Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

In July there is fire, and in September, clothes are given.

If according to the "Book of Songs", the weather in August has gradually turned cooler, summer and autumn have come, and the hot summer has finally come to an end; but New York in August is still shrouded in a restless sultry—

I can't hear the cicadas, only the roar of the engine; I can't see the jungle, only the sea of ​​people; I can't feel the heat wave, only the traffic... However, the heat and boredom of the mood are rolling in the sweat.

Between people coming and going, the oily faces are full of manic depression unique to the city, and the hurriedly passing footsteps raise a piece of dust, like a gust of wind swaying under the golden sunlight; The shadows on the ground are long and densely overlapping, like a haze shrouding the city, invisible, but there.

At this moment, how many people can really calm down, sit in the open-air coffee house by the roadside, and enjoy a leisurely cup of coffee? Some people may say, rich people; but the fact is, rich people will choose to sit in an air-conditioned room to relax themselves, and stylish people may sit in an open-air coffee house so suave and hypocritical.

In many cases, the customs and etiquette of the nobles are indeed a "disease", and there is no problem in describing it in this way, but this "disease" is precisely their last insistence. Peace of mind is naturally cool. This will and perseverance is the ability to distinguish them from "ordinary people", and it has gradually become a part of them that they are accustomed to.

Andre Hamilton pretended to be contemplating, but out of the corner of his eyes was quietly looking at Renly across from him.

Renly was slowly savoring the coffee in his hand, the hot coffee was steaming hot, but Renly was like a cup of hot tea in the cold winter, with a contented leisure and comfort on his face, although there was a faint ooze on his forehead. He was a little sweaty, but he didn't fall into the predicament of sweating profusely. That relaxed and contented attitude seemed as if the scorching heat of midsummer no longer existed.

Andre persisted and persisted, but in the end he couldn't help but lose, "I'm going in." Instead of asking Renly's approval, he announced the final decision.

After speaking, Andre ignored Renly, pulled out his rattan chair, and walked into the coffee house, seeking the coolness and comfort of the air-conditioned room; but Renly was still in a hurry, and invited The waiter, said they would be moved indoors and then unhurriedly into the air-conditioned room.

Andre, who was sitting on the wooden bench, looked at Renly who was sitting down slowly across from him, and frowned in disbelief, "Dear God, I can finally be sure now that you are a Hall."

"You mean, lunatic or pervert?" Renly said with a smile. "You should know that I'm not really qualified, I just hit the benchmark. Alexander is the real etiquette, who is like you."

Alexander Hamilton, Andre's eldest brother and successor to the next Duke of Hamilton, was impeccable in manners and demeanor; Andre, the youngest in the family, was a different story.

The two brothers and his parents were very indulgent to him. Andre grew up almost like a sheep herder. There was no problem with basic etiquette, but it was always easy to make mistakes at critical moments. However, because all the family members didn't mind, Andre naturally didn't mind either.

Andre spread his hands, already used to such remarks, and smiled complacently. This is the true pride of the heavens, there is no need to show off or pretend, everything is hidden in the bones and born with it.

But then, Andre's smile collapsed, because he could see that Renly relaxed again, showing no signs of being anxious or anxious, which made Andre realize that all his disguises had been seen through. "So, you're not worried at all?"

"Can my concerns affect the outcome?" Renly asked rhetorically.

Andre grinded his teeth, "You know, yes."

"Then I'm starting to worry now," Renly said.

Andre rolled his eyes and tried to explain a few more words, but he was defeated in the end. It seems that since the first time they met, he has never had the upper hand in front of Renly, "Why do you always Boss, we are always on duty?" Andre couldn't help complaining.

"Because you're willing to believe me," Renly replied with a smile.

Andre was speechless.

Such an answer is not only irrefutable, but also the hidden emotion is surging silently. Renly is always like this, even if he knows he's joking or joking, he has a special aura about him that calms people down and makes people want to believe that before they realize it, they're already around him. around.

Laughing dumbly, Andre shook his head slightly and returned to the point of the matter, "To be honest, you should know that as long as it is a work you recommend, as long as you are willing to be a producer, I am willing to invest. Now the whole In Hollywood, you're the only one I can trust. So, no doubt, of course I'm willing to invest."

"Andre, business is business, and friends are friends. You obviously don't create a production company for word of mouth, but for profit, and you should make a calm judgment." Renly looked at Andre and said, "Of course, I hope you can invest in the works I recommend, but you are more important than a movie project. It is not easy to meet a few friends who are worth meeting now.”

At this time, the waiter brought in the coffee for two people.

Renly smiled at the waiter and said

After expressing his thanks, he picked up the coffee cup again and savoured it carefully.

Andre was stunned for a moment, then laughed, couldn't help but began to complain, "This set doesn't work for me. You should have moved the set against Eaton, right? It's really lazy. "

Renly was noncommittal.

Andre was at a loss for words again, and in the end he could only shake his head gloomily, "Let's get back to work, how much do you think it is appropriate to control the investment cost for this work?"

Renly and Andre met today for the Nightcrawler project.

After Renly briefly explained the program framework and basic content of the entire project, Andre put on a thoughtful gesture. Originally, he wanted to deliberately sway Renly's appetite and looked forward to seeing Renly make further efforts. Lobbying his appearance, after all, such an opportunity is really rare.

But he didn't expect that Renly was calm and unhurried.

So, the above scene happened, and after all, Andre couldn't calm down.

Facing Andre's final "disarm and surrender", although this was what Renly expected, and he also expected it, Andre's straightforward and straightforward response made Renly raise his eyebrows slightly——

Dan Gilroy is not Damien Chazelle. Although Gilroy has no directing experience and is not a top screenwriter, he still has a lot of contacts and resources in the industry; however, "Nightcrawler" has always There are objective reasons for not being able to find investors so far.

Now, Andre didn't hesitate, just simply nodded because of Renly. Renly felt different after all.

However, Renly and Andre don't need mother-in-law and mother-in-law's mutual courtesy, as was the case with "One Man's Concert" at the beginning, and the same with "Boom Drummer" before.

So, Renly nodded lightly and said his thoughts without politeness, "I'm not sure about the specifics, it still depends on the director's plan for the whole project, but this project is definitely better than 'Boom Drummer' It’s bigger, the cast, the location, the props, etc., all on a larger scale.”

"In my estimation, it may cost five million, and at most ten million. If you want, you can find a producer you are familiar with and evaluate it in detail." Renly said conclusively, this aspect is ultimately It is not his strength, and the opinions he can give are really limited.

Five million to ten million is not a small number for an independent film. But Andre didn't even frown, these numbers were just a series of numbers to him, without much practical significance, "Do you think if I ask Matthew to help calculate some numbers, will he be fine? "

"Matthew?" Renly thought for a while, "You can try it out, he is very good at numbers. However, Matthew still has too little understanding of capital operation in Hollywood. If you can, you should find someone who is familiar with the industry. The internal accountant, and then meet Matthew and talk in detail, the thinking will be much clearer."

"I see." Because "Boom Drummer" has not been released yet, Andre can't make a horizontal comparison by himself, so he needs more professional advice now, "If you are looking for Matthew, you still need to give him Say it, Matthew's stinky temper will not be bought by anyone except you. I promise, I won't disturb his working hours. "

"Ha, I refuse. I'll be disciplined for disturbing Matthew's work rhythm." Renly laughed cheerfully.

Andre looked at Renly speechlessly, then said roguely, "I don't care, I'll just say, this is your project. You have to be a producer, otherwise, I will never take over."

"Won't you take over what?" During the conversation, the waiter led a figure over again. The person who came came without the slightest pause or estrangement, and directly cut into the conversation. Such a "rude" behavior, Renly and Ender Lie didn't care, didn't even look up, and then the familiar Eaton Dormer was already seated.

"Why did you call him here? Are you sure he's not late?" Andre groaned.

"No, I deliberately delayed him by half an hour. I think half an hour might be enough to get you done." Renly said with a smile.

Andre's head was covered in black lines.

After Eaton ordered coffee, he added the topic seamlessly, "What half an hour is enough?"

"Renly said, half an hour is enough to get you done." Andre turned his head and said with a look of schadenfreude.

Eaton didn't mind, "Half an hour? No, one minute is enough."
