Chapter 450: Bought a manor
As the saying goes: Good things come in pairs.
No, the list of nominees for the 73rd Oscar Awards has just been announced, which happens to be the same day that Wald Pictures held a celebration party.
The "Harry Potter" movie was released for more than a month, and the North American box office was nearly 300 million U.S. dollars. Of course, it is necessary to have a good celebration banquet.
That night.
Various film and television celebrities, well-known directors, and film and television company owners... As long as they have a name and a surname in Hollywood, one counts as one. As long as there is time, they basically come.
Before and after, more than 200 invited guests came in person.
Bill McNick, former CEO of 20th Century Fox Pictures and former President of Wald Pictures, as a hero of Wald Pictures, and made outstanding contributions to the two films "Spider-Man" and "Harry Potter" The retired old man, today, also came to the celebration banquet.
"Hi, old man, how are you doing these days?"
As soon as Old Bill arrived at the scene, Zhuke put aside all the affairs at hand, came immediately, and gave Old Bill a big bear hug.
Zhuke often calls him "old guy", which seems a little disrespectful, but...as long as it is from Wald Pictures, everyone knows that the old and the young are on good terms.
"Thanks to you, I'm fine."
Old Bill laughed and said, "You don't know how happy I am now. Well, let me tell you this, I should retire early."
Once upon a time, old Bill had to retire due to physical reasons and age factors. He was very nostalgic. After all, this is the industry he has been fighting for for decades.
He once said more than once: "Leaving this industry, I don't know how to live in the future?"
But now?
After retiring, he returned to his hometown in Texas, a small town called "Satsuma", and bought a small farm. On weekdays, he spent half of his life with his wife, enjoying the best old age. The fastest full text of 噺⒏⑴祌 んττρs:/м.χ八㈠zщ.còм/
"Cowboy!"
"I wanted to be a cowboy when I was a child, but for various reasons, I couldn't achieve it. I don't want to, I am old, but I realized it."
"Every day I sleep until I wake up naturally, eat breakfast, and stroll around the farm; in the afternoon, I am fishing by the small lake on the farm. I am interested. I take my beloved shotgun and go into the forest to put a few shots. In the evening, it is even more important. Comfortable, I surrounded the stove and chatted with my wife about the past."
"Everything is so cozy."
I have to say that, except for the moment when he just retired, the old Bill was a little panicked, and now he is fully adapted to his retirement life. After all, his body is much better, and his whole person looks very energetic.
Zhu Ke didn't feel bored at all when he heard the old Bill's nagging, but instead he nodded frequently, with a smile on his face.
Kevin Fitch, who was on the side, also smiled and said: "Boss, I saw the photos sent to me by Mr. McNick. The herds of cattle and sheep on the pasture, the countless golden corn on the farm, and the sight Soybeans at the end, as well as fish and shrimps that keep jumping out of the fishing grounds...I am also very longing for this kind of life!"

The celebration banquet hosted by Wald Pictures was not held in the hotel, but in a manor outside Los Angeles.
The manor is called-Dedepage Manor!
It is a 10 acre (approximately 40,000 square meters) manor house built in 1982 by the well-known rich man Turner Dedepage in Los Angeles. It may not be the largest private estate in Los Angeles, or even the top 20, but when it comes to the degree of luxury decoration, it is definitely second to none.
De De Page Manor is a private manor, never open to the public. This time, Zhuke was used to hold a celebration banquet, which is entirely the reason why the wealthy Turner De De Page deliberately befriended Zhu Ke.
Without it, Dede Page wants to buy a stake in Zucker’s LinkedIn company.
"Lima, you said, how about I buy this place?" Zhuke suddenly proposed.
"what?"
Lima suddenly said in astonishment: "Aren't you kidding me?"
Zhuke spread his hands: "Do you think it's impossible?!"
"Oh my God!" Lima immediately covered his mouth with both hands, shocked: "This is Dede Page Manor! I heard that since the completion of construction in 1982, as many as dozens of rich people in the United States have wanted I bought it from Turner Dedepage, but it was rejected. You can actually buy it!"
Hearing this, Zhuke smiled triumphantly.
There is no way, this is the manifestation of strength!
Zuke is a bit stingy about people, but he is not stingy at all about his own life, on the contrary, even a bit...little luxury.
Whether it is to inherit the real estate left by the deceased mother after crossing over, or the Burbank villa valued at $4.6 million bought in 1996, it is still unable to meet Zucker's needs.
Apart from anything else, Zhuke needs a better and bigger manor for security alone!
De De Page Manor occupies an area of 10 acres, with a variety of luxurious buildings and complete facilities. The overall value is no less than 60 million US dollars, which fully meets Zucker's needs and status symbol.
At the same time, it can also avoid the harassment of many media reporters!
"Originally, Turner proposed that he wanted to make the manor. I hesitated, but seeing you like it so much, what else can I hesitate?" Zhuke hugged Lima.
Lima nodded like garlic: "It's really good here."
A manor with a value of 60 million US dollars may need to be considered when replacing it with many rich people, but when it comes to Zhuke, it is just a drop in the bucket. What's more, Dedepage Manor is so beautiful.
"That is, the delivery date of my yacht has not arrived, otherwise we can go out to sea." Zhu Ke said suddenly.
you do not say!
The yacht purchased by Zhuke worth tens of millions of dollars will not be delivered until mid-2001.
at the same time......
When Zhuke and Lima were whispering, as the new president of Wald Pictures, Kevin Fitch became the target of many invited guests.
"Kevin, I heard that this year you will have a big move in Wald Pictures! Good guys, it's only the first half of the year. In addition to the movies being shot in "District Nine" and "The Queen Wearing Prada", Many new films have been established."
said Vicki Williams, president of Touchstone Pictures.
"That's right~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I also heard about it!"
Paramount Pictures’ vice president Jordan said: “I originally wanted to take over Mark’s film called "The Heart of Anger", but the guy Mark had to be the director personally, so I stopped. However, I didn’t expect it to be your Wald Pictures’ courageous, $12 million movie, and just voted it. Tsk tusk~"
At the same time, in one part of the manor, many Hollywood actors were chatting enthusiastically.
Keywords: "Anger Attacks the Heart", "Speed and Passion".
Now, the two films have been approved by Wald Pictures, the script preparation has been completed, and the selection of actors is about to start, so many Hollywood agencies and actors are eyeing them.
"The Wald Films in 2000 was quite beautiful. If possible, I would certainly be willing to participate."
The person who said this is impressively Tom Cruise, one of the most popular actors in Hollywood.
The voice just fell.
Two-time Oscar actor Tom Hanks laughed and said: "Whether it is "Furious" or "Fast and Furious", the production cost of these two films has not exceeded 40 million US dollars. You Tom Cruise as a male The protagonist’s minimum salary is $15 million. So, do you think it’s possible for you?"
Tom Cruise smiled awkwardly.
However...
Jackie Knicks, Matt Damon, Paul Walker, and other actors are moved in their hearts.
