Chapter 370 Seattle

Simon returns to Los Angeles this time, and the main work of the next week is to finalize the final plan of the two projects of "The Flash" and "Wonder Woman" in the DC Film Universe Plan, including details such as script, creator, budget, etc.

In addition, after repeated consideration during this period, Simon also plans to re-plan the advancement plan of the DC movie universe.

Next year's two DC movie universe planned films "Batman: The Dark Knight" and "The Flash" have been confirmed, and the 1992 summer season "Wonder Woman" is also a foregone conclusion.

None of these can be changed anymore.

However, Simon hopes to adjust the original "Superman", which was originally scheduled to be released at the end of 1992, to the 1993 summer season, and other projects of the DC movie universe plan such as "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises", "Suicide Squad", "Batman vs. Superman", etc., and finally form a production rhythm of one or three in a year, instead of the initial intensive two in a year.

The 1990s in Hollywood in the original time and space were an era of many outstanding films.

Simon did this, on the one hand, to prevent superhero movies from occupying the big screen too early, and to retain enough market space for excellent commercial or literary films such as "Jurassic Park", "One Day", "Forrest Gump", "Man in Black", "Tornado", "Shawshank Redemption", "Smelling the Fragrance to Know Women", "Crying Game", etc., to achieve the prosperity of Hollywood. On the other hand, it can also give these superhero movies more time to prepare for scripts, special effects, etc.

Especially the special effects.

Because Daenerys Special Effects Company was established in advance and spared no effort to invest in the research and development of CG technology, Daenerys Entertainment's accumulation in special effects technology has reached the technical level of being able to produce "Jurassic Park" in 1993 in the original time and space.

In the first half of the year, Daenerys Entertainment obtained the unpublished adaptation rights of "Jurassic Park" from Michael Clayton in advance, the Daenerys special effects team, under Simon's instructions, produced a cg dinosaur clip that was enough to make a fake cg dinosaur.

As for the filming of "Terminator", the liquid metal robot special effects, the team of Daenerys Special Effects Company is more than enough to deal with it.

However, the rebooted version of "Superman" in Simon's plan is to refer to the Zach Schneider version of "Superman: Man of Steel" in memory. In order to achieve the terrifying effect of destroying the sky and the earth when Clark Kent fought General Zod, the technical accumulation of Daenerys special effects is far from enough.

To settle for the second best, Simon hopes that the special effects level of this version of "Superman" can reach the level of "One Power Day" in the original time and space. To achieve this, it will take at least one year to carry out targeted technical research and development.

I returned to Los Angeles at around 9 o'clock last night and worked as usual on Saturday.

After a busy day, in the evening, the female assistant knocked on the door and entered Simon's office, carrying a black suit in his hand. The female assistant's female assistant followed behind the female assistant, holding a shoe box.

Simon raised his head from the project information of "Anti-Wisdom Stars" in front of him and smiled: "It's just a party. We can just go there after dinner, don't change clothes, right?"

Jennifer asked the follower to put down the shoe box and sent the other party out, saying, "A lot of people, and this was sent back from Europe yesterday by Jenny. She said that if you were laughing at the public event when she was not here, I would be deducted my salary."

Simon was wearing only one shirt. When he saw the female assistant taking out the jacket from the dust cover, he stood up to cooperate and smiled and said, "It seems that I paid your salary?"

"Yes," the female assistant nodded, unfolded her suit and let the man put it on, and said, "So, both of you and your wife bullied me."

“…”

The female assistant helped Simon button up the button with virtuousness, backed up and looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Why don't you speak?"

"I'm wondering how to bully you tonight."

The female assistant gave Simon a blank look, handed over her trousers, and said, "I have already asked Neal and the others to prepare. After the party, I like the house on the island of Lake Washington. We'll come back on Monday."

“…”

The female assistant took out a pair of custom leather shoes from the shoe box, held them in her hand and watched Simon change into her trousers. Seeing him silent, she bent her lips: "What's wrong?"

"I thought you would let me bully others."

"I'm not Jenny, I won't let you bully others."

"Aren't you Jenny?"

"no."

"That wasn't what you said last time."

“Last time was last time.”

Simon put on his trousers, took the leather shoes from his female assistant, sat on a leather chair and started changing shoes, saying, "So, you earthlings are really uncreative to name them. In the future, the right to naming children will belong to me."

The female assistant took away Simon's trousers and shoes and said, "You can get a special one first and I'll listen."

"You just said where will we go tonight?"

“Seattle.”

"This name is good."

"What?"

“Seattle, Seattle Westeros.”

The female assistant was about to put the leather shoes in her hand into the shoe box just now, but when she heard this, she blinked and turned her tone and joked: "You can give this name to Jenny's child in the future, and she will definitely be very happy."

"Yes, just give this Jenny in front of you."

"I don't want it."

"No, I'm dad, I have the final say."

"I suddenly don't want to go to Seattle tonight, I'm going, well... Hawaii."

"No, I can only go to Seattle, and I can only call Seattle. I am my dad, I have the final say."

“…”

Regarding children's questions, they are actually a bit sensitive.

After Simon and Janet got married, they have been trying hard to have a little guy. But after half a year of busyness, Janet's belly has not moved. Simon actually has some expectations in her bones that can give birth to a group of super rich second-generation bastards to turn the world upside down.

However, this kind of thing is not urgent at all.

During the last time she was in the cabin in Tasmania, the female assistant actually talked about this with Simon. She hoped that she could have a child when she was 30 years old. Even if she had no name, it didn't matter if she followed her surname and had no name. Simon agreed. Of course, the child naturally had his surname Westeros.

Simon talked to Janet about this, but the woman didn't say anything, but she bit Simon's ear several times that night, almost holding it in her mouth when she was dreaming.

After changing clothes, Simon and the others had dinner at the internal restaurant of the company in the administrative district, and it was already dark.

Because the main building and interior decoration are more complicated than other buildings in the cinema, the large event center in the second-floor office area of ​​Daenerys Cinema has finally been opened for use recently. The celebration party that won the Venice Golden Lion Award at the intersection of life can be said to be the first large-scale gathering since the event center was opened.

It is said to be to celebrate the Golden Lion Award in "The Intersection of Life", but in fact it is considered a comprehensive celebration after the end of Daenerys Entertainment's summer vacation.

Not only the team of "The Intersection of Life", Daenerys Entertainment was invited to create the main creators of films such as "The Love of Man and Ghost", "The Talented Ninja Turtles", "Sleeping with the Enemy", "The Hands of Shaking the Cradle" and "The Pretty Beauty" that have just been successful in this summer.

As of late September, "The Pretty Beauty" on the Valentine's Day schedule at the beginning of the year has officially been removed from the North America, and the film's local box office finally reached US$178 million. Moreover, the cumulative overseas box office of "The Pretty Beauty" is even better than that of North America, and has recently exceeded the US$200 million mark.

According to Daenerys Entertainment Distribution Department, the global box office of "Pretty" is expected to reach $450 million.

A $10 million investment can recover $450 million in just the global box office. Even though Daenerys Entertainment has created many miracles in recent years, such box office results have also amazed the whole of Hollywood.

However, this is not over yet.

At the beginning of the summer season, the fantasy romance film "The Love of Man and Ghost" produced by Daenerys Entertainment was once again popular without realizing it. When the tear-jerking plot was crazily harvesting countless audience tears, the film was released for more than three months and the box office also steadily increased.

From the start of the painting on June 1 to Thursday on September 20, in 16 weeks, the cumulative local box office of "The Love of Man and the Ghost" has reached US$181 million, successfully surpassing "The Pretty Beauty". Moreover, the single-week box office of "The Love of Man and the Ghost" still reaches US$5 million, and there is almost no suspense to hit the 200 million US dollar mark.

Judging from the feedback from the overseas distribution market of "The Love of Man and Ghost" that has gradually begun recently, the box office performance of this film in the overseas market is no less than that of "The Pretty Beauty".

Therefore, the two movies, "The Pretty Beauty" and "The Love of Man and Ghost", are expected to bring more than 900 million US dollars in global box office revenue to Daenerys Entertainment, which is comparable to "Batman: The Moment of War" led by Simon at the end of last year.

Excluding all costs, the box office profit scale of these two top-notch romance movies will not be less than US$300 million. The subsequent derivative revenue, video tape revenue and TV broadcast revenue of the film, although it means a long collection cycle that lasts several years, the expected revenue can reach about twice the box office profit of the film.

It is this series of well-invested top-selling projects that support the 10 billion US dollar valuation of Daenerys Entertainment given by Forbes magazine.

In addition to "The Pretty of the Wind" and "The Love of the Man and the Ghost", the three films "Teenagement of the Ninja Turtles", "Sleeping with the Enemy" and "The Hand of the Cradle" were all considered a great success. Among them, "Teenagement of the Ninja Turtles", which has accumulated a total box office of US$119 million, together with "The Pretty of the Wind" and "The Love of the Man and the Ghost", it is destined to be among the top ten movies in Daenerys Entertainment's 1990 box office rankings.

The film produced by Daenerys Entertainment has performed so well in the box office this summer, which is obviously more worthy of celebration than "The Intersection of Life" which just won the Venice Golden Lion Award.

However, the hundreds of guests from all walks of life who attended the party tonight in the cinema event hall were more of them for a young man.

Everyone knows that Simon Westeros is the hand of God who created all the glory of all the present moment.

Moreover, the Forbes US 400 list released at the beginning of the month, Simon Westeros's personal net worth of $21 billion has made his influence in Hollywood even more impressive.

An interesting thing has spread in the circle during this period.

Los Angeles' Premiere magazine has been discussing the production of a list of Hollywood powerhouses since the first half of this year, and Simon Westerobe was the unquestionable first person. However, when Forbes's wealth list was released this year, Premiere magazine simply canceled its plan to produce this list.

Because, some guy on the list is so dazzling.

Everyone knows Simon Westeros, and everyone will only see Simon Westeros.

As for the people who ranked second, third, fourth, sixty, seventy, eighty or ninety... they are not as well-known as John Kruger, Warren Buffett and others after Simon Westeros on Forbes Wealth List. Therefore, even if these people are listed one by one, few people will care at all.

Since no one cares, it doesn't make much sense to list such a list.

In the hall.

Columbia Pictures CEO Jung Peters, who was chatting with Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, was looking forward to joining their own film, heard his girlfriend leaning into her ear and saying something, and immediately raised her glass to the Willis and walked towards the entrance of the hall.

At the same time, the crowd in the entire hall seemed to suddenly feel some powerful attraction, and a clear commotion occurred.

Although everyone knew that Simon Westeros must have arrived, there were more than 600 guests in the hall at this time. Even if they were restless, they would not be able to flow over together.

Therefore, most people quickly calmed down again or pretended to calm down, and only a small number of guests who thought they were qualified to gather around Simon Westeros moved.

Simon was wearing the black Armani suit he had put on before dinner, and the female assistant was in a simple white long dress. The two appeared side by side in the hall, with a very obvious CP feeling.

However, Simon is no longer a bachelor after all, and the current occasion is too public. Therefore, the female assistant did not hold Simon's arm, but stood by Simon's side slightly as a real assistant, occasionally coming over to remind him of the identity of some guests who came forward to say hello.

"This is Barbara Brocky, and her half-brother Michael Wilson."

I just chatted with Fox Films president Joe Ross, and saw a strange couple walking side by side. When I noticed Simon's doubts, the female assistant quickly reminded her softly.

Just introducing the names of the two, Simon understood their identities.

The heir to the Brockley family who holds half of the copyright of the 007 series and has long controlled the production rights of this spy series.

Everyone shook hands and said hello, and Barbara Brocky, who was obviously more talkative, talked about the latest 007 movie.

MGM has stabilized, and the copyright dispute of 007 has been resolved smoothly. The Brockley family and MGM management can now devote themselves to the production of "007: Golden Eye", which has already completed the script.
Chapter completed!
