Beverly Hills, InterContinental Hotel Century City.

Simon walked out of the elevator, and Sherry Lansing, who was already waiting, greeted him. He personally led him through the corridor to a lively banquet hall. Some people who got the news were already waiting at the entrance of the hall.

"Simon, let me introduce you," Shirley Lansing actively introduced: "This is Bernd Essinger, Chairman of Constantine Pictures."

"Actually we know," Simon waited for Lansing to continue. He had reached out to the middle-aged man with a short and handsome face who stood in front of him: "Born, we will meet again."

Bernd Essinger smiled and shook hands with Simon: "Yeah, Simon, I'm glad we can cooperate this time."

Simon's earliest contact with Constantine Pictures can be traced back to taking back the copyright of "Fantastic Four" from the other party.

Later, Simon went to Germany once and had dinner with Bernd Isinger.

In addition, there is not much intersection.

Speaking of Constantine Pictures, the first thing newcomers often think of is "Resident Evil".In fact, the German film company has also produced a lot of blockbuster projects, and its business focus is on distribution, which is one of the largest film distribution companies in Europe.

Not only that, Constantine Pictures also had a close relationship with another Hollywood movie company, because Bernd Isinger was also its founder and majority shareholder.

This company is called Summit Entertainment.

In this foreign cooperation plan, Constantine Pictures will represent a group of German capitals in MGM’s five packaging projects, with a 20% investment. According to preliminary estimates, the total investment of the five movies is US$350 million. Ding will contribute US$70 million and will also be responsible for part of the European issuance.

Therefore, Constantine is also the most successful case of Simon guiding overseas capital.

Without this guidance, Bernd Essinger will bet on Peak Entertainment to enter the Hollywood production business in the next few years, and has been involved in the production of "Mrs. Belon" and "Two Shots of Smoke" since the late 1990s "Gun", "American School" and other series of blockbuster movies, and even with the later "Twilight" series to reach the true "peak".

Now, due to the strength of Daenerys Entertainment in Hollywood, the lives of several other major studios are not easy, let alone those second- and third-tier small film companies. Simon now introduces these capitals into MGM's packaging cooperation projects. It further eliminates the possibility of similar capital rampages in Hollywood and even bigger accidents.

Shirley Lansing smiled and waited for the two to greet them before introducing the others: "Simon, this is Mr. Lawrence Bernbaum, the chairman of the German investment fund... This is the German leader of the film industry. President Christian Stern...and this..."

Starting from Bernd Essinger, six people were introduced in succession, four of them from Germany, which is also the main funding goal of this packaging project.

There is also one from the UK and one from Spain.

Simon has revisited the information on the plane. The capital represented by these people has invested a minimum of 5% and a maximum of 20% of the project share, accounting for 70% of the total investment of US$350 million, and the remaining 30% by MGM and Danny. Lisi Entertainment has half of each.

Until the last one, Shirley Lansing whispered in Simon's ear and explained a sentence of'Mr. President's good friend' before saying: "Simon, this is Mr. Frank Giustra, he is from Canada, mainly engaged in Mining business, but very interested in Hollywood."

Without Shirley Lansing's introduction, with so many memories of Hollywood in his mind, Simon had recognized the slender short-haired middle-aged man in his gray-haired look.

Frank Giustra is the founder of Liongate Pictures.

Unlike the various speculative capitals in Hollywood that have been photographed on the beach, they have been continually being beaten up.

If the pattern of the Hollywood entertainment industry has not been established after the new century, it is difficult for individual film production companies to compete with the studios backed by large media groups. It is true that Lionsgate Films could be promoted to the seventh largest Hollywood film company at the time.

Although it was introduced by Clinton, Simon smiled and greeted each other, but Simon was slightly hostile.

This is a spoiler.

Because Frank Giustra is obviously not on the investor list for this package project, the other party just came to Hollywood in the name of Clinton's friend to prepare for the next step into the film industry.

According to the memories of the previous life, Simon also knew about the relationship between Giustra and Clinton.

The Canadian businessman actually succeeded in reaching the top of the American political pyramid by coordinating donations for Clinton. The law stipulates that foreigners cannot make political donations to American politicians, but there are too many loopholes.Just like now, although Clinton has not established the later famous or infamous Clinton Foundation, it actually operates a'Clinton Legal Defense Foundation' which nominally provides legal assistance to vulnerable groups. This foundation can be accepted. Overseas donations.

In addition, even the history of Giustra's fortune is actually very typical.

In the 1980s, Giuster initially worked as a stockbroker at Merrill Lynch, and later accumulated enough contacts to set up a financial company focused on mining financing and accumulated the first pot of gold through capital operations.Then, in the 1990s, through the introduction of Clinton, he successfully entered Hollywood, established Lionsgate, and gradually reached the peak.

In fact, Giustra has never given up his own business.

On the original timeline, in 2005, Giustra was once involved in a large-scale uranium mine scandal led by Clinton, which involved more than $30 million in donations to the Clinton Foundation.

In Simon's view, this man is very similar to another professional broker who lingers between capital and power.

That's right.

Jeffrey Epstein.

The same small broker background, the same rise of the first pot of gold through capital operation, the same reliance on the relationship with powerful figures gradually developed.

Western media later continued to emphasize that belittle Epstein is a pimp, it is difficult to say whether there is any intention to cover up the other identity of the other party.After all, the Lori Express is just a personal hobby. By the way, entertaining some'honorable' guests, it is strange to earn hundreds of millions of dollars by pimping.

Going deeper, it is actually a huge network of intertwined roots.

Not much to say.

If Giustra doesn't plan to intervene in Hollywood, Simon is very interested in cultivating the other party as a secret son like Epstein.

Without chatting with Giustra, Simon re-engaged with the owners of the MGM package project and turned to other guests at the reception.The main creators of the three identified projects, "Xenox 2", "Independence Day" and "Macro Contact" will basically be present as long as they are in Los Angeles.

The first to come to Simon is Natasha Henschy who is participating in the filming of "Xenox 2."

"Xenox 2" was filmed in the Los Angeles area.Closed on weekends, so you can attend this reception.

Long time no see, this exotic girl is a little worried about whether someone remembers herself.

On the original plane, Henschy signed a one-year agreement, which was originally free after one year, but after becoming someone's lover, he did not say that the mansion has been recorded in the name, and he was surrounded by others on weekdays. The superiority of being treated with care by all kinds of people, you can easily get various roles and endorsements, you can enjoy all kinds of welfare as other women, you can enter the social circle that is simply hard to reach for her female star, even some festivals. Can receive valuable gifts.

As such.

When gradually getting used to this kind of life, Natasha Henschy even wondered if she would lose all of a sudden, if she could survive.

Moreover, she was only 19 years old when she was next to him.

Now 22 years old.

So young, where do you need to worry?

So more than two years have passed without knowing it.

The only problem is that, over the past two years or so, she has seen a certain number of men in total, and even counted with one hand.

If it weren't for a pair of Maid Maid and Maid of Wei family later, they wondered if they had been dumped.One guard and one guard, this is the standard configuration of Simon's lover. Surveillance and service are all in one. If you want to cut off the relationship, just send them away, and someone does not force it.

Seeing Natasha approaching, Simon naturally raised his hand and hugged the girl, complimenting: "Nata, you are so beautiful tonight."

Feeling the unhindered feeling in the tone of the man in front of him, Natasha relaxed and kissed him boldly: "Thank you, Simon."

Immediately walked to his side and held each other's arms.

I don't plan to let go again tonight.

As the most powerful person in Hollywood, everyone is used to the woman in Simon Westero's flowing water, and he has not shown any strangeness to this. Some women who had seen Westeros appear and had their eyes shined on the scene Star even was full of envy and jealousy to Natasha Henschy.

Next is to say hello to the crew of "Independence Day".

As the first blockbuster after "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice", and the first project outside the DC movie universe, Roland Emmerich knows clearly whether this movie means he can get rid of DC movies The label of the universe director is therefore taken very seriously.

After consultations between several parties, Emmerich finally took the $90 million budget, which is equivalent to "Macro Contact", which is $15 million more than the original version.

In addition to the $40 million of "Xenox 2", the total investment of the first three projects reached $220 million.

The last two projects only have a share of 130 million US dollars, an average of 65 million US dollars. Although they have reached the blockbuster level, they are significantly behind.

Simon personally intervened in the original selection of "Independence Day", basically following the original version, including Bill Pullman, Jeff Goldbrunn, and Will Smith, who has made a name for himself with the role of "Steel Bone", and also found in In the new version of "Desperate Housewives", Sheila Oude, who plays the perfect housewife Bray Van Dikan, plays Jeff Goldbrun's ex-wife who works in the White House.

The overall main lineup has a very high price-performance ratio. The three male players totaled only 10 million US dollars, but their influence was no worse than that of the first-line majors with a salary of more than 10 million, such as Mel Gibson and Harrison Ford.After the success of this project, the situation of Hollywood superstars who have been hit by blockbusters such as the DC movie universe will further decline.

It's been a long time since I saw it. Shera Oward still had the sharpness that made people dare not easily approach in the intellectual elegance like that.

Of course Simon was the one who dared to get close.

Hug gently with the woman, look up and down after loosening, praised: "Still so beautiful, right, are you married?"

"It's over," Sheila Oude inevitably remembered some scenes with the little man in front of her, and the 100 sets of costume gifts that made her remember, and glanced at a vase beside the man: " I’m not a little girl anymore. Of course I am getting married. My baby is one year old."

Simon nodded in recognition: "Actually I prefer to get married."

Sheila Ward gave him a glance, more and more amorous feelings: "Looking at the battle like you go to China, I think it is a big man, still likes chaos so much."

"Don't you know that people who stand taller like to mess up?"

"Now I know."

Gossip joking, although aware of the flaws unwittingly exposed in the woman's emotions, Simon did not take advantage of it, and led Natasha to other places.

"Macro Contact" will not start shooting until the end of the year, except for director Robert Zemigis, the male and female protagonists Simon are planning to change.

The heroine has given Sandra Bullock.

After all, these years, although there is no shadow behind the aura like Judy Foster, Sandra’s popularity is no worse than Foster, and the image age and other aspects are also very suitable, not to mention the personal relationship between the two. There is absolutely no reason to give opportunities to outsiders.

The actor has to be replaced.

Matthew McConaughey couldn't give the impression of a priest, both inside and outside the play, and he was too heavy.

Simon initially thought of Nicholas Cage.

Now Cage is still a big boss, and the play is wide. The melancholic temperament just fits the priest's setting.

Just give up soon.

Too expensive.

The new version of "Mission Impossible 2" starring Cage this summer is about to be released, plus some other blockbuster projects that have participated in the last few years. Now Cage starred in commercial films, and the offer price will not be less than 10 million US dollars.

"Macro Contact" is a standard blockbuster commercial.

Moreover, because it is a big heroine movie, with Sandra as the core, there are not many scenes of the male lead. Inviting Cage is a bit overkill, and it is not easy to talk about the remuneration.

There is also Keanu Reeves.

Starting from "Rola Run", Sandra and Keanu are a pair of screen CPs. It is just that the two have just collaborated on "Speed ​​of Life and Death". Even if they don't talk about pay, it is not suitable to continue to partner in the short term.

So they are still picking.

It's too early to start shooting anyway.

Simon discussed with Zemigis again at the reception. The set standard is to be handsome, very handsome, the kind of woman who can cry handsomely, because Sandra is not beautiful enough and needs to be compensated with the value of the male host. The audience is lost.

Ok.

Sandra was hammered on the spot.

Then there is "Xenox 2".

This project has already started shooting. After several discussions, on the basis of continuing the first routine, the sequel plot has nothing to do with the original version. The core point is the confrontation between the first generation and the second generation.

The story follows the first part.

After the killing of the heterogeneity played by Natasha, humans brought back some samples of heterogeneous tissues to continue their research, and as a result, a second-generation heterogeneity of genetic mutations was cultivated.

Smarter, more powerful, and more bloodthirsty.

Because of the negligence of the researchers, the second-generation heterogeneity escaped from the secret base again, and the official had to summon the first team to hunt down the second-generation heterogeneity.

The result came back.

In desperation, someone proposed a sword-and-slant scheme, using tissue samples to clone the first generation of aliens, and using the mutually exclusive territorial instincts of alien aliens to kill the two generations of aliens.

The plan worked unexpectedly.

The first-generation alien played by Natasha killed the second-generation alien after a hard fight. Instead of killing donkeys, humans sealed the first-generation alien.

The story ends.

Of course, there is no end.

If there is a third part, it is the story of three different generations.

However, it is clear that in order to ensure the success of this series, Natasha Henschy is already like Schwarzenegger in the "Terminator" series. In the future sequel, you must show your face in either way. It will give people a feeling of less.The original Huntsvetch did not participate in the third part, mainly because the second part of the series was screwed up. The subsequent sequels simply did not log in to the cinema line and went directly to the video channel.

If the box office of the new version of "Xenox 2" fails this time, the series will also adopt the mode of directly making video tapes.

Because the video tapes of the "Xenogenous" series are very popular.

Since the point of view is a two-generation heterogeneous showdown, the second-generation heterogeneous actors are also crucial. If they are too different from Natasha Henschy, the appeal will be greatly reduced.

The finalized character is Australian actor and model Megan Gael.

Because a large number of Hollywood films have been shot in Australia in recent years, Australian actors have also unwittingly gained more opportunities to get ahead.

Megan Gal is one of them.

Ordinary people haven’t heard of this name, but many people know that Megan Gael almost became the role of Diana Prince in George Miller’s version of Justice League The photos have been completed, only to start shooting, only because of the various shit inside Time Warner, this project eventually aborted, leaving only a 2007 documentary called "George Miller's Justice League Death".

However, Meghan Gael later starred in George Miller's "Crazy Max: The Road to Rage", and many people's first thought should be thinking that this model is the undead old Joe's harem Which one.

neither.

"Crazy Max: The Road to Rage" was released in 2015.

Meghan Gayle was the one in the movie who was standing naked on the high platform as a bait to hunt passers-by, a member of'Mom', because the other party was 39 years old and missed Wonder Woman, and there was no more Get other opportunities to turn over.

Meghan Gal is now 21 years old, exactly that year.

George Miller originally chose Megan Gael to play Wonder Woman. One of the reasons is that the other party's image is very fit. Well, it is the biggest difference between the screen version of Wonder Woman Linda Carter and the film version of Gal Gadot. aspect.The reason why "Xenox 2" can select each other is also because of this.

Because of this sequel, Natasha is responsible for feelings, and Megan Gail is a flamboyant person. Not only is she hot, but also 180CM taller than Natasha's 178CM.

When Simon and the "Xenox 2" team greeted each other, the two generations of "Xenox" started to spark unconsciously.

There is a spark between women. If it is not a lily tendency, it is probably because of men. This time it is obviously the latter.The actor contract and the model contract were respectively signed by WMA and Elite. Although Meghan Gael was only 21 years old, and was previously unknown, he was not even a well-known model, not even a Supermodel, but it was already in this circle. For several years, it was clear how Natasha Henschitch came to power, not to mention seeing Simon Westero himself at this time.

If you can't grasp such an opportunity, you may never meet again in your life.

Therefore, the performance is very active.

After a few small interactions between his eyes and limbs, he boldly learned that Natasha held Simon's other arm.

After chatting with the "Xenox 2" team for a while, Simon is already hanging one on the side.

After all, I just came back. I don’t plan to stay outside tonight. The people who greeted the party this time have already greeted them. They are about to send off the two women and then leave. They unexpectedly saw a red face in the crowd near them. Peter Jackson.

So he walked over with the two women.

Seeing Simon, Peter Jackson with a cocktail in his hand was very enthusiastic and took the initiative to greet him.

Simon looked at Jackson in the center of the station, and smiled, roughly understanding the situation of the New Zealand director during this time.As the news of the "Middle-earth Film Universe" spread, Peter Jackson's role as the director of the "Lord of the Rings" series also spread.

Looking at the success of the DC movie universe, it is not difficult to imagine how Peter Jackson will be the core creator of the "Middle Earth Movie Universe" series in the future.

What's more, this series inevitably contains a lot of opportunities.

Even if you understand that Simon Westero is the absolute controller of this series, but at this time to have a good relationship with Peter Jackson, there are definitely many benefits, so this director must be "hot" in the circle in the near future.

"Simon, I'm so happy to see you again."

Peter Jackson was still respectful to Simon, but he probably drank a little too much, his speech floated slightly, and he shook slightly when reaching out to Simon.

Simon still smiled, but instead of taking Jackson's hand, he said to several people around him: "I talk to Peter, let's go."

Few unknown pawns were able to enter the reception, but in front of Simon, no one dared to stand up and dispersed.

Peter Jackson was just a little bit, and was not drunk. Seeing Simon refused to shake hands with him, he felt uncomfortable. He looked around and wanted to put down the glass in his hand. As a result, he was empty all around and he could only carry the glass in embarrassment.

Simon looked at him up and down: "Peter, have you felt well recently?"

Of course Peter Jackson understood what Simon was asking, grinning and embarrassing.He was a smooth man, and at this time he still did not understand how Simon Westero was dissatisfied with him.

Simon Megan gestured slightly to the side. The girl was very eloquent and took the initiative to take the wine that Peter Jackson had felt hot on the round table not far away.

After the cup was picked up, Jackson relaxed a little and said, "Simon, I'm so sorry, I might, well, I shouldn't drink so much."

Simon shook his head slightly: "Peter, you have to understand that everything you have felt recently is fake, because you have not really succeeded. Even, I said a word now that I changed my mind, and the next second, you will be nothing. "

Hearing Simon’s words, Peter Jackson was full of excitement, and there was no hint of alcohol: "I...I know, Simon, I am very sorry."

Simon suddenly asked, "Have you seen the "Mr. Zombie"?"

"seen it already."

"How many times have you seen it?"

"I don't remember much," Peter Jackson said vaguely, but immediately said solemnly: "But it must have been more than 10 times."

"In this case, come back to New Zealand tomorrow," Simon finally said with some satisfaction. "Prepare "Ghost of the Horror" and "The Lord of the Rings" in the future. By then, what you enjoy is what you really deserve. Scenery, not soap bubbles now."

"Simon, me, I swear."

"So, what are you still doing here?"

Peter Jackson froze for a while, and said goodbye to Simon softly, turning around without hesitation and leaving the lively banquet hall.
