After the weekend, time comes to the last week of June.

Before that, "Wonder Woman" was officially filmed in the UK on June 17 last Monday.

The reason why we didn't choose Australia for shooting this time is that the origin story still follows the World War I background of Gail gado's version in Simon's memory. There is no similar location in Australia, such as London during World War I and Paradise Island of Amazon.

Therefore, the film will be shot mainly in the UK and Italy in Europe.

With the project approval and shooting of a series of films in recent months, the list of important projects of Denise entertainment in 1992 has been basically determined.

In 1992, Denise entertainment independently produced and released four key projects, namely, Ninja Turtle 2 for Easter, wonder woman for summer, kid at home 2 for Thanksgiving and Jurassic Park for Christmas.

At the same time, three films have been confirmed for danielis Entertainment's foreign cooperation, namely "the last Mohican" with Warner Brothers, "the peach trade" with paramount and "killing time" with MGM.

Seven films, all of which are hit movies in Simon's memory.

After sorting out some rules of Daniels' films, these seven projects have become the focus of all Hollywood filmmakers.

"Thank you for coming over today, Sam, and Renee."

"You're welcome, Simon. That's what I should do."

"It's a pleasure to work with you, Steven."

Malibu, daenerys studios.

The final audition for the hero and heroine of Jurassic Park is finally over.

After this period of screening, Simon and Spielberg passed the audition just now and confirmed Sam Neal and Renee Russell as the roles of paleontologist Dr. Alan grant and paleobotanist Dr. Ellie Steller in the film.

The original version of Jurassic Park is more like a group play, but Dr. grant and Dr. Steller have more roles.

Simon doesn't plan to make too many changes to the original Jurassic Park.

However, this time it will change some of the mistakes made by the original series.

The key is to maintain the continuity of the series.

The Jurassic Park Trilogy in the 1990s, in addition to the first global box office of more than 900 million US dollars, the box office of the latter two are not as good as one.

In Simon's opinion, the most important reason is the lack of continuity of the story, besides the serious imitation of the plot and the lack of innovation in the first film.

In Jurassic Park 2: the lost world, all the protagonists in the first film quit. Apart from the dinosaur element, it's basically another story, which largely led to the box office of the sequel in North America shrinking by half compared with the first film.

Many years later, the producers of Jurassic world didn't make such mistakes again.

Chris parrat and Bryce Dallas Howard, the leading actors and actresses, still took part in the world box office after the world box office explosion of the first song. The consistent story made the sequel win more than $1.3 billion at the same time.

So this time Simon has identified at least two resident roles from the beginning.

It's Sam Neal and Renee Russell who play a pair of scientists, and Denise entertainment will sign a trilogy contract with them directly.

Of the two, Sam Neal is the original actor, not to mention.

Renee Russell replaced the original Laura Dunn.

In addition to personal factors, Simon thinks Renee Russell is more suitable for the role of a paleobotanist than Laura Dunn in terms of age and temperament.

In the original film, Laura Donne looks like she was in her thirties. She seems to be quite right with Sam Neal, but in fact, this very old looking actress is only 25 years old this year.

In my memory, Laura Dunn was able to get the role mainly because she won an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress the year before the film started.

Steven Spielberg doesn't like working with too many actors. Laura Dunn, who has an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress, is just right in popularity and acting.

This time, Jurassic Park is a year ahead of schedule, and Laura Donne's best supporting actress, Passion Rose, has yet to be released. It happened that Renee Russell was nominated for best supporting actress at this year's Oscars for her role in Simon's "good guy" last year.

Simon has no feelings for Laura Dunn, and Renee Russell is very suitable, so there is no need to toss anything else.

At the end of the audition, Sam Neal and Renee Russell left first. Simon discussed other supporting roles with Spielberg, and went to Denise special effects to see the motion capture technology specially developed for Jurassic Park.

This time, the raptor in the film will be shot with motion capture technology that can make the picture more vivid, instead of pure CG animation.At the same time, motion capture technology matures ahead of time, and can also be applied to other danilisi entertainment films.

So busy until noon, after lunch with Spielberg, Simon personally sent each other to the parking lot. Just as he was about to leave, Spielberg suddenly thought of something and said, "there's another little thing, Simon."

Simon looked at Spielberg's expression, probably aware of something, and motioned with a smile.

Spielberg also smiles and says, "about the last Mohican you're planning, I have a goddaughter who wants to try the sister role of the kidnapped sisters in the script."

"Is your goddaughter, Steven, the little girl in ET, Drew Barrymore?"

Spielberg shook his head and said, "no, it's the other one, Gwyneth Paltrow. His father and I knew each other a long time ago and worked together at universal. She's 19 years old and just made a cameo role in my "Captain hawk."

So, with such a godfather, what else can others say?

Simon sighed in his heart, but he didn't have any hesitation. This favor must be given, so he said cheerfully, "no problem, I'll arrange it."

Michael Mann has been working on the script of the last Mohican all this time. Simon has read the first draft, and the sisters don't have too many scenes.

Moreover, since she can reach an Oscar winner, Gwyneth Paltrow will never be without talent in acting. Although he is a godfather, the other party should understand that Spielberg's human feelings are not unlimited, and he will not neglect him with the background behind him as Simon remembers.

Simon's rapid rise conceals the light of Spielberg, the older generation of first-line directors.

It's impossible to say that there is no mustard in the heart.

Originally, with Spielberg's position in Hollywood, such a small role may just need a phone call. The reason why I want to talk to Simon face to face is because of the key project of danielis entertainment. Simon needs to make decisions for all the main creators.

Seeing that Simon agreed so simply, Spielberg's subconscious estrangement from the young man was eliminated a lot.

The two continued to chat at the side of the car for a while before Spielberg drove away.

Seeing Spielberg off, Simon just turned around and the female assistant came over with a folder.

"AOL has just sent the latest revised prospectus. If you don't have any comments, it will be submitted to the SEC tomorrow. The IPO roadshow will start on July 1, and it will be officially listed on July 12."

According to the U.S. stock listing process, AOL's prospectus was submitted two months ago. This time, it's just making some detailed amendments.

As Simon walked, he took the document from the female assistant, opened it and found the marked revision.

After the recent split adjustment, AOL's total equity is roughly determined to be 150 million shares, of which westero holds 112.9 million shares, slightly more than 75%. About 25% of the remaining shares are owned by the companies involved in the previous investment and AOL management.

In addition, the IPO of AOL will adjust the company to a dual ownership structure.

The original 150 million shares belong to class A shares, and the 22.5 million shares to be issued belong to class B shares.

Class B shares have only one tenth of the voting rights of class A shares.

After the issuance of new shares equivalent to 15% of the total share capital, the voting right of westero company has actually decreased by less than 1%, still reaching 74.1%.

Therefore, in the future, unless Simon voluntarily gives up, almost no one will be able to take control of AOL from Westeros, even the original shareholders who also own some class A shares.

In Simon's revised document, the main adjustment this time is the issuing price range of AOL.

Morgan Stanley, who is responsible for the IPO underwriting, gave AOL an IPO valuation of US $2.5 billion more than two months ago. During this period, because of the continuous outbreak of AOL users and the market's expectation of AOL IPO, the initial valuation has also been rising.

In this revision, AOL's offering price ranges from $19 to $21.

Based on the IPO price of up to $21, it is equivalent to a valuation of $3.15 billion for AOL.

With the growth rate of AOL users, the total number of users is expected to reach 3.5 million in the first half of 1990, and it is expected to exceed 7 million in the whole year.

According to the average payment amount of $30 per user per month, when the number of users reaches 3.5 million, AOL's monthly revenue will exceed 100 million, not counting the additional user growth in the second half of the year. Therefore, Simon actually thinks that the valuation of $3.15 billion is still low.

However, he does not intend to raise the issue price.

Leaving the surplus stock price growth potential to the market will benefit AOL and even the entire Internet industry.You know, Cisco's IPO is also under preparation.

Cisco is facing the ISP enterprises in the whole United States. Taking advantage of the east wind of the rise of the Internet and the monopoly of westero system on the world wide web technology, this company has grown more rapidly in the past year. Just as a hardware manufacturer, Cisco's performance is not as intuitive as AOL's rapid growth in the number of users every month.

Simon put Cisco after AOL for this reason.

If AOL can get off to a good start, the capital market will certainly be equally keen on Cisco.
