Chapter 54: Cohabitation Continued
At the end of last year, and at the beginning of this year.
Abel, who is new to Wall Street, already has a lot of assets.
At that time, he
Half of the people are natural, and half of them are worried about the sudden loss of ability.
At that time, in addition to leaving enough principal.
Almost as soon as he had money, he subconsciously bought real estate.
Many of his properties in Manhattan were bought at that time.
When his investment in shorting the Internet bubble succeeded, he was truly free.
This sense of crisis has disappeared a lot.
Townhouses like the 357 West 17th Street in Manhattan, as well as the 18th floor of the Carnegie Hills Tower where Anne lived, were bought at the time.
Half-hugging Jessica Alba, Abel walked to the living room.
"What game to play?"
He looked at the TV connected to the console, which showed an image of a racing game.
He looked at it, it was "Ridge Racer 5".
This is one of the first games to be released on PS2 and is an exclusive game released with consoles.
The previous work already had four, all of which were the predecessors of PS2, and the games on the PS console.
The first one was released in 1994 and sold more than 800,000 units, and subsequent series have reached this sales.
It is considered a series of games that are very successful in making money from the developer Namco.
Jessica snuggled up to him and sat down on the couch.
Abel picked up the gamepad and said casually, "Why didn't you shoot today?" ”
Starting at the beginning of this year,
Jessica Alba has been filming a sci-fi TV series.
This sci-fi drama has a large investment and is produced by Twentieth Century Fox.
The key producer is Cameron, the one who filmed the Titanic.
At the Oscars, the truck driver who yelled that he was the king of the world.
In this sci-fi drama, Cameron is not only a producer, but also a screenwriter.
Because of this,
Before this American drama was released, it was already highly anticipated by many sci-fi fans.
Jessica Alba's father, Mark Alba, was Mexican-American and a former Air Force officer.
After retiring from the army, he worked for an oil company.
I did it for a few years and came out to do business on my own.
Mark Alba and James Cameron met in the middle of nowhere.
What's more, Mark Alba's wife is the goddaughter of Cameron's father.
It is precisely for this reason that Jessica was able to star in a TV series at the age of twelve and serve as the heroine at the age of 13.
This sci-fi drama starring Cameron as a producer, Jessica Alba starring.
The reason announced to the public is that she performed perfectly at the audition, and her image meets the requirements of the heroine in the script.
But in fact, she was able to act, and it had a lot to do with James Cameron.
Who called her mom's relationship with Cameron the same as Annie's mother's relationship with Michael Levine.
It doesn't matter if it's Lao Mei or the Celestial Empire.
Those who have connections and connections are naturally more likely to get ahead.
So is Annie, and so is Jessica.
This is true in Hollywood, and the same is true in the entertainment industry of the Celestial Empire.
For example, Chen Chichi,
His cousin is Brother Chen Kai,
His mother is a national first-class actor,
His maternal uncle was a famous composer.
He said that he relied on himself to become the male protagonist of the love apartment.
Do you believe it?
Oh, and recently a certain and urine poet joined the Writers' Association.
The world is as black as a crow,
It won't be white because it's an old and beautiful crow,
It won't be a little darker just because it's a crow of the Celestial Empire.
For half a year, Jessica Alba has starred in this sci-fi American drama.
The filming work was very busy in the early stage, and it was a little better later.
In the early stage, I shot the location, mainly in Los Angeles.
There's Fox's outdoor studio over there.
Most of the post-production shooting was interior shots, and I came to shoot here at the Twentieth Century Fox headquarters.
Twentieth Century Fox was previously based in California, but moved to New York in the '90s.
The crew came to New York, and this is how Abel and her reunion here.
"It's all done." Faced with Abel's question, Jessica in his arms smiled and said, "The next thing is post-production, and there is no more to do with me." ”
"When will it be played?"
"I don't know. It's not decided yet, but it seems to be in October at the earliest. ”
Abel nodded.
The production of ordinary American dramas is okay, this "Black Angel of the Last Days" is a science fiction genre.
There are some special effects in it, which are more expensive than the cost of ordinary American dramas, and it takes longer in the later stage.
In this, there are some shots, which are simply Cameron experimenting with new filmmaking techniques and technologies.
Of course, it takes a long time.
"I think you'll be popular this time." Abel said with a smile in affirmation.
In parallel space-time,
Jessica Alba, who has debuted for many years and has even been the heroine several times.
It's been tepid.
It wasn't until this "Black Angel of the Last Days" was launched that it became popular all of a sudden.
She won the 2001 National Teen Choice Award for Best TV Actress for this TV series.
Winning this award means that she is the first person in this year,
The most popular female TV star liked by young Americans.
It is roughly equivalent to the Golden Eagle Goddess in the early Celestial Empire.
Who are the Golden Eagle goddesses in the early stage?
Liu Tianxian, Li Yantou, Wang Luodan, Liu Xiaoshi.....
Each of them was the hottest TV actress at the time.
After the launch of this sci-fi drama, Jessica has also become the hottest TV series star in the United States from this year to next year.
"I think so too~" Jessica Alba said half-jokingly, half-confidently.
Most of her self-confidence is due to Cameron.
This is the TV series filmed by James Cameron, the creator of the world's No. 1 box office record.
Looking at her confidence, the corners of her mouth are heart-warming.
Abel couldn't help it and wanted to kiss it again.
Fortunately, at this moment, the small Nokia mobile phone in the pocket vibrated and rang.
Jessica was actually already tilting her head, waiting for him to kiss her.
Seeing the phone, she said obediently, "Someone is looking for you." ”
Abel took it out and looked at it, and the note was "Michael Ovitz".
"It's Michael Ovitz's call." He said casually.
"Michael Ovitz?" Jessica was stunned.
The name seemed familiar, she thought.
At this time, Abel had already answered the phone, "Hello, good afternoon." Michael, I hope you can bring me some good news today. ”
"Hahaha~ Dear Mr. Smith, it is indeed good news."
On the other side of the phone, Michael Ovitz smiled heartily:
"You may need to come but too.
I have invited Mr. Bloomberg, Mr. David Geffen, Mr. Ariel Zeve Emmanuel, and a few other guests to visit my yacht today. ”
Abel raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean ....."
"That's right."
Michael Ovitz over there said, "These three gentlemen have about 11 percent of the shares in CAA. There are several others, and there are also some shares. Combined, the shares of all of them are more than fifteen percent. ”
"I'm sure you'll be interested, Mr. Smith."
"Understood."
Abel said decisively: "I'll go now." ”
