Inside an apartment in Brentwood, north of Santa Monica.

After the party last night, Nancy Brill invited Sophia Fisher to her apartment. The two women were both from France, and they hit it off once again. Sophia readily agreed, and left her hotel room overnight and moved in.

Today is Sunday.

Sophia woke up around 7 in the morning, and on the other side of the big bed, Nancy was still asleep.

The two were of the same age, but looking at Nancy's petite face covered by her hair, Sophia inexplicably thought of her pair of children who were far away from her French parents.

At a certain moment, she even had the urge to lean down and kiss the woman next to her on the face.

Of course such abrupt thoughts will not be put into action.

Sophia is not gay. Although she learned that Nancy had been single all these years during the chat last night, she did not think Nancy had such a tendency.

She got out of bed gently, and pulled the curtains that let in the light tightly before Sophia walked out of the bedroom.

Standing in the corridor outside the bedroom on the second floor, Sophia judged from her experience as a real estate agent that the two-story apartment had at least 12 rooms. However, the apartment did not appear messy at all because the owner was a busy single working woman, but instead showed a neatness and order that only had an obsessive-compulsive disorder.

After changing to another room and washing, Sophia consciously began to help the two prepare breakfast. She had always been a very careful woman, and had a general idea of ​​Nancy's tastes at the party last night. Moreover, the ingredients in the kitchen of this apartment are probably not the type that the owner hates.

Half an hour later, Sophia was cooking a sweet corn soup when the sound of good morning came from behind.

Turning her head to look, Nancy was standing at the door wearing a pale pink silk nightdress with suspenders. Her hair had not been taken care of, and her face had a tiredness of waking up after drinking. Her delicate collarbones and rounded shoulders made her look Very sexy, with bare feet underneath.

Sophia also said good morning, but she had to move her gaze down a little to meet a petite woman.

Nancy noticed the smile on the corner of Sophia's mouth, and suddenly she looked like a cat whose tail was stepped on, her eyes widened slightly and said, "Please, don't call me like a doll, I'll be angry."

Sophia originally wanted to joke that her 8-year-old son would be as tall as her in a few years. Seeing Nancy's reaction, she gave up the idea and just said, "Breakfast will take a while, so you can wash it first. bath."

Nancy agreed and went upstairs to freshen up again.

In the restaurant, the two ate breakfast together, and Nancy took the initiative to confide her troubles to Sophia: "My father is 6 feet tall, and my mother is 5 feet 9 inches. But for some reason, I grow up to 5 feet 1 inches. I haven't grown taller. Although I never said it, I know that my dad always suspected that I was not his biological son."

Concerning other people's family privacy, Sophia is not very good at answering, and is just a quiet listener.

Nancy did not shy away, and continued: "A few years ago, when I heard that the DNA paternity test appeared, Dad ran to do it immediately. I guess he should have done it several times. After confirming that I was his daughter, he solemnly I want to apologize to my mother and me. It's just that, after so many years of cracks, how can I make up for it with one apology. Since junior high school, I found that I was shorter than the children of the same age, and I have always felt inferior. Ever since I heard my first attempt The boy I dated bragged to his friends that I was a doll, and I never had a boyfriend. Then I got stronger and stronger and wanted to outshine all the guys who were taller than me.”

Sophia wisely ignored the impact of Nancy's height on her family, and said lightly: "Actually, it's okay to be shorter. We are women, it doesn't matter if we are taller or shorter, let alone you are so beautiful."

"You can't understand my distress," Nancy sighed with a little vicissitudes of life, picked up the spoon and took a sip of sweet corn soup, then said: "What about you, Sophie, how can you work for Westeros ?"

"I was originally an agent of a real estate agency. At the Cannes Film Festival last year, a house that Simon was interested in happened to be represented by me, so I seized the opportunity decisively. You know, in order to attract the attention of our boss , I called every day during that time, and often made excuses to take the initiative to visit, and finally succeeded."

Nancy listened in a daze before saying, "Sophie, you are really sincere."

Sophia felt that she should be able to become a very close friend with the outspoken little woman on the opposite side, so she showed her other side a little. She could also feel that Nancy's words did not mean anything contemptuous, so she just rolled her eyes and said, "Without a little scheming, I should be in Corsica now, maybe marry a fisherman, repeating boring and boring every day housework, guarding the children, taking care of her husband, all her life in obscurity, until one day she is completely old. My mother is such a woman, but this is not the life I want."

Although she has a suspicious father, Nancy grew up in a rather prosperous living environment and basically never experienced any major setbacks.

At this time, listening to Sophia's indifferent narration, Nancy felt a bitterness that she had never experienced before, so she put down the spoon, reached out and patted Sophia on the back of Sophia's hand soothingly, saying, "Sophia, I announce , from now on, you are my best friend."

Sophia smiled and shook hands with Nancy, but did not express her position as directly as she did.

Nancy withdrew her hand, picked up the spoon again and stirred her sweet corn soup, then

Suddenly he asked again, "Have you slept with him?"

Sophia understood who Nancy was referring to and shook her head, "No."

Nancy was a little surprised: "Why?"

Sophia felt that Nancy's rhetorical question was a bit weird. Is it so natural for her to sleep with Simon? However, after thinking about it, she still said, "Simon, he is a very restrained person in this regard."

Probably, it won't last long.

As he spoke, a certain voice in his heart added this sentence, with a slight smugness.

Naturally, Nancy couldn't hear Sophia's heart, but she said with great interest, "If you have sex with him, remember to tell me."

Sophia was a little helpless: "Are you interested in this matter?"

"I'm interested in everything about our little boss," Nancy said honestly.

"Then why don't you try it yourself?"

Nancy shrank her neck as if thinking of some terrible scene: "I don't want to sleep with men."

Sophia smiled and seduced: "I still have to try this kind of thing myself."

After breakfast, Nancy changed into a black professional suit and habitual platform high heels, and the two women drove to Burbank together. The office of Highgate Pictures was set up in the Burbank branch of Daenerys Entertainment. Discussing the Gucci documentary with Ella Deutschman today.

After leaving the apartment in Brentwood, Nancy went to work.

Sophia held the steering wheel and glanced at Nancy, who was reading the thick stack of video game materials in the co-pilot, and said, "I think Daenerys Entertainment should actually try to develop game consoles and simply develop video games. It is to be constrained by the host manufacturer.”

"I have also considered this, but Daenerys Entertainment has zero foundation in this regard. We have missed the era of 8-bit computers, and 16-bit hosts can't keep up. If we want to enter the market, we can only directly invest in research and development of the first. Three generations of 32-bit game consoles. The development of game consoles requires a lot of money and time. In the process of developing the 2600 console, Atari had to sell it to Warner because of the broken capital chain. Atari 2600 lasted for four years before and after the development. That’s $100 million in the 1970s. And, even if there is no shortage of money and time, we still have to face the patent barriers and content barriers that Japanese manufacturers have erected.”

Sophia listened to Nancy's words and said with a smile, "You're not like a person who will back down when faced with difficulties."

Nancy raised her chin slightly and said, "Of course not. Apart from these external factors, the most fundamental reason is that I don't think it's a good idea to invest in the development of game consoles. Don't look at the fact that Nintendo's nes occupies 90% of the market every year. Make big profits. However, competitors such as Sega, Atari and Sony have not given up their attempts to enter the game console market, and there may be new players in the future. Nintendo has already begun to lag behind on 16-bit consoles, In recent years, the development of pc games has also been very rapid, which means that in the future, the game hardware market will form a very fierce competition situation, and there may not be any winners. In contrast, high-quality game content is always for the market. In addition, I also found that excellent video games all have a very long life cycle. As long as a blockbuster is successfully created, the production company can continue to develop it from generation to generation, and each generation can bring stable and rich Profit. So, my ultimate goal is to make Blizzard Studios a video game production and distribution company. As for developing game consoles, I have no interest.”

Conversing all the way, Sophia and Nancy came to the Burbank Daenerys Entertainment Branch, and Ella Deutschman had arrived ahead of schedule.

Although it was Sunday, the office building of the Burbank branch was still busy.

The continuous work rhythm of Daenerys Entertainment has attracted a lot of media attention, and some California employee rights protection organizations have also specially sent people to investigate whether there is forced overtime behavior.

The company does not have any compulsive behavior, but the ethos has been formed. When everyone else is working, those who want to rest are embarrassed to stop. Among them, there are many employees who choose to resign because they cannot bear the pressure.

Moreover, recently, the news that Simon was in a coma due to excessive exhaustion came back, and some of the original complaints were much less.

The boss is exhausted, you have no right to complain.

"My Left Foot" was completed at the end of February. At the request of Deutschman, film director Jim Sheridan led the production team to Los Angeles to complete the post-production of the film.

After failing to get "Sex, Lies and Videotape", Deutschman made "My Left Foot" a candidate for this year's Cannes Film Festival. With Simon's connections in Cannes last year, as long as the quality of "My Left Foot" can meet expectations, it is not difficult to get a place in the main competition unit.

"Sex, Lies, and Videotape" received critical acclaim and an audience award at the Sundance Film Festival in January, and Columbia Pictures isn't eager to push the film to theatrical lines, with plans to participate in May as well. Cannes Film Festival.

By then, "Sex, Lies, and Videotape" and "My Left Foot" will compete head-to-head.

After the regular meeting with the post-production team of "My Left Foot", Deutschman came to the office and discussed the development plan of Gucci's documentary with the two women Sophia.

Although the outside world is most talked about by the grievances and grievances of the Gucci family, these elements that will definitely affect the Gucci brand image should obviously be included in the documentary as much as possible.

After a morning of discussions, it was initially determined that the documentary will begin with the hiring of a new creative director by Gucci. In September

The Gucci 1990 Spring/Summer Fashion Show in Milan Fashion Week is the end point, interspersed with various introductions about Gucci's cultural heritage, brand style, classic styles and interesting anecdotes.

Of course, this discussion was not without disagreements.

Hearing that Deutschman asked Gucci to provide at least half of the production funds as a 'sponsorship' fee, but did not enjoy the copyright and expected benefits of the documentary, Sofia firmly opposed. The final agreement was that Gaomen Pictures and Gucci would share half of the budget and share copyright and revenue.

However, as a distributor, Gaomen Pictures can take 12.5% ​​of the documentary's omni-channel revenue as a distribution commission in the future.

Because the time is very tight, the preliminary preparations for the documentary will start quickly after the plan is finalized. It is expected that at the end of this month or early next month, Gucci's new creative director will take office, and the filming of the documentary will start.

The next day is Monday, March 6th.

Sophia spent another day discussing with Amy about the brand cooperation between Gucci and Daenerys Entertainment. In fact, it was mainly the advertising placement of Gucci brand in Daenerys Entertainment's film and television works.

The synergy mechanism proposed by Simon is not only implemented within Daenerys Entertainment, but also includes all subsidiaries under the name of Westeros Corporation. Therefore, Amy also tried her best to cooperate.

After finishing the trip in Los Angeles, Sophia hurried to New York, where her work schedule is more intensive.

The first is the $20 million that Simon has just agreed to.

Westeros has continued to sell shares in six technology companies including Apple recently. However, the purpose of the cash out has been determined, and Gucci can only continue to obtain the funds it wants through loans. Because of the priority agreement that came with the last loan, the money still had to be borrowed from Citibank.

Secondly, Sofia also intends to adjust the management of Gucci's US branch, hire a new head of the US branch, and take this opportunity to completely control Gucci's business in North America.

In addition, two of the several Gucci creative director candidates that Sofia was interested in are in New York. This matter is related to the development of Gucci in the next few years, so it also takes a lot of time to communicate with the parties in detail.

Finally, there are some public relations entertainment visits.

While still in Melbourne, Simon helped Sofia determine the itinerary to visit the Murdoch family after arriving in New York. This time, the Murdoch family invested 100 million US dollars in the operation of Cersei Capital.

It must be used when human affection should be used.

News Corporation's "Sun", "News of the World", "New York Post" and other gossip newspapers in Europe and North America have been very happy to track the various infighting scandals of the Gucci family in recent years.

Now that Gucci has been controlled by Simon and happens to have contacts with the Murdoch family, he will naturally not let this situation continue. Murdoch obviously will not reject this kind of favor.
