Although she was carefully dressed up, Simon could still easily spot Meg Ryan's obvious eye bags and deep nasolabial folds. Her skin did not have the luster that a 26-year-old woman should have, and she even looked like an overworked woman in her thirties.

housewife.

Having been in a similar circle for two lifetimes, Simon naturally knows what Meg Ryan's current state means.

C+ agent Josh Lieberman, who was sitting next to Meg Ryan, noticed Simon's expression and quickly interrupted the silence in front of him, saying: "Mr. Westeros, Meg and I are both serious.

After studying the script of "When Harry Met Sally", Meg is very happy to play the role of Sally. However, as far as we know, the investor for this film has not yet been determined. What does Daenerys Films plan to do?

"

"The film will start shooting in September at the latest," Simon withdrew his gaze from Meg Ryan and looked at Josh Lieberman. "If we can't find a collaborator, Daenerys Pictures will personally

Invest in this project.”

Hollywood filmmakers have a very common rule: never invest your own money in a movie.

When Josh Lieberman heard Simon's answer, he couldn't help but label Simon as a "silly youngster" in his heart, but on the surface he nodded and said: "In that case, we have no problem."

"So, now let's talk about my problem," Simon turned to Meg Ryan again and said bluntly: "Miss Ryan, are you addicted to drugs?"

Just after being looked at by Simon, Meg Ryan felt a little uneasy.

She originally thought it would be a very relaxed meeting, but this young man, who was said to be less than 20 years old, unknowingly put more pressure on her than even those studio executives.

Hearing this, Meg Ryan immediately shook her head: "Of course not."

"In that case, take a drug test," Simon said calmly: "As long as you can pass it, there is no need to audition again, this role is yours."

Meg Ryan suddenly glanced at the agent next to her with a guilty conscience.

Josh Lieberman coughed awkwardly and took the initiative to defend his client: "Mr. Westeros, I can guarantee that this issue will never affect the filming of the movie."

Simon shook his head and said: "Sorry, Mr. Lieberman, your guarantee is not worth US$15 million."

After last year's "Top Gun", although she only played an inconspicuous small role in it, it is not that difficult for Meg Ryan to get another film contract. However, most of these are just supporting roles.

She is still far away from being a heroine in a major production with a budget of $15 million. Therefore, both Josh Lieberman and Meg Ryan attach great importance to this opportunity.

At this time, Josh Lieberman felt Simon's strength, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said: "How about, Mr. Westeros, you can talk to Meg alone."

After saying that, without waiting for Simon to answer, Josh Lieberman stood up neatly, glanced at Meg Ryan in a not-so-secret way, and walked out of the office.

Simon watched Josh Lieberman leave, just smiled, looked at Meg Ryan opposite again, and still asked ruthlessly: "What do you use on weekdays, injections?"

"Of course not," Meg Ryan glanced sideways at the closed office door, then glanced at the villain-like young man opposite, paused, then raised her hand to make a smoking gesture, and said: "

Only, only occasionally, Mr. Westeros, I am not addicted to drugs."

Simon looked at the woman opposite, still hesitant.

The production budget of "When Harry Met Sally" is as high as 15 million US dollars, and he may have to invest it himself. Simon will never risk such a huge sum of money.

In memory, although Meg Ryan was not affected by this aspect and became popular two years later, Simon could not guarantee whether the appearance of his butterfly would change some things.

Meg Ryan noticed Simon's hesitation, remembered the agent's eyes when he left, looked at the young man opposite, thought about it, and quickly said: "Mr. Westeros, maybe we can eat together later.

Let’s discuss this matter in detail at dinner.”

Hearing this, Simon raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Sorry, Miss Ryan, I already have an appointment."

Now that she had said it, Meg Ryan no longer hesitated and said, "Tomorrow night is fine too."

Simon smiled and said, "Unfortunately, I also have a date tomorrow night."

Meg Ryan felt the bright eyes of the young man opposite her staring at her, and she felt a little embarrassed for no reason, but this embarrassment quickly turned into some kind of inexplicable rebellion.

Making up her mind, Meg Ryan stood up and turned around the coffee table, then knelt down on the carpet at the man's feet and reached out to grab Simon's belt.

Simon felt the pleasant smell of the woman in front of him, raised his hand to stop the other party's movements, and said: "Okay, sit back."

Meg Ryan did not give up and insisted on reaching out. Simon had no choice but to grab the woman's arm and push it gently.

Then.

Meg Ryan fell directly to the ground, curled up, and looked at Simon with a sideways look.

Damn it.

Muttering helplessly in his heart, Simon leaned on the sofa, crossed his legs, and was too lazy to help the woman on the ground, and said: "I originally wanted to talk to you about the script this time. But now, two things:

First, do a drug test. I want to make sure you haven't touched something. Second, after confirming this, I will arrange an audition for you. As long as you pass it, you must come to Daenerys every day until the filming starts.

She works in the film industry from 9 to 5. She is not allowed to stay up late, go to nightclubs, and she is not allowed to touch those things anymore. She also needs regular maintenance. Sally is a very delicate woman. You can only rely on a regular living environment and regular maintenance.

Get where I need to be.”

After Simon finished speaking, seeing the woman still lying on the carpet, he simply stood up and said, "I have thought about it, come back tomorrow."

It wasn't until Simon walked to the door that a voice came from behind him: "Tomorrow is Saturday."

Simon opened the door and said without looking back: "Or, it's okay if you don't come."

Back at the audition room, Simon continued to work until evening, then left Daenerys Film Headquarters and rushed directly to a mansion halfway up the hillside of Beverly Hills.

Simon does have an appointment tonight, a party at Robert Redford's house, but the purpose is for another character in "Pulp Fiction", the boxer Butch Coolidge.

The original Butch Coolidge was played by Bruce Willis, and Simon really didn't have much feelings for Bruce Willis. This time, he fell in love with another guy who had played a boxer.

certainly.

Not Sylvester Stallone.

With a budget of US$8 million, we can't afford to hire Stallone now.

Simon wanted to invite Robert De Niro, who had appeared in films such as "The Godfather", "Taxi Driver", and "Raging Bull". Robert Redford happened to have a good relationship with Robert De Niro, so he invited
