The sudden exposure of Victoria's Secret show plans has made the fashion world very lively.
For Simon, this can only be a small hobby after work.
On May 6, after three and a half months of filming, "Jurassic Park" officially wrapped.
Although the film was directed by Spielberg in the original version, Simon rushed to Hawaii again to follow up on it for a few days a week before it was finalized.
After the filming was completed, the project team returned to Los Angeles and quickly launched into intense post-production.
In addition to "Jurassic Park", two other key projects at the end of 1992, "The Ring" for Halloween and "Home Alone 2" for Thanksgiving, are also in the post-production stage.
Malibu, Daenerys Studios.
The time is already Wednesday, May 13th.
Simon spent the morning discussing the post-production of "Jurassic Park" with Spielberg, had lunch together, and started three consecutive production meetings at one o'clock in the afternoon, namely "Forrest Gump" and "Seattle Night". Sleep" and "Superman".
The three films are at different stages of preparation.
As for "Forrest Gump," Robert Zemeckis and Tom Hanks have just agreed to participate in the project, and the company is still discussing salary issues with the two.
In addition to Meg Ryan, "Sleepless in Seattle" will also star Tom Hanks, and Hanks' schedule has become a key coordination issue between the two project teams.
Everything is ready for the final Superman.
After the Oscars in March, Daenerys Entertainment officially announced the main creators of the two major projects "Superman" and "Cyborg".
The director of "Superman", Roland Emmerich and Simon, had long ago determined that the male lead would be Brad Pitt. As for the female lead, Lois Lane, after several requests from Courteney Cox, Simon finally handed over the heroine to the other party.
Participating in a superhero series can gain high popularity, but at the same time it will greatly limit an actor's future development.
Simon doesn't care if the careers of people like Brad Pitt or Will Smith change as a result.
As an old friend whom he has known since the early days of his career in Hollywood, even though he did not accumulate much affection at the beginning, Simon still hoped that Courteney would have a better development. He even specifically mentioned her for this at the beginning. With an agent like Jonathan and " With the accumulated popularity of the "Scream" series, Courteney does not lack further resources and connections.
However, Courteney still couldn't bear it.
In this case, Simon will not interfere too much. Courteney's image is indeed very consistent with Lois Lane's setting.
Speaking of which, the heroine of the "Cyborg" series is also an 'acquaintance' in Simon's memory: Halle Berry.
The beauty pageant-turned-black actress started her career a few years ago and has previously appeared in films such as Spike Lee's "Jungle Fever" and Bruce Willis's last year's box office failure "The Last Boy Scout." The heroine of Eddie Murphy's new film "The Saint" to be released this summer.
The production meeting for "Superman" ended at six o'clock in the afternoon.
Roland Emmerich, who was talking with Simon and left the conference room together, noticed Courteney Cox coming to Simon's side. He wisely ended the conversation on his own initiative, turned to Brad Pitt and others and left quickly.
Glancing at the other people who were walking away, Courteney approached Simon with some restraint and asked tentatively: "Simon, do you have any plans for the evening?"
This is the third floor of Building No. 1 in the administrative area. Emmerich and others have just squeezed into the elevator. Simon did not wait for the other one. He turned to the stairs with Courteney and said: "Yes, I will make an appointment with someone later." Dinner and then the after-party for the premiere of Lethal Weapon 3."
"Lethal Weapon 3" will be released the day after tomorrow and will have its premiere today.
After all, Daenerys Entertainment and Time Warner Group still have a competitive relationship. Simon had no intention of attending the premiere of "Lethal Weapon 3", but accepted Mel Gibson's invitation to the after-premiere after-party.
Mainly because the after-party is attended by many Australian filmmakers.
Before that, at 7 o'clock, Leslie Wexner, who was in Los Angeles to prepare for the Victoria's Secret show, and his fiancée were invited to have dinner together.
Courteney paused after hearing this and said nothing more.
It was still a working day, and the man next to me attended two social events in one night, which showed how busy he was on weekdays.
Moreover, over the past few years, the gap between the two has grown wider and wider, and now they are simply worlds apart.
If he was interested in me, he would have shown it already. She herself couldn't think of any reason to refuse.
The two of them walked down the stairs together. Seeing Courteney's silence, Simon took the initiative and said, "What about you, how are you doing lately?"
"Not bad."
She responded subconsciously, but Courteney couldn't help but think of her current situation.
In terms of career, compared to many Hollywood actresses who have been unable to get ahead for many years, she is lucky enough.
However, many things are afraid of comparison.
They are also actresses under the name of Jonathan Friedman. The two are not much different in age and have similar starting points. However, over the years, Sandra Bullock has left her far behind.
From the original "Run Lola Run" to the two sequels of "Back to the Future" to last year's "Silence of the Lambs" and the upcoming "A Time to Kill", etc., six years have passed, a series of blockbuster films, and some awards. The nomination has firmly established Sandra Bullock as a new generation of first-line actress.
What about her
So far, the most famous one is "Scream". Although this series has made her a household name and her fame seems to be about the same, fundamentally, she still cannot get rid of her position as a vase.
How to distinguish between stars and vases
In fact, it's very simple. Just see if a star has enough box office appeal.
Sandra Bullock is one of those who already has strong box office appeal. However, Courteney is very clear that after the "Scream" series ends, it will be difficult for her to support a movie alone. box office.
Courteney actually knows that Simon's suggestion that she patiently participate in some different types of films to polish her qualifications and get rid of the vase label was well-intentioned and very correct.
However, she also has her own worries.
The distance between her and the man next to her has become farther and farther. Who knows if he will still remember her after a few years of patience.
Therefore, while there are still some connections, including the fact that Jonathan Friedman took great care of Simon because of his acquaintance with her, he tried his best to hold what he could get in his hands. For her, That's the most important thing.
After all, they didn’t have much in common anymore. They were just casually chatting about some useless gossip, and unknowingly they had arrived downstairs.
The black Bentley luxury car was already waiting in front of the building.
Courteney was looking forward to Simon's invitation to her before getting in the car: Do you want to take you home, or something else, anything.
The result is that anything happens.
After saying goodbye and watching his car leave, she could only turn to the parking lot to pick up her own car.
Dinner will be arranged directly at Dume Point Manor.
Although he would not hold a party in the Shell Villa, he would invite some people to have dinner at home. Even though he was still a little reluctant deep down, Simon knew that this was a necessary etiquette.
A few days ago in Columbus, Ohio, Leslie Wexner entertained the couple with great enthusiasm.
After sending away the little one in early March and spending two months carefully sorting out the huge industries of the entire Westeros system, Janet returned to the work rhythm before pregnancy, and only had about two or three days a week. On the East Coast, I simply didn’t go to New York in the past week.
When Simon returned home, he was immediately dragged to the cloakroom by Janet to take care of his clothes.
I enjoyed tossing my man a lot. After going downstairs, the time was approaching seven o'clock.
Just as they were about to go to the kitchen again to check on the chef's preparation for dinner, Alison, the girl A, came over to remind them, and the couple left the villa together to greet the guests.
Leslie Wexner is 55 years old. However, this wealthy fashion businessman was not officially engaged until the beginning of this year. His fiancée is named Abigail Koppel, a typical French-born blonde. See He is about thirty years old and is a lawyer by profession.
Everyone entered the Shell Villa with greetings. Even though there was a large estate in Columbus with an area of more than 300 acres, Leslie Wexner could not help but feel envious in his heart when he looked at the villa.
Leslie Wexner also started to build a huge business at a very young age. Leslie Wexner will never treat himself badly in life, but even based on Cersei Capital's acquisition price of LTD Company of US$2.45 billion, coupled with his years of With some of his other investments, his personal worth is less than $1 billion.
Such a fortune definitely belongs to the top of the pyramid in the United States. However, in front of Westeros, he is still just a 'poor'.
The rich are also divided into classes.
Outside of Columbus, Ohio, Leslie Wexner also owns his own mansion in Manhattan and a vacation home in Miami, Florida. Moreover, he seems to be able to afford properties that can be purchased in Westeros. , however, the difference can still be easily discovered.
The simplest thing is that the top group of super-rich people in the United States basically all own private jets, but only Simon Westeros can easily use the Boeing 767 as his own car.
Of course, many people can afford the Boeing 767, but affordability and affordability are often two different things.
Simon Westeros can spend tens of millions of dollars to build a special hangar at Los Angeles International Airport for the convenience of docking, but other billionaires cannot throw away tens of millions of dollars lightly.
and Columbus's estate.
Because it was Leslie Wexner who personally brokered the deal, Simon's farm estate on the outskirts of Columbus was adjacent to the Wexner family. The Wexney family's manor covers an area of more than 300 acres, which is used for permanent residence. It is considered fundamental. Although the manor purchased by Westeros at a huge cost only has 50 acres, it can only be lived in for a few days a year.
Moreover, various properties under the name of Westeros are said to have spread all over North America, Europe and Australia.
According to some media speculation, the combined value of these real estate properties is enough for Simon to occupy a very prominent position on the Forbes rich list.
Last year's "Forbes" list of America's 400 richest people listed Westeros' net worth at an unprecedented $35 billion.
Now, a year has not passed, but many people can clearly feel that this young man's net worth has grown rapidly at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.
Until he sat down in the restaurant, Leslie Wexner couldn't help but wonder, how much money does Simon Westeros have now? !
In addition to being personally responsible for the preparations for the Victoria's Secret show, Leslie Wexner has been coming to Los Angeles since Monday. In recent days, she has also discussed with the Simons the use of funds that the Wexner family has just cashed out from the LTD acquisition.
After selling about 20% of LTD shares, excluding capital gains taxes and some spare funds, Leslie Wexner plans to use the remaining $300 million for other investments.
If we talk about investment vision, probably no one can match Simon in recent years.
Now that he is already a partner, Simon does not mind forming a closer relationship of interest with Leslie Wexner.
As a relatively established tycoon, Leslie Wexner also has very good connections in American politics, and he is also in the Democratic Party camp.
Winning such a help would only be beneficial to Simon.
After several discussions, US$300 million in capital, US$100 million of which will be accepted by Cersei Capital's hedge fund Cersei Fund Management.
Cersei Capital, a hedge fund with a scale of about US$3 billion, has always been the target of many American capitals.
Under Janet's personal layout, Cersei Capital also used this fund to weave a network of interests that would be very eye-catching if revealed.
Leslie Wexner also accepted Simon's suggestion and placed the remaining $200 million in two other subsidiaries of Cersei Capital, which will be used mainly for investment in technology stocks in the next few years.
The three subsidiaries of Cersei Capital, Cersei Fund Management Company, Apollo Management Company and Black Rock Asset Management Company, have different investment objectives, and the risks are reduced in sequence. The arrangement of the Wexner family funds can ensure that these funds are as safe as possible. $300 million in security.
Everything is handled during working hours, and the atmosphere at dinner is quite relaxed.
Of course, the topic is more focused on the Victoria's Secret show.
This project has just been announced, and many people are beating around the bush to find out what is going on.
Naturally, some lace is indispensable.
If someone else wanted to gather the top models in the fashion industry to hold a big show, it might be regarded as a purely commercial act.
But, Westeros.
A certain guy is only 24 years old this year. Whether it is wealth, power or personal image, he has a fatal attraction to too many women.
In fact, many models who hope to participate in this big show have already had the idea that Westeros' purpose is not too simple. If you are favored by this young super tycoon, even if you are unlikely to get any status, you will not have to fight for the second half of your life.
These laces inevitably became the material for everyone to tease Simon at dinner, and even Janet had a resentful look on her face.
Dinner ended around eight o'clock.
The "Lethal Weapon 3" after-party started at nine o'clock in the evening, and Simon took the opportunity to invite Leslie Wexner.
The vanity fair of Hollywood has a natural attraction for many rich people. Leslie Wexner and his fiancée readily agreed, and everyone rushed to the city together.
With Simon's support, the Australian gang's power in Hollywood has become more and more obvious in recent years.
In addition to early Mel Gibson and George Miller, newcomers Nicole Kidman, Jane Campion, Peter Jackson, Baz Luhrmann, Sam Neill, etc. are already in Hollywood found its footing.
Tonight's after-party, Mel Gibson specially invited a group of Australian gang members in Hollywood to come and support him.
That's why Simon attended.
The lively premiere of "Lethal Weapon 3" represented the official start of the 1992 summer season.
