Simon and Janet left the house together early and rushed from Malibu to Santa Monica to meet Catherine.

After everyone had breakfast together, Simon sent two more women to Los Angeles International Airport.

It is Monday, August 27th.

Janet is going to fly to New York to busy Cersei Capital.

Catherine has completed the filming of "The Stunning Point" during this period and is still staying on the West Coast for the late stage. This time she used a shuttle for the New York Film Festival in September, and the woman was invited to serve as a judge of this film festival.

After saying goodbye, the Boeing 767 roared out of the airport runway.

When the plane was stable, Katherine unbuttoned her seat belt and subconsciously looked at the ground through the porthole. Los Angeles International Airport was not in sight, so it was naturally even more impossible to see a figure next to the runway.

It must have left.

He looks so busy all day.

Janet also untied her seat belt, noticed Catherine's gaze, smiled and glanced out of the porthole, and said, "You'll start missing me so soon?"

Katherine glared at Janet softly: "Don't make such a joke, you're all married."

Janet grinned and called C girl Claire Gain, asked for a glass of water, and asked Catherine what to drink.

Just asked for a glass of water, Catherine saw Janet get up and walk to the wide couch on the other side to sit down, and turned on the TV, but did not get up.

This is the living room on the upper level of the front cabin of the Boeing 767.

Although Simon is still a little despised, it is already very luxurious in Catherine's eyes. Until now, I can still occasionally see some people in the newspaper criticizing him for being too extravagant.

However, thinking about the recent articles discussing his latest net worth in the media, such an airplane doesn't seem to be anything.

The Los Angeles Times also reported in the Los Angeles Times two days ago that due to the sudden outbreak of the Kuwait War, Cersei Capital relied on the operation of the crude oil futures market to make billions of dollars in profits. In order to explore Simon's more detailed asset numbers, the Forbes US 400 Rich List was specially postponed this year's list.

Claire sent two glasses of water over, and Catherine said thank you softly. When Girl C left, she also took back her thoughts and asked Janet next to her: "Jenny, you fly around between New York and Los Angeles every week. Is it really okay?"

Janet lay on the couch with no image and looked through a document. After hearing Catherine say this, she knew the subtext in her words, shook her head and said, "No."

Catherine thought Janet didn't understand what she was doing, so she had to make it clear and said, "You and Simon are only married for less than half a year?"

Janet supported her upper body, raised her naked feet behind her and put them down, and after a moment, she said, "Kate, the little bastard is only 22 years old."

"Um?"

"If I were 22 years old, I would definitely wait for him to get married one day before getting married. But... you know, I can't wait any longer and tie him up first. But he is not ready yet."

Catherine understands it.

Cersei Capital wanted to set up a branch in Los Angeles, or even set its headquarters here, so that Janet did not need to run around and around, which was completely easy. However, Janet did this just to leave some personal space for Simon, who was actually not ready to accept a marriage life.

I couldn't help but think of myself.

as well as.

The first of the first.

Although he knew that it was unlikely that he and that little man, it would be a complete lie to Janet intervene in and snatch him away if there was really no grudge.

However, Janet does love him more than herself.

At least, if she really got married to him, she would never accommodate him and other women who were confused.

Um.

Perhaps, not that sure.

Thinking of what Janet once said, how could such an outstanding man have only one woman?

He talked to Janet casually, and Catherine took out the information about the film nominated for the New York Film Festival from her bag to pass the time.

A moment later, Janet called Claire again, handed her the information she had just read, and said, "Let Haoke Beach go hell and change another company. In addition, we will also need our advance payment back, and we must not lose a penny."

Claire hesitated and asked carefully: "Ms. Westeros, what's the reason?"

Janet waved his hand and said, "Let them find it yourself."

Claire had to leave with the information.

Katherine waited for Girl C to leave before asking, "What's wrong?"

Janet picked up the cup from the coffee table and sat down opposite Catherine, took a few sips of water, and said, "Simon and I planned to build two private hangars in the Los Angeles Airport to specialize in storing and maintaining several private jets in our hands. Haoke Beach actually made a budget of $35 million, which was twice as much as I expected. If they wanted to slaughter fat sheep, I could only make them unable to make a penny."

Katherine smiled and roughly understood what kind of company Janet mentioned was probably a company.

I was just a little curious and said, "Can I build a private hangar at Los Angeles International Airport?"

Jenny said in a very rich tone: "Of course, as long as you give enough money."

Katherine couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Speaking of this, Simon actually wanted to build a private airport that belongs to him.

However, it is too conspicuous to do this in the short term, so I simply chose to cooperate with Los Angeles International Airport.

The entire Westeros system, including Simon's Boeing 767 car and the Gulfstream IV that was bought and sold for Westeros, as well as the rented private jets under Daenerys Entertainment and Gucci, already owns 4 private jets, and there will be more in the future. Therefore, it is still necessary to build a private hangar and form a dedicated service team in Los Angeles.

Although it is a bit troublesome to work with Los Angeles International Airport, as Janet said, as long as you give enough money, there is nothing you can't do.

Saying the two women away, Simon rushed to Daenerys Cinema.

A senior meeting will be held in the morning to discuss the company's various development plans for the second half of the year.

When they arrived at the large conference room in Building 1, Amy Pascal, Robert Eiger, Nancy Brill, Ella Deutchman, Danny Morris, Robert Rem, Mark Belford and other Daenerys Entertainment executives have arrived early, and even Stan Lee, who is in charge of Marvel, appears here today.

When Simon entered the door, everyone was gathering together and chatting enthusiastically.

Seeing Simon appear, everyone stepped forward to say hello. Simon greeted everyone and asked Amy casually: "What are you talking about?"

Amy handed over a newest Forbes magazine and added: "I have to declare first that Simon, I didn't reveal the news."

Forbes magazine is a weekly magazine, with one issue per week.

However, although this magazine is famous, it is not in Simon's reading list. If there are any articles that Simon needs to pay attention to, it is often compiled by the female assistant so that he can read it.

Recently, Forbes contacted Simon again, hoping that he could cooperate with the new year's rich list statistics, and Simon also refused as usual.

Take the magazine from Amy, Simon signaled everyone to sit down and sit down at the conference table.

Looking at the magazine page in my hand, there was a line of eye-catching black titles: 'Billion Executive Club'.

A quick glance at the content.

Forbes obviously did a lot of "work" during this period. The article explored Daenerys Entertainment's financial data in the first half of the year and Cersei Capital's profit in the crude oil futures market some time ago.

However, the focus of the hype content in this article is the expected 1990 salary of several partners of Cersei Fund Management and Amy Pascal from Daenerys Entertainment.

According to known data, Forbes magazine made a judgment that in 1990, the entire Westeros system, not counting Simon and his wife, would be seven others who could earn $100 million in revenue, namely six partners who hold 5% of each of Cersei Fund Management and Amy Pascal, who could receive 5% of Daenerys Entertainment's annual profit plus an equal amount of equity reward.

When Forbes magazine previously announced that it would postpone this year's 400 Rich List and Global Rich List due to Simon's personal reasons, many media began to explore the asset and financial figures of the entire Westeros system.

The more statistics are, the more shocking it is.

The calculations from Forbes magazine are basically the same as the facts, but compared with many recent exposure materials that are eye-catching, they are actually not too dazzling.

certainly.

For a large group of executives in the conference room who were roughly on the same level as Amy, it was obviously a different feeling.

Annual income of over 100 million is definitely a miracle for professional managers.

Anyone with a little ambition probably won't be indifferent to this.

Pressing the magazine in front of him, Simon swept to everyone in the conference room and said, "I think you should all know that the content in this report is true. You are not familiar with Cersei Fund Management, and Amy is very familiar with everyone."

Simon himself confirmed that even though he had partially confirmed from Amy, there was still some commotion in the office.

He raised his hand and suppressed it, Simon continued: "I can only say that the current annual salary of $100 million is just the beginning. The entire Westeros system is very big and very large, enough for you to display your talents, and there will not be only a few positions with annual income of over 100 million. Now in the circle, I feel that I am very harsh on celebrities and do not want to provide them with the same high salary as other studios. In fact, it is not because I am unwilling to pay, I will only give the price I think is reasonable. The same is true for you. As long as you pay enough for this company, I am happy to pay any of you a salary of over 100 million."

If such a promise is in another company, everyone will probably treat it as a short check. However, sitting in the conference room at this time, no one thinks that Simon is just making an empty promise.

Therefore, until the meeting ended at noon, many people were still immersed in a certain kind of ambition.

After lunch, Simon and Stan Lee, who still had not left, came to the second floor of the Cinema to work in the LOFT area. The team from Marvel West Coast has moved this movie.

With the success of "Batman: The Moment of War" and the unfolding of the DC movie universe, the Marvel Entertainment team has proposed to Simon more than once to develop a Marvel superhero movie, and Simon has never let go.

Under the current conditions, it may be fine to develop one or two Marvel superhero single-player movies after selection, but if you want to create the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the special effects technology at this time cannot be supported at all.

However, after several discussions, Simon agreed to a compromise plan.

In the next few years, Marvel will invest in and develop a series of 2D animated movies of Marvel superheroes. The specifications are roughly like DC superhero animated movies in the original time and space. The level of PG-13 is 70 to 90 minutes each. It does not enter theaters, but is directly distributed through videotapes and TV channels.

Marvel was originally an animation production team in the San Fernando Valley on the West Coast, and has been producing TV cartoons for children.

Now that he has made the decision, Simon approved a $15 million budget for the first animated film, of which $12 million is used for production and $3 million is used for promotion and promotion.

Because it is directly targeted at videotapes and TV channels, it is not as complicated as big-screen animated movies in technology, and can be completed in about a year.

After all, it was the first one, and Simon patiently gave the Marvel animation team a one-and-a-half production cycle.

However, the budget of $15 million is equivalent to the net profit figure of Marvel Entertainment in three years at this time. Simon's attitude is very clear. If he messes up, Marvel will be at ease in making comics in the future and don't think about anything else.

After finally letting Simon give in, the Marvel team cherished this opportunity very much. Not only did they choose its most popular "Spider-Man", Stan Lee, who was originally based in New York, also came to Los Angeles specifically and planned to follow up on the project preparations on the West Coast in person.

The first "Spider-Man" animated film will tell the origin as usual. Simon listened to Stan Lee explaining the plot concept himself, but once again reminded him not to make a young child film, and at the same time, he planned the image of animated characters. The image of each superhero in the future projects will be different. This is a place where Simon is very dissatisfied with DC animated films in his memory. Even the animation images of popular characters such as Superman and Batman have changed.
