Sandra Bullock took off her little black dress and put on the plaid shirt and jeans again. She looked in the mirror and found to her distress that she looked more pleasing to the eye in this outfit.
However, if you just go to the celebration party of "Run Lola Run", you will inevitably be hyped up by the media as a tomboy, and you may even be questioned about your sexual orientation.
Suddenly becoming famous, I suddenly discovered that those media are so full of imagination. Every move, word, and deed you make can be interpreted in all kinds of nonsense.
However, thinking about that guy, what happened to him was already very good.
Thinking of this, I ran out of the bedroom, took out a large pile of recent newspapers from the grid under the coffee table in the living room, and read through it with interest.
"Simon Westeros has left the cast of Night of the Dead early, and producer Edward Feldman thanks him for his contribution to the show."
"Simon Westeros moves into his mysterious girlfriend's Malibu mansion and begins living together sweetly."
"The identity of Janet Johnston is revealed. She is the daughter of a mining tycoon and her family wealth exceeds $2 billion."
"Simon Westeros has reached a new film cooperation with Fox Pictures, with a guaranteed box office of US$20 million."
"It is rumored that the internal test screening of "The Butterfly Effect" did not go well, and Simon Westeros remained silent in response to media inquiries."
""The Butterfly Effect" is set for Easter, and Simon Westeros will attend the press conference."
"Simon Westeros meets Pat Kingsley, a famous female publicist in Hollywood."
“A smart investment by a Columbia girl, Janet Johnston owns 61.5% of Run Lola Run, with expected profits exceeding $30 million.”
"Simon Westero is looking at a house in Palisades and plans to move out of his girlfriend's mansion. The relationship between the two may change."
“…”
“…”
Sandra was browsing with interest when the door opened and an ordinary-looking brown-haired girl walked in holding a shoe box. Seeing that Sandra was still wearing her original shirt and trousers, she stared. Said: "Sandy, why haven't you changed your clothes yet? It's already past six o'clock. The party starts at seven o'clock."
Putting down the newspaper helplessly, Sandra stood up and spread her hands towards the assistant named Gina Kolos, whom Jonathan had recently hired for her, and said: "Gina, I still feel that I look better in this outfit."
"And then get laughed at by a bunch of media tomorrow?"
After Gina Kross complained like this, she took Sandra and pushed her into the bedroom again, handed over the shoe box in her hand, and said: "Quickly change, I have already called the car. We will leave in ten minutes. In the car I'll help you touch up your makeup."
After being so busy for a while, I finally put on the black low-cut dress, stepped on black high heels, and hurriedly left the apartment in West Hollywood and rushed to the Century City Intercontinental Hotel in Century City, Beverly Hills.
Today is March 7th, Saturday.
In the previous week from February 27 to March 5, "Run Lola Run" earned a total box office of US$15.56 million from 536 screens, easily winning the top spot in the North American box office rankings last week.
Now that it has won the single-week box office championship, Orion Pictures yesterday launched "Lola Run" across the east and west coasts of North America. The number of screening screens increased to 1,176 at once. It is said that the film will be screened in the East for the first time on a large scale. The response from coastal states and counties was also very strong.
So, at that guy's suggestion, Orion Pictures chose to hold a celebration party for "Lola Run" this weekend.
When they arrived outside the InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Sandra and Gina were a little dumbfounded as they sat in a specially rented courtesy car.
Although there was no red carpet, the hotel was still crowded with reporters, and the two women didn't know whether they should get out of the car like this. The reporters also obviously noticed the hesitant limousine car, and they gathered around it and started taking pictures directly towards the closed door.
Fortunately, after a stalemate for a while, several security guards from the hotel came over and protected Sandra and her assistant into the hotel.
Until she stood in front of the media photo wall in the hotel lobby, Sandra was still a little frightened, but she had to patiently show a decent smile.
After signing autographs and taking photos, we arrived at the banquet hall of the hotel.
She arrived a little late, and the banquet hall was already crowded with people.
However, I still saw a certain guy at a glance.
Simon was chatting with Janet and Mike Medowa. When he noticed Sandra's arrival, Simon nodded to Mike Medowa and walked over with his girlfriend.
Coming closer, Simon gently hugged Sandra and said with a smile: "Sandy, you are so beautiful today."
"Thank you, Simon," she responded with some embarrassment. Sandra quickly turned around and hugged Janet as well. By the way, she glanced at the girl's very expensive burgundy evening dress and said, "Jenny today It’s also very beautiful.”
Although she said it so casually, Sandra couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, and she felt a bit like an ugly duckling.
Suddenly becoming famous, the attention seems to be much higher all of a sudden, and there are a lot of film offers these days. But in fact, her life was very tight, and the evening dress she wore was actually rented. If her parents hadn't temporarily loaned her $20,000 as an emergency, she wouldn't have been able to afford an assistant now.
Alas, the damn guy made so much money, but only gave her a salary of 5,000 US dollars.
miser!
I was thinking about it in my heart, but found that I couldn't express it no matter what, and still joked with him stupidly.
How silly.
After chatting for a while, Simon noticed a capable woman in her thirties wearing a dark blue evening dress walking in at the door of the banquet hall. He said something to Sandra and was about to leave. After thinking about it, he whispered to her again: "Sandy, if "Run Lola Run" makes money after a while, I will give everyone a bonus. However, if you are short of money recently, you can also contact me in advance."
He was suddenly in a daze and felt guilty.
sky.
He must have read his thoughts.
So shameful.
He quickly shook his head: "No, Simon, I, ha, I don't have as much money to spend as you do."
Simon just smiled, raised his hand and patted Sandra on the shoulder, and said: "Then you take your time and play, I have something else to do."
Watching him leave with his girlfriend, she felt a little itchy on her bare shoulders.
Look left and right.
No one seemed to notice the little detail just now.
I suddenly felt aggrieved and wanted to find someone to talk to.
Mom, he touched me.
Simon left Sandra and came to the woman just now. Looking at the woman who had been tit-for-tat with him for three days, he smiled and stretched out his hand and said: "Good evening, Amy, are you coming alone?"
The woman's name is Amy, Amy Pascal, who is currently the vice president of Fox Film. More accurately, it should be the vice president of production, the same as Peter Sanders before him.
Simon asked specifically to find out that Fox Studios was run by Ronald Goldberg, followed by the same succession of vice presidents. Among them, those closely related to the film include three vice presidents of production, two vice presidents of marketing, and others including vice presidents of administration, vice presidents of locations, and so on.
Perhaps knowing that Peter Sanders was not useful enough, Ronald Goldberg sent Amy Pascal to discuss the specific contract with Simon for this time.
A production budget of US$8 million, a guaranteed North American box office of US$20 million, absolute control of the project, 10% North American box office share and 5% video sales share. These conditions are all dead.
However, there are still a lot of details to be discussed between the two parties in terms of the film's future schedule, release scale, marketing investment, etc.
In the three days starting from Wednesday, compared to Peter Sanders, Amy Pascal's shrewdness and strength left a deep impression on Simon. Moreover, Simon also has some understanding of the future development trajectory of the female executive in front of her. In the original time and space, Amy Pascal was one of the few female heads of major film companies in Hollywood, and she controlled Sony Pictures for more than ten years.
Simon is currently looking for a professional manager for Daenerys Pictures, and this capable woman in front of him is a perfect fit.
Amy Pascal had always been a little confused about receiving an invitation from Simon's party tonight, but she still rushed over. After shaking hands with Simon and Janet respectively, after hearing Simon's question, he replied: "My boyfriend went to New York on a business trip, and I can only come here alone."
Simon nodded and said, "Then let's go in and talk."
The three of them walked into the banquet hall together, greeted everyone, and chatted casually.
After a while, Amy Pascal took the glass of champagne handed over by Simon. Seeing that his girlfriend walked away without leaving a trace, she said: "So, Simon, can you tell me why you invited me here?" Party? I guess the past few days we've just spent together haven't been a good experience for you."
"That's your job. If you can't argue for your employer, there won't be this invitation from me."
Amy Pascal raised her eyebrows slightly, but said with some regret: "Unfortunately, I didn't get many favorable conditions for my employer."
Simon shook his head and said: "This is not something you can change. Within your scope of authority, you have done enough."
Listening to Simon's words, Amy Pascal vaguely anticipated something, but felt unbelievable, so she looked at the young man in front of her, waiting for him to continue.
Simon stopped beating around the bush and said directly: "Amy, that's it, how about coming to work for me?"
Somewhat stunned and a little surprised, Amy Pascal looked Simon up and down, but did not refuse, but said: "Give me a reason, Simon, a reason to work for you?"
