"This year's Golden Globes nominees for best actress in a musical or comedy are: Mia Farrow, "Alice"; Julia Roberts, "Pretty Woman"; Andie McDowell, "Green Card Love" "; Demi Moore, "Ghosts"; Meryl Streep, "Postcards from the Edge."

On the stage in the Hilton Hotel Ballroom.

Morgan Freeman, the winner of the last Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Musical Comedy category, finished introducing the nomination list, smiled and tore open the envelope in his hand, glanced at it, and quickly said into the microphone: "The winner is Julie. A. Roberts, congratulations."

Warm applause rang out.

Tonight, Julia Roberts, who wore a white one-shoulder evening dress, got up from her round table with an unbelievable face, hugged several "Pretty Woman" creators around her, and stumbled a little while carrying her skirt. onto the stage.

Taking the trophy from Morgan Freeman, the big-mouthed beauty came to the microphone, still unable to restrain herself, and couldn't help covering her mouth.

The audience applauded once again.

"It's unbelievable, it's like a dream," Julia Roberts, who was actually only 23 years old this year, finally spoke up after a while, stumbling over to the microphone and said, "First of all, I want to thank Simon, without him there would be no Everything I am now..."

At a round table at the back of the banquet hall, Janet heard the speech of the beauty with a big mouth on the stage, raised a finger and waved it in front of Simon, and said, "The sixth time, I was thinking, I just forgot to thank you. Your Michael Blake, won't you fidget right now."

The awards ceremony has continued to this day. Counting the best actress in the musical comedy category just won, Daenerys Entertainment has won 7 major awards, including 5 movie awards and 2 TV awards. Of the seven awards speeches, six of which the winner thanked Simon, only "Dances with Wolves" screenwriter Michael Blake didn't mention it.

Simon stretched out his hand to pinch Janet's beautiful fingertips, but was avoided by the woman without chasing him, and said softly, "Too many times."

I remember that in the original time and space, there were good people who counted the Hollywood celebrities who were thanked the most at the Oscars. The top-ranked Steven Spielberg and Harvey Weinstein have accumulated only thirty or forty times over the years.

The Golden Globes naturally cannot compare to the Oscars. However, with the momentum tonight, Simon feels that it will not be many years before he will create a record of being thanked at various awards ceremonies.

Simon doesn't want to appear to be everywhere at all, he prefers to be 'behind the scenes'.

Janet was very aware of her man's thoughts and said, "You can explain to Deutschman after the party."

On the stage, Julia Roberts finished her speech, the host came to the stage to warm up for a while, and then began the awarding of the best actor in the drama category.

Kevin Costner has already won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director, but his performance in "Dancing With Wolves" really didn't have many highlights, and he lost to the "Fate of the Fate" without any surprise. Jeremy Irons in Reversal.

Jeremy Irons plays Alfred the Butler in the larger version of Batman.

Not surprisingly, Jeremy Irons will next win this year's Oscar for Best Actor. This middle-aged male star from the United Kingdom in his early 40s this year has a good appearance and acting skills. Unfortunately, his luck is not good. Since he entered Hollywood in the 1980s, several commercial films that he has participated in consecutively have not been successful at the box office.

Hollywood is very superstitious.

Actors often struggle to get quality projects from studios after several consecutive film box office failures. With fewer and fewer resources, it becomes more and more difficult to turn over.

Best Actor in a Drama Series is followed by Best Picture in a Drama Series.

"Dancing With Wolves" successfully beat "Goodfellas", "Intersection of Life", "The Godfather 3" and "Reversal of Fate" to win the Best Picture in the Drama category.

According to statistics, of all the 13 film awards that have received a lot of attention at this Golden Globe Awards, only the film produced by Daenerys Entertainment won 6, which are the best film in the drama category of "Dances with Wolves". , Best Director for Kevin Costner, Best Actress in a Drama Series for Susan Sarandon, Best Actress in a Comedy Musical for Julia Roberts, Best Screenplay for "Dances with Wolves" Best Supporting Actress with Whoopi Goldberg.

Almost half of the award share can be described as the limelight.

Although it was a celebration party for Daenerys Entertainment, after the awards ceremony, many stars were invited to the Malibu Daenerys Studios.

Daenerys Entertainment's post-Oscar party has been booked by gucci, this time after the Golden Globes celebration party is held in the name of Igret company.

The development of the Westeros system in the Internet industry not only means AOL's free trial and Igreit's generous content investment, but also means sparing no effort in advertising.

In addition to advertising on TV networks and various print media platforms, the Igret website now has a spokesperson. Sandra Bullock, as a star user of Igret's blog and personal relationship with Simon, easily grabbed this job, three years of speaking, and took $5 million a year very rudely.

After Simon and Janet left the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel, they stopped by the mansion in Palisades and asked Janet to change into a dress before heading to Daenerys Studios.

After some delay, after taking a photo in front of the photo wall with the logos of Daenerys and Igret,

Entering the party hall of the studio activity center, it is already full of people.

It was probably deliberately arranged to stare, and the Simon and his wife had just entered the party hall when Kevin Costner brought Michael Blake, the screenwriter of "Dancing With Wolves", over to say hello.

Janet listened to Michael Blake's words mixed with some uneasiness to express her joy for winning the award and her gratitude to Simon, and inadvertently threw an "I guess right" look at her man.

Of course Simon wouldn't care about the details of Michael Blake's forgetting to thank him when he won the award. If he didn't even have this amount of stomach, then the days would not be over, so he even comforted a few words.

When Kevin Costner and Michael Blake left, Simon asked Ella Deutschman, the head of Highgate Pictures, to call: "That's it, you say hello to the PR of those nominees. , the next Oscars, including future awards ceremonies, don't thank me any more."

Ella Deutschman was puzzled: "Simon, is there any problem?"

Simon shook his head and smiled: "No, that's what I just meant. I don't want to have Simon Westeros' name all over the place in future awards ceremonies, which will make people feel as if I'm manipulating the awards."

Ella Deutschman finally nodded and said, "I understand."

After explaining this matter, Simon changed the topic at will and asked, "So, how is the filming progress of "Piano Farewell"?"

The two chatted casually for a while, during which Janet saw Catherine and walked over to get together with the women.

After sending Ella Deutschman away, the female assistant quietly appeared beside Simon and accompany him to socialize in the crowd for a while, Amy Pascal came over with another guest, but it was Steven Spiel Berg.

Simon greeted him with a smile, shook hands with Spielberg, and greeted, "Good evening, Steven."

Spielberg also smiled and shook hands with Simon, but there were some complicated emotions in his expression.

This young man who has risen rapidly in Hollywood in just a few years is now his boss. Spielberg made his debut as a contract director under Universal Pictures. After he became famous with "Jaws", the original long-term contract was replaced by several film contracts. Until now, he still owes Universal three film contracts.

Because of the promotion that year, Spielberg and the two heads of mca, Lou Vassalman and Syd Simberg, have a very close relationship. Now Daenerys Entertainment's acquisition of mca is a certainty, Lou Vaisalman The fact that Salman and Sid Simberg were kicked out of the mca by Simon Westeros added to Spielberg's mixed feelings.

However, the contract still has to be followed.

Amy Pascal has recently been discussing with Spielberg about his next directing film, a sci-fi adaptation called Jurassic Park. If Spielberg is willing, the project can be put under the name of Universal Pictures, which will be prepared this year and start shooting early next year.

Last year's blockbuster "Captain Hawk" with Colombia has been completed and is now entering the post-production stage.

Although the project was carefully held in Columbia's hands, during the filming process, Spielberg had a faint feeling that the film was likely to be a disaster, a personal waterloo, and he was exhausted by it.

Therefore, after receiving the proposal from Daenerys Entertainment, Spielberg said that he would consider it carefully even if he showed some instinctive resistance to Simon Westeros. After all, Daenerys Entertainment's projects have always been very guaranteed in terms of box office.

Amy Pascal also promised him that as long as "Jurassic Park" is taken over, Daenerys Entertainment can support the filming of "Schindler's List" that recreates the Holocaust during World War II. ".

Everyone casually exchanged a few words, and when Spielberg walked away, Simon asked Amy, "How's it going?"

"Steven agreed, but we still have to talk to Ovitz about the remuneration." Amy said, and added: "Steven's previous movie contracts were all shared by omni-channel profits. Like Captain Hawk's 20% omni-channel profit share, Ovitz still leans towards that. I've been in contact with Ovitz a few times, and he's a little loose on his side, agreeing to accept something similar to John Hughes A box-office share deal, though, for Steven's base salary, Ovitz wants about $10 million."

Daenerys Entertainment signed two film contracts with John Hughes, and the salary plan was $5 million in base salary plus 10% of the local box office share. This agreement is actually very generous, and it can also allow filmmakers to work for a shorter period of time. Get the reward you deserve.

In the original time and space, Spielberg signed the "Jurassic Park" contract, which is a base salary plus 20% of the omni-channel share.

Spielberg took just $250 million from the first Jurassic Park movie because of Jurassic Park's global success.

After Panasonic acquired mca, it clearly had super-sold works such as "Jurassic Park", but still sold mca to Seagram a few years later, a large part of the reason was that the movie lost money, and the loss was almost all Panasonic took on it, but the movie made money, especially for projects like "Jurassic Park", most of the profits were taken away by Hollywood filmmakers, and Panasonic could only take advantage of it no matter what.

Simon had considered directing Jurassic Park himself, and now that he obviously doesn't have the time, it seemed fitting to hand over the project to the original crew.

Of course, the omni-channel sharing contract will definitely not be considered this time, but a

A base salary plus box office share agreement similar to John Hughes.

If "Jurassic Park" can still get as high a box office as the original time and space, with the agreement given by Simon, Spielberg's personal income can still reach 40 to 50 million US dollars, which is of course still a sky-high price. However, Simon believes that this is worth the money. A director who can create a global box office of 1 billion US dollars is definitely worth the price.

In comparison, the $250 million in the original time and space exceeded Simon's tolerance limit.

Simon didn't comment too much on the basic salary proposed by Ovitz, just nodded and let Amy continue to talk, and instead asked: "What about Schindler's List?"

"Steven has always had some apprehensions about how to express some of the emotional twists in the film, but he's grateful for your support."

Amy said so, with a somewhat different meaning on her face.

The project "Schindler's List" has been circulating in Hollywood since the 1980s. After so many years of delay, the original author of the film, Thomas Keneally, often called Spielberg, half-truly complaining about whether he could He was very old before he died to see the project being brought to the big screen.

In the final analysis, "Schindler's List", in the eyes of many people, has no commercial potential at all, and is just a work that witnesses Jewish history. Although the Jews in Hollywood are united, they will not rashly invest in such a work that is destined to be unlikely to make money.

Amy is also Jewish.

In Amy's view, Simon's support for the "Schindler's List" project at this point in time when Daenerys Entertainment is about to annex mca is likely to express an attitude to the Jewish community in Hollywood and ease his role in Hollywood. The pressure of growing power on the Jewish community.

In fact, Simon does have this kind of mind.

Because of the environment in his previous life, Simon was not too sensitive to racial issues in his bones.

However, after a few years of rebirth, he had to face this problem squarely.

The Jewish power in Hollywood is indeed very strong, or the Jewish power in the entire United States is very strong.

And it's simply impossible to change that.

From the beginning of World War II, Jews have launched a large number of young people from their ethnic groups to participate in the war, and until now, the Jewish military system in the United States also controls powerful power. If the anti-Semitic phenomenon happened in the United States, as it was in Germany, the result would likely be a civil war.

Simon is not afraid to reject Jews, and of course he doesn't want this to happen the other way around.

Therefore, after the acquisition of mca, the shooting of "Schindler's List" can be regarded as a kind of homeopathy. Moreover, the "Schindler's List" in memory is actually very profitable.
