Daniel listened to Simon's words, but he didn't intend to give up. He also had his own opinions. He turned back to the topic and asked, "Simon, what are you going to do with tonight?"
Simon didn't mean to advise.
Whatever Daniel wants to learn, Sophia will definitely give him the best conditions.
Follow the boy's question back to this matter tonight, but did not directly answer, but asked: "have you seen the godfather?"
Daniel shook his head: "however, I recently watched" stealing the wire. "
Simon smiles and doesn't ask how Daniel got into the cinema. The boy's appearance says that he is seventeen or eighteen years old. No one doubts him at all. He just asks, "how do you feel?"
Daniel thought for a moment, looked at Simon, eyes bright, meaning to point out: "even more vicious criminals, have their own ties."
Simon nodded and asked, "will you sympathize with DeNiro as Neil and them?"
Daniel hesitated a little and said honestly: "I hope Neil can take Edie away at last."
Simon said: "that's the charm of the movie. If you've seen the godfather, you'll certainly have a sense of identity with Vito Corleone played by Brando. However, the reality is not like this, the real Italian mafia, cold-blooded and brutal. In order to compete for territory, they will root out their competitors, even pregnant women and children. In order to intimidate the authorities, they dare to attack the top of the government, and even throw the officials' 8-year-old child alive into the sulfuric acid barrel. Just two years ago, in order to kill an Italian judge who has launched many anti Mafia campaigns, they buried a ton of explosives in the ground where the judge passed by. "
The assassination of Italian judge Giovanni Falco in 1992 shocked the world and even triggered a protest strike by millions of people.
After this incident, the Italian government, faced with the strong pressure of the media and public opinion, began to quickly pass a large number of bills specifically aimed at the Mafia, and set off a national anti Mafia campaign, which is still continuing until now.
Simon said, noticing the change in Daniel's expression, he said with a smile, "are you afraid?"
Daniel pursed his lips and looked at the smile of the young man beside him. He calmed down and didn't answer the question.
Simon didn't force the boy to respond.
The reason why Mafia makes most people afraid, including many politicians and rich people, is that they are unscrupulous.
Moreover, Italy was one of the first countries in the world to abolish the death penalty, which made the Mafia more reckless. In some countries where the death penalty is imposed, it is natural for a person to die. In Italy, killing people is no more than life imprisonment. People who are charged with murder but only sentenced to five or six years are also everywhere.
This creates a kind of implicit strong imbalance.
The Mafia can arbitrarily "sentence" its opponents to death. It almost has the power of life and death, but other people can't easily do so to them. Even the authorities can only arrest those almost well-known Mafia bigwigs when the evidence is conclusive.
With that in mind, Simon said, "well, it's going to be a good night. We just need to compromise with the glory club and clarify that we have no intention of acquiring Versace, then the matter is over. "
Daniel's face moved slightly. He noticed that Simon was still looking at himself. He quickly said, "actually, it won't pass, will it?"
Simon still had a smile on his face and said, "it's hard to say. If we compromise, glory will achieve our goal, maybe we won't embarrass melisandro and threaten us any more. However, there is another possibility. When they find out that Simon westero, who has hundreds of billions of dollars, will also feel fear and fear of Mafia, which is no different from those billionaires who hide in bulletproof cars and are surrounded by a group of bodyguards. Just as it happens, the subsidiaries of melisandro, such as Gucci, van cletta and Christie's, are very suitable for money laundering, Wester The Los Angeles system also has a large investment in Italy. Denny, do you think that if it was you, would you like to go further and cut a few more pieces of meat from this super fat sheep? "
Daniel's mouth moved. He didn't open his mouth, but he nodded slightly.
Simon said, "well, back to your question, what am I going to do about it? Denny, I just told you this. I just want you to understand that you should not have any illusions about Mafia and any other types of gangs. They are the dark side of the world. They are a group of people who have no scruples outside the law. They are absolutely not the messengers of justice and deserve no respect. But for us, there is no need to have any fear of the Mafia. Mafia makes people surrender through violence and killing, but if someone treats them in the same way, even more violent and bloody, then the so-called outlaws are actually a flock of sheep. At that time, Mussolini put 94 big guns outside the Mafia's home, and those invincible Godfathers of the Mafia could only be captured. Denny, you know, a super plutocrat with hundreds of billions of dollars has the same strength as Mussolini's government. Mafia use violence, we can also, and more violent than them. Not only that, we can use the power of the government, we also have the power of money, we even have our own army. So, Denny, are you still scared now? "Daniel shook his head quickly this time.
It's just that there is something else in the boy's eyes when he looks at Simon.
Simon understood what it was, put away the chill that just came out of his words, and said gently, "maybe you resist my relationship with your mother, Denny. But you, and Gemma, are in the same place in my heart as they are. I also see you as part of the Westeros. In order to protect you, I will not hesitate to start a war. "
Daniel dodged Simon's eyes for a moment, then quickly looked over and said seriously, "thank you, Simon."
Sophia, on the other hand, the Los Angeles side is always calm, but domay point manor has not received anything messy.
Simon, however, will not be lenient.
The relationship between Sophia and herself is almost well known. Melisandro is a very important part of the westero system. The threat to either of them will be regarded as a provocation to the whole westero system by Simon.
The new week also happens to be the beginning of August.
After a slight wave in Greenwich on Friday, it seemed to calm down quickly. However, a turbulent current under the sea began to brew rapidly.
The continuously expanding intelligence network of the Westeros family was fully mobilized again.
Especially in Europe, Sofia has been in charge of this matter since a long time ago. The original European intelligence network has been dormant. At the weekend after the incident, hundreds of people gathered quietly for the first time from various European countries to the Calabria region in southern Italy bordering Sicily.
The Calabria region is the birthplace of the Italian glorious society.
To be exact, the glorious society is not a unified organization, but a Mafia alliance jointly established by multiple families, and there are constant internal disputes, during which there were even two large-scale Mafia internal wars.
It can be called "war", which also shows the intensity of the dispute.
The most recent civil war of the glorious society lasted for six years from 1985 to 1991. The fierce Gang scuffle led to the official record of more than 600 conservative deaths.
This time, the agent behind the delivery of the threatening package to the fersies quickly found out.
The Stefano family, one of the six powerful families of the glorious society at this stage, is also the main participant in the second glorious society civil war.
In private, undercurrent surging, many things on the surface as usual.
Hollywood.
During the box office week from the end of July to the beginning of August, the most eye-catching movie is undoubtedly stealing the line of fire.
This crime action movie with excellent reputation has become the first and possibly the only one in this summer's program, with large-scale opening, and the box office going down in the next week.
Compared with the first week, the box office of "steal the line of fire" increased by 9% in the second week because of the continuous fermentation of word-of-mouth and the spread of the topic of "God sees the film".
However, the box office revenue of US $25.06 million in the next week made "steal the line of fire" surpass all other competitors in the same period and win the box office champion position in one fell swoop. This may also be the only film in this year's summer program that won the box office champion in the next week but did not show the box office performance in the first week.
Two weeks after its release, the movie grossed $47.99 million.
The box office figure of nearly 50 million US dollars in two weeks, combined with the inevitable long-term trend of "stealing the line of fire", means that this crime action movie is almost certain to become another 100 million dollar box office club member on the North American box office list.
The second place falls on the phenomenal Forrest Gump.
In the fifth week of release, the box office of Forrest Gump fell by 19%, with another $24.76 million. The cumulative box office of Forrest Gump is $195.49 million, and the 200 million mark is close at hand.
MGM took third place on the list of "the alien" it painted last week.
In a word, the plot of "alien" is not brilliant at all. It's just an imitation of "alien". The media's reputation is not even good, only 4.3 points.
However, Natasha henschucci, who plays a small but amazing role in the film, inadvertently becomes the biggest highlight of the film.
For the already mature American film market, it is not easy to make money by selling meat. Compared with the huge base of the same type of movies, many large-scale erotic movies with commercial success are much less likely to sell well than serious commercial movies.
What's more, alien is not exactly a love movie.
The success of the film obviously has a lot of luck. It can only be said that the role is just right and it has successfully attracted the audience's attention. Natasha henschucci continued to make several films that dare to take off and expose after the success of "the alien", without any further splash.
In any case, the box office in the first seven days of the first week of "alien" reached $24.39 million at one stroke, and the first week's more than ten thousand museums also reached the level of big selling films.
As a popular commercial film with few highlights, this achievement has reached everyone's expectation.The box office of $24.39 million in the first week means that the total domestic box office of this sci-fi thriller can be at least about $60 million, which is enough to recover most of the production and publicity investment, and the overseas operation can enter the profit cycle.
Moreover, because of the naked drama, the film's video prospect is even better than that of cinema distribution, which is very worthy of collection.
In the case of the second box office failure of the former "alien" series, it still launched several sequels in succession. Later, it simply stopped the cinema distribution and went directly to the video channel. That's why.
Compared with the output of at least three or four films produced by other major Hollywood studios in this summer season, MGM has only two films, speed of life and death and alien, but both of them are full.
Because of the strong influence of stealing the line of fire, Forrest Gump and the alien, Harrison Ford's burning eyebrow pursuit fell to the fourth place in the box office in the second week from the champion last week, with a single week box office drop of 41%, only $23.37 million, and a total of $62.42 million in two weeks.
Of course, with an income of 62.42 million US dollars in two weeks, it's no problem that the local box office of "burning eyebrow pursuit" will exceed 100 million US dollars, and it will definitely become a member of the 100 million US dollar box office club that has nothing to do with Denise entertainment this summer.
Fifth on the list is Quentin Tarantino's Romeo stained with blood.
Because of the joint publicity effect with "stealing the line of fire", the box office of the crime drama only dropped 17% in the third week of its release, and received another $15.26 million, reaching a cumulative box office of $57.62 million.
In addition to the fifth place, Cameron and Schwarzenegger's "true lies" ranked sixth in the list. In the third week of its release, the box office dropped by 32%, earning US $13.6 million, officially entering the threshold of 100 million yuan box office club, with a cumulative box office of US $105.24 million.
Judging from the current trend, "true lies" still has $30 million to $40 million at the box office.
Black steed and the story of a fallen city, which were painted at the same time as alien last week, were all dumb.
Nicolas Cage and Bridget Fonda starred in "the story of the fallen city" is better, with the box office of $11.95 million in the first week, ranking seventh on the list. Warner Bros.'s "Black Steed", with 1312 pieces on the screen, has only $2.27 million at the box office in the first week, and only a pitiful $1733 per Museum. It is expected that it will be released in two weeks.
On August 5, a new box office week opened.
Compared with the fierce competition in June and July, in the list of films to be released in August, Simon does not have a blockbuster movie in his memory, which seems to be lacking.
Simon didn't have much impression of the two new films "rock and roll" and "golden soldier" which were opened in North American cinema on August 5.
Although there is still a big budget action film "night" starring Bruce Willis on August 12, it is not worth looking forward to the movie that Simon has a miserable memory.
And then, on August 26, Oliver Stone directed Quentin Tarantino's "born killer," which had only average box office results. This time, with the popularity of Quentin's "blood stained Romeo" and Oliver Stone's box office appeal, it might be better.
Then, the summer season of 1994 will come to an end in another box office week on September 1.

But you, and Gemma, are in the same place in my heart as they are. I also see you as part of the Westeros. In order to protect you, I will not hesitate to start a war. " Daniel dodged Simon's eyes for a moment, then quickly looked over and said seriously, "thank you, Simon." Sophia, on the other hand, the Los Angeles side is always calm, but domay point manor has not received anything messy. Simon, however, will not be lenient. The relationship between Sophia and herself is almost well known. Melisandro is a very important part of the westero system. The threat to either of them will be regarded as a provocation to the whole westero system by Simon. The new week also happens to be the beginning of August. After a slight wave in Greenwich on Friday, it seemed to calm down quickly. However, a turbulent current under the sea began to brew rapidly. The continuously expanding intelligence network of the Westeros family was fully mobilized again. Especially in Europe, Sofia has been in charge of this matter since a long time ago. The original European intelligence network has been dormant. At the weekend after the incident, hundreds of people gathered quietly for the first time from various European countries to the Calabria region in southern Italy bordering Sicily. The Calabria region is the birthplace of the Italian glorious society. To be exact, the glorious society is not a unified organization, but a Mafia alliance jointly established by multiple families, and there are constant internal disputes, during which there were even two large-scale Mafia internal wars. It can be called "war", which also shows the intensity of the dispute. The most recent civil war of the glorious society lasted for six years from 1985 to 1991. The fierce Gang scuffle led to the official record of more than 600 conservative deaths. This time, the agent behind the delivery of the threatening package to the fersies quickly found out. The Stefano family, one of the six powerful families of the glorious society at this stage, is also the main participant in the second glorious society civil war. In private, undercurrent surging, many things on the surface as usual. Hollywood. During the box office week from the end of July to the beginning of August, the most eye-catching movie is undoubtedly stealing the line of fire. This crime action movie with excellent reputation has become the first and possibly the only one in this summer's program, with large-scale opening, and the box office going down in the next week. Compared with the first week, the box office of "steal the line of fire" increased by 9% in the second week because of the continuous fermentation of word-of-mouth and the spread of the topic of "God sees the film". However, the box office revenue of US $25.06 million in the next week made "steal the line of fire" surpass all other competitors in the same period and win the box office champion position in one fell swoop. This may also be the only film in this year's summer program that won the box office champion in the next week but did not show the box office performance in the first week. Two weeks after its release, the movie grossed $47.99 million. The box office figure of nearly 50 million US dollars in two weeks, combined with the inevitable long-term trend of "stealing the line of fire", means that this crime action movie is almost certain to become another 100 million dollar box office club member on the North American box office list. The second place falls on the phenomenal Forrest Gump. In the fifth week of release, the box office of Forrest Gump fell by 19%, with another $24.76 million. The cumulative box office of Forrest Gump is $195.49 million, and the 200 million mark is close at hand. MGM took third place on the list of "the alien" it painted last week. In a word, the plot of "alien" is not brilliant at all. It's just an imitation of "alien". The media's reputation is not even good, only 4.3 points. However, Natasha henschucci, who plays a small but amazing role in the film, inadvertently becomes the biggest highlight of the film. For the already mature American film market, it is not easy to make money by selling meat. Compared with the huge base of the same type of movies, many large-scale erotic movies with commercial success are much less likely to sell well than serious commercial movies. What's more, alien is not exactly a love movie. The success of the film obviously has a lot of luck. It can only be said that the role is just right and it has successfully attracted the audience's attention. Natasha henschucci continued to make several films that dare to take off and expose after the success of "the alien", without any further splash. In any case, the box office in the first seven days of the first week of "alien" reached $24.39 million at one stroke, and the first week's more than ten thousand museums also reached the level of big selling films. As a popular commercial film with few highlights, this achievement has reached everyone's expectation.The box office of $24.39 million in the first week means that the total domestic box office of this sci-fi thriller can be at least about $60 million, which is enough to recover most of the production and publicity investment, and the overseas operation can enter the profit cycle. Moreover, because of the naked drama, the film's video prospect is even better than that of cinema distribution, which is very worthy of collection. In the case of the second box office failure of the former "alien" series, it still launched several sequels in succession. Later, it simply stopped the cinema distribution and went directly to the video channel. That's why. Compared with the output of at least three or four films produced by other major Hollywood studios in this summer season, MGM has only two films, speed of life and death and alien, but both of them are full. Because of the strong influence of stealing the line of fire, Forrest Gump and the alien, Harrison Ford's burning eyebrow pursuit fell to the fourth place in the box office in the second week from the champion last week, with a single week box office drop of 41%, only $23.37 million, and a total of $62.42 million in two weeks. Of course, with an income of 62.42 million US dollars in two weeks, it's no problem that the local box office of "burning eyebrow pursuit" will exceed 100 million US dollars, and it will definitely become a member of the 100 million US dollar box office club that has nothing to do with Denise entertainment this summer. Fifth on the list is Quentin Tarantino's Romeo stained with blood. Because of the joint publicity effect with "stealing the line of fire", the box office of the crime drama only dropped 17% in the third week of its release, and received another $15.26 million, reaching a cumulative box office of $57.62 million. In addition to the fifth place, Cameron and Schwarzenegger's "true lies" ranked sixth in the list. In the third week of its release, the box office dropped by 32%, earning US $13.6 million, officially entering the threshold of 100 million yuan box office club, with a cumulative box office of US $105.24 million. Judging from the current trend, "true lies" still has $30 million to $40 million at the box office. Black steed and the story of a fallen city, which were painted at the same time as alien last week, were all dumb. Nicolas Cage and Bridget Fonda starred in "the story of the fallen city" is better, with the box office of $11.95 million in the first week, ranking seventh on the list. Warner Bros.'s "Black Steed", with 1312 pieces on the screen, has only $2.27 million at the box office in the first week, and only a pitiful $1733 per Museum. It is expected that it will be released in two weeks. On August 5, a new box office week opened. Compared with the fierce competition in June and July, in the list of films to be released in August, Simon does not have a blockbuster movie in his memory, which seems to be lacking. Simon didn't have much impression of the two new films "rock and roll" and "golden soldier" which were opened in North American cinema on August 5. Although there is still a big budget action film "night" starring Bruce Willis on August 12, it is not worth looking forward to the movie that Simon has a miserable memory. And then, on August 26, Oliver Stone directed Quentin Tarantino's "born killer," which had only average box office results. This time, with the popularity of Quentin's "blood stained Romeo" and Oliver Stone's box office appeal, it might be better. Then, the summer season of 1994 will come to an end in another box office week on September 1.
