Chapter 415 Bait and Fish
After dealing with the matter of "Van Helsing", Michael Orwitz's eyes swept through the banquet hall quickly, instantly locking in the figure of a chocolate-skinned woman. Her brows frowned tightly, and her anger couldn't stop rising, but when she thought of the decision she had made, she gradually returned to her calm.
Anyway, it is a client that is going to be abandoned by the artist management company, so why bother to make too much trouble?
He raised his foot and walked over there. During this period, he saw the producer from France chatting with the other party intimately. He couldn't help but sigh that there are all kinds of men in this world, such as sexual and disease.
However, after staying in Hollywood for so many years, Michael Orwitz has never seen any weird thing. Jessica Alba and his boyfriend can only be said to be a couple of weird things.
He walked to the two and said directly, "Jessica, we need to find a place to talk."
Originally, he didn't need to come forward in person like this, but the rumor that the other party was standing behind him might be James Cameron, and Orwitz also had to express some importance.
But paying attention does not mean that he wants to keep this laughing stock of Hollywood in the company.
Michael Orwitz ignored Jessica Alba's answer and walked towards a lounge on his own. After entering it for more than ten seconds, Jessica Alba and his boyfriend walked in.
Orwitz frowned slightly, but he didn't care too much. Anyway, after tonight, the other party would have nothing to do with him.
"Hi, Michael..." Jessica Alba's words were interrupted by Michael Orwitz as soon as they were said. "Miss Alba, I officially notify you that the artist management company will terminate the agency contract with you."
Jessica Alba seemed unable to believe, "What?"
"You can notify your lawyer to go to the company to go through the procedures tomorrow."
A disgusting gaze swept across the sweet face. Michael Orwitz was too lazy to say anything, and turned around and left the lounge.
"Why...how is this happening..." Jessica Alba was a little lost.
Christopher Rokencott's smile flashed through his face, and he quickly showed a comforting and distressed expression. "Dear, don't care too much. Don't forget. You will become the heroine of a big production with an investment of $160 million, and the agency will rush to sign a contract with you."
Jessica Alba looked at him affectionately, and her lost expression disappeared without a trace. "A loser who was beaten by Duke Rosenberg in a decent manner is not worth my attention! Let's go, Chris, now is a good time to invest."
She raised her head and kissed Christopher Rokencourt, and walked out of the lounge more actively than he was, ready to start persuading Daye.
But Christopher Rokencourt did not come out immediately. When the lounge door was closed, he took out a tissue and wiped the kissed area on his lips over and over again with disgust until his lips were broken, leaving the lounge.
Many people in the banquet hall were his targets, Stephen Somos, Rachel Vizi, Steven Soderbergh, Ben Affleck, George Clooney...
Of course, it is unconvincing to just open a mouth, so he carefully prepared the plan and hinted through various ways that Duke would likely join the project after "Return of the King".
Christopher Rokencott is not afraid of these people seeking verification. Since meeting Duke last year, he has conducted in-depth investigations and research on the famous director. The other party’s circle of friends is very narrow, and most people in the circle have no relationships outside of work, and few people can contact him directly.
So, he carefully avoided people like Leonardo DiCaprio and Sofia Coppola who had a close relationship with Duke.
Others can only verify from the side, but in the past year, Christopher Rokencott has made enough preparations and created quite a lot of smoke bombs. Sometimes, what you get from the side may not be the real news.
Indeed, most people will not invest rashly. But as long as some people are blinded by interests and are moved, that is enough.
It has been ten years since entering Hollywood. Christopher Rokencourt is very clear that money in this circle sometimes comes easily. For example, he has established a shell company like most directors and producers. After recent efforts, he has invested nearly 20 million US dollars on the books!
Among them, there are actors and directors who have just become famous, retired directors and producers, and as a veteran who has been living in Hollywood for ten years without being exposed, Christopher Rokencourt always has a touching way.
After a walk from the banquet hall, wandering in front of nearly thirty people to persuade Christopher Rokencourt was elegant and from the surface and words, he was more elegant and confident than the most successful successful people in Hollywood. With the help of Jessica Alba and Mickey Locke and Demi Moore, who arrived later, he could easily win people's favor.
But even so, only three or four people have the intention to invest.
However, this is enough for Christopher Rokencott, who knows that such occasions should be stopped in moderation, and Hollywood is so big that there are so many goals to find.
In fact, when he thought of the money on the shell company's books and the loan that Jessica Alba was about to mortgage the property and obtain, Christopher Rokencourt would have the idea that he would have stopped here, but he had already made the matter big and would not make a big profit, so how could he be willing to do so?
The money he raised was to a certain extent qualified and bait, proving to the director with a billion-dollar wealth that he was qualified to participate in the project with sincerity, and inducing the other party to make another larger investment!
As long as he finishes this order, his Hollywood production career will come to an end. He will no longer have to endure that disgusting and dirty Jessica Alba, and can use his already prepared identity to hide from countries that have no extradition agreement with the United States.
However, after sending the plan and script to Nancy Josephson, Christopher Rokencourt never called directly to ask. If you want to become a skilled hunter, patience is the most basic quality.
The refreshing sea breeze blew from the Pacific Ocean, blew away the last bit of heat from Malibu Beach. Duke turned off the air conditioner and opened the glass window. The sea breeze immediately poured into the study of the eye villa through the insect-proof net, making his slightly drowsy head instantly clear.
Back at the back of the desk, Duke picked up the script and plan left by Nancy again.
He has always been preparing for the future. How to go after the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy? He only has a vague plan but no clear direction. Perhaps the final glory of Emperor Napoleon's Great might be a good choice?
The script and plan both moved him, but Duke couldn't get rid of the worries he had when he first met with the person who sent the project.
After putting down the script, Duke picked up another resume, which was the resume of Christopher Rokencourt sent by Nancy himself.
The other party is not a person who has just arrived in Hollywood. He has been in Hollywood for ten years. He has indeed had a good relationship with many celebrities such as Mickey Locke, Shanger Yundon and Demi Moore. He has also invested in several productions costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. However, those productions belong to the bottom of Hollywood. The amount of investment he invested and the final benefits he gained were impossible to check.
The knock on the door sounded, and the housekeeper Emma pushed open the door, "Secretary Orleid is here."
Duke nodded, "Let him come in."
This is Duke's new lawyer. His former lawyer retired and recommended him now. It has been almost a year since the two sides cooperated.
“Hi, Duke.”
This is a man in his forties with thick black hair.
"Sit as you like, Orr." Duke stood up and shook his hand.
As soon as the two of them sat down, Emma brought coffee and quickly left the study.
"How is the situation?" Duke asked.
Allyde did not move the coffee, first took out a piece of information from his briefcase and handed it over, and then said, "I checked Christopher Rokencourt's passport and bank credit, and there was no problem."
He said as concisely as possible, "The passport and entry and exit records he held showed that he first came to the United States in the summer of 1991. He currently holds large credit cards from Citibank and Bank of America, with no loans and bad credit records, and even hundreds of thousands of dollars in deposits in Citibank."
Is it really that he is thinking too much? Duke also knows that he sometimes viewed the world too realistic.
"Where is his studio?" he asked again.
"The Gaul Film Studio under Christopher Rokencourt was founded in 1996 and is registered in Delaware." Alred recalled, "This studio, like most movie studios in Hollywood, is a shell company. There are definite records that the Gaul Film Studio has invested in six small productions including "Brutality", "Wild Wolf of California" and "The Lonely Victory". The profit and investment amount are unknown, but judging from the tax records, it should be profitable."
"Or..." Duke thought for a while and asked slowly, "What do you think of this studio?"
Allyde said directly, "It's very similar to the early stages of Duke Studios, it's a typical shell company used to invest and avoid taxes."
Duke nodded and discussed with lawyer Allyde for a while. Finally, the conclusion he came to was the same as the resume information sent by Nancy, and there was no problem no matter how he looked at it.
All the information that can be found shows that Christopher Rokencott is a French producer who has been in Hollywood for ten years.
After seeing off his lawyer, Duke picked up the plan again. Like everyone else, he had greed and demands of interest. This plan was undoubtedly in line with his future interests.
Once again, Duke picked up the phone and dialed the agent's number, "Nancy, ask him to meet." (To be continued)
