America 1995

Chapter 64: End of 1995

After a warm Christmas Eve, there is also a happy Christmas.

Milo was in no rush to return to Los Angeles because of the time between Christmas Eve and New Year's Day.

Many industries in the United States will shut down and many people will take holidays, similar to the Spring Festival holiday in China.

For example, almost all American TV series have entered a dormant period.

Generally, American TV series have two major off-air periods: one is around Thanksgiving, and the other is from Christmas to New Year, which is often called the winter break.

Of course, the most important thing is that American TV series are filmed and broadcast at the same time.

After all, TV networks, actors, screenwriters, directors, etc. still need to take a break during the holidays!
He stayed at home until the 28th, then boarded a plane back to the relatively warm Los Angeles.

Private landing pad at Los Angeles International Airport.

Milo was wearing casual sportswear and standing on the gangway of a Gulfstream private jet.

He looked down at the Cadillac SUV that had just stopped. David, wearing a black suit, sunglasses and a cool expression, got out of the car and nodded at Milo.

Milo just got off the plane and got into the Cadillac SUV.

"BOSS~"

In the spacious rear compartment of the Escalade, Monica was already waiting there.

A row of sparse bangs slightly covers her fair forehead.

When a pair of big watery eyes looked at him, they seemed to have a natural watery glow.

The red lips were like blooming roses, and the first button of the translucent snow-white gauze shirt was sewn quite low, revealing a large area of ​​milky white snow.

The ravines are deep, and the hills are high and large, looming.

The small suit jacket with a very tight waist outlines her curves very clearly.

"Oh, Monica. You look perfect for a secretary. Your outfit is so nice!"

Monica smiled faintly, took out a black-covered notebook and placed it on her white knees.

"Boss, I need to repeat to you the movements of your companies during your absence."

"OK!"

Monica gracefully opened the black-covered notebook in her hand and began to repeat to Milo.

She remembered everything in great detail, but of course, when reporting to her boss, she only reported the main points.

If Milo had any questions, she would explain the contents of the record to him in detail.

She is still very confident about how to be a qualified secretary.

Milo was very satisfied and even looked at her with a new appreciation.

When reporting, Monica summarized the main points very well.

Whenever Milo had questions, she was able to answer them in great detail.

Milo held out his hand to Monica and said, "Give me your notebook so I can take a look."

Monica obediently handed him the notebook, and Milo glanced through it.

Milo was very satisfied with the work attitude of this new beautiful secretary.

It seems that she is not limited to being a top vase in Hollywood.

He stretched out his hand, patted his thigh and said, "Come sit over here and explain these minutes recorded earlier to me!"

Monica bit her rosy lips and looked at David in the driver's seat and Kenny in the passenger seat.

She thought about it and decided to press the button first to raise the partition.

Then she lowered her head, walked around the middle armrest, and sat obediently on Milo's lap.

I don’t know how long it took until the convoy stopped in front of the villa in Beverly Hills.

After communicating with the boss in the car, David opened the trunk door.

Monica covered her mouth with her hands like a frightened deer, and got out of the car lazily and seductively.

His shirt was buttoned up nicely, completely different from how it was in the car, and nothing was showing.

On her fair and elegant face, there was only a deep blush, and she was incredibly charming.

Then she took unsteady steps and quickly fled into the villa.

In the car, Milo wiped his hands with a ball of lace cloth and put it in his pocket.

Milo showed a faint smile, and the evolution of the beautiful secretary was proceeding in an orderly manner.

By then, in the office...it will definitely be wonderful.

In the afternoon, Milo took Monica to the film company.

He was going to have a final closed-door meeting with the real director of "Angels & Demons", the publicity director, and people from Disney before the film was released.

"Angels and Demons" has been scheduled to be released on January 1st of the new year.

This period is neither too hot nor too cold. The finished film is quite good, perhaps because of Milo.

Disney has been promoting it as an A-level production for nearly a month.

It's time to test the results.

"That's it, then. I will definitely arrive on time for the premiere the day after tomorrow." Milo said to everyone with a charming sunny smile on his face.

Wally Pfister also looked at Milo with a smile on his face and said, "Boss, no problem."

Milo nodded slightly, then waved at them with a smile, "That's it, I won't disturb your work. I will be there on time, I'm leaving first."

Wally Pfister and his gang quickly got up and helped the young and handsome Milo into the car.

Standing at the door of the building, watching the black Cadillac disappear from sight.

Disney's publicity contact person, a very good producer, waited until everyone else left.

He whispered to Wally, "Wally, are you sure you're not coming to Disneyland?"

Without waiting for Wally Pfister to answer.

The producer looked at the departing Milo convoy thoughtfully, and then spoke again:
"Anyway, first of all, he's still a young man. Look at his past history. He's also a well-known playboy. Look, it's only the second movie, and he's already completely giving up. Are you sure you want to stay at Paladin Films?"

To be honest, Wally Pfister is very excited.

This is Disney's solicitation, Disney!

If it were in the past, before Robert Downey Jr. got into trouble.

If Disney shows the slightest sign of interest, Wally Pfister will definitely invest without hesitation.

but now……

"This is impossible!"

Wally Pfister told the Disney people in no uncertain terms:

"My boss gave me the opportunity to show my talent. Without him, I would still be an ordinary photographer for small-budget films. So, Andre, I hope you understand that I will never leave Paladin Films!"

The Disney producer smiled bitterly; he also knew Wally Pfister's concerns.

To be honest, he himself felt a little weak, but this was the requirement from the higher-ups.

Because Wally Pfister is so good.

He and some Disney executives have already seen the finished film of "Angels & Demons".

The strong sense of fatalism in the movie, the long shots and close-ups full of religious atmosphere, and the smooth plot and rhythm made them all judge that this movie would definitely sell well.

The movie was very well made!
Disney became greedy for money and wanted to win over Wally Pfister.

They had no idea it was Milo's work.

Even many people within their team doubted whether the script was written by Milo.

Just like even now, there are still many people doubting whether "The Da Vinci Code" was written by Milo.

So if Milo has no credit, then the credit must go to Wally Pfister.

"Okay." The producer had no choice but to say, "Wally, I understand your difficulties. We all understand. But Disney will always welcome you, believe me!"

Wally smiled, even though the producer was being sincere.

But to him, "You'll always be welcome at Disney."

Wally didn't believe a cent.

If Angels & Demons is a big hit, that's fine. Disney's sincerity should be real.

If Angels & Demons fails, or performs poorly.

Then Disney's sincerity is worse than a piece of shit.

At least poop attracts flies!
Whether it is the Hollywood film circle or the New York television circle.

The entire American entertainment industry is extremely paranoid about data.

Don’t even mention big directors, big stars, or famous writers.

It's totally useless.

What can make investors and producers make decisions is always excellent data.

The data shows that you’re a failure. No matter how famous you were in the past, it’s useless!
Otherwise, the compensation is horribly low and you are used as waste.

If the data is good, then you are the boss and everyone will worship and coax you.

So now Wally, more than anyone else, wants "Angels & Demons" to be a successful sale.

If this movie flopped, Milo could just sit there and continue being a rich second-generation, best-selling author.

But Wally Pfister finally got the chance and became the de facto director.

There is a high probability that he will be doomed.
