He still couldn't refute.
Xia Yu is right.
He said: "I understand your thoughts, but... regarding the follow-up plan of "Death Aesthetics", I think I need some time to think about it!"
If Carlos can relax his thoughts, Xia Yu's goal has been achieved.
Nodding slightly, he said: "I think you are right. Thinking carefully is the key. I don't hope that my remarks will make you have an illusion for a while, and ultimately go against your heart. When the time comes, I will miss you."
You will definitely reprimand and blame me?"
When Carlos heard this, his eyes looked a little bit like a thief, and he blinked and smiled, sincerely but unbeatably:
"I think I might hate you to death."
"...Anyway, who cares about a person who won the Best Director Award at Cannes and is still hated by a third-rate director?"
Xia Yu patted his shoulder and pretended to be disdainful, but Carlos frowned in pain and pouted: "Damn it!"
"OK! It's a joke, it's really a joke..." Xia Yu smiled contentedly.
"So now let's take a day to take a good look at this place that retains war elements and where "Beauty and Original Sin" took place?"
After saying that, he stopped waiting for Carlos, picked up his bag, put on his hat and sunglasses, and got out of the car.
"Is this the end?" Carlos looked incredulous and muttered to himself:
"I thought... a verbal fight would break out and both parties would be hurt!"
He was still hesitating and calming down when Zhuang Ling's almost ruthless voice came to his ears:
"If you don't get out of the car, I will lock the car directly."
"Ohon! You can't do this to me..." He hurriedly opened the car door, got out of the car quickly, glared at Zhuang Ling angrily, then trotted towards Xia Yu who was already walking forward, shouting: "Xia, wait for me
!”
Zhuang Ling curled her lips and nodded, "You are smart!"
"Beauty and Original Sin" is a true story in this world, originating from the narration of Grandpa Carlos Zivkovic.
It stands to reason that under normal circumstances one should say hello and visit in advance.
But neither Xia Yu nor Carlos had such plans.
Xia Yu did not inform him in advance.
Regardless of whether you are at home or abroad, it is very rude to announce your intention to visit someone at your doorstep when you are not familiar with them, without notifying the host in advance and giving the host enough time to prepare.
Carlos simply does not want to meet his grandfather. The two have no family ties at all, and they only slander each other when they meet.
He curled his lips: "It's a good thing not to see you!"
This town has a population of only a few hundred thousand, and is neither closed nor particularly open.
This small town used to receive a small number of tourists every year, so the arrival of Xia Yu and the others did not attract much attention.
While the three of them were visiting the town of Syracuse, something else happened thousands of kilometers away in Los Angeles.
Victoria Film Building.
Chairman's office.
In the corner of the office, on a table about the size of a square, there is a piece of white jade the size of a basketball.
The assistant held a tray in his hand, and in the tray was a pile of various tools.
Aldrich Middleton, the top leader of Victoria Films, has a very high status in Europe, America, and even the global film and television industry - the emperor of the Victoria Film and Television Empire, one sentence can make the global entertainment industry tremble.
At the moment, he is wearing a pair of glasses, holding a tool, and is carefully carving the jade in front of him.
The crisp knocking sounds of tools colliding with jade could be heard in the office.
"Knock knock knock" the knock on the door sounded.
"Enter!"
As Aldrich Middleton responded, a man with dark brown curly hair, a tall figure, and a six-point resemblance to Aldrich stepped into the office.
Aldrich Middleton glanced up and looked at his third son, Lambert Middleton.
He lowered his eyes and stopped carving the jade.
“Amanda Thurman still won’t compromise?”
"Yes! She doesn't think that the Bankrupt Sisters will threaten the structure of Hollywood——"
"Stupid!" Aldrich smiled contemptuously, "I think her closeness to the bankrupt sisters is also the reason why that old man Chet Hanks is unwilling to completely delegate power, but she can't see clearly!"
"Any news on that old Chet Hanks guy?"
Lambert nodded, "Old Hanks said... He is not in charge of Mindelli Pictures now, and he has retired."
"Old fox!"
Aldrich's eyes were calm, and he obviously didn't believe what Hanks said:
"Do you really think we don't know that China Cinemas has contacted Mindli Pictures? Do you want to use China to put pressure on Victoria Pictures? That's wishful thinking!"
"Chairman...what do you mean? You want to activate the final plan?"
Lambert's hesitation annoyed Aldrich.
He and his wife have two sons and one daughter. The daughter is not interested in the film industry or business, but is extremely sensitive to politics. Now she has become an important person in a certain state, which is crucial for him to continue to control the Victoria Film Industry and further penetrate into the core of the family.
of help.
Aldrich was quite satisfied.
But the two sons, Augustine and Lambert, are simply two extremes.
An extreme radical adventurism, a conservatism...it worried him.
He meant something and said:
"If you and your brother could blend in with each other, maybe I wouldn't have to worry about this!"
He waved his hand.
"You don't need to deal with this matter. You only need to follow up on the release of "Black Moon Project 4", "Deep Sea Series", and continue to explore the trends of Mindelli Pictures and bankrupt Sister Pictures!"
Lambert knew his ability and knew that except for his sister, his mediocrity and conservatism and Augustine's radical ambition were not loved by his father, and he didn't mind. On the contrary, compared with the ambitious Augustine, he
I prefer to educate my lovely children.
"Yes!" After the response, Lambert left the chairman's office.
Wait until Lambert leaves.
Aldridge put the tools aside, washed and dried his hands, and asked his assistant to dial Augustine Middleton.
After more than ten beeps, the call was connected, and it was noisy.
Although Aldrich was dissatisfied with Augustine, when he heard the noise on the other end of the phone and thought of something, his anger was almost gone.
With a calm expression on his face, he asked:
"Where is it? Is it convenient to talk -"
"Father! It's convenient!"
When Augustine heard this, he immediately became very energetic and his voice was still a little trembling.
After the release of "Black Moon Project 3" collided with "Twilight 1", he was kicked out of the top management of Victoria Pictures by Aldrich.
Forced to work at the bottom, due to his temper, he quickly received complaints - bullying others and engaging in cliqueism!
In the end, he was forced to resign and leave Victoria Pictures, but he did not go completely silent because of this.
