Chapter 879: The price paid

Hi, Duke.

Seeing the middle-aged man walking towards him, Duke stepped forward to meet him, and lightly shook his extended hand, Hi, Larry.

Then, he turned his head, nodded to David Ellison who was following Larry Ellison, and greeted, Sit whatever you want.

This is a reception room in the Duke's manor, which is often used by Duke to receive heavyweight guests. Although he can't understand the Ellison father and son, the two sides are more enemies than friends, but Duke will not ignore what they represent capital and power.

And no one can underestimate Larry Ellison.

Larry Ellison and David Ellison then greeted Scarlett Johansson and sat on the two single sofas opposite Duke. Scarlett Johansson temporarily acted as a waiter. Served them coffee.

However, these two people obviously didn't come to the Duke's manor to visit or taste coffee. They didn't even look at the two cups of Blue Mountain coffee, and their eyes were always on Duke.

He could roughly guess the reason and purpose of the father and son's visit, so Duke was not in a hurry. He sat in his seat and looked at Larry Ellison and David Ellison.

Larry Ellison had an inherent rebellion on his face, but he looked at Duke with complicated eyes.

David Ellison almost wrote all his thoughts on his face, his eyes staring at Duke were as sharp as knives, and there was still unwillingness hidden in them.

Duke's energy was basically put on Larry Ellison. In front of him and Larry Ellison, David Ellison had no right to speak at all.

After placing the coffee pot, Scarlett Johansson sat next to Duke, holding his arm lightly with one hand, and tightly closed her mouth, after years of getting along. She knew very well that she didn't need to say anything by herself at this time.

Larry Ellison withdrew his gaze, but sighed in his heart. To some extent, the person opposite him was just like him, with outstanding abilities and a self-made man. Great wealth was created.

But what he saw more was that the other party was different from him. Duke Rosenberg had a calmer personality, with a deep heart hidden under his calm face.

This is not an easy person to deal with!

After years of observation, Larry Ellison finally confirmed this point, but it was a bit late, and the price to be paid may be a bit heavy.

but. He had prepared himself before coming, and it was better to pay a certain price than David Ellison to be involved in a murder scandal and a tangled lawsuit.

Anyway, David? Ellison is his son.

Duke... Larry Ellison's eyes returned to this side, David has decided to quit Hollywood.

Hearing this, Duke couldn't help but smile slightly. Turning to David Ellison, This is a wise decision.

David Ellison pressed hard on the armrest of the sofa, but said nothing.

There are some things that the two sides do not need to say explicitly, and there is no need to say it clearly. Larry Ellison spoke again, David is my only son.

It seems that he did not understand the hidden meaning of these words. Duke said slowly, There are some things that you have to pay for doing them.

Larry Ellison's face sank, he knew that the matter was not so easy to solve. Tell me, Duke, what do you want.

Recently, Duke has put a lot of pressure on the Los Angeles police, but his purpose is not to track down whether David Ellison is behind the scenes, and that will not do him any good.

Even if David Ellison is found out to be behind the scenes and sent to prison, what benefit can he gain? And Larry Ellison will become an irreconcilable opponent.

Therefore, Duke pondered for a while, recalling the relevant information collected by Tina Fey, and said, Since David is leaving Hollywood, Sky Film Studio...

This film studio is insolvent, Larry Ellison said, looking at his son, and will declare bankruptcy soon.

Bankrupt? Duke slowly shook his head, That's good, you divest the debt of Sky Movie Studios, and then...

He held out a finger. I'll buy the remaining shell companies for $10 million.

Larry Ellison frowned slightly, and the discontent in David Ellison's eyes became more obvious.

Hearing Duke's words, Scarlett Johansson was stunned for a while. She didn't understand why Duke bought Sky Movie Studios, and then figured it out. If Sky Movie Studios' debts were divested, the company would still be worth a fortune. tens of millions of dollars.

After all, Sky Film Studios has the copyrights to multiple films.

But Scarlett Johansson didn't read the latest relevant materials, and of course she didn't know that Sky Film Studio had something more valuable.

Father! David Ellison finally couldn't help but speak.

Last month, after Sky Film Studios signed a formal cooperation agreement with Universal Pictures and Paramount Pictures, it has paid the two companies for the Fast and Furious series and the Star Trek series as well as Jurassic. A considerable share of the early investment funds of The World...

It was obvious that Duke Rosenberg, who was facing him, had taken a fancy to these, and these were his last capital.

Duke is very clear, with Larry? Ellison and David? Ellison's mind and vision, can certainly see what he wants.

In this world, there has never been a harvest that should be taken for granted.

Others don't know the corresponding investment and income rights of the Fast and Furious series, the Star Trek series and Jurassic World, but Duke knows how valuable it is, even if the Fast and Furious series has no fan? Diesel, too, has plenty of value.

Of course, everyone has a limit.

For example, Duke, his bottom line is his mother and Scarlett Johansson, no one can hurt them.

Duke didn't mention the Internet in front of Larry Ellison, he didn't mention Oracle, he only talked about the film industry, he knew it would make him enough money, and it wouldn't touch Larry Ellison's bottom line .

After all, this is not a world and society where you can act recklessly. Even people at his level and Larry Ellison must follow certain rules of the game. David Ellison broke the rules of the game before, and now You need to pay the price.

David Ellison looked at Larry Ellison, and reminded him again, Father...

Larry Ellison raised his right hand, interrupted David Ellison, took a deep look at Duke, and at the same time felt a little admiration in his heart, and then said, Wait for the debt of Sky Movie Studios After the divestiture, let your people contact my people and complete the transfer agreement as soon as possible.

Duke nodded slightly.

The two sides also reached an agreement on this, but did not talk about specific matters. Both Duke and Larry Ellison are actually very clear about the role money can play in this country. With the police under pressure, Larry Ellison would have plenty of room to maneuver.

That's enough for Larry Ellison.

The two sides are neither friends nor partners. After reaching a tacit understanding in this regard, they didn't bother to say anything. Larry Ellison and his son left, and Duke asked Emma, ​​the housekeeper, to send them out of the Eye Villa.

That's all?

In the living room, Scarlett Johansson seemed a little unwilling, Just let David Ellison go like this?

We just stopped putting pressure on the Los Angeles police. Duke sat back on the sofa. Whether the matter will eventually involve David Ellison has nothing to do with us.

In the next ten days, the Ellison family divested the debt of Sky Film Studios at the fastest speed, and then completed the transaction with Duke, who directly merged the shell company into Lucasfilm Among them, not to mention the Fast and Furious series and the Star Trek series, just the investment shares in Jurassic World obtained will be able to obtain terrifying benefits in the future.

There are fewer forces behind it, and the North American entertainment market, which has been in constant turmoil since the beginning of May, has gradually returned to calm, especially the attention of the entertainment media, and more attention has returned to celebrity gossip and their works.

On the Internet, some fans of Duke spontaneously launched an activity——Duke Rosenberg has been in the film industry for 22 years, to the movie time we spent with him.

Countless movie fans left messages on this event.

What do Duke's movies mean to your life? If someone asks me that question, my answer is I don't know why I love Duke's movies, but I just do!

This is an ordinary movie fan from Texas, and Duke blowers from other regions are also rushing to leave a message.

Some fans in Los Angeles wrote, Duke's movies are my lifelong companions. They remember the past life and can also show the future time, and I live with them in the present. I love Duke Rosen Berger! I love this movie!

There are also crazy Duke Blows on the East Coast. A fan in New York left a message, Every time a Duke movie is released, the moment I walk into the theater and sit in my seat, I can feel that I have entered a new world. When the lights on the screen turn on, I know that it is a journey that belongs to me and Duke Rosenberg. There, I can forget the anguish and troubles in reality, explore freely, forget about emotions Go laugh!

Duke Blow lives in this world in various forms, and only when he encounters Duke's movies will he reveal his true body, I engraved history, beliefs, attitudes, desires and dreams in one thing, that It is the films of Duke Rosenberg, and I thank his films for appearing in my life and bringing more value to my shallow life.”

A person's life is short, so there are many regrets. The charm of Duke's movies lies in allowing you to experience a different life in this short period of time and make up for the beauty that is lost in your heart. (To be continued~^~ )
