After the two-day trip to Silicon Valley ends, when he returns to Los Angeles, Simon is the first to focus on the movie.

Entering March, several films for the Valentine's Day schedule in February have basically settled, two works with over 100 million yuan, Jennifer Aniston starring the new version of "I'm Mad for Mary" and Meg Ryan starring the complete butterfly new film "Hug Dawn", one with 110 million yuan, one with 130 million yuan, and a 70 million-level Shangger Yundon starring the B-level action film "Back-up", three movies, and temporarily receive votes in the 2000 box office list.

The past has passed, after all, it is helpless, and more people still look forward.

In addition to the upcoming Oscars at the end of the month, the most exciting news exposed by the Hollywood movie circle in March is the official launch of the Marvel Cinema Universe Project.

The first-hand news was exposed by the Igret portal, after all, it is its own platform.

The exact time is March 7, and Daenerys Entertainment officially established the Marvel Cinema Universe preparation group, which is affiliated with Marvel Entertainment, taking into account both Marvel Studios and Marvel TV. In other words, the Marvel Cinema Universe may also be connected through TV series.

At the same time, through Igret's press release, the Marvel Cinema Universe Preparation Team also publicly recruited soldiers from the industry.

People who are a little familiar with recruiting soldiers and horses understand that there is still more tendency to hype and make the trend. However, in just a few days after the news was released, the email address released online still received millions of emails, a large part of which were hoping to do an errand in this Marvel plan, even if you serve tea and water, it can be seen that Marvel's wide influence is no less than DC.

The outside world is lively, but the planning of the Marvel Cinema Universe is orderly.

In terms of main creators, Simon started making a move very early.

For example, Jon Favreau, Robert Downey Jr., Black Widow's candidate this time, a series of comics that were planned to be relocated for the entire Marvel Cinema Universe in advance, etc., including Kevin Feige, who was once the backbone of the Marvel Cinema Universe, this year's 27-year-old Kevin Feige, has been quietly taken over by Simon under Daenerys's command.

What's more, this time it was just a publicity campaign, which gave countless comic fans who have been looking forward to Marvel superhero movies for a long time, and this time it's true!

However, the first film will definitely be released after the two "Justice League" are completed.

Not only that, even for the entire family's interests, this time, just like the DC movie universe that has been continuously extended by Simon, Simon also hopes to be slower for the Marvel movie universe and not too dense to affect the diversity of Hollywood movies.

After all, if only superhero movies are left in Hollywood, it seems prosperous, and it is inevitable that the fire will be cooked, not far from decline.

The end of March is coming soon after the noise caused by the Marvel Cinematic Universe project.

Daenerys Cinema.

March 24th is coming in a blink of an eye.

Friday.

Sunday will be the day when the 72nd Oscar will be officially held.

There is almost no suspense about "Chicago", which has recently exceeded US$240 million in local box office. Whether it is box office or reputation, or even the themes and musical films of the film itself, this is one of the most beautiful memories of the Golden Age of the Oscar mainstream old white men. Coupled with Daenerys Entertainment's strong public relations and the expectations of no competitors at all during the same period, so even though Daenerys has been too strong for several consecutive years, this time, it still cannot escape.

Exclusive is exclusive. Even if Oscar wants to balance, it is impossible to go against the trend.

What's more, both Hollywood and the majority of movie fans have gradually become accustomed to the strength of Daenerys Entertainment, just like the golden age of Hollywood, and the Oscars are also MGM.

Now, Hollywood is Daenerys, Oscars, and Daenerys.

Very normal!

Malibu, Daenerys Cinema.

Simon still has a busy schedule based on minutes. In the same small conference room, starting from 1:00 in the afternoon, there are more than a dozen consecutive meetings, including several remote video conferences, including movies, television, technology, politics, etc.

This was until after six o'clock in the evening, the last production meeting.

Regarding the latest sequel to the "Alien" series, this is the sixth part. It was once called "Prometheus". Simon has always tended to have a certain consistency, so he added a prefix, "Alien: Prometheus". The conference included Simon, a total of five people, including producer David Giller, director Ridley Scott, and two screenwriters.

This time we discuss the script.

Simon follows the story framework given by Prometheus in 2012 in memory, but there are so many things to improve the original story.

For example, the too long opening, the engineer aliens took black water and created humans after their bodies were ruptured. This plot can be retained as a wedge, but the plot of several protagonists such as Elizabeth, played by Laumi Lapes, who explored ancient human ruins and searched for traces of aliens, can be completely ignored. It is only in the main film that the background introductions such as some pictures are connected. The specific details can also be added in the future.

There is also Meredith, who once played by Charlize Theron, who has a very aura. It makes people think at first glance that this is either the hero who saved the team at a critical moment or the ultimate villain of the film. However, the result is that he is quite crushed to death by an alien spacecraft and dies...

There is also the father of Meredith, who pursues immortality, who was jokingly slapped to death by an alien, and he did not support the plot that the character should have.

At first glance, ordinary audiences may just feel awkward, but in Simon's view, the script of "Prometheus" should have been properly arranged for both Meredith and his daughter. However, the movie has always meant too many changes, either insufficient budget, insufficient creative skills, or in order to reduce the duration, in short, the final result is some plots that make people feel very awkward.

In the brand new script, Simon made a great adjustment and directly combined the two female stars, the former South African Diamond and Dragon Tattoo Girl.

With the support of her father, Meredith led the team to discover alien relics on Earth, so she went further and set out to explore alien civilizations. But what she didn't know was that her father's attempt to pursue immortality. Before reaching the final goal, the team received a special signal and landed on another planet where the Engineer Clan's spacecraft crashed in advance.

The story unfolds.

In the end, Meredith's father, who was pursuing immortality, was misled by the surviving aliens and drank black water and transformed into the ultimate alien villain. Meredith led the team to fight against the villain, and finally seemed to have won. Before hibernation, he suddenly realized that there was another game behind all this, David, who had always been respectful and obedient in the biochemical man.

But it's too late.

With such changes, some seemingly redundant branch plots in the past are directly closed, and the deletion of branches can also give the action thriller tone of this series more room to play with the main action thriller. In the end, David's blackening, as before, also planted the seeds for a further sequel.

Not only that, the reason why the engineers created humans, why they destroyed humans, and the common plots of father-killing in Western classical stories can give the audience a space to interpret. No matter what the interpretation is, compared with the simple horror thriller of the "Alien" series, it can inject some connotation into this IP and enhance the style. This is also the goal Simon had to pursue from the beginning.

I was busy until seven o'clock and returned to Dumei Point Manor. Today there were guests.

Chen Qing brought Xiao Buer to North America together, having dinner together in the evening and staying here on weekends.

In fact, it is not just Chen Qing, but several Chinese creators from the "Mount Everest" team also rushed over today to attend Sunday's Oscars.

However, the global box office was as high as US$243 million, which basically confirmed the Oscar Best Documentary Feature Award for "Mount Everest". Therefore, not only did Mr. Zhang, who was a producer, take the time to shoot the "Chu and Han" trilogy in his busy schedule, but even Mr. Wang, who participated in the role, came to join in this fun.

In addition, as an interlude of "Mount Everest", together with "Those Flowers" which rebooted the Victoria's Secret show last year, "Life Like Summer Flowers", one of the most popular Chinese songs in the West, this time I received an invitation from the Oscar for live performance. Of course, it was the result of the production team's slightly operational operation, but the Oscar Organizing Committee was able to agree, which also shows the affirmation of this documentary.

Therefore, although winning the award with a documentary feels a bit strange and not purely made in China, there are still a lot of preparations on the other side of the ocean this time.

Beside the glass curtain wall of the Shell Villa, before dinner, Chen Qing, who was intimately holding the little girl in his arms, said roughly about this matter, and mentioned a series of projects being prepared in China.

First of all, the "Chu and Han" trilogy.

The project started three consecutive films last year, and half a year has passed. Although there are some twists and turns, such as the crew's two consecutive accidents when the crew hedged the scenes with grand scenes, everything went smoothly overall.

Chen Qing also mentioned Master Zhang. Because of this series, Master Zhang has lost more than ten kilograms in the past six months, and he looks more like an old farmer in the northwest.

This time, when he came to North America to attend the Oscars, Mr. Zhang planned to come back on Sunday, but was persuaded by all parties, just as he relaxed a little and came to Friday in advance. Otherwise, many people would be a little worried about whether the other party's body could last until the project was filmed.

Next is the major projects that the Jinshu Department is preparing. The first one is that "My Motherland and Me" has started filming and is expected to be released at the end of the year. However, this one is more inclined to try the waters at one time, and the core is still the other three, "Painted Skin", "Detective Chinatown" and "Detective Di Renjie's God Capital Dragon King".

The earliest filming of "Detective Chinatown" is expected to start. The script has been basically completed and has entered the casting and fascinating stage.

The other two, because they are costume dramas and also involve special effects, will take longer to prepare and the shooting time will be uncertain.

In addition to these blockbusters, there is also the new documentary project "Yalung Zangbo Grand Canyon" which followed "Mount Everest". The project is also in the preparation stage. The big fairy vase Jiang Mi around Simon and other members who are expected to participate in the shooting have recently begun to train for this project. In addition, the team also invited a professional geological exploration team to enter the canyon and set a pre-stop for the filming of the documentary.

After all, this documentary is a show, and it is not just a blind eye to break in.

After talking about what is being prepared, then Zhou Xingxing's "Kung Fu".

The project has been steadily advancing in the later stages. Simon paid attention to it personally, so there is no need to say much. Anyway, it will definitely not delay the release of this summer. Moreover, in China, considering the summer vacation time, it will be a little earlier. The reason why North America is placed in the late summer season is to avoid the competition among mainstream Hollywood blockbusters.

Finally, we also talked about the New Year holiday that has already ended in China.

"Does the boss still remember that "Ruyi"?" Chen Qing mentioned, saw her boss nodding, and continued: "It will be released on January 28th and will be postponed for a month. It happens to be the next few days. The boss guesses how much will the final box office be?"

While talking, a little guy had already turned from Chen Qing to Simon's arms.

The little girl, who was less than five months old, refused to accept her birth. She sat on her father's legs who had never seen her many times since she was born. Her beautiful eyes also took the initiative to look up at someone holding her. Although she obviously showed a tendency to return to her mother's arms, Simon refused to let go, but she did not cry or make a fuss.

Teased the little guy in his arms, Simon said casually: "260 million?"

Chen Qing paused and said, "Do you know, Lao Bian?"

"yes."

Simon has always been paying attention to China, not to mention this unexpectedly super popular New Year film. These days, Simon has taken the time to watch both sides.

I have to say that the biggest reason for the success of the film, in Simon's opinion, is that it is a truly outstanding film with a very complete and dramatic story, such as the main plot conflicts in it, and the male and female protagonists are called "Ruyi".

On this basis, the participation of Zhao Heitu and Mr. Feng is the icing on the cake.

Seeing that his boss nodded, Chen Qing probably understood and didn't say anything more. She just said, "Anyway, Zhongying has been very happy during this period, and we are also happy. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief."

Chen Qing had a smile in her tone, and Simon certainly understood it too.

The biological child is still the eldest son. If the parents are not successful enough, they may complain, but more likely, they will still take their anger.
Chapter completed!
