2007 came to an end, the superstructure of North America, began to circulate bad news about Wall Street, last year's bankruptcy of the New Century Financial Company, aroused the alarm of many people and companies, although the Federal Reserve and Wall Street continue to release good news to fool the public, but Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac two major companies are in trouble, it is not a secret to Ryan.

Combined with the impression that there were not many in his previous life, he could generally judge that the date of the financial crisis was getting closer and closer.

However, these have little to do with Hollywood, at least not for now, there is no impact, and there are still singing and dancing here, drunk and dreaming of death.

Before the New Year, Charlize's CT brand hosted a reception at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel, where a large number of celebrities from the fashion and show business industries came to congratulate them.

In the past 11 months, CT Nature's Treasure has generated $211 million in global sales, and while nearly half of that comes from Disney, no one can deny the efforts of South African diamonds.

Nowadays, there is a saying in Hollywood that there are many Oscar actresses who have won two little golden statuettes, but there is only one Oscar actress who is the best at business.

Greeting the guests and shaking hands with the people who came over from time to time, these basic communication did not have any difficulty for Charlize, although his face was almost stiff with a smile, he was in an excellent mood.

She's not a stupid person, and she knows that in traditional Hollywood circles, it's very likely that she will be forever replaced by Nicole? Kidman and Natalie? Portman pressed underneath and simply jumped out of this circle and opened up a new career with the help of Ryan's huge media resources and sales network.

The current success also proves how correct her idea is.

Of course, this qiē is all because of the full support of the people around him.

"You go and rest."

Looking at Ryan, who was standing here with him, Charlize said with concern, "The guests are almost here." ”

"Wherever I go, I won't be at peace."

Ryan turned his head to look at the main table where Taylor and Scarlett and the other CT shareholders were sitting, and it was almost full of people.

"Who made you the richest and most powerful person here."

Harvey coming over? Weinstein didn't shy away from suspicion. Hear Ryan and Charlize clearly, "If I were a woman, believe me, Ryan, I would definitely try my best to entangle you." ”

"Trust me, Harvey." Ryan deliberately slapped the big fat man's arm hard, "I don't have any interest in you." ”

As several films go high at the box office and as time goes by, the effects of the Miramax affair are gradually dissipating, and although the damage is huge, unless they can actually overthrow the Iranian government. Otherwise, a qiē still has to look forward.

"Quentin is rushing the script, so it's inconvenient to come over." Harvey? Weinstein also brought greetings from the genius director, "He really appreciates your continued support of his new film." ”

"I got a call from him." Ryan knew that the cult master rarely got involved with the mainstream film industry.

Send Harvey away? Weinstein, Ryan saw Charlize's good friend in Hollywood, if Leonardo? If DiCaprio is going sideways, then Keanu? Reeves has achieved his goal, and the blow of many things such as a bad career, a girlfriend breakup, and many other things have made the face of the former 20 million club member full of decadence, even a well-fitting dress can't hide it.

"Long time no see. Keanu. ”

When he finished greeting Charlize, Ryan shook his hand vigorously.

After shaking his hand, Ryan didn't say much, and the superstar's fall could not be saved. It may be said that he has a personality in life, but this is Hollywood, which likes the new and hates the old, and there is not enough exposure and enough excellent works, even if it is Monroe's rebirth. It also quickly loses its value.

Pulling down the tail gown, Charlize sat down at the main table with Ryan in his arms, and the reception was a formal reception. It is also a charity reception, which is donated to the poor people in Africa, and does not force guests to donate money, but does not do their best to donate outdated items such as moldy clothes of rich and famous people.

After a short meal time, Charlize stepped onto the small stage of the banquet hall and spoke a few words as the host.

"I feel very fortunate that the success of CT is the result of the joint efforts of my partners and me."

She introduced CT's shareholders and operations team one by one, "They are the cornerstone of CT, and I want to thank them for working hard with me." ”

She then turned the conversation to charity, "We always have a lot of out-of-season clothes in our closet, like mine, there are always a lot of clothes that I have neglected waiting silently, and I am very aware that I can't wear all these clothes alone. ”

"I was born and raised in Africa, so I have an 'African factor' in my body, and I feel a little guilty that the clothes in my wardrobe can't be used completely. My life value has always been 'if you have something you don't use, then you should give it to those who need it'. ”

"As we all know, people in many countries and regions in Africa are plagued by hunger and cold, and they lack the most basic clothing, so I decided to donate my wardrobe to help the people who can, and my friends and I ......"

She gestured to Taylor and Scarlett, "I feel so lucky to be someone who helps others, and I want my wardrobe to be a source of warmth to those in need, and that often encourages me." ”

"Thank you!"

Amid a round of applause, Charlize walked back.

This kind of endowment runs through Charlitz's charitable foundation, which is arguably one of the best ways for celebrities to gain popularity, and like Ryan's Charity Foundation for Saving Africa's Children, Charlize's foundation has a beautiful account that even the most discerning media can't find much fault with it.

Ryan never confuses foundations that are set up to avoid taxes and for various other purposes, and the problems that Hollywood stars have caused over their charitable accounts are simply too numerous to mention.

In other words, it is no secret in the industry that Hollywood stars use their charitable foundations to make money, they will only decorate the façade with a small donation, and as for the other funds, there are too many places to do in terms of accounts.

Also, some celebrities announce in public how much money they will donate, don't take it seriously, this money may not arrive for a long, long time, or it may not be traced.

For example, when Ryan's charitable foundation was founded. Oprah? Winfrey has publicly said that he will donate half a million dollars, but the money has not yet arrived, and Ryan is very suspicious that the money will not arrive when Sandy can drive his car around Hollywood.

Ryan wouldn't do such a tasteless thing, and there are very few charitable foundations for Hollywood stars who can make him generously pledge to donate.

It's one thing that he's not short of money, but it's another thing for those guys to get away with his money.

Of course, he had a different attitude towards Charlize's charitable fund, and directly signed a check for five million dollars, anyway, there was no person of the same level as him in the field. Others don't need to look at the digital actions he checks out at all.

"Except for the commemorative clothes from my childhood, all three of my cloakrooms are for you."

The people sitting here were close to them, and Taylor muttered, "And a check for half a million dollars." ”

"Our net worth can't be compared to Ryan's." Scarlett was also a check for half a million dollars, "So, Charlie, you're going to exploit Ryan a lot for this kind of thing." ”

"When are you going to Africa?" Kristen with long hair? Stewart asked, "Are you really going to the poor tribes?" ”

"Next month." Charlize frowned at Ryan's worried face and gave him a reassuring look. "I will act with the UNHCR."

"Well......," Taylor thought for a moment, "then I'll go with you, my PR manager is planning a charity show for me, so I might as well go to Africa." ”

Follow the UNHCR in action. The possibility of encountering danger was very small, and Ryan did not object, he thought for a while and said, "Alison doesn't seem to have the title of United Nations Goodwill Ambassador yet, right?" ”

"My team is working." Taylor finished. Turning to Scarlett, "What about you?" ”

"My dear ......" Scarlett spread her hands helplessly, "I don't allow it." ”

"I'm still filming 'Twilight.'" Christine shook her head in the same way.

This kind of time that several people can get together and mutter, only lasts for a short time. The reception inevitably turned into a social party, and many people came to him one after another, and there were even screenwriters and producers who didn't know who brought it in to sell him their ideas and projects.

However, most of the people said a few words before they were sent away by Ryan, and these people obviously picked the wrong occasion.

"I'm Jon? Lucas ......"

Probably seeing that Ryan was going to entertain others, the brown-haired man hurriedly said, "Three minutes, Ryan, I only asked for three minutes." ”

"I remember you." Ryan nodded, "The writer of Disney's 2005 Disney release. ”

"Yes, that's me."

To be remembered by such a big man, Jon? Lucas immediately knew his chance had come, "I had an idea for comedy, where the three groomsmen and the groom who were about to get married got drunk in Las Vegas and woke up to find the groom missing......"

Hearing this, Ryan raised his hand and gestured to Charlize, and Taylor and South African Diamond immediately tacitly blocked in front of him, entertaining the other people who came over.

See Ryan do that, Jon? Lucas didn't know that this was his luck, suppressed a trace of excitement brought by the fast heartbeat, and explained the framework of the script in the most concise language.

This is a comedy that takes place in Las Vegas, where the three best men and the groom who are about to get married get drunk at a bachelorette party, only to wake up and find that the groom is gone, so they must recall what happened last night in order to find the groom and hold the wedding.

Hearing a tiger in the bathroom, Ryan interrupted.

Jon? Lucas's mood unconsciously sank to the bottom, he had already peddled the idea with the new line, but it was vetoed, if Ryan's side ......

Is there a Ryan in Hollywood now? Jenkins' blacklist, which is dedicated to recording projects that Ryan vetoed and which barely attract investment in the future.

"Tomorrow you're going to Disney Studios to find Julis? Ms. Stewart. Ryan turned to look at the tomboy, "Christine, remember to tell your mother." (To be continued......)
