    "Can't you handle the TV copyright issue alone?" Looking at Ashley who was twiddling her fingers in boredom, George shook his head: "Those guys are really like lions, they are really hateful"

    Originally, George thought that Ashley came to bring good news. Unexpectedly, the little guy only brought one sentence: "The price NBC TV station asked for is too high, and the deal has collapsed."

    If the old version of "Knight Rider" brought people endless joy and memories, then the movie version of "Knight Rider 2000" released last year really has nothing to say.  After five years, NBC made a 90-minute movie version of this TV series and made a fortune. However, the response was a bit mediocre because the audience's appetite was whetted by the recent science fiction blockbusters.  , many people watch this movie more for the memories of the past, and the entire movie, both in terms of pictures and plot, can be said to be unattractive to young people who have not experienced that era.

    Under such circumstances, NBC naturally has no plans to film a new season.  Originally, the Olsen sisters followed George's suggestion and came to inquire. Unexpectedly, when the vampires saw a fat sheep taking the bait, they naturally raised the price.  A fledgling entertainment company like the Olsen sisters doesn't have that much money to spend, so it's understandable that the negotiations between the two parties ended on bad terms.

    "TV rights, publicity fees, actors' remuneration, and scheduled filming expenses" Ashley bit her nails and complained dissatisfiedly, "I originally planned to shoot at least 20 episodes for the new season of the TV series, but now it seems that the most is only  We can shoot 12 episodes"

    "That's how it is in business. It doesn't matter if you make less money. Is this gentleman next to you your agent?" George glanced at the man standing behind Ashley, who had never said a word since he entered the door.  Tall man.  Of course, this was just a casual question. In George's eyes, this guy looked more like a personal bodyguard.

    "Call him Nick. He is a relative of my mother. Usually when my sister and I go out alone, he will be responsible for our safety." Ashley patted the sofa proudly, "Mr. George, are you right?  What do you think about this matter?"

    It was indeed a bodyguard George touched his chin.  The Olsen family is also quite interesting.  Usually, two girls who are just six years old are always asked to come forward. The adults who make the final decision hide behind and refuse to show up. It seems that this is to package the Olsen sisters as so-called teenage geniuses. Once Ashley  If you and Mary Kate have made some achievements in the industry, they will definitely attract widespread media attention.  This abacus is really brilliant.

    "But children are children, and they are obviously not as scheming as those adults. In this negotiation with NBC, the Olsen sisters did not ask too much about the people behind them.  As a result, the negotiations were declared dead as soon as they started.  This is a typical case of being impatient. You must know that no matter which company or TV station it is, they always like to argue with customers. It is estimated that after NBC TV station revealed the price, they were still waiting for the Olsen sisters to continue sending people to the door to bargain. The result was  Shree just gave up without even talking about it.  This is not the way to do business.

    "I don't have any opinion" George waved his hand, "Try to buy the TV rights, and our two companies will work together. However, I have been very busy with work recently, so I may not have much time to get involved in this aspect. For partners, I always  All with 100% trust, I believe you will be able to handle such a small matter."

    "I heard that you are planning to start filming a new movie again! Mr. George!" Ashley suddenly changed the subject.  "Can Mary and I appear in a movie? Although I prefer to make TV series, if there is an opportunity to appear on the big screen in the future, I will definitely not refuse it."

    "Call me George" George smiled, "I have never treated you like a child. I have always talked to you as a partner. I promise you that I will be dedicated to you sisters in the future.  The two of us will conceive a movie script. Of course, the premise is that the salary is not too high. You know, I have never made a movie that cost more than three million US dollars"

    "That's a lot." Ashley looked envious. "When Mary and I first started filming the TV series, the pay per episode was less than 30 US dollars. Now, even if we are somewhat famous, we can only get paid per episode.  To about 500 US dollars Most TV series require the support of sponsors. If our sisters had not participated in the filming of many commercials recently, we would not have the money to start a company just by filming TV series."

    This is already outrageous, okay?  George was a little speechless. The Olsen sisters now make only a small amount of money from filming TV series, and the bulk is from advertising revenue. I heard that the sisters earned nearly 100,000 US dollars last year for an endorsement of baby milk powder.  This is definitely a veritable money-making machine.

    "If you have any financial difficulties, I will help you." George thought for a while,"I don't want to penetrate too much into the field of TV dramas, but there is definitely no problem in dipping into it appropriately. The focus of our York company will still be on movies. So, Miss Ashley, you come here in person today  Do I have anything else important to do?"

    "No!" Ashley said with a grin, "I'm just more interested in you as a person, and since I haven't had any shooting assignments in the past half month, I just treated it as a trip to your company."

    "This is my company with my good friend Glenn, not just me." George also laughed and said, "Opening a company is not as simple as imagined, at least I don't know anything about it. Things that have nothing to do with making movies.  I never ask about things, so if you want to get some company management secrets from me, you will definitely be very disappointed."

    "Won't you take me to visit your company?" Ashley stood up and stretched, "It's boring to go home. Generally speaking, shouldn't gentlemen invite each other to dinner at this time?"

    George glanced at the clock on the wall. It was only four o'clock in the afternoon This time doesn't seem to be suitable for dinner

    "The company will get off work soon." George pointed to the clock, "Except for those who have to stay on duty. There are not many living people in such a big building, and I still have some personal matters to deal with.  , if you can wait until seven o'clock, I'd be more than happy to invite you to dinner."

    "Huh? Aren't you the boss of this company? Why do you have to work overtime?" Ashley stared at George strangely.  "If you leave the company now, no one will dare to say anything, right?"

    "To be precise, it's not the biggest one." George emphasized, "And I live in the company. For me, there is basically no difference between going to and from work."

    "Don't you even have your own house?" Ashley's eyes widened, and a very strange look appeared on her fair face, "Oh my god I haven't seen your movies. But the box office of those movies  I know very well that that money is enough for you to buy a super luxurious villa."

    "Ahem" George coughed a few times, "I have invested the money in the company, so it doesn't matter. Anyway, as long as there are new movies released, money and other things will naturally not be a problem. Besides, as long as you have a place to live, that's enough.  , I am also single now, so there is no need to think about it so much."

    "I really don't understand your logic" Ashley pouted and looked at George, "Why don't you enjoy the money you have? No wonder my sister said you have a weird personality"

    This probably has nothing to do with his weird temperament George spread his hands helplessly: "Anyway, I won't have time until at least after seven o'clock. If you have something urgent, I can invite you two sisters to have dinner together next time."

    Speaking of this, George felt like he was a little bit chasing people out But he did have work to be busy with, and he still had to think over the script of "This Killer Is Not So Cold" seriously.  At the very least, you must perfect everything you remember before contacting Luc Besson.  If other parts of the script are not attractive, the other party may not be willing to cooperate with him.

    "Okay! Then I'll wait for you!" It was beyond George's expectation.  Ashley seemed to be attached to this place, nodded and sat back on the sofa.

    "You agreed with Mary that you will go back at seven o'clock tonight. Your school's exam will be in a few days. Why don't you get ready?" Nick, who had been standing behind Ashley, finally spoke and leaned down.  The body reminded her quietly.

    "Go back and tell her in advance that I won't be able to go home until about nine o'clock today." Ashley touched her little nose with a bad smile on her face, "Without me here, her homework will definitely be gone.  The solution is done. Who told her to be lazy and take a nap today and refuse to come with me? "

    Nick shook his head: "My mission is to protect you, how can I let you stay outside alone?"

    "Nothing will happen!" Ashley started to play tricks, "Didn't Mary spend the night outside with a few friends last time? This is not the first time that I came home late. I remember last time  Did the crew take me out to eat together? Jesse was drunk, so it was me who accompanied her home Don't underestimate me."

    Nick looked embarrassed: "ButMr. David will definitely blame me. Besides, can this person be trusted"

    The voices of the two became smaller and smaller.  George looked calm on the surface, but in fact his ears were perked up.  He was quite speechless after hearing Nick's doubts about him. He didn't take the initiative to ask the little guy to stay. Besides, he, a man in his 20s, had nothing to communicate with a six-year-old girl. He was just taking Ah  Shree went out for a meal and stayed with herJust playing a child's game

    ¡°It¡¯s such a headache to coax a child When George thought of Natalie and Anne¡¯s two criminal records, he immediately felt his head buzzing.  Those two were over ten years old after all, so even if the Ashley in front of her had a baby bottle in her mouth, she probably wouldn't feel any disobedience.

    After the two of them murmured for a while, Nick finally stood up helplessly and said politely to George: "Mr. George, please ensure Ashley's safety. After eating, please be sure to  Send her home, otherwise I will never agree to Ashley¡¯s request.¡±

    "Don't worry." Faced with this situation, George could only confirm firmly, "I have rich life experience with children under the age of 12. I will definitely keep her safe before nine o'clock.  Delivered to your home.¡±

    "I'm not a child!" Ashley obviously didn't like others paying attention to her age, and her face looked a little dissatisfied.

    "Then it's up to you, Mr. George." Nick nodded.  He had heard of George's name. If it were an unknown person, he wouldn't be able to let Ashley stay here even if he were killed.

    "No problem!" George snapped his fingers easily and said to Ashley, "I will be working here next. If you feel bored, you can wander around the company at will. At seven o'clock,  I¡¯ll take you out to dinner on time.¡±

    "That's great!" Ashley suddenly jumped up from the sofa and pushed Nick with her hand, "Go back and tell Mary quickly, don't let her worry."

    Nick reluctantly took out the phone: "If you don't want her to worry, just one phone call will solve everything."

    Ashley glared at Nick with dissatisfaction: "Anyway, please go back quickly. I want to have fun outside alone, and there are people following me around every day. It almost suffocates me to death."

    This is your real purpose George was speechless. What's wrong with having someone to protect you?  With your current fame, if you don¡¯t even have a bodyguard by your side, you will be kidnapped before you have even walked thirty steps out of the house

    Amid Ashley¡¯s urging, Nick was kicked out of the door with a bitter look on his face

    "Shall we play a game later?" As soon as Nick left, Ashley ran to George's table and said excitedly.

    "I still want"

    "I won't delay your work!" Ashley interrupted George directly, "When your work is over, I will hide in this company, and you are responsible for catching me. If anyone loses,  How about agreeing to the other party¡¯s request?¡±

    "Not so good" George shook his head, "I don't really want to play hide and seek."

    "Then it's settled!" Ashley nodded, "You can continue working. I will take this time to visit your company. Remember to come to me on time at seven o'clock!"

    Before George could speak, he was shocked to find that Ashley had already ran out of the office door happily
