Chapter 147, the reserved Christmas Eve
.Makeup artist Stephen, with seven years of work experience; lighting artist Fat Roger, who has participated in the production of "Raiders of the Lost Ark"; there is also another assistant director who exists purely to assist David, and is also present.
In fact, when Chairman Mr. Lawrence informed that David Fincher would direct this movie, these veteran filmmakers were somewhat dissatisfied. What happened to have worked in Industrial Light and Magic for two years? What happened to have been the deputy director of "Ghost Records"? This does not mean that this kid can really direct such a movie.
However, the facts prove that Alice has a good vision. Even a 23-year-old young man, David Finch's level is not bad at all. After a period of preparation and running-in, these people who have been working in the film and television industry for many years have to admit that the second boss of the company has a good vision.
That's natural. After all, according to Alice's memory, David's first movie was filmed in 1985. Although it was just a music documentary, isn't it just related to literature and art? Anyway, "Invasion of Brain Cells" is not a masterpiece, and it's not bad to use it as his debut work instead of "The Drum of Life".
Just as David was about to say something to everyone, it was also in this building, and the chairman's office was in full swing.
Alice leaned against the window, and behind her was the beautiful Beverly Mountain. Unfortunately, the Mediterranean climate in California was abominable. No one could feel the heavy snowy atmosphere at this time, which made her very depressed.
"It's too extravagant to make a twelve-foot-tall Christmas tree with real trees! Our family has never been so exaggerated. At most, it's just a six-foot-tall simulation model."
"The house is big enough, of course it can be arranged like this."
Lawrence sat behind his desk and smiled, "Speaking of this, Alice, you are a millionaire now. Don't you plan to move into a larger and more luxurious house with your family? Even if you think Beverly's land is too expensive, there are many wealthy towns around Los Angeles, and there are enough places to build large real estate everywhere."
Alice touched her ear: "Not now, we are all in school. And Uncle Roger, my Sos group is here. And if you change the community, it would be a distance from Vinton Street. My friends are not yet in college. It would be bad for me to leave early."
"Tsk, don't do this."
On the reception sofa, Xixi was lying lazily, holding a cashew nut in her mouth: "Anyway, our family is yours. You have come to sleep in my bedroom a lot. There is a ready-made big house to live in. Of course, you don't need to buy another one. How about Alice, I'm right?"
It was really said that the central thing was happening. Alice blushed and said viciously: "You care so much! I just have to wait until I graduated from college before buying a big house, what about it? And I have to buy a super big one as soon as I buy it. I want to build a Yankee Stadium on the artificial island of Dubai!
Unfortunately, Alice's beautiful wishes failed to get the cooperation of the audience. Xixi asked in a daze: "Dubai? Artificial Island? Is there that kind of thing there?"
Lawrence was also a little confused: "I haven't heard of it. Dubai is not... a coastal city, but an artificial island?"
Well, this sentence is said ahead of time. Dubai Artificial Island was a miracle that began to be built after the 21st century. Alice touched her nose, and just as she wanted to say something else, the phone on the table suddenly rang.
"Hello, this is DreamWorks, I'm Lawrence...oh, Akaman?"
Mr. Lawrence, who had just answered the phone, paused: "Look for Alice? Oh... OK, she is here, Alice, Yuya's father is calling."
Thanks to the establishment of the great SoS group, the girls' parents also became friends. In addition to Ashley's parents flying around between Europe and the United States from time to time, history professor James, elite lawyer and accountant Sophie, dream factory Lawrence, and elite soldier Akaman of the Delta Special Forces, have also become friends who don't talk to the phone from time to time.
Just like at this moment, if Akaman hadn't immediately said he was looking for Alice, Mr. Lawrence would have been chatting with him.
"Hey, Uncle Leviel, are you asking me for something?"
The voice on the phone was very soft: "Alice, the partner you want me to find has arrived. His name is Dutch. He has participated in the Vietnam War. My comrade in the Marine Corps is now depressed. It would be better to hand over this kind of work to him."
Alice narrowed her eyes.
She did not answer immediately, but said loudly: "Uncle Roger, don't you have a big villa on Long Island? How about we spend together on Christmas this year?"
Lawrence smiled and obviously thought he guessed the reason for Akaman's call: "Of course it's okay. My house is bigger than the one in Los Angeles. Even if you invite half of the people from Wenton Street, it's okay!"
Sissi lay on the sofa: "Ha? I'm not living in Los Angeles? Going to New York? Hey, are you going back again?"
Yes, I have to go back again, that is, after immigrating to France, Lawrence came to Los Angeles as a Wall Street investment tycoon. So speaking, Sissi may not be less familiar with New York than Los Angeles... without considering age factors.
Alice nodded and then said to the phone: "Then Uncle Levier... Oh, do you have a friend? Ah~ Comrades~ Look, Uncle Roger, Uncle Levier has a comrade to entertain, can you go together?"
Of course, Lawrence gave the green light all the way. You should know that for the financial and economic people on Wall Street who stayed up late, were gentle and had average physical fitness, strong and capable soldiers, or strong men of the Delta Special Forces and Marines, of course, they were really the ones they wanted to meet!
So, Alice said to the phone: "Then let it be, Uncle Leviel, we will meet at Uncle Roger's villa on Long Island on Christmas Eve, hey!"
The phone is detained.
There are outsiders here, and many things to say cannot be said explicitly, but as long as you know that you have found someone, there is no problem.
The profits of the underground world are so high and stimulating, but Alice will never miss it. For three months, in addition to daily life and normal handling, she is also studying how to find an agent to create the first sky for her in the underground world.
If you talk about intermediaries, Uncle Akaman is of course the best choice. He was a person who participated in the Vietnam War and his understanding of Southeast Asia was amazing. Of course, it would not be possible to let his friend Wuya's father take the risk himself, but it would be easier to ask him to help find a suitable person.
Alice looked out the window. With Christmas time approaching, every household was preparing for Christmas Eve, and shopping malls also launched Christmas promotions early. As for the Black Friday of each Christmas promotion, haha, the last week of November passed early, recalling the madness at this time of year... It was really comparable to the big purchases before the Chinese Spring Festival.
"Speaking of this, how are David talking there?"
Alice turned and said, "I'm still waiting for this movie to be released next spring. They have been arguing about the heroine's hair color for half an hour. Is it over?"
Sissi was still lying on the sofa: "Hair color? Are you sure they have been struggling with this problem! Oh my God, can it be done?"
Mr. Lawrence was also stunned: "How did you know?"
Well, this is a meaningful question, but Alice can't answer it.
