"You must have something to be happy today. Press rl + d to collect it quickly. "Please"" Russo said with a smile while pouring wine for Ike and himself.

#I must have found some good movie again.#Russo said in his heart.

Ike raised his glass and smiled, "Thank you. Well, our company's "The Lord of the Rings" trailer has been made. So I'm very happy."

"Oh, congratulations." Russo raised his glass and took a sip. #Don't be too happy too early. That movie is so risky. If you lose money, you will go bankrupt.

Russo's words floated in the air again.

Ike smiled, shrugged, raised his glass and said, "Thank you for your blessing." After that, he also took a sip of whiskey.

"You told me on the phone, are Warner interested in my proposed plan to restart Batman, right?" Ike asked.

"Yes." Russo nodded, "But the board of directors also argued, but I support you. Things are developing in a better way. We mainly need to look at the market situation, so we can't give you a reply so quickly. You know, Warner investing is more cautious now."

#Our finance has been a bit tight in the past two years, but this young director's idea is really good. However, even if the market is really good, I'm afraid Warner will do it alone. Why do you have to go to another company for making money? "Batman" is our Warner.#

Ike was about to thank Russo, but when he heard what Russo said in his heart, he couldn't help but curse in his heart, "Fak! These tmd profiteers!"

"I understand Warner's approach, I'm not in a hurry. Well, you know, investing in movies is a risky job. It will be better if you lose more and make less. It will be better for both companies to take risks together. Especially for movies like "Batman" that require big investments. Of course, Warner can choose to do it himself, but I don't think you will do this in the past few years when the comic film market is still unclear." Ike said with a smile.

"Haha, of course! If we really want to start "Batman", I personally think it's better to cooperate between the two." Russo nodded. #Fake! This guy seems to know what I'm thinking!

"Haha" Ike couldn't help but smile.

"Li, what are you laughing at?" Russo asked in confusion.

"Oh," Ike shook his head, "It's nothing. Yes, I have something I want to talk to you." Ike changed the subject.

"Please say it."

"Well" Ike thought for a while, "You know, I had some dates with Sith before, and he once mentioned you like me."

"Oh? Is it? What did he say?" Russo asked nervously, but he still showed calmness. #What does this kid know? Fark, what did the Sith say to him? How good is his relationship with Sith? He won't tell him about my scandals.

When Eck heard Russo's words, he affirmed that Russo must have important things that fell into the hands of "Ark", which may be some love and sexual matters. Now "Ark" has fallen and the police investigation is still ongoing, Russo must be afraid that his scandal will be investigated.

"He said you are a rare movie businessman." Ike looked at Russo and said calmly.

"Haha," Russo shook his head and said, "Sis is quite interesting. It's a pity that we will never see him again." Russo's words were a little sad, as if he and Sith were friends.

#This guy should have died long ago, the more people like this, the better!# This sentence is Russo’s truth.

Ike cursed in his heart: I scolded the person next door! Or it is said that people's hearts are separated from their belly, and the words on the surface seem to be completely opposite to what they think in their hearts.

"Well," Ake thought for a moment, and then continued, "Sis also told me that Mr. Russo may have something, well, maybe it has something to do with 'Ark'."

Russo's sweat oozed out from behind, "Just, Sith, this guy, likes to joke. I have no business or business connection with "Ark". Judging from your tone, it seems that you have a good relationship with Sith."

#Bad, did Ike know something? Damn it, look at his expression and he looks confident, he must know something?

"Oh," Ike smiled, he was still very calm, "We have a good personal relationship. However, after hearing what you said, it seems that Sith is joking with me. You know him, he always likes to joke, and he also likes to drink. He can't take what he says after drinking seriously."

#It's over, it's over! Ike must know something. No, I must ask clearly #Sis while thinking about it, and he felt that Ike called him to come today, which must be a purpose, not simply chatting.

"What did he say to you? Even if it was drinking, I was very interested in listening." Russo asked with a smile.

"Okay, let me tell you." Ike said with a frown, "Well, it seems to be about the story that happened in a villa in the suburbs." Ike told the facts. When he first met Corleon, he was in a villa in the suburbs. At that time, Corleon wanted to give him the villa, but Ike didn't want it. However, he also used "spiritual communication" to eavesdrop on some things about Russo in the villa. This was the first time he knew Russo. Sith had never told him this.

"What?" Russo was shocked. #Fak! It was true. I was in that villa, smoking, drugging, having a party, and having a young girl, Ike knew everything about it? #

"What villa?" Russo suppressed his emotions vigorously, "I don't remember what stories are there in the villa in the countryside?"

Ike heard these thoughts. He was shocked. Damn! I didn't expect Russo to be so dirty. This is not a trivial matter. It is enough to make him go to prison and be ruined! No wonder Russo was so afraid of "Ark"! He must have helped Ark wash a lot of money.

"Haha, it seems you really don't remember it." Ike said with a smile, "I just said, Sith is joking with me, how could these things happen to you? I just think it's nonsense."

#How much does this young man in front of me know? Does he have any evidence? Sambik finally told me that all the evidence about me, "Ark" has been destroyed, and there is only the CD I'm given to myself. Damn Ike, too, I can't get in that CD! #

Ike was really surprised to hear Russo's thoughts. He didn't care about Russo's messy things. He didn't expect that Sambik had met Russo before he was cleared and gave him a CD. Sambik had become a data person at that time. The so-called CD must be a "virus". Will Russo become a data person now?

Thinking of this, Ike's back was sweating!

Both of them are sweating coldly now, but the reasons are very different. Both of them have their own ideas, but they cannot explain them to each other. This is the most ironic and humorous scene.

When the merciful God created humanity again, he not only gave them kindness and sincerity, but also gave them hypocrisy and cunning!

"Oh Sith is definitely a joke guy," Russo picked up the wine glass and took a big sip. "Don't believe him after he drinks, I really don't remember any villa."

#I will not admit that anyone tells me this before there is evidence. #The words in the Sith's heart float in the air.

Ike also held up the wine glass and took a big sip. He carefully observed Sith's every move. He couldn't help but think in his heart, "Luso didn't seem to have become a data person, and the data person was heartless, how could I hear what he said in his heart! That's right! Ike quickly affirmed his image method. Ruso was just saying in his heart that he could not enter the CD, maybe this is why he had not converted. What he has to do now is how to get the CD!!

"I think that's the case, too." Ike said with a smile, "he can't believe his words."

"What did he tell you?" Russo asked. #At least, you have to know how much Ike knows.

"Oh, that's it, Sith said, you've had a party in the villa outside the country. You know," Eke's body leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Party!"

"Hmph! It's simply slander!" Russo immediately denied this statement, "We did hold a party, but it was just a friend's birthday party. When he said it, it became such a dirty thing. Has he shown you any proof? No wonder this kid, no wonder the 'Ark' would collapse. Their gangsters and societies all like to make these slanderous accusations out of nothing."

#Anyway, there is no evidence, I won't admit it, even the policeman is the same.

"Oh," Ike nodded with a serious expression, "I'll just say that the Sith is talking nonsense, and as you said, he has no evidence."

"Forget it, let's not mention him." Russo said, raising his glass, "Let's have a drink."

#It seems that Ike has no evidence, but! If he had a CD, it would be broken, and Sambik could not completely believe it, but if Ike had evidence, why didn't he show it to himself? If Ike had evidence and wanted to threaten me, it was that he needed my help, or I had value for him. It's been so long since the matter was, if he wanted to do this, why wait until now? #

"Come on, let's have a drink." Ike also picked up the wine glass, and the two of them touched it gently, and drank it all in one go!

The two of them went back and forth, and in a while, a bottle of whiskey was finished.

"I drank a lot today, and I'll go to the company tomorrow, and I'm going back." Ike shook his head and said to Russo.

"Yes, I'm going to work tomorrow, and I'm going back, too." Russo said.

"By the way, don't forget our cooperation." Ike said.

#It seems that Ike attaches great importance to the cooperation of "Batman". Well, I can help with this matter. Now I can't be completely sure that he has no evidence. It's better to maintain a good relationship with him.

"Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to convince all the directors. After all, I am still the senior vice president. I don't think there is any problem." Russo said confidently.

"Okay! Then we will contact each other often." Ike said.

"Okay." Russo shook hands with Ike, "You can go home by yourself."

"Thank you, no problem." After saying that, Eck said goodbye to Russo, he turned around and walked towards the gate of the "Jazz" bar.

When I was young, I liked to listen to the radio

Wait for the song I like to ring gently

I sing for it alone

Make me happy

Such happy time has long gone

How much do I want to know where they have been?

Friends who are separated are looking forward to reunion

I still like all the songs

When Ike walked to the door of the bar, the classic old song "Yesterday Reappeared" suddenly came from the center of the bar. The sound was melodious and beautiful!

Ike liked this song very much and used it as an interlude of "The Walker in the Side". This song also became popular in Europe and the United States with the popularity of "The Walker in the Side".

Ike couldn't help but stop and listened. He looked at the center of the bar stage, a young girl in white was singing softly under the dark light. Her voice was very beautiful, and she didn't sound worse than the original singer Carpenter, and her voice revealed a kind of youth and cleanliness!

"Haha, it seems you like this song very much." Russo said as she walked past him.

Ike nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, I like it."

"Okay, please appreciate it slowly. I won't disturb you anymore. I'll leave first." Russo said.

"Bye-Bye!"

While talking to Russo, Eck kept looking at the girl in white in the center of the stage. Her hair was golden, but because of the dim light, Eck couldn't see her face clearly.

"Who is singing?" Ike called a waiter over and asked with his head down.

"Oh, this girl was temporarily called to sing in the bar for two days. She is a Canadian and seems to be about to record an album." The waiter said with a smile. "Did you be a little curious when you see her singing the songs from your movie? Director Ike."

Employees working in these bars and cafes in Beverly Hills generally know Hollywood stars and directors.

"Yes, she sang well. From here, she shouldn't be old. Haven't you told me what her name is?" Ike asked.

"Oh, it's so lucky to be praised by you. Her name is Avril, Avril Lavini!" said the waiter.

"Avril?" Ike was stunned for a moment, "Canadian?"

"Yes, what? Do you know her? As far as I know, she doesn't seem to be famous." said the waiter.

Ike smiled and shook his head and said to the waiter, "No, I don't know her, but I listened to her singing well and have the potential to become a singer."

"Yes," the waiter nodded, "I heard that a music agent has discovered her now, and she will go to New York in two days."

"What's your name?" Ike asked, turning his head.
