Chapter 395 Don't Thank Westeros

"The Best Actress in Music Comedy Awards of this Golden Globe Awards are: Mia Farrow, "Alice", Julia Roberts, "The Pretty Beauty", Andy McDowell, "Green Card Love", Demi Moore, "The Love of Man and Ghost"; Meryl Streep, "Postcard from the Edge."

On the stage of the Hilton Hotel Ballroom.

Morgan Freeman, the winner of the music comedy category of the last Golden Globe Awards, introduced the nomination list, and smiled and tore open the envelope in his hand, took a look, and quickly said to the microphone: "The winner is, Julia Roberts, congratulations."

Warm applause rang out.

Julia Roberts, who wore a white one-shoulder evening dress tonight, stood up from the round table where he was at incredible, hugged several of the "Fengyue Pretty" creators around him, and staggered onto the stage with his skirt.

After taking the trophy from Morgan Freeman, the big mouth beauty came to the microphone and was still a little uncontrollable, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth.

The audience gave a lot of face and applause again.

"It's really, incredible, like a dream," a moment later, Julia Roberts, who is actually only 23 years old this year, finally spoke up and stuttered to the microphone and said: "First of all, I want to thank Simon. Without him, there would be nothing I have now..."

At a round table slightly behind the banquet hall, Janet heard the speech of the big-mouthed beauty on the stage, raised a finger and shook it in front of Simon's eyes, and said, "The sixth time, I'm wondering if Michael Blake, who just forgot to thank you, will he restless now?"

The award ceremony has continued until now. Including the best actress in the music comedy category that she just won, Daenerys Entertainment has won 7 major awards, including 5 movie awards and 2 TV awards. Seven awards delivered speeches, and six of the winners expressed their gratitude to Simon, only Michael Blake, the screenwriter of "Dancing with Wolves", did not mention it.

Simon reached out and tried to pinch Janet's beautiful fingertips, but the woman avoided it and didn't chase after her, and said softly: "Too many times."

I remember that there are Hollywood celebrities who were most grateful for the Oscars in the original time and space, and the top-ranked Steven Spielberg and Harvey Weinstein have accumulated only thirty or forty times over the years.

The Golden Globes naturally cannot be compared with the Oscars. However, with this momentum tonight, Simon felt that it would not take many years to create a record of the number of times he was thanked at various award ceremony.

Simon didn't want to make himself appear everywhere at all, he prefers to be the 'master behind the scenes'.

Janet knew his man's mind very well and said, "You can explain Doichman to the next party."

On the stage, Julia Roberts finished his speech, the host went on stage to warm up for a moment, and the award of the best actor in the plot category began again.

Kevin Costner has won the Best Director Award at this Golden Globe Awards, but his performance in "Dancing with Wolves" does not have many highlights, and he lost without surprise to Jeremy Irons, who performed in "Reversal of Fate".

Jeremy Irons is the actor who plays the butler Afu in the big version of Batman.

As expected, Jeremy Irons will win this year's Oscar for Best Actor Award. This middle-aged male star from the UK in his early forties has both good looks and acting skills. Unfortunately, he is not lucky. The box office of several commercial films he has participated in since entering Hollywood in the 1980s was not considered successful.

Hollywood is very superstitious.

After several consecutive movies fail, it is often difficult for actors to get high-quality projects from studios. Resources are getting fewer and fewer, and it is becoming more and more difficult to turn things around.

After the Best Actor in the Drama category, the Last Best Actor in the Drama category is followed by the Last Best Actor in the Drama category.

"Dancing with the Wolf" successfully defeated "Good Guy", "The Intersection of Life", "The Godfather 3" and "The Reversal of Fate" and won the Best Film Award in the Drama category.

According to statistics, all 13 film awards with high attention in this Golden Globe Awards, only Daenerys Entertainment won 6 films, namely the best film in the drama category of "Dancing with Wolves", Kevin Costner's Best Director, Susan Sarandon's Best Actress in the drama category, Julia Roberts's Best Actress in the musical comedy category, Best Screenwriter in the "Dancing with Wolves" and Best Supporting Actress in the Whoopi Goldberg.

Almost half of the award share is in the limelight.

Although it was a celebration party for Daenerys Entertainment, after the award ceremony, many celebrities were invited to the Malibu Daenerys Cinema.

The party held after the Daenerys Entertainment Oscar has been booked by Gucci, and the celebration party after the Golden Globes is held in the name of Egret.

The Westeros system's efforts in the Internet industry not only meant free trials of American Online and large-scale content investment from Igret, but also meant spared no effort in advertising.

The Egret website not only places advertisements on TV networks and various types of paper media platforms, but now has a spokesperson. Sandra Bullock, as a celebrity user of the Egret blog and his personal relationship with Simon, easily got this job. The third-year speech deadline was unceremonious and took away $5 million a year.

After Simon and Janet left the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, they went to Palisade's mansion and asked Janet to change into a dress before rushing to Daenerys Cinema.

After a while, I took a photo in front of the photo wall with the trademarks of Daenerys and Egret, I entered the party hall of the Cinema Event Center, which was already crowded.

Perhaps it was specially arranged to stare at it. As soon as the Simon and his wife entered the party hall, Kevin Costner brought Michael Blake, the screenwriter of "Dancing with Wolves", to greet him.

Janet listened to Michael Blake's words mixed with some trepidation expressing her joy of winning the award and her gratitude for Simon, and inadvertently threw a look of "I guessed it right" at his man.

Of course, Simon would not care about Michael Blake forgot to thank himself for his details when he won the award. If he didn't even have this amount of stomach, he wouldn't have to pass the day, so he even comforted him a few words.

When Kevin Costner and Michael Blake left, Simon asked someone to call Ella Deutschman, the head of Gaomen Films: "That's right, you say hello to the nominees' public relations, and the next Oscars, including future awards ceremony, don't thank me anymore."

Ella Deutchman was puzzled: "Simon, is there any problem?"

Simon shook his head and smiled, "No, it's what I meant just now. I don't want Simon Westeros' name to be everywhere at the award ceremony in the future, so it makes people feel like I'm manipulating the award."

Ella Deutchman finally nodded and said, "I understand."

After explaining this, Simon randomly changed the topic and asked: "So, how is the shooting progress of "Don't Love with Piano"?"

The two chatted casually for a while, and during this time, Janet saw Catherine and walked over to get together with the women.

Send Ella Deutchman away, and the female assistant quietly appears next to Simon and accompany him to socialize in the crowd for a moment. Amy Pascal comes over with another guest, but it is Steven Spielberg.

Simon smiled and went up to meet him, shook hands with Spielberg, and greeted, "Good evening, Steven."

Spielberg also smiled and shook hands with Simon, but his expression was somewhat complicated.

This young man who has risen rapidly in Hollywood in just a few years is now his boss. Spielberg was a signed director of Universal Pictures back then. After becoming famous with "Jaws", his original long-term contract was replaced by several film contracts, and he still owes a contract for three Universal movies.

Because of the promotion that year, Spielberg and two MCA leaders Lu Vasalman and Sid Himberg were very close. Daenerys Entertainment's acquisition of MCA is a foregone conclusion. Lu Vasalman and Sid Himberg were kicked out of the MCA by Simon Westeros, which made Spielberg feel even more mixed.

However, the contract must be followed.

Amy Pascal has been discussing his next directed film with Spielberg recently, which is a science fiction adaptation film called "Jurassic Park". If Spielberg wants, the project can be placed under Universal Pictures. This year, it will start filming early next year, and the schedule will be determined to be the end of 1992.

The bombshell "Captain Hawk" that worked with Colombia last year has been completed and has now entered the post-production stage.

Although the project was carefully held by Colombia, Spielberg vaguely felt during the filming of the film that the film might be a disaster, a personal Waterloo, and was exhausted by it.

Therefore, after receiving the proposal from Daenerys Entertainment, even if he showed some instinctive resistance to Simon Westeros, Spielberg still said he would consider it carefully. After all, Daenerys Entertainment's projects have always been very guaranteed in terms of box office.

Amy Pascal also promised him that as long as he took over "Jurassic Park", Daenerys Entertainment could support filming the film "Schindler's List" that he had been brewing, which recreated the World War II Jewish Holocaust.

Everyone exchanged some casual greetings. When Spielberg walked away, Simon asked Amy, "How is the conversation?"

"Steven agreed, but we have to talk to Orwitz in terms of pay," Amy said, and said: "Steven's previous movie contracts were all shared by omnichannel profits, just like Captain Hawke's 20% omnichannel profits, which Orwitz still tends to be. I have been in contact with Orwitz several times, and he was a little loose and agreed to accept a box office share agreement similar to John Hughes. However, Orwitz wants about $10 million for Steven's basic pay."

Daenerys Entertainment signed a two-film contract with John Hughes, with a salary plan of $5 million in the base salary plus a 10% local box office share. Such an agreement is actually very generous and allows filmmakers to get their due rewards in a shorter period.

In the original time and space, the Jurassic Park contract signed by Spielberg is an omni-channel share of basic salary plus 20%.

Because of the global sales of "Jurassic Park", Spielberg only took $250 million from the first part of "Jurassic Park".

After Panasonic acquired MCA, he clearly had a super-selling work like "Jurassic Park", but he still sold MCA to Sigram a few years later. A large part of the reason is that the movie lost money and almost all the losses had to be borne by Panasonic, but the movie made money, especially projects like "Jurassic Park", most of the profits were taken away by Hollywood filmmakers. Panasonic could only be the sucker in any aspect.

Simon once considered directing Jurassic Park himself. Now, he obviously doesn't have this time, so it would be more appropriate to hand over the project to the original team.

Of course, this omni-channel share contract will definitely not be considered, but will give a basic salary plus box office share agreement similar to John Hughes.

If "Jurassic Park" can still get a super high box office like the original time and space, with the agreement given by Simon, Spielberg's personal income can still reach 40 to 50 million US dollars, which is of course a sky-high price. However, Simon believes that this is worth the money, and a director who can create a global box office of 1 billion US dollars is definitely worth the price.

In comparison, the 250 million US dollars in the original time and space exceeded Simon's tolerance limit.

Simon did not express much about Orwitz's basic salary, but just nodded and let Amy continue to talk, and instead asked, "Where is the Schindler's List?"

"Steven has always been a little worried. He doesn't know how to show some emotional twists in the film, but he's very grateful for your support for this film."

Amy said this, with some different meaning on her face.

The project "Schindler's List" has been circulating in Hollywood since the 1980s and has been delayed for so many years. The original author of the film, Thomas Kennelly, often called Spielberg, complaining half-truely whether he could see the project being brought to the big screen before he died. He was already very old.

In the final analysis, "Schindler's List" seems to have no commercial potential at all in the eyes of many people, and is just a work that witnesses the history of Jews. Although the Jews in Hollywood are in groups, they will not rashly invest in such a work that is destined to be unlikely to make money.

Amy was also Jewish.

In Amy's view, Simon proposed supporting the Schindler's List project at this point when Daenerys Entertainment is about to annex the MCA, which is likely to express an attitude to the Jewish community in Hollywood and alleviate the pressure on the Jewish community that his growing power in Hollywood has brought to the Jewish community.

In fact, Simon does have this kind of mind.

Because of the living environment in previous lives, Simon was not very sensitive to racial issues in his bones.

However, after a few years of rebirth, he had to face this problem.

The Jewish power in Hollywood is indeed very strong, or the Jewish power in the entire United States is very strong.

Moreover, it is impossible to change this.

Since World War II, Jews have launched a large number of young people from all over the country to participate in the war. To the present, Jews also control powerful power in the United States. If the anti-Semitism phenomenon that happened in Germany in the United States was once the anti-Semitic phenomenon, it would be a civil war.

Simon was not afraid of Jews, and of course he didn't want this to happen the other way around.

Therefore, after acquiring MCA, investing in "Schindler's List" was a way to go. Moreover, the memory of "Schindler's List" is actually very profitable.
