and the movie star, whose real name is Archer and now goes by Leonardo, nodded,
William shook Ridley's hand with a smile on his face and joked, "Congratulations, director, after today, you will probably become the target of directors all over the world."
"thanks, thanks".
Ridley knew it was only a matter of time before he became one of the top directors.
Of course he was extremely grateful to William, "I, I, I still can't believe it.
One day I will be watched by movie fans all over the world, thank you, thank you sincerely, Mr. Devonshire."
"Don't get excited, relax."
Feeling that Ridley's heartbeat was a little fast, William hurriedly used fear of his arm movements to silently release a soothing magic.
After the white-haired Ridley calmed down a bit, he smiled and said, "If you are in good health, maybe you can choose a new script.
Save that guy Hans and his collaborators from having to sit in an empty stadium and grieve their money a few months later because the movie wasn't connected to the show."
Hans laughed a few times, "Although I don't want to say in front of everyone that I care about money,
But when I heard that in just three days, the number of people scheduled to watch the movie has already reached more than 700,000, I am really looking forward to the filming of the new movie."
"Hahaha".
When the people around him laughed, they, like the shareholders of Stark Group, looked at Hans with envy.
The average ticket price is 30 US dollars, and the stadium can seat more than 84,000 people. After deducting the cost, there will definitely be a net profit of 2.4 million US dollars.
Even if there are only 20 games a month, there are still 48 million U.S. dollars. After being divided into half by William, it is no different from stealing money for the stadium industry that has not even been able to make profits in the past.
And because the Metropolitan Stadium is the home of two football teams, it was rumored to be the first holographic movie broadcast venue.
Not only did the market value of the stadium soar by four levels, various advertising and sponsorship fees also increased by at least three levels.
In two years at most, Hans and his partners can make back the cost of buying the stadium.
After shaking hands and saying hello to the film's creators and the collaborators that Hans brought over,
William took Abigail and an impostor named Leonardo to sit in the middle of the VIP seats.
Now it is confirmed that Leonardo and William have a deep friendship.
But while Leonardo was smiling, he whispered to William, "Boss, I will definitely be annoyed to death by everyone in Hollywood tomorrow."
William laughed and joked, "We are already very familiar with each other, and in 1989, you were still one of the few guys who made 20 million US dollars from me."
"No, no, no", when I think that not only did William not silence him, but he actually let him leave with 20 million US dollars,
Archer, who changed his identity to William's subordinate, smiled and said, "That's not earned, but my bonus."
William asked doubtfully, "Is there a difference?"
"Hehe, of course there is a difference," Archer said flatteringly, "getting the bonus means that I am your subordinate, helping you complete the task, and I deserve the reward."
"Haha", William smiled and shook his head, although he knew in his heart that Archer was flattering himself.
But this guy was indeed right, and if it hadn't been for him, it wouldn't have been so easy to bet against the Debis Group and make a profit of more than one billion US dollars.
And William is also used to thinking of his subordinates when good things happen.
He said to Abigail, "Honey, if there is a suitable script and role, give Archer more opportunities."
"Archer?" When Abigail was confused, William said with a smile, "This guy used to be a team with Gunnar and the others. He helped me through life and death and made a lot of money for me.
The most important thing is that he has a strict mouth and is considered one of his own."
Upon hearing this, Abigail immediately smiled and nodded, "No problem, if there is a suitable script and role, I will let someone notify him to audition."
"No, his ability is not just acting."
William glanced at Archer, who looked excited, and continued to say to Abigail, "I started to make a living on my own when I was in my teens. I worked as a thief, a missing diamond customer, and a mercenary.
Leave those secret battles in Hollywood to him, and he will definitely help you resolve them reasonably and without any trouble."
After speaking, William smiled and asked Archer, "If you are interested, you can try to work part-time as a person in charge of external affairs while being an actor.
It helps us keep an eye on the production of the movie, and prevents some people who are not clear-headed from doing anything for the role and affecting the filming of the movie."
Hearing that it was this mission, Archer breathed a sigh of relief and immediately nodded and said, "No problem, boss, you can pair me with a few lawyers and let me know what I can do.
I will definitely be able to maintain relationships with actors, directors and other practitioners, and avoid problems such as problems caused by peers.”
William didn't care that Archer obviously didn't want to do dirty work anymore.
Moreover, it would be too wasteful to let Archer, who has been cleared and has a huge reputation, pick up a gun again, and the effect will definitely not be as good as that of 007 Craig and White Ghost.
After saying this, seeing that William stopped talking about business, Archer very smartly whispered to William about all kinds of filth in Hollywood.
Probably no one would not want to listen to the grievances between big Hollywood stars as interesting stories.
So, when the movie started, William laughed softly from time to time.
This made Abigail very dissatisfied and patted William on the arm a few times, "Gentlemen,
Even if we have independent seats here and no one can overhear, we still have to consider whether the nonsense you say will affect me."
"Okay, honey, you are the boss and you have the final say."
William shrugged at Archer, who instantly stopped smiling, but had a look of surprise in his eyes, and began to watch the holographic movie honestly.
Time passed little by little, and more than an hour after the movie started, Sunday suddenly reported, "Sir, Barney Ross from The Expendables not only appeared outside the stadium,
He also parked his car outside the stadium, at the best spot for surveillance cameras on the street."
William was watching the movie in a trance, because Archer and the Expendables had worked together several times, and they were already very familiar with each other.
So he said nonchalantly, "Just show up when you show up. What's so weird about it?"
But after more than ten seconds, William suddenly said in surprise, "Even if this guy is retired, since he wants to watch a movie, he didn't ask Gunnar for a VIP ticket?"
I immediately called Gunnar on Sunday, and he replied after a while, "Sir, it seems that Barney Ross is not here to watch the movie."
This made William immediately wonder if Barney had returned to his old business, or was he really coming here to take a look out of curiosity?
Then he shook his head. Before they retired, people like Barney made a lot of money in the stock market using commissions because of William's advice.
Not to mention hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of VIP tickets, even if you find someone to buy tickets at double the price, it will be no problem.
This is because I'm in trouble and I want to ask for help, but I can't speak out because I've been retired for four or five years.
As for whether Gunnar will call Barney to ask.
William believed that Gunnar would only be on Dinosaur Island. He was worried and anxious, waiting impatiently for the news to come to him on Sunday.
After all, William didn't have to deal with Barney, otherwise he wouldn't have allowed them to retire for so many years and still live well.
After thinking for a while, he turned to Archer and said, "Barney is outside the stadium. Let's go see if he is in trouble?"
When he heard it was Barney, who had gone on missions with the Suicide Squad, Archer, who would still be in touch from time to time even after everyone retired, immediately nodded, "I'll go right away."
After Archer left the independent VIP desk and entered his backstage lounge, he tinkered for a while.
From superstar Leonardo, he turned into a common citizen wearing ordinary clothes, wearing a baseball cap and a big scarf.
At this time, Barney, who was sitting in the car, was talking to his mobile phone and said, "Are you sure you want to choose this time to cause trouble for Tony Stark?"
"I can't wait any longer, Barney."
In the security room of the underground parking lot in the stadium, Ivan Fanko sat in front of dozens of surveillance screens.
Staring at the screen, Stark's personal bodyguard Happy drove a Phantom into the underground parking lot.
After learning that the holographic film would be played at the Metropolitan Stadium, both Ivan and Barney thought that Stark would definitely attend the premiere in New York.
And as long as you have money, you can easily find the right connections and identity, so that the metropolitan security department can admit Ivan without any doubt.
Ivan, who was holding a toothpick in his mouth, took his mobile phone and said to Barney, "In the past few months, this guy Stark has only gone out three times in his armor outside of home.
I finally caught the opportunity for him to appear in public without wearing a suit, and I couldn’t wait any longer.”
Barney opened the car window, glanced at the surveillance camera more than ten meters away, and continued, "But today is the premiere of the boss's new movie.
Do you really think that after doing something on your own, the boss will let you go with just the energy whip lock technique?"
"No, Barney," Ivan Fanko said with a smile, "he is your boss, never my boss.
And I don’t care if your boss lets me go”.
Hearing this, Barney couldn't help but tighten his hands on the steering wheel, and then persuaded him again after dozens of seconds.
"Stop it, Lao Tu, if you want to discredit the Stark family, you can make your family's experience public.
As the third person who can build the Ark reactor, it is impossible for the whole world not to believe it.”
Ivan grinned and said, "Didn't you watch the live broadcast this afternoon? William Devonshire said publicly,
He and Tony Stark formed an offensive and defensive alliance to jointly protect the secrets of the Ark reactor and the Mark suit.
If I hold a press conference, maybe as soon as the news of the press conference gets out, there will be a bloody hole in my head within an hour."
Barney was about to say something else when he saw a familiar figure staring at him more than ten meters away.
After watching for more than ten seconds, he recognized Archer wearing a baseball cap and scarf.
Barney was relieved when he saw it was Archer.
William sent someone he knew well, and at least he had no intention of doing anything to him for the time being.
Ivan, who was in the security room in the underground garage of the stadium, saw that Barney had not answered for so long, thinking that he was in a dilemma.
I sighed in my heart and said to the phone, "Go home, Barney, you don't owe me anything anymore."
