Santa Monica.

Daenerys Entertainment headquarters, Simon is saying goodbye to Kevin Costner, Jessica Lange, Michael Blake and others, "Dances with Wolves" will start shooting next month, and everyone has just finished a production film meeting.

With Simon's support, "Dances with Wolves" will still be directed and directed by Kevin Costner, who will also be named producer. Jessica Lange, who worked with Daenerys Entertainment on "Steel Magnolias" last year, plays the heroine "Stand Up Dance".

Compared with the original version, this new film has been greatly improved on the cast.

Although Jessica Lange has multiple Oscar nominations and won the best actress in 1983, her remuneration has not been high, and she has not played many roles in 'Stand Up Boxing Dance' and is more inclined to female supporting roles. The pay is only $1 million.

With the success of "Bodyguard", Kevin Costner has established himself as a first-line actor in Hollywood. However, the two parties had signed a contract before "Bodyguard", and he was paid only $6 million for both the director and the leading role.

Considering that the film may involve some of Hollywood's most difficult animal and child scenes, as well as a lot of wild scenes, Simon provided a budget of $25 million for the project, which is also higher than the original.

Now that he has enough confidence in "Dances with Wolves", Simon is not stingy when it comes to budget.

Of course, the budget is also limited to $25 million.

Simon has always attached great importance to the budget control of the movie, and set an example. "Batman" uses a lot of new technologies and new special effects. The late stage of the film is nearing completion, and there is no sign of overspending so far.

In the lobby on the first floor of the headquarters, Simon sent Kevin Costner and Michael Blake away, and shook hands with Jessica Lange, who was carrying a satchel, and said, "Jesse, see you next time."

Jessica Lange and Simon shook hands and asked, "Aren't you going to go to Jonathan's party tonight?"

Simon nodded and said, "I must go."

Today is Friday, July 14th.

On Wednesday, wma announced another major personnel change for the veteran talent agency. Norman Broca, the company's president, left, and vice president Jonathan Friedman took over as the new president of wma, and he also served on the board of directors.

Although the schedules differ by a month, both "Bodyguard" and "The Sixth Sense" will break the local box office mark of 100 million yuan this weekend. Daenerys Entertainment has previously announced that a grand celebration party will be held for the two films this Saturday. , In order to avoid this event of Daenerys Entertainment, Jonathan arranged his celebration party as the president of wma tonight.

Seeing Simon nodded, Jessica Lange smiled and said, "Then, we'll see you again tonight."

Simon said 'in advance': "Nice to see you again."

Jessica Lange chuckled.

After chatting for a few more words, sending off the main creative team of "Dancing With Wolves", Simon turned around and was about to return to the office, but Jennifer was already standing behind him, holding a folder in his hand, staring at him strangely .

Thinking that she was just joking with Jessica Lange and didn't mean to flirt, Jennifer should have no reason to be jealous, so she walked up to the stairs confidently and asked the female assistant who came up, "What's wrong?"

Jennifer handed over the folder in her hand and said, "Peter Butler of the Los Angeles Times just faxed a press release about you."

It wasn't jealous.

Hearing that it was a press release about himself, Simon didn't care too much.

With the rapid increase of wealth and fame, many mainstream newspapers in North America now want to publish news about Simon. In order to avoid getting into a lawsuit or having a bad relationship with Daenerys Entertainment, they will basically spread it to Simon's PR team or Daenerys first. Silk entertainment here.

Taking over the folder and opening it, Simon glanced at the title: "he can see people."

Some look familiar.

After thinking about it, it should be related to the "Sixth Sense" that is being released. Cole said to Dr. Crowe in the film: "I can see people."

The translation of this sentence is not 'I can see people', but 'I can see ghosts'.

Understanding this, Simon swept to the text.

"Following Simon Westeros closely for three years, I have always had a strong doubt as to where all the amazing talent Westeros showed came from. He was just an obscure orphan in San Jose, maybe Hard work, maybe smart, but as far as I can understand, no one seems to be as amazing as this young man in his early 20s this year."

"I have made many assumptions, maybe, Westeros is an alien, maybe, he has accepted some kind of mysterious scientific experiment, maybe, he is no longer him, but a spy after changing his face , Westeros is said to be proficient in many languages, which is exactly what a top spy must have."

"It's just that I haven't been able to find any substantive basis for all these assumptions."

"Until recently, after watching The Sixth Sense, I suddenly realized that this is probably the final answer I have been exploring."

"Simon Westeros is a psychic!"

"Don't worry, I'm not going to spoil it."

"The title of this article comes from the "Sixth Sense"

TV trailer, little boy Cole says to doctor: 'I can see ghosts'. "

"Now, if we put this phrase on Simon Westeros, 'he can see ghosts', then a lot of the things that have puzzled us in the past are explained. It is impossible for Westeros to have the opportunity to learn skills such as music, painting, film, foreign languages, etc. For a child at the bottom of the society, no matter how hard they work and lack of resources, these are obviously impossible to accomplish.”

"But what if it wasn't humans who taught him these things, but ghosts?"

"It all made sense all of a sudden."

"I even think that Simon Westeros' sudden mental breakdown three years ago may have something to do with it."

"Then Westeros came to Los Angeles and immediately became a movie genius."

"For an 18-year-old who probably hasn't seen a few movies since he was a kid, it's completely unbelievable. However, the most important thing in Los Angeles is obviously filmmakers. And so on, after more than half a century of accumulation in this city , Ghosts proficient in various movie skills should be enough to form a huge army. As long as Westeros can win over a group of elite ghosts to help, he can easily become a 'movie genius'."

"..."

"..."

The article was very long, and Simon read it with relish. When he came to the door of his office, he forgot to push the door in.

After reading the press release leaning against the door handle, Simon raised his head and noticed that Jennifer still had the weird expression just now, so he turned his eyes to the air on the right hand side of the female assistant, and said in a low voice: "Nate , our secret was discovered."

Because of reading this press release in advance, Jennifer was a little involved. At this time, when she heard what Simon said, she subconsciously looked to her right side, feeling that her whole body was a little hairy, and her goose bumps were oozing out.

Seeing that the female assistant was really frightened by him, Simon smiled and stretched out a forefinger, and stroked lightly on the white neck that was exposed when she turned her head.

When Simon crossed her neck, Jennifer reacted, and the left half of her body was slightly hot again.

Hot and cold, his face turned red.

Staring at Simon dissatisfied, seeing him push the door and walk into the office on his own, Jennifer chased in again, waited for the man to sit down behind the desk, and asked, "This, I have to call the Los Angeles Times to take it down. ?"

Simon leaned back in the leather chair and did not answer the question, but asked, "Jenny, do you think I can be psychic?"

Jennifer was stunned and shook her head: "I, I don't know."

Simon asked again suddenly: "So, are you afraid of death?"

Jennifer was a little confused, but she said honestly, "I'm afraid."

"I'm also afraid of death, to be precise, fear," Simon raised his hand and rubbed the folder in front of him and said, "So, I very, very hope that what this article says is true. Because if there are ghosts, That means death will no longer be the end. If death is the end of a journey, not the end, why should we fear?"

Jennifer nodded, but, perhaps because of this article, some thoughts were aroused, and the inquiry in the female assistant's expression still did not dissipate.

Simon smiled and said: "I can only say that I have indeed experienced some things. However, you can rest assured that I am not an alien, not a robot, nor a spy, nor a psychic, I am just Simon. Westeros, that's all."

Knowing that it was very rare for him to explain himself in such a vague way, Jennifer slightly curved her mouth, pointed to the article in front of Simon, and said, "Then, what about this?"

"Let them publish it, just in time to provide another publicity stunt for The Sixth Sense. Also, pass this article to Burbank and to Pat Kingsley for their attention. the trend of public opinion, and intervene when necessary to avoid any messy rhetoric."

Jennifer nodded, looked at her watch, it was already five o'clock.

Just as he was about to go out, there was a knock on the door.

After Simon responded, Nancy Brill pushed the door and walked in.

Getting off work on time does not exist for Simon, and he and Nancy have to discuss Blockbuster's IPO.

After more than half a year of continuous money-burning and expansion, Blockbuster’s cash flow has once again dried up. As a major shareholder, it is also Daenerys Entertainment’s obligation to help Blockbuster solve its financial difficulties. Through the matchmaking here, Blockbuster has obtained a five-year loan of US$100 million from Citibank with very favorable terms at the beginning of the month.

However, Blockbuster can't keep increasing its liabilities like this all the time.

After discussions among all parties, a group of shareholders passed the decision to push the company for an IPO.

This can't be done overnight. It will take about half a year. By then, Blockbuster's loan from Citibank should just be spent. Once listed, Blockbuster can more easily expand through additional stock issuance, bond issuance, stock exchange mergers and acquisitions, etc., which can greatly ease the financial pressure.

After saying hello, Jennifer left the office and went to work on her own. Simon also got up and sat down with Nancy in the reception area, so that they could easily read and compare some documents.

Simon didn't pay too much attention to the article, but when the Los Angeles Times published the press release the next day, the response was beyond his expectations.

"he can see people."

"He can see ghosts."

I have to say, the article

It is so logically reasonable.

Indeed, if Simon Westeros is a psychic, there is a very plausible explanation for everything he has shown in recent years.

While major mainstream newspapers have reprinted the Los Angeles Times article, the North American media has also set off a wave of proving that Simon Westeros is indeed a psychic.

Contacting Simon Westeros directly to try to interview the other party was fruitless, Westeros PR spokesperson Pat Kingsley just publicly refuted the absurdity of the article, and nothing else. As a result, the media have once again shifted their targets to San Jose, where Simon grew up, and to some of the people Simon used to be around.

Perhaps it was some kind of psychological suggestion effect. Those who knew Simon in the past "suddenly realized" and cited various unusual things about Simon as a child to prove the thesis of the "Los Angeles Times" article.

Some reporters also turned their attention to the Watsonville mental hospital where Simon once lived.

However, because Janet had signed a non-disclosure agreement with many people in that hospital, the reporters got nothing this time, but this further stimulated the curiosity of the media to find out.

In the end, Janet called from Melbourne and curiously asked if Simon was a psychic. If so, the necklace that the woman's grandmother originally planned to leave her as a dowry could not be found after the old man's death, and wanted Simon to help "ask" where it was placed.

Simon sullenly suggested that the woman demolish the Johnston family mansion and look over it, and she will definitely find it.

Things have been noisy for a few days, and sure enough, some other arguments about Simon began to emerge. Fortunately, it is not the Middle Ages, otherwise, Simon felt that he might have been tied to the stake and burned to death. To keep the argument out of control, Daenerys Entertainment's media department and Simon's personal PR team both started to put out the fire.

On the other hand, this incident, as Simon expected, once again stimulated the box office of "The Sixth Sense".

Because of some theories that Cole is Simon Westero's "self-portrait", many viewers who were still unmoved by the film despite the discussions around them have recently begun to buy tickets to enter the venue.

In the end, from July 14th to July 20th, the box office of "The Sixth Sense" dropped by a negligible 2.7%. In the third week of its release, it made another 38.25 million US dollars, and the cumulative box office quickly reached 118.86 million US dollars. This phenomenon-level horror film not only completed the breakthrough of 100 million yuan in three weeks, but also surpassed the box office figure of 110.65 million US dollars accumulated in three weeks and two days of "Indiana Jones 3" in the same period.

In addition, in the seventh week of its release, "Bodyguard" also successfully exceeded the 100 million yuan mark, with a cumulative box office of 104.25 million US dollars in seven weeks.

After the "silence" in the first half of the year, Daenerys Entertainment created two North American box office films that exceeded 100 million in one fell swoop.

The number of moviegoers in North America has basically not changed much in recent years. Daenerys Entertainment’s films have harvested the box office so strongly that it will inevitably suppress other studios, so some things have happened.
