Movie tycoon

Chapter 651 Blood is thicker than water ([-] more)
The next day, there was a slight fluctuation in major Hollywood media in the United States. This fluctuation came from a Chinese who actually invested 3000 million in Industrial Light & Magic, and promised not to interfere in any research project of Light & Magic.

Regarding this incident, gossip broke the news continuously and did not give a grand report, but some media still published some comments and opinions of their own.

Generally speaking, there are too many ridicules.

"The Chinese have also learned to come to Hollywood to play movies, and they also want to play high-tech. It's a pity that they spent 3000 million for nothing, but they can't even fart in research!"

"Is this the Chinese guy's stunt to enter Hollywood? Buying a title for 3000 million is really an idiot!"

"If you have money, you can't waste it like this! As we all know, Lucas is an expert in burning money, and the Chinese are miserable!"...

Being ridiculed and ridiculed by others, Chen Xiaotang didn't care, because only he knew what kind of miracles this money-burning Industrial Light & Magic could create in the future.

And myself, I'm afraid I will only count the money and get cramps!
Behind these satirical reports, some people began to discuss the new movie "Assassin's Creed" that Chen Xiaotang had just finished filming.In this regard, the evaluation given by everyone is also "not very optimistic".

"The films made by the Chinese are only suitable for their own people to watch. It is undoubtedly an impossible task to stand out in Hollywood!"

"Assassin's Creed? It's surprising that Chinese people like to make movies with such themes. I heard that it's about the Crusades. Undoubtedly, this is trying to please our Hollywood audience, but we may not buy it! Poor Chinese, you are going to lose your pants and go home!"

"From the beginning to the end, there has never been a single Chinese who has been able to run wild in Hollywood with his own movies! To put it bluntly, Hollywood is not their Hong Kong, they can't afford it, and they can't play it!  …

Faced with these unfavorable words and comments, the original pride of the film's producer Fatty Wang Jing and director Cheng Xiaodong has also become negative.

They began to doubt whether they could succeed, whether the play could win.

So, belief is an interesting thing. It doesn't come from yourself, but from the gossip around you.Just like a genius, even if you are really talented, if people around you say you are a fool, then this genius will become unconfident, and then become a victim of these accidents.

Chen Xiaotang was unwilling to be a "victim", so he wanted to stand up.The first thing I did was to contact my Hollywood friend "Afro" Jim and tell him that I would hold a press conference for my movie "Assassin's Creed" before it was released.

For a Chinese to go to Hollywood to develop a press conference for his own film, this gimmick is big enough.

In other words, this gimmick is interesting enough, fun enough, and funny enough, so those idle Hollywood reporters are ready to see the release methods of these Chinese people in the mood of watching the excitement.

"Afro" Jim is definitely a good friend. After receiving Chen Xiaotang's request, he contacted a large theater near Chinatown and arranged for the press conference to be held here.

Why arrange it in Chinatown?

This is why Afro is a good friend. After all, Chinatown is a place where Chinese people gather. Why don't my family help my family? !

Three days later, everything was ready.

Chen Xiaotang, Fatty and others are all ready to go.

Outside the hotel, Afro Jim was waiting for them in the car.

When everyone got into the car, it was inevitable to exchange pleasantries.Afro is also a real person, and a real person speaks straightforwardly. He expressed his opinion to Chen Xiaotang, expressing that he is not very optimistic about this drama.After all, Jim has been in the Hollywood circle for so long, from actor to director to company boss. In his words, the water here is very deep.He didn't really believe that Chen Xiaotang could get along well here, not to mention that all kinds of comments were very unfavorable to him now.

Chen Xiaotang understood his thoughts, but said: "Jim, do you believe in miracles?"

"Miracle? This kind of thing is too unreal."

"But I believe," Chen Xiaotang said firmly, "Look, there will be new miracles in Hollywood in the future!"...

Chinatown near Hollywood.

The Chinese civilization lasts for 5000 years.And the flourishing Tang Dynasty was able to win us over. In today's fashionable words, the Tang Dynasty was equivalent to the United States at that time. No, it should be said to be more powerful than the United States. All nations came to the DPRK, and people of all races went here Run, it's like smuggling.

Therefore, "Tang Ren" has become the most well-known title for Chinese people overseas.And Chinatown has also become a place where overseas Chinese gather.Various Chinese restaurants and restaurants stand side by side here, and various antique shops, antique shops, and Chinese clothing stores are opened to welcome guests from all over.

Red bean paste buns, egg fried rice, noodles with fried sauce, BJ roast duck... and other Chinese delicacies make people drool.

But at this moment, Chen Xiaotang and his group are not here for dinner, but to hold a press conference before the film's release.

A movie is like a daughter born to oneself.To release a movie is to marry off your daughter.

Whether your daughter can marry well depends on your eloquence and whether you can praise her like a flower.In the same way, whether this drama can achieve impressive results depends on the news mobilization before its release.

Chen Xiaotang was looking forward to it.

However, when they arrived at the press conference site, they found that it was deserted inside, only a few ghost reporters were picking their noses leisurely, their expressions were very unhappy, and they seemed to be deceived.

Chen Xiaotang was depressed.

Compared with the glory and splendor of Hong Kong, Chen Xiaotang feels like a worthless outsider here.

Yes, this feeling is bad, but strong.If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that his old face would have turned red into a monkey's butt.But Chen Xiaotang is not an ordinary person, so he must persevere.

No matter how sneering, contemptuous, and contemptuous the eyes of the ghost reporters around me are, I must persevere!
"Look, what a shit press conference, there's not even a single person!"

"That's right, trick us here, these Chinese people are really hateful!"

"Yawn! No matter how you say it, I'm here, let's take a look first!"...

The ghost reporters muttered reluctantly.

Chen Xiaotang's ears are very sharp, so he heard all these words, and he was in a moment of embarrassment.

Suddenly, a messy sound came.

"Rafi, here we come!"

"Chinese beat Chinese!"

"Support you!"……

Following the words, I saw a group of hula la people holding banners surging inside.The sound of gongs and drums was so loud that the lion dance was missing.

In a short while, the whole theater was covered in darkness, there were really too many people.

The first one was a big Chinese man with a scarf around his waist. He had a big face and a thick neck. He was definitely a chef.Immediately behind him was an old man in a Tang suit with a purple clay teapot in his mouth. At first glance, he looked like an antique dealer. There were also Chinese tailors, Chinese martial artists, Chinese doctors, etc. in Chinatown, with black eyes and yellow skin. Almost all the Chinese in Chinatown came to join in.

Facing the sudden change, Chen Xiaotang was just as dumbfounded as everyone else!

It wasn't until Jim with the explosive head gave Chen Xiaotang a thumbs up that Chen Xiaotang realized that it was all Jim's fault.

It's true that Afro Jim encouraged the Chinese in Chinatown to come and cheer, but he didn't expect such a big battle.

In fact, this is because Afro Jim underestimated Chen Xiaotang's popularity among the Chinese. Not to mention anything else, Chen Xiaotang's movie fans and music fans alone are all over the world!It can be said that wherever there are Chinese, there must be fans of Chen Xiaotang!
Besides, those ghost reporters were almost fooled by the noise.

All of them opened their mouths wide and said in their hearts, what's the matter with his grandma? !

At this moment, they seem to understand that this Chinese star seems to be extraordinary!

Perhaps, today we can find some good revelations!Someone thought so.

It lasted about 3 minutes before the whole scene became completely silent.

Chen Xiaotang sat on the press conference platform and started his first speech in Hollywood.

"I'm very glad to be able to sit here today and see you all! I'm very excited!" Looking at the countless Chinese with the same skin color in the audience, Chen Xiaotang's tone trembled a little.

The Chinese people in the audience were also very excited. After all, they used to be separated by oceans, but now they can be together face to face. This is simply a miracle.

Idols and stars may no longer be important.What matters is the feeling that blood is thicker than water.

That's why Chen Xiaotang only said this sentence, and the crowd started to applaud desperately.

How could the ghost reporters understand the "meaning" of it, and looked at the scene in front of them with some surprise.

Chen Xiaotang had to make a gesture to signal the big guy to be quiet again, and then said word by word: "For us Hong Kong filmmakers, the investment of this film is over [-] million, and it took more than three months from the preliminary preparation to the completion of the filming. , an action movie that everyone calls the most mysterious and most anticipated for Christmas is about to be released!"

"This is the first time for us Hong Kong filmmakers to move our film to Hollywood for the premiere! It is also the first time for us Hong Kong filmmakers to shoot an action blockbuster according to the Hollywood model! It is also the first time that it is here in this form Hold a press conference!" Chen Xiaotang said excitedly, "For me, these first times will be unforgettable in my life; especially I can see you fans and friends who support me and help me here for the first time, I It will be engraved in my heart! Thank you! It is you who have given me strength, so that I am no longer alone in this strange country, no longer fighting alone! Thank you——!" Chen Xiaotang solemnly bowed deeply to the crowd below.

I don't know who it is, the chef of Zhonghua Building, the owner of the tailor shop, or the father of the antique shop took the lead in applauding, and then, the hundreds of audience below couldn't suppress their emotions, and clapped their hands vigorously. , The whole building heard thunderous applause.

The ghost reporters were stunned again, thinking, these yellow-skinned guys are sick, right? !Why are you so surprised? !
