After the weekend, the time comes to the last week of June.

Prior to this, "Wonder Woman" officially started filming in the UK on June 17 last Monday.

This time, I did not choose to shoot in Australia, mainly because the origin story still follows the background of Gal Gadot's version of World War I in Simon's memory. Australia does not have similar filming locations such as London during World War I and the Amazonian Paradise Island.

Therefore, the film will be mainly filmed in two countries, Europe, the United Kingdom and Italy.

With the launch and filming of a series of films in recent months, Daenerys Entertainment's important project list in 1992 has basically been confirmed.

It is expected that in 1992, there will be four key projects produced and released by Daenerys Entertainment for a total of only four, namely "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2" in the Easter period, "Wonder Woman" in the summer period, "Home Imperial 2" in the Thanksgiving period, and "Jurassic Park" in the Christmas period.

At the same time, three film lists of Daenerys Entertainment's external cooperation have been confirmed, namely "The Last Mohicans" with Warner Bros., "The Peach Deal" with Paramount and "The Killing Moment" with MGM.

All seven films are sold in Simon's memory.

After clarifying some of the rules of the films produced by Daenerys, these seven projects have also become the focus of all Hollywood filmmakers.

"Thank you for coming here today, Sam, and Renee."

"You're welcome, Simon, this is what I should do."

"It's an honor to work with you, Steven."

The last audition for the male and female protagonists of "Jurassic Park" has finally ended.

After this period of screening, Simon and Spielberg passed the audition together today, and finally finalized Sam Neil and Renee Russell as actors of paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant and paleobotanist Dr. Ellie Steller, respectively in the film.

The original version of "Jurassic Park" sounds more like a group drama, but the couple Dr. Grant and Dr. Steller have more scenes.

Simon does not intend to make too many changes to the original Jurassic Park plot, but this time it will change some of the mistakes made by the original series.

The most important thing is to maintain the consistency of the series.

The "Jurassic Park" trilogy in the 1990s was not as good as the box office of the first one, except for the global box office of more than $900 million. In Simon's view, in addition to the serious imitation of the plot, the most important reason is the lack of coherence in the story.

In "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World", all the protagonists in the first part withdrew. Apart from the dinosaur element, it is basically another story, which largely led to the sequel's box office shrinking by half compared to the first part.

The producers did not make such mistakes again in "Jurassic World", which was restarted many years later.

The hero and heroine Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard still participated after the first song had a box office of $1.6 billion. The coherent story made the sequel's reputation subdued and still won more than $1.3 billion in global box office.

So Simon has identified at least two resident characters from the very beginning this time.

It is a pair of scientists played by Sam Neil and Renee Russell that Daenerys Entertainment will directly sign three contracts with the two.

Among the two, Sam Neil is the original actor, not many mentions.

Renee Russell replaced the original Laura Dunn.

In addition to personal factors, Simon felt that Renee Russell was more suitable for the role of a paleobotanist in terms of age and temperament.

Laura Dunn looks like he is in his thirties in the original film, and seems to be very close to Sam Neil, but in fact, this actress who looks very old is only 25 years old this year.

In my memory, Laura Dunn was able to get this role in large part because she was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress a year before the film started.

Steven Spielberg doesn't like to work with actors with a high profile. Laura Dunn, who is nominated for Best Supporting Actress in Oscars, is just right in terms of popularity and acting skills.

This time, Jurassic Park was a year ahead of schedule, and the "Furious Rose" that made Laura Dunn nominated for Best Supporting Actress has not been released yet. Just so happened that Renee Russell was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at this year's Oscar for his role in "The Good Guy" which Simon played last year.

Simon has no feelings for Laura Dunn, and Renee Russell is very suitable, so there is no need to mess with anything else.

After the audition, Sam Neil and Renee Russell left first, Simon discussed other supporting roles with Spielberg, and went to Daenerys Special Effects to check out the motion capture technology effects specially developed for "Jurassic Park".

The velociraptor in the film will be filmed this time using motion capture technology that can make the picture more vivid and vivid, instead of pure CG animation.

At the same time, motion capture technology has matured in advance and can also be applied to more other videos.

So busy until noon, after having lunch with Spielberg, Simon personally took the other party to the parking lot. Just as he was about to part, Spielberg seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "There is another small thing, Simon."

Simon saw Spielberg's expression and realized something, and smiled and signaled the other party to speak.

Spielberg also smiled and said, "About the "The Last Mohigan" you are preparing, I have a goddaughter, who hopes to try the role of the sisters in the script, among the kidnapped sisters."

"Is your goddaughter, Steven, the little girl in Alien et, Drew Barrymore?"

Spielberg shook his head and said, "No, the other one is Gwyneth Paltrow. His father and I have known each other very early and have worked together at Universal. She is 19 years old and just played a guest role in my "Captain Hawke."

So, with such a godfather, what else can others say?

Simon sighed in his heart, but there was no hesitation. He must have given this favor, so he nodded happily and said, "No problem, I will arrange it."

Michael Mann has been writing the script "The Last Mohicans" during this period. Simon has read the first draft, and the sisters don't have too many scenes.

Moreover, since he can get an Oscar winner, Gwyneth Paltrow will never be completely talented in his performance. Although he is the godfather, the other party should understand that Spielberg's favor cannot be used infinitely, and I think it will not be as neglected as Simon's memory of the background behind him.

Simon's rapid rise conceals the brilliance of older generation first-line directors such as Spielberg.

If there is no grudge in my heart, it is impossible.

Originally, with Spielberg's status in Hollywood, such a role might just require a phone call. The reason why we need to go to Simon in person is because of Daenerys Entertainment's key projects, and all the main creators need Simon to make their own decisions.

Seeing that Simon agreed so simply, Spielberg's subconscious barrier against this young man could not help but eliminate a lot.

The two continued chatting by the car for a while before Spielberg drove away.

Spielberg was sent away, and Simon turned around, and the female assistant walked over with a folder.

"American Online has just sent a revised prospectus. If you have no objection, it will be submitted to SEC tomorrow. The iPo roadshow will be officially launched on July 1 and it will be officially listed on July 12."

According to the US stock listing process, the prospectus of the US Online was submitted two months ago, and this time it was just a few changes to the details.

Simon took the document handed over by the female assistant and opened it, finding the revisions that had been marked.

After recent split and adjustment, the total share capital of AOL is roughly determined to be 150 million shares, of which Westeros holds 112.9 million shares, with a shareholding ratio of slightly more than 75%. The remaining approximately 25% of the shares belong to the companies that participated in the investment in the early stage and the management of AOL.

In addition, this time, the iPo of Ai Online will adjust the company to a dual equity structure.

The original 150 million shares belonged to Class A shares, and the upcoming 22.5 million shares belonged to Class B shares.

The voting rights of Class B stocks are only one tenth of Class A stocks.

After issuing new shares equivalent to 15% of the total share capital, Westeros' voting rights have actually been reduced by less than 1%, still reaching 74.1%.

Therefore, unless Simon voluntarily gives up in the future, almost no one will be able to seize absolute control of A. Online from Westeros, even the original shareholders who also own some Class A shares will not be able to do so.

In the revised document in Simon's hand, the main adjustment this time is the issuance price range of the United States Online.

Morgan Stanley, who is responsible for underwriting the new iPo stock, gave the valuation of US Online IPo more than two months ago at US$2.5 billion. During this period, due to the continuous explosion of US Online users and the market's expectations for US Online IPo, the initial valuation has also been continuously raised.

This revision, the issuance price period submitted by US Online is $19 to $21.

Based on the highest new stock issuance price of US$21, the valuation made for US Online is equivalent to US$3.15 billion.

With the growth rate of US Online's user base, the total number of users is expected to reach 3.5 million in the first half of 1990, and is expected to exceed 7 million throughout the year.

Based on the monthly payment amount of US$30 per user, the number of users reaches 3.5 million, and the monthly revenue of US Online can exceed 100 million, which is not the additional user growth in the second half of the year. Therefore, Simon actually feels that the valuation of US$3.15 billion is still relatively low.

However, he does not intend to increase the issuance price range any further.

Leaving the excess stock price growth potential to the market will only benefit many people for American Online and even the entire Internet industry.

You know, Cisco's IPo is also in preparation.

Cisco is aimed at IPS companies in the entire United States. Taking advantage of the rise of the Internet and the monopoly of Westeros system on World Wide Web technology, the company has actually grown faster in the past year. However, as a hardware manufacturer, Cisco's performance growth is not as obvious as that of American Online.

Simon put Cisco on the market after AOL, which was also due to this consideration.
