Chapter 953 Little Fox

Keep in mind our website and wish you all a happy reading! Don't forget to spread the word.

After Stephen Sommers finished speaking, David Giller nodded first, then shook his head and said, "Stephen, first of all, this is a great story, but if you're going to start production right away, I'm sure I don't have time, I've already Agreed to Fox to produce Alien 4, just talked to Joe Ross. Speaking of which, don't you need to prepare for The Mummy 2?"

Before accepting the "Mummy" series, Stephen Sommers was just a budding rookie director with no bargaining chips, so he signed a one-time package contract for the trilogy.

However, upon hearing this question from David Giller, Stephen Sommers showed a slightly sly smile: "If Daenerys is optimistic about "Extreme Chill", I believe Simon should agree with me to shoot this film first. movie."

This sentence obviously has some subtext.

Among the men and women around, some immediately understood, some thought for a while, and some were at a loss. Gwyneth Paltrow looked at her boyfriend suspiciously in the eyes of most people, and Pete couldn't explain it at this time, so he could only pretend not to notice.

it's actually really easy.

The "Mummy" series is just a cooperation project with Fox. If Daenerys is optimistic about "Extreme Chill" and invests in the production alone, this is her own son.

Of course the biological one takes precedence.

In fact, the production of "Mission Impossible 2" is an obvious reference.

The first "Mission Impossible" was born in 1993. When the partner Paramount had no other blockbusters, the sequel was not released until the summer of 1996, with an interval of nearly three years. If there is no intention of Daenerys deliberately delaying to make way for other films of her own, it is estimated that few will believe it.

After all, film schedules and film and television resources are limited.

The "Mission Impossible" series develops one in three years and one in two years, and the schedule and resources occupied are definitely not the same concept.

The situation in "Extreme Chill" is slightly different, but it is also the same. In the final analysis, Daenerys Entertainment's interests must be the one that needs to be guaranteed first.

Of course, the mature David Giller understood immediately, smiled as well, and said, "Then, Stephen, you should actually talk to Amy or Simon directly."

"The main thing is that the script isn't finished yet," Stephen Sommers said. "I'm going on vacation to Hawaii next, and I'll get this script done by the way."

"Then I wish you success first, and feel free to contact me if you need any help," David Giller reached out to Sommers, shook it, raised his glass to the others, and turned away.

Brad Pitt followed David Giller's direction and noticed the more lively John Wu not far away, withdrew his gaze, smiled and took the initiative to greet Sommers, Val Kilmer and the two English roses , I couldn't help but feel a little moved about "Extreme Cold" that Sommers just introduced.

After last year's "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", Brad Pitt's Superman character will not be resurrected until "Justice League" a few years later, and these years must not be idle.

The main target now is John Wu's new film "Changing Faces".

Linda Vargas hinted that he had high hopes, but it wasn't 100 percent. If the project doesn't get it, it seems that Stephen Sommers' "Extreme Chill" is not bad.

Of course, Brad Pitt heard what Sommers just said that he wanted Harrison Ford to appear in the role, but in Hollywood, there is such a thing as character ownership, even if the film is finished, there may still be reshoots and replacements, so it will not be released. Nothing is certain.

So I didn't rush to greet John Wu on the other side, and after we introduced each other, we chatted warmly.

Stephen Sommers and Brad Pitt had a lively chat, but Kate Beckinsale, who was just following over for a face-to-face meeting, didn't have the patience to continue participating, and quietly pulled Larachel Weisz, Lei Chell wanted to continue. Feeling Kate's little gesture, he had to smile at everyone and walk away with the people around him.

On such party occasions, chatting up and the like is very common.

The two English roses seem to have some kind of insulation naturally, and they belong to the kind that no one has come forward to talk about. Fortunately, the two women are not people who can't communicate. Even if they have no other thoughts, there are always so many guests at this party. Several targets of interest can be found.

Rachel Weisz deliberately stopped Robert De Niro, who had just arrived, to chat a few words, and finally asked for an autograph. As a young literary woman, she had looked forward to working with De Niro when she was in college, and she was a fan. A sister.

After traveling for a while, the two came to the swimming pool.

Kate quickly took off her high heels, sat down by the pool, dipped her feet in the cold pool water, and dangled a pair of slender feet comfortably, while looking at the few mermaids in the pool curiously.

Rachel was not as carefree as Kate. She sat down quietly beside her, looked at the pool, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to swim?"

Kate raised her chin: "Of course not, I'm not a foil."

The girls in bikinis in the pool are obviously supermodels, and several of them are very familiar. In this case, it would be humiliating for other women to go into the water and swim again. After all, few people can compare with these goblins who need to eat with their face and body, so they have been carefully exercised and maintained for many years.

As the two were talking, one of the mermaids had already swam over, graciously climbed on the edge of the pool and shook her hair, then smiled and said hello to Rachel: "Hello, Miss Vichy, I recently

Just watched The Mummy and you're so pretty in it, oh, of course, the real one is prettier. "

"Thank you," Rachel replied politely, shook hands with the other party, and did not forget to help introduce with the girl's eyes: "This is Kate Beckinsale, she is one of the heroines of "Charlie's Angels", this is The movie will be released at the end of the year.”

"Then I must go and see," the girl reached out and shook Kate again, and introduced herself: "My name is Fernanda Lima."

Rachel smiled: "I know, Victoria's Secret Angel, frankly, your figure is really enviable."

"Oh, thanks."

Kate listened to the two of them holding each other, rolled her eyes slightly, and asked a little bit sourly: "Lima, why have you been staying in the water, don't you plan to come up and play for a while?"

Fernanda Lima didn't seem to feel Kate's thorns, and smiled: "Because we are the mermaids tonight. Of course the mermaids have to stay in the water. Kate, do you want to come down too?"

"No, I can't be a mermaid."

Probably because Lima and Kate had a good chat, several other girls in the pool also swam over, but they didn't climb on the side of Kate, who dipped her feet in the water, but at Fernanda Lima. The other side is lined up one by one, a total of six girls, looking over together.

Being stared at by six pairs of eyes, Kate was a little embarrassed, so she could only withdraw her feet and sit by the pool like Rachel.

Fernanda walked over one by one and introduced, "Eva, Daniela, Tricia, Heidi, Melania, and finally little Angela."

The girl with a prefix on the far right was immediately dissatisfied, but her expression was obviously a little smug: "Fel, you are jealous, Simon clearly said that I am a little fox, not little Angela."

Fernanda smiled and said, "It's pretty small anyway, isn't it?"

The girl named Angela Lindward didn't refute any more, she made a gesture to a waitress not far away, who quickly came over with a stack of bathrobes.

Immediately, the six girls came out of the bath together with the beauty, and left the pool with the sound of rushing water. They took the bathrobes handed over by the waitress and put them on their bodies, giggling and laughing, and walked towards the villa.

The two girls, Kate, who were suddenly put aside, stared at each other.

Don't you mean mermaid?

Don't you mean to stay in the water?

I can't believe what a beautiful woman says.

Um.

Who said this?

Then, watching the scene of the six girls walking through the crowd and entering the mansion villa unimpeded, Kate reacted again, this kind of chattering and insulating physique... Suddenly she turned to Rachel angrily: "How many women does he have? "

Rachel blinked and subconsciously denied: "What does this have to do with me?"

I don't have a maid of the Wei family.

Kate forcibly painted Rachel's body with her eyes, as if depicting a label, and then looked around, looking for someone's figure: "Rachel, tell me, why hasn't he come yet?"

How could it not come?

Rachel didn't answer, but looked in the direction where the six girls left just now.

Mansion master villa.

Kate was so smart, looked over together, and then felt that she was really stupid, put on her shoes, stood up, pulled Rachel and walked towards the villa. They had just arrived, and because they were brought here directly by the waiter, Kate thought that someone should be in the crowd if they arrived, but ignored that the villa was also brightly lit.

At the same time, I realized that a guy who said he didn't want it was actually thinking about it all the time.

Otherwise, how could she be more sensitive than she felt.

The two women entered the hall of the villa, and sure enough, many people were here.

Without wasting time on the first floor, Kate pulled Rachel, who seemed to be hesitant, to the stairs and came to the second floor. The atmosphere suddenly became much quieter.

Look left and right.

There are two bodyguards guarding the east side of the corridor on the second floor, and there is nothing on the west side.

Turning to the east decisively and being blocked as a matter of course, Kate did not panic and asked, "Is Simon here, can you tell him, I'm Kate Beckinsale, and Rachel Weisz. "

One of them said, "Miss, please wait a moment."

Leaving one person walked to a door, knocked, and said something to the inside, and quickly signaled that they could go there.

finally found you.

Kate was a little excited, and grabbed Rachel, who was obviously sweating, and walked over quickly. However, when she came to the door of this room, she just glanced inward and felt a little regretful.

Simon is indeed there.

It's just that there are other people in the room, including Robert De Niro, who just asked for an autograph by Rachel, Ella Deutschman, president of Highgate Pictures, Jonathan Friedman, head of ma, Michael Eisner, the former chairman of Disney, etc., in short, a group of big men.

The two girls ran over, no matter how they looked at it, it was out of time.

Seeing that a group of unscrupulous male creatures around someone were staring at them with schadenfreude, she couldn't turn around and leave at this time. Kate had to bite the bullet and enter the door, of course, not forgetting to pull Rachel, who was also frozen, and just think about it. The smiling face that must be ugly said: "Simon, and everyone, we are just here... to say hello."

One of the elegant middle-aged people didn't seem to want them to be embarrassed, so he took the initiative to help clear the siege, and gestured to the east side: "Go to the next room, the women are all there."

Kate subconsciously

Sound, instinctively was about to step back, but soon realized that it was still necessary to see Simon's reaction.

With a smile on his face but a helpless expression, Simon pointed to Robert Iger, who was talking, and then said to both Kate, "Go down, have fun, and don't come over again."

"Well, then...bye."

As he said that, he obediently pulled Rachel out of the room again, and took the initiative to pull the door closed, then patted his chest and took a deep breath.

So scary.

As he was about to walk to the stairs, remembering the words of the middle-aged man just now, he couldn't help but glanced at the door of the room a little further inward, and took a small step in curiously. However, in the second thought, a chill came directly from the soles of the feet to the brain, and Kate dragged Rachel quickly to the stairs without thinking.

Those guys are horrible.

The women are all over there...what women?

What other woman could it be? !

Running into a bunch of big men is just embarrassing.

Run into Janet Westeros and who knows if she'll come out alive.

The one who seemed to be the top executive of Daenerys Entertainment just now, forgot what it was called, and still looked polite. I didn't expect it to be so bad.

Alas, sure enough, what kind of people bring out what kind of subordinates.

In the room on the second floor, a group of men couldn't help laughing when they watched the two girls retreating in embarrassment.

After such a lively moment, everyone resumed a topic before the two women appeared, and the first one was Robert Iger, who had just nearly pitted the two women seriously: "Simon, I think even if you solve the problem of controlled nuclear fusion, It won't change the future of human beings much. I know your goal is to create near-infinite productivity, so you can ensure that all human beings can enjoy perfect social welfare even if most people don't work at all, but, you know eh...probably, um, the year you were born in 1968, an animal behaviorist named John Calhoun did an experiment called 'Rat Paradise', presumably similar to your theory of infinite productivity, for a The rats in the space provided absolutely abundant food and water, allowing them to survive and reproduce indefinitely without any worries, and as a result, the rat paradise collapsed.”

"I know about this experiment," said Mark Belford, vice president of global operations for Daenerys Entertainment, who was sitting on the other side of the sofa. "I took a sociology course in college, and my teacher happened to talk about it. And , the answer given by the teacher is that human beings want to survive for a long time, but need war. Simon, don't you like Chinese culture very much? My teacher used this very typical ancient country as an example, because of the special geography The situation, China has a history of more than 2,000 years, and has been continuously attacked by the northern horse and archer people. However, this country has not only not perished, but has survived to the present. On the contrary, many ancient civilizations in a superior environment without natural enemies are silent. disappeared without a trace."

Michael Eisner, who was no longer in the circle and still came to join in the fun, sank comfortably in the single sofa, crossed his legs leisurely, and said, "I think you are too pessimistic, the collapse of mouse paradise is because they only have instinct, and Can't think about it. The Chinese case, well, I don't know much about this. However, I think what Simon has done is actually providing us with a possibility to solve the problem better, right, Simon?"

Simon nodded and said, "That's right."

Iger said: "But I think that as long as there are classes in human beings, the more productive the productive forces are, the bigger the gap between different classes will be. When the gap is so big that people are desperate, the world will be more unstable."

Simon couldn't help but ask, "Bob, have you seen Ghost in the Shell?"

"what?"

"A Japanese manga with some of the ideas that you just said."

Jonathan Friedman said: "I've seen this, bought it by my son. I read it by chance and thought it was good, and I finished reading it before I knew it. It's a really shocking comic, Simon, maybe you can buy the copyright. , into a movie."

Simon took a sip of red wine and nodded, "I'll think about it."

There was actually a slightly out of place Seagram chairman Edgar Bronfman Jr. in the room.

The Canadian billionaire who controls Paramount Pictures and Orion Pictures specially flew over from Toronto to attend this party. In fact, the main reason is to push "Mission Impossible 3" into production as soon as possible, and don't delay the third like the second film. Years, Seagram can't afford to spend a bit.

It's just that I didn't expect that a group of top Hollywood bigwigs would get together and discuss the future of mankind... nonsense.

All right.

Little Edgar Bronfman was about to interrupt when the door was knocked again. Everyone looked over, but Amy Pascal appeared at the door holding another white man.

Seeing the two appear, everyone got up one after another.

But Amy signaled everyone to be polite, pushed the man beside him, and said, "This is Bernard, okay, Jenny and the others are next door, right? I'm over, you can talk."

After saying this, Amy irresponsibly left a man and turned to the next door.

Seems...well, a little shy.

In fact, everyone understands why.

This is Amy's fiancé, Bernard Weinraub. Because Amy is pregnant, the two plan to get married during the solo holiday, but because of the busy summer season, not only the wedding is simple, but Amy does not plan to immediately Honeymoon, but plan to postpone it until September.

Bernard Weinraub is a film critic, playwright, and writer for The New York Times

Special reporters in the film and television industry, the two met precisely because of Wenlaub's work, and they quickly became acquainted and further developed feelings. Before they knew it, they had already talked about marriage. In fact, what surprises everyone is that Bernard Weinlaub is 21 years older than Amy Pascal.

In the case of the obvious disparity between women and men, such an age gap can only be said to be true love.

The identity of any person on the scene is enough to get rid of Bernard Weinlaub a few blocks, but after all, it is Amy's fiance, and everyone is very respectful. Taking the initiative to say hello, Simon also asked the other party to sit down on the sofa next to him before continuing to chat. .

As for the next door.

When Amy appeared, led by Janet, a group of women who knew each other was less polite.
