Two groups of people stood on either side of a closed shop. On one side was a middle-aged fat Caucasian man with a round face and a round body. Behind him stood more than 20 burly men with dragon wolf carvings on their bodies. Moreover, these burly men had guns on their waists. On the other side was a tall and slender Chinese youth. Beside him were dozens of sealed wooden boxes. A few of them had been opened, revealing the black bodies of guns and glistening yellow bullets inside. There were also two silver boxes on the ground that had been opened, with neat rows of US dollars inside. Novel of the Apex,
"Mr Ye, it's a pleasure working with you!" A middle-aged fatty with a round face and a round body stretched out his chubby hand and said with a smile.
"Happy working with you!" Ye Xuan smiled and shook hands with the middle-aged fatty.
After shaking hands with Ye Xuan, the middle-aged fatty waved his hand to his men to cover the money box on the ground and then left the shop.
This transaction was agreed upon by Ye Xuan yesterday afternoon with the boss of the gun shop. These firearms were enough to arm half a battalion, and it was the biggest business deal for the gun shop in the past half a year. To be prudent, the boss of the gun shop even sent the manager of the gun shop to handle this transaction. He even brought over 20 people with him as a show of extravagance. Of course, this could also be understood as the fact that Gun Supermarket was actually afraid of encountering such a situation.
They seemed to have regarded Ye Xuan as the representative of a certain warlord in Huaxia. In order to attract customers, they even gave him an additional 100,000 rounds of heavy machine gun bullets, 50,000 rounds of submachine gun bullets, 1,000 mortar shells, 100 powerful crossbows, and 30,000 arrows. They almost spat out all their hard-earned money.
Unfortunately, they didn't expect that there was no warlord behind Ye Xuan at all. Ye Xuan bought these things for his own use. Their plan was completely in vain.
He enveloped all the wooden boxes on the ground with his mental power. With a thought, the wooden boxes that were originally placed on the ground immediately disappeared into thin air and appeared neatly in the storage space.
Looking at the empty room, Ye Zichen was stunned. In a flash, Ye Xuan left the room.
After leaving the shop, Ye Xuan called a taxi and went to the dock. When he arrived at the dock, he found Captain Horn of the Adventure and asked him if he could come. Unfortunately, Horn said that he thought Ye Xuan could only go the next day. The ship's supplies were not ready yet. At the very least, he would have to wait until the night to prepare the supplies. Hearing Captain Horn's words, Ye Xuan didn't make things difficult for him. He just nodded. Then, he left the pier alone and walked toward New York City.
While Ye Xuan was strolling alone in New York, in a viewing room with the sign "Sorman Associates", in the dark, a few white men in leather suits were sitting in their seats, watching some boring animal clips on the screen not far away from them. Carl, who had talked to Ye Xuan about the nautical chart before, was also sitting inside.
Suddenly, a thin-haired white man sitting in front looked at the jumping monkey on the screen, took a puff of his cigarette, and asked, "How much longer?"
"There are still five rolls of film left!" A projectionist at the back said.
"Turn on the lights!" The Caucasian man took a puff of his cigarette. The Caucasian man with sparse hair suddenly said.
Pa!
The light in the room was switched on. Everyone was exposed to the light. In the viewing room, in addition to Karl, the white man with sparse hair, and the person in charge of placing the film tray, there were also two other shareholders of Sorman Associates.
"This is it? Denham, the one that cost us forty grand? Another adventure movie of yours? "A white-haired shareholder turned his head slightly. He said coldly to Karl who was behind him.
"You promised us a romantic scene with Bruce Baxter and Marlene MacKenzie," another shareholder questioned.
"Guys, cut it out. You know our agreement. We all agreed to use Marlene's date as a selling point. But I'm the one shooting the movie. That's my principle, "Carl argued.
"This isn't a matter of principle, it's a matter of money," the shareholder turned to look at Karl and said angrily.
"Carl. You've already started shooting for two months! "The thin-haired white man from before also said.
"Believe me, as soon as they board the ship, Bruce and Marlene will shine on the screen!" Carl was a little impatient. At the same time, he revealed a piece of information that the shareholders of the company did not know.
"What ship?" the shareholder asked with a frown.
Carl gestured as if it was a matter of course and said, "It's the ship we rented to take us to our destination."
"What destination? Carl, these should all be shot on the set, "the shareholder said unhappily.
"Yes, I understand. But we're not shooting that movie now!" Carl stood up from his seat and walked out slowly. "Let me tell you why. The story has changed, and so has the script. Real life has intervened."
"I got a piece of news that I think you should know. A Huaxia man is looking for a mysterious sea map of the Dead Island with one million dollars. As long as we can go to that island to shoot, the mysterious island, the complete and mysterious civilization remains, the thrilling adventure, the beautiful romantic love … Think about it, it's absolutely crazy, it's …" Unlike the original work, because of Ye Xuan's intervention, Carl did not take out the mysterious sea map this time. Instead, he changed his words.
"Hey, Carl, slow down!" a shareholder interrupted Carl. "Do you have that sea map?"
Carl rolled his eyes and said, "No, but we can go to sea with that Huaxia man."
"Is he asking for more money?" a shareholder questioned.
"He's asking us to pay for it!" another shareholder said, looking at Carl with disgust.
"Gentlemen, can you imagine when a primitive world is shown on the silver screen? It will definitely shock the world. At that time, our Sorman Associates will definitely become a first-class film company in the United States!" Carl continued to advocate.
The shareholders looked at each other, and then the shareholder who had spoken before said, "Can you leave for a while, Carl?"
Carl looked at the three shareholders, smiled arrogantly, and walked out.
After going out, Carl took a cup and put it on the door to eavesdrop on what was going on in the viewing room.
"Don't put him out of business, guys. There's no doubt that he's hot-headed. But Carl Denham has made some interesting films, many of which were close to success!"
"He's an egomaniac who flaunts himself. He's ambitious, but he has no talent. He's a failure."
"I can understand your disappointment …"
"He doesn't know how to direct at all. He doesn't have a brain at all!"
"He's finished. Everyone on Earth knows that."
"This clown is going to bankrupt us!"
"Can these samples of animals be sold for a price?"
"Of course, Worldwide really wants the footage of the expansion film!"
"Then sell it and cancel the shooting!"
…
Listening to the conversation through the cup, Carl's slightly chubby face gradually twisted into a ferocious expression. He put down the cup and touched the sea map hidden in his trouser pocket. Looking at the door, he cursed in his heart, "You bastards! You don't know how to respect filmmakers at all. Just you wait, I, Carl, will definitely make you regret it."
With a cold snort, Carl strode out of the company. Floating Astronomy.
