Hollywood Hunter

Malibu, Daenerys Studios.

The time is Monday, May 17.

Ending the production meeting of "Forrest Gump", the time is approaching noon, have lunch with Robert Zemigis, Tom Hanks and others, and send away each other, Simon and Daenerys Film President Tom · Pollack returned to the office building of the administrative district.

The two entered the office elevator, and Tom Pollack told Simon: "At a reception in Bel Air on Saturday, Ovitz and I mentioned the sequel to Jurassic Park."

Simon just nodded and asked casually, "What does Owitz say?"

Last Friday, "Jurassic Park" was officially downgraded in North America, and the media began to pay attention to this series of sequels that have not yet been promoted.Daenerys Entertainment delayed for half a year, and even if she felt that she was unlikely to be replaced, Spielberg would probably have difficulty holding on.

Tom Pollack said: "Ovitz hinted that I was lobbying Steven to set up his own large studio. If we can't sign the contract for the Jurassic Park sequel as soon as possible, Steven may not have Enough energy to focus on this project."

Simon directly named a person: "David Geffen?"

Tom Pollack froze for a moment and nodded, "You also heard about it?"

David Geffen is the founder of Geffen Records. Geffen Records was originally affiliated with Warner Records. In the past few years, Geffen and Steve Rose collapsed because of the Time Warner merger. Geffen Records moved to Universal Records. And further became part of the Daenerys recording group.

At the beginning, MCA acquired Gefen Records through a share swap. After Daenerys Entertainment acquired MCA, David Gefen, who held about 10% of MCA shares, cashed out.Because of the restrictive agreement, Geffen could not re-enter the record field in recent years and began to experiment with film investment.

Simon didn't bother to inquire about all kinds of gossip in Hollywood. The information in his memory was enough for him to sort out a lot of clues.

However, in the face of Pollack's doubts, Simon nodded slightly and said directly: "According to the plan we discussed, continue to pervert Steven, and then choose the right time to announce the change of director."

Tom Pollack paused and nodded, saying nothing more.

Simon also knew Polak’s thoughts. The former Universal Pictures executive with a conservative personality always felt that replacing Spielberg was not safe enough. He had already explained that he was thinking, and Simon did not intend to continue to waste his tongue to persuade his subordinates. , Only need the other party to execute.

Coming to her office on the top floor, Nancy Brill is already waiting here.

When Simon came in, the senior executive of a small child who was sitting on the sofa in the reception area reading a document stood up and Simon shook his hand and then sat down again.

Girl A followed Simon, put down a few documents, and served coffee to the two of them, and then quietly left the office.

Nancy's eyes follower A girl fell in the direction of the closed door, retracted her gaze, and looked at Simon faintly, said: "Man is really like old and new."

Simon took a sip of his coffee and leaned on the sofa to open the box office report last weekend. He said: "This is already very old, and I am planning to change to a new one recently. Are you interested?"

Nancy gave Simon a white look: "Do you think it is appropriate for me to step down as a group president to serve as an assistant?"

Simon shook his head: "You are wrong, the group president is yours, I mean to help me warm the bed."

Nancy said: "I think I should bring a recorder when I talk to you in the future, so that I can record a lot of evidence of sexual harassment."

Simon resolutely shifted the topic: "Okay, tell the business."

Nancy couldn't help but lost her white eyes and said, "I recently selected a few executives for Besida Entertainment."

Simon wondered: "Is there anything wrong?"

Nancy said: "This requires your consent."

The little child executive said, handing over a document she was looking at when Simon entered the door.

Simon took it, and the name on the first page surprised him.

Robert Shay.

The founder of New Line Pictures.

After thinking about it without rushing to say anything, Simon continued to put it down, and then saw the names of a pair of brothers, Harvey Weinstein, Bob Weinstein.

Without carefully reading the contents of the three resumes, Simon closed the folder and looked to the opposite Nancy: "Tell me what you think?"

Nancy said: "The new line will start an asset auction next month. After the liquidation is over, Robert Shea must still be in this circle. And the Weinstein brothers, last time you asked me to take a photo of Miramax. After the film library, I have investigated the brothers. Although they do not understand the joints, I think that it is not just this new line. The previous Miramax bankruptcy should also be the result of your manipulation."

On the surface, Simon was arrogant and compelled to admire the keen consciousness of this little woman.

The bankruptcy of the new line of film industry, Da Ni Lisi Entertainment is very obvious.

However, for Miramax, Simon had just asked James Rebold to privately greet Miramax’s creditor, Chase Manhattan Bank, and very few people knew about it. The fact that she took the Miramax film library touched herself.

Since he was guessed, Simon did not deny it, saying: "Since this, you dare to recruit these people, and, do you think they will agree to join Best TV Entertainment?"

Nancy didn't hear Simon's denial, raised her eyebrows slightly, and then said: "As long as you agree, the rest is my business."

Simon asked: "Why are these three people?"

Nancy said: "Robert Shay is an excellent film company manager, experienced, very proficient in production and distribution, and frugally and meticulous enough, cautious personality, and never squander. The Weinstein brothers are the kind of A very adventurous filmmaker, although some like to rampage, this kind of character that is not bound by the traditional Hollywood pattern happens to be the most lacking in this traditional conservative circle."

Simon nodded slightly, but said again: "Two people with different styles, even if they can be brought under their command, do you think you can let them cooperate with each other?"

Nancy said again: "This is my business."

Simon looked at the small woman on the opposite sofa, who was only one meter and five or five meters, and said, "But if you mess up, it's my boss."

"A good boss should be able to allow his subordinates to fail."

"Okay, I agree."

"..."

"It seems that your evaluation of me in private is quite high."

"Not high at all."

"Don't be like that, the woman's mouth is bad."

"..."

"Okay, no kidding," Simon admired the depressed expression rarely seen by the senior executives of the small children, and said with a smile: "These three, you should understand that although the new line and Miramax are only second and third line film companies, But after all, they have been bosses. It’s not easy to get them to take care of the company if they are used to living in the world."

Nancy retorted: "Isn't Peter Cooper and Jon Peterson in Colombia, and Shirley Lansing of MGM, originally the owners of their own film companies?"

"It's not the same," Simon shook his head. "Several of them, originally used to work with big studios. Robert Shay and others have always been outside the studio system."

Nancy laughed: "In my opinion, it's just that they don't have the opportunity to cooperate with big studios."

Simon paused, thinking about some of the information in the memory, Nancy said is also reasonable.

In the original time and space, Miramax and the new line were at their peak. In fact, they were already subsidiaries of large media groups such as Disney and Time Warner. Strictly speaking, neither the Weinstein brothers nor Robert Shea Can be regarded as the owner of his own film company, but more inclined to professional managers.

It's just that both the new line and Miramax have strong autonomy.Therefore, in the impression of many people, three people still seem to be the boss of their company.

Considering for a moment, Simon shrugged and said, "Well, in fact, I just want to say that the three should all have very strong personalities. It is not easy to control."

Nancy tilted her head slightly and said, "Do you think it's easy for me to control?"

Simon's expression stunned, and then smiled: "I can control you with one finger."

Simon was just suggesting that he was very strong. Unexpectedly, Nancy's face suddenly turned red, staring at a guy and said: "Boss, if you do this again, I really want to sue you for sexual harassment."

Looking at the appearance of the small woman's anxiety, Simon suddenly realized that he raised his hand slightly to surrender, and couldn't help saying: "So, you should hurry up and find a girlfriend. The single woman is so pitiful."

This time Nancy froze: "Female...girlfriend?"

Simon shrugged: "I never persuade a woman to find a boyfriend."

"Are you looking for you, right?"

"Yup."

"Arrogant guy." Nancy felt that she had no strength to roll her eyes. She just got up from the sofa, stepped on the high heels that she used to loosen every time, and said: "Since you agree, I will go to work ."

Simon then stood up and handed the materials of Robert Shay and Nancy.

Nancy walked to Simon. Just before she arrived, she hadn't had time to reach out for the information. She suddenly crooked and fell to the side sofa with a soft whisper.

Simon watched the small woman fall on the sofa, still holding the posture of handing documents, paused, gestured on his chest, said: "So, you don't have to wear high-heeled shoes at all, height is not How much more is sometimes dangerous."

Nancy sat down on the sofa, took a deep breath, and stared up at the man in front of her eyes: "Why didn't you just help me?"

"No response."

"..."

"Okay, in fact, it's not dangerous for you. The sofa here is of good quality."

"..."

Simon had nothing to say. The little woman on the sofa had stood up, and then bullied Simon, reaching for his arms around the man's waist, and a small, blushing, delicate face came together.

Feeling the light fragrance between the nose wings, Simon dropped the documents in his hand and just put his hands on Nancy's waist, considering whether to hold the person in his arms, the woman's red lips were close, and then a mouthful of pearls The little white teeth, and then a sudden burst of pain came from the chin.

"what……"

In the man's cry, Nancy easily lifted off a certain guy's arms, picked up Simon who was thrown on the sofa, and walked to the office door. After opening the door, he did not forget to turn around and said: "Boss, this time just a warning, Next time I will bite a blood mark that will not subside for a month."

After speaking, he went away.

After the girl A was hired, she occupied the outer position that directly connected to Simon's office, so she heard the man's painful cry and the words from Nancy standing at the door, and watched a small child executive drop some'ruthless words'. The foot figure seemed to have left in a hurry, hesitating for a moment, Alison got up to the door and knocked on the door.

After Simon had returned to his desk, he was looking at the tooth marks on his chin against the computer screen. He noticed the figure of girl A and thought about it, saying, "A, help me find a band-aid, bigger."

Alison looked at the two rows of obvious teeth marks on his boss's chin, endured some smiles in his heart and inexplicable envy, and said: "The boss, it seems, there is no bleeding, no band-aid is needed."

"I know there is no bleeding, but wait for the meeting with Barry Weiss, and you have to cover it up."

Alison still couldn't resist raising her mouth and entering the office. She closed the door and found the emergency medicine box in the office corner locker. She turned it over and took out a box of band-aid to the man. In front of you.

Simon leaned on the leather chair and said bitterly: "Put it on me, paste it carefully to make it look better."

Girl A yelled, holding a band-aid in her hand, looking at the handsome, angular face of the man who had a short rest on the leather chair with her eyes closed for a short rest. Although it was not the first time he was so close, he realized that this was She can take the initiative for the first time.

The man opened his eyes and looked at her. Alison reacted and hurried forward. His slender fingertips touched gently on the tooth marks on the man's chin. Hesitated, he whispered, "Boss, You shouldn’t need to stick a band-aid. Probably, it will quickly go away with a rub.

The response I got was just a soft hum.

So he put down the band-aid in his hand and moved closer, and a few slender fingers pressed gently against the man's chin.

Feeling the breath of the man at such a close distance, the body could not help but feel a little fever.

Since being selected by Janet and coming to Simon, for a few years, this man's power, handsomeness, wealth, power, etc. have been impregnated with several girls at all times, because Janet's original hints and adjustments have been waiting or expecting. The man in front of him possesses them.

When some things never happen, some emotions become more profound.

However, at this moment, the opportunity was in front of her. Girl A was mechanically moving in her hand, and she looked at the man close by for a moment, and finally forced a certain idea.

Know the rules of men.

If something happened today, you can only leave him next.

Compared to certain desires that she had longed for, she still hoped to stay with him for a long time.
