Michael Orwitz thought that WMA poached Kirsty Ely because of Daenerys Entertainment’s counterattack against CAA because of the “Rain Man” incident, but in fact it was not the case. For the enemy, compared to stopping and fighting with the other party, Simon is more accustomed to moving forward, throwing the other party far away, to the point where they can only look up to them.

Just like Simon's entanglement with Matthew Broderick.

When the incident happened, the general view in Hollywood was that a big star wanted to deal with a small screenwriter. Although he ended up being disappointed, a small person like Simon was more of a topic of conversation for some people after dinner.

But now, with the rise of Daenerys Entertainment, although Simon has never talked about the original incident in public or private occasions, senior executives of Hollywood film companies have involuntarily had an idea: If they cooperate with Matthew Broderick, will it cause Simon Westeros to be displeased, or even trigger targeting the other party, or they may lose possible cooperation opportunities?

There are actually many popular young actors with good box office appeal in Hollywood. Michael Fox, Matt Dillon and others can replace Matthew Broderick.

In comparison, Simon Westeros has only one.

So, after Universal's "The Soldier of Genius" last year, as Simon soared into Hollywood, mainstream film companies became cautious about whether to cooperate with Matthew Broderick.

In the second half of 1988, Matthew Broderick only starred in a literary homosexual comedy "Same-Sex Three-Points" by Xinyi Films. The production cost was 8 million US dollars, and the unpopular schedule in October was not yet 5 million US dollars after the film was released.

It can be imagined that even if Hollywood Film Company continues to cooperate with Matthew Broderick, taking into account Simon's factors, it is impossible for the company's key high-quality projects to the other party.

Without excellent scripts and high-quality schedules, box office will naturally be impossible to talk about. Without box office performance support, the original Hollywood first-line actors will soon become second- and third-tier actors, and then completely disappear from the public's sight.

This kind of strong crush that does not require self-operation is what Simon pursues.

As for Colsty Ailly, the reason why Daenerys Entertainment enabled the other party was actually because this actress was the original heroine of "Flying Over Innocence". Since CAA sets obstacles when Meg Ryan starred in "Flying Over Innocence", while enabling the original heroine, WMA's poaching is just a good idea.

Michael Orwitz was facing a great enemy and had no peace all weekend after returning to Los Angeles, but Daenerys Entertainment was not affected at all.

Monday, January 9th.

Due to the time difference, Simon, who was far away in Melbourne, has finished filming of "Batman" on the first day, and Amy arrived at the company at 8 am in the morning of Western Time.

After an hour of call with the New York TV department, at nine o'clock, Amy Hecklin, director of "Flying Over Innocence", the leading creators, including Amy Hecklin, the male lead Mel Gibson and the newly signed heroine Kirsty Eli, arrived at Santa Monica, and another hour of production meeting.

As the CEO of Daenerys Entertainment, Amy's main job is the operation of Daenerys Pictures and the company's daily administrative management. Although Robert Rem, Robert Eiger, Nancy Brill, Ella Deutchman and other supervisors perform their respective duties and share most of the company's business, Amy's work that needs to be taken into account often keeps her busy for more than ten hours a day.

The heroine has been finalized, "Flying Over Innocence" will begin supporting role selection and early stage scenic spots, and filming is expected to start in early March.

At ten o'clock, Amy Hecklin and others were sent away, and Amy's assistant Vanessa reminded her that Gensler's team was waiting in the conference room.

Gensler is an old architectural design company headquartered in San Francisco and has a very wide international reputation.

The Malibu Cinema Park of Daenerys Entertainment has begun design bidding. Such a large comprehensive office park covering an area of ​​50 hectares has naturally caused competition from many top architectural design companies, and Gensler is one of them.

Before leaving Los Angeles, Simon drew a rough sketch of Daenerys Cinema according to his own preferences. The bidding architectural design company only needs to improve it based on Simon's sketch and make it practically feasible.

The Gensler team today is going to introduce Amy to their design proposals and project quotations.

When he arrived at the conference room, Amy unexpectedly found that Janet was already sitting at the desk and was talking warmly with several Gensler staff. Seeing Amy in, everyone stood up to greet Amy one after another. Janet also stood up and stood smiling and stood beside her. After everyone introduced each other, she said to Amy: "I'm just listening, you can do whatever you want."

These days when Simon left Los Angeles, Janet basically appeared at the company on time to participate in Daenerys Entertainment's annual financial audit.

However, Janet still fully utilized her young lady's character who was accustomed to the "superiors are working hard" and directly transferred three accountants from the Johnston Group to participate in the audit work.

Speaking of which, the company's financial data is not suitable for disclosure to outsiders. But everyone knows that Janet played a supervisor role in this audit. Since Simon did not object to Janet's actions, Amy and others were not good at opposing it.

The area of ​​50 hectares is really large. The north-south length of Fox Cinema in Century City is only 500 meters. Although the plot bought by Daenerys Entertainment is in a triangular layout, the depth from the entrance to the highest point is more than 1.5 kilometers. Even if the unusable slopes are removed, the remaining construction land is more than the set of any other major film company in Los Angeles except Universal Studios.

Therefore, although it is planned to move its subsidiary Daenerys Entertainment, including Daenerys Special Effects, Pixar Animation and Marvel Entertainment to the cinema, this plot is still more than enough. Daenerys Entertainment also directly requires the design company to plan according to the scale of 2,500 employees.

It took more than an hour for Gensler's team to introduce their own design plan. After discussing the quotation, it was already noon.

After finishing the morning's work, Robert Rem and Ella Deutchman also came from Burbank to have lunch with Amy and discussed the work arrangements for the new week. Since Janet was there, Amy took the opportunity to invite her to join her.

Everyone sat in a restaurant near the company headquarters. Robert Rem asked Janet with a smile: "Jenny, how is the audit progress? I'm very curious about how much money the company has made this year?"

"There must be many," Janet said with a smile, and as he flipped through the menu, he suddenly seemed to be carelessly adding: "But there are many problems."

Ella Deutchman did not feel the change in Janet's tone and continued easily: "Our company has only been established for more than two years, so there will definitely be some problems."

Amy and Rem keenly noticed Janet's unusual tone and couldn't help but look at her.

Janet put down the menu in her hand, and her beautiful eyes were always very eye-catching. She looked like a cat about to rush to her prey. She glanced at the three of them lightly and said, "I found that someone spent $16,000 to party at his home, but recorded the bill as the entertainment fee for the movie project. He also took the company's private plane in the name of a business trip, but in fact, it was to send his son to college."

Amy and Deutchman looked at Robert Rem together. Of the four people there, he was probably the only one who could have a college son.

Robert Rem shrugged calmly and said, "Jenny, I haven't done this before."

"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have sat here for dinner with you," Janet's expression seemed to slow down a little, and directly revealed the mystery: "It's actually Ron Macmillan."

Amy and the other two were both surprised and not surprised when they heard this.

When Simon produced "Rola Run", Ron Macmillan was his producer.

After the success of "Rolla Run", Ron Macmillan also became the signed producer of Daenerys Pictures. In the past two years, he has completed two projects, "Here is Death" and "Scream" and both have achieved impressive box office results.

Ron Macmillan has also become one of Hollywood's hottest top producers.

Because of these sources, everyone was surprised that Janet would suddenly point the finger at the company's old producer. However, after following Simon's success, Ron Macmillan's reputation in the industry in the past two years has not been very good, so it is not surprising that he has these unclean tricks.

After a moment of silence, Amy raised her hand to stop the waiter who wanted to come over and asked Janet in a low voice: "Jenny, did you tell Simon about this?"

"I said it, he asked me to do it," Jenny asked back, "Amy, what do you think you should do?"

Amy was a little confused and could only remind him: "Jenny, "Scream 2" has begun to be prepared."

In the past week, "Scream" received another $5.61 million. In the 10th week of its release, the youth horror film officially broke the 100 million yuan mark, with a cumulative box office of $103.97 million. Simon originally gave a trilogy outline, and the heroine Courtney Cox also signed a trilogy contract. The film is so successful that the preparations for the sequel are naturally put on the agenda, and it is also scheduled for this year's Halloween again.

As the producer of "Scream", Ron Macmillan now removes the other party, which will undoubtedly affect the development progress of the project.

Janet heard Amy's hesitant tone and said, "Actually, Ron and I are very familiar with each other. We helped Simon shoot "Rola Run". However, he has crossed the line too much. I don't care about the mess he has in the circle. If he can work hard for Simon, Daenerys Entertainment will do his best to protect him. But he shouldn't use these little thoughts on Daenerys Entertainment. Simon has given him enough rewards and has also promoted him from an unknown little producer to his current position. He shouldn't take anything that does not belong to him, nor should he deceive Simon. So, Amy called him in the afternoon and he was fired."

Amy was stunned and said, "Jenny, don't you need to discuss it with Simon?"

"No need," Janet said firmly, staring at Amy, and said, "Simon is actually a very soft-hearted guy and doesn't like to care about such trivial things. But, Amy, I'm not, I'm just a little woman. As long as I think a person is no longer trustworthy and may even endanger my boyfriend, I will clear him from Simon without hesitation."

Amy was stared at by Janet, and was silent for a moment, but nodded, saying, "I will call Ron in the afternoon, but what should I do if "Scream"?"

"This is not something I need to care about," Janet was very satisfied with Amy's answer, but was even more dismissive. After saying that, he glanced at Rem and Doicyman, as if he was joking, saying, "The financial report this year is not a big problem. However, I will help Simon stare at you next year. Simon's reward for you is very generous, so unless you can confirm that you are not caught, don't take anything that does not belong to you."

After saying this, Janet slowly picked up the menu without waiting for the three of them to respond, and as if nothing had happened just now, she started to laugh with Amy and the others in a blink of an eye.

So, after a meal, Janet obviously enjoyed it very much, but Amy and the other two seemed to have eaten fish bones. Even looking at Janet's smiling face, the three of them felt a creepy feeling in their hearts.

After lunch, Janet did not stay at the company in the afternoon.

Amy also sent Rem and Deutchman away. Because of the overseas release of several films such as "Scream" and Gaomen Pictures, the two will fly to the UK together.

Rem and Deutchman rushed to Santa Monica Airport in downtown Santa Monica. Nancy Brill had just returned from the East Coast on a private jet owned by Daenerys Entertainment. The woman flew to New York yesterday and discussed with several New York banks in the morning about the loans needed to acquire funds for Blockbuster.

Although Daenerys Entertainment had a lot of funds on the books, Simon decided to turn all the excess funds to Westeros account. He did not explain the reason to do so to Amy and others, nor did he even explain to James Rebel. So, if he wanted to invest in Blockbuster, Daenerys Entertainment had to continue to choose a loan.

Including the $200 million purchased property in Europe at the end of last year, Simon's current total debt has only increased to $650 million, which is only 20% compared to his total personal assets. Therefore, adding $100 million in debt is still within Simon's tolerance.

In fact, Simon can even afford to increase his total debt to $1 billion to $1.5 billion as long as there are appropriate investment opportunities.

When Nancy returned to the company, she came directly to Amy's office to discuss the results of this trip to New York with her.

Amy had just put down the phone call with Ron Macmillan. She did not directly notify Ron Macmillan on the phone as Janet told her, but instead made an appointment tonight's dinner. Compared to Janet, Amy hoped to get along well with Ron Macmillan, which would not harm Daenerys' entertainment.
Chapter completed!
