Simon and Anthony discuss various topics in the near future, until nightfall, when Janet comes over and calls them for dinner.

There were only four people at the table tonight: Simon, Melbourne and Anthony.

Jennifer flew to New York in the morning, saying that she was going to spend the weekend with her parents, in fact, to avoid Anthony, who was coming to visit. Veronica went to Finland on Monday to oversee the statistical review of Nokia's 1993 financial report and will return tomorrow. The other two little ones couldn't do without the crib at this time.

After dinner, the family continued to talk about more relaxed matters, and at eight o'clock, Anthony left to rest in a villa in nearby Westeros. The matter here has been dealt with, and he will return to Australia early tomorrow morning.

Putting Melbourne to sleep and taking him to his room, Janet looked at the other two little ones before going upstairs to the bedroom.

Simon was already sitting at the head of his bed with his laptop on his lap and checking today's email.

After taking a shower, blowing his hair dry, changing into a simple pajamas, he fell on the big bed with a fragrant face, rolled a few times like a little girl, and then crawled next to Simon and looked at the computer screen with the man.

This is an email sent by Amy Pascal herself in the afternoon, about the results of negotiations for a film project called "Apollo 13".

The screenplay of the project is adapted from the story of the miraculous return of three astronauts from space after the launch of the Apollo 13 lunar spacecraft in 1970, and the film will be directed by veteran Hollywood director Ron Howard, and continues to work with Tom Hanks, with a budget cost of $50 million, tentatively scheduled for next summer.

In my memory, this is also a very high-grossing film in the 90s, with a global box office of more than $300 million.

Tom Hanks' salary this time increased from $8 million for "Sleepless in Seattle" last summer to $10 million.

"Apollo 13" is a group drama, and Hanks's single salary of $10 million is a bit high, but Simon does not intend to veto it. Not to mention that Hanks is about to become a god in Hollywood after "Forrest Gump", from the early "Red Fang Alliance" to the upcoming "Forrest Gump" released in this summer, the two sides have cooperated very happily for many consecutive times, and it is reasonable that they should give each other a salary of tens of millions of dollars.

And, from "The Philadelphia Story" to "Forrest Gump", Simon will also personally ensure that Hanks creates an Oscar-winning miracle just like he did in the original plane.

Many people in Hollywood always think that Daenerys Entertainment is not generous enough in terms of actors' salaries, but over the years, Simon is also confident that he has never treated anyone badly.

thinks that the salary is too low, and Hollywood only has seven big studios to choose from, and it is not to cooperate. I think Daenerys Entertainment makes too much money, of course, there are sharing contracts, but you can't get a full basic salary and want to share the terms, Simon doesn't have such rules here.

Janet was obviously not interested in these things, and after a few glances at Simon, she said something else: "There are only 181 of those little vases you raise in a week, and at this rate, they will all be eliminated soon." ”

It's not just the fruit Nana group in London, seeing their daughter's treatment like a princess, many parents can't help but put forward additional conditions.

Simon was not polite at all, and all the girls whose parents were not at ease were all removed.

Typing out a short affirmative reply to Amy, Simon clicked on another email and said, "I don't want these girls to be tied up too much by their parents, and I don't want them to come and harass me in the future. ”

Jenny nodded, and said, "Then you might as well have chosen from the orphans, and there would be no trouble." ”

Simon shook his head and said, "It's too sensitive, I don't want to be treated like a human trafficker." ”

Janet rolled her eyes and said, "Or I'll do it." ”

Simon tilted his head against Janet's head, "Didn't you do it still me?"

"Uh-huh," Janet echoed Simon's movements, "I'm you, you're me." ”

Simon smiled and recited a familiar Chinese phrase: "I have you in the mud, you have me in the mud." ”

Janet's Chinese has unconsciously reached a deep accomplishment, but although she understood this sentence, she did not understand the meaning and asked, "What?"

Simon remembered that this poem "My Nong Ci" was written by Zhao Mengfu's wife Guan Sheng in order to dissuade her husband from marrying a concubine, and immediately decided not to explain it too much to Janet, and said simply: "It is an ancient Chinese poem that describes mutual love." ”

Janet blinked, "Where's the whole song?"

Simon thought for a moment and said, "I don't remember clearly, only these two sentences." ”

"Oh?"

"Well, the whole word goes like this. You and me, you and me, have a lot of affection......"

Simon read the whole word throughout.

"That's a good song," Janet listened carefully, her eyes shining at Simon, "Is there any problem?"

Simon lightly slapped it on the laptop, and instantly machismo possessed: "No!"

"Huh. ”

Janet smiled and rubbed on Simon for a moment, and no longer asked, glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the laptop, and suddenly said: "It's time for the leprechaun over there in London to get up, look, let's see." ”

"What is there to see when the little girl gets up?"

"Let's see. ”

Simon was shaken by Janet a few times, so he had to close his browser mailbox, click on the monitoring software to bring up the picture in London, the display effect of the 12-inch high-performance custom laptop is far inferior to the high-definition picture in the underground monitoring room of the villa, and the sound cannot be synchronized.

The scene cuts to the practice room on the ground floor of a London villa.

The remaining 7 girls in this group are lying on the ground practicing basic skills under the guidance of the ballet teacher, Janet also learned a little ballet when she was a child, and knows that this is the most basic ground body training, mainly to correct the girls' body posture and lay the foundation for future formal training.

Ballet is a very professional dance, and those ballet classes that start teaching formal dance movements after just a few lessons are completely chaotic, and practicing too much is harmful.

Although the girls are very lightly dressed, Simon has little interest in a group of young girls who are difficult to hide.

Well.

It's a good teacher.

Simon has always felt that the standard blonde Slavic girl with blue eyes and melon seed face is the closest creature to an 'elf', which is not the fruit Nana, and the Russian girl with a round face and dark hair should be traced back to the Mongol invasion of Eastern Europe, so Ukraine, which was once on the edge of the Mongol Empire and was not over-assimilated by Western Europeans, still retains relatively pure Slavic blood.

Most of the 100 girls Simon selected in Eastern Europe were selected according to the 'elf' selection criteria. However, the ballet teacher in the picture is obviously more of a standard 'elf', and the key is to be an adult.

Janet had reached the point where she could understand the changes in her man's thinking and mood at a glance, and was originally looking at a group of goblins, but at this time she also looked at the dance teacher, and quickly said, "This woman is a problem." ”

"Huh?"

"Something must have happened. ”

The team responsible for cultivating the waitresses of the Wei family is strictly selected, not only does it require an excellent personal resume, but also conducts corresponding background checks, and Simon doesn't want people with ulterior motives to get involved.

Hearing Janet say this, Simon said directly: "I'll have someone check it out." ”

Janet glanced at Simon, no objection, but snorted twice with a 'I know what you're thinking'.

Simon pretended to be puzzled and smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Janet didn't chase after her, and said, "I found out all the 12 goblins you treated specially." ”

As soon as the girls were selected, Janet discovered the 'specialness' of girls such as Natalie Vodianova and Carmen Keys.

Simon didn't deny it when he was broken by Jenny.

11 girls, all of whom are supermodels from memory.

Collecting a handful like this can very satisfying Simon's evil taste in his heart that it is absolutely impossible for others to know.

But.

Well, wait.

Thinking so in his heart, Simon subconsciously asked, "Twelve?"

"At least 12. ”

Janet said, thinking that there was something she hadn't discovered, so she simply reached over and found the girls' files, and identified them one by one.

Five on the European side, yes.

'Fruit Nana': Natalie Vodianova, 12 years old.

'Empress Eugene': Eugenia, Volodina, 10 years old.

'Card God': Carmen Keys, 16 years old.

'Big KK', Carolina Kukova, 10 years old.

'Ann Gongzi', Anya Rubiko, 11 years old.

Six on the Latin American side, yes.

'Ji Niangniang', Gisele Bundchen, 13 years old.

'Lady Fang', Isabelle Fontana, 11 years old.

'AA', Alexandre Ambrosio, 12 years old.

'Hall of Wolves', Adriana Lima, 12 years old.

'IG', Isabel Goehler, 10 years old.

'FT', Fernanda Tavares, 13.

All 11, except for the last Fernanda Tavares, who is almost famous, the others are called nicknames and abbreviations, and they all know which one they represent.

By the end of the identification, Simon also understood why there were 12.

Gisele Bundchen and her sister Patricia Bundchen are twins, and the two sisters were sent to modeling school by their mother together in the information, and submitted their resumes together last time.

So it became 12.

Without denying the results of Janet's selection, a few words of ridicule, it was already late, Simon reopened the monitoring software and transferred it to the children's room, and the installation of monitoring software on the laptop was mainly for this purpose.

Tonight's vigil was the housekeeper Alice's group of two girls named Mila Maxwell and Emilia Blake, and the picture happened to wake up crying in Seattle, and Mila on shift walked into the room, carefully checked the child, changed into a new diaper, and patiently waited by the small bed for the child to fall asleep again.

The couple looked at each other for a moment, and Simon turned off the monitor and turned off the lights to rest.
