Ace Hollywood

...I always feel very excited when I see those cases where the corpses were mutilated. I would guess that there are many mysteries and conspiracies behind these murder cases...

Daniel picked up his water glass and swallowed forcefully.

It's really hard for you to imagine, Ray Warner, such a Melburnian who looks like an ordinary boy - he doesn't even have a beard now. He would describe his enthusiasm for the Corpse Case and Murder Plot so forbearingly and excitedly, until he needed to suppress his excitement. When I heard him describe those scenes, there was no trace of fear at all, only fanaticism.

This is a madman.

They looked at each other with David, their ranks are really too low, when they were working at Claire’s hot dog shop, they would at most curse Claire for stepping on the drunk’s vomit, and never dared to think that he would be chopped up . The brains of James and Warner are so amazing.

Cough, cough.

After listening for about 15 minutes, Daniel already understood the reason why Warner created this script...and why he couldn't find the reason for the investment. A master of conspiracy theories who has insight into everything, he is very interested in those bloody murder cases, and finally embarked on the road of writing his mind into a script and trying to make it into a movie.

That being the case, Daniel didn't want to add fuel to his nightmare tonight.

Okay, okay, Warner, your enthusiasm is admirable. This makes me more sure about the success of the movie. Daniel said reluctantly, You can talk to Ferguson about the specific contract. Oh, this It is Ferguson, the head of the investment department. What I want to say is that I can meet your requirements, that is, James will direct, Warner will be the screenwriter, and Ferguson will be your producer. As for the actors, I miss you There must be some ideas already. The three of you can discuss among yourself, David will give you an experienced casting director, and it will all happen very quickly. We are trying to start shooting in July and August.

Hmm... I think what you are most concerned about may be investment. four million! I will give you four million, of which 100,000 is James' remuneration, and 60,000 is Warner's screenwriting fee. As for the actors, this can be left to Ferguson to decide. Is there a problem?

James hesitated for a moment, he didn't really want a reward that much, he hoped it would be a share.

But sitting in front of Daniel, listening to him ask do you have a question, and the quotation of 100,000 yuan-this is much higher than his salary in the previous year.

Eye to eye with Warner. He saw the negation in the other party's eyes, and Warner knew his plan.

No,

no problem. we agree.

Great, then, James, I hope you can draw up a shooting plan as soon as possible, and then, Warner. Give Ferguson a final version of the script.

That means the conversation is over.

After Warner exuded a burst of terror just now, he is not so restrained now.

The two of them together with Johnson. They all stood up and said goodbye with smiles on their faces.

...

The three people who had just walked out of the DD office building looked at each other.

Wow, we got 4 million, omg, I thought it was only 400,000. Now we can use professional cameras, build better sets, and hire some professional actors. My god, today is a lucky day .”

Ray Warner was very excited. As the main creator of the script, he wanted to shoot the movie more than James. This is his dream, not just for making a living and profit.

I should have mentioned to them just now that if I can get a share, it must be more than 100,000.

James was blown by the hot wind in June, and he regretted not bringing it up just now.

Warner disagreed with him, Wen, this is impossible. They invested 4 million, how could they give you a share? You are just a person who has never made a movie, and I just wrote a script. ——It has not been made into a movie yet. A share is not something we can ask for at all. Only an actor of Daniel’s level, or a director like Spielberg, is eligible to claim a share.”

Johnson agreed with him very much, Yes, James, Warner is right, the share only belongs to those who have influence. If you make such a request, it may leave a bad impression on Daniel, saying Really, if this movie makes money, for you, the meaning is not how much you can get, but that you can get Daniel's trust and favor, do you know? Daniel just invested 200 million in dd Film industry, they have a lot of plans, as far as I know, the headquarters of dd Films—oh, you may not know, dd Films is divided into the headquarters and Daniel Investment Department, the latter is Daniel's direct investment project, the former is his And David’s daily business projects, you belong to the former. This is rare, the department now has two projects, one is also a horror film, and the investment is far more than your film. So, as long as you perform well, you may have a chance Shooting more expensive works, real Hollywood movies. This is the most important thing. James, I think you should take a longer-term view.

The two Australian rookies were educated by the Hollywood rookies. After being amazed, they ignited unprecedented enthusiasm.

What Qiao Sen said is right, as long as the filming is good and there is no need for other opportunities, this series is enough for them to eat for a lifetime.

...

It's impressive, isn't it?

Watching Werner's back gradually go away, Daniel let out a sigh of relief, This is the real horror movie lover.

I'm a bit regretful now. I agreed to your request to watch the film. The things he filmed should not be at the -17 level.

In the American movie rating system, -17 refers to the prohibition of viewing under the age of 17.

It seems that the crowd under the age of 17 is only removed, but in fact it is not the case, a -17 movie. Except for homicide lovers and horror movie enthusiasts like Ray Whannell, in fact, very few people watch it, and most people would never abuse themselves like this. Even if he is 27, 37 years old.

Then the movie is doomed to have no box office—of course, for the 4 million investment, if those shots are really needed, they will not lose money.

Instructing Ferguson to pay attention to The Hangover, Daniel and Miller returned to Malibu.

He has basically turned down all the entertainment at night, otherwise with the current enthusiasm. It's really possible to sing and sing every night, and the party keeps going. actually. He works a lot at night. Generally speaking, it takes more than an hour to deal with the negotiation progress and problems on Raymond's side, and he still has a routine exercise. Then there is the sat test.

The time is very close. If he can't take the exam in June, he can only take the exam in October, so the time for applying to universities will be tight.

Of course, the United States also has a human network, especially his first goal is Berkeley University - this is in California, no matter what, he can find a relationship to pass the admissions committee's assessment - the premise is that his SAT must meet the standard, otherwise the materials will not even be available. No meeting, unless he gives a lot of money. If so. With his attention today, even Berkeley must be criticized to death.

However, perhaps the Chinese are indeed superior in their ability to read. Coupled with the improvement of hardware in all aspects through his incredible experience, there is no difficulty in learning.

The first email was Raymond's daily report.

Negotiations with Google were extremely difficult. Raymond now leads his team almost permanently in Silicon Valley, competing with the other party's negotiating team every day, because the major areas involved are all interrelated. How much Google invests in mb depends on what price he is willing to let Daniel calculate when he replaces the shares. When subscribing for Google's original shares, give Daniel a percentage lower than the issue price. This is definitely a big deal for Google. At present, Google's size is designed to be around 3 billion, and the issue price they determined is 100 US dollars, so, that is, 30 million shares out of 270 million shares, accounting for only 11.1%, and the subscription limit for Daniel is 10 million Shares, almost equal to one-third of the entire scale, worth 1 billion US dollars, with a subscription price discount, there are also hundreds of millions of dollars-now Google's annual profit is only more than 200 million.

Therefore, this is a business that cannot be overly prudent or procrastinated.

Daniel is not in a hurry, he knows Page's plan, and Page is unwilling to let Wall Street's vampires suck too much blood on Google, so he finally decided to issue a Dutch auction, giving investors of all sizes the opportunity to Equal - this will certainly be sniped by the financial giants of Wall Street. At that time, their need for Daniel will be stronger.

Both sides have this attitude, and it is only natural that the negotiations will proceed slowly.

For Daniel, there is another very important point. After Google next year, if Plutos Investment Company wants to hold nearly 6% of the shares, it will definitely need to disclose some information to Nasdaq, which means that he may be banned. Exposure—Of course, Raymond is also doing some tricks now, such as continuing to set up an investment company, and then investing in Plutos. In this way, to disclose the information of Plutos itself, it is not necessary to involve Daniel behind it.

In general, as these companies grew, it became harder and harder for Daniel to hide behind.

...

Daniel's SAT test site is in the Unified School District at the intersection of Sunset District and Highland Street, and the name is very fitting-Hollywood High School.

On the day of the test, the police station sent 60 police officers to seal off the entrance of the high school—this was at the request of the high school. Since the news spread that Daniel was going to take the SAT test here, some students and parents were worried about their safety. Children may be disturbed. Some even protested in front of schools and local government buildings.

In the end, the government also issued a special announcement, saying that it would send enough police force to maintain order and ensure the quietness of the examination room, so as to appease everyone.

But on the day of the test, there were still quite a few media reporters standing outside the encirclement, waiting for Daniel's Mercedes-Benz to come.

Thirty minutes before the exam, there was an extremely cool Porsche 911 parked in the parking lot outside the school, followed by two Chevrolets, followed by 6 men in black and sunglasses, who kept sending Daniel to the school. When I reached the entrance of the school, I was stopped by the staff.

These people didn't leave, they just stood at the door, three on each side, with expressionless faces. (to be continued)
