Regardless of whether I regret it or not, I haven't contacted him since September last year.

Because Glasses never gave the money to Han Chudong after selling the agency rights, Zhou Nan and Zhao Dajun became disgusted with him. Over time, they stopped talking about him and started a new life.

After visiting Beverly Hills on the day of moving, Han Chudong returned home from Miami that afternoon. Zhou Nan and Zhao Dajun visited again after receiving a call, ready to discuss the crew's preparations, striving to complete the filming and distribution before the end of this year, preferably in time for the Christmas season.

Time is a bit tight, but there is hope if everything goes well. The preliminary preparations were almost completed before the end of last year, and the director and actors were selected.

All of these were handled by Han Chudong. The screenwriters contacted him directly, and the producers only recognized him.

Zhou Nan and Zhao Dajun hadn't even seen the script yet. They just got to experience the thrill of being shareholders during the casting period and were mesmerized by the many beauties.

Until now, Zhou Nan still feels regretful. Now he said: "Really, I still think Emily is prettier. With those legs and that face, she only wore a swimsuit during the audition. Who wouldn't drool when they see her on the screen?"

"You're just bragging. I have no impression of her at all. How pretty can she be?" Zhao Dajun participated in the audition held in early December last year and had a say in this matter. To be honest, he didn't believe in Zhou Nan's aesthetic sense at all and despised this childhood friend who was obsessed with taking advantage of her.

In terms of aesthetic views, Zhao Dajun had seen Helena Bergman and Kiko Mochizuki, and he also had some impression of the beautiful girl named Yang, who he met once at the Moonlight Rabbit Ballroom and then quickly disappeared from Han Chudong's side. Naturally, he was more willing to stand in the same camp with Han Chudong and support Olivia Hussey to play the leading role.

Speaking of Olivia Hussey, the actress who starred in "Romeo and Juliet", once had dinner with Han Chudong because of her endorsement.

If he had been a little more proactive, perhaps something would have happened between him and this actress, who had a flash marriage and divorced quickly last year.

Unfortunately, he didn't. When the other party's agent contacted him, he provided some conveniences, allowing Olivia Hussey to directly enter the final casting stage.

In response to Zhao Dajun's opposition, Zhou Nan raised his middle finger and said, "You are blind. Don't you think Emily looks like Monroe?"

Han Chudong smiled and said, "Even if it was really Marilyn Monroe, she would probably still be a waitress in this era. People's aesthetic standards have changed a long time ago. Acting in a movie is not only about looks, but acting skills are also very important. Olivia has acted in a few movies and has been the heroine. She has an advantage."

Both of his friends were curious about this question. Zhou Nan was the first to ask with a sly smile, "Is it just because of your acting skills? Isn't there some other story behind this? For example, you took advantage of her first and then gave her the leading role?"

They didn't mean to blame her. In fact, they were both quite satisfied with Olivia's looks and acting skills, otherwise they wouldn't have voted for her name in the final stage with the director and producer. They just took the opportunity to make fun of her.

Han Chudong was naturally calm as he had nothing to hide.

He shook his head and said, "Absolutely not. Although she's not a top star who's famous all over the world, if something happens, she'll be a top star. How dare I bet that someone won't step on me to get to the top? I'll be the only one who'll be unlucky. The risk is too great. There's no need to do that."

This was not the answer Zhou Nan and Zhao Dajun wanted.

The two were sitting on the sofa drinking Macallan whiskey produced during World War II. Han Chudong usually sipped it for himself, so the quality must be good.

What’s interesting is that he hoarded many boxes, occasionally drank some himself and took some out to give to others, and as he drank more, the value of the wine in stock actually became higher than when he bought it.

Due to the holiday, we have not been in contact with Margaux, one of the top five wineries in France, nor with Cheval Blanc, one of the top wineries. The kidnapping of Han Yigun caused huge losses to the company. However, with the inflow of 300 million US dollars from the Swiss Bank Group, the original investment plan remains unchanged and there is still a surplus in the account, so the idea of ​​investing in the winery will continue to be implemented.

Since the company intends to develop into the personal computer field and increase investment in the Silicon Valley, the investment amount in other areas will inevitably be reduced accordingly this year. The current loan amount is too high and the annual interest will be as high as nearly 70 million US dollars.

Although the assets appreciated faster, they were not real money after all, which limited Han Chudong's pace of expansion. After careful consideration during the holiday, he decided that it would be better to stabilize the existing foundation while expanding steadily. There was plenty of time anyway, so there was no need to rush.

Hearing Han Chudong's words, Zhou Nan looked at him strangely and sighed with regret: "A good playboy would turn back just because he was worried about trouble? Then why did he want to make a fortune? He's not even as carefree as me."

"I advise you to be careful. If you don't take protective measures, you will easily get sick." Han Chudong refuted jokingly and added: "My current situation is already very complicated. I haven't even figured out the matter between Helena and Wangyue. I'm not one of those people who gets impulsive when seeing a woman. There's no need to continue asking for trouble. I will refuse to go to the Moonlight Rabbit Dance Hall again."

"Me too. Now I just want to have a serious relationship. Let's eat on separate plates in the future. I think you've been a little crazy lately, spending too much money on them. It's too messy." Zhao Dajun said to Zhou Nan.

The three of them are all nouveau riche who have suddenly become rich after being poor for a long time. They have been dazzled by the real world full of wine and sex, and have recently begun to consider turning over a new leaf.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Wondering why the topic suddenly focused on him, Zhou Nan rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "I just had a physical checkup last month and I'm in good health. They just said there's too much fat in my liver and told me to eat less meat and exercise more. You two guys aren't much better, how dare you criticize me?"

…

When friends are together, they are more relaxed when talking.

Han Chudong found a file bag from the drawer and said, "The script and the detailed expenses are all here with me. I just entered the film industry, so the expenses are relatively high. I asked the finance department to keep an eye on it. We will definitely save what we can, but there are some things that we really can't save. The investment money should be a little less at the time. You will know after reading the script that spending more money can produce better scenes. I can advance the money and pay it back to me after the film is released. The gap should not be too big."

Zhao Dajun suddenly remembered something and asked, "Where's your movie Jaws? Why hasn't it been released yet?"

"The post-production work will be completed soon, and it will be released in March, but I want to wait until the summer vacation in June and start the promotion in May. If I am free in the evening, I will take you to watch it first, and invite family and friends to come together..."
