This is the afternoon of Sunday, January 23, and the evening is the Golden Globe award ceremony. Simon is still here today to deal with the work accumulated in recent years.
In the afternoon, there was a production meeting about a fairy tale book changing real life project called "Grinch Stole Christmas".
Yes, that's the Christmas freak.
Once upon a time, "the Christmas geek" was the domestic box office champion of the United States in 2000, starring Kim Carrey, and received a domestic box office of US $260 million that year. However, even compared with the second place in the box office of the same year, "the rest of a desert Island", the popularity of this film in the world is very low, mainly due to regional reasons. Moreover, It's just a popcorn with a festive atmosphere.
The reason why it was able to win the annual title with us $260 million undoubtedly shows that the year 2000 once fell into a small box office year.
In theory, the Millennium should have been a big year, which is interesting to say.
The original comic book was published in 1966. However, the original author Dr. Seuss refused to film and television the story until the other party died a few years ago.
Danilis, after several contacts, Dr. suss's family gave very positive feedback. After all, Greench Stole Christmas is not the top IP. Before it won the annual box office champion, few people expected much of this project.
So take it easy.
At present, the script has been completed and the director has been determined. Lang Howard, the former original director, mainly discussed the actors in the afternoon.
It is undoubtedly the safest to continue to fully refer to the original version, but because of the original discord, even if Simon did not kill Kim Carrey, he has already listed the other party in the blacklist and will certainly not use the other party.
The candidate for the preliminary discussion is Ben Stiller.
At present, hangover 2 has been finished. The schedule is this summer. Ben Stiller is just in the empty window. Moreover, compared with the simple and honest Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller's funny ghost temperament, even his own image, is very suitable for Greench's role.
Moreover, this will not be a series, and there is no need to consider the long-term problem. After all, there is a hangover, and Simon doesn't want to hold Stiller too high, so the follow-up wonderful night at the museum can't be used.
As long as the film appointment with Ben Stiller is negotiated recently, the shooting of this project can start after Easter, because the old-fashioned model special effects will be mainly used, and the production cycle will not be too long. The schedule is initially positioned at the end of the year, Thanksgiving or Christmas. Depending on the specific production rhythm, it will be determined.
Then it's a movie.
Next month, a comedy on Valentine's day, I'm crazy for Mary, led by Lina Kane and Annika seitel.
Compared with the past, not only the schedule, but also the Farrell brothers, except the director and screenwriter, the other main actors and creators changed. At first, Lina considered inviting Adam Sandler, which was too expensive to talk about. Finally, she decided to take the American sweet girl Jennifer Aniston in friends as the core, Several male stars are mainly selected from "Saturday night live". In the film circle, they are basically novices.
Therefore, the new version of "I'm crazy for Mary" was completed with a budget of only $16 million, which also shows the delicacy of the two girls.
As for the film, Simon's personal feeling is no worse than before. Simon is not sure whether the audience will buy it next. However, in that sentence, the current danilis entertainment has enough fault tolerance, and it doesn't matter if several projects fail.
The film schedule has been set for February 11. It is less than three weeks from now. It is impossible to modify. Simon has seen some sample films in advance. At this time, the film has completed the rating and trailer release, and there is not much room for modification. We only see the market feedback at that time.
After watching this project, I also paid attention to the Spartan 300 warriors, which continues to be in the charge of Zach Schneider, who is represented by Lina Kane, after last year's biochemical crisis. The film has been completed in the second half of last year, is currently in the later stage, and the schedule has been determined as this year's summer schedule.
Compared with the small film "I'm crazy for Mary", the two girls obviously pay more attention to "Sparta 300 warriors". After all, the budget reached $60 million, which is also a heavy bomb level. Simon also gave a hot schedule for the summer. If they can't get good grades, unlike "I'm crazy for Mary", they can only continue to mix in the field of low budget in the future. Even Lina knows that her future Hollywood plans may be affected.
Unknowingly, I was busy until more than 7 p.m.
On the other side, the Golden Globe award ceremony officially began at 6 p.m.
At the end of the day's work, Simon took the two girls directly to the hillside mansion in palisade nearby. The Golden Globe party for danilis entertainment is still held here tonight.
Some guests who didn't attend the award ceremony arrived in advance. After Simon, Jonathan Friedman, Robert De Niro and other guests greeted, they were entangled by a goblin, Scarlett Johnson. Mainly tonight, Vanessa Johnson, as the heroine of the talent Ripley, attended the Golden Globe award ceremony. The goblin didn't have this honor, I can come here.
So he took three women, big and small, to a restaurant upstairs and watched the continuous award ceremony on the TV screen.
After the waitresses delivered dinner, they just picked up the tableware and just announced the best actor in the drama plot or their own family. The two most popular candidates are James Gandolfini in the underworld family and Kevin Spacey in the house of cards, both of which are from the increasingly popular DHO.
In the end, as expected, Kevin Spacey was slightly better.
"From this point of view," Lina and Simon asked for a bottle of mineral water and took a sip at the table. "Next, the house of cards should be the best drama of this time."
"Sure, I like this TV play so much," Annika answered and looked at a man next to her. "Simon, it's said that this is also your idea, really?"
Simon just nodded.
"Actually, I was thinking," Lena also glanced over, "Simon, do you think Anne and I can do TV dramas?"
Simon said: "as long as you get enough good ideas, I certainly have no problem. But if it's not good enough, I won't give you the green light."
Scarlett Johnson innocently interrupted: "Simon, isn't Lina an agent? It seems that an agent can't participate in the production of film and television dramas. It's illegal, isn't it?"
Simon smiled and nodded again, "yes."
The girl looked at the other two girls. She was not nervous at all. She was still eating dinner by herself. She felt that a small fist had hit the space. She could only change the topic and said directly, "Simon, can I stay tonight?"
Simon was interested: "what are you doing here?"
The girl was not shy at all and said boldly, "I'll do whatever you want me to do."
Simon glanced at the precocious bulge on the girl's chest and found that the girl deliberately wore a beige cotton skirt with a very young girl's style today, but her waist was tied up again, which was a little temptation.
Seeing the man, the girl immediately straightened her waist, and then provoked Lina to laugh.
A girl was so destructive of the atmosphere that Scarlett immediately glared angrily, "what are you laughing at?"
Lina was still dressed up at work during the day. She just took off her windbreaker indoors and wore a black close fitting sweater with a high collar. When the girl asked, Lina didn't answer. She was also very curvy and had too much upper body hotter than the girl. On the other side, Annika, with similar costumes, followed suit, which made the little girl envious and wronged. She could only look at Simon.
Simon smiled and saw the girl looking over and comforted, "you're still young. You're not in a hurry."
Scarlett can only be depressed.
The awards ceremony on TV continues.
Not surprisingly, it was house of cards that won the Best Drama Award in the TV drama category.
Hollywood doesn't like politics, but if there is a project that can get rid of all kinds of political hypocrisy and won't arouse too much criticism in the Washington authorities, it certainly won't be stingy to give enough praise.
From the perspective of interests, to put it bluntly, Hollywood is also seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.
Then, most of the second half of the award is the re nomination of the film category.
There was no accident.
Or, to Simon's surprise, it was a double yolk egg this time. The two heroines of Chicago, Catherine Zeta Jones and Madonna, won the best actress award in musical comedy together. Then, seven nominations of Chicago finally won five awards, including best film and best director in musical comedy, It has undoubtedly become the most watched film in the film category tonight.
In contrast, danilis was nominated for the best film in the two drama categories of "genius Ripley" and "matrix". The award finally fell to an original film that had never been produced by paramount. It was released in September last year, and there were only more than 20 million ticket rooms in the mainland.
Obviously, the tendency of Golden Globe Award to divide pork is too obvious.
But Simon can understand.
If you don't divide pork, but judge the film quality completely and fairly, most of the awards will be taken away by the danilis family. After a long time, only the danilis family will be left. Will others play with you?
No.
At that time, the award became the self entertainment of danilis entertainment, and the Golden Globe Award was no longer necessary.
In any case, even without awards, no one can deny the popularity of a series of films with good reputation and box office in the past year. When the award ceremony was over, compared with other parties, hundreds of guests poured into palisade, which was enough to prove the current dominance of danilis entertainment in Hollywood.
