Linda Fiorentino denied: "I'm not looking for trouble, Mr. Westeros, I'm just fighting for what I deserve."

Simon said teasingly: "Then have you ever thought that you overestimate your own strength?"

Linda Fiorentino didn't show any signs of timidity under Simon's gaze, raised her chin slightly, and said, "You have to try it."

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly quieted down, Brian De Palma looked very interested, Jonathan Friedman and others also kept onlookers, only Linda Fiorentino, the agent With a depressed look on his face, he was worried that Simon Westeros would suddenly let himself get out with this stupid woman.

After looking at Linda Fiorentino across the conference table for a moment, Simon simply put down the pencil in his hand, leaned back on the office chair, and said, "Tell me, what do you want?"

"Cut your share of nude scenes," Linda Fiorentino said. "I just said it."

Simon said: "I said it just now, if you insist on this request, you can leave now."

Linda Fiorentino paused before saying, "At least, that bottomless scene must be deleted."

Simon refused: "It's an important plot point that can't be deleted, but I can guarantee that in the future, even if someone plays frame by frame, they won't see anything."

Linda Fiorentino put the cigarette to her mouth again, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I don't want to be labeled as a pornographic actress, after this film, Daenerys Pictures must allow me to continue Pick a character from your production credits."

Simon said: "I've seen your performance in Martin Scorsese's "After Hours", it's not bad. You can choose the impossible, but I can help you arrange it."

Linda Fiorentino heard Simon agree so readily, a look of surprise flashed on her face, but she quickly added: "It must be the heroine, and no dew point is required."

Simon nodded: "No problem."

Although it seemed that Simon Westeros seemed to be too talkative, Linda Fiorentino quickly continued: "Also, the salary of $100,000 is too low, I want $300,000."

Simon nodded again: "Yes."

Linda Fiorentino looked at Simon, and even wondered if the young man was kidding himself: "These must be written in the contract."

Simon agreed: "Of course, are there any other requests?"

Linda Fiorentino thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "No more."

"Then, let me tell you my request," Simon sat up straight, stared sharply at the woman, and said in a serious tone: "Pinch off the cigarette!"

Linda Fiorentino's right hand holding the cigarette swayed slightly, and after a stalemate for a moment, she still put the cigarette out in an ashtray handed over by Jennifer.

Simon and other women snuffed out the cigarettes and said, "Your performance just now fits the heroine Catherine Trammell's personality very well, being flamboyant, acerbic, and strong, so I forgive you for this faux pas, but only once. If Next time I see you smoking a cigarette at a work meeting, I'll just have someone kick you out."

Linda Fiorentino listened to Simon's merciless reprimand, and subconsciously straightened up.

However, thinking of the conditions she just negotiated, Linda Fiorentino couldn't help but suppress the idea of ​​a seizure. $300,000, which is 100 times what she was paid for her first role three years ago. When she offered this price, she actually felt that it was very rare to be able to increase it to 150,000 US dollars.

With these thoughts flashing in his mind, Linda Fiorentino suddenly realized something and looked at Simon again.

This man is a manipulative devil.

If it's only $100,000, she wouldn't feel too bad even if the deal fell apart, she wasn't interested in a character with a lot of nudity. However, at $300,000, it would be difficult for her to easily refuse.

While she'd always considered herself a money-lover, growing up in an Italian immigrant family of eight children, she'd never seen $300,000 in her life.

Such a sum of money is enough to guarantee her a worry-free livelihood for the next few years.

not to mention.

There are also two heroines, many actresses may not be able to get such an opportunity in their lifetime.

Simon didn't care whether Linda Fiorentino guessed his intentions, and continued: "Since you have what you want, you must devote yourself to this movie, and I don't want to listen to it anymore. until you have any opinion on the role you need to play. I can tell you very clearly that if this movie is successful, you will definitely become one of the most recognizable actresses in Hollywood and I promise your next role will make you too But if you screw it up, and you screw it up because of you, I can guarantee you won't have any place in Hollywood anymore."

Linda Fiorentino was provoked again and asked, "Mr. Westeros, are you threatening me?"

"That's right," Simon nodded and said, "but you can still quit now, the door is there. And, never say in the future that others have no other choice. The most important thing in Hollywood is actors."

Linda Fiorentino felt the gaze of the man on the other side, grabbed the handbag she put beside her, didn't get up after all, just turned her face away.

Simon saw that the woman was completely subdued, so he turned to the others and said: "

We continue. "

After discussing for more than half an hour, the matter was finalized. Simon and Jonathan discussed some things about Robert De Niro and the two scripts before leaving the WMA headquarters.

inside the car.

Simon reopened the plane document and asked the female assistant beside him, "What's the next plan?"

Jennifer looked at her memo and said, "Dave Stevens, the author of "Rocketman," will be here at four o'clock."

Simon remembered this sci-fi comic set in the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. A lot of things have happened recently, and he really doesn't want to spend too much time on this 'sand' that he casually mixed in. Make up your mind to perfunctory after the next meeting, and it’s better to drag the project down naturally.

After making a decision in his heart, Simon asked again, "Have you made your schedule for next week?"

Jennifer turned the memo and said: "Monday is the audition for the supporting role of 'Instinct', and I have a trip to San Francisco on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday to check the location of 'Instinct', and I have arranged the tour for you. A trip to Silicon Graphics and Pixar Studios. Headed to Park City on Friday for this year's Sundance Film Festival opening."

In the 1990s, including "Jurassic Park", "Solitary Day" and many other blockbuster CG special effects were designed using the professional graphics workstation of Silicon-graphics company. One of the holdings of the Westeros Corporation.

Simon has been in contact with the other party before, hoping to promote the development of cg special effects in advance, and the Silicon Graphics side is also very keen on this matter.

As for Pixar, it's for 3D animation, of course.

"Also, um," Simon remembered another thing, was about to speak, and then said: "I'll do this myself."

Since I went to San Francisco, I would definitely have to go to visit Dr. Henry Chapman smoothly. There is no need for Jennifer to arrange this kind of thing, just make a phone call in advance.

However, after sorting out the schedule for the next week, Simon found that he would not be able to focus on the later stage of "Pulp Fiction" for another week. Fortunately, the production of the film is coming to an end, and the schedule is fixed on June 3, even if he plans to participate in Cannes The film festival, which is only in January, must not be delayed.

Overtime on weekends is unavoidable.

The SUV entered downtown Santa Monica, near the headquarters of Daenerys Pictures. Jennifer looked at Simon next to her, and suddenly said, "I didn't expect you to be so strict with a beautiful lady."

Simon glanced at the female assistant and said, "If you are not obedient, I will be very strict."

Jennifer avoided the man's eyes and said, "If you make any excessive demands, I will definitely not listen. Also, I won't give in because of $300,000."

"I never feel that money can make a person submit, unless it is a lot of money. It's just that everyone has their own weaknesses, you can find them. A third-tier actress, whose economic conditions are not very good, and who is eager to become famous, Her weaknesses are money and opportunities. I can give her these and I can take them easily. So, she has to give in to me."

Jennifer hesitated and said tentatively, "Then, what about me?"

Simon shook his head: "I don't know."

Jennifer suddenly said firmly: "You must know."

Simon smiled and said, "Maybe, but you have to try it."

Jennifer hesitated for a moment, looked at Simon boldly, and said, "Then, try it."

"Really?"

"real."

Simon put the folder on his knees aside, reached over, and gently brushed away Jennifer's pretty blonde hair.

The moment the man's finger touched his hair, Jennifer felt like a little squirrel that had encountered a natural enemy, and was completely frozen.

Omg.

he.

Really scratching my hair.

But, this, this is in the car.

How does this work.

Feeling the man's breath getting closer, she wanted to escape, but found that she couldn't even move her fingertips.

Magic?

Um.

He is a wizard.

It wasn't until the man pushed her blond hair away, gently kissed her neck that she was white as jade, and sat back down that Jennifer felt her body soften again.

Then, his seemingly proud voice sounded in his ear again: "Look, I found it, and then I will tie up my hair obediently, I like to watch it."

She lowered her head and fiddled with her satchel.

Would love to accuse him of cheating or something.

but.

I don't know how long it took, the car should have stopped in the parking lot, and she seemed, seemed, probably remembered that she made a light "um".

after the weekend.

The time comes to Monday, January 11th.

Many people thought it would be another very ordinary week. With a news from New York, Hollywood once again turned its attention to a young man who will turn 20 next month.

Westeros filed a filing with SEC on the first trading day of the week, claiming it already owns a 5% stake in New World Entertainment. After the filing documents were submitted, Westeros did not stop and continued to absorb New World Entertainment stocks.

After the close of the day, the stock price of New World Entertainment, which was originally hovering at a low of $7.5, has easily exceeded $8.

But this is just the beginning.

Early the next morning, the New York Stock Exchange had just opened, and New World Entertainment’s share price broke through $9, and the stock price was close to $10 during the volatility of the entire trading day.

Having just raised a ton of money by cutting Motorola shares, if Westeros continues to increase its holdings of tech stocks, it may not cause much market reaction.

However, when Simon Westeros turned his attention to a comprehensive media company that operates films, television, comics and other businesses, the intention of this operation was all too obvious.

During this period of time, Daenerys Pictures not only invested a lot of money to purchase copyrights, but also successively invested in several film projects such as "Instinct", "Rain Man", "Dead Poets Society" and "Scream". To ensure the production and distribution of these films, Simon Westeros is sure to further expand his company.

With sufficient funds, expansion through acquisitions is undoubtedly the fastest shortcut.

Simon Westeros isn't wealthy enough to buy any of the seven major movie companies, so a second-tier media company like New World Entertainment is a good fit.

only.

The subsequent development of things was somewhat unexpected.

At the end of last year, Simon has been the focus of Wall Street's attention after his exposure to the operation of the stock index futures market. Over the past few months, many investment institutions are still following the operation of Westeros and firmly support the technology stock market.

Now that Westeros is suddenly showing interest in a brand new company, many investors are following suit almost subconsciously.

After all, New World Entertainment is just a small company with a total share capital of only 25 million and a market value of less than $200 million before the Westeros Company filing. Many investors poured in, and New World Entertainment's stock price had reached $15 at the close on Wednesday. Compared to last week, the share price has completely doubled, and the market value has soared to $3.75.

Simon and James previously agreed that the upper limit of the premium for the acquisition of New World Entertainment is 50%. Although it was expected that after the announcement of the news, the share price of New World Entertainment would soar, but neither of them expected that there would be so many people 'joining in the fun', It doubled the company's share price in just three days.

Now.

Due to the public announcement of a non-reduction of Motorola shares for the shortest period of one year, when New World Entertainment's share price doubled, even if Simon wanted to acquire it, he couldn't get that much money at all. What's more, he couldn't possibly be the fool.

James's advice to Simon is to immediately dump all the stocks in his hands.

Westeros bought 1.75 million shares, or 7%, before New World Entertainment's share price rose to $10. Since the acquisition is hopeless and sells now, Westeros can still make a little bit of money.
