Chapter 722: The Former Sweetie, the Current Mrs. Niu
The town of Monterey is not far from Pebble Beach Golf Course.
The town has been quite lively recently.
A crew from Los Angeles came to film. Netflix Entertainment's big-budget web drama "The Hot Zone" is about to be launched, with Jessica Alba as a virologist as the protagonist.
In the original novel of "The Hot Zone", the story mainly tells about the Ebola virus.
After reading the novel last year, Suri felt that the plot was too thin, so he changed it and added many personal experiences, which was considered to be a wake-up call for the world in advance.
Of course.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the villain in the play was set as a fictional pharmaceutical company.
In order to get rid of the dilemma of impending bankruptcy, an executive deliberately let a monkey run away in the laboratory. The male protagonist played by Jensen Ackles is an employee of this pharmaceutical company.
Similar to "The Holy Grail", this is also a new script written by Suri himself. He has high expectations for this "The Hot Zone" and specially invited Nobel Prize winners to act as consultants. The production budget for each episode of the first season is 4 million US dollars.
Now that I'm here.
After playing golf with David Levine of Goldman Sachs, Suri took a car to visit the crew of "The Hot Zone" before returning to the Four Seasons Hotel in Silicon Valley.
The exterior scenes were first filmed in Monterey Town, and as for the laboratories, they were mainly filmed at Stanford University and California Institute of Technology.
According to the script of "The Hot Zone".
At the beginning of the story, several monkeys were sent to Monterey Town, and they encountered a car accident on the way. As the cages were damaged, they all ran away.
Not long after.
Patients appeared in the town one after another. After reporting, Jessica Alba was sent to investigate and unexpectedly discovered that they encountered a new virus.
Because the truck driver who transported the monkeys was the first to encounter misfortune, they followed the clues and found the monkeys from Africa. However, when they were all killed, they found that there was actually one more monkey.
At first, people thought it was just an accident, and the plot was developed around the investigation around Monterey Town. It was not until the end of the first season that some pits were dug and some foreshadowing was laid to pave the way for the second season.
Suri has read the script.
After walking around the crew, I immediately realized that this was a scene where a truck driver's wife was filming and sending her husband to the hospital for treatment, accompanied by her children who were about to grow up.
Because of Suri's arrival, a group of actors performed poorly one after another, some were too hard, and some were so nervous that they forgot their lines.
The main reason was that these actors all wanted to leave a good impression in front of him, and who knows when they will have the opportunity to get other important roles from Netflix Entertainment or Big Orange Film.
Jessica Alba was also a little nervous.
Although the two broke up peacefully, they had dated dozens of times every now and then, so it was inevitable that they felt a little special.
When she saw her, Suri greeted her with a smile, as if nothing had happened:
"Hi, neighbor, how are you doing recently? I brought you some steaks as a specialty from Lanai, and I had the housekeeper deliver them to your home some time ago."
Jessica's smile was sweet, but it revealed a little embarrassment, and she said:
"I'm fine. Maybe you have seen my news. I'm trying to date again recently. Thank you very much for your gift. The nanny mentioned to me that I plan to taste it carefully when my friends get together."
She used to be a sweet girl, but now she is Mrs. Niu.
Jessica is obviously a playful and naive person. She usually cherishes her reputation and is afraid of some scandals with Suri.
Suri heard the reminder in her words, and of course he didn't want to make himself unhappy.
Especially after Tian Ying, Miss Sun Ye and others appeared around him, no matter who was younger than Jessica and more in line with his aesthetics.
The spark at the beginning had long been extinguished.
Suri only told Jessica:
"You're welcome. All neighbors and friends can have a share. If you think it tastes good, remember to advertise for me. In the future, I will only supply Lanai Wagyu beef to the Four Seasons Hotel."
After saying this, he went on to greet the director and producer of the crew and asked about the filming of the show.
Jessica was originally worried and suspected that Suri was coming for her.
At this moment, noticing his estrangement, the woman was quietly relieved, but she felt a little uncomfortable.
Recently, the outside world has been paying attention to her, saying that she is dating a successful and handsome businessman.
Only Jessica herself knows that although this relationship is not bad, it is boring. Both parties are busy with their own careers and there are not many common topics. On the contrary, the previous underground relationship is easier and easier.
Suri's attention to the show "The Hot Zone" is indeed greater than her attention to Jessica.
If it is well made, it has a chance to become a top series like Prison Break and Breaking Bad, attracting another group of paying users for Netflix Entertainment, and the value may be as high as 2 billion US dollars.
They used to treat each other as tools to entertain and relieve boredom. After meeting, they were busy with that kind of thing most of the time. There were not many opportunities for communication, which made it easy to separate.
Women are always prone to rebellious psychology.
Seeing that Suri's attention has not been on her, Jessica took the initiative to get close to him and asked:
"I haven't congratulated you on becoming the richest man in the world. I heard that you lived in Lanai some time ago. What are you busy with recently? Why did you come to Monterey?"
"I made an appointment with friends to play golf in Pebble Beach. I thought the crew was filming here, so I came to take a look. I will go back to Silicon Valley later and talk about some business tomorrow."
Suri looked at Jessica carefully.
She was wearing a women's suit from the crew, and a photo ID with the name of her character on her chest.
The "girl next door" in her early years finally reached the age where she didn't need to put on makeup to play a middle-aged woman, and her image looked quite mature and stable.
And Suri's serious and polite manner also made Jessica a little uncomfortable.
She got excited and asked in a low voice:
"At that time, I said I wanted to break up with you, and you said we should meet again before we break up. Does this proposal still work? I am in a long-distance relationship with my boyfriend. I calmed down and thought about it carefully. It seems that we are not suitable. Last week I saw him checking the news about wedding rings on the computer. I felt that he loved my celebrity status. It would be very face-saving to say it in front of friends, not that he really fits with me."
After breaking up twice, Suri suddenly had the illusion of being a spare tire.
He paused for a few seconds before speaking:
"This may not be a good idea. If you want a brand new start, you must say goodbye to your past self. I'm done. I'm naturally uninhibited and love freedom. I feel that you still have a chance to run a wonderful family. If this boyfriend is not someone you really like, it's best to separate as soon as possible and then wait patiently for your prince charming."
Jessica was a little stunned and said in a joking tone:
"It seems that the vacation on Lanai Island has changed you a lot, but you are right, we really shouldn't continue. Sorry, maybe I'm a little stressed because I'm busy filming recently."
He then told:
"I'm also under a lot of pressure. There is a deal involving tens of billions of dollars. Although I don't want to interfere with your life, if you really decide to break up with your boyfriend, you can come to the Four Seasons Hotel Silicon Valley to find me. You have my contact information."
"."
Okay.
Jessica couldn't help laughing. This is the familiar Suri in her impression (end of this chapter)
