As Jiang Peng said to Sun Ziming, Benjamin Reno, a poor Texas boy with no background, can rush out of Hollywood, which is full of talents, and finally climb to the high position of MGM president, who is an ordinary person?

When Anthony made it clear that he was dissatisfied with Sun Ziming, Benjamin Reno did not hesitate to put his posture as low as that of Garry's, explaining: "Anthony, China Ming is not only a director, but also the boss of Light and Shadow Film Company, and he has to balance the interests of a large group of subordinates and partners. If he accepts your invitation, what about Paramount, and Warner? Oh, Anthony, dollars are a good thing, who would have too much? However, at the level of you and him, many times you can't help yourself! ”

Anthony Jon can represent several rich second-generation British partners, mix in Hollywood for more than ten years, and manage the cash cow of "007", it is impossible to be stupid, how can he be so fooled by Benjamin?

"No, Mr. Benjamin, I understand his distress, but it was he who rejected our friendship. My friend, he's got a good dog. ”

Ben Jerry felt a burst of disdain in his heart, although Anthony and these rich second generations are the heirs of their respective families, but after all, they are only heirs and not the only heirs, what qualifications do they have to talk about friendship with their new boss? These people are used to flattery, and they regard the strength of their fathers as their own prestige. Besides, you little abacus are so good that you want to take advantage of others, and you don't allow others to ridicule a few words?

But the steps that should be given still have to be given, Ben Jerry joked in his mouth: "Come on, can you hide this from others, and can you hide it from me?" We've all worked together three times, what do you think in your heart, I don't know? You just want to use my boss to hype, if he takes it, it will make fans look forward to it more; If you don't accept it, you can stimulate those screenwriters and make up more exciting scripts, and you won't suffer anyway! ”

Anthony laughed and secretly disdainful: This guy can be the president of MGM for three years, it's really lucky, no wonder people will be fired.

However, Ben Jerry shook the BlueLabel whiskey in the glass with a red glow in the yellow, and suddenly changed as if he were a person, looked at Anthony and smiled, "Anthony, remember my last job, right?" ”

Anthony, who was happy, flashed a glint in his blue-gray eyes, and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean?" ”

Ben Jerry raised his glass and touched the wine glass on the table, poured a small half glass of wine into his mouth, and said faintly: "It's not interesting, I just remind you that the general content of "007: Tomorrow's Empire" may be a secret for ordinary people, but for people like me, you can find out at any time." ”

That's for sure, if Ben Jerry didn't have this ability, he would have been the president of MGM for three years, but his next words made Anthony's face begin to change.

"Now there is a saying in Hollywood that the actors who used to come out of the artist agency of the light and shadow company are called 'light and shadow department'. In fact, they are still too narrow-minded, and in the Asian film industry, there is also such a thing as 'light and shadow'. ”

Anthony's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "Are you threatening me? ”

Ben Jerry shook his head and said sincerely: "No, I said it a long time ago, you and my boss are big people, and I'm just a small person." I'm just reminding you that there are only three actresses with good kung fu and box office appeal in the United States, and there are only Wanqiu Huang in Asia. Coincidentally, Zhi and her are followers of my boss, and Huang and my boss are called sisters and brothers. Of course, it is impossible for my boss to use his influence to ask them to make sacrifices in their respective careers, but it shouldn't be difficult for me to invite them to make cameos or something. ”

The rich second generation is the rich second generation, sometimes doing things depends on the situation at the time and does not think much, and after realizing that they have done something wrong, they are unwilling to remedy it because of their scruples, and they often simply make a mistake to the end.

Anthony? Wayne was excited when he felt that he had a brilliant idea, and sent someone to UTN to deliver a check, and when his subordinates returned, he realized that the other party was the big man China Ming, and he should first take the initiative to talk to him to show respect, instead of sending a subordinate to his agent, let alone write a blank check. How can a big man and a super-rich man like China Ming be poor in money? Doesn't writing him a blank check make people laugh at their ignorance?

However, when Douglas came to the door and taunted Anthony Wayne, he felt that he had been slighted and shameless. Anthony, who had the heart to wrestle with the genius director, but was really powerless and helpless, intervened in the special effects production of "007: Tomorrow's Empire", signaling that he would exclude the light and shadow special effects company and find some psychological balance.

For Ben Jerry? Reno said that when he encounters such a second ancestor, what he has to do is to give him a step, and it is best to give him another high-sounding reason to remove his competitors from the competition sequence. See Anthony? Wayne didn't speak, and Ben Jerry nodded lightly, "Anthony, we're friends, at least we used to be partners. Don't you think it's very strange that Douglas said those things? ”

After a moment of silence, Anthony asked rhetorically, "Test your abilities?" ”

Ben Jerry nodded lightly and said in a low voice: "China Ming has a lot of grudges, and I have offended him when I opposed the participation of Light and Shadow Company in the distribution of the film. This time it was Peng who recommended me, and he had to at least give me a problem, right? I'm willing to bet that whether or not I can hold this position, Douglas will come and apologize to you when the preparations for 007 are over. ”

Anthony finally wavered a little, and his brilliant idea was that "007: Tomorrow's Empire" was ready to invite Huang Wanqiu to star, and use her box office appeal to open up the Asian market. took the initiative to send a blank check to Brian, if Sun Ziming accepted it, with that guy's status, it would be impossible to write a sky-high price; If you don't accept it, you can also show favor to UTN and Light and Shadow Company, and you can ask Huang Wanqiu to come forward before the film and let that guy check the script. After filming starts, you can also ask Huang Wanqiu to come forward and invite Li Zhi and them to make a cameo, anyway, they will definitely not talk about money between them, and they will not take advantage of it.

It's just that what Anthony didn't expect was that China Ming's bastard didn't pick it up, but let his dog bark at the door, saying that his gang was not self-sufficient! That's why Anthony intervened in the special effects of the movie, and directly put the numbers? The Light and Shadow Company kicked out. In the eyes of Anthony, who was annoyed, he sent a blank check to UTN President Brian, and it was also a full affirmation of the market value of China Ming, how could he humiliate him?

Now that Ben Jerry pointed out why China Ming refused, and the reason why it was so disrespectful, Anthony's anger slowly dissipated. As long as people don't look down on themselves, as for letting people use them once, it doesn't matter, isn't it just that you use me and I use you in the business field? Besides, being able to make people use it indirectly proves its own value and proves that it is also the number one person in the eyes of China.

The soft music in the bar was like water, and Anthony muttered for a long time, and said: "Ben Jerry, we are friends, and it stands to reason that I should help you, but you also know that business is business, and favors are favors." In this way, you can send someone to send Wen Jiàn over tomorrow, as long as your conditions are similar to those of other companies, we will cooperate with you as a thank you for helping us invite someone to make a cameo. ”

"Of course," Ben Jerry understood Anthony's subtext, but still beckoned to his assistant in the distance, motioning for him to send the revised text over.

After taking the text, Ben Jerry handed it to Anthony with both hands, and said confidently: "Anthony, our numbers?" Light and shadow special effects companies are the best companies in the industry, and they are also the most honest companies. We have been committed to the research of film special effects technology, and we will not pursue huge profits but only earn reasonable remuneration. ”

Anthony looked at Ben Jerry strangely, and seeing that he was not joking, he took the bag and handed it to his assistant, and said, "Mr. Ben Jerry, please leave it to you to invite Miss Drew or Miss Cameron to make a cameo." ”

If it is useful, he will change to an honorific language, and he really deserves to be the arrogant second ancestor, Ben Jerry sighed secretly, beckoned to Garry standing at the bar, motioned to send a few glasses of champagne, and smiled: "It's just a gesture, you shouldn't be like this." ”

Anthony also seemed to go back to more than a year ago, clinking glasses with Ben Jerry with a smile on his face, and affectionately said, "Thank you, my friend." ”

The four of them toasted, neither of them interested in introducing their assistants to each other, and waved their hands after drinking champagne, signaling them to go back, and the two of them continued to talk about their old friendship. The two drank until late in the evening, had dinner together, and then waved goodbye.

The understated black Toyota Crown took a spin down the street and returned to the dreamy 'Pink House' under the lights, and Ben Jerry got out of the car and went to the bar to ask for a call from Larry. Half an hour later, Ben Jerry arrives in an upscale neighborhood and finds the little bar that Garryna said.

Parking outside the bar, Ben Jerry took a closer look at the neighborhood at night. The environment here is elegant, and the people who come and go in front of the bar look like high-end white-collar workers, and Ben Jerry can't help but wonder, so the can live here with a good mother?

Puzzled, Ben Jerry entered the bar, and at a glance saw Garry learning to bartangle at the bar, and also saw a young man from Sven sitting next to the bar, making fun of the black boy's poor drinking, and his movements were not handsome enough. It dawned on Ben Jerry that the white man in the suit should be Jeffrey Kruger, and the black boy should be living with his friend so that he could learn to mix. This kid is really different from ordinary, not only kind-hearted but also very hardworking, no wonder he can become friends with China.
