Chapter 1425: Vanessa and Scarlett (1)

After talking about "Kung Fu", it was already more than ten o'clock in the middle of the night. For night owls, the night life has just begun, but Simon has to go home.

There is still work tomorrow.

Ignoring all the explicit hints from the women at the party, Simon continued to socialize and say goodbye, walked through the crowd, arrived at the door of the bar, and was caught up by Vanessa Johnson, followed by Scarlett Johansson, who was obviously disgusted.

Taking advantage of Simon's arm, Vanessa looked forward to it: "Simon, can you come to my place tonight?"

Simon patted the girl's slender waist, smiled and shook his head: "Not tonight, baby, I'll contact you soon when I have time."

Vanessa did not give up: "In this case, Simon, you want to go back to Dumei Point Manor, right, can I give a ride?"

Simon remembered that the Johnson family was arranged on the side of Brentwood and happened to be on the way, so he nodded in agreement.

Seeing Simon's promise, Vanessa showed a bit of youthful excitement of a girl who had just turned 18, and walked out with her arms around Simon, not forgetting to glance at the party scene a little proudly. is to enjoy.

At the same time, he still ignored a certain annoying younger sister who was only able to come together tonight by cheating.

Scarlett pouted slightly when she saw her sister going out with Westeros, and followed closely behind.

Feeling wronged again.

Until now, Scarlett still insists that Simon should have liked her at first, but was snatched away by her own hateful sister, or her own sister!

When I came downstairs like this, when I got in the car, seeing my sister was going to chase Simon, Vanessa, who didn't seem to care about a follower, grabbed her and dragged her sister to the other side. Let Scarlett, who is already red-eyed, come up.

Simon's car tonight is a Bentley with an armrest in the middle of the back seat, which cannot be lifted, so the sisters can only squeeze a seat on the other side.

For the little confrontation between the sisters, Simon just watched with a smile.

Speaking of it was still a bad joke at the beginning, I did it deliberately, I wanted to see what would happen if the once unknown sister of the Johnson family was promoted to a big star.

Now, it's kind of fun.

More fun is yet to come.

When the car started and turned smoothly into Sunset Boulevard, while Vanessa thought she had suppressed her sister and diverted her attention from talking to Simon, a certain little girl suddenly got up, jumped over her sister, and rushed to Simon's side.

Vanessa really didn't expect it, she was stunned for a moment, then became anxious, grabbed Scarlett's arm and was about to drag the little girl back, a certain goblin naturally resisted fiercely, screaming and shouting at her. Simon called for help.

Seeing that the two girls were about to pull each other's hair, Simon could only say, "Okay, stop, if you keep making trouble, I'll have to drive both of you out of the car."

Vanessa stopped first when she heard the words, and finally pinched her sister's arm, then looked at Simon and apologized: "I'm really sorry, Simon, Scarlett is too headstrong, I will definitely not take her out next time. "

"I don't want you to take it," Scarlett countered with red eyes, and turned to the man: "Simon, you liked me at first, right, Fanny is the one who intervened?"

"This." Simon twisted Scarlett's petite body to let the girl sit on his lap, and said with a smile, "I don't like eight-year-old girls."

"I'm not eight years old," Scarlett obediently turned around and sat in the man's arms. Hearing this, she turned her head and held Simon's arms in front of her chest: "Look, I'm more developed than many 18-year-old girls." It's okay."

Simon felt it bluntly. Seeing that the girl's face was flushing quickly, he still teased: "The problem is, the mental age is only eight years old."

Seeing her younger sister successfully sitting in the man's arms, Vanessa felt a little apprehensive, and then made up the knife: "Not even eight years old, just like a child in kindergarten."

Scarlett directly ignored her sister's teasing this time, and looked expectantly at the man behind her: "Simon, my birthday is next Sunday, November 22, can you come to celebrate my birthday with me?"

Simon shook his head directly: "No."

The girl was not disappointed this time, instead, her youthful face showed a little more coquettishness: "Or, it's okay now."

As the girl said, she stuck a sticker behind her, flickering her eyes frantically hinting.

Simon put more strength on the arms of the girl in his arms, and interrupted the little elf's spellcasting: "Be good, the timing is wrong now," he simply ignored it, and turned to Vanessa next to him: "What have you been up to lately?"

Vanessa was thinking about how to sue her mother when she got home, and how she would definitely not give her younger sister a chance to grab a man from herself in the future. Hearing Simon's question, she quickly cheered up: "I'm negotiating a few roles these days, Simon , exactly, can you give me an idea?"

"Tell me first?"

"One is "The Talented Ripley" directed by Minghella, which is Daenerys' project, Simon, you must know."

Simon nodded.

Also happened to be chatting with Ella Deutschmann at the reception tonight.

After completing "The English Patient", Anthony Minghella has been preparing his favorite "The Talented Ripley" in recent years. It is adapted from a classic novel of the same name published in 1955. It tells the story of Tom, a commoner, who is entrusted by a wealthy businessman to persuade The other party's son Dicky, who was wandering in Italy, returned to the United States. After Tom got in touch with Dicky, he was deeply attracted by the luxury life of the upper class society where the other party lived, and finally had the extreme idea of ​​​​killing the other party and replacing him.

It used to be a relatively successful project, led by Miramax, and it was still an Oscar favorite that year.

The disadvantage is that the cost is too high, reaching 40 million US dollars. Although the total global box office exceeds 120 million, but including the investment in publicity and distribution, the theater stage can only be regarded as a breakeven.

Therefore, Simon's attitude this time is that the budget cannot exceed 30 million, otherwise he would rather not do it.

In fact, if Anthony Minghella did not propose this project himself, Simon would rather have Brian De Palma or David Fincher direct it. Minghella's style is too literary, and this is obviously not inferior. The crime thriller idea of ​​"Gone Girl" in memory.

Thinking of this, Simon asked Vanessa, "What role do you plan to play?"

"Of course it's the heroine," Vanessa said, "it's Dickie's girlfriend. However, this is a movie with a male protagonist, and the female protagonist doesn't have many roles."

Simon looked at Vanessa's small expression on whether she could add some drama to me, and said with a smile: "You can't change the roles randomly, otherwise it may be counterproductive. Moreover, even if there are not many roles, Minghella's movie is still very worthwhile. Participate, his "The English Patient" was nominated for a double Oscar for leading actress and supporting actress, just like Woody Allen, even if it is a small role, it is easy for an actress to shine, what you need most now is this."

Simon disagreed, and Vanessa cleverly did not make any entanglements. She nodded, remembered, and said, "The problem is, I have only participated in the audition, and I am not sure if I can get this role. Simon, you are now agreeing to me." ?"

"I'll take the time to look at the audition samples." Simon didn't agree immediately, and said with a smile: "As long as your performance is good enough, Minghella has no objections, of course it's yours."

"Thank you, Simon."

As Vanessa spoke, she leaned over, grabbed Simon's shoulders, and kissed the man before sitting back down again.

Simon ignored the little confrontation between the sisters when the girl from the sidelines approached, and asked, "Didn't you just say a few, what else?"
