Hollywood New Century

"Brokeback Mountain" is actually not a movie that Simon Parker likes to watch, but because it is a movie directed by a Chinese American, Simon went to see it.

"The film is beautifully shot! The story is also very good," commented Blake Lively, who came out of the theater.

"Anne Hathaway is almost a transparent person in it, she is still not suitable for this kind of drama, it is too jerky," Simon also looked at Anne Hathaway, after all, he is also the protagonist of his own movie!

"Will that 'The Devil Wears Prada' movie fail?" Blake Lively asked.

"It's different, there wasn't much acting in that movie, and Meryl Streep was enough to support it," Simon said, tightening his coat.

"Let's go shopping over there, I haven't been so leisurely in a long time," Simon said with a smile, looking at the lively streets over there.

Beverly Hills, like the Upper East Side of New York, has expensive housing, especially the Beverly Mid-levels mansion on the south side of Sunset Boulevard, which are all villas for big stars and wealthy people.

Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Hollywood, North Hollywood, Burbank, Santa Monica and many more are all cities within a city of Los Angeles.

Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills is the most prosperous street here. The cold wind at night blows in along the collar, and it seems a little cold.

Simon feels that he wears a little less clothes today, and there is only a shirt inside!

"Is it a bit cold, and you drank again during dinner at night," Blake Lively took Simon's arm and looked around and pulled him into a clothing store.

When he came out, Simon had a red scarf around his neck, which was indeed a lot warmer.

"By the way, what about your family, aren't you going back for Christmas?" Simon asked.

"My family is in the Tarzana neighborhood near Los Angeles, and I'm the youngest of five siblings, and my parents and they are all in show business, just playing small roles on TV!" Blake Lively said. Turning to look at Simon,

"The day after tomorrow, I will also go home to spend Christmas with my family!"

Blake Lively knew some things about Simon, but he didn't, orphan, graduated from the University of California, but after graduation all his former friends were cut off.

So weird, like starting a new life.

"This place is indeed a place that countless people yearn for," Simon looked at the countless high-end specialty stores and restaurants on both sides of the avenue, and some Hollywood stars would pass by these places from time to time.

"That's right, my parents thought so too!" Of course Blake Lively can't be exempted, how could he enter the entertainment industry without vanity!

"Go back!" Simon smiled, and he probably won't be exempt from this in the future, but now he has more important things to do.

A mid-level villa in Beverly Hills, a top sports car, or a yacht, you can actually own it, but it's not the time.

In addition to buying two of his favorite Ferrari sports cars, Simon also lives in the Century City apartment building he rented before!

After driving Blake Lively to where she lived, Blake Lively invited after getting out of the car: "Simon, go to my house and have something to drink!"

"Well, yes!"

Blake Lively's house is neat and tidy, and he seems to be a hard worker like himself.

"You sit down for a while, and I'll make coffee for you!"

Simon nodded and sat on the sofa to rest for a while.

There was a script on the coffee table in front of the sofa, Simon flipped through it in boredom, "Admission Notice", a small-cost romantic comedy.

It is also a youth campus romantic comedy starring newcomers, and the same group drama-based movie.

It seems that Blake Lively really has no resources, and Susan White now values ​​Ellen Page and Anne Hathaway.

"Simon, here!" Blake Lively, wearing a home sweater, handed Simon a cup of coffee, and smiled: "This is a Universal Pictures movie, and I've starred in another independent movie this year, too. romantic comedy."

"How's the acting class?" Simon asked over coffee.

"Fortunately, after all, it is directed by a professional tutor, and I can still learn something," Blake Lively sat down next to Simon.

Putting down the coffee, Simon leaned on the sofa and said calmly: "Learning to act is always good for you!" Now Blake Lively is a beautiful vase, or the kind that is not very important.

"Simon!" Blake Lively leaned over and kissed actively.

On the sofa, the two embraced and kissed each other. They were both adults, and they entered the room as a matter of course.

Blake Lively hasn't had a boyfriend yet, and Simon Pike hasn't had a girlfriend in a year and a half.

It was a long night, several battles, and I didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night!

The two woke up at noon the next day. Simon hugged Blake Lively, who was a little tired. Was it crazy last night?

"How do you feel?" Simon asked with a kiss on the girl's face.

"Well, it's okay!" Blake Lively remembered what he had eaten last night, and it was time to brush his teeth.

"Get up, it's time to eat, it's noon," Simon said and lifted the quilt.

Blake Lively's figure is indeed very good, an 18-year-old young and beautiful girl, think of the S girl in "Gossip Girl" in the future.

Simon at Blake Lively's house

Didn't come home until Christmas morning because Blake Lively was going home for Christmas with his family.

Spending a day and two nights at home with Blake Lively.

At the same time, Paramount Pictures, a subsidiary of Viacom Group, announced that it would acquire DreamWorks for $1.6 billion. Of that, $775 million was paid in cash, and the remaining $825 million went to Paramount to take on DreamWorks' $825 million debt.

From the beginning of March, DreamWorks and Universal Pictures talked about the acquisition, and the 9-month DreamWorks acquisition has finally ended.

DreamWorks heavyweight founder and famous director Steve Spielberg and Universal have always had a very good relationship, but under the money offensive of Paramount's behind-the-scenes boss Summer Redstone, the negotiations were completed in one night. .

Now Hollywood, MGM, and DreamWorks were the last independent film companies, but now they are gone.

Lionsgate seems to be on the rise, but until the "Hunger Games" franchise came out, Lionsgate was small.

However, Lionsgate has acquired several independent distributors before, and has many non-mainstream movie rights in the film library.

For example, the copyrights of several characters of Marvel are also in the hands of Lionsgate, such as "The Punisher" released last year, and "Humanoid" released this year. Lionsgate acquired the copyrights of Artisan Pictures, of course. both failed.

Marvel's characters, with the exception of the Spider-Man and X-Men franchises, have almost all failed in the movies.

However, the two successful series characters are not in their own hands, and Marvel's current loneliness is well known.

The Disney Group has also undergone major changes this year. Michael Eisner, chairman and CEO of the group, resigned, and former chief operating officer Robert Iger took over as CEO of the group.

"The Disney Group's acquisition of Pixar is expected to be officially announced soon," Simon sat in front of the computer!

Robert Iger, a visionary and capable guy. After Pixar, Marvel, and then Lucasfilm.

The nominations for the American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards, which will be held on 1.17 next year, are also out, and "Juno" won three nominations:

The 63rd Golden Globe Awards for Best Film in the Musical Comedy category;

The 63rd Golden Globe Awards for Best Actress in a Movie, Musical or Comedy: Ellen Page;

The 63rd Golden Globe Awards for Best Screenplay: Simon Parker;

The Oscar nominees will be announced at the end of January, and 3.6 will be held at the Kodak Theater on Hollywood Boulevard.

In 2005, Simon Parker's greatest achievement was to accumulate his most primitive funds through "Juno".

The North American box office of 148 million US dollars is enough to rank in the top 20 of the 2005 North American film annual box office list!

Early in the morning, in Century City, Hollywood, Simon got up from Blake Lively, put on his clothes, and said, "I'm going to see the crew in New York today, and it's estimated that I won't be back in at least a week!"

"Okay, I heard that the cast of "The Devil Wears Prada" is full of costume jewelry from big fashion brands," Blake Lively said with envy as he sat on the bed.

"It seems yes, many brands have sponsored the movie, and it is estimated that the young people who work on the set are happy and are always surrounded by these high-end clothes," Simon Parker said that he was already dressed.

"By the way, Simon, the script for "Juno" won the Writers Guild of America's Best Screenplay Award. You won't accept the award?"

"There's no time, it's just the Best Screenwriters Guild Award. Just find someone to participate. Are there still few such messy awards in the United States? Almost every big city has its own film festival and awards," Simon said and shook his head , a bunch of pheasant prizes.

"Except for the Golden Globes and Oscars, forget about the rest." Simon still needs to prove himself in the heavyweight awards. There is still a big gap between the companies that have won the best picture Oscar and the companies that have not won the best picture Oscar. .

Look at Lionsgate's efforts to publicize the "Crash". After all, the Oscars now have a lot more influence than in the future.

The biggest reason why the previous Miramax was called the king of independent films was that it always had a strong performance at the Oscars.

"The English Patient," "Shakespeare in Love" and "Chicago" won three Best Picture Oscars, making Miramax and its masterminds, the Weinstein brothers, Hollywood titans.

The road of Xinghai Pictures has to be taken slowly. It is best to be nominated first, and then to show up at the Oscars.
