"What else can happen? Find an investment."

Charlize sat lazily on the sofa, crossing his legs, holding the coffee, opened the red chun lightly, and tasted it in small mouths. He said lightly with a smile on his beautiful face.

Andy frowned and asked, "I'm looking for investment for you?"

Andy is not unfamiliar with this movie "The Ninth District". He has also watched it in his previous life. The movie tells the story of an Earthling who is infected with some mysterious virus and is gradually becoming an alien. In order not to become a subject of research, he has to escape to the only safe place - the Ninth District.

This "dirty" science fiction movie in his previous life not only made a big hit in the box office as a dark horse, but its new director also officially made its debut in Hollywood because of this film.

However, Andy couldn't figure out how the script of this movie was seen here at Charlize. And after Charlize's tone, it seemed that the other party was coming to find Charlize to invest.

"I have read the script. The conception of the story comes from the experience of this new director Neil Blomkamp during the segregation period in South Africa when he was young. Although he is a newcomer, he has also filmed many short films, such as "The Alien of Johannesburg" and other science fiction short films.

Originally, this movie "The Ninth District" had already received investment from Sony, but during the preparation period, Sony withdrew its investment and the shooting plan was stranded. Because the film will be filmed on-site in slums in Africa, Neil Bromkamp sent the script to me through director Peter Jackson, hoping to get my support and investment.

I like this story very much, especially the aliens who live in slums and are metaphorically the lower class, while those arrogant agents metaphor for the upper class, which not only covers the problems of racial discrimination but also covers the contradictions between classes."

"How much?" Andy asked with a raised eyebrow after closing the script.

"Thirty million dollars."

"If you like it, just vote..."

Before Andy could finish his words, Charlize rolled his eyes and slammed him back, "Stop pretending to be stupid!"

"Ahem..." Andy coughed twice, and before he could say anything, Charlize said to him: "I want to be the producer of this movie!"

"It's okay to have a name, but it's not okay to follow the crew to travel to Africa." Andy frowned and looked at Charlize who was unyielding, and compromised helplessly, then sat next to Charlize, reached out to her and hugged her and chuckled, "These people nowadays are really doing everything they can."

Andy did not refuse, and the discomfort in Charlize's heart also dissipated. To be honest, in Hollywood, her relationship with Andy Smith was simply an open secret. Although there was no evidence, everyone knew who the father of Charlize's child was.

And this time, Andy was able to agree, which was of extraordinary significance to Charlize. Even though she knew that the other party was using her hope to attract Andy's attention, she also accepted it happily. As Andy's wealth and power grew, Charlize was no longer satisfied with being an invisible person. Although she was an underground person, she didn't mind showing her existence in Hollywood!

Meanwhile, in the Vita Studios branch in Hollywood, Peter Jackson put a cup of coffee in front of Neil Bromkamp, ​​reached out and patted the other person on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, be patient, there will be good news."

"Peter, are you sure Charlize Sailon will invest? Although it reflects that segregation will resonate with her, it will be 30 million dollars..." Neil Bromkamp still couldn't figure out why Peter Jackson would let him take any luck in South Africa's American Diamond.

Peter Jackson, who had a fat figure and a bearded face, shook his head and laughed, and sat back on his boss' chair. He knew that some information circulated in the upper class of Hollywood was not clear about it. After pondering for a while, he said: "The script is for Charlize Sellon. As long as she can impress her, you don't have to worry about investment. You should also know that Charlize Sellon gave birth to a daughter last year, right?"

When Neil Blomkamp heard this, he couldn't help but frowned slightly. He naturally knew the news. It was a big controversy at that time. All media were looking for a father for Sailon's daughter. However, the news was quickly suppressed, and then slowly no media reported it. However, there were many rumors on the Internet and private, and it was impossible to tell which one is true or not. Of course, among these rumors, the most likely one is that the father of the child is the youngest super rich man, the new Hollywood giant. He looked at Peter with some uncertainty and asked, "It's not really that person, right?"

Peter Jackson took out his pipe and lit it, took a sip, spit out the smoke, and said lightly: "Although there is no evidence to prove it, this incident is an open secret in the upper Hollywood circle. Everyone is tacitly informed. Just know that South African diamonds are very popular in Hollywood. My relationship with Sailon is pretty good. I believe in your talent and her vision. This will be delivered to that person. I believe he will not miss this script. Thirty million is really a small amount of money for some people."

Neil Blomkamp, ​​who learned about this situation, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and looked at Peter with gratitude, "Thank you, Peter, I really don't know how to thank you..."

"Okay, stop talking about this. We are friends, and I believe in my own vision and your talent is beyond doubt. If no one really invests, I will invest in you out of my own pocket. I believe that the movies you make will alarm the global film industry." Peter Jackson is really optimistic about the other party's talent.

Just as Neil Bromkamp was so moved that he wanted to say something, Peter Jackson's cell phone on his desk rang. Peter picked up the phone and looked at it, with a smile on his face and said to Neil: "The call from Sailon seems to have a result."

In Neil's slightly nervous and hopeful gaze, Peter answered the phone, "Hello, Charlize..."

"...Haha, OK, no problem, then I'll make it so. See you tomorrow, thank you, Charlize, of course, if you have a suitable role, I will definitely find you. I'm looking forward to working with you, OK, then that's it, see you tomorrow, bye."

Peter Jackson said with a bright smile, and compared the ok gesture to Neil who was extremely expectant. Looking at Neil who was breathing a sigh of relief, Peter continued to greet Charlize with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Peter Jackson smiled and reached out to shake Neil's hand, congratulating sincerely: "Congratulations, Neil, you can finally show your talent."

"No, Peter, this is all your credit. Thank you. I will never forget the help you gave me, forever!" Neil held Peter's hand tightly and said in a trembling voice with some excitement.

"Okay, we should have a drink and celebrate..." Peter let go of his hand, stood up with a smile, walked to the wine cabinet, picked up a bottle of whiskey, and when he arrived two, he handed Neil a glass, who was still unable to calm down.

"bite!"

The two of them touched the wine glasses and drank them all in one sip. Neil couldn't wait to ask, "What's going on?"

"Focus Pictures, a subsidiary of Universal Pictures, has decided to invest and make an appointment to meet at noon tomorrow to discuss cooperation. Charlize and Ceo Carl of Focus Pictures will be present."

"That vampire Carl?" Neil couldn't help but frown. Carl's name is now well-known in the Hollywood industry. Not only is he the new Hollywood gatekeeper, but he also has the name of a treacherous vampire to a higher level because of the popular "Ghost Record".

Indeed, without the discovery and excavation of Carl, "Ghost Records" would not have entered the theater. However, with the popularity of this movie, the unprecedented cost ratio of sweeping the global box office of 200 million US dollars, all the copyrights of the movie he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy the movie were also reported. It can be imagined that all the envy, jealous and hatred forces would definitely complain and curse Carl.

This also gave Carl the label of a greedy vampire in many people in Hollywood, especially when he was dealing with major film companies on behalf of Andy Smith, his reputation of arrogance, cunning and greed was also intentionally spread by those who were interested.
