Chapter Forty-Six: I'm Just a Fool

"Hello boss, I'm Doug Johnson," Johnson went straight to the point, walked up to William very directly, introduced himself, and explained his intentions by the way. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

William could only say immediately that he would immediately call for Stephen Sommers, the screenwriter of "The Mummy", to come over and ask him to complete the task of selecting actors as soon as possible.

After all, the script for "The Scorpion King" was provided by Stephen Sommers, but after working with Fox on two "Mummies", Stephen Sommers became famous and reached his peak in Hollywood, and then he accepted the creation of the super-sized production of "Van Helsing" at Universal, which is known as 200 million dollars.

Stephen Sommers is also coming to the ball today, but he's being touted by a crowd of people who have earned Fox hundreds of millions at the box office.

Stephen Sommers's female companions are the two female stars of "The Mummy", one is the heroine, known as the most reserved and elegant 'British Rose' Rachel Weisz in Hollywood, and the other is the female anti-No. 1, the world's top supermodel Patricia Villaquez, who combines sex appeal and beauty.

A group of people were touting the three of them when they saw two tall men walking over from the other side.

Although William is about the same height as Johnson, or even slightly taller, he looks delicate. And Johnson's identity as a wrestler makes him look visually impactful even if he wears a suit.

Without waiting for William to speak, Dwayne Johnson spoke directly, which was also due to his personality, William smiled and helped beside him, after all, these two people are the ones who make money for themselves.

"Alas, Mr. Zhang, it's not that I don't want to continue writing 'The Scorpion King,' it's that I can't find a suitable heroine," Stephen Sommers shrugged, pointing at Rachel Vichy and Patricia, "neither of these beauties is too suitable for the temperament of the heroine witch Cassandra." ”

Rachel and Patricia have both read the script of "The Scorpion King" and know this, although they know that it is a big production of Fox, but it is not suitable for them, so they don't force it, and when they hear screenwriter Stephen Sommers mention his name, they both smile lightly and don't speak.

These two female stars are not contracted actors of Fox, although they helped Fox make two money-making movies, but it was their agent who helped them contact, there is no need to be grateful to the Fox boss in front of them, and of course they will not be deliberately offended.

"I have a candidate and want to recommend it to Stephen," William has a golden finger, how could he not know the original creator of "The Scorpion King", and he has to recommend it right now.

Stephen Sommers interrupted him with a hesitant face, and said, "The basis of my cooperation with Fox is that I choose actors, otherwise you will have to be smart about this matter." ”

It was said very politely, interrupting what William was about to say, and his attitude was very tough, and it sounded as if Fox was begging him.

If he hadn't known that "The Scorpion King" would make a lot of money at the box office, William would have the urge to throw off his sleeves and leave, his brows furrowed for a moment, and then he said again: "Stephen, it's your business to choose actors, but when I meet a good actor, I always have to recommend it, right?" Of course, after I recommend, if you are not satisfied, you can do without, this is your right. ”

Stephen Sommers heard that the young boss of Fox lowered his attitude so lowly, so he restrained his arrogance for a moment, but still said very politely: "Mr. Zhang, if you recommend this Eliza next to you, needless to say, she is not qualified." ”

"Stephen, you're rude," William was interrupted repeatedly, and he had already decided in his heart that the cooperation would end "The Scorpion King", and this Stephen was determined not to be used anymore.

"Well, you say," Stephen Sommers tilted his lips and apologized nonchalantly.

"I recommend the heroine Hu Kaili of "Crossing the River Dragon", which was broadcast two years ago," William said for a while, and when he saw that Stephen showed a thoughtful expression, he knew that he should have also watched this TV series, and since his recommendation task has been completed, he immediately turned around and left.

Since Stephen is rude, there is no need to hold on, after all, he is a gentleman, not a big boss who specializes in making money.

Eliza was by William's side, and although it was a pity that she didn't have a chance, she was not discouraged, but recalled in her mind the identity of the actress Hu Kaili who had just been recommended by her boss.

Hu Kaili gradually became famous by relying on the TV series "Crossing the River Dragon" filmed by Columbia, but because of her good reputation, she planned to jump to the big screen, but she was hidden by the company.

I heard that Fox recruited a group of actresses this year, but I didn't expect to dig up this Hu Kaili too, doesn't this mean that the larger the company, the more prominent the competition for actors will be.

However, the only benefit is that the company supports TV drama actors to move to the big screen, which is good news for actors like themselves who rely on TV dramas to embark on the road of acting.

It is said that it is a reception ball, but the company thinks of an idea, gathers everyone, plays together, and contacts people, which is larger than the scale of the salon and has more people.

William only danced with Eliza for the first time, and then under Sean's continuous introduction, he bragged with many executives or big directors, big screenwriters, and other bigwigs in the entertainment industry.

"I'm going to go to the bathroom, I'm out of company," William finally sent a young screenwriter who didn't know how to get in, and turned and walked towards the bathroom.

Coming out of the bathroom, William did not enter the hall again, but came to the garden outside, this mountain villa is connected by mountains and rivers, the environment is elegant, although it is already September, but the temperature at night is quite comfortable.

After more than an hour of party, many men and women have walked out of the hall and walked in the garden in twos and threes, playing leisurely.

Fortunately, although the environment in this place is elegant, it is not closed and secret, so although these men and women talk and laugh, they do not do too much cheating. In this way, William was a little less embarrassed.

"Boss?"

A woman suddenly screamed.

When William turned around, he didn't expect it to be a familiar female star, the world's top supermodel Estella Warren, who played the role of a wilderness woman who lost the ability to speak in this year's "Planet of the Apes", which can be regarded as playing the role of a vase.

Della Warren was born as a supermodel, not only with smooth and firm skin, but also with a pair of charming, round and beautiful long legs, which attracted the attention of many men.

"Della?"

"It's me, Estella Warren," Warren didn't expect his name to be remembered by the boss of Fox, and he still felt very honored, after all, today's dance party is also star-studded, and he just collaborated with Fox to make a "Planet of the Apes".

"Hello," Zhang Xiaofan glanced at Warren, who was full of bright brilliance, and secretly exclaimed in his heart: worthy of being a world supermodel, just this pair of long legs, at least one meter two, the V-shaped dress exposed her breasts, obviously dressed so boldly, but still like a little girl who has just been involved in the world, she can still smile shyly when she sees the big boss.

"Hello, boss," Warren just signed with Fox this year, and he collaborated on a big production like "Planet of the Apes", so he feels good, and has just proposed to the company through his agent to change the contract, and to modify the commission method and the number of movies and custom-built films contracted each year.

I didn't expect to run into the boss at this time, so Della Warren had a kind of shyness to do something wrong and be discovered by the parties.

"I'll just go for a walk," although William likes beautiful women, he won't see one and love another, not to mention that next to Warren, there is also an average-looking female star to accompany him.

After saying goodbye to Warren, William walked around for a while, but he ran into a lot of stars, and Eliza, who got the news on the dance floor, immediately rushed over.

"William, don't you like this ball?" Eliza didn't know if he wasn't sexy enough, or if the man in front of him was too high-minded, why he wasn't interested in the ball.

"Some worries," William was thinking about going to the casino tomorrow, after all, if he wanted to take revenge on Rasti Ryan, he had to go to the casino first to make some preparations, at least calculate the time accurately.

Eliza looked at the man who continued to ponder, and sighed in her heart, the two of them stood in two worlds, and there was an unbridgeable gap in between.

"I'm sorry," William unconsciously walked to the end of the hallway, only then came to his senses and smiled at Eliza, "I was thinking about things just now, and I was a little too much. ”

"It's okay, you have a lot of things, I just hope it doesn't bother you," Eliza finally figured it out, if this man didn't want to ask for it for a while, he would go home directly, and everything today would be a sweet dream.

It's a pity that Eliza thinks too much, since William has taken her to the ball and has been the dance partner of the first dance, even if William does not continue to develop with her, she will be labeled as William's lover.

As for whether the two of them have ever been in bed or not, few people care, and it can even be said that everyone will not believe that Eliza is still perfect after getting so many benefits.

This is the entertainment industry.

If William lets Eliza go today, and in a few days, Eliza has a new boyfriend, even if she bleeds virgin blood, the man will think that this is an illusion created by the woman through surgery.

It's not about trust, it's about the entertainment industry.

Therefore, William has no intention of letting Eliza go at all, he is ready to give Eliza two options, one is to be a lover by his side, and the other is to continue to work hard in the entertainment industry, but she must have the label of William's girlfriend.

Towards midnight, the ball will always be dissolved, William will leave with Eliza, as for what to do, there is no need to say much, looking at Eliza's shyness, she also knows very well what she will encounter tonight.

And from today on, Eliza's fate will move from Cinderella to the throne of the queen of Fox Films, and as for Natalie, she will continue to be her baby princess.

Eliza will not compete with Natalie for the position of No. 1 actress, because after this night, the identity of the actor is no longer important to her.

And just as Eliza walked into the hotel with a sense of solemnity and sacredness, in William's perception, a tall man found Rasti Ryan, and then the two drove away together and rushed towards Las Vegas.
