Chapter 1069 (1/2)
Bob White was not stunned by Simon's remarks, and his tone was a little sour: ”the problem is, Simon, most of your so-called” tent poles ”in recent years have come from danielis entertainment, which is very unfair, isn't it?”
”You're wrong, Bob. Compared with other fields, the competition in Hollywood is the fairest. As long as you can make a good enough film, the audience will pay for it. Danielis entertainment has only done better in recent years. We have not stopped other studios from producing excellent films. This is someone else's problem. ”
”Well,” Bob White said without any further argument or detour, ”Simon, I'm here in Los Angeles in the hope that Warner Bros. can develop more superhero movies in addition to the existing DC series.”
Simon winced: ”if I remember correctly, Bob, Terry should be in charge of Warner's film business.”
”Yes, but it's clear that Terry is not doing his best in this area. At least in the development of superhero movies, he has not stimulated the potential of DC brand.”
”Well, what I want to know is...” Simon looked at Bob White. ”Does Jack know about it?”
Bob whiteton paused and said, ”I haven't told him yet.”
Simon raised his glass directly to white and said, ”in that case, have a nice evening. Moreover, I can make my attitude clear, I don't agree. If you are going to push forward, I certainly can't stop it, but I will change the development plan of the existing DC movie universe project. ”
With that, Simon ignored Bob White and went straight to the other side.
When asked about Jack Welch, it's just Simon wants to make sure that this incident tonight is inspired by Welch. However, Simon's tough attitude towards the DC movie universe will not change at all. Unconsciously, he has regarded Hollywood as his own territory. In order to avoid the spread of mangrove films too early, and to maintain the diversity of Hollywood, Simon has been pressing his own marvel, and of course he will not allow DC to mess around.
If the conflict intensifies, even if it's a DC movie universe, Simon can stop.
As soon as he separated from Bob White, Jonathan Friedman welcomed him and congratulated him. Jonathan said another thing: ”Simon, Denise entertainment, when are you going to start preparing for the two comet earth impact movies, the great clash of heaven and earth and the apocalypse
”The Apocalypse” was an idea that Simon gave to Robert Poole, the screenwriter of MGM's infectious disease hit movie ”terror zone” at that time. After the success of ”terror zone”, Poole began to be popular, and the script of ”the Apocalypse” was successfully favored by Denise entertainment.
”The clash of heaven and earth” is Simon's idea inspired by ”the Apocalypse”. In the history of the past, the two films were competing in the same year, which was very lively. The original version of ”the clash of heaven and earth” has been lost by the butterfly. Simon picked it up again and gave it to the original screenwriter Michael Tolkien to write.
The two projects have recently joined the project list of danielis entertainment. Although the preparations have not yet officially started, the two super blockbusters focusing on special effects have quickly attracted the attention of major Hollywood brokerage companies and a kind of big and small stars.
No way.
Now in Hollywood, the films produced by danielis entertainment are most likely to make the actors popular. At the same time, if you want to stabilize your position and not be defeated by the latecomers, even the bigwigs should try their best to fight for these opportunities.
Jonathan Friedman was apparently searching for the stars of wma.
Simon, of course, has nothing to hide from Jonathan. He said: ”it's just a project for the time being. However, next year's schedule is full, and” the clash of heaven and earth ”will be released in 1998. I hope Michael Bay will be the director. This needs to wait for him to complete” Jurassic Park 3 ”, and the release time will be pushed to 1999.”
Jonathan, hearing the speech, nodded. He was basically in the expectation. He was not in a hurry to recommend a candidate. Instead, he said, ”Kim has finished shooting the cable repairman. There has been no news about the next project on danielis entertainment. Simon, I can only ask you?”
”Cable repairman” is a comedy that Simon has been quietly nurturing for Kim Carey by Ben Stiller and Judd arpatu, who are members of the rotten boy gang.
Once upon a time in history, with this film, Kim Carrey got Hollywood's first $20 million basic film payment, and since then opened the era of $20 million.
Because of the original contract and Simon's suppression of Kim Carey, there is certainly no $20 million this time. Moreover, including this film, Simon deliberately arranged that the box office performance of ”cable repairman” in the original space-time can be described as the worst one after Kim Carrey's popularity. It took Sony's budget of nearly $50 million at that time, and the global box office barely exceeded 100 million.
This is Simon's deliberate suppression of Kim Carey, and let the rotten boy help practice.
At this time, listening to Jonathan's obvious pleading tone, Simon did not insist, said: ”I find time for someone to send him the script.”Kim Kerry signed five contracts with danielis entertainment. After two films, detective airplane head, freak in disguise and cable repairman, which have been filmed and have not yet been released, there is only one left.
In fact, the script is already ready.
The world of Truman.
This is also a script that has been popular in Hollywood for a long time and has not been fanned out by Simon, the big butterfly. The story writer had a creative idea in the 1980s, and it was only noticed by Hollywood in 1991. The script failed to be filmed for many times, and finally fell into the hands of Denise entertainment, which was quietly won by Simon.
If it wasn't for Kim Carrey's attempt to break the contract and have a bad time with daenerys, Simon might have come out and even pushed each other at the Oscars.
In recent years, Simon has quietly suppressed many plays.
Just like this one at the end of 1996, the best-selling movie should have been Mr. sweetheart starring Tom Cruise. Under the constant pressure of danielis entertainment, cruise has been reduced to the second and third tier. Although the script of Mr. sweetheart has not been fan out, it has also been sealed up by Simon, making way for other movies.
Jonathan was relieved to see Simon let go.
Actually, I can understand what Simon is doing.
At the beginning, Denise entertainment signed several long-term contracts in succession, including a series of actor contracts for DC movie universe. If Kim Carrey, who is trying to break the contract, is not taught a lesson, other actors will certainly make trouble, and it is likely that it will not be able to end at that time. It is hard to say whether DC movie universe can achieve the glory of last year's super baton war.
Kim Carrey, who has taken the initiative to be soft, turned to wma. Under Jonathan's words, he got rid of the situation of being hidden in the snow. However, the evil feeling on danielis entertainment side has been formed. If not, with the box office momentum of the comedian's first two films, the current achievements will definitely be more than that.
