"The problem is that Miranda is not like a woman in this world."
"She grew up in a dark city a thousand kilometers away from the sea. In the night when the ghosts lingered, she could hear the governor's carriage rattling through the cobblestone streets."
"Every evening at six o'clock, the thirty-two clock towers in this city ring bleakly. In the manor stands a house made of stone slabs like tombstones, in which the sun never shines. The cypress trees in the courtyard, the jasmine vaults dripping in the garden, and the faded window hangings in the bedroom all exude the breath of death. "
San Francisco, Woodside's mountain mansion.
The female assistant is a bit sleepy recently. She always takes a few hours off in the afternoon.
Simon came here, then took on another task, responsible for the little guy in the belly of the female assistant to do prenatal education.
The way of prenatal education of female assistant is very special. She selects all kinds of world famous books to read to the little guy in her stomach.
Simon is reading a hundred years of solitude, and it's the original Spanish version of Marquez. Yesterday, he also read a paragraph of the original Russian version of war and peace. The female assistant thought that Simon's kowtowing Russian might teach bad children, so she changed the book today.
Under the eaves of the backyard of the villa, there is a large deck chair.
With the sound of men's reading, the female assistant nestles up beside Simon, her head resting on the man's chest, squinting her eyes and enjoying herself.
In front of them were the gardens that the female assistant had taken care of recently. They were all very common flowers, but they were very pleasing to the eye. The air was still filled with the fragrance of fresh flowers. In the distance, the fence wall was covered with Wisteria with blooming flowers. Outside the courtyard was a green tree barrier composed of tall Sequoia and low Photinia. The luxury houses in the mountains were isolated, far-reaching and quiet.
The gentle sound of reading lasted for more than two hours. The sun began to slant to the west, and the shadow of the surrounding trees cut it more finely. The female assistant didn't mean to wake up. She still narrowed her eyes like a cat, and Simon continued to read quietly.
Unconsciously also immersed in the "one hundred years of solitude" described by the bizarre world.
Specially, the light footstep sounded. The girl in the white shirt and Black Slim trousers came over and said hello carefully. She changed a pot of new tea and put it on the short table next to Simon.
Simon looked at the girl named Doris Fletcher, frowned slightly and said, "bring me a blanket."
The girl answered, poured Simon a cup of tea, raised her eyes for a moment, saw that the man had no other orders, and turned to leave.
The female assistant in his arms moved discontentedly, and Simon soon went on reading.
It was not until the sun was completely blocked by the ridge on the west side that the female assistant said, "you'll cook for us tonight."
Simon smiles and nods, "OK."
Tired of being in the man's arms for a while, the female assistant finally sat up, still leaning beside the man and touching her raised abdomen: "I think the baby kicked me."
More than four months pregnant, has begun to appear fetal movement.
Simon reached over, put his big hand over the assistant's little hand, felt it together for a moment, and said, "maybe I don't like today's story. I'll change another one tomorrow."
Jennifer nodded with approval: "well."
After talking for a while, Simon helped the female assistant to get up. They entered the villa and began to prepare dinner together.
In addition to Simon and Jennifer, there are two other people in the villa. Doris Fletcher, who appeared in front of Simon not long ago, is a member of the housekeeper's team and has been transferred to take care of the assistant. There is also a female bodyguard in her thirties named Sarah huntson, who was directly recruited by Simon from the federal secret service. When Simon was in the secret service, she worked as a bodyguard for the female dependents of the White House. To be more precise, she was actually a security assistant, because Sarah huntson was also in charge of an eight person security team around the female assistants.
Jennifer's mother, Carol Leibold, is also in San Francisco.
After Simon came, the other side didn't disturb their world again.
The rebolds are very enterprising people, and Carol rebalde can't always be with Jennifer. Simon arranged for her to work as a legal adviser for igritte.
When preparing dinner, Simon gave Doris Fletcher a holiday, who always showed up intentionally or unintentionally, and told the other party to come back tomorrow morning. The maids of the Westeros were well treated, and there was another place besides the villa.
The female assistant lets Simon arrange the trifles around her. She is a little puzzled about the man who just sent Doris away, but she doesn't ask much.
After a simple dinner, they nestled together in the home theater to watch Superman.
Because of pregnancy, the female assistant will not go out during this period.
So until more than ten o'clock in the evening, after a careful intimacy and a bath, the woman beside him had already fallen asleep. Simon heard a slight knock on the door and got out of bed quietly.
Outside the bedroom door was Sarah huntson, apparently still at work in a lady's suit.When Simon pulled up the door, Sarah said, "Mr. Bennett has just called. Doris is in a park and
Sarah huntson also wanted to introduce the details. Simon stopped her and said, "just stay here."
Huntson nodded and said nothing more.
Come to the front yard, there is already a black car waiting, Simon got on the car, do not need to explain, the driver in the front row to start the car.
Along the road between Woodside mountains, it winds northward to the emerod villa area bordering Woodside District, and finally drives into a quiet park at the foot of the mountain.
There are no street lights. When the car drives into the park, the lights are also turned off, but the light from the city is enough to see the surroundings.
A moment later, the car stopped.
Right in front of the view, beside a road leading to the western mountains, a conspicuous white car was parked there, with five or six figures nearby.
Simon got out of the car and walked over. Neil Bennett met him. The others took the initiative to disperse.
When he came to the white car, Simon looked in through the open window. There was a man and a woman sitting in the front cab. On the co driver was her maid Doris Fischer. It seemed that Simon, a middle-aged white man in his forties, knew in advance that his name was rod McKenna, a paparazzi who used to work for the Los Angeles herald in Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles Herald is a newspaper owned by the Hurst group, which went bankrupt because of poor management last year. Despite the name "Herald," the Los Angeles Herald is actually a tabloid.
There was still some anesthetic smell in the car. Simon didn't look at it much and soon looked back.
Neil Bennett and Simon look back from the car and point to some things on the hood.
Simon walked over, and the first thing he could see was an open suitcase with stacks of banknotes in it. Neil Bennett whispered, "one million dollars."
Simon just, um, turned to the expected pile of cameras and wiretaps next to the suitcase, including a pile of developed photos.
As Simon fiddled with it with great interest, Neil Bennett took the initiative to explain, "it's all here, including the two copies of Doris's hiding. I'm sure nothing else is missing."
Simon finally nodded.
One million dollars is really a big deal. No wonder the maid who has paid enough for herself will be attracted. Although Simon thinks it's stupid to do so, he probably never has enough greed. Maybe he feels lucky enough not to be found out.
Without thinking too much about the journey of his maid, Simon looked at the two comatose people in the carriage and said to Neil Bennett, "let Martin dinam and both of them go to New York. I'll give them a week. If they can't find enough, they don't have to come back."
"All right."
Neil Bennett agreed succinctly, no nonsense.
As for what to look for, of course, it's the same way to return.
In this world, the more the top of the pyramid, the more privacy is not enough for the outside world.
Then he picked up a pile of money in the box and pulled it. Simon thought about it and added, "let the frank Bretz team go, and the things they found will be sent directly to the house of the Hurst family."
Neil Bennett paused this time and nodded again.
Frank Bretz and others were abandoned children of the KGB who were recruited by the Westeros two years ago. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, they carefully confirmed that the overseas operation team had completely become rootless duckweed, and had corresponding means of containment, so they were taken over.
Even so, such a group of people in the Simon couple's view is not light use.
Neil Bennett also understood that a team of former KGB agents, once found, would be in trouble. Since his boss has used this team, it shows that he is not calm on the surface.
You know, this team is actually going to do dirty work at the critical moment.
The one that's killing people.
After a moment's silence, Neil Bennett motioned for the two men to get out of the car and asked softly, "where are they?"
Simon glanced at it faintly, and thought of "one hundred years of solitude" she had read in the afternoon. The female assistant also said that she would like to visit Latin America in the future, saying: "the southernmost tip of Latin America should be Tierra del Fuego, right?"
Neil Bennett thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "it seems to be."
Simon said, "throw them to Tierra del Fuego."
Neil Bennett nodded again: "OK."
Simon looked at the white Toyota car in front of him, put his hand on the hood and patted it, and said, "throw this car with you."
Neil Bennett was stunned and said, "in this case, we need to go by sea. It may take a week."
"It's just a week. It's also a week at dinam," Simon said, looking at the two people in the carriage. "Let them sleep for a week, and wake up somewhere. And remember to leave the phone number of Hurst III for them to pick up."It's just a warning to throw people to Tierra del Fuego thousands of miles away. Simon doesn't mean to die because of this. It's not worth it.
After a brief order, Simon goes to the car. Neil Bennett follows him and opens the door for Simon himself.
A moment before he stepped into the carriage, Simon looked at Neil Bennett again, his eyes finally a little more cold and sharp: "anyone else dares to peep here and throw their whole family to Tierra del Fuego."
I watched my boss leave by car, and several people scattered around gathered again.
Neil Bennett began to arrange what Simon had just ordered.
If you send two people directly to Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost island in Latin America, it's actually very simple. You can do it within 24 hours by using a private plane, but with a Toyota car, things will be more troublesome.
Of course, as long as the money is enough, all troubles are not troubles.
When you think about the fact that two unlucky people in the car wake up in the southernmost part of Latin America tens of thousands of kilometers away, and are still sitting in the car when they are in a coma, Neil Bennett thinks that the creepy feeling is probably not much worse than being directly put into a sack and thrown into the sea.
However, Neil Bennett has no objection to the absoluteness of his boss.
It doesn't matter if Simon lets him just throw people into the sea.
Born in the Johnston family, Neil Bennett has personally participated in many disputes between the warlords ten times darker than this one.
Behind the wealth, there are always obvious or hidden power and strength. Without these, even if we get it for a short time, huge wealth will be lost quickly. This is a world of the jungle. There is no living environment where children who have no ability to protect themselves with gold nuggets can roam freely.
Before Simon left San Francisco the next day, he called d-girl Deborah Lipman to replace Doris Fischer.
A. B, C and D can be said to be the four most reliable maids of the westrow family. It's a pity that Claire has left, and Alison has become Simon's assistant. A business plan recently submitted by Becky to the vase fund team has also interested Janet. Finally, only Deborah is left, probably not for long.
In the last two years, the women who had problems with Alice, the housekeeper, were not strictly selected and trained compared with ABCD.
It seems that it's time to train a new batch of waitresses.
This time, we should also need some more professional vases. We can't just let them go.
After leaving San Francisco, Simon meets Janet in Los Angeles and the couple fly to Melbourne, Australia.
In North America, another box office turnaround from June 11 to June 17 has passed.
After setting a new box office record in the first week, Superman's box office fell by 46% in the next week and continued to earn $60.82 million.
In two weeks, the total box office of this superhero blockbuster has reached 173.43 million US dollars, and it is expected that the box office will exceed 200 million US dollars next week.
In the media's view, the 46% decline is more the result of Superman's over stimulating the box office potential in the first week.
Because the box office performance of the four new films opened on June 11 is not very good.
"The values of the Adams family", which Paramount Pictures has placed great hopes on, has 2577 pictures on the screen. The box office in the first week is only US $1958 million, which is far lower than Paramount's first week box office expectation of US $35 million. The average price of more than us $7600 is far from the standard of US $10000.
In the first week, it failed and its reputation was not satisfactory. The total North American box office of "the values of the Adams family" is likely to be only $40 million to $50 million.
However, the sequel to the Adams family costs as much as $37 million just to produce. Although there will be no loss after overseas issuance and subsequent channel operation, compared with Paramount's expectation, this project can only be described as a failure.
In fact, the box office of "the values of the Adams family" is not the worst. Last week, fox animation "the past of the forest", which ranked the second in the screen scale, opened a screen with 1487 pieces. The box office in the first week was only 3.52 million US dollars. It is expected that it will be removed by the cinema next week, and the total box office will hardly exceed 5 million US dollars.
MGM's "ultimate target" has a box office of US $13.49 million in seven days. It does not show a dark horse trend, nor does it disappoint MGM.
In the first week, the total box office in North America is expected to be around $30 million.
The production budget of "ultimate target" is 15 million US dollars. It is expected that the domestic box office of 30 million US dollars will be enough to recover the production budget only in North America. With a little operation overseas, the project will enter the profit stage.
What's more, the most important role of "ultimate target" is to make John Wu, an Asian director, get Hollywood's attention.
At Simon's instigation, MGM has just begun to negotiate with Wu Baige about continuing cooperation with the box office of "ultimate target" in the first three days of the weekend, and the response from the other side is also very positive.Gaomen film's art film "Orlando", with 367 pieces of pictures on the screen, grossed $5.53 million in the first seven days of the week, more than $3 million more than "past forest".
Considering the distribution level of the two films, Orlando, which has both reached US $15000, appears to be more successful. According to the long-term trend of art films, the total box office in North America is expected to hit US $20 million with us $5.53 million in the first week.
As a $3 million buy-out of Omni channel copyright in North America, compared with the total investment of $5 million after the publicity, only $20 million of local box office will double the profits of gaomen film, and the follow-up video channel and TV broadcasting platform will contribute more profits.

In front of them were the gardens that the female assistant had taken care of recently. They were all very common flowers, but they were very pleasing to the eye. The air was still filled with the fragrance of fresh flowers. In the distance, the fence wall was covered with Wisteria with blooming flowers. Outside the courtyard was a green tree barrier composed of tall Sequoia and low Photinia. The luxury houses in the mountains were isolated, far-reaching and quiet. The gentle sound of reading lasted for more than two hours. The sun began to slant to the west, and the shadow of the surrounding trees cut it more finely. The female assistant didn't mean to wake up. She still narrowed her eyes like a cat, and Simon continued to read quietly. Unconsciously also immersed in the "one hundred years of solitude" described by the bizarre world. Specially, the light footstep sounded. The girl in the white shirt and Black Slim trousers came over and said hello carefully. She changed a pot of new tea and put it on the short table next to Simon. Simon looked at the girl named Doris Fletcher, frowned slightly and said, "bring me a blanket." The girl answered, poured Simon a cup of tea, raised her eyes for a moment, saw that the man had no other orders, and turned to leave. The female assistant in his arms moved discontentedly, and Simon soon went on reading. It was not until the sun was completely blocked by the ridge on the west side that the female assistant said, "you'll cook for us tonight." Simon smiles and nods, "OK." Tired of being in the man's arms for a while, the female assistant finally sat up, still leaning beside the man and touching her raised abdomen: "I think the baby kicked me." More than four months pregnant, has begun to appear fetal movement. Simon reached over, put his big hand over the assistant's little hand, felt it together for a moment, and said, "maybe I don't like today's story. I'll change another one tomorrow." Jennifer nodded with approval: "well." After talking for a while, Simon helped the female assistant to get up. They entered the villa and began to prepare dinner together. In addition to Simon and Jennifer, there are two other people in the villa. Doris Fletcher, who appeared in front of Simon not long ago, is a member of the housekeeper's team and has been transferred to take care of the assistant. There is also a female bodyguard in her thirties named Sarah huntson, who was directly recruited by Simon from the federal secret service. When Simon was in the secret service, she worked as a bodyguard for the female dependents of the White House. To be more precise, she was actually a security assistant, because Sarah huntson was also in charge of an eight person security team around the female assistants. Jennifer's mother, Carol Leibold, is also in San Francisco. After Simon came, the other side didn't disturb their world again. The rebolds are very enterprising people, and Carol rebalde can't always be with Jennifer. Simon arranged for her to work as a legal adviser for igritte. When preparing dinner, Simon gave Doris Fletcher a holiday, who always showed up intentionally or unintentionally, and told the other party to come back tomorrow morning. The maids of the Westeros were well treated, and there was another place besides the villa. The female assistant lets Simon arrange the trifles around her. She is a little puzzled about the man who just sent Doris away, but she doesn't ask much. After a simple dinner, they nestled together in the home theater to watch Superman. Because of pregnancy, the female assistant will not go out during this period. So until more than ten o'clock in the evening, after a careful intimacy and a bath, the woman beside him had already fallen asleep. Simon heard a slight knock on the door and got out of bed quietly. Outside the bedroom door was Sarah huntson, apparently still at work in a lady's suit.When Simon pulled up the door, Sarah said, "Mr. Bennett has just called. Doris is in a park and Sarah huntson also wanted to introduce the details. Simon stopped her and said, "just stay here." Huntson nodded and said nothing more. Come to the front yard, there is already a black car waiting, Simon got on the car, do not need to explain, the driver in the front row to start the car. Along the road between Woodside mountains, it winds northward to the emerod villa area bordering Woodside District, and finally drives into a quiet park at the foot of the mountain. There are no street lights. When the car drives into the park, the lights are also turned off, but the light from the city is enough to see the surroundings. A moment later, the car stopped. Right in front of the view, beside a road leading to the western mountains, a conspicuous white car was parked there, with five or six figures nearby. Simon got out of the car and walked over. Neil Bennett met him. The others took the initiative to disperse. When he came to the white car, Simon looked in through the open window. There was a man and a woman sitting in the front cab. On the co driver was her maid Doris Fischer. It seemed that Simon, a middle-aged white man in his forties, knew in advance that his name was rod McKenna, a paparazzi who used to work for the Los Angeles herald in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Herald is a newspaper owned by the Hurst group, which went bankrupt because of poor management last year. Despite the name "Herald," the Los Angeles Herald is actually a tabloid. There was still some anesthetic smell in the car. Simon didn't look at it much and soon looked back. Neil Bennett and Simon look back from the car and point to some things on the hood. Simon walked over, and the first thing he could see was an open suitcase with stacks of banknotes in it. Neil Bennett whispered, "one million dollars." Simon just, um, turned to the expected pile of cameras and wiretaps next to the suitcase, including a pile of developed photos. As Simon fiddled with it with great interest, Neil Bennett took the initiative to explain, "it's all here, including the two copies of Doris's hiding. I'm sure nothing else is missing." Simon finally nodded. One million dollars is really a big deal. No wonder the maid who has paid enough for herself will be attracted. Although Simon thinks it's stupid to do so, he probably never has enough greed. Maybe he feels lucky enough not to be found out. Without thinking too much about the journey of his maid, Simon looked at the two comatose people in the carriage and said to Neil Bennett, "let Martin dinam and both of them go to New York. I'll give them a week. If they can't find enough, they don't have to come back." "All right." Neil Bennett agreed succinctly, no nonsense. As for what to look for, of course, it's the same way to return. In this world, the more the top of the pyramid, the more privacy is not enough for the outside world. Then he picked up a pile of money in the box and pulled it. Simon thought about it and added, "let the frank Bretz team go, and the things they found will be sent directly to the house of the Hurst family." Neil Bennett paused this time and nodded again. Frank Bretz and others were abandoned children of the KGB who were recruited by the Westeros two years ago. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, they carefully confirmed that the overseas operation team had completely become rootless duckweed, and had corresponding means of containment, so they were taken over. Even so, such a group of people in the Simon couple's view is not light use. Neil Bennett also understood that a team of former KGB agents, once found, would be in trouble. Since his boss has used this team, it shows that he is not calm on the surface. You know, this team is actually going to do dirty work at the critical moment. The one that's killing people. After a moment's silence, Neil Bennett motioned for the two men to get out of the car and asked softly, "where are they?" Simon glanced at it faintly, and thought of "one hundred years of solitude" she had read in the afternoon. The female assistant also said that she would like to visit Latin America in the future, saying: "the southernmost tip of Latin America should be Tierra del Fuego, right?" Neil Bennett thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "it seems to be." Simon said, "throw them to Tierra del Fuego." Neil Bennett nodded again: "OK." Simon looked at the white Toyota car in front of him, put his hand on the hood and patted it, and said, "throw this car with you." Neil Bennett was stunned and said, "in this case, we need to go by sea. It may take a week." "It's just a week. It's also a week at dinam," Simon said, looking at the two people in the carriage. "Let them sleep for a week, and wake up somewhere. And remember to leave the phone number of Hurst III for them to pick up."It's just a warning to throw people to Tierra del Fuego thousands of miles away. Simon doesn't mean to die because of this. It's not worth it. After a brief order, Simon goes to the car. Neil Bennett follows him and opens the door for Simon himself. A moment before he stepped into the carriage, Simon looked at Neil Bennett again, his eyes finally a little more cold and sharp: "anyone else dares to peep here and throw their whole family to Tierra del Fuego." I watched my boss leave by car, and several people scattered around gathered again. Neil Bennett began to arrange what Simon had just ordered. If you send two people directly to Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost island in Latin America, it's actually very simple. You can do it within 24 hours by using a private plane, but with a Toyota car, things will be more troublesome. Of course, as long as the money is enough, all troubles are not troubles. When you think about the fact that two unlucky people in the car wake up in the southernmost part of Latin America tens of thousands of kilometers away, and are still sitting in the car when they are in a coma, Neil Bennett thinks that the creepy feeling is probably not much worse than being directly put into a sack and thrown into the sea. However, Neil Bennett has no objection to the absoluteness of his boss. It doesn't matter if Simon lets him just throw people into the sea. Born in the Johnston family, Neil Bennett has personally participated in many disputes between the warlords ten times darker than this one. Behind the wealth, there are always obvious or hidden power and strength. Without these, even if we get it for a short time, huge wealth will be lost quickly. This is a world of the jungle. There is no living environment where children who have no ability to protect themselves with gold nuggets can roam freely. Before Simon left San Francisco the next day, he called d-girl Deborah Lipman to replace Doris Fischer. A. B, C and D can be said to be the four most reliable maids of the westrow family. It's a pity that Claire has left, and Alison has become Simon's assistant. A business plan recently submitted by Becky to the vase fund team has also interested Janet. Finally, only Deborah is left, probably not for long. In the last two years, the women who had problems with Alice, the housekeeper, were not strictly selected and trained compared with ABCD. It seems that it's time to train a new batch of waitresses. This time, we should also need some more professional vases. We can't just let them go. After leaving San Francisco, Simon meets Janet in Los Angeles and the couple fly to Melbourne, Australia. In North America, another box office turnaround from June 11 to June 17 has passed. After setting a new box office record in the first week, Superman's box office fell by 46% in the next week and continued to earn $60.82 million. In two weeks, the total box office of this superhero blockbuster has reached 173.43 million US dollars, and it is expected that the box office will exceed 200 million US dollars next week. In the media's view, the 46% decline is more the result of Superman's over stimulating the box office potential in the first week. Because the box office performance of the four new films opened on June 11 is not very good. "The values of the Adams family", which Paramount Pictures has placed great hopes on, has 2577 pictures on the screen. The box office in the first week is only US $1958 million, which is far lower than Paramount's first week box office expectation of US $35 million. The average price of more than us $7600 is far from the standard of US $10000. In the first week, it failed and its reputation was not satisfactory. The total North American box office of "the values of the Adams family" is likely to be only $40 million to $50 million. However, the sequel to the Adams family costs as much as $37 million just to produce. Although there will be no loss after overseas issuance and subsequent channel operation, compared with Paramount's expectation, this project can only be described as a failure. In fact, the box office of "the values of the Adams family" is not the worst. Last week, fox animation "the past of the forest", which ranked the second in the screen scale, opened a screen with 1487 pieces. The box office in the first week was only 3.52 million US dollars. It is expected that it will be removed by the cinema next week, and the total box office will hardly exceed 5 million US dollars. MGM's "ultimate target" has a box office of US $13.49 million in seven days. It does not show a dark horse trend, nor does it disappoint MGM. In the first week, the total box office in North America is expected to be around $30 million. The production budget of "ultimate target" is 15 million US dollars. It is expected that the domestic box office of 30 million US dollars will be enough to recover the production budget only in North America. With a little operation overseas, the project will enter the profit stage. What's more, the most important role of "ultimate target" is to make John Wu, an Asian director, get Hollywood's attention. At Simon's instigation, MGM has just begun to negotiate with Wu Baige about continuing cooperation with the box office of "ultimate target" in the first three days of the weekend, and the response from the other side is also very positive.Gaomen film's art film "Orlando", with 367 pieces of pictures on the screen, grossed $5.53 million in the first seven days of the week, more than $3 million more than "past forest". Considering the distribution level of the two films, Orlando, which has both reached US $15000, appears to be more successful. According to the long-term trend of art films, the total box office in North America is expected to hit US $20 million with us $5.53 million in the first week. As a $3 million buy-out of Omni channel copyright in North America, compared with the total investment of $5 million after the publicity, only $20 million of local box office will double the profits of gaomen film, and the follow-up video channel and TV broadcasting platform will contribute more profits.
