Sophia Fisher rushed again simply after 11 o’clock and walked into the lounge on the second flooring. Simon nonetheless had the script for “Gosford Park” in his hand.

Let the little man pull himself into his arms, really feel him chunk evenly on the shoulder of his bottoming shirt, transfer his physique with a smile, and switch to the script in Simon’s fingers: “What’s this story?”

Simon exhibits the lady the subsequent cowl: “The Each day Lifetime of a Excessive Society Jazz in England within the Thirties.”

Sophia twisted her physique to make herself extra snug, stretched out her hand and flipped by the script collectively, and stated, “It is boring to hearken to, literary movie?”

“Yeah, Altman’s subsequent work,” Simon stated. “You do not sound fascinating. That outdated man will certainly be fascinating to shoot.”

“The one who is sweet at group dramas?” Sophia requested again, and nodded to herself: “That needs to be good, but it surely should not make any cash.”

Simon shook his head: “It may be earned, Altman’s works lately have been invested by Daenerys, the funds will not be excessive, the standard is assured, and the field workplace will not be conspicuous, however the omni-channel operation has not misplaced cash, as a result of he The flicks are nice to purchase on DVD and revel in at residence. Plus, these tasks can be utilized to shine the actors.”

“I see, it is like Melisandre’s personal mini-brands,” Sophia stated, : “Inform me this story particularly?”

Simon thought for a second, then stated: “Most likely, Sir McCordoll’s home at Gosford Manor has welcomed a gaggle of company, together with film stars and producers from the US, veterans who’ve skilled World Struggle I, and a few superficial The dignified countess who wants the help of the jazz, and the younger {couples} who’re pleasant on the floor however have sharp conflicts in non-public, as well as, there are servants who every have their very own tales. Everybody holds dinner events, goes out looking, sings and dances, after which the outdated jazz out of the blue was murdered.”

Sophia cheered: “Oh, beginning with the homicide, the story needs to be fascinating.”

Simon shook his head: “In a traditional film, a homicide case will certainly develop into a climax. Nonetheless, on this story, I really feel that the homicide plot is a bit redundant. For my part, the characters simply now are proven one after the other by the group portrait lens that Altman is sweet at. Popping out is the place it will get actually fascinating.”

Sophia reached out and turned the web page of the script held by the person, and smiled: “It appears that you’ve got at all times been an artist in your bones, and you do not like high-concept popcorn motion pictures.”

Simon additionally laughed: “It is unsuitable, solely likes and likes extra. If an individual would not like one thing in his coronary heart, it’s troublesome for him to do it properly. Details have proved that whether or not it’s a literary movie or a industrial movie, if I need to do it, I can do it properly. Effectively carried out.”

Sophia recalled the directing profession of the little man beside her, nodded, after which gestured to the script: “Because the homicide is redundant, will you let Altman modify the script?”

Simon shook his head once more: “It is simply that I personally suppose it is redundant, however the viewers nonetheless wants some emotional stimulation. In any case, a mission that plans to take a position 20 million US {dollars} should at all times take into account the market.”

Having stated that, he continued to accompany Sophia by the script for some time, and Simon picked up the pencil subsequent to him and started to approve on the finish.

Sophia adopted, and the person wrote that the selection of the intern maid Mary McEachlan needs to be fastidiously chosen, so she was curious: “Why this maid?”

Simon stated: “Mary is Mrs. Trentham, um, the countess I simply talked about, a free trainee maid employed as a result of she was poor and did not need to hand over her decency. She simply entered the higher class and did not perceive something, so she would There are numerous small conflicts with the folks round, main the event of the story. As well as, in contrast with different company who’ve been immersed within the circle for a very long time, Mary is a newcomer and may observe every little thing round from the attitude of an unfamiliar bystander, so it’s straightforward to convey one thing to the viewers. empathy.”

After listening to Sophia, she commented: “Evidently if this function is performed properly, will probably be excellent.”

“Yeah, however, in case you do not play it properly, or the character is not picked properly, it should pull the complete mission all the way down to mediocrity to some extent.”

After he completed writing the annotations, Simon turned his consideration to the lady in his arms: “How was your discuss with Donna Karen?”

Sophia went to Manhattan within the morning to barter an acquisition mission focusing on one other American vogue model, Donna Karen.

Melisandre’s essential sub-brand in the US, CK, after years of fast improvement, though it doesn’t attain the extent of ‘plane service’ within the Melisandre model matrix, it additionally belongs to the extent of ‘cruiser’. additionally entered the bottleneck stage.

Subsequently, a brand new improvement is required.

What’s being negotiated is Donna Karen, who has appreciable accumulation in the US.

The corporate was based within the Nineteen Eighties and is an rising model, but it surely has grown fairly properly over time.

Moreover, in comparison with CK’s boldness and avant-garde, Donna Karen’s model fashion tends to be easy and comfy. Subsequently, profitable this firm won’t type an excessive amount of fashion battle with CK.

Listening to Simon’s query, Sophia shook her head: “It is not going properly. Donner’s asking worth is simply too excessive, and he additionally made a number of facet necessities, resembling we won’t intervene in any personnel appointment with out her permission. How is that this doable?”

“Then let it dry, we’re not in a rush anyway.”

“I believe so too,” Sophia stated: “Evidently the U.S. inventory market has been very troublesome to help for too lengthy. As soon as it plummets, there could also be a begging me to purchase it as quickly as doable. Effectively, actually, I need Ralph Lauren greater than Donna Karen.”

Simon smiled: “Ralph Lauren has a system of its personal, and it isn’t that straightforward for us to purchase.”

Ralph Lauren, which was established within the Sixties, has now been concerned in all points of the style business, resembling males’s and girls’s clothes, fragrance watches, jewellery and baggage, and so forth. Additionally it is in good working situation, with secure and wealthy earnings. In accordance with Melisandre’s commonplace, Commonplace ‘service’ class.

Such a high-quality firm, even when Melisandre gave a excessive premium, founder Ralph Lauren and different shareholders are usually not essentially prepared to promote.

Sophia additionally knew that it was unlikely, so she did not proceed the subject, however turned to take a look at the wall-mounted TV not distant: “How is the final election, I seen exterior, it’s totally vigorous right now, and you’re the just one sitting quietly. Right here, like a person behind the scenes.”

Simon wrapped across the lady’s slender waist and seemed on the large display screen collectively, and stated with a smile, “I used to be initially the mastermind behind the scenes, it isn’t a query of resemblance.”

“Effectively, Lord Black Hand.”

“Good identify, I need to write it down.”

“Ah.”

Speaking and laughing, Simon had touched the crystal ball and referred to as for Lady A once more.

Alison rapidly despatched a file of the most recent election knowledge, and when he left, he took the “Gosford Manor” that Simon had reviewed.

At 11:00 a.m. on the east coast, the general voting rhythm was nonetheless not over midway. Nonetheless, in line with the real-time suggestions of the voting knowledge from the Westeros household’s groups in varied states, Bush Jr. has a big lead, and the outcomes have develop into increasingly apparent. .

It is a large departure from the final election on the unique timeline.

Previously, Bush barely gained 271 electoral votes by advantage of his controversial victory in Florida, just one greater than the same old 270 votes within the US election. It may be stated that if Gore might have gained in different A flip of any state can take the presidency again.

This time, from the real-time knowledge up to date once more, the important thing state of Florida, Bush Jr. nonetheless leads by a big proportion, whereas a number of different necessary swing states, resembling Wisconsin, Iowa and North Carolina, have been gained by Bush Jr. .

Subsequently, the Weijia staff predicts that Bush will win about 300 electoral votes this time. Though it won’t attain the massive proportion of Clinton’s 370 in 1992, there’ll by no means be one other 2000 lawsuit.

Briefly, this election, there isn’t any suspense.

Bush had apparent benefits, and Simon had a clean afternoon, having fun with the snow with Sophia, who stayed at residence, chatting with him, and interacting with the little guys often.

However, the New York inventory market, which was the primary to finish the day’s buying and selling, additionally had excellent news.

The North American inventory market rebounded throughout the board due to the preliminary willpower of the election outcomes. On the shut of Tuesday afternoon, the Nasdaq rose 3.7%, from yesterday’s 7334 factors to a excessive of 7603 factors. After a slight rise yesterday, the Dow Jones index rose once more right now by 2.3%. In contrast with 12,961 factors on Friday, it has rebounded to 13,356 factors in two days.

Such market suggestions has made folks in Silicon Valley and Wall Avenue really feel a way of excellent luck.

You could know that previously eight years, Gore has been a staunch promoter of the brand new know-how wave, and even claimed to be the most important contributor to the ‘data superhighway’ plan. Unexpectedly, it has develop into essentially the most unstable issue which will destroy the Nasdaq. .

The mantis arm is the automotive.

Because of this, it failed miserably.

The turbulent day handed rapidly. After the twilight of the East Coast, increasingly states’ balloting outcomes had been launched one after one other. By 11 o’clock within the night, the outcomes of this election had been principally decided, Bush Jr. VS Gore, 306 to 232 open.

Bush Jr. wins.

The outcomes got here out. In accordance with the same old follow, earlier than 12 o’clock on today, Bush obtained a congratulatory name from Gore, and it was thought-about that Gore maintained the final hint of dignity.

At about the identical time, Simon additionally obtained a name from Bush himself.

The 2 didn’t chat an excessive amount of. After some well mannered thanks, Simon was invited to attend the inauguration ceremony on January 20 subsequent yr. Simon expressed his congratulations, however declined the invitation to attend the inauguration ceremony.

The mastermind behind the scenes nonetheless has to face behind the scenes.

Simon did not imply to be within the limelight.

After all, for the pursuits of this facet, Simon won’t be well mannered in any respect.

It could be completely silly to help a basic election with out asking for a corresponding reward, simply to point out a way of presence. Subsequently, along with the default secretary of state place, the Westeros system will get different White Home cupboard positions sooner or later.
