The cottage was built, and Alice bought it all at once with the surrounding ten acres of land. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoA 10,000-square-foot, three-story wooden house with more than 100 yards of open land in front and a lush forest in the background. In such a vast area, both on the surface and underground, everything belongs to her.

As for the price, a little loan, a credit card, a few million dollars is not a big deal.

The rumbling sound roared, the Hummer was already on its way home, and the traffic on Route 2 was sparse, and Alice relaxed the window open, enjoying the excitement of the February wind.

"The basement is the size of four basketball courts, and the all-concrete structure allows us to build a processing plant underground when I hire workers to lay the relevant electrical, water and gas lines. Including the time for the purchase of chemical equipment, the entire project will be completed in June. ”

"And where are you going to recruit workers from?"

Maiya watched a car pass by him: "Relevant channels, you only have that Tuke, do you want to recruit him to work for you?"

"Leave that to Ducky. ”

Alice put her arms on the window of the car, squinted her eyes, and looked at the forest whistling outside the car: "The most important thing in Roanapura is people with channels, and with Daqi's ability, it will take three or four months to gain a firm foothold there." By the time I've finished building the chemical plant, he'll be able to find me some great chemists. ”

"...... of U.S. companies registered in Thailand"

Maiya muttered: "It is true that a lot of trouble can be avoided, and the number of people in this kind of company is not large, and the core wealth is not so much people, but actually concentrated in the channels it has." There are a lot of ports in Thailand, and it will be easy to send people by sea by ocean-going freighter, even if other goods are ......"

In other words, Black Reef's apparent business is ship transportation, which is completely consistent with the plan given to Daqi, which can help with this matter until now. ”

As he spoke, the Humvee had already driven out of the depths of the mountains, just past the edge of the compound where the aerodynamics laboratory was located. Looking down from the hill, almost the entire city of Los Angeles can be seen, only to see that in the distance of this vast, chessboard-like layout of the flat city, dozens of skyscrapers stand straight up, which is the CBD core area of Los Angeles.

"So, just wait for that. ”

Alice looked at the characteristic landscape of Panshan Road with a smile: "Microsoft will go public in March, and it will only take half a month for me to get the first advance dividend." With this money, there is so much that can be done~"

Maiya glanced down the hill, West Hollywood would only be a few miles away, and even the Burbank Airport could be seen directly: "Open your mouth and shut up, what you said is next month, let's take a look at the present, your new movie is released." ”

"Oh, yes. ”

A just right turn for Alice to look into the city: "Speaking of which, when DreamWorks expands a little more, let it move." ”

Maiya's expression moved: "What do you say?"

On the mountainside overlooking the junction of downtown Burbank and Los Angeles, Alice smiled softly, "Hollywood Studios is here, Disney and Universal are all here, how can we still stick to the south of Sunset Boulevard?

Following Alice's fingers, Maiya looked out the window, "Zoo?"

"That's right, there's the overpass interchange, I'll talk to Uncle Roger when I go back, and let him move the company next door to the zoo~"

It was the "throat" of downtown Los Angeles to Burbank, and the northwest-west turn of the highway was sharply turned, and the car was so close that Maiya could see it clearly, and there were only some ordinary one-story factories around.

"Oh, that's up to you. ”

As to why Alice was able to persuade Lawrence to move, Maiya had no doubts at all.

Isn't Microsoft's first dividend after going public more than enough to invest in DreamWorks?

From the original technology shareholder, who received about 20% of the box office share, to the major shareholder who actually invested in capital......

Thinking of this, Maiya frowned, and the speed of the car subconsciously slowed down.

In this way, isn't Mr. Lawrence a part-time job for Alice?

"Really, really......

Smiling silently, Maiya glanced at Alice, who was still looking at the scenery, and stepped on the accelerator hard.

In other words, as soon as February arrived, "Invasion of Brain Cells", which had been preparing for filming as early as the end of last year, was finally released as scheduled.

A teenage writer who is the director and screenwriter of the original and directed the super-box office film "Ghost Shadows", and has two consecutive novels on the New York Times annual bestseller list, and was interviewed on the "Tonight Show" on the talk show with tens of millions of ratings a few months ago, Alice Wang's new DreamWorks work written the screenplay, "Brain Cell Invasion" has attracted the attention of many industry insiders as early as when it was first promoted.

Any viewer who looks at the list of crew members will find an interesting fact.

In "Ghost Record" at the beginning of last year, Alice was in charge of the two roles of screenwriter and director alone, and shot this outrageously simple film in the form of a home selfie video. In fact, because this film has set an astonishing rate of return of more than $200 million at the box office at a cost of $20,000, many film companies are also planning to shoot similar movies!

Because the aura is too loud, no one pays attention to who the assistant director is.

David Fincher, a college student who worked at Lucas Industrial Light & Magic for two years, that's all.

But when this character, who was originally unnoticed, suddenly became the director of a new movie, he naturally focused countless eyes. When the film starts, you can see that there are reporters around the set at all times, trying to get any trace of valuable news. And whatever they catch, they will be sent back to their respective newspapers as soon as possible.

But alas, David Fincher didn't give the media much of a chance to shoot. Because "Brain Cell Invasion" is indeed very special, there are quite a few episodes that are filmed in the studio, such as a large number of visions in the dream, or going to the desert Gobi region to shoot, such as the location of the murderer in reality. As a result, for a long time, the news about the film was like manna in the desert, and every time it appeared, countless reporters were crazy and excited.

It's just that Alice, as a member of the film investor, has been busy with Black Reef for some time, or waiting for the big event of Microsoft's listing. So just five days ago, although Lawrence specifically called her to inform Alice, who had been exposed to the public, still did not attend the premiere of the movie......

After returning to the city from Route 2, Maiya was asked by Alice to drive the Hummer to DreamWorks headquarters, an office building that is now located near Sunset Boulevard.

However, the scene in front of him made Maiya have to stop the car from a distance.

She didn't even get out of the car, Alice shook her head with a wry smile and said, "Oh my God...... Look at Maiya, everyone is so lively. ”

"Everyone, please be quiet, please be quiet!"

Sabastian was standing on the steps of the company's entrance, sweating profusely and annoyed.

At this time, more than 20 reporters were densely gathered under the steps. How many hours have passed since this morning, and the cameras of this group of people have been pointed at almost every window of the company, even if it is just ordinary clerks passing by casually, they have been clicked down in an instant!

"Your behavior of squatting at the door of the company will disturb the peace, and it will also bring trouble to the normal operation of the company, if it continues like this, we will have to call the police!"

"Sir, can you tell us about your position?

"Excuse me, sir, is the editor of "Brain Cell Invasion" really Miss Alice Wang, and can you give any further explanation for her failure to attend the premiere?"

"How do you feel about the film's current box office performance, and did you expect the first day of box office success and the drop in the following days?"

"Excuse me......"

"I think we're going to go through the back door. ”

Alice got out of the car from a distance, and looking at the sweaty appearance of the drama agent, she smiled bitterly: "If I rush over now, this group of reporters will not even want to leave." ”

Maiya nodded in agreement: "Yes, more than 20 people are asking around one person, if I don't want to stand it, I have to go crazy." ”

"That's what makes the world of entertainment, beautiful ladies. ”

Suddenly, a young man holding a pancake appeared next to the Humvee: "Especially those celebrities, they simply have no private life to speak of, to be honest, if it weren't for the legal restrictions, maybe the paparazzi would be able to investigate what color they in!"

"Well~ the so-called entertainment to death, isn't "Brave New World" written to the extreme of your situation. ”

Alice patted the young man on the shoulder: "Speaking of which, Booker, why don't I remember, there are small shops selling pancakes and fruits around us?"

"Uh...... This ......"

A DreamWorks employee named Booker, his handsome face suddenly turned white.

Maimi on the side: "Poof~"

"And you seem to be still at work, right? What are you doing at this time, holding a pancake fruit that I don't know where I bought it?"

"Uh...... This one...... This ......"

"Pay a hundred dollars, and I won't report to Mr. Lawrence. ”

"Okay! No problem! Please take it!"

In this way, Alice took the hundred-dollar bill that had just arrived, and waved it triumphantly at Maiya: "See, dear, this is called business acumen~" (To be continued.) )
