Chapter 353 Concert(1/2)
"Anti-Withful Stars" is actually Wayne'World in English, which is literally translated as "Wayne's World".
The meaning of "Anti-fight" is naughty in Cantonese. The "Wanyne'World" sketch created by Mike Meiers after entering "Saturday Night Live" last year is to show the nonsensical fantasy world of a pair of partners Wayne and Gass with various unscrupulous spoofs, and stars often participate in guest appearances.
Inside the Daenerys Entertainment Branch Building in Greenwich Village.
Simon sat in the office reserved for himself on the East Coast, holding the script of "Anti-Wisdom Stars".
If judged based on the routine of Hollywood standard commercial scripts, the script of "Anti-Wisdom Stars" is simply useless. The story lacks the main line and the plot is pieced together. As a comedy, there is no Hollywood standard "Happy Ending".
However, it is precisely such a movie that Simon remembers that after its release in 1992, it won a North American box office of $120 million, ranking among the top ten box office rankings that year.
Mike Meiers, who was a young actor from local TV stations, has been living at the bottom for many years, finally tasted the sudden popularity. In the 1990s, he has been firmly ranked among the top comedian stars with the "Anti-Wisdom Star" series and the "Ace Big Spy" series.
After the box office hit by "Anti-Wisdom Stars", those who are interested began to summarize the success of the film, break the fourth wall and talk to the audience, amateur humor, imitation and ridicule of pop culture, the classic use of "Bohemian Rhapsody", etc.
Whether it is success or failure, countless reasons can always be easily calculated based on the results.
There are only Simon and New World Pictures president Danny Morris in the office.
Simon is very interested in "Anti-Wisdom Stars", but Danny Morris is not optimistic about the movie. However, he tried every means to talk about what Simon is interested in and then complete it conscientiously.
Danny Morris missed it once after giving up the helm of Gaomen Pictures, and he didn't plan to make a second mistake.
The rapid rise of enterprises often stimulates the potential of employees. When New World Entertainment joined Daenerys Entertainment, a group of tepid executives performed better than they were originally.
Of course, there are also reasons why West continues to "press" like driving a donkey.
Just working overtime on weekends, no major Hollywood film company can compare with Daenerys Entertainment.
Although Danny Morris gave up taking charge of Gaomen Pictures, his work achievements after becoming the president of New World Pictures made Simon very satisfied, which is why he was able to firmly sit in the position of president of New World Pictures.
Simon actually finds it difficult to tolerate mediocre subordinates in his bones.
Because the mind contains a large amount of memories from more than a dozen people, although their souls come from the East, Simon can easily understand all kinds of interesting jokes in Mike Meiers' script, so he read them with relish.
Quickly browsing the full script, Simon looked up and asked Danny Morris, "Have the cost been estimated?"
Danny Morris nodded and said, "Because there are many outdoor scenes in the script, some of them need special scenes. It is estimated that it will cost 20 million US dollars.
Simon recalls the plot of "Anti-Wisdom Stars" in his mind.
Although it is just a vulgar and spoof comedy, the film has all kinds of big scenes and small explosions, and the budget of $20 million is indeed not high.
Danny Morris looked at Simon's expression and said, "Simon, if you think it's too high, I can talk to Meles and cut off some of the more expensive scenes. This should reduce the cost to less than $15 million, or $10 million should be able to be won."
"No, 20 million is only 20 million," Simon shook his head and asked, "Also, where is Mike Meiers' contract?"
"The two films are in the process, and the pay for "Anti-Wisdom Stars" is $1 million, including the cost of starring and screenwriter. The highest increase in the next film is 500%.
With the popularity brought by "Saturday Night Live", Mike Meiers is already a well-known TV comedy star, and the total cost of the $1 million starring and screenwriter is also reasonable.
If the first song is sold well, whether it is shooting a sequel or starting a new project, the maximum salary will be raised to $5 million, which means it will reach the level of a first-line male star. It is not as extraordinary as the pay of Stallone, Schwarzenegger and others, and it is just right.
Simon had no other questions and pushed the script to Danny Morris, saying: "The last thing is also the most important thing. Whether it is yourself or the specific producers of the next project, you must maintain full communication with Meles and be very familiar with the various humorous jokes in this script. If you don't know where the funny point is, there is no need to advance this movie."
"I'm already doing this, Simon," Danny Morris laughed. "Seriously, there's a long sense of experience."
"Then," Simon raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "It's noon soon, let's have lunch together, and Bob and the others."
Lunch and Danny Morris and Robert Iger together, they couldn't help but talk about other things about the company.
On New World Pictures, Sandra and her age-lost senior brother Robert Duval have agreed to join "The Silence of the Lambs", and the original director Jonathan Demi also agreed to join. The initial budget is US$15 million, and it is expected to start filming in September, with a schedule of August next year, which is still the end of the summer season.
The finale of the "Scream" series "Scream 3" has also entered the preparation stage. The cost of this sequel is expected to reach US$30 million, which is three times the first song, and the schedule is still determined on Halloween in 1991.
After "Children in the Cornfield 2" achieved a good box office during the Easter period, the third sequel also entered the early stage of script development.
Relying on the popularity of the first two films, New World Pictures has prepared a $10 million budget for "Children in Cornfield 3", intending to use the continuous storyline model of "Scream" to build a mainstream horror series.
Although Peter Jackson's heavy-tasting mutton movie "Crazy Fat Treasure Variety Show" failed to be published in North American theaters, it was released through various channels in Australia, North America and Europe. The cost of $1 million had already been recovered and it also produced good profits. New World Pictures officially signed three other new films with the New Zealand director. Jackson's next movie has also been confirmed. Simon also happened to have watched it, called "Cross of Corpse Playing Through the World", a very classic zombie film.
Including the newly confirmed vulgar comedy "Anti-Wisdom Stars" creator of Mike Meiers, New World Pictures has confirmed 5 projects next year.
Simon's annual production of films determined by New World Pictures is comparable to Gaomen Pictures, with 10 films. Therefore, Danny Morris is constantly looking for other projects.
Here is the Daenerys TV led by Robert Eiger.
The spring season of 1990 has already concluded. In addition to "Beverly's Wife", other confirmed reality shows and TV series projects have begun to be prepared. Among them, "Sein Fei" selected by Simon himself was taken down by ABC, which was also intentional for the sake of long-term considerations.
As for "Beverly's Wife", this fall period will be suspended.
As long as everything goes well, "Beverly's Wife" will restart in the spring next year and will be suspended for a short autumn period, which will not cause too irreversible loss of the project's popularity.
After lunch, Simon rushed to Jersey City Madonna on the other side of the Hudson River to meet up and start the final rehearsal of that concert tomorrow night.
Saturday is a blink of an eye.
The concert at Brenda Bailey Stadium began at 8 o'clock. Just after 6 o'clock, Lisa Collins hurried to East Rutherford Town, outside Jersey City.
Arriving near the Brenda Baire Arena, Lisa Collins still feels a little incredible even though she has seen a lot of relevant information in the media recently and feeling the crowds around her.
There are so many people!
I am afraid.
More than 100,000 people are there.
200,000?!
Anyway, Lisa Collins can't count it.
Most superstar concerts will gather a large number of fans who have not bought tickets outside the venue, and the number is usually larger than that in the venue. The Brenda Bayer Stadium can only accommodate 40,000 people, and the actual number of tickets is even smaller. If Lisa Collins had not obtained tickets through the female assistant channel, it would probably be difficult to buy them.
After driving around the huge crowds of people on the outside, Lisa Collins and her boyfriend finally had to park their cars in the parking lot two streets away from the stadium, and walked away from the crowd and walked into the stadium.
It was less than a kilometer away, and there were fans on both sides who held signs and bought tickets at high prices. A regular ticket of $30 has risen to $300 at this time.
Lisa Collins couldn't help but tighten her bag, and finally hugged her in front of her. There were two in-stadium tickets in her bag that were directly below the stage, and they were directly obtained through her best friend's relationship. Judging from the fanaticism of the people around her, she felt that if these people knew about it, they would definitely pounce on them.
However, I really didn't expect that guy would have such a strong appeal.
Just one cameo of three songs, it actually attracted so many people.
Because he was able to occasionally contact Simon through Jennifer's relationship, Lisa Collins gradually lost much sense of distance to her idol. Now, her boyfriend is simply working at Cersei Capital, which further brings some distance between the two parties.
But if you think about it carefully, Westeros participated in the concert.
From the original song "The Wild Bee Flying", so many people know that guy's extraordinary talent in music.
Over the past few years, three phenomenon-level movies, "Run Lola", "Pulp Novel" and "Batman: The Moment of War", have accumulated a large number of loyal fans for him.
Moreover, not just movies and music, but also the news that the man who is very low-key in daily life often makes them all fascinated.
There have been long been gossips about Simon Westero's strong personal force. It is said that he interrupted several people's legs before his debut, and it was related to a Hollywood male star who has disappeared now. However, when Westero's consecutive KO of ten professional boxers in a boxing ring in Melbourne leaked the suffocating strength that still made countless fans crazy.
When he saw the video, Lisa Collins' first reaction was to call her best friend and ask her to touch him for herself.
Touch, touch...
Touching is satisfied.
Then I was called a nerd.
I once talked to my best friend, and it is said that the movie superstitions sent to that guy every week are calculated on sacks.
It seems that there are various explosive news about him every once in a while, but he himself is actually getting more and more low-key. He rarely appears on TV just to promote the movie for a few minutes. Moreover, he often brings other actors with him, often sitting quietly on the sofa far away from the host, giving up the opportunity to speak to those stars.
Now, that guy is finally going to appear publicly at a concert.
It is said that this time, two new songs were directly produced.
Of course you can't miss it.
With that guy's current wealth and status, I missed it and I don't know if I can see him on such a stage in the future.
With excitement in her heart, Lisa Collins finally squeezed into the stadium with her boyfriend and looked at the time. It was already seven o'clock in the evening.
The summer is long and the golden sunsets fill the entire Brenda Baire Stadium.
Even though I had already entered the stadium and saw her and her boyfriend walking down the central stage, someone still asked her for a high price for votes, obviously hoping to get closer to a guy.
Naturally reject.
The sound of warm music was already heard on the stage. Who said that the concert was marked as starting at 8 o'clock? Lisa also learned in advance that Madonna has the habit of being late, and often it will not officially start until nine o'clock.
But, it doesn't matter.
Lisa Collins was not very interested in Madonna, so it would be better if he didn't appear, so he gave it to Simon.
With her boyfriend, she took a great spot on the front of the stage. Lisa Collins couldn't help but have some small resentment towards her best friend. It would be great if she could come here today. She might be able to go to the backstage with her and have more contact with him.
Unfortunately, my best friend is not interested in Madonna's concert.
and.
In private, I could meet him almost every day, and the song "Blizzard" he played specifically for her.
A full woman doesn’t know that a hungry woman is hungry.
So today I didn't even come to the East Coast.
well.
I should have been bolder at the beginning and chased her and worked as an assistant for him.
To be continued...
