Chapter 68: Home (II)

"Alright, David, it seems that the two of us have the same idea."

"Let professional people do professional things."

Since David's decision is deeply in line with Roland's heart, then Roland naturally no longer cares about Fox's money time.

Lifting the juice, he touched David lightly, and when the jingle crunch appeared, they both laughed at the same time.

Talking to your family is pleasant, and you don't have to hide it.

"In that case, the money ......"

However, before David could say the words in his heart, Roland directly interrupted him, "It's all for you." ”

"I know, you probably don't care about these things."

"But I really can't ask you to help me find a film appointment again, and help me pay for the venue......"

"Because of the movie, your real estate has not been put on sale so far."

"Because of me, you lost a lot of money, so now, this money will be compensated to you."

Roland's words were extremely firm, and his serious expression made David nod again and again.

However, when Roland cast an affirmative look at David, the other party chuckled.

"Roland, it's really comfortable to communicate with you."

"I can see what you're thinking."

"You may think that my kindness to you is more about the guilt that came after the disaster a year ago."

"But, I can tell you that since you decided to adopt you, any guilt and estrangement is not something you need to worry about."

"No matter how much money we make, don't we end up spending it on you?"

"If it is not given to you, will it be handed over to America to support the construction resolution on the Washington side?"

"What's more, things are not as simple as you think."

"When we sign the contract, there is no agency economic relationship between us."

"I'm signed with Fox as your guardian and don't enjoy any kind of commission."

"So, in this case, I only have the right to keep the funds for you."

"If you take it, it is a gift relationship, and like the inheritance tax, it enjoys the twenty-first level excess progressive tax rate."

"Do you want to spend half of your money on supporting the construction of America?"

What?

Although Roland always felt that David would not care about the box office bonus of several million, he did not expect that in fact, as early as when he signed the contract, David had already blocked the way to collect money?

Taxes?

Now whoever mentions this with Roland, Roland will be in a hurry with whom!

If it weren't for this problem, how could he end up in a situation of poverty and whiteness?

If it weren't for the fear that the IRS, which has the third-largest armed force in the whole of America, would come to blow up his dog's head, Roland even wanted to avoid the annual tax filing period, what income tax, federal, state, local tax...... These things hurt to hear!

"Ok, you didn't think about getting the money back in the first place, did you?"

Roland, who was also happy because he had the right to choose the sequel shooting independently, rubbed his eyebrows and asked helplessly.

And after hearing his words, David just snorted softly.

"Didn't you use all the money you kept to buy gifts?"

"Ashley and Mary's princess suit costs more than four thousand, right? Ganetti's earrings and my watch add up to 10,000? Counting James's Spider-Man costume and figurines, and Elizabeth's stuffed animals, you've always had 24,000 knives that Kari hadn't used, and now there's not much left, right? ”

Although he didn't respond directly, David's rhetorical question made Roland smile bitterly.

All right......

They're all the way.

In fact, when he signed the contract, David felt that Roland's chances of getting a bonus were very slim, but even so, he still made all preparations, not for anything else, just to prevent this sensible guy from returning the money.

Provide convenience to the crew by renting out real estate, and then let the crew hand over the box office bonus to Roland.

This time and again, as long as you do it properly, you can save a lot of taxes and fees......

As for being investigated?

Come on, the income of the entertainment industry, that's quite high.

In addition, the reward condition of breaking 100 million box office cannot be artificially manipulated at all, if the IRS also defines their behavior as a disguised gift, then I am afraid that I will have to laugh off other people's big teeth when I say it......

Because this way, what is the difference between throwing money in the washing machine?

Is this really money laundering in the literal sense, or is it the kind that depends on the destiny of heaven!

And Roland spent all the 24,000 knives he had saved for half a year, and it was the same reason.

You can make it again when the money is gone, but if you can't spend the first year after the crossing, then-

You won't be able to get it back.

As soon as he thought of this, Roland instantly understood the true state of Murdoch, who had been complained about by himself before.

Money can really buy happiness.

The happiness of the rich is really so unpretentious.

"Okay, count you ruthless." Roland lifted the juice and took the initiative to tap David's glass.

"The same goes for you." David replied with a smile.

After a small sip, the helplessness that hovered in his chest made Roland give up the idea of entanglement.

"Let's change the subject and talk about Ashley and Mary."

"What's going on with them?"

"I've only been gone for three months, could it be that something happened during this period that I don't know?"

Although Roland could understand Garnetti's thoughts, it didn't mean he knew what was going on.

However, when he threw this question to David, Ben was still in control, and the guy who was extremely proud suddenly changed his face.

David, who was holding the wine glass, grinded his teeth, and after thinking for about half a minute, he sighed, lowered his head, and said helplessly: "Well, if I hadn't mentioned this matter at the dinner table, I might never have told you this......"

"I'm ...... with her"

"Quarreled ......"

How many of those guys who are in the entertainment industry are at peace in their hearts?

It's not about fame or money.

As for the guy who thought from the beginning, my special code will go down in history, and my special code will make an epic work......

Listen to these inspirational legends, because they will only survive in the biographies of successful people.

The same is true of Ganetti, who is the former.

Although while marrying David, she put away her thoughts about wandering outside.

Stay at home with your husband and children, hoping that your hard-won peaceful life can be maintained forever.

But with the popularity of the two daughters, the long-dormant idea has revived.

Garneti always hoped that Ashley and Mary would be able to fulfill her dreams.

"Spread the name throughout America, and let the figure appear in every corner of the world."

"But...... Don't you think her idea is a little unrealistic? ”

"I've argued with her many times about this."

"I hope she can give up these unrealistic ideas and let Ashley and Mary return to normal life."

There are all kinds of people in Hollywood.

There is Ben Affleck, the prodigal son who is drunk like a dream, there is a cancer like Meryl Streep, who comes home on time and goes to bed on time, there is Christopher Nolan, who rejects technology and refuses convenience, and Johnny Depp, who is proficient in all kinds of party grass...... It doesn't matter if it's something you can't think of, it's going to exist here.

In this situation, anyone will find it extremely tricky to socialize.

When you come into contact with tumors and old-fashioned things, you can do it, but if you meet those guys whose lives are extremely erosive and overly corroded by drugs and alcohol, then you can't help it, and if you don't have the same flow and dirt, you can't have a common language with those neuropaths.

In this case, it is very unrealistic for the married Garneti to want to take her two daughters on the roam.

And her interpersonal circle can also reflect the predicament she is facing now.

Except for the actors and directors of "Full House of Youth", she doesn't know any other insiders.

In such a situation, how can it be raised?

To rely on the popularity of the Olsen sisters to climb is simply a dream.

Because of this, David, who is not short of money, hopes that his wife can give up those illusions.

Taste it lightly, in moderation.

Get children back to school at an age when they should be in school.

That's what David felt was right.

Two female dolls, who don't have strong connections and want to climb to the top, aren't they dreaming?

You think you gave birth to two Barbra Streisand?

What's more, the entire Hollywood industrial system has always been dominated by men, and women are inherently weak, in this case, if you don't smoke, drink, or grass, and don't sacrifice yourself, what are the chances that you will meet those friends who really have power?

And if Ganetti is an actress who learns to do hair and raises her daughter to be a courtesan, then-

David was even more intolerable.

After knowing it with affection and moving with reason, Garneti was convinced.

However, just when she was preparing to make the lives of her two daughters gradually healthier, "Home Alone" was released.

"Before the release of Home Alone, my persistence prevailed, but after the release ......"

"Ben was persuaded by me, and she felt that hope was just around the corner."

Being able to hook up with Spielberg was an unexpected joy for Garnetty.

Before that, she also hoped that the selected Roland would be able to have more contact with the big guy.

But with a few months of silence, the other party's attitude of ignoring and ignoring made Garneti think that this signing was a personal contract related to Zemeckis.

Since it is a personal contract, there is not much advantage.

People don't bother to pay attention to you, how can you have a relationship with them?

But with the release of "Home Alone", in the face of the overwhelming press releases, Garnetty saw hope again.

It's not that people ignore you, it's that people are busy and don't have time.

Now that I know that those bigwigs have been paying attention to Roland, then-

Why can't I keep dreaming?

You David said that I can't find a backer, so now, do you still need to find it?

"So, you're arguing over this?" Roland scratched his head, feeling that the whole thing was actually quite unsolvable.

David felt that he could support a family, and Ganetti, who had eaten and drunk enough to do nothing, began to toss the moth.

In Roland's view, the whole thing is to put it bluntly, but it is actually a pain in idleness.

If the Olsen family is the pattern of the gambling king family, then where is Garnetti still having any leisure and cultivating a daughter?

directly caught James and made it to death, when will the eldest grandson be born, and when will he be relieved.

"Although I had a fight with her, she was quite sober."

It seemed to see the helplessness hidden in Roland's heart, but it was more like he wanted to maintain this relationship, David kept pulling the wine glass in his hand with his fingers, and whispered: "She killed all those guys who wanted to use Ashley and Mary's fame to make quick money, and she didn't keep urging them to run forward in order to consolidate their fame, which I am quite happy about." ”

'yes......'

There's a guy who's jumping up faster than the Olsen sisters, and if she catches up on bad movies again, isn't that a brain disease? ’

Although there was an old groove stuck in his throat and he didn't vomit unpleasantly, Roland thought about it and decided not to stimulate David.

He could understand Aunt Garnetty's thoughts, and he could understand David's mentality.

Isn't the former the same as he was a year ago?

Coming out of this circle, my heart is full of unwillingness, and since I have decided to go back, I naturally want to do my best.

Take advantage of others and use the resources at hand.

Integrate those forces that are beneficial to you and climb up with your life.

And the latter, isn't it just a father?

And what father who is not bad for money wants to see his daughter dangling in a big dye vat?

Roland thought that the family he was in at the moment would not allow him to meet a superb father like Culkin.

But—

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read!

"Okay David, I see."

"Just let me know if you need me."

"We're family, right? I'm not going to run away just after I'm famous. ”

Roland certainly didn't think he wanted to run, or rather, he didn't really think there was anything wrong with Garnetty's idea.

Isn't it a fool to have resources at hand and not to use them?

If the two had switched up, then Roland might have asked for help a long time ago.

As for David's concerns......

Naturally, this kind of thing exists.

In Hollywood, where it is possible to change interpersonal relationships once every three months, it is really difficult to protect yourself.

To be honest, he didn't really want the Olsons to divorce like in their previous life.

A harmonious family is very important for the child's development, not only for the sake of the four downstairs, but also for himself.

In this environment now, he stays comfortable, he doesn't want to stand in court and choose who to follow.

Even though he had been urinated by Elizabeth, cheated by James, and quarreled with by the other two little lolis, on the whole, he still liked it - if he needed to do something to maintain the environment, then of course he would not refuse.

Yet, these words were a surprise to David.

"Oh, Roland......"

Unfortunately, before he could say anything, the door was pushed open from the outside.

“Oh,No,Dad! Rowland! I didn't expect the two of you to steal food here! ”

James took the lead and broke in first, and behind him, there were two little loli who liked to look around.

Not only that, but after the three of them broke in, Garnetti, who was holding Elizabeth, also walked in.

When the five of them looked at the two guys on one with obscure eyes, David, who wanted to thank Roland, raised his eyebrows first, and before he could speak, he was followed by Roland's hands.

I saw him grab a cut orange and stuff it into James's mouth, not giving the other party a chance to nag, and then handed out the small cakes on the table to Ashley, Mary, and Elizabeth, and then said in a regretful tone: "Hey, you made me lose......"

"I just made a bet with David, and I said you wouldn't stop by."

"But ......"

"Or David understands you."

As he spoke, Roland also took out a steel hammer from his trouser pocket and threw it to David.

This situation made David, who wanted to cover up the content of the previous conversation, laugh even more.

'Roland is a very good kid, it's a pity that I'm cheaper now......

He took the hammer and put it to his mouth and whistled.

When the crisp sound sounded, David also cooperated with Roland, and his face was full of excitement to round the lie.

There are some things that James they don't need to know.

But while concealing, David also needed a helper who could listen to his own words.

So the current Roland can meet his requirements.

With Roland in the center, the contradiction between him and Garnetty can be weakened as much as possible.

If, when it is safe to do so, the Olsen sisters can achieve Garnetty's dream, then David will be even more satisfied.

With their intrusion, the moment of sympathy between Roland and David also came to an abrupt end.

When everyone returned to the table, they talked about the arrangements for the next few days.

Since Roland won't report back to the crew until the 5th, they want to go out and play for a few days during this time.

After a simple screening, Hawaii, the closest to Los Angeles, became their target.

"We'll spend Christmas at home tomorrow, leave the morning after tomorrow, and arrive at noon."

"We can stay there for another nine days, come back on the night of the fourth, and send Roland to the crew on the fifth."

"Oh, Roland, don't raise your hand again, I know what you're trying to say."

"Although you got the three million that you didn't pay taxes, I will pay for the cost of this trip."

"Strip away the silence caused by last year's accident, this is the first Christmas we take seriously since you arrived."

"And we'll welcome the New Year in our ocean-view villas in Honolulu, and we hope you're all ready."

When David's proclamatory words ended, the little ones at the table jumped up excitedly.

Ashley and Mary, who wanted to go out to play, raised their hands and shouted yes, and the little chubby dun directly threw the fruit peel in his hand, as for Elizabeth, who didn't understand anything?

With Garnetty's help, she also raised her right hand stupidly.

And just as they cheered excitedly, Roland and David looked at each other, and both saw the satisfaction in each other's eyes.

Roland lamented David's concession.

David rejoiced at Roland's promise.
