"Sorry, I need to attend a business party for the evening." Penelope Pataky did not agree, but watched Ryan refuse.
Regarding Penelope Pataky's refusal, Ryan could only shrug his shoulders without expressing anything.
"However." Penelope Pataky suddenly changed her voice and said, "You can go there with me."
"Very happy to serve a beautiful lady." Ryan agreed with a smile.
Now the two drove to the outside of the Four Seasons Hotel, and they could see a lot of vehicles on the road from a distance, almost all luxury cars, and even some familiar figures could be seen at the entrance of the hotel.
"This is high society in Los Angeles!" Ryan looked out through the car window.
"A party from a real estate agent in New York. My mother knew him, and he was not a high-society one." Penelope Pataky parked the car, held Ryan's arm, and walked towards Walk to the hotel entrance.
Ryan has never been interested in business parties, not to mention that the host of the party is a real estate developer from New York.
When he and Penelope Pataky came to the door of the banquet hall, Ryan was very surprised to see a familiar face.
"Long time no see, Penelope." Donald—***, who was the host of the banquet, came over very enthusiastically and said hello, "You are becoming more and more charming, but unfortunately your mother doesn't have time to come over today."
"Hello, Mr. Donald." Penelope Pataky greeted, then pointed to Ryan and introduced: "This is my employer, Ryan Gosling."
Ryan Gosling!
Donald-*** was a little confused about this name, as if he had heard it somewhere.
"The director of "Terminator 3" and the president of Orion Pictures." The staff next to him glanced at Ryan, and immediately whispered a reminder.
Donald﹐*** eyes lit up, and he looked at Ryan with surprise on his face, "Hello, Director Ryan, my daughter Ivanka is your fan."
After finishing speaking, Donald-*** stepped forward deliberately, and said in a low voice: "There is a role that suits me, you can send me an audition invitation."
Well, Donald-*** has guest-starred in several films, such as "Home Alone 2" and the TV series "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air".
And "It's Merry Night", which won him the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Supporting Actor.
Looking at Comrade *** in front of him, Ryan said very politely: "As long as there is a suitable role, it will definitely be."
What he said were only polite words, Ryan didn't dare to respect Donald-***'s means of promoting himself.
Donald-*** is a successful businessman who never does things for no reason. The reason why he appeared in many films is to promote himself and the *** group.
After a brief greeting, Ryan and Penelope Pataky walked into the banquet hall and looked at the formally dressed crowd.
Ryan suddenly realized that what he was wearing seemed a little inappropriate, "Looks like I should change clothes."
The clothes Ryan was wearing were very casual. Although they weren't cheap, they weren't suitable for a formal business party. Fortunately, Comrade *** didn't care about them just now.
On the other hand, Penelope Pataky next to her not only wore light makeup on her face, but also wore a black evening dress. Every step she took, she could reveal a slender and smooth thigh.
"It doesn't need to be so troublesome." Penelope Pataky said without hesitation: "Anyway, I won't stay for too long."
"Good suggestion." Ryan nodded in agreement, and he also wanted to leave early.
The two took two glasses of champagne, found a random corner and sat down, not at all interested in talking to anyone.
It was a business party, not a Hollywood party, and Ryan had no interest in picking on people.
"Look there." Penelope Pataky pulled Ryan suddenly and pointed to the side of the banquet, "It seems to be Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman."
Ryan looked in the direction she pointed, and the first thing he saw was Nicole Kidman in a red evening dress, with blonde hair and fair skin, looking very charming.
Nicole Kidman nodded to Ryan in surprise, and then whispered something to Tom Cruise on the side.
After a while, Tom Cruise turned to where Ryan was sitting, beckoned, and walked over.
It is not surprising that there are Hollywood stars in business parties. Many business parties will invite some big-name stars to come.
First, it can increase the atmosphere of the banquet, and second, it can also increase exposure. Many business figures also need exposure, such as Comrade Mao Zedong.
"Hi, Ryan, I didn't expect to meet you here." Tom Cruise walked over with Nicole Kidman in his arms.
"I heard you're preparing an action movie."
Tom Cruise gestured with his hands, "How about me!"
As one of the most famous action stars in Hollywood at the moment, Tom Cruise is obviously very suitable to play Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
Ryan looked at Tom Cruise and said very seriously: "Tom, your salary is too high, unless you agree to accept the basic salary of only 20 million US dollars and give up the box office share requirements."
With a basic salary of 20 million US dollars, Ryan will definitely agree to it without hesitation in terms of Tom Cruise's box office appeal.
Don't look at Tom Cruise's basic salary for his usual movies, it's not too high.
However, every movie he starred in would require a large percentage of the box office share, and even peripheral merchandise and copyright share.
Compared with the basic salary, these are the big ones.
Tom Cruise frowned indistinctly. It is obviously impossible for him to give up his benefits. As for lowering his salary? Unless it's a good literary film, he might consider it.
"Maybe we can change another way, such as making this film together." Tom Cruise said tentatively.
In "Mission: Impossible" in cooperation with Paramount, Tom Cruise is not only the leading actor in the film, but also the producer of the crew, and participated in the investment together.
This is also his first time as a film producer.
Remember, it is not a nominal producer, nor an executive producer, but a real producer, the decision maker of the entire crew.
With the box office hit of "Mission Impossible", he has shared more benefits.
"It depends on the opinion of 20th Century Fox." Ryan pushed directly to 20th Century Fox.
Hollywood has its own rules of the game. It is not easy for Tom Cruise to invest in any film, unless it is a project led by himself.
Even Ryan and Orion Pictures must abide by this rule, otherwise he would not have maintained a cooperative relationship with 20th Century Fox and Paramount.
To put it nicely, it is to obtain more benefits, but to put it bluntly, it is a disguised form of seeking protection.
Otherwise, even if it is as strong as DreamWorks, it needs to maintain a cooperative relationship with Paramount.
It's a pity that DreamWorks in the previous life ended up being acquired in the end.
Tom Cruise wants to share the benefits of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" for free. How could Ryan agree to it? Orion Pictures would invest in the "Mission: Impossible" series of films, which would be more or less the same.
After talking a few words by the way, Tom Cruise took Nicole Kidman to leave.
"You shouldn't be proposing to invest."
Nicole Kidman stared at Tom Cruise and said, "Twentieth Century Fox would never agree to let you invest, not even Ryan Gosling."
"Orion Films could have invested on its own, and Ryan Gosling has no shortage of funds."
"Terminator 3" is a global hit~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Neither Orion Films nor Ryan itself will lack funds.
"I'm just asking." Tom Cruise shrugged.
Seeing this, Nicole Kidman shook her head and said nothing more.
Tom Cruise is not the only one who wants to invest in a film directed by Ryan Gosling, and many Hollywood film companies have similar ideas.
However, not everyone is qualified for this.
"It's almost time." Ryan looked at the time on his watch, "How about going back together!"
This time Penelope Pataky did not refuse, but nodded in agreement, "Go to my place?"
"Still here!"
Ryan put his arms around her and put his hands lightly on his waist, "I can't wait."
The next moment, the two got up and left the banquet hall, took the elevator to another floor, and booked a luxurious suite.
