Whoopi Goldberg has two scripts on his desk, one is "The Ghost Is Not Gone" and the other is "Super Partner"!

With curly hair scattered over her head, if you don't consider the movies she has starred in, she walks down the street in no way different from an ordinary black woman in her Chinese New Year's Eve.

"You've read both scripts several times, and you haven't decided which one you want to take yet?" asked Eddie, Whoopi Goldberg's sister.

Whoopi Goldberg made his debut as a child star, performing in a children's theater troupe in New York at the age of 8. Studied at New York Drama High School.

However, this did not make Whoopi Goldberg's acting career much smoother, because of his image problems, Whoopi Goldberg did not enter the mainstream Hollywood film circle at first, and even worked in a funeral service company when he first came to California, and later went to Broadway to work as a handyman, and sometimes, even worked as a bricklayer.

However, this did not stop her from wanting to become an actress, and later cooperated with groups such as "Spontaneous Combustion", honed her acting skills as a comedian, and began to attract attention from the outside world when she made a feature film for Ho.

Later, she appeared on Broadway and even did a talk show for a while, and it was precisely because of this experience that she would be at ease when she hosted the Oscars in the future.

In 85, she starred in "The Color Purple", which received many praises from film critics, and was nominated for an Oscar, and has since become a famous Hollywood actress.

And the psychic black woman in "Ghost Love" is played by her.

Now Phantom Entertainment, under the instruction of Wu Jianye, has found Whoopi Goldberg and wants to invite her to play Ota in "Ghost Love"!

At this time, she also received an invitation to another movie "Super Partner".

"I see, you just choose this "Super Partner", you are the female number one in this movie!" Eddie simply helped Whoopi Goldberg make a decision.

"And I think the director of "Ghost Love" is still Chinese, and now Hollywood is generally not optimistic about this movie!" Eddie thought of another reason.

Whoopi Goldberg said: "But the salary for the movie "Ghost Love" is 500,000 US dollars more than that of "Super Partner"!"

Eddie immediately said, "Then choose "Human and Ghost Love", in fact, I also know a little about that Wu Jianye, it seems that he has won the honor of the three major European film festivals, it shouldn't be too bad!"

Whoopi Goldberg glanced at his money-hungry sister and smiled.

Eddie said, "Originally, what are you doing as an actor for, isn't it just to be able to make more money, since the salary given by "People and Ghosts" is high, then you will star in "People and Ghosts"!"

"Alright, don't talk about it, I'll think about it!" Whoopi Goldberg waved his sister out of the study.

Since his second divorce, Whoopi Goldberg has been living with his own family.

When Eddie walked out of the room, Whoopi Goldberg was lost in thought in her left hand and Super Partner in her right hand, unlike ordinary black people, Whoopi Goldberg had always been very clear about her future plans, and she knew what she needed when.

The script of "Super Partner" is very easy to understand, it is just an ordinary popcorn movie, and the script of "Ghost Love" is different, she herself likes this script very much.

If it weren't for the fact that this movie was directed by Wu Jianye, now Whoopi Goldberg would not hesitate at all, and would definitely choose "Ghost Love"!

But the reason why she hesitates now is because Hollywood is not very optimistic about this movie now, and the reason is because the director is Wu Jianye.

Whoopi Goldberg's eyes glanced over his bookshelf and saw the videotape of "The Color Purple" sitting there.

"It seems like it's been a long time since a good work has come out!" Whoopi Goldberg said to himself, and the "Super Partner" on his right hand slowly put down.

Whoopi Goldberg, who had already made up his mind, stepped out of his study.

The next day, Phantom Entertainment received a call from Whoopi Goldberg, who agreed to play the role of Ota in "The Ghost Is Not Over".

After Linda received the notice, she said to Wu Jianye, who was sitting in her office, "Whoopi Goldberg has agreed to play the role of Otta. ”

Wu Jianye nodded, "It's good to agree, sign the contract in the next two days!"

Linda looked at Wu Jianye's somewhat casual appearance, and said curiously, "I really don't know what you think, obviously she is not in Hollywood, but she has to designate a role to play, do you really believe that she can successfully play the role of Otta?"

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Although I haven't seen Whoopi Goldberg, but I've seen her movies, don't worry, my vision will not be wrong!"

Linda said, "Of course I don't have a problem, but I just want to remind you that you are using this movie to make a gambling agreement with the Johnson family and my mother, if the box office of this movie can't exceed 100 million US dollars, you will have to pay more of your own shares at that time!"

Wu Jianye said, "They won't have a chance!"

If Wu Jianye is just playing with tickets in music, then in the director's part, Wu Jianye has put in real effort, both before and after, although he did not direct a movie in the previous life, he also studied at USC, but he was reborn before he was given the opportunity to practice.

Although he studied art in this life, he is also film art, and more importantly, every time Wu Jianye directs a work, he is surrounded by the top talents in China, and the works he directs are all classics, which have long been honed.

And now it is the classic "Ghost Love", this movie itself is a popular and called movie, although Wu Jianye likes to carry some private goods in the movie, but he will not make big changes to his first movie in Hollywood.

At this time, he has a strong confidence in this movie!

Linda said, "I've always wanted to know what your confidence comes from!"

Can Wu Jianye tell her? Naturally, he can't!

smiled, changed the topic casually, and said, "The news of Oceanwide Cinemas acquired by Phantom Entertainment, don't announce it yet!"

Linda nodded and said, "I know this, now Phantom Entertainment is already being watched by everyone, if it is announced at this time that Phantom Entertainment has acquired Oceanwide Cinemas, several major studios will definitely target Phantom Entertainment!"

Oceanwide Cinemas is not a listed company, so many things do not need to be publicized, so it saves a lot of trouble, and now the development of Phantom Entertainment has long exceeded the estimates of several major studios, and the reason why there is no target Phantom Entertainment now is because Phantom Entertainment has never had its own theater line.

"But you can't keep this kind of thing off for long!" Linda reminded.

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "You can drag it for as long as you can!"

"However, the acquisition of Ryan Publishing is definitely going to be exposed, and after the two companies have discussed the details in the past two days, it should be announced!" Linda continued.

Lane Publishing is a listed company, even if it is a major shareholder, it must be announced, not to mention that Phantom Entertainment is ready to privatize Lane Publishing!

"Now where are we?"

"My mother is in contact with the shareholders of Lane Publishing, and it shouldn't be a big problem, and then they will buy it together and then apply for privatization!" Linda said.

Wu Jianye "Well, let's follow this plan!"

"By the way, the villa is already settled, and it's located in Beverly Hills!" Linda remembered one more thing.

"So fast?" Wu Jianye looked at Linda with some surprise.

"It just so happened that a friend of mine my mom knew wanted to sell his villa in Beverly Hills, and when I learned the news, I asked my mom to reach out to that friend!" Linda explained.

"When can I see the house?" Wu Jianye asked.

Linda laughed, "I can call the real estate agent right now, I can look at it at any time!"

Wu Jianye said, "Then let's go and see, there is nothing to do today anyway!"

After Linda finished contacting the real estate agent, Wu Jianye also walked out of Phantom Entertainment, and at this time Lauren Donner was already sitting in the car waiting for Wu Jianye.

After two days of adjustment, Lauren Donner at this time has been completely transformed, with a decent suit and a hairstyle, to the point that he has a trace of social elite.

"Mr. Wu, where are we going?" Lauren Donner is not Wu Jianye's driver, the reason why he gave him the car two days ago was to let him handle his own personal affairs first, and now that his personal affairs are handled, he naturally has to hand over the car to the driver.

"Go to Beverly Hills!" Wu said.

The two got into the car, and Lauren Donner sat in front and told the driver the address.

As the car drove slowly, Wu Jianye asked, "Is Little Donner's school arranged?"

Lauren Donner said happily, "It's been arranged, Mr. Wu, since you are ready to move out of the hotel, then I will also move out, and I will find a place to live near your villa in the next two days!"

Wu Jianye nodded, and did not ask Lauren Donner whether he was rich, sometimes it is necessary to have a degree to help others, and it is too easy to give people the feeling of taking it for granted.

As for how Lauren Donner solves the financial problem, it is actually very easy to understand, there are many ways to take out loans in the United States, Lauren Donner is now a regular employee of Phantom Entertainment, as long as he holds his contract with Phantom Entertainment, he can take a loan in the bank!

As for why he couldn't before, it was just because although he was a CAA agent, he didn't sign a formal contract, just like a temporary worker in China.

The world is all the same, and it is not so kind to temporary workers.

The group soon arrived at Beverly Hills, located on the crisp Pacific coast and at the foot of Beverly Hills.

Although Beverly Hills is called a mountain village, it is actually a satellite city of Los Angeles, with functions such as an elected mayor, a police department and a fire department, and is also home to Hollywood stars and Los Angeles' richest people.

Wilcher's Avenue, Beverly Hills' main thoroughfare, is home to banks and commercial buildings, and there are countless top department stores on this street. The nearby Beverly Mall is also a favorite of many celebrities, with nearly 180 specialty stores in the center, and its exterior is quite special, with transparent escalators on the periphery and heavy rock restaurants, such as the makeshift hospital for the movie "Volcanic Eruption".

The real estate agent contacted by Linda was already waiting here, and after Wu Jianye got out of the car, the real estate agent immediately recognized Wu Jianye, which is also thanks to the current Hollywood coverage of Wu Jianye.

Since Wu Jianye came to Hollywood, there has been no shortage of reports on him, although he can't make headlines on the front page, but there is still a place on the second page, but don't think these reports are so friendly.

Otherwise, there would not be so many people who are not optimistic about Wu Jianye's first movie in Hollywood.

This is the energy of the media, if they consistently report negative news about a person, even if the person is a saint, they can end up portraying him as a bad person, and this image will be completely rooted in the hearts of ordinary citizens.

"Hello Mr. Wu, the house is in front, you can follow my car!" said the real estate agent.

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Okay, let's go!"

Following the real estate agent's car to the slopes of Beverly Hills, Wu Jianye saw a huge manor in the car.

From the outside, it looks like a manor house with French architecture, and when the gate is opened, the car drives in.

"Director Wu, this is one of the most luxurious estates in Beverly Hills, with a floor area of 360,000 square feet (about 3,344 square meters) and an area of 2 acres (about 8,093 square meters), standing here overlooking Sunset Boulevard. ”

After a few people got off the car, the real estate agent began to enthusiastically introduce the situation of the manor, for him, as long as he completes this order a year, it is enough for him to live for a year!

"The previous owners of this place were a French couple, but recently they wanted to sell this estate, and now the price is also very reasonable, only $9.98 million!"

Then the real estate agent began to take Wu Jianye to visit the situation in the villa.

After Wu Jianye walked around, he was quite satisfied with the environment here, and said, "Then here!"

"What's good, I understand!" The real estate agent was stunned at first, he has met a lot of customers in the past so long as a real estate agent, but it is rare to see someone as happy as Wu Jianye!

Wu Jianye said to Lauren Donner, "Find some people during this time, change all the things in the bedroom in this villa, and the overall decoration style will not need to be moved!"

"Understood!" said Lauren Donner earnestly.

Wu Jianye came to the outside of the manor and looked at the scenery under the mountain, so that he didn't feel any mood fluctuations, even if he knew that after 2010, the price of such a manor would be at least more than 100 million US dollars!

In fact, if Wu Jianye's memory is correct, in the 2008s, Beverly Hills once listed for sale one such estate, and the price at that time was about $68.5 million!
