Chapter 405: Thanksgiving Banquet
In the luxurious and spacious dining room, everyone sat in two long rows at the silver-white long table, and it was not only Julis and Scott and others who came, but also some people that Ryan had not dealt with much.
Like Julis's husband John? Stewart, who is the choreographer and stage manager for Fox TV, and their eldest son, the tomboy's older brother, also sat among the children.
Melanie? Although Sloan is divorced, several children have come here with her, and Ryan has met Scarlett for the first time? Johnson's twin brother.
And then pie? Kinsley's new boyfriend, this one is called Richard? Wilson's middle-aged man, according to Nicole, was an executive at an investment bank who had just started dating Kinsley, and he was trying to get over tonight.
Ryan shook his head, and in his opinion, the other party was more like a bed partner that Kinsley was temporarily satisfied with.
Of course, the largest group of children were still the group, and while eating, they kept chattering about some childish questions.
"In my opinion, if you have a lot of money, you can invest in high-tech stocks, and as long as you sell them in the next two to three years, you will definitely make a lot of profits." Is it pie who speaks? Kinsley's new boyfriend.
These people here are the core components of Ryan's interest group, and they are also people with status, status, and wealth in Hollywood, so the topic naturally turned to investment.
Ryan looked at Kinsley, the agent lady shook her head slightly, obviously her boyfriend didn't know anything at all, in the past few years, everyone here, through Ryan's foundation, invested a lot of money in IT stocks, and this year with Scott's sell-off, he also earned back tens of millions of net worth.
"I guess after tonight, Pat will break up with him."
Nicole is Kingsley's best friend. Knowing her temper and personality very well, he leaned into Ryan's ear and lowered his voice and said, "This person's ability and vision are indeed not worthy of Pat." ”
"Alright, my dear, this is Pat's private business." Even the best of friends are extremely unwise to get involved in personal affairs.
Scott on the other side was smiling and helping Ryan deal with the guest, who was still talking, as if he was intent on showing off his financial knowledge in front of these people, and Kinsley beside him was already frowning. If this wasn't the Thanksgiving dinner party that Ryan had gathered, I'm afraid it would have turned around.
Sitting across from Ryan is John? Stewart, the tomboy's dad with long shawl hair, looks like an artist, and Ryan has also retained long hair for this time because of his role in Aragon.
"Now NBC and Warner own 'Friends,' and ABC has brought in 'Millionaire'. Disney TV is mainly aimed at children and teenagers, and Fox TV is currently lacking its own ace show, especially in the reality TV area. ”
The two don't see each other much, and the topics are mostly work-oriented. John? Stewart said of the current situation at Fox TV, "We urgently need to change that, Ryan, why is Jenkins Film not moving into television production?" ”
"Jenkins Films is still in the film business. We don't have that much energy, and we don't have as many people to be distracted from the production of TV series. Ryan shook his head slightly, right John? Stewart raised his glass. continued, "Frankly, I don't know much about American dramas, isn't James currently executive producing 'Black Angels of the Apocalypse'? With his ability and vision, he is sure to create a popular sci-fi drama. ”
"What about reality TV?" John? Stewart pointed to his head and said, "Everyone knows that you have endless ideas, haven't you ever thought about reality TV?" ”
Reality TV? Ryan thought about it, he had really seen some in his previous life, although there were not many who could leave an impression, but there was a way of operation that almost everyone who had seen it understood.
Because of the song "Because of You", Ryan remembers that the champion of the first American Idol was Kelly? Clayson obtained it in 2002, and it was introduced to North America because this type of show was popular in the UK the year before, and now it is Thanksgiving Day in 1999.
Well, let people check it out, and if not, just register it and turn the copyright into Jenkins Films.
"Do you have a good idea?"
Seeing Ryan's thoughtful look, John? Stewart sensed hope.
"It's a good idea, it's not really a ......" Ryan looked at the people present, strictly speaking, outsiders only have Jinsley's new boyfriend, but there are too many minors, for the sake of secrecy, it's better to discuss it later, "That's it, John, let's discuss it in a few days." ”
"No problem." John? Stewart also knew that the time and place were wrong.
Ryan thought for a moment and whispered a few words to George, who was sitting on the other side of him who was just eating, and Mr. Bodyguard nodded wordlessly.
This kind of thing is not too difficult to investigate, and it is enough to let Garcia send someone to England.
In the previous life, which TV station was this program? Ryan frowned and thought about it for a while, he really didn't have an impression, but since he was with John? Stewart mentioned that if it was possible, it would be good to cooperate with Fox TV, not to mention the share of advertising revenue that can be obtained, and the future copyright income alone will be a lot of money.
"May I ask you a question, Ryan!"
A few obviously well-fed little guys didn't have the patience to wait at the table, and they all ran over at this time, talking to Taylor, who was walking in the front, and in front of outsiders, she was a standard little lady," Ed said that in "Toy Story 2", Buzz Lightyear vs. Aliens is satirizing "Star Wars Prequel" at the beginning, is that true? ”
The Ed she was pointing to was Adrian, who was older? Johnson, Scarlett's older brother.
"I'm optimistic that a lot of film critics say that." Adrian? Johnson said.
"When have film critics ever been credible?" Scarlett? Johnson pouted disdainfully, "They always come up with a lot of jumbled opinions. ”
"Ryan, is there any?" Taylor scratched him covertly.
"I can assure you, whether it's John? Director Lasseter, or screenwriter Andrew? Mr. Stanton, none of them have that idea. Ryan communicated with the main creative staff of Pixar because of the problem of the script, and he knew that this statement was just made up by the media itself.
You must know that Pixar's core personnel used to be almost all members of Industrial Light and Magic, and unless they had a problem with their heads, they would be bored to sarcastically mock George? Lucas.
"Alison, Christine, you take everyone to the recreation room."
The little ones weren't interested in sitting around here, so Ryan simply asked the two little girls who often came here to take them out and play.
"But I want to be here with my mom and dad, and you and Nicole." Taylor playfully to Scarlett, who is sitting steadily? Johnson stuck out his tongue, "Why don't you let Scarlett take them to play?" ”
"Because I haven't finished eating yet." Scarlett? Johnson retorted disapprovingly.
"You've eaten too much...... "The little blonde curly hair seemed to be just muttering to herself, but the sound could reach Scarlett's ears again, "Christine, I've never seen a girl who can eat more than Scarlett." ”
Scarlett? Johnson's whole face was about to turn black, but at her age, it was difficult to say anything in front of so many people, so she could only stab the steak on the plate with a knife and fork, venting her dissatisfaction.
"Naughty!" Ryan curled his knuckles and flicked her forehead lightly, causing the little girl's royal blue eyes to widen and look at Nicole pitifully, "Ryan always plays me, so it will be stupid......"
"Alison!" Mrs. Andrea on the other side of the table looked over, and Taylor quickly made a closed mouth gesture and pulled up the tomboy next to him, "Let's go, Christine, let's go to the recreation room and play video games." ”
After they left, Ryan and the others resumed the rhythm of chatting while eating, most of the people present were Hollywood insiders, and the topic was naturally inseparable from Hollywood gossip and scandals.
"I heard James is getting divorced again?" Julis? "I've heard that Linda has filed a divorce lawsuit in court. ”
Ryan didn't say much, just nodded.
The trucker's third marriage has clearly come to an end, although Linda? Hamilton has been aware of Susie since '97? The existence of Amis, probably has a lot of speculation about Cameron's relationship with his two ex-wives, and he still wants to maintain this marriage, but the trucker's heart is obviously no longer on her, and Linda? Hamilton's tougher personality can't be completely blind, and he can endure it so far, so he can say that he has tried his best.
Susie? Amis may not be pretty, but in Ryan's impression, the actress has a gentle personality and is good at tolerance, and since "Titanic", she has completely given up her career and concentrated on hiding in James? Behind Cameron, and her extremely clever approach is obviously more favored by truck drivers.
"This is Hollywood! This is the consistent style of Hollywood's big names. Nicole's voice was very low, and only Ryan, who was sitting next to her, could hear it.
Sighing, Ryan also lowered his voice and said, "Don't forget, my dear, you're also a big name in Hollywood now. ”
"When is Jim with Susie? Amis married? Nicole asked in a low voice.
"Probably next year, when the divorce proceedings are over." Ryan vs. James? Cameron has always been in close contact and knows a lot about him.
The banquet lasted until ten o'clock in the evening, and then everyone said goodbye, although it was a Thanksgiving holiday, when they left, they were still harassed by the paparazzi who were stationed at the door, and the little ones, although reluctantly, were dragged into the car by their respective mothers.
