Chapter 136: Have a drink with me

A skyscraper, a conference room. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info four people in the conference room.

"If you say yes, then we can invest right away." Maggie's fingers tapped lightly on the table top of the conference table, facing Neil as he sat next to him. Starr and Beth said, "It's good for each other. ”

"No, I don't think there's anything I can do with a movie with two heroines. If you don't invest, I think there will definitely be people who are optimistic about this movie. Beth didn't budge, but before she could speak, Starr stopped her.

"We can think again." Starr hurriedly said to Maggie, "I know...... All of this is still negotiable, and perhaps we should all take a step back. We can accept a second heroine. But you can also invest in our film. The ratio can be discussed again. ”

"Mr. Starr, you can't make decisions for me." Beth was in a hurry, so she stood up and said to him, with some angry looks on her face, "This is my movie, it's mine." ”

"No, it's not your thing!" Starr also stood up and yelled at Beth, "What else do you want? We've talked to all the investors and companies we know, but none of them are willing to invest in your film. It's not a question of whether you look good or not, haven't you seen the problem yet? Sober up, Beth! ”

Beth was stunned for a moment, then immediately looked at him in horror, then at Maggie, and at the grim-faced man standing behind her. The man's eyes were like knives, and he glanced at Beth, and this glance made Beth smell a rancid smell of death, and she felt uncomfortable.

"Because of you?" Beth looked at the woman and the man behind her as if she had seen a ghost, and slowly stood up as if she had a thorn in her body, "Hell, what are you doing this for?" ”

"Add a heroine to your movie. That's all. Maggie smiled, but her smile made Beth feel disgusting, as disgusting as if she had eaten a fly.

"That's not a hard price for you, is it? Do you know how much you invested in this film? One three hundred million dollars, use this to invest in a movie that everyone loves to watch, and I promise to make money. But what about your films? The external propaganda says that it is a war art film, will it make money? ”

Starr persuaded Beth.

"God, now as long as the movie is related to art, except for a few one or two that will not lose money, the others will lose money, this is the law, the law of Hollywood for hundreds of years. You know? Beth, it's enough to be able to have an investment. ”

Beth just stared at Starr with wide eyes, and then said indignantly, "This is what you introduced me?" If so, you're not helping me, you're fighting me on the opposite side of me, you're just their helper. Oh, hell, I'll never trust you again, Mr. Starr, you're disgusting. ”

As she spoke, Beth stood up, grabbed her handbag, and walked towards the door of the conference room.

"Bethβ€”" Starr stood up and tried to chase him out, but he didn't move, and watched Beth snatch the door out of the door, slamming it down.

"That's all you can do? I was so disappointed. Maggie said sarcastically to Starr, "Is this still Mr. Starr, who is all the rage in Hollywood?" Or is it the idol of many young people? Well, that's the end of this matter, and it's time for our future cooperation to end. As she spoke, she stood up and prepared to leave.

"No, wait. Lady. I think we can think of another way, and if it really doesn't work, I think we can use her script and start making the film with just one heroine. Starr gritted his teeth and said to Maggie, "It's not that she has to be involved. ”

"You mean to leave her alone? Can you make sure there are no legal troubles? Maggie was a little interested, tapped lightly on the table, and glanced at the man who was narrating, who did not speak, but looked at Starr coldly.

"No, I promise it's going to be clean." Starr said to Maggie, "I'm not going to joke with my future. ”

"Why did you betray her? I remember you said you liked her a lot. Maggie looked at Starr with a smile and said, "I didn't expect you to betray her in the blink of an eye." ”

"It used to be, but not anymore." Starr shook his head and said, "I won't give up my status in Hollywood because of a woman, I can still tell who is more important." ”

"You'd better be like this, though...... What to do, wait for my message. Let's go, and we'll be here today. Maggie didn't immediately agree to Starr's plan, but waved her hand and told Starr to leave the place quickly. Starr didn't dare to linger longer, nodded, and quickly withdrew.

As soon as Starr left, Maggie immediately stood up and said respectfully to the man behind her: "Mr. Campbell, I think Mr. Starr's proposal is very good, why don't you go and discuss it with the master?" ”

Campbell nodded, turned away without saying a word.

After Campbell left, Maggie sat down in her office chair with a decadent expression, and the feeling of being restrained really made her miserable. There is no way to get rid of this pain, and this may be the price. The devil gave her youth, but she sold her soul.

When Jia Huan came back from the manor, Carlos had a lot of business cards in his hands. But when he arrived at home, Jia Huan took the business card he was looking at excitedly, threw it into the trash can without looking at it, and said, "I didn't expect you to be so interested in garbage, and all the garbage in the future will be yours to take out." ”

"God, there are also business cards of the bosses of many big companies, as well as directors of famous investment companies...... You actually threw it away like that? Carlos opened his arms and said to Jia Huan in confusion, "Didn't you say you wanted to give me a job?" Is this the end of the job today? ”

"Of course. Do you want to do this every day? Jia Huan took out a cash check from his pocket and stuffed it into Carlos' hand, "It's yours, so ...... You'd better go ahead and look for a job these days. You're fired, and it's your severance pay. ”

"Oh my God, you can't do that...... Fifty thousand dollars? Oh my God, just ...... You were paid $50,000 for your performance just now? Carlos's mouth grew big enough to fit an egg. This guy is completely confused.

"$50,000 is already a friendship price." Jia Huan shrugged his shoulders, "This kind of performance of mine, 50,000 US dollars is completely worth the ticket price...... However, it seems that no one sells tickets tonight......"

"You've given it all to me, what are you going to do?" Carlos resolutely stuffed the money back into Jia Huan's hand and said, "I can't ask for you, I didn't help anything." ”

"Well, since you don't want it, take it and I'll take it first. But...... You don't have much money now, shouldn't you go get a job? Jia Huan said, "Don't think about Miss Beth, she's not for you." ”

"How do you know it's not suitable if you haven't tried it?" Saying this, Carlos disagreed.

"Because she's going to get into trouble, and that's not something you can fight alone." Jia Huan shook her head at him, "She is a troublesome woman, and she will cause even more trouble in the future." ”

"I don't believe it!" Carlos snorted, "You're not a prophet. ”

Jia Huan smiled and didn't speak.

Carlos suddenly sighed and said: "Yes, you're right, I'm just blindly sticking to my opinion, she's a beautiful big star and very rich, and I'm ...... Nothing. ”

While he was sighing, suddenly a burst of music rang out.

"It's your phone." Carlos said to Jia Huan.

"That's not the sound on my phone. It's yours. Maybe it's the phone call you've been waiting for. Jia Huan patted him on the shoulder, stood up, and walked away, "Since you have decided, then take it, don't let yourself have regrets." ”

Carlos quickly took out his mobile phone, connected it, and a woman's voice came from inside: "Hi, Carlos, I'm Beth, what if...... If you have time tonight, can you come out and have a drink with me? ”
