"Did you just watch TV?" Seeing Li Xiaole squatting on the ground in the dark, Lei Ting knocked lightly at the door, but did not go in, she knew that Li Xiaole didn't like to let people see him like this.

"Look, I know the situation...... Don't worry, I'll take care of it. Li Xiaole squatted on the ground, buried his head in his legs, and repeated the sentence.

"And ...... Warry Sandro of the Century Cinema Alliance called...... "Lei Ting is a little unbearable, but she still has to say it......

"......" Li Xiaole was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Is it Todd Hardy who has asked the little antiques of the Cinema Alliance to discuss the acquisition, and wants to divide the Century Cinema Alliance......

"Hmm......" Lei Ting replied with some surprise, Todd Hardy is simply terrible, this leaves no room at all, one move after another, is to drive them out...... These Wall Street businessmen simply want to completely uproot the Black Pearl Company......

The two of them were silent in the room, not knowing what to say, and they both felt that something was blocking them, and the atmosphere was extremely depressed.

I don't know how long it took for Lei Ting's mobile phone to ring to break the long silence, Lei Ting picked up the phone and frowned, then showed a slightly surprised expression, looked at Li Xiaole and said:

"It's Todd Hardy......"

"......Pick me up" Li Xiaole also raised his head in surprise and stretched out his hand to Lei Ting.

"What if...... I mean if ......" Lei Ting looked into his eyes while handing him the phone, and whispered: "If he says that you will join the big leagues and become a part of them to end the current situation, you will be relented...... Heroes don't suffer immediate losses, promise them first, and when your foundation is stable, it will be fine for you to leave American citizenship in the future......"

Li Xiaole didn't make a sound, just took the mobile phone in his hand and fed it to the microphone......

Todd Hardy's gentle and soothing voice sounded in the earpiece, Li Xiaole's mind was very confused at this time, and he didn't hear what he was saying at all, but he roughly understood Todd Hardy's most important words:

"Lee, I admire you, with your talent should not be just a small fight, you only need a stage to show your talent, as long as you are willing to join the big leagues, you can trust me, I can give you everything you want, no one will do it right for you anymore, you can enjoy the fun as a director......"

Forcing him to the bottom, he suddenly stretched out a hand and let him see hope, as long as he agreed, these desperate situations facing all things would be solved, and the Black Pearl Company would no longer have to pay so much hardship to reach its destination...... All he needs to do is nod his head, and with a nod of his head, everything can change......

Li Xiaole looked at Lei Ting looking at him, nodded desperately at him, his own reason was also telling him that he might really agree to the other party's conditions, but at the moment there was a surge of anger in his chest, an unyielding blood was surging, he took the mobile phone, took a few deep breaths, and then squeezed out a smile, word by word:

"Xie Lu Xie, old ...... Child...... Not...... Interest. Then he hung up the phone.

Lei Ting looked at him, but she was not surprised at all, but when she took her phone back, she looked at him and sighed and commented: "Stubborn." ”

“Chink· In· The· Armor ('Chinese guy in armor') is stubborn. Li Xiaole squatted on the ground, nodded as a matter of course, and continued to think of a solution.

Lei Ting just glanced at him deeply, exited the room, and gently closed the door, he knew that Li Xiaole wanted to stay alone for a while at this time.

Li Xiaole didn't want to think about anything now, turned off his phone and threw it aside, leaning on the sofa, he suddenly felt very tired, very tired, he just wanted to sleep, closed his eyes and never wanted to open them again......

At 60 Wall Street in New York, in an ordinary office of JPMorgan Chase Bank, Todd Hardy frowned and hung up the phone, and Warner's president, Jeff Robinoff, stood next to him tremblingly and cautiously asked, "Mr. Hardy, what did he say?" ”

"As we thought, he won't agree......," Todd Hardy said calmly.

"I think we should hang him for a few days, so that he can't support himself and takes the initiative to come to us...... Now he's angry...... After all, the video of the press conference has just aired, and I ...... gone," Jeff Robinoff suggested.

"Jeff, you still don't know much about human nature." Todd Hardy shook his head: "According to Li Xiaole's personality, now that we are pushing him so urgently, if he is completely desperate, he will break the jar and break it, and he will only hate us even more, and he will fight us to the end...... Such an outcome is not good for anyone. ”

"You mean to give him hope?" Jeff Robinoff is also a brilliant man, and he immediately understood the mind of the man at the helm of the major leagues.

"Yes, sometimes threats can't make a strong man succumb, hope is the key to shaking his heart......" Todd Hardy smiled slightly: "Li Xiaole is a real talent, we need such a person in the big league, and it is our real loss to kick him out of Hollywood." ”

"You think so, but I'm afraid Mr. Cork doesn't think so......," Jeff Robinoff sighed:

"I always felt that we had crossed the line this time, and six companies were suing for copyright, which has never been done in our Hollywood history, and copyright issues should have been resolved through negotiation between production companies...... There's no need to go to court, Corke, the old fox, is too cunning, I think he just wants to bring down Li Xiaole and the Black Pearl Company and bring his MGM to life......"

"He's really going too far...... But in business competition, you need an unscrupulous person like him, as long as he uses it well, a despicable villain like him is the best helper. Todd Hardy smiled calmly: "

"In fact, this Li Xiaole is also full of unruliness, and we also need to tame him slowly...... Wait, I expect him to hold out for about half a year, and by the end of the year, his alliance of interests will collapse, and when the time comes, I believe he will make the right choice. ”

Jeff Robinoff nodded silently on the side, looking at Mr. Todd Hardy, who looked like an ordinary farmer, and admired it in his heart, Li Xiaole, a hot boy from China, has turned the Hollywood major league upside down in the past two years, but he didn't expect this big guy to force Li Xiaole into a desperate situation as soon as he made a move, and now it seems that the collapse of the Black Pearl Company is a matter of time.

On the sofa in the office of the London Drama Council, Li Xiaole fell asleep, and I don't know how long it took to pass, in the dark night, Li Xiaole suddenly heard a familiar voice calling him: "Li Xiaole...... Li Xiaole ......"

He listened carefully to "Li Xiaole...... Li Xiaole...... What now, we're finished, our company is finished......"

Li Xiaole took a closer look, he had returned to the MGM Building in Los Angeles, and the office hall of the Black Pearl Company was a mess, with documents, computers, contracts, photos, and desks all scattered all over the place...... Through the floor-to-ceiling glass, familiar figures swaying in the light were shivering......

Li Xiaole felt rushed in, although this room was close at hand, he seemed to have been running for more than ten minutes, no matter how he ran, he found that the room was still so far away, it seemed that the shouting was far and near, but it was clearly audible.

Li Xiaole anxiously pulled his throat and shouted: "President He, don't be afraid~~!" Don't be afraid~~! I'm coming soon......" After shouting, he ran for more than a dozen minutes, but still didn't run to the office, he was already tired and sweating, panting, so he leaned against the wall to rest, and when he turned his head, he saw Leigh Canon and Jeff Robinov packing up their things in their office and taking all the scripts...... Ha Ji Won stopped them on the side, but they pushed them away and fell to the ground crying.

They turned their heads to look at Li Xiaole, who was already exhausted, his disgusting face, showing a trace of contempt and smugness, and swaggered away......

"No...... Give Lao Tzu a ...... back" roared, startling the old Charlie who had just entered the door, Li Xiaole should have been working in this office at this time, old Charlie saw him sleeping on the sofa, and thought he had stayed up late, but he suddenly screamed, hurriedly walked over, and saw Li Xiaole lying on the sofa scratching in the air, his brows were tightly locked, and his teeth were clucking.

Charlie saw that the situation was wrong, and secretly said in his heart, not good, it is estimated that he had a nightmare, hurriedly took off his hat, and was about to pat Li Xiaole's face with his hat, but before he could pat Li Xiaole's face, the hand was grabbed by Li Xiaole, who was awake: "Charlie...... What are you doing......"

As soon as Li Xiaole woke up, he saw old Charlie rushing over in a daze, wanting to hug him, and he was so frightened that he almost jumped up......

"You were having a nightmare, okay?" Charlie asked him with concern.

Li Xiaole shook his head and said, "It's okay." ”

"Okay, you clean up and get dressed." Charlie laughed.

"What's the matter?" Li Xiaole remembered the predicament he was facing at this time, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, as if he woke up and felt a layer of heavy dark clouds pressing on his head, as if he would be beaten to nothing by a torrential rain at any time......

"Celebration, today is the day when the council rehearsal hall is renovated, have you forgotten?" Charlie smiled mildly.

"It's Friday? I slept for two whole days!? Li Xiaole came to his senses, turned his head to look at the wall clock on the wall, and found that it was already half past 11 noon on Friday, and the council finally freed up his hands to redecorate the dilapidated rehearsal hall after the sale of "Sherlock", and today is the day when the renovation was completed, so he quickly patted his face, quickly went to the bathroom to wash his face, tidied up his hairstyle, and then came to the familiar rehearsal hall with old Charlie.

As soon as I walked out of the room, I felt the refreshing sunlight spilling down, and when I looked up, the sky of London, which had rained for two weeks, was actually clear, and a few snow-white clouds were floating in the blue sky, and the mood was melodious and open......
