Chapter 155: The Joker
Brandon closed the door with a calm and gentle movement, and turned to walk towards the next room.
When passing by the decorative paintings hanging on the walls of the corridor, he paused, and stood with his hands in his hands and raised his head slightly to look at the paintings, the glass surface of the frame outlining the faint silhouette of a human figure.
He took off his gold-rimmed glasses and froze for a moment, smiling on his face, putting them back on and straightening his tie against the glass side of the frame.
LAp acquired Raiden Pictures, wholly owned Leeds United Football Club in England, signed a long-form writer JK Rowling, owns 50% of the copyright of the current popular magic school uniform, and is about to invest in cAA artist agency.
The name spoof originated from the product of tax avoidance, and unconsciously extended its business tentacles to the film industry, sports, culture, fashion and other fields, and grew into a veritable cultural and entertainment group.
And he, Brandon Campbell, was a young elite who had just graduated and was trying to compete for succession in the family business......
He's starting to like wearing glasses and playing mature, which helps him to laugh and talk to the powerful.
So, cAA is sure to be LAp's next great trophy!
"Lady Winona, thank you for accompanying me to last night's reception, I wonder what I can do for you?"
Brandon suppressed the surging thoughts in his heart, knocked on the door in front of him and asked.
Winona's delicate makeup face froze slightly, and she leaned over to the next room with her hand on the door, "What about Mr. Hall?" You said last night that he was going to thank me personally. ”
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Hall's schedule has changed and he needs to go to Las Vegas to handle the work himself, can you let me in?" Brandon gestured, "You can tell me about your demands, job opportunities, living assistance, or whatever." ”
Winona raised her voice in disbelief and asked, "Are you serious?!" ”
"Of course, Mr. Hall has always been generous, as long as you have a worthwhile ......"
"Bang!"
Winona slammed the door slammed into the door, put her fingers in her hair with her hands in her head, looked around with her head in her hands, kicked the door hard, and then fell to the floor in a daze.
Yesterday afternoon, in the conference room, she heard the unbearable words of those big names who treated celebrities with extreme contempt, and she thought it was Hall's rejection of her deliberate chance encounter, so she consciously said goodbye and left.
But a few hours later, he received a phone call from Brandon, inviting her to attend the reception as a female companion.
Full of anticipation and excitement, I didn't sleep all night, got up early to put on makeup, but only waited for some words like talking about buying and selling.
She must have looked like a clown at this point.
Winona's eyes were red and moist, and she regretted it, knowing that she would never listen to the instigation of her agent and the Colombian executive.
They all praised her for being much more beautiful than Connery, and that she was more suitable for the heroine than Connery......
"Knock knock."
There was another knock on the door, and Winona ignored it, wiped it and walked into the bedroom to quickly pack her suitcase.
Came to the door to take a deep breath, tried to look as relaxed and calm as possible, put on a pair of large sunglasses that covered half of his face, opened the door and said, "Tell Mr. Hall that his character is very bad." ”
With that, he pushed Brandon out of the way, and walked out with his suitcase.
"Please tell me about the Columbia Pictures executive who helped you create the chance encounter, Mitch Schulhoff boarded a flight to Hollywood half an hour ago."
Winona was stunned, and subconsciously refused: "Who is Mickey?" I don't know what you're talking about, maybe I can help you take it to Disneyland and tell Donald Duck about it. ”
"I know the name of the Columbia Pictures executive, and he doesn't deserve my personal appointment. The reason why you're standing here and talking to me is because your parents gave you a pretty face, but a single wild card is just a clown. ”
Brandon pointed his finger at his temple, "Add here, get together two wild cards to kill, learn to use your wit." I am very much looking forward to the opportunity to meet Ms. Winona again. ”
This time it was his turn to turn and go, without hesitation.
Winona was left standing still, blinking blankly and lost in thought.
Hall did decide to go to Las Vegas on the spur of the moment, but not for Donald, the new friend he made last night.
Las Vegas has a top-notch firearms culture, from AK47s to towed cannons, ground tanks, skyscraper gunships.
It is very suitable for Hall to simply vent his frustration at this moment.
The first consequence of the morning horror story has been extended, that is, he has lost his "freedom to flirt with girls" forever.
Nigo, who has nothing, is better than him, and people can at least uphold optimism and use exhaustive methods to talk to pickled girls; On the other hand, Winona Ryder, a high-value Hollywood female star who took the initiative to send it to the door, did not dare to contact him easily.
In later generations, the tragedy of the strong son in Mingzhou is vivid, this kind of thing is not afraid of 10,000, just in case, it happens once and is disgusting enough for a long time.
Hall once denigrated a certain teacher's statement that he was "not interested in money", but now he can understand that the subtle changes in mentality and ideology are not enough for outsiders.
…………
As night fell, Hale pulled the bolt and flipped the last car with the cannon.
Sony North America President Mitch Schulhoff arrived in Los Angeles in a low-key manner and quietly had a private appointment with Lou Coman and Herbert Allen Jr.
"Sorry, the paparazzi all over Hollywood are acting restless, and this is the only place to avoid their view."
On a farm far from Los Angeles, Lou Coman sincerely apologized.
Schulhoff's face was tense, but his tone was pretending to be relaxed and he smiled: "I have to say that this has to make me question your company's market share, man, you told me before that you even have the ability to manipulate public opinion and influence the outcome of the election, don't you?" ”
"Mr. Mitch, do you need to salute when you see Mr. Akio Morita?" Little Herbert asked aloud as he sat next to the standing lamp in the living room.
Schulhoff raised his chin proudly: "Of course not, Akio Morita respects me very much, as well as the American-style culture of freedom and equality." Even when I see the Neon Emperor, I have the right to demand equality. ”
"But you need to salute when you see that boy."
Little Herbert turned off the vertical light with a "click" of the switch, "We are no exception. Even if Coman and all the Columbia Pictures executives stood in the rain and waited silently for a long time, Brother Gongzi had the right to get in the car and leave without looking at him. ”
"You don't know the media, you don't know the topic of public opinion that this young English aristocrat himself has. You must know that the ceremony of his coronation was done live throughout the English-speaking world, and tens of millions of families watched the testimony at the same time. ”
"Did you watch that live stream? I watched it, and the scene where he rode a horse and ran wildly with a gun was very chivalrous. ”
Schulhoff unconsciously raised his eyebrows and explained in a slow manner: "In any case, this has brought a lot of public pressure to our acquisition, and now the public is clamoring that Columbia Pictures belongs to the United States." ”
He didn't believe that the boy had such a huge influence, and nine times out of ten, the two cunning guys in front of him secretly fanned the flames, hoping to use public opinion to coerce Sony to raise the purchase price.
But not to mention influence, that Brother Childe himself is indeed an extremely powerful spoiler, and Wall Street M&A tycoon Kravis is appearing everywhere as a victim.
So Schulhoff woke up in the morning in New York and opened his eyes to see the overwhelming news that Hugo Hall might buy Columbia Pictures, and he appeared that night on a dilapidated farm in the suburbs of Los Angeles.
Hollywood has only one acquisition target left for Columbia Pictures, and Sony must not lose, or he cannot lose.
Norio Oga's trust and favor could not save him from the wrath of the old man Morita.
