After lunch with Terry Semel, Simon returns to Denise entertainment headquarters and starts his afternoon work again.

These days, Simon, Amy and other senior executives have been re discussing the film production and distribution plan of the new company. Originally, he planned to work overtime for two days in the previous weekend to complete these things before his trip to Australia. Because of the release of Forbes rich list, Simon had been entangled with all kinds of things on the weekend and had to delay until working day.

Except for several reality shows and New World Entertainment TV series that have been prepared by danielis pictures, the company does not plan to develop new projects this year. Therefore, the TV business in this area will soon be straightened out.

In terms of film, it is mainly production and distribution.

After the merger, the new company's issuance business will start next month.

In addition to the seven films released in the first half of the year, New World Entertainment has another six films of various types waiting to be released.

After film review and discussion, New World Entertainment finally decided that there will be a total of three films on the cinema line, namely "aweira", "Sid sisters" and "ghost 2", and the other three films will be released directly on video.

Avrila is a brand of horror film that actress Cassandra Peterson has been focusing on in recent years, which belongs to the style of horror comedy. However, the biggest selling point of the film is probably only the female protagonist's half covered breasts in black.

Simon's evaluation of this B-class film style is very low, and he didn't find any box office potential. He wanted to go to the video market as well. However, New World Entertainment has carried out some pre publicity before, and even asked marvel to develop a cartoon for the film.

Considering that the company has no other cinema release plan in September, Simon reluctantly agreed to re edit the film and send it to the cinema, only limiting the number of screens to 500.

"Sid sisters" is a low-cost independent film starring Winona reed, who just emerged in Tim Burton's "beetle juice" in the first half of the year. The story explores teenagers' disappointment and confusion in life through a series of campus murders.

After seeing the sample film, Simon decided to let the film participate in next year's Sundance Film Festival together with sisters and metropolises invested by danelis pictures.

Because the box office potential of the film is too low, the schedule will be determined in February and March next year.

The final "ghost 2" is a horror film series developed by new world entertainment to imitate the new line "ghost Street". The first film earned more than $14 million at the box office with a production cost of $1 million. Although it can't be compared with the "ghost Street" series, it is also a big profit.

The production cost of this sequel has increased to 3 million US dollars. With the accumulation of reputation of the first sequel, the profit is very guaranteed.

New World Entertainment originally planned to schedule the film for Christmas at the end of the year.

This is obviously a good choice before the merger of the two companies, but now, the distribution team of the new company must focus on the publicity of several films set by Daniels pictures. Therefore, the release schedule of "ghost 2" has been postponed to Easter next year.

In addition to MGM's "Rain Man" scheduled for December 16, the schedule of three films "scream", "steel Magnolia" and "death poetry club" produced and released by daenerys pictures were completely finalized in this discussion.

The release date of scream is October 28.

The release date of steel magnolia is November 18.

The release date of death poetry society is December 23.

Michael Hoffman's sisters, whit Stilton's metropolitan and Catherine's blue angel are also in the late stage. The specific schedule has not yet been determined, but they are expected to enter the cinema in the first half of next year.

Film production.

New world entertainment was originally in the process of brewing several projects, Simon finally only retained the original "angel miracle" starred by bogey Xiaosi, and all the others were cancelled.

Among the projects being hacked are revenge starring Kevin Costner and Punisher adapted from Marvel Comics starring Duff longel.

Revenge is an ethical film about a retired naval officer who seduces his good friend's wife and gets revenge for both of them. Originally directed by Tony Scott, the director is Radley Scott's younger brother. Before that, he also directed well-known films such as detective Beverly, which is also a front-line director in Hollywood.

It's just that Simon can't understand the idea of revenge. Although the film co invested with a affiliated company of Columbia Pictures, the $20 million production budget still exceeded Simon's expectation, so he chose to give up.

As for the punisher.

After reading the script, Simon found that in addition to the name, the story completely deviated from Marvel's classic comic setting. It was just a B-class gunfight movie imitating Stallone's "the first drop of blood" style. Naturally, there was no need to keep it.

During the strike, Bruce joy Robin has completed two other screenplays, sixth sense and ghost, which Simon had originally scheduled for him.Simon shelved the ghost story for the time being, but set up the project of the sixth sense.

Robert De Niro signed two package contracts for the death Poetry Society and the sixth sense. The death poetry society has finished, and it just took over the sixth sense.

In addition, with the end of the Hollywood writers strike, Denise entertainment began to accept various projects intensively during this period of time. Simon chose several very good plays from them.

One of them is called bodyguard.

That's right. It's the original movie starring Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston.

Lawrence Kasdan, the screenwriter of the film, is well-known in Hollywood. He used to be a screenwriter in the Star Wars series and the Raiders series.

However, the script of "bodyguard" has been ignored since it was written in the mid-1970s. It is said that before Simon took over, the film had been rejected by more than 60 producers in a row. Most film companies thought the plot of the film was too old-fashioned, and the scene of Rachel's mansion in the film was too expensive.

So, despite Lawrence castanga's popularity, danelis entertainment bought the play for only $300000.

In addition, there is a Hollywood female screenwriter and director Amy heckling's "flying over the childlike innocence". The biggest feature of this comedy is that babies learn to think and speak like adults. In the original time and space, "flying over innocence" starred John Travolta, voiced the baby by Bruce Willis, and successfully ranked in the top ten box office of the year.

Previously, this play was also not optimistic, so it was snatched by danielis entertainment.

In fact, it's not surprising that the projects that Hollywood is generally optimistic about have basically fallen into the hands of major film companies a few years in advance.

Just one thing, because of her involvement in violent films such as vulgar novels, Travolta is no longer suitable to play in romantic comedies such as "flying over innocence". Danielis entertainment can only re select the hero.

In the end, six senses, Batman, bodyguard and over the air innocence will be the main projects of danielis entertainment next year.

"Psychic Sixth Sense" and "bodyguard", which made more than 600 million US dollars at the box office in the world, have initially confirmed that they will be released in the summer of next year, while "over the air innocence" and "Batman" will be released in Thanksgiving and Christmas next year respectively.

However.

To be careful, it's just Simon's idea.

Because these four projects are basically not popular in Hollywood, "bodyguard" script has been ignored by Hollywood for more than ten years. Simon doesn't intend to explain too much to others. He just needs Amy and others to do their best.

What's more.

According to preliminary statistics, Denise entertainment will release a total of 10 films next year, including Sid sisters, sisters, metropolises, thunderbolt blue angel, the sixth sense of the supernatural, bodyguard, pretty girl, over the air innocence and Batman. The number of films the company is still in the pipeline and the purchasing department plans to buy will not be less than that. This means that Denise Entertainment's production and distribution plan next year will directly reach the level of the seven major studios. Therefore, surrounded by this piece of "sand", the four films of "sixth sense" are mixed in. Even if they can achieve the box office in the original time and space, they will not be as conspicuous as this year.
