Chapter 1184: Last chance

From the early Hollywood golden age to the rise of the new century, there are only a handful of actresses who can stand at the box office at any stage in Hollywood. Angelina Jolie is definitely one.

Although it has long been surrounded by various controversies, there is no doubt that Julie's life is definitely a legend worthy of writing.

Because of Eric's big butterfly, Hollywood history has changed too much, but he is still very optimistic about Julie's potential. However, this year's 24-year-old Julie is still immersed in the state of being on the verge of collapse. No one can guarantee that such a poppie-like gorgeous girl will suddenly die in the next moment.

Eric has never been the kind of person who likes to save others. The two worlds are human, he is more accustomed to watching the cold for too many things.

However, after careful consideration, he still made up his mind.

Beverly Hills.

The MGM's party is being held in the mansion where Elizabeth and Julia are basically occupied by Shantou.

Shantou accompanied Viginia in May for three months in Australia. Under the supervision of senior executives such as Amy Pascal, MGM's operations were not affected at all.

Although this year's summer file MGM did not launch a large film, but the "Speed ​​and Passion" at the beginning of the year and the "American Pie" of the Easter schedule were successful at the box office, which is enough to support MGM this year. Film business. "Speed ​​and Passion" has created a new derivative series for the MGM movie universe.

Moreover, although there is no blockbuster film, MGM's "Resident Evil 3" and "Stolen Games" two mid-cost production box office performances are also very good.

The "Resident Evil 3" with a production cost of 50 million US dollars has accumulated popularity in the first two parts. The third North American box office has reached 82 million US dollars. The global box office has also exceeded 200 million US dollars. The performance is very stable and belongs to MGM. Successful medium cost long line series.

The style of "Stolen Sky Game" is similar to Columbia's "Stolen Trap", both of which belong to the Treasure Action movie.

The director of the film originally hoped that Pierce Brosnan could star in the actor, but for various reasons, this idea could not be realized. The finalized actor's coffee position could not be compared with the "Stolen Trap", the production cost was only 40 million US dollars.

Since its release in early August, the North American box office of "Stolen Games" has accumulated $69 million, and the global box office has 120 million. Compared with the cost, it has just achieved balance of payments, which will bring good profits.

In addition to these, MGM's "Bond 19", "Bourne" and other projects have also been very smooth. In addition, the MGM TV business continued to flourish with the return of various TV programs in September, so this gathering was a thank-you for the management of MGM, and also had a sense of contact.

When Angelina Jolie rushed to the Ferrisdale mansion, Eric was talking to Jean-Marie Messier, CEO of the French Vivendi Group, but she was a little bit dumbfounded.

The Vivendi Group has been pursuing the development of Hollywood in recent years. In the memory, the next step of the expansion of the Vivendi Group is the Seagram Group. However, at this time, Messier, who came specifically from the United States, hopes to buy the MGM Group and complete its own layout for Hollywood.

After the big integration a few years ago, the Vivendi Group held 16.78% of MGM, the second largest shareholder after Shantou himself. Messier apparently valued this factor, coupled with the rapid development of MGM in recent years, this will produce this idea.

Despite the Nasdaq crash, MGM's share price has been affected in the past few months. However, in the market is generally optimistic about the development of MGM TV business and the profitability of the follow-up stage of the agent movie universe, MGM's market value is still maintained at around 26 billion US dollars. Moreover, MGM's debt ratio is also very low relative to the market value. The current corporate debt is only 3.7 billion US dollars, and the overall development and financial situation are very healthy.

Therefore, although Messier is vividly portraying the promising future of Vichy's acquisition of MGM and the close cooperation with the firefly system, and for the MGM overall, the high price of 30 billion US dollars, Eric But it did not mean to sell this company.

"Let, I think you still think about other media companies, such as Seagram, which has been operating very well in recent years. Of course, Vivendi may not be willing to distract MGM and Seagram at the same time. The two companies, so, by the time the fireflies can also buy back the shares held by Vivendi at a high price."

Eric saw that Angelina Jolie was not far from being taken by Natasha personally, so she did not intend to perfuse Messier. After she spoke her own opinion, she raised a toast at the other side and wore it. Passed the crowd to Angelina Jolie.

Shantou and LTD added more than 41% to MGM's shareholding. Coupled with the management's control, the firefly system can be said to have been firmly in control of MGM. Eric refused very simply and did not worry. Vivendi will launch a possibility of a hostile takeover.

"Hey, Julie, you are so beautiful tonight," Eric walked up to Angelina Jolie, looking at the gorgeous girl wearing a pale yellow deep V dress with a long brown hair, reaching out and holding the other hand. Then, just say: "Come with me, let's talk next door."

Angelina Jolie also politely greeted Eric, and when she heard the words behind him, he squatted slightly, but instead showed a smile with a provocative smile. It seemed to be very free and easy: " Ok."

With that said, Julie took a step forward and took the initiative to take over Eric's arm, and then Zhang Yang looked around the guests and looked like they were showing off the man they had just caught.

Eric just smiled and let Julie do these little tricks, but she remembered that many years ago, a girl with a face that was rebellious and rebellious had participated in the audition when she returned to the age of seventeen. Life is really wonderful, or It’s still the same sentence, Hollywood is really small.

The two men walked through the open-air lawn of the mansion and went to the next-door mansion through a small door that had just been opened. Julie immediately released Eric's arm, but still looked around curiously.

The other side is very lively, but although it is still brightly lit, it seems very quiet.

Seeing Eric stopped by the side of the pool, Julie also stood still and kept a distance of two or three meters from the man. The words were explicit and asked: "So, Mr. Williams, you like to be at Where, swimming pool? On the lawn? Or going to the bedroom?"

"Everything has been done, nothing new," Eric Crae opened the chair and intended to sit down. He smiled and looked around. He said so, as if he had found something, said: "But, um. The roof has not been tried yet. If you don't mind, I will let people move the ladder."

Julie subconsciously looked at the roof of the villa covered with red tiles and found that Eric had sat down at the round table and pointed at the opposite side, only to realize that the man was just joking with himself and stood up with some anger. Deadlock for a moment, or honestly walked over.

Sitting down opposite Eric, the man looking at the opposite side just opened a blue folder in front of him and ignored his own meaning. Julie no longer spoke on her own initiative, but she did not believe in William Sterling. Calling yourself alone is not for certain things.

It wasn't until Eve came over with a pot of coffee that Julie had never recovered from the atmosphere of stalemate with the opposite man. She remembers that the girl had definitely stayed opposite, so this one must be the other of the twins. Drew Barrymore has a pair of very beautiful twins, everyone knows about it.

Courtesy and thanks, watching Eve leave the coffee after the two people left silently, Julie inexplicably envied the quiet temperament of the two girls. In turn, I couldn't help but wonder if Eric Williams went to bed with the two girls. The answer is almost certain.

In the afternoon, I got a call from the agent, and Eric Williams asked her to come to the party tonight. Julie almost instinctively used this as a hint, and she subconsciously wanted to refuse.

With the family's connections in Hollywood, the hidden rules in the circle have no effect on her. Julie never thought that she would need to face this situation one day.

However, after some hesitation, Julie still rushed over, and even with a bit of broken cans.

She knows very well that the Voith family's connections in Hollywood have little to do with Eric Williams himself. On the contrary, if Eric Williams is not happy, the connection of the Voight family may even completely lose any effect in Hollywood, she may not receive any film in the future.

After graduating from junior high school, Julie began to attend the performing arts school. She also attended the performance department of New York University in the past few years, but she dropped out of school because of the well-known reasons in the circle. It can be said that in addition to the performance, she simply could not think of what else she could do.

Moreover, although in recent years I have always been able to receive a film, but because of her own drug addiction and mental state problems, Hollywood's mainstream commercial film is basically not with her. If this state continues for a few more years, Hollywood may have to shut her door completely.

Occasionally, when the night is quiet, Julie can't help but imagine that she will be completely degraded one day, abandoned by Hollywood, abandoned by her family, covered in pinholes and ignorantly dying in the dirty alleys of some garbage. . This kind of thing has not happened. She even played such a girl last year. The other name is Jiyaka Lanzhi, a supermodel who is famous in the world, and even more famous than Linda Ivangolins. They are still early, because it is almost a problem similar to her, and Jiya Kalanzhi quickly fell when she was 26 years old.

Every time she thinks about this, she will have a deep fear of bone marrow in her heart.

I don't know how long it took, and suddenly there was a voice on the opposite side: "What are you thinking?"

Julie looked up and fiddled with her long hair hanging in front of her forehead. "So, Mr. Williams, you don't want to go to bed with me, and call me to do something?"

"I still want to go to bed with you," Eric said with a smile. "Just worried that you will suddenly bite me in bed. I have a shadow on this kind of thing."

Julie seems to be in a mood of interest, with a clear ambiguity in her tone: "You have been bitten by a woman?"

Eric nodded frankly: "Well."

Julie once again teased her lips and said: "Mr. Williams, I promise not to bite you."

"You won't have a chance," Eric looked at the gorgeous girl across the street and said, "If you want to go to bed with you, I will tie you up first."

Julie dismissed: "The big guys are really abnormal."

Eric smiled and stopped talking with the girl. He picked up the paper in front of him and said, "So, let's talk about your business."

Julie is definitely not a person who lacks emotional intelligence. On the contrary, her emotional intelligence is still very high. Listening to Eric, the girl also puts her face in a timely manner and is sitting in danger.

"You have been involved in the audition of a movie in Colombia, "The Soul Girl", right?"

Julie nodded.

Eric said: "I gave Charlie the role, otherwise you are still very suitable."

Julie grinned but didn't say anything.

Eric once again looked up at the girl and looked at the documents in front of him. He said: "The marginal personality disorder is mainly due to the strong instability of a series of interpersonal relationships and behavioral patterns caused by impulsive behavior patterns. State. A very obvious manifestation of the patient is that in the initial stage of dealing with people, it is often full of idealization, but in the process of getting along, it will be disillusioned, which will lead to the breakdown of relationship with others, and even turn against enemies."

When I heard Eric slowly say this, Julie’s expression was obviously unnatural, and she even subconsciously touched a tattoo that had been painted on her arm.

Eric looked up at the opposite girl and said nothing about it. A few years ago, when Julie and her first husband, Johnny Lee Miller, married, they could be described as loving and mutual. I tattooed my name on the other side. Even when Julie didn't wear a wedding dress, she printed a t-shirt with the words 'my husband Johnny Lee Miller' and similar vows. .

However, after two years of getting along, this pair of couples who had vowed to swear by the Shanmeng had turned against each other. In the worst case, even in the apartment, they were slashing and slashing.

Eric just said that he was worried that Julie would bite himself, which is absolutely true.

Silence for a moment, Julie still took the initiative to say: "Mr. Williams, if you can give me the role of the black widow, I will be very honored, and will play this role as much as possible. However, I do not need Psychologist."

"I don't want to be your psychiatrist either," Eric shrugged. "Not to mention, you can't afford a psychiatrist like me. I just want to solve your problem. In fact, As long as you can successfully complete the contract in the future, I will not pay attention to your private life."

Julie stared at the file in front of Eric and said, "Then why, why?"
