    "Okay, I see, Todd, thank you for your work during this time, I'll take a closer look and get back to you." Sean ended the call and opened a can of beer , walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass, looked at the street outside and started drinking.

    The weather outside is not bad, although there is no sunshine, it is very sunny, suitable for people to go out on the street, even Sanders ran out. But Sean didn't have this time, and stayed in the room, processing the information from the United States.

      Behind Glass and Gimli—wrong, equal to Gimli, after all, the more beautiful elf characters are more pleasing to the audience, not to mention, Sean's elf makeup is indeed handsome.

    God knows what those make-up artists do. He who doesn't usually look handsome can be dressed like that by their wonderful hands.

    In short, the result is that it is easy to shoot for two or three days, take a day off, shoot another day, and then weekend. After saving people that day, Sean should have taken a day off and another day of filming, but because of this incident, Jackson deliberately gave him an extra day off, and in addition to the weekend, he took almost four days off.

    Sean just took these few days to sort out his thoughts and focus most of his energy on his own affairs, such as talking to Galen to understand the current situation at home, listening to Polk and Lucy's voice, and flirting with Naomi and Jordana on the phone respectively. In a week or so, Naomi will also be coming to New Zealand. After Jackson has already started preparing for Helm's Deep, most of Rohan's plays, as the princess and also appearing in Helm's Deep, she does not Will come to the set after Sean leaves.

    As for Jordana, after the filming of "The Invisible Trick", she began to rest again. She went back to New York from time to time, and occasionally made a cameo as a model or something. She still has no specific arrangements for her future. But because of this movie and the last time, I became good friends with Camilla. The little girl often went to her house to play, so when I met her on the phone with him, I always came to plug in a couple of times. sentence.

    "Hey, you agreed last time, as long as my parents agree, I can come to play with you. If you don't invite me over, I will sue you for fraud!" Pulling on the phone giggling and clamoring, it was really a headache.

    In addition, Frederick said on the phone that he had two good script recommendations, and sent some of the content by email. Unfortunately, Sean has no interest for the time being, and his intuition has no response. .

      , and only persisted for a month before venting again. The bubble burst is a sure thing, many IT companies have gone bankrupt, and investors have been shunned.

    But Neil's view is the opposite. He believes that this disaster will instead highlight those IT stocks that have real potential and can withstand risks. They can absorb at low prices, and then Sell ​​after the disaster has passed. Of course, this is only the lowest level method, and he also needs to have that vision, select high-quality stocks among them, and buy them when the value of these stocks is seriously undervalued due to market reasons. At the same time, he will think so, and there must be people think.

    In fact, don't worry about it, Neil really picked out several suitable stocks, such as Omnicell's smart medicine cabinet system, as long as major hospitals are still using this system, they will not Sad about no income. Or Amazon, their corporate development strategy is very cautious. When other IT companies are expanding their business through bubbles, they are steadily advancing step by step, and they are not confused by those dazzling data. They barely affect anything.

    But Sean also took a look at the matter. He has limited funds, and until he has more income, unless it is a company that is worth fighting for, there is no need for it. Although as the person in charge of the investment company, Neil did not plan to hold it for a long time, but the occupation of the capital rate is still beyond the warning line, so he still does not participate, and let him attract customers by himself.

     Neil's side is okay, the production company in charge of Vladimir is worrying, this middle-aged man of Russian descent has some abilities, just half a month In time, the basic framework has been set up, and the heads of the three departments of personnel, finance and production are all available, and it is only necessary to further fill in the manpower. At the same time, he also began to look for scripts for the company's first production, and at Sean's request, emailed them all to him.

    But the problem is that the three main departments, the others all recruit experienced but moderately capable people, except the accountant who is the chief financial officer, but from KPMG's Los Angeles accounting firm, to The annual salary of 200,000 was dug up! Damn it, you must know that although Sean gave Vladimir 10% of his dry shares, his annual salary was only 200,000. To dig up an accountant at the same price, it was too…

    “A production company wants to have a foothold in Hollywood, even to maintain vitality and profitability, in addition to production, finance is also very important. Now we can’t make much progress in production, after all That needs to be accumulated, so financially we can't neglect it," Vladimir said.

    Well, an excellent accountant can make $500,000 a year, and even become a partner in an accounting firm, but the problem is that they are now a production Does the company need an accountant with an annual salary of 200,000 to be the financial director? In that case, he would have to continue investing in less than a year.

    But Sean didn't say much about it. Since before hiring Vladimir, he had already said that he would be in charge of the production company, and it was impossible to go back in less than a month.

    "Hopefully we can find a good script and make a fortune." Shawn muttered, opening the notebook and calling up the email.

    Unfortunately, after spending an hour browsing the three scripts sent, Sean was very disappointed, two school comedies, one **** horror, the plots are very old-fashioned, and they are not interesting . Although these two scripts can make money if they are filmed, they cannot attract audiences without enough novelty, and there are too many low-cost movies on these two themes, making it difficult to break through.

    More importantly, his intuition did not respond. It's not that Sean relies too much on his intuition, but when the production company is just taking root, it is necessary to be cautious.

    "Maybe... we can remake those old classic horror movies into new ones?" Shawn squeezed his chin and suddenly came up with such an idea.

    This is indeed feasible. First, these classic horror films are well-known works, which can always attract curious audiences who have never seen but heard the name; It must be better than now, and this can attract a group of audiences; next, nostalgic middle-aged people, young people with girlfriends who specially choose horror movies, are potential audiences, and a small amount of money should not be worth it. question.

    So... Sean gave up this idea, it was a daydream, he now has enough money to buy the copyright of the remake, let alone make it. At this moment, he suddenly understood why most of the star production companies are just empty shells. If you want to run a company well, how can you do it without spending energy.

    "Forget it, let Todd consider it." He sighed.

    Although Sean is very clear, Vladimirken, who has such experience, agreed to be the general manager of his small company, in addition to feeling a little interesting, more importantly, he wanted to use it as a springboard , announcing his return to Hollywood, so I'm afraid he won't stay in this position for too long.

    However, he must make a movie that can at least be seen, otherwise, how can he express himself and tell everyone that he is still capable?

    Close the laptop and put it back in the box, look at my messy bed, and look at Sanders' equally bad bed - due to the limited budget and only a supporting role, there is no suite this time, He also shared a room with his assistant.

    Sean decided to go out for a walk, thinking that Los Angeles has entered summer, and he is enjoying autumn, this contrast is also very interesting, isn't it?

    Leave a tip at the head of the bed, hang a cleaning sign, and walk towards the elevator. As soon as he turned a corner, he couldn't help being stunned, because a tall and slender woman in a trench coat was walking inside, and the face with sunglasses turned around, and then she took a step back in surprise, followed by He quickly reached out to press the button in the elevator, and the two doors closed in the middle.

    At that moment, Sean rushed up with a stride, slammed the elevator's closing door regardless, and then stared at the woman and took a few steps inside.

    The woman stepped back, her chest undulating slightly, even with sunglasses blocking her, she could still feel the anger and panic in the eyes behind her.

    "Kate..." Sean cried, but didn't know what to say.

    He has tried his best to talk to Kate alone these days, but she takes her assistant with her wherever she goes. Even if the assistant leaves, there will be other people in the cast around her, and she is completely inaccessible . Now, with great difficulty and chance, she was the only one in the elevator, but he forgot how to start.

    Cate Blanchett finally reacted, and was about to run out of the elevator, but unfortunately she was a step behind, the door closed just in front of her, then sank and started running. She immediately leaned into the corner and made a defensive gesture, as if she would make violent movements as long as Sean passed by.

    Sean didn't speak, just stared at her while the elevator was sinking, and after a long time, he sighed softly: "You know, I like you, Kate. "
