Movie Master

Chapter 66: Chess board

"Gao Wen, it's the end of the season now, every week of the game can't be missed, is it alright if you come to Los Angeles today?" Lance looked at Gao Wen who was sitting next to him licking his fingers, and took a big bite of the cake contentedly, gloating asked.

Gritting his teeth, Gao Wen began to recite the Heart Sutra - I don't like sweets, I don't like sweets! Now is the middle of the season, professional players must strictly control their diet, although for rugby players, calorie intake does not need to be controlled, but it is midnight, cake is obviously not a right choice, not to mention, this week There are also games.

"This week's game is on Friday. I came over after saying hello to the coach. Anyway, I am also a ten-year veteran of the team, so I still have this privilege." Gao Wen patted his chest hard, and the sound was loud. , said proudly.

"Go on and take the red-eye flight, I'll drive you there." Theo interjected, Gawain's eyes widened immediately, "I'll drive by myself..." Then the voice trailed off under Theo's gaze , "Otherwise you can call a taxi..." But Theo ignored Gawain's plan, turned his head and looked at Lance, "Your gift is in the room, remember not to eat it before going to bed at night .”

Ian patted Gawain on the shoulder and gave him a comforting look. In fact, Theo was also worried about Gao Wen, so he drove himself to **** him. It's just that Theo is not used to expressing himself, from childhood to adulthood. Gawain waved his hand impatiently, muttering something like "I'm not a child", but after all he didn't continue to complain, looked up at Lance, and said with a playful smile, "Hey, this year's birthday present, I'm There is a surprise, you can throw a party!"

Lance didn't even raise his eyes, he was still immersed in his cake, and threw out a sentence, "Then what about the special birthday gift I gave you? Have you received it?"

"Hey! I haven't settled the score with you yet! I opened it directly in front of my teammates, and everyone burst into laughter. Until now, everyone is still teasing me about this!" Gao Wen gritted his teeth with hatred, and put the bowl The big fists were tightly clenched together, but looking at the nonchalant Lance, there was nothing he could do, and he was almost so depressed that he was about to get hurt internally.

Ian raised his eyebrows and asked enthusiastically, "What did Lance give you?"

Gawain's words came to his lips, but he choked immediately, his cheeks flushed red, making Ian even more curious, "Lance is playing tricks again this year? On my birthday, he gave me a pair of leopard-print handcuffs." , but what about my collection, what did he give you?"

Gao Wen stared at Ian with wide eyes, and seeing Ian's calm face, he could only look up to the sky and scream, "God! How did these people become my brothers!"

Lance suppressed a smile and raised his head, "My gift is very thoughtful, okay? If the quality is damaged, you can send it back with a one-year warranty." Then he looked at Ian and explained, "I gave it to you. He's a one-to-one inflatable doll and a whole box of condoms."

Ian tilted his head, "Is this gift too light?" He remembered that Lance gave a "Playboy" calendar one year, but the heads of all the female models in it were replaced by the Green Bay Packers Photos of teammates, the cover is still the head of the Green Bay Packers coach at the time, but when Gao Wen opened the gift, he was just seen by the general manager and coach of the team. That scene... This incident is still the Green Bay Packers. One of the anecdotes inside.

Gao Wen lowered his head and said with grief and indignation, "Why didn't you say that the puppet is a man!"

Puchi, Ian couldn't hold back, he slapped the table and laughed, even Theo couldn't help but shook his head. But Lance had an innocent look on his face, "I just want something new." Looking at the aggrieved Gao Wen, Lance laughed heartily.

This is the first time in half a year that Lance has laughed without any concealment. Only in front of them can he open his heart without any cover. There is no calculation, no conspiracy, no resentment, no caution, just simply doing yourself, your true self. Because they are his family.

After finishing the two pieces of cake, Lance was about to move on to the third piece, but Theo shook his head and put the cake away without giving Lance a chance to argue. Lance curled his lips and took his hands back. After all, he is not a child anymore, so he still has some self-control. As a result, Ian wiped his mouth with a tissue handed over, "Oh, by the way, I need your help with something. If you don't come today, I plan to call you tomorrow."

Lance had thought about it seriously today. If he wanted Ryan to really take the bait and give him a fatal blow, he had to give enough real and heavy bait.

For example, "Spiderman", everyone knows that this project can make money, just need to take a little risk, the question is just how much money can be made. Therefore, when Sony Pictures invested in this project, many people were willing to take the initiative to invest with their pockets. As a result, "Spider-Man" unexpectedly brought unimaginable surprises, directly changing the composition of the entire North American film market, and making Sony Pictures laugh from ear to ear.

Any smart businessman knows that if it is a project with steady profits, the profits will not be that great, and the competition will be more intense. For example, the "Star Wars prequel" series, everyone knows that it can make money, but not everyone can get a share. Therefore, if you want to really make money, you must take certain risks and bear certain risks of failure, and high investment can be exchanged for high returns.

Either it will be a big hit, like "Titanic"; or it will be a complete failure, like "Future Water World". This is the charm of gambling!

Therefore, Lance is going to throw out a proposal that is tempting enough to make Ryan willingly take the bait step by step. But Lance was able to use the memory of his previous life to ensure that this proposal would fail miserably. However, Ryan has always been cautious, and it is definitely not easy for him to muster up the courage to take that step.

Releasing the wind to George today is only the first step.

"Ian, call Barry Meyer of Warner Bros. tomorrow, make an appointment to meet, and say that I have a project in my hand that I want to talk to him about." Lance has several candidates in his mind, all of which are fine It's a disastrous piece, one that needs to be carefully laid out to make sure things go as expected.

"Mayer?" Ian frowned slightly, he knew the name, Barry Mayer, the CEO of Warner Bros. He doesn't know anything about movies, but he knows the composition of these management staff well. "Is the content of the appointment a project? What kind of effect do you want to achieve? As far as I know, if you want to talk about projects, It is most direct and more reasonable to find the general manager of the production department. If you find Mayer, then it is a cooperation between the companies. At present, you are not enough."

Naturally, Ian didn't need to beat around the bush with Lance, just speak the truth.

Lance took a deep breath. He really doesn't know much about company-level matters, which is indeed his shortcoming. "My thoughts are like this..." Lance said roughly what he thought.

Unknowingly, Theo also returned to the dining room, frowning slightly and thinking seriously. Lance looked up at his three older brothers, waiting for them to sort out their thoughts. Gawain was the first to speak, "So, you want to start fighting back?" Lance nodded, and Gawain clenched his fists excitedly, "It should have started long ago!"

Ian motioned for Gao Wen to be quiet, "According to your idea, it's not unbelievable, but we must not be in a hurry. We need to collect more information, not only to ensure that this movie project has enough temptation/attraction, but also to ensure that Ryan I can't see the loopholes in this project..." Ian paused here, "I don't know much about movies, but is this really possible? From a business perspective, it's almost impossible."

If anyone could have predicted that a business project that countless people are sure of is doomed to fail, then Wall Street would have been in chaos.

Lance nodded resolutely, "Leave this matter to me, I can be sure." Lance didn't even give himself room to maneuver.

If it was someone else, Ian turned around and left, but it was Lance in front of him, so he hesitated. Theo who was standing next to him said, "I believe in Lance, what do you think we should do?" Ian is an expert when it comes to the game between companies.

Ian took a deep look into Lance's eyes, then let out a long breath and nodded, "Besides, we also need to collect enough information to understand the relationship between various companies, and information between key people."

This was what Percy had been arranging, priceless. However, there is not much information left in Lance's hands~www.wuxiax.com~ Lance did not worry too much, nodded, "You know Percy's phone number."

Ian nodded to express his understanding, and then said, "I will make a call tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to the deputy manager of the production department of Warner Brothers, or the team leader with review rights, and then say that there is a project that I want to cooperate with... "Speaking of which, Ian looked at Lance, and Lance said, "Ancient Greek mythology." Ian pondered for a while, "Ancient Greek mythology project. Then, Theo, you will give Bowei Pictures tomorrow No, Disney's Robert-Iger made a phone call and said, "We intend to sign a long-term cooperation proposal with Disney, and we have a wealth of European mythology adaptation resources in our hands."

These details were conceived by Ian based on the information provided by Lance, and his head spun quickly, "Also, Lance, you pretend nothing happened, forget what I and Theo did, Just pretend that you don’t have this plan. Unless George asks, you can figure it out.” Ian paused again and shook his head, “Let me clear up the rest of the thinking first. Consider the overall situation. Let’s take the first step first and see how the other party responds, and then consider the next thing.”

Lance nodded, he thought so too. It is definitely not an easy task to destroy the diorama film industry, "My current task is to make 'City of God' well." Lance has a clear understanding of this.

"What about me?" Gao Wen looked at everyone blankly.

Lance laughed, "Play well this week, and take a victory as my birthday present~www.wuxiax.com~Welcome all readers to visit and read, the latest, fastest and hottest serial works are here~www .wuxiax.com~Mobile users please go to read.
