"Adam, it doesn't cost $50,000 to invite Jane to the press conference, and Nancy's contract is not worth $70,000. She faces competition from Jane Powell, Leslie Cullen, and Janet Leigh at MGM. She doesn't have an advantage, and maybe MGM will terminate her contract soon."

After Reagan finished speaking, he looked at Xian Yaowen's face, waiting for his explanation.

"Gippel, if you will allow me to call you that."

[Gipper was a nickname Reagan earned for a movie character, and people close to him would call him that.]
"I like my friends to call me that."

"Hmm." Xian Yaowen nodded slightly, "Gippel, China has an ancient divination culture called physiognomy, which was formed a little later than astrology. There was a similar divination culture in ancient Greece, but it was not well inherited.

Simply put, physiognomy is a theory that infers a person's character and destiny by observing his or her facial features..."

Reagan interrupted Xian Yaowen, "Do you mean that we can infer a person's character and future by looking at his face?"

"In Eastern philosophy, there is a saying that 'appearance is determined by the mind'. There are two interpretations of this. The first is that a person's inner thoughts will affect their views on external things, and the other is that a person's external appearance will be affected by his inner thoughts.

Just like anger, frustration, jealousy, happiness, anxiety, fear and other expressions, they are all reflected on the face. If a person is very happy in life, he will often have a smile on his face, but after a few years, he will have smile lines on his face.

Xian Yaowen pointed at Reagan's eye corners and eye bags and said, "Gippel, you have laugh lines on your face."

Reagan said happily: "So, you think I am living a happy life?"

"Isn't it?"

Reagan said noncommittally: "Maybe."

Xian Yaowen raised his glass in greeting, took a sip of wine, and continued: "Gippel, everyone has a dream, I have one too, my dream is big, to realize it, I need partners and friends.

Physiognomy theory tells me that you and I are very suitable to be friends, so after the Goodluck President promotion plan came out, I chose you to be a brand partner and expanded the plan to create the "Romantic President" project. "

Reagan smiled and said, "Adam, I am honored and I like President Goodluck's idea very much, especially working with Charles de Gaulle."

Xian Yaowen spread his hands and said, "I didn't expect that inviting Charles de Gaulle would be so smooth. If I had known, I would have kept the opportunity for myself. Gipper, you should reduce your salary for the next project to make up for my regret."

"That's impossible. I've already spent the advance payment, and I have a plan for how to use the balance." Reagan said cheerfully, "Perhaps when President Goodluck renews his contract, I can consider not raising the price."

"Huh, is there a clause in the contract that requires us to renew your contract?"

Reagan laughed and said, "Are you going to find someone else? You will only lose more if you do that."

Xian Yaowen glanced at the collar of Yang Gen's shirt and said, "It's not worthwhile to change someone, but don't forget that the contract stipulates that you must wear whatever I tell you to wear. Maybe I will consider launching the Goodluck clown series this summer."

"Adam, I don't care."

Xian Yaowen spread his hands and made an expression that said "I can't do anything about you", and Reagan smiled and clinked glasses with him.

After taking a sip of wine, the two of them changed the topic.

"Adam, when is the filming of Once Upon a Time in Berlin going to start?"

"The right female lead has been found and preparations will begin this month. My plan is to start filming on June 6."

"What day did the incident happen?"

"uh-huh."

"The lead actress is Jane?"

"Ms. Wyman is the lead actress of Once Upon a Time in Berlin, and Ms. Davis is the lead actress of Lolita Island. By the way, I want to explain that buying Ms. Davis' contract has something to do with you, but it has little to do with you. In fact, this is a show.

Miss Davis was not used much at MGM, but she will have many opportunities at Jorge Guinot.”

"advertise?"

“Yeah.”

Reagan raised his glass and said, "I should still say thank you anyway."

"For whom?"

"everyone."

"cheers."

After greeting Reagan, Xian Yaowen began the halftime break.

His rest is not to find a corner to rest for a while, but to find someone who does not have much conflict of interest with him and chat about some light topics.

This person was Gao Feng Xiuzi, who was invited by Zhou Yueyu.

He approached Takamine Hideko, who had not integrated with the others, and asked with a smile, "Don't you like this kind of occasion?"

Takamine Hideko replied: “No.”

"Why don't you talk to someone?"

Gao Fengxiuzi said shyly: "I only know a few simple French words."

“Most people here speak English.”

"My spoken English isn't that good either." Takamine Hideko became even more shy.

"It doesn't matter, actually. Poor speaking makes the listener feel uncomfortable. You just need to speak bravely."

"How rude."

Xian Yaowen patted his chest and said, "Madam, please forget that you are a star. You are just an ordinary tourist in Paris. Relax and do whatever you want."

Takamine Hideko smiled easily and said, "Is it okay if I want to empty the department store?"

"Which one?"

Takamine Hideko smiled slyly, "Next to the Paris Opera House."

"Oh, Mr. Lafayette, you probably can't do it alone. I'll lend you two people, a few guns and a car. You go in with a gun and find the manager. Tell him bonjour, then point the gun at the car parked outside. I think he'll understand what you want to do."

Gao Fengxiuzi covered her mouth and laughed: "Can one car hold all of them?"

"Load more."

Hideko Takamine turned around and burst into laughter with her back to the people.

Xian Yaowen smiled faintly and scanned the entire audience, trying to pick out someone for an impromptu friendly match.

He hadn't smoked a cigar for several hours, and his body was experiencing nicotine withdrawal symptoms. He felt flustered and a little anxious, and he needed to do something to stimulate the production of dopamine in his brain.

After screening a few people, Takamine Hideko turned around and raised her glass to him, "Takano-san, I toast to you."

"cheers."

Gao Fengxiuzi took a sip of wine and said, "Takano-san, I saw you were busy just now. Would I delay you?"

Xian Yaowen chuckled and said, "My busy life is entertaining guests, Gao Feng... No, I should call you Xiuzi instead. Xiuzi, you are afraid of delaying me, don't you think you are a guest?"

Takamine Hideko smiled and said, "Takano-kun, I was just being polite."

"You're welcome, my Hokkaido daughter. I promote you to a friend."

"Hello." Takamine Hideko said happily, "I look forward to the news of my relatives and friends' (good friends') promotions."

"Hideko, you will soon receive news of your promotion again." Xian Yaowen raised his glass to greet him, "Now that we have become friends, don't bother me anymore and take care of yourself."

Gao Fengxiuzi smiled knowingly, "Ha~ye."

Xian Yaowen nodded slightly and left, went into the bathroom to wash up, and when he walked out of the bathroom, he glanced in the direction of Zhou Yueyu, who was standing and chatting with Barbara Hutton at the moment. Looking at the smile on Barbara Hutton's face, it was hard to believe that she had just committed suicide not long ago.

However, her cheeks, collarbones, wrists and other places that can be observed all show that she is thin. Her drinking speed is comparable to that of Ava Jana. She drinks a glass of champagne in one gulp. The unsatisfied look on the corner of her mouth reveals her dissatisfaction with the alcohol content. The rumors that she is an alcoholic should be true.

Her excessive thinness roughly proves that she suffers from anorexia. As for the rumors of drug addiction, they are probably true. There is a question mark about drug use. She is too far away, so I can't smell anything and there is no way to observe her teeth.

Barbara Hutton can be analyzed together with Marilyn Monroe. According to Simpson, when Monroe was in love, she would call him "Dad", but the title of "Dad" was not exclusive to him. Monroe gave the same title to almost everyone who had a relationship with her.

She likes to date older people, not only because the person who can help her on her road to stardom is not too young, but also because older people are more likely to bear the title of "dad".

The reason for this is probably related to the lack of a father in her life. She hopes that any man who shows kindness to her can be elevated to a father.

Monroe's family has a serious history of mental illness. Her mother had a very chaotic private life. It is said that she herself could not be sure who Monroe's biological father was. When Monroe was young, her mother suffered a mental illness and was unable to take care of her. However, she could barely maintain the existence of "maternal love", but paternal love was always missing.

Apart from being rich, Barbara Hutton's growth history is very similar to Monroe's, or it can be said to be even more tragic.

Her father, Edward Hutton, only liked three things in his life: beauty, wine, and making money. He completely ignored his wife and daughter and spent all his spare time with his female companions.

Her mother, Edna, was a woman made of water. She was full of self-pity and grief over her husband's betrayal. She was immersed in grief and had little love for her daughter. When Barbara Hutton was four years old, she died without considering whether her daughter could grow up healthily without her mother.

The death of his wife seemed to have no impact on Edward Hutton's life. He continued to live a life of debauchery, completely forgetting that he had a young daughter at home who needed to be taken care of.

When he remembered that he had a daughter, he simply sent four-year-old Barbara to live with relatives.

In the years that followed, Barbara Hutton moved between different relatives' homes and private boarding schools, and the only way her family members expressed their love for her was to give her money.

Barbara Hutton was a girl who lacked everything except money, including mother's love and father's love. When she grew up, she sorted out the things she had, and it seemed that she only had money, and she could only buy what she needed with money.

What you lack in your childhood is what you want to pursue most when you grow up. Barbara Hutton was a girl who lacked love. When she grew up, she longed to be loved and to have a sweet home.

Because she lacked love in her childhood, she lacked confidence in "love" and even had low self-esteem. She thought there was something wrong with her and therefore she was not worthy of love, which led to her developing a people-pleasing personality when it came to courtship.

To put it bluntly, Barbara Hutton was a woman who was easily manipulated. Because of this, she had a deceived first marriage and a tragic second marriage in which she was treated like a bitch by her husband.

The third time and the fourth time which was about to end, could not continue. I guess she was much more responsible than the man.

Xian Yaowen stroked his chin, hesitating. He just wanted to borrow Barbara Hutton's chicken to lay eggs and earn a little commission by helping her manage her finances. The effect he wanted was to double her assets and make himself famous as a "financial expert".

After the effect is achieved, he ends the cooperation without hesitation, leaving no chance for others to think that he is "taking over someone else's nest".

To put it bluntly, he wanted to put on a show for Jorge Guino, so that he would make up his mind earlier to hand over the assets of the Guino family to him. The longer he delayed, the more difficult it would be to save the collapsing empire. He also wanted to show the American families that if he didn't demonstrate his abilities, it would be difficult for him to find a wife or integrate into the family.

It was as simple as that. He was completely well-intentioned towards Barbara Hutton, but he didn't know this woman well enough, so he was afraid that he would not be able to control the output power of "love" and would passively rise from friendship to love.

Damn, what a hassle. I really want to slap her twice, then grab her arm and shake her, "Idiot, drug addict, give me the money quickly, or else your money will be wasted before you die."

After the complaints, you still have to do the work that needs to be done. Make sure the goal is achieved first, and leave the side effects to worry about later.

Xian Yaowen straightened his suit and was about to step forward when his peripheral vision caught sight of a woman he had not seen before. His eyes locked onto her face and in less than three seconds he recognized the woman as Sasa Sasa Gabor.

She was not yet a star, but as a Jewish refugee from Hungary, she first came to public attention in 1941 when she told the Associated Press that she had danced with Hitler twice, a news that made headlines in many newspapers.

The second time was when she married Conrad Hilton, a self-made Republican celebrity who was famous for running high-end hotels and often held cocktail parties in his hotels. Zsa Zsa Gabor became a socialite overnight.

After she became famous, she found a writer to "co-write" an autobiographical masterpiece. The book was bought by a magazine. Well, it was said that the owner of the magazine was a friend of Conrad Hilton.

Then, the newspapers were flooded with reports that she "low-key" rejected the invitation to play the leading role in the film version of the classic work "Lady Chatterley's Lover".

Perhaps because she had exploited Conrad Hilton to the extreme, in 1947, Zsa Zsa Gabor kicked Conrad Hilton out on the grounds that she had no freedom and self-identity in the marriage.

Her current name is Sasha Sanders, and she lives with the famous actor George Sanders. This marriage is probably intended to pave her way into Hollywood.

Xian Yaowen was puzzled. Why did this woman appear here?

Inviting Hollywood stars to attend the press conference was done in secret and was not leaked to the outside world. The invited persons also asked not to disclose the news to the outside world, so they were preparing to keep a big news secret. Where did this "socialite" get the information?
Xian Yaowen leaned his head back and said, "Block the door, then turn around and see if anyone has a camera. If anyone takes a photo, notify me immediately."

Xie Huiran took the order and left to find Zhou Yueyu's bodyguard.

After a while, Xian Yaowen found that his worries might be a little unnecessary, as a man appeared next to Sasha Gabor, our extra-large pepper grinder, Mr. Porfirio Rubilosa.

Look at the lust in Zsa Zsa Gabor's eyes, as if the invisible became visible, and the claws reached out to Rubilosa's belt.

Well, don't be annoying, move away quickly and don't block the door of desire.

Xian Yaowen left the bathroom door, came to Deliyou, took the cup from her hand, took her right hand with his right hand and walked towards the dance floor.

The two danced gracefully to the rhythm of the music.

The dance steps were not standard. Deliyou nestled in Xian Yaowen's arms. Xian Yaowen put one hand on her lower abdomen and the other hand around her armpit, with his arm supporting her breasts.

Cheeks pressed tightly together.

This is a standard informal ballroom dance.

"Your ex-husband is here."

"I saw it."

"Do you know this woman?"

"Sasha Gabor." Delicious reached back and stroked Xian Yaowen's other cheek. "Adam, don't worry about me. They have known each other for a long time."

"Before you got divorced?"

"Yes, when Zsa Zsa Gabor was still Zsa Zsa Hilton."

"Are you ok?"

"It's all in the past." Deliyou moved her head and stroked Xian Yaowen's face, "I have you and George."

"George and I."

Delly smiled. "George and you."

"I received news this afternoon that Ruo Yunna is pregnant."

"Congratulations."

"I have three more trying to conceive, and I'm trying to quit cigars, which is a bit hard."

Deliyou raised her head and looked at Xian Yaowen, "What do you want to say?"

Xian Yaowen gently rubbed Deliyou's lower abdomen, "I need something new to distract myself."

Deliyou smiled and said, "Adam, thank you for your respect for me. Which one do you like?"

"I don't know yet." Xian Yaowen grabbed Deliyou's hand and spun her around. After pulling her back, the two of them hugged each other with their chests pressed against each other.

"Shall I introduce Jane to you?" Deliyou asked with a half-smile.

"Which Jane?"

"my daughter."

"Oh, Powell, she's not my type." Xian Yaowen patted Deliyou on the buttocks. "Although I don't want you to be stingy, you don't have to be so generous. Let's end this topic here."

"Ha~" Deliyou sneered, hugged Xian Yaowen's neck tightly, and kissed him on the cheek several times, "Dance with me to the end of this song, and then you go find your Betty."

Betty Grable was a synonym for sexy women in the 1940s. Looking for Betty actually meant looking for a pretty girl, but Betty is also Sun Shucheng's English name, so we cannot rule out the possibility that Deleuze deliberately made a double entendre.

Xian Yaowen didn't want to bring up this topic, so he pretended not to understand, "There are still a few guests to greet, and I have to tell Zhou too."

Deliyou's expression didn't change. "Zhou is different from me. It's better not to tell her."

"uh-huh."

Xian Yaowen didn't want to explain in detail the unusual relationship between him and Zhou Yueyu. Zhou Yueyu always claimed to be his wife to the outside world.

The melody ended and he walked towards Barbara Hutton. They didn't talk much, just a simple greeting. They would see each other again soon, and there was no need to be too forceful on the first contact.

After Barbara Hutton, he talked to Alain Bernardin and confirmed that the Crazy Horse nightclub Alain Bernardin mentioned was the one he knew. He made an appointment with the other party in the name of Deliyou's agent to discuss investment matters at another day.

In terms of human nature, Orientals are more reserved than Westerners. They mostly choose to hide some evil ways of enjoyment that are not accepted by mainstream values, while Westerners will call their friends to share them.

In Singapore, the Red House and the Welfare Hotel are enough to accommodate anyone. As for who has more evil ideas in their hearts, just keep it to yourself and find a way to solve it.

In the West, playing with girls at the gambling table is just child's play, a relatively simple way of playing, comparable to drinking tea in a teahouse. If you want something more vulgar, it would be weird. Chinese can only be reduced to measuring the sea with a gourd, unable to give a vivid description. If you want to get a glimpse, you must use your imagination to fill in the gaps.

Paris is the center of his business and a bridgehead for the European market. He needs some places to entertain guests here. He needs to prepare for sailing, camping, horseback riding, wine tasting and meat. He needs to buy manors, ranches, seaside villas, wineries and more private meat restaurants.

Western pornographic food is too vulgar. It crosses his bottom line and he doesn't want to touch it. The Crazy Horse nightclub's practice of giving pornographic food artistic attributes just meets his needs. Sitting around him with a circle of beautiful girls chatting about art and positive energy is very stylish.

If you want to achieve spiritual resonance, you need a private and safe room to have an exploratory cart talk at night.

Privacy and security must be based on the right to speak in the entertainment industry, so investing in nightclubs in Paris was a necessary move for him. The appearance of Alain Bernardin was just what he wanted.

Xian Yaowen greeted guest after guest, and when they were all done, it was already half past nine. Feeling a little tired, he lost interest in playing the game, so he packed up and left.

Back at Fei Baoshu's residence, Fei Baoshu was curled up on the sofa watching TV. Xian Yaowen sat over and hugged her, "What time did you come back?"

Fei Baoshu leaned his head on Xian Yaowen's chest, "I went to the department store to buy things after work, and arrived home at 7:30 to pack up. I just stopped an hour ago."

"Pack your luggage?"

"Ah."

"Don't worry about packing. Go out and have fun while you have time. I don't know when I'll come back to Paris next time after leaving this time."

"It doesn't matter. We've been to all the places we wanted to go." Fei Baoshu hesitated for a moment and said, "When Shuying comes back, the four of us will go to the suburbs to play for a day and take some group photos?"

"Okay, you arrange it. Is the TV good?"

"Fortunately."

"It's okay, but it doesn't look good." Xian Yaowen turned over and pressed Fei Baoshu down. (End of this chapter)
