hunt hollywood

Lina is looking down at the minutes of the meeting in the morning, and she will also participate in the production as an agent.It's not her job, but for the future, even without extra pay, it's an important qualification, along with solid work experience.

Hearing Annika's question suddenly, Lena looked up at her, then lowered her head again, and said with a smile: "When Simon is working, he usually doesn't care what a woman looks like."

Annika also smiled: "What I'm asking is how is my work performance, what did you think?"

"If your performance is not good enough, it is impossible to appear here today," Lina affirmed, and then said: "I was just wondering, what are the exact ages of those two women?"

When Annika heard Lina's confirmation, she relaxed a bit, and then began to gossip: "I guess..." After speaking, she came to her senses, glanced at the two servants of the Wei family who were next to Lina in the front row, lowered her voice, and came together. To Lena's ear: "I guess, their daughters are old enough to climb into a bed in Westeros."

Lena tilted her head to push away Annika's head. She was not as cautious as her friend. She continued to flip through the documents in front of her and said, "Simon didn't hide this. Why are you so careful?"

Annika still didn't say much, but instead said with some expectation: "It would be great if I can still have the maintenance level of those two women when I'm 40 years old."

Even if Annika is a career-oriented woman, it is impossible not to care about her appearance and figure.

Lina glanced at her sideways, and couldn't help teasing: "I'm afraid it's not easy, women of your Nordic origin are more likely to age."

Annika immediately feigned displeasure: "Hey, are you racist?"

Annika's light-colored hair and light blue eyes, coupled with her overly fair complexion, and even her name, all have an obvious Nordic style.

Lina smiled and said, "I'm a little Latin mixed race, how dare I discriminate against you white noble ladies."

"It seems so." Annika brushed her hair coquettishly, and raised her head slightly: "Westeros likes girls with fairer skin, and you are not as good as me in this regard."

Lina heard that Annika was beautiful, and gave her a blank look: "People's preferences will change, not to mention, Simon prefers girls with soft faces like us, your face is too three-dimensional, and your mouth is not small enough, Simon definitely doesn't like it. "

"Hey, who just said that people's preferences can change?" General Annika said, gossip again, and leaned into Lina's ear again: "Why does he like women with small mouths, isn't it..."

Lina smiled and pushed a certain female hooligan away: "You can see for yourself if you have a chance in the future."

"Then you call me next time."

"I wanted to call you this time, but I was rejected by Simon just now."

"Then you are really stupid. Just looking at those two women, you can tell that the timing is wrong." Annika looked very disappointed, and then it was obvious that she hadn't forgotten what happened just now, and she opened herself slightly, which is not really counted. With a big mouth, he said vaguely, "Is this... enough?"

Lina smiled and stared over again: "If you want a man, go to the bar to find one tonight."

"I don't want a man, my boyfriend hasn't changed the battery for a long time."

Lina was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses and slapped Annika with a smile: "If you are a hooligan again, I will drive you out of the car."

Annika and Lena came and went a few times, and after joking around, they finally became a little more serious and said, "Have you noticed that Hollywood is now developing towards a matriarchal society?"

This turning point is a bit big, Lena is curious: "What do you mean?"

"Let's make a list," Annika said, "Hollywood Seven, Daenerys' Amy Pascal, and MGM's Shirley Lansing, although there are only two, they are actually equivalent to Most of Hollywood. Oh, and Nancy Brill, as well as many female executives who have emerged in recent years, including the two of us. By the way, there is one of the three major Hollywood agencies, Nancy Joseph of ICM Sen, look, is there such a trend?"

Lina understood, but shook her head: "You are too optimistic, Annie, Hollywood is still dominated by men, or in other words, Hollywood is almost dominated by men, and we are all just his vassals."

"I know," Annika said, "but, Westeros has started to recede more and more behind the scenes now, maybe one day he will completely lose interest in Hollywood and let it go completely. By then, Hollywood will be our women You have to know that some trends, once formed, are difficult to reverse."

Lina thought about it for a moment, but couldn't refute, so she asked with a smile: "Even so, what do you want to do by then, start a feminist movement, and drive more men out of Hollywood?"

"Well, I haven't thought that far."

"Then don't think about it, "The Blair Witch" will start shooting in a week, so let's think about how to do this project well."

Annika did not object, she and Lena reviewed the morning meeting, and said after a while: "I have recently quietly studied the case of "Ghost Story", and it can only be said to be a miracle, Lena, what do you think of "The Blair Witch?" "How much will the next box office be?"

"Since it is still the idea provided by Simon himself, the box office of 5000 million US dollars is the bottom line that Daenerys can accept. I think it is not a big problem. If it is lower, it will be our failure. And if it can break through [-] million, I am in Simon You can stand there.”

Annika looked disappointed: "So you haven't stood still?"

"Yeah, you'd be naive if you thought you could please Simon with just one face."

Annika raised a slender hand and gestured slightly, with a bad smile: "Actually, I just want to ask, can you sit still?"

Lena: "..."

Annie's truck was going too fast, and Lena was thrown into a ditch by a big bend before she realized it. Then she threw away the folder in her hand, pressed Annika on the seat, and cleaned it up hard.

Lena's physical fitness after exercising every day is obviously better than Annika's. In the end, Annika had to beg for mercy before she was let go.

Everyone's time is precious.

Since she was not able to stay overnight with a certain man and returned to downtown Boston, Lena boarded a plane with the others and flew back to Los Angeles to prepare for the final filming of "The Blair Witch".

Back in Los Angeles, the team immediately began to make final revisions to the script according to the results discussed at the meeting, and to find a suitable photographer. In fact, Paul Greengrass had already searched for it in advance, but compared to the "Blair Witch" project It is a little expensive, and the team officially signed a contract with Simon after obtaining Simon's permission.

Simon didn't object to that either.

Because the photographer's name is Oliver Wood.

This photographer and Paul Greengrass are also British, both of them are middle-aged, they met very early, and had some cooperation in their early years.

In the 80s, Oliver Wood took the lead in developing in Hollywood and successfully became one of the first-line photographers. He has shot "Die Hard 2" and other films. The latest big production is John Wu's "Face Changing".However, although he is on the top line, Oliver Wood has not been nominated for an Oscar so far because he has been shooting TV dramas or commercial films for more than 20 years since his debut.

This also keeps the other party's worth within the acceptable range of the budget of "The Blair Witch".

Moreover, there is another reason why Simon has no opinion.

Oliver Wood was the original cinematographer for the "Bourne Bourne" trilogy in the original time and space.

Looking at it now, this is obviously also because Wood and Greenglass have known each other for a long time, and it also proves that the two are quite a perfect pair of partners.

Therefore, Simon understands that there is no need for him to deliberately promote anything in the future. This time "The Blair Witch" will be run-in, and the subsequent "Public Enemy", directed by Paul Greengrass, will naturally fall into the hands of Oliver Wood. Just right.

Simon spent the weekend in Boston to entertain guests and flew back to Los Angeles on Monday morning.

The recent Daenerys Entertainment is not just the new annual financial report just released, due to the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "The Matrix", "Public Enemy", "The Blair Witch", "High School Musical", "Celebrity [-]" State, "Elizabeth" and a series of large and small film projects are being intensively promoted, and people from all walks of life in the circle are also making frequent moves.

Simon left for a week, returned to Hollywood, and immediately became the center of attention.

Malibu, Daenerys Studios.

Time comes to October 10th, Monday afternoon on the West Coast.

An audition was going on in an office building in the administrative area of ​​the film city. Regarding the heroine of "High School Musical", the long corridors and the vacated waiting room were full of young teenagers and girls.

The original two actresses, Christina Aguilera has signed, Britney Spears was removed.

It's not just "High School Musical". The father of a certain girl was arrested by the police on the spot because he was involved in a very bad case of raping a 13-year-old girl. The matter has nothing to do with the girl, and it is impossible for Daenerys Entertainment to train each other again, so Daenerys Records also terminated the contract with the girl, and there will be no more singles and the like.

Lynn Spears, who had been in fear for a long time because her husband insisted on doing something, could easily guess what was going on when it happened. The poor woman was called to the police station that night. The rescued underage girl and the deep bite marks on the arms of the black policeman relaxed their tense nerves after one night.

It was like some kind of relief.

The day after the incident, George Norman came to the door, did not mention the events of the previous night at all, and only signed a secret agreement with the Spears family.

200 million is definitely not there, but here is still a compensation worth 30 million US dollars, which will be paid over 5000 years in the form of a secret trust. US dollars, enough for a family to live a decent life.

Then the Spears family would need to promise to leave L.A. and move anywhere else as if nothing had happened.George Norman also directly showed Lynn Spears the original recording evidence here, saying that it is okay for the other party to continue to make trouble. Not only is it impossible to get anything, even she herself will go to prison for extortion.

Lynn Spears signed the deal without any struggles.

Then, a stranger came to the door and sent another divorce agreement. Lynne Spears continued to sign, and was reminded by the other party, as if she never remembered Jamie Spears.As for other relatives of Jamie Spears, this side will be responsible for the notification.

The supernatural stranger also helped the Spears family change their new identity and surname. Lynn Spears picked a little on a map of the United States. Three days later, the family of six moved to a small town in northern Florida. Spears also got a job as a music teacher at a local school.

And then there is no more then.

The other children were fine. Britney obviously couldn't accept the sudden change. After crying and making noises, the little girl even guessed some of the inside story, and had a big fight with her mother, but it didn't help.Even if she came out of that small town in the future, there would be no room for her in the North American entertainment industry.

On the whole matter, Simon listened to Neil Bennett's oral report for a few follow-ups, and only said one thing that he understood, and ignored it.

Occasionally just thought of.

The former Britney Spears was imprisoned by her father as a mental patient for more than ten years. This time, she may not be famous, but she will be ordinary, at least she will have a different life from before.

Of course, Simon didn't mean to excuse himself when he thought so.

Good people need psychological comfort.

Even if the final ending of a little girl in the new timeline would be even worse, he would not bother about it.From where Simon stood at this moment, the whole thing was just a very inconspicuous little ripple in his life.

As for the absence of a Britney Spear in the history of North American music, it is also irrelevant.

There is no problem in this world without anyone.

Another follow-up of the matter was an unnamed gossip in the circle that someone wanted to blackmail a certain bigwig in Hollywood with his daughter. As a result, not only did he end up miserable, but his daughter was completely expelled from Hollywood. The chance to stand up.

The spread of the matter is not widespread, and all kinds of ambiguity, but for the people in the game, it is easy to get a seat, so some unknown vigilance and introspection are inevitable.

The bustling audition scene.

Linda Vargas, Simon's queen casting director, had to leave after staring here for an hour. She didn't have that much time to follow up the whole process, and she had to report some projects to her boss later.

The reason why it appeared here was Simon's order.

According to Simon's request, Linda Vargas must be responsible for projects involving similar themes in the future, including the final decision on the role.

The main purpose is to avoid some situations that are too bad to be dealt with to the greatest extent.

Except for occasionally cultivating it on a whim, Simon is really not interested in little girls who want nothing, and little boys are even less interested.But in the Hollywood circle, there are not a few people with certain special hobbies, or, because of certain deeply rooted concepts, this is a common phenomenon in the entire Western society.Simon boasted that he didn't have the ability to eliminate it, so he could only reduce it as much as possible.

Chapter 1220 Chicken

When Linda Vargas left the audition scene and rushed to Simon's office, Simon also happened to wrap up a meeting.

The guest was Victor Merisis from Africa.

Victor accompanied an investment promotion inspection team from the Angolan government to the United States, visited Simon by the way, and reported on things in Africa.

After the incident in Rwanda three years ago, the superficial power of the Westeros system in Africa has been shrinking, but its actual expansion has never stopped.

Victor Merisis is one of the most eye-catching moves.

The white Portuguese-Angolan man has been quietly operating in Africa in recent years with great success.

In addition to the vast coffee plantation covering an area of ​​600 square kilometers in southern Angola has gradually taken shape, and foreign trade business from Africa to the United States, Europe and China has also developed rapidly. Victor Merisis has also established close ties with the Angolan government and started With the support of the Westeros system, gradually set foot in Angola's oil and mining business.

These are just the surface.

On the other hand, under the good operation of Victor Merisis, through the training team, private security company, and local mercenaries attached to the arms deal, the Westeros system has also quietly built a military force in Angola that can be used at any time. Pull up an armed force of 2000 people.

Even, at the critical moment, with the penetration of the Angolan military, as long as enough chips are given, this number can be rapidly expanded by more than 10 times.

African lives are worthless and can be bought with money.

In this meeting, apart from discussing various businesses and further penetration in Angola, Simon mainly arranged one thing.

Regarding the Savimbi armed forces in southern Angola who have repeatedly reconciled with the Angolan government and then fell out.

In recent years, the Angolan government, which has purchased a large amount of arms with the assistance of the Westeros system, has continued to encircle and suppress Savimbi's armed forces. The current territory of the warlord leader has long been separated from Simon's coffee plantation, and he is increasingly shrunk to a corner in the southwest.

Simon's request was simple, to find a way to keep the warlord alive for a few more years, and then, at the right time, kill the chickens to make an example.

This is also something Simon has been thinking about for a long time. At the end of last year, after the top of the Westeros Building in Manhattan, his ideas became clearer.

Kill an African chicken to scare some monkeys in the Middle East.

The general routine in the plan is also very simple.

Savimby's men would attack the coffee plantation of the Westeros family without authorization a few years later, causing some casualties, and then, although poor Mr. Savimby didn't know about it, he took the initiative to apologize and make up for it. The private army will still decisively unite with the Angolan government army to wipe out the opponent neatly.

Moreover, in order to ensure a deterrent effect, Simon plans to kill more than one chicken at that time.

The meaning conveyed is also very simple.

Simon doesn't care about other things, but if someone dares to do something to the Westeros system, such as letting someone fly a plane into the Westeros building, even if it has something to do with this matter, whether you are a warlord or a prince, no matter No matter how glamorous and innocent you appear on the surface, as long as you are found out, you will never escape the cruel revenge of the Westeros family.

Victor Merisis was not aware of these thoughts of Simon, but he was also instilled by Simon with another concept called self-respect, so he had no objection to Simon's decision.

When Linda Vargas came here, she happened to see her boss sending Merisis out. After Simon sent him away, they came to the small meeting room next door with a projection screen.

The conversation then turned from Africa to Hollywood.

Girl A followed into the door to help operate the projector, and Simon watched the audition videos of all the candidate heroines under Linda's explanation.

Among them, Asian faces accounted for the majority, and many Simons knew each other, such as Meigu in the movie, Michelle Yang in the movie that is still in theaters, and the Japanese action actress Yukari Oshima who became famous in the Hong Kong film industry, and even the very Hope to break into Hollywood, but in Simon's eyes, they are more like Miss Guan and Miss Li who join in the fun.

Frankly speaking, even the beautiful people Guan Damei and Li Damei who have a lot of troubles, their performances are actually very good, obviously they have been carefully prepared.The problem is that for the character of Trinity, Simon doesn't feel it.

Pretty is not everything.

Even, seeing Guan Damei's audition, Simon inexplicably thought of another woman, the mother of the Kardashian sisters, Kris Jenner.

Unlike later, the whole family was so tanned that people couldn’t even distinguish their races. Kris Jenner, who is also very resistant to aging, is now in her early forties, and she is still white and soft. People want to rub it when they see it Fan beautiful woman.Moreover, it is obvious that at first glance, this woman is at least five points similar to Guan Damei. If you compare it with the short-haired Guan in memory, the similarity immediately rises to seven points.

What a wonderful fate.

Linda Vargas knew that her boss was very interested in Asian women in the past two years. After playing an audition video, she glanced at the slightly distracted expressions of the men around her, and reminded softly: "Simon, most of them are in Los Angeles right now. , can you call me to have a look in person?"
