The Most Powerful Tycoon Reborn In Xiangjiang

Chapter 297 No one is optimistic about this project (7K chapter, please subscribe~)



Chu Huan has her own traffic halo!

No matter where others are, they can always cause a local sensation.

It's no exception in Hollywood.

Chu Huan first announced that he wanted to sell 30% of the investment share in Dragon Warrior, which immediately attracted a collective reaction from the top eight Hollywood players. Just when everyone was guessing who would get this good card, news spread immediately.

Chu Huan's black-and-white images teamed up with Hollywood's Vertex Pictures to win the big burden Star Wars in the hands of 20th Century Fox!

There are also gossip rumors that these two companies have spent a total of 1 million US dollars in order to get a project that no one is optimistic about!

In addition, Chu Huan also sold 30% of the investment share in Dragon Warrior to 20th Century Fox for the same price of 1 million!

Even the Los Angeles Times, the largest newspaper in California, where Los Angeles is located, reported the news!

This is a deal as stupid as a greedy snake swallowing an elephant!

The Los Angeles Times determined the nature of this transaction. In their view, Chu Huan sold his investment share in Dragon Warrior and only got a mere half a million yuan, and spent another 100 yuan in the hands of 20th Century Fox. Wan bought the rights to Star Wars, which was a stupid decision at all.

The reason why they say it is 500,000 is because they all think that Chu Huan's black and white images and Vertex Pictures are two different individuals.

Since buying the ownership of Star Wars cost 1 million US dollars, and the two companies occupy the same proportion of investment, the money spent is naturally the same.

Isn't half of 1 million equal to 500,000?

Look, the Los Angeles Times said that you are the owner of a film company with no vision, and you actually gave up Dragon Warrior that has a high probability of making money for a Star Wars that everyone is not optimistic about!

Kelly held the newspaper in her hand and preached to Chu Huan.

Chu Huan said indifferently: Typical North American newspaper reporting style!

Kelly asked curiously: What is the reporting style of a typical North American newspaper?

Chu Huan explained: Some people are only willing to believe what they want to believe, while newspapers in North America are only willing to report what they think is correct!

Then Chu Huan continued to speak disdainfully: I don't believe that the Los Angeles Times will not know about the matter between me and Warner Bros., but they just don't report it, because once the report comes out, it will appear that they are businessmen in North America. Without the spirit of the contract, it would be better to focus on the two films Dragon Warrior and Star Wars.

Kelly made Chu Huan speechless, after all, she was also from North America.

By the way, we spent a lot of money to buy Star Wars from 20th Century Fox this time. Do you really think this movie can be successful in Hollywood?

Kelly, who didn't know how to answer Chu Huan's question, decisively changed the subject.

Chu Huan came to Los Angeles this time with 30 million US dollars.

At the time, Vertex itself had a balance of $2.5 million.

Among them, he sold 30% of the investment share in Dragon Warrior and made a profit of 1 million US dollars.

Then the 1 million can offset the 1 million US dollars that 20th Century Fox bought the Star Wars project.

The rest is that Spielberg's Jaws needs an additional investment of 6 million U.S. dollars, and the total investment cost of Jaws has come to 9 million U.S. dollars.

Although the previous purchase of Star Wars in the hands of Twentieth Century Fox only cost $1 million, but at the same time, Twentieth Century Fox had to pay the $3.5 million that Twentieth Century Fox had already invested in Star Wars.

Chu Huan also invested US$3 million in George Lucas's Industrial Light and Magic, accounting for 60% of the shares, but Chu Huan did not participate in the management.

Finally, there is an additional investment in the Star Wars project. According to George Lucas' prediction, the entire film needs an additional investment of 8.5 million US dollars. In the end, Chu Huan and Kelly decided to invest 4 million US dollars first, and wait for the film to start. Then put in again!

George Lucas had no problem with that either!

In addition, Chu Huan spent another 10 million US dollars to buy 20% of the proceeds from Star Wars in the hands of George Lucas.

So after deducting the money spent, Chu Huan's 30 million US dollars was left with 5 million US dollars!

Forget about the money and keep it in Vertex Pictures.

After making some calculations, Chu Huan spoke helplessly.

Kelly naturally has no objection to this.

While the two were discussing these matters, Li Xiaolong came to the hotel again, but this time Kelly did not hide in the bedroom.

Seeing that Kelly was also in Chu Huan's guest room, Li Xiaolong was a little surprised, then calmed down, and said to Chu Huan with a smile: It's almost time.

The two agreed last night to watch the NBA game together tonight.

Kelly made an international gesture to Li Xiaolong in her heart, then stood up and said, Huan, don't forget the banquet with Ellen Hirschfield tomorrow night!

After speaking, he left Chu Huan's room directly.

Finally got rid of the burden of Star Wars and bought the investment share of Dragon Warrior from Chu Huan. Naturally, Alan Hirschfeld was very happy, so he decided to hold a dinner party tomorrow night. Invite Chu Huan and Kelly to participate.

In fact, not only Chu Huan and Kelly received the invitation, even Li Xiaolong also received the invitation.

What's wrong with Miss Kelly? Why doesn't it feel like she's not very happy?

Li Xiaolong looked at Kelly who was leaving, and asked curiously.

It's not that she's unhappy, it's just that she simply doesn't want to face Ni Chuhuan and said calmly: Maybe it's a relative!

Li Xiaolong was stunned, and said: So it's like this, I should have reminded Miss Kelly to drink more hot water just now!

Chu Huan: .

After a brief chat, the two set off to the home court of the Los Angeles Lakers. At this time, the home court of the Lakers was not the famous Staples Center, but the Forum Stadium.

The Forum is located on West Manchester Avenue, across 90th Street, and to the south of it is the Hollywood Park Racetrack and Casino.

The whole forum stadium looks like a white sundae

There are four major professional sports leagues in North America, namely the American Football League, the North American Professional Baseball League, the North American Professional Basketball League, and the National Hockey League.

For domestic audiences, the most popular is the NBA, but in North America, the NBA can only rank third among the four major professional leagues, after the NFL and MLB. after.

The NFL Super Bowl is the biggest event for Americans, and the Super Bowl is also known as the North American Spring Festival Gala.

So many friends will see that whenever the Super Bowl is held, countless Hollywood stars will go to watch the scene, and the singers who can sing on the Super Bowl are also the hottest singers in North America that year, but this tradition has not always been Yes, before the 1990s, there were very few celebrities participating in the Super Bowl halftime show. Most of them were performances by performing arts organizations, which lacked attention. However, with the development of the Super Bowl, the halftime show began to pay more and more attention to inviting popular singers. 's appearance.

Michael Jackson, who performed on the Super Bowl halftime show in 1993, caused a huge sensation.

Later, the Super Bowl halftime show also became a stage for many production companies to release their new movie trailers, and many blockbuster movies will release their new movie trailers here.

In the future, Apex Pictures will definitely have a lot of movie trailers landing in the Super Bowl!

Forum Stadium is the Lakers' home court, and the attendance rate is not very high at this time. One is because the performance of the Lakers this year is really not very good. At the end of last season, the ancient behemoth Chamberlain retired. This season, the logo man Jerry Weiss If there is no accident, Jerry West will retire after the end of the season.

He even went to court with Jack Cook, the owner of the Lakers at this time, because of contract issues.

That's right, the Bass family hadn't bought the Lakers at this time. The owner of the Lakers at this time was Jack Cook, who bought it for $5 million in 1965 from a businessman named Shaw.

By the way, Old Buss bought the Lakers for $67 million in 1979!

I don't know that Jenny Buss has not entered the Lakers' home court as an adult, Chu Huan silently thought, Aunt Jenny is a treasure, whoever chooses it!

There is another reason for the low attendance rate. As I just said, the influence of the NBA in North America at this time is not high. The real influence of the NBA in North America is because of the black and white double evil period.

Black and white Shuangsha allowed the NBA to expand its influence in North America, and the old hooligan Michael Jordan let the world know about the NBA.

Chu Huan and Li Xiaolong were sitting in the first row. At this time, the Lakers and their opponents, the Bucks, were warming up. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, wearing the iconic glasses and the Bucks uniform, walked over.

Bruce, when our movie will be released in North America, I can't wait!

At this time, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's simple and honest appearance is quite different from his image of killing all directions on the court.

Abdul-Jabbar used the NBA offseason to star in Li Xiaolong's Game of Death and has been waiting for the movie to be released.

In the NBA, players have a fine tradition of shooting movies. Now Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, later Jordan, O'Neal, and James have all participated in the shooting of movies, and even starred in them.

And Kobe was even more exaggerated, and even made a short film, which won an Oscar statuette.

In addition, in order to promote itself, the NBA also invested in the shooting of two basketball-themed movies, telling the story of a black boy who accidentally got a pair of Jordan's sneakers, and then made a big splash in the NBA.

In these two films, many NBA players participated!

Li Xiaolong smiled and said, It's coming soon, it will be released in North America in May this year!

Hearing what Li Xiaolong said, Kareem immediately became happy.

Haha, I can't wait to see myself in the movie!

Chu Huan didn't understand what to expect from him who was beaten up by Li Xiaolong in the movie.

Then Li Xiaolong introduced Chu Huan to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Hearing that Chu Huan is Li Xiaolong's good friend, Kareem immediately asked excitedly, Huan, are you also a martial arts master?

Chu Huan shook his head with a smile and said, I'm not, just like you, I'm just interested in kung fu!

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar laughed and said, Then you are definitely not my opponent!

Looking at Jabbar's height of more than two meters and his black and strong body, Chu Huan said: You have no chance to get close to me!

With Qin Peng and others present, Kareem took care of everything with ease, and there was no way for him to fight Chu Huan.

It's just that these words fell into Jabbar's ears, but he thought that Chu Huan was habitually humble like many Hua people!

The three of them didn't chat a few words, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar returned to the court to continue warming up.

Soon the game officially started. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar killed all sides on the court, and the current Lakers were powerless to fight back with all kinds of hooks.

The game is not very exciting, but the vision of muscle collision can give people a feeling of blood spurting, which is much better than Chu Huan's NBA before his rebirth. Well, Chu Huan didn't watch it at that time.

Chu Huan didn't know if Jack Cook was there, and if he saw Kareem's power in this game, he recruited Kareem into the Lakers.

Just when Chu Huan and Li Xiaolong were enjoying the game, a voice suddenly came from beside them.

Bruce!

Hearing someone greet him, Li Xiaolong turned his head and saw a fat Caucasian male sitting behind him.

Li Xiaolong was in a trance, thinking of the other party's identity.

Jackson!

The two sat there and hugged.

Afterwards, Li Xiaolong immediately introduced to Chu Huan: A Huan, this is Jackson from Hollywood independent production company Flash Movie Industry, he is my good friend in Hollywood!

Jackson, this is Chu Huan, the boss of Xiangjiang Black and White Image, and he is also my good brother!

When Jackson heard that the person sitting next to Li Xiaolong was Chu Huan, who was very famous in Hollywood during this period, he immediately showed a playful expression.

So you are Chu Huan, you don't look like such a stupid person!

Hearing the other party's unscrupulous words, the expressions of Chu Huan and Li Xiaolong suddenly changed.

Jackson laughed indifferently, and said, I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding!

Since the other party can be so unscrupulous, Chu Huan naturally won't spoil him: You shouldn't be a fat man by listening to the voice!

Calling a person fat in North America is the same as calling a girl who loves beauty ugly and dark in China.

It is a sentence that extremely hurts the fragile hearts of the North American people.

Sure enough, after Chu Huan finished speaking, the smile on Jackson's face disappeared immediately, and his skin, which was already fair, became even whiter now.

His chest was heaving violently.

You are so rude. I just made a North American joke for you. How can you insult people?

Jackson suppressed the anger in his heart, and preached to Chu Huan in dissatisfaction.

Chu Huan spread his hands and said with a smile: Then you are too heartless. I just made a Huaguo-style joke with you. How dare I insult you!

Hmph! Jackson snorted coldly: Am I wrong? You are not stupid to sell the investment share of Bruce's Dragon Warrior to 20th Century Fox in exchange for a Star Wars that is destined to lose a lot of money. What is it?

Chu Huan didn't bother to argue with this kind of person, so he just said calmly: You are indeed a fat man, and I'm not wrong!

I Jackson looked at Chu Huan angrily, When Star Wars is released in the future, the money you lose will make you laugh!

At this time, Chu Huan's eyes had returned to the arena, and he calmly said: Even if Star Wars is released, you are still a fat man!

Having said that, Chu Huan turned to look at Jackson contemptuously, and added, And he's an ugly fat man!

Jackson immediately exploded with anger. He wanted to get up to argue with Chu Huan, but Qin Peng, who noticed the situation here, pushed him directly on the chair. Jackson wanted to struggle, but he couldn't break free from Qin Peng's wrist!

In the end, the game was not over yet, and Jackson left in dismay.

It seems that the whole of Hollywood is not very optimistic about your decision this time!

Sitting next to Chu Huan, Li Xiaolong spoke with a smile.

Brother Long, it seems that your vision for making friends will improve in the future. Chu Huan knew that Li Xiaolong was really joking with him.

Li Xiaolong said helplessly: It's just like a woman. That woman doesn't meet a few scumbags in her life. How can a man not meet a few bad friends in his life? Fortunately, this friend's friendship is not too deep!

Chu Huan joked: Just now you were still saying that the other party is your good friend!

Li Xiaolong said helplessly: Then how do I introduce it? Could it be that this is a fat man I know?

Chu Huan and Li Xiaolong looked at each other and smiled, not taking this matter to heart.

However, when the game was over and Chu Huan and Li Xiaolong drove back together, Qin Peng who was driving suddenly preached to Chu Huan.

Young Master Huan, there is a car behind us that has been following us since we came out of the gymnasium!

Chu Huan's complexion changed slightly. It was not the first time he came to North America. In fact, Chu Huan always cherished the same thing about North America in this era. This kind of vigilance is only the proliferation of guns.

Let Chu Huan have no sense of security in this country.

At this time, he was suddenly targeted by someone. Without knowing the identity of the other party, Chu Huan did not intend to tangle with the other party, but said: Get rid of that car!

Qin Peng nodded and accelerated the car.

However, Qin Peng was obviously still not familiar with this place, and he didn't get rid of the car behind him in a short time. Instead, the car behind saw Chu Huan's car speeding up and leaving, so it also accelerated.

Depending on the situation, it is impossible for Qin Peng to get rid of the opponent in a short time.

Young Master Huan, it's okay to hand over the car behind to Song Lusheng and the others, no matter how many people are sitting in that car, whether they have weapons or not!

Qin Peng preached calmly at this time.

Chu Huan nodded. Chu Huan would never express his opinion on such a professional matter. Since Qin Peng said there is no problem, there must be no problem!

Then Qin Peng took out the walkie-talkie and told Song Lusheng and others who were driving behind the decision.

Immediately, Song Lusheng's excited voice came over the intercom: Don't worry, it's a small problem!

Immediately afterwards, Chu Huan heard the harsh sound of a car colliding behind him.

Li Xiaolong's expression also changed slightly at this time. Although Li Xiaolong has acted as a hero several times in movies, this is the first time he has seen such a situation in reality.

Don't worry, with Song Lusheng and the others around, there will be no problem!

Chu Huan spoke calmly.

Li Xiaolong could only nod his head.

Soon, Qin Peng said that he couldn't see the car behind them that had been following them.

The car of Song Lusheng and others also followed at this time.

Apparently solved the problem.

Brother Long, you should be more careful when you stay in North America! Chu Huan said to Li Xiaolong while sitting in the car.

Li Xiaolong said helplessly: If it's not for making money, I really don't understand why so many people like to come here!

After hearing this, Chu Huan chuckled, not only Li Xiaolong didn't understand, but Chu Huan didn't understand either!

By the way, A Huan, I think it's better to go to the police station and tell the matter just now, otherwise the follow-up will be more troublesome!

Li Xiaolong reminded Chu Huandao.

Chu Huan also thought the same in his heart. After all, this is not his home field. Although it is okay to make a big fuss, it is not necessary. Is there a cash machine? It is not a problem to be more tolerant.

After sending Li Xiaolong home, Chu Huan called Kelly and asked her to find a lawyer to handle the matter.

The next morning!

Kaili called Chu Huan and said that the matter had been dealt with, and it had already been dealt with without Song Lusheng and others going to the police station.

During this period, not only the Xiangjiang police were dishonest, but also the police in North America were dishonest.

At the same time, the police who arrived at the scene yesterday also found the gun and DP in the car, so naturally there was no problem.

And the other party's identity, Chu Huan, also knew from Kaili's mouth, it was Jackson, the owner of the flash movie industry that he met in the arena last night.

Independent filmmakers don't have a lot of money!

Chu Huan told Song Lusheng and the others about the outcome of the matter, and Song Lusheng and the others smiled and said that they just bumped into each other yesterday at the right time, and they didn't make a move!

Chu Huan chuckled.

Chu Huan didn't leave the hotel all day today, not because he was worried about Jackson's revenge, but after experiencing this incident, Chu Huan didn't have a good impression of this country.

In the evening, Chu Huan and Kelly attended Ellen Hirschfeld's dinner party in full dress.

As the president of 20th Century Fox, his dinner party is naturally full of Hollywood celebrities.

When Chu Huan and Kelly entered the venue, they saw Li Xiaolong surrounded by a group of people. Standing beside Li Xiaolong, Zou Wenhuai had a red face. At this time, he played the role of a courtesan.

Chu Huan glanced at them, but he didn't know those people. It was Kaili who reminded Chu Huan beside Chu Huan that these people were Hollywood actors.

Since you haven't heard the name, it's not very famous.

However, in other circles, Chu Huan still saw a somewhat familiar figure.

Sean Connery!

Sean Connery was already famous in the 1950s, and later became famous in Hollywood by playing 007 in the first 007 movie Dr. 007 Connaught!

However, Chu Huan has never seen this movie. His impression of Sean Connery only stays in two movies, one is with Nicholas Zhao Si. No, it should be Into the Deadly Island co-starred by Nicolas Cage , and another one is Raiders of the Lost Ark 3 starring Harrison Ford.

Thinking of Raiders of the Lost Ark 3, Chu Huan thought that this series is also the best-selling movie series in North America, and in the future, Jiaku Consulting Company can pay attention to this project.

However, it seems to remember that this movie has some relationship with Spielberg and George Lucas. Now one of these two people is the contracted director of Vertex Pictures, and the other is the cooperative company of Vertex Pictures.

Thinking about it, there should be a great possibility that this series will fall on the head of Vertex Pictures.

What are you thinking about? Kelly asked Chu Huan lightly at this moment.

Nothing! Chu Huan replied with a smile.

When the two entered the ballroom, they immediately attracted the attention of many people. If Li Xiaolong attracted the attention of those Hollywood actors, then Chu Huan and Kelly attracted the attention of other Hollywood studio executives.

Although in the end Chu Huan sold his investment share in Dragon Warrior to 20th Century Fox, leaving other film studios in vain.

But Chu Huan unexpectedly bought 20th Century Fox's package Star Wars, which immediately aroused the interest of many film studios.

In the eyes of these people, Chu Huan and Kelly are really being taken advantage of!

That company didn't have the burden of one or two films, and now that the big boss appeared, they naturally went up to talk immediately, hoping to get Chu Huan or Vertex Pictures to accept it.

This is not the first time a Hollywood film company has done this, and naturally it cannot be the last time. In another time and space, after Zou Wenhuai used Cheng Long's prestige to rejuvenate Golden Harvest, he immediately launched another attack on Hollywood. .

But at that time, although he launched Cheng Long, he wanted to participate in Hollywood productions more, so he came to Hollywood waving a check.

Although he has invested in a lot of movies, except for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the others are all low-income investments.

To put it simply, Hollywood film studios, with Zou Wenhuai's banknotes, experimented with a batch of projects that they could not determine!

I feel like they're taking us for a ride!

After dealing with a group of people, Kelly helplessly preached to Chu Huan.

Chu Huan smiled indifferently and said, Who is the one who has been taken advantage of, we still have to wait until the movie is released to find out!

Kelly said helplessly: I've already talked to George. According to his current progress, it will take at least two or three years before Star Wars is released!

Chu Huan laughed, and said, You can focus on the project of Jaws. As long as the first film of Vertex Pictures is successful, no one will underestimate Vertex Pictures.

Kelly looked at Chu Huan and asked, What about you?

Chu Huan smiled lightly, I'm not in Hollywood, so I don't care what they think!

Kelly smiled.

At this time, after finally dealing with those second- and third-tier actors in Hollywood, Li Xiaolong came to Chu Huan's side.

A Huan, why don't you stay for a few more days, why go back tomorrow?

Chu Huan has already decided to return to Xiangjiang tomorrow.

The matter here has been resolved, but the matter of the Anti-Dou Toy City in Xiangjiang has not been resolved yet!

I still think it's more comfortable to go back to Xiangjiang! Chu Huan said with a smile.

Li Xiaolong dragged Chu Huan aside and said softly, When we go back, can Ding Pei join the black and white video?

Also, the next chapter is at eight in the morning~~
