The top of fame and fortune [Comprehensive British and American]

Taking advantage of my youth and vigor, I will struggle with life for a few more years.Either I destroy, or I create glory.If one day, you find that I have bowed my head in front of mediocrity, then please shoot at me - "On the Road"

"The Lord of the Rings" won 72 awards including Best Picture and Best Director at the 11nd Academy Awards, tying the record for the most awards in the history of "Ben-Hur" and "Titanic". Erica won the Best Actress Award three times Laurels.” – Variety

"The global box office of "The Lord of the Rings" exceeded one billion U.S. dollars, and Columbia Tristar Pictures once again jumped to become the studio with the "largest annual profit". So far, will MGM, which holds the copyright of "The Hobbit", become Alley's Ka and Ovitz's new prey? "--"New York Times"

"On April 4, Erica Parker established MGM Holdings. On May 3, he acquired MGM Pictures in a leveraged buyout worth US$5 billion, completing business expansion. Gao Mei and United Artists have since become the number one film studio in the world, and a new century of Hollywood has been born." - "Wall Street Journal"

"Recently, Erica and Ovitz have made big moves. For MGM Pictures, which has failed at the box office for many years and has been in debt crisis, Erica quickly established the "Hobbit" trilogy and MGM after obtaining the right to operate it. The latest "007" series of films, a strong revival of MGM's film business, may trigger a new round of box office bombs." - "Los Angeles Times"

"The dinner you want to attend the most in the world? Is it the White House state banquet? Or the European royal family gathering?" The old magazine "Vanity Fair", which pursues fame and fortune and represents the glitzy world, has always been keen to report on the lifestyles and banquets of the upper class, " If you were to stand in Los Angeles and ask that question right now, you'd probably get a unanimous answer — no doubt about Erica Parker's celebration dinner at the beach in Malibu."

***

The Malibu beach at night is full of wild scenery, and the coastal estate where the celebration dinner is located is surrounded by the mountains of Santa Monica. At this time, many banquet guests have been present, but the hostess of the party did not show up soon.

"Erica went out to sea in the afternoon, and she will be back soon." Ovitz, Erica's partner, could only entertain guests alone for the time being.

And in the interludes of socializing, he has apparently found Erica's assistant more than once, or chief financial officer Keira Brown, or even Harry Osborn, "Where is she? Get her here quickly." , this is her party, won't she show up from beginning to end?"

"I doubt that she will be able to sail along the Pacific Ocean to San Francisco." Master Osborne, who failed to become a member of Erica's ship, said with a gloomy face.

A few hours earlier in the afternoon, Erica had sailed out to sea with three beautiful girls, Sofia Coppola, Julia Roberts and Uma Thurman.

She really forgot the time completely.

At the other end of the banquet, the consulting detective who came all the way from Britain looked very impatient, "Boring, boring, where is she?"

Mycroft Holmes smiled calmly, but hinted sharply, "Sherlock, your niece is not a boredom tool. If you think the banquet is boring, you can come and talk to Mrs. Parker with me." After all, the Parker family raised Erica.

The two Holmes walked to where May Parker and Peter Parker were not far away. Mycroft showed strict British etiquette, "Erica was a bit rude tonight, I hope she is rushing back."

"Oh, I don't think it's a big deal. Li Ka is overworked on weekdays, so she must have fun if she can relax and have fun." Aunt May treated Erica with the usual appeasement and indulgence, "If I didn't feel dizzy at sea, Ali Ka originally wanted to accompany me on a boat ride to enjoy the sea view."

Peter Parker on the side also immediately defended Erica, "It's not that this banquet cannot go on without Erica, it doesn't matter if she goes out to sea all night."

At this time, McCoff really understands why Erica has developed a strong and unruly temperament. The Parker family probably never denied any of her actions or decisions, and they always expressed their support and understanding, no matter right or wrong.

And Erica's feelings for the Parker family are probably more profound than anyone else-for example, several other people who are related to her at the banquet, whether it is the two Sherlock Holmes or the Captain America, had to stand in the back row. .

At the banquet, Steven was standing with his Avengers teammates Stark and Strange.

Strange, who went to the jazz club with Erica from time to time, was naturally invited by her.And our great and charming Mr. Iron Man is just feeling a little bored tonight, and there happens to be a fun dinner party happening near his Malibu beach house.

Tony sips his martini. "So where is she? This party host is as reckless as I am."

——"I also want to know where she is?" Lex Luthor also said this sentence beside the banquet hall lounge.

And Master Wayne in front of him still had a suave and charming demeanor, and he didn't seem to take this matter too seriously, "She always likes to have fun, especially with girls."

On this matter, Luthor and Wayne rarely reached an agreement, "Even if Osborn can make her willing to stay for a while, but it's really settled? Let's wait until the end of the world predicted by the Mayans comes."

At this time, Harry Osborn was staring at the coastline outside the observation deck. The Malibu beach was free and unique under the night, and the clipper was finally getting closer from the dark blue coastline.

When Erica and three friends appeared at the party, the whole atmosphere immediately heated up. Leonardo was discussing his next movie "A Game of Cat and Mouse" with directors Cameron and Spielberg , at this time, he showed a amazed expression to them, "Look, this room has brightened a lot."

Leo was about to exchange a close kiss between friends with Erica, but Harry Osborn suddenly appeared and snatched the beauty from him——

Harry stared at Erica who had been having fun with the three beautiful girls for a long time, "I thought you were planning to go to San Francisco for vacation, or you lost your way in the middle of the night and drove directly to the waters of Mexico."

"Honey, I won't get lost," she put her arms around Harry's shoulders and neck, and kissed him glamorously and coquettishly on his lips. Erika's eyes were misty and seductive, and her eyebrows were frivolous, "Ro Browning tells us that ambition is the big dipper in the dark night."

Harry didn't want to hear her talking nonsense about English poets, but because of her kiss just now, his previous anger disappeared in an instant, and he didn't know whether he should be dissatisfied with her prevarication, or he was too easy satisfy.

And before he came to a conclusion, Keira Brown and Ovitz, who had been looking for Erica for a long time, had already dragged Erica away from his arms—as a joint venture between Columbia Pictures and MGM-United Artists. CEO, Erica needs to speak at this special celebratory dinner.

Erica was surrounded and walked onto the small stage. Her expression and movements seemed to be a little bit drunk. I am afraid that she drank a lot of wine when she went out to sea by boat, so she looked more and more charming at this time, even Rebellious, "About my next life - I will fight against life for a few more years while I am young and vigorous. Either I will be destroyed, or I will create glory. If one day, you find that I am inferior to mediocrity Heads up, then please shoot me."

Under the bright lights, she looked like a shining diamond statue.A man who fancied a little about the blonde was doomed to fall in love with her.

Harry Osborn looked at her intently—she was not the kind of woman who would stand at the door and say 'goodbye' to her husband and children, and she might never really 'settle down', but it didn't matter, what he loved was It is her who is independent and fearless in her bones. She likes to have fun and have power. She uses her bare hands to get everything.

"And in the midst of my deadlock with life, maybe I'll win, or I'll fail, but whatever it is, one thing in my life is as sure as a dream—"

Erika's gaze found Harry, "I have the purest, most intense, unreserved, gambler's love of a man. And I don't want him to fail."

At this moment, Harry Osborn could only look back at her——

What should I say to you?Any metaphor is not enough, you are my everything, my whole life, everything in the world exists because it is related to you, and everything in the world is meaningful only when it is connected with you.

And I, Poor Ji, have never been tired of loving you in my whole life.
