Hollywood New Century

Chapter 339: slip through the net

Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, in Simon's bedroom.

Simon got a call from Ivanka early in the morning.

"I'm in Los Angeles, are you there?"

"In Beverly Hills, when did you come?" Simon looked at his watch, it was seven o'clock, it was time to get up.

After a few chats, Simon got up to wash and drove to where Ivan was stuck in Inglewood.

Inglewood is just across Carver City from Beverly Hills, not too far.

Simon drives his new toy, the Aston Martin one-77 sky blue sports car that just went on sale last year, receives Ivanka.

"Flyed in from New York yesterday," Ivanka sat in the car, looked at it for a while, and said with a smile,

"The car is great!"

"Well, it's okay, it didn't take long to get started, and it didn't take a few days to arrive," Simon said lightly. After all, there seem to be 77 cars, and the price is more than 1 million pounds.

It is this sky blue, although Simon thinks it is good, but this is also the color of a coquettish bag.

"Come to Los Angeles for a vacation?" Simon asked while driving.

"I have nothing to do recently, and I really want to go out to play for a few days." Ivanka didn't know what she was thinking. It was obvious that she was going to ski in Utah before, or she came to Los Angeles.

Utah and California are separated by the state of Nevada.

"Los Angeles is not bad, much better than cold New York, and the Oscars are going to be held next month, and there will be some cocktail parties," Simon didn't know that she was just saying what she meant.

"You can meet quite a few celebrities and chat with them!"

Many rich children and celebrities become friends or something, and it is also vanity to get more exposure and popularity. Ivanka herself is also a model and is familiar with it.

"Got it, but I wanted to go skiing over there in Utah," Ivanka said anyway.

"Skiing, Utah?" Simon thought for a while, then said in surprise, "That should be over there in Park City, which has the most and the best ski trails."

"Are you familiar?"

"Parker City holds the Saint Denis Film Festival every year. I've been there before, yes, it's the day of the film festival," Simon thought for a moment and then continued.

"Want to? I'd like to stop by the St. Denis Film Festival in Park City, too."

Ashley Brax seems to have rushed over today, and I don't know if I will find any good projects this year.

"Are you going too? Okay, when will you leave?" Ivanka had an idea, and since Simon also went, it would be better.

"Tomorrow, I'll make arrangements!" Said the car and drove into the gate of the mansion of Simon Beverly Hills.

On the same day, Simon accompanied Ivanka to Los Angeles and other places, and then flew to Salt Lake City International Airport in Utah by private jet the next day.

Salt Lake City is the largest city and the capital of Utah. Salt Lake City International Airport is only half an hour's drive from Park City, and there are many ski resorts around.

Lushan Ski Resort is regarded as one of the top ski resorts in Park City. Not to mention the various service facilities of the ski trails are also five-star.

When playing at Lushan Ski Resort, Simon did not forget to go to the venue of the Saint Denis Film Festival to watch.

"This place, I was there a few years ago, for a promotion for a TV movie," Ivanka said to Simon at the Saint Denis Film Festival venue.

"Well, a lot of new directors have been discovered here, and a lot of movies are being traded here," Simon said, glancing at movie posters everywhere.

"I don't know much about movies, but most of the people in Utah believe in Mormonism." There were a lot of people at the film festival, and Ivanka also chatted with Simon one by one.

"Mormons, I know, I'm interested in their teaching of polygamy," Simon said, laughing.

"Hey, the U.S. Constitution doesn't allow it!"

"You really," Ivanka shook her head disdainfully,

"Simon, you have a lot of scandals on the entertainment page, and the relationship between men and women in the entertainment industry is really messy!"

"You can't..."

Ivanka said, but found that Simon did not respond, but when she looked back, she found that Simon was staring at a poster not far away.

On the poster, a man appears to be in an enclosed space, holding a lit lighter.

"What's wrong?" Ivanka asked.

"Oh, nothing, this movie, it feels a little interesting," Simon really found a good movie.

Isn't this the personal movie "Buried Alive" starring Ryan Reynolds?

"This actor is the hero of your company's movie "Fake Marriage" last year," Ivanka seemed to recognize.

"Yes, it's him. He recently took over the blockbuster "Green Lantern" from Warner Bros. "Simon certainly knows him, and he is also the Deadpool in "Wolverine."

Moreover, the husband of Scarlett Johansson, who played Black Widow in "Iron Man 2", is not also him.

"Buried Alive" to buy!

He took out his phone and called Ashley Brax directly, "Ashley, there is a one-man movie Buried Alive at the Saint Denis Film Festival, it feels good!"

"Oh, I know, a small budget film from a Spanish director, and now Lionsgate, Weinstein Pictures, IFC Pictures, Fox Searchlight, etc. are all competing," Ashley Brax on the phone was clear ,

"The budget for "Buried Alive" is about $3 million. Now there are many competitors. If you want to win the North American copyright, it is estimated that it will cost more than $2 million!"

"Well, yes, Buried Alive won't be too high at the box office, but the movie is good, it's still profitable, and it's also very moving in terms of art," Simon of course supports Ashley Brax After winning the copyright, although the box office of this kind of film was not too high, Simon remembered that "Buried Alive" had a box office of 30 million US dollars.

"Okay, got it!" Ashley Brax's backing gives him confidence, and this kind of film is what these independent film labels are interested in.

The competitiveness of Xinghai Qixing Pictures depends on the financial support behind it. After all, there are so many literary and artistic films every year, how many can make money?

After Simon hung up the phone, he excitedly dragged Ivanka to continue shopping, maybe there will be other fish that slip through the net!

"You don't forget to work when you go on vacation. It's no wonder that you are now an idol of young Americans. You have excellent work ability and accurate investment vision, and you can't do without your hard work," Ivanka said.

"Haha, well, it's getting late, let's go back to the hotel first, come over for another day tomorrow, and then go back to Los Angeles." Although there are 11 days for the Saint Denis Film Festival, Simon will definitely not wait until the closing ceremony.
