Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

  Chapter 402 You are my eyes

   "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like this?"

When Roland approached Kate, he put his hands on her waist naturally, leaned over and kissed his wife lightly on the lips, and then asked with a smile, "Do you not like me bringing work home? Are you bored by a three-hour meeting?

  If it is the former, then I will pay attention next time. If it is the latter, then I can only say that everything is an accident.

  Because I don't know, they will drop by unexpectedly. "

On the surface, Kate, who is as indifferent as a chrysanthemum, is a wife who is dissatisfied with her husband who works overtime every day and does not come home late at night. Roland, who is explaining to her, is a laborer who works hard outside and has a lower status at home. At this moment, They are performing a realistic drama of "Which is more important, work or me", but if you catch Roland's eyes carefully, you will find that behind the relaxed and freehand brushwork, there is a sudden awakening accident, and even a sudden realization have no choice.

Just when Roland wanted to hide the unrest in his heart, Kate, who was in his arms, raised a smile and straightened her nose, as if catching the faint smell of smoke hanging over her husband, but more like Tasting the beauty of skin-to-skin contact, after a pause for a few seconds, she slowly said: "I'm not bored, and I don't mind if you bring your work home."

   "Oh? Really?" This answer made Roland smile awkwardly but politely.

  The next second, unwilling to face the reality, he said nonsense again: "Then I understand, you can't leave me for a second, right?

   Didn't expect that we've been together for seven years, and you'd still be addicted to my charm?

   This is really... so proud of me! "

"Goose goose goose..." The narcissistic fart words made Kate smile, showing her white teeth, and at the same time, she shook her head and touched her husband's back, "Do you say such things yourself? Isn't it embarrassing?

   All right, all right, stop standing at the door.

  Go, go upstairs, I've already made tea for you. "

The hilltop villa on Malibu Beach is the best place to overlook the sea near Los Angeles. Feel the caress of the sea breeze, listen to the whisper of the waves, and the high integration of man and nature will make you feel the relaxation overflowing from your bones. .

  Because of this, when decorating here, Roland specially asked David to make a roof for himself.

  When you have nothing to do, make a pot of tea, serve two or three fruit plates, lean on the recliner or study, that pleasant environment can make people get twice the result with half the effort BUFF.

  If there are beauties to accompany her, her work efficiency will soar.

   But that was before.

  What about today...

Even though everything here is the same as usual, Roland is still lying on the familiar armchair blowing the familiar sea breeze, listening to the familiar sound of waves and sipping familiar tea, but the meticulous movements around him always make him a little awkward .

   And the psychology of wanting to ask but not daring to ask gave him even more headaches.

  Because he sensed something, but dared not face it.

   But the ostrich is not so easy to do.

Just as he was thinking about whether to speak, and took the initiative to puncture the window paper between the two of them, Kate, who had made him tea, got up, and naturally moved to Roland's side, in the small room where no one could sleep soundly. In the gap, she lay on her side, resting her head on her husband's shoulder, and at the same time, her right arm and thigh were actively placed on the man's body.

  Holding her breath and closing her eyes, she sighed deeply, and when her right hand passed through the T-shirt and touched Roland's chest, the clear and incomparably sweaty touch made Roland understand that she might seem to... have a connection with Kate.

  So, Roland stopped pretending, "Honey."

   "Huh?" Kate spoke with her nose, like a cute cat, and snorted softly.

   "Ask whatever you want." Roland exhaled, raised his flat hands, and hugged his wife in his arms.

   "Do you know what I want to ask?" Kate didn't look up, she still closed her eyes and asked silently.

   "Almost." Roland pursed his lips.

   "If that's the case, I don't think I need to ask, right?"

   "No, no, I feel bad if you don't ask me."

"real?"

"certainly!"

"Haha~" Feeling her husband's sudden heartbeat, Kate laughed like a silver bell, but even so, she didn't mean to talk to him on an equal footing, and continued to bury herself in Roland's arms, saying, "Then Well, if you feel uncomfortable, just listen to me? Unless there is a practical mistake, or I ask you a question, otherwise you are not allowed to interrupt me, okay?"

   Such instructions made Roland's heart skip a beat.

  But there is no way, no matter what the problem is, you have to face it with a smile!

   "Okay." Roland nodded.

When his voice fell, Kate also licked her mouth with her tongue, recalling the summary of the past three hours, and recalling everything in the past five years. The past also slowly emerged.

   "Roland, do you remember when Titanic came out and we went to New York?

   It was the sudden hailstorm that affected four million people in New York State.

  We went to the disaster area, donated two million to the local victims, and then transferred to New York to visit some old friends.

   And as you were about to leave New York for Washington, you got a call from Francis Coppola.

   Then we went to his house together.

  Do you remember this? "

   "I remember." Roland's mouth was sour. He was sure now that he had guessed right.

   But Kate was very satisfied with her husband's answer.

   "Since you remember this incident, you should also remember why Francis Coppola wanted to find you in the first place?"

  Although this was a question, Kate did not give Roland a chance to answer, but gave the answer on his own, "He came to you to help his nephew Nicolas Cage talk, right?

   Said that Simon West wanted to film the "Black Hawk Incident"? "

At this point, Kate paused. After feeling the intense heartbeat coming from the palm of her hand, she, who was resting on her husband's shoulder, changed her posture, lying on Roland's body like a koala, and her cheeks were Clinging tightly to Roland's chest.

   "If I remember correctly, you showed great resistance to the 'Black Hawk Down' project at the time.

   You don't want to do this movie at all because it's so sensitive.

but…

  The topic of that night did not end here.

Because in our subsequent chat, we mentioned that if we had to make the movie 'Black Hawk Down', what method should be used to make it profitable... We also mentioned that if a film company that does not control the power of the media To shoot this movie, the company only needs to make announcements according to the dovish peace theory before the release, and when the war breaks out, it will turn to the hawks, and it can easily use "interference in politics" and "stirring public opinion" etc. A series of reasons to kill it..."

  Boom! !

   Roland's body froze suddenly!

  Although Kate's tone was calm and weak, for Roland, this kind of revelation is undoubtedly a heavy hammer that hits the head directly!

   That's right!

   When Roland turned around and found his wife looking at him with strange eyes, he had already woken up! Spring four years ago! I seem to have talked about this topic with the other party in a hotel in New York!

   And after Kate mercilessly exposed all this...

   Roland is even more sure! With this guy in my arms! All anomalies have been smelled!

No!

  She's afraid...

   Already guessed everything!

"Well…"

  However, just when Roland wanted to organize his words, Kate suddenly grabbed his hands and squeezed them lightly.

  Feeling the sweat on her husband's palm, Kate still didn't get up, and said with a smile, "Honey, why are your hands sweating?"

"I…"

   "Don't be nervous, I haven't finished talking yet..."

Before the words fell, Kate continued: "If my memory is not wrong, then we should have talked about this matter in the bathtub of the hotel at that time, and after talking about the ridiculous plan that has no possibility of operation, Your emotions that day were quite agitated. If you have to describe it, it should be the same as winning a billion-dollar lottery for ordinary people?

   In short, it is very exaggerated.

  After that, you, who originally didn’t want to participate in the project of “Black Hawk Down”, became very interested in it. "

Speaking of this, Kate, who was lying on her husband, suddenly raised her head. When she felt that her husband's heartbeat had no reference value for her analysis, she rubbed against her body and lay down next to Roland, her eyes fell on that Zhang smiled and said, "You know what? When I learned that you were unwilling to invest in Ang Lee's new movie "Waiting for You" because of the position shown in the movie "Riding with the Devil". When I read "Tiger, Hidden Dragon", I was very happy in my heart.

  As a businessman, it is the most correct choice not to provoke troubles that can be discerned at a glance.

However, when I found out that while you feel that the position of "Ride with the Devil" is too biased, and at the same time you can't wait to take the initiative to take the initiative to create an anti-war movie "Black Hawk Down", my heart is extremely Puzzled…

  Because I don't understand, why would you create a "failure that cannot be shown in front of the American people" when you know that "the Civil War must be meaningful"? If it is because you want to create a war film, then you can change the title, and when I saw that your enthusiasm for the 'Black Hawk Incident' was only after leading the non-media industry owners to shoot it, I was at that time , some strange ideas have already popped up in my mind..."

   Grab the grass!

   There are countless muddy horses galloping past Roland's heart!

  He sighed and smiled, like a salted fish, he didn't want to turn over at all.

   Is it because he doesn't want to justify?

Come on!

   That’s because even if the salted fish turns over, it’s still a salted fish!

  In the past seven years, more than 2,500 days, Kate has not been separated from him for more than 50 days!

  When the days of parting are numbered, no matter how he quibbles, he can't hide it from the woman beside him!

  However, no matter how discouraged he is, it is impossible to stop cheating.

   "It was just an accident." Roland turned his head and looked at him.

   "I just wanted to shoot 'Black Hawk Down' on a whim, but I didn't want to take the responsibility of ruining it..."

   "Huh? Is that so?" Kate raised her eyebrows, showing dimples, in disbelief.

"Of course." Roland was still quibbling, "If you remember all this so clearly, then you should know that before Francis Coppola asked me if I would like to invest in the filming of 'Black Hawk Down', Sony was through Sony and Ampere Lin and Warcraft Film and Television Co-Distribution Company cheated my money, so...you know..."

"Okay." Kate reached out and touched her husband's cheek, feeling the roughness from the chin, she didn't bother with this single thing, but asked: "Then if all this is just a whim, then What about your consultants?

You put Arnold Schwarzenegger as a producer on this film, and through him, you brought in former Secretary of Defense Henry Rumsfeld and former Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney, and in order to ensure that they can enter the game, you even Also invested in Gilead..."

   "This is also an accident." Roland Khan was about to come down, "Gilead is not what I want to invest in, but James..."

   Before he finished speaking, Kate took it up, "It's James who wants you to invest, right?"

   "Yes!" Roland blew his nose.

   "Okay." Kate leaned over, kissed her husband on the forehead, and then said, "Don't be nervous..."

   "I'm not nervous."

   Roland forced a smile, but he knew in his heart that he was just a dead duck now—

   Only the mouth is stubborn.

   "Shall we continue?" Kate asked.

   "Shut up..." Roland had a long face.

   "If the above two points are all accidents, what about after that? That is, when we get married?

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Henry Rumsfeld approached you the day after our wedding on Kauai, and from what I remember, they approached you to be with you Talk about the release date of "Black Hawk Down"?

   That is to say, the film "Black Hawk Down" was actually arranged by you from project approval to production to the subsequent release announcement, and it seems to have nothing to do with investors, producers, distributors...? "

   Roland was silent.

  He really can't quibble about this.

   After a pause for a while, and after finding that her husband hadn't made a sound, Kate spoke again and said, "If this is just to follow the procedure, then the next fourth link is even more puzzling to me...

You announced your retirement after the release of "Spider-Man 3", played outside with me for more than half a year, did not participate in any activities, did not participate in any promotions, and did not even attend the movie premiere of Ashley and Mary, but you Came back before Black Hawk Down came out and stayed for a month.

The point is, it just so happens that in the month we've been back, there's been so much going on in the world around Black Hawk Down, and after everything's happened, they're instantly intersecting and pointing back to what we were talking about five years ago topic of…

   Don't you think all this is too coincidental?

  Especially after the coincidence, the capital that has maintained a good relationship with us can take the initiative to come to the door and divide up most of the interests we have discussed... Can all of this really be explained by accidents? "

  When Kate looked straight at her husband and conveyed her doubts and puzzlement to Roland without any concealment, Roland, who was hugging his wife, felt his hands trembling constantly.

  Because there is no way to refute…

  Because there is no reason to refute...

  Because everything has long been taken into Kate’s eyes…

  'It's over! '

   Roland pursed his lips.

  If half an hour ago, he was happy to disassemble Sony, now he is only nervous about being exposed!

  'Hold the grass! She felt that there was no need to ask, what else did you ask her to say! '

  At this moment, Roland can't wait to give himself a slap!
