Amy smiled unabated: "Well, I'm vulgar."
The two were talking, passing by the Dume Point Manor, which had also become a private territory and was being fenced for construction, and unexpectedly found Janet and Catherine walking out of the manor, and Nancy stopped the car.
Construction has recently begun on Simon's replica of the 'Iron Man Mansion' after buying Point Dume Park.
Janet was going to Australia to celebrate Simon's birthday, but Catherine didn't plan to go there together, so Janet was appointed as the supervisor of Dumay Manor by Janet.
The four women all knew each other, and after exchanging warm greetings, they rushed to a nearby restaurant for lunch.Amy's intention of coming here this time is actually the same as Nancy's, and she also wants to help pass on the birthday presents given to Simon by some other executives of the company.
After lunch, Amy and Nancy left, and Janet began to pack a lot of luggage for Australia this time in her and Simon's villa on the west side of Cape Dume Manor.
The next day, Janet boarded a private plane to Australia at eight o'clock in the morning.
After a 16-hour flight, when I arrived in Melbourne, it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon on Monday in Australia.
Janet didn't follow the driver who came to pick her up from Johnston's house back to the suburban mansion, arranged where to go for her luggage, and rushed directly to the "Batman" studio in the city center.
Today's filming is a confrontation between Batman and Catwoman, and the location is in a street in Futscrae District, west of Melbourne.When Janet arrived, the alley had been closed by the crew, and the sky had basically darkened.
When I saw Simon, he was speaking for the three catgirls.
That's right, three actors in standard Catwoman costumes.
Although Daenerys Entertainment arranged enough physical training for Adam Baldwin and Valerie Golino in the early stage, many scenes in the film still required the use of substitutes.Because Catwoman has higher requirements in physical skills and fighting, this character uses substitutes more frequently.
In fact, during the filming of the film, there were seven substitutes for Catwoman, some of which were used to help Valerie Golino complete possible dangerous shots, and some of which replaced her in more complicated professional physical movements.
Hollywood's current action scenes generally stay at the level of drunk street fights.In order to realize his vision, Simon spent no less energy on the stuntman than the actor himself before filming started.
Catwoman has a gymnast background, and two of Valerie Golino's stand-ins are professional gymnasts who have participated in the Olympics.Although he didn't win a medal, his strength should not be underestimated. The physical movements he can complete are far more exciting than the simple somersaults in some movies.
Simon set the action scenes of "Batman" completely with reference to the Hollywood action blockbusters that have matured many years later.In order to prevent the trained team from being married off, Daenerys Entertainment also signed a long-term employment contract with all the action actors participating in this performance.
Janet came to Simon, threw herself into the man's arms without hesitation and began to get tired.
The two kissed for a while before Simon pushed away some women in his arms, lowered his head and asked, "I also said that I will go to the mansion after work tonight. You won't come directly from the airport, will you?"
Janet nodded: "Yeah."
"It's over, your parents will definitely blame me."
"I have already greeted my parents in advance." Janet put her arms around Simon's waist and rubbed against the man's body. Then she was willing to let him go and said, "You can start working and leave me alone."
"Then be my temporary assistant," Simon said casually, and introduced Janet: "You must know Adam and Valerie, this is Anna, and Michelle, they are all great Gymnast. Oh, this is Peter, my assistant director, he's from New Zealand..."
Janet warmly greeted everyone one by one, and quickly integrated into the small circle of the crew.
The sky has completely darkened, and today's shooting has officially started.
The wonderful fights on the screen often make the audience excited, but in actual shooting, these complex close combat often need to be taken apart and shot one by one.
In this "Batman", Simon adopted the action style of several series after "Captain America 2" in the original time and space. Those cool captain scenes actually need to be disassembled in detail.So, what may be a few seconds of footage on screen may take hours to polish a bit after it's broken up.
At two o'clock in the morning, the crew finished work on time.
After arranging the finishing work, Simon asked Janet, who had been quietly by his side, whether she would return to Johnston's mansion or the Kendall Hotel where the crew stayed next.
Janet didn't choose either place, claiming that she had an apartment in the city where they could live together, and then asked Neil Bennett to drive them to a high-rise apartment in the center of Melbourne.
Chapter 241 A Dream (Revised)
"Kate's movie didn't do well at the box office, and the gossip newspapers made fun of her relationship with you, so I'm embarrassed to come here this time. It just so happens that she stays in Los Angeles to help us look after the house." put up."
In the elevator, Janet held Simon's arm affectionately and told what happened in Los Angeles during this period.
Simon listened with a smile, and said, "Catherine is the kind of director with a strong personal style, but she just hasn't found the type that suits her yet."
Janet asked: "Then what kind of movie do you think Kate is suitable for?"
"War movie," Simon blurted out, and added: "Catherine's realistic lens style is very suitable for showing the fierceness and cruelty of war."
Janet tilted her head and thought for a while, then said: "That's true. Don't look at Kate's shy and unsociable appearance sometimes, but she is actually full of violent tendencies in her bones. When she was in Columbia, many of her paintings It's all bloody."
The ding-dong sound of the elevator interrupted the conversation between the two. Simon glanced at the indicator light. This is the 32nd floor.
The two stepped out of the elevator and walked along the corridor to the door of an apartment.
Janet took out the key from her bag and opened the door. After entering the entrance, she threw off her shoes and walked into the living room barefoot.
Simon followed into the door, intending to bend down to pick up the woman's shoes and put them on the shoe rack next to him, when a faint scent of women came from the surroundings, carrying some indescribable familiarity.
However, this breath of the opposite sex, which should make people feel refreshed, made Simon feel his head swell slightly, as if something wanted to rush out from the depths of his memory.After a brief dizziness, Simon got used to the breath, and his mind became clear again.
He helped Janet put the shoes in order, and took off the shoes himself. There were no men's slippers on the shoe rack, and Simon walked into the living room barefoot like Janet.
Janet handed over a bottle of mineral water and said, "This is the only one in the refrigerator, why don't you call Neil to buy something and deliver it?"
Simon took the mineral water and said with a smile, "Don't bother Neil any more. Besides, this isn't your apartment, is it?"
Janet nodded and said, "When I was 18, I wanted to buy my own apartment in the city, but my parents didn't let me. I lived in Los Angeles most of the time, so there was no such need."
Simon gestured around: "Then here?"
"It's iceberg," Janet said, taking off her coat and throwing it on the sofa, "However, she is on vacation in England recently, and we happen to be able to live here."
Simon was confused for a while before he remembered who Janet was referring to as the 'iceberg': "Is it appropriate for us to live in your aunt's apartment?"
"Of course, I didn't want to listen to the old man's nagging when I went back to Melbourne, so I came here to stay," Janet said indifferently, took a few sips of the mineral water in Simon's hand, threw the bottle away, and wrapped her arms around He came up, put his cheek on Simon's body and whispered: "Did you miss me during this time?"
Simon smiled and supported the woman's light body, saying, "Too busy."
Janet leaned over and grabbed Simon's lips in dissatisfaction, and murmured, "Bite you."
Tired of entanglement for a while, Janet moaned and pointed in one direction. Simon walked over and turned off the living room lights, and then walked towards the bedroom.
Perhaps because of being in a strange environment, various scattered dreams continued throughout the night, and the memories of those people surged out from the deepest part of my mind again.Even, at a certain moment, I knew that I was dreaming, but I couldn't wake up.
Among the various torn fragments, a small figure frequently flashed again, a very well-behaved child, silent, reticent, and perhaps a little autistic.
Often locked in dark cabinets.
A child is wise very early, longing for someone to visit him for a long time, because at that time, he can eat delicious food, get new clothes, and everyone around him becomes kinder.
Broken thoughts drifted away, after all, no concrete picture could be spelled out, only a faint breath engraved in the deepest part of memory.
Later later.
The child became completely alone, living alone like a stubborn little beast in a strange place.
When Simon awoke, there were obvious tear-soaked marks on the pillow.Some drowsily recalled the dreams of last night, but those fragments melted as quickly as ice and snow exposed to the blazing sun after waking up.
Bright light came in from the gap in the curtains, and Simon reached out to pick up the watch on the bedside table and looked at it. It was already 11:55.On weekdays, I wake up at 8 in the morning. Although I slept with Janet a little later last night, it is still a bit abnormal to wake up near noon.
Moreover, I usually have a meeting with Cersei Capital's sub-fund management team in the morning, but today no one called me.
It should be that Janet hung up the calls from those people, wanting to rest for a while.
With that in mind, he took a quick shower after getting out of bed, and changed into the clothes Janet had prepared for him. Simon came to the living room, and the smell of food came from the kitchen.
Simon yelled, and Janet poked her head out from the kitchen, shaking a spoon in her hand and said, "Five minutes, you can watch TV for a while."
Nodding, Simon walked to the refrigerator and opened the cabinet door. It was filled with various fruit drinks. Janet should have just bought it this morning. She took a bottle of mineral water and drank most of it in one go. Simon was going to The kitchen helped, but there was a noise from the entrance.
The security of this high-end apartment is very tight, theoretically, no one should be able to break in without knowing it.
Walking over suspiciously, Simon saw a tall blond woman in a beige turtleneck sweater and black trousers appearing at the entrance, holding a small suitcase in her hand.
When the woman saw Simon, her face turned pale in an instant, her eyes filled with panic and fear, and she stood there dumbfounded as if she had been immobilized.
Simon guessed the woman's identity immediately, but when he saw her, the dizziness he felt when he entered the apartment last night struck again, and many dream-like fragments began to gather in the depths of his memory.
The severe headache seemed to explode the head.
Simon raised his arm with difficulty, trying to rub his temples.It's just that before the arms were raised, the whole person had already passed out on the floor.
"..."
"Simon Westeros was rushed to the hospital, and the Johnston family forcibly blocked the news."
"Simon Westeros is rumored to have a relapse of mental illness."
"According to insiders, Simon Westeros unexpectedly fell into a coma at noon today, probably due to prolonged fatigue."
"Amy Pascal and other Daenerys entertainment executives are flying to Melbourne."
"Affected by the unexpected coma in Westeros, the Japanese stock market plummeted 226 points throughout the day."
"Los Angeles city government spokesman asks Johnston family to release Simon Westeros' condition."
"Stanford expresses concern for Simon Westeros."
"Once something unexpected happens to the genius boy, who will own the huge wealth?"
"Heavy news, after being in a coma for six hours, Simon Westeros woke up around [-]:[-] in the evening, and the Johnston family said that they will hold a press conference at [-] o'clock in the evening to report Westeros' condition .”
"'Batman' Producer Joe Silver Says The Crew Has Been Notified That Filming Will Be Temporarily Suspended For A Week."
"..."
"..."
Waking up again, Simon found that his original memories seemed to have undergone a new integration, some were completely annihilated, and some became clearer.
Lying on the hospital bed, looking around, and noticing Janet's pear-blossoming face next to the bed, Simon felt that he must not faint again.
How can you hurt someone who cares about you?
I also found another figure in the crowd, just glanced at it lightly, then looked away, trying to comfort Janet with a relaxed tone.
In fact, he knew that there was nothing wrong with his body, but under everyone's insistence, Simon patiently did a comprehensive examination and agreed to observe at the hospital for at least three days.
The results of the examination were naturally normal, and Anthony Johnston personally took Simon's attending physician to hold a press conference.
The next day is Simon's birthday.
21th birthday.
After some memories were restored, Simon confirmed that the birthday was real.
It was indeed February 1968, 2.
It's just that they have to spend it in the hospital, and many people have rushed over from the United States.Catherine, Sandra, et cetera, and Amy, Iger, James, and Warner's Terry Semel, among others.
After confirming that Simon woke up, the brief chaos quickly calmed down.
However, I heard that the tabloids in Los Angeles are still discussing how to deal with the billions of dollars in his huge property if Simon has an accident, or if he loses his autonomy due to a relapse.These people obviously didn't know Simon's arrangement with George Norman in advance.
Filming on "Batman" is temporarily on hiatus.
This is not a big deal. Some big names in Hollywood have suspended their movie projects that caused huge investment because of quarreling with their wives. Simon's current status is far higher than that of any star in Hollywood.
The operation of Cersei Capital was taken over by Janet, who also had a fight with his father, complaining that Raymond Johnston deliberately burdened Simon and caused him to be overworked.
Simon has no concerns about Janet taking over Cersei Capital.The positioning of this hedge fund is long-term long-term operation. As long as the Japanese stock market is still rising, it is unlikely to lose money. It is nothing more than a matter of earning more and earning less.
What's more, Simon also knows that Janet is lazy on weekdays, but based on his understanding of her since the two met, Janet is actually in charge of the specific operation of Cersei Capital.
After a while of noise, it was confirmed that Simon was fine, and Amy and others returned to the United States again.
So I have been spending two days in the private medical center sponsored by the Johnston family. I plan to have a comprehensive inspection tomorrow morning. After confirming that it is correct, Janet and Simon are planning to go to the farm they bought in Tasmania to recuperate. , it's quieter there.
A boring day.
After dinner and watching TV together for a while, Janet went to rest next door.
Simon also lay alone on the bed and quickly fell asleep.
There have been no more scattered dreams in the past two days.
perhaps.
There will never be any more.
In the haze, I felt a figure appearing beside the bed, sitting quietly on the chair and watching myself.
Simon woke up immediately because he felt a certain familiar atmosphere, and silently looked at the woman beside the bed.
For so many years, the images in memory seem to have not changed much from this time.
Simon remained silent.
The woman was silent for a moment, tears began to fall down in the faint light, and slowly covered her face and sobbed, mixed with murmured small words.
"I was 17 years old and I didn't know what to do... I gave the Levinsons a lot of money every year, I hope you can live better...they took you on a trip that year, and then I never went back to Birmingham... I found you later... I didn't expect you to show up in San Francisco..."
