Chapter 1623 Vanity Fair Dinner

The current Oscar awards ceremony has not yet reached the point where it will be entertaining to death in the future.

In the future, it usually takes more than four hours, and even five hours.

The Oscar awards ceremony in the 1980s usually lasted just over three hours.

When the award ceremony ended, it was only a little after 10 o'clock.

This year is different from previous years. Before attending the Oscars, many Hollywood executives, producers, directors and stars were invited to attend a party called the "Vanity Fair Oscar Dinner" after the awards ceremony.

Everyone knows that "Vanity Fair" is a popular daily life magazine that has been very popular in the past year.

The proprietor behind it is the North American branch of the Kirin Group, the largest company in Hollywood.

Each person who is invited has a beautiful card with the name of the invitee, the address and time of the banquet written on it.

Of course, the time is right after the Oscars.

The location is not far from here, otherwise no one would want to travel across mountains and rivers to attend a dinner party.

Moreover, "Vanity Fair" specially sent dozens of high-end cars to pick up and drop off every past guest.

This seems very considerate, and you won't have to drive yourself or ask the car to go there again.

However, even though Vanity Fair is so careful and sincere, it is still not enough.

Not enough portion.

Ordinary celebrities may be willing to participate and see if there are any job opportunities and whether they can make some friends.

But those big directors and company executives would not attend any kind of show-off dinner, especially now that they have worked hard for several hours and they just want to rest.

So Graydon Carter greeted Tang Shuxuan in advance and asked Tang Shuxuan to mention it to the senior executives of major companies and major directors and send out invitations.

Tang Shuxuan's face was naturally given to everyone, so these big guys agreed to go as long as there was no urgent matter.

Then Graydon Carter released this information.

After hearing that so many big names in the industry were coming to this Vanity Fair dinner, the celebrities naturally would not miss this opportunity to expand their network, so they readily agreed without saying anything.

Finally, the models with better reputations and better looks were allowed to attend the dinner as vases at the dinner.

With so many people from various entertainment circles participating, Vanity Fair's basic venue is now there.

In other words, the tone and grade are set.

At least that's how it was the first time.

As for whether it can be as grand as this time in the future, it depends on the ability of Graydon Carter.

Yin Jun is not worried at all about this.

Because the previous life Graydon Carter held the Vanity Fair dinner party as the first dinner party in Hollywood, and the brand value directly exceeded 500 million US dollars.

Since it was the first Vanity Fair dinner held, Yin Jun naturally wanted to attend. Even if he failed to win the Oscar for Best Director that he hoped for, as the host, he should still show up to say hello.

After all, many people came just for his sake.

This is also true.

When Lin Qingxia took Yin Jun's hand and walked into the banquet hall of Vanity Fair, within a few minutes, Yin Jun was pulled into one circle after another to talk about things.

In addition to those who seize the opportunity to say hello to Yin Jun, those who can talk to Yin Jun are of course people of the same status.

At least they are at the level of presidents of major companies, as well as gold medal producers, super directors, and Yin Jun's friends in Hollywood, so they can talk to Yin Jun more.

In order to cope with them, Yin Jun even drank a few more glasses of water, but he still felt thirsty.

While drinking water, the young man looked at the gorgeous female stars in the field.

Most of them have changed their outfits, replacing the complicated and gorgeous clothes they wore on the red carpet with simpler short skirts or floral skirts.

At this time, many of them were holding drinks and drinking while talking with others.

As a person in the industry, Yin Jun certainly knew that the somewhat unbelievable rumors that they heard when they attended various award ceremonies were all true.

For example, not eating for a week or two in advance just so that you can wear thinner and better-looking clothes.

For example, they will not drink any water the day before, and at most they will only use cotton dipped in water to wipe it on their lips.

This is to prevent trips to the toilet.

It doesn't matter if you go to the toilet, but the problem is how to restore the clothes and costumes that took several hours to put on?

Where do you have so much time to wait for you to pick up your skirt and put it on?

So just do it like this, don't even drink water, so there won't be any accidents.

Speaking of which, the Vanity Fair dinner gave them an opportunity to replenish water and eat something, so as not to have to directly inject fluids to replenish nutrition after returning.

Lin Qingxia is not so pretentious.

After arriving in Los Angeles last night, although I didn't eat anything, I still had breakfast this morning, and the dress I wore was not too cumbersome.

Yin Jun likes his women to be more natural. If she is the kind of woman who constantly undergoes plastic surgery and loses weight for the sake of beauty, that is really not good.

Just like Sister Qingxia who came out to do variety shows in her sixties, although the wrinkles have crawled onto her face and her figure is no longer graceful, the charm emanating from within is still very admirable.

…

"Ajun, which beauty are you looking at?"

Suddenly, someone tapped Yin Jun on the shoulder.

When the boy turned around, he saw a familiar middle-aged face.

"Summer, long time no see!" Yin Jun put down the water glass and hugged him.

"It's just us. Every time I come to Los Angeles, I will visit Teresa." The middle-aged man said with a smile, "Your daughter is very beautiful. When she grows up, she will be as outstanding as her mother!"

"Thank you!" Yin Jun smiled happily.

Whenever someone talks about Qingqing, he can't help but be happy.

The little girl is already one and a half years old. This time Yin Jun comes over, she can already call her daddy.

Although it was a bit unfamiliar in the first day or two, it has now developed to the point where she will cry and look for Yin Jun if she doesn't see him for a while.

It is said that a daughter is her father's little cotton-padded jacket, and only now did Yin Jun realize the meaning of happiness.

For the sake of Qingqing, Yin Jun wondered whether he should speed up the construction of network technology and create the necessary conditions for national video calls 20 years in advance.

In this way, he can video chat with his daughter every day and watch her appearance.

Deng Lijun usually doesn't meet outsiders. This middle-aged man can go to the house frequently, so naturally he is not an outsider.

The person who came was none other than Lei Shidong, who was rescued from the hotel by Yin Jun together with Deng Lijun during the fire.

Speaking of which, Lei Shidong is also very lucky. Not only did he not lose an arm, but he got involved in the Kirin Group's line. In the past two years, he has been doing well in the theater chain.

As Kirin Group's largest partner on the East Coast, Redstone's National Entertainment Company theater chain has more than 1,300 cinemas so far, and the number of available screens has reached more than 3,000, making it the fifth largest cinema in the United States. Line.

More importantly, Redstone's theater chain has formed its own network in big cities such as New York. It has comprehensive coverage, not the kind of screens that rely on small cities and towns to make up the numbers.

And his own wealth has also surged in the past few years. At the beginning of this year, a newspaper disclosed that Redstone has a wealth of approximately US$2 billion.

That is, in the second half of last year, he wholly acquired an entertainment company named Viacom.

Redstone thought the name was cool, so his own company also changed its name to Viacom Group.

In general, this old friend is now in a happy mood and his development is much smoother than in his previous life.

The emergence of Viacom Group was also three years ahead of schedule.

"I'm going to discuss something with you." Red Stone pulled Yin Jun aside, "What do you think of me acquiring one of Hollywood's top seven?"

"Um?"

Yin Jun was stunned.

I subconsciously realized that Redstone wanted to acquire Paramount.

But isn’t this what was supposed to happen in 1993?

It’s only 1984!

He only acquired Viacom last year, and his assets were only US$2 billion. How could he be qualified to acquire Paramount?

In 1993, Redstone spent US$8.2 billion to acquire Paramount in good faith!

Even now in 1984, Paramount is not as valuable as it was later, but at least 3 billion US dollars is necessary, and maybe 4 billion US dollars.

If Redstone wanted to acquire such a large giant company, it would be like a snake swallowing an elephant.

It is conceivable how much financial pressure he will bear by then.

Seeing that Yin Jun was surprised, Lei Shidong smiled proudly and said, "This is something I have already planned for a long time. It just so happens that I have an opportunity now, so I came to you to discuss it."

"Isn't it too early now?" Yin Jun frowned, "After all, it is such a huge company and its business conditions are so good..."

"The operating condition is good?" Redstone said in surprise, "How could it be? Under Kerkorian's troubles, MGM's operating condition is so bad that it has seriously devalued!"

"MGM?" Yin Jun was stunned again.

"What? Which company do you think it is?" Only then did Lei Shidong realize that they were not talking about the same company.

"I thought you wanted to buy Paramount." Yin Jun spread his hands.

"Paramount?" Redstone smiled bitterly, "I want to buy it, but do I have the money? Only the price of MGM is more suitable. For this, I want to ask you to help me with the loan, and then I use The shares are pledged!”

"Buying MGM is not a good idea." Yin Jun shook his head immediately, "Believe me, Summer, MGM is a trap. If you go in, you won't be able to get up!"

Seeing Yin Jun say so seriously, the look on Lei Shidong's face,
