Hollywood Hunter

Marvin Josephson’s cocktail party in his Beverly Hills mansion was a major social event for ICM’s former Oscar-owned entertainers.

Prior to Wednesday, Daenerys Entertainment officially signed the contract of the actor Clark Kent of "Superman". Because it is an ICM artist, Marvin Josephson personally attended the signing ceremony and also sent this time to Simon. Invitation to the reception.

The officially finalized "Superman" actor, the actor's name is Brad Pitt.

Simon noticed Pete two years ago.

In memory, Brad Pitt actually intended to star in Warner Bros.'s restart version of "Superman Returns" in 2006, but at that time because Pete's reputation was already too great, Warner had to give up each other.

Now Brad Pitt is 29 years old and made his debut in the mid-1980s, but it is different from the smooth sailing of Tom Cruise, who is only one year older than him. Since his debut, Pete has been on the ground floor to appear in various dragon suits.

The most well-known character in the near future is only a "male vase" that originally belonged to him in "The Last Flower", which is the result of the arrangement by Simone del Monte.

In order to pave the way for Pete to play Superman, after "The Last Flower", the actor will also star in "Dahe Lian" invested by Daenerys Entertainment and directed by Robert Redford. The literary film based on the autobiographical novel happens to be Pete's famous work on the original timeline.

According to the arrangement, "Dahe Love" will be released at the end of the year and will impact the awards season next year.

Brad Pitt also signed a 15-year five-year contract similar to that of "Batman" actor Adam Baldwin.

However, unlike Adam Baldwin’s five-piece contract with a total value of $30 million, Brad Pitt’s starting salary was $250,000, and the subsequent four films each increased on a $2.5 million basis.

If the box office of Superman hits expectations, the total value of these five films by Brad Pitt is about $25 million.

The $25 million package contract is almost worthless compared to the potential value of the "Superman" series.However, for the actor Brad Pitt at this time, it is not necessary to get a chance to break the head.

Not only Clark Kent, but also the steel-bonded Victor Stone actor has also been finalized recently.

The cast is Will Smith, who has moved from rap to Hollywood in the past two years.

Will Smith debuted as a rapper in 1985. Although he won the Grammy Best Rap Combination Award three years ago, he can only barely be a second-tier player in the music industry, giving him the total sales of the Grammy Awards album. There are only 500,000.

Because of excessive profligatement and tax evasion after fame, Will Smith was found by the IRS two years ago. The $2.8 million fine directly broke the rapper and had to try to turn to the film and television industry to earn extra money.

Subsequently, the ABC sitcom "Fresh Princes Do More Things", which aired in 1990, made Smith succeed in gaining a foothold in the film and television industry.

The opportunities for black actors to emerge in this era are far less than after the new century.

The DC movie universe is in full swing. Steel Bone, a black superhero, naturally attracts a large number of black actors to compete, and Will Smith is no exception.

Under the impetus of Simon, Will Smith, who is indeed very suitable for the role of steel bone, successfully took the opportunity.

The same five movie contracts, because the popularity of'Steel Bone' is much lower than that of'Superman' and'Batman', but Smith, who has only played a TV series, is not a big man.Therefore, the total value of this packaging contract is only 20 million US dollars.

Five films with a starting salary of $200,000, followed by an increase of four films with a maximum of $2 million each.

Simon took Nicole Kidman to the site of Josephson's cocktail party. The time was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, and the reception had already begun for a long time.

The atmosphere of the cocktail party is mainly loose, and the organizer usually does not stipulate the opening time.

not to mention.

Simon Westero is late...

Ok.

This may sound like a joke in Hollywood now.

Upon learning of Simon's arrival, Marvin Josephson greeted him with his daughter Nancy Josephson.

ICM was reorganized several times in the 1980s, and now Marvin Josephson has basically retired from the management of this talent agency company, but only holds the position of chairman as a major shareholder.

Nancy Josephson is the next generation head of ICM cultivated by Marvin Josephson, and he is now one of the emerging agents in ICM.

As a latecomer, Simon knows that Nancy Josephson will be the co-president of ICM in a few years. The broker also has a very well-known client, Johnny Depp.

Johnny Depp became famous with his "Edward Scissors" two years ago. He is already one of Hollywood's most famous small meats. Depp has also tried to get the Flash character before, just because Simon thinks Depp's style doesn't match Barry Allen's, so he didn't activate the other party.

Next Monday is the Academy Awards, and many of ICM's big names are brought together in Los Angeles like Nicole Kidman.

As a result, this mansion, which occupies more than one acre on the top of Beverly Hills, is full of people in twos and threes on the inside and outside of the villa and on the lawn in the backyard.

Mel Gibson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Denzel Washington, Susan Sarandon, Demi Moore, Julia Roberts, Judy Foster, etc. The third-line artists all appeared at the reception. Of course, there are also some executives of the production companies.

Many Hollywood movie projects are unwittingly finalized in such social situations.

Marvin Josephson tried to invite Simon to attend, of course, not just to enhance his personal feelings.

Say hello to the more familiar Mel Gibson, Marvin Josephson took Simon to the corner of the backyard lawn, where Arnold Schwarzenegger and Columbia Pictures CEO Peter Gu Cypress.

"Simon, Amy said that you are not interested in the script of "Phantom Heroes." I think you should listen to Arnold himself. This will definitely become a blockbuster no less than "Terminator 2."

After last year's "Terminator 2", Arnold Schwarzenegger's popularity has returned to its peak, and the action star's next movie has become the focus of Hollywood's attention.

A few days ago, there was news in the circle that Schwarzenegger was preparing an original script called "Phantom Hero", and the script of the film was also spread in Hollywood for the first time.

Simon doesn't need to read the script, just listen to the name to know that this is the most ruthless Schwarzenegger plant in the 1990s.

"Phantom Heroes" tells the story of a little boy who is obsessed with an action hero on the screen and accidentally gets a movie ticket that can travel between the movie world and the real world, so he starts an adventure with his idol in his mind. Play the action hero named Jack Slater.

In memory, "Phantom Heroes" cost US$85 million just for the production cost.

After the film was released, the box office in North America was only $50 million. The huge loss caused Sony to pay an expensive tuition again. Schwarzenegger's career also nearly hit the rock because of "Phantom Hero".

Such a big pit, Daenerys Entertainment directly chose to refuse when ICM sold this project to major studios.

Looking at the situation at this time, it is clear that the Columbia Pictures controlled by Sony is going to take over this project just like the original time and space.

However, after successive failures of last year's "Ultimate Condor" and "Captain Hawk" and other projects, Sony was also cautiously cautious. Peter Cooper still wanted to pull Daenerys Entertainment into a Cooperation projects.

Simon is definitely not going to blend "Phantom Heroes", of course, will not be kind enough to remind Sony not to participate.

The release of a fiasco box office project such as "Phantom Hero" means that a large market share will be vacated in the same period. This trade-off will definitely be beneficial to Daenerys Entertainment.

After listening patiently to Arnold Schwarzenegger about his views on the project, and chatting with Peter Cooper for a few words, Simon said verbally that he would consider it again. Midai refused again.

Seeing Simon walk away, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Peter Cooper, and "Phantom Heroes" screenwriter Zach Payne were all disappointed.

It's been a long time since I've been in this circle, and just looking at Westero's ambiguous attitude, everyone basically confirms that Daenerys Entertainment should definitely not participate in this project.

However, Simon's coldness did not reduce their determination to make this movie.

In the past year, although Daenerys Entertainment's projects accounted for most of the top box office charts, after all, there are still many selling movies from other film companies.

In Marvin Josephson's expression, he did not agree to participate in "Phantom Hero" in Simon's expression and did not show any strangeness. He still brought him to a tall actor.

This is also an artist under ICM, Liam Neeson.

In addition to filming "Jurassic Park", Spielberg is already looking for the protagonist of "Schindler's List".

Because of the special significance behind "Schindler's List", many big Hollywood actors such as Harrison Ford, Mel Gibson, Warren Beatty, etc. have expressed their willingness to star in the film.

However, Simon still prefers the original Lim Nissen.

Lim Neeson is 40 years old this year and made his debut in the 1980s, and he has only been a second-tier player in Hollywood for ten years.

Thinking about the development of Liam Nissen's career later, I have to say that compared to actresses, Hollywood male stars who have basically no shelf life restrictions really have too many advantages.

In a private discussion, Spielberg thought that Schindler should be a person like Steve Rose, so he wanted to find an actor in the same category.

Since I hope that Lim Nissen will get the role, Westmont's sparring opportunity is better, let ICM and Nissen find a way to find some videos related to Ross for reference.

Unlike "Jurassic Park", "Schindler's List" project, Simon will only make some suggestions, the decision-making power is in the hands of Spielberg.

The box office of "Schindler's List" in memory is actually not bad, but whether or not Spielberg still chooses Nissen as the actor, Simon does not matter.

This project, what Simon sees is not profit at all, but an attitude expressed to the Hollywood Jewish community.

For the outside world, Simon's race is actually a topic that is often discussed because of his unknown life experience.

However, most of the media generally confirmed that, regardless of Simon’s surname before changing to Westeros, or his own appearance, Westeros should be a standard Anglo-Saxon, which is the mainstream American wasp ( WASP) family.

If you do not consider the inner soul, it is actually the same.

Although some people hope that Simon is a Jew, including the Jewish community in Hollywood, they even hope so. Some people even tried whether Simon should join Judaism, but most people basically have a judgment.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Jewish community in the United States seems to be particularly powerful and beautiful, but in fact it is not.

If you go deep into American society, it is not difficult to find that many Jews, whether they are political celebrities or wealthy businessmen, actually have an inferiority complex in front of the WASP.

Many top clubs in the United States still do not accept Jews.

At the same time, many Jews will find ways to squeeze into the WASP circle after they have developed.

Why racial issues have always been so sensitive in the United States.

The root cause is still deeply rooted in ubiquitous racial discrimination. This kind of discrimination is definitely not just between white people and black people. Even among white groups, there is also discrimination like'red neck' and'white trash'.

Simon certainly does not claim to be a Jew or join Judaism in order to cater to the Hollywood Jewish community.

However, as he became more powerful in Hollywood, it was actually necessary to express an attitude by supporting the shooting of "Schindler's List".

Having just talked with Liam Neeson, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore took the initiative to greet each other.

The current situation of the couple can be said to be somewhat declining.

Bruce Willis' two consecutive "Ultra Condor" and "Last Boy Scout" fiasco at the box office, making Hollywood wonder whether the actor who relies on "Tiger Dragon" has the potential for action superstars.

After "The Ghost Love Is Coming", Demi Moore's "Large Good People" last year has once again consolidated her status as a front-line actress in Hollywood.

It's just that after the actress became famous, she might be too eager to make money. After filming "Few Good People", she made two consecutive films back to back.

A Paramount Pictures' "Wife of the Spiritual Media", released in October last year, has a budget cost of 20 million US dollars, and the total box office in North America is only more than 9 million US dollars.

Another result was even worse. Columbian Pictures' "Ghost House 24 Hours", with a budget of $40 million, starred together with "Ghostbusters" actor Dan Ekroyd, trying to copy "Ghostbusters" and "Ghosts" The success of Love Is Not Over.

As a result, the film was released on February 14th this year, and the box office was only US$3.26 million in the first week of the painting, and the total number of box office barely exceeded US$6 million in the second week.

It stands to reason that Demi Moore and her coffee roles in the film actor will definitely not be an unpopular period like October and February.

Both films were left in the cemetery of the schedule, which is enough to show that the studio itself is very pessimistic about the quality of the film "The Spirit of the Media" and "The Haunted House 24 Hours".

Two consecutive starring films have failed at the box office, and even though the popularity accumulated by "Human Ghost Love" and "Few Good People" has not yet dissipated, Hollywood studios are almost going to label the actress with a box office poison.

Everyone can also see that Demi Moore's performance is really remarkable in "The Ghost Love Is Coming", but "Few Good People", the film is successful, and more should be Robert De Niro and Tom Han These two big coffee fans support the field.

Moreover, behind the scenes of "Human Ghost Love is Coming" and "Few Good People", there is a figure of a young man standing again.

Sorted out like this, Demi Moore's box office appeal is even more doubtful.

Six years after Simon’s rebirth, Hollywood has changed beyond recognition.

The blockbuster era opens in advance, and big scenes, big productions, special effects, and big IP projects will gradually replace the personal appeal of the stars. After continuously rolling over, the couple want to make a comeback, the difficulty is not ordinary.

"Simon, I also talked to Ms. Facie on the phone yesterday about this Oscar dress. The last time I spoke about Van Cleef & Arpels' endorsement, I was so sorry that I had fired my PR manager. She thought Van Cleef & Arpels Bao’s brand positioning doesn’t fit my image very well. However, if the CK that Melissa Sandra has just acquired needs my help, I will definitely try my best.”

Last year, Van Cleef & Arpels spokesperson was selected. Sofia’s first favorite actress was Demi Moore. The two sides also tried to contact. As a result, Demi Moore chose to speak for Van Cleef & Arpels’ most direct competitor Cartier.

"It doesn't matter, and I don't ask too much about Melisandre."

Simon shook his head.

His expectations for women have never been too high, so he didn't have any special feelings about the incident.

What's more, Van Cleef & Arpels' current spokesperson stands beside him.

Facts also prove that Nicole Kidman's endorsement of a jewelry brand is more suitable than Demi Moore regardless of image or temperament.

Demi Moore couldn't help but glance at Nicole, apparently wanting to say something, but hesitant, but just casually talked about a few non-nutritive topics, and walked away with Willis.

Despite feeling pleased and regretful when Demi Moore talked to herself, and even taking advantage of her husband’s inattentiveness, Simon did not intend to waste much attention on her. The actress probably It's true that all the spirits have been exhausted in a "Human Ghost Love Is Not Coming".

In this way, he continued to entertain among the guest group of one or two hundred people for about an hour. After 9:30, Simon left the backyard lawn and planned to cross the villa to leave the reception.

However, in the hall of the villa, Simon encountered a figure that surprised him a little.
