Chapter 647 (1/2)
Simon did not return to Woodside's mountain villa that evening, but went to her apartment in Atherton with housekeeper Alice Ferguson after Tim Berners Lee's reception.
In fact, there are some small considerations.
The day before yesterday afternoon, I couldn't help sleeping with another female assistant. I realized that Celia was as ambitious as Sophia. Simon didn't want to give women too much fantasy space, so he deliberately ignored her.
The next morning, Zoe parks, who had a little affair with the housekeeper, was specially called to prepare breakfast, and girl a naturally followed.
So there was a man and three women on the breakfast table.
During the meal, looking at her ruddy face, while eating a salad at will, Simon looked at the Housekeeper on the laptop screen at hand. Simon said to the baby faced girl, ”Zoe, don't go back with me at the weekend. Take Ellie to Hawaii for two days. Well, remember not to tan.”
The intimacy with the housekeeper was caught by Simon at the beginning. Now, it seems that he has been labeled as lace by his boss.
However, since the housekeeper entered igritte, Zoe actually had little contact with Alice. At this time, the baby faced girl looked pitifully at her boss and then at Alice.
It's nothing to go to Hawaii for the weekend. I'm looking forward to it.
It's just, what's the point of being with a workaholic who's still dealing with email at breakfast.
Just like Simon forced her to take a rest last time, Alice looked up at someone who bullied her last night and subconsciously said, ”I still have a job.”
Simon, as he did at the beginning of the year, said, ”not now.”
Alice's clear blue eyes were staring at a guy. After a moment of confrontation, she realized that her resistance was doomed to be invalid, so she turned her attention to the laptop again.
Let's go to Hawaii.
Anyway, he can't stare at himself all the time, just change his work place.
Unexpectedly, the man seemed to be aware of her mind, and added: ”in the afternoon, I'm only allowed to take a change of clothes, but my laptop can't get on the plane. In addition, I'll lend you my villa in Hawaii. Remember to do a cleaning at the weekend. ”
Alice immediately raised her head again and bargained, ”tomorrow morning.”
”This afternoon,” Simon insisted, adding, ”and I'll have Zoe with you every weekend.”
After another confrontation for a moment, the housekeeper was still defeated and had to acquiesce.
As a boss, Simon certainly wants his employees to work tirelessly like cattle.
As a man, Simon doesn't want his woman to only know about work all day, leading to haggard appearance and even physical exhaustion.
Compared with B, C and D, the housekeeper and Simon have maintained the original contract. Simon bought this mansion in Lindenwood community in Atherton and gave it to the housekeeper. Claire didn't have this kind of treatment. After leaving, she needed to be self reliant.
After breakfast, we all leave the housekeeper's mansion. Simon's destination is C girl's tincobail company. On the way, he will send the housekeeper to igritte headquarters.
Arriving at dinkbail's office building, C girl has started a meeting. Simon temporarily borrows Claire's office to start a day's work.
Today is May 20th, Friday.
Another box office week in Hollywood.
Just in the past week, from May 13 to May 19, star gate directed by Michael Bay won the first place in the box office of a single week without any doubt, earning $36.61 million in the first seven days of the week.
Although there will be big movies coming out in the next few weeks, with the box office revenue of $36.61 million in the first week, as long as the box office decline in the next week is not too fierce, the total domestic box office of Stargate will not exceed 100 million.
In contrast, the other two new movies, when a man falls in love with a woman, starring Meg Ryan, only made $11.29 million in the first seven days of the week.
In order to save money, Disney invited Andy Garcia, who is not too well-known, to be the leading actor. The biggest achievement of this actor who has been in Hollywood for many years is that he won an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor in Godfather 3 a few years ago, which has little box office appeal. In this film, when a man falls in love with a woman, Andy Garcia failed to compete with MEG ·Ryan has the same strong spark as the hero and heroine in ”sleepless in Seattle” and ”when Harry meets Sally”.
As a result, when a man falls in love with a woman's final budget is $25 million, which is a real saving compared to Meg Ryan's $7 million high pay after last year's sleepless in Seattle. Only the box office of $11.29 million in the first week, considering the mediocre reputation of the film and the subsequent series of blockbusters, the total box office of this love movie in North America may be only about $30 million.
Through the overseas and subsequent release, Disney can recover the cost, but it is basically a waste of time, and once again wasted a summer opening time.Black director Spike Lee's new film ”deep race” is even more modest at the box office, earning only $3.91 million in its first week of production.
With the success of the last ”black tide”, Spike Lee's new film received $15 million in investment from Colombia, with $3.91 million at the beginning and about $10 million at the local box office. The overseas market of black ethnic films is very narrow, and Colombia is once again in the water.
In a word, Spike Lee has been cooperating with universal pictures a few years ago, and three consecutive works have been produced by universal investment. It's a pity that after Daniels entertainment completed its acquisition of MCA, because of the turmoil during the integration period of the two companies, this kind of cooperative relationship has not extended to Daniels entertainment.
As one of the most outstanding black directors in Hollywood, Spike Lee's personal works are limited to the audience, and the box office is usually not too high, but because the production budget is often low, he can usually achieve good profits, and even if he loses money, he won't lose too much, so he is definitely similar to Woody Allen's directors who are worth attracting.
After watching last week's box office report, Simon specially sent an email to Ella doechman, asking him to take the time to chat with Spike Lee, and try to win his next movie while the other party has just experienced a failure. In fact, it doesn't matter whether the final profit or loss. Doing so can further increase the diversity of Denise Entertainment's films and shape the corporate brand It's of great benefit.
In the new week, two new heavyweight films will be released in North American Theaters, namely, MGM's ”speed of life and death” and Warner Bros.'s ”gambler Ma Huali”.
”Speed of life and death” is directed by Martin Campbell, who successfully produced ”Wonder Woman” and starred by two Hollywood stars, kenu Reeves and Sandra Bullock.
Once upon a time, the original ”speed of life and death” was not popular among the three creators, Jane de bond, Gino Reeves and Sandra Bullock. However, the film made an outstanding achievement in North America box office with a production cost of US $30 million.
This time, influenced by Simon, the ”big butterfly”, the three main creators are all hot in Hollywood. As a result, the production budget has increased from US $30 million in the original time and space to US $45 million, basically reaching the level of a blockbuster.
In order to compete with Batman: the rise of the dark knight on June 3, MGM has also made a big effort this time, preparing 2869 opening screens for speed of life and death, with a budget of $20 million.
