Hollywood Hunter

In the western suburbs of Boston, in a mansion in the rich area of ​​Weston.

It was the morning of May 11th.

on Monday.

Maria Bezruk continued to pretend to be asleep because she was shy when the man woke up, so she fell asleep again, and it was an hour after she woke up again.

Definitely can't stay in bed anymore.

Sitting up, the time is already a quarter past seven, and I can feel the light coming from the gap in the curtains. The east coast of the United States is sunny in early summer, and the temperature is also very suitable. The fragrance, Maria still felt a little hot in the face.

That little man stayed here last night. He didn't do the bad thing he should have done. He just let her and Ulyana play on their own, and then did another bad thing.

Gently covered his chest, wondering if it would be enough to feed the child later.

Glancing to the side, Ulyana Meretskova was sleeping soundly. This bad woman deliberately bullied her hard to please him last night. Maria couldn't hate her for no reason, and she was still cautiously worried about not worrying about her. .

He got off the bed softly, washed up, and went downstairs.

Today is Monday, and Maria has no class in the morning, but I remember that Ulyana has, and I will wake her up later. Maria is very pious and serious about being a teacher in a world-class school like Harvard. It is obvious that Ulyana is not that caring, but it seems... It seems that Ulyana's class is very popular with the students.

Because Maria taught the relatively small Ukrainian language, while Ulyana taught mathematics.

Moreover, even Maria, who has no ambition to win or lose, has to admit that even though Maria doesn't think she is much worse than Ulyana in terms of appearance, in terms of temperament, Ulyana can indeed leave her far away.

Simon has already eaten in the restaurant.

Maria was led by the maid to a small restaurant in the villa. The man was sitting at the dining table, with two baby carriages on the left and one on the right, each of which was looked after by a maid, and there was the sound of the baby whining.

Subconsciously, he quickened his pace and stepped forward, accurately arriving in front of his baby.

Maria glanced at the son in the stroller who was holding his little feet to his mouth, with a gentle expression, and a little uneasy in his heart, worried that he would think that he only cared about his own child, and turned to the other side to see him looking over , took the initiative to ask: "Mike will be 1 year old soon, can you come over to celebrate his birthday with him?"

Michael Westero, Ulyana's child, was born on May 20 last year, two months before Maria's Daniel.

Simon motioned for the woman to sit down beside him, and said, "Let me see the time, but it's very likely that I won't be able to come."

Maria was disappointed, which meant that her own Daniel, who had his first birthday on July 11, probably wouldn't be there either.

The waitress moved the stroller to the side and pulled out a chair for her. Maria sat down next to the man, responded to the waitress's inquiry about what to eat for breakfast, turned her head to look at him, and asked again: "You What have you been doing lately?"

Knowing that women don't really care about this matter, Simon smiled and said, "Busy, all kinds of busy, the daily life of billionaires, how about you, how are Victor and the others doing, and Annette?"

Maria followed suit with a gentle smile. She didn't feel the gap between herself and the man initiating the topic. It was obviously a good idea to talk to a mother who put most of her thoughts on her children to talk about the children who made her proud. At the beginning, the woman subconsciously talked about the children's recent trifles. Anton's spoken English is still a bit unsatisfactory! I'm a little worried. Konstantin likes to play basketball. I'm considering whether to hire him a coach, but I think basketball is too easy to pick up. Barabara.

It wasn't until Ulyana, who had just woken up and looked lazy but still looked like a queen, walked into the restaurant and sat down on the other side, that Maria stopped talking.

The dominance between the two is clear at a glance.

Maria occasionally feels that she should also resist, for example, which fund they jointly manage, she should also pay more attention to it, and the two children, at least Ulyana's own child, will definitely require her to spend more time, It’s just that every time these thoughts are quietly retreated in front of Ulyana’s natural and natural, and I comfort myself that it’s nothing anyway. Ulyana studies mathematics and may be better at managing money.

So it became what it is today.

Even Ulyana's other two children have to worry about Maria.

Those two little guys are also pitiful. They were sent back to Ukraine by Ulyana at first, but Ulyana's relatives didn't care much about it, and they kept asking Ulyana for child support. reason.

Maria found out about it by chance, inquired about the situation of the two children in Ukraine, reported to Cape Dume Manor, and took the siblings over by herself.

Ulyana made it clear that she didn't want to take care of it. Maria got angry with her once in a while before she let the woman accept her. However, she was still sent to a boarding school and could only stay for two days on weekends.

Maria has to send someone to pick her up every Friday, otherwise Ulyana will definitely forget about it.

Inside the restaurant.

Thinking of this incident, Maria came to her senses.

This is Ulyana's villa, look around, it's breakfast time, and it's Monday morning again, where are the poor siblings who were supposed to be here on the weekend?

No one was found, so she glanced at the other side through the man. Ulyana was talking to the man that they were in charge of the kitten.

When Jin was working on the project recently, when he saw her glance over, he just responded with his eyes and continued.

Maria could only be helpless, the child was apparently sent away by Ulyana in advance.

However, no matter how unconcerned this woman is, she will not just leave her child by the side of the road.

On the contrary, I had a little urge to complain to a man. Think about it or let it go. Men will definitely not like women who report in private.

It's nothing more than spending more time on myself, and it's not a big deal.

After breakfast, I thought it was a parting, so I asked carefully, and learned that the man will go to several universities here today to personally review some research projects.

Maria only had class in the afternoon, and she was looking forward to it. It would be great if she could be with him.

After all, he is her own man. Even in front of outsiders, Maria is always shy about this relationship, but now that he is the father of her own child, Maria unconsciously regards him as her reliance deep in her heart.

Still hold back this thought.

After all, there are still two little guys to take care of, and I have to talk to the maid hall here about where Ulyana left her siblings, and her own side, there are many things.

I thought that Ulyana, who had a class in the morning, would definitely not be able to go. When I sent the man away, I found that the man also got into the car. Maria couldn't help reminding her, and the reply was that she had already found a substitute teacher. , ask for leave today.

Watching the man's car leaving the gate of the manor all the way, Maria standing in front of the villa finally felt aggrieved.

Damn woman!

Boston not only has Harvard and mit, but also three other universities that are highly ranked in the United States, which together form the top five universities in Boston.

Simon's itinerary today is related to this.

In fact, it is still related to the 3G plan.

Simon has to personally participate in the review of some research projects related to the 3G plan. Of course, Simon can only be regarded as an observer. The review is mainly conducted by a dedicated team of experts, and Simon pays for it.

In one day on Monday, Simon was really non-stop. He completed 7 consecutive projects such as "hibernation mechanism of mammals" and "research on high-temperature superconducting materials". To East Hampton, Long Island.

The schedule has been arranged in advance, tonight will be reserved for Grace, and Bryce who came here for the last time.

Tuesday's daytime schedule was similar to Monday's, targeting several university-related programs on the New York side.

Simon is throwing money everywhere now.

So on Wednesday, set off again to return to the West Coast.

It's May 13th.

Two things, one is the opening of the 51st Cannes Film Festival. In addition to Zhang Guoshi's "Hero", Daenerys has also been shortlisted for two other films this year, and it is still a force that Cannes cannot be ignored.

The other one is about the other side of the ocean.

The local time is also today. China's CNOOC officially announced its plan to conduct an overseas IPO, and announced the list of cooperative investment banks. Among them, Wall Street's main focus is the Solomon Company that Simon has known privately some time ago.

It should be called Solomon Smith Barney now.

This is a new investment bank after the merger of Citigroup and Travelers Group, and the merger of its subsidiaries Salomon Brothers and Smith Barney Retail. At first glance, Smith Barney Retail seems to be a supermarket chain, but of course it is not. The retail here is the distribution of stocks and bonds.

Backed by the newly merged Citigroup and Traveler, two major financial and insurance giants, the strength of the new Salomon Smith Barney should not be underestimated, and CNOOC may also have taken a fancy to this point.

Simon just watched from the sidelines.

I know in advance that in addition to the early contact with the Westeros system, Goldman Sachs, Morgan, Lehman, etc. are also very interested, and finally gave it to Solomon Smith Barney, which actually offended many people.

Whether these people will do anything in private is conceivable.

After all, because of his current location, Simon's position is the Westeros system, not even that country, but himself. Therefore, even if he has a tendency, he will not do anything deliberately.

On the second day after returning to the West Coast, Daenerys Entertainment's first key film "LA Confidential" in this year's summer had its premiere at the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles. Director Brian De Palma, four leading actors and actresses , Hugh Jackman, Brad Pitt, Kevin Spacey and Nicole Kidman all dressed up.

Among them, even Hugh Jackman, who is the least famous, left a considerable impression on the audience as a handsome pastor in "Contact" last year.

This time he played a grumpy policeman and overwhelmed "Superman" Brad Pitt to become the first leading actor, which aroused widespread heated discussions in the media, so more and more people paid attention to this movie.

However, the key is actually the film itself.

On the second day of the premiere, the word-of-mouth ban on the film was lifted, and Simon personally checked it in private. The new version of "LA Confidential" is no less than the original version, and it does not repeat Palmer's previous "Black Dahlia". Unfortunately, the film's comprehensive media score reached 9.1 points, reaching the classic level, and the "Hollywood Reporter" also praised this as Brian De Palma's most outstanding film in the past 10 years.

On May 15th, Friday, "LA Confidential" officially opened on a large scale, and the number of screens reached 2,934, which is already a blockbuster-level treatment.

In addition, it is the week before the front station.

From May 8th to May 14th, what is worth mentioning is Fa Ge and Baige Wu's "Deadly Postcard"

", after all, is the cooperation of two of the most famous Chinese filmmakers in Hollywood, and has the foreshadowing of projects such as "Face Changing" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Compared with the cost of 30 million US dollars, as long as the follow-up of this movie does not take a big dive, the expected box office of around 40 million, even if it is not a surprise, is enough to satisfy Paramount. After all, such a result can be achieved by buying a little overseas. cover the cost.

After the box office of the first week was released, Paramount even celebrated a little on Friday night.

Entering the weekend, or back to Cannes, "Hero" premiered in Cannes this Saturday.

According to a common practice in certain film festivals, the earlier a film is released, the less likely it is to win an award. This time the Cannes Film Festival is expected to last for 13 days, and the director will not end until May 25. "Hero" will hold its premiere on May 16. When the film festival closes, it will almost be forgotten by the audience.

However, this is actually the effect that Daenerys Entertainment wants.

For the quality of "Hero", Zhang Guoshi is obviously very attentive. There is no doubt about it, but the distance from winning the award is really far behind. After all, compared with Zhang Guoshi's previous films, this "Hero" has a strong commercial atmosphere, and Cannes also responded to this I know very well that the acceptance of "Hero" into the main competition this time is only for the sake of attracting famous filmmakers, and at the same time increasing the popularity of the film festival.

As for rewards, it's impossible.

After all, last year's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has been given once, twice in a row, and everyone will have opinions.

Therefore, in the final analysis, this time is just a publicity for "Hero".

As for the possible impact on the film if the film festival fails to win the award?

It's actually not that serious.

In China, the investment of 30 million US dollars is equivalent to 250 million super blockbusters. Just this gimmick is enough for many people to enter the theater this summer.

In North America, Daenerys has also arranged a whole set of publicity plans. For example, Ang Lee and Zhang Guoshi will participate in late-night show interviews, interactive publicity, and the familiar faces of Westerners in the film. Cannes can only be counted as one Primer.
