Chapter 148, Christmas in New York
As soon as autumn passed, the cold of winter swept across the Northern Hemisphere, but unfortunately, the Christmas atmosphere in Los Angeles was so unremarkable that even on Christmas Eve, there was not a single snowflake falling in the sky. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because of this, many people living in California will choose to spend the most important holiday of the year in a snowy place whenever they have certain conditions. The term Christmas tourism fever was first proposed by the New York Times, which is headquartered on the northern east coast of the United States, and its editor-in-chief was the first to appeal to the people of the whole country not to stay at home for the holidays, and to go out to have fun is also a good choice.
In fact, when this news first came out, many people scoffed at it. Although Christmas is beautiful, it is only a one-day holiday on the 25th, and many people spend Christmas Eve in a hurry to get home from work. Unless there is a conditional time off, who doesn't have this Christmas like this?
But there are people who can afford to travel, especially for the Alice family, and in many ways, they all need to visit New York.
Long Island, an island southeast of New York City, is one of the most famous settlements in the United States for the wealthy, and is home to the world's wealthy. While Long Island isn't small enough to make every home expensive, there's no denying that the number of celebrities who have lived here is enough to staggering any ordinary person.
Former U.S. Presidents Roosevelt and Clinton, the oil empire Rockefeller family, financial tycoon George Soros, and even Billy Harrington, who has not yet settled...... If an ordinary person is willing to spend some time and hang out around those supreme mansions that cost hundreds of millions of dollars every day, he may really run into them.
Of course, Roger Lawrence is not so exaggerated.
As a Wall Street entertainment tycoon who has been in the industry for a decade, it is not uncommon to own a home of his own on Long Island. On this Christmas night of '85, he invited all Alice's family, as well as his daughter Sissi's good sister at school, all the members of Alice's great SOS troupe, and their relatives and friends, to celebrate a festive season full of goose feathers and snow.
On Christmas Eve, the dark night sky was filled with white snowflakes, and the huge mansion garden was stacked with a thick layer, and the snowman built by Hannah and Ashley was even more than two meters high. Standing on the balcony as if looking out from afar, the wide open space is covered with snow, like a vast land covered in silver, and only in the distance can you see the shining lights of another mansion. It's not something you can see in California.
"Hey, Oscar! Come here! Don't want to eat turkey anymore? Help us if you want to eat, come to the kitchen! ”
The first floor of the bustling mansion has long been decorated with decorations, with Disney cartoons for Hannah playing on the TV, and Alice wearing insulated gloves, standing in the kitchen and shouting outside.
"Got it, got it, wait a minute!"
With the sound of footsteps, Oscar quickly ran down the stairs, still holding a game console in his hand: "Urge, urge, what urge, don't you know that I am about to pass the level?" ”
Alice brushed twice, took off her gloves and handed them to Oscar: "Well, the rest of the work will be handed over to you." ”
Oscar narrowed his eyes: "You're quitting?" ”
In the kitchen, Mrs. Lawrence and Sophie are busy together, and the plucked turkey is showing off his little jj to the two ladies. In this way, Alice said confidently: "I am not married, how can I face the fruit of a male creature?" Of course, I want you to go up. ”
The two married women burst out laughing, Sophie was even laughing so much that tears came out, and Oscar's eyes widened, and he felt as if a string had broken in his head.
"You're telling me again?"
Alice glared: "Why don't you do it?" ”
"Don't do it!"
"You're telling me again!?"
"If you don't do it, you don't do it!"
At this moment, Maiya suddenly appeared out of nowhere: "My father will arrive in about half an hour, just leave two places." ”
Alice nodded at her, and then suddenly noticed that Oscar's expression was as if she had choked on chicken feathers.
"Ahem, leave it to me if you have any work."
With that, he walked into the kitchen rather diligently.
Alice looked at the senior sister in front of her strangely.
Speaking of which, Maiya is also a sophomore in high school.
The sixteen-year-old girl, with straight shoulder-length hair, has a handsome three-seven points, and her face is also angular and quite handsome. As for the cup, it is completely the same level as Alice, and it has reached the level of C, which is not an ordinary stick.
In this way, she looked at her strangely and said, "How do I think Oscar has taken a fancy to you." ”
Wumi smiled lightly, but she was very calm: "Don't worry, I don't have any plans to be your brother-in-law." ”
Alice twitched the corners of her mouth: "It's really hard to say, the stinky boy is almost puberty now, and it's a little difficult for him to really like you." ”
Maiya smiled again, pressed Alice's back and walked with her to the direction of the main entrance: "Don't worry, Alice." By the way, speaking of which, you're almost fourteen years old now, and your period hasn't come yet? ”
Alice's face was slightly embarrassed, and she coughed vigorously: "No, but it doesn't matter, anyway, the development has not slowed down." ”
Maiya glanced at Alice's cup and smiled softly, but agreed.
Just kidding, can she come to her period?
Alice had ten thousand objections in her heart.
Normal development is not a problem, but the root of menstruation is to be able to have children. She has no intention of slapping with a man, as a little genius and a little ability with such a high degree of brain development, it is strange that she can allow herself to bleed~
Manipulating the development of the human body with brain cells, as long as you want, this is a simple thing, otherwise where did the C-Cup come from? As early as when she was ten years old, Alice slowly began to develop there, if it weren't for the fear of causing a sensation, even if she secreted a little more hormones, I'm afraid that now I would not be able to do more.
Half an hour passed quickly, and just as the table was filled with most of the food, the main entrance to the mansion was opened with a thud.
"Dad, Uncle Ducky."
Maiya has been guarding the entrance, and when she sees this, she immediately comes forward, with a smiling Alice behind her.
"Hi Maiya, Alice, long time no see."
Mr. Akaman, of course, was as handsome and cheerful as ever, and he patted Maiya on the shoulder, raised his hand to his wife, who was walking to the foyer, and then patted the shoulder of the man next to him.
"Ducky, Alice, my daughter's best friend; Alice, Ducky, my best buddy in the Marine Corps. ”
The man named Ducky was a black bald man in his thirties, his face was serious, but he took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Alice and said, "So, you will be my boss in the future?" ”
Alice held the big hand with only strength and smiled slightly: "Now enter the house and eat." ”
It was late at night, but it was also the beginning of the Christmas dinner, and the tables in the spacious, bright and gorgeous dining room were not too crowded even if they were fifteen or sixteen people. Mr. Lawrence, as the host, naturally sat in the first place, and at this time, he was standing up, holding a wine glass, and making a pre-dinner speech.
“…… And for the same year, I would like to thank Alice again. It was because of her help that I was able to make such a large amount of income when DreamWorks was first founded. Hehe, of course, compared to Alice's share of the box office, my little publicity money is really pitiful...... But it's also 10 million! Friends! ”
The cheers, the cheers, especially the screams of Ashley and Oscar, almost everyone was venting their excitement in their own way, and the whole room was bustling.
Yes, 10 million dollars, you can make so much money just by promoting Alice's movie, you know, how many new studios in Hollywood, and the first movie didn't have 10 million at the box office? And that "Ghost Shadow" set a total box office of 200 million US dollars with a shooting cost of only 20,000 yuan, which is simply a myth!
"The two movies that were made after that, of course, are not as good as it, although the box office is also 20 or 30 million, which can be said to be very good, but compared with "Ghost Shadow", it is really ...... Haha, guys, am I a little greedy? ”
Everyone burst into laughter again, yes, compared to the results of the ghost record, the two small movies made after DreamWorks are really nothing. But it also depends on who you compare with, after having such a box office of hundreds of millions of yuan, it is really too much to see if it is only 30 or 20 million.
Sitting calmly beside Mr. Akaman, Daqi looked at Alice silently, only to see that the girl was just smiling indifferently.
"So...... Alice, I had a bit of a headache after seeing that you gave me another copy of the script. ”
I saw Mr. Lawrence knocking lightly on the table and smiling: ""Brain Cell Invasion", this is a typical literary movie, and I want to make another hundred million yuan with your skills." Now it seems that I will only have one ...... next spring Five, six, seventy or eighty million divided? ”
There was another burst of soft laughter, and Alice waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, let's make less money on this one, and after a while, I'll throw you a script like a shipwreck love story, which will definitely make us break all the Oscar records~"
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Lawrence's eyes suddenly lit up, and he subconsciously exclaimed, "Really? A love story about a shipwreck? Alice, you've got an idea!? ”
Look, stimulated by Alice's cold talent, just such a sentence, can no longer be calm.
The audience, again a lot of fun for Lawrence, as a simple guest sitting in a corner, Ducky has been observing thoughtfully.
It seems that Akaman's offer is indeed valuable. (To be continued.) )
