Thanks to the addition of three little ones, breakfast time at Shell Villa is full of energy.

It's Monday, May 16th.

In the restaurant, there are a family of seven, Simon and his wife sit together as usual, Veronica is next to Melbourne, the female assistant is taking little Nick, but Janet is snatching Seattle by her side, and she is happy to teach the unusually precocious little girl to read the food and tableware on the table one by one, and occasionally reward sucking on a certain food, and look at the little Nick on the special baby seat opposite. The two little ones are only six months old, and they are completely fun, and they can't eat anything other than milk for the time being.

Staring at Seattle and tasting the taste of dragon fruit granules, and obediently spit it into the spoon, Janet praised it with a smile, and noticed that the little son on the other side looked at him with wide eyes, and poked the spoon across the dining table, and seduced: "Little guy, call Mom, call Mom, call Mom and I'll give it to you." ”

Little Nick obviously couldn't scream, just babbling, his little face full of anticipation.

Then, Janet decisively returned the spoon to her mouth, enjoying it. The little guy who was played by his own mother finally couldn't help it, and he cried out at once.

The female assistant gave Janet a helpless look, took the little guy out of the baby seat and gently coaxed her, lifted the placket to feed the child, and then stopped crying.

Janet glanced at the female assistant breastfeeding the child, glanced sideways at her man, and then turned to Seattle, like a wolf grandmother: "Does the baby want to breastfeed too?"

Seattle nodded slightly, her voice still soft, but her pronunciation was clear: "yes." ”

Janet immediately showed a triumphant expression, and shook her head with regret on her face: "No, I was eaten up by your father." ”

Feeling that even his eldest son on the other side was looking at him strangely, Simon could only pretend that nothing happened.

But I didn't expect Janet to be still bad, so she leaned into Seattle and whispered something in her ear, and then carried the little guy to the spacious dining table and said with a smile: "Go ahead." ”

The female assistant looked at her daughter on the table and said helplessly: "Jenny, don't make trouble, I can't feed the two children." ”

Janet smiled slyly, and nudged the little girl, who was obviously hesitant, and the child's pretty eyes glanced at both sides of the table, and then crawled towards Veronica.

Seeing her aunt's face change from surprise to ruddy, Janet finally gloated and slapped the table lightly.

Now that it has been clarified, the matter about Simon's life experience is no longer hidden from the female assistant, seeing her daughter heading towards Veronica, worried that she will be embarrassed, the female assistant wants to bring the child over first, but there is still a little bit of food in her arms, and she can't get up for a while.

Fortunately, Simon didn't wait for Seattle to reach his 'destination', he stood up and grabbed his daughter and handed it back to Janet, who was overjoyed.

Janet took the child, but did not encourage her to go to Veronica's side, and hugged the little girl with a smile and praised: "Cill is so smart, there is really no today, tomorrow Mom will feed you herself." ”

The female assistant felt the slightly strange atmosphere in the restaurant, took the initiative to find a more formal topic, and asked Simon: "Hillary Clinton came to our house at noon, don't you really plan to show up in person?"

Hillary, naturally, is Hillary Clinton.

The president's wife is here to act as a lobbyist this time, for the Hearst Group.

Washington may be indifferent to the Hearst Group, which is now being pushed by everyone, but it is impossible to ignore the more than 20,000 employees of the Hearst Group and the trade unions behind them, which means votes one by one.

Last Friday, several major print media unions jointly submitted a petition to the White House to intervene in the Hearst Group chaos, and after a brief communication between the White House and Los Angeles, Clinton sent Hillary Clinton to come to the scene today.

Simon had no intention of letting the Hearst family go.

Regarding the $1 settlement terms, Simon on the one hand is to take away any capital that may revive the Hearst family, and on the other hand, it is also to prevent the Hearst family from being cornered and choosing to lose both, after all, rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry.

People are always like this, as long as they have some hope, or think that they have room to turn around, they often don't go to extremes anymore.

Moreover, the hesitation of the Hearst family after Simon's 'offer' was completely expected by him.

Seeing the female assistant asking, Simon also knew her thoughts, and echoed: "Since it is the president's wife who is here, it is just right for you to entertain." ”

Both in the White House are smart people.

If Simon doesn't come forward in person, the other party should understand his mind and won't be entangled anymore.

Since the murder of Doris Ficher was exposed, it is impossible for the current Hearst Group to get out easily.

Simon's attitude is indeed the key to the matter.

The public crusade triggered by the murder of Doris Fischer is time-sensitive, just like Simon's memory of the News Corp wiretapping scandal, and the Murdoch family is still one of the most powerful media families in the world, and the same would have been true of the Hearst Group if it had not been for Simon's intervention. After all, the other party's instigation of the assassination of the president caused public outrage, and the result was only the closure of a newspaper.

However, at this time, on the basis of the murder of Doris Ficher, the Hearst Group also faced a comprehensive ban and lawsuit bombardment by the Westeros system, which is the most well-known, and the murder only served as a catalyst to accelerate the collapse of the Hearst Group.

If Simon can give up the full ban on the Hearst Group and agree to a quick settlement of the huge claims lawsuits, the Hearst Group will be able to breathe a sigh of relief, and it will be much easier to deal with the series of turmoil caused by the murder case.

From the beginning of March to the present, the Westeros system has actually been tossed for more than two months, all of which stemmed from the Hearst family's covert manipulation and exposure of the London girl incident, and the Hearst Group's wanton attack on Simon after the two sides tore their faces.

It's just because the current Westeros system is strong enough that the gossip exposed by the Hearst Group is far less egregious than a murder case, that it hasn't had too serious a substantial impact on the Westeros system.

However, Simon has also been struggling to cope in the past two months.

Many of the schedules that had been planned had to be cancelled.

Australia's "Suicide Squad" has been completed in April, and according to convention, Simon usually follows up on the DC Cinematic Universe project for at least a week, but this time he can't spare his hands to go to Australia at all.

From the initial little discord to the current deep entanglement, all stem from the entanglement of the Hearst family.

In the case of having an absolute advantage, if Simon still wants to take the initiative to let the other party go, then he can't forgive himself.

This time, even if the deep-rooted Hearst family can't be reduced to a poor egg all at once, Simon will completely remove the Hearst family from the media industry and lose the huge media empire that supports its hidden power.

Wealth and power have always gone hand in hand.

Without power, it will only be easier to continue to deprive a family of what little wealth it has left.

Simon's seemingly unintentional remark to Lydia Hearst when he entertained the Hearst mother and daughter last week was no joke.

After breakfast, Veronica will leave for New York in the morning, and Janet will also go over, and Black Rock Asset Management's merger of State Street Bank's asset management division is at a critical juncture. Because of the president's wife's visit, the woman postponed the trip until tomorrow, after all, she couldn't let the female assistant come forward to entertain her, Simon didn't care, and it was inevitable that Hillary would feel offended.

Simon is on his way to Daenerys Studios to start the day's work.

In order to avoid the super blockbuster "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" on June 3, last Friday, the summer season of 1994 officially opened.

On May 13, a total of three new films will be released in North American theaters, namely Daenerys Entertainment's Michael Bay's "Stargate", Columbia's Black Director Spike Lee's "Racial Love" and Disney's "When a Man Falls in Love with a Woman" starring Meg Ryan.

One of the most talked about is undoubtedly Stargate.

Since he was announced as the director of "Jurassic Park 2" in March, and was picked up to participate in directing the first Victoria's Secret show, Michael Bay's film Virgo has become the focus of many media discussions.

After several internal test screenings to roughly confirm the film's reputation, Daenerys Entertainment also decisively invested a $20 million publicity budget.

Counting the film's $30 million production cost, the total investment of "Stargate" reached $50 million, which is already a blockbuster level.

The new "Stargate" does have a lot of upgrades compared to the original.

Michael Bay made the most of the action-adventure style he excelled at later on a budget, and the plot was no longer dragged out, but in one go.

The film does not focus on creating the strange alien image of Jay Davidson, who is neither male nor female, but simply tells a high-concept story of human beings leading alien natives to fight against evil aliens and gain freedom.

Although it is a high-concept movie at heart, the film's use of the wormhole concept is still very rare in Hollywood, which has become a selling point of the film.

In terms of casting, whether it is James Spader, whose style is more suitable for literary films, or Jay Davidson, who became famous with "Crying Game", Simon has not been used again, and the casting basically follows the discussion of the main theme of American hero films, with an honest protagonist, a joking male supporting role, and an eye-catching vase.

In the past "Stargate", the heroine was a newcomer who was not well-known, and this time Simon personally designated Catherine Zeta-Jones, a famous stunner in Hollywood, the British actress who has unknowingly accumulated a lot of fame in recent years, and her slightly dark complexion completely fits the style of the alien aboriginal girl in the film.

After opening last Friday with 2,296 screens, Stargate reached a final media rating of 8.2.

The media and the public have been observing Michael Bay with a magnifying glass since the official announcement of the "Jurassic Park 2" project, so it is inevitable that it is naturally a little harsh, in this case, "Stargate" can also get an excellent media score of 8.2 points, and Michael Bay's first feature film is equivalent to handing in a perfect plan.

The box office of the film is even more satisfying.

On the first weekend from May 13th to May 15th, the box office of "Stargate" was as high as 25.63 million US dollars in the first three days, and it took only three days to achieve a big selling level of more than 10,000 in the museum, and it is expected that the box office will be around 36 million US dollars in the first week, which is significantly more than the other two blockbuster films "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and "Detective Plane Head" that Daenerys Entertainment has launched in 1994.

As of May 12, "Four Weddings and a Funeral", which has been in theaters for 13 weeks, has a cumulative box office of $100,455,000,000, becoming Daenerys Entertainment's first film to break 100 million at the local box office in 1994. This past weekend, "Four Weddings and a Funeral" collected another $680,000, bringing the cumulative box office to $105.23 million.

This literary romantic comedy has maintained a screening scale of 563 screens until now, although the box office is about to fall below $1 million in a single week, with the film's strong reputation and long-term trend, it is not a big problem to continue to earn $5 million in the future, and the final domestic box office will reach about $110 million.

Not only that, but "Four Weddings and a Funeral" has done an even better overseas box office, with a cumulative overseas box office of $153 million as of last week, and is expected to break the $200 million mark, with a global total box office of $300 million.

With a production cost of $5 million and a box office return of $300 million, "Four Weddings and a Funeral" almost locked in the highest-grossing film of 1994.

Another Jim Carrey comedy, "Detective Plane Head", as of May 12, has grossed $77.26 million in five weeks of release.

However, this past weekend, affected by three new films such as "Stargate", the box office of "Detective Plane Head" fell by 31%, only $4.13 million in three days, and the box office is expected to be about 6 million for the whole week. Considering that the decline will continue to accelerate after entering the summer season, this comedy, which has a cumulative box office of $81.39 million as of last weekend, has a total domestic box office of $90 million, and the possibility of breaking 100 million is already very small.

Moreover, because it focuses too much on the vulgar comedy style of the United States, the overseas box office of "Detective Plane Head" is not very good, only $33 million as of last week, and the total overseas box office is expected to be about $50 million.

The global total box office expectation of $140 million, compared with the total investment of $25 million in the film, is of course a big profit, but Simon knows Jim Carrey's box office appeal and can only wait for "Strange Jack in Disguise" at the end of the year to look forward to it.

As for the inability to break 100 million in China, Simon is actually not a pity, more than 90 million US dollars and a box office of more than 100 million yuan are of greater significance to the actors.

Moreover, because of Jim Carrey's restless behavior after his sudden fame, it is just right for the box office of "Detective Plane Head" to stop at more than 90 million US dollars. Simon is not a stingy person, if Jim Carrian divides the points, after the successive "Detective Plane Head" and "Disguised Monster" are big sellers, Simon will definitely take the initiative to give the other party a big red envelope.

Now, the comedian has just become famous and is making a fuss about terminating his contract with Daenerys Entertainment, then, unfortunately, the other party deserves nothing.
