Simon and Danny Morris discussed the copyright issues encountered by the "Conjuring" movie universe, but had no intention of personally coming forward.
Showing up in person will only make things more stalemate.
Moreover, in today's Hollywood, Daenerys Entertainment wants to buy the rights, because the commercial performance of adapted movies is often very good, and the competitive advantage is far superior to other studios.
Rights owners, as long as they are not too short-sighted, can see the various benefits of working with Daenerys Entertainment.
Once the project is successful, the value of its other works will also increase.
In addition, the most direct benefit is that copyright holders can often obtain a profit share equivalent to that of Hollywood screenwriters.
For a $200,000 script, if the movie is a hit, it is not impossible to get back $2 million through various income from the project. If the project is messed up, even if the initial copyright price is doubled several times, it will be impossible to get any more in the future. thing.
While they were chatting, a voice related to Daenerys Entertainment came from the projection screen in the hall again.
"Howards End" actress Emma Thompson won the 50th Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series.
This time at the Golden Globe Awards, Daenerys Entertainment is focusing on two films: "Scent of a Woman" and "The Crying Game". However, the film aspect includes "Scent of a Woman", "Jurassic Park" and other films. There are still many scattered nominations.
Strictly speaking, both "Scent of a Woman" and "The Crying Game" do not have female leads. This award fell to Emma Thompson. This is also the other party's first Hollywood heavyweight acting award.
With the awarding of the heavyweight Best Actress in a Drama Series award, the Golden Globe Awards ceremony has also entered its final stage.
Simon couldn't help but turn more of his attention to the projection screen.
Best Actor in a Drama Series, Al Pacino made another success, successfully winning the award for his wonderful performance in "Scent of a Woman". This is also Al Pacino's second Golden Globe Award since 1973. For films such as the "Godfather" series and "Scarface", Pacino has always only been nominated.
Immediately afterwards, skipping several irrelevant awards, the more important best screenplay winner, Bo Goodman, is still "Scent of a Woman".
Finally, the best film in the drama category, "Scent of a Woman" successfully topped the list.
When the award ceremony ended, the staff in the hall had already compiled a more detailed result.
Daenerys Entertainment relied on all 31 nominations at the 50th Film and Television Golden Globe Awards, winning a total of 12 awards in all aspects of film and television, becoming the biggest winner of this Golden Globe Award.
In terms of movies, "Scent of a Woman" performed the most eye-catchingly, winning four core awards: Best Picture in a Drama Series, Best Director, Best Actor in a Drama Series, and Best Screenplay.
Jay Davidson, who disguised himself as a woman in "The Crying Game," also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor for his wonderful performance.
Also, Emma Thompson won Best Actress in a Drama Series.
There are a total of six major film awards. Daenerys Entertainment has taken the initiative to give up the musical comedy-related film awards this time.
In terms of television, Daenerys Entertainment also won six awards.
The awards are mainly focused on Daenerys's two major TV series "Seinfeld" and "Desperate Housewives" in the field of entertainment. Different from the movie category, the two main series in the TV series are both musical comedy types, because the two TV series With excellent reputation and ratings, the film won the best film in the musical comedy category, the best actor in the musical comedy category, and the best actress in the musical comedy category.
In addition, other projects launched by the company in recent years have received separate nominations and awards.
Speaking of which, if the Golden Globes follow the trend and set up reality show awards like the Emmy Awards, and rely on the still strong series such as "Survivor", Daenerys Entertainment's awards tonight will be even more generous.
As the ceremony concluded, more people began to gather at the Malibu Daenerys Studios.
It was already late at night, and the movie theater was becoming more and more lively.
"Congratulations, Ms. Ward. Also, you look really beautiful tonight."
"Oh, thank you, Simon."
In the party hall, Simon patiently congratulated all the winners tonight.
When he came to Sheila Ward, who played the perfect housewife Bree Van Dikan in "Desperate Housewives", Simon noticed that there was a middle-aged man standing next to the woman, but there was nothing unusual about her. He naturally stretched out his hand to shake hands with her. .
Sela Ward still held the Golden Globe trophy in one hand, and shook hands with the little man in front of her. Facing the gentle and gentle smile in front of her, she felt inexplicably guilty.
However, he soon forced himself to give up some thoughts.
After all, they only had two nights together. He had never promised anything to himself, nor had he asked her to promise anything.
What's more, he looked at Janet next to Simon.
He also has a wife.
With her thoughts a little confused, Sheila Ward also shook hands with Janet. Sheila Ward paused, suddenly realized something, and quickly introduced: "Simon, this is Howard."
The middle-aged man next to the woman was already eager to give it a try. After hearing his girlfriend's introduction, he took the initiative to reach out to Simon and said, "Hello, Mr. Westeros, I am Howard Sherman, a partner at KPCB."
The middle-aged man said and politely handed over a business card.
Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers is also one of the famous venture capital firms in Silicon Valley and has participated in investments in companies such as SUN and Silicon Graphics. To be able to achieve the position of partner of KPCB, Howard Sherman's ability must be very outstanding, and he should obviously have a good family background.
Simon took the business card, but had no intention of exchanging his own business card. He just smiled and chatted with the other party for a few words, and then left with Janet to socialize with others.
Howard Sherman had just taken the initiative to invite Simon to have dinner with him when he was free. When he was rejected, he was inevitably a little disappointed and secretly thinking about future opportunities.
Although KPCB has a certain status in Silicon Valley, there is still a big gap between it and Sequoia Capital, the largest venture capital in Silicon Valley. If we can reach cooperation with the Westeros system, KPCB can definitely be transformed.
On the other side of the party, after the two walked away, Janet held Simon's arm, but there was a little gloating in her smile.
Simon greeted the "Seinfeld" crew again, and seeing that the woman's expression remained unchanged, he said helplessly: "What's wrong?"
Janet squeezed Simon's arm with her little hand, and said with a smile: "The woman you personally promoted ran away, will you be very disappointed?"
Simon shook his head: "No."
Janet's eyes flickered for a moment, and she suddenly nodded her head: "Yeah, you really don't know how." Then she leaned into the man's ear and said, "You just like other people's wives."
Simon turned his head and pecked Janet on the lips, and said with a smile: "Keep your voice down, if others hear you, I might be beaten to death on the spot."
No one else called him, but Janet couldn't help but pinch the man's arm again, this time with a little more force: "You little bastard, you don't even bother to quibble."
The music on the side of the hall just happened to sound. Simon put his arm around Janet's waist comfortingly and said, "Let's go dance. If you want to hear the quibbles, we can secretly talk on the dance floor."
Janet rolled her eyes at the man and was pulled along to the dance floor obediently.
Soft music, dimmed lights, surrounded by men and women hugging each other and dancing slowly.
Janet leaned on the man's arms and danced to the rhythm for a few minutes. She accidentally caught a glimpse of the female assistant on the edge of the dance floor. She hugged Simon for a while, and then reluctantly pulled him away from the dance floor, reluctantly saying that someone could lend her to him. Female assistant for a while.
Janet spoke, and the other two people came to the dance floor together naturally without being too deliberate.
But in front of many people, the female assistant did not dare to stick to the man as intimately as Janet did.
When the music ended, Janet also appeared again, pulling the female assistant and saying that she wanted to take a rest, leaving Simon alone in the crowd.
The female assistant was pulled by Janet to a booth in the corner of the hall. The two sat down on the sofa, but Jennifer couldn't help but look at a certain guy.
Janet got two glasses of champagne and handed one to the female assistant. She noticed her gaze and said with a smile, "How about you go over and continue to keep an eye on him."
Some of her little thoughts were revealed, and the female assistant suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Janet sat down next to the female assistant and reached out to gently take one of her hands. The female assistant didn't know what was going on and looked at her with doubts. Then, Janet suddenly tightened her grip hard. The female assistant subconsciously struggled, but did not break away. She also subconsciously asked, "What are you doing?"
Janet just smiled and let go of her, shrugging.
The female assistant didn't know a little secret on Janet's wrist. Seeing her let go of her and recalling the details just now, she suddenly understood.
Janet was telling her that the harder a man looks, the easier it is to break away.
In fact, there is some small recognition in my heart.
But, after all, I still want to keep a close eye on him.
So I couldn't help but glance over.
I noticed that he was chatting with Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, and then I looked away.
Janet followed her gaze, and with a bit of mischief, she leaned into the female assistant's ear and said, "I slept with this one too."
The female assistant was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked over. Simon happened to look over, and her eyes met his, like a mouse being hit while stealing something, and she hurriedly avoided it.
Janet was next to her, her restless little paws still hugging her waist, and her tone was bewitching: "He is just a little bastard. Are you disappointed? Leave him."
The female assistant twisted her body and failed to break free, but she refused to be outdone and counterattacked: "Why don't you leave him?"
Janet said pitifully: "I was put under a spell by him. I will die if I leave him. You know, the little bastard is a psychic."
The female assistant rolled her eyes at him helplessly and couldn't help but said, "Can you stop calling him 'little bastard' all the time."
Janet immediately started to repeat in a hoarse voice: "Little bastard, little bastard, little bastard... Ah, haha, don't scratch me, little assistant, I will ask my husband to deduct your salary, ahha, I'll fire you if you scratch me again."
Hundreds of people gathered in the hall, which was very lively. The playfulness of two women in the corner went unnoticed.
It's just that the dress on her body has some wrinkles.
After complaining to each other for a while, the two women simply left the party early.
Simon heard a staff member come over and tell him that the two Jennys had left early. He just nodded and continued to talk to Demi Moore in front of him: "Claire's identity is a female agent. I hope to get a strong and hundred-year-old girl." The character image has changed, so, Demi, you need to undergo physical training for a period of time, at least for a month, and the crew will try to arrange your role as late as possible."
What the two sides are talking about is "Mission: Impossible."
After several rounds of deliberation, coupled with Demi Moore's hard work, the heroine of the first episode of "Mission: Impossible" finally fell on the other party.
After "The Last Days" and "A Few Good Men," Demi Moore, who is eager for quick success, has taken on several bad movies in a row, and now her status as a star is almost falling back to the second tier.
The plot of the new version of "Mission: Impossible" is very different from the original first movie.
The heroine Claire is a colleague of Ethan Hunt. The two have a good impression of each other and have experienced hardships together. She is no longer the wife of Jon Voight played by Emmanuelle Béard.
After all, in Tom Cruise's movies, because some fans will cover their ears and shout "I don't believe it, I don't believe it, I don't believe it", it is always difficult for the male protagonist and the female protagonist to create sparks. Therefore, Cruise's character in the film is often set to be a type that is less palatable to women, and of course it will be reversed in the end.
Under normal circumstances, after the reversal of ordinary movies, sparks are naturally no longer needed.
Since the male protagonist this time has been replaced by Nicolas Cage, naturally there is no need for such a 'pleasant' setting.
Unlike the later king of bad movies, today's Nicolas Cage has no receding hairline. He can be described as a super handsome guy with walking hormones.
It is said that during the filming of "Moonlight Seductive", the heroine Xueer was really seduced to death.
For the heroine of "Mission Impossible", Simon originally hoped to find a heroine who could perform a powerful and dangerous feeling.
However, femme fatale type actresses are not easy to find after all.
Linda Fiorentino, who originally participated in "Basic Instinct", is one of them. However, after this woman became famous with "Basic Instinct", the difficult attributes of her character were completely exposed, and she would have conflicts with the main creator in almost every movie. Contradiction, after both parties fulfilled the original two contracts, they never cooperated again.
As for Demi Moore, Simon was originally reluctant to let her star in the film.
I personally watched several of Demi Moore's live auditions and confirmed that the other party put enough thought into this role before reluctantly agreeing.
In my memory, Demi Moore acted in "The Devil's Own" and also served as the female villain in "Charlie's Angels 2". In order to protect her status this time, she also cherishes this opportunity.
After all, the mentality of the film creator is crucial to the quality of a film.
If an actor is purely out to make money and doesn't put too much thought into a project, then the possibility of becoming a classic is almost non-existent.
The first few works of many directors are often very good, but they become increasingly weak in the later years. In many cases, it is not because they have exhausted their talents, but more because they are successful and famous, and of course they do not need to spend too much energy.
In this regard, Demi Moore can be regarded as an actress who has always worked very hard.
