America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 127 The She-Wolves of Hollywood

The City of Angels is ablaze with lights at night.

Although there is no row upon row of high-rise buildings in New York.

The lights on Beverly Hills still announce the prosperity of the city.

Here is the largest film industry in the world, where dazzling stars are produced every year, and this is Hollywood.

Every year, countless handsome men and beautiful women flock here to seek their own opportunities.

In the United States and in the world, they are eager to become popular and become those big stars who are admired or reserved or noble or individual.

As long as they can become famous, as long as they can gain a foothold and even develop in Hollywood, a place full of money and money, they don't mind giving everything!
Wait, you said they were doing it for the show and for the movie business?

Of course, everyone would say that, wouldn't they?
Beverly Hills.

Mr. Michael Ovitz, CEO of Innovation Elite Culture Company.

Tonight, he is holding a small to medium dance party at his villa in Beverly Hills.

This dance party mainly faced many Hollywood artists signed by CAA.

The VIP guests are the top executives of the major Hollywood giants who have a good relationship with CAA.

Although today's CAA is no longer the momentum that swept Hollywood in the early 90s.

But there is no doubt that the innovative package brokerage model, coupled with the reputation and the number of senior partners accumulated over the years.

The CAA company is still the undisputed leader in the Hollywood industry in terms of entertainment management.

Facing the reception initiated by the head of the industry overlord.

In Hollywood, those who signed CAA.Or celebrities who have a good relationship with CAA, basically all of them came.

For example not long ago,
At the Four Seasons Hotel in downtown San Francisco, I saw Charlize Theron from Abel's side from afar.

Charlize Theron has entered the circle and is 25 years old this year.

The brokerage company she signed with at the beginning was a small company that mainly relied on finding newcomers to gain a foothold.

There are many such companies in Hollywood, and they all dream of becoming giants like CAA.

But most of them will be abandoned by the stars after they are dug out and become famous.

Charlize Theron also made such a choice. In 1996, she left her original brokerage company and joined CAA Creative Elite Culture Broker.

Since then, she has officially become famous and film appointments have continued.

Today, she is one of the second-tier stars in Hollywood.

There is only one step away from the front line.

As long as it can stage a blockbuster, or get Oscar recognition.

Those years of accumulation will allow her to progress from the second line to the first line.

There are not many such opportunities, and she is very cautious, and she is also working hard to find opportunities.

A reception for a big man in the Return of the King circle like Michael Ovitz.

Naturally, she would not let it go and came dressed up.

Just like the similar receptions I attended a few years ago.

Charlize Theron is on the court with ease, dealing with the looks, greetings, receptions and covetousness from all directions.

However, what she valued the most was actually the host of tonight's reception——Michael Ovitz.

Michael went to Disney when Charlize Theron joined CAA.

Wait for Charlize Theron to gain support from CAA and gain a firm foothold in Hollywood.

Michael Ovitz, who wanted to return to CAA, was severely rejected.

So that Charlize Theron basically didn't know Michael Ovitz, the former Hollywood mogul.

If Michael Ovitz does not return to caa, or just disappears.

But Michael Ovitz is back.

Charlize Theron for her own benefit, for the stepping stone to the front line.

She had to deal with Michael Ovitz.

After all, although caa does not produce resources, it is the best resource intermediary in the circle.

Is the best resource mover.

When actors like Charlize Theron compete for resources.

Brokerage companies such as caa can often play a great role.

Because they know the executives of Hollywood giants very well.

Can do what one likes, can seduce with interests, can deceive the superior and the inferior, and can practice deceit.

The vast majority of Hollywood actors need the ability of brokerage companies.

This can help actors get better opportunities, better remuneration, and more exposure opportunities.

During the reception,
Charlize Theron is always looking for opportunities.

She wanted to be right in front of Michael Ovitz.

Unfortunately, from the beginning of the reception, Michael Ovitz has been chatting and laughing with many executives of Hollywood giants.

No chance of Charlize Theron touching.

When Charlize Theron temporarily gave up and chatted at the reception, she reappeared.

She suddenly discovered,

Michael Ovitz was not on the court for some reason.

The organizer of the reception was nowhere to be seen.

This is rarely seen in Hollywood receptions.

Generally speaking, the convener who initiates the reception.

Most of the time, it should appear in a position where everyone can easily find it.

Charlize Theron swept a pair of beautiful eyes.

There is no one in the reception hall.

There is no outdoor cold dining area either.

In the outdoor swimming pool next to the buffet area, Michael Ovitz was also not found.

Where did you go?

You won't be with any bitch, go into the room, right?
When she thought about it.

A gentle voice sounded behind her.

"Hi Charlize, you look stunning tonight."

Charlize Theron turned around and saw her friend Keanu Reeves appearing behind her with a glass of red wine.

Charlize Theron showed a faint smile on her face, "Ha~ good evening. Reeves, thank you for your compliment."

Hollywood actors who were born in a non-American country and hold dual citizenships have a small circle in Beverly Hills.

Charlize Theron is a dual citizen of South Africa and the United States, and Keanu Reeves is a dual citizen of Canada and the United States.

Both of them have participated in the gatherings of this small circle, so even if they have not cooperated at this time.

The two are also considered friends, and when they meet at a reception, they will naturally chat a little more.

Keanu Reeves in 2000 can be said to be in the moment of glory.

Keanu Reeves gained fame and fortune with the release and popularity of "The Matrix" last year.

For a while, his status in Hollywood.

There is even a faint aura of more than two Toms.

Compared with Charlize Theron, who is more than enough in the second line and not enough in the first line, Keanu Reeves has a higher status in the circle.

However, no matter how high the status is, it can't change the reality that Keanu Reeves is still just a famous actor.

In any case, it can't compare to the top figure in the food chain in circles like Michael Ovitz.

Charlize Theron was ostensibly chatting with Keanu Reeves.

Actually, Charlize Theron was looking for Michael Ovitz.

It's just that Michael Ovitz doesn't show up now, and she can only chat with friends to pass the time.

I was talking about Keanu Reeves' crime thriller "Justice Watch", which was just released in September this year.

Charlize Theron suddenly saw Keanu Reeves stop talking, pointing in the direction of her left side, and whispered in surprise:

"Look over there, Charlize. Over there, look who Michael brought here. Oh, that guy looks so tall, and young, and handsome!"

At first, Charlize Theron was a little puzzled.

When she turned her head and looked in that direction.

You know what Keanu Reeves is talking about.

Because there, the garden entrance of the villa.

The host of this reception tonight, Mr. Michael Ovitz, CEO of caa.

He was walking in front, with his right hand slightly extended, with a somewhat respectful and gentle attitude.

In that state, he looked like a hotel doorman, leading the way for a tall and handsome young man behind him.

"Who's this guy?" Charlize Theron heard Keanu Reeves whisper:

"Make Michael so important? The super rookie that caa wants to promote?"

Unlike her friend Keanu Reeves, Charlize Theron already recognized the young man.

She wanted to say that she had met the young man once.

Haven't spoken yet.

Charlize Theron heard it, and a slightly hoarse and wild female voice came from the side.

"Maybe it's because Michael wants to promote a fresh meat idol like Leonardo after returning to CAA?"

Charlize Theron turned slightly sideways, and saw that the person speaking was one of the fiercest competitors in Hollywood.

Angelina Jolie won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.

"Good evening, Charlize." Angelina Jolie was very active at the reception all night.

Same with Charlize Theron.

But the whole night, the two of them hardly spoke a word.

Until now, the two are in the same position.

The very competitive actress, the first time to have a conversation at the reception tonight.

"Good evening, Angelina." Charlize Theron smiled.

at this time,
Michael Ovitz has put that in the spotlight.

The young man who made Michael Ovitz look like a doorman, took to the middle of the reception.

Then Angelina Jolie and Charlize Theron, among others, heard Michael Ovitz declaring:

"Everyone, please forgive me for my brief disappearance just now."

"Actually, I didn't leave just now."

"I just went out for a while, went out to meet my boss!"

"That's right, you heard me right, my boss!"

"He is the largest shareholder of CAA and the chairman of CAA's board of directors. At the same time, 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 is full of emotion, with his hands raised high, and he uses a soprano singer's aria-like voice.

In front of hundreds of people, shout out the identity of the young man in front of him.

While his hands were raised high, his voice fell.

There was warm and unrestrained applause throughout the reception.

Regardless of whether you recognize this Abel Smith in front of you or not.

But everyone knows Michael Ovitz.

And basically, it's all for Ovitz.

Or be invited by Ovitz.

Everyone present must give Ovitz face.

This gave rise to applause, neat and enthusiastic, as if they had come to the awarding scene of some awards.

"Wow!!!"

Charlize Theron was applauding very cooperatively, and suddenly heard Keanu Reeves next to him clapping and shouting:
"I remembered! I remembered who this guy is! No wonder it looks familiar!! Wow, this is a super rich man, the one with his name on the Forbes list!!!"

It was noisy, but Keanu Reeves was there.

Charlize Theron and Angelina Jolie, of course, can hear Keanu Reeves.

Amidst the unceasing applause, Angelina Jolie asked Keanu.

"Reeves, what are you talking about? What super rich? We have super rich here tonight?"

It is different from Anne Hathaway who was admitted to New York University by her own ability.

It is also different from Liv Tyler, who is also the second generation of stars, but is more restrained on the surface.

Angelina Jolie, the second-generation star, has not been a good girl since she was a child.

This is a senior Los Angeles girl who can wear a studded leather jacket and dye her hair deep purple when she is twelve or thirteen years old.

When she was 14, she rented a garage with her boyfriend in a punk band, stayed out all day, listened to heavy metal music, pumped her nerves with drugs and that kind of thing.

In a sense,
Angelina Jolie a few years ago,

It is a collection of all the bad stereotypes of American girls in the eyes of the Chinese.

Such women are ignorant and incompetent.

Angelina Jolie has never paid attention to things outside of the entertainment industry.

Naturally, I haven't read the latest issue of Forbes, so I don't know what Keanu Reeves just said.

Charlize Theron actually doesn't know what Keanu Reeves means.

Recently, she is on the run, busy participating in auditions for two movie heroines.

Appeared in San Francisco earlier, just to audition for one of them.

She has been very busy recently and has not paid attention to the news in this regard.

She also watches Keanu Reeves.

Keanu Reeves noticed the curious eyes of the two beauties.

After discovering Abel's identity, the popular actor who was very surprised immediately said:

"Abe Smith, haven't you heard of it?"

"America's Youngest Billionaire, Youngest Billionaire."

"No. 35 on the list of the richest people in the United States, and No. 51 on the list of the world's richest people!"

"The major shareholder and chairman of caa company, the key figure to let Michael Ovitz return to caa."

"Forbes reported him before. In recent days, because of Michael Ovitz, newspapers in Hollywood have also reported a lot on this super rich man."

"Don't you all read the newspaper?"

In the end, Keanu Reeves complained.

Charlize Theron was in a trance for a while.

She remembered that the assistant had told her about this in recent days.

It's just that Charlize felt that this kind of top-level big shot was too far away from her.

In addition, she was too busy at the time, so she didn't pay too much attention.

As for Angelina Jolie, she really doesn't care about that.

In addition to acting and pursuing excitement, while maintaining one's own personality.

Angelina Jolie has little interest in anything else.

At this time, the two listened to Keanu Reeves' explanation, even if they didn't know it before.

Know it now.

Charlize Theron's reaction was - "Sure enough, I was right that night, he is indeed a big guy with status!"

Angelina Jolie's mind is full of "caa chairman", "the 35th richest man in the United States", and "the 51st richest man in the world".

At this moment the applause faded away.

I saw that Michael Ovitz gave up his seat and asked Abel Smith to talk to everyone.

Charlize et al.,
I also saw this tall, handsome, young and excessive man, smiling and saying:
"Good evening, gentlemen, ladies, gentlemen, and ladies."

"I'm Abel Smith and I just came from San Francisco and Texas."

"That's right. Like Michael said, I'm his boss. And an investor who's interested in Hollywood."

"It's a pleasure meeting you all here tonight."

"I hope that in the future, I or my company will have the opportunity to cooperate with you."

"Thank you~"

As the voice of the super rich fell, there was even more enthusiastic applause than after Ovitz had finished speaking just now.

Everyone applauded just now to show Michael Ovitz face.

Now everyone applauds vigorously because it is in everyone's eyes.

It wasn't Abe Smith standing in front of Michael Ovitz.

It's a pile of money that smells like oily paper and ink, piled up to the top of the head.

Or the giant alligator that stands above Michael Ovitz and many other Hollywood executives.

Or the unlimited opportunities in Hollywood, with mansions, yachts, luxury cars, and dollar bills!
real hollywood,

What I like the most is this kind of existence that can directly bring stimulation to reality.

Oh the super rich! !

warm applause,
It was so big that the roof of Michael Ovitz's villa would be lifted off.

Charlize Theron clapped and noticed Angelina Jolie was clapping especially hard.

She also saw that Angelina Jolie's beautiful wild and aggressive eyes were like a hungry leopard in estrus.

"Oh~ it's perfect."

Charlize Theron heard Angelina Jolie whispering like this.

This made Charlize Theron, who was a little slow to react, instantly realize Angelina Jolie's intentions and the reason for her appearance.

Realizing this, Charlize Theron looked at the young man in front of Ovitz.

It's starting to look different too.

Fortunately, although the applause was enthusiastic, it gradually died down.

It is impossible to applaud forever, after all, palms are made of meat.

Even if everyone is very excited.

But when Michael Ovitz took the super rich and led a group of executives of Hollywood giants to the corner.

Everyone's excited mood and warm applause finally came to an end.

"Ha~" Keanu Reeves rubbed his palms, "Just now I almost thought that I was at the Oscars awards party."

He smiled and looked at the two beauties, but saw Angelina Jolie directly said to himself: "Excuse me".

Then this wild actress with thick lips left the small circle directly.

Keanu Reeves frowned, feeling a little strange.

Immediately afterwards he heard Charlize Theron, like Angelina Jolie, say sorry to himself.

Watching Charlize Theron leave, Keanu Reeves couldn't react.

ten minutes later.

Keanu Reeves reacted.

Because he suddenly found out.

tonight,

Those singles at the reception,
Or female Hollywood practitioners whose boyfriends, boyfriends, husbands are not here.

Almost all rushed in one direction.

After figuring out what's going on.

Keanu Reeves, who is also very handsome and is currently a first-line Hollywood star, couldn't help cursing in his heart——

"FXXK! A bunch of shameless bitches! Hmph, like she-wolves in heat!"
