"Oh~Roland~" When the fat and thin head shouted in surprise for Roland's appearance, the white-haired Frank Biondi had already greeted him warmly, "It's a pleasure to see you~"

At the same time, he also glanced at his watch with the jingle of the bell ringing with lightning speed, and then laughed and said, "You arrived ten minutes earlier than the agreed time~"

"This is the advantage of living close~"

Roland responded with a smile, "It doesn't take ten minutes to drive from Sherman Oakes." ”

In the face of the open arms, Roland hugged him very well, but to be honest-

He really didn't know who this bad old man was!

But it doesn't matter if he doesn't know him, after touching and parting, Kate, who took the initiative to reach out to the old man, gave her man a wake-up call.

"Mr. Biondi, I heard about you from Uncle Kenneth a long time ago......"

"In the two cases of Viacom's acquisition of Paramount and CBS, you were a big contributor to all parties! Uncle Kenneth also often said that if Viacom had bought CBS two years earlier, his "Die Again" would not have landed on NBC! ”

How could an old man, who is a human spirit, not understand the meaning of Kate's words?

Laughing in the face of the praise, handshake friendly at the same time, he also reported to his home, said: "Wow ~ thank you ~ Those are a few years ago, since I joined the world in 96, it has been a long time since no one helped me miss the past." ”

"We won't talk about the past, life, always have to look forward~"

Speaking of this, he suddenly slapped his head and said in a tone of sudden realization: "Oh! When people are old, their memory is a little bad, today you are here to talk about the project with Lang, what is it for me to join in the fun of an old man blocking the door? Lang~Lang~Lang~"

At his call, Ron Meyer, who had been acting as a backdrop wall in the back, immediately appeared.

Not only that, but Stacy Schneider, the president of Universal Pictures, also flashed out.

The middle-aged man wearing round-framed black glasses nodded his head, his face full of smiles, and his facial features were about to be squeezed together.

"Roland~Kate~Hello~We're meeting again~"

After a brief greeting, he went straight to the point and explained, "The content of our previous communication was, 'Strive to finalize the project of "X-Men" today', but after learning that you will come to the scene to check it personally, the chairman who happens to be in Los Angeles to handle film and television official business decided to take a look, because your movies are always big hits, so we also want to learn from the advanced experience......

As soon as Ron Meyer's words fell, the old man's smile was answered, "Yes! Studying, simple learning, just have time! ”

"Oh~ I see?"

In this way, Roland instantly guessed the cause and effect.

"I thought you were here to check the accounts!" Roland complained lightly, "After Sony had accounting problems. ”

"How is that possible! The X-Men project was funded by both of us, and there is no way there will be a problem with the accounts! ”

The old man who got the meaning of Roland's words shook his head again and again, and while he denied it, Roland also laughed and shook hands with the CEO and president of Universal Pictures.

"Sidney~Long time no see~"

"Long time no see~Roland~"

"Danny~Hello~"

"Hello~Roland~"

"Julia ~ You ......"

“Oh！ Don't say to me, 'Why are you pretty again?' ', your fiancée is watching from behind~"

"Hahaha~"

The joking words made everyone around them burst into laughter.

Although he became the object of ridicule, Roland was not angry, but very happy.

Because this is the first day of retirement, life is very good!

Yes, in Roland's view, retirement is not only a farewell to the past, but also a welcome to a new beginning.

After retirement, he will have more time to do what he wants to do.

Guns that you have learned before and can be forgotten can now be picked up;

Like the high-altitude skydiving that I played before, but didn't have time to try it again, I can continue it now;

Guys like Harrison Ford and John Travolta all have aircraft licenses, and now they can try to get them;

Other than that......

The complaints I had when I watched "007: GoldenEye" with James Olsen can now be put into action!

No, when Roland received a report from Kevin Feige and learned that the crew of "X-Men" had been formed and was ready to invite actors to audition according to the discussion list, Roland, who was very interested in it, should come to watch (close) the motorcycle.

On the day he made his decision, Ron Meyer, who heard the news, also sent a message through Kevin Feige, saying that Universal Pictures was optimistic about the entire project, and at the same time showed his willingness to communicate with Roland face-to-face.

Although the wording is rigorous, how could Roland not understand what the other party meant?

After Universal was acquired by Schgeland again, the results were all hung by the Jewish Gang, and after seeing the success of "Spider-Man", they felt that the comic book movie had a lot to offer, so they naturally wanted to keep the mutant IP in Universal for a long time!

In this way, currying favor with the copyright owner becomes the only option.

At the beginning, in order to solve the problem of Roland's portrait authorization, Universal teamed up with Sony, Fox, and Disney to arch him on the Forbes Hollywood power list.

The method of grabbing is useless, and it is normal for the knees to be weak!

That's why Roland told Kate this morning that he wanted to be someone else's father!

Because he had already guessed that Universal Pictures, which was eager for results, would become a licking dog!

Doesn't this kind of happy thing have to be shared with your daughter-in-law?

Roland doesn't want to expose his net worth in front of the public, but that doesn't mean he doesn't like stinky farts!

Although this kind of childish thing may be disgusted by Kate, but-

He's happy right now, isn't that enough?

As for the appearance of Frank Biondi, the biggest boss of the Universal Group?

This was really unexpected by Roland, but when you think about it, it actually makes sense.

It doesn't matter if outsiders don't know Roland's identity, and tool people can understand Roland's depth if they can't figure it out, but if the bigwigs in the circle can't find out Roland's details, then they won't be confused......

Maybe at first, they really thought that Overwatch Ventures was David Olson's business, but since Roland took the initiative to participate in Berkshire Hathaway's shareholder meeting, these statements to the public are bullshit in their eyes!

"Forbes" may not know Roland's net worth, because the main source of "Forbes" is actually the active reports of other media, but how can they, who are closely connected to the media, not know how many things Roland is hiding?

When visiting Seattle, Roland's favorite place to visit is the home of Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates!

When he went to San Francisco, Roland got off the plane and got into the apple!

While filming in New York, Ronald Perelman's house, Roland, lived! Carl Icahn's villa Roland has been! Roland's fiancée Kate and David Shaw's girlfriend were dressed up in disguise, and the matter of shopping in New York was actively covered up by reporters!

Not to mention, in order to vote for Google, Roland is still shaking people all over the world!

In this case, as long as these guys don't have bad brains, they can all guess that David Olsen is just a shield!

And in March of this year, the act of investing in Gilead and tinkering with "Black Hawk Down" was clearly captured by these real bigwigs in the eyes of the people, and when they found out that Roland had inexplicably hooked up with the warmongers......

The day Roland got rid of his identity as a tool man! It's the day they come to make friends!

Since you're no longer acting, then we won't pretend!

It doesn't matter if you're the face of warmongers or the richest in the investment world, we can all be good friends!

Because the former is definitely not to be provoked, and the latter...... After a simple calculation of Roland's net worth, they suddenly found that Roland had more cash in his hands than most listed companies!

RBQ！ RBQ！

Because of this, after learning that Roland was coming to the world, Frank Biondi appeared.

He represents not only Universal Pictures, but also Universal Music, and himself!

Compared with relying on the sale of DuPont shares to nourish the second generation of sand sculptures in the entertainment company, investors who can talk and laugh with Warren Buffett and be friends with Carl Icahn are more promising!

As the chairman of Universal Music, of course he knows that don't look at Universal Music's glamorous appearance, but after the acquisition of Polygram, the 9 billion cash in the hands of the rich second generation of sand sculptures has bottomed out!

If you can't find a source of funds, then there is only one way out!

In this case, as the chairman, he naturally had to find a way out for himself first.

Although this does not mean that he has recognized Roland, it never hurts to know more people.

Of course, he did it all, Forbes......

Before, because of the media group, Forbes did not report Roland, and now those warmongers who can't figure out the situation are watching from the sidelines, "Forbes" is even if it is a cat with nine lives, they won't report it!

Do you see those who have anything to do with selling arms, which one has been reported?

David Olsen in a frenzied reduction in Yahoo?

Oh!

Then his net worth is falling!

Why?

Because the stock he holds is gone!

As for the money cashed out?

Until there is a real hammer catalog, we in Forbes will not fake!

So, when Roland greeted everyone and took the initiative to call Kevin Feige and ask him to take him to business, Frank Biondi, the chairman of Universal Music, who came specifically to make friends, really followed up with his old legs like a student.

And Long Meyer, chairman and CEO of Universal Pictures, turned around and greeted the people who stayed in place, nodded and explained where they were going, and then shouted and chased after them.

As for Global President Stacy Schneider......

This more easy-going female president instructed the secretary to stay on the spot, let him meet the needs of everyone, and after the trivial things were instructed, she stepped on high heels, and then trotted all the way in the direction where everyone disappeared.

…………

As the saying goes, there are clouds –

Society is like a big tree full of monkeys, looking up is full of butts, looking down is full of smiling faces, and looking left and right is full of ears and eyes.

But this sentence is actually not appropriate.

Because in the process of monkeys climbing trees, they will have changes that are anti-common sense and anti-human.

All qualified social elites will learn to aggrigate their own nature in the process of climbing trees, and even more, they will also transform their own nature, the most typical manifestation is to show the corresponding emotions at the right time.

Just like now, even if Roland hadn't met Frank Biondi, hadn't dealt with Ron Meyer, and didn't know Stacey Schneider at all, they were still able to communicate with old friends as smoothly as Kevin Feige ushered them into the audition hall and went out to greet the staff and ask them to invite the candidates into the show in order.

"Roland?" Frank Biondi took a sip of the coffee brewed by Stacy Schneider.

"Huh?" Roland, who was looking down at the audition list, replied casually.

"I heard you used to hate auditions the most?" Frank Biondi said with a smile: "The last audition for "Spider-Man 2 and 3", you ran away in the middle of the audition, why did you suddenly want to come and see it this time?" ”

Since Frank Biondi dared to come, he naturally inquired about Roland's preferences.

In the face of his inquiry, Roland was not surprised to say nonsense: "I hate auditions because I have auditioned hundreds of times for a play, but if I act as an audition examiner and give others problems, I am still willing to do it!" ”

Audition hundreds of times for a play?

How could Frank Biondi believe this nonsense?

Who in the circle doesn't know that Roland's debut masterpiece "Home Alone" was won by relationship?

Later, nepotism was used to block the way of other competitors!

But even if he felt that Roland was fooling, he didn't mean to debunk it, but continued: "Oh? Is that so? ”

"I thought you liked Marvel, so after "X-Men" entered the casting process, you came to the scene to control the overall situation!"

"After all, on the Lord of the Rings side, you seem to have lost all your work to Peter Jackson?"

"On the Harry Potter side, it's all taken over by Catherine Kennedy?"

Frank Biondi is really right!

Of the three projects of "Harry Potter", "The Lord of the Rings" and "X-Men", Roland is most worried about "X-Men", because "Harry Potter" and "The Lord of the Rings" have skilled workers to open the way, and only the "X-Men" project is run by Kevin Feige, a newcomer who has a big brain and generates electricity for love, but does not work in Hollywood.

Under Peter Jackson's management, the casting of "The Lord of the Rings" ended last month, Frodo is played by Elijah Wood, Aragon is returned to Viggo Mortensen, Gandalf is still Magneto Ian McKellen, Cate Blanchett and Liv Taylor have not escaped the clutches of the Elven Queen and Elven Princess.

As for Hugo Weaving?

As an elf king, how could he run away?

Roland is of course deeply relieved that the starring list is very similar, and at the same time, there is good news on the side of "Harry Potter", Daniel Radcliffe, who has entered the casting list of Catherine Kennedy.

He was chosen, which is actually a very good thing to understand.

Because his father is the agent in the circle, and his mother works for the BBC.

Of course, the relationship between the parents is not the point, because their existence does not make Daniel Radcliffe one step into the sky, but Daniel Radcliffe's mother's ethnicity has helped him a lot.

Daniel Radcliffe's mother, who is Jewish.

According to the theory of descent, Daniel Radcliffe, too, is Jewish!

That's right, in Roland's previous life, Rowling's unabashedly racist sold the filming rights at the same time, it was a mandatory requirement that all the actors have to be selected from the UK!

Although the conditions were relaxed later, it was only Ireland that was selected!

In this case, Steven Spielberg, who wants to choose his own actors, naturally will not get used to each other, and at the same time as he leaves, how can Chris Columbus, a disciple who took over, not avenge his teacher?

You don't want us to choose Americans?

No problem!

Then let's choose a Jew with British citizenship!

Do you want to praise the British?

Yes!

But Hollywood is still what we Jews say!

Although in this life, with the intervention of Roland, the old man gladly accepted the project.

But under the control of Catherine Kennedy, Daniel Radcliffe still became Harry Potter's first choice.

Because, choosing him can not only maintain the face of the old man, but also let everyone who wants to get into Hollywood know! In the realm of Hollywood, contracts are far less effective than the will of us Jews!

This kind of contest, of course, is a good thing for Roland.

Isn't Rowling a writer?

Where does she know what Harry Potter is?

As an author who was expelled from the authorship by readers, her will is far less important than the old man's will.

Not to mention, the old man's children all call him uncle!

Compared with the peace of mind shown by "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter", "X-Men" has a bit of a big problem.

Because the former relationship can't be plugged in, and the latter, it's simply that anyone wants to insert a foot.

As a commercial film that is rushing for money, Roland's bottom line is just that he doesn't want Sophie Turner to play the Phoenix Girl in his own hands, in other words, he is very satisfied with the casting of "X-Men" in his previous life, which also had Kevin Feige involved!

However, it is useless for him to be satisfied!

Because Kevin Feige in this year is too weak to reject people like Peter Jackson and Katherine Kennedy! In this way, in the list of candidates handed over to Roland on the bald head, it is a mess!

First of all, it's a little naughty!

And the number one candidate for the little naughty is Natalie Portman!

That's right, it's this troublemaker who likes to pick and choose!

The point is, this chick is also a guy from George Lucas!
