Amanda, known as the old witch of Mindli and director of the script review department, put the script on the table with excitement and pulled Kevin, who was still addicted to the end of "Twilight Series 3", to
Back to reality.
Then, Kevin saw a surprising scene. At 5:30 in the morning, Amanda turned on her phone and directly clicked on the number of the head of Mindli Pictures. Under Kevin's incredulous eyes, she clicked on the dial button.
Watching Amanda walk out of the reception room, he murmured to himself, 'Sure enough, this is the difference between the old witch and us fringe agents!?'
And he didn't know.
In addition to calling the top executive at Mindli Pictures, Amanda also called another heavyweight.
On the way back to the Mindli Films Building, Kevin Weir was still a little confused. One of them had not slept all night, and most of the "Twilight Series" scripts were in his mind, a small part was muddled, and the last part was full of questions.
"Why, we don't even have time for breakfast and we have to go to work directly?"
But you still need to find time to drive. Don't accidentally crash your car into a hillside at 6:30 in the morning when there are no cars on the street and no rear-end collisions.
Until the parking lot of Mindli Films, Kevin was still a little confused and listened to Amanda explain to the security guard.
"Let the car behind you pass directly."
He finally regained consciousness.
He forgot that Amanda hated people smoking in the car, so he subconsciously lit a cigarette.
As nicotine enters the mouth and nose, is absorbed by the body, and enters the brain through the blood, his chaotic mind gradually wakes up.
After realizing it, he opened his eyes wide and looked at Amanda who was obviously full of murderous intent, "This script... is going to explode!?"
"We are... here to review the script?" One night of "obsessed with watching dramas" made Kevin Weir's mind a little unclear. Looking at him with murderous intent and clear contempt in his eyes, he looked like a fool
The look of Amanda.
Kevin then realized that he had read three series scripts this night - "Damn, we are here to review the scripts!"
Only then did he realize, "The script of this series is too exciting, isn't it?"
After parking the car, he almost jumped up in excitement, with a cigarette in his mouth. Hanhan ignored Amanda's murderous gaze and turned his head to look at Amanda's face. "If this script is filmed, it will be really amazing."
.I think this is no better than "Black Moon Project"..."
As Kevin spoke, his voice became smaller and smaller, and his eyes gradually turned away from excitement at the beginning.
Kevin held a cigarette in his mouth, puffing out thin white smoke in his mouth, looking at Amanda's mean face with murderous eyes.
"Hiss" he hissed in his heart, rubbed his neck, and couldn't help lowering his eyes.
I didn't notice at all that a small piece of ash had formed on the end of the cigarette, and I couldn't help but want to complain in my heart, "What stupid thing did I do!?"
The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became. He couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, his lips and teeth trembled, and under his horrified eyes, the cigarette ashes fell on Amanda's high heels, and just in time, they fell on the inside of the heel of the high heels.
——Under a terrifying pressure, Kevin couldn't help but look up.
Just listen to Amanda say, "If it weren't for today being a good day, you could be ready to pack up and get out."
The moment Amanda opened the car door and got out of the car, a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on Kevin's forehead.
He took a deep breath and was glad that he had escaped, but his eyes were still full of excitement. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he would have laughed wildly, "Hahaha", but he still couldn't help but gloat and mutter:
'Those idiots thought they had escaped a troublesome and boring meeting. But they didn't expect that they missed an opportunity. If they read this script, they will probably regret it and even get angry!'
'But this opportunity belongs to me, Kevin, hahahahaha!'
After a burst of ecstasy, Kevin immediately got out of the car, stood next to Amanda despite Amanda's unkind gaze, and bravely apologized, "Director Amanda, I'm very sorry, I was so excited when I thought of this script.
Look, how much does your pants and shoes cost? I will write you a compensation check now!"
Amanda frowned, but when she thought about business, she was actually very excited, but she didn't show it.
Looking at Kevin's very good attitude in admitting his mistakes, I think there is no need to be embarrassed about this agent who, although his business ability is not bad, but because he has no connections, is at the bottom of the company and works as an assistant, he is quite reliable in his work.
"No, no need. You're lucky, be careful next time."
"Yes yes yes!"
When Xia Yu and Zhuang Ling got off the Porsche 911, Kevin's attitude also changed 180 degrees. He nodded and bowed and came forward - "At this time, if you don't take the opportunity to build a good relationship, you are waiting to be picked up by other agents."
Someone pried it away?'
Even Amanda, who is known as the old witch of Mindli Film and Television, showed a smile. "This way, our boss will arrive in about twenty to forty minutes, please don't mind."
"Of course, after all, this is a temporary meeting in advance!" Xia Yu smiled slightly.
Xia Yu also didn't expect that Amanda's work style was so vigorous and resolute. She and Zhuang Ling both thought that it would take a day or two to read these scripts. Unexpectedly, she was made to stay up all day and night to finish reading.
Moreover, I contacted the top manager of Mindli Pictures early in the morning and finalized the meeting in the morning.
The Mindley Film Building was no different from other film studio buildings. Amanda led the way and swiped cards all the way to the Mindley Film Review Department Lounge. At this time, an assistant had already gone to work early and had prepared several breakfasts.
Amanda, "Sorry, I asked you to come over early in the morning to discuss cooperation. Because I was in a hurry, I couldn't find a Chinese breakfast nearby, but I think American breakfast should be a pretty good choice too? To change the taste?"
"Of course!" Although Xia Yu was a little disgusted, he still accepted the kindness with a smile.
The lounge was filled with the sweet aroma of American breakfast and the strong aroma of coffee, and Xia Yu also noticed that after Amanda only ate a small sandwich, she stopped touching the delicious breakfast on the table - she stayed up all night
, I am already feeling sleepy, and I have to eat really full. Blood is supplied to the gastrointestinal tract and liver, and it is easy for the blood supply to the brain to be insufficient. The next negotiation will probably not go on.
After breakfast, Xia Yu and Ashley were busy with their own business. Amanda also took out her notebook from her bag and started working on something. Kevin couldn't help but feel excited and nervous, and didn't dare to go back and forth in the room.
Watbu went to the conference room in advance to prepare. He lay down by the window and looked downstairs until he saw a familiar car coming into view. He felt as if he had been given a shot of blood and was completely sleepless.
"Coming, coming!"
Xia Yu always paid attention to the time. About thirty-three minutes later, Amanda's cell phone rang.
After waiting for two seconds, Amanda answered the call. Her conversation was still formulaic, and she even had a bit of a stinky face. She was a little resistant to communicating with Bruce. "Bruce, we are already in the lounge, the documents are ready, we will see you soon."
Moreover, the communication between the two did not look like a leader and a subordinate at all.
After the communication was completed, he immediately looked at Xia Yu and Zhuang Ling with a smile on his face, "I'm very sorry to keep you waiting for so long. Our boss has already arrived in the parking lot downstairs. I think you two won't mind, so we can move to the next door.
Conference room?"
"certainly."
As Amanda led the two of them to the next door, she said, "I think this script is great, but Bruce doesn't necessarily think so. Of course, I will try my best to promote our cooperation with the Broke Sisters.
But if Bruce doesn’t agree, I still hope you can consider it carefully and sell the copyright of the script to us at Mindli Pictures. Of course, we will never treat you badly, and we will try our best to meet the price you think is worth it!”
Xia Yu and Zhuang Ling looked at each other and both just smiled.
Selling a script?
Doesn't exist.
But still.
"good!"
Amanda could see "impossibility" in their eyes, but thinking about Bruce's character, she couldn't help but frown.
Why has Victoria Films been able to recruit so many outstanding screenwriters and directors?
Talking about this incident, Amanda couldn't help but want to curse. It was all because of Bruce. If Bruce hadn't become more and more tough and incompetent over the years, so many talents would not have slipped away.
"This waste!" Unfortunately, she, Amanda, is only the director of the audit headquarters and has no say in the board of directors for the time being.
"I can only place my hopes on old Chet."
Five minutes later, a tall, pot-bellied man pushed open the conference room door.
Probably because the hairline cannot be saved, this man, who is estimated to be 1.9 meters tall, shaved his head. He said he had a big belly, but it was really a belly problem.
As he gets older, his belly will inevitably gain weight, but there is not much flesh on his face, and you can still see the handsome outlines of his youth.
It's just that the bags under my eyes are heavy and my eyeballs are a little bulging out. At first glance, I look like I'm overindulging in sex.'
Perhaps it was because he was asked to get up early, and there was still a bit of impatience on his face.
He was in his early fifties and quite impressive. However, when he walked into the conference room without even knocking on the door, Xia Yu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Zhuang Ling next to him also frowned slightly. Looking at Amanda, she didn't even bother to get up. Zhuang
Ling and Xia Yu had no intention of getting up.
Only Kevin came up to him and led him to the main seat in the conference room——
Xia Yu and Xia Yu looked at each other, and they both understood Amanda's "stinky face" and had a slight guess as to why Mindelli was getting worse and worse over the years.
With such a person at the helm of the stall, it would be difficult to stabilize the country and resist Victoria's ambitious encroachment?
But thinking of Amanda's stinky face at the moment, and looking at his appearance, Xia Yu unexpectedly felt that he was somewhat similar to Amanda?
Even though Bruce is white.
The conference table is not small and can seat at least ten people. Bruce is sitting at the main seat, with Amanda and Kevin on the lower left, Xia Yu and Zhuang Ling on the lower right.
"Xiayu? You look so young, like a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old!" Bruce smiled and extended his hand to her, "I am the president of Mindli Pictures, you can call me Mr. Bruce, of course.
You can call me Bruce, I don't mind."
"Hello Mr. Bruce."
Xia Yu shook hands with him.
It was originally a gentle squeeze, but Bruce was obviously not "that gentleman" and actually squeezed her hand and refused to let go.
This move, not to mention Xia Yu, even Zhuang Ling, who was paying attention from the side, couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
It was Amanda who said in a deep voice, "Bruce, this is not your club, this is a conference room. Please be careful about your actions!"
Bruce let go of his hand with regret and "sorry". An exaggerated smile appeared on his face, "I'm so sorry - I just saw this new Venice actress from the East, and I couldn't help it.
Please don't blame a knight who suddenly lost his mind because of your beautiful appearance. I am not a casual libertine!"
Xia Yu really didn't expect that this "top man at Mindli Pictures" would control his reputation so carefully.
It is said by outsiders that the top leader of Mindli Pictures, although not very capable at work, is an out-and-out gentleman - this is also the result of repeated investigations by Xia Yu and Zhuang Ling. Even James only said that he had no contact with him.
After a few times, it doesn’t count as understanding.
There is no way, he has always been in top-level places, not to mention ordinary people, reporters, can't come into contact with that level, even if the company is not at the top, it is difficult to encounter. I have to say, he is indeed a "gentleman", maybe he just wants to give
All the beauties in the world have one family?
After Amanda's scolding, Bruce snorted and finally restrained himself.
Amanda looked at Xia Yu with a hint of apology and a hint of pleading.
Xia Yu knew that leaving was the wisest choice at this time.
Because, if Mindley Pictures is not like what Zhuang Ling and the others found out, and what James said, "Bruce just doesn't have such a strong working ability, but Bruce is still a good boss."
"I have never been stingy with money, and I have never deducted a penny from my employees."
But for the "libertine" in front of us, whether to cooperate or not requires a new consideration.
Because a libertine is not scary. What is scary is that this libertine is already in his early fifties and is still the partner he is about to cooperate with.
Even if the Bankrupt Sisters truly reach a cooperation with Mindley Pictures, in the future, with this "boss", it will only be a matter of time before Mindley Pictures is cannibalized and absorbed by Victoria Pictures!
At that time, all the efforts made by the bankrupt sisters will be truly in vain.
Zhuang Ling was speechless. She sat up straight and put her hands on the table. She was about to leave, but Xia Yu held her down.
Amanda's solemnity and the attention she paid all the way, even her eyes at this moment had a hint of pleading.
Xia Yu thought for a while, it was better to have one more friend than one more enemy. In this situation, it would be a shame to lose Bruce's face.
Who knows what Bruce’s real character is like?
After all, Xia Yu still wants to develop in Hollywood.
There was already a deal with Victoria Pictures that collapsed.
Now, if the talks fall apart, forget it, but it would be really ugly, and it wouldn't look good.
She also wanted to see if there were any other opportunities.
