King of Hollywood Chapter 39: Those people

"Frankly speaking, Ed, if the chef knows that in your eyes, the food he cooked carefully does not enter the pizza in the takeaway store, it will be easier to fill up his stomach, I am afraid it will cry." Ke As Loud spoke, he pressed the switch on the wall, and the bright lights filled the minimalist living room.

　　 This is a villa rented by Claude on the other side of Beverly Hills. It is quite modern in style and well furnished from the inside out. He moved out and lived after graduating from college. Unlike Adrian-the previous Adrian-he had nothing to do all day. After making a lot of money this time, he had planned to buy a villa that was entirely his own.

　　 "Please note, Crow, I am talking about filling the stomach, not the deliciousness of the food." Adrian corrected his words, "The veal he made is indeed delicious, I have never denied this. ."

　　He said that he couldn’t help but twitched his mouth, although because of the small part of the soul, Adrian does not exclude Western meals, but can also produce one, two, three, four, but I still miss China deeply in my heart. dish. He once ran the restaurants in Chinatown, but... Have you ever seen Kung Pao Chicken soaked in orange syrup? Fortunately, I occasionally cook in the past life, and I can remember the blessings of the abnormal memory. I cook some home-cooked food for myself from time to time. In addition, the so many Chinese restaurants in Chinatown are not all Westernized things, so I can barely solve it. Greedy insects.

　　 "You guys, French food is originally used for tasting. It is easy to fill your stomach. Burger King’s two burgers are enough to do this." Claude shook his head and came to the bar of the living room Two glasses of whiskey were poured in the back.

　　 "Cate said the same, but unfortunately you didn't grasp the point, I didn't deny the deliciousness of French cuisine, I just said that it can't be used to fill the stomach, this is all true, isn't it?" Adrian took over Crow The cup that De pushed over.

　　 "Cate? The chick you got in the UK? Are you still dating?" Claude asked with some surprise, "It's not like you, Ed. In the past, you were never interested in a girl. More than 5 days."

　　 "That was before," Adrian said disapprovingly, "I have taken her home."

　　 "Wow oh oh oh, the end of the world is coming?" Claude gestured exaggeratedly, "Our Ed actually took the girl home! Man, this is the first time! It's so amazing Surprised, are you going to marry her?!"

　　 "Shut up, Crow," Adrian gave him a glance, "Will I give up the whole forest for a tree?"

　　 "Then you are..." Claude looked at him with interest

　　 "I want a tree, and I want the whole forest." Adrian shrugged.

　　Claude was a little stunned, but he immediately laughed: "It really is Ed, but don't you feel a little greedy?"

　　 "Oliver Stone has a famous quote in "Wall Street"." Adrian took a sip of whiskey.

　　 "greedy is good." Claude took it immediately.

　　 "I modified this sentence a little bit. Moderate greed is good." Adrian smiled. "The key is to know where my degree is. I need to make my degree bigger now. ."

　　 "Well, what are you going to do? This profit is enough for you to get a seat in those group companies?" Claude did not continue to discuss this topic, but asked something else.

　　Adrian smiled, looking at Claude's eyes and said seriously: "Let's do it together, Crow."

　　 "What are you talking about?" Claude showed a surprised look, and the wine glass delivered to his mouth stopped in midair.

　　 "Remember how I told you in the cafe? I want to control Hollywood! I mean to build my own media empire, not to be a shareholder of those old companies!" Adrian clenched his fists A fierce wave in the air, "We can work together, Crow, you have a talent in business that I can't match, but I also have a place in the movie that makes you hard to look at, and my vision is not as good as yours in the overall picture. Poor! Together we will have no disadvantages!"

　　Claude looked at Adrian staring blankly. He sniffed his lips and seemed to want to laugh: "Your change is so big, Ed, it's hard to imagine you were a year ago..."

　　 "Okay, Crow, turning over old accounts is meaningless to me, I have changed." Adrian snorted.

　　 He put down the cup in his hand, and several came to Crowder to force him: "Tell me, Crow, what are you hesitating? What are you worried about? Or you want to tell me that you plan to stay like that In the Godfather's company, slowly killing his own courage and his courage, and then wait for the Godfather to take over after retirement?"

　　Claude didn't speak, just looked at Adrian with his lips stern.

　　 "Think about it, Crow, what is the most you want?!" Adrian made an exaggerated gesture, "is it to take over the father's company and follow the route they plan for themselves? Or start from scratch? , Break out of a new world of our own?! We are still young, Crow, we have the ability we have the opportunity! Even if we lose, we can start all over again!"

　　Looking at his avid expression, Claude took a long breath: "Tell me, Ed, why is the media?"

　　 "Why?" Adrian raised his eyebrows, he suddenly turned and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, and the curtain was pulled open, and the bright night scene under Beverly Hills suddenly appeared in front of the two.

　　Adrian took a deep breath and pointed to the little light: "Look, look at this city, Crow! Here is the world's largest film industry, here is the world's most dazzling star, countless people come Looking for their dreams here, always thinking that maybe one day they will stand on the stage to attract the eyes of the world! But they don’t know, they don’t know, they only saw one side, beautiful and attractive. The bright side! On the other side, the dark, dirty, lustful side is hidden behind it and it’s very well covered up! Why? Because what they see is only those people want them to see Yes! You and I know this, Crow! Think about it, when they turn with our baton and when they cheer us blindly, how would we feel?"

　　 fierce words echoed in the room, and Claude sat up straight involuntarily. Adrian, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, didn't say anything more, just looked at his buddy with his eyes.

　　 Suddenly looked up and poured the liquid from the cup, and Claude stood up, his brown eyes flashing an unknown light.

　　 "So, let's do it!"

　　

　　Adrian knows how the world will develop in the next 20 years, and his own conditions and capabilities are not bad-don’t think that copying movies is a simple matter. So it is not impossible for him to control Hollywood, as long as one problem is solved, it is management and operation!

　　Yes, he knows what to do to make a lot of money, but after all, his previous life was only a director. When did he manage and run a large company? The previous Adrian may have some experience, but more is still eating, drinking and playing. So he had to solve this problem to be able to achieve everything, and finally thought of Claude.

When 　　 first started, Adrian did not realize this, he just wanted to earn a start-up capital through Claude. And Claude's flexible and complete completion of the task made him realize the great value of the other party to himself, so he desperately handed over the futures to him, and the result naturally needless to say.

　　Adrian therefore made up his mind to tie him and himself to everything, and Claude is also a person who is unwilling to be lonely, dare to think and dare not to be sheltered by his parents, plus his very confusing words, finally Promised down.

　　 "Tell me about your plan, Ed," after the two came to the study and sat down, Claude said, "Don't tell me, you have no plan."

　　 "Of course there are plans, but you also know that I am not this piece of material, so there is only a general idea, and the rest needs you to add." Adrian does not conceal his shortcomings.

　　Claude raised his hand and made a "talk about" gesture.

　　 "First of all, of course, it is necessary to set up a media company, buy a shell, how much each investment, how to allocate equity and whether Bosworth Film Company belongs to these, we will discuss in detail later." Adrian He said, "You are the CEO, everything is up to you, I will not interfere with anything."

　　 "Simply put, you don’t care about anything, be a big shareholder with peace of mind, everything will be handled by me." Claude sighed leisurely, "This is really unfair, Ed, you too It's too easy."

　　 "It's okay to say so, in short, everything is up to you to decide," Adrian ignored his joke, "If I have any comments or suggestions, I will discuss with you and seek your consent and support. ."

　　 "In this case..." Claude suddenly thought of something, "If you insist on something and I still disagree?"

　　 "Then I will stay by your side 24 hours a day to lobby you, no matter what you are doing, I will be at the office, eating, taking a shower, sleeping or even going to bed with a woman." Adrian said leisurely.

　　 "Damn it! Ed~IndoMTL.com~ You are so disgusting!" Claude waved in disgust.

　　 "No way, I can't turn your face with you." Adrian spread his hands.

　　 "Okay, okay, skip these for now, and then?" Claude changed the subject.

　　 "The establishment of a venture capital company focused on the IT industry." Adrian threw out the answers that had been well thought out.

　　 "Venture investment company? IT industry?" Crowder raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, "I thought we were discussing the media industry."

　　 "Yes, I know," Adrian nodded, "What should I say... What do you think of this year's election?"

　　 "This year's election?" Although Claude did not understand why he turned to this topic, he still gave his own answer: "Democrats have an advantage."

　　 "Really?"

　　 "Really-what about you?"

　　 "The Democratic Party has an advantage."

　　 "Really?"

　　 "Really."

　　 looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly they both laughed. The Ron Reese family has always favored the Democratic Party, because most of the time in California, the Democratic Party has won the site, but the Kewell family has always been neutral, so Crowder used the Adrian sentence to ridicule.

　　 "Do you know in January, who is the preliminary presidential candidate within the Democratic Party, Crow?" Adrian asked after laughing.

　　 "It seems..." Claude turned his head and thought about it, "William Jefferson Clinton?" (Note)

　　 (Note: In the actual US elections, the two parties have to wait until July and August to formally determine their candidates. Here, the plot has changed, and I have thought about the revision to be realistic, but the plot behind it is a bit troublesome. , So forget it, just look at it)
