Chapter 70: Nata's Counterattack (8)
Jerry looked at Natalie Portman with a wry smile, too much in love, but too deeply wounded? What kind of mess is this? He and Sachiko Urachi didn't have a real beginning, where did the argument come from that he was hurt too deeply? Does this guy really consider herself an aiqing expert? But she was not wrong about one thing, my sister is indeed a simple guy. Maybe it really should be to ask her in person.
It's always like there's something hanging in your heart, and Jerry doesn't like it.
"Xiexie, Nat."
"Thank me for what?" Natalie turned her head, her eyes glittering.
Jerry looked at the calm, calm Natalie who was different from usual, smiled, but did not speak.
"If you want to thank me, invite me to dinner!" Natalie said unwillingly.
"Okay." Jerry nodded without hesitation.
Did you just say yes without hesitation? Natalie was inevitably a little disappointed when she saw Jerry's reaction.
Even if there is a little hesitation, even if there is a little hesitation, Natalie will feel that there is still some kind of pimple in his heart. At least there, it existed on its own. But he didn't hesitate to agree!
"Oh~" The boys and girls who listened intently let out a burst of coaxing.
The dinner with Natalie was unfazed, Natalie didn't press every step, although she didn't act like herself now, but she still knew that if she pressed too hard, the result would not be good. In her heart, she has been thinking about the woman in Jerry's mouth.
What kind of guy is he?
Although Jerry saw Natalie's strangeness, he kept this discovery in his heart and pretended to have dinner with her as if he couldn't see anything.
She should just be a good friend now.
In the middle of dinner, Emily calls Jerry and tells him that a producer has a script and wants to invest in him.
Although the outside world has been rumoring that "Titanic" was recommended by Jerry to get an investment of $400 million from JR. Although this is also true, the investment managers of JR Investment are not just doing nothing. For "Titanic" and director James Cameron, they have also done detailed data analysis: 1984 "Terminator", the production cost was $650W, and the global box office was $7800W; 1985 "First Blood 2", the production cost was 4400W US dollars, and the global box office was 300 million US dollars; 1986 "Alien 2", the production cost 1850W US dollars, the global box office 180 million US dollars, 1991 "Terminator 2". It cost $120 million to make and $520 million at the global box office, and in 1994, True Lies, it cost $110 million to make and grossed $378 million worldwide. Except for 1989's "The Abyss", which did not perform well at the box office, James Cameron's films were each one of the acclaimed and applauded. Jerry's referral is only one aspect, and the job of JR Investment's managers is another. Even if Jerry is the de facto boss of JR Investment, it involves specific investment details. The final decision-maker is the manager of JR Investment.
Now, there is actually a producer who comes to the door directly with the script?
"Scott Rudin, that guy is called Scott Rudin."
"Scott Rudin? Not very impressed. Help me get him back. Recommending "Titanic" is just an exception, you know, I am one of the writers of "Titanic". ”
"I've turned him down several times, but Mr. Rudin still insists on seeing you. He swears that you'll be interested in his script. ”
"And such a guy? Do you know his details? ”
Born on July 14, 1958, he won an Emmy Award in 1984 for Outstanding-Childrens-Program. He won a Tony Award in 1994 for "Passion", and he is the producer of the "Addams Family" series and the "Nuns Are Crazy" series. ”
"The producer of the Nun Crazy series?" Jerry knows that this comedy, produced by Touchstone, invested $3,100W, and eventually earned $230 million worldwide.
"With Mr. Scott Rudin's experience, can't he get more investment?" Jerry asked curiously, "Hollywood studios wouldn't be so clumsy, would they?" ”
"I don't know. If you are interested in him, you can talk to him in person. ”
"Huh?"
"He's flown from California to New York."
Already in New York? Jerry tilted his head, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, Scott Rudin, a little funny, "If he calls again, I'd love to take the time to hear what he has to say." ”
"Miss Stanley's call?" Natalie asked as she cut off a steak and tilted her head.
Jerry nodded, then hung up.
The dinner with Natalie takes place at Jerry's Long Island villa, as the paparazzi at the camp can't allow him to take Natalie out foraging for food. After the Seine Tunnel terrorist attack, Jerry was taken back to Japan by Nanako Tanaka, and the paparazzi of Shijie were waiting for his evaluation of the Islamic fundamentalist group Taliban. Especially after the Taliban training camp in the Bekaa Valley was completely annihilated by Israel!
They would have liked to hear the amazing words of Magic J again.
For example, it is similar to the Great Prophecy on Royal Victoria Square.
The terrorist attack on the Seine Tunnel has added a lot of news to the paparazzi.
The steak was prepared by Ms. Rohan, but Jerry only had Ms. Rohan prepare two, so Ms. Rohan's niece, Miss Lindsay Rohan, was now sitting at the edge of the table, staring pitifully at the steak on Natalie's plate and giving her a mouthful of pasta.
Natalie squinted at Lindsay Lohan, hey~ little girl, can't you have more eyesight? Didn't you see Jerry and I having dinner? Wouldn't it be interesting to find a place to be alone? What kind of light bulb is running over the dining table?
Lindsay Lohan? Miss Lohan didn't feel the slightest sense of self-awareness, just chewing on the pasta as she vented her resentment about the steak.
However, Jerry was happy to see Lindsay Lohan present, and if the two of them were alone, Jerry couldn't guess what Natalie would do.
To be honest, he's quite "scared" of Natalie right now. (To be continued......)
