Michelle Pfeiffer didn't expect Simon to refuse so directly, and she was in a daze.
Moreover, the Oscar award is something that only thousands of judges in the Academy have the right to decide, but a certain guy just said directly, "I can't give it to you," as if the statuette was in his pocket.
Seeing Michelle Pfeiffer in a daze, Simon just smiled and raised his glass to her, then turned and left.
Michelle Pfeiffer may be an unattainable Hollywood goddess for other members of the opposite sex, but for Simon now, she is not very attractive and is really not his type of temperament.
Seeing Simon walk away, Michelle Pfeiffer reacted and was about to chase after him, but she saw that Simon had been talked to by another middle-aged man with black hair, so she had to stop.
"Hello, Mr. Westeros, I'm Tim Bevan."
"Oh, Hello."
Simon shook hands with the other party, and when he saw the middle-aged man handing over his business card, he took it casually and pretended to look at the contents on the card with interest. In fact, when he heard the other party's name, he already knew the identity of the middle-aged man in front of him.
The business card in his hand says 'President of Working Title Films'.
Working Title is a film term, which translates as 'tentative title'. Many films do not have an official title due to confidentiality considerations during the preparation and shooting stage, so they will use a tentative name as a code name, which is 'Working Title'. '.
The company is tentatively named Famous Pictures. People who don’t pay much attention to the film industry may not know it, but in the original timeline, this company was famous. It has successively produced "Four Weddings and a Funeral", "The Big Lebowski", " "Fargo", "Notting Hill", "BJ's Diary" and other excellent works.
In Simon's memory, Tentative Pictures was just a small studio at the beginning. It was probably acquired in recent years by the record giant Polygram Pictures, which was interested in getting involved in the film industry, and with the global success of "Four Weddings and a Funeral" Selling became famous in one fell swoop. Later, Polygram Records was acquired by Universal's parent company MCA, and Tencent Pictures also became a subsidiary of Universal Pictures. Until Simon was reborn, it continued to release a variety of outstanding movies.
It was naturally impossible for Tim Bevan to know Simon's thoughts, but since he had a conversation with Simon Westeros, he certainly would not miss the opportunity and immediately continued: "Mr. Westeros, I have a very special person in my hand. It’s a good script, maybe you can listen to it.”
Simon raised his head and asked: "First of all, tell me what successful movies your company has produced?"
Tim Bevan showed a smile on his face and said: "The "Quarantined World" at the Cannes Film Festival in 1988 was our company's production."
Simon certainly remembers the 1988 Cannes Film Festival.
That time, "Pulp Fiction" won the Palme d'Or, making Simon the youngest Palme d'Or winner in the history of the Cannes Film Festival.
The Jury Prize was second place.
Simon then remembered the theme of "A World Apart," a political film about apartheid in South Africa. Just hearing about such an unpopular story theme, one cannot imagine that the commercial performance of "Quarantined World" will not be very good.
If someone else had brought it up, Simon would definitely have no interest in continuing the conversation.
But of course that can't be done right now.
"So, tell me about your script."
As a film producer, Tim Bevan certainly cannot have only one script in his hand. However, he knows very well that it is already very rare for him to get one opportunity in front of this young man, and he cannot expect more. .
After sorting out his thoughts, Tim Bevan said: "This is a non-mainstream crime drama called "Bloody Romeo". The story tells the story of Jack, a voyeuristic detective who is ordered to supervise a supervisor with a rough and fiery personality. Lina, the gangster killer, thought this was a very easy thing. However, a series of coincidental accidents made things worse and worse. His lover died unexpectedly, his wife cheated and ran away. Jack finally had to find ways to make himself Get out of the quagmire. In addition to various coincidences and accidents, the highlight of the story is also the laughter caused by the strong personality contrast between Jack and Lena. I have given the script to Mr. Gary Oldman for reading, and he is very interested in this story. interested."
Simon has not watched "Bloody Romeo", but after listening to Tim Bevan's narration, he basically understands it.
The middle-aged man in front of him has been following him since "The World of Isolation" just now. The script at this time clearly gave Simon the feeling of another "Pulp Fiction".
"Four Weddings and a Funeral" in Memories will be released next year, and logically, preparations should have started by now.
What Simon wanted to hear most was actually the script.
Of course, he also knew that even if the script of "Four Weddings and a Funeral" was in Tim Bevan's hands, he would not introduce it to him if he finally got an opportunity to promote it to him. A movie that was not well received before.
However, now that it has been delivered to the door, Simon is not too anxious.
What's more, despite not having heard of "Romeo Bloods," the project seems like a perfect fit for one man, Quentin.
Simon had just taken the time to read Quentin's new script "True Romance" in the morning. He had already seen the finished film of this project. The original "True Romance" was written by Quentin and directed by Tony Scott. . But the film ultimately failed.
During this time and space, Simon cut "Pulp Fiction" in advance, and Quentin, who gained fame with "Reservoir Dogs" last year, came up with "True Romance" and planned to direct it himself.
However, compared to "Pulp Fiction", "True Romance" is really mediocre.
Maybe let the other person try "Bloody Romeo" that Tim Bevan just mentioned.
"True Romance" and "Bloody Romeo", judging from the names, the two films are indeed somewhat related. As for the story, in Simon's opinion, the latter is obviously more intense, while "True Romance" seems a bit... Mediocre chaos.
Having made up his mind, Simon said to Tim Bevan, who was eagerly waiting for his response: "Are you an independent producer now?"
Tim Bevan realized something and nodded quickly.
Since being involved in the film industry in the 1980s, Tim Bevan and his partner Sarah Radcliffe have been trying to find a major sponsor. Last year, they had contact with PolyGram, but in the end The failure to negotiate was probably due to Daenerys' entertainment.
In the original time and space, PolyGram tried to get involved in the film industry, originally heading for Hollywood.
However, in recent years, Daenerys Entertainment has been too strong. Even Hollywood's second- and third-tier film companies can only survive under the impact of Daenerys Entertainment, let alone outsiders like PolyGram.
Lacking motivation, PolyGram finally gave up its plan to expand its investment in the film industry and planned to continue focusing on the recording industry.
Unable to get financial support from PolyGram, Tim Bevan could only continue to struggle to maintain the small studio of Tentative Pictures. This time he heard that Simon Westeros would appear at the Berlin Film Festival, and he spent a lot of money. Shaoxin got the opportunity to meet Simon this time. He carefully considered all the details beforehand, including that "The Quarantine" reminded Westeros of "Pulp Fiction", and then came up with the idea of "Bloody Romeo" Do what you like.
He was originally worried that Westeros would never give him a chance to speak, but he didn't expect that things would develop so smoothly.
Seeing Tim Bevan nodding, Simon finally took out a business card from his suit pocket and handed it to the other person, saying: "Take this and contact Ella Deutschman. He is in Berlin recently. You can talk about the rest among yourselves. "
Many people in the hall noticed the conversation between Simon and Tim Bevan. Of course, some people in this circle knew Tim Bevan. Seeing that Westeros finally handed him a business card, many people were surprised. Realized something.
So, as soon as Tim Bevan walked away from Simon, someone else came up to him.
Simon was very patient with this kind of conversation, but for more than ten minutes, he never sent out a business card.
Michelle Pfeiffer kept looking at a certain young man who was able to move around easily in the crowd. Every time he wanted to step forward again, he found that someone else had taken the lead. Finally, when three tall goblins came together, Next to Simon, Michelle Pfeiffer realized that she was probably completely out of luck.
Seeing the three supermodels Claudia Schiffer, Nadja Allman and Paulina Preskova gathered around Westeros, everyone in the hall could only be envious.
Claudia Schiffer and Nadja Allman are both Germans, and it is understandable that they appear here to support their own film festivals. Simon is fascinated by the appearance of Paulina Preskova, whose face looks exactly like Audrey Hepburn. But he was a little surprised. After hugging the three girls one by one, he asked about his curiosity.
"I got a small role in "Arizona Dreams," said Paulina Preskova, looking at Simon with some resentment and saying, "It's a pity that it's only a small role."
Simon would not be moved by the look in the eyes of a big goblin, and smiled: "Even Oscar-winning actresses, many of them started with small roles, and I think your main focus should be on your modeling career."
"But, I'm already..." Paulina Priskova said, subconsciously stopped, then thought of something, and continued without hesitation: "I am already 28 years old."
At the age of 28, for a model, it is indeed the age to retire.
Simon felt the scrutiny of a pair of beautiful eyes and looked over, saying, "If someone told me you were 18 years old, I would believe it."
Paulina Priskova raised her eyebrows slightly, with a little disappointment in her expression: "Simon, are you starting to like 18-year-old girls now?"
Simon was a little helpless at the big goblin's teasing, and nodded politely: "Yes."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand towards Nadja Orman. Nadja Orman cooperated closely and allowed Simon to hold her waist. She also made a demonstration to Paulina Priskova. expression.
Compared with Paulina, Nadja Orman is only 22 years old this year, and has a certain guy's support, so her career path is still long. Even Claudia Schiffer is much more famous than Paulina, but she is only 23 years old this year. Even though she still looks gorgeous, Paulina has become a front-runner who will be photographed on the beach.
Especially last year’s Victoria’s Secret show.
Paulina felt that her style was not suitable for the underwear T stage, so she did not participate. With the rise of the Victoria's Secret Army, she now only regrets it.
Seeing Nadya Orman clinging to the man to demonstrate to her, Paulina Priskova simply ignored the other party, just stared at the man in front of her and said: "Simon, do you remember that you owed us a promise?"
Simon's 20th birthday party was attended by Cindy Crawford, Helena Christensen, Paulina Preskova and Stephanie Seymour because they were in a relationship with some guy's little girl. After interacting with each other, the other party made a small promise to them.
At first I didn't care much.
However, among the four women, the other three are now the spokespersons of Victoria's Secret Angels and have become popular in recent years, but Paulina has been obviously left behind.
Originally, she still had top endorsements like Estee Lauder in her hands. However, as her popularity was gradually overtaken by a large number of latecomers, Paulina knew very well that if she didn't do something to restore her popularity, she would definitely fall behind when her contract expired at the end of the year. was replaced. Once she lost her endorsement contract with Estee Lauder, her modeling career basically came to an end. There are so many more famous rising stars, and it is impossible for brands to choose her, an older and past model.
In the reception hall, when Simon heard Paulina's words, he shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't remember."
Paulina's eyes widened: "Simon, you are such a scoundrel."
"Only men who are rogue will attract girls," Simon still had a smile on his face and turned to ask Nadja Orman: "Right?"
Nadja Orman did not answer, but came over directly, kissed Simon on the face, and then continued to demonstrate to Paulina. Nadja Allman's appearance is far less beautiful than Paulina. Even with her age advantage, she is still a little afraid of Paulina. Of course, if you can suppress the opponent, you will spare no effort.
The man was cheating. Although she felt that he was just teasing her, Paulina had nothing to do. She could only look at the other person angrily, trying to beat the conscience of a certain guy with her eyes.
Simon did not look at her, turned to Claudia Schiffer, and started chatting casually.
Although she is only one year older than Nadja Allman, Claudia Schiffer is the most famous among the three girls. However, it was still last year's Victoria's Secret show that greatly disrupted the fashion industry. .
Through a series of video tapes, photo albums and even peripheral product sales, the forty Victoria's Secret Angels have become the most well-known people in the industry. Although many top fashion brands look down on the style of the Victoria's Secret show, they have to try their best to invite Victoria's Secret Angels to participate in their own catwalk shows.
No matter how high-end the catwalk is, the fundamental purpose is still for publicity.
If you can't even hire some of the most famous supermodels, it will give the outside world a feeling of falling behind.
As a result, the five Victoria's Secret Angel spokespersons have become the darlings of the fashion circle.
