Chapter 435 The Power Behind
Chapter 435 The Power Behind
"Of course, you've always done a great job in the movies." Phoebe held Verina's hand and explained softly, "Relax, sweetheart. All we lack is an opportunity."
"Opportunity?" Realizing that she had something else in her words, Verina controlled her emotions and turned to look at her, "You mean..."
"I heard that Anita has a dinner date with Joshua Douglas next week. Perhaps this is a 'good opportunity' that we should seize."
Hearing this, Verina Melode subconsciously frowned and moved her lips hesitantly, "But, I..."
She understood what Phebe meant by revealing the news to her, but the relationship between her and Anita Brown was not like that of an ordinary "friend" in Hollywood - at least, Anita almost never took her to any business dinners.
More importantly, for this French flower who calls herself an artist, asking others for help for such a thing is really embarrassing and does not fit in with her "romantic and sentimental" personality.
"No buts. I know what you want to say, but you have to deal with Anita." Phoebe continued without giving in, "Dealing with her is only the first step in the plan. Only after you meet Douglas can I help you deal with him."
"You probably don't know that Joshua Douglas is currently secretly selecting the heroine for his next film. Anita Brown probably took the initiative to meet him because she heard some rumors."
"You know Douglas and his son's reputation in Hollywood even without me telling you. Only if we seize this opportunity can we turn things around - or do you want to be suppressed by Nicole Su for the rest of your life?"
Speaking of Nicole Su, Verina's expression changed instantly.
After a moment's thought, she reluctantly nodded, "Okay, I'll give it a try."
Sometimes, faced with cruel reality, many people have only one choice: compromise.
For example, Verina Melode, who has already failed two consecutive times, and Anita Brown, who is currently at the Oscar celebration party.
This has been a tradition over the years - after the Oscars ceremony, celebrities will go together to the afterparty hosted by Vanity Fair to celebrate their victory together.
For some people, this award ceremony might be worth celebrating, but for Anita, she didn't want to stay here and continue to pretend to be nice to a group of people wearing masks. Not only could she not show her true emotions, but she also had to be on guard against the photographers' meticulous filming at all times - it was simply a living torture!
"Smile, please? Hollywood is a harmonious big family, and I don't want you to be the only outlier in it." Robert Bob elegantly handed her a glass of champagne and whispered sideways, "Don't forget my reminder, there are cameras everywhere here - now, immediately, show your sweetest smile."
"And then? Are you going to push me to socialize with the big shots who are new tonight?" Anita tightly grasped her wine glass. "Bob, you promised me that I would be the first Oscar winner among the new generation of actresses, but have you done it?"
Robert Bob sighed and said in a deep voice, "David LeBlanc personally helped her. He not only invited Michael Bloomberg, but also persuaded the Fink family to help. You should know that in this land, as long as the Fink family wants to do something, even the president can't stop it."
"How is it possible..." After understanding the whole story, Anita's face instantly darkened - she certainly didn't think that Nicole Su was a poor little thing without any backing, but she didn't expect that her backers would be so much more powerful than she thought - if the Jews controlled the high-quality resources of the entire Hollywood, then BlackRock Group, as one of the three major Jewish financial groups, controlled the top part of it.
Even in the US presidential election, they are often present.
How could a mere Asian person find a way to establish a relationship with Jewish nobles?
Thinking of this, Anita's expression became slightly out of control.
Robert Bob ignored her distorted expression. "So, control your temper, girl - if you don't want to be the next Joanna de Havilland."
He believed that his client would not be a complete idiot, and such a brief statement would be enough to wake her up.
Joanna de Havilland?
Could it be that this whole thing was part of Nicole Su's plan?
The so-called "falling incident" was not a coincidence at all. The girl might have started planning it a long time ago... starting from the audition, no, starting from Bondi's contact with Joanna's agent, all of this was deliberately arranged by her!
If she had a strong support like BlackRock, then it would not be difficult to bribe a small staff member. As a double agent, Bondi was obviously a great actor and perfectly deceived Joanna's team and Slate PR. After that, things became even easier. He appeared in front of the media as the most innocent victim and won a lot of sympathy. Then there was a bloody public relations war...
Yes, with Michael Bloomberg protecting her, Joanna de Havilland had no chance of winning in this war of public opinion, and she was indeed beaten without any chance of fighting back...
Thinking of Joanna's final embarrassing end, Anita's eyelashes trembled in fear - she should have thought of it earlier. In a place like Hollywood full of lies and secret deals, almost everyone has secrets that cannot be known to others. In this case, it is not so strange that Nicole kept the connections behind her a secret - after all, she is just an Asian, and if her backing is not strong enough, it is impossible for her to make it in Hollywood.
Fortunately, she was not as reckless and stupid as Joanna, and she had not had time to do anything to the girl except occasionally publishing negative news...
The tacit understanding of their cooperation over the years made it easy for Robert to see through Anita's emotional changes. Seeing that she had finally regained her composure, Robert Bob softened his tone and said, "Wise girl, it seems that you understand what you should do now."
Anita glanced at him, said nothing, put on a perfect Hollywood smile, and walked to the center of the crowd.
At this point, she could only pray that the other party was broad-minded and loved making friends. In any case, even if she couldn't be a winner like Nicole Sue, at least she couldn't be Joanna de Havilland...
