After walking into DreamWorks headquarters from the back door, Alice and Maiya walked directly to the elevator and quickly arrived at the chairman's office on the top floor of the company. During this process, I didn't see anyone, after all, I bypassed the front desk.

When Alice had just walked to the door, she heard David Finch's laughter sounding inside: "Oh, is that right?? I'm so looking forward to it, Mr. Lawrence, I must..."

"What are you talking about? It's so lively."

Alice pushed the door straight in, and saw Lawrence sitting face to face with David Finch on the reception sand, obviously talking about something, and David looked extremely excited.

"Oh, Alice, Maiya, you're here."

Lawrence looked up and saw the visitor. He was happy first, and then smiled mysteriously: "It seems that you have seen the appearance at the door? How about it, do you think of it?"

Alice smiled bitterly and said, "Haha...it's so spectacular, it's completely different from the general press conference."

Wuya shook her head and sat on the sand and asked, "Did you send Sabastian to appease the reporters? I remember, he seems not good at speaking, right?"

"No matter what we say, do, or do, reporters will write things as they want, so just fool them."

Lawrence made a big move and poured a cup of tea for Alice and Maiya: "It's you, Alice, this is the second movie that has not been attended. Among the screenwriters in the entire industry, your unique look is rare."

Alice laughed dryly and took the tea: "It's really busy this time. It takes at least half a day to attend the screening, which is enough for me to write another script."

It is well known that someone's work efficiency is really good. Over such a long time, Lawrence also knew how long it took for her daughter's friend to compile an indos system program? The so-called "Monthly and Seconds" are millions, and this sentence is really suitable for her.

"In addition, you really expected the box office results."

Lawrence got up and took a document from his desk, and Alice reached out to take it: "Because during the promotion process, we focused on telling you that this is your script, the daily box office was so many percentage points higher than the same period. However, since it is essentially an art film, the data will go down in the next few days."

Alice looked at the weekly box office results of invading brain cells in a plain manner: "Based on this score, after the schedule ends, our box office should be around 40 million. Considering the plot of catching murderers in it, the results are average as a commercial film, but for art films, it is already a hot sale."

Lawrence nodded and said, "The director is a newcomer, and the actors are all second- and third-tier, so the shooting cost is also very low. But Alice... are you a little... too calm?"

"calm?"

Alice shook the document and raised her eyebrows and said, "It's just 40 million, and that's just the total box office. With the promotional expenses, the final net profit is probably only 5 million. It's not a big deal, why... OK OK, I know I can't compare the ghost record, it's not okay..."

Looking at Lawrence's speechless look, Alice said that she didn't mean it. After all, the 21st century hit movies are often hundreds of millions of dollars in box office. A 40 million movie is not a representative work of a well-known movie star, and it really can't arouse Alice's excitement at all.

However, compared with the results of the films in the same period in the 1980s, the estimated box office of 40 million is really not low... As an art film.

After that, there was a random chat and also talked about the investment of funds. Lawrence of course welcomed this. After all, when he first established DreamWorks two years ago, the entire start-up capital was only barely 10 million. After this period of exhibition, although the scale has expanded a lot, it is still far inferior to the dividends after Microsoft's listing.

Since Alice and Maiya had already had "lump" before leaving for the forest cabin, they saw that it was about four o'clock in the afternoon, and both of them couldn't help but get hungry.

"Then let it be, Uncle Roger, the first fund will be made on the fifth day of listing. I personally estimate that the amount of dividends will not be less than five million, which will definitely double the company's scale."

As he said that, Alice stood up and said, "Let's go, Wumi, let's go find a Burger King nearby. Oh my god, you're really starving."

"Wait a moment."

Lawrence suddenly raised his hand: "As we chatted, I almost forgot to tell you something very important."

After calling the two, Lawrence quickly got up and took out a letter from the desk drawer.

"You just talked to David before entering the house that a Hollywood industry gathering will be held on February 24. The organizer is Johnny Swan, chairman of Universal Pictures. The bosses, executives of several major film companies, as well as many celebrity actors, directors and screenwriters will appear. Alice, this is an invitation for you."

"My...invitation!?"

This really surprised Alice. She took the envelope, which did say "Miss Alice received" on it, and was covered with ink with the Universal Video logo pattern.

"And it's actually done so exquisitely!?"

Lawrence smiled and said, "Although Mr. Swan has been a British immigrant of four generations, his family has always strictly abide by the traditional British life. You will know when you see him, and I can't even learn that Oxford accent."

Wu Mi suddenly burst into laughter.

Lawrence said in surprise, "Is there anything funny?"

Wuya smiled again: "Mr. Lawrence, it's fine for others. The French doctrine of Oxford accent makes me feel really weird."

"Uh, ah!"

Lawrence quickly coughed hard, but in fact he didn't need any London accent or Oxford accent. His accent is now all messy. He is changing to the south, with a New York accent that obviously has a French flavor. Most people really can't learn it even if they want to.

In this way, after visiting DreamWorks and handling related matters, Alice and Wumei first ate Burger King near the company, and then parted ways. Someone wanted to drive a Hummer and then go around Santa Monica, while Alice returned home directly.

The sun sets and when the taxi slowly stops in front of Room 15 on Winton Street, it’s time for supper.

"Hmm the taste of cream mushroom soup."

As soon as she got off the car, Alice asked about a familiar smell: "Yes, it's the smell of mother."

"Hey, sister!"

Just then, a more familiar voice suddenly appeared not far away: "Save me."

"Woooooo!"

Alice immediately turned around, looking stunned.

I saw that deep in the street of Winton, Oscar... Well, he was obviously walking with Caesar, but when he saw Alice arrive home, Caesar ran towards Room 7 like a wild horse that was rid of its reins. Poor Oscar was a big boy who couldn't withstand the strength of a one-and-a-half-year-old orangutan and was dragged to run!

"Wow, beautifully done Caesar!"

Alice immediately smiled gloatingly and said, "That's it! Hurry up and pull Oscar down!"

"Alice, I didn't play with you!"

In just over a dozen seconds, Caesar ran happily to Alice, with his legs standing on his back. It excitedly grabbed Alice's arm with both hands and kept moaning.

"Oh my God... I'm so tired..."

And behind him, Oscar was as if he had just been salvaged from the sea, and his sweat was soaked in his thin sweater.

"Go and take a shower now, silly boy."

Alice patted her brother's shoulder in love: "It's rare to see if you are interested in taking Caesar for a walk. Have you become good buddies?"

Oscar was so tired that he was breathing, but he didn't have time to answer the question. However, Caesar seemed to understand, and might have followed suit and reached out to put Oscar on his shoulder.

Then, he actually smiled!

“Huhu”

"Wow, what are you doing?"

At this time, the door of the house opened, and Hannah, wearing a thick fur skirt, walked out of the house: "Why is Oscar so tired?"

Alice smiled and walked towards her sister: "It's nothing, your brother just did some sports with Caesar that can communicate with each other."

As she said that, she opened her small leather bag and brushed it, but took out the invitation: "Dangdang Hannah, guess this is a magic horse?"

Hannah shrugged and smiled playfully: "Has someone written a love letter to you?"

Alice did not answer immediately, but opened the envelope first. After looking at the contents of the letter, she said, "Well, maybe it was written by a girl..."

“To Alice:”

It starts with the title of the song just right, and the content of the article is as follows: "We are honored to notify you that the Hollywood industry gathering on the motherboard of Universal Films will be held at 8 pm on February 24th on the 12th floor of the Imperial Hotel. This gathering will be attended by many celebrities in the industry, which will be a great opportunity for you to make friends with people in the industry..."

This is the general content. It is worth noting that the fonts of the letter article are very beautiful and beautiful, and they are still rare in floral characters. You can tell at a glance that they were written by the lady of a noble family.

Moreover, Alice clearly saw that this letter may not be completely standard invitation letter, because the other party's grammar application is so exciting that it can only master the English literature students majoring in prestigious universities.

"A fourth generation immigrant, but has always maintained a traditional British life?"

The answer seemed very obvious. Looking at Hannah's curious look, Alice smiled very satisfied: "It seems that I have to go to this party."
