From Hollywood to Media Empire

Enter post-millennium Hollywood. A place full of opportunities, where independent films are still making inroads, Marvel is still on the rise, and Disney is not yet the dominant player. Beautiful Hollywood actresses are also young, and streaming media has not yet started to go crazy. It is also an era full of difficulties, and the dark side behind the bright Hollywood is also difficult to look at. Unofficial translation of 我,好萊塢的君王 by 颜可颜

Chapter 514

Los Angeles, Westin, inside Kate Beckinsale's villa.

Kate Beckinsale tightly embraced Charles Capet who was on top of her, "Honey, aren't you gonna get off me?"

Saying this, Kate Beckinsale playfully patted Charles Capet on the back!

Charles rolled off, took a few breaths, looked at the woman next to him, and gently fondled her, chuckling, "Your figure is still amazing, time hasn't left any marks on you."

Kate Beckinsale smiled, lightly nibbled on Charles's shoulder, "You, your sweet talk hasn't changed at all!"

At 36 years old, both Kate Beckinsale's figure and face were still in good shape, but she couldn't compare to a twenty-year-old girl anymore.

"Hold on, I'll get us some drinks," Kate Beckinsale said, getting up.

Soon, Kate Beckinsale returned with a bottle of wine and two glasses.

Quickly, they were sitting on the bed drinking. "By the way, Capet Pictures is gearing up to develop The Green Hornet. You're set to play the female lead. I have high hopes for the director. The director and the second male lead are both him, but the lead male hasn't been decided yet. However, the villain seems to be cast!"

Kate Beckinsale nodded without hesitation, "No problem at all. It seems Marvel doesn't plan to release Iron Man 3 in 2011, so I'm free."

"Iron Man 3 isn't coming anytime soon. Next year, Marvel's main releases are The Avengers and The Incredible Hulk 2. Although the first Hulk movie is coming out at the end of this year, Marvel's planning a sequel. Even if Hulk's performance is unstable, they'll still make a sequel!"

Kate Beckinsale nodded. She usually listened to Charles's decisions.

"By the way, is there anything special about The Green Hornet's villain? The lead guy isn't picked yet, but the villain is already confirmed?" Kate Beckinsale asked with some interest.

"Oh, it's Nicolas Cage. He's interested in this villain role because it's a more humanized character," Charles smiled.

"These past couple of years, except for Angels & Demons which did well at the box office this year, Nicolas Cage's other movies haven't performed great. Plus, he's really strapped for cash now!"

Kate Beckinsale took a sip of her wine, "I did hear Nicolas Cage lost a lot in the subprime mortgage crisis. Over at Sony Columbia, they've invited me to reboot Underworld. They said they can adapt the script according to my wishes. What do you think?"

Charles paused for a moment, then laughed, "Looks like they're not giving up. They just developed Resident Evil: Afterlife this year, and now they want to reboot Underworld 4.

Honestly, the Underworld series does have some fans in the B-movie market. However, the plot seriously lacks logic.

If you're interested, you can surely participate. It's up to you, really. You've already done the trilogy, and Sony Columbia's developing more likely for the cash grab!"

Kate Beckinsale nodded, "I'll think about it. Underworld is a low-budget type anyway and it could easily typecast me. I need to think it over carefully. Besides, the trilogy's story is already concluded, so this fourth one would be tough to adapt!"

Actually, Kate Beckinsale didn't really want to continue with Underworld. She had plenty of opportunities now.

Her role as Pepper Potts in the Iron Man series had significantly boosted her fame!

"Recently, I've tried my hand at romance films, but they didn't turn out so well," Kate Beckinsale said, putting down her glass.

Charles hugged her close, laughing, "You mean this year's family drama remake, Everybody's Fine? Another star-studded but hollow film. With Robert De Niro, Drew Barrymore, and you, it didn't even feel like a romance! These films are tough. This year's He's Just Not That Into You and next year's Valentine's Day are the same - filled with stars but terrible stories."

Kate Beckinsale felt a bit uncomfortable with Charles's teasing. She tried to hold back her desires and spoke, "Since Pearl Harbor and Serendipity, I haven't really been cast in any romance films. But Juno and The Departed helped my reputation a lot. Iron Man's huge success boosted my influence even more. Otherwise, I'd really be stuck in those low-budget, poorly made indie films!"

Kate Beckinsale snuggled closer to Charles's chest and looked up, "None of this would be possible without you," she said, then kissed him passionately.

With Kate Beckinsale so affectionate, Charles passionately responded, pinning her down once more.

"Hey, Charles, what do you think of Scarlett Johansson's body?" Kate Beckinsale whispered in his ear.

Charles kissed her lips, smiling, "Not bad."

Kate Beckinsale gave Charles a playful look, "She's got a 32D, probably feels a lot different, right?"

Charles fondled her chest a bit, "Each has their own charm, you can't really compare."

Kate Beckinsale leaned in closer and whispered seductively in his ear, "How do you feel about a threesome...?"

Hearing Kate Beckinsale's suggestion made Charles's eyes light up. Scarlett Johansson was known to be quite open. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so close with Keira Knightley and Eva Green.

Now, with Kate Beckinsale showing interest too, Charles couldn't help but be excited!

"Darling, are you serious?"

"Well, I've given you the chance. While filming Iron Man 2, Scarlett and I got along pretty well. If you don't want to, that's fine too," Kate Beckinsale mainly felt insecure about keeping Charles's interest at her age.

Even though Charles seemed very interested in her, she couldn't be sure it would last long. Since Scarlett Johansson was also involved with Charles, it might be better to keep things fresh for him.

"Absolutely," Charles whispered in her ear, "Let's invite Scarlett to join us on the boat trip in a few days!"

"Sounds good," Kate Beckinsale said and then kissed Charles again.
