Chapter 691: London, England

Downtown Los Angeles, Eighteenth Street.

As night fell, Finch stood in the open-air area on the second floor of a cafe, looking at the Mexican restaurant diagonally opposite, watching the people coming in and out at the door.

Someone came to the side and said, "Just confirmed, they are still inside."

Finch looked at the sky, then at his watch, and warned, "It's getting late, it's not safe to let everyone in the alley out."

The man immediately pulled out his cell phone and started making calls.

Even with well-trained security personnel like Finch, downtown Los Angeles at night is still a dangerous area.

The city is called the City of Angels, also known as the City of Sin.

The city center in the daytime and at night have two faces.

To be precise, the City of Angels is very suitable to be used to refer to the wealthy district from the west of the city to the coastline, while the old city center is a veritable city of sin.

Finch, who grew up in Los Angeles, knows a joke that describes the city: It is the same whether you close the door in an area with good law and order, and it is the same whether you close the door in an area with bad law and order.

Finch asked people to withdraw temporarily. On the one hand, it was out of safety considerations, and on the other hand, he did not want to conflict with gang members.

They may not be afraid of those gang members, but the two sides are not at the same level at all, there is no need to deal with them at all, and the boss's work is the most important thing.

The restaurant door opened, and the target person came out, besides the retired editor of the entertainment gossip newspaper, there was also a young man with the most common flaxen hair.

This person looks very ordinary, looks less than thirty years old.

Just like when they entered the restaurant, someone next to Finch immediately took pictures with a high-powered lens.

Finch leads a mature team, and he also has confidence in this team. With the support of a super rich man, they can not only get a high salary and receive the best training, but also some of the best in the United States and the world. equipment.

Following the super rich man all the way from low to high, Finch fully realized that after having enough money in this country, money can really do a lot of things.

The retired newspaper editor and the ordinary middle-aged man got into two cars respectively and left the restaurant respectively.

Someone followed the retired newspaper editor back home. Finch and the others rode in several cars, secretly watching ordinary middle-aged men enter the hotel.

The remaining people continued to stare here, while the rest evacuated one after another.

On the way back, Finch received a call and made a special trip to Hollywood to pick up another companion.

The man got into the car, the car started, and Finch asked, "How did the investigation go?"

"There is a result." The man said: "I have found out that the other party came from London the day before yesterday and boarded the plane at Heathrow Airport."

The answer was beyond Finch's expectations: "England? London?"

The man said: "Yes, London, England. According to what we know, he has already booked a return flight ticket, and he may return to the UK soon."

Finch quickly made a decision: "Let someone keep an eye on him, and you also take someone to London to touch his bottom." He patted the man on the shoulder: "Funding is not a problem, we have sufficient funds."

The man immediately said: "As long as there is funding, even in the UK, we can find out some things."

Finch nodded slightly: "Go and get ready."

The car made a full circle and dropped the man in Hollywood again.

Back in Beverly Hills, Finch immediately notified Ronan of the situation.

After hearing Finch's description, Ronan had a bad feeling: "London, England..."

This gave him some associations based on the previous ones, especially the various rights and wrongs caused by the recent copyright lawsuits about "X-Men" and "Fantastic Four".

Generally speaking, at a certain height, neither party will use means other than business, because you have money and I have money, and money can really buy a lot of things.

But some people may not have such a tacit understanding.

Ronan looked at Finch: "You are right to have people follow you to London, England, double the manpower,

Mind you, that's not Los Angeles. "

Finch said, "We'll be careful."

Ronan said in a low voice: "Focus on those London branches and media organizations of News Corporation."

"You mean..." Finch was startled.

Ronan raised his finger and shook it: "It's just a guess, it's best not to have it, but if it does..."

Finch answered, "I understand."

"Be careful." Ronan reminded again: "Don't be afraid to spend money, safety is the most important thing."

Finch nodded: "Don't worry."

Ronan beckoned and said to the living room, "Nikia, come here."

Butler Nikia came over immediately: "Mr. Anderson."

"Is there any problem with the servants at home?" Ronan asked.

Nikia said: "The rest are all old people who know their roots. I canceled two recruitment plans, and the existing staff can basically maintain the operation of the manor."

Ronan knew who he might be facing this time, and he took it very seriously: "Nikia, help Finch to upgrade the security equipment of the manor again." He looked at Finch: "I want the best equipment, especially Anti-eavesdropping."

"No problem." Finch assured, "Leave this matter to me."

Nikia said: "I will personally assist Finch."

Ronan waved his hand, Nikia knew she had nothing to do, and immediately went to the other side.

"Finch, there is one more thing." Ronan knew that defense alone is not enough. If it is really guessed, it is necessary to have a counterattack card: "People who are going to England, send another team to learn more about "World War II." Newspaper."

He kept his voice very low, and warned a few more words.

Finch kept nodding: "We have received funding and trained for so long, not only in defense, but also in other jobs."

"Go ahead and keep a low profile." Ronan still reminded: "Be low-key and don't attract people's attention."

Finch said again, "I understand."

Ronan hoped that this matter would not be as complicated as he thought, but for some things, it is often not harmful to prepare for the worst.

After all, those people were so courageous that even Downing Street dared to be included in the wiretapping list.

Some things, when they are not revealed, people will feel incredible and impossible.

But if you want to investigate in a targeted manner, you may be able to gain something.

Twentieth Century Fox proposes to negotiate an out-of-court settlement between the X-Men and the Fantastic Four, but on the condition that Marvel Entertainment immediately cease publication of new Fantastic Four comics and not republish them during the negotiations .

Such a condition, not to mention Ronan, even Avi Arad would not agree.

Ronan shook his head and went to the lounge next to him. The housekeeper, Nikia, understood his habits and immediately made tea and brought it in.

"Thank you." Ronan nodded with a smile.

Nikia showed a subtle smile, said goodbye and left.

What Ronan held in his hand was the script sent to him by Shahai Entertainment's screenwriting department yesterday, a horror film project from the script library of the former Artisan Films - "Human Skin Inn".

Similar to the script of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", the script of "Human Skin Inn" has also been adjusted. Since Shahai Entertainment does not lack bloody horror films, this script has been pressed until now.

Now, the new "Fatal Turn" series is about to be released, and the production team over there can also devote themselves to new horror film projects after rest and adjustments. There are not many films like "Human Skin Inn" Surprisingly, it is a typical American plasma horror film video.

To put it simply, it is the life-and-death journey of Erbi’s young American youths.

As for the director, Sandsea Entertainment has long ago finalized Eli Roth as the director, but it was delayed until now because of the script.

Luckily, it doesn't take too long to make a film like this

"Human Skin Inn" can only wait until a suitable date is selected for release next year.

Including Mr. and Mrs. Smith, which is about to start filming, the two scripts obtained through the acquisition of Artisan Films have all entered the stage of actual operation.

It's a pity that other scripts temporarily make people unable to see the value.

In addition, some of the films in the copyright of the obtained hand film database also attracted many people.

After Sylvester Stallone heard that the copyright of the "First Blood" series belonged to Relativity Entertainment, he called Ronan himself, and then visited the Relativity Building to discuss the launch of "First Blood 4" and "Relativity Entertainment". Possibility of him directing and starring.

The golden age of traditional action movies is over, and Ronan is well aware of that, so he has little interest in Stallone's overtures.

But it didn't make it clear either.

Ronan put forward a condition, if Stallone took the initiative to cut his salary to 5 million US dollars, and ensured that all productions could be completed within a budget of 20 million US dollars, then Sandsea Entertainment would immediately give the green light to "First Blood 4".

The result of this negotiation can be imagined, Sylvester Stallone left the Relativity Building very unhappy.

No way, with a production budget of 20 million US dollars, even Stallone's director and starring salary are not enough.

But it is impossible for Ronan to pay 20 million US dollars for Stallone alone. The movies of this era and the experience of Stallone in the past fully demonstrate that Stallone's worth is seriously inflated.

Just kidding, 20 million dollars is not bad, but Stallone is going to sell his three daughters to Futurama Manor.

Once, Stallone was regarded by many people as a national father-in-law.

Those three daughters helped Stallone earn a lot of fame through the Internet.

In addition to Stallone, Len Wiseman, who has worked with Relativity Entertainment, also found Ronan and wanted to reshoot "Total Recall" in the former Artisan film library.

It's not a sequel, it's a remake of an old one.

Ronan briefly chatted with Len Wiseman, and when he learned that the "wife showman" planned to let Kate Beckinsale play the leading role, he immediately rejected Len Wiseman's proposal.

This is a sci-fi film, and investment is definitely indispensable. Let Kate Beckinsale play the leading role in a big production. "Van Helsing" is a lesson from the past.

Ronan still has some confidence in Len Wiseman, but not at all in Kate Beckinsale.
