Chapter 405 Thanksgiving Banquet
In the luxurious and spacious restaurant, people sat in two long rows of silver-white dining tables. Not only Julius, Scott and others came, but also some people who Ryan had never dealt with.
For example, Julius's husband John Stewart, who is the director and stage supervisor of Fox TV, and their eldest son, the tomboy's brother, also sat among a bunch of children.
Although Melanie Sloan got divorced, several children came here with her. It was the first time that Ryan met Scarlett Johnson's twin brother.
Next is Pi Jinsli's new boyfriend, this middle-aged man named Richard Wilson, according to Nicole, is an executive of an investment bank. He has just started dating Jinsli, and he has tried his best to come here tonight.
Ryan shook his head. In his opinion, the other party looked more like Jinsley's bed companion who was temporarily satisfied.
Of course, the group of children were the most crowded. While dining, they kept chattering about some childish issues.
"According to my opinion, if you have sufficient funds, you can invest in high-tech stocks. As long as you take action within the next two to three years, you will definitely make a lot of profits." The person who spoke was Pai Jinsli's new boyfriend.
The people here are the most core components of Ryan, the interest group. They are also people with status, status and wealth in Hollywood, and the topic naturally turns to investment.
Ryan looked at Jinsley, and the agent shook his head slightly. Obviously, her boyfriend didn't know at all. In the past few years, everyone here has invested a lot of money in it stocks through Ryan's foundation. This year, with Scott's selling, he has also earned tens of millions of dollars.
"I guess Pat will break up with him after tonight."
Ni is Jinsley's best friend. She knows her temper and personality very well. She leans in Ryan's ear and lowers her voice and says, "This person's ability and vision are indeed not worthy of Pat."
"Okay, my dear, this is Pat's private matter." Even if you are your best friend, it is an extremely unwise choice to get involved in private matters.
Scott on the other side smiled and helped Ryan deal with the guest. The other party was still talking nonstop, as if he was intending to show off his financial knowledge in front of these people. Jinsley beside him had already frowned. If this was not the Thanksgiving dinner convened by Ryan, he might have turned against him.
Sitting opposite Ryan is John Stewart. The tomboy's father has long shawl hair, which looks like an artist. Because of his role as Aragon, Ryan has also retained long hair for a while.
"NBC TV and Warner now have Friends, and ABC TV has introduced Millionaire. Disney TV is mainly aimed at children and teenagers. Fox TV currently lacks its own ace programs, especially reality shows."
The two met few times, and the topics were mostly about work. John Stewart talked about the current situation on Fox TV, "We urgently need to change this situation at present. Ryan, why doesn't Jenkins Film develop in terms of TV production?"
"Jenkins Pictures is still mainly based on the film business. We don't have that much energy, nor do we have so many people to be distracted from the production of TV series." Ryan shook his head slightly and raised his wine glass to John Stewart. He continued, "Frankly speaking, I don't know much about American dramas. Isn't James currently producing "The Dark Angel of the End of the World"? With his abilities and vision, he will definitely create a popular science fiction drama."
"What about reality shows?" John Stewart pointed to his head and said, "Everyone knows that you have endless creativity. Haven't you ever considered reality shows?"
Reality show? Ryan thought about it and had watched some of them in his previous life. Although not many people could leave an impression, there was a way of operation that almost everyone who had watched it understood.
Because of that song "Because of You", Ryan remembers that the first American Idol champion was Kelly Clayson in 2002, and was introduced to North America because this type of program became popular in the UK the year before. Now it is Thanksgiving Day in 1999. I wonder if the British are starting to prepare?
OK, let’s check it out. If not, register directly and turn the copyright into Jenkins Pictures.
"Did you have a good idea?"
Seeing Ryan thinking, John Stewart felt hope.
"I have a good idea, but it's not really a big deal..." Ryan looked at the people present. Strictly speaking, there were only Jinslie's new boyfriend outsiders, but there were too many minors. For the sake of confidentiality, it would be better to discuss it later. "Let's do this, John, let's discuss it in a few days."
"No problem." John Stewart also understood that the time and place are not right now.
Ryan thought for a while, and whispered a few instructions to George, who was sitting on the other side of him, who was just dining. The bodyguard nodded silently.
This kind of thing is not too difficult to investigate, just ask Garcia to send someone to the UK.
Which TV station's program was this in my previous life? Ryan frowned and thought for a while, but he really had no impression. However, since he mentioned this with John Stewart, if possible, then cooperate with Fox TV. Not to mention the share of advertising revenue that can be obtained, the future copyright income is a considerable number.
"Can you ask you a question, Ryan!"
Several little guys who were obviously full were not patiently waiting at the dining table. They all ran over and spoke with Taylor who was walking in the front. In front of outsiders, she was a standard little lady. "Ed said that in Toy Story 2, Buss Light Years vs. Aliens were satirizing "Star Wars Prequel" at the opening. Is that true?"
Ed, who was pointing at, was the older Adrian Johnson, Scarlett's brother.
"I watched a lot of film critics say that." Adrian Johnson said.
"When will the critics' words be trusted?" Scarlett Johnson curled his lips disdainfully, "They can always analyze a lot of messy views."
"Ryan, is there any?" Taylor scratched him secretly.
"I can guarantee that neither director John Lasette nor screenwriter Andrew Stanton, they have this idea." Ryan has communicated with Pixar's main creators because of the script issues, knowing that this statement was just compiled by the media themselves.
You should know that Pixar's core personnel were almost all members of Industrial Light and Magic before, and they would bored to mock George Lucas unless they had any problems with their heads.
"Alison, Christine, you guys take everyone to the entertainment room."
These little guys were not interested in sitting here, so Ryan simply asked the two little girls who often came here to take them out for fun.
"But I want to be here with my parents, and you and Nicole." Taylor playedfully and stuck out his tongue at Scarlett Johnson who was sitting steadily, "Why don't you let Scarlett take them to play?"
"Because I haven't finished it yet." Scarlett Johnson retorted dissatisfiedly.
"You've eaten too much..." The little blonde curly seemed to be just muttering, but the voice could reach Scarlett's ears again, "Kristen, I've never seen a girl who can eat more than Scarlett."
Scarlett Johnson's whole face was almost black, but at her age, it was hard to say anything in front of so many people. He could only stab the steak on the plate with a knife and fork, venting his dissatisfaction.
"Naughty!" Ryan flexed his knuckles and gently flicked her forehead, causing the little girl to widen her royal blue eyes and looked at Nicole pitifully, "Ryan always plays me, this will make her stupid..."
"Alison!" Mrs. Andrea on the other side of the table looked over, and Taylor quickly made a shut-up gesture and pulled up the tomboy beside her, "Let's go, Kristen, let's go to the entertainment room to play video games."
After they left, Ryan and others returned to the pace of eating and chatting. Most of the people here are Hollywood industry insiders, and the topics are naturally inseparable from Hollywood gossip and scandals.
"I heard that James is going to divorce again?" asked Julius Stewart. "I heard that Linda has filed a divorce lawsuit in the court."
Ryan didn't say much, just nodded.
The third marriage of the truck driver has obviously come to an end. Although Linda Hamilton has noticed Suzy Amis' existence since 1997, he probably has many speculations about Cameron's relationship with his two ex-wifes and still wants to maintain this marriage, the truck driver's heart is obviously no longer on her. Moreover, with Linda Hamilton's tough personality, it is impossible to turn a blind eye to him. He can endure it until now.
Suzy Amis may not be beautiful, but in Ryan's impression, the actress is gentle and tolerant. Since "Titanic", she has completely given up her career and focused on hiding behind James Cameron. Her extremely smart approach is obviously more favored by truck drivers.
"This is Hollywood! This is the usual style of Hollywood big shots." Nicole's voice was very low, and only Ryan, who was sitting next to her, could hear it.
Sighing, Ryan also lowered his voice and said, "Don't forget, my dear, you are also a big shot in Hollywood now."
"When will Jim marry Suzy? Amis?" Nicole asked again.
"It's probably next year, and I'll wait for the divorce lawsuit to end." Ryan and James Cameron have always been in close contact and know a lot of things about him.
The banquet lasted until ten o'clock in the evening, and then everyone said goodbye. Although it was the Thanksgiving holiday, they were still harassed by paparazzi at the door when they left. The little guys, although reluctant, were still dragged into the car by their mothers. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
