As the summer season of 1987, which was markedly weak at the box office, came to a close, so did two Simon-related films.

On August 6, after a 17-week screening, "Butterfly Effect" was officially released across North America, and the box office figures were finally fixed at $116.95 million.

Immediately afterwards, in order to free up more screen resources for the new film "Spirits of the Navy", Orion Pictures, "Lola Run" was also offline on August 13. From February 13th to August 13th, "Lola Run" happened to be released in North American theaters for half a year, and the final cumulative box office reached 223.77 million US dollars.

As of August, there are only three films in North America that have achieved a domestic box office of over 100 million this year, and two of them are from a young man who has only debuted for a year. This has to be said to be a miracle. Just as the two films broke the 100 million yuan mark one after another in June, when the two films went down one by one, the news about Simon in the media ushered in a small peak again.

However, Simon could not take into account these discussions about himself.

While filming Pulp Fiction, Simon had to take care of the later stages of "Death Comes" and the preparations for "When Harry Met Sally". At the same time, the operation of the stock index futures market also affected his mind too much.

Most of the tense August has passed without knowing it in this busyness.

The scenes of Robert De Niro were completed in early August, and the scenes of Robert Redford and Nicole Kidman, who were guest stars, also ended one after another. I thought everything would go so smoothly. In the last week of August, Simon finally Still encountered the most difficult piece of bone after filming, Madonna.

On August 7 at the beginning of the month, Madonna's second movie "Who Is That Girl" was just released in North America.

If Madonna was still trying to perform seriously in last year's "Magic City Surprise", Queen Mai in "Who Is That Girl" has completely given up treatment, and all kinds of exaggerated performances are almost 100% locked in her next year's Golden Raspberry Girl Protagonist Award.

When it came to "Pulp Fiction", Her Lady Queen's pompousness had obviously not completely subsided, so the filming was originally scheduled for only three days, but it took five days.

Simon was very satisfied with the performances of Janet, Nicole and several other female characters before, and he didn't want to lower his requirements on the role of "Little Rabbit" that will appear at the beginning of the film. Therefore, Simon has also been completely at odds with Her Lady Queen in recent days.

If you are not good at training, Simon Westeros will not be mixed up.

Today is Friday, August 28th.

In a fast food restaurant south of Santa Monica.

In the past five days, some crew members who have participated in the production of Simon's films since "Lola Run" finally saw the "manic" side of the director. However, this kind of mania has nothing to do with the filming of the film, but the director is personally on the scene to help Madonna demonstrate how to play 'Little Rabbit'.

Tall and handsome, the director, who can be called the dream lover of all the female staff in the crew, personally plays the female role, and is also a manic female robber. You can imagine how unbearable the picture will be.

Next to the counter in a fast food restaurant.

At this time, everyone in the crew was surrounded, patiently waiting for Simon to speak to Madonna in person, and even Sean Penn stood by with great interest, noticing that Simon graciously handed a bottle of pure water to his wife's Small details, not jealous. After reading the script carefully, he was very clear about Simon's intentions, but he felt that a certain guy really did anything to make the final scene well.

After a while.

The scene that everyone has been talking about in recent days has happened again.

Simon finished talking to Madonna in a row, took the prop revolver in her hand, jumped on the counter in three or two, and screamed into the air where there were no actors buried in the air without any hesitation: "You Let him go, you let him go, let him go, or I will kill you, let him go..."

After the performance, Simon still maintained his posture and stood on the counter, and said to Madonna under the stage: "Maggie, do you see it? That's it, you have to squat down a bit, and you miss a robbery. You are very scared, and even a little broken. So, it's better to shake your legs a little bit more, like this."

After a serious demonstration, Simon jumped off the counter.

Madonna was still a little dissatisfied with this crazy woman-like character at the beginning, but Simon demonstrated for her in person, regardless of her image. She couldn't help but secretly gave birth to this young director who had already created a box-office miracle before she was 20 years old. I admire it, and I have completely let go in recent days.

It's just a character after all.

What's more, it's not that no one calls him a crazy woman, so go crazy.

When Simon came down from the counter, Madonna took the prop revolver that he handed over, brewed her emotions a little, and jumped on the counter as well: "You let him go, let him go, or I will kill you. Yes, let him go!"

"Legs, trembling... it's too obvious again, take some... well, come down first," Simon said, waiting for Madonna to come down from the counter and take the revolver from the woman's hand again, demonstrating it again.

After so many tossing, Simon saw that the effect was similar, and handed a bottle of pure water to Madonna again without a trace: "Come, Maggie, drink some more water, and then we will start shooting."

Madonna took the water bottle and glanced at Simon sideways, with a mocking look in her eyes: "Little guy, is this how you court women, I have to say, it's really stupid."

Although

Having said that, Madonna raised her head happily and drank half a bottle of pure water in one breath.

Simon then pulled out a bottle of water again like a trick, but instead of rushing to give it to Madonna, he told Sean Penn, Samuel Jackson and the crowd to start burying their seats.

As long as the scene can be successfully completed today, the scene about Her Lady Queen will also end smoothly.

With this expectation, everyone in the crew cheered up.

After several consecutive attempts, they still failed to meet Simon's requirements. During this period, Madonna was once again filled with a bottle of water by Simon.

After more than half an hour, she jumped off the counter again, Madonna was about to walk towards the toilet, but was stopped by Simon.

"Hey, little guy, I'm going to the toilet, are you planning to go with me?" After making a joke like that, Madonna suddenly understood, glared at Simon, and said, "You did it on purpose?"

Simon neither admitted nor denied, and said, "Maggie, insist on finishing this scene and invite you to drink Xien for dinner at night, how about it?"

Madonna covered her lower abdomen, and her eyes began to roll: "I'm in a hurry, little guy, do you want to see me make a fool of yourself?"

"Okay," Simon surrendered directly: "You open the conditions."

Madonna raised two fingers directly: "Add two more songs."

"I'm just a movie director, Maggie," Simon said with a bitter look, "Besides, songs also need inspiration, how can you just say a few songs."

"Being able to play "Flight of the Bumblebee" so well, and the excellent soundtrack in "Lola Run," I have great confidence in you," Madonna said. Seeing that Simon didn't agree, she rushed forward. : "Then I'm going to the toilet."

Simon quickly stopped: "There are two songs in total, and there will be no more."

"Deal," Madonna nodded cheerfully, and added: "But you have to hurry up, I only last for half an hour at most."

Simon shook the pure water in his hand and said, "If you can't stand it, you can go. However, I need you to maintain this state all afternoon. Maybe, you have to work overtime."

Madonna immediately reluctant: "Three songs."

Simon insisted: "There are only two, but I promise you are satisfied."

Madonna rolled her eyes and said, "Next time at my concert, you will be my guitarist."

"how can that be?"

"It only needs to be one game, it's also a cameo, and you can rehearse a little at that time. And, little guy, I'll pay your salary," Madonna said more and more excitedly, and finally saw that Simon didn't let go, she squeezed forward again: "Then I'm going to the toilet."

Simon had to nod: "Okay, only one game."

Madonna rolled her eyes again and continued, "That, it's hard to hold it all the time..."

Simon stepped aside directly: "You better go to the toilet."

Madonna didn't go, but reluctantly said: "Forget it, he is really a stingy man."

People are often very vulnerable in the state of forcing themselves not to go to the toilet. Therefore, in the following performance, although only a few people noticed that Madonna was drinking water all the time, most people felt that in the last few sets of shots, Madonna completely expressed the emotions of a female robber who was stunned after she missed a robbery. .

Although it was inevitable to add another hour of shifts, the restaurant scene with Madonna and Sean Penn was finally completed in a week.

After finishing work, he once again told Simon to help him complete the agreed song as soon as possible, and Madonna and Sean Penn left together.

Tomorrow is the weekend.

Simon returned to the Palisades mansion, and it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

Janet prepared dinner very thoughtfully, and during the meal the woman told him that Noah Scott had called him three times in a row, starting at five o'clock in the afternoon.

Simon only remembers that the S\u0026P 500 peaked above 330 before the crash, but is not too impressed by how much.

So, last week, on Aug. 19, when the S\u0026P 500 hit 325, Simon again started liquidating 10,000 long contracts in his Westeros account. On August 25, that is, this Tuesday, the S\u0026P 500 exceeded 330 points, and Simon also asked Noah Scott to speed up the clearance.

According to the agreed sales schedule, the 10,000 long contracts in the Westeros corporate account should be cleared today.

but.

Simon did not rush Noah Scott to take a short position this time.

After dinner, Simon came to the study, and Janet followed. After more than three months of operation, although they basically know what they know, women are still very curious about how much money their men make.

Taking the initiative to call over, Simon felt that Noah Scott seemed to be extraordinarily enthusiastic today.

The two chatted a few times on the phone, and they faxed over a series of transaction reports and accounting data after the liquidation of 10,000 long contracts was completed.

At the close today, the S\u0026P 500 has reached 337 points.

Due to the accelerated rally of the S\u0026P 500 in July and August, it was difficult for Simon to establish a position in the lower index range. The average opening points of the 10,000 contracts this time were 316 points, and the average selling points were about 332 points.

On a comprehensive basis, the average increase per contract was only 16 points, which did not reach the average profit level of the previous two contracts. But even so, the total profit after the liquidation of 10,000 contracts reached $80 million.

In the end, after deducting various fees, Westeros

The company had $278.56 million in its accounts at this point.

Although it failed to reach the $300 million figure that Simon had expected. However, in three and a half months, from US$75 million to US$278.56 million, a profit of nearly 300%, even the top elites on Wall Street cannot easily achieve such huge profits.

When Simon and Noah Scott were on the phone, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening in Chicago in the middle of the United States.

However, in a villa in the wealthy area of ​​Naperville on the outskirts of Chicago, Noah Scott deliberately sent his live-in girlfriend tonight. At this time, only Noah Scott himself and two other five were in the villa. A middle-aged man in his teens.

Two middle-aged people, one is Nelson Scott, Noah Scott's father as a vice president of American Express, and the other red-faced middle-aged man is James Robinson, the CEO of American Express at this time.

After listening quietly to Noah Scott's call with Los Angeles, when his son put down the phone, Nelson Scott asked, "How is it?"

Noah Scott shook his head and said, "Let me wait for the order."

"What a prudent little guy," James Robinson still held a thick document in his hand, which was Simon's detailed transaction records in recent months, and said while flipping through it: "However, since it can be Earning $200 million in just over three months, such caution is right. Noah, what do you think he will do next?"

Noah Scott thought for a while and said, "It's the delivery month again, and the next index fluctuations will definitely be very violent. Moreover, Westeros didn't let me sell and continue to open positions this time, so, The next step is to either stop directly. Or, he should choose to go short. After all, most people now feel that the market has reached the top."

James Robinson shook his head and said: "Starting in June, many people felt that the market had peaked, and everyone was building short positions, but the result was that a little guy who was less than 20 years old made money in an instant. $200 million. Tsk, $200 million. And his performance in Hollywood, those two movies, which I went to watch a few days ago, were really good, and the box office surprised everyone. I don’t know. Where did that little guy come from?"

"I heard that I lived in a mental hospital in San Francisco for half a year, and then it became like this," Noah Scott made a joke, seeing the two elders smiling, and then said: "Then, Mr. Robinson , what shall we do next?"
