the same morning, nine o'clock, Jamie Spears drove to Universal Studios, took his daughter's pass, and was stopped by the forenoon guard before entering the door, so he had to dial Barry Weiss's office phone.
A moment later, Jamie Spears was released and went all the way to Barry Weiss's office.
Just after answering the phone, the soft voice secretary told him to wait a moment. Jamie spears pressed the recorder in his satchel and sat down in the rest area. He couldn't help glancing at the curvy and beautiful secretary in a pink professional suit. He thought that he would start a company when he got $200 million. Such a secretary would employ at least two.
the book is made by the official account. Pay attention to VX [bookfriend base camp], read books and get cash red envelopes!
Waiting for more than ten minutes, just as Jamie Spears was a little impatient, the inner door finally opened. Barry Weiss joked and sent some young people out. Jamie spears knew that this was the very popular Backstreet Boys' band.
Jamie spears did not forget to smile at himself when seeing off Barry Weiss. He subconsciously got up, reacted and sat down again. After Barry Weiss sent a group of young people out of the house, he came back to himself. Spears got up again to greet Barry Weiss.
Barry Weiss and Jamie spears shook hands, motioned to each other to enter his office, and asked with a smile, "Jamie, what's the matter with you? Oh, you don't look very well. Haven't you slept well recently? "
Then he asked his secretary to bring in two cups of coffee.
Jamie spears just realized that he was neglected by the secretary. He just sat for more than ten minutes, but he didn't see the other party deliver coffee. He hated it in his heart, so he was no longer polite. He ignored Barry Weiss's warm and cold voice and said, "Barry, I don't need coffee. I have a very important thing to talk to you."
Anyway, when you are developed, what kind of coffee can't you drink?
Barry Weiss had some doubts and even had some bad premonitions. However, he motioned to the secretary not to send any more coffee in. He went to the reception area with spears to sit down and asked again, "so, Jamie, what's the matter?"
Jamie spears quietly pressed the bag beside him, looked at Barry Weiss and said, "Barry, I want to see Simon westero and talk to him about my daughter."
Barry Weiss raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Jamie spears in silence for a moment, and then asked in the same cold voice, "Jamie, what are you going to say first?"
At this point, Jamie spears no longer covered up, grinned, and with bloodshot eyes, he became more and more bewildered: "Barry, you actually understand, don't you? I want to see Simon westero about her and my daughter. "After a pause, Jamie spears said," just like Michael Jackson and Jodie Chandler. "
The atmosphere was silent again.
After more than a minute of confrontation, Barry Weiss finally said, "Jamie, you are doing a very stupid thing. Do you understand? So, I suggest that you go home and sleep, and forget what you just said when you wake up. "
Barry Weiss's voice was calm, but Jamie spears couldn't help staring at him: "I don't need you to tell me what to do, Barry," so Jamie spears took out the recorder in his bag and pressed the play button directly: "or, I'm calling the police and giving this recording to the Los Angeles Times reporter at the same time."
Then, the voice of the recorder sounded in the room.
First there was a soft male voice: "Bree, my baby, is there anything going on between you and Simon westero, I mean, sex?"
Then there was a weak girl's voice: "yes, Dad."
Barry Weiss frowned and interrupted with a wave of his hand: "all right, Jamie, turn it off."
Jamie spears turned off the recorder and grinned at Barry Weiss. "I said, Barry, it's not something you can handle. I want to see Simon westero."
Barry Weiss doesn't pay attention to each other any more. He is a musician and is most sensitive to sound. Just after a conversation, he can hear the splicing trace. In front of this fool probably all people as a fool, will think that such evidence can form a threat to their own boss.
What's more, the girl's state in the recording also makes Barry Weiss realize why Britney Spears has been like that in recent days.
It's not a new way to play for your boss. Instead, as is rumored in the Jackson case, Ivan Chandler anesthetized his son and induced Jodie Chandler to say what he needed to say.
It seems that some fool has carefully studied the whole story of the Jackson case. He intends to follow suit.
Since the other party wants to do stupid things, he can only do it.
Thinking of this, Barry Weiss stood up, turned to his desk and said to Jamie spears, who was still on the sofa in the reception area, "you go out first. I'll make a phone call."There was no politeness in the tone.
Jamie spears, aware of Barry Weiss's change of attitude and still with a smile on his face, wanders up, deliberately slows down and grins out of the office, leaves the door open, goes outside, returns to the sofa seat, holds the bag with the recorder on his knee, and looks blatantly Look around.
This office is really ordinary. In the future, it will cost millions to install the best one.
Maybe, I'll see Simon westero later. I can pay attention to it and decorate the office of the young tycoon in the future. Of course, beautiful female secretaries are indispensable.
Malibu.
When Simon just checked some documents in his office, girl a transferred Barry Weiss's phone and said that there was something very important.
Simon pressed the button and continued to read a market briefing of major Asian countries and regions in the past week while listening to Barry Weiss about what had just happened.
I just think it's ridiculous.
What is this?
Is the ignorant fearless?
Simon waited for Barry Weiss to finish and said to the landline, "I know, Barry, let that, who, wait there, I'll let someone take over."
Barry Weiss agreed and hung up.
Simon pressed the call button again and said to girl a, "please connect me with George Norman. Besides, let Neil Bennett come to see me."
Girl a agreed.
Simon continued to work on his work. After a moment, the call was connected to Jennifer's uncle George Norman. After he had greeted him, Simon said, "George, you go to universal studios now to find Barry Weiss. Let him tell you that you have to talk to others and drag on some days.
As a lawyer, George Norman has been very close to the Westeros family over the years. He is a confidant in his heart. Hearing Simon say so, Norman didn't say much and hung up with a promise.
A moment later, Neil Bennett, who first followed Simon and is now in charge of the security and private intelligence network of the Westeros, entered. Simon told Neil Bennett to send a team to keep an eye on the spears, mainly to avoid unexpected accidents.
Simon went on with his work when he had finished.
It's not surprising.
Simon, of course, knows the wind and the green duckweed, but with the strength of westero now, he can't even deal with such a small matter, so he can give up his fortune and retire from the world.
As a result, Simon was not as touched by this temporary incident as he later knew that Lin Yibin was going to switch to Disney.
This is just before the end of the production meeting of matrix and the video conference with AOL, girl a told Simon the news she just got: "Lin didn't show up in person. Ms. Pascal only met his negotiator. Lin hopes to cooperate with Disney for a film or a fake documentary film first, and then continue to fulfill her contract with us ?”
Simon looked through the minutes of the meeting about the matrix and asked, "how much did Disney give?"
Girl a has learned the specific situation in advance, and said: "six million dollars plus 10% of the local box office share. In addition, this is a project of Disney and Panasonic cooperation, most of the funds are provided by Panasonic, in order to promote Panasonic's digital cameras."
"Six million, and 10% should be a full percentage?"
A girl nods.
There are many ways to share the box office, either locally or globally, or directly from the total box office, or on the basis of the share after sharing with the cinema, and the gross profit after sharing with the cinema, and so on. It all depends on the agreement.
Simon understood that this is a contract with a value of tens of millions.
In contrast, danielis's $1 million reward for her second collaboration can only be described as shabby.
I'm not too angry, just a little disappointed.
However, it can also be understood.
How can we compare $10 million with $1 million?
If they are old Hollywood birds, they are more likely to choose the former. They hardly have too much hesitation, because they understand that the uncertainty of Hollywood is too strong. Maybe the next movie will be a box office fiasco and end their career. Therefore, what they get is their own. Some people promise the future, and it's best to treat them as farts.
Simon, of course, is different. He is really giving Lin Yibin a fairly secure future.
So it's a pity.
Now, people will not be able to stay. Conflicts of interest are too big. If you force them to stay, they will only become enemies. And it's not the time when Kim Carrey was involved, because there was too much involved for Simon to give in, otherwise the core actors of the whole DC movie universe would make a scene."Boss, are we going to stop it?"
Hearing that girl a asked again, Simon thought about it a little bit and said, "in that case, let him shoot. However, there are two conditions. First, we will take back the $1 million reward we gave him last time. Second, Lin's next film can only be released in 1999 at the earliest, that is, after about 15 months. "
After listening to this, girl a quickly understood her boss's intention and took back the reward. In fact, the 15 month interval is similar to a competition agreement. The purpose is to minimize Lin Yibin's popularity in using ghost records.
With that in mind, girl a added: "boss, maybe we can ask for some compensation, such as 20% of Lin's contract salary?"
"Oh, No."
Girl a has no objection. She only thinks that her boss really values each other, but she still says, "in this case, boss, do you want Lin to participate in the next global publicity of ghost story?"
Simon shakes his head again. Of course, the meaning is completely opposite this time: "no, let him disappear for a while, and do your own project well."
Simon is just pitying talent, but he is not even a good person, let alone a bad person, so he is limited to this. Before cooperating again, Lin Yibin doesn't want to get any resources from Denise entertainment.
"Let's be more specific in terms of the terms," girl a added. "The publicity of a movie under the forest should not mention" ghost record "in any form."
"Well, you can discuss it yourself."
Simon finished, waiting for girl a to leave, and taking advantage of the gap before the conference call, he began to write on the minutes of the "matrix" meeting.
Hero: Keanu Reeves.
There is no objection to this.
Two core male partners, Agent Smith and Hugo Vivan, are also directly engaged.
As for Morpheus, Simon thought about it a little bit. He wanted to give up the original Lawrence Fishburn, and Samuel Jackson, the "director" was more eye-catching. Then he remembered that Jackson, as he used to be, was selected as mace Windu in the prequel series of Star Wars. Even though Jackson was only a supporting role in Star Wars, he could catch up with the schedule, and he had more or less similar roles It is not suitable to mix and match.
Therefore, the original version is enabled.
And then, the most important heroine.
Living in the wasteland of the last time when human beings are ruled by machines, Trinity first needs to be strong and cool.
The original image of Kerry Ann moss is actually good, but the appearance is more common, and the reputation is too low. If that's all, Simon can take it. However, the former Kerry Ann moss never calls the hero kenu in the film, and there is no bright spot in her role creation, so that after "the matrix" made kenu popular, the heroine is still lukewarm.
This time, of course, we have to change one.
Simon's first thought was Kate Beckinsale.
Kate used to be in the "Legend of the night" in that body shape, it is suitable for Trinity. However, Kate's problem, like Samuel Jackson's, is that she already has two similar characters in the "Thunderbolt baby" series, which are also easy to play. Moreover, even if Kate is her own woman, Simon can't throw all her good resources on one person.
Balance is important.
So we can only regret pass.
The first choice was eliminated, and Simon continued to think about it.
Sandra Bullock, who worked with Keanu twice, wrote down her name and crossed it out.
I've known Sandra for so many years. No matter how familiar she is, Sandra is still more suitable for acting in a drama or a silly big sister. Even if it's an action movie, Simon doesn't dare to think about what kind of trinetti would be like.
So we continue to sort out the suitable post-60s and Post-70s.
DC movie universe that dial is appropriate, but also can only pass. For the sake of the stability of the universe, we can't give too much resources there. Red pole makes trouble. However, I think about Courtney Cox, who plays the role of Superman girlfriend Louise and completed the shooting of "the clash of heaven and earth" some time ago. It's a pity that I can't remember what action movie Courtney played in my whole life. I just remember Monica's obsessive-compulsive disorder, so I give up.
Simon had a flash of thought.
According to Trinity's setting, maybe it's good to try Chinese faces.
The mainland is hard to find, and Li Youhu, who is already familiar in Hollywood, is not suitable. In Hong Kong, even though Hong Kong movies have been declining rapidly in recent years, there are a lot of action actresses who are beautiful and can speak English.
It is said that the bullet time of "the matrix" was talked about by many people, many people think it is wozhusky (brother?) (sister?) Original, actually not. In 1993, Du's "three heroes of the Orient" already appeared, and the extent to which "matrix" was influenced by Hong Kong films is well known.
Think of the three female masters of the three swordsmen of the Orient After consideration, it's a pity that the image and temperament are different from Keanu.
But still a note, anyway, is the audition, lively about it. The priority is Hollywood. The risk of Chinese faces is too great.Then they wrote some names, most of which were crossed out directly.
Finally, leave one.
Demi Moore.
Think about it, it's really suitable.
First of all, Simon still gave Demi Moore this time and space's ghost story. Even though Patrick Switz, who also used the original version, was the kind of big guy who was not easy to get people to call, Moore still performed very well at that time. It could be said that he forced people to call and made people cry.
This can be regarded as a kind of talent matched by appearance, image and temperament. Maybe this time, we can also have a call with Keanu.
Chemical reactions are very important.
In action movies, Simon's "the devil's maid" and "Thunderbolt 2" also prove that Moore has this potential.
Moreover, in terms of age, Keanu and Moore are of the same generation. Although Moore is two years older than Keanu, the disadvantage of Western women's aging is not obvious here. What's more, to be frank, both inside and outside the play, Simon thinks Keanu is a very suitable person to find a big sister.
Finally, even though there are many problems in her private life, Demi Moore is definitely a very dedicated person in her work circle. Besides, the shooting of matrix involves a lot of action scenes. It's very hard, and it's not easy for the Coquettish female stars to survive. Moreover, due to the downturn of her career in recent years, Demi Moore, who is much more famous than Kerry Ann moss, is quite affordable, and it's easy to sign a trilogy contract directly.
I heard another assistant reminding me that the meeting could start.
Simon answered, raised his pen, circled the name of Demi Moore, and asked his assistant to send the information to Linda Vargas and follow the picture.
