Chapter 203 The sound of rain in the middle of the night
I was a little confused by the Hum and Ha. Since we discovered that Callum and I Film Company alliance and we found out that they might have had something to do with Chaplin, the relationship between DreamWork and their alliance has become much distant. Especially the conspiracy website that Chuck recently put on me has also made me guard against them. Therefore, our relationship seems to be no different from before, but it is actually very polite. Now they say they have something to discuss with me, and their expression is so serious, so my heart is getting pounding.
"Tom, just say something, don't be so nervous." I smiled.
Tom's mouth.
"Andre, your "Brave Heart" is quite popular among the audience, right?" Alcott scratched his head awkwardly.
"It's okay, it's also the audience that praises me. Alcott, just say something, don't turn the corner." I squeezed my eyes at him.
Alcott then took a deep breath and said to me: "Andre, that's right. Our two companies want to modify the cinema and change it to an audio cinema, but they don't know..." Alcott said here, his expression became a little embarrassed, and he looked at me secretly, his eyes full of begging.
I know the fact that their alliance and Chaplin were hooked up, and they also knew that I knew that over time, so for a long time, they have been very arrogant towards me. After all, Chaplin is behind them and Adolf is in his eyes?
But now the situation has become different. Since the patent rights of audio movies have all fallen into my hands, and the patent rights of audio movies have become something more profitable than silent movies, they can't sit still. After all, they are also small companies, and they chose to follow Chaplin and Adolf. It was purely for survival reasons. Now I firmly hold on to the patent rights of audio movies. If I have a good relationship with me, it means they cannot have relevant technology. Seeing that other film company bosses got the permission of audio movies from me but they didn't, the two guys might be panicked.
In Hollywood, being behind is not as simple as being beaten, but being eaten by accident. If other companies show audio movies but continue to follow Chuck with silent movies, the only thing waiting for them is bankruptcy. After all, Adolf is rich and powerful. Paramount can live for seven or eight years without making movies. They won’t do it. With the foundation of Callum and Aisina, it would be great if he could last for two years.
Since we have not had a good life with Chu Ke, these two guys naturally have to stick to me with shame.
I originally disliked such people the most, but fortunately they were also living for the film company. As the boss of the film company, I can understand their mood. Who doesn’t want their company to get better and better? Besides, these two people were indeed good to me in the past.
"You want to buy audio movie projection equipment from Factory 5?" I asked.
"Yes, yes!" Baldwin and Alcott lit their heads like chickens pecking at rice.
I grinned and patted their shoulders and said, "Hey, I thought it was a big deal, it was just a screening equipment. No problem, if you have money, everyone will make money, go find Hawthorne and Barra, they will sell it to you."
"Really?" Alcott and Baldwin couldn't believe their ears after hearing what I said. Originally, they didn't have much hope.
"Really, why am I lying to you?" I spread my hands.
"Andre, I..." Baldwin held my hand and couldn't speak.
"Andre, don't take some of the things we did before..." Alcott looked at me embarrassedly and whispered.
"That's what Tom, Alcott, we are all friends, and DreamWorks, Callum, and Aisina are both fourth-class film companies. We should help each other to fight the acquisitions of those big companies. Let it go." I picked up a glass of wine from the waiter and raised it high to both of them.
Baldwin and Alcott were very moved, and they also brought the wine glass and drank the red wine inside.
After sending them away, Dunar behind me was a little dissatisfied: "Boss, the relationship between these two guys and Chuk is also indescribable. Why should we sell audio movie screening equipment to them? Isn't that strengthening their strength?!"
I smiled slightly: "Dunal, I would rather have one more friend than one more enemy in Hollywood. Adolf's group of forces are too powerful and we can't deal with them at all, so differentiating them is the best way to do it. At present, the patent for audio movies is our best weapon. The reason why they followed Chaplin and Chuck was nothing more than the survival of the company. If it were us, we would do this. Now they took the initiative to show their kindness to us, which means they have realized that there will be no good life with Chuck. If we sell them a favor, they will also repay kindness. On the contrary, if we are not willing to open the door of friendship to them, it will undoubtedly push them to Chuck.
Will I follow Chuck unswervingly against us? Do I have to grasp the degree of doing things and forgive others when you have to. Of course, some people, such as Chaplin, are people who cannot forgive me no matter what!"
I sneered, finished drinking the wine in the glass, stared at Chaplin, who was approaching Marskolov, who was not far from me, and licked his lips.
The rest was almost over, so I took Jiabao out to continue chatting with these guys. Sisimil caught me and insisted on asking me to give advice on his movies. He also said, not listening to good things, just wanting to listen to picky words.
I was so entangled by him that I couldn't do anything, so I had to pick a few points from his movie and told him. Dimil nodded repeatedly.
"Andre, you're right. Actually, I discovered these problems when I was watching the sample film, but I didn't want to change them anymore at that time. The shooting time was too long. For me, it was a torment to shoot this movie. Andre, to be honest, I can't shoot such a big-themed and big-scene movie. I would rather go back to my original shooting road. It turns out that I still think you are nothing great, but this time I understand that you and I are still far from each other." Xixi seemed to be drinking a lot.
"Andre, it's not easy to be a director, it's not easy! If you do it well, other directors in the company will stumbling on you. If you don't do it well, the boss will be the first to let you go. I don't know how many times I have been scolded for this movie. Haha, next time, I will never do such a thankless thing again. Andre, it turns out that everyone says "Washington" and "Brave Heart" are the battle for kings. I'll watch it. This time, the one who won this final victory must be your movie! If you don't say anything else, just talk about the heroine in this movie, my one is like a bald duck than a white swan compared to Miss Gabo!"
The seat
Seeing that he was drunk, I called the waiter to help him down, and then turned around and saw Jiabao smiling at me.
"What's wrong? I'm so happy? Did Dimil's words just now?" I smiled.
Jiabao glanced at me, held my arm and twisted it gently: "You, it seems that you are not tired yet."
We turned around and chatted with Marskolov for a few words, and then I saw a small figure walking over.
Wearing a small black hanging dress, maroon curly hair, a tall nose and an elegant smile, who else could be there if it weren't for Lenny?
The people at the cocktail party greeted her one by one, and she responded politely one by one. The elegance and unique temperament made many people fascinated.
When I came to me, I looked at Jiabao holding my arm, and the smile on Lenny's face suddenly dropped a little.
"Why, my eldest lady is actually late?" Marskolov said with arms around Leni and lovingly.
"My car broke down, and it took a long time to come over." Leni said with a pout, then looked at me again.
"Okay, okay, I'll buy you a new one tomorrow." Marskolov gave me a look, then found an excuse to escape.
At this time, the dance music happened to be played, and Dunar took the opportunity to invite Garbo to dance, leaving only Lenny and me.
"I want to dance!" Lenny said to me with his little mouth bulging.
"I can't dance this waltz," I said, pointing to the dancing people around me.
"Who said that you were going to waltz? I was talking about three steps and four steps!" Lenny walked up to me, approached my body, and looked at me with her watery eyes.
"Okay, okay, three or four steps, my eldest lady, as long as you don't feel embarrassed, I'm happy to accompany you." I put my waist on her waist and provoked my patent dance with the music - three or four steps.
"That Garbo is pretty." Leni leaned into my arms and suddenly whispered.
A scent of vinegar came to my face.
"He's pretty. She's the most popular female movie star in Hollywood now. I...ah." I gritted my teeth.
Looking down, Lenny lowered her head and took a bite on my chest.
"I haven't seen you for a while, why have you become a puppy?" I said, rubbing the bitten muscle.
"Just puppy! Who made you flirt with flowers everywhere?" Lenny rolled my eyes, his eyes glaring blankly, and he looked like it was about to rain.
I couldn't help laughing: "Leni, isn't I attending your father's movie premiere? Since I'm here, of course I have to bring people from the company. Jiabao is the number one actress in DreamWorks. He will bring his own female movie stars to the premiere. This is also the Hollywood rule." I pointed to the company bosses who danced with beautiful actresses in the distance: "Look, don't they all bring them."
"I don't care, no matter if others take me, I just won't let you take me!" Lenny glared at me.
"Why haven't you come to see me recently?"
"I've been busy lately. You don't know. Now I'm almost busy and don't dare to be careless at all." I told the truth.
"I don't believe it! Every time you say you're busy, are you as busy as my dad? He can go home and chat with me every night, so you can't take time to see me?" Leni didn't believe it at all. In her opinion, my things are so
It's just an excuse.
I whispered, "Leni, you don't know. Now I am standing on the edge of a cliff. There are many people who want to deal with me, so I am so busy that I don't have time to see you. You don't want me to fall into someone else's trap, right?"
My words made Lenny's face turn pale. She grabbed my clothes tightly and said nervously: "What's the matter? Who is going to attack you!? Chaplin?! Are you injured?!" She said while seeing if I was injured.
I hugged her and said, "Stop watching, it's in public, don't worry, I'm fine."
"Who is going to attack you? Do you need money? I have a little bit of it!" Leni looked at me worriedly, his little face turned slightly red due to nervousness.
I shook my head and smiled, "Don't ask too much about this, anyway, I'm fine. Who am I? The most popular new director in Hollywood, how could anyone else harm me! Keep your little money for shopping and buy clothes by yourself, don't dress up like that old woman."
I pointed to an obese woman sitting next to the table eating and drinking.
"You are just like her!" Leni gently hit me, and then stopped getting angry, buried his head in my arms and murmured, "I don't want anything else, I just want you to be safe."
Listening to her words and looking at the little man in my arms, my heart trembled and my arms were hugging tighter.
The premiere of "Washington" was noisy until after 11 o'clock in the evening. When Dunar and I came out of the room, it started to rain outside. Although it was not very heavy, the temperature dropped a lot.
"Dunal, you take Jiabao and the others back first, and I will take Lennie home." I held an umbrella in one hand and held Lennie in the other hand and said to Dunnie.
Dunar nodded without saying anything and took Jiabao into the car.
When I saw Jiabao getting on the car, I looked back at me. The eyes were also watery, with a little sadness.
"Holkina, go to Mr. Marskolov's house." After entering the car, I slapped the rain on my body and ordered Holkina.
Holkina nodded, started the car, and left the glorious cinema in the rain.
It originally took 40 minutes to get from Los Angeles to Marskolov's home. Due to rain, the car didn't drive very quickly. Therefore, when I arrived outside the villa area of Marskolov's home, it was already one o'clock in the morning.
"Holkina, can I park here?" Lenny said with a smile to Holkina in front.
"Leni, this place is still a long way from your home. You won't have to get off here, right?" I said in confusion.
Where we are located is a highway outside the villa area, with tall poplar trees on both sides, and the street lights on both sides of the street emitted a dim light, leaving no one in the open.
"No, I just want to go down and take a walk. Can it?" Lenny looked at me and shook my arm.
"But it's raining outside, it's wet and damp, and it's already very late now." I pointed to the car window.
Lenny smiled and said, "I don't care. I have never been walking in the rain with people. Look outside, it's not heavy, how beautiful, let's go, let's go."
I was almost broken by her, so I had to ask Holkina to stop the car, then open the door and walk out.
As soon as I left the car door, a gust of wind blew over and I couldn't help but shivered. Look at Lenny again, shivering under my umbrella in a small hanging skirt.
"Put on the clothes! If you freeze it, your dad will not tear me." I took off my coat and put it on Lenny's body.
Lenny pursed her lips and laughed: "I knew you loved me the most."
I shook my head and turned the umbrella toward her.
The two of them walked slowly on the road, and occasionally said something, Holkina was following behind in a car, not far or near.
"Have you seen Heidi recently?" Lenny looked up and looked at me.
"I saw it when it was released, but I haven't seen her anymore. Where are you?" I asked Leni.
Lenny leaned her head against my shoulder: "I played with her for a long time last week."
I whispered, "How is she now?"
Lenny shook his head: "It's not very good. He only eats and sleeps all day, and he doesn't go out at all. That Henry
"That's good, Lenny, next time you see Heidi, tell her not to give up, I will definitely find a way to help her solve this problem." I said in a deep voice.
Lenny smiled: "I told her that too. I told her Andre is the most capable one and will definitely save her!"
I looked at Lenny, who was so exquisite that she was intoxicated by the umbrella, looked at her smile, lowered her head and kissed her gently on the forehead.
Lenny blushed and asked me in a low voice: "Andre, do you like Heidi?"
Lenny's words made me wonder how to answer. I looked at her and stopped.
A strong wind blew, and the surrounding branches made a rustling sound, and drops of water droplets as big as beans fell from above, smashing onto the umbrella and making a slap.
How should I answer?
