Chapter 258: Very Entrenchment
Soft and soothing music echoes through the living room, a band plays slow lyrical tunes, dressed waitresses shuttle back and forth between guests, serving drinks according to different needs, familiar people gather to chat about the latest interesting things in the circle, and some people enter the open entertainment area to play games such as billiards.
Ronan played the role of host to the fullest, wandering among the guests, chatting and laughing with people from time to time.
"The house is beautiful. Matt Damon complimented, "The party was good, too. ”
Ronan smiled and said, "Thank you." ”
Matt Damon suddenly lowered his voice: "It's just that there are too few beautiful women." ”
Ronan laughed and said, "I'll call you next time we have a swimsuit party." ”
"Good. Matt Damon said, "I'm always available. ”
Hollywood's party, formal, just like the celebration party he held tonight, is very formal, if it is not formal, far beyond the imagination of outsiders.
Ronan thought of one thing: "I also invited Jane, she didn't come with you?"
Matt Damon knew what Ronan was talking about Jennifer Garner, touched his nose slightly embarrassed, and said, "I haven't been in touch with Jane for a long time. ”
Ronan roughly understands that in Hollywood, feelings come and go quickly.
Matt Damon said: "There are so many beauties in the circle, you can't always stare at one. ”
I agree with that. Ronan said.
After talking to Paul Greengrass for a while, Ronan found CAA's agent, Brian Lorde.
"Frankly, Ronan. Brian Lord had a drink with Ronan and said, "I've been in the industry for almost twenty years, and I've never seen anyone grow as fast and as smoothly as you." ”
Ronan shrugged slightly: "Success is always given to those who are prepared. ”
This is a bit exaggerated, but with the thickness of Ronan's face, it is extremely natural to say it.
Brian Lord said, "Hear from Shonda Rems' agent that you're going to work together on a TV series project?"
The contract for this matter has been signed, and it is impossible to hide it from the CAA, and Ronan has not thought about hiding it, saying: "A medical drama, about an intern, Shanda is writing a script. ”
"I remember your company didn't make a TV series, right?" asked Brian Lorde.
Last year, Brian Lord heard from Shanda Rhames' agent about the TV project, but he didn't pay attention to it at all, but now it's different, and Roe Andersonnan is optimistic about the project.
The recent success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "House of the Dead" has made Brian Lord realize that Ronan has a good eye beyond his age.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", a foreign language film from the East, although the director is Ang Lee, but who doesn't know how tragic Ang Lee's last film was?
As a foreign language film, Ronan Anderson not only became the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, but also won more than $160 million at the North American box office.
"House of the Dead," the absolute worst film in more than 1,000 theaters this year, sold more than $30 million at the North American box office in Ronan Anderson.
The production cost of this film is only $1.2 million!
To say that Ronan Anderson was just lucky, and I don't believe in killing Brian Lorde, these two were lucky, and the previous "Human Eradication Project", "The Grim Reaper is Coming" and "Blair the Witch" were also lucky?
Visionary, operational, still very young, the future is limitless.
Ronan is well aware of the strengths and weaknesses of his company, saying: "Indeed, this is the first time that Embassy Pictures has set foot in TV series production. ”
Brian Lorde was also not polite, and said directly: "CAA has run many TV series projects, including "ER: Story", if Ronan you need it, just ask." ”
Ronan laughed: "For this project, I need a large number of people, from actors to staff. ”
Brian Lord is confident: "CAA can meet the needs of any project. ”
Ronan beckoned to the waitress to bring two glasses of champagne and clink glasses with Brian Lorde: "When this project is established, we will discuss the cooperation in detail." ”
"Good. Brian Lord drank the champagne from his glass.
When Ronan first signed the agreement with Shonda Rhames, he planned to cooperate with CAA, compared to film production, both he and Shahai Entertainment are relatively inexperienced, and it may not be the best choice to hand it over to CAA, which has a mature operation model.
CAA's earliest one-stop packaging service started with TV series production, and TV series production is also the most mature type of packaging service operation in CAA.
It's true that the one-stop service charges a fee, but it can also be used as a tuition fee for Shahai Entertainment to operate a TV series.
Win-win cooperation, if you do it alone, it is unpredictable to win or lose, Ronan chooses the former.
Since it was not a business party, many people drank heartily, and bottles of fine wine were delivered, such as Crown Vodka, Johnnie Walker, Hennessy, Chivas Regal, Rémy Martin, Moët & Chandon Champagne, etc., which may not be the best in the world, but each bottle is worth a lot.
Ronan entertains people in the Hollywood circle, so naturally there is no need to engage in low-key restraint.
Of course, in the eyes of those traditional rich people, people like Ronan must be classified as local tyrants and nouveau riche.
Tonight's party, Ronan is indeed very entrenched.
Halfway through the party, he specially invited the guests to go out of the future world together and come to the gray and white granite square in front of the main entrance to watch the fireworks display together.
Ronan stood in the center of the crowd in a dark gray velvet suit, and then gave an order.
Fireworks flew into the sky from the helicopter apfield behind the annex building, and beautiful flowers burst into the night sky.
There were dazzling fireworks floating in the sky, and everyone present was in a good mood, which was also a rare carnival for Ronan, who had been busy, with his friends.
The $30,000 worth of fireworks all flew into the sky, and after returning to the huge front room, Ronan was forced to sing a song on stage at the suggestion of Tom Cruise.
Then, the original cheerful atmosphere was gone, and everyone was not good.
The singers ask for money for singing, and Ronan sings directly.
This is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is that Ronan always feels that he is in tune, not out of tune at all.
This also made Ronan cut off the idea of making some songs.
In his previous life, he heard a lot of English songs, Shania Don and Mariah Carey in the early days, Britney Spears and Avril Lavigne in the middle, Taylor Swift and Katy Perry in the future, and so on.
I can't even find a tune, so I don't have to think about it.
Because it was a formal party, just after 10 o'clock in the evening, the guests said goodbye one after another, and Ronan also gave back gifts one by one, a luxurious DVD set of the film in which Shahai Entertainment and Embassy Pictures fully owned the rights.
For this lavish party, the various expenses add up to $200,000.
Sending off the guests and returning to the hall, Nikia is directing the service company's men to pick up the trash.
Ronan waved his hand and said, "Come back tomorrow and clean up." ”
Nikia wanted to say something, but Ronan walked inside, saying as she went, "Rest early." ”
Seeing Ronan say this, Nikia whispered a few words, and the people belonging to the housekeeping company left out quickly, and came back early tomorrow morning to pack up all the items left over from the party.
Ronan went to the room where the gifts were kept, and said to Nikia, "I'll count these tomorrow and give me a list." ”
As he spoke, he saw the Sony home DV camera sent by Paris Hilton, took it and unpacked it.
This should be the latest model, although the cassette is still used, but the DV, which is a little larger than the palm, is undoubtedly very convenient to use.
What does Paris Hilton do when she sends DV?
To be honest, Ronan is not very interested in Paris Hilton, mainly because the identity of Paris Hilton is placed here, and if it is entangled after sticking, it is quite troublesome.
It seems that Paris Hilton is not like an actress or supermodel in the circle now, not so open-minded.
Like Angela Lindwo, everyone looks at it right and gets together, never mentioning emotional matters, let alone dwelling on it.
Ronan took away the DV camera, came to the living room to turn on and debug it, the shooting clarity is not even comparable to the mobile phone used in the previous life, but for this era, it is already the top home camera.
Nikia, the butler, silently followed Ronan.
Ronan was about to go upstairs to rest, and said to Nikia: "I have people post an advertisement for a chef, and I left your phone number, you pay more attention." ”
Nikia is not tall, with short and medium-sized blond hair combed back of her head, dressed in formal clothes, very British, and said softly, "Okay." She asked, "The requirements haven't changed, have they?"
Ronan nodded: "Good at both Oriental and Western cuisine, chefs from the East can also do it, island people and Koreans don't." ”
He was about to say that blacks don't want it either, but he held back.
It's better to say less of this kind of thing, and black chefs definitely won't want it anyway.
Ronan went directly to the master bedroom on the third floor, and was just about to take a shower when his phone suddenly rang, a call from Paris Hilton.
"Ronan, are you coming out?" Paris Hilton seemed very excited: "Let's go for a drink together." ”
"I'm not going. Ronan declined.
He remembers Paris Hilton drinking quite a bit at the party.
Paris Hilton snorted and said, "You're so boring. ”
"I have a flight to Europe tomorrow and need to rest early," Ronan said. ”
This is not to fool people, the Cannes Film Festival is about to begin, and Ronan is going to Europe with Jerry Katzenberg to promote "Shrek".
And this animated film has already been qualified to participate in the competition unit of this year's Cannes Film Festival.
"Forget it. Paris Hilton seemed to be less interested: "I'll go myself." ”
Paris Hilton took the initiative to hang up the phone and urged the driver: "Hurry up. ”
Behind, several cars followed.
