Daenerys Entertainment HQ.

Simon came to his office. Six men and women were already waiting in the outer lounge. Among the four women and two men, the three tall and beautiful girls were the Wonder Woman candidates chosen by Simon, and the other three were obviously theirs. broker.

Seeing Simon appear, one of the girls in the group took the lead and raised her hand to greet Simon: "Hi, Simon."

Simon got closer, looked at Helena Christensen who he hadn't seen for half a year, and said with a smile, "How are Cindy and the others lately?"

"Very good," Helena Christensen said, with a little resentment in her eyes: "I thought you had completely forgotten us."

At Simon's twentieth birthday party earlier this year, he happened to meet several supermodels in his memory, namely Cindy Crawford, Helena Christensen, Paulina Preskova and Stephanie Seymour.

Simon remembered to leave contact information for a few girls at the end, but the circle between the two parties was too far apart after all. After some diligent phone calls, Simon did not give a very positive response, and the women were also very interesting. I no longer have frequent contact with him.

If it wasn't for this time, Simon didn't mean to contact them.

"Of course not, I have a good memory."

Simon said and smiled, and greeted several others.

In addition to Helena, the other two Wonder Woman candidates are Famke Janssen and Erica Anderson.

Famke Janssen is the first-generation Phoenix girl in the original time and space "X-Men" series, and also participated in the role of the villain Bond Girl in "GoldenEye of 007".

Among the three candidates, Simon is actually more inclined towards Famke Janssen. She is comparable to Gal Gadot in many aspects. The aura of Phoenix in "X-Men" is even stronger than Gale. · Gadot.

Famke Janssen is 23 years old and comes from a Dutch acting family.

Simon's planned "Wonder Woman" will start shooting three years later and will be released within five years. This is actually due to the usual five-year copyright contract restrictions. So Famke Janssen is also just the right age. Five years later, she will be 28 years old. After several years of training and polishing, her appearance and aura will just reach their peak.

Erica Anderson is also a big beauty on par with Helena and Famke, but it is less famous than the former two. In Simon's memory, Erica Anderson's most famous film should be a few years later and Nicolas Cage starred in the erotic film "Love the Wild Rose".

Simon picked each other up based on a sports-style video submitted by Erica Anderson.

The last Helena Christensen, Simon is looking for the healthy and wild temperament of the Nordic girl in her, but she is actually the youngest among the three girls. She is just 20 years old this year. If she can get it Opportunity, 25 years later in five years is just right.

Six people entered the office with Simon, and the room suddenly seemed a bit crowded. The reception area was a sofa layout with one long and two singles, which could only seat five people. The other two agents moved chairs and sat next to them.

After everyone sat down, Simon looked at the three girls squeezed on the couch and said, "First of all, it's best for you not to disclose our conversation today. Anyone who can't control their words will be out."

Prior to this, various brokerage companies only submitted candidates according to the casting conditions given by Daenerys Entertainment. Although there have been speculations, there has been no definite news until now.

At this time, hearing the solemnity in Simon's tone, the three girls and their manager cheered up.

Simon said so, obviously also means that this opportunity is very rare. The three agents who closely follow the industry's dynamics have even basically made their judgments. After all, Daenerys Entertainment just announced that it has obtained the copyright of Wonder Woman some time ago.

However, after taking a few glances at their clients, the three brokers had a somewhat regretful thought in their hearts almost at the same time: I have no chest.

You know, whether it's in the comics or Linda Carter, the most well-known Wonder Woman actor in the 1970s, the chest is definitely very predictable. However, the three women in front of them seem to have no advantage in this regard.

Did you guess wrong?

Or, is Simon Westeros just into this genre?

The minds of big men are still difficult to figure out.

Simon naturally has an image of Linda Carter's Wonder Woman in his memory, but even without Gal Gadot's reference, he's not at all interested in picking an image of a large-breasted vase.

When everyone nodded to show their understanding, Simon continued: "You have probably guessed it, yes, I am indeed picking the role of Wonder Woman." Before the three girls were happy, Simon immediately added: "However, Daenerys Entertainment is not planning to start making this film in the near future, you need to wait until three years from now, if we can reach an agreement today, Daenerys Entertainment will arrange some opportunities for you in the next three years to help you practice your acting skills. Seriously Yes, you probably don't have much acting skills now."

Because they are all above-standard models, the three women are definitely not lacking in camera sense. Many Hollywood actresses will part-time actors and models in the early stages of their careers. But modeling quality and acting skills are two completely different things.

Smiling cooperatively, the three girls were more excited when they heard Simon's confirmation.

If they can choose, between actors and models, they will definitely choose the latter without hesitation. Most girls in the circle show

It will be so.

After all, what models eat is a mouthful of youthful rice. Except for the few who became famous as supermodels, most models often retire before the age of 30. They either find a man with good conditions to marry and become a housewife, or turn to other Profession.

In contrast, the actor is a long-term job.

As long as you can successfully enter this circle, even if you can only become a second- and third-tier actor who occasionally plays some supporting roles, it is definitely much better than ordinary well-known models. The fame that comes with being an actress can in turn prolong their careers in fashion and give them more opportunities.

What's more, the salary difference between the two is also very obvious.

Therefore, most models in the fashion world have tried to break into Hollywood.

Michael Fox's "Road to Development" last year, just a few scenes with no lines at the beginning, brought together Cindy Crawford and other top fashion models. In contrast, Hollywood A-listers will obviously not be so self-deprecating in reverse.

After a brief introduction of the situation, Simon talked about the specific details: "If there is no problem on your side, we can sign an agreement recently, and the three of you need to follow the arrangements of Daenerys Entertainment for the next few years."

The three girls all paused, but this time Erica Anderson, who has always been more restrained among the three girls, spoke up: "Simon, after three years, what if we don't get the chance?"

"Even if you can't play Diana Prince, you still need a lot of Amazons in Wonder Woman, and, after the next three years, I believe that as long as you don't slack off, you'll have enough to gain a foothold in Hollywood. , even if you continue to return to the fashion industry, there will be no problem." Simon said, remembering one thing, and said to Erica Anderson: "Did you just get a role in the new line "Elder Street 5" recently? ?"

Erica Anderson nodded, not expecting Simon to know this.

"Put it off," Simon said, receiving confirmation from Erica Anderson, "The Elm Street series is not very high-profile, and it's not the protagonist. It doesn't do you any good to be in a movie like this."

Although it was only a small role of the female protagonist's best friend in "Monster Street 5", and the death was a bit tragic in the end, but it was also hard to win by herself, Erica Anderson couldn't help but look at her agent.

The girl's agent was obviously very decisive and said, "Mr. Westeros, after the meeting, we will contact the New Line and push the role away."

The agent said, looking at Erica Anderson with some disappointment, feeling that the girl was a little petty.

Just kidding.

Compared with the opportunity given by Simon Westeros, even if the protagonist of "On Elm Street 5" does not change, is this still a consideration?

Simon just nodded, continued to chat some details with the three girls, and sent them away.

After sending off the group, Jennifer walked in with a cardboard box, which contained a stack of documents and seven or eight boxes of videotapes: "Boss, this was sent by Mr. Deutschman, he recently picked Some project scripts and dailies from independent studios."

Simon casually put a business card that Helena Christensen secretly left for him on the desk, looked at the female assistant whose eyes floated to his hand and quickly averted, smiled and took out a copy from the cardboard box. Opening the script, he tapped on his right hand and said, "Come on."

Jennifer stood opposite Simon, blushing slightly, and said, "No."

"Should I go over?"

"I'm going back to work."

As Jennifer said, she stepped back slightly, but suddenly stepped forward. Simon thought she was going to do something across the table, and as soon as she looked up from the script, the female assistant had already walked out.

Simon was a little puzzled, his eyes swept left and right, only to find that the business card he just put down was gone.

With just a smile, Simon refocused on the script in front of him.

A moment later, Simon had just focused his attention on the script in front of him, when the office door was knocked again, and Amy Pascal walked in.

After getting along for a long time, Simon didn't get too polite with Amy, just nodded at her and asked, "How was the talk with Wes?"

Amy sat down opposite Simon, shook his head and said, "Paramount offered a contract of $6 million base salary plus a 10% profit share of the project. I talked to Wes, and he hopes to get it in the sequel of "Scream" Same treatment."

For the first "Scream", Wes Craven was paid $5 million by a top-tier first-line director, but this accounted for half of the project budget, and the actors in the film were only rookie prices.

For the next two sequels, Simon actually plans to double his budget. However, although Amy did not explain the specific details of the 10% profit sharing, Simon immediately refused.

Take the first "Scream", the North American box office is counted as 100 million US dollars, then, with the operation of overseas markets, video tapes, TV broadcasts and other omni-channel operations, this project can at least bring no less than Daenerys Entertainment. $100 million in net profit. Even if Wes Craven is asking for a share of this part of the net profit, a 10% share, it will reach $10 million.

If Wes Craven is indispensable to "Scream", Simon is willing to pay even the $16 million in base salary. After all, the profits made by Daenerys Entertainment are still very considerable.

However, for a teenage horror film with a fixed routine, Wes Craven is not indispensable. Simon doesn't

Will pay a hefty directorial salary of $16 million equivalent to an additional horror film budget.

After thinking for a moment, Simon said: "Two sequels, $15 million, this is an offer from Daenerys Entertainment. You talk to Wes again, if he doesn't want to, it's over."

The two "Scream" sequels cost an average of $7.5 million each, which is equivalent to a 50% salary increase based on the first film, which is already very good for a horror film director.

After all, horror movies seem to be able to make a big difference, but there are actually more projects that fail. Hollywood has one or two big box-office horror movies a year, which is already very good, but there are definitely more than one or two hundred low-cost horror movies that are unknown and even flow directly to the video tape market.

Amy's mind is actually the same as Simon's.

Wes Craven is by no means essential to Scream. Just like the "On Elm Street" series he created for New Line Cinema a few years ago, Wes Craven only directed the first part of "On Elm Street", and then the two sides also did not agree on the salary of the sequel. S Craven chose to leave, but the "Nightmare Street" series was not affected by this, and the box office of several consecutive sequels was higher than that of the other.

Looking at the conditions given by Paramount, the base salary of $6 million plus 10% of the film's profit share. If calculated according to "Scream", this remuneration is indeed very high, but what about "Scream"?

Wes Craven's previous films have the best box-office performance of more than $25 million for the first "Nightmare Street", and the other films are within $20 million at the box office. This is actually the limitation of horror films. sex.

Calculated at this level, the additional sharing clause of the contract will not be much at all. If the project budget is too high, such as $20 million and $20 million at the box office, there will be basically no profit at all.

In comparison, Simon's $15 million for the two "Scream" sequels is definitely very sincere.

It's just that, thinking about Wes Craven's choices in the previous "Nightmare Street" series, I don't know if he will be smart enough. If Wes Craven chooses to cooperate with Paramount, once the next project is unsatisfactory, his worth will drop again immediately, and Daenerys Entertainment will definitely not wait for him to return to continue to take over "Scream" "sequel.
