"Also, in an email from Ms. Pascal, Arnold Schwarzenegger visited Joe Ross last night and proposed to restart terminator again. After being rejected, Arnold tested whether fox intends to sell the copyright. He hopes to contact other studios to cooperate with the project. "
Simon, who was browsing a copy of the Washington Post, listened to girl a and thought for a moment, "in that case, let them talk about it, and set the price as high as possible."
Although Schwarzenegger rejected "the game of the brave" last year, Simon has no opinion about the actor.
It's the same as Mike Myers.
The more Hollywood first-line stars, the more room for danielis entertainment to choose and bargain.
Of course, with the exception of some filmmakers whose discord led to irreconcilable conflicts earlier on, Simon has no feelings for these guys who are gradually disappearing from Hollywood's vision. Some people don't remember them very much, but he will never let go of the ban.
Alison pauses, looks at her boss in the newspaper, and says, "if terminator restarts, it will be a blockbuster. In the future, it may compete with our similar projects."
Simon looked up at girl a, shook his head slightly and said, "even if I stop it, there will still be other big budget movies. It's better to launch a project that we expected. In fact, the box office of "terminator" will not be too bad after the restart, but the cost of this project will be very high. You remember to remind Amy that if Arnold invites Cameron to continue to participate, don't stop it, we have to take the initiative to promote it. If the third film doesn't have $150 million, it will occupy a lot of resources of our competitors. "
It's unlikely that James Cameron will continue to be the director of the terminator series. However, even the nominal producer, with his money burning nature, will inevitably lead to a huge increase in the budget of Terminator 3.
Girl a quickly figured out the joint, nodded, wrote it down in the memo, and suggested: "boss, the comprehensive copyright value of terminator is very high. Besides movies, she can also develop TV, games and other products. In recent years, our game Department has launched two well-selling adapted games of terminator. So, I don't think we need to sell the copyright, just grant the shooting right, and it's a single shot right. "
"Well, good idea."
They discussed all kinds of work until aliya, an Indian girl, came to remind him that it was time for breakfast. Simon got up from the sofa beside the glass curtain wall.
Today is Saturday.
After breakfast, Simon didn't leave for work.
But not idle.
After breakfast, Simon left shell villa and went with Janet to another villa by an artificial lake on the northwest side of domay point manor.
The man-made lake has just been excavated in the first half of the year, with an irregular oval shape, covering an area of about two hectares.
It's mainly a habitat for the baby's two wild ducks.
There are independent swimming pools in some luxury houses of a certain size in Los Angeles, but artificial lakes are rare, mainly because they are not in line with the planning of luxury houses in the West. Moreover, Los Angeles is a very water shortage area. Maintaining an artificial lake and maintaining a swimming pool are absolutely two concepts.
It's like this side of domay point.
In order to avoid this artificial lake becoming a backwater, several biology professors from the University of California were specially invited to design a mini ecosystem before the excavation of the project. In addition, six 24-hour continuous operation water purification devices were provided. The environment around the artificial lake has also been rebuilt to ensure the harmony with the surrounding environment.
Lakeside villa is a simple two-story FRP structure building, which looks more like an office building.
It's actually for office.
The couple came to the terrace where they could enjoy the pool water nearby and the shell villa in the sharp corner a little further away. Soon someone sent a batch of documents.
These are the latest information from the private intelligence team of the Westeros.
In the eyes of outsiders, after marrying Simon, Janet seems to have become a housewife who doesn't care about the world. In fact, after giving birth to Seattle, she is the one who has become a housewife.
As for Janet, although she always looks lazy, she is in charge of the two most important affairs of the Westeros.
One is finance.
The absolute control of cersei capital is still firmly in the hands of Simon and his wife, while Simon only makes some general direction direction according to the economic trend in his memory. Janet is the specific operator of many layouts, and also holds the crucial hedge fund team in his hands. This is why Apollo management company and black rock asset management company are advantageous Executives like ang Blake and Lawrence Fink are on the rise, but cersei fund management doesn't seem to have too many outstanding managers.
Because that's Janet.
In addition to the financial business, another is the private intelligence team of the Westeros.
Simon has always attached great importance to the family's private intelligence team.Up to now, this intelligence network has spread all over the world. In recent years, I don't know how many potential troubles and threats have been solved for the Westeros. After all, there is no lack of coveting eyes for trillions of wealth every moment. Even if only one in ten thousand covets are put into action, all in all, it is a continuous trouble for the Westeros.
With the continuous improvement of the private intelligence network of the Westeros family, similar potential troubles have been successfully blocked at least in the past two years. There has never been an attempted assassination that was very close to the members of the Westeros family two years ago.
If you want to do this, you can't just walk in the gray zone.
Nowadays, the private intelligence team of the Westeros family is not only a group of secret professional agents, but also infiltrates into the direct security team and the maid guard team around the Westeros family, the security departments of various subsidiaries, the private arms of the Westeros family, various gangs going global with the Ukrainian Mafia, and a large number of people who have nothing to do with the Westeros family Unrelated private research and consulting companies, as well as employees of enterprises and governments in various countries, and so on.
Crisscross, countless.
With the increasing expansion of the westero system, Simon did not have enough energy to deal with such a huge intelligence network in real time, and it was impossible for him to give the matter to outsiders, so Janet took over. Janet also understood what this big net meant to the Westeros, so she was more attentive than cersei capital.
As it happens, women have enough brains to deal with this big net, just like playing chess.
On the terrace of the lakeside villa.
Janet, who has been browsing various intelligence documents with Simon recently, is no longer as happy as usual, and she is not tired of sitting next to Simon. They sit face to face and discuss from time to time.
"I remember that before the 1992 election, we helped Clinton deal with some of the beginning and end of the Whitewater incident. I didn't expect that this incident was still picked out, or at this sensitive moment?"
"You also say it's' some '. The Republican Party has found an insider who has not been bought out by us. What we can do now is to pick ourselves up," Janet said, looking up at Simon. "In fact, the best way is to evaporate."
"It's becoming increasingly clear that we're really a family."
"Well."
Simon smiles and shakes his head: "in fact, some means can not be used as far as possible. Or for our own sake. If we constantly lower our bottom line, others will certainly lower our bottom line accordingly. "
Janet answered, but said, "I didn't intend to use it, but if you look at this, I think some people may be unable to help it."
Simon took the folder from Janet and saw a candid photo, followed by a note. In the photo, a man and a woman are the personal assistant of a Republican Department official in the FBI, and the wife of White House counsel Vincent foster.
When Simon saw the name of Vincent foster, he immediately thought of the White House official who "committed suicide" because of the Whitewater case.
Unlike the Paula Jones case, which mainly involves the president's private morality, if the Whitewater case suspected of land transaction fraud is taken seriously, Clinton will face much higher impeachment risk than the farcical zipper door, so it will certainly not have a result.
As he glanced around, Simon closed the information and said, "let's just ignore it and watch. I think as long as the two parties are smart enough, they will not deliberately involve us now. "
Janet nodded.
Actually, it's not easy to get involved.
After all, even if the original operations are picked out, it's not easy to find out and investigate into the Westeros.
After the mid-term election two years ago, Simon was quite restrained in the political field. At present, he is mainly working quietly at the bottom. Clinton's scandals are not involved. In fact, he is conveying a message: don't mess with me, I won't mess with you.
Putting the matter aside, Janet added, "remember the last time the Clintons read a large number of Republican congressmen from the FBI?"
Simon is looking through some reports of events in Ukraine. Wen Yan asks, "have you been doing this again recently?"
"Yes," Janet said, "I missed the last chance, and this time, we also copied and saved a batch."
"Be careful."
"Well," Janet nodded. "How's Ukraine?"
Simon motioned to the outside of the terrace: "it's like a lawn. If it's not mowed regularly, it's bound to be overgrown."
After all, there will always be people who are not at home for a long time.
This is also "human nature.".
Simon's attitude is to cut the weeds when they come out. Ukraine is a very important part of some of his layouts, and we can't afford to lose it.
Janet did not ask in detail, but said: "I saw last week that razarenko has been confirmed as a new prime minister. He will take office at the end of this month, and the political arena in Ukraine will certainly be more lively.""It's better to be chaotic."
"In fact, I'm most interested in that woman," Janet looked up at Simon again. "She's been nice to you. Tut Tut, with your personality, she's not interested?"
Simon knew that Janet was talking about a Ukrainian "iron lady." he laughed and said, "I'm afraid that after she makes love to me, she will make love to other men again. You know, I'm a possessive man. I can't stand this kind of thing. "
"That's because you didn't accept others. If you accept her kindness, maybe she will be yours in the future."
"Well, I'll try next time."
"Little bastard," Janet came up with a nickname she didn't use for a long time, and quickly turned to another topic: "that African Victor merisis is very capable. He not only managed to secure a large area of our land in Angola, but also took the initiative to contact Savimbi and reached a peace agreement with each other."
"I'm also optimistic. Now I just hope he doesn't do anything beyond our expectations, so that in a few years, most of Africa's affairs can be handed over to each other."
"What's beyond expectation?"
"You know, all his family members died in the Angolan war in those years. People with hatred, even if they seem normal, will inevitably do some irrational things at some time."
When Janet heard the words, she blinked and looked at someone opposite for a moment: "Simon, what about you?"
Simon gave Janet a puzzled look: "what am I?"
"You Is there still hatred in your heart? "
"No
"Really?"
"Really."
"I don't believe it," said Janet, still staring at Simon like a cat. "You must have hated your aunt all the time."
"Not really."
"Actually It's nothing to hate, but some things are really inappropriate. "
Simon looked up at Janet and said, "I really don't hate it."
"I don't believe it."
“……”
"Actually, you can..."
Simon simply put down his papers and interrupted Janet. "Did you talk to ray and her about that year?" he asked
Janet shook her head.
Although she was curious, she also understood that this kind of thing was not suitable for further study. Moreover, even if she studied deeply, she might not get the answer.
"So there are some things you don't know," Simon said, hesitating a little, and then said, "there was hatred at the beginning, but, well, the hater is dead."
Jennie's big eyes blinked a few more times quickly, and the ghost made a difference Your father? "
In fact, Janet wants to add some action.
In private, I have learned some psychological knowledge. Men not only have Oedipus complex, but also patricide. At this time, sitting opposite a guy who has the character of grassland lion king, the two tendencies are too obvious.
Simon shakes his head helplessly, remembering the conversation with Raymond Johnston in front of the glass curtain wall of the shell villa a few years ago. If you don't say it, Janet's eyes are still flashing and waiting for the answer, so he doesn't want to explain any more. He has a fierce expression: "don't ask what you shouldn't ask, do you want to be raped?"
Janet had an excited little expression on her face: "yes."
