America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 54 Living together continues



At the end of last year, and at the beginning of this year.

Abel, who had just come to Wall Street, already had substantial assets.

At that time, he

Half of the Chinese people are worried about the sudden disappearance of their abilities.

At that time, in addition to leaving enough principal.

Almost as soon as I have money, I subconsciously buy real estate.

Many of his properties in Manhattan were purchased at that time.

When his short-term investment in the Internet bubble succeeds, he will truly have freedom of wealth.

This sense of crisis has disappeared a lot.

The townhouse at 357 West 17th Street in Manhattan and the 18th floor of the Carnegie Hill Building where Anne lived were both purchased at that time.

Half-hugging Jessica Alba, Abel walked to the living room.

What game are you playing?

He looked at the TV connected to the game console. On the screen was a picture of a racing game.

He looked at it and saw it was Ridge Racer 5.

This is one of the first games on the PS2 and is an exclusive game released with the console.

There are already four previous games, all of which are games on the PS game console, the predecessor of the PS2.

The earliest one was released in 1994, with sales exceeding 800,000, and subsequent series have reached this sales volume.

It can be regarded as a series of games developed by Namco, a company that has been very successful in making money.

Jessica snuggled against him and sat down on the sofa.

Abel picked up the game controller and said casually: Why didn't you go shoot today?

Starting from the beginning of this year,

Jessica Alba has been filming a science fiction TV series.

This science fiction drama has a large investment and is produced by 20th Century Fox.

The key producer was Cameron, the one who made Titanic.

That truck driver who yelled that he was the king of the world at the Oscars.

Cameron is not only the producer but also the screenwriter of this science fiction drama.

Because of this,

This American drama has been highly anticipated by many science fiction fans even before it was released.

Jessica Alba's father, Mark Alba, is Mexican-American and a former Air Force officer.

After retiring from the army, he worked in an oil company.

After working for a few years, I went into business on my own.

Mark Alba and James Cameron met in the desert.

More importantly, Mark Alba's wife is Cameron's father's goddaughter.

It is for this reason that Jessica was able to star in a TV series at the age of twelve and become the heroine at the age of thirteen.

Jessica Alba stars in this sci-fi drama, produced by Cameron.

The reason announced to the public was that she performed perfectly during the audition and her image met the requirements of the heroine in the script.

But in fact, her being able to star has a lot to do with James Cameron.

Who Called Her Mom's relationship with Cameron is the same as Annie's mother's relationship with Michael Levine.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s Lao America or China.

Those with connections and connections are naturally more likely to get ahead.

So it was with Anne, and so was Jessica.

This is true for Hollywood, and so is the Chinese entertainment industry.

For example, Chen Chichi,

His cousin is brother Chen Kai.

His mother is a national first-class actress.

His uncle is a famous composer.

He said that he became the hero of the iPartment all by himself.

Do you believe it?

Oh, recently a certain shitty poet joined the Writers' Association.

The world is as black as crows,

It won’t be whiter just because it’s an American crow.

It won't be darker just because it's a crow from the Celestial Dynasty.

In the past six months, Jessica Alba has starred in this science fiction drama.

The early stage of the filming was very busy, but things got a little better later on.

The early location shooting was mainly in Los Angeles.

There's Fox's outdoor soundstage over there.

Most of the post-production shooting was interior scenes, so we came to the 20th Century Fox headquarters to shoot.

Twentieth Century Fox was previously headquartered in California, but moved to New York in the 1990s.

The crew came to New York, and that's when Abel reunited with her here.

It's completely finished. Faced with Abel's question, Jessica in his arms said with a smile: The next step is post-production, I have nothing to do anymore.

When will it be played?

I don't know. It's not confirmed yet, but it seems to be as soon as October.

Abel nodded.

Ordinary American drama productions are okay, but this Dark Angel is a science fiction genre.

There are some special effects in it, which are more expensive than ordinary American dramas, and the post-production process takes a little longer.

There are some scenes here that simply show Cameron experimenting with new film shooting techniques and technologies.

Of course it takes longer.

I think you will definitely become popular this time. Abel said with certainty with a smile.

In parallel space and time,

Jessica Alba has been in the business for many years and has even been a heroine several times.

It's always been tepid.

It wasn't until Dark Angel of the End of the World was released that it became an instant hit.

She even won the 2001 National Teen Choice Award for Best TV Actress for this TV series.

Winning this award means that this year, she

The most popular female TV star among young Americans.

Roughly equivalent to the Golden Eagle Goddess in the early days of the Celestial Dynasty.

Who were the early Golden Eagle goddesses?

Liu Tianxian, Li Tangtou, Wang Luodan, Liu Xiaoshi

Each one of them was the hottest female TV star at the time.

After this science fiction drama was launched, Jessica became the most popular TV drama star in the United States from this year to next year.

I think so too~ Jessica Alba said half-jokingly and half-confidently.

Her confidence is largely due to Cameron.

This is a TV series shot by James Cameron, the creator of the world's number one box office record.

Seeing the smile on her lips when she is confident is heart-warming.

Abel couldn't help it and wanted to kiss her again.

Fortunately, at this moment, the small Nokia phone in my pocket vibrated and rang.

Jessica actually had her head raised, waiting for him to kiss her.

Seeing the phone call, she said obediently: Someone is looking for you.

Abel took it out and looked at it. The note was Michael Ovitz.

It's Michael Ovitz calling, he said casually.

Michael Ovitz? Jessica was stunned.

The name seems familiar, she thought.

At this time, Abel had already answered the phone, Hello, good afternoon. Michael, I hope you can bring me some good news today.

Hahaha~ Dear Mr. Smith, this is indeed good news.

On the other side of the phone, Michael Ovitz smiled heartily:

“But you may need to come.

I have made an appointment with Mr. Bloomberg, Mr. David Geffen, Mr. Ariel Zev Emanuel, and some other guests, and invited them to come and visit me on my yacht today.

Abel raised his eyebrows, What do you mean?

That's right.

Michael Ovitz over there said: These three gentlemen hold a total of about 11% of CAA's shares. There are also several others who also have some shares. The total shares of all of them , more than fifteen percent.

I believe you will be very interested, Mr. Smith.

Understood.

Abel said decisively: I'll go right away.
