Chapter 1612

"You really scared a lot of people in Africa. On the Italian side, Antonio Danieli sent one of his mistresses to visit me last week."

"Who?"

"Antonio Danieli, the glorious society, the puppet you raised in the south, have you forgotten?"

"No, I mean, why a mistress?"

"Oh, isn't it reasonable for a mistress to visit a mistress?"

Geneva, Switzerland.

In a mansion on the East Bank of Lake Geneva, Simon sat on the sofa next to the terrace overlooking the lake on the second floor, while Sophia Fauci lay on her side, her head resting on the man's thigh, talking about the recent trivia.

Listening to the woman's tone, Simon smiled and stroked her smooth face that still didn't show any wrinkles: "is this self pity?"

Sophia looked up at the man and pressed the big hand touching her face. "Yes, will you pity me?"

"Of course, but I pity women in a special way. Are you sure you can stand it?"

Sophia heard that she didn't blush like the little girl. She just turned her head and rubbed gently on the man. Instead of continuing this ambiguous little question, she continued: "so, you scared the gangs you raised. What are you going to do?"

"It's simple, it's shock," Simon said, joking. "You know, I'm flying to France soon. The French have been unkind to me and need to beat them in advance."

Up to now, Sophia knows that men have kept a lot of secrets from them, not just her, even Janet. Therefore, the man didn't explain in detail, so she stopped questioning and said, "on the Ukrainian side, I have prepared a plane for you. What are you going to do? Can I know?"

Simon did not hide this time and said, "go quietly to meet the new president of Russia."

Sophia had guessed, and it was clear at this time. Moreover, as one of the closest women around a man, she also knew more. After thinking about it, she said, "I still think it's not a person who can be controlled."

Simon said, "why do you think I want to control each other?"

"Well, what are you going to do?"

Simon thought and gave a deep-sea stem again: "make Russia great again."

Sofia was not surprised. Of course, it will not react to the man's stem. It just said: "a series of actions of the Federation last year, the Kosovo war, the eastward expansion of NATO and the sharp decline in crude oil prices, in fact, have not caused substantive damage to the issuance of the euro. I don't think the effect will be too great."

When women think of the euro, Simon doesn't have to think about the reason, and that's one of the reasons, So he nodded: "indeed, dealing with the euro is a doomed long-term strategy. I talked to Soros a few days ago. In short, it will not make the euro develop too smoothly. Well, speaking of this, as a Frenchman, do you just watch me deal with the EU?"

Sophia just pressed the man's big hand again: "I'm an American woman now, my children are all Americans, and I'm Swiss."

Simon did not tease, but nodded approvingly, "that's good."

Sophia wondered, "why do you think so?"

Simon said, "the film we saw together last night, the beautiful legend of Sicily."

"Huh?"

"Malena's experience after the war," Simon said, "France is the same. Therefore, I look down on French men. When the war broke out, they surrendered immediately. When the war ended, they would only vent their anger on their women."

Sophia pondered a little and said, "it seems so."

So snuggle up and relax until the sunset, Carmen case appeared and whispered, "boss, it's five o'clock."

Simon answered and asked the woman in his arms, "really not together?"

"No, I'm going to fly to Hong Kong later," Sophia said with a smile and shaking her head. "What's more, your properties in Cannes are all goblins now. I can't compete with them."

Simon smiled, "wrong, you know my preference, but you have an advantage."

Sophia had got up and straightened the black bottomed shirt that had just been messed up by the man. She said with white eyes, "you like to see women crazy for you. Just let those goblins perform. I don't cooperate."

Then he leaned over.

Simon kissed the woman and they left the terrace together.

He went downstairs and said goodbye again. Simon left the lakeside mansion and rushed to the airport to Cannes.

The time is already May 20.

Saturday.

The North American summer program of 2000 officially opened yesterday. Danilis entertainment will release at least one new film every week after this summer program. This time, it starts with the sequel of the jetty Lee version of Hurricane rescue, hurricane Rescue 2.

Compared with Jack Cheng's funny kung fu, this series adopts the brother film mode similar to the peak time, but also establishes its own hardline Kung Fu style. The premiere held two days in advance. Although the media feedback is not as enthusiastic as the first 8.1, it is also quite recognized. The comprehensive media score of 7.3 is not bad for a popcorn film.

In addition, compared with the total investment of 40 million in the first film, this time, the production cost reached 40 million US dollars. With 20 million publicity and distribution, the total investment was 60 million US dollars and 3245 screens were opened.

The expectation of the new world film team for the film is that the local box office can exceed 100 million. After all, the first film has exceeded 80 million. Coupled with the current Kung Fu fever and series bonus in Hollywood, as well as the improvement of the production specifications of the film itself, if there is no progress in the sequel market feedback, the third film will have to be considered.

Simon boarded the plane from Geneva to Cannes and happened to receive an email from North America about the box office data on the first day of Hurricane Rescue 2. On the first day of the painting, the film received 10.46 million. It is expected to harvest 30 million in the three days of the weekend. It is not a problem. It should be around 45 million dollars in the seven days of the first week.

The relevant data are more than the first one.

Obviously, as long as the subsequent decline is not too fierce, breaking 100 million can be expected, which can be regarded as a good start in the summer of 2000.

From Geneva, Switzerland to Cannes, France, the straight-line distance is only 300 kilometers. Simon just checked some work emails, and the private Boeing 767 has begun to land in the twinkling of an eye.

Naturally, I came to Cannes for the Cannes Film Festival.

The 53rd Cannes Film Festival in 2000 opened on May 14, that is, last Sunday, and is expected to last 12 days.

Simon thinks there's something wrong with this date. It's better to postpone it or advance it, spanning two weekends. However, the French brain circuit, who knows what to think, he doesn't bother to pay attention, just come and join the fun.
