Chapter 60: The Superintendent's Conspiracy

"Thank you so much, Walter, I'm going to do my best to make this movie a good one. Lucas clenched Walter's hand excitedly, his eyes shining brightly, presumably excited about the first film he was going to direct.

"No, no, no, this is what you should have. After a pause, Walter continued: "By the way, if you have any difficulties, you can feel free to come to me, and I will do my best to help you." ”

"Okay, you're a nice guy, Walter!" Lucas smiled at Walter and winked at him.

"Yes, everybody says that, but I'm talking to women, not men. Walter replied, although he knew that Lucas was just a joke as a partner, but he still couldn't help but make him chrysanthemum, after all, this is a gay copulation film, which can be played in some theaters where only adults can enter, even if Lucas is not gay, it makes him a little unbearable.

The elevator slowly opened, and Lucas immediately walked into the elevator and said to Walter, "Goodbye, see you on the day of casting!"

"Okay!"

In the distance, David James, who had just walked out of the office, saw Walter and a man talking happily outside the elevator, his face was puzzled, and then he walked back to the office and dialed the landline on his desk.

"Hey, Molly?" said David James first.

"Yes, Mr. James, I'm Molly. ”

"Come to my office and come in directly. ”

"Oh, okay. ”

Just wanted to hang up, thinking of something, James hurriedly reminded: "Don't let Walter see it when you come, I'm sure you'll understand what I mean." ”

"Okay, I see. There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds, followed by a woman's firm voice.

Hanging up the phone, James sat down on his desk, tapping his fingers on the table, apparently anxiously waiting for Molly. Finally, after the office door was knocked open with two knocks, Molly's uniformed figure appeared in front of James.

"Hello, Mr. James, is there anything I can do?" Molly said directly, she could naturally guess the disagreement between the director and the deputy director of the live-action film production department, although she didn't know what kind of relationship Walter had with Director Roy, but she still knew a lot about the relationship between James and Director Miller, after all, James had been her leader for a long time.

"Who were Walter talking to just now? What were they talking about?" James glanced at his former subordinates and asked directly, he was not afraid that this woman would not confess, after all, he had carefully chosen Molly to become Walter's secretary in the first place, and this woman who knew the proportions would definitely reveal what she knew.

Sure enough, Molly was silent for a few seconds, and then replied, "Walter was just talking to a gentleman named George Lucas about making a new movie. ”

"George Lucas?new movie?"

"Yes, Mr. Lucas had a close relationship with Francis Ford Coppola, and for filming "Five Hundred Years Later", the director who mentored him praised him as a director. ”

Hearing this, James' eyes lit up, and he continued to ask, "What about the movie? What is the movie they are going to make?"

According to Mr. Lucas, the film he was going to make seemed to be a film about urban love life, about the lives of young men and women, because I hadn't seen the script and didn't know very well. ”

"What is Walter trying to do? That Chinese film has not been solved, and now he wants to invest in making a new film? Is he serious about investing?"

After saying that, James had already picked up the landline and was ready to report to Miller, and now the only person who could convince the board to make them have a bad impression of Walter was Miller, but it was a pity that the one who would not help him continue to expel Walter from the board for the time being unless he found favorable evidence.

After hearing that the movie invested by Walter was made by a young director who was evaluated by a big director and had a good evaluation, although he had never met Lucas, James was nervous in his heart, until he heard that this time he was going to shoot a very popular urban drama, and he couldn't help it anymore. Because with his intuition, the film is sure to do well at the box office, which is obviously very bad for James, so he has to find some way to stop it.

Although Miller doesn't want to target Walter for the time being, and wants to wait for Walter to wait until he is completely finished filming the movie, and then clean him up, but Miller can wait, but he can't. After all, Walter is now competing with him for the dominant position in the live-action film production department, if Walter really relies on the movie and gains a firm foothold, this is extremely unfavorable to him, so Miller can afford to wait, but he James can't afford to wait, he must find a way to drive this recently restless guy out of the live-action film production department in advance, because this is his territory, and no one else is allowed to intervene.

"That, that...... Mr. James, the cost of the film that Walter just invested in was only a million dollars. Molly saw James so aggressive, dragged on for a long time, and finally spoke up.

"A million? That's a lot? What? You're not mistaken? It's only a million?"

James said incoherently, he felt as if he had misheard something, Walter had invested another million dollars, what did he think? The young director who even made "The Godfather" Coppola, who was so much praised, was only willing to spend a million dollars to invest? Is it possible to make a small-budget film and stage it?

All kinds of thoughts flashed in James's mind, and he soon dismissed the idea of reporting to Miller, after all, it was only an investment of one million dollars, and the other party was not the yellow man who didn't prove himself in Hollywood, but a young director who was really praised by a big director, even if he wanted to find another name to get the board to expel Walter.

Then, James sat back in his place in frustration, waved Molly away, and said, "Remember your identity, Walter is just an outsider after all, and our live-action film production department is only a director of Miller, so you must tell me any new news." ”

"Understood, Mr. James!" Molly nodded, then turned to leave James' office.

The office soon fell silent, except for the sound of director James tapping his fingers on the table, and it was clear that the director, who was very unhappy with Walter's entry into the live-action film production department, was thinking about some unknown conspiracy in his heart.
