Chapter 288

They were sitting opposite on the sofa in the corner of the hall, but Michael owitz didn't speak again for a moment, with an obvious reluctance in his expression.

Simon didn't rush. He looked casually at the crowd and felt the melodious string music coming from the dance floor.

A tall blonde in a white one shouldered dress noticed the silence between Simon and owitz. After thinking about it, she approached him tentatively and said, "Hi, Mr. westrow."

This woman is really tall, wearing high-heeled shoes is to break 1.90 meters.

Simon looked up at the woman with a smile and said, "Hi, Miss Hall."

There was a look of surprise on the woman's face, mixed with a certain degree of just right joy: "Mr. westrow, do you know me?"

"Mick's girlfriend, Jerry hall, right?" Simon, with some inexplicable smile on his face, patted beside him and said, "didn't Mick come tonight?"

"He's in England," Jerry Hall said casually. He sat down next to Simon, nodded politely to owitz, and then turned his attention to Simon again. He found a topic and said, "Mr. westero, I hear Batman is going to finish soon?"

"Yes, and by the way, just call me Simon."

Simon nodded, remembering that Jerry hall played the wife of the gang boss who was disfigured by the clown in the first movie of Keaton's Batman. It was very interesting. At the same time, we have to say that the woman who has been able to catch Mick Jagger for many years is really beautiful. Her appearance in her early 30s is at the peak of her beauty.

"It's a great honor, Simon," Jerry Hall said, changing his words and closing up a little without any trace. "You can also call me Jerry."

Simon thought of a mouse with big ears and said with a smile, "it sounds like a boy's name."

"I can't help it. There are five sisters in my family. My father is crazy about boys."

"Has his wish come true?"

"No

Simon showed sympathy.

Laughing, noting owitz's impatience, Simon raised his glass to Jerry hall and said, "Jerry, Mr. owitz and I have something else to talk about."

Jerry hall took out a business card from Kun's bag and handed it to him generously. He said, "I'll be in Los Angeles all this time, Simon. Maybe we can have coffee together."

Simon took the woman's card and nodded, "good."

Seeing that Simon didn't mean to leave a business card for himself, Jerry Holzer got up wisely and nodded to owitz.

Ignoring the woman who had just left, Michael owitz watched the young man casually put the card into his shirt pocket, and finally said, "Simon, Barry, all four of them have transferred to wma. What do you think of the end of our previous unhappiness?"

Simon has guessed many of owitz's solutions, but he didn't expect him to come up with such a solution.

However, to let Barry Levinson and others all switch to wma seems to be the best way to resolve the resentment between the two sides. Simon's close relationship with wma is well known. By doing so, owitz can also safeguard the career of his clients to the greatest extent.

However, Simon didn't nod his head and said, "Michael, I'm not a person who has a lot of grudges. I don't send someone with a baseball bat to drive the other party into the alley because of a few quarrels. You have to understand that with the resources I have now, if I want to target a person, his end will never be very good. But, I am not a good forgiver, those who have provoked me, what I ask is that they don't appear in my vision again. "

"Simon, Barry, they don't show up every day."

"Michael, you should know what I mean. I've got most of Hollywood in my sights now. Of course, there are still some corners left. I'm not going to look at them any more. It's too perfect. So they can stay there. "

Michael owitz thinks of paramount.

If the young man in front of him is willing to give up the quarrel caused by the two scripts being robbed, Paramount will certainly not mind turning to Denise for entertainment.

There may also be MGM, or even the declining Orion, but he obviously doesn't intend to.

Just not to be perfect.

In the past few contacts, Michael owitz can roughly understand that Simon is a perfectionist. Now, when a perfectionist no longer pursues perfection, it does not necessarily mean that he begins to indulge or degenerate, he may become more powerful.

After all, there has never been anything perfect in the world.

After a moment's silence, owitz finally said, "Simon, Barry, can they leave CAA and finish those things?"

Simon nodded: "CAA has many excellent filmmakers, and I'm looking forward to working with you."Now that the decision was made, owitz stopped dragging his feet and said, "in this case, you have to make sure that wma doesn't poach people from CAA."

"I can't promise you such a thing, Michael. I'm just close to Jonathan. Wma is not my company. It's a competition between your talent agency companies."

In fact, it is beneficial for Simon to maintain the competition among the major talent agencies. Of course, he can't limit this.

Michael owitz also realized something. He didn't speak any more. He stood up and reached out to Simon. They shook hands and reached a tacit agreement. Leaving the party hall, owitz got into the car waiting outside the four seasons hotel and dialed Barry Levinson's number directly through the car phone.

Simon didn't know how owitz communicated with Barry Levinson, but the next day, Hollywood spread the news that Barry Levinson, Dustin Hoffman, Tom Cruise and Meg Ryan were about to leave CAA.

It was soon confirmed by CAA.

However, the official statement is that Barry Levinson chose to leave CAA for their own career development.

Subsequently, Barry Levinson quickly announced his new project "Avalon" with Paramount Pictures, which is estimated to cost 15 million US dollars and is scheduled to be released next year.

Dustin Hoffman said he plans to stop filming for a year and go to the UK to play on stage. The circle immediately heard that Hoffman's part in Warren Beatty's new Disney film "the supreme detective" had been deleted.

Tom Cruise's agent Paula Wagner and her client quit CAA together and announced the establishment of cruise Wagner production company through the Los Angeles Times announcement.

Meg Ryan just became popular last year with when Harry meets Sally, which is the shallowest of the four.

After the incident, Meg Ryan's public relations manager immediately announced his resignation. Hollywood talent agencies, big and small, didn't mean to give her an olive branch. After a flurry, the actress had to announce that her sister would be her agent and public spokesman for the time being.

Then a paparazzi finds out that Meg Ryan's boyfriend Dennis Quaid, who has been dating for more than a year, and another unknown actress appear together in a bar in West Hollywood. Facing the paparazzi's questioning, Dennis Quaid admits that he has recently broken up with Meg Ryan.

Compared with Michael owitz's "infantry soldier" incident, which is still being pieced up by the media, Barry Levinson left CAA. However, the mainstream newspapers in North America showed a kind of abnormal silence. What appeared on the page were only some painless official manuscripts.

Most of the public who are not sensitive to gossip, seeing the relevant news, will only think that these people may choose to leave because they are not satisfied with owitz, who has recently been criticized by the media.

Of course, there is no lack of tabloids in the circle who want to hype big news to attract attention, but the attention of these newspapers is usually very low, and they dare not blatantly pick out the inside story of the matter, but only give a few hints.

In fact, tabloids know better what kind of people they can provoke and what kind of people they can't.

If Simon westero is just a simple director, no matter how hype.

Public figures are used to stir fry.

However, when the director was still a super rich man with billions of dollars in wealth and in Hollywood, in order to avoid being accused of bankruptcy, all kinds of gossip newspapers did not dare to be too blatant.

As for Hollywood, in the face of media questioning about Barry Levinson and other people's views on leaving CAA, even the stars who used to have big mouth and so on are silent.

Simon westero's effort is almost an understatement, but it really makes many people realize that after the era of blockbusters, another real Hollywood power figure has been born.

In recent years, the top management of each studio has maintained a flattering attitude in the face of Hollywood first-line stars, in order to attract each other to play in their own films. Even the big guys like Steve Roth have tried their best to make friends with Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, Barbara Streisand and others.

Now, instead of keeping a low profile and taking the initiative to make friends with the stars, Simon westero has knocked down Hollywood's hottest celebrities.

People with a clear eye can see that even Barry Levinson, Dustin Hoffman, Tom Cruise and Meg Ryan can still stay in Hollywood by virtue of their past fame as long as Simon westero doesn't let go, but their careers are doomed to decline if they lose all kinds of resources they can easily obtain.

Several parties accepted the reality in a disheartened manner, did not openly challenge Simon westero, but also understood their own situation.

In the final analysis, Simon westero didn't do anything absolutely. If he comes out to challenge again at this time, it is tantamount to that he can't get along with himself. In the days that followed, when I saw a young man who seemed to be always plain and modest, and seemed not to have any aggressiveness, even some stars who were used to being rebellious, I could not help feeling a little awe.Things are always coming.

When the circle is still secretly discussing the inside story of Barry Levinson and others leaving CAA, the release of the new year's Forbes North America 400 rich list suddenly triggered another storm of public opinion.
