Just before three o'clock, Girl A opened the door of her boss's office, and the first thing she saw was Miss Li, who was curled up in the man's arms with a rosy face.
When Her Royal Highness the Princess saw Alison coming in, she was obviously a little intentional and hostile. She turned to the man and said softly and coquettishly: "I don't want to wear shoes anymore."
Simon happened to pick up a pair of little feet of the girl in his arms, then put them down after hearing this: "Okay."
"I don't want to go to the meeting either."
"Oh, let's not go then. Let's sleep here for a while."
Her Royal Highness the Princess put her arms around Simon's neck and pressed forward: "I want you to accompany me."
"This is not possible," Simon refused this time: "I still have to work hard to make money to support you."
"I don't want you to raise me," Li Fuzhen said. He felt his body being picked up by the man. He turned around and landed on the leather chair that still had his body temperature. He subconsciously grabbed the man's sleeves with a pitiful expression. When he found that it was ineffective, he put it away. Mouth: "You are obviously still... hateful."
Simon straightened his clothes a little, lowered his head, grabbed the pretty face of the woman on the leather chair, and kissed her: "Be good."
After Simon left, Miss A closed the door. Miss Li, who was curled up on the large leather chair, helplessly raised one foot and lightly kicked the edge of the table twice, as if kicking someone.
After a while, he still cheered up and tried to get up.
He walked to the bathroom with bare feet, washed his face with cold water, waited for the blush to subside, found his bag, took out some tools and touched up his makeup, then found his pair of small high heels and put them on before going out.
Coming outside, there was a blonde girl sitting behind the assistant's desk, but Miss A was not there. There were two girls in uniforms with obvious Korean faces in the adjacent lounge. When they saw Li Fuzhen, the two girls immediately stood up and came to greet him.
Her Royal Highness the Princess, who regained her cool expression, glanced at her two assistants and turned to the blonde: "When will Simon come back?"
I just forgot to ask.
The blonde probably knew Li Fuzhen's identity, and the boss's work schedule today was not a secret. She looked down on the memo, looked up and said, "In an hour."
Miss Li also glanced over. The memo indicated that the man was attending a discussion meeting on 3D digital projection equipment. She had no intention of pursuing him. She planned to stay in North America for a few days and made an appointment to meet him again on the East Coast over the weekend.
Thanking the blonde, Miss Li was about to leave to attend a somewhat late advertising cooperation meeting. She glanced at her two assistants, remembered something, motioned to them, and said in Korean: "You can stay, later. Simon will use it.”
She had eaten just now, but the man was still hungry. In addition to his past experiences, Li Fuzhen felt that it was just right to keep these two vases.
There is an idea in my heart to please him.
Moreover, this can also prevent him from temporarily calling other random women, right
The two assistants were startled when they heard this, and then they both bowed their heads respectfully in agreement.
Finally, she told the blonde next to her, and Miss Li left alone. The blond assistant did not understand Korean and did not know what Li Fuzhen had just ordered. She did not refuse the other two colleagues to stay. Anyway, they were just outside and she would not let them into her boss's office rashly.
On the other side, Simon came to a small screening room on the lower floor of the same building, where someone was already waiting. In addition to several executives from its own theater business, there are also several Asian faces from Sony Japan.
The main reason why the meeting was chosen here was to first see the display effect of the 3D digital projection equipment that the two parties cooperated with and entrusted to Sony to develop.
Speaking of which, Simon has been paying attention to film projection technologies such as 3D and IMAX for a long time. IMAX theaters have now become a signature of Daenerys Entertainment’s global theater business. However, in terms of 3D, progress has been very slow in recent years.
The reasons are varied.
The first is that traditional film projection equipment cannot display 3D image effects very well.
Secondly, even if you don’t worry about the picture, the cost of 3D copying of film carriers is still a big problem.
For example, for a blockbuster film, only talking about the North American market, with a screen size of 3,000, and a copy price of about US$1,000, the expenditure for this part alone will be US$3 million. If the 3D model is used, it will be doubled to US$6 million.
This is not an expense that can be ignored.
In addition, IMAX, which Simon has always valued, will be even more troublesome if it uses 3D screening. The huge IMAX film copy itself requires a pickup truck to be loaded. If the 3D mode is used, the production, transportation and screening of the copy will be very cumbersome and prone to problems.
In comparison, if all of these can be converted into a 3.5-inch digital hard drive, not only will the cost be almost negligible, but other processes will also be much more stable.
As for the difference in image quality between digital and film, frankly speaking, at the current level of development, it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish it with the naked eye. Forcibly picking and distinguishing is more of a subconscious mental issue.
This is already the case in 2000, and the effects of subsequent digital projections will only be even better.
Therefore, even if it is not to promote 3D, converting film to digital is also a major trend in the entire cinema industry. What Simon does is to actively promote this trend so that he can get more dividends.
Let’s talk about technology research and development.
Speaking of digital photography and digital projection, in North America, the technological accumulation of companies such as Kodak is not much worse than that of the Japanese. The world's first digital camera was developed by Kodak. The problem is that, for example, Kodak, until it went bankrupt, stuck to its own film interests and completely missed the transition to the digital era.
Simon can only choose to cooperate with Japanese manufacturers.
Anyway, this is the last chapter.
Both content and channels are in the hands of Daenerys Entertainment. Although the Japanese have technology, like many Japanese cutting-edge technological fields, they can only deliver accessories and play supporting roles, and naturally they will not get much profit. , let alone take the initiative.
The meeting lasted for an hour. We first watched a 3D digital sample converted from "Jurassic Park" and continued to learn about various technical details, follow-up research directions, and even plans for cooperation with Daenerys' theaters. Simon finally asked about the development progress of the supporting 3D digital camera.
Time flies by.
The specific cooperation details were left to the person in charge of the theater business to continue negotiations with the Sony team. Simon left the small screening room and on the way back to the office upstairs, Girl A delivered a folder to her boss.
Because of Miss Li, Simon thought of the selection issue for the role of Laidi in "The Fast and the Furious". He had previously asked Alison to contact Linda Vargas, his royal casting manager, and send him a copy of the information.
Not in a hurry to open it, Simon walked into the elevator and asked Girl A next to him: "Are Jerry and the others interested?"
Jerry is Jerry Bruckheimer, the same producer of "The Fast and the Furious" who was personally selected by Simon, and can be regarded as an escort for Lin Yibin, who is not familiar with blockbuster production.
Girl A nodded: "There are a total of 26 candidates in this folder, but there are three that they are more inclined to, Angelina Jolie, Milla Jovovich and Charlize Theron."
For the role of Letty Ortiz, first of all, she must be an action actress, and all three candidates are a match; thirdly, she must be beautiful and wild, which is still a match; finally, her acting skills must be excellent enough, and all three women have rich acting experience. Likewise, match.
Simon thought about it a little and realized that any of the three women would be responsible enough.
So, since it has not been finalized, on the one hand, Simon has to make the decision himself, and on the other hand, there are obviously other problems.
Thinking like this, Simon said: "Charlize rules it out, I already have arrangements."
This is the new version of 'Black Widow' that I have decided on. I have already given Charlize Theron key roles in two blockbusters, "Chicago" and "Lord of the Rings". Although the Fast and Furious series does not conflict with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, If the 'South African Diamond' is praised too highly, the Marvel series will be a little difficult to handle.
Simon didn’t want to make the same mistake that Disney had made before, because he failed to bind in advance. As a result, Scarlett Johansson, who had a small role in the Marvel series, always received $20 million, which was second only to Robert Downey Jr. High salary.
After hearing her boss's instructions, Girl A didn't ask any more questions. She just nodded in agreement and continued: "As for the other Angelina and Mira, in terms of appearance, the latter is more in line with the boss's aesthetics. However, Jerry and Lin are more inclined to than the former."
Simon compared it in his mind again and nodded: "If it were me, I would choose the former."
Simon takes personal aesthetics very seriously. He doesn't want his entertainment industry to be filled with exaggerated sausage mouths and silicone buttocks.
However, things are certainly not absolute.
Even if it does not meet his personal aesthetic, Simon approves of Julie's appearance and acting skills. Thinking about it again, this actress's wild temperament also reveals some self-destructive tendencies, which is better than Milla Jovovich's. Qi is more suitable for a racing girl like Laidi.
Girl A understood what her boss meant and continued: "The problem is that Julie is not willing to sign a long-term contract, but Mira is. In addition, Julie's personality is also very unstable and she is addicted to drugs. This is the most important thing for Jerry and the others." Something to worry about.”
In the past timeline, Simon knew quite a bit about Angelina Jolie's messy private life. Unexpectedly, even the appearance of his big butterfly could not change this.
With this in mind, the elevator door opened and Simon stepped into the corridor while saying, "Let me take a look at the list in my hand first."
It’s unclear how much Julie is addicted this time, but for the sake of the project, Simon decides to be more cautious.
When he arrived at his office and was about to go through the outer door, Simon spotted two Korean girls. Seeing Simon appear, the two girls took the initiative to come over and bowed to greet him humbly.
The blonde female assistant here gave a simple explanation, and Simon understood it roughly, and did not refuse. He smiled and motioned for the two beautiful vases to follow him through the door.
Instead of going behind the desk, he turned to the sofa in the lounge area. Simon sat down, spread the actor list on his lap, patted his side, and said to the two beauties: "Come here."
