Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

Chapter 441 Separation, rejection

The sudden inquiry stunned Roland who was eating.

Blinking his eyes, he looked into the eyes of the other party, full of doubts.

Because Roland didn't understand why Garnetti asked himself work-related questions when Kate needed his company the most? You know, when Kate was not pregnant and didn't need his company every day, he didn't work either!

And then...

Ganetti seems to think his choice is quite normal, right?

Since Ganetti can accept the idleness shown in normal times, why does Ganetti do the opposite and ask some strange questions with no results at the critical moment of his wife's pregnancy?

This makes no sense!

Kate and David were also puzzled like Roland.

After realizing that Ganetti had the intention of urging Roland to go out to work, Kate, who was holding the spoon, froze immediately.

David turned his head and glanced at his wife. Although he didn't speak, the meaning on his face was already very clear. The slightly frowned brows were conveying to his wife, 'What are you talking about? ’ question.

When Ganetti realized that her words had caused misunderstandings by everyone present, she immediately explained without any malice: "Oh~ Kate~ I didn't mean to ask Roland to go out to work~"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

"I mean, Roland should also take back all his property."

‘? ? ? '

The three people who had just relaxed frowned again. They didn't understand, what kind of medicine was being sold in Ganetti's gourd?

But in the next second, Ganetti's real thoughts were presented in front of them, "The reason I said that is because Roland also has his own child. Since his surname is not Olsen, David I have been helping him manage the company, which is not good.

Of course, this does not mean that we want to draw a clear line with him, but I think the boundary between our two families should become clearer, and it should not be as chaotic as before.

Although we say that Roland and we are in the relationship of adoption and being adopted, from a legal point of view, it is more of an adoptive parent-child relationship, and David and I have always regarded him as a son, but in fact...

We never raised Roland as a son.

Because we adopted Roland with guilt at the beginning, and our sincere wish was that Roland would continue the name Allen instead of joining our Olson family.

Therefore, at the beginning of the adoption, David and I had already thought about it. We would all undertake the responsibilities of adoptive parents, and we would never instill in Roland the obligations that adopted children should fulfill, let alone ask him to Say something to us.

Perhaps Roland has already discovered that over the years, no matter what choice he makes, we will first confirm whether he is joking, and after confirming that he has his own ideas, we will give the greatest respect.

Because that's what we want to do, we want to help him keep his property as long as possible until he comes of age.

Now, Roland has already married. He didn’t play around like many guys who became famous at a young age, and he is going to be a father soon. For us, this year’s wish has come true.

In this case, it is actually not appropriate to help them manage their property.

And asking him to confirm his dominance in the company is actually a responsibility to your family.

After all, Roland married Kate, he and you are the same family. "

How else can I say that only women understand women!

After Ganetti finished speaking in her heart, Kate, who was still stiff and motionless, smiled and shook her head in an instant.

Because she already understood Ganetti's good intentions.

For Roland, the Olsen couple may be trustworthy family members, because in the past ten years, they have been giving him the greatest help possible, no matter whether it is filming or investing, they not only have no intention of obstructing , On the contrary, it can meet Roland's needs to the extreme. In this case, the word trust is an indelible label attached to them.

But what about Kate?

The Olsen couple are always outsiders.

Even if Kate knows that the Olsen couple are very kind to her husband, and that her husband can have everything today, it is inseparable from their help, but these understandings are actually superficial.

Because these things are what Kate heard.

When Kate met Roland, Roland's net worth was already three billion.

In this case, the Olsen couple's help to Roland can actually be understood by her as a money relationship.

She can think that the Olsen couple did not embezzle Roland's assets for the better development of their daughter. Later, she can speculate that the Olsen couple did it for the greater good. Will be friendly with Roland.

Although all of this comes from extremely evil speculations in her heart, for Kate who has been enveloped in sweetness, she may never think about it in her life, but there is a contingency in everything.

The Olsen couple are indeed very good to Roland now, but who can say for sure what will happen next?

Now Kate doesn't care about the Olsen couple's management of their own property, what can happen later?

What if one day Kate feels that her husband, the hands-off shopkeeper, might be deceived by David, thus blowing up pillow rumors?

How about this matter?

When Roland and Kate had already talked about everything, did he trust Kate or David?

If you believe Kate, it may be a sneaky audit.

Regardless of whether there is a problem with the investigation or not, as long as there is this idea, the relationship between the two parties will no longer be able to return to the past.

And if you believe David.

That's over.

The lover Roland has always wanted will disappear because of his trust.

Even judging from the current situation, the possibility of such a demonic situation is very low.

But regardless of the possibility of one percent, one thousandth, or one ten thousandth, Ganetti doesn't want to see it. 𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯n𝗼𝘷𝚎𝚕.𝒄૦𝓶

Because she didn't want the two families to go against each other, she wanted to kill all this in the cradle.

She wants to sing nursery rhymes with her newborn baby after eight months...

She hopes that after a year, the guy crawling wantonly on the ground can call her grandma...

Grandson or granddaughter, no matter which one, she wants to send it to school...

"Can you understand what I mean?"

After seeing her husband, Roland, and Kate laughing at the same time, the serious Canetti also grinned, "Money is indeed a good thing, but when it reaches a certain level, it becomes a bad thing.

Roland, my aunt raised you in the first ten years, but in the next ten years, my aunt wants to raise your child.

I don’t expect James, the guy who doesn’t come home every year, to get married earlier, and Ashley and Mary are still young, and they are not at the age to find someone at all. Therefore, you, who are obedient, are my aunt’s greatest expectation.

I don't want accidents in our relationship, and I also believe that your mother also wants me to hold the baby for her..."

All right!

When Garnett has said so much, if Roland said something to believe, it would be really hypocritical.

And to be honest, he thinks what Ganetti said is quite reasonable.

After he retired, he threw all kinds of things to David. He didn't read the financial statements of major companies, he didn't understand the investment details of Shouwang Venture Capital, and he didn't care about the listing of the company under his name. , The thing that I do the most every day is to go around my wife and meet with the founders of major companies at most to control the overall situation.

In this case, the David with the greatest empowerment is the supreme **** in the companies.

His signature can solve all problems.

According to common sense, this is what Roland wants.

Because he knows how much he has, and he knows that he is not capable of controlling a large company.

David is here, that is a caring professional manager.

He can properly handle things that he didn't think of.

But what if one day, David, who has the power of life and death, does something wrong?

How should this be calculated?

If it was an insignificant loss, then Roland definitely didn't care.

Even if there are tens of millions, he will not feel pain.

But what if David had a dispute with some people?

For example, he had conflicts with Steve Jobs, quarreled with Jeff Bezos, and fought with Larry Page and Sergey Brin. How should he help? who?

Help David, that's reasonable.

And help other people...

Isn’t that also reasonable?

Therefore, when David cannot be held accountable, this unconditional trust operation model is full of drawbacks, and if Kate shows her own reason in a certain incident and expresses that she will not help her relatives, then he What about the Olsen family? This kind of business built with human feelings is really hard to do!

If Roland could not understand before that the best way for a family business to develop is to introduce mature external managers, then now, he feels that he may understand why the Goldman family, the Sachs family , The Guggenheim family is going to let outsiders manage it.

It’s not just about recruiting the elite, it’s…

Continuation.

Like the infighting of the Hilton family, the boss of MGM can take advantage of it;

And Seagram's blood relatives controlled it, which made the world's largest wine brand disappear directly;

When interests and feelings are mixed together, it is a mess.

No one can solve it, and no one knows how to solve it.

"Okay, I see."

After thinking about it again and again, Roland, who found that his wife had been eating with her head down, made a decision.

Turning his head to look at David, his face filled with emotion was full of longing for family affection.

In this case, Roland felt that his next question might be redundant, but...

He still asked, "David, just say what you think, it's okay."

"Me?" David raised his eyebrows and said, "I want to hold a baby too."

Not only that, he also added, "I want to take your child to your father's cemetery, and then tell that guy that this is my grandson, maybe in this way, I can see him directly lift the coffin board scene?"

"..." This kind of response made Roland's head full of black lines.

The next second, Ganetti also raised his arm and twisted it on her husband's arm, "What nonsense!"

Such a situation made everyone smile knowingly.

Because everyone understands that everyone's goal is the same.

...

Now that everyone has reached a consensus, things will be much easier. David voluntarily resigned from the positions of chairman and director of each company, and let others take over. With their operations, Blizzard's chairman was replaced by Ai Ren Adhan, the CEO is Mike Mohamy; Apple's CEO is still Steve Jobs, and at the same time, the chairmanship is also dumped to him; in addition, Gilead, Amazon Although they did not intervene in the three companies, Google and Google, they still have director seats. Therefore, in the case of a replacement, Jeff Bezos was invited to serve as the director of Gilead, and Alan Adhan was invited to serve as the director of Google. , Inviting Mike Mohamy to join Amazon as a director has become the easiest substitution.

There are many people who can plug and play!

Don’t worry at all!

While handling these matters, Warcraft Film and Television's solution is actually the same simple and rude. 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m

Anyway, it's a leather bag company, and it doesn't matter whoever is the chairman.

Since Evelyn Watson is doing a great job, wouldn't it be over to give her a promotion?

Of course, the promotion is indeed good news for Evelyn Watson, and at the same time as the promotion, she also brought Roland a series of recent arrangements for the company.

With the injection of funds, "Pirates of the Caribbean", which has been in preparation for a year, is about to start filming. "Terminator 3", which was officially approved at the end of last year, has now written the script and officially entered the personnel selection stage.

These two news are normal for Roland, because the former has a professional production team, so don't worry about what happens, while the latter is a free-range project from the beginning, don't care what happens, in fact Don't worry too.

But besides that, the preparation of "House of Cards" surprised him.

Because within a week after he confirmed the project, the main creative team of this show had already been recruited.

Since 1990, the main creative team of "Law and Order", which has been on the air for twelve years, has been pulled over by DreamWorks. Director Jess Alexander and screenwriter Dick Wolf will participate in the creation of "House of Cards", and Specially responsible for the shooting of two episodes.

"The True Colors of a Lawyer" director and screenwriter David Kelly also agreed to join, write the script for the film, and take charge of the camera.

If it is a bit extravagant to pick out one of them at random and support the main creators of a TV series with a high ratings to gather together to produce a series, then when the director and screenwriter of "Prison Storm" Tom Fontana And "X Files" director Kim Manners and screenwriter Frank Spertney also appeared in the list of the main creative team, DreamWorks' determination to make "House of Cards" well, it was a fruitful display In front of Roland...

No way, who made "Law and Order", "The True Colors of a Lawyer", "The X-Files", and "Prison House" all hit TV series in the 1990s?

Not only that, but they are also legal thrillers that fit in with "House of Cards"!

The most important thing is, like Dick Wolfe, that is the screenwriter of the later "Chicago Police Department"!

David Kelly later created "Boston Legal" and "Big Little Lies"!

Kim Manners' most famous work is not "X-Files", but "Supernatural"!

Under the circumstances that their creative ability is extremely stable, it is very difficult to make "House of Cards" hit the market.

Of course, these are not really important.

The important thing is that after Roland looked through the directory, he found that David Fincher's name was not in the main creative team.

After he asked, he found out that David Fincher, whom he recommended before, had been given a pass by DreamWorks.

"Mr. Spielberg said that in terms of movies, David Fincher still needs a lot of practice. Now this "House of Cards" is aimed at the ratings. He has no time or energy to let David -Finch uses the camera to tell his suspense."

'Come on! '

This explanation made Roland laugh dumbly.

Because "House of Cards" appeared ten years earlier than the previous life, the creation cannot be measured according to the standards of the previous life, because the life circumstances of many directors and actors did not meet the creation standards of this play.

The most typical one is actually David Fincher.

In Roland's previous life, David Fincher's life experience before he took over "House of Cards" was a bumpy one.

From 1983 to 1990, that was his study period, honing his directing skills through commercials and music MVs.

From 1990 to 2000, although he officially set foot in the film industry, although he contributed a lot of films that were well received by later audiences, and people can see the breakthroughs that belonged to him, but at that time, his film was actually only one " The Seven Deadly Sins was well-received and well-received. In addition, reviews of films like Alien 3 and Psychological Games were mixed.

Combined with his violent temper at will, many film companies do not want to cooperate with him.

As a result, unemployment became the main theme of his life at that time.

In order to survive, he took the advertising job of BMW, which is the same team with Alessandro Inarritu, John Frankheimer, Ang Lee, Guy Ritchie, Sunglass King, Joe Carnahan, Tony -Scott filmed the eight-part series "Full of Guts and Stars", "Ambush", "Choice", "Star", "Tracking", "Real Time Detonation", and "Fighting the Devil".

This income gave him breathing time in the embarrassing situation where he had nothing to film.

After that, he never let go of any opportunity, no matter whether it was an appearance or being a producer, as long as it was something that could gain the favorability of the capital, he would do it. In the end, he got the investment from Paramount. Filmed "Zodiac".

Followed by "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", "The Social Network", "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"...

And at this stage, no matter how the outside world evaluates him, he is neither happy nor sad.

I didn't hate people like before, and I didn't accept the appreciation from the outside world.

…

Because he personally experienced bad reviews from traditional media and praise from the Internet.

Taste the difference from climbing from the bottom of the valley to heaven, and then falling to hell.

After experiencing all this, he was able to shoot "House of Cards" with a normal heart.

After that, he continued to produce "The Lost Lover" and "Mind Hunter".

Although directing is a very talented job, life experience is the magic weapon that makes directors of all walks of life have the last laugh, and if they have not experienced all this, many people will not be able to shoot their future works, so why? …

When Roland learned that Steven Spielberg didn't use the other party, he could understand.

And what would "House of Cards" look like without the other party?

To be honest, he didn't know either.
