American Fortune Life

Floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides, you can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of New York from the tallest hotel in Manhattan, the walls are decorated with mother-of-pearl, gold and platinum woven fabrics, and the walls are covered with calfskin. The bathroom in the bathroom, Japanese silk pillows from the 18th century, is full of aristocratic atmosphere, dotted with mother-of-pearl hand-painted walls, extremely luxurious, and in the slightly old-fashioned Tivona Penthouse Suite, a US-Europe trade exchange is drawing to a close.

At the beginning of the negotiations, the United States was quite angry at the hundreds of millions of punitive XING tariffs imposed by the EU. It decided to hold up the trade list, teach the EU a profound lesson, and implement a new banana import system!

However, with the joint efforts of the two parties, a new agreement was finally reached. The settlement of the trade dispute of "don't take it" shows that the US and the EU are resolving their differences in the spirit of mutual respect, understanding and constructive actions of. . .

It can be said that the wind and rain are rushing, the years are rushing, and every drop of time sweats.

Surrounded by Thai silk valances with 22-carat gold threads, and hand-stitched Venetian silk sheets on four pillars, Andy rested on Monica's T with a relaxed face, listening to the phone The person on the opposite side was chattering.

"...well, Mr. Governor, at this point, all I can tell you is that it's up to the market to decide. In order to attract the film and television production industry from California to itself, more than 30 states in the United States have introduced tax incentives. policies, and fierce competition."

At this time, Andy had a mocking smile on his face, but he still pretended to be helpless and said in his tone: "To survive, you can only vote with your feet. Many prop rental companies in California are struggling in a depressed state. To avoid bankruptcy, various means such as layoffs and salary cuts have been exhausted, and some companies have been unable to withstand it and have no choice but to close their doors.

I think the state government, rather than the lobbying of individual film companies, should make changes in tax incentives to attract film and television program producers to return to California. If nothing is done, then there may be a situation where all producers run out. It's like losing the aerospace industry in the 1990s. "

As far as Andy's words are concerned, there seems to be no need to continue the phone call, and the facts are as expected. After a few pleasantries, the phone hangs up, and Andy shakes his head and laughs, while turning the phone thrown aside.

"Ahem... Let me tell you, you two are going too far!" Choked by the second-hand smoke, Andy coughed lightly, and looked at the person who was leaning on the wound, each with a lady's cigarette in his mouth, elegantly Monica and Sophie, who were exhaling smoke, stretched out their hands angrily and flicked left and right, in exchange for two supercilious eyes.

"Schwarzenegger's phone number?" Sophie snuffed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and asked with a slightly raised eyebrow.

"Yeah." Andy lay on his back with Monica on his pillow, shaking his upturned legs in a happy mood, "The film and television crews are fleeing, California is losing its iconic xing industry, and in the shooting activities on the streets of Los Angeles, except for a few Several movies, most of which are students learning how to shoot movies. According to the data, of the 103 pilot TV series that started filming this year, 44 were filmed in Illinois, Georgia, New York, etc., which have tax incentives state.

In this way, the governor is a little anxious, because the producers of many movies and TV series have shifted their shooting locations to other states or even neighboring Canada due to economic considerations, causing many studios in California to provide logistical services for the producers. He and the prop rental company were in a dilemma, and had to cut salaries and lay off staff in order to avoid closing down.

He is also naive enough to think that he can save California's position in the film and television production industry by standing up and appealing not to leave? Don’t even look at it, other states are crazy about giving preferential policies to seize opportunities, like Portland, Oregon, there even introduced a preferential policy of 20% discount, everyone is not a fool,

Naturally know how to choose. "

After complaining with a sneer, he seemed to have thought of something, turned his head to look at Monica and asked with a smile, "By the way, what are your shooting plans for the second half of the year?"

"call--"

After exhaling a puff of smoke, Monica flicked the ash, held a slender lady's cigarette between her slender fingers, shook her head with a faint smile and said, "I just played a supporting actress in Disney's "The Sorcerer's Apprentice". There are several scripts, but none are satisfactory, so there is no filming plan for the second half of the year."

"What about you?" Andy looked at Sophie.

"I've made three films this year, and I'm going to rest in the second half of the year." Sophie shrugged and smiled.

"That's it..." Andy blinked his eyes a few times, pondered for a while, glanced back and forth on the beautiful rosy faces of the two, and then said: "I thought of a special effects makeup artist competition about the movie. Are you interested in being a judge for the new variety show?"

"Special effects makeup?" Monica first frowned slightly, then looked at Andy with some doubts in her eyes and said, "We don't know special effects makeup..."

"You don't need to know professionally. I mainly want you two goddess-level movie actors to make judgments from the perspective of actors. I will also match two professional special effects makeup artists as judges."

"The two of us are just a gimmick!" Sophie glanced at Monica, and after listening to Andy's introduction, she gave Andy an annoyed look and sneered.

"It's not a gimmick, but the key to supporting the ratings of this show. After all, it's an overly professional new variety show. With your two European goddesses as judges, it will be of great help to the promotion and ratings of this show. Besides, you also If you are free, you can be a judge, earn some labor fees, and just play." Andy sat up with a smile, squeezed into the middle of the two, and said, hugging left and right.

"Too time-consuming..." Monica frowned and said after she stubbed out her cigarette.

"Let the two of us be judges together, hehe, how much labor fee are you going to pay?" Sophie didn't stop the dishonest Andy, but raised her eyebrows and laughed.

"The labor fee is easy to talk about, hehe, anyway, I don't want to lose money to outsiders..." Andy laughed.

Although the English translation of this sentence is a bit strange, the two goddesses immediately understood and sneered at Andy, Sophie looked at Andy with a half-smile and said, "Hehe, in order to keep us here, It’s been a lot of work too.”

Monica also raised the corners of her mouth, and squinted at Andy with a smile, while Andy, who had been exposed, laughed twice, kissed each other and said: "That's it, I'll let people get it as soon as possible." Perfect this variety show, and then start to attract investment!"

After that, Andy got bored with the two of them for a while, and then bid farewell to them and left with satisfaction.

"How do you feel?"

Monica, who was bending over to pick up a nightgown from the carpet and put it on, heard Sophie's question behind her, and said calmly without turning her head: "You mean the new variety show, or him?"

"Ask knowingly, what's there to say about a TV program!" Sophie leaned lazily on the pillow, her face flushed and she pouted.

Monica turned to look at Sophie, and said lightly: "I still have the original attitude, if you bloom in full bloom, butterflies will come! To be honest, I still enjoy this relationship with him, but now you are more.

For you and me, there is warmth in even the worst of men. But in a deeper relationship with friends, enthusiasm is not very useful, what is more important is self-confidence and respect. You have to know that a man's loyalty is not just reflected in his body, but that he is always there to take care of you, which is more important than physical loyalty! "

"Well, it seems that I asked a little redundant..." Sophie smiled self-deprecatingly, then raised her eyebrows and said, "However, it feels good to be taken care of by a little man, especially, it actually made me feel a A rare sense of security!"

"Hehe, don't be fooled by the illusion..." Monica glanced at Sophie lightly, then walked to the bathroom, chuckled softly, and said like a joke or a reminder.

From Monica's point of view, there are too many people in this world whose life is no different from a life of wine and food. Whether it's a divorce, or choosing to maintain this almost incomprehensible relationship with Andy, it's because there is no such thing as an abandoned wife in the goddess's dictionary. There are too many things to do in life, there is no need to waste life for past memories.
