The three approached, Simon and the two greeted them, and looked at Jonathan and De Niro without a trace.

Jonathan was still as gentle and modest as usual, but De Niro's expression was obviously a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Simon realized that Jonathan should have a very good conversation with De Niro.

Robert De Niro, however, clearly hasn't made up his mind.

After several accidents last year, wma, which has a rigid operating mechanism and fierce internal struggle, has clearly begun to turn from prosperity to decline. On the other hand, caa's packaging strategy is constantly striving for higher and higher remuneration for Hollywood stars. It is completely self-evident which Robert De Niro prefers to choose an agency.

However, Simon is very unwilling to see this happen.

With the change of identity from screenwriter and director to producer and investor, Simon realized that if CAA becomes as dominant as the original time and space again, Hollywood film companies will definitely become more and more passive.

To break this situation, the method could not be simpler, and try to keep the competition situation of several major Hollywood brokerage companies as close as possible.

Daenerys Pictures is still just a little yellow croaker who has just made a few waves in Hollywood. It is definitely impossible to change this industry trend by itself. However, Simon will not give up this effort easily.

Therefore, after a few chats, Simon said bluntly: "Bob, in my opinion, joining wma is a better choice for you."

Since the first meeting, Robert De Niro has had a very good impression of Simon.

Hearing the words at this time, he glanced at Jonathan Friedman, thought about it and said frankly: "Simon, and Joe, in fact, Mr. Ovitz has personally talked to me a few times. In all fairness, caa is very good to me. more attractive.”

Simon glanced at Jonathan, who had a slightly uncomfortable expression, and continued to say to Robert De Niro: "Bob, you must know that Sean Connery is in caa's office, right?"

Robert De Niro nodded suspiciously.

Sean Connery is the first Hollywood superstar to be brought under caa. In order to show the importance of this client, Michael Ovitz has said that caa will always keep a separate office for Sean Connery.

For most stars, this incident seems to reflect the importance caa attaches to its customers.

Simon has a completely different view on this: "Bob, since caa signed Sean Connery in 1979, there have been basically few movies he has acted in that have made big box office hits. Even four years ago The 007 spinoff of "Cruising Missiles" was not a box office success. But caa kept getting big budget projects for Sean Connery. Bob, do you know what that means?"

De Niro just shook his head, but Jonathan's eyes were a little more clear, but he didn't interrupt, smiling and waiting for Simon to continue.

Simon continued: "This means that caa is also a company that pays great attention to seniority. Moreover, the synergy mechanism within caa is also destined to involuntarily put more resources on certain people. Sean Kang Nally is the beneficiary of this mechanism. And not just Sean Connery, caa now has Dustin Hoffman, Warren Beatty, Robert Redford, Al Pa Each of these superstars, Sino, who is as famous as you, became caa's customers earlier than you. So, Bob, do you think you can get enough attention when you join caa now?"

In fact, Simon's words are definitely not just an excuse to stop De Niro from joining caa.

Without Simon, Robert De Niro would indeed be another big-name client for caa.

But the result.

Beginning in the 1990s, Robert De Niro, who was expected to rival Meryl Streep in performance, has gradually become a comedy star.

When Sean Connery was nearly seventy years old, caa also won a astronomical salary of $20 million for the other party through "The Trap of Stealing the Sky". But Robert De Niro's rare years, he can only star in "Dirty Grandfather" this kind of vulgar comedy.

This has to be said to be a great regret in the history of Hollywood movies.

After listening to Simon's words, Robert De Niro couldn't help falling silent.

Neither Simon nor Jonathan bothered.

After a moment, Robert said to Jonathan, "Joe, I need to think about it again."

Jonathan realized that there would be no more changes in this matter, and nodded: "Of course, Bob, I look forward to hearing good news from you."

Time has passed 9:30 unknowingly.

With that said, Robert De Niro said his goodbyes.

After sending the other party away and returning to the party scene, Jonathan asked Simon curiously: "It seems that you don't want De Niro to join caa more than I do, what's the matter?"

Although the relationship is close, Simon can't tell Jonathan what he thinks in his heart. He just said: "You must know what happened on Monday? I didn't have a good conversation with Ovitz."

Jonathan nodded and smiled.

Of course he knew what happened on Monday, and he was even worried that Simon would suddenly be dug by caa.

After holding back for a week, Jonathan originally wanted to test Simon's attitude at this party. pass him

After persuading Robert De Niro just now, the agent was completely relieved at this time.

So he talked about another thing: "Simon, the actress information you sent in the afternoon, Nicole Kidman. I have been in contact with her, and it is not a problem to dig it out. However, you are How did you plan?"

Simon didn't hide it, and said, "I want her to play Mia."

Jonathan's casting schedule for Pulp Fiction is clear.

The role of Mia is still at the stage of submitting her resume. Nicole Kidman has some fame in Australia, but in Hollywood, it's completely unknown, and it's unlikely that Simon has seen each other perform in advance.

However, the message 'Australia' flashed through his mind, and Jonathan immediately thought of Janet.

As Simon's agent, although he doesn't know exactly what happened between the two, Jonathan can determine from many signs that Simon and Janet are not at each other's throats as the outside world said, not even the couple's quarrel. Calculate.

Perhaps this Nicole Kidman was recommended to Simon by Janet Johnston.

Jonathan knew that Simon was never a flippant. Now that he wants Nicole Kidman to play Mia, the actress is definitely up for the role. "Lola Run" has made Sandra a first-line actress in Hollywood, and Jonathan naturally doesn't mind another top actress under his name.

The two chatted for a while, and Simon also planned to leave, but remembered another thing: "Joe, I just recently made a story script for an animation. I'll give it to you next Monday, and help me get in touch with Disney."

Jonathan was a little surprised: "Cartoon?"

Simon nodded and said, "The story tells the story of a little lion growing into the king of the prairie. The name is "The Lion King"."

Jonathan couldn't help shaking his head and said, "Simon, Disney is not the Disney it used to be. Both Eisner and Katzenberg don't pay much attention to animated films. Not only did they reorganize the animation department into a subsidiary of Disney Pictures two years ago, , even the studio staff were sent to the abandoned warehouse in Glendale."

Simon has been closely following various developments in Hollywood on weekdays, and he is naturally aware of what Jonathan is talking about.

Although before the rise of 3D animation, Disney successively launched many popular 2D animations such as "Beauty and the Beast" and "Aladdin" in the early 1990s, but in the first few years of Disney, Michael Eisner and Jeff Ray Katzenberg is paying more attention to live-action movies, and there were even rumors that Disney planned to completely shut down the animation department.

"Joe, I know what you're talking about. I'm not planning to sell the script to Disney. If possible, I'd like to have Daenerys Pictures invest in and commission Disney's animation department to produce this project. Animated film production The cycle is very long. So, don’t think about the issue of distribution for the time being. You just need to negotiate with Disney along this line of thinking.”

Jonathan frowned: "Simon, I don't understand."

Simon will definitely do more things that confuse people around him in the future. He doesn't want to waste his words every time. At this time, he just said: "Joe, this is actually the gift I want to give to Jenny. So, you Just get in touch with Disney on my own terms."

Jonathan took a deep look at Simon, didn't ask any further, just smiled: "Well, who made you my most important client. However, Simon, if you think about it, this should actually be Pascal's work. . I'm in touch with Disney, and it's a little bit beyond my job."

Simon spread his hands and said, "Amy is too busy. She has to fly to New York tomorrow. The annual salary you get from me is higher than that of Amy, so you should do more."

Although Jonathan didn't think Amy's salary would be lower than himself, he nodded in agreement.

The two negotiated the matter, and Simon said goodbye.

As usual, Neil Bennett drove to pick him up, Simon found Sandra from the crowd, took the girl into his SUV, and the car left Jonathan's house and headed east to West Hollywood.

It's not too far from Coldwater Canyon to West Hollywood. After more than ten minutes, Chevrolet stopped outside an apartment building near Santa Monica Boulevard.

Looking at the dark corridor at the entrance of the apartment building, Simon thought about it, and got off with Sandra.

The two had just stood on the side of the road, when a clear click sounded not far away.

Simon looked at Sandra with his hands folded behind his back and lowered his eyes, and said with a smile, "That's it, 'Simon Westeros' new relationship is exposed'."

Sandra listened to the shutter sound of the camera not far away, and someone turned on the flash, inexplicably happy. However, listening to Simon's indifferent tone of reading the headlines of the gossip tabloids, she realized that he didn't care about it at all.

He really doesn't care about that.

Suddenly a little dissatisfied, he retorted: "Why not 'Sandra Bullock's new relationship exposed'?"

Simon shrugged and said, "You're not as famous as me."

"Megalomaniac," Sandra rolled her eyes and rolled her toes on the ground. After hesitating for a while, she finally said, "You, do you want to go up and sit?"

Simon looked up at the apartment building in front of him and said, "Your assistant, Gina, right? Didn't she live with you?"

Sandra's assistant, Gina Klos, lives with her on weekdays.

However, after agreeing with Simon to send herself home, Sandra quickly dismissed Gina Klos from the party, and specifically asked her to tonight

Don't come back.

Thinking of some of the thoughts in her heart at that time, Sandra felt a slight heat on her cheeks.

At this time, he lied calmly and said, "No, she has a boyfriend and will go out to live on weekends."

Simon nodded: "Oh."

Sandra waited, seeing that Simon didn't move his footsteps, and also made a single syllable: "Huh?"

Simon smiled and said, "I won't go up. You must know that Jenny and I haven't figured it out yet."

"You, didn't you break up with her?"

As Sandra said, she couldn't help but glanced at the cab of the SUV on the side of the road, and she didn't even believe it herself.

Simon shook his head and said, "No, it's just a small setback. It's always difficult for things like relationships to go smoothly."

Lost flashed in Sandra's eyes, and suddenly raised her head again, and said, "Then, at the party, that woman, will you sleep with her?"

Simon thought for a while and said, "Maybe, maybe not."

"Um?"

"depend on mood."

Sandra opened her eyes wide, remembering a certain title that Janet occasionally used, and couldn't help but say, "Jenny is right, Simon, you really are a little bastard."

Simon pretended to be nervous: "You won't break up with me, will you?"

Sandra learned from Simon's tone just now and said, "It depends on your mood."

Simon smiled and said, "Go up, it's very late."

Sandra didn't move, her hands were still behind her back, she gathered up her courage to stare at Simon, and said, "You know I like you, right?"

"Yeah, that's why I can't go upstairs with you."

Sandra was a little reluctant and said, "Why?"

Simon looked at the girl in front of him and said, "Because we are good friends, Sandy, I don't care about many people in this world. I have Jenny now, so I can't go any further with you."

Sandra still stared at Simon and said, "But you want to have sex with, um, a woman you don't care about?"

Simon nodded: "Yes."

Sandra felt a little confused, so she retracted her hands behind her back, gestured randomly, and said, "Then, aren't you afraid that Jenny will know?"

Simon shook his head: "Not afraid."

Sandra asked again, "Why?"

Simon thought about it and said, "Jenny and I, probably, are the kind of people with a special outlook on life, and she doesn't care about that."

Sandra said dissatisfiedly: "How do you know she doesn't care, women do care a lot."

"I thought so too," Simon nodded, "However, after this breakup, I realized that she didn't care. Jenny is the kind of person who advocates absolute freedom. She thinks a person should do whatever he wants, Don't do what you don't want to do."

Sandra subconsciously said: "This kind of freedom does not exist in this world at all."

Simon smiled and said, "So, this is probably why Jenny likes me."

Sandra made a look of contempt, but waited for Simon to explain.

"In this world, the more people stand at the top of the pyramid, the greater the degree of freedom. Jenny thinks I will be the one at the top of the world's pyramid," Simon explained, but added with a smile: "Actually, I think so."

Sandra rolled her eyes at Simon and said, "I suddenly don't want to hear your nonsense anymore."

Simon opened his arms: "Then, good night."

Sandra looked at the handsome face of the man in front of her, and thought a little bit in her heart, God is really unfair.

All so handsome.

Also so talented.

Still so arrogant.

Not my boyfriend.

Abominable.

Then got very angry.

So he took a step forward, suddenly put his arms around the man's neck, and kissed him directly.

Simon didn't expect Sandra to react like this, so he turned his head in time, and was kissed on the cheek by the girl.

Listening to the hurried camera shutter sound nearby, in order to avoid Sandra's embarrassment, Simon just raised his hand to hold the girl's waist, exerting a little force, trying to push her away without a trace.

Sandra hugged Simon's neck tightly, adjusted the angle, and kissed her soft lips accurately.

After lingering for a while, at the end, he bit Simon lightly on his lips, and Sandra released him, her face flushed red against the streetlights, ignoring the paparazzi who had come over, and leaving a demonstration-like smug look, He turned around and ran into the corridor.
