American Life

Chapter 177: Reputation Reversal, Fake King and Real Prince
The incident between Charlie and Gisele Bundchen made a lot of noise before, but it has completely disappeared recently.

Gisele Bundchen was also nowhere to be seen on Charlie's reality show.

Nicole Kidman's thoughts are similar to those of most people, and she feels that the two are over.

Now it seems that things are not that simple.

Gisele Bundchen wore a lake blue one-piece dress full of diamonds today. The blue diamonds inlaid on the fabric shone brightly in the light of the flash. The hem of the skirt was specially designed and cut into a wavy shape. The outline made her look like a mermaid princess in a fairy tale. The most eye-catching thing was her slightly bulging belly. It looked like she was pregnant not much later than Faith Hill.

The world's number one supermodel who had disappeared for a long time appeared for a long time, and she was pregnant, which immediately attracted the attention of almost all media reporters present.

Facing the reporters' questions, Gisele turned a deaf ear and just posed for photos, waving slightly in front of the camera.

Nicole Kidman looked at Faith next to her, but found that her expression was not surprised at all. Obviously she had already known the news that Gisele was coming.

"Let's go in." Faith held Nicole Kidman's arm, and the two middle-aged women entered the newly decorated theater.

Gisele stayed on the red carpet for a long time, and after a brief interview with the host, she walked in.

The host is none other than Hadley, who wore an expensive business suit tonight.

When Giselle turned to leave, Hadley whispered to her: "You are so beautiful today, Charlie will be fascinated."

Next came Taylor Swift. Her dressing style changed from the fashionable and comfortable style of the past. Tonight she wore a red gauze skirt from the new British brand Marchesa, a red tube top and milk Against the same fair and smooth shoulders, there is a unique visual contrast. The makeup has also changed from the fresh and natural look of the past. She applied bright red lipstick, making the whole face full of temptation. The ponytail with full bangs gives a touch of Capable and refined.

Unlike the initial awkwardness when facing the media, Taylor at this time has learned how to handle reporters' questions with ease, cleverly avoiding questions about Charlie, and incidentally mentioned the release date of his second solo album.

"Long time no see." Hadley took two steps forward, greeted her, and the two of them bowed face to face.

Next up was Ivani. Her pale gold ruffled off-shoulder dress was from Lorena Herrera. The simple design style gave her a unique atmosphere, with a tall figure of over five feet and ten inches. His aura is no weaker than that of Gisele Bundchen who appeared before.

"Who is this beautiful model? I want to know her name." A reporter looked a little dazed.

This premiere is much more eye-catching than any fashion show. After all, the protagonists of the fashion show are clothes full of design, and even those Hollywood female stars are slightly inferior to the current ones.

Soon Ivani's information was found.

"The eldest daughter of billionaire Mepp?"

The subsequent appearance of the newly crowned Miss World pushed the atmosphere to its peak.

"Hollywood stars, long-established singers, top supermodels, new talents with great potential, billionaire's daughters, Miss World, magazine girls..." Another reporter murmured to himself, even if they were used to Vanity Fair , I can't help but feel dumbfounded.

Charlie's private life is a bit too colorful. Did he save the world in his previous life?

Besides, Faith and Gisele are already pregnant, can the rest be far behind?

Is this the lifestyle of entertainment industry bosses?
Later, other stars arrived one after another. DiCaprio and Kate Winslet did not show up this time due to filming reasons.

Then the star of the movie, Megan Fox, is also among them.Although these talents are the real protagonists of this premiere and should have attracted the most attention, the people who appeared before have completely whetted everyone's appetite, but they did not pay much attention to these starring actors.

The last ones standing were Charlie Rossi and his two secretaries plus Stephanie.

Someone in the audience shouted the name "King Charles".

Except for appearing on the red carpet, Charlie did not appear on the stage. His goal was achieved, and the stage was naturally given to the creator of the film.

Speaking of which, the real protagonist of the premiere was actually Kevin Feige. He grandly announced the MCU plan, which is expected to launch multiple independent superhero movies within three years, and will use the Avengers as a symbol of the end of the first phase, which is consistent with Charlie Exactly the same as what I knew in my previous life.

With the arrival of zero o'clock, the audience and media present were also able to watch this remade version of "Iron Man".

Megan Fox stepped off the stage and immediately rushed to No. 0 VIP box.

The private room is in an excellent location, with a large privacy glass inside and a wide view.

"Iron Girl, come here quickly." Faith waved to her.

This is the new nickname given to Megan when everyone in the private room was chatting just now. Her two current masterpieces may be related to the Ding Ding Bang robot.

Megan Fox went around the back and was able to sit next to Faith.

Contrary to Megan Fox's expectations, the tit-for-tat exchanges between the women did not appear at all. As the lights in the room dimmed, almost everyone's attention was on the movie.

The 80 minutes passed by in a blink of an eye, but everyone was still enjoying themselves.

"What do you think?"

Charlie looked at the beauties in gorgeous clothes.

"It's a standard commercial movie, with a tight plot, humorous lines, and dazzling special effects. I can give it a -point rating," said Faith Hill.

"It's nothing compared to last time," Taylor echoed.

"For those who have never been exposed to comics, they can fully understand it, and they are quite interesting after reading it." Lin Ni also said.

"When will the second part be released?" Even Gisele Bundchen, who has always been picky, showed interest.

Hearing everyone's unanimous high praise, Charlie finally let go of his last trace of worry.

"You guys go home first. I will go back after arranging the publicity activities. I have something important to announce tonight."

·
Charlie found Kevin Feige and discussed with him the post-release publicity matters, which were similar to the early stage publicity. Roadshows were carried out in theaters in major cities to promote the film. The previous relationship with AMC came in handy at this time.

Before leaving, Charlie stopped by to see Nicole Kidman and express his gratitude to her.

"Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come and support me."

"'The Reader' is your movie. You are my boss after all. Of course I have to come. Besides, if you really want to help me, you might as well help me win the Academy Award." Nicole Kidman slyly said said.

Charlie's rapid rise may soon become a force that cannot be ignored in Hollywood. She is very happy to maintain a deep relationship with Charlie.

"As long as your performance is normal enough, this matter is % guaranteed." Charlie promised her.

Considering Westin Film's original connections at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Charlie's commitment was more than just a verbal agreement.

"Then I'll wait for the good news." Nicole Kidman said in a small bird, and then changed the subject.

"Besides, it must be hard to take care of so many women, right? Can your body handle it?"

"Why did you suddenly talk about this?" Charlie laughed.

"Nothing, just out of curiosity."

"How about you come to my house as a guest tonight?" Charlie suddenly suggested.

"Not today." Nicole Kidman refused unsurprisingly.

"Then when are you free?"

Nicole Kidman was a little surprised to see that Charlie didn't look like he was joking at all.

"You don't want to expand your territory, do you?" she asked with a smile.

"That depends on fate." Charlie said speciously.

"Are you interested in joining my agency? In exchange, I can provide you with the fame you want." Charlie said casually.

"It's something I have to think about," Nicole Kidman said.

"If you change your mind, don't forget to call me." Charlie chose to leave.

"I will."

Despite this, Charlie had no hope at all.

Nicole Kidman is not a silly sweetheart like Gwyneth.

Besides, among the female stars who have been famous in Hollywood for a long time, which one is more economical?

She is willing to be friends with herself because she has taken a fancy to her own movies and her potential.

If she wanted to go further, she would not agree.

This has nothing to do with character, just the rules of the game of Vanity Fair.Only when you deal with different people and seek to maximize your interests can you protect yourself wisely.

But with the implementation of the MCU, the balance of Hollywood is bound to be broken.

Charlie is very curious about the reactions of all parties then...

·
"Will everyone move to Chicago in the future?" Taylor heard Charlie's arrangement for the first time.

"That's right, even my mother wants to come with you to facilitate your future album production." Charlie nodded.

"Including her?" Taylor suddenly pointed to Linnie sitting opposite.

"I forgot to introduce you. This is Ekaterina. Some of you already know her. She is the newly minted Miss World."

In the future, he will be the representative of PB Magazine.

"You have to inform me earlier next time. I don't want to be kept in the dark." Taylor frowned slightly and looked at the reactions of others before realizing that he was the last to know.

"How about we create a group chat in WHATSAPP to facilitate your daily communication." Charlie suddenly had a new idea.

This group chat can solve many problems. At least everyone can get to know each other quickly. When he is on a business trip, it can also facilitate communication with everyone. He doesn't want to call one by one and repeat the same topic.

Maintaining the Crystal Palace is also very cumbersome, so naturally it should be as convenient as possible.

"You really keep up with the times." Ivanie couldn't laugh or cry.

Just as they were told, several people took out their mobile phones and put together a chat group. The name Charlie was set to "Eden", and then they shamelessly changed their notes to Adam, and then sent a message on the spot.

[Adam: It’s already early in the morning. With such an excellent movie, shouldn’t we celebrate it? (think)】

[Tyler: (angry)]

[Ivanie: If God knew there was such a Garden of Eden, he would throw you to hell. (disdain)】

[Faith: I can be the audience. (Smile)】

[Stephanie Glasson joins group chat]

[Stephanie: It doesn’t look very serious here. Are you talking about some kind of party? 】

[Adam: @Everyone, no one can escape today. 】

【Linney: (in a daze)】

[Gisele Bundchen: Charlie, you'd better not be so pushy. 】

[Megan Fox: I think you are overestimating your abilities. 】

[Adam: Do you know Alexander’s “wheel tactic” on the battlefield of Troy? 】

As expected, Charlie won the round battle. Seven enemies raised white flags and surrendered one after another, indicating that Charlie was invincible.

By the way, those high-end dresses, which often cost six or seven figures, also suffered varying degrees of battle damage and were thrown into the trash can the next day.

With the release of the movie, many people began to move.

During this time, Charlie was paying attention to the reviews of the Iron Man remake on the Internet.

The Rotten Tomatoes freshness index is as high as 95%, IMDB 8.1. If it was Marvel die-hard fans who first entered the cinema, now more and more ordinary viewers are contributing to the box office.

Perhaps Iron Man has always been a relatively good commercial movie, but against the background of the previous "Relying on Defense", this remake is particularly outstanding.

There are even many American netizens who have given excellent comments about "where you fall and where you get up", and many people praise Kevin Feige's creative attitude.

Faced with the enthusiastic response from the audience, Kevin Feige also humbly published a long post on Twitter, repeatedly thanking Charlie for his trust and support, and bluntly saying that if it weren't for Charlie's rescue, both Marvel and himself would have completely fallen into the abyss. .

He even disclosed the psychological depression he experienced after encountering Waterloo in the previous movie, and the changes Charlie brought to him.

Only then did the world know that Charlie had dragged Kevin Feige out from under Death's scythe.

Even though there are many praises, it is still difficult to conceal the close attention that everyone pays to his private life.

There is even a gambling website that has launched a new pan port. When will Charlie be able to hit double figures?However, three days later, Panguo was hurriedly offline under the solemn warning of Saul and the repeated pursuit of letters from lawyers.

·
West Asia, a certain pearl city in the desert.

In a certain extremely luxurious palace, a young man was sitting on a soft and comfortable lounge chair, listening to reports from his subordinates.

"Your Highness, there is news from Paris that the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile has just rejected our offer. I'm afraid it will be difficult to advance the F1 site project."

He is using a local tobacco utensil called a "birdcage," but this "birdcage" is made of real solid gold.

Hearing this, he put down his pipe and cursed in a low voice: "These white-skinned pigs are so dishonest, they obviously charged us so much money."

As a country that mainly relies on energy exports for income, the prince and his royal family members have always given people the impression of being rich and wealthy.

But sometimes too much money can cause some attendant troubles.

With the advancement of science and technology, it seems that in the foreseeable future, humans on the earth will no longer rely on fossil fuels, and by then many energy countries will be on the verge of collapse.

The prince has been trying to transform the economy for so many years. His efforts include but are not limited to building spectacles, vigorously developing tourism, and building sports venues, but have achieved little results. The International Automobile Federation and others are often the lion's mouth. , put forward extremely harsh conditions, and even went back on their word.

"Construction of the arena has begun, how about we..." his subordinates pondered.

"Continue to increase investment and continue to publicize those committee members. Don't they want money? I will feed them until they are full."

The style of a wealthy businessman is different from that of a self-made rich man.

But for the prince, he also had reasons to do so.The natural conditions of the place where I live are harsh, and traditional industries cannot be developed, and the people do not blindly support the royal family.

After his subordinates left, the prince casually flipped through the Western media newspapers on the table.

He had the experience of studying abroad when he was young, and his English is not bad. He has been in the habit of understanding Western information through traditional print media for many years.

Soon he was attracted by a report titled "King Charlie and his entertainment empire, and his desire to become a Hollywood superhero."

When did America have a king?
