Chapter 876 - Rumors (1/2)
It seemed that Robert was indeed doing very well in Hollywood. To own a mansion that was over 1,200 square meters in the crowded Hollywood Hills, it would have cost him over 10 million US Dollar.
A gym, a steam room, a sauna, a swimming pool, a home theater, and everything imaginable were all available. The balcony directly faced Los Santos. Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, it overlooked the beautiful skyline of Los Santos. On both sides of the mansion were green hills that looked refreshing.
“The living room is the highlight of the entire building. The fireplace is built out of limestone. The modernist style with milky white furniture combines the sense of line and artistic feel. This makes home life comfortable while at the same time reflect the concept of high quality and low luxury of different eras. The floor-to-ceiling large glass windows coincide with the wooden beams, rendering a strong Spanish-style romanticism in contemporary home décor,” when Jiang Chen walked into the mansion, Robert blabbed on and on.
“Did you memorize the entire description on the pamphlet?” Jiang Chen mocked.
“Absolutely not,” Robert waved his hand quickly, but then said, “I only memorized a few paragraphs.”
At this time, after entering the living room, Jiang Chen heard a bout of laughter from the balcony not far away.
“Hey, Robert, are you done? If you don’t come now, we’ll finish this bottle of champagne you have kept for ten years…”
“Oh! Sh*t! Don’t do that, that’s my life!” Robert shouted exaggeratedly, kicking his leather shoes aside and walking into the house.
On the balcony, men and women were laughing and chatting. Jiang Chen followed Robert into the living room. A man passed through the door on the balcony and came in their direction.
“Haha, Robert, where is the big deal you are talking about? If you’re just showing off your relationship with the FBA ‘old friends’… Oh God, you, are you Jiang Chen?” The man who was grinning suddenly stopped, his eyes almost popped out as he stared at the man beside Robert.
“Yes, nice to meet you.” Jiang Chen extended his right hand with a smile.
Although he felt he had seen this guy somewhere, he couldn’t recall the name. Unless it was a particularly liked director or actor or if they had impressive features, he generally didn’t pay attention to what the person’s name was.
“I’ll introduce you. This is Bryan Singer. If you’ve seen the X-Men, you must be familiar with him.”
Hearing the name Bryan Singer, Jiang Chen suddenly put his face to a name.
Speaking of Bryan Singer, most people associated him with the term X-Men. From the success of the “The Usual Suspects” in 1995, Bryan Singer officially entered the Hollywood circle from his personal production. By the year 2000, the “X-Men” adapted by him received unexpectedly great success. Then on, his directing career was tied to the X-Men franchise.
It was not that he didn’t try to make a transition, but he seemed to be cursed. Whether it was “Superman Returns” or “Jack the Giant Slayer”, the fiasco of the box office caused Warner Bros. to weep and cry and cast a shadow over his directing career.
Hollywood was a real place. Whether the future of a director was bright or not was directly linked to the box office.
But Jiang Chen remembered this guy’s name, not because of the X-men, but because he heard through the grapevine that this gay was bisexual.
It was indeed a memorable feature.
“Nice to meet you. Mr. Jiang Chen. I always thought that Robert was bullsh*tting. I didn’t think it was true!” Holding Jiang Chen’s hand, Bryan looked excited.
“It’s also nice to meet you, Mr. Singer. The X-Men is also very famous in my country. Oh, I have seen Apocalypse.” Jiang Chen smiled and quietly withdrew his hand.
Shaking hands with someone who may be interested in him, the feeling gave him goosebumps.
Although it was only a rumor…
After all, it was a party hosted by the old pervert Robert. In addition to those friends he made in Hollywood, there were also many blondes and some were even Hollywood movie stars.
As Robert put it, he was considered successful in Hollywood, and several films that performed well in the box office made him a successful producer. In addition to Bryan Singer, Jiang Chen also saw Alicia Vikander. She was Laura Croft in the “Tomb Raider” released this year and the star of this party.
However, Jiang Chen knew clearly, even for the experienced pickup artist Robert, this kind woman could be quite difficult. Just relying on the identity of the producer may not be enough to open her legs, and judging by how comfortable she was at the party, it didn’t look like she and Robert had a relationship beyond friendship.
However, when she saw Jiang Chen, she, like the rest of the people at the party, showed a considerable degree of surprise… and interest.
“Mr. Jiang Chen, after the party, can I invite you to my house for a cup of coffee?” Alicia gently bit her bright red lips, and when no one was around and offered with a voice full of temptation.
This proposal was quite attractive. Everyone knew what coffee equaled to in this situation.
If only…
“I’m sorry, Ms. Lau… Ms. Alicia. This proposal is indeed very tempting, but my temporary security adviser probably won’t allow this.” Jiang Chen regretfully declined her invitation.
