Chapter 426: A Hit and a Hit (Second Update)
When Lin Zitan came back from China, it was already the end of June, and the scorching summer was also the time for the children to have summer vacation.
In mid-July, Zhang Jing took Alice and the two young masters, and really came to the United States for the summer vacation as promised, which made the four children very happy.
In order to make time to take the children out to travel, Lin Zitan works overtime until late every day and is still dealing with official business.
That night, Lin Zitan was just about to turn off the computer and go to bed, but he unexpectedly received a call from Frank, saying that the movie they were originally scheduled to release in May was finally pressed to the summer file, and strongly asked Lin Zitan to charter a venue to cheer them on.
"I'm going to take Emma and the kids to see it, do I want to charter it? Wouldn't it be too exaggerated?"
"It costs a lot of money to charter the venue, mainly to help us lift the box office, Yijun's mother also said that the venue is chartered for colleagues and students in the charity to see, you won't be so stingy, right?"
"Okay, I know, it just so happens that my friend brought the child from the mainland to spend the summer vacation, I'll take them to see it, oh, by the way, it's the same Zhang Jing who had dinner with him before, if he is satisfied, maybe he can invest in you!" Lin Zitan said with a smile.
"I don't need to invest, if he can directly introduce Yijun into your domestic entertainment industry, it is estimated that it will make Yijun's acting career to a higher level!
But this thing is not forced, anyway, if Yijun likes me, let her play casually, if she really has talent and talent, she will definitely be discovered, and it is a matter of time before she becomes famous!" Frank seems to be confident in his vision.
Thinking that Zhang Jing's family was also there, it would not be impossible for the two families to book a movie theater to watch it at that time, so he hurriedly agreed.
"That's interesting enough, anyway, you can buy tickets and call your Chinese friends, the theme of this movie is very good, you will definitely like it, and it depicts almost some of the real states of you Chinese in the United States.
When the time comes, we will be on fire, and your instant noodle shop will follow suit, haha~" After Frank finished speaking, he hung up the phone with a smile without waiting for Lin Zi to refuse his kindness.
Lin Zitan didn't care if he was naked, but when it came to the real state of Chinese in the United States, it aroused Lin Zitan's interest.
What state did he think? Zhuang Yijun couldn't have been used by Frank, right? If he remembered correctly, this guy was originally a white supremacist, could it be that he changed sex because he met Lin Yijun?
Lin Zitan entered the title of the movie that Frank told him into the browser with trepidation, and the promotional stills and introduction of the film, the official release time, the type of film, and the director's introduction all came into his eyes.
The title of the film is "American Gold Digger", which tells the story of some expatriates who immigrated to the United States from other countries and struggled to live in the United States.
Since 2018, an all-Asian Hollywood blockbuster "Crazy Asian Rich", many old American producers or directors have tried to dig up some insider information about Asians' wealth or shake some Asians' black material abroad.
It's a pity that those speculators, as before, are not really trying to create works based on the real life of Asians, and many of them are just using the gimmick of Asian faces to earn the box office of Asian people!
When picking a weekend, Lin Zitan really booked a place at a not-so-busy movie theater near Long Island and took the two families to watch the movie together.
Although the children don't like this kind of theme, because it is starring someone they know, the nearly two-hour film, except for the three small ones who asked for a few meals and drinks in the middle, everyone was very involved in watching it.
In fact, Frank's film is not particularly different from the works that Lao Mei has invested in before, but it does use many shots to capture the living conditions of Chinese immigrants in the United States.
In the eyes of foreigners, there may be a little bit of discrimination against other ethnic groups, especially Chinese people engaged in various manual industries, such as restaurants, massage parlors and other types of work, but the whole film is still somewhat touched in the eyes of many Chinese people.
Especially the people who are living in dire straits, as if they have found their final ending in the film, a little sad, and a little helpless!
"I think Zhuang Yijun's performance in this film is not bad, although most of them are played in her true colors, but she is indeed very spiritual and very suitable for being an actor. ”
When he came out of the cinema, Zhang Jing couldn't help but comment with a professional eye.
"I also think the performance is very good, especially since she has no acting background at all, this kind of performance is really amazing!" Emma also said with great certainty.
"I didn't expect this girl to have such talent, I hope she chooses the path she really likes!" Lin Zitan shrugged his shoulders and said.
What they didn't expect was that Zhuang Yijun's performance did get her a lot of applause, and she was shortlisted for many newcomer awards at international film festivals.
Even many domestic directors are asking which art academy this girl came from, and many people think that Zhuang Yijun was born in the United States to specialize in acting.
Later, it was found out that she was only a graduate student majoring in accounting before, which brightened the eyes of many curiosity seekers.
------------------------------
While Lin Zitan was busy consolidating other businesses, Emma was also working with Ivani to save the 50 boutiques.
Luxury stores, which were originally hit hard by the epidemic, are now filled up by the influx of Chinese tycoons due to the easing of Sino-US relations, and their sales have increased significantly every month.
Their self-created brand has slowly gained some fame because of the careful promotion of instant noodle shops, and a light luxury brand that meets the aesthetics of the young public, and is moderately priced, unique in shape, and constantly creative is slowly emerging in some stores in Midtown New York.
Lin Zitan asked Chu Feng and their office to do a special discussion, carefully packaged and promoted this brand, and the originally unknown small brand turned out to be like MK and Koufu, and suddenly became popular all over the world.
For this purpose, Emma and Ivani held a small celebration party.
At the banquet, Lin Zitan invited all the friends and business partners she could invite, and Emma also informed several of her cousins, but she didn't expect this exquisite banquet to make their brand even more popular.
Louis was transferred to the West Coast by his father some time ago to develop an investment business, and this time he also flew back with his wife.
Emma's two aunts, who only appear at the year-end dinner all year round, also came, not as jeweled as usual, and even wore Emma's brand products in a special way, although this age seems a little different, but it looks much more lively.
"Aunty is coming~"
As soon as Emma saw them, she pulled Lin Zitan over and gave them a big hug.
"I've said you're as spiritual as your mother, and I really like these things!" Eddie's mother complimented.
"Thank you for your support and affirmation," Emma said sheepishly.
"By the way, Frank is coming in a while, I gave him a set of things you designed, his wife has been quite popular recently, just let her give you a free endorsement. ”
Frank's mother leaned over Emma and whispered.
"Oh, that's embarrassing~" Emma said with a smile.
"It's all a family, didn't you help her before?" Frank said that there is a scene in the film that was filmed at your instant noodle shop!"
As he spoke, there was a sudden noise at the door of the banquet hall.
Emma and Lin Zitan walked over to look together, only to find that it was Zhuang Yijun and Frank, who were surrounded by long guns and short cannons.
