American Peanuts

Chapter 194: Integrate in another way, Christine’s friend

Facing Sophia's questioning, the two men looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

"Daughter, you have to know that working outside is not as happy as at home. When you stay in the office every day, you have to face questioning from your boss. If you mess up, you have to be reprimanded." Stallone shook his head, still disapproving. This proposal.

"But I need to go outside and see it after all."

"Don't worry, Dad will recommend you a better place." Stallone reiterated again.

"But..." Sophia still wanted to fight for it.

"It's nothing to worry about. Your mother has given enough face today, and you should learn from her." Stallone waved his hand and completely ended the topic.

"As for Mr. Charlie..." Stallone turned his head to Charlie, "I have another merciless request."

"Sistine, you should stand up now and let Mr. Charlie see." Stallone suddenly said to his second daughter.

Sistine did not resist like her sister, and stood up and walked to the side of the table where Charlie was sitting.

"Look at her, she has grown into a beautiful girl now. She is also studying at the University of Southern California, majoring in communication. What do you think of her? Are you satisfied?" Stallone looked at Charlie with some expectation. said.

???

What kind of problem is this? A business partner of his father is commenting on his daughter in front of him.
Charlie thought for a moment and seemed to guess something.

Then I heard Sistine's old father talking: "She decided to follow the path of her mother. She signed a contract with IMG in 06. She had also appeared on the cover of "Glamour" and the Russian version of "Elle" before. She will Become a great model.”

"But I think she should be developed more comprehensively, what do you think?" Stallone then expressed his intention.

"Of course. In fact, there are many movies under PB that are suitable for her to act in. These are trivial things." Charlie agreed without hesitation.

Stallone knew that this proposal was a bit abrupt. After all, he and Charlie had just met, but for the sake of his daughter's future, he decided to save face.

"Yes, there is a new force in Hollywood that has suddenly emerged. It has multiple projects and several new Marvel movies are in preparation." Stallone mentioned deliberately.

"If possible, can we leave a place for her in the sequel to Iron Man?"

The remake of Iron Man 1 was sold beyond imagination, and the sequel's attention can be imagined. If Sistine can play a role in it, there is no doubt that it will directly knock on the door of Hollywood.

Seeing Stallone looking at him expectantly, plus his wife Jennifer Flavin, and their three daughters, Charlie nodded without much hesitation.

"I can leave her a supporting role in the film." Then, in front of the family, he called Kevin Feige.

"I have a young girl here. Is there a role in Iron Man suitable for her, US agent? Kate Mara... Just deal with it this way and let her change to another role." Charlie put down the phone.

Flavin's tense expression on the opposite side relaxed instantly, and then showed relief.

"Thank you so much. I'll toast you personally." She took the initiative to raise her glass.

Looking at his wife's earnest expression, Stallone burst into laughter.

For Charlie, this is just an insignificant small role, but it has earned the gratitude of the Stallone family. Such a deal is certainly worthwhile.

As for another actress named Kate Mara, her family background is even much stronger than that of Stallone.Hollywood is like this. Relationships are intertwined. There are many backdoor ways to rely on relationships. It has even formed a monopoly-style clan. Today you help me, tomorrow I will help you, and they are connected with each other.In the final analysis, of course, Jewish origin cannot be avoided. More than half of the eight major Hollywood studios were created by Jews. This resource advantage continues to this day...

The characteristic of this phenomenon is that there are many sisters and siblings in Hollywood, such as the Mara sisters, the Phoenix brothers, and the Gyllenhaal sisters. Their parents are either big capitalists or have deep roots in Hollywood. These people have inherited The mantles of their fathers are sometimes combined with each other, and their descendants will naturally become the next generation of Hollywood trendsetters, and they will be passed down like this.

Since it cannot be overturned, perhaps it can be integrated into it through blood...

"Sofia doesn't seem happy." Charlie looked at Sophia who was unhappy.

Suddenly hearing her name coming out of Charlie's mouth, Sophia immediately raised her head and forced a smile, as if she wanted to say something else, but looking at her father's expression, she finally didn't say anything.

"This is the path of my own choice. In fact, Sophia is more suitable for development in Hollywood, but she doesn't like this kind of life in the spotlight. She may change her mind after a while." Stallone shrugged.

In fact, her mother originally wanted Sophia to sign a contract with IMG, but she was not happy.

"Actually, it's not a bad thing to be an intern with me. She will be fully taken care of, and I can let her work with the magazine's chief editor. In the future, PB magazine will also change the content of multiple national editions around the world, which will require a lot of talents. ." Charlie looked at Stallone.

At its peak, PB magazine had eighteen national editions. Now there are only eleven countries left. Currently, the distribution work is contracted by publishers in local countries. Charlie plans to withdraw them one by one after the contracts expire, using this as a fulcrum. , leveraging the local entertainment industry.

"This is too troublesome for you..." Stallone seemed hesitant.

The reason why he chose to invite Charlie over at a family dinner was because of Sistine's role, and now Charlie Rossi obviously has the idea of ​​​​further help, which is somewhat beyond his expectations.

"You are friends, right? Charlie is willing to support your idea with real money, and he will take good care of our two daughters in the future." Flavin suddenly spoke at this time.

As a bystander, she was even a little anxious.

You must know that upstarts like Charlie Rossi need friends the most right now.If you help your husband today, your husband will help him tomorrow. Over time, the relationship will gradually become more familiar. Being able to gain Charlie Rossi's friendship is not a bad thing no matter how you look at it.

Seeing that things had turned around, Sophia immediately seized the opportunity and said: "Whether you agree or not, I will go there."

Facing the pressure exerted by his wife and daughter, Stallone could only nod in the end.

Towards evening, the Stallones dropped Charlie and Bob off at the door.

"Why don't you stay for dinner?" Stallone asked with an embarrassed look.

"I have plans for the evening, so I won't stop here. In addition, the funds for the film will be available soon. My personal energy is limited. If you encounter any problems, you can always contact Bob."

Stallone nodded repeatedly: "I will start contacting the actors tomorrow to prepare for filming. If necessary, I can even sign an investment and gambling agreement with PB Pictures."

Charlie shook his head: "There is no need to let unnecessary pressure interfere with your shooting creation. I will support you no matter what."

Stallone's expression seemed a little excited. He was melancholy for a while and then said, "If it's convenient, I'd like to tell you something personal."

The two then came to a corner and Stallone lowered his voice.

"I dropped out of school when I was a teenager. I have no education. I have two daughters with you, so I will definitely cause trouble for you. Please bear with me. Don't worry about the movie. I will never let you down. In addition, if there is anything I can do Just ask if you need me, but in short, please take good care of my two daughters."

Facing his old father's instructions, Charlie could clearly feel his care for his daughter.

Then Charlie and Stallone rejoined everyone and walked out of the manor gate, but Sophia insisted on sending Charlie off again.

"You really don't want to have dinner at my house?" Sophia stared straight at Charlie with her big bright eyes.

"I made an appointment with other people tonight." Charlie said. Even if he didn't make an appointment, he wouldn't stay here for dinner. Flavin's cooking skills are really not very good. It can be seen that he has hardly cooked. Let a retired person It is indeed difficult for a model to become a housewife.

"Who are you dating?" Sophia asked suddenly.

"friend."

"Boy or girl?" Sofia asked again.

Charlie thought for a while: "Girl."

Sophia pursed her lips and said with a broken smile: "You are quite busy, you have to leave me a contact information, otherwise how can I contact you?"

Charlie thought for a while and left her another number.

"Have a good time, sir. I'll see you in the company then." She said happily after getting Charlie's number.

·
"So this is the reason why you are late?" Kristen Stewart stuffed the chips into her mouth, chewed them, and stared at Charlie with her smart eyes.

She combed her long hair to one side, looking royal and sassy. It was obviously winter. She was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt underneath her leather jacket. Her wrists and neck were covered with metal ornaments. It looked like she had just The female rock star who walked off the stage had a T-shirt with a burning pattern similar to the word "ji" printed on the chest, but it was actually a variant of the word circulated in Japan.

The roaring music around made Charlie a little uncomfortable, and he knew that the place where Christine invited him was probably full of noise.

This is an underground bar. Under the dim light, you can see a huge sheep-headed skull hanging on the wall behind Christine.

"If there's nothing else, I have to go." Charlie really didn't want to waste his life here. In the afternoon, Charlie, who was worrying about what excuse to use to escape, happened to see the message from Stuart, so he agreed.

"You have to stay, I will perform on stage later. Have you forgotten Taylor Swift's promise?" Kristen shook her head immediately.

Charlie regretted introducing Kristen to Taylor. As a singer, he did not talk to Kristen about music creation in private, which ignited Kristen's rock and roll soul.

"Then start quickly." Charlie said.

Due to work reasons, Taylor was unable to attend in person, so Charlie could only support him on his behalf. This was the agreement between the two.

"It's not all here yet." Christine looked at the phone.

After a while, the two friends she invited finally arrived.

"Mr. Charlie, I didn't expect you to be here!" A young actress with the same dark brown hair as Christine came to the table and first noticed Charlie Rossi sitting across the table.

"I just said that we know each other. Do you believe me now?" Christine raised her chin towards her friend and said with dignity.

"It's really unimaginable. Sir, my name is Ashley Greene, and I play the role of Edward's sister in the film." She said with some restraint.

No wonder Charlie felt familiar, this was the protagonist and supporting actress in the movie, but in the movie she had short hair that had been permed and dyed, but now she has long hair, so Charlie couldn't tell the difference for a while.

Compared with Christine, whose face is still a bit raw, she looks more mature. The makeup in the film somewhat suppresses her appearance. At this moment, in the chaotic and flickering lights of the underground bar, her delicate face is looming.

As we all know, the female supporting characters are better than the female protagonists. They are often more reasonable and their looks are not bad at all.

The same is true in the Twilight movies. Perhaps Christine's only advantage is that special kind of youthfulness.

She sat down on her own and explained that the reason for being late was because of the traffic jam.

While waiting, the two started chatting.

A bored Charlie listened to the two talking about Christine's latest tattoo.

"I don't know what this means, but it looks pretty good." Kristen raised her arm to show her the position near her armpit.

"It's Chinese." Ashley Greene saw it.

"Let me see." Charlie became interested as soon as he heard this, but when he saw the specific tattoo design, his expression immediately froze.

"You don't understand Chinese, do you?" Christine noticed something from Charlie's expression.

"The writing is pretty good, don't write it next time." Charlie was noncommittal.

"What exactly does that mean?"

"You better not know."

"Forget it, it's pretty good-looking anyway." Christine stopped asking.

It is worth mentioning that the word "dung" is indeed relatively symmetrical and complex. There is a reason why foreigners like it.

"Speaking of this, I'm also going to get a Chinese character tattooed on my chest. The meaning of this character is particularly meaningful, and it means following your heart." Ashley Greene continued, "So I'm going to get it tattooed on my chest."

"By the way, boss, have you contacted my father?" Christine remembered something and asked.

"Yes, a new reality show." Charlie had discussed this matter with Thomas before.

Why didn't Kardashian contact him? Just in case, Charlie sent a text message to Kayla and asked her to get in touch with Kardashian tomorrow.

During the chat, the last guest finally arrived, also an actor from Twilight, named Nikki Reed.

If Christine was lonely before, at least she has found friends now. The three of them are all young actors on the set, and they are similar in age, so they have a lot to talk about.

After all, the filming of the movie is coming to an end and it will be officially released around the middle of the year.

"I have to go backstage to prepare. Watch me overwhelm the audience later!" Kristen got up and went backstage to prepare.

Charlie looked at Ashley Greene across from him with great interest, thinking that he was here, so he mentioned the signing to the two actresses.

"Really? That would be my honor." Ashley Greene's eyes were full of light.

Being valued by the boss personally is not an ordinary contract signing. If you can catch his eye, future film contracts will not be easy to come by. This is the fast track of life in an absolute sense.

The premise is to gain his favor.

Just as she was thinking about how to express herself, Christine was already on stage.

Everything was as Charlie expected, Christine's performance was a disaster, full of hoarse weird singing and inexplicable bass melody, choruses with no pleasant feeling combined with the "noise" bar The names fit perfectly.

This forced Charlie to find an excuse to leave midway.

"I'll ask Brown to contact you about the signing. I'll focus on filming now and we'll discuss the rest in detail after the movie is released." Charlie left in a hurry.

When he walked out of the bar, he saw several young people taking pictures of their own limited edition Bentley. Charlie walked over and opened the car door, and heard the conversation between the two people in the car stop suddenly.

"After meeting Jennifer Lawrence tomorrow, are you leaving Los Angeles?" Keira said.

"Maybe two days," Charlie said, looking out at the brightly lit streets of Los Angeles.

Victoria will be here tomorrow afternoon, and there is also the Kardashian matter, who knows if anything will go wrong.

"Do we still need to finalize other actors?" Keira asked again. Many times, Charlie did not disclose his detailed plans in detail, and often notified himself one day in advance.

Charlie recalled what Kevin Feige had given him: "Oops, I left Eva Green behind."
