America's Road to Fame

Chapter 107 Plastic Sisterhood

Chen William also saw this report before, and knew that MGM currently needs an emergency capital injection of 2000 million US dollars to maintain the company's operation until next year.

Otherwise, the company will either be acquired or file for bankruptcy.

And if they want to continue to start their 23rd "007" and "Lord of the Rings: The Hobbit", they need at least 1.5 million US dollars in start-up capital.

"I really didn't expect that MGM would be reduced to where it is now. I still remember the classic movies I watched when I was young. Many of them were produced by this company."

Paris brought a glass of lemonade, put it in front of William Chen, and said with a sigh.

"Hey, this is Hollywood. It changes every day. Once you relax, you will be surpassed. It's like us, why is it not like this, every year there are so many new faces coming out, wanting to get a good role, too difficult."

When talking about MGM's situation, thinking of her own situation, Scarlett Johansson also sighed.

"Your situation is already very good. There are one or two movies released every year. If I can be like you, I will be so happy."

Hearing Scarlett's words, Jessica Alba couldn't help interjecting.

Uh, William Chen immediately felt that the style of painting had changed, and it immediately became a bit miserable.

Sure enough, the worst one also spoke, Lindsay Lohan said faintly:

"You still feel dissatisfied, Jessica, as far as I know, you have just finished filming a movie, and you are about to join the crew to start a new movie. Who of you is as miserable as I am, and you have started to accept TV dramas, and the one you just shot Movies, or TV movies, can’t enter theaters.”

All of a sudden, everyone was silent.After all, like Scarlett and Jessica, their careers are still on the rise at this time. Although they complain a few times, they just have a sense of crisis or want to go further.

At this time, Lindsay Lohan is really miserable, and now she has been reduced to go back to filming TV series.

But it's no wonder other people, it's all done by herself.Originally, she was born as a child star, and everything went smoothly at the beginning. If she continues to develop normally, she will definitely have a place in Hollywood in the future.

But after she became famous, she began to hang out in nightclubs. She was photographed by reporters many times in a panic after being drunk. After that, she even started to be contaminated with drugs and became a frequent visitor to the police station. This also led to a sharp decline in her reputation. Now there are not many The movie is willing to find her.

"Come on, drink." Lindsay picked up the glass and drank it in one gulp, then she looked at William Chen and said, "William, I heard that your film company is making a movie recently, if you have a chance, think about it in the future." Can I?"

Uh, sister, don't you know why those movies don't come to you?It's all about box office consideration, don't I need it?

"I don't focus on movies now. The movies I made were all small-scale movies, and the total investment was only a few hundred dollars."

That's all William Chen could say.

Lindsay said with some self-mockery: "That kind of opportunity is very rare for me, I just want to act well now."

Seeing Lindsay's current appearance, William Chen also secretly felt a little emotional.

Although Lindsay is indeed a problem girl, but the reason is that the misfortune of the original family is also the source of all this.Her father, a former Wall Street trader, spent three years in prison for insider trading when she was very young.

At that time, her mother sent her to be a child actress because of family difficulties. When she was only three years old, Lindsay signed a contract with Ford Modeling Company and started shooting commercials.

Hollywood is a vanity fair, full of feasting and feasting all day long, where the greed of human nature is also vividly displayed.

Among those child stars, Lindsay is already pretty good. Like another child star, Macaulay, who is famous for starring in the "Home Alone" series, is also because his parents regard him as a cash cow and are too greedy, which leads to his stardom. .

Britney, who can be regarded as a child star here, is not her father, who used her mental problems as an excuse until she was 40 years old, and controlled her and took charge of her financial power.

But no matter what the external reasons are, in the final analysis, the current situation has a lot to do with Lindsay's inability to control her own desires, so it is impossible for William Chen to help her out of sympathy.I couldn't control myself before, who knows if I will be able to repent later?
Just like them, no matter how miserable they are, they are much better than those ordinary people.And the reason why they can't accept the current low tide is nothing more than they can't give up the luxurious life they are used to.

All the people present were smart people, so seeing that the scene was a bit cold at this time, Kadashian suddenly asked:

"Paris, I heard that your company has expanded again. Do you have any new projects?"

Many celebrities, especially female celebrities, use their popularity to start some side jobs, so Kardashian's words also aroused their interest, and they all looked at Paris.

"Oh, this, because William gave me an investment and supported me to make my brand bigger, so I plan to start with perfume. I will give it to you for trial at that time, and you must help me promote it."

"You are really amazing, Paris, but if you make your own production line, the investment is not small, and the risk is quite high."

At this time, Kardashian is also the same as Paris at the beginning. She authorizes her name to merchants and cooperates with them to make money. She does not have her own production line, so she still has more experience with these.

"Fortunately, William gave me 2500 million, let me try to do it first."

Paris seems to be an understatement, but every word reveals a show off, which makes others not want to answer the conversation immediately.

"Oh, really? Then I wish you success."

Only Kardashian, who started the conversation, responded dryly.

She wants to slap herself now, why did she give Paris a chance to pretend to be 13...

William Chen could clearly feel that Kadashian, who was opposite, looked at him, and the temperature inside was scorching hot.

It can be said that the relationship between Kardashian and Paris is very interesting. The two have known each other since they were young. fame.

Kardashian first entered the public eye because she served as her stylist and assistant in Paris's early variety shows.

At that time, Kardashian could be said to be a small follower of Paris. Not only did she have to carry her bag every day, she was reprimanded by her, but she also massaged the soles of her feet...

However, during the recording process of this variety show, Kardashian also attracted the attention of the media as a person close to the top Paris at the time.

Then because of her decent family background, she gradually became famous.

In this world, Paris knew William Chen very early on and never forgot about him, so the videotape incident did not happen.

But Kardashian is different. Under the planning of his mother, Kardashian attracted a lot of attention and gained a lot of traffic through the incident of "leaking the intimate video tape by her boyfriend".

Paris, who was quite loyal at the time, also stood up to speak for Kardashian, angrily denounced the media's reports on her privacy, and comforted her.

As a result, what happened afterwards was a bit unexpected. The TV station that had previously cooperated with Paris and broadcast her reality show canceled its cooperation with Paris.

Instead of her show, the reality show "Walking with the Kardashians" featuring the Kardashian family was broadcast.

What's more interesting is that this variety show had already started production before Kardashian's video leaked.

In the words of William Chen's previous life, Kardashian's cunning mother, Chris, personally built her five daughters into a "head internet celebrity matrix" through a series of events.

Of course, Paris is not stupid, and immediately thought about these things clearly afterwards.

What made her most angry was that when Kardashian was besieged by the media because of the video tape leak, Paris resolutely stood up to help her friend.

As a result, she robbed her of the broadcast time of her own reality show, so Paris went directly to Kardashian and questioned her.

At that time, Kardashian cried to Paris, claiming that she was asked by her mother to do this. She needs to think about her whole family, and has been apologizing to Paris, hoping that she will forgive herself.

So after that, although the two are still good friends on the surface, their relationship has become more and more complicated.

Because it is obvious that Kardashian's route is very close to Paris. In a sense, the two have a very strong competitive relationship.

So when it comes to the present, one is a small follower in the past, but now he has a huge flow, and he will no longer please himself as before; the other two people have more in terms of flow realization. competition and conflict.

The sisterhood between Paris and Kardashian has become plastic.
