The two had a brief chat for a while, and Frank Gusta walked into the banquet hall. The specific cooperation negotiations will be done by professionals in a few days.

Seeing Ryan walking back, Sofia Coppola asked curiously, "Lionsgate?"

"It seems that the Canadian film company you were planning to acquire was fully acquired by Lionsgate Films some time ago."

"That's right, it's the Lionsgate Films." Ryan said with emotion, "Frank Gusta and Lionsgate Films are coming aggressively, and they won't be willing to just become an ordinary second-tier film company."

At the beginning, Ryan did not choose to acquire the Canadian film company, but bought the distribution department of Orion Films.

Until some time ago, Frank Gusta spent a huge amount of money to buy the Canadian film company, and the purchase price reached about 100 million US dollars.

It shows Frank - Gusta's generosity.

Of course, the emergence of Lionsgate Films is a good thing for Orion Films and DreamWorks.

Can share the pressure from several traditional Hollywood giants.

"Lionsgate plans to cooperate with Orion Pictures, and the overseas distribution company will be responsible for the overseas distribution of Lionsgate." Ryan said briefly.

"It seems that he wants to use the overseas distribution channels of Orion Films." Sofia Coppola whispered.

The reputation and distribution conditions of Orion Films are much better than those of several traditional Hollywood giants, which is more beneficial to Lionsgate Films.

He continued to stay at the door for a while, seeing that the guests were almost here, Ryan greeted Sofia Coppola, turned and walked into the banquet hall.

As the host of the charity dinner tonight, Ryan needs to do a lot of things. He has to personally say hello to every important guest who comes.

After turning around for a while, Ryan came to Charlize-Theron's side. Seeing that she looked a bit unhappy, "Take a break, the auction will start soon."

Sofia Coppola and Charlize Theron prepared almost all the charity banquets and charity auctions, and they haven't had a good rest in recent days.

Just now Sofia Coppola complained for a long time.

Charlize-Theron patted Ryan lightly, "It is Sophia who should rest, not me. She does many things by herself, and I have a long vacation to rest."

The release time of "Inception" is scheduled for July, and it's only mid-March now. At least until June, Charlize-Theron doesn't have any work, so she can take a long vacation for herself.

Sofia Coppola was not so lucky.

"Sophia has always had a lot of energy."

Ryan shook his head, laughing and defending: "What she's really missing is a partner she can relate to, not a vacation."

In the short term, it is impossible for him to give Sofia Coppola a long vacation.

At the earliest, we have to wait until the "X-Men" starts filming.

Charlize Theron couldn't help but rolled her eyes. Given Sofia Coppola's busy work schedule, it was almost impossible to find a long-term partner.

After the two chatted for a while, Ryan went to greet other guests, and went around every place.

"Ryan, let me introduce you."

When he came to George Lucas, George Lucas specially greeted Ryan, pointed to two very young and beautiful girls, and introduced: "This is Paris Hilton, Nicky Hilton , your loyal fan."

After finishing speaking, he blinked at Ryan, and suddenly leaned into Ryan's ear and whispered, "Two members of the Hilton family."

Ryan suddenly understood what was going on.

Paris Hilton couldn't wait to reach out her hand and shook hands with Ryan, "Hi, Mr. Gosling, my name is Paris Hilton, I really like the films you directed, and the films produced by Orion Films. Film."

While talking, Paris-Hilton had an extra personal business card in her hand, and she reached out and handed it to Ryan, "Can I exchange contact information."

Paris Hilton blushed, "We can go horseback riding in the suburbs together when we have time."

horse riding!

Ryan coughed lightly, looking at Paris Hilton and Nikki Hilton, he suddenly thought of another picture, which was also related to horse riding.

Both of them are top-notch in terms of body and appearance, even if they are placed among high society ladies, they can attract the attention of countless opposite sexes.

There is also the background of the Hilton family. Generally speaking, they are definitely a good couple.

"sure."

Without hesitation, Ryan took the personal business card handed over by Paris Hilton, put it away, and handed over his personal contact information as well.

Before Paris-Hilton took over, Nikki-Hilton on the side grabbed it first, "This is mine."

Looking at the smug Nikki-Hilton, Paris-Hilton's face was not very good-looking, and she said through gritted teeth: "Nicky-Hilton!"

As if she didn't see it, Nikki Hilton smiled and leaned into Paris Hilton's ear and said a few words.

Paris-Hilton's complexion is much better now.

Like a farce scene, George Lucas and the others couldn't help but look at Ryan ambiguously. The Hilton family's affair is not something ordinary people can enjoy.

Ryan stood with Paris-Hilton and Nikki-Hilton, asked someone to take a few group photos, and then said goodbye and left.

As for the names of Paris-Hilton and Nikki-Hilton, many people on the other side of the Pacific Ocean have heard of some of them in their previous lives.

Among them, Paris-Hilton dumped 19 boyfriends in the past 18 years, not counting the private and undisclosed ones. The name of the party queen is not called for nothing.

Nikki-Hilton is much more low-key, except for the two marriages, there are almost no scandals.

Of course, it's just that there are no scandals, and the number of boyfriends she has dated is probably not too small.

Not long after, the most important part of the charity dinner began, and all the invited guests donated their auction items one after another.

Most of them are props brought back from the crew, and there are only a few valuables.

Among them was a pair of diamond earrings donated by Charlize Theron, worth $150,000, which was bought by Cindy Crawford for $200,000.

"Then the next lot is provided by Mr. Ryan Gosling."

A middle-aged auctioneer on the stage pointed to a copy that had just been brought up, and said: "As we all know, Ryan Gosling has done chores in many crews, such as "Forrest Gump" starring Tom Hanks. The crew of "Biography" is one of them."

As soon as the words fell, many people showed strange expressions and turned to look at Tom Hanks.

Tom Hanks seemed to be taken aback for a moment, then smiled.

What happened at the beginning has already passed.

"Thank you so much Tom Hanks for his amazing acting in Forrest Gump, one of the best movies I've ever seen."

The auctioneer continued to point to the copy and said, "This copy of the film is exactly the experimental film that Mr. Ryan Gosling used to sell everywhere in the crew."

"A film that is earlier than "The Blair Witch", any guest who takes a copy can choose to take it back for collection, or give it to Orion Films for distribution, and all the distribution income generated will be used as charity funds. Donate to those who really need help."

Many people couldn't help but their eyes lit up. Whether it was photographed for collection or handed over to Orion Films for distribution, it was a good choice.

The latter, in particular, is sure to bring in a lot of attention.

"Tom, how about taking a picture later?"

Steven Spielberg, who sat across from Tom Hanks, smiled slightly, "A nice collection."

Tom Hanks didn't answer, just raised his hand and shouted, "$30,000!"

Seeing that it was Tom Hanks who shouted out $30,000, many people felt that it was a bit interesting, and it could be regarded as a legendary story.

"$50,000!"

A very crisp voice sounded, not far from Tom Hanks, Scarlett Johansson was holding a sign with a smile.

"100,000!"

The next moment, a very crisp voice sounded again, and Paris Hilton raised her sign without showing any weakness, her expression seemed tense.

However, Paris-Hilton wasn't happy for long.

"1,000,000!"

Frank Gusta directly shouted out 1 million US dollars, which was tenfold.

In an instant, the entire banquet hall fell silent. This is not a small amount, but $1 million.

Paris Hilton put down the sign dejectedly. All her pocket money added up was less than 1 million US dollars.

Not far away, Scarlett Johansson looked eager to try, and she could still take out 1 million US dollars.

"Okay." Sofia Coppola patted Scarlett, looked at Frank Gusta and introduced, "That man is the boss of Lionsgate Films, a banker from Canada."

Scarlett Johansson muttered something in a low voice, but did not continue to raise the placard.

In the end, Frank Gusta bought it for $1 million.

Compared with the cooperation of Orion Films, it is far from comparable to 1 million US dollars.

Next, the value of several auction items is not too high. The most expensive one was provided by George Lucas. auction price.

The last lot of the charity auction was provided by Ryan, a prop from the crew of "Inception", a thumb-sized spinning top, not to mention very precious, the cost price is only a few dollars.

However, Ryan snapped it back for $5 million, to a round of applause.

"God!"

Nicholas Cage next to Ryan showed an exaggerated expression~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This is the most expensive item ever auctioned. "

Ryan put down the sign in his hand, "Well, it's yours now, and after the auction is over, you can take it back as a collection."

"A collection worth five million dollars," he added.

This is a charity auction, Ryan will not be stingy, anyway, the 5 million US dollars will eventually flow into his private charity funds. good name.

Of course, Ryan is not going to do this. In a few days, including the 5 million US dollars just now, and all the charitable donations raised tonight, all will be exchanged for food and medicine and shipped to African refugee camps.

Nicolas Cage joked: "I can't accept a collection worth $5 million."
