Chapter 338

The southern hemisphere city of Melbourne has been in the spotlight since last year's filming of Batman: the moment of war.

Simon and Janet's wedding makes Melbourne the focus of the world.

After all, no matter how much heckling and questioning the media is full of, Simon has become the first super rich person in the United States.

The Melbourne municipal government also understands what this wedding can mean for the city. Besides the world-class popularity, the top guest lineup from all over the world will definitely benefit Melbourne if it can attract good guests.

As a result, not only the Johnston family, but the whole city was mobilized for the wedding. In the area of public security alone, the city government temporarily mobilized a large number of police forces from all parts of Victoria.

In addition to the wedding schedule, the Melbourne city government also took the opportunity to arrange a series of business exchange activities in order to promote Australia's industrial preferential policies to Hollywood, Wall Street and European investors.

Of course, these must be after the wedding.

The day before the wedding, Janet flew to Bali with a group of close friends for a whole day and returned late at night.

On the last day before Simon's wedding, he was busy entertaining the coming guests.

In essence, Simon has always been a very nostalgic person. Therefore, after his rebirth, along the way, Dr. Chapman of Watsonville, the hotel owner of Santa Monica, Jonathan of wma, the three nominal producers in the production process of Lola Run, and so on, all those who helped him received the invitation this time.

In addition, colleagues at work, business partners, family and friends of the johnstons, and so on, together, the total number of guests at the wedding exceeded 800.

This is actually why the wedding is held in the Yarra Valley Park in the open air.

March 3, Saturday.

From the early morning, the whole city of Melbourne is in a festive atmosphere.

Simon was worried about the weather a few days ago, and the weather was very nice. It was a very sunny day.

The wedding was held at five o'clock this afternoon, but a few days ago, a large number of media reporters from all over the world were stationed outside the strictly closed Yarra Valley Park.

Although unable to enter the wedding scene, the photos of the guests at the entrance of the park are big enough.

Therefore, with the wedding time approaching, the flash outside Yala Valley Park has not stopped. Although some guests want to keep a low profile, most of them don't mind showing their face in front of the media.

Yarra Valley Park is already a sea of flowers, like a dream.

The park is divided into several different areas by walls erected directly with flowers. Wedding ceremony and evening wedding banquet will be held in the park.

In a tent in the park, Simon had already changed his clothes and was chatting with four or five brothers of Johnston's family, kenu Reeves and Adam Baldwin. Suddenly, Sandra Bullock came in from the outside.

After greeting everyone, Sandra looked at Simon with great interest.

Less than five minutes before the wedding, several other people took the initiative to leave the tent, and the staff around them also walked out with a smile.

Simon also looked at Sandra, who was wearing a flaming red dress today, and asked, "did you have a good time yesterday?"

Although they haven't dealt with each other, Janet invited Sandra to her bachelor party yesterday.

"How can I be happy if I'm still fooled by Jennie?" Sandra added angrily, with her hands behind her, tiptoed. "I didn't even get a bridesmaid."

Simon said with a smile: "yes, I can't let you be a bridesmaid. In case of robbing the bridegroom at the wedding, it will be very busy."

Sandra gave Simon a disdainful look: "the devil wants to rob you."

Simon showed an injured expression: "it's really sad that you say that."

As they were talking, a staff member leaned in from the entrance of the tent and warned, "Mr. westero, time is almost up."

Simon nodded to each other, looked back at Sandra, opened his arm, and said, "come on, give me a blessing hug."

Sandra, reluctantly, hugged Simon and finally said, "you're only 22 years old. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"The sooner you meet the right person, of course, the better," Simon said. He went out and asked Sandra to follow him. "Have you met a guy on a white donkey lately?"

Sandra followed Simon and said, "you're going to meet the guy on the white donkey."

"I know you can't meet her, so I'd better try to find a princess. The blooming lily is the most beautiful."

"Ah, Pooh."

Sandra spat at Simon, walking in the corridor surrounded by flowers, inexplicably remembering when he rode through the streets of Los Angeles.At the beginning, I was moved, but I didn't grasp it tightly.

Now, many memories are destined to be buried in my heart.

Thinking about this, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled the sleeve of the man beside him: "Hello, Simon, will we be friends in the future?"

Simon stopped, felt the hope in Sandra's eyes, and solemnly said, "of course, the best one."

I really want to hold him again, but at this time, the flower corridor is full of shuttle staff, so I have to give up the idea. In any case, although she had some crazy ideas in her heart, such as yelling the wedding as in the movie plot, she would never really put them into action

Simon didn't have any scruples. He hugged Sandra again and gave her a kiss on the forehead.

So, all of a sudden, I was satisfied.

As she reached out and gently pushed away the man, Sandra stepped back and said, "I'm in."

Simon stands at the exit of the flower corridor, watching Sandra enter the wedding venue and sit down on a bench.

After waiting for a moment, the priest, the best man, the bridesmaid and the ring child enter the flower shed in front of the guest table in turn. Simon, reminded by the staff, also enters the venue to wait for the bride.

Grand wedding march.

As hundreds of standing guests watched, Janet took Raymond Johnston's arm and walked out of the aisle wearing a white wedding dress more gorgeous than any princess.

Amid applause, the bride enters the shed and Raymond Johnston solemnly hands Janet to Simon.

Even though she has known each other for a long time, Simon has to admit that the woman in the wedding dress is indeed the most beautiful moment in her life. Staring at by Simon, although through the gauze, Janet's face still showed a faint blush, but her talking eyes didn't escape and looked at the man in front of her.

Stand still and the music stops.

After the minister's solemn speech, the most critical moment came.

"Bridegroom, are you willing to marry the woman in front of you? No matter rich or poor, health or illness, happiness or sorrow, prosperity or adversity, protect her, cherish her, and regard her as your eternal treasure for the rest of your life? "

Simon and Janet still look at each other, feeling the deep expectation in the woman's eyes. Without hesitation, he says, "I do!"

"Bride, will you marry the man in front of you? No matter rich or poor, health or illness, happiness or sorrow, prosperity or adversity, respect him, accompany him, and regard him as your eternal guardian for the rest of your life? "

Janet's eyes were full of light, and there was no hesitation. She whispered, "I do!"

"Then, bridegroom and bride, please exchange rings."

Simon holds Janet's white gloved left hand and puts a wedding ring on the woman's ring finger. Later, Janet also puts a ring on Simon.

The priest smiles and waits for two people to exchange the ring, and says in a loud voice: "groom, you can kiss your bride now."

Simon came forward and hugged the woman in front of him.

There were also warm applause.

At the end of the ceremony, the guests began to turn to the wedding banquet venue. Simon and Janet went to the lawn next door to take wedding photos. After the woman said "I do", she never spoke again and nestled up to Simon happily like a kitten.

After more than half an hour's work, the wedding photos were taken. Janet went to the tent next door to replace the gorgeous wedding dress with a few meters long tail.

Simon waited patiently for a while. The woman came out of the tent wearing another relatively simple wedding dress, and naturally put her arm on Simon again, as if everything around him no longer existed.

Two people came to the wedding banquet venue, guest speech, the first dance, seven o'clock, the dinner began.

So until 8:30 in the evening, throw away the flowers, in the sound of laughter and blessing, Simon and Janet leave Yarra Valley Park together.

The group of reporters who had been crouching outside the park finally caught a glimpse of their photos.

In the days that followed, news coverage of the wedding was still overwhelming, while Simon and Janet entered a state of indifference.

After spending the night in their nest outside Melbourne, they boarded early the next morning and flew to Europe to start their honeymoon.

The first stop was Barcelona, Spain.

Because they didn't want to be disturbed, they only had a few attendants around them this time. After arriving in Europe, the conspicuous Boeing 767 was replaced by Gucci's Falcon business plane.

Enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Mediterranean, they went to Casablanca, Morocco, which borders Spain.

Janet clearly remembers Simon's joke about the movie Casablanca.

However, this did not stop them from loving this famous North African city.

Along the warm Mediterranean coast, Barcelona and Casablanca are followed by Cannes in France, Rome in Italy, Athens in Greece, and finally Johnston's Island on the Aegean Sea.In such a trip, March passes quietly.

The operation of the earth never changes for anyone. During the month when Simon and Janet disappeared from public view, a lot of things continued.

Hollywood, the 62nd Academy Awards ceremony was held on March 26.

Driving for Miss Daisy, produced by danelis Entertainment's gaomen film company, has become the biggest winner of this year's Oscars. The film has won five awards, including the most important best picture and best director, relying on nine nominations. The number of golden people is one more than the original.

Influenced by the Oscar Awards, the box office of "driving for Miss Daisy" fell by 45% again in the week of the Oscars ceremony, earning $6.04 million. In the 16th week of its release, the film, which had been quietly drawing for more than a month, had unconsciously accumulated $76.88 million at the box office.

"My left foot", also produced by gaomen film company, also won best actor and best supporting actress.

Since the release of my left foot, the cumulative box office has exceeded 11 million US dollars. Taking advantage of the popularity brought by the Oscars, the production cost of this niche biography film is only 1.8 million US dollars. In the future, the total box office in North America is very promising to reach about 15 million US dollars.

In the second week after Simon and Janet's wedding, that is, from March 9 to March 15, Batman: time for war officially broke through the $400 million mark in the 12th week, becoming the first film in North America to break through the $400 million box office in the first round.

In addition to last year's several old films, Danielle Reese Entertainment's Valentine's day release of "pretty girl" this year, as of the Oscar ceremony week, the total box office of seven weeks has rapidly exceeded 130 million US dollars. Although the box office of one week has fallen to less than 6 million US dollars, with the arrival of next month's Easter schedule, the industry predicts that this film will unexpectedly win the audience's recognition The total box office of Hollywood fairy tale love movies in North America alone may reach 170 million to 180 million US dollars.

If it is a few years ago, the total box office scale expected by "pretty girl" in North America is almost the level of the annual box office champion.

Meanwhile, the film's two stars, Julia Roberts and Pierce Brosnan, have both become Hollywood's top stars.

When people began to list, from the beginning of "Lola Run", relying on his own directing, personal script and a series of films produced by the company, Simon westero, in just a few years, has become popular with a large number of new generation Hollywood stars, such as Sandra Bullock, kenu Reeves, Adam Baldwin, Valerie Gallino, and Robert Denis Luo, John Travolta and many other old stars are rejuvenated.

Such a powerful star making ability, even in the era of Hollywood blockbusters, is far inferior.

Therefore, as DC movie universe begins to choose actors, even if the selection conditions are more stringent and the contract is more stringent this time, countless Hollywood actors who are looking forward to becoming famous are desperate to rush on.

On Wall Street,

before the wedding, Janet, who has been busy for more than a month, has completed the construction of cersei capital operation team, and the three subsidiaries have been on the right track one after another during their departure.

As predicted, in March, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other countries in the Middle East announced that they would significantly increase crude oil production, and international oil prices fell accordingly.

Because of Saddam Hussein's speech at the meeting of member states of the Arab Cooperation Committee more than a month ago, many hedge funds are betting that the international oil price will be greatly increased. Cersei capital has unconsciously established various types of short oil futures contracts with a total value of more than 10 billion US dollars in London, New York and other crude oil futures markets with a 10 times bar.

In this process, cersei capital tried its best to keep it secret, but secretly followed up a lot.

Therefore, many people in the industry can feel the obvious shock of the crude oil futures market during this period due to the hedging of different views of capital.

Apollo management's team easily raised the first billion dollars and started the planned vulture investment operation.

After the capital scale of black rock asset management company increased to 6 billion US dollars, it easily promoted to the ranks of first-line players on Wall Street.

On the other hand, the media storm caused by the digital exposure of Simon's personal assets before his wedding also gradually subsided in this month.

It's impossible to earn billions of dollars in capital in this world by deviant means. In addition, most of it is obtained from overseas markets. The media of all parties and some forces of the federal government have been agitated for a while. Seeing no actual effect, they have to stop.

Ordinary people's adaptability and forgetfulness are always strong.

After the bombardment of intensive media information, most people have gradually become accustomed to Simon westero's identity as the first 10 billion rich man in North America.

In fact, many people are proud of it.

You know, in recent years, because of the rise of Japan, the top positions on the Forbes rich list have been occupied by the Japanese, which to a large extent has also hit the self-confidence of many Westerners. Now, Simon westero, whose personal assets have exceeded $10 billion, has undoubtedly become the most powerful candidate for the position of the world's richest man.
