Chapter 568 Successful People
Quiet and secluded.
This is not common in Los Angeles, because it is surrounded by desert. The most common thing in the city is palm trees. The towering trunks completely support the world. The sparse branches and leaves cannot block the penetration of the sun. It is so transparent that it is difficult to see the face of the forest.
In front of me, dense trees stretched all the way in an orderly manner. Looking in from the street, I could only see large expanses of refreshing green. All the hustle and bustle was blocked out of the world.
Go straight, turn right, go straight again, turn left.
Then.
The vision suddenly becomes clearer.
There is a small fountain in front of you. A statue of the Bohemian Dionysus is pouring green spring water into the pool. It seems that you can also hear the singing of birds.
This made Edgar slightly startled, birdsong?
No, it must be an illusion. Is it the sea breeze dancing gently in your ears?
At a glance, Edgar saw Anson's familiar Aston Martin. He parked his Ford in the parking space next door, got out of the car and walked towards the gate.
Pushing open the door, Edgar felt that his eyes were a little weak. For a moment, he didn’t know whether he should look at the endless sea view at the end of the hall, the two-story high hall, or the left hand side. Along the way, you will be dazzled by the spirally carved staircase.
“Hey, Captain.”
There was a voice in his ear. Edgar grabbed the life-saving rope while feeling dizzy. He turned his head and looked over, just in time to see Anson coming down from the second floor. , like a superstar coming on stage, only then did he realize that he had been holding his breath, and quickly took a deep breath.
Anson noticed and smiled, "Don't be nervous, I'm just like you, I still haven't adapted yet, I always feel like a guest."
"So, I want you to be polite and treat this place as your home, but I can't say that."
A small joke successfully allowed Edgar to regain his composure.
Take a deep breath, Edgar also smiled, "This is a beginning, you will get used to it slowly."
Anson's steps came to the first floor, "From Jian to Enter Luxury is easy, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. I hope we don’t need to worry about the future.”
Johnny Depp, despite his considerable income, declared bankruptcy in 2017 because he was earning two hundred dollars every month. Tens of thousands of dollars in expenses, as well as countless inexplicable daily expenses, almost all of the $650 million in net worth he earned during his career of more than ten years was lost to him.
And, Johnny wasn’t the first, and he definitely wasn’t the last.
Edgar has seen a lot in Hollywood, and he couldn't help but smile, "Have you just moved into the mansion and are you already worried about the future?"
Anson shrugged lightly, "This is without seeing the first month's living bills."
"Haha." Edgar was also amused and couldn't help but look around again, "This decoration is simple and elegant, but it's It looks younger than expected. Is it left by the builder or the style of the previous owner? "But in fact, my father is not satisfied with the decoration, and he is going to do it himself." Without any understanding of interior design and decoration matching, his opinion is not important.
In fact, Charles's original words were: Don't worry, wait until I do it myself.
Johnny Depp's project may take some time, but Charles has already begun ideas for the Anson residence and plans to spend some time in Los Angeles.
Including Nora also said that she would come over to help after she was done with what she was doing.
Seeing that Charles and Nora were both preparing to come to Los Angeles, Lucas was also ready to make a move.
In this regard, Anson said that there are many rooms anyway and he is not worried about not being able to accommodate them.
Edgar raised his chin slightly, and his expression immediately became serious.
Anson noticed it and laughed dumbly, "Captain, my father shouldn't be that scary."
Edgar had a noncommittal expression on his face: he refused to comment.
This made Anson laugh happily.
Edgar has directly changed the subject, "Have you finished reading the script?"
"Yes. I like it very much." Anson didn't go around in circles and went straight to the point. Although he has been busy during this period, looking at houses and moving, and also took time to go to the premiere of "Suspicion", there was no time to breathe; but Anson still took the time to read the script of "The Butterfly Effect" carefully——
As expected, he liked it.
The feeling of watching a movie is slightly different from the previous life. Reading the script now is a brand new project that allows Anson to freely develop according to his own imagination.
The same story can be opened in a different way.
It's fun and different than any other project I've done so far.
Edgar's eyes lit up, "I knew it!"
Anson motioned Edgar to sit down, "What to drink? Although I just checked in, Luca helped me fill it up before leaving. Refrigerator and wine cabinet."
"Milk?" Edgar gave an unexpected answer. Anson turned around and explained, "I was hungover last night and I'm a little out of shape now."< br>
Anson laughed, "I understand."
Watching Anson enter the open kitchen, Edgar continued to ask, "So, are you willing to take on this project?"
"Of course." Anson's voice came from the kitchen, holding a A bucket of milk and a...whiskey glass came over, and noticing Edgar's stunned expression, he had to explain, "The utensils are still waiting to be replenished, and to be honest, I don't think there is a difference."
Ed. Edgar laughed out loud, "At least it's not a champagne glass."
Anson spread his hands, "I don't have a champagne glass for the time being, and you can't even try it if you want to."
Edgar watched as he fell. Milk in a short whiskey glass, I felt inexplicably relaxed, "Actually, I have contacted two screenwriters."
"Both of you?" Anson asked.
Edgar nodded, "This script was written jointly by two screenwriters, and they were also preparing to join forces as directors, but precisely because of this, they faced some difficulties because neither of them had directing experience before."
Like actors, screenwriters, directors, producers, etc. are all the same. If it is the first time, they will often face challenges. The first step is:
Looking for investment.
If it was George Clooney, it would be a different matter. Later, George turned into a director and was able to easily attract investment. Then he called on a group of senior actors to take over, even if it was his first time. It doesn't matter if it's the director, his name is a golden signature.
But how many does George Clooney have?
Sure enough.
Edgar continued, "They still haven't found an investor. I didn't mention who my agent was, but I told them that I was confident of finding an investor, and they seemed very excited."
Anson looked up and saw Edgar looking over with a smile on his face.
"Me?" Anson said.
Edgar nodded, "If your name is linked to this project, believe me, it won't take a day before a producer will be interested."
Edgar seemed very confident.
Anson shook his head, "I don't think so. Although I have some achievements now, Hollywood still has doubts about my box office appeal."
"'Spider-Man', rely on It’s the aura of superheroes and original comics, not me.”
“If it’s Brad Pitt? Of course, no problem; but if it’s me, it might still take some effort.”
“The point is, do I need to be a producer?”
“Then that’s a different story.”
