Chapter 414: Zero Tolerance
Donne's design requirements for a luxury estate stunned Richard Meyer's design team.
I can only say that I am too good at playing!
He wants to bring together the mansions of Bill Gates and Larry Ellison.
It is divided into two courts: the inner and outer courts.
The inner courtyard, that is, the courtyard of the male and female hostess, must be strictly audited and tracked by high-tech electronics, just like Bill Gates's mansion, and every move of all guests entering must be monitored by the general control center.
The difference is that Donn requires that no outside men be allowed to enter the inner courtyard, and the design should be delicate and delicate, in line with female aesthetics.
Add some of the European medieval style of female sculpture, and when the mansion is built, Donn will buy some beautiful salon paintings depicting the female body to add to the artistic atmosphere and the romantic atmosphere of the place.
The outer courtyard should be designed with more layouts, including helipads, golf courses, fish ponds, artificial rockeries, pavilion gardens, and observation decks overlooking the sea, which are basically similar to Larry Ellison's manor layout.
The difference is that, in addition to the necessary residences for servants and employees, there are also main buildings that represent the faΓ§ade.
Donn's studio, as well as the place where he entertained his guests, were in the main house of the outer courtyard, which was his personal exclusive and forbidden to outside men.
Richard Meyer has been engaged in architectural design for 30 years, and has served many big clients and wealthy people, but he has never seen such a "ridiculous" request.
The design of the inner courtyard should have a decorative pattern to leave room for the design of future salon oil paintings.
But is this the pursuit of art?
200 years ago, the Salon was the representative of oil painting, but it has long been banned by the Impressionists, and it cannot be compared with the Impressionist works in terms of auction price or artistic value.
Donn made it clear that he was pursuing French salon paintings, and he also specifically pointed out that those oil paintings depicting the graceful figures of many women were clearly intended to be designed by him.
Most of those paintings depict women without clothes......
What is this for?
The inner courtyard, where men from outside are not allowed to enter, is reminiscent of Don's personal style......
Inner Courtyard ......
Isn't that where he finds pleasure?
Was this to design the inner courtyard like the Roman court?
Tang Encai didn't care about this old man, anyway, he had already made a clear request.
Within 15 months, he will be moving in with his bag!
After 3 months, the Boeing 747 was converted, 10 months later, the private yacht arrived, after 12 months, Down Pictures was ready to move into its new headquarters campus, and after 15 months, it was moving into a new home!
The widest, proudest, and most mysterious new home in the United States!
"The inner courtyard, the outer courtyard...... Haha!"
Don was very proud.
This kind of thousand-year-old wisdom of the Oriental people, the cultural desert of Lao Mei, will never understand.
β¦β¦
Charlize Theron is different from several other girls who live in Mid-Levels Manor, she has never been short of film contracts, and the only one she wants Donn to help with may be Oscar.
Some time ago, she went back to South Africa for a month's vacation.
Now back in Los Angeles, talk about a new film.
But when she returned to Mid-Levels Manor again, her face was full of distress, and she even ignored Penelope Cruz, who waved her hand, and went directly to the study, looking for Don in a huff.
"What's wrong?
"Someone bullied me!"
Charlize Theron was like a little girl, crying as she spoke, with a flat mouth and a pitiful look.
Tang En waved his hand funny and patted his thigh, "Okay, stop acting, come here!"
She has also worked as a model before, and she has a strong psychological tolerance, of course, it is impossible to cry so easily.
Sure enough, the next moment Charlize Theron recovered his face, revealing a little helplessness, a delicate white look, and then walked over prettyly, sat in Donn's arms, hooked his neck, pouted, and said, "I'm just being bullied." β
Don smiled, "Is it Penny? together at night, let's teach her a lesson!"
"Oh, I'm down to business!"
Charlize Theron turned her head in anguish, looking really angry.
"Huh?" Don realized something wasn't quite right, "what's going on?"
Charlize Theron hesitated for a moment before he said slowly: "Didn't I take on a play, called "Red Dragon", which is the prequel to "The Silence of the Lambs". I had already said that I would be the heroine and play with Anthony Hopkins, but this afternoon, the director said that there should be a simple audition, and I didn't think much about it. β
"And then?"
He told me to go to the hotel. β
"Huh?"
Don's eyes widened, and he had already figured it out.
Go to the hotel for an audition...... Although it is common in Hollywood, more often than not, it represents the meaning of unspoken rules.
"You went?"
"I thought...... My fame is good enough, and Unsinkable proves my strength and I don't need to get a role that way. β
Tang En pursed his lips and said angrily: "Even if it's an audition, you can't go to the hotel? Isn't that a hint to others? It's your fault!"
"You!" Charlize Theron was anxious, "I've been bullied, and you're still fierce to me?"
"Huh?" Tang En's face turned cloudy, his eyes turned angry, and his tone was heavy, "You were bullied? Could it be that he still did it?"
Charlize Theron said weakly, "That...... Not really. β
Tang En glared at her angrily, "Isn't that enough?"
"But he had bad thoughts!"
"Nonsense! You're so beautiful, a man will have bad thoughts when he sees it. β
Charlize Theron didn't know whether to be happy or angry, and pushed him in the chest, "You still don't plan to help me get angry!"
Tang En said helplessly: "What can I do? This kind of thing is normal." People made demands, and if you didn't agree, you would leave, and there was nothing wrong with you. You don't value the character in "Red Dragon", do you? The story of playing "Hannibal" looks like a vase character. β
He is the beneficiary of the unspoken rules, and of course he has to speak for himself.
He can play, but others can't?
As long as you don't use coercion like Harvey Weinstein, God can't control what you want to trade.
Charlize Theron has the same full, round, bumpy and soft body as Penelope Cruz, and among all the female companions that Donn has dated, no one can compare to it except those supermodels.
Holding it in his arms for so long, Tang En gradually became interested, and his big hand quietly got into her inner lining, stroked it, and whispered in his ear, "Okay, let's make love, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you." β
Charlize Theron would not refuse him, but his face was tense, and he gritted his teeth and said, "But what he said is very unpleasant!"
"Huh?"
He said...... He said he wanted to taste Donn's woman!"
Donn's movements suddenly stopped, and his eyes were fixed on her, "Are you serious?"
Strictly speaking, Charlize Theron is not his woman, just a temporary female companion, but the other party's provocative attitude is something that Don can't tolerate.
Charlize Theron met his gaze and said calmly: "I don't dare to make trouble with your name, the facts are the facts." β
"Hmph, interesting!" Don picked up Charlize Theron, put him on the table, and walked two steps around the study before asking, "Who is he?"
"Brett Ratner. β
Donn's eyes narrowed as he thought of this man.
Indeed, this guy has a very bad style.
Charlize Theron said: "Don't look at him in his 30s, but the momentum is very strong, he made two "Rush Hour", both of which were box office hits. Especially "Rush Hour 2", although it was affected by the terrorist attack, the box office performance was very good, and it made a lot of money for the new line. β
Tang En smiled coldly, "It looks like I'm getting carried away! I made two small budgets, I really thought I was the number one person!"
If others don't know, won't Don know?
The success of "Rush Hour" is entirely due to Jack Chen's personal credit. He is not only the main actor, but also the action director and action director of the whole play, and Brett Ratner listens to the conductor like a fool.
Sometimes he can't understand the routine, and Jack Chen has to explain it several times in a row, which is completely a layman's guide to an insider.
The action scenes are the work of Jack Chen, and the literary drama is basically played by Chris Tucker, who is a typical black comedian, although his acting skills are mediocre, but he has a strong sense of joy, speed of speech and language talent.
The sparkling collision of these two people is the fundamental reason for the success of the "Rush Hour" series.
Unexpectedly, this small achievement made Brett Ratner dare to call Donne.
Charlize Theron sneered: "Maybe he thinks I've moved out for more than a month and you've been snubbed." β
Don nodded and said coldly: "Very good, Kirk Douglas is just that, this kind of small role dares to jump out, really I am so messed with?" Which company is in charge of "Red Dragon"?"
"Universal Pictures. β
"Universal?" a long-lasting smile tugged at the corner of Donne's mouth, "It's better now!"
If it's Disney's Miramax, it's still a bit difficult, and if Donn wants to get rid of Bright Ratner, he has to trade with Roy Disney and pay some price.
But "Red Dragon" is a Universal movie, so it's too simple, a matter of one sentence.
Don didn't hesitate, and didn't care how late it was, and called Ron Meyer directly.
"It's so late, is there something wrong?"
"I heard that Universal Pictures is working on the film project Red Dragon?"
Ron Meyer thought for a moment, "It seems like that's the case. β
Tang En said lightly: "The film director you chose, Brett Ratner, I'm very dissatisfied. β
"Huh, did he mess with you?"
"Hmm. β
"Don ......"
Tang En didn't give the other party a chance to speak, and said undoubtedly: "Don't say anything to dissuade me, I'm very angry with that person! I don't allow him to succeed, I need to see the result!"
Charlize Theron, who was next to him, looked at him in surprise and opened his mouth wide.
On the other side is Ron Meyer, the chairman of Universal Pictures, with such an attitude...... Too strong, right?
