Manhattan Reborn 1978

new York.

da film and television company.

The arrival of Elena Mesa allowed those who were discussing the script, characters, plot and other settings. .The creative staff were a little distracted. .

Especially Oliver Stone and two screenwriters from Los Angeles. .The three of them always seemed to have their eyes wandering around Elena~

Women seem to be born very sensitive and familiar with men’s eyes and thoughts~

Tangtang, Zina, Elena, and Mary Tyler Moore all felt a little funny and looked inside the man, reacting the most. .Normal Harvey.

Zina joked: "I think if Elena can guest play a role in our TV series, it will definitely catch the attention of all male viewers~"

Tangtang echoed on the side: "Yes~ It is absolutely possible to create a small unit for Elena and let her play a...charming female character~"

Mary also joined in and said, "I think this is a good idea. There will be all kinds of people coming and going in the bar. Elena can really be used as a unit... surprise character to make the audience shine!"

Elena didn't comment on what they said, she just looked at everyone with a smile. .

Harvey's eyes moved around the men and realized that they were all waiting for him to nod in agreement. .Some people have quick eyes. .He was so anxious that he was furious. .

He smiled and raised his hand to touch the beard that had just grown on his chin, spread his hands and said: "Of course~ I can't ask for this~"

"Elena, if you are willing, we can design a tailor-made character... How about you come and make a cameo then?"

"Good~!"

Elena answered very simply~

The men became a little excited and their eyes started to shine. .

The women looked at each other, smiled and shook their heads. .

Elena's arrival made several people who didn't know her sigh in their hearts~

With her appearance, temperament, and conversation, she is no less than the top actresses in Hollywood today!

Xina, Tangtang, and Harvey, who know some of her identity information, are all very interested in Elena. .

Xina, who has had the most contact with Elena, doesn’t understand why Elena chose to stay with her~

This beauty made money from Forrest Gump. . 80 meters!

As a result, that night at the French restaurant, she kept telling David that she needed a new job, otherwise she would be hungry~

this. .Could it be one of the reasons why David refused to wear her by his side?

Because there was too little information and clues, Zina couldn't figure it out~ so. .Just don’t think about it anymore~

Find a time to ask David. .Elena is one after all. .What's going on!

. . .

In the film and television company, discussions about scripts and roles have begun again.

As a complete layman, Elena sat aside with great interest, patiently listening to their discussion as a melon-eater. .

After a while, Elena roughly understood the key points of their discussions and arguments~

The first is the characters and plot.

Regarding combining drama and authenticity, it still needs to be half and half. .With a bias towards authenticity, he connected various things that happened around people and made them into small unit dramas, and everyone was divided into three factions. .Everyone talks about their own reasons!

Harvey and Tangtang think that it is a good point to see the real character prototypes and events that David once mentioned in this drama.

Oliver's idea for the two of them means that when viewers watch dramas, they like characters and plots that are slightly dramatic and exaggerated.

If you want to see real people and events, there are many of them around you~ why should you watch them? .What about TV?

Two Hollywood screenwriters affirmed Oliver's argument~

After a busy day at work, the audience may not necessarily like to sit on the sofa in the living room and watch TV series while reliving something that someone around them did during the day. .Things that leave people speechless~

And Mary, the hottest female TV star at the moment, expressed some agreement with both parties’ views~

She once starred in "The Mary Tyler Moore Show". .A combination of half drama and half reality~

Mary in the play, the people she meets in the metropolis, and the things she experiences, there are many negative and dark aspects, all of which are given by the screenwriter and director. .Cut off~

Mary, as the protagonist in the play, her growth and experience is that of a girl constantly searching for herself, getting answers, and striving to realize herself in the metropolis. .Dream story~

Her stories are more dramatic than anything else. .Authentic~

Those audiences only like Mary, and they like this kind of story ending that they can't encounter, get, or expect in real life!

However, Mary wanted Zina to play a role in this drama because she wanted to change her screen image!

There are too many dramatic plot settings. She has already left a deep impression on people in the last drama!

Therefore, Mary needs to have one for her role in this drama. .Subversive change~ Let yourself no longer be limited by the image in "Marie Show"!

During the discussion, she expressed her thoughts~

After everyone listened, they all looked at each other. .

Harvey and Tangtang, of course, fully support Mary’s ideas~

Oliver and two screenwriters, about this. .Then he wisely chose to shut up. .

Zina sat aside and listened for a long time. After Harvey finished speaking with a smile, she continued: "Actually, from my point of view, your argument... you have forgotten a very important thing!"

"Um...what is it?"

"Da Film and Television Company is an independent company that produces this TV series. When we discuss the script, should we also consider whether it can be sold at a good price?"

"The joining of Mary and Elena can bring many surprises and highlights to this drama~"

"So in terms of the plot and characters of the TV series, we can completely separate them from the dramatic plot and characters~"

"It's like...we're in New York~"

"Some people have been living in some of their own fantasies and can't extricate themselves~"

"There are people who have always suffered setbacks in life, but still never choose to give up or stop chasing~"

"Some people come here, encounter an opportunity, and realize their dreams... But they don't know that behind these, there is a price that has already been marked~"

"There are still people who come here, just like me. They once felt that they had achieved success and became the big winner in life. But when the song came to an end, they were shocked to find that the fame and fortune they had been pursuing for many years... , they all dissipate in an instant like fireworks and bubbles~"

"Success and failure~are always surrounding people~"

"Happiness and sadness~ always bring tears to our eyes~"

"Since everyone thinks unit drama is a good idea, we can shoot it into short films~"

"This drama, the dreamy dramatic life in the bar, is always looked forward to by real people~"

"And real people living in reality can also find some of their past dreams in this show and this bar?"

Xina's voice carries her memories and hers. .Enlightenment, take it with you. .Some realistic microcosms of her life in New York for more than 20 years ~

These words caused everyone present to recall certain fragments of their memories in their minds~

Elena has always regarded herself as an outsider, watching and listening to everyone's discussions~

Xina's words made her right. .This former social queen has gained some deeper understanding!

"ok~guys~"

Mary, who woke up first, signaled everyone to come back to their senses. .

"Just like Zina said just now~"

"Some of the real events happening around us may be things that the screenwriters scratched their heads and didn't even dare to think about!"

“Drama and authenticity have always been one and the same!”

"We might as well make each episode into a small unit and treat each season as a staged node in time."

"Create a TV series with multiple clues, multiple characters, and multiple plots that develop in parallel, and finally come together to create an explosive ending like a chemical reaction?!"

"The characters in the play can participate in multiple plots and clues~ We can lay a lot of foreshadowing through the continuous interweaving of characters and events, and wait until the end of the season to completely explode it~"

"Let the audience continue to follow every episode and every season and constantly guess the future direction of the characters and plots in our series~"

"In this way, the series can sell well and be successful, and some of everyone's ideas can also be realized. I will also become more broad-minded in the choice of characters in the series~"

"Win more~! What do you think?"

"I think...it's feasible!"

"Hmm...that's a good idea!"

After listening to Mary's words, everyone thought for a moment and raised their hands in agreement.

As a screenwriter who joined later, Oliver also agreed with Mary's ideas ~

However, such a script seems to him. .

He raised his hand to signal to everyone: "To write such a script...with the abilities of just a few of us, we cannot complete it in a short time~We need more people to help~"

"In addition, we also need a capable director who can present it perfectly!"

Wall Street.

Morgan Stanley conference room on the fourth floor.

Bernard Madoff, after thinking about it, chose. .Leave~

But before he left, he hesitated and said to David: "We will meet again~!"

David smiled and shrugged without saying anything and sent him to the elevator. .

Returning to the conference room, he sat in his old seat, recalled the unexpected meeting between the two, and shook his head.

Madoff did not refuse clearly, which shows that he was somewhat moved by David~

Bernard Madoff was able to carefully run a scam for decades until the subprime mortgage crisis broke out. .

David had to admire Madoff. .Careful thinking and extraordinary ability!

Behind running the world's largest Ponzi scheme, Madoff put in so much effort, thought, time, and experienced many frightening nights. .

No one knows any of this!

From David's perspective, Madoff's pursuit of fame was more important than profit.

Fame and fortune, in the eyes of ordinary people, are inseparable~

Fame can bring benefits to people.

Profit can also bring fame to people.

When Madoff gained some fame, he whitewashed it in front of people. .Extremely beautiful!

The price of the huge reputation that the Ponzi scheme brought to Madoff was to make him sink into quicksand and swamp, unable to extricate himself!

David chose to stand on the safe shore and lend him a helping hand!

Madoff on this. .Undecided!

David can understand Madoff’s hesitation~

The reason is also very simple, David's strength is just not enough!

If Madoff reached out to help. .Old Morgan!

Madoff will never hesitate~!

"Tsk~..."

From another point of view.

Whether Madoff would agree just now is not very important to David~

There is never a shortage of excellent people in New York~

Why hang from a tree?

After some random thoughts, David drank a glass of juice and continued his work. .Chewing information work~

----

Stanley, in Pine's office.

Giles and Leslie were sitting across from Pine.

Pine picked up the mortgage loan documents that Leslie brought, looked through them briefly, and glanced at Giles in surprise.

"You, Laura, and Lilith have... decided?"

"Hmm~"

"Then... do you want to put this money in Stanley's investment fund?"

Giles thought for a moment, shook his head uncertainly and said, "I haven't thought about it yet~ Do you have any ideas?"

Pine smiled and looked at Leslie: "What about you? Do you have any investment ideas?"

Leslie tilted his head with a relaxed expression and said with a smile: "If you want me to find someone to be the investment operator, I can help!"

"Hmm... This method is not bad~ But... don't rush it yet~ We can wait!"

"Wait? Wait for what?"

Pine shook his head with a smile: "Waiting for Bloomer, waiting for David, waiting for DA Company, etc.. The investment of the Sidrich family, and also waiting for the decision of old Mr. Morgan and Mr. Seamus!"

"Of course~ We also need to wait for Panaris, Elder, Cheryl, and Grace!"

"Uh... Okay~" Giles had a little headache over these things~

"Pine, you can handle this matter~ I'm going to work~"

"ok~"

Giles is out ~ Leslie is sitting tight. .

Pine looked at him with some confusion: "Is there anything else?"

"In a few days, I will also come up with a sum of money and leave it with you~"

"We were talking just now...do we need your help to find a trader?"

"Yeah~ These are two things, there is no conflict!"

"Uh... Okay! I will register a new investment fund company and open an account. Then we can deposit all our money into it~"

"Ok!"

Leslie hesitated for a moment, looked at Pine who was waiting patiently, and asked what he had always wanted to ask. .Question ~

"Why...why do you all trust David Coleman so much?"

Pine's eyes widened slightly, the smile on his face slowly faded, and he leaned back on the chair. He thought about Leslie's question seriously and gave an answer.

"Lucky boy David, he doesn't actually need our approval~"

"We just need to bring a pen and paper and take notes!"

Leslie was confused by this answer~

"Then what?...gone?"

"Yes~"

"Um...what the hell is your answer?"

"Hahaha~"

Pine laughed heartily~

He pointed to the door and said: "Maybe you can go to Nelent Ramon and find an answer that satisfies you~!"

"The more Giles and I come into contact with David, the more... I can't explain why we... trust him~!"

"It's not that I don't want to say it~ but... I can't explain this feeling~!"

Emm. . .

I feel like it would be better not to ask if I asked. .Leslie scratched his head, rolled his eyes at Pine, and turned around to walk out.

"Tell me when you can figure it out!"

"Haha~Okay~"

Manhattan, 42th Street.

Not far away diagonally across from the Wildfire Bar is the Allston Police Officer's Office!

Working overtime continuously these days, not eating well, sleeping well, smelling strange, etc., gave Auston a headache~

The phone on the desk rang again~

A middle-aged man in a police uniform with an unshaven beard, with dark circles under his eyes, picked up the phone while swearing in a low voice. He held a pen and took notes while answering~

Ever since Matthews promised informants on the street that if they find clues about the bank robbers and bring them to justice, they can get a lot of bonuses. .

These street informants broke out and made Auston speechless. .Amazing potential!

Bounty hunter, this profession has been around for a long time!

Street informants holding auxiliary police badges, under the huge bounty, burst out with enthusiasm, which made Auston's office call. .It hasn’t stopped these days!

So far, the police have captured five bank robber gangs based on clues provided by informants and auxiliary police officers. The total number of principals and accomplices has exceeded 20. .

Matthews has not broken the promises he once made~

The auxiliary police officers who provided clues and assisted in the arrest received a large check that made them very satisfied and happy!

inside these people. .There are several people who have never had their own bank account since childhood. .I have no idea how to deposit a check into a bank. .

because. .They never saved once!

After they got the money, they showed off to some of their former friends and drank to celebrate~

After drinking too much, I started to have no control over my mouth. .

Everything started to go out. .

As a result, this is the current situation. .

Auston arranged two patrol brothers at the door of his office to block the street gangsters who wanted to be bounty hunters. .

Auston reported the incident to Matthews and complained a lot about it~

Matthews said cheerfully: "Don't worry about these little things, buddy! I'll write them all down for you in your credit book!"

Auston expressed his cordial greetings to Matthews, a boss who used people like animals, to his family~

But after hanging up the phone~

Auston couldn't help but feel happy~

Of the five bank robber gangs caught by the police, four were arrested by Auston~

He is now the most handsome guy in the entire New York police system!

The black and shiny kind. .Criminal buster!

hehe~
