David Giller was one of the three named producers of Simon Westero's famous "Run Lola Run" at the beginning, and he was favored to promote that young man.Moreover, Giller is also a contract producer under Daenerys Entertainment while producing the "Alien" series for Fox Pictures.

However, although the two parties are very 'familiar' because of the cooperation in "Alien 3", the relationship is very bad, and it belongs to the kind that they don't want to deal with each other anymore.Directors and producers who have differences in creation are natural enemies, and it is obviously impossible to ask Jiller to help.

Fortunately, besides David Giller, David Fincher also knows another person who is said to have a very good relationship with Westeros, and it is Madonna who is beside him at this time.

Simon Westeros made a guest appearance at Madonna's concert. This big singer also appeared in Westeros' "Pulp Fiction". It is said that the two parties are very good friends in private. As for whether there is a closer relationship The relationship between layers is not something that Finch can care about.

David Fincher has served as the MV director for several songs of Madonna in the past few years, and the two parties have also kept in touch.

After trying to contact Madonna, the other party responded quickly, saying that Westeros wants to see him, and that is today.

The two entered the studio in front of them talking and laughing, and a staff member greeted them, saying that Mr. Westeros was already waiting for them.

Passing through the corridor divided into different working areas, with busy workers everywhere on both sides, Madonna was also attracted by the dazzling array of angel wings in a cubicle.If it wasn't for Simon waiting, I would have almost gone in and tried it on.

Originally thought that the work areas on both sides of the corridor were already busy enough, but through the corridor and into the innermost side of the studio, the open space with a slender runway was even more crowded with people.

Looking around, both of them quickly understood that the camera lighting and other shooting props were being arranged here.

Madonna saw a certain young man in the crowd at a glance, and Simon was standing with another equally tall long-haired man, pointing and talking.

The staff took the two of them to the rest area, said to wait a moment, and walked towards Simon.

Someone brought coffee, Madonna thanked her, held the cup casually and continued to glance at Simon, then turned to David Fincher, but found that his expression was a little strange, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

David Finch hesitated, pointed to the man beside Simon, and said, "That's Michael Bay."

Madonna was still a little puzzled.

David Fincher still had a strange look on his face, but he explained: "Bei, like me, used to be an intern at Lucasfilm. I remember very clearly that in 1980, he was only 15 years old. Moreover, Bei In recent years, he is the most watched director of music MVs and commercials in the industry, and he shot the Coca-Cola commercial two years ago."

After a pause, Finch added: "Bei's style is obviously more suitable for shooting a fashion show than mine."

Having said that, there was not much disappointment in Finch's expression.

Simon Westeros has apparently chosen to direct the Victoria's Secret show, and even Fincher has to admit that Michael Bay's shooting style is better suited to directing a fashion show than he is.

However, since Westeros has already selected the director, he asked himself to come and meet him.

This is likely to mean another opportunity.

Madonna is not stupid, she quickly understood and said with a smile: "It seems that you owe me a little more favor."

The two waited patiently for a while, and Simon finally came over, followed by Michael Bay.

Simon is wearing a casual T-shirt and slacks today, but Michael Bay is in a neat shirt and trousers, looking serious.

Seeing this situation, Madonna couldn't help thinking about a certain stalker who dressed more casually and became a boss, but it didn't prevent her from standing up with a smile, and opened her arms to beg Simon for a hug very bluntly.

Simon saw Queen Mai entangled her, so he had to hug her, and deliberately hugged her tightly for a few times, and said with a smile: "It's too small, I don't feel it at all."

Seeing that Simon let go of herself quickly, Madonna puffed out her chest in dissatisfaction: "Men are really greedy, mine is actually just right, don't you like silicone?"

Simon and Finch shook hands, introduced Michael Bay next to him, and then said to Madonna: "I mean, you are too small."

Madonna caught a glimpse of several tall and hot models not far away, and realized that she was actually only a little over 1.6 meters tall, and she really had no competitiveness in front of these big goblins.

However, Queen Mai has never been a person who lacks self-confidence, and retorted: "Actually, there are small benefits." She also licked her red lips teasingly, and said to Simon with rolling eyes: "Perhaps, Simon, we are really happy." There should be a time to discuss this privately."

In front of Queen Mai, Simon always felt that he was the target of stamp hunting.

This didn't feel good at all, so she simply ignored Her Lady Queen's words, and motioned for Finch and Bei, who were a little awkwardly standing beside them, to sit down together.

Madonna sat beside Simon without hesitation. The man didn't respond, and she didn't dwell on the topic just now. Instead, she said, "David just said that he knew Mr. Bei."

It's not surprising that Simon doesn't know the details of Lucasfilm.

Michael Bay and David Fincher are both in the same circle, and they are not unknown, so it is a matter of course that they know each other.

Now that we all know each other, some things are easier to explain. Simon straight to the point and said to Finch: "I have seen a few samples of the MV you shot. The overall style is dark and gloomy. Although it is very artistic, it is not suitable for this fashion. Show. So, I chose Michael."

There was no disappointment on David Finch's face, but he nodded and said, "I also think Mike is more suitable than me."

Simon looked at Finch a few times, and said with a smile, "You should have guessed it. Letting you come here today is indeed another matter. It's a movie. I want you to try it."

David Finch couldn't help cheering up.

Michael Bay, who originally had a sense of superiority in front of Finch because of getting this opportunity in advance, was surprised and envious.However, thinking of Westeros' previous conversation with him, he quickly felt relieved.As long as he completes this big show seriously, he is also expected to test the waters in Hollywood.

Simon didn't make a fool of himself, and continued: "This is a crime thriller, telling a story about a serial killer using the seven deadly sins in Catholic doctrine to kill people. Someone will give you the script later, let's talk about "Alien 3", what do you think? Where is your personal problem with this movie?"

If possible, David Fincher does not want to mention "Alien 3".

However, thinking about the relationship between Westeros and David Giller, if the other party wants to know something, it is actually very simple, and he has no way to hide it.

There are many reasons for the failure of "Alien 3". Fincher complained more about the studio and the producer before, but he was not willing to admit his own problems.

After hesitating for a while, Fincher finally said, "I think it's mainly because it's my first time directing a movie, so I'm a bit inexperienced."

Simon smiled and shook his head: "That's not the problem, I know your qualifications, and your basic skills are very solid."

Facing Simon's gaze, David Finch hesitated again, and said, "Perhaps, I pay too much attention to details."

Simon nodded this time.

Apart from the gloomy and grim style of the director himself, one of the biggest features of David Fincher's films is the attention to detail.In this regard, Finch is actually somewhat similar to Cameron. It is precisely because he is used to tangling in details that the production cost of David Finch's movies has always been high.

Similarly, it is easier to create classics if you are detail-oriented and paranoid.

David Fincher is not considered highly productive, but in the original timeline, films such as "Seven Deadly Sins", "Fight Club", and "Gone Girl" directed by this director with a strong personal style are all classics.

"Actually, paying attention to details is not a shortcoming. The key is to be restrained, and the scale can only be mastered by yourself." Simon quickly said again: "I really like the personal style shown in your previous music MVs. And skills, I have also watched "Alien 3". As a commercial film, it is not too bad overall, and the film also contains a lot of your unique understanding. Although the box office in North America is not high, according to the information I got, " Alien 3's box office performance in overseas markets is actually good, and Fox will definitely be able to recover the cost."

For a film director, no matter how many fans he wins, no matter how many awards he wins, in the final analysis, he still has to rely on the box office to speak.

David Finch also heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Simon say that.

If the cost can be recovered through global release, "Alien 3" will not become too much of an obstacle for him to continue to develop in Hollywood.

"For this "Seven Deadly Sins", I hope you can play the style you showed in the MV and "Alien 3". As for the cost, after reading the script, you should think carefully and make a budget yourself. My personal request is that you must complete the film strictly according to your own budget." Simon said, with a bit of a joke: "Of course, if you make a budget of 1 million US dollars, I think this project There is no need to continue."

The "Seven Deadly Sins" on the original timeline was only released in 1995. However, the script of this film was written by Hollywood screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker last year, and the film copyright also smoothly fell into the hands of Daenerys Entertainment.

Simon has considered this project some time ago, and also noticed David Fincher, who directed "Alien 3".

After making another plan for next year's film plan recently, Simon decided to start the project ahead of schedule. If all goes well, the schedule of "Seven Deadly Sins" will be determined on Halloween next year.

In terms of main creation, of course, the original version is the best.

Neither David Fincher nor Morgan Freeman, one of the leading actors, will be replaced.However, another actor, Brad Pitt, Simon does not intend to use the original version this time.

"Superman" has already started filming, and the schedule is next summer.

According to the production plan, Brad Pitt's schedule is abundant.

However, once "Superman" is released, the image of Brad Pitt as the "Superman" actor will definitely be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

This role stereotype is a double-edged sword.

On the one hand, even many years later, when Brad Pitt is mentioned, everyone will easily think of Clark Kent.However, because of Superman's strong influence, especially during his time as Superman, Brad Pitt participated in other movies, it is destined to be difficult to attract too much attention.

Keeping Brad Pitt in The Seven would likely result in the classic crime thriller's shine being distracted by the 'Clark Kent' character.

Chapter 494 Guests (Revised)

Every Hollywood studio has its own relatively fixed talent pool.

In recent years, Daenerys Entertainment has cultivated a large number of top filmmakers for long-term cooperation through the DC Movie Universe project and a series of other blockbuster films.

Of course, Simon will not be satisfied with this.

This time, Michael Bay and David Fincher are the other two young directors that Simon intends to train.

Compared with Finch, Simon is actually more interested in Michael Bedo.

In the original timeline, although Michael Bay was always ridiculed by film critics for liking showmanship and lacking connotation, he was also nicknamed "Explosive Bay", but because the director could always complete the film within the budget of the studio Projects, and the films he directed can basically achieve very good box office, with very few misses, so he is one of the directors that various Hollywood studios are vying to cooperate with.

Look at David Fincher again. Although this director is also outstanding, because the box office volume of his field of expertise (suspense and thriller genre) is usually not high, and he likes to burn too much money, the box office of his works is also very unstable. Therefore, the studio When cooperating with each other, there is always a little more scruples.

It was only the first time they met. Simon and David Fincher had a rough chat about the "Seven Deadly Sins" and quickly sent each other away.

Michael Bay saw the Madonna who stayed behind looked at Simon, a little envious, but also left tactfully to continue his work.

After the crowd disappeared, Madonna immediately approached Simon, ignoring the many gazes around the studio, and said, "Simon, I heard that this big show is looking for a guest performer, do you think I'm suitable?"

Simon gestured to a tall model not far away, and teased: "Maggie, do you think it's appropriate for you to stand among them?"

"It's just taller than me." Madonna obviously didn't care, and said, "Besides, since they are all taller than me, standing among them, I am the most conspicuous one."

Simon found himself ignoring Queen McGregor's natural self-confidence, and said with a smile: "Okay, but I originally planned to invite a guest performer, but in the end I decided to forget it."

Initially considered a few guest performers as I remembered.However, after careful consideration, Simon still felt that for the first Victoria's Secret show, it is best to focus the audience's attention on the Victoria's Secret Angels, which is also the best way to start the brand of Victoria's Secret Angels.

Madonna was not disappointed either, and continued: "Then, I will definitely be able to watch it then?"

"Of course," Simon nodded, "I'll send you some tickets."

"I'm already looking forward to it now."

As Queen Mai said so, a small hand had already touched it unconsciously. Seeing that the small hand was about to touch the back of his hand, Simon felt a little helpless. He flicked his index finger lightly, and Her Lady Queen immediately retracted in pain, with an innocent accusation on her face. Looking at Simon.

Simon reached out and squeezed Queen Mai's chin, and said, "Don't seduce me again, or I will deal with you."

Queen Mai's chin was raised by Simon, and she still winked without showing weakness: "If you are on the bed, you can do whatever you want."

"Bichi."

"jerk."

"..."

"Look, don't we match well?"

"..."

"Hahaha."

Simon withdrew his hand helplessly, and simply pretended not to know the laughing Queen Mai beside him, and turned to the show on the runway.The staff who were looking over curiously noticed that Simon was looking over, and started to keep busy.

After a while, Madonna stopped laughing, but still complained, "Hey, Simon, why are you not interested in me?"

Simon said: "I'm not someone who wants to taste every dish I see. It just so happens that you are not my dish."

Queen Mai became interested: "What kind of 'dish' do you like? I thought...but last time I saw you brought a little girl."

Simon simply ignored it.

Madonna persisted: "Hey, do you think I'm too promiscuous, so you don't want to have sex with me? Just now you scolded me for bitch."

Simon nodded: "Yes."

Madonna looked at Simon, shook her head and said: "It seems not, you don't care too much about this, or you will definitely ignore me. However, you men are really hateful, why can you find so many women? Can't find many men?"

"Have you ever seen a cup with many teapots?"

"Why are you men teapots, but we women can't be teapots?"

"How is the preparation of your "Naked Surprise" going?"

Seeing that Simon changed the subject, Madonna didn't bother, but she completely gave up some thoughts in her heart, and planned to only treat the man next to her as a friend in the future.To have a friend of the opposite sex like Simon Westeros is a very honorable thing to think about.

"Columbia Pictures has agreed to invest, with a budget of 3000 million US dollars, the director and the leading actor have been finalized, and the filming will start around the end of the year," Madonna said, and then asked: "Simon, how much box office do you think this movie will get?"

Simon said frankly: "Probably, 2000 million."

Madonna stared: "I'm acting so hard, and it's only 2000 million?"

Simon spread his hands: "Actually, you may have overestimated everyone's interest in watching Madonna's passion scene."

"How is it possible?" Queen Mai was still full of confidence, and said, "Why don't we make a bet?"

Simon shook his head: "If you don't fight, you have nothing to lose to me."

"I really want to beat you up."

Simon thought for a while, and said, "Maybe, you can revise the script again, ignore those passionate scenes, and focus on shaping the femme fatale attributes of the heroine."

Madonna hit the snake with a stick: "How about you help me change the script?"

"I'm expensive."

"I'll give you as much money as you want," Queen McGregor was very generous, and then she didn't forget to add: "Anyway, Sony pays the bill."

Simon felt that Sony had been wronged again this time, and said helplessly, "If I were to change it, it might become another story. Besides, your acting skills, well, you should know about it, right?"
