American Peanuts

Chapter 196 Legal Beauty, this variety show is outrageous

Looking at the text message sent on the phone, although it is only a short line, the meaning goes without saying. I recall the various small actions and intentional or unintentional contacts made by Jennifer Lawrence since entering the room...

"Mr. Charlie, I can see that your conversation with Zani Florence was not pleasant." Seeing Charlie walk out of the office, Bob got up and greeted him.

"Yes, I have to leave now." Charlie shook his head.

"Do you want to go back? Do you need me to send a car?"

"No." Charlie shook his head.Arriving downstairs at the headquarters, Charlie, who walked out of the office building, looked at the Palm Hotel just around the corner and stepped forward, but the direction he was heading towards was the car driven by Gal Gadot.

"Go home, it seems I really have to go back and catch up on some sleep." Charlie yawned.

Of course he would not accept Jennifer Lawrence's invitation, it would be too dangerous.

She is not trustworthy now, and he doesn't want to be in this kind of relationship with his eldest cousin. Who knows what actions and demands she will make if she gets involved with him, so it is better to maintain the status quo.

Time passed by, and Jennifer, who had been waiting in the room for half an hour, stood up and couldn't help frowning and muttering in a low voice: "What a coward."

When I got home, I heard some noise. It turned out that three South American beauties had returned from Las Vegas.

"Look at my new shoes." As soon as Claudia saw Charlie, she couldn't wait to stretch out her right foot, a high-heeled shoe with a transparent crystal heel, white upper, and crystal clear toes.

Presumably, they also used Charlie's secondary card, and now the three of them share a secondary card.

"It looks like a freshly baked edible-grade product." Charlie held her waist.

Claudia moved her face closer and kissed Charlie on the cheek.

"Wonderful metaphor, I'm actually quite hungry."

Charlie saw the two people behind her looking at her eagerly...

Who is Jennifer Lawrence?Don't ask, I'm not familiar with it.

Charlie, who was enjoying the passion of South America, soon forgot about his eldest cousin.

It was only at night, when he saw Victoria arriving alone with a suitcase, that Charlie realized that he had gone too far.

"I was going to pick you up."

"Yes, you were going to pick me up, but you forgot." She saw the three Latin beauties sitting on the sofa behind Charlie, craning their necks to look at her, and she quickly realized something.

"No wonder, it turns out that there is a gentle town, no wonder you leave your sister behind." She said sourly.

Even at her age, she still likes to play this kind of sibling play. She has a really special hobby.

However, it happened to save Charlie from the introduction. He was not prepared to tell anything about the Rossi family, so he just followed the flow and introduced them to the three of them.

The three of them also immediately showed respect for Victoria.

"Are they siblings? But you two don't look alike." Carolina couldn't help but question.

"Not a blood relative, but better than a blood relative, are you right?" She looked at Charlie.

"of course."

Considering her status, Charlie didn't mind having such a half-sister at all.

"I have to coax him to sleep tonight, just like I did when I was a kid, so you guys don't want to come." She glanced at the three Latin women.

"Uh……"

Three people, I look at you, you look at me.

This sentence obviously exceeded their thinking scope, making them unable to answer.

"According to local laws in California, your ex-husband Royston Langdon has been suspected of illegally misappropriating property. This can be used to initiate a lawsuit against him." Victoria, who put on a suit and skirt, looked like a member of the legal family.

Early the next morning, Charlie made an appointment with Liv Tyler, and the three met in a coffee shop.

Liv Tyler, who was sitting opposite her at the moment, looked a little distressed: "But this will definitely prolong the progress of the lawsuit. Is there a faster way?"

"This is the fastest way. Litigation is just a means for us. The ultimate goal is to reach an out-of-court settlement with him. Although we can't help you get everything back, at least we can get some of it back."

"I only want the custody of my child, nothing else matters to me." Liv Tyler's eyes were full of determination.

"That would be easier. If everything goes well, I can get it done within a month." Victoria tried to say.

"Within a month?" Liv Tyler's eyes flashed, this was much earlier than she expected.

"Yes."

As soon as the barrister appeared on the stage, he was indeed extraordinary. Within 10 minutes, he made things easier than ever before, and the rest was execution.

Liv Tyler decided to start collecting relevant information today. Before leaving, she asked Charlie to see her off, obviously she had something to say to him.

"Thank you, Mr. Charlie, if it weren't for you, I don't know what I would do."

"No need to thank you. I am doing this for the smooth progress of the filming. Have you ever considered coming back in the future?"

"Of course, since I want to take care of my daughter, I have to give her the best life, that is, to get busy and lack of company for her."

"Yes, this is inevitable, but I can take care of you. If you encounter any problems in the future, please remember to contact me." Charlie made a phone call gesture.

Liv Tyler was taken aback, but did not refuse.

"I see." She nodded.

After watching her leave, Charlie returned to his seat.

"Liv Tyler, the actress who starred in Lord of the Rings, I think you want to be King Aragorn." Victoria was angry.

"Orphans and widowed mothers must be taken care of by someone." Charlie did not shy away from being told what he was thinking.

"Oh, so I flew all the way here just to make myself a tool for single mothers?" Victoria twitched her eyebrows.

"I'm not begging you to come. I'm just calling you to ask if you have any suitable lawyer friends." Charlie didn't care, and looked like he was getting a good deal.

"Tch, then I have to tell you the truth. The day after tomorrow, my father arranged a date for me to have dinner with a handsome man in Los Angeles. That's why I came here." Victoria crossed her arms and seemed to care about Charlie. Revenge, he said angrily.

"Good luck then."

"Don't be so anxious. I will take you to the appointment the day after tomorrow so that you can watch the two of us communicating, just like we are at this moment." Victoria looked directly at Charlie.

Charlie shook his head: "Unfortunately, I was already in San Francisco at that time."

"What are you going to San Francisco for?" Victoria was caught off guard and asked hurriedly.

"Apple's shareholder meeting, you should know this, the Industrial Development Fund."

"F**K, send Marcello's brother over, you have other plans."

"Stop making trouble, this is business."

"I am the patriarch, you must listen to me!"

"Sorry, there shouldn't be anyone here, right?" A voice interrupted the two of them.

Victoria looked up and saw a blond woman wearing a round-brimmed hat and sunglasses sitting across from them.

When she took off her glasses, she revealed a delicate, sweet and charming face.

"Lawyer Victoria, this is your second client, her name is Scarlett Johansson."

"The heroine of "Tokyo", I know you."

Charlie needed no introduction, Victoria recognized it immediately and loved the film.

"Then I won't introduce myself. The purpose of my visit today is the same as Liv Tyler. I also want a divorce." Scarlett Johansson took the courage to say...

"Mr. Ryan Reynolds, I was entrusted by Scarlett Johansson to handle her divorce case with you... Liar? Look carefully at the number I am using now... Yes, she is with me, but she Shake her head, she doesn’t want to talk to you.”

"Listen young people, including Scarlett, you are all young people with great youth. There is no need to let one impulse destroy the first half of your life. Marriage is mutual, and it is meaningless for you to waste it like this."

"Oh, there's no need to cry. What you need to do now is wash your face, and then contact your lawyer to discuss the specific details with me. You'd better hurry up, this will save you a lot of trouble."

Victoria is good at simplifying complex matters. After hearing Scarlett Johansson's appeal, she bluntly said that this was much simpler than Liv Tyler's case, so she called her husband at the scene and settled the matter in a few words.

Scarlett leaned back and collapsed into the chair.

"I never thought it would be so easy. It's as simple as going downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes."

"But he sounded very depressed, maybe... he really loves you." Victoria said the details of the call.

"That's what he said when he was with other women, seeing a scum who loves one."

Charlie suddenly cleared his throat and noticed both women looking at him.

"You guys continue."

Scarlett Johansson looked away and continued: "We are all actors, and these reactions come easily to us."

"Anyway, the two of you are divorced now, and you are single and free again, Scarlett." Charlie said happily.

"That's right." Scarlett smiled shyly.

When I met Marcus Stewart again, he had become the manager of the TV programming department of PB Films.

The success of the previous reality show also made Marcus decide to leave Fox TV and officially join Charlie.

Usually he reported directly to Bob, but this time Charlie came in person, which surprised him.

"I invited another producer to come over today to discuss a new reality show that will delve into the family lives of 'socialites' and show their private side. These may not be new, but this family is special. When the time comes, you You know it." Charlie looked confident.

I had previously contacted Keira and Kardashian’s mother, and the two parties agreed to meet today.

"Then let's wait for him to come first." Marcus nodded and said nothing more.

While we wait, chat with Charlie about this year's developments.

"I am preparing to launch a new program. FOX TV station held a project seminar before, and an editor came up with a brand new idea."

"Invite ten pairs of middle-aged mothers and sons in their early 20s, 20 people settle in an old castle manor, and then enter the normal love variety show mode."

"Think about it, you have a good friend, and his mother is very interested in you. In the same way, your best friend is actually flirting with her son. Isn't it exciting? You can't wait to see what happens next? This is so exciting. Drama and conflict are tailor-made for late-night movies." Marcus' words contained a different kind of excitement.

Marcus, asking you to be the producer of a reality show is really a bit of an "incompetence"...

"And it doesn't require any investment. It's very cheap. All you need to do is find a group of amateur actors."

"If the response is good enough we could even launch a whole spin-off series with all kinds of relationships, and the permutations are almost infinite," he continued, excitement evident on his face.

"Uh..." Charlie didn't know how to answer for a moment.

If you want to know how to play, you have to recognize foreigners.

Soon there was a knock on the office door, and Charlie promptly interrupted Marcus who was talking and asked him to open the door.

"...It will definitely be a hit." Marcus was still saying the moment he opened the door.

But when he saw the person standing outside the door, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Chrissy Kinner?"

"Marcus, I didn't expect to meet you here." The other party also said in surprise.

It turns out that the two parties had communicated more than once at industry gatherings.

Kim Kardashian followed her mother in. She raised her hand to say hello to Charlie as soon as she entered.

Without any unnecessary pleasantries, the two parties immediately started discussing the TV show.

"Go deep into my daughter's family life, including myself, love situations, work, relationships with family, everything. This will be a brand new attempt, and it is 100% real, unlike all previous reality shows. It's a completely different perspective," Kris Kinner explained.

As the real promoter of the Kardashian family, she put forward a bold idea to restore authenticity to the greatest extent.

"Of course dramatic effects are also necessary. The theme of the first season is how Kim Kardashian integrates into Vanity Fair and what her four sisters have experienced. It adopts the method of American dramas, recording, editing and screening, according to the audience The reaction to modify the script at any time, "

Putting aside the fancy marketing hype, the quality of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" is at least above the average for its genre, and Charlie directly expressed his willingness to invest in filming.

After the mother and daughter left, Marcus couldn't help but said:
"This woman has used this project to promote it everywhere before, and she has also come to FOX, but everyone is not optimistic about it."

"why?"

"No one cares what happens to the daughter of Simpson's late lawyer. If it were Paris Hilton, maybe it would be different."

"Talk about Paris Hilton, she needs a show too."

Although the communication time with Marcus was short, the progress was quite fast. All that was left was to contact the corresponding TV station...

"You seem to be in a good mood?" Victoria said to Charlie at the dinner table.

"At least this trip to Los Angeles brought a lot of unexpected good news. I'm looking forward to what will happen at the shareholders' meeting."

Although Victoria repeatedly blocked it, she still couldn't defeat Charlie.

"Then let me tell you the first surprise. I decided to cancel the date and go to San Francisco with you." Victoria put down her knife and fork and said solemnly.
