Chapter 126

The City of Angels is brightly lit at night. Even though there are no high-rise buildings in New York. The lights of Beverly Hills still testify to the city's prosperity. It is the world's largest film industry, which can produce bright stars every year, that is Hollywood. Every year, countless beautiful men and women come here looking for opportunities for themselves. In the United States and around the world, they aspire to be famous and become big stars, admired or reserved, noble or private. As long as they can become famous, as long as they can have a place, even prosperity, in Hollywood, a place of luxury and flashy money, they are not afraid to devote themselves! Wait, you said they did this for the show and the movie? Of course everyone says that, right? Beverly Hills. Mr. Michael Ovitz, CEO of Innovation Elite Culture Company. Tonight he will host a small to medium-sized dance party at his Beverly Hills mansion. This dance party mainly featured many Hollywood artists signed to CAA. VIPs are executives of major Hollywood giants who have good relationships with CAA. Today's CAA is no longer the driving force that swept Hollywood in the early 1990s. But there's no doubt about the innovative full-service brokerage model, along with years of word-of-mouth and a top-notch collaboration base. CAA remains the undisputed leader in the Hollywood industry when it comes to entertainment management. Before the initial welcome of the industry boss. In Hollywood, those who signed the CAA. Or celebrities who have a good relationship with CAA mostly come. For example, not long ago, At the Four Seasons hotel in downtown San Francisco, I saw Charlize Theron next to Abel from afar. Charlize Theron entered the circle at eighteen years old, now twenty-five years old. The brokerage company she initially signed with was a small company that relied heavily on finding newcomers to gain a foothold. There are many such companies in Hollywood and they all dream of becoming a giant like CAA. But most of them will be abandoned by stars once they are dug up and become famous. Charlize Theron also made a similar choice. In 1996, she left her original brokerage firm and joined CAA Creative Elite Culture Broker. From then on, she officially became famous and had many appointments at the cinema. Today, she is one of the second-rate stars in Hollywood. It was a stone's throw from the front line. As long as he can make a blockbuster or win an Oscar, that's fine. These years of accumulation will allow him to advance from the second line to the first line. There are not many opportunities like this, she is very careful and tries her best to find opportunities. A cocktail for big names like Michael Ovitz in Return of the King. Of course, she didn't give up and got dressed. It was just like similar ceremonies I attended several years ago. Charlize Theron appeared at ease on the field, enduring stares, greetings, treats and wishes from all sides. However, her favorite person was actually the host of tonight's reception: Michael Ovitz. When Charlize Theron joined CAA, Michael went to Disney. Waiting for Charlize Theron to receive support from CAA and gain a foothold in Hollywood. Michael Ovitz, who wanted to return to CAA, was harshly rejected. Even Charlize Theron doesn't know Michael Ovitz, the former Hollywood mogul. If Michael Ovitz doesn't return to CAA, or simply disappears. But Michael Ovitz is back. Charlize Theron for her own benefit, as a stepping stone forward. She faced Michael Ovitz. After all, even if CAA does not produce resources, it is still the best resource intermediary in the circle. is the best resource tool. While actors like Charlize Theron compete for resources. caa These brokers can often play an important role. Because they know too much about the leaders of Hollywood giants. You can play around at will, you can use your advantages to seduce, you can deceive your superiors and subordinates, you can practice deception. Most Hollywood actors need this ability from agents. This can help actors get better opportunities, higher pay, and more exposure. When I received it, Charlize Theron is looking for opportunities. She wanted to be right in front of Michael Ovitz. It's a shame because Michael Ovitz has been chatting and laughing with many Hollywood executives since the reception began. It is unlikely that Charlize Theron will succeed. Wait for Charlize Theron to temporarily give up and chat at the front desk, when she reappears. She suddenly discovered, Michael Ovitz was not on the field for some reason. The person hosting the reception, there is no one in between. This is rare at Hollywood receptions. Usually, the host is the one who initiates the reception. Most of the time it will appear where people can easily find it. Charlize Theron looks around with beautiful eyes. There was no one in the reception room. There's also no chilly outdoor dining area. Michael Ovitz was also not found in the outdoor swimming pool next to the buffet. Where did you go? I wasn't planning on staying with a whore so I walked into the room, right? When she was thinking. A gentle voice rang out from behind her. "Hello~ Charlize, you look beautiful tonight." Charlize Theron turned around and saw her friend Keanu Reeves appear behind her with a glass of red wine. Charlize Theron gave a small smile, "Ha~ good evening. Reeves, thank you for your compliment." A Hollywood actor who was born in a country other than the United States and has dual citizenship has a small circle in Beverly Hills. Charlize Theron has dual South African and American citizenship, and Keanu Reeves has dual Canadian and American citizenship. Both have participated in meetings of this small group, even if they are not currently collaborating. The two are considered friends and when they meet at an event, they naturally chat a bit more. It can be said that Keanu Reeves in 2000 was at his glorious moment. The release and popularity of "The Matrix" last year made Keanu Reeves famous and rich. For a while, his status in Hollywood. Even if it's just a little, he's more motivated than the two Toms. Compared to Charlize Theron, who has too many secondary and primary flaws, Keanu Reeves has a higher status in the world. But no matter his status, it doesn't change the fact that Keanu Reeves is still just an actor. Either way, he's not as good as a high-level food chain executive like Michael Ovitz. Charlize Theron appears to be chatting with Keanu Reeves. Indeed, Charlize Theron is looking for Michael Ovitz. It's just that Michael Ovitz isn't here right now, so she can only chat with friends to pass the time. I'm talking about Keanu Reeves' crime thriller "Justice Watch" which was just released in September this year. Charlize Theron suddenly saw Keanu Reeves stop talking, pointed to the left and whispered in surprise: "Look over there, Charlize. Over there, look who Michael brought. Oh, this guy looks so tall, young and handsome!" At first, Charlize Theron was still a bit confused. When she turned her head and looked in that direction. You know what Keanu Reeves is talking about. Because there, the entrance to the villa's garden. Presenting this evening's reception, Mr. Michael Ovitz, CEO of caa. He stepped forward, his right hand slightly extended, his attitude somewhat respectful and gentle. In this state, he looked like a hotel doorman, leading the way for a tall, handsome young man to follow. "Who is that guy?" Charlize Theron heard Keanu Reeves whisper: "Making Michael so important? CAA super rookie wants a promotion?" Unlike her friend Keanu Reeves, Charlize Theron recognized the young man. What she means is that she met this young man once. I haven't talked yet. Charlize Theron heard, a slightly hoarse and wild female voice rang out next to her. "Maybe Michael wants to promote a fresh meat idol like Leonardo after returning to CAA?" Charlize Theron leaned slightly to the side and saw that the person speaking was one of Hollywood's fiercest competitors. Angelina Jolie won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. "Good evening, Charlize." Angelina Jolie was very active at the reception throughout the night. Like Charlize Theron. But all night they hardly said a word. Up to now both are in the same situation. A very competitive actress had her first conversational moment at tonight's reception. "Good evening, Angelina." Charlize Theron smiled. Right away, Michael Ovitz put this on everyone's radar. Michael Ovitz, a young man who looked like a doorman, was brought to the middle of the reception desk. After Angelina Jolie and Charlize Theron and others, Michael Ovitz took it upon himself to say loud and clear: "Everyone, please forgive me for my brief disappearance just now." "Actually, I haven't left yet." "I was just out for a while, out to meet the boss!" "That's right, you heard me, boss!" "He is the largest shareholder of CAA and the chairman of the board of CAA, and he is also the chairman of ab Smith Entertainment and the chairman of Marvel Studios!" "Now please welcome my boss, Mr. Abel Smith!!" Michael Ovitz's voice was full of emotion, hands raised, soprano. Loudly in front of hundreds of people, he shouted the identity of the young man in front of him. When he raised his hand, his voice lowered. The entire reception scene erupted into enthusiastic and passionate applause. It doesn't matter if people recognize Abel Smith in front of you. But everyone knows Michael Ovitz. And in the end, that's it for Ovitz. Or invited by Ovitz. Everyone present must bow to Ovitz. This caused enthusiastic and cautious applause, as if they had gone on stage to present an award. "OH!!" Charlize Theron was clapping in cooperation when she suddenly heard Keanu Reeves next to her clapping and shouting: "I remember! I remember who this guy is! No wonder he looks familiar! Wow, he's a super rich man, the type to make the Forbes list!!" It was very loud but Keanu Reeves was there. Charlize Theron and Angelina Jolie can of course hear what Keanu Reeves is saying. Amid endless applause, Angelina Jolie asked Keanu. "Reeves, what are you talking about? Who is this super rich person? Do we have a super rich person here tonight?" Unlike Anne Hathaway, who was accepted into New York University on her own merits. She is also different from Liv Tyler, who is also a second generation star, but her appearance is more restrained. Second generation star Angelina Jolie was not a good daughter since childhood. The film is about a veteran girl from Los Angeles who could wear a leather jacket full of rivets and dye her hair dark purple when she was 12 or 13 years old. At fourteen, she rented a garage with her boyfriend, a punk band, and stayed outside all day, listening to heavy metal music, stimulating her nerves with drugs, and more. In a sense, Angelina Jolie a few years ago, It's a collection of all the bad stereotypes about American girls in the eyes of Chinese people. These women are so ignorant. Angelina Jolie has never paid attention to anything other than the entertainment industry. Of course, I haven't read the latest issue of Forbes so I don't know what Keanu Reeves just said. Charlize Theron really doesn't know what Keanu Reeves means. Recently, she had to run away, busy attending auditions for two movie heroines. He went to San Francisco just to audition for one of them. She has been very busy recently and has not paid attention to news in this field. She also watches Keanu Reeves. Keanu Reeves attracted attention with the curious eyes of two beauties. After learning Abel's identity, the famous actor was extremely surprised and immediately said: "Abel Smith, haven't you heard of it?" "America's Youngest Billionaire, Mr. Youngest Billionaire". "No. 35 on the list of richest people in America and number 51 on the list of richest people in the world!" "Major shareholder and chairman of CAA, key figure in Michael Ovitz's return to CAA." "Forbes has already denounced him. In recent days, because of Michael Ovitz, the Hollywood press has also talked a lot about this super rich man." "Didn't you read the whole newspaper?" Finally, Keanu Reeves filed a complaint. Charlize Theron listened for a while in a trance. She remembered that her assistant mentioned it a few days ago. It's just that Charlize feels that this kind of high-level figure is too far away from her. Moreover, at that time she was too busy to pay much attention to this matter. As for Angelina Jolie, she really doesn't care. As well as acting and searching with enthusiasm while still maintaining your own personality. Angelina Jolie, who doesn't care about the rest. At this time, both of them listened to Keanu Reeves's explanation even though they did not know it before. Now I know that too. Charlize Theron's response was: "Indeed, I was right that night. He is a big man and has status!" Angelina Jolie's mind is filled with "CAA Chairman", "35th richest person in America" ​​and "51st richest person in the world". At that moment the applause stopped. I see Michael Ovitz has resigned and asked Abel Smith to talk to everyone. Charlize et al., Then he saw this tall, handsome, young man, he smiled and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, good evening." "My name is Abe Smith and I'm from San Francisco and Texas." "Yes, as Michael said, I'm his boss. And an investor interested in Hollywood." "Nice to see you here tonight." "I hope that in the future, I or my company will have the opportunity to cooperate with you." "Thank you~" When the voices of the super-rich fell, the applause was even more enthusiastic than when Ovitz had just finished speaking. Everyone just clapped to show Michael Ovitz's face. Now everyone claps enthusiastically because it's in front of everyone. In front of Michael Ovitz there was no Abel Smith. It was a pile of money that smelled of paper and ink, stacked on top of each other. Or the giant crocodile on the head of Michael Ovitz and many other giant Hollywood executives. Or the endless opportunities that Hollywood offers, with its mansions, yachts, luxury cars and dollar bills! realistic Hollywood, What I like most is the kind of existence that can directly bring stimulation to reality. Unfortunately super rich! Warm applause It's so big that the roof of Michael Ovitz's mansion is about to be removed. Charlize Theron was clapping when she noticed Angelina Jolie clapping especially loudly. She also saw Angelina Jolie's beautiful, wild and ferocious eyes, which now exuded the gaze of a hungry female leopard. "Oh~ it's perfect." Charlize Theron heard Angelina Jolie whispering like this. This allowed Charlize Theron, who reacted a bit slowly, to immediately understand Angelina Jolie's intentions and the reason for her appearance. Realizing this, Charlize Theron looked at the young man in front of Ovitz. it also starts to look different. Fortunately, the applause, although enthusiastic, gradually subsided. You can't clap forever, after all palm trees are made of flesh. Even though everyone was having fun. But when Michael Ovitz took over the super-rich and pushed a group of Hollywood executives into a corner. The excited atmosphere and enthusiastic applause from everyone finally ended. "Ha~" Keanu Reeves rubbed his palm, "Just now I thought I was at an Oscar party." He smiled at the two beauties, then saw Angelina Jolie say directly to himself: "Sorry." After that, this wild thick-lipped actress directly left the small circle. Keanu Reeves frowned, feeling a bit strange. Then he immediately heard Charlize Theron, like Angelina Jolie, apologize. Watching Charlize Theron leave, Keanu Reeves could not react. Ten minutes later. Keanu Reeves reacts. Because he suddenly discovered it. Tonight, Single person at reception, Or Hollywood practitioners have male partners, boyfriends or husbands who don't show up. Almost all rushed in one direction. After understanding what's going on. Keanu Reeves, who is also very handsome and is currently one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, couldn't help but curse in his heart: "FXXK! A bunch of shameless lechers! Hmm, like a wolf in heat!"
