America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 127 Hollywood she-wolves

  The City of Angels is brightly lit at night.

  Although there is no row upon row of high-rise buildings in New York.

  The lights on Beverly Hills still announce the prosperity of the city.

  Here is the largest film industry in the world, where dazzling stars can be produced every year, this is Hollywood.

   Every year, countless handsome men and beautiful women flock here to seek their own opportunities.

  In the United States and in the world, they are eager to become popular and become those big stars who are admired or reserved or noble or individual.

  As long as they can become famous, as long as they can gain a foothold and even develop in Hollywood, a place where luxury and money are glamorous, they don't mind giving everything!

  Wait, you said they did it for the show and for the movie business?

   Sure, everyone says that, no?

  Beverly Hills.

  Mr. Michael Ovitz, CEO of Innovation Elite Culture Company.

  Tonight, he is holding a small to medium dance party at his villa in Beverly Hills.

  This dance party mainly faces many Hollywood artists signed by CAA.

  The VIPs are the executives of the major Hollywood giants who have a good relationship with CAA.

   Today's CAA is no longer the momentum that swept Hollywood in the early 1990s.

   But there is no doubt that the innovative package brokerage model, coupled with years of word-of-mouth and the number of senior partners.

  caa, the company, is still the undisputed leader in the Hollywood industry in terms of entertainment management.

  Facing the reception initiated by the head of the industry overlord.

  In Hollywood, those who signed CAA. Or celebrities who have a good relationship with CAA, basically all of them came.

   For example not long ago,

   At the Four Seasons Hotel in downtown San Francisco, I saw Charlize Theron from Abel's side from a distance.

  Charlize Theron entered the circle at the age of eighteen, and is twenty-five years old this year.

  The brokerage company she signed with at the beginning was a small company that mainly relied on finding newcomers to gain a foothold.

   There are many such companies in Hollywood, and they all dream of becoming giants like CAA.

  But most of them will be abandoned by the stars after they are dug out and become famous.

  Charlize Theron also made such a choice. In 1996, she left her original brokerage company and joined CAA Creative Elite Culture Broker.

  Since then, she has officially become famous, and there are many film appointments.

   Today, she is already one of the second-tier stars in Hollywood.

   It is only one step away from the first line.

  As long as it can stage a blockbuster, or get Oscar recognition.

  Those years of accumulation will allow her to progress from the second line to the first line.

   There are not many such opportunities, and she is very cautious, and she is also working hard to find opportunities.

  A cocktail party for big shots like Michael Ovitz in the Return of the King circle.

   Naturally, she would not let it go, and came dressed up.

  It was like the similar receptions I attended a few years ago.

  Charlize Theron is on the court with ease, dealing with the looks, greetings, receptions and covetousness from all sides.

  However, what she values ​​most is actually the host of tonight's reception——Michael Ovitz.

   When Charlize Theron joined CAA, Michael happened to go to Disney.

   Waiting for Charlize Theron to gain support from CAA and gain a firm foothold in Hollywood.

  Michael Ovitz, who wanted to return to CAA, was severely rejected.

   Even Charlize Theron basically doesn't know Michael Ovitz, the former Hollywood mogul.

  If Michael Ovitz does not return to caa, or just disappears.

   But Michael Ovitz is back.

  Charlize Theron is for her own benefit, for the stepping stone to the front line.

   She had to deal with Michael Ovitz.

   After all, although caa does not produce resources, it is the best resource intermediary in the circle.

   is the best resource mover.

  When actors like Charlize Theron compete for resources.

  caa These brokerage companies can often play a great role.

  Because they know too much about the executives of Hollywood giants.

  Able to play to one's liking, able to seduce with interests, able to deceive the superior and the inferior, and able to practice deceit.

  Most Hollywood actors need this kind of ability from brokerage companies.

  This can help actors get better opportunities, better remuneration, and more exposure opportunities.

  During the reception,

  Charlize Theron has been looking for opportunities.

  She wanted to be right in front of Michael Ovitz.

   It's a pity that Michael Ovitz has been talking and laughing with many Hollywood executives since the beginning of the reception.

   No chance of Charlize Theron touching.

  Wait until Charlize Theron temporarily gave up and chatted at the reception, when she reappeared.

  She suddenly discovered,

  Michael Ovitz is not on the court for some reason.

  The organizer of the reception, there was no one in the middle.

  This is rarely seen in Hollywood receptions.

  Generally speaking, the convener who initiates the reception.

   Most of the time, it should appear where everyone can easily find it.

   Charlize Theron glanced around with a pair of beautiful eyes.

   There is no one in the reception hall.

  There is no outdoor cold dining area either.

  Michael Ovitz was also not found in the outdoor swimming pool next to the buffet area.

Where did you go?

   I won’t be with any bitch, so I went into the room, right?

  When she was thinking.

  A gentle voice sounded behind her.

   "Hi~ Charlize, you look very beautiful tonight."

   Charlize Theron turned around, and saw her friend Keanu Reeves appearing behind her with a glass of red wine.

  Charlize Theron showed a slight smile on her face, "Ha~ good evening. Reeves, thank you for your compliment."

  A Hollywood actor who was born in a non-American country and holds dual citizenship has a small circle in Beverly Hills.

   Charlize Theron is a dual citizen of South Africa and the United States, and Keanu Reeves is a dual citizen of Canada and the United States.

   Both of them have participated in the gatherings of this small circle, so even if they have not cooperated at this time.

  The two are considered friends, and when they meet at a reception, they will naturally chat a little more.

   Keanu Reeves in 2000 can be said to be in the moment of glory.

  The release and popularity of "The Matrix" last year made Keanu Reeves famous and rich.

   For a while, his status in Hollywood.

   Even faintly has the momentum of more than two Toms.

   Compared with Charlize Theron, who has more than enough second-tier and first-tier deficiencies, Keanu Reeves has a higher status in the circle.

  But no matter how high the status is, it can't change the reality that Keanu Reeves is still just an actor.

  In any case, it is not as good as the top figure in the food chain in a circle like Michael Ovitz.

   Charlize Theron ostensibly chatting with Keanu Reeves.

   Actually, Charlize Theron was looking for Michael Ovitz.

   It's just that Michael Ovitz doesn't show up now, and she can only chat with friends to pass the time.

   I was talking about Keanu Reeves' crime thriller "Justice Watch", which was just released in September this year.

   Charlize Theron suddenly saw Keanu Reeves stop talking, pointing in the direction of his left side, and whispered in surprise:

   "Look over there, Charlize. Over there, look who Michael brought over. Oh, that guy looks so tall, so young, and so handsome!"

   At the beginning, Charlize Theron was still a little puzzled.

   When she turned her head and looked in that direction.

   You know what Keanu Reeves is talking about.

   Because there, the garden entrance of the villa.

  The host of this reception tonight, Mr. Michael Ovitz, CEO of caa.

  He was walking in front, with his right hand slightly stretched out, his attitude was somewhat respectful and gentle.

  In that state, he looked like a hotel doorman, leading the way for a tall and handsome young man behind him.

   "Who's this guy?" Charlize Theron heard Keanu Reeves whisper:

   "Make Michael so important? The super newcomer that caa wants to promote?"

   Unlike her friend Keanu Reeves, Charlize Theron already recognized the young man.

  She wanted to say that she had met this young man once.

   Haven’t spoken yet.

  Charlize Theron heard it, and a slightly hoarse and wild female voice came from the side.

   "Perhaps Michael wants to promote a fresh meat idol like Leonardo after returning to CAA?"

  Charlize Theron turned slightly sideways, and saw that the person speaking was one of the fiercest competitors in Hollywood.

  Won an Academy Award, Angelina Jolie for Best Supporting Actress.

   "Good evening, Charlize." Angelina Jolie was very active at the reception all night.

   Same as Charlize Theron.

   But throughout the night, the two of them hardly spoke a word.

  Until now, the two are in the same position.

  A very fiercely competitive actress, the moment of dialogue at the reception tonight for the first time.

   "Good evening, Angelina." Charlize Theron smiled.

at this time,

  Michael Ovitz has put that on everyone's radar.

  Made Michael Ovitz look like a doorman-like young man, brought to the middle of the reception.

  After Angelina Jolie and Charlize Theron and others, Michael Ovitz was heard loudly proclaiming:

   "Everyone, please forgive my short disappearance just now."

   "Actually I didn't leave just now."

   "I just went out for a while, went out to meet my boss!"

   "That's right, you heard me right, my boss!"

   "He is the largest shareholder of caa and the chairman of the board of directors of caa. At the same time, he is also the chairman of ab Smith Entertainment and the chairman of Marvel Studios!"

   "Now, please welcome my boss, Mr. Abel Smith!!"

  Michael Ovitz's voice is full of emotion, with his hands raised high, with the voice of a soprano singer.

   Loudly in front of hundreds of people, shouted out the identity of the young man in front of him.

   While raising his hands high, his voice fell.

  The entire reception scene burst into warm and unrestrained applause.

   Regardless of whether everyone recognizes the Abel Smith in front of you.

   But everyone knows Michael Ovitz.

   And basically, it's all for Ovitz.

   Or be invited by Ovitz.

  Everyone present must give Ovitz face.

   This gave rise to applause, neat and enthusiastic, as if they had come to the awarding scene of some awards.

"Wow!!"

   Charlize Theron was applauding in cooperation, and suddenly heard Keanu Reeves next to him clapping and shouting:

   "I remember! I remember who this guy is! No wonder it looks familiar! Wow, this is a super rich man, the one with his name on the Forbes list!!"

  It was noisy, but Keanu Reeves was there.

   Charlize Theron and Angelina Jolie can naturally hear Keanu Reeves' words.

  Amidst the unceasing applause, Angelina Jolie asked Keanu.

   "Reeves, what are you talking about? What super rich? We have super rich here tonight?"

  Different from Anne Hathaway who was admitted to New York University with her own ability.

  It is also different from Liv Tyler, who is also the second generation of stars, but is more restrained on the surface.

   Angelina Jolie, the second-generation star, has not been a good girl since she was a child.

  This is a veteran Los Angeles girl who can wear a leather jacket full of nails and dye her hair dark purple when she is twelve or thirteen years old.

  When she was fourteen, she rented a garage with her punk band boyfriend, stayed out all day, listened to heavy metal music, stimulated her nerves with drugs and that kind of thing.

   In a sense,

   Angelina Jolie a few years ago,

  It is a collection of all the bad stereotypes of American girls in the eyes of the Chinese.

   Such women are the ones who are ignorant.

  Angelina Jolie has never paid attention to things other than the entertainment industry.

   Naturally, I haven’t read the latest issue of Forbes, so I don’t know what Keanu Reeves just said.

  Charlize Theron actually doesn't know what Keanu Reeves means.

  Recently, she is on the run, busy participating in the audition for two movie heroines.

  Appeared in San Francisco earlier, just to audition for one of them.

  She has been very busy recently, and has not paid attention to the news in this area.

   She also looks at Keanu Reeves.

   Keanu Reeves noticed the curious eyes of the two beauties.

  After discovering Abel’s identity, the popular actor who was very surprised immediately said:

   "Abel Smith, haven't you heard of it?"

   "America's Youngest Billionaire, Youngest Mr. Billion."

   "No. 35 on the list of the richest people in the United States, and No. 51 on the list of the world's richest people!"

   "The major shareholder and chairman of caa company, the key figure for Michael Ovitz to return to caa."

   "Forbes reported him before. In recent days, because of Michael Ovitz, newspapers in Hollywood have also reported a lot on this super rich man."

   "Don't you all read newspapers?"

   At the end, Keanu Reeves complained.

   Charlize Theron listened for a while in a trance.

  She remembered that the assistant had told herself about this in recent days.

   It was just that Charlize felt that this kind of top-level big shot was too far away from him.

  Plus she was too busy at the time, so she didn't pay too much attention.

   As for Angelina Jolie, she really doesn't care about that.

  In addition to acting and pursuing excitement, while maintaining your own personality.

  Angelina Jolie, who has little interest in anything else.

   At this time, the two listened to Keanu Reeves' explanation, even if they didn't know it before.

   now also know.

  Charlize Theron's reaction was—"Sure enough, I was right that night. He is a big guy with status!"

  Angelina Jolie's mind is full of "caa chairman", "the 35th richest man in the United States", and "the 51st richest man in the world".

   At this moment, the applause faded away.

   I saw that Michael Ovitz gave up his position and asked Abel Smith to talk to everyone.

  Charlize et al.,

   Then he saw this tall, handsome, young and excessive man, and said with a smile:

   "Gentlemen, ladies, gentlemen and ladies, good evening."

   "I'm Abe Smith and I just came from San Francisco and Texas."

   "That's right. Like Michael said, I'm his boss. And an investor who's interested in Hollywood."

   "It's a pleasure meeting you here tonight."

   "I hope that in the future, I or my company will have the opportunity to cooperate with you."

   "Thank you~"

  As the voice of the super rich fell, there was even more enthusiastic applause than after Ovitz had finished speaking just now.

   Everyone applauded just now to show Michael Ovitz face.

  Now everyone is applauding vigorously because it is in everyone's eyes.

   Standing in front of Michael Ovitz was not Abel Smith.

   It's a pile of money that smells like oily paper and ink, piled up on the top of the head.

   Or the giant alligator above Michael Ovitz and many other Hollywood giant executives.

   Or the unlimited opportunities in Hollywood, with mansions, yachts, luxury cars, and dollar bills!

   Realistic Hollywood,

   What I like most is this kind of existence that can directly bring stimulation to reality.

   Super rich alas!

  Warm applause,

   It's so big that the roof of Michael Ovitz's villa will be lifted off.

  Charlize Theron was applauding when she noticed that Angelina Jolie was clapping especially hard.

  She also saw that Angelina Jolie's beautiful wild and aggressive eyes were exuding the eyes of a hungry female leopard at the moment.

   "Oh~ it's perfect."

  Charlize Theron heard Angelina Jolie whispering like this.

   This allowed Charlize Theron, who was a little slow to react, to instantly understand Angelina Jolie's intentions and the reason for her appearance.

   Realizing this, Charlize Theron looked at the young man in front of Ovitz.

   also started to look different.

   Fortunately, although the applause was enthusiastic, it gradually died down.

   It is impossible to applaud forever, after all, palms are made of meat.

  Even if everyone is very excited.

   But when Michael Ovitz took the super rich and led a group of Hollywood executives to the corner.

  Everyone's excited mood and warm applause finally came to an end.

   "Ha~" Keanu Reeves rubbed his palms, "Just now I almost thought that I was at the Oscar awards party."

  He smiled and looked at the two beauties, but saw Angelina Jolie directly said to himself: "Excuse me."

   Then this wild actress with thick lips left the small circle directly.

   Keanu Reeves frowned, feeling a little strange.

   Then he immediately heard Charlize Theron, like Angelina Jolie, say sorry to himself.

   Watching Charlize Theron leave, Keanu Reeves couldn't react.

   Ten minutes later.

   Keanu Reeves reacted.

  Because he suddenly found out.

tonight,

  The singles at the reception,

   Or female Hollywood practitioners whose male partner, boyfriend, or husband did not come.

   Almost all rushed in one direction.

   After figuring out what's going on.

   Keanu Reeves, who is also very handsome and is currently a first-line Hollywood superstar, couldn't help cursing in his heart—

   "FXXK! A bunch of shameless bitches! Hmph, like she-wolves in heat!"
