Chapter 353: Tuao Big Aries
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
Where there are rivers and lakes, there are forces, there are mountains, and there are gangs.
Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, all over the world. The same is true of Hollywood, which is not exempt from vulgarity.
Hollywood, actors of all sizes from Australia. Unconsciously formed a kind of mutual aid force group, namely the "Australian Gang", which has a lot of influence in Hollywood.
Australia is in the south, and the United States is in the north. Like the Northern Expedition of the Sea Gang, the "Australian Gang" has quietly invaded a large area of territory in Hollywood.
If this "gang" has to choose a gang leader, the only one who can convince the public is probably Murdoch.
Born on a farm in the countryside of Melbourne, Australia, this media tycoon is a Hollywood boss and the owner of 20th Century Fox.
Because of this, the homesick elder prefers to use actors from Australia.
So a group of Australian rookie actors became popular with his support.
These people are also willing to pair up with each other, combine them, and work together to make films.
Thus, an invisible "Australian Gang" was formed.
There are similar gangs, as well as families, and there are actually many more in Hollywood.
For example, the famous Coppola family is a family power dominated by the famous director Francis Ford Coppola, and extended by him.
The entire Coppola family has won a total of 9 Oscars.
There is a star Nicolas Cage that many people know in China, whose original name is Nicolas King Coppola - the family belongs to this family, and Nicolas Cage is just his stage name.
There are countless similar gangs and families in Hollywood, in order to get resources, opportunities, and not to be excluded.
These people use geography, blood, or friendship as a bond, forming a semi-invisible small group in Hollywood.
In this "Jianghu", the status of the Australian gang is acceptable.
Cate Blanchett and her husband Andrew are both characters in this "gang".
Because she came to the dock relatively early, and she was also a good mix, Kate also had a higher status in the Australian gang.
But among the actors, the highest status of the Australian gang is undoubtedly Tom Cruise.
This Australian actor, as well as a religious leader, is currently one of the hottest actors in Hollywood.
But he is more widely known to Chinese people because he has a wife named Nicole Kidman.
Right now, in the mansion at 10410 Bellagio Road, Tuao Big White Aries is talking softly with Kate.
Nicole Kidman came to Kate today for the "Australian Gang" reunion at the end of the year.
They are actors from Australia, and at the end of each year, usually before Christmas, they organize a small party.
This party is mainly used to maintain internal friendships, but also to exchange some resources on *** and help each other.
According to Russell Crowe, the spiritual leader of the Australian Gang.
The party's best Australian performers of the year covered most of the costs and provided the venue.
The total cost is only more than 100,000 US dollars, which is not a high pressure for a good actor who has come out.
This party started a few years ago, and so far it has been doing well.
According to this rule, it will be Cate Blanchett's turn to be in charge this year.
In other words, among this year's Australian actors. Except for Tom Cruise, an over-spec first-line A coffee.
Kate is the most successful Aussie actor of the year, and it is her turn to be in charge of this year's Aussie Gang Party.
And Nicole Kidman has always been the most sociable one in the Australian gang.
She helps out with the annual party so that the organizers are not overworked.
This year it was Kate's turn, and as the time got closer, Nicole Kidman came to the door.
Nicole has been looking for Kate for two days.
Kate had been on the phone before
Said she was in San Francisco.
But when Nicole said that she wanted to go to her, Kate refused.
Until today.
When Nicole Kidman called, his tone was a little angry.
Kate agreed to Nicole's request to meet and gave her the address.
Nicole Kidman came to the door.
There is no doubt that Nicole Kidman, who entered this top Beverly Hills mansion, was shocked.
This house is more luxurious than the house on Beverly Hills where she is divorcing her husband.
This kind of house, even if it is the top Hollywood actor, may not be able to afford to live in it.
Nicole knew it wasn't Cate Blanchett's home.
Kate's home, Nicole she had been to before. It's at the foot of Beverly Hills, two or three million dollars at most.
For a house like this, Nicole guesses at least two or three million dollars.
With Kate's or her husband's income, Nicole felt that she would never be able to live in it for the rest of her life.
But in this house, Nicole found that she was as familiar as a hostess.
The servants and maids in the villa treated her like their masters.
Nicole Kidman went from surprise to shock.
This surprise and shock lasted until Nicole discovered the existence of the man in this house.
The man is not Andrew Upton, not Cate Blanchett's husband.
It's a big guy who couldn't help but be startled when Nicole found out, which shocked her even more.
Seeing Abel Smith here, to be honest, the Aries was really scared.
It took a while for Nicole Kidman to suppress her shocked heart.
But at this time, she had already forgotten about the year-end party.
At this moment, what Nicole wants to know more is how Cate Blanchett and Abel Smith got together.
This...... This is also too enviable for Nicole!
The mansion sparkles next to the pool, under the tall and beautiful Mexican palm tree.
Nicole looked at Abel on the phone on the balcony, and then at Cate Blanchett, who was silent, next to her.
"Kate. What is going on?"
"I promise you."
She whispered to Kate, "I'll be sure to keep it a secret for you. Really, please trust me."
Looking at Nicole's beautiful face, full of curiosity and curiosity.
Kate sneered in her heart, she knew her fellow Australians very well.
Tom Cruise had a good relationship with his ex-wife, *** Rogers.
But not long after Tom met Nicole Kidman, who had just debuted and was still a rookie actor.
Tom Cruise quickly abandoned his wife and married Nicole Kidman less than two months after the divorce.
In this matter, as long as you are in the Australian entertainment industry, you know what is going on.
Nicole and her husband have broken down this year and are currently in divorce proceedings.
Now in front of his own eyes, he is doing this kind of performance of a good friend.
If you are a girl who is not deeply involved in the world, you may be deceived by her. But Kate is thirty-two years old this year.
Nicole tried to lie to her, but it wasn't that easy.
But Kate didn't have any good intentions when she called Nicole over.
Facing the appearance of Tuao Da Aries.
After sneering in her heart, Kate replied softly:
"And what do you think will happen?"
Nicole looked at Kate's expression, then looked up at Abel on the balcony.
At this time, Abel had just finished making a phone call.
Nicole Kidman, who is fighting a divorce lawsuit and trying to find her next home, sees Abel on the balcony and actually waves at her.
Nicole Kidman was stunned, and then immediately burst into excitement, subconsciously wanting to go back to him
Should.
Fortunately, Nicole is still sensible, and she knows that Kate is still there next to her.
She was a little scrupulous, but she just smiled at Abel, and tried her best to show Abel her charming side.
It's a pity that it's a bit far away, and Nicole suspects that it doesn't work very well.
Looking at her performance, she has been confined to Abel's side for a few days.
For a few days, Kate, who has been replenished by demons and can't even take medicine, sneered in her heart-
J husband Y woman!
"This gentleman doesn't look that scary. He's very pleasant."
After seeing Abel disappear into the balcony, Nicole continued to talk to Nicole in a whisper.
Nicole wants to continue to get more information about someone. She felt that no matter what, it would never hurt her.
Affable?
You don't know how terrible he is at something!
Kate knows Nicole Kidman's mind. This kind of thing is the same woman, and they are all actresses from Hollywood.
And in the case that Nicole Kidman is worse than herself.
Kate knew what this sao woman was thinking at this time.
"Yes. Although he is the richest man in the world, and he is the owner of Smith Media, he is a tycoon even more powerful than Mr. Murdoch."
Kate smiled at Nicole and said, "But Mr. Smith is a very gentle man."
Well, the sage is quite gentle when it comes to time.
But he often only had a few minutes of time at a time.
That is, his gentleness lasted only a few minutes.
Kate thought to herself.
Nicole Kidman was already full of envy at this time.
Just like Nicole doesn't say, Kate knows what she thinks.
Even if Kate doesn't admit it, she lives in Abel Smith's mansion and is treated as a mistress by the maid.
This says that she and Abel are innocent, how can Nicole believe it?
The two Australian actresses, at this time, are full of calculation and vigilance against each other...
A dream flies on the branches and becomes a phoenix.
A broken jar is broken, trying to pull someone else into the water.
This kind of boring calculation between women was temporarily interrupted after Abel appeared in front of the two of them.
But what shocked Nicole's eyes was that Abel came over.
actually hugged Kate in front of her, and kissed him passionately in front of him without any scruples.
This made Nicole can't help but open her pretty mouth slightly.
So direct, so ... Undisguised?
A few minutes later.
The panting Kate was let go, and Nicole heard the big man laugh and say to herself:
"Hello. Miss Nicole Kidman, it's a pleasure to meet you, I love the work you put on. My name is Abel Smith."
In the face of the big man's self-introduction, Nicole Kidman hurriedly responded:
"Hello Mr. Smith! I'm Nicole Kidman, I'm glad you liked it, I'm so glad you did. I'm telling the truth, and I'm so happy that you like it!"
Nicole was a little excited because the big man took the initiative to greet her, and her speech seemed a little incoherent.
She's excited.
Abel was also looking at the stunner in front of him.
A thick golden big ~ wave ~ wave long hair, thick eyelashes, charming eyes, sensual and plump lips, and thousands of winds that are revealed all the time. Feeling.
She was wearing a pink and purple ultra-short shawl coat, which further set off her first-class figure.
Pair it with a bright yellow velvet knee-length skirt and a pair of black high boots...... It's so coquettish.
It was the woman in front of me who looked like she was only in her twenties, and she was actually two years older than Kate.
He is 34 years old this year, the same age as Sophie Marceau, the kiss of France.
But she looks a little younger than Kate.
Kate is
Twenty years old looks so mature, thirty years old is still like this, forty years old still hasn't changed much.
The big white sheep in front of him has always been dazzlingly white.
Abel remembers that she, like Kate, seems to be able to last for more than ten years.
It also has a certain collection value.
Compared to the time when Liv needed to think of some ways to trick Kate into Abel's bag.
Nicole Kidman's "appreciative" eyes in the face of Abel were much more direct.
Even for this reason, she deliberately staggered her feet slightly, twisted her crotch slightly, and quietly posed a pose that showed her feminine charm better, so that Able could better appreciate it.
It's a pool!
Cate Blanchett, who is somewhat involuntary, looks at her active look.
I couldn't help but curse in my heart.
"Are you friends with Kate?"
After seeing enough of the wonderful figure and gorgeous appearance of the big white sheep.
Abel smiled and spoke.
"yes. We are all Australians. They were good friends back in Australia. I'm on good terms with Kate, Kate, right?"
Nicole Kidman looked at Kate with a pleading look in her eyes.
Pray for Kai to be particularly debunked.
Kate only hopes to pull people into the water at this time, where will it be demolished.
She was held in Abel's arms, her breath finally evened out, and she nodded slightly, "Yes. We have a good relationship."
Nicole laughed happily and thought Kate was a little silly.
Just when she was thinking, what to do. When you attract the super big man in front of you to your pomegranate skirt.
David Jones walked over.
The chief butler did not squint as always, and there was only Abel in his eyes.
「BOSS。 Bob Weinstein and Harvey Weinstein are here."
David whispered.
Abel nodded when he heard this, and said directly to him, "Then let the two of them in. It's cooler here, so I'll meet them here."
David nodded yes and turned to call someone.
As the chief steward, David didn't have to do this kind of work.
Just let the maid or the maid, or some other bodyguard, do it.
But this kind of thing, David has always done it himself.
It's not that he can't trust servants or bodyguards.
Rather, David thinks that this can increase his chances of appearing in front of the boss.
Over time, after the boss adapts, he can increase his status in the boss's heart.
This is one of the secrets that David secretly learned from those professional psychology professors and servant masters.
Maybe it's because he's so serious about this little thing.
Among Abel's many subordinates, he and Edward will become the two most trusted people in Abel.
When David left to call someone to bring someone in, Kate and Nicole looked at Abel.
Able shrugged at them, "Brother Weinstein is here. It's that Miramax's Weinstein."
Nicole couldn't help but look at Kate after hearing this. She saw that the latter did not leave, and there was no special expression.
Nicole, who was still thinking about avoiding it, thought about it. She decided to stay and stay with Kate anyway.
When the Weinstein brothers come in.
Nicole and Kate were both standing next to Abel, who was sitting on an outdoor sofa in the shade of the garden by the villa's pool.
"Mr. Smith." Harvey Weinstein, like David just now, did not squint, and greeted Abel respectfully and loudly: "Good afternoon. It's a pleasure to see you again!"
His younger brother, Bob Weinstein, meets Abel for the first time.
It was also the first time I saw a Hollywood actress, standing next to Abel in the open.
This made Bob Weinstein can't help but look at Nicole and Kate more.
But he quickly regained his mind and smiled
"Hello, Mr. Smith. I'm Bob Weinstein, Harvey's brother."
"Hahaha~"
Abel's laughter rang out, and he said to the two brothers, mainly to Bob Weinstein:
"I've heard Harvey tell me. Bob, I'll call you that. Bob, it's right to leave Disney. Michael continues to fool around, and he is estimated to be fired by Disney's shareholders. Welcome to MGM, your presence has made my film company stronger."
Abel is not joking, he remembers that Michael Eisner will be rejected by Disney shareholders in the past two years, and will be fired by the company.
Bob smiled modestly, "Mr. Smith, I think I thank you for taking you in. Thank you very much."
His humble gesture.
At a drinking party, I once saw Bob Weinstein in front of everyone, and Nicole Kidman, who was a third-tier actor who was drenched with alcohol all over his face, was a little surprised and a little clear.
It's surprising that a "big old" like Bob Weinstein would have such a scene where he is as humble as an actor who has just run the show.
But she knew it. Bob Weinstein is like this, just because Bob is a real big man who is several times more terrifying than him.
Nicole Kidman first realized.
In front of him, the man who was holding Kate and kissing unscrupulously just now was such a presence in the circle.
If such an existence exists, it can ..... Nicole couldn't even think about it anymore.
Unbeknownst to Abel, Nicole Kidman was already thinking about it at this time.
When doing business, his spirit will not be on women.
The Weinstein brothers in front of him were specially called by him.
First, he wanted to know how Harvey Weinstein's work was going.
A few months ago, he asked Harvey to contact Hasbro to acquire or license some of Hasbro's IP.
As for Harvey's younger brother Bob, it was after he knew what his brother had been treated on Abel's side.
Bob, who has become very restricted without his brother's help in Miramax, also has the psychology of changing jobs.
He contacted Abel about Tohavi.
When Abel found out, he welcomed him.
The main thing is that Abel also knows that the two brothers are real strongmen in terms of film shooting and operation.
The ability is very good, and the MGM Film Group, which is currently growing more and more, needs such film talents.
When Bob Weinstein arrived, he was a good candidate, whether he was in charge of a new film company on his own, or he was going to be a producer to oversee the filming of the film.
At the beginning of this month.
Bob Weinstein has officially resigned from Miramax to MGM Pictures Group.
This time, Abel called Harvey Weinstein over and asked him to bring Bob with him.
Although MGM Pictures Group may continue to shoot blockbusters for a long time in the future.
But art films that can win the Oscars, as well as independent films with small investments, will not let go.
Abel thought that Bob would be in charge of this, and Harvey Weinstein would be on hand to help, and this configuration would be very safe.
Today he plans to meet with this brother and explain their work in this regard.
"Hasbro only licenses movie rights?"
After listening to the results of Harvey's contact with Hasbro, Able nodded:
"I see. You don't have to worry about it in the future. Continue to buy your rights, and by the way, help Bob, and the company will go to the Oscars in the future."
"As for Hasbro's thing. By the way, I think it was only worth a few billion dollars?"
When he said the latter, Abel looked at David.
Without waiting for David to answer, Harvey Waynes
Tan preemptively said:
"I saw it this morning! Hasbro has just paid dividends and ex-rights, and now the stock price is negative! But the market capitalization is around $869 million!"
In the U.S. stock market, there are often stocks with negative values.
This is not to say that the value of such stocks has fallen directly.
However, the price of this kind of stock is extremely low, and after the dividend is ex-right every year or month, the proportion of dividends and dividends is relatively high, which directly pulls the stock price away.
If the company's follow-up operation is normal, it can still pull back the value of the stock.
But such companies are generally in a difficult situation.
This is the case with Apple, Qualcomm and the like in the past.
"$869 million? So cheap—" Abel said softly.
He really felt cheap. If nothing else, just with the copyright of Transformers owned by Hasbro, the value is more than that.
Of course, that was after the success of the manga movie.
In the present, at a time when manga movies are just getting on the right track.
Hasbro, Marvel, DC, etc., all of them are worthless.
In this day and age, they generally have to make money by selling toys or comics, or making cartoons.
This is Abel's cognition.
But listening to the people next to him, most of them thought that he was in Versailles.
Even if they didn't know what Versailles meant, the feeling was the same.
"David, inform Alan."
Now that the funds are extremely abundant, Abel decides to take Hasbro ahead of schedule.
"Let him make a general tender offer for Hasbro. Or go to the board of directors of the other party and ask for a takeover. Well... The premium is within 30%."
David Jones smiled and nodded, and directly took out his phone to make a call.
This scene made several good dock practitioners look straight in the eyes.
More than 800 million dollars of companies, say buy and buy.... Bob couldn't help but look at his brother.
Harvey noticed his eyes and shrugged at him imperceptibly, meaning that our current boss is so rich.
Bob thought of the comparison between the now wealthy MGM Group and Disney movies.
As soon as he compared, Bob's heart couldn't help but feel glad about his choice.
In fact, in parallel time and space, the two brothers also broke away from Miramax Company after 2005 and started a new business together.
This plane, due to the appearance of Abel.
The two brothers' practices and choices are much ahead of schedule.
Harvey Weinstein's future has also changed a little because of the appearance of Abel.
The Weinstein brothers interact.
Kate wasn't idle, she was secretly watching Bi's reaction.
Sure enough, as she expected, Nicole Kidman's eyes could be said to be full of water at this time.
Kate thinks.
At this time, if he and the Weinstein brothers are not here.
Then this female cousin is very likely to take the initiative to pounce on Abel!
She thinks Nicole Kidman is such a person.
As for herself, she felt that she was forced to be helpless, and she had no choice.
Be..... It was Andrew who gave up on me, even if he didn't know it now!
Kate remembered that a few days ago, Andrew happily called herself.
said that he was favored by Smith Media and was going to work at the headquarters of the screenwriting company in the Smith Building in New York.
said that after two years of struggle, when they came out, everyone could have a good reunion.
Before that, even if the two sides were separated, it didn't matter.
Thinking of her husband who went to New York, Kate couldn't help but feel a surge of sadness in her heart.
Kate thought about it again for the past few days, and she didn't give herself any medicine, and that guy made so many of them inside every day.
Myself
It's still a dangerous time.
Cate Blanchett thought to herself that she probably wouldn't be able to go back to the past.
This made her look at Nicole Kidman's eyes, and she couldn't help but flicker a little.
Just like the legendary water ghost who drowned and died, he likes to pull people into the water as a substitute for the dead ghost.
At this time, Kate, she also wants to pull people into the water.
Nicole Kidman, who sent herself to the door, was her first target.
Kate, whose heart has begun to darken. At this time, he was even looking for other objects in his heart except for Ni Ke.
The first thing she thought of was an Australian actor like Nicole.
The first thing that comes to mind is the Australian actor Rose Byrne, who is younger than her and Nicole, and is also beautiful.
Behind it is...
Cate Blanchett's heart in this regard can't help but get darker and darker.
Compared with the four people who have complicated minds.
Abel's thinking at this time was much simpler.
After dealing with the Weinstein brothers, wait for them to leave.
Abel's thoughts, just like normal men, came to the body of Tuao Da Aries.
34-year-old Nicole Kidman is at the peak of her familiarity.
Just looking at it, he felt juicy and delicious.
If it weren't for the rise in status, I would have begun to have some scruples about the image.
Maybe now he's going to have to figure out how to do it.
But in fact, he doesn't have to take the initiative.
Everything that happened later, with Kate's connivance and even support.
and Nicole Kidman's own initiative to send X underneath.
Everything can be said to be .... Logical!
