Courteney just stood by Simon's side and looked at his paintings with some restraint, but Christy leaned over without shyness, and stuck to Simon's side. A strand of beautiful blond hair dangled in Simon's peripheral vision, looking at him while painting. Said: "No, we are going to go to a party, Simon, why don't you come too?"

Simon was noncommittal, continued to draw, and asked, "What party?"

"Held by Matthew to celebrate the box-office hit of his starring in "The Genius." Oh, Matthew Broderick, you know what?"

Simon nodded. Although he has the memories of twelve other people, in order to fully increase his understanding of Hollywood in this era, he has been reading Hollywood's two ace paper media "Variety" and "The Hollywood Reporter" all this time. , so you know what's going on right now.

This summer, the most watched movie in Hollywood is undoubtedly Tom Cruise's "Top Gun." The film, which was released in mid-May, has grossed $75 million in less than two months.

In Hollywood in the 1980s, the comprehensive distribution model of rolling out thousands of screens at one time has not yet emerged. The mainstream distribution method of major film companies is still a combination of long-term distribution and multiple rounds of screenings.

The basic characteristics of this traditional distribution model are that the opening scale is small and the show time is long.

Even for "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" three years ago, the number of opening screens was only a little over 1,000. But on the other hand, as long as it is a popular hot film, it can basically be released in North American theaters for more than half a year.

"Top Gun" also opened with a screen count of about 1,000, and it achieved a box office of 75 million US dollars in less than two months after its release, temporarily ranking first in the North American box office chart in 1986.

According to the usual box office curve of long-running screenings and the current popularity of "Top Gun", the film can make at least another $75 million at the box office during its screening time in the next few months.

Last year, only three films in Hollywood achieved a domestic box office of over 100 million. "Top Gun" is expected to have a total North American box office of more than 150 million US dollars, and it has almost locked in the 1986 annual box office champion.

And that's true, as Simon well remembers, Top Gun's final North American box office was $179 million, topping the 1986 North American box office charts.

Relying on the popularity of "Top Gun", Tom Cruise has successfully advanced from a popular Hollywood niche to a world-class movie superstar.

In addition to "Top Gun", the campus comedy "The Genius of Skipping Class" released in June, with a production cost of 6 million US dollars, has achieved a box office of more than 30 million US dollars in just three weeks, which also belongs to the box office of this summer season. dark horse.

In the next few months, even if the total box office of "The Genius of Skipping Class" cannot exceed 100 million, it is very hopeful that it will squeeze into the top ten of this year's North American box office.

Simon is not familiar with Matthew Broderick, the protagonist of "The Genius of Skipping Class". Except for the current movie, he probably only remembers that the other party is the protagonist of the 1998 Hollywood version of "Godzilla" in the original time and space, and , the "Godzilla" that year brought almost all of the negative effects to the main creators, and the acting careers of the male and female protagonists were also greatly affected.

However, Simon was very concerned about the film "The Genius of Skipping Class" at this time, because the director of the film was named John Hughes, the famous screenwriter of "Home Alone".

Simon naturally didn't want to miss a super-smashing work like "Home Alone" that made nearly $500 million at the global box office in the early 1990s.

Chatting with the two girls beside him at will, and finishing the drawing in his hand, Simon plans to leave and return to the hotel. He is not interested in the parties that Westerners are keen on. What's more, it must be late at night after the party. Although downtown Santa Monica is relatively safe, Simon has no car. If he walks alone at night, he will not meet him. What an unexpected situation.

However, Christie didn't let Simon go, forcibly dragged him into Courteney's white sedan, and at the end secretly made a 'you owe me once' expression to Simon, apparently confirming that he had a crush on Ke Tenny has thoughts of ideas.

Since she got in the car, Courteney did not show a refusal, and Simon agreed.

The party location is at the Airship Bar near Santa Monica Beach.

The three took Courteney's white car to the outside of the bar. As night fell, there was a long queue at the entrance of the bar.

Christie stepped forward and said a few words to the tall doorman. The doorman flipped through the list in his hand, checked the three's driver's licenses, and put a stamp on the backs of Simon and Christy's hands, who were under the drinking age, before letting the three of them in.

Simon then learned that Christie also played a small role in "The Genius of Skipping Class", and today was officially invited, unlike the men and women who lined up outside the door hoping to enter the Hollywood social circle.

Walking along the corridor all the way into the bar lobby, Simon found that the oval layout of the lobby is indeed just like its "airship" name, and the decoration is also full of technology.

At this time, the hall was already crowded with young people, the lights were flickering, and the music was deafening.

Christie didn't immediately join the carnival crowd, but first led Simon and Courteney to the other side of the bar as directed by a waiter, where the hero of the party tonight was there.

After a half-circle in the crowded oval hall, the three found a few people sitting and chatting at a round table in the depths of the bar.

young men and women.

A few people around the round table saw someone coming, but they didn't want to get up. Christie reached out to a boy with a tender face, shook it, and said with a smile, "Matthew, congratulations. Also, this is me. Friends, Curt, Simon."

After Christie finished speaking, Simon and Courteney also stepped forward and shook hands with each other. Matthew Broderick was still sitting, and while shaking hands with the two of them, although he smiled, he was also obviously cold.

After a brief greeting, the three of them decided to leave after seeing Matthew Broderick's indifference and not even knowing the exact names of Simon and Courteney. However, just as he was about to move, a boy sitting across from Matthew Broderick gave Christie a look and pulled a chair from beside him.

"Hey, let's go and play, I'll chat with Matthew and the others for a while," Christie said, her lost expression immediately disappeared, and she said something to Simon and Courteney, and when they both walked away, she sat down with a smile Come over and said, "So, what are you talking about?"

"Matthew's new movie," replied the boy beside Christy, handing her a bottle of drink, then looking at Matthew Broderick who was opposite, and asked as if he had forgotten his words: "That, called what's coming?"

"The Butterfly Effect, a very cool script," Matthew Broderick's tone became active without outsiders around, "Do you know what the Butterfly Effect means?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Actually, I'm not too sure," Matthew said, and in the laughter of everyone's cooperation, he said: "However, several high-level executives in wma now value this script very much, and they are still planning to make it a part of wma. Package the project, like caa."

The girl next to Matthew Broderick saw that he had been walking around, and pretended to hold his arm and shook it in dissatisfaction, and said, "Matthew, what kind of story is that?"

"This," Matthew enjoyed the coquettishness of the girl next to him, but shook his head and said, "I can't say it for the time being, you will definitely know it after a while. Besides, there are many young characters in the script, and you also have the opportunity to participate. Audition, then maybe I can help."

The crowd crowded around Matthew Broderick, and they were naturally looking forward to this kind of opportunity. Therefore, when they heard his last words, their expressions became more eager and flattering.

Christie also interjected at this time and asked, "Matthew, when will the film start?"

"The project is still being coordinated, and it should be introduced to the studio soon," Matthew Broderick glanced at Christie's pretty face and said, "Also, Norman feels that there are too few scenes in the script that belong to me. , he wants the screenwriter to rewrite the script. In short, everyone knows that a good movie can't be so easy to complete."

Everyone nodded and said yes, and at the same time, some people looked envious because of a certain name mentioned in Matthew's words lightly.

The Norman Matthew just mentioned, named Norman Broca, is his agent, and he is also one of the legendary Hollywood agents. Many years ago, Norman Broca represented a legendary star like Marilyn Monroe.

Since the two veterans of wma passed away one after another in the first half of the year, Norman Broca, who just turned 60 this year, has successfully become the president of this brokerage industry giant with his many years of experience in wma.

Several of the people here are all in Hollywood and have their own good agents.

However, everyone knows that if they can find an agent like Norman Broca, their acting career will definitely be smooth. Matthew Broderick was also born in an acting family, so he was able to sign with Norman Broca at a young age.

The crowd held Matthew Broderick in the center and were chatting. Suddenly there was some commotion on the dance floor not far away. Accompanied by the lively roar, a small space was quickly vacated on the dance floor, depending on the situation. It seems that someone is fighting.

Someone was making trouble at his own celebration party, and Matthew Broderick's face suddenly became uneasy. He got up and walked towards the dance floor with a sullen expression.

Approaching the dance floor, Christie recognized the two figures in the center of the commotion, and her beautiful face suddenly became bitter.
