In the room with a terrace next door, Amy Pascal was surrounded by a group of women and sat down on the sofa on the terrace. She felt the cool breeze in the mountains at night in Los Angeles. After some joking, she concluded: "It's just... the relationship between us is very... We can talk well, there is a kind of spiritual compatibility, and he has a very rich life experience, he is also funny, and he can always find a variety of topics to talk about when we get along. In short, he is the right person."
Janet leaned on the sofa holding a glass of red wine, facing Amy, with a little teasing and reminder: "But, Amy, the age difference between you two is too much, and, um, how is his health? ?”
This is somewhat straightforward.
Amy glanced at Janet in embarrassment, and simply looked at Jennifer on the other side of Janet: "Jenny, why did you come out to the party today? Hehe, in recent years, everyone has always felt that you have been locked up in the villa by Simon. , forbidden to go out, can only keep watching the children doing housework."
Before Jennifer could answer, Janet had already said, "That's not the case. In fact, she was locked in the basement, deprived of food, and beaten every day. I stole the key from Simon to bring Jenny out today."
Everyone laughed.
Not counting the two Wei family maids, Zoe and Isabel, who were waiting nearby, there were a total of six women on the terrace.
In addition to the two Jennys and the newly arrived Amy, there are also Nancy Brill, a small female executive of Daenerys Entertainment, Sandra Bullock, who has known Simon for a long time and has always had a close personal relationship, and Robert Iger married his second wife, Willow Bay, just last year.
Willow Bay is in her early thirties, has blond hair, was a host before marrying Iger, and has a very good temperament. Because they are about the same age, and because Iger took the initiative to help his wife connect, I can sit here at this time.
In fact, there were many senior executives at the party who brought their families, but they were either too far apart in age or couldn't get along with each other. Except for Willow Bay, none of them were able to step into this small and open place that was far less open than the men next door. In a circle, at most you just come over to say hello, say a few words, and get to know others.
After quitting her job as Simon's assistant a few years ago, Jennifer, who focused on running the house and taking care of several children, rarely participated in various social activities.
Speaking of which, Simon's appearance tonight with two Jennys really surprised many people.
Even though the relationship between the female assistant and Simon has been known to everyone for many years, it is still somewhat unfair. Simon's actions tonight are tantamount to publicly admitting the fact that there are two wives in a certain house.
However, it was only slightly surprising.
After all, most people subconsciously take all the unconventional and deviant behavior of those in power as a matter of course. What's more, the relationship between Simon and the two Jennys is no longer even gossip, it's just an obvious fact. Even if there is no need to worry about Simon's identity, various gossip media are too lazy to play up such outdated news.
The circle is even more accustomed to this.
Listening to the laughter around her, the female assistant poked Janet on the waist who was talking nonsense, looked at Amy and said: "Don't change the subject, Amy, everyone is talking about you."
"That's it, nothing else." Seeing the female assistant throw the ball back again, Amy spread her hands. As for the pregnancy, everyone already knew about it, so she changed the subject again: "You are both coming out, who are the children?" Look, is Sophie here?"
Jennifer shook her head and said, "No, it's Winnie. She came from Australia for the weekend."
"oh."
Amy nodded. She was familiar with Veronica, and she also knew that Janet, her aunt, had always been single but loved children.
Seeing that Amy couldn't find anything here, Janet turned to a small female executive on the other side: "Nancy, Amy is getting married, you, um, the one in Silicon Valley, what are you doing? Do you want to send flowers, I remember there is also a director of Knight Ridder?”
Nancy Brill was looking at the party crowd downstairs. Hearing this, she took a sip of red wine and shook her head: "I am busy helping your husband make money all day long. How can I have time to think about such things."
"Oh, I understand," Janet winked: "You have been secretly in love with Simon for a long time."
Nancy glanced over, ignored her arrogantly, and continued to look downstairs.
There was indeed some vague feelings at first. After all, a certain young man was too dazzling and full of aggression. However, as the Westeros system continues to expand, Simon focuses more on other aspects and reduces his attention to Daenerys' entertainment. The opportunities for contact between the two parties are inevitably reduced.
Time always kills so many things.
There has always been no shortage of suitors around Nancy, whether they are Silicon Valley technology elites, executives of Fortune 500 companies or heirs of old money families, they are all there, but none of them can impress the beautiful lady.
In fact, it is mainly due to Nancy's instinctive resistance to things involving men and women, due to certain growth experiences, coupled with her height, and so on. In short, she is the only one who has knocked some gaps in the door of a small woman's heart. The guy didn't get any further and everyone else was in vain.
Janet didn't chase after her and made a joke. Instead, she talked with everyone about some topics that are essential for women when they are together, such as fashion, beauty, fitness, travel, etc., as well as some small and light gossip.
"The scenery in China is indeed beautiful, and, as Simon said, it is mainly because that land has thousands of years of cultural heritage. Just like any famous mountain, it may be just a mountain here, but there in China, there will be There are many legends and ancient poems. So, Amy, during your honeymoon with Bernard in September, I suggest you take time to visit China, and I will personally help you arrange a professional tour guide."
"Okay," Amy agreed, and then said seemingly unintentionally: "I heard that Simon formed a Chinese dance team?"
Janet's eyes narrowed slightly: "Do you want to see it?"
Amy pretended to smile meaninglessly and said: "I'm just a little curious."
When Amy said this, except for the two Jennys, the other women also looked like they were listening.
The Guofeng Art Troupe received almost no public attention, but was very famous in private. However, most arguments tended to be that this was another clear proof of someone's absurd private life.
Janet said: "Actually, Simon plans to arrange for this art troupe to tour at the end of the year, and is currently choreographing. Since you want to see it, I will fly them over tomorrow, um, let's perform it here, which happens to be a mansion on the edge of the cliff. , we can watch it directly here.”
Everyone was suddenly surprised. They didn't expect that someone planned to arrange a public tour for this art troupe. They thought it was just a private tour.
So the little flame of gossip and curiosity in my heart suddenly died down a lot.
Still curious for sure.
Amy said: "It's better to go to the employee activity center of Malibu Studios. The stage there is better. Tomorrow is still Sunday."
Janet nodded: "Okay."
Sandra interjected: "Jenny, don't you need to ask Simon?"
Janet's soft body, which had been practicing yoga for a long time, twisted on the sofa, changed her position and said, "I won't discuss it with him."
Amy suddenly raised her eyebrows: "The mood is not right."
Sandra also joined in: "A fight?"
Janet raised her chin slightly and stared at Sandra like a queen: "Little Sandy, you have no chance."
Sandra smirked: "Yeah, yeah, I'm not in a hurry, after all, I'm still so young."
Then a pillow flew over.
Jennifer smiled and watched Janet act petty. Of course she knew that in fact, it was the one at home at this time who could always make Janet feel itchy for some guy.
After a few laughs, Janet felt a little flirtatious and asked Isabel to get her cell phone and dial Angora Davis directly in New York, asking her to arrange for the girls from the Chinese Style Art Troupe to fly over tomorrow.
The night is getting darker.
After ten o'clock, the guests began to disperse gradually. Everyone came to enjoy the party that was already very relaxed and happy, and left happily.
Simon didn't hide upstairs and talk with a group of big guys all the time. He went downstairs to socialize for a while after nine o'clock.
Then he didn’t go home with the two Jennys.
Got kicked out of the house tonight.
According to Janet, he had no shortage of places to go anyway.
A living room on the first floor of a luxury villa.
Simon was discussing "Face" with Bai Ge Wu, who was obviously still very excited. Sitting next to him was Kate Beckinsale, and on the other side of Kate was Rachel Weisz. After Janet left, the two girls who had been dawdling so far finally finally Being able to get close to Simon.
John Wu sat respectfully on the single sofa near Simon.
"Perhaps you have heard, Wu, that the shooting of James' "Titanic" has been postponed again. To be on the safe side, we have decided to push the film to the end of next year. In the schedule vacated by "Titanic", I hope that " "Face Changing" can make up for it, which requires you to speed up the production pace, so do you have any problems here?"
From the initial test of "The Target" to "Broken Arrow" and then to the recently released "Mission: Impossible 2", three consecutive movies have all achieved success, and each one has better box office than the last. Baige Wu has already With a rare Asian face, he was promoted to become a first-line director in Hollywood.
Hollywood is the most realistic place.
As long as you can make blockbuster movies, you are God. Other than that, things like race, skin color, etc. are just a cloud. Therefore, even though the contract for the next movie has been finalized, Baige Wu is still being tried by various Hollywood studios to win over and be fawned over, which is the pinnacle of his life.
However, in front of Simon, the director did not show any arrogance at all: "Of course not, Simon. In fact, according to the work rhythm I established in Hong Kong, one year is already very sufficient."
"Very good," Simon nodded with satisfaction. Of course he knew the quick-shooting attributes of Hong Kong directors: "In this case, as for the male lead, I have seriously considered it recently. Let's use Peter. There is no need to delay any more. Finalize the core role, and you also You can focus on other aspects of the project preparation.”
Hearing this, John Wu hesitated a little, then nodded in agreement again.
Not that I'm dissatisfied with Brad Pitt.
This Superman actor's acting skills are actually very good, and he also has a temperament that is both good and evil, so he is perfect for the role of Custer in "Face/Off". But now, after all, he is not as good as before. He is also considered a front-line director. Deep down in his heart, Bai Gewu began to hope to get more say in film projects instead of being decided by others.
Perhaps, cooperating with other studios for the next film would be a good choice.
After continuing to chat for a few words, Baige Wu stood up and said that it was getting late and planned to leave.
Simon sent Bai Ge Wu to the front door of the villa. When he left, he raised his wrist and looked at the time. It was already past 11 o'clock. Just as he was about to say something to Kate and Rachel who were following him silently, a group of big goblins swarmed out. come over.
Fernanda Lima and Heidi Klum held Simon's arms on the left and right, and quietly pushed Kate away who was just standing next to the man: "Simon, are you leaving? Go to Beaver Li Canyon, is that villa you lent us good? It’s so big there, and there are only six of us who are very scared.”
Goblins are very shrewd.
When he quietly noticed Janet Westeros leaving but Simon did not follow, he realized that there was something going on tonight, so he kept a close eye on her. Seeing that it was almost time, he decisively ran over to grab someone.
There are six of them, so they are still very competitive.
Simon agreed with a smile, then turned to Kate who just felt disappointed after hearing this: "Kate, Rachel, you can come together, and tell me about the filming of "Good Will Hunting" by the way."
When the two women heard this, Kate opened her mouth slightly, and Rachel's eyes widened.
Six plus two.
Bastard, can you bear it
Although she was complaining like this in her heart, I don’t know whether it was out of the desire to win under the provocative eyes of the six big goblins or something else, but she got into the car with someone for no reason. Rachel actually refused a little, but unfortunately she was rejected by Katera. I couldn't escape. The six Fernandas originally wanted to pull Simon into their luxurious Lincoln, but Simon still took his own black Mercedes-Benz, with Rachel and Kate on the left and right, so the two girls felt that they had won the game.
Beverly Canyon is a community in Beverly Hills, located on the west side of Beverly Hills and bordering Bel Air.
Simon and his party left the Palisade and headed east along Sunset Boulevard, where traffic was dwindling late at night, arriving at their destination in less than half an hour.
This is a mansion that is also located on the cliff and occupies a larger area than the Palisades. And it is obviously not just the six of them as Fernanda said. There is also a complete team of maids and guards here, and it is not deserted. .
Kate Beckinsale took Simon's arm and got out of the car. She looked up at the exaggerated double-storey villa with white walls and blue roof in front of her. She suddenly remembered some private gossip about another legendary rich man, Howard Hughes. It is said that the super The wealthy and Hollywood mogul had more than a hundred lovers hidden in the Los Angeles area.
Now that I think about it, there's a guy who might be more exaggerated than Howard Hughes in this regard.
At least, the mansion in front of you is much more elaborate.
Even Kate's own residence in Los Angeles was arranged by Simon. It is a sea-view villa located on the seaside south of Pepperdine University in Malibu. It is more than 10 kilometers away from Point Dume. Of course, it is completely incomparable with Point Dume Manor. But it was enough for her and her attendants to live comfortably. She originally planned to drag Rachel over tonight.
Now.
Um.
what's next
When Janet left, she left behind the baby-faced Zoe who was responsible for Simon's daily life. She arrived a little early and skillfully took over the waiter team. She also arranged for Simon's accompanying bodyguards to live in the annex building and summoned the female guards of the villa to provide some security. examine.
The six big goblin extended Lincolns arrived last, and after getting out of the car, they gathered around again.
Kate didn't react at the Palisade. Of course she wouldn't give in this time. She also signaled Rachel to occupy Simon's other side. Rachel always felt that she shouldn't be here and wondered what the situation was, but Still following Kate's eyes, she followed the instructions.
Simon led everyone into the villa and asked Kate: "Would you like something to drink? You don't have to worry about getting drunk when you come here."
Kate tilted her face and looked at the man: "Simon, do you want to get Rachel and me drunk?"
Simon smiled and said: "I never do anything with a drunk woman. It's too boring and smells bad. If you vomit, it will be a lifetime problem. If you are drunk, I will stay away from you."
Kate made a disgusted expression: "I feel shadowed by what you said."
"But it's okay to drink a little before going to bed."
He said that he had already entered the villa.
Kate pointed to the inner courtyard: "I want to swim."
In fact, I think about Palisade, but she is not as open-minded as a group of big goblins.
"no problem."
Simon was very talkative and said to Zoe: "Prepare two sets of swimsuits for Kate and Rachel."
Rachel: “…”
Did I say anything
The swimming pool here is bigger. The mountainside mansion on the Palisade only occupies one acre. Just looking at it here, it's more than three acres.
Summer nights in Los Angeles, which has a Mediterranean climate, are very cool, with temperatures only around 15 degrees.
Under the guidance of the maid, the two girls took a shower first, then changed into swimsuits and came out. The swimming pool was already very busy.
Without outsiders, the six big goblins were more relaxed. They didn't even need swimsuits, they were just natural mermaids, and the sounds of play and laughter could be heard from far away.
Moreover, there is a faint mist in the swimming pool, like... water vapor
Know this is a heated pool.
However, the outdoor heated swimming pool with an area of at least 500 square meters consumes electricity.
Walking closer, Simon sat on a lounge chair. He also changed his clothes and wore a cotton bathrobe. He handed two wine glasses to them: "Try it, vodka. It is said that this kind was only supplied to high-level officials in Moscow of the former Soviet Union. "
Kate took it curiously and obviously didn't notice the smile on the corner of Simon's mouth. She brought it to her mouth and took a sip. She immediately started to stick out her tongue: "It's so spicy. Simon, you are so bad."
Rachel also tasted it and almost coughed out.
At this time, a group of mermaids swam over again and formed a row at the edge of the swimming pool at Simon's feet.
Simon patiently handed the goblins a glass of wine, and said to Kate: "You are not used to it, just drink a few more times and it will be fine."
The goblins lying by the pool were also so excited that they stuck out their tongues. A certain little fox put the cup aside and did not intend to drink anymore. He also discovered a problem and raised his head and asked: "Simon, why don't you drink it yourself?" ?”
"It's too spicy, just watch you drink it."
“…”
The goblins looked at each other, gathered a little closer, and suddenly stretched out their hands together to drag Simon into the swimming pool.
Amid the laughter, the already steaming water in the pool seemed to be boiling.
Kate and Rachel looked at each other, took off their bathrobes, walked a little further, and carefully slid into the water. The water temperature was just right and made people want to scream in comfort. Moreover, such an exaggerated constant temperature bath is much more comfortable than taking a hot bath in the bathtub.
Although.
Simon and six big goblins were playing together not far away. What happened immediately made people blush and want to run away.
