After the eye-catching catwalk, the after-party was held directly on another lawn of the Guggenheim Estate.
Simon was the natural life of the party.
Facing the green gazes of a group of goblins, big and small, Sophia, who was originally staying next to Simon, had to take the initiative to retreat, otherwise she would definitely cause public outrage. Although, Sofia is not afraid of the public wrath of these goblins, but the pressure is still quite high.
Simon couldn't socialize calmly, so he simply found an open-air sofa in the corner of the party and sat around it, drinking and chatting, and letting the women around him come and go.
Sitting on a couch on one side of the ring against the green vine fence, Lena Kane snuggled into Simon's arms and chatted a few words about her thoughts on tonight's show, then quickly turned to the movie.
"There is a big difference between the production of blockbusters and small-budget independent films. This time I participated in "Public Enemy" and I learned a lot from Jerry. He is indeed a gold medal producer in Hollywood. By the way, Simon, You really plan to let "Public Enemy" be released next Easter. I think it's a shame. It could have been put in the summer."
Simon held a glass of red wine and sipped it occasionally, and put his other hand around Lina's waist. Hearing this, he said: "You must have seen how fierce the competition is this summer. Easter is just in time. If it weren't for the excellent sample, I would have thought Put it on Valentine’s Day next February.”
"Then it's Easter," Lena said immediately. After hearing the man just mention the samples, she added: "Speaking of the samples, Simon, what do you think of Jesse's performance?"
“Excellent, beyond my expectations.”
What we are talking about here is of course Jessica Chastain, the heroine of the new version of "Public Enemy".
Simon was not polite either.
Although she was discovered many years in advance, in the ongoing filming of "Public Enemy", Jessica Chastain's performance indeed exceeded expectations, vividly showing the heroine temperament that Simon remembered.
Lena obviously thought so too, saying, "Everyone thinks Jesse's performance is really great, and we have recently discussed adding some scenes opposite Jesse and Harrison." At this point, Lena paused for a moment before continuing: " Too bad Harrison didn’t agree.”
Different from the original "Public Enemy" starring Will Smith and Gene Hackman, the new version of "Public Enemy" is a year-old combination of Harrison Ford and Jessica Chastain.
Simon felt the elements of complaint and lobbying in Lina's tone, but he did not respond immediately. Instead, he smiled and said, "You have to learn this too."
Lina blinked: "Yes, remember."
Learning is naturally Harrison Ford's way of ensuring his status as the male protagonist as much as possible.
Harrison Ford refused to increase his role with Jessica Chastain, naturally out of considerations of protecting his role in the film.
In fact, this is because Jessica is only the heroine. Otherwise, Harrison Ford may take more measures, just like in "Raiders of the Lost Ark" back then. In order to prevent the rising star River Phoenix from overpowering him, not only In the film, and even in the promotion of the film, Harrison Ford intervened to minimize Phoenix's exposure.
Hollywood is a competitive killing field.
No matter what type of persona you set up for yourself in front of the public, in fact, those who are soft-hearted, humble, and do not know how to fight with others to the bitter end will find it difficult to climb to the top of the pyramid.
Therefore, people who are familiar with the Hollywood circle often find it difficult to avoid the feeling that the behavior of many big names is actually worse than the others, with all kinds of unreasonableness, all kinds of overt and covert fights, and all kinds of horse-grabbing. , all kinds of suppression, regardless of men or women.
To take a random example, the "Fast and Furious" series shouts "We Are Family", but the backstage scenes where you come and go are definitely a hundred times more exciting than the increasingly boring frontstage scenes.
Seeing Lena nodding, Simon thought for a moment and said, "Take the time to send me a revised plan. If I think it's good, I can add some scenes to Jesse. However, this movie still has to focus on Harrison, and Jesse Even if Xi performs well, he still lacks box office appeal."
"Then I will give you the information tomorrow, um, the day after tomorrow," Lina finished, then added: "Simon, I remember you said before that you have other good pseudo-documentary ideas, the kind with higher production standards, Tell me?"
Simon didn't expect Lina to still be thinking about this, and said with a smile: "It's very simple. For example, a group of young people are holding an engagement party, and suddenly an alien invasion breaks out. Everyone flees. The whole process is recorded, and it becomes a movie. The movie, well, it could be called The XX Files or something like that.”
Of course Simon is talking about "Cloverfield".
This is also a pseudo-documentary film with a production cost of 25 million US dollars and a global box office of close to 200 million. It is definitely a big hit.
Lena Kane thought for a moment and said: "It's a very good idea, but an alien invasion movie like "Days of Independence", even if it is produced in the pseudo-documentary mode, will cost at least 20 million, so the risk is a bit high. So far this year, there are 9 pseudo-documentary movies entering theaters in North America. Except for "Blair Witch" in February, there is only one other movie with a box office of more than 20 million."
Simon said: "So we have to wait. In recent years, there have been too many pseudo-documentary movies, and the audience will be very tired. Except for the two series of "Ghost" and "The Witch", we should not do anything else for the time being."
"Yeah," Lina nodded in agreement, but then asked: "In addition to alien invasion, is there anything else?"
“There is an outbreak of a zombie virus,” Simon said, “For example, a reporter plans to film a documentary about the daily life of firefighters, following the fire brigade into a burning building, discovering that a zombie virus has broken out in the building, and then escaping desperately. "
What I’m talking about here is the Spanish classic mockumentary “Death Video” that I remember.
It was obviously impossible for Lena Kane to know why the men around her were so easy to pick up. Her eyes were bright: "This is good. The cost is lower than alien invasion, but it is definitely more exciting."
Seeing Lina's eagerness to try, Simon warned again: "Don't rush, wait a few years."
"Know."
With that said, Lina was about to continue when a fragrant and soft body came over behind Simon. She looked up and saw that it was Eve's sister, Ludmila Besonoskova.
The little goblin smiled and rubbed his face against Simon's ear, and said coquettishly in Russian: "Simon, what are you talking about?"
Simon raised his hand to hold the girl down to prevent her from shaking him, and said with a smile: "Use English here, don't let everyone understand what you are saying."
"I don't care, as long as you understand Simon."
Lyudmila said, squeezing over from behind the sofa, and directly squeezed Quan Youzhen away from Simon, who was quietly treating him like a vase before he could even say a few words. After sitting down, he pulled the man to stand up: " Simon, shall we go dancing?”
"No, I'm a 30-year-old man and I can't dance."
"Haha, Simon, you are not an old man, you are my most handsome, strongest, talented and manly man."
Simon smiled: "The main thing is that I have money."
"Super rich," Lyudmila said with a smile, then grabbed the red wine in Simon's hand, brought it to her mouth and took a sip. She also obviously deliberately put lipstick on the goblet and sent it back to the man's mouth. Bian: "Simon, when will you go to Ukraine next time? My sister misses you so much?"
"Go if you have time."
"Then you will never have time," Lyudmila complained, and in a blink of an eye she hugged the man's arm again: "Simon, how about we leave now, I'm hungry, let's go eat together," she said and showed a seductive face Charming little expression: "Then you're eating me."
Simon tilted his head slightly to push away the girl's little head: "Not interested."
"Well, Simon, you always do this, I'll find another man."
"Look for it. If you find it, I will give you a dowry."
"Woo..."
Seeing that the girl was about to rub her shoulder, Simon threatened: "Maybe I'll help you find a group of girlfriends, just tonight."
Lyudmila's slender body suddenly trembled slightly, and she subconsciously stepped away. She realized that the man was teasing her and pouted, but she was really afraid that someone would get up and run away after a few words of coquettishness on a whim.
Lina, who was watching all this with a smile, waited for Lyudmila to run away, chatted with Simon for a few words, and then took the initiative to get up.
So as not to provoke public wrath.
The couch where Simon was sitting on was large enough to seat five or six people and continued to change people, coming and going, and soon the Hilton sisters were on the left and the right, and next to them were the Kardashian sisters.
This summer, when the summer movie season is in full swing, the reality show launched by the Hilton family was also broadcast on USA TV. The name was also given by Simon, and it was named "Walking with the Hiltons" in a very naughty way.
However, the protagonists are more of the three sisters Cathy Hilton, or to be precise, the three Richards sisters, and the two younger ones, Paris and Nikki.
Five women and one drama.
During the summer TV off-season, this reality show had an average audience of more than 5 million, which was better than many of the second-tier branches of USA's current popular Housewives series, and it was considered an instant hit.
Planning for the second season has already begun.
Considering that the popular period in spring and autumn is mainly the Housewives series, as well as "Wives of New York" in which the Hilton family participates, the new "Walking with the Hiltons" will continue to be the mainstay of the summer.
Supporting two popular reality shows at the same time, the Hilton family's fame has reached its peak.
Cathy Hilton is also a very business-minded person. In addition to reality shows, she has also created a series of fashion brands and conducted a large number of business cooperation. Some media predict that the Hilton family's annual income will exceed 20 million US dollars in 1998. If this continues , it is only a matter of time before the total assets of this family exceed that of Barron Hilton, the current head of the Hilton family.
For people in the industry, while they are envious, many people also understand.
It’s because of the boss!
However, the main rumor is that the two little girls of the Hilton family are very popular with Simon Westeros. According to Westerners, they are like godfathers.
In fact, the Jenner family, another pillar family of "Wives of New York," also has this rumor.
It is said that the names of the two youngest daughters of the Jenner family, Kendall and Kylie, were given by Simon Westeros, and they were almost godfather-like. However, this is just a rumor. There must be nothing to say about the two little ones who are still breastfeeding. Many people are more willing to believe that Kris Jenner is bragging and casually getting close to Simon Westeros.
Of course Simon would not admit or clarify anything.
Speaking of which, "Keeping Up with the Hiltons" obviously stole the luck of the Kardashians. Now the Hiltons are steadily suppressing the Kardashians, just like when Kim Kardashian was just Paris Hilton. Like a follower.
Simon was just curious.
Will Kardashian be able to make a comeback in the future like she did in the past
At least for now, the Kardashians, who are also TV celebrities, are clearly happy with their situation.
Because there is no famous Simpson murder case in this time and space, and Kris Jenner’s ex-husband Robert Kardashian has not become famous because he once served as Simpson’s lawyer, Simon gives an opportunity to a man who only wants to rely on marriage to get married. A former stewardess who helped rich people live a good life became rich herself and became a social celebrity. She was considered successful and famous, so she really had no dissatisfaction.
Even though he was suppressed by the Hilton family, subconsciously he felt that this was a matter of course.
After all, Hilton hotels are all over the world. Even if the Hilton family is actually less and less related to the Hilton Hotel Group, this is reputation. Anyway, no one has heard of Kardashian Hotel or Jenner Hotel.
The current position of the group of girls around Simon undoubtedly proves the status difference between these girls.
Even though they had some quite secret taboo relationships with Simon Westeros in private, the Kim Kardashian sisters did not have the slightest confidence to be proud of their favor, mainly because they had no favor at all.
Looking back on the intermittent times, they were just a casual pastime of some superior man.
Anyway, there is no point in being jealous, because there are two men named Hilton next to them, and they look so lovable. But, although they are lovable, the two girls do not lack their own troubles.
Sitting next to Simon intimately, the topic was about height.
A girl's height is actually not that important. As the saying goes, if she is tall she is called tall, if she is short she is called petite. There is always a saying.
I'm just afraid of comparing myself to others.
The group of goblins on the catwalk tonight were all about six feet tall. They had a huge impact on two little girls who were both in their early sixties, especially Elizabeth Jagger among them. As a best friend, Elizabeth, who is two years younger than Paris, is already over 175 centimeters tall and can be on the catwalk. The two girls are inevitably more envious.
There's no way around it.
The main reason is that the genes on the mother's side are not strong. Among the three Richards sisters, the tallest, Cathy Hilton, is only barely 1.6 meters tall. The other two are both about 1.5 meters tall and petite.
As for the two girls, they are restricted by their mother's genes. Even if their father is not short, they will stop growing when they reach 1.7 meters.
"Now Nikki and I are taking growth hormone every week. However, it seems a little late and the effect is not very good. It has been more than half a year and I have only grown 1 inch. Simon, you must have something to do, right?" wrong?"
"Growth hormone is currently the most effective way to increase height, and most of the others are lies," Simon said, holding Nikki next to him on his lap, gesturing to the girl's slender legs: "If you are not satisfied yet, , there is only one left, perform surgery, saw open the leg bones, pull out the gaps, and then let the bones grow and lengthen naturally until they heal, so you can grow taller."
When Paris heard what Simon said, her eyes widened in surprise. Nikki even shrank her calves, looking scared.
Sawing open the leg bones would hurt so much.
Simon smiled and patted Nikki's waist: "Okay, you are great now. I like it very much. You don't need to grow any taller."
Nikki hummed.
Paris couldn't help but compete for favor: "Simon, then, who do you like more, Nikki or me?"
"Of course Nikki, you're just an extra."
"Wow, Simon, you are so bad."
The Kardashian sisters on the outside saw the Hilton sisters huddled in the arms of Westeros, playing and arguing, with smiles on their faces and envy in their hearts. Kim Kardashian couldn't help but think, let's die together. Two small blue pools, if you work harder, they will die together!
Later, when the man finally took the time to say a few words to them, the Kardashian sisters were immediately flattered and dealt with it cautiously, not even daring to raise their dissatisfaction with the Hilton sisters in their hearts.
Afraid of being seen out.
Kim Kardashian also took the initiative to mention Alexandra Daddario, who she wonders if the man still remembers. She was a little girl that she helped a man look for without a teacher. She was very beautiful, but it’s a pity. They themselves rarely get to see Westeros, and the little girl who strives to be a star has even less chance.
