After a few words of conversation, Mel Gibson turned and walked away. Terry Semel looked at Gibson as he left and said, "Simon, have you seen the copies of Mel's movies I sent them to you?"

Instead of answering the question, Simon said, "Terry, I've already said that I'm not going to pick a first-line star for Bruce Wayne."

These days, Simon has been looking for Batman actors.

As the most important stakeholder of the project, Warner also paid close attention to it and recommended his favorite actor, Mel Gibson, who was the hero of last year's lethal weapon.

Terry Semel picked up a glass of champagne from a passing waiter's tray, motioned Simon and Janet to be at ease, and then said, "Simon, actually many directors have this idea of you. I don't want stars. I want fresh faces. I want talented actors, Balabala. Usually, when the brokerage company really recommends them, their mind often turns to "who are these people?" and finally they choose stars. "

"Terry, I don't refuse stars," Simon still shook his head and said, "but you've overlooked that Batman is a very big star. Just like Superman, no one knew Christopher Reeve before the release of the original Superman series, but that didn't affect the box office of the film at all. On the contrary, Marlon Brando and others, who were invited by the producers at a high price, did not play a significant role in promoting the box office. "

"But if we don't use stars, how can we promote it in the future?" Terry Semel continued bitterly. "Simon, we always need an entry point."

"If Warner insists," Simon pointed to himself, "how about westero? Oscar winner for best editing

Terry Semel couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, but said, "Simon, if you don't, I'll arrange a meeting for you and Mel. Mel's offer is not high relative to the production budget you are going to put in for the project. I don't understand why you resist stars? "

Simon hesitated and said, "Terry, Warner will know about it sooner or later. It's nothing to tell you now. I'm going to sign a long-term contract with the Batman actor, a long-term contract where Denise pictures takes the initiative and doesn't have to worry about the actor's strike or the lion's big mouth for the sequel. Gibson will not agree to such a condition. "

Terry Semel thought about it and said, "just like the Julia Roberts you signed the other day?"

Simon was not surprised that Terry Semel casually told this story. For these studio executives, Hollywood has no secret to say: "yes, Terry, it's also five movies. Anyone who wants to play Bruce Wayne has to sign a five movie contract."

"Simon, I'm surprised by your confidence. You know, except for 007 series, few movies in Hollywood can surpass the trilogy. This is generally recognized as the" trilogy curse ". Are you sure Batman can make five movies?"

"No one can guarantee the future, Terry," Simon said, shaking his head. "But I think Batman has enough potential to make a long-term series. Since it's very possible, I have to prepare well in advance."

Terry Semel's face changed for a moment and said with a wry smile: "it seems that Warner will be hard to get back the copyright of Batman. Besides, you should have the same plan for Superman, right

"That's right." now that he's got Superman and Batman in his collection, Simon doesn't want to hide them. He says, "if the time is right, I'll let Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent appear on the big screen together. Batman vs. Superman. Terry, what do you think of this idea?"

Terry Semel looked at Simon and said, "I think we need to renegotiate the contract."

Simon did not refuse, saying: "maybe, but now the most important thing is to refuse Simon once. If you refuse again, it will be too unkind and even disrespectful.

However, Simon is not a 20-year-old after all, so he has no psychological burden to refuse again.

Shaking his head again, Simon said, "I'm sorry, Steve. Denise pictures wants to try its own film distribution business. We all know that it is very unwise to place the distribution channels on others. "

Steve Ross was a little surprised by Simon's decisive refusal, but his face remained unchanged and said, "well, it seems that it's very difficult for us to reach a cooperation today. But if you change your mind, you can call me at any time, "Rose said. He took out a business card and handed it to Simon. He added," by the way, it's OK to contact Terry. Now, I'll take you to meet some good friends. Steven should be here too. You'll have a common language. "

Steve Ross and Steven Spielberg are known to be very close.

Spielberg's "Schindler's list," which won him an Oscar for best director, was specially subtitled "for Steve Ross.".Simon smelled the words, and immediately showed full interest in the expression, said: "of course, I also look forward to talking with Mr. Spielberg."

An old fox and a little fox said so. They got up and left the card seat together. It seemed as if the two cooperation plans had not come to an end. They began to socialize at the party like good friends.

So it wasn't until nearly twelve o'clock that Simon and Janet left the party.

Because Sandra rubs the car impolitely, the extended limousine turns to Beverly Hills to take Sandra home before turning to Sunset Avenue.

Although he has bought palisade's mansion, Simon doesn't live there any more. Instead, he goes back to Malibu with Janet.

Because it's late at night, the journey of more than 30 kilometers is not too long. When the concierge car stops outside the mansion on the west side of domay point manor, it's already one o'clock in the morning.

Janet drank more wine at the party. At this time, her face was red. She didn't know whether she was really drunk or pretended. She pestered Simon like a little girl. Simon had to take the woman out of the car with the princess's arms and went all the way to the villa.
