Chapter 132: Take my sister-in-law to the party
In the face of Wang Lei's inquiry, Sharp's mouth trembled a few times, but finally gritted his teeth and said: "I don't know, I didn't say anything just now!" β
Wang Lei glanced at McKel, McKel understood, and said: "What he said is the truth, he should just be a small character running errands for Procott, and he won't know so much." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and he is obviously afraid of Procott and does not dare to betray him! β
Neeson on the side said: "Procott's approach is nothing more than an inducement threat. With your net worth, he can't tempt you; Threaten unless you have a handle that he has caught. Or ......"
Neeson looked at Zhou Yuqiang, who was sitting with Wang Lei, before continuing: "Or maybe he kidnapped someone who is very important to you and blackmailed you!" β
Wang Lei snorted coldly: "If he dares to do this, I won't care if he is the mayor or not, and I will immediately throw out 100 million US dollars and recruit a mercenary army to destroy his entire family!" β
Speaking of this, Wang Lei glanced at McKel, Speebuch, and Scott, and asked, "If I asked for that, you would do it, right?" β
"Of course!" McKel nodded, "Although we all have our own principles, if it's someone like Procott, it's absolutely fine!" β
The cold sweat on Sharp's face was even more dry, and even his legs were shaking!
He already regretted accepting this task and ran to San Francisco to invite Wang Lei.
Wang Lei, these "bodyguards", who are all of them, how can they give him a more terrifying feeling than Procott's inseparable number one bodyguard?
Zhou Yuqiang asked, "Lei, are you going to this charity gala?" β
Wang Lei asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" β
Zhou Yuqiang said: "I suggest you go anyway, after all, you are a celebrity, and you are also a very rich celebrity." Celebrities with a certain net worth in the United States are keen to participate in charity activities to brush up impression points, no matter how unreliable the charity activities are. You are worth hundreds of millions, you are still a boxing champion, and you can talk about your age if you didn't participate in charity activities before, but if you don't participate all the time, you can't do it. Both Procott and your opponents can use this to discredit you in the media, such as if you only like violence and have no charity......"
McKel also nodded, "She's right, if she doesn't attend Procott's charity gala." Even if Procott doesn't attack you in the media for this, Burns' agent, Stuward, will. In order to affect your game form, they will definitely use this matter to discredit you by any means and make you look like you only love violence and do not support charity. The image of a miser that everyone hates. You're going to have a lot of headaches! β
Wang Lei couldn't help wiping a cold sweat when he heard this.
Zhou Yuqiang and McKel are indeed right, Wang Lei remembers that when he watched American dramas in his previous life, he found that Americans are indeed very keen on charity activities, as if not participating in a charity event proves that he is not a good person.
Even if the purpose of the charity event they participate in is to pick up girls or make acquaintances, they will still throw a little money to prove their generosity and charity!
Wang Lei didn't believe that Procott's charity gala was really to rebuild the mental hospital, but if he didn't participate. Definitely will escalate.
Who made him not only the world boxing champion, but also very rich, and the place where he lived was not far from the city of San Mateo, only twenty-four kilometers!
If the city of San Mateo is hundreds or thousands of miles away from San Francisco, you can refuse to participate on the excuse that it is too far away, and it is almost close to your doorstep!
After thinking about it, Wang Lei asked Sharp, "When will this charity party start?" β
Sharp hurriedly said, "It's eight o'clock tomorrow night!" β
"What kind of charity is it, just donate some money?"
"No, it's a charity gala in the form of an auction, and Mr. Proct will put some of his collection up for auction. All the money from the auction was used to rebuild the mental hospital. Of course, you can also take some things to auction! β
Wang Lei nodded: "Understood, then you can go back and tell Procott that I will go to participate tomorrow!" β
"Okay, I'll tell Mr. Procott!" When Sharp heard this, he couldn't wait to leave, as if someone was chasing him behind him.
After Sharp left the boxing gym, Wang Lei said to Neeson, McKel and the others: "Tomorrow night, you can accompany me to San Mateo City for this charity gala, touch Procott's bottom, and see what means he will use to get me to agree to fight fake boxing and lose to Hearns!" β
Zhou Yuqiang hurriedly said: "I'm going too!" β
"You?"
Wang Lei hesitated a little. It's okay to go to a charity gala and bring a female companion. Procott is a shrewd and prudent man, and he certainly won't attack him at a charity gala, unless he suddenly goes crazy and wants to die.
The question is, is it appropriate to bring your sister-in-law instead of your fiancΓ©e?
I only heard Zhou Yuqiang say: "I like this kind of charity in the form of auctions, there are often good things that you don't expect to be auctioned." If there's something at auction that makes me want to collect, I won't be able to sleep without buying it! β
Wang Lei listened with black lines all over his head.
I secretly wonder if all women have a special preference for shopping and collecting things, even Zhou Yuqiang, an intellectual beauty, is no exception?
After thinking about it, Wang Lei still agreed to Zhou Yuqiang's request.
Anyway, Zhou Yuqiang and Zhou Yuwei sisters have a very good relationship, so they shouldn't quarrel over such a trivial matter. If Zhou Yuwei really objected, it would be a big deal to bring both of them tomorrow!
After returning to the apartment in the evening to see Zhou Yuwei. Wang Lei told Zhou Yuwei about this, but Zhou Yuwei didn't say anything, not only was she not interested in participating in the charity gala, but she also had no unusual emotions about Wang Lei taking her sister together.
Wang Lei felt very depressed about this, and began to feel that his fiancΓ©e's personality seemed to be too cold.
That's not a good thing!
Worried that Zhou Yuwei would be bored if she only studied all day long, Wang Lei took the initiative to write another script for her and let her make a movie for fun.
Zhou Yuwei agreed, but made requirements for the type of film.
She doesn't want to make comedies like "The Night the Comet Came" and sci-fi or "Home Alone", she wants to make horror films, horror films like "Evil Dead" or "Midnight Bells" starring her sister, the more terrifying the better, preferably more terrifying than "Midnight Bells".
Wang Lei listened to the black lines all over his head, and secretly thought that it was really more terrifying than "Midnight Bell", so it wouldn't scare the audience to death?
If there is an incident that scares the audience to death, not only she, the beautiful director, but also he, the boxing champion screenwriter, will be unlucky.
Thinking that when she and her grandfather went to Boston to meet Zhou Yuqiang for the first time the year before last, Zhou Yuqiang told him that she and Zhou Yuwei both like to watch horror movies.
I didn't take it to heart at the time. I didn't expect that now Zhou Yuwei would ask to make a horror movie.
It seems that she really likes horror movies!
Is such a hobby special for a beautiful woman?
He proposed to write a script for Zhou Yuwei to make a movie, but Wang Lei couldn't refuse Zhou Yuwei's request, so he began to think about what horror movie to let Zhou Yuwei make.
A horror movie that is even more terrifying than "Midnight Bell"?
The same name as "The Grudge"?
Thailand's classic horror films "Ghost Show" and "Ghost Shadow"?
Or Xiangjiang's "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village"?
After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Lei still gave up one by one.
He feels that these films are the same genre as "Midnight Bell". Filming too much will affect Zhou Yuwei's psychology.
Zhou Yuwei originally had a relatively cold personality, and it would be bad if she became as eerie as the female ghost in the film in the future!
This is my future wife!
Wang Lei decided to let Zhou Yuwei make a more warm and loving horror film.
He thought of "The Sixth Sense," starring Bruce Willis and a young boy ten years later.
It seems that this film not only has a high reputation, but also surpasses "Home Alone" at the global box office. If you invest all the extra money, you may earn hundreds of millions of dollars.
The important thing is that "The Sixth Sense" is also a supernatural thriller. But it's not too scary, but it's very warm and loving, and there are many viewers who were moved after watching it in their previous lives.
Afraid that Zhou Yuwei would disagree, Wang Lei told her the plot first.
Zhou Yuwei was a little moved after hearing this, and was willing to shoot this film, and urged Wang Lei to write the script quickly.
So Wang Lei began to code words that night.
If it weren't for the fact that he was a professional boxer, he had to get up early in the morning to run, Sadler wouldn't have allowed him to stay up late, and there was Zhou Yuqiang supervising him, maybe he would have been coding all night.
Only a third of the yard was yarded in one night. After Wang Lei got up early to exercise the next day, he did not go to Stanford University for classes, and stayed in the apartment to continue coding.
Anyway, after seeing McKel's ability, Wang Lei felt that it was better to continue taking psychology courses in school than to study with McKel.
Wang Lei was very impressed by the film "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural", plus he had a fast coding speed and did not draw a storyboard, so after Zhou Yuwei got out of school in the afternoon, the script was completed.
After Zhou Yuwei watched it carefully, she was moved again and decided to shoot it. and asked Wang Lei about the candidates for the two leading actors.
Wang Lei did not choose Bruce Willis in his previous life, but recommended Tom Hanks.
Tom Hanks has a good relationship with Wang Lei, he was nominated for Best Actor and Golden Globe Award for "The Butterfly Effect", and then nominated for Oscar and Golden Globe Award for Best Actor for "Beyond the Future". is now the most popular acting student in Hollywood.
And the scripts of these two movies were written by Wang Lei, so Tom Hanks, who has always been grateful, is very grateful to Wang Lei, and if Wang Lei invites him to make a film again, he will definitely not refuse.
Even if there is a schedule conflict, I will find a way to come over!
Wang Lei felt that Tom Hanks should be much better than Bruce Willis in this film, at least he would not be suppressed by the acting skills of the young actors, so he chose him.
As for the selection of young actors. The original little actor Haley was born just last year, and he can choose Macaulay, the star of "Home Alone".
I don't know if I can get Macaulay's parents!
After throwing the script to Zhou Yuwei, Wang Lei was ready to set off with Zhou Yuqiang to attend a charity gala in San Mateo.
The United States generally has a very strict dress code for attending the party, and Wang Lei can't just wear a casual dress to attend.
Fortunately, Zhou Yuqiang had already prepared it for him.
It's not a brand-name suit, but Zhou Yuqiang found a store in San Francisco and directly tailored it for Wang Lei.
Not only are the materials of the highest quality, but the craftsmanship of the master tailors is also very good, and it is definitely a master level.
Wang Lei wore a new pure white shirt inside, and then put this light blue custom suit on his body, and then wore the bow and cufflinks carefully prepared for him by Zhou Yuqiang, and there was a kind of instant incarnation of 007's hurry.
And Zhou Yuqiang is wearing a red one-piece long skirt, which is cut and fitted, which sets off her slender and graceful figure infinitely beautiful.
Zhou Yuqiang also wore a pair of red high heels at her feet, standing with Wang Lei, feeling very compatible.
Wang Lei glanced at Zhou Yuwei a little weakly, and was quietly relieved when he found that she was still looking down at the script and not looking at them.
After saying hello to Zhou Yuwei and leaving the apartment, Neeson, McKel and others had already arrived.
Not only are they there, but Ou Yangming is also there.
After hearing about this, Ou Yangming had to follow him no matter what, he obviously didn't worry about McKel and the others.
Ou Yangming, Neeson and others are all in uniform black suits and black ties, and if they wear sunglasses, they can play "Men in Black" or "The Matrix".
Let these five men in black suits follow behind him, accompanied by a big beauty, Wang Lei feels so stylish.
Wang Lei hasn't bought a car yet, but fortunately, Nissen and Ou Yangming both have cars.
Neeson's car is specially made, not only is it elongated but also bulletproof, Wang Lei and Zhou Yuqiang naturally got into this car.
The driver was Neeson, and McKel was in the passenger seat.
As for Tonbuchi and Scott, they could only be aggrieved and squeezed on Ou Yangming's second-hand car.
Twenty-four kilometers is not far away, and Neeson and Ou Yangming drove very steadily and quickly, and arrived in San Mateo city in less than half an hour.
San Mateo Mayor Procott hosts a charity reception at his private villa.
There are not many mayors in the United States who have private villas, and the villas also have swimming pools and gardens, and even invite more than 20 beautiful swimsuit girls to accompany the guests, and Procott is probably the only one.
The car was parked in front of the villa, and McKel got out of the car very competently, and after observing the surrounding environment, he opened the door for Wang Lei.
After Wang Lei got out of the car, he turned to the other side to open the door for Zhou Yuqiang, politely stretched out his right hand, and helped Zhou Yuqiang get out of the car, like a British gentleman.
This etiquette was not taught to him by McKale and Zhou Yuqiang, but he learned it by watching movies in his previous life.
After Zhou Yuqiang helped Wang Lei's men get out of the car, Procott, who was notified, immediately brought someone to greet him.
"Hello King, welcome to the city of San Mateo, your presence is truly a sight to behold... Oh, and this beautiful young lady! β
Procott was a medium-sized, somewhat thin white man, who was not only well-dressed, but also polite in his speech, and appeared to be very cultivated. Judging from his appearance alone, no one can tell that he is a bad person, but they will think that this person may be a harmless person. (To be continued.) )
PS: A 4,000-word chapter, and there is another chapter later, and an author told me that readers only read chapters and don't look at the number of words, so I asked me to send a chapter of 2,000 words, and I was very embarrassed, and in the end I still didn't listen to him. I hope that the brothers will vote for the monthly ticket for this book after subscribing, and the monthly ticket list will be pulled down, urgent!
