Chapter 2437 Get to Know Each Other

Fali took her children to Mingyue Villa first.

Chen Zhao stayed to communicate with James and see if they needed help.

Although the people on James's crew are all experienced, the setting is a very cumbersome matter.

Many times, Chen Zhao felt tired after watching it.

Although James went to rent such a manor outside.

Let’s not say whether we can find it or not.

The daily rental cost is more than ten or two hundred thousand dollars.

Of course, the main reason is that there are not many estates of this size in Los Angeles.

And the vast majority of owners are out of reach.

They don't lack tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars.

This is also the manor that James originally rented. It was clearly agreed upon and the contract was signed.

As a result, people fell out with each other as soon as they said they wanted to, and James couldn't do anything about it.

If James dares to sue the other party with the contract, the other party's legal team will be able to play with him for three years.

There are legal provisions in the United States that if a film or television drama is subject to legal proceedings, it will not be allowed to be released during the litigation period.

So even if James was cheated by the opponent, he still had to grit his teeth and swallow this breath.

If James wants to wait until the film is released before suing him.

The other party could have said that James did not come on the day of the appointment.

Here, maybe not every rich person knows how to take advantage of loopholes.

But rich people have teams of lawyers, and their teams know how to take advantage of loopholes.

"Jane, Rodel, come here."

At this time, a man and a woman came over.

The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful.

This was Chen Zhao's first feeling.

"Juro Jane, our heroine." James introduced: "Mante Rodell, the hero...Chen, the owner of this manor, is also my friend, a rich man."

In fact, Juro Jane and Mante Rodell were always nearby and did not come over on their own initiative.

They were just waiting for James to call them over and get to know Chen Zhao.

None of them are considered first-line stars in Hollywood. Mante Rodell is better and has a certain reputation in Hollywood.

At least Chen Zhao had an impression of him.

And before Julo Jane appeared in James' movie, she was a passerby.

No visibility whatsoever.

The conditions are quite outstanding, but conditions like hers are at a premium in Hollywood.

James chose the two of them not only because they were cheap, had certain acting skills, and because their image fit the role.

Also because they are easier to control than those big stars.

Although James' first movie has already brought him to the top.

But he is still not considered a first-line director, and is still at a disadvantage to many big stars.

Once a conflict occurs, it is likely that James will make a compromise.

Unless he is on Steven's level, if anyone dares to collide with him on the set, he will tell them to get lost.

Qiu Luo Jian and Mante Rodel wanted to make friends with Chen Zhao, a rich man.

For them, connections are very important.

Chen Zhao himself is rich, there is no doubt about this.

Chen Zhao was also familiar with James, which made them believe that Chen Zhao had the value of investing in friendship.

Chen Zhao shook hands with the male and female protagonists one by one.

Chen Zhao does not have the familiar enthusiasm of black people.

So the conversation after the handshake was still very restrained.

"Chen, don't you have a servant at home?"

"No, I don't like outsiders to interfere in my life and my family's life." Chen Zhao said calmly.

"This manor is really big." Qiu Luo Jian said with a sigh.

She hasn't gone inside yet, but just from the appearance, it's already stunning enough for her.

There is also the grassland behind and the mirror-like lake in front.

At the other end is the lush mountain forest. This manor seems to be a perfect work of art between modern technology and nature.

"This manor is not only big, but also expensive to build." James has been to Mirror Lake in the past.

We also know that Chen Zhao’s villa was originally destroyed by the super hurricane ‘Holy Infant’ last year.

Later, I had dinner with Chen Zhao and Steven several times, and I knew how much money Chen Zhao had invested in the rebuilt manor.

The investment in transplanting and purchasing some vegetation in the manor’s yard alone exceeded half a million dollars.

The manor's equipment and butler system cost more than ten million dollars.

Originally, he had no intention of asking Chen Zhao for help.

After all, even he was a little frightened by the cost of Chen Zhao's manor.

If something were to break during filming, it would be a loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

In particular, Chen Zhao's private wine cellar and the food raw materials stored by him are all high-end and priceless rarities.

If the people in your crew are a little unclean, they may cause irreparable losses.

James wouldn't even bring the crew here if he wasn't forced to.

When he comes to visit on weekdays, Chen Zhao is willing to open his home collection to him. This is a personal friendship.

But if it is due to work problems that cause losses to Chen Zhao.

When the time comes, whether Chen Zhao wants him to compensate or not will affect their friendship.

Fortunately, Chen Zhao didn't think too much.

"Chen, let's go in and take a look at the set construction." James was still a little worried.

Although the set construction does not require redecoration, there will be certain layout changes to the set.

When Chen Zhao entered the living room, he found that his living room had become messy.

Chen Zhao's toothache hurt and he rubbed his brows.

James also noticed it and yelled at the crew building the set: "Who threw things away? Who threw that wrench there?"

Juluo Jian and Roman Rodell focused their attention on the decoration structure of the entire oversized living room.

Just a living room is full of modern technology.

It even gives people the feeling of being deep in a future science fiction world.

This manor exudes a master-class design style from the outside to the inside.

"Okay, I'll leave this place to you, James. I'll go stay in the house on the beach for two days." Chen Zhao felt that it was better to keep out of sight.

If I stay here, I will only feel distressed.

Seeing that Chen Zhao was gone, James let out a long sigh of relief.

If Chen Zhao were here, it would be difficult for his crew to make progress.

"Director, does this manor cost 20 million US dollars?" Qiu Luo Jian asked curiously.

"Twenty million U.S. dollars? Haha..." James sneered: "Chen invested no more than 100 million U.S. dollars in this manor, and several of his friends offered 300 million U.S. dollars, but he didn't sell it."

Qiu Luo Jian and Roman Rodel couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

If the combined net worth of the two of them was multiplied ten times, the manor would not be worth anything.

"You can't sell it for twice the profit once it's resold? No matter how good this manor is, it's not worth 300 million U.S. dollars, right?"

"Whether it's worth it or not is not up to you, and Chen Zhao really doesn't like the income of hundreds of millions of dollars."
