Best Movie Star

The luxuriously decorated living room is very messy, packed items are piled everywhere, and suitcases are stacked at the door. Several workers are coming and going to transport them to the car outside, completely disrupting this mansion. The quiet, as if in a big move.

Brad Pitt sat on the couch, staring blankly, as if completely stiff.

A foreman ran over and asked, "Mr. Pete, I want to ask about our moving costs..."

Hearing this, Brad Pitt's eyes finally got focus and said, "I will settle with you later."

"This..." The foreman obviously couldn't believe him, "We all have to pay the fee in advance and settle it on the same day."

The housekeeping department of Red Penguin specializes in providing services for the rich in Hollywood and Los Angeles. Under normal circumstances, celebrities and rich people will pay a little bit in advance. After all, it is a small amount of money for them, but it is not a problem if they do not pay in advance. People at this level Will you still be in arrears with relocation fees?

Just in front of this Brad Pitt...

Before the foreman came, he was reminded by his immediate boss, Liszt, the second-in-command of the Red Penguins, that Brad Pitt was about to go bankrupt. In order to avoid many unnecessary troubles in the future, the relocation expenses must be settled on the same day.

Now is the last truckload.

Brad Pitt has been in a bad mood these days. He was about to get angry, but he held back and asked, "How much?"

The foreman took the tablet attached to the credit card machine out of his bag, opened a page and put it in front of Brad Pitt, pointing to the clear bill on the page, saying, "Total $4,580."

so expensive? Brad Pitt frowned slightly.

However, he did not speak. This was not the first time he had dealt with Red Penguin. He had a general understanding of their charging standards, which were more than twice as expensive as ordinary companies, and the bills were clearly displayed in front of him.

Seeing that Brad Pitt didn't speak, the foreman said as a reminder, "Mr. Pitt, are you swiping your card or?"

Brad Pitt pulled out a credit card and gave it to the foreman, who swiped the card machine, raised his eyebrows, and returned the card to Brad Pitt, "Sorry, Mr. Pitt. This card Useless."

"It's impossible!" Brad Pitt frowned, took back the card and looked at it. Seeing that the foreman wanted to urge again, he had to take out another card and said, "Use this one."

The foreman took the card and swiped it again, raised his eyebrows higher, and returned the card again, "Sorry, this card doesn't work either."

"What?" Brad Pitt suddenly realized a possibility and stood up.

"Uh..." The foreman was startled, thinking that Brad Pitt was going to do it.

He quietly made a gesture to the back, and several workers who were carrying things immediately stopped and looked here.

Brad Pitt was just shocked, and didn't mean to do it. He took out a few cards and asked the foreman to brush them. Like the previous two, they couldn't be used.

"I'll write you a check." Brad Pitt tried to find the checkbook.

The foreman is not an idiot. He associated rumors in Hollywood and a phone call from his boss's boss, and immediately shook his head, "Sorry, Mr. Pete, we don't accept checks."

Looking at today's situation, it's no wonder that the check is still valid.

With a professional smile on his face, he said, "Why don't you give me cash."

Brad Pitt couldn't help frowning, "I'll go to the Red Penguin to settle the bill another day."

"Sorry." The foreman was still polite, "Please don't make it difficult for those of us who do things."

A bankrupt Hollywood star, when will the debts be paid off? If he doesn't get the money back, the company back will deduct his salary.

Brad Pitt stretched out his left hand and reached for his wallet, but there wasn't much cash in it.

The foreman saw the watch with his wrist exposed. As a person who often serves celebrities and rich people, he has some eyesight, and he recognized it at a glance as a Vacheron Constantin. The new watch is about 10,000 US dollars.

Brad Pitt is finished. This is the consensus in Hollywood circles. The foreman has also heard from his bosses. For a person like him, a shaved phoenix is ​​no match for a turkey.

"If you really don't have money." The foreman's tone was still humble, but his words were not so pleasant, "I can pay you first."

Hearing this, Brad Pitt stopped and looked at the foreman.

Sure enough, the foreman said again, "Mr. Pete, if I advance the payment for you, you always have to mortgage something, right?"

At this moment, Brad Pitt rushed up uncontrollably, and even had the desire to do it, but when he saw several workers looking at this side faintly, thinking that he was not a pervert like Matthew Horner, he put the The fire was suppressed.

As if giving up on himself, he asked, "What do you want?"

With a humble but hateful smile, the foreman pointed to the watch on Brad Pitt's wrist.

Brad Pitt took off his watch, stuffed it into the foreman, raised his voice unconsciously, "Go to work, now!"

After getting the watch he wanted, the foreman left happily.

Sitting back on the sofa, Brad Pitt covered his face with his hands, not wanting to show his pained appearance in front of others.

He's lost so much lately that a watch doesn't seem to care at all.

"Cloud Atlas" failed, "Alien Battlefield" also failed, and the price of failure was so high that he couldn't afford it.

Think about the high spirits when investing in these two projects, and then think about the loneliness that no one cares about now, the contrast between them is so shocking that people collapse.

Brad Pitt thinks he can still sit here mentally and is already very strong.

Released the hand covering his face, the darkness in front of him returned to light, and his eyes fell on the newspaper he had read before.

"Inception" grossed $88.9 million at the box office in the first week, with a cumulative box office of $88.9 million; "Alien Battlefield" was released for three weeks, with a cumulative box office of $33.85 million...

The investment is larger than the other party's, and the release time is longer than the other party's. As a result, the three-week box office is not even half of the other party's three-day box office.

"Am I so different from Matthew Horner?" Brad Pitt said to himself, "I am so different from Matthew Horner's selection of films?"

Such a thought just flashed, and he suddenly remembered that "Cloud Atlas" and "Alien Battlefield" were also projects that Matthew Horner used to be optimistic about, and he grabbed them from him!

Why did the two projects that Matthew Horner favored before failed?

Brad Pitt couldn't help but ask this question, and then he thought about it, he hardly interfered with the normal filming and production of the crew. The two projects were basically completed according to the ideas of the Wachowskis and Andrew Stanton. Failed?

Is starring Matthew Horner so different from starring Brad Pitt?

Thinking of this, he was a little suspicious of life, but after thinking about it, another possibility popped up in his mind.

Both projects were snatched from Matthew Horner. Did Matthew Horner deliberately let him grab it?

Brad Pitt sucked in a breath, then rejected it again. Who knows if a movie succeeds or fails during the prep period? This is impossible.

Besides, Natalie Portman, who helped out, is the heroine of these two films. Can't you join Matthew Horner and even herself?

With Natalie Portman's self-serving personality, it's definitely not going to happen.

Brad Pitt shook his head, suddenly heard footsteps, turned his head and looked over, someone was walking quickly towards this side, Antonios, the joint agent of several lending funds and banks.

Seeing this debt collector, Brad Pitt couldn't help getting angry and scolded, "I didn't invite you over!"

Antonios smiled and sat on the sofa opposite him, "Brad, you forgot one thing, starting from today, this house no longer belongs to you."

He said unhurriedly, "We allow you to move out today, which is a preferential treatment for past partners."

Brad Pitt bit his lip, this house, the house in Los Angeles, the house in New York, the house in Chicago, are all mortgaged, the houses in other places are fine, the mortgage is "Alien Battlefield" The loan, it is not yet time to repay, but the property in Los Angeles is a mortgage loan from "Cloud Atlas". The original loan has already reached the repayment period, and the other party has given grace until now...

"You can auction my house," Brad Pitt said through gritted teeth.

Antonios raised his finger and shook it, "Wrong, it's not your house since you haven't paid the loan."

Brad Pitt didn't care about this, asking, "I just found out that my account was frozen. Did you do it?"

"We applied to the court." Antonios said directly, "You owe us a very large amount. This is a normal legal process."

"I said, I will find a way to pay it back!" Brad Pitt was angry.

Antonios shook his head~www.wuxiaspot.com~ What do you take back? Shares in Plan B? Mortgage already secured! Your liquidity has long dried up! Most of the fixed assets are mortgaged, and we have applied for legal freezing of the remaining part, and your car is not yours anymore. "

He was not in a good mood for such a large debt to be pursued. "You have no other property except the cash in your wallet! These are not enough."

The anger on Brad Pitt's face faded away, replaced by decadence, "You're taking Plan B?"

"Your mortgage is long overdue." Antonios said flatly, "We will find a new owner for Plan B through auction or other methods."

In fact, they also don't want to see those two film projects fail, but if they fail, they should minimize the possible losses from the loan.

Antonios looked at his watch, stood up and said, "Okay, Brad, you still have one morning to move your things."

After saying this, he walked away without looking back. A bankrupt, to them lending institutions, is no different from a homeless person on the side of the road.
