Hollywood New Century

After the Oscars, there will be a Vanity Fair dinner, a big party hosted by Vanity Fair magazine.

The Vanity Fair banquet not only invites all Oscar nominees and award presenters, but also famous actors, singers, models, agents, film company executives, and some fashion and media personnel who did not attend the Oscars.

Therefore, the Vanity Fair dinner was more star-studded than the Oscars, and the party venue was held at the Sunset Tower Hotel in Los Angeles.

It only takes less than ten minutes to drive from Beverly Hills.

"Simon, you need to change your temper. Hollywood connections are very important, especially when you don't have money, you can't always do what you think of, control it," Nicole couldn't help but reminded sitting in the car. , after all, Simon is really capable and has a very accurate vision for movies, not to mention that "Juno" made himself more than 100 million US dollars.

"I know, don't worry, I only offended an actor, not a capitalist. After this year, I don't have to worry about money all the time!" Simon is really not afraid of worrying about George Clooney and his like How big is the impact?

"Alas!" Nicole was helpless, young people are not afraid of anything.

At the entrance of the Sunset Tower Hotel in Los Angeles, countless reporters and media and star entertainers dared to come to the banquet.

"Simon, Simon, can I ask you a few questions?" Nicole and Simon got out of the car and were surrounded by reporters.

Nicole was worried that Simon was talking nonsense, and quickly smiled: "Everyone, Simon and I are going to rush in for the dinner party, so we can't be interviewed for the time being!"

"Simon, is the person you said at the Oscars George Clooney?"

"Simon, what do you think of George Clooney's pseudo-environmentalism?"

"Simon, do you think George Clooney is just fueling the conversation with his political views?"

Simon waved his hand and said with a serious expression: "You are slandering. When did I target Mr. George Clooney? I didn't mention anyone's name, I just didn't admit it!"

Under the watchful eyes of the reporters, Simon hurriedly entered the hotel.

"Very good, that's a good performance just now, you really didn't mention your name," Nicole said comfortably. In Hollywood, such a shameless character must be possessed.

"Okay, let the reporters write the news as they please. Adding some topicality will indeed promote the movie I'm about to show," Simon shook his head as he spoke. Some things don't need to be made too clear. It means just fine.

"Mr. Pike, I support you!" Ellen Page, the gathering point of the crew, came over and said seriously.

"Don't, Alan, you are just in a good time for development, don't get involved, George Clooney is very well-connected, if you stand up, you may be targeted, after all, you are also working with other actors," Simon Patted her shoulder.

"But, Mr. Parker, I think you're right. Many people are shouting about feminism, but they don't do anything about it. Only Mr. Parker is real. The three movies are all about women. Add your script, Hard Candy, and that's four directors," Ellen Page is clearly a staunch feminist.

"Don't worry, although I have a shallow foundation, it is only temporary, and it will be the same in the future," Simon said. Feminism has always been just a tool. No matter what kind of doctrine, it is a double-edged sword.

It's just that now I am indeed tied to feminism, but I will allow feminism to grow into the future, of course it is impossible.

"Okay, Ellen, remember not to talk nonsense when interviewing reporters, I'm a filmmaker, they don't want to target me, but you're different, you're an actor!" Simon didn't care whether she was sincere or not, Either because she was grateful for her promotion, or because her agent told her to say it, it doesn't matter anymore.

At least, there is also a sincere support of three or four points, after all, I am indeed safeguarding the interests of women.

"Hi Simon, good evening!" Ms. Nancy Atley, one of the co-chairs of Fox Searchlight Pictures, came over.

"Ms. Atri, good evening, I hope this time there is no adverse impact on the release of "Little Miss Sunshine"," Simon is now a small person, and his position is right.

"Fortunately, young people, there is always some impulsiveness in doing things, but George Clooney should have no contact with you, why would he suddenly attack him?" Not only Nancy Ateli was puzzled, but others were more Doubt, the two are not from the same era at all.

"Well, it was also impulsive. At that time, I felt that I couldn't keep my mouth shut. I really didn't know him. I know him, but I haven't seen his movies!" Simon explained honestly.

"Forget it," Nancy Atre didn't care much about this, "The number of theaters opened for "Little Miss Sunshine" is 60, and we Fox Searchlight are ready to increase the number of theaters after we complete the preparations. Juno is as big a hit!"

"Understood, the story of "Little Miss Sunshine" is flatter than that of "Junot", and the topic is not as much, but I am confident that it is also a successful movie!" Simon and Nancy Ateli touched wine glasses, There are 60 more theaters than "Juno", that's fine.

Not far from the ballroom, Harvey Weinstein is talking to indie producer Steven Blunt.

"Steven, this adaptation shouldn't have any good results, and the cost budget is too high for Weinstein Pictures to invest right now," Harvey Weinstein rejected Steven Blunt's Asking, joking, spending $65 million to adapt a war movie full of muscular men and not Sin City's alluring femininity.

"Harvey, Zack Snyder's previous remake of "Dawn of the Living Dead" was also a very successful movie. He also adapted the script and directed this "Spartan 300 Warriors", using a new way of expression. Zach brought you some prepared scripts?" Steven Blunt is still persuading that your Dimen Pictures did not just released last year's adaptation of Frank Miller's comic "Sin City" ", this is also an adaptation of his comics!

"I'm sorry, Steven, we don't have any extra money at Weinstein Films now," Harvey Weinstein said with an embarrassed look on his face.

But Simon Pike, who was passing by, heard "300 Spartans" and the name of Zack Snyder, and quickly thought of the movie that was full of male hormones. Good movie!

Simon's eyes quickly glanced behind Steven Blunt, who had just left, and happened to meet Harvey Weinstein's eyes.

I saw Harvey Weinstein walking towards Simon and smiled: "Simon, congratulations on winning the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. It's not easy to win an Oscar at such a young age!"

"Thank you!" Simon responded lightly when he wanted to walk over and chat with the man just now about "Spartan 300 Warriors".

"Oh, Simon, I talked to Mr. George Clooney, he talked about you, he actually had a good impression of you, but unfortunately, someone thinks the whole world is his because of one success," Harvey Weinstein watched Simon leave, and continued after him,

"Hollywood is not able to do whatever it wants once it succeeds, but once it fails, it will fall into the abyss!"

"What do you say, Mr. Pike?"

Simon had already passed by Harvey Weinstein, but his last words were a bit loud, and people around him were already looking at him.

Just offended George Clooney, now offended Harvey Weinstein? This is what these people have in mind.

Simon knew that this guy made the contradiction public in front of everyone, and the purpose was to attack himself. With the strong influence of Harvey Weinstein, Simon, a new rookie, did not have any chance of winning.

Of course, if Simon is just an ordinary person with talent, but, he definitely kicked the steel plate.

However, Simon would not be stupid enough to conflict with him in such a place. After all, many of the people here are big-headed people.

Simon turned around and smiled slightly, took a sip of the wine in his hand, and said, "Everyone will fail, but the definition of failure is different!"

"If my Simon Pike movie doesn't make money at the box office, it's a failure for me."

"Mr. Weinstein, I think if there is such a failure in the future, I should be able to persevere!"

Arrogance, Simon Parker really showed the arrogance to the fullest this time. Harvey Weinstein's face was not good-looking, and he said around the corner that his Weinstein Films' movies were bad at the box office, and most of them had to pay back By DVD!

Simon didn't care about Harvey Weinstein and the spectators around him, thinking about the big fish just now.

Anyway, few people will take Simon's words seriously. There must be a lot of people who see him fail. Young people who have just entered Hollywood are all clamoring for success, and there are a few who have succeeded. It is Harvey Weinstein's Wei Wei. Ernstein Films was indeed a failure last year and lost a lot of money.

"Where did that guy go?" Simon couldn't find the guy who was talking to Harvey Weinstein just now.

While thinking, Sonia Roman came over, her face was a little anxious, Simon said before she spoke: "Sonia, I know what you are going to say, but I have an important thing for you to do now."

"Someone just seemed to be looking for investment in Harvey Weinstein, it's a Frank Miller comic book movie, the one from my office, I haven't had time to watch it, 'Spartan 300', that guy Still, help me find out, I want to chat with him!"

Facing Simon's serious face, as a subordinate, Sonia Roman had no choice but to nod and agree.
