Chapter 171: Amanda Invites
The Cavaliers lost without any suspense, and the Clippers won six in a row. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere are two days off in the next two days, and Liu Su can relax a little.
After Liu Su got up the next day, he received a call from Amanda. Liu Su has not seen Amanda since they separated in July.
Amanda called to invite him to dinner and went to a western restaurant. After Liu Su was invited, he learned that Amanda had something to ask for.
It turned out that the director Philippa, whom she met at the banquet, had a script in his hand, but he couldn't shoot it because he didn't have the funds. Amanda has already decided on the role in it, and if the movie can't be made, she won't have a job.
So she found Liu Su and wanted to try to get Liu Su to invest in this film. The film is called "Mamma Mia", and it is a remake, but the original book has no celebrities.
As a one-man musical, the songs in it are more than 20 songs by the Swedish national treasure band ABBA. Liu Su has also been in the United States for more than two years, and he knows musicals very well, and he has a group of regular fans in American musicals, plus ABBA fans, the box office is absolutely indispensable, plus the protagonist and the former 007 Brosnan, can also circle some fans.
Amanda brought the script with her. After Liu Su finished eating, he picked up the script and looked at it twice, but he couldn't see why. He hadn't seen the script and didn't know how it was written.
Amanda said, "Find a place and I'll tell you the story!"
Liu Su nodded, called the waiter, and handed a credit card to settle the bill. Then Liu Su took Amanda home, and Amanda was not the first time she came, she hung up her coat quite casually, and then began to find a coffee machine to make coffee.
Liu Su doesn't drink coffee and doesn't use a coffee machine, so Amanda has to do it herself. Speaking of this coffee machine, it was bought by Scarlett, and she didn't take it with her when she left, so she left it here.
After making a cup of coffee, Amanda sat on the sofa and leaned on Liu Su, and took out the script for Liu Su to get up and plot. Through the plot, Liu Su learned that this is still a comedy, and her daughter found her mother's three old lovers at the wedding ceremony, and then funny things happened.
Liu Su was also laughed by Amanda's words, he nodded, and said: "This script is very good, and there is still a lot of lack of funds."
Amanda said: "Director Philida asked Universal to distribute it, but Universal can't invest in it, and they are all very short of funds, so there is still a gap of 10 million US dollars for investment."
Ten million dollars is not much, but Liu Su is not a person who throws money at random. Liu Su knew the script, but he was still not sure and decided to invest immediately.
"In this way, you will find me the original version and the film of the former island country directed by Philida, and if it is not bad, I will consider investing."
Amanda hugged Liu Su excitedly and kissed him fiercely, and then ran out of Liu Su's house like a happy man, and took Liu Su's car keys away.
Amanda took Liu Su's car directly to Philida and told Philida the news that she must have won the investment. Philida looked at Amanda in surprise, and then asked, "Who wants to invest?"
"It's Chinese Liu, my male companion at the banquet." "But he needs to look at the original footage and your previous films, and if he agrees, he can definitely invest in it," Amanda said.
When Fei Lida heard that it was Liu Su, she was even more surprised: "Isn't he a sports star?" How would you want to invest in a movie? ”
Amanda looked at Philida in surprise: "Don't you know that he is the boss of Facebook?"
"He's the boss of Facebook?" Philida really didn't know, but when she heard Liu Su's identity, Philida immediately panicked and began to look for the video.
Facebook is now a large Internet company, although it cannot be regarded as a giant, but it is also worth one billion. If Liu Su goes online on Facebook, his net worth will definitely increase tenfold in an instant.
With the video in hand, Amanda said goodbye to Felida, and then drove back to Liu Su's home.
After watching Amanda leave, Philida couldn't help but shake her head and muttered to herself: "I didn't expect you to be so lucky to know such a giant, it seems that there will be no shortage of filming in the future."
Amanda came back with the video, Liu Su turned on the TV and put the video into the DVD player and started playing the movie. The first thing I watched was the original, although Liu Su could understand the words inside, but I always felt that something was wrong there, and if I looked closely, the spirit of the original version was a theater musical, and the accent was still from London.
American English and British English are very different, and although communication is fine, there are many differences in grammatical habits, just like Mandarin and Cantonese, which are difficult to understand if you are not familiar with them.
Liu Su is only familiar with American English, and he doesn't understand British English at all. After barely reading the plot, Liu Su covered his eyes and couldn't help but shake his head.
"What's wrong?" Amanda saw Liu Su's uncomfortable appearance.
"It's nothing, it's just that I'm not used to the way this film is expressed. Let's switch to another one! ”
Amanda was worried about changing Felida's previous movies, and Liu Su was better. At least it's not a musical, although it's also a more serious art film, but Liu Su can still understand a little bit.
Philida's directing ability is still good, Liu Su thought about the plot in the script, and then nodded. said to Amanda: "Tomorrow I will ask people to contact director Philippa, and I will vote for this movie."
"Thank you, dear." Amanda immediately pounced, threw Liu Su on the sofa at once, and then kept kissing him on the face.
Liu Su smiled helplessly, he has four women in Los Angeles, all four of whom are people in the film and television industry, and they all make movies. I've invested in Amanda, and the other three know that they want to invest, what should I do?
Amanda did not leave, in order to repay Liu Su for agreeing to invest, Amanda can be said to have used all her resources to give Liu Su a wholehearted entertainment.
The next day, when Liu Su went to train, he felt that his steps were vain. Amanda, on the other hand, is still asleep in bed and may not be able to get up until the afternoon.
Liu Su made a phone call to his personal assistant, which was arranged for him on Facebook, which was equivalent to a secretary-like person, but it was a man, named Jack.
Let Jack go to Philida to invest in the movie and try to get as much share as possible. Investment belongs to investment, favor belongs to favor, interests and favor are separated, promise investment is favor, and strive for interests is due.
Liu Su trained for a while and ate a nutritious meal to replenish the energy consumed at night. Fortunately, tomorrow the Clippers will play against the Knicks at home, and the Knicks are still a million-year-old fish, even if there are many star players, but they just don't win.
So Liu Su doesn't care at all, even if he doesn't play, he can win. So Liu Su ate his own food with peace of mind, practiced for a while, and went home.
Amanda still didn't get up, and Liu Su brought her some dinner back, and it seemed that it would be nice for her to wake up at night.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Amanda got up and ate dinner. Liu Su also received a call from Jack, and after the call ended, Liu Su said to Amanda: "After the investment talks are over, you may have to go to filming in a few days."
