Chapter 226
"You are so powerful. You even know that I am a shareholder of Google. You have to know that I have hardly participated in the management of the company since I invested in it six years ago." Sarah sneered at Steve Jobs The wine glass in his hand showed an expression of surprise and admiration.
"Is Miss Stern always so humble and low-key? But that's not what Mr. Larry Page of Google said. From his description, I understand how aggressive a girl under 20 is, and now Google Your position in the field of search engines undoubtedly proves how accurate your vision was back then.” Steve Jobs has obviously learned some details of six years ago, “To be honest, when I heard that all the investments in Google’s early development came from I myself refused to believe it when it was in the hands of a little girl."
"So what now?" Sarah raised her eyebrows, pursed her lips and smiled, and let herself enjoy the flattery from the "Great Apple God".
Even though she is a Hollywood superstar, she is surrounded by countless praises every day, but when she hears the praise from the great god in front of her, she still has a sense of accomplishment, which is incomparable to outsiders. Yu put her male god to sleep in [-] positions, ahem, of course, if Sarah had to choose between career and beauty, she would not hesitate to choose to clean up and drag her Leon to bed. There is no doubt about this.
Sarah was amused by her momentary brain circuit, especially when she happened to see Leonard who was joking with Johnny Depp not far away, and quickly blew a kiss here, and she immediately smiled She is becoming more and more energetic, and this beauty is undoubtedly a powerful weapon to conquer all men. Even Mr. Jobs, who is full of concentration, was dazzled by the beauty. He quickly lowered his eyes and took a sip of wine to force himself to ignore the beauty in front of him Glowing woman.
Talk about business!Steve, you're here for business!After reminding himself in this way, Steve smiled and continued the conversation between the two: "Now I just ask God to give me good luck so that I can work with the most beautiful and smartest woman in the world." .”
"Believe me, it will be my honor." Sarah blinked, and she can say a lot of good things without using her brain, but a big project involving billions cannot be done with a few words of flattery. Sarah was very curious about Steve's conditions, but she was not lacking in patience, with the most enthusiastic smile on her exquisite face, but she didn't say a word, just waiting for the other party to speak first.
"Both Warner and Sony are interested in Pixar." Steve lowered his eyes and stared at the liquid in his glass.
"It's not surprising. Pixar is an excellent company with a bright future, so anyone with ambitions won't miss it, and Starlight is one of them." Sarah nodded, making no secret of her admiration for Pixar. desire.
"Unfortunately, my ambition is not in Hollywood. In fact, Miss Stern, I prefer to use the word 'dream'." Steve made a small correction and gave Sarah a gentle smile, but he The following words lacked gentle compliments, replaced by a sense of power that cannot be underestimated, "Every once in a while, there will be a change in this world, whether it is culture or technology, change drives the development of the times .”
"That's right! Every once in a while someone will bring surprises to the world." Sarah raised the wine glass in her hand to Jobs, and continued to smile, but what she admired was no longer Pixar, but what Jobs loved the most. Apple, "The birth of your Mac-OS-X operating system is a revolution. It is the favorite of me and the staff of Prophecy.com. The iPod is also amazing. It is already a daily necessity for everyone. Create These people are geniuses, right? Every step of a genius is creating history and changing this era."
"Like the Hollywood event at the beginning of the year? All the media went crazy and carnivaled. They all said that this era belongs to you. You refreshed the history of film and ruled an era called 'Stern Dynasty'." Stein Steve Jobs clinked glasses with Sarah, his eyes became brighter than before, and the conversation finally got to the point, "But what should I say? Hollywood is not the battlefield I focus on. Compared with your movies, your I am even more fascinated by business achievements. Whether it is the social network that will occupy the global market sooner or later, or the promising Google, or the video platform that has just entered the market, this transformation of the Internet age is a truly exciting feast of the times. "
"Wow, so you think so too?" Sarah's eyes widened in surprise. As an actor who loves acting so much that she plans to give up the helm of Starlight, at this moment she acted as if she had been depressed for a long time, and finally saw a Like a true confidant, "What is a movie? It's just an illusory dream. I enjoy the thrill of creating a dream, but this is nothing compared to real changing the world. You know what I mean? In the Internet age, Using technology to paint a career map that can be recorded in history, create real changes, and even influence and change the lifestyles of countless people, this is... this is..."
Sarah seemed to be stuck in a predicament because of being too excited, and Steve, with the same excitement, resolved the embarrassment for the beautiful woman in front of him: "This is our real ambition, our real dream! Only then can it be called the change of the times that created history!"
"YES! That's right, that's exactly what I want to say!" Sarah laughed loudly, and gulped down the wine in the glass happily. The liquid slipped down her throat, and she stuck out her tongue playfully and said embarrassingly. He whispered, "Sorry, I was a little carried away by the excitement, but such a carefree conversation is really rare. After all, I am surrounded by some drama lunatics who have dedicated their lives to movies. I talk to them about code, about network technology, and about changing the future. The way people live? Believe me, that conversation is absolutely depressing to the point of tears."
"Oh, poor Sarah..." Jobs held back a smile and looked at Sarah sympathetically. At this moment, Sarah seemed more beautiful in his eyes. This charming charm was not because of her facial features, but because of her With the flying look in her eyes, she is a proud queen, more like a confident general, fascinating, convincing, and... yearning... "I should be glad that there is already a Mr. DiCaprio in this world, otherwise I would not know Will those men who worship under your skirt start World War III in order to compete for your heart?"
"If it's true as you said, I'm afraid I will become a damned sinner through the ages." Sarah lowered her eyes shyly, lightly touched her flushed cheek with the back of her hand, and muttered in half annoyance, "I really shouldn't drink so much when I get excited. Wine, really shouldn't..."
"It's okay, I can see that you have a good drinking capacity, and you can still complete the next informal negotiation with me with a clear mind. Well... Speaking of Pixar... I believe that the best animations are born from endless creativity and imagination The old Disney is not the best home for Pixar, so I am actually willing to give it to Starlight—a new force full of hope and enthusiasm. Of course, the main reason is you, because Starlight has such a smart , Charming and talented boss.” Jobs raised the wine glass in his hand as a tribute to Sarah, and then, while changing Sarah to a new wine, he stated his conditions frankly, “As for the price I offered, it’s actually very good. Simple, 15% of Google plus 15% of Starlight.”
"Since you are so frank, of course I can't twiddle it. Of course, 15% of the shares of Starlight Pictures is no problem. Let's toast to celebrate..." Sarah had already decided in her heart to put the greedy old man in front of her to death. Still grinning and pretending to clink glasses with each other.
But Jobs shook his head with a smile, and quickly withdrew his toasting hand: "Sarah, Sarah... It seems that your cunning is not inferior to your beauty, just like a little fox that people love and hate, but, Do you think I'm going to confuse Starlight Pictures with the upcoming Starlight Group?"
"Hmm... Group? But we obviously haven't held a press conference to establish a group yet!" Sarah spread her hands a little recklessly, but quickly explained with a serious expression, "Of course, of course I was just here Just kidding, but what is the valuation of a Pixar? Exchange it for shares in Google and Starlight? This is indeed beyond my limit, unless..."
"YES" Steve made an appearance of listening carefully. Of course, bargaining is indispensable in doing business. He never imagined that Sarah would really give him two 15%.
"Unless you are willing to give me a small piece of delicious apple." Sarah also showed the true nature of a greedy businessman, of course, her olive branch is still friendly, "Just like we imagined before, using the Internet and technology Create changes that affect the times, and Starlight and Google are both happy to carry out long-term and in-depth cooperation with Apple. Look, isn’t it a surprise? We can get two deals in one night~”
Sarah blinked rapidly, all the while mastering the conversation like a top chef.With a glance from her, Janet, who had already been on standby, cheerfully pushed out a three-tiered birthday cake.
Today is not a business reception, but little Noah's 7th birthday party. At this time, Sarah, as a mother, must of course be by her son's side. She smiled apologetically at Steve, who was still thinking about it, and let go of that With a full glass of new wine, I concentrated on blowing out the candles with my baby son singing birthday songs.
This is the first time that Sarah's house has entertained outsiders since the wanted criminal broke into the incident. In addition, Sarah and Leonardo have been away from Hollywood for a month, so almost all their friends can be present. On the one hand It is to condolence to Sarah who was frightened, and on the other hand, it is to confirm some rumors about Starlight Company. When they saw that Sarah and Pixar's Steve Jobs had a good talk, everything became clear, and the rumors came true. it is true!
It is not known how many text messages with the keywords "Sarah" and "Jobs" were sent from this mansion at a time, and it is not known how many film company executives looked at the new messages on their mobile phones and pondered, but how many The photo was happily exchanged by the paparazzi outside the door, but it can be seen clearly on the major entertainment websites——
"Sarah is still beautiful, and the death threat has not deterred the legendary actress." With a beautiful profile of Sarah in the sunset, it can be on the cover of "People" in minutes, and such a positive title out of ten Eight and Nine is Dawn's public relations handwriting.
"The DiCaprios are very popular, half of Beverly Hills gathered in 'Haunted House'" is somewhat exaggerated, but tonight's "Haunted House" is indeed star-studded——
Because Johnny Depp lived close, he came to join in the fun as a neighbor, but unexpectedly gave the most popular birthday gift tonight;
Matt Damon, this guy...ahem...cares for the two "survivors" of the shooting incident as Sarah's ex-boyfriend and little Noah's good uncle;
Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston not only came to visit their friends, but also reminded Sarah and Leonardo not to forget to make a guest appearance in "The Time Traveler's Wife". Scheduling conflicts for multiple "Blood Diamond" shoots is never good news!
George Clooney just came to join in the fun with his good brother, but he was just a guest, and he brought little Noah an expensive birthday present, and Sarah of course welcomed it.
Martin Scorsese said: He must personally confirm the mental state of the heroine of the next film, and absolutely will not allow any mistakes in the long-prepared "Infernal Affairs".
As for the presence of the four Anne Hathaway, Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Williams and Heath Ledger, there is a taste of the "Brokeback Mountain" crew's disguised propaganda, of course, except for Michael O. Weitz asked them to go off-camera, and the four really wanted to visit the "shocked" Sarah.
In addition, Sarah specially airlifted the "Harry Potter" child star foursome from the UK in order to make her son happy. Well, in fact, only these four little guys really belonged to little Noah party guests.And seeing the happy appearance of little Noah hugging Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe, Sarah was very satisfied that the private jet did not fly in vain. For her, nothing is more important than her son's happiness Especially after the little guy watched the scene where the criminal was shot dead on the spot at close range, this happiness became even more precious.As for whether doing so is too spoiled for his son?Sarah just wanted to say, what is coddling?Can it be a birthday cake?
Therefore, the protagonist of this party is actually little Noah. For Sarah, Pixar and "Apple God" are really just small things that happen by the way. Everything is difficult at the beginning. She throws the good thread to Michael and Harvey. Then he began to accompany his son wholeheartedly, and any topics such as movies, companies, stocks, and investments had to be queued after Little Noah finished unwrapping the presents.It was probably precisely because Sarah and Leonardo loved little Noah so much that a ridiculous headline appeared in the newspaper the next day—"Noah Stern, he is the biggest man in Hollywood!"
The birthday party of a seven-year-old child is comparable to a small awards ceremony. Such treatment is indeed enviable. The name "Noah Stern" instantly entered the audience's field of vision against the background of the stars.
In the past, Sarah's public relations team must have killed this headline in the printing factory early. No matter what the media wrote about her, it didn't matter. Noah and Arthur must not be overly concerned. This is her protection of her family.
However, today is different. Sarah looked at the newly released "Entertainment Weekly" and raised her eyebrows, and handed it to her family with great interest. Dear son: "Look, this is the disadvantage of being a star, your name will be It has been misused by many media, and even fabricated false news that does not exist at all."
"You will always live under the flashlight, just like me and you. Mom, wherever we go, there will be cameras coming out of nowhere, like this 'click click' to take crazy shots at you." Leonardo used Imitating a camera with his hand, he pressed the virtual shutter to little Noah, and sighed earnestly, "Noah, is this kind of life really what you yearn for? Like a prisoner who has been living under surveillance, it's very annoying. If you can't Get used to it and it will suck you up, swallow you up, drive you crazy."
"Leon..." Sarah rolled her eyes a little, and lowered her voice to remind her fiancé, "Honey, your words are a bit alarmist, and I don't think a seven-year-old child can understand the situation you describe .”
Sure enough, just as Sarah said, little Noah was treated like an enemy by Leonardo's words, half-understood, but soon put aside the troubles he couldn't understand as if nothing happened.
"Is there? Is it so painful to be a star? But I think you and Mom are great! Besides, this title is also cool. Mom, I will become the biggest one, sooner or later I will do it! And , I will get the Oscar’s statuette earlier than Uncle Leon, um, definitely!” Little Noah made a face at Leonardo sticking out his tongue, obviously in his little head, Leonardo Di Caprio is his enemy in life!
"..." The smile on the corner of Leonardo's mouth suddenly froze. As the "intern father", he looked at his fiancée aggrievedly, only to find that the unconscionable Sarah was already holding her son and smiling on the sofa!
"KO!" The immature voice imitated the dubbing of fighting games, and little Noah proudly raised his small fist to the "intern father", full of provocation.
All these little actions were done with her back to Sarah, and when Sarah laughed enough, sat up rubbing her belly, and finally realized that she was going to appease her fiance, Little Noah put away her provocative claws and turned around. He hugged Sarah's arm and shook it, looking up like a young lion with high spirits and cuteness: "Let's go? Isn't Uncle Depp taking me to visit the beautiful chocolate castle? Go! Go! Go! I've already can not wait anymore!"
"..." Mr. DiCaprio, who was not soothed in the end, looked a little sluggish at this moment, as if he had suffered a great blow—maybe the little milk baby who was once softly nestled in his arms Will it really become his enemy in life? !
The author has something to say: Well!Bingjiaolin has entered a state of wheezing and coughing in an all-round way, but what about her love?I have a mild low-grade fever at the moment, I went to the hospital for an examination and everything is normal, but I can’t stop coughing~~~~Amitabha~~~
Little Noah looked disgusted: "I heard that you are my mother's 'mother'? Why are you so weak?"
Sick Jiaolin was ashamed: "The environment is too bad, the end of the world is coming soon, I can't tell the cause of my illness, anyway, it's been a year, and I haven't seen any improvement! If you die, you won't have the chance to appear in the photo!"
Little Noah shrugged indifferently: "I can change to a new grandma, there are so many people who like me now, and you still have to give me the opportunity to appear on camera?"
Bingjiao Lin's fingers trembled: "You, you, you! You are an unworthy descendant! How did I give birth to you, such a heartless little showman!"
Leonardo shared the same hatred: "Yeah, you specifically wrote about this little bastard and me robbing women!"
Little Noah sneered lazily: "First of all, I want to correct one thing! I was born to Sarah and my mysterious father, not some stupid author! Secondly, my mother and I are an inseparable whole, and you, Lai Mr. Leonardo DiCaprio, you are the out-and-out third party!!"
"Pa~pa~pa" Ian leaned against the door frame and clapped gracefully. He didn't say anything, but everything had already been said in silence.
Bingjiao Lin: "Low fever! Don't bother me! Isn't there any cute little angel to hug me? Wronged~~嘿嘤咒~~~ Let me die!"
~~~~~Rolling and selling cute every day, begging to be petted~~~~~
