Hollywood New Century - Chapter 418
After Simon was in Las Vegas with Blake Lively for two days, Blake Lively left.
At the same time, Son Ye-jin, who was originally shooting fashion magazines in Hawaii, was also arranged by Simon to come to Las Vegas to shoot a group of photos.
As for Sheldon Adelson, the two of them only met once, and they only reported on scandals from some Democratic parties. NBC News is a TV station that pursues freedom of the press, and ratings are the most important thing.
In the hotel suite, Simon sat in a chair and looked out the window at the Las Vegas Strip. For this entertainment city in the desert, Simon sometimes really admired Yankee.
After a while, Sun Yezhen, who was in high spirits, came over, bowed his head and kissed Simon on the face, put his arms around Simon’s neck, and said, “The filming is all over, desert casino style is also my first attempt, the film crew all A top professional with great results!”
“Don’t stay and play for a few more days? Anyway, this is one of the four major gambling cities. It was the largest gambling city that was more prosperous than Macau in the past, but it is not comparable to those small gambling cities in South Korea,” Simon said.
Sun Yizhen shook her head and said with a smile, “That’s enough for a few days, but some of the surrounding desert towns have nice scenery.”
“Yeah, Las Vegas was established by the former American gangster organization. As one of the sites for gold diggers to move westward, after the construction of the Hoover Dam, the power supply was sufficient, and the speed of Las Vegas was accelerated. Construction, and then it became the pearl in the American Western Desert,” Simon said, shaking his head and laughing,
“It’s ironic, the early gangs penetrated every industry in the United States deeply.”
Of course, these Son Yezhen didn’t know much about it, so they asked: “Isn’t there a lot of movies being released at this time? Why not in Los Angeles, but in Las Vegas?”
“I’ll go back tomorrow. It’s not too far from Los Angeles. It’s more than 400 kilometers. Let me drive you back. You can enjoy the scenery along the way,” Simon said with a smile.
Sun Yezhen nodded. She has also been shopping around in the past few days, which is very strange. After all, there is no such place in Korea.
Between Las Vegas and Los Angeles, you can drive on Interstate 15, the scenery of the Rocky Mountains, and the desolate desert. Although it is not as interesting as the Pacific Highway 1, it is also not interesting.
The next morning, Simon Parker took Son Yejin in a yellow Chevrolet Corvette Z06 hardtop convertible from Las Vegas to Los Angeles along Highway 15.
After leaving Las Vegas, there are continuous deserts on both sides, some unknown drought-tolerant plants grow along the road, and the blue sky is full of white clouds. The shadows of white clouds lit by the sun lined the uneven ground, and their dark shadows moved forward, bringing life to the desert that was supposed to be dead all around.
The desolate desert on both sides of the road was accompanied by the passionate music in the car, and the dawning sun shone brightly on the heads of the two of them.
“Americans like car travel very much. They drive where they can go, so the highways in the United States are very developed. Although the railway mileage is also long, it is mainly freight,” Simon explained to Son Yejin, who was beside him while driving. .
Wearing a cool dress and cool sunglasses, Son Ye-jin felt the wildness of the muscle sports car on the road, and her excitement was beyond words.
“America is too big, there are too many places to go, our Korea is too small, my experience of going to China is similar to now,” Son Ye-jin smiled as she felt the wind with her arms raised.
“There’s a small town ahead, let’s go in and take a break and have something to eat,” Simon laughed.
It is almost 150 kilometers away from Las Vegas. In Baker Town, a transit town, many drivers will stop for a while.
Parked the car near a Mexican restaurant in this desolate town and put the roof away.
Afterwards, Simon hugged Son Yezhen and kissed in the car. A few minutes later, Simon got out of the car with his wallet.
“Hey, don’t all Americans like to use credit cards?” Sun Yezhen saw that Simon seemed to bring a lot of cash to get off the bus.
“Well, yes, it is true that most of them are swiped by card. Usually I do too. Usually, assistants or bodyguards are in charge. However, when I am alone, I still like to use some cash. For small consumption or anonymous consumption, cash is convenient and also It’s convenient for me to tip,” Simon said, raising the wallet in his hand, which contained more than ten hundred dollars and more than a dozen cash notes of 20 and 10 dollars.
Well, Simon is not an ordinary person, it doesn’t matter how he spends his money. Even if ordinary Americans bring cash, the maximum denomination is 20 dollars, and the most are 25 cent coins and 1 dollar and 5 dollars.
As for the $50,100, that’s rare, it’s cheap in the U.S., and it’s hard to spend in large denominations.
After taking Son Ye-jin to eat at the restaurant, the two took a break before continuing on the road.
Of course, the time is slowly approaching noon, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the hood will definitely not be opened.
“The giant thermometer at the door of the restaurant just now was really high,” said Son Ye Jin, still a little surprised.
“Oh, the thermometer in Baker Town is the highest thermometer in the world. It is more than 40 meters high. Many people go to take pictures. It also attracts many people to Baker Town. Otherwise, how could there be thousands of people living in that desolate town,” Simon said. Explained with a smile.
In this way, stop-and-go from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, Simon actually drove the Corvette for almost 6 hours to get there.
It was the first time for Son Ye-jin to come to Simon’s hilltop villa in Beverly Hills.
Although Sun Yizhen, who debuted for more than ten years, has also accumulated some wealth, but the Korean entertainment market is so big, Sun Yizhen’s current wealth is really not very rich, that is, the net worth has only started to rise after winning awards in recent years.
“It’s really big here!” After Sun Yizhen followed Simon into the hall of the manor, she was really envious.
Simon smiled and poured a glass of red wine and handed it to Son Yejin, and said, “After the financial tsunami, the Korean economy has also recovered. You are now a top Korean actress, and your income should be good!”
Sun Yezhen shook her head and smiled: “My main market is only South Korea, and I can’t compare with many other actors;”
“However, now the company is helping me develop the Chinese market. The Chinese market is huge, and many Korean stars are specifically targeted.”
“Yes, with the Chinese market, there is basically no need to worry,” Simon curled his lips, then stretched his waist,
“Let’s rest for a while, and then take you out for a walk in the evening.”
I drove for several hours. In the early years, Simon drove a sports car very frequently. After all, his dream in his previous life was not. Later, there were really few, how could there be a nanny car that is comfortable!
