"What else is going on, looking for investment puppets."

Charlize was sitting lazily on the sofa, raising Erlang's legs, holding coffee, red chun lightly opening up, tasting with a small sip, and a smile on the glamorous face, said lightly.

Andy looked at the script casually, frowning and asked, "Looking for your investment?"

Andy is no stranger to this "Ninth District" movie. He has also seen it in previous lives. The film tells of an earth man who is infected with a mysterious virus and is gradually becoming an alien. In order not to become a researcher, Subject was subjected to inhuman experiments, and he only fled to the only safe place-the story of the ninth district.

This 'dirty' sci-fi movie in the previous life not only gained a lot of money at the box office in the form of a dark horse, but its new director also officially made his mark in Hollywood because of this film.

However, Andy couldn't figure out how to see this script in Charlize, and listening to Charlize's tone, it seemed that the other party had come to Charlize to invest.

"I have seen the script, and the idea of ​​the story is based on the experience of this newcomer director Neil Bromkamp in the apartheid period in South Africa. Although he is a newcomer, he has also shot many short films, such as Alien "and several other science fiction short films.

Originally, this "Ninth District" film has received Sony's investment, but during the preparation period, Sony withdrew its capital and the shooting plan was put aside. Because the film will be shot on the ground in slums in Africa, so Neil Blom Camp sent this script to me through director Peter Jackson, hoping to get my support and investment.

I like this story, especially those aliens living in the slums who are squeezing metaphors for the lower classes, and those proud agents metaphorically for the upper classes. It encompasses both racial discrimination and inter-class conflicts. "

"How much?" Andy closed the script and asked with an eyebrow.

"Thirty million dollars."

"If you like, cast it ..."

Before Andy's words were finished, Charlize stunned him with a grimace, "Pretend to be stupid!"

"Cough ..." Andy coughed twice before he said anything, Charlize said, "I'm going to be the producer of this movie!"

"It's okay, you can't really go to Africa with the crew." Andy frowned at Charlize, who never gave up, reluctantly compromised, then sat next to Charlize, stretched out her arms and chuckled her and chuckled: "Now These people are really doing everything they can. "

Andy did not refuse, and the slightest discomfort in Charlize's heart also disappeared. To be honest, in Hollywood, her relationship with Andy Smith was simply an open secret. Although there is no evidence, everyone knows Charlize's child. Who is my father.

And this time, Andy was able to agree. For Charlize, the meaning was extraordinary, and she knew that the other party was using her to attract Andy's attention. She also readily accepted that with the increasing wealth and power of Andy , Charlize is no longer satisfied as an invisible person. Although she is underground, she does not mind showing her presence in Hollywood!

At the same time, in the Vita Studios branch in Hollywood, Peter Jackson put a cup of coffee in front of Neil Blomkamp, ​​reached out and patted the other's shoulder, and said, "Relax, be patient, it will be good News. "

"Peter, are you sure Charlize Theron will invest? Although mapping apartheid will resonate with some of her, but it's $ 30 million ..." Neil Bromkamp still wonders why Peter Jackson Will let him have any luck with South African diamonds.

The figure was a little blessed, and a bearded Peter Jackson shook his head and laughed, sitting back on his boss chair. He knew that there was some information circulating in the upper Hollywood, just that the newcomer Neil Bromkamp would not know. After groaning, he said, "The script is for Charlize Theron. As long as she can move her, then don't worry about investing. You should also know that Charlize Theron gave birth to a daughter last year, right?"

Upon hearing this, Neil Blomkamp frowned slightly. He naturally knew the news, and it was still a scene of enthusiasm. Various media were looking for Dad's daughter for Dad, but the news soon became It was suppressed, and then slowly no more media reports, but there are many rumors on the Internet and in private, and it is impossible to distinguish between true and false. Of course, among these rumors, the most likely is that the child's father is The youngest super-rich man, the new Hollywood giant, looked at Peter with some uncertainty and asked, "Willn't it really be that person?"

Peter Jackson took out the pipe and took a sip, spit out the smoke, and said lightly: "Although there is no evidence to prove it, this is an open secret in the upper Hollywood circles. Everyone is secretive. You know it. It ’s good to know that the current South African diamond is hot in Hollywood, and I have a good relationship with Sialon. I believe in your talent, and I also believe in her vision. This is to be delivered to that person. I believe he is Don't miss this script. For some people, 30 million is really a small sum. "

Neil Blomkamp, ​​who knew this, shook his head and grinned, looking grateful to Peter, "Thank you, Peter, I really don't know how to thank you ..."

"Well, don't say that, we are friends, and I believe in my own vision, your talent is beyond doubt. If no one really invests, I will invest in your own pocket, and I believe that the film you make will shock the world. The film industry. "Peter Jackson is really optimistic about each other's talent.

Just as Neil Bromkamp was so touched, there was nothing to say. When Peter Jackson's mobile phone on his desk rang, Peter picked up the phone and looked at it with a smile on his face. Said: "Sialon called, it seems to be fruitful."

In Neil's slightly nervous, hopeful gaze, Peter answered the phone, "Hello, Charlize ..."

"... huh, okay, no problem, that's it, see you tomorrow, thank you, Charlize, haha, of course, there must be a suitable role to find you, I also look forward to working with you, ok That's it, see you tomorrow, bye. "

Peter Jackson said with a bright smile, and screamed at Neal, who looked extremely expectant, and looked at Neal with a long sigh of relief. Peter continued to tremble with Charlize with a smile.

Hanging up the phone, Peter Jackson smiled and reached out and shook hands with Neal, congratulating sincerely: "Congratulations, Neal, finally you can show your talents."

"No, Peter, it's all your credit, thank you, I will never forget the help you gave me, forever!" Neal shook Peter's hand tightly and said with a trembling excitement.

"Okay, we should have a drink and celebrate ..." Peter let go of his hand, stood up with a smile, walked to the bar and picked up a bottle of whiskey. When he reached two glasses, he gave Neal, who was still calm.

"Ding!"

After the two touched the wine glass and drank it, Neil asked eagerly: "What's going on?"

"Focus Pictures, a subsidiary of Universal Pictures, has decided to invest. It is scheduled to meet at noon tomorrow to discuss cooperation matters. Charlize and Ceo Carl of Focus Pictures will be present."

"That vampire Carl?" Neal frowned, and Carl's name could really be regarded as thunderous in the Hollywood industry now, not only because he was the new Hollywood janitor, but also because of the explosive "Ghost Video Recording ", taking his name of treacherous vampire to the next level.

Indeed, without Carl's "Bole" discovery and digging, "Ghost Record" will not enter the theater, but with the fire of this movie, the cost-effective ratio of sweeping the world ’s 200 million US box office, he spent a few One hundred thousand dollars to buy all the copyright of this film has also been reported, it is conceivable that all kinds of envy, envy and hatred are absolutely all kinds of curses and curses to Karl.

This also made Carl have the label of greedy vampire in the hearts of many people in Hollywood, especially when dealing with Andy Smith on behalf of major movie companies before, arrogant, cunning, greedy reputation was also spread intentionally.

So, when he heard Carl's name, Neil reacted so much. To be honest, he did have some worries about being killed by the vampire.
