Chapter 601 (1/2)
The party in the villa ends at 11 o'clock in the night, and at 11:30, the guests basically leave.
Simon himself takes Madonna, who wants to stay here after getting drunk, and goes back to the living room of the villa. The waiters team of the party company is cleaning up, and the waiters led by Naomi also join in.
Seeing Simon, girl a came over and asked, ”boss, is Miss Kirchner going to stay tonight?”
”Send her back, contact her agent tomorrow, and collect another information for me.” Simon told him to go straight up the stairs, motioned for Alison to follow him, and asked in a low voice, ”what about the play?”
Alison followed Simon and whispered, ”a lot of people should have seen it.”
Simon nodded and said, ”the room below will be cleaned carefully tomorrow, and the one that should be lost will be thrown away. Ella will come to have breakfast with me tomorrow morning, and remember to send a car to pick it up. The traffic is not convenient here. The media feedback of Four Weddings and a funeral asks Los Angeles to sort it out before noon tomorrow.”
Thinking and explaining something, they went to the third floor. After Alison finished writing the memo, Simon finally said, ”besides, let Nata come up.”
Alison agreed. Seeing Simon turning to the corridor, she subconsciously followed: ”boss, do you want me to prepare the bath water for you?”
Simon stops and turns to look at the girl behind him.
Alison regretted her words, noticed her boss's eyes, and hung her head with a guilty heart. Her white fingers were holding a small memo uneasily.
Just for a moment, the man's voice in his ear: ”this is the first time. Don't be greedy. I usually don't like to give people a third chance.”
Girl a, like a little girl who made a mistake, whispered, ”boss, I'm wrong.”
Simon said, ”go down and have an early rest.”
Looking at the man turning around again, Alison looked up and suddenly said, ”boss, if you make a mistake, you should be punished.”
Simon stopped again, turned his head and looked at the girl in a black ol suit, with elegant temperament and wonderful figure, and asked, ”are you afraid of pain?”
A girl eyelashes low convergence: ”pain in order to remember things.”
Simon nodded, ”come on.”
Said to turn back to the direction of the master bedroom.
Alison dropped her head and stepped up. She heard a slight click in front of her. It was the sound of a man's belt being pulled out. Suddenly, she felt as if her strength had been emptied.
The 10th Sundance Film Festival came to a successful end on the second day. The two films ”beating the monkey” and ”Barcelona” shortlisted by gaomen Film Co., Ltd. in the main competition unit, only ”beating the monkey” won a relatively marginal Audience Award, and other core awards have nothing to do with danielis Entertainment.
This result is not disappointing.
For Sundance, what Simon values most is the ability of this platform to cultivate new film talents. In recent years, danelis entertainment has dug up film talents, excellent scripts and finished films from Sundance, bringing much more than the significance attached to simple awards.
Gaomen film's indifference in the awards of this session of Sundance is also the result of Simon's deliberate restriction.
Even with Hollywood's most powerful public relations team and networking resources, Simon absolutely doesn't want the major film festivals to become Denise's private property, which is harmful and useless.
Of course, in the face of absolute strength, there must be exceptions.
Like this year's Oscars, and next year.
On Monday, January 31, the day after Sundance closed, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences officially announced the list of films nominated for the 66th Academy Awards.
Steven Spielberg's Schindler's list, which tells the history of the Holocaust during World War II, has become the biggest hit of this year's Oscar. It has won 12 nominations for best picture, best director, best actor and best adapted screenplay.
Not only that, Denise entertainment has set another record.
Pixar's 3D animated film ”the lion king”, after winning the Golden Globe Award for best picture in musical comedy category, has further become the first animated film in Hollywood history to win the Oscar nomination for best picture. At the same time, it has won six nominations for best picture, best screenwriter, best soundtrack and three best original songs.
One of the best screenwriters, Simon also represents another personal Oscar nomination.
In history, the first animated film that was shortlisted for the best picture Oscar was Disney's 1992 ”beauty and the beast”. Because of Simon's appearance, this animated film project abandoned by Disney has fallen into the hands of danilisi Entertainment's Pixar team, and will be made into a 3D animated version just like ”Lion King”.
This year's ”the lion king” is more worthy than ”beauty and the beast”.
As of January 27, the cumulative box office of ”Lion King” in North America has reached 286.55 million US dollars, which is just the 10th week of its release. It only takes three weeks at most to break through the $300 million box office.The Oscars before the new century are still very interested in the commercial performance of films.
As Hollywood's first domestic animated film with a box office of 300 million US dollars, if such phenomenal box office performance can not get an Oscar nomination for best picture, Hollywood will not have many films with such qualifications.
With the announcement of the Oscar nomination, from January 28 to February 3, the box office of the lion king, which once again attracted the public's attention, fell only 13% in a single week, and received another $6.75 million, totaling $293.3 million. If Denise entertainment is willing to pay for the box office, it will break through 300 million in the next week.
”The lion king” has won enough glory, and it is certain that it will break through 300 million. Naturally, there is no need to buy the box office and give others a handle.
In addition to the two most popular Oscar nominations, danielis Entertainment's other artistic film ”in the name of my father”, starring Daniel Day Lewis, has also won six nominations, including best director, best actor and best adapted screenplay.
The former ”in the name of my father” also received a best picture nomination.
This time, daenerys entertainment has won two best picture nominations through Schindler's list and the lion king. It is impossible for daenerys entertainment to ask for more. The nomination for best picture in father's name can only be abandoned.
In addition, the nominations for best actress and best supporting actor in Tina Turner's biographical film ”what do you want to do with me” and the best foreign language film in the wedding banquet were scattered. In the 66th Oscar in 1994, Denise entertainment directly produced and released the film, and the total number of nominations reached 29. This does not include Disney's ”sleepless in Seattle” and the ”sleepless in Seattle” film by China Nabbros released a variety of other nominations for films like superman.
In addition, Philadelphia story, which was originally transferred to MGM by Simon, also won five nominations including Tom Hanks' best actor.
Considering that the award is almost inevitable, it's not too much to say that danielis entertainment has monopolized this year's Oscars.
