From Hollywood to Media Empire

As Christmas approached, maybe the festive atmosphere dispelled the gloom of the Wall Street protests.

Hollywood was buzzing with activity and there wasn't a hint of negativity. Award season was in full swing, and the scenes of all the stars competing for attention were endless!

In Burbank, at the Universal Tower, Jon Feltheimer, the chairman of Lionsgate Films, made a special visit to see Charles Capet.

"Charles, is it really okay to cast Mel Gibson in The Expendables 2?" Jon Feltheimer was here to ask in person. After all, the production budget for The Expendables 2 was $100 million.

This was the most expensive film that Lionsgate was currently developing, and they had to take it seriously.

Charles pressed his hands down slightly, "There won't be any problems. Don't worry, the main revenue for The Expendables series comes from the overseas market. Mel Gibson's comeback won't affect the film's release. He's just a supporting actor. Hollywood isn't ruled by Jewish capital anymore!"

Jon Feltheimer nodded, "Actually, we approached Mel Gibson quite some time ago, but someone stopped us."

"Not anymore. Mel Gibson still has some draw," Charles smiled.

With Charles Capet's assurance, Jon Feltheimer left feeling very relieved!

...

In mid-December, with the arrival of the shortened NBA season, trades between clubs began to unfold.

A three-way trade between the New York Liberty, Utah Jazz, and Golden State Warriors concluded successfully!

In Los Angeles, sitting in Kate Beckinsale's villa, Charles laid on the bed holding a sports newspaper.

"Don't joke around. My judgment isn't wrong," Charles scoffed as Stephen Curry underwent surgery on his right ankle during the 2011 offseason but didn't fully resolve the problem. The Liberty's decision to trade Devin Harris was not seen favorably.

"Darling, I believe in you," Kate Beckinsale said with a smile.

Charles pointed to Stephen Curry in the newspaper, "Just wait until this kid heals. He's going to be a standout!"

"The NBA Commissioner David Stern stopped the three-way trade between the Lakers, Hornets, and Rockets. That must make you happier, right?" Kate Beckinsale pointed to the news in the paper.

The Lakers planned to send Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom to get Chris Paul.

The Hornets would send Chris Paul to get Goran Dragic, Kenyon Martin, Luis Scola, Lamar Odom, and a first-round pick.

The Rockets planned to send Goran Dragic, Kenyon Martin, Luis Scola, and a first-round pick to get Pau Gasol!

Charles laughed, "It's okay." In the end, the Hornets and the LA Clippers completed the trade. The Hornets sent Chris Paul and two future second-round picks to the Clippers, getting Eric Gordon, Chris Kaman, and Al-Farouq Aminu in return.

"Clippers," Charles stroked his chin, thinking that Clippers owner Donald Sterling was a staunch racist.

"What's up with the Clippers?" Kate Beckinsale asked, puzzled.

"Oh, Clippers' owner Donald Sterling really hates black people," Charles shrugged.

"There are lots of people who hate black folks," Kate Beckinsale kissed Charles on the shoulder. "Just make sure you don't show it, especially since you're already at odds with Jewish capital right now. If you add racism to the mix, even you could get into trouble."

"Don't worry, I won't. I'm thinking about how to get a bigger clash between the Jewish people and black people," Charles said. "The Wall Street protests earlier, even though four out of the six who died were black, unfortunately, the blame was mostly taken by the NYPD Commissioner."

Kate Beckinsale shook her head, "Nothing can be done about that. Michael Bloomberg is a major figure in Jewish capital; he can't go down. While he doesn't have the same high status as you do among Anglo-Saxon capital, he's a significant representative of Jewish capital in America."

"To deepen the conflict between black people and Jewish people, you need to point out Jewish discrimination against black people," Kate Beckinsale suggested.

"There are many white people who discriminate against black people. You need to highlight the Jewish aspect. Since a significant part of Hollywood media power is in your hands, you can wait for the right moment."

Kate Beckinsale, a high-achiever who left Oxford University, had a sharp mind far superior to an average Hollywood high schooler.

"The NBA is definitely a gateway. There are a lot of black players in the NBA, and it has a big influence. If any news about racial discrimination involving the NBA comes out, it will easily spark a big discussion," Kate Beckinsale suggested, encouraging Charles to focus on the NBA.

"NBA!" Charles nodded, remembering that Donald Sterling's racist recordings were leaked by his young girlfriend.

At 77 years old, Donald Sterling's girlfriend was not even 30.

"Kate, you're sharp as ever," Charles said, leaning in to kiss her on the lips.

"Mmm..." Kate Beckinsale responded to his kiss, her hand caressing his abs.

...

At the luxurious SLS Hotel in Los Angeles, a grand party was held to celebrate The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1.

Popular stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart attended together, and numerous media outlets eagerly reported the event!

"Charles, I've spoken with the President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Tom Sherak. He's going to reduce the number of Jewish members," Evelyn Capet said, holding her son's hand. "And, five Jewish members of the Board of Governors will also leave!"

Charles nodded, smiling, "I also talked with the President of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, Aida Takla-O'Reilly. The Foreign Press Association will reform, increasing female members and reducing Jewish ones."

"You really do have your grip on women's rights," Evelyn smirked, "Alright, I just bumped into Steve Burke, he seems to have something to discuss with you. You should meet him. Now that MGM is totally in line with you!"

As Brian Roberts' trusted executive, Steve Burke managed MGM Studios. Was he coming to ask about Skyfall?

"Alright," Charles agreed without hesitation.

...

Later, Evelyn approached Alan Horn, the newly appointed Co-Chairman of Universal Studios Entertainment, "Good evening, Alan!"

"Oh, Mrs. Capet, good evening," Alan Horn said, observing the lively scene. "The Twilight Saga isn't much behind Harry Potter!"

"It's still not as good. The box office for Harry Potter is too high," Evelyn replied.

"But The Twilight Saga was cheaper to make..."
