Chapter 1356

In a mansion in Weston's affluent area, a western suburb of Boston.

It's the early morning of May 11th.

Monday.

Maria bezruk wakes up because of shyness and continues to pretend to sleep. As a result, she goes back to sleep and wakes up again more than an hour later.

Definitely can't stay in bed any longer.

Sitting up, it was already a quarter past seven, and she could feel the light coming out of the cracks in the curtains. In the early summer, the east coast of the United States was sunny and the temperature was appropriate. However, when she smelled a faint fragrance in the air, Maria still felt a little hot.

The little man stayed here last night. He didn't do the wrong thing. He just let her and ulyanna play by themselves. Then he did another bad thing.

Gently cover the chest, wait don't know enough to feed the child.

Looking at her eyes, urijana meletzkova was sleeping soundly. The bad woman deliberately bullied her in order to please him last night. Maria could not hate her for no reason. At this time, she was careful not to wake her up.

He went down to bed, washed and came downstairs.

Today is Monday. Maria doesn't have class in the morning, but she remembers that urianna has. She wants to wake her up later. Maria is very devout and serious about being a teacher in a world-class school like Harvard. She obviously feels that urianna is not so attentive. However, it seems that... It seems that urianna's class is very popular with students.

Maria thinks that it's probably because she drives a relatively small number of Ukrainians, while urianna is a relatively popular higher mathematics.

Moreover, even if there is no defeat, Maria has to admit that, even though Maria doesn't feel much worse than urianna in appearance, urianna can get rid of her in temperament.

Simon is already at the restaurant.

Maria is led down to a small dining room in the villa by the waitress. The man sits at the dining table with two baby carriages on the left and one on the right. Each of them has a waitress to look after him, and the baby's voice is blaring.

Subconsciously speed up the pace and come to your baby accurately.

Maria looked at her son in the stroller, who was carrying her little feet to her mouth. Her expression was soft, and then she felt a little uneasy. She worried that he would think that he only cared about his child. She turned to the other side and saw him looking over. She asked, "Mike will be one year old soon. Can you come and spend his birthday with him then?"

Michael westero, urijana's child, was born on May 20 last year, two months before Maria's Daniel.

Simon motioned to the woman to sit down beside him and said, "I'll see the time, but it's very likely that I won't be able to come."

Maria is a little disappointed, which means that when her Daniel turns one on July 11, he probably won't come either.

The maid moved the stroller aside and pulled out a chair for her. Maria sat down next to the man and responded to the maid's question about what to eat for breakfast. She turned and looked at him again and said, "what are you doing these days?"

Simon knew that women didn't really care about it. He said with a smile, "busy, busy, the daily lives of trillions. How about you, Victor, how are they, and Annette?"

Maria smiles gently. She can't feel the gap between herself and the man in stirring up the topic. It's obviously a good start to talk about her proud children with a mother whose most thoughts are on the children. The woman unconsciously talks about the children's recent trifles in detail, Anton's spoken English is still a bit unsatisfactory. Victor talked about a girlfriend again. The girl seems to be too lively, which worries her. Constantine likes playing basketball. He is considering whether to hire a coach for him. He thinks basketball is too easy to get hurt, Balabala.

It wasn't until ulyanna, who had just got up with a lazy posture but still had a queen like temperament, walked into the restaurant and sat down on the other side that Maria stopped talking.

The dominance between the two is clear at a glance.

Maria sometimes feels that she should also resist. For example, she should also pay more attention to the fund jointly managed by the two. Besides, the two children, at least, urijana's own children, definitely want her to spend more time. But every time these ideas quietly retreat in front of urijana's natural and natural face, and it's nothing to comfort herself, Urijana is a mathematician, and she may be better at managing money.

So that's what it is today.

Even the other two children of urianna are worried about by Maria.

Those two little guys are also pitiful. At the beginning, they were beaten and sent back to Ukraine by ulyanna. As a result, ulyanna's relatives didn't care much about them, so they kept asking for alimony from ulyanna. The woman simply ignored them.

Maria knew by chance, inquired about the situation of the two children in Ukraine, reported to domay point manor, and picked up her sister and brother.

Urijana made it clear that she didn't want to take care of it. Maria was angry with her once in a while before she was accepted by the woman. However, she was sent to boarding school and could only stay for two days at the weekend.

Maria had to send someone to pick her up every Friday, or ulyanna would have forgotten.

In the dining room.

When she thought about it, Maria realized.

This is ulyanna's villa. If you look around, it's breakfast time and Monday morning. Where are the poor brothers and sisters who should be here at the weekend?

No one was found, so she aimed at the other side through the man. Urijana was talking to the man about the recent operation of the fund. Seeing her glance, she just gave a slight response in her eyes and continued.

Maria helpless, the child was obviously ahead of urijana sent away.

However, this woman does not eat fireworks between people, and she will not leave her children by the side of the road.

It's a little impulse to report to a man. If you think about it, you'd better give it up. Men certainly don't like women who report in private.

It's nothing more than spending more time on your own. It's not a big deal.

After breakfast, I thought it was a separation. After careful asking, I learned that the man would go to several universities here today and personally review some research projects.

Maria only has class in the afternoon. She has some expectations in her heart. If only she could be with him.

After all, he is his own man. Even in front of outsiders, Maria is always shy about this relationship. But now that he is the father of his children, Maria unconsciously relies on him.

I'd better hold back the thought.

After all, there are still two little guys to take care of. I also need to ask the waitress here where she has lost her sister and brother and where she lives.

A lot of things.

When she saw the man off, she found that the other party was also in the car. Maria couldn't help but remind her that she had already asked for a substitute teacher to ask for leave today.

Looking at the man's car all the way out of the manor gate, Maria, standing in front of the villa door, finally felt aggrieved.

Damned woman!

Boston has not only Harvard and MIT, but also three other top ranked universities in the United States, making up the top five universities in Boston.

Simon's trip today is about that.

In fact, it's 3G plan.

Simon has to personally participate in the audit of some research projects related to the 3G plan. Of course, Simon can only be regarded as an onlooker, and is mainly approved by a special expert team, and then Simon pays for it.

On Monday, Simon went through seven projects in a row, such as "hibernation mechanism of mammals" and "Research on high temperature superconducting materials". Until dusk came, he didn't stay here any more. Instead, he took a helicopter to East Hampton, long island.

I'll leave the schedule in advance to grace and Bryce who came here for the last time.

Tuesday's daytime schedule is similar to Monday's, with the goal of several university related projects on this side of New York.

Simon is throwing money all over the place now.

So on Wednesday, we set out again to return to the west coast.

This is May 13.

Two things, one is the opening of the 51st Cannes Film Festival. Besides Zhang Guoshi's hero, danielis has also been shortlisted for the other two films this year, which is still a force that Cannes can't ignore.

The other is about the other side of the ocean.

Today is also the local time. China's CNOOC officially announced its plan of IPO overseas and announced the list of cooperative investment banks. The main target on Wall Street is Solomon company, which Simon has known privately some time ago.

Now it should be called Solomon mibon.

This is a new investment bank after the merger of Citigroup and traveller group and the merger of Salomon Brothers and Smith Barney retail. At first glance, Meibang retail seems to be a supermarket chain, but of course it is not. The retail here is the distribution of stocks and bonds.

Backed by two newly merged financial and insurance giants, Citigroup and traveller, the strength of the new Salomon Smith Barney can not be underestimated, and CNOOC may also take a fancy to this.

Simon just looked on.

I knew in advance that in addition to the early contact with this project in the westero system, Goldman Sachs, Morgan, Lehman and other companies were also interested in it, and eventually gave it to Salomon Smith Barney, which actually offended a lot of people.

You can imagine what these people will do in private.

After all, because of his current position, Simon's position is the westero system, not even the country or the Westeros. Therefore, even if he has a tendency, he will not do anything specially.

On the second day of returning to the west coast, Denise Entertainment's first major summer film "secrets of Los Angeles" premiered at the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, with Director Brian De Palma, four leading actors and actresses, Hugh Jackman, Brad Pitt, Kevin Spacey and Nicole Kidman all dressed up.

Among them, even Hugh Jackman, the least famous, left a considerable impression on the audience with his elegant image as a priest in "beyond time and space contact" last year.

This time, playing a police officer with an irascible character and pressing "Superman" Brad Pitt to become the first leading actor, has aroused widespread media discussion, so more and more people pay attention to the film.

However, the key is the film itself.

On the second day of the premiere ceremony, the film's word-of-mouth was lifted. With Simon personally checking the pass in private, the new version of Los Angeles secret was no less than the original version. What's more, it didn't repeat the mistake of Palma's Black Dahlia. The comprehensive media score of the film reached 9.1, reaching the classic level, Hollywood Reporter also praised it as one of Brian De Palma's best movies in the last 10 years.

On May 15, Friday, Los Angeles secret officially started large-scale painting, with 2934 screens, which is already a blockbuster treatment.

Another is the week before the front stop.

During the box office week from May 8 to May 14, it is worth mentioning that Fage cooperated with Wu, the white dove, in "the fatal Postcard". After all, Fage cooperated with Wu, the two most famous Chinese American filmmakers in Hollywood, and had the foreshadowing of "face changing", "Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon" and other projects. Coupled with the good reputation, the box office of the first week of the film reached $18.73 million, compared with the cost of $30 million, As long as the follow-up of the film here will not plunge, it is estimated that the box office of 40 million or so, even if it is not a surprise, will be enough to satisfy paramount. After all, such achievements can be recovered by buying a little overseas.

After the box office of the first week came out, paramount celebrated a little on Friday night.

Into the weekend, or back to Cannes, "hero" premiered in Cannes this Saturday.

According to a common practice in some film festivals, the earlier a film is shown, the less likely it is to win an award. The Cannes Film Festival is expected to last for 13 days, and the director will not finish until May 25. The premiere of hero will be held on May 16, and it will be almost forgotten by the audience when the festival closes.

But that's what Daniels entertainment wants.

As for the quality of hero, there is no doubt that Zhang Guoshi is very attentive. However, it is far from winning the prize. After all, compared with Zhang Guoshi's previous films, the commercial flavor of hero is too strong. Cannes also knows this very well. The reason why hero was accepted into the main competition unit this time was just to win over the famous filmmaker, At the same time to increase the popularity of the film festival.

As for giving awards, it's impossible.

After all, last year's crouching tiger, hidden dragon has been given once, twice in a row, or similar themes, everyone will have opinions.

Therefore, in the final analysis, this time is just a publicity for hero, which can be regarded as the premiere of a film festival, and then a wave of hype to let everyone know that there will be such a film soon.

As for the impact of not winning the prize in the film festival on the film?

It's not that serious.

On the Chinese side, the super blockbuster with an investment of US $30 million, equivalent to 250 million, is just a gimmick, which is enough for many people to enter the cinema this summer.

In North America, Denise has also arranged a whole set of publicity programs. For example, Ang Lee and Mr. Zhang will be invited to participate in an interview at that time for joint publicity. In addition, Westerners in the film are familiar with the faces of Asian stars, which is more than enough to support the popularity before the painting.
