Producer [American Entertainment]
Chapter 122 Day 122 on Earth: Executive Producer.
Throughout the second half of 1983, William didn't really just stay with his Aunt Liz, but didn't care about any movie matters at all.
It's just that William added executive before the name of his producer (producer) position.
Commonly known as producer, or executive producer.
Simply put, part of MGM's old Samuel's post....Old Samuel’s name will appear on many movies, but he almost never directly participates in the production of the movie. He just represents the investors and the company’s top management, and decides whether the movie can be approved at the beginning, as well as investment and funding. affairs.
William has always felt that Columbia Pictures failed to make decisions on several important films (such as ET and Back to the Future) because they hired an executive producer who was not so suitable for the position.
And William's Golden Finger 2B250, in fact, can really shine in the aspect of executive producer's work.
On the third day after William arrived in Italy, Sabatino proposed to William an invitation to transfer his position. In his words: "Anyway, idle is idle. The executive producer is not busy, just playing Make a phone call, listen to someone else give you a project approval report, and then you can decide whether to successfully approve the project or call back to redo it.”
As for other things, there was old Samuel.
In fact, William has already worked with Samuel Sr. as part of the executive producer work, such as in the movie "007: Octopus Girl".
Old Samuel's work includes the executive producer, yes, but it is not limited to the executive producer. He is the director of the entire film department of MGM, and he is in charge of several executive producers. .It's as if he is the boss of a brokerage company, and he himself also works part-time as a broker for the company's elder brother and sister, but generally speaking, his job is to manage other brokers and the operation of the entire company.
The reason why William was able to bypass the other executive producers and go to the old Samuel's office to find old Samuel for support was really only because William had a cousin named Sabatino.le senbra.
Old Samuel has already passed the statutory retirement age, but due to various reasons, he has been holding on in the position of director of the film department, playing his spare time.
But in fact, old Samuel knew in his heart that sooner or later he would retire.
At first, the old Samuel thought that the opportunity for his retirement should be the acquisition of MGM by Sabatino six years ago, and the appointment of the new acting CEO Hugo. It would take MGM's most important film division.Unexpectedly, until Hugo's acting CEO became the real CEO, he didn't do that.
Not only did Samuel Sr. continue to sit in his seat, but it was further strengthened by William's successive successful films.
Later, the old Samuel felt that the opportunity for his retirement should be the acquisition of United Artists by the parent company Microsoft.If MGM and United Artists are going to merge, if the film department is merged into one, someone will definitely take the place of second-in-command. Compared with being a second-in-command, retiring will of course save everyone's mutual face.In the end, the sky still failed to meet people's wishes (this word seems to be used incorrectly, the literal understanding is good [hey), old Samuel thought too much again, although the company acquired Lianmei, Lianmei moved out directly and went to New York on the East Coast started afresh.
"What do you think Mr. Lesenbra is thinking?" Old Samuel was puzzled.
Old Samuel of course wanted to continue in this position, which had nothing to do with the high salary the company offered him.He had already been transferred to MGM's "partner" and received dividends from the company's shares. Even if he retired, he would still have a considerable income every year.For old Samuel, the more important issue is the issue of rights and status.
Yes, it's that vulgar, power and status.
The top management of MGM may not be a big deal in the past few years, but they are no longer what they used to be.Although it is still not as good as MGM in the golden age, at least it is no longer the situation where anyone can step on it when the sun is waning.Although the old Samuel always scolded his sons for not living up to expectations, he still had to think about their future.
The silver-haired secretary and special assistant Greta, who is still struggling in her job like old Samuel, said with a poisonous tongue: "Maybe it's just that Mr. Lesenbra forgot about you."
"..." Old Samuel touched his stomach, it hurt a little. What the hell was he thinking when he hired Greta more than 30 years ago?Make yourself guilty?
Greta looked back sincerely, because I was pretty when I was young.
"Well, I was skeptical too, but believe me, I checked with Hugo, and I haven't been forgotten."
Greta shrugged, and she looked like a thin old lady with exceptional spirit: "Did you really ask? I was just joking. Obviously, Mr. Lesenbra arranged for you before the young master can be alone. As a shield."
"Master?"
"The one who went to Italy recently."
william.Theros!Old Samuel was so enlightened. It's not that he really couldn't think of this, but from the very beginning, he regarded William as the successor of his successor.After all, at William's age, even as the successor of the successor, William seemed a bit too young for the film company executives, who were very particular about seniority.
"The young master is 22 this year, and he is almost 24, five, and thirty, so he is not considered young, right?"
"== You can really approximate it." Why don't you say that he is going to be a hundred soon? !
"The point is not how old I approximated Mr. Serus, but at what age was Mr. Lesenbra when he became the founder of Microsoft. Mr. Lesenbra can wait for almost five years before he arranges for the young master to become the master. The film department, in my opinion, is not easy, even shocking. Wendy, who is next to Mr. Serus, has almost been trained, and she is obviously a special assistant, but in fact, it is obvious that she handles chores." It's like these "chores" that old Samuel is doing now.
In order to save face for old Samuel, Greta didn't say the last sentence.
"Then should I wink?" It's like voluntarily applying for retirement or something in exchange for his son's promotion in MGM.The major film companies have always had the unspoken rule that "relatives cannot be senior officials in the same department". Only when old Samuel retired, his son could make a comeback.
"Don't worry, it will take another one or two years. When Mr. Serus and Wendy have established a firm foothold and gained a foothold, you can leave. I can retire too, my retirement villa in Florida Bought it for years. When Mr. Lesenbra transferred William back to Los Angeles, that's when you can file for retirement."
"...I didn't really ask you, but I was polite." In terms of unspoken rules in the workplace, old Samuel thought he was playing around with Biggerita, or Greta would not be his secretary now.
"I know." Greta glanced sideways at old Samir, and answered in a very straightforward manner.
In the second half of 1983, William officially started to perform the work of producer. The initial part was naturally his best-selecting scripts and projects, directing remotely through telephone and computer.Due to the time difference, William took care of his aunt Elizabeth just in time.
After pregnancy, Elizabeth was almost the same as usual. She didn’t vomit, didn’t feel emotional, and the only difference was probably that she started to sleep in late. bed unit.
This just gave William time to deal with work.
After exercising in the morning, William will start looking at the computer and deal with the work of the day.It happened to be a weekday afternoon in Los Angeles at that time, and nothing was delayed.
The two films that William finally selected for the project were "Spiritual Discovery" and "Modern Mermaid".
"Modern Mermaid" had already started filming at the end of October 83, and the producer was Brian, who was the producer for the first time.Glazer, the other party has been working as a director before, this is his transformation.William recommended his friend Tom.Hanks plays the leading role.
According to the report given by Brian, The Mermaid should be able to catch up with the release in May next year.As a warm-up for the summer vacation, when college students are already on vacation.
William is very optimistic about the script of The Mermaid, and has decided to apply for the best screenplay for the 1985 Oscars and Golden Globe Awards. Even if it is only nominated, it will bring a lot of sales of video tapes and VCDs to the film.
"A Wonderful Detective" was just approved at the end of the year.
Because on the issue of the actor's personality, William and MGM's top management have a big difference.The actor in the original script was a black police detective. William didn't think there was any problem with a black actor playing the leading role alone, but in the eyes of MGM executives, they felt that this was simply contrary to common sense.
It may be said that the movie discriminates. Generally, Hollywood movies like to cast some people of color as supporting roles. It seems that everyone jokes that three or four white people must have a black friend.
But outright black starring roles?
For box office audiences who are still dominated by white groups, it is really unpredictable whether they can accept it.
In fact, "Traveling Out" has been in MGM's script library for two years, and the reason why it hasn't started filming is because of the personality of the leading actor.The writers wouldn't back down, and no producer was willing to take the risk.
After screening the latest scripts and finding nothing interesting except "Modern Mermaid", William looked forward to the scripts of previous years, and only then found "The Wonderful Discovery".William thinks it has great potential. In fact, if William finds out a while later, the screenwriter will have to cast Paramount for the second time. William doesn't want to be the second in Columbia.
In the absence of a producer, Wendy came to the stage for the first time, and she was willing to take this risk with William for the first time in her career.
The black actor was recommended by Sabatino, Eddie.Murphy, the other party, has been a resident actor on the popular variety show "Saturday Night Live" since 1980, and has established a unique funny style of street gangsters.William is also a loyal viewer of "Saturday Night Live".
It wasn't until the end of 83 that William, who could only remotely control through the phone, finally got the two movies completely done and let him start shooting.
William also finally understood Samuel's embarrassment back then. In many cases, it was not old Samuel who was stingy, or procrastinating and unwilling to do things, but old Samuel who was really powerless.The birth of a movie requires the struggle of many parties.William's cousin is called Sabatino.Lexenbra, it's all so difficult, one can imagine what will happen to others.
While arguing with the MGM executives, William took the opportunity to work on United Artists' side and won a chance for Robert, the screenwriter of Back to the Future, to be truly directed by him.
The movie is called "Emerald", and it is an adventure action movie brought up after the craze of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
It is said that [-]th Century Fox was working on this project at the beginning, but it was not known which intermediate link had a problem, and it has been delayed until now, so it approached United Artists to seek cooperation.
Therefore, William recommended Robert as a matter of course. Sometimes it is not that William wants to be nepotism, but that he can only trust people he knows.
As soon as the second and third parts of Back to the Future hit the board, Robert will immediately go to the Emerald crew.
As for MiG, according to himself, he already had a new idea, wrote and directed it himself, and by the way, he became his own producer.But he will go to help Wendy first, and his own film is not in a hurry to start shooting, because he wants to catch up with the release of the Oscars in 85 a month or two ago.The meaning is very obvious. Miguel is also preparing to turn from a profitable blockbuster to an award-winning literary film, and he has a lot of ambitions. He has set his sights on the Oscars from the very beginning.
The author has something to say: *Executive producer and the executive producer or supervisor in the Chinese translation are actually not the same in nature, there are places where rights overlap, and there are places where they don’t overlap _(:з」∠)_ but I can’t find a more suitable one Translated, in the information book I bought, the two titles are mixed together, so...
Chapter 123 The 120th day after coming to Earth: Luciferd Edward-Marie Lesembla, the child, was destined to hate writing his own name from birth.
In late 1983, William had access to one of the biggest Christmas celebrations of his life.
Western European countries attach great importance to celebrating Christmas, but obviously, due to special historical reasons, and the Vatican where the Pope is located is in Italy, Christmas celebration in Italy will undoubtedly be more grand and grand.
For William, the "biggest" is because he didn't celebrate Christmas during the five years in the United States; in the seventeen or eight years in the UK, how should I put it, his grandfather's family's political stance has always been correct, He is a staunch Protestant who believes in the teachings of Protestant simplicity, a tradition that even the prodigal son Edward's father could not break.After the death of his grandparents, the Christmas tradition started by Edward's father was that the family of three had a big meal with the foreign players and staff of the Arsenal team who could not go home for the holiday.
Therefore, as long as the Lesenbra family in Italy mess around, it can become the biggest Christmas in William's life.What's more, I also know that the Lesenbra family can't be fooled casually. To be precise, the Lesenbra family has ten lifetimes and the whole family can spend more than they can spend on making wool. For a moment, save money for whom?
Moreover, in William's grandfather's family, there is an entire town with relatively close relatives, while the Lesenbra family now only has William's cousin and aunt.The same large amount of money spent on different bases of personnel will naturally have different effects.
Before it entered December, the servants in the Lexenbra Castle began busy preparations.
Twelve natural pine trees of the fir genus were prepared for the Christmas tree alone, which is a little more than in previous years, because there are three more family members celebrating the festival.
The tallest pine tree will be placed in the square in front of the castle to celebrate with the whole family; the second tallest will be placed in the castle hall with a high dome; then in front of the church; and then in the rooms of the three masters One tree is used for room decoration, and even the baby in the womb has a small miniature baby tree, which is full of stars and little angels.
The leftover Christmas tree is just in case.If they are not needed in the end, they will become the exclusive property of the servants of the castle that day, as well as donated to the church almshouse and slums in Palermo.
The Lesenbra family has always had a good reputation in Palermo, which is inseparable from their unremitting charity for generations.
The golden picture frames of all the famous paintings and characters in the castle, or the shield armor with the family crest, all became shiny after three times of wiping, and were decorated with gold, red and green Christmas decorations.
The butler is trying to make the whole castle more cozy.
The ancient castle occupies a huge area, and the decoration project cannot be completed overnight.William could find something different almost every day. The energetic housekeeper would lead a team of male and female servants to carry out the daily arrangement work with minimal movements that would not cause trouble to the master.For them who have lived here for generations, the Lexembra Castle is also their home, and everyone has bright smiles on their faces that are about to celebrate the festival.
When William was free, he would also help out with some things within his capacity, and then the eccentric housekeeper lady secretly stuffed a piece of liqueur chocolate produced in Turin into his mouth, which was so sweet to his heart.
"The meaning of Christmas, in fact, often does not lie in the night of eating and drinking, but in how you spend the entire Christmas holiday with your family." Mary's mother said to William.
In the first 20 years of her life, Mary's mother never celebrated Christmas. She grew up in a Jewish family, and she always thought that she was a Jew with a genetic mutation to have long milky white curly hair.She was first exposed to Christmas traditions after marrying Edward's father, and then when William was born, she began to really enjoy that "baby boy with a very strong red and white Christmas dress, a little bit Decorate Your Home" family activity.
Although William, who was in a small group, had an expressionless bun face most of the time, he never complained about anything.Instead, it will be like a little duck that has just learned to walk, pulling its own moving tool cart full of various Christmas decorations, and following closely behind Mama Mary, responsible for handing her things back and forth.
William, who loves to worry since he was a child, has to keep an eye on Mary's mother, who is climbing up and down, for fear that she will fall.
Edward's father was in charge of trouble most of the time, and he wanted to help, but he was always doing the wrong thing.So, most of the time, he was in charge of making jokes with his grandfather on the phone, trying to fight for the family to return to the old house later, and the possibility of leaving earlier.
The people in the old house were not very friendly to Mary's mother, which led to Edward's father and William always deciding to hate them.
Edward's father, who had won the victory on the phone and came to ask for praise, would suddenly swoop in and hug William, who was not flexible enough to avoid him.Fat paper.Theros, and tossed him into the air.
william.The expressionless Mr. Xiao always feels like this: "==Dad, you are so naive."
Next...
"Then your dad should go squat in the corner. The crying Lihua said with rain that the baby doesn't like me, so sad, I don't want to live." Elizabeth picked up William's words.
They were sitting around the fire at this moment, talking about how everyone spent Christmas every year.
William looked at his aunt with a big stomach in surprise: "How do you know?"
"Because at about the same time of the year it's my turn to call your mum and say hello to her Christmas card and every year you don't look very happy in the Christmas card and you really hate being photographed so much Is it? Well, speaking of your mother, she would always tell me helplessly, 'Will made Edward cry again' while holding an old-fashioned landline."
Then, the three members of the Lesembla family in front of the fireplace thought tacitly that fortunately Edward is pretty, and Mary is a beauty controler.
Although all Western European countries celebrate Christmas, in fact, different countries have different emphases.The United Kingdom is very traditional to prepare Christmas cakes and Christmas dinners; the United States has turned the tradition of giving Christmas gifts into a shopping frenzy on Black Friday after Thanksgiving; Italy's top priority is to make "Christmas mangers" (also called the Christmas stable).
The Christmas manger is generally prepared by the grandparents of the family, and it is a reproduction of the original scene of Jesus' birth in the manger.
Rich people make it extravagant and luxurious, while those without money can perfectly restore a Bethlehem village (it is said that Jesus was born here) with imagination.
As for the size of the Christmas manger, this will vary from person to person.Some people will put the miniature doll house at home, usually put it away in the basement, and then take it out as a decoration at Christmas; A true model of One, and real people will act out different characters in the Bible.Every year in many places, mothers start a "war" over who will play Baby Jesus.
Lesembla's house is a bit different. It is popular to restore a one-to-one real scene directly next to the church at home.
Yes, Lexembra Castle has its own church, just like every nobleman who had his own territory and castle in the Middle Ages would configure it.
They not only have their own church, but also their own priests, priests who only serve this family...they.
The priests of this generation of the Lesenbra family are very old. They have served four generations of the Lesenbra family, and now they are leading a young priest who has returned from studying in the Vatican.The little priest is blond, handsome and tall, like an archangel from the Bible, sacred and inviolable, he has been the leader of the choir since he was a child.
After the old priest passed away, the young and beautiful young priest would be his successor and continue to serve the Lesenbra family.
This is also the first time for the old priest to appear in front of the whole family of Lesenbra with the young priest who has been teaching for more than a year.
The whole family: Elizabeth, Sabatino and William.
Cough, the whole family is a bit small.For most of the European families that have continued to this day, the lineup of the Lesenbra family really makes people wonder what to say.
"Come on, we've got a lot of people this year," Aunt Elizabeth said, trying to liven up the atmosphere.
William was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that her aunt actually spent Christmas every year alone. Even with a dedicated housekeeper, it was difficult to conceal the loneliness of not having any relatives around her.In a restaurant that is so empty and frightening, on a long table that seems to have no end in sight, facing the table full of delicacies, even if it is steaming hot, it probably won't feel warm.
Sabatino glanced at Elisabeth's belly knowing his mother well.This queen is definitely not in the small artistic mood of "I am the only one eating at Christmas, so lonely". She just said with emotion that she is definitely pregnant. This is a miracle.
Don't forget that in the United States, there is no Christmas tradition for many years, but Elizabeth, who was born in a Jewish family.
Before the Christmas dinner, the old priest began to listen to the confession of each member of the Lesembla family.This has nothing to do with Christmas, it's just an unchanging tradition with personal characteristics of the Lesenbra family, even if Elizabeth is alone every year, she will confess it again.
Confession may not be heard by other family members, or you may choose to hear it, the only requirement is that you must tell the truth.
Spearheaded by Sabatino, who is the head of the house.
Sabatino was particularly succinct: "Good God, I sent them to heaven to talk to you in person, you should understand what I mean, Amen."
"..."
The old godfather said without surprise: "God will forgive you, my child."
Most of the members of the Black X Party family who originated from the Pope have this virtue, shouting God on their lips, but busy with blood on their hands.Compared with the previous patriarchs of the Lesembla family who always killed their blood relatives, this generation of Sabatino is already very generous and easy-going.
"Oh, by the way, remember last year I was with my cousin? This year we are still together. Although I don't think there is anything wrong with it." Sabatino added.
"..." The pretty little priest's expression seemed to crack.
The old priest was still so calm: "God will support you."
Then, it was William's turn to step forward.He held the dry and warm hand of the old priest, closed his eyes, and quietly recalled the past events in 1983, and finally he could only say: "Hi, God, my name is William. Sorry, I still want to be an atheist next year I'm sorry, but I'm still with my cousin."
"..." the little priest.
The old priest stroked William's short golden hair: "It doesn't matter, the Lord will always give you a chance."
Religious beliefs have always restricted the words and deeds of believers themselves, rather than interfering with other people's freedom.
When it was Elizabeth's turn, William was taken away by Sabatino. Accompanied by the little priest, they went to visit the oil paintings of the previous heads and wives of the Lesembla family.
Obviously, Elizabeth has a lot to confess, and none of them are known to William or the little priest who doesn't trust too much.
The little priest was responsible for explaining to William the story behind each oil painting of the master, which was Sabatino's test of whether the little priest was qualified.The priest of the Lesenbra family naturally has to be familiar with the history of the Lesenbra family.
From one end of the corridor to the other end, and then to the next door, I still haven't finished the portraits of the owner and his wife.However, William discovered that many members of the Lesenbra family were named Luciferd, not the German-style Ludwig, but Luciveld.Sabatino's father also had this somewhat different name.
"When the younger brother is born, he will be called Lucifer?" To commemorate the family tradition.It's like William's name is also the name of his ancestors.As for the fact that he will definitely have a younger brother, it was 2B250's spoiler for William, and it was only then that William knew that this guy also had the function of being a B-ultrasound.
Sabatino nodded dispensable: "Lucy Verde. Edward-Marie. Lesembla."
"He will definitely hate being punished by the teacher for writing his name in the future."
The little priest decided to be a silent good priest, not expressing any opinions on the patriarch and the patriarch... his partner's behavior of gloating over the next patriarch's misfortune.
Chapter 124 The 120th and fourth day of coming to Earth: The world's most beautiful baby was born.
In 1984, the seasons alternated between the end of winter and the beginning of spring.
Brian, the main producer of "Modern Mermaid", emailed William a report that the filming was over. It was a few days later than planned, but fortunately the budget was not exceeded.Now that the film has successfully entered post-production, due to the small investment in the film, it did not cooperate with Lucas's Industrial Light and Magic. The post-production team and music production are all Brian's own contacts when he was the director.
Looking at the cheap and affordable team expense report that Brian called, William suddenly had a feeling of seeing himself in the past.
"Crazy Detective" has also started filming at a studio in Los Angeles.
After MGM made money, it has been methodically rebuilding its own sound studios (buying back the ones that were sold when the business was struggling).Now that the construction has basically been completed, Yishui's latest high-tech equipment is just over Century City.
Wendy, who was a producer for the first time, called William and said that she wanted to borrow Sabatino's estate in Beverly for a while.Since the black detectives in the movie are cops working in Beverly, surely some scenes have to involve rich people in Beverly, or what would be richer than Sabatino's estate?Wendy, who was very "stingy" after learning from William, came up with the idea of free if she could.
"Okay, I'll talk to my cousin and the housekeeper. If you need my car and yacht at the port of Santa Monica, you can also use them."
"Didn't your yacht go to Manhattan Island?"
"My dear, the rich man's world is that we can have more than one yacht. The one in Santa Monica is new, a Christmas present, and it's called the Edward, which makes a good pair with the Mary in Manhattan. "The original owner of the one on Manhattan Island was Edward's father. He named the yacht after his wife. Now that William has his own yacht, he simply uses Edward's father's name.
"...I hate you." Wendy has been asking herself a question these years. Why did she want to be friends with rich people so hard? Isn't it just looking for excitement?
"Then don't use it."
"No, no, no, I mean, I love you the way you hate you." Wendy's voice couldn't be more flattering.
"Ah--" William couldn't help but sneezed.
Wendy oh oh: "It seems that this year the goddess of flu still hasn't forgotten you, take a good rest, honey. Are you going to confess to the boss of Lexenbra yourself, or should I call him?"
"I will tell myself, don't worry about it." William really didn't want to tell Sabatino that he was too worried every time.
"I'll check tomorrow." Wendy understood William's thoughts very well, and blocked his retreat completely, "Don't worry about work, I will tell you that Brian is fine recently and don't bother you Yes, okay~"
Unsurprisingly, William fell ill again. In front of the Great Flu King, no one could stand up, no one!In order to avoid infecting Aunt Liz, who was already very old, William took the initiative to move to the tower on the west side.This is the good thing about Jiada, it just moved to another place, just like living in the next block.
This time, the level of magic cast by the Influenza Demon King is neither bad nor bad. It can only be said that it has maintained the average level in history.
William routinely lay down with his forehead hot for a week, and occasionally, when Sabatino was away, he would sneak up to play computer games or something.
Wendy, who has always been in contact with William, strongly suspects that Sabatino actually knows about William's occasional stealing behavior.The reason why Sabatino leaves for an hour every time, and then comes back just in time, is obviously turning a blind eye to play with William. William oppressed too much.
Wendy thought of her lawyer boyfriend who only wanted to tease her for fun, and she felt overwhelmed: "Break up, I'm not kidding this time, we have to break up!"
Other people's lovers are the most annoying!
Lawyer Lowe, who was about to take the key to open the door and enter the house, stood silently at the door for another 3 minutes, waiting for the girlfriend in the door who had to talk to herself about "breakup farce" once a day to calm down, and then opened the door pretending to be nothing. walked in.
"You're back~" Wendy didn't realize it at all, but waved happily at Roy.
"En." Roy began to stand at the door with a blank expression on his slippers and hang up his coat.
Yes, Wendy and Lowe are living together.After dating for more than a year, we finally moved in together!Mr. Lowe, maddened by the idea of marriage, felt that he had never fought such a difficult lawsuit in his life.
Five minutes later, the doorbell rang at home.
... The knock on the door was one of the reasons why Lowe wasn't married yet.
Roy took a deep breath, and then he had the courage to face it with a smile: "Dad, Mom, you are here again."
"Please call me Mr. White, thank you, you and my daughter are not married yet, I am not your father in the legal sense." Whether you can get married is still in between.Mr. White looked at Roy with unkind eyes, this bastard who abducted his precious daughter!His daughter is still so young (actually not so young), how can she fall in love!What should I do if I was cheated? !There is nothing good about lawyers!Especially a white lawyer, let alone a thing!
Mr White even made himself a white T-shirt on Lowe's first visit, and wrote "I've been in jail" on the front with black marker on the T-shirt, and "I don't mind doing it for my daughter" on the back. Sit down one more time."
The threat to Roy was self-evident.
"Do you want an apple pie?" White's mother abruptly squeezed between the "sparks flying" husband and the prospective son-in-law, trying to use love & peace to ease the awkward atmosphere between the two men, "Just copy it out yo~"
The White family lives just downstairs from Wendy and Lowe, and the apple pie still retains its aroma very well.
Yes, after Roy and Wendy lived together, they directly applied for another apartment in the dormitory building of United Artists.Originally, with Roy's financial resources, he could have provided Wendy with a better and larger villa in New York, the kind near the bustling area.But she was rejected by Wendy on the grounds of "don't spend money recklessly". She prefers the environment in the United States dormitory building, where her parents and best friends are downstairs.
Wendy and Miguel are now also running trapeze activities in both Los Angeles and New York.
Wendy will set aside a weekend every two weeks to be with her family, but she doesn't want her parents to go back to Los Angeles and live in the unsafe neighborhood before, so she can only work harder...
"I said your parents can live in my house in Los Angeles." Well, to be precise, the house belongs to Mr. Lowe's brother, Mr. Special Assistant, but Mr. Special Assistant is not going to Italy with Sabatino now.
It's just that William added executive before the name of his producer (producer) position.
Commonly known as producer, or executive producer.
Simply put, part of MGM's old Samuel's post....Old Samuel’s name will appear on many movies, but he almost never directly participates in the production of the movie. He just represents the investors and the company’s top management, and decides whether the movie can be approved at the beginning, as well as investment and funding. affairs.
William has always felt that Columbia Pictures failed to make decisions on several important films (such as ET and Back to the Future) because they hired an executive producer who was not so suitable for the position.
And William's Golden Finger 2B250, in fact, can really shine in the aspect of executive producer's work.
On the third day after William arrived in Italy, Sabatino proposed to William an invitation to transfer his position. In his words: "Anyway, idle is idle. The executive producer is not busy, just playing Make a phone call, listen to someone else give you a project approval report, and then you can decide whether to successfully approve the project or call back to redo it.”
As for other things, there was old Samuel.
In fact, William has already worked with Samuel Sr. as part of the executive producer work, such as in the movie "007: Octopus Girl".
Old Samuel's work includes the executive producer, yes, but it is not limited to the executive producer. He is the director of the entire film department of MGM, and he is in charge of several executive producers. .It's as if he is the boss of a brokerage company, and he himself also works part-time as a broker for the company's elder brother and sister, but generally speaking, his job is to manage other brokers and the operation of the entire company.
The reason why William was able to bypass the other executive producers and go to the old Samuel's office to find old Samuel for support was really only because William had a cousin named Sabatino.le senbra.
Old Samuel has already passed the statutory retirement age, but due to various reasons, he has been holding on in the position of director of the film department, playing his spare time.
But in fact, old Samuel knew in his heart that sooner or later he would retire.
At first, the old Samuel thought that the opportunity for his retirement should be the acquisition of MGM by Sabatino six years ago, and the appointment of the new acting CEO Hugo. It would take MGM's most important film division.Unexpectedly, until Hugo's acting CEO became the real CEO, he didn't do that.
Not only did Samuel Sr. continue to sit in his seat, but it was further strengthened by William's successive successful films.
Later, the old Samuel felt that the opportunity for his retirement should be the acquisition of United Artists by the parent company Microsoft.If MGM and United Artists are going to merge, if the film department is merged into one, someone will definitely take the place of second-in-command. Compared with being a second-in-command, retiring will of course save everyone's mutual face.In the end, the sky still failed to meet people's wishes (this word seems to be used incorrectly, the literal understanding is good [hey), old Samuel thought too much again, although the company acquired Lianmei, Lianmei moved out directly and went to New York on the East Coast started afresh.
"What do you think Mr. Lesenbra is thinking?" Old Samuel was puzzled.
Old Samuel of course wanted to continue in this position, which had nothing to do with the high salary the company offered him.He had already been transferred to MGM's "partner" and received dividends from the company's shares. Even if he retired, he would still have a considerable income every year.For old Samuel, the more important issue is the issue of rights and status.
Yes, it's that vulgar, power and status.
The top management of MGM may not be a big deal in the past few years, but they are no longer what they used to be.Although it is still not as good as MGM in the golden age, at least it is no longer the situation where anyone can step on it when the sun is waning.Although the old Samuel always scolded his sons for not living up to expectations, he still had to think about their future.
The silver-haired secretary and special assistant Greta, who is still struggling in her job like old Samuel, said with a poisonous tongue: "Maybe it's just that Mr. Lesenbra forgot about you."
"..." Old Samuel touched his stomach, it hurt a little. What the hell was he thinking when he hired Greta more than 30 years ago?Make yourself guilty?
Greta looked back sincerely, because I was pretty when I was young.
"Well, I was skeptical too, but believe me, I checked with Hugo, and I haven't been forgotten."
Greta shrugged, and she looked like a thin old lady with exceptional spirit: "Did you really ask? I was just joking. Obviously, Mr. Lesenbra arranged for you before the young master can be alone. As a shield."
"Master?"
"The one who went to Italy recently."
william.Theros!Old Samuel was so enlightened. It's not that he really couldn't think of this, but from the very beginning, he regarded William as the successor of his successor.After all, at William's age, even as the successor of the successor, William seemed a bit too young for the film company executives, who were very particular about seniority.
"The young master is 22 this year, and he is almost 24, five, and thirty, so he is not considered young, right?"
"== You can really approximate it." Why don't you say that he is going to be a hundred soon? !
"The point is not how old I approximated Mr. Serus, but at what age was Mr. Lesenbra when he became the founder of Microsoft. Mr. Lesenbra can wait for almost five years before he arranges for the young master to become the master. The film department, in my opinion, is not easy, even shocking. Wendy, who is next to Mr. Serus, has almost been trained, and she is obviously a special assistant, but in fact, it is obvious that she handles chores." It's like these "chores" that old Samuel is doing now.
In order to save face for old Samuel, Greta didn't say the last sentence.
"Then should I wink?" It's like voluntarily applying for retirement or something in exchange for his son's promotion in MGM.The major film companies have always had the unspoken rule that "relatives cannot be senior officials in the same department". Only when old Samuel retired, his son could make a comeback.
"Don't worry, it will take another one or two years. When Mr. Serus and Wendy have established a firm foothold and gained a foothold, you can leave. I can retire too, my retirement villa in Florida Bought it for years. When Mr. Lesenbra transferred William back to Los Angeles, that's when you can file for retirement."
"...I didn't really ask you, but I was polite." In terms of unspoken rules in the workplace, old Samuel thought he was playing around with Biggerita, or Greta would not be his secretary now.
"I know." Greta glanced sideways at old Samir, and answered in a very straightforward manner.
In the second half of 1983, William officially started to perform the work of producer. The initial part was naturally his best-selecting scripts and projects, directing remotely through telephone and computer.Due to the time difference, William took care of his aunt Elizabeth just in time.
After pregnancy, Elizabeth was almost the same as usual. She didn’t vomit, didn’t feel emotional, and the only difference was probably that she started to sleep in late. bed unit.
This just gave William time to deal with work.
After exercising in the morning, William will start looking at the computer and deal with the work of the day.It happened to be a weekday afternoon in Los Angeles at that time, and nothing was delayed.
The two films that William finally selected for the project were "Spiritual Discovery" and "Modern Mermaid".
"Modern Mermaid" had already started filming at the end of October 83, and the producer was Brian, who was the producer for the first time.Glazer, the other party has been working as a director before, this is his transformation.William recommended his friend Tom.Hanks plays the leading role.
According to the report given by Brian, The Mermaid should be able to catch up with the release in May next year.As a warm-up for the summer vacation, when college students are already on vacation.
William is very optimistic about the script of The Mermaid, and has decided to apply for the best screenplay for the 1985 Oscars and Golden Globe Awards. Even if it is only nominated, it will bring a lot of sales of video tapes and VCDs to the film.
"A Wonderful Detective" was just approved at the end of the year.
Because on the issue of the actor's personality, William and MGM's top management have a big difference.The actor in the original script was a black police detective. William didn't think there was any problem with a black actor playing the leading role alone, but in the eyes of MGM executives, they felt that this was simply contrary to common sense.
It may be said that the movie discriminates. Generally, Hollywood movies like to cast some people of color as supporting roles. It seems that everyone jokes that three or four white people must have a black friend.
But outright black starring roles?
For box office audiences who are still dominated by white groups, it is really unpredictable whether they can accept it.
In fact, "Traveling Out" has been in MGM's script library for two years, and the reason why it hasn't started filming is because of the personality of the leading actor.The writers wouldn't back down, and no producer was willing to take the risk.
After screening the latest scripts and finding nothing interesting except "Modern Mermaid", William looked forward to the scripts of previous years, and only then found "The Wonderful Discovery".William thinks it has great potential. In fact, if William finds out a while later, the screenwriter will have to cast Paramount for the second time. William doesn't want to be the second in Columbia.
In the absence of a producer, Wendy came to the stage for the first time, and she was willing to take this risk with William for the first time in her career.
The black actor was recommended by Sabatino, Eddie.Murphy, the other party, has been a resident actor on the popular variety show "Saturday Night Live" since 1980, and has established a unique funny style of street gangsters.William is also a loyal viewer of "Saturday Night Live".
It wasn't until the end of 83 that William, who could only remotely control through the phone, finally got the two movies completely done and let him start shooting.
William also finally understood Samuel's embarrassment back then. In many cases, it was not old Samuel who was stingy, or procrastinating and unwilling to do things, but old Samuel who was really powerless.The birth of a movie requires the struggle of many parties.William's cousin is called Sabatino.Lexenbra, it's all so difficult, one can imagine what will happen to others.
While arguing with the MGM executives, William took the opportunity to work on United Artists' side and won a chance for Robert, the screenwriter of Back to the Future, to be truly directed by him.
The movie is called "Emerald", and it is an adventure action movie brought up after the craze of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
It is said that [-]th Century Fox was working on this project at the beginning, but it was not known which intermediate link had a problem, and it has been delayed until now, so it approached United Artists to seek cooperation.
Therefore, William recommended Robert as a matter of course. Sometimes it is not that William wants to be nepotism, but that he can only trust people he knows.
As soon as the second and third parts of Back to the Future hit the board, Robert will immediately go to the Emerald crew.
As for MiG, according to himself, he already had a new idea, wrote and directed it himself, and by the way, he became his own producer.But he will go to help Wendy first, and his own film is not in a hurry to start shooting, because he wants to catch up with the release of the Oscars in 85 a month or two ago.The meaning is very obvious. Miguel is also preparing to turn from a profitable blockbuster to an award-winning literary film, and he has a lot of ambitions. He has set his sights on the Oscars from the very beginning.
The author has something to say: *Executive producer and the executive producer or supervisor in the Chinese translation are actually not the same in nature, there are places where rights overlap, and there are places where they don’t overlap _(:з」∠)_ but I can’t find a more suitable one Translated, in the information book I bought, the two titles are mixed together, so...
Chapter 123 The 120th day after coming to Earth: Luciferd Edward-Marie Lesembla, the child, was destined to hate writing his own name from birth.
In late 1983, William had access to one of the biggest Christmas celebrations of his life.
Western European countries attach great importance to celebrating Christmas, but obviously, due to special historical reasons, and the Vatican where the Pope is located is in Italy, Christmas celebration in Italy will undoubtedly be more grand and grand.
For William, the "biggest" is because he didn't celebrate Christmas during the five years in the United States; in the seventeen or eight years in the UK, how should I put it, his grandfather's family's political stance has always been correct, He is a staunch Protestant who believes in the teachings of Protestant simplicity, a tradition that even the prodigal son Edward's father could not break.After the death of his grandparents, the Christmas tradition started by Edward's father was that the family of three had a big meal with the foreign players and staff of the Arsenal team who could not go home for the holiday.
Therefore, as long as the Lesenbra family in Italy mess around, it can become the biggest Christmas in William's life.What's more, I also know that the Lesenbra family can't be fooled casually. To be precise, the Lesenbra family has ten lifetimes and the whole family can spend more than they can spend on making wool. For a moment, save money for whom?
Moreover, in William's grandfather's family, there is an entire town with relatively close relatives, while the Lesenbra family now only has William's cousin and aunt.The same large amount of money spent on different bases of personnel will naturally have different effects.
Before it entered December, the servants in the Lexenbra Castle began busy preparations.
Twelve natural pine trees of the fir genus were prepared for the Christmas tree alone, which is a little more than in previous years, because there are three more family members celebrating the festival.
The tallest pine tree will be placed in the square in front of the castle to celebrate with the whole family; the second tallest will be placed in the castle hall with a high dome; then in front of the church; and then in the rooms of the three masters One tree is used for room decoration, and even the baby in the womb has a small miniature baby tree, which is full of stars and little angels.
The leftover Christmas tree is just in case.If they are not needed in the end, they will become the exclusive property of the servants of the castle that day, as well as donated to the church almshouse and slums in Palermo.
The Lesenbra family has always had a good reputation in Palermo, which is inseparable from their unremitting charity for generations.
The golden picture frames of all the famous paintings and characters in the castle, or the shield armor with the family crest, all became shiny after three times of wiping, and were decorated with gold, red and green Christmas decorations.
The butler is trying to make the whole castle more cozy.
The ancient castle occupies a huge area, and the decoration project cannot be completed overnight.William could find something different almost every day. The energetic housekeeper would lead a team of male and female servants to carry out the daily arrangement work with minimal movements that would not cause trouble to the master.For them who have lived here for generations, the Lexembra Castle is also their home, and everyone has bright smiles on their faces that are about to celebrate the festival.
When William was free, he would also help out with some things within his capacity, and then the eccentric housekeeper lady secretly stuffed a piece of liqueur chocolate produced in Turin into his mouth, which was so sweet to his heart.
"The meaning of Christmas, in fact, often does not lie in the night of eating and drinking, but in how you spend the entire Christmas holiday with your family." Mary's mother said to William.
In the first 20 years of her life, Mary's mother never celebrated Christmas. She grew up in a Jewish family, and she always thought that she was a Jew with a genetic mutation to have long milky white curly hair.She was first exposed to Christmas traditions after marrying Edward's father, and then when William was born, she began to really enjoy that "baby boy with a very strong red and white Christmas dress, a little bit Decorate Your Home" family activity.
Although William, who was in a small group, had an expressionless bun face most of the time, he never complained about anything.Instead, it will be like a little duck that has just learned to walk, pulling its own moving tool cart full of various Christmas decorations, and following closely behind Mama Mary, responsible for handing her things back and forth.
William, who loves to worry since he was a child, has to keep an eye on Mary's mother, who is climbing up and down, for fear that she will fall.
Edward's father was in charge of trouble most of the time, and he wanted to help, but he was always doing the wrong thing.So, most of the time, he was in charge of making jokes with his grandfather on the phone, trying to fight for the family to return to the old house later, and the possibility of leaving earlier.
The people in the old house were not very friendly to Mary's mother, which led to Edward's father and William always deciding to hate them.
Edward's father, who had won the victory on the phone and came to ask for praise, would suddenly swoop in and hug William, who was not flexible enough to avoid him.Fat paper.Theros, and tossed him into the air.
william.The expressionless Mr. Xiao always feels like this: "==Dad, you are so naive."
Next...
"Then your dad should go squat in the corner. The crying Lihua said with rain that the baby doesn't like me, so sad, I don't want to live." Elizabeth picked up William's words.
They were sitting around the fire at this moment, talking about how everyone spent Christmas every year.
William looked at his aunt with a big stomach in surprise: "How do you know?"
"Because at about the same time of the year it's my turn to call your mum and say hello to her Christmas card and every year you don't look very happy in the Christmas card and you really hate being photographed so much Is it? Well, speaking of your mother, she would always tell me helplessly, 'Will made Edward cry again' while holding an old-fashioned landline."
Then, the three members of the Lesembla family in front of the fireplace thought tacitly that fortunately Edward is pretty, and Mary is a beauty controler.
Although all Western European countries celebrate Christmas, in fact, different countries have different emphases.The United Kingdom is very traditional to prepare Christmas cakes and Christmas dinners; the United States has turned the tradition of giving Christmas gifts into a shopping frenzy on Black Friday after Thanksgiving; Italy's top priority is to make "Christmas mangers" (also called the Christmas stable).
The Christmas manger is generally prepared by the grandparents of the family, and it is a reproduction of the original scene of Jesus' birth in the manger.
Rich people make it extravagant and luxurious, while those without money can perfectly restore a Bethlehem village (it is said that Jesus was born here) with imagination.
As for the size of the Christmas manger, this will vary from person to person.Some people will put the miniature doll house at home, usually put it away in the basement, and then take it out as a decoration at Christmas; A true model of One, and real people will act out different characters in the Bible.Every year in many places, mothers start a "war" over who will play Baby Jesus.
Lesembla's house is a bit different. It is popular to restore a one-to-one real scene directly next to the church at home.
Yes, Lexembra Castle has its own church, just like every nobleman who had his own territory and castle in the Middle Ages would configure it.
They not only have their own church, but also their own priests, priests who only serve this family...they.
The priests of this generation of the Lesenbra family are very old. They have served four generations of the Lesenbra family, and now they are leading a young priest who has returned from studying in the Vatican.The little priest is blond, handsome and tall, like an archangel from the Bible, sacred and inviolable, he has been the leader of the choir since he was a child.
After the old priest passed away, the young and beautiful young priest would be his successor and continue to serve the Lesenbra family.
This is also the first time for the old priest to appear in front of the whole family of Lesenbra with the young priest who has been teaching for more than a year.
The whole family: Elizabeth, Sabatino and William.
Cough, the whole family is a bit small.For most of the European families that have continued to this day, the lineup of the Lesenbra family really makes people wonder what to say.
"Come on, we've got a lot of people this year," Aunt Elizabeth said, trying to liven up the atmosphere.
William was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that her aunt actually spent Christmas every year alone. Even with a dedicated housekeeper, it was difficult to conceal the loneliness of not having any relatives around her.In a restaurant that is so empty and frightening, on a long table that seems to have no end in sight, facing the table full of delicacies, even if it is steaming hot, it probably won't feel warm.
Sabatino glanced at Elisabeth's belly knowing his mother well.This queen is definitely not in the small artistic mood of "I am the only one eating at Christmas, so lonely". She just said with emotion that she is definitely pregnant. This is a miracle.
Don't forget that in the United States, there is no Christmas tradition for many years, but Elizabeth, who was born in a Jewish family.
Before the Christmas dinner, the old priest began to listen to the confession of each member of the Lesembla family.This has nothing to do with Christmas, it's just an unchanging tradition with personal characteristics of the Lesenbra family, even if Elizabeth is alone every year, she will confess it again.
Confession may not be heard by other family members, or you may choose to hear it, the only requirement is that you must tell the truth.
Spearheaded by Sabatino, who is the head of the house.
Sabatino was particularly succinct: "Good God, I sent them to heaven to talk to you in person, you should understand what I mean, Amen."
"..."
The old godfather said without surprise: "God will forgive you, my child."
Most of the members of the Black X Party family who originated from the Pope have this virtue, shouting God on their lips, but busy with blood on their hands.Compared with the previous patriarchs of the Lesembla family who always killed their blood relatives, this generation of Sabatino is already very generous and easy-going.
"Oh, by the way, remember last year I was with my cousin? This year we are still together. Although I don't think there is anything wrong with it." Sabatino added.
"..." The pretty little priest's expression seemed to crack.
The old priest was still so calm: "God will support you."
Then, it was William's turn to step forward.He held the dry and warm hand of the old priest, closed his eyes, and quietly recalled the past events in 1983, and finally he could only say: "Hi, God, my name is William. Sorry, I still want to be an atheist next year I'm sorry, but I'm still with my cousin."
"..." the little priest.
The old priest stroked William's short golden hair: "It doesn't matter, the Lord will always give you a chance."
Religious beliefs have always restricted the words and deeds of believers themselves, rather than interfering with other people's freedom.
When it was Elizabeth's turn, William was taken away by Sabatino. Accompanied by the little priest, they went to visit the oil paintings of the previous heads and wives of the Lesembla family.
Obviously, Elizabeth has a lot to confess, and none of them are known to William or the little priest who doesn't trust too much.
The little priest was responsible for explaining to William the story behind each oil painting of the master, which was Sabatino's test of whether the little priest was qualified.The priest of the Lesenbra family naturally has to be familiar with the history of the Lesenbra family.
From one end of the corridor to the other end, and then to the next door, I still haven't finished the portraits of the owner and his wife.However, William discovered that many members of the Lesenbra family were named Luciferd, not the German-style Ludwig, but Luciveld.Sabatino's father also had this somewhat different name.
"When the younger brother is born, he will be called Lucifer?" To commemorate the family tradition.It's like William's name is also the name of his ancestors.As for the fact that he will definitely have a younger brother, it was 2B250's spoiler for William, and it was only then that William knew that this guy also had the function of being a B-ultrasound.
Sabatino nodded dispensable: "Lucy Verde. Edward-Marie. Lesembla."
"He will definitely hate being punished by the teacher for writing his name in the future."
The little priest decided to be a silent good priest, not expressing any opinions on the patriarch and the patriarch... his partner's behavior of gloating over the next patriarch's misfortune.
Chapter 124 The 120th and fourth day of coming to Earth: The world's most beautiful baby was born.
In 1984, the seasons alternated between the end of winter and the beginning of spring.
Brian, the main producer of "Modern Mermaid", emailed William a report that the filming was over. It was a few days later than planned, but fortunately the budget was not exceeded.Now that the film has successfully entered post-production, due to the small investment in the film, it did not cooperate with Lucas's Industrial Light and Magic. The post-production team and music production are all Brian's own contacts when he was the director.
Looking at the cheap and affordable team expense report that Brian called, William suddenly had a feeling of seeing himself in the past.
"Crazy Detective" has also started filming at a studio in Los Angeles.
After MGM made money, it has been methodically rebuilding its own sound studios (buying back the ones that were sold when the business was struggling).Now that the construction has basically been completed, Yishui's latest high-tech equipment is just over Century City.
Wendy, who was a producer for the first time, called William and said that she wanted to borrow Sabatino's estate in Beverly for a while.Since the black detectives in the movie are cops working in Beverly, surely some scenes have to involve rich people in Beverly, or what would be richer than Sabatino's estate?Wendy, who was very "stingy" after learning from William, came up with the idea of free if she could.
"Okay, I'll talk to my cousin and the housekeeper. If you need my car and yacht at the port of Santa Monica, you can also use them."
"Didn't your yacht go to Manhattan Island?"
"My dear, the rich man's world is that we can have more than one yacht. The one in Santa Monica is new, a Christmas present, and it's called the Edward, which makes a good pair with the Mary in Manhattan. "The original owner of the one on Manhattan Island was Edward's father. He named the yacht after his wife. Now that William has his own yacht, he simply uses Edward's father's name.
"...I hate you." Wendy has been asking herself a question these years. Why did she want to be friends with rich people so hard? Isn't it just looking for excitement?
"Then don't use it."
"No, no, no, I mean, I love you the way you hate you." Wendy's voice couldn't be more flattering.
"Ah--" William couldn't help but sneezed.
Wendy oh oh: "It seems that this year the goddess of flu still hasn't forgotten you, take a good rest, honey. Are you going to confess to the boss of Lexenbra yourself, or should I call him?"
"I will tell myself, don't worry about it." William really didn't want to tell Sabatino that he was too worried every time.
"I'll check tomorrow." Wendy understood William's thoughts very well, and blocked his retreat completely, "Don't worry about work, I will tell you that Brian is fine recently and don't bother you Yes, okay~"
Unsurprisingly, William fell ill again. In front of the Great Flu King, no one could stand up, no one!In order to avoid infecting Aunt Liz, who was already very old, William took the initiative to move to the tower on the west side.This is the good thing about Jiada, it just moved to another place, just like living in the next block.
This time, the level of magic cast by the Influenza Demon King is neither bad nor bad. It can only be said that it has maintained the average level in history.
William routinely lay down with his forehead hot for a week, and occasionally, when Sabatino was away, he would sneak up to play computer games or something.
Wendy, who has always been in contact with William, strongly suspects that Sabatino actually knows about William's occasional stealing behavior.The reason why Sabatino leaves for an hour every time, and then comes back just in time, is obviously turning a blind eye to play with William. William oppressed too much.
Wendy thought of her lawyer boyfriend who only wanted to tease her for fun, and she felt overwhelmed: "Break up, I'm not kidding this time, we have to break up!"
Other people's lovers are the most annoying!
Lawyer Lowe, who was about to take the key to open the door and enter the house, stood silently at the door for another 3 minutes, waiting for the girlfriend in the door who had to talk to herself about "breakup farce" once a day to calm down, and then opened the door pretending to be nothing. walked in.
"You're back~" Wendy didn't realize it at all, but waved happily at Roy.
"En." Roy began to stand at the door with a blank expression on his slippers and hang up his coat.
Yes, Wendy and Lowe are living together.After dating for more than a year, we finally moved in together!Mr. Lowe, maddened by the idea of marriage, felt that he had never fought such a difficult lawsuit in his life.
Five minutes later, the doorbell rang at home.
... The knock on the door was one of the reasons why Lowe wasn't married yet.
Roy took a deep breath, and then he had the courage to face it with a smile: "Dad, Mom, you are here again."
"Please call me Mr. White, thank you, you and my daughter are not married yet, I am not your father in the legal sense." Whether you can get married is still in between.Mr. White looked at Roy with unkind eyes, this bastard who abducted his precious daughter!His daughter is still so young (actually not so young), how can she fall in love!What should I do if I was cheated? !There is nothing good about lawyers!Especially a white lawyer, let alone a thing!
Mr White even made himself a white T-shirt on Lowe's first visit, and wrote "I've been in jail" on the front with black marker on the T-shirt, and "I don't mind doing it for my daughter" on the back. Sit down one more time."
The threat to Roy was self-evident.
"Do you want an apple pie?" White's mother abruptly squeezed between the "sparks flying" husband and the prospective son-in-law, trying to use love & peace to ease the awkward atmosphere between the two men, "Just copy it out yo~"
The White family lives just downstairs from Wendy and Lowe, and the apple pie still retains its aroma very well.
Yes, after Roy and Wendy lived together, they directly applied for another apartment in the dormitory building of United Artists.Originally, with Roy's financial resources, he could have provided Wendy with a better and larger villa in New York, the kind near the bustling area.But she was rejected by Wendy on the grounds of "don't spend money recklessly". She prefers the environment in the United States dormitory building, where her parents and best friends are downstairs.
Wendy and Miguel are now also running trapeze activities in both Los Angeles and New York.
Wendy will set aside a weekend every two weeks to be with her family, but she doesn't want her parents to go back to Los Angeles and live in the unsafe neighborhood before, so she can only work harder...
"I said your parents can live in my house in Los Angeles." Well, to be precise, the house belongs to Mr. Lowe's brother, Mr. Special Assistant, but Mr. Special Assistant is not going to Italy with Sabatino now.
