There is a special kind of talent in the black market, who knows a lot of people, is good at memorizing and memorizing, is free from various forces, has great courage, and uses their special abilities to earn intermediary fees.

Zhang's Hill is an absolute transcendent force in New York City, not to mention thieves, even gangsters are unwilling to provoke, so the day before yesterday, the 'Star of Glory' was stolen, and William was extremely angry. Although Claire was not held responsible, the thieves who dared to come to Zhang's Villa must be caught.

Reach out and chop your hands, and cut your feet with your feet.

William will not tolerate thieves who dare to offend Zhang's Villa.

"Your name is Joel, isn't it?"

Dressed in a cheap jeans, William sat at a bar where a young Asian bartender was wiping glasses from the bar.

"Yes, sir, what do you need?" The young bartender smiled standardly, with big piercing eyes, which turned out to be blue, a mixed Asian and white race.

"A friend introduced me, I want to take something from some people, I heard that you can introduce some special talents here," William's finger tapped on the glass, and he made a 'clanging' sound, which was particularly crisp and loud in the quiet afternoon.

"I'm not too familiar with this kind of thing, you can go to the No. 7 subway station to have a look, there seems to be a black market there, you should be able to find the talent you are looking for," Joel frowned, looked at the man in front of him, and confirmed that he didn't know him from his face, and after thinking about it, he didn't seem to have caused any trouble recently, so he relaxed slightly.

"No, no, no, two days ago, Claire just found you and stole the 'Star of Glory' of Zhang's Villa, and it was successful, I just want this talent," William laughed strangely, and when he saw that the bartender was about to refute, he snorted lightly, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and at the same time put out the two things in the jeans.

The bartender was just an ordinary bartender, who worked part-time as a black market intermediary, and in the face of fierce visitors, he looked at the pile of dollars and a pistol on the table, and directly said what he knew.

"It's good that it's not a local New York thief," William said he was looking for, leaving behind the obviously panicked bartender, who decided to make a trip to Hollywood, California, for the evening.

This time I went to Hollywood, not to pick up girls, but to find a man - the famous black market intermediary Rasti Ryan.

Rasti Ryan is a well-known dark middleman in the United States, introducing various bosses to criminals with special skills.

Although Hollywood has been popular all over the world for more than 70 years, it still looks like a new city, thriving and leading the world's fashion trends.

However, the spirit of Hollywood remains in Hollywood, but the brain of Hollywood is on Wall Street.

Since the Eve Group is a transcendent in New York, its Eve Fund controls two Hollywood international entertainment companies, and its influence is also one of the best in the industry.

When William landed on the roof of the company on his private jet, the management of the entertainment company had already come to greet him.

Fox has changed hands five times, after the death of the original boss, it went down a slippery slope under the leadership of the third generation boss, and after the fourth generation boss took over, although some reforms were made, but again had little effect.

At the end of the 80s, Zhang Xiaofan was introduced by Rockefeller to buy a large number of shares of Fox from an oil company, successfully owning more than half of the shares and becoming the controlling shareholder.

followed by a series of reforms, and personally assigned a group of directors to shoot a series of super blockbusters, and finally reversed the decline.

But now Fox is back in the top 10 of the world's film companies, but it can only rank at the bottom.

Marvel Studios, another film company owned by Zhang Xiaofan, used a lot of Fox's resources to buy shares in Marvel Comics after taking control of Fox.

It took a total of three years for the Eve Group to become the majority shareholder of Marvel Comics.

Subsequently, the Eve Group used its rich connections and Fox's resources to recreate a new Marvel Universe movie series, although it is currently among the top ten film companies in the world with Fox, but the potential value is already at the level of the top film companies.

According to the original world plot, William is also confident that it will take ten years to build Marvel Studios into the world's No. 1 entertainment company.

The current Marvel Studios building is still under construction, so William's arrival in Hollywood can only be greeted by Fox's leadership.

"William, long time no see," a middle-aged man with a hard face walked over violently, hugged William, and slapped him on the back a few times, only to hear a 'bang'.

"Sean, your body is still so tough," William smiled wryly and hugged the Fox guy who was about the same height as himself.

Sean is the current trustee of Fox, who was originally the owner of a small German film company, and the movie he invested in failed miserably at the box office and the company went bankrupt. But that movie was really good, Zhang Xiaofan asked Kang Wenxin to come out to watch the movie that day, and it happened to be playing this movie in a movie theater.

As a result, the two became acquainted, and when Sean was twenty-six years old, he was finally moved by Zhang Xiaofan's words and ran from Germany to the United States. At the beginning, the Eve Group did not have its own film company, so Zhang Xiaofan asked Sean to set up an agent company in the name of the Eve Group, and first made a small fuss to get familiar with the rhythm of Hollywood film company entrepreneurship.

Four years later, that is, when Sean was thirty years old, Zhang Xiaofan bought Fox and let Sean, who had been trained for four years, take the helm of Fox, and in a blink of an eye, thirteen years have passed now.

Sean has the unique rigor of the Germans, and with Zhang Xiaofan's boldness, he actually shot more than 20 super blockbusters in one go, and directly earned the box office all over the world.

Sean himself has become a major film company boss in Hollywood.

"Your dad is gone?" Sean is one of the few people who knows about Zhang Xiaofan's interstellar travel, and seeing his unhappy appearance, he must be complaining that his friend left, but he left himself.

"I attended my college graduation ceremony in July, and then he left," William came to the company conference room, accompanied by Sean, and since he came, Sean would definitely accompany him to a senior management meeting, which could be regarded as a meeting to avoid rustiness in the future.

Left and right are just clichés, filmmakers have always done things casually, even if Sean's unique rigor and Fox's system are very strict, but it can't stop the strange personalities of several film directors and high-ranking officials.

Before the meeting was halfway through, William had already received private invitations from the six directors and executives who were sitting there, and at the same time, there were more than 30 more photos of popular female stars on his mobile phone.

It seems that these directors and high-ranking officials have the potential to be pimps.

Sean is still chattering, William has already negotiated with a few directors, a place for entertainment in the evening, and a few female stars who are familiar with him come to his reception dinner.

Natalie Portman is only 21 years old, but she has been with Fox for eight years, and signed a 20-year long-term contract in her first year with the company.

In the first film of Natalie's life "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", Zhang Xiaofan made a direct decision, making her, who was only twelve years old, the heroine.

To some extent, Natalie Portman is Fox's little princess, the company has been in Zhang Xiaofan's hands for thirteen years, but nearly one-third of the dozens of movies shot have Natalie Portman's role.

Even Natalie Portman is at Fox, and every year a director creates a new movie dedicated to her.

Although the twenty-one-year-old Natalie is very young, her qualifications are already among the best in the entire Hollywood, and she has won countless awards.

"Natalie, just now Bob called and said that there was a party in the evening, and said that he wanted you to attend, and he wanted to promise him?"

Jia Wei, as Natalie's agent, is also rising, even if she receives an arrangement from the company, she can open her mouth and quit.

"No, don't go," Natalie is playing a new game from Nintendo Games, her eyes don't blink, she has been playing for more than half a month, and she hasn't passed the level, how can she be in the mood to dance with some men.

"Then I'll push," Jia Wei dialed back, and pushed the evening dance party down.

At this moment, William is walking around Hollywood, accompanied by Eliza, a girl sent by the company.

Eliza is an actress who just signed with Fox last year, and she is only twenty years old this year, one year younger than Natalie, but she has been in the entertainment industry for three years, and she was unknown for the first two years.

Compared with Natalie's princess treatment, Eliza is a grassroots, but because of this, she has cultivated her worldly and refined mind, and in the continuous flattery, today finally ushered in an opportunity.

Her agent, Bob, gave her a choice to hang out with the boss of the company.

William is not very old, and Fox wants to find a few of his peers, but among his peers, it is also required to be girls, good-looking, and familiar with Hollywood.

and so on, plus she played the daughter of the male protagonist in this year's popular TV series "Counter-Terrorism 24 Hours", which can be regarded as a popular little actress, Eliza has become the most suitable candidate for escort.

Even if Eliza is reincarnated, when she learns that the young and handsome man of the same age around her is the boss of her company, she is still excited and doesn't know how to express her feelings.

In any case, Eliza has to thank her agent Bob, who gave her the opportunity to accompany her, and the opportunity should have been given to Natalie, the number one actress in the company, but Bob used a small trick to make Natalie's agent hang up the phone, and the opportunity fell into her hands.

Driving a sports car, William wandered around casually, and Hollywood also had casinos, amusement parks, and a large number of hotels and restaurants.

"This Chinese restaurant is good, the last time we finished it, it was a celebration banquet here," Eliza rarely goes to high-end restaurants, after all, the income is not high, in addition to paying high rent, most of the salary is used to buy clothes and makeup.
