Daenerys Cinema, Malibu, Los Angeles.

Jet Lee took his agent Jeremy to the No. 1 office building in the Cinema Administrative District. Two other Hollywood filmmakers Doug Reman and Tony Gilroy whom they often met during this period have arrived and are waiting in the lounge outside Simon's office.

It's Thursday afternoon, July 25th.

The few people on the scene will have 30 minutes to meet Simon Westero at the next 5 o'clock.

It is already off work at 5 pm, but Simon Westeros can arrange work at this time, so naturally no other people have any opinions.

Seeing Jet Lee arrive, several people greeted each other enthusiastically. Seeing that the meeting is still a few minutes away, they discussed a project that was being negotiated recently. The idea proposed by a young tycoon himself has been finalized in advance. The English name is simple and clear, "Taken".

If translated into the name that Simon remembers later, it can be said to be famous, "Hurricane Rescue".

Simon was not satisfied with the several ideas provided by the New World Film team around Jeter Lee some time ago, so he took the initiative himself again. Now he certainly doesn't have time to write the script himself, but just provides a general idea. In those days, Disney, controlled by Vivendy, announced several of his own bombshells. Among them, "The Fifth Element" collaborated with Luc Besson, which reminded Simon of the action film "Hurricane Rescue" starring Liam Neeson.

Luc Besson, known as the French "Spielberg", has two obvious personal tendencies. The films directed by himself are quite thoughtful, such as "The Blue Sea and Blue Sky", "The Fifth Element", "This Killer Is Not Cold", etc. The screenwriter's works are often Luc Besson-style assembly lines, "Taxi Express", "Fate Express" and "Hurricane Rescue".

Of course, occasionally the two sides will overlap, and there are cases of success and failure, such as "Super Body" and "Anna".

Among them, "Hurricane Rescue" is definitely the most successful series on Feisong assembly line. Since I thought of it, Simon took it casually, after all, it was an assembly line. It was a slight change and it was not inconsistent with Jet Lee.

In fact, Luc Besson and Jet Lee had a collaboration, which was the "Kiss of the Dragon". However, the commercial performance of this movie is very average and is not within Simon's consideration.

Lounge indoor.

The few people who arrived in advance chatted for a while. Danny Morris, president of New World Pictures, arrived at the time. Girl A also came to inform and everyone came to Simon's office together.

Returning from Ukraine on Tuesday, Simon immediately devoted himself to the Westeros system that he would never finish as long as he wanted.

Before the five o'clock meeting, Simon had just finished a conference call with AOL, which was the result of the issuance of US$3 billion corporate bonds a few days ago.

The financing went very smoothly.

$3 billion in corporate bonds, 10-year and 20-year, each accounted for half. Although the interest rates were lower than the industry average during the same period, relying on the hot development momentum of the United States Online and the credibility of the entire Westeros system, these bonds were quickly subscribed by investors around the world after their release.

Moreover, during the entire process, AOL only paid the commission cost of 1.3% of the financing amount this time, equivalent to US$39 million, which is also far lower than the industry level.

This is the result of major underwriters rushing to give the greatest discounts to ensure the Westeros system, a major customer.

You should know that apart from the number of large-scale bond issuances and Verizon IPOs that have been finalized in the second half of the year, the entire Westeros system has countless small-scale financing operations. With such a large scale, no investment bank will do its best to win over such a huge customer, whether it is Wall Street in the United States or the Financial City in London.

In the final analysis, the current new technology wave market is too hot.

Some time ago, after Igret's market value exceeded 400 billion and became the first company with a market value of US$400 billion, everyone found that the Nasdaq market not only showed no sign of peaking, but still had a strong uptrend. It seemed that there was a momentum to directly create a giant or even several trillion-dollar market value.

With history seriously changing, even Simon can't tell that this time the Nasdaq index will eventually go far.

Seeing Jet Lee and others enter the door, Simon stood up and shook hands with everyone one by one, and then sat down in the reception area.

Simon personally finalized three new versions of "Hurricane Rescue" creators. In addition to Jet Lee, two Doug Reman and Tony Gilroy are also familiar to Hollywood fans in the original time and space. Both are the main creators of the "Spy Shadows" series. One is the director of the first song, and also directed "Smiths", and the other is the screenwriter of the entire series of "Spy Shadows".

The three of them are now only considered to be a hit in Hollywood, and they can be twisted together by Simon.

Simon provided creativity and instructed the three to participate in the script creation together, mainly Tony Gilroy, Doug Liman was the designated director, and Jet Lee was the leading actor and action director.

Since the main creator has been replaced, the plot naturally cannot follow the original version anymore, and in fact it changes very greatly.

And, inevitably, to make up for Jet Lee's Asian popularity flaws, the story naturally transforms into a brotherly movie mode, similar to Detective Beverly, Deadly Weapons, and the "Rush Hour" series that Jack Cheng and Chris Tucker collaborated on.

The three even discussed a three-protagonist mode.

Everyone sat down. Simon didn't talk much nonsense and said to the three people on the couch next to him: "I've read the script outline and some drafts. Your three protagonists have very good creative ideas, because they involve three types of races, and the burden on race is also very exciting. However, if we adopt this story framework, we will only get another three-person "Peak Hour". I don't know if the audience will buy it. I definitely won't. Moreover, this also deviates from the core of the creativity I gave. I need an R-level action movie that will be straightforward and play to the end. The three protagonists will definitely slow down the pace of the story. In fact, even if it is a double male protagonist, I need to take Jeter's kung fu as the core. For the next complete script creation, I want you to take what I just said. Is there any problem?"

After Simon said this, Jet Li and the other two looked at each other and nodded slightly.

Speaking of which, if the three male protagonists of black, white and yellow are adopted, Jet Lee's role will definitely be compressed. However, Jet Lee did not object during the discussion of the script. After all, he did not have enough confidence in his Hollywood debut, and it is inevitable to seek stability.

Simon roughly understood Jet Lee’s idea, but disagreed. Seeing the three of them nodded, he said, “Then, let’s brainstorm and you can also talk about your own ideas.”

After deleting the storyline of the black character, everyone discussed it and the new script framework took shape soon.

Zhao Qiang, who immigrated to the United States in his early years, got married and had children, and opened a Chinese restaurant. He welcomed his sister Zhao Min, who arrived in the United States to study and pursue another American dream. As a result, the girl was abducted by human trafficking shortly after she arrived in the United States. Her sister's disappearance caused Zhao Qiang, who had been practicing Chinese Kung Fu since childhood, to fall into a state of rampage, chasing from the United States to France, killing all over the world.

In addition, Zhao Min was abducted because Zhao Qiang, a white American best friend, Jack rashly took the girl to a nightclub. Out of guilt, Jack followed Zhao Qiang all the way to find Zhao Min, and then stared at him in various ways under Zhao Qiang's violent behavior.

The story ended successfully.

There is also a possible sequel foreshadowing.

Regarding Zhao Qiang’s happy family of three, if the film is successful and a sequel is developed, Zhao Qiang’s daughter can be kidnapped again.

All right.

Capitalists are so unstoppable.

Unlike the funny kung fu and jokes in Jack Cheng and Chris Tucker's "Rush Hour" series, what Simon wants is the hardcore violence that Jet Lee fights to the end, which can also distinguish the two kung fu stars to the greatest extent.

In addition, the core of the story and family affection can also break through the racial barriers of the characters and achieve empathy for more audiences. This is also a key factor in the success of the original "Hurricane Rescue" series compared to other assembly line action movies in Feisong.

Half an hour is not long.

Simon directly fixed the story frame, and Jet Lee and the other two discussed the action style, shooting techniques, etc., and 30 minutes passed soon.

After leaving Simon's office and parting with Danny Morris, Doug Reeman spoke first and invited the other two to a party in the circle tonight. Recently, he has become very familiar with him and several people have agreed. In addition to continuing to discuss the script, he probably understands that Doug Reeman wants to introduce some people to this project.

It's interesting to say that the three main creators, Tony Gilroy, is a client of CAA, Jet Lee is under WMA, and Doug Liman belongs to ICM.

When you notice this, sometimes it is inevitable to guess whether this is someone's way of balance.

Simon has always paid great attention to the balance between the three major Hollywood brokerage companies, and will not deliberately neglect second-tier brokerage companies to avoid the dominance of the three companies.

However, this time it was a complete coincidence. The main reason was that all three of them were Simon's special attention, and they were very suitable for the project "Hurricane Rescue". Just like Doug Lieman, although he only completed one "Full-time Prodigal Son", the filmmaker is actually a fan of Kung Fu movies, like Quentin, and he likes Hong Kong movies very much. This is also the basis for the other party to become a well-known Hollywood action film director.

Tony Gilroy is Simon preparing for the "Spy Shadows" series.

Doug Reiman invited two other two to join "Hurricane Rescue" in order to introduce friends from his own circle. Simon Westeros personally provided creative projects, and even if it was just a supporting role, Hollywood stars who were eager to stand out were enough to win the lead. Doug Reiman wanted to recommend his friends Jon Favreau or Sam Rockwell as the leading actor this time.

But if these two names are placed later and expanded, they will be a large number of them.

For example, Robert Downey Jr., who was addicted to drugs at this time, is also familiar with people like Jon Favreau under ICM. As a famous star second generation in Hollywood, Downey is a best friend with Judy Foster, who is also a second generation star second generation. There are best friends around Judy Foster. Later, Gibson was banned. Judy Foster has been trying his best to help the other party. When Downey was addicted to drugs, he was also these friends who forced the other party to a drug rehabilitation center.

Hollywood is a circle.

In fact, sometimes there is another layer of closer connection, the bed chain is also a magnificent network.

This is off-topic.

Regarding the "Hurricane Rescue" project, both CAA and WMA, all parties are watching closely.

Simon didn't care much about the operation of these private connections in Hollywood. He just needed to get the right actors to send off the "Hurricane Rescue" team, and continued to be busy until seven o'clock, and then he got home from get off work.

Janet has been a little depressed lately.

It would be fine if the man at home ran out and fooled around for more than a week, and the other one, Jennifer, accompanied the Rebels family to Atlanta to watch the Olympics and had just returned this afternoon.

Finally back.

Otherwise, she would have just left a few annoying people at home and ran away from home. Seeing things like children is a horror on earth.

When Simon returned home, he saw the female assistant who had returned to his home life and Janet, who was finally relaxed on the sofa beside the glass curtain wall watching the sunset, greeted Jennifer, who was holding Little Snow, and came to the curtain wall. Janet immediately looked like she was about to hug her.

Simon reached out to pick up the woman, but was pulled down on the sofa by Janet. Below her was a soft woman and soft coquettish act. She kissed Janet's lips and smiled and said, "Okay, isn't Jenny back?"

Janet stretched his head and bit Simon's lips and grinded his teeth a few times, then stretched out his hand to wrap Simon's waist, preventing him from getting up, feeling the man's heavy pressure, and hummed a few comfortably: "Dad wants me to have two more children, so I don't want them. The child is so scary."

Simon wanted to tilt his body to prevent all the total amount from falling on Janet, but was stopped by the woman, so he had to keep his posture: "Then don't give birth, don't listen to the old man."

Janet said a few hmm, then opened her eyes and stared at Simon: "But I know Jenny actually wants children, she only has Nick."

"Did you remember something wrong?"

"Um?"

"Nick?"

"It's Nick, Syl is so smart, how could it be that I didn't give birth to it?"

"All right……"

Janet shook her head successfully and then said, "I mean, in a few days we will go to Australia for vacation, you and Jenny can try to have another one."

"Actually, I think it's very troublesome to have too many children."

Janet pouted with disdain: "You haven't even cared about it, what's the trouble?"

There is a reason for women’s complaints.

In fact, there are so many servants in the family. If Janet didn't want to be tired by herself, she wouldn't have to do anything in the past few days. Although she complained, in fact, the female assistant was not there, Janet was still very dedicated to the children, otherwise she wouldn't have been so tired.

It was Simon, the real standard hand-off manager.

This statement cannot be refuted, and Simon just smiled.

Janet glanced at him and said, "Actually, I know you just lied."

"Um?"

"You want more kids, too," Janet said, adding, "You don't have to raise them anyway."

"I'm wronged."

"How could a guy who advocates genetic instinct theory not want his genes to be spread to the greatest extent," Janet said, holding Simon's face and looking at each other: "Am I right, little bastard?"

Simon acted as he opened his mouth to bite the woman's little hand. Janet was not afraid and hugged Simon's head firmly to prevent him from changing the subject.

I send a question, and I can't answer it.

After a small stalemate for a moment, Janet suddenly showed a vicious smile with obvious desire to try: "Little bastard, you can do this if you want."
Chapter completed!
