In the reception room of the villa on the top of the mountain, when a group of about ten girls came chirping in, the leader, Elizabeth Jagger, threw herself directly on the sofa and put her arms around Simon's neck to question about "Blair Witch". Simon stopped talking to Zack Snyder. discussion.
Holding down Elizabeth to prevent the girl from shaking him, Simon finally told Schneider: "Your photography, art and music skills are all very good, Zach. The problem lies in the script and control of the movie plot. If you can make up for this, I believe you will become a director as good as Michael Bay and David Fincher. "Resident Evil" is a very thorough commercial film. This is exactly the reason why I give it to you. I hope you can put it aside. Open up the technical aspect, focus on the narrative attributes of the film, and tell a high-concept story smoothly.”
Elizabeth waited for Simon to get up and send Zack Snyder away and then sat down again. She immediately hugged his neck tightly and shook him again: "Dad, I really didn't expect you to lie to us. "Blair Witch" turned out to be a movie. Last time It’s so abominable that you didn’t reveal anything.”
Simon held Nikki Hilton, who was habitually next to him, in his arms. He glanced at Paris Hilton, the Kardashian sisters, Ivanka and other girls around him, and his eyes were still on a girl who appeared on him for the first time. The unfamiliar-looking girl in front of him paused for a moment, then passed her by. She didn't respond to Elizabeth's question. She just smiled and asked everyone: "Have you seen the movie? What did you think?"
Seeing that Simon was ignoring her, Elizabeth rushed to say: "It's very ordinary. It's not as good as "The Conjuring 3". That's a horror movie. This one is actually not that scary."
Nikki, who was curling up in Simon's arms like a kitten, with a red face, said, "It's not that scary. You hugged Ini so tightly during the movie and even screamed."
Ivanka, who was sitting on the single sofa next to her, also chimed in: "Yeah, she's even covering her eyes."
Elizabeth glared at Ivanka, then reached out and grabbed Nikki in Simon's arms, and said dissatisfied: "Hey, which side are you on?"
Nikki waved her little hand and giggled to block Elizabeth's clutches, and Ivanka even said simply: "I stand with Simon."
Elizabeth suddenly sighed with emotion: "Oh, my best friend is really unreliable in front of men. I have to reconsider whether to take you to play with me in the future."
After her sister was held in Simon's arms, Paris grabbed the seat on the other side of the man. At this time, she rubbed Simon's arm and said, "You don't need to take it with you. Yi Ni has 300 million US dollars now. She can do it too in the future." Take us out to play.”
Ivanka raised her chin slightly proudly.
Elizabeth suddenly became interested again, and she hugged Simon's neck and started shaking her again: "Dad, you are too biased. You gave Yi Ni so much money. I want it too. Can you give me 100 million?"
Simon said without hesitation: "No."
"Woo..."
Everyone ignored Elizabeth who was pretending to cry.
Kim Kardashian, who always finds it difficult to get too many opening opportunities from men, took the opportunity to pull over a girl who appeared in front of Simon for the first time to help introduce: "Simon, this is Alexandra Daddario, she I really want to be an actress, and I just played a role in a TV series recently, what do you think of her?"
After listening to Kardashian introduce herself, the girl who was a little reluctant to let go finally plucked up the courage to meet Simon's eyes. In fact, she had just noticed the man's eyes lingering on her for a while. At this time, she stood up and walked forward, taking the initiative to look at Simon. Stretching out his little hand: "Hello, Mr. Westeros, it's an honor to meet you."
Simon smiled and shook hands with the girl in front of him. He looked at the girl in front of him, who was about twelve or thirteen years old but was already a pretty girl. She had to say that these light-colored eyes were really easy to attract. Play: "Hello, Sanda, oh, Alexandra should be right to use this nickname, right?"
Daddario nodded: "Yes, Mr. Westeros."
After the girl finished speaking, she glanced around Simon. Neither Elizabeth nor the Hilton sisters had any intention of giving up their position to her. They were still looking at her with eager eyes, so they could only retreat and sit down next to the Kardashian sisters opposite.
After Kardashian introduced Daddario, Ivanka was not far behind and motioned to the other two strange girls to introduce: "Simon, these are the Hicks sisters, Mary, and Hope."
Simon greeted the two girls again and then reacted.
Hope Hicks
There should not be so many coincidences when this name is associated with Ivanka.
However, compared to Daddario, whose appearance at this time was almost the same as later, the little girl in her early ten years who was pulled by her sister Mary Hicks to greet Simon was different from the Hope Hicks in her memory. But nothing like it.
It only takes a little thought to understand.
Probably like Cara Delevingne in the UK, her name remains the same, but she is no longer the same person.
Although he found it interesting, Simon didn't express anything special.
He has met too many people, and given his current position, it is difficult for him to have any famous person in his previous life that could make his heart turbulent.
As Elizabeth listened to Kardashian and Ivanka each introduce the little followers they brought, she once again felt that her position was threatened, so she took over the conversation to talk to Simon again, still thinking about how to take back the initiative.
Simon had just chatted with a group of girls for a while when Girl A appeared at the door and reminded: "Boss, Greengrass and the others are already here?"
Several meetings were arranged in succession before the evening party. When Simon heard what Girl A said, he nodded and said, "Let them come in."
After saying that, he pushed up Nikki who was reluctant to leave, and said to Elizabeth: "I still have work, you take Nikki and the others to play."
"Dad, we want to go skiing, but there are many people at the ski resort."
Simon smiled and told Girl A who had not yet left the door: "Help them arrange a private ski resort."
"Dad, you're so kind." Elizabeth, who was still holding Simon's neck, came over and kissed him on the face, and then said: "But it's a bit late today and it's so cold. How about we play here and see you tomorrow?" Go skiing.”
"As you wish."
Elizabeth said: "I see that a party is being prepared outside. I am very good at party decoration. Dad, can I help too?"
Simon said indifferently: "Just don't make trouble."
So a group of girls, big and small, cheered and left the reception room.
Finding Carmen Case, who was in charge of party preparations, and in the name of Simon, Elizabeth began to point fingers enthusiastically.
Alexandra Daddario, who met the Kardashians by chance because she participated in the TV show Keeping Up with the Kardashians some time ago, has been following Kim Kardashian, full of curiosity about everything around her, and some small expectations.
Alexandra really wants to be a big star, so even if she doesn't really like the Kardashian sisters, she still takes the initiative to make friends with them, hoping that the Kardashian family's connections can help introduce her to more opportunities.
In fact, I have heard some rumors about these girls in the Manhattan circle, about Simon Westeros and the like.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true.
What’s more, I didn’t expect to meet Simon Westeros himself.
No wonder her parents didn't object after she expressed her wish to come to Park City for the weekend. Perhaps her parents, who also had access to some of Manhattan's upper-class circles, had heard some rumors.
The question is, what next
With all these random thoughts and worries about gains and losses, Daddario was unable to see Simon again until nightfall. However, after the party started, many celebrity faces that could only be seen on the big and small screens appeared in front of her one after another. The little girl who was looking forward to Vanity Fair was dazzled.
Kim Kardashian also had her own little thoughts when she brought Alexandra Daddario here.
I am very aware of the physical disadvantages of my sisters.
Even after their mother became famous with "Wives of New York", in order to make the sisters more photogenic, she secretly arranged some plastic surgery for them, and personally formulated a strict weight loss and shaping plan for them on a daily basis, but she still couldn't compare with Elizabeth. .
Like, the first time she broke up with her mother and that man. And then, that night at the oceanfront estate in San Lucas, Mexico. Although they were pulled forward to participate, the three sisters could only be regarded as adding to the fun, and the men never bothered to take possession of them.
Therefore, even after experiencing those things and their mother's stern warnings, the sisters never received the same treatment as Elizabeth or Ivanka when facing a certain man.
It's a flaw that they don't look good, because their father's genes are so bad.
So, after meeting Daddario, a little beauty, and quietly discussing it with her mother, Kim Kardashian began to make some attempts.
The sisters can only be regarded as followers in front of Elizabeth and other girls. If they also develop some followers themselves, with the resources their family currently has, they still have this ability. If these followers are beautiful enough to satisfy the man, they may be able to get more attention from him.
Because she had thought ahead, Kim Kardashian was also keen to catch when Simon showed some special attention to Daddario.
Explain that the strategy should be useful.
Of course, some situations were also discovered. Daddario was still young, which was a problem. However, now that this method has been proven to be effective, the next step is easy.
Lively party scene.
Everyone is thinking about fame, fortune and wealth, and Kim Kardashian is also thinking about it. She personally drags Daddario through the crowd. When she saw him in the indoor bar on the east side of the villa, A certain man stopped moving, waiting for the opportunity to come forward again.
Simon is still accustomed to gathering with some guests in the booth of the indoor bar, leaning on one side to the left and right to Nicole Kidman who is running to join in the fun and Demi Moore who will soon go to Australia to participate in the filming of "The Matrix" . Nicole is still single, but it doesn't matter. Demi Moore, who came to Park City alone to promote an independent film she starred in, didn't shy away from it at all. Others turned a blind eye to Moore's various little moves to deliberately get intimate with someone.
In addition, there are also Robert Redford, the founder of the Sundance Film Festival, Amy Acker and Rachel McAdams, the two heroines of "The Blair Witch Project", and the popular "Wonder Woman" in recent years. Famke Janssen, director James Mangold who came out of Sundance, supermodels Daniela Pusteva and Heidi Klum and other famous celebrities.
The booth space is limited, and many people around are waiting for some people here to get up. Unfortunately, most of them have no intention of moving. Even Simon Westeros himself seems too lazy to get up and move around. Everyone can only wait and look forward to it.
Robert Redford is talking about some of his concerns about Sundance: "Simon, maybe I'm a little blunt, but you must have discovered that in recent years, more and more films shortlisted for Sundance have come from Mainstream Hollywood studios, this is very detrimental to Sundance’s strategy of supporting new directors, I think we should think of some ways?”
When everyone heard what Redford said, they all looked at Simon.
Expressions vary.
In fact, I still have some slander in my heart. Sundance is so prosperous now, to a large extent, it is the result of the active support of major Hollywood studios, especially Daenerys Entertainment, the largest Hollywood studio, and, in recent years, A Westerosi villa party that has become a fixture.
Without these, how could such a mini film festival in a run-down town attract so many filmmakers
You know, in the 1980s, in the early years of its rise, it was almost universally known that Sundance almost failed several times in a row until Simon's "Run Lola Run" came out.
There are gains and there are losses.
In fact, just like Hollywood stars, once they star in blockbuster movies and become some big names, unless they have other purposes such as winning awards, it is unlikely that they will star in ultra-low movies with a budget of only one or two million US dollars. cost movie.
Sundance is a big star right now.
Simon understands Redford's mood, mainly because he knows the Hollywood actor better.
Even though Redford initially planned the Sundance Film Festival, he actually had the intention of stimulating the ski resort and resort business he invested here. However, later on, the veteran Hollywood actor did invest a lot of effort in this film festival. to the point of slowing down his film career to a great extent.
Simon certainly understands the current situation at Sundance.
However, frankly speaking, there is nothing he can do to prevent Sundance from becoming more commercialized and certain trends that will follow the entry of giants.
After thinking about it for a moment, Simon said to Redford: "Bob, I understand your worries, but you should also be able to see that Sundance has continued to produce many outstanding new directors and actors in recent years, such as this year's Zara Gram, as well as Nolan last year, and Quentin before that. This is enough to show that Sundance’s original intention of supporting new talents has not been changed. Frankly speaking, what has changed is that some weaker small companies are beginning to pay attention. There are not so many opportunities in front of big studios in this field, such as Daenerys Entertainment. This does not mean that newcomers have no opportunities. We need to admit that big studios can give newcomers more abundant resources and better quality products. Platform, there’s nothing wrong with that, right?”
