Fire in July, clothing in September.
If according to the book of songs, the weather in August has gradually turned cool, summer has gone to autumn, and the hot summer has finally come to the end; But New York in August is still shrouded in a restless heat——
Can not hear cicadas, only engine roar; There is no jungle, only a sea of people; I can't feel the heat wave, only a lot of traffic... However, the heat and boredom of the mood are rolling in the sweat.
People come and go, with the city's unique manic depression on the glossy faces. The footsteps of passing by in a hurry raise a piece of dust, like a breeze swinging under the golden sun; The shadows projected on the ground are long and closely overlapped, as if the haze over the city is invisible but exists.
At this moment, how many people can really calm down and enjoy a cup of coffee in the open-air cafe by the side of the road? Some people may say, rich people; But the fact is that the rich will choose to sit in the air-conditioned room to relax themselves, and the talents with style may sit in the open-air caf é room so gracefully.
Most of the time, the customs and etiquette of nobles are indeed a kind of "disease", which is not a problem to describe, but this kind of "disease" is exactly their last insistence. Calm nature cool, this will and perseverance is the ability to distinguish them from "ordinary people", gradually become a part of them used to.
Andre Hamilton pretends to be thinking, but his eyes are quietly looking at the opposite blue Li.
Lanli is slowly tasting the coffee in his hand. The hot coffee is steaming hot. But lanli is like tasting a cup of hot tea in the cold winter. His face is full of contented leisure and contentment. Although there is a little sweat on his forehead, he doesn't fall into the dilemma of sweating. He is happy and contented, It's like the heat of summer is gone.
Andre insisted and insisted again, but after all, he still couldn't help losing the battle, "I'm going in." Instead of asking for lenley's consent, the final decision was announced.
After that, Andre doesn't pay any attention to Lan Li. He opens his rattan chair and goes into the interior of the cafe to seek the cool and comfortable air-conditioned room; However, Lan Li is still in a leisurely mood. He brings in the waiters, saying that they will move indoors, and then enters the air-conditioned room.
Andre, sitting on the wooden bench, frowned inconceivably as he slowly sat down opposite him. "Dear God, now I can be sure that you are a hall."
"You mean, crazy or perverted?" Langley said with a smile, "you should know that I'm not qualified, just reaching the baseline. Alexandria is the real etiquette, who is like you
Alexander Hamilton, the eldest brother of Andrey, is also the successor of the next Duke of Hamilton. His manners and manners are impeccable; Andre is the youngest of the family, and the situation is different.
The two elder brothers and their parents connived at him very much. Andre almost grew up herding sheep. There was no problem with the basic etiquette, but it was always easy to make mistakes at the critical moment. It was just like this, and his cultivation was still not at home. However, because the family did not mind, Andre naturally did not mind.
Andre spread out his hands, had long been used to such remarks, complacent smile. This is the real pride of heaven, there is no need to show off, there is no need to pretend, everything is hidden in the bones, born.
But then, Andre's smile broke down, because he could see that Langley relaxed again, without any worry or anxiety, which made Andre realize that all his disguises had been seen through, "so, don't you worry at all?"
"Can my concerns affect the outcome?" Lan Li asked.
Andre grinds his teeth. "You know, you can."
"So I'm starting to worry now." Lan Li said.
Andre rolled a big white eye and tried to explain a few more words, but he was defeated after all. It seems that from the first time they met, he never had the upper hand in front of lenley. "Why are you always the boss and we always follow?" Andre could not help complaining.
"Because you want to believe me." Lenley replied with a smile.
Andre couldn't help saying.
Such an answer, not only people can not refute, but also hidden among the moving is surging in silence. Lanli is always like this. Even though he knows he is joking or joking, he has a special temperament, which makes people calm down and willing to believe that he has been around him before he realizes it.
With a silent smile, Andre shook his head slightly and returned to the main point of the matter. "To be honest, you should know that as long as it's your recommended work and you're willing to be a producer, I'm willing to invest. Now you're the only one I can trust in Hollywood. So, there's no doubt that I'm willing to invest. "
"Andre, business is business, friends are friends. You create a production company, obviously not for word-of-mouth, but for profit. You should judge calmly. " Langley looked at Andre and said, "of course, I hope you can invest in the works I recommend, but you are more important than a film project. It's not easy to get to know a few worthy friends now. "
At this point, the waiter brought in two people's coffee.
Lanli smiles at the waiter and thanks him. Then he picks up the coffee cup again and savors it carefully.
Andre was stunned and laughed, and he could not help but start to make complaints about it. "This is not working for me. You've got to move the way you did with Eaton, haven't you? It's lazy. "
But Lan Li didn't say yes.
Andre stops again, and finally shakes his head in dismay. "Let's go back to work. How much do you think it is appropriate to control the investment cost of this work?"
Today, Langley and Andre meet for the "Night Walker" project.
After Lan Li briefly elaborated the framework and basic content of the whole project, Andre put on a thoughtful posture. Originally, he wanted to deliberately hang Lan Li's appetite, looking forward to seeing Lan Li's further efforts to lobby him. After all, such an opportunity is really rare.
But did not expect, Lan Li is calm, calm.
So, the above scene happened, after all, Andre was not able to calm down.
In the face of Andre's final "surrender", although this is the expected result of blue Li, he also expected, but Andre's so straightforward reaction, or let blue Li gently raised eyebrows——
Dan Gilroy is not Damien chazere. Although Gilroy has no experience in directing and is not a top screenwriter, he has a lot of contacts and resources in the industry; However, "Night Walker" has not been able to find investors until now. There are objective reasons.
Now, Andre didn't have any hesitation, just because of lanli, he nodded. Lanli's feeling is different after all.
However, there's no need for lenley and Andre to be polite to each other. It's the same with "one person's concert" at the beginning, and it's the same with "pop drummer" before.
As a result, Lan Li gently jaw head, no polite directly said his idea, "specific, I'm not sure, or depends on the director for the whole project planning, but this project is certainly more magnificent than the 'pop drummer', the cast, shooting site and shooting props, etc., are all larger."
"I estimated that it would take five million, up to ten million. If you want to, you can find a producer you are familiar with and evaluate it in detail. " Lan Li said summarily that this aspect is not his strong point after all, and the opinions he can give are really limited.
Five million to ten million, which is not a small number for an independent film. But Andre didn't frown. These numbers are just a series of numbers for him. They don't have much practical significance. "Do you think if I ask Matthew to help me calculate some numbers, he is good at it?"
"Matthew?" Lan Li thought seriously, "you can have a try. He is very good at numbers. However, Matthew still knows little about Hollywood's capital operation. If you can, you should find an accountant who is familiar with the industry, and then meet Matthew to have a detailed chat, and your ideas will be much clearer. "
"I see." Because "pop drummer" hasn't been shown yet, Andre can't make a horizontal comparison himself, so he needs more professional advice now, "if you are looking for Matthew, you still need to tell him that Matthew's bad temper is not paid by anyone except you. I promise I won't disturb his working hours. "
"Ha, I refuse. If I disturb Matthew's pace of work, I'll be disciplined, too. " Lanli burst into laughter.
Andre looked at Langley speechless and said, "I don't care. I said, this is your project. You have to be a producer, or I'll never take over. "
"What won't you take over?" During the conversation, the waiter led a figure to come over again. Without any pause and estrangement, the comer directly cut into the conversation. With such "impolite" behavior, lanli and Andre didn't care or even look up. Then the familiar Eaton domer had already taken a seat.
"Why did you call him here? Is he sure he's not late? " Andre Tucao to make complaints about it.
"No, I deliberately delayed him for half an hour. I think half an hour may be enough to take care of you. " Lan Li said with a smile.
Andre's head is black.
After ordering coffee, Eaton joined the conversation seamlessly, "what half an hour is enough?"
"Half an hour is enough to take care of you," said Langley Said Andre, turning his head and gloating.
But Eaton didn't mind. "Half an hour? No, one minute is enough. "
