After lunch, Nancy didn't go to work immediately, and Simon continued to accompany her patiently.
Sitting on the sofa by the French window overlooking the cinema, she was brainwashed by someone's "fallacies". Nancy didn't continue to discuss things like work. She asked about the trivia of some men when they were in Australia. She also talked about the worries of eating too well recently and growing fat. Then she mentioned another thing: "Simon, do you think my little guy can be as smart as sear?"
Simon sat by the window with the small female executives around him. When he heard the speech, he immediately shook his head: "I don't think you should expect this."
Nancy was puzzled.
Simon explained with a bitter smile, "how to say, sear should be... Too smart. I'm so smart that I'm worried."
Nancy said with a smile, "you didn't say that before. I remember you mentioned occasionally that no matter how smart SYL is, the Westeros can provide her with enough display platform."
"I think so at first. I think many amazing talents in history will eventually become crazy because of the lack of sufficient resource platforms for them to fully display their talents. Various potential constraints that seem to be nothing to ordinary people will lead them to collapse." Simon did not deny it and said: "The problem is, as I just said, sear's intelligence is a little beyond my understanding."
Nancy blinked: "Not to mention, I know a lot of geniuses. They were born in a few months and master their mother tongue. They can be familiar with all kinds of classics at the age of one or two. They are proficient in seven or eight languages at the age of three or four. Although these are rare, they are also recorded. For example, Thomas Yang, who dared to violate each other's viewpoint of light particle in the most popular era of niudun, and put forward light wave dynamics, oh, good For example, he was just a doctor and occasionally studied privately, which almost overturned the theory of our scientific giant and was blocked. "
Simon shook his head: "What you said is still within my cognitive range. If sear is just like this, I have nothing to worry about. The problem is, for example, sear can even accurately perceive her body changes. She said that she had a acne on her chin, and she did have acne the next day. That's it. I don't remember when she could reach this level. Also, sear's thinking In her recent report, sear's math teacher, oh, was also the resignation report of the math professor from Stanford, because she said she could no longer teach my daughter. In the report, she said that sear could even use the 128 decimal counting method for direct mental operation, and her thinking on many math problems directly exceeded the usual two-dimensional and three-dimensional category, Enter a higher dimensional model. "
Nancy listened with surprise on her face and raised her hand to a little point she could understand: "128 base, is there enough characters to express this?"
Simon shrugged: "that's the difference. We stupid earth talents need symbols. Sear doesn't need them. She may just arrange the dot matrix in her mind."
Nancy was amused by Simon's statement and thought about it and said, "in this case, sear may play a key role in realizing your 3G plan."
"Jenny is happy about this," Simon did not deny it. "With regard to the goal of breaking through the life limit in the 3G plan, Jenny has been guiding sear's interest in the field of biology. However, the problem is that although sear is only 5 years old, her current thinking trend can no longer be dominated by us stupid people on earth."
Nancy imagined something and just laughed again.
Then don't expect your little guy to be like Seattle.
Just be smart.
In fact, the meal and rest for the two are only one hour. They return to work at one o'clock in the afternoon.
Simon's afternoon work is mainly about movies.
Starting from the three brands and the new line that we have just planned to support, the principals return their main film projects, the Hollywood version of love call transfer that will be released on Valentine's day recently, the later progress of films such as the matrix and the Lord of the rings, the promotion details of preparatory films such as Chicago and the law of the cider house, and so on.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, there was another production meeting with some specific project leaders.
A small conference room in Building 1 of the administrative district.
When Anthony mingra, the director of the talent Ripley, left, Simon briefly wrote down a few entries in his work log in front of him, and Ang Lee and his old partner James shams also entered the door.
After a brief greeting, he motioned them to sit down. Simon went straight to the point: "Lee, Jim, I've seen you preparing ride with the devil." Project materials, civil war themes, core, um, some complex, family, female * * * *, and homosexuality... I've seen your first draft of the script. It seems that you have great ambition and want to talk about everything. However, I imagine that the film in the future doesn't talk about anything, just like a large number of characters in the film that are difficult to impress me, Li, first of all, what do you want to express? "
Riding with the devil is another film of Ang Lee in Simon's memory, and it is a film with very low attention. It is adapted from a 1987 film about the experiences and struggles of some people in Missouri caught between the north and South camps during the American Civil War.
Simon has just seen a film.
A film of Ang Lee's style, with beautiful lens and calm narration, shows a mature sophistication, but at the same time, it changes its good style in the past and pursues a new narrative.
In addition, the cost of nearly $40 million was silent, and the box office failed very much.
Considering that the film is produced by universal pictures, universal is experiencing the turbulence of Panasonic selling and separation at the same time in the original time and space. The failure at the box office of riding with the devil is still a distribution error to a large extent. If you can have the art film operation level like Miramax and win some small awards, it will not be a problem to gain at least the box office equivalent to the cost all over the world.
That's why Simon didn't veto it directly.
In the conference room, listening to Simon's words, both of them were worried. Ang Lee thought for a moment and said, "Simon, you're right. This is a new attempt in my plan. I hope to get rid of the previous focus on people and show a panoramic world landscape of people living in the cracks of war during the American Civil War."
Simon listened carefully and didn't raise any objection, but asked: "well, the problem is that the core, Li, landscape painting also needs a core. You give me one, which can also be regarded as one for future audiences, so that they won't be confused and can't find the focus after watching the film?"
Ang Lee thought for a moment and said, "the core of growth is Jack's growth."
"Good," Simon nodded approvingly. "However, the problem is that Jack's growth track is too scattered. At least I can't see this clearly from the script. I hope you can make some modifications and new explanations. Moreover, since you want to focus on Jack's growth, the selection of this role is also very important."
Simon's words, James shams eagerly answered: "Simon, we are contacting Leonardo DiCaprio, and Leon is also very interested in this role."
Simon paused, smiled and shook his head.
That's right.
Once the hero of the film was Toby Maguire, little plum's best friend, who happened to be an actor Simon didn't feel at all. However, the actor is obviously smart in private. After little plum rose with a big ship, as Leonardo's core "Star Partner", Toby Maguire took advantage of the trend to pick up a lot of characters from the popular little plum, such as the law of the cider house, riding with the devil, and even the Spider Man Trilogy that brought Maguire's career to the top.
At that time, the press release, intentionally or unintentionally, linked Maguire's relationship with little plum. Maybe little plum didn't have time to play, so he recommended his good friend Maguire yunyun.
There are successes and failures in these films. Simon's only disadvantage happens to be the hero.
Simon doesn't like it very much.
Because Maguire is basically a kind of performance style from beginning to end. Like his good friend little plum, he plays all the roles of Toby Maguire, from the law of the cider house to spider man. He is simple and honest with cowardice, I'm not the protagonist, I'm just a supporting role of little plum that doesn't exist in the film.
Just now, he happened to discuss another apple wine house rule with Ella doichman of gaomen film. About the final role determination, Toby Maguire appeared again, Simon crossed it out directly, and reminded doichman not to let himself see the actor who has no bright spot again.
At this time, James shams said that he was in contact with little plum. Simon felt that if he didn't intervene, the result might be that little plum had no schedule, so he recommended his good friend Toby Maguire.
He shook his head slightly. Simon said, "if Leon is invited, even if he is willing to play in the way of salary reduction, the budget will probably pile up to $50 million. Jim, what do you think of the box office prospect of this film?"
James shams is also a veteran producer who can deceive investors. Without blinking an eye, he said: "Simon, if Leon can be invited and distributed properly in the future, I believe that the local revenue of 50 million will certainly not be a problem, and the world should be able to exceed 100 million. In this case, the budget of 50 million is acceptable."
Simon smiled, did not refute, thought for a moment and said, "tonadore, well, Italy, you must know that he is preparing a new film, probably to shoot his own sunny day." Last time I read the script, I discussed with him that his story is likely to fail in the hero. On the one hand, the story focuses too much on the description of the heroine. On the other hand, it is also the most important point. It is not easy to choose a successful hero. Jiang's sunny day , the key to getting the youngest Venetian film emperor is to choose the right role. I have heard some behind the scenes rumors. In the preparatory stage, Jiang's mother went to visit the class. When she saw the man, she said with surprise that it was what Jiang looked like when he was a child, from appearance to character. So, do you understand? "
They paused and nodded together.
Simon's attitude is obvious. The fame of the role is not the most important, but the suitability is the most important.
Think about the rise of daenerys entertainment for so many years. As the most powerful big studio in Hollywood, it is also the studio that pays the least attention to big stars. This does not mean the confidence brought by its own strength, but simply, in terms of film casting, only the right ones are selected, not the expensive ones.
And often can be very successful.
Simon saw the two nodding, nodded with satisfaction and said: "So, don't chase like those commercial film producers. Talk about some top stars you can't catch up with. Put aside these ideas and focus on selecting some potential new actors who are more suitable for your film. Li, Jim, I hope you can have an ambition to achieve some actors through your own film, not hope to pass through Once you have this idea, you have planted the seeds of failure for yourself. "
Simon's words fell, and James shams subconsciously agreed. Instead, Ang Lee paused, nodded, looked serious and said, "Simon, I'll remember these words."
"Well, finally..." Simon said, "as for the budget, I hope to control it at about $35 million. You two can have quite free space to play on the basis of some tendencies we just discussed."
Ang Lee and shams looked at each other and quickly nodded together.
At the same time, Simon understood that this was a direct rejection of the proposal to invite Leonardo.
However, although the full play of $35 million should still be limited to the framework of bilateral discussion, that is, from a panoramic landscape painting to a certain focus on the hero, it is also a good result.
In fact, Ang Lee was most touched by Simon's words that he wanted the film to become an actor, not an actor to make a film.
Think about it again. Leonardo, who is still firmly fixed in the halo of Titanic, is really inappropriate. Ang Lee doesn't want his audience to see the little plum in his film in the future. Instead, he thinks of the picture of the young man hugging with Rachel Weizi on the big ship.
Sending them off is another series of project creators coming and going.
Until it was close to seven o'clock in the evening.
At the end of the line, Lina Kane and Annika setel came in with their comedy project, "I'm crazy for Mary".
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

About the final role determination, Toby Maguire appeared again, Simon crossed it out directly, and reminded doichman not to let himself see the actor who has no bright spot again.At this time, James shams said that he was in contact with little plum. Simon felt that if he didn't intervene, the result might be that little plum had no schedule, so he recommended his good friend Toby Maguire.He shook his head slightly. Simon said, "if Leon is invited, even if he is willing to play in the way of salary reduction, the budget will probably pile up to $50 million. Jim, what do you think of the box office prospect of this film?"James shams is also a veteran producer who can deceive investors. Without blinking an eye, he said: "Simon, if Leon can be invited and distributed properly in the future, I believe that the local revenue of 50 million will certainly not be a problem, and the world should be able to exceed 100 million. In this case, the budget of 50 million is acceptable."Simon smiled, did not refute, thought for a moment and said, "tonadore, well, Italy, you must know that he is preparing a new film, probably to shoot his own sunny day." Last time I read the script, I discussed with him that his story is likely to fail in the hero. On the one hand, the story focuses too much on the description of the heroine. On the other hand, it is also the most important point. It is not easy to choose a successful hero. Jiang's sunny day , the key to getting the youngest Venetian film emperor is to choose the right role. I have heard some behind the scenes rumors. In the preparatory stage, Jiang's mother went to visit the class. When she saw the man, she said with surprise that it was what Jiang looked like when he was a child, from appearance to character. So, do you understand? "They paused and nodded together.Simon's attitude is obvious. The fame of the role is not the most important, but the suitability is the most important.Think about the rise of daenerys entertainment for so many years. As the most powerful big studio in Hollywood, it is also the studio that pays the least attention to big stars. This does not mean the confidence brought by its own strength, but simply, in terms of film casting, only the right ones are selected, not the expensive ones.And often can be very successful.Simon saw the two nodding, nodded with satisfaction and said: "So, don't chase like those commercial film producers. Talk about some top stars you can't catch up with. Put aside these ideas and focus on selecting some potential new actors who are more suitable for your film. Li, Jim, I hope you can have an ambition to achieve some actors through your own film, not hope to pass through Once you have this idea, you have planted the seeds of failure for yourself. "Simon's words fell, and James shams subconsciously agreed. Instead, Ang Lee paused, nodded, looked serious and said, "Simon, I'll remember these words.""Well, finally..." Simon said, "as for the budget, I hope to control it at about $35 million. You two can have quite free space to play on the basis of some tendencies we just discussed."Ang Lee and shams looked at each other and quickly nodded together.At the same time, Simon understood that this was a direct rejection of the proposal to invite Leonardo.However, although the full play of $35 million should still be limited to the framework of bilateral discussion, that is, from a panoramic landscape painting to a certain focus on the hero, it is also a good result.In fact, Ang Lee was most touched by Simon's words that he wanted the film to become an actor, not an actor to make a film.Think about it again. Leonardo, who is still firmly fixed in the halo of Titanic, is really inappropriate. Ang Lee doesn't want his audience to see the little plum in his film in the future. Instead, he thinks of the picture of the young man hugging with Rachel Weizi on the big ship.Sending them off is another series of project creators coming and going.Until it was close to seven o'clock in the evening.At the end of the line, Lina Kane and Annika setel came in with their comedy project, "I'm crazy for Mary".
