Burbank.

On the same morning, at nine o'clock, Jamie Spears drove to Universal Studios. He was still stopped by the careful guard before entering the door, so he had to call Barry Weiss's office.

A moment later, Jamie Spears was released into the office, all the way to Barry Weiss's office.

The soft-sounding female secretary told him to wait. Jamie Spears pressed the recorder in the shoulder bag on his waist and sat down in the outdoor rest area. His eyes couldn't help but glance at the beautiful female secretary wearing a pink professional suit, thinking that she would open a company when she got $200 million, so that she would hire at least two such secretary.

Waiting for more than ten minutes, just as Jamie Spears was a little impatient, the inner door finally opened, and Barry Weiss joked and sent a few young people out. Jamie Spears met him, which was the very popular backstreet boy band.

When Jamie Spears saw Barry Weiss see him off, he smiled at himself, subconsciously got up, reacted, and sat down again, waiting for Barry Weiss to send a group of young people out and walked towards him. Then Spears got up again to greet Barry Weiss.

Barry Weiss shook hands with Jamie Spears, signaled the other party to enter his office, and asked with a smile: "Jamie, is there anything wrong with me suddenly? Haha, you don't seem to feel comfortable. Have you not had a good sleep recently?"

As he said that, he did not forget to ask the secretary to bring in two cups of coffee.

Jamie Spears realized that he was neglected by the secretary. He had just sat there for more than ten minutes, but he didn't see the other party sending coffee. He felt secretly hated and stopped being polite. He ignored Barry Weiss's concern for his well-being and said coldly: "Barry, there is no need for coffee. I have something very important to talk to you."

Anyway, when you become rich, what kind of coffee can't be drunk?

Barry Weiss was a little confused and even had some bad premonitions, but he still signaled the secretary not to send coffee in. He came to the reception area with Spears and sat down, and asked again: "So, Jamie, what the hell is going on?"

Jamie Spears quietly pressed the shoulder bag beside him and looked at Barry West and said, "Barry, I want to meet Simon Westeros and talk to him about my daughter."

Barry Weiss raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Jamie Spears silently for a moment, and then he also turned cold and asked, "Jamie, do you make the words clear first?"

At this point, Jamie Spears stopped hiding it, grinned, and with his blood-filled eyes, he became more and more obsessed: "Barry, you actually understand, don't you? I want to meet Simon Westeros, about her and my daughter," paused, and Jamie Spears simply made the words clear: "Like Michael Jackson and Jody Chandler."

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent again.

The two of them had confronted each other for more than a minute, and Barry Weiss finally spoke again: "Jamie, you are doing something very stupid, do you understand? So, I suggest you better go home and have a sleep, and wake up and forget everything you just said."

Barry Weiss spoke calmly, but Jamie Spears could no longer hold back and stared at him fiercely: "I don't need you to tell me what to do, Barry," as he said so, Jamie Spears took out the recorder in his bag and pressed the play button directly: "Or, I call the police now and handed the recording to a reporter from the Los Angeles Times."

Immediately, the sound from the recorder sounded in the room.

First, a soft tone of male voice: "Brie, my baby, is there something happening between you and Simon Westeros, I mean, sexual relationship?"

Then there was a weak girl who was a little depressed and said: "Yes, Dad."

Barry Weiss frowned and waved his hand to interrupt: "Okay, Jamie, turn it off."

Jamie Spears turned off the recorder and looked at Barry West with a grin: "I said, Barry, this is not something you can handle, I'm going to see Simon Westeros."

Barry Weiss ignored the other party anymore. He was a musician and was most sensitive to the sound. He just heard the cut traces in it just a conversation. The idiot in front of him probably regarded everyone as a fool, so he thought that such evidence could pose a threat to his boss.

Moreover, the girl's condition in the recording also made Barry Weiss realize why Britney was like that in recent days.

It was not a new way of playing with his own boss. Instead, just like the rumored case of Jackson, Ivan Chandler injected his son with anesthetics and then induced Jody Chandler to say what he needed.

It seems that a fool has carefully studied the Jackson case, and is planning to do the same.

Since the other party is stubborn and wants to do stupid things, he can only do it.

Thinking of this, Barry Weiss stood up, turned to his desk, and said to Jamie Spears, who was still on the sofa in the reception area: "You go out first, I want to make a call."

There was no politeness in his tone.

Jamie Spears noticed Barry Weiss's attitude change, and he was still angry, but there was a smug smile on his face. He stood up slowly and deliberately slowed down his steps out of the office. He also let the door open, and went to the outside room, returned to the sofa seat just now, sat down, hugged the bag with a recorder on his knees, and looked around unscrupulously.

This office is really average, and you will have to spend millions of money to install the best one in the future.

Perhaps, if you meet Simon Westeros later, you can pay attention to it and decorate the young tycoon's office in the future. Of course, a beautiful female secretary must not be left behind.

Malibu.

At Daenerys Cinema, Simon had just reviewed some documents in her office, and Girl A transferred Barry Weiss' phone number in, saying that something was very important.

Simon pressed the landline to put it outside, and continued to look through a market briefing for major Asian countries and regions in the past week, while listening to Barry Weiss about what had just happened.

It just feels a bit ridiculous.

What is this?

The ignorant is fearless?

Simon kept flipping through the documents, and after Barry Weis finished speaking, he said to the landline: "I understand, Barry, let that, who, wait there, I will have someone take over."

Barry Weiss agreed and hung up the phone.

Simon pressed the call button again and said to Girl A: "Help me pick up George Norman, and let Neil Bennett come to see me too."

Girl A agreed.

Simon continued to handle his work. After a moment, the phone was connected. It was the voice of Jennifer's uncle George Norman. After he greeted him, Simon said: "George, now go to Universal Studios and find Barry Weiss. Let him tell you specifically that all you have to do is chat with the other party, delay some days, and don't worry about the others."

As a lawyer, George Norman has always had a close relationship with the Westeros family over the years and is considered a confidant. After hearing what Simon said, Norman did not say much and hung up the phone after agreeing.

A moment later, Neil Bennett, who was the first to follow Simon in charge of Westeros' security and private intelligence network, entered the door. Simon roughly explained and asked Neil Bennett to send a team to stare at the Spears family, mainly to avoid any unexpected troubles.

After explaining the matter, Simon continued to work.

Not surprising.

Of course, Simon knew how to make the wind radiate and knew how to prevent the problem. However, with Westeros' current strength and wealth, he could not even deal with such small things, so he could just scatter his wealth and retire to the world.

Therefore, the touch that this temporary small change brought to Simon was even better than to know that Lin Yibin planned to switch to Disney.

This was just over the production conference of "The Matrix". Before the video conference with A. Online, Girl A stepped forward to inform Simon what she had just received: "Lin did not show up in person. Ms. Pascal only met his negotiator. Lin hoped to work with Disney for a film or a pseudo-documentary film before continuing to fulfill her contract with us?"

Simon looked through the minutes of the meeting on the Matrix just now and asked, "How much has Disney given?"

Girl A has learned the specific situation in advance and said: "$6 million plus a 10% domestic box office share. In addition, this is a project that Disney and Panasonic cooperate. Most of the funds are provided by Panasonic to promote Panasonic's digital cameras."

"6 million, and 10%, it should be the full commission, right?"

Girl A nodded.

There are many models of box office sharing, either local or global, or directly divided from the entire box office, or divided on the basis of the share of the theater chain, and the gross profit sharing after the share of the theater chain, etc., all depends on the agreement.

Simon understood a little bit that this was a contract with a basic certain value of up to tens of millions.

In comparison, Daenerys gave a $1 million salary for the second collaboration, which can only be described as shabby.

I wasn't too angry, but I was a little disappointed.

However, it is also understandable.

How can I compare $10 million and $1 million?

If it is a Hollywood old bird, the chance of choosing the former is greater, and there will be almost no hesitation, because they understand that Hollywood is too uncertain, and maybe the next movie will be defeated at the box office to end their careers. Therefore, what you get is yours. Some people promise the future, it is best to be a good idea to be farted.

Of course Simon is different, it is really giving Lin Yibin a very secure future.

So it's a pity.

Now, people will definitely not be able to keep them anymore. The conflict of interest is too great, and forcing them to stay will only become enemies. And it is not the time when Jim Carrey was involved, because there were too many involvements and Simon could not allow concessions, otherwise the core actors of the entire DC movie universe would have started to make trouble.

"Boss, are we going to stop it?"

Hearing Girl A ask another question, Simon came back to his senses, thought for a while, and said, "Since that's the case, let him go and shoot. However, there are two conditions. First, we will take back the $1 million reward he gave him last time. Second, Lin's next movie will be released at the earliest in 1999, which is about 15 months later."

After hearing this, Girl A quickly understood the intention of her boss. Not to mention the reward, the 15-month interval is actually similar to a competition agreement. The purpose is to minimize the popularity of Lin Yibin using "Ghost Records".

Thinking of this, the A girl added: "Boss, maybe we can also ask for some compensation, for example, 20% of Lin's salary?"

"Ha, no need."

Girl A had no objection, but felt that her boss really valued the other party, but she still said: "Since that's the case, boss, will Lin still participate in the next global publicity of "Ghost Records"?"

Simon shook his head again, of course this time the meaning was completely opposite: "No need, please inform him and let him disappear for the time being, and do your own project well."

Simon is just a pity for talent, but he is not even a good person, let alone a bad person, so he is limited to this. Before working together again, Lin Yibin should not want to get any resources from Daenerys Entertainment.

"Then let's make more detailed terms," ​​said A girl: "The promotion of Linxia's movies must not mention "Ghost Records" in any form."

"Well, you guys discuss these yourself."

After Simon finished his explanation, he waited for Girl A to leave, and took advantage of the gap before the call started to write in the minutes of the "Matrix" meeting.

Lead actor: Keanu Reeves.

There is no objection to this.

The two core male supporting actors, Agent Smith and Hugo Weiwen, were also directly appointed.

As for Mephis, Simon thought about it a little, and wanted to give up the original version of Lawrence Fishburne, the ‘Director’ Samuel Jackson, had a more eye-catching relationship. Then he remembered that Jackson was chosen to be the Star Wars prequel series, just like before. Even if Jackson was just a supporting role in Star Wars, he could catch up with the schedule, and the two more or less similar characters were not suitable for mixing and matching.

Therefore, enable the original version.

Then there is the most important heroine.

Living in the wasteland of the apocalyptic times where humans are ruled by machines, Trinity must first be strong and her temperament needs to be colder.

The original Carrie Ann Moss's image is actually good, but she has a little ordinary appearance and is too low-famous. If it were just like that, Simon could accept it. However, the former Carrie Ann Moss always did not call the male protagonist Keanu in the film, and her characterization was not highlighted at all. So much so that after "The Matrix" made Keanu famous, the heroine was still lukewarm.

Of course I have to change one this time.

The first thing Simon thought of was Kate Beckinsale.

Kate's look in "Legend of the Night" is simply suitable for Trinity. However, Kate's problem is like Samuel Jackson, and he already has the "Charlie's Angels" series, which is also two similar characters that make people easily play. Moreover, even if Kate is his own woman, rationally considers it, Simon cannot throw all the good resources on one person.

Balance is important.

Therefore, I can only regret PASS.
