Hollywood Hunter

Chapter 484 Beginning

The sudden Victoria's secret lingerie show plan made the fashion circle very lively.

For Simon, this can only be a small hobby after work.

On May 6, after three and a half months of shooting, "Jurassic Park" was officially killed, and it was transferred back to Los Angeles in the next few days to start the later stage.

Although the film was directed by Spielberg, Simon hurried to Hawaii to follow up for a few days in the week before the killing.

After the shooting was completed, the project team quickly returned to Los Angeles and immediately invested in intense post-production.

In addition to "Jurassic Park", two other key projects at the end of 1992, the Halloween midnight "Bell of Midnight" and the Thanksgiving phase "Little Alone 2" have also entered the post-production stage.

Malibu, Daenerys Studios.

The time is already Wednesday, May 13.

Simon spent the morning in the late Jurassic Park with Spielberg, had lunch, and started three consecutive production meetings at 1pm, namely "Forrest Gump" and "Winter Night in Seattle" "Sleep" and "Superman".

The preparations for the three films are different.

In Forrest Gump, Robert Zemigis and Tom Hanks have just agreed to participate in this project, and the company is still discussing salary issues with the two.

In addition to Meg Ryan, "Sleepless in Seattle" will also have Tom Hanks to participate, and the Hanks schedule has become a matter of focus for the two project teams.

The final "Superman" is already ready.

Prior to Easter, Daenerys Entertainment officially announced the main creations of "Superman" and "Steel Bone".

The director of "Superman" Roland Emery was Simon who had been determined for a long time, the actor was handed over to Brad Pitt, as for the heroine Louise Ryan, several times in Courtney Cox At the request, Simon finally gave the heroine to the other party.

Participating in the superhero series can gain a lot of popularity, but at the same time it will also greatly limit the future development of actors.

Simon’s career doesn’t matter because the careers of people like Brad Pitt or Will Smith have changed.

As an old acquaintance who met in the early days of Hollywood, even though he did not accumulate too much affection at the time, Simon actually hoped that Courtenay would have a better development. At that time, she specifically mentioned her and had an agent like Jonathan and In the popularity of the "Scream" series, Courtney does not lack further resources and contacts.

However, Courtene couldn't bear it.

In this case, Simon handed over the large vase of the "Superman" series by Louise Lane.In fact, Courtney's image is indeed very consistent with Louise Lane's settings.

All in all, the heroine of the series "Steel Bone" is also an acquaintance named Halle Berry.

The black beauty actress who debuted a few years ago debuted in the past, and has participated in films such as Spike Lee's "The Jungle Fever" and Bruce Willis's "Last Boy Scout" that failed at the box office last year. The heroine of Eddie Murphy's new film "Stolen Mood" which will be released this summer.

The final "Superman" production meeting ended at six o'clock in the afternoon.

Roland Emmerich, who left the conference room with Simon, noticed that Courteney Cox came to Simon and ended the conversation with interest, turning to Brad Pitt and others to leave quickly.

Glancing at the others who walked away, Courtenay was somewhat restrained and faced Simon, asking, "Simon, are there any plans for the evening?"

This is the third floor of the first building in the Studio City. Emeryridge and others have just squeezed into the elevator. Simon did not wait for another one, but took Courtenay to the stairs and said: "Yes, wait I have dinner with people, and then I will attend a side party at the premiere of "The Deadly Weapons 3"."

"Fatal Weapon 3" will be released the day after tomorrow, and today will hold its premiere.

Daenerys Entertainment and Time Warner Group still have a competitive relationship. Simon did not mean to participate in the "Lethal Weapons 3" premiere, but accepted Mel Gibson's invitation to the after-show premiere party.

The main reason is that many Australian filmmakers will attend the entertainment party.

Prior to this, at 7 o'clock, he had dinner with Leslie Wexner and his fiancee who came to Los Angeles to discuss the Victoria's Secret show.

Courtena paused and heard nothing.

It was still a working day. The man beside him participated in two social entertainments one night. I can imagine how busy he is on weekdays.

Moreover, in a few years, the gap between the two has become larger and larger, and now it is a world apart.

If he is interested in himself, he can already show it.She herself probably couldn't think of any reason to refuse.

Seeing that Courtena was silent, Simon took the initiative and said, "How about you, how are you doing?"

"Not bad."

Subconsciously responded in this way, but Courtena couldn't help but think of her present situation.

In terms of career, compared to many actresses in Hollywood who haven't been able to show up for many years, her luck is good enough.

However, many things are afraid of contrast.

The same is the actress under Jonathan Friedman. The two are not about the same age and have similar starting points. However, in these years, Sandra Bullock has left her far behind.

From the initial "Roller Run" to the later "Back to the Future" two sequels to last year's "Lamb of Silence" and the upcoming "Moment of Kill" and so on, six years, a series of blockbuster films, made Sand La Brock has completely stabilized the position of the first-generation actress of the new generation.

What about her?

In the past few years, the most famous one is only "Scream". Although this series made her a household name, it seems to be similar to the first line in fame, but fundamentally, she has not been able to get rid of the positioning of teenage actresses and vases.

How to distinguish between stars and vases?

It's actually very simple, just look at whether a star has enough box office appeal.

Sandra Bullock belongs to the type that already has a strong box office appeal. However, Courtena is very clear that after the "Scream" series is over, she still has difficulty in supporting a movie alone. Box office.

Courteney actually knew that Simon's suggestion that she patiently participate in some different types of films and polish her qualifications to get rid of the vase label was kind and correct.

However, she also has her own concerns.

The distance between her and the man beside him is getting farther and farther. Who knows she has been patient for a few years, and will he remember him by then?

Therefore, taking advantage of some connections, including Jonathan Friedman, who looked at Simon’s face when she met her, took care of her, and held as much as possible in her hand. Is the most important.

In the end there are not too many topics, just casually chatting some non-nutritive gossip, and unconsciously came to the downstairs.

The black Bentley luxury car is already waiting in front of the building, and Courtney is looking forward to Simon's invitation to her before getting in the car: whether to send you home or whatever, just about anything.

The result is everything.

Bye bye, watching his car leave, she could only turn to the parking lot to pick up her car.

Dinner is arranged directly at Dumei Point Estate.

Although no party will be held in the shell villa, but invite some people to eat at home, even if it is still somewhat reluctant in the heart, Simon knows that this is a necessary gift.

A few days ago in Columbus, Ohio, Leslie Wexner was very enthusiastic about their couple.

After sending away the little guy in early March, it took two months to re-examine the huge industry of the Westeros system, and Janet resumed the work rhythm before pregnancy. There were only two or three days a week. On the east coast, I haven't even been to New York in the past week.

Simon returned home and was immediately taken to the cloakroom to take care of his costume.

He tossed his man with great enjoyment. After going downstairs, the time was near seven o'clock.

Just to go to the kitchen to check the chef's preparation for dinner, A girl Alison came over to remind that the couple left the villa together to pick up.

Leslie Wexner is 55 years old, but this wealthy businessman was not officially engaged until the beginning of this year. His fiancee's name is Abigail Koper, a typical French-born blonde, this year three At around ten years old, he is a lawyer.

Everyone greeted to enter the Shell Villa, even though there is a large manor with an area of ​​more than 300 acres in Columbus, Leslie Wexner looked at the villa in which he was envious.

Also at a very young age, he began to lay a huge foundation. Leslie Wexner would never treat himself badly in life, but even according to Cersei Capital’s purchase price of 2.45 billion US dollars for LTD, plus him these In other investments of the year, his personal worth was less than 1 billion US dollars.

Such a wealth is definitely at the top of the pyramid in the United States. However, in front of Westeros, he is still just a'poor man'.

The rich are also divided into classes.

Outside of Columbus, Ohio, Leslie Wexner also owns his own mansion in Manhattan and a vacation villa in Miami, Florida, and the property Westeros can buy, he seems to be able to afford it. However, the differences can still be easily discovered.

The simplest item, the top super rich in the United States, basically owns private jets, but only Simon Westero can easily use the Boeing 767 as his own car.

Of course, many people can afford the Boeing 767. However, it is often the same thing that is affordable and affordable.

Simon Westero can spend tens of millions to build a dedicated hangar at Los Angeles International Airport for easy docking, but other billionaires cannot throw away tens of millions of dollars lightly.

And Columbus Manor.

Because Leslie Wexner personally led the match, Simon’s farm estate on the outskirts of Columbus was adjacent to the Wexner family.The estate of Wexner’s family is over 300 acres, which is used for permanent residence. It is fundamental that the estate that Westeros has spent heavily on may not be able to live for a few days a year.

Similar properties under Simon Westero's name are said to have spread throughout North America, Europe and Australia.

According to some media speculation, the value of these real estates in Westero's name is enough to put him in a very close position on the Forbes 400 rich list.

Until sitting down in the restaurant at Shell Villa, Leslie Wexner couldn't help but wonder how much money Simon Westero has now!

In addition to personally participating in the preparation of the plan for the Victoria's Secret Show, Leslie Wexner rushed over from Monday. In recent days, he also discussed the use of funds that the Wexner family had just cashed out from the LTD acquisition.

About 20% of the LTD shares were sold. Excluding capital gains tax and spare funds, Leslie Wexner planned to use the remaining $300 million in other investments.

In terms of investment vision, probably no one can match Simon in recent years.

Since he is already a partner, Simon does not mind reaching a deeper cooperation with Leslie Wexner.

After several discussions, 300 million US dollars of capital, of which 100 million US dollars will be accepted by Cersei Capital's hedge fund Cersei Fund Management Company.

This hedge fund, which is controlled at around US$3 billion, has always been the target of many investors.

Under Janet’s personal supervision, Cersei Capital also used this fund to weave a network of interests that would be very eye-catching if revealed.

With the remaining $200 million, Leslie Wexner also accepted Simon’s suggestion that it will be placed in two other subsidiaries of Cersei Capital, mainly for investment in technology stocks.

The three subsidiaries of Cersei Capital, Cersei Fund Management Company, Apollo Management Company and Black Rock Asset Management Company, according to different investment objectives, the risk is reduced in order. For the arrangement of the Wexner family funds, you can try as much as possible Ensure the security of this 300 million US dollars.

Very low things are handled during working hours, the atmosphere of dinner is quite relaxed.

Of course, the topic is more concentrated on the big show.

This project has just been announced, and many people are turning around to find out what is going on.

Of course, some lace is indispensable.

If other people want to gather a top model of the fashion circle to hold a big show, it may be regarded as a more pure business behavior.

But, Westeros.

A guy, only 24 years old this year, whether it is wealth power or personal image, has a fatal attraction for too many women.

Even, many models who wanted to join this big show had already had the idea that Westeros should not be too simple. If this young super tycoon is fancy, even if it is unlikely to get any place, Then there is no need to struggle.

These laces will inevitably become the subject of fun for Simon, and even Janet is a small, scornful expression.

Dinner ends at more than eight o'clock.

As it happens, the side party of Deadly Weapon 3 starts at nine o'clock, and Simon sends an invitation to Leslie Wexner.

In Hollywood's Vanity Fair, there are probably few rich people who are unwilling to do so. Leslie Wexner and his fiancee agreed with pleasure, and then rushed to the city together.

In the past few years, with the support of Simon, the Australian gang's influence in Hollywood has become more and more obvious.

In addition to the early Mel Gibson and George Miller, the new Nicole Kidman, Jane Campion, Peter Jackson, Buzz Luman, Sam Neal, etc. are already in Hollywood has a firm foothold.

Tonight's side party, Mel Gibson specially invited a group of people from Hollywood to help members of Australia to come to support, so Simon will attend.

The lively premiere of "Fatal Weapons 3" also means the official start of the summer break in 1992.
