Chapter 1545: The Proud Son of Runway
Regarding Project Runway, there is another America's Next Top Model contest that appeared around the same time, and the two shows have always been on Simon's list of plans.
The timing hadn't been right before, and Simon didn't take it out.
After all, as a women's channel, USA had several good platforms in the past few years.
Now, the time has come.
For example, last year, Desperate Housewives officially ended, and the popularity of the other Wife series and Sex and the City inevitably weakened, so new popular programs were needed to support the ratings.
After the success of the original fashion workshop, Hall has been in the TV circle in recent years. Although he has not been able to come up with any phenomenal and popular projects, the several programs he has produced as a producer are relatively popular. Welcome to that kind, the grades are above average. In fact, this is considered normal in the industry. As for the phenomenal level, luck is needed.
Hearing the man suddenly talk about new ideas, Jerry Hall didn't even want to run. He pressed the treadmill, wiped his sweat with the towel that was just wrapped around his neck, and asked, "Simon, tell me carefully."
Although it is possible to spend this man's money, Jerry Hall has never given up on her career these years. She is a very realistic person. She has come from a small farm in a small place step by step, and she knows very well that nothing but herself They are all unreliable. The man suddenly came up with an idea. If she can reach the level of the Wife series, she will no longer have any suspense for her career in at least five years.
Simon was not in a hurry, he continued to run, and said with a smile, "I'll tell you at breakfast."
When the man said so, Hall could only hold back his expectations temporarily, smiled at Simon, stepped off the treadmill, and said, "Then I'll take a shower, and breakfast will be ready soon, so don't run for too long."
"Um."
Hearing Simon's promise, Hall turned and walked out of the gym. Before leaving, he still made a look at his eldest daughter.
Elizabeth was still staring at her cheap father, and happened to not notice her mother's eyes. When Hall left, the little girl suddenly showed an arrogant expression: "Dad, I didn't tell anyone last night."
Simon nodded with a smile, very decisively: "Buy!"
Nizi blinked her eyes, but also came to her senses, and immediately leaned forward with a smile: "I want a sports car, and I also have a driver's license that I got in advance."
"The sports car can be given to you, but it must wait until you turn 16 next year."
Elizabeth pouted immediately, paused, still didn't insist, but quickly said: "Also, Victoria's Secret Show, at least the 2001 edition, I want to participate," she said, turning pitifully, with little hands Leaning on the edge of the treadmill console and staring at someone: "Dad, you can't just watch me being pushed farther and farther by Yi Ni, can you, you will lose face like this, right?"
Simon didn't really care, and said, "As long as you can convince your mother."
"Mom definitely agrees." The girl suddenly wanted to jump up happily, restrained her jump, suddenly felt that this is really a very good opportunity, it is unreasonable not to blackmail more, so she said again: " Dad, I saw your yacht last time I was at the show in Venice."
"Um?"
"I wonder if it's okay to have another small yacht. Well, about 100 feet long."
"It's okay to buy it for you," Simon said still very well. "The question is, do you think you can afford a yacht?"
Elizabeth flickered her eyes for a moment, and said as a matter of course: "Didn't you help me raise it, Dad?"
Simon shook his head: "Since you want me to buy it for you, of course you have to raise it yourself."
"Well." Elizabeth pouted again, feeling a little bit reconciled for a moment, and finally gave in voluntarily: "Then, Dad, if I want to go out to sea with a yacht, you must lend it to me."
"good."
Another victory, the girl feels that she can make persistent efforts.
Simon looked at Nizi's little expression in front of him and said with a smile, "Are you thinking about what else you want?"
Elizabeth smirked: "Hey."
Simon also smiled: "I think, instead of being blackmailed by you constantly, maybe it should be solved once and for all. What do you think, how about killing people and silence?"
The girl's eyes widened immediately, and then she shrank her neck and pretended to be pitiful: "Dad, it's too cruel."
"There are more ruthless ones," Simon said with a smile, "After killing people and killing people, they destroy the corpses and wipe out the traces. One of them is to freeze people at a low temperature of minus 70 degrees Celsius. You know, the human body will be as frozen as a stone." Same."
The girl still opened her eyes slightly, subconsciously said: "And then?"
"Then, press it into powder in a frozen state," Simon said in a slightly lowered voice, and suddenly reached out and picked the chin of the girl who poked his head: "Finally, like ashes, you will be scattered into the sea, and you will disappear completely." .”
Elizabeth really shrank her neck a little this time, and then realized that her cheap dad was obviously scaring herself. She glared at someone, but didn't dare to make further progress, turned and left the gym.
When I came to the kitchen on the first floor, I found my mother who was instructing the waiter to prepare breakfast. Elizabeth was about to step forward and hug Hall to act like a baby. By the way, when she saw her daughter appear, Hall was Immediately pulled her again immediately, came to the storage room next door, raised his hand and knocked on the girl's head door: "No matter what you saw last night, don't say a word, or I will drive you out!" ,Understand?"
Elizabeth blinked, a little dazed.
This, even if you know that your cheap dad is a playboy,
Even if I know my mother knows that my cheap father is a playboy, but how could my mother know what happened last night?
Seeing that the girl was in a daze, Hall directly reached out and grabbed his daughter's face and shook her head: "Did you hear me when I spoke?"
Hall is still very dignified with the children on weekdays. Seeing his mother's sharp eyesight and her usual gentle tone, Elizabeth nodded quickly: "Mom, I will remember, I, I promise." Said He also gave evidence by himself: "Last night, Paris and the others were here. After I saw it, I didn't say a word to them. I know what to say and what not to say."
After hearing his daughter finish speaking, Hall stared at her eyes for a while, finally nodded in satisfaction, glanced at the door of the storage room, confirmed that the door was closed tightly, and was not in a hurry to get out, then looked at his daughter again, and put Slowed down his voice and said: "Baby, you have to know that if you talk about Simon's things, it won't do him any harm, and we will be in trouble. You can live in such a mansion now, and you can still live in such a mansion." Gaining a firm foothold in the fashion circle has nothing to do with your stingy biological father, it was all given by Simon, understand?"
Elizabeth nodded like a chicken pecking at rice again: "Yeah."
Hall slowed down a little more, pulled his daughter into his arms and hugged him, and suddenly he was a little happy again: "There is one more thing, I told Simon, next, you may have another brother or sister, by the time At that time, it is actually very legitimate for you to call him dad again, and he will become our long-term support."
Elizabeth, of course, understood the meaning of her mother's words, raised her head to look at her mother in surprise, broke away from her mother's arms, and looked down at Hall's belly.
Hall knocked on his daughter's forehead again: "Not yet, but there will definitely be." As he spoke, he couldn't help touching his lower abdomen, remembered something, and became a little more serious again, telling his daughter: " Also, in the future, don't get too close to Simon, it's inappropriate."
Elizabeth blinked her eyes, and of course she understood. Just as she was about to retort subconsciously, she suddenly remembered the Hilton sisters and Kim Kardashian who were still in her bedroom, as well as the two last night, um, two.
So I was a little excited.
Obviously, I used to play with fire.
After confirming that his daughter understood everything she should understand, Hall couldn't help but give a few more words before leaving the storage room.
However, he was pulled again.
Elizabeth took her mother's arm and walked out together, still couldn't help it, and said softly: "Mom, last night, that was Mo."
Hall was about to open the sliding door, but had to stop again, and knocked on his daughter's forehead again: "Did I just say nothing?"
Elizabeth covered her forehead aggrievedly: "Mom, I know, I'm just talking to you."
Hall's eyes turned serious again: "Remember, if you shouldn't say it, just forget it, even if it's me, don't say it, understand?"
The girl can only nod: "Understood."
"Um?"
Elizabeth made a standing posture, serious: "I really understand."
The breakfast was very lively. Hall deliberately chose the largest restaurant in his family. After waking up, a group of chatterers, including his own children, surrounded the long dining table to the brim.
Elizabeth didn't squeeze next to someone this time, but sat down next to her mother.
Occasionally glancing at sisters Nikki and Paris sitting next to someone on the other side, and Kim Kardashian across the dining table, the girl's thoughts will inevitably drift away, do they know it?
Surely I don't know.
However, the sisters of Jin and the others are fine, and the two girls of Nikki are a little irritated when they think about it. Although, in the past, she always deliberately got close to a certain cheap father, but she never thought that certain things would happen. Now, it turned out that it really happened, but it didn't happen to her.
In any case, the more you think about it, the more exciting it is.
It's a pity, thinking about what my mother said, this kind of thing must be buried in my stomach for a lifetime, and I feel that I can't say it. It's just that, thinking and thinking, it's ridiculous that my own cheap dad is really ridiculous.
Simon didn't care about a girl's constant vigor, and I believe that the very smart Hall can handle it well. Moreover, there were dozens of guests here last night, even if it is definitely impossible to see the scene, but be more careful Yes, maybe some clues can be found.
However, unless it is a little girl like Elizabeth who can't hide her thoughts, as an adult, as long as she has a little brain, she will know what to do.
Simon is no one else. If rumors spread, he can trace the source. Some people must understand this. Therefore, it is bad luck to chew your tongue.
It's Saturday, November 6th.
After breakfast and saying goodbye to Hall, Simon has a full day's schedule as usual.
First of all, the end of the year is approaching, and the winter break is approaching. Many programs in the autumn season of TV will end temporarily in the next period of time, and all aspects of the results need to be paid attention to.
In addition, there are some political and military matters. In the afternoon, two consecutive meetings were held with the two teams of Joseph Schlapp and Celia Miller.
In terms of politics, 2000 is not far away, and it is another election year.
After so many years, after confirming that they are absolutely credible, some of Simon's plans are mainly about the support of the Westeros system next year, which is no longer Al Gore of the Democratic Party, but George Bush of the Republican Party. On this point, Simon did not impose on Joseph Rapp and Paul Spaitz both concealed.
Of course, it is limited to the most core two.
this one
The field cannot be put on the table for the time being, so what the two of them have to do is also very simple. For next year's general election and the election of members, they will still operate as much as possible. However, in the presidential election, if we respond negatively here, we can basically achieve the results Simon wants to see.
military aspect.
During this time, Simon has been paying close attention to the Chechen war.
After the official launch in early October, this time, the Russian military is really not in a hurry. It has pulled out most of the military points near Grozny, the capital of Chechnya, and is slowly encircling Grozny.
Catch a turtle in an urn.
According to the deduction here, Grozny will be completely encircled at the end of November, and an attack will be launched in December. Everything goes well. The war will probably end in January next year.
At that time, as long as the Kremlin side wants to finish it, it can do it at any time.
Even without direct communication, Moscow's strategy is not difficult to guess. The war can't end too early, but it can't be delayed until the general election is still going on. Therefore, it is best to declare Chechnya's complete pacification when the general election is approaching, and then withdraw all Russian troops, leaving only the pro-Russian armed forces in Chechnya to be responsible. Maintain order. Only in this way can it be considered a perfect ending.
As long as there are no major changes, such as the U.S. military's sudden insanity and direct intervention, otherwise, everything will basically go smoothly.
On the Westeros system, even if the Ukrainian private army is relatively close to Chechnya, this time, Simon has made a decision in advance and will not intervene resolutely, just watching with a cold eye. Therefore, there is no such thing as the Westeros system in Chechnya.
In the meeting on Saturday afternoon, apart from the Chechen side, Simon and Celia mainly discussed the military deployment arrangements in Africa.
Starting next year, the Westeros system will further increase its investment in Africa. Simon has never believed that only relying on contracts or even more illusory friendships can ensure his own interests. Therefore, military penetration in Africa will also be strengthened.
