Witness of the film and television world

Chapter 117 October
Peyton's Estate, Alabama.

"Congratulations, three-peat, Forrest."

In the past year, although Payton was gone, they won the championship trophy again under the power of Forrest.

It's kind of embarrassing to say.

It is not terrible to win the championship, it is embarrassing to be short of anyone!
Don't get me wrong, it's not about you, Baylor, it's not about the connotation that as soon as you retire from injury, the Lakers will win a championship that you have never won in your life.

Forrest shook his head: "Unfortunately, you can't play with us anymore, I miss you very much."

Peyton showed a bit of nostalgia: "Tell the boss, I miss him too."

"By the way, how are you and Jenny doing?"

"It's okay, but Jenny seems to want to be a singer."

"Singer?" Peyton shook his head.

"This is not a good choice, this circle is very messy."

This is the truth. In the next era, the singing circle will be mixed with hippies, and the rock and roll circle will be full of hippies. In this kind of circle, if you don’t have a little bit of magic, you are ashamed to say that you are playing music.

Forrest nodded: "But, this is Jenny's dream, I don't think I should stop her."

Peyton slapped his head, feeling speechless.

"But there are times when we have to counsel those around us when they're making stupid choices."

"For example, now, I am persuading you to stop Jenny from giving up that stupid dream."

Forrest nodded: "But I still feel that it's not necessarily a stupid choice."

"Not necessarily? Look, you have confirmed the probability of it happening in your heart, and let me tell you, once Jenny makes this choice, she will suffer for the rest of her life, and you will regret it for the rest of your life." Peyton warned.

Forrest was silent for a while: "Okay, let me try to dissuade her."

Peyton smiled slightly: "Very well, you have made a choice that makes me proud. If you can't dissuade her, let her come to me. It just so happens that I also have plans to make music. Under my command, she will be fine." Mixed up a lot."

"Thank you, Peyton."

"You're welcome, we're friends."

……

"Xihua Petroleum Company? I don't remember having an oil company in my name!"

Peyton looked at his financial advisor, puzzled.

Just now, when Payton asked him about the acquisition of an oil company, he actually said that he already had an oil company under his name, in Alabama, called Xihua Petroleum.

"Boss, according to the federal government's preferential policy towards the oil industry, the funds used for oil wells that have not yet produced oil do not need to be taxed, so in order to facilitate tax avoidance, part of your tax avoidance funds has been invested in this company, and this company has continued to invest in this company over the years. Loss, with the major shareholder exiting, you have become the actual owner of the company."

Peyton nodded, he finally remembered.

Indeed, this was an operation during the tax avoidance period. He didn't take it to heart for a small company.

"So what else does this company have?"

"3 employees and several oil wells that are about to be scrapped, and the bank's 23 liabilities."

Peyton nodded. He knew why the original major shareholder quit. It really was a mess.

"Forget it, contact the headhunter, and use this company as a shell to hire the best drilling engineer and the best geologist for me." Payton said.

"Yes!"

……

Early October, Hollywood.

"The Sound of Music" is about to be released. As the first film of the production company, Peyton attaches great importance to it. Various promotions have been arranged very early, and posters about Taylor are also posted everywhere.

This is the first play in which she takes the lead and becomes the heroine, and Elizabeth still attaches great importance to it.

Peyton is very relaxed, after all, he has read the answer in advance.

At this time, he found Roald to talk about the old days, and his villa was on the mountainside not far from Hollywood.

They are a couple, one is a screenwriter and the other is an actor, and they spend a lot of time here.

"Roald, your new book is selling very well!"

Peyton joked to Roald Dahl.

The other party's "The Merry Agent" series has become a hit this year, with sales exceeding 60 copies in California alone.

I have to say that the other party is really good at writing adult magazines, combined with spy wars, it is tense and exciting, and the descriptions of certain romantic deeds are flattering and not vulgar, which makes people want to stop.

For some readers, looking at each other's books saves money even on Playboy magazines.

It is expected that the entire Federation will be fully rolled out, with a sales volume of no less than 200 million copies, and it will also rank high on the annual sales list in New York.

Roald waved his hand: "In front of you, who dares to say the sales volume?"

"By the way, how is Raymond? Last time I heard that he made the little nurse in the hospital cry."

Peyton shook his head: "What else can I do? He is old after all. He called me a few days ago and said that he has no appetite every day, and he doesn't want to drink alcohol. He can only smoke two cigarettes a day to satisfy his hunger."

Roald sighed softly when he heard that, "In a few days, I'll go to the hospital to see him."

Peyton nodded, and suddenly thought of something, he said, "By the way, Roald, which publishing house are you working with now?"

"Harlem Press! What's the matter?"

"I have a publishing house under my name, which is expanding. Do you want to try it? Don't worry, I will not treat you badly when it comes to royalties."

"A publishing house under your name? Aren't you a signed writer of Random House?"

Peyton shook his head: "That was a long time ago. Since the first part of the original sin series, I have established my own publishing house, and the entire original sin series is also published by this publishing house."

"What about Random House?"

Roald was puzzled. In his impression, the main promoters of the Original Sin series were Random House, and various public opinion propaganda continued.

Peyton smiled: "The shares are crossed. Random House holds 40% of the publishing house in my hand, and I personally hold 20% of Random House. How about it? Do you want to consider it?"

"Although my publishing house can't compare with Harlem Press, it has great benefits and small conveniences. I am in charge of the Washington Post. At least, I can give you more support in terms of publicity channels. "

Roald shook his head directly: "Forget it, Peyton, we are friends, so don't let friendship be mixed with more impurities."

Peyton couldn't help being taken aback when he heard that, "...well, Rodel, you're right!"

"However, I still feel that writing suspenseful detective subjects is a waste of your talent. You should be that kind of world-class master of fairy tales."

Roald shook his head when he heard the words: "Let's talk about it, I just bought a villa in Miami, and the bank loan is not low. When I finish writing this series and pay off the loan, I will try to write and read."

"Miami? You'll enjoy it!"
