Chapter 369 I'm Not A Casual Person

"Mr. China, please respect yourself. I am not the kind of person you think. Thank you for your help and dinner just now!" Elizabeth said, getting up and walking to the door.

Su Chen didn't stop her.

As a result, as soon as he reached the door, he heard knocking on the door again.

Elizabeth looked out through the cat's eyes, then quickly retracted her body, and turned her head to look at Su Chen, with a bit of pleading in her eyes.

Su Chen picked up the coke on the table and took a sip, then looked back at her, but didn't move.

Don't look at how pitiful this woman is now, maybe someone is waiting to rush in and extort money.

But the woman didn't open the door, but slipped back quickly and said in a low voice, "Mr. China, Toby is here, please help me, I'll find a friend to lend you money tomorrow..."

"Go to the bathroom and hide." Su Chen said.

"Oh, good." Elizabeth quickly walked into the bathroom and closed the door.

Su Chen walked to the door and looked outside with his cat's eyes, just in time to see a few men walking in the corridor, knocking on the door next to him from time to time.

After a while, he disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Su Chen didn't bother to care whether these men were found by Elizabeth's boyfriend, he returned to the bedroom, picked up his luggage, slipped out the window, and lived in the next room.

When I checked in, I opened two rooms.

He was just worried that he would fall into the fairy dance, but it doesn't matter if he is the fairy dance now, anyway, he has already left that woman behind.

Come to the next room, take a comfortable bath, then lie down and rest.

Elizabeth, who was next door, hid in the bathroom for about ten minutes before carefully opening the door and looking into the living room, but she didn't see Su Chen.

She took a deep breath, tiptoed out of the bathroom, and when she passed the living room, she secretly looked inside, but she didn't see Su Chen.

She was suddenly a little surprised, why did Mr. China disappear?
By the way, Su Chen next door didn't know, and didn't care about Elizabeth, surprised or not, he slept in the next room until dawn.

The next day, after getting up and washing up, I called Allen first, then went downstairs, had breakfast outside, and went directly to the company.

……

When he came to the door of the company, he saw that Alan was already waiting at the door of the company.

After receiving a call from the company's big boss, Allen came to wait early, afraid that when Su Chen came, the guard would not let him in.

After all, the big boss has only been here once since he acquired the company.

"Happy New Year." Su Chen smiled and said, "Dude, are you in a hurry?"

Allen greeted him: "Boss, happy new year. After receiving your call, I naturally didn't dare to neglect, and went directly to the company door to wait, so as not to cause any trouble by the guard who has never seen you."

"Man, you did a good job." Su Chen nodded: "Let's go up first, the damn weather is too cold, I need a cup of warm coffee."

When he arrived at the company's office, Allen made a cup of coffee for Su Chen, then took out a lot of documents, and said, "Boss, this is last year's annual report, please read it."

Su Chen took a sip of coffee, and didn't read it directly, but asked, "Dude, tell me the general content of our company's annual report last year and our plan for this year."

He didn't want to be fooled by a bunch of papers.

"Okay boss, last year, our company and other companies co-produced, produced and distributed films such as "Legend of Magic", "Into the Dragon's Pool", "Emerald", "Graduation from Fighting Stars"... Next, we Ready to shoot "The Fly", Robert Lip has already got the right to adapt it, and is going to invite Curt Newman to direct it."

Allen reported his work seriously: "In addition, we..."

Balabara said a lot, some of which Su Chen had read, some of which he hadn't.

After Allen finished his report, he asked, "In addition to these, we have..."

"No need buddy, you've done a good job, I'll read your annual report carefully, and the company's development will follow the current pace, buddy, I believe in your ability."

Su Chen said: "Although Cameron spends a lot of money, some shots are really good. As long as I don't make something like "Cleopatra", I won't take care of it."

"Okay boss, but I don't know if I should set up an office for you alone?" Allen asked, "An office like Mr. Zanuck's."

Su Chen was speechless for a moment.

Because in Hollywood, "hidden rules" are an open secret.

And so it is, because that's how Hollywood directors and producers cast their lead actresses: whoever has the biggest breasts, or whoever he wants to sleep on the most—often on the same audition couch.

The word "unspoken rule" is called "casting couch" in English, which literally means "the sofa in the audition room".

At the end of Zanuck's tenure at Fox, he started the road of modern "hidden rules".

This old pervert likes to have "meetings". For many years, his office started at four o'clock every afternoon, and all kinds of little stars appeared in turn.

Louis B. Mayer, one of the founders of MGM, is a daunting name for many new actresses.

Like many major studios, MGM's contract has a so-called "moral clause", the purpose of which is to make stars (especially female stars) into untouchable idols.

The "morality clause" that this guy signed with a female artist stipulates that female celebrities cannot marry!
Moreover, MGM attaches great importance to the fact that female stars must maintain a virgin image.

Judy Garland had to abort her fetus while filming "The Wizard of Oz" because "the audience loves her because she looks like a child, not like a mother."

Listen, is this human?

Otherwise, why do these ghosts like to run a movie company so much?
Joan Collins once bluntly revealed that the reason why she watched the lead actress of "Cleopatra" slip away was because she refused to sleep with her boss.

The boss she talks about is Zanuck.

It is said that at the instigation of her husband, Rita Hayworth made frequent sacrifices to big shots, and she only rejected Columbia Pictures boss Harry Cohen, who immediately let her taste the bitter fruit.

From the 1910s to the present, it has never been a mediocre person who can make a fortune in Hollywood.

They either have great looks, or endow spiritual artistic genius, or both.

In this Vanity Fair, it is inevitable that there will be embarrassing accidents.

Some Hollywood female stars, while God carved their beautiful faces, were also written with a tragic fate by the devil.

"Dude, I'm not that kind of person. I invest in the film industry because I really love this industry, not for female artists." Su Chen said solemnly: "What I have to tell you is that I am not just a random person... "

Before he could finish his sentence, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in." Allen said, frowning.

The door was pushed open, and the secretary came in and said, "President, I don't want to disturb you, because Miss Judy Foster is here..."
