"Here they are. Li Zitao was digesting this information, and Elan got up with a smile and greeted Louis, who was walking towards him, "Hey, Luis, how are you doing?"

"Of course, my friend, you look younger than you used to be. Louis laughed loudly and hugged Elan, and then looked at Li Zitao beside him.

"This is Lee, and the idea of the Avenue of Stars was proposed by him. Ellan quietly introduced: "He is my nephew, a very good young man. ”

"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Meyer. Li Zitao smiled and stretched out his hand.

"I'm just as happy, wonderful young man. Louis said with a playful look.

"Douglas, president of the academy, I think you all know him. Louis introduced his companion to him, and his handsome appearance easily won people's favor.

"Robin Hood, it's a pleasure to meet you. Of course Li Zitao knows, Douglas Van Punk, in his previous life, when he was a child, he saw Robin Hood starring the other party and was very impressed.

"Hello, Lee. Mr. Robin Hood responded.

"Please, I've got a reception room prepared, it's not a good place to talk. Li Zitao, as the host, took the lead and walked to the reception room.

"Mr. Meyer, I think Uncle Elan has already said the idea of the stars, so I wonder what the academy has in mind?" the two sides took their seats, and Li Zitao took the lead.

"Lee, I'd like to hear your thoughts. Louis leaned back in his chair with a restrained gaze.

"I will invest 5 million US dollars to establish the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which is responsible for building the Walk of Fame, and 1 star will be selected every month, who may come from various industries.

As long as the nature of his work is related to entertainment, we can all list him as a candidate, and of course, it is up to the Academy to decide who the winner is. ”

He has no intention of competing with the academy for power, he just wants to have a certain influence in Hollywood, as long as the academy recognizes the Starlight Award, then he is no longer without foundation in Hollywood.

"Why don't you set up a chamber of commerce with the academy, and then you will fund it, and we will jointly manage and operate it?"

When he heard that Li Zitao planned to invest 5 million, Luis's eyes lit up obviously.

"Then may I ask Mr. Meyer, how much money can the academy come up with?" Li Zitao's eyes flashed a hint of gloom, and he leaned back quietly.

"The influence of the academy is the greatest value, Lee, isn't it?" Louis smiled brightly.

"Luis, we can all see the potential of the academy, but it's not worth that much right now. Elan interjected with a frown.

"Elan, isn't it enough that the Academy's influence and potential will grow quickly, and it will redefine Hollywood?" retorted Louis.

Looking at Luis, who was flamboyant and his eyes were full of aggressiveness like a poisonous wolf, Li Zitao knew that there was no need to talk about it anymore.

"I need to think about it, Mr. Meyer. He ordered the two to be evicted.

When Louis Mayer and Robin Hood left, Li Zitao sat in the chair and did not get up to see each other, which means that the conversation between the two sides ended unhappily.

"Mahathir, register a patent for the Avenue of Stars, and any ground facilities with commemorations and medals must be included.

Names with similar meanings such as Hollywood are also squatting, don't care about money, know that for your boss, the last thing is money, I need time. ”

Mahathir has always been by his side, and when Li Zitao explained the Avenue of Stars to Elan, he also remembered it in his heart, and naturally knew what to pay attention to.

"I'm going to call right now. Mahathir said as he walked over to the phone and dialed the number of the Chicago think tank.

"Luis became too arrogant. Elan looked at him apologetically and said, "Charlie, if Louis wants to steal your ideas, I will use all my power to stop him." ”

"Uncle Elan, don't blame yourself, after all, in this world, not everyone is called Rockefeller. Li Zitao quietly sent a sycophant.

It can be seen that Elan is very useful, he admires old John deeply in his heart, and has always been proud of the glory of Rockefeller.

Keeping promises and supporting philanthropy are two of the things the Rockefellers are most proud of, or at least that's what they think.

"BOSS, Ben has already sent someone to deal with it. "Mahathir is back.

"Well, I need you to stay here and do a few things, set up the Starlight Awards, form the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, and meet with our honorary mayor to get him to support the establishment of the Starlight Awards,

Contact the Guild of Actors, Directors, and Editors, Hollywood needs more voices and options, and tell them that I'm willing to fund Hollywood's public facilities. ”

Lao Tzu doesn't believe that without Zhang Butcher, he can only eat hairy pigs, the college has only been established for 2 years, and the first academy award has just been held, who said that you can't start from scratch?

Li Zitao hated Louis's gaze, the kind of greed that he wanted to take the world for himself, made him feel disgusted from the bottom of his heart.

"By the way, spread the news, the Starlight Award is a lifelong honor, and the Chamber of Commerce will invest 10 million US dollars to form a foundation, which is responsible for independent operation and special maintenance of the existence of the Starlight Award. ”

After listening to Li Zitao's instructions, Mahathir did not leave immediately, but instead suggested: "BOSS, in that case, why don't we set up a brand new academy?"

Mahathir's suggestion stunned him, but then ecstasy, "yes, why can't I start a brand new academy, how about Oscar?"

Li Zitao was stunned by his own thoughts, that was Oscar!

"As long as people believe that it is fair and just, and that it is not mixed with interests, who can say that it is impossible?" said Mahathir with a smile.

"Oscar, how about a pure gold trophy?" In the previous life, the material of the little gold man was always complained about, and the gold plating at the beginning was fine, and then it was directly painted with a layer of paint.

Some of the winners' little golden figures have always changed color due to oxidation after a long time, and finally have to find someone to repair it, you say embarrassing is not embarrassing.

"Well, that might need to be handed over, but we can influence it from the shadows through the Chamber of Commerce and the Foundation, and that's not hard to do. ”

As the chief lawyer of the think tank, Mahathir does not feel that there is anything difficult to do, the influence of capital is everywhere, who can say that the academy is really fair and just?

"That's it, the Academy Awards, the image is a little golden man with a blurred face, holding the torch high, representing honor and freedom,

Best Picture, Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Performance, Best Cinematography, Best Art, Best Music, Best Editing, Best Costume Design, Best Makeup, Best Short Film, Best Documentary, Best Exterior Chinese Film. ”

"And so on, and then set up the Liberal Honor Award, the Special Achievement Award, etc., we want to make the Oscar trophy more meaningful, give it a lofty idea and status. ”

"Bowl Theater, the acquisition of Bowl Theater, to create the most luxurious and influential Oscar-star theater in Hollywood, which will become a star-studded and desirable temple. ”

Li Zitao seemed to open a brainstorm, watching the two of them discuss how to overturn the academy word by word, and Elan was stunned when he listened to it.

"Charlie, is it just a small award, does it require such a big investment?" asked Elan, frowning, in his opinion, such a huge investment was not worth it.

"Uncle Elan, I am a humble man, and when someone is arrogant in front of me, I will tell him with facts (money) what it means to be humble. ”

Li Zitao's unashamed words listened to Elan's laughter, and could only sigh in his heart, "Am I too old to keep up with the rhythm of young people's thinking." ”

"BOSS, I'll do it now. Once the plan was finalized, Mahathir hurried away with his team.

Li Zitao has explained a lot of things, such as theaters, chambers of commerce, foundations, the establishment of awards, and the support of many guilds and governments.

He intends to use all his strength to teach Louis a profound lesson, so that he clearly understands what the anger of the salted fish is.

That night, Mahathir sent people to register with the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, the Starlight Foundation, and the Academy Awards, and asked his subordinates to choose a suitable office location.

Then he drove to Los Angeles overnight to contact the governor, senators, and mayors, and donated 5 million to public facilities and 10 million to maintain the foundation, which is a big political achievement, and there is also the Walk of Fame, which can go down in history.

In the future, Hollywood will develop better, and the more attention the Walk of Fame will be, the more people will mention their names, and there are not many opportunities to be remembered.

Moreover, although there are not many residents of Hollywood, the influence of celebrities is huge, and they can rally more fans to vote for a politician they 'love'.

So when the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce was established on Sunset Avenue the next day, in addition to Li Zitao personally attending the opening ceremony, there were also California Governor Fulence Edward, Los Angeles Mayor Carl Maderson, and California Senior Senator Claura Desland.

Of course, our honorary mayor of Hollywood, Galio Tratford.

"The Academy Awards will use trophies made of pure gold to bestow the honors the winners deserve...... Of course, these trophies are not allowed to be sold.

The reason why we want to use pure gold is not only to consider the value of the trophy, but to allow the winners to retain this honor and commemorative ...... for a long time."

On the same day, the major media reported on it, and the photo of Li Zitao and Galio standing side by side, clasping their hands and smiling brightly, occupied one-third of the page.

In MGM's office, Louis Meyer slammed his hand holding the newspaper on the table and roared fiercely: "Damn bastard, this is a provocation to the Academy, he is provoking a war, they are insulting the film with dirty money, insulting the art." ”

"But I have to say, he's really rich. Robin Hood on the other side shrugged helplessly.

"Tell our people that they are not allowed to come into contact with them or they will be removed from the Academy. Louis said viciously.

"Louis, it's useless, they have already said that several major guilds are being negotiated, the members of the jury are being negotiated, the first Academy Awards, which will open on February 1 next year,

Best Film, Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Acting, Best Cinematography, Best Art, Best Music, Best Editing, Best Costume Design, Best Makeup, Best Short Film, Best Documentary, Best Foreign Chinese Film, Own Honorable Mention, Special Achievement Award. ”

After saying all the awards in one go, Van Punk gasped, "Oh my God! I'm about to suffocate, they have enough awards." ”

Compared with the Academy Awards, which only have Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, and Best Art Design, the Oscars are too diverse.

Even with the addition of two special awards: the Artistic Quality Award and the Technical Effect Award, in terms of quantity alone, the Oscars still beat the Academy Awards in terms of professionalism.

"FK, Douglas, don't forget who is your allegiance, I made you, and I can ruin you. A roar of rage came from the office, and the staff outside hurriedly lowered their heads and ran away from the battlefield in small steps.
