Chapter 226: Enjoy life, crush the judges, two acquaintances
What can two billion do?
Poverty limits Kate's imagination.
Assuming that she can live to be 100 years old, based on the salary she received from "Titanic" and the time she invested, Roland's net worth can buy her at least twenty lifetimes.
That's two thousand years!
Yi Xiaochuan has only lived for two thousand years!
It's a pity that I met Yushu for a while......
If you count it in terms of her consumption, it is even more.
She can accept the fly restaurant on the side of the road, and the high-end places that need to be reserved are also free to advance and retreat, only the cost of the door face is the big head, and the others are not worth mentioning.
Although she has seen a lot of rich people and talked to many nobles, but the feeling that those people give her is completely different from Roland, if those guys have all kinds of superiority, the satisfaction of piling up money, and the attitude of being superior, then Roland gives her the feeling of indifference and respect.
Lack of regard for money, respect for family.
This situation is difficult to happen in the rich, because money is the root of everything they have.
This is also difficult to find in the aristocracy, because money is all that sustains their good life.
But......
Roland doesn't seem to care how much money he has, his goal of earning money is to make his family happy, as long as they are happy, he will be happy.
Roland's Buddhist attitude is what really attracts Kate, because she knows that the consequence of being obsessed with her career is the indifference of other relationships, and this kind of Buddhism also makes her think that Roland is the kind of person who is at ease with what happens, because only a guy who is easily satisfied will be so Buddhist, but now ......
The situation seems different?
"Yes, that's my property."
"What's wrong?"
Roland twisted his body, rested his cheek with one hand, and lay down on his side along the empty recliner seat left by Kate.
Looking at the face that was within reach, Kate, who was clasping her hands, wanted to move back, but as soon as she moved, she found that she was lying down against the handle.
"You're afraid of me?" Seeing that Kate wanted to escape, Roland said, "I'm not the devil, what are you hiding?"
"I'm not hiding, I'm just thinking, how can you have so much money?" After knowing that she couldn't close the distance, Kate gave up her plan to get up, and said bluntly: "You don't feel like a person with so much money at all......"
"Why?" Roland smiled.
The other party asked so, and Kate didn't hide it, "Because I've never heard ......of a guy with a net worth of two billion who would go to the Berlin Film Festival to give clothes to the actress he is about to work with."
"Because I've never heard of a guy with a net worth of two billion who gets up the next morning and finds that the sheets are red, he will be stunned and not speak......"
"Because I've never heard of a guy worth two billion who can cook......"
"You gave me the impression that you were actually a very kind actor, from a civilian background, not a rich man with a lot of money......"
"Because you do all the things that the rich don't do, for them, time is money, they don't waste their time earning money in other things, but for you, time is a unit of calculation to enjoy the pleasure brought by money, what you think about all the time is not how much money you can earn if you do this thing well, but how much happiness I can bring me when I do this......"
Kate is telling the truth.
If before, Roland gave her the feeling that she was the highest-level showbiz person, a guy with the same status as Spielberg, even if she was in a relationship with Roland, she had such a sense of climbing, but at least it could be regarded as a good match, a combination in the circle.
Now, then, this is not the case......
Roland wasn't a pure filmmaker at all?
Is he a capitalist?
Kate never thought about this kind of thing!
It's not that Roland is bad, but what Roland did was completely incompatible with his identity!
can make your career big when you are young, which one is not energetic and high-spirited during the struggle?
But what about Roland?
slept with him for a year, and what Kate saw the most was Roland's smile when he was in trouble, how could he have the sharpness of an entrepreneur?
When you were young, you made your career bigger, which one doesn't point to the country and wave the sky, and want to compare with the heavens?
But what about Roland?
Hello, hello me, hello everyone......
Even with the Weinstein brothers, Roland was smiling, he didn't seem interested in all this, but he was doing these things.
This is Kate, the most contradictory thing right now.
It is also the biggest change that Roland has lived in his life.
In his previous life, he worked hard to climb up, but near the end of his life, he found that the memories in his mind were all unpleasant efforts and helplessness.
And in this life......
Of course, hard work is also hard work, but after reading the answer, he did not climb up at all, but lived comfortably, so as not to have regrets when his life came to an end.
The money is earned, but before it is spent, the people are gone, what is the picture?
Let someone else spend your money to sleep with your woman?
Are you kidding!
"Can't figure it out?"
Roland raised his hand and stroked Kate's cheek.
"I can't figure it out."
Kate didn't dodge and looked at Roland quietly.
"Actually, it's very ......simple, because I think life is more important," Roland, who was holding his cheek with one hand, lay down completely, "I'll ask you, you said that you can't get the Oscar, and you may regret it when you get old, so if you get the Oscar, you can guarantee that you won't encounter other troubles in your next life?" ”
"Acting is just a group of people's embodiment of life, some people like it, some people enter the industry to make a living, but no matter what the factor is, after the performance, everyone's wish is actually to return to life ......"
"It's glamorous on the screen, but sad behind the screen, which for me is not an interpretation of art, but a self-escape ...... in life."
"And what are they running away from?"
"Unhappy ...... in life"
"So, when I started in the industry, I told myself that what I like is only the movie itself, which can be reflected in different professions such as screenwriter, director, actor, etc., and if I want to like it purely......"
"I've got to have money."
"I earn money to better satisfy my various hobbies, and to satisfy my various hobbies, to make my life more colorful......"
"So, I don't want to show off anything excessively, because many people think that the things that can be shown off are just a part of satisfying my own life, and since they are tools, there is no point in being trumpeted, and what I really want to show and make people envy is actually my comfortable life......"
"I want to get close to you, I don't want to see you cold, I'm going to send you clothes, because this is life......"
"I want to cook three meals for you when you're sick, and I'll cook them for you, because this is also the ...... of life"
"I want to take time out of my vacation with you, then we'll go on vacation, because it's still ...... life"
"It is true that the things that support all this are money and power, but the good things I cherish are not money or power, but the good times I spend them in exchange, and this is what I should remember......"
"...... life?" Kate muttered to herself.
"Yes, it's life."
Roland emphasized, and asked rhetorically, "Don't you have the idea of enjoying life?" ”
"Like James, he just enjoys life."
"He makes movies, but he prefers diving."
"It's the same with Steven."
"He makes movies, but he plays games when he's fine."
"George, even more so."
"When Star Wars ended, he enjoyed life, and as for the rest...... What does it have to do with him? ”
"The idea of enjoying life?" Kate repeated Roland's words, frowned slightly, and then shook her head again: "The most contact I have had since I was a child is acting, in the process of my growth, acting is my life, I think about how to play the role well every day, so, according to you, I ......"
"There is no life."
As if guessing that Kate would say this, Roland pinched the other party's earlobe and continued to ask, "What about other thoughts?" You're sure to have ......."
"Other ideas?" Speaking of this, Kate was stunned for a moment, and then lowered her eyes very weakly, not daring to look at Roland, "Of course there are other ideas......
"It's just that I used to practice filming every day, so there are few other ideas, and there is only one ...... that can be remembered."
"When I was in '90, I fell in love with a boy and thought he was so cute, in the summer of '91, when I saw him crying on the screen, I wanted to touch his head, in the summer of '93, the figure of protecting my sister made me feel that he had grown up, and in the summer of '94, I looked at Gan and made me feel the urge to sleep with him......"
"And then I held it back."
"And now ......"
"Not only did I give him my first time, I was the first to sleep with him, and most importantly, I slept with him for a whole year......"
"And in the process, I found that this kind of life is actually quite comfortable......"
"Perhaps, this is what you say, the good life I really want......"
I......
Roland's body froze.
The mouth is slightly open.
I couldn't make a sound......
He swears he really just wants to enlighten Kate and make her distinguish between life and performance, but ......
If he knew that Kate's biggest idea besides acting was to sleep on himself and sleep emotionally, then he would never mention these things!
Absolutely not!
He is a guy with a net worth of two billion, and he was boasted by a woman that he slept with him for a whole year, how strange is this?
But he seemed to feel Roland's stiffness, and after saying what he had just said, Kate grabbed Roland's hand and didn't let him escape from her cheek.
"Roland, I understand what you mean, I understand your thoughts, if I were you, if I had such a net worth, I wouldn't be able to accept the idea that I want to continue acting."
"But, after all, acting is something I've been doing for more than ten years, give me some time, okay, I'll try to forget about the Oscars, during this period, you come to be a producer, I hope that the day I don't care, you can continue to accept me."
Kate has made it very clear that now she wants to admit defeat, but she can't pass the level in her heart.
But for Roland, this is simply a sign of surrender, because-
"Do you mean that if you get an Oscar and I accept you, you're going to quit?"
"Yes."
So this ......
It's so easy......
Kate wants to get the actress?
Then let her be crowned with "Titanic"!
It was too easy for Roland!
"Titanic" was produced by Fox, and Roland asked Fox to help Kate rush to the Olympics, right?
Sony is now pointing to Roland to go back and continue to make the sequel to "Spider-Man", and Roland has no problem asking them to help Kate rush to the Olympics, right?
Got two done.
The rest of Warner, Universal, Paramount, and Disney, they all want to cooperate with the sensible Roland, and Roland can also cooperate with them now!
Disney does want The Lord of the Rings, but what are they fundamentally?
Paradise!
"Spider-Man", a project that has been developed and is destined to be successful, is authorized to you to make a paradise!
Do you want it or not?
If you want, then license it at a low price!
The requirements are not high, do your best to help Kate rush to the Olympics!
Didn't Universal want his Lord of the Rings?
Cooperate!
The requirements are not high, do your best to help Kate rush to the Olympics!
Paramount doesn't have a project?
No kidding!
For the project "Saving Private Ryan", DreamWorks has reached a cooperation agreement with Paramount!
Although Roland has not contacted Spielberg so far, he wants to participate, producers, investors, directors, who would refuse?
Roland participated in the show with zero pay, and there was only one requirement.
Do your best to help Kate rush to the Olympics!
As for the rest of Warners, there are no chips, and the two sides have never exchanged and cooperated?
And Marvel's movie, Warner can't do it either?
Never mind!
Harry Potter should be finished!
As long as it is listed, it can be discussed!
And the basis of cooperation is to help Kate rush to the Olympics!
If Warner only wants "The Lord of the Rings", then it doesn't matter, the X-Men, "Harry Potter" are for Universal to choose! Anyway, he has a lot of resources!
Not only that, but there's also a Jewish gang......
Isn't that the problem?
Anyway, Roland doesn't want to use his own funds to make movies, holding the copyright, giving away some investment shares, and making up for the rest, which is the maximization of interests.
Just like Spielberg.
And every year, the Olympic works are basically the six major outputs, with different interests and different ideas.
However, if the interests are different, then let them be the same!
And when their will is the same, what the Oscar judges want to express will be the same!
That's right, the list of Oscar judges is not public, but for the Big Six, who is the public relations, they can't be clearer, one said, the judges may not be reasonable, but what about the six at the same time?
Those judges are farting to try?
Oscar was originally a public relations game, and Roland didn't believe that there was absolute fairness in what people selected, he only believed that fists were the greatest justice, and he firmly believed that the truth was only within the range of the cannon!
It doesn't matter if the Oscar judges don't like it.
Because I like it, you have to like it!
I said that Kate is the actress, then she must be!
Defy?
Never mind!
If you want to eat the big profits, the six can hit you!
"Are you sure?"
Thinking of this, Roland also became happy.
Because Kate's withdrawal from the circle is just around the corner!
"Of course."
Kate nodded, "If I get the Oscar, don't say let me quit the circle, it's no problem to go directly to the church and marry you without changing the dress." ”
"Okay, you remember your words today."
Roland pinched the other man's cheek.
"Remember, remember."
Kate didn't care, and when she got up, she thought she still had a chance to act, and asked, "Oh, by the way, I actually didn't know, why do you like me?" Like me, at first you just looked at me pretty and wanted to sleep with me? ”
"No ......"
Roland shook his head and told the truth, "If I said that I liked you in my last life, do you believe it?" ”
"Did you like me in your last life?"
However, as a woman, Kate is directly like the blind monk who discovered Huadian, "What do you mean, you liked me for a while, and then you didn't like it?" ”
Groove ......
Roland's head is full of black lines.
Why are women's concerns different from men's?
Shouldn't you be touched by the likes of your past lives?
Seeing that Roland didn't speak, just buried herself in sorting out things, Kate, who knew it, leaned over and said, "Hmph, don't you think I know?"
"A man is always a virtuous character."
"Twenty-year-old men like twenty-year-old beautiful women, thirty-year-old men still like twenty-year-old beautiful women, forty-year-old men still like twenty-year-old beautiful women, and it is your nature to like young people."
"I heard before that you like a girl from Francis Coppola?"
"What's Scarlett's name? Grown up to be a beauty? ”
"Humph......"
"Do you know what you have to pay after you let me quit the circle according to your ideas?"
"You may still have the energy to look at those young and beautiful girls in the future, but I promise, you can only think about it in your head......"
"After I retire from the circle, I will be very idle, and when I am idle...... Forty times in three days, do you dare to try? ”
As she spoke, she hugged Roland from behind, her hands stroking her waist.
Such a hint made Roland's face darken.
He suddenly felt that he might be a little hasty?
"Uh......" Roland swallowed and changed the subject, "do you have any projects you'd like to shoot right now?" ”
"I can get it for you."
"Huh...... I don't want to film now......"
Kate, who had already seen Roland's thoughts, laughed, "Man, ......"
"You're all the same."
It is a pity that Roland, as a serious man, did not have the habit of keeping a diary, otherwise he would have written on December 30, 96:
"After all, it was one person who carried it all."
…………
Regardless of whether she is hasty or not, when Kate went to Roland's house for Christmas and listened to the annual report on the group's affairs, she returned to the crew, then she really regarded herself as Roland's real girlfriend.
From head to toe, from the inside out, she has to take care of it.
All the bargains that Roland liked to wear before were lost by her, and only her own endorsement was retained.
The new clothes were all picked by Kate herself.
In Kate's words, that's when I'm dressed beautifully, that's to give you a long face, and when you're dressed up, it's for me to be angry......
Since Kate said so, it would be really boring for Roland to refuse, besides, this feeling of living is actually quite good......
At the same time as the two established a real relationship, the filming of "Titanic" also came to an end.
After two months of hard soaking in the water, the truck driver finally announced the completion of the project.
That night, he returned to Los Angeles with his precious film for editing, and Roland took Kate to Irvine to celebrate the upcoming Blizzard Entertainment Annual Meeting.
However, when he stepped into the door of Blizzard and hugged Blizzard Big Three and Blizzard North Big Four with a big smile, the two people who appeared at the welcome scene made Roland's smile freeze on his face.
Sensing that something was wrong, after following Roland's line of sight, Mike Mohami, who had been accompanying Roland to introduce him to the Blizzard Four, immediately smiled and said, "Oh, Roland, they're not from the company...... It's my friend, and I happened to come here today to have something to do......"
"The one on the left is called Lawrence, the one on the right is called Sergei, and they are both Stanford students......"
