With the addition of three little guys, the breakfast time at Shell Villa was full of energy.

It's Monday, May 16th.

The family of seven in the restaurant, the Simon and his wife sit together as usual, Veronica is next to Melbourne, the female assistant takes little Nick, Janet grabs Seattle by her side, and takes pleasure in teaching the unusually precocious little girl to put the dining table on the table. I read the food utensils one by one, and occasionally rewarded for sucking a certain food, and I saw little Nick on the special baby seat opposite drooling. The two little ones are only six months old, and they are completely joining in the fun. They can't eat anything except milk for the time being.

Seattle Xiaoxiao tasted the taste of dragon fruit particles and spit it into the spoon. Janet smiled and complimented, noticing that the younger son on the opposite side was staring at her with wide eyes, and gestured to put the spoon across the dining table to lure him. Said: "Little guy, call your mother, and call your mother to feed you."

Little Nick obviously couldn't scream, just babbled and opened his mouth, his little face full of expectation.

Then, Janet decisively put the spoon back in her mouth, enjoying it. The little guy who was played by his own mother finally couldn't help it, and he burst into tears.

The female assistant rolled her eyes at Janet, took Little Nick out of the baby seat and coaxed her gently, lifted the front of her shirt to breastfeed the baby, and then stopped crying.

Janet glanced at the female assistant who was feeding the baby, then glanced sideways at her man, and finally turned to Seattle, like grandma wolf: "Do you want to breastfeed too?"

Seattle nodded his head slightly, his voice was still very soft, but he pronounced it clearly: "yeah."

Janet immediately showed a successful expression and shook her head regretfully: "No, it was eaten up by your father."

Janet said, feeling that even her eldest son was looking at her strangely, Simon could only pretend that nothing happened.

Unexpectedly, Janet was still making trouble, she whispered something in Seattle's ear, and then carried the little guy to the spacious dining table, and said with a smile, "Go ahead."

The female assistant looked at her daughter lying on the table and said helplessly, "Jenny, don't make trouble, I can't feed the two children."

Janet smiled slyly, and gently pushed the obviously hesitant little girl again. The child's beautiful eyes glanced at both sides of the table, and then crawled towards Veronica.

Seeing her aunt's face turn from surprise to ruddy, Janet laughed out of schadenfreude and patted the table lightly.

Now that it has been revealed, Simon's life experience is no longer hidden from the female assistant. Seeing her daughter walking towards Veronica, worried that she will be embarrassed, the female assistant wants to hold the child first, but there is still a cry in her arms. The little one who was so hungry couldn't get up for a while.

Fortunately, before Seattle arrived at the "destination", Simon stood up and grabbed his daughter and handed it to Janet, who was overjoyed.

Janet took the child, but did not encourage her to go to Veronica's side. She hugged the little girl with a smile and complimented her, "Searle is so smart, but I really don't have it today. Mom will feed you tomorrow."

The female assistant noticed the slightly weird atmosphere in the restaurant, and took the initiative to find a more formal topic, and asked Simon, "Hillary is coming to our house at noon, are you really not going to come forward in person?"

Hillary, of course Hillary Clinton.

The president's wife is here to act as a lobbyist this time, for the Hearst Group.

Washington may be indifferent to the Hearst Group, which is now being pushed by the crowd, but it is impossible to ignore the more than 20,000 employees of the Hearst Group and the trade union forces behind them. After all, these all mean votes. Last Friday, several major print media unions jointly submitted a petition to the White House asking to intervene in the chaos of the Hearst Group. After a brief communication between the White House and the Los Angeles side, Clinton sent Hillary Clinton to come here today to make a statement.

Simon never let go of the Hearst family's plans.

Regarding the settlement conditions of the $1, Simon was on the one hand to take away any capital that might allow the Hearst family to recover, and on the other hand, to prevent the Hearst family from having no choice but to lose both.

People are always like this, as long as there is some hope, or if they think they have room to turn around, they often won't go to extremes.

The hesitation of the Hearst family after Simon's bid was completely within his expectations.

Seeing the female assistant asking, Simon also knew what she was thinking, and he echoed: "Since it is the president's wife who is here, it is just for you to entertain, so I will not join in the fun."

Both are smart people in the White House.

If Simon doesn't come forward in person, the other party should understand his mind and won't be entangled any more.

The relationship between the Westeros system and the Clintons is far from reaching the level of mutual advancement and retreat. Given everyone's respective positions, it is impossible to be close to that level. The two sides are basically in a relationship that benefits both parties. With 100% full support for Clinton, the White House will not be 100% compliant with the Westeros system.

Of course, both sides are also aware of their respective importance. Even if it is impossible to fully advance and retreat together, no one will easily give up such a powerful ally.

Since the Doris Fitch murder case came to light, it was impossible for the current Hearst Group to get out easily.

Simon's attitude was really the key to the whole thing.

The one-sided crusade triggered by the murder of Doris Fitch is time-sensitive after all, just like the wiretapping scandal at News Corp. in Simon's memory. the strongest

One of the media family. If there was no interference from the Westeros system, the Hearst Group would have ended in the same way in this turmoil. After all, the other party instigated the assassination of the president and caused public anger, and the result was only to close a newspaper.

The current situation is that on the basis of the Doris Fitch murder case, the Hearst Group is also facing a comprehensive ban and lawsuit bombing of the Westeros system. The combination of the two is the most deadly. The murders alone acted as a catalyst, accelerating the collapse of the Hearst Group.

If Simon can give up the comprehensive ban on the Hearst Group and agree to the quick settlement of those huge claims and lawsuits, the Hearst Group can breathe a sigh of relief, and it will be much easier to deal with a series of turmoil caused by the murder case.

From the beginning of March to the present, the Westeros system has actually been tossed for more than two months, all of which stemmed from the Hearst family’s secret manipulation to expose the London girl incident, and the Hearst Group’s decision to Simon after the two sides tore their faces. 's rampant undercover attack.

Just because the current Westeros system is strong enough, and the gossips exposed by the Hearst Group are far from the bad nature of the murder case, this has not caused too serious and substantial impact on the Westeros system.

However, Simon is still struggling for the past two months.

Many schedules originally planned had to be cancelled.

Australia's "Suicide Squad" was completed in April. As usual, Simon usually follows up on the DC Cinematic Universe project in person for at least a week, but this time he didn't have time to go to Australia at all.

The profound entanglements that have grown from the initial small discord to the present all stem from the endless entanglement of the Hearst family.

Under the circumstance that he has an absolute advantage, if Simon wants to take the initiative to let the other party go, he will not be able to forgive himself.

This time, even if the Hearst family with profound background cannot be reduced to a pauper at once, Simon wants to remove the Hearst family from the media industry completely, losing the huge media empire that supports its hidden power. Some family assets can still be retained, and they will completely lose their former influence in this country.

Wealth and power have always been mutually reinforcing.

Without power, it will only be easier to continue to deprive a family of the remaining wealth.

Something Simon said to Lydia Hearst seemingly unintentionally when he entertained the Hearst mother and daughter last week was no joke at all.

After breakfast, Veronica departs for New York, and Janet would have passed. Black Rock Asset Management's acquisition of State Street's asset management division is at a critical juncture. Because of the visit of the president's wife, the woman postponed her trip until tomorrow. After all, it is impossible to only entertain the female assistant with the wrong name. Simon doesn't care, but it will inevitably make Hillary feel contemptuous and offended.

Simon rushed to Daenerys Studios to start a day's work.

In order to avoid the edge of the super blockbuster "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" on June 3, last Friday, the summer of 1994 officially opened.

On May 13, a total of three new films were released in North American theaters. They were Daenerys Entertainment's "Stargate" directed by Michael Bay, and Columbia Pictures produced the famous black director Spike Lee's new film "Racial Love". " and Disney's "When a Man Loves a Woman," starring Meg Ryan.

One of the most talked about is undoubtedly "Stargate".

Since being announced as the director of "Jurassic Park 2" in early April and being picked up to direct the first Victoria's Secret show, Michael Bay's film Virgo has become the focus of many media discussions.

After several internal test screenings to roughly confirm the film's reputation, Daenerys Entertainment also decisively invested a $20 million publicity budget.

Including the production cost of the film of 30 million US dollars, the total investment of "Stargate" has reached 50 million US dollars, which is already a blockbuster level.

The new "Stargate" is indeed better than the original.

Michael Bay made full use of the action-adventure style he was good at later within the budget, and the plot was no longer procrastinated, and it was done in one go.

The film also no longer focuses on creating the bizarre alien image of Jay Davidson, who is neither male nor female, but simply tells a high-concept story in which humans lead alien natives to fight against evil aliens and gain freedom.

Although it is a high-concept movie in its core, the operation of the wormhole theory in the movie is still very novel in the Hollywood sci-fi movie genre, which has become a selling point of the movie.

In terms of casting, whether it is James Spader, whose style is more suitable for literary films, or Jay Davidson, who became famous with "The Crying Game", Simon has not used it again. The casting basically follows the routine of American commercial films. The righteous protagonist, A playful male partner, plus a seductive vase.

In the previous "Stargate", the heroine was a little-known newcomer, but this time Simon personally appointed Catherine Zeta-Jones, a famous Hollywood stunner, who has unknowingly accumulated a lot of fame in recent years. The slightly darker skin tone of the British actress fits perfectly with the style of the alien native girl in the film.

After opening on Friday with 2,296 screens, Stargate received a final media score of 8.2.

The media and the public have been observing Michael Bay with a magnifying glass since the official announcement of the "Jurassic Park 2" project, so it is inevitable that it will be a bit harsh. In this case, "Stargate" can also get an excellent media score of 8.2 points, and Michael Bay's first feature film is equal to a perfect answer.

The film's box office was even more satisfying.

The first weekend from May 13th to May 15th,

The box office of "Stargate" was as high as 25.63 million US dollars in three days, and it took only three days to achieve a sales level of over 10,000 in the hall. Such box-office results far exceed the other two blockbuster films "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and "The Detective Plane" that Daenerys Entertainment has released in 1994, and it is almost a certainty that the box office will break 100 million.

As long as the local box office exceeds 100 million, "Stargate" will be able to recover its full cost by relying only on North American theater distribution, and subsequent channels will directly enter the profit cycle.

On the other hand, as of May 12, "Four Weddings and a Funeral", which had been released for 13 weeks, had a cumulative box office of 104.55 million US dollars, becoming the first domestic box office of Daenerys Entertainment in 1994 to exceed 100 million. Movie.

This past weekend, "Four Weddings and a Funeral" took in another $680,000, bringing the total to $105.23 million, and is expected to gross around $1 million for the week.

This romantic comedy with a literary nature has still maintained a screening scale of 563 screens. Although the box office in a single week is about to fall within 1 million US dollars, with the film's strong reputation and long-term trend, it is not a problem to continue to make 5 million US dollars. , the final domestic box office will reach about 110 million US dollars.

Not only that, the overseas box office of "Four Weddings and a Funeral" is even better. As of last week, the cumulative overseas box office of this film has reached 153 million US dollars, and it is expected to exceed the 200 million US dollars mark, and the global box office may reach 300 million. Dollar.

With a production cost of $5 million and a box office return of $300 million, "Four Weddings and a Funeral" almost locked in the highest-grossing film of 1994.

Another Jim Carrey comedy, "Detective Plane", has a cumulative box office of $77.26 million in five weeks of release as of May 12.

However, in the past weekend, hit by three new films including "Stargate", the box office of "Detective Plane" fell by 31%, and it only collected 4.13 million US dollars in three days. It is expected that the box office will be around 6 million for the whole week.

With the official opening of the summer program, due to the vulgar comedy theme of its own popcorn nature, "The Detective Plane" will definitely continue to deepen its box office decline in the face of pressure from new films. For a blockbuster comedy, it is not a big problem for the total domestic box office to exceed 90 million US dollars, but the possibility of breaking through 100 million is already very small.

Moreover, because of the vulgar comedy style that focuses too much on local American culture, the overseas box office of "Detective Plane" is not very good. As of last week, only 33 million US dollars were accumulated at the box office, and the total overseas box office is expected to be about 50 million US dollars.

The total global box office forecast of 140 million US dollars, compared to the total investment of 25 million US dollars in the film, is of course a big profit, but Simon knows that Jim Carrey's box office appeal has not been fully stimulated, and he can only look forward to the end of the year. Box office performance.

As for the fact that the mainland cannot break through 100 million, Simon is actually not a pity.

The total box office of more than 90 million US dollars and the entry into the 100 million yuan club are more of a symbolic meaning, and more meaningful to actors, especially those who have just become popular like Jim Carrey.

Moreover, because of Jim Carrey's restless style of trying to revise the original contract immediately after his sudden rise to fame, it is just right that the box office of "Detective Plane" stopped by more than 90 million US dollars. Simon is not a stingy person. If Jim Carrian is safe, he will definitely give the other party a big red envelope after the consecutive sales of "The Detective Plane" and "The Geek in Disguise".

Now, the comedian is just getting famous, and it's a shame that Simon will just give nothing.

The "Greek in Disguise", which was produced back-to-back with "The Detective Plane", has been completed. If Jim Carrey continues to be ignorant, Simon doesn't mind refrigerating the other party for a few years. While several other Hollywood studios may be willing to accommodate a star who can bring in a blockbuster movie, Daenerys Entertainment has too many good projects to develop, and no one is indispensable.
