Simon was surrounded by Christina Aguilera, who chatted with Jeter Lee and other main creators of "Hurricane Rescue 2", and finally nodded to Jiang Anqi, who was looking forward to the expectant people, and turned around and walked away temporarily.

Amy Pascal continued to follow Simon, a little further away from the crew, and took the initiative to say: "Local 110 million. According to current overseas data, the global box office of this sequel is about 250 million US dollars. After deducting costs, the theater chain is expected to make a profit of 50 million US dollars. We have discussed the idea of ​​the third part with Lee's agent, and the global box office gross profit share of 15 million yuan was offered. According to the profit level of this part, it is equivalent to 20 million yuan in pay. I think it is acceptable. Of course, if you continue to negotiate, you should be able to suppress the share, or even cut it directly."

As he said that, Simon took a glass of champagne, stroked the girl's waist with one hand, and when Amy finished speaking, he shook his head and said, "Stop the sequels, look at this summer. There are too many sequels. Maybe the sequels will be more stable, but what is hurt is the creativity and diversity of the entire Hollywood. I hope Daenerys will be as inclined as original as possible in the next few years."

Amy remembered that Simon had mentioned the '2' series of summer quips and words before, and understood that her boss's thoughts and knew that since Bo SS said so, she would not change it easily. She nodded and continued: "Simon, if this is the case, the two sequels of "The Matrix" will start filming next month, and the "Godzilla" sequel project that we have negotiated with Japan Toho. What should we do about these?"

"The Matrix series goes as planned," Simon said: "Dragging Godzilla 2 is a bit of a play, and there is no script anyway, so slowly develop it."

"The problem is..." Amy said again: "We also obtained the game development license for Godzilla this time. You should have seen the file. If the game can be released with the sequel movie, it will definitely be able to gain each other?"

Simon recalled the latest agreement document reached by Daenerys and Japan's Toho that he had seen in recent days.

After the success of the first song, both sides hoped to gain more initiative and gain more benefits. After a year of dispute, the conditions for the film cooperation remained basically the same, and only the sequel films must have certain Japanese elements, which is irrelevant.

Another thing is related to the game.

In recent years, the game business has become more and more the main revenue growth point of Daenerys. Coupled with the good expectations of the capital market for the future of the global game industry, Daenerys' current super high market value has to a considerable extent supported.

Therefore, since the "Godzilla" movie was successful, Daenerys certainly would not miss the possibility of developing a game with the flow.

After negotiations, Daenerys and Toho Japan agreed that three Godzilla-related video games could be developed in the next five years. The theme was decided by Daenerys, who paid Japan Toho Japan $5 million plus 10% sales share licensing fee for each game.

In addition, Daenerys does not exclusively possess the right to develop the game. Dongbao also has the right to develop it on its own or authorize other companies to develop it, but the condition is that there will be at most three models in the next five years. This part is obviously a small idea that the Japanese do not want all the fat water to flow to outsiders.

After all, Godzilla's IP is too big. In order to avoid exclusiveness, Dongbao gave a high authorization conditions, so there was no force here.

Recalling briefly, Simon said: "Games and movies should be done at their own pace. There is no need to bind too deliberately, otherwise it will often have a counterproductive effect. And, hehe... it seems that it is not easy to develop Godzilla games."

Such a big mutant monster, whether it is role-playing or fighting, is difficult to deal with.

When Amy heard Simon say this, she immediately remembered the "Resident Evil" series of movies and games that were very successful in bonding with each other last year. However, of course, she did not forget the "Alien ET" game, which was counterexample in her early years, and even became the fuse of Atari's great collapse. In short, it can only be said that there is indeed no necessary correlation between the successes between the movies and the game.

I can only agree again.

After chatting for a few more words, Simon took Christina to the others, but Amy did not follow him anymore.

Christina is 20 years old this year and still looks like a loli. Her 156 cm tall has not changed for several years, like a doll. As a female companion, she has given Simon aside, and the guests at the party are used to it, and many female guests want to replace her.

After following the man obediently for a long time, he found the gap. The girl finally asked: "Simon, you just told Ms. Pascal that I mean, is the development of "Singing and Dance 3" also going to be suspended?"

Simon took the girl beside him to leave the open-air party scene, walked into the manor villa, nodded and said, "Yes."

Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon came towards him. Before Christina could say anything, Simon paused and exchanged simple greetings with the two eagerly approached. He remembered something and asked Tim Robbins: "Tim, Ella tells me, you are not interested in the script of "Shawshank Redemption". Can I hear your thoughts?"

"The Shawshank Redemption", which was quietly suppressed by Simon for a long time, was officially launched this year and was produced by Daenerys' Gaomen Pictures label. It has been hidden before, and it is inevitably affected by the box office defeat when the film was released. However, now, Simon no longer cares so much.

Robbins and Sarandon didn't expect Simon to mention this matter and looked at each other. Tim Robbins said: "Simon, I happened to take on a new film, and the schedules were somewhat conflicting. Moreover, I read Kim's original work specifically and felt that I did not fit Andy's image. In the novel Andy is a small man, and I..."

As he said that, he spread his hands slightly.

Tim Robbins is 197 cm tall, nearly two meters tall and very different from Andy's five-short figure in the novel. Stephen King's setting is also for the protagonist to climb through the cramped sewer pipes.

However, these are certainly not problems.

Simon was about to say something, Susan Sarandon next to Robbins was keenly aware of something and asked, "Simon, do you think, I mean... it's you, I hope Tim will take this film?"

When the two sides contacted each other, Gaomen Pictures did not disclose too much, which was taken for granted. After all, with Simon's reputation in Hollywood, who he chose to participate in a project often means two things. One is that Westeros is very optimistic about the movie, and the other is that the person selected is also favored by Simon.

No matter which one, it will make the whole of Hollywood look at it.

Of course, Daenerys usually doesn’t mention it on his own initiative, and the reason is very simple. Perhaps there are many smart people who don’t want anything to seize similar opportunities, but on the other hand, it may also make less smart people choose to start prices.

When Tim Robbins heard his girlfriend say this, he immediately reacted, and wanted to speak but stopped for a moment, looking at Simon earnestly, waiting for an answer.

You know, it is because of height. Although his acting skills are excellent and he has won many awards, Tim Robbins has never been lukewarm over the years. Now, if this is an opportunity...well, but it seems... I quickly recalled the novel "The Shawshank Redemption" I have read. After a sensible return, Robbins felt that this project is not mainstream after all, after all, after all,

Going to the Olympics?

It's not very similar.

Seeing the two of them reacted, Simon nodded, but said, "However, I just think Tim, you are very suitable for the character Andy. It has nothing to do with height, but temperament. In addition, you must also understand that this is not a mainstream commercial movie. I don't guarantee it will succeed, I just like this story."

After Simon finished speaking, the two of them looked at each other again. Tim Robbins quickly made a decision and looked over and said, "Simon, the problem is that the film I signed with Warner will start filming in August, and will be at least three months. If you want to participate in "The Shawshank Redemption", you will have to wait until next year?"

Simon smiled and said, "As long as you are willing to participate in the show, schedule is not a problem."

"So," Tim Robbins finally weighed the trade-offs and quickly made a decision, nodding, "I'm willing to try it."

Simon reached out and shook with the other party, which was finalized: "You can talk to Ella and the others."

Filming will start at the beginning of next year and will be released at the end of the year, and will be held in the 2002 awards season.

As for the film that will become the remains of the sea as before, or whether it will reach the peak of the Oscar under Daenerys' operation, Simon will also go with the flow. In any case, the Oscars cannot be exclusive to Daenerys's family. For "The Shawshank Redemption", a classic that can be recorded in film history, can be made.

Then I thought that the possibility of leaving the beads again is very high.

Because at the end of next year, the completion of "The Lord of the Rings" will be released, and a more heavyweight film classic, coupled with commercial considerations, will almost certainly crush "The Shawshank Redemption".

no way.

After saying goodbye, Simon continued to socialize with other guests in the villa, and went all the way to a terrace on the second floor of the villa.

It just so happened that several other young actors from "Singing and Dance 2" were here. Seeing Simon appear with Christina, they all stood up. After a while of greeting, it was probably a bit stressful to get along with this super tycoon. Even if they knew it would be better to stay, they still couldn't help but walk out together and give up their position.

After several people left, Simon took the girl beside him to sit down on the sofa next to the railing.

Christina, who was climbing sideways beside the man like a kitten, looked at the party scene downstairs with Simon, while asking curiously: "Simon, what kind of movie is the Shawshank Redemption just now?"

"Tell the story of a man breaking out of prison. If you are interested, you can buy a novel and read it."

Christina was no longer interested after hearing the man's words. She was so bored. She still lit her head on the surface and planned to ask her assistant to buy a book later, but after all, she agreed to the man.

Then he turned to the "Singing and Dance Youth" series that he cared more about.

After acting cute, the man's decision to delay the development of the third part was not shaken at all, and he just tactfully stopped entangling.

As he was talking, Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith walked over hand in hand. Simon did not get up, but smiled and signaled to the empty seat next to him, and greeted, "How are you doing recently?"

"Not bad," Don Johnson responded with a smile, not close to each other, but sat down on the sofa on the right side of Simon and looked for the topic: "Simon, you just came back from Asia, right?"

"Yes, but I've been back for a week."

Melanie Griffith sat next to her husband, leaned forward slightly and said, "We saw your report in Korea, the internal disputes of a large consortium, and you immediately resolved them after you came forward. It's amazing."

Simon just smiled.

Simon originally wanted to keep a low profile in the South Korean affairs, but the control there was very good, and there was really no news. Unexpectedly, North America accidentally started to hype it up.

First, the Wall Street Journal wrote an article about the crisis of Hyundai Group. It seemed to randomly mention that Simon played a role in it, and then other media seized the opportunity. The news spread rapidly, and news such as China's stock market index breaking through new highs due to Simon was also brought up. This period of time has been considered a global explosion.

Simon had no choice but to do anything about this. His goal was too big. It was basically impossible to pursue a state of "existence but invisible".

Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith realized that Simon was obviously interested in this topic and immediately turned to Dakota Johnson, his daughter who had been publicly accused of being a "goddaughter" and said that the little girl had always missed Simon very much.

As we chatted here, we found that Simon was no longer walking, and other guests began to gather one after another. After a while, the sofa was full of seats on the terrace, and some people could only stand or lean around.

Simon also changed from Christina to hugging left and right, all of whom were little girls. On one side were sisters Vanessa and Scarlett Johnston, on the other side were sisters Hilton who happened to come to Los Angeles to participate in a program recording. In addition, Christina and the other one, Sarah Michelle Gellar, were squeezed seven people on a row of sofas. Christina could only sit on Simon's legs, but the girl obviously looked very proud.

Others such as "Wonder Woman" Famick Jensen or Meg Ryan, who became popular again with Easter's romance film "Hug Dawn", etc., are either embarrassed to compete for seats with a group of girls, or they are too late to grab them.

The benefits of Simon never bringing his character to the top are once again revealed. Everyone at the scene took it for granted when he hugged him, after all, everyone knew that Simon Westeros was a playboy.

Simon chatted with everyone, and accidentally looked around him, and suddenly found that besides Vanessa, who was six feet tall, there were even three sisters Cathy Hilton who could only stand and watch her daughter snuggled by Westeros. Well... Maybe she could also have a theme tonight, Petite or something.
