hunt hollywood

"Didn't I do a great job in Pulp Fiction?"

"That's because I'm the director."

"As long as you open your mouth, the director of my movie is also yours," Madonna said immediately, "Sony pays the bill."

Simon began to feel sorry for Sony, raised his hand and knocked on the forehead of Madonna who subconsciously approached again, and said: "You should play by yourself, I really don't understand why you must go to Hollywood and be your own emperor Isn't the queen of the song very good?"

"Then why are you doing so many things?"

"I'm different from you. It's hard for you people on Earth to understand things like geniuses in the sky."

Madonna seemed to have discovered some big secret: "Hey, which planet are you from?"

"Alpha Centauri."

"Are you here to invade Earth?!"

"Yes."

"Great, I can help."

"I'm ashamed of you being so proactive."

Madonna suddenly laughed again, and soon asked curiously: "Hey, do you really think there will be aliens invading the earth?"

Simon didn't answer, but said, "Would you go to Africa to invade an ant nest?"

Madonna said seriously: "If the ants in that ant nest are special enough, I think I'll go and have a look."

Simon shrugged: "Then we can only resign ourselves to fate."

The two were chatting, and Michael Bay on the other side had gradually adjusted various equipment on the runway site, and some Victoria's Secret Angels who had officially signed contracts also arrived one after another.

Today will be a simple rehearsal, mainly testing some photography and lighting effects.

The Victoria's Secret show is held in early November, but the rehearsal time for the show is mainly concentrated in August.Because the four major fashion weeks will be held in September and October, which is the busiest season of the year for models, Simon does not intend to prevent these Victoria's Secret angels from participating in some of the most important catwalks for them.

Of course, the Victoria's Secret show is definitely the most important.

Three of the five Victoria's Secret Angel spokespersons who have already signed have come, Helena Christensen, Tyra Banks and Stephanie Seymour, Cindy Crawford is very busy, it is impossible for every rehearsal To attend, Yasmin Gary, the 'waist fine', also has a very tight schedule and did not come today.

Several other supermodels who are about to participate in this big show, of course, none of them appeared.

To put it simply, the ones who came this time are a group of models who are relatively free in the fashion circle and have a relatively low status. For example, the three angel spokespersons who came here basically regard this big show as the most important thing for them this year. As long as there is no important work, I will stay in Los Angeles as much as possible.

Noticing that Simon was here, taking advantage of the gap before the start of the rehearsal, a group of tall and delicate girls came to say hello, and of course they did not forget to chat with Madonna.

Although Queen Mai just looked indifferent, but at this time she was really surrounded by a group of big goblins, and she still felt a little pressure.

Michael Bay personally adjusted the photography slides on the side of the runway, got up to start, noticed that the models had gathered around Simon, waited for a moment with interest, and then signaled a staff member beside him to call for someone, and once again felt a certain Envious of this gorgeous guy.

In this circle, even if it is just a MV director, there are still many young actors who want to post in the morning. Of course, Michael Bay also took advantage of the situation.

However, for the group of top fairies who are about to participate in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, Michael Bay has no intention of getting involved at all.

No matter what the young man thinks, many people will naturally regard this big show as Westeros' private territory. If someone hunts in this territory without knowing the interest, it will never end well.

As long as he can rely on this opportunity to step into Hollywood smoothly, he will have everything in the future, and Michael Bay doesn't want to make a big deal out of small things.

The staff came to remind him, and Simon sent a group of Yingying and Yanyan beside him to work, and Stephanie Seymour, who snatched the seat next to him, saw the other girls gradually leaving, and asked in the man's ear, "Simon, what have you been doing lately?" have time?"

Simon nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I will call you when the time comes."

If it had been someone else, Stephanie Seymour was sure the call would have come, and she didn't necessarily want to ignore it.However, the man in front of him really didn't have any sincerity when he spoke.

Seeing Stephanie Seymour's resentful eyes, Simon just urged: "Go to work, my boss is very strict, if I don't do well, I may be fired."

Knowing that the man was not joking, Stephanie Seymour got up obediently and walked towards the runway.

After all the girls left, Madonna said, "So much, can you eat it?"

Simon looked at the pleasing scenery not far away, and said with a smile: "Even if many things in this world can be eaten, they don't necessarily have to be eaten."

Such an exquisite batch of top-level vases is actually more suitable for careful appreciation, and there is no need to press them on the big bed to play with them.

Although Simon never treats himself badly when it comes to women, he never pursues carnal desires excessively.

On the other side of the runway, after some rearrangement, the angels gradually entered the state, and they didn't need to change clothes. They began to wait at the end of the runway under the guidance of the staff.

Madonna and Simon looked over there together. The rehearsal started soon. She didn't feel anything at first, but soon, Madonna noticed the accompaniment playing in the studio.

It was a piece of pure music accompanied by snapping fingers, and no one sang it. However, Madonna was very sure that this was a song, a new song that she had never heard before.

Then I also wanted to understand that the reason why there are no lyrics is obviously out of confidentiality.

Then he looked at the man beside him: "Simon, is this the new song you wrote?"

Simon didn't deny it either, nodded and said, "Yes."

"Sounds like it's very suitable for women to sing," Queen McGregor immediately cheered up and said, "What do you think of my performance?"

"Are you willing to terminate the contract with Warner?"

"Ok?"

Simon smiled and said, "Don't forget, I own Universal Records now. Good things, of course, must be reserved for singers under my own record company."

Queen McMahon was dissatisfied: "Universal Music doesn't seem to have any famous singers, don't you think it's a waste?"

"do not think so."

"..."

Queen Mai was speechless for a moment.

Terminate the contract with Warner, even if she is willing, Warner is not willing.

Moreover, with her current status, after the contract with Warner expires, she is more inclined to run her own record company alone, and will only cooperate with large record giants.

"So, what's the name of this song?"

"Since there is a Victoria's Secret Angel on the runway, of course this song is called "Paradise" (Paradise)."

Paradise has meanings such as 'paradise', 'Eden', 'paradise', etc. Therefore, there are many English songs named after this word.

What Simon chose was "Paradise" created by a lesser-known online singer many years later. The singer's name is also very different. The combination of two people is 'NLSN/THUYMY'.

However, compared to other songs with the same name, Simon feels that this song "Paradise" really has an ethereal and distant artistic conception like a paradise, which makes people never tire of listening to it.

The music in the studio continued, and Madonna became more and more curious, pestering Simon to listen to it in advance.

Simon couldn't, but it was impossible to bring the record to Queen Mai immediately, so he had to sing along with the live music.

Afraid of the vastness of the blue sky, I still want to swim on it

Desire to be a beacon, to guide you

You can hear the sirens in the distance all night long

Looking for the astonishment and magnificence of the world, throwing away the troubles and sorrows of the world

I want to travel all over the astonishment and magnificence, and I hope to have a companion in the world

Let's overturn the order of the world together

Nothing in the world compares to my frantic mind

no matter where we will live

Nothing can stop us from going to heaven

Chapter 495 Family Property (Repair)

The last song "Bad Romance" left by Simon to Madonna last time helped Queen Madonna create another album with sales exceeding [-] million in North America.

Whenever she had the chance, Madonna would try to ask Simon for songs.

As one of the top singers of this era, after listening to "Paradise", Madonna immediately realized the gold content of this song.Although "Paradise" is not suitable for her style, but given to other singers, it is completely enough to make a hit album as the main theme.

Later, after learning that several theme songs of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show would be written by Simon himself, Madonna immediately pestered the man to listen to other songs.

Simon was so entangled that he had no choice but to let Queen Mai get her wish.

Of course, you can listen to it. Although there are songs that are more suitable for Madonna's style, Simon still insists on not letting the fat and water go to outsiders.

As the Victoria's Secret show rehearsals continued, news about several songs spread like wildfire.

In the face of media inquiries, Daenerys Entertainment just refused to comment.

According to the prior arrangement, the preparatory process of this big show lasted for several months, and there will be various revelations, who joined the Victoria’s Secret Angel team, who became the spokesperson of the Victoria’s Secret Angel, as a big show Who will get the angel wings on the logo, information on the background music of the runway, possible guests, tickets for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, and so on.

Through this series of continuous exposure, before the big show officially opens, the brand awareness of Victoria's Secret will be further improved.

This is also the fundamental purpose of this marketing operation.

July 7st, the last day of July, another Friday.

The summer file has entered the second half of the page. There are two films that have landed in North American theaters this week. They are Paramount Pictures' live-action and animation film "Fantasy Space" and Fox's vampire horror film "Vampire Hunter". Buffy.

Paramount's "Fantasy Space" tells a series of ironic stories that happened to the protagonist in order to prevent the fusion of the real world and the cartoon world. The film is obviously following the trend of the original "Who Framed Roger Rabbit".

Simon is more concerned about Fox's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

This vampire movie written by Joss Whedon was the origin of the later TV series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer".Joss Whedon is also one of the important directors of the Marvel Cinematic Universe on the original timeline, directing two "Avengers".

Although concerned about Whedon, Simon only regards him as a potential reserve talent for Daenerys Entertainment for the time being.

Entering August, the summer vacation files are basically settled.

"Wonder Woman" is undoubtedly the well-deserved box office hegemony of this summer.

截止7月30日，上映第9周，《神奇女侠》再次进账1153万美元，开画两个月时间累计票房达到3亿3369万美元。

Considering the decline curve of "Wonder Woman" in recent weeks and the box office base of tens of millions in a single week, this superhero movie can earn at least 3000 million U.S. dollars in the follow-up, and the cumulative box office in North America is expected to be 3.6 ​​million. Between $3.7 million.

"Wonder Woman" was followed by "Lethal Weapon 3" starring Mel Gibson. In the past week, the North American box office of "Lethal Weapon 3" has exceeded 1.4 million US dollars, and it is also approaching the end.

Later, "Aladdin" produced by Disney gradually attracted the attention of the industry.

This 2D animation movie didn't start off well, but it has a lot of stamina, and the box office curve is very strong.

From June 6th to July 19th, the cumulative box office of "Aladdin" has reached 7 million U.S. dollars in six weeks. Although there is a big gap with "Wonder Woman", but in this summer The box office performance of this file is also second only to "Lethal Weapon 30", and it is expected to surpass each other in the next release.

Another Disney live-action comedy, "Crazy Nuns," became the studio's second summer film to break $[-] million.

After careful calculation, apart from Daenerys Entertainment, Disney, which has two domestic films with a box office exceeding [-] million yuan, can be considered a bumper harvest this summer.

Daenerys Entertainment's "Pleasant Deal", "The Time to Kill" and "The Last of the Mohicans" also sold well, but in all fairness, all three films hovered at the box office threshold of around [-] million yuan, and did not reach Simon expected.Moreover, the box office performance of the three films, in addition to their own quality, is also a large part of the factor is that they occupy too many resources of the summer file.

Of course, for several partners, reaching the threshold of [-] million yuan is already enough to sell.

Although the blockbusters of the DC movie universe have repeatedly created miracles, in the early 90s, it is actually not so common for a movie with a box office in North America to reach the [-] million mark.

In this summer, apart from the three cooperative films that are still being released and have not reached their target, only "Wonder Woman", "Lethal Weapon 3", "Aladdin" and "Crazy Nuns" have truly achieved breakthroughs. Only four parts.

Others such as Columbia Pictures' "Ambition for the Earth", Fox's "Alien 3", Paramount's "Patriot Games" and Disney's "Honey, I Grow the Child" and so on, the production costs are not counted. The box office is low, but the box office is around 5000 million US dollars, which is far from breaking [-] million.

Simon rushed to Australia again in early August.

Another superhero movie "Steel Bone" under the DC Movie Universe started shooting on August 8.

The schedule of "Steel Bone" is the end of next year. It stands to reason that there is no need to be so urgent, but Warner insisted on shooting at this time, so that enough time can be reserved for the film's later stage and announcement.

On the other hand, Simon also understands Warner's considerations.

"Superman" is still being filmed, and the shooting schedule of "Steel Bone" overlaps with "Superman" by two months. During this time, Simon rushed to Australia to follow up on "Superman". Bone" turn a blind eye.

In this regard, Warner has calculated Simon's integrity.

During the week of rushing to Australia, Simon's time was basically halved between "Superman" and "Steel Bone".

Janet came with her as usual to visit the little guy and keep an eye on her man by the way.

Returning to Los Angeles on August 8, the last film of the summer that deserves Simon's attention, "Unforgivable", has also released its three-day box office in the first weekend.

Clint Eastwood's old-school western surprised Warner Bros. with $1501 million in its three-day opening weekend, more than the film's $1400 million production cost.

Moreover, considering the film's excellent word-of-mouth and the low competition in the late summer period, "Unforgiven" will easily have a long line at the box office.

In my memory, "Unforgiven" will still be the biggest winner of the Oscars next year, winning multiple awards including Best Picture and Best Director.

Of course, the Oscars have been handed over to Warner Bros. this year, and Daenerys Entertainment does not intend to continue to dormant next year.

Barbra Streisand relied on "The Waves of Time" to win the award in the controversy, which also consumed part of Warner's luck in the awards. The Oscar judges will definitely avoid Warner's works in the voting process next year.
