Chapter 321: Sailing

New York, 1933, in a building. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In a small, dimly lit screening room, drowsy black-and-white literary films are playing.

Four white men watched impatiently while smoking.

Producer Carl stroked his chin and stared at their expressions, worried that his film would not be satisfactory to the four investors.

When he saw a certain blood-vomiting plot, a bearded white man scratched the back of his head, and finally couldn't help it: "How many more can be finished?" ”

The player on the side said, "There are five more reels of film." ”

"Turn on the lights and stop looking."

As soon as the words fell, the lights in the screening room turned on, and a sleeping investor opened his eyes violently and hurriedly took a puff of cigarette to hide his embarrassing behavior.

Seeing this, Carl sighed and said to himself: It's over.

"Is this the kind of film?" One investor angrily said, "Carl, we paid $40,000 to make this, what about your other adventure film?" ”

While talking, he smoked a cigarette violently, this year of the Great Depression in the United States, I was expecting this film to make a lot of money, but now it seems that it is good not to lose!

Another investor said, "Where is the romantic scene of Bruce and Marlene that you promised us?" ”

"Gentlemen, don't be kidding, I'm doing things according to the agreement, and as for Marlene, as long as she gets to her destination by boat, she and Bruce can shine on the screen." Carl argued.

"Boats? Our film was shot on set, where did it come from and where did it go? ”

"I know. But now we're going to make another film. Carl came to the screen and said with emotion: "The story has changed, the script has changed, it has been changed to real life, I got a map, an island that is not even marked on the sea chart, a place that is thought to exist only in mythology, and its name is ......"

"Stop, are you asking us to invest more?" The bearded white man couldn't help but interrupt Carl's narration.

Karl took out a map and pointed to it: "I'm talking about a primitive world, a relic of a civilization that no one has ever seen, and you will see magnificent wonders that no one has ever seen, and that is my destination." As he spoke, his eyes lit up with a feverish light.

After listening to Carl, the four of them looked at each other, and they all felt that he was stupid for filming, and one of them rolled his eyes slightly and coughed: "Carl, you go out first, and we will discuss." ”

Carl was stunned, sighed in his heart, knew that things were yellow, and slammed the door angrily.

As soon as I went out, I looked up and saw an Asian young man in a gorgeous suit, a top hat, a civilized stick, and Erlang's legs crossed on the sofa in the passage, reading a newspaper.

"You are?" Karl glanced at the man and looked around again, trying to find the assistant who had been sitting there.

The Asian young man folded the newspaper and gently put it on the sofa, slowly got up, handed out his right hand, and smiled slightly: "Hello, Mr. Danham, my name is Ji An, you can call me Ji, I am here to find you." ”

"Hello, Mr. Ji." Carl saw that Ji An was gorgeously dressed and had an extraordinary temperament, and he thought that he was a powerful person, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands and said with a smile: "I don't know what Mr. Ji has to do with me?" ”

"That's right, I heard that Mr. Danham is working on a huge book, and I like movies more and am very optimistic about the prospects of movies, so I plan to invest in this movie, I wonder what Mr. Danham thinks?" Ji An sat back on the sofa, holding the civilization stick in both hands, and said with a smile.

In fact, it has been two months since Ji An arrived at the Vajra plane.

During this time, he has been riding an airship on the sea to find the location of Skull Island, but unfortunately the weather is not as good as expected, and he has been busy for two months without finding anything.

In desperation, he could only follow the plot, find the producer Carl first, and then follow him to Skull Island by boat.

I thought that after two months, these people had already left, but I didn't expect that when I visited, it turned out that he came early.

Then, he followed Carl here, got rid of his assistant, and got straight to the point.

As soon as Ji An's words fell, Carl's heart was surging, he originally thought that things were yellow, but he didn't expect another village, and asked impatiently: "I don't know how much Mr. Ji is going to invest?" ”

Although he didn't know where Ji An learned that he was going to make a blockbuster, but for this era where money is paramount, he can only give money, so he cares about this.

Ji An stretched out his right hand and flipped it twice: "One hundred thousand, how about it?" He didn't expect Carl to be so easy to deceive, and when he said it casually, this guy even believed it without asking.

"100,000 dollars?" Karl's eyes lit up, and he stared straight at Ji'an, wanting to make sure.

"Of course! Could it be that Mr. Danham wants a hundred thousand dollars? ”

Carl smiled awkwardly: "Blame me, blame me, so money... Mr. Ji, you see..."In order to make this masterpiece, he owed a lot of debts, and he didn't even pay for the charter of the ship, and he urgently needed funds in place.

"The money is not in a hurry, as long as you promise me one condition, I will pay immediately."

"On what terms?" Carl was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ji An strangely, does he still want to make that kind of film that is inappropriate for children?

Ji An took a fancy to his mind at a glance, shook his head and said: "Mr. Danham, don't think too much, my condition is: I myself will follow you to the destination to shoot, I don't know if you can agree to this condition?" ”

Hearing that it was this condition, Karl breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as Mr. Ji is not afraid of the hard life on the ship, there is no problem at all." ”

"Okay, deal!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Ji An's mouth, and he immediately took out his checkbook, signed a cash check for 100,000 US dollars, and handed it to Carl.

As for where this check came, Ji An won't tell you that you robbed the mayor of New York.

Next, the time and place were agreed, and the two left.

Time flew by, and soon it was evening.

Ji'an follows Carl's promise and goes to a dock in New York.

It didn't take long for Carl to come, and although he had money, the situation was very different from that in the original book, but for some reason, he still put the heroine of the plot, Ann. Dan Lao brought it with him.

Quiet. Dan Lao is very beautiful, with a curvy figure, fair skin like jade, blue eyes, and long blonde hair, at first glance it looks quite similar to the Black Widow in the Avenger League, and it is no wonder that he can charm the chimpanzee King Kong.

Carl introduced Ann. Dan Lao introduced Ji An, originally she didn't have much interest in Ji An, an Asian yellow race, but when she heard Carl say that Ji An turned out to be the boss of the investor, she was short of money, so she immediately changed her courteous smile and hurriedly greeted her.

"Hello, Mr. Ji."

"Hello, Miss Dan Law."

Ji An to Ann. Dan Lao's behavior is not strange, in this era, the whole United States is anti-Chinese, and it is good to see that the Chinese can not open their mouths to scold, so he is not angry, but very shamelessly stepped forward to hug him, kissed Ann's cheek, and said a few polite words, and then stepped on the smuggling ship chartered by Carl.

The environment inside the cargo ship is very bad, not only cramped and crowded, but even dirty and messy, swaying from side to side before the ship starts, Ji An is very worried that it will turn over at any time.

When Captain Angerhorn learned that Ji An was the big boss, even if he gave him the best room on the ship, and offered him the best food to entertain, and chattered about his smuggled products, Ji An saw that this guy was talking endlessly, and waved him out to drive the boat.

Not long after, the smuggling ship puffed into smoke and sailed away from the docks of New York and headed for Skull Island. (To be continued.) )
