American TV series

Chapter 195: The Harmony from the Elephant Party

The crew of "Basic Instinct" has finished filming and started post-production at this time, and Sharon Stone and others have nothing to do.

Sean's sudden arrival made Sharon Stone very happy.

Being able to come to Hollywood to find her means that Sean has not forgotten her, which is more important than anything else.

Having tasted the role of a heroine, she cherished this feeling and understood that this opportunity was given to her.

Catwoman Michelle Pfeiffer visits late at night, Sharon Stone transforms into a police officer, and a three-way mixed doubles fight begins in the villa.

The three of them fought from the swimming pool to the living room, and then from the living room to the bathroom. The smell of the battle was left on both women...

After playing for a whole day, Sean cleared away the gloom and finally had time to go to the company.

Is Sean looking for a woman?

So narrow-minded!

Sean came to see the rough cut of "Basic Instinct".

In the screening room, Sean sometimes frowned and sometimes relaxed as he watched the 280 minutes of rough cuts.

When the editing reaches this level, Paul himself feels a little unable to go under the knife.

Why do Hollywood directors basically never get the final editing rights?

In fact, the struggle for power plays a very small role in this. The real situation is that as the director of the filming, the scenes that can be left behind are all the scenes that he imagined in his heart and is satisfied with.

Due to some artistic pursuits, directors like to add some profound, ironic, and critical elements to their films. This is true for the more pursuing directors and the more famous they become.

The director treats the things he shoots like his own children, and is always reluctant to cut off even a single bit.

And this is not friendly to the audience.

After all, we cannot expect audiences with generally low academic qualifications to have such a deep level of aesthetic appreciation.

The audience is not the judge. When the audience enters the cinema, they are more willing to see something that makes them happy, scared, exciting, etc. and stimulates their senses.

This actually conflicts with the director.

Therefore, professional editors are needed at this time, and there is usually an ‘editing award’ in any film award.

Editors often get into fights with directors...

Whether the final film is good or not, and whether it has a high box office, depends on the director on the one hand, and the editing on the other.

After comparing the original film in his mind, Sean thought for a while and said: "Editor, cut the film once according to my requirements."

Sean suddenly spoke, and everyone in the screening room looked over.

It's true that Sean is the boss, and it's true that he has money, but this is Hollywood, and this is making a movie, which is a very professional matter. Even if the script is written by Sean, I have never heard of the screenwriter being able to edit it.

Editing is very professional, a very professional thing!

No one believes that Sean can edit well. There is no such precedent in Hollywood and the world.

Although these artists like money, they are actually very proud at heart.

(Ahem, bad code writers always like to add information to the text... I can't control how many posts I send, and then I get scolded by the readers.)

"Okay!" Norris stood up immediately and turned on the light, "Why are you still dazed? Come on, it's an honor for you to let the boss take action personally."

Does it matter whether the boss knows how to cut?

No!

The most important thing is that the boss is happy!

A group of people secretly glanced at Norris with disgust, this guy has no shame!

Sean didn't bother to care what they thought, he only knew that the original film made money, a lot of money!

Oh, I think I won an award too...

According to the original film in my mind, Sean was wielding big scissors. Under Paul's ugly expression, large sections of the plot were cut out at Sean's request.

Finally, Paul couldn't stand it anymore and turned around angrily and left.

I was busy in the editing room all afternoon until late at night, and there were about 140 minutes left in the entire film.

The original film should be more than 120 minutes long, but Sean can only remember so much.

Everyone, even Paul, who had just run away in anger, came back with a dark face.

Re-screening, slowly, damn, don’t tell me, it’s pretty good!

People in the screening room and the creative team always peeked at Sean from time to time. The effect of the finished film was beyond their expectations, well, it was beyond expectations.

This shouldn't be something created by an amateur.

This shouldn't be the case!

The suspense, thriller, and suddenness of the finished film are all very good, especially Sharon Stone's charm that comes from the bottom of her heart. After being edited, it is infinitely amplified, and people can't help but think of something after watching it...

screen.

Gan!

As the screening ended and the lights were turned on, Norris was the first to stand up and applaud loudly. Others also stood up and applauded Sean vigorously this time.

Miracle!

They witnessed a miracle!

Sean stood up with a smile, raised his hands and pressed them down, "Fuck it, Fuck it!"

It wasn't until the applause stopped that Sean smiled and said, "There's only so much I can do. You can refine it yourself later."

"Then, my mission is accomplished."

"Wish our movie a big hit at the box office!"

"A big hit at the box office!" the crowd cheered loudly.

Sean came out of the screening room, and Norris followed closely, "Boss, you are really amazing. I think there is nothing you can't do. You are a god!"

The horses were shot too stiffly, but Sean said it was okay!

"Tonight, there are a few actresses who want to learn from you. Look..." Norris came over and whispered.

Sean paused, thought for a while and said, "I don't have time these days, let's do it next time."

Sean sternly refused!

Today I have to go to the "Die Hard" crew. Last night it was a feast of meat and fish. What I wanted was a physical indulgence.

Diane Lane is a fresh person who wants spiritual satisfaction.

People must have higher pursuits!

What's more, "Die Hard" needs his help with something.

In fact, John was looking for Sean a while ago, but the attack happened and things were delayed.

"The explosion scene was planned in the plot. At this time, the FBI rescue helicopter parked on the roof of the building, and was finally... blasted by the robbers!" John opened his hands and shouted in a somewhat crazy manner: "You know, how terrible this scene will be.

Shocking?"

"No movie has really done this yet, and we will be the first to do it!"

"Blow up a helicopter on top of a skyscraper!"

"This is sure to shock everyone!"

"This will become a classic, a classic that everyone will try to imitate!"

As he spoke, John suddenly spread his hands in despair, "But I need the other party's consent to detonate on the roof."

"But the other party didn't agree to do this because they were afraid that the building would really be blown up."

"I also need a helicopter to blow up."

Sean's mouth twitched, and he finally understood why the cost of filming "Die Hard" was so high.

You are really punished!

Shooting this in a real scene, good guy, you didn’t pay for it, so don’t you feel bad about it, right?

Sean was so impressed. He was just thinking about being shocked, so why did he think about my wallet?

But things have reached this point, and the rest of the entire film has basically been shot, and just like that, Sean couldn't help but disagree.

This time he finally realized Twentieth Century Fox's fear of truck drivers.

That’s real, you never know how much money he will ask you for later!

The agreed-upon filming fee of 12 million, what the hell...

I will never believe you again!

Sean left with a dark face. He had to contact a blasting expert to ensure that no damage would be caused to the stairs of the building.

Then you have to contact the insurance company and pay a huge insurance premium.

Only by doing this will the building owner agree.

After all, it’s money, money, money…

There is nothing that money cannot solve.

The advice given by blasting experts is to add a buffer layer, a fireproof layer, and an explosion-proof layer to the roof of the building to ensure that no damage is caused to the building.

Experts are only responsible for giving opinions. As for the cost issue, it has nothing to do with me!

Working at heights, construction costs, downtime costs, materials, labor...

Sean's head was buzzing as he looked at that fee.

"I'll give you a big show!"

"I let you spend money randomly!"

"Fuck you to death!" Sean yelled in his heart, his waist getting stronger and stronger...

Diane Lane's delicate body trembled wildly and her head shook, making people faint.

After staying in Los Angeles for three days and watching an NBA game, Sean returned to Newark exhausted.

It only lasted three days, and it cost more than 6 million. This did not include the cost of the plane. I still had to contact the military to get a scrapped helicopter back.

This time it was really scrapped...

Sean has decided that if "Die Hard" doesn't sell well, he will send John to the Peace Hotel. Damn it, he has to sell his butt to make money for me!

In fact, Sean also wanted to relax in Hollywood for a few more days, but something happened here in New Jersey and he had to come back.

Peter is here.

During the few days he was in Hollywood, the plan against Santos had already begun.

At first, several tabloids purchased by Sean were reporting on it. Because the news was so explosive, several major newspapers also followed suit.

When the report came out, Santos had no intention of suppressing the news, but those tabloids belonged to Sean, and his connections were completely useless.

Immediately, Santos approached the Elephant Party, but the news had already spread, but several major newspapers did not participate immediately to give the Elephant Party face, but after all, the Elephant Party cannot control all media.

No one can control it either.

Especially on the third day, after the photos of the bows with coded eyes and chest were exposed...

The news completely exploded.

At the same time, the district attorney on the Donkey Party side launched an investigation into Santos.

Santos is also a veteran congressman, and his information channels are quite wide. When the investigation started here, someone notified him there.

"Damn it, who is it? Did that guy Sean do it!" Santos gritted his teeth after hearing the news, waved his arms and shouted: "It must be him, it must be!"

"I don't know who it is, but you have to think of a way."

"How dare he, how dare he, I..." Santos kept mumbling forcefully. In fact, he was already scared, very scared.

"I, I didn't participate in the attack on him. I don't know, really, how I could do something like that!"

"Okay, man, it's useless for you to tell me about this kind of thing. Think of a way and find someone to communicate with you."

"I know, I know." Santos found the person in charge of the Elephant Party here in a panic, and the other person also frowned upon hearing this.

"You are sure you are not involved!"

"Of course, of course I didn't, how could I do that kind of thing, am I crazy!" Santos held his head, he was frightened when he found out.

Brewster Jesse stared at Santos for a while, and he did not believe that Santos had such courage.

In addition, he also does not think there is anything wrong with what Santos did before.

There is nothing wrong with helping the donor speak.

"Peter, in our party, you should know him. He was an engineer at Sean Construction Company. After Sean bought the construction company, he withdrew and then sued the construction company to court. Things broke out last year.

It was quite sensational, and later he joined the Elephant Party." Brewster Jesse slowly told Sean's past.

They will investigate clearly the past history of party members.

"He, the person behind him is Sean?" Santos is also an old congressman, so he naturally understands everyone's usual operating methods, and he understood it immediately.

"Yes, let him come forward to communicate with Sean. You know, it is not convenient for me to come forward directly." Brewster Jesse said in a low voice.

It's best if Peter can convince Sean. If he can't, he still has room for maneuver.

"Okay, thank you, I'll go find Peter right now." Santos stood up and walked out quickly without any delay.

"Peter, come on, sit down. Is it going well with things like this lately?" Sean asked Peter to sit down.

"It's okay, I want to participate in the Senate election this time." Peter is no longer the engineer he once was, and now he is very politician.

"Ready?"

"That's about it. No matter how much you prepare, you still have to run for election. Even if you don't succeed this time, it will be a good publicity and lay the foundation for next time." Peter said with a smile: "It's good that someone has the first time.

The election was successful, but Mr. Bush also failed in his first attempt as a state legislator."

He has a good attitude.

"That's right." Sean nodded. People say that Americans don't care about seniority. This is actually wrong.

Any country pays attention to seniority, and those in positions of power will promote the issue of seniority for the sake of their remuneration at the end of their political career and after retirement.

It's just that capitalism is not that serious.

"However, you must also be prepared for success. After all, I am behind you." Sean smiled and pointed at himself.

He must push Peter to the position of senator this time.

If you want to gain a foothold anywhere, you have to show off your skills.

This kind of thing seems to be very low-level, but it has always existed and will continue to exist in the future.

Peter was very happy in his heart, but his face looked calmer, and he just expressed his gratitude.

After chatting for a while, it was Sean who started the conversation, "I'm here for that old guy Santos."

"Yes." Peter didn't say much. He knew that if Sean was willing to let Santos go for his sake, he would tell him directly. If not, his persuasion would be useless.

"I will definitely send Santos to prison this time, well, my prison!" Sean said decisively, and waved his arm vigorously.

Peter nodded, "I understand."

"But boss, you have to be careful about the retaliation from the Elephant Party."

"This has nothing to do with right or wrong. It is impossible for the Elephant Party to just watch Santos being sent to prison without any reaction. That would be too shameful."

Sean nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Go back and tell Santos that the congressmen are elected by the people. The purpose of congressmen is to communicate, between the people and the government, and between the government and the people."

"When something happens, the first thing you should think about is how to communicate privately, rather than talking randomly!"

"Santos has forgotten the value of his existence. He thinks that the power comes from himself, but unfortunately, that is not the case!" As he said this, Sean took a deep look at Peter.

Peter's pupils shrank, and what Sean asked him to tell Santos was actually meant for Brewster Jesse and himself.

"You know, disaster comes from the mouth!"

"Everyone must be responsible for what they have done, and I am no exception. Therefore, I almost died a few days ago, and he is no exception."

"If you make a mistake, you must admit it; if you are beaten, you must stand at attention!"

"I understand, I will tell them." Peter nodded and stood up.

Peter didn't go to Santos, that guy was finished and there was no need to keep dating.

Brewster Jesse's lips curled up after listening to what Sean brought over.

A good self-discipline prevented him from laughing out loud.

Although the United States does not have the saying "kill the chicken to scare the monkey", the meaning is universal.

Young people are quite angry.

In Brewster Jesse's political career of more than 20 years, he has seen many young people like this. They are always so aggressive, always unable to bear any grievance, and always thinking that they are omnipotent.

But don’t even think about who you are facing!

Sean was determined to bring Santos down, but he had no choice but to make Santos himself unclean.

Well, not many people are really clean.

That wasn't what he was laughing at. What was funny was Sean's attitude.

Brewster Jesse admitted that Sean did a pretty good job at a young age and had a background in the Rockefeller family.

However, Sean's rise to prominence was too short, and he hadn't experienced any hardships yet. He didn't know that society was not what they saw.

Yes, when they see Sean's young appearance, they always look down upon him.

This is also true for him, too. This is a matter of inertia, and it's useless even if you remind yourself often.

If he were a veteran New Jersey boss, Santos would never dare to speak so impulsively in front of the media.

One thing Sean is right about is that the first thing a congressman or politician should do when encountering a problem is to communicate.

After all, politicians are not soldiers. They rely on their brains and words to make a living.

But that doesn’t mean you can kill Santos’ political future!

He is a member of the Xiang Party. Even if he makes a mistake, it should be dealt with within the Xiang Party. It is not your junior's turn to show off his power.

What's more, he is a leader of the Elephant Party and one of the senators in Congress. He has been in the political arena for more than 20 years. It was he who asked Santos to entrust Peter to communicate.

This is already a sign of submission, not to mention that you have already dealt a heavy blow to Santos in the media, and you have avenged any grudges you had.

But for a junior like you to say such a thing without giving him any face, Brewster Jesse, it's impossible not to be angry.

Whether it's for Xiang Dang's face or for him personally, he must take revenge.

Just, pay attention to propriety.

Politics is the art of compromise.

"Sir, this is the information you want." After receiving Sean's reply during the day, Brewster Jesse joined the party team to investigate all the assets in Sean's name.

Depending on the party's ability, it's not too easy to get real information.

Brewster Jesse took the report with a relaxed expression, smiled and let people go down.

Read page by page.

(PS: Except for New York State, all stores of this group include land)

Of course Brewster Jesse has heard of Sean's Fitness. In the past year or so, it has rapidly expanded to the entire New Jersey, annexing several relatively good fitness brands. Moreover, he is also a member of Sean's Fitness.

It’s not that I like fitness that much, but as a politician and the head of the New Jersey region of the Elephant Party, many people give me gifts.

Sean Fitness membership card is one of them.

He has been there several times and feels very good, especially the personal training...

Good figure, full of motivation, unique flavor,

Thinking of Brewster Jesse, his hands unconsciously rested on his waist.

Just a bit weak...

He can't handle it at this age.

Ahem, and after shaking off the thoughts that he wanted to have but shouldn't have, Brewster Jesse's face became serious.

Only when he saw this report did he realize that Sean Fitness around him had grown so big.

In particular, the "high" potential assessment indicates that the fitness group will not slow down in its development in the future.

This is very scary. You must know that many rich people who have been developing for decades cannot earn hundreds of millions.

Shaking his head, Brewster Jesse continued to read the information at the back.

Group net assets: US$28.54 million

Development prospects: high

(PS: According to internal information, the transportation company is planning to build a logistics center, which will completely monopolize the logistics field in New Jersey)

Seeing this, Brewster Jesse looked a little ugly.

He also knew about Sean's transportation. After Dimeo was destroyed, he heard that Sean had used some means to acquire their transportation vehicles from some construction companies and real estate companies, mainly for the transportation of building materials.

At that time, several companies that Xiangdang was familiar with were targeted and they still found him. However, although Sean's methods were despicable, there was nothing wrong with them, and the price was not low, so the matter was forgotten.

Unexpectedly, it has developed to this extent now.

Moreover, what kind of logistics center should be built? Although he didn't understand what the hell this logistics center was, it must be very important if it could be specially marked and evaluated as 'high'.

These two companies alone have net assets of over 100 million?

Oh shit!

Just kidding!

Brewster Jesse felt mixed emotions in his heart: envy, jealousy, and hatred!

Keep reading.

Sean Environmental: Headquarters Trenton

Company debt ratio: 70%

Company net worth: $25.5 million

Development prospects: Medium

(PS: Environmental Protection Group, which undertakes the entire New Jersey garbage disposal business, has a lot of employees, and is an indispensable part of New Jersey)

Seeing this, Brewster Jesse's face twitched fiercely.

The garbage disposal business, which everyone avoided in the past, has now developed so much that oil can be squeezed out of the garbage.

Shit!

I feel sick just thinking about it, but...

What a sudden, a profitless industry has become a promising industry, not to mention that garbage disposal is related to people's livelihood, it is a bomb-like existence, and no one should mess with it.

What's more, Sean's power in wielding the environmental protection stick really shocked veteran figures like them.

Thinking about it, Brewster Jesse gritted his teeth, damn Santos, you brainless idiot!

Turn to the next page.

Shawn Bank: Headquarters New York

Stores owned: 52 (47 new stores added within half a year)

Bank valuation: $55 million

Development prospects: (extremely high)

(PS: The bank is expanding its business in Cartagena. Due to the existence of the Cartagena Industrial Zone, Sean Bank’s overseas business will surge in the future)

Extremely high!?

Looking at these two words, Brewster Jesse stood up suddenly. Damn it, extremely high praise. He hadn't seen it in a report for many years!

This means that the bank under Sean's name will experience explosive growth in the future.

However, if you look at the "new additions within six months" specially marked in the report, you will know that it has been in an explosive state in the past six months.

If this continues, the bank under Sean's name will skyrocket.

Isn't it? The IRS can control drug dealers in the United States, but it cannot control drug dealers in Colombia...

After Cartagena's trading area has completely established itself, the funds that banks can mobilize will become very scary.

Falk, Falk, Falk, Brewster Jesse cursed hard.

Looking sideways, he saw that the report was quite thick... He suddenly realized that he seemed to have gotten into big trouble for no reason!

Santos, why don't you die!

Peace Hotel: Location Newark

Area: 40 acres

(PS: According to the information obtained, the security is extremely high, the concealment is extremely high, any form of transaction is provided internally, the possibility of exposure is low, the food, accommodation and entertainment are integrated, the ultra-high-end consumption place, the best place for the upper class and criminals

Enclave)

(PS2: According to rumors, its core Xinghui Nightclub has a unique concept and novel gameplay. It is a paradise for men (women). It is highly recommended!)

Brewster Jesse:???

I've heard people say this before. An underground boxing match started a few days ago. It's said that the contestants were brought out of prison, and the fight was very bloody.

Thinking of this, Brewster Jesse was stunned on the spot.

prison?

prison!

Isn't it?

Well, whether it was or not, it doesn't matter now.

Brewster Jesse Mental Arithmetic…

A few minutes later, Brewster Jesse picked up the calculator and calculated, 8000+2854+2250+5500+7200=264 million!

When Brewster Jesse saw the last number, his hand shook and the calculator flew out.

Shit!

2.64!?

Crazy!

How many properties in New Jersey have assets exceeding 264 million?

Even if you include those invisible assets, can there be more than 10?

Brewster Jesse knew that he should be able to exceed it, but it would definitely not be much!

In other words, in just two years, Sean has become one of the top 20 richest people in New Jersey?!

No, Brewster Jesse suddenly rang out, I haven’t finished reading the information, there are many more!

His chest kept rising and falling, and his hands shook uncontrollably.

I had always heard that Sean had done this or that, and it always made a lot of news, which old-school people like them were not used to.

He's just a little kid, a guy with no hair at all. Do you think he can become a real upper class person by relying on this little mafia trick?

ha!

It's simply ridiculous. So what if Dimio has been developing for decades, but he hasn't really entered the upper class in the end!

There are more rich people in the United States, more invisible rich people, and countless powerful and deep-rooted family forces.

This is the United States, the largest country in the world!

He is just a newcomer who has just emerged for more than a year, and his weight in their decades of political career is not worth mentioning. This is the confidence of politicians in the largest country.

People like them focus more on the international world, and they usually talk about international events at gatherings!

Of course, American affairs are international affairs...

Sean?

Take your time, boy.

These are the old-school figures. They have rich experience and are well-informed. In their decades of political career, they have seen too many geniuses suddenly rise and suddenly decline. Only those who have passed the test of time and finally stayed can be recognized.

They recognize it.

It is precisely because they are experienced and well-informed that they are so conservative, stubborn, and aloof.

They stubbornly believe in their own experience and judgment, and disdain to be shocked by some people or events, because those who are easily shaken and those who are not firm enough have been eliminated.

And it is these experiences that have allowed them to go through decades and reach today, which tells them that such a short period of time cannot afford to cause any trouble.

It wasn't until today, until he had someone sort out all the information about Sean, and it wasn't until he took a serious look at it that he discovered it.

In just two years, this person outside their gaze, this person outside the traditional industry, suddenly became a behemoth.

Even though he suddenly rose up without going through any major tests, it was so big that it made people like them find it difficult.

Brewster Jesse took a deep breath and calmed himself down slowly. Over the years, he had encountered many life-and-death events, and he knew what to do when faced with such things.

After taking a deep breath for ten minutes and confirming that he had completely calmed down, Brewster Jesse looked through the information at the back again.
