Burbank.
A screening room in Warner studios.
Until the end of the film subtitles, everyone in the screening room is still immersed in just two hours of shocking visual journey.
This is the first internal audition of the first Batman Series, officially named "Batman: the moment of war", after the completion of the film. Warner Bros. and Denise entertainment all attended the audition, and even Steve Ross flew over from the east coast.
After the unexpected end of the film, the lights come on, and Steve Ross, who sits side by side with Simon, takes the lead in clapping.
In the bright light, people with different looks of admiration, aftertaste, surprise and shock still responded. None of them posed to please Simon. The more people who have a deep understanding of the film, the more they can understand the breakthrough created by the superhero film they just saw. Many amazing details in the film have never appeared in previous Hollywood movies.
It can be said that the last time we had such a shock, it was probably only George Lucas's star wars.
At this time, everyone has an idea that Simon westero's Batman will definitely become the target of Hollywood action movies for many years to follow.
In addition to a series of amazing technical details, the plot of the film is also in one go.
Simon's final cut took 138 minutes.
Before watching the film, some people thought that such a long time needed to continue to be compressed. Now, no one has this idea again.
From the beginning of the film, the compact plot of the whole film has always been firmly in control of the audience's eyes. When the subtitles rise, most people's first feeling is just endless. The last egg of the subtitles just reminds the audience of their desire for the sequel.
When the applause stopped, Steve Ross said to Simon, "I think the sequel can start now."
Simon said: "in fact, from the beginning of the first project, the sequel has been planned."
"I can't wait to see the second one," Steve Ross said with a smile, remembering the last egg
So chatting, the staff showed you a few posters about the theme of the film. After a brief discussion, they left the screening room.
It's almost noon.
In the afternoon, the distribution teams of the two companies held a publicity meeting for Batman. Simon had other things to do and didn't plan to attend in person. Robert rem, who was in charge of this, went to the parking lot side by side with Steve Ross.
Because it was a working day, passers-by on both sides of the road nodded to the two men from time to time.
After a few words, Steve Ross added, "well, Simon, congratulations on becoming the richest man in the union."
Steve Ross called on the day Forbes magazine was released last Saturday.
Simon just nodded and said, "thank you."
Steve Ross asked, "so what are you going to do next?"
"Next, I want to take a year off, let go of company affairs, be a spectator as much as possible, sort out some things and learn something."
Steve Ross was stunned. In fact, he wanted to lead the topic to another place. After listening to Simon's words, he quickly agreed: "that's good, Simon. You have achieved the goal that most people can't achieve in their lifetime. You really should stop and think about it carefully."
Simon said with a bitter smile: "however, it's easy to say. It's not so easy to really stop."
Not to mention anything else, Simon has to spend a lot of time at the helm of the 10 Movie plans he started a while ago. What's more, there are many other things in the plan that need to be implemented in the next year.
When Janet heard that Simon was going to take a long vacation, she said that he probably didn't want to let go, but that's true.
Steve Ross laughed and nodded his head with the same feeling. He said, "you're still young. You still have a chance to let go. Moreover, if you want to continue to expand your business, you must also learn to let go. One can't take everything into consideration after all. "
Simon nodded seriously and asked, "where's your side?"
Steve Ross knew what Simon was asking, and said: "Paramount's attempt to prove that time changed its acquisition plan for Warner Bros. to resist their offer was also rejected by the judge. Unless they can produce new evidence, the case will be closed by the end of the month."
Paramount communications, Time Inc. and Warner Brothers filed a lawsuit. Paramount's initial reason was to protect the interests of shareholders, and provided some documents to prove that time Inc. was the acquiree in the merger of time and Warner. Once this accusation was supported by the Delaware court, paramount could participate in the bidding for Time Inc.
Unfortunately, the accusation was rejected because of insufficient evidence.Recently, paramount has put forward new evidence that time and Warner Bros. adjust the acquisition plan to resist Paramount's offer.
In fact, this is a fact that can be seen by all discerning people, but in court, paramount is doomed to be difficult to prove it. After all, it is impossible for time and Warner Bros. executives to admit that the change of acquisition strategy is to resist Paramount's offer.
As long as time and Warner brothers come up with some high sounding excuses to refute, paramount is doomed to fail.
They came to the parking lot and went to a restaurant near Warner studios for lunch.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, after lunch, Simon and Steve Ross had just walked out of the restaurant when the flash light came on not far away.
These days, the media talk about Simon winning the richest man in the Federation seems to be boiling, and there is also a "psychic class" fraud. Although Simon's pace of life is step-by-step, there are many paparazzi around him to take pictures of the daily life of the new richest man in the Federation.
"Simon, seriously, as long as Warner is involved in the field, we have the possibility of cooperation."
"I will, Steve."
After the two said goodbye, Simon could not help but consider Steve Roth's invitation for more in-depth cooperation at lunch.
It's not just DC. Simon is very interested in many of Warner's assets, such as Warner's cable TV operating system and HBO, which is still in the hands of time.
The future of Hollywood is the world of comprehensive media groups. If danielis entertainment does not have its own TV network, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the media field in the future. Therefore, Simon has been considering setting foot in the TV field during this period.
However, Warner is not the best partner for the time being.
Simon's mobile phone rings as he drives to Fox Studios in Beverly Hills Century City for the audition of the hero of sleeping with the enemy in the afternoon.
Jennifer is calling from Santa Monica. She says it's Christopher skass, chairman of Australia's qintex group. She wants to invite Simon to dinner.
Simon also heard about MGM's attempt to buy an Australian company these days. He didn't have much relevant information in his memory. He mentioned it when talking with Janet. The next day, the woman told him not to pay attention to it and sent him a piece of information.
Qintex group is a comprehensive investment company headquartered in Brisbane, Australia, some of which are similar to Westeros, and have been involved in media, hotel, retail, tourism and other businesses.
However, according to the information from Janet, qintex group's debt ratio has reached a very dangerous level in recent years because of its rapid expansion. As long as it meets some conditions, it may go bankrupt and can't afford to buy MGM group with us $1 billion.
Kristof skass, chairman of qintex, had a plan in his mind that he wanted to get some unknown capital to partner with him, and wanted to take over the White Wolf empty handed.
Janet also called to convey her father's comments on Christopher SCASS, who is likely to go to jail in the next few years for failing to pay off the loan and using too many illegal means.
On the phone, he told Jennifer to refuse the invitation. Simon got off at the parking lot of Fox Studios and was about to go to the administration building. Behind him came a female voice: "Simon."
Looking around, the first thing that attracted Simon's attention was his four long legs stretched in white jeans.
These are two women. One is Jerry Hall who said hello to Simon at the last Columbia film party. The other Simon also knows. Her name is Ella McPherson. She is one of the most famous supermodels in North America in recent years. She also has a nickname of "the body", which shows her evil figure.
The two women soon came near, probably noticing Simon's eyes just now, with a smile on their faces.
Simon reached out to Jerry hall and said, "you two should stop running around. If you walk in the street like this, many people will bump into the lamp posts."
"You're such a bully, Simon. You're afraid you'll hit a post and you won't let us go out on the street," said Jerry hall, shaking Simon's hand with a smile and saying, "this is Ella McPherson."
"Hello, Miss McPherson."
"Good afternoon, Mr. westlow. Nice to meet you."
Ella MacPherson responded with restraint, looking curiously at the man in front of her.
Simon shook hands with Ella McPherson, turned to Jerry hall and said, "Why are you here?"
"I came to audition for a small role, and I happened to meet Ella," said Jerry hall
"It's over?"
"Yes, I'm going to go shopping together to see if there will be a man hitting the post."
"Maybe even women can."
"Ha ha," Jerry Hall said with a smile, "and you, Simon?""Same, audition."
"Then you must be auditioning someone else."
"You are so beautiful and smart, I won't praise you any more."
"No, I don't want to. I'll probably faint if I'm praised by westero again."
After a few words of joking, Simon raised his wrist, looked at his watch and said, "well, I'll talk when I'm free."
Jerry hall hesitated and said, "Simon, when are you finished?"
"There are so many things. Maybe I can't finish without sleeping."
"In that case, why don't you have coffee later?"
"I'm afraid not. There are too many paparazzi around recently. It's not good to be photographed."
"It's just coffee. It's not a date."
"It's a pity paparazzi don't think so."
Jerry hall didn't have too much entanglement. He just nodded regretfully.
Simon was about to leave when Ella McPherson, who had just not spoken, suddenly said, "Mr. westrow, can we come over and see how you auditioned?"
Simon pauses, looks at Ella McPherson, and says, "otherwise, there will be a party in cold water canyon on Saturday night, hosted by Jonathan Friedman, President of wma. You can come over. By the way, have you signed an actor contract? "
"Recently, it happened to be in wma."
Simon guessed that Jonathan was probably following ICM's strategy of expanding its business to the fashion industry, nodded and said, "that's just right. If you are free, I'll call Jonathan and prepare two invitation letters for you."
"That's a deal," agreed Ella McPherson, quickly taking a business card out of her satchel and saying, "Mr. westlow, this is my contact information."
Simon took the card from the woman and put it away. Finally, he nodded goodbye to the two women and walked to the administration building.
The four autumn fashion weeks have already opened. This year's Milan Fashion Week will open on September 22. Gucci's spring and summer fashion show of 1990 will be arranged on September 23. Simon and Jennie will probably rush to Europe on September 20 and start Simon's vacation at the same time.
Today is still September 13, Wednesday, and there is still a week to go.
The original plan was to take a break after Batman was finished, but in fact, it's hard to be satisfied.
"Pretty girl" has been finished and has entered the later stage. "Ghost" and "Ninja Turtle" are both in the process of intense shooting. Simon can't ignore them completely. The key project of gaomen film industry next year, the intersection of life, also needs Simon's attention. In addition, the four films "sleeping with the enemy", "shaking the cradle's hand", "ten days in danger" and "the pink alliance", which are scheduled to be released next year, all need Simon to take the helm in person. Considering the upcoming operation of the North American bond market in October, Simon's so-called "vacation" is hardly worthy of the name.
What's more, it's based on Simon's complete letting go of Denise's entertainment TV business.
In September, four blockbuster reality shows "who's going to be a millionaire", "Survivor", "big brother" and "Beverly's wife" produced by danielis TV company have been released one after another. In addition, there are six TV series projects, all of which fall on Robert egger.
Fortunately, all four reality shows laid a good foundation last year. Robert egger will not screw up as long as he doesn't mess up.
Simon was very relieved of Robert egger.
As for the TV drama business, Simon can't spare any energy to take care of it. Although he expects Robert egger to bring him some surprises, he doesn't expect much.
Simon continued to be busy in the public opinion of becoming the richest man in the Federation, looking forward to his trip to Europe in late September. However, just at the beginning of the new week, the dispute between Denise entertainment and Whitney Houston over the signing of record company allista records has once again become the focus of media attention.

Kristof skass, chairman of qintex, had a plan in his mind that he wanted to get some unknown capital to partner with him, and wanted to take over the White Wolf empty handed. Janet also called to convey her father's comments on Christopher SCASS, who is likely to go to jail in the next few years for failing to pay off the loan and using too many illegal means. On the phone, he told Jennifer to refuse the invitation. Simon got off at the parking lot of Fox Studios and was about to go to the administration building. Behind him came a female voice: "Simon." Looking around, the first thing that attracted Simon's attention was his four long legs stretched in white jeans. These are two women. One is Jerry Hall who said hello to Simon at the last Columbia film party. The other Simon also knows. Her name is Ella McPherson. She is one of the most famous supermodels in North America in recent years. She also has a nickname of "the body", which shows her evil figure. The two women soon came near, probably noticing Simon's eyes just now, with a smile on their faces. Simon reached out to Jerry hall and said, "you two should stop running around. If you walk in the street like this, many people will bump into the lamp posts." "You're such a bully, Simon. You're afraid you'll hit a post and you won't let us go out on the street," said Jerry hall, shaking Simon's hand with a smile and saying, "this is Ella McPherson." "Hello, Miss McPherson." "Good afternoon, Mr. westlow. Nice to meet you." Ella MacPherson responded with restraint, looking curiously at the man in front of her. Simon shook hands with Ella McPherson, turned to Jerry hall and said, "Why are you here?" "I came to audition for a small role, and I happened to meet Ella," said Jerry hall "It's over?" "Yes, I'm going to go shopping together to see if there will be a man hitting the post." "Maybe even women can." "Ha ha," Jerry Hall said with a smile, "and you, Simon?""Same, audition." "Then you must be auditioning someone else." "You are so beautiful and smart, I won't praise you any more." "No, I don't want to. I'll probably faint if I'm praised by westero again." After a few words of joking, Simon raised his wrist, looked at his watch and said, "well, I'll talk when I'm free." Jerry hall hesitated and said, "Simon, when are you finished?" "There are so many things. Maybe I can't finish without sleeping." "In that case, why don't you have coffee later?" "I'm afraid not. There are too many paparazzi around recently. It's not good to be photographed." "It's just coffee. It's not a date." "It's a pity paparazzi don't think so." Jerry hall didn't have too much entanglement. He just nodded regretfully. Simon was about to leave when Ella McPherson, who had just not spoken, suddenly said, "Mr. westrow, can we come over and see how you auditioned?" Simon pauses, looks at Ella McPherson, and says, "otherwise, there will be a party in cold water canyon on Saturday night, hosted by Jonathan Friedman, President of wma. You can come over. By the way, have you signed an actor contract? " "Recently, it happened to be in wma." Simon guessed that Jonathan was probably following ICM's strategy of expanding its business to the fashion industry, nodded and said, "that's just right. If you are free, I'll call Jonathan and prepare two invitation letters for you." "That's a deal," agreed Ella McPherson, quickly taking a business card out of her satchel and saying, "Mr. westlow, this is my contact information." Simon took the card from the woman and put it away. Finally, he nodded goodbye to the two women and walked to the administration building. The four autumn fashion weeks have already opened. This year's Milan Fashion Week will open on September 22. Gucci's spring and summer fashion show of 1990 will be arranged on September 23. Simon and Jennie will probably rush to Europe on September 20 and start Simon's vacation at the same time. Today is still September 13, Wednesday, and there is still a week to go. The original plan was to take a break after Batman was finished, but in fact, it's hard to be satisfied. "Pretty girl" has been finished and has entered the later stage. "Ghost" and "Ninja Turtle" are both in the process of intense shooting. Simon can't ignore them completely. The key project of gaomen film industry next year, the intersection of life, also needs Simon's attention. In addition, the four films "sleeping with the enemy", "shaking the cradle's hand", "ten days in danger" and "the pink alliance", which are scheduled to be released next year, all need Simon to take the helm in person. Considering the upcoming operation of the North American bond market in October, Simon's so-called "vacation" is hardly worthy of the name. What's more, it's based on Simon's complete letting go of Denise's entertainment TV business. In September, four blockbuster reality shows "who's going to be a millionaire", "Survivor", "big brother" and "Beverly's wife" produced by danielis TV company have been released one after another. In addition, there are six TV series projects, all of which fall on Robert egger. Fortunately, all four reality shows laid a good foundation last year. Robert egger will not screw up as long as he doesn't mess up. Simon was very relieved of Robert egger. As for the TV drama business, Simon can't spare any energy to take care of it. Although he expects Robert egger to bring him some surprises, he doesn't expect much. Simon continued to be busy in the public opinion of becoming the richest man in the Federation, looking forward to his trip to Europe in late September. However, just at the beginning of the new week, the dispute between Denise entertainment and Whitney Houston over the signing of record company allista records has once again become the focus of media attention.
