Chapter 1001

Probably because he was too satisfied with D'Addario's previous performance, William did not directly ignore the paparazzi and reporters outside the venue as before, but took her to stand in the photo area and let the reporters take pictures for five minutes before taking her Follow her to the banquet hall.

Obaday, who had been waiting by the gate for William to finish dealing with the reporters, praised Daddario who was holding William's arm and never letting go,

"Miss Daddario, you must be the most beautiful girl at the reception tonight. If I were ten years younger, I would have competed with William."

"You have no chance, Stan".

There were still many people waiting to enter the banquet hall behind him. William smiled and nodded with Obaday, and pulled Daddario into the reception hall.

As soon as they entered the door, the two became the object of everyone's attention. The man wanted to get in touch with William, and although his eyes were eager, they were not so repulsive.

But the girls who came here just for him were not so polite when they saw Daddario who was holding William's arms and following his steps.

If eyes can make a person disappear, Daddario must have been killed countless times at this time.

Stared at by dozens of pairs of hostile eyes, even though Daddario has been in the Hollywood circle for several years, she is only 21 years old, and she rarely appears at parties of this level. A little flustered, the hand holding William's arm couldn't help but tightened.

Feeling Daddario's nervousness, William smiled and patted her hand, "Relax, I'm here, and you didn't realize that there are many people in Hollywood today besides those who have business dealings with the Stark Group. Are the top executives and famous producers and directors of major film companies?

These well-informed guys, since they know about the holographic projection, I beg you before it's too late, and won't let those female stars provoke you."

Hearing William's words, Daddario glanced into the hall, and she really saw several directors of the film company, as well as all kinds of film selection managers that she wanted to see in the past but had no way to meet. , producer and director.

And these people looked at her with envy and joy.

You don't need to guess, you know that what these directors and producers are thinking at this time is probably that William, a super rich man who has never interacted with Hollywood, is finally fascinated by a girl from Hollywood.

The wealth of this kind of person is equivalent to the sum of the other nine people in the top ten on the wealth list.

As long as Daddario can be persuaded, and then he has the opportunity to get close to William, there are many examples in Hollywood where he got 100 to 200 million dollars just by reading the script.

However, these people were still thinking about how to talk about the project they were working on, or what role was suitable for Daddario, but they saw an old man with a white beard walking directly towards William.

As soon as William saw the old man, he smiled and stretched out his hand, holding each other as if seeing an old friend, "Long time no see Ridley".

"No, it's not that we haven't seen each other for a long time, but we haven't seen each other for eight years in four months." The great director Ridley complained with a face of dissatisfaction, "And you fooled me for seven years and left a script Give it to me, and never contact me again."

"I'm sorry," William let go of Ridley's hand. The old man's words were nothing more than trying to arouse his own guilt, so as to gain some initiative in the conversation.

The things that may make William feel guilty, except for the things involving the safety of his family, are at most just a few seconds of feeling embarrassed.

And not only was he not embarrassed at all, he also lied directly, "You still have the nerve to tell me about the pirate script, I give you full authority to negotiate with Hollywood, but what happened?

I waited and waited in London for several months, but I read in the newspaper that you took over the Black Hawk Down project, and I was laughed at by my mother for several days.

Saying that even if I made billions of dollars in the stock market, so what, I’m not a smarter nouveau riche.”

"This, this", Ridley, who wanted to get some funds from William, felt a little embarrassed for a while.

And one or two meters away, they gathered together pretending to chat, but kept paying attention to the people on William's side. Hearing this, he was shocked and looked at Ridley, an old guy in his 70s who had been silent for three full years. .

I didn't expect that he still had the script provided by William, but why didn't this matter come out?

But then some senior executives of the film company remembered that seven or eight years ago, they had indeed heard that Ridley had a pirate script and approached some production managers.

Some people were a little interested at first, but they heard that William, a man who made a lot of money in the stock market, only worked as a screenwriter and asked for a share of the screenwriting, but he would not invest a penny in the pirate project.

The final result, of course, is that no company is willing to risk hundreds of millions of dollars and invest in pirate projects when the stock market crash is severe.

After hitting the wall a few times, Ridley received a new film project, not to mention, and took three consecutive films in the next five years.

In addition, his daughter also directed the first movie for help, and if there is no shortage of work, if the Kingdom of Heaven he directed had not failed, he would have almost forgotten the original pirate project.

After listening to the report on Ridley's deeds over the years on Sunday, William smiled and said, "But I should probably thank you."

"What?" Not only Ridley was puzzled, but the people around him also looked at William with puzzled expressions.

"If it weren't for you and Hollywood who gave me a blow to my head when I was the most proud, I would probably have been complacent because I had made billions of dollars in a few months, and I would not have the mind to immerse myself in the laboratory again."

'Honey, you're the best', Daddario's after having the closest relationship with William

One heart has been tied to William, "Even if there is no such thing, you will definitely be able to adjust yourself."

William, who was making up stories at random, smacked Daddario's mouth with a smile, and then smiled and said to Ridley who didn't know whether to leave or stay,

"Forget it, I'm not ashamed if the story about the script hasn't been spread, and it's a blessing in disguise. Let him pass the past."

William reached out and patted Ridley's arm, "Dada is mine now, if you have a good role in the future, remember to notify her to audition, if you shake me, it will be written off."

"she?"

Ridley looked at D'Addario, who had an outstanding appearance and a figure that could rank among the top few in Hollywood, so he wanted to say yes, and he would fool William first.

But then he thought that when William was just 20 years old eight years ago, he knew that investing money in Hollywood was tantamount to giving money to others.

After so many years, I have never heard of anyone who took advantage of William, and I have not received an invitation to direct for three years. If I want to fool people, I must at least have something that looks delicious. movie project.

Otherwise, if William's new and old grudges are counted together, he, who is over seventy years old, probably really has to retire.

Therefore, the old man Ridley rolled his eyes, since he can't be fooled, he might as well change his identity.

For a director who has been famous for a long time and has rich experience, William has no reason to dislike him if he puts forward some opinions with sincerity.

Maybe he will treat him, a director who is familiar with everything in Hollywood, as a consultant instead, and if he can get William's favor, will he still be short of funds in the future?

You must know that William is a person who transports gold and other rare minerals from Mars every month. If he leaks a little bit through his fingers, it is enough for him to make a movie.

But when he thought of Mars, Ridley suddenly thought why he was looking for a project. Isn’t William’s experience on Mars the best project?

Resisting his excitement, Ridley tried hard to recover his breathing and said,

"On the way here when I was forced to come here from my Hollywood home by my manager, I took a look at the movies and TV series that Ms. Daddario has participated in over the years in my notebook.

Of course I have potential, but probably because I have experienced too few movies, and my acting skills are... ".

"Not to mention acting skills", before Ridley finished speaking, William smiled under Daddario's dissatisfied gaze, "Except for the script that is especially suitable for her, I will not ask you to push her to the big screen all at once." Produced in the heroine position.

Zhen Nayao is not only irresponsible to your director career, but also pushes her to the forefront.

She's only 21 years old, I don't need money and I don't need relationships, there's no need to be in such a hurry."

"Wow," Ridley breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you understand that a big production is an opportunity and even a bomb. Once it fails, except for the movies you invested in, it will basically ruin D'Addario's acting career ".

Without William speaking, Daddario nodded quickly, "I understand, Director Ridley. In the hundreds of auditions over the years, it's not like I haven't encountered those who want to rely on capital to get ahead, but in the end they quickly fell silent. Peers".

"You're a smart girl," Ridley smiled and nodded to Daddario, "No wonder William brought you to this occasion."

"Thank you," William laughed. Being pretty can indeed attract him, but if he has no brains, William will definitely leave the other party behind after a few exchanges.

Seeing that William was in a good mood, Ridley took the opportunity to express his thoughts just now, "If you want a project to be successful, choose the kind of story that can attract the audience before the filming starts.
