After the weekend, it's the last week of June.

Before that, "Wonder Woman" officially started filming in the UK on June 17 last Monday.

This time, Australia was not chosen to shoot, mainly because the origin story still follows the World War I background of Gal Gadot's version in Simon's memory, and Australia does not have scenes such as London during World War I and the Amazonian Paradise Island. land.

Therefore, the film will mainly be shot in two European countries, the United Kingdom and Italy.

Daenerys Entertainment's 1992 list of major projects has largely been set, with a flurry of projects and filming commenced in recent months.

In 1992, Daenerys Entertainment independently produced and released a total of four key projects for the time being, namely "Ninja Turtles 2" in the Easter period, "Wonder Woman" in the summer period, and "Home Alone 2" in the Thanksgiving period. and Jurassic Park on Christmas Day.

At the same time, the film list of Daenerys Entertainment's external cooperation has been confirmed for three films, namely "The Last of the Mohicans" with Warner Bros., "Peachy Deal" with Paramount, and "MGM" The Killing Hour.

Seven films, all of which are blockbusters in Simon's memory.

After clarifying some of the laws of Daenerys' production of films, these seven projects have also become the focus of all Hollywood filmmakers.

"Thank you for coming over today, Sam, and Renee."

"You're welcome, Simon, this is what I should do."

"It's an honor to work with you, Steven."

Malibu, Daenerys Studios.

The final auditions for the lead actors and actresses of 'Jurassic Park' are finally over.

After this period of screening, Simon and Spielberg passed the audition together today, finalizing Sam Neill and Renee Russell as paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant and paleobotanist Ellie in the film, respectively. Dr. Steller's actor.

The original version of "Jurassic Park" was more of a group show, except that the couple, Dr. Grant and Dr. Steller, had more scenes.

Simon didn't intend to make too many changes to the original Jurassic Park plot.

However, this time it will change some of the mistakes made by the original series.

The most important thing is to maintain the continuity of the series.

The "Jurassic Park" trilogy in the 1990s, with the exception of the first film, which grossed more than $900 million worldwide, the latter two were not as good as the other.

In Simon's view, apart from the fact that the plot seriously imitates the first film and lacks innovation, the most important reason is the lack of coherence in the story.

In "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World", several protagonists of the first part all withdrew. Except for the dinosaur element, it is basically another story, which largely caused the sequel to the North American box office compared to the first one. shrunk in half.

The "Jurassic World" restarted many years later, the producers have not made such mistakes again.

Leading actors and actresses Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard still acted in the first film after the global box office hit of 1.6 billion US dollars, and the coherent story made the sequel still have more than 1.3 billion US dollars in the case of mediocre word of mouth. global box office.

Therefore, Simon has identified at least two resident roles from the beginning this time.

It is the pair of scientists played by Sam Neill and Renee Russo, who will be signed directly by Daenerys Entertainment for the trilogy.

Of the two, Sam Neill is the original actor, needless to say.

Renee Russell replaced the original Laura Dern.

In addition to personal factors, Simon felt that Renee Russell, regardless of age and temperament, was more suitable for the role of a paleobotanist than Laura Dern.

Laura Dern looked like a 30-something in the original film, and it seemed like a perfect match for Sam Neill, but in reality, the old-looking actress is only 25 years old this year.

As far back as I can remember, Laura Dern got the role mainly because she was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress a year before the film started.

Steven Spielberg doesn't like to work with actors who are too high-profile. Laura Dern, who has an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress, is just right in terms of popularity and acting skills.

This time, "Jurassic Park" is a year ahead of schedule, and Laura Dern's Best Supporting Actress nominee "Rose of Passion" has yet to hit theaters. Coincidentally, Renee Russo got a Best Supporting Actress nomination at this year's Oscars for her role in Goodfellas, which Simon hooked up last year.

Simon has no feelings for Laura Dern, and Renee Russell is very suitable. Naturally, there is no need to toss other things.

After the audition, Sam Neill and Renee Russell left first, Simon and Spielberg discussed other supporting roles, and went to Daenerys Special Effects to check out some special effects developed for "Jurassic Park". motion capture technology.

The Velociraptor in the film will be shot this time with motion capture technology that can make the picture more vivid and vivid, instead of pure CG animation.

At the same time, motion capture technology matures ahead of time and can also be applied to more other films of Daenerys Entertainment.

So busy until noon, having lunch with Spielberg, Simon personally sent each other to the parking lot, and was about to part, Spielberg seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "There is one more little thing, Simon."

West

Meng looked at Spielberg's expression, probably realized something, and smiled to signal the other side to speak.

Spielberg also smiled and said: "Regarding the "The Last of the Mohicans" you are preparing, I have a goddaughter, and she hopes to try the role of the sister of the kidnapped sisters in the script. "

"Is your goddaughter, Steven, the little girl from 'Alien et', Drew Barrymore?"

Spielberg shook his head and said: "No, it's the other one, Gwyneth Paltrow. I have known his father for a long time and worked together at Universal. She is 19 years old and has just I had a small cameo in that Captain Hawk."

So, with such a godfather, what else can others say?

Simon sighed in his heart, but there was no hesitation. This kind of favor must still be given, so he nodded cheerfully: "No problem, I will arrange it."

Michael Mann has been writing the script for "The Last of the Mohicans" during this time. Simon has read the first draft, and the two sisters don't have too many scenes.

Moreover, since she can get an Oscar-winning actress, Gwyneth Paltrow will definitely not have no talent in acting. Although it is the godfather, the other party should understand that Spielberg's favor is not unlimited, and he will not be as scornful as the "god daughters" in Simon's memory based on the background behind him.

Simon's rapid rise conceals the brilliance of the older, first-line directors like Spielberg.

If there is no grudge in the heart, it is impossible.

Originally, with Spielberg's status in Hollywood, such a small role may just need a phone call. The reason why I have to mention it with Simon in person is because of the key projects of Daenerys Entertainment, all the main creators need to be decided by Simon himself.

Seeing Simon's promise so straightforward, Spielberg's subconscious barriers to this young man could not help but eliminate a lot.

The two continued to chat by the car for a while before Spielberg drove away.

After sending Spielberg away, Simon just turned around when the female assistant came over with a folder in hand.

"AOL has just sent the latest revised prospectus. If you have no comments, it will be submitted to sec tomorrow. The IPO roadshow will start on July 1, and the listing will be officially launched on July 12."

According to the U.S. stock listing process, AOL’s prospectus was submitted two months ago, and this time it was just to make some changes to the details and terms.

Simon took the document handed over by the female assistant and opened it as he walked, finding the revisions that had been marked.

After the recent split adjustment, AOL's total share capital is roughly determined to be 150 million shares, of which Westeros holds 112.9 million shares, a shareholding ratio of slightly more than 75%. The remaining approximately 25% of the shares are owned by the companies that participated in the previous investment and the management of AOL.

In addition, AOL's IPO will adjust the company to a dual-class share structure.

The original 150 million shares are Class A shares, and the 22.5 million shares to be issued are Class B shares.

Class B shares have one-tenth the voting power of Class A shares.

After the issuance of new shares equal to 15% of the total share capital, the voting rights of Westeros Company actually decreased by less than 1%, still at 74.1%.

Therefore, in the future, unless Simon voluntarily gives up, almost no one will be able to take control of AOL from Westeros, not even the original shareholders who also own some Class A shares.

In the revised document in Simon's hands, the main adjustment this time is still the issue price range of AOL.

Morgan Stanley, which is responsible for the underwriting of new shares of this IPO, valued the AOL IPO at US$2.5 billion more than two months ago. Valuations are also rising.

With this revision, the offering price range for AOL filings is $19 to $21.

Based on the maximum IPO price of $21, it is equivalent to a valuation of $3.15 billion for AOL.

With the growth rate of AOL's users, in the first half of 1990, the total number of users is expected to reach 3.5 million, and the annual number is expected to exceed 7 million.

According to the average payment amount of $30 per user per month, the number of users reaches 3.5 million, and AOL's monthly revenue will exceed 100 million, which is not counting the additional user growth in the second half of the year. Therefore, Simon actually feels that the valuation of $3.15 billion is still low.

However, he also does not plan to raise the issue price any further.

Leaving the excess stock price growth potential to the market will benefit AOL and the entire Internet industry a lot.

You know, Cisco's IPO is also in preparation.

Cisco is aimed at ISPs throughout the United States. Taking advantage of the rise of the Internet and the monopoly of the World Wide Web technology by the Westeros system, this company has actually grown more rapidly in the past year. It's just that Cisco's performance as a hardware maker isn't as intuitive as AOL's rapid monthly growth in subscriber numbers.

Simon listed Cisco after AOL for this reason.

If AOL can get a good start, the capital market will certainly likewise greatly sought after Cisco.
