Movie tycoon

Chapter 650 The Legendary "Industrial Light and Magic"

It is said that Chen Xiaotang limped to the front of the crowd after filming the film, first waved his hands to calm everyone down, then nodded to Cheng Xiaodong and said, "How can I say that the film is finished now, let's prepare for tonight's celebration , the champagne can also be taken out. We will all leave early tomorrow morning in order to rush to Hollywood for post-editing and copying. This time, our Chinese films are destined to become famous all over the world. Let the so-called Hollywood take a good look at what is called real kung fu movie."

"Yeah!" Everyone jumped up happily when they heard that there was really champagne, but Cheng Xiaodong was a little puzzled and asked curiously: "Where did we get the champagne? This is not Hong Kong, and there are no shops in front of the village or in the back." Yes, even if you want to buy it, you can't buy it?"

"I've been ready for a long time!" Chen Xiaotang clapped his hands, and then saw two Arabs jump on a military truck. After pulling the tarpaulin, Cheng Xiaodong was shocked like everyone else. There is beer, red wine, and a lot of champagne in the car, which is enough to make everyone present drink down.

"This is... when did this happen?" Everyone was curious.

Chen Xiaotang smiled, pointed to Princess Aisha who had just arrived not far away, and said, "I would like to thank our dear Princess for your sponsorship!"

Princess sponsorship? !
Everyone looked at the mysterious Arabian princess.

Aisha nodded gracefully, and said with a smile, "You're welcome, you guys are filming, and I'm watching the show, so you have to put in some effort, right?!"

"Wow, thank you so much, Your Royal Highness!"

"Thank you princess!"

"Long live the princess!" A group of people yelled out gags.

Princess Aisha seems to be enjoying the atmosphere of being praised, and she is happy from ear to ear.

The two Arabs continued to unload the wine.

"It's too extravagant!" Fatty Wang Jing and director Cheng Xiaodong were dumbfounded when they saw crates of Remy Martin and Tequila Cong unloaded from the truck.

Not to mention anything else, the price of this car of drinks alone would cost at least hundreds of thousands, right?

Tsk tsk, this princess is really too generous, the oil seller is indeed better than the grain and oil seller!

Like them, the staff from Hong Kong were also shocked. Martell, Tequila, Remy Martin... as long as they know good wine, they can find it here, which can definitely satisfy anyone's taste , here, it is more complete than some medium-sized bars!
"This princess is super awesome!" Everyone couldn't help but say this in their hearts.

"Okay, come on, let's drink soda first, and then have barbecue at night, drink champagne and white wine, and now, let us have a good rest, those who want to go out for a walk can go, otherwise, There may not be a chance to come again in the future!" Chen Xiaotang said, picked up a can of Coke, shook it at everyone with a smile, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Come on, friends, let's replace wine with soda, cheers!" Everyone cheered.
Amidst the laughter, the scorching sunset gradually set on the sand dunes, reflecting the clouds all over the sky red, and the diligent staff have already set up a bonfire made of poplar wood. As long as it gets dark, everyone can have a good time around the bonfire celebrated.

"Sunset over a long river" is a pleasant beauty, but it is a pity that there is no river here, so it lacks some charm, but watching the bright moon in the sky gradually brighten up, everyone's mood is still indescribably happy, impatient people The wine glass tower has been set up long ago, and all kinds of corkscrews are already in hand. When the time comes, just give an order, and within 5 minutes, everyone can start drinking freely.

Slowly, the sky had completely dimmed, and at this moment, Chen Xiaotang, who had rubbed the Dieta wine on his legs, walked out of the tent with a friendly smile on his face.He looked at the people present, then at the unlit bonfire, nodded slightly, took a bottle of champagne from Cheng Xiaodong's hand, and said loudly while shaking: "Now, I announce that tonight The carnival has begun!"

"Chi Chi..." As soon as he finished speaking, the fingers covering the mouth of the champagne bottle moved away abruptly, and then a burst of fragrant wine sprayed out, splashing everywhere around, and the sharp-eyed The people even ignited the fire poured with gasoline and opened all kinds of expensive liquor, but the sound engineers turned on the tape recorders and played beautiful Arabic music from it. In an instant, the whole camp fell into a carnival middle.

"Come on, cheers!" Chen Xiaotang had no choice but to take out the boss's shelf at this time, took a glass of brandy and touched it with Cheng Xiaodong, and then drank it down. Then, he didn't even put down the glass, and the fat Wang Jing He brought another glass of red wine for him, raised the glass to him with a smile and said, "It's my turn, cheers!"

"Dizzy, are you trying to get me drunk?" Chen Xiaotang smiled. Of course, Chen Xiaotang would not refuse this kind of low-alcohol alcohol, and he would kill it in one gulp.

"Lafite Chen, I would like to toast you too!" The big guy Jean-Claude Van Damme brought not ordinary white wine, but golden tequila.Chen Xiaotang said "Cheers", clinked glasses with him, and drank it down in one gulp, indescribably crisp and free.Then, Longger also came over with rum in his hand, and Chen Xiaotang killed him in one gulp without saying a word.

And at this time, Chen Xiaotang finally understood that I'm afraid I'm going to have a drink tonight. After all, the cameraman, prop artist, sound engineer, make-up artist, stage manager, drama manager...etc. Toast, after such a round, it’s not good to say not to drink, drink, other people will definitely continue to come, so, at this time, Chen Xiaotang also let go, simply refused to refuse anyone who came, and if you want to drink, use your strength Drink, anyway, he is not afraid of alcohol poisoning now.It's just a matter of going to the toilet a few more times.

After making this kind of plan, everyone found that Chen Xiaotang had changed and became more active. The high-grade baijiu was directly killed like mineral water without even hiccupping. Except for the women present, everyone else was basically drunk, and more than half of the alcohol was wiped out.

This night, the entire camp was covered by the smell of alcohol, and the bonfire burned until dawn. In the middle of the night, many people were woken up by the dry wind, and most of them would probably catch a cold tomorrow!
After wasting for nearly a month, the shooting mission in Cairo, Egypt was finally over.

Chen Xiaotang brought Fatty and the director Cheng Xiaodong to fly to Hollywood, and asked Industrial Light and Magic to help them with the post-production of the film.Others headed home, catching planes back to Hong Kong.

On the day of departure, Princess Aisha, Sandy and others saw Chen Xiaotang and the others off.

Yiyi bid farewell, and no one said anything. Princess Aisha said, "They are welcome to come to Egypt anytime!"

Sandy said: "Rafi Chen, you are the best friend bestowed to us by God. Although we have had holidays, we don't know each other. I hope we can keep in touch in the future! And—" Sandy said here, Touching his hooked nose, "Please say hello when the movie is released, after all, I'm still playing tricks in it!"

Chen Xiaotang couldn't help smiling, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely invite you to watch the show for free when this movie is released!"

"It's a promise!"

"Say what you say!"...

Singing and laughing, we parted.

When Chen Xiaotang and his group boarded the plane, Princess Aisha and others reluctantly waved below. Perhaps for Chen Xiaotang, he was just a passer-by in the Arab world, but for Princess Aisha and the others. It is said that Chen Xiaotang has left an extremely beautiful poem here!Yes, they will not forget him, the bright and talented young man!

America, Hollywood!

The magic capital of the world's movies!
Here, as long as you are talented and willing to work hard, you can break through the world.

Here, as long as you have the capital and are willing to work hard, you can earn a lot of money.

But the premise is that you have to be an American, blond and blue-eyed, or worse, a black man like Michael Jackson. As for the Chinese, I have never heard of anyone who has succeeded in Hollywood, except for the legendary Bruce Lee.

Now, Chen Xiaotang, Fatty Wang Jing, and director Cheng Xiaodong are standing on Hollywood Boulevard.Looking up, I saw high-rise buildings everywhere, and the signboards of major film companies could be seen flickering.

On the side of the road, there are pedestrians in a hurry, high-nosed, blond-haired and blue-eyed Americans, and coal-digging blacks passing by, making you feel that this is a foreign city, and you are an out-and-out foreigner.

"Is this Hollywood?" The fat man asked, staring at the upright buttocks of ghost girls running around in the street.

"Is this the movie capital of the world?" Cheng Xiaodong asked, staring at the various movie posters on the advertising wall.

"Is this the ultimate pursuit of my dream?" Chen Xiaotang asked looking at the vast world and the tall buildings.

"Hollywood, here I come!" Suddenly, Chen Xiaotang raised his head and raised his arms and shouted.

Fatty and the two looked at him, and suddenly roared like crazy, "Oh yeah, we're here! Woooo!!!"

Due to too much movement, those ghosts around looked sideways at them one by one, probably saying in their hearts, crazy, crazy!
Ignoring the strange gazes of the people around, Chen Xiaotang patted Fatty and Cheng Xiaodong on the shoulders as if nothing had happened, and said, "Let's go, let's try an American McDonald's too!"

United States, McDonald's fast food restaurant.

To be honest, the McDonald’s here is no different from the one in Hong Kong. If there is a difference, it is that the McDonald’s in the United States is more lively. When you sit down and take a look, you will see crowds of people everywhere, black, white, yellow, There are also old people, children, punks, school girls... all kinds of people are there, it is a veritable hodgepodge.Perhaps this is because Americans like to eat McDonald's as a meal, unlike Hong Kong, which is just "snacks" and "snacks".

Sitting in the store, enjoying the exotic atmosphere, Chen Xiaotang and Fatty began to talk about the post-production of the movie.In the end, I decided to go to Industrial Light and Magic to take a look.

In fact, before filming this movie, they had already greeted Industrial Light & Magic, and they were willing to help with computer special effects, not to mention that Chen Xiaotang directly invested 3000 million Hong Kong dollars, a total of 7000 million Hong Kong dollars, to invest in Industrial Light & Magic's research projects. This made Comrade Lucas very excited.

There is no way, "spending money" on high-tech research is the same as "burning money". Many American film companies dare not invest money in it, lest it will be in vain, but a Hong Kong boss is so "reckless", even Comrade Lucas, who was suffering from nothing, was very moved by investing 3000 million U.S. dollars by "doing what is right".Therefore, Lucas became even more curious about Chen Xiaotang himself, and wanted to meet this legendary figure.

Now, the legend is finally here.

Lukas stroked his beard and looked at Chen Xiaotang. He was young, handsome, energetic, and very courageous. Well, he was a good Chinese, and his appearance was stinky enough!
Chen Xiaotang was also looking at Lucas, he had a big beard, not because he was old, but because he was slovenly and coquettish, wearing thick glasses, he looked like a scholar who was not very serious at first glance, and he had a protruding beer belly. It proves that he is a mental worker who is not good at physical labor and often sits on a chair.

"Welcome, dear Lafite Chen, welcome!" Lucas warmly embraced Chen Xiaotang.

Chen Xiaotang might as well be so enthusiastic, being hugged suddenly, he just felt a body odor coming to his nostrils.

No wonder people say that ghosts have the unique skill of "body odor" and like to cover it up with perfume. Only when you get close to them can you smell the mystery.

Fortunately, Chen Xiaotang was so determined that he could still survive under such a blazing body odor. He pushed Lucas away, "You are too polite, friend!"

"You're welcome, you're welcome, your 3000 million has helped me a lot!" Lucas is honest, unlike the traditional Chinese who are "ashamed to talk about money", but directly named the theme and central idea.

"Hehe, it's good if I can help you, not to mention we need you to do post-production computer special effects for our movie!" Chen Xiaotang said.

"Don't worry about this, dear Chen!" Lucas said, "Don't dare to say anything else, I just did special effects for movies! But... when will your 3000 million dollars be fully credited?"

It turned out that after Chen Xiaotang and Industrial Light & Magic negotiated the investment matters, they first brought in 100 million US dollars, but the money was a drop in the bucket for Industrial Light & Magic, which was burning money wantonly, and it was not enough at all, so Comrade Lucas Will be so impatient.

Chen Xiaotang smiled: "Be safe and don't be impatient. There is a saying in China that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Look, let's talk about the cooperation between our Shadow and Industrial Light & Magic on this matter?"

"Cooperation?" Lucas was taken aback, "Aren't you just investing, why are you still cooperating?"

"That's right, Lao Lu, you are so old, why are you so naive and cute. Tell me, who would spend 3000 million US dollars so stupidly, without asking for anything in return, just for the pleasure of helping others? I'm not our Chinese mother, let alone Joan of Arc!"

What Chen Xiaotang said made Lucas blush, "You are right, but cooperation..."

"Why are you still hesitating? You light demons, our phantoms, you all have the word 'magic', whether it's sweet or not, home water, whether you want to kiss your family..."

Lucas was dizzy, why did he become "my family"? !

Chen Xiaotang continued to flicker: "So, God has destined us to fight the world together! You have talent, I have money, as long as you ask, our Shadow Fund will continuously provide you with 'oil' , to help you run on the high-tech road! Don't hesitate, don't hesitate, the opportunity is right in front of you! Come on, dear Lucas brothers, let us work together to make a fortune and create miracles!"

Chen Xiaotang used the eloquence of rural cadres to fool the common people by "having fewer children and raising more pigs", and made Lucas so confused that he was almost at a loss.

"Ahem, dear Chen, can you let me think about it a little bit, I can't turn the corner!"

"Of course, this is certainly possible! Think about it, the 3000 million run-up fund is coming soon, miracles are waiting for you to create, that mysterious virgin land is taking you to develop, in the future you will be a myth, legend, and pride in the film industry It's - Prometheus!" Chen Xiaotang took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.

Comrade Lucas's heart was burning hot, as if stuffed with a cannonball, which might explode at any moment.

"Okay, tell me, how to cooperate?!" Lucas waved his hand, protruding his belly like a "Napoleon".

"It's very simple," Chen Xiaotang leaned into his ear and said, "I hope to hold 30.00% of the shares of Guangmo!"

30.00%?stock? !
"No, absolutely not!" Lucas, at least not a fool, jumped up immediately. "The reason why Light & Magic has been able to develop to this day is because we hold our own shares, so as not to interfere with others. Now you want to talk about splitting shares, which is absolutely impossible!"

Hearing what Lucas said, Chen Xiaotang felt relieved, at least the other party rejected him, not because he was Chinese, but because he was afraid of the company's intervention.

"Hehe, please listen to me, Brother Lucas!" Chen Xiaotang said, "From the beginning to the end, I never thought of interfering with your company's development and research. On the contrary, I will only offer some valuable opinions for you. Reference! Also, we have already researched, 3000 million, 30.00% of the shares, absolutely worth it! So, you don't have to worry about it, let alone refuse it!"

If Lucas is compared to a clam with clenched teeth, then Chen Xiaotang's mouth is a sharp knife point, and he can pry it open!

At this moment, Lucas's heart is moved. What he fears most is that others will use money to invest to interfere with his research. Now, there is such a rare confidant...
"Okay then, dear Chen, since you've said everything to this point, it would be a bit unreasonable for me to refuse!"

"Hehe, God can prove that our cooperation will be very pleasant!"

Chen Xiaotang stretched out his hand.

Lucas shook it.
