Hollywood Hunter

Ronald Goldberg just expressed his intentions on the phone, and he did not finalize it after all.In order to avoid another saw at noon, and even stalemate again, Simon simply rejected the other party's lunch invitation, just let Jonathan Friedman attend instead.

Agents often play a buffer role between filmmakers and studios.

Near noon, Jonathan hurried to meet the invitation of Ronald Goldberg. Simon borrowed a car from WMA and still took a paparazzi, and hurried back to the villa in Montana.

In front of the villa, there are also paparazzi.

Simon drove the car into the parking space in front of the villa. After getting off the car, there was some worry about whether the paparazzi would rush up. Fortunately, this group of people just stood on the road outside the villa lawn and took crazy pictures. Some people tried to communicate with him. , Naturally fruitless.

Pulling out the key to open the door, Simon listened to the dense clicks behind him and made up his mind to change his residence as soon as possible.This open community in the United States and the layout of the houses in the front and back yards are hard to make him feel safe. If he continues to live here, then there will be no privacy at all.

Entering the living room, and putting down his suitcase, Simon immediately noticed that the message alert light of the phone was flashing.

Walked over and glanced, the message was full.

Just press and play, and the voice of Mike Medova, the president of Orion Pictures, came out. There was no business, just a few casual words, hoping that Simon could call him back when he got home.The second call was from Ron McMillan. Ron expressed congratulations on the recent box office of "Rola Run" and asked Simon if he was free recently. The people who participated in the filming of "Rola Run" together If you want to hold a party, it's a celebration of the movie's big sale.

Simon also rushed to Malibu, listened to two messages, realized that the subsequent call would not be too important, he let it play automatically, pulled the suitcase and turned to the study.

This villa does not even have a home security system installed, and Simon will not plan to come back to live there anymore. Some important things are planned to be taken away this time.

Take out the clothes in the suitcase, carefully organize the manuscripts, notes, newspaper clippings and the like accumulated over the past six months and put them in. Confirm that there are no omissions. Simon pulls the suitcase back to the living room. Sandra is just right on the phone. Barabaradi was rated R-Rank for "Rola Run".

Simon was in Arizona when "Rola Run" was confirmed. He was very depressed for a while after hearing the news, but he was relieved at this time.

Movies are a business after all, and commercial competition has never been calm.Since Simon had rejected the Seventh Congress and chose Orion, he should be ready to be pitted.

and.

After the pit is over, everyone has to continue to discuss business.

This is the world.

Leaving Montana, Simon continued to ignore the trailing paparazzi and drove to Malibu.

Arriving at Janet's mansion near Malibu Dume Point Park, Simon really saw more than a dozen paparazzi guarding the not wide asphalt road, and the paparazzi who came along with Simon were also hurrying and chasing Behind his car, these people just parked the car in a public parking lot outside the community.

Right now this community asphalt road is forbidden to park.

Simon originally thought that if a paparazzi chased him over, would he tell someone to drag them away?Depending on the situation, he still underestimates these guys who are obviously'experienced in battle.'

While the paparazzi behind him hadn't approached, came to the gate of Janet Mansion, Simon quickly got out of the car, squeezed the pawls that had been surrounded by the dense shutter sound, and pressed hard on the talk button, a few times. In response, Janet returned to the car again, put on sunglasses, and allowed the paparazzi around to put the camera on the front window glass of the car for a while.

Inside the mansion.

Janet is wearing a homely sweater and jeans,

After speaking so quickly, Janet put down the big bowl in her hand, dropped the microphone, and ran out of the villa.

Outside the mansion.

The black panning iron door slowly opened, and Simon still ignored the paparazzi who had even blocked the front of the car, stepped on the accelerator slightly, and slowly moved into the yard.The paparazzi insisted on retreating to the door with the car. Seeing that Simon's speed was still slow and steady, he had no fear of hitting people and had to retreat.

The car entered the yard and the closed iron door closed again.

Simon got out of the car and glanced at the row above the iron gate, holding up a blind-shooting camera against the yard. While removing luggage from the car, he said to Janet hiding in the dead end: "The door is good, it is stronger than the fence door. , It would be perfect if it could be higher."

Janet smiled and said, "I'll call and ask the workers to change the door."

Simon shook his head and said: "Forget it, it's just right now, and it's ugly when you raise it."

With that said, Simon held a stack of folders brought back from the WMA side, and took the suitcase to hide where Janet stood. Janet reached for the stack of documents, and the two of them walked into the villa.

Just after entering the villa, Janet lifted her chin slightly and gestured to the surroundings, saying, "How is this?"

Simon looked at the simple decoration of the warm colors in the villa, listening to the faint sound of the waves from the terrace, nodding and saying, "Very well, I don't want to go now."

"Hehe," Janet smiled and put a stack of documents in her hand on the coffee table. "Then you hurry up and marry me, then half of this is yours."

Simon glanced up and down at Janet and said, "Is it only half?"

"Huh," Janet leaned over and hugged Simon, changing his tone softly: "It's all yours, even I am yours."

Simon lowered his head and pecked on the lips of the woman and said, "Help me find a study room. Before I found the house, I probably only lived here. I can also accompany you, and a lot of paparazzi stay outside. I'm still not at ease."

Janet let go of Simon and took him to another room, but was somewhat dissatisfied: "Why are you still looking for a house, is it not good to live here?"

Simon shook his head and said, "Not used."

Janet pouted: "Humph, macho."

"It has nothing to do with any doctrine. Lions will not live in other people's territories. Where can you understand a kitten?"

"Okay, okay, I'm a kitten," Janet brought him to a room near the sea with a tone that was too lazy to argue with Simon, and said, "How is it here?"

Simon looked at it, a very spacious study.To the east is a wall of bookshelves with various handicrafts placed on it, next to the bookshelf is a large desk, and to the south is a floor-to-ceiling window leading to the terrace where a set of sofas for sunbathing is placed.

"Not bad, just have another phone."

"Yes," Janet pointed to the cabinet under the bookshelf, and said, "You are looking for it. There is a telephone interface in the cabinet. It can be used when installed."

"It's okay," Simon nodded and put the suitcase aside, said: "Are you ready for lunch?"

"I'm planning to bake a small cake. There is not much left at home, I can only do this."

Simon pushed Janet out and said, "That's it for now. Let someone buy us something in the afternoon."

After a simple lunch, Simon got into the study and started to get busy.

Since "Roller Run" was more successful than expected, Simon also intends to re-plan his next development.

Before that, he must first build a team dedicated to serving himself.

Simon now only has agents and private lawyers, and Jonathan Friedman and George Norman are enough to hold these two positions around him.

But this is not enough.

In addition to brokers and private lawyers, dealing with media issues, Simon also needs a dedicated public relations manager; to manage personal assets, Simon also needs a reliable financial manager; and on the side of Daenerys, Simon also wants to find a A professional manager with sufficient qualifications; finally, there are security issues. Although I don’t like someone to always be around, at least when attending public places, having a bodyguard around can definitely help him avoid many problems...

Lin Lin always has a lot.

Simon spent the afternoon calling some of the connections he has accumulated over the past six months, either seeking referrals or seeking experience, and occasionally making judgments based on some of the information in his memory.

He also had to be very cautious.

In the case of the finance manager, Simon has more than one Hollywood star in his memory who has been bankrupted because of a misfortune.After several considerations, Simon even canceled his plan to hire a financial manager, and only planned to seek an accounting firm to help him and the two companies handle the details of the accounts and tax returns.

As for the management of personal assets, this is no hurry.What's more, although her woman is lazy, she eventually graduated from a genuine business school, and occasionally a small leather whip will definitely work.

During this period, Jonathan Friedman also made a phone call and said that he had spoken with Ronald Goldberg.

Simon's proposed split clause and absolute control of the project Fox basically agreed, but Fox also requested that Simon's share of the minimum box office guarantee be increased to 20 million US dollars.

Only when Simon agrees to this point can the two parties continue to discuss the specific details of the contract.

16 million US dollars and 20 million US dollars, the gap is actually not big.

Simon understood that Fox did this, just to save some face, and did not persevere, agreeing readily.

When you are busy, time always passes by quickly, and it is already setting sun unconsciously.

Janet originally helped Simon by the side, but less than an hour later, no interest, holding a large number of documents brought back by him nested on the terrace sofa with interest.

Hanging up the phone again, Simon glanced at the contact number of a public relations company named PMK in front of him. It felt quite interesting because PMK's boss was named Pat Kingsley, the famous PR queen in Hollywood.

The most well-known client under Pat Kingsley is naturally Tom Cruise.Of course, in Simon's memory, stars such as Judy Foster, Al Pacino, Will Smith and so on are all customers of Pat Kingsley.

As for why Tom Cruise is best known for working with each other?

Obviously, because Cruz’s public image is too difficult to maintain, Pat Kingsley has made this job perfect for more than a decade.

Originally in space and time, Cruise dismissed Pat Kingsley in 2004 and appointed his sister to take charge of public relations work. The result was that Atago quickly became a clown jumping on the sofa.

Just about to call the PMK to make an appointment, Simon heard Janet lying on the sofa suddenly laugh out of nowhere.

Looking up, Simon also smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Janet raised a script in her hand, still smiling: "Oh, this, it's so interesting."

With that said, Janet simply got up, ran to Simon and squeezed in his arms, and showed a page of script, saying, "Simon, will you make this for your next movie?"

"You always have to show me the script first."

Simon held Janet's small hand that was still shaking because she was too happy. It turned out to be "When Harry Meets Sally" and the most memorable part of the story.

Harry and Sally had dinner in the restaurant, and they suddenly discussed the issue of women's true and false reactions in bed.

Harry insisted that it was impossible for a woman to fake in bed, at least he hadn't encountered it.Sally despised it very much, and woke up in the restaurant in front of everyone in a brilliant manner.

Simon looked at the short plot description in the script, but the relevant scene immediately appeared in his mind.

Due to the superb performances of Meg Ryan and Billy Christo, this plot does not appear obscene at all, but instead gives people a sense of tolerance.

There was also an old lady in memory who, after Sally shouted excitedly, pointed at the food in front of her and told the waiter: "Give me a copy as she did."

The effect is more impressive.

However, there is no such detail in the script in front of me, it should be the director's temporary play during the shooting process.

Simon made a mark on the script with a pencil, reminding himself to fill this section in the future, and asked Janet with great interest: "Are you pretending to be in bed?"

"Hmm, how could you be so powerful," Janet posted a note on Simon, watching him draw a five-pointed star in the script, and said, "Simon, I really like this story."

Simon nodded decisively and said, "Shoot!"

"Oh, you are so good," Janet twisted, kissed Simon's lips, and hugged his neck, his eyes sparkling, and said: "Otherwise, let's try it now, you again Look carefully and am I pretending?"

"No, I am still confident."

Janet grabbed the collar of Simon's jacket and said, "You guys are so arrogant."

Simon smiled and did not talk, and then flipped through the script in front of him, saying: "However, Jenny, this is a romantic movie, not suitable for my next movie. Even if I want to make it, I will probably only be a producer. people."

"Well," Jenny nodded, simply turned her back in the chair, faced Simon, and helped him sort out the collar that he had just been ruffled. He said, "So, Simon, what are you going to make in the next movie?" Ah, don’t you always want to be a producer?"

Simon stretched his hands around the woman's thin waist and said, "I will be busy with "The Grim Reaper" for the time being, and perhaps this one. As for my next movie, I will not tell you first. However, in order to keep me The popularity gained from "Rola Run" will first of all be more stunning."
