Daenerys Entertainment Headquarters.

Simon came outside his office. Six men and women were already waiting in the outside lounge. Among the four women and two men, three tall and beautiful girls were Simon's chosen candidates for Wonder Woman. The other three were obviously theirs.

broker.

Seeing Simon appear, a girl in the group took the lead in raising her hand to greet Simon: "Hi, Simon."

Simon came closer, looked at Helena Christensen, whom he hadn't seen for half a year, and said with a smile: "How are Cindy and the others doing lately?"

"Very good," Helena Christensen said, with some resentment in her eyes: "I thought you had completely forgotten us."

At Simon's 20th birthday party earlier this year, he happened to meet several supermodels in his memory, namely Cindy Crawford, Helena Christensen, Paulina Preskova and

Stephanie Seymour.

Simon remembered that he finally left contact information for several girls, but after all, the circles between the two parties were too far apart. After starting a series of attentive phone calls, Simon did not give a very positive response, and the women were very understanding.

I no longer contacted him frequently.

If it hadn't been for this incident, Simon would have had no intention of contacting them.

"Of course not, I have a very good memory."

Simon laughed and said hello to several other people.

In addition to Helena, the other two candidates for Wonder Woman are Famke Janssen and Erica Anderson.

Famke Janssen is the actress who played the first-generation Phoenix in the "X-Men" series in the original time and space, and also participated in the role of the villainous Bond girl in "007: GoldenEye".

Among the three candidates, Simon actually prefers Famke Janssen. She is comparable to Gal Gadot in many aspects. The aura of Phoenix in "X-Men" is even stronger than Gal Gadot.

·Gadot.

Famke Janssen is 23 years old and comes from a Dutch acting family.

Simon's planned "Wonder Woman" will start filming three years later and be released within five years. This is actually due to the conventional five-year copyright contract restrictions. Therefore, Famke Janssen's age is just right. Five years later

She is 28 years old. After several years of training and polishing, her appearance and aura will reach their peak.

Erica Anderson is also a beauty on a par with Helena and Famke, but she is less famous than the first two. In Simon's memory, Erica Anderson's most famous film should be ""

The erotic film "Wild Rose" starring Nicolas Cage.

Simon picked Erica Anderson based on a sports style tape submission.

Finally, Helena Christensen, what Simon likes is the healthy and wild temperament of a Nordic girl. However, she is actually the youngest among the three girls. She is just twenty years old this year. If she can get it,

Opportunity, 25 years old in five years will be just right.

Six people followed Simon into the office, and the room suddenly seemed a little crowded. The reception area had a sofa layout with one long and two single sofas, which could only seat five people. The other two agents moved chairs and sat next to them.

After everyone sat down, Simon looked at the three women crowded on the couch and said: "First of all, you'd better not reveal our conversation today. Anyone who can't keep his mouth shut will be out."

Prior to this, various agencies only submitted candidates based on the casting conditions given by Daenerys Entertainment. Although there have been speculations, there has been no definite news until now.

Hearing the seriousness in Simon's tone, the three women and their manager cheered up.

Simon said this, which obviously means that this opportunity is very rare. Three agents who pay close attention to the dynamics of the industry have basically made a judgment. After all, Daenerys Entertainment just announced that it has obtained the rights to Wonder Woman some time ago.

copyright.

However, after taking a few glances at their clients, the three agents had a somewhat regretful thought in their minds almost at the same time: they have no breasts.

You know, whether it is in the comics or Linda Carter, the most famous Wonder Woman actor in the 1970s, her breasts are definitely very good. However, the three women in front of me seem to have no advantage in this aspect.

.

Could it be that I guessed wrong?

Or maybe Simon Westeros just likes this type?

It is still difficult to understand the thoughts of big people.

Naturally, Simon also has the image of Linda Carter's Wonder Woman in his memory, but even without the reference of Gal Gadot, he is not at all interested in choosing the image of a big-breasted vase.

After everyone nodded to express their understanding, Simon continued: "You may have guessed it, yes, I am indeed choosing the actress to play Wonder Woman." Before the three girls could be happy, Simon immediately added: "However,

Daenerys Entertainment has no plans to start filming this movie in the near future. You need to wait until three years later. If we can reach an agreement today, Daenerys Entertainment will arrange some opportunities for you in the next three years to help you practice your acting skills. To be honest

Yes, you probably have no acting skills now."

Because they are all models above the standard, the three girls definitely have no shortage of camera skills. Many Hollywood actresses will work part-time as actors and models in the early stages of their careers. However, modeling quality and acting skills are completely different things.

Smiling cooperatively, the three girls were even more excited when they heard Simon's confirmation.

If they had a choice, between the two careers of being an actor and a model, they would definitely choose the latter without hesitation, and most girls in the industry would obviously do the same.

After all, models only eat the food of youth. Except for those few who become famous and become supermodels, most models tend to retire before the age of thirty. They either find a man with good conditions to marry and become a housewife, or they turn to other industries.

Profession.

In comparison, being an actor is a long-term job.

As long as they can successfully break into this circle, even if they can only become a second- or third-tier person who occasionally plays some supporting roles, they will definitely be much better than ordinary well-known models. The fame brought by becoming an actor can in turn extend their career life in the fashion circle, allowing them to

They get more opportunities.

What's more, the salary difference between the two is also very obvious.

Therefore, most models in the fashion industry have tried to break into Hollywood.

Michael J. Fox's last year's "The Road to Prosperity" only had a few fleeting scenes with no lines at all in the beginning, and it brought together several of the top A-list models in the fashion industry such as Cindy Crawford. In comparison,

, Hollywood A-list stars obviously will not lower themselves in this way.

After briefly introducing the situation, Simon talked about the specific details: "If there are no problems on your side, we can sign an agreement recently, and the three of you will need to follow Daenerys Entertainment's arrangements in the next few years."

The three women all paused, but this time it was Erica Anderson, the more restrained of the three women, who spoke: "Simon, what if we don't get the chance in three years?"

"Even if Diana Prince can't be cast, "Wonder Woman" still needs a lot of Amazon female warriors. Moreover, after going through the next three years, I believe that as long as you are not too slack, you will have enough to gain a foothold in Hollywood.

, even if you continue to return to the fashion industry, there will be no problem." Simon said, remembering something, and asked Erica Anderson: "Did you just get a role in New Line's "A Nightmare on Elm Street 5" recently?

?”

Erica Anderson nodded, not expecting Simon to know this.

"Turn it down," Simon said after receiving confirmation from Erica Anderson: "The style of the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" series is really not high, and he is not the protagonist. Participating in such a movie will not do you any good."

Although it was just a small role as the heroine's best friend in "A Nightmare on Elm Street 5", and her death in the end was a bit tragic, it was something she had fought hard for. Erica Anderson couldn't help but look at her agent.

The girl's agent was obviously very decisive and said: "Mr. Westeros, after the meeting, we will contact New Line to reject the role."

As the agent said this, he looked at Erica Anderson somewhat disappointedly, feeling that this girl was a bit petty.

Just kidding.

Compared with the opportunity given by Simon Westeros, even if the protagonist of "A Nightmare on Elm Street 5" is not changed, is it still necessary to consider it?

Simon just nodded, continued to chat with the three women in some details, and then sent them away.

After sending this group of people away, Jennifer walked in holding a cardboard box, which contained a stack of documents and seven or eight boxes of video tapes: "Boss, this is what Mr. Deutschman sent here. He recently selected it."

Some project scripts and demos from independent filmmakers.”

Simon casually put the business card that Helena Christensen secretly left for him on the desk. He looked at the female assistant whose eyes drifted to his hand and quickly moved away. He smiled and took out a copy from the carton.

Opening the script, he casually tapped on his right hand side and said, "Come on."

Jennifer stood opposite Simon, her face turned red, and she said, "No."

"How about I come over?"

"I'm going back to work."

Jennifer said, retreating slightly, but then suddenly stepped forward. Simon thought she was going to do something across the table, but as soon as he raised his eyes from the script, the female assistant had already walked out.

Simon was a little confused and glanced around, only to realize that the business card he had just put down was missing.

After just laughing, Simon returned his attention to the script in front of him.

A moment later, just as Simon focused on the script in front of him, there was a knock on the office door again, and Amy Pascal walked in.

After getting along for a long time, Simon was not too polite to Amy. He just nodded to her and asked: "How was your talk with Wes?"

Amy sat down opposite Simon, shook her head and said: "Paramount has offered a contract with a base salary of 6 million US dollars plus 10% of the profit share of the project. I talked with Wes and he hopes to get it for the sequel of "Scream"

Same treatment.”

For the first "Scream", Wes Craven received a salary of US$5 million from a top-tier A-list director, which alone accounted for half of the project budget. The actors in the film were all newcomers.

Simon actually planned to double the budget for the next two sequels. However, although Amy did not explain the specific details of the 10% profit sharing, Simon immediately expressed his rejection in his heart.

Take the first "Scream" as an example. The North American box office is calculated as US$100 million. Then, if it is operated through all channels such as overseas markets, video tapes, and TV broadcasts, this project can at least bring Daenerys Entertainment no less than

Net profit of US$100 million. Even if Wes Craven asks for a share of this net profit, a 10% share, it will reach US$10 million.

If Wes Craven is indispensable to "Scream", Simon will be willing to pay even the base salary of $16 million plus share of expenses. After all, the profits earned by Daenerys Entertainment are still very considerable

of.

However, for a youth horror film with a fixed formula, Wes Craven is not essential. Simon will not pay a huge director's salary of US$16 million, which is equivalent to the budget of an additional horror film.

After thinking for a moment, Simon said: "Two sequels, $15 million, this is Daenerys Entertainment's offer. Talk to Wes again. If he is not willing, forget it."
