"The Johnny Carson Tonight Show has resumed. In the past few days, more than 70 production companies have reached an agreement with the writers union. Simon, maybe the strike will end at the end of this month. I have already talked to NBC Sure, they are willing to arrange a special interview with the main creator of "Pulp Fiction", the time is on the 31st, Simon, your schedule should be fine, right?"

In the living room, Mike Medova held a glass of champagne and whispered about it to Simon.

Although it is clear that the screenwriters' strike cannot be ended so easily, and the compromise of the second- and third-tier production companies will only provoke a bigger rebound from several giants, Simon did not express his point of view, but nodded and said: "Of course, I will be on the 25th at the latest." Go back, maybe stay in New York for a while.”

Mike Medova smiled and said, "About the reality shows produced by your company?"

"Yes."

Simon nodded. Now that he has publicly promoted it to the TV network, it is impossible to hide this kind of thing.

Mike Meadowwa paused, and then said: "Simon, I've heard a little bit about it. You don't seem to need a screenwriter for these reality shows. This may have been nothing in the past, but in the current situation, it is very difficult for you to do so. It could lead to hostility from the writers union."

Simon shrugged helplessly, and said, "Mike, if it were any other time, do you think the major TV networks would be able to watch the TV shows of Daenerys Films?"

Upon hearing this, Mike Medova shook his head and smiled wryly, "No."

Even Orion Films only started to set up a TV department to get involved in the TV program production business in the past two years, which is enough to show that the threshold for TV program producers is not so easy to cross.

Daenerys Pictures has yet to prove itself in TV, despite producing several blockbuster films.Even if several major TV networks are interested in the TV programs of Daenerys Films, it is impossible to give too good cooperation conditions.

Therefore, the current Hollywood screenwriter strike and the general lack of TV programs on several major TV networks can be said to be the best time for Daenerys Films to get involved in the field of TV production. If you miss it, you can only accumulate a little bit of qualifications. Or pay big bucks to buy outright a TV production company to get your ticket into the space.

"So, if you offend the screenwriters' union, you'll be offended. I can't miss this opportunity for nothing." Simon spread his hands, thought for a while and asked, "Mike, you don't plan to sign an agreement with the screenwriters' union in advance, do you?"

Mike Medova shook his head shrewdly, and said: "Our main business is still movies, so there is no need to do this."

The root cause is well known to everyone, and Simon has not revealed it.

Those second- and third-tier film companies compromised with the screenwriters union in advance, in fact, in order to survive. After all, there was no business for half a year, and the current economic environment basically meant that they were going to close their doors.

Orion Pictures may not fare as well, but the company isn't too reliant on TV revenue just yet.Moreover, the founders are old fritters who have been in Hollywood for many years, and they also know that if they compromise with the screenwriters union in advance, there is a very high possibility of being settled after the fall.

The two were chatting, and Madonna, who was wearing a black low-cut evening dress, came over with a glass of red wine, raised her hand to Mike Medova, and said, "What are you two talking about?"

"Good evening, Ms. Ciccone," Mike Medova greeted Madonna with a smile, and then said very wittily: "It's just some trivial matters. It just so happens that I have to talk to Travolta. Let's talk about participating in movie promotion."

After Mike Medova left, Simon looked around and asked Madonna, "Where's Sean?"

Madonna glanced at Simon and said, "Is Sean more attractive than me?"

Simon said helplessly, "I'm just wondering why he didn't come over tonight?"

"Sean is going to attend an audition, and he flew back to Los Angeles last night." Madonna continued to stare at Simon unabashedly, and said, "So, I'm the only one left now."

Chapter 168 Forced by Life (Revised)

Feeling Madonna's hot gaze, Simon leaned closer to the woman and whispered in her ear, "Turn left on the second floor to the fifth room, sneak there later, remember to take off your clothes and wait for me."

Madonna didn't expect Simon to be so straightforward, and she was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

It wasn't until Simon walked away from her as if nothing had happened, that Madonna quickly chased after her, and then slowed down beside Simon, "Simon, you were just kidding me, weren't you?"

Simon came to the buffet table, took a plate and picked food, and said, "Why should I play tricks on you?"

Madonna froze for a moment, and immediately looked at him with contempt: "Then you are such a bastard, I thought you regarded Sean as a friend."

"Sean is a great actor and a guy worth making friends with," Simon commented lightly, "But what does this have to do with you?"

Madonna said dissatisfied: "I am his wife."

Simon glanced at the woman: "If you don't care yourself, why should I care?"

Madonna was at a loss for words, and after a moment of hesitation, she said: "Sean and I don't feel it anymore, he, he sometimes beats me."

"I'm sorry," Simon shrugged and said, "However, this is your private matter."

Madonna stood by and looked at Simon for a moment, and said, "I suddenly realized, Westeros, you are really a cold guy to the bone."

Simon responded indifferently: "Yes."

Madonna was inexplicably angry, and was about to say something more, when Robert Redford walked over with a fair-skinned oval-faced woman: "Simon, oh, and Maggie, did I bother you?"

"Of course not, Bob," Simon shook his head with a smile, and looked at the woman next to Redford.

Robert Redford gestured to his side, and said, "Just to introduce you, Simon, this is Melanie Griffith, she is the second female lead in my movie."

Simon actually recognized the identity of the other party just now. Melanie Griffith, one of the well-known Hollywood actresses in the 80s, came from the same family of Hollywood actors. Her mother became famous in one fell swoop with Hitchcock's "The Birds" The veteran Hollywood actress Tippi Hedren, if history does not change, she will have a daughter later, Dakota Johnson, the heroine of the "Fifty Shades of Grey" series.

Hearing Radford's introduction, Simon politely reached out and said, "Hello, Ms. Griffith."

Melanie Griffith shook hands with Simon and said in a natural baby voice: "Hi Simon, call me Melanie. I read your Pulp Fiction yesterday and it was great It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to play a role in it."

Simon said politely: "Your performance in Bryan's "Pink Killing Night" is also very good, we may have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

When Melanie Griffith heard Simon say this, her tone was a little excited, and she said, "Really? Simon, I will take it seriously."

Simon nodded, "Of course."

Watching the two chatting, Robert Redford raised his glass and said, "Well, let's talk, and I'll go say hello to Miller."

Watching Robert Redford leave, Melanie Griffith unknowingly moved closer to Simon, rubbed the wine glass in her hand and stared at him intently, and said, "Simon, how are the preparations for "Batman" going?" Do you think there is a role for me in it?"

Simon picked up the dinner plate again, shook his head and said, "The script is still being written, if there is one, I will get someone to contact you."

Melanie Griffith noticed Simon's movement of picking food, reached out and snatched his plate, and said, "Simon, why don't you take me around, you're really nice here. Well, I Help you bring food," said Melanie Griffith and looked at Madonna who was obviously displeased by being left aside: "Maggie, do you want to come together?"

Madonna glanced at a guy who was suddenly indifferent and distant, and suddenly talked and laughed, and said not to be outdone: "Of course."

Before Simon had time to express his opinion, he was pulled across the living room and walked towards the backyard.

For a mansion of more than 1.5 hectares, the area of ​​the main and attached villas is actually only 2000 square meters, which is less than one-seventh of the total area.

Because there are guests, the lights in the mansion are fully turned on.

The three of them walked down the steps of the villa. Against the background of the lights, a white marble corridor about 20 meters appeared in front of them. The arc-shaped steps extending on both sides, walking down the steps shaded by bushes, the vision suddenly becomes clear again.

Madonna looked at the huge swimming pool built on the edge of the mansion overlooking the entire city of Cannes. Even though she has seen a lot of worlds after becoming famous, she couldn't help but blurted out: "It's really great here."

Saying this, I remembered that the man next to me bought such a mansion just because he came to Cannes to participate in the film festival. I just felt a little unhappy because of Simon's indifference and became eager unknowingly. If I can seize such a mansion What a man.

Simon accompanied the two women to the swimming pool and stopped, eating the food on the plate slowly. After they walked around the swimming pool to the other side and looked at the night view of the city for a while, he said, "You two, what should we do?" Have you gone back?"

Melanie Griffith came to Simon, saw that he was still eating, snatched the plate again with some dissatisfaction, and said, "Simon, aren't we as attractive as these foods?"

Following Melanie Griffith's words, Madonna also came over.

Simon felt the two bodies gently rubbing against him, and inexplicably felt a sense of being hunted down.You know, the two around you are definitely the type of Princess Huahua.

Taking a step back, Simon stretched out his arms and hugged the two women with a little force. Seeing them stuck together, Melanie Griffith, who was slightly taller, thought that Simon wanted to play something different, so he smiled and kissed Madonna past.

Simon took back his dinner plate from Melanie Griffith, looked at the two women huddled together and said, "I think you two can comfort each other, I'll go over there to help you watch the wind and play slowly .”

Madonna looked at the figure of Simon walking straight towards the villa, and didn't believe his bullshit at all, and cursed in a low voice with some reluctance: "What a bastard."

Melanie Griffith also had disappointment on her expression.

The man who just left, last year's "Run Lola Run" featured Sandra Bullock, and Easter's "When Harry Met Sally" featured Meg Ryan, just premiered in Cannes "Pulp Fiction" also brought little-known Australian actress Nicole Kidman into the public eye, and if you count the teen stars who rose to fame through "The Butterfly Effect" and "Death Comes," Simon Westeros is nothing short of a star-making machine.

Born into a film family, Melanie Griffith does not lack opportunities to develop in Hollywood. From her first electric shock at the age of 12 to now, she has appeared in more than 20 film and television dramas, including Brian DePare Ma, Jonathan Demme, Robert Redford and other famous director masterpieces.

However, because of this, Melanie Griffith also understands how rare the strength of a popular star like Simon Westeros is.Even Woody Allen's kind of director who makes actresses flock to them can only bring style and nominations to actresses, but Simon Westeros can really greatly improve the net worth of actresses.

Actresses such as Sandra Bullock and Meg Ryan, who have only debuted for a few years, jumped directly to the top ranks because they were lucky enough to participate in "Run Lola Run" and "When Harry Met Sally". The remuneration can easily reach the level of two to three million.Although Melanie Griffith has appeared in a large number of film and television dramas since her debut more than ten years ago, because she has never met a blockbuster commercial film, her current net worth is only one tenth of that of Sandra Bullock. The second female lead in Telford's "Battle of Bean Fields" even only took $300.

It's a pity that this man doesn't seem to be so easy to handle.

Well, maybe, the timing wasn't quite right either.

I am too impatient.

Thinking of this, Melanie Griffith casually nodded to Madonna, and chased after her with her skirt.After finally taking the opportunity of Robert Redford to meet Simon Westeros, at least get the other party's private contact information.

Inside the villa.

Janet, who was leaning on the sofa and chatting with Natasha Kinski, saw Simon returning to the living room with the dinner plate, and immediately reached out and tapped Natasha Kinski's waist, proudly saying: "Look , you lost, [-] dollars, here."

Natasha Kinski raised her wrist and looked at her watch, and said, "He and those two women left for 5 minutes, how can you be sure they didn't do anything?"

Janet curled her lips and said, "If you want to deny it, tell me, how can my man only have 5 minutes."

"Who wants to deny it?" Natasha Kinski squeezed her handbag, hesitated for a while, and confessed frankly: "I don't have any money now, and I will give it to you someday."

Janet said dissatisfied: "Then you still bet with me."

"Me, I just want to make some money. My husband even stopped my credit card."

Janet was even more dissatisfied, she widened her eyes and said, "I treat you as a friend, but you actually want to make money from me."

"It's forced by life," Natasha Kinski said casually, leaning on the sofa indifferently, "Also, I can only stay here with you tonight."

"You and that, um, that Egyptian businessman, since you are so unhappy, you should just divorce. Then you can take some movies at will, support yourself, be free, how nice it is."

Natasha Kinski raised her chin towards Simon and said, "Will you and that guy break up if you feel unhappy?"

Janet immediately said: "I am different from Simon."

Natasha Kinski didn't argue. She glanced around and said, "Hey, you will leave after the film festival, right?"

"Huh?"

"Lend me here, I want to live apart from him for a while."

"No loan."

"It's stingy."

"Taking you in for one or two nights is enough for friends, I don't want to get involved in the cold war between you and your husband."

Natasha Kinski glanced at a figure who was entangled by a woman again not far away, and said, "If that guy agrees, can I live here?"

Janet followed Natasha Kinski's eyes, nodded and said, "Yes, you should try to convince him."

After ten o'clock, the guests left one after another.

Because of the sudden interest in chatting on the sequel of the "Mad Max" series, George Miller got up to leave near eleven o'clock, and Simon sent the other party away in person.Back at the villa, the chefs and waiters invited from nearby restaurants have also been evacuated, and the living room has been restored as before.

Then, Simon saw Natasha Kinski, who was curled up on a sofa in the corner of the living room like a lazy Persian cat. The woman was flipping through a magazine boredly, with an obvious tired face Concerned, her beautiful eyes narrowed, as if she didn't feel Simon's gaze at all.

After looking at it for a while, Simon was about to walk away when a voice sounded: "Can I live here?"

Simon stopped in his tracks, confirmed that the voice was from Natasha Kinski, and said with a smile, "You finally realize that you should ask the master for his opinion on this kind of thing?"

Natasha Kinski did not answer, but repeated: "Can you?"

Simon shrugged: "You have to sleep in the guest room."

Janet and Jennifer happened to come out of the kitchen. Natasha Kinski immediately looked at Janet after receiving Simon's reply, and said, "He agreed."

Janet also heard the conversation between the two just now, and said to Simon with a smile: "Natasha wants to continue living here after we leave Cannes."

Simon was stunned, then shook his head and said, "Sorry, this can't be done."

Natasha Kinski sat up from the sofa, stared at Simon and said, "You just agreed."

Simon didn't argue, and shook his head again: "Unfortunately, I regret it."

Natasha Kingskeep paused, and said, "Westero, don't forget, I am the judge of this year's main competition."

Simon changed his words very unscrupulously: "Oh, I will think about it for a few days, and I will reply you after the film festival is over."

Not to be outdone, Natasha Kinski said, "Then should I consider voting for you next time I serve as a judge?"

"This is your freedom," Simon nodded indifferently, walked to Janet, reached out to hug the woman and kissed her on the cheek, and then walked towards the stairs: "Baby, I thought of a very interesting bedtime The story, I will tell you later."

"Hehe, you can't stand being teased by those women, right? You know how to bully me."

"A bedtime story, really."

"Nonsence."

Listening to the shameless conversation between the two, Jennifer blushed a little. After they went upstairs, she looked at Natasha Kinski and said, "Ms. Kinski, can I help you prepare the guest room?"

Natasha Kinski nodded, got up and walked upstairs with Jennifer, but there was still a bit of distress in her expression.

Chapter 169 Can't afford to provoke (repair)

In the morning, he was awakened by a faint knock on the door, and after a few words of rejection in a daze, he fell asleep again.

After an unknown amount of time, a ray of sunlight came in through the gap in the curtains and fell on the head of the bed.Waving away the annoying light, I suddenly remembered that there was still something to do this morning, and immediately lost my sleepiness.
