Chapter 638 [Little Versailles, a Carefree Rich Man]

In August, Scarlett Johansson's "Iron Man 2" was completed.

In Yang Rui's previous life, in order to prepare for the role of "Black Widow", Scarlett received 6 weeks of special training before shooting the main scenes, and then spent a full 6 months filming the movie. Excluding her scenes, the film's principal photography took only 71 working days.

In this life, Scarlett was able to perform slaps with ease, and the crew was dumbfounded.

Yang Rui and his bodyguard drove some of Scarlett's belongings home from the set. Scarlett started teasing her on the way, feeling a little confused and infatuated. Stana went back to Chicago to visit relatives, Nina is filming "The Twilight Saga 3", and she is preparing to fight Three Hundred tonight.

As soon as the two entered the bedroom, Scarlett wanted to take the initiative, but Yang Rui jumped back, assuming the posture of Once Upon a Time. "Wait a minute."

"What?" Scarlett squinted her eyes and raised her head. She is only 160cm tall, but she has a lot of aura and looks like a queen.

Yang Rui swallowed and spit. "Let's talk about it first. Let's be normal this time. You are a big star."

"Hey, I'm the Black Widow." Scarlett licked her tongue. She liked this nickname, which made Yang Rui quite speechless.

"I let you know before, but today I will let you know that in thirty years in the east of Hedong and in thirty years in the west of Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty."

Yang Rui said the killer line "Don't bully young people who are poor", and his momentum soared! If he is wearing a ring on his hand now, the "grandpa" in the ring will wake up tonight and help him become a peerless master who can fly into the sky and escape from the earth.

Then, Scarlett rushed over, she jumped up, and she clamped Yang Rui's neck...

The whole process lasted only 3 seconds, and Yang Rui was pressed on the bed. "Gonna die! Gonna die! Gonna die!"

It was inevitable that this househusband would be weak, and he had to finish the sex appointment with tears in his eyes.

Since the door crash incident, Yang Rui and Scarlett had a cold war for a while. After such a long time, Scarlett's enthusiasm was not something he could bear.

The next day, Yang Rui woke up and found that he could no longer move his neck and his waist hurt so much that it was difficult to get out of bed.

He called a female private doctor to come to his home and concluded that his neck was bruised and his waist was not a major problem, but he was just a little weak.

The female doctor looked at the two of them with strange eyes and sighed: "I won't go out and talk nonsense, but you have to be restrained. I have heard of someone who accidentally sprained the knee ligament. Injury at that location will be more troublesome."

"Well, if I get injured in that position, I will definitely come to you." Yang Rui replied casually.

Scarlett gave Yang Rui a slap on the back. It wasn't hard, but he grinned in pain as he had just put on protective gear on his neck. "I'm just kidding, please introduce me to a male doctor then..."

After the doctor left, Scarlett burst into laughter.

Yang Rui stiffened his neck and kept his head motionless. Just like Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West", he continued to speak harshly: "Don't laugh. If I don't let you, do you think you can beat me?"

"Are you awesome?"

"Even now, I can deal with you. Look, this is my domain." Yang Rui raised his arms, stiffened his neck, and waved slowly from side to side a few times.

Scarlett laughed, threw herself on the bed and banged her fist on the bed.

Yang Rui sighed helplessly. If he and Fatty Scarlett weren't so close, he wouldn't be able to enjoy this kind of perverted sadomasochism.

After being raised at home for a few days, Yang Rui's neck and waist were healed. When Thomas Bentley returned to Los Angeles, Yang Rui announced a new plan - buying a house!

From 2006 to 2009, Los Angeles real estate prices had fallen deeply, but Yang Rui remembers clearly that after that, housing prices stabilized and continued to rise from 2013 to 2017. Not only did housing prices return to before 2006, they also continued to increase.

The manor house that Yang Rui is interested in is called "Flower of Leith". It is located on 5 hectares of land and covers an area of ​​4,645 square meters. It has 12 bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, a ballroom, a kitchen, a large private cinema, a swimming pool, and a basketball court. , tennis courts are all available.

The person who sold the house was named Susan Saperstein.

He and his ex-husband, Texas tycoon David Saperstein, hired someone to customize the Versailles-style villa in 2002. All the furniture and decorations inside are French 18th-century antique collections. The most attractive thing is The ballroom is magnificent, with arches decorated with mirrors. The design is inspired by the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles.

"Vanity Fair" magazine and many mainstream magazines in Europe and the United States have reported on the "Flower of Leith" and praised it: "If you don't turn on the lights and light candles when night falls, you will be transported back to France in the 18th century." Therefore it is known as the "Little Versailles" on the Pacific coast.

Yang Rui's current house is very good, but it is not grand enough and has no gimmicks.

Susan and David divorced three years after the villa was completed. They put it for sale in 2007 at a price of 125 million. As a result, the global economic downturn and then the subprime mortgage crisis forced Susan to lower the price intermittently. Now it is only 90 million.

Thomas found this very interesting: "Buy it. I suggest building another helipad on the vacant land so that you can fly to Serenity by helicopter and live on both sides."

Scarlett was a little jealous and suspected that Yang Rui bought it because Nina liked the castle, but after thinking about it, she seemed to like it too, so she didn't object.

After all, the Palace of Versailles is one of the five largest palaces in the world, along with the Forbidden City in Beijing, Buckingham Palace in the UK, the White House in the US, and the Kremlin in Russia. If you buy it, you don't have to travel to France, you can experience the world cultural heritage at home.

This house has never been sold because it costs a lot of money to maintain it. Not long ago, a magazine analyzed that there are less than 2,000 people in the world who have the ability and possibility to buy this house.

Yang Rui completed the procedures in two weeks and moved in with his family's bags. Susan had bad memories here and could always think of the quarrels with her ex-husband, so it was very pleasant to move out. She also worked as a servant, housekeeper, gardener, etc. The personnel stayed.

Stana and Nina both had no objections to moving. We all have vanity, and living in the Palace of Versailles seemed very tasteful. Moreover, once they arrived in the French architectural environment, the atmosphere became romantic, and everyone's tempers seemed to have improved, and there were no quarrels. .

After Yang Rui played in the new villa for a month, Nina Twilight 3 was finally filmed, and all other movies were rejected. They were all bad scripts that wanted to use her fame to attract fans to the theater.

The few of them stayed in Los Angeles for another half month, buying whatever they liked. Yang Rui didn't care about money at all.

His girlfriend's family also benefited. Yang Rui bought Stana's parents a villa in Chicago, and her siblings also found jobs.

Nina's parents bought a big house in Toronto, and her brother got help with his career.

Yang Rui has the closest connection with Scarlett's family, because they are both from the entertainment industry, and everyone makes money together.

Yang Rui and Thomas are both orphans and have no relatives, so they can only regard these people as relatives. They also often participate in some charity activities and established a charitable foundation to repay the society, which is actually a reasonable way to avoid taxes.

Even so, they still don't spend money as fast as they make money. Facebook's stock rebounded sharply after falling for two years, and the dividends are terrifying. Even if Facebook is not included, investing in movies makes money.

The global box office of "The Twilight Saga 2" exceeded US$700 million, nearly double that of the first episode. Even if Yang Rui spent money on buying a house, he made money back in one movie.

In order to spend money faster and enjoy better, Yang Rui must keep up his efforts.

At the end of September, every NBA team has completed reinforcements and is preparing to fail or compete for the championship. On the media day, many stars were robbed of the limelight by Yang Rui. He and his friends went out to sea on the world's largest yacht Serenity.
