Chapter 284: Sense and Emotion
When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is staring at you.
David ran east and west for Roland, so Roland helped David take care of the children.
Roland's leisure has always been based on David's busyness, after the Oscars, countless contracts followed, in the face of those cooperation that often started in the nine-figure range, David did not dare to let go even if he hired a manager, so he had to take control of the overall situation himself.
According to David's plan, this kind of long-term business must not be the same as the previous clothing business, looking for a foundry to OEM, acquiring a mature jewelry design factory, or buying a production line from a second- or third-tier brand that is not doing well, is the most secure way to operate.
But when David first contacted the seller in New York, Roland coincidentally threw the Yahoo sale case to him.
After understanding that Yahoo is the present and RK is the future, it has become David's purpose to grasp both hands and be hard with both hands.
As a result, Garnetty, who had been in New York for many years and knew a little about the jewelry business, was dragged away by her husband.
David was in charge of negotiating with Carl Icahn, while Garneti took over the research for the jewelry design factory.
Of course, that's how it was done, but it wasn't said that way.
Before leaving, David was a very 'tsundere' threat to Roland-
"If the three of them sue me when I come back, then you can do these negotiations yourself!"
Although Roland knew that David was just complaining casually, since the words came out, he was still under pressure.
After all, the Olsen sisters are twelve years old, and Elizabeth is also nine years old, and they have long passed the point where they can be deceived by a lollipop, and if they want to draw portraits like they did back then, they are dreaming! So don't look at Roland didn't go to the negotiating table, just nestled at home as a baby, but in fact, his daily life has always been occupied by busyness.
Wake up at 6 a.m. every day and run briskly for 45 minutes on the treadmill in the gym.
A wake-up call service was launched at seven o'clock to coax Kate, who was angry to get up.
Since they did not like to live with the servants, they had to make their own breakfast, and then Roland would go into the kitchen, and at about half past seven, when the eggs and the frying pan came into close contact, and when there was a sizzling sound, Kate could be heard shouting to the three little ones to get up.
After breakfast, take a simple shower, and drop Elizabeth off at school by nine o'clock.
As for Ashley and Mary......
Kate would stay at home with them until the governess arrived.
When the three little ones have all entered the normal state of study, Roland also returned home, and then Kate will take him to the mansion in Malibu to take a walk, check the progress of the renovation, and when he returns, he will bring things to the three little ones depending on the situation.
If nothing else, they would go home at noon to eat with the Olsen sisters, and in the afternoon it would be relatively open, but there was no such thing as having fun, after all, they had to get Elizabeth back before four o'clock.
That's why it's night......
The sooner the three little ones go to bed, the easier it will be for the two of them.
After all, when taking care of children, you have to pay far more than physical strength, more often you need to answer the children's whimsical ideas, and for a guy like Roland who is not innocent, most of the time, he plays the role of the topic terminator, if there is no Kate coaxing on the side, he believes that the three little ones would have kicked their noses in the face, pried open his brain, and then left with a disappointed face, but the shell lang who passed by was in front of him...... Bah!
He just watched everything with realistic eyes, and couldn't keep up with the child's innocent rhythm!
But he is not naΓ―ve, it does not mean that Kate has lost her dream, after receiving the ring, Kate stalked Roland, wanting to know the truth of the matter, and when Roland told Kate all the transactions, and did not even hide the reason for the birth of the RK brand, Roland, who thought Kate would be angry, found that this guy looked at him with a foolish smile.
Such behavior made Roland very strange.
Because he thinks that few women will accept the fact that their men make a red fruit deal behind their backs.
There are few women who are willing to accept the businessman thinking of selling love.
But when Kate saw the hair in his heart, he was curious and asked what he thought, but when Kate knew Roland's opinion, the satisfied girl rolled on the bed laughing and rolling.
"Deal? It's because of the transaction that I love you more! β
"If I'm worthless, then I'm not Susan Buffett?"
"If you meet your own Catherine Graham, won't I be out of the game?"
"Now, we have RK, the more valuable this brand is, the less likely it is for us to be separated, although it sounds unkind, but for me it is the biggest guarantee, you think I may not be able to accept it, but I really like this gift."
Such an answer made Roland laugh dumbly, but after thinking about it, he felt that it made sense.
Kate's goal is to dominate him, and countless transactions can allow Kate to dominate him, although the means are very cruel, but as long as the result is the same, isn't it enough? As Kate said, there are few women who want to be Susan Buffett.
All women want to be like Katherine Graham, who has been dominating their favorite guys for a long time.
And the only thing that can do all this is profit.
Because of this, when everything was clarified, Kate naturally helped Roland to nurse the child.
Roland only talks to children about reality?
It doesn't matter!
The innocent topic of children, she can take over!
Think Roland is a topic stopper?
It's okay!
Just ignore that idiot!
Knowing how powerful her hole cards were, Kate became unscrupulous; If she hadn't wanted to wait for Roland to retire from the circle next year and experience the sacred moment of wearing a wedding dress, she would have lost the raincoat used by little Roland a long time ago.
And Roland......
Family Status - 1-1-1......
Although Kate has been teasing him in front of the three little ones, and the long-term 'call' has made him have no prestige, but after watching the fat grows well, the little bean sprouts on his head have a tendency to transform into overlord flowers, and he is often amused by Roland's suffocating behavior and laughs, Roland is actually happy.
Of course, this kind of thing is actually relative, after Ketra talked with Roland about "lawn mowing and maintenance", "safety precautions for deep well operations", "strawberry cultivation and development", "learning and trying diversified occupations" and a series of topics that Roland is super interested in, what can he do in the process of chatting a little unscrupulously?
When Kate appeared in the black and white uniform of medieval England, Roland was excited and friendly to experience life with her!
Life without passion will eventually end up in a pool of stagnant water, and passion and peace are interdependent, which is the driving force for people to move forward!
Because of this, after leveling the three curious Lala, the two of them returned to the house to study the history of various countries, and after a period of pleasant but exhausting learning for both parties, Kate, who had taken a shower, lazily nestled on the sofa, letting the honor student Roland help her blow her hair, and the buzzing sound also reminded her of something.
"What's going on with Harry Potter? Isn't it going to make a movie? Why is there no news again? β
"Lizzie, they've asked you so many times, and you haven't answered them directly, what's the matter? Is this a secret that cannot be told? β
After sending away Peter Jackson and Kevin Feige, Warner also sent someone to negotiate the filming of "Harry Potter" while Roland asked David to help him sell his Yahoo shares.
Although the book has only been on the market for three months, in addition to America, it has also begun to distribute goods in the corrupt country, but this does not prevent the official opening of the film and television project, after all, according to the current sales scale of America, an investment of 100 million is fully worthy.
But the problem is that when both parties want to shoot, the "Harry Potter" project did not reach a quick consensus with Warner like "The Lord of the Rings" and "X-Men", and the crux of the problem......
"The project is a mess right now." Roland opened his palms, held Kate's hair and let it spread out, and took the hair dryer and used the air-cooled gear to blow from the roots of the hair, "Steven wants to direct this project, but he has too much work at hand, he and Warner have a "Artificial Intelligence" project that has not yet started, and he owes Fox a "Minority Report". β
"Don't look at the fact that there are only two movies that he has finalized for the time being, but there are a lot of troubles in them."
"Minority Report was obtained by Brian Palma for Tom Cruise, so the protagonist can only be him."
"But the problem is that Tom is now filming Stanley Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Open", which was originally a Warner movie, and then he is going to make the award-winning film "Magnolia", which is a project of Warner's New Line Film Company, and then Paramount's "Mission Impossible 2" is waiting for him, similarly, in order to repay Tom for his years of perseverance, Paramount's "Vanilla Sky", which promised him to win the award, will be opened immediately after the filming of "Mission Impossible 2" is over, so ......"
"Steven's "Minority Report" cannot be filmed for the time being."
"He can only go to shoot "Artificial Intelligence" first."
"But if you shoot "Artificial Intelligence" first, and then "Minority Report", then the problem comes."
"According to my agreement with Warner, the release time of "Harry Potter" is basically in 01 year, and if it wants to be released in 01 year, and it is still filmed by Steven, then "Minority Report" will have to continue to be postponed ......"
"But it's impossible, and Fox can't wait indefinitely."
"With many of Tom's projects being invested by Warner, it is impossible for Warner to let Tom shoot other films first to squeeze out time for Steven, and similarly, Steven cannot wait for Tom indefinitely, so things are at an impasse."
Roland shrugged his shoulders and expressed his helplessness.
That's right, with Roland's involvement, Spielberg did not struggle with the issue of the all-British team as he did in his previous life.
The Jews want to praise Haley Osmont?
But I've already signed an all-British adaptation contract with the author of Harry Potter!
Don't embarrass me!
If it were someone else, the Jewish gang would definitely struggle with this kind of issue for a long time, and in the end, it would be unpleasant like in the previous life, but the problem is that Roland is Steven's student! He spread his hands, indicating that there was no way, and the old man was too lazy to beep......
Of course, the main thing is to take care of Roland's family harmony.
Kate's roots, in the UK, are in the British entertainment industry, if Roland tears it up without authorization under the contract of signing the all-British team, then they are really not people inside and out, and the old man who understands this stubble will naturally not force him.
"So the current situation is that this movie can't be made for the time being?"
At the same time that Roland turned off the hair dryer, Kate also raised her hand to brush her hair, and she was very satisfied with the soft touch.
"yes, I can't shoot it." Roland threw the hair dryer aside, and when he saw Kate open her arms begging for a hug, he bent down and spread her hands and threw her back on the bed in a princess hug position.
"Then this movie, does it have to be made by Steven?"
"Of course! Steven is the best person to choose from, there is no one......"
If he is running movies like "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Terminator", then Roland will definitely continue to use the original director, because those guys are the ones who play a decisive role, but "Harry Potter"......
Roland really thinks that as long as the director's narrative ability is okay and the sense of rhythm is good, then whoever shoots it will be the same.
And in this case, Spielberg is clearly the best guy.
Because he brings his own box office!
Not to mention, after he filmed, that was twenty years ago when he watched ". The group of people now take their children to watch "Harry Potter", and this sense of heritage is much better than Disney's Mickey Mouse Club and Disneyland!
Twenty years ago you watched my movies, and twenty years later your family watched my movies......
I'm like a cancer, dominating the screen and not moving!
But just when Roland felt that Spielberg was the best candidate, Kate, who was applying a mask there, suddenly said, "What if Steven really can't shoot it?" Don't you want to give it a try? β
"You've been practicing since "Captain Hook", "Jurassic Park", "Forrest Gump", "Spider-Man", "Titanic", which movie doesn't have you? Since those critics can't see the difference, don't you want to shoot it yourself? β
"After the filming of "Spider-Man 2 and 3", you just don't act, is it possible...... Are you really out of the circle? β
WhatοΌ
Kate's question stopped Roland, glanced at the other party, and after not seeing any clues, Roland said: "I don't quit the circle, and I don't want to be a director, I'm too tired, okay?" β
"How easy it is to be an investor and leave things to others!"
A long time ago, Roland envied the teacher Xu next door who was about to open a new map.
Put your hands in your pockets and watch the tool man director toss slowly.
How tired he is!
Of course, as soon as Kate mentioned the director, Roland felt that she meant something else, "Are you too bored at home and want to find something to do?" "The Lord of the Rings" is just starting over there, why don't you go there and hang up a producer? β
"I'll let Catherine stare at that movie, if you don't understand anything, just ask her."
But as soon as Roland said this, Kate, who was still wearing a mask with her eyes closed, suddenly shook her head, "No." β
"I was just thinking that if you become the director of Harry Potter, then I can go back to live in England."
"A movie is made for seven or eight months, so I can go home almost once every six months, and stay for half a year at a time."
"California is good, but ......"
Kate didn't say anything halfway through, but the loneliness on her body made Roland understand her thoughts.
"Homesick?"
"Hmm."
"If you feel homesick, go home! I'm not a demon! When David comes back, you give him a few addresses and ask him to go to England to buy us a property. Although I don't want to be a director, it's okay to stay with you home for a while every year......"
"Really?" As soon as these words came out, Kate suddenly opened her eyes and found that Roland was sitting aside to look at her reaction, she was full of joy and got up directly and kissed Roland's face, "Mua~Thank you~"
Roland's familiar actions are no longer strange, and for this kind of insincere thanks, Roland naturally feels that it is not enough.
"Kate."
"Huh?"
"I don't think you're a good person."
βWhatοΌβ
"Why do I have to show my gratitude to you when I have to show it in kind, and you only need to say it verbally to thank me? It's so unfair to me, okay? β
Hearing this, Kate was stunned for a moment, and when she found the smile hidden in the corner of Roland's eyes, she immediately hooked the corners of her mouth, and asked in a flattering tone: "Then what do you want to actually express?" The last time you said you wanted to see me in a maid's outfit, I made a special order for Victorian clothes, all kinds of styles, isn't that a practical expression? β
"Count, but not enough!" Roland continued.
"And what do you want? Didn't you even get those clothes on again? β
Kate angrily rewarded Roland with a hygienic eye, raised her hand and elbowed him, "You're too greedy." β
"Wow, are you meeting me for the first day? I've always been greedy, okay? Roland pretended to be surprised, and his expression was exaggerated.
Seeing that Kate was about to raise his hand to hit him, he put away his laughter and said, "However, what I want this time is not role-playing, but I want to discuss something with you......"
"What's the matter?"
"Tomorrow, will you let me go alone?"
Hearing this, Kate blinked, not understanding what Roland was saying.
After she thought about it for a while, she laughed and twisted Roland's arm with a laugh, "Okay! β
"I find that I really can't satisfy you guy! If you meet one thing, your next request will be increased, if you meet your next thing, the next request will be even more excessive! β
"You want to leave me behind? Go on your own tomorrow? β
"Yes!"
"I dare you go alone tomorrow, but after you go, do you dare to come back at night?"
"Huh?"
Feeling the deepening pain in his arm, Roland quickly admitted, "I just said it casually......"
"Don't be angry...... Don't be angry......"
"How could I not take you with me for such a thing as choosing a heroine?"
"I'm just worried that the three of them won't be taken care of when we're all gone......
"Eh! Don't screw it, don't screw it! If you're screwing, believe it or not, our shower was for nothing! β
It's a pity that the words of confession didn't work.
And after finding that Kate was still pouting and staring at herself, Roland, who was too lazy to explain with her mouth, went straight to it.
Roll over, raise your hand, and push hard.
Flee left, flash right, and eventually fall.
When Kate used the rabbit to kick the eagle and begged for mercy, Roland, who was ruthless, directly tickled the skin.
Soon, there was a sense of joy in the air.
