The major shareholder of MGM has a much higher status than the average director.
..
"Is that Hayek and Steve Kevin?"
Outside the Oscar dinner, several tabloid paparazzi were staring at all the stars who came and went.
A young man who looked very young, with sharp eyes, saw Kevin and Hayek get into the same car, and immediately excitedly asked the experienced old paparazzi beside him:
"Isn't the industry saying that Steve Kevin has an affair with the heroine in his movie?"
"If we photographed the evidence, wouldn't we make a fortune?"
The young paparazzi said excitedly.
The old paparazzi shook his head and said with a picture of the experience of someone who has come here:
"If he's just a director and we get evidence, even if it's Spielberg, we'll report it if we want."
"But Steve Kevin, he's not just a director, he's a major shareholder in a studio at the top of the Hollywood food chain."
"Trust me, even if you photograph these things, no one will report them."
The young paparazzi looked dissatisfied and puffed up:
"I don't believe it. With such a big director, no one will report his lace news?"
"I think it must be worth a lot of money!"
After all, the young paparazzi drove the second-hand car he bought for $2,000, followed closely behind, trying to photograph the real hammer of the relationship between Kevin and Hayek.
...
On top of Kevin's luxury car.
There was some blush on Hayek's face, with a hint of shyness, and said:
"Kevin, go to my house, I don't want to play those poses with you in the villa."
"That's fine, but if it's at night, it will be hard work, Brother Chen!"
Hayek said so, naturally Kevin could not refuse her request, but for the sake of safety, Kevin could only let Chen Zhiwen help guard outside the house.
Of course, the generous Kevin, at this time, should give some extra dollars.
Chen Zhiwen nodded and remained silent.
When he came across a good boss like Kevin, he would give out bonuses at every turn. All he could do was to protect Kevin's safety with all his heart, and at the same time, don't say a word when he shouldn't.
Keeping his duty, this is the best return he can give to Kevin.
The car drove for an hour and returned to Beverly Hills.
After watching Kevin enter Hayek's house, Chen Zhiwen carefully looked around to prevent anyone from harming Kevin.
Hundreds of meters away from the house, the young paparazzi looked at the bodyguard in the car with binoculars, and couldn't help but have a headache.
Just followed closely behind Kevin's car and took some photos, but I didn't take any particularly important photos.
Nothing but two very intimate photos of Hayek and Kevin in the car.
Originally, I wanted to take a clear photo of them entering a room together, but since the bodyguard is at the door, I guess it won't work.
But with a distant photo of them entering the house, and two intimate photos of them in the car, that's enough.
-------------------------------------
Naturally, Kevin didn't know that he was being targeted by the paparazzi. As a behind-the-scenes person, most people are not really interested in the director's tidbits.
Paparazzi tend to rarely target them, so Kevin didn't take much precaution.
Coupled with his current status, in fact, ordinary newspapers would not attack him.
These are all unspoken rules in Hollywood. If you shoot at him and break such unspoken rules, you will naturally be attacked by the upper-level forces in Hollywood.
Few newspapers are willing to bear such consequences, and this is just one of Kevin's official privileges to squeeze into the upper echelons of Hollywood.
"Hayak, shall we take a bath first?"
Entering the house, Kevin immediately came behind Hayek, helping her to remove the burden on her body while swimming on her body.
"Kevin~~~"
Hayek shouted Kevin's name emotionally, took his hand and walked to the bathroom together...
...
"Skoll, these photos of yours, our newspaper will not and dare not go out."
In a small office, there are newspapers everywhere on the desktop, just like a newspaper office, but judging from the messy situation, the scale of this newspaper office is not large.
The boss sitting in the editor-in-chief shook his head at Skoll.
At the same time, he said again in a serious tone:
"In Hollywood, any news from the upper echelons should not be reported by us, otherwise, the power of backlash will directly destroy your career and my newspaper."
"We can report news about any star, and no one will care about us, because stars are always just the hottest commodities in Hollywood, and the manufacturers and sales of commodities are the upper echelons of Hollywood."
Skoll listened to the boss's words in amazement, and only then did he understand what Hollywood was.
Hollywood is the Hollywood of film companies and capital. They have never been the Hollywood of stars. As members of the Hollywood industry, their lowest-end professions naturally cannot afford to provoke the forces that hold the top power in Hollywood.
Skoll couldn't help but continue to ask:
"So, Steve Kevin, how is it in the upper echelons?"
The chubby boss showed a wise smile on his face, and said slowly:
"You can think of him as a gold medal salesman. Before his performance, which is the box office failure, his status in Hollywood was unshakable, and he was also very smart."
"Not satisfied with the status of gold sales, I chose to use the money I earned and the status of gold sales to buy shares and become a major shareholder."
"Then now, in Hollywood, he is a big man we can't afford to offend."
"Do you understand it?"
The young paparazzi nodded, and firmly engraved the idea of Steve Kevin as a big man in Hollywood in his heart.
