American Fortune Life

“What else can it be? Find an investment. ”

Charlize sat lazily on the sofa, waving up Erlang's legs, holding the coffee, red chun started gently, tasting it in small bites, with a smiley, non-laughing look on her beautiful face, she said faintly.

Andy looked at the script casually and frowned: "Looking for you to invest in? ”

Andy is no stranger to this Zone IX movie, and has seen it in previous generations, telling the story of an Earth man infected with some kind of mysterious virus, gradually becoming an alien, who had to flee to the only safe place, Zone IX, in order not to be the subject of research and subjected to inhuman experiments.

Not only did this‘ dirty 'sci-fi film in its previous life have a huge win in the box office as a black horse, but its new director officially made a headline in Hollywood because of the film.

But Andy couldn't figure out how this movie script was seen here in Charlize, and listened to Charlize's tone, as if he was looking for Charlize to invest in it.

“I've seen the script, and the idea of the story stems from this new director, Neil Blomkamp, who lived in apartheid in South Africa at an early age. He's a newcomer, but he's also done a lot of short films, like Aliens in Johannesburg.

Originally, Sony had invested in this Zone IX film, but in the lead-up to it, Sony withdrew its investment and the shooting plan was put on hold, as the film would be filmed in the slums of Africa, so Neil Blomkan usually sent the script to me by director Peter Jackson in the hope of receiving my support and investment.

I love this story, especially those aliens living squeezed in slums who metaphorically hold the lower classes, and those arrogant agents who metaphorically hold the upper classes, which encompass both racial discrimination and class contradictions. ”

“How much?” Andy closed the script and asked.

“$30 million. ”

“If you like, just vote... ”

Andy's words were not finished, and Charlize white-eyed him back, “Don't play dumb! ”

“Cough...” Andy coughed twice and didn't say anything, Charlize said to him, “I'm going to be the producer of this movie! ”

“It's okay to go to Africa with the crew.” Andy frowned and looked at Charlize, helplessly compromised, and then sat down next to Charlize, holding her with a smile: “These people today are so helpless. ”

Andy didn't refuse, and Charlize's frustration dissipated, and honestly, in Hollywood, her relationship with Andy Smith was simply a public secret, and although there was no evidence, everyone knew who Charlize's child's father was.

And this time, Andy was able to promise, which meant something to Charlize, knowing that she was using her hopes to get Andy's attention, and she was happy to accept that with Andy's growing wealth and power, Charlize was no longer content to be an invisible person, although she was an underground qing, but she didn't mind showing her presence in Hollywood!

Meanwhile, at the Vita Studio in Hollywood, Peter Jackson put a cup of coffee in front of Neil Blomcamp and patted each other on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, be patient. There will be good news. ”

“Peter, are you sure Charlize Theron will invest? Although the mapping of apartheid had some resonance with her, it was $30 million...” Neil Blomcamp still wonders why Peter Jackson would let him touch any luck there at the South African Diamond.

Peter Jackson, who was a little blissful and had a bearded face, shook his head and sat back in his boss's chair, and he knew that some of the messages that were circulating in the upper layers of Hollywood, just that the newcomer Neil Blomcamp wouldn't be clear, and he was silent, and he said: "The script was for Charlize Cylon, so long as it touched her, then don't worry about investing, you should also know that Charlize Cylon had a daughter last year, right? ”

After listening to this, Neil Blomcamp couldn't help but frown slightly. He naturally knew the news. At the time, it was still boiling. All the media were looking for Cylon's daughter's father. However, the news was soon suppressed, and then slowly there was no media coverage. But there were many rumors on the Internet and in private, and he couldn't tell the truth. Of course, the most likely of these rumors was that the child's father was the youngest super rich man, the new Hollywood giant crocodile, and he looked at Peter with some uncertainty and said, "Isn't it really him? ”

Peter Jackson took out the pipe light, took a sip, spit out the smoke, and said faintly: “Although there is no proof, this is a public secret in the upper circle of Hollywood. Everyone is in the dark. Just so you know, now South African diamonds are hot in Hollywood. I have a good relationship with Cylon, and I believe in your talent, and I believe in her gaze, and I'm sure he won't miss this script. Thirty million dollars is really a small sum for some people. ”

Neil Blomcamp, knowing this, shook his head and smiled with gratitude in Peter's eyes, "Thank you, Peter, I really don't know how to thank you... ”

“Well, don't say that, we're friends, and I believe in your own eyes, your talent is beyond doubt, and if, really, nobody votes, I invest in you at my own expense, and I'm sure your films will shock the global cinema.” Peter Jackson is really looking out for each other's talent.

Just as Neil Blomcamp couldn't get more moved, what to say, Peter Jackson's phone on the desk rang, Peter picked up the phone and looked at it and smiled at Neil, saying: “Cylon called, it seems to be working. ”

In Neil's slightly nervous, hopeful eyes, Peter picked up the phone, “Hello, Charlize... ”

“ Oh, okay, no problem, then it's settled, see you tomorrow, thank you, Charlize, haha, of course, I will definitely find you with the right character, and I look forward to working with you, OK, so, see you tomorrow, bye. ”

Peter Jackson smiled brightly as he said, expecting Neil to make an OK gesture, watching Neil soothe, Peter laughed and continued to chill with Charlize.

Hanging up the phone, Peter Jackson smiled and shook Neil's hand, sincerely congratulating him: "Congratulations, Neil, you can finally show your talent. ”

“No, Peter, it's all your fault, thank you, I'll never forget the help you gave me, ever!” Neil shook Peter's hand tightly and said with some excitement.

“Well, we should have a drink and celebrate...” Peter unwrapped his hand and stood up smiling, walking to the wine cabinet to pick up a bottle of whiskey, reaching two glasses and passing it to Neil, who was still unable to calm down.

“Ding!”

When they touched the glass and drank it all, Neil couldn't wait to ask: “What exactly is going on? ”

“The Focus Film Industry under Universal Film has decided to invest and is scheduled to meet tomorrow at noon to discuss cooperation, with Charlize and Carl, CEO of Focus Film, present. ”

“The vampire Carl?” Neil's eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle, and Carl's fame in the Hollywood industry can now really be regarded as thrilling, not only because he's the new Hollywood gatekeeper, but also because of the blaze of "The Ghost Record," which took him to the next level to become a fraudulent vampire.

Indeed, without Carl's discovery and excavation, Ghost Pictures would not have walked into the cinema. However, with the film's fire, sweeping the $200 million worldwide box office cost ratio, it was also reported that he had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars buying all the copyrights in the film, and it was conceivable that various envious forces were absolutely all sorts of curses against Carl.

It also gave Carl the label of a greedy vampire in the hearts of many people in Hollywood, especially when dealing with Andy Smith and major movie companies before, and his reputation for arrogance, cunning, and greed was intentionally spread.

So, when he heard Carl's name, Neil reacted so loudly, to be honest, he was really worried about being put to death by this vampire.
