My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! -
Chapter 432 The Domineering Mr. Steele!
If Jordan wanted to complete his business trial, he would have to put his deception skills to full play. Convincing everyone that he was a bigwig of the entertainment industry had to come as naturally as
breathing.
So he couldn't let anyone replace fault with him.
Jordan said calmly, "There are two of the best directors in the country, signed to my company. Apart from them, there's also the rising newbie director, Frank Go, who directed 'Little Broken Ball'. From Japan I have Takeshi Kitano, Na Hong-jin, and Choi Dong-hoon from Korea, as well as local directors James Cameron and Christopher Nolan, signed to my company."
Everyone's jaws dropped after hearing that.
Jordan had named all the world's top directors.
The only one who was little-known was the newbie director who directed a famous film named 'The Wandering Earth' which obtained box office sales of 700 million dollars.
By this stage, Colton had completely lost his composure. "Nonsense! Nonsense! That's complete bullshit! You're just running your mouth and bragging unrestrainedly! These big directors are signed to your company? Do you take us for fools!?!"
Jordan said calmly, "Some of these directors have signed a VAM contract with our company and some are my friends who have signed to us nominally. Some are in a cooperative relationship with my company However, I can't say that they're all my subordinates, though they'll behave themselves when I tell them to direct some
films." "Bullshit!"
Colton couldn't stand it and couldn't help but curse some vulgarities.
"Colton, calm down."
A male classmate advised when he noticed that Lauren was upset. Even though Colton was doing well now, he was still no match for the Howards.
As the saying went, to humiliate the protected was to humiliate the protector. Lauren was definitely upset with the way Colton was speaking to her husband.
Ignoring the classmate, Colton flew into a rage and hissed, "I just hate that he's lying through his teeth and blowing his trumpet! He doesn't have any capabilities at all and all he does is pay lip service. He coaxed our class belle and even tried to lie to us. Since you said that these directors listen to you, prove it to us. Make a call and let us take a look!"
There was nothing difficult about making a phone call.
Jordan had the numbers of James Cameron, Christopher Nolan, and Takeshi Kitano in the first place.
Picking up his phone, Jordan looked at the angry Colton, and asked, "Do you understand Korean and Japanese?"
Colton was immediately speechless. Language has always been his weakness. He hadn't mastered any other foreign languages.
Jordan shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'd better call a local director, lest you can't understand our conversation."
The last time Jesse came to help Jenny, Jordan managed to obtain the numbers of a few local directors. Hence, Jordan called a famous director and then turned on the speakerphone so that everyone could hear him.
Director Smith picked up, surprised and overjoyed that Jordan had called him.
He hurriedly said, "Ah, Mr. Steele, what instructions do you have?"
Jordan said, "Nothing, I just want you to tell me what a surprise is."
Director Smith immediately laughed and said, "What? You need me to tell you that? A surprise is a surprise."
Jordan said, "I want you to explain what a surprise is to me."
Director Smith said, "1 don't have to explain it. A surprise is a surprise. Don't you understand what a surprise means?"
Jordan said, "I want you to explain what a surprise is to me!"
Director Smith said, "It's a surprise!"
Jordan repeated again, "Tell me what a f**king surprise means! What's a damned surprise!?!"
Director Smith said, "A surprise is letting you produce three films within three years. You can decide on the script and the cast!"
Jordan said, "Oh, Jesse, so this is a damned surprise. I'll wait for you for three years then."
Jordan hung up right away.
Behind him, Lauren and all ten of her classmates were all dumbfounded. A female classmate who didn't understand what Jordan and Director Smith were talking about, asked a question in confusion. "Lauren, is there something wrong with your husband's brain? What was he talking about?"
Lauren smiled and said, "Silly, he was quoting a line from the movie, Let the Bullets Fly."
He was reciting the lines of Director Smith's masterpiece film, 'Let the Bullets Fly'.
Apart from that female classmate, the rest of them had all watched that film before.
Colton had watched that movie at least ten times. In fact, Director Smith was one of his favorite directors so he could recognize his voice immediately.
"It... it really is Director Smith!"
Colton was stunned.
Once the shocking words left Colton's lips, the other male classmates were all praise.
"Damn it! This guy is really something! He really knows Director Smith. That domineering tone of voice and gusto really belongs to Director Smith!"
"Not only does he know Director Smith, he even dared to speak to him that way. Not many people in the country dare to do that. Maybe he's really a bigwig of the entertainment industry."
"That's impressive. I take my hat off to him!"
At this moment, Jordan was also very proud and thrilled. It was also then that Maggie realized Jordan and Director Smith really did know each other. Director Smith had even promised to direct a movie for him and leave it to him to determine the actors.
As an actress whose career was going downhill, how could Maggie not seize such an opportunity?
Maggie jumped onto Jordan and started pleading coquettishly, "Mr. Steele, you have to let me star in Director Smith's film. Please, please, I'm a die-hard fan of his and I'm signed to your company. You can't ignore me."
Jordan glanced at Lauren and pushed Maggie away, for fear that Lauren would be jealous.
"Maggie, don't worry, didn't I promise you long ago that I would help you and make you become a famous international star?"
Hearing those words, Maggie leaped up in excitement and exclaimed, "Thank you, Mr. Steele! Long live Mr. Steele! You're the best and most powerful boss in the entertainment industry!" Lauren's other classmates, too, raised their wine glasses.
"Mr. Steele, I'm sorry for failing to recognize how powerful you are. Please forgive me."
"Mr. Steele, let me toast to you. I was Lauren's deskmate, and we've known each other for years. I hope to stay in touch with you."
Jordan picked up the glass of wine and toasted them.
Lauren was smiling too. She was overjoyed that Jordan could conquer her classmates.
Everyone else toasted to Jordan. Colton was the only one who was standing there, completely dumbfounded.
"Impossible... Impossible..."
Colton still felt that it was all made up by Jordan.
"Jordan, since your company is so impressive that even a famous director like Director Smith is signed to it, it must be a household name that everyone has heard of."
"May I ask what your company's name is?"
Without a second thought, Jordan already knew that he wanted to name it after his initials.
"J Films!"
