Chapter 223 New Year's Eve Reception(1/2)

Daenerys Entertainment Headquarters, today is December 31st, the last day of 1988.

Simon welcomed a special guest in the afternoon, Stan Lee, the current chairman and publisher of Marvel Comics and the creator of superhero characters such as Captain America, Spider-Man, and the Fantastic Four.

Due to work, Stan Lee still lives in New York. This time he came to Los Angeles for vacation.

In the past few months since the acquisition of New World Entertainment, Simon has met with Stan Lee several times, but the two parties have not had the opportunity to discuss Marvel's future development plans.

"Batman" is about to start filming, and Stan Lee, who has always been interested in the film and television adaptation of Marvel superheroes, took advantage of the year-end vacation to pay a special visit to Simon to discuss the matter.

"Stan, Daenerys Entertainment will definitely develop Marvel superhero movies, but now is not the right time. We all know that compared to "Superman" and "Batman", such as Batman and the Fantastic Four

Filming Marvel superheroes is very difficult.”

"But we can start with some easier projects, can't we?" When it came to business, the 66-year-old man was no longer as witty as usual, and said seriously: "Simon, "The Punisher" is good, he has no differences.

Yes, no special effects are needed, why cancel this project?”

Jennifer brought a pot of coffee in at this time, and Simon did not stop talking, saying: "Stan, you must have read the script. It is completely a shootout movie in the style of Stallone's "First Blood", which is completely lost."

The essence of The Punisher's story."

Stan Lee took the coffee from Jennifer, thanked her, and then said: "Simon, the script can be modified."

Simon took a sip of his coffee and said: "Then the original project will need to be completely overturned and started from scratch. And, frankly speaking, Stan, I am not optimistic about the box office prospects of "The Punisher"."

Stan Lee couldn't help but shook his head and said: "I really don't understand what you are thinking, Simon. You now own all the superhero copyrights of Marvel, but you are going to film DC's "Batman"."

"I started preparing "Batman" before I took over Marvel."

"So, what about Superman and Wonder Woman?"

Simon looked at the old man who was obviously starting to get emotional and said with a smile: "Stan, don't you think it is a very fulfilling thing to hold the copyrights of several heavyweight DC superheroes in addition to Marvel.

?"

Stan Lee thought for a moment, then laughed, and then said: "Okay, Simon, but how long do we have to wait?"

"Five years," Simon said: "Five years later, Daenerys Entertainment will start planning Marvel superhero film and television projects. Before that, I hope to accumulate certain skills and experience through several DC superheroes.

experience."

Simon is now the boss of Marvel, and since he has made up his mind, Stan Lee does not bother too much. The two of them continue to chat about some trivial matters of Marvel Entertainment management, and more than an hour passes before they know it.

When it was time to get off work, Simon sent Stan Lee out of the office. Jennifer, who was sitting outside, picked up a prepared invitation and handed it to Simon.

Simon handed the invitation to Stan Lee and said: "Stan, this is the invitation to Daenerys Entertainment's New Year's Eve reception tonight. It will start at seven o'clock and will be held in the Palisade. If you are interested, you can

come over."

Stan Lee accepted the invitation and said cheerfully: "I will definitely attend on time."

After seeing Stan Lee off, Simon glanced at the outer office, which was temporarily occupied by Jennifer.

Susan Landis was fired last Friday, and the two scripts of "The Rocketeer" and "Firebird" that Simon prepared a few days ago have now fallen into the hands of Paramount Pictures.

There was no possibility of misunderstanding in this matter. After picking out the two scripts, Simon just placed them in his office without contacting the copyright holders of the two scripts or telling anyone else about it.

Until last Friday, Simon asked Jennifer to make a few tentative phone calls, and two projects that had been nowhere to be found were suddenly picked up by Paramount. This is obviously not a coincidence.

Susan Landis has been Simon's secretary since the establishment of Daenerys Entertainment, and she has accumulated some friendship. Since the other party did not cause any damage to Daenerys Entertainment, Simon did not use a small shrimp to operate.

Interest, just simply dismiss the other person.

However, being reminded by this incident, Simon also began to pay more attention to confidentiality.

Tonight is New Year's Eve. After Stan Lee left, Simon got off work early and rushed to the mansion halfway up the mountain in Palisade.

The New Year's Eve reception hosted by Daenerys Entertainment started at seven o'clock in the evening. When Simon arrived here, it was not yet half past five. He got off the car in the courtyard and asked a few party company employees who were busy around him. Simon was very happy

I quickly found Janet and Catherine on the second floor of the villa.

Seeing Simon appear, Janet, who was choosing a dress, sent away the stylist who was whispering to help her. She came over and kissed Simon, saying: "You came at the right time, help me see which dress to wear tonight."

The dress is appropriate.”

Simon looked at Catherine, who had put on a silver dress that suited her personality very well, and said, "As long as you don't match Catherine's clothes."

Janet also glanced at Catherine and said with a smile: "I won't choose a dress that makes people lose the courage to approach her."

Catherine argued in a low voice with dissatisfaction: "Why do I make people afraid to approach me?"

Janet pointed at Simon: "Look, he doesn't dare to get close to you."

Catherine suddenly glanced at Simon with a guilty conscience and a hint of resentment.

Simon smiled and walked to sit on the sofa next to him and said, "It's just that you are here, affecting my performance."

Janet picked up a dress from the hanger and gestured in front of her, then glanced at Simon casually: "Do you want me to leave first and give you some time alone?"

"It doesn't have to be long, just an hour."

"little bastard."

Catherine blushed: "If you keep doing this, I'm leaving."

After a few words of bickering, Janet quickly chose a dress. After all, it was the burgundy color she liked very much. After trying it on, she stopped taking it off and once again put on the blond hair who had secretly ogled Simon after seeing him just now.

The female stylist called over and they went next door to touch up her makeup.

Perhaps she didn't want to follow her from the bottom of her heart. Catherine stood in the distance and randomly arranged the dresses on the hanger, as if she could clearly feel the eyes of the little man behind her.

Soon, a pair of big hands hugged her waist, and the man's breath came closer and closer, and Catherine whispered: "Jenny is here."

Simon just hummed softly, caressed the woman's smooth silk dress, kissed Catherine's neck, and said: "How about taking off your high heels? I really don't dare to get close to you when you are wearing high heels."

"

Catherine's original height reached 180cm, but when she put on 5cm high heels, she immediately surpassed Simon, who had grown a little taller but was still only over 1.8 meters tall.

"You little bastard, I won't accommodate you."

Catherine murmured softly, but still kicked off the high heels on her feet obediently, and her body was weakly propped up on the clothes hanger.

After six o'clock, the mansion began to become lively.

Janet stood in front of the villa to greet the guest rooms from all over Los Angeles that were gathering here. It was not until 6:30 that she saw Simon appear next to her. The woman kept smiling and talked to Jessica, the heroine of "Steel Magnolias" who had just arrived.

Mr. and Mrs. Lange said hello, and when the other party entered the villa, they stretched out their hands and pinched Simon's waist unceremoniously: "Asshole, you really worked hard for an hour."

Simon took Janet's little hand and squeezed it, then he said nonsense: "No, just chatting."

"Nonsence."

Janet gave Simon a hard look, and when she saw Robert Rehm and his wife walking over from a short distance away, she let Simon go.

At seven o'clock, the reception officially started.

Compared with previous parties in this mansion, this reception was not the largest in scale, but it was definitely the one with the most celebrities in attendance. Due to Daenerys Entertainment’s series of achievements in film and television this year,

Miraculously, many top stars in Hollywood who were originally reserved began to take the initiative to make friends with Daenerys Entertainment.

Moreover, compared to the past, most of the guests at tonight's party found it difficult to care about Simon's age in front of him. Instead, they were generally more in awe. After all, six movies with a box office of 100 million yuan were produced in one year.

None of the films missed a beat, and all six films are destined to be among the top ten in the annual box office list. This kind of initiative has never happened in Hollywood.

Perhaps, except for Simon Westeros himself, it will be difficult for Hollywood to break this kind of record in the future.

"Ms. Pfeiffer, the heroine of "One Flew Over" needs an American Sweetheart style. You are too beautiful, and your temperament is more cold and glamorous, so you are not suitable for this role."

On the lawn in the backyard of the mansion, the sky had completely darkened, and the brightly lit courtyard was full of people.

Simon stood at the buffet table and originally wanted to choose some food to comfort his hungry stomach. Michelle Pfeiffer, who was wearing a low-cut aqua blue evening dress tonight, came over and took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him.

Speaking of which, since Simon entered Hollywood, the name Michelle Pfeiffer has been mentioned often. Michelle Pfeiffer, who just turned 30 this year, is also at the peak of her beauty. Here.

Previously, Daenerys Entertainment and Michelle Pfeiffer had several potential cooperation opportunities. Simon also asked the other party to audition for the role of Mia in "Pulp Fiction", but in the end it did not happen.

"In that case, Simon, do you think there are any other roles in projects under Daenerys Entertainment that would be suitable for me?"

Michelle Pfeiffer looked at Simon. After saying this, she brought a glass of red wine to her mouth and took a sip, obviously glancing over with a hint of hint.

Simon was just a little hungry. In some ways, he had just been 'full'. His resistance to women was at its strongest at this time. Hearing this, he just said: "If there is, I will definitely contact you."

Michelle Pfeiffer didn't see the enthusiasm in Simon's eyes that she should have. Seeing that he was still holding the dinner plate, she had to say: "Well, Simon, how about we go dancing together? Are you really that hungry?"

Simon told the truth: "Yes, but, Michelle, don't you have a male partner?"

I vaguely remember that this woman should be married.

Michelle Pfeiffer shook her head and said calmly: "I just got divorced recently."

"Oh, that's such a shame."

"It's nothing," Michelle Pfeiffer said: "Since two people can't continue to be together, of course it's better to separate."

After continuing to chat for a few words, seeing that Simon never showed much emotion, Michelle Pfeiffer walked away knowingly.

As soon as Michelle Pfeiffer walked away, Sandra Bullock walked over with Courteney Cox on her arm.

Simon had just finished selecting the food and was about to walk away. When he saw the two women getting intimate, the joke he had made with Sandra a few days ago suddenly rang out. Isn't this girl really going to take action?

However, after taking a closer look at Courteney's expression, Simon realized that the two women were not as close as he thought.

"Hey, what were you talking about with that woman just now?"
