Hollywood Hunter

The two sat opposite each other on the sofa in the corner of the hall. Michael Owitz didn't speak for a while, with obvious unwillingness in his expression.

Simon didn't rush, looking casually at the crowd, feeling the melodious sound of strings floating across the dance floor.

A tall blond woman in a white shoulder gown noticed the silence between Simon and Ovitz and thought about it, tentatively approached and greeted Simon: "Hi, Mr. Westeros."

This woman is really tall and wears high heels to break through 1.90 meters.

Simon raised his head and smiled at the woman, saying, "Hi, Miss Hall."

There was a surprised expression on the woman's face, mixed with just the right joy: "Mister Westeros, do you know me?"

"Mick's girlfriend, Jerry Hall, right?" With some inexplicable smile on Simon's face, he patted on the side and said, "Did Mick come over tonight?"

"He's in England," Jerry Hall responded casually, sat down beside Simon, politely nodded to Owitz, and turned his attention to Simon again, and found a topic: "Weiss Mr. Trow, I heard that the late stage is about to be completed?"

"Yeah, otherwise, just call me Simon."

Simon nodded and remembered that Jerry Hall played the wife of the gangster who was disfigured by the clown in the first part of the Keaton version. It felt very interesting.At the same time, I have to say that this woman who can trap the romantic Rolling Stones creator Mick Jagger for many years is really beautiful. At this time, her appearance in her early thirties is at the peak of her face.

"It's really an honor, Simon," Jerry Hall changed the situation and moved closer without a trace. "You can also call me Jerry."

A small mouse with big ears appeared in Simon's head and smiled: "Sounds like the boy's name."

"No way, we have five sisters in our family, and Dad wants to be crazy about boys."

"Has his wish come true?"

"No."

Simon showed a sympathetic expression.

Talking and laughing, noting that Ovitz was impatient, Simon raised a toast to Jerry Hall and said, "Jerry, I have something to talk to Mr. Ovitz."

Jerry Hall took a business card out of the Kun bag and handed it over generously, saying: "I will be in Los Angeles and Simon these days, maybe I can take time to drink coffee together."

Simon took the woman's business card and nodded, "Okay."

Jerry Hall saw that Simon didn't mean to leave a business card for him, got up happily, and nodded again to Owitz.

Michael Owitz ignored the woman who had just left and watched the young man indifferently put that business card in his shirt pocket, and finally said: "Simon, Barry, all four of them turned to A, and the unpleasantness that everyone used to have ended. ,what do you think?"

Simon guessed many of Ovitz's countermeasures, but did not expect that he would propose such a solution.

However, letting Barry Levinson and others all switch to A seems to be the best way to resolve the grievances of both parties. The close relationship between Simon and A is well known.By doing this, Owitz can also maintain his clients' business to the greatest extent.

However, Simon didn't mean to nod and said, "Michael, I'm actually not a very vengeful person. I won't send someone with a baseball bat to force the opponent into the alley for a few words. You want Understand that with the resources I have now, if I want to target a person, his ending will definitely not be too good. But, I am also not a forgiving person. Those guys who provoke me, I ask, but they don’t Reappear in my vision."

"Simon, Barry, they didn't appear before your eyes every day."

"Michael, you should understand what I mean. Now most of Hollywood is in my view. Of course, there are still some corners left. I don't plan to look at it again. It's too perfect. So, they can stay there.

Michael Ovitz remembered Paramount.

If the youth in front of them is willing to give up the suspicion that the two scripts were robbed, Paramount certainly does not mind turning to Daenerys for entertainment.

There may be MGM, and even the declining Orion, but he obviously did not intend to do so.

Just not to pursue perfection.

In the past few contacts, Michael Ovitz can roughly realize that Simon is a person with a perfectionist tendency.Now, when a perfectionist is no longer pursuing perfection, it does not necessarily mean that this person starts to be attentive or depraved, he may become stronger.

After all, there has never been anything perfect in this world.

After being silent again for a moment, Owitz finally said in a bit decadent: "Simon, Barry, they left AA, can those things be done?"

Simon nodded: "AA has many excellent filmmakers, and I actually look forward to working with you."

Now that the decision has been made, Owitz will no longer drag on the mud and say, "In this case, you must also ensure that A no longer digs people from AA."

"I can't promise you this kind of thing, Michael, I'm just closer to Jonathan, A is not my company, this is competition between your talent agency companies."

It is actually beneficial for Simon to maintain the competition between the major talent agencies, and he certainly cannot limit this.

Michael Ovitz also realized what was happening. He stopped talking and got up and reached out to Simon. The two shook hands and reached a certain tacit agreement.Leaving the party hall, Owitz sat in the car waiting outside the Four Seasons Hotel and dialed the numbers of Barry Levinson directly through the car phone.

Simon does not know how Owitz communicated with Barry Levinson, but the next day, Hollywood spread Barry Levinson, Dustin Hoffman, Tom Cruise and Meg ·The news that Ryan's four first-line filmmakers are about to leave AA.

Things were quickly confirmed by the AA.

However, the official caliber of the outside world is that the four of Barry Levinson chose to leave the AA for their own career development.

Subsequently, Barry Levinson soon revealed his new project in cooperation with Paramount Pictures with a budget cost of 5 million US dollars and plans to release it next year.

Dustin Hoffman expressed his intention to take a rest for a year and rush to the UK to appear in a stage play.There was also news in the circle that Huffman's scene in the new film by Warren Beatty and Disney has been completely deleted.

Tom Cruise's agent Paula Wagner withdrew from the AA with her client and announced the establishment of the Cruz-Wagner production company in the form of an announcement.

Meg Ryan had just become popular last year and was the shallowest of the four.

After the incident, Meg Ryan’s public relations manager immediately announced his resignation, and Hollywood’s talent agencies, big and small, did not intend to extend an olive branch to him. The actress had to hurriedly announce that it would be temporarily her after a while. 'S sister serves as its agent and public relations spokesperson.

Immediately, a paparazzi discovered that Meg Ryan had been dating her boyfriend Denis Quaid for more than a year and another unknown actress appeared in a close manner in a bar in West Hollywood. When faced with the paparazzi, Dennis Quaid admitted Has recently broken up with Meg Ryan.

Compared with the Michael Ovits'Infantry Warrior' incident that is still being hit by the media, Barry Levinson left the AA. The major mainstream newspapers in North America showed an abnormal silence that appeared on the page. These are just some official bulletins that are painless and itchy.

Most members of the public who are not sensitive to gossip, only to think that these people may have chosen to leave because they were dissatisfied with Ovitz, who was recently criticized by the media.

Of course, there are never lack of tabloids in the circle that want to hype big news to attract attention, but these newspapers usually have a very low degree of attention, and they dare not pick out the inside story of the matter blatantly, just hint a few words .

Speaking carefully, the tabloids actually understand what kind of people can provoke what kind of people can't.

If Simon Westero is just a director, there is no problem with hype.

Public figures are used for speculation.

However, when the director was still a super billionaire with a multi-billion dollar net worth in Hollywood, in order to prevent the defendant from going bankrupt, various gossip newspapers dared not be too blatant.

As for Hollywood, even the celebrities with big mouths in the past have remained silent in the face of media questions about Barry Levinson and others leaving the AA incident.

Simon Westero was almost an understatement this time, but it really made many people realize that after the studio era, another truly powerful Hollywood character was born.

In recent years, the senior executives of various studios faced the first-line Hollywood stars. In order to be able to attract each other to appear in their own films, they basically maintained a flattering attitude, even the big guys like Steve Rose tried to find ways to try their best. Good Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, Barbara Streisand and others.

Now, Simon Westeros not only did not lower his posture to actively make friends with the stars, but instead shot down some of the hottest Hollywood first-line big shots in the cloud.

Everyone can see that as long as Simon Westero is not relieved, even Barry Levinson, Dustin Hoffman, Tom Cruise and Meg Ryan can still rely on their previous fame Misplaced in Hollywood, but lost all the resources that were once easily available, these people's career is destined to decline all the way.

Several parties accepted the reality in disgrace, did not openly challenge Simon Westero, and also understood their situation.

In the final analysis, Simon Westero did not do anything after all. At this time, if he jumped out and provoked, it would be tantamount to having trouble with himself.In the days that followed, I saw a young man who seemed to be always indifferent and modest, and seemed to have no hint of aggression. Even some accustomed stars could not help but feel a little awe.

Things are always coming one after another.

The circle is still talking about the inside story of Barry Levinson and others leaving AA. The release of the new Forbes North America 400 rich list suddenly triggered another storm of public opinion.
