Hollywood Hunter

Next month, "Ninja Turtles 2" will be released as the heroine of the film's actress Ae P. O'Neill, although in this movie with four turtles, it is only a vase, Nicole Kidman As we approached the Oscars, we took a special leave from the "Midnight Bell" set in Melbourne, Australia, to return to Los Angeles for a week.

Oscars in this era generally have more than 40 million viewers, second only to the annual Super Bowl.

This year there are two Daenerys Entertainment "Ninja Turtles 2" and "Midnight Bells" focused on creating a film release. Whether it is for the purpose of maintaining personal fame or movie publicity, the Academy Awards must be attended.

Of course, Nicole Kidman is very happy about this kind of running.

Too many men and women in Hollywood are climbing all their lives, and they may not be able to sit in the Oscars ceremony hall.

Returning to Los Angeles on March 25, while preparing for the Oscars, WMA also arranged a series of other work schedules for her.

Daenerys Studios.

The time is Friday, March 27.

In the morning at the MGM headquarters in Century City, I participated in an audition for a script and had lunch. Nicole Kidman hurried to Daenerys Studios in Malibu.

Poison Ivy’s image design was confirmed last month. While Nicole returned from Australia, Simon wanted to see the effect of her character after applying makeup herself.

After the total box office in North America broke through the US$200 million mark at the end of January, "The Flash" has been released in the past two months, and the cumulative box office as of yesterday has reached US$251 million. The film is a single week from March 20 to March 26. The box office has also slipped to 1.78 million US dollars, and it is expected to be downgraded around Easter next month. The total local box office is about 255 million US dollars.

Overseas, the box office performance of "The Flash" is even better. The box office that has been released has accumulated to 363 million US dollars in more than three months.As the overseas distribution continues, it is only a matter of time before the total of "The Flash" exceeds US$400 million.

The total box office in the world is more than 650 million US dollars. Even if it cannot be compared with the two "Batman", such box office results are enough to make other Hollywood studios envious.

The DC movie universe has sold three consecutive films, and the follow-up project plan has naturally received further attention from the two companies.

According to the information recently collected by the media, Daenerys and Warner Bros. will officially announce the candidates for the two major projects of DC movie universe, "Superman" and "Steel Bone"."Batman: The Rise of the Dark Knight" has already been revealed too much by gossip.

Nicole Kidman knew more about the news that was not heard by the outside world.

For example, her poison ivy female character actually signed a three-part contract.

In addition to the villains in Batman: The Rise of the Dark Knight, she will also join the follow-up "Suicide Squad" series.

A guy once talked about this role, saying that if the poison ivy girl is enough to stand out, the future popularity may be as good as that of Catwoman.

Take a look at the scenery of Valerie Galino in Hollywood in the last two years. If Poison Ivy really can do this, Nicole believes that she can maintain the status of first-line actress for at least the entire nineties.

Recalling that at the beginning, she clearly had such a good starting point as "Pulp Fiction". Because of some self-righteous abacus in her heart, she almost missed her most solid backing in Hollywood.

Fortunately, it's not too late when the reaction comes.

It's just that every time I think of the guy who made her drink two bottles of water at the premiere of "Batman: Moment of War" and hurried to the lobby to endure for more than an hour, my heart will haunt an indescribably strange mood.

Poison Ivy's makeup took nearly 4 hours. After finishing the makeup, it was close to get off work, but Simon still didn't show up, just took a set of makeup photos and a video in the studio.

So until six o'clock in the afternoon, Simon and Warner Bros. CEO Terry Semel did not appear together.

Not only was Nicole busy with Poison Ivy all afternoon,

The DC Film Universe team has a dedicated office area in Office 3, Office 2, on the second floor of Daenerys Studios.

In the previous three films, the intersection of the DC movie universe basically still exists in the egg.

However, starting from this summer's "Wonder Woman", the entire DC movie universe will officially start fusion. According to the plot plan, this fusion will use three mother boxes as a series clue.

In the first "Wonder Woman", the story still happened in the First World War, but the story is very different from the version of Gal Gadot in Simon's memory.

British Air Force pilot Steve Trevor accidentally crashed into Paradise Island, breaking the tranquility of the Amazonians who have been hiding for centuries.

Knowing that war is happening in the human world outside Paradise Island, and found that the information that Steve Trevor accidentally collected was similar to the mother box that triggered the war of various races in Amazonian history, Queen Hippolyte decided to send her own Daughter Diana Prince left Paradise Island with Steve Trevor, trying to retrieve the mother box to avoid a bigger disaster.

Diana finally defeated Ares, who used the mother box to kill humans, and brought the first mother box back to Paradise Island.

Then, to retrieve all three mother boxes in the legend became the ultimate mission of Diana Prince.

The second female box will appear in "Superman" in the summer of 1993.

Clark Kent's biological parents used the energy of the mother box to send the newly born son away from the krypton to be destroyed, and the second mother box also followed to the earth.

In the plot setting, after the adult Clark Kent and the follow-up General Zord had a great battle, the mother box fell into the hands of human beings, and it triggered the "Steel Bone" plot scheduled for the end of 1993.

The rugby player Victor Stone's father Silas Stone happened to be part of the mother box research team.

In a car accident, Victor was seriously injured and dying. In order to save his son, Silas Stone used the energy of the mother box to turn Victor into a semi-human and semi-mechanical biochemical person.

Because he didn't understand the role of the mother box, during the rescue of Stone, he also accidentally created the villain'Grid' of the "Steel Bone" series.

The ending of the story is that the steel bone that accepted his biochemical state defeated the grid, but the second mother box was accidentally stolen. It fell into the hands of the metropolitan entrepreneur Rex Luther who has been paying attention to the Superman incident. This mother box It has also become an important clue in "Batman Vs Superman."

At the same time, the loss of the mother box triggered the federal government to secretly form the "Suicide Squad" in an attempt to retrieve the lost mother box.

The third female box appeared in "Batman: The Rise of the Dark Knight" during the summer of 1994.

The clown who got the blessing of the mother box was finally defeated by Batman, and Diana Prince, who had recovered all three mother boxes as a personal mission, also appeared in this film, but did not reveal his true identity. Take the third female box.

Subsequently, the second "Suicide Squad" triggered by the loss of the mother box was confirmed to be at the end of 1994. The result of the story was that the "Suicide Squad" had initially taken shape, but the mother box brought by Superman from his own planet was still not recovered.

Next, "Batman Vs Superman", the period is 1995.

Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman work together against Lex Luthor who uses her mother box to transform into an alien alien.

The setting of alien aliens is actually similar to the day of destruction.

However, the "Superman's Death" event in the DC comic series has not yet occurred, and the Day of Destruction has not been born. It will be launched by DC Comics at the end of this year.

Therefore, in the story setting of "Batman Vs Superman", Rex Luther wanted to use the mother box technology and the kryptonite gene to transform himself into a more powerful biochemical person than the steel bone, but the result became a day of destruction. monster.

When the story of "Batman Vs Superman" ended, Wonder Woman finally recovered the last female box, and all three female boxes were stored in the Amazon Island Paradise Island.

In the summer of 1996, "Justice League".

The wilderness wolf invades and takes away the three female boxes guarded by the Amazons.

Superheroes, such as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Catwoman, and so on, assembled across the board to form a Justice League against the wilderness army of wolves.

Simon and Semel saw Nicole's poison ivy make-up and lens effects together, and Semel soon resigned.

Four hours of makeup, but it is not easy to remove the makeup on the body.

A makeup room in the Daenerys special effects office area.

After confirming the effect, the makeup artist started to help Nicole wipe off the paint on his body. Because the paint is specially made, the effect of direct water flushing is not good. You need to wipe off most of it with the configured cleaner.

Simon did not leave directly, sitting next to the makeup artist to help Nicole remove makeup, and by the way asked about the shooting situation of "Midnight Bell."

Because of the distance, the Australian side will only send the shooting samples back to Los Angeles every week.

Simon did not understand the specific situation of the crew.

"You know, Philip and I collaborated once when we crossed the Horizon. He is a very serious director. For "Midnight Bell", he is fully aware of the effect that this film needs to achieve. I will return next week. In Melbourne, it will take at least two weeks to kill." Nicole turned his neck slightly and asked the makeup artist to wipe the paint on his neck. While squinting the man beside his eyes, he said, "Simon, I went to MGM for an audition this morning. Do you know that "Body Heat Edge"?"

Simon nodded: "I know, Alan Sorkin's new script, or I let MGM contact you, the heroine is very suitable for you."

Alan Sorkin was the screenwriter of the "Large Good People" that was sold last year. Daenerys and MGM collaborated on this project, although because of Tom Hanks, Robert De Niro and Demi Moore The starring of the three big coffees led to a production budget of US$40 million, but the film only received US$117 million in North America. As of now, the global box office has also exceeded the US$200 million mark, which is a big profit.

With the success of "Few Good People", Alan Sorkin also entered the ranks of Hollywood gold writers, and the new script "Body Edge" once again cooperated with MGM.

However, this time did not participate in Daenerys Entertainment, but MGM's sole proprietorship.

Nicole heard Simon said that he had arranged it himself. There were some surprises and surprises. Then he reacted and asked, "This project doesn't seem to be a collaborative film between Daenerys and MGM?"

Without the participation of Daenerys Entertainment, the box office prospects of the film seem to be less secure.

Simon just smiled and said: "Yeah, but the script is still good, and, you must know MGM's current situation, cooperation or sole proprietorship is the same."

In the memory of "Body Edge", the heroine is Nicole Kidman.

Simon does not remember the box office data of this film, but can confirm that the market performance is not bad.

Moreover, compared to "Few Good People", the budget of "Body Heat Edge", which does not intend to launch a too heavy lineup, only requires $20 million. Even if it really fails, MGM can afford it.

After shelving the 007 series, MGM's plan for the next few years is to elaborate a batch of medium and low-cost commercial films, and Simon will also properly insert a few'dark horses' into it.At the same time, MGM will also try to act as an agent for distribution, and get the project from Hollywood second and third-tier film companies to do pure agent distribution.

Simon's ultimate goal is to make this big film company that experienced continuous turbulence and decline in the 1980s slowly recover its vitality.

After two or three years, Simon will reach the first stage of the goal, and Simon will make the next arrangement for this company.

Nicole heard Simon say this, his eyes flickered a little, and he no longer hesitated.

The name already has the "Ninja Turtles" series, "Midnight Bell" and the female character of Poison Ivy. Even if "Body Heat Edge" fails, it will have little effect on her.

What's more, this was arranged by Westero himself.

I had promised to be "obedient" once. Although I don't know if he can remember, she did not intend to go against the man's will.

Following the makeup artist's other posture, Yu Guang noticed the man's movement of lifting his wrist to watch his watch. Nicole thought for a while and asked, "You, do you want to eat together next time?"

Simon shook his head and said: "There is already an arrangement, Marvin Josephson's reception, do you want to come together?"

Nicole hesitated and nodded quickly.

Although she is an artist under WMA, it seems a bit inappropriate to go to the reception of ICM founder Marvin Josephson's house, but if it is with Westeros, it will be no problem.

The two female make-up artists who were quietly surrounded by Nicole and helped her wipe the paint on her body were pretty envious.Just a few hints were thrown at the big boss beside him, but the other party did not give any response.

As for the chat content that the big boss and Nicole Kidman had just talked about, they must also be treated as if they had not heard.

First of all, there are no important gossips, such as "Midnight Bell" and "Body Edge", and they have nothing to do with these little makeup artists. As for the big boss to take Nicole Kidman to the reception, it is definitely not a big deal. Gossip.

Secondly, if it spreads indiscriminately, they definitely don't want to continue working at Daenerys Entertainment.

Nicole, 25, is at the peak of her face value.

Janet is not in Los Angeles, Simon has no other arrangements tonight, of course, do not mind to taste this Australian beauty again tonight.

Now that Nicole agreed, Simon patiently continued to wait for her makeup to be removed, and also specially sent a set of dresses for the reception, the two talents left Daenerys Studios together at night.
