San Francisco.

The city of Palo Alto, where tech companies gather in the southern part of the Bay Area.

When he arrived in the United States in January, relying on the rich technological human resources in Silicon Valley and the financial support of Westeros, Tim Berners-Lee quickly built the basic framework of Igret.

The headquarters of Igret is located in a three-story white building on Thurman Street east of Stanford University.

After returning from Europe, Simon has been in close contact with Tim Berners-Lee by phone, and just in time today, he flew to San Francisco to personally check out this crucial technology company in his own layout.

Tim Berners-Lee personally welcomed Simon to the headquarters of Igret Corporation. The two entered the lobby on the ground floor of the office building and stopped at the same time.

The hall is a horizontal rectangle, and the area is not large.

Outside the reception desk, the most striking thing is the phrase on the wall behind the reception desk, which is inlaid on the wall with different colored letters: you know nothing.

Satisfiedly stopped and looked at it for a moment, Simon noticed that Tim Berners-Lee, who was beside him, looked at the phrase on the wall and seemed to be planning to say something, and quickly stopped: "Tim, don't say anything, you can't do it anyway. to understand the true meaning of this sentence.”

Tim Berners-Lee nodded slightly, but still said: "I just think that this sentence is a bit of a wake-up call to the world. No matter how hard we try, our understanding of the world is still shallow."

Simon was about to laugh. He felt that he couldn't bully honest people too much, so he forcibly held back and patted Li on the shoulder: "That's right, so let's go in."

Tim Berners-Lee noticed the strangeness in Simon's expression, but didn't look into it.

The two came to the office area on the first floor, and while introducing Simon to the staff he just hired, Li explained the results of his work in the past month.

"I have completed the most basic technical framework scheme of the World Wide Web, and submitted patent applications to major countries in North America and Europe. Simon, this is Michael Levy, he is the leader of the first floor team, mainly responsible for improving html and technical standards such as http.”

The Internet (intercom) is a broad concept that only formally took shape in the 1990s.

The World Wide Web was conceived by Tim Berners-Lee, which is the www (world wide web) technology, which can be said to be the foundation of the Internet. After many years, most of the web pages that ordinary people can access will start with www , this alone is enough to show the importance of www.

After communicating with the staff on the first floor, the two came upstairs.

The area of ​​this three-story building is not very large. Igret Corporation currently counts Tim Berners-Lee and has a total of 39 employees, so the building seems a little empty. However, Li plans to expand the staff size to 100 in the next few months, divided into several teams responsible for the development of browser software, web design software and basic technical protocols.

Simon didn't set too strict a timetable for Igrit. However, according to Li's plan, Igreat will only need six months to complete its two core products, which are browser software for users and web design software for developers.

In fact, software development is indeed not as high as ordinary people think.

As early as when he was working in Europe, Li had already completed a very primitive web browser software in his spare time, but that software required users to set various connection parameters by himself. 'Home', 'Download', 'Favorites' and other functions.

The next goal of Igreit is to develop a "dumb-style" GUI browser. When Simon and Li met in Geneva, they provided him with a mature GUI browser design idea in his memory.

The two walked between several teams on the three floors and brought Simon to the office. Tim Berners-Lee enthusiastically introduced Simon to a prototype of a website he recently built, the technology used It is his past accumulation. Although the website in front of him can only display the basic profile information of a group of employees that Igreat has recently hired, Simon can confirm that this should be the world's first network using the http protocol and html language. site.

Simon still has a lot of work to do, but he just stayed in Palo Alto for a morning and had lunch with several key employees of Igret, and then he flew back to Los Angeles.

Daenerys Entertainment's Falcon business jet landed directly at a private airport in the valley.

Arriving at the nearby Warner Studios, Simon just got off the car in the parking lot and was about to go to the center of the later stage, when a white car drove in.

Noticing the figure of a certain woman in the cab, Simon wanted to leave without seeing it, but after hesitating for a moment, he stopped. The white car chose a parking space and stopped. Today, Renee Russell, who was wearing a black wide-shouldered long dress, stepped out of the car and turned to look at Simon.

Seeing that the little man hadn't left, Renee Russell closed the car door and walked over with a brown satchel.

However, when she came to the front, the woman hesitated again, not knowing whether to shake hands with him or hug him. She hesitated in her heart, but with a smile on her face, she greeted, "Simon, good afternoon."

Simon nodded, turned and walked out of the parking lot.

Renee Russell followed naturally, resenting the little man's inexplicable indifference, but did not dare to express it.

Come.

After a moment of silence, Simon asked, "What are you doing here?"

"The script reading meeting for "Goodfellas" is in the administrative building."

"Oh."

Simon responded, remembering this.

Martin Scorsese's new film "Goodfellas" is funded by Warner, which is actually why Simon can easily squeeze Renee Russell into the film crew. Warner Bros. was initially dissatisfied with Scorsese's decision to cast Ray Liotta to play alongside De Niro and Joe Pesci, arguing that Ray Liotta's reputation was too low.

As the first heroine of "Goodfellas", if it wasn't for Simon's recommendation, Renee Russell's performance qualifications for only one film work would certainly not have been able to get this role.

Robert De Niro is still busy with the promotion of "The Sixth Sense", and "Goodfellas" is scheduled to start in July. However, today is June 21, and it is indeed time for the actors to officially rehearse.

The two got off the car at the parking lot of the North Gate, because it was a working day and there were many people in the studio.

Renee Russell has always been by Simon's side. Hearing that almost all the pedestrians on the way took the initiative to say hello to him, his bodyguards also blocked several men and women who wanted to come up and talk to him, and inexplicably felt some pride in his heart. . As the vase beside him, she could clearly feel the envy of the girls passing by.

After all, this is Westeros.

In recent weeks, when almost everyone thought Daenerys Entertainment's "Bodyguard" would be a box-office failure, the film's soundtrack album has created a miracle of selling more than one million copies for two weeks in a row. Moreover, at the box office, in the last weekend of the third week, "Bodyguard" fell only 11% compared to last week. In two and a half weeks, the cumulative box office has exceeded 56 million US dollars.

With only a slight decline of a dozen percent for two weeks in a row, Renee Russell remembered an article in The Hollywood Reporter on Monday that the North American box office estimate for "The Bodyguard" had reached $120 million.

In comparison, "Ghostbusters 2", which had almost double the box office of "Bodyguard" in its first week, dropped by 55% in the next three days. Such a deep drop made "The Hollywood Reporter" give "Ghostbusters" a high priority. 2's North American box office forecast is only $100 million.

Renee Russell remembers a comment about The Bodyguard in The Hollywood Reporter very well.

Lawrence Kasdan, the gold-medal screenwriter who has created Raiders of the Lost Ark and Star Wars, has been rejected more than 60 times over the years after he completed the script of "Bodyguard" in the 1970s. I don't like this project.

However, the script fell into the hands of Simon Westeros, and while everyone still didn't like the movie until after it was released, "Bodyguard" unexpectedly created a miraculous soundtrack sales, solid for several weeks. The box office figures also far exceeded everyone's expectations.

The Hollywood Reporter commented in a tone of admiration that the film was largely due to Simon Westeros, a young man who seemed born with a gift for miracles.

At this time, she could walk with him under the envy of many other women.

Although he was very indifferent to himself, she knew that following him out of this small road, the news spread, and her future development in Hollywood would be a bit smoother.

Hollywood is really superstitious about authority.

"Goodfellas" had a budget of $25 million, which isn't exactly the bottom line in Hollywood. It is said that if De Niro hadn't agreed to participate, Warners would never have approved the project, even if the director of the film was Martin Scorsese. Now, because of Simon Westeros' attention, Warners and beyond seem to have a little more confidence in the project.

In several recent meetings, whether it was "Goodfellas" director Martin Scorsese or the film's producer Irving Winkler, both intentionally or unintentionally asked her about Simon Westero's opinion on "Goodfellas" Guy's script. She is a woman with no roots in Hollywood. During this period of time, she has not encountered some of the encounters of many unknown actresses. They all take her for granted as Simon Westeros. lover.

Originally, I was a little worried that others would despise me because of this status, but I gradually realized that most of the people who knew about it were just envious.

During some chats in the circle, she also learned that, compared with many big names in Hollywood, the young man beside him who became famous is actually very restrained in his private life, and there are actually very few women who can walk by his side. So you can see how lucky she is.

Are you lucky?

Perhaps, she was not a naive woman when she was reborn. In the face of such a reliance that could make her career easier, she would not refuse. After 35 years of life, she has long lost the idealism of young girls, and she is even more aware of how rare it is to encounter such an opportunity in this circle.

only.

Most people probably don't know that she and he have actually only met twice in the past few months.

Um.

Count today, three times.

The administrative area of ​​the studio is in the southeast corner, but the center of the later stage arrived quickly.

Seeing that he wanted to walk directly into the center of the later stage, she felt more resentful, but she could only take the initiative: "Simon, you, um, do you want to have dinner together at night?"

Simon stopped, looked at the woman next to him, and shook his head: "I'm a little tired today, let's talk about it next time."

Watching him walk into the center of the later stage, there is even a faint urge to shed a few tears.

bear it soon

.

There are several people around who are looking at themselves, how can they lose their temper. It is more likely to lose his temper for a hateful man who is so much smaller than himself.

Too boring.

So he took a deep breath, smiled at the pair of men and women who were looking at her, put the satchel on his shoulders, turned and walked towards the administration building as if nothing had happened.

Carelessly busy all afternoon.

In the evening, Simon did not meet Renee Russell when he left the studio, but Scorsese came to his studio in the afternoon to say hello.

When he arrived at the Burbank branch of Daenerys Entertainment, the female assistant was already waiting for him to report on some things that needed his attention today.

After Columbia Pictures announced that "Sex, Lies and Videotape" was set for July 7, Universal Pictures also announced today that "Paradise Cinema", which won the Cannes Palme d'Or, will be released on July 28.

Many things have changed.

"Sex, Lies and Videotape" failed to win the Palme d'Or, and the marketing measures taken by Colombia were not as effective as Miramax in Simon's view. It is difficult to say how the film's box office progressed. As for "Paradise Cinema", choosing the schedule at the end of July is even more of a misstep in Simon's view.

The original "Paradise Cinema" was re-edited when it was released in North America. Now, in just two months, Simon doesn't think Universal can carefully re-edit this film, if it still follows the 2.5-hour version. It's even more unpredictable when you show up.

What's more, the original time and space Miramax also released the film in the era of the awards season, largely with the help of the marketing company of the awards season, which got a good box office. Universal Pictures apparently didn't expect this.

These thoughts just flashed through his mind, and Simon left them behind.

After get off work, I always leave Burbank and drive through the streets of Los Angeles.

Suddenly remembered Janet's advice when leaving Melbourne.

Girls love surprises.

Moreover, after leaving Melbourne for so long, I really have to go back to see women.

So there was no further hesitation, and he didn't even plan to go back to his residence. He just instructed Neil Bennett in the front row to take continuous flights and plan to fly directly to Australia at night.
