Although carefully dressed, Simon can still easily spot Meg Ryan's obvious eye bags and deep nasolabial folds, and his skin does not have the luster that a 26-year-old woman should have, and even looks like an overworked housewife in her thirties.

Having been in a similar circle for two lifetimes, Simon naturally knew what Meg Ryan's state at this time meant.

CAA agent Josh Lieberman, who was sitting next to Meg Ryan, noticed Simon's expression, and quickly took the initiative to interrupt the silence in front of him, saying, "Mr. Westeros, Meg and I have carefully studied the script of "When Harry Meets Sally", and Meg is happy to play the role of Sally. However, as far as we know, the investor of this film has not yet been determined, so what is Daenerys Pictures going to do?"

"The film will start shooting in September at the latest," Simon replied, retracting his gaze from Meg Ryan and looking at Josh Lieberman, "If you can't find a collaborator, Daenerys Pictures will personally invest in the project." ”

Hollywood filmmakers have a very common rule: never invest your own money in a movie.

When Josh Lieberman heard Simon's answer, he couldn't help but label Simon as a 'stunned green' in his heart, but he nodded on the surface and said, "Since that's the case, we have no problem." ”

"Now, then, on my question," Simon turned to Meg Ryan again and said bluntly, "Miss Ryan, are you addicted to drugs?"

As soon as Simon looked at her, Meg Ryan was a little apprehensive.

I thought it would be a very relaxed meeting, but this young man, who is said to be less than 20 years old, unknowingly put more pressure on her than those studio executives.

Hearing this, Meg Ryan immediately shook her head: "Of course not." ”

"In that case, let's do a drug test," Simon said lightly: "As long as you can pass and don't need to audition again, this role is yours." ”

Meg Ryan suddenly glanced at the agent next to her.

Josh Lieberman coughed awkwardly and took the initiative to defend his client: "Mr. Westeros, I can guarantee that this aspect of the problem will definitely not affect the filming. ”

Simon shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lieberman, your guarantee isn't worth $15 million." ”

After last year's "Top Gun", although she only played an inconspicuous small role in it, it was not so difficult for Meg Ryan to get another film contract. Most of this, though, is just a supporting role.

The heroine of a big production with a budget of $15 million is still a little far away from her. Therefore, both Josh Lieberman and Meg Ryan are taking this opportunity very seriously.

At this time, Josh Lieberman felt Simon's strength, hesitated slightly, and suddenly said, "Or, Mr. Williams, you can talk to Meg alone." ”

After saying this, before Simon could answer, Josh Lieberman had already stood up sharply, and without giving Meg Ryan a sneaky look, he walked out of the office.

Simon watched Josh Lieberman leave, just smiled, looked at Meg Ryan on the opposite side again, and still asked mercilessly: "Which ones do you use on weekdays, do you have injections?"

"Of course not," Meg Ryan squinted at the closed door, then at the villain-like young man opposite, paused, and then raised her hand to make a slight gesture for smoking, "Only, only occasionally, Mr. Westeros, I am not addicted to drugs." ”

Simon looked at the woman opposite, still a little hesitant.

With a production budget of $15 million and a possible investment in "When Harry Met Sally", Simon would never risk such a huge amount of money.

In my memory, although Meg Ryan was not affected by this aspect and began to become popular two years later, Simon did not dare to guarantee that the appearance of his butterfly would change some things.

Meg Ryan noticed Simon's hesitation, remembered the look in his agent's eyes when he left, then looked at the young man opposite, thought for a moment, and quickly said, "Mr. Westeros, perhaps, we can have dinner together later, and then we will discuss this matter carefully." ”

Hearing this, Simon raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Ryan, I already have an appointment." ”

Now that she said it, Meg Ryan stopped squirming and said, "Tomorrow night is fine." ”

Simon smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Unfortunately, I also have an agreement tomorrow night." ”

Meg Ryan felt the young man staring at her brightly, and felt a little more embarrassed in her heart, but this embarrassment quickly turned into some kind of inexplicable rebellion.

Quickly determined, Meg Ryan got up and turned the coffee table, then knelt down on the carpet at the man's feet, and reached for Simon's belt.

Simon felt the smell of the woman in front of him, raised his hand to stop the other party's movements, and said, "Okay, sit back." ”

Meg Ryan didn't give up and insisted on reaching over, and Simon had to grab the woman's arm and push it gently.

And then.

Meg Ryan fell backwards straight to the ground, curled up, and looked at Simon with a wistful gaze.

Touch the porcelain.

Helplessly muttering in his heart, Simon leaned on the sofa, crossed his legs, and was too lazy to support the woman on the ground, and said, "I wanted to talk to you about the script." Now, though, two things: first, do a drug test, and I'm going to make sure you haven't touched something. Second, after confirming the matter, I will arrange an audition for you. As long as you pass, until the film starts shooting, you have to come to work at Daenerys Pictures every day, 9 to 5, don't stay up late, don't go to nightclubs, don't touch those things again, and do regular maintenance. Sally is a very delicate woman, and you can only get to the state I need now by relying on regular living conditions and regular maintenance. ”

After Simon finished speaking, seeing that the woman was still lying on the stall, he simply got up and said, "I think about it, let's come back tomorrow." ”

It wasn't until Simon walked to the door that a voice came from behind him: "Tomorrow is Saturday." ”

Simon opened the door and said without looking back, "Or, it's okay if you don't come." ”

Back in the audition room, Simon continued to work until the evening, then left Daenerys Pictures headquarters and headed straight to a mansion halfway up Beverly Hills.

Simon did have an appointment tonight, a party at Robert Redford's house, and the main purpose was indeed for another character in "Vulgar", boxer Butch Coolidge.

The original Butch Coolidge was played by Bruce Willis, and Simon really didn't have much feeling for Bruce Wesley. This time, he has his eye on another guy who has played the role of 'boxer'.

Of course.

It's not Sylvester Stallone.

With a budget of $8 million, I can't afford Stallone anyway now.

Simon wanted to invite Robert De Niro, who had appeared in films such as "The Godfather", "Taxi Driver" and "Raging Bull". Robert Redford happens to have a good relationship with Robert De Niro, so he agrees to introduce him at tonight's party.
