Hollywood Hunter

Chapter 463 Sleepless in Seattle

"May, Daenerys and Disney recently collaborated on this project, have you seen the script?"

"Of course, "Sleepless in Seattle"," Melanie Griffith nodded, and then was disappointed again: "However, I asked Joe, he said that the heroine Simon has set, there is no chance for us ."

"Oh, it's such a shame, I think the heroine is quite suitable for you."

Beverly Hills.

Jonathan Friedman is in the mansion of Cold Water Canyon Community, which is a very common one among countless parties in the award season.

Melanie Griffith listened to Joanna Cassidy in front of her, and also expressed regret.

After giving birth to Dakota Johnson, after only a short break of less than a year, Melanie Griffiths resumed filming. However, several projects in the past two years have appeared tepid, Counting it, only Dakota's box office one year before the birth was fairly good.

By comparison, husband Don Johnson, who was originally just in the TV drama circle, started his career after "The Ten Days of Danger", and the original state of "women's high and men's low" is obviously reversing.

Probably due to the fact that a young man was born, Melanie Griffith, who was born in a film family, can most feel the obvious changes in Hollywood in recent years, which also gave her a strong sense of crisis .If she can no longer get one or two selling items to support her popularity, she will soon fall back to the second line.

Hollywood is a circle of personal affection, but in many cases it is also the most impersonal.

If you are not in popularity, it is even more difficult to get quality projects.

Then there is a vicious circle all the way down.

A couple came to say hello to Hollywood actress Alan Bucking and her husband Gabriel Byrne.The reason for saying this is mainly because this is also a'women high and men low' mix.

Of course, even if the girls are high and the boys low, Alan Barkin is only a second-line.

Melanie Griffith and Joanna Cassidy stopped the conversation and responded politely to the couple's greetings.

The two were not eligible for such a party.

However, Gaomen Pictures recently took a fancy to the copyright of a memoir "Proof of Innocence" by Gabriel Byrne.

Byrne bought the copyright for itself a few years ago, originally intending to personally star in the actor and make a single film with a budget of two to three million, hoping to impact some awards.

After the high-profile film industry expressed interest in Proof of Innocence, after several communications, Bourne ceded the copyright, and he only served as the named executive producer.The project has also been finalized recently, named "In the Name of the Father", and Highgate Pictures intends to have Daniel Day Lewis appear in the project after "The Last Moses".

After this transaction, the second-tier couple also drew attention in the circle.

The two sides are not familiar, and originally only need to nod and know.

However, after a few words, Melanie Griffith suddenly warmed up to Allen Bucking and lowered his voice a little: "Allen, your lip line is so beautiful, what did you just do recently?"

Gabriel Byrne next to Alan Barkin found that Melanie started the conversation between women,

Although I don't understand why Griffith suddenly warmed up to myself, and even had some slight vigilance in my heart, if I can make friends with the other party, I will definitely do no harm to myself.

Hollywood has no refrain from plastic surgery. This circle, from first-line superstars to young actors who have just debuted, spends hundreds of millions of dollars every year in order to make their image better.

Carefully brushing his plump lip line, Alan Bagin said: "I made it at a clinic in Orange County, May, if you are interested, I can leave you a call."

"Of course, give it to me now." Melanie Griffith seemed to be very eager to pull out the pen and paper directly from the handbag, and he replied: "I just happened to do a full lips recently, just contacted a few None of the doctors are very satisfied."

Joanna Cassidy smiled and listened to the conversation between the two women. At the end, she saw Alan Bucking looking at herself. She seemed to be asking if she was interested, but she just shook her head with a smile.

When Alan Bucking left a little bit errantly, Joanna Cassidy said: "May, you are so bad, and even encouraged her to do it again."

In the past two years, many Hollywood actresses have gradually realized a rule: Westeros does not like lips.

The news was first inadvertently revealed by Simon's royal casting director Linda Vargas.

This young man who is gaining more and more power in Hollywood has directly brushed away the actresses who have undergone lip augmentation surgery more than once during the casting process. It is said that Westero's original words are: lip augmentation looks very deformed , Completely destroying the natural beauty of women's lips.

For this reason, the trend of lip augmentation, which has been popular in Hollywood for many years, is rapidly fading.

However, the news did not spread quickly.

The competition in Hollywood is very fierce, and the star who knows this insider will not take the initiative to disclose the news to other competitors.Even, of course, there is no lack of Melanie Griffith's initiative to encourage others to'self-destruct image'.

Melanie Griffith just looked at the couple who just didn’t like it, and took a prank. Of course, it also meant pushing Alan Barkin, an actress similar to her peers, farther away. .

As for the other party's reaction after being misled, she didn't care at all.

Ignoring Joanna Cassidy's ridicule, she looked at her husband, Don Johnson, who was not far away from Brian de Palma, and she suddenly said, "I don't know if Simon will come tonight. ."

Joanna Cassidy looked to the villa leading to the entrance to the backyard. After taking on the role of Queen Hippolyte in "Wonder Woman", although the film will only be released in the summer, she has gradually been reduced to To regain vitality in the cause of mixing TV circles, there are now about two films that have not yet started shooting.

In contrast, the last few candidates who competed for this role at the time, she remembers one, the most threatening Sanda Bergman, who has participated in "Jazz Spring", and Schwarzenegger's early "Barbarian" "Conan" and so on are considered to be one of the most promising actresses to take the role of Queen Hippolyte. They used to have similar coffee positions, and they deliberately seduce a young man during the audition.

However, after missing Queen Hippolyte, the other party could only confuse some low-cost thriller romance movies recently.

Too many situations in our life will lead us to diverge because of one or two opportunities.

After "Instinct", Hollywood thrillers are very popular in recent years. Although it is difficult to enter the cinema, the cable TV and video market are very popular with this theme.If you sell well, there will naturally be a large number of people swarming up.

Speaking of which, these were caused by a young man.

Thinking about it this way, Joanna Cassidy said: "Isn't he in Japan? Regarding the Universal Studios Japan, I also saw in the newspaper yesterday that his trip to Japan triggered the'Westero effect', which is really interesting."

In the turmoil of the Japanese stock market two years ago, because the financial markets were aware of Simon’s participation, the Japanese stock market was directly implicated by many of Simon’s actions. Even after Simon rushed to Australia once, there was a sharp drop.

At the beginning, there was media ridicule. Simon Westero wanted to go to Japan, and was likely to be refused.

I don't know if it was a coincidence. Simon rushed to Japan for Universal Studios Osaka this time. The Tokyo stock market suffered another 3% drop on the day he arrived, which surprised many people.

The terrier of the'Westero effect' was therefore raised again.

Melanie Griffith also knew about this, followed a few laughs and said, "I heard that he has returned, yesterday."

Today is already February 15th, Saturday.

Simon rushed to Osaka from Monday, but stayed there for five days.

Joanna Cassidy wasn't quite sure about these, but if Westero could come over, of course it was the best, so she couldn't help looking at the entrance again.

Then I really saw a guy.

Melanie Griffith also captured Simon's figure for the first time. It wasn't her eyes, but the guests who were chatting together in groups in the backyard. When Simon Westero appeared, Can not help turning his attention away.

It's just that Westeros was talking to Jonathan Friedman, and everyone didn't get too rude to get together.

"This time, only the intention contract for 100 acres of land was signed. The Osaka municipal government does not want cash, but wants to buy shares with land."

In the eyes of everyone, Simon, who had just arrived, took a cocktail from the waiter and stood in the courtyard at random to chat with Jonathan Friedman about the results of his trip to Japan.

Jonathan Friedman also carried a cocktail and analyzed with a smile: "Japan's land prices have fallen a lot, and the Osaka Municipal Government should promote Universal Studios next year to promote the entire city's economy. It will not ask for too high prices. ?"

"Probably about 10%," Simon said: "However, maybe it will be delayed for a month or two, and there will be some turning points. You know, Disneyland Paris opens in April."

Jonathan keenly grasped the subtext in Simon's words: "Aren't you optimistic about Paris Disney?"

"It's hard to say that at least the cost of Disney in Paris is seriously out of control, and the cultural conflict is also very obvious. Unlike Japan's recognition of American culture, France is very anti-American."

Jonathan also understands the joints. If the operating conditions of Disneyland Paris are lower than expected, and the Japanese economy is in a downturn, the Osaka municipal government is likely to abandon the requirement for holding shares and choose cash directly for risk reasons.After all, if you insist on holding shares, once the theme park's operation fails in the future, this part of the equity will not only fail to obtain profit dividends, but will continue to depreciate.

"Don't talk about this, Simon, Meg is also here tonight. Would you like to talk to her about "The Sleepless in Seattle"?"

Jonathan said that, before Simon responded, he made a glance at Meg Ryan not far away.

Although transferred to the WMA group, Meg Ryan was not personally represented by Jonathan.However, WMA has been trying to transition to the CAA model in recent years, emphasizing internal cooperation, and Jonathan naturally wants to lead by example.

"Good evening, Simon."

After a series of previous encounters, Meg Ryan was like a well-behaved little quail in front of Simon.

Simon looked at Meg Ryan wearing a black suspender gown tonight, and some satisfaction flashed in his eyes, saying: "Hanks is very interested in the script. The actor is basically sure that it will be him. You can privately and He talks about the script."

Meg Ryan nodded and noted that he saw the man lift the glass in his hand and took a sip of wine, then walked away happily.

Jonathan next to see this scene, but also helpless.

Simon always seems to have little interest in this Hollywood sweet sister who is regarded as a dream lover by countless fans.

When Meg Ryan was sent away, Melanie Griffith, who had been watching by the side, took her husband and walked over, followed by the alone Joanna Cassidy.

Everyone chatted a few words, Melanie Griffith also specifically talked about Dakota's situation.

Because of Simon’s personal name, Dakota Johnson has become the goddess of Simon Westero in the impression of many people due to the continuous spread of Hollywood.I don't know if the Johnsons did it deliberately, and Simon didn't care about these details.

Coming tonight, mainly to chat with Brian de Palma about the new project he is preparing for "The Dawn of the Lovers".

After chatting with the Johnsons for a while, Simon and Palma and Jonathan hid back to the villa.

Now Simon, if he doesn't want to socialize, most people just take it for granted.

This is another biographical gangster film. Universal Pictures bought the script two years ago and began to prepare slowly.

In Simon’s memory, the box office of this film was barely okay, plus Brian de Palma’s sake, the project was directly included in Daenerys Entertainment’s next year’s list.

However, Brian de Palma's favorite actor Al Pacino still has a "Smell the Woman", and "The Dawn of the Lovers" can only wait until the second half of the year.The schedule will depend on the specific effects of the film to be determined.

Simon, Palma and Jonathan chatted on the terrace of the second floor of the Jonathan's mansion for more than ten minutes, and more details were basically confirmed.

Knowing that many people at the party tonight are still looking forward to contacting Simone, Brian de Palma didn’t want to be hated by others. After he finished the business, he talked about some trivial matters, and took the initiative to stand up and want to talk to others call.

"Simon, the Berne couple who bought the copyright of "Innocent" also came tonight, would you like to talk to them?"

Simon shook his head, looked down from the platform, and unexpectedly found a figure of a woman, but it was Chris Jenna.

The woman probably kept watching here, and when she looked at Simon, she looked up and smiled politely at the man.

Jonathan noticed this, and took the initiative to stand up and said: "Well, I will go downstairs first."

Simon just nodded.

Chris Jenna also gestured downstairs to Simon.

Somehow, seeing this woman who claimed to be "familiar with him", Simon couldn't help but give birth to some sadistic thoughts.

This terrace has an enclosed fence, and inward is a living room.

Noting that Kris Jenner locked the aspect when she entered the living room, Simon couldn't help but show some smiles. The woman was erotic, or she didn't want others to come to disturb her.

"Hi, Simon."

I still wanted to explain why I was here tonight, Kris Jenna, walked into the terrace, and just greeted me, I saw the young man in front of me slowly emptying a plate with candy on the round table in front of me On the floor at the feet, then poured some wine into it.

Immediately thought of the experience on the plane.

Although a long time has passed, in the face of this more powerful man in Hollywood, thinking of everything she has obtained from the "New York Wife" series in the past six months, Kris Jenna could not bear the slightest resistance against her mind.

Looking at the plates with drinks at the feet of men, this Play has also been played.

Therefore, just hesitated for a few seconds, looked around, and confirmed that no one would be able to see this, the woman smiled pleased and slowly lowered her body.
