It seems that Roberts is really prosperous in Hollywood. He can own a single-family villa covering an area of 1,200 square meters with a lawn and swimming pool in the beautiful Hollywood Hills where villas are gathered. It does not cost 10 million. The U.S. dollars are absolutely impossible to get.
Gym, steam shower room, sauna room, swimming pool, home theater are all available. The balcony faces Los Angeles. You can overlook the night view of Los Angeles by leaning against the floor-to-ceiling windows. There are green mountains on both sides of the villa. Just looking at it is refreshing.
“The living room is the highlight of the entire building. The fireplace building materials are all made of limestone. The modern-style milky white furniture combines the sense of lines and art, making home life comfortable and comfortable, and also reflects the essence of the concept of high quality and low luxury in different eras. The large floor-to-ceiling glass windows with thick wooden beams on the vaults echo the high-mounted round-vaulted roof, rendering a strong Spanish romantic style for contemporary home art." While leading Jiang Chen into the villa, Roberts talked to Jiang Chen endlessly. The cow is blowing in the morning.
"You must have memorized the entire real estate agent's introduction, right?" Jiang Chen couldn't help but complain.
"Absolutely not," Roberts waved his hand quickly, but then said, "I can only memorize a few paragraphs at most."
At this time, after walking into the living room, Jiang Chen heard a shout with a smile coming from the balcony not far away.
"Hey, Roberts, are you okay? If you don't come again, we will give you this bottle of champagne that you have been collecting for ten years..."
"Oh! Shet! Don't do this, that's my life!" Roberts exclaimed exaggeratedly, kicked his leather shoes aside and walked into the house.
The laughter of men and women came from the balcony. Jiang Chen followed Roberts and walked into the living room together. Just as a man passed through the open French window and walked over from the balcony.
"Haha, Roberts, where is the big shot you are talking about? If you just want to show off your relationship with those 'old friends' in FI... Ouch! God, you, are you Jiang Chen?" The man with a playful smile suddenly turned his eyes. His eyes widened and he looked at the man next to Roberts in disbelief.
"That's right, nice to meet you." Jiang Chen smiled and extended his right hand.
Although this guy looked familiar, he couldn't pronounce his name. Unless it's a director or actor he particularly likes, or has impressive characteristics, he generally won't pay attention to that person's name.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Bryan Singer. If you have watched X-Men, you will be familiar with him."
When Jiang Chen heard the name Bryan Singer, he immediately matched his face with his name.
Speaking of Bryan Singer, most people will associate him with the word X-Men. Since the success of "The Usual Suspects" in 1995, Bryan Singer has officially entered the Hollywood circle from personal production. By 2000, the adaptation of "X-Men" directed by him achieved unexpected success, and his director career was subsequently tied to the X-Men.
It's not that he hasn't tried to transform, but it's like he was cursed. Whether it was "Superman Returns" or "Jack the Giant", the box-office failure caused Warner Bros. to cry for his father and mother, and also made his director career in trouble. On the shadow.
Hollywood is a realistic place. Whether a director's future is bright or not is directly linked to his box office results.
It's just that Jiang Chen remembered this guy's name not because of the X-Men, but because according to rumors, this guy is bisexual.
This is indeed an impressive feature.
"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you, Mr. Jiang Chen. I always thought that Roberts was bragging, but I didn't expect that this guy wasn't bragging!" Brian said excitedly while holding Jiang Chen's hand.
"Nice to meet you too, Mr. Singer. The X-Men are also quite famous in my country. Well, I've seen Apocalypse." Jiang Chen withdrew his hand with a smile on his face.
Shaking hands with a gay guy gave him goosebumps on his back.
Although it's just a rumor...
After all, it was a party hosted by Roberts, an old pervert. In addition to those bad friends he made in Hollywood, the blond and blue-eyed Ocean Horse was naturally indispensable. Some are Hollywood movie stars, and some
As Roberts said, he was doing well in Hollywood, and several box-office hits helped him become a well-known producer. In addition to Bryan Singer, Jiang Chen also saw Alicia Vikander. The queen, who plays Lara Croft in this year's (2018) Tomb Raider, looked to be the star of the party.
However, Jiang Chen knew very well that even for Roberts, a veteran in love, such a woman was quite difficult. Just being a producer wasn't enough to get her to spread her legs, and her ability to perform at parties didn't seem like she had a relationship with Roberts that went beyond friendship.
However, when facing Jiang Chen, like everyone else in the party, she showed a considerable degree of surprise... and interest.
"Mr. Jiang Chen, can I invite you to my house for a cup of coffee after the banquet?" Alicia pursed her bright red lips and asked in a seductive tone when there was no one around Jiang Chen.
The proposition was quite attractive, and everyone knew what coffee equaled in this context.
only…
"I'm sorry, Lao... Miss Alicia, this proposal is very tempting, but I'm afraid my temporary security consultant won't allow it." Jiang Chen declined her invitation with great regret.
Alicia Vikander, who was rejected, just smiled slightly and was not discouraged. After a few friendly conversations with Jiang Chen, she moved into another circle. Jiang Chen, who is working closely with Warner Bros., will undoubtedly help her acting career, and Virtual Image Animation has indeed shown its intention to enter Hollywood. But it was a pity that Jiang Chen didn't seem to show enough interest in her, and she was wise enough not to get involved again.
Not only big names like Alicia Vikander, but also many beautiful women at the banquet looked at him eagerly. Emma Watson's endorsement fee is enviable, and being able to get a supporting actress role in the epoch-making "Iron Curtain" is really enviable.
No one here is in a worse condition than her, and no one is willing to admit defeat.
The party lasted until eight o'clock in the evening. Unlike most private parties in Hollywood, it was already time to break up for this party that started in the afternoon. The sea breeze blowing from the west coast brought a little coolness, blowing away the heat in the hearts of the guests. The guests shook hands with Roberts one after another, exchanged greetings, and left with laughter and satisfaction.
Except Jiang Chen.
"How does it feel? This city."
"so so."
Roberts chuckled and opened his collection with a bottle opener. Although the 65-year-old red wine was a brand Jiang Chen had never seen before, the color alone was not ordinary.
"What a harsh comment."
Shaking his head, Roberts poured Jiang Chen a glass of his treasure.
The party after the party seemed a lot more deserted, with wine bottles, poker cards, and drug-related tinfoil all over the floor, reflecting the hustle and bustle of an hour ago.
Jiang Chen shook the wine glass and took a sip of the sour wine.
"Where's Nick?"
"Filming in Australia, it's a pity that he can't leave now, otherwise he would definitely not miss this party."
After speaking, Roberts took a sip of champagne, let out a long breath, squinted his eyes and stared at the night view of Los Angeles in the distance, and said to himself: "The first half of my life was deep in death, and the second half of my life was drunk and dreaming... This feeling is really fascinating. ."
"Have you not considered filming a biography of yourself?" Jiang Chen teased.
"This is a good idea!" Roberts raised his glass to Jiang Chen, grinned, and continued to look at the night view of Los Angeles. "I have a hunch that if my autobiography is compiled into a script, it will be like "The War of the Year". King". The box office and word-of-mouth are booming, and fame and fortune are both gained -"
"Maybe it will be a disaster." Jiang Chen chuckled.
"Don't be like this, man." Roberts glanced sideways at Jiang Chen and continued drinking.
Of course, he just thought about turning a personal biography into a movie, but it was definitely impossible to make it. Not to mention that it is impossible for him to write an autobiography at this age as he once helped sell arms to the White House. Even if he wanted to film it, FI would definitely not cooperate with him to smear himself.
Smearing the federal government is Hollywood blockbusters' political correctness, but there are some lines that can't be crossed. For example, Lawrence once planned to use IS to kill him and link the United States with terrorism. This is obviously not suitable for appearing on the big screen. Although the bureaucrats in black Washington are a common practice in Hollywood, they are so black that even the audience will not buy it.
Think about Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 991". Although he won the Palme d'Or at Cannes for killing George W. Bush, did he make any famous movies later? There are precedents for this.
"By the way, "Iron Curtain" that you collaborated with Warner Bros. will be released soon, right? How do you feel about it?"
"Please, I only participated in the production of virtual animation under Futureman Technology. It is impossible for me to even go to the site to see clearly such a trivial project." Jiang Chen spread his hands helplessly.
After hearing this, Roberts gave a fierce middle finger.
"Xie Te, in the words of your Chinese country, this is called pretending?"
"Your Chinese pronunciation is getting better and better." Jiang Chen teased.
"By the way, is there Miss Watson in any of your movies? She seems to be playing..." Roberts frowned, not thinking about it for a while.
"Vice Captain. Wait, don't attack my actors." Jiang Chen said.
"Xie Te! Am I that kind of person?" Roberts glanced at Jiang Chen. He had automatically classified Emma as the kind of woman with whom Jiang Chen had an unusual relationship. He leaned against the railing of the balcony, "It's just that I I've heard some bad rumors recently... After all, you invested 100 million in this movie, and I can't bear to watch my brother get cheated."
"What rumors?" Jiang Chen frowned slightly. (.)
