Chapter 276 (1/2)
Santa Monica.
At Denise entertainment headquarters, Simon is saying goodbye to Kevin Costner, Jessica Langer, Michael Blake and others. Dancing with the wolf will start shooting next month, and everyone has just finished a production meeting.
With Simon's support, ”dancing with Wolves” will continue to be directed and starred by Kevin Costner himself, who will also be a nominal producer. Last year, Jessica Langer, who worked with danielis entertainment on steel magnolia, plays the heroine ”standing fist dance.”.
Compared with the original, the new film has been greatly improved in CASS.
Although Jessica Lange has several Oscar nominations and is also the best actress winner in 1983, her film remuneration has not been high. She doesn't play many roles in ”standing fist dance” and is more inclined to play the role of a female partner. Her asking price is only $1 million.
With the success of bodyguard, Kevin Costner has established himself as a leading actor in Hollywood. However, the two sides had already signed a contract before ”bodyguard”, and he took the director and the actor's total remuneration of $6 million this time.
Considering that the film may involve Hollywood's most difficult animal and child scenes, as well as a lot of wild scenes, Simon has provided a budget of 25 million dollars for the project, which is also higher than the original.
Now that he has enough confidence in dancing with wolves, Simon is not stingy on budget.
Of course, the budget is limited to $25 million.
Simon has always attached great importance to the budget control of the film, and set an example. Batman uses a lot of new technologies and special effects. The late stage of the film is nearing completion, and there is no sign of overspending.
In the hall on the first floor of the headquarters, Simon saw off Kevin Costner and Michael Blake, shook hands with Jessica Langer, who was carrying a satchel, and said, ”see you next time, Jessie.”
Jessica Langer shook hands with Simon and asked, ”aren't you going to the jonathons' party this evening?”
Simon nodded and said, ”definitely.”
Today is July 14, Friday.
On Wednesday, wma announced another major personnel change for the old talent agency. Norman Broca, the company's president, left, and Jonathan Friedman, its vice president, took over the new position of president and joined the board of directors.
Although the schedule is one month different, ”bodyguard” and ”supernatural” now, if we apply this sentence to Simon westlow, ”he can see ghosts,” then many things that puzzled us in the past have been explained. In theory, Simon westero, who grew up in a welfare home, can't have the opportunity to learn music, painting, movies, foreign languages and other skills. For a child at the bottom of the society, even if he works hard and lacks resources, it's obviously impossible to complete these tasks. ”
”But what if it wasn't humans who taught him this, it was ghosts?”
”It all makes sense at once.”
”I even think that Simon westero's sudden mental breakdown three years ago may have something to do with it.”
”Then westero came to Los Angeles and immediately became a movie genius.”
”For an 18-year-old who may not have seen a few movies from childhood, it's totally incredible. But what Los Angeles lacks most is obviously filmmakers. By analogy, after more than half a century of accumulation in this city, ghosts proficient in various film skills should be enough to form a huge army. With the help of a group of elite ghosts, westero can easily become a ”movie genius.”
“……”
“……”
The article is very long, Simon also read with relish, came to his office door forgot to push the door in.
Leaning against the door to finish reading the press release in his hand, Simon looked up and noticed that Jennifer's face was still strange. He turned his eyes and looked at the air on the right side of the female assistant. He whispered in a faint voice: ”Nate, our secret has been discovered.”
Because she read this news release in advance, Jennifer was a bit of a substitute. At this time, listening to Simon's words, she subconsciously looked to her left and felt that half of her body was hairy and goose bumps were oozing out.
Simon saw that the female assistant was really frightened by herself. He put out an index finger with a smile and scratched it gently on her white neck when she turned her head.
When Simon cuts her neck, Jennifer reacts, and her left side is slightly hot.
The combination of cold and heat makes the face red.
She stares at Simon discontentedly, sees him push the door and walk into the office, and Jennifer chases him in again. When the man sits down behind his desk, she asks, ”well, do you want to call the Los Angeles Times to take it down?”
