When Linda Vargas left the "High School Musical" audition and rushed to Simon's office, Simon also happened to finish a meeting.
The guest is Victor Melisis from Africa.
Victor accompanied an investment investigation team from the Angolan government to the United States, and stopped by Simon to report on things in Africa.
After what happened in Rwanda three years ago, the apparent power of the Westeros system in Africa has been shrinking, but its actual expansion has never stopped.
Victor Melisis is one of the most eye-catching moves.
The Portuguese-Angolan white man has been quietly operating in Africa in recent years, with impressive results.
In addition to the vast coffee plantations covering an area of 600 square kilometers in southern Angola, which has gradually taken shape, foreign trade business from Africa to the United States, Europe and China has also developed rapidly. Victor Mericis has also established close ties with the Angolan government and began With the support of the Westeros system, he gradually became involved in Angola's oil and mining business.
These are just the surface.
On the other hand, under the good operation of Victor Melisis, through the training teams attached to the arms deal, private security companies, local mercenaries, etc., the Westeros system has quietly built an army in Angola that can be used at any time. Raise an armed force of 2,000 people.
Even, at a critical moment, by infiltrating the Angolan military, this number can quickly expand by more than 10 times as long as enough chips are given.
African lives are worthless, you can buy them with money.
During this meeting, in addition to discussing various businesses in Angola and further penetration, Simon mainly arranged one thing.
Regarding the Savimbi armed forces in southern Angola, which have reconciled and fallen out with the Angolan government many times.
In recent years, the Angolan government, which has purchased a large amount of arms with the help of the Westeros system, has continued to suppress Savimbi's armed forces. At present, the warlord leader's territory has long been separated from Simon's coffee plantation, and is increasingly shrinking in the southwest corner.
Simon's request is very simple. Find a way to let the warlord survive for a few more years, and then, at the right time, kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
This is something Simon has been considering for a long time. At the end of last year, after the Westeros Tower in Manhattan was topped out, his ideas became clearer and clearer.
Kill a chicken in Africa to scare some monkeys in the Middle East.
The general routine of the plan is also very simple.
A few years later, Savimbi's men would attack the Westeros family's coffee plantation without permission, causing some casualties. Then, although poor Mr. Savimbi didn't know about it, he took the initiative to apologize and make amends. The Wei family The private army will still decisively unite with the Angolan government forces and wipe out the other party neatly.
Moreover, in order to ensure a deterrent effect, Simon plans to kill more than just this chicken.
The meaning conveyed is also very simple.
Simon can't control anything else, but if someone dares to take action against the Westeros system, such as letting a plane hit the Westeros Tower, etc., even if there is even the slightest connection with this matter, no matter you are a warlord or a prince, no matter No matter how innocent you appear on the surface, if you are found out, you will not be able to escape the cruel revenge of the Westeros family.
Victor Melisis was not aware of Simon's thoughts, but Simon also instilled another concept called self-respect in raising enemies, so he very much agreed with Simon's decision.
Linda Vargas came here and happened to see her boss seeing Melisis off. After Simon saw him off, they walked to the small conference room with a projection screen next door.
The conversation then turned from Africa to Hollywood.
Girl A followed the door and helped operate the projector. Under Linda's explanation, Simon watched the audition videos of all the candidate actresses in "The Matrix" one by one.
Most of the faces are Asian, and Simon knows many of them, such as Aunt Mei in "The East Asian Heroes", Michelle Young in the still-released "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and others who are famous in the Hong Kong film industry. The Japanese action actress Yukari Oshima even hopes to break into Hollywood, but in Simon's opinion, Damei Seki and Damei Lee are more like just joining in the fun.
Frankly speaking, even the performances of the two beauties with many flaws were actually very good, and they were obviously carefully prepared. The problem is, Simon doesn't even feel for the character Trinity in The Matrix.
Beauty doesn't mean everything.
Even, seeing the audition of Guanda Beauty, Simon inexplicably thought of another woman, the mother of the Kardashian sisters, Kris Jenner.
Unlike later, when the whole family tanned so much that people couldn't tell their race, Kris Jenner, who is also very resistant to aging, is now in her early forties, and she is still fair and soft, making people want to rub her face when they see her. Beautiful woman. Moreover, it is obvious that at first glance, this woman is at least five points similar to Guan Damei. If you compare it with the short-haired Guan in "The Big Shot" in your memory, the similarity immediately rises to seven points.
What a wonderful fate.
Linda Vargas knew that her boss was very interested in Asian women in the past two years. After playing an audition video, she glanced at the slightly distracted men around her and reminded softly: "Simon, most of them are currently here." Los Angeles, can you call me and see me in person?"
Simon came to his senses when he heard Linda's voice and shook his head.
I'm too busy these days and don't have time.
Linda didn't say much and asked again: "Simon, what do you think?"
[Get cash red envelopes] You can get cash by reading books! Follow WeChat and official account [Book Friends Base Camp], cash/point coins are waiting for you!
Simon shook his head again: "No need to continue, just skip to Demi's audition."
Demi Moore's audition was obviously longer than other Asian actresses, and the content was richer, including starring opposite Keanu Reeves.
In order to match Trinity's look, Demi Moore has cut her hair short and dyed it black. She obviously wears makeup in every audition, and the effect is obvious at a glance.
In the end, Demi Moore also performed a very beautiful set of Chinese boxing techniques. Except that she was obviously unable to complete the high leg split, everything else was similar.
For a 35-year-old actress, Simon couldn't ask for more.
When the Demi Moore audition video was played, Linda obviously looked at her boss's expression more than before. Seeing Simon's satisfied look, she didn't rush to say anything. She was basically sure that this role was not for Demi Moore. ·Moore is the only one, so there is no need to deliberately say anything about it.
During this period of time, for this role, Demi Moore privately invited Linda seven or eight times to various events, and even gave her second daughter, who happened to have her 14th birthday a few days ago, a very valuable gift. one's gift. As a result, Linda had to warn the other party bluntly in the end not to go too far, otherwise they would both be unlucky. Out of her daughter's resentment, Linda also gave the two expensive purebred foals a one-time payment for 5 years. All the VIP members of Buyi Horse Racing Farm were sent back to Moore.
I really don’t dare to ask for it.
What's more, it's not like their family can't afford it.
However, she still agreed to that sentence after all. It’s not strange to be polite to many people. Moore is so attentive, and Linda doesn’t mind saying a few nice words to the other person if possible.
Of course, I will do what I can, and I will not deliberately hide and slander other actresses who have performed better for Moore.
The most important quality Linda relies on to be able to stay with Simon for so many years is reliability.
If her boss considers her unreliable, everything she has now will disappear quickly. Linda is very clear about the severity of this.
After Moore's audition video was played, Simon no longer hesitated and said directly to Linda: "It's Demi. You guys should get the contract as soon as possible. Remember it's a trilogy. In addition, let her keep training so that she can be herself in the future. As much as possible, the person taking the photo is still myself.”
Linda nodded, and showed a relieved expression, with a joking tone: "It's better now, Demi must be very happy. She has been very attentive to me during this time, always inviting me to eat and go shopping together, I don't Maybe I’m a little afraid of receiving a call from her even if I promise her anything.”
Simon understood why Linda said that, so he just smiled and dismissed it. He actually heard some news, mainly from the back and forth in the circle. If Demi Moore wanted to get a role, someone would naturally snipe and find ways to spread the news to Simon's ears.
Simon was very satisfied with Linda's proactive confession and said, "You can tell her the good news immediately later, and take it as a reward."
