For the women around him, Simon would spend some time planning in the early years. The typical one is the ABCD four girls. Now, with the growing vistro system and more and more women around him, Simon doesn't have so much time to worry about it.
Go with the flow.
Just like "huanzhu gege", Simon casually mentioned that Jiang Anqi could try the role of Xia Ziwei. However, since Ren Jingxi is too expensive to let Jiang Anqi play, Jiang Anqi himself seems reluctant, so he should change the role.
Simon just put the team together.
I'm sorry for Erkang.
Simon doesn't care what the impact of missing this role will be on Jiang Anqi. Anyway, the original characters, especially the leading roles and heroines, will belong to Jinshu agency. Once the drama is popular, Jinshu can fully enjoy the bonus after the actors become famous.
However, it's probably a way of getting better and worse. Simon doesn't care much about the vase around him, but others attach great importance to it.
Just like at this point, Denny Morris mentioned it.
Simon is still noncommittal, said: "organize a" phantom agent "material to me, I first see, in addition, you yesterday's email about the" hurricane rescue "sequel, I also give you the idea, find someone to try to write the script, wait for Jeter finished" hero ", see whether the sequel starts or not."
Denny Morris nodded: "I understand."
The two talked about things, and the time soon came to 9 am. Instead of leaving, Denny Morris went to the post production center of the studio.
The ghost record, which started in March, has been finished at the beginning of this month. During this time, rough cutting has been completed. Simon wants to see the sample film today.
This film is in the charge of new world pictures. Originally, a super cost film shot by IREC digital camera is hard to attract the attention of senior executives like Denny Morris. After all, it's too rough. But now it's the creativity provided by our own boss himself, and I'm very attentive. Other people will naturally pay enough attention to it.
Simon spent three hours in the morning on this IREC movie.
Compared with the original version, which is largely amateur, this project has been personally planned by Simon and participated by Lin Yibin, a former top Chinese American director in Hollywood. The quality of this project is obviously higher.
Denny Morris also watched the sample film for the first time. Although it took more than 130 minutes to rough cut, he could easily realize the excellence of the film with the eyes of an experienced filmmaker.
First of all, the first person perspective, if it is other subjects, the effect may not be very good, but on a horror film, it just gives people an immersive viewing experience. Although Lin Yibin is a novice director, in terms of lens handling, whether it's the slow follow-up of the audience's emotions, or the just right shaking of some scenes, or even the fixed seats under the late night monitoring perspective, all make this immersive viewing experience more excellent.
There is no doubt that our boss has found another excellent filmmaker.
Second, rhythm.
It's also one of the more surprising things for Denny Morris after watching the demo.
Even if the length of the rough cut version is more than 130 minutes, according to the plan, it will be compressed to less than 100 minutes, but Denny Morris can still feel the excellent rhythm of the film.
To be exact, my boss told them more than once that the best popcorn movie should be one that people can't feel the passage of time.
Now this "ghost record" obviously has this potential.
The prelude of the rough cut version is about 30 minutes, which mainly introduces the background of the story. A couple, Micah and Katie, who have just moved into a new suburban house, find that their home is haunted. They always hear all kinds of strange sounds at night, and the memories of the heroine Katie, who is probably the kind of physique that is easy to attract ghosts. They often encounter supernatural events from childhood to adulthood.
At the same time, it also introduces the reason why Micah bought the digital camera and tracked the shooting.
Micah is generally regarded as an atheist, so he wants to record the reasons for all kinds of strange things by monitoring the shooting.
The prelude also includes the process of the couple inviting a psychic to cast a spell to exorcise ghosts.
The 30 minute plot starts with the plot, and it will be further reduced in the future. Through the dialogue between Micah and Katie as well as some life trivia, the background of the film is smoothly introduced, and the audience's curiosity is unconsciously aroused.
Because following the main line, even Denny Morris himself didn't feel bored in the process of watching the film. In response, he has entered the main topic, that is, the next 100 minutes.
The real "ghost record.".
In the second half of the film, the more and more serious ghost stories create a story line of rising plot conflicts. Meanwhile, through friends' visit, the hero and heroine's discussion on countermeasures and the restless daily life on the verge of collapse, the audience can relax a little, so as to meet the next high mood.
Until the end, with the tragedy, the story came to an abrupt end, and the audience's mood reached the highest.
It can be said that after watching the sample film, Simon himself can not be satisfied any more.At the same time, I understand again that no success is accidental.
The success of the former fake documentary "the witch Blair" is due to the fact that the first person who ate crabs used deceptive virus marketing, and then consumed too much luck of the fake documentary type at one stroke. However, "ghost record" realized this type of recovery by relying on his own strength again, not because of the success of deception. Everyone knows in advance that this is an electricity Shadow.
Therefore, it can be imagined that if the ghost record does not have its own special features, it is impossible to create an amazing box office of nearly 200 million US dollars in the world at a very low cost of only 15000 US dollars, and it has successfully made a long-term series of partial sales.
The root cause of this success is that the film itself does have its own excellence.
After watching the sample film, without Simon's explanation, Denny Morris offered to spend $5 million on the early publicity of the film, and planned to participate in the Toronto Film Festival in the second half of the year. It was initially determined that the film would be released after the Toronto Film Festival in September, and the opening screen size would be more than 1000.
Unfortunately, it still didn't meet Simon's expectations.
Before lunch, Simon called C girl in person, meaning that when the film is completely completed, tincobail can send someone over to have a look, and then conduct several internal auditions. If he thinks it's good, tincobail can sponsor a sum of publicity expenses.
If the film is a big success, the brand gain of IREC series is immeasurable, plus the creativity provided by her boss, of course, C girl has no opinions and agrees readily.
Simon also invited Lin Yibin to lunch because he was very satisfied with ghost record.
It is worth mentioning that although he expressed his interest, Simon won't push Lin Yibin too high after ghost record.
We have to hone.
Although Lin Yibin once had a firm foothold in Hollywood by virtue of the "speed and passion" series, what Simon thought of again was the marvel movie universe.
Lin Yibin is very suitable to be placed in the talent reserve team of marvel.
After lunch, the afternoon was the last production meeting before Jurassic Park 3.
The film's leading roles are still Sam Neal and Renee Russell. Although the director Michael Bay has experienced the successful baptism of "Stargate" and "Jurassic Park 2", he has not yet drifted to the unknown, so Simon is very relieved about the film.
At the end of the meeting, when everyone left, Simon was stopped by Linda Vargas, who attended the meeting together.
"Boss, here's the list of actresses who want to play a female role in China's love call forwarding."
Simon took the folder from Linda and went into the elevator together, looking down at the list.
At first glance, the feeling is that the stars are shining.
It's a dazzling one.
Magic woman's famik Jensen, one of "thunderbolt's Dolls" Katherine Zeta Jones, Hollywood sweetie Meg Ryan, cat girl Valerie Gallino, spicy chicken poggie Xiaosi, supermodel Cindy Crawford Even Sandra Bullock, who is still shooting "hyperspace contact" in Australia, has indicated that she is willing to give it a try, because "hyperspace contact" will be finished soon, and the schedule is no problem.
After a brief glance, Simon asked Linda around him, "what did you say to them?"
Linda showed a smile: "according to the boss's original words, there is not much drama, there is no pay, it should be a visit to China."
Simon felt helpless.
They're all smart goblins.
Simon would not be interested in too many actresses if he said that he would get paid. Now, it's still up to him to say that. The big goblins can easily make up their minds. If they don't get paid, it's human feelings.
Simon westero's human feelings.
Tut.
Go to bed do not necessarily sleep out of that, of course, to fight desperately.
Smiling and shaking his head slightly, Simon looked at Linda beside him and said, "who do you think I should give it to?"
Linda also continued to smile: "it's hard for me to speak. It's very offensive. However, since I'm going to film in China, I'd better know Chinese. There's just one on the list, Mira sovino. She's a top Chinese literature major at Harvard University."
Simon listened to Linda, looked down at the list and quickly found a name.
Mira sowino is also one of the great beauties in Hollywood. She has a great figure. When most people think of this actress, they will feel "fierce" because she is really fierce.
Moreover, the actress is also the second generation of Hollywood. Her father is Hollywood Italian director and actor Paul sowino. The actress also won the Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress for Woody Allen's non powerful aphrodisiac last year.
I'm good at acting.
In addition, Mira sovino also participated in a new film "mutant DNA" released by danielis Entertainment's new world film industry in April. Mexican director gilmo del Toro's Hollywood debut, with a production budget of 25 million US dollars, is still on show. The total box office is expected to be about 35 million.Although it is not the first half of the year, such as "BJ single diary", "hurricane rescue" and other key projects, but the box office of the film is also basically up to expectations.
In the first half of the year, as of the opening of the summer program on May 16, Denise Entertainment's three brands launched a total of 13 films, which accounted for 43% of the North American market, with a total box office of US $670 million. In 1997, the total number of films released by the three brands will exceed 40. Except for a series of films Simon paid special attention to, it is difficult to list them one by one.
This is a digression.
Moreover, Mira sowino is one of the judges of the 50th Cannes Film Festival being held in France, and her position is the "vase" that Cannes judges will never lack every year. Therefore, Mira sowino is also the private public relations target of danielis entertainment.
[Reading welfare] give you a red envelope! Pay attention to the VX public and get it!
With that in mind, Simon looked at the list again.
It's a girl you don't see right away.
What's more, if you let famik Jensen, Catherine Zeta Jones and Meg Ryan pass by, Simon would be able to bear it, but he would not be able to watch it. And these big goblins, in front of him, may be cute kittens. In the face of other people, they treat others harshly and like to play big names, and so on.
If we don't keep it together, we'll make a mess.
If you look at Mila sowino, although she won the Oscar nomination for best female partner last year and has family connections, she can only be considered as a second-line candidate at present. In addition, this is Simon's personal task. No matter how she goes to China, she dare not go too far. In addition, the advantage of Chinese is just right.
So it was decided.
After handling this little matter, Simon went back to his office. Just after reading several documents, girl a knocked on the door and came in with a message.
Boston phone.
Urijana meletskova's amniotic fluid broke and has been sent to the delivery room.
This is the first of six pregnant women.
Although urijana meletskova's pregnancy was an accident, Simon didn't neglect his responsibility since it was a fact. Hearing the news, he called Janet in a hurry, and Simon rushed to the airport and boarded the private plane to Boston.
On the west coast, we set off at three o'clock in the afternoon and arrived in Boston. On the east coast, it was eleven o'clock in the night.
Urijana meletzkova was afraid of pain, and the child was too big, so she chose caesarean section, which Simon did not object to.
Arrive in West Weston, Boston
Simon arrives at the manor of ulyanna, a wealthy District in West Weston, Boston. The caesarean section has been completed. He is a 9-pound fat boy.
Another one.
This is old six, counting the five little fellows at Domaine point.
In the private delivery room built with a lot of money in the villa, Simon enters the room. Urijana, who is leaning on the bed, is already feeding the baby. He dismisses several doctors and nurses who are obviously suppressing the color of their eyes. Simon sits down by the window and looks at the mother and son in front of him.
Urijana waited for Simon to sit down and quietly took the baby to the man's side. Her eyes were a little nervous and tentative: "the doctor said 9.6 pounds, and the baby's nose missed you very much, so did her eyes."
The baby who was sucking was interrupted by her mother's action. She stared at her blue eyes and sobbed a few times. Then it turned into a cry, which made her feel helpless.
Although she has two children, she is not a devoted mother. Just like a couple of children before, she brought them to North America to think that men should like to see a competent mother. After discovering that someone didn't like her, she sent the two children back to Ukraine a few days ago.
Now, in the face of the baby in my arms, even if I have learned how to take care of it in advance, I am still obviously unfamiliar.
Because I know the arrangement of men, I didn't study hard.
Simon saw the child crying, slightly up, but did not rashly reach out to pick up, but said: "continue to feed the baby."
Urijana quickly sent the little guy to her chest.
The delivery room immediately quieted down, and gradually there were more strange silences, especially after ulyanna found that the man next to her was staring at the baby.
She is a very smart woman, of course, found that this look is obviously some of the same.
After a few minutes, urijana moved the baby away from her chest again. She was not in a hurry to cover her chest. She just gently wiped her little mouth and explained, "the doctor said that the baby is just born and can't eat too much."
Simon nodded.
Urijana helped the child clean up, looked at the man, gently picked up and sent him: "you hug him."
Simon catches it carefully and holds it in his arms.
Close look, and many newborns, skin wrinkled, but also some ugly.
Probably because of enough food and drink, the little guy has narrowed his eyes, opened his eyes slightly, looked at the man holding him, maybe he didn't recognize the concept of birth, and soon he closed again.Urijana watched the silent interaction between father and son for a moment, gently pulled down her chest clothes and said, "Simon, do you want to give the child a name?"
Simon asked, "do you have any alternatives?"
Urijana shook her head.
In fact, she did, but she soon gave up some ideas.
This little guy's name must be his father's name, and, most importantly, his surname. If he can have his surname westero, it doesn't matter if he doesn't have one.
It's just that these urijanas didn't mean to fight for it.
She has been aware of men's unexpected pregnancy, so she is very concerned about these details.
Simon thought a little and said, "Michael, Michael westero."
Urijana gave a gentle hum.
In fact, my heart is very satisfied, whether it's my surname or my first name.
A man's casual surname naturally made her happy, but the name was the same, because "Michael" was a typical English name, not "Igor", "Yuri", "Boris" and other Slavic names.
This actually shows that men don't care much about the child's blood lineage.
After all, although Slavs are white, they are still inferior in the eyes of orthodox Anglo Saxons, and even inferior to Jews in the eyes of some people.
With that in mind, ulyanna paused and asked, "well, Simon, when can I send the baby to Maria?"
It's very clear that this child is the support for the rest of her life. Even though it has been agreed, urijana still hopes that the man will suddenly say that she will take care of the child in person. She still has some regrets. When learning the baby care skills before birth, she should be more attentive. Just now, he is willing to see his own inexperience.
Simon looked at the little girl in his arms, but didn't give her any twists and turns. Instead, he said, "wait for the baby to be born, and then send it. Now she can't take care of it."
Urijana was a little disappointed and agreed quietly.
