Chapter 187: 187

Sandra's residence is located in the Byrd street community of Beverly Hills, next to the star studded estate of Strauss Dale.

The range rover drove into a quarter acre mansion. Before Simon got out of the car, Sandra trotted out of the villa wearing a white dress with mesh suspenders around his waist.

Simon looked at all kinds of cars in the yard and the figures on the other side of the villa, hugged Sandra, took the gift from Neil Bennett and handed it to her. Then he said, "how can there be so many people?"

After hugging Simon, Sandra took the man's arm and went to the villa with a gift in one hand. She said, "I just wanted to celebrate quietly, but since half a month ago, people have been asking me about it and asking if Simon westrow will attend. I can't say no, it's so shameless. And then it's like this. "

Simon said with a smile, "you said earlier, I'll lend you the house in palisade."

Sandra rolled her eyes and refused, "come on, I can't afford your birthday party."

It's evening. When they walk into the villa, many of the guests who were talking or pretending to be talking and laughing suddenly look over.

During this period of time, Denise's film industry has become more and more brilliant in Hollywood. Not only the two summer movies "vulgar novel" and "instinct" have all achieved great success, but also they have successfully entered the television market. The ratings of "who will become a millionaire" are simply eye-catching.

As the person who created all this, Simon naturally became the focus of attention in the circle.

Although there are some controversies, we all know that in Hollywood, except for box office and ratings, everything else is empty.

As long as you can make big movies and TV shows, you are God in the eyes of studios and networks.

Similarly, "vulgar novel" and "instinct" are once again popular with a lot of people. In the eyes of countless Hollywood actors who are always looking forward to pursuing this opportunity, Simon is also the God who can make them ascend to heaven.

Because of his busy work, Simon seldom attends parties during this period. Sandra's birthday party has become a great opportunity for many people to seek contact with him.

As Simon's first popular actress, there are all kinds of public or private affairs between them. No one thinks that Simon and Sandra are innocent.

Simon was held by Sandra in arms and walked around the crowd like a male host for more than half an hour. In his spare time, he hid with Sandra in a rather private living room on the second floor.

The area of this mansion is not large, but the location is very good. It happens to be a gentle slope in the south. Leaning against the sun chair on the balcony of the living room, you can see the downtown Los Angeles that has begun to light up.

Sandra brought over a glass of red wine, sat down on the edge of the recliner, watched Simon recline leisurely on the recliner, flipped through a magazine, handed over the red wine, and asked jokingly, "why didn't Jennie come with us?"

Simon took a sip of the wine, enjoyed the good smell of Sandra, and said, "do you want her to come?"

Sandra leaned over Simon's chest and said, "well, do you want to stay tonight?"

As a normal man, Simon does not resist the feeling of intimacy with Sandra. However, if you stay here tonight, it will be a bit of a trouble.

With a regretful shake of his head, Simon imitated Janet's tone and said, "I have to be home by twelve."

"So strict," Sandra said, with a look of disdain on her face, grabbing Simon's wrist, sipping a sip of red wine close to the glass in his hand. "So dump her. I can allow you to go home at two o'clock in the morning."

Simon held the goblet carefully to keep the drink from spilling out, and said with a smile, "then you're not afraid that I'll find another one who will allow me to stay up all night?"

Sandra frowned in distress. It was really a big problem. After thinking about it for a while, she quickly compromised and said, "we can discuss it."

"I don't like women who have no position."

"Hum, spineless man, women will let you go home whenever you want."

As for the dignity of men, Simon immediately refused: "how can it be? Of course, I can do whatever I want. In order to prove this, I decided to go back at 11 o'clock."

"Ha ha."

As the host, Sandra could not have left for too long. They stayed on the second floor for a while and then went down quickly.

When the guests in the living room saw them coming down from the upstairs together, their faces looked as if nothing had happened, but their eyes were more or less ambiguous, and some of the female guests were disappointed.

It's less than half an hour.

As night falls, the party begins.

Naturally, the party was not as grand as Simon's birthday party at the beginning of the year, but there were absolutely a lot of Hollywood celebrities.The top management of wma and the leaders of several major film companies all rushed over. Although many people just showed up, exchanged greetings with the public and left again, it was enough to make many little stars at the party envious.

However, even Sandra herself knows that these people are mainly coming to Simon.

Like Terry Semel's intentions in the afternoon, Hollywood knows that Denise pictures is looking for new projects recently.

The two projects "vulgar novel" and "instinct" make Orion and fox, who are cooperating with danielis film, make a lot of money. "Vulgar novel" directly supports Orion's performance this year. Naturally, Hollywood filmmakers who see it in their eyes are trying their best to get in touch with danielis film.

"Nancy is a trader in the Chicago Commodity Futures market, but her performance is poor and she is about to face layoffs. By chance, she met the devil Nike, who has the ability to predict and can clearly foresee the future. Nancy, who is eager to succeed, makes a deal with Nike. She exchanges her soul for futures information from Nike.... "

On the lawn in the backyard of the mansion, Simon patiently listened to the script introduced by George crane, a producer introduced by Jonathan, and said with a smile: "George, this is a very interesting idea. However, this setting of futures traders is a little far away from ordinary people. "

George crane suddenly brightened up and immediately said, "it's really a problem, Simon. We can become a stock trader if we need to."

Simon doesn't intend to be too perfunctory with the other party. It's difficult to make new tricks in this setting of trading with the devil. The final result is that the heroine repents, abandons the devil's conditions or passes the devil's test, and then a lover finally gets married.

"Well, George, you can have a script sent to Denise pictures tomorrow. If I think it's good after I've read it, I'll get back to you."

When George crane heard Simon say this, he naturally understood that there was not much hope for things. He continued to chat with Simon for a few words and then walked away wisely.

Jonathan looked at George crane as he left and said to Simon, "I like the play. Simon, don't you think it will work?"

Simon shook his head calmly and said, "the story is too old-fashioned. Besides, I don't see anything that makes people see."

"In fact, Hollywood has never lacked creative scripts, but people have always been more inclined to add something on the basis of proven successful ideas, involving tens of millions of dollars of investment, so as to be more secure," Jonathan said of his own experience, looked at Sandra beside Simon, and then said, "come on, you introduce him to sonny Dee's "a fish named Wanda" is really surprising. It's estimated that only North America will get more than 60 million US dollars at the box office. Sandra signed a 10% Omni channel profit sharing contract, which is enough to make her the highest earning actress in Hollywood this year. "

Simon shrugged and said, "I was a bit surprised. I just thought the play was very interesting."

Jonathan had a smile on his face, but at the bottom of his heart, he instinctively thought it was no accident.

Having just heard of an idea of trading with the devil in exchange for predicting the future, Jonathan even thinks that everything Simon has shown since his debut, whether it's the actions of Hollywood or the operation of making more than one billion dollars in the stock index futures market last year, is almost like trading with the devil.

With this in mind, Jonathan naturally would not say it. Although he is not an atheist, he also feels that his idea is somewhat absurd.

Sandra waited for Jonathan to go away, but she didn't hide her mind. She put her arms around Simon's arm and touched it. She lowered her voice and asked, "Hey, have you made a deal with the devil, too?"

Simon nodded mysteriously, looked around and said, "it's an angel. I met him two years ago when I was in a mental hospital."

Sandra's face flashed with surprise: "introduce me to you."

Simon said regretfully, "it's a pity that she has come back to God."

They were talking in a low voice. A tall girl in a black evening dress came up, but it was Nicole Kidman.

"Simon, sandy, what are you talking about?"

"Simon said he had seen God," Sandra said carelessly

Nicole was stunned. She nodded and said, "this, um, is very interesting."

Simon is very helpless. He lives well. How can he see God? He just ignores Sandra's words and asks Nicole, "how's George's" sailing over the horizon "going?"

Although still in control of Nicole's two films, Denise pictures did not have a suitable project for her. Simon agreed that Nicole should shoot George Miller's "sailing across the horizon" first.

For similar reasons, so did Samuel Jackson and Meg Ryan, who signed the option contract with danielis pictures.

"It's too cold in Australia now. It won't start shooting until September," Nicole said. She looked at Simon and said, "I heard you're going to shoot Batman in Australia.""Yes," Simon didn't deny, saying, "it's also the season. It's just right to shoot there early next year."

Nicole also did not hide, said: "speaking, Simon, is there really no suitable role for me, even a small supporting role can be ah?"

Simon shook his head regretfully and said, "I'm not willing to waste your film appointment on a supporting role."

"It's not in the contract," Nicole said with a quick compliment. "After all, who would turn down Simon westero's invitation?"

With such a party, the time of the party was fast flowing.

After ten o'clock, more and more guests left. Near eleven o'clock, the whole mansion was almost empty.

Although there are a lot of guests tonight, Sandra didn't hire a party company.

Simon and Sandra saw off the last group of guests. Seeing Sandra's assistant Gina Klose in the living room alone, they said, "would you like to call someone to clean up?"

"Tomorrow," Sandra said, sending Gina to rest, pulling Simon down on the living room sofa, curling himself up in the man's arms and saying, "are you really not going to stay tonight?"

Simon poked his finger through the mesh of Sandra's skirt and said, "don't you want to get up early tomorrow morning and make headlines?"

Sandra opened Simon's mischievous fingers with a smile and said, "I don't mind if I can get Simon westero."

Simon laughs and tries to kiss the woman on the forehead, but Sandra hugs her neck and kisses her on the lip.

They huddled on the sofa for a while, but Simon got up and left. Even if he and Sandra don't care about gossip, they have to care about Janet's feelings.

The next day was Wednesday.

Although Simon didn't stay at Sandra's house, his attendance at the girls' birthday party last night was played up by tabloids, but it didn't cause much disturbance. At the age of 20, he has fame and wealth beyond the reach of others. It is normal for such a guy to keep spreading all kinds of gossip with women.

Simon is not in the mind to care about these, he needs to deal with the thorny issues about rain man.

Before last year's Good Morning Vietnam, Barry Levinson, who started from TV series, was only a second-line director like Robin Williams. "Good Morning Vietnam" eventually grossed 123 million US dollars in North America, more than all the films directed by Barry Levinson.

In this era, any director who can produce a film with a box office of more than 100 million in North America will be sought after by the whole Hollywood.

As Barry Levinson's position rose, so did his temper and mind. In the process of directing Rain Man, just like the two male protagonists, Barry Levinson also contributed a lot to the film budget.

In order to avoid the project completely out of control, Simon has been personally following the whole shooting process. At the beginning of his later work, he also handed Barry Levinson a 17 page memo that he had accumulated from watching and shooting sample films every week, hoping that the other party could edit it according to his own opinions.

So it happened.

During this period of time, Simon has been able to hear Barry Levinson constantly complain publicly about Simon's excessive interference in the Rain Man project on various occasions. If it wasn't for Denise's press release, these rumors would have appeared in the Hollywood Reporter.

In the initial contract, Michael owitz bought Barry Levinson a month of post editing time.

Simon naturally did not expect the current situation. Considering the reasons of the original group, he agreed. Now he regrets his original decision.

Fortunately, a month has finally passed.

Simon is not in the slightest concession to ask to see the rough cut sample.

The viewing room at Denise pictures headquarters.

After three and a half hours of rough cutting, Simon turned off the projector, looked at Barry Levinson and said, "Barry, I found at least five details that I mentioned in the memo but didn't appear in the film. I need an explanation."

Barry Levinson didn't care. "Simon, I think it's a good cut. I don't think it's necessary to stay in the details you mentioned. "

Simon continued to stare at Barry Levinson and said, "or, Barry, you did it on purpose, didn't you?"

Barry Levinson said, "Simon, I really don't like people interfering with my work."

"But, you have to understand," Simon said coldly, "I gave you this job. If you spent 25 million dollars, or more than 25 million dollars, you have the obligation to give me a satisfactory result."

Hearing Simon's words, Barry Levinson's temper came up and said, "westero, I'm a director, not your slave. I will only make the best of this project according to my own ideas. If you can't accept it, you shouldn't have hired me in the first place. Do you know how many Hollywood studios are willing to give me 25 million dollars to make films? ""It seems that we have nothing to say," Simon stood up and said, instead of wasting words with Barry Levinson. "Denise pictures will completely take back the post production power of this project. In addition, I need to remind you, Barry, that under the contract, you have an obligation to maintain the reputation of this film. So I don't want to hear you talk about rain man in public again. It's good for both of us. "
