[Chapter 273]
Homer froze on the spot.
'What did I hear David say just now?
'He'll invest ten… one billion dollars first?
'He'll top up if it's insufficient later on?'
If the funds were at his disposal, he was confident that the film would become famous both locally and abroad.
By then, he could take the next step and become an internationally renowned director.
Although he was now a locally renowned director, his status was greatly different from an internationally renowned director, though there was only a one-word difference in the title.
Just look at any internationally renowned director's premiere. Their appeal was more than ten times stronger than for the films he had released.
It seemed that he had been kicked out of the equation.
He had been pulling the strings for the film. However, as soon as the money was in place, it seemed there was nothing left for him to do once Hannah got in touch with the screenwriter and producer to find a new director.
'What should I do?
'Is my opportunity to get promoted to an internationally renowned director going to slip away before my very own eyes?'
Homer felt his blood pressure rise and his head feel heavy at that moment.
He hated his mouth for being so mean!
He would have knelt and apologized to David if they were not in front of so many members of the entertainment industry around.
Not only did he want the opportunity, but he also wanted David's forgiveness.
David was an affluent heir, and he had offended him.
If David gave him any trouble, it was doubtful he would be able to continue in the entertainment industry.
Hugo and Hannah exchanged contact details. They could handle the rest themselves, so David was leaving them alone.
A small investment valued at about one billion dollars was nothing to him, but he could develop this right away through this investment.
After the matter was settled, Hugo went downstairs to continue his work. Although it was time to get off work, he still had to work overtime to take care of some contracts, which he did voluntarily. After all, David was paying him five times the salary of his previous employer.
David retreated and sat in the corner.
Homer was standing not far away from David, wondering how to find an opportunity to explain to David.
Mr. Wilson was a little embarrassed. These people did not even take him into account when discussing. He was a little dissatisfied at first.
Gradually, he discovered that David was not someone he could afford to offend. He seemed to be the heir of a powerful family.
'F*ck this!
'i'll just leave obediently and quietly!'
Hannah pulled Marie aside and asked, "Marie, how do you know Mr… Lidell?"
"Hannah, didn't I tell you? I met Mr. Lidell the last time I was in Lake City. He even saved my life!" Marie said.
"How did you know him? Be more specific!"
"Mr. York slapped me twice the last time I was in Lake City. He also wanted me to sleep with him. Mr. Lidell saved me back then. When we met at the charity party again, he not only spent five million dollars on a dance with me but also spent one hundred million dollars on his own song and donated the money. He's such a kind person!" Marie said somewhat cheerfully.
He saved her from Mr. York of Lake City.
He also gave away over one hundred million dollars at a charity gala.
David must be an heir from an affluent family!
