Chicago 1990

Chapter 1451 After the Painting Starts

"Everybody!"

The first day of The Wolf of Wall Street's box office was a big success. The happiest thing is the male protagonist Nicolas Cage. After his epic defeat of MGM's Windtalker, he immediately made a comeback with this movie, proving once again that With the box office appeal of the 20 million club's top movie stars, he was very excited to hold a celebration banquet at his mansion in the evening.

Coincidentally, the big boss APLUS, who is known for his boring and plain parties, is not here, and everyone flocks here. The carnival party at Nicolas Cage’s house has always been well-known. All the wine and food are the best, and it’s fun to play. It’s no better than Wall Street The kind of bad performance in the wolf movie.

Moreover, the tricks played by the so-called elites on Wall Street have not learned from Hollywood.

Nicolas Cage drank the wine, and then jumped on the table frantically, and drew the attention of the audience to himself with a loud roar, "clang, clang, clang, clang..." He hummed the melody to the live band, with both hands Hit the beat to indicate.

The band made several adjustments under his command, and when the fast-paced dance music flowed from his heart, he was finally satisfied, raised his arms high like a king, and shouted to the guests again: "It's show time !"

"Hahaha!"

The handsome men and women laughed and followed the beat, and danced jig in pairs.

Nicolas Cage, who managed to stir up the atmosphere, jumped off the table, hugged his girlfriend Lisa Presley, who was already preparing for the wedding, MJ's ex-wife and Elvis Presley's daughter, and walked towards their social circle.

"Congratulations, Nick, Lisa..."

Elites in suits and leather shoes surrounded the two of them.

"Look... is this the power of 20 million male stars?"

A handsome white man watched this scene from a distance, his eyes were full of undisguised envy, his face was pale and handsome, and he possessed a unique vampire-like dangerous and decadent bad masculinity.

Huge manor houses, beautiful banquet halls, fine wine, music, food, and expensive clothes and jewelry worn by men and women...

He looked at everything around him, as if he saw money flowing. What he saw and heard, the glitz and luxury of Hollywood permeated his eyes and nostrils together with the mixed smell of alcohol, perfume, sweat and tobacco. Can't say no.

"I will have all this in the future, you just wait and see.

He stared at the backs of the flamboyant Nicolas Cage and the daughter of Elvis Presley, secretly motivating himself.

"Stuart, we're going over there."

The amphibious black actress Aaliyah who came together held the arm of her boyfriend Damon Dash, greeted him and walked towards the African-American social circle of the new actress Halle Berry and the famous director Spike Lee.

"OK, please."

Stewart Townsend, an actor from the UK who went to Mimi to develop, has gained fame in Hollywood with the vampire queen co-starring with Aaliyah, which was released a few months ago, and the development momentum is very good.

He knows that in Hollywood, his connections are flawed. He was born in the East End of London, but as an Irishman, he has a mediocre relationship with the British gang, and his agent is not strong enough. Obviously, after saying goodbye to the two friends in a personable manner, he was suddenly alone.

His eyes accidentally met with the actress Liv Tyler who was passing by. He greeted with a smile, and then lowered his head to cover up the hatred in his eyes. The two of them successfully auditioned for an important role in Lord of the Rings. Qian's beloved daughter of a rock star, and she rehearsed hard for two months, but had to change roles the day before shooting.

The Emperor Aragorn, the good character who instinctively made him soar into the sky, was replaced by the Danish actor Viggo Moweisen who was 20 years older than himself...

Until now, he didn't know the real reason for being replaced!

This year's career development is going well, and it's time to take the opportunity to establish contacts in Hollywood's upper class, and he vowed to use all means to gain profits.

"Hi, Stuart...alone?"

When the Hollywood party girls saw the handsome movie star who was left alone, they immediately took the initiative to attack, and surrounded them like prey to make poses.

"Uh, my friend is over there, sorry."

He is not interested in these things, not that the other party is not beautiful enough, usually it is no problem to play a friendly match, but not today, Nicolas Cage's house is full of Hollywood celebrities, bigwigs and superstars at this time, time cannot be wasted.

The target was quickly locked, Charlize Theron dancing with Keanu Reeves in the center of the banquet hall.

Charis and himself got acquainted when their careers were still in a downturn. Stuart Townsend knew very well that she and Keanu Reeves were only friends and were currently single.

Charis has been very resourceful in the past two years. Fifty Shades of Grey has made her become the number one porn star in Hollywood. The heroine of The Wolf of Wall Street, who started painting today, maintains the characteristics of her revealing drama, and her acting skills seem to be excellent. At the beginning, it was well received, and it opened a broad road for breaking away from the porn star transformation and hitting a higher goal...

South African diamonds are dazzling, and the resources are so good that Hollywood is jealous. She is in the period when her career is rising and she can do whatever she wants. She laughs and twists her body without any scruples. Floating towards her, the woman glanced at her long legs enviously and jealously, and was undoubtedly the focus of the audience.

this leg...

As expected of a tall horse, Stuart Townsend swallowed subconsciously, recalling the scene she saw in The Wolf of Wall Street just now. She was sitting on the floor, with one long leg arched under the miniskirt, and the other kneeling against her knees and crawling over. The forehead of Nicolas Cage is simply the best in the world that can arouse every man's original desire.

Stuart Townsend is no exception. He also understands his own advantages. When interacting with Charis in the past, the two sides were a little ambiguous. He knows very well that the other party does not hate him.

Although Charis is a member of Hollywood's A+ gang, it is rumored that there are so many resources because of the black pharaoh standing behind her, but Stuart Townsend doesn't mind. It would be better if it is true. , Little Lizi, and Leto didn't rely on APLUS to get their roles. If you can use this woman to become a member of the A+ gang, how many years of struggle will be saved...it's worth it.

"call!"

After dancing to the song, Charis was very happy, and kept fanning her face with her hands, "It's so hot."

"Hey, Charis."

He made up his mind, took two glasses of champagne from the waiter's plate and walked over, "Long time no see, last time was the Oscar dinner, right?"

"Ha yes! Long time no see Stuart! Thank you... Let me introduce you."

As expected, Charis warmly gave her a big hug, then took a sip from the wine glass he handed her, and helped introduce Keanu by the way.

"Hello."

Keanu has always been a gentleman, but he has no obligation to protect the flowers. After a brief exchange, he watched Stuart Townsend follow Charis, who was going to rest, and let the two continue to communicate.

"Congratulations, great performance."

Standing side by side with Charis against the wall of the banquet hall, Stuart Townsend took out a clean handkerchief and handed it over thoughtfully.

"Thank you." Charis wiped the fine sweat off her face, "How are you?"

"It's okay, after the announcement of the Vampire Queen, I'm auditioning for other roles. Cough..."

Stuart Townsend took the handkerchief she handed back, pretended to cough, covered the handkerchief in front of his mouth, took a deep breath, gazed affectionately at the other party, and crazily discharged, "Congratulations, the performance in The Wolf of Wall Street very exciting."

This action might look quite wretched when done by other men, but he is very confident in his vampire-like evil temperament, and the same action has different effects from different people.

"Well……"

But it seems to be ineffective for Charis, the smile on the face of this stunner full of Monroe temperament under the blonde hair is slightly retracted, and the upper body is slightly moved away, "To be honest, discussing this movie with men will always make people feel Kind of embarrassing, those revealing shots... for real! I wish they would cut it, it always ends up being kept..."

"For art."

Stewart Townsend, who has rich experience in chasing women, was not discouraged. He propped his elbows against the wall, turned his body sideways and continued to press forward. Women would always subconsciously resist at first, but they would soon fall under their own offensive.

Of course, be strategic, "You're gorgeous, Charlize, but not only that, you're also a great actor, but you're always overlooked, that scene where you wrestle with Nicolas Cage, the emotional outburst Just right..."

Being praised for her acting skills scratched Charis's itching spot, "Hey!" This was also her sore spot, and she immediately sighed, "But now people are always bound by the stereotype of me, I have observed that those men in the movie theater When I saw me on stage, I just waited for the cool picture... There was nothing else in my mind."

"They're all vulgar fellows." Stewart Townsend climbed the pole.

"right."

"You will also win the Best Actress, I am absolutely sure that I will see that day."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"That's not a compliment."

When discussing performances, the two shared a lot of common language. Stewart Townsend, who was born in a major, was flattering and gave very good advice. Charis quickly let go of her newly raised guard and giggled.

After finishing all the wine in his hand, Stuart Townsend felt that it was almost time when he saw the rosiness on the opponent's cheeks. He drew closer again, almost nose-to-nose.

"Well……"

Unexpectedly, Charis escaped again, and the other party's motive was clear, "Daniel!" She immediately found an excuse to escape.

Stuart Townsend felt a burst of disappointment in his heart, watching the prey's high heels kicking towards Daniel, the president of Glass Films.

So it was Daniel Glass who was covering her inside the A+ gang?

Stuart Townsend thought with great regret in his heart that Daniel Glass's power in Hollywood is very average, and he has been on the decline since the Cold Mountain project's Oscar, but his other identity: the Bole who discovered the black pharaoh, so that he can still barely Stand firm as a second-tier tycoon.

"Don't come, don't come."

But my guess seems to be wrong? When Daniel saw Charis trot approaching, he waved his hand to stop him, and ruthlessly left the popular actress in place.

"Take another photo!"

Daniel belongs to another social circle. Beside him, Stuart Townsend also saw Harvey Weinstein, David Geffen, the Catherines, Linton and other Hollywood bigwigs. A middle-aged Caucasian supporting actor in the movie surrounded them and took turns taking group photos.

The unnamed supporting actor was flattered by the domineering hug of the shoulders by the big fat Harvey. He smiled at the camera cautiously, and obediently cooperated with all the photo requests like a goose.

"Hahaha!" Harvey laughed until his eyes narrowed.

Charis waited in embarrassment for a while, seeing that it would not be over for a while, so she had to go to Xue Linfen and Yeremov who were chatting in the corner.

Xue Linfen seemed to have noticed her interaction with Charis just now, and after chatting with Charis, the former porn star looked at her with a warning tone.

It's quite boring, Stuart Townsend knows that this woman can become a well-known producer and enjoy the scenery in Hollywood just by giving birth to a few children for the black pharaoh, "Hehe..." and give me a face? Don't you know what Hollywood people think of you behind your back? It's just Baby mama, Stuart Townsend sneered in his heart.

But he also knew that this woman couldn't be offended by himself, so he had no choice but to give up chasing Charis and turned around to look for the next target.

"In the past, few people in Hollywood were optimistic about the Lord of the Rings project. Harvey failed to seek investment from Disney, so he had to sit back and watch it be taken over by New Line Films, so this embroidered pillow was half-hearted at the beginning. Two months of high-intensity training in New Zealand, often deserting and being fired by the crew... Later, Lord of the Rings became a hit, but there is no regret in this world."

Stuart Townsend didn't hear how Yeremov described himself to Charis behind his back, and went around and returned to his acquaintance Arya.

"Yes, our sales of Chivas Regal in the United States have been falling... I don't know, it's not easy to deal with... I don't care much about the Chivas Regal department, and I have been watching the new champagne products in France... Well, I have to ask the boss. I still need At least two to three years, because it needs to be aged to the required age."

Aaliyah's boyfriend Damon Dash is a black elite with five people and six people. He is facing the actor Denzel Washington, the actress Halle Berry, the famous director Spike Lee, the singer Jazzy, Destiny's Child and others. wine business.

But no matter how much he brags, Aaliyah, who is sweetly holding his arm, undoubtedly earns much more than him. Both music and film have developed very well, and the Matrix 2 that she participated in will be released soon.

And he alluded to the boss of APLUS one by one, and one mouthful of tall French champagne. After talking so much, Stuart Townsend didn't understand his specific position in the Sanse Wine Group. It's nothing more than the seniors who have successfully enjoyed a soft meal. Even the photos posted on the blog showing off with Aaliyah on a private plane are all from the APLUS 737.

"Hey, have you seen Mr. APLUS?"

He was hiding and listening while looking for the target. At this time, Elisa Cuthbert, the female partner of The Wolf of Wall Street, also came over and asked anxiously.

"He's still in Asia." Actress Halle replied.

APLUS, APLUS, Black Pharaoh is absent but seems to be everywhere. Stuart Townsend can't help but recall what he saw at the Vanity Fair Oscar dinner a few months ago.

"Where's Mr. APLUS?"

It was also such a luxurious occasion, and I was with Aaliyah and the others, and it was Eliza Cuthbert who came to ask this question.

"Hey hey..."

Aaliyah's boyfriend Damon Dash immediately smirked, "Harry just won the best actress, they usually gather first to celebrate, wait, they will come after a while."

"Why didn't I see Mr. APLUS..."

"Have you seen Mr. APLUS?"

Then there were actresses who came to ask one after another, and only Stuart Townsend could recognize, there were blonde actress Melissa Georgie, Brittany Murphy, young horror film professional Angelina Ake, veteran European actress Nata Shakinsky, there are some familiar ones but I can't name them, such as the model ex-girlfriend of a certain Brazilian star, oh yes, one of them seems to be called Alan Pompeo or something.

"What about him?" Charis also appeared.

APLUS, APLUS, everyone is asking where is APLUS, produced by A+ Entertainment, and the Requiem for a Dream released by Disney Budweiser Pictures has swept the actresses and concubines in one fell swoop this year, which is too shocking and tempting for Hollywood actresses up.

"Can't you just ask Xuelin?" Alia was overwhelmed.

"Forget it, wait." Charis blended in and didn't go to Xue Linfen.

Stuart Townsend took the opportunity to reconnect with her, and after chatting for a few words, Alia pointed to the entrance, "APLUS is here."

The black pharaoh hugged his girlfriend Amy, and beside him was the new actress Harley. He smiled and socialized with the big Hollywood figures who greeted him in the past, showing the aura of a big winner.

"Um!"

Charis immediately ignored the socializing, hurriedly returned the wine glass to the waiter, and trotted over.

Stewart Townsend observed that the same is true of other actresses, either moving slowly towards the side while socializing reservedly, or swaying and rushing straight to the king of pop, Hollywood tycoon and top rich man.

At the Vanity Fair dinner, there was a surge of people centered on APLUS.

Hayden, the big manager of William Morris, and Yeremov, the CEO of A+ Entertainment, helped maintain order on the outside. Pharaoh's arms, in front of his girlfriend Amy Adams sent a kiss.

Is this the taste of power? Stuart Townsend was jealous and envious, and his desire to join the A+ gang became stronger.

"APLUS."

At this time, Charis' voice rang in his ears again, interrupting his memory.

He subconsciously looked towards the door, but APLUS did not appear. Charis, Xue Linfen, and Yeremov came over together, and their expressions became a little serious.

"Looking for me?" Aaliyah doubtfully took the mobile phone handed over by Xue Linfen.

"Yes."

"Yo, APLUS." Aaliyah treated him more normally, but as she spoke, her expression gradually dimmed and her voice became lower and lower. Finally, she pressed the hands-free button of the mobile phone so that everyone could listen to him. To the voice of APLUS.

"In short, let's be consistent with Aaliyah. No matter what choice she makes, we will support her. This is the safest way and the least public relations pressure."

APLUS's highly recognizable voice came to everyone's ears, and Stuart Townsend was a little confused.

"OK."

But everyone seemed to accept the order, and they all agreed, and Xue Linfen took back her mobile phone and hung up.

"What's wrong?" Stuart Townsend asked Charis.

Charis shook her head without answering.

"Is it convenient?" Yeremov came forward to chase people away.

"Oh, of course."

Stuart Townsend had no choice but to leave the circle with his back. He looked back frequently, and the group of people, mainly black, were chatting nervously around Aaliyah.

"Looks like something happened to Aaliyah's ex-boyfriend R Kelly."

Gradually, the news spread in the banquet hall. The rhythm and blues king R Kelly was exposed to a video tape with an underage girl. His hobby has long been heard in the circle. When he and Alia tried to marry, Alia Ya was underage, and it was said that she moved from the Midwest to New York to avoid R Kelly's harassment, and entered Hollywood to develop her career.

No wonder APLUS ordered the entire A+ gang to stand with Aaliyah, as R Kelly's ex-girlfriend and victim, she will soon be drawn into the center of the storm of this scandal.

It's none of his business, Stuart Townsend quickly found a new soft meal target, the top socialite Paris Hilton who just came to Hollywood to develop.

"Sorry, there was an accident just now."

Xiangjiang, in a presidential suite overlooking the beautiful scenery of Victoria Harbour, Song Ya, who was hiding in the room, made a phone call to settle this trivial matter, and then went out to continue entertaining an unexpected guest: Edison, the boss of Deutsche Bank's global investment department. "Where were we, Mr. Addison?"

"Mesir can't take it anymore, he has to step down this month."

Met by chance at Xiangjiang Airport and then took the initiative to visit, Edison is no longer as strong as before, "My department must cooperate with Goldman Sachs and the others to start the self-rescue work for Vivendi Universal Group after the French crook left. APLUS, we can do without Worried about you?"

After Vivendi Universal released a huge loss of 23 billion euros in April, it was immediately downgraded by rating agencies. At present, major agencies have given junk ratings, and the stock price has collapsed like AOL Time Warner and WorldCom. But the performance is slightly better. The current market value is only less than 20 billion euros. Poor little Bronfman, his net worth is still shrinking.

This loss set a record in France, and the French government was furious. American investors and institutions such as Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs, who thought they would buy at a low price when they went to Mi for listing, also rioted.

"Will he go to jail?"

Song Ya didn't have a direct dialogue. He knows that Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs are worried that they will repeat the scene of short-selling and sniping. This time they must keep their investment in Vivendi Global, and they will no longer be comrades in the same trench.

"Of course we want to send him in, but he has deep connections in the French political and business circles, which is not important now." Addison replied.

"I can't give you an answer, Mr. Edison, you failed to keep your promise to me before."

Song Ya doesn't have the guts to participate anymore, it would be fun to invest money in it and be declared bankrupt by Vivendi Universal, but she must show her attitude in front of people like Edison.

"Come on, this has nothing to do with Deutsche Bank. I don't know how you and Paulson agreed, and I don't know what happened between you, but it is obvious that Goldman Sachs deceived you."

Edison knew the rumors that the other party made a movie that disgusted Paulson, but he didn't have time to watch The Wolf of Wall Street, but he can imagine how big the feud between the two sides is. His ally Paulson undoubtedly pitted the black pharaoh. .

"You are in the same group." Song Ya said coldly.

"God, no, no, okay?"

This is unfair. There is competition as well as cooperation between investment banks. Edison argued: "Our Deutsche Bank also suffered heavy losses in this round of rice stock market crash. I can’t wait for Paulson to die. But I still have to hold my nose and fish for Vivendi Universal with him. We were all cheated by Messier in this matter!”

"I'm just an outsider."

"You just bought a New Jersey bank and you're getting your investment banking license early next year, right?"

Deutsche Bank is well-informed, and Edison is mainly worried about this, otherwise he would not be so patient today, even if the person in front of him is the youngest self-made billionaire, the top 50 big shots in the world's richest list. After all, the amount of funds that can be mobilized, the black pharaoh can never be worth a fraction of his own.

But the Deutsche Bank's stall was too big, and in a battle-scale competition, he had to guard against a cash-rich lone ranger like the Black Pharaoh suddenly disrupting the situation.

"Yes, but because of this, I won't take the big gamble of last time, the lessons learned from the closing of the Tiger Fund..."

Song Ya replied.

"Is this your promise?"

"So that's the problem. You won't fully believe what I say, and I can't believe a word of what you say."

The trust between the two parties was long gone, Song Ya shrugged.

Edison looked at the back of this mixed-race young man standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and suddenly felt that this world was a little unreal. As the boss of the Deutsche Bank Merrill Lynch Gang, but now he came to Xiangjiang in person, he still had to worry about the attitude of the other party. and follow-up.

Because after the matter of Vivendi Universal is resolved, he intends to fight Goldman Sachs to avenge the betrayal of the rice stock by the other party, and now he must unite everyone who can unite.

"In short, let's make an agreement first. If you keep your distance from Vivendi Universal during this period, we will give you some rewards for the bailout during the asset sale stage." But things still have to be done, Edison promised: "Of course It's a verbal promise, so it's up to you to believe it or not."

"OK, that's fine."

Song Ya thought for a while and finally agreed, "But I don't have high expectations, and Goldman Sachs probably won't cooperate."

"Go and borrow a copy of The Wolf of Wall Street."

Edison let go of some of his worries, and hurriedly set off from Xiangjiang to New York. The long journey was exhausting, but he saw the poster of The Wolf of Wall Street at the airport, so he decided to see it immediately.

"Hahaha!"

Unexpectedly, all the subordinates who picked up the plane laughed, and they obviously had already gone to see it.

"a ha ha ha!"

When he and the Jewish men of the Merrill Lynch gang saw an actor who looked like Paulson appear in the movie room of the mansion, they started laughing wildly.

"Are you used to solving it yourself?" 'Paulson' asked Nicolas Cage in the restaurant.

"What? I...Of course...Occasionally I will solve it by myself." Nicolas Cage's expression was absolutely perfect.

"How many times a week?"

"Three...four times...sometimes five times."

"You need to fuck more, in our line of work, you are too rookie this time, I myself...at least twice a day..."

'Paulson' calmly counted on his fingers: "I post it after working out in the morning, and post it after lunch..."

"a ha ha ha!"

Edison laughed so hard that tears flowed out, he leaned forward and back, and almost lost his breath, this is so fucking relieved!

In mid-July, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act was passed by the Senate with a vote of 97 to 0. Messier resigned in France on the same day. The investment bank immediately organized a meeting on Wall Street.

Paulson was the host, and he was the last one to arrive. When he hurried in with the documents between his hands, and before he could put them down, Edison and the other bankers who were fighting each other, acted in unison for the first time in their lives. Everyone buried their heads in the air, trying to hold back their laughter.

Paulson naturally knew what they were laughing at, and sat down with humiliation, blinking his eyes, "Okay, okay, we have this meeting today to discuss Weiwang..."

"puff!"

Edison looked at him, but his mind was full of the restaurant scene of The Wolf of Wall Street, and he couldn't help it.

The order in the meeting room suddenly lost control, and there was a lot of snickering.

Paulson raised his eyelids and looked at him coldly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The relationship between the two parties is already very bad, and Edison is not in vain.

Far away in Alaska, Cassity’s former boss, Sarah Palin, and her husband just finished watching this movie, “Wall Street is so ugly! Goldman Sachs, Enron, Arthur Andersen, WorldCom, they are in collusion with each other, if this continues, they will destroy the United States !"

Sarah Palin, who just lost the election and announced her withdrawal from the governor's race, was in a bad mood. After watching this movie, she panicked even more, "We must do something to stop them!"

"What?" her husband asked.

"Launch a movement! A bottom-up spontaneous movement just like the previous Tea Party!" Sarah Palin resolutely said.
