“…… I always feel very excited when I see those cases where the corpses are mutilated, and I will guess that there are many mysteries and conspiracies behind these murder cases......"

Daniel picked up his glass and forced a sip down.

It's really hard for you to imagine that Ray. Werner, such a regular boy who looked like a normal Melber himself—he didn't even have a beard now. will describe so stoically and excitedly that he is so interested in the "corpse shredding case" and "murder plot" that he needs to suppress his excitement. When I heard him describe those scenes, there was no trace of fear at all, only fanaticism.

It's a madman.

Facing Davy, their rank is really low, when they worked at Claire's hot dog shop, they cursed Claire for stepping on the drunkard's vomit at most, and they definitely didn't dare to think that he was chopped up. James and Werner's brain supplement is too surprising.

"Ahem, ahem."

After listening to it for almost 15 minutes, Daniel already understood why Werner had created this script...... And why he can't find the reason for investing, it's just a kid with three wrong views, who has been paying attention to and fantasizing about himself as a conspiracy theory master who knows everything since he was a child, and is full of interest in those bloody murder cases, and finally embarked on the road of writing a script for brain supplements, and hoping to make it into a movie.

That being the case, Daniel didn't want to add fuel to his nightmare tonight.

"Okay, okay, Werner, your enthusiasm is admirable, and it makes me more confident about the success of the film." Daniel reluctantly said, "You can talk to Ferguson about the specific contract, oh, this is Ferguson, the head of the investment department." What I want to say is that I can meet your request, which is that James will direct and Werner will write the script. Alex Ferguson will be your producer, and as for the actors, I think you must already have some ideas, and the three of you can discuss it yourself. David will give you an experienced casting director, and it will all happen quickly. We're trying to start shooting in July or August.

Well...... I think the point you are most concerned about is probably the investment, four million! I'll give you four million, and another $100,000 is James's payment. 60,000 is Werner's screenwriting fee, and as for the actors, this can be handed over to Ferguson. Is there a problem? ”

James hesitated, he didn't really want to be paid, he wanted to be shared.

But sit in front of Daniel and listen to him ask "is there a problem" and the offer of 100,000 yuan - which is a lot more than his previous year's salary.

He looked at Werner for a while, and he saw that there was a negative meaning in the other party's eyes, and Werner knew his intentions.

"No, no problem. We agree. ”

"Great, then, James, hopefully you'll make a shooting plan soon, and then, Werner, give Ferguson the ultimate script."

This means that the conversation is over.

After the horror that Werner had exuded just now, he was not so restrained now.

The two of them, including Qiao Sen, stood up and said goodbye, smiling all over their faces.

……

Three people who have just walked out of the DD office building. They looked at each other.

"Wow, we got four million, and oh my god, I thought it was only four hundred thousand. Now we can use a professional camera. Build a better scene, hire some professional actors. My God, today is a lucky day. ”

Thunder. Werner was so excited that as the main writer of the script, he wanted to make a film more than James, which was his dream. And not just for the sake of making a living and profit.

"I should have mentioned to them just now that if you can get a share, it must be more than 100,000."

James was blown by the hot June wind and regretted not bringing it up just now.

Werner disagreed with him, "Wen, this is simply impossible, they invested 4 million, how can they give you a share?" You're just someone who's never made a film, and I've just written a script -- it's not been made into a movie yet. Sharing is simply not a request for us. Only an actor of Daniel's level, or a director of Spielberg's level, is qualified to say that he is divided. ”

Jossen agrees with him, "Yes, James, Werner is right, the share belongs only to those who are influential, if you make this kind of request, it may leave a bad impression on Daniel, seriously, if this movie makes money, for you, the meaning is not at all how much you can take, but you can get Daniel's trust and favor, you know?" Daniel has just invested 200 million in DD Pictures, and they have a lot of plans, as far as I know, DD Pictures Headquarters - Oh, you may not know, DD Pictures is divided into the headquarters and Daniel Investment Department, the latter is Daniel's direct investment project, the former is his and David's daily business project, you belong to the former. It's a rare thing that this project now has two projects, one is also a horror film, and the investment is far more than your film. So, as long as you perform well, you may have the opportunity to shoot a bigger investment, a real Hollywood movie. That's all that matters. James, I think you should take a more long-term view. ”

Two Australian rookies were educated by Hollywood rookies, and after being amazed, they ignited unprecedented enthusiasm.

Qiao Sen is right, as long as this film is filmed well, there is no need for other opportunities, this series is enough for them to eat for a lifetime.

……

"Impressive, isn't it?"

Watching Werner's back fade away, Daniel exhaled, "This is a true horror movie lover." ”

"I kind of regret now that I agreed to your request to see the film. What he shot can't be NC-17 level. ”

In the U.S. movie classification system, NC-17 rating means that people under the age of 17 are prohibited from watching.

It seems that it just removes the people under the age of 17, but in fact it is not, an NC-17 movie, except for something like Ray. Werner, a homicide lover and horror movie enthusiast, is actually rarely watched, and ordinary people will not abuse themselves like this at all, even if he is 27 or 37 years old.

That would doom the movie to have little box office - of course, for a 4 million investment, if you really need those shots, you won't lose.

After asking Ferguson to pay attention to The Hangover, Daniel and Miller returned to Malibu.

He's basically put off socializing at night now. Otherwise, with the current heat, it is really possible to sing all night long, and the party continues. Actually, he really works a lot at night. Generally speaking. It would take more than an hour to deal with the progress of the negotiations and the problems on Raymond's side, and he also had his routine fitness and then the SAT exam.

The time is near. If he can't take the exam in June, he can only take the exam in October. In this way, the time to apply to universities is relatively tight.

Of course, there are networks in the United States, especially since his first target is the University of Berkeley -- which is in California, and he can find connections to pass the admissions committee anyway -- provided that he has a good score on the SAT, or he won't even be able to get up to the meeting unless he gives him a lot of money. If that's the case, with the level of attention he has today, he will definitely be criticized to death even Berkeley.

However, perhaps it is the Chinese who are really superior in their ability to study. Coupled with his incredible experience to improve all aspects of hardware, there is no difficulty in learning.

The first of the emails was Raymond's daily report.

The negotiations with Google are extremely difficult, Raymond is now almost resident in Silicon Valley with his team, and he is competing with the other party's negotiation team every day, because the several large pieces involved are all interrelated, and how much Google injects into MB depends on what price he is willing to let Daniel at when he replaces Blogger's shares, and when subscribing to Google's original shares, he will give Daniel a price lower than the issue price. It's definitely a big deal for Google. Presently. Google's IPO size was designed to be around $3 billion, and they determined that the issue price was $100, so that is, 30 million shares out of 270 million shares. The proportion is only 11.1%, and the subscription limit they give Daniel is 10 million shares, which is almost equal to one-third of the entire IPO size, worth $1 billion, and there are hundreds of millions of dollars at a discount to the subscription price - now Google's annual profit is only more than 200 million.

So. This is a business that cannot be too cautious and procrastinated.

Daniel wasn't in a hurry, he knew Page's plan, and Page didn't want Wall Street vampires to suck too much blood on Google's IPO, so he finally decided to issue it in a Dutch-style auction that would give equal opportunities to investors of all magnitudes - which would certainly be sniped by Wall Street financial giants. At that point, their need for Daniel will be stronger.

With this attitude on both sides, it is only natural that negotiations will proceed slowly.

For Daniel, there is also an important point, after the Google IPO in August next year, if Plutos Investment Company wants to hold nearly 6% of the shares, it will definitely need to release some information to the Nasdaq, which means that he may be exposed - of course, Raymond is also doing some tricks now, such as continuing to set up an investment company, and then investing in Plutos, so that if you want to disclose the information of Plutos itself, you can not involve Daniel behind it.

In general, as these companies have grown, it has become more and more difficult for Daniel to hide behind them.

……

Daniel's SAT test room is located in the Unified School District where Sunset District and Highland streets intersect, and the name is very apt—Hollywood High School.

On test day, the police department sent 60 officers to seal off the entrance to the high school — at the request of the high school, and since the news broke that Daniel was going to take the SAT test there, some students and parents worried that their children might be disturbed. Some even protested in front of schools and local government buildings.

In the end, the government also issued a special announcement, saying that it would send enough police to maintain order and ensure the quiet of the examination room, which reassured everyone.

But on the day of the exam, there were still many media reporters outside the encirclement, waiting for Daniel's Mercedes-Benz to come.

Until 30 minutes before the test, it was a cool Porsche 911 parked in the parking lot outside the school, followed by two Chevrolets, followed by 6 men in black and sunglasses, all the way to the entrance of the school, before being stopped by the staff.

These people did not leave, but stood guard at the door, three on each side, with expressionless faces. (To be continued.) )
