When Stephen Sommers finished, David giller nodded and then shook his head, saying, "Stephen, first of all, this is a great story, but if you plan to start production immediately, I'm sure I don't have time. I've promised fox to supervise alien 4. I just talked to Joe Ross. So, don't you need to prepare for mummy 2? "
Before accepting the Mummy series, Stephen Sommers was just a budding new director with no bargaining chip, so he signed a package contract for the trilogy at one time.
However, when he heard David giller's question, Stephen Sommers showed a slightly cunning smile: "if Denise is optimistic about extreme cold, I believe Simon would agree that I should shoot this film first."
This sentence obviously has some subtext.
Around the men and women, some people immediately understand, some people think a little bit about the general understanding, some people are confused. Gwyneth Paltrow looks suspiciously at her boyfriend in most people's understanding eyes. Peter is not easy to explain at this time, so he can only pretend not to notice.
It's very simple.
The Mummy series is just a cooperation project with fox. If danielis is optimistic about extreme cold and invests in the production alone, it's her own son.
Of course, the natural one is preferred.
In fact, the production of mission impossible 2 is an obvious reference.
The first "mission impossible" was born in 1993. With no other blockbuster, the sequel of paramount was not released until the summer of 1996, with an interval of nearly three years. Few of them believe it if there is no intention of Denise deliberately delaying to make way for other films of her family.
After all, the film schedule and film resources are limited.
"Mission impossible" series three years to develop a, and two years to develop a, occupied schedule and resources are certainly not a concept.
The situation of extreme cold is slightly different, but it is also similar. In the final analysis, the interests of danelis entertainment must be the one that needs to be protected first.
David giller, a mature man, of course understood immediately. He also laughed and said, "well, Stephen, you should actually talk to Amy or Simon directly."
"The main thing is that the script hasn't been finished yet," Stephen Sommers said. "I'm going to go to Hawaii for a holiday and finish the script by the way."
"I wish you success first. If you need any help, please contact me at any time," said David Gilles, holding out his hand to Sommers, shaking his hand, raising his glass to the others and turning away.
Following David giller's direction, Brad Pitt notices John Woo, who is more lively not far away. He takes back his eyes, smiles, and takes the initiative to greet Sommers, Fang Kimer and two British roses. He can't help but feel some emotion about Sommers' just introduced "extreme cold".
After last year's "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of justice," Brad Pitt's Superman role won't come back to life until "justice alliance" a few years later, and he certainly can't be idle these years.
Now the main target is John Woo's new film face changing.
Although Linda Vargas hinted that he had great hope, it was not 100% after all. If you don't get this project, it seems that Stephen Sommers' extreme cold is not bad either.
Brad Pitt certainly heard Sommers just said that he wanted Harrison Ford to take part in the film. However, in Hollywood, even if the film is finished, there may be a replacement, so nothing is certain until it is released.
So I didn't rush to say hello to John Wu on the other side. After we introduced each other, we chatted warmly.
Stephen Sommers and Brad Pitt are chatting with each other. Originally, Kate Beckinsale just came to meet them, but she didn't have the patience to continue to participate. She quietly pulled Rachel Vicky. She wanted to continue, and felt Kate's little action, so she had to smile at everyone and walk away with the people around her.
This kind of party occasion, chat up and so on are very common.
The two British roses, however, seem to be naturally insulated. They belong to the kind that no one comes forward to talk about. Fortunately, they are not sociable people. Even if they have no other thoughts, so many guests at this party can always find several interesting targets.
Rachel Vichy stopped Robert De Niro, who had just arrived, for a few words. Finally, she asked for an autograph. As a young woman in literature and art, she looked forward to cooperating with De Niro when she was in University. She was a little fan.
After a round trip, they came to the swimming pool.
Katlyso took off his high-heeled shoes and sat down beside the pool. He dipped his feet in the cold water and shook a pair of slender feet comfortably. He looked at some mermaids in the pool curiously.
Rachel is not as big as Kate. She sits quietly beside her and looks at the pool. She smiles and asks, "do you want to swim?"
Kate raised her chin. "Of course not. I'm not a foil."
The girls in bikini in the swimming pool are obviously supermodel level, and several of them are very familiar. In this case, other women swim in the water, which is humiliating. After all, few of them can compare with the Goblins who need to eat by their face and figure, so they have been exercising carefully for many years.As they were talking, one of the Mermaids swam over and gracefully climbed to the edge of the pool to shake her hair. Then she said hello to Rachel with a smile: "Hello, Miss Vicky, I just saw mummy recently. You are so beautiful in it. Oh, of course, the real person is more beautiful."
"Thank you," Rachel politely agreed, shaking hands with each other, not forgetting to introduce with the girl's eyes: "this is Kate Beckinsale, she is one of the heroines of" Thunderbolt baby ", which is released at the end of the year."
"Then I must go and see," she said, shaking Kate again. "My name is Fernanda Lima."
Rachel said with a smile, "I know, angel Vimy. Frankly, your figure is really enviable."
"Oh, thank you."
Kate turned her eyes a little and asked bitterly, "Lima, why do you stay in the water all the time and don't you plan to come up and play for a while?"
Fernanda Lima didn't seem to feel Kate's pricking and said with a smile, "because we are mermaids tonight. Of course the Mermaid will stay in the water. Kate, would you like to come down with me? "
"No, I can't be a mermaid."
It's probably to see Lima and Kate have a good chat. Several other girls in the pool also swam over, but they didn't climb on the side of Kate who soaked their feet in the water. Instead, they lined up one by one on the other side of Fernando Lima. A total of six girls watched together.
Kate is embarrassed when she is stared at by six pairs of eyes. She can only take back her feet and sit by the side of the pool like Rachel.
One by one, Fernanda introduced: "EVA, Daniela, Tricia, Heidi, Melania, and finally little Angela."
The girl with a prefix on the far right was dissatisfied, but her expression was obviously a little proud: "Phil, you are jealous. Simon clearly said that I am fox, not Angela."
"It's very small, isn't it?" said Fernanda with a smile
The girl named Angela lindworth didn't retort any more. She gestured to a waitress not far away, who soon came over with a pile of bathrobes.
Then six girls went out to take a bath with the beauty. They left the pool one after another with the sound of water. They took the bathrobes handed by the waitress and put them on their bodies in turn. They joked and walked towards the villa.
All of a sudden, Kate and her two girls are staring at each other.
Isn't that mermaid?
Don't you mean to stay in the water?
I can't believe what a beautiful woman says.
Yeah.
Who said that?
Then, as the six girls walk through the crowd to enter the luxury villa, Kate reacts that this kind of chatting up insulates her constitution Suddenly, he turned to Rachel angrily, "how many women does he have?"
Rachel blinked and subconsciously denied, "what does this have to do with me?"
I don't have a Wei maid.
Kate forced her eyes to depict Rachel, as if to depict a label. Then she looked around for someone's figure: "Rachel, you say, why hasn't he come yet?"
How could it not come?
Rachel did not answer, but looked in the direction where the six girls had just left.
Kate is so smart. She looks at it together and thinks she is stupid. She puts on her shoes, stands up, pulls Rachel up and goes to the villa. Soon after they arrived, because they were directly brought here by the waiter, Kate thought that if someone arrived, they should be in the crowd, but she ignored the bright lights on the other side of the villa
at the same time, she realized that some guy who said he didn't want to or didn't want to was thinking about it all the time.
Otherwise, how could it be sharper than her.
When the two women entered the villa hall, many people were here.
Instead of wasting time on the first floor, Katra leads Rachel, who seems to be hesitant, up the stairs to the second floor, where the atmosphere becomes much quieter.
Look around.
There are two bodyguards on the east side of the corridor on the second floor, and nothing on the west side.
She turned to the East decisively and was naturally blocked. Kate didn't panic and asked, "is Simon here? Can you tell him? I'm Kate Beckinsale and Rachel Vichy."
One of them said, "please wait a moment, miss."
Leave a person to a room door, knocked, and said something inside, quickly signaled that they can go.
I finally found you.
Kate is a little excited, holding the palm of her hand. Obviously, Rachel is sweating. But when she comes to the door of the room, she just looks inside and regrets.
Simon was there.
However, there are other people in the room, including Robert De Niro, who just asked for signature by Rachel, Ella doechman, President of gaomen film, Jonathan Friedman, head of wma, Michael Eisner, former chairman of Disney, and so on. All in all, they are a group of big men.The two girls came running over, which was out of season.
Seeing that a group of unscrupulous male creatures around someone are obviously gloating at them, they can't turn around and leave at this time. Kate has to come in with a stiff head. Of course, she pulls Rachel, who is also stiff. When she thinks about it, she must have an ugly smile and say, "Simon, and everyone, we're just here Say hello
One of them, a middle-aged man with refined temperament, didn't want to embarrass them. He took the initiative to help them out and motioned to the East: "go to the next room. The women are all over there."
Kate subconsciously, um, instinctively to step back, but soon realized that it was still to see Simon's reaction.
Simon, with a smile on his face and a helpless expression, pointed to Robert egger, who was talking. Then he said to Kate, "you go down, have a good time, and don't come back."
"Well, then Goodbye. "
Then she pulled Rachel out of the room again and took the initiative to close the door. Then she patted her chest and let out a deep breath.
It's scary.
As he was about to walk up the stairs, he thought of the words of the middle-aged man. His eyes couldn't help glancing at the door of the room which was a little more inside. He moved a little curiously. But, in a moment, a chill ran directly from the soles of her feet to her brain. Kate pulled Rachel to the stairs quickly, even though she didn't want to.
Those guys, that's disgusting.
The women are all over there What woman?
What kind of woman can it be?!
It's just embarrassing to run into a bunch of big men.
When you run into Janet westero, who knows if you're going to get out alive.
Just now that seems to be the senior manager of danielis entertainment, forget what it's called, and look polite. I didn't expect it to be so bad.
Alas, sure enough, what kind of people bring out what kind of subordinates.
Inside the room on the second floor, a group of men couldn't help laughing as they watched the two girls retreat.
For such a lively moment, we resumed a topic before the appearance of the two women. First, Robert egger, who was just about to take two women seriously, said: "Simon, I don't think even if you solve the problem of controllable nuclear fusion, it will bring much change to the future of mankind. I know that your goal is to create nearly unlimited productivity, so that we can ensure that most people can enjoy perfect social welfare even if they don't work at all. But, do you know Perhaps, well, in 1968, when you were born, an animal behaviorist named John Calhoun did an experiment called "rat paradise", which is similar to your theory of infinite productivity. It provides rats in a space with absolutely rich food and water, so that they can live and reproduce freely without worry. As a result, rat paradise still collapses. "
"I know about this experiment," said mark Belford, vice president of global operations for danielis entertainment, sitting on the other side of the sofa. "I took a sociology course in college, and my teacher happened to talk about it. What's more, the teacher's answer is that human beings need war if they want to survive for a long time. Simon, don't you like Chinese culture very much? My teacher used this very typical ancient country as an example. Because of the special geographical situation, China has been continuously attacked and plundered by the northern cavalry and shooting nationalities for more than 2000 years. However, this country has not perished, but has survived to the present. On the contrary, many ancient civilizations without natural enemies in a superior environment have disappeared quietly. "
Michael Eisner, who is no longer in the circle and is still running to join in the fun, is comfortably stuck in the single sofa, idly cocking his legs and saying, "I think you are too pessimistic. The collapse of mouse paradise is because they have only instinct and can't think. China's case, well, I don't know much about it. However, I think what Simon has done is to provide us with a possibility to solve problems better, right, Simon? "
Simon nodded and said, "that's right."
"But I think as long as there are classes in human beings, the more developed the productive forces are, the greater the gap between different classes will be. When the gap is so big that people are desperate, the world will be more unstable," egger said
Simon couldn't help asking, "Bob, have you seen the shell attack team, too?"
"What?"
"A Japanese cartoon, some of its ideas coincide with what you just said."
Jonathan Friedman said: "I've seen this comic book, which my son bought. I thought it was good when I read it by chance and finished it unconsciously. It's really shocking. Simon, maybe you can buy the copyright and change it into a movie."
Simon took a sip of the wine, nodded and said, "I'll think about it."
In fact, there is a slightly out of place sigram Group Chairman Edgar Bronfman Jr. in the room.
The Canadian tycoon, who controls Paramount Pictures and Orion pictures, flew over from Toronto to attend the party. In fact, his main purpose is to promote the production of Mission Impossible 3 as soon as possible. Don't delay for three years like the second movie. Sigram can't afford it.I just didn't expect that a group of top Hollywood bigwigs would get together to discuss the future of human beings The topic of bullshit.
All right.
Edgar Bronfman, Jr. was about to interrupt when the door was knocked again, but Amy Pascal appeared at the door with another white man in his arm.
See two people appear, everybody rises one after another.
But Amy motioned to everyone not to be polite, pushed the man around him, and said, "this is Bernard. OK, Jennie, they are next door, right? I'm over. You can talk."
With that, Amy left a man irresponsibly and turned to the next room.
It seems that Well, a little shy.
In fact, we all know why.
This is Amy's fiance, Bernard winlaub. Because Amy is pregnant, they plan to get married on their own holiday. However, because it's a busy summer holiday, not only is the wedding simple, but Amy doesn't plan to spend her honeymoon immediately. Instead, they plan to postpone it to September.
Bernard winlaub is a film critic and playwright, and a special correspondent for the film and television industry of the New York Times. It is precisely because of winlaub's work that they met. They soon got to know each other and further developed their feelings. Unconsciously, they had already talked about marriage. What's more surprising is that Bernard winlaub is 21 years older than Amy Pascal.
Obviously, there is a big gap between women and men. Such an age gap can only be said to be true love.
The identity of any person at the scene is enough to get rid of Bernard winlaub for a few blocks, but after all, it's Amy's fiance, and everyone gives face. Take the initiative to say hello, Simon also let the other party sit down on the sofa next to him, then continue to chat.
As for next door.
When Amy appeared, led by Janet, a group of familiar women were not so polite.
