Hollywood Hunter

At three o'clock, Lady A pushed open the door of her boss's office, and at first sight she saw Miss Li, who was curled up in the man's arms, with a red face.

When Her Royal Highness saw Alison entering the door, she was obviously intentional and hostile. She turned to the man and said softly, "I don't want to wear shoes anymore."

Simon just picked up the little feet of the girl in his arms, and put it down after hearing the words: "Okay."

"I don't want to go to the meeting either."

"Oh, then don't go, just sleep here for a while."

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess stretched out her arms around Simon's neck and said, "I want you to accompany me."

"This can't be done," Simon refused this time: "I have to work hard to make money to support you."

"I don't want you to raise it," Li Fuzhen said, feeling his body being picked up by the man, turned around and landed on the leather chair that still had his body temperature, subconsciously grabbed the man's cuff with a pitiful expression, found it invalid, and put it aside Mouth: "You are obviously still... Damn."

Simon adjusted his clothes a little, lowered his head and grabbed the woman on the leather chair and kissed her pretty face: "Be good."

When Simon left, Lady A closed the door, and Miss Li, who was curled up on the large leather chair, reluctantly raised one foot and gently kicked the edge of the table twice, as if she was 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 a little, found his bag and took out tools to touch up his makeup, only then did he find the pair of small high heels and go out the door.

When I came to the outside, there was a blonde sitting behind the assistant's desk, and Miss A was not there. There were also two girls in uniform with obvious Korean faces in the adjacent lounge. Seeing Li Fuzhen, the two girls immediately got up and greeted him.

The eldest princess, who recovered her cold expression, glanced at her two assistants and turned to the blonde: "When will Simon come back?"

Just forgot to ask.

The blonde probably knew Li Fuzhen's identity, and the boss's work schedule was not a secret today, so he looked down on the memo, looked up, and said, "In an hour."

Miss Li also looked over, and the memo stated that the man was going to a discussion meeting on 3D digital projection equipment. She had no intention of chasing the past. She planned to stay in North America for a few days, and made an appointment to meet again on the East Coast on the weekend.

Thank you to the blonde. Miss Li was about to leave for a late advertising cooperation meeting. She saw her two assistants, remembered something, gestured to them, and said in Korean, "You guys stay here, later. Simon will use it."

Just now, she was full, but the man was still hungry. In addition to her previous experience, Li Fuzhen felt that it was just right to keep these two vases.

There are thoughts in his heart to please him.

Moreover, this can also prevent him from calling other messy women temporarily, right?

The two assistants were stunned when they heard the words, and then bowed their heads respectfully together.

Finally, I explained to the blonde next to me that Miss Li left alone. The blonde assistant didn't understand Korean, and she didn't know what Li Fuzhen had just ordered, but she didn't refuse the other two colleagues to stay. Anyway, she was just outside, so she wouldn't let them enter her boss's office rashly.

On the other side, Simon came to a small screening room on the lower floor of the same building, and someone was already waiting. In addition to several executives in their own theater business, there are also several Asian faces from Sony in Japan.

The meeting was chosen here, mainly to see the display effect of the 3D digital projection equipment developed by the two parties and entrusted to Sony.

Speaking of which, Simon has been paying attention to film projection technologies such as 3D and IMAX for a long time. At present, the IMAX theater has become a signboard of Daenerys Entertainment's global cinema business, but the progress of 3D has been very slow in recent years.

There are various reasons.

The first is the traditional film projection equipment, which cannot show the 3D image effect very well.

Secondly, even if the picture is not entangled, the cost of 3D copying of the film carrier is also a big problem.

For example, for a blockbuster, only for the North American market, with a screen size of 3,000 pieces, according to the copy price of about 1,000 US dollars, only this part of the cost will be 3 million US dollars, and if the 3D mode is used, it will directly double to 6 million US dollars.

This is not an expense that can be ignored.

In addition, IMAX, which Simon has always valued, is even more troublesome if it uses 3D projection. The huge IMAX film copy itself needs a pickup to be installed. If the 3D mode is used, whether it is the production, transportation or projection of the copy, it is 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 the cost is almost negligible, but other processes will also be much more stable.

As for the difference in image quality between digital and film, frankly speaking, it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish it with the naked eye.

This is already the case in 2000, and the effect of subsequent digital screenings will only be better.

Therefore, even if it is not to promote 3D, the next film to digital is also a general trend in the entire cinema industry. What Simon has done is to take the initiative to promote this trend so that he can get more dividends.

Let's talk about technology development.

In terms of digital photography and digital projection, on the North American side, the technical 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 Kodak, for example, stuck to its own film interests until it went bankrupt and completely missed the transition to the digital age.

Simon can only choose to cooperate with Japanese manufacturers.

It's the end anyway.

Both content and channels are in the hands of Daenerys Entertainment. Although the Japanese have technology, as in many Japanese cutting-edge technology fields in the future, they can only supply accessories and play supporting roles, and naturally they will not get any big profits. , let alone seize the initiative.

After an hour-long meeting, I first watched a 3D digital sample from "Jurassic Park", and continued to learn about various technical details, the follow-up research direction, and even the planning of Daenerys's theater chain cooperation. Simon finally asked about the development progress of the supporting 3D digital camera.

Time flies by.

The specific cooperation details were handed over to the person in charge of the theater business and the Sony team continued to negotiate. Simon left the small screening room and returned to the upstairs office. Girl A delivered a folder to her boss.

Because of Miss Li, Simon remembered the selection of Laidi's role in "The Fast and the Furious", and asked Alison to contact Linda Vargas, his royal casting director, to send a document.

Not in a hurry to open it, Simon walked into the elevator and asked the girl next to him, "Jerry, do they have any intentions?"

Jerry is Jerry Bruckheimer, and the producer of "Fast and Furious" that Simon himself has finalized, can also be regarded as an **** for Justin Lin, who is not familiar with blockbuster production.

Girl A nodded: "There are a total of 26 candidates in this folder, but three of them are more inclined, Angelina Jolie, Milla Jovovich and Charlize Theron."

For the role of Laidi Ortiz, first of all, it must be an action-type actress, and all three candidates are matched; again, it is beautiful and wild, and it is still a match; finally, the acting skills must be good enough, and the three women have rich performance experience. match.

With a little thought in his heart, Simon understood that any of the three women was enough to take responsibility.

Well, 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 ruled out, I already have arrangements."

This is the new version of 'Black Widow' that I have decided by myself. It has been given to Charlize Theron's "Chicago" and "The Lord of the Rings". The key roles in the two blockbusters, although the Fast and Furious series does not conflict with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but If the 'South African Diamond' is held too high, the Marvel series will be a bit difficult.

Simon didn't want to make the mistake of Disney, because he failed to bind in advance, resulting in Scarlett Johansson, who did not play much in the Marvel series, but always got the $20 million level after Robert Downey Jr. High salary.

Lady A heard her boss's order, she didn't ask more, just nodded in agreement, and continued: "The other Angelina and Mira, in terms of appearance, the latter is more in line with the boss's aesthetic, but Jerry and Lin are more inclined to the former."

Simon made a comparison in his heart again, nodded and said, "If it were me, I would choose the former."

Simon is very concerned about personal aesthetics. He doesn't want his entertainment circle to be full of exaggerated sausage mouths and silicone hips.

However, things are of course not absolute.

Even if it really does not conform to personal aesthetics, Simon recognizes Jolie's appearance and acting skills. Think about it again, this actress has some self-destructive temperament in her wild nature, more than Milla Jovovi Qi is more suitable for a drag racing girl like Laidi.

Girl A understood what her boss meant, and then said: "The problem is that Julie is not willing to sign a long-term contract, but Mila is willing. In addition, Julie's character is also very unstable and drug addiction, which is the most important thing for Jerry and the others. A little worried."

Once on the timeline, Simon was quite familiar with Angelina Jolie's private life. Unexpectedly, even if the big butterfly like him appeared, it could not change this.

Thinking like this, the elevator door opened, and Simon stepped into the corridor and said, "I'll take a look at the list in my hand first."

It is not clear how addicted Julie is this time. For the sake of the project, Simon decided to be more cautious.

When I came to my office, and was about to pass through the outside to enter the door, Simon found the figures of two Korean girls. When the two girls saw Simon appear, they also took the initiative to walk over and bowed humbly to say hello.

The blonde female assistant here gave a simple explanation, and Simon understood and did not refuse. She smiled and motioned for two beautiful vases to follow him into the door.

Instead of going to the back of the desk, he turned to the sofa in the lounge area. Simon sat down, spread the list of candidate actors on his lap, patted his side, and said to the two stunners, "Come here."
