"I'm sorry, Mr. Pike!" Simon was suddenly accidentally touched by a woman's arm.

"Well, it doesn't matter!" Simon looked at Jennifer Lawrence standing in front of him? A face with a little baby fat, a pair of anxious and hopeful eyes.

Simon understood this situation too well, shook his head and left, leaving a helpless Jennifer Lawrence staring at Simon's back in a daze alone.

Simon came to the open-air balcony outside the banquet hall to take a breath. Although Mark Muller is the chairman of the Venice Film Festival, he does not have many resources. As an Italian, of course, he hopes that local films will go global.

Although Mark Mueller is not well-known, as the chairman of the Venice Film Festival always has some say, and if necessary, he can of course operate on the awards.

However, the awards are not important. Simon is just looking for fun for Weinstein Pictures and a chance to compete. Does Mark Muller dare not give himself face to praise that fat man?

"Hey, fighting with people is really fun!" Simon murmured to himself while looking at the night scene.

"Hey, Mr. Pike, good evening! Congratulations," Charlize Theron in a **** black off-the-shoulder low-cut evening dress with blond hair appeared on the side with a smile, and won the Venice Film Festival Golden Lion Award for the film "" "Wrestling King" is produced by Xinghai Qixing Pictures.

"Charlize, it's you," Simon turned his head and saw that he and Charlize Theron had met a few times but had nothing to do with each other.

"Call me Simon," Simon still has a good impression of this Oscar-winning actress. She is beautiful, has a good figure, and has a strong temperament.

"You are so pretty tonight!"

"Thank you," Charlize Theron walked to Simon and looked at the night sky like Simon, and smiled: "Just now you didn't seem to be interested in that little girl from our crew. She is probably going to be sad for a long time."

Charlize Theron just overheard Simon rejecting Jennifer Lawrence's deliberate approach, so he asked this question.

"Really, anyway, I refuse to pick up a conversation with many people every time, I'm used to it," Simon shrugged.

"It seems that you don't have a female companion by your side, Simon!" Charlize Theron said with a little surprise, as if the Chinese girl he had taken with him had left.

"Oh," Simon smiled without saying a word, but after Tong Liya left, she was indeed alone these days.

Simon whispered close to Charlize Theron's ear: "I don't like her!"

Charlize Theron nodded, as Simon Pike, what female star can't have.

Since Charlize Theron won the Oscar for best actress in "The Devil" in 2005, the new films in recent years have not had much influence, and the action blockbuster "Magic God of War" is also a fiasco.

Several consecutive small-budget independent films have not had many waves. Last year's "Decisive Battle of Elagu" also had an investment from Summit Entertainment. This year, Summit Entertainment was acquired by Xinghai.

Simon looked at Charlize Theron's melancholy face, and knew that Charlize Theron was also cursed by the Oscar queen, commercial films had no box office, and independent films had no awards.

Do you want to be a vase in other movies after becoming an Oscar winner? Charlize Theron, who is 33 years old, has no box office movies yet!

The decreasing influence leads to bad resources. After all, there is the title of Oscar winner, so it can't be too casual.

"Your acting skills are good, and you work harder than many female stars, it's not easy!" Simon praised.

"Ah," Charlize Theron said with some relief when he heard Simon's praise as soon as he came back to his senses,

"I'm from South Africa, and my situation is not optimistic. After being a vase for many years, I came across "The Devil" and became famous. Now I'm just a little confused!"

In front of a top producer like Simon Pike, Charlize Theron has nothing to hide, and now he is indeed in a very awkward position.

Simon closed his eyes and thought about it. "Superhero Hancock" seems to be one of the few high-grossing films of Charlize Theron. If he hadn't bought the script earlier, this summer should be "Superhero Hancock". "Time to grab the box office.

"By the way, I know there is a good bar nearby, let's have a drink together?" Simon suggested looking at Charlize Theron.

"Well, okay!" Charlize Theron was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded with a smile.

At night, in a quiet bar, Simon and Charlize Theron sat together drinking and chatting.

"Recently, you seem to be focusing on independent literary and artistic films, and there seem to be fewer commercial films. Do you still want to win at the Oscars?" Simon asked as he put down his glass.

"Artistic films have greatly improved my acting skills. No matter what, I have to hone my acting skills. After all, I really love acting," Charlize Theron is famous as an Oscar-winning actress. General resources are definitely not lacking, but real commercial film resources are difficult.

Simon leaned on the sofa, closed his eyes and thought about it, Charlize Theron's future commercial blockbuster besides "Superman Hancock" and the reboot and the highly acclaimed "Mad Max 4: Fury Road" .

In the face of the increasingly competitive Hollywood entertainment industry, the resources of commercial blockbusters will always be the focus of competition for stars from all walks of life.

Of course, factors such as the popularity and influence of actors must also be considered when choosing female roles for various blockbusters, and actresses are paid much lower than male actors.

Therefore, large-scale commercial films tend to be influential and famous actresses in the selection of actresses.

Most of the actresses who have won Oscars are of course in the first echelon. Of course, there are some famous but not recognized by Oscars, and they are also very powerful.

There are many female stars, and there are also many big-name female stars, but there are only a few heroines in commercial blockbusters every year. The importance of resources is irrefutable.

"After a while, Xinghai Pictures has a project with an investment of over 100 million to start, and there is a female character that suits you very well!" Simon is not very concerned about the adaptation of "He Come Tonight" "Hancock" Familiar, but for the sake of insurance, in addition to Will Smith, Simon also wants to use Charlize Theron to avoid future accidents.

Charlize Theron's eyes lit up. In this form, various film companies are saving costs and reducing operating expenses, and companies like Xinghai Pictures are rare.

"Really?"

Simon nodded and said: "The script purchased by the company has been pre-prepared for a long time, and it will be officially launched next year!"

"The National Superman Hancock" Simon has long been ready to start, but the current project has been carried out too much, and it has been blocked.
