Hollywood Hunter

Sandra's residence is located in the community of Byrd Street in Beverly Hills, close to the other high-end luxury residential area of ​​Trasdale Manor.

The Range Rover drove into a mansion of about one quarter of an acre. Simon had not yet got off the car, and Sandra, who wore a white dress with a mesh suspenders around her waist, ran out of the villa.

Simon looked at the various cars that were parked in the small yard and the silhouettes in the villa, hugged Sandra, and then received the gift from Neil Bennett and handed it to her, curious: " Why are there so many people?"

After Sandra and Simon hugged, they took his arm and let it go, and walked toward the villa with the gift box in one hand, saying: "I just wanted to celebrate quietly, but it started half a month ago. Someone keeps asking me about it, and asking if Simon Westero will attend. I can’t say no, I don’t have much face. Then it’s like this now.”

Simon said: "You said earlier, I lent you the house in Palisades."

Sandra refused with a smile: "Forget it, I can't afford the cost of your last birthday party."

It was already evening, and they walked into the villa while talking and laughing, and many of the guests who were talking or laughing pretended to be talking and laughing immediately looked over.

During this time, Daenerys film industry became more dazzling in Hollywood. Not only did the two summer films "Pulp Fiction" and "Instinct" were all successful, but they also successfully entered the TV market. "Who will become a million?" The viewing performance of "Millionaire" can be regarded as a shocking eyeball. Although there are some controversies, everyone knows that in this circle, except for the box office and the ratings, everything else is fake. You can make a big-selling movie. Able to produce popular TV programs, then, in the studio and TV network, you are God.

Simon rarely attended various party occasions during this time, so when Sandra's birthday came, many people saw this opportunity.

"Pulp Fiction" and "Instinct" once again won a bunch of people. In the eyes of Hollywood natives who always look forward to this opportunity, Simon is also a god who can let them go to the sky in one step.

Simon did not like this kind of entertainment occasions, but he was not disgusted. Sandra held her arm around the crowd unabashedly and went through the crowd. Like a male host, he spent more than half an hour entertaining. Delara went to a very private living room on the second floor.

This mansion is small in size, but the location is quite good. The south side happens to be a gentle slope. Sitting on the sun loungers on the second floor living room, you can see the Los Angeles downtown that has started to light up.

Sandra brought a glass of red wine and sat down on the edge of the lounge chair, watching Simon leisurely leaning on the lounge chair and flipping a magazine, handing over the red wine, and asked with a teasing smile: "Why didn't Jenny come together?" "

Simon took a sip of red wine and said, "Do you want her to come?"

Sandra leaned down with a smile, lying on Simon's chest and said: "So, are you staying tonight?"

From the kissing scandal, to the moment Simon Simon was held by Sandra in the crowd to entertain, in Hollywood, I am afraid that no one will feel innocent between the two.As a man, Simon will not resist this feeling, but he still has to think about it for everyone.The gossip is a gossip. If you stay tonight, the trouble will be a little bit troublesome.

Shaking his head, Simon imitated Janet's tone and said, "You must go home before twelve o'clock."

"It's so strict," Sandra showed a contemptuous expression on her face, smiled over the red wine in Simon's hands, and drank together. "So, throw her away, I can allow you two o'clock in the morning. The bell will go home again."

"Then you are not afraid that I will find another one that will allow me not to go home all night?"

Sandra frowned in distress. This was indeed a big problem. After a little thought, she quickly compromised and said, "Can you discuss it?"

"Women without a stand, I don't like it."

"Hum,

Simon's dignity in relation to men immediately became unwilling: "How is it possible, of course, I do whatever I want, to prove this, I decided to go back at eleven o'clock."

"Ha ha."

There were guests coming one after another. As the host, Sandra couldn't leave for too long. The two stayed on the second floor for a while and then quickly went down.

When the guests saw the two coming down from the upstairs together, they all looked like nothing had happened, but their eyes were more or less ambiguous, and some female guests' expressions were a little disappointed.

This is less than half an hour.

As night fell, the party officially began.

This party is naturally not as grand as Simon’s birthday party at the beginning of the year, but there are definitely a lot of Hollywood headliners present. The WMA executives and the big guys of several major film companies all appeared on the scene, although many people just showed up. Simple and greeted everyone and left again, but this is enough to make many small stars on the scene envious.

However, even Sandra himself knew that these people came mainly to Simon.

Like Terry Semel’s intentions in the afternoon, Hollywood knows that Daenerys Pictures is looking for new film projects recently. The senior executives of major film companies and the independent Hollywood producers who have many projects in their hands want to and Simon Contact, but it is not easy to find too legitimate excuses like Terry Semel.Because Simon was too busy this time, he rarely attended public places, so he seized the opportunity of Sandra's birthday.

"Nancy is a trader in the Chicago Commodity Futures Market, but her performance is lackluster, and she will even be laid off by the company soon. In this situation, she meets the devil Nike, who has the ability to predict and can clearly Foreseeing the future. Nancy, desperate for success, made a deal with Naike, and she exchanged intelligence from Naike at the expense of her soul..."

On the lawn in the backyard, Simon patiently listened to the script introduced by a producer recommended by Jonathan George Klan and smiled: "George, this is a very interesting idea, but the futures trader sets this distance. Ordinary people are a little far away."

George Klein was suddenly cheerful, and immediately said: "This is indeed a problem. If you need it, Simon, we can change into a stock trader."

Simon does not plan to perfunctory with the other party again. This kind of setting for dealing with the devil is difficult to take new tricks. The final result is nothing more than the heroine's repentance, giving up the devil's conditions or passing the devil's test, and then the lover ends Like dependents: "So, George, you can send someone a script to Daenerys Pictures tomorrow. If I feel good after watching it, I will contact you again."

When George Klein heard Simon's words, he knew that there was not much to expect, and nodded, and walked away with interest.

Jonathan looked at George Klann's leaving and said to Simon: "I like this idea very much, Simon, don't you think it's okay?"

Simon shook his head frankly and said, "The story is too old-fashioned, and I don't see anything that shines."

"Hollywood is never short of creative scripts, but everyone has always been more inclined to add something to the already proven successful ideas, which is more safe," Jonathan said, glancing at Sandra next to Simon, He smiled and said, "Speaking of which, the "A Fish Called Wanda" you introduced to Sandy is really surprising. It is expected that only North America will get a $60 million box office. Sandra owes 10% 'S omni-channel profit sharing contract, this reward has made her the highest-paid actress in Hollywood this year."

Simon shrugged and said, "I was also a little surprised. At first, I just thought this script was very interesting."

With a smile on Jonathan's face, he was not surprised at all. He even heard the idea of ​​just dealing with the devil. He even felt that Simon was a bit like the devil who could predict the future in the script just now.It’s not just Hollywood. He made more than a billion dollars in the stock index futures market in just a few months last year. It’s like the result of a deal with the devil.

With this in mind, Jonathan would naturally not say it. Although he is not an atheist, he also feels that his ideas are somewhat nonsense.

Sandra waited for Jonathan to walk away, but he didn't hide his thoughts. He touched Simon's arm and touched it. He lowered his voice and came over and asked, "Well, did you also deal with the devil?"

Simon nodded mysteriously, and looked around deliberately, saying, "It's actually an angel, two years ago, I met in a mental hospital."

Sandra's face was exaggerated and surprised: "Introduce me to chant."

Simon regretted: "He has returned to God."

The two whispered in a low voice, and a tall girl in a black evening dress came over, but it was Nicole Kidman.

"Simon, Sandy, what are you talking about?"

Sandra and Nicole greeted each other with great care: "Simon said he has seen God."

Nicole froze for a moment, and said, "This is very interesting."

Simon was very helpless. He lived well. How could he have seen God, so he ignored Sandra's words and asked Nicole: "How is George's "Flying Horizon" prepared?"

"It's still winter in Australia. It's probably not until September to start shooting," Nicole said, looking at Simon with eyes in his eyes, and said, "I heard that you plan to shoot "Batman" in Australia."

"Yeah," Simon also did not deny, said: "It is also the reason for the season, the shooting is just right there."

Nicole didn't hide it, and said, "Speaking of it, Simon, is there really no role for me, even a small supporting character?"

Simon shook his head regretfully and smiled, "I don't want to waste your film on a small supporting role."

"Then it's not counted in the contract," Nicole was very cheerful and complimented: "After all, who would refuse Simon Westero's invitation."

So entertaining, the night time passed by unconsciously.After ten o'clock, there were customers who began to leave one after another. Near eleven o'clock, the whole mansion was almost empty.

Although there were a lot of guests tonight, Sandra, who was obviously inexperienced, did not hire a party company. Simon and Sandra sent away the last wave of guests together. Only Sandra’s assistant Gina was tidying up the dishes, so Tao: "Will you call someone to watch?"

"Let's talk tomorrow," Sandra said, sending Gina to rest, pulling Simon down on the living room sofa and saying, "So, you really don't plan to stay tonight?"

"You don't want to get on the gossip headlines tomorrow morning?"

"Oh, if I can grab Simon Westero, I don't mind."

Simon smiled at Yaoyao's head and leaned over to ask the woman forehead and then say goodbye, but Sandra wrapped her neck around her and kissed her lips.

The two contracted on the sofa for a while, and Simon got up and left.He didn't really care about the gossip, but he had to estimate Janet's feelings.

The next day was Wednesday. Although Simon did not stay at Sandra's house, some details of the party were rendered by gossip tabloids last night. Fortunately, it did not cause much disturbance.

Youngsters became famous, young and rich, and gossip came out from time to time. Simon has never been an image of a house-keeping good man in the media. Various scandals are normal for many people.

Today I made an appointment to watch the rough cut samples of "Rainman", Simon arrived at the company early in the morning, and "Rainman" director Barry Levinson also arrived on time at nine o'clock.

During the shooting process, Simon kept recording some editing points based on the samples he saw. After the beginning of the work, he also specifically asked Jenny to send his 17-page memo to Barry Levinson.

However, during this time, Simon found that Barry Levinson did not edit according to his memo, and even heard the rumor that Barry Levinson was very dissatisfied with Simon's involvement in the later stage of the film.

Since it was the original version, Simon wasn’t too worried. However, for three and a half hours of rough cut samples, Simon only saw less than an hour, and found that many of the original shots in the memory had disappeared. This rough cut version, It is impossible to cut out the original effect anyway.

In the viewing room, Simon turned off the projector himself and looked at Barry Levinson next to him: "Barry, I need an explanation."

Barry Levinson's tone is very relaxed: "Simon, I think this is good, is there any problem?"

"I remember I mentioned it in the memo, such as the scene of the dispute between Cruz and Valerie, I specifically asked to keep it."

Barry Levinson said: "But, this is my movie, Simon."

Simon sensed Barry Levinson’s sudden anger and said: "Accurately, this is a film invested by Daenerys. Barry, I respect your work, but this does not mean that you can Do whatever you want, screw up this project."

Barry Levinson showed obvious dissatisfaction on his face: "Simon, do you mean that as long as you don't edit as you wish, will this project mess up?"
