Chapter 039 (1/2)
At about 7:30 p.m., outside a mansion on the hillside of Beverly Hills.
The wine red ford car stopped at the edge of the narrow mountain road. Simon got out of the car and turned to the other side. He opened the door and watched the car naturally pull on her Janet Johnston. He joked in a low voice: ”isn't this the peace before the storm?”
Because it's a very free cocktail party, although Simon changed his shirt and trousers, Janet is still the pink dress of the day. However, at this time, the woman seems to have completely changed a person, without the usual madness and randomness, a look of impeccable ladies.
Janet, hearing the joke, glanced at Simon and pinched him on the arm without a trace.
There was a sharp pain in his arm, and Simonton was relieved.
All right.
That's normal.
Entering the mansion, Simon and Janet are led down to the pool in the front yard by the waiter. Brian De Palma and David giller welcome them together.
At the reception, many guests noticed that Brian De Palma and David giller were walking towards a young man and woman at the same time. They all looked at each other curiously with a few whispers.
After the two sides said hello, the two middle-aged people immediately became obviously curious about the elegant Janet around Simon. They are still quite familiar with Simon's personal situation, so they are very puzzled why Simon can suddenly bring such a female companion today.
After all, Janet is more like a lady from a rich family than a nobody who wants to get a ride into Hollywood.
Feeling their curiosity, Simon volunteered: ”Brian, David, this is Janet Johnston. She is a painter. Jennie, this is Mr. Brian De Palmer, and this is Mr. David giller. ”
Janet listened to Simon's introduction, shook hands with the two middle-aged people gracefully, and complimented them just right.
After everyone's greetings, Brian De Palma has to meet other guests. David giller whispers to Simon. Mike medova, President of Orion pictures, will arrive in a moment. Then he takes him and Janet to shuttle between the guests tonight, and enthusiastically introduces Simon.
Hollywood seems to be big, but in fact, as long as you break in, the circle will become very small.
Just for the first time, Simon met Al Pacino, Michael Kane, Harvey cage, Melanie Griffith, who were once completely out of reach Hollywood stars.
Of course, when we meet for the first time, we just talk a few words. Naturally, it is impossible to establish any friendship immediately. But Simon also knows that just this kind of contact opportunity is a dream for many people who want to enter this circle desperately.
The truth is very simple.
They met each other face to face and looked familiar to each other. If there is a possibility of cooperation in the future, they can connect, ”XXX, oh, I met at the Party of Bryan's family,” and ”XXX, who is that?” The results of the two reactions must be completely different.
After patiently taking Simon to socialize, David giller also walked away for a while.
Simon and Janet stand together at the railings overlooking Los Angeles, each taking a cocktail break.
Janet sipped the cocktail gracefully. Simon looked at the bright city at the foot of the mountain and joked, ”little boy, did you suddenly have ambition?”
”No,” Simon said, shaking his head. ”Just thinking of a movie, there's a guy, well, very unprofessional.”
Janet noticed the inexplicable emotion that flashed through Simon's face and wondered, ”huh?”
Simon looked up, drank all the wine in his hand and returned to normal. He said with a smile, ”nothing. It's a movie that hasn't been made yet, so I can't tell you.”
