Chapter 449 Baby shower

Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

Unable to sort out the many issues involved in 'surrogacy', Simon shook his head directly to dispel Janet's thoughts.

The thoughts in my heart, the things in the future, I will talk about it in the future.

Early the next morning, Cape Dumay began preparations for the noon baby shower.

Simon was sent by Janet to meet the Johnston family at the airport at about ten o'clock in the morning. It was lively at noon, and then Simon was kicked out by Janet in the afternoon.

Including all the men at the party.

The reason is that the afternoon is girlfriend time.

Of course, I understand Janet's thoughts. Women don't forbid him to have contact with other people of the opposite sex, except for one person.

After taking Patrick Johnston for half a circle around Daenerys Studios, Simon drove him to play casually, and he didn't have the heart to accompany the children.

I casually spent the afternoon in the office. When I came home in the evening, Janet was sitting on the carpet in a living room of the villa, sorting out the gifts brought by the guests today. She was surrounded by a lot of gift boxes. She was in a good mood. appearance.

Simon also sat down on the carpet, helped unpack the gift box, and casually chatted with Janet about trivial matters.

Picking up a beautiful cartoon-style music box and looking at it for a moment, she complained about Sandra's inability to choose gifts. Janet said suddenly, "I discussed something with my aunt this afternoon."

Simon untied the tie of a gift box without raising his head: "Huh?"

Janet said, "Auntie promised to help us take care of the children in the future."

Simon paused, looked up at Janet, and said, "How could you have such an idea?"

"My aunt can't be single all the time, so I thought, if I let her help me with Moore for a while and realize what it's like to be a mother, maybe she will find a man to marry."

Simon's eyes flashed, and he started to play with the gift box in his hand casually again.

A small hand next to him reached out and poked his shoulder.

Seeing that the man didn't respond, he poked again.

Simon turned his head sharply and bit him, Janet immediately smiled and retracted her little paw, and changed the subject: "Dear, what are we going to eat at night?"

"Wait, I'll do it for you."

Janet pouted and said the truth: "Actually, what you made is not delicious at all."

"Pregnant women should eat lighter food. Carrot and white rice porridge is very good."

"But, does the baby need nutrition?"

Simon turned his head to look up and down at the woman beside him, and said with a smile, "You are overnourished now."

Janet couldn't bear it: "Well, you actually said I was fat!"

"I did not say."

"You just think I'm fat."

"Okay, I think you're fat."

"Wow……"

Janet suddenly leaned over and bit Simon's arm with her mouth open.

Pregnant women naturally gain weight, not to mention Janet has been pampered.

However, Janet's foundation is very good. Even if she is plump, she is already seven months pregnant. In fact, it has nothing to do with the word "fat".

Allowing Janet to grind her teeth on her arm for a while, Simon saw that she didn't seem to have any intention of letting go, reached out and grabbed one of the woman's wrists and held it gently, as if a switch was triggered, the woman's body suddenly softened, and her teeth softened. He also let go, and leaned against him softly.

Veronica Johnston lives in Janet's original villa on the east side of the Dumay Manor. Patrick Johnston took his girlfriend to the city and obviously won't be back tonight. Dinner is still Simon and Janet both.

Continued to spend the day with Janet on Sunday, and a new week of work began.

The box office for the first weekend of the Halloween schedule has also been officially released.

Three days after the opening of the painting, the box office of "Scream 3" finally reached 27.11 million US dollars in the first weekend. Compared with the opening screen size of 2,672 yuan, it achieved a big sales level of over 10,000 per museum.

Although the final chapter is still carefully crafted and the budget has reached 30 million US dollars, but a routine has been used three times, and the reputation of the film is naturally unsatisfactory.

Moreover, although the start is not bad, neither Daenerys Entertainment nor the outside media are too optimistic about the next box office trend of this sequel.

Released at the same time as "Scream 3" is John Hughes's new film "Best Q File", which tells the story of a homeless man and an orphan girl who form a partner to 'swagger'. It is still John Hughes's story. All kinds of fixed routines, and it also obviously follows the style of "Home Alone" that was a big hit last Christmas.

Because of the success of "Home Alone", John Hughes' status in Hollywood has risen to a higher level. This "Best Q File" has no big-name stars, but the budget has reached 30 million US dollars.

However, the quality of the film is obviously unsatisfactory. Otherwise, this film that is more suitable for the year-end schedule would not have been thrown by Warner into the relatively inferior Halloween schedule.

"Best Q File" still failed to bring any surprises to Warner.

With 1,634 opening screens, it only made $4.97 million in the first weekend and three days, and the box office in the first week was only about $6 million. It is estimated that the total North American box office should be between $20 million and $30 million, which is at most the same as the film’s production budget.

After the success of "Home Alone", John Hughes has hurriedly produced two similar children's films this year. The "Ghost Elf" in the summer season was even more dismal at the box office, with a budget of 17 million US dollars.

In July's popular schedule, the total North American box office was only $4.6 million.

The consecutive losses of the two children's films have basically exhausted the aura that John Hughes won with "Home Alone".

John Hughes signed a very lucrative profit sharing contract in these two children's films. Now, both films have ended in losses. Apart from the basic salary, there is no way to talk about the sharing. of filmmakers are also beginning to turn more attention to the production of Home Alone 2.

In my original memory, "Home Alone" was both the peak of John Hughes and the beginning of John Hughes's passing in the 1990s. Some movie techniques have been used for too many years, and the audience has suffered from aesthetic fatigue.

With the opening of the Halloween schedule, a series of film lists for the annual schedule have also been completely finalized.

Thanksgiving and Christmas, Daenerys Entertainment, including Universal Pictures, will launch a total of four films, namely "Toy Story" and "Cape Terror" in the Thanksgiving period, and "Terrorist" in the Christmas period. "Farewell to the Piano" and "Fried Green Tomatoes".

"Toy Story" and "Piano Love" are self-produced films by Daenerys Entertainment. Green Tomato is a project taken over from Universal.

After "Cape Fear" and "Fried Green Tomatoes", Universal's distribution department will be officially abolished, leaving only Universal's production label.

Not only that, in a few years, the production label of Universal Pictures will also be completely integrated by Daenerys Entertainment.

Although it is a classic label that has lasted for more than half a century, the current Daenerys Entertainment also has the strength to replace this brand.

In this world, nothing lasts forever.

Malibu, Daenerys Studios.

After this period of discussion, the director of "Midnight Bell" was finally determined, named Philip Noyce.

Simon has roughly browsed the box office report of the past weekend, and has been discussing the production details of "Midnight" with the director in the morning.

Last time I explained that Danny Morris can choose some promising new directors. Philip Noyce should be considered a newcomer in Hollywood, but he is not young. The director is 41 years old this year.

Simon took a fancy to each other mainly because of the director's resume.

Philip Noyce is from Australia. He began to be interested in movies at a very young age. He made his first movie at the age of 18. He has been in the Australian film circle since then. He did not intersect with Hollywood until two years ago. The rafting thriller "Across the Horizon" starring George Miller producer Nicole Kidman.

Yes, choosing Philip Noyce still has the human factor of George Miller and Nicole Kidman.

However, if the director does not have enough strength, of course Simon will not use the other party.

Philip Noyce not only has a professional background from a professional film school, but also has experience since the age of 18. There is no doubt about his personal strength.

Moreover, in the original time and space, Philip Noyce also directed blockbusters such as Harrison Ford's "Patriot Game" and Angelina Jolie's "Agent Short", although these things have not happened yet, but this It is also enough to prove the director's film skills.

In addition, Philip Noyce has also tried horror movies. Although it is not a Hollywood movie, it is enough to direct "Midnight".

As a 'newcomer' who has only tried one Hollywood movie, Philip Noyce cherishes this opportunity enough.

After Danny Morris contacted him, the director also made a special trip to Japan and spent a few days discussing the film's plot style with Koji Suzuki, the author of the original novel of "Midnight Bell", and by the way, he also gave a brief introduction to Japan. Horror movies do a lot to understand.

Many well-known film directors made amazing films in the early stage, and gradually became mediocre in the later stage. In Simon's view, Jiang Lang's talent is only a small part of the factor. The key is that after a director has become famous, his mentality changes, and he will not be able to do it again. I put so much effort into my work.

After more than two hours of interview, Simon instructed Danny Morris to discuss signing a contract with Philip Noyce.

After dealing with this matter, Simon just opened the list of patents to be implanted in the World Wide Web Consortium Foundation from San Francisco when the female assistant knocked on the door: "Boss, Ms. Johnston is here."

Simon didn't react: "Huh?"

"Veronica Johnston."

Simon paused, nodded and said, "Let her come in."

The female assistant retracted her body from the door, the door was pushed open, and Veronica Johnston, who was still in a black female corpse ol suit today, walked in.

Looking at Simon who didn't get up behind the desk, Veronica stood not far from the door and said softly, "Me, the plane in the afternoon."

Simon and Veronica looked at each other, gestured to the sofa in the reception area, and then continued to look at the list of patents in their hands.

Veronica no longer expects Simon's attitude to change too much, so she walked to the sofa and chose a seat facing Simon to sit down.

After a while, the female assistant brought in the coffee and noticed the strange atmosphere in the office, but it was because Simon gave Veronica's snub to the man behind the desk, put down the coffee, and sat down in the reception area.

After chatting with Veronica for a while, and there was still work in hand, the female assistant could only get up, and when she left, she used her eyes to signal Simon not to be too cold to the guests.

Of course, the female assistant didn't understand why Simon and Janet's aunt got along so strangely, but she instinctively felt that Simon should be more friendly.

Jennifer left, and the atmosphere in the office still didn't change much.

Veronica drank a cup of coffee quietly, hesitated for a moment, and asked softly, "I promise Jenny, do you know?"

Simon nodded.

Seeing that Simon didn't speak, Veronica didn't know how to continue for a while.

Fortunately, he finally didn't speak coldly to himself this time.

Janet's suggestion yesterday to ask Veronica to help take care of the child was just a whim. Veronica agreed, but deep down, it was out of some kind of guilt or compensation.

I once failed to take responsibility for myself, and now, this is some small compensation.

Although……

After another moment of silence, Veronica put down the empty cup and planned to leave, but suddenly she couldn't help asking a doubt that had been buried in her heart for a long time.

"Back then, the Levinsons, why did they disappear? You...how did you end up in San Francisco alone?"

behind the desk.

Simon silently flipped through the documents in front of him, but frowned slightly, as if recalling some memories he didn't want to remember.

There is plenty of light in the office.

However, at a certain moment, Veronica felt that Simon, who was not far away, seemed to have fallen into some kind of cold shadow, and this feeling even made her heart stop.

Snapped--

The pencil snapped.

A certain atmosphere dissipated in an instant.

Veronica still sat there dumbfounded. I don't know how long it took. It seemed that it was very far away, but it was actually very close before a voice came: "Let's go."

Inexplicably, Veronica's eyes overflowed with uncontrollable tears again.

She raised her hand to cover her mouth, trying her best to keep herself from crying.

It's just that the tears couldn't be held back no matter what, and they quickly converged on the cold face and turned into the gap between the palm and the face.

Simon looked at the document in his hand silently until he had read all the dozen or so pages of documents. He looked up at the woman who had calmed down a little over the sofa, and said, "Come with me for lunch."

"Um."

Simon got up and walked to the door.

Veronica carefully watched the distance, got up and followed quietly.

Realize that you may be overlooking, or simply don't know, too many things.

There is absolutely no way to make up for it.

How is it possible to make up for it? !

Deep down in my heart, I made up my mind to never, ever, never mention certain things again.
