In the early morning, Simon woke up with Laura Collins in his arms, and after washing and exercising for a while, he came to the living room of the hotel suite.

Sitting on the sofa and flipping through the latest financial news and entertainment boards, every time he sees news about the real estate economy, Simon's heart becomes hot.

"Boss, breakfast is here!" Laura Collins came over with a plate.

"Well," Simon nodded.

"The Spartan 300 has made $160 million at the North American box office!" Laura Collins said in surprise as she picked up the newspaper.

"The US$200 million is stable. Last night, the main creative staff of the crew attended the UK premiere of the film in London. I believe that overseas markets will not disappoint us," Simon said, putting down the newspaper and starting breakfast.

"By the way, boss, the 60th Cannes International Film Festival is being held, and the closing ceremony will be on the 27th the day after tomorrow. Will you go? Our No Country for Old Men seems to be very popular and has been shortlisted for the Palme d'Or," Laura said. Collins looked eager and had never been to Cannes.

"Well," Simon raised his head to look at Laura Collins, and smiled: "With the Coen brothers here, as well as the publishers of Lionsgate and the company's entourage, it should be enough!"

"But, boss, you are the producer of the film, don't you go to Cannes to see the film festival?" Laura Collins asked eagerly.

"Okay, I'm going. David Fincher went last night. His "Zodiac" was also shortlisted. I also plan to go to Cannes tomorrow." Simon remembered that "No Country for Old Men" did not win the award. Bar.

However, Simon is just looking at the situation in Cannes. This time is the 60th anniversary of the Cannes International Film Festival.

Because it was Saturday, the staff basically had a holiday. At noon, Laura Collins was arranged by Simon to go to Cannes first to take care of the situation.

In the cafe below the hotel, Simon was on the phone with Nancy Davis.

"Nancy, are you all set? Apple's stock price has been rising now, and I myself use their company's new phone," Simon laughed.

"Listen to you, short the ABX index and buy the CDS," Nancy Davis said helplessly, sitting in the office of the Nine-Headed Bird Fund in Manhattan:

"Simon, do you know what those people think about me when they know I'm going to bet against subprime loans? Like seeing Santa delivering gifts, maybe they think I'm a fool! They don't believe there will be millions People will default on their mortgages at the same time.”

"Oh, don't worry, it's just an appetizer now. After a period of time, when the stock price is higher, all mortgages will be given to the bank, and another $200 million loan will not be a problem. At that time, use leverage to short the stocks of the two houses!" Simon stirred the coffee cup with one hand. The spoon, holding the phone in one hand, looks very calm.

"Simon, in a year or two, you'll be on the Forbes rich list, worth more than $1 billion, do you really want to gamble on your fortune this year?" Nancy Davis's play on Simon Still a little apprehensive.

"Nancy, seek wealth and wealth at risk!"

After hanging up the phone, Simon looked at the sunshine outside the window and felt a little at ease. This is a $5 trillion market, and making billions by himself is nothing at all.

"Hey, Simon, are you still here?" Cate Blanchett in a long green dress walked over with a smile.

"Kate, your role seems to be almost the same, right? Haven't you left yet, isn't the crew already on vacation?" Simon said and greeted Cate Blanchett to sit down.

"I'm leaving, I'm going to Cannes for the closing ceremony," Cate Blanchett leaned back in her chair and tossed her long blond hair.

"Really, I'll go there tomorrow, too. I haven't been to any foreign film festivals. The 60th anniversary celebration of the Cannes Film Festival, I don't know what new tricks will come up." Simon doesn't have a distribution network now. Can't buy movies yet.

"Well, why don't we fly to Cannes tomorrow," Cate Blanchett quickly suggested.

Simon nodded and said, "I heard that you have just become the artistic director of the XN Theatre. Are you going to focus on stage play?"

Cate Blanchett shook her head and said, "My husband is mainly responsible for the stage play. I will also go back to the stage play regularly. After all, I still love stage play!"

"Now that you have three movies a year, you don't have much time on stage, right?" Simon said and looked at Cate Blanchett. He didn't look like someone who had two children, but his figure was still so good. .

"In addition to "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" this year, there is also "Indiana Jones 4" and an animated dubbing. After that, I will go back to Australia to recharge. I probably won't be taking any roles next year," Cate Brann said. Chet has made a lot of movies over the years, and there are really not many characters that he remembers!

Simon smiled, and he also prefers actors who have performed on stage plays. That's a real kung fu.

"By the way, Simon, there are people in the papers saying that No Country for Old Men was the reason you had a feud with Harvey Weinstein, and that's just the reason?"

Simon was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "What are you complaining about? Everyone is a direct competitor. It's normal that they don't like each other. So many people don't like him, and I'm not alone anymore. Besides, I'm again. It's not a little guy that he can crush to death, it's also his honor to be my opponent!"

"Sigh, I've had a few movies up to now that are directed by Harvey Weinstein. He's really irritable and has harassed me a little bit, but because I won't do what he wants, so, I'm not friends with Harvey Weinstein!" Cate Blanchett actually wanted Harvey Weinstein to be taught a lesson by Simon.

"Hey, the entertainment industry, it's really too complicated, and it's really easy to get lost in the spotlight," Simon said, standing up and walking to Cate Blanchett's side and patted the big devil on the shoulder , said:

"Sometimes, these things need to be fought for by women in Hollywood, and there's only so much I can do!"

For the benchmark figure of feminism, Simon is still willing to make good friends. It is better for feminism to make trouble now than in the future. He still has this feminist label.

Cate Blanchett knows some of Simon's thoughts, people are after profit, Simon he will not do thankless things.

Simon then said: "Okay, don't think about it, Hollywood is like this, but there are times when the rules are broken!"

"Simon, you want to say no, don't you stand! It's a pity that I have little strength," Cate Blanchett smiled awkwardly, the old one must give way to the newcomer.

Simon Pike is going to replace Harvey Weinstein!
