Midland.
"Andorra, this joke is not funny at all..."
"Sorry, Boss Perez, this is not a prank..."
"Why?"
morning.
Perez was halfway through the job when he heard a knock on the door.
Then he saw Andorra coming to him and handing him an application report.
After seeing the application report, he was stunned.
At first he thought the resignation letter Andor handed over was a joke.
He felt that Andor had no reason to suddenly resign when the King Kong series was so popular. This would not be of any benefit to Andor at all, after all, he could not take over the copyright of King Kong...
Moreover, the company gave Andorra a considerable share of the profits from "King Kong", so he was not treated unfairly at all.
so……
Why did he quit?
Even if Perez racked his brains, he could not find any reason why Andorra should resign.
But!
When he saw Andor say this with a very serious expression, he suddenly realized that this matter was not simple.
He had been with Andorra for nearly five years, so he naturally knew this guy's temper.
He stared at Andorra.
Thousands of thoughts came to my mind instantly.
Andorra also stared at him, his eyes meeting his without any avoidance.
"Maybe, I want to live a different way..."
Finally, Andorra shook his head.
"What's the alternative?"
"Freedom way."
"Does the American Federation make you unfree?"
“There is freedom, but not that kind of freedom.”
“Which company?”
"remote……"
"What? What company are you talking about?"
"remote!"
“…”
Perez suddenly didn't know what to say.
Once again he felt that Andorra was playing a joke on him!
Yes!
What is remote?
If I guessed correctly, it was the company that the Chinese guy just came to Hollywood to start? Although it has its own cinema chain, and although "Saw" is a big hit and caused a lot of noise yesterday, it still has no foundation in Hollywood.
And who is Andorra?
He is not the most powerful director in Hollywood, but at least he is one of the most famous directors in Hollywood...
The "King Kong" series made him famous and he became the number one director in Hollywood box office this year!
How could such a person go to a small place like "Remote"?
Is this a joke?
but……
Is Andorra a joke?
"Are you serious?"
"Seriously."
"How much did he give you?"
“We haven’t talked yet…”
"What? Are you crazy?"
"Well, maybe I'm crazy..."
"Do you know what you will face in the future if I approve your application? Although it may not be an enemy, you will not get any support from our company... I hope you can understand that this is nonsense, or a gamble, and it is a gamble with absolutely no chance of winning. I believe you will understand this as you are such a smart person."
"I see……"
"Then why do you still gamble?" Perez just thought it was ridiculous.
If it wasn't ridiculous, then I was definitely crazy.
"Mr. Perez, we are actually drifting apart." Andorra took out a cigarette and lit it. After smoking for a while, he finally shook his head and said, "Everyone has something they want to do. I have something I want to do too."
"Because what!"
"Mr. Perez, remember when I mentioned the concept of the superhero universe to you a year ago?"
"Because I didn't approve of your idea? Mr. Andor, do you know how much manpower and resources are needed to realize that huge thing in your mind? Moreover, even if you can realize this idea, do you think you can succeed? The company has more than one director, and there are other directors in the company. It is impossible to put most of the resources on you. Moreover, our shareholders do not agree with your idea... They just hope that you can make a good "King Kong" series. As for the rest, what you said about finding a way to spend money to buy the copyright of the comics and let the company help you set up the entire superhero project... This is not realistic for the time being... Of course, I am talking about next year for the time being. Next year I will propose your plan to the shareholders again... Don't worry."
"Mr. Perez, I said that we have drifted apart." Andor looked at Perez and said this to him very seriously, and for some reason he thought of Lu Yuan again.
Comparing the two...
The last hope in Andorra's heart was finally shattered.
He knew Perez too well.
Whenever Perez showed this expression, he knew that Perez was stalling for time.
"The company needs a little time. Competition in Hollywood is so fierce now, and we are not one of the eight major Hollywood companies. We have to be careful about many things... We cannot afford to fail."
"Mr. Perez, how long are you talking about?"
"Five years!"
"Perez, I'm sorry..."
"Are you sure?"
"Um!"
"Andorra, I'll give you another chance. The King Kong series has made you famous, but it doesn't mean you're the only one who can shoot it."
"Feel sorry!"
"good!"
Perez stared at Andorra, and Andorra stared at him.
Perez nodded, and when he saw that Andorra had no hesitation at all, he signed Andorra's application.
At the same time, my heart gradually grew colder.
Andorra watched silently as Perez signed, nodded at him, then turned and left the office.
"Andorra... Once you walk out of this door, you will have nothing to do with the company anymore. You can't take anything from the company away, and according to the contract, you won't get any share of the subsequent King Kong. We may even be rivals in the future!"
"I know."
"Even so, you don't regret it?"
“No regrets.”
“…”
Andaldon paused, then resolutely turned around and left the office.
After Perez looked at Andorra's back, his expression gradually became gloomy.
"idiot!"
Then...
He cursed in the direction Andorra left.
…
Lu Yuan never thought that he would change.
But a lot has changed in those nearly three years.
Yes!
A lot of things.
When Lu Yuan first came to this world, he only thought about making money. Even after he became famous, he still watched all the changes as a bystander and still did not have the feeling of integrating into this world.
I even had the idea of keeping some money and starting my own business back home if the company went bankrupt.
He doesn't think he has a future in the entertainment industry.
Later, maybe it was because Fatty Wei was brainwashing all day long, or maybe it was because Lu Yihong and the others often talked about dreams and the future, or maybe it was because other people had hopeful aspirations every day.
In short, Lu Yuan suddenly had many different feelings from before.
The Golden Rooster Awards is an opportunity for transformation.
He began to realize that he was not a marginal figure in this world, and he began to realize that he did not seem to be alone.
From that time on, he has truly integrated into this world.
The sea breeze blew on Lu Yuan's cheek.
He stood at the railing and looked at the waves hitting the hull in the distance.
He closed his eyes.
It's a very comfortable feeling.
Listening to the sound of the waves hitting the cabin, it seemed like there was a different atmosphere.
I don't know why this happened, but it should get better.
Suddenly, this thought appeared deep in Lu Yuan's heart.
The hatch opens.
Forrest came out of the cabin somewhat anxiously.
Then he looked at Lu Yuan on the deck...
The next important piano duel scene of "The Legend of 1900" is about to start filming.
Everyone was waiting for Lu Yuan in the crew.
But Lu Yuan didn't come yet.
This made Forrest feel very strange.
After coming out, he wanted to remind Lu Yuan, but then he inexplicably realized that now was not the right time.
In the sun...
The boss looked very quiet.
Seems to be thinking about something.
These days, he increasingly found that his boss was different from before.
He couldn't describe the change.
The person is still the same person, and there is no change in his daily life or other aspects.
but……
He didn't know when it started, but he felt a lot of pressure standing next to his boss, and sometimes the pressure made him feel breathless.
The boss's aura seems to be getting stronger and stronger?
Just at this moment!
"Forrest..."
"ah?"
After hearing Lu Yuan's voice, Forrest was suddenly startled!
Then he looked at Lu Yuan as if he had seen a ghost.
The boss didn't look back!
How do you know it was him?
Is it because of my footsteps?
That’s not right. The waves are so loud and there are so many noises on the sea. The boss shouldn’t be able to hear it, right?
"I thought of a very big ship, and I thought of a story..." Lu Yuan turned his head calmly and looked at Forrest.
"Huh? What kind of story?"
"It should be a very beautiful story..." Lu Yuan laughed "Forrest, is everyone in the crew waiting for me?"
"Yeah, that's right..."
"Okay." Lu Yuan nodded, took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it between his ears.
Then he straightened his tuxedo and narrowed his eyes.
He thought about the plot he was going to perform next.
"Immortal Movement" is a piano piece of extremely difficult difficulty.
Even though Lu Yuan has been practicing this piano piece for some time, he still can't play it.
but……
These should not be difficult for him.
He is in exceptionally good condition at this moment!
Unprecedented and even better than any before.
Lu Yuan's mouth corners slightly raised.
Just before entering the cabin, he stopped and looked at the sea again.
The sea is blue and vast.
After looking for a while, he finally walked into the cabin.
The sea breeze is still blowing.
Forrest looked at the direction Lu Yuan went in in a daze.
He wiped his eyes.
It feels like seeing a ghost.
Just as the boss lit up the cigarette, he suddenly felt that the boss was unusually strange.
It was as if he had become a different person.
Obviously the boss is still the same boss.
but!
The temperament, movements, and even the way he walked changed.
In fact, this change is just a momentary transformation.
Even Forrest couldn't react!
etc!
Is the boss going to challenge the most difficult song "Immortal Movement"?
this……
…
"Director Andor, are you really planning to leave?"
"I'm not planning to leave, I've already left."
"Andorra Director..."
"Director Thomson, what's wrong? You don't have to persuade me anymore. I have thought it through clearly."
"Ah, Director Andorra, I'm not trying to persuade you..."
"Are you blessing me?"
“Not really…”
"What is that?"
"I...I want to leave with you, too."
"What?"
"Well, I want to leave with you too!"
"???"
