Simon returned to Los Angeles this time, and the main work in the next week is to finalize the final plan for the two projects of "The Flash" and "Wonder Woman" in the DC Cinematic Universe plan, including the script, main creator, budget and other details.

In addition, after this period of repeated deliberation, Simon also intends to replan the advancement plan of the DC Cinematic Universe.

Next year's two DC Cinematic Universe planned films "Batman: The Dark Knight" and "The Flash" have been confirmed, and "Wonder Woman" in the summer of 1992 is also confirmed.

These can no longer be changed.

However, Simon hopes to adjust "Superman", which was originally planned to be released at the end of 1992, to the summer of 1993, and other projects of the DC Cinematic Universe such as "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises", "Suicide Squad", and "Batman v Superman" have also been appropriately postponed, and finally form a production rhythm of one or three films a year, rather than two films a year at the beginning.

The 90s in Hollywood was an era of great films.

Simon does this, on the one hand, to avoid superhero movies from prematurely encroaching on the big screen, and to reserve enough market space for the once shining "Jurassic Park", "Day of Alone", "Forrest Gump", "Men in Black", "Tornado", "The Shawshank Redemption", "Smell the Woman", "Crying Game" and other excellent commercial or literary films to achieve Hollywood's full bloom, on the other hand, it can also give these superhero movies more adequate preparation time in terms of scripts, special effects, etc.

Especially the special effects.

Because Daenerys created the special effects company in advance and spared no effort to invest in the research and development of CG technology, Daenerys Entertainment's accumulation of special effects technology at this time has reached the technical level that can produce the 1993 "Jurassic Park" in the original time and space.

In the first half of the year, after Daenerys Entertainment obtained the adaptation rights of the unpublished "Jurassic Park" from Michael Clayton in advance, Daenerys's special effects team produced a CG dinosaur clip in just one month under Simon's instructions.

As for the ongoing filming of "The Terminator", the liquid metal robot special effects, the team of Daenerys Special Effects Company is more than enough to deal with.

However, Simon's planned reboot version of "Superman" hopes to refer to Zack Snyder's version of "Superman: Man of Steel" in his memory, and if he wants to achieve the earth-shattering horror effect when Clark Kent fights General Zod, Daenerys's technical accumulation of special effects is far from enough.

In order to settle for the next thing, Simon hopes that the special effects of this version of "Superman" can reach the level of the 1996 "Solo Day" in the original time and space, but it will also take at least a year to develop targeted technology.

I returned to Los Angeles at nine o'clock last night and worked as usual on Saturday.

After a busy day, in the evening, the female assistant knocked on the door and entered Simon's office, carrying a black suit in her hand. The female assistant's female assistant followed the female assistant and was holding a shoebox.

Simon raised his head from the project information of "Fighting Wisdom and Stars" in front of him, and said with a smile: "It's just a party, let's just go over after dinner, we don't need to change clothes, right?"

Jennifer asked her attendant to put down the shoebox and sent him out, saying, "There are a lot of people, and besides, this is what Jenny sent back from Europe yesterday, and she said that if you are laughed at at your outfit at a public event when she is away, you will deduct my salary." ”

Simon was wearing only a shirt, and when he saw the female assistant take out his coat from the dust jacket and come over, he stood up and cooperated, and said with a smile: "Your salary seems to be paid by me, right?"

"Yes," the female assistant nodded, unfolding her suit for the man to put on, "So, you husband and wife are bullying me." ”

“......”

The female assistant very virtuously helped Simon button it, took a back look, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Why don't you speak?"

"I was thinking about how to bully you tonight. ”

The female assistant glanced at Simon, handed over the trousers, and said, "I've asked Neil and them to get ready, go to Seattle after the party, I like the house on the island in the middle of the lake in Washington, and we'll be back on Monday." ”

“......”

The female assistant took out a pair of custom-made leather shoes from the shoebox, held them in her hand and watched Simon change into trousers, seeing that he was silent, she curled the corners of her mouth: "What's wrong?"

"I thought you were going to make me bully. ”

"I'm not Jenny, and I'm not going to let you bully anyone. ”

"Aren't you Jenny?"

"It's not. ”

"That's not what you said last time. ”

"Last time was last time. ”

Simon put on his trousers, took the leather shoes from the female assistant, sat on the leather chair and began to change his shoes, and said, "So, you earthlings are really uncreative in naming them, and the right to name the children in the future will belong to me." ”

The female assistant took away Simon's pants and shoes that he had changed, and said, "I'll listen to you first." ”

"Where did you say we're going at night?"

"Seattle. ”

"That's a good name. ”

"What?"

"Seattle, Seattle Westeros. ”

The female assistant was about to put the leather shoes in her hand into the shoebox just now, when she blinked her eyes when she heard this, and teased in a small tone: "You can give this name to Jenny's child in the future, she will be very happy." ”

"yes, just for this Jenny in front of you. ”

"I don't want to. ”

"No, no, I'm my father, and I have the final say. ”

"I suddenly don't want to go to Seattle tonight, I'm going, huh...... Hawaii. ”

"No, I can only go to Seattle, and I can only call Seattle, I'm Dad, I have the final say. ”

“......”

Regarding the issue of children, it is actually a bit sensitive.

Simon and Janet have been trying to have a little one since they got married, but they have been busy for half a year, and Janet's stomach has not moved. Simon actually has some expectations in his bones to give birth to a group of super-rich second-generation bastards who will turn the world upside down.

It's just that this kind of thing can't be rushed at all.

The last time she was in the Tasmanian cabin, the female assistant actually talked to Simon about it, she hoped to have a child by the time she was 30 years old, even if she didn't have a name with her own surname, Simon agreed, of course, the child still had the surname Westeros.

Simon also talked to Janet about this, but the woman didn't say anything, but bit Simon's ear several times that night, and almost held it in her dreams.

After changing their clothes, Simon and the two had dinner at the company's in-house restaurant in the administrative district, and it was already dark.

Because the main building and interior decoration are more complex than other buildings in the studio, the large event center on the second floor of the Daenerys Cinema office area has finally opened for use recently. The celebration party for "Intersection of Life" to win the Venice Golden Lion Award can be said to be the first large-scale gathering after the opening of the event center.

said that it was to celebrate the Golden Lion Award for "Intersection of Life", but in fact, it was a comprehensive celebration after the end of Daenerys Entertainment's summer file.

Not only the team of "The Intersection of Life", but also the main creators of films such as "Ghost Love", "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", "Sleeping with the Enemy", "Shaking the Hand of the Shaker" and the previous "Pretty Woman" were invited.

As of late September, "Pretty Woman" on Valentine's Day at the beginning of the year has officially been released in North America, and the film's local box office finally reached $178 million. Moreover, the overseas box office of "Pretty Woman" is even better than that of North America, and has recently exceeded the $200 million mark.

According to Daenerys Entertainment's distribution division, "Pretty Woman" is expected to grossed $450 million worldwide.

With an investment of $10 million, the global box office alone can recoup $450 million, and even though Daenerys Entertainment has done a lot of miracles in recent years, such box office results have amazed the whole of Hollywood.

However, this is not the end of the story.

At the beginning of the summer season, the fantasy romance film "Ghost Love" produced by Daenerys Entertainment was unconsciously popular again, and when the tear-jerking plot frantically harvested the tears of countless audiences, the film was released for more than three months, and the box office also increased steadily.

From the opening of the painting on June 1 to Thursday on September 20, in 16 weeks of release, the cumulative domestic box office of "Ghost Love" has reached $181 million, successfully surpassing "Pretty Woman". Moreover, the single-week box office volume of "Ghost Love" still reached $5 million, and there was almost no suspense about hitting the $200 million mark.

Judging from the feedback from the overseas distribution market of "Ghost Love", which has gradually unfolded recently, the box office performance of this film in the overseas market is no less than that of "Pretty Woman".

Therefore, just the two films "Pretty Woman" and "Ghost Love" are expected to bring Daenerys Entertainment more than $900 million at the global box office, which is already comparable to "Batman: Time to War" led by Simon himself at the end of last year.

Excluding all costs, the box office profits of these two blockbuster romance films will not be less than $300 million, and the film's subsequent derivative revenue, videotape revenue and TV broadcast revenue, although it means a long payment cycle of several years, is expected to reach about twice the box office profit of the film.

It is this series of lucrative blockbuster projects that supported the previous valuation of Daenerys Entertainment of 10 billion US dollars given by Forbes magazine.

In addition to "Pretty Woman" and "Ghost Love", the three films "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", "Sleeping with the Enemy" and "Shaking the Hand of the Rocking Basket" are all considered great successes, among which the cumulative box office has reached $119 million, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", together with "Pretty Woman" and "Ghost Love", has been destined to become the top ten movies in Daenerys Entertainment's 1990 box office list.

The outstanding box office performance of the film produced by Daenerys Entertainment this summer is obviously more worthy of celebration than "The Intersection of Life", which just won the Venice Golden Lion.

However, the hundreds of guests who attended the party tonight in the event hall of the cinema were more likely to come for a young man.

Everyone knows that Simon Westeros is the hand of God who created all this brilliance.

Moreover, the Forbes US 400 list released at the beginning of the month, Simon Westeros's personal net worth of $21 billion, made his influence in Hollywood even more prosperous.

During this time, an interesting story was spread in the circle.

Los Angeles' "Premiere" magazine has been discussing making a list of Hollywood's most powerful people since the first half of this year, and Simon Westeros is the undisputed first choice. However, when Forbes magazine's fortune list for this year was released, Premiere magazine simply canceled plans to produce it.

Because, a certain guy at the top of the list is too dazzling.

Everyone knows Simon Westeros, and everyone will only see Simon Westeros.

As for those who are ranked second, third, fourth, five, six, seven, eight, and ninety on the list...... They are not as well-known as John Kruger, Warren Buffett and others after Simon Westeros on the Forbes wealth list. Therefore, even if you list these people one by one after Simon Westeros, probably not many people will care at all.

Since no one cares, there is not much point in making such a list.

Inside the hall.

John, president of Columbia Pictures, who was chatting with Bruce Willis and Demi Moore expecting them to join them in one of their films, heard his little girlfriend leaning into his ear and immediately raised his glass to the Willis and walked towards the entrance of the hall.

At the same time, the entire hall crowd seemed to suddenly feel some kind of powerful attraction, and there was a noticeable commotion.

Although everyone knew that Simon Westeros had arrived, there were more than 600 guests in the hall alone. No matter how restless your heart is, it is impossible to rush through it together.

As a result, most of the people quickly regained their composure, or pretended to be calm, and only a small number of guests who thought they were qualified to get to Simon Westeros moved.

Simon was wearing the black Armani suit that had been changed into before dinner, and the female assistant was wearing a simple white dress, and the two appeared side by side in the hall, with a very obvious sense of CP.

However, Simon is no longer a bachelor after all, and the current occasion is too public, so the female assistant did not hold Simon's arm, but just stood next to Simon at a slight distance like a real assistant, occasionally coming over to remind him of the identity of some guests who came forward to greet him.

"This is Barbara Blockley, and her older half-brother Michael Wilson. ”

I just chatted with Joe Rose, president of Fox Films, when I saw a strange man and woman walking side by side, noticing Simon's doubts, the female assistant hurriedly reminded me softly.

Just by introducing the names of the two, Simon understood their identities.

The heir to the Brockley family, who holds half of the copyright to the 007 series and has long controlled the production rights of this spy series.

Everyone shook hands and said hello, and Barbara Brookley, who was obviously more talkative, talked about the latest 007.

MGM stabilized, 007's copyright dispute was resolved, and the Brockley family and MGM management can now devote themselves to the production of 007: GoldenEye, which has already completed the script.

However, Barbara Block City was obviously not satisfied with Simon's insistence on replacing the actor in the 007 series: "Simon, the 007 series should be a matter between the Brockley family and MGM, isn't it? ”
