Chapter 132 (1/2)

Amy Pascal was not surprised by Simon's frequent and sudden ideas. After thinking about it, she said, ”I remember that Warner proposed to sell DC to marvel three years ago because of poor business conditions, but it was rejected. I'm not sure about the current situation. However, after the stock market crash, most big companies are restructuring their assets and reducing their debts. The cartoon industry has been on the decline since the 1970s. If you offer a sufficient price, Warner will probably agree. ”

Simon tapped his fingers on the table and imagined the magnificent scene of Marvel DC superhero universe fusion in his mind. He asked again, ”do you think Semel will call me this afternoon?”

Amy nodded and said, ”I think it's about” Lola Run ”. Orion should have mentioned it to you, too? If ”Lola Run” can win in the next award season, it will be very good for the copyright operation of both of them

”Lola Run” was painted in North America in August. Now it has passed the three-month window period, and the video can be released at any time. After Simon sold the overseas copyright to Warner Bros., with Warner's perfect international distribution network, the box office of ”Lola Run” in the overseas market in the past half year also smoothly exceeded 200 million US dollars, and then it will enter the later operation stage.

The memory of ”Lola Run” in North America basically did not get any honor, but now the situation is different.

With a global box office of $400 million, Warner Bros., one of the seven largest film companies, cooperates with Orion film, which is already good at award public relations. Coupled with the unquestionable excellent quality of the film itself, ”Lola Run” will definitely become a big hit in the next award season.

Perhaps Simon's only weakness is age.

Before that, the youngest Oscar winner for best director was 32 years old. If Simon can be 30 years old, he is likely to break the record. But now, the possibility is almost zero, and perhaps the only thing Simon can look forward to is a nomination.

I raised my wrist and looked at my watch. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

There's no call yet. Terry Semel is likely to call himself before work, maybe a dinner party invitation or something. However, Simon has already made plans for the evening, and there are other jobs to follow. If he wants to buy DC, he can only wait until the weekend or next week.

Just as the door of the conference room was knocked, Amy's assistant Vanessa looked in and said, ”Mr. westrow, Ms. Pascal, Mr. Craven is here.”

Simon and Amy stand up together, and Wes Craven comes in with a middle-aged white man in his forties who wears glasses.

Today is Friday, December 18.

Simon gave out the story outline of ”scream” in the plan yesterday. After Amy and Craven contacted, although they had not agreed to direct, Wes Craven also suggested hiring a screenwriter to write the play first to see the effect.

The middle-aged man with glasses should be the screenwriter recommended by Wes Craven.

After a brief greeting, Wes Craven said, ”Simon, Amy, this is Bruce Joey Robin. He is the screenwriter of last year's” the girl next door ”. I think we can let him try” scream. ”

Simon could hardly hide his surprise when he heard Bruce joy Robin's name.

Before working with Wes Craven on ”here comes death,” Simon learned that he directed a less successful ”girl next door” for Warner Bros. last year, but he didn't expect that the screenwriter of the film would be Bruce joy Robin.

There may not be many people who know Bruce joy Robin, but there should be few people who don't know the ghost.

Bruce joy Robin is the writer of ghost.

In the original space-time, ghost love, which was released in 1990, has not only become one of the most tearful love movies in history, but also grossed US $500 million at the global box office with a production cost of US $22 million. In addition to a series of awards nominations such as the best picture Oscar, the film is definitely a big box office success.

Simon had tried to find Bruce Joey Robin's whereabouts before, but there was no result. Now he didn't expect to meet him in such a coincidence.

This may not be a coincidence.

After all, Hollywood is still too small. Many of the people they are interested in may be close at hand, but they just haven't noticed.

He was thinking about whether he should attend more social parties in the future. After taking his seat, Simon was completely relieved of his surprise. He talked about scream as usual, and unconsciously led the topic to the direction he wanted.

Several people chatted for a while. Hearing Simon's query about his ability, Bruce Joey Robin said: ”Simon, the girl next door's box office performance is really unsatisfactory, but the script is based on the novel. I think Wes and I have done our best under the creative framework given by the studio.”

”So,” Simon said, looking at Bruce Joey Robin, ”Bruce, do you have any other scripts, creative? Although I have provided the story outline of scream, I still hope the screenwriter can be creative enough. ”Bruce joy Robin nodded and said, ”of course.”

Simon raised his hand and said, ”tell me about it.”

Bruce Joey Robin pondered for a moment and said: ”I watched the prince's revenge a few years ago. When I saw the scene of Hamlet's father telling his son to take revenge for himself after his soul was gone, I had an idea. Now the story has been well conceived, but it hasn't been written yet. Sam and Molly are a couple about to get married. One night, they are robbed on their way back to their home after watching the drama. Sam is stabbed to death by a gangster and becomes a ghost who can't communicate with normal people. He floats around Molly, but finds that his death is not an accident... ”
