Some tabloids often speculated that Han Chudong targeted Helena Bergman because of her celebrity status, and that she chose to maintain a close relationship with Han Chudong because of profit.
Actually, it was not the case. The two had already known each other when Han Chudong was forced by his family to learn how to repair home appliances.
After Helena Bergman left her family and came to California to study and work, their contact became closer, and now they are both friends and lovers.
They both had things to do, and they would get together occasionally, but the time would not be too long. Helena was still studying at Stanford, but after Han Chudong helped to find someone to say hello, if she had to report to the crew, asking for leave would not delay her from getting her diploma. In fact, there was not much to learn in the drama major, and she could learn more by training in the crew.
Does Han Chudong care about a mere degree? Of course not. He has enough money to start a few universities and become a president or a director.
Harvard even wanted to give him an honorary doctorate. If he really wanted, he could get any degree he wanted from top universities around the world such as Cambridge and Oxford.
In the past two years, he has received so many honorary certificates and trophies that they can fill an entire wall, such as California's Best Citizen, Honorary Citizen of Los Angeles, America's Most Outstanding Young Businessperson, etc. He is even unwilling to waste time accepting the awards in person, and usually lets his senior executives do it for him.
Han Chudong hadn't seen Helena for nearly a month. He was sitting in the living room chatting with her. Then Helena took the initiative to pull him upstairs. She said that she had just replaced the jacuzzi bathtub, and then they naturally took a bath together.
When I calmed down again, it was already past midnight...
Helena was not sleepy, so she put on her silk nightgown again and put on a facial mask, saying that it was too dry in winter and she needed to replenish water.
She took a magazine, lay back down beside Han Chudong, and told him, "How are you going to spend Christmas this year? My parents want to invite you to dinner, either at my home in Philadelphia or here. They haven't had a chance to see the house in person since I bought it. They've been busy with work."
Han Chudong had a slight headache.
He also knew that his reputation was average, and he was often forced into scandals by others. What would Helena's parents think? He had a good impression of Helena's mother, but thought her father might be a little difficult to deal with. He was a little afraid to contact them, mainly because he had a guilty conscience. So far, he had not made any promises to Helena.
Although she can still use the excuse that she is young and has not thought about getting married, even if she can get by now, it will be troublesome in the future. Looking at Kyoko Mochizuki, it is relatively easier to deal with. Her mother just remarried at the beginning of this year and almost ignored Kyoko Mochizuki and moved to New Zealand to run a hotel.
After hesitating for a moment, I finally decided to avoid it if I could, so I made up an excuse: "If it's Christmas Eve, it might be difficult to handle. I plan to hold an annual meeting for the company, invite some celebrity singers, and relax with the employees. We should go to the beach in Hawaii or the southern hemisphere for the holiday. We'll talk about it then."
Vaguely sensing his resistance, Helena said unhappily, "It's really just a meal. They rarely interfere with my private life now. You're not a spy, so why are you hiding from my parents?"
"...Okay, it's still a long way to Christmas. Ask them when they are free and then make an appointment at your place. The house is great, and you should let them know that you are doing well recently. Then I will arrange to go fishing or play golf?"
"You don't need to worry about that. I plan to take my parents to the premiere of The Terminator."
As the name suggests, this was an idea that Han Chudong "thought out". The project was launched in 1975, and in order to release it in time for Christmas, the film was shot quickly and then edited and dubbed at a rapid pace.
Excluding "Jaws", DreamWorks Studios' total profit has exceeded 360 million US dollars, most of which comes from "Resident Evil". This copyright has become very valuable, causing the value of DreamWorks itself to rise rapidly.
Brothers should settle accounts clearly. Han Chudong invested some more money after the company was founded, resulting in Zhou Nan and Zhao Dajun's combined shares accounting for only 10% of the total shares of DreamWorks Movie Studios. With such amazing profits, how could they complain? Now Han Chudong is in charge of everything, and they enjoy their life with the continuous income from selling toys. They are looking forward to waiting for dividends from DreamWorks. However, it is estimated that there will be no cash distribution in the short term, and all the profits have been reinvested.
With so many film projects underway and more investment than Paramount and MGM, DreamWorks quickly gained a foothold just by relying on the hit "Resident Evil", and Han Chudong became another example of a wealthy person crossing over to Hollywood.
From this perspective, the reason why many wealthy people and companies suffered huge losses in Hollywood before was because they were unable to make good and popular movies. Consumers only care about the quality of the film itself, regardless of which company the film came from.
Nodding, Han Chudong continued, "If your parents had never attended a movie premiere, they would probably like it more. Besides, the movie is very well made and has the potential to become a representative work of science fiction movies."
"real?"
"Of course, don't worry about the school. Next time we ask you to act in a movie, don't mention you have to go to school. If it really doesn't make sense, I'll go and say hello. Just consider it as an early internship." Han Chudong said it lightly. He was indeed familiar with the president of Stanford University. They had eaten together and gone fishing together. In the research and development of personal computers, he maintained close contact with Stanford University, and helped solve many employment problems.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Helena has been with Han Chudong for a long time, and her eyes are no longer the same as those of ordinary students. She answered decisively: "OK, DreamWorks has a lot of good scripts, and even top female stars have approached me and want me to help recommend them to you."
"You've given me so much face, I must give it to you. Even if it's just to help you gain a firm foothold in Hollywood, I should help you. When I see the right role or the right actor in the future, I will give priority to hiring your friend. It doesn't matter who plays the role anyway. Since he's already famous, his acting skills are probably not that bad."
We were just chatting in bed late at night, and then we talked about trivial gossip for a while, such as who came out, who cheated, who made enemies, or who Hepburn took on a thriller that was not suitable for her image.
Han Chudong didn't know the script, but subconsciously thought that the directors and producers who asked Hepburn to star in a horror movie were probably out of their minds.
