Chapter 128 Invitation
When Jack Warner, a Freemason, came to visit again, Evan was surprised and maintained the demeanor he should have.
He shook hands with Warner.
"Gentlemen, chat slowly. I have to go to the kitchen, or I will go hungry at noon."
Audrey bowed to Warner and then left the living room.
After watching Audrey leave, Warner retracted his gaze, faced Evan, and said in an extremely envious tone: "You are such a person favored by God."
Evan glanced at Warner without replying.
Warner paused for a moment and continued, "Evan, you might have any objections to me, right?"
"This is not the mind that a man should have."
"Audrey can perform better than you at this point."
Evan said: "Stop talking about these things that are not available. Can you just say it? What's the matter with me?"
"I don't remember the relationship between us was so good that you could come to the door at will."
That's what Warner nodded, stopped talking nonsense, took out an invitation from the suit and handed it to Evan.
Evan hesitated for a moment and took it.
He suddenly found that he was a little suspicious about the invitation. When he saw it, he would think of a dead person, which was a little psychological shadow.
Evan held the invitation in his hand and did not rush to open it. He looked at Warner and asked, "Mr. Warner, is this a Freemasonry party?"
"If possible, call me Milton." Warner made a small suggestion, Milton was his middle name. His father was also called Jack Warner. Since his father dumped his biological mother and married him, the relationship between the father and son has not been very good.
Regarding Evan's question, Warner smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, you can turn it on and confirm it."
"Evan, although I am a Freemason, I am not as enthusiastic about recruiting people to join the society."
"Didn't you say that you won't consider joining the club before you reach your age? We will naturally respect your decision."
Evan opened the invitation skeptically and found that it was an invitation to a movie screening and dinner.
The name of the movie is "The Sin of Harold Diddlebock".
The film's producer is Howard Hughes.
Seeing this name, Evan's pupils shrank significantly.
Seeing that Evan didn't say a word, Warner thought he was not interested and said, "Evan, it seems that Audrey is participating in a musical. I wonder if she is interested in participating in a movie?"
"If so, then I think this is an opportunity to get to know Hollywood."
"In addition, this Mr. Hughes is a sensible figure who is usually not easily seen..."
Just as Warner was about to say something in detail, Evan suddenly interrupted, "Can I know, why do you send me an invitation?"
Warner replied: "There is no special purpose, I just want to have a good relationship with you."
Warner is telling the truth.
Evan thought for a while and said, "Thank you, I've accepted the invitation!"
"Oh, that's good!" Tan Xing was interrupted, and Warner no longer had the desire to continue. He looked at the time and found that it was already past twelve o'clock. Since Evan had received the invitation, Warner proposed to say goodbye.
Evan did not leave anyone.
"Looking forward to you and Audrey's style at that time, goodbye!"
Warner and Evan said this as they shook hands and said goodbye.
Warner smiled and he thought it was a good start.
Evan returned to the living room and saw Audrey standing next to the sofa wearing an apron, holding the invitation in her hand.
After reading the invitation, Audrey looked up at Evan and asked, "Will I go there too?"
Evan said: "Will you go or not."
Audrey sat down on the sofa and said, "That means you will go there, right?"
Evan nodded and said, "I want to see if there is any chance to meet producer Howard Hughes."
Audrey asked curiously: "Producer? Do you want to enter Hollywood?"
Evan was stunned and then smiled and said, "Of course not, the point is not the position of producer, but this person, Howard Hughes!!"
Audrey doesn't read the news often, so she doesn't know Howard Hughes.
Hughes is a god-like man and a genius. He inherited a large family business at the age of eighteen. He used this money to enter Hollywood and spent three years producing a flying movie "Hell Angel" that made him famous. This movie alone made him earn nearly 8 million US dollars.
In addition to making movies, Hughes has many side jobs.
He set up an aircraft department under his company, Hughes Tools, to develop efficient and fast aircraft, and to serve as a test pilot himself. The aircraft company, which came from this department, was not only one of the major suppliers of the US Air Force, but also built the largest aircraft in the world.
Of course, the plane is still in the factory and has never flown before.
He also took over Global Airlines, which greatly promoted the development of the civil aviation industry.
However, Hughes, who was extremely successful in his career, has many regrets.
First, he had extremely severe obsessive-compulsive disorder with a quirky personality. He was said to be obsessed with the size of peas (one of his favorite foods) and used a special fork to sort the peas by size. This obsessive-compulsive disorder became more and more serious as he got older and worked stress, and later he had to stay away from the world.
Secondly, after a brief first marriage, he lingers among the flowers in Hollywood and is a recognized playboy.
In addition, he was extremely addicted to adventure and thrilling attempts, and thus experienced a car accident and two crashes, but both survived successfully.
The latest crash occurred on July 7 last year. The XF-11, a plane flying by Hughes, was its first flight. During the flight, an oil leak caused one of the propellers to rotate in the opposite direction, which caused the plane to stagger and quickly lose its altitude. The XF-11 eventually crashed at a country club near Beverly Hills. The accident caused Hughes' heart to shift, heavy bleeding in his lungs, broken ribs, fractured skull and clavicles, and severe burns throughout his body.
However, not only did he survive, but only half a year later, the newspaper published photos of him sitting in the cabin with a bandage on his head.
Of course Evan is interested in getting to know such a magical character.
“Wow!”
After hearing Evan's introduction to Hughes' legendary deeds, Audrey exclaimed in a low voice, then frowned and said, "How about I'd better accompany you? It's Friday anyway."
Evan said: "I said it, let it be for yourself, don't force it."
"By the way, the meal is ready..."
"Ah!" Audrey screamed at this time and ran to the kitchen in a panic.
Fortunately, the soup was not dried, but it was a little thicker.
Since Audrey agreed to attend the dinner, in the afternoon, Evan took her to the Friesman House and customized a dress for her.
At Audrey's insistence, Audrey paid for the money himself.
Old Friesman gave a discount.
While Audrey went to the fabric room to select fabrics, Evan and Old Friesman talked about the recent situation in the store.
After hearing Old Friesman say that his income rose by 30% last month and that he had already broken even, Evan smiled and said, "Old Friesman, I didn't say anything big, I just said that it would improve as long as I persisted for a while. Look, hasn't this come true!"
