Chapter 528: A lot of indiscriminate refills
Wang Wanzhong is a person who does not admit defeat. When she arrived at the reception site, she wanted to have a good talk with Yang Meng again, but she miscalculated one thing: Yang Meng really didn't come to the 'Hong Pavilion' today to participate in the reception, but to eat!
"Brother, is this Grandpa Hong's gift to you?" Yang Xiaojing earned a long time around the motorcycle: "It's so beautiful!"
Yang Meng smiled: "Pretty is secondary, what do you see here?" he pointed to the signature on the motorcycle.
Ben Affleck, Uma Thurman, Catherine Morris, Aaron Eckhart, John Wooγγγγγγ I know, this is the motorcycle in "Memory Rift"!" Yang Xiaojing said: "I've seen this movie!"
Yang Meng snapped his fingers: "BINGO." The answer is correct, but there is no prize! Mr. Hong, I like this gift very much. β
The most famous Han directors in Hollywood, one is Ang Lee, the other is John Woo,
And Ang Lee is a typical 'New York School director', that is, the so-called academic director. They are anti-Hollywood. pays attention to art, only occasionally makes films for Hollywood, or 'exchange' films, that is, the film company finds him: you make a commercial film for me, and I will invest in you to make an art film. Most of the directors of the New York School worked with Hollywood in this way.
Because of this, Ang Lee filmed the infamous literary fan "The Incredible Hulk", and also won the Oscar for Best Director twice.
And John Woo is a 'success' on another level in the eyes of Hollywood, he is a Chinese director who specializes in making commercial films and succeeds, and people use the box office to speak. Like his original "Mission Impossible 2", it is still the top 15 box office in Hollywood history! During that period, John Woo made commercial films, and every movie had to have two first-line male movie stars to participate!
This is also related to the fact that John Woo has been making Hong Kong films----- characteristics of Hong Kong films: women are not important, brothers are important!
At the height of John Woo's fame, he was unstoppable in Hollywood commercial films----- including local Hollywood directors.
Anyone who has been to Los Angeles knows that there is an Avenue of Fame in Los Angeles, in which stars will leave their handprints there, and those who leave handprints in the core of the Avenue of Stars are first-line star directors, and there are not many people who can leave handprints there, and there are even fewer who can leave handprints, and there is only one Wu Yusen who can leave his hands and footprints, and he occupies the largest area, and he still writes his name in Chinese.
Of course, he doesn't mention it nowγγγγγγ
Regardless, the motorcycle is truly memorable: it was a prop in his last Hollywood film.
Hong Haoyu said: "I'm old and don't understand these things at all, it's all my son's deal." β
The meaning of what he said was actually very simple, after all, Hong Hao's sin Yang Meng is now a good opportunity to get closer.
Hong Hao said: "Doctor Yang, I know you like motorcycles, and it just so happens that I have a little relationship with the film and television industry, so I want to get you a motorcycle with commemorative value." But it wasn't really my goal in the first place. My goal is the two parts of Batman - The Dark Knight. One is the Augusta F4, as far as I know, you are now a shareholder of Augusta, and it doesn't make sense for you to get this car, and the other is the 'Batmobile' that Batman rides, but unfortunately the car has been auctioned, and I don't know who the buyer is, so I can't buy it. And this car is in Ben-Ah
In Fleck's hands, I had a good personal relationship with him, so I got this car. β
He said it lightly, but the young people in the room were dumbfounded.
"Ben Affleck?Hollywood superstar?do you know him?" asked Yang Xiaojing.
Hong Hao nodded: "Well, basically Hollywood stars can be contacted." β
Chen Haijun said on the side: "Hong Shaoγγγγγγγ Boss Hong has done a lot in film and television investment, and he is just a little bit of a fight compared to me. β
After he said this, the audience was in an uproar, especially Li Xiaoqing's female classmates, who looked at Hong Hao's eyes and changed.
Hong Hao explained: "Basically, a quarter of Hollywood blockbusters are now invested by Han investors. I'm just one of them. In fact, it should be better to invest in domestic films to make a profit now. However, last year's investment in "Fast and Furious: Special Ops" and "Avengers 4" performed well. β
Yang Meng laughed: "How can the box office of the film you invested in be described by the word 'good'?
As a result, Hong Hao shook his head: "I don't know anything about movies. β
"Huh?" Yang Meng was stunned.
Hong Hao explained: "There are two ways to invest in Hollywood films, one is 'co-production', the proportion of Han investors cannot be less than one-third, there must be Han actors to play the main role, and there must be Han people to learn from the Han country, but what are the things that are filmed? You can understand it as a kind of gambling: I earn when the movie earns, and I lose when the movie loses. β
Yang Meng whistled: "Rich people really know how to playγγγγγγ Wait, you say you can get that motorcycle from Batman: The Dark Knight, and you can ride that bike too?"
Almost every movie in the "Batman" series has a "Batmobile" or "Batmobile", but the most handsome one is undoubtedly the one in "The Dark Knight", with two big wheels in the front and back, and the whole person almost has to lie on it to ride, which is absolutely "crazy and cool"! Especially the part where "Catwoman" rides this motorcycle I don't know how many men's hormones are stimulated.
Hong Hao said: "That car can indeed be ridden, and it was designed by the film director Nolan and the designer Crowley. But the car was auctioned off in non-functional condition a few years ago, and I couldn't find the buyer for the time. β
"What do you mean by 'non-functional state'?" Yang Meng asked puzzled.
"It's to remove the battery, fuel tank and throttle control system inside, to put it bluntly, you can only see it, you can't ride it. Hong Hao explained: "In this way, it was also auctioned at a sky-high price of 230,000 pounds that year. β
Yang Meng said speechlessly: "You can only see it, you can't ride it? What's the meaning of that? Then it's not as good as this car." β
"You're also riding this car for it?" Hong Hao was surprised when he heard this.
Yang Meng nodded and said, "How can there be any value in the existence of a motorcycle if you don't ride it? Oh, you said that the signature on it? I just don't ride it on a rainy day! Well, I will also put a layer of adhesive tape on Uma Thurman's signature to make it waterproof." β
"Why Uma Thurman?" asked Hong Hao, puzzled.
Yang Meng just wanted to answer, but when he saw Yang Xiaojing on the side, he quickly changed the topic: "Alas, it's a pity that the batmobile, if I can ride it, I have to get one to ride and play." β
After hearing this, Hong Hao said: "Mr. Yang, if you really just for."
It's a lot easier to ride that bike. I can get it for you. β
"Huh?" Yang Meng was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Hong Hao explained with a smile: "The copyright of this car is in Warner Bros., I just need to contact them to buy one." I can guarantee that it is exactly the same as the one in the movie, but after all, it is not a prop in the movie, and it has no commemorative value. β
"I just want it to ride!" Yang Meng said: "How much money does it need?"
Hong Hao smiled: "If it's just ordered, it won't cost much money." And I don't know how much, I need to talk to Warner Bros. about it. I'll just get the money out!"
Yang Meng shook his head and said, "I am grateful that you can help me get this car, how can I still let you pay?"
Hong Yuqing spoke at this time: "Doctor Yang, what my son said is right, he doesn't count how much money is needed, so let's get your car first." β
Yang Meng heard this and said, "Okay, then that's it!"
They are not fools, the meaning of Hong Yuqing's words is very clear: It doesn't matter if the money is not money, we just need to maintain a good relationship! This is the same as Zhang Cuijian owes Yang Meng money but does not pay it back from other places to make up for it. It's just that the positions are a bit reversed, and Yang Meng is now standing in Zhang Cuijian's position.
It's also a way to increase your network.
He doesn't care about these ineffective social interactions, but who made him not usually stay in the Northern Capital? His sister and many friends are here, although he has a very good relationship with the Liu family, but he can't find the Liu family for everything, right?
It is said that a man's maturity begins with becoming 'sophisticated', and Yang Meng is a little sleek now.
Thinking of this, he smiled and asked Chen Haijun: "Boss Chen, how are you talking about things?"
Chen Haijun said: "Doctor Yang, thank you for your trouble, my matter is very good. It's all settled!"
Yang Meng smiled: "That's good." Xiaoqing, work hard in the future!"
Li Xiaoqing nodded, but he had an expression of wanting to speak: "Brother Yangγγγγγγ There's a thingγγγγγγ β
"What's the matter, just say it!" Yang Meng said.
Li Xiaoqing said: "My classmates heard that a drinking party is being held here. If you want to see it for a long time, do you think you can?"
Yang Meng smiled after hearing this: "Don't ask me about this, ask Boss Hong, this is what he says." β
Hong Hao thought for a while and replied: "Of course I welcome everyone who wants to go to the cocktail party, after all, it is my honor to have so many young and beautiful beauties and handsome guys go to the cocktail party." But...... At this point, he paused: "Since you are friends with Dr. Yang, I will bring the ugly words to the front. There may be many people who will regard this kind of drinking party as a ladder to success, and feel that they can meet rich and powerful people. But believe me, about seventy percent of the people at this kind of party have the same purpose. Not all of them are rich and rich, so please keep your eyes peeled when you attend the reception. β
Yang Meng asked in a low voice, "Hong Hao, ordinary people can also come here?"
Hong Hao replied in a low voice: "Isn't this how Li Xiaoqing's classmates are? The rich people brought them in for their own face, and those who mixed in were just to get benefits and take what they needed. Dr. Yang, why don't we go over and have a look?"
