Hollywood Hunter

The three approached, and Simon and the two greeted each other, looking at Jonathan and De Niro's looks without trace.

Jonathan is still gentle and modest on weekdays, but De Niro's expression is obviously hesitant.

Seeing this, Simon realized that Jonathan should have spoken very well with De Niro.

However, Robert De Niro obviously has not yet made up his mind.

After several accidents last year, WMA, which has a rigid operating mechanism and internal struggles, has obviously started to turn from prosperity to decline.On the other hand, C+'s packaging strategy is constantly striving for higher and higher compensation for Hollywood stars. Robert De Niro wants to choose a brokerage company, which side is completely self-evident.

However, Simon is very reluctant to see this happen.

As his identity changed from screenwriter and director to producer and investor, Simon realized that if C+ became once again as dominant as the original space-time, Hollywood film companies would definitely become more and more passive.

If you want to break this situation, the method can't be simpler, as far as possible to keep the competition situation of the Hollywood major brokerage companies evenly matched.

Daenerys Pictures is still just a small yellow croaker that has just stirred up a few waves in Hollywood. It is certainly impossible to change this industry trend by itself.However, Simon will not easily give up this effort.

Therefore, after talking a few words, Simon bluntly said: "Bob, in my opinion, joining WMA is a better choice for you."

Since the first meeting, Robert De Niro's perception of Simon has been very good.

Hearing this, he glanced at Jonathan Friedman and thought about it and said frankly: "Simon, and Joe, in fact, Mr. Ovitz has already talked to me several times in person. To be fair, C+ treats me Is more attractive."

Simon glanced at the slightly uncomfortable expression of Jonathan and continued to Robert De Niro: "Bob, you must know Sean Connery's office in C+?"

Robert De Niro nodded doubtfully.

Sean Connery was the first Hollywood superstar C+ took over.In order to express the importance of this customer, Michael Ovitz has stated that C+ will always keep a separate office for Sean Connery.

For most celebrities, this matter seems to reflect the importance C+ attaches to its customers.

Simon has a completely different view of this: "Bob, since C+ signed Sean Connery in 1979, there haven't been a few box office movies he has played in these years. Even four years ago The 007 rumored "Cruising Missiles", the box office can not be regarded as a success. But C+ still keeps getting high budget projects for Sean Connery. Bob, do you know what this means?"

De Niro just shook his head, but Jonathan's eyes were a little clearer, but he didn't intervene, smiling and waiting for Simon to continue.

Simon continued: "This means that C+ is also a company that pays great attention to seniority. Moreover, the collaborative cooperation mechanism within C+ is also destined to involuntarily tilt more resources to some people. Sean Kang Nally is the beneficiary of this mechanism. And, not only Sean Connery, C+ now also has Dustin Hoffman, Warren Beatty, Robert Redford, Al Pa Each of Sino, superstars whose reputation is comparable to yours, became C+ customers earlier than you. So, Bob, do you think you can get enough attention if you join C+ now?"

In fact, Simon's remarks are definitely not just to prevent De Niro from joining C+.

If there is no Simon, Robert De Niro will indeed become another big-name customer of C+.

But the result.

From the 1990s, Robert De Niro, who was originally expected to shoulder Meryl Streep in performance achievements, has gradually become a comedy star.

C+, when Sean Connery was almost seventy years old, also won the sky-high price of $20 million for the other party through "Sky Trap".But Robert De Niro's rare age can only star in the vulgar comedy "Inferior Grandfather".

This has to be said to be a great regret in the history of Hollywood movies.

Robert De Niro couldn't help being silent after hearing Simon's words.

Neither Simon nor Jonathan bothered.

A moment later, Robert said to Jonathan: "Joe, I need to think about it again."

Jonathan realized that this matter would not happen again, and nodded: "Of course, Bob, I am looking forward to hearing your good news."

It's past nine thirty before the time has passed.

Having said this, Robert De Niro said goodbye.

Sending the other party away and returning to the party scene, Jonathan asked Simon curiously: "You don't seem to want De Niro to join C+ more than I do, what's the matter?"

Although the relationship was close, Simon couldn't share his heart's thoughts with Jonathan and Pan, just said: "You must know what happened on Monday? I'm not very happy with Ovitz."

Jonathan nodded and smiled.

Of course he knew what was happening on Monday, and even worried that Simon would suddenly be dug by C+.

After a week of toleration, Jonathan originally wanted to test Simon's attitude at this party.After he just persuaded Robert De Niro, the agent had completely rested his mind at this time.

So I talked about another thing: "Simon, the actress profile you sent in the afternoon, Nicole Kidman. I have already contacted her, and it’s not a problem to dig over. However, you are How did you plan?"

Simon did not conceal, said: "I want her to appear in Mia."

Jonathan's progress on the selection of "Pulp Fiction" is clear.

The role of Mia is just now in the stage of submitting resumes.Nicole Kidman has some fame in Australia, but in Hollywood, this is completely an unknown pawn, Simon is unlikely to see the other party's performance in advance.

However, the message'Australia' flashed in his mind, and Jonathan suddenly thought of Janet.

As Simon’s agent, although it is not clear what happened between the two, Jonathan can determine from many signs that Simon and Janet are not as hostile as the outside world said, and even the love between the couple is not awkward. Count.

Perhaps this Nicole Kidman was recommended to Simon by Janet Johnston.

Jonathan knew that Simon was never a rash person.Since he wants Nicole Kidman to star in Mia, the actress can definitely support this role."Rola Run" has made Sandra a Hollywood actress, and Jonathan naturally does not mind the appearance of another top actress in his name.

The two chatted for a while. Simon also planned to say goodbye, but remembered another thing: "Joe, I just made a cartoon story script recently. Here for you next Monday, help me contact Disney."

Jonathan was a little surprised: "Animation?"

Simon nodded and said, "The story tells the story of a lion's gradual growth as the king of the grasslands. The name is "Lion King."

Jonathan couldn't help but shake his head: "Simon, Disney is not the Disney of the year. Both Eisner and Kasenberg did not value animation movies. They not only reorganized the animation department into a subsidiary of Disney Pictures two years ago. , Even the employees of the studio were sent to the abandoned warehouse in Glendale."

Simon has been paying close attention to the various developments in Hollywood on weekdays, and naturally understands the situation that Jonathan said.

Although before the rise of 3D animation, Disney launched many popular 2D animations such as "Beauty and the Beast" and "Aladdin" in the early 1990s, but in the first few years of Disney, Michael Eisner and Jeff Ray Kasenberg paid more attention to live-action movies, and there were even rumors that Disney planned to shut down the animation department completely.

"Joe, I know everything you said. I don’t plan to sell the script to Disney. If possible, I hope to invest in Daenerys Pictures and entrust Disney’s animation department to produce this project. Animation film production The cycle is very long. So, don’t consider the issue of the issue for the time being. You just need to negotiate with Disney according to this idea."

Jonathan frowned: "Simon, I don't understand."

Simon will definitely do more things that puzzle people around him in the future. He doesn’t want to waste his tongue every time. At this time, he just said: "Joe, this is actually a gift I want to give to Jenny. So, you Just contact Disney in my opinion."

Jonathan took a deep look at Simon, and didn’t ask any more, just laughed: "Well, who made you my most important customer. However, Simon, if you think it’s actually Pascal’s job .. I have contacted Disney and have already surpassed my position."

Simon spread his hands and said: "Amy is too busy. She will fly to New York tomorrow. The annual salary you get from me may be higher than Amy. Always do more."

Although Jonathan didn't think Amy's salary would be lower than himself, he nodded and agreed.

When the two discussed the matter, Simon said goodbye.

As usual, Neil Bennett drove to pick him up. Simon found Sandra from the crowd, took the girl to his SUV, and the car left Jonathan's house and drove eastward to West Hollywood.

It’s not too far from Cold Water Canyon to West Hollywood. More than ten minutes later, Chevrolet stopped outside an apartment building near Santa Monica Boulevard.

Looking at the black corridor at the entrance of the apartment building, Simon thought about it, and got off with Sandra.

The two had just stood by the roadside, and a clear click sounded not far away.

Simon looked at Sandra with his hands clasped behind his eyes, and smiled, "This is all right,'Simon Westero's new romance is exposed.'"

Sandra listened to the camera's shutter sound not far away, and someone fired the flash, but inexplicably happy.However, listening to Simon's indifferent tone of reading the headlines of the gossip tabloid, she realized that he didn't care about it at all.

He really doesn't care.

Suddenly dissatisfied again, he retorted: "Why not'Sandra Bullock's new romance exposure'?"

Simon shrugged and said, "Your fame is not as great as mine."

"Prideful," Sandra rolled her eyes, her toes rolled on the ground, hesitating for a while, she finally said: "Are you going to sit up?"

Simon looked up at the apartment building in front of him and said, "Your assistant, Gina, right? Didn't she live with you?"

Sandra's assistant Gina Kolos lives with her on weekdays.

However, after agreeing that Simon should send himself home, Sandra quickly sent Gina Klos away from the party and specifically told her not to return tonight.

Thinking of some of the thoughts in his heart at the time, Sandra felt a slight heat on her cheeks.

At this time, she lied calmly and said, "No, she has a boyfriend, and she goes out to live on the weekend."

Simon nodded: "Oh."

Sandra waited to see Simon did not move his footsteps, and also issued a single syllable: "Huh?"

Simon smiled and said, "I won't go up anymore, you know, I haven't sorted out things with Jenny."

"You, didn't you break up with her?"

Sandra said, she couldn't help looking at the cab of the roadside SUV, and she didn't even believe it.

Simon shook his head and said: "No, I just encountered a little twists and turns. It's always difficult for things like emotions to be smooth sailing."

Sandra flashed the loss in her eyes and suddenly raised her head again, saying, "Then, at the party, that woman, will you go to bed with her?"

Simon thought for a while and said, "Maybe, maybe not."

"Ok?"

"depend on mood."

Sandra opened her eyes wide, remembering some of the names Janet occasionally used, and couldn't help saying: "Jane is right, Simon, you really are a bastard."

Simon pretended to be anxious and said, "Will you never befriend me?"

Sandra learned the tone Simon had just said, "Look at the mood."

Simon smiled and said, "Go up, it's late."

Sandra didn't move, her hands were still behind her, and she dared to stare at Simon, saying, "You know I like you, right?"

"Yeah, so I can't go upstairs with you."

Sandra was somewhat reluctant and said, "Why?"

Simon looked at the girl in front of him and said, "Because we are good friends, Sandy, there are not many people I care about in this world. I already have Jenny, so I can't go further with you."

Sandra still stared at Simon, saying, "But you want to go to bed with, well, the woman you don't care?"

Simon nodded: "Yeah."

Sandra felt a little confused, so she retracted the hands behind her back and gestured indiscriminately, saying, "Then, aren't you afraid of Jenny knowing?"

Simon shook his head: "Not afraid."

Sandra asked again: "Why?"

Simon thought for a while and said, "Jenny and I, probably, are people with a special outlook on life. She doesn't care about these."

Sandra said dissatisfiedly: "How do you know she doesn't care, women care about it."

"I used to think so," Simon nodded and said, "However, after this breakup, I realized that she didn't care. Jenny is the kind of person who advocates absolute freedom. She thinks a person should do whatever he wants, Don’t do anything if you don’t want to.”

Sandra subconsciously said: "There is no such freedom in this world."

Simon smiled: "So, this is probably why Jenny likes me."

Sandra made a disdainful look, but waited for Simon to take the initiative to explain.

"The more people in this world stand at the top of the pyramid, the greater the freedom. Jenny thinks I will be the one standing at the top of the world pyramid," Simon explained, adding with a smile: "Actually, I think so."

Sandra gave Simon a white look and said, "I suddenly don't want to hear you bullshit."

Simon opened his arms: "So, good night."

Sandra looked at the handsome face of the man in front of him, thinking a little bit in his heart, God was really unfair.

It looks so handsome.

Still so talented.

Still so arrogant.

Not his own boyfriend.

It's abominable.

Then he was very angry.

So he stepped forward and suddenly wrapped his arms around the man's neck and kissed him directly.

Simon didn't expect that Sandra would react like this. He only had time to lower his head, or he was kissed by the girl on the cheek.

Listening to the hurried camera shutter sounds nearby again, in order to avoid Sandra's embarrassment, Simon just raised his hand to hold the girl's waist and exerted a little force, trying to push her away without a trace.

Sandra hugged Simon's neck tightly, adjusted the angle, and the soft lips kissed accurately.

After a bit of entanglement, at the end still biting on Simon's lips gently, Sandra released him, his face was flushed against the street lights, ignoring the paparazzi who had gathered around, and dropped a demonstrative complacent look, Turned around and fled into the corridor.
