Hollywood Hunter

Paris, France, the time is April 2nd.

At the end of the honeymoon trip from west to east along the Mediterranean coast, the north of the European continent also entered the spring season, and Simon and Janet, who had never been satisfied, flew to the manor in the western suburbs of Paris to stay temporarily.

As soon as the black car drove into this more than 50-acre estate, Madonna couldn't help but look around through the car window with envy in her eyes.

Madonna is also a person who likes buying real estate very much, but she knows in her heart that she is absolutely impossible to buy such a real estate outside of Paris like Westeros. She may only live for a few days a year. .

After several attempts, Madonna was finally able to make an appointment to meet with Simon today, for her upcoming "Blonde Ambitious" concert that will open on April 13.

During the filming of "Pulp Fiction," Simon promised to appear as a guitarist in her concert. As the other party's power and wealth continue to increase, Madonna is not sure whether this promise will be fulfilled.

Fortunately, Westeros didn't mean to repent.

Madonna couldn't wait to reveal this in an interview after receiving a positive reply from Simon, and it immediately attracted the attention of fans. Simon's guest appearance is a big gimmick for the upcoming concert tour. Therefore, even though it is the most critical period of concert preparation, Madonna decided to come to Europe to meet Simon in person.

The car shuttled between the roads for a moment, and finally stopped in front of the manor’s grand main villa.

The driver opened the door, Madonna got out of the car, and a young girl wearing an OL-style professional suit in front of the villa came over and said politely: "Miss Cyconi, this is Claire, please come with me."

Madonna was a little curious about the identity of this girl, followed the other person into the villa and saw another tall girl in the same dress in the living room. She roughly understood what she was, but was even more confused. Janet Johnston, well, it should be Janet Westeros now, with a big heart. Putting these beautiful vases beside her man.

Thinking about this, Madonna followed a girl named Claire to a study on the first floor of the villa. Simon, Janet, and another pair of middle-aged men and women were gathered around a workbench in the study. The architectural model on a workbench was discussing in low voice .

Glanced roughly.

The architectural model on the workbench seems to be a building, but it is a circular building with no windows or the like on the outside, which looks strange.

Seeing her come in, the four of them ended the conversation. After everyone greeted briefly, the middle-aged man and woman took the initiative to leave.

"C, you go send Mr. Stone and Ms. Anderson, and ask D to bring some drinks. By the way, Maggie, what do you want to drink?"

"Me, coffee will do."

Simon nodded, explained a few words to Claire, sent the middle-aged man and woman out of the study, and motioned Madonna to sit down on the sofa.

Janet waited for the middle-aged man and woman to leave, and said: "Let's talk, I'll go upstairs and take a rest."

Madonna quickly got up again and watched Janet leave the study. Only she and Simon were left. Then she sat down again and found a topic: "C and D, are there A and B?"

Simon sat down opposite Madonna and said with a smile: "Yes, they went to the city. See you when you come back."

In her tone, she felt that Simon still seemed to be the big boy she used to be, and did not alienate her because of the change of identity. Madonna relaxed and joked half-truth: "A, B, C, D, can Jenny Don’t worry about what happened to you and them at all?"

"Jenny feels that if the maids you find are too ugly, it will be even more embarrassing if something happens to me and them."

Madonna thought for a while, and she seemed to make sense. It’s just that something is wrong. Noting the architectural model on the workbench, she simply changed the subject and said, "What is that, is it a building?"

"Doomsday Refuge."

"Ok?"

Simon repeated: "The doomsday refuge is a place for temporary refuge in the event of unexpected disasters such as nuclear wars, famines, and epidemics."

Ok.

Madonna felt that she and the man in front of her might not be in the same plane.

Simon finished the explanation seriously, smiling again on his face, and added: "You know, the higher the class, the more people suffer from doomphobia. This is not because they are more afraid of death than ordinary people. Rather, they know that the world is far less secure than ordinary people think. Destructive disasters can happen at any time."

During this period of time, after months of negotiations with the Tasmanian government, Simon finally obtained another 6000 square kilometers of land in Tasmania, Australia. Counting the previously purchased real estate, Simon already owns nearly 10 in Tasmania. %soil of.

When he talked with Janet jokingly about building a doomsday refuge in Tasmania, Simon almost forgot afterwards, but Janet kept being a reporter.

There is something in her bones that Janet, who is looking forward to the end of the world, does not have a doomsday phobia. The woman just thought it was interesting, and Simon let her hire someone to start planning.

During the month of the honeymoon, the two of them, like children playing Lego blocks, designed the doomsday refuge model on the workbench with the help of the professional team.

The shelter is planned to be built in the mountains and forests of Tasmania, with a depth of more than 50 meters, and it can indeed reach the level of resistance to nuclear companies. The internal space and storage materials are sufficient for 10 people to live self-sufficiently for 5 years. It is initially expected to cost 20 million US dollars.

Although everything is very formal, in fact, this is a big toy made by Simon and Janet.

For example, now, after listening to Simon’s explanation, Madonna tries to suppress herself from showing her ‘you rich are really boring’ eyes.

Another girl came in with a tray at this time, squatted next to the dwarf, put a cup of orange juice in front of Simon, poured another cup of coffee for Madonna, and then quietly exited the study.

A, B, C, D, Alison, Betsy, Claire, and Deborah. The four girls were flight attendants selected after Janet ordered the Boeing 767. In addition to her own good qualifications and education, four I have also received various types of training from flight attendants to nurses under the arrangement of Janet, and these trainings are still ongoing.

Because it was so easy to use, Simon simply let them become full-time maids.

Of course, Simon is also very generous in salary.

The four girls only need to work full-time for Simon for five years. In addition to the high annual salary of $200,000, five years later, there will be a bonus equal to the total salary of the previous five years. In other words, the four girls only need to work for five years to get $2 million, which is a salary that most ordinary people cannot earn in their entire lives.

For the sake of personal privacy, Simon’s current properties in Europe and North America are no longer arbitrarily hiring young girls as cleaners based on Simon’s original evil tastes. Instead, they have organized and signed strict confidentiality agreements under the care of a housekeeper. At the same time, a more professional service team.

When the girl left, Madonna took a sip of coffee and turned to the main topic: "Simon, have you read the concert information that I passed over the other day?"

"Of course," Simon said, leaning against the back of the sofa while holding up the orange juice: "Four months, 60 concerts, an average of two days, you can really fight."

According to Madonna’s "Blonde Ambitious" global tour schedule, from April to August, Madonna will hold 60 consecutive concerts in more than 20 cities in Japan, North America and Europe. Can be called non-stop.

The average frequency of one show in two days is a test of the singer's ability.

Madonna smiled and said along Simon's words: "So, would you like to do another cameo for me?"

Simon is also very easy to speak: "No problem, let's talk about appearance fees."

Madonna suddenly shrank her neck.

Just kidding.

Simon Westero's appearance fee.

The promises made by the guest guitarist were only verbal agreements, and Madonna actually considered this issue before coming.

If Simon really had to pay for appearances, she probably couldn't afford it. You know, the average box office revenue for each of the 60 planned concerts may be less than $1 million. Westero only appeared in one of the guest appearances, so he really had to care about it. It might not be enough to give this guy all the box office.

Simon was just joking.

After getting up, I went to the desk and picked up a folder to return, and handed it to Madonna: "Here is a song, including the next guest appearances, we will clean up the two. From now on, you don’t have to collect debts every time. As for the guest guitarist, I will be returning to North America in the next few days. I definitely won’t be able to go there in Japan. For the specific guest appearance, please see my schedule. But don’t worry, as long as you decide on the schedule, I will spare a few Participate in rehearsals every day."

Madonna listened to Simon and opened the folder eagerly.

The original agreement, two songs, a concert guest guitarist.

Simon has already given a song "Celebration", and there is still one song left, and I have mentioned it several times before, this man just used the need for inspiration.

Now it's finally time to pay the bill.

The first thing I saw was the title of the song: "BadRomance"

Bad romance.

Just the name, Madonna feels very in line with her own style.

Then came the lyrics and score.

After browsing it roughly, Madonna hummed unknowingly, and then found that this song is simply too suitable for stage performance. Madonna had already started to conceive the stage design while humming.

However, looking at it, Madonna suddenly hesitated.

This song can definitely support an album.

Perhaps it should be the main title of his next album, and even the album name can be called "BadRomance" directly.

Although there is no concept such as the brainwashing divine comedy, Madonna can feel that this song will definitely become popular very easily. So, as long as it is done well, it will be a record with tens of millions of sales.

I really don't know how many things are hidden in the belly of the greedy little man.

Thinking of this, Madonna finally raised her head and glanced at Simon and said: "Well, I see a lot of the word'Gaga' in the lyrics, what do you mean?"

Simon explained casually: "Forgot where I heard it. Anyway, it is the lyrics in a song. It feels very rhythmic to use here."

That's right.

"BadRomance" is a song by LadyGaga many years later in the original time and space. It is not surprising that the singer's name appears in the lyrics.

As for the specific source of the word Gaga, Simon probably remembered that it was a song in recent years, and he didn't bother to go into the details.

Madonna also didn't mean to get to the bottom.

Get a song and get Simon's personal promise, this time flying to Paris from his busy schedule is a worthwhile trip.

The two chatted for more than half an hour, staying in the manor for lunch at noon, and Madonna left.

After sending Madonna away, Simon returned to the villa and saw Janet nestling in the living room sofa on the side of the living room, holding a magazine, looking lazy.

Going over to sit down next to Janet, Simon reached out and touched the woman's belly, and smiled: "Don't be so hurry, there will always be some time."

Janet has been a little bit emotional in recent days. The main reason is that the two of them have been ‘busy’ for a month and originally wanted to make a little guy out as soon as possible, but the woman’s belly remained silent. Simon was not in a hurry about this, but Janet was obviously not.

Throwing away the magazine in her hand, Janet slapped the man beside her and said, "Let's go back to North America tomorrow."

"Stay for a few more days," Simon put his arms around the woman's waist and said, "Or, shall we find a doctor to check it?"

Janet shook her head immediately: "No, it feels weird."

After chatting finely and snuggling for a while, Janet got up again.

Although Simon acquiesced in his decision to stay in Paris for a few more days, both of them have started to work again these days.

Janet is okay, she just spends two or three hours a day reading various materials from several subsidiaries of Cersei Capital, and occasionally communicating with New York over the phone.

Simon has too many things to take care of.

During the two honeymoon days, the DC movie universe's follow-up "Batman: The Dark Knight", "Superman", "Flash", "Wonder Woman" and even "Steel Bones" and other projects have been fully launched.

Simon's plan is to select suitable actors as early as possible and sign a long-term contract, so that sufficient time can be reserved for the training of the main actors, just like the default heroine of "Wonder Woman" Famike Jensen.

Outside of the DC Cinematic Universe, the two key external cooperation projects that are currently under preparation, "Terminator 2" and "Death End", also require some energy from Simon to take care of them.

On the other hand, the team that plans to acquire MCA has also begun to be established. This matter will be mainly handled by Cersei Capital's Apollo Management Company.

Leon Black, the head of the Apollo Management Company, was mainly responsible for the leveraged buyout business during the time of Dechon Securities. It is more than enough to take over such a corporate acquisition consulting work.

If according to the price of Panasonic's acquisition of MCA in memory, in addition to Simon's hoarding overseas funds, Daenerys Entertainment will have to raise at least another 3 billion US dollars in cash to ensure the completion of this acquisition. Therefore, James Rebald has already started secretly contacting some banks in private.

In addition to Hollywood affairs, Simon will need to invest enough energy in new technology for the next period of time.

Eaglet has completed the preliminary layout of the World Wide Web technology, and then it needs to officially launch the Internet plan. Without Simon's personal promotion, it would take at least two or three years for this matter to unfold.
