Hollywood Hunter

Janet took it for granted: "I didn't want to give myself a Chinese name, I just suddenly felt that Janet was very suitable for this name."

The two women were originally standing on opposite sides of a long table filled with various things. As Janet said, smilingly, she turned to the still puzzled Jennifer and began to bite her ear with the female assistant.

Simon vaguely heard that Janet confessed that Jennifer should return to the United States in advance to watch him. Don’t stick to the woman and not be too tired. The tone of a wife who told the girl to pass the house was very entertaining.Jennifer still didn't know what was happening, but she just blushed when she heard Jennifer's advice, and she always felt something was wrong.

The phone rings on the coffee table.

Simon reached out and called, and Anthony Johnston called, and the lunch over the mansion was ready.

We will leave Melbourne in the afternoon, and everyone will definitely have a meal together.

Both women heard the conversation between Simon and Anthony, and Janet took advantage of Jennifer's arm and said, "I haven't invited you to be a guest at my house. It happened to be together."

Jennifer glanced at Simon and shook his head with a smile: "The two of you go, I will sort these out and wait for someone from the airport to pick up the luggage."

If it's just a working relationship, it might be okay to go to Johnston's house for lunch, but with her relationship with Simon, if you really go to dinner together, everyone will be uncomfortable.Jennifer doesn't want to embarrass Simon. Like Easter last month, she prefers to keep Simon a little guilty for herself.

Today’s Johnston mansion is more lively than Simon’s first time in Australia.

After that lunch, Veronica did not deliberately hide from Simon, and appeared the same today.Janet’s younger brother David Johnston happened to come back from the UK with his girlfriend in the morning. Coupled with Anthony Johnston and Norman Johnston, everyone took the long tables around the mansion restaurant.

What Simon hasn't seen so far is only Patrick, the youngest son of Raymond Johnston.

David Johnston is 26 years old this year, tall and thin like Raymond, wearing a pair of rimless glasses, and a gentle look. He is currently studying for a PhD in fluid mechanics at Cambridge University.David’s girlfriend is Leslie Whitaker. He is a schoolgirl in Cambridge. He is a brown-haired girl with a good appearance. He introduces himself and is still studying architecture design. He is a minor in art history. .

As Janet said at the beginning, David Johnston really has a nerd atmosphere.

At the table, when Simon asked about his professional research direction, David explained how to use the principles of fluid mechanics to measure the trajectory of the oil layer buried thousands of meters underground. A series of professional terms heard Raymond Johnston frowning. .

Because David brought his girlfriend back for the first time, everyone else pretended to listen to the face, but the old man didn't care, and quickly interrupted: "What is the use of learning these, there is no oil field at home for you to study."

David Johnston was obviously stunned by his father, and immediately heard the news dumbfounded.

The atmosphere in the restaurant became a bit awkward.

Janet leaned over, his eyes slanting towards David.

Simon understands that the old man is not satisfied with the girlfriend David brought back.

Although Raymond Johnston's attitude towards Simon has been very good since the first meeting, Simon has known the old man very early from the words of the children of Anthony and Janet and the performance in front of Raymond. Not a good person.

Noting the unnatural face of Leslie Wickett next to David, Simon realized that this was also a girl who was very observant.

Recalling that he caused this embarrassment, he took the initiative to alleviate: "Actually, the use of fluid mechanics is still very wide, and movie special effects can also be used. Through fluid simulation, we only need to use CG animation to achieve realistic flowing water flames, etc. Effect, so you can avoid a lot of expensive real shooting scenes."

Raymond looked around and eased his tone,

Simon naturally understood what Raymond was referring to, and nodded with a smile: "I will, and, Jenny is actually more suitable than me for operating the funds."

Raymond glanced at Janet and said, "I know her temperament better than you. No one will surely get into trouble if I look at it."

Janet, who was seriously cutting a piece of lamb chops, wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction, but did not talk back to her old man at this time.

After a few interruptions, the embarrassment just now was resolved and the atmosphere in the restaurant was revived.

Simon readily agreed to Norman Johnston's 8-year-old son Victor's request to send him a bat motorcycle, but just told him not to really cross the road, too dangerous.The father questioned a few questions, the little guy accidentally said that the old son of Anthony Brandon wanted it, but he was embarrassed to speak to Simon.

Anthony got married early, and according to Janet, his elder brother had to marry his son halfway through college. In these years, there were a total of one son and two daughters. Silvia, 16, and Chloe, 9, were both at this time, and Brandon, Simon's eldest son, has appeared several times these days, but has not come to lunch today.

At this point everyone understands why.

Raymond listened to the eldest son's "missing things", and inevitably caught the eldest son to reprimand a few words, but obviously not as serious as when he just interrupted David.

After lunch, he stayed in the mansion until four o'clock in the afternoon before Simon left, and Anthony and Janet drove Simon to Melbourne Airport in the western suburbs. A Boeing 767 was waiting on the runway.

In addition to Simon and Jennifer, the final crew of the crew who stayed in Melbourne will also return together this time, and the film's work in Australia is basically over.The staff of the Australian branch will settle the tax refund with the Victorian government. Simon, who is about 5 million US dollars, did not intend to withdraw to North America, but plans to invest directly in Australia, such as the Jackson movie.

Next to the airport runway, it was about to separate, and Janet clung to Simon and kept breaking her thoughts: "I will help you take care of Cersei Capital, and I will guarantee that I will not lose money. When I think of you, I will return. Los Angeles, you have to think about me often, if you can suddenly run to see me naturally better, girls are all like surprises..."

Simon embraced Janet listening patiently and nodded from time to time.

After a few minutes, Janet stopped and leaned over to put a sticker on Simon’s face. Simon thought she was about to let go, but listened to Janet suddenly bit his ear and whispered: "Is my aunt smelling good?" ?"

It's really biting my ears.

Simon suddenly heard Janet’s words and felt two rows of teeth rubbing on his earlobe, and his spine was a bit cold, worried that the woman would bite her ear off, so she nodded calmly and smiled, "Yeah, you don’t like it too ?"

Janet saw that Simon had no quibble, let go of his little white teeth, and still whispered in his ear: "Little bastard, you think I can't see it, the aunt is very uncomfortable in front of you, women are always very concerned about certain things. Sensitive, she doesn’t like you."

"This," Simon scratched a little on the woman's waist, trying to divert her attention, said: "I'm sorry."

"Hum hum," Janet twisted her waist a few times, unmoved, "I warned you a long time ago, little bastard. So, just smell it, and absolutely can't move other thoughts. ."

Simon felt cold sweat came out and shook his head: "I swear to God, absolutely not."

Janet still pinched Simon's waist unwillingly, and finally let him go, taking a step back, still smiling, as if the conversation just happened never happened, raising his hand and waving to her, saying: "Get on the plane Well, everyone is in a hurry."

Simon watched Janet back, stepped forward to recapture the woman, kissed, and Janet responded naturally.

The two were obsessed for a few more minutes and separated again. Janet's face turned red and thumped. Knowing that she could no longer delay, she pushed Simon towards the gangway and turned back to Anthony. The siblings stood by the runway together Watching Simon board the Boeing 767, the plane glides into the clouds.

In the lounge in the front cabin of the fuselage.

The plane was flying smoothly, and Jennifer, who was near the window, untied her seat belt and got up to come to Simon. He noticed the thin sweat beads on his forehead and worried: "Are you all right?"

Simon is still thinking about the matter just now.

He always thought that he and Veronica had covered up very well. Unexpectedly, Janet had already seen the difference. Fortunately, Janet just misunderstood.

Hearing Jennifer’s concern, Simon withdrew his mind, uncovered his seat belt, smiled and patted on his lap, and said to the female assistant: "Come."

Jennifer glared at him lightly, and when Simon stretched out his hand, he sat down, but his face was a little reddish, and his body was stiff, worried that someone might come over suddenly.Turning his head around, he finally found a topic that distracted himself and said, "Well, what does it mean to "impress people"?"

"A classic novel from the East, Xiren is a close-knit maid," Simon said as he lowered the partition in front of his seat. He took a pencil from the side and wrote two poems in line space in a blank space of a document , Said: "It's a name very artistically."

Jennifer waited for Simon to finish her writing and looked at it carefully. She didn't know these two poems, but she could appreciate the beauty of the Chinese font: "These words are so beautiful, how do you read them?"

"The flowers are breathtaking and the day warms, and the magpie screams through the trees to celebrate Xinqing," Simon slowly said aside, explaining: "This is a poem to write a scene. The small village on the outskirts just experienced a cold rain in early spring, and the poet early in the morning Waking up, the sky is bright, the sun has not yet risen. Walking in the countryside, the rich floral fragrance coming from the face means that the weather is about to warm up, and the magpie chirping between the treetops seems to be telling the poet happily that today will It's a sunny day."

Jennifer leaned on Simon, rubbing her fingers on the line of pencil characters, and said, "Can these fourteen words express so many meanings?"

Simon nodded: "Yeah, this is the characteristic of that country's classical culture."

"It seems that I have to take some time to learn some Chinese, otherwise I will not understand anything in front of you and Jenny."

"I teach you."

"Do you have the time?"

"Time is all squeezed out, now, let's start now."

"Ha ha."

The two chatted in a whisper. Jennifer finally adapted to her situation sitting on Simon's lap. The door of the lounge was forcibly forced. The female assistant suddenly got up and hid like a bunny.

It turned out that the flight attendant came to greet Simon, and eagerly asked him if he needed anything.

Simon felt the flight attendant's staring eyes, but just let the other party send a pot of coffee and sent her away.Just now, it was impossible to continue. Jennifer returned to his seat with a smile in his corner, but he did not respond to Simon's eye call and bowed his head to pretend to carefully organize the documents.

Simon had to open the document that had just been written by himself.

This is the release report from Ella Doiqiman. Doiqiman is still directly responsible to Simon. Whether it is the release of Highgate Pictures or the publicity of the award season just passed, Doiqiman will regularly Summarize the work report to Simon.

Today is April 29th, Saturday.

The third film released by Gaomen Films this year was released on April 22. Compared with the film, the release was very small. Doiqiman was only promoted in New York, where the audience of literary and artistic films is relatively large, and 35 films were arranged. Painting the screen.

Although the publicity points of this film have been tapped as much as possible, and it has also received unanimous praise from the media, the first week of the release, this literary film focusing on campus bullying has only recovered US$260,000 at the box office, and the average price per studio is only about US$7500.

Compared with some other box-office films, where small-scale screenings of US$60,000-70,000 were made at the box office, the small-scale distribution of 35 screens did not even reach the breaking point, so there was no need to increase the distribution scale of this film.

According to the current release rhythm, the film will probably get a million dollars at the box office. Compared with the production cost of 3 million dollars, it must be a loss.This will also be the second loss-making movie released by Daenerys Entertainment this year.

Ella Doichman analyzed in the report that the main reason for the failure is that the subject matter and the audience deviated too much. The main character of this film is high school students, and the target audience is also teenagers, but teenagers obviously do not like literary films.The college-viewing group that is relatively easy to accept literary and artistic films will not pay attention to this type of literary and artistic films.

It will eventually fail.

This film is a project left over by New World Entertainment. Doizman has done his best, and the box office failure is naturally not the responsibility of the distribution team.Deichman also concluded in the report that the company should try to avoid making this type of film in the future.
