Chapter 146 Returning to Hollywood

Although Mourinho is still under suspension, Boas's suspension period has ended, so Edward does not need to worry about anything. Now there is one thing he needs to do urgently, which is to find a distributor for the movie.

It just so happened that Pete's role is over now, and he volunteered to go to the United States with Edward. Of course, Edward will not go by himself, and there will be professionals following him. , he went just as a finalist.

Jennifer Aniston finally forgave Edward. At this time, she was not at all assured that Edward would go to the United States, but her son was still young and couldn't do without her. He planned to let a girl go with Edward. Considering Winona Rhett was almost responsive to Edward, so Caroline was arranged by her to go to the United States with Edward.

Edward felt it was funny. Caroline usually seemed very persistent, but she was actually easy to deal with. He also knew why Jennifer Aniston had such a big reaction. What happened to Julia Roberts made her A sense of crisis, she is usually laissez-faire with Edward, but that is her deadly enemy. Jennifer Aniston doesn't want to see that damned woman wandering around at home every day, but fortunately, she doesn't seem to have dropped her career and thrown herself into Edward's arms the meaning of.

Julia Roberts is still a very career-minded woman. If she makes another scandal, her film career will be completely destroyed, but Jennifer Aniston has another worry that she didn't tell Edward.

----------

The flight time to the United States is not short, so Edward chose to wear an eye mask to rest when he boarded the plane.

Pete, who was planning to chat with him, didn't ask for boredom.

After arriving, Edward quickly met Warner's top management under Pete's recommendation, and left the rest of the matter to his team to discuss.He is only responsible for signing at the last moment, almost dispensable.

Warner has a problem with them now, mainly because they are stuck on the share. As a publisher, it is impossible for Warner to work for Edward Bai. They are not open to charity. Although this big investment is all shot in Europe, such a strong lineup , it’s hard not to attract their attention, plus Hollywood’s intricate relationship, so the eight major film companies in Hollywood have got some news, judging from the news, the quality of this movie is still very high, the only problem is North American Whether the audience will buy it or not, after all, North America is now the world's largest ticket warehouse.

Another point is that Edward is now looking for a publisher after the filming is almost finished. Edward is passive in this matter, especially because he did not bring others to play, it is completely a personal investment, let alone Warner now, he is looking for someone else The publisher and the other party will also find a way to bite off a piece of meat from him.

This matter was indeed Edward's negligence. He didn't know these things when he was making a movie for the first time. When Nolan started taking the film, he thought he had already found a distributor. It was only later that he found out that this rich third generation hadn't found a good distributor. Nolan also admired him very much when he started making movies. This is an investment of hundreds of millions. Isn't Edward afraid that no one will release it in the end?
Of course, that is only the most extreme possibility. It is impossible for this movie to be taken over by no one else. The only question now is who can give them better conditions.Edward knows a well-known mission, that is Harvey Weinstein, a Hollywood tycoon. It is said that this guy is very capable, but Edward hates what he does. It is absolutely impossible to ask him to cooperate, even if the other party runs the Oscar Time is very capable.

Even though the quality of the film is high, Edward has never expected an Oscar. Football is not popular in the United States, and it is even more impossible for those old-timers in the academy to give a football film any important awards. The possibility is gone. If it is not for the Oscar, who would want to deal with that disgusting guy Harvey Weinstein.

Originally, Edward thought that the negotiation process would be easy, and if one company failed, he would switch to another company, but he did not expect his team to tell him and Warner that an agreement might be reached, so the two sides are still negotiating.

In the middle of the week, Edward specially watched the team's UEFA Cup game. He put in a lot of effort to figure out the time difference. The United States does not use the same time.

Union Berlin's opponent in this round of the UEFA Cup is the French team Rennes, and Edward has now figured out that the current UEFA Cup is not played in groups, but fights against each other, and the next round will be played in two rounds until the championship.He has never paid much attention to the UEFA Cup. If the home team did not play this kind of game, who would stay up late to watch the first level of the UEFA Champions League? In his previous life, he did not have a home team and only liked the Netherlands and Germany, so naturally he would not watch the UEFA Cup.

This time, Union Berlin will play host first and away from home. This is a very favorable schedule, but Union Berlin does not need much luck to play against a team like Rennes, it just needs to play normally.

Through the TV, Edward can feel the fanatical atmosphere of the San Severn Stadium.It's still the same banner as before, and it's still the famous sentence "I come, I see, I conquer"

This sentence has now become the official declaration of the Berlin Union. Like Julius Caesar, the Berlin Union appeared in the European Olympic Games as a conqueror.

After the start of the game, Union Berlin's strong offensive ability was once again displayed in the European arena. Rennes had already been scored before he realized what was going on.

Ronaldinho, who was temporarily replaced last weekend, recovered his form. In just one minute of the opening, he helped Union Berlin take the lead.After the rest, Harvey Alonso once again found Ronaldinho with a precise pass. This time Ronaldinho directly hit Rennes' defense from the middle. He changed direction several times in a row and entered the opponent's penalty area , rewritten the score with a powerful shot, 1:1.

This method is exactly what Ronaldinho was good at in his previous life, but when he shot so well, it was already a year or two after he arrived in Real Madrid, but a genius is a genius after all, and his shooting potential has always been full of stars.

Edward watched the live broadcast of Sky TV today. The American narrator obviously didn’t expect it. The player once again became the cupping device of Union Berlin, and once again he stood up to help Union Berlin open the scoring, and now we have a statistic, that is, in the games where he scored first, Union Berlin won all of them."

Edward didn't know about it either. After all, he was watching the matches on the spot, so naturally he wouldn't know about these weird statistics, but he was still very happy to hear that Ronaldinho is indeed the lucky star of Union Berlin.

By the way, although it is an American TV station, it uses Spanish. The name of the American football desert is not fake. There are not many white people in the United States who care about football. The people who watch football are immigrants, especially Mexican and Spanish immigrants. The Spanish group, so the live broadcast is naturally in Spanish, which is not difficult for Edward at all.

The commentary on Sky TV was still praising Ronaldinho endlessly, and even some prehistoric superstars were pulled out to compare with Ronaldinho. Only then did Edward realize that no matter where he was, the commentators liked to make a fuss.

Not to mention before, it will be difficult to have a player like Ronaldinho in the future. His comprehensiveness is unprecedented among all players. Even Rijkaard, who is known for his comprehensiveness, is not as strong as Ronaldinho.

Rennes was also completely stunned. Although they knew their opponents were strong, they did not expect to concede the ball at the beginning. Now they are very passive, but even so they chose to strengthen their defense. After all, the away game is considered a small loss. There is no problem, as long as it can be found at home.

Their defense did bring some trouble to Union Berlin, but the trouble only lasted 10 minutes.

This time, it was Sneijder who was overshadowed by his partner's light in the last round. Sneijder's long-range shooting ability near the arc top of the penalty area became stronger and stronger. On the contrary, he showed himself enthusiastically. He was 28 meters away from the goal. The long-range shot hit the opponent's calf and bounced into the net.

A little more than 10 minutes, two goals, but the situation of the first opponent in the UEFA Cup was similar.

Although Union Berlin fans are used to this scene, they are still very excited. They hope to follow the team step by step and continue to win the UEFA Cup.

They sang loudly in the stands "Oooooooooooo..."

Amidst their cheering, the players also showed 200% of their spirits. Compared with the Bundesliga, they prefer European arenas, so that they can show their faces throughout European football.

These young kids are at the time when they love to perform. When they come to the European competition, they can show a crazier attitude than they can in the Bundesliga, as if they want to swallow their opponents with a stormy attack.

Soon Robben also scored, and it was still his signature inside cut. His deadly inside cut is now the strongest offensive method in football. The latest issue of "Kicker" even predicted that Robben would be Union Berlin. The second player in the team to become a world-class rated player. The first is Nesta. Became the first Union Berlin player to be voted world-class.

This incident happened after Edward left, but because of the tight schedule recently, Union Berlin did not find a chance to celebrate.Although this situation may be normal for other giants, this is the first time in the history of Union Berlin that even the certificates have been copied by Union Berlin and stored in the honor room of the team. Now the honor room of Union Berlin There is still plenty of space, as long as there are a few regional champions in the East Germany period, and last season's Bundesliga championship trophy and German Cup championship trophy, but Edward believes that their honor room will definitely be filled in time.

Before the end of the first half, Ronaldinho scored twice. This time, Sneijder gave Berlin Union a free kick after being brought down by the opponent in the middle. The penalty hit Ronaldinho's current goal. The free kick obviously has the embryonic form of the later Tomahawk shot. The opponent's goalkeeper was completely deceived by him, and the strange downward arc of the ball made him completely wrong in his judgment.

Edward thought that was all there was to it. Unexpectedly, near the end of the first half, Materazzi scored another goal through a corner kick. Xavi Alonso's cross was so accurate that Materazzi almost The ball was sent into the opponent's goal without much effort, 5:0.

It only took half a game for Union Berlin to let the two rounds lose suspense. When entering the intermission, the TV commentary has been praising Union Berlin with his barren words of praise.

I heard the same few words, Dream Team, Invincible Battleship, Edward suddenly missed the commentary in China very much. In the previous life, even Mr. Sharp's commentary was very interesting, at least the vocabulary was richer.

In the second half, Mourinho replaced Ronaldinho and Arjen Robben. He was ready to call in the money, and he had completed the task ahead of schedule, just turning his attention to the next round of the Bundesliga. But even so, the game ended It was still fixed at 7:0 at the time, and the horror of Union Berlin in the European arena has reached a frightening level.

The Dutch team and the French team fell under their feet one after another. Although they only played the first round, they did not believe that Rennes had a chance to come back.

After watching the game, it was already 9 o'clock in the morning in the United States, and California was [-] hours ahead of the local time in Germany, but Edward didn't feel sleepy at all.Seeing that Caroline was sleeping soundly, he had no choice but to leave quietly and chose to go to the hotel bar for a drink.

Although he doesn't like to drink and can't drink, he has nothing to do at this time.

However, there were no other guests in the hotel bar, which made Edward feel very boring, so he chose to leave the hotel. California is still very lively and has a rich nightlife. He just watched a passionate game, and he really needed to calm down before falling asleep.

But after all, he was in a foreign country. Even if he informed the bodyguards to follow him, Edward did not dare to walk around. He chose a main road and walked straight, and then entered the first bar he saw, but the chaotic environment inside made him feel very uncomfortable. Edward left immediately, and in just a few minutes he noticed that the guests inside seemed to be on drugs. This kind of place is too messy, and he doesn't like it at all. This is America, haha.

Edward didn't want to find another place to drink. He was afraid of danger, so he wanted to turn back to the hotel. When he passed by Burger King, he felt a little hungry, so he went in. Usually he rarely eats junk food, but suddenly he was a little hungry.

Edward went to the front to order, and quickly found a place to sit down, but soon someone came in and caught his attention. It looked like a pretty girl, but the other person didn't seem to bring cash.

Edward walked over and took the initiative to put down a $10 card, without saying a word the whole time, this kind of thing is just a matter of effort for him, and he is always willing to help when facing beautiful girls.

"Thank you."

The girl carrying the plate quickly walked up to Edward to thank him.

"You're welcome, it's just a matter of little effort." Edward swallowed the food first, wiped his hands and mouth carefully before speaking, even if he was eating fast food, he would always pay attention to table manners, which was a habit he had developed since childhood.

"Excuse me, are you a nobleman?" the girl asked curiously.

Edward was a little curious: "Why do you say that?"

While his table manners are good, he never trusts anyone to be judged on that alone.

"It's like this. I've seen some aristocratic films, and I feel that you look like those in the movies." Edward shrugged and said, "You think too much, there are no such damn nobles now."

"But your accent is a standard aristocratic accent." The girl put down the plate and sat down opposite Edward, took off her sunglasses, and surprised Edward.

How could it be her? !

She knew this girl, and she liked it very much in her previous life!
The widow, Scarlett Johansson, is still a young Scarlett, and she is about 20 years old now.

"It's impolite to stare at others all the time." Although Scarlett said this, she didn't mean to be angry at all. He thought Edward was very interesting. The key point was that he was also very handsome. Handsome men also get preferential treatment in front of women. .

"I'm sorry, I just thought you were beautiful."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"No, no, this is my sincere words, I really like watching you in "Lost in Translation", Miss Scarlett, your acting skills in the movie are great." Edward said in the most sincere tone, but he It's not Scarlett's fans, but Scarlett's fans. Anyway, they are all fans, and there is not much difference.

Scarlett, delighted to be recognized by a hunk fan, asked: "You haven't introduced yourself yet."

"Edward, my name is Edward Hoffmann, a German."

Scarlett obviously also knew about some nobles in Europe: "Then please tell me, are you a Junker nobleman?"

"Of course not, it's just that my grandpa likes aristocratic things very much, and my grandma is the daughter of an aristocrat, so the education I received since childhood was aristocratic education." Edward explained that there is nothing to hide about this kind of thing. Edward doesn't mind revealing some simple personal information without threats.

"Then your family must be very rich." Scarlett said firmly. After all, noble education includes many items, and ordinary people cannot afford huge training fees.

"I don't deny it." Edward said with a smile.

Scarlett Johansson felt dizzy for a while. This man who looked like an aristocrat smiled very charmingly. Although Edward was only 3 years older than her, he had a very mature temperament because he often communicated with some successful people and team executives. , coupled with a slightly immature and clean face, made Scarlett feel very comfortable.

Due to family reasons, this girl has been interested in men older than her since she was a child.In her previous life, her boyfriends were much older, but Edward's temperament made him look more mature, and Edward's appearance was also quite good, who wouldn't like a handsome guy?

"What are you doing in the United States? Are you planning to come to play? The sun in California is abundant, are you planning to go to Santa Monica Beach?" Scarlett asked several questions in succession.

Edward shook his head and said, "No, I made a movie and am looking for someone to help distribute it. Now my agent is negotiating with Warner."

"Warner, that's a big company. How much do you invest in the movie?" Movies are Scarlett's field. She thinks it's very interesting to meet someone who makes movies when she comes out temporarily, but she thinks that Edward still exaggerates this. One thing, after all, men always like to brag in front of beautiful women.

"$2 million? Or more, it's not over yet."

"God, are you lying?!"

Scarlett exclaimed, this number is even close to that big ship, but she has never heard of such a big production in Hollywood during this period.

"it is true."

Edward wiped his hands again, and called Xiao Lizi directly.

"Hey, Eddie, aren't you guys in California, don't you need to sleep now?" Xiao Lizi's voice was very impatient. He was out of luck these two days, seeing Heidi Klum being caught by his girlfriend, Now my girlfriend looks at me to death.

"Leo, you guy, don't be so angry. I am indeed in California, but I met a beautiful woman who seems to have doubts about my identity." Edward briefly explained the situation.

Xiao Lizi asked: "Eddie, dear Eddie, do you think I will help you prove your identity and help you pick up girls, then you are so naive!"

"Asshole, you have to be more serious."

"never!"

As soon as Xiao Lizi's voice fell, Scarlett had already recognized it: "You are Leonardo DiCaprio! I know, you are a rich man from Germany, a fool who is ridiculed by Hollywood."

"Hahaha, he is indeed a fool, but I'm not Leonardo." Xiao Li quickly hung up the phone after saying these words, he didn't want to see Edward at ease when he was suffering, that would be too unfair.

Scarlett Johansson finally knows who's sitting across from her, and it's the one who hired Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Anistos and Leonardo DiCaprio The rich man of the movie.

The guy is also said to have poached Pitt, and Aniston bore him a baby.

"I'm really a layman." Edward said proactively.

"I'm sorry." Scarlett stuck out her tongue and apologized, saying to her face that she was really not very nice.

"It doesn't matter. From Hollywood's point of view, it's really a fool for me to invest in a movie without thinking about returns, but I didn't make movies to make money."

"Then why are you, for your dream?"

"No, no, no," Edward shook his hand to indicate that she was wrong: "I want to let my grandfather's name be remembered by the world. He was originally a hero. After the movie is released, he will be a hero known to the world. .”

The strong confidence in Edward's eyes made Scarlet feel dazzled for a while, and her face felt a little hot.
