Of course, Li Shangshan is not going to have fun, he was invited by Lu Tengfeng to meet a strange person in the entertainment industry, an internationally renowned director and entrepreneur, he is Howard Hughes. Howard is an American, and his life story is legendary. It can be said that his life is no less wonderful than any novel.

His mother died when he was a teenager, and he participated in World War II when he was young, and I heard that he was still a reinforcement on the Chinese battlefield. Later, he relied on his shrewd mind and extraordinary talent to enter the entertainment industry, and he was also the first billionaire in the United States. In order to make an air combat movie, he even designed the fastest aircraft at that time, and the Zero fighter of the island country in World War II was borrowed from his design. His space company took over the manufacture of airplanes and space vehicles in the United States after World War II, and the first artificial earth satellite was also his company's masterpiece.

With his amazing business talent, Howard amassed a huge fortune, no one knows how rich he was, and like most invisible rich people, he faded into obscurity as he grew older, but his influence in Hollywood was amazing.

Recently, Howard doesn't know what's going on, he has changed his previous silence and started to invest frantically in China, and now he is itching to invest in films in China. After Lu Wenyuan found out, he took into account Li Shangshan's request, so he asked his son Lu Tengfeng to introduce him on his behalf. But Lu Wenyuan also reminded in advance that even if he was involved, there was no guarantee of success, and the specific situation depended on the outcome of the negotiation between the two.

When Li Shangshan came to the hotel box that Lu Tengfeng told him, he opened the door and went in only to see an old man with a sword eyebrow and a square face and a hooked nose sitting opposite Lu Tengfeng, and the old man was followed by two entourages, a man and a woman. Although the old man's beard and hair were white, his eyes were cloudy and shining, and when he saw Li Shangshan come in, he glanced at Li Shangshan with a non-angry and arrogant gaze, and then faintly restrained his essence.

From Lu Tengfeng's mouth, Li Shangshan knew that the person in front of him should be Howard, and even knew that he was over ninety. There are still such spiritual heads in his nineties, which has to make Li Shangshan admire this person's energy, and the people who do big things secretly are indeed different. Ordinary people only think that they have a lot of wealth, but they don't know that the more accomplished people are, the more monotonous their lives are, just as the so-called people can't help themselves in high positions, and their daily life is actually much more boring than ordinary people.

"Mr. Li, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Howard. Mr. Howard, this is Mr. Li Shangshan Li that I mentioned to you. ”

Lu Tengfeng saw that Howard obviously didn't care about Li Shangshan, so he hurriedly broke the dull introduction.

"Hello Mr. Howard, my name is Li Shangshan, and I hope that our cooperation can be successfully reached. ”

Li Shangshan was the first to walk up to Howard and reach out to shake Howard's hand, he used Chinese because he knew that the old gentleman could speak Chinese. He is still full of affection for this World War II veteran, who knows that after Li Shangshan stretched out his hand, Howard just glanced at it but did not stretch out his hand, but said a few words to the female secretary standing on the side

When the female secretary heard this, she apologized and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Li, Mr. Howard refuses to contact other people because of his cleanliness and bacteriophobia, and he doesn't even want to hug his grandchildren at home." ”

Li Shangshan was stunned for a moment, and then he was relieved. He knows about bacteriophobia, which is a stress psychosis mostly caused by people who have been suffering from diseases for a long time. People with this disease have an aversion to contact with strangers and the outside world, and they feel a bit depressed, and there may be reasons why Howard has faded out of the public eye and hidden behind the scenes in recent years.

"Oh, I see. Mr. Howard, I believe that Director Lu also told you about Hongrun, I don't know what you think about this cooperation?"

Li Shangshan brushed over the handshake and went straight to the point.

When Howard heard this, he looked at Li Shangshan, raised his thick eyebrows without a trace, and then said without a trace of emotion: "Director Lu did mention it to me, to be honest, I don't know much about Hongrun." Originally, I wanted to find some first-line stars to work with, but I also knew the truth of following the local customs. I will give Director Lu's face, but I will only cooperate with you Hongrun this time, and your film cannot enter the American market, this is my bottom line, after all, I have to consider the reputation of my company. ”

Li Shangshan's face turned unpleasant when he heard this, and he dared to love this old man purely as if he was going through the back door, although he did have the suspicion of going through the back door, but he still felt a little embarrassed to be said by someone who had no scruples about it. He looked at the old man and found that the old man was looking at him with awe-inspiring eyes, and then he realized that the old man had reached the age of entering the earth, and he also looked down on the rules of the city. The most important thing for him should be his reputation after death, if he makes a bad movie before he dies, he must be unacceptable to a face-loving person.

In fact, if he wants to find a director to cooperate, so that the Lu family can match, there will be a lot of well-known directors to ask for. But Li Shangshan is a stubborn person, he insists that he can't compromise on doing things, and he can find the best if he wants to find it. In addition to Howard's film and television company's international popularity, what he values most is Howard's influence. Because half of the films nominated for the Oscar are produced by Howard Films, in addition to the quality of the film, Howard's own pivotal position in the international film and television industry is also the reason why he chose to work with Howard.

Since he intervened, it would be a blockbuster to let Leng Qianqian not sing. The idea in his heart is actually even more amazing, that is, to let Howard, who is already in his nineties, personally make this movie with Hongrun. As long as this gimmick comes out, it is difficult to think about it without being popular with this shareholder. And an important reason that prompted him to make this decision was that he noticed that as his state of mind broke through his cultivation, there was already a faint tendency to soar, and even if he suppressed his cultivation with all his might, he probably wouldn't be able to delay it for too long.

Thinking of this, he stared at Howard and said word by word: "Mr. Howard, I think you are mistaken, I am not here to ask you to cooperate, but to cooperate with you on an equal footing with the idea of a partner." And if you want to work with me, one of the most important conditions is that you will direct the play yourself. ”

"Young man, are you crazy, directed by me myself, do you know what it means, I really don't know why you boast about Haikou?

The corners of Howard's mouth twitched angrily when he heard this, but as soon as he finished speaking, his body gasped violently uncontrollably, and the female secretary on the side of the panic hurriedly went to get the special medicine from her bag. Howard, on the other hand, coughed more and more, and his thin arms covered his coughing mouth with a painful look.

"You ask me why, that's it!"

Li Shangshan didn't hide it, and when he saw Howard asking, he took out a porcelain bottle containing Jade Huan Dan from his arms and put it on the table, and then pulled out the stopper on the porcelain bottle. As soon as the stopper was removed, the refreshing medicinal fragrance spread to everyone's mouths and noses. When Howard smelled it, he stared at the porcelain vase on the table with round eyes. Because he suddenly found that with the inhalation of the medicinal incense, his violent cough and the breath-holding symptoms in his chest disappeared in an instant. What shocked him even more was that the medicinal fragrance in front of him evoked a scene that he had hidden deep in his memory, and gradually the two scenes began to merge.

"Mr. Howard, your medicine. ”

The female secretary finally found Howard's special effect medicine at this time, she took out two special medicine pills from a special bottle and put them in the paper bag that had been prepared, and handed them to Howard.

"Linda, I'm feeling better, let's put away these pills. ”

Howard glanced at the medicine in the paper bag in disgust, and frowned slightly in decline. Apparently there are many bad impressions of this medicine. In fact, this special drug was specially developed by Howard's pharmaceutical company for his disease, although it can indeed relieve his symptoms, but the side effects are extremely large, and every time he eats it, he will have a headache and nausea for a long time. It is also a great damage to the body, and it belongs to the type of drinking water to quench thirst, which is also what the doctor who developed this drug said. So Howard can not eat without eating.

"But sir••••••"

The female secretary was a little hesitant when she heard this, but after carefully observing Howard's illness, her eyes were shocked and her eyes were full of shock. As Howard's personal secretary, she knew the severity of Howard's illness, otherwise the group would not have developed a special drug for him.

Howard is already in his nineties, and although he pays attention to maintenance on weekdays, at this age, even if he pays attention to birth, he is constantly suffering from serious illnesses and minor illnesses. As far as he knows, in addition to many chronic diseases such as asthma, high blood pressure, diabetes, Howard, most of his stomach was removed because of stomach cancer a few years ago, and it is precisely because of so many diseases that he suffers from mental diseases such as bacterial phobia.

Howard didn't care about the female secretary's surprise, his whole mind was now on the two porcelain vases on the table, his eyes staring at the milky white porcelain vases, as if his face was overflowing with excitement when he returned to the light. After a moment, he muttered excitedly: "I didn't expect that I, Howard, would be able to see this miracle medicine in my lifetime, is this a gift from God?"

Li Shangshan was shocked when he heard this, and then asked, "Mr. Howard, do you mean that you have ever seen this medicine?"

"I've just smelled it, but the smell is not as strong as this pill, and the effect is not as magical. Mr. Li, I have a reluctance, please tell me the information of the person who refines this medicine, and you can mention the conditions as you like!"

When Howard heard this, a look of remembrance appeared in his eyes, and he said solemnly. As soon as these words came out, the female secretary and the man in black behind Howard all looked at Li Shangshan in disbelief, and then their eyes showed a strong look of admiration. Lu Tengfeng also had a look of envy on his face, but after thinking of Li Shangshan's identity, he was relieved, what is fame and wealth to the omnipotent immortals.

"It doesn't hurt to tell you, I just want to know what happened to you. But you have to promise to keep it a secret for me, this medicine was refined by me myself. ”

Li Shangshan smiled, sighed and explained. I already knew in my heart that the cooperation was done.
