Flowing fire in July, clothing in September.

According to the "Book of Songs", the weather in August has gradually cooled, summer has gone to autumn, and the hot summer has finally come to an end, but New York in August is still shrouded in a restless and sultry heat

You can't hear the cicadas, only the roar of the engine, you can't see the jungle, you can't see the crowds, you can't feel the heat wave, only the traffic...... However, the heat and boredom of the mood rolled in the sweat.

Between the people coming and going, the oily faces are full of the city's peculiar depression, and the footsteps of hurried passing by raise a cloud of dust, like a light wind swaying and swaying under the golden sun, and the shadows projected on the ground are long and densely overlapped, like a haze shrouded in the sky over the city, invisible but existing.

At this moment, how many people can really calm down, sit in an open-air coffee house on the side of the road, and enjoy a cup of coffee? Some people may say that rich people are rich, but the fact is that rich people will choose to sit in air-conditioned rooms and relax themselves, and only stylish people can sit in an open-air coffee house so neatly and pretentiously.

In many cases, the habits and manners of the aristocracy are indeed a kind of "disease", and there is no problem in describing it in this way, but this "disease" is precisely their last insistence. The ability to distinguish them from "ordinary people" has gradually become a part of what they are accustomed to.

Andre Hamilton pretended to be pondering, but his eyes were quietly looking at Lan Li opposite.

Lan Li is slowly tasting the coffee in his hand, the hot coffee is steaming, but Lan Li is like tasting a cup of hot tea in the cold winter, his face is full of contented leisure and comfort, although there is a faint sweat stain on his forehead, but he does not fall into the dilemma of sweating, that comfortable attitude, as if the heat of midsummer no longer exists.

Andre insisted and persisted, but after all, he couldn't help but lose, "I'm going in." "Instead of asking for Lan Li's consent, the final decision was announced.

After saying that, Andre ignored Lan Li, pulled out his rattan chair, and walked into the interior of the coffee house, seeking the coolness and comfort of the air-conditioned room, but Lan Li was still unhurried, and called the waiters, indicating that they would move indoors, and then entered the air-conditioned room unhurriedly.

Andre, who was sitting on the wooden bench, looked at Lan Li, who was slowly sitting down opposite him, and frowned incredulously, "Dear God, I can finally be sure that you are a Hall now." ”

"You mean, crazy or perverted?" Lan Li said with a smile, "You should know that I'm not actually qualified, I'm just up to the baseline. Alexander is the real etiquette, who is like you. ”

Alexander Hamilton, Andre's eldest brother and successor to the next Duke of Hamilton, has impeccable manners and demeanor;

The two brothers and both parents are very indulgent to him, Andre almost grew up like a sheepherd, there is no problem with basic etiquette, but it is always easy to make mistakes at critical moments, as if he was like this just now, and his cultivation is still not at home. However, because all the family members don't mind, Andre naturally doesn't mind.

Andrei spread out his hands, he had long been accustomed to such remarks, and smiled smugly. This is the real pride of the sky, there is no need to show off or pretend, everything is hidden in the bones and innate.

But then, Andre's smile fell, because he could see that Lan Li relaxed again, without the slightest anxiety or anxiety, which made Andre realize that all the disguises he had just made were recognized, "So, you're not worried at all?"

"Can my worries affect the outcome?" Lan Li asked rhetorically.

Andre grinded his teeth, "You know, you can." ”

"Then I'm starting to worry about it now. Lan Li said.

Andre rolled his eyes and tried to defend himself a few more words, but he was defeated in the end, it seemed that since they first met, he had never had the upper hand in front of Lan Li, "Why are you always the boss and we are always the followers?" Andre couldn't help but complain.

"Because you want to believe in me. Lan Li replied with a smile.

Andrei couldn't help but stop talking.

Such an answer is not only irrefutable, but also the hidden emotion is silently surging. Lan Li is always like this, even if he knows that he is joking or teasing, but he has a special temperament in his body, which makes people calm down and make people want to believe that he has been around him before he realizes it.

Dumbfounded, Andre shook his head lightly and returned to the main topic, "To be honest, you should know that as long as it is a work you recommend, as long as you are willing to be a producer, I am willing to invest." Now in all of Hollywood, you're the only person I can trust. So, there is no doubt about it, of course I am willing to invest. ”

"Andrey, business is business, friends are friends. You create a production company, obviously not for word of mouth, but for profit, and you should make a dispassionate judgment. Lan Li looked at Andre and said, "Of course, I hope that the work I recommend will be invested in by you, but you are more important than a film project." It's not easy to meet a few friends worth dating now. ”

At this time, the waiter brought in the coffee of the two people.

Lan Li smiled at the waiter and thanked him, then picked up the coffee cup again and savored it.

Andre was slightly stunned, laughed loudly, and couldn't help but start complaining, "This set doesn't work for me." You're supposed to have done the same thing you did with Eton, right? ”

Lan Li was noncommittal.

Andre was speechless again, and finally could only shake his head depressedly, "Let's get back to work, this work, how much do you think the investment cost is appropriate?"

Today, Lan Li and Andre met for the "Nightcrawler" project.

After Lan Li briefly explained the framework and basic content of the whole project, Andre put on a thoughtful posture, originally, he wanted to deliberately hang Lan Li's appetite, looking forward to seeing Lan Li's further efforts to lobby him, after all, such an opportunity is really rare.

But I didn't expect that Lan Li was calm and relaxed.

So, the above scene happened, and after all, Andrei was not able to calm down.

In the face of Andre's final "disarming and surrendering", although this was the result that Lan Li was expecting, and he also expected it, Andrei's such a refreshing and direct reaction still made Lan Li raise his eyebrows slightly

Although Gilroy has no directing experience and is not a top screenwriter, he still has a lot of contacts and resources in the industry, but "Nightcrawler" has not been able to find investors until now, which is for objective reasons.

Now, Andre didn't hesitate at all, just because of Lan Li, he simply nodded neatly. Lan Li's feeling is still different after all.

However, Lan Li and Andre don't need the mutual politeness of their mother-in-law, this was the case with the original "one-man concert", and the same was true for the previous "Burst Drummer".

So, Lan Li bowed his head lightly and said his thoughts directly without politeness, "Specifically, I'm not sure, it still depends on the director's plan for the whole project, but this project is definitely more magnificent than the burst drummer, the cast, shooting location, shooting props, etc., all of which are on a larger scale." ”

"I estimate that it might take five million, not more than ten million at most. If you want, you can find a producer you are familiar with and evaluate it in detail. Lan Li concluded that this aspect is not his strong point after all, and the opinions he can give are really limited.

Five million to ten million, which is not a small number for an independent film. But Andre didn't frown, these numbers were just a series of numbers for him, and they didn't have much practical meaning, "Do you think if I ask Matthew to come over and help calculate some numbers, will he be okay?"

"Matthew?" Lan Li thought for a moment, "You can give it a try, he's still very good at numbers." However, Matthew still knows too little about the operation of capital in Hollywood, if you can, you should look for an accountant who is familiar with the industry, and then meet with Matthew and talk in detail, and the idea will be much clearer. ”

"I see. Because "Burst Drummer" has not yet been released, Andre can't make a horizontal comparison on his own, so he needs more professional advice now, "If you are looking for Matthew, you still need to tell him, Matthew's stinky temper, no one else buys it except you." I promise, not to disturb his working hours. ”

"Ha, I refuse. Disturb the rhythm of Matthew's work, and I will be disciplined too. Lan Li laughed heartily.

Andre looked at Lan Li speechlessly, and then said in a scoundrel manner, "I don't care, I'll just say, this is your project." You have to name the producer, otherwise, I will never take over. ”

"Won't take over anything?" As he spoke, the waiter led a figure over again, and the person who came did not pause or estrange, and directly cut into the conversation, such an "impolite" behavior, but Lan Li and Andre didn't care, and didn't even look up, and then the familiar Eton Dormo had already sat down.

"Why did you call him over? Are you sure he's not late?"

"No, I deliberately asked him to delay coming by half an hour. I think maybe half an hour will be enough to get you. Lan Li said with a smile.

Andrei was full of black lines.

After Eton's coffee ordering, he seamlessly joined the conversation, "What half an hour is enough?"

Lan Li said, get you, half an hour is enough. Andrei turned his head and said with a gloating expression.

Eaton didn't mind, "Half an hour? no, one minute is enough." ”
