American Life

Chapter 192 Burn after reading, "National father-in-law" Stallone
Looking at the girl in front of her who looked exactly the same, Scarlett Johansson couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Don't tell me that these two are your visitors tonight."

After she finished work today, she just felt bored, but all her friends had already made appointments. She recalled what Charlie said this afternoon, so she took two bottles of red wine that she had collected for a long time and took the initiative to come to Charlie's house.

"Yes, I have to introduce you to these two Shannon sisters. The elder sister is called Carissa and the younger sister is called Christina." Charlie said.

On the other side, the sisters also noticed the two people walking out of the elevator and immediately walked over with a smile.

Charlie recalled the scene when they first met. The two were wearing ripped jeans and dirty sneakers. At this moment, fundamental changes had taken place.The sisters wore solid-color tight turtleneck sweaters on their upper bodies, short skirts on their lower bodies, thick pantyhose, and dark brown calfskin boots.

"To be honest, you two have undergone earth-shaking changes in the past six months." Charlie looked at the two of them with a smile.

Carissa smiled implicitly: "We just came back from Las Vegas, where an entertainment venue opened and invited us to the platform."

"I'm going to attend the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in two days," my sister continued.

"Oh, it seems you are quite busy." Charlie felt happy for the two of them from the bottom of his heart.

During the conversation, the two showed Charlie photos taken in various cities from time to time.

As a temporary visitor, Scarlett could somewhat hear their experiences. The two girls' native families were very poor. They dropped out of school without a diploma and worked as a manicure artist in their hometown in Michigan. Later, they went to Chicago for an interview and became models under Charlie. Although they were lavish The two of them didn't save any money, but their lives have changed significantly.

Scarlett, who was sitting aside, listened silently and noticed the smile on Charlie's face from time to time.

Only then did I realize that this businessman who seemed to be pursuing profits also had a unique side.

"Boss, we wanted to find you before. We happened to be in Chicago at that time, but you were not in the company." Carissa mentioned what happened.

"Is there such a thing? I was probably on a business trip at that time." Charlie nodded. In fact, he was in the office at that time.

"Then when you have time, can we go find you?" Christina mustered up the courage to follow.

"Of course, but only if I have time. You see, I still work until night." Charlie pointed to Scarlett Johansson sitting next to her.

In the evening, Charlie asked the twins to stay for dinner, and took them and Scarlett to the underground cave landscape inside the manor, which is a natural landscape.When he first bought this place, Charlie was deeply surprised. Later, when he thought about it, this might be the unique hobby of the rich. When others were still showing off the expensive classical decorations in their homes and driving luxury cars, Richer people will say: "I have a natural cave landscape at home."

"Oops, at this point, we can no longer take taxis outside." Carissa exclaimed when she came out of the underground landscape in the manor.

Charlie smiled: "Don't worry, I can ask my bodyguard to drive you back and ensure that you arrive at the apartment safely."

When the two left, Scarlett Johansson finally laughed out loud.

"This is the first time I've seen a man reject a girl like this. There are probably many of your models who want to be on top."

"The situation may be more serious than you think." Charlie told her the truth.

If you choose this path, you will have to endure a lot of unwarranted temptations. What happened to the three beauties from America is no secret. They live in a big house, have the best resources in the company, and can get the most remuneration.Many girls are not aware of the gap between themselves and others, but attribute the reason to Charlie. In addition, Charlie himself has a classical face like an Italian sculpture from the Renaissance. But there are quite a few.

"I thought you were just a voluptuous entertainment tycoon, but now I feel your bottom line." Scarlett fiddled with the ends of her golden hair.

Back in the living room, the two drank the rest of the wine. Scarlett drank obviously more frequently than Charlie. She seemed to have something on her mind, but she didn't want to say it directly, and Charlie didn't take the initiative to ask.The two talked about a lot of anecdotes between Hollywood stars.

"Yes, Leonardo is that kind of person. I met him once at a party...but he didn't seem to be interested in me." Scarlett fell into memories.

It's most likely because of his height. Leonardo DiCaprio is particularly dedicated and only likes tall supermodels.

"Besides, after you leave today, guess who is coming?" Charlie continued.

"Liv Tyler, right? I met her at the door of the set, but I'm not familiar with her." Scarlett Johansson curled up with her legs on the sofa, hugged her left leg, and took off her shoes, her fair skin On the smooth instep you can see the toes painted with red nail polish.

According to Charlie's experience, white people seem to have a special preference for red nail polish. The most important reason is that the contrast is strong and it has more visual impact.

"I discovered another special preference of yours." Scarlett smiled and straightened her legs, pressing down on her insteps and tightening her toes.

"Then guess what she came to see me for?" Charlie took a sip of red wine.

Scarlett gave several answers in a row, but they all guessed wrong, so Charlie told the truth.

"I see, then the silence of the past two years can be well explained. By the way, is the lawyer you found for her reliable?"

"I don't understand things at the lawyer level, but the other party can be trusted, and she is also confident when looking at her." The appearance of Victoria appeared in Charlie's mind.

Scarlett drank the wine in one gulp, put the empty glass on the table, lowered her head and was silent for a few seconds, then looked at Charlie, and said as if she had made some determination: "In this case If so, my divorce case can also be handed over to this lawyer."

"Have you made up your mind?" Charlie recalled his memory. If he remembered correctly, the marriage between Black Widow and Deadpool in the previous life would last another year and a half, but Scarlett had already made up her mind at this time.

"Isn't this why you came to me?" Charlie figured out the reason.

If you are curious about yourself, it is just pure curiosity, far from letting her come over in person.

Scarlett also nodded: "That's right, I want to ask you for advice on this."

"Why me?"

"Because my parents and many friends asked me to persist for a while. Sometimes I need to listen to some opposing opinions. I just happened to meet you and I came over. Maybe this is fate." Scarlett shook her head and smiled bitterly. .

With a matter settled, Scarlett's mood seemed to have improved significantly. The first bottle of expensive Huazhuang red wine quickly ran out. Scarlett Johansson wanted to open a second bottle, but was stopped by Charlie.

"My driver has already sent two people back, and I don't want her to work too much overtime." Charlie looked through the messages in the Garden of Eden.

"You quite pity her, what's the relationship between you two? Do your other women know?" Scarlett's words were frivolous, and there were two blushes on her cheeks. It was obvious that she was a little drunk.

"I'm talking to you." Scarlett yelled when she saw that Charlie didn't raise his head.

Seeing Charlie put the phone on the table, she snatched it away again and lay on the sofa to read.

"You're so brave to let them be in the same discussion group." The smile on Scarlett's face grew wider, and then she cleared her throat and sent a voice message in the discussion group.

"Hi, hello everyone, I am the actress of Black Widow, my name is Scarlett Johansson, I am staying with Charlie now, don't worry, he has not done anything to cross the line with me, Charlie Rossi is a good man, He just rejected a pair of young twins in front of me, even though he was very reluctant to let go..." She wanted to continue, but Charlie had already taken the phone back.

Scarlett closed her eyes and muttered: "Please call my agent and ask him to pick me up. I don't need your bodyguard to escort me in the car."

After saying that, he turned sideways and asked Charlie to take his cell phone out of his back pocket.

However, her pants were not loose at all, and the process of taking out the phone was not easy, which also made Scarlett complain a few times.

After finally sending the Buddha away, Charlie explained what just happened in the discussion group...

·
"Scarlett, why did you run into someone else's house? This is not polite at all."

Inside the car, Kelly Horvitz said earnestly that she is one of the partners of the Reactive Artists Agency (CAA), has more than 30 years of experience, and is one of the most well-known agents in Hollywood.In addition to Scarlett Johansson, he has also maintained close contact with many actors, including Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway and more.

"He is different from what you think." Scarlett Johansson smiled.

The car window had been lowered, and the howling cold wind poured in, making her feel a little awake, but only to a limited extent.

She silently took out her mobile phone, leaned her head on the car door, then raised her right hand slightly and took a selfie of herself.

[Scarlett Johansson: I'll be home soon, thank you for having me, good night Charlie Rossi. (picture)】

In the photo, she is sitting in the back seat of the car, her mouth is pursed, and her collar is deliberately pulled down...

A few seconds later, Scarlett Johansson sent another message.

[Looking forward to meeting you next time (kind smile)]

"You still like taking selfies so much." Charlie silently deleted the photo and then destroyed it after reading it.

Five years later the Hollywood hacking scandal broke out, with Scarlett Johansson among those who also included Jennifer Lawrence.

Speaking of which, it's time to meet her tomorrow, right?

In terms of movies, in addition to Marvel, it also includes PB Pictures, which was reorganized from the original Westan Pictures and Summit Entertainment.Jennifer Lawrence actually had a close relationship with Weinstein long before he was involved in the scandal. She was the protagonist in the movie "Winter's Bone" invested by Weinstein Pictures.

Some time ago, the location of the headquarters was also moved from New York to Hollywood. This time when Charlie came to Los Angeles, of course he had to take the time to meet the future Oscar-winning actress, one of the most popular actresses in Hollywood in the 10th generation.

·
"Sir, welcome to visit the new headquarters of PB Pictures."

The current CEO of PB Films, Bob Friedman, warmly welcomed Charlie. Since Summit Entertainment was acquired by Charlie, he has held an important position in the newly formed PB Films department, replacing Charlie in PB Films to communicate with Militao. .

The Marvel Films department is a special independent organization in Charlie's planning. There are also many places in the film project that need the help of PB Films. The big head of Charlie's film layout is still PB Films.

“Last year we achieved great results, with ‘The Mist’ and ‘First Blood’, and even more impressive results in terms of distribution, including ‘Transformers’ and ‘Iron Man 4’ ranking among the top five in the global box office list. name, online copyright distribution has also made breakthrough progress, and there are many new films in preparation and filming, such as "The Twilight Saga" and the new series project "Game of Thrones."" Bob Fried Mann reports to Charlie.

He almost never called Charlie, and judging from the results, he was enough to stand on his own.

Charlie took out an envelope from his inner pocket that Kayla had carefully wrapped this morning, and inside was a check.

"Forgive me for being late, you deserve it."

"You're too kind. This is what I should do." Bob Friedman smiled with several wrinkles appearing on his face.

"This year's task is very heavy. If you do it well, next year's check will be bigger."

"I will fulfill my mission." Bob Friedman promised Charlie.

"In addition, a friend found out that you were coming to Los Angeles and wanted to invite the two of us to a family gathering."

"Which one?"

"Sylvester Stallone."

Charlie looked at Friedman, frowned slightly and said, "Why didn't you notify me in advance?"

"I know you will definitely be happy to participate. He wants to discuss a new action movie with us." Friedman came closer and said meaningfully.

"In view of the good results achieved by First Blood 4 before, he is very satisfied with us and wants to deepen cooperation with us. I just received the call the day before yesterday. At that time, you had just arrived in Los Angeles and were still dealing with Marvel matters, so I didn’t report to you in advance.”

"What time?"

"Just this afternoon, Stallone asked us to go to his home."

"Tell Jennifer Lawrence that the meeting is postponed until tomorrow." Charlie ordered.

Friedman is right, he will not refuse to meet with Stallone, when the governor becomes the governor, Vin Diesel's Furious 4 has not yet been released, Dwayne Johnson is still struggling in the WWE octagonal cage, Stallone He is the action star with the most commercial potential today.

"To express his sincerity and gratitude, Stallone specially invited us to his mansion in Beverly Hills and welcomed us as a family to show respect." Friedman explained in the car.

"Really?" Charlie looked out the car window at the independent luxury villas located halfway up the mountain, and the rumors about Stallone's personal family could not help but come to mind.

Ever since he appeared on the sidelines of an NBA game with his three supermodel-like daughters, he has been nicknamed the "national father-in-law"!
