The day after the sixth child of the Westeros family was born, Janet also came to Boston.
Having had several contacts in advance, Ulyanna Meretskova was obviously a little trembling when facing Janet.
Ulyanna discovered very early that she was somewhat able to handle Simon Westeros with her beauty and intelligence as the opposite sex. However, for Janet Westeros, although she seems to be more talkative on the surface, she instinctively realizes that once she touches certain red lines that she should not touch, the consequences for this woman will be very serious.
Therefore, since the first meeting, I have never had any thoughts of stealing men.
After all, the child was just born, and Simon planned to stay for a few more days. Seeing that Ulyanna was so cautious in front of Janet that she almost stopped breastfeeding, he had to leave early on Friday, driving Janet back to Los Angeles while he went New York.
Or visiting other pregnant women.
Simon was on the East Coast for the past few days. On Wednesday, May 21, Daenerys Entertainment's first blockbuster movie of the 1997 summer season, "Face/Off," held its premiere in Los Angeles.
The director of the new version of "Face/Off" is still John Wu, and the two male protagonists have been replaced by the combination of John Travolta and Brad Pitt from the original John Travolta and Nicolas Cage.
Not to mention Travolta, Brad Pitt has become widely famous around the world with his role as 'Superman' in recent years, and this time he participated in 'The Death of Superman' in Batman Vs. The first blockbuster movie, its popularity far exceeds that of Cage. As the release date of "Face" approaches, a large number of Superman or Pitt fans on online platforms are discussing watching this film as soon as possible.
The previous "Face/Off" was before "Mission: Impossible 2", and this time after "Mission: Impossible 2", Wu Baige's popularity was at its peak.
Therefore, the overall momentum of this project is far greater than before.
On the other hand, compared with the original version of "Face/Off", the new version of the film still has a budget of US$100 million, even though the salaries of the two male protagonists are not too high.
Mainly for big scenes and big special effects.
Although "Face" was well-received, the global box office was only over 200 million, and the production budget of 90 million US dollars could only be considered as just repayment.
The reason is that this film is still a traditional Hollywood action movie routine.
Simon deliberately upgraded the action scenes this time, basically following the specifications of the "Mission: Impossible" series, instead of the original punching and kicking fights. Especially at the end of the film, the showdown between the two protagonists uses He followed the routine of exploding shellfish and directly blew up a 10,000-ton used oil tanker during the filming.
After Wednesday's premiere, the word-of-mouth ban was lifted the next day, and the comprehensive media score reached a classic level of 9.2, setting a new high for a film directed by John Wu in Hollywood.
Obviously to avoid "Face", only one medium-budget romance film "Crazy About You" starring Meg Ryan, starring Meg Ryan, was released during the same period this week, which could not pose a threat to "Face" at all. Coupled with the strong promotion of Daenerys Entertainment and the large scale of 3543 opening screens, it can be said that the right time, place and people are all available.
Officially released, the new version of "Face" did not disappoint Daenerys Entertainment at the box office.
On its first day of release, including the midnight show, the film successfully earned a box office of US$17.62 million. With such a start, it is conservatively estimated that it can reach more than US$70 million in the first week, which is comparable to the same period of last year's "Mission: Impossible 2".
France, Cannes.
Time flies and comes to Sunday, May 25th.
The 50th Cannes Film Festival has officially concluded.
As for the awarding of this year's awards, according to the news privately inquired by Daenerys' entertainment team, it can be said to be exciting.
The current Cannes jury chairperson, Isabelle Adjani, is a well-known actress with a very unique personality. This time during the awards stage, she abandoned the two previous rules of Cannes, either voting, or delineating outstanding films to discuss the awards together. Instead, Watch and discuss each movie one by one.
He was almost passed over by Italian leftist director Nanni Moretti.
Instigated by Nanni Moretti, Adjani even voluntarily gave up her privileges as the chairman of the jury and advocated equality for everyone.
The results can be imagined.
You need to know how privileged the Cannes jury is. This can be seen when you think about "Fahrenheit 911" in its original time and space.
Quentin, who was Weinstein's close friend at the time, served as the chairman of the jury and directly promoted this documentary to the Palme d'Or at Cannes, which in turn allowed this low-cost documentary with an investment of US$6 million to sell US$220 million at the global box office. , earn an explosion.
Adjani's various tricks led to Nanni Moretti almost succeeding and pushing an Iranian film "Taste of Cherry" that he liked but was not good enough to win the Palme d'Or.
In the end, Daenerys Entertainment's public relations team secretly intervened, allowing the judges here to put things on track and awaken Adjani to return to the traditional voting rules for award decisions.
Seeing that his efforts were about to go to waste, Nanni Moretti once again lobbied Adjani to install a double-yolk egg. Unfortunately, Daenerys Entertainment had already taken control of the situation in advance, and Adjani also reacted and did not compromise.
Final vote.
Nanni Moretti's favorite "Taste of Cherry" was eliminated without winning any awards, while Adjani herself actually preferred Canadian director Ego, whose rights were privately bought by Daenerys Entertainment. Yang's new film "Unexpected Spring" also failed to win, while "The Six Strongest Men" won.
In addition, "The Girl Who Moved," also from Daenerys Entertainment, broke out with a double yolk egg, and Mia Kirschner and Angelina Jolie shared the best actress award.
It can be called another big win for Daenerys Entertainment in Cannes.
Although, even Simon felt that the double-yolked egg in "The Girl Who Moved Souls" was a bit too much, but history always belongs to the winner.
Even if Adjani made all kinds of complaints public in an interview later, and Nanni Moretti was also very angry, it was impossible to reverse anything. After all, there are controversies in every Cannes. As for public relations, everyone is in charge. Playing the game within the rules, if you really want to expose it, everyone will look bad.
On the other hand, after last Saturday's Cannes premiere, most of the main creators of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" have left, but Li Youhu and Teacher Yu stayed until the end.
It’s a pity that I couldn’t make it to the closing ceremony, so I still visited various places.
Seeing the closing of the film festival, the two women summed it up and found that Daenerys Entertainment was the biggest winner. They felt that they had seen through the truth, and at the same time they felt proud.
After all, it involves a certain man.
Their men.
Now that everything has settled, the two set off back to China the next day. They will not rush to the United States until the release of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in July to participate in the film's promotion.
However, there were still some minor surprises.
This time, another woman was arranged to return to China on their Gulfstream V, named Mira Sorvino.
After some small talk, I learned that the actress was going to China to play a role in "Love Call Transfer".
This is... what a coincidence.
Because the two women also knew that one of the judges at Cannes this year happened to be named Mira Sorvino, so they were obviously the same person.
The Cannes Film Festival has just ended, and this woman is going to China to participate in a project that is secretly led by someone. There is obviously a story behind it.
However, the two of them couldn't talk much about these things.
Departing on the afternoon of Monday, May 26, the Gulfstream V arrived in China on Tuesday morning.
Here, the team of the Westeros family came to pick up the plane. What made the two women a little more balanced was that the very 'breasted' Mira Sorvino was not with them. Although, it seemed that she was also picked up by the Wei family. Teams of waitresses pick up, but it's always better as long as they're not together.
Returning to the courtyard house in Maoer Hutong, the two of them discovered that Chen Qing was also there.
Of course, there are also Zhu Momo and Mo Wuling who live here.
They got along pretty well in private, so Li Youhu knew that Zhu Momo was having a hard time recently.
It seems that some time ago, the 96-level acting class of China National Theater was criticized by the whole school for being impetuous in the freshman year. Zhu Momo, an auditor, was also involved. The head teacher of Class 96, Teacher Chang, had a phone call with Zhu Momo’s mother. Then Zhu Momo's mother gave a strict order after giving her daughter and sister a lesson. Whatever happened to the students of Class 96, Zhu Momo would do the same.
Not only professional courses, but also cultural courses must be taken together.
Basically, he was converted from an auditor to a full-time student.
Zhu Momo, a bad student, can barely cope with professional classes, and cultural classes are almost life-threatening. However, her mother's orders are hard to resist. Recently, she can be said to have been making up for classes day and night.
Horrible.
According to what Zhu Momo complained about when she saw Li Youhu and Teacher Yu at dinner, she had lost a few pounds recently from her already skinny figure.
This made Li Youhu completely put an end to the idea of going to China Theater Academy or Beijing Film Academy to study formally.
Anyway, my career is now on the right track.
After a night's rest, Li Youhu rushed to Jinshu Media's headquarters next to Beijing Normal University early on Wednesday morning. He happened to be on the same road with Chen Qing. Although Li Youhu was not very happy with Chen Qing because of some gossip from Wei Cancha and the others. I was a little frightened, and seeing that the girl seemed to be in a low mood today, I became even more uneasy, but I couldn't stop talking temporarily.
Fortunately, there was no talking all the way.
After arriving at the company, Li Youhu went to her agent Guan Yinan to discuss her filming arrangements for her role in "Love Call Transfer" and inquire about the latest gossip.
Chen Qing met up with Wu Shanlin and rushed to Radio and Television together.
In an office of the Radio and Television Yamen near Fuxingmen, two people arrived and waited for more than ten minutes before meeting a certain speaking leader.
bad news.
A document about the Heroes project.
Everything was going well some time ago, but unexpectedly something unexpected happened and it was rejected.
"Xiao Chen, Xiao Wu, everyone has studied several projects of Jinshu. They are indeed very good, especially "Heroes", which is very helpful for promoting Chinese culture. There is also Mr. Westeros, which we Not to beat around the bush, opening up is a general trend. The Chinese film industry has reached a point where it cannot survive without reform. Sooner or later, the results will be the same in a few years. In short, the above originally agreed, but some people are too conservative and even put some The old comrades brought it up and thought our approach was inappropriate, and this is the result."
Chen Qing and Wu Shanlin were sitting behind the desk like primary school students, without any expression of dissatisfaction on their faces. They waited patiently for the boss in front of them to finish speaking before Chen Qing said: "So, leader, regarding "Heroes", what do we do here? Okay, preparations have already started, do you need to pause?"
"Of course not, but the plan you originally expected, which is to give up mainland copyrights so that "Hero" can receive the same treatment as domestic films, is definitely not feasible."
Wu Shanlin, who had already become the head of Jinshu at the age of 32, was a little overwhelmed: "Leader, what do you think we should do?"
There was still some resentment in this tone.
Fortunately, the boss didn't mind. He waved his hand and said: "For this, you still have to submit your own plan and we will consider it again. Of course, because the last proposal failed to pass, you can only complete this within the existing rules. project."
After talking like this for more than ten minutes, Chen Qing and Wu Shanlin left the Radio and Television Yamen together.
On the way back to Jinshu headquarters, Wu Shanlin got into Chen Qing's car. However, in order to avoid danger, he just sat in the passenger seat and asked Chen Qing behind him: "What should we do now? "Hero" is scheduled to start filming in August. Isn’t it that far away from now?”
Chen Qing did not answer, signaled Wu Shanlin to be silent, took out a satellite phone that was obviously different from ordinary mobile phones, and skillfully dialed a series of numbers.
The phone was connected, a few words were exchanged, and it was transferred to Simon after a moment.
He simply reported what happened just now, and then said: "So, boss, what should we do now?"
During this conversation, Chen Qing deliberately used English. Although Wu Shanlin was also a top student, unfortunately he was not good at foreign languages. After listening to a few words, he half understood, so he simply turned around and sat down, waiting for the result.
In the carriage.
Chen Qing kept discussing with the other party until she returned to Jinshu headquarters and then hung up the phone.
After getting out of the car, the two entered the office building together, and were greeted by several other Jinshu executives and Zhang Guoshi, who had also just returned from the filming location in Gansu.
Facing the questioning looks of everyone, Chen Qing's expression was much better than before. She led everyone to a conference room and said, "I talked with the boss, and this movie will be completely made in China."
When Chen Qing said this, everyone was a little anxious.
Does switching to completely domestic production mean that Daenerys Entertainment will not pay any money
30 million US dollars, equivalent to 250 million, domestic... who can afford this money
Chen Qing looked at everyone's surprised expressions, showed a meaningful smile, and said: "The boss just told me some of the routines of German capital investing in Hollywood movies. Well, I won't talk to you about these. If you want to know more, go and find out by yourself. Collect information. To put it simply, Daenerys Entertainment will no longer participate in the investment of "Heroes", but someone will give Jinshu a loan to produce the film. In addition, Daenerys Entertainment will contribute funds. Purchase the omni-channel overseas rights to the film.”
