Beverly Hills, Century City Intercontinental Hotel.

Simon walked out of the elevator and was welcomed by Shirley Lansing, who was already waiting. She personally led him through the corridor to a busy banquet hall. Some people who got the news were waiting at the door of the hall.

"Simon, let me introduce you," Shirley Lansing volunteered. "This is Bernd Eisinger, chairman of Constantine pictures."

"In fact, we know each other," Simon said. Without waiting for Lansing to continue, he reached out his hand to the middle-aged man with a simple and honest face in front of him. "Bourne, we meet again."

Bernd Eisinger shook hands with Simon with a smile: "yes, Simon, I'm glad we can work together this time."

Simon's earliest contact with Constantine film can be traced back to the recovery of the copyright of the magic four.

Later, Simon went to Germany once and had dinner with Bernd Eisinger.

Besides, there is not much intersection.

When it comes to Constantine pictures, the first thing people think of later is biochemical crisis. In fact, the German film company has produced many box office projects, and its business focuses on distribution. It is one of the largest film distribution companies in Europe.

Moreover, in the original time and space, Constantine pictures also had a close relationship with another Hollywood film company, because Bernd Eisinger was also its founder and major shareholder.

The company is called Pinnacle entertainment.

In this foreign cooperation plan, Constantine film will represent a group of German capital to participate in MGM's five packaging projects, accounting for 20%. According to the preliminary estimate of the total investment amount of the five films of 350 million US dollars, Constantine film will contribute 70 million US dollars, and will be responsible for part of the European distribution work.

Therefore, Constantine is one of Simon's most successful cases in guiding overseas capital.

Without this guidance, Bernd Eisinger will bet Pinnacle entertainment to enter the Hollywood production business in the next few years, and from the late 1990s, he will continue to participate in the production of a series of blockbuster films such as "Mrs. peron", "two big smokers" and "American Pie", and even reach the real "pinnacle" with his later "Twilight" series.

Now, because of danielis Entertainment's strong position in Hollywood, other major studios are having a hard time, not to mention the second - and third tier small film companies. Simon introduced these capital into MGM's packaging cooperation project at this time, further eliminating the possibility of similar capital crashing into Hollywood and even becoming bigger by accident.

Shirley Lansing was smiling and waiting for a friendly exchange before introducing others: "Simon, this is Mr. Lawrence bournbaum, chairman of forge investment fund in Germany This is Mr. Christian stern, President of German leader pictures And this one... "

Starting from Bernd Eisinger, he introduced six people in a row, four of whom are from Germany, which is also the main financing target of this package project.

Another one is from England and the other one is from Spain.

Simon has looked at the information again on the plane. The capital represented by these people behind the scenes respectively invested in the lowest 5% and the highest 20% of the project shares, accounting for 70% of the total investment of 350 million US dollars. MGM and Denise entertainment each accounted for half of the remaining 30%.

At the end, Shirley Lansing whispered in Simon's ear, "Mr. President's good friend." then she said, "Simon, this is Mr. Frank justra. He's from Canada. He's mainly in the mining business, but he's very interested in Hollywood."

Without Shirley Lansing's introduction, with so many memories of Hollywood in his mind, Simon has recognized this short, smart middle-aged man with gray hair and a good look.

Frank justra, founder of Lion Gate.

Unlike all kinds of speculative capital in Hollywood, which has been shot on the beach one after another, Lion Gate film was once the most powerful new film company to hit the quota of another big Hollywood studio. It not only produced the super popular "hunger game" series, but also merged the peak entertainment of "Twilight", even in the field of TV series, there was "Guangming" It's a masterpiece like "tell the madman.".

If it wasn't for the fixed pattern of Hollywood entertainment industry after the new century, it would be difficult for a single film production company to compete with the studios backed by large media groups. Lion Gate might have been promoted to the seventh largest film company in Hollywood at that time.

Although introduced by Clinton, Simon greets each other with a smile on the surface, but his heart is slightly hostile.

This is a troublemaker.

Because Frank justra is obviously not on the list of investors in this package project, the other party just came to Hollywood to get some contacts in the name of Clinton's good friends to prepare for the next step in the film industry.

According to the memory of previous lives, Simon also knows about the relationship between justra and Clinton.

In fact, the Canadian businessman succeeded in getting to the top of the American political pyramid by coordinating donations for Clinton. According to the law, foreigners are not allowed to make political donations to American politicians, but there are too many loopholes. For example, although Clinton has not yet established the Clinton Foundation, which later became famous or infamous, it still operates a "Clinton legal defense foundation", which nominally provides legal aid to vulnerable groups. This foundation can accept overseas donations.In addition, even justra's own fortune making process is very typical.

In the 1980s, justra initially worked as a stockbroker at Merrill Lynch Securities. Later, he accumulated enough contacts and established a financial company focusing on mining financing. Through capital operation, he accumulated the first bucket of gold. Then, in the 1990s, through Clinton's introduction, it successfully entered Hollywood, established Lion Gate film, and gradually reached its peak.

In fact, justra has never given up his business.

On the original timeline, in 2005, justra was once involved in a big uranium trading scandal led by Clinton, involving more than $30 million in donations to the Clinton Foundation.

In Simon's view, this man is very similar to another professional broker, who wanders between capital and power.

That's right.

Jeffrey Epstein.

The same small broker background, the same through the capital operation of the rise of the first bucket of gold, the same rely on the relationship with the powerful people gradually made a fortune.

Later, Western media constantly emphasized that Epstein was a pimp. It's hard to say whether it was deliberately done in order to cover up another identity of the other party. After all, Lori express is just a personal hobby. By the way, it's a strange thing that you can earn hundreds of millions of dollars by pimping some "noble" guests.

Further to the depth of reasoning, in fact, is a tangled all over the sky network.

Not much.

If justra doesn't plan to stir up Hollywood, Simon is very interested in cultivating him as a dark son like Epstein.

Without chatting with justra, Simon rejoined all the gold owners of MGM's packaging project and turned to other guests at the reception. As long as the creators of the three identified projects of "alien 2", "Independence Day" and "beyond time and space contact" are in Los Angeles, they are basically present.

The first person to come to Simon is Natasha henstretch, who is working on alien 2.

Alien 2 was filmed in the Los Angeles area. We have a weekend off, so we can attend the reception.

I haven't seen you for a long time, and this girl is a little worried about whether someone remembers herself.

On the original plane, henstretch signed a one-year agreement. Originally, he could be free after one year. However, after becoming someone's lover, not to mention the luxury house that has been recorded in his name, but also the superiority of being treated carefully by all kinds of people around him. He can easily get various roles and endorsements, enjoy all kinds of benefits as his woman, and enter the pure coffee of her It's hard for a female star to reach the social circle, and even some festivals can receive valuable gifts.

And so on.

When she got used to this kind of life, Natasha henstretch even doubted whether she could survive if she lost all of them one day.

Besides, she was only 19 when she was with him.

Now 22.

So young, where need to worry?

So more than two years have passed unconsciously.

The only problem is that in the past two years, she has seen a man with one hand.

If it wasn't for a pair of Wai's maids, they all doubted whether they had been dumped. One servant and one guard, which is the standard configuration of Simon's lover, is a combination of monitoring and serving. If you want to cut off the relationship, you just need to send them away, and someone doesn't demand it at all.

Seeing Natasha approaching, Simon naturally raised his hand and hugged the girl. He praised, "Natasha, you are so beautiful tonight."

Feeling the unimpeded nature of the man's voice in front of her, Natasha relaxed and boldly offered to kiss him back: "thank you, Simon."

Then he went to his side and took each other's arm.

I'm not going to let it go tonight.

As the most powerful person in Hollywood, we have been used to the flowing women around Simon westero, and there is no difference in this. Some of the actresses who had seen westero appear and their eyes shine even envied Natasha henschucci.

Next, say hello to the crew of independence day.

As the first blockbuster after "Batman vs Superman: Dawn of justice" and the first project beyond DC movie universe, Roland Emmerich is very aware that this movie means whether he can get rid of the label of DC movie universe director, so he attaches great importance to it.

After several parties' negotiations, Emmerich finally took away $90 million of budget, which is equivalent to "beyond time and space contact" and $15 million more than the original.

In addition, the total investment of the first three projects reached US $220 million.

The last two projects only have a share of US $130 million, with an average of US $65 million. Although they also reach the level of blockbuster, their volume is obviously behind.

Simon personally intervened in the selection of the creators of independence day, basically following the original version, including bill Pullman, Jeff goblin, Will Smith, who has become famous for his "steel bone" role, and Sherra ward, who plays the perfect housewife Bree vandikan in the new version of desperate housewives, who plays Jeff goblin's ex-wife who works in the White House.The overall production line-up is very cost-effective, with three male owners totaling only US $10 million. However, their influence is no less than that of Mel Gibson and Harrison Ford, who pay more than US $10 million. After the success of this project, the situation of Hollywood superstars who have been hit by DC movie universe and other blockbusters will further decline.

It's also a long time no see. Shira ward is still as intellectual and elegant as before, with a bit of sharpness that people dare not easily approach.

Simon, of course, is the one who dares to approach.

And the woman gently hugged, released, looked up and down, praised: "still so beautiful, by the way, are you married?"

"I'm married," said Sheila ward. She could not help thinking of the scenes she had been with the little man several times, and the 100 sets of clothes and gifts that she remembered deeply. She glanced at a vase beside the man. "I'm not a little girl. Of course I want to get married. The baby is one year old."

Simon nodded approvingly: "in fact, I prefer to be married."

Shira ward gave him a glance, more and more amorous feelings: "look at the battle like China, you think it's a big man, or you like to mess."

"Don't you know that the higher you stand, the more people like to mess around?"

"Now I know."

Chatting and joking, although he noticed the flaw in women's emotion, Simon didn't take advantage of it and took Natasha to other places.

"Beyond time and space contact" will not start shooting until the end of the year. Except for the director Robert zemagis, Simon, the leading actor and heroine, plans to change.

The heroine has been given to Sandra Bullock.

After all, over the years, Sandra's popularity is not as bad as that of Judy Foster's, and her image and age match very well. What's more, there's no reason to give opportunities to outsiders because of their personal relationship.

The leading actor has to be replaced.

Matthew McConaughey is too ruffian to feel like a priest in or out of the play.

Simon first thought of Nicholas Cage.

Now cage is still a handsome force one, and the play is broad, that kind of melancholy temperament just in line with the pastor's setting.

Just give up soon.

It's too expensive.

The new version of "mission impossible 2" starring cage in this summer program will be released soon. In addition to some other blockbuster projects he has participated in in in recent years, now cage plays in commercial films, and the price of the film will not be less than $10 million.

Beyond time contact is a standard blockbuster commercial.

Moreover, because it's a big female movie, with Sandra as the core and few male roles, it's a bit overqualified to invite cage, and it's not easy to talk about the pay.

There's also Keanu Reeves.

From "Lola Run", Sandra and Keanu are a pair of screen CP, but they have just cooperated with "speed of life and death" before. Even if we don't talk about the pay, it's not suitable to continue to partner in the short term.

So it's still picking.

Anyway, it's still early to shoot.

Simon had a discussion with zemigis at the reception. The standard is to be handsome, very handsome, the kind that can make a woman cry. The reason is that Sandra is not beautiful enough and needs to make up for the loss of the audience with a man's face.

All right.

He was hammered by an angry Sandra on the spot.

Then there's alien 2.

This project has already started shooting. After several discussions, based on the continuation of the first routine, the plot of the sequel has nothing to do with the original. The core point is the duel between the first generation and the second generation.

The story goes on to the first one.

After Natasha's heterologous species were killed, humans brought back some heterologous tissue samples for further research. As a result, the second generation of heterologous species with gene mutation was cultivated.

Smarter, stronger, bloodthirsty.

Because of the negligence of the researchers, the second generation of the alien escaped from the secret base again, and the official had to summon the first team to hunt down the second generation of the alien.

It turned out to be a failure.

In desperation, someone proposed a plan to take the lead. The first generation of alien species were cloned through tissue samples, and the territory instinct of alien species mutual exclusion was used to make two generations of alien species kill each other.

The scheme worked unexpectedly.

Natasha plays the role of the first generation of the alien after a hard fight to kill the second generation of the alien, human beings do not kill the donkey, but will ice up the first generation of the alien.

The story ends.

Of course, it's not over.

If there's a third one, it's a story of three generations.

However, it is obvious that Natasha henstretch is like Schwarzenegger in the terminator series to ensure the success of the series. In the future sequels, no matter which way, she has to show her face, so as not to give people a feeling of less. The original henstretch didn't participate in the third film, mainly because the second film of the series was messed up. The sequels of the later films didn't enter the cinema at all, and directly entered the video channel.If the box office of the new version of "alien 2" fails, the series will also adopt the mode of direct video production.

Because the videos in the alien series are selling very well.

Since the focus is on the duel between two generations of different races, the second generation of different actors is also very important. If they are too different from Natasha henstretch, their attraction will be greatly reduced.

The final role is Megan Gail, an actor and model from Australia.

In recent years, a large number of Hollywood films have been filmed in Australia, and Australian actors have unconsciously gained more opportunities to stand out.

Megan Gail is one of them.

Ordinary people have never heard of this name. However, in the circle of manggai fans, many people know that Megan Gail almost became the actor of Diana Prince in George Miller's version of just alliance. All the makeup photos have been completed, but the shooting is just about to start. Because of all kinds of bullshit inside Time Warner, this project finally failed, leaving only one film named "justice alliance" in 2007 The death of George Miller's just alliance.

However, later Megan Gail took part in George Miller's masterpiece Mad Max: the road to fury. Many people's first thought should be that this model is one of the harem of the immortal old Joe.

None of them.

Mad Max: the road to fury was released in 2015.

In the movie, Megan Gail plays one of the "moms" who stand naked on a high platform as bait to hunt passers-by, because at that time, the other is 39 years old and has missed the wonder woman, so he has no other chance to turn over.

Now Megan Gail is only 21 years old.

One of the reasons why George Miller chose Megan Gail to play wonder woman is that the image of each other is very similar. Well, it's the biggest difference between the drama version of wonder woman Linda Carter and the film version of Gail gado. The reason why alien 2 can choose the other side is also because of this.

Because in this sequel, Natasha is responsible for feelings, and Megan Gail is gorgeous. She is not only hot, but also 180cm taller than Natasha's 178cm.

When Simon greets with the "alien 2" team, two generations of "alien" start to sparkle unconsciously.

The spark between women, if not Lily tendency, is probably because of men, this time is obviously the latter. Megan Gail, who signed the actor contract and the model contract under wma and elite respectively, was only 21 years old and had no name before. She was not even a famous model, let alone a supermodel. However, she has been in this circle for several years. It's very clear how Natasha henschucci came to the top, not to mention meeting Simon westero at this time.

If you can't grasp such opportunities, you may never meet them again in your life.

So I'm very active.

After several small interactions between eyes and limbs, Natasha boldly took Simon's other arm.

After chatting with the "alien 2" team for a while, Simon already has one on his side.

After all, I just came back, and I don't plan to stay out tonight. All the people who should say hello to me at this reception have already said hello. I'm about to send off the two girls and leave. I unexpectedly saw Peter Jackson, who is red and full of spirit in the crowd not far away.

So he took the two girls.

Seeing Simon, Peter Jackson with a cocktail in his hand was very enthusiastic and took the initiative to greet him.

Simon looked at Jackson's central position surrounded by other people, and laughed to understand the situation of the New Zealand director during this period. With the spread of the news of "the universe of Chinese movies", Peter Jackson's role as director of the Lord of the rings has spread.

Looking at the success of the DC movie universe, it's not hard to imagine how Peter Jackson will become the core creator of the "China Film universe" series in the future.

What's more, there are a lot of opportunities in this series.

Even if we understand that Simon westero is the absolute controller of the series, it is certainly beneficial to make friends with Peter Jackson at this time. Therefore, the director must be "hot" in the circle in the near future.

"Simon, nice to see you again."

Peter Jackson is still respectful to Simon, but he drinks a little too much, talks a little, and shakes his hand to Simon.

Simon's mouth was still smiling, but instead of taking Jackson's hand, he said to the people around him, "I'll talk to Peter. Let's break up."

There were few nobody who could enter the party, but in front of Simon, no one dared to carry any airs and scattered one after another.

Peter Jackson is just a little bit too much and not drunk. Seeing that Simon refuses to shake hands with him, he also feels uncomfortable. He looks around and wants to put down his glass. As a result, it's empty all around, so he can only continue to hold the glass awkwardly.

Simon looked him up and down. "Peter, have you been feeling good lately?"Peter Jackson, of course, understood what Simon was asking, grinned and became more embarrassed. He was a smooth and sophisticated man, at this time how still don't understand, Simon westero has been dissatisfied with him.

Simon motioned to Megan Gail, who was very understanding. She took the initiative to pick up Peter Jackson's hot glass and put it on the round table not far away.

When the cup was taken away, Jackson relaxed a little and said, "Simon, I'm so sorry. I may, well, I shouldn't drink so much."

Simon shook his head slightly: "Peter, you have to understand that everything you have felt recently is false, because you have not really succeeded. Even, I now say that I changed my mind, the next second, you are nothing."

Hearing Simon's words, Peter Jackson was very excited. He didn't feel drunk any more: "I I know, Simon. I'm very sorry. "

Simon suddenly asked, "have you seen that Mr. zombie?"

"Yes."

"How many times?"

"I don't quite remember," Peter Jackson said vaguely, but immediately solemnly, "but definitely more than 10 times."

"In this case, go back to New Zealand tomorrow," Simon said with some satisfaction. "Do a good job of ghost of terror, and do a good job of the Lord of the rings in the future. At that time, you will enjoy the scenery you really deserve, not the soap bubble now."

"Simon, I, I swear."

"So, what are you doing here?"

Peter Jackson was stunned, said goodbye to Simon in a low voice, and turned away from the busy banquet hall without hesitation.
