Chapter 54 Happy Cooperation
The golden sunshine dances on the balcony covered with green vines. The waiters in shirts and suits skillfully walk through the crowd carrying a four-layer dessert tray, and the air is filled with There is a lazy and leisurely atmosphere, and the pace of time seems to slow down in the morning after the party.
Finally, the waiter stopped at a table by the window, crossed his legs and bowed slightly.
"Mr. Star."
After greeting politely, a bronze face wearing sunglasses raised his head, gently nodded his head, covered the receiver of the mobile phone, and stopped talking. After receiving permission, the waiter put the dessert down, carefully arranged the table settings, bowed again to greet you, and left silently.
At this time, Darren Star put the phone to his ear again.
Sunglasses are to prevent the sun from stinging your hungover eyes, and also to prevent acquaintances from coming and going to say hello——
This is a default signal, it is inconvenient now, so even if If you see it, please pretend you didn't see it and leave immediately.
At least, that's the case in Hollywood.
"David, don't think that I don't understand your calculations. You know, I know, and I don't mind. For Anson, this is indeed an opportunity, but you should know that we need Take the risk, after all, this is Brad Pitt. In fact, we can sell Brad a favor, which will not only clarify the misunderstanding, but also expose your plan to Brad. At that time, we will work with Brad. Virtue becomes a friend.”
"Oh, Darren, dear Darren, you shouldn't do this to me. Have you forgotten? In the beginning, I agreed to your request without any hesitation."
"Yes, of course I didn't Forgot. So, I'm talking to you right now. To be honest, I haven't decided whether I should call him yet."
Darren, not in a hurry or nervous. , with a posture of sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, after a brief period of confusion and haste, he immediately grasped the key points.
The person on the other end of the phone was David Klein.
Is it a surprise for David Klein?
No.
David Klein had anticipated this before making the call.
Perhaps Darren’s business operation ability is slightly inferior; but Darren’s negotiation and public relations skills are definitely top-notch. Even when facing HBO executives, Darren’s sharp tongue can still flash.
Despite this, David Klein couldn't help but complain, "Ha, you old fox. God! To be honest, do you owe Anson's parents some debt of gratitude?"
"That's my business. But David, let's open the skylight and speak frankly. This matter is good for you, me, Anson, and everyone. We are very willing to cooperate."
"That would be great, what are we discussing now?"
"Some reward. David, if this thing finally comes to pass, what number are you seeking? You should not be prepared to reveal some information. Go ahead."
"Jesus Christ, Darren, you're ruining Anson's career prospects."
"No, I'm not greedy, you know, PR. , reporting, promotion, in addition to Anson’s salary.”
You come and I go, swords and swords.
The whole confrontation had already exchanged multiple attacks and defenses in the blink of an eye.
Then, David Klein heard a key point. He was a little helpless and a little funny. He looked up at the sky and paused, "...the current number is not enough?"
" Not enough. Anson has filmed two episodes in a row and is now on the third episode. You know, if there is a sequel, the actor's salary will also need to increase. Although this is not a sequel, it is also not planned. "
"Darren, you are just a shameless old fox."
"Thank you for the compliment, each other."
"Okay. I get it - eighty. Darren, if you dare to say a hundred at this time, I will hang up now."
The eighty here is not eight hundred thousand dollars. , but "eighty thousand (80,000)", which is eighty thousand dollars.
In the blink of an eye, David Klein judged the situation, decisively gave a number, and promptly cut off Darren's way of continuing to bargain.
Darren could also sense David Klein's decisiveness. He immediately swallowed the "one hundred thousand dollars" that was already on his lips and gave it up. "Happy cooperation."
Seeing Darren so happy, David Klein suddenly became suspicious, "Damn guy... I can trust you, right? Your public relations resources are also mobilized. Darren, I need this. The push of power.”
Darren did not continue to explain. One sentence was enough, "David, I said, happy cooperation." "Happy cooperation."
Pa——
< br>The words did not continue, and the other end of the phone was hung up.
Darren glanced at the screen of his mobile phone, and then realized that his sunglasses were blocking his vision, so he lowered his eyes and looked over the glasses frame.
Indeed, hung up.
However, Darren didn’t mind, and the smile on his lips rose slightly.
David Klein needs his cooperation and help to reveal all the plans; Darren understands everything at once and understands his old friend's plans immediately.
If you think about it seriously, this matter will be beneficial to the "Friends" crew and Anson; moreover, Darren can also sell David Klein a favor, which not only does not require the favor that arranged Anson's audition in the first place Pay off the debt, and you can also wait for David Klein's future returns. The transaction is definitely a good deal.
What's more, if "Friends" can break the salary structure, it will also be a good thing for "Sex and the City".
In Darren's opinion, David Klein is indeed great -
One opportunity, one accident.
Actually, it was not a big deal at all, but David Klein captured the connection between the things. He not only killed decisively, but also acted decisively.
Have courage and courage.
Of course, Darren did not hesitate to give in. He assessed the situation, made judgments in a flash, followed David Klein's thinking, and maximized the interests for Anson and himself on the spot. One phone call was the most In less than five minutes, the two top producers have already completed their confrontation and cooperation.
As Darren said, great to work with.
Buzz. Buzz buzz.
Outside the door, there was an engine roar.
Darren subconsciously looked out. Not only him, but the guests enjoying brunch were all looking out inquiringly in twos and threes.
The one coming is not a sports car.
In Los Angeles, all kinds of sports cars emerge in endlessly, which are still attractive to tourists and citizens, who are keen to take stock of the luxury cars on the streets; but for industry bosses like Darren, sports cars have long been Without the appeal, they are all the same anyway.
Unless it is a limited edition.
But in front of me, this is not the case.
At this time, what appeared in front of us was a motorcycle.
If there are professionals at the scene, you can tell at a glance that this car should be the 007 James Bond car that appeared in "Tomorrow Never Dies", the BMW R1200C.
Capable, concise and chic.
Stop and turn off the engine. The man in the leather jacket walked down neatly. His long legs were particularly eye-catching. His tall and slender body and well-proportioned and strong lines shone under the golden sunshine of California. Hui easily aroused a discussion at the scene.
Even Darren was no exception. He was not interested at all, but he still looked over.
Then.
The man took off his helmet, raised his hand to straighten his messy short golden brown hair, and the smile on his lips bloomed in the sun, taking away the breath of the entire audience in an instant.
"Hey, Uncle Darren."
