Chapter 691： London, England

Downtown Los Angeles, 18th Street.

As night fell, Finch stood in the open-air area on the second floor of a cafe, looking at the Mexican restaurant diagonally opposite, watching the people coming in and out at the door.

Someone came to the side and said, "I just confirmed that they are still inside."

Vinci looked at the sky, then glanced at his watch, and exhorted: "It's getting late. It's not safe to let everyone in the alley get out."

The man immediately took out his cell phone and started making calls.

Even with well-trained security personnel like Vinci, downtown Los Angeles at night is still a dangerous area.

This city is called the City of Angels and the City of Sin.

There are totally two faces in the city center during the day and night.

To be precise, the City of Angels is a very suitable name for the rich areas from the urban area to the coastline, while the old downtown is a veritable sin city.

Vinci, who grew up in Los Angeles, knows that there is a joke to describe this city: it is the same whether you close the door in a good security area, and it is the same if you close it or not in a poor security area.

Vinci made people withdraw temporarily, on the one hand for security reasons, on the other hand he did not want to conflict with gang members.

They are not necessarily afraid of those gang members, but the two sides are not at the same level at all, and there is no need to deal with them. The boss's job is the most important.

The restaurant door opened, and the target came out. In addition to the retired editor of the entertainment gossip newspaper, there were also young men with the most common flaxen hair.

This person looks very ordinary and looks less than thirty years old.

Just like when they entered the restaurant, someone next to Vinci immediately took pictures with a high-power lens.

Vinci leads a mature team, he also has confidence in this team, from the support of a certain super-rich, so that they can not only get a high salary and receive the best training, but also some of the best in the United States and the world equipment.

Following the super-rich from low to high, Vinci fully realized that after having enough money in this country, money can really do too much.

The retired newspaper editor and the ordinary middle-aged man got into two cars separately and left the restaurant.

Someone followed the retired newspaper editor home from a distance, and Fincher and others rode in several cars and kept secretly watching ordinary middle-aged men enter the hotel.

The people who were left continued to stare here, and the others evacuated one after another.

On the way back, Vinci received a call and went to Hollywood to pick up another companion.

The man got in the car, the car started, and Finch asked, "How's the investigation?"

"There is a result." The man said: "I found out that the other party came from London the day before yesterday and was on the plane at Heathrow Airport."

This answer was beyond Vinci's expectation: "Britain? London?"

The man said: "Yes, London, England. According to my understanding, he has booked a return ticket and may return to the UK soon."

Vinci quickly made a decision: "Let people keep an eye on him, and you will take them to London to feel his bottom." He patted the man on the shoulder: "Funding is not a problem, we have sufficient funds."

The man immediately said: "As long as there is funding, even in Britain, we can find out some things."

Vinci nodded slightly: "Go get ready."

The car drove around and then put the man in Hollywood.

Back at Beverly Hills, Finch notified Ronan of the relevant situation as soon as possible.

After hearing Vinci’s description, Ronan had a bad feeling: "London, England..."

This allows him to have some associations on the basis of the previous ones, especially the various rights and wrongs caused by the recent copyright lawsuits about "X-Men" and "Fantastic Four".

Generally speaking, at a certain height, neither party will use means other than commercial, because you have money and I have money, and money can really buy a lot of things.

But some people may not have such a tacit understanding.

Ronan looked at Vinci: "You are right to let people go to London, England, and double the manpower. Pay attention, it's not Los Angeles."

Vinci said, "We will be careful."

Ronan whispered: "Focus on the branches and media organizations of News Corporation in London."

"You mean..." Vinci was surprised.

Ronan raised his fingers and shook: "This is just a guess, it's better not to have it, but it really has to be..."

Vinci answered, "I understand."

"Be careful." Ronan reminded again: "Don't be afraid to spend money, safety is the most important thing."

Vinci nodded: "Don't worry."

Ronan waved, and said to the living room: "Nikia, come here."

Butler Nikia came over immediately: "Mr. Anderson."

"Is there any problem with the maid?" Ronan asked.

Nikia said: "The rest are old people, knowing the roots. I canceled the two recruitment plans, and the existing personnel can basically maintain the operation of the manor."

Ronan knew who he might be facing this time, and he attached great importance to it: "Nikia, you assist Vinci to upgrade the security equipment of the manor again." He looked at Vinci: "Need the best equipment, especially Anti-eavesdropping."

"No problem." Vinci assured: "Leave this to me."

Nikia said, "I will personally assist Vinci."

Ronan waved his hand, and Nikia knew that she had nothing to do with her, and immediately went to the other side.

"Finch, there's another thing." Ronan knew that defense alone is not enough. In case it is really guessed, he must have a hole card to counterattack: "For those who go to England, send another team to learn about the "World Newspaper."

He suppressed his voice very low and exhorted a few more words.

Vinci kept nodding: "We received funding and trained for so long, not only for defense, but for other tasks as well."

"Go, keep a low profile." Ronan still reminded: "Low profile, don't attract attention."

Vinci said again, "I understand."

Ronan hopes that this matter will not be as complicated as he thought, but there are some things that often do not hurt to prepare for the worst.

After all, those people are not so courageous, even Downing Street dared to be included in the eavesdropping list.

When something is not revealed, people will find it incredible and impossible to happen.

But to investigate in a targeted manner, you may gain something.

Twentieth Century Fox proposes to negotiate an out-of-court settlement between "X-Men" and "Fantastic Four", but there is a necessary prerequisite. Marvel Entertainment immediately suspends the publication of the new "Fantastic Four" comics and cannot publish it again during the negotiation period. .

Such conditions, let alone Ronan, even Avi-Allard would not agree.

Ronan shook his head and went to the lounge next to him. The butler, Nikia, understood his habits and immediately made tea and sent it in.

"Thank you." Ronan smiled and nodded.

Nikia smiled implicitly and left.

What Ronan holds is the script that Shahai Entertainment's screenwriter sent him yesterday, a horror film project from the script library of the former Artisan Film Industry-"Human Skin Inn".

Similar to the "Smiths" script, the script of "Human Skin Inn" has also been adjusted. Since Shahai Entertainment does not lack **** horror films, this script has been pressed until now.

Nowadays, the new "Fatal Bend" series is about to be released. The production team there can also invest in new horror film projects after rest and adjustments. There are not many movies like "Human Skin Inn". Surprisingly, the video is a typical American plasma horror movie.

To put it simply, it is the journey of a young American youth.

In terms of directors, Shahai Entertainment has already finalized Eli Roth as the director, but it has been delayed until now because of the script.

Fortunately, the production of this kind of film will not take too long

"Human Skin Inn" can only be released until a suitable schedule is selected next year.

Counting the upcoming "Smiths", the two scripts obtained by the acquisition of Artisan Pictures have all entered the actual operation stage.

It is a pity that other scripts are temporarily invisible to people.

In addition, some of the videos in the copyright of the hand-made library have attracted many people.

After Sylvester Stallone heard that the copyright of the "First Blood" series belonged to Relativity Entertainment, he personally called Ronan and visited the Relativity Building to discuss the launch of "First Blood 4" and Possibility of directing and starring by him himself.

The golden age of traditional action movies has passed Ronan knows this very well, so he is not interested in Stallone's proposal.

But it was not clear.

Ronan put forward a condition, if Stallone took the initiative to cut his salary to 5 million U.S. dollars and ensure that all productions can be completed within the budget of 20 million U.S. dollars, then Shahai Entertainment will immediately give the green light for "First Blood 4".

The results of this discussion can be imagined, Sylvester Stallone left the relativity building very unhappy.

No way, the $20 million production budget is not even enough for Stallone’s director and starring remuneration.

But Ronan could not pay 20 million US dollars for Stallone alone. The movies of this era and Stallone’s experience fully demonstrate that Stallone’s worth is seriously inflated.

To be joking, twenty million dollars is not bad, but Stallone wants to sell his three daughters to Future World Manor.

Once, Stallone was regarded by many people as a national father-in-law.

Those three daughters helped Stallone earn a lot of fame through the Internet.

In addition to Stallone, Ron Wiseman, who had worked with Relativity Entertainment, also found Ronan and wanted to re-shoot "Total Memories" in the former artisan film library.

Not shooting a sequel, but a remake of the old version.

Ronan briefly chatted with Lun Wiseman, and when he learned that the "dazzling wife madman" planned to let Kate Beckinsale play the leading role, he immediately declined Lun Wiseman's proposal.

This is a science fiction film, investment must be indispensable, let Kate-Beckinsale starred in the big production heroine, "Van Helsing" is a lesson from the past.

Ronan still has some confidence in Len Wiseman, but he has no confidence in Kate Beckinsale.
