Seven Hundred and Twenty-Three-Hollywood Fraud

A gray-yellow document bag slowly unwrapped the sealing rope in Wayne's hand. The thickness of the printing paper inside was obviously more than he expected. A thick pile of neatly stacked papers made him frown slightly even before he looked at them.

On the balcony of the bedroom in the main building of Greenberg Manor, Nina and Naomi Watts were all watching the man's actions curiously. Even the assistant lady who personally handled the matter still didn't know what was written in the document. .

You know, Nina has always been the one doing the previous communication with Hollywood Eye Anthony Pellicano. This was the first time that the other party solemnly put the investigation results into a document bag and sent it to the manor.

"Let's talk about what you think of this person."

Seeing that the eyes of the two women were all burning with the fire of gossip, Wayne shook his head in amusement. He was not anxious to look at the thick documents in his hands. Instead, he crossed his legs, lit a cigarette and looked at the two women beside him. .

"A lot of people know him, and in a way, Wayne, he's more famous than you are in the industry."

Without any hesitation, Naomi Watts blurted out. "A descendant of a European earl, the grandson of Sophia Loren, he is surprisingly generous no matter what he does. He is a frequent visitor to high-end parties in the industry, and he is always accompanied by female celebrities, and... ....”

"Ah ha, what else?"

"In the eyes of countless people, you two feel very similar. You always like to chase female stars. Of course, such a rich man who spends a lot of money is destined to be surrounded by female stars." He said it in front of the man. Curling her lips, the Australian girl said unceremoniously.

The fingers holding the cigarette were shaking from side to side in the space between the two of them. Wayne didn't care about the other person's complaints. Anyway, his most powerful talent in life was being thick-skinned. "Well, that's manly nature, Nami."

"One Sword Dominates"

In fact, it's not just Wayne, and it's not just the high-profile Christopher Rockencourt. As long as he is doing well in this circle, who doesn't have the same virtues?

It's just that some people are low-key, some like to show off, and some don't care about other people's opinions at all. This is related to the profession. Generally speaking, superstars standing in front of the stage will be more toned. Senior executives of film companies, or powerful behind-the-scenes workers, are less secretive about this aspect.

It’s not just men, it goes both ways. The well-known female producers, female film company executives, and even female stars who have completely established their status in the industry are all very good at "stamp collecting".

"Selected by multiple media outlets as the two most famous, most unique, and unattainable cars in all of Hollywood."

Recalling the previous reports in entertainment newspapers, Nina said with an obvious joking tone: "Boss, guess which two cars they are?"

"That Christopher Rockencourt car?" Wayne looked at the assistant lady with interest.

"That's right."

Nodding, Nina continued: "The 1 he drove is the most eye-catching car in the circle in the past two years. It is said that it came from Diana's lover."

Upon hearing this, Wayne smiled unceremoniously, holding a cigarette in his mouth and asked in surprise: "No one really believes it, right?"

Before Nina could continue, Naomi Watts' eyes were full of gossip, and she completely ignored the doubts on the man's face. In her opinion, Wayne must have been petty again. She smiled and hugged the assistant lady's arm, her gossip attribute was full.

"Where's the other car? Nina, what's the other car?"

"Just downstairs."

Looking at the Australian actress in a funny way, the assistant raised her eyebrows and shook her head to point to the balcony directly below, next to the small fountain in front of the main building. "You sit there often, don't you?"

"Damn, I thought it was some top-of-the-line supercar."

Obviously, Naomi Watts did not get the answer she wanted. At least in her opinion, apart from old men, only those dirty politicians who are afraid of death would like this kind of elongated and bulletproof car.

"Don't underestimate this car, Nami."

Nina glanced at Wayne and explained with a smile: "There are only a few Rolls-Royce Phantom sedans in the whole world. Except for the boss's one, the remaining two are all in the royal family of a certain country. In your hands. Since this kind of car is specially customized by the royal family and will never appear on the market in the future, it is definitely much more precious than you think."

"Only an old man like Wayne would like this kind of car."

Naomi Watts rolled her eyes, but still did not change her opinion. Then he no longer cared about what was in Wayne's hand, picked up a book on the table, lowered his head and started flipping through it.

The discussion between the two women did not affect Wayne. He was also reading what Hollywood Eye sent. However, as time passed by, Nina was attracted by the changing expressions on his face. , aroused strong curiosity.

"It's interesting, it's interesting, tsk tsk tsk..."

About half an hour later, Wayne threw a dozen sheets of printed paper together on the table. He lit another cigarette and kept groping with the stubble on his chin with one hand, his eyes flashing with rapid thinking.

This investigative report is very detailed, down to the childhood past of the "rich man". What interested him was that many of the things in it were inconsistent with the rumors and what the "rich man" said personally. It could even be said to be completely different.

In fact, the two completely different statements are what makes people confused. Wayne was sure that that guy was indeed rich, otherwise there would be no way that so many big stars in the industry would treat him as a guest.

Don't think that all big stars are not smart enough. The reality is that none of the stars who can succeed in this industry are really stupid. Even if the star himself is not smart enough, there is often an extremely shrewd agent around him.

Therefore, those big stars are definitely not easy to deceive. At the very least, it can be proved that Christopher Rockencourt is indeed very rich. Otherwise, given the extremely realistic character of female celebrities in the industry, it would never be a good idea to ask them to take off their clothes obediently. Low cost investment.

"Let's see, Nina, believe me, it's very interesting."

In a daze, Wayne woke up from his stupor. He glanced at Naomi Watts who was holding him, stretched out his hand and clicked on the investigation report on the table, and motioned to the assistant to read it herself.

Silence returned to the balcony again. Apart from the occasional sound of turning pages in the hands of the two women, the only sound left was the sound of a man sipping black tea from time to time.

Nina's reading speed was very fast, and less than twenty minutes had passed. This top student who graduated from New York University also had a heavy thinking expression on her face.

"Two possibilities, boss."

The assistant lady also glanced at Naomi Watts, put the investigation report into the dusty document bag without leaving any trace, and patiently wrapped the sealing rope around it. Then he looked into Wayne's eyes and whispered his analysis.

"First of all, everything here is fake. The so-called 'Hollywood Eyes' are no longer reliable, but I don't think so. Anthony Pellicano knows very well the consequences of fooling us. He is a smart man People would rather tell us that we found nothing than use their brains for tens of thousands of dollars."

Thinking back on her contacts with the other party over the years, Nina's tone became more and more certain. After saying this, her eyes also shone with "Interesting". She looked at Wayne and continued to analyze: "If everything above is true, I suggest that we simply cancel the relationship with Christopher Rockencourt. We can't afford to take such a risk on a date.

Boss, even if the possibility of this thing being real is less than 1%! There is absolutely no need for us to explore the truth. He continues to be a Hollywood tycoon, banker, businessman, and film investor, and continues to attend high-end drinking parties in high society. Everything has nothing to do with us. "

"Let me think about it, let me think about it..."

After listening to Nina's suggestion, Wayne's upper body simply leaned into the lounge chair, without looking at the document bag pressed by one hand of the assistant lady, and turned his head to look at the garden downstairs. There, several gardeners were hard at work pruning the gardens, and further away, two security guards could be seen patrolling along the woods inside the manor.

Even he still has things he doesn't remember and doesn't understand. After all, in his previous life, he was just a cinema projectionist, one of the most inconspicuous among ordinary people. In Hollywood of this year, it’s normal to not know much.

In fact, Wayne was searching his memory for some clues. Sometimes he himself feels that the 1990s are really not as good as 2,000 years later. At least the further back in time, the deeper his memory of relevant information becomes. Unfortunately, this kind of thing is not under his control.

Indeed, he had no memory of this Christopher Rockencourt, and was even very unfamiliar with the name. But this is completely normal. There are many big shots behind the scenes in Hollywood who are unknown to the public. Who knows that they are not big stars?

But there was a similar thing that kept warning him, that is, the thing that caused the Earth Ball Grass Little Plum to stumble. This incident once made a fuss around the world because Leonardo DiCaprio withdrew the Oscar statuette.

The protagonist of the incident is Mr. Te Zuo-liu. This guy spent a lot of money to propose to Elva Hsiao but was rejected. However, with the image of a fat man, he slept with most of the female stars in Hollywood. Two well-known heirs of the Hilton Hotel are proud to date him. Lindsay Lohan is his ex, and even Miranda Kerr almost put on a wedding dress for him!

When he saw this news that year, Wayne once suspected that foreign girls all liked "fat round". In fact, to put it bluntly, it was because this "fat round" had huge "superpowers"!

This guy spent a lot of money when he first arrived in Hollywood. In a few months, he spent more than 80 million US dollars and successfully joined the upper class of Hollywood. Within a few months, he held non-stop rave parties, purchased multiple mansions without blinking an eye, and spent money on female celebrities in a high-profile manner.

The sports car driven by a certain Kardashian to this day was given by this "local fat man", and the million-dollar dove egg diamond ring on Miranda Kerr's hand also came from his generous wallet.

Why did Miranda Kerr almost put on a wedding dress for him, because he didn't just give him a "pigeon egg". A piano with a price of more than one million US dollars, a luxury yacht with a huge toy on the sea of ​​250 million US dollars, not to mention a world super model, but who is the woman who can withstand such an offensive?

Not just women, he often acts as a checkbook in his interactions with Hollywood male stars. This guy is a die-hard movie fan of Leonardo DiCaprio. When he learned that his idol was short of money to make a new movie, he made up for all the funding gaps for "The Wolf of Wall Street" with a wave of his hand.

Investing in movies is like a stepping stone, like a famous Picasso painting worth 3.2 million US dollars. As long as DiCaprio likes it, he will not blink an eye, take out his wallet and buy it as a gift to him.

Not only famous paintings, but also very disappointed to learn that DiCaprio failed to win Oscar statuettes time and time again. In order to comfort his idol, he directly spent a huge sum of money to buy Marlon Brando's Oscar statuette and sent it to his idol.

When doing these things, this top Chinese-American rich man was only in his early thirties. Many people have doubted where he got such a rich net worth, but he failed to keep it and finally lost it. He is not only a "businessman", "rich man", "movie investor" and "financial tycoon", but behind him is a century-old fraud.

The news was very big at the time, and various gossips continued to spread on the Internet. However, the big stars related to him in Hollywood had different reactions.

The worst thing here is undoubtedly Leonardo DiCaprio. Not only did he take the initiative to return the "Award", but his starring role in "The Wolf of Wall Street" was also controversial.

When it comes to Hollywood in the 21st century, this Chinese-American Hollywood fraudster of the century is definitely an existence that cannot be bypassed. At this time, when Wayne saw Christopher Rockencourt's persona and deeds in the circle, he immediately felt familiar and naturally connected the two.

There's no way around it. The two people's methods of entering Hollywood, even their choices of spending a lot of money, and their methods of courting female stars are so identical.

Coupled with the investigative report sent by Hollywood Eye, it is difficult not to connect the two, so Wayne said it was interesting.

He is never afraid of things being exposed, just like he was not afraid of Harvey Weinstein from the beginning. As long as something is exposed in front of him, he has plenty of ways to deal with it. It was precisely the lack of understanding that made Wayne even more cautious.

Therefore, what he has been thinking about is the process of getting to know each other and himself. After learning the identity of Christopher Rockencourt, Wayne had a strong feeling that this "well-known rich man" in the industry was deliberately getting close to him. From the Oscar Vanity Fair cocktail party when they first met, to the constant outpouring of goodwill, it all shows that there is something in him that the other person likes.

Looking at the diligent gardener in the garden, Wayne murmured to himself. "Tsk, dear Mr. Rockencourt, tell me, will you give me a chance?"

From the personal experience of Mr. Zhang Dongsheng, a very famous mountaineer, we can find that when a person asks you if you can give him a chance, he is not just asking for a chance, he is also giving you a chance!

But Christopher Rockencourt was destined not to know the story of this mountaineer. Also in Beverly Hills, a small private social wine tasting was taking place in a business club. There was no doubt that Christopher Rockencourt was the initiator of this wine party.

"Sorry, everyone."

Putting away the mobile phone in his hand, Christopher Rockencourt picked up the red wine on the table and sat back on the sofa while apologizing. "I just received a call from Ms. Nina Klein, inviting me to be a guest at Greenberg Manor tomorrow."

"Wayne invited you to his home?" Jean-Claude Van Damme, who was sitting opposite, asked.

Nodding indifferently, Christopher Rockencourt took a sip of red wine. "Yeah, you know, Wayne and I have always had a good personal relationship."

After hearing his answer, the expressions of several people present did not change, but when they looked at him, they all undoubtedly paid more attention to him involuntarily.

There is no doubt that the entire Hollywood circle can count on both hands the number of people who could be invited to Wayne Greenberg's home. Countless people want to follow his path, but even if they look familiar, they basically have no chance.

This is a boss who appears to be a gentleman and a bright man, but is extremely difficult to get along with in private. This is a recognized fact in Hollywood.

Think about it, who are the people that Wayne Greenberg can call good friends? Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Bruce Rosenblum, Townsend Rothman, Tim Burton, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, you name it. Whichever name comes out, they are all top power beasts in their respective industries.

Compared to Jean-Claude Van Damme, Mickey Rock, who was sitting next to him, was much more direct. He looked at the man holding the red wine and said seemingly unintentionally: "There have been rumors in the circle that Wayne Greenberg Its film studios will launch a series of cooperation projects with Warner Bros. this year, which will not be..."

"That's right."

Waving to everyone, Christopher Rockencourt nodded casually and said: "As you know, Wayne and I have always had a good relationship in private. He may have encountered some financial difficulties now, and it just so happened that I recently There were no good investment channels, so he was going to ask me to come over and have a chat.”

Several people present looked at each other, and they all felt their eyes light up.

The success rate of Wayne Greenberg's production projects, such as "The Matrix" trilogy, "Charlie's Angels", etc., has been proven countless times. Investing in such a project is completely the first choice for people in the industry. Unfortunately, it was too difficult to catch up with the young Jewish boss.

Everyone knows that as long as Wayne Greenberg nods, countless people in the circle will line up to give him money. But Christopher Rockencourt has become the other party's first choice for financing, which fully proves the relationship between the two.

"Chris, I wonder if Wayne Greenberg's funding gap is big."

As the current girlfriend of Christopher Rockencourt, the latest Oscar-winning actress Helen Hunt asked with her eyes widened. "As far as I know, the project that Wayne Greenberg has invested in is Tolkien's epic masterpiece "The Lord of the Rings." It is a trilogy, and the investment requires at least 300 million US dollars.

There are also "John Wick" and "King Kong" that were reported some time ago. The investment in the former does not seem to be high, but the latter is claimed to have exceeded US$150 million! Who doesn't know that Wayne Greenberg likes to work on big projects, and Chris, the projects that he values ​​​​must be more than small projects. "

"Who knows, you can accompany me as a guest tomorrow." After his girlfriend's kind reminder, he shrugged to everyone and joked to himself: "I hope Wayne's funding gap will not be too big, otherwise, even if it's me, Even if I have some funds, I can’t help him.”

"Really? Honey."

Helen Hunt obviously ignored her boyfriend's self-ridicule, and focused all her attention on the previous sentence. She widened her eyes and said, "Honey, shall I go to Greenberg Manor with you as a guest tomorrow?"

Looking at his girlfriend, Christopher Rockencourt rolled his eyes slightly and said cheerfully: "Of course, this is not a big deal. If things go well, I will have a private chat with Wayne and let him You have an outstanding role in the project. You know, Wayne has always been very kind to his own people..."

The conversation between the two people was heard very clearly by everyone present, including Jean-Claude Van Damme and Mickey Locke, who all held up their wine glasses thoughtfully.
