Chapter 371 (1/2)
Simon looked at Barbara Brockley with interest. She looked at herself with her chin slightly up. She didn't respond to what she had just said. She suddenly said with a smile, ”Barbara, has anyone ever said you look like someone else?”
Barbara Brockley was in a daze.
It has been 30 years since the Brockley family took control of 007. In recent years, his father, Albert Brockley, has been getting worse and worse. He is handing over the dominance of the ace spy series to his brother and sister, and often tells them to firmly hold 007 in their hands and not allow anyone to touch it.
Simon constantly intervenes in the next 007 project during this period, and insists on replacing the current actor Timothy Dalton, which makes Barbara Brockley, who also inherits her father's strong character, instinctively feel the threat, and then there will be just a provocative question.
Unexpectedly, the young man who made her face the enemy in her bones turned the topic lightly.
Simon didn't wait for the stunned Barbara Brockley to speak again, and said: ”you must have seen the alien et. I have to say that you look like the little girl in the movie, um, Drew Barrymore. It seems that she should be a big girl now
Barbara Brockley has naturally seen Steven Spielberg's et, and certainly remembers the little girl in the film.
It's just that.
What does that mean?
”Simon, et, well, it's a really good movie. However, it seems that we are not talking about this now. ”
”I understand,” Simon nodded, and saw MGM CEO Shirley Lansing come in a hurry. When she came near, she said to Lansing, ”Barbara said I shouldn't interfere in the 007 series. In that case, I won't interfere. You can do it your own way.”
Shirley Lansing's face was a little ugly.
Simon has asked 007 series several times during this period, and she always said that the project is progressing smoothly. Unexpectedly, the broccoli brothers and sisters will suddenly pick up the casting differences that have not been settled between the two sides.
Now, Simon let go lightly, but Shirley Lansing didn't think it would end there.
At the beginning, Meg Ryan, who was just on fire with ”when Harry meets Sally”, wanted to terminate her contract with danielis entertainment, and westero also agreed to it easily.
The result!
When Simon finished speaking, she turned to meet Qiang Peters, President of Columbia Pictures. Shirley Lansing quickly followed him and tried to explain that she didn't care how westero would arrange 007 series afterwards. Even if she shelved it directly, she didn't want to affect herself.
Seeing that Simon had begun to chat with Peters, Lansing could only stand by patiently.
During the chat, Lansing obviously noticed that Simon was very interested in Peters' young girlfriend.
John Peters is in his forties this year, but his little girlfriend is very green and looks like she is in her early twenties. It's probably Latino. The girl's skin is not so white. Although she has a charming face that attracts men, it doesn't seem to be the type that westrow is interested in.
However, Shirley Lansing still remembered the girl's name.
Catherine Zeta Jones.
Simon didn't expect to meet Hollywood's famous ”old man killer” at the party tonight.
In my memory, Catherine Zeta Jones has a brilliant career in Hollywood. It's not just Jon Peters, the Hollywood gold medalist, but Catherine Zeta Jones once got along with Steven Spielberg, Sean Connery and other celebrities, and finally married Michael Douglas, 25 years older than her.
It's never easy to be in Hollywood. Even if you have body, face, acting skills and are willing to sleep with others, it doesn't have many advantages. Too many people have to come back to reality after wasting a scene.
As a result, Catherine Zeta Jones, who also has no background, is a little ”legend”.
While talking, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore joined in.
Before he knew it, John Peters turned to the film project in which he was going to invite the Willis to take part.
”This is a suspense thriller about murder caused by domestic violence. It's called fatal thought. The plot is similar to sleeping with the enemy, with murder elements added. It tells the story of a woman who helps her best friend kill her idle husband. We hope Bruce and Demi will join us and start shooting early next year. However, Demi said that the schedule may conflict with MGM's ”few good people.”
Said Jon Peters, looking at Shirley Lansing and then turning to Simon.
Simon looked back at Lansing.
The project preparation of ”few good people” is much smoother than that of ”007's golden eye”. Tom Hanks, Robert De Niro and Demi Moore have all decided to join in. The original script has also been revised and is expected to start shooting in November. The initial deadline is early August next year.At the end of the summer season, a few good people can avoid the impact of blockbusters such as Terminator 2 and Batman: the dark knight.
Demi Moore is more likely to be a man than Meg Ryan in the option contract with danilisi entertainment. She directly accepted danilisi Entertainment's offer of $2 million, and Simon was happy to give the other party some convenience.
Shirley Lansing noticed that Simon looked over and nodded, ”if we need to, we can try to put Demi in front of the year.”
Demi Moore suddenly said, ”Simon, why don't you take time to read the play of fatal thought? If you can, I don't think Peter and Qiang would mind making it into a partnership between Denise entertainment and Columbia Pictures. ”
After so many years, Demi Moore cherishes the popularity of ghost, but understands that it's good for her to keep in touch with westero.
Jon Peters heard that from Demi Moore and looked forward to it.
From the box office of sleeping with the enemy and shaking the cradle's hand, which have been released in this summer camp, if fatal thought can be included in the 10 film projects of danielis entertainment, even if half of the revenue is to be shared, the result will definitely be much better than that of Columbia Pictures.
Simon was not interested in participating in a film he had never heard of, but just refused.
After another chat, John Peters left and walked away.
However, Katherine Zeta Jones, who had just introduced herself, did not intervene. When she finally left, she obviously gave Simon a look.
