Chapter 472 Layout

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2" will be released next month. As the actress of the film's heroine, April O'Neal, although it is just a vase in this movie, mainly four Turtles, Nicole Kidman took a week off from the set of "Midnight Bell" far away in Melbourne, Australia, when the Oscars were approaching.

The Oscars in this era generally have more than 40 million viewers, second only to the annual Super Bowl.

This year, two Daenerys Entertainment's key films, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2" and "Midnight Bell", have been released. Whether it is for maintaining personal fame or film promotion, the Oscars are required.

Of course, Nicole Kidman was also willing to do this kind of running around.

Too many men and women who are mingling in Hollywood may not be able to sit in the Oscars hall for the rest of their lives.

When she returned to Los Angeles on March 25, WMA also arranged a series of other work schedules for her.

Daenerys Cinema.

It is Friday, March 27th.

In the morning, I attended a script audition at the MGM headquarters in Century City. After lunch, Nicole Kidman hurried to Daenerys Cinema in Malibu.

The image design of Poison Ivy Girl was confirmed last month. While Nicole came back from Australia, Simon wanted to see the role effect after she put on makeup herself.

After the total box office in North America exceeded the $200 million mark at the end of January, "The Flash" has accumulated a total box office of $251 million as of yesterday. The single-week box office of the film from March 20 to March 26 has also dropped to $1.78 million. It is expected to be down around Easter next month, with the total local box office of about $255 million.

Overseas, "The Flash" performed even better. The box office of all the ticket stores that have been released have accumulated a total of US$363 million in more than three months. With the continued overseas release, it is only a matter of time before "The Flash" has accumulated more than US$400 million overseas.

The global box office is more than $650 million, and even if it cannot be compared with the two "Batman", such a box office result is enough to make other Hollywood studios envious and jealous.

DC Cinema Universe has sold three consecutive films, and the subsequent project plans are naturally further valued by the two companies.

According to the information recently collected by the media, Daenerys and Warner Bros. will soon officially announce the main creators of the DC Cinema Universe "Superman" and "Cyborg" projects. "Batman: The Rise of the Dark Knight" has been gossiped about too much information.

Nicole Kidman herself knows more about news that is not heard by the outside world.

For example, her Poison Ivy female character actually signed a three-piece contract.

In addition to the villain in "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises", she will also join the subsequent "Suicide Squad" series.

A guy once talked about this role, saying that if Poison Ivy Girl is outstanding enough, her popularity in the future may be no less than that of Cat Girl.

Look at Valerie Gollino's glory in Hollywood in the past two years. If the Poison Ivy Girl can really do this, Nicole believes that at least the entire 1990s, she can maintain her status as a first-line actress.

Thinking of the beginning, she had a good starting point as good as "Pulp Novel", because of some self-righteous little calculations in her heart, she almost missed her most solid backer in Hollywood.

Fortunately, it wasn't too late to react.

However, every time I remembered the experience of "Batman: The Moment of War" at the premiere of "Batman: The Moment of War" that made her drink two bottles of water in a row and then rushed to the hall to endure for more than an hour, an indescribable strange emotion lingered in my heart.

The Poison Ivy Girl took nearly 4 hours to put on makeup. After finishing her makeup, she was almost off work. However, Simon still did not show up. She just took a set of makeup photos and a video in the studio.

So it was not until six o'clock in the afternoon that Simon and Warner Bros. CEO Terry Semer appeared together.

Not only Nicole was busy with the Poison Ivy Girl all afternoon, but all day today, Simon and Semer were attending the discussion meeting of the DC Cinema Universe team, mainly to once again sort out the plot framework for the subsequent project of the DC Cinema Universe.

The DC Cinema Universe team has a dedicated office area in the Office LOFT No. 3 on the second floor of Daenerys Cinema.

In the previous three films, the intersection of the DC movie universe basically exists in the Easter eggs.

However, starting from this summer's "Wonder Woman", the entire DC movie universe will officially start fusion. According to the plot plan, this fusion will use three mother boxes as a clue to the tandem.

The first "Wonder Woman" still takes place in World War I, but the plot is very different from the Gal Gadot version in Simon's memory.

British Air Force pilot Steve Trevor accidentally crashed into Paradise Island, breaking the tranquility of the Amazons who have been escaping for hundreds of years.

Learning that war is taking place in the human world outside Paradise Island, it was discovered that Steve Trevor accidentally collected similar information to the mother box that triggered wars among various races in the history of Amazons. Queen Hippolyta decided to send her daughter Diana Prince and Steve Trevor to leave Paradise Island together in an attempt to retrieve the mother box to avoid a greater disaster.

Diana eventually defeated Ares, the god of war who used the mother box to kill humans, and brought the first mother box back to Paradise Island.

Then, retrieving all the legendary three mother boxes became Diana Prince's ultimate mission.

The second mother box will appear in the 1993 summer season.

Clark Kent's biological parents used the energy of the mother box to send their newly born son away from the soon-to-destruction Krypton, and the second mother box also followed him to Earth.

In the plot setting, after an adult Clark Kent fights with General Zod, the mother box falls into the hands of humans, which triggers the plot of "Cylinder" scheduled to be released at the end of 1993.

The father of rugby player Victor Stone, Silas Stone, happens to be part of the mother box research team.

Victor was seriously injured and dying in a car accident. In order to save his son, Silas Stone personally used the energy of the mother box to turn Victor into a half-human and semi-mechanical biochemical human.

Because he did not understand the role of the mother box, Stone accidentally created the villain "Grid" series in the process of being saved.

The story ends with the acceptance of his biochemical state of Cyborgs and defeating the grid, but the second mother box was accidentally stolen and fell into the hands of Lex Luthor, a metropolitan entrepreneur who has been paying attention to the Superman incident. This mother box has also become an important clue in "Batman vs. Superman".

At the same time, the loss of the mother box triggered the federal government to secretly form the "Suicide Squad" in an attempt to retrieve the lost mother box.

The third female box appears in the summer of 1994 in "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises".

The Joker, who received the ability to be blessed by Batman, was eventually defeated by Batman. Diana Prince, whose personal mission was to retrieve all three mother boxes, also appeared in this film, but did not reveal his true identity, but in the end he quietly took away the third mother box.

Subsequently, the second mother box was lost and triggered by "Suicide Squad", which was confirmed to be at the end of 1994. The result of the story was that the "Suicide Squad" was initially formed, but the mother box brought by Superman from his planet was still not retrieved.

Next, "Batman vs. Superman" will be scheduled for 1995.

Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman fight against Lex Luthor who uses the mother box to transform into an alien species.

The setting of alien alien species is actually similar to the Day of Destruction.

However, the major event of "Superman's Death" in the DC Comics series has not yet happened, and the Day of Destruction has not been born. The original time and space will only launch this major event by the end of this year.

Therefore, in the story setting of "Batman vs. Superman", Lex Luthor wanted to use mother box technology and Kryptonian genes to transform himself into a biochemical man who is more powerful than Cylinder, but he turned into a monster similar to Day of Destruction.

When the story of "Batman vs. Superman" ended, Wonder Woman finally found the last mother box, and all three mother boxes were stored in the Amazonian paradise island.

Summer in 1996, Justice League.

The Steppenwolf invaded and took away the three mother boxes guarded by the Amazons.

Superheroes such as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, and Catwoman gathered all over the line to form the Justice League to fight against the Steppenwolf Army.

Simon and Semer watched Nicole's Poison Ivy Jurchen makeup and camera effects together, and Semer quickly said goodbye and left.

It’s not easy to take off your makeup after four hours of makeup.

A makeup room in the Daenerys Special Effects office area.

After confirming the effect, the makeup artist began to help Nicole remove the paint on her body. Because the paint is specially made, it is not effective to directly rinse it with water. Most of the paint needs to be wiped off with a configured cleaner first.

Simon did not leave directly, sat next to him and looked at the makeup artist to help Nicole remove his makeup, and asked about the shooting status of "Midnight Bell".

Because of the distance, Australia will only send samples to Los Angeles every week.

Simon didn't know much about the specific situation of the crew.

"You know, Philip and I worked together once on "Skip Horizon". He is a very serious director. For "Midnight Bell", he is also fully aware of the effect this film needs to achieve. I will return to Melbourne next week and will be completed in two weeks at most." Nicole slightly turned his neck and asked the makeup artist to wipe the paint on his neck. While slanting his eyes, the man beside him said, "Simon, do you know the "Body Heat Edge" I auditioned for at MGM in the morning?"

Simon nodded and said, "I know, Alan Sorkin's new script, it's up to me to contact you. The heroine is very suitable for you."

Alan Sorkin is the screenwriter of the "Good People" that sold out last year. Daenerys and MGM collaborated on this project. Although the production budget finally reached 40 million US dollars due to the starring of Tom Hanks, Robert De Niro and Demi Moore, the film only received $117 million in North America. As of now, the global box office has exceeded the $200 million mark, which is a big profit overall.

With the success of "The Good Man", Alan Sorkin also joined the ranks of Hollywood gold medal screenwriters, and the new script "Body Hot Edge" has once again collaborated with MGM.

However, this time, there was no participation from Daenerys Entertainment, but MGM's sole proprietorship.

When Nicole heard Simon say that it was arranged by him personally, she was surprised and surprised first, then reacted and asked: "This project doesn't seem to be a collaboration between Daenerys and MGM?"

Without Daenerys Entertainment's participation, the box office prospects of the film seemed less secure.

Simon just smiled and said, "Yes, but the script is still good, and you must know the situation of MGM now, it's the same for cooperation or sole proprietorship."

In the memory of "Body Heat Edge", the heroine is Nicole Kidman.

Simon doesn't remember the box office data of this film, but it can be confirmed that the market performance is not bad.

Moreover, compared to "The Good People", "Body Edge", which does not intend to use a heavy-duty lineup, the budget for "Body Hot Edge" is only $20 million, and even if it really fails, MGM can afford it.

After shelving the 007 series, MGM's plan for the next few years was to carefully produce a batch of medium and low-cost commercial films, and Simon would also appropriately stuff a few "dark horses" into it. At the same time, MGM would also try to deal with distribution, and get the project from Hollywood second- and third-tier film companies to be purely agent distribution.

Simon's ultimate goal was to slowly restore its vitality to the great film company that had been experiencing the turbulence and decline of the 1980s.

Only after two or three years have passed, Simon will make the next arrangements for the company.

Nicole's eyes flashed slightly when she heard Simon say this, and she stopped hesitating.

He already owns the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" series, "Midnight Bell" and Poison Ivy female characters. Even if "Body Heat Edge" fails, it will not have much impact on her.

What's more, this was arranged by Westeros himself.

She had promised to be ‘obedient’. Although she didn’t know if he still remembered it, she did not intend to go against the man’s wishes.

Following the makeup artist's position, Yu Guang noticed the man's wrist raising his watch. Nicole thought for a while and asked, "Do you want to have dinner together later?"

Simon shook his head and said, "There has been arrangements for Marvin Josephson's cocktail party. Do you want to come together?"

Nicole hesitated for a moment and nodded quickly.

Although she is an artist under WMA, it seems a bit inappropriate to go to the house of ICM founder Marvin Josephson, but if she is with Westeros, there will definitely be no problem.

The two female makeup artists who were all pretty good-looking around Nicole, who were surrounded by Nicole and helped her wipe the paint on her body were a little envious when they heard this. They just threw some hints at the boss beside her, but the other party did not respond.

As for the chat content of the big boss and Nicole Kidman just now, they must pretend that they didn't hear it.

First of all, there is no important gossip, such as "Midnight Bell", "Body Heat Edge", etc., which has nothing to do with them, and as for the big boss who brought Nicole Kidman to the cocktail party, it is definitely not gossip.

Secondly, if it spreads randomly, they will definitely not continue to work at Daenerys Entertainment.

25-year-old Nicole is at the peak of her appearance.

Janet is not in Los Angeles, and Simon has no other arrangements tonight, so of course he doesn't mind trying this Australian beauty tonight.

Since Nicole agreed, Simon patiently continued to wait for her to finish her makeup and specially sent someone a dress for the cocktail party. The two left Daenerys Cinema together in the dark.
