The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)

Chapter 1457: Threading

Flowing fire in July, giving clothes in September.

According to the "Book of Songs", the weather in August has gradually turned cooler, and summer has passed and autumn has come, and the hot midsummer has finally reached its tail; but New York in August is still shrouded in restlessness and sultry heat——

I can't hear the cicadas, only the roar of the engine; I can't see the jungle, only the crowds; I can't feel the heat wave, only the traffic... However, the heat and boredom of the mood are tumbling in sweat.

As people come and go, the greasy faces are full of city-specific dysphoria, and the hurried footsteps lift up a dust, like a breeze swaying under the golden sunlight; projected on The shadows on the ground are long and densely overlapped, like the haze shrouded in the city, invisible, but existing.

At this moment, how many people can really calm down, sit in the open-air coffee shop on the side of the road, and enjoy the leisurely cup of coffee? Some people may say that rich people; but the fact is that rich people will choose to sit in an air-conditioned room to relax, and a person with style may sit in an open-air coffee house so literally and affectionately.

In many cases, the habits and etiquette of the nobles are indeed a kind of "illness", and it is not a problem to describe it in this way, but this kind of "illness" is precisely their last insistence. The mind is calm and naturally cool. This will and perseverance is the ability to distinguish them from "ordinary people", and it has gradually become a part of them that they are accustomed to.

Andre Hamilton pretended to be meditating, but he was quietly looking at the opposite Lan Li from the corner of his eyes.

Lan Li was slowly savoring the coffee in his hand. The piping hot coffee was steaming hot, but Lan Li was like tasting a cup of hot tea in the cold winter. His face was full of leisure and comfort, even though his forehead faintly penetrated. Sweat stains a little, but did not fall into the embarrassment of sweating profusely. The posture of contentment, as if the summer heat ceased to exist.

Andre insisted on insisting, but after all he couldn't help being defeated, "I'm going in." Instead of seeking Lan Li's consent, he announced the final decision.

After speaking, Andre ignored Lan Li, pulled his wicker chair away, and walked into the coffee house, seeking the coolness and comfort in the air-conditioned room; Lan Li was still unhurried and attracted. The waiter stated that they would move indoors and then enter the air-conditioned room without delay.

Andre, sitting on the wooden bench, looked at Lan Li, who was slowly sitting opposite him, and frowned inconceivably, "Dear God, I can finally be sure now that you are a Hall."

"You mean, crazy or pervert?" Lan Li said with a smile, "You should know that I am actually not qualified, only to reach the baseline. Alexander is the real etiquette, who is like you."

Alexander Hamilton, Andre's eldest brother, is also the successor of the next Duke of Hamilton, his etiquette and demeanor are impeccable; Andre is the single son of the family, and the situation is different.

The two elder brothers and his parents were very conniving to him. Andre almost grew up in a sheep-herding manner. There is no problem with the basic etiquette, but it is always easy to make mistakes at critical moments. It seems that just like this, the cultivation is still not home. However, because all the family didn't mind, Andre naturally didn't mind.

Andre spread his hands, he was accustomed to such remarks a long time ago, and smiled complacently. This is the true pride of heaven. There is no need to show off or pretend. Everything is hidden in the bones and is born with him.

But then, Andre’s smile collapsed, because he could see that Renly relaxed again, showing no rush or anxiety, which made Andre realize that all his disguise just now had been seen through. "So, you are not worried at all?"

"Can my worry affect the result?" Lan Li asked rhetorically.

Andre grinds his teeth, "You know, you can."

"Then I'm starting to worry now." Lan Li said along the way.

Andre rolled his eyes and tried to explain a few more words, but he was defeated in the end. It seems that since the first time they met, he has never had the upper hand in front of Renly, "Why do you always Boss, are we always following?" Andre couldn't help complaining.

"Because you are willing to believe me." Lan Li replied with a smile.

Andre couldn't help being speechless.

Such an answer not only makes people unable to refute, but also the hidden emotions are surging silently. Lan Li is always like this. Even if he knows that he is joking or ridiculing, he has a special temperament in him, which makes people calm down and makes people want to believe that before he realizes it, he has already surrounded him. Around.

Laughing dumbfounded, Andre shook his head slightly, and returned to the subject of the matter, "Honestly, you should know that as long as it is a work you recommend, as long as you are willing to be a producer, I am willing to invest. Now the whole In Hollywood, you are the only person I can trust. So, no doubt, I am willing to invest."

"Andre, business belongs to business, and friends belong to friends. You create a production company obviously not for word of mouth, but for profit. You should make a calm judgment." Lan Li stared at Andre and said, "Of course. I hope that you can invest in the works I recommend, but you are more important than a film project. Now it is not an easy task to meet a few friends who are worth making."

At this time, the waiter brought in two people's coffee.

Lan Li smiled at the waiter to express his gratitude, and then picked up the coffee cup again and tasted it carefully.

Andre was slightly stunned, then grinned, and couldn't help but began to complain, "This one doesn't work for me. You should have moved the one against Eaton, right? Really lazy. "

Lan Li was noncommittal.

Andre was speechless again, and in the end he could only shook his head depressedly, "Let's get back to work, this work, how much do you think is appropriate to control the investment cost?"

Today, Lan Li and Andre met for the "Nightcrawler" project.

After Lan Li briefly explained the framework and basic content of the entire project, Andre assumed a thoughtful posture. Originally, he wanted to deliberately hang Lan Li’s appetite, and looked forward to seeing Lan Li make further efforts. The appearance of lobbying him, after all, such an opportunity is really rare.

Unexpectedly, Lan Li was calm and relaxed.

So, the above scene was born, after all, Andre couldn't calm down.

In the face of Andre’s final "disarmed surrender", even though this was the result Lan Li was expecting, and he had expected it, Andre’s quick and direct response made Lan Li raise his eyebrows slightly—

Dan Gilroy is not Damien Chazele. Although Gilroy has no experience in directing and is not a top screenwriter, he still has a lot of contacts and resources in the industry; however, "Nightcrawler" has always Up to now, I have not been able to find an investor. There are objective reasons for this.

Now, Andre did not hesitate, just because of Lan Li, he nodded cleanly. After all, Lan Li's feeling was different.

However, Renly and Andre also don't need the politeness of their mother-in-law. This was the case for the "One Man Concert", and the same was true for the previous "Burst Drummer".

Therefore, Lan Li chuckled softly and stated his own thoughts without formality, "I am not sure about the specifics. It still depends on the director's plan for the entire project. However, this project is definitely more than the "Burst Drummer". The magnificence, the cast, the shooting location and the shooting props, etc., are all on a larger scale."

"I estimate that it may cost five million, but at most ten million. If you want, you can find a producer you are familiar with and evaluate it in detail." Lan Li said in a summary, this is not the case after all. His own strengths, the opinions he can give are really limited.

Five million to ten million, this is not a small number for an independent film. But Andre didn't frown. For him, these numbers are just a series of numbers, without much practical significance. "You think, if I ask Matthew to come over and help calculate some numbers, is he OK?" "

"Matthew?" Lan Li thought about it seriously, "You can try it, he is still very good at numbers. However, Matthew still has too little knowledge about the capital operation of Hollywood~lightnovelpub.net~ If you can, You should look for an accountant who is familiar with the industry, then meet with Matthew and have a detailed chat, the idea will be much clearer."

"I see." Because "Burst Drummer" has not been released yet, Andre can't make a horizontal comparison by himself, so he now needs more professional advice, "If you are looking for Matthew, you still need to give him. Let me just say, Matthew’s bad temper, no one will buy it except you. I promise that it won’t disturb his working hours."

"Ha, I refuse. Disturb the pace of Matthew's work, and I will be trained." Lan Li laughed happily.

Andre looked at Lanly speechlessly, and then said shamelessly, "I don't care, I just say, this is your project. You must name the producer, otherwise, I will never take over."

"Won't take over what?" While speaking, the waiter again led a figure to come over, the person who came without any pause or separation, directly cut into the conversation, such a "rude" behavior, Lan Li and Ender Lie didn't care, didn't even look up, and then the familiar Eaton-Domer was already seated.

"Why did you call him over? Is he sure he is late?" Andre murmured.

"No, I deliberately delayed him for half an hour. I think, if you get it done, half an hour will be enough." Lan Li said with a smile.

Andre was full of black lines.

After Eaton ordered his coffee, he seamlessly joined the topic, "What is enough for half an hour?"

"Lan Li said, half an hour will be enough to get you done." Andre turned his head and said with a gleeful expression on his face.

Eaton didn't mind, "Half an hour? No, one minute is enough."
