After lunch with Terry Semel, Simon returns to Daenerys Entertainment HQ to resume the afternoon's work.

These days, several executives, including Simon and Amy, have been renegotiating the production and distribution plans for the new company. It was originally planned to work two days over the weekend to complete these things before the trip to Australia. Because of the release of the "Forbes" rich list, Simon has been entangled in various things over the weekend and had to delay it until the working day.

Aside from several live-action shows that Daenerys has already in the pipeline and renewed TV series from New World Entertainment, the company has no plans to develop new projects this year. Therefore, the business in this area was quickly straightened out.

In terms of film, it is mainly production and distribution.

After the merger is completed, the distribution business of the new company will begin next month.

In addition to the 7 films released in the first half of the year, New World Entertainment has 6 other films of various genres waiting to be released.

After reviewing and discussing, New World Entertainment has finally determined that there are three films that will be listed in the theater, namely "Avella's Horror", "The Sid Sisters" and "Hellman 2", and the other three will be directly videotaped issued.

"Avella's Horror" is a horror film brand that actress Cassandra Peterson has been focusing on creating over the years, and is generally in the style of horror comedy. However, the biggest selling point of the film is probably only the half-covered breasts of the heroine under her black clothes.

Simon gave this B-movie-style film a low rating and didn't see any potential for box-office, so he wanted to throw it into the videotape market as well. However, New World Entertainment has carried out some pre-publicity before, and even asked Marvel to develop a set of comics specially for this movie.

Considering that the company has no other theatrical release plans in September, Simon reluctantly agreed to re-edit the film and send it to theaters, but limited the number of screens to 500.

"The Sid Sisters" is a low-budget stand-alone film starring Winona Ryder, who has just emerged in Tim Burton's "Beetle Juice" in the first half of the year. The story explores teenage life through a series of school murders. Disappointment and bewilderment.

After seeing the demos, Simon decided to let the film participate in next year's Sundance Film Festival along with "Sisters" and "Metropolisians" previously invested by Daenerys Films.

Because the box office potential of the film is too low, the schedule will be determined in February and March next year.

The last "Evil Ghosts 2" is a horror film series developed by New World Entertainment imitating the new line "Evil Street". The first film of the film earned more than $14 million at the box office with a production cost of $1 million. Compared to the "Nightmare Street" series, it is also a big profit.

The production cost of this sequel has increased to 3 million US dollars, with the accumulation of word-of-mouth from the first, and the profitability is very guaranteed.

New World Entertainment had originally planned to schedule the film for the Christmas season at the end of the year.

This would have been an obvious choice before the two companies merged, but now, the new company's distribution team has to focus on a few of Daenerys Pictures' scheduled releases. As a result, the release date of Ghostbusters 2 has been pushed back to next year's Easter.

In addition to "Rain Man" scheduled for December 16 by MGM, three films "Scream", "Steel Magnolia" and "Dead Poets Society" produced and independently released by Daenerys Pictures The timetable was also completely finalized in this discussion.

"Scream" has an October 28 release date.

"Steel Magnolia" has a November 18 release date.

Dead Poets Society's release date is December 23.

Michael Hoffman's "Sisters", Whit Stilton's "Metropolitans" and Katherine's "Thunderbolt Blue Angels" are also in the late stage, and the specific schedule has not been determined, but it is expected to be Enter the theater in the first half of next year.

film production.

Among the several projects that New World Entertainment was brewing, Simon finally only retained "Angel God", which was originally scheduled to starring Brooke Shields, and all the others were cancelled.

Among the axed projects are Kevin Costner's "Revenge" and Dolph Lundgren's Marvel Comics adaptation of "The Punisher."

"Revenge" tells the ethical film of a retired naval officer who seduced his best friend's wife and both suffered revenge. It was originally scheduled to be directed by Tony Scott, the director is Ridley Scott's younger brother, who has also directed Well-known films such as "Beverly Detective" are also considered as Hollywood's first-line directors.

However, Simon was completely unable to understand the concept that "Revenge" wanted to express. Although the film was jointly invested with an affiliated company of Columbia Pictures, the production budget of $20 million still exceeded Simon's expectations, so he chose to give up.

As for The Punisher.

Simon has read the script and found that apart from the name, the story is completely out of Marvel's classic comic setting. It is purely a B-level shootout that imitates the style of Stallone's "First Blood", and naturally there is no need to keep it.

During the strike, Bruce Joy Robin had already completed the two other scripts that Simon had ordered him for, "The Sixth Sense" and "A Ghost Story."

Simon temporarily shelved "Human and Ghost Love", but set up a project for "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality".

Robert De Niro signed a two-part package contract for "Dead Poets Society" and "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural".

In addition, with the end of the Hollywood writers' strike, Daenerys Entertainment also began to secrete

The set accepts pitches for various projects, from which Simon has chosen several very good scripts.

One of them is called "Bodyguard".

That's right, the original starring Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston.

The screenwriter of the film, Lawrence Kasdan, is well-known in Hollywood. He used to be the screenwriter of the "Star Wars" series and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series.

It's just that the script of "Bodyguard" has been coldly received since it was written in the mid-1970s. It is said that before Simon took over, the film has been rejected by more than 60 producers in a row, and most film companies have I thought the plot of the movie was too old-fashioned and that the mansion scene of female singer Rachel was too expensive.

So, despite Lawrence Kasdan's high profile, Daenerys Entertainment bought the script for just $300,000.

In addition, there is a "Flying Over the Childhood" by Hollywood female screenwriter and director Amy Heckerling. The biggest feature of this comedy is that babies learn to think and speak with adults. In the original time and space, "Flying Over Childhood" starred John Travolta and dubbed the little baby Bruce Willis, and successfully squeezed into the top ten of the year's annual box office list.

This script was also not well-received before, so it fell into the hands of Daenerys Entertainment. This is actually not surprising. The projects that Hollywood is generally optimistic about have basically fallen into the hands of major film companies a few years in advance.

There is only one point, because of his involvement in violent movies like "Pulp Fiction", John Travolta is no longer suitable for a warm comedy like "Flying Over the Childhood", and Daenerys Entertainment can only choose other male protagonists.

Ultimately, "The Sixth Sense", "Batman", "Bodyguard" and "Flying Beyond" will be Daenerys Entertainment's flagship projects next year.

The "Sixth Sense" and the relatively inferior "Bodyguard", which have achieved an astonishing global box office of more than 600 million US dollars, are initially confirmed to be in the summer of next year. Christmas.

but.

Seriously speaking, this is actually just Simon's idea.

Because these four projects basically do not belong to Hollywood's popular genres, scripts such as "Bodyguard" have been ignored by Hollywood for more than ten years. Simon doesn't plan to explain too much to others, he just needs Amy and others to do their best to do their jobs.

and.

According to preliminary statistics, the films that Daenerys Entertainment will release next year already include "Sid Sisters", "Sisters", "Metropolisians", "Blue Angels", "The Sixth Sense", "Bodyguard" , "Rampage", "Flying Over Childhood", "Batman", which are a total of 10.

The number of films that the company is still in the process of planning and the purchase department plans to buy will not be lower than this number.

This means that the production and distribution plan of Daenerys Entertainment next year will directly reach the level of the seven major studios. Therefore, surrounded by this piece of 'sand', the four films of "The Sixth Sense" are mixed, even if they can all be Obtaining the box office of the original time and space will not be as conspicuous as this year.
