v2 Chapter 415： Bait and fish

After dealing with "Van Helsing", Michael Ovitz's eyes quickly swept across the banquet hall, and instantly locked on the figure of a chocolate-skinned woman, frowning tightly, and her anger could not stop rising. The decision made gradually returned to calm.

Anyway, it is the client who is to be abandoned by the artist management company, so why bother too much?

He raised his foot and walked over there. During the period he saw the producer from France chatting with each other intimately, he couldn't help but sigh secretly that there are all kinds of men in this world, and sexual diseases can be tolerated.

However, after spending so many years in Hollywood, Michael Ovitz has never seen what kind of strange work. Jessica Alba and his boyfriend can only be said to be a strange couple.

He walked to the two of them and said directly, "Jessica, we need to find a place to talk."

Originally, this kind of little actor did not need him to come out in person, but the rumors may be James Cameron standing behind the other party, and Ovitz has to express some importance.

But paying attention does not mean that he wants to keep this all-Hollywood joke in the company.

Michael Ovitz ignored Jessica Alba’s answer, and walked to a lounge on his own, entered and waited for $. It took less than ten seconds, Jessica Alba and his boyfriend Walked in.

Ovitz frowned slightly, but didn't care too much, anyway, after tonight, the other party had nothing to do with him.

"Hi, Michael..." As soon as Jessica Alba's words were spoken, Michael Ovitz interrupted him, "Miss Alba, I officially inform you that the artist management company will terminate the agency contract with you."

Jessica Alba seems to be unable to believe it, "What?"

"You can notify your lawyer to go to the company tomorrow to go through the formalities."

Disgusted eyes swept across that sweet face. Michael Ovitz was too lazy to say anything, turned and left the lounge.

"How... how could this be..." Jessica? Alba was a little lost.

Christopher Rockencourt’s smile flashed from his face, and he quickly showed a comforting and distressed expression, "My dear, don’t care too much. Don’t forget, you are going to be a big production woman with an investment of 160 million US dollars. The protagonist. The brokerage company will rush to sign a contract with you."

Jessica Alba glanced at him affectionately, and the desperate expression disappeared without a trace, "A loser beaten up by Duke Rosenberg is not worthy of my attention! Go, Chris, Now is a good time to pull investment."

She raised her head and kissed Christopher Rockencourt, and walked out of the lounge more aggressively than him, ready to start persuading Daye.

But Christopher Rockencourt did not come out immediately, and when the lounge door closed, he took out the tissue. He wiped the kissed place on his lips with disgust, until his mouth was scratched a little, and then he left the lounge.

Many people in the banquet hall are his targets, Stephen Somos, Rachel Vichy, Steven Soderbergh, Ben Affleck, George Clooney...

of course. Just relying on a mouth is not convincing, so he carefully prepared the plan. He also hinted in various ways that Duke is likely to join the project after "The Return of the King".

Christopher Rockencourt is not afraid of these people to verify. Since meeting Duke last year, he has conducted in-depth investigations and researches on the famous director. The other party’s circle of friends is very narrow, and most people in the circle do not have one. Few people can directly contact him in relationships outside of work.

and so. He carefully avoided people who are closer to Duke, such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Sofia Coppola.

Others can only verify from the side, but in the past year, Christopher Rockencourt has made enough preparations and made quite a few smoke bombs. Sometimes the side verification may not be the true news.

indeed. Most people will not invest rashly, but as long as some people are blinded by benefits and moved by their hearts, that is enough.

Having been in Hollywood for ten years, Christopher Rockencourt knows that money in this circle is really easy sometimes. For example, he built a shell company like most directors and producers. With his efforts, nearly 20 million U.S. dollars has been invested on the books!

Among them, there are actors and directors who have just become popular, and there are retired directors and producers. As a veteran who has not been exposed in Hollywood for ten years, Christopher Rockencourt always has ways to make people tempted.

Turning around in the banquet hall, walking around in front of nearly thirty people to persuade, Christopher Rockencourt is handsome, from the surface and words, he is more elegant and confident than Hollywood's most successful achievers, plus Jie Sika Alba and Mickey Locke and Demi Moore who arrived later, he can easily win people's favor.

But even so, only three or four people have the intention to invest.

However, this is enough for Christopher Rockencourt, he knows that this kind of occasion should be limited, and Hollywood is so big, there are too many goals to find.

In fact, thinking of the money on the shelf company's books and the loan that Jessica Alba was about to mortgage the property, Christopher Rockencourt would flash the idea of ​​ending here, but he has already made things bigger How can you be willing if you don't make a fortune?

The money he raised is, to a certain extent, qualifications and bait, to prove to the billionaire director that he is qualified to participate in the project in good faith and induce the other party to make another bigger investment!

As long as he finishes this single, his Hollywood producer career can come to an end, and he no longer has to endure that disgusting and dirty Jessica Alba, he can use the identity he prepared for a long time and hide from the United States without extradition. The country of the agreement.

However, after the plan and script were delivered to Nancy Josephson, Christopher Rockencourt never called directly to ask. If you want to be a smart hunter, patience is the most basic quality.

The refreshing sea breeze blows from the Pacific Ocean and blows away the last trace of heat on Malibu Beach. Duke turned off the air conditioner and opened the glass windows. The sea breeze immediately poured into the study room of the eye-shaped villa through the insect screen, making him a little groggy. His head instantly became sober.

Back behind the desk, Duke once again picked up the script and plan left by Nancy.

He has always taken precautions in doing things. What should he do after the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is just a vague plan, but no clear direction. Perhaps Napoleon's final glory is a good choice?

Both the script and the plan made him fascinated, but Duke lingered on the worries that arose during the first meeting with the person who sent the project.

Putting down the script, Duke picked up another resume, which was Christopher Rockencourt’s resume personally sent by Nancy.

The other party is not a character who has just arrived in Hollywood. He has been in Hollywood for ten years. He has indeed made friends with many celebrities such as Mickey Locke, Shangge Yunton and Demi Moore. He has also invested in several movies with a cost of several hundred thousand The production of US dollars is just that those productions belong to the bottom of Hollywood, and the amount of his investment and the final benefits are impossible to find out.

A knock on the door sounded, and the butler Emma opened the door. "Attorney Al Ryder is here."

Duke nodded, "Let him in."

This is Duke’s new lawyer. His former lawyer retired and recommended the current one. The two sides have been working together for almost a year.

"Hi, Duke."

This is a man in his forties with thick black hair.

"Sit down, Orr." Duke stood up and shook his hand.

As soon as they sat down, Emma brought coffee and quickly left the study.

"How's the situation?" Duke asked.

Al Ryder did not touch the coffee, first took out a document from the briefcase and handed it over, and then said, "I checked Christopher Rockencourt's passport and bank credit, and there is no problem."

He said as concisely as possible, "The passport and entry and exit records he holds show that he first came to the United States in the summer of 1991. He currently holds large credit cards from Citibank and Bank of America, and has no loans and bad credit records. , And even Citibank has hundreds of thousands of dollars in deposits."

Is it really because I think too much? Duke also knew that he sometimes viewed the world too realistically.

"Where is his studio?" he asked again.

"The Gaul Film Studio under Christopher Rockencourt's name was established in 1996, and its registered place is Delaware." Al Ryder recalled, and said, "This studio is similar to most of Hollywood The film studio is like a shell company. There are definite records that prove that the Gaul Film Studio has invested in six small productions, including "Cruel", "Wolf of California", and "Victory of the Lonely Man" in recent years, making profits and investments. The amount is unknown, but from the tax record, it should be a profit."

"Or..." Duke thought for a while and asked slowly, "What do you think of this studio?"

Al Ryder said directly, "It's very similar to the early days of the Duke's studio. It is a typical shell company for investment and tax avoidance."

Duke nodded, and discussed with Al Ryder for a while, and finally came to the conclusion that it was the same as the resume sent by Nancy, no matter how you looked at it.

All available information shows that Christopher Rockencourt is a French producer who has entered Hollywood for ten years.

After sending away his lawyer, Duke picked up the plan again. Like everyone else, he has greed and interests. This plan is undoubtedly in line with his future interests.

Once his gaze swept over the materials obtained from the investigation, Duke picked up the phone and dialed the agent's number, "Nancy, ask him to meet." (To be continued...)
