Malibu, Daenerys Cinema.

It is Monday, May 17th.

The production meeting for "Forrest Gump" was almost noon. After lunch with Robert Zemegis, Tom Hanks and others, they saw each other off. Simon and Daenerys Films president Tom Pollack returned to the administrative district office building.

The two entered the office building elevator, and Tom Pollack told Simon: "At a cocktail party in Belaire on Saturday, Orwitz mentioned to me about the sequel to "Jurassic Park"."

Simon just nodded and asked casually: "What should Orwitz say?"

Last Friday, "Jurassic Park" was officially removed from the North American mainland, and the media began to pay attention to this series of sequels that had not been promoted for a long time. Daenerys Entertainment delayed for half a year. Even if it felt unlikely that it would be replaced, it would be difficult for Spielberg to remain reserved.

Tom Pollack said: "Owitz suggests that I'm lobbying Steven to set up his own big studio, and if we can't sign the contract for the Jurassic Park sequel as soon as possible, Steven may not have enough energy to focus on the project next."

Simon directly said a person's name: "David Geffen?"

Tom Pollack was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Have you heard of it too?"

David Geffen is the founder of Geffen Records. Geffen Records was originally affiliated with Warner Records. In the past few years, Geffen and Steve Rose fell out due to the Time Warner merger case, Geffen Records switched to Universal Records and further became part of the current Daenerys Records Group.

When MCA acquired Geffen Records in a share exchange, Daenerys Entertainment acquired MCA, David Geffen, who owns about 10% of MCA's shares, cashed out and left the market. Due to the restrictive agreement, Geffen has been unable to re-enter the record field in recent years and has begun to try to invest in movies.

Simon didn't have the heart to inquire about various gossips in Hollywood, and the information in his memory was enough for him to sort out a lot of clues.

However, in the face of Pollack's doubts, Simon nodded slightly and said directly: "According to the plan we discussed at the beginning, continue to perfunctory Steven's side, and then choose the right time to announce the change of director."

Tom Pollack paused, nodded, and said nothing.

Simon also knew Pollack's thoughts. This former Universal Pictures executive who was more conservative in character always felt that it was not safe enough to replace Spielberg. He had already explained that he was thinking. Simon did not intend to continue wasting the verbal convincing his subordinates, but only needed the other party to execute.

Come to his office on the top floor, Nancy Brill is already waiting here.

Seeing Simon come in, the small senior executive who was sitting on the sofa in the reception area looking through a document stood up and shook hands with Simon, then sat down again.

Girl A followed Simon in, put down a few documents, and personally served coffee to the two of them, and then quietly left the office.

Nancy's eyes followed the girl A fell in the direction of the closed door, retracted her gaze, looked at Simon quietly, and said, "Men are really tired of the old and old."

Simon picked up the coffee and took a sip, leaned on the sofa and opened the box office report for last weekend, saying, "This is already very old, and I plan to change it to a new one recently. Are you interested?"

Nancy gave Simon a blank look: "Do you think it is appropriate for me, the president of the group, to demote you as an assistant?"

Simon shook his head: "You are wrong, the group president is still yours. I mean to help me warm the bed."

Nancy said: "I think I should bring a recorder when talking to you in the future, so that I can record a lot of evidence of sexual harassment."

Simon decisively changed the subject: "Okay, talk about the serious business."

Nancy couldn't help but roll her eyes again and said, "I recently looked for several executives for Blockbuster Entertainment."

Simon wondered: "Is there any problem?"

Nancy said: "It requires your consent."

The small senior executive said, handing over a document she was looking through when Simon entered the door.

Simon took it and opened it, and the name on the first page stunned him.

Robert Shay.

Founder of Xinyi Film.

After thinking about it, Simon continued to put it down, and then he saw the names of the brothers, Harvey Weinstein and Bob Weinstein.

Without carefully reading the contents of the three resumes, Simon closed the folder and looked at Nancy opposite him: "Tell me what you think?"

Nancy said: "The new line will start asset auction next month. After the liquidation is over, Robert Shay will definitely be in this circle. And the Weinstein brothers. After you asked me to take a picture of Miramax's film library last time, I have investigated the brothers. Although I don't understand the joints, I think it's not just this new line, but the previous bankruptcy of Miramax should be the result of your manipulation."

Simon didn't argue on the surface, and he had to admire the keen awareness of this little woman.

Daenerys Entertainment's targeting of the bankruptcy of New Line Film this time is very obvious.

However, for Miramax, Simon just asked James Rebel to Miramax's creditor Chase Manhattan Bank in private. Few people know about this. Unexpectedly, Nancy only contacted herself based on Simon asking her to take pictures of Miramax film library.

Since it was guessed, Simon did not deny it and said, "Since that's the case, you still dare to recruit these people, and do you think they will agree to join Blockbuster Entertainment?"

Nancy did not hear Simon's denial, raised her eyebrows slightly, and then said, "As long as you agree, the rest is my business."

Simon asked, "Why are these three?"

Nancy said: "Robert Shay is an excellent film company manager, with rich experience, very proficient in production and distribution, and is frugal enough, cautious in character, and never squander. The Weinstein brothers are the kind of filmmakers who are very adventurous. Although some like to rush around, this personality that is not bound by the traditional Hollywood pattern is exactly what this traditional conservative circle lacks the most."

Simon nodded slightly, but said, "Even if two people with different styles can be taken by them, do you think you can let them cooperate with each other?"

Nancy said again: "This is my business."

Simon looked at the small woman who was only 1.55 meters on the sofa opposite and said, "But if you mess up, I will be the boss."

"A good boss should be able to allow subordinates to fail."

"Okay, I agree."

“…”

"It seems that you have a high opinion of me in private."

“Not high at all.”

"Don't do this, it's not good for women to speak well."

“…”

"Okay, I'm not kidding," Simon admired the depressing expressions of a small senior executive and smiled: "You should understand these three people that although New Line and Miramax are just second- and third-tier film companies, they have been bosses after all. They are used to being at the top of others, and it is not easy to make them willing to help you manage the company."

Nancy retorted: "Didn't Peter Cooper and Jung Peterson of Columbia and Shirley Lansing of MGM be their bosses?"

"It's different," Simon shook his head and said, "They were used to working with large studios, but Robert Shea and others have always been outside the studio system."

Nancy smiled and said, "In my opinion, it's just that they don't have the chance to work with big studios."

Simon paused, thinking about some information in his memory, what Nancy said was not without reason.

In the original time and space, Miramax and the New Line were actually subsidiaries of large media groups such as Disney and Time Warner. Strictly speaking, neither the Weinstein brothers nor Robert Shay can be regarded as the boss of their own film company, but prefer professional managers.

However, both the former Xin Line and Miramax have strong autonomy. Therefore, in many people's impression, the three of them still seem to be the boss of their own company.

After thinking for a while, Simon shrugged and said, "Okay, actually I just want to say that all three of them should have very strong personalities, and it is not easy to control them."

Nancy tilted her head slightly and said, "Do you think it's easy for me to control it?"

Simon was stunned, then smiled and said, "I can control you with just one finger."

Simon was just hinting that he was very strong, but unexpectedly, Nancy's face suddenly turned red and she stared at a guy and said, "Boss, if you do this again, I really want to sue you for sexual harassment."

Looking at the little woman's embarrassed look, Simon immediately understood, raised his hand slightly to surrender, and couldn't help saying, "So, you'd better find a girlfriend as soon as possible. Single women are so pitiful."

This time it was Nancy who was stunned: "Female...girlfriend?"

Simon shrugged: "I never advise women to find a boyfriend."

"Is it also looking for you if I want to find it?"

"yes."

"Arrogant guy." Nancy felt that she had no strength to roll her eyes, so she simply got up from the sofa, stepped on the high heels that she had habitually loosened whenever she went, and said, "Since you agree, I'll go to work."

Simon then stood up and handed Nancy the information of Robert Shay and the other two.

Nancy walked towards Simon, just now coming closer, before she could reach out to receive the information, her body suddenly tilted and fell to the sofa next to her with a light cry.

Simon watched the small woman fall on the sofa and still maintain the position of handing in her hand. He paused, gestured to gesture on his chest and said, "So, there is no need for you to wear such high heels. Your height has not increased much. Sometimes it is quite dangerous."

Nancy sat on the sofa, took a deep breath, stared at the man in front of her and said, "Why didn't you help me just now?"

"I didn't react."

“…”

"Okay, it's actually because you don't have any danger. My sofas are of good quality."

“…”

What else Simon wanted to say? The little woman on the sofa had already stood up, then bullied Simon, reached out to hug the man's waist, and a beautiful face with a slightly blush came over.

Feeling the faint fragrance from the nose, Simon threw away the document in his hand and just put his hands on Nancy's waist, thinking about whether to hold the person in his arms up. The woman's red lips were approaching, and then she had a mouthful of pearl-like white teeth, and then a sudden burst of pain came from her chin.

"ah……"

Amid the man's cry of pain, Nancy easily took off a guy's arms, picked up Simon's thrown on the sofa and walked to the office door. After opening the door, she turned around and said, "Boss, this time I'm just a warning. Next time I will bite out blood marks that will not fade for a month."

After saying that, he left with his longevity.

After joining the company, A occupied the outer room directly connecting Simon's office, so she heard the man's cry of pain and the words Nancy stood at the door. She watched a small senior executive leave with barefoot figure after leaving a "harsh words". After hesitating for a moment, Alison got up and came to the door and knocked on the door.

Simon had returned to his desk and looked at the tooth marks on his chin in front of the computer screen. He noticed the figure of A, thought for a while and said, "A, help me find a band-aid, bigger."

Alison looked at the two rows of obvious tooth marks on his boss's chin, endured some smiles and inexplicable envy in his heart, and said, "Boss, it seems that he has no bleeding and no need for a band-aid."

"I know there is no bleeding, but I have to cover up the meeting with Barry Weiss later."

Alison couldn't help but curl up his lips, entered the office, closed the door, went to the locker in the corner of the office to find the emergency medicine box for daily use, opened it and flipped it out, took out a box of band stickers and came to the man.

Simon leaned on the leather chair and said happily: "Press it for me, and stick it carefully to look better."

Girl A nodded, holding a band-aid in her hand, looking at the handsome and angular face of the man who had slightly closed his eyes on the leather chair and rested for a short time. Although it was not the first time that he was so close to him, he realized that this was the first time she could take the initiative.

The man opened his eyes and looked at her. Alison reacted and hurriedly stepped forward. His slender and cool fingertips gently touched the tooth mark on the man's chin. He hesitated and said softly: "Boss, you should not need to apply a band-aid. Probably, you can retreat quickly after rubbing it."

The response I got was just a soft nod.

So he put down the band-aid in his hand, got closer, and pressed a few slender fingers on the man's chin and gently rubbed them.

Feeling the aura of a man at such a close distance, my body couldn't help but feel a little hot.

Since Janet was chosen by him to come to Simon, for a few years, this man's strength, handsomeness, wealth, power, etc. have always been immersed in several girls. Because of Janet's initial hints and training, he has been waiting or looking forward to the possession of the man in front of him.

When some things never happen, some emotions become more and more profound.

However, at this moment, the opportunity was right in front of her. Girl A was moving mechanically in her hand, looking at the man who was close to her for a moment, and finally suppressed a certain idea.

Know the rules of men.

If something happened today, I would have to leave him next.
