In an apartment in Brentwood, north of Santa Monica.

At the end of the party last night, Nancy Brill invited Sophia fishy to her apartment. Both of them are from France, and Sofia readily agrees to return her hotel room and move in.

Today is Sunday.

Sophia woke up around 7 a.m. and on the other side of the bed, Nancy was still asleep.

They were quite the same age, but looking at Nancy's tiny face covered by her hair, Sophia thought of her two children far away from her French parents.

For a moment, she even had the impulse to lean down and kiss the woman next to her.

Of course, this kind of abrupt idea will not be put into action.

Sophia is not gay. Although she learned from her chat last night that Nancy has been single all these years, she doesn't think Nancy has this tendency.

Sofia walked out of the bedroom after she went to the bed and drew the light curtain tightly.

Standing in the corridor outside the bedroom on the second floor, Sophia judged by her experience as a real estate agent that the two-story apartment has at least 12 rooms. However, the apartment is not a bit messy because the owner is a busy single working woman, but a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

After changing a room to wash, Sophia began to help them prepare breakfast consciously. She has always been a very careful woman. She got a general idea of Nancy's taste at the party last night. What's more, the ingredients in the kitchen of this apartment probably won't be the type that the owner hates.

Half an hour later, Sophia was cooking a sweet corn soup, and the sound of good morning came from behind.

Looking around, Nancy is standing at the door in a light pink silk suspender nightgown. Her hair has not been taken care of yet. Her face is tired of waking up after drinking. Her delicate clavicle and round shoulders make her look very sexy, and she is barefoot below.

Sophia also said good morning, but she had to move her gaze down to look at a petite woman.

Nancy noticed Sophia's smile on the corner of her mouth. She looked like a cat on the tail and said, "please don't say I'm like a doll. I'll be angry."

Sophia wanted to joke that her 8-year-old son would be as tall as her in a few years. Seeing Nancy's reaction, she gave up the idea and just said, "breakfast will be a little longer. You can take a bath first."

Nancy promised to go upstairs and freshen up again.

In the dining room, they were having breakfast together. Nancy confided to Sophia about her troubles: "my father is 6 feet tall, and my mother is 5 feet 9 inches. But somehow, when I was five feet one inch, I never grew tall again. Although he never said it, I know that my father always suspected that I was not his own

Related to other people's family privacy, Sophia is not very easy to answer, just a quiet audience.

Nancy continued: "a few years ago, when I heard the appearance of DNA paternity test, my father immediately ran to do it. I guess he should have done it several times. After confirming that I was his daughter, he solemnly apologized to his mother and me. It's just, how can we make up for the cracks over the years with one apology. From junior high school, I found that I was shorter than children of the same age. I always felt inferior. I haven't had a boyfriend since I heard the first boy I tried to date boast to his friend that I was like a doll. Later, I became better and stronger, and wanted to surpass all the guys who were taller than me. "

Sophia cleverly ignored the impact of Nancy's height on her family and said, "it's nothing to be shorter. We are women. It doesn't matter if we are taller or shorter, not to mention that you are so beautiful. "

"You can't understand my distress," Nancy sighed with a little emotion. She took a spoon and took a mouthful of sweet corn soup. Then she said, "what about you, Sophie, how can you work for westero?"

"I used to be a real estate agent in nice. At last year's Cannes Film Festival, I happened to be the agent of one of Simon's favorite houses in Cannes, so I decided to seize the opportunity. You know, in order to attract the attention of our boss, I used to call every day during that time, and I used to make excuses to take the initiative to visit. Finally, I succeeded. "

After listening, Nancy said, "Sophie, you're so clever."

Sophia felt that she should be able to become very close friends with the straightforward little woman opposite, which just showed her other side a little bit. She could also feel that Nancy's words didn't mean anything contemptuous, so she just gave her a white look and said: "without any intention, I should be in Corsica now. Maybe I will marry a fisherman, repeat the boring and endless housework every day, guard the children, take care of my husband, and be unknown all my life until I get old one day. My mother is such a woman, but this is not the life I want

Although she had a suspicious father, Nancy grew up in a good living environment, and basically did not experience any major ups and downs.At this time, listening to Sophia's light narration, Nancy felt a kind of bitterness she had never experienced before, so she put down the spoon, reached over and patted Sophia on the back of her hand, and said, "Sophie, I declare that from now on, you are my best friend."

Sophia smiles and shakes Nancy with her backhand, but she doesn't say so frankly.

Nancy withdrew her hand, picked up the spoon again, stirred her corn soup, and then suddenly asked, "did you sleep with him?"

Sophia Ming, who Nancy was referring to, shook her head and said, "No

Nancy was surprised: "why?"

Sophia thinks Nancy's rhetorical question is a bit strange. Is it natural for her to have sex with Simon? However, after thinking about it, she said, "Simon, he is a very restrained person in this respect."

Probably, I can't hold it for long.

Mouth said, a voice at the bottom of my heart so added a sentence, with a kind of shallow small proud.

Naturally, Nancy could not hear Sophia's voice, but said with great interest, "if you have sex with him, please let me know."

Sophia was helpless: "are you interested in this?"

Nancy said honestly, "I'm very interested in everything about our little boss."

"Then why don't you try it yourself?"

Nancy shrunk as if she thought of some terrible scene: "I don't want to have sex with a man."

Sophia said with a smile, "you have to try this kind of thing yourself."

After breakfast, Nancy changes into a black professional suit and habitual high-heeled shoes. The two women drive to Burbank together. Gaomen film's office is set up in Denise entertainment Burbank branch. Today, they are going to discuss the Gucci documentary with Ella doechman.

Leaving Brentwood's apartment, Nancy went to work.

Sophia held the steering wheel and looked at Nancy, who was reading a thick stack of video game materials on the co pilot. She said, "I think that danielis entertainment should actually try to develop game consoles. Developing video games alone is always constrained by the console manufacturers."

"I've thought about it, but the foundation of danielis entertainment in this aspect is zero. We've missed the era of 8-bit computer, and 16 bit computer can't catch up. If we want to enter the market, we can only directly invest in the research and development of the third generation 32-bit game console. The R & D of game console needs a lot of money and time. In the process of developing 2600 game console, Atari had to sell itself to Warner because of the broken capital chain. Before and after the development of 2600 game console, Atari spent $100 million, which was $100 million in the 1970s. Moreover, even if there is no shortage of funds and time, we have to face the patent barriers and content barriers that Japanese manufacturers have built. "

Sophia listened to Nancy and said with a smile, "you're not like a person who flinches when he's in trouble."

Nancy slightly raised her chin and said, "of course not. Apart from these external factors, the most fundamental reason is that I don't think it's a good idea to invest in the development of game console. Nintendo's nes now accounts for 90% of the market, making huge profits every year. However, Sega, yadali and Sony have not given up trying to enter the game console market, and there may be new players in the future. Nintendo has begun to lag behind in the 16 bit host, and the development of PC games in recent years is also very rapid, which means that the game hardware market will form a very fierce competition in the future, and there may not be any winners. In contrast, high-quality game content is always needed by the market. I also found that excellent video games all have a very long life cycle. As long as they are successfully built into a popular model, the production companies can continue to develop it from generation to generation, and each generation can bring stable and rich profits. Therefore, my most fundamental goal is to build Blizzard studio into a video game production and distribution company. As for the development of game console, I am not interested in it. "

Talking all the way, Sophia and Nancy come to danielis entertainment in Burbank, and Ella doechman has arrived ahead of time.

Although it was Sunday, the office building of Burbank branch was still a busy scene.

Denise Entertainment's continuous work rhythm has attracted a lot of media attention, and some employee rights protection organizations in California have specially sent people to investigate whether there is forced overtime.

The company does not have any compulsive behavior, but the atmosphere has formed. When others are working, those who want to have a rest are embarrassed to stop. Among them, some employees choose to resign because they can't bear the pressure.

Moreover, the news that Simon was in a coma due to excessive fatigue came back recently, and the original complaints were much less.

The boss is so tired that you have no right to complain.

"My left foot" was released at the end of February. At the request of doechman, the film director Jim Sheridan led the production team to Los Angeles to complete the post production of the film.

Without getting "sex, lies and video," doichman made "my left foot" a candidate for this year's Cannes Film Festival. With Simon's network established in Cannes last year, as long as the quality of my left foot can meet the expectations, it is not difficult to get a place in the main competition unit."Sex, lies and video" won a media acclaim and an Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival in January. Columbia Pictures is not eager to push the film to the cinema. It also plans to participate in the Cannes Film Festival in May.

There will be a head-on competition between sex, lies and video and my left foot.

At the end of the regular meeting with the later stage team of my left foot, doichman came to the office to discuss the development plan of Gucci documentary with Sophia.

Although the most talked about by the outside world is the grudge of Gucci family, these elements that will definitely affect Gucci's brand image must be taken as far as possible in the documentary.

After a morning's discussion, it is preliminarily determined that the documentary will start with Gucci's employment of a new creative director, and end with Gucci's 1990 spring and summer fashion show in Milan Fashion Week in September, interspersed with various introductions about Gucci's cultural heritage, brand style, classic styles and anecdotes.

Of course, this discussion is not without differences.

Hearing that doichman asked Gucci to provide at least half of the production funds as "sponsorship" expenses, but did not enjoy the copyright and expected revenue of the documentary, Sofia firmly opposed. The final agreement is that gaomen film and Gucci will share the copyright and revenue with each other in half of the budget.

However, as the distributor, gaomen film will be able to draw 12.5% of the documentary Omni channel income as the distribution Commission in the future.

Because time is very tight, the preliminary preparation of the documentary will start quickly after the plan is finalized. It is expected that the new creative director of Gucci will take office at the end of this month or early next month, and the shooting of the documentary will start.

The next day was Monday, March 6.

Sophia spent another day discussing with Amy about the brand cooperation between Gucci and danilisi entertainment. In fact, it is mainly the advertising placement of Gucci brand in danilisi entertainment films and TV works.

Simon's collaborative mechanism is not only implemented within danielis entertainment, but also includes all the subsidiaries under the name of westero. Therefore, Amy also tries to cooperate.

At the end of her trip to Los Angeles, Sophia rushed to New York, where her work schedule was more intensive.

The first is the $20 million Simon just promised.

Westero is still selling shares of six technology companies including apple recently. However, the purpose of cash out has been determined, and Gucci can only continue to obtain the funds it wants through loans. Because of the priority Agreement attached to the last loan, the money still needs to be borrowed from Citibank.

Secondly, Sofia also plans to adjust the management of Gucci's U.S. branch, hire a new head of the U.S. branch, and take this opportunity to completely control Gucci's business in North America.

In addition, two of Sophia's favorite Gucci creative director candidates are in New York, which is related to Gucci's development in the next few years, so it also needs to spend a lot of time to communicate with the parties in detail.

Finally, there are some public relations visits.

When he was still in Melbourne, Simon helped Sophia determine the itinerary to visit the Murdoch family after arriving in New York. The Murdoch family also invested $100 million in cersei capital operation this time.

You must use it when it's time to use it.

In recent years, the sun, the news of the world, the New York Post and other gossip newspapers of News Corporation in Europe and North America have been very happy to track down the various infighting scandals of the Gucci family.

Since Gucci has been controlled by Simon and has the connections of Murdoch family, he will not let this situation continue. Obviously, Murdoch will not refuse this kind of favor.
