Hollywood Hunter

Michael Ovitz thought that wma poaching Kirsty Avery was Daenerys Entertainment's counterattack against CAA because of the "Rain Man" incident, but it was not. For the enemy, rather than stop and fight with the opponent, Simon is more accustomed to continuing to move forward, throwing the opponent far away, to the extent that they can only look up.

Just like the entanglement between Simon and Matthew Broderick.

When the incident just happened, the common opinion in Hollywood was that a big star wanted to clean up a small screenwriter. Although it turned out to be a bit sullen, a small person like Simon was more of a talk for some people after dinner.

But now, with the rise of Daenerys Entertainment, although Simon never talked about that incident in public or in private, the top executives of various Hollywood studios couldn't help but have an idea that if they had a relationship with them. Will the cooperation of Matthew Broderick cause Simon Westeros to be displeased, or even cause the other party to target, or lose possible cooperation opportunities?

There are actually a lot of popular niche students with good Hollywood box office appeal. Michael Fox, Matt Dillon and others can replace Matthew Broderick.

In contrast, Simon Westeros has only one.

So, after Universal's "Genius" at Easter last year, as Simon soared in Hollywood, major studios became wary of partnering with Matthew Broderick.

In the second half of 1988, Matthew Broderick only starred in a literary and artistic same-sex comedy "Same-sex Three Points" by New Line Pictures, with a production cost of 8 million US dollars, an unpopular schedule in October, after the film was released. The North American gross of less than $5 million.

It is conceivable that even if the Hollywood film company continues to cooperate with Matthew Broderick in the future, taking into account Simon's factors, it is impossible to hand over the company's key high-quality projects to the other party.

If there is a lack of excellent scripts and high-quality schedules, the box office will naturally be impossible to talk about. Without the support of box office performance, the original Hollywood first-line niche will soon be reduced to second- and third-tier actors, and then completely disappear from the public eye.

This kind of strong crushing that does not require hands-on is what Simon is after.

As for Kirsty Avery, the reason why Daenerys Entertainment used the other party is actually because the actress is the original heroine of "Flying Over Innocent". Since caa set up obstacles on Meg Ryan's role in "Flying Over Innocent", while enabling the original heroine, wma's digging is just easy.

Michael Ovitz was a big enemy and had a restless weekend back in Los Angeles, but Daenerys Entertainment wasn't affected in the slightest.

Monday, January 9.

Because of the jet lag, Simon, who was far away in Melbourne, had finished filming the first day of "Batman", and Amy arrived at the company at 8:00 a.m. Western time.

At the end of an hour-long conference call with the New York TV department, at nine o'clock, "Flying Beyond" director Amy Heckerling, actor Mel Gibson and newly signed actress Kirsty Ailey, among others The creators came to Santa Monica, followed by another hour-long production meeting.

As the CEO of Daenerys Entertainment, Amy is now mainly in charge of the operation of Daenerys Pictures and the day-to-day administration of the company, although Robert Rehm, Robert Iger, Nancy Brill, Ai La Deutschman and other supervisors performed their respective duties and shared most of the company's business. Amy's own work that she needed to juggle often kept her busy for more than ten hours a day.

The heroine has been finalized, and "Flying Over Innocent" will start the selection of supporting roles and the preliminary work, and it is expected to start shooting in early March.

At ten o'clock, Amy Heckerling and others were sent away, and Amy's assistant Vanessa reminded her that gensler's team was already waiting in the conference room.

gensler is an established architectural design firm headquartered in san francisco with a very wide international reputation.

Daenerys Entertainment's Malibu Studios campus has begun design bidding. Such a large-scale comprehensive office park covering an area of ​​50 hectares has naturally aroused competition from many top architectural design companies, and gensler is one of them.

Simon drew a rough sketch of Daenerys Studios according to his preferences before leaving Los Angeles, and the bidding architectural design company only needed to perfect and make it practical according to Simon's sketch.

The gensler team is going to present their design proposal and project quotation to Amy today.

Coming to the conference room, Amy unexpectedly found that Janet was sitting at the desk, chatting warmly with several gensler staff. Seeing Amy come in, everyone stood up to greet Amy. Janet also got up and stood beside her with a smile on her face. After everyone introduced each other, she said to Amy, "I'm just listening, you can do whatever you want."

Simon's departure from LA These days, Janet basically shows up on time for Daenerys Entertainment's annual financial audit.

However, Janet still gave full play to her eldest temperament, who was accustomed to the "superior labor", and directly transferred three accountants from the Johnston Group to participate in this audit.

Speaking of which, the company's financial data is not suitable for disclosure to outsiders. It's just that everyone knows that Janet played a supervisory role in this audit. Since Simon did not object to Janet's approach, Amy and others would not object.

The area of ​​50 hectares is really large. The Fox Studios in Century City is only 500 meters long from north to south. Daenerys Entertainment bought it.

Although this plot has a triangular layout, the depth from the entrance to the highest point is more than 1.5 kilometers. Even if the unusable slope is removed, the remaining construction land exceeds that of any other major studio in Los Angeles except Universal Studios. .

Therefore, although Daenerys Entertainment's subsidiaries including Daenerys Special Effects, Pixar Animation and Marvel Entertainment are also planned to move into the studio, the site still seems more than enough. Daenerys Entertainment also directly asked the design company to plan according to the scale of 2,500 resident employees.

It took more than an hour for the gensler team to just introduce their design plan. After the two parties discussed the quotation, it was noon.

At the end of the morning's work, Robert Rehm and Ella Deutschman also came from Burbank to join Amy for lunch and to discuss work arrangements for the new week. Now that Janet is here, Amy invites her along.

Everyone sat down at a restaurant near the company's headquarters, and Robert Rem asked Janet with a smile, "Jenny, how is the audit progress, I'm very curious about how much money the company has made this year?"

"There must be a lot," Janet said with a smile, flipping through the menu, and suddenly added, seemingly casually, "However, there are a lot of problems."

Ella Deutschman didn't feel the change in Janet's tone, and replied easily: "Our company has only been established for more than two years, so there must be some problems."

Amy and Rem, however, were keenly aware of Janet's strange tone, and couldn't help looking at her.

Janet put down the menu in her hand, and her beautiful eyes, which are always attractive, narrowed slightly. The original appearance was harmless to humans and animals, but now she looked like a cat about to pounce on its prey, and glanced at the three of them lightly, saying: "I found out that someone spent $16,000 to throw a party at his house, billed the bill as entertainment for a movie project, and flew a company private jet in the name of a business trip, in fact, to send his son to college. ."

Amy and Deutschman looked at Robert Rehm, who was probably the only one of the four who could have a son who went to college.

Robert Rem shrugged calmly and said, "Jenny, I've never done that."

"Yeah, otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here eating with you," Janet's expression seemed to slow down a little, and she opened the mystery directly: "It's actually Ron MacMillan."

When the three of Amy heard the words, they were both surprised and not surprised.

Ron MacMillan was Simon's producer when he made "Lola Run."

After the success of "Lola Run", Ron Macmillan also became a contract producer under Daenerys Pictures. In the past two years, he has completed two consecutive projects, "Death Comes" and "Scream", and both achieved very eye-catching box office results.

Ron McMillan has thus become one of the hottest top producers in Hollywood.

Because of these connections, everyone was a little surprised that Janet would suddenly point the finger at the company's veteran producer. However, after following Simon's fortune, Ron Macmillan's reputation in the industry in the past two years has not been very good, so it is not surprising that he has these unclean hands and feet.

After a moment of silence, Amy raised her hand to stop the waiter who wanted to come over, and asked Janet in a low voice, "Jenny, have you told Simon about this?"

"Say, he let me figure it out," Janet nodded and asked back, "Amy, what do you think I should do?"

Amy was a little unsure, so she could only remind: "Jenny, preparations for "Scream 2" have begun."

In the past week, "Scream" received another 5.61 million US dollars. In its 10th week of release, this youth horror film officially broke the 100 million yuan mark, with a cumulative box office of 103.97 million US dollars. Simon originally gave a trilogy outline, and the heroine Courteney Cox also signed a trilogy contract. The film is so successful, the preparations for the sequel are naturally on the agenda, and it is also scheduled for this year's Halloween again.

Ron McMillan, as the producer of "Scream", withdrawing the other party now will undoubtedly affect the development progress of the project.

Janet listened to Amy's hesitant tone and said, "Actually, Ron and I are also very familiar. We helped Simon film "Lola Run" together. However, he has crossed the line too much, and I don't really care if he is there. If he can work for Simon wholeheartedly, Daenerys Entertainment will try his best to protect him. But he should not use these careful thoughts on Daenerys Entertainment, Simon has given him enough Reward, but also promoted him from an obscure little producer to his current position, he should no longer take things that do not belong to him, and should not deceive Simon. So, Amy, called him this afternoon, and he was fired Apart from."

Amy was stunned, and said, "Jenny, don't you need to discuss it with Simon?"

"No need," Janet said firmly, staring at Amy, "Simon is actually a very soft-hearted guy, and doesn't like to care about such trivial things. But, Amy, I'm not, I'm just a little woman , as soon as I think a person is no longer trustworthy and may even endanger my boyfriend, I will not hesitate to clear him from Simon."

Amy was stared at by Janet, silent for a moment, then nodded, and said, "I will call Ron in the afternoon, but what about "Scream"?"

"This is not something I need to care about," Janet was very satisfied with Amy's answer, but she shook her hand even more. After speaking, she glanced at Rem and Deutschman, as if joking, and said, "This year 's financial report is not a problem. However, I will help Simon next year to keep an eye on it. Simon pays you very generously, so unless you can

Make sure not to be caught by me, otherwise, don't take anything that doesn't belong to you. "

After saying that, Janet slowly picked up the menu without waiting for any response from the three of them, and as if nothing had happened just now, she started laughing with Amy and the others in a blink of an eye.

So, Janet obviously enjoyed the meal very much, but the three of Amy felt like they had eaten fishbone. Even looking at Janet's smiling face, the three felt a creepy feeling in their hearts.

After lunch, Janet did not stay in the company in the afternoon.

Amy also sent away Rem and Deutschman, who will fly to the UK together because of the overseas release of several films such as "Scream" and the Highgate Films.

Rem and Deutschman rushed to the Santa Monica airport in downtown Santa Monica. Nancy Brill had just returned from the East Coast on a private jet owned by Daenerys Entertainment. The woman flew yesterday. In New York, in the morning, I discussed with several banks in New York about the loan of the funds needed to invest in Blockbuster.

Although Daenerys Entertainment's books are very rich, Simon has decided to transfer all the excess funds to the Westeros Company account. He didn't explain to Amy and the others why he did it, not even to James Raybould. Therefore, Daenerys Entertainment could only continue to choose loans if she wanted to become a shareholder in Blockbuster.

Counting the $200 million that he purchased in Europe at the end of last year, Simon's total debt has only increased to $650 million. Compared with his total personal assets, the debt ratio is only 20%. Therefore, adding another $100 million in debt is still within Simon's range.

In fact, Simon could even afford to raise his total debt to $1 billion to $1.5 billion, given the right investment opportunities.

Nancy went straight to Amy's office when she returned to the company to discuss the results of her New York trip.

Amy had just put down the phone with Ron Macmillan. She still did not directly inform Ron Macmillan on the phone as Janet explained, but made an appointment for dinner tonight. Compared to Janet, Amy prefers to have a good time with Ron Macmillan, which is not harmful to Daenerys entertainment.

As for what Janet mentioned at lunch, since she didn't talk about how to deal with it later, she obviously tacitly acquiesced not to pursue it, and Amy had no intention of bringing it up again. She also doesn't think it's because of Janet's generosity. It's actually very difficult to investigate a matter of tens of thousands of dollars. Ron MacMillan will definitely not admit it easily. If legal measures are taken, the litigation costs may be more than that, which is completely worth the loss.
