Hollywood Hunter

Rare time, without spending your own time, Rachel Vichy and Kate Beckinsale planned to play in Seattle for a week, but unfortunately three days later they were urgently recalled by their respective brokerage companies.

Opportunity falls from the sky.

Rachel returned to Los Angeles and was so excited that Todd Winterburton, an almost agitated agent, gave her two scripts.

Both are blockbuster projects coveted by Hollywood's age-appropriate actresses: the special effects blockbuster "Mummy" in collaboration with Daenerys and Fox and the new film "Titanic" by James Cameron.

Happiness came too suddenly, and Rachel himself had some unrealism.

At the age of 15, he began to make some small roles in the British film and television circle. At the age of 25, this year is considered to be a mixed circle for 10 years. The more you are in this industry, the more you know how rare it is to get this opportunity. Many small actors at the bottom of the mix , Even the chance to get a supporting role in this blockbuster movie in life is not necessarily encountered.

And she got two in a flash.

They are all heroines.

It is the Oscars for the award season. The busy Hollywood stars and celebs have gathered in Hollywood for a year, so it is also the most active period of gossip in this circle.

Many people grabbed their heads and tried to win the opportunity, and immediately fell on two unknown British actresses. This kind of news is difficult to hide.

Rachel Vichy's brokerage company CAA and Kate Beckinsale's brokerage company WMA are equipped with the top women's top broker, public relations and assistant teams for the first time. At this time, the first things to be prepared for are The messy and messy things will disturb the chance of getting it.

In order to pursue higher ranks, women tear up secretly, but they do everything they can.

This is especially true of Hollywood women.

In the following days, Rachel was surrounded by a group of people and began to work day and night. He carefully studied the script, studied the relevant materials of the two projects in depth, met with the senior executives of Daenerys Entertainment, and the two projects. Main communication, rehearsal auditions, participation in contract negotiations with brokers, diet and shaping plans that started almost immediately, accepting some scheduled media interviews, etc.

Because of the abruptly tight schedule, Rachel had to take the initiative to abandon the small role in the new film "Smelling Fragrances" by Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci, because the film is scheduled to be shot in Italy in May, although she has few plays , But at that time it was impossible to go to Italy at all.

After the news spread, Rachel soon learned that Kate Beckinsale had the chance to be the heroine of "The Thunderbolt".Although it is a three-female film, in Rachel’s opinion, the gold content is still better than that of "Mummy" and "Titanic". After all, the entertainment industry is ultimately a male-dominated world. In the case of male and female co-stars, the actor After all, the audience gained is more.

The heroine of Rachel is finalized, and the three creative cores of "Mummy" which are scheduled for next summer are basically in place.

The director is the original Stephen Sommers. The young director who graduated from the Film School of the University of South Carolina is 33 years old. He relied on his well-known film debut six years ago to successfully enter Hollywood. The most recently directed Disney animation adaptation of the live-action movie " After the release of The Prince of Forest last Christmas, the box office was also impressive.

The actor finalized Fang Kimer.

The Hollywood actor who made his debut in "The Aspirations" with Cruz was not very lucky these years. In fact, even if it hasn't happened in Simon's memory, Fang Jimer is not counted. There is no shortage of opportunities for an actor with good luck, but whether it is George Lucas’s special effects blockbuster "The Wind and Cloud" or Simon’s "Eternal Batman" in memory, to many later films, always Did not let this actor try a big red and purple feeling.

The career failure seems to be directly reflected in the actor's appearance.

So much so that Simon accidentally saw each other on "Snowman" based on a Swedish thriller novel,

Simon this big butterfly has changed the fate of many people, Fang Jimer is another.

In fact, if possible, Simon would prefer the original actor Brandon Fischer, but the actor is still only a 27-year-old little fresh meat.

That's right, the same age as Simon.

However, Simon has seen a sample of the film that the other party participated in. Compared with the mature temperament of Simon II, Brandon Fischer can still be described as beautiful and tender. Most of the films in the show are high school students. It is also the kind that is easy to cause some of Hollywood's special sexual orientation to be coveted. It is completely incompatible with the image of the shaggy prodigal in "Mummy" a few years later, and his acting skills are also very jerky.

In comparison, Fang Jimer, who has a good coffee age and a good age, image temperament, and other aspects that are very consistent with the needs of the project, appears to be just right, and this Hollywood actor who just recovered a lot of popularity in "Theft" last year is also willing to Sign a long contract for the trilogy, and the two parties will hit it off.

In the past, because Hollywood was the producer responsibility system, the related projects also required some big coffee producers to hold the helm.

Daenerys Entertainment gradually changed this pattern.

Traditional Hollywood producers often have to control the production ideas of a project. The most typical one is Spielberg. This point, Daenerys is basically finalized by Simon himself, but he has never been named.As a result, Daenerys entertained the producers of a series of blockbusters, mainly responsible for logistical work, helping directors and actors solve all problems encountered during the shooting process.

After so many years, Daenerys Entertainment also has a series of very stable producers.

Just because the core of the control is usually Simon himself, these people are not as famous as the gold producers such as Jerry Brookheimer and Joe Silvo who need to control the overall situation.

Of the three external cooperation projects, "Mummy" was first released, and the production team was also the fastest to be formed. At the same time, the script was basically finalized. The scenes and special effects planning have been started. The project is expected to start in June.In order to save costs as much as possible, Simon intends to shoot the main scene in Morocco as the original version, Morocco is not far from the United Kingdom, so that it is also convenient for the crew to shoot a part of the relevant British scene.

From Janet’s birthday to the Oscars ceremony at the end of March, Igrid continued to promote its own IPO process, and the employee shareholding plan that reached 25% of the total share capital was implemented smoothly, while Simon remained in Los Angeles to deal with Danny. A series of important projects of Lisi.

The projects of "Counter-Star 3", "Jurassic Park 2" and "Apollo 13" for Easter and summer have been completed, and the "Psychological Game" and the 3D animated version of "Beauty and Both Beast and Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice require Simon’s attention.

This was followed by a series of project preparations from 1996 to 1997.

Not just blockbusters like "Broken Valley", "Mission Impossible 2", "Mummy", "Game of the Brave", "Wonder Woman 2", but also the new film "The Soul Movie Universe", "The Peak Hour" "The series and the new movie of Kim Carey, which shined last year, etc., are producing medium-sized but equally important projects.

Among them, "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" is being filmed in Australia. Simon also plans to go to Australia after the Academy Awards and personally follow up for some time.

Also this month, many things related to the Westeros system are happening.

Last year’s mid-term elections resolved many obstacles to the Westeros system in Washington, and a series of bills began to accelerate.

Following the lifting of the'Media Integration Ban', in mid-March, the House of Representatives and the White House again passed the Digital Rights Act, which has been blocked last year. The most important'safe haven regulations' make the entire Internet no longer need to worry about Encountered large-scale infringement litigation.

Of course, it is inevitable that the promulgation of this bill has also made piracy more popular on Internet platforms.

In addition, the "Communication Weathering Bill" has also entered the final review stage, and no accident will happen. The vote will be held in April, unless there are major unforeseen major changes, it will almost certainly be passed.

As for the "Telecommunications Act" that will affect the entire information industry, even if the Westeros system and other telecommunications industry giants exert their power, the obstacles are not small. After all, it is different from the lifting of the "Media Integration Ban". The Telecommunications Act will completely loosen the information industry.

Finally, there is a capital gains tax reform bill.

This bill, the two parties actually want to pass it with a tacit understanding, just to take into account the media and the public's response, has been procrastinating.

After Clinton took office, he formulated a number of tax increase policies for all people, such as the "gasoline tax". Now that tax reductions are in place, it is still a "capital gain tax" that makes it difficult for the general public to directly enjoy the benefits. You can imagine that everyone will be What reaction.

Fortunately, last year's midterm elections gave Clinton an excuse to dump the pot.

Now that both the Senate and the House are controlled by the Republican Party, this bill is submitted and passed, and it has nothing to do with the Democratic Party.

The White House can actually refuse to sign.

However, this general trend, Mr. President is powerless?

As expected, the capital gains tax reform bill will probably be voted in Congress around May.

Exactly, Igrid's listing followed.

In order to avoid eating too ugly and making it difficult for everyone to do, this IPO will still focus on additional issuance, but Simon can quietly start cashing out other technology stocks. With his holding period of many technology stocks, he can completely Enjoy the minimum capital gains tax rate of 15%, which is much easier to accept than the current 28% of meat cutting.

Daenerys Studios.

Linda Vargas, Simon's director of cast selection, patiently waited for more than ten minutes in the lounge, and the door of his boss's office finally opened.

Sending the two screenwriters of "Game of the Brave" to leave, Simon motioned for Linda Vargus to come in.

Sitting at his desk, he opened the script of "Game of the Brave" that he had just discussed with the two screenwriters. Simon asked, "How is the result?"

Linda Vargas shook her head in regret: "Schwarzenegger's agent still insists on signing only a single film contract."

The two discussed the selection of "Game of the Brave".

After choosing the 2017 version of the story in memory, it was naturally impossible for the former actor Boulder Johnson to use the original version. Johnson’s current situation is similar to that of Brandon Fischer, and he can’t afford this role at all.

Picking and choosing, Simon found that Arnold Schwarzenegger was more suitable for Dr. Spencer in the film.

There are many comedy elements in the 2017 version of "Game of the Brave", which happens that Arnold is the only actor who has opened up his own comedy drama way among several action actors at this stage.

In addition, Stallone is more suitable for tragic characters, and the images of Harrison Ford, Mel Gibson, etc. are not at all in harmony. Simon also considered the second-line Duffer Longer and Shang Ge Yundun, and then found that There is no reason why these action men can only shoot B-level action movies. Arnold's acting skills are actually very poor. Duff Longer is a few, but worse.

Facing the contact of Daenerys Entertainment, Arnold's feedback is actually quite positive, and he is happy to star in such projects.

However, participation is possible, long-term interviews.

After successive projects such as "The Cannonball Expert" and "Awesome Wind", Stallone has begun to go downhill obviously, relying on the success of "Terminator 2" and "True Lies" last year. Still maintaining the peak, there is still enough confidence to talk to Daenerys about the conditions.

Seeing his boss knocking on the table and thinking, Linda Vargas hesitated and said, "The boss, Bruce Willis contacted me yesterday. He was also very interested in this role, and he also shot a performance sample in private. , Do you want to see it?"

Simon heard Willis' name and shook his head without thinking: "Willis doesn't match this role at all. He lacks the tough temperament I want and is too short."

Linda Vargas knows that Willis's height is 178CM, which is actually higher than Stallone at 176CM.

However, I just mentioned that it was considered a sentiment. I realized that there was no room for negotiation in the tone of my boss, so I didn't talk much.

From the beginning of "Rola Run", for many years, she has been the person in charge of Simon's royal casting, and now enjoys the treatment of the Vice President of the Daenerys Group. She is very cherished and cautious about her job, and is very clear This young boss is not a person who can be easily influenced.

Just mentioning Willis, it is considered to be a favor, and the owner also knows that he is a favor, and it is allowed. After all, Hollywood is a personal love circle, but if you struggle to persuade your boss to change your mind, this touches the red line.
