Hollywood Beverly Hills, 8949 Willier Ave.

The RV stopped under a seven-story office building, and Wang Zijun lowered the window glass, pointed to the building, and said, "This is the headquarters of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the awarding unit of the Oscars." ”

"The whole building is for the Academy of Cinema?" Kang Chunhua, deputy director of the Film Division of the Information Bureau, got out of the car and looked up at the building and asked.

"Not bad." Wang Zijun nodded.

Guan Zhilin, who was dressed as a noblewoman, followed him intimately out of the car, her head waved slightly, and her wavy hair swept a fragrant breeze, and the charming charm of that moment made Kang Chunhua's subordinates unsettled, staring at Guan Zhilin without blinking.

"It's really rich." Beverly Hills is at a premium, and a film organization can have its own headquarters building here, which makes Kang Chunhua sigh.

Reform of the Golden Horse Awards is not only about the award itself, but also about the Film Industry Development Foundation behind it. Kang Chunhua and his subordinates came to the American Academy of Film Arts for a preliminary investigation, and as for participating in the Oscars, it was only a secondary purpose.

The Oscar ceremony will be held tomorrow, but because the voting for the winning films has ended, the other members of the Academy of Film Arts headquarters are now idle except for the person in charge of preparing for the award ceremony.

Wang Zijun led a few of them into the building, and before they entered the elevator, an old man about sixty years old came over and hugged him: "Oh, Wang, you are already here!" ”

"Thank you for greeting!" After Wang Zijun let go of the old man, he introduced Kang Chunhua, "This is Mr. Frank Pearson, the head of the Screenwriters Guild of the American Academy of Motion Pictures. ”

"Hello, Mr. Pearson!" Kang Chunhua hurriedly shook hands with him, and he spoke English quite fluently.

Wang Zijun said with a smile: "Frank, these two are officials from the film department of the Taiwan authorities, and they came to the Academy of Film Arts for inspection. This is Chunhuakang, and this is Yi Luo. ”

Frank Pearson had known about the investigation for a long time. Today, "ET" can be nominated for an Oscar, and Wong Pictures hired a lobbying company to spend a lot of money at the Academy of Film Arts, and arranging a delegation is just a side request.

Moreover, today Kang Chunhua and Luo Yi are just here to play the front station, and the arrangements have been made, and the real delegation will come over in a few days. Judging by the importance that the Information Bureau attaches to this matter, if there is no mistake, it is likely that Zhang Jingyu, director of the Information Bureau, personally led the team.

After Frank Pearson and Kang Chunhua shook hands, their attention turned to Guan Zhilin and said with a smile: "I know this beautiful young lady, she is the very cool policewoman in "The King's Angel". ”

"Hello, Mr. Pearson, my English name is Rosamund Guan, you can call me Rosa." Guan Zhilin stretched out her hand and threw a wink.

Frank Pearson wanted to shake hands with Guan Zhilin, but who knew that Guan Zhilin's hand was stretched out, but it was a gesture of kissing hands. Both of them stretched out their hands, but the gestures were out of tune, making the atmosphere quite awkward.

Guan Zhilin's face turned red with embarrassment, and she hurriedly flipped her palm and shook it with Frank.

Wang Zijun coughed and said, "Frank, take us around." ”

"Please come with me." Frank Pearson said.

After entering the elevator, Frank Pearson gave a brief introduction to Kang Chunhua and the others: "The Academy of Film Arts was founded in 1927, and the original initiator of the academy was 36, and the founding membership was 275, and now it has more than 4,000 members. The Board of Directors of the College is composed of two representatives elected from each of the 12 departments mentioned above. The term of office of the directors shall be two years, and the total number of terms shall not exceed five. There shall be 1 president, 1 first vice president, 2 vice presidents, 1 secretary, 1 treasurer, and other staff. The term of office of all staff members, with the exception of the President, shall be one year and shall not exceed four in total......"

On the second floor, Frank Pearson introduced Kang Chunhua and the others, but Wang Zijun and Guan Zhilin fell behind.

Wang Zijun whispered: "Have you watched too many movies?" Who would kiss the hand on such an informal occasion. ”

Guan Zhilin playfully stuck out her tongue and said in a greasy voice: "People don't know, you have to take me out to see the world more in the future." ”

"Do you take you everywhere to give people a flattering look?" Wang Zijun asked with a sneer.

"Are you jealous? You also eat the vinegar of an old man in his sixties, stingy ghost. Guan Zhilin muttered.

Wang Zijun said with a smile: "Although this Frank is the boss of the Screenwriters Guild of the Film Academy and has a very wide range of channels, he has actually been very miserable in the past few years. The film department hit the street, and it was so miserable that it was about to change careers to TV. If you want to flatter your eyes, you should also find someone who has weight, don't let me fall for nothing. ”

This was said too directly, and the tone of rebuke made Guan Zhilin's face pale. Her ideal life is to be like the celebrity in the movie, wearing the most expensive clothes and the most beautiful jewelry in and out of high society.

But whether it is Hong Kong or Taiwan, the accumulation of those rich people is too shallow, there is no real sense of high society, and the so-called aristocratic circle is not visible.

After staying in Los Angeles for so long, Guan Zhilin began to look at those Hollywood female stars who frequently went to celebrity parties, but she never had the opportunity to participate. This time, Wang Zijun took her out, and when she heard that Frank Pearson was the head of the screenwriters' guild at the Academy of Film Arts, she subconsciously thought she was a big shot.

The big guy is really a big guy, but it will have to wait more than a decade for Frank Pearson to be able to reach the position of chairman of the governing committee of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts.

Guan Zhilin was so anxious that Wang Zijun couldn't help but say heavy words to beat her.

"Husband, don't be angry, people will be very obedient in the future." Guan Zhilin hurriedly pretended to be pitiful and begged for mercy, for fear that Wang Zijun would be cold because of his relationship with her at this time. She knows Wang Zijun's surname very well, typical machismo, his women are regarded as forbidden, and Guan Zhilin obviously committed this taboo just now.

Frank Pearson first took Kang Chunhua to visit his screenwriters' guild, and some of the staff members in the guild who stayed behind to deal with routine affairs, the main members of which had already gone home after being busy with the Oscar vote some time ago. After all, the Academy of Film Arts is a non-profit organization, and most of the members in it are not in this position.

The main governing body of the Academy of Cinema is the Governing Council, whose members are nominated by the fifteen guilds of the Academy, and the Oscars are judged and voted on by them.

Wang Zijun followed a few people to visit several offices one after another, and everywhere they went, those staff members took the initiative to come over to talk to Wang Zijun, which was like Taiwan's leaders inspecting the units below, and Kang Chunhua and Luo Yi were shocked.

In fact, these are just ordinary staff members of the headquarters of the Academy of Film Arts, which are not as complicated as Kang Chunhua thought...... The happiest is Guan Zhilin, who has been holding Wang Zijun's arm, Wang Zijun has always been the focus of attention, and her female companion has also attracted attention all the way, and has gained the envy of many women.

As a star, Guan Zhilin is also sought after by countless people in Asia, but today she is at the Oscar headquarters, and just walking around the building makes her feel light.

After a brief stroll, Kang Chunhua was taken to meet the secretary of the college and began to talk about the contact affairs of the delegation after that.

Wang Zijun didn't bother to pay attention to such chores, and after saying goodbye to Frank Pearson, he went downstairs and left.

Guan Zhilin followed Wang Zijun back to the car, took out a bottle of red wine from the wine rack and poured it for Wang Zijun. After walking around the headquarters of the Academy of Film Arts, Guan Zhilin was quite stimulated and wanted to ask Wang Zijun to take her to the Oscars, but she didn't dare to speak for fear of arousing Wang Zijun's dissatisfaction, so she had to launch a tender offensive first, and wait for Wang Zijun to be happy.

The awards ceremony doesn't matter, the Oscar dinner after the awards ceremony is what Guan Zhilin really attends, there are all kinds of big-name stars in it, and any friend can improve Guan Zhilin by several grades.

World-class movie star Guan Zhilin knows two others, that is, the male and female stars of "Titanic" Johnny Depp and Monica Bellucci. In order to hook up with Wang Zijun, Guan Zhilin often ran to the crew, and the two world-class superstars ate a lot of supper she supper.

It's a pity that Guan Zhilin was bent on currying favor with Wang Zijun at the beginning, and she didn't have a good relationship with Monica, so she doesn't have any contact information now.

When I arrived at Tulip Manor, the main creators of the "ET" crew who were temporarily living here had not yet returned, and they were visiting Hollywood in droves.

The old butler Henry Hillburn walked in, and after bowing to Wang Zijun and Guan Zhilin, he opened the menu and handed it to Wang Zijun, saying, "Sir, the guests said that they are not used to the food in the manor. I went to Chinatown to hire a few chefs, but I don't have much research on Chinese food, do you think these Chinese dishes are appropriate? ”

"It's all mess." Wang Zijun saw that it was all American Chinese food, covered the menu and said, "You ask the cook to make a few barbecue grills, prepare some barbecue materials, and have a BBQ in the garden at night." ”

Henry, the old butler, hurriedly persuaded: "Sir, every plant in the garden is Mrs. Hepburn's treasure, and I don't think it should be a barbecue there." ”

"Then go to the golf course." Wang Zijun said.

"Yes." The old butler saluted and left.

Guan Zhilin called out to the housekeeper: "Mr. Hilborne, can you prepare some Kobe beef for me?" I'm not used to eating ordinary beef. ”

Wang Zijun sweated wildly, is it too wasteful for Kobe beef, which is as famous as foie gras, caviar, and white truffle, to be used for barbecue?

"Of course, I'll go and get someone to prepare, and I'll find it for you all over California." The old butler had a smile on his face. Henry Hill didn't have to worry about a lot of things, but his former master held banquets every once in a while, and although he was busy, he was very fulfilling. After being hired by Wang Zijun to Tulip Manor as a housekeeper, old Henry was about to fall ill.

Guan Zhilin straightened up, a luxurious manor, a loyal and courteous butler, and a group of servants...... She had a smile on her face, as if she had become the mistress of the tulip manor.
