Linda Fiorentino denied: "I don't want to cause trouble, Mr. Westeros, I'm just fighting for the rights I deserve."

Simon said teasingly: "Then have you ever thought that you overestimate your own strength?"

Linda Fiorentino didn't show any timidity under Simon's gaze. She raised her chin slightly and said, "I have to give it a try."

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became quiet. Brian De Palma looked interested. Jonathan Friedman and others also remained onlookers. Only Linda Fiorentino's agent

With a depressed look on his face, he was very worried that Simon Westeros would suddenly ask him to take this stupid woman out.

After sizing Linda Fiorentino across the conference table for a moment, Simon simply put down the pencil in his hand, leaned on the office chair, and said, "Tell me, what do you want?"

"Delete the number of nude scenes," Linda Fiorentino said: "I just said that."

Simon said: "I just said that if you insist on this request, you can leave now."

Linda Fiorentino paused for a moment before saying: "At least, the scene where the bottom is exposed must be deleted."

Simon refused: "It's such an important plot point that it's impossible to delete, but I can guarantee that if someone plays it frame by frame in the future, they won't see anything."

Linda Fiorentino put the cigarette to her mouth again, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I don't want to be labeled as a pornographic film actress. After this movie, Daenerys Films must allow me to be a porn star again."

Pick a character from your production slate."

Simon said: "I saw your performance in Martin Scorsese's "After Hours" and it was pretty good. It's impossible for you to choose, but I can help you arrange it."

When Linda Fiorentino heard Simon agree so readily, a flash of surprise flashed across her face, but she quickly added: "It must be the heroine, and there is no need to show off."

Simon nodded: "No problem."

Although it seemed that Simon Westeros was too talkative, Linda Fiorentino quickly continued: "In addition, the salary of 100,000 US dollars is too low, I want 300,000 US dollars."

Simon nodded again: "Okay."

Linda Fiorentino looked at Simon, even wondering if this young man was playing tricks on her: "These must be written in the contract."

Simon agreed: "Of course, are there any other requirements?"

Linda Fiorentino thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "No more."

"Then, let me tell you my request," Simon sat up straight, stared at the woman sharply, and said in a serious tone: "Put out the cigarette!"

Linda Fiorentino's right hand holding the cigarette shook slightly, and after a moment of stalemate, she put out the cigarette in an ashtray handed over by Jennifer.

Simon waited for the woman to put out the cigarette and said: "What you just performed is very consistent with the personality of the heroine Catherine Trammell, who is flamboyant, sharp and strong. Therefore, I forgive you for this rudeness, but only once. If

Next time I see you smoking in a work meeting, I will have you kicked out."

Linda Fiorentino listened to Simon's merciless reprimand and subconsciously straightened her waist.

However, Linda Fiorentino couldn't help suppressing the thought of having an attack when she thought of the terms she had just negotiated. It was US$300,000, which was 100 times what she had received when she first took part in the role three years ago.

.When she offered this price, she actually felt that it would be very rare to increase it to US$150,000.

With these thoughts flashing through her mind, Linda Fiorentino suddenly realized something and looked at Simon again.

This man is really a devil who likes to manipulate people's hearts.

If it was only $100,000, she wouldn't feel it was a pity even if the deal fell through. She was not interested in this role with a lot of nude scenes. But with $300,000, it would be difficult for her to refuse easily.

Although she had always considered herself a person who didn't value money very much, growing up in an Italian immigrant family with eight children, she had never seen $300,000 in her life.

Such a sum of money is enough to ensure that she will have a worry-free livelihood for the next few years.

not to mention.

There are also two heroines. Many actresses may not get such an opportunity in their lifetime.

Simon didn't care if Linda Fiorentino figured out his intentions and continued: "Now that you got what you want, you have to devote yourself to this movie. I don't want to hear it again."

If you have any opinions about the role you need to play, I can tell you for sure that if this movie is successful, you will definitely become one of the most famous actresses in Hollywood, and I promise that your next role will be the same.

My acting career will be taken to the next level. But if I screw up, and I screw up because of you, I can guarantee that there will no longer be any place for you in Hollywood."

Linda Fiorentino's emotions were stirred up again and she asked: "Mr. Westeros, are you threatening me?"

"That's right," Simon nodded and said, "But you can still quit now, the door is right there. And never say anything like others have no other choice in the future. The most important thing in Hollywood is actors."

Linda Fiorentino felt the gaze of the man opposite her and grabbed the handbag she placed next to her. After all, she did not get up, but just turned her face away.

Seeing that the woman was completely subdued, Simon turned to the others and said, "Let's continue."

After discussing for more than half an hour, the matter was finalized. Simon discussed some matters with Jonathan about Robert De Niro and the two scripts, and then left the WMA headquarters.

Inside the carriage.

Simon reopened the airplane information and asked the female assistant beside him: "What are the plans next?"

Jennifer looked at her memo and said: "Dave Stevens, the author of "The Rocketeer", will be here at four o'clock."

Simon thought of this science fiction comic set in the United States in the 1930s and 1940s. With so many things going on recently, he really didn't want to spend too much time on the 'sand' that he had casually mixed in. He made up his mind about the next meeting.

After that, just perfunctory, it is best to drag out the project naturally.

Having made a decision in his mind, Simon asked again: "Have you made your schedule for next week?"

Jennifer turned the page of the memo and said: "Monday is the supporting role audition for "Basic Instinct". Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday will be a trip to San Francisco. In addition to checking out the filming locations of "Basic Instinct", I have already arranged a visit for you.

Schedule for Silicon Graphics and Pixar Studios. Heading to Park City on Friday to attend the opening ceremony of this year’s Sundance Film Festival.”

In the 1990s, the CG special effects of many blockbusters including "Jurassic Park" and "Day of the Alone" were designed using the professional graphics workstations of Silicon-Graphics. Today's Silicon-Graphics company is still very small, and it is also

One of the holding companies of the Westeros Company.

Simon had already contacted the other party before, hoping to promote the development of CG special effects in advance, and Silicon Graphics was also very enthusiastic about this matter.

As for Pixar, it is naturally about 3D animation.

"And, um," Simon remembered another thing and was about to speak, but then added: "I will do this myself."

Since I was going to San Francisco, I definitely had to make it to visit Dr. Henry Chapman. There was no need for Jennifer to arrange this kind of thing. She just had to make a phone call in advance.

However, as he sorted out his schedule for next week, Simon found that he would not be able to focus on the post-production of "Pulp Fiction" for another week. Fortunately, the production of the film was nearing completion, and the schedule was confirmed to be June 3, even if he planned to attend Cannes

The film festival is only in January, so we definitely can’t delay it.

Working overtime on weekends is inevitable.

The SUV entered downtown Santa Monica and approached the headquarters of Daenerys Films. Jennifer looked at Simon beside her and suddenly said: "I never thought you would be so harsh on a beautiful young lady."

Simon glanced at the female assistant and said, "If you don't obey, I will be very strict."

Jennifer avoided the man's eyes and said: "If you make any excessive demands, I will definitely not listen. Moreover, I will not give in just because of 300,000 US dollars."

"I never think that money can make a person succumb, unless it is a lot of money. However, everyone has their own weaknesses, just find them. A third-tier actress, whose financial conditions are not very good, and who desires to be famous,

Her weakness is money and opportunities. I can give her these, and I can also take them away easily. So, she can only give in to me."

Jennifer hesitated and asked tentatively: "What about me?"

Simon shook his head: "I don't know."

Jennifer suddenly said with certainty: "You must know."

Simon smiled and said: "Maybe, but you have to try it."

Jennifer hesitated for a moment, then boldly looked at Simon and said, "Then, try it."

"Really?"

"real."

Simon put the folder aside on his lap, reached over and gently pushed aside Jennifer's beautiful blond hair.

The moment the man's fingers touched her hair, Jennifer felt like a little squirrel that had encountered a natural enemy and was completely frightened.

Oh my god.

he.

I really pulled my hair.

But, this, this is in the car.

How can this work?

Feeling the man's breath getting closer and closer, she wanted to escape, but found that she couldn't even move her fingertips.

Magic?

Um.

He is a wizard.

It wasn't until the man pushed aside her blond hair, kissed her jade-white neck gently, and sat back down that Jennifer felt her body soften again.

Then, his seemingly proud voice sounded in my ears again: "Look, I found it. From now on, tie your hair up obediently. I like to see it."

She lowered her head and fiddled with her satchel.

I really want to accuse him of cheating or something.

but.

I don't know how long it took, but the car should have stopped in the parking lot, and she seemed to remember that she said a soft 'hmm'.
