Chapter 733 Those changes in life
“yes!yes!”
Andy looked at the fat man who jumped up from the sofa with a constipated expression on his face, kept bent his arms to show his strength and cheering, and gritted his teeth and threw away the handle in his hand.
"Haha, thank you, $100!" Carl didn't care how ugly Andy looked, and took a hundred dollars from his hand, deliberately folded it carefully and put it in his pocket.
"So, are we going to continue? Otherwise... you have lost five games." Fatty Carl said to Andy as if I was thinking about you.
"Damn it, how could it be possible? How could you be faster than me!"
Carl smiled proudly, "You know that I am very good at racing games, and my driving skills can get you several streets away!"
"Hmph! It's boring to stop playing!" Andy turned off the TV angrily. To be honest, no matter in his past and present, he has never been very interested in racing and parkour games...
"Okay, okay, you are the boss, you have the final say, it's still late, I'm going to leave. By the way, this is the letter from the screenwriter's union. You need to give a positive answer. Don't forget, don't say anything more, just say that you support the union's decision." Carl looked down on his watch, patted his forehead, took out a white envelope from his pocket and handed it to Andy.
"Is it still impossible to reach a consensus on the issue of royalties?" Andy calmed down his unhappy mood and asked while opening the envelope.
"Well, the development of new media has led to profits in these fields not only growing at a fast pace, but also occupying an increasingly large proportion. But the old contracts failed to make screenwriters and writers taste the sweetness, and the copyright in these fields was not protected as due. This time it seems that the American TV Film Producers Alliance is in trouble. The screenwriters union is very tough, and the war has affected you. You are ready to tear your face. Hehe, this will directly affect the normal operation of the American TV industry, and may spread to Hollywood."
Looking at Carl's gloating look, Andy rolled his eyes speechlessly and said viciously: "Bastard, I have a TV station and a film company!"
Carl looked at Andy as if you were not here, "Don't think I didn't know. The script for the second season of Gossip Girl has already come out, and the movies that have been launched at the peak have already been in place. Even the "Mad Men" of Amc TV station has been asked to complete the script for the second season in advance... You have been preparing for it for a long time, but now you look like you may have suffered heavy losses. It's shameless."
"roll--"
Looking at Carl's back fleeing in panic, Andy, who was angry, closed the letter, raised her eyebrows, and shrugged her shoulders indifferently. After the news of the screenwriter's union and the producers' league broke out a few months ago, he remembered the four-month screenwriter strike that broke out this year, and even canceled the Golden Globes award ceremony. The strike that was greatly affected by the Oscars will naturally prepare early.
Because even he must respond to the call of the union to conduct a shutdown strike. Even the front-line actors in Hollywood chose to support the screenwriter union and joined the strike. As the general trend is, no one will be a traitor at that time. Therefore, he will let his TV and film companies work overtime to move forward, even if they have to pay overtime.
American TV series are lying together. At this time, whoever has the inventory in his hands can seize the ratings. In 4 months, tsk, it is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Well, he is not the only smart person. Major TV stations have already expected it and have prepared a large number of scripts, but what they didn't expect would spread to actors, or even stage actors.
This is inevitable and he doesn't need too much attention. However, it is definitely necessary to issue a statement supporting the union. He doesn't want to be the target of public criticism. In Hollywood, reputation is very important.
"...Okay, my dear, believe me, you and the child will not have any problems...How come, why are you too fat, not fat at all, it's all written by those reporters.
Don’t care about that dirty joke. Isn’t the audience’s feedback effective? It’s just that, just pay attention to it next. Don’t just open your mouth and get fooled by those hosts...
The promotion of "Golden Compass" is not as important as your safety and health. Well, I'll go there tonight, OK, boo-bye."
Although I didn't sweat, I hang up the phone with a black thread on my forehead. My wife, Saihuang, seemed to have a little deteriorated IQ. Isn't it really stupid for three years after one pregnancy?
A 30-minute phone call was spent most of her time coaxing her. She was full of entanglements and worries. She also made jokes several times when she appeared on TV to promote movies. However, she was all confused with her cute expressions. The audience thought it was the show effect. Only Andy and Sehuang themselves knew that Sehuang's attention was indeed a bit inconspicuous, his memory was reduced, and his mind was sometimes not smart.
Fortunately, the acting skills of the actress queen are not very good. The slow pace and the tricks Andy gave her are very obvious. This contrast between the cool and charming contrast made the audience like it very much.
After looking at the time, I picked up the car keys, walked into the garage, and with the help of the bodyguard, I pulled the dust cover.
"Buzz-buzz-buzz-"
The Ferrari 275gtb roared, and Andy rolled down the window glass with his hand and released the brakes. The antique Ferrari, which was born for the track, drove out of the villa. The paparazzi were isolated by the bodyguards, allowing him to pass smoothly, and then stepped on the accelerator and left.
Going straight to school, ahem, Andy was a little ashamed. After all, he, a celebrity student, really fished for two days and screened for two days. Fortunately, his old coach helped him, otherwise, even if he could pass all the exams, his credits might not be enough. It would be embarrassing if he couldn't finish his graduation.
Looking at the big box in the passenger seat, Andy smiled, which was an explanation to the brothers of the Brotherhood. It seemed that he would stay in California well for the next period of time.
I first went to the university administrative building to find professors in various subjects to pay for leave, and then returned to the villa at the fraternity residence with gifts. Because it was class time, of course there was never a shortage of people in the villa.
As soon as his car arrived, a few people ran out of the house, stepped forward and hugged him enthusiastically, beat and play, "Tommy, my co-pilot is a gift for my brothers, well, there are caviar and truffles, and some extra steak from my farm..."
"Oh my God, dear Andy, we finally waited until you came back..." At this time, a few people ran out of the villa. When Andy heard Andy's words, their eyes blew towards the box with green light, and they were still shouting.
"Hi, Jerry, how are you doing recently?" Andy hugged his little follower Jerry and deliberately patted his back hard.
"Ahem... Damn it, let go, boss... let go, cough cough." Jerry, who finally broke out from Andy's clutch, looked at Andy with a resentful look and smile.
"Okay, welcome back, boss." Jerry and Andy clapped their hands and made several gestures, and then collided with each other.
"Smack!"
Jerry clapped his hands hard and raised his arms. Five or six people stood at the door of the villa to look at Andy with curious eyes. Then Jerry shouted loudly: "Welcome to our superstars back!"
Seeing everyone present at the Brotherhood clapping their hands with a smile, Andy also raised his right hand and clenched his fist, pounding his heart, "Thank you!"
Surrounded by clusters, he walked into the villa and saw the strange faces, and couldn't help but ask, "Newcomer?"
"Well, the number of graduates this year is a bit too high, so the number of recruits has increased a little. By the way, although I regret that you didn't catch up with Hamilton's farewell party, but seeing the steak wine and cake you sent, the person who left chose to forgive you..."
Andy kicked Jerry, who was playing tricks, and laughed and scolded: "A bunch of bastards!"
"Haha, Hamilton asked me to thank you again for him."
Andy smiled and shook his head and said, "I've been on the phone with him. I didn't do anything, it's up to him."
"Ha~ come on, without your phone number, he may not be able to compete with Harvard and Stanford. Forget it, he just needs to know what's going on." Jerry shrugged without comment. His own father is a senior partner of Andy's law firm. How could he not understand how much Andy's recommendation to Hamilton is. It would definitely be difficult to be able to join Smith's law firm as an assistant.
"I'll notify everyone and come back for lunch." Andy said with a smile.
"Why, are you going to leave in the afternoon?" Seeing Andy nodding, Jerry said helplessly: "Okay, I'll say it in the circle, by the way, genius Andy, your whatsapp is simply great, especially this circle of friends, which is so convenient!"
Andy smiled proudly, not showing any modesty, because that was not American. "There will be new features added later, and I think you will love it more at that time!"
"Is that right? Then let's wait and see...Okay, I'll post it in the group again. By the way, you should thank Tommy, that kid has been on duty for you and helps you clean the room regularly." Jerry followed Andy and walked into the clean and tidy Andy's room, reminding.
"Well, I get it." Andy took out the clothes from his backpack and hung them in the closet. He was also very satisfied with the clean and tidy room. "Don't Tommy like baseball?"
"Yeah, that's right."
"That's good." Andy poked his head out into the corridor and shouted, "Tommy!"
Soon I heard the sound of going upstairs, "Andy, what are you looking for?"
"Nothing, to thank you for your help over the past period, how about a set of annual tickets for the VIP area of the Los Angeles Dodgers?" Andy clapped his hands and Tommy who walked in.
"Wow, a great gift, thank you." Tommy accepted Andy's thanks generously. There was no way. Who asked him to be with a superstar when he was assigned to work? Damn it was still not going to school all day, so he could only be alone in cleaning. Although he was not deliberately trying to please Andy, the rich man, he still hoped to be closer to Andy. After all, the example of Hamilton, who is Andy's leader, is there.
