Chapter 1032

Chatting casually and talking about the girls' last trip to Europe sponsored by Simon, the two sisters obviously began to look forward to the next time. As soon as the champagne in the glass was finished, Simon waved to the waiter who was passing by nearby. When the other side approached, he saw a group of cocktails in the tray, reached for a glass, and saw the two girls' bright eyes and asked with a smile Do you want it

Nicky immediately shook her head. "Simon, we're not old enough to drink."

"I want it," Paris said, reaching for a glass. "But Simon, when my mother sees me, I'll say you let me drink it."

Simon nodded and said, "good."

Nikki saw her sister take a glass of wine, unwilling to lag behind, she also reached for a glass, waiting for the waiter to leave and took a sip. Of course, it was not the first time for her to drink, but the degree of the cocktail was much higher than that of the champagne, and when she drank it, she vomited.

It's not that I can't bear it. It's just that I'm sure I'll look cute in front of him.

But Paris drank half a cup at a time, and her face soon turned red. As she was about to continue to say something, the other three girls had already come over. One of them had exaggerated breasts, which could not be compared with the two sisters. It was Christina Hendrix.

Just when a group of big goblins surrounded Simon, they couldn't find a chance to step forward.

At this time, the Hilton sisters, there is no too much scruples, it is obvious that the eldest sister Christina came near, some restraint and eager to say: "Simon, I'm Christina, can we take a picture with you?"

"Yes," Simon nodded and reminded, "but it can't be posted on the Internet."

"Of course," Christina nodded, then responded and said tentatively, "Simon, do you know us?"

"You know, elite's network red girl group," Simon said with a smile, "in fact, I am a major shareholder of elite, you are my employees."

"Oh, what a pleasure." Christina said, finally thought of the two partners around, and help introduce: "also, Simon, this is Barbara, and Lisa."

Simon reached over and said, "hello."

The three girls shake hands with Simon respectively. Christina pushes the black haired girl named Barbara on the left. The other girl leaves reluctantly. Christina explains: "cameras are not allowed here. We can only ask the official photographer."

I said hello ahead of time, Christina said. A photographer has followed Barbara with a camera.

Simon patted the two girls around him and motioned them to give way first. The three girls who had just stood next to him immediately sat down beside him. Christina boldly hugged the man's arm around him. Simon's body suddenly fell into a fierce gentle countryside.

After taking photos, the three girls didn't stay here. However, when Christina left, she slipped a card into Simon's hand and boldly invited him to call her.

Waiting for the three girls to leave, she snatched back her own Palis and immediately began to poison her tongue: "so big, it must have drooped. In fact, it's very ugly."

Nicky stood by her sister this time and looked at the card in Simon's hand sour: "Simon, will you call her?"

Simon put the card in his shirt pocket solemnly and shook his head: "of course not."

"It's a lie," Paris said

Nikki thinks it's very considerate of him to cheat himself.

So he took a big sip of the cocktail, felt dizzy and bold, and got closer. As Christina had just done, he put his arm around the man, and his slim little body close to him, and bravely said, "Simon, actually, I like you."

Simon tilted his cheek against the girl's head and said with a smile, "I know."

Nicky blushed: "well, last time you said..."

Before Nicky finished, Paris said, "Simon said last time that she likes you a little more than me, that is, just a little more than me."

The girl looked at Simon pitifully.

Simon said with a smile, "your sister hates it, right? Let's get rid of her."

"Well."

Paris immediately learn the appearance of a sister around the man's arm, play rely on the appearance: "I'm not going."

Then another voice came: "Simon, you're starting to change your taste and like little girls?"

Three people look at it together. It's Madonna.

As the representative of the rebellious girl and the pop queen who has been popular for many years, the two sisters used to like Madonna very much, but the queen lost two fans.

But Madonna didn't care. She picked up Paris's chin and gave her a quick kiss. She said, "honey, give me a seat, or I'll have to sit on Simon's leg and grab a seat with you."

Paris was a kiss, plus Madonna is pop queen, in the little girl's heart is still very prestigious, subconsciously moved inside, give up the position. However, when the queen sat down, Paris immediately began to regret it. She thought angrily that she would find all the Madonna records in her family and put them in the trash.Simon waited for Madonna to sit down beside him, looked at him, and said with a smile, "Maggie, your eyes seem to be different from before."

"Is it more beautiful?"

"Well, more charming."

Madonna raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes. "I just did it recently. I'm a very good cosmetic surgeon."

The queen has always been calm about plastic surgery.

Simon didn't care. He looked at Queen Mack's lips.

Madonna said with a smile, "I didn't make lips. Now I advocate natural lips. It's still because of you. Simon, when I chatted with my plastic surgeon in private, he said that a famous lip needle manufacturer he had worked with for many years went bankrupt last year. It's all your fault. Ha ha."

Simon said with a smile, "I won't be responsible for that."

Madonna grinned heartlessly and held out a white arm over Simon's sleeveless dress. "And Simon, do you think I'm very white now?"

"Well."

"Although I was very white originally, I tried to have a whitening injection recently. The effect is very good. It's all because of you. Now the whitening injection is more and more popular," the queen said, and then came to Simon's ear. "But the most obvious effect is me, Simon. Let's find a place for you to enjoy it, whatever you want."

Madonna didn't keep her voice down at all, so that Nicky, who was still close to Simon on the other side, suddenly blushed. The girl knew that the queen had always been very open, but she was still a little unexpected.

Simon immediately refused: "not interested, I think we'd better be pure girlfriends and girlfriends."

The longer he has been in touch with the fashion circle, the more Simon understands that the so-called fashion trend is never decided by the public, but by the brand, media and even individuals who have mastered the right to speak.

It's similar to the saying "if there is something good in the top, there must be something bad in the bottom.".

Just like now, Simon's preference dominates the female aesthetic of the whole fashion and entertainment circle. In recent years, there are fewer and fewer women in the circle who use lip filling needle. Moreover, many people have changed the problem of beauty and black. This aesthetic style is sinking and has gradually become the trend of the whole society.

Madonna gagged a few words and turned to one thing: "Simon, my" Mrs. Baron "is going to be finished recently. Can't you help me see the sample?"

"No need. I've seen the script. It's a project tailored for you. The director is Alan Parker. The quality is guaranteed. Maybe you can get an Oscar nomination this time."

"Then why did you refuse to invest?" said Queen Mai

"The cost performance is too low," Simon said truthfully. "If it's only $10 million or $20 million, I'm sure the investment, with a budget of $50 million, is already a blockbuster. Maggie, seriously, you've played a little big this time. If you screw up, you won't want to mess around in Hollywood in the future."

Queen Mai's eyes rarely flashed some worries, and then said: "don't you, someone just said that we are good friends."

"Good friends can't pit each other."

"Tut, Simon, you are so rich, 1.5 trillion. How come it sounds more stingy."

"A friend is a friend. If you are short of money, I will lend you. But in doing business, we should follow the rules, otherwise, the best company will collapse. "

"All right, all right," the queen obviously didn't like to hear Simon preach. She went back to her request: "anyway, Simon, you can help me to have a look and make some suggestions. It only takes you two hours. Or, if you don't look at it, please say something nice and ask paramount to give me more publicity resources. "

After the new version of "Mrs. Baron" was passed by Simon pass, Disney, the former producer, also chose to refuse under Vivendi's cautious operation strategy, and fell into the hands of Paramount Pictures of sigram, which also wants to make a difference in Hollywood.

In fact, Simon just said play too much, Queen Mai also knows.

In recent years, Hollywood has been constantly attacked and defeated. The resources that the film industry can give her have reached the limit. The investment of 50 million US dollars in "Mrs. Baron" this time is a big gamble. In addition, this is a female independent song and dance film. Once it fails, Queen McGregor has no reason to shirk. She will have no place in Hollywood in the future.

On the other hand, due to the impact of the Internet, the real record industry is shrinking rapidly, and Madonna's singing career is also on the decline.

If both sides are falling fast, the next step is to meet her.

It's something that queen McGregor can't take for granted.

Therefore, whether it's Mrs. Baron's free hand, or even the recently mentioned serious cosmetic surgery, it's the Queen's effort to continue her career.

The first thing that Madonna thought about this time is Denise entertainment. However, although she has a good relationship with Simon privately, business is business. Simon actually knows this project. In the past, the film cost 55 million and the global box office was about 140 million, which is not a loss. In addition to Madonna's Golden Globe Award heroine, the profit of follow-up channel is actually good .Simon has just said that the price performance ratio is too low.

After all, it's not just a matter of making less money. Simon won't mind investing, but once he takes over the project, he will certainly occupy a considerable amount of time and resources. The annual film schedule and publicity resources are limited. Denise entertainment has decided to promote "the catcher of the soul" this year. The production budget of this literary drama is only $10 million, Once the global box office exceeded 200 million, there was no need to tangle about how to choose between the two.

However, at this time, Madonna was holding her arm dangling and pleading, thinking that the film was not a failure, Simon finally nodded: "well, it's just, Maggie, my two hours are also very precious."

Madonna came over to kiss Simon. Unfortunately, the little man who had made her greedy for a long time didn't give her any chance to take advantage of him. She just kiss him in the palm of his hand. The queen was not discouraged. She once again flattered him and said, "Simon, I'm yours tonight."

“……”

The Hilton sisters in the audience said: it's shameless.

Simon once again firmly refused, and finally agreed that the next time he had a chance, just like today, the queen could give melisandro's brand a free hand, even if it was human.

After achieving her goal, Madonna chatted for a long time, then left reluctantly. Before leaving, she caught Paris and gave her a kiss on her face.

Simon didn't stay at the party for too long. After about half an hour, he left with Sophia. Instead of staying in Manhattan, he returned to Greenwich, north of New York. Sophia made an appointment to have breakfast with her family tomorrow morning

the next day was September 17, Tuesday.

Sophia left in the morning and flew to Los Angeles to watch the children. Simon also returned to Manhattan. Today is the start day of the second season of American Idol. Simon had already seen the first two episodes of this week on his plane to the east coast yesterday, and spent most of the morning discussing various details with the project team.

As a golden hen that brings $600 million in pretax revenue to danielis entertainment in one season, this can't be overemphasized.

The second season of "American Idol" is finally determined to be 40 issues, 8 more than the first season. It will be broadcast on September 17, and the schedule is golden at 8 o'clock every Tuesday and Thursday evening. Among them, 20 issues in the first 10 weeks of the year are auditions, 4 issues in the winter break, and 16 issues in the formal competition stage after the year.

In terms of budget, the first quarter was a great success, and the second quarter inevitably rose.

However, because several judges signed a long-term contract and the length of 40 issues played a diluting role, it is estimated that the total cost of the second quarter is about 260 million, with an average of 6.5 million per episode, only 30% higher than that of the first quarter.

On the other hand, due to the great success of the first quarter, the second quarter's insert advertising quotation also increased significantly. According to the forecast of the TV Department, if everything goes well, the pretax profit in the second quarter will reach an even more terrifying $800 million, compared with the $630 million revenue scale in the first quarter.

Not surprisingly, this level of profit is enough to last two to three quarters before it begins to decline.

Due to the phenomenal success of "American Idol", many other TV stations in North America have begun to prepare the same kind of song talent show.

Unfortunately, the reason why phenomenal is phenomenal is not only because it is difficult to copy, but also because phenomenal works have occupied a large number of audience's attention in a period of time. Even if the quality of other similar dramas is higher, because people's preconceived ideas, it is often difficult to gain too much popularity, and more will only become the cannon fodder of copycat.
