In Santa Monica, in the rental apartment in the Ocean Park area, the single mother with four children always seems busy and noisy.

Melanie Sloan has to go to work later, eat his own food quickly, and starts to tidy up the tableware without waiting for the kids to get all done. He also shouted to his twin brother who was competing for a copy of "Hollywood Reporter": "Hunt, don't snatch with Scar. If you tear the newspaper, I will tear your mouth apart. Oh, see what you are wearing, go change your clothes, the school bus will arrive soon."

"Well, the newspaper belongs to you, the upper class girl."

Hunter Johnson, wearing a funny red Christmas-style pajama, reluctantly let go of the newspaper in his hand, got up and ran to his room to change his clothes.

Since spending a huge amount of $15,000 to undergo dental surgery, Scarlett Johnson has been nicknamed "Upper Class Chicken" from his family. After all, no one is willing to spend so much money on teeth.

Scarlett doesn't care about his brother's ridicule, but likes this title very much.

She earned the money for tympanic surgery herself.

He glared at his brother who ran away with counterattack, and the girl finally could read today's "Hollywood Reporter". This is the only newspaper that the family subscribes to. If you want to make a name for yourself in Hollywood, you can't do it without paying attention to Hollywood information.

As soon as he swept the front page, Scarlett screamed in surprise: "Wow, it's so awesome. "Charlie's Angel" overcame "The Brave Game."

When his sister Vanessa heard this, she came over immediately and said, "Where will I see?"

Scarlett's fingers passed through a striking report on the front page and said: "Charlie's Angels is $170 million in three weeks, surpassing "The Brave's Game". Well, "The Brave's Game" was released for four weeks, with a box office of only $155.99 million, and "The Brave's Angels" was $170.03 million."

"It's not as good as Wonder Woman 2 anyway," said Adrian Johnson, who was one year younger than Vanessa, who sat opposite him. "The goddess must have exceeded 400 million, right?"

Scarlett searched for it and shook his head: "It's a pity, no, 398.73 million, it's still more than one million."

"Actually, I still think "The Mind Catcher" is the most powerful, with a production cost of only $10 million. This time..." Vanessa leaned closer to some of her sister's newspapers: "It's only a 11% drop, and the trend is still the best. The total box office has been 77.18 million. It is expected to be at least $150 million. Other blockbusters cannot catch up with such a return rate."

Adrian Johnson nodded: "I like "The Mind Catcher, too."

Scarlett exposes: "You like Beckinsale, right?"

"So what? When I become famous one day, maybe I can still pursue Kate."

The two sisters scoffed at the same time, and Vanessa said: "Beckinsale can act in two big-selling movies at a time. It must be Simon Westeros' lover, but it's not your turn."

Adrian was dissatisfied: "How could so many actresses in Hollywood be Simon Westeros' lovers? Moreover, Kate is only 23 years old. Have you ever heard of it? Simon Westeros likes older women, just like our mothers' age."

Melanie Sloan happened to return from the kitchen and glared at his son after hearing this: "Ed, what are you talking nonsense? After you finish eating, go and prepare for school."

"Mom, why can Vanessa drop out of school? I still have to continue? I want to drop out of school, and then go to the videotape store like Quentin Tarantino, what do you think?"

Melanie Sloan hula-tied up the dining plate and said quickly: "At least you are 16 years old, otherwise your dad will go crazy."

"He's not in Los Angeles."

"So it's even more crazy. Maybe you'll bring a gun to kill you."

The family was making noise, and the sound of the car whistle came from outside, and Scarlett immediately stood up: "Scott is here."

As he said that, he rushed to the door and looked downstairs. It was the agent Scott Lambert who had just gotten out of the car. He saw Scarlett's figure, smiled and raised his hand to greet him, and turned to the side stairs to go upstairs.

After greeting and greetings, Scott Lambert told Melanie Sloan: "Today's production conference is very important, so I came earlier."

"Oh, of course it's okay, Scott, Scarlett and Vanessa will ask you."

"This is what I should do." After the agent said, he looked at the sisters: "You'd better change into your most beautiful clothes."

As the agent said, he also gave Scarlett a tacit concealed look. The little girl also understood it instantly, and while politely asked the agent to wait, she ran to her room.

During this period, the agent gradually brought Vanessa many auditions. In addition, under the suggestion of the agent, Vanessa chose to drop out of school early after the New Year. Although the United States has a K-12 compulsory education system, in theory, teenagers must finish high school, otherwise their parents will be held legally responsible, but in fact, as long as they are not serious, no one will care.

Just like Quentin, who dropped out of school at the age of 14 and later succeeded, was also rumored to be an inspirational story.

I received the two sisters leaving the rental apartment, and it was just past 8 o'clock.

Scott Lambert did not drive to Malibu Cinema directly, but stopped in a styling house in Santa Monica, allowing a familiar stylist here to carefully dress up the two sisters before setting off again.

Scarlett became more and more excited about this, believing that this "Horse Whisperer" production conference would definitely meet Simon Westeros. The 16-year-old Vanessa was also very happy because she knew that the stylist had made a styling for Meg Ryan, which was very powerful, and the two sisters didn't have to pay for it.

Only the agent is looking forward to it more.

After all, my sister is too young, but she is already fresh and delicious. What's more, she is a pair of sisters. Big people always have some curiosity preferences. If these sisters can be favored by Simon Westeros, his efforts to operate during this period will definitely be doubled.

Today is Friday, January 10th.

The three finally arrived at Daenerys Cinema, 5 minutes away from 9 a.m., but in fact they were half an hour earlier.

But it doesn't matter.

If you want to make a small person like them, the key is to be careful.

This was until nearly 9:30, and I spent twenty minutes walking around the park. I was unfortunately unable to meet the opportunity. The three of them came to Building 1 of the administrative district to explain their purpose and were taken to the third floor by the staff. However, the development of the matter was somewhat unexpected. The agent and Vanessa were not only questioned and recorded, but also could only stay in a lounge. Only Scarlett could attend the production meeting. Even so, the girl was also underwent security check.

This time even Vanessa reacted.

Both envious and melancholy.

I envy my sister for seeing Simon Westeros. A man in Hollywood at this time was like a god. I was sad that I didn’t have such an opportunity. After all, the girl is quite confident about her figure and appearance, and at least she can definitely keep her sister away from it.

The office area is very open.

Gradually, several other followers were arranged into this lounge. Scott and Vanessa saw Robert Redford, Sam Neil, Kristen Scott Thomas and other big stars passing through the corridor through the glass wall, and, among them, Simon Westeros.

To be honest, the young man who was born in the past few years was definitely the object of admiration for countless girls. In the past, Vanessa didn't feel anything. The girl didn't expect that she would have the chance to be less than 10 feet away from Simon Westeros.

When he saw the handsome and tall figure passing through the corridor and turned his head to look at her, Vanessa's heart beat sharply accelerated. She was the girl who was in her prime and met a man who had far exceeded expectations in all aspects. It naturally only took a moment to fall in love at first sight.

So, for the next hour, the girl was a little nervous and dazed, and her little brain unconsciously applied all the fairy tale templates she had seen since she was a child.

well.

How great it would be if...

On the timeline, "The Horse Whisperer", adapted from the novel of the same name, is regarded as the last and most popular excellent film in Robert Redford's career, costing US$60 million and having a global box office of 180 million. After "The Horse Whisperer", Robert Redford never had any movies that could be made.

Moreover, "The Horse Whisperer" is also a tragedy in Oscar history.

Even if this movie is a little worse than the best film, the nomination is absolutely fine. Unfortunately, I encountered "Shape's Love History" back then.

"The Horse Whisperer" is produced by Disney's headquarters, and Miramax is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Disney. The Weinstein brothers were in power at the time, and even other nominated films that were obviously beyond "Shapes' Love History" could be suppressed. Naturally, another movie from the same company would not be allowed to dilute the votes for "Shapes' Love History". As a result, the well-received "The Horse Whisperer" was completely ignored in the 1999 awards season.

This time, to be honest, Simon couldn't guarantee anything. After all, there is "Titanic" this year. If the ship creates new glory, it will take the initiative to "trough" again next year.

All Simon can do is give Redford enough support.

The film is expected to start filming in March. This is the first production meeting after the crew is built. Simon personally participated, mainly for everyone to communicate in person and discuss the script.

The former "Horse Whisperer" had no doubt about the quality, but it was not perfect.

Whether it is the commentary media or ordinary audiences, they all feel that this video is a bit flat and lacks shock and passion.

In fact, it's just a lack of orgasm.

This is the most not a problem for Simon. Daenerys Entertainment's commercial films are very stable in grasping the rhythm.

Through preparation in advance and discussions at this meeting, several emotional outbursts were quickly determined, such as Tom deliberately blindfolded his eyes and asked the little girl Grace to drive without any attention, such as the hero's accidental death in the end, etc., which can be photographed more shockingly.

There is also the soundtrack, which is actually the key to motivating the audience's emotions.

This time, Simon invited John Williams, the winner of the Oscar for Best Soundtrack this time. The magnificent Western Grasslands complemented each other with a grand and shocking symphony.

Finally, it is appropriate compression of the length of the film.

The original "Horse Whisperer" lasts 169 minutes, nearly three hours. Even if the film is good, the audience will inevitably feel tired. This time, Simon did not require the standard two hours, but hoped that Redford would do it for at least 150 minutes.

The meeting started at 9:30 am and lasted for an hour. Many issues were not thorough. It was just that Simon had limited time and could only discuss it slowly in the future.

At 10:30, the meeting ended and everyone left the conference room together.

Robert Redford and Simon fell behind side by side, discussing some off-topic talk: "This year's Sundance 16 opening, Simon, will you still go there in person?"

"Of course, the Westeros party will continue. By the way, Bob, are there any good movies this year?"

"The movies submitted by Daenerys are great, but you know, Simon and Sundance mainly support new people and new works, and some of your works will not be shortlisted."

"Of course, I also hope Sundance can continue to discover more new filmmakers."

The two of them said, waiting for the others to greet each other and walked out together. As soon as they left the conference room, they saw the small Scarlett Johnson standing in front of a man and a woman, obviously waiting for him.

Seeing Scarletts and the others, Robert Redford seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Simon: "That's it, Simon, meet us at Sundance."

As he said that, he nodded to the little girl again and left first.

Simon then looked at a little girl.

At the meeting just now, the little fairy looked at him with continuous look that was wonderful. Simon was hit by the clumsy flow wave several times before he realized that it was probably some arrangements from his subordinates. The little girl himself knew about this arrangement for some reason. Not only did she not resist, but she was obviously looking forward to it.

"Mr. Westeros, I just want to thank you again, thank you for giving me this opportunity."

"I've seen your audition tape, it's great, so, Ska, that's what you deserve."

This is the truth.

Even though Simon has always believed that learning is important after tomorrow, he also knows that sometimes, when God gives food, outsiders can only envy it.

Scarlett pursed his teeth and made his more erect mouth, and changed the topic dexterously: "Mr. Westeros, this is my agent, Scott Lambert, and this is my sister Vanessa, she, well, she is also an actor."

Scott Lambert shook hands with the young man in front of him with honor. Seeing that the other party turned his gaze to the graceful girl beside him, he was not disappointed, but was secretly happy.

It's done.

Simon was really surprised. He actually didn't feel much about Scarlett Johansson. But he didn't expect that this girl's sister is quite in line with her taste. She is obviously Slavic blood, tall, fair skin, delicate and delicate facial features, and is not like Scarlett at all.

Vanessa Johnson was a little glad that his sister did not blurt out that she was her assistant, or else she would have been looked down upon by Simon Westeros. When she noticed that the man in front of her looked at her, she suddenly realized her face, her face immediately became a little rosy, and she was at a loss for a moment before she remembered to reach out and said, "Hello, Mr. Westeros, my name is Vanessa."

"Hello," Simon shook hands with the girl in front of him, and suddenly became a little bad. He didn't know what would happen if he would make his sister a big star sister unknown in this life, so he said: "I have another meeting soon. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait and treat you to lunch."

"ah……"

Vanessa reacted for a moment, her eyes wide open.

Seeing her sister's dazed goose look, Scarlett felt a little embarrassed, so she could only agree quickly: "Thank you, Mr. Westeros, this is such an honor."

Even though Scott Lambert had a million hopes in his heart for lunch with Westeros, he tactfully refused and said that he would bother Simon to send the sisters home after the meal.

Simon did not try to keep him, so he asked the girl A around him to arrange for the Johnson sisters, and hurried to another conference room in the same building.

This is also a crew.
Chapter completed!
