Chapter 437 A Statement(1/2)
Dumei Point Manor.
The car had just stopped and Janet, who was already waiting outside the villa, came over.
Veronica Johnston stepped out of the car door and was still a serious women's black suit and black high heels.
The eyes subconsciously fell on Janet's bulging belly, and Veronica's habitual cold face showed some softness, and the corners of her mouth seemed to be picky.
"Okay, OK, Iceberg, don't force me if you can't laugh, it looks so strange." Janet came to Veronica, hugged her aunt intimately and hugged her carefully, and said, "Also, you finally want to come to see me."
Veronica gently patted Janet on the back, whispering as if explaining: "I'm very busy."
Janet just teased and did not continue the topic. He hugged Veronica's arm and turned to the Shell Villa and said, "Look, Simon's house and I are beautiful, right?"
Veronica looked up at the building that had actually seen photos in many magazines.
Because this villa with a very special design style and geographical location, a similar design trend has emerged in recent years. Veronica even knows that once the construction of Westeros Tower in Manhattan is completed, it will definitely be more dazzling than the shell villa in front of her.
After admiring Janet for a moment, Veronica nodded and said, "It's very beautiful."
Janet giggled a few times with a little smugness, continued to hold Veronica's arm and said, "Let's go in and take you to visit first. In addition, I have prepared the room for you and will stay here in the past two days."
Veronica shook her head and said, "I have booked my room at Hilton and my luggage has been delivered."
"Then let it go. If you don't live in Los Angeles but stay in a hotel instead, the media will definitely guess randomly. These days are already annoying enough."
Janet said, and did not forget to turn around and instruct Neil Bennett, who had picked up Veronica, to go to Hilton to pick up his luggage.
Veronica hesitated for a while, thinking that Simon has not been in Los Angeles in the past few days, so she has not persisted.
If not... she wouldn't have come here this time.
Today is Wednesday, September 25th.
Veronica came to Los Angeles and, in addition to visiting Janet, had to deal with some MGM matters.
The two of them took a simple walk around the Shell Villa, chatting about various recent trivial matters while visiting. Of course, most of the time Janet was talking about it.
Finally, I sat down on the sofa beside the glass curtain wall near the sea in the villa. It was still past ten o'clock in the morning.
At the end of September, the sun was just right in the morning, and the blue sky, white clouds and sea outside the curtain wall were even more beautiful.
He snuggled up next to Veronica in a bit of entanglement, Janet said: "Put your work aside first, lunch is already being prepared. If you are tired, you can rest after eating. Now, well, when should it be now?"
Veronica took the water cup handed over by Girl D, thanked her, and replied to Janet: "It should be over five in the morning, and I slept on the plane, so I don't need to rest."
"Our 767 is very good, right? Unfortunately, Simon comes back the day after tomorrow and the plane will go to Europe to pick up people, otherwise he can also take you back."
Veronica came here today, and after dealing with the matter here tomorrow and the next two days, she would rush back to Australia on the afternoon of the 27th. Simon would probably return to Los Angeles from Europe almost the same time.
In fact, it is certainly no problem to stagger the time slightly.
However, neither Veronica nor Janet mentioned this issue.
The two were chatting casually, and the butler Alice Ferguson came over with a folder, greeted Veronica, and handed the folder to Janet and said, "Mr. Norman has prepared the statement. Madam, if there is no problem, it will be published in the Los Angeles Times tomorrow."
Janet flips the folder.
With the release of the new Forbes 400 American Rich List, recently people have claimed that Simon's parents want to recognize their relatives. Simon and Janet also made some minor mistakes in the response strategy discussed at the time. A couple who were bribed and deliberately guided the matter to a farce suddenly publicly admitted in the media that they had collected money, which caused a stir of public opinion.
The imagination of the media is always very rich.
The exposure of the money-collecting couple makes the whole thing look more like a farce.
However, some people question whether there are other unspeakable inside stories behind the incident.
Although no one found out who bribed the couple, Simon himself became the object of suspicion of some media.
After several discussions between Simon and Janet over the phone, they decided to make a complete decision.
The basic content of this statement is: Simon Westeros has known his life experience and has dealt with it properly in private. In view of this, all those who try to recognize their relatives may only be impostors, and Simon Westeros will not respond to any matters related to this in the future.
This statement is certainly true for Simon.
However, Janet certainly didn't know something.
Because Janet was right beside her, Veronica also looked at the statement document in her hand. Something strange appeared in her expression, and she looked at Janet with some anxiety.
He asked her to keep this secret forever.
She just kept this secret tightly, even though Janet misunderstood something, she had never explained it.
Now.
Did he tell Jenny?
Janet read the statement in her hand carefully twice and handed it to the butler beside her and said, "No problem, let George send it out."
When the butler walked away, Janet looked at her aunt again, noticed the flashing in Veronica's eyes, and asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
Veronica tried to calm herself down and said as if nothing had happened: "Simon, has he found his parents?"
Janet shook his head, nodded again, and said, "Recently, anyway, you should know that every time the Forbes list was released in recent years, many people would jump out and claim to be Simon's parents, so we wanted to end a similar farce with the statement just now. Actually, I think Simon should know who his parents are, but he refused to tell me, and he must have had a bad life when he was a child, and he had no intention of recognizing his relatives."
Veronica actually doesn't want her family to know something.
However, when she heard Simon not telling Janet, she suddenly became a little worried and said, "Jenny, how are he good to you?"
Janet picked up the small fruit plate that Girl D had just delivered from the coffee table in front of her, ate the fruit with a fork, heard this, blinked a few times, and smiled and said, "Of course."
"Well," Veronica pointed to Janet's belly and said, "He's going to Europe this time?"
"After he became pregnant, he would come back to get off work on time with me at five o'clock every day. He rarely got off work before six o'clock. This time he went to Europe, there was no way. The project "Wonder Woman" is very important to Daenerys Entertainment."
Janet explained, then slanted over his aunt and rubbed it, saying, "That, although the little bastard has some extraordinary thoughts, he is really good to me. Iceberg, you, um... Just stay away from him, oh, oh, don't let him succeed, otherwise it will be too bad."
Because he was not sure of the reason, Janet was sure that Simon had an insignificant thought about his aunt.
Other times, she is still used to calling Veronica's "Iceberg". It's a habit from childhood to adulthood. How could it be easy to change in a short period of time? However, in order to remind a guy, in front of him, she now deliberately changed the name Veronica's "Aunt".
But, it doesn't seem to have any effect.
Janet occasionally wonders, what if someone really succeeds, what should I do if I change it myself?
A big fight?
She doesn't have this attribute at all in her bones and will not make a big fuss with others.
Beat him?
Too light.
What's more, thinking about his own man's physique, even if he doesn't fight back, she will probably not have much effect when she hits it, unless she uses a guy.
Kill him?
Yes, I can't bear to bear it.
Divorce him?
Haven't thought about it.
cold war?
This is too lethal.
Even, she felt that if this kind of thing really happened, it would not seem that serious?
Veronica had already explained that night last time. Seeing Janet start talking nonsense again, she could only glar at her helplessly, but stopped talking, just pretending that she didn't hear it.
At 11 o'clock, Girl D came over to remind her that the lunch was ready.
After lunch, although she had already rested on the plane, Veronica was sent by Janet to take a nap in the arranged room.
I just slept for more than an hour and woke up at less than two o'clock in the afternoon.
When he arrived downstairs, Janet was talking on the phone with Simon, who was far away in Italy, in a sea-facing living room on the east side of the villa hall.
Sitting quietly by listening to Janet and Simon talking. It seemed that it was already late at night in Italy. On the other side, it was obviously very patient, so I felt relieved.
The crew of "Wonder Woman" has recently been stationed in the city of Naples in southern Italy.
Naples is also a historic metropolis in Italy. The famous ancient city of Pompeii is just outside Naples. There are also many architectural relics from ancient Greece and Roman times near this city, which is suitable for the filming of Paradise Island.
Simon stayed in Venice for one night and arrived in Naples the next day.
The next week I personally followed up on the filming of "Wonder Woman".
In order to match Simon's schedule, the crew specially arranged an important battle scene this week, which was the battle the Germans followed Steve to Paradise Island to meet with the Amazons.
After continuous training in films such as "Batman: The Moment of War", "Batman: The Dark Knight", "The Flash", etc., the strength of the team behind the scenes cultivated by Daenerys Entertainment is fully demonstrated in this scene.
The important reason why the series of films in the original time and space is still very outstanding without the control of a big-name director is the strong behind-the-scenes action special effects team.
Simon took this very seriously from the beginning.
Not only that, Simon's director Martin Campbell selected for "Wonder Woman" is also stronger than the new director promoted by the Marvel Cinematic Universe in memory.
Although for Hollywood, Simon's three first choices, Jane De Bunt of the Batman series, Martin Campbell of the Wonder Woman series, and Roland Emmerich of the Superman series can only be considered newcomers or second-tier directors.
However, only Simon himself knows that these people have a much greater potential than those real new directors in their memory.
Having considered personal style and other elements in advance, several directors cherished the opportunity quite a bit, and none of them dared to act freely.
Therefore, from "Batman: The Dark Knight" to "Wonder Woman", or including Warner's "The Flash" that will be released at the end of the year, the success of the three films, "Batman: The Dark Knight", has been proven, and the shooting results of the other two have also met Simon's expectations.
To be continued...
