Simon arrived at the Melisandra party scene at the top bar on Sunset Tower Hotel. It was already late at night and the atmosphere at the party was still hot.

I didn't go to San Francisco in the afternoon.

He was stopped by Janet, changed direction and headed east, driving a modified version of the military off-road in the eastern California Gobi Desert. Janet was co-piloted by Chen Qing and several other driving cars, with two of his own Black Hawk helicopters on his head to ensure safety.

I arrived in Vegas all the way, had dinner, and continued to drive back, no longer racing, and was safe and stable.

After all, it is not suitable to drive express trains at night.

Simon suddenly felt bad in the afternoon, but he would not lose his mind because of this.

After returning to Dumei Point Manor, he had a short break before rushing to the party. Janet also followed him, as if he was worried that his man would suddenly do something crazy. However, Chen Qing stayed in the manor and said that he wanted to see the child.

The couple entered the bar and quickly became the focus of everyone's greetings.

The most enthusiastic one was Madonna. The Queen was obviously drunk and she was still holding the Oscar little golden man tightly in her hand. When she came to Simon, she was about to hang up like a koala and was pushed away firmly.

Inside the bar hall.

Simon stretched out a big hand and pressed the head of Queen Mai, who was blushing on her face, stopped her from sticking it up again, and said with a smile: "I have helped you publicize the best actress, and I have to take advantage of it. It's so greedy!"

Queen McGrath was obviously not really drunk yet, and she looked sad: "Simon, you are so cold."

Indeed, a man has always been the target of her hunting. Unfortunately, after so many years, he has not succeeded.

Damn guy.

After whispering to her heart, Queen McGrath immediately changed her target and smiled and stretched her arms over: "Jenny, I'm so happy to see you."

Janet smiled and hugged Queen Mai, and also stopped the Queen from touching and taking advantage of both men and women. She did not make fun of her, but congratulated her: "Maggie, congratulations."

"Hey, it's all Simon," Queen Mai raised the little golden man in her hand and looked to the side: "How can I repay you?"

"Or what, disappear from me?" Simon said viciously, ignored Queen Mc's grievances, turned to the rest of the crew of "Chicago" and reached out to shake hands with director Robert Marshall: "Congratulations, Bob."

Robert Marshall also held his little golden man, and looked overly excited. In any case, he won the highest honor in Hollywood when he turned from a stage play director to a big screen.

Marshall held Simon's hand tightly thankfully, and even said something incoherent: "Simon, I really don't know what to say. Without you, without Daenerys, I... in short, thank you."

"Don't say that, this is also the result of your efforts."

After a few chats, Simon continued to turn to the rest of the crew, including the obviously lost Catherine Zeta-Jones.

The former old man killer should have won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in "Chicago" with the little trick of playing the protagonist and the support of her husband Michael Douglas, who is very connected in Hollywood. However, history has changed. Zeta Jones is still single now and has not been with the Douglas family. This time, Daenerys did not use the method of playing the protagonist to play the role, but directly publicized the nomination for the two heroines, but lost to Madonna.

Actually, it was the result of Daenerys' choice.

This also made Zeta Jones quite resentful when greeting men. After all, to be honest, her performances and Madonna just met the theme of the film "Chicago". In terms of performances alone, no one could reach the level of winning the Oscar Little Golden Man. However, this is the reality, the times create heroes.

And, Zeta Jones knows better that since they are following the trend and public relations factors are the big ones, the two heroines, the Little Golden Man, and whom the Little Golden Man doesn't give to whom, is the final decision for a man. However, the other party chose Madonna, who has a better relationship in private, rather than her. Looking at the details of the "interaction" between the two, there is obviously nothing between them, they are just better friends of the opposite sex, and she, well, abominable man!

Simon probably understood what a woman was thinking, but he didn't explain anything.

The best actress Little Golden Man this time was indeed decided by Simon himself, but it was just a decision made from the standpoint of Boss Daenerys. Because Queen McGrath won the award, the subsequent topics would be more and more popular so that the film could achieve more follow-up benefits. In comparison, although Zeta Jones' performance was equally amazing, it was not as high as Queen McGrath.

I can only regret it.

After socializing, Janet and a few familiar female guests gathered at the bar to chat and drink. Simon came to Master Zhang and his friends again, and everyone sat down in a sofa booth.

After changing the glass of wine, Simon looked at Master Zhang with a smile: "Zhang, how do you feel?" Without waiting for the other party to answer, Simon already said: "Does he feel like he is not doing his job properly?"

As a director, he got a Little Golden Man by virtue of the producer of a documentary, and that feeling must be quite subtle.

Master Zhang smiled and nodded, and then said smoothly: "However, Simon, I am still very grateful for your support for the project "Everest".

Simon smiled, took a sip of champagne, and then said, "Actually, I have always been very optimistic about you, Zhang, and I have always had some ideas about China's film industry, which has something to do with you."

Mr. Zhang, sitting on the side of the booth, leaned forward slightly, looking at listening with a scrupulous look. Even Mr. Wang and others on the opposite side were cheered up.

Simon also quickly continued and asked a question first: "Zhang, have you ever dealt with Spielberg?"

Mr. Zhang happened to know that Steven Spielberg had some rifts with Daenerys because of things like "Jurassic Park", so he didn't expect Simon to mention the other party. He paused for a moment and nodded: "I've talked a few times at some parties."

Simon said: "Steven became famous in 1975 with Jaws, and then, in the 1980s, and films like ET Alien and Raiders of the Lost Ark, to Jurassic Park in the 1990s, all achieved great results. But what I admire most about Spielberg, do you know what it is?"

Master Zhang responded and said, "What?"

As I said that, I couldn't help but think, but I was not familiar with it after all, and I really couldn't think of it for a while.

Simon didn't care too much, and quickly continued: "What I admire most is Steven's support for the film's younger generations. For example, the newcomer Zemegis was able to get the director opportunity because of Steven's support. In addition, Joe Dante, the director of "The Little Monster", the black actress Whoopi Goldberg, etc., were able to gain a foothold in Hollywood because of Steven. I also know that Zemegis once expressed gratitude to Steven and asked how to repay. Steven said, you don't have to repay me, you just need to pass on this matter and continue to help other filmmakers in need."

When Simon said this, Master Zhang basically understood, but he didn't know how to express his opinion for a while.

Moreover, this young tycoon took Steven as an example, but Mr. Zhang was also very clear that the other party discovered more new filmmakers in Hollywood and even China over the years, and the new filmmakers he had discovered in Hollywood and even in China. Otherwise, there would not be such a prosperous Daenerys Entertainment at the moment.

After drinking champagne again, he paused for a short time. Simon looked at Master Zhang with a clear expression and smiled and said, "In China, Zhang, this time "Everest" is a good practice for you. China's film industry is developing rapidly, but if there are only a few outstanding filmmakers, they will definitely not be able to support a huge market with a population of 1.2 billion. So, I hope you can also become a Spielberg in the Chinese film circle."

Simon made his attitude clear and thought about this "Mount Everest", Master Zhang suddenly understood why he could get the additional dividend of $3 million.

Perhaps, it was probably a statement from Simon Westeros.

Simply put, he will not be in vain when doing this. He will be a small gold man, with 3 million yuan, and fame and fortune.

If it were the same as before, in the 1980s, domestic resources were only a little bit, and everyone could only compete with each other. Mr. Zhang would definitely not be too willing. He was a very down-to-earth person in movies, but outside of movies, he was definitely not ignorant of world affairs, otherwise he would not be able to achieve his current achievements.

Now, seeing that the domestic film industry is indeed booming, and doing this myself, just like this time, it is definitely not a waste of work. After simple calculations, Master Zhang quickly made up his mind and nodded, just subconsciously modest: "Simon, I am just afraid that I will embarrass myself to the great task?"

Simon smiled and said, "I have great confidence in you."

"Since that's the case," Mr. Zhang asked without being too pretentious, "Simon, what should I do?"

"It's very simple, just like Steven back then," Simon said: "While taking into account one's own career, we will support newcomers more. In the film industry, newcomers want to get started, talent is one aspect, and more importantly, experience, which happens to be the advantage of you seniors. In short, if there is a senior like you as a leader, I think they can avoid many detours."

After saying this, without waiting for Mr. Zhang to guarantee again, Simon has continued: "Of course, I am a person who highly value the rewards of hard work. I hate the kind of guy who only talks about feelings with you but not money. I think that is a hooligan. So, Jinshu will carry out some share reforms in the future, you, Feng, and some other outstanding film talents. In short, as long as you are willing to stay in Jinshu for a long time, you will get a certain share. In addition, in the future projects, as long as you are named producers, the profit sharing of the future will not be less. This time, "Monday Everest" is actually a little ignored, and the terms of the share will be clearer in various contracts in the future."

Simon's words made Master Zhang even more worried and agreed repeatedly.

Mr. Wang and others who listened silently also had a lot of insights, especially someone's saying that only talks about feelings but not money is just a hooligan. The words are very rough, but they are reasonable.

After the two finished chatting, Mr. Wang finally found the opportunity to interrupt, and did not forget to raise his glass: "Simon, listening to your words is really better than reading for ten years."

Simon also raised his glass to welcome him, took a sip, and then smiled: "Wang, your compliments are a bit exaggerated, but I just happen to think that if a person can firmly practice even if there is only one correct life principle in his life, it will actually be more effective than reading a book full of books. Because the truth is always too easy to get. As long as a person has a normal IQ and is over ten years old, I think he should understand what he should understand. The only difficulty is that most people always find it difficult to do some of the simplest and correct things that they actually understand very well, so most of the world are just mediocre."

Mr. Wang nodded suddenly again.

Mr. Zhang temporarily pressed what he had just decided and followed the topic: "Simon, you are right, so Wang Yangming, a great thinker in our country during the Ming Dynasty, proposed a very classic philosophical theory called the unity of knowledge and action. It seems to be equally simple, but it is a very great idea for those who can understand it. However, it is really too difficult to do it. Just like the simplest small thing, getting up early, the plan for one day lies in the morning. Everyone understands that, without the urge to get up early, there are too few people who can take the initiative to get up early."

Everyone casually said a few words, and Mr. Wang turned the topic to his own company and took the initiative to mention what Chen Qing had already told Simon in the afternoon, about the Westeros system's concerns about the overly deep layout of China's real estate industry.

Simon also sent Mr. Wang again the sentence from "The Art of War" and continued: "So, no matter who you are, you really should read "The Art of War". This book is not only about war or business, but also brings a lot of thoughts about life. The general trend of China's economic development is there, and in addition, China will inevitably rely on the fiscal structure of selling land income. I believe that real estate will definitely become China's first pillar industry in the future, just like Japan in the past few years. Therefore, our current layout is to wait for work and not to people. Speaking of which, people have been urging me to invest in the automobile industry over the years, and I have always rejected it, because of this principle. Traditional automobile manufacturers have already made fuel vehicles to the extreme and are even going to decline. The Westeros system is now mixed with it, which is destined to be unprofitable and will only end up in a bleak situation."

In fact, it is not just the traditional automobile industry. The most typical case in Simon's memory is mobile phones.

Some manufacturers have accumulated over the years and finally exploded. Some manufacturers have innovated their production and marketing models and have reached the top. Others, seeing that others are booming, they have quickly spent money to enter. As a result, good crosstalk is not a highlight. It is even more funny to make their photos in the animation of turning on the computer, and you can imagine it if you fail in the end.

Because of the previous few meetings, Mr. Wang had always known that Simon had a deep understanding of Chinese culture, but at this time he could also read "The Art of War" and could accurately combine theory with practice. He was surprised again. He even felt a little dissatisfied with surprise and couldn't help but say: "Simon, you are talking about the world. I think it's still very attractive to China's automobile industry, because our related industries have just started. Now entering the market is also a matter of waiting for later generations."

"That's right," Simon nodded: "It's just not easy for me. The hidden barriers to China's automobile industry are too high, so I have to wait a few more years."

"Yes, it's a pity."

Mr. Wang did not refute either.

Vanke has not considered car manufacturing, but this matter is not something that can be done with money. Just like the film and television industry that has made Mr. Wang very excited these days, there are no resources or channels, and when they come in, they will only be slaughtered by fat sheep.

However, since the great god is in front of him, Mr. Wang is not embarrassed and takes the initiative to mention it.

Simon did not object and also gave suggestions that Mr. Wang could set up his own media department first, and there was no need to do it too much at the beginning. Follow the Jinshu Department to invest in some projects to try the waters, cultivate a team, and then decide whether to invest more in the future.
