Chapter 104

After that, Ridley and Russell really walked over to William and hugged William. The audience at the scene was also very happy to see the result and applauded happily.

Today's show can make Oprah happy. There are too many topics. Oprah believes that the ratings will definitely rise after the launch of this show.

After the show, William took Ambrosio back to the hotel to change clothes and then took a bottle of Latour and sat on the Bentley provided by the hotel to Ridley's home in New York.

Sitting in the car, Ambrosio hugged William's arm excitedly, with an excited expression on his face, chatting with William about Ridley's past, saying that he was amazing and a big name.

However, William knew that Ridley could only be considered a first-line at best before shooting Gladiator, and he was not a big director, because his previous films had no box office.

In the mid-1990s, he even stopped filming for a few years. This old guy is good at controlling big scenes, but no matter how good the director is, he is only a director. A few years later, the box office was not good because of the production company. Deli was forced to remain silent for almost ten years, until The Martian was sought after again.

But at that time he was almost 80 years old, and his energy was not as good as before. Gladiator was definitely Ridley's most brilliant time.

William took Ambrosio's hand and came to Ridley's home in New York. This is a middle-class neighborhood. The house and yard are quite big, but they are worth millions of dollars. Although Ridley is a A big director, but he is not a big box office director, he has no money, and his life is not as rich as he imagined.

William and Ridley Russell hugged and walked into Ridley's house. Today's party was a private one, with only Russell and Ridley's agent present.

As soon as they entered the door, the two agents were courteous to William, but William ignored the agents of the elite culture. These guys think of beauty, when William doesn't understand anything? Also want to pack the pirate project.

William will pay attention to what they say if he is in hell. Who doesn't know that the packaging project of elite culture is a big hole, few of them are successful, and it will not be good for them.

This project requires at least hundreds of millions of dollars to be successful. If he didn’t get half of the copyright when he cooperated with a big Hollywood company, William didn’t plan to invest it himself. It’s not good to do something with that money. Deli quarreled about this project,

He didn't see how badly Hollywood has tricked foreign investors. Many investors from Germany and oil-producing countries have already been tricked by Hollywood, so he didn't jump into this big pit so foolishly.

After everyone had a pleasant dinner, William chatted with Russell and Ridley smoking a cigar and drinking a Latour brought by William for a long time before entering the topic.

In the end, Russell said anxiously: "William, can you tell us what you think about this project?"

After thinking for a moment, William said: "If I want to invest, unless I can get half of the copyright, the screenwriter fee and the cost of "He's a Pirate" are included in the investment, but I know it's impossible."

After hearing William's words, Russell and Ridley nodded in agreement and said, "It's really unlikely. The film company will definitely not let it out if it's the copyright. I think you should take the screenwriter's share. It's easier."

William said helplessly: "I understand this, just look at DreamWorks. Forget about it, Ridley can be a director, but..."

William said apologetically to Russell: "Sorry, Russell, in the role I envisioned, the protagonist Captain Jack is Depp, and the blacksmith has to find a very handsome and talented young actor,

I haven't made up my mind about the heroine, Captain Barbossa, I'm looking for Jeffrey? Shi, this movie is not suitable for you, I'm sorry Russell, of course, if you can make a cameo, I'm absolutely welcome."

After listening, Russell nodded, "The main role is really not suitable for me, there is no problem with the cameo, but I hope to be the assistant director and assistant producer of the movie, I am in my 40s, and if there is no suitable role, try to become a director. Not bad."

William looked at Ridley. He wasn't sure about Russell's transition to director. It's up to Ridley. He thinks it's okay.

Ridley saw that both of them were looking at him, but it was no big deal to be an assistant director, and there were many kinds of assistant directors. He smiled and said, "No problem, William, Russell gave a lot of advice when he was shooting Gladiator. Give me, besides, Russell doesn't have to be an executive assistant director, just an assistant director who runs errands while studying."

"Haha, I don't dare to think that Russell is running errands, then I have no problem with that," William said with a laugh.

Russell was very happy when he heard it. There are many actors who are deputy directors. After becoming famous, everyone wants to try whether they can be directors. There are not many opportunities for such a big investment and a big director. .

Russell thanked: "Thank you, I will join for zero pay, rest assured I know that I am just learning and won't point fingers."

William and Ridley both laughed when they heard it, "If you don't need zero pay, you can count on the normal assistant director pay. After all, you have to pay for what you pay for. It's just a relationship between more and less. You are the best as an actor. Those who are directors can only be counted as new directors."

"That's right," Ridley agreed.

"Okay, let's count on normal standards."

After the three agreed on some details, Ridley promised that after William handed over the script to him tomorrow, he would ask the person in charge of the Big Eight in Hollywood to push the script and try it out. If the Big Eight were interested, then everyone would find a chance to sit down. chat.

After the discussion was almost over, the three returned to the living room and everyone laughed and chatted. Everyone saw that William was interested in Hollywood secrets, and Ridley’s agent was very pleased with it. William and Ambrosio listened to it. The two exclaimed again and again, not thinking

There are so many things that are really incomprehensible.

It was almost 11 o'clock when William and Ambrosio got up to say goodbye. He had to write the script overnight and submit the script to the Writers Guild early in the morning.

One hundred and fifty-two chapters New York viewing

Back at the hotel, William and the extremely happy Ambrosio worked out together for more than an hour. After the exercise, William began to catch up on the script, and it took more than three hours to get the script out.

I saved the script to a USB flash drive, stretched out and went to bed, hugged Ambrosio and fell asleep.

The next day, William didn't wake up until 9:00. Bentley, who went to the hotel and got some breakfast, spent more than an hour walking through the script submission process with the help of professionals from the hotel service. After finishing the script, William Get someone to send Ridley the script, now waiting for news from Ridley.

William, who had nothing to do, went back to the hotel at noon to make up for a nap, and then took Ambro to hang out in New York. Although William was annoying the paparazzi, he couldn't drive them away.

The paparazzi also know that William is a very rich man, so these guys never come within 10 meters of William when they follow him, which makes William helpless.

Forget it, just follow, as long as it doesn't disturb the two-person world between him and Ambrosio, William will not care. Ambrosio is very happy for the paparazzi to follow. From time to time, he holds William's arm and faces the paparazzi. The camera showed a sweet smile.

The two walked hand in hand and bought a dozen bags of luxury goods all afternoon. At 6 p.m., William and Ambrosio had an Italian meal at a Michelin-starred restaurant. During the meal, they received a message from Brian. Meet text.

After eating for more than an hour, the two of them chatted and laughed and went back to the hotel to exercise happily. After Ambrosio fell asleep, William got dressed and drove an ordinary SUV provided by the hotel to avoid the paparazzi and sneaked to Hebu Meet at the place where Ryan agreed.

I came to an ordinary community more than a dozen blocks away from the hotel. Before I found a somewhat dilapidated house according to the house number, I got out of the car and saw Brian who was sitting in front of the barbecue grill in the yard, holding a tongs and grilling meat.

Seeing William come in, Brian happily said, "Let's try the Brazilian barbecue I made first." Brian brought William a plate, a knife and fork, and a large piece of grilled beef for William.

The two ate and drank and chatted for more than an hour. After eating and drinking, Brian wiped his mouth and said solemnly: "It's time to talk about business, think how I can help you, as long as I can do it, I will not delay."

William looked at the serious Brian, shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you do anything illegal. You have a lot of connections in America, have you ever thought about running in New York?"

Brian was stunned, "Do you want me to enter politics? How can this help you, and the election cannot be elected in a short time."

"Hehe, what I really need is your relationship in the United States. I won't care how you run for election and what you do after the election is successful. I just need you to have an official official status and help me to lobby for relevant issues when I need them. I don't care who you are, how you lobby, I'm only responsible for providing funds to you."

Brian was relieved to hear William's words. William's request was much simpler than he imagined, "That's it? There are too many such people in America, as long as you have money, you can find dozens of them. Hundreds of such groups don’t even have to pay me to run.”

William shook his head and said, "I don't want to participate in Zhengzhi. I need someone I can trust to cooperate and provide you with funds when I need it. You help me to establish a relationship on the surface. I don't care what I do."

Brian thought about it for almost half an hour before nodding and agreeing, "No problem." He picked up the beer and drank it and said, "I'm in my 50s. I didn't expect that I could have a second career at this age. , so pleasant to work with, William".

For some reason, William can only do this. He wiped his hands with a towel and shook hands with Brian happily. Donate to these funds reasonably and legally, then you will be able to start a campaign, maybe you will be Mr. Senator the next time we meet."

Brian laughed and said, "I hope so."

The two talked about some details again, and William and Brian hugged and drove back to the hotel to wash and sleep.

I slept until dawn, and at 9 o'clock William was eating breakfast with Ambrosio, and before we finished eating, the phone rang, and he picked it up and saw that it was Felix from Swiss Bank.

The two of them greeted each other on the phone, and Felix said, "Mr. Devon Hill, we have screened more than a dozen suitable properties for you in Manhattan and Long Island, New York. Do you have time to visit today?

There is a 369-square-meter house on the top floor of the upper east side, next to the financial center and next to Central Park. The house is very good and the price is very reasonable. The owner is a financier. Ten thousand dollars for decoration, but the stock market crash broke out before he moved in, and he is in urgent need of selling his assets to keep his financial company, with an offer of 40 million dollars.”

Before William could speak, Ambrosio, who was sitting beside William and hugged him, said in surprise: "Doesn't this mean that it has dropped $20 million in less than a year?"

Felix and Ambrosio had been in contact for more than a month when they were in Switzerland, and they soon heard Ambrosio's voice, "Yes, Miss Ambrosio, I think it's okay if I pay all at once. It can be reduced to about 35 million US dollars, and the owner needs money now, and this house was listed for sale the day before yesterday.”

Ambrosio looked at William with watery eyes after hearing this, thinking to himself, 'God, how many years do I have to be a model?

It would be so beautiful to be able to buy that house and live in it, I’m excited to think about it’.

"Okay, send someone to take me to see, and whether there is a bigger manor on Long Island, I like big houses."
