Chapter 1136 The right time and place

The day after the Westeros' sixth child was born, Janet also arrived in Boston.

Having had several contacts in advance, Ulyana Meretskova was obviously a little nervous when facing Janet.

Uriyana discovered early on that she was somewhat at ease with her beautiful and intelligent opposite sex advantage in front of Simon Westeros. However, although Janet Westeros seemed to speak better on the surface, she instinctively realized that once she touched some red lines that she shouldn't touch, the result would be very serious in this woman.

Therefore, since the first meeting, I have never had any intention of stealing men.

After all, the child was just born, and Simon planned to stay for a few more days. Seeing Uriyana being careful in front of Janet, she almost couldn't get any breasts, so she had to leave early on Friday and drove Janet back to Los Angeles first, and went to New York by herself.

Or visit other pregnant women.

Simon is on the East Coast these days, on Wednesday, May 21, Daenerys Entertainment's first blockbuster movie "Face Change" in the summer season of 1997 was premiered in Los Angeles.

The director of the new version of "Face Change" is still John Wu, and the two male protagonists have changed from the original John Travolta and Nicholas Cage to the combination of John Travolta Gabrad Pitt.

Needless to say, Travolta has been widely known worldwide for its role as "Superman". This time, it was the first bombshell to be starred in the Superman after the "Superman Death" of the Superman War. Its popularity is far more than that of Cage. As the release date of "Face Change" approaches, a large number of fans of Superman or Pitt on the Internet are discussing watching this video as soon as possible.

The former "Face Change" was before "Mission Impossible 2", and this time after "Mission Impossible 2", Wu Baige's popularity was at its peak.

Therefore, the overall popularity of this project is far greater than that of the past.

On the other hand, compared with the original "Face Change", the budget of the new version of the film still reaches US$100 million under the premise that the two male protagonists are not too high.

Mainly for large scenes and special effects.

Although "Face Change" was well received, its global box office was only more than 200 million, and its production budget of $90 million can only be considered as just recovering its capital.

The reason is that this film is still a traditional Hollywood old-fashioned action movie routine.

This time, Simon specially upgraded the action scenes, basically following the specifications of the Mission: Impossible series, instead of the original punches and kicks and small fights. Especially at the end of the film, the showdown between the two protagonists adopted the routine of explosive shells. When the filming was first shot, a waste tanker of 10,000 tons was blown up.

After Wednesday's premiere, the word-of-mouth was lifted the next day, and the comprehensive media score reached a classic level of 9.2 points, setting a new high in the film directed by John Wu Hollywood.

Obviously to avoid "Face Change", there was only a $30 million budget medium-cost romance film "Crazy For You" starring Meg Ryan, which was released during the same period this week, and it could not pose a threat to "Face Change". In addition, Daenerys Entertainment's strong promotion and a large-scale 3,543-piece screen size, which is good for the right time, place, and people, and everything is available.

It was officially released, and the box office of the new version of "Face Change" did not disappoint Daenerys Entertainment.

On the first day of the release, including the midnight show, the film successfully won a box office of US$17.62 million. Such a start is conservatively estimated to reach more than US$70 million in the first week, which is comparable to the same period data of "Mission Impossible 2" last year.

Cannes, France.

Time comes Sunday, May 25th.

The 50th Cannes Film Festival officially concluded.

Regarding the ownership of this award, according to the news that Daenerys Entertainment team privately found out, it is very exciting.

This year's Cannes jury chairman Isabel Adjani is a well-known actress with a personality. This time, he abandoned the two previous rules of Cannes during the awards rating stage, either voting or confiscating excellent films to discuss the ownership, but instead discussing movies one by one.

Almost overturned by Italian left-wing director Nanni Moletti.

Under the instigation of Nanni Moletti, Ajani even voluntarily gave up the privileges she deserved as the chairman of the jury and advocated equality for everyone.

The result can be imagined.

You should know how great the privileges of the Cannes jury are, you can see it by thinking about "Fahrenheit 911" in the original time and space.

Quentin, who was the chairman of the jury at that time, directly pushed the documentary to the position of the Palme d'Or in Cannes, and thus made the low-cost documentary with an investment of $6 million sold at a box office of $220 million worldwide, making an explosive profit.

Ajani's various tricks led to Nanni Morletti almost succeeding, pushing the Iranian film "The Taste of Cherries" to the Palme d'Or.

In the end, Daenerys Entertainment's public relations team secretly intervened, allowing the judges who could speak here to get things right and wake up Ah Jiani to return to the traditional voting and award rules.

Seeing that his efforts were about to fail, Nanni Moletti lobbied Ajani again to set up a double yolk egg. Unfortunately, Daenerys Entertainment had already controlled the situation in advance, and Ajani also reacted and did not compromise.

Final vote.

Nannie Morletti's favorite "The Taste of Cherries" was eliminated directly, and she didn't get a single award. Ajani herself actually prefers the new Canadian director Igoyan, who was also bought the copyright by Daenerys Entertainment in private, also won nothing, and "The Six Heroes of Light Pig" won.

In addition, "The Soul-Edge Girl" also from Daenerys Entertainment revealed a double-yolk egg, and Mia Coschna and Angelina Jolie shared the Best Actress Award together.

It can be said that Daenerys Entertainment won another great victory in Cannes.

Although even Simon thinks that the double yolk eggs in "The Soul-Edit Girl" are a bit too much, history has always been a winner.

Even though Ajani made all kinds of complaints in an interview, Nanni Morletti was sarcastic, but it was impossible to turn anything around. After all, there is controversy in every Cannes. As for public relations, everyone is playing games within the rules. If they really want to expose it, everyone’s face is not good-looking.

On the other hand, after the Cannes premiere last Saturday, most of the main creators of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" have left, but Li Youhu and Teacher Yu stayed until the end.

Unfortunately, I was unable to enter the closing ceremony and I still visited everywhere.

As the film festival ended, the two women decided to find out that Daenerys Entertainment was the biggest winner. They thought they could see through the truth and complained in a little while, and they were inevitably proud.

After all, this involves a certain man.

Their men.

Now, everything has settled, and the two of them set off to return to China the next day. The next time they will not rush to the United States until the release of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in July to participate in the promotion of the film.

However, things were still a little unexpected.

This time another woman was arranged to return to China on their Gulfstream V, named Mira Sorvino.

After chatting, I learned that the actress was going to China to participate in a role in "Love Call Transfer".

This is...what a coincidence.

Because the two women also knew that among the Cannes judges, there happened to be one named Mira Sorvino, who was obviously the same person.

The Cannes Film Festival has just ended, and this woman is going to China. She is still participating in a project led by someone secretly. There is obviously a story behind it.

However, these two of them didn't have much to say about.

Departing on Monday afternoon on May 26, Gulfstream V arrived in China, on Tuesday morning.

The Westeros team came here to pick up the plane. What made the two women slightly balanced was that the very "breasted" Mira Sorvino was not with them. Although it seemed that he was also picked up by the Wei family's maid team, as long as he was not together, it would always be better.

When they returned to the courtyard of Maoer Hutong, the two of them discovered that Chen Qing was also there.

Of course, there are Zhu Momo and Mo Wuling who live here forever.

It’s pretty good to get along in private, Li Youhu knows that Zhu Momo has had a hard time recently.

It seems that the 96th performance class in the Central Academy of Drama was criticized by the whole school for its impetuousness in the first year. Zhu Momo, the auditor, was also involved. The head teacher of Class 96, called Zhu Momo, and Zhu Momo's mother. Then Zhu Momo's mother gave a strict order after teaching her daughter and sister a lesson. What will happen to the students in Class 96 and Zhu Momo's will do the same.

Not only professional courses, but also cultural courses.

Basically, he was transferred from an auditor to a regular student.

Zhu Momo was a poor student and was reluctant to deal with professional courses, and cultural courses were simply life-threatening. However, his mother's orders were irresistible. Recently, it can be said that he had made up for the lessons without any darkness or night.

It's a terrible sight.

According to the words of Zhu Momo when he met Li Youhu and Teacher Yu during dinner, he had a numb figure and had lost a few pounds recently.

This made Li Youhu completely cut off the idea of ​​going to the Central Academy of Drama or Beijing Film Academy to officially read a book.

Anyway, my career is on track now.

After resting for a night, early on Wednesday morning, Li Youhu rushed to the headquarters of Jinshu Media next to Beijing Normal University, and happened to be on the same journey with Chen Qing. Although Li Youhu was a little scared of Chen Qing because of some of the little words from Wei Canchao and the others. Seeing that the girl seemed to be in a bad mood today, she became even more nervous, but she couldn't say she couldn't go temporarily.

Fortunately, there was nothing to say along the way.

When she arrived at the company, Li Youhu went to find her agent Guan Yinan to discuss her role shooting arrangements in "Love Call Transfer", and asked about the recent gossips and so on.

Chen Qing met with Wu Shanlin and rushed to the radio and television together.

In an office of the Radio and Television Office near Fuxingmen, the two arrived and waited for more than ten minutes before they met a leader talking.

Bad news.

A document about the Hero project.

Everything went well some time ago, but unexpectedly, something happened suddenly and was rejected.

"Xiao Chen and Xiao Wu, everyone has studied several projects of Jinshu, and they are indeed very good, especially "Hero", which is very helpful for promoting Chinese culture. There is also Mr. Westeros. We are not going to bend this point. Opening up is a major trend. The Chinese film industry has reached the point where it is not possible to reform. In the near future, a few years later, the results are the same. In short, the above originally agreed, but some people are too conservative and even brought out some old comrades, thinking that our approach is inappropriate, and the result is that it is."

Chen Qing and Wu Shanlin sat behind the desk like elementary school students, without any resentment on their faces. After waiting patiently for the boss in front of them to finish speaking, Chen Qing said, "So, leader, what should we do about "Heroes", we have already started preparations. Do we need to pause?"

"Of course not, but the plan you were looking forward to at the beginning was definitely not OK to allow "Hero" to receive the same treatment as domestic films at the cost of giving up the mainland copyright."

Wu Shanlin, who was only 32 years old, was already the head of Jinshu, was somewhat uneasy: "Leader, what do you think we should do?"

This tone still contains some resentment.

Fortunately, the boss didn't mind and waved his hand and said, "You still have to submit the plan yourself. Let's consider it again. Of course, because the last proposal failed to pass, you can only complete this project within the existing rules."

After talking about this for more than ten minutes, Chen Qing and Wu Shanlin left the Radio and Television Office together.

On the way back to Jinshu headquarters, Wu Shanlin got into Chen Qing's car. However, in order to avoid danger, he just sat in the passenger seat and asked Chen Qing behind him: "What should we do now? "Hero" is planned to be launched in August, and it is not far away now?"

Chen Qing did not answer, signaled Wu Shanlin to silence, took out a satellite phone that was obviously different from an ordinary mobile phone, and skillfully dialed a string of numbers.

The phone was answered, and after a few words, it was only after a while that was transferred to Simon.

He briefly reported what happened just now and then said, "So, boss, what should I do now?"

During this conversation, Chen Qing deliberately used English. Although Wu Shanlin was also a top student, he was not good at foreign languages. After listening to a few words, he just turned around and sat down and waited for the result.

In the carriage.

Chen Qing kept discussing with the other side all the way until she returned to Jinshu headquarters and hung up the phone.

After getting off the car, the two entered the office building together. Several other senior executives from Jinshu and Mr. Zhang, who had just returned from the Gansu filming site, came up together.

Facing everyone's inquiring eyes, Chen Qing's expression was much better than before. She brought everyone to a conference room and said, "I have talked with the boss. This movie will be completely transformed into domestic."

Everyone was a little anxious when Chen Qing said this.

Does it mean that Daenerys Entertainment will not pay for money?

30 million US dollars, equivalent to 250 million, in China... who can afford this money?
Chapter completed!
