Chapter eight hundred and twentieth remind Depp
"My mother didn't agree either."
In the studio, Lily Depp pulled her braid and said as she walked, "Dad, this idiot, can't convince mom, I can only be a scoundrel."
Matthew looked at Johnny Depp, who shrugged and shook his head, looking helpless.
"Let's play a rogue?" Matthew looked like a qualified godfather. "Lily, we must convince people with reason."
Lily Depp pulled Johnny Depp up with one hand and Matthew with the other, "But, the godfather, mother never needs to reason with her daughter, they use power and oppression!"
Hearing this, Matthew and Johnny Depp couldn't help laughing.
Johnny Depp rubbed her head in a doting way and said, "So you're crying and making a fuss, and you're not eating?"
Lily Depp gently lit his chin, "That's right. Dad, godfather, look, I'm here in Los Angeles now, proving that I've succeeded."
Matthew said with a smile, "You are successful in playing a rogue."
While talking, the three of them walked out of the studio where the crew of "Land" was located and walked along the road towards the door of Warner Studios.
Lily Depp snorted, then said the topic just now, "No." She let go of Johnny Depp and grabbed Matthew's big hand tightly. "I later made sense to my mother. I said I wanted to come to Los Angeles to visit the godfather, and my mother agreed."
"Lily is so good." Matthew praised at the right time, "Lily is a good boy."
He deliberately joked, "Why don't you stay in Los Angeles with your godfather?"
"Uh..." Lily Depp's eyes turned, "That's so bad. The godmother also said she would take me to London this year."
Matthew nodded and said, "Kayla."
Johnny Depp then said, "Keira Knightley sometimes goes to France to attend some fashion events and visit Lily."
"Compared to your godmother," Matthew sighed, "I am not qualified as a godfather."
Lily Depp asked, "Godfather, do you want to be a qualified Godfather?"
Is this question still necessary? Matthew immediately replied, "I think about it."
Lily Depp couldn't help laughing, "You accompany me to shop tomorrow, and I'll buy whatever I like!"
Matthew spread his hands, "Can I refuse?"
"Then you just don't want to be a qualified godfather!" Lily Depp said humming.
"Okay." Matthew learned from Johnny Depp and rubbed Lily Depp's little head, "I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
Lily Depp took Matthew's hand and said a few words to Matthew and Johnny Depp. He was obviously happy.
The three of them walked and chatted, walking towards the studio door.
While passing by a studio door on the way, Matthew invited Lily Depp and Johnny Depp to go in and take a walk.
"It's so busy, they." Lily Depp grabbed Matthew's hand and walked in the studio, watching the artists and props set up the studio. "The studio was so deserted just now, but it was so lively here."
Johnny Depp asked while looking around, "Is this your new film you invested in?"
"Hmm." Matthew nodded, "a movie of the same name based on Susan Collins' novel The Hunger Games."
He pulled Lily Depp to the office area and waited for Johnny Depp to follow him, and continued, "I'm also auditioning here. I plan to use new actors like "Twilight".
This kind of newcomer is not someone who has just entered Hollywood and the actor industry, but someone who is not very famous before.
Speaking of this, Matthew remembered another thing and asked, "Lily, there is an important child character behind Twilight. Are you interested?"
Unexpectedly, Lily Depp said dejectedly, "I promised my mother that I will only shoot this movie before I was thirteen."
Matthew instantly understood that for the audition of "Luxing", Lily Depp signed an unequal treaty with Vanessa. No wonder Vanessa was willing to let her come to Los Angeles.
Johnny Depp interrupted, "Now it's more about Lily feeling what's going on in the movie and preparing for the future."
Matthew laughed, "The one who listens to mother is the good boy."
He can't instigate his goddaughter to keep his word and fight Vanessa, right?
Lily Depp pouted and glared at Matthew with the little girl's contemptuous look.
The three got together and chatted while walking, so the speed was naturally very slow.
"You have been successful in these few investments." Johnny Depp no longer discussed the little girl's issue with Matthew, but instead talked about investment. "It's not like me, the money you invest in is always losing money."
Matthew was friends with him for many years and immediately asked, "What have you invested in recently?"
As early as when filming "Pirates of the Caribbean", he reminded Johnny Depp to be cautious in investment, especially investment agents, to strictly monitor them in various aspects.
"Houses, famous paintings, stocks..." Johnny Depp said directly, "There are very few stocks, mainly houses and famous paintings."
Hearing this, Matthew sighed in his heart. It is no less risky than stocks when playing real estate investment in North America, and he is trapped in minutes.
There are also so-called famous paintings, which are even more bottomless pits.
Matthew thought about it and reminded again, "Last year's financial crisis affected real estate, and it was difficult for houses to get out of business, but as the economy recovered, it would always appreciate slowly."
Johnny Depp continued, "I think so too."
Since he didn't know the trend of real estate in the United States at all, Matthew didn't say much about this, but instead advised, "It's better to be cautious when investing in artworks. It's too difficult to cash out this thing."
He also emphasized, "Especially modern art works, most of them are produced by commercial hype. The prices are inflated and they can only be suppressed when they fall into their hands."
To a certain extent, this is a game of passing flowers by beating drums. When it really takes money, the so-called modern paintings in your hand can make people unable to cry.
A bitter smile flashed across Johnny Depp's face and said, "I've been no longer interested in these things since last year."
Last year, he urgently needed money. The house could not be sold due to the financial crisis. He originally wanted to transfer some modern art in his hand to cash in. As a result, he auctioned two consecutive auctions, only two of them were sold. The person who bought it was not the so-called art collector, but also the people who were Hollywood stars.
Matthew didn't mention this, but instead said, "Have you heard about Nicholas Cage?"
Some things, even if he and Johnny Depp have been friends for many years, are not suitable to tell them directly, so they simply changed their approach, "I heard Sophia Coppola mention that Nicholas Cage was cheated by his investment consultant, so I specially asked professional teams such as lawyers and accountants to check the accounts, and none of these investment agents are honest."
Johnny Depp asked subconsciously, "Is the loss big?"
Matthew shook his head, "It's not big, I just moved my hands and feet."
He said this, Johnny Depp had already reacted and thoughtfully.
Seeing that Matthew caught Johnny Depp's attention, he did not continue to make up. This tactful reminder was already very direct. I hope Johnny Depp will not encounter situations like Nicholas Cage.
The most important thing is that it can attract the attention of Johnny Depp.
Many Hollywood stars think that they are making a lot of money, and they spend money like money, but they also invest randomly. More importantly, it is fine to invest randomly. If these funds are handed over to investment agents, there are basically no regulatory measures.
People may not lack professional ethics for celebrities, but in the face of millions or even tens of millions of dollars in funding, anyone's professional ethics will be seriously impacted.
If you use so much money to test your ethics, I believe many people will throw away ethics and choose money.
It is absolutely not uncommon for big Hollywood stars to go bankrupt.
Because Matthew attached great importance to it, he had learned that Hollywood stars are pretty good. Like those black NBA stars, they are typical of this. They all look very popular with valuable super contracts, but many people often mean the arrival of bankruptcy while retirement.
There have been too many tricks from investment agents in this regard.
When filming "Pirates of the Caribbean", he reminded Johnny Depp, but did not attract Johnny Depp's attention. Now Johnny Depp has a personal pain and probably won't be like before.
Matthew took Johnny Depp and Lily Depp around the studio because the crew was performing their first audition for major characters, including Katniss, and did not see director Patty Jakins and producer Nina Jacobson.
The entire crew was busy, and Matthew didn't stay for too long. He quickly walked out of the studio with Johnny Depp and Lily Depp and prepared to leave the Warner Studios.
The three of them continued to walk along the road.
Not long after walking, the sound of high heels falling to the ground came from behind. The sound was still very smooth, and the rhythm was just a little faster than them.
But as the sound got closer, the sound of high heels landing on the ground suddenly accelerated. Although Matthew heard it, he didn't care much. After all, this is a studio. With the introduction of a movie tax refund offer in California, the originally quiet major studios in Los Angeles have gradually become lively, and many crews have also chosen to shoot in Los Angeles.
In Warner Studios, he invested in two crews alone, not to mention that there are crews such as Warner Bros., such as "Green Lantern" and others, which are also preparing for filming.
There are already people coming and going on this road.
Matthew was holding the goddaughter Lily Depp while chatting with Johnny Depp.
The sound of the high heels falling to the ground at the back became more and more rapid. The source of the sound came immediately behind Matthew. It seemed that someone was in a hurry to go, walking very fast, and it caused a gust of wind.
It was impossible for Matthew to feel it was so close.
Just as he turned to look, the sound of high heels falling to the ground suddenly disappeared, and a girl's scream rang without warning.
"oops"
The girl with long blond hair suddenly fell.
