Simon explained to Robert Rem, sent the other party to preside over the publicity meeting of "Steel Magnolia", and found a small conference room by himself to wait for the end of the discussion there to talk to a few executives.

Just sitting down at the conference table, Simon was reading a media feedback material for "Steel Magnolia" when the door was knocked, and a tall slender girl came in, but it was Julia Roberts.

Staying in the reception room was a bit boring, Julia went to the bathroom to touch up her makeup, and when she came out, she happened to notice Simon and Rem talking in the corridor. When the two separated, she quietly followed Simon here.

Simon didn't care why Julia knew she was here, just smiled at her, looking at the girl's long hair, and said with a smile, "Hair grows so fast?"

In "Steel Magnolia," Julia's Shelby had her hair cut later in the film due to kidney disease. Simon has always thought Julia looked better with short hair than she did with long hair.

Julia immediately understood what Simon was talking about, and explained: "It's wearing a wig. If the hair is really cut, it will be very troublesome, and it will take a long time to grow back."

Saying so, Julia pushed the door open and walked in.

However, after closing the door and turning to look at the man at the conference table, Julia couldn't help but feel a little restrained, not knowing what to do for a while.

This is Simon Westeros.

Simon noticed the woman's hesitation, smiled again, and pointed to his side: "Come, sit down."

Julia came over, sat down on the chair next to Simon, glanced at the document in Simon's hand, and said, "Simon, what are you looking at?"

"The media feedback on 'Steel Magnolia', many critics said you did a good job."

Simon replied casually, the two were very close, and he also unceremoniously looked at the big-mouthed beauty who was at the peak of her appearance at this time. Julia was wearing a black turtleneck sweater and white casual trousers today, sitting sideways, her natural style and her long straight legs were quite attractive.

Feeling Simon's eyes, Julia adjusted her posture slightly and said, "Everyone's performance is great, Simon, do you think this movie can get $100 million at the box office?"

Simon said: "I'm not sure, it depends on whether the audience will buy it."

"Steel Magnolia" in the original time and space is a standard box office dark horse. Not many people have expectations for this film, but it exploded so inexplicably. Although it failed to break 100 million, the domestic box office of more than 80 million US dollars is enough for many movies to look up to in this era.

Now, Daenerys Entertainment has invested far more energy into this movie than Samsung Pictures, and the reputation of the movie has been confirmed with the test screening yesterday. Still very confident.

"'When Harry Met Sally', 'Pulp Fiction', 'Instinct', and most recently 'Scream'," Julia said, counting down her fingers, "This is four in a row. , it would be a shame to break it on Steel Magnolia."

"It's not a pity, I always have to give others some way to survive," Simon said, remembering Julia's purpose today, and said, "The meeting over there is about to start, won't you go?"

"Just listen to the agent for help. Anyway, I'll do whatever Daenerys Entertainment arranges."

Simon smiled and said, "I can really talk."

Julia noticed that Simon raised his left hand slightly when he spoke, and combined with his eyes, she realized that the man just wanted to reach out and pick his chin or something. Such a frivolous action, Julia would definitely be annoyed if it was someone else, but at this time she felt faint regret that the man didn't act.

Leaning slightly towards the man, Julia continued, "Simon, Daenerys Entertainment and I have four more film contracts. Can you help me write a script for the next film?"

Simon said: "Your next movie has been set, but the script is still being revised. Preparations will probably begin early next year, and the schedule is Valentine's Day the year after."

Julia suddenly became curious: "What story, can I read the script first?"

"A romance film similar to "La Traviata"," Simon explained casually: "After the script is completed, it will be handed over to you, so don't worry."

Julia nodded, suddenly realizing another thing.

Preparations will start in the first half of next year, and it is estimated that the filming will start at least in the middle of the year. The schedule is Valentine's Day the next year, so what about next year? Do you want to have no films released for the whole year next year?

Looking at the man in front of him who seemed to be unaware of this, Julia raised her hand and made a small gesture in the air, and said, "Simon, before that movie starts, can I pick up another movie?"

Simon's eyes turned back to the document in his hand, and said casually: "If there is a suitable one, I will help you arrange it."

Julia tentatively said: "If, Simon, if there is no suitable one, can I take scripts from other film companies?"

Simon shook his head: "No."

Before Meg Ryan and Nicole Kidman, Daenerys Entertainment has two priority film contracts. Because the company did not have a suitable project for the time being, Simon generously let the two girls go to other movies first. However, this kind of generosity does not seem to have the desired effect.

For example, in "Flying over the Innocent" this time, caa directly quoted a high price of 5 million US dollars for the heroine of Meg Ryan, which was more than double the salary budget of the heroine expected by the company.

Totally comparable to Mel Gibson.

Equal pay for male and female stars in Hollywood has always been a joke.

Just like Julia in the original time and space, after the global blockbuster romance film "Pretty Woman", Julia participated in "Captain Hawk", Spielberg, Dustin Hoffman and Robin The three main creators of Williams have to take 40% of the total net profit of the film on the basis of the high base salary, but Julia's salary for playing the elf Tinkerbell is only 2.5 million US dollars.

Now, since the caa lion has made a big talk, Daenerys Entertainment has also directly pressed Meg Ryan's salary to $2 million, and the two sides are still at a stalemate.

Because of these lessons, Simon doesn't plan to do superfluous things anymore.

Feeling Simon's non-negotiable tone, Julia subconsciously shrank her neck. However, she didn't intend to give up. A small hand reached out boldly, and her index finger sketched a few times on the man's arm, and said, "Simon, maybe we can find time to chat in private, how about tonight?"

Simon shook his head, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Not tonight, it's better now."

"what?"

This time it was Julia's turn to be surprised. She looked left and right, then glanced at the door again, as if she had forgotten to lock it just now.

Simon didn't seem to care about her hesitation at all, and even seemed to have forgotten what he had just said for a moment, and the old god was on the ground and once again set his eyes on the document in his hand.

Julia hesitated for a moment, finally made up her mind, got up, walked to the door, locked the door, and came back again. Then, standing beside Simon, his eyes began to wander, looking at the table, at the chair, and at the ground.

Finally fell on the man.

nasty man.

With a grudge in her heart, Julia picked up the hem of her sweater and took off her clothes, and the conference room door rang.

Simon was indifferent, but Julia was taken aback, and all the courage she had just mustered was immediately vented.

The door rang a few more times, and Simon made a gesture to open the door to Julia, who was standing there. Stand outside the door.

With a little dodge in her eyes, Jennifer greeted casually with a thick stack of documents, "Hello, Miss Roberts, is the boss there?"

Julia hadn't recovered from the shock just now, so naturally she didn't notice the strange look in Jennifer's eyes, she turned to let the female assistant in, thought about it and said goodbye: "Then, Simon, I'll go to the meeting first. Yes. You, um, can call me anytime."

After Julia finished speaking, she went out and left.

Jennifer didn't seem to hear Julia's words at all. She came to the conference table, turned her back to Simon, and silently put a pencil on the table first, and then spread out several documents one by one. The action is as slow as possible, and it is generally angry, and does not intend to turn around and face a certain guy.

Then, a voice sounded behind her: "Eavesdropping outside?"

Jennifer paused.

Something seems wrong?

Why do I feel guilty every time a guy wants to do something bad?

When she learned that the meeting was over just now, she came here with some documents ordered by Simon, and happened to see Julia Roberts sneaking into the meeting room. I originally wanted to leave first, but I couldn't help coming over, standing outside the door and 'waiting' for a while, and vaguely heard some hateful words, so I couldn't resist knocking on the door to destroy his good deeds.

Not intending to respond to his question, he was not guilty, so he planned to leave without saying a word.

Heart is sour.

He wouldn't really let himself go, would he?

As soon as she took a step, she grabbed a hand from behind her. She struggled lightly, and no longer resisted, but she still carried him behind her back, her mind quickly turned around, whether her expression should be indifferent or angry, Or should I condemn him first?

After Saturday's meeting, under Simon's personal supervision, Daenerys Entertainment began to make quick adjustments.

Simon has always wanted to be a hands-off boss, but he also understands that he can let go as much as possible after at least letting Daenerys Entertainment develop a certain corporate culture. At that time, the company will be like a machine that has finished running in, even without him as an operator, it will be able to operate according to the established rules.

In the new week, one of the most talked about events in the entire country is undoubtedly the official vote in the presidential election, which is about to start on Tuesday. After six months of intense campaign, two presidential candidates George Bush and Michael Dukakis will start the final showdown.

Most things haven't changed much because of Simon's appearance, so he can basically determine the outcome of this presidential election.

On the Hollywood side, although the presidential election has attracted the attention of many people, the box office data this past weekend is still a lot of attention.

From November 4th to November 6th, "Scream", which entered its second week of release, was still firmly locked in the single-week box office champion. The box office received another 12.66 million US dollars in the next three days. The film was released for ten days. The cumulative box office has reached 33.37 million US dollars.

In comparison, Universal Pictures' new film "Extreme Space", which was released this week, ranked second, with a box office of only $4.63 million in three days.

It's just that "Scream" has been left far behind in the second place, and most of the other films on the list are even less worth mentioning.

Except, of course, Steel Magnolia.

The new film opens on just 22 screens across North America

, Because of Daenerys Entertainment's tireless publicity campaign and the unanimous praise of the media, it received a box office of 1.13 million US dollars in the first weekend and three days. Although it can only rank 11th in the single-week box office list, it is obvious that no one can ignore it. The point is that the movie has only 22 screens.

Moreover, the average of more than 51,000 US dollars in the three days also surprised many people.

Hollywood studios have begun to study the highlights of the film, trying to find similar themes to follow suit, but as a result, most people do not understand why a female movie like "Steel Magnolia" is so popular. In the end, the circle can only attribute the credit to Daenerys Entertainment's marketing offensive at all costs.

In the process of first discussing the announcement and distribution plan, everyone felt that the theme of women's films would greatly limit the box office performance of "Steel Magnolia".

But in the end, after repeated discussions by the team, Daenerys Entertainment finally decided to put aside the characteristics of the female film "Steel Magnolia" as much as possible, and market the film as a family film suitable for the whole family to watch during the festival.

Although Thanksgiving and Easter have not yet come, the box office data of the first weekend has also made the company confirm the correctness of this distribution strategy.

Tuesday, November 8th.

The 41st US presidential election has officially opened, and voting is very new to Simon. Then, he simply didn't go to the polls and spent the day at work as usual.

The North American media, who have been paying close attention to Simon Westeros' personal political inclination, have been chasing him since early in the morning. As a result, more than a dozen reporters squatted outside Daenerys Entertainment's headquarters for a whole day without finding out. Simon has signs of going out to vote. CNN specifically mentioned this in the live broadcast of the day, and specially invited current affairs experts to analyze it with seriousness, and then came to the conclusion that Simon Westeros is a person who does not care about politics.

Subsequently, although the voting results of many states were still being counted, in the afternoon of the same day, the major North American TV networks broadcast live in real time had announced that George Bush had won more than half of the electoral votes of all 538 chapters in the United States, and he was definitely the next President of the United States.

The next day, the election was completely settled. George Bush finally got 428 electoral votes, showing an overwhelming advantage. In comparison, Michael Dukakis only got 111 electoral votes. .

Now that George Bush wins, many things in Simon's memory will be destined to happen, and he has begun to prepare more privately for what lies ahead.
