Producer [American Entertainment]

William thought that Wheeler's son would get out of trouble after Lowe was lifted out.

Unexpectedly, although Wheeler's son is in a class enough for him to come into contact with the name "Roy", but because the IQ and other hardware configurations really can't keep up with the operation of the brain's CPU (the abbreviation is too stupid), he doesn't have a name at all. Pay attention to the importance of Lowe, a gold medal lawyer, to Microsoft.

On the spot, I stood up and said to William, if you go to court, you will go to court, who is afraid of who, it seems that only you can afford a lawyer!

"..." Even Mrs. Wheeler looked at her son with a despair of "this guy is definitely not my own".

Wheeler's son still doesn't understand what he did wrong, and he is still clamoring to take both Edward and William to court to make them feel better.His girlfriend with big breasts and no brains sat on the side, also showing unconditional support.

What could William and Edward say about this?Nothing more than "hehe".

Wheeler's daughter, also Edward's aunt, saw that the trouble was really not good, stood up to appease her mother, pulled her back to the chair and sat down again, and then she began to smooth things over, persuading Edward to give in (...).There are a lot of long stories, but the central meaning is only one, and the family ugliness should not be publicized. Isn't the father and son's lawsuit a joke for outsiders?

William and Edward have the same attitude towards this, absolutely unbearable, what kind of weird remarks are these? !

As a result, before William and Edward could speak, Mrs. Wheeler spoke first. She alone was enough to suppress her daughter who was not big-hearted but very narrow-minded: "He is not afraid of shame, so what is my grandson afraid of? I think my father's inheritance It’s not fair, it’s not Edward who brought his own son to court. Why would Edward give in for a ridiculous reason like ‘people’s words are terrible’? Is it because he is easier to bully?! Or are you also against your father? Is there any dissatisfaction with the distribution?"

"Mom, what are you talking about? Daddy's things belong to Daddy. He gives them to whomever he likes, and I don't lack them." Wheeler's daughter immediately fell in love. She had a trust set up by Wheeler since she was a child. Funds, her and her husband's work are also very lucrative industries, she doesn't care about money at all, she just pursues fame.

"Then shut up!" Wheeler's wife knew her daughter well, but she was so aggressive now, just because she was afraid that she would be confused for a while, and would stand by her brother's side and help him mess around.

Fortunately, the aunt said that she would not dare to touch the reputation of spying on her nephew's property.

The aunt's family withdrew from the war.

Mrs. Wheeler turned to look at her son: "What do you want your father's copyright for, tell me? Do you know how to make movies? Do you know the different meanings of various copyrights? Can you read copyright laws?"

Wheeler's son was even more dissatisfied when his mother said this: "I don't understand, but don't say it as if Edward understands too!"

"But at least he knows how to cherish it!" Mrs. Wheeler knew about Mr. Wheeler's will in advance and agreed with it.It's not that she doesn't love her son, but she thinks it's fair to give the cash and real estate to her son and the copyright to her grandson.She didn't want her short-sighted son to ruin her husband's life's hard work and reputation.

"In the final analysis, you are biased!" Wheeler's son was furious, and decided not to argue with his mother. He just hurriedly signed the confirmation of will, and slammed the door with his girlfriend. Before leaving, he still threatened William. , "I'll see you in court."

"I'm looking forward to it." Looking forward to seeing which law firm's lawyers are crazy to fight such a doomed lawsuit.

"You must not soften your heart and give in, understand?!" Mrs. Wheeler, who has always been gentle, finally showed the reason why even Wheeler dared not provoke her easily in the past. She said to Edward, "If you Tell me nonsense about 'whether it will make the dead sad', and I will beat you to death. If your grandfather is still alive, he will definitely support you to do this."

William nodded approvingly. The kind of person who can say things that make the dead sad is either a fool, or someone who can stand up and talk without back pain. If her legal rights are violated, it will definitely be bigger than anyone else. .

After talking about Edward, Mrs. Wheeler turned into a gentle grandmother again, and said to William solemnly, "I'll leave Edward to you, Will."

"Don't worry." William's back straightened even more unconsciously.

After all, Edward is a junior, so it is impossible for him to say too harsh words to his father in front of the media.William was different. He was Wheeler's disciple, and he was barely equal to Wheeler's son. Although there was an age gap, it didn't affect his face-to-face confrontation with him.

So in the next few days, following Wheeler's obituary in the newspapers and media, it was the big news that Wheeler's son threatened to sue Wheeler's grandson in court because of property issues.

All of Hollywood exploded.

In fact, every time a Hollywood celebrity dies, the biggest news is often not the funeral, but the subsequent inheritance turmoil. Every three days, various relatives and family members of that celebrity will go to the newspapers.The gossip people who worry about Hollywood circles are already familiar with this, but this is the first time that I will sue my own son to court.

Wheeler's daughter's family refused to be interviewed by the media, but asked a private lawyer to issue a notice to the media. The family is very satisfied with the estate they have allocated.

"The things my father left me, I value more the precious memories that are carried on this thing, and I am very satisfied with it." The face-saving aunt said in the announcement, and then she really got a bunch of what she expected The praise, can be regarded as seeking fame.

But as soon as these words came out, Wheeler's son, who expressed strong dissatisfaction with the distribution, was taken seriously by his sister.Translating the meaning of her words, isn't it saying that his son only seeks money blindly, and doesn't pay attention to the father-son relationship with his father at all.Angrily, he made countless harassing calls to his sister, and finally his sister simply refused to answer.

It's not over, it's just the beginning.

All of Wheeler’s former friends who were interviewed did not dare to say that they were on Edward’s side, but at least they all said: “Edward is a good boy, and Wheeler loves to take him with him wherever he goes.”

As for Wheeler's son... "I'm sorry, I don't know him very well, and I rarely see him around Wheeler, so I can't comment on it."

It is said to be impartial, but from a good boy and an unfamiliar sentence, it can be judged immediately.

"Friends like Wheeler are very interesting." Sabatino, who had just returned from China, read the newspaper and said.

William waved Wheeler's diary: "It's all due to Wheeler."

Before the old man passed away, he really paved everything.At the end of Wheeler's diary, it is filled with phone numbers that William can be contacted, and which page in which diary these people are mentioned in.Wheeler loves to keep a diary, and the writing is very detailed, including various discoveries and speculations about a person's interests and hobbies.

"That's Wheeler's greatest asset."

On the one hand, he can do the last bit of the teacher's friendship, and on the other hand, he can use this as a condition to let William help his grandson Edward protect his copyright.

Wheeler's "friends" are all celebrities in the industry who are about his age, and they have a deep understanding of "unfilial sons and grandchildren".So after William called, those who had friendship with Oscar and William before expressed their support without saying a word; those who had no friendship before also bluntly said that they would not help that bastard son of Wheeler.

Of course, some of them asked William to persuade Edward to stop, and it was really ugly to make such a fuss.

William's acting skills were overwhelming at that moment, and there were traces of the sad tiredness and distress in his voice, which fully interpreted the meaning of the word forced and helpless: "It's not that we don't want to stop, it's Edward's own father." Well, but...Mr. Wheeler just won't let go, no matter what we say, he's going to go to court."

"He's just messing around!"

"Who said it wasn't."

Of course, in order to convince these old men, besides being emotional, they also need to know the truth (there is no typo).

Most of Wheeler's friends are interested in VCD, and they only learned about the existence of this thing from Wheeler not long ago.During the one or two weeks before Wheeler passed away, he called all his old friends and talked about VCD in a showy tone, just like an ordinary old man like an old child, I Disciples honor me, do you have any?No, hahahahaha.

This back-and-forth management has led to the one-sided situation where everyone is on Edward's side.

"Wheeler has done a lot for Edward, and for me..."

"Don't let him down, that's what you can do for him." Sabatino comforted William with his arms around him, "Do the paparazzi outside need my help to clean up?"

William has been living in Beverly Hills for a while, and there are too many paparazzi outside, making it difficult for him to move.

Chapter 78 No. 70 Eight Days to Earth: I am finally going to be a local tyrant who has a piece of pie from the sky.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter, let's take it as a vacation." "007: Top Secret" is currently in theaters and the awards season has not yet started. The first profit and dividends have been remitted, so there is no need to pay attention At this stage, the new film William has not yet been planned, so it is relatively free at present, and there is no difference between being at home and going to MGM.

While talking, William suddenly felt blessed, and asked Sabatino eagerly, "Are you still busy recently? Are you almost done with the affairs in China?"

"Well, it's almost there." Sabatino said serious nonsense.

Mr. Special Assistant, who is far away in China at this time and has really started to learn how to cook authentic Chinese dishes, said, Huacha, how shameless?kindness?kindness?kindness? !Just throw me and the translator in China, where we are not familiar with, are you really a man?We agreed to go to District 11 for inspection together? !This is your plan, not mine! (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻ "Let's take a vacation at home? Beverly Hills in Los Angeles is also a very famous tourist attraction, isn't it?"

To be precise, these manors and villas on the mountain are private territories that countless tourists want to visit, but they can only drink their hatred.Every year, many people want to sneak up the mountain, but in the end they are defeated by the fierce eyes of community security.

The more William thought about it, the more he thought it was a good idea.

"It just happens to make up for the previous Italy, and I don't have to worry about not being able to bring marshmallows. Okay?"

"Good!" Must be good!William can say anything!As long as he can slightly divert William's grief over Wheeler's death, he can only rush to agree to whatever Sabatino can do.

To be honest, Sabatino's manor in Beverly, if it is open to the public, it can be marked as a national 5A-level tourist attraction.

The usable area of ​​the main building alone is a manor of [-] square feet. It has two gardens at the front and back, a tennis court, a small private movie theater, and enough parking lots.The underground is a large wine cellar with constant temperature, and a playground is built on the ground according to the terrain of the manor (God knows what the meaning of its existence is). The finishing touch is a heated and brightened swimming pool connected indoors and outdoors. From a distance, it will be as magnificent as wandering the Milky Way.

Let's put it this way, there are all the equipment that other Beverly mansions should have, and what other mansions don't have.The location is excellent, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with an extremely broad view and a wide up and down hill driveway. Standing on the roof specially used for viewing, you can almost have a bird's-eye view of the city of Los Angeles, and see all the signs of Hollywood.

Although William and Sabatino lived here for most of the year, they never enjoyed it very much. No matter how many rooms there are, only a few are used. This cannot but be said to be an absolute resource. waste.

"Is there any resort that would be better than this?" William looked at the endless mountains and said with emotion.

Sabatino is particularly unsightly to say, "Actually, I'm on a small island in the Western Pacific..."

"Shut up, I don't want to hear what you have to say!" William can fully imagine what Sabatino will say next. It is nothing more than that he has other properties with more complete and advanced facilities and more attractive scenery. This is not forced He hates the rich!

"If you like, I can give it to you." Sabatino insisted on finishing his sentence.

"..." William said to Sabatino from the bottom of his heart, "You are more prodigal than my father."

Just when they didn't know why they changed the topic to whether they should go for a swim in the pool, Sabatino got an urgent call that ruined all the vacation plans.

The first one to call was Elizabeth, who was always watching her son in case he did anything wrong: "You are very happy to hug, huh?"

"I'm just comforting him. Wheeler's death has actually had a great impact on Will. Although he doesn't say it, he still has time to comfort Edward. No, it seems that he is trying to make himself happy, but I know that his It’s not like this in my heart.” At this time, William’s state was exactly the same as that after his parents passed away. He wanted to make himself seem not to be deeply affected by it, and he didn’t want others to pity and comfort him, but the more he did this, the more he made Sabatino couldn't help wanting to hug him, to wipe away all his troubles and sorrows for him.

"Don't make excuses for yourself to take advantage of and eat tofu. This is the first warning and the last. Take care of yourself and don't force me to tell your grandfather the truth." Old Bernstein was not as easy-talking as Elizabeth, and the two He loves both of his grandsons, but he never relents when educating Sabatino ruthlessly, a typical iron-blooded education.

Old Bernstein has been planted on William all his life. Even Mary's mother was not completely pampered back then. If she really let everything go, Mary's mother would not have run away from home for several years without being found. ability.

After saying this, Elizabeth hung up the phone unceremoniously.

Just when Sabatino was talking on the phone, trying to calm down his anger, so that he could calmly find William who was waiting for him by the pool, a second call came in right away.

That would spell the end of the whole vacation plan.

It was Sabatino's secretary who called, and there was only one sentence: "It's done."

The special assistants, assistants, and secretaries around Sabatino are, without exaggeration, enough to form a reinforced platoon.Each has distinct responsibilities, like different precision parts in the same machine. Under the command of the master Sabatino, they do their own things step by step, but produce a magical effect of 1+1>2.

Between vacation and career, Sabatino hesitated for less than a second, and chose the latter without hesitation, because it was related to William's career.

Sabatino walked to the pool, tried not to let his eyes glance at William's naked body, but stood by the somewhat shadowed sliding door, and said to William: "I'm afraid your vacation is coming to an end, dear." Yes. The stylist and clothing consultant will be here soon, go change and get ready, and there will be a guest at home that you will definitely want to meet."

"Who?"

"Steven Spielberg."

Spielberg is now a well-known famous director, he and his friend George.The movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark" co-operated by Lucas was only released in June, and it has not been released yet. It is said that the film and television copyrights of several countries have been negotiated.That is exactly the box office target that "007: Top Secret" wants to exceed. Whoever wins will definitely be the box office champion in 1981. This is already a tacit thing for everyone.

Standing on the fitting table, William showed the effect of the clothes surrounded by everyone, and asked Sabatino who was sitting not far away: "Director Spielberg came to you to ask for investment? He started preparing for a new film so soon. movie?"

"To be precise, he came to you, hoping to win your investment."

"Me?" William was taken aback. Spielberg's movies have been real big productions in the past few years, and he has been getting along happily with Paramount, which has a vaguely leading position in Hollywood. This is the cornerstone of helping Paramount establish the industry leader One, why did he come to William?

"Well, he first contacted my friend in the music company..."

"Record company? Are you interested in record companies again recently?" William said that he and his friends were stunned, "Didn't you talk about District 11?"

While the VCD was operating, Sabatino was said to have also become interested in a certain industry that has recently emerged in District 11, but there are still many outsiders around, and William can only vaguely refer to it.In addition to the TV station that is still being negotiated, is Sabatino going to use himself as a superman?

"Oh, I got so excited with your friend Lennon that I bought a stake in a music company."

"..." William decided to give up asking when Sabatino and Lennon and his wife had a good talk again. It would be good to have a music company, and he would no longer have to worry about various music productions for movies in the future. Narrowed down, "So, who are your 'friends' at the music company?"

"His name is Sid. Scheinberg."

"Jews." William understood in seconds.Many Jews can tell their race from their surnames. For example, people whose surnames end with "Berg" and "Stan" are very likely to be Jews.

"Yes, family friends. Shane Berg's father and grandfather have some friendship, and he is friends with Spielberg. Many of Spielberg's movies are with his music company. Spielberg in There was an idea for a new movie when we were doing Raiders of the Lost Ark, and we were talking to Columbia, you know, another Hollywood mogul, but it didn’t work out.”

"So Spielberg found Shane Burne, and Shane Berg found you?"

"Yes, Mr. Scheinberg originally wanted to contact Universal, but how should I put it, is it better to find your own people or find your own people, isn't it?" Jews are really lonely sometimes, and they always love to be with their own people. Make friends in a small circle, "Scheinberg and Spielberg both feel that MGM United Artists, which has Jewish ancestry, is a better choice."

William nodded: "So, what does it have to do with me?"

"I talked to Shane Berger and Spielberg before, I'm not interested in movies, I bought MGM and United Artists, just because you are interested in making movies, so..."

"So they want to make Spielberg's new movie by motivating me to invest." William looked thoughtful. From a certain point of view, is he a person who can give others pie from the sky?

"I have a hunch that you'll like his new movie." Sabatino remembered that in his last life, Spielberg's upcoming movie called "ET" made William laugh every time he watched it, bringing him joy. There came endless joy.William didn't tell Sabatino why this was, but that didn't affect Sabatino at all to push it to William's eyes. William would be happier if he made the film himself.

William nodded and didn't ask any more, he trusted Sabatino's vision.

"By the way, remember to put on airs like you did when you went to MGM, don't look too excited."

"why?"

"Because now he is begging you to invest, he is trying his best to please you, hoping to impress you. My dear, you are like the high mountain flower that everyone is after. Don't let him think that you are easy to get, Otherwise, he wouldn’t know how to cherish it.” The real reason is that Sabatino wants to fight for the position of chief producer for William, rather than just being a vase that is only responsible for giving money.

"Your analogy is so strange." William smiled, but still nodded, agreeing to Sabatino. He is based on Sabatino in many things.

"What's the upper limit of investment I can promise them?"

"There is no limit, honey." With you, I will never have a limit.

William misunderstood what Sabatino meant, and asked curiously: "You are so confident in this movie?"

"Do you want to make a bet? It will become the No. [-] box office of Hollywood movies for a long time." Sabatino had a flash of inspiration, and wanted to take advantage of "ET" to get more benefits.

"I'm not going to bet with you." William said he wasn't fooled.How clever Sabatino is in "foreseeing the future" is already recognized, isn't it?

"..." My cousin felt a little frustrated.

So, when Spielbury and two friends, Shane Berg from the music company and screenwriter Melissa.Matheson, after they walked into the Lexembra Manor together, what they saw was William, who was dressed in British casual clothes and had a natural face that was not easy to impress.Theros.

William has become more and more proficient in switching freely between the two painting styles.

This not only did not dispel Spielberg's enthusiasm, but also stimulated his competitive spirit even more. The limited edition Swiss watch that William was wearing was enough to convince Spielberg that William absolutely had financial resources and It is very easy to realize his movie dream.

As long as he can impress him.
