The luxuriously decorated living room was very messy, with packed items everywhere, and suitcases stacked at the door. Several workers coming and going were transporting to the outside car, completely disrupting the tranquility of the mansion, as if they were moving.

Brad Pitt sat on the sofa, his eyes bleak and seemed to be completely stiff.

A foreman ran over and asked, "Mr. Peter, I want to ask, our moving costs..."

Hearing this, Brad Pitt's eyes finally had a focal length and said, "I will settle with you later."

"This..." The foreman obviously couldn't believe him, "We all have to pay the fee in advance and settle the same day."

The housekeeping department of Red Penguin Company specializes in providing services to wealthy people in Hollywood and Los Angeles. Generally speaking, celebrities and wealthy people will pay a little advance. After all, this is a small amount of money for them, but it is not a problem if they don’t pay in advance. Will people at this level still default on relocation fees?

It's just Brad Pitt in front of him...

Before the foreman came, he was reminded by Liszt, the second-in-commander of the Red Penguin, that Brad Pitt was about to go bankrupt. In order to avoid many unnecessary troubles in the future, the relocation costs must be settled on the same day.

Now it is the last truck of goods.

Brad Pitt has been in a bad mood these days and is about to get angry immediately. Still, he held back and asked, "How much?"

The foreman took out the tablet computer connected to the card swipe machine from his bag, opened a page and placed it in front of Brad Pitt, pointed to the clearly listed bill on the page, and said, "The total is $4,580."

So expensive? Brad Pitt frowned slightly.

However, he didn't say anything. This was not the first time he had dealt with Red Penguin Company. He had a rough understanding of their charging standards. It was more than twice as expensive than an ordinary company, and the bill was in front of him with an extremely clear view.

Seeing that Brad Pitt didn't speak, the foreman said as a reminder, "Mr. Pitt, are you swiping your card or?"

Brad Pitt took out a credit card and handed it to the foreman. The foreman swiped it on the card swipe machine, then raised his eyebrows, and then returned the card to Brad Pitt, "Sorry, Mr. Pitt. This card cannot be used."

"This is impossible!" Brad Pitt frowned, took back the card and looked at it. Seeing that the foreman was about to urge him again, he had to take out another card and said, "Use this one."

The foreman took the card and swiped it again, raised his eyebrows higher, and returned the card again, "Sorry, this card cannot be used either."

"What?" Brad Pitt suddenly realized a possibility and stood up.

"Uh..." The foreman was startled and thought Brad Pitt was going to take action.

He quietly gestured to the back, and several workers carrying things stopped immediately and looked here.

Brad Pitt was just shocked and had no intention of taking action. He took out a few more cards and asked the foreman to brush them. Like the previous two, they were all unusable.

"I'll open a check for you." Brad Pitt wanted to find a checkbook.

The foreman is not a fool. Lenovo's rumors about Hollywood, and the call from his boss's boss, and immediately shook his head, "Sorry, Mr. Pete, we don't accept checks."

Judging from today's situation, it would be strange if the checks are still valid.

He had a professional smile, "Or...you give cash."

Who would carry so much cash on him without any trouble? Brad Pitt couldn't help but frown, "I'll go to Red Penguin to settle the bill another day."

"Sorry." The foreman was still very polite, "Please don't make things difficult for those of us who do things."

When will a bankrupt Hollywood star pay back the debts? If the money cannot be recovered, the company will deduct his salary when it turns back.

Brad Pitt stretched out his left hand and touched his wallet, but there was not much cash in it.

The foreman saw the watch with his wrist exposed. As a person who often serves celebrities and rich people, he has some eyesight and recognizes it at a glance that it is a Vacheron Constantin. The new watch is about 10,000 US dollars.

Brad Pitt is finished, this is a consensus in the Hollywood circle. The foreman has heard his bosses discuss it. For people like him, the phoenix with hair loss is not even a turkey.

"If you really don't have money," the foreman's tone was still humble, but his words were not that nice. "I can help you advance first."

Hearing this, Brad Pitt stopped and looked at the foreman.

Sure enough, the foreman said again, "Mr. Pitt, if I help you with advance payment, you always have to mortgage something, right?"

At this moment, Brad Pitt was so angry that he couldn't help but feel the desire to do it. But when he saw several workers looking at this side, thinking that he was not a pervert like Matthew Horner, he suppressed the fire again.

As if he had given up on his own, he asked, "What do you want?"

The foreman showed a humble but hateful smile and pointed to the watch on Brad Pitt's wrist.

Brad Pitt took off his watch and stuffed it to the foreman, unconsciously raising his voice, "Go to work, now!"

After getting the watch he wanted, the foreman left happily.

On the sofa, Brad Pitt covered his face with his hands, not wanting to be painful to show in front of others.

He has lost too much recently, and it seems that he doesn't care about a watch at all.

"Cloud Map" failed, and "Alien Battlefield" also failed. The cost of failure was so high that he could not afford it.

Think about the high spirits when investing in these two projects, and think about the loneliness that no one cares about now, the contrast can simply blow people to collapse.

Brad Pitt thinks he can still sit here in a normal state, and he is already very strong.

He let go of his hand covering his face, and the darkness in front of him returned to light, and his eyes fell on the newspaper he had read before.

"Inception" has a box office of US$88.9 million in the first week, with a cumulative box office of US$88.9 million; "Alien Battlefield" has a cumulative box office of US$33.85 million in the first week...

The investment is bigger than the other party and the release time is longer than the other party, but the box office of three weeks is not even half of the other party’s three days.

"Is it that big difference between me and Matthew Horner?" Brad Pitt said to himself. "I have so much different visions of choosing the films between Matthew Horner?"

Just as this thought flashed, he suddenly remembered that "Cloud Map" and "Alien Battlefield" were also projects that Matthew Horner once optimistic about, and he snatched it from him!

Why did Matthew Horner fail in these two projects that were optimistic about before?

Brad Pitt couldn't help but ask this question, and then he thought about it. He had almost no interference with the normal shooting and production of the crew. The two projects were basically completed according to the ideas of Wachowski and Andrew Stanton. Why did they fail?

Is it so different to starring Matthew Horner and Brad Pitt?

Thinking of this, he was a little suspicious of life, but after thinking about it, another possibility popped up in his head.

Both projects were snatched from Matthew Horner. Did Matthew Horner deliberately let him snatch it?

Brad Pitt took a breath and then rejected it. Who knows whether a movie is successful or failed during the preparation period? This is impossible.

Besides, Natalie Portman, who helped out, is the heroine of these two films. You can't join forces with Matthew Horner to cheat her on her own, right?

With Natalie Portman's selfish personality, he would definitely not do this.

Brad Pitt shook his head, suddenly heard footsteps, turned to look over, someone was walking quickly towards him, Antonios, a joint agent of several lending funds and banks.

Seeing this debt-compulsing person, Brad Pitt couldn't help but be angry and scolded, "I didn't invite you here!"

Antonios smiled and sat on the sofa opposite him, "Brad, you forgot one thing. From today on, this house no longer belongs to you."

He said slowly, "We allow you to move out today, which is a preferential treatment for past partners."

Brad Pitt bit his lip. This house, Los Angeles house, New York house, Chicago house, were all used as mortgage loans. The houses in other places were fine. The mortgage was a loan from "Alien Battlefield". It was not yet time to repay, but the real estate in Los Angeles was a mortgage loan from "Cloud Map". The loan had already reached the repayment period, but the other party was graceful to now...

"You can auction my house," Brad Pitt said gritting his teeth.

Antonios raised his finger and shook it, "Wrong, this is not your house since you can't pay the loan."

Brad Pitt didn't care about this and asked, "I just found out that the account was frozen. Did you do it?"

"We applied to the court." Antonios said directly, "You owe us a very large amount, and this is a normal legal process."

"I said I'll find a way to pay it back!" Brad Pitt was angry.

Antonios shook his head, "What are you going to pay for? Plan B shares? It has already been mortgaged! Your working capital has long dried up! Most of the fixed assets have been mortgaged, and we have applied for legal freezing for the rest. Your car is no longer yours."

He was in a bad mood if he wanted to pursue such a large debt. "You have no other property except the cash in your wallet! These are not enough."

The anger on Brad Pitt's face gradually disappeared, replaced by decadence, "You want to take Plan B?"

"Your mortgage has been overdue," Antonios said calmly, "We will find a new owner for Plan B by auction or other means."

In fact, they didn't want to see those two movie projects fail, but if they failed, they had to minimize the possible losses from the loan.

Antonios looked at his watch, stood up and said, "Okay, Brad, you still have one morning to move your stuff away."
Chapter completed!
