Producer [American Entertainment]

On October 10, just before Halloween, Sabatino called and told William that he wanted him to come back to New York anyway.

William had no choice but to apologize to all the friends who had made an appointment to have a Halloween party together, and then got on the plane to New York.This time William did not bring Luciferd and Marshmallow, because he will come back soon to discuss the issue of "The Purple" with Spielberg. William has decided to invest in "The Purple", which will become MGM The key project for the Olympics in 86.

Little Luciferd and Uncle Marshmallow were handed over to Wendy and Lowe, the couple to look after.

William originally planned to let the experienced old housekeeper in Beverly Manor do it for him, but Wendy insisted on "developing a relationship with Vader's baby" (Wendy's original words), and then took over the task of taking care of the children and The troubles of cats day and night.

Wendy was playing in the living room with Lucifer in her arms, teasing him by the way: "We don't bother, right?"

"En!" Baby Vader nodded heavily.

Lovely Wendy's heart is melting.

Lowe, who flew to Los Angeles on purpose to spend a hot and passionate Halloween night with his girlfriend, the resentment in his eyes could turn into substance to kill.

However, Roy couldn't do anything to William, so he could only call and harass his married twin brother.

"Do you think that taking care of the child and the cat is the scariest part? Wrong, big mistake!" Across the phone, Mr. Special Assistant could feel Roy's grief and indignation.

"If Wendy and I were the only ones taking care of the little boss, I could still comfort myself and say, treat this as a pre-marriage practice, and Wendy and I will have our own children sooner or later, so it's not interesting now.

"But damn it, Wendy's gay Mimigo said that since they couldn't go to the party because of something, he didn't go at all, he wanted to come and watch the kids with Wendy.

"Guess what Wendy said?

"'Yes, yes!'"

Roy's vivid expression of Wendy's voice and expression really left a "deep" impression on him.

"Don't even give me the last alone time! Man! Do it! Whoever you are, please hurry up and introduce a boyfriend to MiG—"

On the other end of the phone, there were only Mr. Special Assistant and Mrs. Lily's not-so-kind muffled laughter. This was the first time they had seen Lowe, who had always been relentless, go crazy. Naturally, they wanted to see enough of it.

"Is the big boss going to mess with something else this time?" Roy said that his jokes were not for nothing. Although he was very impulsive, he also had his own calculations under the impulsiveness. Sabatino's plan's own brother is here, find out about Sabatino's plan, and then spoil his family! (Literal spoiler for the whole family, no one will let it go)

"He asked for marriage." Mr. Special Assistant really couldn't hide any secrets in front of his brother.

"!!!" Before I proposed, he thought of the way to propose? !This unscientific!The crime is added to the class!

Of course, Lowe still failed to spoil Sabatino's family in the end, because Wendy refused to let him.

MiG and Luciferd watched the whole process, and then MiG quietly said to Luciferd, "Nature is so amazing."

"En?" Luciferd tilted his head in doubt, not understanding what MiG was talking about.

"I mean, who would have thought that the nemesis of Roy, who is smarter than ghosts, would be Wendy. Silly and sweet. White. Well, maybe it's not so incredible, after all, Wendy has a standard role as a romantic hostess." People." MiG said to himself.

——"Roy, in the novel, there is only one male lead, and the villain is the second male lead. There can't be more scenes." Miguel once used his professional vision in the directing industry for many years to complain sharply to William, "Lao Yi Neng counterattacked and became the male lead, it must be because God dozed off."

Wendy was very excited for William, so she would never let her boyfriend ruin the surprise of her friend.

"However, to be honest, the proposal date chosen by the big boss Lexenbra is really... ingenious." Who will propose on Halloween?

Sabatino will.

why?

Because Sabatino's father proposed to Elizabeth on Halloween, and he succeeded once!God knows what Mr. Lesembla was thinking back then, but such a tradition should be respected, just like the pair of plain wedding rings that Sabatino was going to give to William.It is said to be the engagement ring of an ancestor of the Lesembla family who also married the same sex.

Yes, the strange family of Lesenbra also had a gay patriarch, the probability is not small, and the legal heir does not know where it came from.

Of course, Sabatino tricked William to New York, and it was impossible to use the burning reason of "I want to propose to you".He chose a real reason to disguise the nature of the proposal.

The reason is...

"Remember that phone call from the Navy Department?" Sabatino said to William on the phone.

The Office of the Ministry of National Defense approached Sabatino this time, not because of the project they were secretly cooperating with Microsoft, but because they wanted to find Sabatino to make a movie. They were going to invest in a movie with political propaganda significance. The term "relationship" applies everywhere, and the Ministry of National Defense wanted to make a movie, so it naturally felt that it would be more reliable to find a familiar friend.

Therefore, Microsoft, which owns two film companies, was selected in this way.

The main partner of the Ministry of National Defense's conscription this time is the US Navy, and the protagonist's occupation has been restricted to death-naval pilots.

Naval pilots can almost be said to be the most special and attractive arms in any country, serving two types: land and ships.With the best treatment and the highest benefits, they are rare and precious special talents piled up with real money from the country.The main responsibility is to cooperate with the navy's operations at sea, which is a very important part of national defense.

When making a movie about recruiting soldiers, what is shown to the audience can only be this kind of particularly handsome soldier.As for the actual work after serving in the military, uh, the gap is basically the seller's show and the buyer's show.

Cooperating with government departments, especially the army with a lot of oil and water, will certainly not suffer. Even after filming and release, there will be a lot of policy benefits. This is something that other Hollywood giants can't ask for. good thing.Naturally, William would not push this kind of prestige project out of the door, but he would not be the main producer, or the kind of executive producer with a name.

In the Upper East Side house, Sabatino was extremely nervous, because he was not asking for marriage tonight, but also confessing something that he should have confessed a long time ago, but was interrupted by Luciferd's suddenness.

Well, although Sabatino feels that he is very nervous, and the inner activities are enough to act in several bloody TV series, but he always only has one expression on the surface, that is expressionless, ==.

So William had no idea what was going to happen next, he just regarded it as a very ordinary dinner.

He ate happily and talked about work very happily.

"Speaking of which, do you know? I recently had a brand new idea about my work." After drinking and eating, William's talkativeness still did not decrease. Instead, he even faintly said, "This is the topic of tonight." Feeling, he said to Sabatino, "Remember what I told you before, I want to have a comic convention in New York? It's like a San Diego comic convention."

"Hmm." Sabatino, who was just about to talk about the subject of the marriage proposal, swallowed the words abruptly, pretending that he cared about a series of work matters that William was talking about now.

BALABALA...

"Are you listening?"

"I heard, Robert. Redford asked you to co-organize the Saint Denis Film Festival. I really like the "Ordinary People" he directed in the 80s. I remember that he seems to have won the best picture Oscar. Yes Right? This is indeed a better idea than holding New York Comic Con.” Sabatino still has the basic ability to focus on two things.

William was very happy with Sabatino's concentration, and continued to talk happily: "Yes, yes, I also think that the Saint Denis Film Festival should be more developed than the New York Comic Con. I mean, under the current situation, the New York Comic Con Of course it still needs to be done, but maybe it should be a few years later."

Redford is not only a well-known actor in the United States, but also an important Oscar-winning director.

After Redford won the Oscar in 80, he and his friends established the Dennis Institute in Utah in 81, aiming to help new directors and screenwriters to work hard for the development of diverse independent films.

In 1981, William also won an Oscar for "Two Smoking Barrels".Redford saw The Bong in the theater and liked it so much that he bought the videotape for his collection.After Oscar, Redford got in touch with William through Wheeler.The two have a common language in low-budget independent films, and it can be said that they hit it off. On the phone, Redford and William talked about the idea of ​​​​the Dennis Institute.

The Dennis Institute is a non-profit project and cannot bring any benefits to William, but he is still very happy to use the money he made from the previous film production to invest in the Dennis Institute to support its development.

This was originally a trivial matter in William's life that he couldn't mention it, but who would have thought of it?Today, a few years later, Redford will give William such a surprise - the Saint Denis Film Festival.

It made William, who was considering using the spare money to invest in New York to start the "New York Comic Con", have a different idea.

He means, they all have to admit that the Two-dimensional culture hasn't really developed in America yet, has it? Shueisha, a subsidiary of FW Publishing, still targets young people with little financial means.When these people grow up, the two-dimensional works represented by Transformers will become the cultural dumping strategy that William is most proud of.But now...let them be realistic.

The reality here, what William is talking about is not how much money the Saint Denis Film Festival has earned him, but that this film festival aimed at supporting independent films, after it can really start, the William behind it "starts from participating in the game." The transformation of the identity of the player to the person who makes the rules for the referees and judges.

This will definitely become an important turning point in William's life, the kind of importance that the final exam for him to become a big man in the entertainment industry will take a big step forward.

As for the hobby of New York Comic Con, I can only make concessions in front of my career.

When William finally finished speaking, Sabatino opened his mouth as quickly as possible to regain the initiative. He could no longer let William "work, work or work" any longer.

"In addition to the fact that the Ministry of National Defense will make a military conscription film today, I have one more thing, or two things to tell you. The two are connected together. Before I speak, I can ask you to guarantee that you will Let me say it all before throwing a tantrum at me, or something?

"Having lost your temper?" William was taken aback for a moment, and he was a little puzzled, "Why should I lose my temper with you?"

Then, without waiting for Sabatino to answer, William frowned: "Are you cheating?"

"...Why do you think so?"

"Because it's the only thing I feel like I'd be really mad at you." William was serious, and he was also very possessive.

Sabatino was both moved and helpless, but unexpectedly, William said something very sweet first, and he was in a bad mood.Of course, the inner activities did not affect Sabatino's quick statement: "I will never betray you in my life, whether it is mentally or physically."

"OK. Then, you can start." William nodded, and he felt that there was nothing he could not accept.

"This matter requires us to go somewhere first."

William obviously hesitated for a moment, Sabatino didn't really do something extraordinary, did he?Want to move places?What are they going to do?

"...I don't know what you're thinking, but I swear it's not the messy things you think." Sabatino was helpless. It's not scary to have a lover who thinks too much and jumps too fast. What's scary is him. I think such a William is cute!Has his aesthetics been irreparable?

"I didn't think about anything." William said righteously.

Sabatino had a hard time holding back his smile.

Then, they walked down Lexington Avenue together, and began what most people love to do in the early stages of a relationship-pressing the road.

The weather in New York has been a bit too cold recently, and before William hurried out, he didn't forget to put on a camel-colored pure wool scarf.

Does this description sound familiar?

Anyway, William is very familiar with it, because he only dreamed about it not long ago.

……

William had that dream again.

The dream where he took a bullet for Sabatino and died.

Then William woke up.

Sitting on the big bed and looking around blankly, his brain was a little slow when he woke up suddenly. After a while, William could distinguish reality from the dream. The dream was so real that he could still recall the moment when his mental body was forcibly torn apart. pain.

At this time, William was living in the master bedroom of the Lexembra Manor in Beverly, with the novel "Purple" and the beginning of the script that he had just read before going to bed in his hand. The opinion given by 2B250 at the time was that the novel can only be nominated for an Oscar at most, and if you want to win an award, you have to work hard on the adaptation of the script.William never forgot about this, and even his dreams were full of plots.In the end, I don't know how it happened, and a good dream became like this.

On the crib next door, Luciferd and Cotton Candy were sleeping soundly. One person and one cat seemed to be breathing in synch, which made people feel a lot of comfort unconsciously.William suppressed his fear of the dream, not wanting to break such a warm peace.

William quietly got out of bed and deliberately went to the bathroom in the next room.

He slapped his face with cold water over and over again, trying to wake himself up at three o'clock in the morning.

The last time William dreamed of this bullet-blocking nightmare, Sabatino was by his side.At tens of thousands of feet, he understood that he liked Sabatino to be with him all the time.So what does it mean to dream about it again this time?

William opened his mouth and asked himself in the mirror in a hurry.

That one answered by himself, nightmares are all reversed.

Yes, nightmares are reversed!

William didn't want anyone to worry, so he didn't tell anyone, just lay down on the bed with his eyes open until dawn, and then pretended nothing happened the next day.

……

In the end, it was really as if nothing had happened.

until today.

If it weren't for the children in costumes on the street, going door to door asking for candy for Halloween, William would have almost mistakenly thought this was his dream come true.

There were even some snowflakes actually falling from the sky.

Uh, well, not really snowflakes, just some weird neighbors' house decorations that have been adorning their own home, blown over by the wind.

"I really don't understand why we have to walk to Carl's house." Even though Grandpa Bernstein's house is really close to their neighborhood, grandpa doesn't live in the Manhattan house at this time.Moreover, who stipulates that you can't drive if you live nearby?They don't lack that little gas money!

Sabatino actually thought so too.

——This is really a couple with no romantic cells at all.

But Sabatino's father proposed the same process in the past. He took Elizabeth through places that were very important to him, like the neighborhood where he grew up, or the first time he met Eliza. The place where Bai Bian fell in love with her at first sight.

As far as Elizabeth herself said, it was really a very romantic thing.

Obviously, Sabatino referred to his mother's proposal.When he brought William to "press the road", he actually had another consideration: "My psychiatrist told me that the best way to overcome the psychological shadow is to face it bravely, and then tell yourself, look, what's the matter?" Neither will happen."

"I don't know if I should be surprised that you have a psychiatrist first, or that you have things to fear."

"You should be surprised by what I'm about to say." Sabatino said seriously.

Marriage seemed sacred to Sabatino, especially when he thought of marrying William.But Sabatino didn't want to deceive William, to the point where he didn't want to hide anything from William. He hoped that William would be willing to hold hands with him after knowing everything.

"Believe me, even if you tell me that you are an alien, I won't be surprised." William said seriously.He's already talking about interracial love for Sabatino, what else can't he accept?

Sabatino lowered his head and chuckled, wondering if he should be thankful that he has a lover who firmly believes in alien civilization and has a big brain hole?This really seemed to make what he was going to say next seem less difficult.

The streetlights stretched the shadows of the two of them very long, and the black shadows were intertwined, as if they would never be separated.
