Hollywood New Century

Chapter 119: also ambitious

In the theater, the screening of "Fantastic Four 2" was coming to an end, and Simon returned to his seat.

"What's the matter, did you talk about something important?" Emily Blunt asked after seeing Simon sitting down.

"Almost, it's okay!" Simon said, patting the back of Emily Blunt's hand lightly.

Still here, independent film companies have mostly ended up clinging to big distributors, or waiting to be recruited for lack of funds; or a few struggling with genre films.

Simon has been rushing for time in his heart. Next year will be when they can't take care of themselves. It'll be good to survive this period of time.

"Fantastic Four: The Silver Surfer" is a lot worse, the most popular is undoubtedly the invisible woman played by Jessica Alba, but in the sequel, Jessica Alba's image is a waste .

As soon as the premiere was over, Simon Pike and Emily Blunt left the theater, and of course there was no interest in the reception after that.

After returning home, Simon sat on the sofa and meditated. Emily Blunt sat down, put Simon's head on her lap, and massaged his head.

"When you came back, you didn't seem to be in high spirits, what happened?" Emily asked.

"It's nothing," Simon replied with closed eyes, "I'm just a little tired. In 2004, I entered this circle. I have achieved something from a little guy at the bottom who can be arbitrarily called by others. In the future, I will There are more thorns!"

"I don't know about the high-level things in Hollywood, but Simon, you are amazing now. Several consecutive films produced by Xinghai Pictures are big hits. Your name is very loud now," Emily Brown said. Special advice said.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, "Child Abuse Suspect" and "Sunshine Cleaning" are both feature films, they should be good, then you should prepare these two scripts," Simon said and stood up.

Walking to the balcony, looking at the brilliantly lit Los Angeles, my heart is full of fighting spirit, what about News Corporation? Lionsgate can make a way out of the six cracks, not to mention Xinghai Entertainment, which owns Marvel.

Nicole Kidman sits on the sofa reading the script for "Sunshine Wash" in the offices of Flower and Shadow Productions in Burbank.

"Xinghai Pictures is not interested? Or is Simon not interested?" Nicole Kidman was still a little surprised that Simon Parker actually called and said that he had a project to introduce to himself.

Emily Blunt sat opposite, shook her head cautiously, and said, "Xinghai Pictures currently has a lot of projects!"

"Oh, it's a bit too much, and now Xinghai Pictures is indeed in some trouble," Nicole Kidman certainly knew about the recent rumors about the release of Xinghai Pictures' films.

"Okay, find a time, I want to meet this director, let's chat," Nicole Kidman said, looking at Emily Blunt in front of him, and Simon Parker was confused. Chu, it is indeed a bit beautiful.

"Really? But the publisher hasn't been found yet?" Emily Blunt said with some concern.

"It doesn't matter, we can develop it first and find a distributor slowly. It's not good. We can go to various independent film festivals when the time comes." Nicole Kidman didn't care much, not only because of Simon Parker's The vision has always been very accurate, and it should not recommend a failed movie.

The most important thing is that Nicole Kidman knows that Xinghai Pictures will definitely set up its own distribution network. Either next year or the year after, the films he develops will always be released, right?

It is not a big problem that this "Sunshine Cleaning" could not be found for distribution at the time, and it will be the same when it is handed over to Xinghai Pictures for distribution.

Your own Huaying producer only needs to invest 3 million US dollars, and you can participate in the film production well. Of course, if the director needs to, he can also make a cameo appearance in the movie.

"Okay, let's go have a meal together, it's noon," Nicole Kidman said, looking at her watch and standing up.

"Ah!" Emily Blunt was a little flattered, but got up anyway.

"Well, it's a friend anyway, and Simon is also very optimistic about you. If you have anything in the future, you can come to me," Nicole Kidman said as she walked.

Emily Blunt kept nodding beside Nicole Kidman.

At the headquarters of Xinghai Entertainment, Simon was sitting on the sofa drinking tea. Nina Jacobson frowned and said, "If the Big Six regards us as a competitor, it is indeed a bad thing."

"They all have theater resources, and they really tear up their faces to deal with us. It is indeed an unsolvable problem," Simon worried.

"No, that won't happen. As long as we don't conflict with them, they won't be so aggressive. The theater chain has to make money. Even in some good schedules, we won't be able to win many theaters," Nina said. Jacobson explained that, after all, the new publishers can provide too little source, of course, can not be compared with a few established publishers.

"Oh, forget it, I don't want to stay in Los Angeles anymore, the company's affairs are left to you, the current project will go ahead as usual, and the staffing of the distribution department will also be carried out," Simon Parker's last retreat is to unite Released together at MGM, the way Weinstein Studios is now.

"What? Don't want to deal with the high-level executives of those blockbusters?" Nina Jacobson smiled. The global box office of "Spartan 300" has exceeded 400 million US dollars. Xinghai Entertainment is now a few major producers. The sweet pastry in the eyes of the factory, they all want to take it for their own use!

Simon frowned, and said with some displeasure: "Fortunately, it's not a listed company, otherwise I really can't stand them!"

The business has reached that point, and the grasp of people's hearts is too accurate, and the conditions offered are indeed attractive.

Nina Jacobson nodded and explained: "That's right, if we don't rely on big publishers, we will still face great difficulties, and the label effect also needs a foundation!"

"Don't worry, we are a capitalist country, independent filmmakers can still be the largest, and we can also develop upstream and downstream resources, as long as we have established the North American distribution network first, and then we will enter overseas English-speaking areas, Spanish-speaking areas, and Asia. The Pan-Greater Chinese Cultural Region is the main market there, and China and RB are the main markets.” Simon is also ambitious, and now he only needs to take the first step of distribution.

Nina Jacobson nodded, wondering if Simon had considered MPAA or not. The association has preferential treatment for movie ratings among its members. For production companies that are not members of the association, MPAA is also a stumbling block!
