On January 20, the Sundance Film Festival ushered in the closing ceremony, and the closing film was "Poison" directed by Todd Haynes.

In the end, the film won the Best Feature Film Award at this film festival.

The biggest winner of this film festival was the documentary "American Dream", which won three awards, including Best Documentary, Best Documentary Producer Award, and Best Documentary Audience Award.

For the controversial film "Reservoir Dogs", the jury ultimately did not have the courage to break with tradition and only awarded a less important Special Jury Award.

Quentin left Sundance with regret and disappointment, while Duca was in a good mood. The agreement stipulated that he would get 500,000 just for winning the prize. Whether it was the most important prize or not, it would not affect his money.

In February, the 41st Berlin International Film Festival opened, and Laurence Band and Tarantino Quentin participated in the Berlin Film Festival with "Reservoir Dogs".

After the film was screened in Berlin, it received a good response and was shortlisted for the main competition of the film festival. Quentin's talent was further recognized.

Unfortunately, "Reservoir Dogs" did not win any awards at the final awards ceremony.

During the Berlin Film Festival, the screening rights of "Reservoir Dogs" in Europe were also sold one after another.

Including Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Japan, etc.

Screening rights and DVD rights were sold for a total of $4.2 million.

In the end, Duca invested 1.3 million yuan in "Reservoir Dogs" and earned a total of 9.7 million US dollars, more than seven times the income, which was considered a huge profit.

After the funds arrived, Duca paid out 600,000 US dollars in dividends, and Quentin received 400,000 US dollars alone. During the filming, in order to save costs, Quentin did not ask for director fees, script fees, and film remuneration, and shot with zero salary.

Now that he has made money, he cannot treat this great hero badly.

The remaining 200,000 was divided among the main staff such as Laurence Band, Monte Hellman, Walter Meaney, and Monica Bellucci. They contributed a lot during the preparation, filming, production, and sale of copyrights, and they deserved it.

Get rewarded.

The remaining 9 million he wanted to use to pay off debts. When he originally purchased Cisco stock, he applied for 8 million in capital allocation from Morgan Bank.

This allocation is equivalent to a loan, but the interest rate is 2 percentage points higher than the loan.

With the money, he first repaid the loan.

After repaying the loan, his Sagittarius Venture Capital will take full control of its Cisco stock and trade it at will.

Cisco's market capitalization was US$374 million in August last year. Half a year later, its market capitalization increased by 42%, exceeding US$500 million for the first time.

The Cisco stock in Duca's hands has increased from the initial 16 million to 23 million. The total stock share remains at around 4.2%, and the preferred stock is still 1.8%.

With more than one million US dollars left, he once again paid off the loan he had used to mortgage his villa to buy a bar.

After settling two loans, his debt was only 5 million.

Three million of it was the money he spent to start LV Pictures and invest in making movies, and the remaining two million was the money borrowed from Andrew to shoot "Unruly Sky".

There is no need to worry about these two sums of money, you can keep them and pay them back slowly.

He calculated his net worth, 23 million stocks + real estate + bar, which equals approximately 26 million, minus the fiscal deficit of 5 million, which equals 21 million.

If you include bar income, stock dividends, "Reservoir Dogs" TV rights and movie and music album shares, etc., the total net worth is much larger than this figure.

"Hey, Monica, come out."

In Villa No. 108, Duka stopped the car at the door and shouted twice into the villa.

"What?"

Monica walked to the balcony on the second floor and looked downstairs.

I saw a brand new convertible car parked downstairs, with a golden trident logo on the front. It was the latest Maserati sports car.

Royal blue metallic paint, classic appearance lines, looks very beautiful.

The back seat of the car was filled with tulips and roses of various colors.

"Where did the car come from?"

"This is my gift to you, a Valentine's Day gift. Do you like it?"

Duka held the car door and smiled.

"It looks great, I'll try it."

Monica left the balcony and came downstairs from the side stairs.

She has long curly hair, wearing a white suspender belt and tight-fitting silk trousers. She has a curvy figure, like a ripe peach that exudes a charming smell.

"My dear, give it a try. If you don't like it, you can change it."

Duca threw the car keys away.

Monica reached out to catch it and looked around the car.

"It's my favorite color and the style is cool."

The two got in the car, and Monica drove around the villa. She felt that it was not enough, so she simply drove the sports car out of the villa and drove over 100 in the driveway of the Bellaire community. She moved skillfully and looked heroic.

.

After playing for half an hour, the car slowly returned to the villa.

"Thank you dear, I love it."

Monica stopped the car and smiled.

"Then what? No real action?"

Duka pointed to his face and smiled.

"Yes, pervert!"

Monica smiled and gave him a passionate kiss.

Duka returned the kiss unceremoniously.

Then the two kissed from the car to the villa and spent a passionate evening together.

"Honey, what do you like about me?"

At night, in front of the bright moon window, Monica lay on his chest, with a charming flush on her face, and her charming curves under the thin blanket. Before he could speak, Monica lazily poked his chest with her fingers,

"You must tell the truth!"

"good!"

Duka smiled softly, "I liked you at first because of your beauty and sexy figure."

"He is indeed a pervert!"

Monica pinched him.

"Don't move, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Duka grabbed her finger and said softly, "I like you because of your appearance, your talent, your loyalty to your character, your body, your voice, and your deep love."

"Haha, you said it so smoothly, how many girls have you said this to?"

Monica leaned on his chest and stared at him and asked.

Duca shook her head, pulled the blanket over her shoulders,

"I have never met a girl as beautiful as you, so attractive to me, and so cool. The first time I saw you, I recognized you. It took me half a year to get to know you and let you understand me.

I am serious about this relationship and I will never lie to you."

"Are you serious? The first time you said you would marry me, did you lie to me?"

Monica lay on his chest and cooed softly.

"Of course not, I do what I say!"

Duca stroked her hair and said.

The first time, Monica said that it was her first time, and if she wanted to sleep with her, she must marry her, otherwise she would fight him.

At that time, he was surprised. This girl was 25 years old and an open-minded Italian. How could this be her first time?

Monica explained that she believed in ancient Roman Christianity and had to remain chaste before marriage. After marriage, she could not divorce or cheat. There were many strict rules.

Duka thought about this girl's previous life. Although she had made many explicit movies, she had no scandals. She was only married once and the marriage lasted for more than 20 years, which is quite rare in the chaotic entertainment industry.

After considering this, he still couldn't believe it.

He made a bet with himself: if it was true, he would be responsible for Monica to the end; if it was false, he would treat it as a joke.

The result is no joke.

Apart from the blood stains, based on his many years of experience with women, he could never hide the truth from the truth.

Monica is very conservative and jerky in this aspect, which is in sharp contrast to her open attire and glamorous appearance.

If he lost the bet, he would naturally have to take responsibility.

"My dear, when do you want to get married? Or this year?"

Duka held her waist and leaned over to look at her and asked.
