Chapter 817 The Three Richards Sisters (Repair)
The dinner lasted less than an hour and found that Simon appeared in this restaurant. Even though he understood that it was very rude to come over to disturb others during meals, people kept coming forward to greet him. Some guests even came here specifically after hearing the news, just to meet Simon Westeros.
Unbearable to the trouble, the two had to check out in advance.
In fact, there are still many questions to be discussed. Robert Eiger suggested that he could go to a private club in the Upper West Side to continue the topic just now. He had a member there, and Simon nodded in agreement.
Just as I walked towards the entrance of the restaurant, I happened to meet three other women wearing evening outfits, graceful or gorgeous temperament.
One of them Simon knew.
This is Cathy Hilton, the wife of Richard Hilton, a child of the Hilton family, and Paris Hilton's mother.
The other two, to be precise, are actually quite familiar with each other.
Apparently Cathy Hilton's sister.
Because the appearance of the three sisters has many similarities, and in history, these two sisters of Cathy Hilton, Kim Richards and Kyle Richards, both of them were on the "Beverly Wife" reality show series as Aunt Paris Hilton.
This time, Daenerys Entertainment's reality show, "Beverly Wife", did not have the Richards sisters in "Beverly Wife", but Cathy Hilton. This spring time began to join "New York Wife" in the second half of the fourth season as a guest star. With the surname "Hilton", it attracted a lot of popularity. The two sides have now finalized a long-term contract for the next two seasons.
Maybe I happened to be having a meal at a restaurant, but the chance encounter when I left was obviously a bit deliberate.
Everyone greeted each other and walked towards the elevator. While waiting, Cathy Hilton solemnly introduced his two sisters who had already shined with their eyes. He also specially added the surname "Richards" in his words. This hint is somewhat obvious. In this era, there are not many Western women who do not change their husband's surname after getting married, just like Cathy Hilton, who should have been Cathy Richards.
Entering the elevator, Kyle Richards, the youngest of the three sisters, offered to suggest that there was a good bar in the building, maybe you could go and sit there.
Simon and Iger still have something to talk about, and they don’t want to appear in public again and be watched by others. Just as they were about to refuse, Iger, who had been watching his boss talk and laughing with three women seriously, finally interrupted, talking about the club they were going to, and said that the three ladies could go there together if they were interested.
Cathy Hilton hesitated, but her two sisters agreed immediately and persuaded her sister to be together. Kyle Richards also intentionally or unintentionally said that Richard Hilton was not in New York on a business trip, and it would be okay to go back later. Cathy Hilton was encouraged by her two sisters and half-suppressed and agreed on the spot.
Everyone came to the underground parking lot. As usual, Simon had two black Mercedes-Benz. The three sisters also drove the car and said they would follow them.
Leaving the Rockefeller Center, under the guidance of Eiger, more than ten minutes later, three cars arrived at West 70th Street in the Upper West Side and entered a more than a few-year-old building underground parking lot near the Hudson River.
Iger roughly introduced it in the car. This is a club that is only for senior management of the media industry. For example, Warner's Terry Semer, Viacom's Summer Redstone and others are all members. They also said that if Simon is interested, they can directly get a member later. As Simon's identity, there is definitely no need for those anti-locked recommendation review processes.
All kinds of top clubs have tried to send invitations to Simon over the years, but they are not interested in it.
This time it's the same.
Simon just heard Eiger introduce the nature of the club and said, "It would be even less quiet." Eiger said it was okay and called in advance to arrange it."
Arriving at the destination, it was indeed arranged in advance.
Simon and the three Richards sisters took the exclusive elevator from the underground parking lot to the club floor. The young waitress in charge of the reception found that Eiger appeared with Simon Westeros, with a clear surprise in her expression. However, she still took the group to a suite overlooking the Hudson River with a professional look. At first glance, it looked similar to an apartment, but the area was very spacious, with a living room of about 150 square meters. The furniture was decorated in detail and it looked obviously for parties of more than 10 people. There was also a pool table and a small bar around. There was a striking and wide gambling table by the window with excellent views.
After giving some advice, I sent the waiter away, and the five of them were immediately left in the room.
The three Richards sisters thought it would be a very lively club, but they didn't expect it to be like this, and their expressions were a little weird. Fortunately, Kyle Richards quickly relaxed and took the initiative to go to the bar, saying that he could mix bartenders for everyone, and asked Simon what to drink. After such interruptions, the atmosphere became lively again.
He ordered a cocktail casually, and Simon knew that he could not talk about the serious matters. He wanted a quiet place, but he didn't expect that it would be such a scene. He was also a little amused and whispered in his heart. I didn't expect that you would have such a side in private with a decent look on your face.
However, subordinates should not blame him for his boss's words and expressions and take the initiative to match him.
After getting the drinks, everyone just sat down at the gambling table and played blackjack. The bet was the wine in the cup and talked about various topics at the same time. Although there were not many people, the atmosphere was pretty good. Then, after only half an hour, Eiger took the initiative to say that he had some other things and left early.
Kyle Richards was already unknowingly beside Simon, and one arm was tentatively placed on the man's shoulder.
The three Richards sisters, Cathy Hilton, the oldest, is 36 years old this year, and the youngest, Kyle Richards is only 26 years old this year, which is younger than Simon. They are both child stars, and their appearance can be imagined. Moreover, Western women's tanning beauty is not too popular in this era. In addition, young, the skin of the three women is all fair-like types that Simon likes very much.
When Eiger left, Kyle Richards became more relaxed, and he took the initiative to tease Simon whether he dared to play with him in his words, such as a cup of vodka at a time.
Simon honestly expressed his fear of not daring and was gently hit on the shoulder.
The four continued to bet on cards and drink, and chat, and found that no matter what topic they mentioned, the men around them could keep up. Kyle Richards also felt like he had found a confidant. However, in the end, the woman still showed her strength and tried to test whether Simon could give her some performance opportunities.
Simon's perfunctory skills are not bad at all. Moreover, even if he found that the three sisters had a huge amount, his alcohol content was actually not bad, and his wine taste was even better. He never made any promises after drinking, and he skillfully thought that he was snake.
However, in such a public place where he could not fully control himself, Simon always lacked some sense of security. After staying for less than half an hour, he took the initiative to leave.
Everyone came to the underground parking lot. Kyle Richards had already held Simon's arm. Obviously, as long as the man was willing tonight, nothing was a problem. After drinking, he would definitely not be able to drive. Simon said he could give them a car and took them back. Kyle Richards boldly asked if he could go to Simon's place to check out.
Usually, Simon is reluctant to happen to a woman he meets for the first time.
Maybe because of drinking today, I agreed directly.
When Cathy Hilton saw his younger sister getting on Simon Westeros, he had a great harvest tonight. He planned to retire, but just got on one of the two Mercedes-Benz cars, he found that the man had also squeezed into the back seat with his younger sister and pulled the second sister in.
The rear seat of this bulletproof Mercedes-Benz custom-business sedan customized by the Westeros family is quite spacious, but it is not easy to squeeze out four people. Kyle Richards simply sat on Simon's legs.
Then.
A gun fire.
The two girls next to them were not spared.
In the apartment on Fifth Avenue, a ridiculous night, the three sisters woke up again and found that they were in the same big bed and the man was no longer there. However, recalling the whole story of last night, Cathy Hilton was suddenly a little panicked and angry, and pinched the little sister next to him.
Oh my God.
If the incident happened last night, her marriage to Richard Hilton would be over.
It is very clear that neither of the two sisters is a good deal.
Just like Kim, although she is only 31 years old this year, she started her first marriage at the age of 18. She has divorced twice and is trying to find her third big kid.
And Kyle, basically the same.
Unexpectedly, they would drag themselves in together.
Anyway, Cathy Hilton insisted that it was two uneasy sisters who dragged themselves into this mess.
Although... but what if your marriage is done?
Just as the three sisters were quarreling, they almost started fighting, and the bedroom door was pushed open. The butler Angry Davis entered the door with a tray, and this time they stopped. In front of outsiders, the three sisters who were raised by their parents as socialites since childhood were still quite decent.
Simon left his Fifth Avenue apartment early in the morning.
It wasn't that they were hiding from the Richards sisters, but to have breakfast with Eiger, and by the way, they continued the issues that were not discussed last night. In fact, as one of the core executives of Daenerys Entertainment, the two sides communicated very frequently through phone and email, but it was better to talk about many things in person in this relaxed dining environment.
During the meal, Eiger did not mention what happened last night at all, and restored the decent image of a gentle and professional manager.
After breakfast, the two rushed to the East Coast headquarters of Daenerys Entertainment in Greenwich.
Each has its own arrangements.
Simon's morning schedule is to listen to the TV department production team introduce a series of new projects that will be launched this year.
Two of them were made by Simon himself.
A brand new reality show plan.
Simon personally proposed the idea, and the production department was responsible for improving it, which was the "American Idol" in my memory.
This singer talent show, which appeared around 2000, was once popular all over the world, and various variants appeared around the world. This time, Simon plans to be the main autumn theme after the finalization of the TV network acquisition in the second half of the year. Not only that, this show can also be linked with Igrit and Tinkobaier.
As long as it succeeds, ABC TV will immediately add an ace to the ratings. Daenerys Records can gain a group of popular singers. Igrit and Tinkobaier can also add a large number of music resources, killing multiple goals in one fell swoop.
Another project is also famous, "Sex and the City".
This is an urban emotional column published by New York female writer Candace Bushnell last year. It mainly creates the writer's experience of mingling in New York. Simon discovered this project from the copyright transaction list provided by the East Coast some time ago, and it was directly taken down by people.
Relying on the beautiful wife series and the popular "Desperate Housewives" series, USA, a female TV station focused on creating Daenerys Entertainment, has developed very well in recent years. Now it is the time to inject fresh blood.
In addition to these two retention programs, Daenerys TV has signed contracts with four major TV networks this year or left to its own TV stations USA and Fashion-TV. I have read the information about these projects in advance. Simon spent three days to discuss and consult with the production team of the TV department and the specific person in charge of the various issues.
In the midst of busyness, another week passed in a blink of an eye.
The first week of the North American summer season ends.
From May 12 to May 18, in seven days, the two major new films that were launched last week, Disney's "Red Tide Storm" earned US$25.54 million in the first week. Compared with the opening scale of 2,382 screens, the museum has exceeded 10,000 per week, reaching the sales level.
In comparison, "The Edge Diary" produced by New World Pictures has become a box office dud.
The two Hollywood actors who are already well-known, Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Wahlberg, did not reverse the audience's lack of interest in the movie. In the first week of the painting, the film earned only $2.87 million on 516 screens, and the museums were only more than $5,000. It is estimated that the total box office in North America is only about $5 million.
The cost of $7 million plus the promotion of $3 million, the local box office is $5 million. Even if it is considered as income from other channels, New World Pictures will have to bear about half of the losses.
Simon has watched every movie produced by Daenerys Entertainment in advance, and this one is no exception.
The original impression was not good.
However, there was no objection to the New World Film team's plan to sprint for the summer season to copy "The Psychedelic Cowherd".
Now the project has failed, it is expected.
Simon just asked the responsible team to carefully analyze and summarize the experience and avoid repeating the same mistakes.
If the two new films on May 12 are considered pre-heating for the summer season, among the series of movies released on May 19, the three major commercial films are all heavyweight, namely Fox Film's classic action sequel "Die Hard 3", "The Ghost Elf" produced by Paramount Pictures, and the romantic romance film directed and staged by Billy Cristo, produced by Sony Pictures.
Compared with his wife Demi Moore, the film's successive production ended in failure, Bruce Willis's status has dropped significantly in recent years. In order to restore popularity, he took the initiative to reduce his conditions to collaborate with Fox on the latest sequel to the "Die Hard" series. The production cost of the film is as high as 90 million US dollars, and the number of screens on the opening is 2,525 yuan.
The former Bruce Willis is the type of Hollywood star who is very lucky, and he is not up or down. He may have been silent after the "Die Hard" trilogy. Unexpectedly, he attracted re-attraction with Quentin's role in "Pulp Novels". Later, "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural" exploded, which was beyond everyone's expectations. Because he was very unpopular, before "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural" was released, Disney even packaged the project to a single production company. In the end, "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural" global box office exceeded 600 million US dollars. Disney actually only earned one distribution fee and reduced his own salary to participate in the role of Bruce Willis, who won both fame and fortune. In addition, projects such as "The Peerless Heavenly Tribulation" and "Sin City" can always ensure that Bruce Willis' status and box office appeal are maintained at critical moments.
However, this time, both "Pulp Novel" and "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural" have been released in advance by Simon and handed over to others. I just don't know if Lao Bu will have the luck to continue to select other dark horse projects after "Die Hard 3".
The subsequent "The Elf" is even more interesting.
In history, "The Elf" should have been a project jointly conducted by Amberlin Film and Global under Spielberg's name, and it was a very successful big-selling project.
After Spielberg and the other three founded DreamWorks in advance, they still owe a film contract left over from the Global Times because of the conflicts in the cooperation of "Jurassic Park", but because of the high degree of freedom of the agreement at that time, the two sides still parted ways. "The Elf" also became the first bombshell produced by DreamWorks and released by its partner Paramount Pictures, with a production cost of US$50 million.
That's more than that.
According to the news circulating in the circle, Spielberg actually wants the mid-June schedule, which is the most prime time of summer, and can avoid the crushing of "Jurassic Park 2" in early June.
However, the godson is not as good as the biological son after all.
Paramount left the June 16th schedule two weeks later for his own film "Brave Heart". That's right, it was the blockbuster that started the Hollywood epic trend again. As a result, "The Elf" had to be released on May 19, two weeks ago in "Jurassic Park 2".
Although the difference is two weeks, the meaning is very different.
After being released two weeks later, the fiercest momentum of this super bombshell has passed. As long as the quality of the new film is excellent enough, the film will have considerable box office space.
In comparison, two weeks before "Jurassic Park 2", even if the start was very good, two weeks later, if you encounter the almost monopoly "Jurassic Park 2", the popularity of all old films will drop sharply, and the box office will inevitably be severely impacted. This halved box office popularity double drop is difficult to recover, and it is destined to affect the film's local box office performance.
Another point is that as a family-friendly movie, the genre of "The Elf" tends to take a long-term trend, rather than a super popcorn movie like "Die Hard 3" that has been enough to perform for two weeks, so I am even more afraid of encountering super stumbling blocks like "Jurassic Park 2" during the release.
Obviously, just this first project, there was a crack between DreamWorks and Paramount.
This is almost inevitable.
Finally, the romantic love film "Love-Forgetful Paris" directed and starred by Billy Cristo. The plot style revealed during the promotion and distribution process was quite like "When Harry Meets Sally", and the production cost was $25 million. However, Sony only gave the film 1,069 yuan to open the screen, which shows that he had no confidence in the film. The media reputation of "Love-Forgetful Paris" on the day of the painting was not reached. If you want to copy the success of "When Harry Meets Sally", unless a miracle happens.
Chapter completed!
