The following day, Levi was woken up by the sun burning on his body. Getting up from the bed, rubbing his still confused head, Levi walked to the window, closed the curtains, turned around, and was ready to fall asleep again.
But at this moment, the girl beside him also woke up.
"Good morning." Levi greeted, the girl seemed a little embarrassed, but she nodded and then squeezed a smile on her face.
It seems that she is sober.
Now that I think about it, it seems I am acting dishonestly. At the party yesterday, I didn't have such a plan at the beginning. The drunken girl has long thought about the consciousness of making sacrifices in exchange for opportunities, plus the help I gave her. Before he finished his words, she had pounced on him, and Levi didn't think much about it. Is it a sham, or should it be considered an unspoken rule?
Levi thought about this question in his mind for a second, and then he put it behind him: whatever it is, he is not the one who suffers anyway, so why bother with it?
Levi did not consider himself a gentleman and didn't reject these things, so why bother? He doesn't have a girlfriend, and he doesn't have any moral obsession. This kind of thing is not a bad thing but rather a good thing for him.
Looking at the undisguised plumpness of the still awake girl and the rounded curves under the quilt, Levi sighed in admiration: Anyway, at least this girl is gorgeous.
When the girl heard Levi's greeting, she also made an exaggerated embarrassment, then sat up from the bed with the quilt in between, "It seems that we drank too much last night."
"Yes, we both drank too much."
When did she drink too much? He was the one who told her that there could be an inside page shoot, so she got carried away happily. Seeing that she had finished her makeup and looked pretty good, Levi took the opportunity to immediately invite her to leave the annoying banquet scene and go for a walk, and she readily agreed. After a simple meal outside, Levi sent her off again. After returning to the hotel, Levi naturally wouldn't just leave foolishly.
Since time travel, he has been busy writing scripts and tossing about the company's affairs, so he should have a chance to rest and relax.
And the girl, how could she get drunk after only drinking a little? This is just an excuse to cover up for herself. However, since the girl wants to cover up herself, just follow her remark.
"It seems... Maybe... Wow, I don't know what to say." The girl opened her mouth and laughed again, and Levi smiled the same way: This girl was not stupid; she kicked the ball to Levi, let Levi show his attitude first, and then she would talk so that it won't be too embarrassing.
"What happened yesterday was a bit unexpected... But I am happy that this accident happened. It was a wonderful encounter to meet you, and I hope to leave you with a good memory, so let us finish this beautiful story. How about having breakfast together?"
Levi brought the topic to breakfast with a smile and asked the girl to get up and shower. It was hard to find a pastime, so Levi naturally will not let go easily. He didn't immediately turn the matter into a gag and then turned around and pretended not to know her was not because Levi liked her so much but because life was a bit boring these days.
Denise Richards... it's the girl's name. He has heard of this name before but doesn't have a deep impression of it. Since he has an impression, she should also be a good actor. He got up too early after being drunk, sleepy, and dizzy; it doesn't seem like a good place to think about the problem. However, when he thought of the name, Levi also suddenly thought: This seems to be a somewhat famous actor, and now he is going to shoot a TV series, so should he consider what role she should play in his TV series? Although the TV series is not yet approved, he has to think about it. This is just an actor he remembers, and if he wants to find, how many actors can he find whose names he remembers but still unknown? How many lives can your own TV series change?
As a time traveler, Levi has a clear memory of many people and the development trajectory of many things. This gave him a feeling that his life had been spoiled. So why not make some changes? What's the point of living alone in a world of spoilers?
How far can I do it? This question is also worth thinking about.
When Levi returned to his company, he found several old friends already sitting there.
"Why are you gathering here? Isn't the script finished?" Levi rubbed his head, walked into the room, and asked casually.
"There's nowhere else to go anyway, and besides, we all want to ask you—how was that girl last night? Did you get it?"
Word spread fast enough.
"What do you think? I did not discuss the film art development plan with a woman overnight." Levi glanced at them angrily. Levi's answer was exchanged for a whistle. It turned out to be the usually taciturn Michael. Unlike Clark and Alexander, who looked indifferent, Bob was quite embarrassed. Both he and Jack were quite interested in this, "How did you succeed?" "What can I say? She was very grateful to me, and then I asked her to send her back; of course, I didn't send her back immediately. I invited her to dinner, sent her back, and the rest is NC-17."
"Are you sure it's only NC-17 and not San Fernando?" Clark muttered.
"Anyway, I don't need to submit it for review." Levi smiled, "How did you spend last night? The script is finished, and I hope you all have a good rest, right?"
"Bob has a girlfriend, so it's good. Jack will have a good night as long as he goes to a place where there are women, and since I have money, why should I wrong myself to please women? Wouldn't it be better to spend some money to please them?"
"Michael, you really need to temper your life." Bob muttered, "Then we all came here today to find you. But a few guys haven't woken up yet and don't plan to wake up. Drinking early in the morning, what are you thinking?"
"Time is meaningless to alcoholics." Jack raised his head with a smile, "In the future, are you still planning to contact her?"
"It depends on the mood. Anyway, the script has been sent for review, and there is nothing to do these days. If I have free time, it is not impossible to find her again." Levi agreed casually, "Are you here just to hear my story? What's the matter?"
"Of course...Nick, maybe you can't imagine. ABC has called us back."
The efficiency of ABC is so fast. After their script was handed over to ABC, only one day later, Alexander came back with news. "The TV series script has been approved, and they asked us to shoot three episodes first." Alexander's news was excellent: "For the first episode, they placed an order of 4 million, and for the remaining two, the order is 3 million. A total of 10 million, shooting three episodes, things need to be handed over within two months."
"Their reply is quick, and the allocation is not stingy at all," Levi immediately lifted his spirits by listening to this sentence.
"Of course, your father's name is there. How could they be stingy?" Alexander shrugged. He is very clear about how much money these big companies will spend to establish relationships with those influential media. For film companies, when it comes time to do public relations for the film, the cost will never be less than four or five million US dollars. Ten million funds, to them, is nothing more than a small amount of money. If you can rely on this to get closer to Levi's father, what's wrong with it? Behind ABC is Disney, and Disney is not short of money.
Moreover, the investment of ten million is also because Levi's script is excellent. ABC Company also has its own appreciation. They can understand the changes an innovative TV series with many ideas may bring to the market. If it succeeds, Levi's TV series may immediately cause tremendous upheaval in the TV series market. This TV series may even seize the series "Law and Order."
ABC is not sure this script will succeed with Levi's shooting level but can still afford to spend 10 million for a possibility of success. And if they fail, how much is ten million to them? Just think of it as if throwing it away.
After calming down, Levi did understand: 10 million is only 10 million. Even if you order 30 such dramas in one go, the cost is only 300 million. This amount is not much compared with ABC's advertising revenue. For ABC, which urgently needs to turn around, it is urgent to produce new dramas, and of course, it will not be stingy with money. Moreover, calculating the possible expenses, this amount of money seems to be enough: although the materials and so on in the 1990s were relatively cheap, and the cost of filming TV dramas was also low, 3 million an episode is still not very generous.
"ABC's money has not yet arrived, but I have already contacted the entertainment company, and they are willing to provide us with a loan to allow us to start filming. If our TV series can pass smoothly, they request that the loan can be converted into an investment," said Alexander. There is more than one piece of news; he did quite a good job.
"That is to say, we will lose the losses, and they will share the profits." Clark briefly concluded.
"Capital is always more profitable than talent. That's why we need to accumulate capital." Alexander shrugged, "I've already done what I can do. Next, how to shoot a TV series, Nick, you give the order."
"When are you going to start filming? Nick, what about your woman?" Jack was a little surprised.
"Let's put women's affairs aside for now. Career is the most important thing for us now."
