Chapter 1669 (1/2)
The next day Peter Jackson and nervous Neil Blomkamp were at a restaurant in Hollywood.
No matter how bad Carl's reputation is, for Neil now, it's an opportunity he can't refuse. What's the profit of being squeezed by a vampire compared with being nameless and having no money to make a movie?
”Here they are.”
Neil, who was thinking about something, suddenly heard Peter open his mouth and looked at Peter's direction. He saw a little fat middle-aged white man in a suit standing by a Maybach car with a smile on his face.
In Maybach, who opened the door, a blonde in a black blazer, black tights and high heels came next.
Charlize Theron, South Africa.
To be honest, Neil is the first time to see the real person of Charlize Theron. Seeing Charlize and the middle-aged white man with a kind of flattery on his face, he enters the restaurant jokingly. The bodyguard and everyone's gaze behind him are indeed ”Venus of Hollywood”, the goddess who perfectly integrates beauty and mystery.
Charlize Theron is really eye-catching. It's very difficult to submerge her in the sea of people with her blonde hair, the coldest features, the big style that she can live in everywhere, and her big man.
”Hello, Peter.”
”Hi, Charlize, you are so beautiful today.”
”Thank you.”
Charlize greeted Peter Jackson with a big smile and hugged him.
”Hi, Carl, you're thin again.”
”Haha, Peter, you are fat again.”
”Well, you still hate it.”
”Ha ha...”
Neil's face flashed a glimmer of consternation at Peter, who was embracing and communicating with Carl, the vampire.
”Let me introduce you to Neil Blomkamp, a very talented director who has made many short films before...”
”Hello, this is Charlize Theron. Nice to meet you.” Charlize smiled, reached out and shook Neil's hand.
”Hello, I'm Neil Blomkamp. Nice to meet you. I'm your fan.”
”Thank you.” Charlize listened too much to this kind of words from his fans, especially when he met a livestock fan and made his stomach bigger. He was not immune to this kind of words.
”Hello, Mr. Carr. This is Neil Blomkamp.”
”Hello.” Carl just lightly shook Neil's hand, and there was not even too much expression on his face, which made Neil slightly embarrassed.
”Sit down and talk.” Charlize also knows a little about Carl's temperament and reputation for being outside. But that's outside. To her, Carl always welcomes and flatters her with a smile.
After the conversation and lunch time, neither Charlize nor Karl mentioned the investment content of zone 9. Peter seemed to forget the same, and didn't mention it. Although Neil bromkan was very worried, he was still worried. Especially after seeing Peter's hint in the eyes, I slowly relaxed and joined in enjoying delicious food and chatting.
Charlize Theron in real life is much easier to get close to than on screen or in photos. The aura of the Oscar winning actress did not make her wear the proud and unattainable old drama bone mask. The beauty of ”goddess” is reflected in her gestures and smiles, especially in her warm afternoon smile, which is impressive, not aggressive, not playing big cards. Nierbromkan could not imagine that ”goddess” is so kind, considerate and comfortable.
When lunch was coming to an end, Carl, who had been talking all kinds of funny jokes, was obviously flattering Charlize Theron every moment, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and his smile converged. Suddenly, he said to Neil with a bland expression: ”I have read the script, which is very good. It is in line with our style of” global film ”to explore the future, attack evil, sing love and praise heroes , 30 million of us have invested in the focus film industry. The copyright and final editing rights belong to the focus company. Is that ok? ”
When he heard Carl's question, Neil bromkan frowned slightly. As soon as he wanted to say something, he was kicked twice by Peter Jackson at the bottom of the table. Then he sighed in his heart and nodded slightly.
Carl was very unhappy with nilblomkan's hesitation and some reluctant expression on his face. His mouth turned up, his face sneered, his eyes twinkled with sharp light and stared at Neil. ”You seem to be reluctant? It doesn't matter. I'm not forced. ”
”Don't get me wrong. I have no opinion.” A smile came out of nilblomkan's face and he quickly replied.
”Is it? Are you sure? ” Carl smiled, didn't wait for the other side to answer, and said directly, ”I know the importance of editing right for every director in the end, but you are not Peter, just a new director, so if you want to have power and respect, then you should take out all your abilities, make this movie, and become a big director. At that time, no one will ask you for this. Now, you can only follow the Follow the rules of Hollywood! ”After hearing Carl's words, Neil bromkan's face changed a little, but he was soon relieved and nodded with a wry smile, while Charlize and Peter on the other side were talking about something as if they had not heard anything.
”The company will pay your screenwriter and director, no box office share, no problem?”
”No.”
