at dusk.

Outside a mansion halfway up the hillside in Palisades, the narrow mountain road was almost impassable due to the crowding of too many media reporters, and the dense flashing lights were constantly on and off.

Before the party, many media offered sky-high prices to enter the venue for filming, but they were all rejected. However, Simon's refusal attracted more reporters to join in the fun, and some TV stations even drove over the live broadcast cars.

Compared with the thank-you party at the end of June last year, the scale of this birthday party has also expanded a lot.

Many of Daenerys Pictures' projects are in the early stages of preparation, and out of obvious intentions, Simon's manager, Jonathan Friedman, took 100 invitations, according to Counting two guests per invitation letter, the number of guests from wma alone has reached the scale of the last party.

Due to the change of identity, Simon's social circle has also expanded rapidly in the past six months. Many guests from New York and San Francisco have specially come to participate in this party. Simon is not stingy and deliberately rented two planes. Business jets are responsible for pick-up and drop-off.

In addition to the numerous Hollywood natives, the total number of guests at the party exceeded 700, and the scale of security, waiters, bands and other service personnel at the party site also reached 100. As a result, the sprawling estate, which originally covered an acre of land, was immediately crowded.

When Sandra Bullock arrived, the party had not officially started, and the manor was already full of people. After searching the crowd for a while, she found Simon, who was talking to Terry Semel, the CEO of Warner Bros. Pictures, and the atmosphere didn't seem to be very harmonious.

"Terry, I didn't mean to catch Warner off guard. I wanted to do Batman, and I liked Superman as well, it's that simple."

"You must have started contacting Salkind when you were negotiating Batman with us. Simon, Warners got the news at the last minute."

"You should understand why I'm doing this, Terry, I'm interested in anything right now, and its value suddenly jumps up a lot. I don't like being a fat sheep all the time. , although I got the copyright of "Superman", the terms of the contract will not change, and Warners still enjoys the rights you should have."

"Simon, I know you want to buy DC, and I'm sure you have other ideas now. But in any case, I hope we can communicate very calmly so that we can both win," Terry Semel looked at After Simon finished speaking, he slowed down, stretched out his hand to him, and said, "Also, happy birthday."

Simon and Semel shook hands and said, "Thank you, Terry, have fun tonight."

Sandra Bullock patiently waited for Terry Semel to leave before stepping forward. Simon had already turned around and hugged her, saying, "Sandy, you are so beautiful tonight."

"Thank you," Sandra and Simon separated, took a small step back and looked at him, and said, "Happy birthday."

Simon said: "So, what about the gift?"

Sandra took out a box from her handbag and handed it over: "Here."

Simon took this small box, which was exquisitely packaged but less than two centimeters square.

Sandra said: "If you like big words, I will prepare it for you next time."

Simon looked at Sandra and nodded solemnly: "The bigger the better."

Sandra was a little embarrassed by Simon: "Can you stop staring at me when you talk like this."

Simon smiled and said, "I don't mean anything else."

Sandra rolled her eyes at Simon and said, "You dare to have other meanings, coward."

"Too provocative?"

Sandra repeated without hesitation: "Coward."

Simon immediately lost: "Okay, I'm a coward."

Sandra made a really spineless expression of contempt, glanced at the crowd around her casually, and continued to stand beside Simon and asked, "Your company has set up so many projects, this time there must be something suitable for me. I still have half a year before the filming of "Back to the Future" starts."

Simon said: "Do you play "Scream" or not?"

Sandra immediately shook her head and refused with a smile: "No acting, such a silly script."

Simon said again: "What about Catherine's "Blue Angel of Thunder"?"

Sandra remembered the ambiguous relationship between Simon and Catherine, feeling weird, and shook her head again: "I, I still don't think it's appropriate."

"Both of these are films with female protagonists taking the lead. If you don't want to act, there will be no suitable ones for the time being," Simon shrugged and said, "You should have seen other projects as well. These are commercial films, no Maybe let you play a supporting role."

Sandra looked back carefully, and then glared at Simon: "It's all your fault, I can't even find a suitable role now. Paramount had already agreed with Tom Cruise's "Cocktail" last time Made me play the heroine, and then inexplicably changed my mind. Jonathan heard the news, Cruise thought I was too famous."

"Cruz is like this, what does it have to do with me." Simon said innocently: "Also, the "A Fish Named Wanda" I recommended to you is also very good, if not last year I still Without enough money, the script will definitely be snatched away.”

After the box office success of "Lola Run\

,"Although two "Back to the Future" series have been signed, the film will not start shooting until the second half of this year, so Sandra can't be idle and start looking for other projects.

There was no role suitable for her in "Pulp Fiction", and after a lot of picking, and finally at Simon's recommendation, Sandra took on a very interesting black comedy, "A Fish Named Wanda".

In Simon's memory, "A Fish Named Wanda" tells the story of four stupid thieves who stole a multi-million dollar diamond through expressions full of absurdity and coincidence, as well as various Anglo-American cultural conflicts. The film was not only a huge success at the box office, but also won many awards, including the Oscars.

Sandra heard Simon mention the film and complained half-truths: "What's more, then a low-cost movie, $1 million plus 10% of the net profit share, I don't know if I can get a share. , I took it after listening to your suggestion. If you mess up, you have to compensate me."

After Sandra confirmed her participation, "A Fish Named Wanda" ended up costing only $8 million. Because of the success of "Lola Run", Sandra's package price for the two "Back to the Future" series is 5 million US dollars. If she participates in a commercial film alone, the remuneration must be higher. The "Wanda" crew is obviously not willing to pay. up.

Jonathan was also reluctant to Sandra taking over the film at the beginning, and he preferred the girl to appear in Cruise's new film "Cocktail". After "Cocktail" went out of business, coupled with Sandra's insistence, Jonathan negotiated a self-reduction sharing contract with the producer MGM Pictures.

In Simon's memory, the North American box office of "A Fish Named Wanda" exceeded 60 million US dollars, but the net profit share in this area can exceed Sandra's worth, not to mention that she signed an omni-channel contract. Profit sharing contract.

Combined, the box office, videotape and TV broadcasts may take years to recoup all kinds of revenue, but cumulatively, the total may even exceed $10 million.

In the 1980s, actresses who could earn tens of millions of dollars could count on one hand.

When Sandra signed the film contract, "Lola Run" had exceeded 200 million US dollars, and it was almost certain to lock the annual crown. She was equivalent to supporting a North American annual box office champion work by herself. Therefore, MGM now also attaches great importance to Sandra's participation in this film after "Lola Run", and has also set the schedule for the next popular summer season. It is absolutely easy to succeed again.

It is naturally impossible for Simon to tell Sandra this now. Listening to the girl's complaint, he just smiled and said, "Well, it really failed, I will compensate you."

Sandra looked at Simon's unpredictable smile, and couldn't help but said, "Then, compensate me for yourself."

Simon's expression immediately became heavy: "Do you want it cooked? Jenny will definitely cook me."

Sandra burst out laughing, noticing that many people around were looking at it, she quickly restrained her expression, and nodded 'wickedly': "Yes."
