Hollywood New Century

Simon Pike and Nicole Kidman are walking out of the Palace of the Films after attending the unremarkable closing ceremony of the 61st Cannes Film Festival.

"Well, what's wrong?" Nicole Kidman asked when Simon stopped.

Simon stopped because he had spotted Sharon Stone who was being interviewed, and a bad feeling arose immediately.

"Damn it!" Simon muttered in his heart, this guy who wanted to die, he really forgot.

At this moment, the old-fashioned Sharon Stone was being interviewed by reporters with a smile, unaware that Simon, who was not far from him, was watching him.

"Ms. Stone, what do you think of the earthquake that occurred in China two weeks ago?" the reporter asked a sad topic.

"Oh, I know this, you know? It's a funny thing. I don't like the way they treat people, it might be retribution!" Sharon Stone said with a grim smile.

Simon on the side opened his mouth wide, and the reporters around also quickly wrote it down. It was such an explosive news.

Nicole Kidman was also interviewed by reporters and didn't hear anything, but Simon Pike kept paying attention to Sharon Stone's side, his face changed and changed, a hellish look.

A reporter soon discovered the situation and immediately came to ask: "Mr. Pike, what do you think of Ms. Sharon Stone's attitude towards the earthquake that happened in China just now?"

"What do you think?" Simon looked at Sharon Stone over there, his ugly face was still calm, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said seriously:

"The Wenchuan earthquake claimed nearly 70,000 lives, injured more than 300,000 people, and nearly 20,000 people were missing. How could such a big natural disaster be said to be interesting?"

"This kind of person who doesn't respect life actually lives under the same sky as me, I feel ashamed;"

"The Cannes Film Festival invites such a person, and it is estimated that he will regret it. It is even more sad that such a person exists in Hollywood!"

After Simon finished speaking, he left the interview area without looking back. He was in a bad mood and almost went up and slapped the guy twice.

One stone caused a thousand waves, and Sharon Stone's remarks quickly aroused widespread media discussion. Most of the media criticized her attitude, especially the Chinese circles, of course, strongly resisted.

Cannes Film Festival President Gilles Jacobs spoke to the media the next day: "Ms. Sharon Stone's remarks are completely wrong, and the widespread criticism is completely self-inflicted."

The head of public relations for Dior China also stated: "Dior absolutely disagrees with Sharon Stone's remarks. The French headquarters attaches great importance to this incident, and will communicate with Sharon Stone himself as soon as possible, and make a public statement and deal with it seriously as soon as possible! "

On the balcony of the Esplanade Resort Hotel, Simon leaned on a chair and watched the warm sandy beach not far away. Nicole Kidman came over with two glasses of wine and handed Simon a glass.

"I didn't expect such a discordant scene at the Cannes Film Festival," Nicole Kidman said, of course Sharon Stone's inappropriate remarks.

"Heh, ex-stars always like to do outrageous things or say outrageous remarks to attract people's attention, she is courting her own death!" Simon said contemptuously.

"Hey, you were interviewed yesterday, and your opinion on Sharon Stone is also very serious. The film anti-AIDS fundraising dinner that was an important dinner at the Cannes Film Festival before has also changed the host of the dinner," Nicole said. Kidman didn't know that Simon was so angry, but Sharon Stone made Simon unhappy, and the consequences were still very serious.

After the identity is different, Simon can indeed determine the future of many entertainers. The top of the pyramid is power.

"The Cannes Film Festival is not important to major Hollywood studios, let alone a dinner party at the film festival?" How many dinner parties are there during the Cannes Film Festival, the more influential the star, the greater the consequences, and the consequences of offending a big man knew.

Nicole Kidman went to the "Movies Against AIDS" charity dinner last night and guest-starred as the host of the charity dinner, replacing Sharon Stone.

"She doesn't have any resources anyway. In this situation, it offends the entire Chinese market. It's really unusual," Nicole Kidman said, completely incomprehensible.

Even Paris Hilton would not say how a country is, after all, any country is great.

"Forget it, it's just my own sin," Simon took a sip of wine and asked again, "Has the Weinstein Films musical "Nine" started filming?"

Nicole Kidman nodded. In fact, it was a pity that Rob Marshall, the director of the musical "Nine", had directed "Chicago" before.

Daniel Day-Lewis, Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard, Judi Dench, Sophia Loren are all good actors!

"Who's the character Harvey is going to give you now?" Simon asked.

"Catherine Zeta-Jones, there were not many scenes in that role originally. Catherine Zeta-Jones wanted the director to add more scenes, but the director did not agree, and finally persuaded Catherine Zeta-Jones!" Nicole Kidman paid attention to that The movie, after all, is a big production with a budget of $90 million.

"Song and dance? It's difficult, "Chicago" is just a flashback, and Weinstein Pictures still wants to win?" Simon smiled. Song and dance are suitable for awards, and commercial success is difficult. After the millennium, "Chicago" In 2002, another "Mamma Mia! "It was also taken down by myself.

"Well, Simon, your vision is not wrong, and I agree with it," Nicole Kidman's current career is very dangerous, "Weakness" is a movie of a turnaround and must be taken seriously.

Simon nodded and reminded: "The "Sunshine Cleaning", you are the producer, you should participate more, the movie will be released in a few months, and it is beneficial to participate more in post-production, marketing strategy, etc., It's always good to lean in the direction of the producer."

Nicole Kidman nodded, understanding what Simon meant, the older the actress, the fewer resources.

"I understand, I have done a lot of "Sunshine Cleaning" myself. Now Huaying Production Company has a partner, and I found that some good scripts will also be developed," Nicole said, looking at Simon,

"I'll definitely need your support at that time. I'm not too ambitious, that is to say, I mainly focus on independent literary and artistic films, and now I'm also hanging under your Xinghai Qixing Film Company!"

"Yes, there will be support from Venus Pictures at that time," Simon set up Venus Pictures to do this. Independent films need distribution support, and Venus Pictures can give her some green lights in the future!
