Hollywood Hunter

Chapter 954: Another Postponement

The next room with a terrace, Amy Pascal was surrounded by a group of women sitting on the terrace of the sofa, feeling the cool breeze of the mountains of the Los Angeles night, a playful teasing after the conclusion: "is ...... very talk between us, the kind of spiritual compatibility, and his life experience is very Rich, funny, and always finding all sorts of things to talk about when you get along, in short, the very right one."

Janet leaned back on the couch with a glass of wine and faced Amy with a bit of a tease and a reminder, "But, Amy, you two are a bit too far apart in age and, well, how is he physically?"

That's a little blunt.

Amy looked embarrassedly across at Janet and simply looked at Jennifer on the other side of Janet, "Jenny, what are you doing out at the party today? Well, for the last few years people have always thought that you've been locked up in the villa with Simon, forbidden to go out, only to keep watching the kids and doing chores."

Before Jennifer could answer, Janet had snapped, "No it's not, in fact it's locked in the basement, no food, beaten every day, I stole the key from Simon to get Jenny out today."

Everyone laughed.

There were six women on the terrace, not counting the two Vikings, Zoe and Isabel, who were serving the two waitresses.

In addition to the two Jennys and the newly arrived Amy, there was Nancy Brill, the small female executive of Daenerys Entertainment, Sandra Bullock, who had known Simon for a long time and thus had always been quite close personal friends, and Vero Bey, Robert Edge's second wife whom he had just married last year.

She is in her early thirties, has blonde hair, and was a host before her marriage to Iger, and has a very nice personality. Because of the equal age, and Iger took the initiative to help his wife with the matchmaking, only at this time to sit here.

In fact, there are a lot of executives on the party curry have brought their families over, but either the age difference is too great or can not talk together, except for Vailo - Bay, the other were not able to step into this far from the men next door to open a small circle, the most just come over to say hello, say a few words, and then the interesting people.

It was true that after resigning from her position as Simon's assistant a few years ago, Jennifer had seldom participated in social events anymore, as she had to concentrate on running the household and taking care of the children.

To be fair, Simon's appearance tonight with the two Jennies was really a surprise to many people.

Even though the relationship between his assistant and Simon had been well known for years, it was a bit of a misnomer, and Simon's appearance tonight was a public acknowledgement of the fact that there were two wives in the same house.

However, it was only a slight surprise.

After all, most people subconsciously take for granted all kinds of unorthodox deviations from the norm by their superiors. Not to mention the fact that Simon's relationship with the two Jennies was already not even gossip, it was the plain truth. Even if they didn't have to be unscrupulous about Simon's status, the gossip media wouldn't bother to play up the outdated news.

The circle is even more accustomed to this.

Hearing the laughter around her, the female assistant poked Janet on the waist of the nonsense and looked to Amy, "Don't change the subject, Amy, people are talking about you."

"That's it, nothing else," Amy saw the female assistant throw the ball back and spread her hands, as for the pregnancy, everyone already knew about it, so she changed the subject again, "Are you both out, who's watching the kids, is Sophie coming over here?"

Jennifer shook her head, "No, it's Vinnie, she's coming over from Australia for the weekend."

"Oh."

Amy nodded, she knew Veronica quite well and also knew that Janet, her aunt, had been celibate but loved children.

Seeing that Amy couldn't dig up anything here, Janet turned to a certain small female executive on the other side of the room, "Nancy, Amy's all getting married, did you, um, the one from Silicon Valley, what was it, send you flowers, and I remember there was a board member from Knight Ridder?"

Nancy Brill would have been surveying the party crowd downstairs, sipping her wine at the news and shaking her head, "I'm too busy making money for your husband all day to have time to think about such things."

"Oh, I see," Janet squeezed her eyes shut, "You've been secretly in love with Simon for a long time."

Nancy shot a glance over her shoulder and proudly ignored it, continuing to look downstairs.

Some vague feelings did arise at first, after all, a certain young man was just too bright, and aggressive. However, as the Westeros system continued to expand and Simon focused more on other aspects of his life, lessening his focus on Daenerys Entertainment, there was inevitably much less opportunity for contact between them.

Time could always wear away too much.

Nancy has always been surrounded by suitors, whether it is the Silicon Valley technology elite or the world's top five hundred executives or the heirs of the old money family, there is everything, but none of them can impress the heart of the beautiful woman.

In fact, the main reason is that Nancy's instinctive resistance to male and female matters, because of certain upbringing, coupled with her height, so and so, in short, the only small female executive in the heart of the door knocked out some crack some guy no further, the others are in vain.

Janet didn't poorly pursue and flirt with a joke, but instead talked to everyone about the essential topics the women had to talk about when they were together, fashion and beauty and fitness and travel and such, as well as bits of light-hearted little gossip.

"China is really beautiful and, as Simon said, mainly because of the thousands of years of cultural heritage that exists in that land, just like any famous mountain, which may be just a mountain on our side, China there will be full of legendary stories and ancient poems. So, Amy, when you and Bernard are on your honeymoon in September, I suggest that you take some time to visit China, and I'll personally arrange a professional guide for you then."

"Yes," Amy agreed, and then, seemingly unintentionally, "I hear Simon has formed a Chinese dance team?"

Janet's eyes narrowed, "You want to see?"

Amy smiled unnecessarily and said, "Just a little curious."

Amy said so, and apart from the two Jennies, the other women also had an ear-to-ear expression.

This matter of the National Wind Art Troupe was of little public concern, but in private it was very famous, only most of the arguments tended to be that it was another clear evidence of someone's absurd private life.

In fact, Simon is planning to arrange a tour for the troupe at the end of the year, and is now choreographing the choreography. Since you guys want to see it, I'll have them fly in tomorrow, and, well, we can just perform it over here, which also happens to be a cliffside mansion."

Everyone was suddenly surprised that someone was planning to arrange a public tour for this troupe, and thought it was just a private confine.

So the small flame of inner gossip hunting rested quite a bit.

Curiosity was still a certainty.

Amy said, "Why don't we do it at the Malibu Studios Staff Activity Center, the stage is better there, tomorrow or Sunday."

Janet nodded, "Sure."

Sandra interjected, "Janet, don't you need to ask Simon?"

Janet's soft body, long practiced in yoga, twisted on the couch and shifted into a different position, "Not discussing it with him."

Amy quirked an eyebrow, "Not in the right mood."

Sandra chimed in, "Fighting?"

Janet lifted her chin slightly and stared at Sandra like a queen, "Little Sandy, you don't stand a chance."

Sandra smiled badly, "Yeah, yeah, I'm not in a hurry, I'm so young after all."

So a cushion flew over.

Jennifer smiled as she watched Janet play a little sexist, she knew of course, it was actually still the one in the house at this point, it always somehow made Janet itch for some guy.

A few laughs, Janet was very much a bit of a windfall, and asked Isabel to bring her cell phone and call Angry Davis directly from New York, so that she could arrange for the girls from the National Wind Art Group to fly over tomorrow.

The night was getting late.

After ten o'clock, the guests began to gradually disperse, and the party, already relaxed and uninhibited, was enjoyed to the fullest.

Simon hadn't been hiding upstairs talking to a bunch of big shots, and had gone downstairs at nine o'clock to socialize for a while.

Nor did he go home with the two Janes afterwards.

Got kicked out of the house tonight.

According to Janet, he had no shortage of places to go anyway.

In a sitting room on the first floor of the mansion house.

Simon was discussing Changing Faces with a clearly still in high spirits, Pigeon Wu, sitting next to Kate Beckinsale, and on the other side of Kate was Rachel Vizzi, the two women who had dawdled so far after Janet's departure were finally able to approach Simon.

John Woo sits respectfully on a single couch near Simon's side.

"As you may have heard, Wu, James's Titanic has been postponed again, and to be on the safe side, we've decided to push the film to the end of next year, and the slot vacated by Titanic, I'd like Changing Faces to fill, which will require you to speed up the production pace, so, any questions on your end?"

From the initial test run of Ultimate Target to Broken Arrow and the recent release of Mission Impossible 2, three films in a row, all of which have been successful and have been better at the box office one by one, Pigeon Wu has been promoted as a rare Asian face to become a top tier Hollywood director.

Hollywood is the most realistic place to be.

If you can make a big selling movie, you are God. Other than that, race, colour and all that is just a cloud. So, even though his next film deal has been finalized, Pigeon Wu is still being courted by Hollywood studios these days, at the top of his game.

In front of Simon, however, the director didn't show any arrogance of complacency: "Of course not, Simon, in fact, at the pace of work I've developed in Hong Kong, one year is more than enough time."

"Very well," Simon nodded in satisfaction, he certainly knew the quick shooter nature of the Hong Kong director, "In that case, regarding the lead actor, I've given serious consideration recently, let's go with Peter, no need to delay any further. With the core role finalized, you can also focus on other aspects of the project's preparation."

John Wu sniffed and hesitated a little, but nodded again.

Not that he was unhappy with Brad Pitt.

The Superman actor was actually very good at acting, and had an air of being both good and evil about him, so it couldn't have been more appropriate for the role of Custer in Changing Faces. It's just that now, after all, it's not the same as it used to be, and he's a first-rate director himself, and deep down inside, Pigeon Wu is beginning to want to have more say in the project, rather than be told what to do.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to collaborate with other studios for the next film.

After some more chatting, Pigeon Wu got up and said that it was getting late and he was leaving.

Simon sent Pigeon Wu to the front door of the villa, waited for the other party to leave, raised his wrist to look at the time, it was already past 11 o'clock, was about to say something to the side of Kate and silently following Rachel, a group of goblins swarmed over.

Fernanda Lima and Heidi Crumb took Simon's arm left and right, quietly squeezing Kate who was just standing next to the man, "Simon, are you leaving? How about going to that cottage you lent us in Beverly Canyon, it's so big, only the six of us are scared."

The goblins were shrewd.

Having quietly watched Janet Westeros leave without Simon following, they realized that there was something going on tonight and kept a close eye on it. Seeing that the time was about right, they came running decisively to grab someone.

They're six, so they're still very competitive.

Simon smiled and agreed, then turned his head to Kate, who was just feeling lost on the other side of the news, "Kate, Rachel, you guys should come along too, and tell me about the filming of Mindcatcher."

The two women sniffed, Kate opening her mouth slightly and Rachel glaring.

Six plus two.

Bastard, can you stand it?

The two women, who are inexplicably following someone in the car, actually refused to get into the car for a little while, but unfortunately were pulled by Kate and couldn't escape. The six Fernanda's would have dragged Simon into their luxury stretch Lincoln, but Simon took his own black Mercedes, with Rachel and Kate on the left and right, so the two women somehow felt they had won the game.

Beverly Canyon was a community in Beverly Hills, located on the west side of Beverly Hills, bordering Bellaire.

Simon and his party left Palisades and headed east on Sunset Boulevard, where late night traffic was dwindling, and reached their destination in just under half an hour.

It was a mansion, also on a larger plot of land on the cliffside than the Palisade side, and clearly not just the six of them as Fernanda had said, there was a full team of maids and guards on this side and it wasn't deserted.

Kate Beckinsale took Simon's arm and got out of the car, looking up at the exaggerated white-walled, blue-roofed double-decker in front of her, and suddenly remembered some private gossip about another legendary Howard Hughes, the super-rich and Hollywood mogul who was said to be hiding over a hundred lovers in the Los Angeles area.

Now that I think about it, some guy might be even more exaggerated than Howard Hughes in that regard.

At the very least, the mansion in front of him is much more handsome.

Even Kate's own place in Los Angeles had been arranged by Simon, an oceanfront villa on the southern edge of Malibu's Pepperdine University, more than ten kilometers from Point Dume, certainly nothing like the Point Dume estate, but enough for her to live comfortably with a guard, and she had planned to drag Rachel there tonight.

Now.

Well.

What's next?

Janet's departure left the baby-faced Zoe in charge of Simon's upkeep to arrive a little earlier, and skilfully took over the team of attendants, as well as arranging for Simon's entourage of bodyguards to stay in the annex, and summoning the female guards of this villa for some security checks.

The six gargoyle extended Lincolns arrived last, got out and came around again.

Kate in the Palisades did not react, this time of course will not be modest, but also indicated that Rachel occupy the other side of Simon, Rachel always felt that she should not appear here in the heart of the mind in the end what is the situation ah, but still obeyed Kate's eyes indicate to do so.

Simon led the group into the villa as he asked Kate, "Something to drink, you don't have to be afraid to get drunk when you come over here."

Kate tilted her face to the man, "Simon, are you trying to get me and Rachel drunk?"

Simon laughed, "I never do anything with drunk women, it's too boring and smelly, and even more of a lifetime shadow in case I throw up. If you get drunk, I'll stay away from you."

Kate made a disgusted face, "I'm shaded by what you're saying."

"But a little drink before bed is okay."

Said already entering the villa.

Kate pointed over to the inner courtyard, "I want to swim."

Actually over at Palisade she wanted to, but she wasn't as liberal as a group of goblins.

"No problem."

Simon was easy to talk to and told Zoe, "Help Kate and Rachel with two swimsuits."

Rachel: "......"

Did I say anything?

The pool is bigger here, the hillside mansion on the Palisades side is on only one acre, this side is just looking out over three acres.

The Mediterranean climate of Los Angeles summer nights seemed cool, with temperatures of only about 15 degrees.

The two women led by the waitress first to take a shower, and then changed into swimsuits out, this side of the pool has been very lively.

No outsiders, six big leprechauns more open, even bathing suits do not need, direct natural mermaid, playful laughter far from the sound.

And, the pool at this time in the dense dense fog, like ...... water vapor?

Know that this is a heated pool.

It's just that, the area of at least 500 square meters of open air heated pool, look at the electricity consumption ah.

Approaching, Simon sat on a lounge chair, also changed his clothes, draped in a cotton bathrobe, and handed them two glasses: "Taste it, vodka, it is said that this kind used to be supplied only to the former Soviet Moscow top brass."

Kate took it curiously, apparently noticing the smile on Simon's lips, brought it to her lips and took a sip, immediately starting to spit her tongue, "It's so spicy, Simon you're so bad."

Rachel also tasted a mouthful and also almost coughed it out.

A group of mermaids were now clamoring to swim over again, expelling a lump of heads at the edge of the pool at Simon's feet.

Simon patiently handed the goblins a glass of wine over as he said to Kate, "You're not used to this, you'll just have to drink more often."

The goblins that ambled over to the poolside likewise puked their tongues out in spice, and a certain fox put the cup aside, not intending to drink any more, and spotting a problem, tilted his head up and asked, "Simon, why don't you drink yourself?"

"It's too spicy, just watch you guys drink it."

"......"

The goblins looked at each other, gathered a little closer, and suddenly reached out together, dragging Simon into the pool.

The already bubbling hot water of the pool was like a boil amidst the laughter.

Kate and Rachel looked at each other and also took off their bathrobes, stepped a little further away, and carefully slid into the water, which was suddenly just the right temperature to make you want to scream in comfort. Besides, such an exaggeratedly heated bath was even more comfortable than a hot bath in a bathtub.

Though bar.

Not far away, frolicking with Simon and the six goblins, what happened immediately was so blushing that you wanted to run away.
