Reborn to Dominate Hollywood
Chapter 122
Even if you've never been to Beijing, it's clear that the city has a special charm that no other city in the world has, and many people have written a lot of books about Beijing, both ancient and modern.
Visitors and visitors look for answers to how China has miraculously maintained a 5,000-year-old civilization, or offers to master how to eat more Chinese cuisine or promises to unlock the secrets of why the Chinese are so hospitable.
Beijing is full of wonderful things – the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, the majestic Great Wall, and delicious roast duck and belly bursts.
At the same time, however, Ian's observations capture the melancholy that pervades the city, which looms over Beijing's gray skies every day.
Beijing continues to evolve, and as history shows, the city has had to put the old aside to make room for modernity.
But this is not what Ian has come to seek, roaming the streets of Beijing, mindlessly engaging in introspection or spiritual enlightenment.
No, he found it on the top of the oldest palace gallery in the Forbidden City, and he gazed at the magnificent city in front of him, and one word to describe his mood was "shock", and from Ian's point of view, the Forbidden City itself symbolized inheritance, as it has a historical heritage above all other buildings around it.
The view of the Great Wall reminded him of Raelin, and he could see her standing there, overlooking the whole landscape, just like he did now, and smiling at everything she saw.
She would stand there for hours, talking about everything she was interested in, and then suddenly say something profound that caught him off guard.
She was the first to show him that life is not boring, on the contrary, it is full of wonder and excitement.
He thinks about how much fun they have had together, her little anecdotes, and her constant support throughout his career, which means a lot to him.
The thought of her made his heart beat faster and strangely, but when he thought of her, he felt alive again.
He didn't know why he thought of her, and it affected him differently.
He doesn't feel that way when he thinks of others.
But, he knew, he wanted to think more about her.
He was afraid to act on that feeling, as he realized that Raelyn was special and that she was unlike anyone he had ever dealt with.
He was afraid, for the first time in his new life, that if he acted according to this feeling, he could lose a dear friend forever.
However, every time he saw her face smiling brightly at him, his heart beat faster, her turquoise eyes flashed with joy and mischief, and the corners of her rosy, full lips hooked up with a mischievous smirk.
For the first time, Ian felt fear, and they said that the absence made the heart more affectionate.
Ian cursed the man who came up with this phrase with every fiber in his life because they were right, and he didn't know what he would do.
"Grass," Ian scolded, turned and walked down there. "Now you're done, Ian. You're falling in love. "
Grass" Lei Lin cursed for the hundredth time, she had successfully chosen the cast, but now she was stuck with the set design and the contract needed for the school shoot.
She made Keanu Reeves the principal of high school, and Jason Wells sat firmly in the lead role.
He and Alexandra were able to create an innocent and slightly romantic chemistry on the spot, much to her delight.
But now that the contract to shoot at Chicago State School District didn't go through, she didn't know what to do.
She didn't have the connections that Ian had carefully cultivated to help her, and she didn't dare call him for help.
"What's wrong with you? Don't let me call you a coward, he won't eat your head if you call him, he's not a monster. Nick said sneeringly as he chewed on the cheeseballs. "Hurry! We need to get this done. I have an appointment tonight, and I don't want Keith to wait.
Raelyn sighed and banged her head on the table in front of her.
"Are you happy in my torment or what?!" she lamented.
Nick nodded happily and swallowed another cheeseball.
"I hate you. I really hate you. She sighed and turned to stare at her phone.
"Oh come on. You're useless, give that here. Nick said, suddenly snatching the phone from her hand.
"Hey!take your hand off my phone!you're going to get it dirty with your claws!" Leylin said as she tried to snatch it back, but failed, his tall frame working against her.
"What are you doing?!"
"Call Ian, you coward," Nick said as he turned on the speakerphone.
"No!" Raereen screamed as she pulled her chair towards herself and climbed up to snatch the phone from him, but Nick deftly moved out of the way, causing her to fall to the soft carpet floor.
She could still hear the ringing and shouting as she got up and rushed towards him again, but this time Nick used his other elbow as a shield to keep her away, even as she tried to reach for the phone "Come back here, no! don't call—"
and then what she was afraid of happened.
"Hello"
Raereen fell silent like a mouse, her face flushed, wondering if Ian heard her yelling like an old woman.
"Hi Ian, how are you, I hope I didn't call at an inopportune time. Nick said as he smirked at Railin, whose face was as red as a tomato.
"Oh no! I'm just hanging out in Beijing alone, it's not a big deal. Wait, isn't this Railyn's phone? Is she there? He heard Ian, and Nick wondered if Ian's voice went up an octave at the end.
"yes, Raelyn wants to ask you something, it's about shooting. Here, talk to her"
said Nick as he returned the phone to its owner, enjoying the look of pain and betrayal on Raireen's face.
Raelyn glared at her dying friend, snatched his phone, quickly turned off the speaker, and put it to her ear.
"Y-Hello, Ian. "
Hey, hey, Ray! Glad to hear from you. You sound great. I was thinking, we haven't spoken in a while, so I'm just wondering how you're doing. Is everything alright?" said
Railin, who took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. She could feel the heat coming out of her face, her cheeks burning.
She couldn't believe she could say those words, but she had to.
"Yes, everything was fine, thank you for your inquiry. I was actually calling because I needed some help filming in the Chicago School District, and I thought you might be able to help me with that"
Ian giggled, and Raelyn bit her lower lip.
"Well, I have a friend who can help, send me the location and I'll have everything you need in a few hours. Hearing him say this, she breathed a sigh of relief.
What she had been worried about. She tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, smiled and looked out the window, and said, "Thank you so much, Ian." That would help a lot. "
Oh, the city is beautiful, it's calm and serene. I feel like all my worries are over and I feel very refreshed. He said Reelin was very happy for him.
The last days he spent in Los Angeles were not good for his health, and the media went after him in many different ways, which she knew had affected him.
"It actually reminds me of you.
This made Raelin's cheeks burn, and she thought she had misheard and eloquently expressed her thoughts.
"What?"
"Oh, uh, I mean, it reminds me of home. Yes, home"
and Lei Lin felt that she must have heard it wrong, but her imagination once again made her heart burn and her heart beat faster, and for a moment, she wished she had heard correctly.
"Well, you had a great holiday, Ian. Thank you very much for your help.
"Anytime, Ray. Let's talk. The phone line snapped, and Raylen collapsed in her chair.
Mason, the producer who has worked for a long time at Rena Studios, is sitting in his nice chair, a place that makes him feel calm at home.
He had a hot cappuccino in his hand, and in front of him, the slow beam of light from the fireplace made him think, inspiring peace of mind and making him think more and more about what was bothering him.
It's about Ian, the son of his best friend, who now thinks he's his own son too.
At this time, how much he cares, he will be slapped in the face in his heart to doubt himself, but talking or thinking about the future will not help.
In addition, he has a lot of more serious issues to consider, and may even affect Ian Renner's future.
It was Jeff Sanson, the name of the man whose name alone made Mason's heart heavier than usual.
He took a sip of his glass, and his mind returned to the cause, the event.
The main reason Ian and Jeff brewed a cold war under the muddy waters of Hollywood is that Jeff is really strong and his company controls every corner of the industry.
In Ian's words, he is the CEO of Disney and a member of the board of directors, which naturally gives him a lot of power to control the inside and outside of the world's number one company.
The world's Goofy owns a staggering 43% of Hollywood, 10% of major U.S. media companies, and has considerable lobbying power in the U.S. government.
Goofy is involved in all aspects of the film industry. New to the industry, whether actors, screenwriters, or simply sound engineers, can't avoid dealing with media giants.
Their paths are destined to cross in one way or another, even for the humblest of things.
Even the copywriting of the script, as well as the various trade unions, are quietly controlled by the company, fueled by their constant support for members of the government.
Their lobbying efforts have prompted politicians to turn a blind eye to Goofy's growing monopoly in the industry.
The company has been more consistent and aggressive in acquiring most of the new studios in the industry, allowing them to dominate the market, regardless of which one proves to be profitable.
Their ownership of major national news channels such as Redwave TV, Fox, MSNBC, etc., allows them to manipulate the public in their own favor, distracting them from the more nasty practices and methods they employ in order to gain control.
Mason knew every strong reason in favor of Jeff and began to think about what might happen in the future.
"I'm worried about this child," Jeff finally said what he thought, and his wife frowned at him.
"Ian, dear, why?, is he in trouble?" she asked curiously, intrigued by what the old man had to say.
He straightened up in his seat, leaned closer, and explained where his thoughts were.
"I think I know what Ian is doing," he said, pausing, which made his wife nod and let him continue with what he was about to say.
"Well, Ian bought up a couple of small media companies and got a big share of several major media outlets like ABC News and Sky News. And, in addition to that, he's also acquiring businesses. He even dabbled in politics using Christopher Gray and, through him, made his way into many members of the state Senate. The
general reaction to something so large was expressed through his wife's face, and Mason sat down again and sighed loudly.
"He's encroaching on Goofy's territory, but I don't think he's aware of the extent of their control over the industry. "
That's... Huge," she said, while her expression explained more.
"yes, yes.
"Why are you worried?" she asked rhetorically.
Jeff sighed again. "I'm worried that Ian is preparing a business war in Hollywood. And, uh—" He hesitated before finishing. "I think Ian is playing a game that he doesn't know the depth of and he could lose.
"Why? I mean, what do you mean?" a nervous feeling crept through her.
"Will you participate?" she asked.
Mason was silent for a moment, not answering, not denying.
Finally, after a few minutes, he gave in.
"Ian didn't have anyone else to take care of him. So, I had to help. -
[Blueberry Restaurant - Gregory]
The whole restaurant has a white theme, and the surroundings appear elegant. The silent, small whispers between people made Nick, who sat across the restaurant, comfortable under the gaze of Keith, the date he had had that night.
“...... You don't support MMA? Wow, the first person who lives in Beverly Hills but doesn't support MMA. "
Now, you're exaggerating it," Nick said, shaking his head.
Their shared smile explains very well how the date has gone so far.
"Uh, I doubt it. Imagine sitting almost at the same table as Ian Reina's right hand. I don't know how you think my statement is an exaggeration.
Keith was a blonde with bright green eyes, and Nick was almost stunned when he first saw him. For the duo's first date, it wasn't that bad.
There is no connection between those two sentences, Keith. So, let's talk about you now, shall we?" said Nick, putting down his spoon and smiling at the challenging man with raised eyebrows.
"Of course, what about me?" Keith asked.
"You're a social media influencer, how is it for you?"
"Well, free products, fame, good guys, bad guys, living off what they eat, I really enjoy it. What about you?"
My position at Studio Reina was a dream for me. I'm glad we're all in the places we really like
," "Even now,"
the two of them clinked their glasses.
"And, I might have a question for you," Keith said, with a smile on his face.
"That's....
"This Friday, the Los Angeles Rams and the Carolina Lions. Five thirty, what do you say?"
Keith's eyes really sparkled when Nick responded.
"Is that a question you usually ask on a second date? I mean, it kind of worked..."
-
[Set]
A smile spreads on Leilin's beautiful face, and the beauty is because of how happy she is with how great she has been on the shoot so far.
"I can't believe how the gunshots came from. I had expected it to last at least an hour, like the first three shots. Oh my God!" Lei Lin said and turned on her phone, and soon the phone was unlocked with face recognition.
Nick sat at the table behind her, and Raereen was almost between his legs, now on her phone.
"Wait... Wait, please, is it Ian and you on the screensaver?" Nick asked aloud, allowing Reelin to hear it, coughing even louder before the others could hear it.
"What... This...... Fuck?!" he tapped his chest in a pretentious manner, and several pairs of eyes were staring at them.
Raelyn didn't answer, just rolled her eyes and waved her hand, letting everyone go back to what they had been doing before.
"It's time to start shooting!" she shouted, and everyone was back to their places as fast as they could.
The scene they tried to shoot was Keanu Reeves being the principal and he was on the phone to make himself look like a complete idiot, while Ferrisbulle and his friends were on the other end of the phone.
Somehow, this scenario is harder than it seems, especially considering the chaos to be created.
"Mr. Reeves, in this shot, the dialogue of the person on the other side who was supposed to be on your phone will be read aloud and first shown to be arrogant. You know, I've got this in my hand, and I know who you are. We'll take one and see how it goes, shall we?"
"Well, okay. So, let's split it in two and get started, can you adjust the board over there?"
Raelyn began to set the background perfectly for the camera, Keanu continued and began to read the lines on his own - over and over again, this is not a very fun activity for your message.
......
“...... Start!"
The clapperboard snapped, and filming began shortly thereafter.
"Ed Rooney?" Keanu, who plays Rooney, asked in a professional tone with his eyes away from the camera.
"Hah, this is George Peterson!"
"Sir, how is it today?" Rooney asked.
"Well, as you've already heard, we were a bit unlucky this morning.
Keanu raised his eyebrows, rolled his eyes, pursed his thin lips into a line, and continued.
"yes, I heard that. And—" he sighed and rolled his eyes—again.
"I'm all broken, boy! what a blow?!"
"yes, it's been a tough morning, uh, we have a lot of family business to attend to..."
, as the conversation progressed, his gaze shifted from left to right, as if he was listening carefully to what was being said on the other end.
Moreover, his face is a little far from the ground, which shows that he is not completely brought up by lies.
"Yes, of course... I'd love to. yes, you-you-uh...-"
"Ka!" Keanu dropped his movements and looked at Raireen.
"In the final conversation, I want to see you with a little smile on your face, like...'Let me catch your lies,' and the first few conversations on the phone have to look a little more natural. Your eyes look like they're forcibly moving, be natural and casual. Can we do it again?"
Raelyn said as Keanu listened carefully.
He wrote down every word she said and took every word to heart.
He'll do better next time, he thought.
"Okay, of course. "
