Chapter 326 Christmas Bells Jingle Bells
Although Jed has acquired Blue Sky and Pixar quite predictably, and has been committed to the development of computer animation at the same time, history has not developed in the way Jed expected.Although there is no Pixar, Disney has joined the army of computer animation after bumps and bumps; this is not counting Dreamworks Animation, which has been inseparable from Jade's Galaxy Animation.As the backbone of the animated film back then, Warner Bros., which also owned DC Comics, also heard that they were gradually establishing their animated film department.
In terms of traditional movies, although Jade kept MGM and joined Sherman Entertainment, this only made the North American movie market more complicated.Sony Pictures is still proud of the world, and the only Warner Bros. who can shake its status has been stabbed several times by Jed in this time and space, and Jed himself is still "not enough" to face Sony Pictures.
In terms of TV, although Jade has a large number of excellent TV series and reality shows in his hands, the American TV industry is indeed not vegetarian, and they also responded to many equally wonderful TV series and reality shows.The terrestrial TV networks in the United States are still dominated by NBC, CBS and ABC. Fox managed to earn the reputation of "the fourth largest TV network" with its own reality show.As for the we TV network that was forcibly cut off by Jed, it was "The Lady's Body and the Maid's Life". Except for the somewhat good ratings among young people, there is nothing particularly outstanding.Fortunately, Jed's Art Entertainment TV Network is firmly in the second place among the top five North American cable TV channels, although Jed thinks that Redstone's cheating and merging of a Viacom TV network is completely bullying children.
Perhaps the mainstream media will evaluate Jed as an "entertainment tycoon" or "media tycoon", and even some professional media will respectfully call Jed a "film master" or "Internet pioneer", but Jed always feels that he is Is traveling through the crowd not a very successful example?Because Jed has never discovered that he exudes any "dominant aura", on the contrary, he has been plotted against several times, and he is also restrained by others and cannot completely retaliate.
In such a gloomy mood, Jed took a big vacation for himself, not only declined all invitations to award ceremonies, he even didn't show up at the annual meeting of the Screenwriters Guild, which he has never been absent from.And in this not cold winter, Jed seemed to be ill.
After the doctor's examination, he told John: "Mr. Sherman is just a viral cold, but since Mr. Sherman had undergone heart surgery, we have to stay in the hospital for observation for a few days. In addition, Mr. Sherman's I'm not in a particularly good mood, and seem to be prone to depression, I suggest that Mr. Colombo should contact your psychiatrist for a consultation."
"Depression?" John was taken aback. "It's impossible! How could Jed have depression? He always gives people an optimistic and positive image. In our opinion, he is simply a well-maintained sports car." The engine is generally quite powerful.”
"Depression does not mean that optimistic people will not get it." The attending physician said with a smile, "Although I am not a professional physician in psychiatry or psychology, I also know a truth. Once a good engine stops, it is easy to lose weight. There were a lot of glitches."
"I understand what you mean." John frowned, "I will contact the psychiatrist as soon as possible."
After John sent the doctor away, Jed, who was resting on the hospital bed, couldn't help frowning.If anyone knows Jed's psychological state best, it must be his pillow man John.Probably since Disney announced the establishment of a computer animation department, Jed's mood seemed to be the same as the terrible haze weather in London.Originally, John thought that Jed was worried about the impact of Disney Animation on Galaxy Animation, but in fact, the old rival DreamWorks Animation did not overthrow Galaxy Animation in the field of computer animation, let alone Disney Animation, a newcomer?But Jed seemed to get into a dead end because of this, frowning all day long, and finally contracted a cold because of it and was finally hospitalized.
Jed's hospitalization was terrible. Thinking of his previous heart disease, many reporters immediately surrounded the hospital entrance.John had to come forward to clarify that Jed just had a cold, and the hospital was just for prudence.After reassuring the reporter, John contacted his psychiatrist to come and consult Jed.
After two hours of consultation, the psychiatrist said to John with a serious face: "I'm afraid I don't have any good news for you. Mr. Sherman did show early signs of depression, but the current situation is not serious, and he doesn't need it for the time being." Special medication or behavioral therapy. But I suggest that Mr. Colombo can take Mr. Sherman to some places where he can relax. As long as his mood can go through this dark period, the symptoms of depression will naturally gradually fade away. Disappear. Otherwise, we will only have one more hypochondriac.”
"Jed, shall we go on holiday this Christmas?" John suggested. "We can go to England first to see how our future house looks like, and then go to the mountains in northern Italy to ski? Finally, we can go to the southern hemisphere." Go to the beach and soak up the sun, I think a sunny place will make your mood better."
Jed also knew that John was worried about his recent situation, so he agreed with a smile. "Anyway, in the future, I have to get used to Christmas without awards season, so I might as well get used to it earlier."
After the two discussed it, they first took the children and flew directly to London.The villa in Berkshire has always been prepared there, and the construction of the Merseyside farm and the acquisition of the Liverpool team are still in progress, so Jed and others plan to spend Christmas in the villa in Berkshire up.Because Berkshire is a royal resort, the land in good locations is very tight, so it is already great for a foreigner like Jed to own a single-family villa. As for the manor, it is only eligible for the royal family and nobles. .
Fortunately, although the villa looks a bit old, the interior decoration is magnificent in the Victorian era, and it also takes care of the needs of modern life.In front of the villa is a vestibule, which is divided into two blocks by a gravel road.The larger one is a lawn and a slide, showing that this family has children; while the smaller one is planted with several oak trees that are not tall, and there is a specially prepared lawn under the oak trees, which should be arranged in the future A place for the kids to BBQ.Around the house, a circle of roses, the national flower of England, is specially planted.The backyard of the house is surrounded by a high wall and a ring of thick beech and oak trees that shields the view from the outside; the lower part is blocked by a hedge of roses and crape myrtle.
There is a greenhouse in the backyard, which grows many precious flowers; there is also a swimming pool; in addition, there is a small playground, which is a place for children to have fun.The entire detached villa has three floors, and there is a small attic above the third floor.The first floor is the living room, dining room, kitchen, entertainment room, smoking room, and houses for servants; the second floor is the master bedroom, children's bedroom, study and guest room; the third floor is basically a storage room.Because the children are still young, the two children's bedrooms actually have doors that lead directly to the lounge outside the master bedroom.
Because it is a British building, there must be a lounge outside the bedroom for the owner to change clothes, make up, and wait for the hostess.And the master bedroom also has a nice master bathroom and a patio facing the backyard.When Jed and John decided to spend Christmas here, the real estate company in charge of the house immediately prepared a supporting housekeeper, driver, gardener, valet, maid, cook and nanny.The originally empty house suddenly became lively and crowded, which made Jed relax a lot.Because they don't know any neighbors for the time being, both Jed and John gave up their plans to invite others to participate in Christmas.I usually take the children to walk around this quiet community. After all, the children will go to school here in the future, so it is good to get familiar with it early.
On Christmas Day, Jed, who had always thought that British cuisine was synonymous with the dark cuisine world, discovered that there are actually many delicacies in British Christmas meals.As a result, John complained: "Do you think our chef is a British chef? Didn't you realize that there is a mix of French, Italian and Turkish food here? I really don't know how Gordon and you are friends. If you let him know If you can't even eat these basic dishes, I think he will definitely break the relationship!"
While savoring the delicious food, Jed replied with a smile: "He won't. Don't think he knows French and Italian food very well, but when it comes to Chinese food, haha! I can beat him ten times by myself. .”
"Really? Daddy." Frona looked at Jed with reverence, "Is Daddy's food really better than Uncle Ramsay's? When will Daddy cook for you?" What shall we eat?"
Jed was taken aback for a moment, his culinary skills actually stayed on the "mouth".Seeing Jed's embarrassment, Matthew felt like his younger sister, "If Daddy knew how to cook, he would have cooked it for you every day, and then I wish you would bring his food to Mary and the others every day, and then you can eat it again." In exchange for Mary and the others to flatter Daddy."
"What about your father?" Jed rolled his eyes at his son.
Although this Christmas is not as hustle and bustle as in previous years, but far away from the world of Hollywood, it seems that this Christmas is also extraordinarily flavorful.After dinner, the two children felt a little sleepy, so the nannies sent the children away.Jed leaned back on the aged fabric sofa and lit himself a Havana.Although the United States has always imposed an embargo on Cuba, it is interesting that Havana cigars, as a specialty of Cuba, appear on the desks of all politicians and plutocrats in the United States.You must know that Jed and John’s Christmas gifts are Rose Valley red wine produced by their own winery, and they will also include a box of Havana cigars when they meet important friends.These more important friends include the President of the United States, the Vice President, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Commerce, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Majority Party Whip, the Minority Party Leader, and the Party Whip...Jed can't believe that they don't know that the Havana cigars he sent are absolutely It was not a product that came in through the US Customs aboveboard, but they accepted it tacitly.Even when Jed went to visit the chairman of the Republican California Committee, he was surprised to see a box of Havanas.God knows, this guy is a hardliner who supports the embargo against Cuba.
