Daniel heard Simon say this, but he didn't plan to give up. He also had his own opinion and turned back to the question and asked: "Simon, what are you going to deal with tonight's matter?"

Simon didn't mean to persuade him much.

No matter what Daniel wants to learn, Sophia will definitely give him the best conditions.

Following the boy's question back to this incident tonight, I just didn't answer directly, but asked: "Have you watched "The Godfather"?"

Daniel shook his head: "However, I've watched The Story of Fire recently."

Simon smiled and did not ask how Daniel entered the theater. The boy's appearance said he was seventeen or eighteen years old and no one would doubt it at all. He just asked, "Tell me how you feel?"

Daniel thought for a while, looked at Simon, his eyes were bright, and he said with some meaning: "Even the most vicious criminals, they have their own ties."

Simon nodded and asked again: "Will you sympathize with De Niro's role as Neil and others?"

Daniel hesitated a little and said honestly: "I really hope Neil can take Edie away in the end."

Simon said: "This is the charm of the movie. If you have watched "The Godfather", you will definitely have a sense of identity with Vito Corleon, played by Brando. However, the reality is not like this. The real Italian mafia is cold-blooded and cruel. In order to compete for territory, they will wipe out competitors, and even pregnant women and young children will not let go. In order to deter the authorities, they dare to attack the top government officials and even throw the 8-year-old child alive into the sulfate barrel. Just two years ago, in order to kill a judge in Italy who had launched many anti-black movements, they buried a ton of explosives in the place where the judge passed."

The assassination of Italian Justice Giovanni Falco in 1992 shocked the world and even triggered a protest strike among millions.

After this incident, the Italian government faced strong pressure from the media and public opinion and began to quickly pass a large number of bills specifically targeting the mafia, and launched a nationwide anti-black movement, which continues to this day.

After Simon finished speaking, he noticed Daniel's expression change and smiled, "Are you scared?"

Daniel pursed his lips and looked at the smile of the young man next to him. He calmed down a little and did not answer this question.

Simon did not force the boy to respond.

The key reason why the mafia makes most people afraid, including many politicians and rich people, is their unscrupulousness.

Moreover, Italy is one of the earliest countries in the world to abolish the death penalty, which makes the mafia even more scruples. In some countries where death penalty, it is natural to kill people. In Italy, killing people will be sentenced to life imprisonment at most, and there are many people who are charged with murder but only sentenced to five or six years.

This creates some hidden and strong imbalance.

The mafia can arbitrarily "sent" its opponents to death and have almost the power to kill and kill. Others cannot do this to them easily. Even if it is the official, they can only arrest those almost well-known mafia bosses when the evidence is conclusive.

Thinking of this, Simon said: "Actually, things tonight are easy to resolve. We just need to compromise with Glory and clarify that we have no intention of acquiring Versace, so this matter will be over."

Daniel's expression moved slightly, noticed that Simon was still looking at him, and quickly said, "In fact, it won't go over, right?"

Simon still had a smile on his face and said, "It's hard to say. We compromise. If Glory will achieve the goal, maybe we won't make things difficult for Melisandra and will not threaten us anymore. However, there is another possibility. When they find that Simon Westeros, who has hundreds of billionaires, will also be afraid of the mafia, and is no different from the billionaires who are hiding in bulletproof cars and are surrounded by a group of bodyguards. It just so happens that the subsidiaries of Gucci, Van Cleef and Arpels, Christie's, owned by Melisandra are very suitable for money laundering. The Westeros system has a large investment in Italy. Danny, do you think, if it were you, would you want to go further and cut a few more pieces of meat from this super fat sheep?"

Daniel's mouth moved, without opening his mouth, but nodded slightly.

Simon said: "So, back to your question just now, what am I going to do with this? Danny, I just told you this, I just wanted you to understand that you should not have fantasies about the mafia and any other type of gangsters. They are the dark side of this world, a group of unscrupulous outlaws, absolutely not a messenger of justice, and they are not worthy of any respect. However, for us, there is no need to have any fear of the mafia. The mafia makes people surrender through violence and killing, but if someone deals with them in the same way, even more violent and bloody, then

The so-called extrajudicials are actually a group of sheep. Mussolini put 94 cannons outside the mafia's lair, and those arrogant gang godfathers could only surrender. Danny, you should know that a super chaebol with assets worth hundreds of billions of dollars has no less power than the Mussolini government in the past. The mafia used violence, and we could, and more violent than them. Not only that, we could also use the power of the government, we also have the power of money, and we even control our own army. So, Danny, are you still afraid now?"

Daniel shook his head quickly this time.

However, there was obviously some other meaning in the boy's eyes when he looked at Simon.

Simon understood what this was, put away the coldness that was involuntarily emitted involuntarily in his words, and said in a gentle tone: "Danny, maybe you resist my relationship with your mother in your heart. But you, and Gemma, have the same status in my heart as Mel and the others. I also regard you as part of the Westeros family. In order to protect you, I will start a war."

Daniel dodged Simon's gaze, then looked over quickly, and said seriously: "Thank you, Simon."

Sophia arrived in New York at less than 6 a.m. the next morning.

The woman appears calm, but after seeing her parents and children, she hugged her for a much longer time.

After breakfast, facing Simon's consultation, Sophia said in a calm tone that such a thing should be brought forward by a man and she could not handle it by a woman.

After spending so many years together, Sophia can't understand Simon's style of conduct.

The most cherished relatives are threatened, and there is never a lack of decisive and capable women in their bones. There is no intention to stop the little man who is touched by the scales from releasing the violence in his bones.

It is not yet known why the address of Fischer's family was leaked, so Sofia took her family to a farm estate in Simon, Ohio on the weekend.

Ohio, located in the inland United States, is different from the coastal areas where dragons and snakes are mixed, and has a good hidden nature. Columbus is also a base where the Wexner family has been running for a long time. It has mixed relationships in all aspects, including Columbus' underground forces, and you can get news if you have any slight disturbances.

The most important point is that the Westeros system's military base in North America is located in Ohio.

If necessary, Simon can mobilize hundreds of fully armed special forces nearby.

The Fessi family moved to Ohio temporarily. After the weekend, Sofia returned to Europe to continue working, but Simondo added several times the security force.

After discussion, Sofia did not intend to give any response to the warning from the Glory Society.

In fact, after the article in the Italian Evening Post was published, Melisandra made a clarification the next day, saying that she had no intention of acquiring Versace. However, this clarification may not have fallen into the ears of some people, and perhaps the other party did not believe it at all, and only thought it was a smoke bomb that was used to be during corporate acquisition negotiations.

On the other hand, Los Angeles is always peaceful, and Dumei Point Manor has not received any messy things.

However, Simon would not show mercy for this.

Sophia's relationship with herself is almost well known. Melisandra is a very important part of the Westeros system. The threat to either side will be regarded as a provocation to the entire Westeros system by Simon.

The new week happens to be the beginning of August.

It seemed that after the slight tide of Greenwich last Friday, a turbulence under the sea began to brew quickly.

The Westeros family's continued expansion of intelligence network has been mobilized again.

Especially in Europe, Sofia was responsible for this matter since a long time. The original European intelligence network has been dormant. On the weekend after the incident, hundreds of people gathered quietly from various European countries to the Calabria region bordering Sicily in southern Italy.

The Calabria region is the birthplace of the Italian Glory Society.

To be precise, Glory Society is not a unified organization, but a mafia alliance formed by multiple families. There are constant internal disputes, and there have even two large-scale internal gang wars in the period.

It can be called a 'war', and the intensity of the dispute can also be seen.

The latest Glory Civil War started in 1985 and lasted for six years until 1991. The fierce gang melee caused more than 600 conservative deaths only recorded by the official record.

The mastermind behind the delivery of threatening packages to the Fessi family this time was soon found out.

The Stefano family, one of the six major families with strong strength in the Glory Society, is also the main participant in the Second Glory Society civil war.

There is a surging undercurrent in private, and many things on the surface are as usual.

Hollywood.

A box office week from the end of July to the beginning of August, the most eye-catching movie is undoubtedly "The Story of Fire".

This crime action film with a good reputation has become the first and may be the only movie to hit the box office this summer season to hit a large-scale movie with a counter-decline decline in the next week.

Compared with the first week, the box office not only did not fall, but rose by 9% the next week due to the continued fermentation of reputation and the continuous spread of the topic of "God Watching Movies".

The 9% counter-down rate may not be large, but the box office revenue of US$25.06 million the next week made "The Story of Fire" directly surpass all other competitors of the same period and won the box office championship position of that week. This may also be the only movie in this summer that did not show the box office in the first week but relied on a strong trend to top the box office championship.

Two weeks after its release, the cumulative box office of "The Story of Fire" reached $47.99 million.

The box office figure of nearly $50 million in two weeks, combined with "The Story of Fire" is an inevitable long-term trend, which means that this criminal action film is almost bound to become another member of the 100 million box office club on the North American box office list.

The runner-up position fell on the phenomenal "Forrest Gump".

In the fifth week of release, "Forrest Gump"'s box office fell by 19%, and it closed at another $24.76 million, with a cumulative box office of $195.49 million, with a 200 million mark near.

MGM's "Alien" was ranked third on the list last week.

Speaking of which, the plot of "Alien" is not outstanding, it is just an imitation and follow-up work of "Alien", and its media reputation is not even up to standard, with only 4.3 points.

However, Natasha Hensquqi, who has few scenes in the film but is amazing, accidentally became the biggest highlight of the film.

For the already very mature American film market, it is not easy to make money by selling meat. Many large-scale erotic films that have achieved success in commercial use are much lower than those of serious commercial films.

Moreover, "Alien" is not a erotic film to be precise.

The success of this movie obviously has a great luck. It can only be said that the role is just right and it has successfully attracted the attention of the audience. After the success of "The Alien", Natasha Hensquqi continued to shoot several movies that dared to take off and reveal themselves, but no more splashes.

In any case, the box office of "Alien" in the seven-day first week reached 24.39 million US dollars, and all the museums that exceeded 10,000 in the first week also reached the level of a big-selling movie.

As a follow-up commercial film with a few reputations, such achievements have met everyone's expectations.

The box office of $24.39 million in the first week means that the total local box office of this science fiction thriller can be at least around $60 million, which is enough to recover most of the production and promotion investment. If you operate it overseas for a little bit, you can enter the profit cycle.

Moreover, because of the nude dramas that make people talk about, the videotape of this movie is even more promising than the release of theaters, and it is the kind that is worth collecting.

The former "Alien" series still released several sequels in succession despite the box office failure of the second part. Later, it simply stopped distributing theaters and went directly to the videotape channel. This is why.

Compared with the production of at least three or four works in this summer, MGM only has two movies, "Life and Death Hour" and "Alien", but both are full of returns.

Because of the strength of "The Story of Fire", "Forrest Gump" and "The Legend of the Eyebrow", starring Harrison Ford, the box office in the second week of release, fell directly from the championship last week to the fourth place on the list. The box office fell by 41% in a single week, and only collected US$23.37 million, with a total box office of 62.42 million in two weeks.

Of course, earning $62.42 million in two weeks, "The Eyebrow Chaser"'s local box office exceeded 100 million, and it will definitely become a member of the 100 million box office club that has nothing to do with Daenerys Entertainment this summer.

The fifth place on the list is Quentin Tarantino's "Blooded Romeo".

Due to the joint publicity effect with "The Story of Fire", the box office of this crime drama film fell only 17% in the third week of its release, and it collected another $15.26 million, with a cumulative box office of $57.62 million.

In addition to fifth place, the "True Lies" partnered by Cameron and Schwarzenegger ranked sixth on the list. In the third week of release, the box office fell by 32%, earning 13.6 million US dollars, officially entering the 100 million yuan box office club department threshold, with a cumulative box office of US$105.24 million US dollars.

Judging from the current trend, "The True Lies" will have a box office space of 30 million to 40 million US dollars in the future.

"Black Horse" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" that were painted last week were all lost.

"The Legend of the City" starring Nicholas Cage and Brigitte Fonda is better, with a box office of $11.95 million in the first week, ranking seventh on the list. "Black Horse" by Warner Bros. Pictures opened on the screen for 1,312 yuan, but the box office of the first week was only $2.27 million, and the museums were only a pitiful $1,733, and it is expected to be directly off the market in two weeks.

On August 5, a new box office week will begin.

Compared with the fiercely competitive June and July, in the upcoming list of films to be released in August, Simon remembers that there is not a big-selling movie, which seems to be unreasonable.

Simon didn't have much impression of the two new films "Rock Story" and "Golden Soldiers" that were launched in North American theaters on August 5.

Although there is also a big budget action film "Night" starring Bruce Willis on August 12, this movie that was miserable in Simon's memory is not as good as Ang Lee's "Diet and Female" during the same period.

Later, on August 26, "Born Murderer" directed by Oliver Stone, written by screenwriter Quentin Tarantino, had only average box office results. This time, with Quentin's "Blooded Romeo" just brought popularity, and Oliver Stone's box office appeal, it might be better.

Immediately, the 1994 summer season will come to an end with the focus of another box office week on September 1.
