Hollywood Hunter

Chapter 164 Opening Ceremony

Simon brought Janet to George Miller, and the Australian director happened to be chatting with Nicole Kidman.

After greeting, Simon provoked the topic and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Nicole Kidman, dressed in a moon-white evening dress, said: "George thinks that my performance in "Pulp Fiction" is excellent, and I hope I can participate in a movie he is preparing."

With that said, Nicole Kidman looked at Simon with a smile, seeming to see how he would react.

According to the general practice in Hollywood, production companies usually require newcomers to participate in their films to sign multiple film contracts, so that the actors can continue to enjoy the dividends after becoming famous.

In the "When Harry Meets Sally" project, Meg Ryan signed another option contract with Daenerys on the basis of the role of "Sally".Now that "When Harry Meets Sally" is selling at the box office, Meg Ryan's next movie is about to have priority unless Daenerys Pictures takes the initiative to let it go.

"Pulp Fiction" is naturally the case. Although the project belongs to Orion, the two newcomers in the film, Samuel Jackson and Nicole Kidman, signed three film contracts with Daenerys.

The same is true for the five films selected by the actor Batney recently, but the number of films required by this contract is longer and the period is longer.After the blockbuster era, Hollywood has rarely seen this kind of contract as a contract of sale, so it will be ridiculed by the media as a'slavery contract'.

Noting the smile on Nicole Kidman's lips, Simon just glanced at her and asked Miller: "George, your next movie, can you talk about it? I like "East Town Witch" very much Yes, but I look forward to you shooting the fourth part of Crazy Max."

"Simon, you may be mistaken. I have no plans for the next movie. I just want to invite Nicole to participate in a thriller that my production company intends to shoot. I am only the producer." George Miller Explained, and then said: "This is a novel based on a novel called "Across the Horizon", which describes a couple who accidentally rescued a stranger during the process of trauma by drifting at sea after the accidental loss of their child. story."

After George Miller finished, Simon immediately thought of the movie. In the original space and time, "Across the Horizon" happened to be the famous work of Nicole Kidman breaking into Hollywood.

Simon just didn't expect that the producer of this movie would be George Miller.However, this did not surprise him at all.The two protagonists of "Across the Horizon", Sam Neal and Nicole Kidman, are all Australians.

In the final analysis, it was the Australian gang.

Although Simone did not feel that Nicole Kidman, who was only 20 years old and too strong, could play the role of a young mother with a traumatized heart, he did not point this out to George Miller. 'S friendship has not yet reached this level.

And, if George Miller really decides to do this, Simon will also be a favor.

Nicole Kidman cannot always be regarded as a box office star. Anyway, the three contracts are there. Letting her hone in some films is not harmful to Daenerys.

Everyone chatted for a while, Simon was about to leave, George Miller, who had never mentioned the Cannes Film Festival in his words, suddenly said: "Simon, you have to say that your "Pulp Fiction" is really excellent. For the first time, I discovered that the movie could still be made so wildly."

Simon listened to George Miller's blunt statement and froze a little, noticing the shrewdness in the eyes of this handsome middle-aged man, he smiled casually and nodded: "George, I am very Glad you can like this movie."

Although Simon is only interested in Golden Palm, he has no worries that "Pulp Fiction" will return empty-handed after getting the two judges.

After all, Orion will certainly not be indifferent,

Simon also did not feel guilty about his public relations behavior. If there is an opportunity, if you don’t fight for it, the award can only be attributed to others.

Like the "Pulp Fiction" in the original time and space, who dare to say that it was not won.

Just as Quentin was the chairman of the jury, Michael Moore's documentary "Fahrenheit 911" won the Palme d'Or. The general trend in the media is that the French want to block the Bush administration. Actually?

The award selection is in the hands of the judges. The film festival organizers dare to intervene and say, "Let’s add some plugs to George W. Bush."

What is the reason?

It's very simple.

"Fahrenheit 911" was invested and produced by Miramax. As we all know, Weinstein and Quentin are simply good buddies.Then, "Fahrenheit 911" won the Golden Palm. This 6 million-dollar documentary sold more than 200 million dollars at the box office worldwide, and the Weinstein brothers made a fly.

This is the inside story.

In the final analysis, the Cannes Film Festival is a commercial film celebration after all, not as sacred as some people think.

Through this event, millions of tourists from all over the world flock to this small French coastal city every year. This is the root of the Cannes Film Festival. As for the award results, it is not so important for the organizers. .Even, the more controversial selection results can increase the popularity of the Cannes Film Festival in a certain angle.

Separated from George Miller, Simon was about to greet some acquaintances at the party, and Jennifer came together and said, "The boss, Natasha Kinsky has also come. Are you going to talk to her in the past?" ?"

Natasha Kinsky, the 14-year-old European actress who began her relationship with Roman Polanski and was popular with each other, is also one of the judges of this year's Cannes Film Festival.

Of the ten judges this time, Simon was able to contact only William Goldman and George Miller. Although they knew each other, they had not met each other, and the surrounding network could not reach each other. .

Simon led Janet under the direction of Jennifer to a couple, and the female assistant whispered into his ear again: "The man is the husband of Jinsky, Ibrahim Musa."

Simon nodded, and after the couple had greeted another guest, they stepped forward and reached out to Natasha Kinsky: "Hello, Ms. Kinsky."

Natasha Kinsky was wearing a somewhat conservative round-neck long-sleeved dress tonight. He heard Simon's greeting, but he looked at him with a confused expression. He didn't take Simon's hand, but just swayed it. 'S fingers stumbled: "You, um, you are, oh, I remember, you are Simon Westero, what does'Westero' mean?"

Simon didn't expect this beautiful brown-haired girl to respond this way, and even wondered if she was too high.

Withdrawing his hand quietly, Simon smiled: "'Westero' is my last name for myself, nothing else."

"Oh, are you stupid of me?" Natasha Kinsky said, but her eyes swam to Janet next to Simon, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Esmeralda, I was a few days ago I've seen you in the movie, and your performance is amazing."

Natasha Kinsky said that she was still very familiar and snatched Janet directly from Simon’s hands. The good sisters generally walked hand in hand to other places. Janet hit Simon. With a wink, he chatted away with Natasha Kinsky with a smile.

Simon was even more puzzled what happened.

In the memory of this controversial glamorous actress, she doesn't seem to have a lily tendency except for old men?

When Natasha Kinsky's husband saw his wife, she left her and walked away. Her expression was obviously not good-looking. She simply greeted Simon and turned away.

Simon looked around, just shrugged, and walked over to the crew of "When Harry Meets Sally".

"When Harry Meets Sally" also arranged the screening of the Cannes Film Festival this time. Of course, because overseas copyrights have been sold to Disney, this is naturally also Disney's operation.

At more than ten o'clock, Simon planned to leave, searching for a circle at the party and found no figure of Janet, and Jennifer did not know where she went.

Just anxious, Robert Redford told Simon that he saw Janet and another woman leave the banquet hall early half an hour ago.

Simon went out to the party and found Neil Bennett waiting outside, only to learn that Janet had returned to the hilltop estate in Le Cannet.

Returning to the residence with Jennifer, in the brightly lit villa, Simon found the third floor terrace all the way, and found that not only Janet, Natasha Jinsky was also there, the two were shrinking on the lounge chairs on the third floor terrace holding red wine Drink and talk.

Seeing Simon appear, Janet sat up and greeted him. Natasha Kinsky still nodded slightly to Simon, not very cold.

Simon walked to Janet's recliner and sat down next to the woman, glancing at Natasha Kinsky. The woman had already returned the conservative dress. At this time, she was wearing a thin pink silk nightdress and found two The long legs are mad, and the clothes are obviously Janet's.

Reaching around Janet's waist, Simon leaned into the woman's ear and whispered, "What's going on?"

As soon as Simon's words were spoken, Natasha Kinsky on the other side said, "Mr. Westeros, my ears are very smart."

Simon simply looked over and said, "Then will you explain it to me?"

Natasha shook the red wine in her hand casually: "I have a good conversation with Jenny and plan to stay here for one night."

Simon smiled and said: "But you have to understand, Miss Kinsky, our men are in charge."

"Coincidentally, so is our house," Natasha Kinsky glanced at Simon and said, "So I can't stand it anymore. Are you going to let Jenny run away from home?"

Seeing Janet smile at herself, Simon reached out and squeezed her hand on the woman's chin, saying, "Our family is very good and will not run away from the house. It's you, does your husband know? I don't want him to call the police Get into trouble."

Natasha Kinsky changed her posture and lay lazily on the recliner: "I'll let someone talk to him, I won't go back tonight."

"So," Simon said helplessly: "It's too late, I'll let someone arrange the room for you."

Natasha Kinsky lifted her glass towards the master bedroom: "This is not bad, I sleep with Jenny."

Simon pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "What shall I do?"

Natasha Kinsky gave Simon a look: "You can come together too, but if you dare to touch me, I will bite you down."

The woman's tone was faint, but Simon felt a cold back and immediately retreated. He got up and said, "Well, then you go to bed early."

With Janet's gloating laugh, Simon left the terrace.

Although it still felt weird, it was very late. Simon changed to another bedroom and soon fell asleep.

The jet lag was still a bit messy, but after less than six hours of rest, Simon woke up again and the time was just over five o'clock.It's summer, and although it's still just over five o'clock, the sky is already bright outdoors.Simon's changed bedroom is still on the third floor, also with a spacious terrace.

After washing up, Simon dressed and came to the terrace. He looked at the cannes town with white buildings at the foot of the mountain and the beauty of the golden rippled bay. He stretched his body at will, and a slight noise came from the other side of the terrace.

The figure of Miao Man, wearing only one pair of underpants all over the body, lazily walked out of the bedroom and looked at the distance in a lonely look on the railing. After a moment, he noticed Simon on the other side. The woman neither screamed nor panicked. , Turned around calmly, and drifted into the bedroom again.

Simon couldn't help but touch his nose.

This is really, weird.

After breakfast, Ken Dixon was dispatched to drive away Natasha Jinsky, and Janet explained to Simon that Natasha Jinsky was having trouble with her husband. The Egyptian businessman always wanted to let Jinsky Xiying, after several years of sawing, the actress gave birth to a child last year, barely agreeing, but only a few months later, she once again accepted the work of the judges of the Cannes Film Festival and announced the effort, the two parties inevitably Start a dispute.

Simon didn't care about other people's housework. Janet explained that he still got some things done, so he left it behind.

The opening ceremony was held at seven o'clock in the afternoon, but before that, the organizer also arranged a photo shooting event for the shortlisted masters. Simon was busy for this morning, and briefly rested for a few hours in the afternoon. The crew of "Pulp Fiction" At about 6:30, everyone departed from the hotel Orion booked and drove to the Cannes Film Palace on the beachfront.
