Manhattan, 66th Street, Upper West Side, has become the former headquarters of the Metropolitan ABC Group, the Daenerys Entertainment Television Business Center.

It is Friday, January 26th.

In a conference room in the building, a conference meeting about the "American Idol" that will be re-opened on February 6, and others left one after another. Simon continued to sit at the wide conference table and whispered some details with Robert Eiger beside him. After a moment, he stood up and walked over with the head of Sister Xue who had not gone out with a smile: "Simon, are you free at noon? I have settled a seat in St. George?"

Just half a season of "American Idol" has brought Xueer, who has a somewhat sluggish career in the past few years, back to her peak.

This actress who has been in Hollywood for many years naturally knows why she can do this. She invited Simon at this time because she really wanted to thank her. Of course, if this little man had some other interest in her, Xueer would not refuse too much.

This little man who made countless women envious of her will not suffer any loss if something happens between the two.

Simon looked at the old diva in casual clothes, who was still charming and charming, and smiled and said, "I'm not very convenient to go to St. George, and I'm worried about being watched. If you don't mind dining in the internal restaurant here, I'll be free."

Xueer immediately said, "Oh, of course not."

He said and looked at Egg.

Before Xueer could speak, Robert Eiger immediately said: "I made an appointment with my family to have lunch together."

At first, I worked at ABC. In order to facilitate get off work, Iger's family was in the Upper West End, not far from here. After changing jobs at Daenerys Entertainment, Iger's position in the circle has become higher and higher and more income has become more and more abundant. He still has not moved out of Upper West End, but has changed to a better villa after Daenerys Entertainment went public.

Since others want to have a meal with their family, of course they can't stop them.

Family is always the most important thing.

Everyone was talking and laughing together and was about to go out when they happened to see another judge of "American Idol" who had just left, Jennifer Lopez, who turned back and almost hit Simon. The girl stopped and apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Westeros, I forgot my bag here."

Speaking and pointing to the conference room.

Robert Eiger looked at the situation in front of him, just smiled and nodded, leaving first, looking very hurried.

However, Simon was about to turn sideways and let Jennifer Lopez into the conference room, Xueer had already said, "Jenny, is it that red Chanel? I just saw you forgot to come here and asked my assistant to send it to you. It seems you didn't meet it. Go to the parking lot to see, she should be there."

Jennifer Lopez was stunned for a moment, and soon reacted, and turned slowly with obvious reluctance, and said, "Thank you, Ms. Xueer."

Simon watched the Latin girl disappear from the elevator and gave Xueer a thumbs up: "Awesome."

When the man saw through it, Xueer didn't hide it, and she deliberately threw out a very snatching expression: "Little Chicken," she said, looking at Simon beside her: "This shouldn't be your dish. Simon, why choose her?"

Simon said: "For the sake of the show's effect, it's undeniable that she did a good job, didn't she?"

In any case, successful people have certain success traits that others cannot achieve. The former Jennifer Lopez's fame trajectory and popularity time were strange, just like a carpet star on the other side of the ocean. Although there is no impressive representative work, it can often be ranked at the top of the Hollywood actress income rankings with tens of millions of dollars.

This is ability.

It's not okay to admire it.

Simon chose the other party because of this. Although he was only a supporting role among the four judges, Jennifer Lopez's popularity has no less than that of the two core members, Cher and David Kruger, and what he lacks now is just background.

When Xueer heard Simon say this, she had to nod: "It's really good, but in fact, you are the most powerful one, and you have to choose the candidates so accurately."

Simon felt the charming eyes of Sister Xueer's head that naturally glanced at, and smiled and said, "Don't praise me, I'm going to float up."

"hehe."

The two of them laughed and came to the high-rise restaurant in the building. Daenerys only opened it after completing the merger and acquisition of the Metropolitan ABC Group. The company, which was previously controlled by two stingy old men, was reluctant to do this. For ordinary employees' office space, Simon tends to open space, which makes it easier for communication between executives and employees.

However, Simon never advocates fairness in the details of the restaurant involving workplace treatment.

The level you are in the Westeros system can enjoy the treatment, medical care, catering, accommodation, travel, etc., all of which are the same.

This is actually a kind of distribution according to work.

Ordinary employees can eat the canteen with peace of mind. Executives can take the company's private jets on business trips, so as to stimulate employees to strive for the best. If someone feels unfair, either work hard to climb up or leave, and choose other companies that they think are fair.

Sister Xueer, who has always pursued exquisiteness in life, was hesitant about eating with Simon in the interior canteen. After seeing the decoration of the executive restaurant and the menus delivered by the waiter, she immediately lost her doubts.

There are actually French, Italian and Chinese cuisines here. Even if there are not many dishes available for each, Xueer is even more surprised because this is a rule that only top restaurants have. Different dishes at different times and at different times, the quantity is not large, mainly to ensure the absolute freshness of the ingredients.

In the past, even when I started working outside, I would have a dedicated person to be responsible for my diet. Over the years since I became famous, Xueer has rarely experienced such things as eating in some internal restaurants of the company.

After ordering the meal, Xueer couldn't help but say, "It seems that I can come here to eat often in the future."

Simon said politely: "This is our honor."

There was no additional explanation. If Xueer came here herself, she might get another menu.

According to Xueer's specifications, you can enjoy the treatment of Daenerys Entertainment's vice president here. Perhaps the dishes will not be much different from this time, but the choice of wine is definitely different.

The bottle of Latu winery that Xueer ordered was collected in 1975. Only Simon personally served VIP guests here or Eiger, and he had to send someone else to pick it up. Fortunately, the storage location was in the Upper East Side, which took more than ten minutes, and it was completely time to wait.

Simon did not explain, but Xueer actually felt it a little, and did not talk about it much. She raised her legs and slightly turned sideways and said in a more charming position: "I read the newspaper this morning. The box office of the Batman vs. Superman in the latest week has reached 470 million US dollars, which is really shocking. However, people are under great pressure to attend some gatherings in the circle recently."

In the past box office week, "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" in the fifth week of the release, continued to earn $38.01 million with a weekly box office decline of 31%, with a cumulative box office of $472.61 million, surpassing Simon's $436 million local box office record set by "Batman: The Moment of War" and successfully broke the local box office record in North American film history regardless of inflation.

Not only that, as the scope of overseas market opening expansion, the overseas box office of "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" also began to explode. Last week's statistics exceeded the 400 million threshold, reaching US$429 million, almost the same as the local $434 million of the film last week. Over the next two days of overseas box office statistics, it is almost certain that it can surpass the local $472 million box office.

Because of the strength of the Super Tyrant War, it is now not only that overseas film circles have once again shouted to beware of Hollywood invasion, but even a large number of local filmmakers in North America have a sense of crisis.

If this continues, will everyone still have a way out?

When Simon heard Xueer say this, he shook his head slightly and said, "The Super Battalion War is just an exception, and there is no need for everyone to worry."

"But, why do I feel that in recent years, the DC movie universe series, the "Jurassic Park" series, and Pixar's 3D animation..." Xueer raised her index finger and gestured in the air, saying, "Anyway, I don't have the courage to break into Hollywood again."

This is also the truth about Sister Xueer.

After winning the Oscar for Best Actress with "Moonlight Smile", Xueer seemed to have won the Oscar curse. She has never participated in a big-selling work since then, and almost fell into a slump. Fortunately, "American Idol" provided her with a turning point. Now this reality show is so successful, it has also led Xueer's music career to resume a second spring. She has already planned to concentrate on this matter and no longer compete with Hollywood actresses who are old-fashioned or new-looking.

Simon can actually understand the mentality of many filmmakers in Hollywood. At this time, he just said: "This is just a psychological effect. The mainstream of Hollywood is still a regular film created by everyone. For example, the local box office of $400 million is not considered re-released. I think about it. "The Moment of War", 436 million, "The Rise of the Dark Knight", 416 million, "Jurassic Park 2", 413 million, and the Super War that is still being released, you see, there are only 4 movies in total, and Hollywood produces more than 400 theater movies every year."

Xueer thought for a while and asked, "Where is the Lion King, I remember it has exceeded 900 million US dollars in the world?"

Simon replied: "The Lion King is only US$327 million in the local area, and the big head is overseas."

Xueer didn't expect Simon to remember so clearly that she blurted out and couldn't help asking: "What about "Superman"?"

"The local area of ​​Superman is $363 million."

"Wonder Woman?"

“371 million.”

"Jurassic Park, the first part."

“356 million.”

Sister Xueer's head and eyes were lit up, and her tone was filled with admiration: "No wonder you can achieve everything you have now, and you can clearly remember so many box office numbers. It's so amazing."

Simon smiled and said, "I won't tell you that I've actually just seen these data this morning."

"Haha, it's still amazing. I can't remember so many things anyway." Xueer said, turning back to the topic just now: "So many local movies with a box office of 300 million US dollars are difficult to reach. It is estimated that only George can compare with these movies after restarting the "Star Wars" series."

Simon said: "Everyone will find their own position anyway. In fact, what I just said is more inclined toward products. I still prefer real movies. Just like the movie "The Moonlight Smile" that gave you an Oscar back then, I have watched it many times."

Xueer was a little surprised: "Simon, isn't this a compliment? I remember many people don't like this movie, and they even said that I was a bit far-fetched to win the Oscars."

"Of course it's not a compliment," Simon said: "This is a movie that can touch the soul very much. Of course, it's not the so-called spiritual impact of deliberately sensational movies, but the whole movie is giving off a restless atmosphere. After watching it, it will make people feel the urge to immediately find someone to have a relationship and make it worth the sacrificing life."

"Oh, Simon, you're really good at talking."

At some point, Sister Xue'er's head and body had leaned forward slightly, and her arms were placed on the dining table.

The two of them chatted like this, and the waiter then delivered lunch and had a meal and had a fun.

After lunch, Sister Xueer's fingers touched the dining table and hooked on the back of Simon's hand. Such a young and handsome little man with various halos can attract a group of women to stick on even if he doesn't speak. What's more, the lunch just passed by, the knowledge and humor of the dialect between the dialects was really irresistible.

Sister Xueer thought, if you don’t take the initiative, if you miss it, it would be a loss: "Simon, are you still free in the evening? Maybe we can have dinner together again. It was very happy just now, right?"

Simon just shook his head: "I'm sorry, I've made arrangements for the evening."

Xueer asked, "So, what about the weekend?"

"Weekends are not good either," Simon said, retracting his right hand that was teased by Xueer, and said with a smile: "Since this lunch is very pleasant, it's better to keep it in memory. Some things are too much."

When the man said this, Xueer felt regretful, but she no longer entangled: "It's such a pity. But when will you have time, you can call me at any time."

As the two said, Xueer's assistant brought the woman's windbreaker over. Simon stood up on his own initiative and took Xueer to put it on very gentlemanly, leaving the restaurant together, and returned until Xueer entered the elevator.

The afternoon work schedule is still here.

So busy until the evening, Simon took a helicopter to the manor in the northern suburbs of Greenwich.

The rejection of Xueer at noon was because Simon was abstinent recently, and on the other hand, Sofia Fessi came from Europe today.

When dusk fell, she returned to the northern suburb manor. The woman was already preparing dinner. Daniel and Gemma, who had already started school, were also here. After getting along for a long time, and because of the birth of the other two little guys, she almost felt like Simon was another home here.

Except for Daniel and Simon who are always a little embarrassed when they get along, nothing else is. Gemma, who has a simple and straightforward personality, occasionally calls Simon "Stepdad". The very formal "stepfather" tone, deliberately with a little injustice, is actually a kind of recognition in the girl's heart.

Dinner is equally cozy.

Sofia talks about work, and her two children discuss study and life. Simon will also talk about the recent trivialities. Sofia's parents who eat together also try their best to cooperate with this atmosphere. Over the years, the couple has also recognized Simon and her daughter's status. Especially Simon's status is getting higher and higher, and the Fessi's family is living better and better, and the couple has no other thoughts.

After dinner, Sofia's parents and two children were very sensible and took the initiative to return to their residence next door, leaving the space for Simon and Sofia.

However, Simon and the other two did not immediately dry up the fire, but instead talked about some very formal things.

Inspired by recent events, Simon is planning two plans and has given two code names, one is ‘Troy’ and the other is ‘Sowell’.
