Ivanka Ivana looked at the Asian man next to her with some curiosity.
To be honest, Ivanka Ivana did not have much interest in Hollywood, nor did she have much interest in modeling. She became a model purely for the money. Although she came from a wealthy family, her family was surprisingly stingy. If Ivanka Ivana did not have any income, she would really have to take out a student loan. This was simply terrible. Only a fool would take out a student loan that might take a lifetime to repay.
But she didn't expect that on her first day as a model, her task was not to take photos, but to accompany an Asian man to a Hollywood dinner party.
This Asian man's face was full of undisguised desire for her body. Ivanka Ivana didn't care about this. She was already 16 years old. She didn't have a boyfriend in the United States at 16 years old, and she was still a girl. This was simply shameful in the circle of high school students.
Therefore, Ivanka Ivana didn't mind having some relations in exchange for some money. Anyway, her 16 years of family education told her that everything was a bastard, only money, wealth and power were the real good things.
However, not everyone was worthy of having a relationship with her. She was not reduced to having a relationship with a man she hated for money.
As for the Asian man now, Ivanka Ivana didn't feel that she hated him, but she didn't like him either. If he dared to touch her, Ivanka Ivana would definitely give him a slap.
Fortunately, although this man's eyes were full of desire, his behavior was very honest and very gentlemanly. There was nothing wrong with him. Perhaps this was what her father said, the Eastern culture that was used to suppressing their desires!
Ivanka Ivana thought about a lot of things in her heart. Otherwise, unknowingly, the two people had already entered the dinner party. At this time, many celebrities had already arrived in the group. They were talking while eating all kinds of exquisite food on the scene.
"My Boss Jia, how long has it been? Where did you find such a beautiful woman!" Seeing Jia Yapeng again, Director Zhang couldn't hide his shock and asked.
Although Director Zhang was used to seeing all kinds of beautiful women, a beauty like Ivanka Ivana was still very rare.
"Why don't you guess?" Jia Yapeng grinned.
"Which rich family's daughter in Los Angeles?" Director Zhang had a good eye for people. Boss Jia was a billionaire, so it wasn't impossible for him to know one or two billionaires in the United States and invite their daughters to a dinner party.
"I found her from a modeling agency!" Boss Jia said honestly.
"Modeling agency!" Director Zhang shook his head in disbelief. The women in the modeling company had all kinds of temperaments, but it was really difficult to find a woman who exuded a noble aura from the inside out.
However, it had nothing to do with Director Zhang. His current goal was to make friends with these Hollywood celebrities and prepare for next year's Oscars.
Now, Director Zhang's heart was wild.
In May, Director Zhang took his film "Farewell My Concubine" to the Cannes Film Festival in an indifferent mood.
The reason he didn't care was because he felt that he was just there to go through the process. He just needed to take a picture. He didn't have any hopes of winning an award.
No matter the era, Hua Xia films weren't accepted by the Western film industry. Director Zhang didn't think that his film had any hope of winning an award. He didn't even have any hope of winning a small award like the Best Costume Award.
But who would have thought that Director Zhang would really make such a big announcement. When it was announced that Farewell My Concubine had won the Palme d 'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, Director Zhang was completely dumbfounded. When he went up on stage to receive the award, he didn't even know how to speak. The first sentence that came out of his mouth was to thank the director.
After spending the night in a daze, Director Zhang suddenly realized that he might have made an unparalleled film.
What happened next confirmed Director Zhang's guess. Farewell My Concubine won the Best Foreign Film Award at the 51st Golden Globe Awards, the 47th Best Foreign Film Award at the BAFTA Awards, and the 15th Blue Dragon Award at the Korean Film Festival. Director Zhang's ego gradually swelled.
He couldn't help but recall what Boss Jia had said at the beginning. He had said that this was a film that had the ability to win the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Now, Director Zhang was really going in this direction.
In order to win the Oscars, the box office in the United States was very important. Therefore, with Boss Jia's approval, Director Zhang spent a total of $300,000 to hold a grand banquet and premiere ceremony.
However, Director Zhang didn't have enough face. Although there were many people attending the banquet, it was obvious that there wasn't a single top star. At most, there were second-tier stars and directors.
However, for the prideful Director Zhang, being able to hold such an extravagant banquet in the United States was already very impressive.
After the banquet started, Director Zhang went on stage to give a speech. However, his English was a little bad, so after a few simple sentences, Director Zhang pulled Jia Yapeng up as if he was saving his life and introduced him to the crowd. "Everyone, I would like to sincerely thank the chairman of Hua Xia Daqian Group, Jia Yapeng. It was his generous investment in Farewell My Concubine that allowed this film to finally appear in this world."
As Director Zhang spoke, Boss Jia naturally took the microphone from Director Zhang and began speaking in perfect American English. His elegant and generous attitude attracted many people's attention.
When they heard Jia Yapeng introduce the Daqian Group, which had a total assets of more than 500 million US dollars, they were even more surprised. Many small stars looked at Boss Jia with shining eyes.
No matter what race Boss Jia was from, as long as he was rich, he was a good person worth getting to know.
After his speech, Boss Jia returned to the stage and was immediately surrounded by many people. Everyone wanted to get to know this billionaire. Jia Yapeng was holding Ivanka Ivana's hand as he dealt with these people skillfully. Director Zhang, on the other hand, was ignored. He couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
This was exactly what Boss Jia wanted. In Hollywood, it wasn't popular to pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger. One had to show one's worth in order to be successful.
Sure enough, Boss Jia's real target soon appeared in front of Jia Yapeng.
"Hello, Mr. Jia. I'm Harvey Weinstein. Nice to meet you!" A bearded man dressed like a director excitedly reached out his hand to Boss Jia.
"Hello!" Boss Jia shook hands with Harvey Weinstein with a smile on his face.
This guy named Harvey Vance was indeed a Hollywood director, but he was also the biggest scum in Hollywood.
In 2017, the director was put in prison on the grounds that he had violated hundreds of Hollywood actresses, many of whom were minors.
It was said that he had become one of the first United States prisoners to be infected with American pneumonia. What a pity!
