Natasha Kinski was wearing a somewhat conservative round-neck long-sleeved dress tonight. Hearing Simon's greeting, she looked at him with a confused expression. She didn't take Simon's hand, but shook her slender Pointing at him, he stammered: "You, um, you are, oh, I remembered, you are Simon Westeros, by the way, what does 'Westeros' mean?"

Simon didn't expect this beautiful brunette to react like this, and he even wondered if she was high.

Withdrawing his hand calmly, Simon smiled and said, "'Westero' is the surname I took for myself, and it has no other meaning."

"Oh, do you think I'm stupid?" Natasha Kinski said, but her eyes swam to Janet next to Simon, and her pupils suddenly lit up: "Esmeralda, I was at Saw you in the movies and your acting was amazing."

As Natasha Kinski said, she approached very familiarly and snatched Janet away from Simon. Like good sisters, they were about to walk to other places arm in arm, and Janet slapped Simon. With a wink, he chatted with Natasha Kinski and left with a smile.

Simon was even more puzzled about what happened.

In my memory, besides liking old men, this controversial glamorous actress doesn't seem to have lily tendencies?

When Natasha Kinski's husband saw his wife throwing himself away and walking away, his face was obviously a little ugly, he simply greeted Simon, then turned and walked away.

Simon looked around, just shrugged, and walked towards the crew of "When Harry Met Sally".

"When Harry Met Sally" also arranged to be screened at the Cannes Film Festival this time. Of course, because the overseas copyright has been sold to Disney, this matter is naturally operated by Disney.

At ten o'clock, Simon was about to leave, but he searched around the party but found no sign of Janet, and Jennifer didn't know where she went.

Just a little anxious, Robert Redford told Simon that he saw Janet and another woman leave the banquet hall half an hour ago.

Simon went out of the party to find Neil Bennett who was waiting outside, only to learn that Janet had returned to the hilltop manor in Le Cannet.

Taking Jennifer back to the residence, in the brightly lit villa, Simon found the terrace on the third floor all the way, and found that not only Janet, but Natasha Kinski was also there, and the two were huddled on the deck chairs on the third floor terrace, holding red wine Drink and chat.

Seeing Simon appear, Janet sat up and greeted him, but Natasha Kinski still only glanced at Simon lightly, looking very unfazed.

Simon went to Janet's recliner and sat down next to the woman, and glanced at Natasha Kinski. The woman had already changed out of the conservative dress, and she was wearing a light pink silk nightdress at this time, leaning out two Long insanely long legs, and the dress is obviously Janet's.

Stretching his arms around Janet's waist, Simon approached the woman's ear and whispered, "What's going on?"

As soon as Simon spoke, Natasha Kinski on the other side continued: "Mr. Westeros, I have very good ears."

Simon simply looked over and said, "Then why don't you explain it to me?"

Natasha waved the red wine in her hand and said casually: "Jenny and I get along very well, and we plan to stay here for one night."

Simon smiled and said, "But you have to understand, Miss Kinski, the man in our family has the final say."

"Coincidentally, our family is too," Natasha Kinski gave Simon a sideways look, and said, "That's why I can't stand it anymore. Are you going to let Jenny run away from home too?"

Seeing Janet looking at him with a smile, Simon stretched out his hand to pinch the woman's chin, and said, "Our Janet is very obedient, and she won't run away from home. But you, does your husband know? I don't want him to call the police. trouble."

Natasha Kinski changed her position, lying on her side on the recliner and lazily said, "I sent someone a message to him, and I won't be going back to stay tonight."

"Then," Simon said helplessly, "it's already late, I'll ask someone to arrange a room for you."

Natasha Kinski raised her wine glass towards the master bedroom: "This one is pretty good, I sleep with Jenny."

Simon pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Then what should I do?"

Natasha Kinski gave Simon a glance: "You can also come together, but if you dare to touch me, I will bite your thing off."

The woman's tone was indifferent, but Simon felt a chill down his spine, retreated directly, got up and said, "Okay, then go to bed early."

Amid Janet's schadenfreude laughter, Simon left the terrace.

Although it still felt a little weird, it was already very late, and Simon fell asleep quickly after changing to another bedroom.

The time difference was still a bit messy, but after less than six hours of rest, Simon woke up, and the time was just past five o'clock.It was already summer, and although it was only a little over five o'clock, it was already bright outside.Simon's changed bedroom was still on the third floor, and it also had a spacious terrace.

After washing up, Simon got dressed and came to the terrace. He was looking at the small town of Cannes, which was lined with white buildings at the foot of the mountain, and the beautiful view of the golden rippled bay. He was stretching his body casually, and there was a slight sound from the terrace on the other side.

The figure of Miaoman, who was wearing only a pair of underpants all over her body, walked out of the bedroom lazily, lying on the railing and looking into the distance with a somewhat lonely expression. After a while, she noticed Simon on the other side. The woman neither screamed angrily nor panicked. , turned around very calmly, and floated into the bedroom again.

Simon couldn't help touching his nose.

This is really, really weird.

After breakfast, and sending Ken Dixon to drive Natasha Kinski away, Janet explained to Simon that Natasha Kinski was having trouble with her husband and that the Egyptian businessman had been trying to make Kinski Xiying, after several years of see-saw, the actress gave birth to a child last year and reluctantly agreed to come down, but after only a few months, she once again took over the job of jury at the Cannes Film Festival and announced her comeback. start arguing.

Simon didn't care about other people's housework. After Janet explained that he had already settled some things, he put it behind him.

The opening ceremony will be held at seven o'clock in the afternoon.

However, before that, the organizer also arranged a media photoshoot for the main creators of the shortlisted works. Simon was busy all morning for this, and took a short break for a few hours in the afternoon, and the crew of "Pulp Fiction" began to assemble.

Around 06:30, everyone departed from the hotel that Orion had booked, and drove to the Cannes Film Palace on the seashore.

第165章 电影节安排（修）

The Cannes Film Festival is a highly hierarchical film event.

Celebrities with different positions have their own circles, media reporters with different backgrounds and qualifications have press cards representing different authorities, and different types of guests appear on the red carpet at the opening ceremony at different times.

As the most watched main competition film of this film festival, the crew of "Pulp Fiction" arrived at the Palace of Film on the Cannes seaside near the end of the red carpet ceremony.Even so, after getting off the car, some staff came to signal Simon and his party to wait a while.

On the side of the road at the entrance, some autographs were signed for the screaming crowd on both sides of the road. After a few minutes, the crew was able to enter the venue.

In the 80s, the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival was only a short section of the 24 steps of glory at the entrance of the Palace of Films. Simon and others stepped onto the media passageway from the side of the road to the steps, and the reporters on both sides suddenly became excited.

In addition to Simon and Janet, the "Pulp Fiction" crew also includes Robert De Niro, John Travolta, Semel L. Jackson, Nicole Kidman, Madonna, Sean Penn and others who have previously Robert Redford, who led the crew of "The Battle of the Bean Fields" through the red carpet once and turned out specially at this time, more than half of the nine people are all high-profile first-line celebrities.

Most of the guests who participated in the opening ceremony had already entered half an hour before the red carpet ceremony. At this time, there was only the crew of "Pulp Fiction" on the media channel, and everyone naturally became the focus of attention of reporters on both sides.

After cooperating with various poses, Simon wanted to take Janet forward, but was politely stopped by the staff, and continued to pose under the flashlight for a while before everyone was able to climb the steps of glory, followed by another take pictures.

While standing on the top of the steps to take a group photo, Simon saw the judges of this year's main competition unit appearing at the end of the media channel. According to the usual practice, the judges of the main competition unit usually step on the red carpet at the last moment.Obviously, "Pulp Fiction" was ranked in the penultimate wave.

Enter the Lumiere Hall of the Film Palace, which can accommodate more than 2000 people, and the opening ceremony of the film festival will begin soon.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of the red carpet ceremony, the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival is lacklustre.

The host of the opening ceremony this time was the French actress Matilda May, who Simon only remembered had starred in the last part of Spanish director Bigus Luna's 'Aberia Trilogy'.

The half-hour opening ceremony process is very fixed, not as relaxed and humorous as the Oscar ceremony. After the serious opening speech, the host invited the judges of this year's main competition unit to sit on the stage and give a general introduction, with a song and dance performance in the middle , and then began to introduce the nominated films of this year, and then ended.

Watching Matilda May in a water-blue evening dress on the stage begin her curtain call, Janet in the audience leaned on Simon and whispered: "It's so boring, Simon, we really want to stay and watch the opening ceremony video?"

Simon nodded and said, "If you don't want to read it, you can go back first."

Janet rubbed Simon's shoulder and said, "I must be with you."

After the opening ceremony, some guests usually choose to leave early.

However, after seeing the information about the opening film of this film festival, Simon decided to stay after the opening ceremony.

Because the name of the opening film is "Blue Sea and Blue Sky", directed by Luc Besson.In the original time and space, "Blue Sea and Blue Sky", as the most successful French film in the 80s, has been released in theaters for a year, and this alone is enough to prove the excellence of the film.

Simon had also seen this movie in his previous life, but it was on a pirated disc at that time, and he liked it very much.Now, since he has the opportunity to relive it on the big screen, he will naturally not miss it.

Knowing that Simon intends to continue watching the opening film, the rest of the crew also stayed with great interest.

After a brief pause, the screening of the film began soon.

"Blue Sky" has two storylines, the rivalry between the two top divers played by Jean Reno and Jean-Marc Barr, and the rivalry between the two top divers played by Jean-Marc Barr and Rosanna Arquette. The emotional line between the male and female protagonists.

In Simon's view, the focus of the story is actually Jacques played by Jean-Marc Barr, the male protagonist who was obsessed with the sea since childhood and treated dolphins as his family and could not integrate into this world. In the end, he obeyed his inner call and abandoned everything to return to the sea.

Inside the theater.

Simon was quickly immersed in the beautiful blue sea and blue sky of the film. After an unknown period of time, he suddenly found that Janet had unknowingly hugged his arm tightly.This is a woman's habitual little action, and Simon didn't pay much attention to it at first.

However, in the second half of the more than 160-minute film, when the male and female protagonists separated for the first time, when they heard the story of the male protagonist Jacques about encountering a mermaid, Simon finally noticed the strangeness of Janet.

"Do you know how you met a mermaid? To swim to the bottom of the sea, where the sea is bluer, where the blue sky becomes a memory, lying in the silence, you decide to stay there, with the determination to die, the mermaid will appear .They come to greet you and test your love. If your love is sincere and pure enough, they will accept you and take you away forever..."

At the end of this prophetic line, a slightly trembling voice came from Simon's ear: "Simon, I want to go home."

Simon turned his head and found that the face of Janet, who was always a little heartless and crazy, was full of tears.

Immediately putting aside the movie, Simon took the woman's handbag and took out a tissue to help her wipe her face, and said without hesitation, "Okay, let's go back."

Nicole Kidman, who was sitting on the other side of Janet, also noticed her strangeness. Seeing the two get up, she quickly moved out of the way.Simon took Janet, who had been holding his arm tightly, and left the hall. He didn't pat Janet who was snuggling against him like a kitten until he got into the car, and said, "What's wrong?"

Janet raised her face, and instead of answering his question, she asked, "Simon, you will never leave me, will you?"

Simon nodded immediately: "Of course."

Janet still looked worried, and said: "Actually, you are very similar to Jacques in the movie, that kind of alienation that is completely incompatible with this world, I am very worried that one day suddenly, you will not be interested in all this at all. , and then disappear."

Simon shook his head with a smile and said, "How is it possible? I have made so much money and I don't even have an heir. How could it be possible for me to disappear suddenly?"

Janet paused, and said again: "I, a few days ago, I saw some materials you put in the study."

"What?" Simon wondered, "I usually put a lot of things in the study."

"Yes..." Janet avoided Simon's gaze, leaned on his shoulder, and said, "About, about the will, you have already made a will, right?"

"Aren't many people doing this? Just in case," Simon didn't deny it, he leaned his head against the woman's soft blond hair, and said, "If I die suddenly, you will become the most famous person in this world." The richest little rich woman, hey, let's discuss it first, you can associate with women when the time comes, don't look for a bad boy, or I will lose face very much."

Janet ignored Simon's joke and raised her voice a little excitedly: "I don't want your money."

Simon hurriedly hugged Janet again, patted the woman's slender waist, and said in a slow voice: "Jenny, you really think too much. Well, maybe, some of your guesses are not wrong. But, Well, if you want a story too, my flying saucer is broken, and the technology on Earth can't fix it, so I'm stuck here forever and ever."

She carries too many things that young people of her age can't have. With Janet's clever mind, she must have made too many guesses after being together for so long.Simon just didn't expect that the woman would have a fit because of a movie tonight.

When Janet heard Simon's words, her shortness of breath calmed down slightly, and she put her arms around his waist tightly, and said, "Simon, I love you. No one in this world loves you more than me."

"I know."

"But you don't believe in love."

"Believe it, I just never thought that I would be loved by a girl," Simon said with a smile, "Actually, I am a very selfish person. Remember there is a very interesting question, the person you love and the relationship between loving you I will choose the latter. So, as long as you don't run away from me, I will depend on you for the rest of my life."

Janet's body became softer, leaning against Simon's body weakly and softly, "You can go to Jenny's room tonight, she likes you too."

"I know, so I kept her by my side, isn't it hateful?"

"Well," Janet nodded vigorously, hugging Simon's arm tightly, and said, "But you have to promise that you will never leave me."

"I promise."

Janet paused for a while, opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it back.

Jennifer did not attend the opening ceremony with everyone tonight. Simon and Janet returned to the hilltop mansion in the Le Cannet area. The female assistant was sitting alone in the spacious and even somewhat empty hall on the first floor, silently tidying up some files.

When the two entered the door and saw Janet's appearance, Jennifer immediately stood up with concern and asked, "What's wrong?"

Janet didn't answer, Simon smiled and said, "I was so absorbed in watching the movie that I cried."

Hearing Simon's unscrupulous tone, Jennifer gave him a slight white look, stepped forward and pulled Janet to sit down on the sofa together, and said: "Ms. Pascale just sent some faxes from New York about those real-life movies Shusuke's, I've already sorted it out."

Simon nodded, walked over to pick up the fax that Jennifer had just folded and sat down on the sofa next to him, chatting casually with the other two women while flipping through the fax in his hand.

The Hollywood screenwriters' strike is still going on, but the season of TV promotions that should come in May is still on schedule.Although this year's promotion season is destined to end desertedly, there are many necessary processes.

At the same time that Simon came to Cannes, Amy also rushed to New York with four reality shows that Daenerys Films had been brewing for several months.According to the time difference, although Cannes is now past nine o'clock in the evening, it is not yet four o'clock in the afternoon in New York, and it is still working time.

Speaking of which, Simon originally wanted to return to the United States after attending the opening ceremony and the premiere of "Pulp Fiction".

However, the schedule did not allow him to do so.

The opening ceremony of this Cannes Film Festival is May 5, which is today.Subsequently, the premiere of "Pulp Fiction" was arranged by the organizers on May 11, the first weekend of the film festival.If that's all, Simon can naturally leave next Monday and return after confirming that "Pulp Fiction" has won the award.

However, after the premiere of "Pulp Fiction", he will also attend the Cannes premiere of Robert Redford's "Battle of the Bean Fields" on May 5. This is a favor and cannot be pushed at all.

Immediately afterwards, May 5th was the Cannes premiere of "When Harry Met Sally". Although the overseas copyright has been sold to Disney, this film is produced by Daenerys Films after all. It must be very bad for character to completely turn your face and become the shopkeeper.

After May 5th, there was another weekend. Even if Simon didn't need weekends, others certainly couldn't, so there was no need to return to the United States.

The closing ceremony is on Monday, May 5, so Simon finally decided to stay until the end of the festival.This is actually the reason why he bought a house in Cannes in advance. If he only stayed for a few days, there was really no need to go through such troubles, but as long as two weeks, he didn't want to stay in a hotel anymore.

From May 5th to May 11rd, counting the time spent on the road before and after, it basically took up most of May.Simon has no way to return to the United States, and the promotion of several reality shows can only be left to Amy. In terms of business operations, Simon is still very relieved of Amy.

What's more, I promised Amy 5% of the company's annual net profit share. If everything needs him to do everything by himself, the money will be wasted.

Looking at the information sent by Amy, among the four reality shows, the four major TV networks generally became interested in two of them, one was "Who Will Be a Millionaire" and the other was called "Survivor".Simon was not surprised. "Who Will Be a Millionaire" and "Survivor" were the two most popular reality shows in the 90s in the United States, and it was these two reality shows that brought the reality show craze on American TV.

There are not many people interested in the other two reality shows, and Simon has to admire the vision of the TV network, because the other two reality shows were indeed chosen by him at random. Not as successful as the first two, another show in the original time and space, even on the cable network, is called "The Housewives of Beverly Hills", which is actually a whole series of "The Housewives of Beverly Hills". "The Beautiful Wife" appears to be relatively successful.

As for the reason for doing so, in the final analysis, Simon still couldn't get rid of the mentality of mixing sand.

第166章 首映（修）

After flipping through the fax in his hand, Simon called Amy to talk about some of his opinions, and by the way asked about the progress of the casting of the actor of "Batman".

There are not many films in this year's Cannes Film Festival that can interest Simon. He did not arrange a viewing plan, but planned to use these two weeks to carefully sort out his thoughts on the script of "Batman".
