Anthony Johnston had only a short stay in Los Angeles for a few hours before flying back to Australia that evening.

The renovation of the Fifth Avenue apartment is always underway, and it is unlikely that no one will be watching for a long time. After Anthony left, Janet went to New York the next day.

Having decided to buy Dumay Point Park, Simon then asked his personal lawyer, George Norman, to start the matter. There have always been cases of park privatization in the United States, and it is not difficult to buy a state park without considering the cost.

In the original time and space, the silver streamlined mansion of Tony Stark, the hero of the "Iron Man" series, called "City of Liberty" is located on the sharp corner of Dumei Cape Park. Compared with most other buildings in Malibu, 'City of Liberty' does look really cool. Since it has been decided to restore the 'Avengers Building' in Manhattan, the 'Free City', which is also very in line with Simon's aesthetics, is naturally not to be missed.

As the noise from the birthday party fades away, Simon's life calms down again and he begins to focus on the series of projects that Daenerys is working on.

"Pulp Fiction" was finalized a week after Simon's birthday. Although Orion has always had doubts about this project, it still started to announce the film and participate in the Cannes Film Festival in May as planned.

Simon didn't lack expectations for Pulp Fiction, but after finishing the film, he didn't continue to pay too much attention to the film. After all, Daenerys Pictures only enjoys 10% of "Pulp Fiction"'s North American box office share and 5% of North American videotape sales. Simon's more energy is still on Daenerys Pictures' self-invested projects.

"When Harry Met Sally", whose schedule is confirmed to be March 25, has also been completed. After several internal test screenings, considering the quality and subject matter of the film, Disney decided to start a small-scale screening of the film two weeks in advance. , is expected to open on March 11 in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and other big cities about 30 screen screenings.

The filming of "Instinct" started in mid-February. It is estimated that the shooting period will be two months, and the post-production period will also be two months. The film schedule is determined to be July 15. As long as there are no accidents, the time seems to be very sufficient.

The rest of "Rain Man", "Steel Magnolia", "Scream", "Dead Poets Society" and other movies, Simon and Amy also adopted the method of division of labor and cooperation, and promoted them in an orderly manner.

on the other hand.

On March 7, the latest contract offered by the American Film and Television Producers Union was again rejected, and the Writers Guild officially started a strike.

No one but Simon himself expected the strike to last five months.

After the strike began, the operations of major TV networks were quickly affected. Daytime soap operas switched to rebroadcast mode, and late-night talk shows cut a lot of scenes that required scripts, such as jokes about current events. Because of preparations in advance, the TV dramas that are being broadcast in prime time in the spring have not been greatly affected.

In addition, the new Academy Awards ceremony, which was scheduled to be held at the end of March, was also postponed after the strike began. "Lola Run" only got a consoling technical nomination, and Simon didn't expect much of it.

Now that the strike has come as planned in the original time and space, Simon is busy with the film business while also starting to work on a few planned TV shows. He doesn't plan to make TV dramas. The workload of TV drama scripts is much larger than that of movie scripts. Although there are many classic American dramas in his memory, Simon can't waste too much time on scripts now. Daenerys Pictures is in Professional screenwriters were also not hired during the strike.

What Simon is going to do is a reality show.

In my memory, it was the 1988 Hollywood screenwriters strike that prompted the germination of American network reality shows.

However, due to the generally conservative business strategy of North American TV networks, reality TV really began to gain popularity in the late 1990s, when a series of proven reality TV shows from Europe were introduced to the United States one after another, which gradually caused the subsequent two decades. The boom in various reality shows in the North American television industry.

Including the newly formed Fox TV network, there are now four national mainstream TV networks in North America. Simon also plans to produce four reality shows at one time, and sell them to four if possible. As for whether the other party is willing to buy, a few months after the strike, TV networks that are starting to starve of content will not have much choice for ready-made programs.

"The last time I went to New York, I met a vice president of abc TV network, a very good person. I planned to poach him after the acquisition of New World Entertainment, but you also know that this matter is definitely impossible in the short term. . However, he agreed to introduce me to a few TV producers, and I'll have Jenny give you her contact information later, so you can talk to him about it."

In the corridor of Daenerys Pictures headquarters, "Rain Man" is about to start shooting next week. The film's last production meeting has just been held, and several main creators have been sent away. Simon and Amy returned to the office together.

"Simon, do we really need to talk to the TV network first for such a... reality show?"

"Now is not the time to approach the TV network," Simon shook his head and said, "Let's see the situation, anyway, the budget of these reality shows will not be too high, and the preparatory cost will be less. If the strike ends soon, the TV network will The possibility of buying such a novel program is very low. Even if we want to, we can't get a very good contract, and we will cut it off immediately. However, if this strike lasts for a long time and affects the production of TV dramas in the autumn season, We have an opportunity. As long as there is such an opportunity, we must be ready.”

Amy nodded and said:

"In addition, regarding "Steel Magnolia", Meg Ryan still owes us a film contract. I think she can play Shelby. Her agent also expressed this meaning."

"Meg Ryan's temperament is too sweet for a weak character with a terminal illness," Simon shook his head and said, "Also, I have already invited an actress over, it should be here now, do you want to come with me? have a look?"

Amy was stunned and asked, "Who is it?"

"A new guy," Simon said. "I saw it in a movie recently, and I hope she'll play Shelby."

Amy was stunned for a moment, then shook her head slightly and smiled and said, "Okay, if you think it's appropriate. However, I'll go to Disney's side later, I'll take a look at it when I have time."

Simon knew that Amy must be thinking wrong, but he didn't bother to explain.

The two separated, Simon returned to his office, but three people were already waiting in the lounge outside.

Nodding to the other man and woman first, Simon looked at Courteney Cox, who had only met him at his birthday party recently, and wondered: "Curt, our appointment is at four o'clock, you seem to be Come an hour early?"

Courteney Cox also attended Simon's birthday party last month, but Simon was more busy that time, and she didn't find a chance to contact him alone.

At this time, looking at the young man in front of him who was more calm than when he first met, and thinking of the $10 million birthday party last month, Courteney Cox felt even more sour, but her face was still light. He smiled and said, "Simon, I was worried that I would be late, so I came over earlier. You can do other things first, I'll just wait."

"Then wait a moment."

Simon said, turning to another man and a woman.

The middle-aged man among them took the initiative to reach out to Simon and said, "Mr. Westeros, hello, I'm Marvin Josephson, nice to meet you."

Although I haven't seen him, Simon also knows that Marvin Josephson is second only to the president of Hollywood. I switched to icm. Recently, icm's strength has increased greatly.

"Hello, Marvin, just call me Simon," Simon shook hands with Marvin Josephson, then turned to the young girl with long flaxen wavy hair next to him, smiled and stretched out his hand, saying: " Hello, Julia."

Julia Roberts was a little flattered when she heard the tone of the young man in front of him that was not alienated or even very familiar, and quickly reached out and shook hands with Simon, and said, "Hello, Wei... Simon."

"Then let's go in and talk."

Simon said, gave an order to Secretary Susan, nodded to Courteney again, and walked into his office with the other two. Courteney Cox watched Simon's office door close, she didn't get some special treatment at all, and her mood was even lower.

Inside the office.

The two sides sat down in the reception area and waited for Susan to deliver the coffee. Simon looked at Julia Roberts in front of him.

This year, the big-mouthed beauty in her early twenties still looks a little green. Simon found this original time and space in a musical film called "Satisfied" released last month. Powerful actress. Julia played the guitarist in a girl-rock band in "Satisfied." And, in that movie, Simon also sees another famous Hollywood actor, Liam Neeson, who is now also in various small roles.

Julia Roberts played Shelby, who died unexpectedly from kidney disease in the original "Steel Magnolia". Shelby's prototype was the sister of "Steel Magnolia" screenwriter Robert Haring. Robert Haring wrote the script for "Steel Magnolia" because of the death of his sister, so a lot of ink has been poured into the role.

For Shelby's role, Julia Roberts was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress that year. Compared with Meg Ryan, Julia Roberts's green temperament is indeed more in line with Shelby.

The three chatted casually for a few words, and Simon began to talk about business.

"Marvin, I saw Julia in Satisfaction, and as you must know, Daenerys is working on a bunch of movies lately. So, I don't want to talk too much, I want to be with Julie Ya signed a long-term contract, five movies, what do you think?"

Marvin Josephson and Julia Roberts didn't expect this to be the case at all.

Everyone in the circle knows that Simon chose Meg Ryan for "When Harry Met Sally", and, including the two people present, many people do not doubt Simon Westeros and Meg. Ryan has some relationship.

Julia Roberts is now a complete newcomer who has just landed a small role in a solo movie. As the president of icm, the reason why Marvin Josephson came over today is just to take the opportunity to get in touch with Simon Westeros in order to gain more opportunities for the artists under icm. Therefore, Marvin Josephson didn't take the girl beside him too seriously at all, and he even persuaded Julia Roberts in private that he planned to go back alone after talking about the matter.

Now, neither of them thought that Simon Westeros would give a condition that they completely thought they had heard wrong.

For newcomers who have just stepped into Hollywood, it is very lucky to be able to win a decent role occasionally. Most of the men and women with star dreams are stuck at this stage and have to give up voluntarily after killing their youth.

Five film appointments!

Julia Roberts didn't expect such a good thing to fall from the sky suddenly, but she was stunned for a while, and she nodded quickly and said, "West...Simon, I'm willing."

As Julia spoke, Marvin Josephson also reacted, calmed down a little, and asked, "Simon, can you elaborate?"

Simon said: "Five films, except for the supporting role in "Steel Magnolia" that I passed to Julia, and the other four, I guarantee they are all heroines."

Julia Roberts nodded again immediately, but this time she stopped talking and looked at Marvin Josephson. She is willing to pay any price to be able to get such a package contract at one time. If Marvin Josephson dares to screw this up, she will definitely jump from icm without hesitation.

Marvin Josephson became more and more calm, glanced at the pretty girl beside him, then looked at the young man opposite, and said, "Simon, I believe you have enough strength to provide Julia with five films. The contract for the movie, but how long is the contract and how is the salary calculated?"

Simon said: "The contract period is 10 years. In terms of remuneration, the first two Julias can only get newcomers' remuneration, and Julia can renegotiate when the third part starts."

Marvin Josephson added: "Simon, can Julia be in other movies during these five film appointments?"

"Unless I agree, otherwise, no. Moreover, since they have provided Julia with such a generous contract, Daenerys Pictures will definitely add very strict restrictions and liquidated damages clauses to the contract."

Marvin Josephson considered for a moment and said, "In this case, 10 years is too long. For five films, I think 5 years is more appropriate."

Simon shook his head and said: "It must be 10 years, Marvin, we all know that an actor's state has ups and downs."

Marvin Josephson said: "But you can only star in five movies in 10 years, Simon, don't you think that's too few?"

Simon shook his head and said: "I just said that as long as I agree, Julia can still participate in other movies. Also, the contract is 10 years, but it doesn't necessarily take 10 years to complete. As long as everything goes well, maybe, we Indeed, the contract will be completed in five years.”

Marvin Josephson glanced at Julia Roberts next to him again, and after all, he couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart. He didn't think that a young man who had made a fortune for himself at a young age would open up for women's sex. Out of this condition: "Simon, may I ask why?"
