Chapter 148: banquet

Beverly Hills at night is still very bustling, with tourists coming and going from all over the world.

Inside a black Bentley, Sofia Coppola looked at the mansions not far from the window, "Ryan, from now on, you are already the owner of a film company, and you are also a film company with a long history , and a relatively complete North American theater distribution channel, so... ".

"So what?" Ryan asked, turning his head to look at her.

"For example, how about a Beverly Hills mansion that fits your current status?" Sofia Coppola was eager to try.

Mansion in Beverly Hills?

Ryan was a little pensive. Having a mansion that can hold banquets is not only a status symbol, but also a long-term investment, but he has to pay a considerable amount of property taxes every year.

"not so good."

"I seem to need a personal bodyguard more than a mansion in Beverly Hills." Looking at Beverly Hills in front of him, Ryan suddenly remembered something.

With only a year or so to go before the robbery in North Hollywood, he didn't want to encounter a robber at gunpoint.

As for the American police!

Forget it, private bodyguards are more reliable.

"Besides, I have no money now." Ryan said a very critical question, he has no money.

However, buying a mansion in Beverly Hills costs at least a few million dollars, or even tens of millions of dollars.

In addition to leaving a sum of money in the studio account as the operating expenses of the new Orion Films, it also needs to support Blue Sky Studio and the next two projects. It is almost impossible to spend a large amount of money at one time. Buy a mansion in Beverly Hills.

"A bank loan is available, no cash is needed." Sofia Coppola obviously prepared it long ago.

"Bank loan!" Ryan touched his chin. If it was a bank loan, he might not be able to buy a mansion in Beverly Hills.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you. The premise is to help me find a qualified personal bodyguard first." He thought for a while, and finally agreed. Anyway, he will need to buy a mansion in Beverly Hills sooner or later.

"OK." Sofia Coppola readily agreed, "Remember to lend me a stay for a while then."

Ryan gave her a blank look. It is estimated that it is a fake to live for a while, and her purpose is to bring people over for a party.

Not long after, two luxury cars, one in front and one in the back, drove into a very luxurious manor, at least a full circle bigger than the mansion Sofia said.

A group of people got out of the car and, led by the waiter, walked into a large garden.

At this time, many people had come to the garden, holding glasses of red wine and chatting with each other.

If you observe carefully, you will soon find a very interesting thing. Except for a few "Braveheart" crew members, almost all the 20th Century Fox executives at the banquet

As soon as he entered the garden, Ryan saw the figure of a goddess, Sophie Marceau.

"A celebration banquet?" He curled his lips. It would be more appropriate to say that it was a meeting, otherwise Gail-Anne-Hurd and James-Cameron would not be invited.

Everyone is well aware of this, I'm afraid only Sophie Marceau and others are at a loss.

"Ryan, congratulations. The box office of "The Truman Show" has officially exceeded 100 million. You have created another classic film."

Tom Rothman greeted him personally, gave Ryan a strong hug, and said in a somewhat sour tone: "I really shouldn't have rejected the cooperation of the "The Truman Show" project."

With "The Truman Show" entering its third week of screenings, the film's North American box office has officially exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars, and the first week of overseas box office is also very good. It is expected that the final overseas box office should not be much different from the North American box office.

"We have other cooperation, don't we?" Ryan hugged gently, and immediately let go of his hands. He was not interested in hugging Tom Rothman, unless he was Sophie Marceau.

Keke, I'm a bit off topic.

"Indeed." Tom Rothman had a smile on his face, and introduced to a tall, bearded middle-aged man beside him, "This is Director James Cameron."

"I think Ms. Gail should be very familiar with him." He glanced at the calm Gail-Anne-Herd and said slightly jokingly.

"It's a great honor to meet you, Mr. Cameron." Ryan greeted very politely.

"The copyright of Spider-Man is in your hands!" James Cameron stared at Ryan, his tone seemed a little bit unfriendly.

Directing Spider-Man is one of his biggest obsessions.

Before Ryan could figure out how to answer, Gail-Anne-Hurd interjected directly and said, "James, pay attention to your tone of voice."

"Oh, I almost forgot, you used to be like this, you haven't changed at all." She said it bluntly.

"Okay, Gail, I don't want to argue with you anymore, and you know that Spider-Man is one of my biggest dreams." James Cameron was a little helpless, facing Gail-Anne-Herd, he Has been at a disadvantage.

This has been the case in the past, and it is still difficult to change now.

"It's a pity that Spider-Man's decision-making power is not in your hands." Gail-Anne-Hurd said still unceremoniously.

Tom Rothman had a strange look in his eyes. He had naturally heard about the lawsuits between Marvel Comics and several Hollywood film companies some time ago, but he didn't expect that the copyright of Spider-Man would eventually fall into the hands of Ryan Gosling.

"Could you two stop for a while." He stopped the quarrel between a pair of ex-husbands and ex-wife, and said, "Why don't you sit down and have a drink and talk."

Faced with Tom Rothman's proposal, everyone naturally would not refuse. They walked to a corner of the garden and sat down, calling the waiter to serve red wine and champagne.

Sophie Marceau, who had just rushed over from France, felt a little speechless after feeling the strange atmosphere at the celebration banquet.

"No party girls, no young models, not even Hollywood stars invited over, it was the worst celebration party I've ever seen," she complained.

At almost every Hollywood banquet, there will be a group of young men and women with outstanding appearance, some are specially invited models, and some are actors who desperately squeezed in.

Hello everyone, our official account will find gold and coin red envelopes every day, as long as you pay attention, you can receive them. The last benefit at the end of the year, please seize the opportunity. Public number [book friend base camp]

Their purpose is very simple, nothing more than trying their luck, and paying a certain price, trying to get the favor of a big man, so as to get some less important roles.

"The reason is very simple."

Mel Gibson swung the red wine in the glass, looked at the corner not far away, and said, "That is the protagonist tonight, not us."

"Tom Rothman, James Cameron, Ryan Gosling, Gail Anne Hurd, if you add Arnold Schwarzenegger, what do you think of."

Sophie-Marceau connected the names of several people together, and it is easy to come up with an answer~www.wuxiaspot.com~It is "Terminator"! "

"Twentieth Century Fox wants to restart the sequel of "Terminator"!" Her breathing became a little short.

"Braveheart" sold well at the box office, and she was not satisfied with it. On the contrary, she had the idea of Hollywood development, and it was the sequel to "Terminator".

The current Sophie-Marceau is no longer the literary girl she was back then. Facing a big-budget sci-fi project, not only does she not have any disgust, but she is eager to try it.

"The bankruptcy process of Carlock Films is very fast. Twentieth Century Fox is bound to win the filming rights of the sequel of "Terminator" which is about to go bankrupt, and Ryan Gosling has just bought a part of the assets of Orion Films, and Orion The studio released Terminator 1."

Mel Gibson changed his voice and said, "However, we all know that the protagonist of "Terminator" will always be Arnold Schwarzenegger, and there is no room for female characters in it."

Sophie Marceau's eyes darkened, and she seemed a little regretful. Just as Mel Gibson said, the protagonist of the "Terminator" series will always be Arnold Schwarzenegger, and there will hardly be a very brilliant actor. female character.
