It seemed that Robert was really doing well in Hollywood. To be able to own a 1,200 square meter detached villa with a lawn and pool in the Hollywood Hills with beautiful scenery and villas, it was absolutely impossible to buy it without ten million US dollars.
Gym, steam shower, sauna, swimming pool, home theater, everything was available. The balcony faced Los Santos. Leaning against the floor-to-ceiling windows, one could enjoy the night view of Los Santos. On both sides of the mansion were green mountains. Just looking at it was relaxing.
"The living room is the highlight of the entire building. The fireplace is made of limestone, and the modern-style milky white furniture combines the sense of line and art. While making the home comfortable and comfortable, it also reflects the essence of the concept of high quality and low luxury in different times. The floor-to-ceiling windows with thick wooden beams and the high arched roof complement each other, rendering the contemporary home art with a rich Spanish romanticism. "As he led Jiang Chen into the mansion, Robert continued to brag to Jiang Chen.
"Did you memorize the entire introduction of the real estate agent?" Jiang Chen couldn't help but ridicule.
"Absolutely not." Robert immediately waved his hand, but then said, "I only memorized a few paragraphs."
Just then, when Jiang Chen walked into the living room, he heard a joyful shout from the balcony not far away.
"Hey, Robert, are you done yet? If you don't come, we'll take this bottle of champagne that you've treasured for ten years … "
"Oh! Sh * t! Don't do that, that's my life! "Robert shouted exaggeratedly. He kicked his leather shoes to the side and walked into the room.
The laughter of men and women came from the balcony. Jiang Chen followed Robert into the living room. A man walked through the open floor-to-ceiling window and walked over from the balcony.
"Haha, Robert, where is the big shot you're talking about? If you're just trying to show off your relationship with your 'old friends' in the FBA … Oh! God, you, you are Jiang Chen? " The man who was previously smiling, his eyes instantly popped out as he looked at the man next to Robert in disbelief.
"That's right, nice to meet you." Jiang Chen extended his right hand.
Although he felt this guy looked familiar, he couldn't remember his name. Unless it was a director or actor that he particularly liked or had an impressive characteristic, he usually wouldn't pay attention to that person's name.
"Let me introduce you. This is Bryan Singer. If you've watched X-Men, you'll be familiar with him."
When he heard the name Brian Singh, Jiang Chen immediately matched his face with the name.
Speaking of Bryan Singer, most people would associate him with the term X-Men. From the success of "Special Suspect" in 1995, Bryan Singer officially entered the Hollywood circle from solo production. In 2000, the adaptation of "X-Men" directed by him was an unexpected huge success, and then his career as a director was tied to X-Men.
It's not that he hasn't tried to transform, but it's like he's cursed. Whether it's "Superman Returns" or "Jack the Giant Slayer", the box office fiasco made Warner Brothers cry for their parents, and also cast a shadow over his career as a director.
Hollywood was a realistic place. Whether a director's future was bright or not was directly linked to the box office results he achieved.
However, Jiang Chen remembered this guy's name not because of X-Men, but because, according to rumors, this guy was bisexual.
It was indeed an impressive characteristic.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Jiang Chen. I always thought Robert was bluffing, but he wasn't bluffing at all! "Brian held onto Jiang Chen's hand and said excitedly.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Singer. X-Men is also quite famous in my country. Mhmm, I've watched Apocalypse. "Jiang Chen smiled and quietly withdrew his hand.
Shaking hands with a gay man gave him goosebumps.
Although it was only a rumor …
After all, it was a party hosted by the old pervert Robert. In addition to his friends from Hollywood, there were naturally many blonde, blue-eyed Caucasian women.
Just as Robert said, he was doing well in Hollywood. A few blockbuster movies made him a well-known producer. In addition to Bryan Singer, Jiang Chen also saw Alicia Vikander. The queen who played Lara in "Tomb Raider" released this year (2018) seemed to be the star of the party.
However, Jiang Chen knew very well that even for a veteran like Robert, this kind of woman was quite difficult. Her identity as a producer alone was not enough to make her open her legs, and her performance at the party didn't seem like they had a relationship beyond friendship.
However, in front of Jiang Chen, she, like everyone else in the party, showed a considerable degree of surprise and interest.
"Mr. Jiang Chen, can I invite you to my house for a cup of coffee after the party?" Alicia pursed her red lips and asked in a seductive tone when no one was around Jiang Chen.
The proposal was quite attractive. Everyone knew what coffee meant in this situation.
But …
"I'm sorry, Miss … Alicia, this proposal is tempting, but I'm afraid my temporary security adviser won't allow it." Jiang Chen regretfully declined her invitation.
Alicia Vikander, who was rejected, just smiled and wasn't discouraged. After a few friendly words with Jiang Chen, she turned to other circles. Jiang Chen, who was working closely with Warner Bros., would undoubtedly help her acting career, and Virtual Image Animation did show an intention to enter Hollywood. But unfortunately, Jiang Chen didn't seem to show enough interest in her, and she didn't go up to him again.
Not only famous celebrities like Alicia Vikander, but there were also a lot of beautiful women who looked at him eagerly. Emma Watson's endorsement fee was enviable, and her role as a supporting actress in the epoch-making "Time Curtain" was also enviable.
No one here was worse than her, and no one was willing to admit defeat.
The party lasted until eight o 'clock in the evening. Unlike most private parties in Hollywood, this party that started in the afternoon was about to end. The sea breeze from the West Coast brought a bit of coolness and blew away the heat in the hearts of the guests. The guests shook hands with Robert one after another and left with laughter and satisfaction.
Except for Jiang Chen.
"How do you feel? This city. "
"So-so."
Robert smiled and used a bottle opener to open his collection. 65 year old red wine. Although it was a brand Jiang Chen had never seen before, just by looking at the color, it was not an ordinary product.
"That's a harsh comment."
Robert shook his head and poured a glass of his collection for Jiang Chen.
After the party ended, it seemed a lot more desolate. The wine bottles, poker cards, and tinfoil on the floor highlighted the hustle and bustle of an hour ago.
Jiang Chen swirled the glass and took a sip of the sour wine.
"Where is Nick?"
"He's filming in Australia. Unfortunately, he can't leave now, or he wouldn't have missed this party."
After that, Robert took a sip of champagne and let out a long breath. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the night view of Los Santos in the distance. He said to himself, "The first half of my life is a dead end, and the second half of my life is a dream … This feeling is really fascinating."
"You didn't consider making a biography of yourself?" Jiang Chen joked.
"That's a great idea!" Robert raised his glass to Jiang Chen from afar, grinned, and continued to look at the night view of Los Santos. "I have a feeling that if my autobiography was made into a movie, it would be like >. The box office and reputation would both soar, and fame and riches- "
"Maybe we'll fail miserably." Jiang Chen chuckled.
"Don't be like that, buddy." Robert glanced at Jiang Chen and continued to drink.
Of course, making a personal biography into a movie was just a thought. It was definitely impossible for him to actually do it. Not to mention that he sold arms for the Capital before, it was impossible for him to write an autobiography at this age. Even if he wanted to make it, the FBA would not cooperate with him to smear his name.
Smearing the federal government was politically correct for Hollywood blockbusters, but some lines could not be crossed. For example, Lawrence once planned to use IS to get rid of him and link the UA to terrorism. This was obviously not suitable to appear on the big screen. Although it was Hollywood's tradition to smear the officials in the Capital, to this extent, even the audience would not buy it.
Think about Michael Moore's . Although he mercilessly tricked George W. Bush and won the Palme d 'Or in Cannes, did he produce any other famous movies? There were precedents for all of this.
"Also, the you and Warner Brothers is about to be released, right? How do you feel? "
"Please, I only participated in the production of virtual image animation under Future Technology. I can't be there to see the details of this project in person." Jiang Chen shrugged helplessly.
When Robert heard this, he pointed his middle finger at him.
"Sh * t, in your Han language, this is called being pretentious?"
"Your Han pronunciation is getting better and better," Jiang Chen mocked.
"Also, in your movie, is Miss Watson in it? She seems to be playing … "Robert frowned and couldn't remember.
"Deputy captain. Wait, don't do anything to my actors, "Jiang Chen said.
"Sh * t! Am I that kind of person? " Robert glanced at Jiang Chen. He automatically categorized Emma as the kind of woman who had a close relationship with Jiang Chen. He leaned against the balcony railing. "It's just that I heard some bad rumors recently … Since you invested one hundred million in this movie, I can't just watch my brother get screwed over."
"What rumors?" Jiang Chen frowned.
