"By the way, Tom, the "Tropic Thunder" produced by DreamWorks released by Paramount should be released soon, right?" Simon and Tom Cruise were sitting at a table and asked about the Tom Cruise film. Movies that sacrifice appearance.

"It's going to be released in August, and I'm just making a cameo appearance. At present, Paramount's key project is "Indiana Jones 4: Crystal Skull" to be released this month," said Tom Cruise's previous unhappy relationship with Paramount. Slowly making up, "Tropical Thunder" is the beginning.

"Indiana Jones 4 directed by Steven Spielberg, I know that it will be released on 5.22. Such a big restarted IP has a very high degree of attention. Steve Spielberg and Harrison Ford The combination can indeed attract a lot of people into the cinema.” Simon also attaches great importance to this film, a rare series of Paramount films, but because the producer is Lucasfilm, Paramount can It's not much cheap.

Similar to Twentieth Century Fox's release of Lucasfilm's "Star Wars" series, the initiative is in Lucasfilm's hands.

"The United Artists Film Investment Fund, which was previously supported by Merrill Lynch, cannot be used casually. It seems that the market situation next year is not optimistic." Tom Cruise still holds the title of creative production director of United Artists. The situation is still known.

"In the current situation on Wall Street, a large number of funds are withdrawing from Hollywood. This is also impossible," Simon said, looking at Tom Cruise and smiling:

"Tom, your movie shouldn't worry about no investors, right?"

No matter how the economic situation changes, there will always be a large number of investors holding money, and Hollywood will work as well, but the number of movies will be reduced.

The most influential people are of course the people in the entertainment industry below. Of course, the stars of the upper class in Hollywood are not worried about projects.

Tom Cruise's image has changed a lot in the past two years, and the low point in 2006 seems to be gradually disappearing. Tom Cruise's good popularity in Hollywood also played a big role in promoting, producers, directors, screenwriters, actors, etc. all helped him.

Especially when the Screenwriters Guild went on strike, United Artists, which Tom Cruise and his partner Paula Wagner controlled, were the first to contact the Screenwriters Guild to agree to their terms, and won a lot of goodwill.

However, Lianmei at that time was originally an empty shell, and there was no Xinghai Film Industry that could independently produce films as influential.

After all, there are only a few people left in Lianmei. It is just a production label under MGM. It is famous for its film library and its long history.

"Right now, I only have one project, Action Target Hitler. MGM has changed the schedule a few times, and it will be released this year's Christmas schedule," Tom Cruise laughed.

"Also, at least you can grab the biggest box office." Simon also agrees with MGM's arrangement. After all, box office interests are the first. The distribution rights of MGM's ace series "007" are now in the hands of Sony Columbia. where.

"By the way, I heard that Paula Wagner, your partner who has worked with you for many years, is about to leave Cruise Wagner Pictures?" Simon asked suddenly.

Tom Cruise nodded helplessly and said, "It's true, Paula really wants to leave the Cruise Wagner Films we created together this year, and it will be announced when the "Action Target Hitler" is released! "

"Actually, Paula was also the leader of my entry into the entertainment industry. When I came to the west coast from the east coast, Paula signed me. As my agent, it has helped me a lot along the way."

Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner have indeed worked together for many years, starting with the actor and agent relationship, and later founded Cruise Wagner Films together after Tom Cruise became famous.

"What about Lianmei? Will she still be the CEO of Lianmei?" Simon continued to ask.

Tom Cruise shook his head and seemed to know the old partner very well. He smiled and said, "No, she should become an independent producer. Of course, my partnership with her will not change. On the side of the US Film Industry, we will all quit!"

MGM is a bunch of messes, and United Pictures is not worthy of its name. After Paula Wagner quits Cruise Wagner Pictures, Tom Cruise will also participate in some movies in the name of Cruise Pictures in the future. production.

"Cruise Wagner Films has already released a remake of the movie "Damn" that has participated in the investment and production at the beginning of this year. It seems that there is also a remake of the old movie "Death Speed". "Death on the Run," starring Jason Statham, will be released this year.

"Yes, it is the remake of Sylvester Stallone's "Death Drive" in the 1970s, which was originally to be released by Paramount. After selecting Paul Anderson as the film director last year, Paramount let the project To Universal Pictures, Paula is the producer, and it will be released in North America on 8.22." Tom Cruise is still very clear about the films his company is involved in. Although the producer is Paula Wagner, he is also concerned about it, after all Cruise Wagner Pictures also has some investments that are not.

Simon nodded, Paul Anderson is the husband of the director of the "Resident Evil" series and the biochemical goddess of war Milla Jovovich.

Then, when it was time for Tom Cruise to take the stage, the two stopped talking.

Sarah Bradner has been keeping an eye on all the celebrities at the prom, but she's also keeping an eye on Simon Pike.

After seeing him and Tom Cruise talking about things, he whispered: "Simon, I am so happy today, there are really a lot of celebrities here!"

Simon smiled, patted the back of the girl's hand, and nodded: "Actually, I don't know much about many fashion elements, and I'm surprised to see those strange shapes."

The scene of the charity ball at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is really full of too many eye-catching alternative fashion art, not only ordinary people can't accept it, it is estimated that some people in the fashion industry can't stand it.

"Actually, fashion is also about attracting people in many aspects, without considering whether it is suitable for daily life. Designers design unique clothes for the sake of being famous!" Sarah Bradna has been a model for several years. A lot is still known about these aspects.

Simon nodded, and suddenly saw George Clooney in the distance. He remembered a previous script. Jason Reitman, the director of "Juno", sent a script called "In the Clouds". George Clooney was cast as the male lead, but the script was rewritten to write the lead role based on Steve Martin.

"Boring people!" Simon murmured in his heart. Jason Reitman became famous when he collaborated with him in "Juno", and only one comedy film "Thank You for Smoking" was released after that.
