Hollywood New Century

Los Angeles, Universal Studios Hollywood, also hosts Christmas festivities, with park admission packages and music events.

"It will start in two days, that is, from the 12.5th until the end of the carnival," said Alan Horn with Simon in Universal Studios. "Thor 2", which will be released this month, will also have its premiere in Universal Studios. present.

Simon nodded, this kind of activity, of course, does not need Simon to care.

"The word of mouth and box office of "Fast and Furious 5" hit a new high. I heard that you discussed with the director and the producer team that you want to shoot the sixth and seventh films back-to-back?" "The Fast and the Furious 5" achieved a global box office of 680 million US dollars, It has become a top-level big IP series, and back-to-back shooting can better save costs.

"In the fifth film, the actors of the previous films have been assembled, and the number of people is increasing. We have to come up with better plot scenes in the sequels," Alan Horn said about playing big IP Have a heart.

"I will take some time to discuss the plot with the director and screenwriter team. If there are new people joining the sequel movie, some will leave." Of course, Simon knew that after the sixth film, the plot began to pull his hips and went in the direction of science fiction.

Alan Horn nodded. There is absolutely no doubt about Simon Pike's screenwriting ability and film vision. He is a recognized genius in Hollywood.

In the evening, Simon appeared at a large reception at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills.

I also met Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio. Looking at the young female companions around Xiao Lizi, they really know how to play.

"The preparatory work for "The Wolf of Wall Street" has been completed?" Simon asked.

"It's ready, we will start shooting in February next year, and it will be released in the summer of 2013. We are very well prepared," said director Martin Scorsese, although it was the first time to direct this type of film, but he didn't worry much.

The first website is m.9biquge.

Simon nodded and smiled: "Leo's acting skills are more mature now, Oscar really owes you a performance statue!"

Leonardo DiCaprio, on the other hand, smiled indifferently and said, "The support of the audience is more important to me than the support of the Oscar jury."

Simon smiled and patted him on the shoulder, then left, everyone understood.

Afterwards, Simon talked to Blake Lively, who is now the darling of the fashion industry.

"Green Lantern" as DC's superhero blockbuster, the word of mouth box office fiasco, Blake Lively as the heroine in it is not much positive impact.

However, magazines and advertisements in the fashion circle are overwhelmed, and fashion shows in New York and Paris are also lined up for invitations.

Blake Lively was looking at a fat man not far away, talking and laughing with Victoria's Secret supermodel Miranda Kerr, a little embarrassed.

"What's the matter?" Simon followed his gaze, a wretched chubby man was just holding Miranda Kerr in his arms.

"The man, who has been very famous in Hollywood in the past two years, has news with Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and many other female stars, and has invited me to his party before," Blake Lively Randomly.

"Asian, what's the background?"

"Malaysian-Chinese rich man, who runs investment funds, is not clear about the rest. Hollywood knows that he is very rich, and he is very generous," Blake Lively explained with a smile.

"Malaysian?" Simon took a few more glances and suddenly remembered?

Century fraudster Jho Low? The guy who used the Malaysian state capital to enjoy!

"Oh, I remembered that a rich second generation in Malaysia, who helped the Malaysian government to act as an investment fund, has something to do with the investment bureau over there in Abu Dhabi," Simon's mouth twitched.

"I heard that I have lace news with many Hollywood actresses, and I have a drinking relationship with many filmmakers."

This is a wonderful person!

After a while, Thomas Tull walked in this direction and said hello to Simon and Blake Lively.

Blake Lively found that Thomas Tull had something to talk to Simon, so he made an excuse to leave.

"Simon, the preparations for "New Godzilla" have started. This is the first cooperation between Legendary Entertainment and Universal. We are very optimistic about your idea of ​​forming a monster universe. The copyright of King Kong is in your hands again. Fang's monster collision must have a different spark, "Although Legendary Entertainment's main partner is Warner Bros., it also has the ability to independently distribute movies.

"The filming of "Pacific Rim" has started, do you still have resources for "New Godzilla"?" Simon asked with a smile.

"Wrath of the Gods" produced and distributed by Legendary Pictures will also be released next year? Are you sure there are still resources to develop "New Godzilla"?

It's not that Simon doesn't believe it, but the main reason is that Legendary Entertainment has a lot of business now, not to mention movies, but also develop TV production, comic entertainment, and music departments.

Thomas Tull nodded and said confidently: "The board of directors is very optimistic about this cooperation!"

"Oh, we have to wait for the performance of the "New Godzilla" after it is released, otherwise the movie universe will be just a joke, "Simon doesn't matter, how big is Legendary Entertainment? Universal Pictures is ten times your size.

Thomas Tour's Legendary Entertainment hopes to deepen its partnership with Universal Pictures, which is beneficial in every way.

"Prepare well for "New Godzilla\

,"The theme of the movie is monsters, not people. You can have humanistic and environmental awareness, but not too much. You know what the audience wants to see. Investors want returns! "Simon is another reminder to Thomas Tour not to go down the same path as the 1998 version.

"Don't worry, we know that!"

"That's good, the overseas distribution of "New Godzilla" must be done by us. If Legendary Pictures in the United States has the resources, it can take over!"

As long as Legendary Pictures has excess capital at that time, Simon does not mind letting Legendary Pictures be responsible for the distribution of the film in the United States. Dongbao is responsible for the RB area, and there is no problem in handing over other areas to Universal.

Thomas Tull talked to Simon again about Legendary Entertainment's future investment in Universal Pictures' movie platter. Simon didn't say whether he agreed or agreed, but the contract must not be the same as their participation in Warner Bros.' platter investment.

Not only the right to speak in film production and distribution must be in the hands of Universal Pictures, but also in terms of film selection.

Of course, Thomas Tull knows that what Universal Pictures needs is pure investors. As for the films developed by Legendary Pictures, Universal Pictures obviously does not have much interest.

In any case, Legendary Entertainment is no match for the projects developed by Universal Pictures.
