"Are you sure that fat guy is talking about Christopher Culkin?"

Rubbing his cheeks, Roland, who was drowsy, repeated the other party's name.

"What? Do you know this guy? ”

Mohami, who had already sat down, picked up the mineral water, raised his head and took a sip before continuing his words, "When I inquired about the news, I could clearly feel that the guy's tone was full of indifferent emotions, judging by his words, Christopher should not be from the entertainment industry, right?" ”

"And, I've heard that in the end, it was your producer, John Hughes, who took care of it."

"The director of Fox production you told me yesterday doesn't seem to be able to manage this kind of thing."

Of course, the production director sent by Fox can't care about this kind of thing!

Although Roland didn't know the guy named Christopher Culkin, if he put the surname Culkin and John Hughes together, Roland could guess something.

Because, Macaulay, the original star of "Home Alone", is surnamed Culkin!

And this guy named Christopher should be Macaulay's daddy!

Macaulay's dad has come to get justice for his son?

This......

Seems a little too late, right?

The contract has been signed, the crew has started filming, and it is really unwise to do things at the door at this time!

And just when Roland was frowning and guessing the inside story, in a café in Burbank, two middle-aged men sat opposite each other, the guy with blond hair and shawl wrapped his hands around and put them on the table, staring at the person at the table with burning eyes, while the man with round-framed glasses calmly picked up the coffee cup, took a sip, frowned, seemed to feel that the taste was wrong, and directly picked up the unfinished sugar cube and continued to throw it into the cup.

When the clink of sugar cubes bottoming out appeared, the blonde man in the shawl hooked the corners of his mouth.

"John, your tastes haven't changed, and you're still sweet with a penchant."

"But the doctor said you have a bad heart, so let you eat less sweet."

Such words made the glasses man who stirred the coffee raise his head, and when his face appeared in the sight of the blonde man, the name John Hughes was also about to come out, "Kit, there are some habits, not so easy to change." ”

"Besides, we make so much money, we don't just throw it to doctors for no reason, so that they can monitor our health."

"What they're going to do is make our lives better while making sure we like it."

"Instead of being like the elders, let's not eat this, don't drink that......"

"So you're like Warren Buffett, drink the Coke first, and then let the doctor fix the problem?"

John Hughes's words made the guy named Kitt laugh.

However, the kind laughter didn't last long, and he turned around and complained, "Then why don't you carry this habit over to the film project?" Isn't it okay to finalize the candidates first, and then let the director solve the problem? ”

That's right, this guy who is affectionately called Kitt by John Hughes is Christopher Culkin in Mohammy's mouth, and he is not here to seek justice for his son as Roland thinks, but for his own money, he asked his old friend who has known him for many years, "John, you promised Macaulay to let him be the starring role." ”

"Do you remember what you said?"

"Oh dear, the inspiration for this movie came from you."

"There's no one better suited for the role than you."

"The character of Kevin was created for you, don't worry, you will be notified when the crew is built."

Christopher Culkin looked at his old friend opposite affectionately, and his singing voice similar to a stage play made John Hughes raise his eyebrows, however, before he could respond, Culkin, who was still fond of recollection, instantly changed his face, and his frustration also arose, "But now? What Macaulay received was a deep disappointment. ”

"Do you know how sad he felt when he learned that the project Home Alone had started filming?"

"He took the newspaper and stood timidly at the door of my study, not daring to step further."

He asked, hugging the door frame with a sad face.

"Uncle John, don't you like him anymore?"

"Did he do something wrong? Otherwise, why would Uncle John find someone to play again? ”

"He said he's been in the industry for six years and he doesn't know why he's been beaten down by a newcomer."

The sad voice and emotional words, if they are placed on the Oprah show, it will definitely stage a scene of tears bursting the embankment.

Telling his story with emotion, explaining his own experience 'impartially', if that's all, then forget it, the point is that at the end of the story, Culkin also threw out a reverie question.

If the audience of John Hughes is replaced by another ordinary person, then he may have begun to wonder whether there is an unknown shady deal in the whole project, but - John Hughes is the party!

Put down the coffee spoon and smile on your cheeks.

When he looked at Culkin with playful eyes, the smile hidden in the corner of his eyes made Culkin a little annoyed.

"John, what do you mean by that?"

"It's not interesting."

"I just think your acting skills have improved a lot compared to before."

John Hughes opened his handbag with a smile, found the glasses cloth, and skilfully removed the glasses and wiped the lenses.

"What do you want to express when you say such a big deal?"

"Macaulay was disappointed because he didn't get the role, so he couldn't sleep?"

"No kidding."

"You think Macaulay's role has been taken away from you, right?"

"Then why didn't you come to me when I called to let you know?"

"Didn't you jump out at this time just to get a substitute project from me?"

"I've known you for so many years, I won't know what you think?"

When John Hughes put his glasses back on, where was there any sadness on Culkin's face in his sight?

As John Hughes said, he came back this time hoping to get a project from an old friend.

Why didn't he show up when the project was taken away by Roland?

Culkin, who used to be in the circle, is not a fool, the guy who can make John Hughes abandon his son, he must have his own merits, and this kind of guy is tough, and there will be no good end, so it becomes natural to wait patiently.

When the project is established and the crew starts filming, he is jumping out.

Is it too late at this time?

No......

At this point in time, it's just right.

As long as he is entangled with the crew under the banner of shady, then John Hughes will definitely meet his requirements.

There is no other reason, because no crew wants to cause trouble during filming and attract black material.

Although everything Culkin said may be inconsequential things, if those words are thrown to media reporters, it will be unlucky, but the crew, the news media will not care whether what you say is true or false, they just need to know that Chris Columbus, a young man brought out by Steven Spielberg, bullied people, forcibly rejected the choice of producer John Hughes, and promoted the newcomer to the position, and that is enough - of course, their reports can't be so explicit, but you don't expect these bitch guys, can say anything good, they may not drag Spielberg into the water, but these guys who smell the news will definitely dig deep into the inside of the crew, and in the end, even if these people only dig up a little bit of content, such as 'John Hughes's influence is not as big as Chris Columbus', and for example, 'The guys in the crew are all invited by Chris Columbus', these news alone are enough for the guys in the crew to drink a pot.

At that time, Chris Columbus would naturally leave the public with the image of a dog fighting a man.

And John Hughes?

How can there be any majesty of a master of youth films!

It's just a rat who instigates home.

Of course, this kind of thing is broken, and Culkin will not do it at all unless it is absolutely necessary.

But—

You can't bet everything on the other person.

Fulfill his demands and shut him up.

That's what Culkin wants to pursue.

All he wants is a film project, a film project that can make his son earn money quickly.

It's a pity -

John Hughes didn't want to be threatened.

Looking at his composed, old friend, John Hughes remembered the past.

Christopher Culkin is an insatiable guy who only wants more after fulfilling his demands.

Ever since John Hughes learned that Christopher Culkin ignored the feelings of his children and let his children all embark on the path of being an actor to enrich his wallet, he no longer wanted to continue to associate with this kind of person.

"You should be very glad you didn't come over to argue when I called you."

"You think you can't afford to mess with Roland Allen?"

"You're right."

"You can go out to the news media now and tell the story what you think."

"You see how many people will report directly according to your statement."

John Hughes's words made Christopher Culkin frown, and just as he pondered the meaning of his old friend's words, John Hughes said to himself, "Do you know who recommended Roland Allen to win the role?" ”

"His resume was sent to the crew by Robin Williams."

"Do you know who asked the director and lead actor in the crew to teach him before the movie started?"

"It's Robert Zemeckis."

"Media reporters will love your revelations very much."

"After all, these two, one is now competing for the best actor, and the other's "Back to the Future 3" will be released this year."

"You go out and find the media now, and we'll make headlines tomorrow."

"For this kind of publicity, Fox and I, and thank you for it."

Before he could finish speaking, John Hughes smiled and nodded at the other party.

Without further ado, he picked up his handbag and turned to leave.

It's just that when he left, he also took out a few twenty-denomination knives and pressed them under the coffee saucer.

That kind of way of being different and not conspiring with each other made Christopher Culkin's face instantly gloomy.

"Wait." Seeing that John Hughes was about to leave, Culkin immediately shouted.

"Huh?" John Hughes leaned over and looked at each other with a smile on his face, "Is there anything else?" Kit? ”

"Are you sure?"

The incoherent question made the smile on John Hughes's face even bigger, and he shrugged his shoulders and whispered, "Of course." ”

"The filming location of the crew is provided by Roland Allen's guardian, if you don't believe it, you can inquire yourself."

An affirmative answer made Culkin nod.

Taking a deep breath and retracting all the threatening words in his head, a formulaic smile appeared on Culkin's face.

He came here this time to get some roles suitable for his son from the hands of John Hughes.

Because he needs his son to make money for himself, it is impossible for him to make his son give up this path.

But now—

The means of threatening and stalking are obviously unusable.

No one will offend the Jewish gang if they continue to mingle in the circle.

Vin Diesel, who was the first to make a mourning hall to sell films, has scolded so many people in the circle, Pierce Brosnan, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Wen Ziren...... Just the name of the big name can fill an entire book, but even so, he didn't go to the Jewish gang, which may be due to Spielberg's kindness, but the Jewish gang is powerful, which is also an indisputable fact.

If you still want your son to become a money printing machine, then Culkin can't just break the news, and once he gives up breaking the news......

Then he can only be the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Looking at John Hughes's back that was gradually moving away, Culkin grinded his teeth, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

A project with an investment of 15 million! Big names do escorts!

What an opportunity!

That's it......

Gone......

But what can be done?

Find a real PK from the other party to vent your anger?

No kidding.

It is true that fists can solve many problems, but many times, the fist that solves the problem is not the real fist.

There may be conflicts between everyone, but facing them head-on, adding punches and kicks, and cursing verbally is too low-level.

Besides, if not for anything else, but for money, he can't do it.

Grab your coffee, raise your neck, and drink it all.

For Culkin, this arrival was a failure.

Because he hadn't even started to put down the cruel words, John Hughes had already given up all the plans.

But on the other hand, his operation was also successful.

Because he knows who the guy who snatched the project from his son......

Since Roland Allen is about the same age as his own son, there are still many opportunities for contact after that.

In the future, if he continues to bump into Roland Allen when choosing projects, then he will not have to waste more time on those projects.

And time, for him, is money.

As long as you have money, what is everything else?
