Hollywood Hunter

Simon has not actually considered the heroine of "True Lies".

As long as it's not Jamie Lee Curtis.

Did not refuse Feira Forsait's self-recommendation, but Simon only said that he would arrange an audition for the other side.

Fira Forsett was a little disappointed, and this commitment was obviously a bit refusal, and was about to continue to say something, Simon had already said: "Fira, can I chat with Joe for a while?"

The man's tone was still gentle, but Fira Forsett didn't dare to be entangled again, and realized that there was no drama tonight. He approached and whispered, "You can call me anytime," and got up and left.

Fara Forsett disappeared, and Jonathan Friedman explained with a smile: "Knowing that it is not the type you like, it's just a difficult relationship."

Simon smiled and nodded his understanding.

The woman's figure and sound just now are very good, and there is no lineup.

It's just a little too dark.

This is very incompatible with Simon's aesthetic tendency.

Moreover, thinking of some of the information in his memory, Simon was even less interested in Fira Forsett, and faintly generated some other ideas.

Maybe you should pay attention to it later.

He was never too worried about what he was getting into. The wealth and power he now possessed were enough to offset too many things, but he didn’t want the women around him to be hurt.

After many years of rebirth, Simon's indifference and alienation to the world have not dissipated, but he is more and more concerned about the people around him.

Jonathan explained one thing, and then said another thing: "The "Terror Zone" that MGM recently launched, Simon, how do you think about it?"

Not only is "Speed ​​of Life and Death", MGM has also identified several other projects recently.

"Terror Zone", adapted from the best-selling novel, is also one of them. The film tells the story of the virus proliferation caused by illegal smuggling of animals that almost killed a town's residents. It also involves elements such as biological weapons research. The main line is still a veteran personal hero. Doctrine, the actor saves the world.

The original "Terror Zone" starred Dustin Hoffman.

Simon has seen this movie, the actor played by Dustin Hoffman has no savior temperament, but instead is very CP with the monkey in the film.

For the sake of comparison, Harrison Ford should be the actor in the film.

In fact, the project was originally tailored for Harrison Ford.

The result was taken by Dustin Hoffman, which was obviously a packaging project that CAA forced together, without considering whether the character image fits.

Michael Ovitz always lobbied the Hollywood studios to let his own artists try a variety of drama styles.

There is no problem for an artist to pursue a breakthrough, and you will be wrong if you mess up.

Simon will certainly not allow the past to happen again this time. Seeing Jonathan asked, and also understood the meaning of the other party, laughing: "Do you want Bob to try?"

Jonathan nodded: "Yes, after "Theft", Bob happened to have a schedule."

The Bob here is Robert De Niro.

At the beginning, he signed De Niro from the CAA. In recent years, the actor has been the ace of Jonathan, and has continuously cooperated with Daenerys Entertainment in "Pulp Fiction", "Death Poetry Society", "Spiritual "Six Senses" and other selling projects, De Niro is also recently partnering with Al Pacino to shoot a gangster film "Stealing Fire" invested by Daenerys Entertainment, which is a movie that Simon likes very much.

For "Terror Zone", Simon first thought of Harrison Ford.

It's just not a coincidence that Ford has signed Paramount's "Burrowing Chase", which is the sequel to last year's "Patriot Game" and belongs to the final part of the original novelist Tom Clancy's 80th Cold War anti-terrorism trilogy One.The first two "Hunting Red October" and "Patriot Games" have been successful, and the third "Burrowing Chase" is logical.

Ford has no schedule, and Simon has considered two Bobs who work closely with Daenerys Entertainment.

The release period of "Terror Zone" is probably at the end of next year or the beginning of the following year, depending on factors such as the effect of the film. Both Bob's dates are ok, but the role fit is much worse.

Radford can play a gentleman, he can be a cowboy, he can be a villain, and De Niro is ever-changing.

However, both of them lack a main melody that can save the world.

Just when Sandra mentioned Stallone, Simon also flashed some thoughts, but it quickly dissipated.

"Terror Zone" is a feature film that requires acting.

Stallone and Schwarzenegger muscular men are still better at carrying the cannon to save the world, even if they perform.

Simon did not conceal, and said frankly his thoughts.

Jonathan was a bit disappointed, but also expressed understanding, "In this case, Ford is indeed the most suitable. What are you going to do now?"

Simon said: "If Ford can appear, it will be a blockbuster with a budget of 50 million US dollars. Now that Ford has no schedule, I plan to make a medium-sized film with a budget in half, 25 million US dollars. The actor's initial consideration is Sam Neal."

Sam Neal was the actor of Jurassic Park last year. Although the protagonist of the film is a series of ancient dinosaurs, the actor has gained worldwide popularity, and the pay is only equivalent to Ford and Redford. , Half of De Niro and others.The image of scholars and warm men in "Jurassic Park" also makes Sam Neal very suitable for the image of the fearless doctor in "Terror Zone".

Sam Neal is an artist under WMA.

Although relying on last year's "Jurassic Park" reputation, but Jonathan originally felt that the other party's development potential is not great.

Hollywood middle-aged actor is already very saturated, whether it is intentional or unintentional, Harrison Ford, Robert Redford and other first-line big coffee will not give Neil too many opportunities to get ahead.

Now, Simon is going to give Neal some other projects outside of "Jurassic Park". Jonathan will certainly not miss it. With Simon's support, other people in Hollywood don't want to play tricks.Although it is not an actor in his own name, if WMA can appear another first-line big coffee, and there will not be too much conflict with Robert De Niro under his name, Jonathan will certainly not refuse.

"In this case, I will arrange a meeting between Shirley and Neil tomorrow. What do you think?"

Simon felt the eagerness in Jonathan's tone and nodded with a smile: "Okay."

"So, what about the heroine?"

Although the budget was halved, no one knew more about the magic of the young man in front of him than Jonathan. He hasn't missed the projects he has seen in recent years.

Sam Neal can break through "Jurassic Park" to the next level, the heroine is also an opportunity.

All in all, the heroine of the original "Terror Zone" happens to be Renee Russell.

Sam Neal and Renee Russell just partnered in "Jurassic Park" last year and also signed a long contract for two sequels. If they appear in another film at the same time, it will definitely increase the popularity of the film.

It's just that according to Hollywood convention, the two stars who have just partnered are not suitable for the next cooperation immediately, unless it is a sequel.

In the history of the past, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan's "Sleepless Night in Seattle" was a great success, and it did not appear in the "Electronic Love Letter" until a few years later. Richard Gere and Ju Leah Roberts' second film "Runaway Bride" and "Wind Moon Beauty" are almost ten years apart.

Renee Russell was inappropriate, Simon had considered another woman with similar temperament, Sheila Oude.

Relying on the role of the perfect housewife Bray Van Dikan in "Desperate Housewives", Sheila Oude has also been very popular with the audience in the past year.

It's a pity that Shella Odd has no schedule.

The American TV series is broadcast while filming. The second season of "Desperate Housewives" spans from this autumn to next spring. "Terror Zone" wants to catch up with the end of 1994. At the same time, it also needs to ensure that Sam Neal's "Juvenile" "Rogers Park 2" is scheduled to start shooting at the latest early next year, when Shella Odd is still in the "Desperate Housewives" crew.

Thinking about this, Simon shook his head: "There is no suitable person for this time, you can recommend it."

Jonathan laughed: "Just Fira?"

"It's a vase. The heroine is a doctor. You need something like Renee Russell or Shella Ward, and your acting skills are good enough."

"Then I will go back and pick according to your standards."

After continuing to chat for a while, it was almost time to see Simon leaving the party early.

Girl A and Simon returned to Dumei Point Manor together. The girl was still a little strange. She thought her boss would not return home tonight. She might even take a woman selected at the party to fly to other cities.

So she also called ahead to arrange a private jet.

Entering the Shell Villa, Simon took off his suit and handed it to the girl A who had taken it forward subconsciously. He noticed Alison's small expression and ridiculed, "What do you think is bad?"

"No," girl A shook her head, and said casually: "Is the boss going to take a shower?"

"Go rest, don't worry about me."

"Oh."

As his mouth promised, Alison was still waiting for Simon to go upstairs. Then he sorted out his suit and hugged it in his arms to the laundry room on the side of the villa.

The Shell Villa at night appears very empty. Because of the good sound insulation, the sound of the waves cannot pass in, so it is also very quiet.He stepped on a series of high-heeled shoes and hugged the man's clothes. He was inexplicably relieved, so he snuggled up and smelled it. Then he felt a little embarrassed and felt very perverted.

A little busy, after taking a bath, girl A lay in bed and fell asleep late.

After six months of pregnancy, Janet felt sealed again.

Although not as cautious as the first time, as the pregnancy became longer, out of the mother's instincts, the woman also got cautious again. Recently, she no longer works, and she just follows the various schedules of pregnancy every day.Troubles are unavoidable, especially after discovering that she has gained a lot of weight and has more stretch marks on her belly than the first time, the woman once again vowed to never give birth again.

By comparison, the female assistant looks forward to the little guy in her stomach.

The genders of the two children have been determined. Janet is still a boy this time, and the female assistant is a girl.

This also satisfied the female assistant.

She thinks Seattle Westeros is more suitable as a girl's name.

The little guy in Janet's belly also has a name.

This time it was decided by Raymond Johnston personally, probably because of a long grudge against the name of Westeros and his son and daughter Melbourne. The old man undoubtedly said that if the boy was Nicolaas when he went to Melbourne last time, The girl is called Anita, this is the name of Janet's grandparents.

It is a tradition for Westerners to use the names of their elders to give their children.

The old man didn't let the child be called Raymond or Cui Qian, and Janet's grandparents were no longer alive, and Simon had no objection, otherwise it would be a bit weird for him.

As for the pregnancy of the female assistant, and Janet's decision to announce to the outside that she had a pair of twins, it is not a secret to the Johnston family. Simon did not intend to hide it, nor could he conceal the matter from his family.

The old man didn't say anything, but he didn't give Simon a good face when he went to Melbourne last time.

Anthony Johnston was also assigned to talk to Simon, mentioning the issue of inheritance rights, and hoping that the child of the female assistant would not be named Westeros.

Simon is also frank about this. The assets under his name are large enough now, and will be even more amazing in the future. This asset cannot be left alone to any one or several children. In the future, it is better to exist in the name of the family foundation.As for the surname, Simon did not give in, and said he did not want his children to experience similar experiences as he once did.

If Simon was still the poor boy, Johnston's family would certainly not be too good to talk.

However, now Simon has made too many people look up, even the Johnston family, in the eyes of many people, has vaguely become a vassal of the Westeros system.Simon insisted on his attitude, and the Johnston family never mentioned the matter of the female assistant's child.

Instead, Janet told Simon privately that her family would prevent her from guarding against her men in the future.

Ask Simon if he is afraid?

After the summer party celebration party of Daenerys Entertainment, after several negotiations, the "Real Lies" project was finally finalized.

Arnold Schwarzenegger took the initiative to reduce his pay from $15 million to $12 million.

James Cameron did not make much concessions.

Schwarzenegger, who was originally a friend of this project, invited him to help. He was not interested in such films. If the producer insisted, Cameron said he would not mind quitting.

The final compromise is to increase the budget to $80 million. However, once overruns, Cameron’s fixed director’s remuneration of $8 million is halved, but the $4 million that was deducted is not required to be paid, but converted into profit sharing. Terms.

If the project is profitable.

Although the production budget of "True Lies" in memory is as high as 115 million US dollars, it is still very profitable.

Both Schwarzenegger and Cameron made some concessions, and Simon did not insist too much.

MGM and Fox soon signed a cooperation agreement, in which the distribution commission of Fox can get 10%, which is higher than the 8% originally proposed by Simon, but it is also 12.5% ​​than the DC movie universe project that Warner Brothers is responsible for. The commission ratio is 2.5 percentage points lower, which is a step back for both parties.

Simon, the last heroine, didn't have a very suitable candidate. Fira Forsett, the actors who wanted to get the role through human relations, were also not suitable for him. They simply dumped it to the crew.

As long as it's not Jamie Lee Curtis.
