"Hi, Duke. ◇↓,"
Seeing the oncoming middle-aged man, Duke took a step forward and shook his stretched hand gently, "Hi, Larry."
Then he turned his head, nodded to David Ellison who was following Larry Ellison, and said, "Sit down."
This is a reception room in the Duke’s Manor. It is often used by Duke to receive heavyweight guests. Although I can’t understand Ellison and his son, the two sides are more enemies than friends, but Duke will not ignore what they represent. Capital and power.
No one can underestimate Larry Ellison.
Larry Ellison and David Ellison then greeted Scarlett Johansson again and sat on the two single sofas opposite Duke. Scarlett Johansson temporarily acted as a waiter. Served them coffee.
However, these two people obviously did not come to the Duke’s Manor to be a guest or to taste coffee. They did not even look at the two cups of Blue Mountain coffee, their eyes were always on Duke.
Can roughly guess the reason and purpose of the father and son, Duke is not worried, sitting in his seat, also looking at Larry Ellison and David Ellison.
Larry Ellison's face is inherently jealous, but the eyes that look at Duke are somewhat complicated.
David Ellison wrote almost all his thoughts on his face, his eyes staring at Duke as sharp as a knife, and unwillingness hidden in them.
Duke's energy is basically put on Larry Ellison, in front of him and Larry Ellison, David Ellison has no right to speak at all.
After placing the coffee pot, Scarlett Johansson sat next to Duke, gently wrapped his arm with one hand, and closed his mouth tightly, after years of getting along. She knew very well that she didn't need to speak anything herself at this time.
Larry Ellison withdrew his gaze, but sighed in his heart. To some extent, the man opposite was just like him, with outstanding ability and starting from scratch. Created huge wealth.
But he saw more, but the other person was different from him. Duke Rosenberg's personality was more calm, and his calm face concealed a deep heart.
This is not a good person to deal with!
After years of observation, Larry Ellison finally confirmed this, but it was a bit late, and the price to be paid may be a bit heavy.
However, he was mentally prepared before coming, and paying a certain price was more cost-effective than David Ellison's involvement in a murder scandal and a tangled lawsuit.
Anyway. David Ellison is his son.
"Duke..." Larry Ellison's eyes returned to this side, "David has decided to quit Hollywood."
Hearing this, Duke couldn't help but smile, and turned to look at David Ellison, "This is a wise decision."
David Ellison pressed the armrest of the sofa hard, but said nothing.
There are some things that both sides don't need to say, and there is no need to say it. Larry Ellison spoke again. "David is my only son."
As if he didn't understand the hidden meaning in this sentence, Duke said slowly. "There are some things that will cost you if you do it."
Larry Ellison's face sank. He knew that things weren't so easy to solve. "Go ahead, Duke, what do you want."
recently. Duke put a lot of pressure on the Los Angeles police, but his purpose was not to track down whether David Ellison was the main messenger behind the scenes, and that would not do him any good.
Even if it was found out that David Ellison was behind the scenes and sent him to prison, what benefits would he get? Will also become a rival of Larry Ellison.
and so. Duke pondered slightly, recalling the relevant information collected by Tina Fei, and said, "Since David is leaving Hollywood, Sky Film Studio..."
"This movie studio is already insolvent," Larry Ellison said, taking a look at his son. "It will soon declare bankruptcy."
"Bankrupt?" Duke shook his head slowly, "That's it, you peel off the debt of Sky Film Studio, and then..."
He held out a finger, "I bought the remaining shell company for ten million dollars."
Larry Ellison frowned slightly, and the irritation in David Ellison's eyes became more obvious.
Hearing Duke’s words, Scarlett Johansson was stunned at first. She didn’t understand why Duke wanted to buy Sky Studios, and then she wanted to understand that if the debts of Sky Studios were divested, the company would be worth one Ten million dollars.
After all, Sky Film Studio has the copyright of many films.
But Scarlett Johansson didn't read the latest relevant information, and of course he didn't know that Sky Studio had something more valuable.
"Father!" David Ellison finally couldn't help but speak.
Last month, after Sky Studios signed a formal cooperation agreement with Universal Pictures and Paramount Pictures, they have paid the two companies for the "Fast and Furious" series and the "Star Trek" series and the "Jurassic" A considerable share of the initial investment of "Ji Shijie"......
Obviously, Duke Rosenberg, who was opposite him, took a fancy to these, and these were his last capital.
Duke knows very well that with the mind and vision of Larry Ellison and David Ellison, he can definitely see what he wants.
The world has never had the gains it deserves without paying.
The "Fast and Furious" series and the "Star Trek" series and the corresponding investment and income rights of "Jurassic World" are not clear to others, but Duke knows how valuable it is, even if the "Fast and Furious" series has no scope? Diesel, also has enough value.
Of course, everyone has a bottom line.
For example, Duke, his bottom line is his mother and Scarlett Johansson, no one can hurt them.
Duke didn’t talk about the Internet in front of Larry Ellison, and didn’t mention Oracle. He only talked about the film industry. He knew that this would give him enough income and would not touch Larry Ellison’s bottom line. .
After all, this is not a world and society that can be reckless, even people of his and Larry Ellison level must follow certain rules of the game, and David Ellison broke the rules of the game before, now There is a price to pay.
David Ellison looked at Larry Ellison and said remindingly, "Father..."
Larry Ellison raised his right hand and interrupted David Ellison's words. He took a deep look at Duke. At the same time, he admired a little, and then said, "Waiting for the debt of Sky Film Studio After the divestiture, let your people contact my people and complete the transfer agreement as soon as possible."
Duke nodded slightly.
The two parties also reached an agreement on this, but did not talk about specific matters. Whether it is Duke or Larry Ellison, they are actually very clear about the role that money can play in this country, as long as Duke no longer treats Los Angeles. With pressure from the police, Larry Ellison will have plenty of room for manipulation.
This is enough for Larry Ellison.
The two sides are neither friends nor partners. After reaching a tacit understanding in this regard, they are too lazy to say anything. Larry Ellison and his son leave, and Duke asks the housekeeper Emma to send them out of the eye-shaped villa.
"Just forget it?"
In the living room, Scarlett Johansson seemed a little unwilling, "Just let David Ellison go?"
"We just stopped putting pressure on the Los Angeles police." Duke sat back on the sofa. "Will the incident involve David Ellison in the end? It has nothing to do with us."
In the following ten days, the Ellison family stripped Sky Film Studio’s debt as quickly as possible, and then completed the transaction with Duke. Duke directly merged the shell company into Lucasfilm. Among them, not to mention the "Fast and Furious" series and the "Star Trek" series, just the investment shares obtained in "Jurassic World" will be able to obtain terrible returns in the future.
A lot of the power behind it is missing. The North American entertainment market, which has been turbulent since the beginning of May, has gradually returned to quiet. Especially the focus of the entertainment media has returned more to celebrity gossip and its works.
On the Internet, a fan of Duke spontaneously launched an event Duke Rosenberg has been in the film for 22 years, to the movie time we spent with.
Countless fans left messages on this event.
"What does Duke's movies mean to your life? If someone asks me this question, my answer is that I don't know why I love Duke's movies, but I just love it!"
This is an ordinary movie fan from Texas, and "Duke Bluffs" from other regions are also rushing to leave a message.
A fan in Los Angeles wrote,
Duke’s movies are my lifelong companion. It remembers the past life and can also show the future time. And I live with them in the present. I love Duke Rosen. Berg! I love this movie!"
There is also a crazy "Duke blowing" on the East Coast. A fan in New York left a message, "Every time a Duke movie is released, when I walk into the theater and sit in my seat, I can feel that I have entered a new The world; when the lights on the screen are on, I know that it is a journey that belongs to me and Duke Rosenberg. There, I can forget the distress and troubles in reality, free to explore and forget feelings Laugh!"
"Duke Blow" lives in this world in various forms, and only the movies that meet Duke will reveal the real body, "I remember history, beliefs, attitudes, and dreams in one thing, that It is Duke Rosenberg’s movie. I am grateful for his movie to appear in my life and bring more value to my shallow life."
"A person's life is short, so there are many regrets. The charm of Duke movies lies in allowing you to experience a different life in this short time and to make up for the beauty that you have lost in your heart." (To be continued.)
