The hot girl group is very simple. Daenerys Entertainment has been discovering teen pop singers over the years. It is easy to copy it, even if it fails, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

However, it would be a pity if such a super big IP was dropped by a butterfly in the "Harry Potter" series.

In the front cabin study of Boeing 767.

Simon was thinking about these things with all his heart. Girl A knocked in and sent a document that had just been sorted out: "Boss, this is from Chris Lee."

At Jonathan's cocktail party two days ago, Simon met Chris Lee, the president of Sony's Columbia Pictures. After chatting, the next day, someone sent a message to ask Chris Lee to sort out all the project information that Sony Pictures is incubating for him.

It's actually some kind of temptation.

Sony has been in Hollywood for so many years. If it were the past, foreign capital was surviving in Hollywood, it was actually in line with Simon's plan. Since Daenerys Entertainment did not intend to retain its strength and seek coexistence, it should be the driver who swept the Japanese out of Hollywood.

In history, with the huge series such as "Man in Black" and "Spider-Man", Sony successfully survived the difficult period around 2,000 years and gained a foothold in Hollywood for a long time. Now, since the Japanese are going to be eliminated, Simon needs to control Sony as much as possible to see variables that suddenly appear in big-selling films.

Chris Lee is a piece that Simon tempted to fall.

Since Chris Lee told the information, it is obvious that the Hollywood executive not only understood Simon's intentions, but also decisively sent the letter of vote requested by Simon.

Simon took the document handed over by Girl A and opened it. He found that the information given by Chris Lee was more detailed than what he asked for, including Sony's film list this year, as well as internal evaluation tendencies for various incubation projects, etc.

After several consecutive losses, Sony-controlled two major brands, Colombia and Samsung, is expected to produce only 11 movies this year, including 7 Colombia and 4 Samsung Pictures.

In addition to "Walking with the Devil" which was released during the Easter schedule, the key films of 1997 are also scheduled for the summer schedule, and "The Mad Python Disaster" and "Absolute Power" and "The End of the Year" and "The Stars" are all small films with a budget of less than $30 million.

This is very different from the 1997 film list in Simon's memory.

After a little overhauling the information in my mind, in the past history, 1997 was a year when Sony made a big comeback. In the previous life, Sony occupied 4 movies, namely "Man in Black", "Air Force One", "Full-Fine", and "My Best Friend's Wedding".

It was officially because of selling four movies in a year that Sony survived the most difficult period, and after the millennium, it completely gained a foothold with the Spider-Man series.

This time, things obviously changed too much.

First of all, under the strong impact of Daenerys Entertainment and Sony's successive losses caused by years of losses, the Japanese electronics giant, like several other Hollywood studios, had to actively reduce the production of films. The two brands of 11 movies are not too few, and Fox has less than 10 movies this year.

However, compared with the success or failure of "Men in Black", "Air Force One", "Walking with the Devil", "Starry Team", "Fifth Element", etc., this time, the only blockbuster with a budget of $50 million is "Walking with the Devil", "Absolute Power", "Enjoy the Good" and "Starry Team".

After a closer analysis, the main videos of the four parts being distributed during the summer and the end of the year are also very interesting.

"Absolute Power" is a crime drama film directed and directed by Clint Eastwood again. The old cowboy has stopped hanging on the tree of Warner since Steve Rose passed away. In addition, the box office has always been very guaranteed and is very popular among major studios. This time, she was attracted by Sony and spent $50 million to shoot the new film.

"The Crazy Python" is a typical monster adventure film in Hollywood. The starring role was Jennifer Lopez, and it was a typical bad movie, but the box office was pretty good. In addition, the hot sales in the videotape market, a series of sequels were subsequently produced, some of which were directly launched on the videotape and DVD market just like "The Alien".

This time, because Jennifer Lopez is busy with the judges of "American Idol", the heroine is replaced by Demi Moore.

Obviously it was the influence of Simon, the big butterfly.

Without the rise of Daenerys Entertainment, the Bruce Willis and Demi Moores should have been very moist in the nineties.

Even though there is no representative work after "The Love of Man and Ghost", Demi Moore still relied on a large amount of hot money that poured into Hollywood in the 1990s to take on big budget films such as "The Devil's Soldier" and "****". No matter how bad these projects cheated investors, Moore's consecutive pay of more than 10 million US dollars was a pledge.

Of course, because of his character's failure, in 2003's "Charlie's Angels 2", Demi Moore, who played the villain, had only $2 million left.

Now, under the strength of Daenerys Entertainment, other major studios are not easy to survive, and hot money is not stupid. The amount of inflows into Hollywood has been greatly reduced, and Simon has taken the initiative to absorb part of it. The most direct result is that celebrities' chances of taking hot money dividends have also been greatly reduced. In addition, the good era of 20 million yuan in Hollywood's top celebrities has not arrived. At present, Simon has successfully stuck to the upper limit of 15 million yuan.

The butterfly influence on a smaller scale is that the couple Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's life is far less easy.

In any case, Demi Moore won the role of Sony's "Crazy Python Disaster" this time. Compared with Jennifer Lopez, who had just crossed the circle for a while, although Demi Moore's status is still higher, the budget of the film is still only US$45 million, and the blockbuster threshold of less than US$50 million.

As for the box office this time, according to internal news given by Chris Lee, "The Crazy Python" has not been effective and the prospects are not too optimistic.

Then there is the end of the year "Fine and Beautiful".

This is a drama film by James Brooks, a well-known Hollywood filmmaker who has produced hit films such as "Mother and Daughter Love" and "Flying Over the Future", and is also a romantic film. It has also been a double-bang box office award in history. It not only once again made Jack Nicholson the Oscars, but also entered the sixth place in the annual box office list.

The final "Starship Team" is not to mention that it is another box office defeat compared to the cost of exceeding 100 million.

Overall, "Walking with the Devil" has failed. The subsequent four main films are "Absolute Power", "The Mad Python Disaster", "The Perfection" and "The Stars". Even if "The Perfection" can be as popular as the original time and space, it will be difficult to reverse the overall decline of Sony Pictures.

As long as there is no big accident, Sony Pictures will still end in a loss in 1997.

After watching Sony's 1997 film list, Simon wrote "My Best Friend's Wedding" on the draft paper at hand again, and then painted it off.

This first ten films in the box office were obviously a project tailor-made for Julia Roberts back then, so it was natural to be dropped by a butterfly. Since I thought about it, I must do it, and it is a 100 million yuan film, why not?

Immediately, Simon did not forget "Air Force One" and added another round.

This is also a top ten film.

Even if the budget is a bit high and the cost-effectiveness is relatively low, it will be fine to give it to MGM or other studios in the future.

After getting these things done, I continued to flip and soon discovered that "Air Force One" was still on Sony's incubation list. However, because of the very bad experience of "Walking with the Devil" starring Harrison Ford, Sony's senior executives launched the production progress of this project. Now, "Walking with the Devil" completely failed at the box office. If nothing unexpected happens, at least Sony will definitely not make this film again.

When Simon saw this, he didn't need to do this anymore, so he just made annotations on the information.

Since Chris Lee gave a letter of fame, Simon will of course give back. This project can allow the other party to quietly suppress it, and after the Japanese get out, it can be taken out again, and it will also become a qualification.

Then, Simon soon saw another project, "Godzilla".

Sony is in contact with Japan's Toho, and has not yet agreed.

Simon immediately listed him as a sniper target.

The 1998 version of Roland Emmerich's version of "Godzilla" was criticized because Godzilla was made into a Tyrannosaurus Rex. However, because of the reputation of this world-class IP and the shocking special effects, the global box office of nearly $400 million is actually not a failure. Sony basically recovered its costs and achieved profitability.

This time, Roland Emmerich is still under Daenerys Entertainment. If Sony agrees to negotiate copyright, it will probably not be easy to do worse than Emmerich before.

With Godzilla's reputation worldwide, the box office is quite guaranteed, and it may even make a hit if you are not careful.

Simon doesn't want to see any hits in Sony Pictures next.

After thinking a little, Simon turned to the computer on his desk and sent an email to Amy Pascal, asking her to try to contact the Japanese and intercept the project.

At the end of the document, Simon successfully found a big pit.

Kevin Costner is lobbying a project called "2013 Ultimate Gods", which is a science fiction story adapted from a novel. It tells the story of a tramp who accidentally obtained a set of postman equipment after the outbreak of the nuclear war, so he began to pretend that postman wandered between gathering places, and unexpectedly became the spiritual leader among the residents of the end of the world.

Obviously, Kevin Costner is not willing to accept the failure of "Future Water World", which is the momentum that is on the verge of the end of the world.

However, because it was once a bombshell that was tragic for failure, Simon remembered it very clearly.

In history, "2013 Ultimate God Bad" was invested by Warner and released at the end of this year. Now, because everyone's life is not easy, Costner has not yet invested, and Sony is only one of the negotiation partners. Moreover, with the information given by Chris Lee, Sony obviously doesn't catch a cold.

The question now is how to make Sony catch a cold.

In fact, the method is simple. As long as Daenerys Entertainment expresses interest, just like the script "Bad Things" that was just stolen a while ago, this trick is quite proven to be successful in Hollywood.

Of course, we should also avoid backfiring.

Simon thought about it carefully and did not choose to reuse the same trick. Instead, he planned to let Chris Lee operate it himself. Even if Sony's senior management was very deadly at Sony Pictures' team, it would be impossible for him to have no room for operation here.

As for what to do specifically?

Simon is confident in the ability of Hollywood natives to fool investors.

This is another test.

After sorting out these, Simon quickly typed out a memo on the computer, turned to Girl A's email address, and asked her to send someone to print it out and forward it to Chris Lee.

Also reminded not to use email.

After all, such things are not suitable for leaving evidence.

After getting this done, Simon continued to be busy until the Boeing 767 landed at London Heathrow Airport, which was around 9 pm on April 10th.

It was already late at night when I arrived at the mansion on Kensington Garden Street in downtown London.

As soon as Simon entered the door, a small figure rushed over first, smiled and bent down and opened his arms to catch it. The girl, who was over five years old, pressed her hands and feet on Simon like a little koala, called "Dad", and then put her little head on Simon's shoulder, and there was no movement in a blink of an eye.

Obviously he was asleep.

Yulia Shulhikina walked forward with three women, Ivana Antonenko and Natalia Banshikova. Seeing the woman Nina being held in her arms by a man, she looked quite considerate and doting, Shulhikina couldn't help feeling a little warm, but she reached out and said, "Sir, let me do it."

Simon shook his head: "No, where is the bedroom? I'll send the little guy up there."

As he said this, Simon couldn't help but think of six women who were pregnant at the same time.

It has been confirmed that it is all boys.

Six boys.

Simon was under a lot of pressure and didn't even have a small cotton jacket.

Although I don’t meet many times on weekdays, this can also give Simon the feeling of a small cotton jacket.

When Shulhikina heard Simon say this, she quickly led the way forward. Ivana Antoineko subconsciously wanted to keep up, but she regretted it. She did not let her daughter Vera wait together. If the man could be so pampered, her status would be much higher. However, Natalia Banshikova did not follow up and join in the fun, but met with Girl A and Carmen Cath, and helped arrange the luggage and accommodation of Simon's entourage.

When he arrived at a bedroom upstairs, Simon was about to put the sleeping little guy on the bed, but Nina woke up immediately and wrapped herself in Simon again to hug her.

Simon had to hold her for a while, waited for the little girl to sleep again, tried again, and woke up again.

Shulhikina had to step forward and whisper: "Baby, dad needs to rest, and you can see it tomorrow, so don't bother people."

The little guy also wrapped his hands and feet around Simon, and heard this, "Then, my dad, and my mom, sleep together."

Shulhikina's face turned slightly red and shook her head immediately: "No."

"Why?"
