Simon brings Janet to George Miller, the Australian director who happens to be chatting with Nicole Kidman.

After greeting, Simon took the initiative to stir up the topic and asked, "What were you two talking about just now?"

Nicole Kidman, tall and tall in a moon-white evening gown, said: "George thinks I'm doing a great job in Pulp Fiction and wants me to be in a movie he's working on."

Having said that, Nicole Kidman also looked at Simon with a smile on his lips, as if to see how he would react.

In accordance with the common practice in Hollywood, production companies usually require newcomers who participate in their films to sign multiple film contracts, so that the actors can continue to enjoy the dividends after they become famous.

In the "When Harry Met Sally" project, Meg Ryan also signed another option contract with Daenerys Pictures based on the role of "Sally". Now that "When Harry Met Sally" is a big hit at the box office, Meg Ryan's next movie deal, unless Daenerys Pictures takes the initiative to let it go, will have the right of first choice.

"Pulp Fiction" is naturally the case. Although this project belongs to Orion, the two newcomers in the film, Samuel L. Jackson and Nicole Kidman, respectively signed three contracts with Daenerys Pictures.

The same is true for Daenerys Pictures' recent five-film contract selection for the "Batman" male lead, but this contract requires a larger number of film contracts and a longer duration. After the era of the big studio, Hollywood has rarely seen such contracts that are close to selling themselves, so they are ridiculed by the media as "slavery contracts".

Noticing the smile on Nicole Kidman's mouth, Simon just glanced at her and asked Miller, "George, can you talk about your next movie? I really like "The Witches of East Town" Yes, but I'm more looking forward to your fourth Mad Max film."

"Simon, you may be mistaken. I don't have any plans for my next film, I just want Nicole to be in a thriller that my production company is going to shoot, I'm just a producer." George Miller After explaining it, he continued: "This is a movie based on a novel, called "Sail Over the Horizon", which tells the story of a couple who accidentally rescued a stranger by drifting at sea to soothe their psychological trauma after the accidental loss of their child. story."

After George Miller finished speaking, Simon immediately thought of this movie. In the original time and space, "Across the Horizon" happened to be Nicole Kidman's famous work in Hollywood.

Simon just didn't expect that the film's producer would be George Miller. However, this did not surprise him at all. The two protagonists of Across the Horizon, Sam Neill and Nicole Kidman, are both Australians.

After all, it's Australia.

Although Simon did not feel that Nicole Kidman, who was only twenty years old and too strong, could play the role of a traumatized young mother, he did not point this out to George Miller. Friendship has not reached this level.

And, if George Miller really decides to do it, Simon will do a favor too.

Nicole Kidman has never been a box-office star. The three contracts are there anyway, and it won't hurt Daenerys to let her hone her in some more films.

Everyone chatted for a while, Simon was about to leave, and George Miller, who had never mentioned the Cannes Film Festival in his words, suddenly said: "Simon, I have to say, your Pulp Fiction is really excellent this time. , I discovered for the first time that movies can be made so unrestrained."

Simon listened to George Miller's candid statement, and was a little stunned, noticing the shrewdness flashing in the eyes of this simple and honest middle-aged man, and quickly nodded with a smile as if nothing had happened: "George, I am very Glad you enjoyed the movie."

Although Simon is only interested in the Palme d'Or, having secured the two judges, he is no longer worried that Pulp Fiction will return empty-handed.

After all, Orion will certainly not be indifferent, and the contacts of Mike Medova and others in the circle are definitely not comparable to Simon. And the Cannes Awards are a lot easier to run than the Oscars, where there are many judges.

Simon is not at all guilty of his own public relations behavior. If there is an opportunity, if you don't fight for it, the award can only be attributed to others.

Just like "Pulp Fiction" in the original time and space, who dares to say that it is not won.

Just like when Quentin served as the chairman of the jury, Michael Moore's documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" won the Palme d'Or, and the general trend in the media is that the French want to block the Bush administration. In reality?

The selection of the awards is in the hands of the judges. The organizers of the film festival dare to intervene and say, "Let's add some obstruction to Bush", which will explode your interference scandal in minutes.

What is the reason for that?

Simple.

"Fahrenheit 911" was invested and produced by Miramax. As we all know, Weinstein and Quentin are really good buddies that can't be more iron. Then, "Fahrenheit 911" won the Palme d'Or. This documentary with an investment of 6 million yuan sold more than 200 million US dollars worldwide at the box office, and the Weinstein brothers made soaring profits.

This is the inside story.

After all, the Cannes Film Festival is after all a commercial film celebration, and it is not as sacred as some people think.

Through this event, millions of tourists from all over the world flock to this small French seaside town every year. This is the basis for the continuation of the Cannes Film Festival. As for the results of the awards, it is not so important for the organizers. . Even the more controversial

The results of the selection can only enhance the popularity of the Cannes Film Festival from a certain angle.

Separated from George Miller, Simon was about to greet some acquaintances at the party when Jennifer came over and said, "Boss, Natasha Kinski is here too, do you want to go over and chat with her? ?"

Natasha Kinski, the European actress who started dating Roman Polanski at the age of 14 and became popular with her, is also one of the judges of this year's Cannes Film Festival.

Among the ten judges this time, Simon can only contact William Goldman and George Miller just now. Although the others also know each other, they have not met each other, and the surrounding contacts cannot contact each other. .

Simon took Janet to the vicinity of a couple under the guidance of Jennifer, and the female assistant leaned into his ear and whispered: "That man is Kinski's husband, Ibrahim Moussa."

Simon nodded, and when the couple greeted another guest, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to Natasha Kinski: "Hello, Ms. Kinski."

Natasha Kinski wore a somewhat conservative round-neck long-sleeved dress tonight. When she heard Simon's greeting, she looked at him with a confused expression. She didn't take Simon's outstretched hand, but just swayed slenderly. His fingers stuttered a little and said: "You, um, you are, oh, I remembered, you are Simon Westeros, what does 'Westeros' mean?"

Simon did not expect this kind of reaction from the glamorous brown-haired girl, and even wondered if she was high.

Retracting his hand calmly, Simon smiled and said, "'Westeros' is my surname for myself, nothing else."

"Oh, do you think I'm stupid?" Natasha Kinski said, but her eyes swam to Janet beside Simon, and her eyes suddenly lit up: "Esmeralda, I was there a few days ago. Saw you on film, and your performance was amazing."

Natasha Kinski said, and came over very familiarly, and snatched Janet directly from Simon. Good sisters were about to go to other places arm in arm. Janet hit Simon. With a wink, he walked away with Natasha Kinski chatting with a smile.

Simon was even more confused about what was going on.

In my memory, this controversial and glamorous actress doesn't seem to have a tendency to lily except for liking old men?

When Natasha Kinski's husband saw his wife walk away from him, his expression was obviously not good. He simply said hello to Simon, and turned away.

Simon looked left and right, just shrugged, and walked over to the "When Harry Met Sally" crew.

"When Harry Met Sally" was also screened at the Cannes Film Festival this time. Of course, since the overseas copyright has been sold to Disney, Disney is also operating this matter.

At more than ten o'clock, Simon was going to leave. After searching around the party, he couldn't find Janet's figure, and Jennifer didn't know where she went.

Just a little anxious, Robert Redford told Simon that he had seen Janet and another woman leave the banquet hall early half an hour ago.

Simon went out of the party scene to find Neil Bennett who was waiting outside, only to learn that Janet had returned to the hilltop manor in Le Canet.

Taking Jennifer back to the residence, in the brightly lit villa, Simon found the terrace on the third floor all the way, and found that not only Janet, but Natasha Kinski was also there. Drink and chat.

Seeing Simon appear, Janet sat up and said hello to him. Natasha Kinski still just nodded to Simon lightly, as if she didn't catch a cold.

Simon walked over to Janet's chaise longue and sat down next to the woman, and glanced at Natasha Kinski, who had already dropped the conservative dress, and was now wearing a light pink silk nightdress, two peeks out. A maniacal long leg, the clothes clearly Janet's.

Reaching out his arms around Janet's waist, Simon leaned into the woman's ear and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

As soon as Simon's words were spoken, Natasha Kinski on the other side answered, "Mr. Westeros, I have very good ears."

Simon simply looked over and said, "Then will you explain it to me?"

Natasha shook the red wine in her hand and said casually, "Jenny and I can talk very well. I plan to stay here for one night."

Simon smiled and said, "But you have to understand, Miss Kinsky, our men have the final say."

"It's a coincidence, so is our family," Natasha Kinski gave Simon a sideways look and said, "That's why I can't take it anymore. Are you going to let Jenny run away from home too?"

Simon saw Janet looking at him with a smile, stretched out his hand and pinched the woman's chin, and said, "Jenny in our family is very good and won't run away from home. It's you, does your husband know? I don't want him to call the police. Get into trouble."

Natasha Kinski changed her posture, lay on her side on the reclining chair and said lazily, "I asked someone to give him a message, and I won't go back to live tonight."

"Then," Simon said helplessly, "it's very late, I'll let you arrange the room for you."

Natasha Kinski lifted the glass towards the master bedroom: "This room is not bad, I sleep with Jenny."

Simon pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Then what should I do?"

Natasha Kinsky glanced at Simon: "You can come too, but if you dare to touch me, I will bite your thing off."

The woman's tone was light, but Simon felt a chill down his spine, so he retreated directly, got up and said, "Okay, then you go to bed earlier."

Amid Janet's schadenfreude laughter, Simon left the terrace.

Although it feels

It was still a little weird, but it was very late, and after changing to a bedroom, Simon quickly fell asleep.

The jet lag was still a little chaotic, but after less than six hours of rest, Simon woke up again, and it was just over five o'clock. It was already summer, and although it was only after five o'clock, the sky was already bright outside. Simon's changed bedroom is still on the third floor, with a spacious terrace as well.

After taking a shower, Simon put on his clothes and came to the terrace, looking at the beautiful view of the small town of Cannes lined with white buildings at the foot of the mountain and the beautiful golden ripples of the bay.

Miaoman, who was wearing only a pair of bottoms, walked out of the bedroom lazily, lying on the railing and looking at the distance with a lonely expression. After a while, she noticed Simon on the other side, the woman neither screamed in anger nor panicked and shy. , turned around calmly, and floated into the bedroom again.

Simon couldn't help touching his nose.

This is really, really weird.

After breakfast, when Ken Dixon was dispatched to drive Natasha Kinski away, Janet explained to Simon that Natasha Kinski was having an argument with her husband, the Egyptian businessman who had been trying to get Kinski After a few years of tug-of-war, the actress gave birth last year and reluctantly agreed to it, but after only a few months, she took over the job of the judges at the Cannes Film Festival again and announced her commitment. Start arguing.

Simon didn't care about other people's housework. After Janet explained it, he said that he still got some things done, so he left it behind.

The opening ceremony was held at 7 o'clock in the afternoon. However, before that, the organizer also arranged a media photo shoot for the main creators of the shortlisted works. Simon was busy all morning and took a short break in the afternoon for a few hours. The crew of "Pulp Fiction" The assembly began. At around 6:30, everyone set off from the hotel that Orion had booked and drove to the Cannes Film Palace on the seaside.
