The two sat opposite the sofa in the corner of the hall, but Michael Ovitz didn't speak for a while, with obvious unwillingness in his expression.

Simon didn't rush, and looked at the crowd around him casually, feeling the melodious string music coming from the dance floor.

A tall blond woman in a white one-shoulder dress noticed the silence between Simon and Ovitz, thought for a while, and tentatively walked over to greet Simon, "Hi, Mr. Westeros."

This woman is really tall, and wearing high heels is even more than 1.90 meters.

Simon raised his head and smiled at the woman, and said, "Hi, Miss Hall."

There was a surprised expression on the woman's face, mixed with just the right amount of joy: "Mr. Westeros, do you know me?"

"Mick's girlfriend, Jerry Hall, right?" Simon patted next to him with an inexplicable smile on his face, and said, "Didn't Mick come tonight?"

"He's in England," Jerry Hall responded casually, sat down beside Simon, nodded politely to Ovitz, turned his attention to Simon again, and found a topic: "Weiss Mr. Tello, did you hear that Batman is about to finish its post-production?"

"Yeah, besides, just call me Simon."

Simon nodded in response, thinking that Jerry Hall played the gangster's wife disfigured by the Joker in Keaton's first Batman, and thought it was very interesting. At the same time, I have to say that this woman who has been able to trap Mick Jagger, the main creator of the romantic Rolling Stones, for many years is really beautiful. At this time, her appearance in her early thirties is at the peak of her appearance.

"It's really an honor, Simon," Jerry Hall changed his tune, approached without a trace, and said, "You can also call me Jerry."

The figure of a small mouse with big ears appeared in Simon's mind, and said with a smile: "It sounds like a boy's name."

"There's no way. There are five sisters in our family. Dad wants to be crazy about a boy."

"Has his wish come true?"

"No."

Simon showed a sympathetic look.

After chatting and laughing, noticing that Ovitz was a little impatient, Simon raised his glass to Jerry Hall and said, "Jerry, Mr. Ovitz and I have something to talk about."

Jerry Hall took out a business card from Kun's bag and handed it over generously, saying, "I'll be in Los Angeles these days, Simon, maybe we can find time to have coffee together."

Simon took the woman's business card and nodded, "Okay."

Seeing that Simon didn't mean to leave a business card for himself, Jerry Hall got up with interest, and nodded to Ovitz again.

Michael Ovitz ignored the woman who had just left, watched the young man on the other side casually put the business card into his shirt pocket, and finally said, "Simon, Barry, the four of them all transferred to wma, and the unpleasantness of everyone in the past is over. ,what do you think?"

Simon had guessed a lot about Ovitz's response, but he didn't expect him to come up with such a solution.

However, letting Barry Levinson and others all jump to wma seems to be the best way to resolve the grievances between the two sides. Simon's close relationship with wma is well known. By doing so, Ovitz can also protect the careers of his clients to the greatest extent possible.

However, Simon didn't mean to nod and said, "Michael, in fact, I'm not a very vengeful person, and I won't send someone with a baseball bat to force the opponent into the alley and beat him because of a few arguments. You want to I understand that with the resources I have now, if I want to target a person, his end will never be very good. However, I am not a person who is good at forgiving. Those guys who have provoked me, all I ask is that they will always be forever. Don't show up in my sight again."

"Simon, Barry, they don't appear in front of your eyes every day."

"Michael, you should know what I mean, most of Hollywood is in my field of vision now. Of course, there are still some corners left, and I don't plan to look at them. It's too perfect. So, they can stay there."

Michael Ovitz thinks of Paramount.

If the young man in front of him is willing to give up the rift caused by the robbing of the two scripts, Paramount will definitely not mind falling back to Daenerys Entertainment.

Maybe MGM, or even the increasingly declining Orion, but he's clearly not going to do that.

Just to not strive for perfection.

In the past few contacts, Michael Ovitz can realize that Simon is a person with perfectionist tendencies. Now, when a perfectionist stops striving for perfection, it doesn't necessarily mean that the person is sloppy or depraved, he may become stronger.

After all, nothing is perfect in this world.

After a moment of silence again, Ovitz finally said a little sullenly: "Simon, Barry and the others leave caa, will things be over?"

Simon nodded: "caa has many excellent filmmakers, and I'm actually looking forward to working with you."

Now that the decision has been made, Ovitz no longer hesitates, saying: "In this case, you must also ensure that wma will no longer dig people from caa."

"It's impossible for me to agree to something like this, Michael, I'm only close to Jonathan, and wma is not my company. This is a competition between your talent agencies."

It is actually beneficial to Simon to maintain the state of competition among the major talent agencies. Of course, he cannot limit the

control this.

Michael Ovitz also realized something, no more words, got up and stretched out his hand to Simon, and the two shook hands, tacitly reaching a tacit understanding. Leaving the party hall, Ovitz got into the car waiting outside the Four Seasons Hotel and dialed the numbers of Barry Levinson and several others directly from the car phone.

Simon didn't know how Ovitz communicated with Barry Levinson, but the next day Hollywood spread the word about Barry Levinson, Dustin Hoffman, Tom Cruise and Meg · Ryan's four first-line filmmakers are about to leave the news of caa.

Things were quickly confirmed by caa.

However, the official caliber to the outside world is that the four of Barry Levinson chose to leave caa for their own career development.

Then, Barry Levinson quickly revealed his new project with Paramount Pictures, "Avalon," with a budget of $15 million and planned for release next year.

Dustin Hoffman said he intends to take a year off from film and rush to the UK to perform on stage. There was news in the circle that Hoffman's role in Warren Beatty's new film "The Detective" in collaboration with Disney has been completely deleted.

Tom Cruise's manager Paula Wagner, who quit the caa along with her client, announced the creation of Cruise-Wagner Productions through a Los Angeles Times announcement.

Meg Ryan, who just became popular last year with "When Harry Met Sally", is the least fundamental of the four.

After the incident, Meg Ryan's public relations manager also announced his resignation immediately, and Hollywood talent agencies, big and small, had no intention of extending an olive branch to her. Sister acts as its agent and public relations spokesperson.

Immediately, a paparazzi found that Meg Ryan's boyfriend Dennis Quaid, who had been with him for more than a year, and another unknown actress appeared in a bar in West Hollywood intimately. Faced with the paparazzi's questioning, Dennis Quaid admitted frankly She recently broke up with Meg Ryan.

Compared to the Michael Ovitz 'Infantry Soldier' ​​incident, which is still being beaten piecemeal by the media, Barry Levinson and the four left caa, the major North American mainstream newspapers have shown an abnormal silence, appearing in their pages. It's just a few official press releases that don't hurt.

Most of the public, who is not sensitive to gossip, sees relevant news and only thinks that these people may choose to leave caa because they are dissatisfied with Ovitz, who has recently been criticized by the media.

Of course, there is never a shortage of tabloids in the circle that want to hype big news to attract attention, but these newspapers usually have very low attention, and they don’t dare to blatantly pick out the inside story, but only half-covered hints. .

Speaking carefully, the tabloids actually know better about what kind of people can provoke and what kind of people can’t.

If Simon Westeros is just a pure director, no problem with the hype.

Public figures are for speculation.

However, when the director was still a super-rich man with a fortune of billions of dollars and his own hands in Hollywood, in order to avoid being accused of bankruptcy, the gossip newspapers did not dare to be too blatant.

As for Hollywood, in the face of media questions about their views on the events of Barry Levinson and others leaving caa, even the stars who used to be called big mouths are silent.

This time Simon Westeros is almost an understatement, but it really makes many people realize that after the era of the big studio, another powerful Hollywood figure who can truly be called a "tycoon" was born.

Over the years, the executives of various studios have basically maintained a flattering attitude towards Hollywood A-list stars in order to win over each other to star in their own films. Even big shots like Steve Ross have tried their best to make friends with them. Good Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, Barbra Streisand and others.

Now, Simon Westeros not only did not lower his stance and took the initiative to befriend the stars, but instead shot down several of Hollywood's hottest first-line celebrities.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that as long as Simon Westero does not let go, even Barry Levinson, Dustin Hoffman, Tom Cruise and Meg Ryan can still rely on their previous fame. Stuck in Hollywood, but without the resources that were once easily accessible, these people's careers are destined to decline.

Several of the parties accepted the reality with dismay, did not openly challenge Simon Westero, and also understood their situation.

In the end, Simon Westeros didn't do everything right after all, and if he jumped out to provoke him at this time, it would mean that he couldn't live with himself. In the days that followed, when I saw a young man who seemed to be always flat and modest without a trace of aggression, even some stars who were accustomed to rebelliousness couldn't help but feel a bit of awe in their hearts.

Things always come and go.

The inside story of the departure of Barry Levinson and others from caa is still whispering in the circle, and the release of the Forbes 400 richest people in North America in the new year immediately triggered another public opinion storm.
