Downtown Los Angeles, 18th Street.

As night fell, Finch stood in the open-air area of ​​a cafe on the second floor, looking at the Mexican restaurant diagonally across from, and watching the people entering and leaving the door.

Someone came to the side and said, "I just confirmed that they are still inside."

Finch looked at the sky, glanced at the watch again, and reminded: "It's getting late, so it's not safe to let everyone in the alley get out."

The man immediately took out his cell phone and started making calls.

Even with a well-trained security officer like Finch, downtown Los Angeles under the nightfall is still a dangerous area.

This city is called the City of Angels and the City of Sin.

The city center is completely two faces during the day and at night.

To be precise, the City of Angels is very suitable to call the rich area from the city west to the coastline, while the old city center is a veritable city of sin.

Finch, who grew up in Los Angeles, knows a joke about this city: It is the same whether you close the area with good security or not, and it is the same whether you close the area with bad security or not.

Finch asked someone to withdraw temporarily, on the one hand, for security reasons, and on the other hand, he did not want to have conflicts with gang members.

They may not be afraid of those gang members, but the two sides are not on the same level at all and there is no need to deal with each other. The boss’s job is the most important.

The restaurant door opened and the target figure walked out, and in addition to the retired editor of the entertainment gossip newspaper, there were also young men with the most common flax-colored hair.

This man looks very ordinary and looks less than thirty years old.

Just like when they entered the restaurant, someone next to Finch immediately took a photo with a high-power lens.

Finch leads a mature team, and he also has confidence in this team. The support from a super rich man allows them to not only get high salaries and receive the best training, but also have some of the best equipment in the United States and even the world.

Following the super rich man from low to high, Finch fully realized that after having enough money in this country, money can really do too much.

The retired newspaper editor and the ordinary middle-aged man got into two cars and each left the restaurant.

Someone followed the editor of the retired newspaper home from a distance. Finch and others took a few cars and kept secretly watching the ordinary middle-aged man enter the hotel.

The people left behind continued to stare here, while the rest evacuated one after another.

On the way back, Finch received a call, and went to Hollywood in the middle to pick up another companion.

The man got into the car and the car started. Finch asked, "How is it?"

"There's a result." The man said: "I found out that the other party came from London the day before yesterday and was on the Heathrow Airport."

The answer was beyond Finch's expectations: "UK? London?"

The man said, "Yes, London, England. According to his understanding, he has booked a return ticket and may return to the UK soon."

Finch made a quick decision: "Let someone keep an eye on him, and you will take someone to London and touch his bottom." He patted the man on the shoulder: "The funding is not a problem, we have sufficient funds."

The man immediately said, "As long as there is funds, even in the UK, we can find some things."

Finch nodded slightly: "Go and prepare."

The car went around and put the man in Hollywood again.

Back at Beverly Hills, Finch immediately informed Ronan of the relevant situation.

After hearing Finch's description, Ronan felt a bad feeling: "London, England..."

This made him have some associations based on the previous ones, especially the various right and wrong caused by recent copyright lawsuits about "X-Men" and "Fantastic Four".

Generally speaking, when you reach a certain level, neither party will use means other than business, because if you have money, I have money, and money can really buy a lot of things.

But some people may not have such tacit understanding.

Ronan looked at Finch: "It's very correct for you to go to London, England. The staff will double. Pay attention, it's not Los Angeles."

"We'll be careful," Finch said.

Ronan whispered: "Focus on those branches and media organizations in London in News Corp."

"You mean..." Fincher was shocked.

Ronan raised his finger and shook it: "This is just a guess. It's better not to have it, but it really needs to have it..."

Finch responded, "I understand."

"Be careful." Ronan reminded again: "Don't be afraid of spending money, safety is the most important thing."

Finch nodded: "Don't worry."

Ronan waved and said to the living room, "Nicia, come here."

The housekeeper Nikia immediately walked over: "Mr. Anderson."

"There is no problem with the servants at home?" Ronan asked.

Nikia said: "The rest are all old people, knowing the truth. I canceled two recruitment plans, and the existing personnel can basically maintain the operation of the manor."

Ronan understood who he might be facing this time, and attached great importance to it: "Nicia, you help Fincher to upgrade the security equipment of the manor again." He looked at Fincher: "You need the best equipment, especially anti-eavesdropping."

"No problem," Finch promised, "Leave this to me."

Nikia said: "I will help Finch personally."

Ronan waved his hand, and Nikia knew that there was nothing she had about her, so she immediately went to the other side.

"Finch, there is one more thing." Ronan knew that defense alone was not enough. If it was really speculation, it was necessary to have a counterattack card: "People who go to the UK will send another team to learn about the News of the World."

His voice was very low and he gave a few more words of advice.

Finch kept nodding: "We received funding and trained for so long, not only for defense, but for other jobs as good as that."

"Go, be low-key." Ronan still reminded: "Keep down and don't attract attention."

Finch said again: "I understand."

Ronan hopes that this matter will not be as complicated as he thinks, but there are often no harm in making the worst of things.

After all, those people are not very brave, and even Downing Street dares to be included in the eavesdropping list.

Some things are unbelievable and impossible to happen when they are not revealed.

But if you need to investigate in a targeted manner, you may gain something.

Twentieth Century Fox proposed an out-of-court settlement negotiation on "X-Men" and "Fantasy Four", but there was a necessary premise that Marvel Entertainment immediately stopped publishing the new "Fantasy Four" comics and would not be published again during the negotiations.

Not to mention Ronan, even Avi Arad would not agree to such a condition.

Ronan shook his head and went to the lounge next to him. The housekeeper Nikia understood his habits and immediately made tea and brought it in.

"Thank you." Ronan nodded with a smile.

Nikia smiled implicitly and said goodbye and left.

Ronan is holding a script that Shahai Entertainment Screenwriter's Office sent to him yesterday. A horror film project comes from the script library of the former Yijiang Film Company - "Human Skin Inn".

Similar to the script of "Mr. Smith", the script of "Human Skin Inn" has also been adjusted. Since Shahai Entertainment does not lack bloody horror films, this script has been completed until now.

Now, the new "Deadly Bend" series is about to be released. After the production team has rested and adjusted, they can also invest in new horror film projects. There are not many surprising places in movies like "Human Skin Inn", and they are taking typical American plasma horror film videos.

To put it simply, it is the second journey of American young people to commit suicide.

In terms of directors, Shahai Entertainment has long decided to be Eli Ross as the director, and it has been delayed until now due to the script.

Fortunately, the shooting and production of this kind of film won't last long

"Human Skin Inn" can only wait until the appropriate schedule is selected next year before it is released.

Including the upcoming filming of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", the two scripts obtained by acquiring Yijiang Film have all entered the actual operation stage.

Unfortunately, other scripts are temporarily invisible.

In addition, some of the videos in the copyright of the hand-film library obtained have attracted a lot of people.

After hearing that the copyright of the "First Blood" series belongs to Relativity Entertainment, Sylvester Stallone personally called Ronan and visited the Relativity Building to discuss the possibility of launching "First Blood 4" and directing and starring him personally.

The golden age of traditional action movies has passed, and Ronan is very clear about this, so he is not very interested in Stallone's proposal.

But there was no clear correctness.

Ronan proposed a condition that if Stallone voluntarily cut his salary to $5 million and ensures that all productions can be completed within $20 million, Shahai Entertainment will immediately give the green light to "First Blood 4".

The result of this negotiation is conceivable. Sylvester Stallone left the Relativity Building with unhappyness.

There is no way, the production budget of $20 million is not enough for Stallone's director and starring films.

But Ronan cannot pay $20 million for Stallone alone. Movies in this era and the experience of Stallone fully demonstrate that Stallone's value is seriously inflated.

Just kidding, 20 million dollars is not bad, but Stallone wants to sell his three daughters to the Future World Manor.

Once upon a time, Stallone was regarded by many as a father-in-law of the nation.

Those three daughters helped Stallone gain a lot of fame through the Internet.

In addition to Stallone, Ren Wiseman, who worked with Relativity Entertainment, also found Ronan and wanted to re-shoot "Comprehensive Memories" from the former Artist Library.

It's not a sequel, it's a remake of the old version.

Ronan simply chatted with Ren Wiseman. When he learned that the "wife-showing maniac" planned to let Kate Beckinsale play the heroine, he immediately politely rejected Ren Wiseman's proposal.

This is a science fiction film, and investment is bound to be indispensable. Kate Beckinsale is the leading actress in the big production. "Van Helsing" is a lesson.
