Andre Hamilton is different from Langley hall and other friends. From childhood to adulthood, he is used to being spoiled and raised. The standard definition of "dandy" is to describe him, and even to describe him as overbearing. As long as his desire is never defeated, even Arthur hall is far from comparable, Hamilton is a hereditary Duke, and Andrey inherited Dalmore winery early.
Andre is the real prince.
In Andrey's life, the object of real admiration can be counted with only one hand. Alexander Hamilton, who is about to inherit the 16th Duke of Hamilton, is his eldest brother; And blue is another one——
It's not just the pranks of Eton school, it's not just lanli's obsession with his dreams and beliefs, but also lanli's vision and insight. It's like he's gone through the vicissitudes of the world, which is the peak he can never catch up with. Even Alexander stood in front of Langley.
So far, what lenley hopes to accomplish has never failed. never.
When Langley finally decides to make a big show in Hollywood, Andre can't help but start rubbing his hands. Sisyphus film is finally ready to set sail.
Andre raised the whisky in his hand, his narrow eyes were shining with a faint light, and a sharp and sharp sharp look was gliding between his eyebrows. Different from lanli's gentle and smooth, Andre's overbearing power revealed the pride of all kinds of love. Hamilton's youngest son, in the territory of the British Isles, never bowed to anyone; Now, the Duke's beloved son is about to officially march into Hollywood.
"I've kept my promise. What about you?"
Andre raised his eyebrows, and his energetic and wanton appearance unconsciously showed a condescending posture. No matter who was standing in front of him, even the top figures of the pyramid who were a higher level than Tom Bernard could still feel the powerful momentum.
Just like when Chris Evans appeared in front of lenley hall and Matthew Dunlop, it was a look down from the class gap. Deep into the marrow of the gap.
The ancients used to say that they were right. Although in modern society, class is being broken, the old idea of "being equal to each other" is considered decadent and backward; But for the real scholarly families and hereditary nobles, the so-called "right family" still has universal significance. It does not specifically refer to money or property, but refers to the details of culture, upbringing, etiquette, three outlooks and so on. The essential differences from the inside out can never be removed.
Now Tom Bernard clearly feels the gap. He feels offended, but he can't resist - or he doesn't want to, because Andre's level is exactly the height he wants to reach, and also the embodiment of his power as a person. He understands Andre's meaning. Sisyphus's private equity fund is ready and ready to go. Now it depends on Sony's classic attitude.
"What's the first number?" Tom just blurted out that he regretted it, because the question was too straightforward and simple, just showing his timidity.
Andre's eyebrows gently picked, and there was a touch of banter in his eyes. Just one look embarrassed Tom, but fortunately, Andre didn't continue to make trouble for Tom. Instead, he gave the answer, "nine figures. About three parts of gravity. "
That's three hundred million dollars.
Thomas Toure started with 50 million, and now Andre starts with 300 million.
The further difference is that Toure tried his best to win a start; Andre just used his name to easily achieve the goal, the starting line gap is too big; In addition, it took two years for tour to prepare, and only two weeks for Andre.
Tom's temples were beating faintly. For a film production company like legend pictures or Sisyphus pictures, which is based on private equity, we should not only look at the first fund, but also use it to spy on the credit and appeal of the founder.
What's more, the investment of each work is not paid in full by Sisyphus pictures, and the cooperative company also needs to bear 30% to 60% of the cost. This is the case with legendary pictures, Warner Bros. and Universal Pictures. Now Sisyphus pictures is looking for the same partner.
It also means that Andre's $300 million can generate at least $400 million to $600 million in energy.
Even a big man of Tom's rank is a bit thirsty: if this news gets out, how many big waves will Hollywood create?
If you look at the legendary film industry, you can see that Thomas tour left Warner Bros. on the front foot, and received olive branch from at least three top film studios on the back foot. The more top film studios are, the more liquidity they have on their books. Even a wealthy giant like Warner Bros. will never give up having more flexible capital.
On the other hand, why can Thomas Toure have such a strong right to speak big, to compete with Kevin tohara and Lang Meyer?
Tom can be sure that once Andre gives the wind, the whole Hollywood will be reshuffled. Universal pictures may change its position immediately, and Disney and Warner Brothers will never let go; And now
"I've kept my promise. What about you?"
Tom's ear echoed Andre's meaningful words again. The subtext is that now it's Sony classic's turn to show its sincerity; The problem is that with such a heavy cooperation, Tom can make a decision on the spot, but he still hopes that Sony Columbia Pictures can take part in it. Otherwise, it's absolutely too wasteful to just rely on Sony classics to make independent art films.
It would be bad if Sony Columbia missed the opportunity and was overtaken by other competitors.
Tom's reaction was only a little slow, and Andre had understood it - as if he could see through Tom's inner thoughts at a glance, and there was a light of banter in his eyes again.
A friend who really knows Langley knows that he will never fight unprepared battles - just look at the preparations he makes for his performance in the crew; Once he gets serious, the war really begins.
Andre's part is just the first wave of Sisyphus film. Arthur hall and Eaton domer are still in London. Even Matthew Dunlop has used his own contacts, which has shocked Henry Dunlop. Henry also specially calls Andre to inquire about the specific situation.
Andre is a little curious. If Hollywood bigwigs know the whole blueprint of Langley, how will they react? But when you think about it, the conclusion is so simple that Andre gets bored again.
"You have 48 hours to think about it." Andre didn't wait for Tom's answer. He finished off cleanly. Then he gave Tom a big smile, nodded and left.
Tom's steps stopped at the same place, a little congested. He always feels that something big is about to happen, but now he is in the middle of it. He can't look down on the whole situation, but can only catch some details. He can clearly feel something is wrong, but can't say why. This feeling is really mixed, some anxious, some expecting and some uneasy.
He needs to make a few phone calls.
……
The pace of the Golden Globe Awards ceremony is gradually approaching, the upsurge of the awards season is gradually reaching its peak, the whole Hollywood is surging, and the major film companies are working together to speed up the final stage of the sprint towards the Oscars - the nomination list is about to be announced.
However, hidden behind this turbulent tide, another undercurrent is quietly emerging, which is mixed with the news of the public relations of the college. Some people can catch some clues sensitively, while more people want to think that "it's just the essay of the public relations of the college".
In any era and any society, information is a vital source of power, just as those closed mountainous areas are bound to lag behind the development of the times. Even Hollywood is no exception.
Warner Brothers knows, Disney knows, Sony Columbia knows, but universal is kept in the dark. As for Fox and paramount in the 20th century, they are still struggling. No one cares if they know.
Steven Spielberg, Harvey Weinstein, Jerry brookheimer and other top leaders in the industry all smell the wind of the coming rain. They can vaguely feel the flow of abnormal breath among top directors, top producers and top actors, but they are all taboo.
This is true in chess games. Some people can only see one or three steps, while others can see ten or even fifteen steps. If they can't see it, they can't even see it. Even if someone helps explain it, they can't see it. As for the confrontation of those experts, it depends on their computing ability and layout ability.
Thomas Toure can detect the abnormality vaguely, but no one is willing to tell him; Van diesel didn't notice anything unusual. He was still thinking about how to seize the opportunity to expand his contacts when he attended the Golden Globes award, and create more positive reputation for himself by taking advantage of the opportunity that Paul Walker was still in bed.
Andy Rogers is now busier than ever. He has no feet on the ground. Not to mention the top agents of the innovative artists agency, even Roy rockery has come to help. He flies around the major cities in the whole North American continent and completes the layout with Sisyphus film as the center.
It's a huge battle. It seems that there is no room for breathing and escape at all.
