The "Harry Potter" movie has been released for more than a month, and the box office in North America is nearly 300 million US dollars. Of course, there must be a celebration banquet.

that night.

Various film and television celebrities, well-known directors, film and television company bosses...as long as they are famous and surnamed in Hollywood, one counts as one, as long as they have time, they basically all come.

Before and after, more than 200 invited guests came in person.

Bill McNick, the former CEO of 20th Century Fox Films and the former president of Wald Films, as a hero of Wald Films, as well as two films "Spiderman" and "Harry Potter" made outstanding contributions The retired old man, today, also came to the celebration banquet.

"Hey old man, how are you doing?"

As soon as Old Bill arrived at the scene, Zhu Ke put down everything at hand and arrived immediately, giving Old Bill a big bear hug.

Zhu Ke called me an "old guy" a lot in his mouth, which seemed a little disrespectful, but...as long as anyone in Wald Films knows the old and the young, the friendship is good.

"Thanks to you, I'm fine."

Old Bill laughed and said, "You don't know how happy I am now. Well, let me tell you this, I should have retired earlier."

Once upon a time, old Bill had to retire due to health and age factors, and he was extremely nostalgic. After all, this was the industry he had fought for decades.

He has said more than once: "Leaving this industry, I don't know how to live in the future?"

But now?

After retiring, he returned to his hometown in Texas, a small town called "Satsuma", and bought a small farm. On weekdays, he spent half his life with his wife, enjoying the best life in his later years.噺⒏⑴The full text of the text is the fastest んττρs:/м.χ八⑴zщ.còм/

"cowboy!"

"I wanted to be a cowboy when I was a child, but due to various reasons, I couldn't realize it. I don't want to, I am old, but I realized it."

"Every day I sleep until I wake up naturally, have breakfast, and visit the farm; in the afternoon, I go fishing by the small lake on the farm, and when I get excited, I take my beloved shotgun and go into the woods to shoot a few shots; at night, even more Cozy, I sit around the fire and chat with my wife about the past."

"Everything is so comfortable."

It has to be said that apart from being a little panicked when he just retired, Old Bill is now fully adapted to the retirement life. After all, his health has improved a lot, and he looks extremely energetic.

Zhu Ke heard old Bill's nagging, and he didn't feel bored at all. Instead, he nodded frequently, with a smile on his face all the time.

Kevin Feige, who was on the side, also smiled and said: "Boss, I just saw the photos that Mr. McNick sent me. There are herds of cattle and sheep on the pasture, countless golden corns on the farm, and a sight that cannot be seen at a glance. The soybeans at the end, and the fish and shrimps constantly jumping out of the fishing ground... I am also very yearning for this kind of life!"

 …

The celebration banquet hosted by Wald Films this time was not held in a hotel, but in a manor outside Los Angeles.

The name of the manor is Dedepage Manor!

It is Turner Dedepage, a well-known rich man in Los Angeles.

A manor with an area of ​​10 acres (about 40,000 square meters) built in 1982. It may not be the largest private estate in Los Angeles, and it may not even enter the top 20, but when it comes to the luxury of decoration, it is definitely second to none.

Dedepage Manor is a private manor that has never been opened to the public. This time it was used by Zhu Ke to hold a celebration banquet, which is entirely the reason why the rich man Turner Dedepage deliberately befriended Zhu Ke.

Without it, Dedepage wants to take a stake in Zucker's LinkedIn company.

"Lima, tell me, how about I buy this place?" Zhu Ke suddenly suggested.

"what?"

Lima was stunned and said, "Aren't you kidding?"

Zhu Ke spread his hands: "Do you think it's impossible?!"

"My God!" Lima immediately covered his mouth with his hands, and said in shock: "This is the Dedepage Manor! I heard that since the completion of the construction in 1982, as many as dozens of rich people in the United States have wanted to Bought it from Turner Dedepage and got rejected, and you got it!"

Hearing this, Zhu Ke laughed triumphantly.

No way, this is the embodiment of strength!

Zhu Ke is a bit stingy in his behavior, but he is not stingy at all in his own life. On the contrary, he is even a little... a little extravagant.

Whether it is after time travel, inheriting the property left by his deceased mother, or buying a $4.6 million Burbank villa in 1996, it cannot meet Zhu Ke's needs now.

Among other things, in terms of security alone, Zhu Ke needs a better and bigger manor!

The Dedepage Manor covers an area of ​​10 acres, with a variety of luxurious buildings and complete facilities. The overall value is not less than 60 million US dollars, which fully meets Zhu Ke's needs and a status symbol.

At the same time, it can also avoid the harassment of many media reporters!

"Originally, Turner proposed that he want to give up the manor, and I hesitated, but seeing that you like this place so much, why should I hesitate?" Zhu Ke hugged Lima.

Lima nodded like a pounding garlic: "It's really good here."

A manor worth 60 million US dollars may need to be considered if it is replaced by many rich people, but when it comes to Zhu Ke, it is just a drop in the bucket. What's more, Dedepage Manor is so beautiful.

"It means that the delivery date of my yacht has not yet arrived, otherwise we can go out to sea for fun." Zhu Ke said suddenly.

you do not say!

The tens of millions of dollars worth of yachts purchased by Zhu Ke will not be delivered until around the middle of 2001.

at the same time......

While Zhu Ke and Lima were whispering, Kevin Fitch, the new president of Walter Films, became the target of many invited guests for a while.

"Kevin, I've heard that this year, Wald Films is going to make a big move! Good guy, it's only the first half of the year. In addition to the films being filmed in "District 9" and "The Devil Wears Prada," there are still A number of new films have been established.”

Touchstone Pictures president Vicky Williams said.

"That's right, I've heard that too!"

Jordan, vice president of Paramount Pictures, said: "Mark's movie called "Rage Attacks", I was also interested in taking over, but that guy Mark wanted to be the director himself, so I gave up. However, I didn't expect that you, Wald Films, have the courage to vote for a $12 million movie. Tsk tsk tsk~"

At the same time, in a part of the manor, many Hollywood actors were chatting enthusiastically.

Key words: "Furious", "Fast and Furious".

Today, the two films have been approved by Wald Films one after another, the script preparation has been completed, and the selection of actors is about to start, so many Hollywood agencies and actors are eyeing it.

"Wald Films in 2000 was quite beautiful. If possible, I would certainly like to participate."

The person who said this was Tom Cruise, one of the most popular actors in Hollywood.

The voice just fell.

Two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks laughed: "Whether it is "Furious" or "Fast and Furious", the production cost of these two films failed to exceed 40 million US dollars. You Tom Cruise as the actor Lead roles are going to be paid at least $15 million. So, do you think you have a chance?"

Tom Cruise smiled awkwardly.

However......

Actors such as Joaquin Knicks, Matt Damon, Paul Walker, etc., were moved in their hearts.
