Hollywood Hunter

Manhattan, 66th Street in the Upper West Side, has become the former Metropolitan ABC Group headquarters of the Daenerys Entertainment Television Business Center.

The time is Friday, January 26.

In a conference room in the building, just ended a production meeting on "American Idol" that will be re-launched on February 6th. The others left, and Simon continued to sit at the large conference table with Robert Iger Discussing some details in a whisper, he got up after a while and walked around with a smile on the head of Sister Cher who didn't go out: "Simon, are you free at noon, I have a place in St. George?"

It was only the half-season "American Idol" that allowed Cher, who had been in a doldrums over the past few years, to return to the top.

The actor and actress, a film and television song that has been in Hollywood for many years, naturally knows why he can do this. At this time, he sent an invitation to Simon, and he really wants to thank him.Of course, if this little man has some other interest in her, Cher will not be too refusal.

This little man who has been envious of countless women, if something happens between them, she will not suffer at all.

Simon glanced at the interior of the old-fashioned diva who was still dressed in a smart casual curve, and said with a smile: "I am not very convenient to go to St. George, and I am worried about being onlookers. If you don’t mind dining in this internal restaurant, I have air."

Xueer immediately said: "Oh, of course not."

He looked at Iger.

Without waiting for Cher to speak again, Robert Iger immediately said: "I have an appointment with my family and eat together at noon."

I originally worked at ABC. For the convenience of commuting, Iger's family is in the Upper West Side, not far from here.After switching to Daenerys Entertainment, Iger’s position in the circle has been getting higher and higher in these years, and his income has also become richer. He still has not moved out of the Upper West Side, but just changed to a better building after Daenerys Entertainment went public. Villa.

Since others want to dine with their families, of course it cannot be stopped.

The family is always the most important.

Everyone said that they were about to go out with a smile, and they happened to see another "American Idol" judge Jennifer Lopez who had just left again turned back and almost hit Simon. The girl stopped and apologized: "Sorry, Weiss Mr. Trow, I left my bag here."

He pointed to the meeting room.

Robert Iger looked at the situation, just smiled and nodded, and left first, very hurriedly.

However, Simon was about to turn sideways and let Jennifer Lopez enter the meeting room. Cher already said: "Jenny, is that red Chanel? I just saw you forget here and let my assistant send you over, It seems that you haven't met, go to the parking lot and see, she should be there."

Jennifer Lopez froze for a moment, and soon reacted, apparently reluctantly turning slowly, not forgetting: "Thank you, Ms. Xueer."

Simon watched the Latin girl disappear on the elevator and gave Thumbs up to Cher: "Great."

Seen through by a man, Xueer didn't hide it, and deliberately flicked a horse-grabbing expression: "Little Chick," and after looking at Simon, he said: "This should not be your dish, Simon, why did you choose her?" "

Simon said: "For the purpose of the show, it is undeniable that she did a very good job, didn't she?"

In any case, successful people have certain characteristics of success that are difficult for others to match.The former Jennifer Lopez’s fame and popularity have been weird. It is like a blanket star on the other side of the ocean. Obviously there are no impressive representative works, but he can often enter the Hollywood actress with tens of millions of dollars of income. Top income ranking.

This is ability.

Not admirable.

Simon chose the other party for this reason. Although it was only a supporting role among the four judges, until the beginning of "American Idol", Jennifer Lopez's popularity has not been much worse than that of Cher and David Kruger. What is missing now is only the inside.

Cher listened to Simon's words and had to nod: "It's really good,

Simon felt the charming eyes that Sister Xueer glanced at naturally, and smiled: "Don't boast, I'm going to float."

"Ha ha."

The two talked and laughed and came to the high-end dedicated restaurant in the building. This is where Daenerys completed the merger with the Metropolitan ABC Group. It was opened by the company that was previously controlled by two stingy old men.For ordinary employee office space, Simon is inclined to open space, which is more convenient for communication between executives and employees.

However, Simon has never advocated fairness in the details of the restaurant that involve workplace treatment.

What level you can enjoy in the Westeros system, what kind of treatment you can enjoy, such as medical treatment, catering, accommodation, travel, etc.

This is actually a distribution according to work.

Ordinary employees can eat in the canteen at ease, and executives can travel on the company's private plane to stimulate employees to strive for upstream.If someone feels unfair, either try to climb up or leave, and choose other companies that think they are fair.

Sister Cher, who has always been pursuing exquisite life, was originally hesitant about eating with Simon in the internal cafeteria. After seeing the decoration of the executive restaurant and the menu delivered by the waiter, there was no doubt.

There are French, Italian and Chinese cuisines in the three countries to choose from. Even if there are not many optional dishes, Cher is even more surprised, because these are the rules of the top restaurants, different dishes at different times The quantity is not large, mainly to ensure the absolute freshness of the ingredients.

In the past, even if you started working outside, there will be someone in charge of eating and drinking. After so many years of fame, she has rarely experienced such things as eating at some of the company's internal restaurants.

After ordering, Xueer couldn't help but say: "It seems that I can come here often to eat in the future."

Simon politely said: "This is our honor."

There is no additional explanation. If Cher herself came here, she might get another menu.

According to Cher’s specifications, you can enjoy the treatment of Danielle’s vice president level here. Perhaps the dishes will not be much worse than this time, but the choice of drinks is definitely different.

A bottle of Latour winery just ordered by Cher was collected in 1975, and only Simon can personally use it here or a few people such as Iger to entertain guests, and he must send someone to pick it up. Just in the Upper East Side, more than ten minutes, you can wait.

Simon didn’t explain, Xueer actually felt some, and didn’t talk much about it. He tilted his legs slightly and changed his side to a more amorous posture, saying: “I read the newspaper this morning, and the box office of Batman vs Superman has reached the box office in the latest week. It’s 470 million US dollars, which is really shocking. However, recently, when I attended some parties in the circle, everyone was under a lot of pressure."

In the box office week that just passed, the fifth week of "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" continued to account for $38.01 million with a 31% weekly box office decline, and the cumulative box office reached $472.61 million, which surpassed Simon’s use of "Bat" in one fell swoop. Xia: Moment of War created a record of 436 million US dollars at the local box office, excluding inflation, and successfully set a new record at the local box office in North American film history.

Not only that, with the expansion of the overseas market, the overseas box office of "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" has also begun to break out. Last week, the statistics have exceeded the 400 million threshold, reaching 429 million US dollars, almost the same as last week’s film. The local 434 million US dollars were flat, and the statistics of the overseas box office over the next two days over the weekend were almost certain to achieve a surpassing the 472 million US box office.

Because of the power of the Super Bat War, it is not only the movie circles of overseas countries that are clamoring for Hollywood invasion again, and even a large number of native filmmakers in North America have a sense of crisis.

Do you still have a way to go on like this?

Simon listened to Cher saying this and shook his head slightly: "The Super Bat War is just a special case, and there is no need to worry about it at all."

"But what do I think, in recent years, the DC movie universe series, "Jurassic Park" series, and Pixar's 3D animation..." Cher raised an index finger in the air and said, "In short, I It’s no courage to break into Hollywood anymore."

This is also the truth of Sister Xueer.

After winning the Oscar's best actress with "Moonlight", Cher seemed to have won the Oscar's spell. Since then, she has not participated in a big-selling work, and almost collapsed.Fortunately, "American Idol" provided her with a turnaround. Now that the reality show is so successful, it also drives Cher's music career to resume the second spring. She has already planned to concentrate on this matter and no longer go to Hollywood or Old-school or cutting-edge actresses scramble for resources.

Simon can actually understand the mentality of many filmmakers in Hollywood. At this time, he just said: "This is just a psychological effect. The mainstream of Hollywood is still a regular movie created by everyone. Let’s say that the 400 million dollar box office movie in the country is not counted. For the rerun, I think about it, "Moment of War", 436 million, "The Rise of the Dark Knight", 416 million, "Jurassic Park 2", 413 million, plus the super bat battle that is still in theaters, you see, There are only 4 movies in total. There are more than 400 cinema movies produced in Hollywood every year."

Cher thought about it and asked, "What about "The Lion King", I remember it has exceeded US$900 million in the world?"

Simon replied: "The locality of "The Lion King" is only 327 million US dollars, and the big head is overseas."

Xueer didn't expect Simon to remember so clearly, but he blurted out and couldn't help asking: "So, what about "Superman"?"

"The locality of "Superman" is $363 million."

""Wonder Woman"?"

"371 million."

"Jurassic Park, Part One."

"356 million."

Sister Xueer's head and eyes were a little bright, and there was some admiration in her tone: "No wonder you can achieve everything now, and you can clearly remember so many box office figures, it is really amazing."

Simon smiled: "I hear you praise me so much, I won't tell you that I actually just read the data this morning."

"Oh, it's still very powerful, anyway, I can't remember so many things anyway." Xueer said, and then turned back to the topic: "So many local movies with 300 million US dollars at the box office also make it difficult for everyone. It is estimated that only George restarts the "Star Wars" series to compare with these movies."

Simon said: "Everyone will find their place no matter what. In fact, what I just said is more inclined to merchandise. I still prefer real movies, like the "Moonlight" that gave you an Oscar. , I've seen it many times."

Cher was a little surprised: "Simon, isn’t this a compliment? I remember many people didn’t like this movie, they also said I was a little far-fetched with Oscars."

"Of course not a compliment," Simon said: "This is a movie that can touch the soul very much. Of course it is not the so-called soul shock of the deliberately sensational movie, but the whole movie is rendering a restless atmosphere. After watching it, It will give people the urge to immediately find someone to fall in love with for a lifetime."

"Oh, Simon, you really can talk."

I don't know when Sister Xueer's head has leaned forward slightly and her arms are resting on the dining table.

The two chatted in this way, and the waiter then served lunch, and the host and guest enjoyed themselves for a meal.

At the end of lunch, the fingers of Sister Cher's head had no idea when they crossed the table and hooked on the back of Simon's hand. Such a young and handsome little man with various auras and body can attract a group of women to post even if he doesn't speak, let alone The lunch just passed, the knowledge and humor between the other party's words and talks was really hard to resist.

Sister Xueer thought, if you don’t take the initiative, if you miss it, you will be too bad: "Simon, are you still free at night? Maybe we can have dinner together again, just pleasant, isn’t it?"

Simon just shook his head: "I'm sorry, I have arranged for the evening."

Cher asked: "So, what about the weekend?"

"It won't work on weekends," Simon said, taking back the right hand that was kicked by Cher, and said with a smile: "Since this lunch is very pleasant, then it's better to stay in memory. Some things are too much."

The man said this, Xueer felt sorry, but no longer entangled: "It's such a shame. But, when you are free, you can call me at any time."

The two said that Cher’s assistant brought the woman’s trench coat, and Simon took the initiative to get up, and took the help of Cher to put it on, and left the restaurant together, until she sent Cher into the elevator, and then returned.

The work schedule for the afternoon is still here.

So busy until the evening, Simon drove to the manor in the northern suburbs of Greenwich by helicopter.

Rejecting Cher at noon, on the one hand, Simon is currently abstinent, on the other hand, it is also Sophia Fisci coming from Europe today.

Twilight came back to the North Suburb Manor. The woman was already preparing dinner. Daniel and Gemma, who had already started school, were also here. Having been together for a long time, plus the birth of the other two little guys, there were almost some Simons here. Feeling at home.

Except that Daniel and Simon are always a little embarrassed when they get along, nothing else. The simple and straightforward Gemma occasionally calls Simon'Stepdad', a very formal'stepfather' tone, deliberately with a little irregularity In fact, it is also a kind of recognition of the girl's heart.

Dinner is equally warm.

Sofia talked about work, the two children discussed learning and life, Simon also talked about the recent trivialities, and Sofia parents who dine together also tried their best to cooperate with this atmosphere. Over the years, the couple also recognized Simon With this status of his daughter, especially Simon's status is getting higher and higher, and the Fisher family is getting better and better, and the couple has no other thoughts.

After dinner, Sofia's parents and two children took the initiative to return to the next door, leaving space for Simon and Sofia.

Simon didn't do the fire immediately, but talked about some very formal things.

Inspired by some recent events, Simon is planning two plans, and also has two codenames, one is'Troy' and the other is'Sauville'.

The three closest women, Jennifer is at home, and Janet is already in charge of many things. Moreover, considering the nature of the two plans, the most suitable one to discuss these things is Sofia, so let the woman help the staff, among them Some details are also her responsibility.
