Give me a reason

Taking off the little black dress on her body, Sandra Bullock put on the plaid shirt and jeans again, took a picture in the mirror, and found with a bit of distress that she still wears this suit more pleasing to the eye.

However, if you just go to the celebration party of "Lola Run", you will inevitably be hyped by the media about tomboys, and you may even be suspicious of sexuality.

Suddenly became famous, and suddenly discovered that the original media are so full of imagination. Every action, every word and deed of oneself can be interpreted all kinds of messy things.

However, think about that guy, his own experience has been very good.

Thinking of this, I ran out of the bedroom, took out a large stack of recent newspapers from the grid under the coffee table in the living room and looked through it with interest.

"Simon Westero left the crew of "Blood Corpse Night" early. Producer Edward Feldman thanked him for his contribution to the crew."

"Simon Westero moved to the mansion of his mysterious girlfriend, Malibu, and began a sweet cohabitation."

"Janet Johnston's identity is revealed, the daughter of a mining tycoon, and her family wealth exceeds $2 billion."

"Simon Westero and Fox Pictures have reached a new film cooperation, with a box office guarantee of $20 million."

"The internal trial screening of "Butterfly Effect" was rumored to be ineffective. Simon Westero was silent in the face of media inquiries."

"The "Butterfly Effect" is scheduled for Easter, and Simon Westero attended the press conference."

"Simon Westero met Pat Kingsley, a well-known Hollywood publicist."

"Brother's girl's smart investment, Janet Johnston owns 61.5% of "Lola Run" and is expected to earn more than $30 million."

"Simon Westero Palisades visited the house and planned to move away from his girlfriend's mansion. The relationship between the two might change."

"..."

Sandra was looking around with interest, the door opened, and an ordinary-looking brown-haired girl came in holding a shoebox. Seeing Sandra was still wearing the original shirt and trousers, she stared. Said: "Sandy, why haven't you changed your clothes? It's already past six o'clock, and the party starts at seven o'clock."

Reluctantly putting down the newspaper, Sandra stood up and spread his hands at the assistant named Gina Kross, whom Jonathan had just hired for him recently, and said: "Gina, I still think I am more pleasing to the eye in this suit."

"Then you will be laughed at by a lot of media tomorrow?"

Gina Kroes made such a complaint, then he pulled Sandra into the bedroom again, and then handed her shoebox over, saying: "Quick change, I have already called the car for you, and we will leave in ten minutes. I'll fix your makeup in the car."

After such a busy time, after all, I changed into that black low-cut dress and stepped on black high heels. I hurriedly left the apartment in West Hollywood and rushed to the Century City Intercontinental Hotel in Century City in Beverly Hills.

Today is Saturday, March 7.

In the previous week from February 27th to March 5th, "Run Lola" won a total of $15.56 million in the box office with 536 screens, easily winning the North American box office leaderboard last week.

Now that it has won the one-week box office championship, Orion Pictures also launched "Run Lola" on the east and west coasts of North America yesterday. The number of screens has increased to 1,176 yuan at one time. The responses from the coastal states and counties were also very strong.

So, at the suggestion of that guy, Orion Pictures chose to hold a celebration party for "Lola Run" this weekend.

Sandra and Gina sitting in the specially rented courtesy car outside the Century City Intercontinental Hotel were a little dumbfounded.

Although there is no red carpet, the hotel is still crowded and huddled with reporters. The two women didn't know whether they should get off the car like this. The reporters also obviously noticed this hesitant courtesy car. They crowded around and started taking pictures directly at the closed car door.

Fortunately, it was just a stalemate for a while, and several security guards in the hotel voluntarily ran over, and they protected Sandra and her assistant into the hotel together.

Until she stood in front of the media photo wall in the hotel lobby, Sandra still had some lingering fears, but she had to show a decent smile patiently.

After signing and taking photos, I came to the hotel banquet hall.

It was obviously late when she arrived, and the banquet hall was already full of people.

However, he saw a guy at a glance.

Simon was taking Janet and talking with Mike Meadowa, noticed Sandra's arrival, nodded to Mike Meadowa, and walked over.

Coming to the front, Simon gently hugged Sandra and said with a smile: "Sandy, you are so beautiful today."

"Thank you, Simon," replied with a bit of embarrassment. Sandra quickly turned around and hugged Janet. By the way, she glanced at the lady's very expensive burgundy evening dress and said: "Jenny today It's also very beautiful."

Even though she said so nonchalantly, Sandra couldn't help feeling sour in her heart, and she felt a little bit like an ugly duckling.

Suddenly became famous, the attention seems to be a lot higher all of a sudden, these days are also a lot of film appointments. But in fact, her life is very tight. The evening dress she wears is actually rented. If her parents hadn't temporarily loaned her 20,000 US dollars for emergency, she would never be able to hire an assistant.

Alas, the **** guy, he earned so much, but he only paid her $5,000.

miser!

I muttered in my heart, but found that I couldn't show it anyway, and foolishly joked with him.

So silly.

After chatting for a while, Simon noticed a 30-year-old woman in a dark blue evening dress coming in at the entrance of the banquet hall, so he talked to Sandra and was about to leave. After thinking about it, he whispered to her: "Sandy, after a while, "Run Lola" will make money, and I will give everyone a bonus. However, if you are short of money recently, you can also find me in advance."

Suddenly he was a little dazed, and he was guilty.

day.

He must have seen his mind.

What a shame.

He shook his head quickly: "No, Simon, I, huh, I don't have as much money as you need to spend."

Simon just smiled, raised his hand to pat Sandra's shoulder, and said: "Then you can play slowly, I have something else."

Watching him leave with his girlfriend, she felt a little itchy on her bare shoulders.

Look around.

No one seems to notice here.

Suddenly I felt aggrieved and wanted to find someone to talk to me.

Mom, he touched me.

Simon left Sandra and came to the woman just now, looking at the woman who had been tit-for-tat against him for three days before, smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Good evening, Amy, are you here alone?"

The woman's name is Amy, Amy Pascal, and the current vice president of Fox Pictures. To be more accurate, it should be the vice president of production, just like Peter Sanders before.

Simone inquired that Fox Pictures was helmed by Ronald Goldberg, followed by a series of vice presidents. Among them, closely related to the film include three vice presidents of production, two vice presidents of marketing, and other vice presidents of administration, vice presidents of venues, and so on.

Perhaps it is also clear that Peter Sanders is unbearable. In this "Death is Coming", Ronald Goldberg dispatched Amy Pascal to negotiate a specific contract with Simon.

The US$8 million production budget, the US$20 million North American box office guarantee, absolute control of the project, 10% North American box office share and 5% video tape sales share. These conditions have been knocked to death.

However, the two parties still have a lot of details to discuss in terms of the future schedule of the film, the scale of release, and marketing investment.

From Wednesday, for three days, compared to Peter Sanders, Amy Pascal's shrewdness and sufficient strength left a deep impression on Simon. Moreover, Simon also knows something about the future development trajectory of this senior woman. In the original time and space, Amy Pascal belongs to one of the few female heads of Hollywood's major film companies, and has been in charge of Sony Pictures for more than ten years.

Simon is currently looking for a professional manager for Daenerys Films, and the woman with sufficient abilities in front of him is just right.

Amy Pascal was always a little confused about receiving Simon's invitation to a party tonight, but he rushed over. He shook hands with Simon and Janet respectively. Hearing Simon's question, he replied: "My boyfriend went to New York on a business trip, so I can only come here."

Simon nodded and said, "Then let's go in and talk."

The three walked into the banquet hall together, greeted everyone and chatted casually.

After a while, Amy Pascal took a glass of champagne handed over by Simon, and saw his girlfriend walk away without a trace. Then he said: "So, Simon, can you talk about it? Why did you invite me this time? Party? I don't think our contact in the past few days was a great experience for you."

"That's your job. If you can't fight for your employer, maybe there won't be my invitation."

Amy Pascal raised her eyebrows slightly, but said with some regret: "Unfortunately, I didn't get too many favorable conditions for my employer."

Simon shook his head: "This is not something you can change. Within your authority, you have done well enough."

Listening to these words of Simon, Amy Pascal expected something and felt unbelievable, so he looked at the young man before him and waited for him to continue.

Simon didn't go around the corner anymore, and said directly: "Amy, that's it, how about coming to work for me?"

Suddenly, and a little surprised, Amy Pascal looked at Simon up and down, and did not refuse, but said: "Give me a reason, Simon, a reason to work for you?"
