Chapter 82: Another Big Man

The movie "Spring is Not a Reading Day" was not picked by Jonas, but by Nicole herself.

The film, which tells the story of four student lovers who confront their teachers and principals during a seemingly comical truancy, actually has a deep social significance and is full of irony about the education system of the time.

The male and female protagonists in this are very brilliant characters, Nicole, who is only sixteen years old, has a very narrow acting path, and she also positions herself as cold and glamorous, not accepting adult kiss scenes and bed scenes, this scene is even narrower.

The role of this heroine fits her vision very well, so she chose this script herself, and Jonas is of course supporting her.

In terms of a man's selfishness, of course he doesn't want Nicole to take on any role in order to be famous, especially if she betrays her hue.

Like that "Dogtown", as well as "Eyes Wide Open", Jonas has always thought of it as Nicole's black history.

In this life, her screen image and personal image were determined from the very beginning, and she was asked to only choose the right role to play.

In this way, the "Titanic" is not worth looking forward to, because in addition to being fat, the most recognized by the audience is her British style.

Nicole can explain that she is glamorous, cold and glamorous, and noble and elegant, but she has nothing to do with British style.

She was born in welcoming Hawaii and grew up in rustic Australia, barely able to relate to the Commonwealth countries.

Speaking of which, several of his good friends, like Dinah and Parle, have much more European examples than Nicole.

That afternoon, Jonas took Nicole directly to meet with the three main characters of the "Dragon Boy" crew.

The crew hasn't been formed yet, but Fox Film has brought in director John Averson, and has arranged for a producer, Jada Smith, and screenwriter Robert Mark Carmen to be involved.

With the experience of the morning, Jonas insisted on not mixing between the director and the producer, and he only communicated with the screenwriter Carmen about the essence of the film, and discussed how to better express the enthusiasm of young people from the perspective of a young person.

Everyone regarded him as a gilded second ancestor, and they were more polite to him, and they also recognized Nicole, the school flower character who came in through the back door.

In fact, Jonas is a little too worried, not all producers and directors are saber-rattling.

John Averson is a well-known director, who won the 49th Academy Award for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Editing at the 49th Academy Awards in 1977 for the film "Rocky".

And this producer with the same name as the son of Smith in later generations is just an ordinary producer of Fox Company, and he doesn't dare to handle this director at all.

Jonas impressed him the most with his name, and when he thought that thirty years later, Jackie Chan would remake this movie with a child of the same name as him, and there was a sense of time and space confusion.

It was a great time to see each other, and they didn't necessarily like to hear Jonas as a layman flaunt his ignorance.

The more low-key Jonas became, the better their impression became.

After meeting them, Jonas and Nicole returned to the apartment. Kostler and the others had not yet returned, but Michelle, who had already calculated the time of Jonas, was already waiting in the apartment with three women.

According to Jonas's requirements, all three women must be married and have a family, and have more than three years of experience in Hollywood, so that they can be good life assistants for Nicole.

The three women all looked similar, and Nicole was clearly not used to the change of status, and glanced at Jonas with some confusion.

Jonas took her into the bedroom to comfort her: "You choose an assistant for yourself, get to know the basics, and then choose one you like." ”

Nicole took a deep breath and went out into the living room, while Jonas called Michelle into the bedroom.

"Shouldn't the script selection within Fox be the most secretive? Why did Milkan know about the three new scripts I gave you yesterday?

Hollywood's movie scripts are almost universal, and each company will have a dedicated staff, and as long as a screenwriter registers a new script, all companies will know.

However, it is a secret which company picks which script, otherwise it will only lead to vicious competition.

Jonas didn't want to hold Michelle responsible, he just wanted to learn something about the Jewish state's Arnold Mirkan from Michelle.

Michelle, of course, understood what Jonas meant, and said directly without specifying: "Mr. Milkan is not a real filmmaker, and he has not been in the film industry for long. Moreover, his status is special, but it is more trustworthy. ”

Jonas said quietly, "I would like to hear about it." ”

Michelle didn't close the door, walked in, and stood at the window five or six meters away from the door.

In 1965, at the age of 21, Mr. Milkan inherited his father's fertilizer factory in West Asia. He improved the composition of chemical fertilizers, which effectively promoted citrus growth and yields, turning the deserts of the Jewish country into oases. He gained fame and fortune, and as a result, he became a billionaire. ”

"Very inspiring experience. ”

"He's going to retire at 22, but his business is far from there. Serving him to get involved in electronics, aerospace, steel, plastics, ...... He is present in countless industries.

In his early 20s, he met with the Persian king and persuaded him to sign a number of contracts, including the construction of Tehran's airport. ”

Jonas frowned, sensing something was wrong.

Sure enough, Michelle added: "In addition, he has been the number one arms supplier to the Jewish state, from missile guidance and control systems to aircraft, tanks, guns and ammunition, and there is even legend that he once handled nuclear weapons." ”

Jonas asked, "Why did he become a producer now?"

"It started with a dinner...... Producer Iliot Castena and superstar Elizabeth Taylor treat him as a Kaizi because they are planning to make a TV series.

Under the inducement of the two seniors, who had been immersed in Vanity Fair for many years, he provided financial guarantees for the filming of a Jewish-set TV series, "Masada."

He may have deliberately approached this circle of fame and fortune, and his unjust layman was actually shrewd, and luckily, the TV series succeeded.

He then shot Martin Scorsese's "The King of Comedy" two years ago, and then made "Once Upon a Time in America" this year. ”

Jonas was even more puzzled and asked, "What about his relationship with Fox?"

"Until last year, there had been rumors that he would take over Fox from Mr. Macridge and that he was interested in having Warren Beatty as the new president, but then he didn't know what was going on, and he dropped the idea and didn't buy Fox. ”

This is definitely a PY deal. It's no wonder that Alain Ryder is so close to Jonas now, which is almost the loss of the president's position.

However, Jonas also understands that with his relationship with Macridge, he can at least be trusted.

It doesn't matter if he's a producer, an arms dealer, or a spy, he won't do anything to him.

The information on both sides is not equal, and Jonas doesn't know how deeply involved he is with Macridge and doesn't know enough about him, so let's be passive, keep a low profile, and see what we can talk about when he comes tonight.

He asked, "How do you know he's an arms dealer?"

Michelle smiled: "His identity is not deliberately kept secret, and many of the news are big road news." ”

Jonas was surprised and asked, "Isn't Hollywood taboo about his identity?"

"This is Vanity Fair, and Mr. Milkan is rich, which is king. No matter how deep his background is, he must abide by our laws. Moreover, the more people like him, the more afraid they are of being caught. ”

Jonas opened his suitcase, took out a wallet from it, pulled out a bank card and handed it to Michelle. "This is the bank card that Fox gave me, and the password has not been changed. I think you need this more than I do. ”

This card has an income of 100,000 yuan a year, and as for the one-percent reward of the box office of the movie involved in the production, it was agreed that in order to avoid the tax here, Jonas would be distributed from the overseas income.

Jonas didn't really pay attention to Michelle at first, but from her response just now, coupled with the fact that Jonas needs someone to keep an eye on this side for himself, he won't skimp on this card.

100,000 a year, as long as you can really become your own confidant, it is very cost-effective.

Michelle didn't refuse the card, took it with a smile and said, "Every April, I will file my taxes on time." ”

Jonas also laughs: "I think it's more in my personal interest to spend than to pay taxes. ”

Taxes here are very high, national taxes, state taxes, personal taxes, consumption taxes, etc., and at least 30% of the income of a middle class has to be taxed.

However, because of the encouragement of consumption, the purchase of more than 500 types of goods can be tax-free.

Like buying a house or buying a car, you can directly deduct taxes. Even when traveling, there are many tax deductions, so unless you are a multi-millionaire, many people do not pay taxes very much, and even can be tax-free for many years.

If you earn 10 million and build a house of 20 million, you can continue to deduct taxes if you have income in the future.

Because in the process of building a house, you spend 20 million yuan, which can drive economic activities that far exceed your share of taxes and invigorate the economy.

This card is bound to the identity of Jonas, and Michelle uses this card to spend, which means that he can't get out of with Jonas and can only follow him with all his heart.

Nicole appeared in the bedroom doorway. "Jonas, I chose Mrs. Claire as my assistant. ”

Jonas nodded and said to Michelle, "Tomorrow morning, take Nicole to buy a car." As for the house, I don't think about it for the time being, so it's good to live here. Wait until Nicole is a little famous, and then think about moving. ”

Nicole added: "I didn't get my Australian driver's license and I need to book another coach. ”

Michelle nodded and said, "It's all a minor issue. It's getting late, Jonas and Nicole get ready, I've booked a place for you and Mr. Milkan at the Italian restaurant. ”

Jonas couldn't help but shake his head and said, "If you really get here, there is no privacy at all." ”

Michelle smiled: "My ability is limited to a few areas of Century City and Hollywood, and I also hope to mature as soon as possible and help you in more ways." ”
