Hollywood Hunter

Santa Monica Airport.

Compared to some other small jet airliners in the airport, the Boeing 767-200ER is a behemoth.

Simon patiently read the script of "Home Alone" before rushing over.

The crew members personally selected by Janet are still waiting patiently for him. There are a total of eight people, divided into two groups. Each group is composed of two pilots and two flight attendants. All are Australians and all are women. This is also the result of Simone's will. The nature of this private jet is similar to Simon's residence, and he doesn't like the same-sex control.

The four female pilots are all about forty years old. They were full-time pilots of some Australian airlines before, and they also had experience in the Air Force. All of them have at least more than ten years of flying experience.

Simon paid a very expensive price for hiring these four people. In addition to the high annual salary, even the family members of the four people can enjoy the benefits provided by Westeros. They only need to work in this position for ten years. You can retire early.

The other four flight attendants are just pure vases.

After everyone introduced each other, Simon boarded the gangway and entered the cabin. The four stewardess all followed in and took the initiative to help Simon introduce various facilities in the cabin.

After spending 15 million dollars in renovation costs, every detail in the cabin was perfect.

It is decorated in a simple style with black and white tones like piano keys. Every layout reveals an exquisite and expensive atmosphere. The living room, dining room, study, bar, bedroom, meeting room, etc. are all available, and there are total areas for passenger activities inside. With an area of ​​more than 300 square meters, the front cabin is still a very private two-story duplex suite, giving people the feeling of being in a real apartment.

However, after all, it was only a medium-sized passenger plane, and overall it was not as spacious as Simon imagined.

Although the crew had just experienced a sixteen-hour long flight from Melbourne to Los Angeles, after Simon visited, he still had the feeling that he couldn't wait to get the toy and asked the crew to take off again and travel back and forth between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Cersei Capital's operations against the US junk bond market continued, and Janet did not come to Los Angeles together.

Simon also has a lot of things to deal with recently. The two agreed to meet again after mid-November. At that time, they will probably fly to Finland first and completely take down Nokia's mobile communications equipment department.

The next day is Friday, November 3rd.

Simon was rarely woken up by the phone ringing, just after five o'clock in the morning.

James Rebold called. The photos of the Boeing 767 that Simon had just received yesterday have appeared in several newspapers on the East Coast. James then sent some faxes. In order to keep a low profile, the Boeing 767 does not have any signs related to Simon, and looks no different from a commercial airliner.

However, the only Boeing 767 parked on the runway of Santa Monica Airport in the photo is obviously Simon's car, because the scenes of Simon's meeting with the crew yesterday afternoon and subsequent boarding of the plane were all secretly photographed.

Several articles generally introduce this matter in a gossip tone, but it is inevitable that some people criticize Simon's extravagant behavior.

Private jets are very common in the West. However, few medium-sized passenger jets such as the Boeing 767 with a nuclear carrying capacity of two to three hundred people are used as private vehicles. The famous Air Force One is entirely a national machine, and the head of state of the oil powers in the Middle East depends on the vehicle It is also supported by the state.

Immediately after dawn, newspapers on the West Coast also appeared in reports about Simon’s private jet.

The Santa Monica Airport is really small, and the confidentiality is not very good. I found that more media rushed over after hearing the news and wanted to take more photos of the Westeros flying car. Simon hurriedly ordered the crew to take that The Boeing 767 took off and flew to San Francisco temporarily and stopped at San Jose Airport.

In addition, Santa Monica Airport is clearly no longer a suitable aircraft storage point.

After thinking about it, Simon asked to contact Los Angeles International Airport, planning to rent a hangar there to store his plane in it.

Compared to Santa Monica Airport, Los Angeles International Airport has hundreds of planes of all types, large and small, at any time, hidden in the public. One more Boeing 767 is completely insignificant.

Simon hid his Boeing 767 out of his deep-rooted instinct of not revealing his wealth, but the media discussion became more lively, and the voices criticizing Simon's extravagance and waste unknowingly increased a bit, and finally made Westeros. Both the public relations department of Daenerys Entertainment had to come forward to put out the fire.

In this kind of excitement, the second week of the North American Halloween schedule quietly ended.

From November 3 to November 9, after the first full week of box office of 31.77 million US dollars, the box office of "Scream 2" fell by 33% in the next week, and it collected another 21.29 million US dollars, and the total box office in two weeks was 53.06 million. Dollar.

Compared with the first, although this sequel has a deeper decline in the next week, the box office data of more than 50 million US dollars in two weeks has exceeded many people's expectations.

The two-week box office cumulative total of movies such as "Alien Monsters" released in the same period is generally less than that of "Scream 2" for more than a week.

On November 10th, "Scream 2" was still in theaters, and another new film "My Left Foot" by Daenerys Entertainment's Gaomen Pictures was released quietly.

"My Left Foot" only won one best actor award at the Cannes Film Festival in the first half of the year, but it still attracted a lot of attention. Under Simon’s account, Ira Deutschman gave a lot of attention to this film. I have always attached great importance to it. Choosing the schedule of November 10th is also for the consideration of the next awards season.

As a literary film that is destined to take a long-term word-of-mouth screening strategy, the scale of the opening of "My Left Foot" is far from being compared with "Scream 2". There were only 112 screens in the first week. With the radial distribution model of the film industry, the first batch of screens were only concentrated in major core cities in North America.

Speaking of it, "My Left Foot" is not actually Daenerys Entertainment's public relations focus for this year's Oscars.

This is "Drive for Miss Daisy", which is scheduled to be released in early December. Therefore, choosing to be released in November, "My Left Foot" will mainly rely on film nominations to accumulate box office.

As for driving "For Miss Daisy", Simon has already seen the finished film of this movie, and the quality is no different from the original.

Moreover, the biggest advantage of "Driving for Miss Daisy" is that the two starring actors in the film are both old people, and they also tell the story of two old people. At the same time, it also involves very politically correct racial topics, which is absolutely in line with the Oscars. The preferences of the senior judges.

In addition to the movie, the video game "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" released by Daenerys Entertainment's Blizzard Studio has gradually attracted media attention.
