After lunch, the afternoon was the production and promotion conference of two films on New World Pictures.

It was Friday, October 18th.

Daenerys Entertainment's Halloween schedule will officially start next week. On October 26, the latest series "Annabelle" produced by New World Pictures will be officially released soon.

As another extension of the Conjuring Movie Universe series, the prototype of "Annabelle" takes place in 1970. It also comes from the material provided by supernatural investigators Warren and his wife, telling the story of a ragdoll being possessed by an evil spirit.

The production cost of the film is still US$15 million, far exceeding the 6.5 million version of the original 2014 space-time version, which is still not considered inflation.

"Annabelle", which was once derived from the "Soul Conjuring" series, started production after the success of "Soul Conjuring" in 2013. At that time, there was no concept of the "Soul Conjuring" and so there was no big expectation. Not only did the production budget be shabby, but even the director and protagonist of the film were all newcomers. As a result, the film was a great success, with a production cost of 6.5 million US dollars and a cumulative global box office of more than 200 million US dollars. After that, Warner began to seriously build the Soul Conjuring Cinema Universe.

Of course this time is different.

The new soul-conjuring movie universe, the two series that started, "The Spirit Conjuring" and "The Mortuary Haunted Incident" have both been successful. Daenerys Entertainment attached great importance to the new version of "Annabelle", so it directly locked in a production budget of $15 million, and both directors and actors have relatively considerable foundations.

For example, the most important heroine, this time it is Madeline Stowe.

Although this actress who debuted in the 1980s has always seemed a little tepid, she has been quite recognized in both appearance and acting skills. She has worked with big names such as Kevin Costner, Jack Nicholson and Daniel Day Lewis. It can be said that all she lacks is an opportunity.

"Annabelle", which is basically supported by the heroine, is such an opportunity for Madeline Stowe.

Although horror movies often cannot provide the status of actors too much, as long as the project achieves the success of the first two series of the Soul Conjuring Movie Universe, this actress who has always been in a vase can get rid of the shadows brought by a number of big names and gain more attention and resources from Hollywood.

Because of this attribute, the heroine of "Annabelle" also experienced a lot of competition.

The film was completed two months ago, and the promotion and distribution were launched at the same time. The afternoon meeting was only discussed in the last week's release sprint and some subsequent promotion and distribution arrangements after the release of the film.

The other is "American Pie".

This youthful comedy has been cast in the past period. Compared with the soul-suming movie universe, the production budget for the first film is only $1,000. However, because it is a project under Daenerys Entertainment, it still attracts many teen actors or actors who pretend they are teenagers to come and fight for it.

Inspired by "American Pi", Simon also realized that the youth film craze could be launched again in the next few years.

Speaking of which, the last youth film boom was probably when Simon made his debut in the 1980s, and gave several series "The God of Death", "Butterfly Effect" and "Scream". Ten years later, these series have basically been silent. Coupled with the rapid rise of a series of super blockbuster films in recent years, youth films have fallen into a low point.

Now, American Pie can be just as a new beginning.

In order to promote this plan, Simon specially arranged for Daenerys Entertainment to sign as long-term film contracts as possible with the selected actors. The three starts, and more of them are packaged five contracts, basically buying out a group of newcomers or rookies who pretend to be newcomers in the next ten years.

Next, you can try the same team, horror movies, sex comedy, spoof movies, etc. As long as a certain potential brand effect is formed, the market will definitely favor this same group of people more.

Moreover, although bound, this is also a benefit to the actor itself.

After all, the biggest feature of the actors in the past youth films was that the short-term elimination rate of the acting cycle was high. After a few movies, they would often be forgotten by the audience. Daenerys Entertainment created a fixed youth film team, which can not only control costs and maintain the continuity of the series, but also continue its career as much as possible for actors.

Speaking of "American Pie", as the beginning of another youth film craze under New World Pictures, Daenerys Entertainment, the project directly finalized the popular schedule for next summer vacation, and it also once again fits the idea of ​​three Daenerys Entertainment's labels starting side by side.

The whole afternoon, the meeting on "Annabelle" lasted for an hour, and the other time was left to "American Pi" and related youth film plans.

What Simon is most interested in is the group of young and handsome guys signed by Daenerys Entertainment during this period.

Because of Simon's intervention, many names are familiar.

Of course, the main thing that attracts Simon's interest is the actress.

For example, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jennifer Love Hewitt, as well as Jordanna Brewster, who was very short in her life but was quite amazing when she was young, as well as Reich Witherspoon, Anna Farrell, Jennifer Esposito, Noza Elizabeth, Kelly Russell, and Charlize Theron who accidentally jumped into this list.

These actresses will definitely not be able to use up one of the American Pie, but everyone can get a good opportunity for the next plan.

Moreover, if it weren't for the fact that it was a bit powerless during this period, Simon would have wanted to hold a special party to bring the girls together to entertain.

At the end of the meeting, Simon did not forget to talk about "Hangover", which was a plan that occurred in New York some time ago. In order to promote a casino under the control of the Westeros system, Simon planned to arrange the original "Hangover" scene in Atlantic City on the East Coast to film this R-level comedy that triggered a phenomenal movie viewing craze in advance.

However, compared to "American Pie" or "Annabelle", which will be painted next week, even next year's film list is full, this project can only be pushed to the next year.

This also happens to give the project enough time to create.

In addition, this project can also be used to support the Lanzi Gang to compete with several comedy stars at this stage.

After finishing the week of work, Simon set off again the next day to rush to the East Coast.

Mainly come here to accompany the woman.

In addition, the four major fashion weeks have officially concluded, so it also mentioned the final rehearsal stage of the first and last Victoria's Secret Show, and Simon also needs to keep a close eye on it.

It's quite troublesome to say.

After some thoughts last month, the Westeros family unknowingly had three more children who were nurturing.

Grace had one in her belly.

Maria had one in her belly.

And finally, Erin Lauder one.

The first two were all fine, but the last girl from the Lauder family was the trouble. The main reason was that Simon didn't have a clear plan at the beginning, but he just casually explained to the female housekeeper who was responsible for some things, a little, well, the risk factor was in it, but he didn't expect to hit it with a shot.

Now we can only bear the consequences honestly.

This time I came here to discuss this issue.

When Erin and Simon were together, they always said half true, half false and half resentful, "You can't marry me." Their thoughts were self-evident, but it was impossible to get married. If Simon dared to divorce Janet, according to the woman's original statement, the result would be heart-to-heart, without any other meaning, and it was completely literally heart-to-heart.

Simon never thought about it either.

So, after a whole day of discussion with women and even their family elders on Sunday, I finally came up with a plan.

First of all, the child belongs.

In the future, it will be raised by the Lauder family. Even if it doesn’t care much about money, it will have to pay support. $1 million per month will be responsible for it. Irene will be responsible for it until the child is 18 years old and there will be no money left. If it is other rich people, $1 million per month will definitely not be easy to bear. For Simon, it is not a problem.

As I said, money is not a problem.

Secondly, it is a relatively tug-of-war topic.

Last name.

Unlike other fathers who have children who dare not even recognize them outside, Simon firmly demands that their children’s surname is Westeros, and the Lauder family, as Erin Lauder told Simon last time, there are only two sisters in the family, and there are no boys. If they have children, it is better to be boys, then they can be named Lauder and inherit the family business.

At the end of the dispute, the Lauder family made a compromise, but the child must add the middle name of "Lader".

Again, there is another topic that Simon didn't think of much about.

The Lauders require their children to believe in Judaism in the future.

Many people may not notice much of the Lauder family, but it is indeed Jewish.

Simon has always been not very sensitive to religion, nor has there been some deep-rooted prejudice from Westerners. Therefore, he readily agreed to a solemn and obvious nervous request for the Lauder family.

In fact, another meaning is that Simon admits that the little guy in a woman's belly is Jewish.

It doesn't matter.

In short, after a whole day of busyness, in addition to the main three topics, along with various details, the lawyers secretly invited compiled more than 100 pages of legal documents about the child.

Although he is an Oriental at heart, Simon did not have any disgust with these.

Just like the prenuptial agreement signed when he married Janet.

It is a good thing for both parties to determine a lot of things in advance.

After a busy day, Simon was stayed at night to attend a party organized by the Lauder family.

Seeing that many Jewish tycoons from all walks of life on the East Coast political and business were quietly attending, Simon realized that this child might mean many other things.

You can understand it even if you think about it a little.

The huge Westeros system has developed to a point where it has a significant influence on the entire world economy. More importantly, the industrial fields involved in the Westeros system, whether in Hollywood, the fashion circle, or even Wall Street, are all areas where Jewish groups gather. Even before Simon appeared, Hollywood was basically the territory of the Jews.

And Simon himself, to this day, except for the Johnstons, there are not many people in the outside world who can judge his specific ethnicity.

Of course, it is easy to argue that Simon Westeros is definitely not a black man.

All right.

In short, although Simon has never been very sensitive to things like ethnicity, it does not mean that others are the same.

Whether it is the Anglo-Saxon, Jew, or even Italians, French, British, etc., which are distinguished by countries, they actually have a very strict ethnic circle. The deep-rooted roots of racial discrimination in the West are actually this, because even though it seems to be in harmony more than ten years later, it is actually clear.

Different ethnic groups naturally mean different racial interests.

Simon has never disclosed his ethnicity before. Perhaps in the hearts of many people, the orphan who came from the welfare home himself did not hear clearly. Since this is the case, he can only hope for the other party's descendants.

However, the two women and Jenny in the Dume Point Manor are obviously both standard Anglo-Saxons, which means that the same is true for the few little guys in the Dume Point Manor.

If these little guys inherit Simon Westero's career and become the owner of Hollywood and even the fashion circle in the future, it is hard to say whether they will be as sensitive to different ethnic groups in each circle as they are now.

Simon's retardation to race and religion is certainly no secret to those around him.

Now, Simon Westeros suddenly had a child with the Lauder family's daughter, and things suddenly became a little different.

The Lauder family is a representative of the Jewish consortium and a representative of the Jewish consortium in the fashion field.

As long as this child can be more legitimate and become Simon Westeros heir in the future, then at least, the Jews will definitely not appear too passive in the future Westeros system.

It is very likely that this is actually one of the reasons why the Lauder family made concessions in terms of surnames.

After all, whether this child’s surname is Lauder or Westeros in the future will definitely have different meanings for many people outside.

Manhattan.

Inside the mansion of the Lauder family.

Erin Lauder, holding Simon's arm, had a social gathering in the crowd. He chatted with Terry Semer in the Soviet Union for a while. When he took Simon toward him, he finally said to the man around him: "Do you understand?"

Simon nodded: "Yes, it seems that he was cheated."
Chapter completed!
