Chapter 171: The Aroma of Oranges

The popularity of the series all over the world is inseparable from the credit of film and television adaptations.

At the beginning of the millennium, Hollywood giant Warner Bros. adapted its first film to earn 970 million global box office, pushing this IP masterpiece to completely sweep the world.

According to statistics, the total box office of the series of movies is more than 9 billion US dollars, and the total global revenue exceeds 30 billion US dollars, including sales, derivative peripherals, game copyrights, etc.

For LAp Culture & Entertainment Group, the entire IP can support the growth of multiple businesses from book publishing to film and television production, and even fashion and clothing.

It can be said to be an excellent lever, and the output value driven by LAp is enough, even if it is unbearable, it can occupy a place in the entertainment field by virtue of eating subsistence.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Charlotte.

Hall's suggestion that she go into LAp as a part-time editor was just out of fairness.

"Isabella was the first vice president of the student council at Harvard, and I promised to help her create a high-end private club." He brazenly said this sentence with confidence.

Charlotte shrugged her shoulders disapprovingly and complained: "It seems that my evaluation of her is very objective, hypocritical and naΓ―ve, and her head is always thinking about how to compile a glamorous social circle and occupy a central position." ”

Hall declined to comment, but was rather surprised.

When Charlotte stayed in the UK to apply for a degree in classics at Cambridge University, he was a little surprised, this time it was another posture of not fighting and not rushing for peace, and even the agitation method did not work.

Could it be true that you can see through Hongchen and be willing to be a lover?

"I'd like to work at LAp, but that's not fair enough, you'll have to let me join the screenwriting team for the remake." Charlotte was reserved enough, and finally turned back to the topic of bargaining.

Hall thought to himself that this was the case, and he said that Charlotte could not have lost her ambition, otherwise why should she maintain a good friendship with Luca and Monte, as far as he knew, the little lover had not been idle for half a year.

Aunt Caroline personally brought Luca's entire family to live in London, his wife was placed to work as clerks in the Hall family's estate, and the two daughters were placed in the best private primary schools.

Charlotte often visited Luca's house, and played mahjong with the latter's wife and Monte's wife, and the relationship was very close.

Actually, it is a bit of a statement that Luca asked him to hand over the gift this morning......

Hall looked at the little lover in front of him with interest, no matter what, this was exactly what he wanted, the ambitious flowers were exceptionally beautiful, so he nodded and asked, "What other conditions?" ”

"You're going to teach me how to write, too."

"Uh...... My dear, maybe I can help you ask a few famous writers to teach you. Hall scratched his head in embarrassment.

Except for the few well-known plot synopses that he still remembered in his head, it was a question of whether Charlotte's immature writing ability could fill in the retelling.

Rather than working hard to ruin the work in the end, it is better to wait for the original author to write it and spend money to buy the copyright.

He didn't have the part of cultivating the little lover in front of him to be a writer, and he co-signed the author with JK Rowling.

Charlotte blinked at him with big eyes for a moment, and suddenly smiled brightly and said in a soft tone: "Forget it, don't embarrass you, we're not here to talk about work today." ”

"Honey, didn't you say you were going to visit my bedroom? Although it was renovated, it kept the bed I slept in from childhood to adulthood......"

Her voice became softer and softer, and finally she opened her lips slightly, pursed her tongue, her eyes were misty, her hands were folded behind her head, she untied her high ponytail, and her hand holding the rubber band reached forward and beckoned, and walked backwards towards the second floor.

The wooden staircase resounded with a "thump" stampede, like Hall's heart rate at the moment.

He swore to God that he really didn't have any cheap thoughts when he came to Charlotte's old house, and he had to go back to the company for the annual meeting in the afternoon!

So Hall immediately jumped up from the sofa and rushed to the second floor with the momentum of the 100-meter king of the Eton College Sports Day...... You can't be late for a meeting, so you have to make a quick decision......

"Honey, wait a minute."

Charlotte raised a bottle of perfume in her hand and sprayed it in the air a few times, then turned around and pointed around: "This used to be a wardrobe, with a beautiful little dress that a little daughter bought with odd jobs...... It used to be a desk, and a little girl sat at the desk before every math test and cried secretly......"

The orange aroma is sweet, slightly sour and astringent; Clothes fall off one by one, tall figures are honest with each other; The air sprays thin and fine water vapor in an instant, and it is instantly atomized, draped on the fair skin and becomes new clothes.

Hall couldn't help but be stunned, Charlotte was dancing, tango solo, also a pas de deux.

Sideways, crossing, spinning, moving with the dance steps, he seemed to see a little girl growing up bit by bit.

Eventually Charlotte returned to his arms: "Welcome, to my past." ”

"I'm going to leave a mark on your past." Hall's blank head blurted out and added, "Everywhere." ”

Charlotte leaned back slightly: "Whatever you want." ”

Two thousand years ago, Cleopatra loved to bathe in perfumes with a variety of pungent smells; The ancient Romans liked to paint perfume all over any corner to hide the smell; The ancient Greeks loved to sprinkle perfume on religious ceremonies.

Two thousand years later, perfume no longer exists only for seduction and purification, but people give it meaning to life and thought for easy marketing.

Estee Lauder's new fragrance 'Confidant' launched this year has a slightly sour top note, a sweet and greasy middle note, and a refreshing and slightly cool finish note.

Hall tasted all the scents, and at the same time, his whole body was stained with the scent.

"Honey, do you think I don't have a talent for writing?"

"Of course not, in my heart you have ever told the best story."

"Would you like to teach me how to write?"

"Uh...... Yes...... Willing! ”

Hall finally gritted his teeth and jumped out of bed with his pants in his hands, hurriedly put on his clothes and ran out of the bedroom with his crotch in his crotch, and returned to the office for a meeting.

I never expected that the little lover was scheming and set up a bureau with his body, and he blamed him for being cheap, so he had to pretend to be affectionate, and he just finished tasting the incense and refused with the heart to refuse......

"My dear should go home early tonight, and I have a few bottles of perfume for you."

Charlotte reminded as she lay lazily on the bed, laughing briskly and wantonly. Right, that's fair!

Blindly weaving social circles is like a fine porcelain vase hanging in the air, which will shatter at the slightest touch.

"No hurry, Charlotte, we have a different starting point." She said to herself from the bottom of her heart.

On the other end, Hall, who was driving back to the company, called Brandon: "First, go to a cosmetics company to cooperate in the development of a perfume, and you can also publicly offer a reward, and you want a citrus flavor." Second, starting this month, the amount of money to be paid to Charlotte's bank account will be increased to Β£50,000. Third, go to Harvard University and buy a property that is suitable for a private club. ”

"Finally, find an opportunity to remind Connelly that Charlotte will be working on her crew."

That's fair, he concluded.
