076 Give me a reason
Sandra Bullock took off her little black dress and put on the plaid shirt and jeans again. She looked in the mirror and found to her distress that she looked more pleasing to the eye in this outfit.
However, if you just go to the celebration party of "Run Lola Run", you will inevitably be hyped up by the media as a tomboy, and you may even be suspected of your sexual orientation.
When I suddenly became famous, I suddenly discovered that the media are so full of imagination. Every move, word and deed of me can be interpreted into all kinds of messy things.
However, thinking about that guy, what happened to him was already very good.
Thinking of this, I ran out of the bedroom, took out a large pile of recent newspapers from the grid under the coffee table in the living room, and read through it with interest.
"Simon Westeros left the cast of "Night of the Dead" early, and producer Edward Feldman thanked him for his contribution to the show."
"Simon Westeros moved into the Malibu mansion of his mysterious girlfriend and began living together sweetly."
"The identity of Janet Johnston is revealed. She is the daughter of a mining tycoon and her family wealth exceeds US$2 billion."
"Simon Westeros has reached a new film cooperation with Fox Pictures, with a guaranteed box office of US$20 million."
"It is rumored that the internal test screening of "The Butterfly Effect" did not go well, and Simon Westeros remained silent in response to media inquiries."
""The Butterfly Effect" is scheduled for Easter, and Simon Westeros will attend the press conference."
"Simon Westeros meets with Hollywood's famous female publicist Pat Kingsley."
"A smart investment from Columbia Girl, Janet Johnston owns 61.5% of "Run Lola Run" and is expected to earn more than $30 million in profits."
"Simon Westero is looking at a house in Palisades and plans to move out of his girlfriend's mansion. The relationship between the two may change."
"..."
"..."
Sandra was browsing with interest when the door opened and an ordinary-looking brown-haired girl walked in holding a shoe box. Seeing that Sandra was still wearing her original shirt and trousers, she stared.
Said: "Sandy, why haven't you changed your clothes yet? It's already past six o'clock, and the party starts at seven o'clock."
Reluctantly putting down the newspaper, Sandra stood up and spread her hands towards the assistant named Gina Kolos, whom Jonathan had recently hired for her, and said: "Gina, I still think I look better in this outfit."
"And then get laughed at by a bunch of media tomorrow?"
After Gina Kross complained like this, she took Sandra and pushed her into the bedroom again, then handed over the shoe box in her hand and said: "Quickly change, I have already called the car for you, we will set off in ten minutes.
I'll help you touch up your makeup in the car."
After being so busy for a while, I finally put on the black low-cut dress, stepped on black high heels, and hurriedly left the apartment in West Hollywood and rushed to the Century City Intercontinental Hotel in Century City, Beverly Hills.
Today is March 7th, Saturday.
In the previous week from February 27 to March 5, "Run Lola Run" earned a total box office of US$15.56 million from 536 screens, easily winning the top spot in the North American box office rankings last week.
Now that it has won the single-week box office championship, Orion Pictures yesterday launched "Run Lola Run" across the east and west coasts of North America, increasing the number of screening screens to 1,176 at once. It is said that the film will be screened in the East for the first time on a large scale.
The response from coastal states and counties was also very strong.
So, at that guy's suggestion, Orion Pictures chose to hold a celebration party for "Lola Run" this weekend.
When they arrived outside the InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Sandra and Gina were a little dumbfounded as they sat in a specially rented courtesy car.
Although there was no red carpet, the hotel was still crowded with reporters outside the hotel. The two women were not sure whether they should get out of the car like this. The reporters also obviously noticed the hesitant concierge car.
, gathered around him one after another and started taking pictures directly facing the closed car door.
Fortunately, after a stalemate for a while, several security guards from the hotel came over and escorted Sandra and her assistant into the hotel.
Until she stood in front of the media photo wall in the hotel lobby, Sandra was still a little frightened, but she had to patiently show a decent smile.
After signing autographs and taking photos, we arrived at the banquet hall of the hotel.
She arrived a little late, and the banquet hall was already crowded with people.
However, I still saw a certain guy at a glance.
Simon was taking Janet and chatting with Mike Medowa about something. He noticed Sandra's arrival, nodded to Mike Medowa, and walked over.
Coming closer, Simon gently hugged Sandra and said with a smile: "Sandy, you are so beautiful today."
"Thank you, Simon," she responded with some embarrassment. Sandra quickly turned around and hugged Janet as well. By the way, she glanced at the girl's burgundy evening dress, which looked very expensive at first glance, and said, "Jenny today
It’s also very beautiful.”
Although she said it so casually, Sandra couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, and she felt a bit like an ugly duckling.
She suddenly became famous, and her attention seemed to be much higher. She has been getting a lot of film offers these days. But in fact, her life is very tight, and the evening dress she is wearing is actually rented. If her parents hadn't borrowed it temporarily
After giving her $20,000 as an emergency, there is no way she can afford to hire an assistant now.
Alas, the damn guy made so much money, but only gave her a salary of 5,000 US dollars.
miser!
I was thinking about it in my heart, but found that I couldn't express it no matter what, so I just joked with him stupidly.
How silly.
After chatting for a while, Simon noticed a capable woman in her thirties wearing a dark blue evening dress at the door of the banquet hall. He said something to Sandra and was about to leave. After thinking about it, he whispered to her:
"Sandy, if "Run Lola Run" makes money after a while, I will give everyone a bonus. However, if you are short of money recently, you can also contact me in advance."
I was suddenly in a daze and felt guilty.
sky.
He must have read his thoughts.
It's so embarrassing.
He quickly shook his head: "No, Simon, I, ha, I don't have as much money to spend as you do."
Simon just smiled, raised his hand and patted Sandra on the shoulder, and said: "Then you take your time and play, I have something else to do."
Watching him leave with his girlfriend, she felt a little itchy on her bare shoulders.
Look left and right.
No one seems to notice here.
I suddenly felt a little aggrieved and wanted to find someone to talk to.
Mom, he touched me.
Simon left Sandra and came to the woman just now. Looking at the woman who had been tit-for-tat with him for three days, he smiled and stretched out his hand and said: "Good evening, Amy, are you coming alone?"
The woman's name is Amy, Amy Pascal, who is currently the vice president of Fox Pictures. To be more precise, she should be the vice president of production, the same as Peter Sanders before her.
Simon specifically inquired and found out that Fox Pictures was helmed by Ronald Goldberg, followed by a series of vice presidents. Among them, those closely related to the film included three vice presidents of production, two vice presidents of marketing, and others
Vice President, Vice President of Venue, etc., to name a few.
Perhaps knowing that Peter Sanders was not useful enough, Ronald Goldberg sent Amy Pascal to discuss the specific contract with Simon for this time.
A production budget of US$8 million, a guaranteed North American box office of US$20 million, absolute control of the project, a 10% share of the North American box office and a 5% share of video sales. These conditions are all set.
However, there are still a lot of details to be discussed between the two parties in terms of the film's future schedule, release scale, marketing investment, etc.
In the three days starting from Wednesday, Simon was deeply impressed by Amy Pascal's shrewdness and strength compared to Peter Sanders. Moreover, Simon was very optimistic about the future of the female executive in front of him.
We also have some understanding of some of its development trajectories. In the original time and space, Amy Pascal was one of the few female heads of major film companies in Hollywood, and she controlled Sony Pictures for more than ten years.
Simon is currently looking for a professional manager for Daenerys Pictures, and the woman in front of him, who is capable enough, is a perfect fit.
Amy Pascal had always been a little confused about receiving Simon's invitation to tonight's party, but she still rushed over. She shook hands with Simon and Janet respectively. After hearing Simon's question, she replied: "My boyfriend
I'm on a business trip to New York, so I can only come here alone."
Simon nodded and said, "Then let's go in and talk."
The three of them walked into the banquet hall together, greeted everyone, and chatted casually.
After a while, Amy Pascal took the glass of champagne handed over by Simon. Seeing that his girlfriend walked away without leaving a trace, she said: "So, Simon, can you tell me why you invited me here?"
Party? I guess the past few days of contact we just had were not a good experience for you."
"That's your job. If you can't argue for your employer, maybe there won't be this invitation from me."
Amy Pascal raised her eyebrows slightly, but said with some regret: "Unfortunately, I did not obtain many favorable conditions for my employer."
Simon shook his head: "This is not something you can change. Within your authority, you have done a good enough job."
Listening to Simon's words, Amy Pascal vaguely anticipated something, but felt unbelievable, so she looked directly at the young man in front of her, waiting for him to continue.
Simon stopped beating around the bush and said directly: "Amy, that's it, how about coming to work for me?"
Chapter completed!
