The pastor smiled and waited for the two to exchange rings, and said loudly, "Groom, you can kiss your bride now."

Simon stepped forward slightly and hugged the woman in front of him.

There was also warm applause in the arena.

After the ceremony, the guests began to transfer to the wedding banquet venue. Simon and Janet came to the lawn next door to take wedding photos. After the woman said "I Do", she never spoke again, snuggling up to Simon happily like a kitten. around.

After working for more than half an hour, the wedding photos were taken, and Janet went to the tent next door to change into a gorgeous wedding dress with a tail that was several meters long.

Simon waited patiently for a while, and the woman walked out of the tent wearing another relatively simple wedding dress, and naturally put it on Simon's body again, as if everything around her no longer existed.

The two came to the wedding banquet venue, the guests gave speeches, the first dance, at seven o'clock, the dinner began.

So until 08:30 in the evening, throwing away the flowers in their hands, Simon and Janet left the Yarra Valley Park together amidst laughter and blessings.

The group of reporters who had been squatting outside the park finally caught a glimpse of the photos of the two of them.

In the next few days, news reports about the wedding were still overwhelming, but Simon and Janet entered a state of indifference.

After spending the night in their own nest outside Melbourne, the two boarded a plane to Europe early the next morning for their honeymoon.

The first stop was Barcelona, ​​Spain.

Because they didn't want to be disturbed, they only brought a few entourages with them this time. The conspicuous Boeing 767 was also replaced by a Gucci Falcon business jet after arriving in Europe.

Enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Mediterranean Sea, the two went to Casablanca, Morocco, which borders Spain.

Janet still vividly remembers Simon's joke about the movie "Casablanca".

However, this did not stop them from loving this famous North African city.

Along the warm Mediterranean coast, after Barcelona and Casablanca, there is Cannes in France, Rome in Italy, Athens in Greece, and finally settled in Johnston's small island in the Aegean Sea.

During such a trip, the time in March passed quietly.

The rotation of the earth never changes for anyone, and a lot went on during the month Simon and Janet disappeared from public view.

Hollywood, the 62nd Academy Awards ceremony will be held on March 3.

"Driving Miss Daisy" produced by Daenerys Entertainment's Gaomen Films became the biggest winner of this year's Oscars. The film won five awards including the most important best picture and best director with nine nominations. The number of statuettes is one more than the original version.

Affected by the Oscars, the box office of "Driving Miss Daisy" fell by 45% again during the week of the Oscar ceremony, earning $604 million. In the 16th week of its release, this film, which has been silent for more than a month, has no idea Jue has accumulated $7688 million at the box office.

"My Left Foot", which is also produced by Gaomen Films, also won two statuettes for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress.

Since the release of "My Left Foot", the cumulative box office has exceeded 1100 million U.S. dollars. Taking advantage of the popularity brought by the Oscars, this niche biographical film with a production cost of only 180 million U.S. dollars is very likely to reach a total North American box office of 1500 million U.S. dollars in the future about.

西蒙和珍妮特婚礼后的第二周，也就是3月9日到3月15日的一周时间，上映第12周的《蝙蝠侠：开战时刻》正式突破4亿美元大关，成为北美本土第一部首轮放映就突破4亿美元票房的电影。

In addition to last year's old films, Daenerys Entertainment's "Pretty Woman" released on Valentine's Day this year, as of the week of the Oscar ceremony, the cumulative box office in seven weeks of release quickly exceeded 1.3 million US dollars, although the single-week box office It has fallen below $600 million, but with the arrival of the Easter schedule next month, the industry predicts that the total box office of this Hollywood fairytale love movie, which was unexpectedly recognized by the audience, may reach $1.7 million to $1.8 million in North America alone. between.

If it was a few years ago, the expected North American box office of "Pretty Woman" is almost at the level of the annual box office champion.

At the same time, the two leading actors of the film, Julia Roberts and Pierce Brosnan, have both become first-line stars in Hollywood.

When people start counting, from the beginning of "Run Lola Run", relying on directing, personal scripts and a series of films produced by the company, Simon Westeros has made Sander popular in just a few years La Bullock, Keanu Reeves, Adam Baldwin, Valerie Collino and a large number of Hollywood stars of the new generation, but also many old stars such as Robert De Niro and John Travolta The business came back to life.

Such a powerful star-making ability is far inferior even in the era of Hollywood blockbusters.

Therefore, as the DC movie universe begins casting, even if the selection conditions are stricter and the contracts are more stringent this time, countless Hollywood actors who are looking forward to becoming famous are rushing forward desperately.

Wall Street

Before the wedding, Janet, who had been busy for more than a month, had already completed the establishment of the Cersei capital operation team, and the three subsidiaries were gradually getting on the right track during the time when the two left.

As predicted, in March, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other countries in the Middle East announced that they would significantly increase crude oil production, and international oil prices fell accordingly.

Because of Saddam Hussein’s speech at the meeting of the member states of the Arab Cooperation Council more than a month ago, many hedge funds are betting that the international oil price will rise sharply. Cersei Capital has unknowingly traded crude oil futures in London and New York. The market has established short contracts of various types of oil futures with a total value of more than 100 billion US dollars with a leverage of about ten times.

Although Cersei Capital tried its best to keep this process secret, there were quite a few people who followed up secretly.

Therefore, many people in the industry can feel the obvious shocks in the crude oil futures market due to the hedging of capital with different views during this period.

After the Apollo Management team easily raised the first billion dollars in funding, it also launched the planned Condor investment operation.

After the capital scale of Black Rock Asset Management Company increased to 60 billion US dollars, it easily entered the ranks of the first-line players on Wall Street.

On the other hand, the media turmoil caused by the digital exposure of Simon's personal assets before his wedding gradually subsided within a month.

With billions of dollars of funds coming in, it is impossible in this world to earn money through out-of-the-way methods. In addition, most of the income is from overseas markets. The various media and some forces of the federal government have been making a fuss for a while, and it seems that there is no actual effect. , also had to die down.

Ordinary people are always very adaptable and forgetful.

After the bombardment of intensive media information, most people gradually got used to Simon Westeros' identity as the first tens of billionaires in North America.

In fact, many people feel a little proud of it.

You must know that in recent years, because of the rise of Japan, the top positions on the "Forbes" rich list have been occupied by the Japanese, which has also greatly affected the self-confidence of many Westerners.Now, Simon Westeros, whose personal assets have exceeded 100 billion US dollars, has undoubtedly become the most powerful candidate for the position of the world's richest man.

Chapter 339 Madonna's Visit (Revised)

Paris, France, on April 4.

After the honeymoon trip from west to east along the Mediterranean coast, and the warm spring season in the northern part of the European continent, Simon and Janet flew to the manor in the western suburbs of Paris for a temporary stay.

As soon as the black car drove into the manor, which covers an area of ​​more than 50 acres, Madonna couldn't help looking around through the car window with envy in her eyes.

Madonna is also a person who likes to buy real estate very much, but she knows in her heart that it is absolutely impossible for her to buy such a real estate in the suburbs of Paris casually like Westeros, and she may only live there for a few days every year .

After several attempts, Madonna was finally able to book a meeting with Simon today for her upcoming 'Blonde Ambitious' concert, which opens on April 4th.

During the filming of "Pulp Fiction," Simon promised to play guitar at one of her concerts, a promise Madonna wasn't sure would keep as his power and wealth continued to rise.

Fortunately, Westeros has no intention of repenting.

After getting Simon's positive answer, Madonna couldn't wait to reveal this matter in an interview, and immediately aroused strong attention from fans.Simon's guest appearance is a big gimmick for the upcoming concert tour. Therefore, even though it is already the most critical period of concert preparations, Madonna decided to come to Europe to have a face-to-face meeting with Simon.

The car shuttled between the roads for a while, and finally stopped in front of the main villa of the manor.

The driver opened the car door, Madonna got out of the car, and a young woman in office-style professional suit came over from the front of the villa and said politely: "Miss Ciccone, I'm Claire, please come with me."

Madonna was a little curious about the identity of this girl, followed her into the villa, and saw another tall and slender girl in the same dress in the living room. She roughly understood what was going on, but she was even more puzzled.Janet Johnston, well, it should be Janet Westeros now, she has such a big heart to put such beautiful vases beside her man.

Thinking of this, Madonna followed a girl named Claire to a study room on the first floor of the villa. Simon, Janet and another middle-aged man and woman were discussing in low voices around an architectural model on a workbench in the study room. .

A general glance.

The architectural model on the workbench seems to be a building, but the circular building seems to have no windows on the outside, which looks very weird.

Seeing her coming in, the four of them ended their conversation. After everyone greeted briefly, the middle-aged man and woman took the initiative to leave.

"C, go and send Mr. Stone and Ms. Anderson, and ask D to bring some drinks. By the way, Maggie, what do you want to drink?"

"I, coffee is fine."

Simon nodded, explained a few words to Claire, sent the middle-aged couple out of the study, and motioned for Madonna to sit down on the sofa.

After the middle-aged couple left, Janet also said, "Let's talk, I'll go upstairs to rest for a while."

Madonna got up quickly again and watched Janet leave the study. She and Simon were the only ones left. Then she sat down again and asked a topic: "C and D, are there A and B?"

Simon sat down opposite Madonna, smiled and said, "Yes, they have gone to the city, see you when you come back."

Sensing in her tone that Simon still seems to be the big boy he used to be, and has not alienated her because of the change of identity, Madonna relaxed and joked half-truthfully: "A, B, C, D, is it true that Jenny Are you not worried about what will happen to you and them?"

"Jenny feels that if the maids she finds are too ugly, it will be even more embarrassing if something happens between me and them."

Madonna thought about it, and it seemed reasonable.It's just that something always feels wrong.Noticing the architectural model on the workbench, she simply changed the subject and said, "What is that, a building?"

"Doomsday Refuge."

"Ok?"

Simon repeated: "The doomsday shelter is a temporary shelter for unexpected disasters such as nuclear wars, famines, and epidemics."

Ok.

Madonna felt that she and the man in front of her might not be on the same plane.

After Simon finished his explanation seriously, a smile appeared on his face again, and he added: "You have to know, the higher the upper class, the more people suffer from doomsday phobia. This is not because they are more afraid of death than ordinary people, Rather, they know that the world is far less safe than ordinary people imagine. Devastating disasters can happen at any time."

During this period, after several months of negotiations with the Tasmanian government, Simon finally obtained another 6000 square kilometers of land in Tasmania, Australia. Counting the previously purchased real estate, Simon already owns nearly 10 %soil of.

When he discussed with Janet jokingly about building a doomsday shelter in Tasmania, Simon almost forgot afterwards, but Janet kept reporting about it.

Janet, who was looking forward to the end of the world in her bones, did not have doomsday phobia. The woman just thought it was very interesting, so Simon let her hire someone to start planning.

During the month of the honeymoon, the two, like children playing with Lego blocks, designed the doomsday shelter model on the workbench with the help of a professional team.

The shelter is planned to be built in the mountains and forests of Tasmania, with a depth of more than 50 meters, which can indeed reach the level of resisting nuclear companies. The internal space and storage materials are enough for 10 people to live self-sufficiently for 5 years. It is initially estimated that it will cost $2000 million.

While it's all very formal, in reality, this is one big toy that Simon and Janet have created on a whim.

For example, now, after listening to Simon's explanation, Madonna tried her best not to let her eyes show 'You rich people are so boring'.

Another girl came in with a tray at this time, squatted beside the short bench and put a glass of orange juice in front of Simon, poured another cup of coffee for Madonna, and then quietly exited the study.

A, B, C, D, Alison, Becky, Claire, Deborah, the four girls are the flight attendants who Janet started to choose after ordering the Boeing 767. In addition to their own good qualifications and education, the four girls People have also received various types of training from flight attendants to nurses under Janet's arrangement, and these trainings are still in progress until now.

Because it was easy to use, Simon simply made them full-time maids.

Of course, Simon is also very generous in terms of salary.

The four girls only need to work full-time for Simon for five years. In addition to the high annual salary of 20 US dollars, there will be a bonus equal to the total salary of the previous five years after 5 years.In other words, the four girls only need to work for five years to get $200 million, which is already a salary that most ordinary people can't earn in their lifetime.

For the sake of personal privacy, Simon's various properties in Europe and North America no longer employ young girls as cleaners at random according to Simon's original bad taste, but set up a strict confidentiality agreement under the management of the housekeeper. At the same time, a more professional service team.

After the girl left, Madonna took a sip of coffee, then turned to the topic and said, "Simon, have you read the concert materials I sent over a few days ago?"

"Of course." Simon picked up the orange juice and leaned against the back of the sofa chair, "four months, 60 concerts, one every two days on average, you really worked hard."

According to Madonna's schedule of the "Blonde Ambitious" global tour concert, during the four months from April to August, Madonna will hold 4 consecutive concerts in more than 8 cities in Japan, North America and Europe. Said non-stop.

The average frequency of one session every two days is a test of a singer's ability.

Madonna smiled and followed Simon's words: "So, why don't you help me make one more cameo?"

Simon is also very talkative: "No problem, let's talk about the appearance fee."

Madonna immediately shrank her neck.

Just kidding.

Simon Westeros' appearance fee.

The original promise to be a guest guitarist was just a verbal agreement, and Madonna actually considered this issue before she came.

If Simon really wanted an appearance fee, she probably couldn't afford it.You know, the average box office revenue of each of the planned 60 concerts may be less than $100 million.Westeros only made a guest appearance in one of them. If you really want to care about it, it may not be enough to give all the box office to this guy.

Simon was just joking too.

After finishing speaking, he got up, walked to the desk, picked up a folder and returned, handed it to Madonna and said, "Here is a song, including the next cameo, we will settle the matter, and you won't have to pay debts every time. As for the guest guitarist, I will go back to North America in the next few days, and I will definitely not be able to go to Japan. The specific guest performance depends on my schedule. But don’t worry, as long as the schedule is confirmed, I will spare a few Participated in rehearsals every day."

Listening to what Simon said, Madonna couldn't wait to open the folder.

The original agreement, two songs, a concert guest guitarist.

Simon has already given a song "Celebration", and there is still one song left. It has been mentioned a few times before, and this man just prevaricates by saying that he needs inspiration.

Now it's finally time to pay.

The first thing you see is the song title: "Bad Romance"

bad romance.

Just the name, Madonna feels very much in line with her style.

Then came the lyrics and score.

After browsing through it roughly, Madonna began to hum without knowing it, and then found that this song was simply too suitable for stage performances. Madonna had already begun to conceive the stage design while humming.

However, looking at it, Madonna suddenly hesitated.

This song could definitely hold up an album.

Perhaps, it should be the title of my next album, and even the title of the album can be called "Bad Romance".

Although there is no concept of brainwashing Divine Comedy yet, Madonna can feel that this song will definitely become popular very easily.Well, as long as it is done well, Easy is another record with tens of millions of sales.

I really don't know how many things are hidden in the belly of this greedy man.

Thinking of this, Madonna finally raised her head, glanced at Simon and said, "Well, I saw that the word 'Gaga' is used a lot in the lyrics, what does it mean?"

Simon explained casually: "I forgot where I heard it, anyway, it's the lyrics in a song, and it feels very rhythmic to use here."
