Andre Hamilton is different from Ranley Hall and other friends, from childhood to adulthood, he was used to being pampered and raised, the standard definition of "gentleman" is used to describe him, and even it is no problem to describe it as domineering, as long as he wants his wishes, he has never been disappointed, even Arthur Hall is far from comparable After all, Hamilton is a hereditary duke, and André inherited the Dahlmore distillery early.

Andrei is the real nobleman.

In André's life, the objects of true admiration could be counted on one hand, Alexander Hamilton, who was about to succeed to the sixteenth Duke of Hamilton, was his eldest brother and could be counted as one, and Lan Li could be counted as another

It's not just the pranks during his studies at Eton College, it's not just Lan Li's obsession with dreams and beliefs, it's more about Lan Li's vision and insight, as if he has gone through the vicissitudes of the world, which is the pinnacle that he will never be able to catch up. Even Alexander was hard to match when he stood in front of Lan Li.

So far, what Lan Li hopes to accomplish has never failed. Never.

When Lan Li finally decided to show his strength in Hollywood, Andre couldn't help but start gearing up, and Sisyphus Pictures was finally about to set sail.

Andre raised the whiskey in his hand, his narrow eyes flowed with a faint light, and a touch of sassy and sharp sharpness slipped between his eyebrows. The youngest son of the Hamilton family, who had never bowed his head to anyone in the British Isles, was now the Duke's beloved son on the verge of making his official foray into Hollywood.

"I fulfilled my promise, then, what about you?"

Andre raised his eyebrows, his high-spirited and wanton appearance, unconsciously showing a condescending posture, no matter who was standing in front of him, even the top of the pyramid who was one level higher than Tom Bernard could still feel the powerful momentum.

It's like when Chris Evans appeared in front of Ranley Hall and Matthew Dunlop, it was a look down on the class gap. Deep into the bone marrow gap.

The ancients often said that the door is right. Although in modern society, classes are being broken, and the "family pair" is also regarded as a decadent and backward old concept; for the real scholarly families and hereditary nobles, the so-called "family pairs" still have universal significance, not specifically referring to money or property, but referring to the culture, upbringing, etiquette, three views, and so on.

Now Tom Bernard clearly felt the disparity, he felt offended, but he was unable to resist or unwilling to resist, because Andre's level was exactly what he wanted to achieve, and it was precisely the manifestation of his usual position of power as a superior man. He understood what Andre meant, Sisyphus's private equity fund was ready and ready to go, and now it was up to Sony's classic attitude.

"What's the first number?" Tom blurted out before he regretted it, because the question was too blunt and too superficial, and it was just showing his timidity.

Andre raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was a hint of banter in his eyes, just one look made Tom embarrassed, but fortunately, Andre did not continue to make things difficult for Tom, but simply gave the answer, "Nine figures." There are about three 'gravity'. ”

That's ...... $300 million.

Thomas Tours started with 50 million, and now Andre starts with 300 million.

The further difference is that Tours used all his strength to earn a start, while Andre easily accomplished the goal with just his own name, and the gap between the starting line was too big, and Tours spent two years to prepare, while Andre only took two weeks.

Tom's temples throbbed faintly. For film production companies such as Legendary Pictures or Sisyphus Films, which are based on private equity funds, it is absolutely important not to only look at the first fund, but to see the credibility and appeal of the creator through this fund.

What's more, the investment in each work is not fully paid for by Sisyphus Films, and the partner company also needs to bear 30% to 60% of the cost. This is true of Legendary Pictures' successive collaborations with Warner Bros. and Universal Pictures, and now the same is true of the partners that Sisyphus Pictures is seeking.

This also means that the $300 million raised by Andre can exert at least $400 million to $600 million.

Even a bigwig of Tom's caliber is a little dry-mouthed: how much uproar will Hollywood have if this news gets out?

Just look at Legendary Pictures to see that Thomas Toole left Warner Bros. on the front foot and received an olive branch from at least three top film studios on the back foot. The more top-tier movie studios are, the greater the amount of liquidity on their books, and even a deep-pocketed crocodile like Warner Bros. would never dislike having more flexible money.

On the other hand, why is Thomas Toole able to have such a strong voice, to stand up to Kevin Hara and to Lang Meyer?

Tom can be sure that once Andre releases the news, the whole of Hollywood will be reshuffled, Universal Pictures may change its position on the spot, and Disney and Warner Bros. will definitely not let up easily, and now ......

"I fulfilled my promise, then, what about you?"

Tom's ears once again echoed Andre's meaningful words, the subtext is that now it is the turn of Sony Classic Pictures to show its sincerity, the problem is that Tom can make a decision on the spot with such a blockbuster cooperation, but he still hopes that Sony Columbia Pictures can participate in it and get a piece of the pie, otherwise it would be absolutely too wasteful to just rely on Sony Classics to make independent art films.

It would be bad if Sony Colombia missed the opportunity and were beaten by the other contenders.

Tom's reaction was only half a beat slower, and Andre had already realized it, as if he could see through Tom's inner thoughts at a glance, and there was a hint of amusement in the depths of his eyes again.

Friends who really know Lan Li know that he never fights unprepared battles, just look at the preparations he made in the crew for the sake of performance, and once he gets serious, then this war really begins.

Andre's part is just the first wave of Sisyphus Films, Arthur Hall, Eton Dormer are still in London, and even Matthew Dunlop has used his connections to alarm Henry Dunlop, and Henry has called Andre specifically to ask for details.

Andre was a little curious, if these Hollywood bigwigs learned the whole blueprint of Lan Li, what would be their reaction? But when you think about it, the conclusion is really too simple, so that Andre starts to get bored again.

"You have forty-eight hours to think about it. André didn't wait for Tom's answer, and finished cleanly, then smiled at Tom, nodded his head, and turned away.

Tom's footsteps froze in place, a little choked. He always felt as if something big was about to happen, but now that he was in it, he couldn't condescendingly peek into the overall situation, he could only faintly capture some details, and he could clearly feel that something was wrong, but he couldn't say why, this feeling was really complicated, some anxious, some expectation, and some apprehension.

He needed to make a few phone calls.

……

The Golden Globe Awards ceremony is gradually approaching, the craze of the awards season is reaching its peak step by step, the whole of Hollywood is surging, and the major film companies are working together, and the final stage of the sprint towards the Oscars is about to be announced.

And hidden behind this turbulent wave, but quietly appeared another undercurrent is surging, mixed in the college public relations news one after another, true and false, false and real, some people can keenly catch some clues, while more people take it for granted that "it is just a college public relations essay".

In any era and in any society, news is a vital source of power, just as those isolated mountainous areas are bound to lag behind the development of the times. Even Hollywood is no exception.

Warner Bros. knew, Disney knew, Sony Columbia knew, but Universal was kept in the dark. As for Twentieth Century Fox and Paramount, they are still struggling, and no one cares if they know or not.

Steven Spielberg, Harvey Weinstein, Jerry Bruckheimer and other top bigwigs in the industry have smelled the smell of the mountain rain coming and the wind is full of buildings, and they can faintly feel the flow of abnormal breath between top directors, top producers, and top actors, but they are all secretive.

Chess games are like this, some people can only see one or three moves, some people can see ten or even fifteen moves, if you can't see it, you can't see it, even if someone helps explain it, you can't see it, as for the confrontation of those masters, then you have to look at the calculation power and layout ability.

Thomas Toure could vaguely detect the anomaly, but no one was willing to tell him openly, and Vin Diesel was even more unaware of the anomaly, still thinking about how he should seize the opportunity to expand his network when he attended the Golden Globes, and take advantage of Paul Walker's still being bedridden to create more positive reputations for himself.

Andy Rogers is now more busy than ever, completely with no feet touching the ground, not to mention the top agents of innovative artist agencies, even Roy Lockley has temporarily come to help, flying around the major cities of the entire North American continent, with Sisyphus Pictures as the center to complete this layout.

It's a net that doesn't seem to leave any breathing and escape space at all.
