Manhattan Reborn 1978

Chapter 5 Conjecture

David got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.

While brushing his teeth, he looked at Black Mike. This guy looked like a prawn, hugging a pillow and sleeping like a little girl.

The sofa was stuffed under the sofa, and it looked like Black Mike had moved all his treasures.

Black Mike said hello before David went out, and he snorted and went back to sleep.

As he walked on the road, David thought, his life now is very regular and his income is good.

But David knew that such a life was very dangerous.

Like Ludy, he is more rule-abiding, while Tom is the bad boy who often breaks the rules.

In the gang, Ludy and Tom are representatives of two completely different factions.

Ludy's old-school gangster, like Malkin Sr., hates drugs and doesn't bother making the money.

Mainly operating some casinos, some bars, smuggling and other gray businesses to make money.

And Tom is the kind of person who is very adaptable to the changes in today's society.Now he does whatever makes money, and whatever is profitable is what he does.Arms, firearms, drugs, human smuggling, etc.

He was never afraid of crime.He won't be soft on killing people.He only cared about me making money.When it comes to making money, he has almost no bottom line.

This is the problem David faces now.There will always be people like Tom, and their existence means bringing risks to those around them.

He needed to get out of the bar.

Call Black Mike before you leave. The more reliable people around you, the better!

David came to the bar to fill his stomach first.Then he took out the number and called Tangtang.

Over the phone, Tangtang was filming in Harvey's studio.It was great to get a call from David.

We made an appointment to come to the bar to find David after finishing our work in a while.

When David does everything now, he looks at the points on the system screen.

If points are given on a daily basis, then they will increase after 12 midnight.

If the points increase because he did something, then he can always pay attention to its changes and find the rules.

As the sky grows dark, Wildfire opens.

Black Mike yawned loudly and complained about how little sleep he got.

I don’t know if Tom stimulated little Malkin yesterday, but he didn’t show up today.

Around 8 o'clock, Tangtang showed up.

When she came to David, her face was glowing, and she gave him a big hug as soon as they met.

"Quick, give me a big glass of whiskey!" Tangtang said happily.

After taking a big sip, he said: "Oh, David, we succeeded. My movie Little Red Riding Hood is now playing in more than 40 cinemas. Just before I came here, Harvey and I did the math together. After deducting all the costs, we arrived at Today we have recouped our investment.”

"Then how much did you invest in this movie?"

"Including your share of 15000, my own and Harvey's, the total is more than 4000 yuan."

"Harvey is already in contact with Los Angeles, and they have also made an offer.

They will start showing the movie tomorrow or the day after tomorrow in Los Angeles. Congratulations!You made a killing on your investment.”

Then Tangtang talked about some things about the movie's release.

Director Tangtang,

Starring Lori,

The tool man protagonist.

Investors David, Tangtang, Harvey.

Producer, Harvey.

The distribution channel was found through Harvey's friends.There are some discounts on fees.

David was relieved to hear that his investment had doubled.

You must know that it is difficult for ordinary investors to recover the cost of a movie, but David does not know the specifics.However, in this industry, the routines are deep and the water is deeper!He still knows.

"Come! Here's a toast to us!" David also poured a cup for himself.

"To our little red riding hood! Hahaha! Give me another big glass! Pure whiskey!"

Tangtang is very excited!

It can be seen that this sister who has been on the street in Manhattan for more than 10 years has changed a lot in her life because of this success!

After standing on the street, it is impossible to stand on the street again.It is impossible to stand on the street in this life!

"So our Director Tangtang, what are your future plans?"

David filled another large cup of Tangtang.

This sister wants to get drunk, and whiskey is a highly potent alcohol.

"Now we are waiting for news from Los Angeles. We will all go to Los Angeles to do more promotion and then send the film to the awards. It is exactly half a month for the awards season.

My chances for a directing award are slim.But this time the heroine Lori has a good chance of winning.She is so bright in the film.Almost most men go to the cinema to see her.You also want to go to receive the award when the time comes! "

Well.David does know that there are such awards in the United States.

Um. . .Should I go or not? . .It seems that there are many excellent teachers there!

They are nice and docile, they are considerate, they are. . . . .

"Without Tangtang, you deserve the award! I won't go." David decisively refused!

"Okay, but David, you know what? After the success of the premiere that day, my whole body is still floating. I don't know how to describe it!"

"Happiness? Dreams coming true? Sense of accomplishment?" David answered.

"Yes! Yes! They are all right... This is so wonderful... You know, David, I want to thank you!" Tangtang said, leaning forward and lying on the bar.The high-beam headlights made David's eyes widen unconsciously. .

"Tangtang, this is what you earned through your own efforts..."

As he spoke, David suddenly had an idea. .

A sense of achievement!

Achievement point!

David looked at the system, achievement point 0.

Could it be that by doing some successful business or becoming a master of some kind, celebrities will have some achievements?

How successful and famous do you need to be?

Wine is not intoxicating, she is happy and drunk.

Not noticing David's distraction, he began to whisper:

"David, I've been standing on this street for so many years. I've seen people come, I've seen people leave, I've seen people get caught and never come back. I've also seen the way elephant legs fell from upstairs to the ground."

"Little Red Riding Hood succeeded. I want to thank you David. Before I didn't have your money, I wanted to give up."

"If I hadn't met you here that day, I would definitely go back to the streets to make money and make movies. I definitely would!"

David came back to his senses and looked at Tangtang who had finished the whiskey and was lying on the bar muttering, feeling very emotional.

Undoubtedly, Tangtang's problem awakened him, and the film was successful and made money.Then this Tangtang sister is now his mascot!

Because tomorrow at noon I have lunch with my father, Malkin Sr. and Ludy.Today David told Erica that he wanted to go home from get off work early and rest.

Seeing Tangtang, who had never been drunk after a thousand cups, now acting like a drunk cat, David shook his head and helped her up and took her home.

Erica and Black Mike looked at David helping Tangtang go, both showing knowing smiles.

This kid Ruby had only been gone for a few days and she couldn't bear it anymore.

If David knew what they were thinking, he would definitely give them an internationally disdainful middle finger~! ! !
