Chapter 408 (1/2)

Seven awards, including best film and best director for dancing with the wolf, best supporting actress and best original script for ghost, best heroine for ten days in danger, and best animated short film Oscar for Pixar 3D animation little lion, are the cumulative gains of danelis entertainment films at the 61st Oscars awards ceremony.

If other honorary awards are not included, danielis Entertainment's 11 major awards in total account for just half of all 22 Film Awards. Like the Golden Globe Awards in January, danielis entertainment has become the biggest winner of this year's Oscars.

Simon hasn't been interested in any party lately. However, as a boss, both feeling and reason need to be revealed at the celebration party.

Arrive with Sophia at the Gucci theme party at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. It's nearly 10 o'clock.

Shuttling through the party crowd to congratulate tonight's winner, Simon quickly came to a middle-aged man who was chatting with John lassett and ED catmoore.

The middle-aged man's name is Roger Ellis. He is a director and screenwriter of animation films poached from Disney by Pixar Animation Studio. He has been involved in Disney's ”Adventures of Olivia” and other films before, and he is also the director of tonight's award-winning 3D animation short film ”little lion”.

In the original time and space, Roger ailles happened to be the director of Disney's 2D version of the lion king.

From the end of 1988 to now, Pixar has been developing animation technology related to the lion king for more than two years while producing toy story.

The little lion, which won the gold medal tonight, is the embodiment of Pixar's technology development achievements in the past two years.

The short five minute film, through the short adventure of a little lion living on the prairie, shows the magnificent African prairie scene and animal hair rendering technology in 3D animation mode.

Now, we have successfully won the Oscar for the best short film, which is enough to prove that Pixar's technology has reached the level of making a 3D version of the lion king, and the film will be officially launched in the near future.

Simon congratulated Roger ailes on winning the prize and said, ”I'll take time to see the storyboard demo of the lion king in the next few days. Roger, it's a gift for Jennie. If you screw it up, my wife will be very angry.”

Although it's just an Oscar for best animated short film, Roger Ellis is still very excited tonight. Hearing this, he immediately confidently said, ”Simon, I promise you, this will definitely be a wonderful story.”

Simon laughed, turned to John lassett and said, ”John, how long will toy story take to finish? You've overspent a lot?”

In the initial plan, Simon hoped to finish toy story with $30 million.

However, perhaps due to the natural perfectionism of any artist, ”Toy Story” is estimated to be completed in a few months, but the team led by John lassett has spent 33 million dollars.

Despite Simon's smile, John lassett was nervous.

Pixar Animation is definitely the most ”bread and butter” Department of danielis entertainment.

Since it was bought by Simon in 1988, other departments of the company have been thriving for more than two years, but Pixar Animation has only spent money but has no output.

Therefore, everyone knows that toy story is a backwater battle for the Pixar team. If it fails, even if there is another chance for the lion king, the Pixar team will not have a good time in the next two years.

After a moment's deliberation, John lassett said, ”two months, Simon, give us another two months.”

Toy story is scheduled for November at the end of this year. In fact, there is plenty of time. However, if the project continues for one more month, it will definitely be a huge extra expense. Naturally, the earlier the project is completed, the better.

Simon pays attention to Pixar's progress every month. He is very satisfied with the effect of the completed Toy Story sample film, so he is not worried.

The first 3D animated film will inevitably encounter all kinds of problems. Considering the profit prospects of the project, Simon can barely tolerate the overspending behavior of Pixar team.

However, Simon will not show this indulgence, he still beat his mouth.

After chatting with John lassett and others for a while, Simon looks at her and confirms that all the people who should say hello have already said hello, so he plans to leave.

Just as she and her assistant arrived at the door of the party hall, Ella doichman came over with some Asian faces.

Coming to Simon, Ella doichman explained, ”Simon, they want to say hello to you.”

Among the nominations of danielis Entertainment Tonight, another one, Ju Dou, was nominated for best foreign language film, which is also the first time across the ocean to be nominated for best foreign language film.

Simon initially indicated that doichman would pay more attention to Asian films, but he didn't pay too much attention to ”Ju Dou”.As a result, the film did not win a small gold medal.

Looking at a few celebrities in front of him, Simon smiles and shakes hands with them one by one: ”Hello, Mr. Zhang. Also, Miss Gong, your performance in Ju Dou is very wonderful. ”

Simon used Chinese directly in this greeting.

Several people in front of them were surprised to hear Simon's fluent Mandarin, even Ella doechman's expression was a little different.

After all, they are people from two worlds. After a few words of politeness, Simon left the Beverly Hilton Hotel with his female assistant.

We're going back to domay point tonight.

Janet has just been pregnant, and even if women don't mind, Simon cares about her emotions in these small details, so she has never spent the night out during this period.

I left with my female assistant, just to drop her off on the way home.

Driving through downtown Los Angeles in the middle of the night, Jennifer is acutely aware of some subtle changes in Simon's mood after he said hello to the Oriental people. This is a kind of Probably can be called lonely mood, but did not say anything, just holding the man's arm gently over.

In fact, there are many secrets in their own men.

But he did not say, she will not deliberately pursue.

After returning the assistant to her uncle George Norman's house, Simon did not stop and continued to return to Malibu.

The next day, as usual, was about this year's Oscars.

Dannilis entertainment won half of the small gold, naturally become the focus of hot media.

Fortunately, although there are some politically correct factors, dancing with wolves, which won seven awards, has not caused much controversy. On the contrary, many media have noticed that some other excellent films produced by danielis entertainment have not been nominated.

In addition, some people have noticed Simon's ”Absence” at this year's Oscars.

It's not just the absence of the Oscars, but Simon didn't get any nominations related to him at this year's Oscars. For a moment, some media began to speculate whether Simon was going to quit.
