Chapter 449

Unable to sort out the many problems involved in surrogacy, Simon shook his head and dismissed Janet.

The thoughts in my heart, the things in the future, I'll talk about them in the future.

Early the next morning, domay point manor began to prepare for the baby party at noon.

Simon was sent by Jennie to meet Johnston's family at the airport at ten o'clock in the morning. At noon, there was a lot of noise. Then, in the afternoon, Simon was driven out by Janet.

Including all the men at the party.

The reason is that afternoon is best friend time.

Of course, knowing Janet's mind, women don't forbid him to contact with other members of the opposite sex except one person.

After taking Patrick Johnston for half a turn in danielis studios, Simon drove him to play around. He didn't have the heart to accompany the children.

She idly spends the afternoon in the office. When she gets home in the evening, Janet is sitting on her knees on the carpet in a living room of the villa, sorting out the presents sent by the guests today. Surrounded by a lot of gift boxes, she is in a good mood.

Simon also sat down on the carpet, helped to open the gift box, and chatted with Janet casually.

I picked up a beautiful cartoon style music box, looked at it for a moment and complained that Sandra would not choose gifts. Janet suddenly said, "I discussed something with my aunt this afternoon."

Simon also did not lift his head to untie the tie of a gift box: "hmm?"

Janet said, "my aunt promised to look after the children for us in the future."

Simon pauses, looks up at Janet and says, "how did you get that idea?"

"My aunt can't be single all the time, so I thought, if I let her help me take Moore for a while and feel the feeling of being a mother, maybe she will find a man to marry."

Simon's eyes flashed and he began to play with the gift box as if nothing had happened.

A small hand next to him reached over and poked him in the shoulder.

Seeing that the man didn't respond, he poked again.

Simon turned his head and bit it. Jeanette immediately grinned, retracted her paws and said, "honey, what shall we have for dinner?"

"I'll do it myself later."

"What you're cooking is not delicious at all," Janet said with her lips curled

"Pregnant women's food had better be light, carrot white rice porridge is very good."

"But babies need nutrition."

Simon looked up and down at the woman beside him and said with a smile, "you're over nourished now."

Janet couldn't bear it. She glared at her eyes and said, "you said I'm fat!"

"I didn't say that."

"You just think I'm fat."

"Well, I don't think you're fat."

"Wow..."

Janet leaned over, opened her mouth and took Simon's arm.

Pregnant women are naturally fatter, and Janet has always been a good woman.

However, Janet has a very good foundation. Even though she is pregnant, she has been pregnant for seven months. In fact, it has nothing to do with the word "fat".

Janet grinds her teeth on her arm for a while. Simon sees that she doesn't seem to have any intention of loosening her mouth. He reaches over and grabs a woman's wrist and gently grasps it. It's like triggering a switch. The woman's body suddenly softens, her teeth loosen and she leans on him.

Dumb soft voice sounded: "well, you bully me."

Simon picked up another gift box and began to open it. He said with a smile, "do you like being bullied by me?"

"Well, hum."

"So..."

Janet rubbed her head against Simon's body and suddenly asked softly, "would you be so, um, bullying people?"

"Who else can let me bully like this?"

"Never do that anyway."

"Well, I promise."

Veronica Johnston lives in Janet's original villa on the east side of domay point manor. Patrick Johnston took his girlfriend to the city and obviously won't come back tonight. The dinner is still Simon and Janet.

On Sunday, I continued to accompany Janet for a day, and a new week's work began.

The box office of the first weekend of the Halloween season is also officially released.

After three days of opening, the box office of "scream 3" was $27.11 million at the end of the first weekend. Compared with the opening screen size of $2672, it achieved a sales level of more than $10000 per Museum.

Although the final part is still elaborately made, with a budget of US $30 million, the film's reputation is naturally unsatisfactory after three times of using a routine.

Moreover, although the start is quite good, both the internal and external media of danielis entertainment are not very optimistic about the box office trend of the sequel.

At the same time as scream 3, John Hughes's new film "best Q file" tells the story of a tramp and an orphan girl as a partner. It is still John Hughes's fixed routine, and it obviously follows the style of "kid in charge" which was sold last Christmas.Because of the success of "kid in charge", John Hughes has a higher status in Hollywood. This "best Q" has no big star, but the budget has reached 30 million US dollars.

However, the quality of the film is obviously unsatisfactory, otherwise, this film which is more suitable for the end of the year schedule will not be lost in the relatively second Halloween schedule by Warner.

"Best Q file" did not bring any surprise to Warner after all.

With 1634 open picture screens, only $4.97 million was made in the first three days of the first weekend, and the box office in the first week was only about $6 million. It is estimated that the total box office in North America should be between $20 million and $30 million, at most equivalent to the production budget of the film.

After the success of "home with a kid", John Hughes has produced two similar children's films in a hurry this year. The box office of the summer film "elf" is even worse, with a budget of 17 million US dollars. However, the box office of the hot season in July is only 4.6 million US dollars in North America.

The successive failures of the two children's films have basically exhausted John Hughes's aura of winning by relying on "kid in charge".

John Hughes signed huge profit sharing contracts in these two children's films. Now, both films end up at a loss. Apart from the basic salary, there is no way to share. The filmmaker who has been attracting all kinds of attention has begun to pay more attention to the production of "kid in charge of the house 2".

In my original memory, "home by a kid" is not only the peak of John Hughes, but also the beginning of John Hughes's passing away in the 1990s. Some film techniques have been used for too many years, and the audience has aesthetic fatigue after all.

With the opening of the Halloween schedule, a series of films of the annual schedule have been completely finalized.

For Thanksgiving and Christmas, Denise entertainment, including universal pictures, will launch four films, toy story and horror corner, which are scheduled for November 22 and 29.

The Christmas schedule of "farewell to the piano" and "fried green tomato", the opening date of "farewell to the piano" is December 6, which is a small-scale drawing in the tradition of making prize films, and the schedule of "fried green tomato" is December 27, the last week of 1991.

"Toy Story" and "farewell to the piano" are the films independently produced by danielis entertainment. The female comedy "fried green tomato" starring Robert De Niro and Kathy Bates is a project taken over from universal.

After "horror corner" and "fried green tomato", Universal's Distribution Department will be officially abolished, and only the production brand of universal pictures will be retained.

Not only that, in a few years, the production brand of universal pictures will be completely integrated by danielis entertainment.

Although it is a classic brand that has lasted for more than half a century, now danielis entertainment also has the strength to replace this brand.

In this world, after all, nothing is eternal.

Malibu, daenerys studios.

After this period of discussion, the director of "the bell of midnight" has finally been confirmed, named Philip Noyce.

Simon has been browsing through the box office reports of the past weekend, and has been discussing with the director about the details of the production of "midnight bell" in the morning.

Last time, it was said that Denny Morris could choose some new directors with good potential. Philip Noyce should be considered a new director in Hollywood, but he is not young. This director is 41 years old.

Simon is interested in each other, mainly because of the director's resume.

Philip Noyce is from Australia. He began to be interested in movies when he was very young. He made his first movie at the age of 18, and then mixed in the Australian film circle. He did not meet Hollywood until two years ago. He directed the sea drifting thriller "sailing across the horizon" starring Nicole Kidman, a producer of George Miller.

Yes, the choice of Philip Noyce is still due to the human factors of George Miller and Nicole Kidman, and Simon's deliberate support for the Australian gang.

However, if the director doesn't have enough strength, Simon certainly won't use the other side.

Philip Noyce not only has a professional film academy background, but also has the film industry experience since he was 18 years old.

Moreover, in the original time and space, Philip Noyce directed Harrison Ford's game of the Patriots, Angelina Jolie's agent salt and other blockbusters. Although these things have not yet happened, it is enough to prove the director's film skills.

In addition, Philip Noyce has tried horror movies in recent years. Although it's not a Hollywood movie, it's enough to direct "the bell at midnight".

As a "rookie" who has only tried one Hollywood movie, Philip Noyce cherishes this opportunity.

After Denny Morris got in touch with him, the director made a special trip to Japan and spent a few days discussing the plot style of the film with Suzuki, the author of the original novel "the midnight bell", as well as knowing a lot about Japanese horror films.Many famous film directors' early works are very amazing, and later gradually become mediocre. In Simon's view, the exhaustion of talent is only a small part of the factors. The key lies in that a director's mentality changes after he becomes famous, and he often won't put too much effort into his works.

After more than two hours of interview, Simon instructed Denny Morris to discuss the signing of the contract with Philip Noyce.

After dealing with this matter, Simon just opened the patent list of the World Wide Web Alliance Foundation coming from San Francisco, and the female assistant knocked on the door: "boss, Ms. Johnston is here."

Simon didn't respond: "hmm?"

The assistant explained, "Veronica Johnston."

Simon nodded and said, "let her in."

The female assistant drew back from the door, the door was pushed open, and Veronica Johnston, who is still in a black women's ol suit, came in.

Looking at Simon who didn't get up behind his desk, Veronica stood not far from the door and whispered, "I, the plane in the afternoon."

Simon and Veronica look at each other, sign from the sofa in the reception area, and then continue to look at the patent list in their hands.

Veronica did not expect Simon's attitude to change too much. She went to the sofa and chose a seat facing Simon.

A moment later, the female assistant brought in coffee and noticed the strange atmosphere in the office. It was Simon's indifference to Veronica that made the man behind the desk white. She put down the coffee and sat down in the reception area.

After chatting with Veronica for a while, she still had a job in her hand, so the female assistant had to get up. When she left, she motioned Simon with her eyes not to leave the guests in the cold.

Of course, the assistant didn't understand why Simon and Janet's aunt had such a strange relationship, but she instinctively felt that Simon should be warmer.

The atmosphere in the office remained unchanged as Jennifer left.

Veronica quietly finished a cup of coffee, hesitated for a moment, and asked softly, "do you know what I promised Jennie?"

Simon nodded.

Veronica didn't know how to go on for a moment when she saw that Simon didn't speak.

Fortunately, he didn't sneer at himself this time.

Janet's proposal to ask Veronica to help take care of her children yesterday was just on the spur of the moment. Veronica agreed, but from the bottom of her heart, she felt guilty or compensated.

Once failed to take up their own responsibility.

Now, it's a little compensation.

Although

There was another moment of silence. Veronica put down her empty glass and planned to leave, but suddenly she couldn't help asking a question that had been buried in her heart for a long time.

"Back then, the Levinsons, why did they disappear? You How did you end up in San Francisco alone? "

Behind the desk.

Simon mechanically looked at the document in front of him, only frowning slightly, as if recalling some memories he didn't want to remember.

There is plenty of light in the office.

However, for a moment, Veronica felt that Simon, who was not far away, seemed to fall into some kind of cold shadow, which even made her heart stop.

Pa -

the pencil broke.

A certain atmosphere dissipated in an instant.

Veronica is still sitting, don't know how long, it seems very far away, in fact, very close to the place just came a voice: "you go."

Inexplicably, Veronica's eyes overflowed with uncontrollable tears again.

She raised her hand to cover her mouth, trying to restrain herself from crying.

But the tears could not be restrained in any case, and soon merged into a line on the cold face and turned into the gap of the palm.

Simon silently looked at the documents in his hand until he had finished reading all the more than ten pages of documents. He looked up again at the woman who had calmed down a little on the sofa and said, "have lunch with me."

She whispered, "well."

Simon got up and went to the door.

Veronica stares at the distance carefully, gets up and follows quietly.

Realize that you may ignore or don't know too much.

There's no way to make up for it.

How can it be made up for?!

Deep down in my heart, I made up my mind that I would never, never, never mention anything again.
