"How is it? Is it beautiful?"

In the car, Monica put away her lipstick, pursed her plump red lips in front of the mirror, and spread the lip gloss fully.

"Beautiful, you are the most beautiful woman on the planet."

Duca said while driving the car.

"Haha, my dear, you are also the most handsome man in the world."

Monica blinked and smiled.

"Then we are a perfect match."

Duca stroked her cheek.

"Yes!"

"Ahem, how about you pull over and I get off first? I'm suddenly not hungry anymore."

In the back seat, Keanu Reeves scratched his forehead. If he had known better, he would not have come to eat with him.

Just now he took the script to LV Pictures and planned to find investment from Duca and Monica La.

As a result, I met two people holding hands at the door and going out to eat seafood.

Duca asked him if he wanted to go, but he thought for a moment and refused. It was a good time to chat about the script at the dinner table.

But no matter how hard I calculated, I never expected that these two guys were so annoying. Someone next to them would say such annoying things. I don’t know if they were embarrassed or not. Anyway, he was fuming with embarrassment.

"Why are you so awkward? Aren't Monica and I the most handsome man and the most beautiful woman in the world? Why don't you give me an example and tell me who is more handsome than me and who is prettier than Monica."

Duca asked rhetorically.

"Uh~"

Keanu looked at the script in his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, you all are."

"What is it?"

"....The most beautiful woman and the most handsome man in the world."

Except for me, Keanu Reeves added silently in his heart.

"That's pretty much it."

Duca smiled with satisfaction.

"Duka, stop joking, Keanu, tell me about the script you have."

Monica smiled slightly.

Keanu breathed a sigh of relief and handed over the script.

"This script is written by Graham Yost and is called "Speed". It tells the story of a retired police officer who spent many years planning to create a seamless money robbery.

In the plan, he planned to use the 13 hostages trapped in the elevator to steal money, but he was discovered and destroyed by the special police, the actor, and then the second actor wanted to take revenge on the actor."

"A police movie?"

Monica asked, flipping through the script.

"Yes, police and gangster action movies. I have achieved good results in shooting action movies in the past two years. The agency wanted to make me a capable action actor, so they searched everywhere for suitable movie projects for me.

Paramount Productions found the script last year and prepared to use Tom Cruise as the leading actor.

Later, after inspection and evaluation, they believed that the current development value of this type of film was not high.

Moreover, Tom Cruise's schedule was too full and he had no time to film this movie, so he abandoned the script.

After my agency got the script, they thought I was suitable, so they started looking for investment, hoping that I could be the leading actor. There are other action actors who are also in the market.

Thinking that your company has a lot of money and invested hundreds of millions in making a movie last year, it doesn't seem to be difficult to invest in my script, so I came to you for help, how about it?"

Keanu Reeves laughed.

Duca shook his head, "It's a pity that because our company has invested too much and has not recovered the cost, the production department decided last week to postpone the third film project plan for this year. This script of yours is really not the right time."

"real?"

Keanu said without giving up, "Last year Paramount made a budget, and if they used Tom Cruise as the leading actor, the budget would be only over 40 million. If they use me as the leading actor, the budget wouldn't be 30 million."

Moreover, we still have a film to be completed, and I can star in this film for free, with a smaller budget, why don’t you consider it?”

"Keanu, Duca is not kidding you. Last year, the company invested 90 million to shoot six movies. This year, the investment amount for two movies is around 40 million, a total of 130 million.

With six movies not released, the company really doesn't have the extra funds to start a third movie project.

If we wait another six months until "Unethical Deal" is released and does well at the box office, we may have the possibility of investing."

Monica said.

"Oh, that's such a pity."

Keanu had read the comments about LV Pictures in the newspaper and knew that Monica was telling the truth, but without the support of LV Pictures, it would be even more difficult for him to get the leading actor in this movie.

"What's the copyright status of this script?"

Duca asked casually while driving the car.

"The script was purchased by Paramount four years ago. The contract was signed for five years and expired this year. The script is still in the hands of screenwriter Graham Yost."

Keanu said.

"Is that so? Maybe you can get the script first and then slowly find people to invest."

Duca suggested.

"It's a good idea, I will consider it."

Keanu thought for a moment and said.

"Duka, stop the car, I'm not in the mood for seafood now."

"It'll be there soon."

"I really have no appetite. I'm going to find the next one."

Keanu sighed.

"Okay, don't worry, take your time. If you haven't found investment after "Immoral Deal" is released, maybe we will consider investing."

Duca stopped the car and said.

"Hey, thank you!"

Keanu smiled, got out of the car, called a taxi, and returned to Los Angeles.

"This guy is really unlucky."

Duca drove to a famous Italian seafood restaurant on the Irvine Pier and ordered some Mediterranean specialty seafood, such as cod, tuna, prawns, oysters, etc.

Eating too much of these things can aphrodisiac, and eating Dukka will make your anger rise.

"This script looks pretty good."

Monica ate less, so she read the script of "Speed" while eating.

"Yeah?"

Duca wiped his hands and read the script. It looked really good. It could be considered a mature police action movie.

However, the plot was looser than the "Speed" he had watched, and it didn't have that strong sense of urgency.

It seems that if you want to make this movie well, you still need to make more changes to the script, or find a director who is good at shooting intense action scenes, and let him modify and optimize the plot during filming to achieve the effect of the original version.

"It's not bad. How about taking it to enrich the script library?"

Duca said.

"The price of such a script that is being targeted is definitely very high, especially since we are targeting it again. Rumors in the industry say that the price of the script that is being targeted by us will at least double."

Monica smiled.

"It's simple. There are intermediaries everywhere. We don't come forward. We just find an intermediary company to take it over and then transfer it over."

"Sounds good, you can try it."

Monica nodded and called Producer Mini to explain the matter.

Producer Minnie is older and has average work ability, but he has been working in the industry for 20 or 30 years and is experienced. It is not difficult to do this kind of thing.

In less than three days, Minnie Productions obtained the script copyright of "Speed" through an agency. However, the price was relatively high. It cost 650,000 US dollars, which was worth the investment in a small-cost film.

Monica said it was a bit of a loss.

Duca knows that he has made a lot of money. This movie is Keanu's famous film. It invested 20 to 30 million and got 350 million in global box office. What is a mere 650,000?

"Maybe we can give Keanu a surprise later."

Duca held the script and smiled.
