American Scandal King

Chapter 290 Why do I always have to change clothes?

In the banquet hall, Ian was still chatting with everyone.

At this moment Ian said, "By the way, Pete, I remember Troy is about to start filming?"

Troy should have started a long time ago, but perhaps due to the difference in time and space, it was delayed and only started now.

Brad Pitt nodded: "Yes."

"Has the female lead been decided?" Ian asked.

"Diane Kruger."

Ian waved his arms and said, "Helen was the most beautiful woman in ancient Greece, a femme fatale who caused war. I don't think Diane Kruger is qualified to play Helen. Leave it to Jessica Alba! She's the one who's qualified to play the most beautiful woman!"

Brad Pitt said in distress: "This is not appropriate, right? The people have already been chosen."

It’s better to say that you have slept with that person.

Brad Pitt is not only the lead actor in Troy, but also the producer of the film, with more power than director Wolfgang Petersen.

Ian looked at him and said, "I believe in your ability, Pete! I also believe that Warner Bros. will not deny me this opportunity."

Looking at Ian's deep eyes, Brad Pitt felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

He nodded helplessly: "Okay."

I can only say sorry to Diane and make up for it in other movies.

Or let Diane Kruger climb into Ian Carr's bed?
Forget it, Brad Pitt can't bear to do it.

Women who sleep with Ian Karl usually won't be willing to leave him.

Seeing that Brad Pitt had no objection, Ian turned and walked towards a woman with a warm smile on his face: "Hi, Shirley!"

Shirley Lansing!

The first woman in Hollywood history to lead one of the eight major film groups, a well-known strong woman.

She is now the chairman of Paramount Pictures and is in charge of the entire Paramount.

Seeing Ian coming over at this moment, Shirley Lansing frowned slightly without being noticed.

She shook her head slightly: "I'm afraid of you, Ian. Every time you walk towards me, I feel a sense of fear!"

"Don't be like that, Shirley." Ian stood beside Shirley Lansing with a smile: "Although Viacom and I are not friends, business is business."

"So what do you want to buy?" Shirley simply crossed her arms and looked at Ian.

“No.” Ian shook his head. “I heard your Mean Girls is about to start filming?”

Shirley Lansing slapped her forehead and said, "I knew it. I've already hired Amanda, and the other personnel have been decided. Stop pushing your girls on me, okay?"

Ian shrugged helplessly: "It's just a chat. I want to fight for a chance for Megan Fox, Cressy and Barbara. You know they are good girls. It's not a big deal."

Shirley Lansing was speechless: "This movie of mine isn't the only one you have. How about I find one for you from my other works?"

"The premise is that I have confidence in those films and TV shows," Ian replied.

He doesn't know of any other famous movies Paramount will release next year besides Mean Girls.

Shirley Lansing didn't dare to offend Ian too much, so she thought for a moment and said, "I'll think about it."

Ian nodded.

Shirley Lansing then walked away.

She walked out of the banquet hall and paced back and forth, thinking.

For her, giving her two roles is no big deal.

The problem is that Ian Carr has a bad relationship with Viacom, and if Summer Redstone knew that she and Ian were working together like this, she would definitely not be happy.

A good manager should not only be able to help the boss make money, but also know how to avoid offending the boss. The latter is sometimes more important!

Summer Ray Stone gritted his teeth at Ian Carr. He might not be afraid of Ian Carr, but he was afraid of him!

If I were to offend Ian Carr like this, who knows if his next target would be me or Paramount Pictures?

Who in the film industry doesn't have some shady dealings? Whether it's business management or filming, all sorts of problems arise. With Ian Carr's skills, collecting this information is easy. He might even have it in his hands right now, but he's just not releasing it.

What should I do?
After all, she was a strong woman who could control a large film company, so she quickly came up with an idea.

She took out her phone and whispered a few words.

Not long after, two girls came hurriedly.

Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams, who were dressed to the nines, were clearly excited to attend the event.

At this moment, the two of them arrived at the banquet hall and saw Shirley Lansing. They respectfully asked, "Ms. Lansing, may I ask what you may do for me?"

Sherry Lansing called the two girls to a corner and whispered, "Ian Carr wants the role in Mean Girls!"

The two girls' expressions changed at the same time: "Oh my God!"

Rachel McAdams asked anxiously, "Are you going to give him my role?"

Lindsay Lohan, who was only 17 years old, was young after all and spoke more directly: "Ms. Lansing, you can't do this. We have a contract."

Shirley Lansing's face changed, and she pointed at the little girl and said, "Shut up! Don't mention a contract to me! No one in Hollywood is not afraid of Ian Carr. He could even ruin Sharon Stone's reputation in Iraq! No one wants to mess with him! He's just a lunatic, a lunatic who has money and is not afraid of death. But fortunately, at least he likes women instead of men!"

The two girls stared at Shirley Lansing in amazement.

At that moment they understood.

Rachel McAdams whispered, "So we're going to sleep with him?"

Shirley Lansing crossed her arms. "I've given you a chance. The only thing you can do is make him change his mind. He's in there now. Whether he's going to throw wine or something else is up to you. Oh, and by the way, there are a bunch of beautiful girls in the hall glaring at him, wanting to get into his bed. While Ian is still discussing work, it's not the right time to make a move. Seize the opportunity, or else, you won't have a chance to get into his bed."

She looked at the two of them: "At least he is a young, handsome man with good physical strength and no interest in sadomasochism, which is also good news... If he likes me, I don't mind accompanying him."

With that she turned and left.

………………

"No! I will never get involved in filmmaking. That's not my field."

In the ballroom, Ian Carr was still chatting casually with Howard Stringer of Fox and Jon Feldheimer of Lionsgate.

He stated in a resolute tone that he would absolutely not share in the production pie, adding, "I'll only participate in the investment, using copyright and publicity, and occasionally adding some artists. Oh, by the way, Mr. Feldheimer, I heard that you are about to produce the movie "The Day After Tomorrow"? Would you allow me to invest and arrange for one or two actors?"

Jon Feldheimer laughed and said, "Investment matters need to be discussed by the board of directors. Actors have to ask Roland Emmerich. I never get involved in his affairs."

You all say this, as if you respect artists very much.

Ian smiled and said, "I'm sure he'll accept it. Roland Emmerich is an excellent director. He's good at disaster films and has a unique juvenile aesthetic. It's great!"

Jon Feldheimer felt as if someone had pinched his heart.

Fake!

Ian Carr!

I didn’t even know Roland Emmerich had this fetish!

Well, how many people in Hollywood don’t have this habit?
He knew that Ian Karl couldn’t talk nonsense, so he nodded: “Your media influence is very large, I believe the board of directors will accept your investment, it’s a win-win situation, as for the actors…how many roles do you need?”

Ian Carr was about to say that one was enough when two girls came over from the perspective behind him.

Is it them?
Ian Carr thought for a moment and smiled, “It seems that there is only one important young female role in the day after tomorrow? But I want at least two.”

Jon Feldheimer immediately said, "How about another movie? It would be a major role!"

Ian smiled slightly: "No problem."

Then he turned and walked towards Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams, and the wine glass in his hand swayed slightly, splashing the wine on the two girls.

Ian smiled: "Oh, sorry, I accidentally spilled it on you. Can you give me a chance to atone for my sin?"

The two girls looked at each other.

Ian shrugged.

Why do I always have to change clothes?
