"The cause of the accident last night was probably caused by a loose screw in the front wheel. I have fired the mechanic responsible for the maintenance of the Batmobile. The props team will conduct an investigation on all Batmobiles and Batmobiles today."

In the hotel restaurant, eating breakfast together, "Batman" producer Joe Silver reported to Simon the cause of the Batmobile accident last night. Although the accident did not cause serious consequences, the situation that the front wheel of the Batmobile fell off directly last night was abnormal at first sight, and Simon did not plan to let it go.

Nodding, Simon asked again, "Where's the media?"

If the news of such an accident spreads, it will inevitably cause some trouble.

The local Australian media Simon is not worried. The two major media families here, the Murdoch family and the Fairfax family, are investors in Cersei Capital, but the media outside Australia is not within Simon's sphere of influence. .

"A paparazzi took some blurry photos in the distance. I communicated with the Los Angeles side and arranged some interview opportunities to exchange the negatives," Joe Silver said: "In addition, the media called to ask questions. , have been blocked, and I will arrange for Miss Golino to make a public appearance in the afternoon, so as to completely eliminate speculation from the outside world."

Film shooting, especially the shooting of such a large-scale film, is actually a process of constantly encountering problems and solving problems, and it is rarely smooth sailing.

Therefore, since the filming of "Batman", Simon has become more and more aware of the benefits of choosing the filming location in Melbourne. Australia's loose shooting environment relative to North America and the strong influence of the Johnston family gave him too much convenience during this time.

After breakfast, Joe Silver left to work on the set, and Simon returned to his hotel suite to start the day's work.

Today is March 21, Tuesday, and it's Monday in Los Angeles.

This past weekend, Daenerys Entertainment's Highgate Pictures' another new film "Sisters" was released. This "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​actress Jennifer Connelly starred in the film that was positioned as a youth sex comedy. The scale is 617 yuan, and the box office of the first weekend is 3.25 million US dollars. It is estimated that the box office in the first week will be about 5 million US dollars. The total North American box office is expected to be in the range of 15 million US dollars to 20 million US dollars.

After "Metropolis", this achievement is obviously excellent compared to "Sisters"'s $3 million production budget and the same $3 million publicity cost.

Simon added another point for Ella Deutschman.

However, after the New Year, consecutive "Blue Angels of Thunder", "Metropolitans" and "Sisters" all have 'average grades'. Recently, there have been some opinions in the media that Daenerys Entertainment has begun to move towards mediocrity, although the discerning person can see it. These three movies are not the mainstay of Daenerys Entertainment, but Simon is also very happy that more people in Hollywood have such a mentality.

Daenerys Entertainment's box office performance last year really put too much pressure on so many people that it's hard to be sure what's going to happen without a buffer.

After the three films, before the summer season, Daenerys Entertainment will continue to release "The Ghost 2" left over from the original New World Entertainment and "The Sid Sisters" starring Winona Ryder, two films. It is also not too pretentious, which is enough for Hollywood to buffer it hard.

In the study, Simon opened the hands-free and discussed the company's recent affairs with Amy, while reading various documents from Los Angeles.

After talking about the general business, when Amy heard about Meg Ryan's compensation plan to get rid of the option contract, Simon said: "2.5 million is 2.5 million, a very good number, this kind of thing Don't ask me again."

caa originally offered $5 million for the film "Flying Over Childhood" and Meg Ryan's super popularity after "When Harry Met Sally". The two sides fell out, and Daenerys Entertainment is also seeking $5 million in damages from Meg Ryan.

This possibility was not very likely.

Although she has already entered the first line, Meg Ryan's salary for the leading actress in a typical commercial movie is about two or three million dollars. When the income tax factor is factored in, the figure is significantly lower. $2.5 million is enough to drain Meg Ryan's remaining two films.

Moreover, the other party also participated in "Rocketman" as expected.

Compared with the high production budget, the "Rocketman" in my memory can only be regarded as mediocre at the box office. This time, Tom Cruise and Meg Ryan have been replaced, and it is difficult to say what the future box office prospects will be.

However, Simon is definitely not optimistic about the prospect of Meg Ryan participating in the film.

With the success of "Top Gun", "Rain Man" and other films, Tom Cruise is now in his prime, and the Hollywood super A-list actor is also beginning to show his habit of making all the films he starred in. Become a 'Tom Cruise movie' control.

Unless it's a big name like Dustin Hoffman in a Cruise starring movie, it's hard for other actors to have much leeway.

In memory, Universal, under the influence of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was ambitious to create a "Universal Dark Universe", and a "New Mummy" directly shattered most of Universal's ambitions.

Because of a wonderful script in which the mummy princess and the protagonist and villain are equally divided, under the changes that Cruise forced to add drama to himself, the 'Mummy Movie' has become another 'Tom Crew' s movie'.

This is talent.

And this approach actually maximizes

It is in Cruise's own interests, and as for the commercial success or failure of the film, if the price of success is that the supporting characters overwhelm the protagonist's light, then it doesn't matter if it fails.

"Rocketman", which is about to start shooting next month, will probably be the fate in Simon's view.

With the popularity of "When Harry Met Sally", Meg Ryan may get a good salary, but it is unlikely that she wants to find her own presence in this film.

It was almost noon. After Simon and Amy finished talking, they closed the latest movie data database development plan from Nancy Brill. Looking at Jennifer, who stepped forward to help him clean up his desk, he remembered something. He asked, "This Sunday is Easter, do you plan to go back to the United States to spend it with your family?"

Jennifer looked up at Simon and shook her head: "It's too far. I've already called my parents and I won't go back."

After the female assistant finished speaking, her eyes were still shining at Simon.

Simon resisted the urge to touch his nose, and sighed that the originally shy female assistant had also begun to be black.

It's hard to do.

As a very important holiday for Westerners, Easter is also a day for family reunion. Simon must accompany Janet back to the Johnston family mansion on Sunday. Although his relationship with Jennifer has been acquiesced by Janet, and the rest of the Johnston family have turned a blind eye to it, but if the time comes with a female assistant, it will be a lot of fun.

Just provocative.

Thinking of Raymond Johnston's face-loving personality, being kicked out is the lightest.

"So, um, why don't we have dinner together on Saturday night?"

After listening to Simon say this, Jennifer finally looked away, continued to clean up her desk, and said, "Everyone has already discussed, let's go to New Zealand together on the weekend."

"Uh, why didn't I know?"

"Can you go with me?"

"let me consider it."

Jennifer rolled her eyes at Simon, sorted out the documents, and left the study without saying hello.

The female assistant disappeared, Simon finally had no scruples, raised his hand and touched his nose, got up and left the suite with a wry smile.

The driver was already waiting downstairs.

Simon is going to the Johnston Holdings headquarters building to have lunch with Janet who is in charge of Cersei Capital over there, then spend another hour learning about Cersei Capital deals, and come back in the afternoon to start a new day of work on "Batman" .

The headquarters building of Johnston Holdings is located on Elizabeth Street on the north bank of the Yarra River in the city center. This is a 22-story conservative light brown building. Although it is not too high, the entire building is the property of the Johnston family.

The car drove into the underground parking lot of the building, and Simon got out of the car and walked towards the elevator. Instead of going upstairs with him, the driver would pick him up after 1.30pm.

Entering the elevator dedicated to the management, Simon pressed the button on the 22nd floor and stood in the center of the elevator to feel the feeling of slowly ascending.

However, the indicator light flashed to the 8th floor but suddenly stopped.

The elevator door opened, and Simon saw Veronica Johnston standing outside, wearing a black OL suit, her blond hair rolled up, and holding a stack of documents in her hands. The woman originally had a cold temperament that no strangers should approach, and the moment she saw Simon, it instantly melted into panic.

The atmosphere was a little stagnant.

After a moment of confrontation, Simon took the initiative to give way to the side, Veronica noticed Simon's movements, and walked into the elevator mechanically as if she had been ordered.

The elevator door closed automatically, and the familiar light fragrance came.

Simon looked at the elevator that continued to go up to the 22nd floor, and did not ask Veronica which floor to go to, and the woman obviously forgot about it.

When the elevator door reopened, Veronica found herself on the top floor, turned her head and glanced at Simon quickly, waiting for him to leave voluntarily before going down.

Simon didn't move, and asked, "It's lunch time, come together?"

Veronica was stunned for a moment, and said: "I, um."

When Simon heard Veronica's response, he didn't say much, and walked straight out of the elevator. Veronica hesitated for a moment, but followed out, and at the same time secretly restrained his mood to avoid being seen by Janet later.

Inside the offices of Cersei Capital.

When Simon entered the door, Janet was obviously losing her temper while holding the phone, and several staff members around were also trembling.

Seeing Simon, Janet smiled at him, then gave a few rude reprimands to the microphone, and then hung up the phone. He came over and was about to hug Simon, and found that Veronica, who followed him in the door, suddenly forgot about Simon, bypassing the man and running to his aunt: "Bingshan, why are you here, um, help you warm first."

Simon saw the woman hugging Veronica and acting like a spoiled child, and some black lines rose up on her forehead.

Veronica gently pushed Janet away, and said in a low voice, "I met Simon in the elevator, and I just wanted everyone to have dinner together at noon."

"Well, of course we want to be together," Janet said without doubting him, holding up her aunt's arm: "Simon scared you last time, this time let him apologize to you, oh, let's go out to eat. "

Veronica glanced at Simon.

I used to eat directly in the restaurant of the building, but Simon was also worried that someone would see any flaws, so he nodded and said, "Let's eat outside."

Having said that, Janet came over to hold Simon's arm again, and the three of them walked out together.

Entering the elevator just now again, Simon found a topic and asked, "What happened just now?"

"That idiot of Nowell of Fund No. 3, I asked him to close the short option portfolio of bank stocks as soon as possible in the morning. He wisely delayed it for an hour, and the income shrunk by 6.5 million. Hmph, if there is another next time , I'll turn him off."

In recent times, rumors of the Bank of Japan raising interest rates have intensified, and the Japanese stock market has been volatile as a result.

Many investors believe that the interest rate hike by the Bank of Japan will become an inflection point for the Japanese stock market, which has already reached its peak. Various transactions around the Japanese financial market have become more active recently, and bank stocks that are more vulnerable to the direct impact of interest rate hikes have risen and fallen more frequently.

Simon's style of operating Cersei Capital was conservative at the beginning, and the trading frequency was very low compared to many hedge funds. The trading team of the five sub-funds sometimes did not necessarily conduct a transaction throughout the day.

After Janet took over, the little madness in the woman's bones was completely revealed, and Cersei Capital was directly converted into a high-frequency trading hedge fund. Moreover, Janet also liked to use risky ultra-high leverage, and the woman even took Simon's establishment. Nikkei 225 futures long positions were reduced to $5 billion to free up more funds for other financial products.

Investors participating in Cersei Capital can only see the fund's net asset value report once a week, because the profit figures continue to increase, which is very reassuring to Janet's operation.

If those people knew about Janet's specific operation methods, they would definitely have trouble sleeping and sleeping. You know, the woman lost $36 million in just two hours on a foreign exchange hedging earlier in the month, but the loss was quickly made up in the afternoon session.

At last count, Cersei Capital’s net worth had risen to $1.85 billion, with a profit of $280 million. Relative to the initial $1.57 billion in principal, the profit margin is 17.8%, a figure that already exceeds the one-year return of many hedge funds.

As long as this profitability continues, Simon thinks Cersei Capital must be able to more than double before the Japanese stock market turns.

The three left the headquarters of Johnston Holdings and found a decent restaurant nearby.

The atmosphere of the lunch did not seem too cold under Janet's adjustment.

Because of Veronica's cold personality, the woman's 'as always' cold response at the dining table did not reveal any flaws. In order not to bother Simon, Janet doesn't like to discuss too much about the operation of Cersei Capital in private. Everyone just talks about some daily trivialities in a few words, but there is a kind of weird harmony between them.
