The exclusive film palace of the Berlin Film Festival will not be completed until after 2000. At this stage, the main venue of the Berlin Film Festival is set at the Zoo Theater on the south side of the Zoo in the center of Berlin.

Although the name of the zoo theater does not match the style of the film festival, the screening hall is very luxurious, and the large hall is large enough to accommodate more than seven hundred spectators.

Simon walked across the red carpet as festival staff stepped up to usher him into the lobby.

There are still more than ten minutes before the opening ceremony, and the hall is already filled with most of the guests.

Simon's seat is in the ninth row, the seat is separated from the first eight rows by an aisle, and it has risen a step. He is in the most golden viewing position in this large theater, and it is also the most easily swept by the camera.

It is clear that the opportunity to contact Westeros is impossible to come by, and many guests at the scene put down their restraint and took the initiative to come over to chat with Simon.

It was not until 7:30, when the opening ceremony began, that the disturbance in the hall subsided.

That's right, just like the weather in Berlin in February, the Berlin Film Festival is full of aloofness that is incompatible with other film festivals. The opening ceremony was selected at 7:30 pm when the sky was completely dark.

If it's Los Angeles or Cannes, it doesn't matter at this point in time.

However, don’t forget that this is Berlin, which is still in February, the coldest time of the year. Simon paid special attention to the weather when he arrived in the morning. The temperature in Berlin recently reached minus 9 degrees at night.

Including the red carpet that Simon has walked before, it has only begun to appear in recent years due to the fading pressure of film festivals.

There were no red carpets at the Berlin Film Festival in previous years.

Fortunately, the atmosphere of the opening ceremony was very lively, different from the seriousness of the opening ceremony of Cannes, even a bit like the Oscars. A blond hostess from a local German TV station was very open on the stage, and various jokes came one after another. Finally, she left the stage and came to Simon to interact with him, which made the atmosphere of the scene more lively.

After the opening, it was a routine review and look, as well as the introduction of this year's participating films, and there were also several performances.

Probably finally taking into account the mood of the audience, the opening ceremony was only about 45 minutes, and the end time was only 8:15.

The opening video will start at 8:30.

As the opening ceremony wraps up, many guests come early, either heading to some party receptions or heading straight back to their residences.

Although Faye Dunaway, the heroine of the opening film "Arizona Dreams," sat next to Simon during the opening ceremony, and the two chatted a lot, Simon did not stay to watch the film.

Mainly there are other arrangements.

There is no official opening reception dinner for the Berlin Film Festival, but there will be no shortage of similar party receptions.

In order to promote the two films "Hoffa" and "Toys" that were shortlisted for the main competition unit, Fox specially arranged a reception after the opening ceremony at a hotel near the Zoo Theater.

Jack Nicholson's "Hoffa" has a budget of $35 million, and Robin Williams' "Toys" has a budget of $43 million. Twelve films were released last year and so far, both films have grossed only $100 million in North America. With just over $20 million, Fox can only expect overseas markets to make up for the losses as much as possible.

As for the return of capital or even profit, it is unlikely.

During this period, the attraction of the overseas film market basically fell on "Jurassic Park" at the end of last year.

As of last week, the overseas box office of this sci-fi dinosaur blockbuster produced by Daenerys Entertainment has exceeded 380 million US dollars. Counting 330 million in North America, the global box office has reached 710 million US dollars. According to the forecast of Daenerys Entertainment's publicity department, "Jurassic Park" can recover at least another 200 million US dollars overseas, and the global total box office will eventually reach a high of 900 million US dollars.

Because of the strength of "Jurassic Park", the overseas market almost instinctively inclined more resources to this super blockbuster. "Hoffa" and "Toys" did not cause much repercussions in North America. In the case of "Park" rampant, it is even less likely to perform in overseas markets.

However, what needs to be done is still to be done.

The cooperation between Daenerys Entertainment and News Corporation is still very close.

Rupert Murdoch personally made several phone calls in New York to invite Simon, and since he was in Berlin, he also dropped by to join.

The reception was hosted by Nicholas Walsh, a vice president of Fox's overseas theater distribution. Simon had just arrived at the hotel where the reception was, and Walsh personally greeted him.

It sounds helpless.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the time chosen for this promotion reception is obviously inappropriate, and a more appropriate time should be the following weekend.

It's just that the two Hollywood stars who participated in "Hoffa" and "Toys", Jack Nicholson and Robin Williams, did not give Fox too many schedules, and both agreed to stay in Berlin for only one day. Speaking of this, Nicholas Walsh, who was in charge of organizing the reception, was extremely depressed.

Daenerys Entertainment can crush the co-stars to the death, and even the first-line celebrities will basically cooperate with Daenerys Entertainment's various publicity activities.

Fox has no confidence in this regard, and can only accommodate such big names as Jack Nicholson and Robin Williams.

Of course, other

The reason is that the overseas publicity budget that Fox can give to the two films is really small.

If you are short of money, you can only save.

Fortunately, this reception is only for the press release, and Fox has not encountered such a situation. When publishing relevant publicity articles in the future, as long as a reasonable media strategy is formulated to avoid the hot spots of the opening ceremony.

Although there is no lively scene at the opening ceremony, the media lineup invited by Fox is not bad at all.

Simon was very cooperative and let the flash bomb in front of the photo wall with the posters of the two films before entering the reception hall with Nicholas Walsh.

Jack Nicholson, Robin Williams and others have also arrived.

Greetings as usual, a few cold and not warm.

Traditional Hollywood studios, in order to invite these big names, need to lower their profile and cooperate with various harsh conditions. Daenerys Entertainment has not done this since its establishment.

With the rise of special effects blockbusters, 3D animated films, and the DC Cinematic Universe, it's even less necessary now.

Special effects, 3D and superhero IPs are Daenerys Entertainment's 'A-level celebrities', and these celebrities will not only ask for high pay, but also do not propose such as only filming for 5 hours a day, not reciting lines, and not going outside. such harsh conditions.

Although Daenerys Entertainment does not refuse to cooperate with traditional superstars, the premise of such cooperation must be reciprocal, or, Daenerys Entertainment must maintain a dominant position, those who want to get high pay but also Celebrities who don't want to put in enough energy, don't even think about getting a chance from Daenerys Entertainment.

Jack Nicholson and others are also not enthusiastic about Simon.

This young man has obviously changed the power structure of Hollywood in recent years. Because of the strength of Daenerys Entertainment and the rapid rise of a large number of new stars under the support of Daenerys Entertainment, the status of these old-fashioned celebrities has been seriously affected. threaten.

If it weren't for the fact that Simon's current power and wealth are too terrifying, enough to directly crush the crooked thoughts of too many people, his life would never be easier.

Old-timers like Jack Nicholson can still stand on the shelf, but the other guests at the reception will not miss such an opportunity.

In fact, many people came to Simon.

Fox is also happy to be able to invite more stars to join the two films and increase the attention of the next news.

Reception hall.

Simon had just chatted with Denzel Washington about the ongoing filming of "Philadelphia Story", and Michelle Pfeiffer in a black evening dress came over.

"Night, Simon."

"Hi, Michelle," Simon said with a smile, looking at the dress on the woman's body, "I still think red suits your style better."

Michelle Pfeiffer raised her eyebrows slightly. She wore a red dress at the opening ceremony before, and just changed it. She failed to say hello to the little man in front of her at the opening ceremony, but she didn't expect the other party to notice: "But that dress is too thin. It's cold now."

"Oh, yes," Simon nodded, "but black is also very beautiful."

"Thank you," Michelle Pfeiffer said, taking a sip of the red wine, but his eyes still fell on the man in front of him, suddenly found something, and said, "Didn't your wife come with you this time?"

Simon smiled and shook his head: "No, she is also a very cold person."

"So," Michelle Pfeiffer's expression became a little more charming: "Are you alone now?"

"Obviously," Simon shrugged and asked, "How about you?"

"I'm alone too."

The implication is already very obvious.

Simon suddenly remembered, it seemed like a long, long time ago, when he had just come to Los Angeles and met Courteney Cox by chance, Courteney said he wanted to be a big star like Michelle Pfeiffer, Simon said In the future, I hope to invite Michelle Pfeiffer to star in my own films.

Speaking of which, when it is Michelle Pfeiffer, it is only the second-tier peak and the first-tier one.

In the original timeline, Michelle Pfeiffer rose to prominence with Brian De Palma's "Scarface" and peaked after her role as Catwoman in "Batman Returns."

Simon's appearance has caused many things to change.

The Catwoman character belongs to Valerie Golino.

In recent years, with "Witches of East Town", "Dangerous Relationships", "Sleeping with the Enemy", "Baker Brothers" and other popular or blockbuster films, Michelle Pfeiffer has still reached the first-line coffee position. However, among them, commercial The best performing "Sleeping with the Enemy", the box office performance is only over 100 million US dollars, far from being comparable to Catwoman.

Coupled with the rise of Hollywood's new generation of actresses, Michelle Pfeiffer's current first-line coffee position is not stable.

For Hollywood stars, if they want to secure their status, they either have box office or awards, just like Meryl Streep. Although there are not many super-selling films, but because of a series of actress halo, Meryl Streep is one of the few first-line actresses in Hollywood who can earn a solid $5 million.

After a second thought, Simon immediately understood why Michelle Pfeiffer would come over, and he was quite active.

Michelle Pfeiffer came to Berlin this time because of the film "Field of Love" in the main competition.

"Field of Love" is a feature film produced by Orion Pictures. It tells the story of a housewife who insists on rushing to Washington to attend the other party's wedding after Kennedy is assassinated. The film is intertwined with politics, race

, murder and other elements. Michelle Pfeiffer plays the lead actress in the film.

Unlike "Toys" and "Hoffa", which have already been released on a large scale, "Field of Love" only had a small-scale screening at the end of last year to qualify for awards season.

However, the film's reputation was unsatisfactory. The list of Oscar nominations was announced at the beginning of the month, and "Field of Love" only got one Michelle Pfeiffer nomination for best actress.

Counting "Dangerous Relationships" and "The Baker Brothers", this is already the third best actress Oscar nomination for Michelle Pfeiffer.

With the first two nominations already in place, this year's other nominees' works and strengths are not well-received. Therefore, this should be regarded as the most promising year for Michelle Pfeiffer to win the Oscar.

After the Oscars in the 1990s, the gold content was still higher.

If she can get the actress, Michelle Pfeiffer will be able to completely stabilize her position in the next few years. Even if it is a little longer, she will not have to worry about the lack of film appointments if she has the Oscar crown.

However, it is actually not easy to get this award.

Michelle Pfeiffer found that if there were no other help, this year's actress Emma Thompson, the heroine of "Howard Park", had a much higher chance of winning.

Because "Howard Manor" is a film produced by Daenerys Entertainment's Gaomen Pictures, Emma Thompson has successfully won a best actress in a drama at the previous Golden Globe Awards. Compared with last year, Daenerys Entertainment also performed very strongly in this year's awards season, and its research efforts are far from being able to compete with the declining Orion Films.

The Oscar nominations have been announced, and the key to PR for the awards is this month.

Noticing the clarity in Simon's eyes, Michelle Pfeiffer no longer covered it, stepped forward a little, looked up at Simon slightly, stretched one hand over Simon's arm, and said, "Simon, I live The hotel here is really bad, you must have a place to stay in Berlin, how about we go to your place and talk?"

Facing the woman's goal, Simon raised his hand to hold the tiny hand that the woman had called, and shook it, but let it go, with some playfulness in his smile, and shook his head slightly: "It's a pity, Michelle, the Oscar heroine this time. I can't give it to you, so, do you want to talk to me?"
