In a nice high-rise apartment in West Hollywood, Los Angeles, Mira is reconciling accounts with a private accountant, her eyes occasionally glancing at the television screen.

It was an earlier Oscar red carpet session, 'Jared! Jared! Jared Leto and Amy Adams had just gotten off the bus, and the frantic shouts of female fans showed the difference in their popularity, and the reporters' questions were almost all directed at Leto, asking everything from romance to signing a new brand and rumors of disagreement with so-and-so.

Abagonel's legendary liar character is very consumerist, otherwise he would not always have enough money to spend, and Leto has been very popular with young women since the period of the male protagonist of 'My so-called life', which makes him gain a lot of first-line brand favor after becoming popular in the cat-and-mouse game, and has successively won endorsements such as Aston Martin, CK men's underwear, Swiss watches, high-end ski equipment, and resort hotels.

This is the advantage of white idol male movie stars, Mira recalled, APLUS has been famous for five years, if you start from the official announcement of the relationship with Mariah Carey, it has been popular for almost three years, and now there are long-term endorsement contracts such as Jansport school bags, Sony MD players, Dow light sticks, innovative sound cards, gray goose vodka, A+ clothing, etc., the brand style is far from Leto, and part of it is his own business.

Amy Adams, who was holding Leto's arm, smiled a little reluctantly, and her eyes wandered around the red carpet before she found her sparse number of male fans, so she simply left Leto's side and walked over to sign autographs.

What has this Bichi endorsed? It seems that there are only a few kitchen and bathroom and bath brands?

"That's all your income in the United States last year, please check, if it's okay, I'll file it this next month's tax season." The accountant interrupts Mira, who is in a daze.

"Okay."

Mira took the document and checked it with a calculator herself, "I'm really sorry to ask you to come over and work overtime so late." She returned to Los Angeles with other thoughts, mainly to file taxes, but she didn't have any expectations for Hollywood opportunities.

Because of her father's financial fraud case, her Mi account is still subject to random checks by the Ministry of Finance from time to time, and the accountant naturally knows this, "You're welcome, the workload is not large." Belch...... Is that really all there is? ”

"You walked through the New York Fashion Week show last year," he asked, "and I have other modeling clients who are about the same level as you and who earn a lot more than you...... Miss Jovovich, don't blame me for being too talkative, you're not in the same situation as theirs, and there must be no problems with your tax returns. ”

"That's all."

Mira tapped on the calculator and replied that her return to the first-line brand was too short, and with the turn against Luc Besson, everything was beaten back to the prototype, and there was no time to negotiate any big endorsement contract. In the United States, in addition to catwalks and print advertisements, the other biggest source of income is the singer's share of the first major many years ago and the commercial performance income of occasionally going to the cave to sing 'To De Klerk', and the results of the second college are much worse, almost negligible.

"You should expand your own revenue streams." Accountant advice.

Mira chuckled, "I will." ”

The accountant doesn't know that the European fashion circle has actually blocked itself, and this year's catwalk opportunities can't be compared with last year, and what the accountant doesn't know is that in fact, she began to make a lot of money in another vast land outside of the United States and France, but she will not declare that part of the overseas income to the United States government.

That land is the former CCCP country, to be precise, her hometown, Da Mao and Er Mao.

It is true that his father, Mr. Jovovich, was a liar, but he did make friends with many high-level people there back then, because the bank account was frozen very suddenly by the US government, and even some of the fishing investments that paved the way for fraud over there did not have time to be recovered, and in fact made a 'contribution'.

When she went back to perform there in the past, she was keenly aware of some things that could be used, and she found that from the general public to the emerging nouveau riche class, people over there recognized the stars of the United States, especially the stars of the United States who had the blood of the old nobility in the Tsarist era. They also spread this wonderful rumor that Mr. Jovovich was framed and imprisoned by the evil government of the United States because he continued to secretly fund his hometown.

And they will be half a beat slower when sensing the wind direction of the entertainment industry in the distant United States, and the public impression of celebrities is often still stuck in a few years ago.

For the government of the United States, they inertly continue the bad feeling of the CCCP era, but they have no resistance to the popular culture of the United States, and they love and hate, and the whole society suddenly misses the aristocratic style and descent theory of the old era, and the consumption power of some rich people is already very amazing.

After leaving the salon in Paris in the rain that day, she found that without the French director, she would have to return to the running life of a popular singer and model, and she was not reconciled, so she decided to take advantage of this.

As soon as she returns to Da Mao Ermao, she will become a top guest room in a non-high-end hotel, temporarily hire a large number of bodyguards and 'fans' to pick up the airport, buy some advertorials touted by the media, and put on the head of the Red Star of the United States, the more arrogant she is, the more people buy it, and she can also put an end to the harassment of those squinting local oligarchs, because they are jealous of the Red Star of the United States.

The effect of this strategy was immediate, and it was unexpectedly good, and the price of commercial performances, singing for the birthdays of politicians or oligarchs, weddings and other events can even be compared with DIVA other than Madonna in the United States, such as Mariah Carey.

The only pity is that in order to maintain style, this 'withdrawal' method cannot be used often.

"APLUS has arrived."

As a native of Los Angeles, of course the accountant has heard of her famous love history with APLUS, who called himself a scumbag ex-boyfriend red, just got out of the car, the shutter of the reporters never stopped, kept shouting his name to remind the camera, his female fans were crazy, shouting slogans of support, and getting a little response was immediately so excited that they seemed to faint on the spot.

"It's hard to imagine that he is still the 300th richest man in the whole meter." The point of envy of accountants is naturally money.

Mira tugged at the corners of her mouth reluctantly, and lowered her head to concentrate on reconciling.

In the tribute to Johnny Carson shortly after the awards ceremony began, after the scene was brought to Johnny Carson's side, the TV picture was not given to him again, and Mira saw Claudia Schiffer, who replaced her as the heroine of the fifth element, appear, and presented the Best Costume Design Award as a guest, and immediately felt like a thorn in her heart, and simply turned off the TV.

"So that's it? Rest assured, I'll take care of everything next month, Miss Jovovich. ”

After the two were busy, the accountant took the briefcase and left.

"APLUS is again, again nominated and lost, and it was still a music award, an Oscar for Best Original Score, and he was in the Grammy Awards three times before."

The announcer of the Oscar TV broadcast has always been the old-fashioned style of the newspaper, only mechanically and objectively broadcasting the situation on the spot, and after Mira turned the TV back on, he happened to hear him say a few words.

The TV screen was divided into five small screens at this time, recording the reaction of each nominee live, and the winning crew was jubilant, not to mention that Mira noticed that her ex-boyfriend was smiling nicely, applauded and congratulated each other, and remembered that John Malkovich was next to him, comforting the co-nominated musician with a somewhat ashen face.

At this time, the doorbell rang, and Mira went to open the door, which was the rookie female agent she had newly hired in Hollywood, who was only in charge of film affairs and belonged to William Morris's agency.

"Did John Malkovich get Best Supporting Actor?" She asked the agent.

"You just didn't see it? No, this is his third Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor......"

The female agent replied: "Poor fellow, it's rare to laugh." By the way, Mira, can you still get in touch with him? She pointed to APLUS in the picture, "A+ Film Studio's new superhero film is about to start shooting, and many actors I know have got roles. Maybe contact Mr. Hayden? He's got a lot of energy in our William Morris, even if he does me a favor, okay? ”

Hayden, Mr......

Yes, Hayden has evolved from the little agent who shivered when he lost his temper to a senior partner who was important within William Morris......

"Is there anything wrong with coming here so late?"

She has seen too much of the snobbery of the agent, and after going through the wind and rain, she can already understand their behavior, and she can't talk about whether she likes it or not, but she doesn't want to talk about it with the other party for the time being.

"Yes, there's your audition tomorrow." The female agent had to get back to business.

"Tomorrow? I thought I had passed the second round of auditions. She frowned.

"It's really passed, it's the third round of auditions, and the crew wants to compress the audition time, so that the crew can be pulled to South America to adapt collectively for a while......," the female agent replied.

"Adaptation?"

"Yes, the director asked all the actors to look like people who have been on the Amazon River for a long time."

"That's ......"

Mila immediately retreated in her heart, she actually didn't care much about whether she could get the role, she had been in Hollywood when she was very young, and she was still familiar with the film industry, and the director's requirements were so high, she must have to go to the South American rainforest to endure hardships.

Why bother, the salary is not enough to cover the income of going to my hometown once.

Speaking of which, the movie where I showed my face when I was a child: stealing the moon, the heroine Xue Linfen actually gave birth to a child......

Back then, I was at the age of my worst temper, and it seemed that I had insulted Xue Linfen in public?

She was lost in memory again.

"What do you say?" The female agent asked.

"What do I have to do to prepare for the audition?"

"It's ...... request"

The two watched the awards ceremony while discussing, and it was only after a long time that the ex-boyfriend's smile appeared again on the TV screen with the nomination for the Anthony Hopkins Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.

"And the winner is: Cat and Mouse! Congratulations to Johnny Carson, Hey! Johnny, and APLUS......"

He actually got it...... Oscar!?

Mira stared blankly at her ex-boyfriend, who was personable and calm, and who had seen everything in the hands of powerful Hollywood producers, directors, fashion designers, and record company presidents.

"OMG, he seems to be the first African-American Oscar Grammy winner in history, and perhaps the youngest." The female agent sighed beside her.
