After dealing with Van Helsing, Michael? Ovitz's gaze swept quickly from the banquet hall, instantly locking on to the figure of a chocolate-skinned woman, her brows furrowed tightly, and her anger could not stop rising, but the thought of the decision that had been made, she gradually regained her composure.

Anyway, if you are going to be abandoned by the artist management company, why bother too much?

He raised his feet and walked over there, during which he also saw the man from France chatting intimately with each other, and couldn't help but sigh secretly that there are all kinds of men in this world. Sickness is something that can be tolerated.

Still, after so many years in Hollywood, Michael? What kind of weird hasn't Ovitz ever seen, Jessica? Alba and his boyfriend can only be described as a strange couple.

He walked up to the two and said directly, "Jessica, we need to find a place to talk. ”

Originally, this kind of little actor didn't need him to come forward in person, but it was rumored that the other party might be standing behind James? Cameron, Ovitz also has to express some attention.

But the importance does not mean that he wants to keep this all-Hollywood laughing stock in the company.

Michael? Ovitz also ignored Jessica? Alba's answer, he walked towards a lounge by himself, and waited for only a dozen seconds when he entered it, Jessica? Alba and his boyfriend walked in.

Ovitz frowned slightly, but he didn't care too much, anyway, after tonight, the other party had nothing to do with him.

"Hi Michael...... "Jessica?" As soon as Alba's words came out, they were confused by Michael? Ovitz interrupted, "Miss Alba, I would like to formally inform you that the artist management company will terminate your brokerage contract. ”

Jessica? Alba seemed incredulous, "What? ”

"You can tell your lawyer to go to the company tomorrow to go through the formalities."

A look of disgust swept over that sweet face. Michael? Ovitz didn't bother to say anything more, turned and left the break room.

"How...... How could it be like this...... "Jessica?" Alba lost his mind.

Christopher? Rokencourt's smile flashed from his face, and he quickly showed a comforting and distressed expression, "Honey, don't care too much. Don't forget, you're about to become the heroine of a $160 million blockbuster. At that time, the brokerage company will rush to sign a contract with you. ”

Jessica? Alba glanced at him affectionately, and his dejected expression disappeared without a trace, "A Duke? Rosenberg's decently beaten losers don't deserve my care! Go, Chris, now is a good time to pull the investment. ”

She leaned up and kissed Christopher? Rokencourt walked out of the lounge more actively than he did, ready to start persuading the great cause.

But Christopher? Rokencourt didn't come out immediately, and when the break room door closed, he pulled out a tissue. With a look of disgust, he rubbed the kissed place on his lips over and over again, until the skin of his mouth was scratched a little, and then he left the lounge.

A lot of people in the ballroom were his targets, Stephen? Sommos, Rachel? Vichy, Steven? Soderbergh, Ben? Affleck, George? Clooney ......

Of course. A mouth alone is not convincing, so he carefully prepares the plan. He also hinted in various ways that Duke would probably join the project after "The Return of the King".

Christopher? Rokencourt is not afraid of these people to seek verification, since he met Duke last year, he has researched the famous director very deeply, the other party's circle of friends is very narrow, most of the people in the circle have no relationship outside of work, and few people can contact him directly.

So. He carefully avoided Leonardo? DiCaprio and Sofia? Coppola and other people who are close to Duke.

Others can only be verified from the side, but the last year, Christopher? Rokencourt did enough to prepare and create quite a few smoke bombs, and sometimes what he got from the side verification was not necessarily the real news.

Truly. Most people will not invest rashly, but as long as some people are blinded by interests and are tempted, it is enough.

Ten years into Hollywood, Christopher? Rokencourt is very clear that sometimes the money in this circle is really easy to come by, for example, the shell company he established with most directors and producers, after a period of hard work, has an investment of nearly 20 million US dollars on the books!

Among them, there are actors and directors who have just become popular, there are retired directors and producers, and as a veteran who has not been exposed in Hollywood for ten years, Christopher? Rokencourt always has a way to get people hooked.

Walked around the ballroom and persuaded in front of nearly thirty people, Christopher? Rokencourt is personable, and on the face and in words, he is more elegant and confident than Hollywood's most successful achievers. Alba and Mikey, who arrived later? Locke and Demi? Moore helps, and he can win people's favor with his lightness.

But even then, only three or four people have the intention of investing.

But what about Christopher? Rockencourt was enough, he knew that such occasions should be done in moderation, and that Hollywood was so big that there were so many targets to be found.

Actually, think of the money on the books of the shell company, and Jessica? Alba is about to mortgage the property to get a loan, Christopher? Rokencourt would have flashed the thought of stopping here, but he had already made things bigger, how could he be willing if he didn't make a lot of money?

The money he raised was, from a certain point of view, a qualification and a bait, to prove to the director who was worth hundreds of millions that he was qualified to participate in the project in good faith, and to induce the other party to come up with another bigger investment!

As long as he finishes this order, his Hollywood career can come to an end, and he will never have to put up with that disgusting and dirty Jessica again? Alba, as much as possible, can use the identity that has been prepared for a long time to hide from countries that do not have an extradition agreement with the United States.

But from the proposal and script to Nancy? After Josephson was in the hands of Christopher? Rokencourt never called directly to ask, and if you want to be a smart hunter, patience is the most basic thing.

The refreshing sea breeze blew from the Pacific Ocean, blowing away the last trace of heat on Malibu Beach, Duke turned off the air conditioner, opened the glass window, and the sea breeze immediately poured into the study of the eye-shaped villa through the insect net, making his slightly drowsy head instantly sober.

Back behind his desk, Duke picked up the script and plan that Nancy had left behind.

He has always been planning ahead, what should be the road after the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, but there is a vague plan, but there is no clear direction, the final glory of Napoleon the Great may be a good choice?

The script and the proposal intrigued him, but Duke's apprehension about meeting with the people who had delivered the project for the first time lingered.

Putting down the script, Duke picked up another resume, which was Christopher sent by Nancy himself? Rokencourt's resume.

The other party is not a character who has just come to Hollywood, and it has been ten years since he appeared in Hollywood. Locke, Shange? Winton and Demi? Moore and many other celebrities have good friends, and he has also invested in several productions that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, but those productions belong to the bottom of Hollywood, and there is no way to find out how much he invested and what he ultimately earned.

There was a knock on the door, and Emma, the butler, pushed the door open, "Orr? Lawyer Ryder came. ”

Duke nodded, "Let him in." ”

This is Duke's new lawyer, his previous lawyer retired, and then recommended the current one, and the two sides have been working together for almost a year.

"Hi, Duke."

It was a man of about forty years old with thick black hair.

"Sit down, Orr." Duke stood up and shook his hand.

As soon as the two of them sat down, Emma brought coffee and quickly left the study.

"How's it going?" Duke asked.

Orr? Ryder didn't touch his coffee, he took out a document from his briefcase and handed it over, and then said, "I checked Christopher?" Rokencourt's passport and bank credit, there are no problems. ”

"His passport and entry and exit records show that he first came to the United States in the summer of 1991," he said succinctly. He currently holds large credit cards from Citibank and Bank of America, has no loans, no bad credit history, and even hundreds of thousands of dollars in deposits with Citibank. ”

Is it really that I am thinking too much? Duke also knows that he sometimes sees the world too realistically.

"Where's his studio?" He asked again.

"Christopher? Rokencourt's Gallic Film Studio was founded in 1996 and is registered in Delaware. "Orr? Ryder recalled, "This studio, like most Hollywood film studios, is a shell company, and there are definite records to prove that in recent years, Gallic Film Studio has invested in six small productions, such as "Brutal", "California's Wolf", and "The Victory of the Lonely", and the profit and investment amount are unknown, but judging from the tax payment records, it should be profitable." ”

"Orr......" Duke thought for a moment and asked slowly, "what do you think of this studio?" ”

Orr? Ryder said directly, "It's very similar to the early stage of Duke Studios, which is a typical shell company used for investment and tax avoidance. ”

Duke nodded, and said to Orr? Ryder's lawyer discussed it for a while, and finally came to the conclusion that it was the same as the resume information sent by Nancy, and there was no problem with how you looked at it.

All the information that can be found shows that Christopher? Rokencourt is a Frenchman who has been in Hollywood for ten years.

Sending his lawyer away, Duke picked up the plan again, he, like all people, has greed and interests, and this plan is undoubtedly very much in his future interests.

Sweeping his gaze over the investigative materials again, Duke picked up the phone and dialed the agent's number, "Nancy, ask him to meet." (To be continued......)
