Christmas is coming, but for the employees of the matrix company, it is painful and happy, willing to automatically give up the Christmas holiday salary increased tenfold, the year-end bonus increased to three times, the money or play, this is a problem.

The movie "The Matrix 2 Reloaded" is being released around the world, and the investigation, evaluation, and acquisition of WB and UPN TV networks are also being handled all the time, which is really busy. Chen Tiandu has been on the phone constantly in the past few days, running between several cities, and he has not had a good rest. Kate was so moved that she would go to the casino this Christmas. Chen Tiandu's eyes lit up and he raised his hands in approval.

But before that, there are still some small things to deal with, such as being invited by "Vanity Fair" to shoot a set of "The Sexiest Couple in the World of the Year" with Kate Beckinsale.

Driving a car with a style of Nala, it attracts a lot of attention wherever you go. The shooting location is quite remote, but fortunately, the place is very spacious and bright, and the staff is male and female, most of the men are photographers, and there are also some female photographers and camera assistants.

They were received by Vanity Fair magazine editor-in-chief Golendon Carter, also an expatriate from Canada. He is a pivotal figure in the media world. He looks a little shorter, his eyes are sunken, and he doesn't seem to be very energetic, but he talks about his magazine: "Vanity Fair magazine is already a star weekly, and it will also get involved in politics in the future, and the experience of the Oscar banquet will be concocted in the same way, and the party will be held after the annual White House correspondents' banquet, which will become a must-attend banquet for media reporters, politicians, and entertainment stars......

After Carter took over Vanity Fair, after ten years of operation, "Vanity Fair" is better than ever in terms of prestige, influence, status, and profits to publishers.

Although the U.S. economy has been sluggish in the past two years. But Vanity Fair remains one of the most profitable magazines in the Newhouse Media Group. It is still a stage for the media, entertainment and politics to pursue fame and fortune, and a stand for the general public to appreciate the gorgeous life of people in fame and fortune.

Kate is very interested in fashion. Talking with him, Chen Tiandu politely accompanied him. At the end, when the stylist put on Chen Tiandu's makeup, she was still interested in matching clothes and designing styles for him.

Finally, his hand was on Kate's waist, who was wearing a gorgeous evening dress like a gorgeous purple satin with broken diamonds, Kate's waist was leaned back, her big curly hair hung down, and her hands were still hooked around Chen Tiandu's neck. Highlight the delicate curves.

"Chen, can you go down a little bit?"

The photographer said.

Chen Tiandu was surprised, "Still down?" Vanity Fair isn't a erotic magazine. ”

Kate suddenly glared at him charmingly, and took the initiative to reach out and gently move the hand he put on his waist to his buttocks, Chen Tiandu suddenly stopped his mouth, and gently stroked it a few times comfortably in a soft room.

"Click, click~", "Good, good, very good!" "The camera keeps shooting.

On Christmas Eve, thousands of lights are lit up in the United States.

The famous local Basilica of Our Lady of the Angels. There are countless people praying, and one pair stands out. The crowd around him kept looking sideways. On stage, a group of children are singing songs. The heavenly voice seems to bring the huge church into heaven.

“We-wish-you-amerry-christmas，we-wish-you-amerry-christmas，we-wish-you-amerry-christmas-and-a-happy-new-year……”

After Kate's prayer, Kate also accompanied Chen Tiandu to visit Chinatown, and saw that thousands of homes were verdant pine trees and colorful lights, so that she really felt the festival in a foreign country. Thousands of Europeans and Americans rushed home to reunite, and most of the European and American family members gathered at home, had a sumptuous dinner, and then sat around the roaring fire, played the piano and sang songs, and shared family fun. Or hold a special costume party and celebrate Christmas Eve all night long as a happy, peaceful, and revelry Christmas Eve and reunion night.

Until I get home at night, I deliberately dim the lights and soft music to inadvertently create a relaxed and casual atmosphere.

The hazy light was pervasive, and Kate was wearing an elegant evening dress for today's photoshoot, elegant and solemn purple and black, without half variegation, which made her whole person look extraordinarily quiet, and the faint folds and lace embellishments on the front placket added a little vividness to this tranquility.

The body is plump, but he has a slender waist that is bound to hold his hands, and his face is pink and thin, which looks more gorgeous. The skin of European and American whites is very poor, but she is different, her complexion is as smooth and shiny as white jade, her straight nose bridge is her characteristic, cherry red thin lips, under the two long eyebrows like far daisy, are dark and shiny eyes, the eyes are like substance, like water waves flowing quietly, and the smooth and neat, unmessed bun is like the same ink chrysanthemum blooming in the ears, so that she is a little more kind and gentle in addition to the classical dignified and beautiful.

In particular, a red gemstone necklace on the chest is even more dazzling, and the source of invisible charm seems to emanate from this gemstone.

Chen Tiandu had some trance hallucinations, and Kate seemed to be more beautiful and a little enchanting. The eyes seem to be wearing a layer of contact lenses, as beautiful as a mirror, it is so unreal, even in front of him, it is like being far away between the water clouds, and the line of sight penetrates the smoke of the clouds.

Chen Tiandu wanted to see her more clearly, but when he could use his strength to look at her eyes, there was a sudden slight tingling feeling in his eyes, which made him have to withdraw his gaze, saying that women were made of water, but Chen Tiandu felt that the woman opposite was made of fog, ethereal and blurry.

Feeling Chen Tiandu's gaze, Kate stretched out her fair and delicate right hand, "Happy birthday, dear!" ”

"Thank you."

Chen Tiandu took her right hand, and his mood became soothing and softened with the movements, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, "Are you willing to dance?" ”

"Uh-huh."

The music started, and the majestic wind on the thin gauze curtain fluttered and danced with the wind, only the light reflected two figures with clear outlines. One of them just looks at the perfect waist curve. It's Kate.

The figure bent like a bow. Pull out a graceful arc. With the support of her hands and legs, the arc became larger and larger, and Bai Yanni's waist was unbelievably high to a limit, and then a slender beautiful leg slowly lifted, and with two light clicks in the void, the whole body fell down in an instant, and then was caught by a man's arm, and gradually the two figures were stacked together.

……

Christmas is coming. When Chen Tiandu was in full swing in the casino, the Hollywood box office was also released last week.

This weekend, Tolkien's epic and magical debuts made the "Harpys" the new leaders of the box office charts, earning $45.3 million from Friday to Sunday, comfortably topping the box office.

"The Lord of the Rings: The Lord of the Rings" was released on Wednesday and earned nearly $28 million in its first two days. According to Sunday's distribution division, the film will gross $73.1 million in five days in the U.S. and Canada.

The Lord of the Rings story of "Middle-earth" was released in 15 other countries and grossed $60 million in five days.

The Lord of the Rings didn't break any major box office records. Its 3-hour showtime, plus a large number of films prepared for the festival, were released. The number of theaters that can show the film is limited. But the film still achieved the best result of three days of opening in December, breaking the record set by "Ocean's Eleven" two weeks ago.

But the film was quite a phantom to film critics. and praised "The Lord of the Rings" without sparing pen and ink. Christmas was also the prelude to the Oscar season, with The Matrix 2 Reloaded nominated for Best Visual Effects. But "The Lord of the Rings" caused a sensation when it was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Cinematography and received attention from other Oscars.

In the fourth week of its release, "Reloaded" continued to earn $20.01 million at the box office over the weekend, ranking first. It grossed $39.02 million in the week and $259.18 million in North America. Overseas earned $58.9 million this week, down only 30% from last week, and the global box office climbed to $728.28 million, officially breaking the $700 million mark.

"The birth of a 700 million giant film, will it be Chen Tiandu's second 800 million work?" Countless media are paying attention to how much box office "Reloaded" can break through in the end. Because he has been in theaters for four weeks, he has already caught up with "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", which has been in theaters for six weeks, which is really eye-catching.

Ocean's Eleven was squeezed into third place this week, grossing $14.6 million over the weekend and grossing $95.2 million overall.

A new film was released this week, and the hilarious family adventure drama "Jimmy vs. the Alien" was released and achieved third place with $14 million at the box office. Last week's third runner-up, "Vanilla Sky," dropped to fifth place with $12.1 million at the box office.

"Magic Smoke," a film about two "addicts," came in fifth place with $7.6 million at the box office after its premiere this week. "Harry Potter" has earned $263.2 million in the past five weeks, and in a few days it will beat Shrek's record of $267.7 million to claim the second-highest box office of the year, but "Reloaded" will still be the most powerful sniper.

Now at the end of the year, the only suspense is whether "Reloaded" can complete the counterattack, and Chen Tiandu alone occupies the top two at the annual box office.

But Dan Fellman, distribution manager at Warner Bros., which distributed Harry Potter, said: "By the end of the year, both Warner films will grossing about $300 million at the box office. Chen Tiandu can secure at least two of the top three spots in the annual box office rankings. ”

On the outside, this year seems to be Warner's big victory, but the top work on the list is a matrix-owned film.

"Boss, I don't know how many other companies and investors are staring at our matrix, and even Disney gave up investing in "Pirates of the Caribbean" and now countless people have come to ask if they need to invest. And it's Universal, Warner, DreamWorks, and even big companies like Fox and Paramount, and all eyes are on us, which is not a good thing. Peck's tone became serious, "We really need to do our best to complete the acquisition of UPN." (To be continued......)
