For a week in a row, Simon was in a very fulfilling state.

During the day, he was busy with the preparations for "Batman", and in the evening he had to participate in various parties and receptions specially arranged for him.

In addition to the title of the world's youngest talented director, Simon's wealth is now enough for him to attract the attention of the entire Australian upper class. Coupled with the deep network of the Johnston family, the grand party held at the Yarra River Mansion on Saturday invited almost all the political and business celebrities in Australia, and the current Prime Minister and Governor-General of Australia specially attended.

Simon also accidentally saw Rupert Murdoch, the head of the Murdoch family who also made his fortune in Melbourne. In order to expand News Corporation's business in the United States, the newspaper tycoon has immigrated to the United States, but in fact, News Corporation's business. Control remains with the family's Australian-based holding company.

Because there is no industrial competition between them, the Johnston family has a very good relationship with several major media families in Australia.

Janet also told Simon that Raymond Johnston originally wanted to introduce Murdoch to him at the right time to help Daenerys Pictures grow in Hollywood, but Simon's rise was too rapid , it becomes less important.

On the other hand, as a young man who has created a series of miracles in just two years, Simon's trip to Australia has also attracted the attention of local media.

In just one week, Simon's rise from an obscure little person to accumulating a fortune of billions of dollars was completely sorted out by the Australian local media.

Coincidentally, in the week that Simon came to Melbourne, "Instinct", which was released in North America in its eighth week, received another $5.06 million at the box office in a single week after a full week of screenings from September 2 to September 8, and the cumulative box office officially broke through. The $100 million mark reached $102.32 million, making it the third North American box office hit of Daenerys Entertainment this year.

Even in 1985, there were only three films that exceeded $100 million at the box office in North America.

Therefore, the box office miracle created by Daenerys Entertainment has also become the focus of media discussion. Due to News Corporation, "Instinct" was almost released in Australia at the same time as North America. Because of appropriate deletions and News Corporation's strong media influence in Australia, the film did not cause a strong reaction in North America. dispute.

Because of Simon's status as an Australian son-in-law, these days, the media tend to praise him more.

also.

The upcoming "Batman" filming in Melbourne has naturally become the object of close media attention.

The liberal tax rebate policy that this film received was quickly exposed. Although everyone knew that there was influence of the Johnston family, Melbourne officials were also very calm, and publicly praised the film in response to the media. A project with global influence such as "Batman" brought a strong boost to the local film industry in Australia.

The major local media forces that have always had different opinions in the past have also maintained a unified voice this time to save face. Even if there are some noises, it is completely irrelevant to the overall situation.

In all kinds of busyness and entertainment, the time will soon come to Saturday, September 10th.

According to the agreement between Daenerys Entertainment and the four major TV networks, starting from Sunday, September 11, four reality TV shows produced by Daenerys Entertainment, "Who Will Be a Millionaire", "Survivor", "Big Brother" and "Beverly Wife" will be released in the coming week.

For the specific schedule, abc's "Who Will Be a Millionaire" will start on September 11, with three episodes a week, and the broadcast time will be Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. NBC's "Survivor," Fox's "Big Brother," and CBS's "Beverly Wife," all belong to weekly episodes that air on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Wednesdays, respectively. The unpopular schedules of TV dramas on Friday and Saturday were deliberately skipped.

Due to the previous five-month strike of Hollywood screenwriters, the TV series in this fall will generally be postponed to 10 copies. Therefore, what should have been the golden September file with the most intense competition for ratings has completely become the four Daenerys Entertainment films. The world of reality shows.

It is conceivable that as long as half of the four reality shows are successful, it is enough to seriously dampen the confidence of the Writers Guild of America to strike again. In addition, the four major TV networks have spent a lot of money to get these four reality shows, so they spared no effort in publicity and promotion.

In the mountains northeast of Melbourne.

Because of its proximity to the sea, the mountain forests in the temperate maritime climate zone are not as withered as inland winters, but are still green.

Simon was brought here to hunt by Raymond Johnston early in the morning. He knew that this was a big hobby of Janet's father, and he knew that it was the old man who wanted to talk to himself alone. Simon happily went with him. .

bang——

In the mountains that belonged to the Johnston family's private hunting grounds, after a gunshot, several hounds barked and ran towards a wild boar. Simon and Raymond carried an old-fashioned shotgun and were surrounded by a few entourages leisurely. Go to the fallen boar.

"The name of "Big Brother" comes from a science fiction novel "1984" in the 1940s, which tells the story of human beings in 1984 under the centralized rule of a head of state named Big Brother. Apple also created a book based on this book. The very famous 1984 commercial for Big Brother, in which a woman smashes a hammer into a big screen that is playing Big Brother's speech, hints at Apple's eclectic breaking of the shackles. The reality show produced by Daenerys Entertainment is all about showing Whether the players can get a team like Big Brother

Dominance, in essence, it is more to satisfy the voyeuristic desire of the audience. "

As they walk, Simon explains about four upcoming reality shows from Daenerys Entertainment.

"'Who Will Be a Millionaire' takes advantage of people's greed, and 'Big Brother' takes advantage of people's voyeurism, which is wonderful," Raymond Johnston said, looking at Simon, and suddenly said: " Simon, what is your desire?"

Simon thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Ray, I have everything now."

Raymond Johnston pressed, "Satisfied?"

Simon shook his head and said, "Not satisfied, but there is no strong desire."

"This is your problem," Raymond Johnston said: "Although I've only been with you these days, I can already feel your confusion. You've gone too smoothly, you have too much, and you're already a little overwhelmed. "

Simon was silent for a while, still nodded slightly, and said: "I think if I continue, I may encounter more and more troubles, and even dangers."

Everyone walked to the wild boar that had just fallen down. Seeing that the time was approaching noon, Raymond Johnston ordered his entourage to wash the wild boar and prepare lunch, and chose an open space with Simon to sit down and said, "Boy, Do you know how our family got rich?"

Simon shook his head.

Raymond Johnston raised his hand and gestured around, saying, "This place was originally a place of exile. The name Johnston does not have any glorious history, and my family has no noble blood. Frankly speaking, We are the descendants of a bunch of criminals. After a hundred years in this land, too many people still crave the recognition of their motherland. For this, they took the initiative to participate in two world wars. Some people are ecstatic when they get a knighthood, but Johns This is not the case with the Dun family. We know our identity very well, but we never succumb to our own destiny. We only believe in ourselves and only in strength. Only the weak will seek recognition, and we only want to stand in the position of those who agree. My father In order to expand the family business to the current level, you can't imagine the hardships you experienced back then. It used to be just to transport a mere 60 tons of iron ore from the mine to the wharf. My father brought a dozen workers to fight with people and died. He also left two bullet holes in his body. Similar things happened more than once. Later, when he felt the restrictions imposed by the United Kingdom on Australia, my father joined everyone to secretly promote the country's independence. Because it does not recognize inheritance tax , My father worked in secret for seven years, and finally abolished this law. In the process, at least six high-ranking officials and parliamentarians died in car accidents, heart attacks, and accidental robberies..."

Simon was filled with emotion when he listened to the past that Raymond Johnston would never reveal to outsiders on weekdays.

The accumulation of capital is never smooth sailing.

This is especially true for the development of mining resources. Although this industry is always ups and downs to the outside world, it seems that it is very unprofitable, but anyone with a little common sense understands the huge profits contained in this industry.

Raymond Johnston was obviously caught in the recollection, and soon turned to Simon, saying: "Boy, your success is too easy in comparison. But at the same time, you have actually jumped out of some boundaries. , become a player in this world, not a pawn. You have to understand that players actually value themselves very much, because we are the manipulators of the game, most of the time, we don't have to play in person at all, there are too many flags for us Drive, even if you want to abandon, the sacrifice will only be the pawn. Therefore, among players, as long as you follow certain game rules, you don't have to be afraid at all. If you are stronger than your opponent, you will only be feared by others. "

If Simon realized something, he remembered a certain idea that occurred a few days ago, and couldn't help but whisper: "Humans create rules, humans control rules, and humans destroy rules."

When Raymond Johnston heard Simon's words, he shook his head and said, "The strong control the rules, the weak follow the rules, boy, you can use your own strength to promote and create new rules that are beneficial to yourself, and then let others abide by them, but don't Deliberately break the established rules, so that the game can be played for a long time. Conversely, deliberately breaking the rules on the board, the opponent may really want to throw a punch at you.”

Simon nodded seriously, thinking of something, with a smile on his mouth, and said, "I suddenly feel that Janet's grandfather must like his granddaughter very much."

There's something completely reckless about Janet's character that is so similar to the Nicholas Johnston that Raymond Johnston just described.

Raymond Johnston was stunned for a moment, smiled, and said, "Of course, I admire my father very much, so I also like Jenny's temperament very much. If it wasn't for this girl who didn't have the heart to take care of family affairs, I would definitely She was trained to be the successor of the Johnston family. So, treat her well, she will definitely be able to help you in the future."

Simon nodded solemnly and said, "I will."

After Raymond Johnston finished speaking, he got up and said: "Then, let's go, let's prepare lunch in person, this kind of thing is the most interesting thing to do in person, maybe we can fight a few more rabbits. By the way, you know that back then The Aussie bunnies thing? That girl you used in Pulp Fiction, Nicole Kidman, her great-grandfather Sidney Kidman was very impressed with that, haha."

Simon and Raymond Johnston were talking about Janet when Janet arrived at a high-rise apartment in central Melbourne. I originally wanted to bring my boyfriend here, but unfortunately Simon was dragged by his father to hunt, so he had to give up.

Taking the private elevator familiarly to the door of a penthouse, Janet rang the doorbell a few times, but no one opened the door, so she took out the key to open the door and walked in by herself.

in front of one

A very clean and simple apartment, decorated in pure white, located on the top floor of the thirty-two-story apartment building, Janet sniffed, feeling the faint scent of women around her, and suddenly felt that her little aunt had something to do with someone. Similar guy.

This is Veronica Johnston's apartment.

When she heard that her little aunt came back from Western Australia, Janet ran over excitedly, but unfortunately a certain workaholic has not returned.

It was like returning to her own home, Janet took off her shoes, walked around the villa with bare feet, made herself a pot of coffee, turned on the TV in the living room, and leaned in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows to admire her feet for a while. The city scene, like a kitten, wandered into the bedroom, rolled over on the big bed, and unknowingly came to the study.

The study still had a certain femininity that even Janet felt very comfortable, and the bookshelves were filled with various economics and management books.

After tiptoing to the desk, Janet was about to sit on the office chair when she found a book spread out on the table.

He picked it up suspiciously, it was a novel in French.

Janet had learned a little French and immediately recognized the title of the book, The Count of Monte Cristo.

Immediately, I felt very strange. How could Bingshan be interested in Dumas' novels?

Well, "The Count of Monte Cristo" seems to be a story of revenge.

Who is she going to avenge?

Thinking like this, she picked up the book and sat on the chair and flipped through it for a while. Janet soon lost interest again, grabbed the phone on the desk and played a series of numbers, and after connecting, said: "Hello, Bingshan... I'm at your house, we have lunch together... No time, um, you don't even have time to eat... What kind of clients are you meeting, I will accompany you to see them, what if you encounter bad people... alone ?Yeah, oh, you mean Simon, he was dragged by the old man to hunt...Speaking of, are you free at night? Simon and I invite you to dinner...Don't worry, it's not at our house, I know you're afraid of dad talking You, how are you here...don't be like this...in a few days, in a few days, Simon and I are going back to Los Angeles...Hey, um, Iceberg? Vinnie? Veronica?"

Listening to the beeping busy tone in the microphone, Janet frowned in distress, and had to put down the microphone helplessly.

Weird.

With this thought in her mind, Janet's little head habitually turned a half circle. Although she was still confused, she was too lazy to think about it.

But he didn't give up the idea of ​​pulling his boyfriend to show off in front of his little aunt.

hum.

I can't believe you haven't been home for a few days.
