Chapter 395

"The best actress nominations for the Golden Globe awards are: Mia Farrow, Alice; Julia Roberts, pretty girl; Andy McDowell, green card; Demi Moore, ghost; Meryl Streep, postcard from the edge."

In the ballroom of the Hilton Hotel.

Morgan Freeman, the winner of the last Golden Globe Award for best actor in musical comedy, finished introducing the nomination list. With a smile, he tore open the envelope in his hand, looked at it, and quickly said into the microphone, "the winner is Julia Roberts. Congratulations."

Warm applause.

Julia Roberts, who was wearing a white one shouldered evening dress tonight, got up from her round table in disbelief, hugged some of the creators of "pretty girl" around her, and staggered onto the stage with her skirt.

After receiving the trophy from Morgan Freeman, the big mouth beauty came to the microphone, still unable to restrain herself, and could not help covering her mouth.

The audience gave face again applause.

"It's incredible. It's like a dream." a moment later, Julia Roberts, who is only 23 years old this year, finally said, "first of all, I want to thank Simon. Without him, I would not have everything I have now..."

Next to a round table at the back of the banquet hall, Janet heard the big mouthed beauty's speech on the stage. She shook her finger in front of Simon's eyes and said, "for the sixth time, oh, I wonder if Michael Blake, who just forgot to thank you, will be restless now."

The award ceremony continues until now. With the best actress in music and comedy just won, Denise entertainment has won seven awards, including five film awards and two TV awards. Of the seven speeches, six of the winners expressed their thanks to Simon, only Michael Blake, the screenwriter of dance with the wolf, didn't mention it.

Simon reached out and tried to pinch Janet's beautiful fingertips. She was shunned by women and did not catch up with them. She whispered: "too many times"

I remember that there were good people in the original time and space. According to statistics, Steven Spielberg and Harvey Weinstein, the Hollywood celebrities who were most appreciated at the Oscar ceremony, were only 30 or 40 years old Times.

Naturally, the Golden Globes can't be compared with the Oscars. However, with the momentum of tonight, Simon thinks that it won't be many years before he can set a record of the number of times he is appreciated at various award ceremonies.

Simon doesn't want to be everywhere at all. He prefers to be the "behind the scenes".

Janet was very clear about her man's mind and said, "you can tell doechman about the party later."

On the stage, Julia Roberts finished her speech, and the host warmed up for a moment, and then began the award of best actor in drama.

Kevin Costner has won the Golden Globe Award for best director. However, his performance in dance with the wolf is not so bright, and he lost to Jeremy Irons, who has excellent performance in reversal of fate.

Jeremy Irons is the actor of housekeeper Alfred in the big version of Batman.

Not surprisingly, Jeremy Irons will win this year's Best Actor Oscar. This middle-aged male star from England in his early 40s has excellent acting skills, but his luck is not good. Since he entered Hollywood in the 1980s, several commercial films in succession have not been successful at the box office.

Hollywood is very superstitious.

After several successive box office failures, it is often difficult for actors to get high-quality projects from the studio. With less and less resources, it is more and more difficult to turn over.

After the best actor in the plot, the last best film in the plot follows.

"Dancing with the wolf" won the best picture award in the drama category, beating "good guy", "intersection of life", "Godfather 3" and "reversal of fate".

According to statistics, among all the 13 film awards with high attention in this year's Golden Globe Awards, only Denise Entertainment's films won 6. They are the best film in the plot category of dancing with the wolf, the best director of Kevin Costner, the best heroine in the plot category of Susan Sarandon, the best heroine in the musical comedy category of Julia Roberts, and the best director in the plot category of dancing with the wolf Best screenwriter of "dancing together" and best supporting actress of UBI Goldberg.

Nearly half of the awards are in the limelight.

Although it was a celebration party of danielis entertainment, after the award ceremony, many stars were invited to go to Malibu danielis studio.

Danelis Entertainment's post Oscar Party has been reserved by Gucci, and the post Golden Globe celebration party is under the name of igritte.

The success of westero system in the Internet industry means not only AOL's free trial and igray's huge investment in content, but also spare no effort in advertising.

Igritte has not only put advertisements on TV networks and various paper media platforms, but also has a spokesperson. Sandra Bullock, as a star user of igritte blog and a personal relationship with Simon, easily grabbed the job. With a three-year endorsement period, she impolitely took away $5 million a year.Simon and Janet leave the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel and go to palisade's mansion to change Janet's clothes. Then they go to Denise studios.

After taking a picture in front of the photo wall with danielis and igritte's trademark, I entered the party hall of the activity center of the film city, which was already overcrowded.

As soon as Simon and his wife entered the party hall, Kevin Costner and Michael Blake, the screenwriter of dance with the wolf, came to say hello.

Listening to Michael Blake's words, Janet expressed her joy of winning the award and her gratitude to Simon. She inadvertently threw a "I guess right" look at her man.

Simon certainly doesn't care that Michael Blake forgot to thank himself for the details when he won the prize. If he didn't even have this kind of magnanimity, he would not have to live, so he made a few words of comfort.

When Kevin Costner and Michael Blake left, Simon asked people to call on the director of gaomen film, Ella doechman: "well, you say hello to the PR of the nominees, and don't thank me for the next Oscars, including the awards ceremonies."

But Ella doechman wondered, "Simon, what's the problem?"

Simon shook his head and said with a smile, "no, that's what I just meant. I don't want to have Simon westero's name all over the awards ceremony in the future. It makes people feel like I'm manipulating the awards. "

Ella doechman finally nodded and said, "I see."

After explaining this, Simon casually changed the topic and asked, "so, how's the shooting progress of farewell to the piano?"

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

When Ella doechman is sent away, the female assistant quietly appears beside Simon and accompanies him in the crowd for a moment. Amy Pascal comes with another guest, but Steven Spielberg.

Simon smiles, shakes hands with Spielberg and says, "good evening, Steven."

Spielberg also smiles and shakes hands with Simon, but there are 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 was a contract director of Universal Pictures at that time. After he became famous with great white shark, his original long-term contract was changed into several film contracts. Up to now, he still owes universal three film contracts.

Because of the promotion in those years, Spielberg and the two persons in charge of MCA, Lu wassalman and Sid schinberg, are very close. At present, danilisi Entertainment's acquisition of MCA has been confirmed. Lu wassalman and Sid schinberg were kicked out of MCA by Simon westero, which makes Spielberg feel more mixed.

However, the contract should be observed.

Amy Pascal has recently been discussing with Spielberg about his next film, a science fiction adaptation called Jurassic Park. If Spielberg wants to, the project can be put under the name of Universal Pictures. It will be ready this year, and shooting will start early next year. The schedule is set for the end of 1992.

Last year's blockbuster "Captain Hawk", which worked with Colombia, has been completed and is now in the post production stage.

Although the project is well held by Colombia, Spielberg has already faintly felt that the film is likely to be a disaster, a personal Waterloo, and he is exhausted for this.

Therefore, after receiving danilisi Entertainment's proposal, Spielberg said that he would consider it carefully even if he showed some instinctive resistance to Simon westero. After all, the box office of dannilis entertainment has always been very secure.

Amy Pascal also promised him that danelis entertainment would support the production of Schindler's list, the movie he had been brewing to recreate the Holocaust during World War II, as long as Jurassic Park was taken over.

When Spielberg walked away, Simon asked Amy, "how was the conversation?"

"Steven agreed, but we still have to talk to owitz about the pay." Amy said, adding: "Steven's previous film contracts are all full channel profit sharing, just like Captain hawk's 20% full channel profit sharing, owitz still tends to this. I have contacted owitz several times. He is a little loose and agrees to accept a similar box office sharing agreement with John Hughes. However, owitz wants about $10 million for Steven's basic film payment. "

Denise entertainment and John Hughes signed two film contracts at the beginning. The salary plan is $5 million base salary plus 10% of the local box office share. Such an agreement is actually very generous, and it can also let the filmmakers get their due remuneration in a relatively short period of time.

In the original time and space, the Jurassic Park contract signed by Spielberg was a basic salary plus 20% Omni channel share.Because of the global sales of Jurassic Park, Spielberg only took $250 million from the first Jurassic Park.

After Panasonic acquired MCA, it was clear that it had such a big sale as Jurassic Park, but it still sold MCA to sigram a few years later. A large part of the reason is that the film lost money, and almost all the losses had to be borne by Panasonic, but the film made money, especially for projects like Jurassic Park, most of the profits were taken by Hollywood filmmakers Let's go. Matsushita can only be the big culprit in any way.

Simon once considered directing Jurassic Park in person. Now, obviously, he doesn't have the time. It's very appropriate for him to hand over the project to the original team.

Of course, this Omni channel share contract will not be considered, but gives a base salary plus box office share agreement similar to that of John Hughes.

If "Jurassic Park" can still get the super high box office in the original time and space, according to Simon's agreement, Spielberg's personal income can still reach US $40 million to US $50 million, which is, of course, a sky high price. However, Simon thinks it's worth the money. A director who can create a global box office of $1 billion is definitely worth the price.

By comparison, the $250 million in the original space-time exceeded Simon's limit.

Simon didn't comment too much on owitz's basic salary. He just nodded and let Amy continue to talk. Instead, he asked, "what about Schindler's list?"

"Steven has always had some concerns. He doesn't know how to show some emotional turns in the film, but he's very grateful to you for supporting the film."

Amy said so with some different meaning on her face.

"Schindler's list" has been popular in Hollywood since the 1980s. It has been delayed for so many years. The original author of the film, Thomas kennelli, often calls Spielberg to complain about whether he can see the project on the big screen before he dies. He is very old.

In the final analysis, Schindler's list, in the eyes of many people, has no commercial potential at all. It is just a work witnessing Jewish history. Although Hollywood Jews are united, they will not rashly invest in such a work that is doomed to be impossible to make money.

Amy is also Jewish.

In Amy's opinion, Simon's proposal to support Schindler's list project at the time when Denise entertainment is about to annex MCA is likely to express an attitude to the Jewish community in Hollywood and relieve the pressure brought by his growing power in Hollywood.

In fact, Simon does have that in mind.

Because of the living environment in his previous life, Simon was not very sensitive to race.

However, after several years of rebirth, he has to face up to this problem.

The Jewish power in Hollywood is really strong, or the Jewish power in the whole United States is very strong.

And it's impossible to change that.

From the beginning of World War II, Jews launched a large number of young people to participate in that war. Up to now, the Jewish military system in the United States also controls a strong power. If the anti Semitic phenomenon like that of Germany ever happened in the United States, the result is likely to be a civil war.

Simon is not afraid of rejecting Jews, and certainly does not want this to happen the other way around.

Therefore, after the acquisition of MCA, shooting "Schindler's list" can also be regarded as a trend. Moreover, the memory of "Schindler's list", in fact, is very profitable.
