The Goddess Shines on America

After walking into the DreamWorks headquarters from the back door, Alice and Mai walked directly to the elevator, and quickly reached the chairman's office on the top of the company. In the process, I didn't see anyone, after all, I bypassed the front desk.

When Alice just walked to the door, she heard David Fincher's laughter: "Oh yeah!? I'm really looking forward to it, Mr. Lawrence, I must..."

"What are you talking about, it's so lively."

Alice pushed the door directly in, and saw Lawrence and David Fincher sitting face to face on the reception sofa. Obviously they were talking about something. David was even more excited.

"Oh, Alice, Mai Mi, you are here."

Lawrence looked up and saw the visitor, he was happy at first, and then smiled mysteriously: "It seems that you have seen the look at the door? How do you feel? What do you think?"

Alice smiled bitterly: "Hehe... it's spectacular, it's completely different from a normal press conference."

Wu Mi kept shook his head and asked after sitting on the sofa, "You sent Sabastien to appease the reporters? I remember, he seems not good at words, right?"

"No matter what we say, do, or do, reporters will write as they please, so just fool around."

Lawrence made a big move and poured a cup of tea for Alice and Mai Mi: "It's you, Alice, but this is the second movie that didn't show up at the premiere. Among the screenwriters in the entire industry, you are very special. It’s rare to be alone."

Alice chuckled and took the tea: "It's really busy during this time. It will take at least half a day to attend the premiere. It will be enough for me to write another script~"

Someone’s work efficiency is really well-known. After such a long time, Lawrence didn’t know how long it took this friend of his daughter’s to compile a Windows system program? The so-called every minute is tens of millions, this sentence is really appropriate for her.

"In addition, the box office results are indeed what you expected."

Lawrence got up and fetched a document from his desk, and Alice reached out and took it: "During the promotion process, it is important to inform that this is your script, so the first day's box office is so much higher than that of the same period of time. However, since it is essentially a literary film after all, in the next few days, you see, the data will go down soon."

Alice looked at the box office results of "Brain Cell Invasion" very plainly: "According to this result, after the end of the waiting period, our box office should be able to reach about 40 million yuan. Considering the plot of the murderer in it, As a commercial film, the results are average, but for the literary film, it is already super hot."

Lawrence nodded and said: "The director is a newcomer, and the actors are all second and third line, so the cost of shooting is also very low. But Alice...are you a little...too calm?"

"calm?"

Alice shook the document and raised her eyebrows and said, "That's 40 million yuan, and this is the total box office, plus the promotional expenses, and the final net profit is estimated to be 5 million yuan. It's not a big number. What... okay okay, I know I can’t compare "Ghost Record" to it..."

Seeing Lawrence's speechless expression, Alice said that she didn't mean it. After all, hot movies in the 21st century often cost hundreds of millions of box office. A 40 million film is not a representative work of a well-known movie star, and it does not evoke Alice's excitement at all.

However, compared to the results of the same period in the 1980s, the estimated box office of 40 million is really not low... as a literary film.

After that, there was a random chat, and by the way, I also talked about the issue of capital investment. Lawrence certainly welcomes this. After all, when he first founded DreamWorks the year before, his entire startup capital was barely ten million. After this period of development, although the scale has expanded a lot, it is still far behind the dividends after Microsoft's listing.

Since Alice and Miya had already had "morning meal" before leaving for the forest hut, they couldn't help feeling hungry as they watched as the time was approaching four o'clock in the afternoon.

"That's it, Uncle Roger, the first funds will probably arrive on the fifth day of listing. I personally estimate that the first batch of dividends will not be less than 5 million, which will definitely make the company at least double the size of it. ."

As she said, Alice got up and said, "Let's go Mai Mi, let's find a Burger King nearby. Damn, I'm really starving to death."

"Wait."

Lawrence suddenly raised his hand again: "While talking, I almost forgot to tell you something very important."

Calling the two, Lawrence got up quickly and took out a letter from the desk drawer.

"You just talked to David before entering the house. There will be a Hollywood industry gathering on February 24. It will be hosted by Johnny Swan, chairman of Universal Pictures, the boss and executives of several major film companies, and Many star actors, directors, and screenwriters will appear. Alice, this is an invitation for you."

"My...invitation card!?"

This really surprised Alice. She took the envelope, and it did read "Alice-Miss Wang Accepted", and it was covered with an ink pad with Universal Pictures' LOGO.

"And it's so exquisite!?"

Lawrence laughed and said: "Although Mr. Swann has been a British immigrant for four generations, his family has always strictly adhered to the traditional British life. You will know that when you see him, I can't even learn that Oxford accent."

Wu Mi suddenly chuckled.

Lawrence asked in surprise, "Is there anything funny?"

Wu Mi smiled again: "Mr. Lawrence, that's all else. The French doctrine of Oxford accent is really weird to me."

"Uh, cough!"

Lawrence hurriedly coughed, but he didn't really need a London accent or an Oxford accent. His accent nowadays is messy. The New York accent, which is changing to a southern accent, is obviously French. Most people really can't learn it if they want to.

In this way, after visiting DreamWorks and dealing with related matters, Alice and Maiya had a bite of Burger King near the company and then parted ways. Someone is going to Santa Monica in a Hummer, and Alice is going straight back home.

As the sun sets, when the taxi slowly stops in front of Room 15 on Vinton Street, it is time for dinner.

"Yeah~ the taste of creamy mushroom soup."

As soon as I got out of the car, Alice asked a familiar smell: "Yes, it's mother's smell~"

"Hey, old sister!"

At this moment, a more familiar voice suddenly appeared not far away: "Help me~"

"Woo~!"

Alice turned her head immediately, her face stunned.

I saw Oscar in the depths of Vinton Street...Well, he was obviously taking Caesar for a walk, but after seeing Alice arrived home, Caesar was like a wild horse that had taken off his rein and screamed and ran towards Room 7. come. Poor Oscar, a big boy who couldn't hold the strength of a one and a half year old orangutan, was dragged and ran!

"Wow, great job Caesar!"

Alice immediately smirked and smiled: "That's it! Hurry up and get Oscar down~!"

"Alice, I didn't play with you!"

In less than ten seconds before and after, Caesar happily ran to Alice, standing on both legs, and it excitedly grabbed Alice's arm with both hands, and kept groaning.

"God... I'm exhausted..."

Behind him, Oscar seemed to have just been salvaged from the sea, soaked with sweat all over his thin sweater.

"Hurry up and take a shower, silly boy."

Alice patted her brother's shoulder affectionately: "It's rare to see that you are interested in taking Caesar for a walk. Are you two good buddies?"

Oscar was panting with exhaustion, but he didn't have time to answer questions. However, Caesar seemed to understand it, maybe he had to learn something, and reached out to put his hand on Oscar's shoulder.

Then he grinned unexpectedly~!

"Woo~"

"Wow, what are you doing?"

At this time, the door of the house opened, and Hannah, wearing a thick fur skirt, walked out of the house: "Why is Oscar so tired?"

Alice chuckled and walked to her sister: "It's nothing, your brother just did some sports that can communicate with Caesar~"

As she said, she opened the small purse and swiped it, but she took out the invitation card: "Dangdang~ Hannah, guess this is a magic horse?"

Hannah shrugged and smiled playfully: "Did someone write you a love letter?"

Alice did not immediately answer ~www.readwn.com~ but opened the envelope first. After looking at the contents of the letter, she said, "Well, maybe it was really written by a girl..."

"To Alice:"

It starts with the title of the song just right, and the content of the article is as follows: "We are honored to inform you that the Hollywood industry gathering on the main board of Universal Pictures will be held on the 12th floor of the Empire Hotel at 8pm on February 24. Ben There will be many celebrities in the industry attending the gathering, and it will be a great opportunity for you to meet people in the industry..."

This is the general content. It is worth noting that the font of the letter article is very graceful and beautiful, and it is actually a rare swash character. At first glance, it is known that it is written by everyone.

Moreover, Alice can see that this letter may not be a complete standard invitation letter, because the brilliant application of the sentence and grammar of the other party is completely mastered by the top students of the prestigious university in the UK.

"The fourth generation of immigrants, but have they maintained a traditional British life?"

The answer seems very obvious. Seeing Hannah's curious look, Alice smiled very satisfied: "It seems that I have to go to this party~" (To be continued.)
