Vol 2 Chapter 352 Tuao Big Aries

  Chapter 352 Tuao Big Aries

  Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

  Where there are rivers and lakes, there are powers, and there are mountains and gangs.

  In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, the world is the same. Hollywood, too, is not exempt.

  In Hollywood, actors big and small from Australia. Unconsciously formed a mutual aid power group, the “Australian Gang”, which has considerable influence in Hollywood.

  Australia is in the south, and the United States is in the north. Just like a group of “South China Sea Gang” going north, the “Australian Gang” has quietly invaded a large territory in Hollywood.

  If this “gang” insists on picking a leader, the only one who can convince the crowd is probably Murdoch.

  The media tycoon born on a rural farm in Melbourne, Australia, is himself a Hollywood powerhouse and the boss of 20th Century Fox.

  Because of this, the homesick boss is more willing to use actors from Australia.

  So a group of new Australian actors became popular with his support.

   These people are also willing to pair up with each other, form groups, and cooperate in filming together.

   Thus, an invisible “Australian gang” was formed.

   There are actually many similar gangs and families in Hollywood.

  For example, the famous Coppola family is a family power based on the famous director Francis Ford Coppola and extended with him as a link.

  The entire Coppola family has won 9 Oscars in total.

   There is Nicolas Cage, a star known to many people in Huaxia, whose original name was Nicholas King Coppola—he belongs to this family, and Nicolas Cage is just his stage name.

  There are countless similar gangs and families in Hollywood, in order to obtain resources, opportunities, and not to be excluded.

  These people are bound by geography, blood, or friendship, etc., to form small groups that are semi-invisible in Hollywood.

  In this “jianghu”, the status of the Australian Gang is acceptable.

   Cate Blanchett and her husband Andrew are both characters in this “gang”.

  Because she came to Hollywood relatively early, and she is considered to be a good gangster, Kate also has a high status in the Australian gang.

   But among the actors, the highest status of the Australian gang is undoubtedly Tom Cruise.

  This Australian actor, as well as the leader of a certain religion, is currently one of the hottest actors in Hollywood.

   But he is more widely known to Chinese people because he has a wife named Nicole Kidman.

   It is right now, in the mansion at No. 10410 Bellagio Road, who is talking softly with Kate.

  Nicole Kidman came to see Kate today for the “Australian Gang” party at the end of the year.

  Actors from Australia like them organize a small party at the end of each year, usually before Christmas.

  This party is mainly used to maintain internal friendship, and at the same time, you can exchange some resources and help each other on the party.

  According to the meaning of Russell Crowe, the spiritual leader of the Australian Gang.

  The best Australian actors of the year will bear most of the expenses and provide the venue for this party.

  The total cost is only a few hundred thousand dollars, which is not a high pressure for a Hollywood actor in his early years.

  This party started a few years ago, and it has been doing pretty well so far.

   According to this rule, this year it will be Cate Blanchett’s turn to be in charge.

   In other words, among the Australian actors this year. Except Tom Cruise, the super-standard first-line A cafe.

   Kate is the most successful Australian actor this year, and it’s her turn to be in charge of this year’s Australian Gang Party.

   And Nicole Kidman has always been the most sociable one in the Australian gang.

  She will help every year at the party, so that the organizer will not be too tired alone.

   This year it was Kate’s turn, and as the time drew closer, Nicole Kidman came to her door.

  Nicole has been looking for Kate for two days.

  Kate had been on the phone saying she was in San Francisco.

  But when Nicole said she would go to find her, Kate refused.

Until today.

  When Nicole Kidman called, her tone was a little angry.

  Kate agreed to Nicole’s request to meet and gave her address.

  Nicole Kidman came to the door.

   There is no doubt that Nicole Kidman was shocked when she entered this top Beverly Hills mansion.

   This house is more luxurious than her husband who is divorcing her house in Beverly Hills.

  This kind of house, even the top Hollywood actors, may not be able to afford it.

  Nicole knew this wasn’t Cate Blanchett’s home.

   Kate’s home, Nicole she has been to before. It’s in the foothills of Beverly Hills, at most two or three million dollars.

   Like this house, Nicole guesses at least 20 to 30 million dollars.

  With the income of Kate or her husband, Nicole feels that she will not be able to live in it for the rest of her life.

  But in this house, Nicole found that she was as familiar as the hostess.

  The servants and maids in the villa treated her like their master.

  Nicole Kidman went from surprise to shock.

   This surprise and shock lasted until Nicole discovered the existence of the male owner in this house.

  The male host is not Andrew Upton, not Cate Blanchett’s husband.

   It was a big guy who couldn’t help being shocked after Nicole found out, which shocked her even more.

  Meet Abel Smith in it, and honestly the Australian Aries was really scared.

   After a while, Nicole Kidman suppressed her shock.

   But right now, she had already forgotten about the end-of-year party.

  At this moment, what Nicole wants to know more is how Cate Blanchett and Abel Smith got together.

  This. This is too envious of Nicole!

  Beside the sparkling swimming pool of the mansion, under the tall and beautiful Mexican long tassel palm trees.

  Nicole looked at Abel who was on the phone on the balcony, and then at Cate Blanchett who was silent beside him.

   “Kate. What’s going on here?”

“I promise you that.”

  She said softly to Kate: “I will definitely help you keep it secret. Really, please trust me.”

  Looking at Nicole’s beautiful face, she was full of curiosity and thirst for knowledge.

  Kate sneered inwardly, she knew her compatriot from Australia very well.

  Tom Cruise had a good relationship with his ex-wife Mimi Rogers.

  But not long after Tom met Nicole Kidman, who had just debuted and was still a rookie actor.

  Tom Cruise quickly abandoned his first wife and married Nicole Kidman within two months of divorce.

  In this matter, anyone in the Australian entertainment industry knows what’s going on.

  Nicole and her husband broke up this year and are currently in divorce proceedings.

  Now, in front of my own eyes, I am doing this kind of performance of a close friend.

   If you switch to a girl who is not deeply involved in the world, you may be deceived by her. But Kate is thirty-two years old this year.

  Nicole wanted to lie to her, but it wasn’t that easy.

  But when Kate called Nicole over, she had no good intentions.

  Facing Tuao Aries like this.

   After sneering in her heart, Kate replied softly:

   “Then what do you think will happen?”

  Nicole looked at Kate’s expression, then looked up at Abel on the balcony.

  At this time, Abel had just finished calling.

  Nicole Kidman, who is in divorce proceedings and trying to find her next family, saw Abel on the balcony and waved to herself.

  Nicole Kidman froze for a moment, and then immediately became elated, subconsciously wanting to respond to him.

   Fortunately, Nicole is still sane, knowing that Kate is still beside her.

  She was somewhat scrupulous, but just smiled at Abel, showing her charming side to Abel as much as possible.

  It’s a pity that they are a little far away, and Nicole suspects that the effect is not very good.

   Looking at her performance, she has been confined to Abel’s side for a few days.

  For a few days, Kate, who has been incapacitated by magic and cannot even take medicine, sneered in her heart—

  J husband Y wife!

   “This gentleman doesn’t look that scary. He’s very nice.”

  Nicole continued talking to Nicole in a low voice after seeing Abel disappear on the balcony.

  Nicole wants to continue to get more information about someone. She felt that it would do her no harm anyway.

  Amiable?

  You don’t know how terrible he is at certain things!

   Kate knows what Nicole Kidman is thinking. This kind of thing is the same for women, and they are all Hollywood actresses.

  And when Nicole Kidman is worse than herself.

  Kate knew what this sao woman was thinking at this time.

   “Yes. Although he is the richest man in the world and the boss of Smith Media, he is a tycoon even more powerful than Mr. Murdoch.”

  Kate smiled at Nicole and said: “But Mr. Smith is a very gentle person.”

  Well, the sage is very gentle when he is in time.

  But he usually only has a few minutes each time.

   In other words, his tenderness is only a few minutes.

   Kate thought so in her heart.

  Nicole Kidman was already full of envy at this time.

   It’s like Kate knows what she thinks if Nicole doesn’t say it.

  Even if Kate doesn’t admit it, she lives in Abel Smith’s mansion and is treated as the mistress by the maid.

  It says she and Abel are innocent, how could Nicole believe it?

  The two Australian actresses are full of calculations and guard against each other at this time.

  A dream to fly on a branch and become a phoenix.

   A broken jar broke down, trying to drag others into the water.

   This boring calculation between women was temporarily interrupted after Abel appeared in front of the two of them.

   But what surprised Nicole was Abel’s arrival.

   He actually hugged Kate in front of her, and kissed him passionately in front of him without any scruples.

   This made Nicole couldn’t help opening her beautiful mouth slightly.

  So direct, so undisguised?

A few minutes later.

   Panting Kate was let go, and Nicole heard the big man laughing and saying to herself:

   “Hi. Miss Nicole Kidman, nice to meet you, I like your work. My name is Abel Smith.”

  Facing the big shot’s self-introduction, Nicole Kidman quickly responded:

  ”Hi Mr. Smith! I’m Nicole Kidman, I’m glad you like it, very happy. I mean it, I’m so happy that you like it!”

  Nicole was a little excited because the big man took the initiative to greet her, and her speech seemed a bit incoherent.

  She is agitated.

  Abel was also looking at the stunner in front of him.

  A head of thick golden wavy long hair, thick eyelashes, charming eyes, sensual thick lips, showing all kinds of amorous feelings all the time.

  She was wearing a pink and purple ultra-short shawl coat, which further accentuated her superb figure.

  Pair it with a bright yellow velvet knee-length skirt, a pair of black high boots… really charming.

   This is the woman in front of her who looks like she is only in her twenties. She is actually two years older than Kate.

   This year is 34 years old, the same age as Sophie Marceau, the kiss of France.

   But at first glance, she looks younger than Kate.

  Kate looks so mature at the age of twenty, she still looks like this at the age of thirty, and she still looks the same at the age of forty.

  The Tu-Australian big Aries in front of him is always dazzlingly white.

  Abel remembers that she, like Kate, seems to have a shelf life of more than ten years.

   There is also a certain collection value.

  Compared to Kate who needed Liv to think of some ways to trick Abel into his pocket.

  Nicole Kidman’s eyes of “appreciation” to Abel are much more direct.

   Even for this reason, she deliberately staggered her feet slightly, twisted her hips slightly, and quietly posed a more feminine posture for Abel to appreciate better.

   A pool was built!

   Cate Blanchett is somewhat unwilling, look at her initiative.

  I couldn’t help cursing inwardly.

   “Are you friends with Kate?”

  After seeing enough of the wonderful figure and gorgeous appearance of the big white sheep.

   Abel smiled and said.

   “Yeah. We’re both Aussies. We’ve been good friends since we were in Australia. I’m on good terms with Kate, Kate, right?”

  Nicole Kidman looked at Kate with pleading eyes.

   Pray for Kay’s special teardown.

  Kate just wants to pull people into the water at this time, and it won’t be exposed.

  Hold in Abel’s arms, she finally breathed calmly, and nodded slightly, “Yes. We have a good relationship.”

  Nicole laughed happily, thinking Kate was a little silly.

   Just as she was thinking about what method to use. When he attracted the super big man in front of him under his pomegranate skirt.

  David Jones came over.

  The butler kept his eyes fixed on him as always, only Abel in his eyes.

   “BOSS. Here comes Bob Weinstein and Harvey Weinstein.”

  David said softly.

  Abel nodded when he heard the words, and said directly to him: “Then let the two of them come in. It’s cooler here, so I’ll meet them here.”

  David nodded yes, and turned to call someone.

  This kind of work that calls people, as the big steward, David actually doesn’t have to do it at all.

   Let the maids or servants, or other bodyguards do it.

   But David has always done this kind of thing by himself.

   It’s not that he can’t trust the servants or bodyguards.

   Rather, David thinks that this can increase his chances of appearing in front of the boss.

   Over time, after the boss gets used to it, he can increase his status in the heart of the boss.

   This is one of David’s private secrets to learn from those professional psychology professors and servant masters.

   It may be that he is so serious about such trivial matters.

  Among so many subordinates of Abel, he and Edward became the two most trusted people of Abel.

  When David left to ask someone to take him, Kate and Nicole looked at Abel.

  Abel shrugged at them. “Here comes the Weinstein brothers. That’s Weinstein from Miramax.”

  Nicole couldn’t help looking at Kate after hearing this. She saw that the latter didn’t leave, and she didn’t have any special expression.

   Nicole, who was still thinking about taboo, thought about it. She decided to bite the bullet and stay, as long as she was with Kate.

  When the Weinstein brothers came in together.

   I saw Nicole and Kate standing next to Abel, and Abel was sitting on the outdoor sofa in the shade of the garden by the pool of the villa.

   “Mr. Smith.” Harvey Weinstein, just like David just now, greeted Abel respectfully and loudly: “Good afternoon. Nice to see you again!”

  His younger brother, Bob Weinstein, meets Abel for the first time.

   It was also the first time I saw a Hollywood actress standing beside Abel openly.

   This made Bob Weinstein couldn’t help but look at Nicole and Kate more.

  But he quickly calmed down and looked at Abel with a smile, “Hi, Mr. Smith. I’m Bob Weinstein, and I’m Harvey’s younger brother.”

   “Hahaha~”

  Abel laughed, and he said to the brothers, mostly to Bob Weinstein:

“I heard Harvey tell me that. Bob, I’ll call you that from now on. Bob, it’s right to leave Disney. Michael keeps messing around, and he’s probably going to be fired by Disney’s shareholders. You’re welcome Joining MGM, your presence makes my film company even stronger.”

  Abel is not joking, he remembers that Michael Eisner has been in the past two years, will be rejected by Disney shareholders, and will be fired by the company.

  Bob showed a modest smile, “Mr. Smith, I should be the one thanking you for taking me in. Thank you very much.”

  His attitude of extreme humility.

  Nicole Kidman, who once saw Bob Weinstein drenching a third-tier Hollywood actor with drinks all over his head and face in front of everyone at a reception, was a little surprised and a little understanding.

   Surprised that a “big guy” like Bob Weinstein would have such a scene of being as humble as an actor who just got out of the game.

  Of course she knows. A Hollywood “big man” like Bob Weinstein will look like this, because the existence in front of Bob is a real big man who is several times more terrifying than him.

  Nicole Kidman realized for the first time.

   In front of me, the man who just hugged Kate and kissed him unscrupulously, is such a presence in the circle.

  If such an existence existed, Nicole would be a little afraid to think about it.

  Abel didn’t know, and Nicole Kidman was already thinking about it at this time.

   When doing business, his spirit will not be on women.

  The Weinstein brothers in front of him were specially called by him.

   Firstly, he wanted to know how the work of Harvey Weinstein was going.

  A few months ago, he asked Harvey to contact Hasbro to acquire or license some of Hasbro’s IP.

  As for Harvey’s younger brother Bob, he is the elder brother who knows himself, after the treatment he received from Abel.

   Without the help of his brother in Miramax, Bob, who has become very restricted, also has the mentality of quitting.

  He contacts Abel about Tor Harvey.

  After Abel knew about it, he expressed his welcome.

   Mainly, Abel also knows that the two brothers are real strongmen in terms of film shooting and operation.

  The ability is very good. The MGM film group, which is getting bigger and bigger, needs such film talents.

   After Bob Weinstein came over, he was a very good candidate whether he was in charge of a new film subsidiary alone or as a producer supervising the filming of the film.

   At the beginning of the month.

  Bob Weinstein has officially resigned from Mira Maxley to work at MGM Film Group.

  This time Abel called Harvey Weinstein over and asked him to bring Bob along.

  Although in the future, MGM Film Group may continue to shoot blockbuster movies for a long time.

   But the art films that can win Oscars, as well as those independent films with small investment will not be let go.

  Abel thinks about this and puts Bob in charge, and Harvey Weinstein will help. This configuration should be very safe.

  Today he plans to meet with this brother and explain their work in this area.

   “Hasbro is only willing to authorize movie copyright?”

   After listening to the results of Harvey’s contact with Hasbro, Abel nodded:

   “I see. You don’t have to worry about it from now on. Go ahead and buy your copyright, help Bob by the way, and the company’s future Oscars.”

   “As for the Hasbro thing. By the way, I think it’s worth a few billion dollars?”

   When he said the latter sentence, Abel looked at David.

   Without waiting for David to answer, Harvey Weinstein said first:

   “I read it this morning! Hasbro just passed the dividend ex-rights, and now the stock price is negative! But the market value is around 869 million US dollars!”

  In the US stock market, there are often stocks with negative value.

  This is not to say that the value of this kind of stock directly fell to nothing.

  It is that the price of this kind of stock is extremely low. After the annual or monthly dividends are ex-rights, the proportion of dividends is relatively high, which directly drives down the stock price.

  If the company’s follow-up operations are normal, it can still pull back the stock value.

   But such companies are generally in a difficult situation.

   This is the case with Apple, Qualcomm and the like before.

   “869 million dollars? It’s so cheap.” Abel said softly.

  He really felt cheap. Among other things, the value of the Transformers copyright owned by Hasbro is more than that.

  Of course, that was after the big success of comic book movies.

   Now, when comics are just getting on the right track.

  Hasbro, Marvel, DC, etc., they are all worthless.

  In this era, they generally can only earn money by selling toys or comics, or making cartoons.

  This is Abel’s cognition.

  But from the perspective of the people next to him, most of them thought he was in Versailles.

   Even if they don’t know what Versailles means, the feeling is the same.

   “David, call Alan.”

   Now that the funds are already extremely abundant, Abel decided to take Hasbro down ahead of schedule.

   “Let him issue a comprehensive tender offer to Hasbro. Or find the board of directors of the other party and ask for the acquisition. Well, the premium is within 30%.”

  David Jones nodded with a smile, took out his cell phone and went to the side to make a call.

   This scene made several Hollywood practitioners stare straight.

  A company with more than 800 million US dollars, buy it if you say it. Bob couldn’t help looking at his brother.

   Harvey noticed his eyes and shrugged at him subtly, implying that our current boss is so rich.

  Bob thought of the contrast between the rich and powerful Lee MGM Group and Disney movies.

  Compared, Bob couldn’t help feeling grateful for his choice.

  In fact, in the parallel time and space, the two brothers left Miramax together after 2005 to start a new business.

  This time and space, due to the appearance of Abel.

  The actions and choices of the two brothers were much ahead of schedule.

   Harvey Weinstein, this guy, also had some changes in his future because of the appearance of Abel.

  The Weinstein brothers interacted.

  Kate was not idle either, she was secretly observing Xiaobi’s reaction when she took a dip.

   Sure enough, as she expected, Nicole Kidman’s eyes can be said to be full of water at the moment.

   Kate thinks.

  If I and the Weinstein brothers were not here at this time.

  Then this female cousin is very likely to take the initiative to throw Abel down!

  She thinks Nicole Kidman is such a person.

  As for herself, she felt that she was forced to do so and had no choice.

  Yes. Andrew gave up on me, even if he doesn’t know it now!

   Kate thought that a few days ago, Andrew happily called herself.

   Said that he was spotted by Smith Media and was going to work at the headquarters of the screenwriter company in Smith Tower in New York.

   It is said that after two years of struggle, when they are in their early years, everyone can have a good reunion.

  Before that, even if the two parties were separated, it didn’t matter.

  Thinking of her husband who went to New York, Kate couldn’t help feeling a little sad.

  Kate thought about the past few days, he didn’t give himself any medicine, and that guy got so much into it every day.

   I am still in a dangerous period.

   Cate Blanchett thought to herself, there is a high probability that she will never be able to return to the past.

   This made her look at Nicole Kidman, and she couldn’t help but flicker.

   Just like the legendary water ghost who drowned to death, he likes to pull people into the water as a scapegoat.

  Now Kate, she also wants to drag people into the water.

  Nicole Kidman, who sent herself to her door, was her first target.

   Kate whose heart has begun to turn black. At this moment, besides Nicole, he is already looking for other objects in his heart.

  The first thing she thought of was an Australian actor like Nicole.

  The first thing that comes to mind is the Australian actress Rose Byrne, who is younger than her and Nicole and is equally beautiful.

   followed by

   Cate Blanchett couldn’t help getting darker in her heart in this regard.

  Compared to the four Hollywood middle-aged people with complicated thoughts.

  Abel’s thinking at this time is much simpler.

  After dealing with the Weinstein brothers, wait for them to leave.

  Abel’s mind, just like a normal man, came to Tuao Big Aries.

  34-year-old Nicole Kidman is at the peak of her fascination.

   Just looking at it, he felt juicy and delicious.

  If it weren’t for the rise in status, some would start to worry about their image.

  Maybe now he has to find a way to do it.

   But in fact, he does not need to take the initiative.

   Everything that happened later, was with Kate’s connivance and even support.

   and Nicole Kidman’s own initiative to send X under.

  Everything can be said to be. It is a matter of course!
