Hollywood Hunter

After the fundraising reception that night, the media did not immediately break the news of Rudy Giuliani’s improper remarks during the Milken case investigation. Instead, several New York newspapers appeared in interesting reports about the fundraising reception. .

James Rebold was not surprised by this.

David Dingkins called him again on Sunday evening, expressing some kind of gratitude in words, indicating that the other party had confirmed the availability of the information he provided, which was enough.

The mayoral election is held in November at the end of the year, and the most effective revelation must be used near the vote to achieve the best results.

In the new week, Westeros' reduction of technology stocks, which lasted for more than a month, has been completely completed, and the planned six technology stocks have all been liquidated.

Six technology stocks, including Apple, lost about 6% of their value in this reduction compared to their stock prices before the reduction. The total cash-out capital of Westeros was US$469 million.

On the other hand, although Westeros has a capital share of US$500 million in Cersei Capital, before the integration of funds from all parties, the US$200 million invested by Simon has already generated good profits. Tello's follow-up only added 270 million US dollars of funds to make up 500 million US dollars.

Therefore, after the cash-out funds are allocated, including the other part of the profit turned over by Daenerys Entertainment after completing the financial audit and some of the capital balance of Westeros itself, there is a total of 260 million US dollars in New York.

While cashing out companies such as Apple, James Rebold began to absorb shares of Microsoft and Intel again at Simon's request.

On March 16, Westeros notified the SEC and the media about the increase in stock holdings of Microsoft and Intel.

The share increase announcement disclosed by the "Wall Street Journal" shows that in the past month, Westeros once again bought 1.55 million shares of Microsoft stock, holding a total of 5.25 million shares, with a shareholding ratio of 10.19%; buying Intel shares 5.5 million shares, the total number of shares held is 18.5 million shares, and the shareholding ratio is 10.08%.

Throughout the process of increasing its holdings, Westeros invested a total of US$253 million for the two companies, of which Microsoft was US$85 million and Intel was US$168 million.

With the announcement of the increase in holdings by Westeros, the stock prices of Microsoft and Intel rose in the next two trading days.

As of Friday, March 17, the market value of Microsoft reached US$3.02 billion, an increase of 6%, and the market value of Intel Corporation reached US$5.36 billion, an increase of 3.6%, compared to before Westeros’ disclosure of increased holdings.

So far, Microsoft and Intel have also become the two largest stocks in the Westeros technology stock portfolio, but the total value of these two stocks reaches 838 million US dollars, occupying the remaining 19 listed technologies held by Westeros. 53% of the total value of the shares of US$1.569 billion.

In addition to the two stocks of Microsoft and Intel, Westeros holds only 7% of Sun's shares in other technology stocks worth more than 100 million US dollars, the specific figure is 117 million US dollars.

The remaining technology stocks are valued at less than US$100 million.

Silicon Graphics, which works closely with Daenerys Special Effects, holds the highest shareholding ratio at 11%, but the current market value of this company is still only 320 million US dollars. Oracle's shareholding ratio is 9%, and the recent market value of this database software company has not exceeded the 1 billion mark, only 960 million US dollars.

In addition to the five stocks of Microsoft, Intel, SUN, Silicon Graphics and Oracle, the other 14 technology stocks have basically maintained their shareholding ratio at about 5%, and their market value is far from the two giants of Microsoft and Intel. compared to.

Simon actually hopes to continue to increase his shareholding in Microsoft and Intel to about 15%.

However, compared with the 87 stocks disaster period, the cost of increasing the holdings of these two companies has now become higher and higher. In order to increase their holdings of these two companies, Simon has to temporarily give up buying shares of other companies that are also very promising.

After Westeros increased its holdings, the liquidity in James' hands quickly shrank to the level of millions of dollars. He did not even reserve the capital gains tax for the previous reduction of Apple and other technology stocks. The operation of the Japanese financial market or the profit from Daenerys Entertainment has transfused the Westeros to the Westeros company. As a last resort, it will even continue to increase its liabilities.

Melbourne.

In late March, the aftermath of the coma incident completely passed.

Simon has been filming a car chase in the script of "Batman" in recent days. This is the final battle between Batman and Black Mask in the film. At the same time, there is also the participation of Catwoman, Bat Fighter, Batmobile and Bat Motor. The ultimate props of Xia will be used.

Therefore, the most difficult part of this scene to control is the confidentiality work.

Because for location shooting, even if the street is blocked, the all-pervasive paparazzi can hide in the buildings on both sides of the road for sneak shots.

After thinking about it, Simon simply officially released the concept map of several major props of "Batman". Before that, the image of Catwoman had been exposed.

The final confidential work of the crew now is to ensure that the plot of the film will not be leaked.

On Highway 33 in the south of the city, it is already 11 o'clock in the evening.

The crew had already taken the other two sets of shots. At this time, it was the scene where Catwoman rode Batman's dazzling Bat motorcycle out of the flying Bat fighter to help Batman chase the black mask.

The picture plan of Catwoman riding a Bat motorcycle falling from the underbelly of the Bat fighter will be completed through CG.

However, the electric bat motorcycle built by the crew using the hub motor technology has a speed of only 30 kilometers per hour. In order to pursue a thrilling lens feel, Simon hopes that the speed of this set of lenses can reach a real speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour. This requires external forces to drag the bat motorcycle. Drag.

This is one of the difficulties of this shooting. In previous tests, the Bat motorcycle was dragged and turned over.

In addition, in this scene, Alfred’s remote-controlled unmanned bat fighter will continue to hover over Catwoman. It is actually a helicopter suspending the bat fighter for low-altitude shooting. The helicopter pilot’s skills are very good, but There are also dangers.

However, compared with other action scenes of Catwoman, the risk factor of this scene is still very low.

Valerie Galino has also completed most of Catwoman's scenes. After the discussion, she finally decided to go to battle in person.

After careful preparation, the filming is about to begin. Simon once again stepped forward and explained to Valerie Galino, who was straddling the bat bike and posing sexy: "Riley, remember, if you feel that the car is about to turn over, jump right away. Car, the protective ability of the catwoman costume on you is still very good."

Valerie Galino was about to put on the highly restored red catwoman glasses and said: "Simon, what if I can't jump down?"

Simon felt that Valerie's tone was very relaxed, obviously not too worried, so he didn't say any more, and smiled: "It doesn't matter if you don't jump down."

"Ok?"

Simon wanted to joke that the crew will help you reimburse medical expenses, but this kind of remarks is too easy to give people a handle. He doesn't want to be jumped out by an actress many years later and said that Simon Westeromin knew danger He also insisted on letting him take the shots of XX, leaving behind the sequelae, so he waved his hands, picked up the walkie-talkie and said: "Everyone, get ready to start shooting."

The order was issued, and the sparse traffic flow of the pre-arranged props began to move, and Simon also got into another convertible and drove to the front of the tractor.

The cameraman on the tractor pulled off the clapboard, and the driver started the car and began to accelerate. The helicopter that was already calculating in the air also hung the Bat fighter into the foreground trajectory he needed.

More than ten seconds later, the Batmobile reached the high-speed forward state of Simon's plan. It continued to travel for two kilometers under the drag of the tractor. Simon called to the intercom to stop.

The first filming went well, and everyone relaxed.

Simon played back the camera, and the trajectory of the Bat fighter deviated a little, so he began to shoot the second time, followed by the third time.

This kind of lens arrangement is very cumbersome, and Simon plans to accumulate enough material at one time to ensure that he will not reshoot. This was repeated six times, but something went wrong after all. This time the film crew just accelerated to a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, the Batmobile began to shake, and then it rolled over on the road.

An alarm sounded from the walkie-talkie, and Simon called for a time-out at the first time and notified the medical team to step forward.

Simon's convertible stopped, he got out of the car and rushed to the scene of the accident. The Batmobile fell in the middle of the road, and the front wheel had been separated from the body. Simon didn't care about this prop car at all, and quickly came to Valerie Galino, who was lying motionless on the road.

Gently patted Valerie Galino, the girl didn't move at all, and Simon didn't dare to turn her over, and could only wait for the doctor to come and deal with it.

There was also some regret in my heart, I knew it was better to use a substitute.

At the moment of the accident, the helicopter flew to other places with the Bat fighter suspended, and the rest of the crew came up.

The two doctors were cautious and Valerie Golino checked and confirmed that there was no trauma. She was instructing the nurse to carefully lift her onto a stretcher for further examination, but the girl woke up and raised her hand to take it herself. The red catwoman's eyes that were still in front of her, looked at other people as if she had just woke up, and finally fell on Simon.

Simon stretched out **** and dangled in front of her eyes, and asked, "Lilly, what's this?"

Valerie Galino looked at the two fingers, still in a daze, changed Italian and said, "Director, I'm hungry."

The doctors didn't understand Italian and could only look at Simon.

Simon was a little helpless, so he could only follow her emotions and said in Italian: "You can go to eat right away. Let me talk about what's wrong with you?"

Valerie Galino rolled her eyes, raised her hand to touch her nose, then reached down and rubbed her chest tightly in the catwoman costume: "Here, a bit."

Simon watched the girl's movements, and was generally relieved. He changed his English and said to the doctor who looked at the girl rubbing her chest in a daze: "It's no big problem, but I'd better send it to check it. Maybe he fell to his head, maybe it was a slight concussion. such as."

"I, there is no shock," Valerie Galino heard Simon say, sat up on the stretcher, and changed back to English, and said, "It's just a little dizzy, I can continue after a short rest."

"The material just now is enough," Simon shook his head persistently, and said, "I will let the double shoot two more spares. That's the end of your work tonight."

After speaking, he ignored the girl's meaning, waved to the doctor to lift her away, and then summoned the crew to replace the bat motorcycle and stuntman to prepare for a remake.

So until two o'clock in the morning, the crew ended, Simon returned to the hotel where he was staying, and the crew doctor returned to report that Valerie Galino had been checked. It was not a major problem. However, the woman was stayed in Simon’s last hospital stay. The medical center is going to observe for one night.

Imagining Valerie's response to the lack of strings after the accident, Simon ordered the observation period to be extended to three days. Anyway, there are not many girls' roles, and most of them can be completed with doubles. The medical center was sponsored by the Johnston family. It had been specially arranged before, and Simon was not worried that there would be unfavorable news such as injury to the cast.

After explaining everything, Simon returned to her hotel suite, Janet was already asleep.

These days, Janet has been living with Simon in the hotel suite. Originally, Simon had nothing to do with him. At this time, both of them are like this. Raymond Johnston has some opinions, worrying that outsiders say that Johnston’s family is right. Daughters and prospective sons-in-law are not good, the old man has always been a face-conscious person.

However, Janet is still angry with her father because of the last coma, and has no intention of going home.

Simon actually didn't mean to toss, but he didn't want to give outsiders any bad guesses, so during this time he often took the initiative to take Janet back to Johnston's house for dinner, and basically stayed there on weekends.

In the bedroom, Simon was just lying on the bed after taking a shower, and Janet was habitually wrapped up, but his eyes did not open.

Simon smiled and kissed the woman's forehead, and hugged her to sleep.

Wake up at nine o'clock the next day, an hour later than before. This is a timetable that Janet forced Simon to customize, requiring him to rest for at least six hours.

When she woke up, Janet was no longer by her side. After taking over Cersei Capital, women wake up earlier than Simone these days. Many times they start meetings with Cersei Capital’s trading team at 7 o’clock, and then Singapore and Tokyo. The transaction will begin.

Simon used to spend three hours a day on the operation of Cersei Capital. After Janet took over, he now only needs to spend one hour a day on this, and he doesn't need to spend too much time on it.

The Australian consortium that invested in Cersei Capital has also understood this, but seeing the rapid growth of Cersei Capital’s net asset value over the past month, those people have not expressed any objection. Because of Janet's degree, some people naturally think that the operation in 1987 was also due to the cooperation between Simon and Janet, and Simon was also happy that they had such a misunderstanding, which would reduce a lot of trouble.
