Chapter 1425: Vanessa and Scarlett (1)
After talking about "Kung Fu", it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. For the night owl, nightlife had just begun, but Simon was going home.
There is still work tomorrow.
Ignoring the women who were making clear hints at the party, Simon continued to socialize and said goodbye through the crowd, came to the bar door, and was caught up by Vanessa Johnson, followed by Scarlett Johnson, who was obviously disliked.
Taking Simon's arm with the flow, Vanessa looked expectant: "Simon, can you go to my place tonight?"
Simon patted the girl's slender waist and shook her head with a smile: "It won't work tonight, baby, I'll contact you later if I have time."
Vanessa did not give up: "Since that's the case, Simon, you're going to go back to Dumei Point Manor, right? Can I take a ride?"
Simon remembered that the Johnsons were arranged to Brentwood and happened to go along, so he nodded in agreement.
Seeing Simon agreeing, Vanessa showed a little bit of the young excitement of a girl who had just turned 18 years old. She hugged Simon's arm and walked out. She did not forget to glance at the party scene with a slight smug look, enjoying the countless envy, jealousy and hatred that flashed by.
At the same time, he still ignores a certain disgusting sister who can only come with him tonight.
When Scarlett saw his sister and Westeros go out together, he pouted slightly and followed closely without any slowness.
I feel wronged again.
Until now, Scarlett still insisted that Simon should have liked her at the beginning, but was snatched away by her hateful sister, or her own sister!
When I got downstairs and got on the bus, I saw that my sister was about to chase Simon, Vanessa, who seemed to not care about a follower, grabbed her and pulled her sister to the other side. She got on the bus first before allowing Scarlett, who was already red-eyed, to come up.
Simon's car tonight was a Bentley with a handrail in the middle of the back seat, so he could not lift that kind, so the other side could only squeeze one seat with two sisters.
Simon just smiled and watched the little confrontation between the two sisters.
It's still the bad taste that I used to do, and I deliberately wanted to see what would happen after I promoted the once unknown sister of Johnson's family to a big star.
Now, it's quite interesting.
More interesting things are still to come.
When the car started and turned into the Sunset Avenue smoothly, taking advantage of the gap between Vanessa's thought she had suppressed her sister and diverted her attention and talked to Simon, a little girl suddenly stood up, passed her sister, and rushed to Simon.
Vanessa was really unexpected, stunned for a moment, then became anxious, and pulled Scarlett's arm and was about to pull the little girl back. A little fairy naturally fought back, and even screamed and asked Simon for help.
Seeing that the two girls were about to develop to the point of pulling each other's hair, Simon could only say: "OK, stop, I will only drive you both out of the car if I make trouble."
Vanessa stopped first when she heard this, and finally pinched her sister's arm, looked at Simon again, apologized: "I'm so sorry, Simon, Scar is so willful. I will never take her out next time."
"I don't want you to take it," Scarlett fought back with red eyes, and turned to the man: "Simon, you liked me at first, right? Vanne is the one who interfered?"
"This," Simon twisted Scarlett's petite body and let the girl sit on her lap, and said with a smile: "I don't like the eight-year-old girl."
"I'm not eight years old," Scarlett obediently turned around and leaned against the man's arms. Hearing this, he turned his head and held Simon in his chest. "Look, my development is better than many eighteen-year-old girls."
Simon felt it bluntly, and saw that the girl's face was flushing quickly, and she still joked: "The problem is, her mental age is only eight years old."
Seeing that his sister successfully sat in the man's arms, she tasted a little bit of food, Vanessa then finished the fight: "Even if she is less than eight years old, she is like a kindergarten child."
This time, Scarlett ignored her sister's teasing and looked at the man behind her with anticipation: "Simon, I'm going to have my birthday next Sunday. On November 22, can you come to celebrate my birthday with me?"
Simon shook his head directly: "No."
The girl was not disappointed this time, but her green face showed a little charming look: "Or, it's OK now."
The girl said, sticking her behind her, her eyes flashing wildly.
Simon increased the strength of the girl in his arms, interrupting the little fairy's casting: "Be good, the time is wrong now," he simply ignored it and turned to Vanessa next to him: "What are you busy with recently?"
Vanessa was thinking about how to complain to her mother after she got home, and that she would definitely not be able to give her sister a chance to steal a man from her in the future. When Simon asked, she quickly cheered up: "I'm discussing several roles these days. Simon, it just so happens that you can give me some advice?"
"Tell me first?"
"One is "The Genius Ripley" directed by Mingla. This is Daenerys' project, Simon you must know."
Simon nodded.
I happened to chat with Ella Deutchman at the party tonight.
After completing "The Patient in the UK", Anthony Mingla has been preparing for his favorite "The Genius Ripley" in recent years. It is adapted from a classic novel of the same name published in 1955. It tells the story of Tom, a commoner's son, who was commissioned by a wealthy businessman to persuade his son Dicky, who was scattered in Italy, to return to the United States. After Tom contacted Dicky, he was deeply attracted by the rich and rich life in the upper class, and finally had the extreme idea of killing the other party and replacing it.
This was once a relatively successful project, led by Miramax and was still the most popular Oscars of that year.
The disadvantage is that the cost is too high, reaching US$40 million. Although the global box office exceeds 120 million, including the investment in publicity and development, the theater industry can only be considered as a guaranteed capital.
Therefore, Simon's attitude this time is that the budget cannot exceed 30 million, otherwise he would rather not do it.
In fact, if it weren't for the project proposed by Anthony Mingla himself, Simon would rather have Brian de Palma or David Finch directed it. Mingla's style is too literary, and this is obviously a crime thriller creativity that is no less than the memory of "The Lost Lover".
Thinking of this, Simon asked Vanessa, "What role are you going to play?"
"Of course it's the heroine," Vanessa said: "It's Dicky's girlfriend, but this is a male lead film, and the heroine doesn't have many scenes."
Simon looked at Vanessa's expression on her face, and smiled and said, "The roles can't be changed randomly, otherwise it may be counterproductive. Moreover, even if there are not many scenes, Mingla's movie is still worth participating in. His "British Patient" has won the Oscar nomination for the female lead and female supporting actress. Just like Woody Allen, even for a small role, actresses can easily excel. This is what you need most now."
Simon disagreed. Vanessa was smart and did not get entangled. She nodded, remembered and said, "The problem is, I just participated in the audition and am not sure how to get this role. Simon, have you agreed to me now?"
"I'll take the time to watch the audition sample," Simon did not agree immediately, and smiled: "As long as your performance is excellent enough, Mingla has no objection, of course it's yours."
"Thank you, Simon."
Vanessa said as she came over, climbed on Simon's shoulder, kissed the man before sitting back.
Chapter completed!
