Movie Master

"Do you have time to watch the season opener?" Theo turned to Lance and asked in a low voice. On the opposite side of the seat, Gao Wen was still talking freely and frothyly.

Lance picked up the honey water and took a sip, the fatigue all over his body eased, "Of course." Lance showed a big smile to Gawain, and expressed his response, "I will try my best to arrange time to watch the game this season , Gawain spent the best time at the Blue Castle Stadium, didn't he?"

Gao Wen is thirty-two years old this year, which can be regarded as the end of his career for a tight end. Since last year, voices discussing whether Gao Wen should retire have appeared intermittently. No matter how Gao Wen decides to continue playing or retreat bravely, time will never stop, and the time for Gao Wen to leave the Blue Castle Stadium is getting closer and closer.

Theo closed his jaw and responded vaguely. Lance turned his head and saw Theo's calm expression. Although he still had an iceberg face, Lance had known Theo for nearly his whole life, and he could sense the worries and melancholy hidden under that stern expression.

Although Theo never said it out loud, he was always worried about Gao Wen the most.

Compared with the other three brothers, Gao Wen is an athlete, and he participates in one of the most intense physical sports in the world. Injuries are commonplace. In the normal life after retiring, although with the development of technology, the improvement of sports equipment, the changes of league rules and the development of medical treatment, the impact of injuries has been reduced to the minimum as much as possible, but as long as you stay on the field, the injury will be there. Inevitably.

Lance withdrew his gaze, looked at Gawain again, and said in a low voice, "So, have you talked to him?" This sentence was obviously asking Theo, and then Lance felt Theo That cold and sharp gaze was projected towards him, but Lance pretended not to notice it, and still drank his own honey water leisurely, which made Theo very helpless, but there was nothing he could do about Lance.

It was difficult for Theo and Gawain to sit down and have a peaceful conversation. Their personalities were too different. Theo always felt that Gawain's restlessness was a headache, while Gawain felt that Theo was too serious to be timid. Both end in embarrassment. so……

Theo looked at Lance with a stiff gaze, but Lance remained indifferent. In the end, Theo was defeated, turned his head slowly, picked up the water glass and took a sip slowly. "So, how is the team integration this season? Has Favre recovered?" Lance's voice rose slowly, and it came out during the gap between Gawain's conversation, which made Theo drink water suddenly. Stiffness—fortunately, since he was a child, he has been used to this kind of play innumerable.

Brett-Favre (Brett-Favre), one of the greatest quarterbacks in the NFL, has written countless historical records and booked a place in the Hall of Fame long before he retired. It is a pity that Brett is already thirty-five years old this year, and the increase in age is accompanied by the increase in injuries. Last year, his multiple injuries caused the Packers' performance to fluctuate, and finally lost to Philadelphia in the divisional playoffs. eagle.

Gao Wen shrugged, "A season is very long, who knows? We always need one game, one game at a time. However, the Super Bowl is still our goal!" Gao Wen waved his right hand Fist, roared loudly, seemed passionate.

"So, the team hasn't considered the plan to cultivate rising stars yet?" Lance's question seems logical. Every NFL team is like this. When the quarterback enters the second half of his career, they must consider the team There is a step-by-step replacement plan, so choosing a potential rookie quarterback would be a good start.

Gawain shook his head with a strange expression, muttering inexplicable sounds, clearly expressing the current conflict of opinions within the team. Apparently, some people believed that Brett was still in his prime—a career as a quarterback. The life expectancy is generally longer, but some people think that it is time to start training Brett's successor, "The team manager always has to be more cautious about the quarterback. However, they did ask me before. , my contract ends next season and they asked me what I thought."

Theo also raised his head, without thinking of Lance's simple words, which naturally brought Gawain into this topic.

Lance said with a smile, "If you are worried that my company will not have a stable source of income after retirement, you can rest assured that Ian can already take over this task."

Gao Wen directly raised his right middle finger in response, causing Ian to chuckle beside him, "I haven't made a decision yet, let's focus on this season first, we have to play one game at a time, I think when the time comes, I will naturally make a decision.”

Ian patted Gawain on the shoulder, "We will always stand behind you." A simple sentence conveyed countless mixed emotions. Theo and Lance also raised their heads, and their eyes fell on Gawain, which made Gawain laugh a little embarrassedly, and changed the subject a little jerky, "Didn't you say that there is something to announce today? Lance has arrived, what are you waiting for?"

This sentence was aimed at Ian, and Ian chuckled, not wanting to expose Gawain's intentions, but turned his head to look at Lance, "The Las Vegas dividend has already been credited to the account. One sentence made Lance's eyes light up, but Ian still turned his head to look at Gawain and Theo who were confused, and explained, "Not long ago, Chaos Films encountered some difficulties in cash flow. This Mr Lancelot demanded forty million dollars from me, and there was nothing I could do about it."

Ian's mocking tone made Lance sit next to him dumbfounded. Grinding his teeth, he said, "I've already thought of the headline in the tabloid tomorrow for you, 'Kate-Beckinsale's latest date'!" Before "Sin City" was finished, Kate Beckinsale started dating Ian. Although the two have only gone out three times so far, judging from the clues, Kate has obviously fallen in love.

Ian didn't even turn his head, and continued to talk to Theo and Gao Wen, "Then Lance took a fancy to the European Cup and decided to go to Las Vegas to gamble."

Gao Wen was completely stunned, "But... this year's European Cup was a shocking upset! Greece copied the Danish myth more than ten years ago, and somehow won!" Gao Wen looked at Lance worriedly, "Then What about your new project?" His first reaction was not that Lance had lost all his cash, but Lance's project, which made Lance stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer Gao Wen.

Theo frowned slightly, and his first reaction was also, it was all lost. But then he thought of it. Judging from the personalities and wisdom of Ian and Lance, if they were not certain, it would be impossible for them to get in touch with gambling, let alone lose everything. But the problem is, Gao Wen It makes sense...

"And then?" Since he couldn't figure it out, Theo raised his head and looked at Ian, waiting for the next step.

Ian pulled the corner of his mouth and said calmly, "We won."

"How much!" Gao Wen's first reaction was that he lost, so he asked how much he lost.

"One hundred million." After Ian's words came out, even Theo's iceberg face showed a crack. He obviously didn't expect the level of this gamble to be so big, and Gao Wen was even more stunned. They couldn't turn it around—they didn't have 100 million funds, so how did they lose 100 million, and they were stunned, "Wait, you mean, we won?"

Ian nodded, picked up the red wine glass in front of him, and raised it towards Lance, "Our dear Mr. Lancelot has placed all bets on Greece."

In an instant, Theo and Gawain looked at Lance in unison, even though they were as close as they were, they showed expressions of disbelief. This made Lance's heart tremble slightly-if they pursued it, why did he choose to put all his eggs in one basket on Greece, then how should he answer?

The palm of Lance's hand holding the glass could not help but retract slightly, a trace of sweat leaked out of the palm, and after his heart beat accelerated to the extreme, his mouth was so dry that he could hardly speak, and he couldn't even outline a smile .

"So, is there enough funding for Lance's project?" Theo turned his gaze to Ian, and asked in a deep voice. At the same time, he patted Lance's shoulder with his right hand. The broad palm relieved Lance's anxiety and tension. Slowly recovered. Lance raised his head, and saw Theo's indifferent expression, and Gawain's overjoyed expression - Gawain raised his hands next to his head, bowed down continuously, and made a gesture of worship, his face full All big smiles.

Ian was not too excited, "He has enough funds for this project, but the film industry is burning money, which is only enough for two projects." The truly thrilling moment has long passed, and Ian wanted to be on the safe side , Divided 1.5 million into multiple different identities to bet, and the other 500,000 were given to France, Portugal and Italy. This process is the thrilling part of sweating palms, and gambling is like this. If you spend a lot of money, you will either make a lot of money or go bankrupt, which is not inferior to the ups and downs of stocks.

Greece's championship exchanged Ian's 1.5 million for 100 million, but Las Vegas had to pay 30% of the tax, and the final fund was just a little over 70 million. For ordinary people, 70 million US dollars is enough to spend a lifetime, but for the film industry, a "The Day After Tomorrow" is far more than this investment cost.

Therefore, after experiencing the initial heartbeat, Ian was very calm. As he said, this was only enough for Lance to toss about two projects. If Sin City fails, the money is gone in the blink of an eye.

Compared to the calmness of Ian and Theo, Gawain still couldn't calm down, "So, this means, we are now billionaires?"
