But now the time has been set, and now there are three or four hundred guests here, things must continue.

At six o'clock in the evening, the casino officially opened.

There was originally a fireworks show, but it could only be cancelled because of the rainstorm, and everyone could only hold a simple opening ceremony at the casino.

There were no big names, so Siegel invited Mayer and several other well-known bigwigs to help cut the ribbon together.

Under such hurried conditions, the casino officially opened.

The guests sat on the table and began to play, and the casino hall gradually became lively, which made Siegel a little relieved.

Siegel was anxious and shouted: Send someone to check immediately to see what's wrong, hurry up.

The staff ran out to check in the rain and found that there was a problem with the transformer. Siegel hurriedly asked people to repair it, and at the same time asked people to light candles in the casino.

Only candles can't play at all. Someone impatiently left the casino and went back to the hotel room. It is winter, the temperature is only about 45 degrees, and it is raining heavily. After the power outage, there is no air conditioner in the room, which looks very cold and damp.

The weather in Las Vegas today is good, blue sky and white clouds.

At noon, guests came one after another, and the casino became more lively again. Hardy and Ava also played for a while.

Hardy has little interest in gambling.

He has read a report that some scholars have studied that when people gamble, they secrete a large amount of dopamine. This substance makes people feel happy, but this happiness will turn into a negative emotion after gambling, and people go back to be happy again. Gambling is what is called an addiction.

But when Hardy was playing, he didn't feel that way at all, and it was far better than making a business or being with a woman.

But right now.

The casino is in trouble again.

People gradually felt that the temperature in the hall became very cold.

At this time, the casino staff found that the central air conditioner of the casino was broken.

It is a cold winter now, the highest temperature is about 10 degrees, and the lowest temperature is only about 1 degree. Without the air conditioning, the hall becomes very cold, and the gamblers feel very uncomfortable.

After more than ten hours of repairs, the air conditioner of the casino was finally restored, but the gamblers have left a lot, and many people feel very disappointed with this Christmas Las Vegas gambling trip.

Not to enjoy, but simply to suffer.

People like Mayer and Warner Bros. who came to cheer couldn't always stay here and leave the next day.

Day three.

There were only more than 100 gamblers in the entire casino, and there were not even many service staff, so the huge casino seemed empty.

Originally according to Siegel's design, the hotel has more than 300 rooms, and the casino can receive more than 1,000 gamblers every day, but now there is not even a fraction.

Moreover, there is only gambling as an entertainment item, and there are no other entertainment items at all. Except for those who are addicted to gambling, people will withdraw after playing for a day or two, and it is difficult to retain guests.

Hardy sees a problem with the casino and finds Siegel.

Mr. Siegel, it's better to advertise in the newspaper, I believe that will attract some tourists. Hardy said.

It has already been advertised, and it can only attract a small number of gamblers. The biggest problem now is that other facilities here are not perfect. Flamingo is no different from other casinos, and it can't retain customers at all. Siegel Annoyed.

His original idea was to turn this place into a tourist resort and attract a large number of guests, so that there would be more gamblers, but now there is no attractive place, just relying on gambling is not much different from other casinos, it can only attract real people. of gamblers.

See the number of real gamblers is limited.

Yesterday, he asked the club to calculate the account and found that not only did he not make any money, but he also lost a lot of money in the past few days. Moreover, considering that there are only more than 100 customers per day, the casino will continue to lose money every day.

Operations have costs.

The casino's service staff, security, dealers, and management staff add up to more than 100 people, and the salary is not a small expense.

Hardy can't do anything about Flamingo's current situation. To this point, it can be said that it is caused by Siegel's stubbornness, it can also be said that it is caused by the persecution of other families, and it is good luck.

God does not let him happy, accidents happen frequently, how can such a business make money.

Mr. Siegel, there are still many things to do in Los Angeles. I will leave today. Hardy also said his goodbyes.

Siegel nodded.

Let's go, I'll find a way here. If the business is closed for a while, Tommy's guys will give up. When this place is completely built according to my plan, I believe it will definitely attract a large number of guests. Siegel still Stick to your own ideas.

The team returned to Los Angeles to send Ava home, and Hardy said, I'm going to New York and come back in a few days.

Go get busy.

Ava knew that men had a lot of business, and they had a lot of business in New York.

Hardy had people book tickets before, boarded the plane directly to New York, and landed at the New York airport ten hours later.

......

Elizabeth Taylor's filming ended that day, and when she returned to her room, she found a few big boxes on the bed.

She opened the box and found a delicate doll inside.

Wear nice clothes.

Tyler saw at a glance that it was the kind of Barbie that Mr. Hardy advertised, and her first thought was that Mr. Hardy was coming.

Put down the doll and find it in the room, but there is no one in the room.

She ran out of the house to find the assistant, and the assistant told her with a smile that Mr. Hardy didn't come, those things were delivered by the courier.

Tyler went back to the room and saw a card inside.

Hardy tells Taylor that he can't come to the opening event, and Taylor becomes very disappointed.

Lie down on the bed all of a sudden.

Although she liked Barbie, she wanted to see Mr. Hardy even more, and now that Mr. Hardy couldn't come, Tyler felt very sad.

Yesterday, she received a call from her parents, saying that she was not so sad that she couldn't come to spend Christmas with her.

Sometimes she will read some emotional magazines, such as Reader's Digest, which says that in her situation, it may be the feeling of falling in love with the other party.

Have you fallen in love with Mr. Hardy?

In the next two days of filming, Taylor always looked a little lost, but this time happened to be filming a scene where Matilda was very lost, and Taylor's state was very suitable. Director Kirk was very satisfied, and kept praising Taylor that he was more and more able to grasp the character's emotions, and that he was a good actor by nature.

Only Taylor herself knew that she was really thinking about Mr. Hardy.

Christmas Eve is here.

The crew simply celebrated.

The next Christmas, when the crew had a day off, Taylor didn't want to go out to play, and stayed in the hotel room with nothing to do. Several Barbie dolls became her playmates.

At the end of Christmas, the crew started work again, and Tyler threw himself into intense filming. Two days later, when Tyler ended a scene and returned to the rest area, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

Hardy is chatting with Hitchcock at the moment. The film has been shot four-fifths of the way, and it will be completed in about 20 days. At that time, he will return to Los Angeles for post-production. The progress of the crew is slightly slower than before, but These big directors seem to have this problem.

Ah~~ Mr. Hardy. Taylor shouted happily and ran towards Hardy.

Ruyan throws her arms.

Tyler threw himself into Hardy's arms.

Hardy picked up the girl and turned around twice, looked at Hitchcock and said, Mr. Director, can you give Taylor a day off? I promised to accompany her on Christmas, but it was delayed because of some things.

Hitchcock shrugged, You're the boss, and you'll be responsible for the loss of delayed shooting anyway.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Hardy took Taylor away. There is nothing else to do today, just play, go to the amusement park, eat food, and go shopping.

In fact, as long as he can be with Hardy, Taylor is very happy.

The two came to the Fifth Avenue Department Store, which has a strong festive flavor. After all, it will be New Year's Day in a few days.

The goods in the mall are dazzling, almost not much different from the later generations. Hardy and the two came to the Barbie doll counter and found that many parents took their children to choose inside.

have to say,

Barbie dolls are indeed very attractive, especially for little girls, it is difficult to resist Barbie dolls.

Most of the people who can walk into the Fifth Avenue department store are from wealthy families, so the sales of Barbie dolls here are very good, and many children will leave with a box of their favorite dolls and accessories.

Mr. Hardy, I know that Princess Ava is Miss Ava, but who is the Chinese princess? Taylor had long been curious about this question, and finally asked Hardy today.

Hardy smiled, A friend of mine, a Chinese girl, is also the general manager of my auction company.

She must be beautiful. Taylor asked, looking at the Chinese princess doll.

Haha, didn't you see it, it's almost like a doll. Hardy didn't hide it.

Taylor took another look at Princess Ava and Princess China, who she thought would be her rivals in the future.

The two left the Barbie store and went to the cosmetic area in front. Although Taylor was young, he already had all the hobbies of women and walked into the cosmetic area.

A woman in her thirties, with a few waiters, was selling their products to customers. When she saw Taylor walking in, the woman smiled and greeted her.

Hello girl, you are so beautiful. Are you interested in trying our Estee Lauder products? I can help you with makeup. The woman asked Taylor with a smile.

Okay. Taylor readily agreed.

Sitting in the chair, the woman helped Taylor make up and introduced their products, cleansing oils, creams, lotions, and all-in-one moisturizing serums. The woman said that these were all her researches, and that she herself was a chemist and a dermatologist. expert.
