Chapter 330: Megalomaniac Carl
In a closed shop, two groups of people stood on two sides, on one side was a middle-aged white fat man with a face like a ball and a body like a ball, and behind him stood more than 20 big men with carved dragon patterns and wolf figures, who were not good at stubble at first glance, and these big men also carried a gun around their waists, while on the other side were just tall and slender Chinese youths, and next to them were dozens of sealed wooden boxes, several of which had been opened, revealing the black and swarthy gun body inside, or yellow bullets. There were also two open silver boxes on the floor, neatly lined with dollars.
"Mr. Ye, happy cooperation!" A middle-aged fat man with a face like a ball and a body like a ball stretched out his chubby hand and said with a smile.
"Happy working together!" Ye Xuan smiled slightly, reached out and shook hands with the middle-aged fat man.
After shaking hands with Ye Xuan, the middle-aged fat man waved his hand to let his subordinates cover the cash box on the ground, and then withdrew from the store.
This transaction was negotiated between Ye Xuan and the owner of the gun shop yesterday afternoon, these guns that are enough to arm half a battalion are the largest business in this gun supermarket for more than half a year, in order to be cautious, so the owner of the gun shop even sent the manager of the gun shop to do this business, and brought more than 20 people over to be pompous. Of course, this can also be understood as the fact that the gun supermarket is afraid of encountering such a thing as black eating black.
They regarded Ye Xuan as a representative of a warlord in Huaxia, and in order to win over customers, they even sent an extra 100,000 rounds of heavy machine gun ammunition, 50,000 submachine gun bullets, 1,000 mortar shells, plus 100 powerful crossbows and 30,000 arrows, almost throwing out all the blood.
It's a pity that they never thought that there was no warlord behind Ye Xuan who they imagined, and they bought these things completely for their own use, and their abacus was completely empty.
The spiritual power wrapped all the wooden boxes on the ground, and with a movement of his mind, the wooden boxes that were originally placed on the ground suddenly disappeared into the air and appeared neatly in the storage space.
Look at the empty room. Ye Xuan's figure flashed, and he left this room.
After leaving the shop, Ye Xuan called a car and went to the docks, and when he arrived at the docks, he found Horn, the captain of the Adventure, and asked him if he could set sail, but unfortunately Horn said that he thought he would not go until tomorrow, and the supplies on the ship had not been completely prepared, and he would at least have to wait until the evening when the supplies were fully prepared before he could set sail. Hearing Captain Horn's words, Ye Xuan didn't make it difficult for him, just nodded and set sail at night. Then he left the dock and walked towards New York City.
And when Ye Xuan was wandering around in New York alone, in a viewing studio with the words Sauerman Associates, in the dark, several white men dressed in Keig were sitting in their places and looking at some boring animal clips playing on the silver screen not far in front of them, and Carl, who had talked to Ye Xuan about the chart before, was also sitting inside.
Suddenly, a white man with sparse hair sitting in front looked at the jumping monkey in the silver screen, took a puff of cigarette and asked, "How long is it?" ”
"And five reels of film!" A person in charge of the projection spoke up.
"Turn on the lights!" The white man swallowed a cigarette, and the white man with sparse hair said suddenly.
Syllable!
The lights in the room are turned on. Everyone was exposed to the light, and the studio was filled with the exception of Carl, the thinly haired white man, the person in charge of the plastic tray, and two other shareholders of the Sauermann Associates.
"Is this it? Danham, who cost us $40,000? Another adventure movie of yours? A gray-haired shareholder turned his head slightly. He said coldly to Karl behind him.
"You promised us that there would be Bruce. Baxter and Marlene. Romantic scenes from Mackenzie. Another shareholder also questioned.
"Guys, come less, you know our agreement, we all agreed to use Marlene's date as a selling point. But it's up to me to make the film, that's my principle. Carl explained.
"It's not a matter of principle, it's a question of money." The shareholder turned to look at Carl and said angrily.
"Carl. You've been filming for two months! The white man with sparse hair from before also spoke up.
"Trust me, as soon as you get on board, Bruce and Marlene will shine on the silver screen!" Carl was a little impatient, and at the same time broke out a piece of news that none of the company's shareholders knew.
"What ship?" The shareholder asked, frowning.
Karl gestured as a matter of course and said, "It's the boat we rented to take us to our destination." ”
"What destination? Carl, these should have been shot on the set. The shareholders were very unhappy.
"Yes, I understand, but now we're not making that movie!" Carl stood up from his position and walked out slowly, "I'll tell you why, the story has changed, the script has changed, and real life has intervened. ”
"I got a message, I think you should also know, there is a Chinese man who spent a million dollars to find a mysterious dead island chart, as long as we can go to that island to shoot, mysterious island, complete and mysterious civilization ruins, thrilling adventures, beautiful and romantic love, everyone think about it, this is absolutely crazy, ......" is different from the original book, because with Ye Xuan's intervention, this time Carl did not take out the mysterious chart, but changed the word.
"Hey, Carl, slow down!" A shareholder interrupted Carl, "Do you have that chart?" ”
Karl rolled his eyes and said, "No, but we can go to sea with that Huaxia man." ”
"Is he asking for more money?" One shareholder questioned.
"He's asking us to pay for the bamboo basket to fetch water!" The other shareholder gave Karl Dow a disgusted look.
"Gentlemen, can you imagine when a primitive world is put on the screen, it will definitely be world-shattering, and when the time comes, our Sauerman Associates will definitely become the first-class film company in the United States!" Carl continued to preach.
Several shareholders looked at each other for a moment, and then the previous shareholder said, "Can you go out for a while, Carl?" ”
Carl glanced at the three shareholders, smiled haughtily, and walked out.
After going out, Carl took a cup and placed it on the door panel to eavesdrop on the movement in the viewing room:
"Don't put him in the cold, guys, there's no doubt he's hot-headed, but Carl. Danham still has some interesting works, and many of his works are close to success! ”
"He's a self-proclaimed megalomaniac, he's ambitious, but he's not talented, and he's full of failures."
"I can understand your disappointment......"
"He doesn't know how to direct at all, he doesn't have that brain!"
"He's finished, everyone on earth knows it."
"This beam-jumping clown is going to bankrupt us!"
"Can these samples of animals sell for a price?"
"Of course, Universal really wants the expansion footage!"
"Then sell it and cancel the shooting!"
…………
Listening to the conversation inside, Carl's slightly chubby face gradually twisted a trace of hideous look, put the cup down casually, touched the sea drawing hidden in his trouser pocket, looked at the door panel and cursed in his heart: "You ** breeds, you don't know how to respect filmmakers at all, you wait for me, I, Carl, will definitely make you regret it." ”
With a cold snort, Carl strode out towards the company's door. (To be continued......)
