Daenerys Cinema, Los Angeles.

This is Sunday afternoon on January 23, and the evening is the Golden Globes ceremony. Simon is still dealing with the work accumulated recently here today.

The afternoon first was a production conference about a fairy tale book changing a live-action project called "Grinch Steals Christmas".

That's right, it's the Grudge.

In history, "Grinch" was the local box office champion in the United States in 2000. It starred Jim Carrey and won $260 million in local box office that year. However, even compared with the box office runner-up of "The Rest of the Island", the film has a low popularity around the world, mainly because of the regional nature, and is just a festive popcorn.

The reason why we were able to win the New Year's Championship with US$260 million undoubtedly shows that 2000 was a box office young New Year.

For the millennium, it should have been a big year in theory, but it is interesting to say.

The original comic book was published in 1966. However, the original author Dr. Seus refused to film and television the story until the other party died a few years ago.

After several contacts with Daenerys, Dr. Seus's family gave very positive feedback. After all, "Grinch Steals Christmas" is not the top IP. Before winning the annual box office championship, almost no one had much expectations for this project.

So it's easy to get it.

The script has been completed and the director has also confirmed that the former original director, Long Howard, mainly discussed the actor's issue in the afternoon.

It is undoubtedly the safest to continue to refer to the original version completely, but because of the original conflict, even if Simon did not kill Jim Carrey, he had already put the opponent on the blacklist and would definitely not use the opponent.

The candidate for the preliminary discussion is Ben Stiller.

"Hangover 2" has been completed, and the schedule is this summer. Ben Stiller happens to be in the vacant period. Moreover, compared with Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller's funny temperament, even his image is very suitable for the role of Grinch.

Moreover, this will not be a series, and there is no need to consider long-term issues. After all, there is already a "Hangover", and Simon doesn't want to praise Stiller too much, so the subsequent "Museum Wonderful Night" will not be used.

As long as the film is in a recent interview with Ben Stiller, the project will start shooting after Easter, because the main use of old-fashioned model effects will not be too long, and the schedule will be initially positioned at the end of the year. The Thanksgiving or Christmas time will be determined according to the specific production rhythm.

Then it's just watching a movie once.

Next month, a comedy for Valentine's Day schedule, "I'm Crazy for Mary" led by Lena Kane and Annika Settle.

Compared with the past, not only the schedule, except for the director and screenwriter, but also the Farey brothers, the other major actors and creators have changed. At first, Lina and the other two considered inviting Adam Sandler. It was too expensive and they didn't talk about it. Finally, they decided to use the American sweet girl Jennifer Aniston in "Friends" as the core. Several male stars are mainly selected from "Saturday Night Live". In the film industry, they are basically the kind of novice.

Therefore, the new version of "I'm Crazy for Mary" only took a budget of 16 million US dollars, and this number also showed the meticulousness of the two girls.

As for the film, Simon personally feels that it is not worse than before. Simon is not sure whether the audience will buy it next. However, as the saying goes, Daenerys Entertainment currently has enough fault tolerance, and it doesn’t matter if it fails a few projects.

The video schedule has been confirmed to be February 11th, less than 3 weeks away, so it is impossible to modify it. Simon has also seen some sample films in advance. At this time, the ratings and trailer have been released, and there is no room for modification. Everything is only seen at the time of market feedback.

After watching this project, I also paid attention to the "Spartan 300 Warriors" which was directed by Zach Schneider, who was represented by Lena Kane after "Resident Evil". The film was filmed in the second half of last year and is currently in the later stages, and the schedule has been determined to be this year's summer schedule.

Compared to the short film "I'm Crazy for Mary", the two girls obviously attach more importance to "Spartan 300 Warriors". After all, this budget reached 60 million US dollars, which is also a bombshell level. Simon also gave the popular summer schedule. If they can't get good results, unlike "I'm Crazy for Mary", they can only continue to be in the budget field in the future. Even Lina knew that her future Hollywood plans might be affected.

Before I knew it, I was busy until after 7 o'clock in the evening.

On the other hand, the Golden Globe Awards ceremony officially began at 6 pm.

After finishing the day's work, Simon took the two girls directly to the mountainside mansion in nearby Palisade. Tonight's Golden Globes after party for Daenerys Entertainment was still held here.

Some guests who did not attend the award ceremony arrived in advance. After greeting guests, Simon, Jonathan Friedman, Robert De Niro and other guests, they were entangled by a little fairy, which was Scarlett Johnson. It was mainly Vanessa Johnson, the heroine of "The Genius Ripley" tonight, attended the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony. The little fairy did not have this honor, but could come here.

So they took three women of all sizes to a restaurant upstairs, and watched the award ceremony on the TV screen while dining.

After the waitresses delivered dinner, they just picked up the tableware and happened to announce the best actor in the TV drama drama, or the two most popular candidates, one is James Gandoffini from "The Soprano", and the other is Kevin Spacey from "House of Cards", both of which are from the current DHO, who is becoming more and more popular.

In the end, Kevin Spacey was slightly better.

"Look at it like this," said Lina, like Simon, asked for a bottle of mineral water, took a sip, and said: "Next, House of Cards should be the best drama series in this time."

"Absolutely, I like this TV series so much," Annika answered, and looked at a man next to her: "Simon, it is said that this is also the creativity you provide, is it true?"

Simon just nodded slightly.

"Actually, I'm thinking," Lina also glanced at her: "Simon, do you think Annie and I can do TV series too?"

Simon said: "As long as you get enough creativity, I'm fine. But if it's not good enough, I won't give you the green light."

Scarlett Johnson, next to him, interrupted innocently: "Simon, isn't Lena an agent? The agent seems to be unable to participate in the production of film and television dramas. This is illegal, right?"

Simon smiled and nodded again: "Yes."

The girl looked at the other two girls, not nervous at all, and was still having dinner on her own. She felt a small punch hit the empty space, so she could only change the topic and said directly: "Simon, can I stay tonight?"

Simon was very interested: "What should I do if I stay?"

The girl was not shy at all and said boldly: "I will do whatever you ask me to do."

Simon glanced at the precocious bulge on the girl's chest, and found that this girl deliberately wore a beige cotton long skirt with a very young girl or even a little loli today, but her small waist was tied up, which was a little tempting.

Seeing the man, the girl immediately straightened her waist, which made Lina next to her chuckle.

A girl was too destructive to the atmosphere, and Scarlett immediately glared at me angrily: "Why are you laughing at?"

Lina was still dressed up when she was working during the day, but she took off her windbreaker indoors and wore a turtleneck black wool sweater. When she saw the girl ask, Lina didn't answer, but she just stood up with a curved upper body that was much hotter than the girl. On the other side, Annika, who was similar to the outfit, made her playful and followed the same approach, which made the little girl both envious and aggrieved, and could only look at Simon.

Simon smiled and saw the girl looking over, comforting her, "You are still young, don't worry."

Scarlett could only be depressed.

The awards ceremony on TV screen continues.

As expected, "House of Cards" finally won the Best TV Drama Award.

Hollywood does not like politics, but if there is a project that can uncover various political hypocrisy and will not cause too much criticism from the Washington authorities, it will definitely not be stingy to give enough praise.

From the perspective of interests, to put it bluntly, Hollywood also seeks profit and avoids harm.

Then, most of the second half of the award is a major film nomination.

Nothing unexpected either.

Or, what surprised Simon a little was a double yolk egg this time. The two heroines of "Chicago", Katherine Zeta-Jones and Madonna, won the Best Actress Award for Music Comedy, and the seven nominations for "Chicago" eventually won five major awards including Best Picture and Best Director in Music Comedy, becoming the most popular film in the movie tonight.

In comparison, Daenerys won the best film nominations for the two drama series "Genius Ripley" and "The Matrix", and the awards finally fell on an original film that had never been before. It was produced by Paramount and was released in September last year, with a box office of more than 20 million yuan.

Obviously, the tendency to score pork in the Golden Globe Award is too obvious.

But Simon can understand it too.

If you don’t distinguish pork, but judge the quality of the movie completely fairly, most awards will be taken away by the Daenerys family. Over time, only the Daenerys family will be left. Will others still play with you?

No more.

At that time, the awards became Daenerys Entertainment's self-entertainment, and the Golden Globe Awards no longer have the necessity to exist.
