Kate Beckinsale and Rachel Vichy didn't get up until more than nine o'clock last night. They were led to the dining room downstairs for breakfast by the waitress. They found an open living room upstairs that connected with the terrace of the main villa. Simon was sitting on the sofa reading a play.

Simon is not the only one in the living room.

Fernanda Lima alone occupied the side of the sofa, lying on top of reading magazines, Simon opposite the single sofa is also curled up in the name of Angela lindworth girl, also holding a "vogue".

Because of the open layout, standing in this living room, you can directly see the back courtyard.

On the West tennis court, it is obvious that there are four other goblins. At this time, they are playing doubles with four players, and occasionally there are calls for Jiao.

At first glance, it's a very leisurely picture of weekend time.

It's just

Well, there are a lot of women.

At the beginning of a day for many people, Simon had already sent away the breakfast guests and spent an hour on today's work.

On the Chinese side's wish for Bezos to speak at the launching ceremony of Shanghai data center, when hearing a name disclosed by Chen Qing, Simon resolutely agreed and personally called Bezos.

On the other side of Europe, Celia has basically reached a tacit agreement with France. It's going to be a noisy week, and it's going to be over soon.

And there are all sorts of other trivia.

After dealing with these, there is no other arrangement today.

After all, it's Sunday. In the past, I must be at home with women and children. But this weekend, I was forced out and not allowed to go home.

So I plan to spend time here.

It's only one morning.

After lunch, he will fly to New York. Next week, he will discuss with several teams in New York about the bond issuance plan of a number of core enterprises in the westero system. According to the adjusted plan, Verizon Telecom's IPO is scheduled for August, but the bond issuance plan will start in July of the second half of the year.

In short, it is to hoard as much cash as possible to wait for the bottom.

After all, next year will be 1997.

even if the new technology bubble that has already flooded ahead can be sustained, the global economic shock triggered by the brewing Asian financial turmoil will bring a wave of low price for the bottom.

After the U.S. 87 stock market disaster, the circuit breaker mechanism was created.

Simon's memory of the first U.S. stock market meltdown occurred in 1997.

In the original time and space, the 1997 circuit breaker was only affected by the Asian financial crisis. This time, things may be quite different, because the new technology bubble has risen to a highly dangerous level earlier than before.

Noting that Kate and Simon came in, Simon said hello and patted himself on the leg.

Kate came over, sat down on the man's lap, leaned against him and asked, "Simon, what are you looking at?"

Simon showed Kate the script in his hand. On the cover, it read "the end of Disco": "you two are just in time. I think this script is very suitable for you two to play together."

Rachel is not as bold as Kate, and she has no place. Fernanda on the middle couch sees her coming and takes the initiative to get up and give up a corner of the sofa. Rachel goes to sit down and hears Simon say that the script is suitable for them. She looks at it curiously and notices the name on the cover.

Kate put her arms around Simon's neck and took a look: "what's the end of Disco about?"

Simon summed up: "the common story of a group of young men and women in Manhattan during the disco boom of the 1970s."

"It sounds boring," Kate said

Simon explained with a smile: "this is an art oriented film. The director and screenwriter are whit Stillman. This is an author type director with a unique personal style." disco doomsday "is the last of whit's Metropolitan trilogy. The reputation of his first two films is very good, and this is just a good script at the end of the film."

Kate took Simon's big hand and looked at the script. She asked, "what role do you want me to play?"

Simon said: "it's a double female film. Charlotte and Alice are both junior assistant screenwriters of a Manhattan publishing house. They don't have a high salary, they are in financial difficulties, and they are distressed because they can't afford a better apartment on weekdays. However, because they became friends with the executives of a popular disco, they could often enter the disco without waiting in line. In the process, they met all kinds of people. You're going to play Charlotte. She's mean on the surface, aggressive and feminist, but she has low self-esteem and weak heart. She's secretly jealous of her good friend Alice, and she faints and goes to the hospital because her boyfriend breaks up. "

Kate heard Simon say, shaking her head: "sounds very unpleasant, or I'd better play the envied Alice, let Rachel play Charlotte."

Simon said: "this temperament is too unmatched, Alice's character image is more introverted and quiet, Rachel is more suitable."Kate refused: "I can be quiet."

"The point is that if you play Alice, Rachel may not be able to hold up the role of Charlotte. As you just heard, this is a character with some complicated personalities."

Now it's Rachel's turn to listen quietly. However, she only slightly opened her mouth, and did not refute.

Kate pondered for a few seconds, and finally nodded: "since you want us to play together, then play."

Rachel finally said, "Simon, I'm going to film Titanic."

"It doesn't matter. The project will start shooting next year, maybe in the second half of next year. You just need to set aside a schedule at that time."

When Rachel heard that, she had no objection.

Instead, Kate blinked again and asked, "Simon, is this a low-cost production?"

"We haven't started formal preparations yet, but the budget for such a movie won't exceed $10 million."

"But when" baby thunderbolt "comes out at the end of the year, and Rachel's" Mummy ", we will Well, it's expensive. "

Simon rubbed the slender waist of the girl in his arms and said, "in making this kind of movie, no matter how famous the actors are, they usually take the initiative to cut their salaries. Stallone only got $60000 for making" police Empire "last year. Don't you want the full pay?"

Kate's eyes widened. "No, we only have $60000, right?"

"Even if you add a little, it won't be too much," Simon said seriously, looking at the girl in his arms. "Kate, this is actually the rule of Hollywood. If you want to get rid of the label of commercial vase, you need to properly participate in all kinds of independent art films, increase the style, and at the same time impact the awards. Especially in the past two years, you two have just become popular with commercial blockbusters, so you need to slow down. "

"In fact, I understand, otherwise I would not take" the catcher of the soul. "Kate gently shook her body, but then said:" however, I think such a movie, with an investment of 10 million, is likely to lose money. After all, according to you, I have not found any bright spot in this story. Why should I cast such a movie? "

"The main reason is that I like the story, and if you two take part in it, you don't have to lose money."

Next year's filming of "the end of Disco" will be the year after next.

Not to mention "baby thunderbolt" at the end of this year, next year, after "Mummy", Rachel will still have a "Titanic" on. At that time, as long as things don't happen too much accident, both of them should be the hottest new stars in Hollywood.

At that time, a literary and artistic film, at least in the omni channel range, will not have a big profit problem.

On the other hand, the reason for the deeper investment in making "the end of Disco" is, in the final analysis, to increase the diversity of Hollywood.

If Simon is just a film merchant and a Hollywood speculator, he will certainly pay no attention to the long-term business. Now, Simon has regarded Hollywood as his own territory, and the fact is almost the same, so he needs to take a longer-term view.

One of them is to curb the boring situation of Hollywood blockbuster in history.

In my memory, ten or twenty years later, Hollywood seems to be still prosperous, but in fact, there is a hidden worry that the big screen audience is shrinking because of the popularity of blockbusters and even random movies.

Not all age groups like blockbusters or improvised movies. If the big screen is full of these types of movies, some young children or middle-aged and elderly people will no longer enter the cinema.

Compared with the past, movies on the other side of the ocean were mainly concentrated in the young people's market, and the film market in North America has developed for nearly a century. Up to now, the audience composition of different age groups is still very balanced, with everything from 6 to 60 years old, and there is no obvious difference.

In addition, in recent years, Hollywood movies have appeared frequently, and the number of people who watch movies every year is also rising steadily. At present, the number of people who watch movies every year has risen from about 1 billion in the 1980s to more than 1.3 billion in the past year, and the peak in memory is 1.5 billion.

Then began to fall.

A large part of the reason is that the diversification of cinema films has decreased, and heavy films such as diffuse change occupy too many resources, resulting in many people no longer entering the cinema. Simon's job is to ensure the diversity of Hollywood as much as possible, and avoid the phenomenon of ever losing audiences to the greatest extent.

"The end of Disco" is the small detail of this big plan.

Seeing that she couldn't get in the conversation, Rachel set her eyes on the side of the sofa and saw another play. She picked it up and motioned to Simon. Seeing that the man nodded, she opened it.

The name of the play is club 54.

After a general review of the story at the beginning, we find that it should be similar to Simon's "disco doomsday", which is about the story of Manhattan disco.

Nestled in Simon's arms, Kate sees Rachel pick up another script and asks curiously, "what's this?"Simon explained: "club 54, two plays with the same theme, disco doomsday, belongs to the gentle petty bourgeois style, while Club 54 is more overt and fierce. It is not impossible that it will be rated as NC-17 in the future completely according to the script. I plan to make these two films together next year, just to promote them together. "

Kate was even more interested when she heard Simon say that club 54 might reach the NC-17 level. She reached out and asked Rachel for the script. Rachel subconsciously handed it over. Seeing that the script had been robbed, she reacted and looked at Simon with some grievances.

Simon smiles and hands over the script of "the end of Disco": "look at this first. In addition, Rachel, I have talked with Cameron that the filming of" Titanic "will start in July at the latest. There will be no more changes this time. I mean, when you go to Australia, you may have to stay for a few months. Do you want me to help you with two assistants?"

Rachel is looking at the script in her hand. She is stunned.

Two assistants?

He immediately thought of the two people around Kate and shook his head subconsciously: "no, I You don't have to. "

"Why not, of course," Kate said immediately, understanding Simon's subtext. "I heard that the environment in Australia is very bad, and there are many snakes. It must be very convenient for someone to take care of you during the shooting."

"That's settled," Simon decided directly. Seeing what else Rachel had to say, he stopped. "Don't refuse. When you feel you don't need it in the future, just send them away."

At the moment, the two of them were in harmony, and her heart was not so firm, so Rachel agreed.

It's a default.

In the room, Fernanda Lima and Angela lindevo listen silently. In fact, they are all envious. After Simon took a fancy to Fernanda last year, there are some assistant roles around him, but there is only one, and Rachel is two. The difference is obvious.

As for Angela, this is her first contact with Simon.

What's more, the girl was a little disappointed because last night, Fernanda, six of them, two of them and eight of them, Simon, alone, never touched her.

Mingming likes it very much and gives her the nickname "little fox".

Now, what's the situation?

Actually, I think of one.

She's only 17 years old now. According to the laws of California, she's actually not quite in line with the rules.

However, Angela doesn't think it's a problem, and she doesn't think about it, so she has no idea of holding the man opposite. Who's crazy to handle somebody like Simon westero like this.

Therefore, I also think that the other party should not think this is a problem.

So, why?

Is it because she is not beautiful enough, or is she too green? It is said that he likes mature women very much.

In a word, it's just uneasiness.

Angela is worried that there will be no more after this time. How can she be reconciled to the scenery of the girls who can get on with westrow in the fashion circle?

So until noon.

After lunch, Simon set out soon, and the six goblins returned to New York with him. He also asked Kate, because she would have a part next Wednesday. He decided to stay in Los Angeles for another two days, but Simon didn't ask.

Boeing 767 private jet.

I think it may be the last chance. When the plane takes off, a little fox becomes more and more active.

In the small projection Hall of the cabin, Simon, who is planning to watch a movie sample released in the second half of the year while flying, sees a girl coming over, smiles and signals to the girl to watch the movie together, and says: "this time is a little tight. If you have time, I'll take you to Canada or Mexico next time."

Angela lindworth is now 180cm tall, but because of her slim figure, she doesn't look big when she leans on Simon's side. The girl is also very smart. Hearing this, she immediately understands. She boldly puts her head forward and kisses Simon on the cheek, suggesting: "Simon, in fact, it's OK anywhere. I will never Well

The girl didn't explain it, but Simon understood it, and said with a smile, "of course I believe you. However, many times, when something happens, some people can't help themselves, so I won't show obvious and unnecessary flaws to others."

Think about the Paula Jones case that is troubling Clinton, and the Lewinsky "zipper door" that may be involved next.

In fact, neither of the two parties wanted to be involved in this process.

However, in order to crack down on Clinton, the Republican Party has done everything possible to force the party concerned to make trouble with Clinton by means of investigating relatives, repeatedly checking taxes and other almost rogue means. In order to avoid being implicated by people around him and being imprisoned, Paula Jones or Monica Lewinsky have to passively act as a political activist Rolling tools.

Simon has always been very careful not to show flaws in some unnecessary details. It's not because he is worried about the party concerned and will lose some money. What he needs most now is money.The key is to worry about being used.

Whether it's business competition or governance struggle, most of the time there is nothing to do with it.

It's like Jeffrey Epstein I just met again this morning.

In the original time and space, Epstein finally "committed suicide". The root cause was not those men and women's affairs, but political strife.

The Democratic Party wants to use him as a tool to crack down on a certain golden hair, so it picks out the cases that had been settled ten years ago. Originally, I just wanted to put some plaster on the president's face. As a result, when the lid was lifted, a group of people were involved, whether it was the Democratic Party or the Communist Party, or other members of the royal family, the super rich, university professors, or movie stars.

We can't touch any of them.

So we had to make Epstein commit suicide.

As for the big men who were brought out, with Epstein always shut up and shake the dust accidentally splashed on his body, everything was the same. Maybe some reputation troubles, but it's only a matter of time. No one is really punished for it. Everyone is still bright.
