Chapter 535: The Intoxication of Power (Ask for Recommendation)

"It's probably because I'm handsome!"

Mr. Westwood had also asked Charlotte about this strange question in a private chat.

— and that's the answer.

Mr. Westwood, though scoffing at this, also knows that, to some extent, it is indeed a factor.

After all, it's normal for Hollywood directors and producers to sleep with actresses, and it's not strange for even male stars to sleep with them.

Who made these guys all have a lot of power in their hands and belong to the power class of Hollywood?

The problem is that most directors and producers don't have the attention-grabbing physique of stars.

Even if the media reporters knew, unless it was a big scandal, they didn't bother to report it.

Because it's really not very eye-catching!

In particular, thanks to the media, now the public knows what is going on with various Hollywood deals, and everyone is too lazy to pay attention to some news that has no real hammer.

is like Michael Bay, another commercial film director who has risen in recent years -

In fact, like the famous "Jack" Leonardo DiCaprio, he is a lover of blonde and long-legged models, but his various scandals have always been undisturbed.

What's more, there are people like Harvey Weinstein—

Mr. Westwood has also heard some of the secrets of this dismal independent film industry bigwig.

- Even though there are countless scum in Hollywood circles, Mr. Westwood has never heard of anyone who likes to play coercion like the other party.

But such news has never been revealed.

This is enough to illustrate the role of some rules and networks in Hollywood circles.

- Then again, Mr. Westwood hadn't heard much gossip about Weinstein's strength in the last two years, but it was true that the big guy's temper was getting worse and worse.

When competing for some money-making projects, I often do something out of the ordinary -

Insults and threats are only trivial, and he even did things like locking a small director in his room to force the other party to agree to his demands.

And according to a friend of Mr. Westwood's who works for Red Penguin Housekeeping, Harvey Weinstein seems to have recently become obsessed with games that require whips and candles, and has organized similar parties specifically with Red Penguins......

"The bad guy is only going to get mader and crazier!, I just don't know when he will perish!?"

Mr. Westwood sighed inwardly.

In short, for various reasons, Hollywood directors and producers, although they are in high positions, are transparent people to some extent in front of the media spotlight.

And among such transparent people, Charlotte is a very special one.

The media seems to be enjoying the news of chasing him.

And this guy is always elusive and simple, which increases the hunger of the media even more.

In a sense, as a director, Charlotte is an idol.

Among them, his appearance level that exceeds the level of ordinary directors and can almost go to the star circle to mix is definitely an important factor.

And this guy has a lot of fans, and the box office appeal is strong, and eighty percent of it is also related to this-

"Will directors also have to idolize like stars in the future and form their own brand effect?"

Thinking of this, Mr. Westwood didn't know how to describe it.

He did feel that he was a little old, maybe a little out of date.

- Although compared to the previous two years, his physical condition is now better.

Even if he still carries the medicine with him, he no longer looks like he is going to die at work at any time.

"That's probably how life works!"

Mr. Westwood sighed,

"After all, it's impossible to have all the best!"

"But what is Charlotte's reason for inviting me to the studio to talk about things this time?"

Although he still kept in touch with Charlotte and Old Gun, Mr. Westwood knew very well that they were just personal friends.

At work, they haven't crossed paths for a long time.

And this time Charlotte invited him to the Ghost Party studio to talk about things, does this mean-

"But these guys don't really want to work with New Line, and Charlotte's films don't need anyone else to be his producer now......

Westwood pondered in his heart, but he didn't know what the other party wanted to do.

"I heard Sally is pregnant, congratulations, Charlotte!"

Although he didn't know the purpose of the other party, after meeting, Mr. Westwood still sent his blessings to Charlotte as soon as possible.

After all, we are friends after all.

But Charlotte didn't seem particularly excited-

"It's a good thing to be pregnant, but it's not so happy that the child's mother is still hesitant to marry me. ”

"Did Sally reject your proposal?"

"Not really. ”

Charlotte shrugged,

After having a child, she finally agreed. However, she always wants to put off her wedding day – for example, after her children go to primary school......"

“...... It's been a long time! So, hasn't Sally's phobia of proximity been completely cured?"

"yes!"

Charlotte nodded, and then a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth,

"She can't run away, though—I've convinced her!"

"Really?"

Although he felt that Charlotte had something to say, Mr. Westwood didn't know how to take it back, and he could only show a smile that only a man would understand.

"Actually, it should be a good thing to have a beautiful woman like Sally who is willing to give you a baby, but she doesn't want that certificate yet! Why are you in a hurry to get married?"

"Because if you are not married, in the legal sense, the ownership of the child is completely owned by the mother!"

Charlotte said with a wry smile,

"Our legal recognition of paternity is based on the birth certificate and the woman's womb - my cousin Serre Booth has a child because he is not married to his ex-girlfriend, so he can't fight for custody of the child......"

"Hey, have you thought of something that far away?"

"Not really!"

Charlotte shook her head,

"It's just that I finally found an opportunity to completely smash the snail shell in Sally's psyche, how could I let it go so easily?"

"Yes!"

As an old friend who watched the two come along the way, Mr. Westwood is still more aware of Charlotte and Charlize's feelings.

He also hopes that the two can finally come together.

But that's not what he's here for.

"Charlotte, you came to me today to-"

"—for this!"

Speaking of business, Charlotte's face became serious.

He placed a pitch-black notebook and stack of manuscript paper in front of Mr. Westwood.

On the cover of the pitch-black notebook, "Death Note" was written......
