Chapter 551

Malibu, daenerys studios.

It's Monday, May 17.

At the end of the production meeting of Forrest Gump, it's almost noon. After lunch with Robert zemegis, Tom Hanks and others, Simon and Tom Pollack, the president of danielis pictures, return to the district office building together.

As they entered the office elevator, Tom Pollack said to Simon, "owitz told me about the Jurassic Park sequel at a reception in Belle on Saturday."

Simon just nodded and asked, "what does owitz say?"

Last Friday, Jurassic Park was officially released in North America, and the media began to pay attention to this series of sequels that haven't been promoted yet. Danielis entertainment has been delayed for less than half a year. Even if she feels that she is unlikely to be replaced, Spielberg is probably hard to be reserved.

Tom Pollack said: "owitz hinted that someone is lobbying Steven to set up his own big studio. If we can't sign the contract for Jurassic Park sequel as soon as possible, Steven may not have enough energy to focus on this project."

Simon said a name directly: "David Geffen?"

Tom Pollack was stunned, nodded and said, "did you hear that, too?"

David Geffen is the founder of Geffen records. Geffen records was originally affiliated to Warner records. A few years ago, Geffen and Steve Roth fell out because of the merger of Time Warner. Geffen records transferred to universal records, and further became a part of Denise records group.

At the beginning, MCA acquired Gefen records in exchange for shares. After danilisi entertainment acquired MCA, David Gefen, who holds about 10% of MCA's shares, cashed out. Because of restrictive agreements, Gefen has been unable to re-enter the recording field in recent years and has begun to try film investment.

Simon is not in the mood to inquire about all kinds of Hollywood gossip. The information in his memory is enough for him to sort out a lot of things.

However, in the face of Pollack's doubts, Simon nodded slightly, and said directly: "according to the plan we discussed at the beginning, continue to perfunctory Steven's side, and then choose the right time to announce the change of director."

Tom Pollack paused, nodded and said nothing more.

Simon also knows what Pollack is thinking. This conservative former executive of universal pictures always thinks that it is not safe to replace Spielberg. He has explained that he is thinking at the beginning. Simon does not intend to waste any more words to persuade his subordinates. He only needs the other party to carry out the plan.

Coming to her top office, Nancy Brill is already waiting.

Seeing Simon come in, the small female executive who used to sit on the sofa in the reception area and look through a document gets up and shakes Simon's hand, then sits down again.

Girl a follows Simon in, puts down some papers, and brings coffee to them. Then she quietly leaves the office.

Nancy followed girl a in the direction of the closed door, looked back at Simon, and said, "men really like the new and dislike the old."

Simon took a sip of coffee, leaned back on the sofa, opened last weekend's box office report, and said, "this is very old, and I'm going to change it to a new one recently. Are you interested?"

Nancy gave Simon a white look: "do you think it's appropriate for me to demote a group president to be your assistant?"

Simon shook his head: "you are wrong. The president of the group is still yours. I mean to warm my bed."

"I think I should bring a recorder when I talk to you in the future, so that I can record a lot of evidence of sexual harassment," Nancy said

Simon changed the subject decisively: "OK, let's get down to business."

Nancy couldn't help losing her eyes again and said, "I've been looking for a few executives for Blockbuster Entertainment recently."

Simon wondered, "what's the problem?"

"It needs your consent," Nancy said

Said the little executive, handing over a document she was looking through when Simon came in.

Simon took it and opened it. The name on the first page stunned him.

Robert Shea.

The founder of new line pictures.

After thinking about it and not rushing to say anything, Simon continued to put it down, and then he saw the names of a pair of brothers, Harvey Weinstein and Bob Weinstein.

Without carefully reading the contents of the three resumes, Simon closed the folder and looked across at Nancy: "what do you think?"

Nancy said: "the new line will launch an asset auction next month. After the liquidation, Robert Shea will definitely be in this circle. And the Weinstein brothers. The last time you asked me to take pictures of Miramax's film library, I investigated the brothers. Although I don't understand the joints, I think it's not just the new line this time. The previous bankruptcy of Miramax should also be the result of your manipulation. "

Simon, on the surface, was noncommittal, and in his heart he had to admire the little woman's keen consciousness.

The bankruptcy of the new line of film industry, Denise entertainment for very obvious.However, for Miramax, Simon just asked James Leibold to say hello to Miramax's creditor, Chase Manhattan Bank, in private. Few people know about this. Unexpectedly, Nancy only contacted herself according to the fact that Simon asked her to take Miramax film library.

Now that he was guessed, Simon didn't deny it and said, "in this case, you dare to recruit these people, and do you think they will agree to join Blockbuster Entertainment?"

Nancy didn't hear Simon's denial. She raised her eyebrows slightly and then said, "as long as you agree, the rest is my business."

Simon asked, "Why are these three people?"

"Robert Shea is an excellent film company manager, experienced, proficient in production and distribution, thrifty and meticulous, cautious and never profligate," Nancy said. The Weinstein brothers are very adventurous filmmakers. Although some of them like to run wild, this kind of character that is not bound by the traditional Hollywood pattern is exactly what this traditional conservative circle lacks

Simon nodded slightly, but then said, "even if two kinds of people with different styles can be recruited, do you think you can make them cooperate with each other?"

"It's my business," Nancy said again

Simon looked at the small woman on the opposite sofa, who was only one meter five, and said, "but if you screw up, it's my boss."

"A good boss should be able to allow his subordinates to fail."

"Well, I agree."

“……”

"It seems that you think highly of me in private."

"Not at all."

"Come on, it's not good for a woman to be duplicative."

“……”

"Well, no kidding," Simon said with a smile, appreciating the depressing expression of small female executives. "These three people, you should understand that although new line and Miramax are only second - and third tier film companies, they have been bosses after all. It's not easy to make them willing to take care of your company when they are used to being on top of others. "

Nancy retorted: "aren't Peter Cooper and Jon Peterson from Colombia and Shirley Lansing from MGM originally the owners of their own film companies?"

"It's not the same," Simon said, shaking his head. "Some of them are used to working with big studios, but Robert Shea and others are always outside the studio system."

"In my opinion, it's just that they don't have a chance to work with big studios," Nancy said with a smile

Simon pause, think about some of the information in memory, Nancy said is not unreasonable.

In the original time and space, Miramax and new line were already subsidiaries of Disney and Time Warner. Strictly speaking, neither Weinstein brothers nor Robert Shea can be regarded as the owners of their own film companies, but prefer professional managers.

However, the former new line and Miramax have strong autonomy. Therefore, in the impression of many people, the three people still seem to be the boss of their own company.

After thinking about it for a moment, Simon shrugged and said, "well, in fact, I just want to say that the three people should be very strong personalities. It's not easy to control them."

Nancy tilted her head slightly and said, "do you think I can handle it easily?"

Simon was stunned, then said with a smile: "I can control you with one finger."

Simon was just suggesting that he was very strong. Unexpectedly, Nancy suddenly turned red and glared at someone and said, "boss, if you do this again, I will really sue you for sexual harassment."

Looking at the small woman's shameful appearance, Simonton understood it, slightly raised his hand to make a surrender, and could not help but said: "so, you'd better find a girlfriend quickly, single women are really pitiful."

This time Nancy was stunned: "woman "Girlfriends?"

Simon shrugged: "I never advise a woman to find a boyfriend."

"I'm looking for you, right?"

"Yes."

"Arrogant guy." Nancy felt that she had no strength to roll her eyes, so she just got up from the sofa, stepped on her high-heeled shoes, which she used to loosen whenever she went, and said, "since you agree, I'll go to work."

Simon stood up and handed Nancy the information of Robert Shea.

Nancy walked up to Simon. Before she could reach for the information, she suddenly tilted and fell to the sofa next to him with a snore.

Simon watched the little woman fall on the sofa, still holding the posture of delivering documents in her hand, pausing and gesticulating in her chest, and said: "so, you don't need to wear high heels at all. Your height doesn't increase much. Sometimes it's quite dangerous."

Nancy sat down on the sofa, took a deep breath, looked up at the man and said, "why didn't you just help me?"

"No response."“……”

"Well, actually you are not in danger. The quality of the sofa here is very good."

“……”

What else can Simon say? The little woman on the sofa has already stood up, and then bullied Simon. She put her hand around the man's waist, and a pretty face with a little blush came up.

Feeling the fragrance coming from his nose, Simon threw away the paper and just put his hands on Nancy's waist to consider whether to hold the person in his arms. The woman's red lips were close, and then there was a pearl like white tooth. Then there was a sudden pain coming from her chin.

"Ah..."

In the cry of men's pain, Nancy easily separated from a guy's arms, picked up Simon's left on the sofa and went to the office door. After opening the door, she didn't forget to turn around and said, "boss, this time it's just a warning. Next time I'll bite out the blood mark that won't fade for a month."

Then he went away.

After entering the office, girl a occupies the outside position directly connected to Simon's office, so she hears the man's cry and Nancy's words standing at the door. She looks at a small female executive leaving barefoot after dropping some "cruel words". After hesitating for a moment, Alison gets up to the door and knocks on the door.

Simon has returned to his desk, looking at the dental marks on his chin on the computer screen, noticed the figure of girl a, thought about it, and said, "a, help me find a band aid, bigger one."

Alison looked at the two rows of obvious teeth marks on her boss's chin, endured some smile from the bottom of her heart and inexplicable envy, and said: "boss, it seems that there is no bleeding, and there is no need for band aids."

"I know there's no bleeding, but I'll cover up the meeting with Barry Weiss later."

After all, Allison couldn't hold back her mouth and went into the office. She closed the door and went to the corner locker of the office to find the daily spare emergency medicine box. She opened it and turned it over. She took out a box of band aids and came to the man.

Simon leaned against the leather chair and said bitterly, "help me stick it on. Stick it carefully and it will look better."

Girl a, with a band aid in her hand, looked at the angular and handsome face of the man who closed her eyes on the leather chair for a short rest. Although it was not the first time she was so close to him, she realized that this was her first chance to take the initiative.

When the man opened his eyes and looked at her, Alison reacted and quickly stepped forward. The thin and cool fingertip touched the tooth mark on the man's chin. He hesitated and said in a low voice, "boss, you don't need to stick band aids. Maybe you can rub it and it will go away soon."

The response was just a slight, um.

So put down the band aid in hand, get closer, a few slender fingers on the man's chin gently rub up.

So close to feel the man's breath, the body can not help some fever.

Since she was selected by Janet to come to Simon's side, for several years, this man's strength, handsome, wealth, power and so on have always been affected by several girls, because Janet's original hints and training have been waiting or looking forward to this man's possession of them.

When something never happens, some emotions get deeper.

However, at this time, the opportunity is in front of her. Girl a moves mechanically on her hand and looks at the man close at hand for a moment. Finally, she suppresses some idea.

I know the rules of men.

If anything happens today, we'll have to leave him next.

She wanted to stay with him for a long time.
