Chapter 149 (1/2)
In the evening.
Outside a luxury house on the hillside of palisade, the narrow mountain road is almost impassable due to the crowd of multimedia reporters, and the intensive flashing lights are constantly on.
Before the party, a lot of media offered sky high prices, hoping to get in and shoot, but they were all rejected. However, Simon's refusal attracted more reporters to join in the fun, and some TV stations even drove the live broadcast vehicles.
Compared with the thank you party at the end of June last year, the size of this birthday party has also expanded a lot.
Many projects initiated by danielis pictures are in the early stage of preparation. For the most obvious purpose, Simon's agent Jonathan Friedman took away 100 invitation letters. According to two guests per invitation letter, only the number of wma guests reached the scale of the last party.
Due to the change of identity, Simon's social circle has been expanding rapidly unconsciously for more than half a year. Many guests from New York, San Francisco and other places have come to the party specially. Simon is not stingy and rents two business airplanes to take care of the party.
In addition to the large number of Hollywood natives, the total number of guests at the party exceeded 700, and the number of security, waiters, bands and other service personnel at the party site reached 100. As a result, the spacious One Acre Estate immediately became crowded.
By the time Sandra Bullock arrived, the party had not yet officially started, and the manor was full of people. After exploring the crowd for a long time, she found Simon, who was talking with Warner Bros. CEO Terry Semel, and the atmosphere didn't seem very harmonious.
”Terry, I didn't mean to surprise Warner. I want to make Batman and I like Superman as well. It's that simple. ”
”When you were negotiating with us about Batman, you must have started to get in touch with Sargent. Simon, Warner got the news at the last minute. ”
”You should understand why I'm doing this, Terry. I'm interested in anything now, and its value will suddenly soar a lot. I don't like being treated as a fat sheep all the time. I can only deal with this matter in a low-key way. Moreover, although I have obtained the copyright of Superman, the terms in the contract will not change. Warner still has the right you should have. ”
”Simon, I know you want to buy DC, and I'm sure you have other ideas. But anyway, I hope we can communicate with each other very calmly, so that we can win-win situation, ”said Terry Semel, looking at Simon, then slowing down and reaching out to him, saying,” and happy birthday. ”
Simon and Semel shook hands and said, ”thank you, Terry. Have a good time tonight.”
Sandra Bullock patiently waited for Terry Semel to leave before he stepped forward. Simon had already turned around, hugged her and said, ”Sandy, you are so beautiful tonight.”
”Thank you,” Sandra and Simon separated, stepped back a little, looked at him, and said, ”happy birthday.”
Simon said, ”what about the gifts?”
Sandra took a box out of her purse and handed it to her
Simon took the small box, which was less than two centimeters square, and looked at it in the palm of his hand. He pretended to be dissatisfied and said, ”how small is it?”
Sandra said, ”if you like big, I'll prepare it for you next time.”
Simon looked at Sandra and nodded solemnly: ”the bigger the better.”
Sandra was embarrassed by Simon: ”can you stop staring at me when you talk like this?”
Simon said with a smile, ”I don't mean anything else.”
Sandra gave Simon a white look and said, ”you dare have something else, coward.”
”Too provocative?”
