Chapter 360 Night Banquet (Third update, please subscribe)

His Majesty the King is here!

The arrival of Li Yi'an once again caused a sensation in Hollywood.

Last time, his arrival brought a script and $50 in investment to Fox, and of course a blockbuster movie.

What will his arrival bring to Hollywood this time?

Americans who seem to be unruly and yearning for freedom actually have a deep-seated admiration for aristocrats, and are even willing to be the "licking dogs" of British aristocrats. In the past half century, countless American tycoons have wanted to get involved with the aristocrats. Marry to improve your status.

A nobleman, even a shabby nobleman, can be sought after in the United States, let alone a genuine king. Even if his country is bought, so what if his wife is a genuine British princess.

Just as he promised when he left last time, this time Li Yi'an gave Joseph Schenkert, the Hollywood tycoon, a chance to receive him. After the plane landed in Los Angeles, he had someone notify Schenkert as soon as possible. , not because he likes the Hollywood tycoon so much, but because... Russia has just begun to blockade Berlin.

The time is not yet ripe, and in this case, Li Yi'an doesn't mind staying in Hollywood for two days.

In order to welcome His Majesty's arrival, Joseph Schenck specially held a grand banquet. In fact, his purpose was not simple, and there were not many secrets in Hollywood.

After learning that Li Yi'an came to Hollywood and showed interest in the film industry, he immediately started thinking about it. After all, MGM now...well, it is going downhill. From the 1930s to the present, MGM Most of Mei's works are mediocre, with shallow content and divorce from reality. They often use the same fictional stories, happy endings, popular big stars and high filming techniques to please the audience.

MGM mass-produced such films day after day like an assembly line in a factory producing industrial products. Although the profits were still modest, Joseph Schenck, as the head of the company, knew very well that the company was in decline.

At this time, he not only needs a good story, but also an injection of external funds.

As for His Majesty the King, he didn't know if he had any good stories, but His Majesty the King was definitely rich!

And he's the super rich kind - he bought a whole 200 Liberty ships!

I didn’t have a chance last time, but I must seize the opportunity this time.

In order to please Li Yi'an, Joseph Schenck spent a lot of money. Not only did he hold this banquet, but he also brought over the most famous actors from MGM, and of course, the most beautiful ones.

I have to say, it feels uncomfortable to be watched, especially when surrounded by a group of women who want to swallow you in their mouths and eat them all.

The feeling is indeed not very pleasant.

I am a beauty hunter, not a prey.

Although there are blond, red-haired, black-haired, plump, slim, thin, all kinds of women, but... Li Yi'an really feels boring.

In fact, the reason why Li Yian accepted Schenck's invitation was not to hunt for beauty, but because he saw an opportunity.

Buying MGM?

Well, he didn't have this idea, but he didn't mind becoming a shareholder of MGM. Although MGM made assembly-line popcorn movies day after day, it was better because of its wide audience. As a shareholder, he , can place advertisements directly in the movie - clothing, home appliances and lifestyle. Of course, thoughts can also be implanted.

Seems like a good entry point.

There are still decades to go before the full rise of television sets!

It seems possible to consider it.

In the banquet hall, after having enough of the crowd watching, Li Yian went outside, enjoying the gentle evening breeze and thinking about the price at which to win the MGM.

"20% should be about the same..."

While he was thinking about this, a small figure was not far away, looking at him eagerly, his purple eyes filled with...admiration. Previously, she was petite and exquisite, and she always wanted to go up and have a few words with the king, but he was always surrounded by a group of more famous and beautiful people.

Now, finally there is a chance!

Seeing that there was no one around, she took a deep breath, quietly walked over, and then performed a standard palace ceremony.

"Hello, Your Majesty!"

Looking at the girl who suddenly appeared in front of him, Li Yian couldn't help being stunned and said.

"Elizabeth?"

The girl in front of me is Elizabeth Taylor!

One of the four major goddesses of Hollywood in the 1950s, a few years later, there was even "Marilyn Monroe is the sexy goddess, Grace Kelly is the ice queen, Audrey Hepburn is the eternally elegant woman, and Elizabeth Taylor is the embodiment of beauty."

She is indeed beautiful!

Her facial features are exquisite and yet gorgeous, and she can definitely compete with Heidi, except that she is younger and only looks about seventeen or eighteen years old.

Elizabeth couldn't help but be surprised when she was recognized.

"Have you seen the movie I made?"

"Yes, I really like the Jade Goddess Pony you took," Li Yian's eyes looked directly at the girl in front of him as she spoke in a low voice, her violet-like eyes shining brightly.

Feeling his gaze, a blush crept onto the girl's pink cheeks. She nervously twisted the hem of her skirt with her fingers and said.

"So how do you feel?"

"Has anyone ever told you that you are a very beautiful girl?"

Not a very good pick-up line by any standards.

But it depends on who is going to say it. Facing His Majesty the King's praise, the girl who bloomed like a rose looked at the tall and handsome King. Her heart felt like she was carrying a little rabbit, and she wanted to jump to In his throat, he felt his face was red and hot.

He was complimenting me on my beauty!

My God, it was His Majesty the King who was praising me. The secret joy flashing in those violet eyes was hard to conceal.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, you are also very handsome..."

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Elizabeth regretted them and thought to herself.

"I'm done, I'm done, Elizabeth, how can you talk like that?"

Just when the girl's heart was agitated by her stupid words, unexpectedly, a smile appeared on the face of the king in front of her, and he actually bowed his head in her ear and said clearly:

"Can I dance for a while?"

What girl can refuse a king's invitation?

After taking the finger handed over by the girl and lightly touching the soft and boneless corn, Li Yian knew... that he was about to make a mistake again.

For an honest person, it is normal for him to make mistakes when facing temptation. After all, this mistake is made by men all over the world.

but.

Thinking about it from another perspective, rather than letting Elizabeth Taylor hurt or be hurt by others in the future, it would be better for him to bear the pain alone.

As a king, he should make sacrifices for others.

Just like that, Li Yi'an and Elizabeth jumped to the cheerful beat. When she was about to dance, Elizabeth's smart purple eyes were always on Li Yi'an's face. Looking at his handsome appearance, she understood why the princess fell in love with him. He was really very handsome!

At this moment, the football players in the school and the Hollywood stars were not worth mentioning in her heart.

Elizabeth put her hand on his left shoulder, but she was too short. Because she was about the same size as Margaret, Li Yian, who had long been accustomed to it, skillfully led her to dance with ease among the crowd. From time to time, he would speak words of praise in her ear in a provocative tone.

Faced with these words, even though she was secretly happy, Elizabeth still responded with a shy smile while looking around the ballroom from time to time. At this time, she felt that she was the protagonist today, just like a princess.

She could feel that the king's eyes were always paying attention to her every move. This meant that the king was interested in her, maybe even... Thinking of this, she felt nervous, but also a little happy.

Soon, Li Yian felt that the girl in his arms seemed to be tired, so he stared at her face with pity and asked:

"Do you still want to continue dancing?"

"Can we go over there and take a rest?"

Elizabeth gasped and answered frankly.

So, while Li Yian continued to dance, he led her through the flow of people spinning back and forth, and calmly leaned towards the edge of the dance floor. Then he took her out of the dance floor, and the two of them came to the spacious courtyard again.

Standing next to a huge bush, the moonlight shines on the girl's body, like an elf. Elizabeth found that even during this time, the other person's eyes still fell on her hair, face, and body from time to time.

Of course, for her, not only was there no unpleasant feeling, she was even a little happy. After all, there were so many beautiful women here, and he only saw her own people.

Just at this moment, two young girls with plump yet graceful figures in formal dresses passed by. She said with emotion, intentionally or unintentionally:

"Hey, they are so beautiful! Especially their bodies are very good."

Hearing this, Li Yian shook his head seriously, looked at her, and said softly.

"I think you are beautiful too..."

Their eyes met in the air, and they looked up at the king in front of them. The girl couldn't help but pick up her feet and gave her her first kiss...
