Bab 219: Chapter 219

On the northern coast of France, in the small seaside town of Deauville, Normandy, by the poolside of the Normandy Seaside Resort, Eva Green was lounging in a sexy one-piece swimsuit and sunglasses, reading a book on a beach chair.

Charles Capet, wearing large sunglasses, a floral shirt, and beach shorts, was half-lying on a beach chair, talking on the phone with Phyllis Jones.

"Boss, The Da Vinci Code has already grossed over one hundred million dollars in North America, and it's also made two hundred million dollars in the overseas market. It's a phenomenal movie!" Phyllis Jones couldn't contain her excitement over the phone.

"Relax, our The Da Vinci Code will definitely surpass 200 million dollars in North America. How much has 20th Century Fox's X-Men: The Last Stand grossed?" Charles still had concerns about this comic book adaptation.

"Oh, it was released a week after our The Da Vinci Code, but its North American box office has already surpassed a hundred million dollars."

Charles rubbed his chin. "So it's performing better in the North American market than The Da Vinci Code!"

"But its overseas performance is much weaker. X-Men: The Last Stand has just barely reached a hundred million dollars overseas," Phyllis Jones said with a tone of schadenfreude.

"Not bad," Charles chuckled. "This month, we're releasing The Devil Wears Prada. We need to collaborate more with those fashion brands for promotion. LV will fully support us!"

The movie, The Devil Wears Prada, was widely known by audiences as Queen Wearing LV.

"Boss, don't you need me to take care of you in France? You sent me back to the US right after the Cannes Film Festival!" Phyllis Jones teased.

"You have work to do, and I'm just on vacation here in France. Get ready to go to Asia, especially East Asia. I'll also be there for a while," Charles reminded.

"Oh, okay. I've been staying with Dona these past few days," Phyllis Jones dropped her voice a bit. "I've been sleeping at Dona's place for several days!"

Charles laughed, "Alright, just make sure to get everything I asked done!" Charles was at a hotel where Sophie Marceau had filmed Hidden Assassin.

With Odette Annabin and Amelia Caldwell [T/N: Flight assistants] nearby acting as assistants, Phyllis Jones' return to Los Angeles wasn't a big deal.

No surprise there, Deauville was just a small seaside town with a limited population, and the Normandy Seaside Resort was the most popular hotel.

"Charles, congratulations! The Da Vinci Code by Capet Pictures is a box office hit, grossing over 16 million euros in France!" Eva Green put down her book and smiled at Charles; 16 million euros converts to more than 20 million dollars.

"Indeed, that's great," said Charles, turning to kiss Eva Green, his hand moving up her thigh.

Eva Green responded with a French kiss. After the kiss, she placed a finger on her lips and smiled, "Charles, I overheard that you're going to Asia?"

Charles nodded, "Yes, if not this month, then definitely next month."

"Why? Are you coming with me?" Charles pulled Eva Green into his arms and asked.

Eva Green kissed him a few times on the lips, then shook her head, "I can't. I'm currently discussing with New Line Cinema their new project adapted from the novel His Dark Materials - The Golden Compass. New Line Cinema invited me to play the witch Serafina Pekkala, alongside Nicole Kidman. My agent agreed. I need to prep for the role and start shooting!"

Charles perked up at the mention of The Golden Compass. "A big-budget movie with a budget of more than 150 million! And Daniel Craig has also agreed to join the cast, right?" Charles smiled.

"Yes, Daniel Craig joined The Golden Compass before me. Nicole Kidman was the first confirmed, followed by a wide search for child actors," Eva Green spilled everything she knew.

"Charles, the World Cup's opening ceremony is next week in Germany. Any thoughts?" Eva Green suddenly changed the subject.

Charles whispered in her ear, "How about we research these two balls tonight, and I'll tell you the result?"

He gently brushed her chest with a mischievous grin, making Eva Green roll her eyes. "Haven't you had enough fun in Deauville these days?"

"Let's go back and check it out," Charles said, seeing Eva Green's slight interest.

"I think France or Italy will win. Since the World Cup is in Germany, let's rule them out," Charles said, hugging Eva Green on the sofa, expressing his World Cup predictions.

"Just bet on these two national teams to win!"

"Germany has no chance? England seems strong this year," Eva Green wondered.

"It's a gamble. If you bet too much on too many teams, the winnings wouldn't cover the losses. What's the point?" Charles, not one for gambling himself, encouraged his woman to win some money.

Eva Green nodded, "I want to bet a few thousand euros, not like the crazy bets you made back then!"

As she spoke, she untied her bikini top, exposing her upper body, and initiated another passionate kiss with Charles.

Just as the two were about to take things further, there was a knock on the door. "Sir, this is Amelia Caldwell. Someone is here to see you!"

Since it was Amelia Caldwell, Charles didn't want to get angry. He glanced at the sexy Eva Green in his arms.

Eva Green smiled, got off Charles, kissed him a few times, and said, "I'll be waiting for you tonight!"

Charles stepped out and saw Amelia Caldwell in a trendy short skirt. Her model-like figure was striking.

"Let's go!" Amelia Caldwell didn't pay much attention to the scantily clad Eva Green in the room.

Because this time, an even bigger star was looking for their boss.

Led by Amelia Caldwell, Charles quickly arrived at another room in the hotel. As expected, it was Sophie Marceau.

Charles had been in Deauville for a week and had only had a private meeting with Sophie Marceau once, just a couple of days ago on the weekend.
