Hollywood Hunter

"Speaking of which, this idea came up when I first participated in the Chanel Gao Dingxiu trial fitting. Many people always don't understand why a handmade custom dress is so expensive, and it is not clear how many cumbersome processes are involved in it. This opportunity gave me the idea of ​​this "Fashion Workshop" program."

"So, your first show is going to start with Chanel?"

"Yeah, there was Carl in the production process. This is a rare opportunity. Of course, Simon, if you insist on starting from Gucci, I can also adjust the program plan. Anyway, the first three phases have been completed, the second phase It's Gucci."

"Listening to your tone, I seem to be a very stingy man."

"If I really think so, I dare not choose Chanel from the beginning."

"Quite talking."

"Huh, your tone is really old-fashioned, Jenny, do you think so?"

"Indeed, he is sometimes like an old man."

"Ha ha."

Reception site.

Simons and Jerry Hall are discussing a show planned and hosted by each other.

"Fashion Workshop", as the name implies, mainly takes the audience to visit the handicraft workshop introducing major fashion brands.

There are various handicraft workshops ranging from button feathers to wedding dresses in the fashion industry. Since they are hand-made in small batches and the prices are naturally expensive, most of them are luxury goods.

For example, a custom wedding dress, from the design to completion of the wedding dress, may require a large number of senior technicians in different workshops to spend several months to complete, therefore, a top wedding dress, the price of hundreds of thousands of millions of dollars, not at all It seems exaggerated.

In the past few years of Gucci's recovery, Sofia has spent a large part of its brand expansion efforts on the acquisition of various old craft workshops in Europe to increase the brand's gold content.

After the establishment of TV, of course, a group of staff cannot sit in the conference room to create a program behind closed doors, but like a fashion magazine, ask the TV fashion industry for a variety of program ideas.

In this process, Jerry Hall provided a program to visit various handicraft workshops on the spot.

It’s just the fashion industry, the handicraft workshops under the major luxury goods, the inheritance of subdivision workshops such as buttons, feathers, coats, shoes, etc. that may reach a hundred years. There are just too many to mention. These handcraft workshops are very worthwhile Writing a profound cultural heritage, therefore, Jerry Hall’s idea was quickly accepted by the TV program production team, and the first season 13 episodes were scheduled, while Jerry Hall personally acted as the producer. And host.

In the original space and time, the public's impression of Jerry Hall was basically only two, the wife of Mick Jagger, the leading singer of Rolling Stone, and the wife of Rupert Murdoch, the chairman of the News Corporation.

Only these two items are enough for too many people to confirm that this is a very powerful woman.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Being able to drag Mick Jagger into the marriage grave and finally have a late afternoon relationship with media tycoon Rupert Murdoch can't be done by a woman.

A clever and powerful woman cannot naturally be a vase beside a man.

The former supermodel, who was 36 years old this year, has basically ended her T-stage career. Being able to take advantage of the opportunity of Daenerys Entertainment's establishment of TV to successfully transform into the background, it has once again proved the strength of this woman.

As for the "Fashion Workshop" program, both the TV operation team and Simon himself are very optimistic.

As long as the program is good enough, a series of documentaries about the handicraft workshop in the fashion industry can be a signature of TV, and it can still be a classic series that can be played for a long time. In the future, TV will expand globally. This series will be on any regional network. Play, will not seem out of place.

At the same time, the promotion of handicraft workshops in the fashion industry can also allow the audience to more deeply understand the value of major luxury brands,

Everyone talked for a moment, knowing that Simon had other people to entertain, and Jerry Hall took the initiative to leave.

However, when she left, the woman did not forget to find an opportunity to quietly throw an ambiguous look at Simon, a posture calling me privately.

Janet seemed to be unaware of this, holding Simon's arm and saying, "She is really tall, even taller than you."

Putting on high-heeled shoes, Jerry Hall's height can reach one and nine meters, and it really looks higher than Simon. This height is indeed enough to make most of the same-sex opposite sex feel ashamed.However, because of her outstanding figure, even if she is thirty-six years old, this woman still looks very charming, and it is easy to provoke a man's desire to conquer.

The two continued to entertain for about half an hour, realizing that Janet seemed tired, and Simon left the party early with the woman.

Going back to the apartment on Fifth Avenue, Janet squinted her head directly on Simon’s shoulder on the elevator. Simon hugged the woman in front of her with concern, and put a forehead on her. She didn’t feel feverish and asked: Uncomfortable?"

Janet stretched his hands around the man's waist and wrapped it around him, rubbing his face on Simon's chin, and said, "What has happened recently."

Not only Cersei Capital, Janet’s current authority basically covers the entire Daenerys Entertainment.

Especially at the beginning of the year when the various companies in the Westeros system summarized the financial information of the past year, women almost read several financial materials every day to ensure that there are no gaps in them, plus they have to take care of the two. Her private life does seem to be very busy every day, completely incompatible with her lazy personality.

Bowing his head down on the woman's lips, the elevator door opened, Simon simply picked up Janet and walked towards the apartment, said: "If you don't want to do it, don't do it, you are better at arranging these than me."

Janet was held in the arms of Simon by the princess, and she simply kicked off the small high heels on her feet, and gently shook the next pair of white feet, saying: "No, maybe, I don’t know clearly, It’s been a bit tired recently."

The A girl in the apartment, Alison, opened the door, Simon entered the living room, wanted to put Janet on the sofa, the woman wrapped around his neck without loosening, she simply sat on the sofa in a posture, thinking for a while: " Take time to go to the hospital for a check."

"I don't want to go to the hospital."

"Then call out to the house," Simon said, and simply raised his head to the girl B who was also greeted: "B, you arrange it, and let the doctor come over to check on Jenny tomorrow."

"Well, forget it, let me go to the hospital. Well, back to Los Angeles, our own hospital."

Compared to going to the hospital, Janet does not want doctors to come home.

From a very early age, Simon knew that Janet was instinctively resistant to these things in the doctor's hospital.

The Westeros private hospital started preparations from the time Janet was pregnant in Melbourne. Now it has been basically completed. There are probably more than 20 top doctors of various types in the industry. On weekdays, it is only for the top management of the Westeros system. open.

Simon carefully looked at Janet's ruddy face because she had just drank some wine, and when she saw that the woman had made a grimace at her naughtily, she didn't ask too much.

Seeing Steve Rose’s cancer situation at the beginning, Simon attached great importance to the health problems of himself and the people around him. The two conducted a comprehensive physical examination every six months. The last physical examination was still in early January. Janet’s body The state is very healthy, and it is impossible for something to happen within a month.

On Monday, he completed the TV online work and continued to spend a day in New York. On February 10, Wednesday, Janet returned to Los Angeles, and Simon set off for Europe, planning to participate in the opening ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival on February 11.

After the merger of East and West Germany, the international political situation changed, the Cold War completely stopped, and Germany began to pay attention to its own cultural construction.

In recent years, the Berlin Film Festival has become an increasingly important cultural project of the German government.

Simon's attendance at the opening ceremony of the 43rd Berlin Film Festival this time was the result of the vigorous invitation of all parties.

Speaking of which, the three major film festivals in Europe, Cannes and Venice, Simon have shown up more than once, except for Berlin, Simon has never been present before, considering the recent European trip necessary to deal with the beginning of the New Year Simon's affairs in various European companies, Simon agreed to this invitation.

Moreover, although the Berlin Film Festival has always been not very cold about Hollywood movies in terms of awards, in fact, Hollywood movies are a very important category at the Berlin Film Festival every year.

For example, in recent years, Hollywood’s well-known “Dancing with Wolves”, “Moonlights”, “Born on July 4th”, “Driving for Miss Daisy” and many other excellent films have basically appeared in The main competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival every year.

At the current Berlin Film Festival, in order to attract more content, there is no restriction on the participation of the above-mentioned films.

The Hollywood legion of the main competition unit of this year's Berlin Film Festival is still strong. Among the 26 main competition units, there are "The Wedding" directed by Ang Lee, "The Field of Love" starring Michelle Pfeiffer, and Robin William. James’s “Toy” that was released last year, Spike Lee’s “Malcolm Aix”, Jack Nicholson’s crime drama “Hofa” released late last year, and “Arizona” starring Johnny Depp Six Hollywood movies in Dreams were shortlisted, exceeding one-fifth of the main competition unit share.

Among the six main competition films, "The Wedding Banquet" was produced by Gaomen Pictures.

After Jack Cheng's "Shuanglong Club" has achieved great success, Daenerys Entertainment has been paying more attention to investment in discourse movies in the past two years. "The Wedding Banquet" is a script that Catherine Bigello privately recommended to Simon.

Catherine has always been very close to the New York film industry because of her experience in filming at Columbia University. Her relationship with Simon is almost well known. Coupled with the importance of Daenerys Entertainment on independent art films, there will always be some The filmmaker submitted the script to Simon through the channel of the woman.

Because Simon will always agree to invest without hesitation, and there are not many scripts that can be handed over to Simon through Catherine. "The Wedding" is one of them.

However, even after Catherine's hand, the budget cost of "The Wedding Banquet" is not high, only 1 million US dollars.

In addition, Gaomen Pictures also signed a long-term contract with Li An for three films.

This clause was dictated by Simon himself.

Li is one of the few Chinese directors who can break into Hollywood and achieve success. Of course, Simon will never let it go.

Departing from New York on the afternoon of January 10, after more than seven hours of flight, arrived in Berlin, the local time is already more than seven o'clock in the morning on January 11.

The opening ceremony of the red carpet began at five o'clock in the afternoon, and Simon hurried to his residence in Berlin.

For many reasons, Berlin is not as conspicuous as London or Paris in the impression of many people. Even when arranging large European cities, Berlin is often located alongside other big cities, but it is often difficult to grab a sense of presence.This phenomenon is the same as in Germany.

After World War II, even on the front line of the Cold War, Germany has always been very low-key on the international political stage. East and West Germany silently attached or controlled in the hands of the two major forces of the East and West. Unconsciously, it has developed into the second largest after the United States and Japan Three major economies.

When Simon initially started buying properties in Europe, UU Reading www.uukaanshu.com hadn't merged with East and West Germany, so he didn't buy a property in Berlin.

In recent years, Simon’s personal wealth has grown rapidly, and he is fully capable of supporting the idea of ​​buying homes in major cities around the world. Berlin was naturally involved.

Compared with a manor outside Paris, a Kensington mansion in London or a mountain villa in Cannes, Simon’s residence in Berlin is much more'ordinary'. This is a five-story pure white European-style apartment in the center of Berlin. The Spree River, which traverses the city of Berlin, is less than two kilometers away from Berlin’s iconic sights such as the German Chancellery and the Brandenburg Gate.

Not only that, this apartment is parallel to several other similar buildings, forming a closed community with a concave side and a wall, so you can enjoy the scenery of Berlin through the window near the Spree River , Also enough to ensure the privacy of the apartment.It was for this latter reason that Simon bought an entire five-story apartment.

Just looking at the geographical location, the original price of the apartment is not too low. In order to buy the entire apartment, the cost of renovating and renovating more than 60 rooms inside is included. The total investment before and after reached 25 million US dollars. The renovation and renovation also took last year. A whole year.

At the beginning of the 1990s, the $25 million mansion is basically the same as the later one hundred million yuan mansion.

Except for Simon, there is probably no other rich man, just to own his own property in a city. He may not even live once or twice a year, but he has invested 25 million.After all, for this property, Simon invested all the money before and after.

It’s just $25 million in cash, and it’s not something that most of the top billionaires with only a few billion dollars can easily get at this stage.
