Roman didn't stay too long at the reception. He just stayed for about 25 minutes. He had a brief conversation with Matthew, Andre and Alexander. He also said hello to the Beckhams and several friends. Then he turned and left.
There is no doubt that Roman is the smartest and most cunning one among the many big men Langley has fought with up to now. His strength is different from that of Bob egger, the chief executive of Disney. This is the wisdom and tact that businessmen have developed through hard work. He is always calculating and pulling, which is quite different from Bob's calm atmosphere and strategy of orthodox origin.
When lanli and Bob confront each other, they are just like playing chess. Even if they win or lose each other, they can't see the edge. All of them are hidden under the water; However, when lanli and Roman fought each other, they fought hand in hand and saw red bayonets. Instead of playing games, they were better than playing games. The step-by-step calculation runs through the whole process, and traps are everywhere. This is a new experience.
Langley, literally, should prefer to fight Bob, but on the contrary, he prefers Roman. Because Bob is too rational and calm, there is no room for maneuver in his formula. He is the kind of person who takes the overall situation into consideration and does not hesitate to sacrifice the interests of a small group; Roman is more emotional and more emotional. His hands are covered with blood, but he is still willing to compromise for some "human emotions". If he is completely cold-blooded, it is because he is not moved.
Of course, with Bob, with Roman, Langley has so far been shallow and deep, all the judgments are from personal feelings pieced together, far from understanding, judgment will not be completely accurate - but Langley is not interested in further understanding, because in the face of such a big man, knowing more does not mean good.
So, should Langley cooperate with Roman?
"We need financial support, and Roman has the capital chain, at the same time, he is not a consortium, has enough mobility, this is the perfect choice."
"But do you realize that he is a very controlling businessman? At Chelsea, no one can go against his decision! No one
After the auction and the reception, Lan Li and his party finally returned home, which allowed them to have a little rest, but rest does not mean relaxation.
About Roman, about cooperation... This is undoubtedly the core focus today. How should they choose and deal with Roman? More importantly, how should they look at this matter? This is a turning point for the development of Sisyphus film.
"Roman Abramovich", the name in the upper class, has been very important; On the shopping mall, it's even more important. Even at the blue rite level, we must pay attention to it. The level status is totally different from the cooperation agreement between Disney and Warner Brothers.
Matthew and Andre had a fierce quarrel, while Eaton and Langley watched.
"But he is also willing to believe in the profession! Film is not his major. He's happy to leave it to us. "
"Here's the problem. He is a person who is used to taking the initiative and may be free in the early stage. But when he feels that he has enough understanding, do you think he will continue to stand by? Chelsea is the best case, two or three years a reincarnation, his patience is very limited. If he interferes, do you think we can fight him? Once his capital becomes our biggest dependence, we can't get rid of it. "
"But he is the perfect source of funds! His generosity, his sagacity, his persistence, and most importantly, he will not let go as long as he recognizes the investment. It has been ten years since Chelsea, he is still willing to invest, generous and stable, which is his biggest advantage
"Then, are you consistent with the source of his wealth? Is it clean? Or does he need to get rid of suspicion through Sisyphus pictures? "
"It's been 20 years. His assets have been confirmed, haven't they?"
"Have you heard that the British authorities are preparing to investigate the source of his assets? time and again! This also led him to say that he wanted to leave the UK for a time. Now those doubts still exist. Is it possible that he just wanted to use Langley? He's not just a Hollywood actor. "
"These are all exchange of interests. You know, and I know, don't use those official words to prevaricate. If they are willing to keep Roman, it is not because his assets are legal, but because they can bring benefits to Britain and themselves; They decided to thoroughly investigate Roman's assets, not because his assets are illegal, but because he has no use value, or because Britain and Russia have reached an agreement to get more benefit exchange. It's not that simple, but it's that complicated, Matthew. You should know that
"Yes, I know that, and that's why I think it's a bad idea: do you know what it's called? It's called dancing with wolves. You don't want to dance with Roman. You think you can control him, but he's a character that you and I can't match. He didn't come to this day by luck. "
"Note that if he really wants to go legal, then he can't break the balance rashly. What's more, we have lanli. Let lanli deal with Roman! They can form a balance and give money and inspiration at the same time. Isn't this a perfect cooperation plan? "
"Andre, that's my point. Langley should not be the representative of Sisyphus! He's an actor, and he should be just an actor. Don't throw Sisyphus's burden on Langley. You're destroying him, understand? Let him focus on the performance, and then choose a partner we can deal with to work with. "
"The people we can deal with can't give us enough support! And the objects that can provide enough support are beyond our control! It's not easy to meet a person who barely meets the conditions, but you refuse to let us close. Isn't the expansion of Sisyphus pictures the idea of Langley? Why should he be excluded? We need Roman, we need his money, he's the last piece in the puzzle! Matthew, you should let Langley grow up. He shouldn't stay in the ivory tower any longer. He thinks so, or he won't come back to London. "
The whole living room is full of quarrels between Matthew and Andre. Matthew thinks that he should refuse Roman, which is a conspiracy; Andre thinks that Roman should be accepted. This is a great opportunity. Neither of them can convince the other. The focus and point of view are constantly changing in the dispute, and they are always in a stalemate.
The evening in London is still full of haze. The drizzle is falling slowly along the transparent glass, reflecting a strange world. The noise and noise are blocked out, making people want to curl up lazily on the sofa, hold a cup of coffee, read a magazine or play Sudoku, To pass the boring time and spend the whole afternoon doing nothing.
Especially after an auction in the morning, a cocktail party in the afternoon and a trip to the gallery after tea in the afternoon, we need to relax more.
Unfortunately, there are so many things happening today that it is very difficult to enjoy a moment of peace.
Eaton, with his black tea in hand, looked at Matthew and Andre in consternation and panic. He was a little at a loss. Then he leaned carefully towards lenley, "lenley? Aren't you going to interrupt them? "
"Well?" Langley raised his voice, but his eyes still stayed on the times's crossword game of today, "eggs living in Tasmania?"
Langley's attention was very focused. The noise around seemed to have no effect at all. Then Andre realized that he seemed to have said something wrong. "Langley, I didn't mean that. Sorry, I just said... Ah! I mean, you chose to expand Sisyphus pictures. You can't just let it go. Romance didn't recognize me or Arthur's name. Even Alexander, they are just standard friends. We need you, Matthew... Matthew is really... Sorry, Matthew, I didn't mean anything to you. "
"If the second letter is' l '... Platypus?" Lanli murmured.
Andre's words directly stuck in the throat, and then finally did not resist, jumping to roar, "blue Li!"
"What?" At last, Langley's thoughts were interrupted and he looked up at Andre and Matthew.
Andre also did not know how to face such a situation, so that some helpless; Matthew was also slightly stunned, and then he understood that lanli was not worried at all. Obviously, lanli had made a decision, so their dispute was unnecessary.
Then Andre could see that Matthew sat down beside him, looking relaxed. He was just dumbfounded. "Matthew?"
"Give me a moment and I'll finish this." Without waiting for Andre's "answer", Langley bowed his head again and looked at the newspaper in his hand.
Because it was so absurd and helpless, Andre could not help laughing. He went to the side and sat down heavily. "Langley Sebastian hall, can you show some respect? I don't like it. I don't think you respect my efforts! "
Langley finally put the paper down. "Andre, I'm sorry." Without any hesitation, Langley apologized, but Andre didn't buy it at all.
Lan Li couldn't help laughing. He found a piece of chocolate from the refreshments on the coffee table and called out, "Andre?" Then he threw the chocolate over.
Reflexively, Andre raised his hand to catch the chocolate, spread out his palm and glanced at it. He was angry and funny. "Lenley, I'm not ten years old, OK?"
"Who rules that only ten year olds like sweets? What do you want Eaton to do? " Lan Li said solemnly.
Eaton blinked and looked innocent. "What's the matter with me again? I haven't had sweets for a long time He secretly sat back, far away from the coffee table - there seemed to be some cake crumbs beside the teacup in front of him, should no one find it?
