Chapter 204(1/2)
Hearing this, Sandra obviously moved towards Simon, but pretended to be curious and asked: "What are Jenny going to France for?"
"I plan to buy some properties in Europe," Simon explained. When he saw Terry Semel walking over, he stood up and shook his hand with some surprise, and said: "Terry, I didn't expect you to come over tonight.
It’s really surprising.”
"Mel is here too, he is chatting with Pascal," Terry Semel smiled, shook Simon's hand, and said hello to Sandra: "Good evening, Miss Bullock, you are so beautiful tonight.
"
"Thank you, Mr. Semel."
Sandra also stood up with Simon. Seeing that Terry Semel obviously wanted to talk to Simon, she glanced at Simon and walked away on her own initiative.
Terry Semel sat down with Simon again and said, "I heard the ratings for Scream didn't go well?"
Simon picked up the tableware, looked at the sincere expression of concern on Terry Semel's face, nodded, and said in a relaxed tone: "It's not a big problem."
Unlike the Motion Picture and Television Producers Alliance of America, which is joined by hundreds of film and television production companies, the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) has always been in the hands of only a few major film companies, and the directors of the association are basically the top leaders of each major film company.
"Scream" has encountered obvious suppression this time. It is difficult to say whether Warner has any involvement in it.
Terry Semel felt Simon's faint tone and understood that it was impossible to regard this young man as an amateur. However, he still added: "If you need any help, you can always come to me."
Simon had a smile on his face and said, "Of course, I will."
Terry Semel suddenly felt that he had just talked about "Scream", so he simply bypassed it and talked about "Batman": "The studio thing, Simon, I know you
I rented from Fox Studios because I live close to Malibu, but Warner's studios can give you more cooperation and support."
Daenerys Entertainment did not have its own studio yet, so during this time back, Simon rented a special studio at Fox Studios for filming tests and actor rehearsals for "Batman".
After hearing this, Simon seemed to have forgotten about "Scream" and chatted with Terry Semel about the preparations for "Batman". After a while, Mel Gibson took his wife Robin
Moore came over to say hello, and everyone discussed "One Flew Over Childhood" again.
In this way, people came and went to socialize, and Simon quickly filled his stomach.
After Terry Semel and others left, Sandra came over again and unceremoniously took the position of Simon's female companion tonight.
Just after chatting for a while with Robert Egger, who flew over from the East Coast, Madonna, wearing a white low-cut evening dress tonight, appeared next to Simon and recommended herself very straightforwardly: "Simon, I heard that you are
We’re preparing for Lawrence Kasdan’s “The Bodyguard,” how about I be the heroine?”
Simon nodded to Robert Egger, and then said to Madonna very bluntly: "Not very good."
Madonna was very dissatisfied: "Hey, it's really ungentlemanly for you to reject a lady so abruptly."
Simon looked around and asked with a smile: "Why don't you see Sean?"
When Madonna heard Simon mention Sean Penn, her tone was obviously no longer as disgusting as before, and she said: "Of course he has his own affairs, and we haven't grown together."
Calculating the time, Madonna has just signed an acting contract with CAA in recent months. It seems that she has already connected with Warren Beatty, the number one playboy in Hollywood, and may star in each other's next step like the original time and space.
Her marriage to Sean Penn also ended in the movie "The Greatest Detective".
It is common for men and women to break up and get back together in Hollywood. Simon didn't bother to pay too much attention and said: "Maggie, it's really a pity. We already have a candidate for the heroine of "The Bodyguard"."
"Can I know who it is?" Madonna obviously thought that Simon was perfunctory. She glanced at Sandra next to him and said, "It can't be Sandy, can it?"
"Of course not," Simon shook his head and said without hiding it, "Whitney Houston."
Although it was a few years ahead of schedule, Whitney Houston, who debuted around the same time as Madonna in 1983, has also reached the peak of her career in the past two years, and the other party also intends to develop into Hollywood.
When Madonna heard this, she was a little disdainful and blurted out without concealment: "Simon, Whitney Houston is a black man. Even if you don't want me to try to play the heroine, there is no need to find a black man, right? I've seen it
Script, "The Bodyguard" is a romance movie."
Racial discrimination is deeply rooted in this country. Simon was not surprised by the obvious racial bias in Madonna's tone. Sandra next to him did not make a fuss after hearing these words. Instead, she showed some expressions similar to Madonna's.
Explore expressions.
"Whitney Houston's current fame is enough to make up for the disadvantage of her skin color," Simon thought to himself, and explained patiently: "Moreover, the emotional scenes in this movie are also of a point-and-click type.
There's nothing wrong with having Whitney Houston."
"Well, it's not a movie I paid for anyway," Madonna shrugged and was about to walk away when she suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Simon, do you still remember our original agreement? In "
What conditions did you agree to when we were on the set of Pulp Fiction?”
Of course Simon remembered that in order to get Madonna to cooperate with the filming, he agreed to be the guitarist for the Queen's concert: "You don't seem to have any concert plans recently, right?"
"Indeed not, I'm just reminding you in case you forget," Madonna smiled, stretched out her hand to touch Simon's chest, and said: "A super rich man is going to come to my concert to be a guitarist, I'm a little excited just thinking about it.
"
Simon reluctantly opened Madonna's little paw and said: "If you are too excited, there are many rooms in the villa, you can find one and touch yourself."
Madonna didn't mind Simon's teasing at all, but instead gave him a wink: "Do you want to see it? Find a room and I'll touch it for you."
Simon shook his head very firmly: "I don't want to."
"Hey, what a duplicitous man he is."
Madonna narcissistically gave Simon the final word, raised her red lips and blew him a kiss, then turned and walked away with a smile.
Simon watched Madonna walk away, and was about to take Sandra to greet other guests when three beautiful women in gorgeous evening gowns came over with a gust of fragrance. This was "The Housewives of Beverly Hills"
Three of the six leading actors, due to Simon's personal preference, the leading actors in The Beautiful Wife selected by Daenerys Entertainment did not have as crazy plastic surgery faces as in the original time and space, at least they all looked very normal on the surface.
Because it was to be broadcast on the public television network, American society in the 1980s was not as open as it would be more than a decade later. Therefore, Simon made great adjustments to the positioning of the new version of "The Housewives of Beverly Hills" to reduce the number of housewives.
The sex scenes tend to show the daily life of upper-class American women.
There is a very large group of housewives in the United States. Simon's ultimate goal is to make "The Housewives of Beverly Hills" and other subsequent "Housewife" series that may be produced in the future to be imitated by North American housewives in terms of clothing, recipes and other lifestyle habits.
.
Prior to this, Simon did not talk too much about this with the person in charge of the project team. He simply wrote this concept on the project draft. In his heart, he actually had a lot of doubts about whether "The Beautiful Housewives of Beverly Hills" would be successful.
Big doubts.
Now, since this show has received good ratings, although CBS is very disappointed that "The House of Beverly Hills" ranks last among the four reality shows, it still announced the renewal, and Simon can go deeper.
Discover the potential of this show.
Speaking of which, although "The Beverly Housewife" has the worst ratings among several reality shows, its syndication potential for distribution to other local and overseas TV stations is the greatest. Audiences may have watched "Survivor"
Or "Who Will Be a Millionaire", if you know the final result, you will not be interested in replaying it, but this is obviously not the case with "The Housewives of Beverly Hills". In order to more deeply imitate the exquisite life of these upper-class housewives, the audience
They even spend money to buy videotapes, which are unmatched by the other three reality shows.
Not many women who can enter the circle of Beverly Hills are simple-minded. When they heard Simon elaborate on the idea of building "The Housewives of Beverly Hills" into a brand, their eyes became more and more eager. The women obviously realized that if
If they can achieve this, not only can they start their own careers outside of this reality show, but their families will also benefit from it.
Noticing Simon's eagerness to chat, the other three housewives also left their husbands behind and came over with great interest.
After half an hour of this, the women walked away satisfied.
In the courtyard of the mansion, Sandra watched a group of charming women leaving. She noticed that Simon was trying to put his hands in his pockets as if nothing had happened. She reached over and grabbed a few business cards hidden in his palm, but she did not dare.
Being too arrogant aroused the attention of the surrounding guests, so he stuffed it directly into his bag, and then gave Simon a fierce look.
Simon smiled and reached out to take out Sandra's bag: "At least leave one for me?"
"Don't even think about it," Sandra raised her bag and slapped the back of Simon's hand. She suddenly realized that even if she 'confiscated' these business cards, it would be very easy for him to get the contact information of those women.
So he chased after him angrily and patted Simon on the shoulder, saying, "You little bastard."
Time passed quickly in the lively party, and starting at ten o'clock, the guests began to leave one after another.
By early morning, the guests had almost dispersed.
Sandra stayed patiently until the end, directing the staff of the party company to clean up the mess like a hostess.
After sending the team from the party company away, it was already close to one o'clock in the morning, and the mansion was completely empty.
Very satisfied with the results of her work, Sandra looked at the neat mansion all the way to the backyard. Simon was standing by the railing on the edge of the cliff. She walked over quietly and stood beside him quietly to look at it together.
The city lights on the dark side of the bay were obviously sparse, and I began to enjoy the quiet and peaceful atmosphere without realizing it.
After a few minutes of this, Sandra couldn't help but said first: "Hey, are you thinking about how to drive me away?"
When Simon heard Sandra's voice, he came back to his senses. He looked sideways at her face, which although not very beautiful, was definitely very attractive. He reached out and touched it, and said with a smile: "Of course not. As a man, I'm sure
I hope more women will like the appointments I made."
Sandra felt the gentle caress of Simon's fingertips, and for a moment she moved closer to the man with some emotion.
Simon lowered his head and kissed Sandra on the lips in cooperation, but he only kissed her for a moment. After they separated, he said with a smile: "Okay, that's it, don't be too greedy."
"Obviously what you just said is greedy," Sandra was a little dissatisfied, but she didn't bother her anymore. She and Simon lay on the railing again, raised the Kunbao in their hands and said, "Those business cards are still there, do you want them?
Take it away.”
Simon shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm not used to being the object of lust."
Sandra was stunned for a moment, then understood, and snorted a few times mockingly.
In the eyes of those housewives, Simon, a young man like Simon who has already accumulated so much wealth and fame at just twenty years old, is undoubtedly a super attractive target.
With this thought in mind, Sandra stayed with him quietly for a while, then said, "Then, what should we do tonight?"
Simon said: "Have you seen "When Harry Met Sally"?"
