American Fortune Life

The next day, Peter Jackson and the moody Neil Blomkamp appeared in an agreed-upon restaurant in Hollywood.

No matter how bad Carl's reputation is, for Neil now, this is an opportunity that he can't refuse. Compared with the silent and moneyless filming, what is the advantage of being squeezed by a vampire?

"They're here."

Neal, thinking about something, suddenly heard Peter speak, looking in the direction that Peter had indicated, just to see a middle-aged white man in a suit and a little fat body standing beside a Maybach with a smile on his face.

While opening the door of the Maybach, she walked down to a blond woman wearing a small black suit with black tight-fitting narrow pants and stepping on high heels.

Charlize Theron, South African diamond.

To be honest, Neil was the first real person to see Charlize Theron, watching Charlize and the middle-aged white man with a hint of flattery on his face and joking into the restaurant, followed by bodyguards and everyone Looking sideways, it is indeed the "Venus of Hollywood", a goddess who perfectly blends beauty and mystery.

Charlize Theron is really eye-catching. Blond hair, with the coolest features and the big-name demeanor wherever you go, plus her big man, it is really difficult for her to drown in the crowd.

"Hello, Peter."

"Hi Charlize, you are so pretty today."

"Thank you."

Charlize smiled brightly and greeted Peter Jackson with a familiar hug.

"Hi Carl, you're thin again."

"Haha, Peter, you're fat again."

"Well, you still really hate it."

"Haha ..."

Neil flashed across Peter's face, watching Peter, the vampire Carl hugging and familiar.

"Let me introduce you, this is Neil Bromkamp, ​​a very talented director who has shot many short films before ..."

"Hello, my name is Charlize Theron, and I'm glad to meet you." Charlize reached out with a smile and shook Neil.

"Hello, my name is Neil Bromkamp, ​​and I'm happy to meet you. I'm your fan."

"Thank you." Charlize heard too much of this kind of fandom, especially when she met a farm animal fan and enlarged her belly. The immunity to this kind of words was not ordinary.

"Hello, Mr. Carl, this is Neil Bromkamp."

"Hello." Carr just shook hands with Neil, without even a lot of expression on his face, making Neil a little embarrassed with a smile on his face.

"Let's sit down and talk." Charlize also knew a little about the nature of Carl's goods and his difficult reputation abroad, but that was external, and for her, Carl smiled and greeted him from the beginning to the end.

After the conversation and lunch time, neither Charlize nor Carl mentioned the investment in the "Ninth District". Peter also seemed to forget, and did not mention it. Neil Bromkan was very anxious. , But still depressed the anxiety inside. Especially after seeing Peter's hinted eyes, he slowly relaxed and joined in enjoying food and chatting.

Charlize Theron in real life is much easier to get closer than on the screen and in photos. The halo behind Oscar's shadow did not let her wear a proud, unattainable old drama bone mask. "Goddess" is as **** and confident as reflected in raising her hands and smiling, especially her warm smile in the afternoon of Poyang is impressive, not aggressive, not playing big names, how can Neil Bromkan I never imagined that the "goddess" would be so kind, considerate, and comfortable.

When the lunch was nearing, all kinds of funny jokes were being told, and every time, he was obviously courting Charlize Theron, Carl wiped his mouth with a napkin, the smile on his face converged, and his expression suddenly rushed to Neil: "I have read the script, it is very good, it is in line with our" Universal Pictures "to explore the future, criticize evil, praise love, praise the style of heroes, 30 million of our focus film industry voted, copyright and final editing rights belong to the focus company ,is that OK?"

Neal Bromkan froze slightly, heard Carl's question, frowned slightly, and just wanted to say something, he was kicked twice by Peter Jackson at the bottom of the table, then sighed in his heart, slightly Nodded.

Carl was very upset about Neil Bromkan's hesitation and some reluctant expression on his face. The corners of his mouth were raised, his face sneered, and his eyes flashed sharply at Neal. "You seem a little reluctant? It doesn't matter, I am not reluctant. "

"How reluctant, don't get me wrong, I have no opinion," Neil Blomkan responded with a smile on his face.

"Really? Are you sure?" Carl smiled, didn't wait for the other party to answer, and said directly: "I know the importance of the final editing right for each director, but you are not Peter, just a new director, so, want Power and respect, then come up with all your abilities, make this movie and become a great director. No one will ask you this at that time. Now, you can only do it according to Hollywood rules! "

Neil Bromkan's face changed slightly after hearing Carl's words so plainly, but soon he was relieved and nodded bitterly, while Charlize and Peter on the side seemed to have heard nothing. Talk about something.

"The company will pay your screenwriter and director salaries. There is no box office share, is that okay?"

"No."

"I, Charlize will be the producer of this film ..." Carl said, turning his eyes to Peter Jackson, and continued with a smile. "Peter, since you are a promising newcomer, how about you, how about you as a producer?"

"Oh, is there a box office split?" Peter Jackson laughed.

"Of course, but it wo n’t be too much, it ’s more people, or else, how about giving you $ 1 million in salary directly?"

"Oh, so generous?"

"Don't joke, how about you, Peter Jackson?"

Peter Jackson looked at Neil with a smile, and finally nodded and said, "Well, I don't have any new project anyway, so be a producer, but I don't want pay, I want box office share, I believe the future of this movie will Not bad! "

Carl raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled without hesitation: "Oh, that's the case."

Then he turned to Neil, "If there are no more questions, you can sign up with the focus company in the afternoon."

"Well, now that the cooperation has been reached, we should have a drink to celebrate, Zou Tafu!"

"Ding"

"Zou Tafu!" ...

At about 3:30 in the afternoon, Carl drove to the Little Palace of Versailles, took the folder, got out of the car, stepped briskly on the granite steps, and greeted the housekeeper who smiled at him.

"Good afternoon, how about Mr. Smith?"

"Mr. exercise in the gym. Mr. Ms. ordered before, let you go directly. Please here."

"Thank you. May I trouble you?" Carl nodded with a smile, followed the housekeeper, walked through the hall corridor, and walked to the gym.

Walking into the gym, Carl saw Ivana, who was doing yoga for pregnant women under the guidance of a fitness instructor and doctor, and smiled and greeted her with a smile on her face: "Good afternoon, Ivana."

"call"

"Good afternoon, Andy's in there ..." Ivana saw it, and waited until he breathed out, and smiled and greeted him.

"Okay, then I won't bother you." Carl nodded with a smile, and to be honest, he was really a little sloppy and dealt with Ivana. After he said hello, he went inside and could hear clearly. 'Bang-bang' sound of punching punching bag.

"咻咻 咻咻"

"Bang bang bang!"

Wearing only a pair of sports shorts, Andy with a white bandage in his fists punched a punch on the sandbag. The streamlined muscular body was full of sweat. Under the light, he was more fit, like a marble sculpture shining with gloss. .

Carl didn't speak, interrupted Andy's rhythm, stood quietly and waited, knowing that Andy slammed the sandbag into a ninety degree with a punch, drew to the side, stopped, and only picked it up from the rest chair The towel stepped forward and handed it to Andy.

"Here, how is it going?" Andy took the towel, wiped the sweat off his face, and asked casually.

"Very well, Peter Jackson agreed to be a producer, and Neil eventually signed a five-play contract with us. I promised him that if this" Ninth District "could hit the box office at 100 million yuan, he would start with the second one. He finally agreed to the editing rights. "

"call"

Taking a big sip of Andy with a sports drink, tossing the bottle to the ground, holding a towel while rubbing his neck and sweat, and laughing: "Take advantage of the producers of Charlize and Peter Jackson as the producer, Good publicity, let him shoot quickly, it is best to be released years ago, this year I want to make Universal Studios the top box office. "

"Then shoot some low-cost horror movies and comedy films, anyway, those girls of the new forces also need to hone their acting skills, show their popularity and gain popularity, as long as one of the five is sold, they will earn "Carl rolled his eyes and suggested with a smile.

Andy rolled his eyes in a bad mood. Although it was a bad idea, it was not infeasible. Don't think that Hollywood has no bad movies. You must know that the current US film production is about 700 to 800 a year, and the top movies are 50. By about 100, other movies are either left unattended or rotten to the sky!

It's just that those huge number of bad movies can't be seen when Americans talk about it, and the news will not spread to other countries.

"Not bad, but Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence are excluded. Let Alexandra Daddario and Kate Dalins take the lead. After all, the two are 'fierce'! Do n’t say anything else, the two The "fierce" phase is worth the fare! You know, when the economy is in recession, people prefer ... "Andy's eyes flashed, thinking of something, raising an eyebrow in front of himself and making a" big "gesture, lowering his voice Teased.
