"Do you have time on the weekend? I can take you to a fun place?"
After a while, Quentin came to sit at the bar and Duca invited him.
"Where? Oh, needless to say, I get it. It's the underground gambling den organized by you and Andrew, right? Huh, Andrew asked me in such a mean way last time, but I sternly refused. This time too
Same, don't try to lead me astray."
Quentin said seriously with a catfish face.
Duka chuckled, wondering where this guy got his face and dared to call himself gay.
"Forget it if you don't go, as if someone insists on taking you."
"Wait a minute, actually it would be good to go and have a look. I'm running out of inspiration during this period. I might be able to find some inspiration by going to a shady place like yours."
Quentin touched his big chin and nodded slightly.
Duka didn't want to talk nonsense to him anymore,
"How is the script going? If you really can't write it, I can do it for you. Watching you write the script every day feels like constipation, and I feel particularly uncomfortable."
"You ghostwrite? Haha, Duka, I'm not looking down on you, can you write a script? Do you know the scene design of the script, and how do you design the storyline and plot direction? Do you know that the current audience likes to watch that kind of story?
?
Do you think that writing a script is just excerpting a story and making it into a movie is a script?
No, no, the script is an extremely complex project. Another name for the screenwriter is the ideological engineer. For a movie, the screenwriter is the core and foundation. Sometimes it is more important than the director and producer. A layman like you can't do it at all.
Not good at this."
Quentin said shamelessly.
Duka curled his lips, took a pen and wrote a simple scene on the drink list.
Two dealers went to collect the bill. In order to get the money as early as possible, they shot and killed several people. They were cruel and unscrupulous. At this time, a gangster suddenly rushed in from outside the door and fired more than ten shots at the two people.
The gun was shot, but the shot missed.

The two men immediately fired back, killing the little guy. When they checked the wall behind them, they found several bullet holes directly behind the two men. It was like the bullets would turn around and hit the two men.
The wall behind you.
One of the two drug dealers thought this was a miracle and that God was blessing them. In the end, the drug dealer decided to wash his hands and become a good person.
Similar to a plot in "Pulp Fiction".
"Look, this is a true story, a real experience of two of my friends."
According to the format of the script, Duca wrote ten wine lists, with text and pictures.
Compared with Quentin, who can't even draw simple figures, his simple figures are pretty good. They are all cartoon characters with big heads, big eyes, small mouths, and short bodies, which are very cute.
"Tsk, you are a grown man and you can still draw this."
Quentin twitched his lips while holding the drink list. Let’s not talk about the script. The cartoon characters are very authentic.
"You said this was your friend's real experience?"
"Yes!"
"Hmph, every time you tell a story, you always involve your friends, but I feel it is more like your personal experience. You were originally a special forces soldier, that is, a licensed killer.
Maybe during a mission, you encountered a miracle, so you retired from the world, right? I think this plot is most in line with your current actual situation."
Quentin said enthusiastically.
Duka sneered, "In front of me, no one can raise a gun and shoot at me randomly, because they will be shot in the head by me one second before the gun is released, Peng!"
Dukabi used two fingers here and shot Quentin in the forehead.
"What if you don't have a gun? There are always exceptions."
"Okay, what about this story? Is it dramatic?"
Duca tapped the wine list paper with his finger.
"Although it's a bit ridiculous, I can still watch it. If you want to be a screenwriter, I can teach you."
"No, I'm not interested in writing a script. I'm just writing a story for you to help you find inspiration."
Duca shook his head. This story is too early. Quentin hasn't written it yet. Reading this in advance won't inspire him to create. It's a waste.
——
At the weekend, a new round of underground card games began, and Duca took Quentin to a three-story cruise ship at the Long Beach Pier.
The cruise ship is named Laura, which is said to be named after one of Andrew's aunts, but there are also rumors that it is named after one of Getty Sr.'s lovers.
This cruise ship was rented by Andrew from his family. Their family asset company owns three large cruise ships, which are mainly used for banquets.
Andrew rented this cruise ship at a very low price as the venue for this poker game.
Although the price is relatively low, you still have to pay US$50,000 for two days and one night. Taking into account singing and dancing, food, drinks and other expenses, the budget for this event is around 200,000.
Spending 200,000 US dollars in two days, this kind of skill can only be achieved by the prodigal Andrew.
However, precisely because the scene is large enough, high-end, and gimmicky, many members take the initiative to invite acquaintances to join after experiencing it twice.
At present, there are more than 80 official members of Jasmine Poker and 12 core members.
Most of these people come from the film industry, including actors, directors, film company executives, brokerage company executives, and more than a dozen rich second generations brought by Andrew.
By the time the two arrived, the party had already begun. There were two hot girls with great figures performing a striptease on a round table. A group of wealthy second-generation people were surrounding them, making noises and throwing money around. Andrew was among them.
"Hey, look, how is it here?"
Andrew stretched out his arms and laughed.
"Tsk tsk~ It's really good, much hotter than the girls in the strip club."
Quentin stared at the beauties on the table eagerly, almost drooling.
"It's natural. It doesn't matter who hired me. The people I hired are definitely top-notch people."
Andrew said proudly.
"You are really good at playing."
Duca smiled and said, Andrew has spent tens of millions on eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and it is normal for him to be better at this.
"Hey, do you want to meet those two girls? I can help you introduce them."
Andrew winked at the two of them mischievously.
"Duka, do you want it?"
Quentin wiped the corners of his mouth and asked.
"Not interested."
These two girls are indeed good, but compared to Monica Sharon Stone, there is still a big gap.
After hearing that he didn't want it, Quentin reluctantly refused, with some regret on his face.
There is also a ballroom in the cabin, where a dance team from South America is dancing samba. There are men and women, wearing cool clothes. The women have a strong and sexy figure, and the men are also very strong.
A group of celebrities were sitting in the corner of the ballroom. They were watching the dance, tasting red wine, and chatting from time to time.
There are two acquaintances in this group, Robert Downey Jr. and Nicolas Cage. It is said that these two guys will come to every occasion as long as they are not working.
Robert Downey Jr. likes to take drugs, and Nicolas Cage likes to play cards, and they can all be satisfied here.
There are a few familiar guys next to them, including Oscar winner Jack Nicholson, famous director Martin Scorsese, and Julia Roberts, a loud-mouthed lady holding a cigarette, etc. A total of ten people have come so far.
Two, these three are the most famous.
"Why are they here? Is playing cards so interesting?"
Quentin exclaimed.
"You can try."
Among this group of people, Jasmine Bloom was also sitting. She was wearing a gorgeous long dress, holding a wine glass, and chatting with Big Mouth. She seemed to have a good relationship.
Seeing him arriving, Jasmine got up and walked over.
"Boss, do you want me to introduce it to you?"
Jasmine asked with a smile.
"No, just treat us as ordinary members. I'll get to know them myself when we play cards later."
"Okay, now is the warm-up show. When all the members arrive, we will start the card game again, which will be in an hour."
Jasmine looked at her watch and said.
"Go and do your work and don't worry about us."
Jasmine smiled slightly and returned to the crowd again.
After a while, more than twenty people came on board, and the atmosphere in the cabin became even more lively.
"Duka, do you always make it so big? It's like a Hollywood awards ceremony."
Quentin looked at the familiar faces and admired them.
"Of course not. A large party is usually held once a month or two months. The main purpose is to attract new members and create opportunities for everyone to communicate more. During the usual card games, we will choose a quieter place to simply play cards and chat."
Duca explained.
"What is your purpose in organizing this kind of card game? Is it really just to make money?"
Quentin held the tip of his chin, as if I didn't believe it.
"First of all, this is a card game organized by Jasmine and Andrew. It has nothing to do with me. I just know a little bit about the situation.
Secondly, the main purpose of organizing this kind of card game is to make money, and the secondary purpose is to make friends and kill boring time. Otherwise, what is your purpose?"
"It sounds pretty good. I'm going to join, too. How about it?"
Quentin looked at a group of big names in the circle and said.
"It's not that easy to join. This is a poker party. Official members must participate in more than three poker games, and core members must participate at least six times in a year.
Peripheral members who do not participate in the card game need to pay US$20,000 every year before they can receive an invitation to the party. When there are more card game members in the future, the fees will be higher. Which level of membership do you want to be?"
Duca smiled.
"20,000? Is the charge too high?"
"Isn't it worthwhile to spend 20,000 to attend such a party?"
Duca pointed at the live performance, as well as the celebrity directors at the party, and the high-level executives in the industry, who were all shining brightly.
For those who need opportunity, there are opportunities everywhere.
It is said that many projects and auditions in Hollywood are negotiated at the card table. If you can play cards with these people, you can get a lot of information and opportunities.
"If you think about it carefully, it's a good deal."
Quentin nodded.
When everyone arrived, the cruise ship slowly left the dock, and the card game began in the cabin below. There were not many people entering the cabin, less than twenty in total, all of whom were full members.
Other informal members and people who do not play cards can only play on it.
Duca exchanged 200,000 US dollars in chips and came to the bottom to play.
