Chapter 33: Returning Home
Marissa is gone, it seems that the exhaustion of being ravaged by Andy all night has not had the slightest effect, it seems that fame and fortune are really the best ~ exhibition~ medicine. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
I called Blair of the game company and asked about the company's situation and the development progress of the game, for a period of time, Andy has been inquiring by phone, although he can't go to work every day, but he won't ignore it, after all, this is his pillar industry, but now the smartphone has not yet been born, and there is still time to develop it slowly.
After reading the time, it was only more than 10 o'clock in the morning, Andy was a little bored, and called Carl again, asking about the ticket purchase and flight time, as for the release of his novel, Andy did not ask, after all, he believed in Carl's ability, this stingy and treacherous fat man will not let go of any opportunity to make money, it is really the best choice for the nursing home.
"Inception" has been handed over to Scholastic Publishing House, but now the publishing house is vigorously promoting and promoting "The Hunger Games", for Andy's new book after communicating with Carl, it was suppressed, in just a few months, three novels were published in a row, and the intensity of publicity and sales will be affected, for which Andy is also very clear, but he still requires that "Inception" must be published in the second half of the year.
He needs to get "Inception" to the big screen as soon as possible, which is the most important part of his value in Hollywood, whether it is the Golden Globe Award or the Oscar screenwriting award is coveted by him.
This time I went back to New York, in addition to going home to visit my parents, participating in the performance of "Saturday Night Live", and brushing up on TV, the most important thing was to lay out the subprime mortgage crisis.
The financial circle of Wall Street in New York is Andy's main goal when he returns to New York this time, as for the time when the crisis appears, he will directly use the knife and speculate on the index with leverage, which is an act of death, although he is a traverser, but he only knows the approximate time of the subprime mortgage crisis, and he doesn't know the rise and fall of the stock index, so he directly throws money to speculate on the stock index or something.
He wants to make money but doesn't want to rush to the front, because this is cutting the flesh of all securities companies and investment banks, from credit rating agencies to financial regulators to government tax departments, regardless of whether he wants to die, which is idiotic behavior.
He knew very well that before the subprime mortgage crisis, there were several financial geniuses on Wall Street who saw the outbreak of the crisis and laid out the short market, and all Andy needed to do was to follow these people and make a fortune, even if the profits could not reach the maximum benefit, it was better than being remembered by those cold-blooded bankers.
Taking out his laptop, Andy connected to the Internet, opened Google, checked Apple's stock price, looked at the rising stock price, and was very satisfied.
After browsing the international news, maintaining his own blog and the recently opened Twitter, he started to code, the story of the second book of "Dark Fairy Tales" Andy has decided to start with "Pan's Labyrinth", and then use "Alice in Wonderland" 1,2 to dilute some of the violence and gore in Pan's story, after all, the atmosphere of Pan's story is a bit depressing, and there are a lot of dead.
The only thing that makes Andy a little crazy is that some of the characters in Pan's Labyrinth movie version show a bit of an anxious IQ, and some of the dialogues seem a little naïve, although it is a fairy tale, the protagonist is also a little girl, and it is normal to be naïve, but if it becomes a novel, it needs to be modified by Andy, after all, the main readership of this kind of dark novel is teenagers.
Entering the code word state, the time passed quickly, until Joseph reminded Andy to wake up from the code word super god state, stood up and moved a little stiff body, because the woman has not exercised for two days, which has interrupted the habits he has formed for several months, and he is still a little uncomfortable.
After lunch, after a short rest, I received a call from Carl, packed my luggage, carefully checked the room for missing things, and then went downstairs to meet Carl and go straight to Los Angeles Airport.
"Which airline did you choose?" asked Andy, leaning back on the saddle and closing his eyes.
"Delta Air Lines, the hardware and service of this one are very good, hehe, it's just that the quality of the flight attendants is a little worse, mainly because they are too old, but then again, Andy, these two days are good. Carl stopped looking at the papers, looked at Andy with his eyes closed, and laughed obscenely.
"Okay, by the way, I left your phone number for Brooklyn Deike, she wants to make a movie, if you can help, help. Andy was teased by Carl and remembered Brooklyn's young, plump body.
"Why, do you still want to come with her?" Karl asked a little speechless when he heard Andy's words, "It's okay for them to have fun with these models, you don't want to get emotional." ”
"Hehe, how can it be, the main thing is that I can't do the ruthless thing of pulling birds, I can help, I still have to have a good reputation for this kind of thing, and I don't have to worry about no one to play with. Andy told Carl the truth, and without the slightest concern, he said his dirty thoughts.
"Hehe, too. Once they label a person, it will quickly spread throughout the circle, no wonder you and Marisa Miller are so generous on the street that you are cheaper than that woman. Carl touched his fat chin and smiled obscenely.
"What is cheap or not, everyone takes what they need, so that they will not be embarrassed to get along with each other, it is still necessary to maintain this long-term ***, I don't want to need a woman anymore I can only find **** This is a solution. Andy complained angrily that this is related to his future happy life.
"Hehe, then you have to be careful, these women are not so peaceful. Carl reminded.
"It doesn't matter, it's nothing more than fame and fortune, I'm still willing to spend some money on women, as for fame, I can help within the scope of my ability, and there is no need to go beyond the scope, and the women I can get in touch with now are women at this level, which I know very well. The corners of Andy's mouth twitched, he was still very self-aware of himself, he didn't want to be emotionally involved and just wanted to play, so he naturally had to understand the scope he could grasp.
"That's not it, your fame is not low now, although you can't reach the national fame, but the popularity in the big city can still be guaranteed, after all, you still have the title of a young billionaire, and the charm of money is still great. Carl retorted a little unimpressed by Andy's statement that he had a little inferiority.
"Don't comfort me, I'm well aware of the current situation, maybe I won't be able to stand in Hollywood until "The Hunger Games" is all published and moved to the big screen or "Inception" is adapted into a movie, and you should be very aware of this, and my real focus is on games, and I won't have as much time to write novels as I do now, I hope you can understand. Andy told Carl what to focus on for the future.
Carl was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said: "That's okay, it's too expensive to be a game company, you have to think clearly, originally you bought a game company, I thought you were just playing, if it's a career, I still hope you think about it carefully before making a decision, our copyright company is now famous, and you must not give up halfway." ”
"I didn't say I wouldn't write anymore, rest assured, the copyright company is the foundation of my future career, but I won't publish novels as continuously as I do now. By the way, what's going on with the rights talk about The Voice?"
"The negotiation was not very smooth, mainly because the price was not negotiated, the other party thought that our price was too high, and what they wanted was basically the copyright of a large area. Carl introduced Andy with a frown.
"The price can be lowered, and if you have a large area, you can give it to them, but we have to charge a copyright fee for every country that buys the copyright, and we must insist on this, tell them that the most profitable part of this kind of talent show is advertising revenue, let them think about it clearly, if the price is high, then let them all go." Andy thought for a moment and said resolutely.
"Got it... Karl nodded.
Los Angeles International Airport.
It takes 6 hours to fly from Los Angeles to New York, Andy adjusted the plane seat, put on an eye mask and fell asleep, although it was not the first time to take a plane, but it was the first time to sit in business class, with a large space, which allowed him to stretch his body, after all, his height has now reached more than 190 cm. As for the first class, Andy thinks that he can't be so luxurious, after all, most of his American knives are in the stock market, and the rest has its own place, leaving millions of dollars for his own expenses, and it is not the time to enjoy it to the fullest.
Perhaps because of the indulgence of these two days, he slept in New York, and under the reminder of the flight attendant, Carl woke up Andy, and the sleepy-eyed Andy saw through the window that it was already dark, perhaps because of his hometown timidity, waiting for the plane to land with a little apprehension and entanglement.
John F. Kennedy International Airport is located in Queens, about 15 kilometers from downtown Manhattan.
As the group walked out of the airport through the business-class aisle, Andy looked around with complicated eyes, and this was where he grew up.
"Andy, Mr. Auston has come here. Carl saw Auston Smith stepping out of a Mercedes Benz and whispered a reminder to Andy, who was a little stunned.
Andy saw the middle-aged man standing next to the car in the distance, and his mood at this moment was very complicated and a little flustered.
Clenched his fists tightly and let go, taking a deep breath, he knew that he would have to face it after all, whether it was his parents and relatives in this life or his friends here. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and with a smile, he walked up quickly.
Carl was a little stunned, Andy's unnatural expression that flashed just now made him a little worried, after all, he knew that because Andy decided to go to Hollywood, he and his father were a little stiff, but in the end, he was a little relieved to see Andy's smile, after all, it was family, father and son. The fat face also showed a relieved smile, seeing that Andy was really mature.
