Chapter 988: 994

Los Angeles, Malibu danelis studios.

Jeter Lee and his agent Jeremy arrived at the No.1 office building of the movie city administrative district. Two other Hollywood movie humanists, Greg Riemann and Tony Gilroy, who met frequently during this time, have arrived and are waiting in the lounge outside Simon's office.

It's July 25, Thursday afternoon.

Several people on the scene will have 30 minutes to meet with Simon westero at the next five o'clock.

Five o'clock in the afternoon is the time to get off work. However, Simon westero can arrange his work at this time, and other people naturally have no opinions.

Seeing the arrival of Jett Lee, several people gave warm greetings. With a few minutes to go before the meeting time, they discussed a project under negotiation recently. A young tycoon personally proposed an idea. The name has been finalized in advance. The English name is simple and clear, "take".

If translated into Simon's memory later, it can be said that the name of "hurricane rescue".

Simon was not satisfied with the several ideas provided by the new world film team around jet Lee some time ago, so he did it himself again. Now, of course, he doesn't have time to write the script himself. He just provides a general idea. Just in those days, Disney, controlled by Vivendi, announced several blockbusters of his own. Among them, "the fifth element" cooperated with Luc Besson, which made Simon think of the action film "hurricane rescue" written by Luc Besson, who once starred Liam nisson.

Luc Besson, who is known as "Spielberg" in France, has two obvious tendencies in his personal works. His films directed by himself are full of ideas, such as "blue sea and blue sky", "the fifth element", "the killer is not too cold" and so on. His screenwriting works are often Luc Besson's assembly line, "taxi express", "death express" and "hurricane rescue" 》Or something.

Of course, occasionally the two aspects will overlap. There are cases of success and failure, such as super body and Anna.

Among them, hurricane rescue is definitely the most successful series on feisong production line. Since Simon brings it at will, it's the production line after all. It's not against Jeter Lee's will to change it a little.

In fact, Luc Besson and Jeter Lee worked together on the kiss of the dragon. It's just that the commercial performance of the film is very general, which is beyond Simon's consideration.

The rest room.

Several people who arrived in advance chatted for a while. New world film president Denny Morris arrived at the time point. Girl a also came to inform us to come to Simon's office.

Returning from Ukraine on Tuesday, Simon immediately threw himself into the work of the vistro system that he could never finish if he wanted to.

Before the five o'clock meeting, Simon had just finished a conference call with AOL to discuss the results of AOL's $3 billion corporate bond issue a few days ago.

The financing was very smooth.

The 10-year and 20-year corporate bonds of US $3 billion each account for half. Although the interest rate is lower than the average level of the industry in the same period, relying on the hot development momentum of AOL and the reputation of the whole westero system, these bonds were quickly sold out by investors all over the world.

Moreover, during the whole process, AOL only paid 1.3% of the financing amount, equivalent to $39 million of commission cost, which is also far lower than the industry level.

This is the result that the major underwriters compete to give the maximum discount in order to ensure that the vistrow system is a big customer.

You know, in addition to several major bond issues and Verizon IPOs that have been finalized in the second half of the year, there are numerous small-scale financing operations in the whole westrow system. Such a large number of customers, whether Wall Street in the United States or the city of London, no investment bank will not do its best to attract them.

In the final analysis, it is still the current wave of new technology that the market is too hot.

Some time ago, the market value of igritte broke through 400 billion and became the first company with a market value of 400 billion US dollars. Everyone found that the Nasdaq market did not show any sign of peaking, on the contrary, it was still rising strongly. It seemed that there was a momentum to directly create one or even several trillion US dollar Big Macs.

History has changed so much that even Simon can't judge how far the NASDAQ index will go this time.

Simon stood up to shake hands with them one by one, and then sat down in the reception area.

Simon's three new "hurricane rescue" creators, in addition to Jeter Lee, the other two Doug Riemann and Tony Gilroy are also familiar to Hollywood fans in the original time and space. Both of them are the creators of the "espionage" series. One is the director of the first song, and also directed "the Smiths". The other is the director of the "espionage" series I'm a good writer.

Now the three people, in Hollywood, can only be regarded as outstanding, this can be twisted together by Simon.

Simon provided ideas and inspired three people to participate in the script creation. Tony Gilroy is the main actor, Doug Riemann is the internal director, and Jeter Lee is the actor and action director.Now that the main creator has been changed, it is impossible for the plot to follow the original. In fact, it has changed a lot.

And, inevitably, in order to make up for Jeter Lee's Asian popularity defect, the story naturally transforms into a brother movie model, similar to detective Beverly, lethal weapons, and Jack Cheng's and Chris Tucker's rush hour series.

The three even discussed a three lead model.

Sit down, Simon went straight to the theme without much nonsense and said to the three humanitarians on the sofa next to him, "I've seen the outline of the play and some drafts. Your three leading characters are very creative, because they are involved in three races, and the burden of race is also wonderful. However, if we adopt this story framework, we will only get another trio's rush hour I don't know if the audience will buy it. I certainly won't. moreover, it deviates from the core of my creativity. I need a crisp R-class action movie, the three main characters will certainly slow down the rhythm of the story. In fact, even if it's double male, I need to focus on jet's Kung Fu. For the next complete script creation, I want you to follow what I just said. Is there a problem? "

When Simon finished, Jeter Lee looked at each other and nodded slightly.

In a word, if we adopt the mode of black, white and yellow, the part of Jett Lee's play will definitely be compressed. However, Jett Lee did not object in the process of script discussion. After all, he did not have enough confidence in his Hollywood debut, so it was inevitable for him to seek stability.

Simon understood about jet Lee's idea, but he didn't agree. Seeing the three nodded, he said, "well, let's brainstorm. You can also talk about your own ideas."

The story line of the black characters was deleted. After a discussion, a new framework of the script was quickly formed.

Zhao Qiang, who immigrated to the United States in his early years, married and had children, and opened a Chinese restaurant by the way, welcomed his younger sister Zhao Min, who arrived in the United States to study in pursuit of another American dream. As a result, the girl was abducted soon after she arrived in the United States. The disappearance of her younger sister made Zhao Qiang, who had been practicing Chinese Kung Fu since childhood, fall into a state of violence, chasing her all the way from the United States to France and killing her everywhere.

In addition, Zhao Min is abducted because Jack, an American white best friend of Zhao Qiang, rashly takes the girl to the nightclub. Out of guilt, Jack follows Zhao Qiang all the way to find Zhao Min, and then stares at the dog in all kinds of violent acts of Zhao Qiang.

The story ends well.

There's a potential sequel.

About Zhao Qiang's happy family of three, if the film is successful and a sequel is developed, Zhao Qiang's daughter can be kidnapped again.

All right.

Capitalists have no bottom line.

Unlike the funny kung fu and gags of Jack Cheng and Chris Tucker's "rush hour" series, what Simon wants is the hard core violence that Jeter Lee fought all the way to the end, which can also distinguish the two Kung Fu stars to the greatest extent.

In addition, the core of the story, family love, can also break through the racial barriers of the characters and realize the empathy of more audiences, which is also the key factor for the original hurricane rescue series to be more successful than feisong's other assembly line action movies.

Half an hour is not a long time.

Simon fixed the frame of the story directly, and Jeter Lee had a discussion on the action style and shooting techniques, and 30 minutes passed quickly.

After leaving Simon's office, Doug Riemann and Denny Morris separated. Doug Riemann first asked the other two people to attend a party in the circle tonight. Recently, he got to know each other very well, and several people agreed to come down. In addition to continuing to discuss the script, he probably understood that Doug Riemann wanted to introduce some people to the project.

It's also interesting to say that the three main creators, Tony Gilroy is CAA's client, kit Lee is signed by wma, and Doug Riemann belongs to ICM.

When you notice this, sometimes it's hard to guess if it's someone's way of balance.

Simon has always attached great importance to the balance between the three major brokerage companies in Hollywood, and will not deliberately ignore the second tier brokerage companies to avoid the dominance of the three.

However, it's a complete coincidence this time. The main reason is that all three of them are Simon's special focus, and they are very suitable for the project of Hurricane rescue. For example, Doug Riemann, although he has only finished one full-time prodigal son, this filmmaker is also a kung fu movie fan like Quentin. He likes Hong Kong movies very much, which is why he later became famous in Hollywood The foundation of action film director.

Tony Gilroy, Simon is preparing for the spy series.

Doug Riemann invited the other two people to join hurricane rescue in order to bring in friends from his own circle. Simon westero personally provided creative projects. Even if he was just a supporting role, he was eager to be a Hollywood star. Doug Riemann wanted to recommend his best friend Jon fereau or Sam Rockwell as the leading actor this time.

It's just that these two names, later on, will be expanded to a large number.

For example, Robert Downey Jr., who was still addicted to drugs at this time, was also under ICM, and he was already familiar with people like Jon farrow. Downey, as a famous second generation star in Hollywood, and Judy foster, who was also the second generation star, were close friends. There were also close friends like Mel Gibson around Judy foster. Later, Gibson was banned, and Judy foster always tried to help him Help each other, and Downey addicted to drug addiction can not extricate themselves, it is these friends forced to send each other to rehab.Hollywood is a circle.

In fact, sometimes there is another more closely related layer, the calling chain, which is also a magnificent net.

This is a digression.

For hurricane rescue, both CAA and wma, all parties are watching closely.

Simon doesn't care much about these Hollywood connections. He just needs to get the right actors to send off the hurricane rescue team and stay busy until seven o'clock before he gets home from work.

Janet's been a little depressed lately.

The man in the family ran out and fooled around for more than a week. Another Jennifer accompanied the family to Atlanta to watch the Olympic Games. She just came back this afternoon.

Finally back.

Otherwise, she would simply leave a few little annoying people at home and run away from home. It's a terrible thing to look after children.

When Simon comes home, he sees the female assistant who is back to home life and Janet who is finally relaxing and watching the sunset on the sofa beside the glass curtain wall. After saying hello to Jennifer holding little snow, she comes to the curtain wall and immediately looks like she wants to hug her.

Simon reached out to pick up the woman and was pulled down on the sofa by Janet. She was a soft woman and a soft coquettish. She gave her a kiss on Janet's lips and said with a smile, "OK, isn't Janet she back?"

Janet put her head forward, bit Simon's lips and ground her teeth. Then she put her hand around Simon's waist to keep him from getting up. Feeling the heavy pressure of men, she hummed a few words comfortably: "Dad wants me to have two more children. I don't want them. Children are so terrible."

Simon wanted to turn his side so that all the money would not fall on Janet. He was stopped by the woman and had to keep his posture: "don't listen to the old man."

Janet opened her eyes and stared at Simon again. "But I know that Jennie really wants to have children. Nick is the only one."

"Do you remember something wrong?"

"Well?"

"Nick?"

"It's Nick. SYL's so smart. How could he not have been born to me?"

"Well..."

Janet shook her head successfully and then said, "I mean, we'll go to Australia for a holiday some days. You and Jenny can try to have another one."

"In fact, I think it's troublesome to have too many children."

Janet pouted with disdain: "you never care. What's the trouble?"

Women complain for a reason.

In fact, with so many servants in the family, Janet didn't have to do anything in the past few days if she didn't want to be tired. Although she complains, in fact, Janet is very devoted to the children when the female assistant is away, otherwise she would not be so tired.

Simon, the real standard shaker.

There was no way to refute that, and Simon just laughed.

Janet glanced at him and said, "actually, I know you just lied."

"Well?"

"You want more kids, too." Janet said, adding, "you don't have to raise it anyway."

"I am wronged."

"How can a guy who advocates the theory of genetic instinct not want his genes to spread out to the greatest extent," Janet said, holding Simon's face and looking at each other: "am I right, little bastard?"

Simon's mouth opens to bite a woman's little hand. Janet holds Simon's head firmly and doesn't let him change the subject.

Give a proposition, let alone answer it.

Little stalemate for a moment, Janet suddenly showed an evil smile with obvious eager to try: "little bastard, if you want, you can do it."
