Chapter 240 How Obvious(1/2)
Near noon, the black Mercedes-Benz sedan entered the movie theater plot purchased by Daenerys Entertainment along the widened mountain road. Although it was a Saturday, there were still people busy in the mountain col that had become a construction site, and the surrounding bushes were no longer the same as before.
Bushy look.
The car stopped at the edge of the construction site, Nancy Brill opened the door and got out, and Amy Pascal came over.
Nancy looked at the surrounding terrain surrounded by ridges on both sides and close to the cliff, and said to Amy who was walking over: "Judging from the selection of this land, our little boss must be a guy who lacks security in his bones."
Amy smiled and asked: "Why do you say that?"
Nancy raised her hand and gestured around, then made a hug gesture, and said: "How obvious, a defensive choice of terrain full of autistic mentality. So, it's no wonder that he likes women older than himself.
"
Amy was a little helpless at Nancy's outspokenness and reminded: "I'm going to have lunch with Jenny later, so don't talk nonsense."
"Of course not, and the Oedipus complex is not an embarrassing thing. Many people have this mentality. Based on our little boss's growth experience from childhood to adulthood, it is more normal to have this mentality."
Amy was even more helpless. After yesterday's incident, the gap between her and Nancy was reduced a lot, and the two of them could also talk about some topics outside of work: "If you say these words again, be careful that I secretly tell Simon
File a complaint and expel you from the company."
Nancy felt Amy's defense of Simon, so she wisely ended the topic and asked: "Did he reply to what happened yesterday?"
"Simon agreed, but he asked you to draw up a more detailed plan first, and also warned you that you must communicate with Blockbuster to prevent things like what happened at the board meeting yesterday," Amy said, looking at
He looked at his watch and said: "It's almost time, let's go to Dumei Cape."
Nancy didn't expect Simon to agree so easily. She was a little happy and said, "I'll take your car and we'll talk on the way."
With that said, Nancy returned to her black Mercedes-Benz, took out her satchel and a thick folder from the car, and got into Amy's co-pilot. This was a construction site owned by Daenerys Entertainment, and she also
Don't worry about anything wrong with leaving your car here, just drive it along the way when you come back.
Because of the 18-hour time difference, it is already early Sunday morning in Australia, but it is still noon on Saturday here.
Amy waited for Nancy to sit down, and just as she was about to start the car, her mobile phone rang. She gestured to Nancy, and the two naturally switched places, with Nancy driving and Amy sitting in the passenger seat.
Pick up the phone.
Nancy started the car and drove up the U-shaped mountain road, then turned onto the coastal highway. After Amy finished answering the phone, she asked: "What about Meg Ryan?"
Amy nodded, frowning slightly as she thought about what just happened.
After the stalemate between Daenerys Entertainment and CAA, even though she was bound by the option contract, the company could not force Meg Ryan to refuse to star in other movies. This would not violate the contract between the two parties, but it would make Dany
Lisi Entertainment has fallen into a lot of negative public opinion in the circle.
Refrigeration is a thing of the past in the era of big studios.
Daenerys Entertainment is now taking such measures against an A-list actress, which will definitely arouse the fear and dissatisfaction of other Hollywood stars.
Amy then adopted a strategy of attrition, constantly wasting Meg Ryan's time with various projects that were destined not to sign the other party. The two parties discussed for a month on "Pretty Woman" last month, CAA may be
I found out some inside story and asked to change the script.
Then, the topic of this month for both parties turned to "The Endless Love between Humans and Ghosts".
Seeing that more than half a month has passed, CAA has probably fully understood Daenerys Entertainment’s intentions.
Meg Ryan's agent Josh Lieberman just called and claimed that if the two parties cannot finalize Meg Ryan's next film contract within a week, he hopes Daenerys Entertainment can release his client
Go and star in other movies.
Otherwise, CAA will file a lawsuit against Kirstie Alley to prevent her from starring in Daenerys' "One Flew Over the Child" collaboration with Warner Bros.
Kirstie Alley is the actress who replaced Meg Ryan as the heroine of "One Flew Over the Child" some time ago, and is also the original heroine of "One Flew Over". Moreover, Kirstie Alley was originally
She is a client of CAA. Before taking on the role in "One Flew Over the Child", WMA hired her from CAA.
Because she still has one year left in her contract with CAA, during the process of changing jobs, Kirstie Alley reached an agreement with CAA that the commission from film contracts obtained in the next year will still belong to CAA. This is often used by many stars when they change agencies.
strategy, and Hollywood agencies generally accept this popular breakup plan.
However, if we get serious, things will definitely not be so simple.
Seeing Amy nodding, Nancy thought for a while and said, "I recently saw in the Hollywood Reporter that Paramount has signed a contract with Tom Cruise for the leading role in "The Rocketeer". The article also said
Paramount intends to cast Meg Ryan as the heroine. Amy, if I guess correctly, the two scripts of "The Rocketeer" and "Firebirds" should have been leaked by Simon on purpose, right?"
Amy glanced at Nancy with a surprised expression, and then nodded.
Nancy did not ask for the inside story, but just suggested: "In this case, just let Meg Ryan go, let her pay a lot of money, and then star in a bad movie that will probably not be successful.
This is much better than forcibly dragging the other party. There are too many people in Hollywood who want to cause trouble for us, so there is no need to actively give out such easy-to-attack information."
Amy rubbed the mobile phone still in her hand, nodded after a moment and said, "I'll discuss it with Simon."
"If it were me, I wouldn't discuss such a trivial matter with him."
Amy smiled and said: "You are really coveting my position."
"Of course, I even covet the position of our boss. Unfortunately, I don't have as weird a talent as him. Amy, I even have some doubts that the original Simon Westeros is dead. Now this,
In fact, he is a vampire, the kind that lives for hundreds of years. Otherwise, how else to explain that he knows so many things at the age of twenty?"
"Next time you see Simon, you can ask him if he is a vampire."
"I don't want to be silenced," Nancy smiled and shrank her neck. She casually glanced at Amy next to her. She noticed the mobile phone in her hand that was much more sophisticated than the old-fashioned mobile phone. She immediately became interested and raised it.
Chin said: "Which brand of mobile phone is this? I have always wanted to buy a mobile phone, but unfortunately those things are too bulky."
Amy showed Nancy the black mobile phone that was only about the size of a palm and comparable to later mobile phones, and said, "I only got the Micro-TAC that Motorola just released in the past few days."
Nancy looked at it for a few times and decided to buy one in the afternoon. Suddenly she remembered something and said with a smile: "I think this mobile phone will definitely be very popular. Motorola, it seems that a certain guy is going to regret liquidating his Motorola stock last year.
And recently, I think it’s not very smart for him to reduce his holdings in Apple stock, as Apple still has great growth potential.”
Both of them are elite working women. Although they are not involved in the electronic field, they do not lack business vision.
Westeros caused quite a stir last year when it reduced its holdings in Motorola shares. This year, Motorola released a mobile communications product that may eliminate all other bulky mobile phones. Next, once Motorola's stock price rises, Westeros
Luo Company will inevitably be ridiculed.
"Simon must have his own considerations," Amy said to her boss, then patted the folder Nancy handed to her when they changed seats on her lap, and said: "This is what you gave to Simon.
birthday present?"
"It's in my bag. I picked a pen." Nancy shook her head and explained: "This is the planning plan for "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and some setting samples made by the studio. I plan to let
Jenny took it to Melbourne for Simon to take a look at.”
Amy opened the folder and looked at it. In addition to a thick stack of various documents, there were also several computer floppy disks, which should be the game samples Nancy mentioned: "Simon is so busy now, and you still give him so many things."
, it’s like squeezing the boss.”
Nancy nodded and admitted shamelessly, saying: "Of course, no one stipulates that employees cannot exploit the boss. What's more, he is a man and is meant to be exploited."
Amy paused, pursed her lips and smiled: "I didn't expect you to tell dirty jokes."
"Dirty joke?" Nancy turned to look at Amy with a puzzled look on her face, then understood in a flash, glared at her and said, "I didn't expect you to be so vulgar."
Amy's smile continued: "Okay, I'm vulgar."
The two were chatting and passing by the Dume Point Manor, which had also been turned into private property and was being fenced off for construction. They unexpectedly saw Janet and Catherine walking out of the manor, and Nancy stopped the car.
After purchasing Dume Point Park, Simon's replica of the 'Iron Man Mansion' has recently begun construction.
Janet was going to Australia to celebrate Simon's birthday, but Catherine did not intend to go with her, so she was recruited by Janet to serve as the overseer of the Dume Point Manor.
The four women all knew each other, and after chatting warmly, they rushed to a nearby restaurant for lunch. Amy's purpose of coming here was actually the same as Nancy's, and she also wanted to help transfer to some other senior executives of the company.
Birthday gift for Simon.
After lunch, Amy and Nancy left, and Janet began to pack a lot of luggage for Australia this time in her and Simon's villa on the west side of Dume Point Manor.
The next day, Janet boarded a private plane to Australia at eight o'clock in the morning.
After a 16-hour flight, when we arrived in Melbourne, it was already past six o'clock on Monday afternoon in Australia.
However, Janet did not follow the driver who came to pick her up from the Johnston family back to their suburban mansion. After arranging the location of her luggage, she rushed directly to the "Batman" studio in the city center.
Today's filming was a scene between Batman and Catwoman, which took place in an alley in the Futsake district in western Melbourne. When Janet arrived, the alley had been closed by the crew and the sky was basically dark.
When I saw Simon, he was telling a play for the three catwomen.
That's right, three actors wearing standard Catwoman uniforms.
Although Daenerys Entertainment arranged sufficient physical training for Adam Baldwin and Valerie Golino in the early stage, many scenes in the film still required the use of stand-ins. Because Catwoman has higher requirements in physical skills and fighting,
This character uses a double more frequently.
In fact, during the filming of the film, there were a total of seven Catwoman stand-ins. Some were used to help Valerie Golino complete potentially dangerous scenes, and some were used to replace her in more complex professional physical movements.
Today's action scenes in Hollywood are still generally at the level of drunken street fights. In order to realize his vision, Simon spent as much energy on stuntmen as he did on the actors themselves before filming started.
Catwoman has a background as a gymnast, and two of Valerie Golino's stand-ins are professional gymnasts who have participated in the Olympic Games. Although she did not win a medal, her strength should not be underestimated, and she can complete many gymnastics moves.
It is much more exciting than simply doing some somersaults in some videos.
Simon set up the action scenes of "Batman" completely with reference to Hollywood action blockbusters that have matured many years later. In order to prevent the team they have trained from being married off, Daenerys Entertainment also signed a contract with all the action actors participating this time.
Long-term employment contract.
Janet came to Simon and without hesitation, she threw herself into the man's arms and started to get wet.
