A church at the foot of Beverly Hills, on the afternoon of December 9, was where Dakota Johnson’s baptismal ceremony was held.
What was originally a very personal matter became very lively due to the star status of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith and the attendance of Simon and others. As a veteran Hollywood family, the Griffith family invited a total of Fifty relatives and friends attended the little one's christening ceremony, and the number of media reporters who came after hearing the news was no less than the number of guests.
Now is the final sprint stage of the promotion of "Batman". Huge posters of the film have appeared in many famous locations in major cities in North America, and the main creators are running non-stop throughout North America.
Compared with the busyness of others, Simon has not appeared in public during this time.
Therefore, as soon as Simon and Janet got out of the car outside the church, the flash lights around them started flashing crazily. Although this was a christening ceremony, reporters couldn't help but ask Simon some other questions while clicking the shutter.
Simon didn't mean to steal the spotlight, he just showed a polite smile and led Janet into the church without stopping.
After briefly greeting all the guests, Janet also presented carefully selected gifts, and everyone entered the church hall.
Simon had an instinctive resistance to religion in his bones. He just sat patiently on the bench and watched the baptism process. Janet beside him looked very solemn. She occasionally leaned towards Simon and occasionally glanced over to examine his expression. .
There is also a christening party after the ceremony.
The venue was arranged at the Beverly Hills home of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, not far from the church.
The two got in the car again outside the church and rushed to the Johnsons' home with other people's cars.
The car started, and Simon felt Janet leaning against him in a daze again, and said with a smile: "You want a child?"
Janet put her arm around Simon, nuzzled him, and said, "The little guy is very cute."
"Then, we will get married after the year, before your birthday."
Janet tilted her head and knelt on Simon's shoulder, and said with a little dissatisfaction in her tone: "How rash, you didn't even kneel down to propose to me."
Simon gently pushed the woman away, reached into his suit pocket and dug a few times, and quickly took out a sparkling diamond ring. Janet's eyes widened for a moment, and he leaned on one knee on the back seat of the car and raised his hand. He picked up the ring in his hand and said, "Miss Johnston, will you marry me?"
In the front row of the car, the two bodyguards on the driver's and passenger's seats were already a little dazed. Neil Bennett, who was in charge of driving, subconsciously stepped on the brakes. When he realized something was wrong, he quickly released his brakes and opened the car's fender at the same time.
The carriage shook, which also woke Janet up from her daze.
The woman's beautiful eyes blinked several times quickly. Seeing that Simon was still waiting, she quickly nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yeah, yeah, yeah."
Simon smiled and grabbed the woman's little hand that was about to cover her mouth, put the ring on her ring finger, and said, "Now, from now on, you are my fiancée."
Janet raised her hand to look at the diamond ring on her hand, then turned to look at Simon. After a moment, she curled her lips and said, "I haven't even reacted yet."
Simon grabbed the woman's little hand again, pressed it on his chest and said, "Actually, I'm also very nervous. Please feel it."
There was a rapid heartbeat in the palm of my hand.
Janet felt it for a moment, and finally leaned sideways on Simon's shoulder and said, "When did you buy the ring?"
"Sophia hinted at you, right?"
"I definitely have to pretend I don't know anything at this time."
"Okay, I asked Sophia to help me look for the fashion week in September. It took me a long time to choose this one," Simon said, holding Janet's small hand and squeezing it a little harder, and asked with a smile: "Is it big? It's 99 carats. It was originally bigger, but I asked them to cut it into 99 carats?"
Janet withdrew her hand and looked at the heart-shaped diamond ring, which was wider than her finger, and asked, "Why 99 carats?"
Simon said: "In Chinese, the number '99' means 'forever'."
"Um… "
Janet snorted like a kitten and leaned against Simon softly.
As the two most eye-catching guests this time, Simon and Janet came to the home of the Johnsons. The eye-catching diamond ring that suddenly appeared on Janet's hand was quickly noticed by interested people, and the news spread quickly.
Before Dakota Johnson's christening party was over, many familiar relatives and friends around her started calling.
After attending the party, Simon and Janet returned to Malibu and had dinner together at a restaurant. During this time, the woman did not take off her diamond ring, which clearly attracted a group of reporters.
"Mom, he just proposed to me, how could he arrange the wedding so soon... Hum, dad must be urging me, right... I know, I know... He is busy, you know, he always has something There are so many things to do, even the proposal was made in the car... Yes, in the carriage, I almost couldn't help but reject him, little bastard, it's not formal at all... Christmas? I'll probably go back. , but that’s not necessarily the case, his movie will be released on the 22nd, and a lot of things have happened recently... Yeah, yeah, that’s it, bye, I love you.”
Inside the villa on the west side of Cape Dume.
Janet, who was next to Simon, hung up the phone and leaned over to lie on the man's lap.
Simon took out the information that was pillowed under Janet's head, casually placed it on the woman's white neck and caressed it, and said: "It should be no problem for us to go to Australia for Christmas, but it's summer over there, so there's no problem at all. The smell of Christmas.”
Janet twisted her neck slightly, grabbed the man's hand and stuffed it into her collar, and said with a smile: "How about I ask my parents to come to North America?"
Simon trembled and said, "I still don't want it anymore."
"Haha, coward."
"It just feels a little strange, and it should be our past."
"Um."
After saying this, Janet became quiet again, looked up at the man for a moment, reached up and touched Simon's stubble-free chin, and said, "You little bastard, do you really want to marry me?"
Simon's eyes were still on the document in his hand, but he nodded without any hesitation and said, "Really."
"Then," Janet's eyes flashed and she said, "Do you want to sign a prenuptial agreement before we get married?"
Simon nodded: "Yes, but the signing is simpler. If you want to leave me, then there will be no money. If I want you to leave, then I will pay you 10 billion US dollars."
Janet was stunned for a moment and asked shrewdly: "How much money will you have in the future?"
"I hope there are 1 trillion."
"JPY?"
"Dollar."
Janet pulled Simon's hand out of her collar and pushed it away, and said dissatisfiedly: "You are indeed a little bastard. You have 1 trillion, but you want to send me away with 10 billion."
Simon showed a pained expression and said, "Okay, add another 10 billion."
Janet held Simon's hand and brought it to her mouth, took a gentle bite, looked up with bright eyes, and said: "You little bastard, I don't want your money."
"Um?"
Janet reached over with her little hand, pressed Simon's chest, felt the man's heartbeat and said softly: "If one day you want to drive me away, I will take your heart away."
Simon finally moved his eyes away from the information, looked at the woman on his lap for a moment, and said in the same soft voice: "Don't be so cruel, right?"
"Will you drive me away?"
"No, I'm actually very lazy. Once I married one woman, I never thought about changing to another."
Janet curled her lips, took back the hand that was pressing on the man's chest, grabbed his arm and pressed it on her chest, and said softly: "Little bastard, how about we make a little bastard now?"
Simon paused and said: "Well, it's best after getting married, otherwise your father will definitely be very angry."
"No way," Janet shook her head, noticing Simon's expression, and said, "If you don't like children, then don't have them, as long as we are together."
"It's not what you think," Simon raised his hand and caressed the woman's smooth face, and said, "It's just that in this matter, at least we need to conduct some pre-marital examinations."
Janet looked over in confusion.
Simon's thoughts were racing and he quickly said: "As you know about my experience in Watsonville Mental Hospital, I am worried that it will be passed on to our little guy. So I need to make some preparations in advance."
Janet's eyes were still bright, but her tone was dumb and hoarse: "Okay."
Just as he was talking, the phone rang again.
Janet had no intention of answering the phone at all. Women's habit of not liking to answer the phone has not changed yet. It was Simon who picked up the phone first and confirmed that it was the woman's mother. After chatting for a few words, he handed the phone to her.
He leaned forward to pick up the cordless phone and pressed the answer button. Simon said: "Hello?"
There was obvious hesitation on the other side of the phone for a moment, and finally a voice rang.
Simon was also stunned, but quickly calmed down and said: "You are looking for Jenny, right? She is here."
Then he put the microphone directly to the woman's ear and said, "Your aunt."
Janet then held down the phone, twisted her body to find a more comfortable position, and said: "Hey, Bingshan, did mom tell you... Yes, hum hum, now the old man will talk about you even more. No... No, it's only around eight o'clock in the evening here, and I've been answering the phone just now. What about you, it should be afternoon over there now, what are you busy with... Anyway, he said he would go back, it depends on the situation... "
Although she doesn't like answering the phone, Janet is very good at talking on the phone.
After chatting with Veronica for more than 20 minutes, the woman hung up the phone. Finally, she winked at Simon with a smile and said, "Auntie asked me to say hello to you for her."
Simon scratched the woman's little nose and said, "Go take a shower. I'll go up after reading these things."
The next day was Sunday, and the hottest topic in major mainstream media in North America was undoubtedly the 99-carat heart-shaped diamond ring on the hand of Westeros girlfriend Janet Johnston.
Simon didn't want this matter to become a hot topic, so he ordered the public relations team around him to reject all related interview invitations. He simply took Janet to San Francisco on the weekend and visited the Woodside area in the west of Palo Alto. A mansion was chosen in the mountains.
Entering the 1990s, I will definitely go to San Francisco often in the future.
Simon's current wealth is still not enough to support the construction of the Westeros Tower in Manhattan, but it can satisfy him to purchase his own properties in more cities.
Because of work, I still have to return to Los Angeles on Monday.
The time is already December 11th.
Last Friday, December 8, Daenerys Entertainment's last self-released film of the year, "Driving Miss Daisy," was released. The opening screen size was even more conservative than that of "My Left Foot," with only 32 Block, this movie will completely take the route of word-of-mouth and awards.
Prior to this, in the week from December 1st to December 7th, among several films related to Daenerys Entertainment, the Halloween-scheduled "Scream 2" was released in its sixth week, with a single-week box office revenue of 6.47 million. US dollars, the cumulative box office reached 93.06 million US dollars. Although the box office momentum of this teen horror film has slowed down significantly, it has steadily moved towards the 100 million yuan mark.
After two weeks of thanksgiving, it entered the unpopular period in early December. The box office of "One Flew Over the Child" dropped 33% in its third week of release, collecting another US$21.71 million.
However, in just three weeks, the total North American box office of "One Flew Over the Child" quickly reached 84.32 million US dollars.
Judging from the box office performance of the past weekend, this unexpectedly popular alternative family comedy may have a box office of over 100 million this week.
It has exceeded 100 million in four weeks, and it will experience the most popular Christmas season in the next few weeks. The total box office of "One Flew Over the Child" in North America is conservatively estimated to be more than 150 million U.S. dollars, and may even exceed 170 million U.S. dollars. Neither Daenerys nor Warner Bros. It was expected that this alternative and heartwarming family comedy would achieve such outstanding box office results.
Because it did not take advantage of the situation to increase the size of the screening screen, the box office number of "The Gucci Mark" inevitably dropped by 17% in the second week, collecting another US$7.92 million, and the cumulative box office in two weeks was US$17.47 million.
Compared with the box office, due to the continuous investment in publicity and distribution, the North American sales of Gucci stores exceeded the 10 million mark in the week of early December. This is the first time that the Gucci brand has achieved a single-week sales breakthrough since it opened up the North American market. The $10 million mark.
In order to expand the influence of "The Gucci Mark" as much as possible, Gaomen Pictures has been urgently negotiating with the Gucci headquarters about the European distribution of this documentary.
Daenerys Entertainment Headquarters.
In the office, Simon was looking through several box office reports from the previous two weeks when the female assistant opened the door and came in.
Although Jennifer acted as if nothing had happened, Simon could naturally see the obvious loss and uneasiness in the female assistant today. Therefore, before she could speak, Simon took out a small box and handed it over, saying, "Here, a gift for you."
Although he had reminded her that night in Athens a few days ago, she was still inevitably disappointed when she actually saw the news of his proposal to Janet.
Seeing the small box in front of her, Jennifer hesitated for a moment before reaching out to pick it up and opening it curiously.
Inside is a diamond ring.
A diamond ring that was almost identical to the one on Janet's hand.
"It's the same as Jenny's. It's 99 carats. It's given to you. Also, this needs to be kept secret. If Jenny finds out, I might have to sleep on the floor at night."
After being stunned for a moment, Jennifer subconsciously shook her head and wanted to give it back to him, but her mind was a little unruly. She still held the box in her hand and reluctantly said: "I, it's too expensive, I can't have it."
In yesterday's newspapers, most articles valued the diamond ring on Janet's hand at more than $10 million.
This one must be the same now.
How can you ask for it when it’s so expensive
"Put it away, don't let outsiders see it," Simon just smiled and changed the subject: "What's the matter?"
Seeing his relaxed look, I quickly made up my mind.
I gave him everything, so of course I couldn't have nothing. Anyway, money is not a problem to him at all.
Big deal, one day he will want to take it back.
Just give it back to him.
Thinking this way, holding the box in her hand, the female assistant said: "Bill Gates' assistant just called. Gates will go to San Francisco tomorrow and wants to invite you to have lunch together."
Simon wondered: "Do you know what it is for?"
Jennifer said: "I think it should be the Westeros company's recent increase in its holdings of Microsoft stocks."
Simon thought for a while, then suddenly showed a playful smile and said: "In this case, just say I am too busy and let him come to Los Angeles. In addition, I will send my Boeing 767 to San Francisco to pick him up tomorrow."
Knowing that he would not lend a private jet to others under normal circumstances, Jennifer was a little confused at first. Looking at the smile on the corner of the man's mouth, she quickly understood what he meant, nodded, and turned around to leave the office.
