Witness of the film and television world

Chapter 42 Special New Friend
"By the way, are you guys interested in bringing your work to Hollywood?"

"Hollywood? Which company?" Peyton asked.

Since "Devil Personality" came out of the circle, over the years, many Hollywood production companies have contacted Peyton, wanting to put his work on the screen.

It's just that Peyton had other thoughts in his mind, and he never let go.

Unexpectedly, Raymond asked again today. It seems that the money empire is too popular, and those Hollywood giants can't sit still.

Taking a puff of his pipe, Raymond chuckled lightly: "I'm here to send a message, which one could it be? Paramount!"

Peyton suddenly realized: "I almost forgot that you are a famous screenwriter!"

That's right, in addition to being a famous novelist, Raymond also works part-time as a screenwriter for Paramount. The "Double Indemnity" he collaborated with Billy Wilder is known as the textbook of film noir. Oscar nomination for Best Screenplay.

"Don't worry about my thoughts. I'm just sending a message to Ramon's senior management. If there is interest, I will help you set up a line. If you don't have it, forget it."

Peyton thought for a while, and said: "Then let them contact me, and we will talk about it in detail then."

"Okay, I'll go back and talk to them!"

The two of them spoke without saying a word.

Suddenly, Chandler saw a tall, about two meters tall man with a handsome appearance.

"Hey, Roald, come here, let me introduce you to a new friend!"

"Raymond, long time no see!" The man named Roald also greeted Chandler with a smile.

"This is Peyton Chris, you should have heard his name."

"This is Roald Dahl, the winner of the Edgar Allan Poe Award the year before last, who wrote "Someone Like You", I don't know if you have read it, it is a very good work. "Raymond Chandler introduced to each other.

Peyton showed a surprised expression: "I like your "Elf" very much, Mr. Dahl."

Rodell Dahl smiled: "Original Sin: Empire of Money is also the best crime novel I've seen in so many years. Mr. Duke is very gentlemanly."

Chandler heard the conversation between the two, and laughed: "I almost forgot that Roald was still a fairy tale novelist. I remember that "Elf" was indeed very popular. At that time, the children we led at home yelled every day."

"However, Peyton, this guy is also good at writing adult novels, just in Playboy, you can really read it!"

Chandler blinked, showing a micro expression that every man should understand.

Roald looked calm, as if what Chandler said was not him.

"Really? If you have a chance, you must take a look!" Peyton laughed.

Peyton smiled and looked at the two. In fact, he knew Rodel very well, and the other party was very famous in later generations.

For example, the handed down works "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", "The Witch", "James and the Big Fairy Peach", "Fantastic Mr. Fox", "The Good-hearted Giant" and other works are enough to make him leave a strong mark in the literary world.

Not to mention, the other party's legendary life.

That's right, the legend in this guy's life far exceeds Chandler's, and his achievements in the literary world are just embellishments in comparison.

The other party has many identities, such as British ace pilot, diplomat, intelligence officer, famous diplomatic agent, poet, writer of horror adult works, famous screenwriter, master of fantasy novels, and master of world fairy tale novels.

Now, except for the slightly inferior achievements in literature, the rest has been successfully completed.

The most legendary of them all - especially Roald's time as military attache to the Commonwealth and British government intelligence officer.

The main task of this guy is to collect intelligence by luring powerful federal women and influence the public opinion environment of the federation.

With a handsome face, a height of nearly two meters, and a strong body, he is loved by everyone in the circle of celebrities in Washington.

As for literature, that is his means of attracting ladies!
He carried forward the gentlemanly demeanor that the sun never sets, and made great contributions to the country. He can be called the trump card duck king in the intelligence circle.

Still, a good ace pilot, to do this?Daiying is really not a good person.

Of course, Daiying is actually treated equally. After all, Roald's predecessor was named Churchill, and his Amana was one of the three giants.

He himself is the number one son of the empire!

Roald is a grassroots person, what an honor to be able to work with such a person?
Ever since, in the spirit of doing what he does and loving what he does, Rodel has done a good job and made outstanding contributions. He won over many isolationists and provided extensive public opinion support for the Federation's end in World War II.

After all, it is not easy for him to attract famous ladies and ladies, including the editor-in-chief or the wife of the boss of newspapers such as "Time", "New York Times", "Life", and "Fortune", these are his old treasures.

He took off his pants and was exhausted. He made a great contribution to bringing the British Empire.

At the same time, Roosevelt's first lady was also a fan of his literature, using his fairy tales as after-school and bedtime reading for her grandchildren.

He has received the first lady's family dinner several times and has directly entered the top leadership of the Federation. He can be called a communication expert in the top circles of the Federation.

Of course, with the end of the war, Churchill, his old boss, stepped down and experienced too many inappropriate incidents in the British Empire, including not giving enough pensions, so he has completely quit.

He even settled in the Commonwealth, and now he is focusing on literature and Hollywood screenwriting career.

In his spare time, he writes articles for "Women's Domestic Impurities", "Playboy", "The New Yorker" and "Harper Impurities".

Such as "The Landlady", "William and Mary", "The Cunning Bachelor"... These adult novels with horror and strange elements are his best works.

Many of his adult works also appeared in these magazines, notably "The Smoker", which was later adapted into a film by Quentin.

In 53, he also married Patricia Neal, a famous Hollywood movie star and future Oscar queen.

Payton is not surprised that Chandler can make friends with this guy, after all, the two have too much in common, such as a British pilot, the sweetheart of a wealthy lady, a bohemian Hollywood screenwriter, a porn lover...

Scandal congenial!

Moreover, Roald and Peyton are almost the same, they both received the Edgar Allan Poe Award after being strongly recommended by Raymond Chandler.

Of course, in addition to Chandler's strong recommendation, maybe his old ladies and lovers also contributed a lot behind the scenes.

You don't know how to be a rich woman when you are young!

"By the way, Roald, do you have any creative ideas next?" Chandler asked.

"Continue to write scary adult articles. I went on my honeymoon a while ago, and Playboy raised my manuscript fee again. I think it's not bad." Roald said, spreading his hands.

"I have no pursuit, but I am an Edgar Allan Poe winner, and I have been obsessed with some adult novels." Chandler said speechlessly.

Roald smiled contemptuously: "Then don't read it, just come and read my manuscript in three or five days."

Chandler snorted, "I was correcting you with a critical eye."

Hearing the banter between the two, Peyton said: "Actually, I still think that Mr. Dahl can put his experience into fairy tales or some strange fields. Elf is the most impressive fairy tale work I have read in so many years. "

Chandler shook his head: "Roald, don't listen to him, writing these is better than writing horror adult novels, at least I can help you criticize."

Roald ignored Chandler, and smiled at Peyton: "Look, I'm also stuck in a creative bottleneck period, maybe I can try to continue."

When Peyton heard this, he also felt that he had done a great deed, leading this master of fantasy novels and fairy tale novels on the right path.

The three of them surrounded each other, chatting and laughing casually.

Roald is a very talkative person, he told some stories of World War II, which opened Peyton's eyes.

As a professional agent, although he works part-time as a duck, his professionalism is still in place, and he can always open up topics without being cold, and his long and legendary experience is also a kind of talking material in itself.
