Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

Last night, I was tossed by some small and shattered noises until very late. In the end, I even wondered if it was my hallucination. I looked in the mirror while brushing my teeth. Fortunately, there were no dark circles under my eyes, otherwise I would be embarrassed.

The time is seven in the morning.

Saturday.

The weather in Park City is still cold in January, but the house is warm like spring.

Leaving the bedroom, he guiltily slowed his pace and glanced at another door not far away. He must not have gotten up this time.

When I went downstairs to the living room, I was taken aback.

Simon was already sitting on the sofa by the fireplace, talking on the phone. Janet curled up in his arms like a kitten, squinting, wearing only a long pale pink woolen sweater, two dazzling white long legs sticking out of the hem of the clothes unscrupulously, showing a boundless spring.

She stood dumbfounded at the entrance of the stairs for a few seconds, until the man nodded at her, then he reacted, and walked over to sit on the sofa next to him as if nothing had happened.

Heart is sour.

After he kissed her on the neck in the car that day, although there was no other intimate contact after that, she naturally thought that the two had been involved in some way.

Now.

Janet could curl up in his arms without any hesitation.

Jennifer could only sit next to him, with a faint sense of guilt as if she had stolen something from someone else.

Simon chatted with the other side for a while, put down the microphone, and asked Jennifer, "How was your rest last night?"

Some blushing noises appeared in Jennifer's mind again, her eyes swayed to the side, and she nodded calmly: "Very good, you, um, who were you calling just now?"

"Ed McCracken, CEO of Silicon Graphics," Simon said, explaining, "Last night, I suddenly realized that I didn't need to rely on other companies to make 3D animation and cg special effects. In terms of company acquisitions. If I want to do this, I can recruit people to form my own team, which is cheaper and has more flexibility to control the development direction of the technology. Silicon Graphics provides professional graphics to many universities, enterprises and R\u0026D teams Workstation, I happen to have contacts in this area, and I just asked McCracken to help me introduce some people."

Jennifer listened to the man absentmindedly, but suddenly realized something, looked up at Simon, and said, "You, last night, thought of this?"

Simon nodded: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Before Jennifer could answer, Janet, who was shrinking in Simon's arms, couldn't help laughing.

Simon also wanted to understand in a blink of an eye. Looking at Jennifer, who was blushing, he had to add: "Actually, I had this idea when I left the Pixar headquarters the day before yesterday."

Jennifer felt even more embarrassed, stood up and said, "I'm going to prepare breakfast" and fled to the kitchen.

Simon watched the little panicked figure of the female assistant disappear, patted Janet who was still squinting in her arms, and said, "Baby, go to the bedroom to sleep, please, be careful of catching a cold."

Janet put her hands around Simon and said coquettishly, "You hold me over there."

Simon picked Janet up to the bedroom on the second floor, put her on the big bed, covered the quilt, and said, "Go to sleep, I'll call you when breakfast is ready."

Janet huddled under the covers, but she blinked at Simon when she heard the words: "You can call me after breakfast with her."

Simon smiled and pinched the woman's face, helped her close the quilt, and went downstairs again.

Still on the stairs, Simon heard the phone ringing and came to the living room, just in time to see Jennifer coming out of the kitchen, she should be answering the phone. Seeing Simon, the female assistant immediately shrank back, like a frightened deer.

Simon smiled helplessly, walked over and picked up the phone, the call came from New York, and it was already working time on the east coast.

After Westeros began to reduce its holdings of New World Entertainment yesterday, the company's stock price fell directly from Thursday's close of $16.75 to yesterday's close of $13.25.

The shareholders and executives of New World Entertainment, who were still waiting for Simon to contact him, couldn't sit still. Early this morning, Larry Kupin, the major shareholder of New World Entertainment, went to visit James Raybold in person. At this point he was talking to Simon in Raybould's office.

After buying New World Pictures from B-movie king Roger Corman in 1983, after several years of mergers, expansions, and reorganizations, Larry Cuppin and his other partner, Harry Sloan, still hold There are more than 40% shares of New World Entertainment.

On the phone, Larry Cuppin said that they were very clear about Simon's intentions, and expressed that they were happy with the deal and hoped that the two sides could officially start acquisition negotiations.

Even at the closing price of $13.25 yesterday, New World Entertainment's market value is still more than $330 million, which is still not something Westeros can afford.

What's more, once the two sides officially start negotiations, the stock price of New World Entertainment will definitely rebound again.

The main dilemma that New World Entertainment is currently facing is the lack of funds. If Simon agrees to start negotiating a takeover of New World Entertainment, the Wall Street capital that is trying to take a stab at Westeros will not allow the company to run into trouble.

At that time, it will definitely be too easy for New World Entertainment to get working capital to get out of the predicament.

Therefore, Larry Cuppin's mind is also very obvious.

As long as you can keep in touch with Simon, the big financier, no matter what

Whether the final deal is reached, New World Entertainment is very hopeful to overcome the current difficulties. Naturally, Simon couldn't marry someone, so he simply perfunctory on the phone and handed over the matter to James.

After breakfast, Simon took Janet and Jennifer to the city at nine o'clock for the premiere of a movie called "Dreamland," in which Robert Redford also studied at Sundance Served as executive producer on the sponsored films.

Simon also had a few chats with "Dreamland" director Michael Hoffman at a Redford house party last year. Because it is the first feature film directed by himself, Michael Hoffman's narrative technique is not yet skilled enough. However, Simon is very fond of the film's discussion of ideal disillusionment and confused reality under the cold lens.

After the premiere of "Dreamland", Simon, Robert Redford and others left the Egyptian Theater and were planning to eat at a nearby restaurant.

As soon as everyone went out, they were surrounded by a group of reporters.

Simon didn't care too much at first. After hearing the questions from the reporters, he realized that the goal of these people was himself.

It turns out that this morning, wga announced the new Writers Guild of America nominations. Simon's three films last year, "Lola Run," "The Butterfly Effect" and "Death Is Coming," were all ignored and none of them were nominated.

Among the three films, although the plot concept of "The Butterfly Effect" is very novel, the film received a very low reputation from critics last year, and it is natural to ignore the awards. As for "Death Comes", this plasma thriller is even more impossible. Get nominated.

Therefore, "Lola Run" can be said to be the main force of Simon's awards season this year.

Prior to this, due to age factors, the media generally predicted that Simon's most important award at the most important Oscars of the awards season was the best screenplay. Simon's three films last year all broke into the top ten of the annual box office, and he deserves this award.

The main voting members of the Oscar screenwriting awards are concentrated in the Screenwriters Guild of America.

Now, wga has completely ignored "Lola Run", and it is impossible for Simon to win the screenwriting award in the next Oscar, and it is difficult to even expect nominations.

Back at the resort apartment in the afternoon, Simon also got more detailed information from Los Angeles.

At the nomination press conference, in the face of the media's inquiries, George Kogo, chairman of the WGA Western Section, explained that "Lola Run" too focused on form and lacked connotation, so it failed to meet the award nomination criteria.

Simon just laughed it off, and he didn't expect that because he refused to join wga, the opponent's 'killing stick' would be so obvious.

However, after a brief discussion, Simon just asked Pat Kingsley to make a cliché that respects the wga's decision.

Simon doesn't care about awards himself, but it's also impossible for him not to consider Daenerys' films.

At the end of the day, awards season is a game, everyone is in the game, and you have to play by the rules if you want to be rewarded.

Therefore, although some keen-minded media noticed the fact that Simon was not a member of the WGA, and questioned the fairness of the WGA nomination, Simon did not respond to this.

The hustle and bustle of the day is over.

In the evening, by the fireplace in the resort apartment, Simon, Janet, and Jennifer sat together on the sofa, each holding a script in their hands.

Robert Redford sent two whole boxes of scripts today. Simon plans to return to Los Angeles tomorrow afternoon and attend the premiere of another movie tomorrow morning, so he can only read these scripts in the evening. .

After the premiere of "Dreamland", Simon has agreed to invest in another Michael Hoffman film, called "Sisters," about a college student who rushes to Canada to see his girlfriend in a bizarre family. kind of fun.

Janet was holding the script at this time, leaning on Simon and reading it with relish.

Jennifer was a little absent-minded. There was nothing last night, and everyone rested soon after the party came back. But tonight, in this unfamiliar town among the mountains, surrounded by ice, snow and cold, in a quiet resort cottage, a man and two women.

This atmosphere is so weird.

The weirdest thing is that the other two guys are completely clueless.

I don't know how long it took, the phone rang suddenly, finally breaking the atmosphere that made Jennifer feel a little uncomfortable. She raised her head, Simon had already picked up the microphone, simply said a few words to the other side, and hung up again. Telephone.

Janet was a little dissatisfied that the quiet atmosphere was broken, she squeezed on Simon, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Simon picked up the script just now and said with a smile, "The Lord of the Rings is ours."

Janet pouted: "$10 million, it would be abnormal if Zaenz refused."

Jennifer still didn't know about Simon's communication with Saul Zaenz last night. Hearing the words, she said in disbelief: "For $10 million, to buy the copyright of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy?"

"Yeah, it's okay if you know it, don't say it."

Jennifer's expression was still surprised, but she just nodded.

Janet smiled and stretched out her little hand to grab Simon's body and said, "This sheep is very fat, Janet, do you want to touch it too?"

Jennifer blushed slightly and pretended not to hear Janet's words.

Janet rolled her eyes, stood up and walked over, pulling Jennifer who hadn't reacted yet to get up and go back.

She pressed on the position she had just now, and the woman ran to the other side of the sofa, squeezed Simon towards the middle, and sat down again.

This is a long sofa facing the fireplace, it is not big, and it seems a little crowded when three people sit down.

I don't know if it was because of the fire in the fireplace, Jennifer felt the breath of the man next to her, and her face suddenly felt a little hot. She didn't know how she felt in her heart, and after hesitating for a while, she still didn't run away, she leaned next to the man carefully, and pretended to be calm and focused on the script again.

Simon was still thinking about winning the copyright of "The Silmarillion" in one go. He didn't expect Janet to do this suddenly, but he just smiled and said, "There are only two, which is a bit small."

"Little bastard, how many more do you want?"

"Of course the more the better... Ah, don't pinch."

"Jenny, you pinch him too."

Jennifer raised her arm eagerly, and when she saw Simon just looking over, she shyly shrank back, and after the two of them frolicked for a while, they randomly found a topic and asked Simon, "Did you pick any script? "

Simon shook the script in his hand and said, "This is not bad."

Jennifer looked sideways curiously, and found a series of numbers, 3000, written on the cover of the script.

"3000", what does this mean?

Simon sensed her curiosity and took the initiative to explain: "This is a dark drama, telling the story of a street girl in Los Angeles, Vivian, who promised to accompany a rich man for a week for $3,000. However, I plan to change her to a a romance."

Jennifer frowned slightly when she heard the term 'Street Girl', and quickly said, "A romance movie, like, um, "La Traviata"?"

Simon nodded and said, "That's right."

Janet also said at this time: "If this is the case, it must be a tragedy. If it is a work by Dumas, maybe some people will be interested. In modern times, who would be interested in a love tragedy of a street girl?"

"I didn't say it was going to be a tragedy. Of course, the ending is that the prince and the princess live happily together," Simon shook his head, glanced at the script in his hand, and said with a smile, "I also thought of another story for this story. The name, "Pretty Woman in the Wind and Moon"."

"Pretty Woman" in my memory happened to be adapted from a black drama called "3000".

Simon didn't expect that he would see this story in the script recommended by Redford. Whether it is the screenwriter's name j.f. Lawton or the content of the story, it is very suitable for "Pretty Woman". But think about it, the Sundance Institute happens to be a platform for training and development for new directors and screenwriters, and the "3000" script of the dark drama genre also echoes the style of the Sundance Film Festival. Straightening these out, it is not too coincidental to get this script at this time.

After "Lola Run", if "Pretty Woman" comes from Sundance again, Park City will definitely be more lively in the future.

On the sofa in front of the fireplace, Simon felt the two women beside him, thinking that tonight's success in winning "The Lord of the Rings" and "Pretty Woman" will be a pair of good things.

perhaps.

Park City is truly a land of its own.
