Because of three more kids, the breakfast time of shell villa is full of vitality.
This is Monday, May 16.
There is a family of seven in the restaurant. Simon and his wife sit together as usual. Veronica is next to Melbourne. The female assistant takes little Nick with her. Janet grabs Seattle beside her. She happily teaches the precocious little girl to read the food and tableware on the table one by one, and occasionally rewards her for sucking some food. She can see little Nick straight on the special baby seat opposite make one's mouth water. The two little ones are only six months old. They are just joining in the fun. They can't eat anything except milk for the time being.
Seattle tasted the Pitaya particles, and then spit them into the spoon. Janet praised them with a smile. She noticed her little son's eyes were wide open and looked at him. She tried to poke the spoon across the dining table and seduced him by saying, "little guy, I'll call mom. I'll give it to you."
Little Nick couldn't say it, but he just opened his mouth and looked forward to it.
Then, Janet decided to return the spoon to her mouth and enjoyed it. The little guy who was fooled by his own mother finally couldn't help crying.
The female assistant gave Janet a white look, took little Nick out of the baby seat, gently coaxed him, raised her skirt to feed the baby, and then stopped crying.
Janet looked at the assistant who was feeding her baby, then looked at her man, and finally turned to Seattle, like a wolf grandmother: "does SYL want to eat, too?"
Seattle small location under the head, the voice is still very light, but the pronunciation is clear: "Yeah."
Janet immediately showed a successful expression and shook her head with regret: "no..."
as Janet spoke, she felt that even her eldest son was looking at herself strangely. Simon could only pretend nothing happened.
I didn't expect that Janet was still working hard. She whispered something in Seattle's ear. Then she took the little guy to the spacious dining table and said with a smile, "go ahead."
The female assistant looked at her daughter lying on the table and said helplessly, "Jennie, stop it. I can't feed two children."
Jeanette grinned cunningly, then gently pushed the girl who was obviously hesitant. The child's beautiful eyes looked at both sides of the table, and then crawled toward Veronica.
Seeing her aunt's face go from surprise to ruddy, Janet burst into a gloating laugh and tapped the table.
Now that it has been made clear, Simon's life story has not been hidden from the female assistant. Seeing her daughter heading for Veronica, she is worried about her embarrassment. The female assistant wants to hold the child first, but there is a little bit of food in her arms, so she can't get up for a while.
Fortunately, without waiting for Seattle to arrive at the "destination," Simon stood up and grabbed his daughter and handed it back to the cheerful Janet.
Janet took over the baby, but she didn't encourage her to go to Veronica's side any more. She held the little girl in her arms with a smile and praised, "Sylvia is so smart..."
the female assistant noticed the strange atmosphere in the restaurant and took the initiative to find a more formal topic. She asked Simon, "Hilary is coming to our house at noon. Don't you really plan to come out in person?"
Hillary Clinton, of course.
The president's wife is here as a lobbyist for the Hearst group.
Washington may be able to be indifferent to Hurst group, which is now being pushed by many people, but it is impossible to ignore the more than 20000 employees of Hurst group and the Trade Union forces behind them. After all, these all mean one vote after another. On Friday, several major paper media unions jointly submitted a petition to the White House to intervene in the chaos of the Hearst group. After a brief communication between the White House and Los Angeles, Clinton sent Hillary Clinton to come to the White House today to say something in person.
Simon had no intention of letting the Hurst family go.
On the one hand, Simon wants to take away any capital that may make the Hurst family recover. On the other hand, he wants to avoid the Hurst family's desperate choice of losing both sides. After all, rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry.
People are always like this. As long as they have some hope or think they have room to turn around, they will not go to extremes.
The Hester family's hesitation after Simon's offer also fell completely into his expectation.
See the female assistant asked, Simon also know her mind, echoed: "since it is the president's wife to come, just you treat, I don't join in the fun."
Both in the White House are smart people.
If Simon doesn't show up in person, the other party should understand his mind and won't pester him any more.
The relationship between the westrow system and the Clintons is far from the level of mutual advance and retreat, and it is impossible to be close to that level in terms of their respective positions. The relationship between the two sides is basically that of cooperation and mutual benefit. Simon will not fully support Clinton, and the White House will not be compliant with the westrow system.
Of course, both sides are aware of the importance of each other. Even if it is impossible to advance and retreat together, no one will easily give up such a strong ally.
Since the exposure of Doris Fischer's murder, it is impossible for the current Hurst group to get away easily.Simon's attitude is really the key to the whole thing.
The one-sided public Crusade triggered by Doris Fischer's murder has its timeliness. Just like the news corporation's eavesdropping scandal in Simon's memory, the Murdoch family has not been hurt for a while, and is still one of the most powerful media families in the world. If there was no interference from the westero system, the Hurst group would end up in the same way. After all, the other party encouraged the assassination of the president, which caused public indignation, only to close a newspaper.
The current situation is that on the basis of the murder of Doris Fischer, the Hurst group is also facing the comprehensive block and litigation bombing of the westero system, and the combination of the two is the most lethal. The murder alone served as a catalyst to accelerate the collapse of the Hearst group.
If Simon can give up the overall ban on the Hearst group and agree to a quick settlement of those huge claims, the Hearst group will be able to take a big breath and deal with a series of disturbances caused by the murder case much easier.
From the beginning of March to now, the westrow system has been tossed about for more than two months. All this is due to the secret manipulation and exposure of the London Girl incident by the Hurst family, as well as the wantonly exposing attack of the Hurst group on Simon after the two sides split face.
It is only because the current westero system is strong enough, and the gossip exposed by Hurst group is far from as bad as the murder case, that it does not have too serious substantive impact on the westero system.
Simon, however, has been struggling for the last two months.
Many of the original plans had to be cancelled.
"Suicide team" in Australia was finished in April. According to the Convention, Simon usually follows up the DC movie universe project for at least a week, but this time he can't make time to go to Australia.
From the initial little discord to the present deep entanglement, all originated from the entanglement of the Hurst family.
Simon can't forgive himself if he wants to let go of the other side when he has completely occupied the absolute advantage.
This time, even if we can't make the Hester family become poor, Simon will make the Hester family completely removed from the media industry, and lose the huge media empire that supports its recessive power. Even if the Hester family can retain some family background, it will lose its influence in this country.
Wealth and power are always complementary.
Without power, it will only be easier to continue to deprive a family of its remaining wealth.
What Simon said to Lydia Hurst last week when he was entertaining her mother and daughter was not a joke at all.
After breakfast, Veronica left for New York, and Janet would have gone. The merger of black rock asset management company and State Street bank asset management department is at a critical moment. Because of the president's wife's visit, women postpone their trip until tomorrow. After all, it's impossible to just let the female assistant who is not well-known come forward to entertain them. Simon doesn't care, but it will inevitably make Hillary feel despised and offended.
Simon is on his way to Daniels studios to start the day.
In order to avoid the attack of Batman: the rise of the dark knight, a super blockbuster on June 3, the summer program of 1994 was officially launched on Friday.
On May 13, a total of three new films appeared in North American theaters. They are "star gate" directed by Michael Bay, produced by danielis entertainment, new "race deep" by Spike Lee, a famous black director, produced by Columbia Pictures, and "when a man falls in love with a woman" starring Meg Ryan, produced by Disney.
Among them, stargate is undoubtedly the most popular one.
Since he was announced as the director of Jurassic Park 2 in early April, and was selected to direct the first vermeen show, Michael Bay's Virgo has become the focus of much media discussion.
After several internal auditions to roughly confirm the film's reputation, Denise entertainment also decisively invested $20 million in the publicity budget.
With the production cost of $30 million, the total investment of Stargate has reached $50 million, which is the level of a blockbuster.
The new stargate is really better than the original.
Michael Bay made full use of the action adventure style he was good at later on within the budget, and the plot was no longer procrastinating and completed in one go.
Instead of focusing on portraying the eccentric alien image of Jay Davidson, the film tells a high-level story of human beings leading alien aborigines to fight against evil aliens and gain freedom.
Although it is a high concept film in essence, the operation of wormhole theory in the film is still very novel in the type of Hollywood science fiction film, which has become a selling point of the film.
In terms of casting, neither James Spade, whose style is more suitable for literary films, nor Jay Davidson, whose style is more suitable for crying games, has been used again. Casting basically follows the routine of American commercial films, with upright protagonists, playful male partners and eye-catching vases.Once upon a time, the heroine of "Stargate" was a little-known newcomer. This time, Simon himself appointed the famous Hollywood beauty actress Catherine Zeta Jones. This British actress, who has accumulated a lot of fame in recent years, has a slightly darker complexion, which is very consistent with the style of the alien Aboriginal girl in the group photo.
Stargate scored 8.2 on Friday after opening with 2296 screens.
Since the official announcement of Jurassic Park 2, the media and the public have been observing Michael Bay with a magnifying glass, so it's hard to avoid being harsh. In this case, "Stargate" can also get an excellent media score of 8.2, and Michael Bay's first feature film is equivalent to a perfect answer.
The box office of the film is even more satisfying.
During the first weekend from May 13 to May 15, the box office of "Stargate" reached 25.63 million US dollars in three days. It took only three days to achieve the average sales of 10000 US dollars. It is estimated that the box office of the first week will be about 36 million US dollars. This kind of box office performance is far more than the other two blockbuster movies "Four Weddings and a funeral" and "detective plane head" launched by Denise entertainment in 1994. It is almost certain that the box office will exceed 100 million.
As long as the local box office exceeds 100 million yuan, star gate can recover the full cost only through the distribution of the North American Academy of art, and the follow-up channels will directly enter the profit cycle.
On the other hand, as of May 12, four weddings and a funeral, which had been released for 13 weeks, had grossed US $104.55 million, making it the first domestic film with a box office exceeding US $100 million in 1994.
Just over the past weekend, four weddings and one funeral received another $680000, with a cumulative box office of $152.3 million, and the box office is expected to be around $1 million for the whole week.
This romantic comedy, which is partial to Literature and art, is still showing on 563 screens. Although the box office is about to fall within $1 million a week, with the film's strong reputation and long-term trend, it's not a big problem to continue to earn $5 million. Finally, the local box office will reach about $110 million.
Moreover, the overseas box office of Four Weddings and a funeral is even better. As of last week, the cumulative overseas box office of the film has reached 153 million US dollars, which is expected to exceed 200 million US dollars, and the total global box office may reach 300 million US dollars.
With a production cost of US $5 million and a box office return of US $300 million, "Four Weddings and a funeral" is almost the highest box office return film of 1994.
The other Kim Carrey comedy, detective plane head, grossed $77.26 million in five weeks as of May 12.
However, just over the past weekend, under the impact of three new films such as "Stargate", the box office of "detective plane head" dropped by 31%, and only received $4.13 million in three days. It is estimated that the box office of the whole week will be about 6 million.
With the official opening of the summer program, due to the vulgar comedy theme of popcorn, the box office decline of "detective plane head" will continue to deepen in the face of a lot of new film pressure. As of last weekend, the box office of this box office comedy with a total box office of 81.39 million US dollars is not a big problem for the local box office to exceed 90 million US dollars, but the possibility is very small.
Moreover, because of its emphasis on the vulgar comedy style of American local culture, the overseas box office of "detective plane head" is not very good. As of last week, it has only earned 33 million US dollars, and the total overseas box office is expected to be about 50 million US dollars.
The global total box office is expected to be 140 million US dollars. Compared with the total investment of 25 million US dollars of the film, it is certainly a big profit. Simon knows that the box office appeal of Kim Carrey has not been fully stimulated, so he can only expect the box office performance of "the disguised geek" at the end of the year.
As for the fact that the local government can't break the 100 million mark, Simon is not really sorry.
With a total box office of more than 90 million US dollars and entering the billion yuan club, it's more just a symbolic meaning, and it's more significant for actors, especially those just popular actors like Kim Carrey.
Moreover, because Kim Kerry tried to change the uneasy style of his original contract immediately after he suddenly became famous, it's just right that the box office of detective airplane head stopped at more than 90 million dollars. Simon is not a stingy person. If Kim Carrian is safe, he will give a big red envelope to the other party after the successive big sales of "detective plane head" and "disguised geek".
Now, as soon as the comedian became famous, he began to make noise. Unfortunately, Simon would only give nothing.
The back-to-back production of quirky has been completed. If Kim Carrey continues to be ignorant, Simon doesn't mind keeping each other cold for a few years. Several other Hollywood studios may give in to a star who can bring a big sale of films. However, danielis entertainment has too many good projects to develop, and no one is indispensable.
