Chapter 288: The Strongest Shield and the Deepest Pit

It's night, South Pasadena.

In this green city with beautiful scenery and spring in the north, the historic craftsman-style houses can be seen everywhere, the shape of the spire red tiles is the characteristic here, and the house structure in the shape of "He" gives people a sense of playing with Lego, and when people want to peek into the toy-like building block paradise through the night, the breeze is helpless and floats into everyone's ears.

"Sidney? Hi~Ah? Daytime, you say? I already know that, yes, yes, very abruptly......"

"Robert? Where is Goldie looking for her daughter's chance again? Didn't I already say this before? Her daughter's project we DreamWorks would do, but not ...... now."

"Oh~George~ Why did you even call me?"

When the old man threw off his glasses, clenched his left hand into a fist, pestle his forehead with one hand, and made a phone call, a creaking sound suddenly appeared.

Hearing this voice, the guy who was already dealing with all parties showed his face, but after squinting and probing, he found that the person who came was actually his wife, and the unhappiness on his face dissipated a lot, and was replaced by physical and mental exhaustion.

"Why are you here? Is Sasha looking for me? Tell her I'm sorry and that there was so much work today......"

Fingers pinched the eye sockets next to the bridge of the nose, the old man sighed, threw the phone aside, and at the same time, he also picked up the pizza brought by his wife and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

Seeing her husband like this, Kate Capshaw, who was wearing a blue shirt, was also a little distressed.

"Are those people still for Mary-Jane?"

"Or else?" Spielberg shrugged.

"Roland has gone too far this time, why did he choose to run away? As before, wouldn't it be okay to choose a favorite one yourself? Kate Capshaw is too familiar with this kind of transaction, and it is precisely because of familiarity that she feels that there is something wrong with the development during the day, "He chooses one he likes, no one can find fault, the guy who is selected is happy, but he will not complain if he is not selected, because since they are all making trades, they are destined to have the next chance!" ”

Those who can use the relationship are not fools, everyone knows that in the case of mutual backgrounds and balanced background strengths, whether to choose or not is actually not the real point, the point is that the stakeholders are not selected.

If Roland personally finalizes the heroine, it means that he is a participant in various transactions, abiding by the rules of the game in the circle, and maintaining tacit understanding.

But now, Roland doesn't choose, that is, he doesn't play anymore.

The decider is not the one with vested interests?

Because there are too many related households, so you play balance?

And what about next time?

Who will dare to do his favor next time?

It is precisely because insiders want to know Roland's attitude that Spielberg has been bombarded with phone calls from acquaintances since the audition, and the old man is also helpless in the face of those guys who are eager to know the answer, because-

"He doesn't have a next time......"

β€œWhatοΌŸβ€ Kate Capshaw obviously didn't expect her husband to suddenly throw out such a statement.

In the next second, her reaction exceeded the old man's expectations, "Does he have any terminal illness?" ”

No wonder he can't wait to marry Kate! Does he want to keep a child at the end of his life? ”

"Ahem, cough, ahem......" The old man who was drinking coffee was almost choked to death by his wife's brain.

After wiping his mouth with a tissue, he glared at the other party and said angrily: "I mean, he's going to quit the circle!" ”

"If nothing else, "Spider-Man 3" will be the last movie in his life, even if he personally finalizes the heroine today, it will only be a temporary confusion, and after he announces his retirement, these things will still appear......"

So far, only the old man, David, Kate, Soni and himself know what Roland is going to pick and choose, but in order to prove to his wife that Roland is fine, the old man can only tell the transaction plan from a few months ago.

And after learning that Roland had turned his life into a sustainable development project, Kate Capshaw, who was still complaining to her husband before, was stunned on the spot, and after a long time, she frowned and said-

"You mean, you started it all first?"

"Yes......," the old man replied without concealment.

However, this sentence made his wife blow up.

"Are you crazy?" Kate Capshaw breathed a sigh of relief, and Ben's still concerned eyes suddenly changed to surprise, and even a little puzzled, "Since you proposed that he withdraw from the circle!" Why drag those people to vote for him? ”

"You know those guys are jackals who will never give up when they smell blood! You shouldn't give them hope! ”

"His deal with the Big Six has already won an Oscar! And Roland's original goal was just to get one for Kate! There's no need for you to encourage him to win the prize, and you don't have to let yourself fall into it! ”

Feeling his wife's anger, the old man did not respond excessively, but looked at each other silently.

"You don't think it's necessary?"

"Is it necessary?" Kate Capshaw couldn't understand her husband's thoughts at all, "Roland didn't think about winning an Oscar from the beginning!" So why do you have to work for him under pressure? He's your son? Or are you his dad? Why are you being so nice to him? Just because he's your student? But you have a lot of students! Can you take care of it? ”

Or is it because he also likes to play games? There are so many guys who can play games! Why don't you leave anyone alone? ”

"You don't need to put him on the altar at all!"

"And his current irresponsible behavior of throwing pressure on you makes me feel disgusting!"

The old man pursed his lips at his wife's words, and he admitted that what the other party said made sense, but not all right.

If he is a teacher, a player, or a confidant, then he really doesn't need to propose Roland to operate a double award, let alone show his old face and help him canvass for votes, but the problem is-

"Helping Roland win the award is actually very important to me......"

The old man got up, took the initiative to pour a glass of water for his wife, and then came behind the other party, put his hands on her shoulders, and gently squeezed her, "Kate, do you know?" He proposed to me a 25 percent stake in Sony's global distribution company with Amperin and Warcraft, and at that time, I didn't tell him about DreamWorks' formation plan. ”

"He seemed to see what I was thinking, and most importantly, the whole deal started when he knew I didn't like Nintendo."

"When I was persuaded by him, using his resources, and getting shares with him, the formation of DreamWorks suddenly became very smooth, Jeffrey Katzenberg, who wanted to think about it before, directly agreed to my plan, although David Geffen had already intended to sell the company, but after seeing me get the shares, he immediately called me and told me that he could inject capital immediately, and Paul Allen, who wanted to establish a global issuance system, learned that I and Roland jointly held half of the shares, and his money was faster than anyone else's, Originally, he insisted that we sign a VAM repurchase agreement, but after we had the shares, in the subsequent negotiations, he withdrew this harsh clause......"

"If his advice is the cornerstone of DreamWorks, it would be an exaggeration, but it is an indisputable fact that his advice has erased a lot of trouble for me."

"Because we are not alone now, in the eyes of the other five, our goal in creating DreamWorks is to swallow Sony Pictures Entertainment, and we now want to swallow Sony Pictures Entertainment."

"But we're not that much behind."

"If it weren't for the fact that Bernard and Carl didn't have a good relationship, things wouldn't have gotten so troublesome......"

When Spielberg instigated Roland to rush to the Olympics, he only told Roland that Sony was in trouble and that he could try to solve it if he had the chance, but he didn't tell Roland how to swallow this behemoth.

And now, in the face of his wife's inquiry, the old man only said a little.

But this point, in fact, has already named everything.

The trick of swallowing other listed companies is nothing more than that, although the price of inviting Carl Icahn will be high, but the success rate will be greatly increased, but unfortunately, as a member of the Palm Beach Country Club, they can't contact Carl Icahn, because Bernard Madoff doesn't like Carl Icahn, and the act of private contact will make them lose an opportunity to make money.

Madoff and Icahn are opposed to each other, in fact, it is a very normal thing, as the chairman of the board of directors of NASDAQ, the bad things that Icahn did were undoubtedly giving him eye medicine, and the bad things he did, if the other party intervened, would definitely die on the spot.

As Soros said, 'Economic history is a serial drama based on illusions and lies...... The way to get rich is to recognize the illusion, get involved in it, and then quit the game before the illusion is known to the public.'

Madoff deceived a bunch of self-proclaimed smart investors, but he couldn't fool the barbarians who didn't invest and only relied on robbing, so under his packaging, those high-end members of the foundation with high moral character could not play with barefoot guys with guns.

In this case, Roland, a non-member, is the best contact, plus he already has the equity of Sony, Amperin and Warcraft Films' global distribution companies, which belongs to an insider, so ......

It is the best choice to help the little apprentice rush to the Olympics and let this guy who has no intention of filming do something that is in everyone's interests.

And the favor that was spilled out for this......

It's going to be back slowly.

Anyway, his reputation is there, and if it can be solved in time, then don't be impatient......

But the problem is that Roland actually flipped the table.

It's a headache.

Although the old man understands that this is indeed something that a person like Roland can do, as a guy who hates trouble, every decision Roland makes is actually to make money more comfortably, but-

The timing is not right!

"Just a few months after winning the award, doing something will really make people think, Roland is floating!"

The old man, who massaged his wife and calmed his emotions, sighed, but before he could continue, the mobile phone on the table suddenly rang again, and the pleasant ringtone made his face bitter, and when he was too lazy to check his name, he picked it up and answered, the voice on the other end of the phone surprised him very much, "Clint?" ”

"Don't tell me Bryce is going to audition too!"

"Is he running away? It's really ......"

However, the old man's empathetic complaint was over before it began.

Kate Capshaw, who sat across from him, only to find that her husband's face was first covered in gloom, then froze, and after a moment, it turned to surprise and joy, and the words that followed were full of emotion and satisfaction.

"Really?! 60 million projects, Warner let Roland invest 20 million? ”

"He himself told your assistant that he was inspired after watching "City of Angels"?"

"Oh! This damn boy! Can't he invest before things ferment? ”

"I've been here for an afternoon!"

When she hung up the phone, the overflowing happiness made Kate Capshaw a little confused.

"What's wrong? What did Clint say to you that made you so happy? ”

"It's nothing, it's just that Roland invested in a project."

The old man waved his hand, and he was so happy that he was like my eldest brother who had successfully changed his familyβ€”he smiled without eyes.

This gesture made Kate Capshaw even more incomprehensible, but just when she wanted to continue to ask what project Roland had invested in to make her husband forget his behavior of releasing all the pigeons, the old man opened the address book again and made a phone call.

"Catherine?"

"How did you and your husband do with "The Sixth Sense"?"

"Shoot it right away when you choose it? Will it be possible to seal the mirror at the end of this year? ”

"Well, when you're done with the "Psychic Sixth Sense", you will start "Artificial Intelligence" immediately."

"That's right! Let Tom go make his own movie first! "Minority Report" is put back ......"

"Why?"

"Because I'm taking Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone."

"That's right! I'm going to pick it up! Don't be so surprised, okay? ”

"Time is not an issue! "Artificial Intelligence" can be filmed in three months, and when it is two thousand years old, "Philosopher's Stone" can be officially filmed, plus the preparation time for casting, the film can be sealed in the spring of 01 year, and then seamlessly connected to "Minority Report", then the movie can be finished in 100 days, followed by "Get Away with Punishment" in the "Fugitive Trilogy", as long as you shoot quickly, it will not affect the later "Secret Room" ...... at all"

"What? Why are you in such a hurry? ”

"Because Roland wanted me to make this series......"

When Roland received a call from Catherine Kennedy the next day and learned that the old man had decided to take over Harry Potter, the passive skill of Max was instantly triggered, "Hold the grass!" Standing in line is a good skill! ”

Roland thought that he would mean it, let the group of guys who thought they didn't want to repay the favor suffer a dumb loss, stop bothering themselves in front of themselves, this is the best result, but he didn't expect it...... This went straight to the tip of the hearts of those Jews?

"It seems that the shield of African Americans is really important to them......"

"If there are African-Americans making trouble, then the mainstream group will hate African-Americans, but if the African-American vegetable garden is gone, then the Jews who like to make things will become street rats again, just like before......"

"It is the fundamental goal of all of them not to repeat the mistakes of the past, and in this case, it is clear that the interests of the individual are greater than the interests of the collective, and what about me...... In their eyes, I should be a two-five boy with a positive ass and can't be in the right. ”

Roland guessed correctly, in the eyes of the vast majority of Jews, he, a little leek who has been taught by Spielberg since he was a child, is obviously a pro-Jewish vanguard-

A "Seven Deadly Sins" blackened both Catholicism and Protestantism, a rare realization in the world!

"The Shawshank Redemption" looks like it is doing the commander a favor on the surface, but in fact, it is also maintaining the leek garden that the Jews fancie, and the problem of racial contradictions can be troubled, and it can even be big, but the degree must also be controlled.

If MT doesn't attract hatred, then there's another egg to use!

But if MT is beaten up after a taunt, then it is more than worth the loss.

Only by controlling the degree can we better seek benefits for ourselves.

Of course, although he only guessed the ending, not the extent, this did not prevent Roland from calling to thank him.

He never felt good about himself and thought that Spielberg should help him, and more often, not making it difficult for him in the clan was actually Roland's best reward......

And after dialing the phone, the first thing that came was the sound of laughter and noise.

When I listened carefully, I found that the old man was having breakfast with his son and daughter.

After greeting those familiar guys one by one, the voice of the conversation gradually moved away, and when it was almost inaudible, the old man's unkind words came from the earpiece, "Roland! You did that yesterday! How dare you call me? ”

As soon as he heard this, Roland was happy, but he cried out on his lips: "Steven, I have been wronged! ”

"There are so many girls, the family is powerful, in case I can't control it, Kate still has to kill me?"

The old man rolled his eyes, not believing Roland's words at all, but still asked forcefully, "So you slipped away?" ”

"No, you can't slip away! If I had stayed there, I would have had to go to your house and sleep last night! ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

The old man was almost choked to death by Roland's rogue energy, "Why didn't I find you so shameless before?" ”

"I didn't owe so much favor before......"

Although both of them tacitly did not mention "Miracle in the Green Mile", the conversation all revolved around these things, and after briefly understanding Roland's thoughts and confirming his intentions, the old man did not ask more, but turned around and mentioned "Harry Potter".

"I took the project."

"I know, I'm calling today for this!"

"Huh? Any questions? ”

"Of course there is a problem! Because the project will be filmed in the UK throughout the whole process, if you take it, then every time you shoot, you will not be able to return home for half a year and not see your children. Although I am not a dream factory, I can still meet your request to eat with your children every night, so I will ask, are you going to take your children to school in the UK? If yes, then I'll ask Kate to help you find a school? Rest assured, she's ...... familiar with this."

Since the old man agreed to be a director, Roland is ready to rely on him.

All eight films were filmed for him, and he just happened to be able to pass the garbage of "War of the Worlds" and "The Adventures of Tintin".

If you want to lock the man strongly, you naturally have to meet the needs of the other party, but before he could say that he could pay the old man to buy a villa in the UK, the words on the other end of the phone made him fall into the ice cave with excitement.

"Who told you that I would stay in England the whole time?"

"Huh? If you don't stay in the UK the whole time, what else will the crew film? ”

"Who said that if I'm not in the UK, the crew can't film?"

β€œWhat? Do you still want to find a director and co-direct? ”

"That's right!"

"It's not...... Robert and Chris have similar styles, but they are different! ”

"Who said I was looking for them? Isn't there a guy in Hollywood who copied it from me? ”

"......" Roland was stunned for a long time before he held back a phrase, "You said me?" ”

"Congratulations on getting it right, but no reward." The old man laughed and said: "You are with Kate, then you will definitely go to England from time to time, when the time comes, I will take a group portrait, and you can grind the rest of the shots against the storyboard draft!" ”

"I'll shoot for three months, and you will shoot for three months, so won't the matter be solved? If two of these three months are summer vacations, won't I be able to take my whole family to the UK for a holiday, so in fact, it is just a month of not going home......"

Damn……

Roland scolded helplessly.

He just didn't want to be a director because he was troublesome, but he wanted to ensure the quality of the movie, so Raspierberg got in the car, but what he didn't expect was that while pulling the other party, he actually pitted himself!

The old man shoots for three months, and he shoots for three months?

It's better to let Chris Columbus shoot it!

"Can I go back now?" Roland wanted to shake people.

However, as soon as these words came out, a beep came from the other end of the phone.

The other person doesn't want to talk to you and throws a dog at you.

"Hey, I have a headache......"

Roland sighed helplessly, but the old man was willing to take over the project, which was actually good news for him, "Okay, if you are pitted, you will be pitted, anyway, it is your own project, so you should bring goods to yourself......"

"So now, "The Lord of the Rings", "Harry Potter", and "X-Men" are actually alive, and I don't need to worry about most of the things in the project, and then I just need to play and play, and then I will join the group in August......"

"Shhh

"If you count it like this, life is still pretty good~ Ang?"
