Chapter 205 Enjoying life, crushing the judges, two acquaintances
What can two billion do?
Poverty limited Kate's imagination.
Assuming that she can live to be a hundred years old, based on the salary she received from "Titanic" and the time she paid, Roland's net worth can buy her at least twenty lifetimes.
That is two thousand years!
Yi Xiaochuan has only lived for two thousand years!
It's a pity that I only met Yushu for a while...
If counted by her consumption, it would be even more.
She can accept fly restaurants on the side of the road, and she can move in and out freely in high-end places that require reservations. Only the cost of the facade is the big one, and the rest are not worth mentioning.
Although she has met many rich people and talked to many nobles, those people give her a completely different feeling from Roland. If it is said that those guys have all kinds of superiority and money piled up Satisfaction and superior attitude, then Roland gave her the feeling of disregard and respect.
Disregard for money, respect for family.
This kind of situation is difficult for the rich, because money is the root of everything they have.
This kind of situation is also difficult to find in nobles, because money is all that maintains their good life.
but…
Roland doesn't seem to really care about how much money he has. His goal of earning money is to make his family happy. As long as they are happy, he will be happy too.
Roland's Buddhist attitude is what really attracts Kate, because she knows that the consequence of being obsessed with career is the indifference of other relationships, and this kind of Buddhist attitude also makes her think that Roland is the kind of person who goes with the situation, because only A guy who is very easy to satisfy is such a buddhist, but now...
Things seem different?
"Yes, those are my properties."
"What's wrong?"
Roland twisted his body, resting his chin on one hand, and lay down on his side along the vacancy of the recliner left by Kate.
Looking at the face that was within reach, Kate, who was embracing her hands, wanted to move back, but as soon as she moved, she found that she was lying down next to the handle.
"Are you afraid of me?" Seeing that Kate wanted to escape, Roland said, "I'm not a devil, what are you hiding from?"
"I didn't hide, I was just thinking, how do you have so much money?" Knowing that she couldn't keep the distance, Kate gave up her plan to get up, and said bluntly: "The feeling you give me is nothing at all. It's not like someone with this much money..."
"Why?" Roland smiled.
The other party asked this question, and Kate did not hide it, "Because I have never heard that a guy with a net worth of two billion would go to the Berlin Film Festival to give clothes to the actress he is about to cooperate with..."
"Because I've never heard of a guy with a net worth of two billion who will be dumbfounded and silent when he wakes up the next morning and finds that the bed sheets are bright red..."
"Because I've never heard of a guy with a net worth of two billion who can cook..."
"The feeling you gave me before was actually a very kind actor, born as a commoner, not a rich man with a lot of money..."
"Because you have done all the things that the rich can't do. For them, time is money, and they won't waste the time of earning money on other things, but for you, time is to enjoy the money brought A unit of calculation for pleasure, what you think about all the time is not how much money you can earn if you do this thing well, but how much happiness I can bring me by doing this..."
Kate is telling the truth.
If before, Roland gave her the impression that she was the highest-level person in the entertainment industry, who belonged to a guy with the same status as Spielberg, even though she and Roland had such a sense of being on the top, they could still be regarded as well-matched , combined within the circle.
Well now, that's not the case...
Roland is not a pure filmmaker at all?
He is a capitalist?
This kind of thing Kate never thought of!
It's not that Roland is bad, but that Roland's actions are completely incompatible with his identity!
Those who can make their careers bigger when they are young, who is not energetic and high-spirited during the struggle?
What about Roland?
After sleeping with him for a year, what Kate saw the most was Roland smiling when he was in trouble, how could he have the spirit of an entrepreneur?
Who made a big career when he was young, who didn't point the country and scold the sky, wanting to compete with the God of Heaven?
What about Roland?
good for everyone…
Even when facing the Weinstein brothers, Roland smiled. He seemed not interested in all this, but he was still doing these things.
This is Kate, the most contradictory part right now.
It is also the biggest change in Roland's life.
In his previous life, he worked hard to climb up, but when he was nearing the end of his life, he realized that the memories in his mind were all unpleasant efforts and helplessness.
And in this life...
Of course, hard work is necessary, but after reading the answer, his ultimate goal is not to climb up at all, but to live comfortably, so as not to still have regrets when life reaches the end.
Money is earned, but people are gone before it is spent. What are you trying to do?
Let someone pay you to sleep with your woman?
What a joke!
"Can't figure it out?"
Roland raised his hand and stroked Kate's cheek.
"I can't figure it out."
Kate didn't dodge, and looked at Roland quietly.
"It's actually very simple, because I think life is more important..." Roland, who rested his chin on one hand, lay down completely, "I'm just asking you, you said you won't get an Oscar, and you might regret it when you get old, so how about that?" If you win the Oscar, can you guarantee that you will not encounter other troubles in your life?"
"Performance is just a reflection of a group of people's life. Some people enter the industry because they like it, and some people enter the industry to make a living. But no matter what the reason is, after the performance is over, everyone's wish is actually to return to life..."
"The screen is glamorous, but behind the screen is secretly sad. For me, this is not an interpretation of art, but a self-escape in life..."
"And what are they running from?"
"Unhappy things in life..."
“So, when I entered the industry, I told myself that what I like is just the movie itself. It can be reflected in different professions such as screenwriter, director, and actor. If I want to like it purely…”
"I have to be rich."
"I earn money to better satisfy my various hobbies, and to satisfy my various hobbies is to make life more colorful..."
"So, I don't want to show off too much, because many people feel that the things that can be shown off, for me, are just a part of satisfying my own life. Since they are tools, they have no meaning of being promoted, and I really What I want to show is also what people envy, and it is actually my comfortable life..."
"I want to be close to you, I don't want to watch you suffer from the cold, so I will send you clothes, because this is life..."
"I want to cook three meals for you when you are sick, so I will do it for you, because this is also life..."
"I want to take time off to vacation with you, so let's go on vacation because it's still life..."
"It is true that the things that support all of this are money and power, but the good things I cherish are not money or power, but the good times I spent them in exchange for. This is what I should remember..."
"Life...?" Kate muttered.
"Yes, it's life."
Roland emphasized again, and asked, "Don't you have the idea of ??enjoying life?"
"Like James, he enjoys life."
"He makes movies, but he prefers to dive."
"Same goes for Steven."
"He makes movies, but he plays games when he has nothing to do."
"George more so."
"Star Wars is over, he's enjoying life, and the rest... what does it matter to him?"
"The idea of ??enjoying life?" Kate repeated Roland's words, frowned and thought about it for a moment, then shook her head and said: "What I have been in contact with most since I was a child is acting. When I was growing up, acting was my life. I think about how to play the role well every day, so, according to what you said, I..."
"There is no life."
Seems to have guessed what Kate would say, Roland pinched the earlobe of the other party, and continued to ask: "What about other ideas? You will definitely have this..."
"Other ideas?" Speaking of this, Kate was stunned for a moment, then lowered her eyes very guilty, not daring to look at Roland, "Of course I have other ideas..."
"It's just that I used to practice filming every day, so there are very few other ideas, and there is only one that can be remembered deeply..."
"In 1990, I fell in love with a boy and thought he was so cute. In the summer of 1991, when I saw him crying on the screen, I wanted to touch his head. In the summer of 1993, that protective The figure of my sister made me feel that he had grown up, and in the summer of 1994, seeing Gan in the eyes gave me the urge to sleep with him..."
"Then I kept holding back."
"And now..."
"Not only did I give him my first time, I was also the first to sleep with him, and most importantly, I slept with him for a whole year..."
"And in the process, I found that this kind of life is actually quite comfortable..."
"Perhaps this is the beautiful life you said I really want..."
I…
Roland froze.
Open your mouth slightly.
Can't make any sound...
He could have sworn he really just wanted to enlighten Kate about life and acting, but…
If he knew that Kate's biggest idea besides acting was to sleep with herself and sleep with her feelings, then he would never bring up these **** things!
Absolutely not!
After all, he is a guy with a net worth of two billion, and the woman boasted that she had slept with him for a whole year. How strange is that?
But it seemed that she felt Roland's stiffness. After speaking, Kate grabbed Roland's hand to prevent him from escaping from her cheek.
"Roland, I understand what you mean, and I also understand your thoughts. If I were you, if I had such a net worth, I would not be able to accept the idea of ??continuing to act."
"However, after all, acting is something I have been doing for more than ten years. Give me some time. I will try to forget about the Oscars. During this period, you will be the producer. I hope that the day I don't care, you can still Continue to accept me."
Kate has made it very clear that she wants to admit defeat now, but she can't pass the test in her heart.
But to Roland, this was simply a gesture of surrender, because—
"You mean, if you get an Oscar and I accept you, you will quit?"
"Yes."
Then this...
too easy…
Kate wants to win the actress?
Then let her be crowned queen with "Titanic"!
This matter is too easy for Roland!
"Titanic" is produced by Fox, so it's okay for Roland to ask Fox to help Kate in the Olympics, right?
Sony is now pointing to Roland that he can go back and continue filming the sequel of "Spider-Man". It's okay for Roland to let them help Kate in the Olympics, right?
Get two of them.
The remaining Warner, Universal, Paramount, and Disney all want to cooperate with the sensible Roland, and now Roland can also cooperate with them!
Disney does want The Lord of the Rings, but what are their fundamentals?
Paradise!
"Spider-Man", which has been developed and is sure to be successful, is authorized to be a paradise for you!
Do you want it or not?
If you want it, then authorize it at a low price!
The requirements are not high, so I will do my best to help Kate compete in the Olympic Games!
Didn't Universal want his Lord of the Rings?
cooperate!
The requirements are not high, so I will do my best to help Kate compete in the Olympic Games!
Paramount doesn't have a project?
Do not make jokes!
For the project "Saving Private Ryan", DreamWorks has already reached a cooperation agreement with Paramount!
Although Roland has not contacted Spielberg so far, he wants to participate, the producer, the investor, the director, who would refuse?
Roland participated in the show with zero pay, only one requirement.
Do your best to help Kate compete in the Olympics!
As for the remaining Warners who have no bargaining chips, the two parties have never exchanged and cooperated?
And it is impossible for Warner to make Marvel movies?
It doesn't matter!
Harry Potter should be finished!
As long as it is listed, it can be negotiated!
The basis of cooperation is to help Kate compete in the Olympics!
If Warner only wants "The Lord of the Rings", that's okay, X-Men and "Harry Potter" are for Universal! Anyway, he has a lot of resources!
Not only that, but there is also a Jewish gang...
Problem, isn’t it solved?
Anyway, Roland doesn't want to use his own funds to make movies. He holds the copyright, sells some investment shares, and makes up the rest himself. This is the maximization of benefits.
Like Spielberg.
And the works for the Olympic Games every year are basically produced by the six major industries, with different interests and different ideas.
However, if the interests are different, let them be the same!
And when their wills are the same, what the Oscar judges want to express will also be the same!
That’s right, the list of Oscar judges is not public, but for the Big Six, who is the publicist, they can’t be clearer. One said that the judges might not respond, but what about the six at the same time?
Those judges are trying to fart?
Oscar was originally a public relations game, and Roland did not believe that the things selected by people were absolutely fair. He only believed that fists were the greatest justice. He firmly believed that truth was only within the range of cannons!
It doesn't matter if the Oscar judges don't like it.
Because I like it, you have to like it!
I said Kate is the actress, so she must be!
Dissatisfied?
It doesn't matter!
The six big players who want to eat huge profits can hit your server!
"you sure?"
Thinking of this, Roland also became happy.
Because Kate's retirement is just around the corner!
"certainly."
Kate nodded, "If I win the Oscar, don't tell me to quit the circle, just go to church and marry you without changing the dress."
"Okay, you remember what you said today."
Roland pinched the opponent's cheek.
"Just remember it."
Kate didn't take it seriously, and at the same time she got up, she thought she still had a chance to act and asked: "Oh, by the way, I actually never knew, why do you like me? Like me, you just thought I was pretty at first." Sleep with me?"
"No…"
Roland shook his head and told the truth, "If you say, I liked you in my previous life, would you believe it?"
"Have you ever liked me in your previous life?"
However, Kate, as a woman, is directly like the blind monk who discovered Huadian, "You mean, you liked me for a while, and then you don't like me anymore?"
Damn it...
Roland's head was full of black lines.
Why do women focus differently from men!
Shouldn't you be moved by the liking in your previous life?
Looking at Roland without saying a word, just burying her head in organizing things, Kate, who knew it well, leaned over and said, "Hmph, don't you think I don't know?"
"A man is always a virtue."
"Twenty-year-old men still like twenty-year-old beauties, thirty-year-old men still like twenty-year-old beauties, forty-year-old men still like twenty-year-old beauties, young people are you nature."
"I heard before, you like a girl from Francis Coppola's side?"
"What's Scarlett called? She'll be a beauty when she grows up?"
"Humph..."
"Do you know what price you have to pay after you let me quit the circle according to your ideas?"
"You may still have the energy to see those young and beautiful girls in the future, but I promise, you can only think about it in your head..."
"After I quit the circle, I will be very free, and once I am free... forty times in three days, do you dare to try?"
While speaking, she hugged Roland from behind, stroking his waist with her hands.
Such a hint made Roland's face darken.
He suddenly felt that he might be a little hasty?
"Uh..." Roland swallowed and changed the subject, "Do you have any projects you want to shoot now?"
"I can get it for you."
"Heh... I don't want to film now..."
Kate, who had already seen what Roland was thinking, laughed, "Man..."
"You are all the same."
Unfortunately, as a serious person, Roland doesn't have the habit of keeping a diary, otherwise, he would definitely write on December 30, 1996:
"In the end, I still carried everything alone."
...
Regardless of whether it is hasty or not, when Kate goes to Roland's house for Christmas and listens to the annual report on group affairs, she returns to the crew, then she really considers herself Roland's real girlfriend.
From head to toe, from the inside to the outside, she takes care of everything.
She threw away all the cheap clothes that Roland liked to wear before, and only her own endorsement was retained.
The new clothes are all picked by Kate herself.
In Kate’s words, it means that if I dress up beautifully, it will give you a long face, and if you dress up handsomely, it will make me proud…
Since Kate has said so, it would be really boring if Roland refuses, besides, this kind of feeling of living is actually quite good...
While the two established a real relationship, the filming of "Titanic" was also coming to an end.
After soaking in the water for two months, the truck driver finally declared the completion of the project.
That night, he returned to Los Angeles with the precious film and entered the editing process, and Roland also took Kate to Irvine to participate in the upcoming Blizzard Entertainment Annual Meeting to celebrate.
However, when he stepped into the gate of Blizzard and hugged the Blizzard Big Three and the Blizzard North Big Four with a big laugh, the two people who appeared at the welcome scene made Roland's smile froze on his face.
Sensing something was wrong, and following Roland's line of sight, Mike Mohamy, who had been by Roland's side to introduce him to the Blizzard Big Four, immediately smiled and said: "Oh, Roland, they are not from the company... they are My friend, I happened to be here today for something..."
"The one on the left is called Lawrence, and the one on the right is called Sergey. They are both students of Stanford..."
