Chapter 1708

On Saturday morning, around eight o'clock, to bid farewell to the two Jennys and Little Seattle, Simon boarded the Boeing 767 that he was going to the East Coast.

Someone is waiting in advance.

Simon's casting director Linda Vargas, ICM's women president Nancy Josephson and Angelina Jolie.

After saying hello, she motioned the maid to take Julie to the middle cabin to wait, and Simon and the other two came to the front cabin living room.

Everyone took their seats on the sofa, Simon picked up a drug test report prepared by Girl A in advance, opened it again, and said to Nancy Josephson: "I have read Julie's information in advance, and I think it can be saved. I call you here. chat."

Although the daughter of the original major shareholder has gradually moved to the position of the head of ICM, one of the three major brokerage companies, Nancy Josephson is only respectful in front of Simon, and bows slightly after hearing the words: "Mr. Westeros, can you It's an honor to give Julie a chance."

Simon nodded and glanced at the information in his hand again.

Speaking of which, Jolie collaborated with Daenerys three years ago on "Soul Shifting Girl", and Simon himself made the decision, mainly to support Mia Kirschner.

Mia Kirschner's performance is indeed much better than the original Winona Ryder, and the strong confrontation with Jolie, let them share the 1997 Cannes Film Festival Best Actress Award , Jolie also won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in the follow-up, Mia Koshina lacked some background and only won the heroine nomination.

The "Soul Shifting Girl" also won a good result of over 100 million at the global box office. For a literary film, it has exceeded 100 million globally, which is already quite good.

However, because there is only a one-time sale of the sequel, Simon does not pay attention to Jolie's behind-the-scenes.

In the past, "Soul Shifting Girl" can be described as a turning point in Jolie's acting career. With the aura of Oscar supporting actress at that time, it quickly became a variety of mainstream commercial blockbusters, and relying on later "Tomb Raider" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" to the top.

This time, it was because of Simon, the big butterfly. One of them was that someone didn't like girls with thick lips. It was better. In short, although she also won the Oscar and Cannes recognition for "Soul Shifting Girl", but In recent years, Jolie is still mainly involved in non-mainstream circles such as literary films and low-cost commercial films.

Maybe it's because of the unsatisfactory career, or more likely because of personal character, and private life is even more rubbish. Brothers and sisters are in love with rumors, and they don't talk about chopping with their boyfriends. Another drug addiction is a big problem in Hollywood.

The western entertainment industry does not have such strict moral standards. Drugs or something will not directly terminate the acting career of stars, such as Johnny Depp, who used to perform in the street.

The premise is that your coffee position must be high enough.

Otherwise, if you are just a small character, the studio will have to consider the risks. After all, large projects costing tens of millions of dollars, if the actors are unable to work because of drugs, they may lose tens of millions of dollars a day. , If the actors completely stumbled during the shooting and changed roles halfway through, it would be even more of a disaster.

Angelina Jolie, right now, is a level far short of making studios ignore the risks.

Fortunately, Simon has personally seen the actress's drug test report, and it does not involve the most dangerous ones, and the addiction is not so great, which is within the controllable range.

Turning over the information in his hand to simply sort out his thoughts, Simon looked up again and said to Nancy Josephson: "If Julie wants to get this contract, you need to do two things."

Nancy Josephson said immediately: "Think about it, Mr. Westeros, and, um... I promise to supervise her myself."

Angelina Jolie's character is naive, paranoid, or a little crazy, but it's definitely not an unworldly fireworks. She is also a second-generation star like Robert Downey Jr., and has the same mind to climb in Hollywood. .

In fact, regardless of her private life, she only talks about Jolie's career line. This is also a 'model worker' who can participate in five or six movies every year at her peak.

Simon felt a certain urgency in Nancy's tone, and probably understood that not only Julie wanted this role, but ICM was also looking forward to cultivating a new generation of big actresses, nodded slightly, and then said: "First , After signing the contract, we will designate a personal assistant for Julie to supervise her private life 24 hours a day. At the same time, Julie will undergo a drug test arranged by Daenerys once a week."

"no problem."

Nancy Josephson agreed without even thinking about it, but when the words came out, her expression became a little weird again.

Because I suddenly remembered that this young tycoon in front of him likes to have 'personal assistants' for his lovers. Everyone chats quietly in private, and I have to admit that this is comparable to the way Howard Hughes sent someone to monitor his vase. They have to be too shrewd, because Hughes' approach is just to let his monitoring team all sorts of 'bootlegs' and don't know how many cuckolds are given to him.

Now……

Seriously, Nancy Josephson would only be very happy if the mogul was interested in Julie.

Of course Simon didn't have such thoughts. Even if he recognized Julie's identity as an actor, this girl was still not his type.

Ignoring Nancy Josephson's strange expression of anticipation, Simon continued: "Second thing, I want you to arrange for Julie to participate in some charity activities in Southeast Asia, and the poorest are still in a state of war. Some areas of the area, um, I will arrange specific activities later. Also, after the charity event is over, arrange for Julie to adopt a child."

When Simon said these words, both Nancy and Linda looked puzzled.

The first request is very reasonable and legitimate, but what is this situation?

Simon felt their puzzlement, thought for a moment, and said, "According to the information I have seen about Julie, I think she is a very innocent girl who lacks sustenance in her heart, so participating in charity activities can not only magnify her pure kindness On the one hand, it suppresses the extremes of Julie's character, and at the same time, adopting a child can give Julie's heart a sustenance. In simple terms, you can understand that if she has something to do, she has no energy to mess with others. Messy stuff."

Putting the blood of yourself and her boyfriend in a bottle and hanging it on your chest, swearing loyalty to love, and thinking that it will last forever, isn't this naive?

When he married Pitt, he didn't want to sign a prenuptial agreement, and thought it was a blasphemy to his love to care too much about money. Is this not naive and what is it?

In addition, a major change in Jolie's life trajectory is that she saw poverty and suffering in Southeast Asia with her own eyes during the filming of "Tomb Raider". Since then, she has devoted herself to charity and adopted a large group of orphans. Moreover, it can be seen from a lot of media information that has been exposed since then that Julie is also really adopted. For example, the kind that is treated as if it is her own, it is not a show-style adoption by many Hollywood stars, and even worse. Abandoned immediately after having their own children.

As for Julie's later complaining about the 'they lost everything but gained freedom' incident, there's no way, anything is attached to politics, and it can't be cleaned if you want to.

Nancy Josephson heard Simon's explanation. Although he hesitated whether it would really work, he nodded quickly: "No problem."

After a pause, he added: "Mr. Westeros, if my news is correct, "Fast and the Furious" will start in January next year, only two months away from now, Julie will definitely take time to prepare , you know, it's a racing show. Plus, doing charity..."

Simon interrupted at the right time: "Two months is enough, Jolie can participate in activities in Southeast Asia while preparing for the new play. Regarding charity projects, I know what you mean, doing charity costs costs, but this time, Jolie You only need to come forward, and you don't need to worry about all other expenses."

The focus of the Westeros system’s Asian layout has just shifted to Southeast Asia. In addition to various investments at the commercial level, non-commercial fields, such as philanthropy, must also be done. The planned investment is also in the hundreds of millions each year.

After all, most of the shells of NGOs are charitable organizations.

Anyone who understands the joints knows how useful the 'unofficial' card is, and Simon has always attached great importance to it.

Therefore, regarding this trivial matter, Simon only needs to send an email to Shen and the others, and they can organize a project in a short time, such as medical assistance, children's education assistance, water purification projects, etc., and so on.

All Julie has to do is to be a star.

After all, although it is not a first-line celebrity in Hollywood, the halo of Best Actress in Cannes and Best Supporting Actress in Oscar is still very dazzling in Asia.

Then feel the spiritual shock and complete the transformation.

Simon said that, and Nancy Josephson was completely fine.

Simon didn't intend to keep them any longer, and he had to rush to the east coast as soon as possible.

The two women also got up together, but Nancy was obviously a little hesitant, and Linda Vargas, who was next to her, took the initiative to help her ask the question with a smile: "Boss, Julie's personal assistant, is Do you arrange it yourself, or do I arrange it?"

Simon was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "You arrange it."

Linda nodded.

Nancy was obviously disappointed. She walked out of the front door, but still couldn't hold back, and said, "Mr. Westeros, do you want Julie to stay? I mean, you can chat with her during the flight. , not boring."

Simon smiled and said: "I have a bunch of work emails to deal with during the flight, as well as a video conference, and I also have to review the script of "The Fast and the Furious". After all, there may not be enough time until I get off the plane, not at all. would be boring."

Nancy heard what Simon said, but she remembered the recent election. Thinking that this young tycoon is bound to be in a hurry these days, he didn't bother anymore, but just smiled and said, "You are really busy, so you should pay attention to rest."

Simon nodded: "I will, thank you."
