In the next room with a terrace, Amy Pascal sat on a sofa on the terrace surrounded by a group of women, feeling the cool mountain breeze in Los Angeles at night, and after a playful joke, she concluded: "That's it...... We talked very well with each other, that kind of spiritual fit, and he has a lot of life experience, and he is also funny, and he can always find all kinds of topics when we get along, in short, he is the right person. ”

Janet leaned back on the sofa with a glass of red wine, facing Amy, with a little teasing and reminding: "But, Amy, the age difference between the two of you is too much, and, that, how is his health?"

That's a bit blunt.

Amy glanced at Janet embarrassedly, and simply looked at Jennifer on the other side of Janet: "Jenny, why did you come out to the party today?" Heh, in recent years, everyone has always felt that you have been locked up in the villa by Simon, forbidden to go out, and can only keep watching the children do housework. ”

Jennifer hadn't answered yet, and Janet had already preemptively said: "It's not like this, it's actually locked in the basement, not given food, beaten every day, I stole the key from Simon today to bring Jenny out." ”

Everyone laughed.

Not counting the two maids of the Wei family, Zoe and Isabel, who served on the side, there were a total of six women on the terrace.

In addition to the two Jennies and Amy, who just arrived, there are also Nancy Brill, a small children executive of Daenerys Entertainment, Sandra Bullock, who has known Simon for a long time and has always been a close personal friend, and Robert Iger's second wife, Willow Bay, who just married last year.

Willow Bay is in her early Chinese New Year's Eve, has blonde hair, and was a host before marrying Iger with a good temperament. Because of the same age, and Iger took the initiative to help his wife pull the strings, he can sit here at this time.

In fact, there were many executives and celebrities at the party who brought their families over, but either the age difference was too big or they couldn't talk together, except for Willow Bay, the others couldn't step into this small circle that was far less open than the men next door, at most they just came to say hello, say a few words, and then get to know each other.

After resigning from Simon's assistant position a few years ago, Jennifer, who was concentrating on running the family and taking care of several children, did rarely participate in various social activities.

Speaking of which, Simon appeared with two Jennies tonight, which really surprised many people.

Even though the relationship between the female assistant and Simon has long been known over the years, after all, it is a bit unjustifiable, and Simon's doing this tonight is tantamount to publicly admitting the fact that there is a certain house and two wives.

However, it was only a slight surprise.

After all, most people subconsciously take all kinds of unreasonable deviances of the superior as a matter of course. What's more, the relationship between Simon and the two Jennies is no longer even gossip, it is an obvious fact. Even if there is no need to be jealous of Simon's identity, various gossip media are too lazy to render this outdated news.

The circle is even more accustomed to this.

Listening to the laughter around her, the female assistant poked Janet's waist on the nonsense, looked at Amy and said, "Don't change the subject, Amy, everyone is talking about you." ”

"That's it, nothing else," Amy saw that the female assistant threw the ball back again, spreading her hands, as for the pregnancy, everyone already knew about it, so she changed the topic again: "You are both out, who is watching the children, is Sophie here?"

Jennifer shook her head and said, "No, it's Winnie, she's coming from Australia over the weekend." ”

"Oh. ”

Amy nodded, she and Veronica were familiar with each other, and she knew that Janet's aunt had always been single but liked children very much.

Seeing that Amy couldn't dig up anything here, Janet turned the finger to a small child executive on the other side: "Nancy, Amy is getting married, you, um, the one in Silicon Valley, what's the matter, do you want to send you flowers, I remember there is also a director of Knightreed?"

Nancy Brill was looking at the party crowd downstairs, took a sip of red wine, shook her head, and said, "I'm busy helping your husband make money all day long, how can I have time to think about such a thing." ”

"Oh, I understand," Janet squeezed her eyes, "you've been quietly in love with Simon for a long time. ”

Nancy glanced over, arrogantly ignored it, and continued to look downstairs.

At first, there was indeed some vague affection, after all, a young man was too dazzling and full of aggression. However, as the Westeros system continued to expand, Simon focused more on other aspects and lowered his focus on Daenerys Entertainment, and the opportunities for contact between the two sides inevitably decreased significantly.

Time can always kill too many things.

Nancy has always had no shortage of suitors around her, whether it is a technology elite in Silicon Valley, an executive of a Fortune 500 company or an heir to the old money family, everything is available, but none of them can impress the hearts of beautiful women.

In fact, it is mainly Nancy's instinctive resistance to men and women, because of certain upbringing, coupled with her height, so that in short, the only guy who has knocked some cracks in the door of the little children's executive's heart has not gone further, and the others are in vain.

Janet didn't chase after her, laughed, and talked to everyone about some topics that are indispensable when women are together, fashion, beauty, fitness, travel, etc., as well as some small and easy little gossip.

"The scenery of China is indeed beautiful, and, Simon said, it is mainly because there is thousands of years of cultural heritage in that land, just like any famous mountain, we may just be a mountain here, but there are many legends and ancient poems in China. So, Amy, when you and Bernard are on their honeymoon in September, I suggest you take the time to visit China, and I will personally arrange a professional guide for you when the time comes. ”

"Okay," Amy agreed, seemingly unintentionally, "I heard that Simon has formed a Chinese dance team?"

Janet's eyes narrowed slightly: "Do you want to see it?"

Amy pretended to laugh nonsensically, "Just a little curious." ”

Amy said this, except for the two Jennies, the other girls also listened with a pricked ear.

The matter of the Guofeng Art Troupe, which has little attention in public, is very famous in private, but most of the arguments are inclined to this is another proof of someone's absurd private life.

Janet said: "Actually, Simon plans to arrange for this art troupe to tour at the end of the year, and he is now choreographing. Since you want to see it, I'll let them fly over tomorrow, well, it's going to be performed here, and it happens to be a mansion on the edge of the cliff, and we can watch it directly here. ”

Everyone was surprised, but they didn't expect someone to plan for this art troupe to go on a public tour, and they thought it was just a private confinement.

So the little flame of gossip and curiosity in my heart suddenly died down a lot.

Curiosity is still for sure.

Amy said: "It's better to be at the staff center of Malibu Studios, where the stage works better, and tomorrow is still Sunday." ”

Jenny nodded: "Yes." ”

Sandra chimed in, "Jenny, don't you need to ask Simon?"

Janet's soft body, which has been practicing yoga for a long time, twisted on the sofa, changed her posture and said, "I didn't discuss it with him." ”

Amy suddenly raised her eyebrows: "The mood is not right." ”

Sandra also quipped: "Quarrel?"

Janet raised her chin slightly, and stared at Sandra like a queen: "Little Sandy, you don't have a chance." ”

Sandra smirked: "Yes, yes, I'm not in a hurry, after all, I'm still so young." ”

So a cushion flew over.

Jennifer smiled and watched Janet play petty, of course she knew, in fact, it was still the one at home at this time, and it always made Janet itch her teeth for a certain guy inexplicably.

After a few laughs, Janet was a little angry, and asked Isabel to bring her mobile phone and call Angel Davis directly in New York, and asked her to arrange for the girls from the National Style Art Troupe to fly over tomorrow.

The night is getting darker.

After ten o'clock, the guests began to disperse, and the party was already very relaxed and uninhibited.

Simon didn't hide upstairs and talk to a group of bigwigs all the time, and went downstairs at nine o'clock to socialize for a while.

Afterwards, he did not go home with the two Jennies.

Kicked out of the house tonight.

According to Janet, he has no shortage of places to go anyway.

A living room on the first floor of a mansion villa.

Simon is discussing "Changing Face" with the obviously excited White Dove Wu, next to Kate Beckinsale, and on Kate's other side is Rachel Weisz, after Janet leaves, the two girls who have been grinding until now can finally get close to Simon.

John Wu sat respectfully on the single sofa next to Simon.

"Maybe you've heard that Wu, James's "Titanic" has been postponed again, for the sake of insurance, we have decided to push this movie to the end of next year, the vacant schedule of "Titanic", I hope "Changing Face" can make up for it, which requires you to speed up the pace of production, so, do you have a problem here?"

From "The Ultimate Target", which was the first to test the waters, to "Broken Arrow", and then to the recently released "Mission Impossible 2", all three consecutive movies have been successful, and the box office is better than the other.

Hollywood is the most realistic place.

As long as you can make blockbuster movies, you're God. In addition to this, the color of the human race and the skin are all floating clouds. Therefore, even if the contract for the next film has been finalized, Bai Ge Wu is still trying his best to win over and flatter various Hollywood studios these days, which can be called the pinnacle of his life.

However, in front of Simon, the director did not show any complacent arrogance at all: "Of course not, Simon, in fact, according to the rhythm of my work in Hong Kong, a year is very sufficient. ”

"Very good," Simon nodded with satisfaction, of course he knew the Hong Kong director's fast gunner attributes: "In this case, as for the actor, I have seriously considered it recently, let's use Pete, there is no need to delay any longer." Once you've finalized your core role, you can also focus on other aspects of the project. ”

Hearing this, John Wu hesitated slightly, but nodded again in agreement.

It's not that I'm not dissatisfied with Brad Pitt.

This superhuman actor is actually very good at acting, and he also has a temperament that is both good and evil, so he is very suitable for the role of Custer in "Changing Face". It's just that now after all, he is not as good as before, and he is also a first-line director, and Bai Ge Wu began to hope to have more say in the film project in his heart, instead of being decided by others.

Perhaps, the next film is a good choice to work with other studios.

After chatting for a few more words, Bai Ge Wu got up and said that it was not too early and planned to leave.

Simon sent the white pigeon Wu outside the front door of the villa, waited for the other party to leave, raised his wrist to look at the time, it was already past 11 o'clock, and was about to say something to Kate and Rachel, who were silently following him, when a group of big goblins rushed over.

Fernanda Lima and Heidi Krum grabbed Simon's arm left and right, and quietly squeezed Kate, who was just standing next to the man, out of the way: "Simon, are you leaving? ”

The goblins are shrewd.

quietly paid attention to Janet Westeros leaving, but Simon didn't follow, and realized that there was a play tonight, so he kept an eye on it. Seeing that the time was about the same, he decisively ran to grab people.

There are six of them, and they are still very competitive.

Simon smiled and agreed, and then turned his head to Kate, who had just been disappointed when he heard the words: "Kate, Rachel, you guys come along, and by the way, tell me about the filming of "Soul Catcher". ”

When the two women heard this, Kate opened her mouth slightly, and Rachel's eyes widened.

Six plus two.

Bastard, can you stand it?

Although he complained so much in his heart, he didn't know if it was because of the desire to win under the provocation of the eyes of the six big goblins or something else, so he followed someone into the car for some reason, Rachel actually refused a little, but unfortunately he was held by Ketra and couldn't escape. Fernanda Six was supposed to pull Simon into their luxurious extended Lincoln, but Simon still sat in his own black Mercedes, with Rachel and Kate on the left and right, so the two women inexplicably felt that they had won the game.

Beverly Canyon is a community in Beverly Hills, located on the west side of Beverly Hills, bordering Bel Air.

Simon and his party left Palisades and headed east along Sunset Boulevard, where traffic was becoming less and less trafficked at night, and arrived at their destination in less than half an hour.

This is a mansion that is also located on the edge of the cliff and occupies a larger area than Palisades, and it is obviously not the only six of them that Fernanda said, and there is a complete team of maids and guards here, which is not deserted.

Kate Beckinsale got out of the car with Simon by the arm, looked up at the exaggerated white-walled, blue-roofed two-story villa in front of her, and suddenly remembered a personal gossip about another legendary billionaire, Howard Hughes, who was said to be hiding more than 100 lovers in the Los Angeles area.

Now that I think about it, someone might be even more exaggerated than Howard Hughes in this regard.

At least, the mansion in front of me is a lot of handiwork.

Even Kate's own residence in Los Angeles was arranged by Simon, a sea-view villa located on the south side of Pepperdine University in Malibu, more than 10 kilometers away from Cape Dume, of course, it was not comparable to Cape Dume's estate at all, but it was enough for her to live comfortably with a guard and a guard, and she had planned to pull Rachel over tonight.

Right now.

Well.

What's next?

When Janet left, the baby-faced Zoe, who was in charge of Simon's life, arrived a little early, skillfully took over the team of waiters, arranged for Simon's bodyguards to live in the annex, and summoned the housemaid to do some security checks.

The elongated Lincoln, of the six great goblins, arrived at last, got out of the car and surrounded him again.

Kate didn't react to Palisad, of course she wouldn't be humble this time, and motioned for Rachel to occupy Simon's other side, Rachel always felt that she shouldn't be here, thinking about what was going on, but she still followed Kate's eyes and signaled to do so.

Simon led everyone into the villa and asked Kate, "If you want to drink something, you don't have to be afraid of getting drunk here." ”

Kate tilted her face to look at the man, "Simon, you want to get me and Rachel drunk?"

Simon laughed: "I never do anything with a drunk woman, it's too boring, and it smells, and if you vomit, it's a shadow for life." If you're drunk, I'll stay away from you. ”

Kate made a disgusted expression: "I have a shadow of what you said." ”

"But it's okay to drink a little before bed. ”

Saying that, he has entered the villa.

Kate pointed to the inner courtyard, "I want to swim." ”

Actually, on Palisad's side, I thought, but she wasn't as open as a bunch of big goblins.

"No problem. ”

Simon was very talkative and said to Zoe, "Help Kate and Rachel prepare two sets of swimsuits." ”

Rachel: "......"

Did I say anything?

The pool here is bigger, and the mountainside mansion on the other side of Palisades is only one acre, and here you can just look at it, more than three acres.

Los Angeles has a Mediterranean climate and cool summer nights, with temperatures only around 15 degrees.

Under the guidance of the waitress, the two women first went to take a shower, and then changed into swimsuits and came out, and the pool was already very lively.

Without outsiders, the six big goblins are even more open, and they don't even need swimsuits, they are directly natural mermaids, and the sound of frolicking and laughter comes from afar.

Moreover, there is a faint mist in the pool at this time, like a ...... Water vapour?

Know that this is a heated pool.

It's just that the open-air heated swimming pool with an area of at least 500 square meters costs electricity when you look at it.

Approaching, Simon sat down on a chaise longue, also changed his clothes, draped in a cotton bathrobe, and handed them two wine glasses: "Taste, vodka, which is said to have been previously only available to the top of the Soviet Union in Moscow." ”

Kate took it curiously, obviously didn't notice the smile on the corner of Simon's mouth, took a sip of it to her mouth, and immediately began to stick out her tongue: "It's so spicy, Simon, you're too bad." ”

Rachel tasted it too, and almost coughed it out as well.

At this moment, a group of mermaids swam up again, swiping their heads by the pool at Simon's feet.

Simon patiently handed the elves a glass of wine, and said to Kate, "You guys are not used to it, just drink it a few more times." ”

The goblins lying by the pool were also spicy and stuck out their tongues, and a certain little fox put the cup aside, not going to drink it again, and found a problem, tilted his head and asked, "Simon, why don't you drink it yourself?"

"It's too spicy, just watch you drink it. ”

“......”

The elves looked at each other, gathered a little, and suddenly reached out together and dragged Simon into the pool.

Amid the laughter, the already steaming water of the pool seemed to boil.

Kate and Rachel glanced at each other, took off their bathrobes, walked a little farther, and carefully slid into the water, the right temperature of the water immediately made people want to call out comfortably. Moreover, such an exaggerated thermostatic bath is much more comfortable than taking a hot bath in a bathtub.

Although.

Simon and the six big goblins, who were frolicking together not far away, what happened next really made people blush and want to escape.
