[US Entertainment] Hollywood reverses life

On a sunny afternoon, Joey accidentally received a call from Hughes.

She moved the chair away from the computer, and said with the phone in between, "Well? What's the matter?"

"I remembered that I have a whole set of Superman comics here. Are you interested? I can send them to you. I think you may need them."

Joey took off his black-rimmed glasses, "Oh? To be honest, I've been finishing comics recently, and Batman's is only half finished. You have the full set of Superman, which is the best. I'll go to the bookstore to collect it."

Hughes' voice was a little lazy, "But there are really a lot of things in this set, why don't I bring them to you."

Joey said hastily: "No, no, what a shame. I asked you to borrow something. Of course, I came to pick it up in person. Don't be polite to me."

Hughes didn't say anything more, "Okay, but I'm in my own house, you haven't been here, are you sure you know?"

"You can send me the address. I can navigate Google. I'll call you at the door. You just need to give me the things."

Then the two agreed on a time, and Joey hung up the phone to change clothes.

Wearing a T-shirt and black skirt, she came to the garage with a pair of canvas shoes underneath, stepped on the accelerator and set off.

She groped according to the address of the GPS navigation, only to find that the address given by Hughes turned out to be a separate house number on the GPS, which could be searched directly. Does this mean that this address is very famous?

It should be, after all, it is the home of the Lei Shidong family.But Joey didn't plan to go in anyway, she took the things at the door and left.

Soon, she arrived at the address given by Hughes, which turned out to be a grand manor villa. She stopped the car at the huge iron gate, called Hughes to come out, and then waited there with peace of mind.

This manor, just from the outside, is full of a solemn and solemn British style. It has to be said that as a family house, it is extremely grand.

Although the Redstone family is not a century-old family, it is also a family that dominates Hollywood. Paramount founded by Summer-Redstone is one of the six famous Hollywood film companies, and now it also spans all fields of the Hollywood film industry. Not only in the field of film, but also the leader of the American news and entertainment industry. Whether it is the film industry, television industry, news media, or entertainment industry, Paramount can basically be said to be one of the top companies.

Joey waited at the door for a while, only to see Hughes hooking open the small iron door next to the door and coming out, because his hands could not be used, and both hands were holding a box full of cardboard boxes. It's all comic books.

Joey quickly opened the trunk of the car, and Hughes put the large box of comics in Joey's trunk.

Joey said gratefully: "Thank you so much, it saves me to go to the comic book store to search slowly."

Hughes patted the dust on his hands, then put his hands on his back and looked at Joey, "I think if you want to finish reading these, you will have to retreat for at least a few weeks, but this is actually only part of it."

Joey's eyes widened, "God, what else?"

Hughes raised an eyebrow and nodded.

Today he didn't wear his usual formal suit or suit, but a short-sleeved T-shirt that is rarely seen. The T-shirt only stretched his body, and he could see the tight and firm muscles and body underneath. The half of the arm exposed under the sleeve has no trace of fat, it is all muscle.Joey seemed to be able to imagine how beautiful the mermaid line on his lower abdomen was.

She looked at him and joked, "You're getting older, but your muscles are getting stronger."

Hughes raised the corner of his mouth with a smirk, "Want to see more? I don't mind."

Joey shook his head and said with a smile: "Warner should really ask you to play Superman, your figure is no worse than Henry Cavill."

Hughes put one hand on the lifted car hood, looked down at Joey, and with his height of 188, he could basically be regarded as looking down, "So, with your precise director's gaze, do you think I should choose to make movies in the first place?" To be an actor?"

"It's not too late now." Although Joey's tone was joking, his expression was quite serious.

Hughes smiled rather self-satisfied: "Then what do you think I should do? Superman?"

Joy's eyes were dyed light brown under the sun, and she said mysteriously: "It depends on you, what route do you want to take?"

Hughes turned around and put down the car cover, "I don't think I can go to the acting school."

Joey laughed at him, "You are self-aware, so you can act like a national hero."

Hughes turned and frowned at her, "Are you sure?"

Joey laughed and joked with him, "Of course, maybe the next Brad Pitt is you."

Then Joey scratched the broken hair behind his head with his hands, "I'm not kidding, Hughes, your character is not suitable for being an actor at all, you are such an unabashed person ~ you will offend the audience to death."

Hughes smiled lightly, but did not refute.

At this time, a well-dressed lady came out from the side door. She looked at Joey and Hughes from a distance, and then walked over slowly.

Hughes also saw her, but didn't say hello, but frowned, with a little conflict in his eyes, but he didn't speak.

Grace walked up to Joey with a long and polite smile in her eyes, "Hello, Joey, I've heard your name for a long time."

In her memory, she also had a few encounters with this woman, but this woman has always been aloof, with superior arrogance, never looked at her with such polite eyes, what happened today?There was a touch of flattery in his tone.

Joey could only respond to her politely, "Hello, Mrs. Redstone, you are still so beautiful and generous."

Hughes glanced at Grace, "What's the matter with you, Mother."

Grace smiled elegantly, "It's nothing special, but I have admired Joey's reputation for a long time and want to talk to her, isn't that okay?"

Hughes frowned, "She's leaving, let's talk about it when I have a chance." He knew how much his mother hated Joey before, so he didn't plan to let her and Joey have sex until he was sure about Grace's intentions. Too much exposure.

Grace looked at him and said, "I haven't finished talking yet, what are you in a hurry for?"

At this moment, Joey opened his mouth to smooth things over, "It's okay, Mrs. Redstone, just say it."

Grace spoke quietly, she was a woman with excellent temperament, "It's already at the door, why don't you go in and have a chat."

Hughes sneered, "I don't think you have anything to talk about."

Grace laughed lightly, "My father, I want to talk to you about something. I wonder if you accept this invitation, Joey?"

Hughes' expression turned colder, "Grandfather wants to talk to Joey about something?"

Joey patted Hughes' shoulder lightly with his hand, "Actually, I'm curious what old Mr. Summer will talk to me about."

Grace glanced at Hughes, ignored Hughes' ugly expression, and brought Joey into the mansion.

Joy agreed, on the one hand, because Grace was very polite to her, and on the other hand, she was also curious about what Summer Raystone, the all-powerful Hollywood figure, wanted to say to her.

Grace brought Joey to the closed door of a living room, and then looked back at Hughes, who had always been very unhappy, "Are you following here because you are afraid that your grandfather will eat her?"

Hughes sneered sarcastically: "It's really what you said." Then he looked down at Joey, "No matter what he said, you don't have to take it to heart. He is over 80 years old, stubborn and stubborn. secular."

Joey comforted Hughes: "Don't worry, I'll go in then."

Grace nodded with a smile, "Then Joey, you go in."

Afterwards, Joy pushed the door generously and walked in. Grace and Hughes stood behind her, and soon, they were blocked by the re-closed door.

In the study room, Summer Lei Shidong was sitting on an excellent leather sofa, holding a movie-related magazine and flipping through it. There was a faint fragrance of gardenia water in the room.

Seeing Joey walking in, he immediately got up unexpectedly, walked up to Joey himself, and shook hands with Joey, which greatly surprised Joey.

In her memory, the old man didn't like her at all. Even after Joey and Hughes fell in love for 7 years, he still treated her as if she didn't exist.He also asked Hughes and Joey to break up several times, and he never said a word when encountering Joey's problems in front of the media.

Now, he was shaking her hand with a polite and respectful attitude, which was a signal that he hoped to shake hands with Joey to make peace.

Joy didn't know what made this arrogant and high-ranking Hollywood figure want to shake hands with her, but seeing that the other party was an old man in his 80s, she didn't care about the past grievances for the time being, just I wonder what he wants to talk to her about?

Summer obviously saw Joey's reluctance, he invited Joey to sit down, "Grant, let's not stick to the past, as a successful person in the film industry, I think you should have escaped from those Mundane things."

After Joey sat down, Summer poured Joey a cup of coffee, "I'm not a person who is entangled in the past, so old Mr. Summer, don't worry."

Samo sat down and put his legs up. As an elegant old man, he still had eagle eyes, "In fact, I have wanted to see you for a long time, and I want to meet you, the miracle director."

Joey accepted Summer's compliment very calmly, "It's an honor to meet you today, too."

Summer smiled casually, and Hughes was worthy of being two grandparents. The smiles were exactly the same, "I've always been curious about you, where do all the wonderful ideas in your brain come from? And your shocking I am amazed by your talent. I regret some of the bad comments I made about you, and now, I would like to seriously apologize to you."

He looked at Joey with a pair of very sincere eyes, "I did underestimate you in the past, it was my mistake."

Joey felt deeply at this moment, what is a big shot?A big man is one who can bend and stretch. For example, the Summer Redstone in front of him, how much he looked down on Joey in the past, but now he can bow his head and apologize in his capacity. This kind of disposition is absolutely incomparable.

Of course Joey wouldn't bother with an old man, "That's all in the past, Mr. Summer. I really don't care about that."

"It seems that you have a very good heart, and I admire you for being able to calmly face people who were not so friendly to you in the past." Samo's expression was not angry, but he still squeezed out a smile for Joey, " Joy, to be honest, Hughes' mother Grace, she regrets it now."

Of course, this big man who is stubborn but takes a lot of face will not admit that he regretted it himself.

Joey looked up, puzzled and asked, "Regret?"

"Yes, I regret it. I regret that I repeatedly opposed your relationship with Hughes." Summer said lightly.

Joey smiled frankly, as if he didn't care, "Those are all in the past, they have disappeared long ago, and it doesn't matter anymore."

"No, it hasn't passed." Summer said meaningfully: "You and Hughes, your relationship has not been completely severed."

"Yes, but so what?" Joey began to feel that something was wrong with the direction of the conversation.

Summer's torch-like eyes stared at Joey with scrutiny, "If you start to get back together now, I think no one in our Redstone family will object."

After hearing this, Joey was taken aback for a moment, this was an answer she never expected, and then she sighed ridiculously: "Are you kidding, Mr. Summer, our breakup has nothing to do with the rest of you, it's us It's a private decision for both parties."

Summer's tone became serious, "I'm just giving you a hypothesis, Grant."

Joey looked at him wonderingly, "What if?"

Summer said in a somewhat inscrutable tone, "I am a businessman, and I like to consider maximizing profits. If you use your talent and ability to earn capital, plus the platform and resources of our Redstone family, this It will definitely be a combination that is greater than one plus one equals two. But the premise is that we need to be loyal to each other and establish close ties and loyalty beyond commercial cooperation."

Joey looked at his secretive tone, but his reaction was very flat, "Ideals are wonderful, and this will indeed allow both of us to reach a higher peak, but interests are the most reliable and least reliable in this world. Neither you nor I can completely trust each other, so I can cooperate with the Redstone family and even Paramount, but it is impossible to become each other's diehard loyalists as you said, and to establish a relationship beyond cooperation. Close connection."

Summer Lei Shidong corrected Joey's statement in time, his deep voice was a little arrogant, "You are wrong, it is completely feasible, that is marriage. Through reasonable legal procedures, the interests are firmly tied to the Together."

Joy seemed to know what Summer Lei Shidong was going to say next. She categorically denied it: "People are not machines driven by profit. People are emotional animals. It is impossible to marry for profit."

Summer continued to smile deeply, as if coaxing a child, "Of course, of course, a marriage without feelings cannot be called a marriage. But, you and my grandson are different. You have feelings, and Your marriage will create a broader prospect for the Redstone family and you personally, and even make the Redstone family the most prestigious family in Hollywood, and you, after being tied up with the business giants, will also become the future. The most important director in Hollywood."

After Satsuma finished speaking, he took a sip of his coffee and spoke again, "Think about it carefully, isn't it like this?"

Joey must not know that since she became a miracle, she has long been a favorite in the eyes of major Hollywood business backgrounds. They all want to bundle interests with Joey to achieve a win-win situation.

And Summer, after all, he is also a businessman, he likes to start from profit, and what makes him happy is that Joey and his grandchildren have emotional entanglements other than profit, which makes it more justified.

But this kind of thinking, if sitting opposite him with the same business ambitions and rushing for business interests, he might agree to such a very tempting condition, but Joey was not, and Summer still didn't see through Joey.

She is a person who still has a dream under the huge profit system of Hollywood.

She doesn't want her dream journey to be tarnished by conflicts of interest.

Some people may be willing to compromise and participate in political and political marriages for the sake of interests even if they have no love, but Joey is definitely not that kind of person.

She said clearly in a tone that could not be refused, "I'm sorry, old Mr. Summer, I think I'm going to let you down."

Summer, who has been used to Hollywood intrigue all his life, emphasized again, "You'd better think carefully before answering me, Grant, maybe you won't understand at your age, but when you reach my age, you will see through many things. Hollywood, if you want to survive in the fight, talent alone is useless, you need a strong backing, and the Redstone family can give you. Don't think that chasing profit is a shame, profit is the only thing you can grasp in the end something in hand."

At the same time, Joey can also bring what they need to Redstone, and commercial capital sometimes needs talent as a support.Only talent can make commercial capital burst out with the greatest value and return.

Summer Lei Shidong is well aware of this.The operation of talent + business capital is the most lethal weapon in Hollywood.

But no one has talent and capital at the same time, and if you want people with talent and capital to bind these two irrelevant people together, marriage is a good choice.Otherwise, unrelated people will inevitably have doubts about the loyalty and sincerity of the other party, which will affect the effect of cooperation to a certain extent.

On the other hand, he is old, and he wants Hughes to be his successor to inherit Paramount, but neither Paramount nor the six major Hollywood film companies are privately established family businesses, and the change of power does not matter. It is not a designated inheritance, but the result of fighting among shareholders of all parties.Although he is still in power, within Paramount, the Redstone family faction and the outside shareholder faction are still fighting fiercely.

Hughes' qualifications are obviously not old within Paramount, and he needs a persuasive and capable partner to increase his competitive chips.

Joey finally shook his head, "You may think I'm naive and ignorant, but I'm sorry, and I think you've misunderstood a little bit, Hughes and I are really over, and we're not broken at all, so You think we can get married with affection, this idea is also wrong."

Summer squinted at Joey, "So I emphasized that feelings are one thing, and interests are another. Without feelings, you can choose for benefits. And, you won't deny that my grandson is really outstanding."

Joey still shook his head, "It's two different things."

Then, in a tone that seemed to end the subject, she said, "That's not what I was meant to do with my life, so I'm sorry."

Summer sighed, and seemed a little regretful, "I can give you time to think about it, I hope you can think clearly about what kind of height you want to achieve in Hollywood, it depends on your ambition."

Later, he added: "Hughes is my ideal heir, and if you can combine with him, this is the brightest side of our Paramount future, and you will stand at the top of the Hollywood capital circle with him and look down on everything. "

Joey nodded, "Thank you for your suggestion, but I don't think I will consider it."

"Then let's end this conversation first." Summer still smiled politely.

"I wish you a happy life, Mr. Redstone."

Then Joy left Summer's study, and as soon as she got out of the room, she saw Hughes who had been standing on the promenade for a long time. He was standing upright in front of the escalator, smoking casually.

Joey walked over, smiled at him and said, "It seems that you have been waiting for me for a long time?"

Hughes stubbed out the cigarette butt, shrugged and said indifferently: "This is what I should do."

Joey squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "You don't want to know what your grandfather said to me?"

Hughes curled his lips, "Will you tell me?"

"Maybe when I'm in a good mood I will."

Hughes took Joey downstairs, "I don't mind if you tell me how to make you feel better immediately."

Joey raised his eyebrows and brought out a smile in a good mood, "Why don't you invite me to have a big dinner first?"

Hughes pushed open a door in front of Joy very gentlemanly, and waited for her to go out first before following.

"Happy to accompany you, beautiful lady."
