Chapter 670: Israeli Bond Girl

Downtown Manhattan, inside Universal Entertainment Building.

Charles appreciated the rough cut of Skyfall. It hadn't been long since they wrapped up filming.

"Don't worry, it will be ready for release in December. There are still several months left; special effects and editing shouldn't be an issue." Charles reassured Steve Burke, who had personal interest in the matter.

"With you on the project, I'm not worried at all," Steve Burke smiled and quickly left Universal.

Back in his office, Kate Beckinsale quickly joined him after participating in a series of promotional events for The Green Hornet.

"What's the status of the Zero Dark Thirty crew now?" Charles asked.

Kate Beckinsale poured herself a drink and took a sip.

She sighed a bit, "The sudden news caught the director off guard. They definitely need to rewrite the script first!"

Charles smiled, "Then you can go to the Iron Man 3 crew in Atlanta first. Anyway, Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty won't be released until next year; There's plenty of time for her to refine the script as she likes!"

Kate Beckinsale came closer to Charles and asked affectionately, "At this year's Met Gala, you seemed especially well-behaved; You didn't seek them out?"

Charles pulled Kate Beckinsale into his lap, "I attended several investment conferences. Where's the time?"

Kate Beckinsale, looking sharp in a white shirt, said, "I'm leaving New York this afternoon. Not sure if you've been following the news from the UK, but the news about News Corporation is getting more and more intense!"

Charles slid his hand under the shirt buttons, "I've been keeping up. I'll also be going to Europe this month."

"Yeah," Kate Beckinsale kissed Charles on the neck, "The second leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinals between Arsenal and Real Madrid is coming up. Arsenal has a good chance to advance. Manchester United drew 1-1 at home with Barcelona in the first leg. It's unlikely they will win at Camp Nou. Everyone's guessing the Champions League final will be Arsenal vs. Barcelona!"

Charles smiled, "I'll definitely be at Wembley Stadium for the finals at the end of the month. Unless my Arsenal loses to Real Madrid at home!"

Besides, in the NBA playoffs Eastern Conference first round, the Nets eliminated the Magic 4-2. Their second-round opponent was the top-seed Bulls. Charles didn't care much, as Arsenal's influence was much greater now!

"Alright then, Charles," Kate Beckinsale kissed Charles on the lips and got up from his lap, "I'm off to the airport..."

...

In the afternoon, Charles attended a promotional meeting for the upcoming blockbuster Fast & Furious 5.

To Charles, the story design of Fast & Furious 5 was pretty good, except none of the male stars, other than Paul Walker, looked normal in the movie. It was either muscle-bound guys or bizarre-looking ones!

"The test screening for Fast & Furious 5 was explosive. It will definitely perform much better than Fast & Furious 4," said Philip Davis, the head of the distribution department, with confidence.

Charles smiled, "As our first summer blockbuster, I have great confidence in Fast & Furious 5 too!"

The performances of Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, and Dwayne Johnson in the movie were all pretty good.

Philip Davis smiled, "In three days, the main crew members will head to London for the global premiere, and then the movie will start its worldwide release!"

"This summer is very important for us. Each movie's promotional strategy and resource allocation need to be planned in advance. This month, we have Fast & Furious 5 and The Hangover Part II as major releases, and then The Avengers and Transformers 3 are crucial blockbusters that must not fail," Charles reminded.

"Understood..."

...

In the evening, at the Stonewall Bar on Leonard Street in Tribeca, Charles sat on the couch with Gal Gadot, watching the lively crowd.

"Now, you're a Bond girl too," Charles smiled, stroking her thigh.

Gal Gadot, who had just finished filming Skyfall, was about to start promoting Fast & Furious 5.

Gal Gadot hugged Charles's neck, "Now I'm the Israeli Bond Girl!"

"Nice," Charles said as he kissed Gal Gadot.

"Charles, let's go home," said an emotional Gal Gadot after the kiss ended.

Charles nodded, "Sure, you have to join the crew for promotional activities anyway!"

Later at night, in a villa by the Hudson River, Charles Capet and Gal Gadot kissed passionately as soon as they got home.

In the bedroom, as clothes gradually came off, leaving Gal Gadot in just underwear, Charles pressed her down, "Darling, your figure keeps getting better!"

"Yeah," Gal Gadot smiled, flipped over and pinned Charles down, sitting up to unclasp her bra.

"Charles, do you think I look good?"

Charles nodded, his hand moving across Gal Gadot's chest. Not too big, just right for holding, with a nicely toned waist - she clearly worked out a lot!

Gal Gadot lay down, kissing Charles's chest, "I had a lot of action scenes in Captain America and the Fast & Furious series, and received special training."

"Is that so? Your stamina must be impressive now," Charles said as Gal Gadot slid down further.

Charles immediately grasped her hair firmly...

...

Meanwhile, a scandal that shocked Hollywood emerged. Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger published an apology in the Los Angeles Times.

The news revealed a shocking truth: Hollywood action star Arnold Schwarzenegger had an affair with the family's housekeeper, with whom he had an illegitimate child named Joseph!

The shocking apology sparked wide attention from the media and the public. Although Arnold Schwarzenegger owned up to his misconduct and apologized, it couldn't mend the damage to his relationship with his wife, Maria Shriver.

Quickly, Maria Shriver announced their separation!
