Chapter 218: $500,000 Script!
California, Los Angeles!
Located on the east side of the Pacific Ocean on the shores of San Pedro Bay and Santa Monica Bay, there is a zip code with the "90027" area, which is known as Hollywood, or also known as Hollywood, Tinseltown.
Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the scenery is pleasant.
Many famous film companies are located here, so it is often associated with American movies and movie stars, Hollywood is the world's famous film center, and the annual Oscars held here are the world's cinema events.
Hollywood is not only the birthplace of global fashion, but also the center of the global music and film industry, with the world's top entertainment industry and luxury brands, leading and representing the highest level of global fashion.
And in Paramount Pictures.
Doug who just got to work today. Mary was stopped by the secretary.
"Ms. Mary, a fax from Boston has been placed on your desk, signed Charlie. Longfellow. Said the secretary in the OL skirt.
"Okay, thanks."
Doug. Mary smiled and nodded, she is almost sixty years old at this age, even if she is well maintained, she can see the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and she walked into the office with a bag in her hand, as the leader of the Paramount giant, the company gives her a salary of 3.7 million US dollars and other benefits every year, and this office is at least close to 120 square meters.
She casually put her bag on the table and saw a fax next to her computer.
It says Doug please. Ms. Mary used her resources to buy a script about an arms dealer, and she was willing to invest $500,000 and more than $60 million.
"Tut-tut... This damn rich man. ”
Doug. Mary muttered, this trick may not be in the top ten in Hollywood investment, in today's increasingly commercialized world, Jinyuan movies are also a means of self-breakthrough, that is, to throw money, smash money, and smash money!
Could it be that the Longfellow family is also going to enter the film and television industry?
No, in that case, they could have bought a film and television company with publishing qualifications, and there are many small companies like Hollywood.
She couldn't figure it out, so she could only attribute it to the luxury of the rich, pressed the phone on the table, leaned over and said, "Miss Adeline, please come in." ”
The secretary's voice rang on the other end of the phone, and as soon as he hung up, there was a knock on the door, and the secretary pushed the door in, "Ms. Mary." ”
"Get the news out there, finish it as soon as possible, and if someone has a script that satisfies us, we can hire him as the screenwriter for the slammon." Doug. Mary handed over the fax and added one herself, which can connect the rich and make it easier to attract investment in the future.
Paramount hasn't been easy in recent years, and those DreamWorks and Universal Pictures have all made a fortune, what about him? This acre of land is about to be wiped out, and it's all tears, Doug. Mary is the fourth president of the company in three years.
"Buy me a plane ticket to Boston." She said suddenly.
Maybe I have to go and see this rich man, maybe I can get some investment?
Miss Secretary nodded hurriedly, "Okay! I'll arrange it. ”
Watching the other leave, Ms. Mary sat down in her chair and sighed, looking out the window with tired eyes.
Under the prosperity, it is also struggling.
…
$500,000 to seek an arms dealer script!
This news suddenly exploded in Hollywood and even the whole of Los Angeles, and even vaguely had a tendency to expand outward, although it has not yet fully entered the Internet age, but it has also entered the information age, and the eagle sauce boss can release any brand of tableware used in the White House tonight.
This money is equivalent to three years' salary of a middle-class person!
Who isn't crazy?
In Los Angeles, the city that never sleeps, in addition to the adult product store, there is only an image store that is still open at seven or eight o'clock.
Andrew Nichol, 27, pressed his hands on the glass case and looked up at the near-frantic voices of the news anchors and the laughter of the guests on the television.
"This woman laughed so badly, I thought my ducks were arguing." Next to him, a fat man with a white stomach and gray temples was leaning against the wall, still holding half a loaf of bread in his hand, and he turned his head to look at Andrew, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, "Hey, man, I remember you used to be a screenwriter in New Zealand, right?" How about interested? ”
"No kidding, Brolo."
Who knew that as soon as he finished saying this, a black man came out of the cubicle, wearing a green hat and looking strange, "This is 500,000!" It's not the community's 50 yuan, do you think it's so easy to get? Those damn rich people love to watch the poor go crazy, they like the way you haven't seen the world, and, Andrew, you've been rejected by 17 studios, and all you want to do now is make money and get out of this bastard Los Angeles. ”
This black man is full of resentment towards the city as if he has suffered some great grievance!
People who are full of helplessness also hope that others will accept the reality of helplessness like him, if this salted fish really turns over, won't there be no more people to laugh at in the future?
"Shut your foul mouth, Angie!" The fat man Brulo frowned, he really wanted to take the bread and stuff it into the other party's mouth.
If it weren't for the fact that labor is too expensive now, he really wouldn't have hired a black man, which is terrible, the other party likes to bring his personal affairs to work, and he complains and complains every day, which is just... It's like a gelding dog in the pasture that has spring but nowhere to vent!
Hearing that the boss was angry, the black man just snorted twice in his nostrils, turned around and left, but still muttered, "What we have to do is to support ourselves, not to have that empty dream of getting rich." ”
Brullo glared at the other man, looked at Andrew, who was still full of hope and finally a little disappointed, and patted him on the shoulder. comforted, "Failure may be the best foreshadowing for success, everyone encounters his own success, don't listen to others, you just touch your chest and tell yourself, I, and dreams." ”
Andrew Nicol subconsciously touched his left chest and lowered his head, "Me, still have dreams?" ”
From childhood in my hometown of Paraparalam, New Zealand, I watched the first movie "The Lone Killer", which is a love letter to the killer. The composition is elegant, the atmosphere is too good, and the loopholes can be completely ignored.
As a child, Andrew wondered if a real-life killer would burst into tears if he watched this one. A gun without bullets, pseudo-hunting leads to real assassination, and death on the road of no return in this life, perhaps this is the only dignity that a killer wants to maintain.
He is lonely, but because of this, he is different from metrics.
This movie planted a seed called a dream in the young heart.
"I have dreams! I came to Hollywood for my dreams. Andrew spoke, his voice tired but also frenzied.
Brulo, the fat boss, raised his hand, "If life deceives you, then you rape her!" Let her become your woman, and then abandon her viciously, and not allow life to abandon you! ”
"Hmm!"
Andrew's eyes flashed, he nodded heavily, the boss smiled and stuffed the last bite of bread into his mouth, and then turned to leave, this turn, the smile on his face was long gone, and he looked preoccupied.
"But live... It's not that easy to do. ”
……
"A $500,000 Homicide? 》
Tang Dao smiled and rolled up the Boston Today newspaper and put it on the table, this topic is very eye-catching, especially the quote from Paramount Navigator Doug . Mary's words, "We only hope someone can take it, if he likes cash, of course." ”
This adds fuel to the fire.
"What kind of lead actor should I choose? Nicholas. Cage? Or Stallone? ”
Tang Dao is still more interested in the company's first movie, if this is done well, it can completely beat the company's fame, and then borrow the east wind of the death of the woolly bear, he can ensure that almost every war zone has its own goods.
Entertainment and arms are not conflicting.
Knock knock.
After a knock on the door, the secret service bodyguard Abbey. Adler (the blue blood) pushed the door in, "Boss, Mr. Carroll and his assistant are here. ”
"Invite them in."
This Freddie Mac is the only two real estate developers in the United States, and one is Fannie Mae, I heard that Lao Mei is injecting capital behind it, no matter what country, state-owned enterprises are cattle.
After about four or five minutes, I saw a bald white man come up with two female assistants.
Not to mention, these two women have quite big crotches.
A real estate agent is a more decent position in the United States.
According to some data, 90% of real estate agents have a university degree, 45% have a bachelor's degree, and 20% have a personal assistant. In the more prosperous years of the U.S. real estate market, real estate agents also earn a lot of money. With the accumulation of years of work and experience, the income of real estate agents in the United States has also risen, and the annual salary of agents who have been in the industry for many years is higher than that of doctors and university teachers.
This broker is different from an intermediary.
The buyer and seller basically do not meet directly, and the brokers of both sides come forward and play games with each other. It can be said that 85% of real estate transactions in the United States are done through the services of brokerage companies. According to conservative estimates, there are about 1 million people in the United States who work in real estate.
Specialized in bargaining.
Carol specializes in serving high-end people, he has seen too many rich people, but it is the first time he has seen such a strong guard, this standing position is a little reflective, this time I came in, I saw a figure standing up, I couldn't see the face clearly, but the silhouette looked young, and when I walked over, I could see it clearly.
Very young!
Asian!
Plutocrat!
These three words exploded in Carol's mind in an instant, but for a moment he suppressed this thought, and greeted politely, he also learned the etiquette of high society, otherwise, how could he earn millions of dollars a year?
You get as much as you can get in return, and you don't necessarily get paid off because that's chicken soup.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Nicholas, I am a senior agent at Freddie Mac and it is a pleasure to serve you."
"You're welcome, please be seated." Tang Dao said.
This made Carol breathe a sigh of relief, and it seemed that the rich man was still very talkative.
However, the female assistant next to her kept looking at Tang Dao with her eyes.
After all, a young and handsome rich man like him is loved by everyone, and the American (**** movement has only been long.
