Director, please respect yourself

The bedroom assigned to Yang Hao was decorated magnificently!

According to Liu Yifei, even the chandeliers in the bedroom are imported from Italy to make the decoration style look more elegant!

On the left side of the bedroom, against the wall, there is a marble dresser.

This marble dresser, like a kitchen island, can hold hundreds or thousands of cosmetics. Of course, Yang Hao is a man and cannot use so many cosmetics in a short while.

In the southeast corner of the bedroom, there is a wall made of floor-to-ceiling window glass. This allows the owner of the household to watch the entire Beverly Hills scenery while sleeping, giving him the feeling of dreaming about the starry sky at night.

Speaking of which, the Spanish beauty Elsa Pataky, the previous owner of this mansion, really enjoyed it.

Elsa Pataky…

Maybe some people are unfamiliar with this name, so well, she is the Spanish lover of the famous football star Beckham. When Beckham played for Real Madrid, he had an extramarital affair with her for two years.

It is said that this villa was bought by Beckham for Elsa Pataky. Last year, she fell into financial crisis. It happened that Liu Xiaoli, Liu Yifei and her daughter wanted to move into Beverly Hills. By chance, they took over this property.

Just like that, Yang Hao, who was lying on the bed in the bedroom, thinking about things, slowly fell into sleep.

…

Sleep quality is okay.

From ten o'clock in the morning, Yang Hao slept until five o'clock in the afternoon, until he felt a little hungry, then he sat up from the bed, opened the curtains, and looked at the sunset in the distance.

Downstairs, courtyard

Liu Xiaoli, Liu Yifei, Lin Jiu, Yao Beina, um, and the fat Yang Tianzhen were arranging tables, chairs, and barbecue pits. It seemed that they wanted to organize a barbecue dinner on this early spring evening.

Liu Yifei had a particularly good eye. When she looked up, she saw Yang Hao standing by the window on the third floor, so she jumped up and waved to him.

"Yang Hao..."

"Yang Hao, come down quickly. We have prepared the barbecue for you and are just waiting for you to come down and show off your skills."

Well…

Yang Hao was a little confused when he heard this!

It turns out you didn’t plan to let your brothers eat ready-made food? !

After washing up, getting dressed, and waiting for another five minutes, Yang Hao strolled into the yard.

Chef...

No matter what, you have to be a bit like a chef!

Liu Xiaoli's ex-husband Lin Jiu is a very famous lawyer in the United States. Like other colleagues, he is cautious in his words and deeds.

From the moment he saw him at 6:25 in the morning, it wasn't until 5:00 in the afternoon that Yang Hao opened his mouth and listened to his second sentence to him.

"Yang Hao, how is the manuscript of your second science fiction novel "The Obelisk Gate" completed?"

"Uncle Lin, the first draft has been completed and is currently being revised. I estimate that I will be able to complete the second draft before the filming of the movie "Gone Girl" starts.

By the time I leave the United States in mid-April, I will probably be able to finalize it. "

"So..., can I see the first draft?"

"No problem. After dinner, I will send the first draft to you via email."

Yang Hao does things with clear logic.

Even if he is chatting with others, it does not affect the work at hand. Just like now, he is marinating meat while talking about business with lawyer Lin Jiu.

Making barbecue...

Marinate the ingredients before grilling to make them taste more delicious.

"Yang Hao, Yao Haijun called me yesterday. The Science Fiction World magazine he works for is going to recommend your "The Fifth Season" and Da Liu to the Nebula Award, the Hugo Award, and the World Fantasy Award, the three major awards for science fiction literature in the world. "Three-Body".

I estimate that your two books have a very high chance of being nominated, but it’s hard to say whether they will win the award?

But it doesn't matter. You can be nominated repeatedly for the Science Fiction Literature Award. If your "Fifth Season" is nominated this year, as long as you don't win, your "Fifth Season" can also be nominated next year. "

"Thank you, Uncle Lin!"

Yang Hao said these words of thanks sincerely.

Because compared to the film and television industry, the literary world pays more attention to connections. If you don’t have any connections, no matter how good your literary works are, it will be difficult to get ahead.

It's like Lu Yao's "The Ordinary World", is it well written?

One word, good!

However, after the manuscript was written, it was frequently rejected by editors. If Mr. Li Jinyu had not been wise and discerning later, this masterpiece might have fallen into disuse.

"We are a family, what are we talking about?"

Smiling and patting Yang Hao on the shoulder, Lin Jiu turned around and wanted to leave, because at this time, Liu Xiaoli, holding an apron in her hand, was already waving to him from the kitchen.

Yang Hao knew at a glance that the division of labor today was absolutely clear!

He is responsible for grilling meat, while Lin Jiu is responsible for cooking.

However, at this time, Lin Jiu suddenly turned his head and lowered his voice:

"Yang Hao, as far as I know, the first batch of box office receipts for the movie "Megan" has been handed over to your Aunt Liu. After tax, it is almost 5.5 million US dollars.

You have to remember to ask her for it. "

Phew, haha...

Yang Hao wanted to laugh.

This middle-aged man is really very cute. I just don’t know why Liu Xiaoli divorced him in the first place? Is it just to bring Liu Yifei back to China for development?

Speaking of the box office split of the movie "Meghan", Yang Hao is still very happy, because this movie is different from "囧" in that it is basically his first attempt in Hollywood.

Investors understand that Wanda has newly acquired Legendary Pictures and Fei Ni Film Studio in Hollywood. Legendary Pictures invested 20 million yuan, accounting for 60% of the shares. Fei Ni Film Studio uses movie scripts and Yang Hao’s director services. It is an investment method, accounting for 40% of the shares; the publisher understands that it is still Wanda’s newly acquired Legendary Pictures in Hollywood.

At that time, the two parties agreed that the date for the first batch of accounts to be distributed was the 20th day after the movie was released. Now that I think about it, it seems that the date for the accounts has not arrived yet, right?

While Yang Hao, who was busy grilling meat, was wondering, Liu Yifei, who had already arranged tables, chairs and benches in the living room, quietly came over.

"Classmate Yang Shuo..."

"Um?"

"Did Uncle Lin tell you just now?"

"said!"

"What did Uncle Lin say?"

"He said that the payment for the movie "Meghan" has arrived, and asked me to ask your mother to ask for it, because your mother is the business representative of the film studio in the United States..."

"That's not what I'm talking about!"

But before Yang Hao finished speaking, Liu Yifei became a little anxious.

"What I want to say is that Uncle Lin is actually very good friends with Thomas Tull, the founder and CEO of Legendary Pictures. In 2000, when Thomas Tull wanted to establish Legendary Pictures, it was the private equity firm that Uncle Lin helped him contact. fund.

Well, also, when domestic real estate company Wanda wanted to acquire a film and television company in Hollywood, it was Uncle Lin who helped Thomas Tull pull the strings and let him sell the company at a high price of 3.5 billion US dollars. "

"Um..., so what?" Yang Hao asked.

“So, the private party scheduled for you and Thomas Tull this evening has been cancelled.

Then it became Thomas Tull visiting our house and bringing along other Hollywood movie actors from Gone Girl, so you had to bring your best cooking skills to entertain them.

Well, among them is Scarlett Johansson, a good friend I met in Hollywood..."

Well…

Looking at the roasted pork belly in his hand, Yang Hao was a little confused. It seemed a bit inappropriate to use this thing to entertain the widowed sister who would become famous in the future, right? !
