American Peanuts

Chapter 54 Westin’s film territory
Of course, it’s not just female celebrities who mention themselves in the circle. In fact, there are also many men working in Hollywood.

Of course, this includes Spielberg and a group of people related to him, including the great director Quentin Tarantino.He is now considered the number one "employee" of Westin Pictures.

[When I first heard about this incident, I was very shocked. In my eyes, Weinstein is a good film worker. I never expected that he would do such a thing.Thank you Charlie for helping us uncover the true face of this devil. If it weren't for him, I don't know how many people would be victimized.He saved Hollywood! 】

Charlie noted his comments on this matter during the interview.

He doesn't usually talk like this, and he seems to be asking for a certificate.However, Charlie didn't like this "ghost director", especially knowing what he would do in the future.

In addition, Meryl Streep, who has a close relationship with Weinstein, did not say anything.Also included is Gwyneth Paltrow, who is currently filming "Iron Man" as Pepper Potts.

In addition, she has another identity. She is Spielberg's goddaughter. At the birthday party, she was abroad, so someone sent a gift.

She actually remained silent about this, neither breaking off the relationship with Weinstein nor expressing her loyalty to Charlie.

After all, Meryl Streep is senior, so it’s understandable that she’s still waiting and watching.The most famous actress in Oscar history is so ambiguous...

It's impossible that she doesn't have this bit of EQ, maybe she wants to take this opportunity to leave.

Charlie will not let her leave, she is the key person in completing the gambling agreement.

"We'll go back to the United States tomorrow." Charlie put down the phone.

Jetta hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately did not speak.

Charlie touched her head, and Jetta snuggled into Charlie's arms, and the two became tender.

"You go back to Chicago first. I have to go to New York first. I have some things to take care of."

"Then tonight..." Jetta raised her head and tried to ask: "Do I want to take two aspirin?"

·
"Welcome back, Mr. Charlie." The customs staff handed the passport back to Charlie.

"Thank you." Charlie nodded and was about to leave when the other party suddenly said.

"Can you sign it for me?" She handed over the pen.

Charlie held the pen cap in his mouth and scrawled his name on the paper she handed over.

I can't blame him for being perfunctory. It's really annoying to sign. Just now, on the plane, he almost signed for half of the people on the plane, even the crew.

Charlie spends all his time hanging out with women, and these "ordinary" stewardesses don't catch his eye.

After passing the checkpoint, reporters waiting in advance gathered around him. Charlie had already put on his sunglasses in advance, otherwise he would be blinded.

"The senior management of Westin Pictures has negotiated with PB Company. What do you think of this? Will it acquire Westin Films?"

“How did you find evidence of Weinstein’s crimes?”

"Did you choose to do this in order to enter the film and television industry?"

Charlie stopped, faced the reporter who asked the question, and responded with a smile:

"You understand wrong. I have never thought about acquiring Westan Pictures. In fact, this is entirely out of my sense of responsibility. If you give me another chance, I will still choose to do so."

What he said was quite upright.Since I have been labeled a "national hero", it would be a shame to not take advantage of God's kindness.

"Also, stop posting flirty pictures on my Twitter, thanks, Ms. Mikkel." Charlie looked at him.

Several reporters around him instantly turned their attention to the colleague next to her. She was a little flustered and quickly explained.

"Wait a minute...I don't have it. My name is not Mikel. What are you talking about?"

But no matter how she explained, reporters had already surrounded her. As for Charlie, he took the opportunity to squeeze out quickly and escape from the group of reporters who were following her like gangrene.

He didn't want these people to see the people from Westin Pictures coming to pick him up.

After walking through the parking lot and arriving at a relatively secluded corner in the southeast, Charlie saw a car on fire parked there.

A very standard stretched Lincoln Town Car.

Charlie opened the door and sat in, and saw a lean middle-aged man sitting opposite with a cigarette between his fingertips.

"Hello, Mr. Charlie Rossi, my name is Militan, and Ms. Polly asked me to pick you up."

"Cox's man?" Charlie looked him up and down.

"That's not entirely correct. I'm an adopted son just like you." He said cheerfully, and then shook hands with Charlie.

"I will be your deputy in the future. This is Ms. Boli's arrangement. I believe you have no objection."

"Do you know movies?" Charlie frowned slightly.

"Haha, I'm one of the directors of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. I direct most of the company's independent films. Weinstein is responsible for other commercial projects." He blew the cigarette on Charlie's face with style. superior.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is the review body for Oscar winners. In other words, he is the man behind Weinstein's influence on Hollywood.

"I don't like the smell of cigarettes. Please get out of the car and smoke again." Charlie's eyes narrowed.

"Okay, sir, I hope you won't wave your fists in the car. That's disrespectful." The other party said quickly, then rolled down the window and threw the cigarette butt out.

It sounded like he was afraid of Charlie, but from beginning to end he had a vague smile on his face, as if he was looking at a monkey in a zoo glass case.

It was obvious that he disliked Charlie, but he did not cross the line and maintained a superficial sense of loyalty, rather than being disrespectful like Rosenzweig.

Therefore, Charlie will not touch him. As for the future, it depends on his performance.

"How is Westin's current business situation?" Charlie did not forget what happened last time. This time he had a better memory and asked directly about the business situation.

"Of course it's great. Without Weinstein, the world would be spinning. We still have a total of about $3000 million in box office share that we haven't received. We still have seven ongoing production projects and three new films in development. Preliminary preparations.”

"What three new movies?" Charlie asked.

"A drama about George VI overcoming his stuttering disorder and giving a World War II mobilization speech, tentatively titled "The King."

"There is also a film called The Reader, and Kate Winslet and Nicole Kidman both read the script and were very interested."

"The last one, for which we only have the script now, is a biopic about Alan Turing."

All three are actually historical dramas, which are Oscar favorites.

Charlie shook his head: "The name King is not good. What do you think of the King's Speech? It fits the theme better."

"I think... I think we need to think about it again." Militang couldn't understand why he said this.

"In addition, the script also needs to be revised, and female supporting roles must be added... No matter how many or few roles there are, there should be at least three more." Charlie held out three fingers.

"Uh..." Militan's expression gradually turned ugly.

"As for those readers, since both of them are interested, let them come over and talk to me in person. I will make the final decision on the heroine."

"...What do you want to do?" Militan was speechless.

Charlie interrupted: "As for Alan Turing's biography, stop it now. Don't spend another dime on this project. There are currently no suitable actors on the market."

Militan laughed and didn't know what to say for a moment.He didn't know whether this "American hero" was here to run this company or to destroy it?
