"Haode, I see, Todd, thank you for your work during this time, I'll get back to you after taking a closer look." Sean ended the call, then opened a can of beer, walked over to the floor-to-ceiling glass, and looked out at the street and drank.

The weather outside was not bad, although there was no sunshine, but it was sunny and suitable for people to go out on the streets, even Sanders ran out. But Sean didn't have the time, and stayed in the room, processing the information coming from the United States.

The battle of the Valley of the Holy Helmet has a lot of big scenes, and it will not be limited to the fight of one or a few people, and even if it is to give a close-up shot, Haldir will be ranked behind Aragorn, Leglas, and Golden Bolt - wrong, on the same level as Golden Bolt, after all, the more beautiful elf characters are more pleasing to the audience, not to mention, Sean's elf makeup is indeed handsome.

God knows what those makeup artists do, he doesn't usually look handsome, but he can be dressed up like that by their skillful hands.

In short, the result is that it is easy to shoot for two or three days, take a day off, shoot another day, and then on the weekend. After saving people that day, Sean was supposed to take a day off and shoot another day, but because of this incident, Jackson deliberately told him to take an extra day off, plus the weekend, he had almost four days off.

Sean just took the opportunity to sort out his thoughts in the past few days and put most of his energy into his own affairs, such as talking to Galen on the phone to learn about the current situation at home, listening to the voices of Pock and Lucy, and flirting with Naomi and Jordana on the phone respectively. In a week or so, Naomi will also be coming to New Zealand, and Jackson has already begun to prepare for most of the scenes in the Rohan Kingdom after the Valley of the Holy Helm, as the princess and also has an appearance in the Valley of the Holy Helm, she will not come to the crew after Sean leaves.

As for Jordana, after the filming of "Invisible Tricks", she began to rest again, going back to New York from time to time, occasionally making cameo appearances as models or something, and still has no specific arrangements for her future. But because of this movie, as well as the last time, I became very friends with Camilla, and the little girl often came to her house to play, so when she met her and talked to him on the phone, she always had to interject a sentence or two.

"Hey, you said it last time, as long as my parents agree, I can go to your place to play, and if you don't invite me over again, I will sue you for fraud!" Camila was giggling and shouting on the phone, which was a real headache.

In addition, Frederick said on the phone that there were two good script recommendations, and he also sent some of the content by email, but unfortunately Sean was not interested for the time being, and his intuition did not react.

Then, Neil is still working hard for 8% of Google's shares, and at the same time looking for suitable investment objects in the stock market, and now IT stocks have fallen sharply across the board, and Cisco, as the highest market capitalization at the time, only lasted for a month before leaking again. The bursting of the bubble is a foregone conclusion, many IT companies have gone bankrupt, and investors have avoided it.

But Neil thinks the opposite, he believes that the disaster can bring to the fore those IT stocks that really have the potential to withstand the risks, and they can take advantage of the low price to buy and then sell after the disaster has passed. Of course, this is only the lowest level, and it requires him to have the vision to pick out the quality stocks and buy them when they are seriously undervalued for market reasons, and he thinks so, and there must be people who think so.

In fact, there is no need to worry, Neil has really selected several suitable stocks from them, such as Omnicell's smart medicine cabinet system, as long as the major hospitals are still using this system, they will not worry about no income. Or Amazon, their corporate development strategy is very cautious, while other IT companies are expanding aggressively with the bubble, they are moving forward step by step, not being confused by the dazzling data, so the disaster has hardly affected them.

But Sean also looked at the matter, he has limited funds in hand, and until he has more income, unless it is a company like Google that is worth fighting for, there is no need for that. Although as the head of the investment company, Neil does not plan to hold it for a long time, but the occupation of the capital rate is still beyond the warning line, so he still does not participate, let him go to the customer by himself.

Fortunately for Neil's side, the production company in charge of Vladimir is uneasy, this middle-aged man with Russian descent still has some ability, in just half a month, the basic framework has been built, and the heads of the three departments of personnel, finance and production are there, and they only need to be further filled with manpower. At the same time, he began to look for scripts to prepare for the company's first production, and emailed them to him at Sean's request.

But the problem is that the three main departments, the others are all recruited with experience but moderate ability, but the accountant who serves as the financial director is poached from KPMG's Los Angeles accounting firm with an annual salary of 200,000 yuan! It's really hell, you must know that although Sean gave Vladimir 10% of the dry shares, his annual salary is only 200,000, and it is too ...... to dig up an accountant at the same price

"For a production company to have a foothold in Hollywood, and even to maintain vitality and surplus, in addition to production, finance is also very important. Now we can't do much in production, after all, it takes accumulation, so we can't afford to be negligent financially. That's what Vladimir said.

Well, even if an excellent accountant has an annual salary of 500,000 yuan, he can even become a partner in an accounting firm, but the question is, does a production company like them, which has just been established with 500,000 US dollars, need an accountant with an annual salary of 200,000 yuan to serve as a financial director? In this case, he will have to continue investing in less than a year.

However, Sean didn't say anything about it, since he had already said that he would be in charge of the production company before hiring Vladimir, it was impossible to regret it in less than a month.

"Hopefully we can find a good script and make some money." Sean muttered, opened his laptop and pulled up the email.

It's a pity that after spending an hour roughly browsing the three scripts that were sent, Sean was very disappointed, two campus comedies, one bloody horror, and the plot was very old-fashioned, and they were not interesting. Although these two scripts can make money if they are filmed well, they can't attract audiences without enough novelty, and there are too many low-budget movies on these two genres, and it is difficult to break through from them.

What's more, his instincts didn't react, and it wasn't that Sean relied too much on his instincts, but it was still necessary to be cautious when the production company was just taking root.

"Perhaps...... Can we remake those classic horror movies from old ones into new ones? Sean pinched his chin and suddenly came to the idea.

This is indeed possible, firstly, these classic horror films are all well-known works, which can always attract curious audiences who have not seen them but have heard the names; Then the horror film more than ten years ago, shooting jishu is definitely not as good as now, which can attract a group of audiences; Next, nostalgic middle-aged people, young people who deliberately choose horror movies with their girlfriends, are all potential audiences, and it should be no problem to make a small profit.

Thereupon...... Sean gave up this idea, it was really a pipe dream, and his current money was not enough to even buy the rights to the remake, let alone produce it. At this moment, he suddenly understood that the production companies of most celebrities in Weishenme were just empty shells, and if they wanted to run a company well, how could they do it without spending energy.

"Forget it, let's leave it to Todd to think about." He sighed.

Although Sean knows very well that Vladimirken, who has that experience, agrees to be the general manager of his small company, in addition to feeling that he is a little interesting, and more importantly, he wants to use this as a springboard to announce his return to Hollywood, so he may not stay in this position for long.

But he had to make a film that was at least passable, otherwise how would he show himself and tell everyone that he was still capable?

Close the laptop and put it back in the box, look at his messy bed, and look at Sanders's equally bad bed - because of the limited budget and the fact that he only has a supporting role, there is no suite this time, and he shares a room with his assistant.

Sean decides to go out for a walk, imagining that Los Angeles is already in summer and he's enjoying autumn, and it's also funny, isn't it?

Leaving a tip at the head of the bed and hanging a cleaning sign, he walked in the direction of the elevator. As soon as he turned a corner, he couldn't help but be stunned, because a tall woman in a trench coat was walking inside, and her face with sunglasses turned around, and then she took a step back as if she was surprised, and then quickly reached out and pressed the button in the elevator, and the two doors closed in the middle.

At that moment, Sean rushed up with an arrow step, slammed the door of the elevator that was about to close, and then stared at the woman and walked inside.

The woman stepped back, her chest rising and falling slightly, even with sunglasses in the way, she could still feel the anger and panic in her gaze behind her.

"Kate......" Sean cried, but didn't know what to say.

In the past few days, he has tried his best to find Kate to talk to alone, but she takes her assistant with her wherever she goes, and even if the assistant leaves, there will be people from other crews around her, and she is completely unapproachable. Now it's easy to stumble upon the opportunity, and she's the only one in the elevator, but he forgets how to start.

Kate? Blanchett finally reacted, and was about to run out of the elevator, but unfortunately he was a step too slow, and the door just closed in front of him, and then sank down and began to run. She leaned into the corner and made a defensive gesture, as if she would make a violent move whenever Sean passed.

Sean didn't speak, just looked at her intently as the elevator sank, and after a long time, he sighed softly, "You know, I like you, Kate." ”
