"Speaking of which, I had this idea when I first participated in the Chanel Haute Couture show. Many people always don't understand why a hand-made custom dress is so expensive, and they don't know how much tedious processes are involved. At the next opportunity, I came up with the idea of ​​this "Fashion Workshop" show."

"So, your first episode is going to start with Chanel?"

"Yeah, there is still Carl in the production process. This is a rare opportunity. Of course, Simon, if you insist on starting from Gucci, I can also adjust the program plan. Anyway, the first three episodes have been completed, the second episode. It's Gucci."

"Listening to your tone, I seem to be a stingy man."

"If I really thought so, I would have been afraid to choose Chanel in the first place."

"Very good at talking."

"Tsk, your tone is really old-fashioned, Jenny, don't you think so too?"

"Indeed, he's like an old man sometimes."

"Ha ha."

The reception scene.

The Simons and Jerry Hall are discussing a show they plan and host.

"Fashion Workshop", as the name suggests, mainly takes the audience to visit and introduce the handicraft workshops of major fashion brands.

In the fashion industry, there are various handicraft workshops ranging from small buttons and feathers to wedding dresses. Since they are handmade in small batches, the prices are naturally expensive, so most of them belong to the ranks of luxury goods.

For example, for a custom wedding dress, from the design to the completion of the wedding dress, it may take a large number of senior technicians from different workshops to complete it for several months. Therefore, the price of a top-of-the-line wedding dress is hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is not at all. Exaggerated.

In the past few years after Gucci's recovery, Sofia has spent a large part of its brand expansion efforts on acquiring various old-fashioned handcraft workshops in Europe to increase the brand's gold content.

After the establishment of fashion tv, of course, a group of staff cannot sit in a conference room and create programs behind closed doors, but like fashion magazines, they "request" to the TV fashion industry to seek various program ideas.

In the process, Jerry Hall provided a program of on-the-spot visits to various craft workshops.

It's just the fashion industry, the handicraft workshops under the major luxury goods, and the subdivision workshops such as buttons, feather accessories, coats and hats, shoes and so on that may last for a hundred years. The profound cultural heritage of writing something, therefore, Jerry Hall's idea was quickly accepted by the fashion tv program production team, and the 13th episode of the first season was scheduled, and Jerry Hall himself served as the producer. person and moderator.

In the original time and space, the public's impression of Jerry Hall is basically only two, the wife of Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, and later the wife of News Corp chairman Rupert Murdoch.

Just these two items are enough for too many people to confirm that this is a very powerful woman.

Actually it does.

Being able to drag Mick Jagger, a playboy, into the marriage grave, and finally have a twilight love with media mogul Rupert Murdoch, is something that ordinary women can't do.

A smart and powerful woman is naturally impossible to be a vase around a man.

The former supermodel and supermodel is 36 years old this year, and her runway career has basically come to an end. Being able to take advantage of the opportunity of Daenerys Entertainment's establishment of fashion tv has successfully transformed into the background, which once again proved the strength of this woman.

As for the show "Fashion Workshop", both the fashion tv operation team and Simon himself are very optimistic.

As long as the program is good enough, a series of documentaries about the fashion industry's handicraft workshops can completely become a signature of fashion tv, and it is still a classic series that can be repeated for a long time. In the future, fashion tv will expand to the world, and this series will be in any region. Playing on the network will not appear out of date.

At the same time, the promotion of handicraft workshops in the fashion industry can also allow the audience to have a deeper understanding of the value heritage of major luxury brands, which is actually a kind of publicity.

Everyone chatted for a while, knowing that Simon had other people to entertain, and Jerry Hall took the initiative to leave.

However, when she left, the woman did not forget to find an opportunity to quietly throw an ambiguous look at Simon, as if she had called me privately.

Janet seemed to be unaware of this, holding Simon's arm and saying, "She's really tall, she's taller than you."

Putting on high heels, Jerry Hall can reach a height of 1.9 meters, which does look taller than Simon. This height is indeed enough to make most of the same sex and opposite sex feel ashamed. However, because of her excellent figure, even though she is thirty-six years old, this woman still looks charming and can easily provoke a man's desire to conquer.

The two continued to socialize for about half an hour and noticed that Janet beside her seemed a little tired, so Simon left the party with the woman ahead of time.

Back at the apartment on Fifth Avenue, Janet leaned her head directly on Simon's shoulder in the elevator and narrowed her eyes. Simon hugged the woman in front of him with concern, and put a sticker on her forehead. She didn't feel hot, and asked: " uncomfortable?"

Janet reached out and wrapped her arms around the man's waist and wrapped it around him, raised her face and rubbed Simon's chin, saying, "There's been a lot going on recently."

Not just Cersei Capital, Janet's authority now, basically covers

Whole Daenerys entertainment.

Especially at the beginning of the year, when the companies in the Westeros system were summarizing their financial information for the past year, women had to read several financial documents almost every day to ensure that there were no mistakes in them, and they had to take care of two people. Her private life is indeed very busy every day, which is completely inconsistent with her lazy personality.

He lowered his head and pecked on the woman's lips, the elevator door opened, and Simon simply picked Janet up and walked towards the apartment, saying, "If you don't want to do it, don't do it. You are better at arranging these than me."

Janet was held in her arms by Simon in a princess hug, and she simply kicked off the small high heels on her feet, gently shook her white feet, and said, "No, maybe, I can't tell, either. Just a little tired lately."

Alison, a girl in the apartment, opened the door, Simon entered the living room, and wanted to put Janet on the sofa. The woman wrapped around his neck and didn't let go, so she simply sat down on the sofa while maintaining her posture, thinking about it: " Take the time to go to the hospital for a check up."

"I don't want to go to the hospital."

"Then call home," Simon said, and simply raised his head and said to the girl B who was also welcoming out: "B, you arrange it, and let the doctor come to check on Jenny tomorrow."

"Well, forget it, I'd better go to the hospital. Well, back to Los Angeles, our own hospital."

Janet didn't want the doctor to come to the house more than to go to the hospital.

From very early on, Simon knew that Janet had an instinctive resistance to things like doctors and hospitals.

The Westeros family's private hospital has been prepared since Janet was pregnant with Melbourne, and it has now been basically completed. It has about 20 top doctors of various types in the industry, and usually only faces the high-level executives of the Westeros system. open.

Simon took a serious look at Janet's rosy face because she had just drank some wine. Seeing that the woman was making a face at her mischievously, she didn't force it too much.

When he saw the condition of Steve Ross after suffering from cancer, Simon attached great importance to the health of himself and the people around him. The two would have a comprehensive physical examination every six months. The last physical examination was in early January. Janet's body The state is very healthy, and it is impossible for anything to happen in just one month.

After finishing the online work of fashion tv on Monday, she continued to stay in New York for a day. On Wednesday, February 10, Janet returned to Los Angeles, and Simon left for Europe, planning to participate in the opening ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival on February 11.

After the merger of East and West Germany, the international political situation changed, the Cold War stopped completely, and Germany also began to pay attention to its own cultural construction.

In recent years, the Berlin Film Festival has become a cultural project of increasing importance for the German government.

Simon's attendance at the opening ceremony of the 43rd Berlin Film Festival this time was the result of strong invitations from all parties.

Speaking of which, Simon has appeared more than once in the three major European film festivals, Cannes and Venice. Only in Berlin, Simon has never attended before. Considering the necessary trip to Europe in the near future, we are dealing with Wester at the beginning of the new year. Luo's affairs in various European companies, Simon agreed to the invitation.

Moreover, although the Berlin Film Festival has always been less interested in Hollywood films in terms of awards, in fact, Hollywood films are a very important category at the Berlin Film Festival every year.

In recent years, Hollywood's well-known "Dancing With Wolves", "Moonlight Sultry", "Born on the Fourth of July", "Driving for Miss Daisy" and other excellent films have basically appeared in In the main competition section of the annual Berlin Film Festival.

The current Berlin Film Festival, in order to attract more content, does not limit the participation of films that are screened.

The Hollywood legion in the main competition unit of this year's Berlin Film Festival is still strong. Among the 26 films in the main competition unit, there are "The Wedding Banquet" directed by Ang Lee, "Field of Love" starring Michelle Pfeiffer, and Robin William. James' "Toys" released last year, Spike Lee's "Malcolm X", Jack Nicholson's late last year crime drama "Hoffa" and Johnny Depp's "Arizona". "Dream" six Hollywood films were shortlisted, more than one-fifth of the main competition unit share.

Among the six main competition films, "The Wedding Banquet" was produced by Gaomen Pictures.

After Jack Cheng's "Double Dragon Club" achieved good success, Daenerys Entertainment has been paying more attention to investing in discourse films in the past two years, but "The Wedding Banquet" was a script that Catherine Bigelow privately recommended to Simon.

Because of her experience studying film at Columbia University, Katherine has always been close to the New York film industry, and her relationship with Simon is almost well known. Coupled with Daenerys Entertainment's emphasis on independent art films, there will always be some The filmmakers handed over the script to Simon through the woman's channel.

Because Simon agrees to invest without hesitation every time, there are not many scripts that can really be handed over to Simon through Catherine's hands. "The Wedding Banquet" is one of them.

However, even after Katherine's hand, the budget cost of "The Wedding Banquet" is not high, only one million US dollars.

In addition, Gaomen Pictures has signed a three-film long-term contract with Ang Lee.

This clause was ordered by Simon himself.

Li is one of the few Chinese directors who can break into Hollywood and succeed. Since he meets him, Simon will of course not let him go.

It departed from New York on the afternoon of January 10, and arrived in Berlin after a flight of more than seven hours. It was already more than seven o'clock in the morning on January 11.

The opening ceremony red carpet started at five o'clock in the afternoon, Simon first rushed to his residence in Berlin.

For many reasons, Berlin is always inferior to London and Paris in the impression of many people.

So conspicuous, even when arranging the big European cities, where Berlin is often tied with other big cities, it is often difficult to grab a lot of presence. This phenomenon is the same throughout Germany.

After World War II, even on the front lines of the Cold War, Germany has always been very low-key on the international political stage. East and West Germany is silently attached to or controlled by the two major powers in the East and the West. three major economies.

When Simon first started buying properties in Europe, East and West Germany had not yet merged, so he didn't buy property in Berlin.

In recent years, Simon's personal wealth has grown rapidly, and he has the strength to support the idea of ​​buying properties in major cities around the world. Berlin is naturally included in it.

Compared with the manor outside Paris, the Kensington mansion in London or the mountain villa in Cannes, Simon's residence in Berlin is much 'ordinary'. This is a five-storey pure white European-style apartment in the center of Berlin. It is less than two kilometers away from Berlin's iconic sights such as the German Chancellery and the Brandenburg Gate by the Spree River that crosses the urban area of ​​Berlin.

Not only that, the apartment is paralleled with several other buildings of similar style, forming a gated community with a wall on one side, so that you can enjoy the view of Berlin city through the windows on the side near the Spree. , also enough to ensure the privacy of the apartment. It was for the latter point that Simon bought an entire five-story apartment.

Just looking at the location, the original price of the apartment is not too low. In order to buy the whole apartment, including the renovation and decoration costs of more than 60 rooms inside, the total investment before and after the investment reached 25 million US dollars, and the renovation also cost last year. A whole year.

In the early 1990s, the $25 million mansion is basically the same as the later billion-dollar mansion.

Except for Simon, there is probably no other rich man, just to have his own property in a city, and he may not even be able to live in it once or twice a year, so he invested 25 million in it. After all, for this property, all Simon invested before and after was real cash.

It's just $25 million in cash, and it's not something that most of the top billionaires who are worth only a few billion dollars at this stage can easily get it.
