Chapter 786: Donate wardrobe

At the end of 2007, bad news about Wall Street began to circulate among the superstructures of North America. The bankruptcy of New Century Financial Corporation last year triggered the vigilance of many people and companies, even though the Federal Reserve and Wall Street kept releasing good news to fool the public. , But Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are in trouble, and it’s no secret to Ryan.

Combined with the impression of not many previous lives, he can roughly judge that the date of the financial crisis is getting closer.

However, these have nothing to do with Hollywood, at least no impact can be seen now, here is still singing and dancing, and drunken dreams.

Before the new year, Charlize's ct brand held a reception at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel. A large number of celebrities in the fashion and show business circles attended the ceremony to congratulate them.

In the past 11 months, ct Nature’s global sales reached US$211 million. Although nearly half of them came from the Disney platform, no one can deny the efforts of South African Diamonds.

Nowadays, there is a saying in Hollywood that there are many Oscar queens who have won two statuettes, but there is only one Oscar queen who can do business most.

Familiarly greeted the guests and shook hands with the people who came close from time to time. These basic communication were not difficult for Charlize. Although his face was almost stiff with a smile, he was in a very good mood.

She is not an idiot. She knows that in the traditional Hollywood circle, it is very likely that Nicole Kidman and Natalie Portman will be held down forever. She simply jumped out of this circle and took advantage of Ryan's huge media resources. And sales network to open up new business.

The current success also proves how correct her idea is.

Of course, all this is due to the full support of the people around me.

"take a break."

Looking at Ryan, who was standing here with him, Charlize said with concern, "The guests are almost here."

"Nowhere will I be at peace."

Ryan turned his head and glanced at the main table where Tyler and Scarlett and other ct shareholders were sitting, almost full of people.

"Who makes you the most powerful and rich person here."

Harvey Weinstein who came by did not avoid suspicion at all. Hearing what Ryan and Charlize said clearly, "If I were a woman, believe me, Ryan, I will try my best to get around you."

"Trust me, Harvey." Ryan deliberately slapped the big fat man's arm hard, "I have no interest in you."

With the increase in the box office of several movies and the passage of time, the impact of the Miramax incident is gradually dissipating. Although the loss is huge, unless they can really overthrow the Iranian government. Otherwise, we still have to look forward.

"Quentin is catching up with the script, it is not convenient to come over." Harvey Weinstein also brought greetings from the genius director, "He is very grateful for your continued support of his new movie."

"I received his call." Ryan knew that the cult master rarely mingled with the mainstream film industry.

Sending away Harvey Weinstein, Ryan saw Charlize’s good friends in Hollywood. If Leonardo DiCaprio is developing horizontally, then Keanu Reeves has reached it. His goals, career failures, girlfriend breakups and many other incidents have made the face of the top 20 million club members full of decadence, even if a well-fitting dress can't hide it.

"Long time no see. Keanu."

When he finished greeting Charlize, Ryan shook his hands firmly.

After shook hands with him, Ryan didn't say much, the superstar's fall could not be saved. It may be said that he has a personality in his life, but this is Hollywood that loves the new and dislikes the old. There is not enough exposure and good works, even if Monroe is reborn. It will also lose value soon.

Pulling off the tail tuxedo, Charlize took Ryan and sat at the main table. The reception was a formal reception. It is also a charitable cocktail party. The target of donations is the poor in Africa. Guests are not forced to donate money, but to donate outdated items such as moldy clothing of the rich and famous.

After a short meal time, Charlize stepped onto the small stage of the banquet hall and said a few words as the host.

"I feel very lucky. The success of CT is the result of the joint efforts of me and my partners."

She introduced ct’s shareholders and operating team one by one, “They are the cornerstone of ct, and I want to thank them for working hard with me.”

Then, she turned the topic to charity, “We always have a lot of out-of-season clothes in our closet, such as my wardrobe. There are always a lot of clothes that I overlooked waiting silently. I am soberly aware that I am a One cannot wear all these clothes."

"I was born and raised in Africa, so I have the'African factor' in my body. I feel a little guilty that the clothes in my closet cannot be fully used. My life value has always been'If you have something to use, then you should use it. Give it to those in need'."

"As we all know, people in many countries and regions in Africa are plagued by hunger and cold. They lack the most basic clothes. So I decided to donate my wardrobe to help those who can help. My friends and I... "

She gestured to Taylor and Scarlett. "I feel very lucky to be a person who helps others. I hope my wardrobe can bring warmth to those in need. This idea often encourages me."

"thank you all!"

Amidst applause, Charlize walked back.

This kind of donation will be operated through Charlize’s charitable foundation, which can be said to be one of the best ways for celebrities to gain prestige. Just like Ryan’s charity foundation to save African children, Charlize’s foundation’s accounts are also quite Beautiful, even the most critical media can't find too many faults.

Those foundations established for tax avoidance and other purposes have never been confused with such foundations that need to make public accounts. Hollywood stars have caused countless troubles due to charitable accounts.

In other words, it is not a secret in the industry that Hollywood stars use their charitable foundations to accumulate money. They only use a small amount of donation to decorate their appearance. As for the destination of other funds, there are too many places for accounting. .

In addition, some celebrities publicly announce how much money they will donate. Don't take it seriously. This money may not arrive until a long time, or it may not be traced ever since.

For example, when the charity foundation of Ryan was established. Oprah Winfrey publicly stated that he would donate half a million US dollars, but the money has not yet arrived. Ryan is very suspicious. When Sandy can drive a car in Hollywood, the money will not be available. Arrived.

Ryan would not do such a stale thing, and there are very few Hollywood stars' charitable funds that can allow him to generously donate.

It's one thing that he doesn't lack money, but it's another thing that those guys take his donation to be at ease.

His attitude towards Charlize's charity fund was of course different. He directly signed a check for five million dollars. Anyway, there was no person of the same level as him in the field. Others don't need to look at the digital actions he checked out at all.

"Except for the commemorative clothes from my childhood, all three of my cloakrooms are given to you."

The people sitting here are close people, and Taylor mumbles, "There is a check for half a million dollars."

"Our net worth cannot be compared to Ryan." Scarlett was also a check for half a million dollars. "So, Charlie, you have to exploit Ryan more with this kind of thing."

"When are you going to Africa?" asked Christine Stewart, with long hair, "are you really going to those poor tribes?"

"Next month." Charlize frowned worriedly when seeing Ryan, and gave him a relieved look. "I will act with the UN refugee agency."

"That..." Taylor thought for a while, "then I'll go with you. My public relations manager is also planning a charity show for me, so I might as well go to Africa."

Follow the UN refugee agency. The possibility of encountering danger is very small, and Ryan has no objection. He thought about it and said, "Alison does not seem to have the title of UN Goodwill Ambassador yet?"

"My team is working." Taylor finished. Turning to Scarlett, "How about you?"

"My dear..." Scarlett stretched out her hands helplessly, "My schedule doesn't allow it."

"I'm still shooting "Twilight"." Christine also shook his head.

This kind of time for several people to get together and whisper only lasted a short time. The cocktail party inevitably turned into a social party. Many people came to get close to each other one after another, and even some screenwriters and producers who didn't know who brought it in, peddled their ideas and projects to him.

However, most of the people said a few words before being dismissed by Ryan. These people obviously picked the wrong occasion.

"I'm Jon Lucas..."

Probably after seeing Ryan wanting to socialize with others, the brown-haired man said quickly, "Three minutes, Ryan, I only ask for three minutes."

"I remember you." Ryan nodded. "The screenwriter of "Rebounds" released by Disney in 2005."

"Yes, it's me."

Can be remembered by such a big man, Jon Lucas immediately understood that his opportunity was coming, "I have an idea for comedy. Three best men and the bridegroom who are about to be married were drunk in Las Vegas. When I woke up, I found that the bridegroom was missing..."

Hearing this, Ryan raised his hand and gestured to Charlize. Taylor and the South African Diamond immediately blocked him in tacit understanding, to entertain the others who came over.

Seeing Ryan do it like thisJon? Lucas doesn’t know that this is his luck. I suppressed the excitement brought by the fast heartbeat, and explained the framework of the script in the most concise language. content.

This is a comedy that takes place in Las Vegas. The three best men and the bridegroom who is about to be married were drunk at a bachelor party. When they woke up, they found that the bridegroom was missing, so they had to remember last night. All that happens can the groom be retrieved and the wedding can be successfully held.

Ryan interrupted him only when he heard a tiger appear in the bathroom.

Jon Lucas's mood sank to the bottom unconsciously. He had already sold this idea to New Line, but it was rejected. If Ryan is here...

Hollywood now has a Ryan Jenkins blacklist that specifically records those projects rejected by Ryan, and these projects will hardly attract investment in the future.

"Tomorrow you go to Disney Pictures to find Ms. Julis Stewart." Ryan turned to look at the tomboy, "Kristen, remember to tell your mother." (To be continued...)
