Hollywood New Century
Chapter 116: football desert
At night, in the bathroom, Simon Pike and Emily Blunt were both lying in the bathtub and soaking in a bath, very relaxed.
Feeling the nephrite in his arms, Simon was a little bit eager to move again. Emily Blunt said, "Simon, do you seem to like English football?"
"Well, yes, I don't really like American football (rugby)," Simon said, but if he had the chance, he would definitely buy one.
"David Beckham is coming to LA Galaxy, you know? He'll come to America after the season," said Emily Blunt, who, as a British, is of course familiar with the former captain of the national team .
"I know, at the beginning of this year, it was announced that David Beckham would join the Los Angeles Galaxy in the summer. It was quite shocking, with a 5-year contract and an annual salary of $3 million!" Of course Simon knows, and Real Madrid only offers a 2-year contract, 1500 million euros.
However, on the Los Angeles Galaxy side, Beckham completely owns his own portrait rights, which is the big income. Clubs in Europe all own at least half of the portrait rights of top superstars!
"Alas, many British people don't want to believe it, they are very angry. They lost the World Cup in 2006, and now the UK did not play well in the Euro 2008 qualifiers. David Beckham is actually far away from the mainstream league. America!" Emily Blunt is also full of incomprehension, for money?
"Oh, although the United States is a football desert, it's not bad. David Beckham is 32. He doesn't take the opportunity to make money? His wife Victoria is very interested in Los Angeles." Simon smiled, the choice is normal!
"David Beckham and his wife seem to have a good relationship with Tom Cruise. The newspaper said that Tom Cruise also suggested David Beckham to come to the United States," Emily Blunt said helplessly.
"Okay, you know the level of the England national team. It's the same with or without David Beckham," Simon said, pinching the girl's chest and smiling:
"I'm still very interested in the Premier League. I'll buy a Premier League team like the Glazers at that time!"
"Really?" Emily Blunt became interested, turned her head to look at Simon, and said excitedly:
"The Premier League football clubs don't seem to be very cheap! But in the past two years, several football teams seem to have changed owners," Emily Blunt said.
"Hey, I'm also paying attention. In July last year, the Russian rich man Alexander Gaidamark bought the Premier League team Portsmouth;"
"Then, in August 2006, American Randy Lerner took over the club with a 90% stake in Aston Villa;"
"In November 2006, an Icelandic consortium headed by Igort Magnussen bought West Ham;"
"Americans George Gillett and Tom Hicks bought Liverpool from David Moores in February;"
"Last month, Thailand's wealthy former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra bought Manchester City;"
"Michael Ashley's takeover of Newcastle United is just short of signing."
Simon was so familiar that Emily Blunt's eyes widened and she said in surprise: "It seems that you are really ready to enter the Premier League?"
"Of course, I'm interested in clubs in the big market," Simon said, extending his finger and continuing:
"London, Birmingham, Manchester are all okay!"
"Really, but I think clubs in other cities are fine too, but didn't you say you want to run an NBA team?" Emily Blunt asked again.
"You have to have everything. When you have money in the future, you have to do something you like," Simon felt that not only had a basketball team, a football team, but also a rugby team, it was valuable!
"Okay," Emily Browne nodded, suddenly thinking of something and then said:
"Simon, I met Kate Beckinsale in the UK and she appreciates the chance you gave her the role of Pepper in Iron Man!"
"Well, the shooting time of "Iron Man" is a little long, and it is estimated that the film will not be closed until October. Kate Beckinsale is also good and suitable," Simon felt that the beauty with Eastern and Western styles was not very lucky. The two blockbusters "Pearl Harbor" and "Van Helsing" failed, and now they can only mix in genre films.
After the two bathed, Emily Blunt handed Simon another script, then sat in Simon's arms and said, "This is a script I received, I think it's good, how about you? ?"
"Script?" Simon said and opened it, "Sunshine Cleaning".
The film tells the story of a single mom and her extraordinarily lazy and escapist sister who simultaneously find an unexpectedly eccentric way to help both of them improve their less-than-ideal living conditions.
"American-style families realize their dreams. There are some meanings of "Little Miss Sunshine", but they are also very different." Simon read the script. It is a very ordinary literary film, and the investment should not be large.
"Are you older sister or younger sister?" Simon asked again.
"My sister is Amy Adams. The filmmaker is still looking for a distributor to invest. The budget is $5 million. The producer has raised $2 million. Do you need another $3 million to invest?"
"$5 million? Don't you get paid? 5 million is almost enough for filming. Why don't you devote yourself to art!" Simon said and smiled.
"The director told the agent that Amy Adams and I were just getting paid as a regular staff member, a little token," explained Emily Blunt.
"It turns out that, yes, although the cost of the film is not high, but there is no distributor, it is a pure loss. Otherwise, you will have to go to various independent film festivals to try your luck after the film is finished," Simon said after thinking for a while, and continued:
"Go to Nicole Kidman, her flower and shadow production company is interested in this kind of film, and she also has experience in the production of "Little Miss Sunshine", the release can let her find a way, before she asked me if I had anything project."
"Is it okay? I'll go look for it?" Emily was a little surprised, she just wanted to see if Simon was interested, and went to Nicole Kidman?
"Yeah, introduce the film director to Nicole Kidman, Nicole will be interested in this film, if you match up, maybe Nicole will make you a nominal filmmaker, too. It's not an experience!"
"Aren't you interested?"
"Xinghai Pictures has not released it now, and there are many projects at present. If you can wait a year or two and invest in the release, I will have no problem here," Simon said helplessly. From the script, "Sunshine Cleaning" There's definitely some money to be made, but not too much.
It would be nice to leave Nicole Kidman's Flower Shadow to work!
