Chapter 596 (1/2)

Simon and Anthony discuss various topics in the near future until night falls when Janet comes to call for dinner.

There are only Mr. and Mrs. Simon, Melbourne and Anthony at the table tonight.

In the morning, Jennifer flew to New York to spend the weekend with her parents, in order to avoid visiting Anthony. Veronica went to Finland on Monday to review the statistics of Nokia's 1993 financial report, and will return tomorrow. The other two were still in the crib.

After dinner, the family continued to chat about some more relaxed trivia. At more than eight o'clock, Anthony left for a villa of the nearby westrow family to have a rest. Things here have been dealt with. He will return to Australia early tomorrow morning.

After putting Melbourne to sleep and sending her to his room, Janet looked at the other two kids and then went upstairs to the bedroom.

Simon is sitting at the head of the bed with his laptop on his lap, checking today's email.

After taking a bath and drying her hair, Janet changed into a simple wine red silk nightgown and fell down on the big bed. She rolled over like a little girl, climbed up to Simon and leaned against the man to look at the computer screen.

On the page is an email sent by Amy Pascal himself in the afternoon about the negotiation results of a film project called Apollo 13.

The script of the project is adapted from the story of three astronauts miraculously returning from space after Apollo 13's launch in 1970. The film will be directed by well-known Hollywood director Ron Howard, and will continue to cooperate with Tom Hanks. The budget cost is 50 million US dollars, initially scheduled for next summer.

In my memory, ”Apollo 13” is also a very popular movie in the 1990s, with a global box office of more than 300 million US dollars.

Tom Hanks's pay this time increased to $10 million from $8 million for last summer's ”sleepless in Seattle.”.

”Apollo 13” is a group play. Hanks's salary of $10 million is a bit high, but Simon doesn't intend to veto it. Not to mention that Hanks is going to be the God of Hollywood after Forrest Gump. From the early ”pink League” to the upcoming ”Forrest Gump” which will be released in this summer season, both sides have been very happy to work together for many times in a row. Both sides should give each other a 10 million dollar salary.

Moreover, through the two films ”Philadelphia Story” and ”Forrest Gump”, Simon will personally ensure that Hanks creates an Oscar winning miracle as he did in the original time and space.

Many people in Hollywood always think that danilisi entertainment is not generous enough in terms of actors' remuneration, but Simon is confident that he has never done anything wrong to anyone over the years.

Think that the film pay is too low, Hollywood is just a big studio, there are seven can choose, do not cooperate is. I think Denise entertainment makes too much money. Of course, there are share contracts, but you can't get enough basic film pay and want share terms. Simon doesn't have such rules here.

Janet was obviously not interested in these things. She looked at Simon next to her and said another thing: ”those little flower bottles you keep only have 181 left in a week. This kind of speed will soon be eliminated.”

It's not just Nana, a fruit group in London. Seeing that their daughter is treated like a princess, many parents can't help putting forward all kinds of additional conditions.

Simon was not polite about it at all. All the girls whose parents were not secure enough were eliminated. In just one week, there are only 181 Girls left in 200.

After typing out a short affirmative reply to Amy, Simon opened another e-mail and said, ”I don't want these girls to be tied up by their parents too much, and I don't want those people to harass me in the name of their daughters. Of course, none of them have this tendency.”

Simon didn't choose girls in North America and Western Europe, largely because of this reason. He basically figured out between the two regions and couldn't get rid of them.

Janet had no objection to this, and said, ”you might as well have chosen from the orphans. There's no trouble.”

Simon shook his head and said, ”it's too sensitive. I don't want to be an adult dealer.”

Janet's eyes rolled. ”Shall I do it?”

Simon leaned over Janet's head and said, ”didn't I do what you did?”

”Yeah,” Janet said, shaking her head and echoing Simon's movements, ”I'm you, you're me.”

Simon laughed and read a familiar Chinese sentence: ”I have you in the mud, you have me in the mud.”

Janet's Chinese has reached a deep attainments unconsciously, but although she understood this sentence, she didn't know its meaning and asked, ”what do you mean?”

Simon remembered that this song ”my Nong Ci” was written by Guan Daosheng, Zhao Mengfu's wife, in order to dissuade her husband from marrying a concubine. He immediately decided not to tell Janet too much about it. He simply said, ”it's an ancient Chinese word to describe love each other.”

Janet blinked. ”Where's the whole word?”

Simon thought about it and shook his head. ”I can't remember it very clearly. It's just these two sentences.”

Janet shuffled, ”Oh?””Well, the whole word is like this. You and I are so passionate... ”

Simon just read the whole word.

”It's a very good word,” Janet listened carefully, her eyes shining brightly at Simon, and pursued: ”what's the problem?”

Simon gently patted on the laptop, the moment of male chauvinism attached body, tone dignified way: ”no!”

”Ha ha.”

Jeanette smiles and no longer asks. She glances at the time in the lower right corner of her laptop and suddenly says, ”it's time for the goblins in London to get up. Let's have a look. Let's have a look.”

”What's there to see when the little girl gets up?”

”Look at it.”

Simon was shaken a few times by Janet, so he had to turn off the browser mailbox and click on the monitoring software on the desktop to call up the picture of London. The display effect of the 12 inch high-performance customized laptop is still far less than the HD picture of the villa basement monitoring room.

The scene cuts to the training room on the ground floor of London villa.

It's early morning in England.

The remaining seven girls in this group are practicing basic skills in a supine position under the guidance of the ballet teacher. Janet learned a little ballet when she was a child, and knew that this is the most basic ground body training, mainly to correct the girls' body posture and lay the foundation for future regular training.

Ballet is a very professional dance. Those ballet courses that begin to teach formal dance movements after just a few class hours are totally disorderly. It is harmful and useless to practice too much.
