Hollywood New Century

Early in the morning, in Santa Monica, Emily Blunt's room, the sunlight outside the window shines brightly on the carpet of the room through the gap between the curtains.

On the bed, the two people who were tossing around in the middle of the night have not woken up yet, and the messy scene all showed the intensity of last night.

It wasn't until ten o'clock that the two slowly woke up. Simon looked at Emily Blunt in his arms, patted the girl's smooth back, and said, "It's time for me to get up and take a shower!"

"Well, let's see!" Emily took out the watch beside the bed and looked at it, "Yeah, it's past ten o'clock, then I'll make breakfast!"

Simon got up, and after the shower, breakfast was already set on the table in the living room. Like Blake Lively, she seemed to be a girl who was very good at cooking.

"By the way, how did you know about Anne's boyfriend last night, did you really hear about it in New York?" Emily Blunt asked while eating breakfast.

"Well, there are a lot of funds about this kind of real estate in New York. I don't remember the name of Rafael Farrieri clearly. This surname is a little bit rare, but I have a little impression. I checked the fund and found that it could not be found. What kind of investment business is there? On the bright side, it is just a foundation for buying and selling real estate. However, the whereabouts of a large amount of investment funds are unknown, and the money invested by myself cannot be traced, so I suspect that the fund is just an empty shell. ," Simon said the reason he had in mind, but he was thinking, although it was made up, but it was all real, I didn't check it myself.

After the economic crisis in 2008, a large number of investors needed to withdraw their funds. This guy could no longer plug the loopholes, so he was imprisoned for financial fraud.

This typical Ponzi scheme is too much!

"Yeah, wasn't Anne deceived by that man?" Emily Blunt looked surprised.

"Uh, I don't have any evidence. My own guess is that it's a simple Ponzi scheme. It's a close call, using the money of subsequent investors to replenish the previous investors," Simon said, putting down his knife and fork, reminding him Said: "You are friends with Anne Hathaway now. Although you don't have much money, you still need to be careful. That Italian Rafello Farrieri, it's always right to stay away from him!"

"I understand, I don't have the money to invest now," Emily Blunt nodded obediently.

"By the way, what movie projects do you have next?" Simon asked.

"There are two comedy movies in which the supporting roles are not important!" Emily responded quickly.

"Also, you just came to Hollywood, you can hone it first, I don't have any role for you right now, wait two or three years, my company will be on track," Simon explained the recent situation.

"I understand, Simon, I like you, and I will succeed in Hollywood with my own efforts!" Emily Blunt is very confident, and youth is capital.

"Haha, yes," Simon did not doubt her words, she has indeed succeeded in the future, dabbling in various types of movies!

"By the way, do you want to go to the Oscars tomorrow night? I can bring a female companion to attend!" Simon felt that Emily Blunt was also an actress in the movie "The Queen Wears Prada", and she Is the producer, very well explained.

Emily Blunt shook her head and actually refused, "Simon, I don't have any work yet, and besides, I don't want to be said by others that I got that role because of you!"

"This, okay!" Simon Parker opened his mouth, is this girl so strong? Who cares about this kind of thing in Hollywood, but it's normal for Hollywood stars to hide their romances!

At the door of Emily Blunt's house, after the two hugged and kissed goodbye, Simon returned to Xinghai Pictures.

As for Anne Hathaway, I don't care anymore. The proportion of Hollywood stars graduating from college is only about 5%, and counting high school graduates, the proportion is only 30%. It is normal to be deceived.

In this regard, how could they be the opponents of the Wall Street crowd?

On March 5, 2006, the 78th Academy Awards ceremony was held at the Kodak Theater on the Walk of Fame in Hollywood, Los Angeles.

At the entrance of the Kodak Theater, the red carpet started at three o'clock in the afternoon, and fans, reporters and some filmmakers came over at noon.

Simon Pike and Nicole Kidman came together this time.

"There are a lot of people. The awards ceremony officially starts at 5 o'clock in the afternoon and ends at 9 o'clock in the afternoon. No wonder everyone will be hungry," Simon sighed while looking at the crowd at the door after parking the car.

"That's right, there were only about 1,500 people attending. It's the biggest movie party in the world. The rest of the crew is probably already in. We're late," Nicole said in a white corset evening dress. With straight long hair, it is much prettier than the last Golden Globes look.

"It's only a little after 4 o'clock, let's have something to eat, so that we won't be hungry later, how wonderful!" Simon looked extremely handsome in a well-cut black Armanisi and a bow tie.

"Okay, let's go. After we finish taking pictures, we will be interviewed by several media. It is estimated that the time will be up!" Nicole Kidman said, holding Simon Parker's arm and walking to the red carpet.

"You said, if Louis Mayer knew that the MGM he created is now owned by Sony, would he climb out of the coffin and kick Kirk Kerkorian," Simon walked. While asking in a low voice, after all, Oscar was created by MGM under the leadership of Louis Mayer.

The Oscar trophy owned by MGM is the best in Hollywood, which seems to show the glorious past.

"Your idea is so unique," Nicole waved to both sides, dealing with Simon's question.

"If I had the money, I would buy MGM. Although the debt is high, it has a large library of films, a strong label, and a perfect distribution network in the North American market. It is not difficult for me to come back to life," Simon said. sigh, it's a pity

"Being controlled by Sony, MGM's debt is going to increase!"

Simon knew that a few years later, MGM's debt directly made it bankrupt, and Sony was considered to have swindled several investment funds on Wall Street.

"Sony's acquisitions totaled 4.8 billion US dollars, and 2.8 billion US dollars are debts. Although Sony only issued 200,000 to 300 million in cash, you don't have that much money, don't you?" Nicole Kidman also had a headache listening to Simon's sighs , What is this little thing always thinking?

"Welcome to Nicole, Simon, the two films have been nominated for Best Picture, Best Director and several other awards!" In the media hall, the host of ABC TV had already greeted.

"Hi, good afternoon!" Nicole also greeted the host warmly. The ABC Radio and Television Network is the broadcaster of the Oscars, and this guy is the red carpet host.

Host: "Nicole, what would you like to say about your film being nominated for Best Picture?"

Nicole Kidman: "I am very excited. It should be the credit of all the crew members that Juno was nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars!"

Host: "Your white dress is really beautiful today. "Juno" is a wonderful movie, I believe it will definitely get the honor it deserves!"

Nicole Kidman: "I think we've been nominated to be recognized, and everyone's support for our film inspires us to make more exciting films in the future..."

Simon now finds out that Nicole Kidman is really an old fritter, and a star who has been a star for so long can really suck.

"Simon, you're so handsome today!" The hostess and Nicole finished talking, and turned her attention to Simon's side. After speaking, she hugged Simon and gave a close-face salute.

Host: "Simon, the movie "Juno" should have taken up a lot of your time, and you wrote the script too!"

Simon nodded and said with a serious look: "Yes, it took nearly a month to write the script, and it took about a month to shoot, and the time for investment in the middle..."

The host was shocked. It took you only one month to write the original script and only one month to shoot, and then your main time was wasted on finding investors.

Looking at Simon's serious face, it seems that these months of waiting seem to be difficult. You are simply a smooth sailing process!

Supporter: "Simon, many movies take years to start shooting. It's really eye-opening that "Juno" can be made in such a short time."

Simon was unhappy at this point. What does it mean to complete the production smoothly? How can I count the tricks of the crew every day in the past few months. Forget it, anyway, in the eyes of many people, it is indeed a somewhat smooth process, and everyone only looks at the results, not the process!

Simon: "Also, who would have thought that a person who had just graduated from college the year before last and was running the show in the crew would sit under the Oscar stage today because his film was nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture!"

"Thinking about it this way, I'm really lucky, so lucky," Simon said with a smile.

The host also laughed. Of course, he understood what Simon meant. Today's dazzling seems to cover up the previous humbleness.

"Simon, congratulations to you, I hope you will become more and more dazzling in the future!" Simon Pike has become a producer who is now nominated for the Oscar for best picture from a crew member. The difficulty is just invisible.

After the host finished the interview, of course, they had to give up their positions to the red carpet stars behind. Simon and Nicole moved on and accepted interviews from reporters sent by other media.

"Huh, Nicole, it seems that you are really famous in Hollywood. If I were the only one, I would have been able to enter the meeting hall half an hour earlier!" The media have to take pictures.

"It feels good, but it's not bad to take pictures with you, and the height is good!" Nicole said with a smile.
