"No, no, Shepard, I think you're wrong, Kim and I are just close friends, not boyfriends and friends as you call them...... Do you understand?"

Walter corrected Shepard's mistake in a tactful tone, and of course, his somewhat devouring gaze clearly revealed the truth of the words in his mouth.

"Is that true?" Shepard blinked, his eyes glaring, his eyes revealing a myriad of meanings.

"Of course, why do you think I'm lying?" said Walter, whistling, and chuckled very flirtatiously, then took two glasses of champagne from the wine table in the hall behind him, and took one of them and handed it to Shepard.

"Thanks, you're such a gentleman. Shepard thanked sweetly, but as soon as the words came out, her face changed, the reason was very simple, after taking over the champagne glass, she obviously felt that the man in front of her was above her tiger's mouth, a shallow slide, and then looked at the inexplicable meaning in Walter's eyes, she had been in the entertainment industry for many years, and immediately guessed what the other party meant.

I saw that Shepard smiled indifferently: "I really hope to have more cooperation with you, if there is a better role for me, I hope you can consider me, I will definitely do my best......

After speaking, she took out the champagne glass in her hand, took the initiative to collide with the glass in Walter's hand, and made a light "bang" sound, and took the initiative to sip it first.

"Okay, I will. Walter replied with a wicked smile and drank as well.

At the same time, I am also sighing in my heart, what a smart woman, she knows how to give, think about it, but here in Hollywood, she can survive in this circle earlier, without interpretation, how many people can be famous for breaking the rules?

Thank God for being reborn into this era, after his first film appeared at such a gratifying box office, more and more people will move closer to him, Shepard can't be the last.

Of course, if it was usual, Walter would have taken Shepard to a secluded place immediately for a sacred bodily fluid exchange ceremony, but now it is obvious that today's celebration reception, he, the main party, would not be able to leave the venue easily.

No, he was still gossiping with Shepard, and Lucas came over to say hello, with Mike and some others by his side, and Walter could only say goodbye to this sweet and lovely person next to him for a while, and then go and talk to Lucas.

"Thank you so much, Walter, I really didn't know that my film would have achieved such a result today, and I really didn't know if it wasn't for your help in the first place...... I ......" may be a little too excited to see the main character, Lucas seems to speak a little incoherently, because at this moment, the celebration of the movie has already been held, but he still doesn't think that what Walter said to him more than four months ago will really come true!

After all, Lucas was looking for investment in "American Painting", but after twists and turns, many Hollywood studios rejected him, and even after a while, even he himself was a little unoptimistic about his movie.

However, after this release, the box office of the movie directly exceeded 100 million, which is undoubtedly a ray of light through the darkness for a young and cutting-edge director like Lucas, after this movie, he obviously will not stop at the current film situation, and even the sci-fi film that Walter has already told him to invest in has also entered his plan.

It's just a pity that when discussing the investment with Walter for the first time, the other party was very adamant that Disney would invest in the film in full, and resolutely did not let his Lucasfilm participate in the investment, otherwise if he could participate in the investment, he should not only be the director dividend income of several million dollars.

However, the most interesting thing is that Walter, a producer who has never allowed his film company to participate in the investment, actually privately invested $200,000 in his own Lucasfilm as a fund to support his research technology in the production of foolish special effects in the film "American Painting", which has not been able to achieve the desired effect......

What a weirdo......

"You deserve it, George, don't forget what I once said to you, trust me, my prophecy has never been missed, you will definitely be the best director!"

"I ...... I ......" was another sentence, and Lucas stopped when he heard it, not knowing how to thank him. At this moment, it was as if he was back in the Cowell bar, where he was working on his dream of a movie that he didn't know how it would end out in a bar that was very literary and inspiring. During that time, he didn't hesitate to give himself a contract for a million dollars in production costs when they met for the first time, and then told himself in that bar that he would definitely become the best director, which really made him feel uncomfortable.

"Okay, George, do you want us to listen to your bitter success story on this good day? You must know that this is not the inspirational propaganda of the American Dream, but the celebration of the box office of "American Painting" over 100 million. ”

Mike, who was beside Lucas, saw him squirming so much, so he naturally didn't want Lucas to waste everyone's time here, so he hurriedly joked and played a round, and then said to Walter: "Walter, you are the protagonist other than George today, and everyone present wants to know you." ”

"Yes! Yes!"

"That's right!"

……

Several high-level executives from other Disney departments around them echoed one after another, and even Roy, who came together, kept nodding his head. After all, the box office hit of "American Painting" is a foregone conclusion, and no matter how Disney's internal executives forcibly insert Walter into other departments for Roy, but Walter's position has been solidified, and others want to raise objections, so they will invest in a low-cost production and a movie with a box office of over 100 million.

"Come on, Mike, I was just lucky, I just stumbled into it, the main character today is completely George, after all, without him, there would be no such wonderful movie as American Painting. ”

"Well, I was wrong. Mike admitted his mistake and continued: "By the way, there are a lot of people here today, come, I'll take you to meet a few people." ”

After speaking, Mike pointed to a middle-aged man with a black beard and black-rimmed glasses next to him and said, "This is the director of "The Godfather" that you have always admired, Francis Ford Coppola......"
