Los Angeles.

The time is Monday, March 27th.

Just this past Easter weekend, Daenerys Entertainment's new film "Evil Dead 2" officially opened in North America with a scale of 1,117 screens.

Amy Pascal got first weekend box-office numbers for 'Engest 2' early in the morning.

Three days after the opening of the film, the sequel to the "Evil Ghosts" series, created by the new line "Evil Street", earned $4.61 million. The box office performance was comparable to that of the first movie of "Evil Ghosts", and the total North American box office is still expected to be 15 million U.S. dollars up and down.

The production cost of Ghostbusters 2 was only US$3 million, which was three times the US$1 million production cost of the first film, and the company’s publicity budget was also US$3 million. The North American box office forecast of $15 million means that Daenerys Entertainment will be able to achieve a good profit only on local theatrical releases.

The box office data was released, and at the meeting with the management of New World Pictures in the morning, "Haunted Ghosts 3" was logically included in the development plan.

The 61st Academy Awards will be held on March 29.

After the meeting with the management of New World Pictures, Amy organized another meeting back-to-back in the same conference room to discuss preparations for the Oscar ceremony with the team in charge of Ella Deutschman.

What makes the Oscars a multi-billion-dollar business is that all parties involved in the event profit from it.

On Daenerys Entertainment's side, in addition to popular nominated films such as "Rain Man", in order to increase the exposure of the company's upcoming films such as "Bodyguard" and "The Sixth Sense", Kevin Costner, Robert De Niro and other stars will also attend the awards ceremony, and even Valerie Golino was sent back from Australia by Simon.

Valerie is not only the heroine of "Rain Man" in the awards season, but also the heroine of "Batman" which will be released at the end of the year. No matter which aspect, her attendance at this awards ceremony is very necessary.

The meeting room of the Daenerys Entertainment division in Burbank.

Near noon, Amy looked at her memo again, looked up at Deutschman and said, "The last thing, Ella, about Simon's nomination for the best soundtrack, how much do you think you have the chance to win the award?"

"I have tried my best, but the possibility of Simon winning the award is very low," Ella Deutschman shook her head and said, "In this nomination, besides Simon, David Grusin, "The Battle of Bean Fields", John Williams of "The Accidental Traveler", George Fenton of "Dangerous Relationships" and Maurice Vail of "Mist Locks" all have at least three Oscars in the music category Nominations, of which David Grussing, who has been nominated five times, and George Fenton, who has been nominated four times, have yet to receive an award."

Amy took a look at the list of nominations for the Best Soundtrack Award handed over by Deutschman, and found that the other four were all very old soundtrack masters. Only Simon was a newcomer, and it was the first time he was nominated.

Although "Rain Man" has a very high reputation for winning, Amy also feels that Simon is unlikely to win the award with such a nomination.

Putting down the information in her hand, Amy thought for a while, and said, "I told Simon about this, he just let me handle it casually, and I think he doesn't have any expectations for winning the award. But in any case, he still has to prepare. ."

Ella Deutschman said: "Usually this is the case with the rest of the crew helping to accept the award. In the "Rain Man" crew, only Valerie Golino is suitable."

"Then Valerie," Amy said directly, "You take the time to chat with her, and at least prepare an acceptance speech."

After talking about this matter, Amy re-checked her memo to confirm that nothing was missing, and announced the end of the morning meeting.

In the afternoon, Santa Monica arranged an audition for the supporting role of "Pretty Woman", which will start shooting in early May at the latest. Amy also had lunch with Angela Ahrendts, president of Gucci America, at noon, so she didn't plan to stop in Burbank.

Just as Amy left the conference room with her assistant, Ella Deutschman chased after them again, went downstairs with them, and said, "I heard that the hero of "Pretty Woman" hasn't been finalized yet? "

"Yeah," Amy knew that Deutschman must be recommended, and smiled: "Several candidates have been reported to Simon. If you plan to recommend, you must be good enough."

Ella Deutschman was also polite and said, "We just watched the demo of "My Left Foot" last week, Daniel Day Lewis, what do you think?"

Amy remembered Lewis' impeccable performance in "My Left Foot", and the other side's acting was clearly fine. Lewis' previous roles in "My Left Foot" were also mostly romance films, such as "A Room with a View" released by Deutschman when he was at New Films and last year's adaptation of Milan Kundera's novel. The Love in Prague.

However, after thinking for a moment, Amy shook her head: "Ella, the hero of "Pretty Moon" is a businessman, but Daniel's temperament is more inclined to an artist, and he is not suitable for this role."

Deutschman did not give up easily, saying: "Danny happened to be in Los Angeles recently, Amy, if possible, how about giving him a chance to audition?"

Amy was still very impressed by Daniel Day-Lewis' performance in "My Left Foot". After hesitating, she said, "Pretty Moon is going to be performed in Santa Monica this afternoon.

The audition for the supporting role, Ella, at four o'clock in the afternoon, I can only give Daniel twenty minutes. Moreover, this matter was finally decided by Simon. "

Ella Deutschman listened to Amy's agreement and said gratefully: "Thank you, Amy, I will let Danny go on time."

Amy smiled and said, "On your side, has Robert Altman finished the script for the Raymond Carver novel?"

Ella Deutschman shook her head and said, "Ultraman has come up with an outline, and the title of the movie will definitely be "Intersection of Life". However, it will definitely be out of play this year."

After finishing the PR of the awards season, Deutschman completed the release of "The Sid Sisters" left over from last year, and the remaining work this year is mainly "My Left Foot", "Driving for Miss Daisy" and the Gucci Documentary For the three projects, if possible, look for opportunities to buy some other literary and artistic film rights from channels such as the Cannes Film Festival.

However, Daenerys Entertainment is still the target of other Hollywood studios, and the plan to buy the copyright is not feasible. It's not easy to get there, at least while making sure the price is reasonable.

Leaving the Burbank branch, Amy's assistant Vanessa drove the car, and she sat in the back seat and flipped through a script.

This is the sequel to a horror film in the original New World Entertainment copyright library, adapted from Stephen King's horror novel "Children of the Cornfield". The first film was released in 1984 with a production cost of only $800,000, but it achieved Nearly $15 million at the North American box office, the market performance is comparable to the "Evil Ghosts" series.

Danny Morris, president of New World Pictures, released the project during the recent release of Ghostbusters 2.

"Children in the Cornfield" did not have the basis for developing a sequel. If you want to do so, the story will probably have to be restarted. Unlike "Monster Street" and "Monster Hunt" horror series like "Nightmare" or "Hell" Elements that are in the same line like magic boxes.

However, in Hollywood, as long as a movie is still profitable, these problems are obviously not a problem.

As a film adaptation of Stephen King's novel, and the first film also achieved a very impressive box office performance relative to the cost, the development of a sequel is inevitable.

Reading the script intently, occasionally annotating a few sentences with a pen, the car had parked outside a restaurant in Santa Monica not far from Daenerys Entertainment's headquarters.

Amy took Vanessa out of the car, Angela Ahrendts had arrived early, and Valerie Golino unexpectedly appeared in the restaurant.

Noticing Amy's doubts, Angela Ahrendts took the initiative to explain: "I accompany Valerie in the Gucci store in the morning, so I came over together."

Amy doesn't mind having an extra Valerie. In fact, even if she doesn't have this time, she will take time to have a meal with Valerie Golino, and talk about the filming of "Batman" in Australia by the way. .

The four women sat down in the restaurant and ordered food, and Amy asked Ahrendts, "How are you doing here?"

Since joining the company at the beginning of the month, Angela Ahrendts has been living a trapeze life all over North America. These days, she has visited most of the Gucci boutiques in major cities on the east coast. It will take at least a month or two to sort out all of them.

The sudden interruption of work this time came to Los Angeles, but it was for Gucci's promotion.

The Oscar ceremony has always been an important publicity platform for many big names. Gucci did not pay too much attention to this aspect of promotion in the past, and also lacked the personal channels to break into the Hollywood circle. Now, since everyone has a boss, Gucci will naturally not miss such an opportunity.

"Sandra Bullock, Julia Roberts, Melanie Griffith, Michelle Pfeiffer, Madonna, Valerie, oh, and Bruce Willis' wife Demi Moore, a total of 7 actresses will be wearing Gucci dresses at this awards ceremony," Angela counted with some excitement, and added: "In addition, Iger has also communicated with abc, and we can get a lot of live broadcasts. close-up."

Amy was about to nod when she suddenly remembered and said, "Isn't there Nicole Kidman, who is the best art director awarding guest this time?"

"No, I spoke to Mr Friedman from wma and he said that Miss Kidman had made an appointment with Dio ahead of time to wear each other's dresses. Mr Friedman also introduced me to some other actresses, but , you know, those female stars are a bit low, so there are only these 7."

Of course, Amy doesn't think that the seven actresses wearing Gucci dresses to attend the Oscars are a bit small. In fact, this number is already a lot. Except for Bruce Willis, the little-known wife, other women's coffee positions are very high.

Speaking of which, Bruce Willis's wife, um, Demi Moore, is still on the shortlist for the lead actress in Ghosts. The other party did this this time, obviously with the intention of taking the initiative to show their good intentions.

If it weren't for Bruce Willis, who had just started his popularity with "Die Hard", few people would have noticed his model wife.

As for "The Ghost Story", Amy actually prefers Michelle Pfeiffer or Julia Roberts in private.

Of course, Julia has already decided on "Pretty Woman with the Moon and the Moon", and she will definitely not be able to catch up with "The Ghost Story". If it weren't for the fact that the two sides had fallen out, Meg Ryan would also be a good choice, and perhaps Nicole Kidman, who rose to prominence with the "Pulp Fiction" heroine. It's just that this woman seems to have a lot of thoughts.

Overall, Michelle Pfeiffer is the first choice.

As for

That Demi Moore, Amy wouldn't look down on him just because of this kind of gesture. As Angela Ahrendts just revealed in her words, many actresses who have a low profile and are fortunate to attend this Oscar are also looking forward to wearing Gucci dresses. Apparently, Daenerys Entertainment has no shortage of such gestures.

"Just 7 for 7. I suggest you don't add more. It's not a good thing for a brand to appear too often."

"I think so too," Angela Ahrendts nodded and said, "I've been thinking about taking back as many Gucci counters as possible. If a luxury brand is everywhere, it's not a luxury brand. ."

Everyone chatted for a while, and Amy and Angela started talking about business again.

Something about Daenerys Entertainment's official celebration party after the Oscars.

There were not many nominations last year, and although Simon unexpectedly won a best editing award, there was no special celebration.

This year is different.

With Daenerys Entertainment's series of box office hits last year, even if nothing came out of the upcoming Oscars, the company had enough to throw a grand and comprehensive celebration party for last year's performance of Daenerys. The main creators of a series of blockbuster films of Silk Entertainment, and at the same time laying a good relationship for further cooperation in the future.

Before that, Amy had communicated with Sophia several times. Daenerys Entertainment's Oscar after-party this year will be named 'Gucci Night'. At that time, not only will a large number of stars attend, but also the media will be invited to cooperate publicity.

Although Angela Ahrendts just said that luxury goods should be controlled and not be too flooded, but Gucci has been silent for several years, and its original reputation in North America has also been suppressed by Dior, LV and other brands. This time is just an opportunity to stand out. .

Gucci's recent operation idea is to re-spread the popularity as much as possible, and then operate the brand image of this classic luxury brand in a more refined manner.

After the last two days of intense work, the 61st Academy Awards finally arrived on time on March 29.

5pm.

As the red carpet ceremony opened, a large number of stars gathered from all over Los Angeles to the Holy Citizen Auditorium, where this year's Oscars were held.
