In a series of blockbuster movies next year, Kevin Costner's new film "future water world", which was transferred from universal to Warner under the influence of Simon's big butterfly, will start shooting at the end of June. The original shooting cycle is three months.
However, three months have passed, and less than half of the shooting progress of this action blockbuster in the style of survival in the end of the world is still in progress, due to the failure to take into account the impact of the tides on Hawaii's water shooting, resulting in the destruction of the costly film set by the waves. In addition, after the project started shooting, there was a storm of changing the director and rebuilding the script due to creative differences.
Warner Bros. has a budget of $70 million for future water world.
Because of the budget overdraft caused by the constant renovation of the water scenery, and the fact that hundreds of people in Hawaii are eating horses and chewing horses, the film has burned more than $50 million three months after shooting, and the initial $70 million budget has naturally become a joke.
A large amount of money has been invested, and Warner Bros. has to continue to inject funds into the project.
It is rumored in the circle that Warner hopes to complete the project within a budget of $100 million. Only Simon knows that the former "future water world" burned a total of $175 million.
Or the simplest reason: it's hard to ride a tiger.
If we don't want all the investment in the early stage to be wasted, we can only continue to add, and eventually create a disaster.
Matsushita, who was once in a hurry to get rid of this big burden within a few years after getting universal, was largely affected by the serious out of control of the future water world. He knew that he could not play in Hollywood, so he could get away early.
In contrast, Jurassic Park 2, which also started shooting in Hawaii, was successfully completed two weeks ago and entered the post production stage.
In addition to danielis entertainment never let the film creator, has maintained a considerable degree of control over various projects, Michael Bay's excellent film skills in the process of shooting this blockbuster are also obvious.
Warner has been trapped in the big hole of "future water world". Another trap of simomb in the first half of the year, "cut throat island" is also in the steady progress of paramount and kaloc. Because it involves a large-scale naval battle scene, the early preparation of the film is complicated. The blockbuster can only be shot at the end of next year, and the release schedule can only be put at the end of next year.
The family discussed various movie topics at the dinner table. It was not until the end of the meal that Simon looked at Janet, who was chatting with Seattle, as the female assistant put little Nick in her arms and began to clean up the dishes and walk to the kitchen.
Janet whispered something to her daughter again, then gave the little girl to Simon, and said with a smile, "Jennie has also prepared a pile of scripts for you. This weekend, you can watch the scripts while you are at home."
Hearing this, Simon soon understood why the female assistant, who had left her work to concentrate on her family life, suddenly became interested in movies again today.
It's still diverting his attention.
It's better for a man to put his mind on a movie than to think about killing and setting fire all day long.
Simon is very aware of his changes in the past six months.
Also know that the more the top of the pyramid is, the more wild animals run wild. If you are a sheep, even if you pretend to be a sheep, the result will be very miserable. Now that he has reached his present position, unless he can give up a lot of things he already has, the future development of the westero system will inevitably be inseparable from many things.
In a wide range of public opinion cognition, both high-level politics and large groups are evil in nature.
That's true at all.
Because the interests involved in the top of the pyramid are too large and the living space is too narrow, in order to maintain their own status, we must use various means beyond the boundaries of ordinary people's rules. During this period, it is inevitable that some fish, shrimp, shellfish and crabs living at the bottom of the pyramid will be affected.
Even if Simon is willing to give up something now, he is unlikely to get goodwill.
Some people will only see the weakness of the westero system, and then covet more, until they can divide up everything Simon has now.
However, since the female assistant has arranged, Simon will stay at home to watch the children for two days at the weekend, and read a lot of scripts from all sides, so as to prepare for the foreign cooperation plan of Denise entertainment in the next stage.
It's a new week.
The westrow system will certainly not allow the company to be a man in suits and shoes and throw a handful of ashes at first.
In this world, how many clean people can be spotless?
Not only that, many investment banks and funds on Wall Street that are closely related to the westrow system have also said that they may consider strengthening cooperation with aliya and giving up using the old and expensive Peng Bo terminal.
In the short term, it is unlikely that alias will replace the powerful and well-developed pembo terminal.
So, of course, it's just a threat, but it's also a threat that Michael bronberg can't ignore.Wall Street is paying close attention to the compass set off by aliya and pembo. On the more extensive public media, ordinary people begin to see more and more information about the new year's Forbes 400 rich list of the United States.
The new Forbes 400 list will be published in a new issue of Forbes magazine on October 10.
Forbes group also announced that the relevant list will appear on the official website of Forbes at the same time.
In recent years, because a young tycoon has been on the top of the fortune list, many members of the public have been numb to the number that makes people lose their imagination. However, it is this kind of top of the list that makes almost everyone want to know how much money a guy has made this year.
With the launch of danielis Entertainment Group in July, Simon has become a $300 billion rich man in many media. However, most media statistics do not have the authority accumulated by Forbes magazine for many years.
Malibu, daenerys studios.
In the twinkling of an eye, it was October 7th, another Friday.
Simon has been in Los Angeles this week, focusing on all stages of Denise Entertainment's series of film projects at the end of the year and next year.
The afternoon schedule is to discuss the post editing and special effects with the Jurassic Park 2 team.
He held a meeting to watch the sample film and discuss the details with the special effects team. From two o'clock in the afternoon to more than five o'clock, Amy Pascal personally brought the photographer to the special effects studio. He asked Simon, Michael Bay and other creators to set up a serious discussion pose in front of the console of the special effects studio. The pictures on the console display were carefully selected, And then I took a series of photos, which was the satisfactory end of the work.
The photos will be published as a press release on the official website of danielis entertainment, the group's official Facebook account, the igrit portal and some paper media platforms that make friends with danielis entertainment.
The title is something like "Simon westero and the film creator discuss the late Jurassic Park 2.".
During this period, it has been reported by the media that Simon has completely let go of the management of Denise entertainment group, and even affected the share price of Denise entertainment, which is probably the main purpose of some people.
The photos taken at the moment are a kind of clarification and counterattack.
In fact, if Simon doesn't want to, naturally no one can force him to do anything. Simon's strategy in the media at this stage is to make himself invisible as much as possible. However, as a result of his own efforts, Simon has deep feelings for danilisi's entertainment. When Amy brought it up at lunch, Simon readily agreed.
It's just a photo inside the studio, which can clarify that Simon didn't give up the management of danielis entertainment, and it can also play a role in promoting Jurassic Park 2. At the same time, it won't reveal much personal information. It can be said that he can kill many birds with one stone.
After finishing the work here, Simon returns to the administrative district on the third floor of the studio.
MGM CEO Shirley Lansing has been waiting in Simon's office with a couple.
Seeing Simon enter the door, the three get up together to say hello.
Shirley Lansing is surrounded by Barbara Brockley and Michael Wilson, half brothers and half sisters from Britain, who are also the two new leaders of the Brockley family who control half of the 007 series.
MGM used to be half dead until it was acquired by Sony, so it relied heavily on 007 series which has been flourishing for decades. Because of this dependence, the Bradley family, which owns half of 007's copyright, has been firmly in control of the classic spy series.
Times change.
Now MGM is not the one Simon remembers. In recent years, a series of blockbuster films have made MGM constantly recover. With Simon's support, there is no longer dependence on 007 series.
Each of you owns half of the copyright. In fact, you have the same power.
When MGM no longer relies on 007 series, its former power structure will change.
After the cooperative development of "007's golden eye" in advance, facing Simon's strong demand to take back the control right of 007 series, the Brockley family has also been tough. However, MGM no longer relies on 007. This series is all the interests and glory of the Brockley family. As a result, the initiative of both sides is completely transferred.
As the last generation leader of the Brockley family, Albert Brockley, was too old to be a director, the two heirs began to take a soft stance.
The golden eye of 007 was released in 1991, and the two sides fell out in early 1992.
Until now.
During this period, the broccoli family tried to reconcile many times, but Simon didn't agree.
Simon, of course, has no plan to refrigerate the 007 series permanently. He has been airing the 007 series for more than two years. Now MGM has recovered to a certain extent, which is enough to support the next stage of recovery and expansion. When the time is right, he will let go.
