(Thank you for the book friend "Streamline under the Sky" 588 reward, thank you for collecting and recommending friends, I have seen every collection and recommendation in my eyes.) In addition, some book friends pointed out that Rachel Taylor has the same name as a certain star, and her appearance is not bad, in order to avoid confusion, it has all been modified to Rachel Cyrus, thank you. )

"Knock knock!" A crisp knock sounded at the door.

"Please come in." Li Jie put down the R&D progress reports of each laboratory in his hand, turned back the boss's chair with his back to the door, and looked up at the front.

"See you again, Mr. Li." Dressed in an emerald green dress, Nancy Jacobs pushed open the office door and walked in gracefully and gracefully.

"Nancy, what an unexpected surprise." The corners of Li Jie's mouth curled up in a subtle arc, gently closed the golden pen in his hand, and looked at the agent with appreciative eyes. The bumpy figure is completely revealed under the wrap of the dress, and the uncontrollable color of emerald green looks extremely natural on the other party, and the skin is extremely fair, and it is almost impossible to see the traces left by the years on this woman. "I have to say that you are only a broker is a loss for many people."

"I'd take that as a compliment." Nancy Jacobs smiled at Li Kit, and instead of sitting down, she gracefully carried her backpack on her arm, walked around the huge office, and finally stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows that took up the entire wall, looking out at the beach and the waves below. "Great office, it seems that you are a person who knows how to enjoy a lot, Mr. Li."

"Call me Bruce, beautiful women should always have some privileges." Li Jie's unbridled gaze fell on the woman's erect buttocks, who seemed to sense his burning gaze, and his legs were tightly closed, but this action made his buttocks more upright, revealing a perfect arc on the tight skirt cloth, and there was no trace of restraint. Even if you don't wear nothing inside, it can only be wearing a T-back, or the kind with the least amount of fabric.

Nancy Jacobs is a proud and fastidious person, which is why she is still single. But I don't know why, before coming to meet Li Jie, she would think of dressing up carefully. Perhaps Nancy Jacobs herself didn't realize that she had an inexplicable interest in this young, strong man. And every time Li Jie looked at her with an aggressive, substance-like gaze, she felt as if something was being awakened deep within her body.

This feeling is involuntary and uncontrollable, so that Nancy Jacobs feels as if she is standing naked in front of the other party, but she is unwilling to turn around, which in her heart represents weakness and retreat, so she endured the invasion of Li Jie's gaze and still maintained the posture of facing Li Jie to speak. "I brought a piece of news that might be of interest to you, Mr. Lee."

"Call me Bruce." Li Jie reminded again, his tone indifferent, as if he was not the slightest interested in what Nancy was going to say, but got up from his seat and stood about half a step behind her. It's a delicate distance, and it doesn't make Nancy feel like she's being violated, and there's a strange feeling that everything around her body is within the reach of the other party.

"When I talk about business, I prefer to be more formal." Nancy finally couldn't take it anymore, turned around, and took another half step back, almost clinging to the window. She stared at Li Jie with unkind eyes, but there was a faint irritability in her heart, and she seemed to have lost in this silent confrontation.

"You didn't seem to say that last time." There was a kind of smile in Li Jie's eyes, and Nancy felt this hint of his smile, and when she felt that she was a little out of control and wanted to be angry, Li Jie suddenly stepped back and sat back in her chair. "Don't be so nervous, you seem to be a little scared of me? I hope you'll take it easy, Nancy, wasn't it nice to have a conversation last time. ”

As Li Jie relaxed the pressure, Nancy couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but she was faintly a little lost in her heart, which made her suddenly wake up, what happened to her! He is calm and rational in his usual working state, but today he behaved extremely abnormally in front of Li Jie. As a demon who loves to play with people's hearts, what Li Jie is best at is capturing the subtle emotions of his opponents and amplifying them into weaknesses that he can attack. But Nancy Jacobs couldn't figure out why, and could only take it as his own gaffe.

In fact, this is also what Li Jie finds very interesting, human emotions are the most complex he has ever seen, and there are many ways of thinking that he still finds difficult to understand, such as sacrificing oneself for the sake of other individuals, such as putting emotions above life. So he's been watching carefully, and he's careful to keep a sense of proportion in the face of Rachel and Lisa, who are more emotional. And Nancy Jacobs, a woman with a strong appearance, is actually full of desire and awe for power inside, and needs to be harnessed by more powerful people. In other words, her essence is to be conquered, but her requirements for objects are much higher than those of ordinary people.

"I received news that Miramax Films (miramax_Films) has a new film that is looking for investors, and I think you might be interested." After calming down a bit, Nancy decided to get straight to the point.

"Wait a minute." Li Jie raised his hand to stop her words and pressed the transponder on the table. "Let Izzikil come to my office at once." The film industry is a completely unfamiliar industry for him, and Li Jie will simply ask professionals to give advice on areas that he is not familiar with.

Within 5 minutes, Izzikil was in the office. When he heard Nancy repeat the question, he immediately asked, "Miramax's new film?" Why would he be looking for investors outside, his parent company, Walt Disney, is not short of money. ”

Itzikil is a person who knows how to put himself in the right position, and although he doesn't quite understand why his boss suddenly let him know about the situation of the film company, he is still very efficient and just does it.

"Quite simply, because Disney is not sure about the prospects of this new film, and Miramax has recently opened several new films, and the funds are a little tight, so I considered looking for investors." Nancy has completely calmed down by this time and reverted to the role of a shrewd female agent.

"In other words, this is a new film that is not favored?" Itzikiel gets straight to the point.

"It's an art film! Miramax wasn't originally starting from its commerciality, I have reliable sources, and the script is very good. If Rachel has the opportunity to participate, it should definitely not be missed, and it is a very good choice for newcomers. In fact, as far as I know, there are already two actresses who are following this new film. I don't think Rachel would have been able to compete with them without your support. Nancy is not shy about the actual situation, and if it weren't for Jack's promise, she wouldn't have made the idea at all, because Rachel has no chance of winning at all.

"Miramax is really mainly responsible for the distribution of niche films that are more artistic or less popular, and it is only in recent years that it has begun to develop into popular films." Itzikiel groaned for a moment and nodded, acknowledging the statement.

"Mr. Li, I want you to figure out one thing, you asked me to help you. If you don't believe me, I don't think you need to waste any more time. Nancy seemed to be very dissatisfied with Izakil's questioning attitude, but she didn't look at him, but spoke coldly to Li Jie, and there was a faint sense of pleasure in counterattacking because she was at a loss.

Li Jie smiled lightly and motioned for Itzikiel to go out. "You're wrong, Nancy, it's our common goal, not just my thing. I think it's normal for you to find a professional to consult an industry you don't know, and you should be able to understand it. ”

"Then let me tell you, this new film does take the route of art, but it does not mean that the box office must be bad. What's more, even if it fails at the box office, you can win word of mouth, and even win one or two awards, which is very suitable for Rachel, it depends on whether you are willing to pay for it. Nancy acquiesced to his explanation, and then threw the question out as if it were some kind of test - would you really like to do a business that could lose money?

"So, how much money do I need to give to Miramax?" Li Jie found Nancy's attitude interesting, and the woman seemed to have some subtle changes.

"The total budget for the film is about $30 million, and Miramax hopes to pull in an investment of $15 million." Nancy had long been familiar with these situations and blurted out them without thinking. What she wanted to know more was whether the young man was really doing what he said he would do, as he claimed, willing to put $15 million into a movie that was likely to lose money for Rachel Cyrus.

"And if I invest this money, Rachel will be able to get the heroine?" Li Jie nodded and asked in a calm tone.

"I'm 80% sure that this movie is simply tailor-made for Rachel, and it couldn't be more suitable for her. Add to that the demands of the investors, and I'm sure Miramax will agree. The director of the film, I am already in public relations, and there will be no problem with this. Nancy seems to have done her homework in advance, and everything is ready, only Li Jie, the big financier, needs to pay for it.

"Very well, I agreed, my treasurer will contact you. If you need the cost of PR in the future, you can go directly to him. Hopefully it's a good start, Nancy. Li Jie flexed his knuckles, tapped lightly on the tabletop, and made a quick decision.

Nancy originally thought that Li Jie would say that he would think about it, at least ask to read the script first, but he didn't expect this man to agree very simply, which surprised her with a hint of reading jokes.

"Don't you need to think about it? Mr. Lee? ”

"No need, since I chose you, I believe in your ability. Frankly, I can afford to lose this money. "What Li Jie said is indeed the truth, he was originally spending money to support Rachel, Nancy in terms of film selection and public relations, and Izie Kiel in terms of profit, so why bother.

"You're special, Mr. Li, you don't seem to be too afraid that I'll lie to you." Nancy walked to the door with a somewhat unreal feeling, thought about it, and then turned back and said. Izaki's questions were a formality at best, and she wondered if the other party was really not worried at all.

"Trust me, Nancy, no one can afford to cheat on me." Li Jie put away his smile, squinted at her and replied.

Nancy stood stunned in place, suddenly felt a chill in the room, nodded without speaking, and left.
