Chapter 610 Say No to Hollywood (One Update)
It is said that Chen Xiaotang directly rejected Robert who came from Hollywood, saying: "I'm sorry, Mr. Robert, I don't like playing stocks very much, and I don't like being played as stocks, because for me, profit is important, but more important It's something behind the profit..."

Robert shrugged: "I really don't understand that there are people in this world who don't like money! But it doesn't matter, you just didn't see our contract, promise, this is it, you will definitely accept it after reading it!"

As he said that, Robert took out a contract condescendingly and threw it in front of Chen Xiaotang, "Dear Chen, I hope you will tell me after reading it that you will not refuse and you are very satisfied. I am looking forward to cooperating with you." !"

Chen Xiaotang took the contract, and looked through it carefully with Fatty Wang Jing.

Ghost Robert crossed his legs, forgetting the pain in his mouth, and started drinking coffee again.

I have to say that the content of this contract is really good. In the contract, Fox Company guaranteed to Chen Xiaotang that it would definitely praise him as an international superstar, and promised that once he arrived in Hollywood, he would arrange everything such as food and lodging, and even help with the US Green card and other procedures.In addition, Fox also generously offered an annual salary of 3000 million US dollars in the contract, that is to say, even if Chen Xiaotang stayed in the United States and did not film, he could still get 3000 million in annual income from Fox. 3000 million U.S. dollars, equivalent to more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars, is definitely not a small amount and the temptation is super huge.

Besides, countless Asian stars have vowed to break into Hollywood bravely and make a name for themselves, but in the end, only a handful of them can truly succeed.Most of these heroes have died on the road to Hollywood.To sum up the reasons, the first is that the climate is not acclimatized, the second is that there is no strong company support, and the third is that it is not popular enough.

Superstars like Chen Xiaotang are basically saturated in popularity in Asia now, and there is not much room for expansion. Their only way out is to face Hollywood directly, and then be promoted to be called an international superstar.

This path is very bitter and difficult, and what is especially dangerous is that if Hollywood does not succeed, the popularity in Asia will be lost... For example, Li Lianjie, Fa Ge and others in the previous life went to Hollywood when they were so popular , but it is rare to make a film in a year, even if it is filmed, it will be a supporting role for other ghost actors, what is the Eastern Pirate in the Caribbean, what is the big drug in the sky cannon~ the owl...

When they fully understood that they could not control the Hollywood market at all, they suddenly realized that their base camp was Hong Kong or Asia.It's just a pity that when they look back at this time, countless new-generation actors have taken their place in Asia and seized their market.What "Fearless", what "Red Cliff", what "Great Shanghai", one drama is worse than the other. To put it mildly, it is because the masses have limited ability to appreciate it. They blame the film director for not shooting well. To put it bluntly, it is theirs This kind of actor has lost the appeal of being able to respond to everyone.

Lian Bo is old, can he still eat? !The previous glory is no longer, it has become an incomparable hesitation!
This time Chen Xiaotang's opportunity was a little different.

Fox was willing to spend so much money to support him, and promised some harsh conditions. With the backing of such a super big-name company, no one could refuse.

It is precisely because of this mentality that no one can refuse this contract that the ghost Robert appears to be at ease and extremely arrogant.

In his opinion, no matter how smart these oriental monkeys are, it is impossible not to bury their heads in this set. The bananas and cheese in the set are enough to make people lose their minds and make mechanical choices.

To be honest, when Chen Xiaotang and Fatty Wang Jing read this contract, they were definitely moved.Even each other can hear each other's intense heartbeat.

So tempting!

Especially for a person who is eager to start a new business, this is simply a piece of pie in the sky!
But is there really such a good thing as "a pie in the sky" in the world? !
The answer is absolutely, no!
Because at the back of this contract, there is a line of inconspicuous small words that strictly indicate: since the contract is signed, you must obey the company's command and be responsible for pursuing its legal responsibility!
In other words, this is an out-and-out deed of prostitution wrapped in a candy pie wrapper!
What does it mean to "obey the company's command"? !

That is to say, from the time you sign the contract, you no longer belong to yourself, and you can no longer have your own thoughts. You are the profit-making tool of Fox Corporation, and you must do what the company asks you to do.

Is it worth it to sell your body and soul for the sake of being famous in Hollywood, for being an international superstar, for that drool-worthy price? !

The answer is --- NO!

Therefore, Chen Xiaotang smiled, gently put the contract back to its original place, and said to the ghost Robert: "I'm sorry, Mr. Robert, I cannot accept this contract!"

He was drinking coffee slowly, wondering how this Lafite Chen would be grateful to himself and Dade after a while.Pulling his little hand to please her and pretending to be cute... But Chen Xiaotang's sudden words made him almost spit out the coffee he swallowed.

"What? Did I hear you right?! Oh my god, dear Chen, you must be joking with me. How could you refuse such an overvalued contract?! Did I hear you wrong?" Robert asked incredulously road.

"No, you heard it right. This contract is indeed very valuable, but it is not suitable for me!" Chen Xiaotang said firmly.

"Oh, I don't quite understand..." Robert was really a little confused.

Chen Xiaotang smiled and said, "Because I don't want to betray myself!"

Robert froze for a moment, and then said: "But you have to know, if you, a Hong Kong star, want to venture into Hollywood without the support of our Fox company, without the backing of a good script, and without a vast theater as a battlefield, then It's just a fool's dream!"

Robert tried his best to make his tone severe. In his opinion, Chen Xiaotang's "ignorance of flattery" was simply an unforgivable mistake.

Fox is willing to spend so much energy to praise you, but you don't know what is good or bad, don't think you are so great, you are the king of heaven in Asia, but you are not a fart in Hollywood!
Facing the harsh remarks of Ghost Man Robert, Chen Xiaotang was still unfazed, "In my opinion, the Asian film market is not hell, and Hollywood is not heaven...Maybe, one day we will meet in Hollywood again, and then we will understand Who is right and who is wrong!"

"Haha, meet in Hollywood? Are you saying that you want to rely on Hong Kong's Phantom Company to develop the Hollywood market? This may be the funniest joke I've ever heard!" Ghost Robert said contemptuously, "Okay, dear Chen, I will wait for your arrival in Hollywood, I hope you will not cry in front of me..." Speaking of this, Robert got up, and before leaving, he added: "I will stay in Hong Kong for another day, if You feel regretful, it’s still too late! God can attest that I’m a magnanimous man!”

The corner of Chen Xiaotang's mouth curled up, and he said, "Unfortunately, I am a person who will not change my mind easily, Mr. Robert, you should not waste any more time and go back to the United States as soon as possible...see you later!"

"Huh!" Robert snorted coldly when the other party gave the order to evict the guest, and walked out with his hands.It was the first time he had been so disrespectfully slighted.

You'll regret it, Rafi Chan!
Robert yelled.

At night, the lights of the Chen family villa were still on.

Chen Xiaotang was sitting on the sofa in the study with a cigarette in his hand.He hasn't smoked for a long time.

Since he came out of the hospital, he has basically quit this bad habit, but now...he started to smoke again.

Smoke billows.

Chen Xiaotang's entire face was shrouded in smoke, he was thinking, Robert's words touched him a lot today.

Especially with Moying Entertainment, do you really think you can break into Hollywood? !Chen Xiaotang has doubts about this.Although Fatty Wang Jing once comforted him not to think too much, but he still couldn't help thinking...

Judging from the current development status of Moying Entertainment, if Chen Xiaotang is given another five or six years, he will definitely be able to make it the largest film company in Hong Kong and even Asia, just like Shaw Brothers used to dominate Hong Kong, but now , Time doesn't wait, he doesn't have that much time at all.

In fact, Chen Xiaotang had too high demands on himself.From its establishment to the present, Moying Entertainment has been listed as one of the four major film companies in Hong Kong. This kind of miracle is already incredible, but Chen Xiaotang is still not satisfied. He wants to promote this kind of miracle to Hollywood, but is it possible?

Hollywood is dominated by white people, and it is definitely not a place for black-eyed and yellow-skinned Chinese to show off their power.

Some people may want to say, isn't there a Bruce Lee?

But Bruce Lee is the only miracle, and this kind of miracle is difficult to replicate.In other words, there is only one Bruce Lee, even if Chen Xiaotang is the best, he cannot replace Bruce Lee!
On the other hand, Bruce Lee's greatest achievement was to write the word "Kung Fu" into the Western English dictionary, allowing all foreigners to see the charm of Chinese Kung Fu.He is well-deserved as a superstar, but he is not a successful filmmaker. A real filmmaker can fly across the sky of Hollywood, like a great roc spreading its wings and soaring ninety thousand miles.

This is Chen Xiaotang's goal!

Lead the huge "pirate ship" of Moying Entertainment to loot all the resources of the treasure house of Hollywood!
But now, the facts are in front of you. Without strength, you are just a chicken. What Chinese dragons and Asian lions are all empty words!
Moying Entertainment is just in its early years, and in front of a giant like Hollywood, it is as small as a grain of sand.

Wanting to use such strength to open the door of Hollywood is undoubtedly a kind of idiot's dream of overestimating one's abilities!

Difficult, really difficult!
Chen Xiaotang was full of distress.

Indoors, smoky.
