Chapter 409 (1/2)
In April, Simon began to turn more attention to Denise Entertainment's film business.
Batman: The Dark Knight, the most important DC film project in the universe, finished its final cut at the end of March and successfully won the PG-13 rating, which is scheduled for June 7. In the first week of April, the last two months before the film's release, there was a big rush.
In January, Warner Bros.'s flash, still produced by Simon, quietly opened in Melbourne, Australia. The shooting cycle is expected to be three to four months, with the release date of December 20 and the Christmas schedule.
Daenerys entertainment will launch next summer's ”Wonder Woman” in June.
In addition to DC's movie universe plan, because Simon delayed the production plan of Superman, the original project director Martin Campbell was loaned by MGM to shoot 007's golden eye.
Under the insistence of the brockles, who hold the 007 copyright with United States, Timothy Dalton is still the hero of the golden eye of 007. However, Martin Campbell is the original director of Brosnan's version of 007's golden eye.
Of course, famik Jensen, who has been identified as the role of wonder woman, will not play the Russian female agent who uses her long legs to kill people this time.
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. Shirley Lansing put an ”old man killer” on the final candidate list of Russian female agents and asked Simon for his opinion.
Simon doesn't think that Katherine Zeta Jones, who is a sweet girl, can perform the crazy bloodthirsty temperament of famik Jensen in the original version of 007's golden eye. Considering that MGM will soon become the business of the Johnston family, he did not accept the suggestion that Lansing might have some ”good intentions”.
Simon's attitude towards the role of the film project in hand is that if the role is suitable, he is very willing to give a few favors, but if it is not suitable, he will never joke about the investment of tens of millions of dollars.
In fact, there are many failures in Hollywood projects, which are all caused by improper selection of actors full of human relations and other factors. This proportion accounts for a very high proportion of Hollywood failed films.
Hollywood film industry system has a very strong side, and often it will be very unprofessional. It is only because of the gambling nature of film investment that success or failure seems to have a lot of luck, which conceals many unprofessional factors.
In the final analysis, Hollywood filmmakers are used to spending other people's money, and they just earn service fees.
Spend other people's money, lost will not be too distressed.
Denise entertains, but Simon spends his own money.
Because they are responsible for their own profits and losses, each project means a huge investment of several million dollars or tens of millions of dollars. Of course, we need to be more careful.
Not only Batman: The Dark Knight, but also other films about to be painted by danielis entertainment in the summer, such as Terminator 2, the end of the world and few good people, or tempering, jungle fever, problem boy 2 and family of four, which were taken over from Universal Pictures, all started in April The last stage of publicity work of summer archives.
After the Oscar, it was confirmed that Pixar had accumulated enough technology, and the 3D version of the lion king was officially launched.
At the same time, another top priority project in 1992, Jurassic Park, was successfully completed with Simon's personal intervention. In April, the project officially started the preliminary casting work, and is expected to start at the end of next year.
To sum up, Denise entertainment has released four key projects independently in 1992, namely ”Wonder Woman” and ”Ninja Turtle 2” in the summer season, and ”kid at home 2” and ”Jurassic Park” in the end of the year.
Simon has previously extended the development cycle of the DC movie universe project, which is not without benefits.
If we keep the rhythm of two movies a year, projects such as Jurassic Park are likely to compete directly with DC movies, which often result in both sides losing.
As for another project that Simon promised Spielberg, ”Schindler's list”, because of the ample time this time, Spielberg is no longer in a hurry to shoot back-to-back with Jurassic Park. The film is expected to start shooting in the second half of next year and be released in 1993.
In addition, other foreign cooperation projects of danielis entertainment are also on Simon's recent agenda.
Four of the original 10 films have been released so far, and three more will be released in this summer program, namely Terminator 2, the end of the world and few good people.
The remaining three, one belongs to MGM and the other two belong to Warner Bros.
Last year, in order to get paramount to give up blocking danielis Entertainment's acquisition of MCA, Simon promised the other party three cooperative films.
If you add in Simon's director contract with Disney, Denise Entertainment's foreign cooperation projects have reached a total of seven.Finally, this paper combs the script and novel copyrights that dannilis entertainment has bought in the past year. In addition to several key IP addresses such as mission impossible and Jurassic Park, dannilis entertainment has also obtained two other copyrights published in 1990.
Both of them are comics. They are man in black, a science fiction cartoon written by a cartoonist named Lowell Cunningham, and Shrek, a children's cartoon.
According to statistics, Denise Entertainment's current copyright library includes the whole Marvel superhero system, DC's Superman, Batman and wonder woman, the whole Thor King's China series, mission impossible and the spy series, and the ”Thunderclap baby” series, which bought the copyright from Columbia Pictures, originally from Roger Coe, the king of B-class films The series of speed and passion, Forrest Gump's true story, Jurassic Park, man's man in black, Shrek, ninja turtle, mummy and so on are included, All of the original time and space hoarded are the copyrights for sale, which has been enough for danilisi entertainment to develop for more than 30 years.
In terms of animated films, danilisi entertainment also included Pixar, which has developed such popular 3D animated films as toy story, Nemo and monster power company in the original time and space in advance.
It can be said that even if Simon completely starts to be a shake off manager now, even if only half of all these copyrights are as successful as Simon remembers, the film business of Denise entertainment will be strong enough in Hollywood for a long time.
What's more, Simon won't let go of course. After several years of careful building, danielis entertainment has enough team to support the development of these precious copyrights.
I spent a month in various film studios, production meetings, post production meetings, actor auditions, publicity meetings and other film affairs, and the time soon came to May.
This year's Cannes Film Festival will open on May 9. Denise entertainment still has two films shortlisted in the main competition unit, namely, Cohen brothers' new film ”Barton Fink” invested by gaomen film and Spike Lee's new film ”Jungle Fever” which will be released in this summer release from Universal Pictures.
Ella doichman led the team to Cannes a week in advance.
Simon would like to take this opportunity to go to Europe with Janet for a rest.
However, Janet is less than three months pregnant. The doctor's advice is that it's better not to fly. The woman plans not to fly during her pregnancy. This is actually one of the reasons why she lets cersei capital management go.
Although she no longer takes care of cersei capital, Janet doesn't have nothing to do all day long, she just uses her mind as little as possible.
Originally only used to turn seven small brains, now reduced to three.
Domay point manor.
It's May 5th, Sunday.
