Chapter 1186 Coming and Going

, Hunt Hollywood! Since Simon didn't intend to deliberately lower the budget and gave a very reasonable cost, Jerry Bruckheimer couldn't possibly have any problems, so he quickly agreed.

Simon looked at Michael Jordan again.

Michael Jordan also nodded: "I have no problem here."

In fact, the head of Westinghouse Electric still thinks it is a little small, half of which is only 35 million, which is a bit of a joke, but he also knows that things have to be done slowly.

In any case, today he can directly get a cooperation opportunity for a blockbuster project from Simon Westeros, and he will be full of confidence when facing the Westinghouse Board of Directors.

Those people have always criticized his transformation strategy.

"Very well, that's it," Simon said and turned to Bruckheimer: "Then there is the matter of the script, which needs to be revised. The main thing is that Edward Lair, who has been hiding from the US surveillance for a long time, the setting of this character is a bit far-fetched, I hope Replace it with a young man, a technical genius."

Speaking of this, after a little deliberation, Simon had a flash of inspiration and said, "It's better to be a young woman, well, we can set her as a scientist whose parents both worked for the federal secret department, and were killed in order to expose the illegal monitoring network. Because the woman is also an insider, she was implicated and had to hide all year round, while trying to find ways to get revenge, happened to find out what happened to the male protagonist, and contacted him proactively."

After Simon finished speaking, Michael Jordan took the lead in echoing: "This is good, Harrison with a young girl, um, this is good."

As for the specific advantages, after all, he is not a filmmaker. Michael Jordan couldn't describe it for a while, so he could only repeat the praise twice with a little embarrassment.

Jerry Bruckheimer is also recognized.

This kind of setting is much more exciting than two old men being chased and killed by federal secret agents all over the world: "Great change, and, I think this can also pave the way for a possible sequel, I mean, change to a woman Then the role of Edward. Simon, which actress do you think is suitable?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, let's get the script done first," Simon said here, and took the initiative to end the topic: "This is the case for today, and we will arrange a formal meeting next week to discuss more detailed terms."

The two nodded together.

After talking about the business, the rest is free. Simon still has arrangements later, and plans to leave after a little entertainment.

Most of the guests at the reception held the idea of ​​getting close to Simon, but some people thought more. After discussing the Nasdaq situation and the operation of the linkedin website with Michael Ovitz, the head of CAA said Seemingly casually said: "Simon, like Disney, it should be more in the interest of Daenerys Entertainment to let the Japanese continue to run Colombia?"

When Vivendi acquired Disney, the reaction in the Federation was stronger than when the Japanese acquired Colombia. The result still passed the merger review in Washington, which was largely due to the Westeros system's efforts.

Whether it is as big as a country or as small as an individual, it is natural to protect one's weaknesses.

Other studios have become foreign-owned, and Daenerys Entertainment will naturally receive more favor from the federal government.

With Ovitz's ability to scout information enough to be the leader of the intelligence department, it was no secret to him that Daenerys Entertainment took the initiative to push Disney out.

Simon didn't deny it, and said with a smile: "That's true. However, Mike, the problem is important. Nothing can stay the same forever. People come and go, which is a normal phenomenon in Hollywood. If this is the case, compared to trying in vain to stop This inevitable trend, I hope to be able to guide it in my own direction. To use a Chinese idiom, this is called, blocking is worse than sparse."

For the last four characters, Simon deliberately changed them into Chinese.

The coming and going is indeed the biggest characteristic of Hollywood. Even the seemingly long-standing major studios such as Warner and Paramount, after a hundred years, what remains is actually only the label, and the owner has long since changed how many. And starting in the eighties, this coming and going has become more frequent and will continue for many years to come.

Since it is an inevitable industry trend, what Simon has to do is to try to make this coming and going in the interests of Daenerys Entertainment, or, it can also be said, to ensure that this coming and going is always going on.

Turbulence means chaos, which means that the development cannot be stable.

Just like this time.

In the coming 1998, when the Asian financial turmoil hit Japan, Sony was the weakest moment when it was easiest to let go of Colombia. At this time, Westinghouse had the greatest opportunity to buy back this big film company. Once missed, it is difficult to say whether Sony will take root in Hollywood as it once did.

This is not what Simon wants to see.

Furthermore, Westinghouse Electric is also the target of Simon.

Whether it is Westinghouse itself, or Columbia Pictures, which Simon recommended to buy, it will be a mess in the future.

It sucks. It sucks.

Coupled with the memories of the past, no accident, Michael Jordan completed the mission of "General Electric Commercial Espionage" that was later satirized, sold all of Westinghouse Electric's core businesses, and tossed a large number of media assets, but it turned out to be impossible. Only to come and go again.

Then there was turmoil and chaos.

Others are in turmoil and chaos, and the stable Daenerys entertainment is bound to become stronger and stronger.

After listening to Simon's explanation, Michael Ovitz just smiled and said, "It seems that I should also find time to learn some Chinese."

"Nice idea."

Simon said, raised his glass to Ovitz, turned around and looked not far away

Amy Adams and Jessica Chastain, who have been thinking about it for a long time.

Seeing Simon looking at them, the two women hurried over.

Michael Ovitz walks away wisely.

When the two women came forward, Simon smiled and said, "Seeing that you have been staring at me for a long time, what's the matter?"

The two women were immediately a little embarrassed. They just kept looking for opportunities but failed to find them. The main reason was that they were a little guilty in front of those big guys, and they were even more guilty of Simon Westeros, so they didn't dare to rush forward.

Now, feeling the warm smile of the man in front of her, she couldn't help but relax, Jessica said first: "Mr. Westeros, we just want to thank you."

"Um?"

"At the beginning, we were selected to participate in Ghost Story."

"This is not necessary."

As Simon said, he looked at Jessica in front of him, and suddenly his heart moved. He remembered the Enemy of the People that he had just talked about with Bruckheimer and the others.

The image of the young woman in the setting, Jessica in front of me, seems to be perfect.

You know, most of the screen images of Jessica Chastain used to be relatively strong and independent leaders or strong women, such as the CIA agent in Hunting and Killing, or the spaceship commander in The Martian. What Simon needs this time is a strong woman who can confront Harrison Ford emotionally, not the vase Bond girl of the 007 series.

Jessica noticed Simon's sudden sizing, and her heartbeat accelerated inexplicably. She shrank her neck, then quickly and quietly relaxed, trying to meet the man's gaze: "Mr. Westeros, what's the problem?"

"Suddenly thought of something," Simon said as he regained his senses, and then he admired the two women tonight from a man's point of view, and said with a smile: "Also, you are very beautiful tonight."

The two in front of him are exactly the kind of Hollywood actresses that Simon prefers.

The basis of 70 points to 80 points, with some careful decoration, can reach more than 80 points that are pleasing to the eye.

Facing Simon's sudden praise, Jessica pretended to be shy, and Amy seemed a little embarrassed, and her eyes subconsciously looked around.

pity.

too many people.

Otherwise, now seems to be a good opportunity to step forward, um, that, according to Lina.

Simon didn't play step by step with the two girls, mainly because he didn't have so much time. He said directly: "I'm going to fly to Mexico for the weekend later. A manor has just been repaired at the southernmost tip of Baja California. Do you want to go together?"

Amy opened her mouth slightly.

Without hesitation, Jessica quietly took Amy's arm to prevent her from saying anything stupid, and said directly, "Okay."

"Then let's go."

Amy finally reacted, her eyes widened: "Simon, now?"

Simon raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "It's 8 o'clock in the evening. We take off from Los Angeles Airport. We only need one and a half hours to get there."

Jessica also remembered a question: "Simon, do you need a visa to go to Mexico?"

Simon thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, but it's night and it's dark, so it's easy for me to take you there."

""

The two women didn't know how to accept this joke, but they quickly realized that it was Simon Westeros in front of them. Is it a matter to take two people through customs temporarily?

Seeing the two girls wake up, Simon smiled and said, "That's it, I'll say goodbye to Mike first."

Amy was still a little cautious, and called to Simon: "Then, we must always bring our passports?"

Simon is also very talkative: "Yes, where do you live, we will drop by later to get it."

Amy shook her head and said: "Not with us, because I may go overseas to promote Ghost Story, and my assistant temporarily took it to apply for some documents."

"Then let her be sent to the international airport, and you make a call yourself," Simon said, pointing to the outside of the villa: "Then wait for me in the front yard."

Seeing Simon walk away, Amy and Jessica took out their mobile phones from their bags as they walked out, and dialed Lena's number.

About half an hour later.

At an entrance of Los Angeles International Airport, I noticed that one of the two black cars had pushed down the window. Jessica waved to herself, and Lena Kane, who had rushed here in a hurry, ran over.

When she came to the car, Lina took out two passports and handed them over, excitedly saying, "You guys are amazing!"

Speaking of which, the round-faced assistant had already noticed the man sitting between the two women in the car, and she was immediately embarrassed. She thought that a certain big guy was in the car in front, but fortunately, the girl had a thick skin, and soon revealed that she thought it was the most decent man. Smiling, he lowered his body and waved to the inside of the carriage: "Good evening, Mr. Westeros."

Simon didn't care at first, but when he found that the girl outside the window was somewhat similar to the Selena Gomez in his memory, he became a little interested and asked with a smile, "Do you have Latin blood?"

"Yeah," Lina nodded quickly, wishing she could have a few more words with this boss, after handing over the two passports to Jessica, she raised a few slender fingers in a mess: "Probably, One in eight, my grandmother was from Mexico."

"Oh, we are going to your grandmother's hometown for the weekend, do you want to go and have a look together?"

"ah"

This came out of nowhere, and Lena Kane, who was completely unprepared, didn't know how to answer.

Then I saw the man reach out and open the car door: "Come on."

"I, that" Lena said, squeezing into the car neatly, causing Jessica and Amy to roll their eyes, but she said again: "I didn't bring a passport?"

Simon smiled and said: "This is just right, I will take you to smuggle."

The bodyguard in the front row had already got out of the car at some point, and signaled to Lina to move further in. Then, Lina got up, passed Jessica, and sat on the man's lap with a petite body in her early 60s. She was still very embarrassed. Appearance: "Sorry, Mr. Westeros, it's too crowded."

Jessica: ""

Amy: ""

It seems that the round-faced assistant's encouragement to them before the reception is really not watery at all.

Clothes!

Simon felt that a small hand that was initially on his thigh fumbled all the way and finally supported his shoulder, and he was also a little speechless.

I thought I caught a silly face by accident, but when I got it, I realized it was a little wild cat.

Still very wild.

The door of the car was closed again, and it was started again. It took only a moment to come to a runway in the airport, where a Boeing 767 was already waiting.

The three women got out of the car and followed behind Simon, looking at the private jet in front of them against the airport lights, and suddenly felt a little unreal.

When he came to the gangway, Simon pointed to the two female guards next to him and said, "I'll wait for you up there."

As he spoke, he went up the gangway first.

One of the female guards stepped forward, stopped the three women slightly, and said politely: "Three ladies, if there are any inappropriate items on your body, please let us store them for you first."

The three women saw that another female guard came forward with a metal detector in her hand, and knew it was a security check, so they cooperated and let the other party do what they wanted. Amy raised her arm to cooperate with the detection while shaking the bag in her right hand: "Does the key count?"

"The key doesn't matter."

The female guard who just spoke said, and said sorry again, took the bags of the three girls and began to search carefully.

A few minutes later, after Jessica was confiscated with a two-inch long knife that was used as a key chain pendant, the three women finally boarded the plane and sat down in a living room in the middle cabin under the guidance of the maid. Seeing the figure of the man, Lina took the initiative to ask, but the waitress didn't answer, she just reminded them to fasten their seat belts, indicating that the plane was about to take off.

When the waitress left temporarily, the three women who were restrained in the seat by the seat belt looked at each other, and Lina laughed first, her round face was flushed, she was obviously still excited, and she muttered: "It's all right now, We are tied here, Jesse's self-defense weapons are also taken away, we can't resist what Simon wants to do."

Jessica was speechless.

She was so embarrassing just now, her small knife was only used occasionally to unpack and pick nails on weekdays. It was less than two inches long and not as long as her little finger, but the female guard seemed to have found a handful of Damascus. It also seems to be looking at her with a look of terrorists, is it that serious?

Amy saw that her round-faced assistant spoke pitifully, but her expression was obviously looking forward to it. Thinking about the brief situation in the car just now, Amy could only roll her eyes.

This is a real fairy.

Can't compare.

I even started to resent myself a little bit, what kind of passport do I have to take, is it not good to smuggle?

As a result, this goblin was recruited.

Amy originally thought that the words her assistant told her before the reception were just to encourage them. Just like many people always like to tell others some great truths that they can't do at all.

However, she is very determined now, and this one will definitely do it later, and even steal her and Jessica's limelight.

What is this?
