Hollywood Hunter

Chapter 1110 - A Hot Weekend (2)

The day after the celebration party was Saturday, March 22nd.

Scarlett Johnson thought it would take at least a week to finalize the man's promise of a new place for the family to live, so neither sister had fully discussed what to tell her mother.

Unexpectedly, early in the morning, someone approached them.

The familiar was the family's agent Scott Lambert, and there were two other uniformed women who made Scarlett feel a little ashamed of herself, living in Los Angeles, more or less also a little heard of, this should be the legendary Victoria's waitress.

It was Melanie Sloan who was the one who was most in the dark.

What's the status?

Discovering that the family hadn't communicated about certain things, Scott Lambert went down to the scene himself, having of course received a hint of explanation beforehand, so he only talked about his sister Vanessa, not Scarlett.

His own daughter was even interested in Simon Westeros!

It wasn't until the family arrived in the affluent Brentwood area north of Santa Monica from Ocean Park, Brentwood Heights to be exact, halfway up the mountain, that a series of thoughts ran through Melanie Sloan's mind, and only when she saw the two-story mansion on an acre of land on a ridge with an excellent view, did the chaotic thoughts dissipate and return to reality a bit.

Scarlett was no exception.

This should actually be the man's own.

The first thing that she did was to ask a waitress to take her into the villa, which had white walls and blue tiles, and she certainly couldn't say what style it was.

Of course, the maid did not refuse, and behaved very respectfully, leading the little girl inside first.

When Vanessa saw her sister like this, she could not help but feel a little bit sour inside, and also did as she was told, calling out to another maid, who also wanted to go in and have a look around, and also said that she wanted to pick a room. The other two Johnsons, Adrian and Hunter, who were also dazed when Scarlett left just now, finally reacted to her sister's words and followed suit.

But inside, she couldn't help but think how nice it would be if Simon really only liked her.

Melanie Sloan saw the children enter the villa and looked again at Mr. Agent, who was beside her.

Scott Lambert withdrew his gaze to examine the villa in front of him, and could only envy this family's good fortune, for such a mansion, even if Scarlett or Vanessa became a big star in the future and let him, the agent, follow the glory, he was unlikely to be able to afford it. Go inside and take a look."

"Oh, sure."

Melanie Sloan followed suit and entered, having seen a little more than the children, but, just stepping into the lavish to somewhat inferior hall, her first thought was, how do you clean up when it's so big?

Immediately, I felt very lame.

Scott Lambert, quietly watching the expression on the woman's face beside him, paused and said, "Melanie, how much do you think this house is worth?"

Melanie Sloan heard the agent ask, subconsciously stopped again and thought about it a bit before saying, "Probably, at least $20 million, right?"

Instead of affirming or denying, Mr. Agent took another look around and suddenly smiled oddly: "Yeah, $20 million, and coincidentally, the Michael Jackson case a few years back, that family ended up getting a settlement from Michael for $20 million.

Michael Jackson's case?

Melanie Sloan was slightly stunned and quickly reacted, but not only did she have nothing to look forward to, but a chill ran down her spine as her agent looked on, and she subconsciously and frantically shook her head, "Scott, you, I, would never do that."

Just kidding.

That's Simon Westeros.

As an insider who has been around the industry since she was a kid, Melanie Sloan has heard and seen too many things to be able to tell the truth about Michael Jackson, but, as far as Simon Westeros is concerned, she knows that there is no way that he could blackmail his opponent in the same way.

Because Simon Westeros is much more than just a Hollywood director, he is also the richest man in the world.

How much more powerful can money be?

Let's talk about the super scandal of the DuPont family, another super old money family in the United States, which was also boiling some years ago.

A member of the DuPont family had repeatedly abused his daughter since she was three years old, and allegedly his son was among the victims.

The DuPont family member never even went to jail for a day, paying a mere $4,000 fine and then spending a symbolic period of time in a luxury sanatorium.

Melanie Sloan could imagine that if she had targeted Simon Westeros with her daughter, she might not even have been able to build a case.

Scott Lambert nodded in satisfaction at Melanie Sloan's reaction, and continued to visit the villa, saying to her: "Melanie, in short, you can look ahead and think about the big stars like Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts, who now have the support of Mr. Westeros, and in the future, Vanessa, or Adrienne, Scarlett, and the others. There will always be a day when you become a big star. On the other hand, if you develop any thoughts that you shouldn't have, all of this now, it's like a bubble that pops and nothing ever comes back."

Melanie Sloan nodded repeatedly, "Scott, I understand."

"Actually," Mr. Agent added, "As far as I know, Nisa and Mr. Westeros haven't had any intimate relationship, as you should know very well, and Nisa should not have had any sleepovers in recent months."

Melanie was slightly confused, then realized what Mr. Broker was implying and was suddenly a little apprehensive as well.

The family was already going to live in such a luxurious house, and their daughter hadn't had anything to do with the big man, which always gave people a feeling of not being very secure.

A little hesitantly, Melanie tentatively asked, "Scott, this, what should I do?"

Mr. Agent laughed and shook his head, "Not what you should do, Melanie, you should teach your daughter how to do it." With that, Scott Lambert remembered something again and said, "Oh, and you, you've done some film work before, right? The work of the resignation of the job, Denise Entertainment has a new job for you, which also happens to be the "Clash of Worlds" that Nisa just got the role in yesterday, and your position is production assistant."

Not being an outsider, and therefore Melanie knows that a production assistant, the job can be high or low.

If you're a production assistant to a project's core producer, you also have a lot of power and can influence every aspect of the film's production process, but if you're just a production assistant in charge of set logistics, etc., you're, frankly, a handyman.

Melanie Sloan felt that her 'production assistant' was probably of the odd-job variety, but she had no problem with that.

It would be odd if she wasn't a handyman.

However, Melanie also knows that, because of her daughter, as long as she can do a good job in the upcoming job, just the name of the "Clash of Worlds" is a very good qualification, there is no lack of opportunities to go further in the future. After all, even Amy Pascal of Daenerys Entertainment started out as an ordinary assistant at Fox.

After such a lively morning, the Johnsons finally settled down.

There were a few hiccups.

The sisters Vanessa and Scarlett were arguing over a room, but Melanie Sloan intervened and decided to give the room to her eldest daughter. Seeing her sister's smug expression, Scarlett was so depressed that she wanted to explode, but the little girl was smart enough not to confess to her mother that there was nothing wrong.

In addition to the mansion, the Vickers' waitressing team took into account all aspects of the Johnsons' life, including Melanie Sloan's new job, daily expenses, travel vehicles, and the children's school transfers.

The Johnsons don't need to worry about any of the daily expenses of the mansion, which will be taken care of. On top of that, the family will have $20,000 a month to live on. This is essentially pocket change, as even the cost of a new school for a few of the children and the daily performance training for the four siblings is still not a concern.

All in all, it felt like a step into high society.

Adrian and his brother drove a Mercedes SUV in the open space in their mother's restricted front yard to practice, even though they hadn't taken their driver's license yet but couldn't stand the temptation of four different luxury cars in the garage.

The sisters, who had argued in the morning, were again together in an upstairs study.

It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and the new spring collection of Tinkerbell was about to begin.

Scarlett was a little younger, but became interested when she realized that the event was also about a man.

So the sisters, who were still angry with each other and didn't talk much, huddled together in front of the computer in this study.

There were computers in other rooms, including the girls' bedrooms, but Scarlett was not going to give in this time, as she had just been set upon by her sister in the morning, and insisted on staying.

At two o'clock, the live webcast, which had been warming up and switching between scenes, turned to the Employee Activity Center on the Igretta campus in Mountain View, San Francisco, and amidst the applause, Claire Gein, Chairman and CEO of Tinkerbell, took the stage, and the press conference began on time.

The legend of the ABCD Four Girls is well known.

The two sisters looked at the C-girl in the camera, each of them could not help but have a little hope in their hearts, of course, not to become a strong woman like C-girl, but, since they were able to establish contact with Simon Westeros, there was no shortage of a very bright future for them.

As the camera panned over the guests, both sisters caught a glimpse of a man with great precision and lifted their spirits.

Although, the cool temperament of the woman sitting next to the man, but inevitably make the two girls a little ashamed of themselves.

Realizing that there are many enemies, the two sisters felt a sense of sympathy for each other.

San Francisco, Mountain View.

Since he stayed on the West Coast this weekend for various things, Simon made his way over.

After creating a series of growth and sales miracles since its founding, this year's Tinkerbell new product launch was once again unprecedented in scale, with thousands of journalists from all over the world.

Of course, different voices are not absent.

Many, to be precise.

On the one hand, after being robbed by Tinkerbell for several years in a row, other long-established electronics manufacturers have gradually started to compete with each other by launching the same type of products. On the other hand, after three super-hot flagship products, the industry also expects that it will be difficult for Tinkerbell to launch another model in a short time.

Microsoft's share of the PC market has exceeded 90%, even if the Westeros system has created too many miracles, it is not easy to turn the tide in this area.

Therefore, although the press conference was highly anticipated, many media predicted ahead of time that it should lack highlights.

The Linux version of the PC was hardly a highlight at all.

However, with the official start of the press conference, the mood of the audience, both inside and outside the venue, soon began to change.

The lights focused on the stage.

C-Girl began with a review of Tinkerbell's 1996 results.

Even though the financial results had been released in January, the impact of the numbers on the big screen was even more striking.

This past fiscal year, three of Tinkerbell's core electronics products were sold.

The iCam, with 33.1 million units shipped annually.

iPlayer, with 35.6 million units shipped annually.

iRec, 23.9 million units shipped annually.

Just adding the three together brings the total to 92.6 million units, and just in the past year, hundreds of businesses, large and small, worldwide accumulated only 13.8 billion units of personal computers shipped.
