Chapter 1701: Lifting the Ban
1701
It didn't take long for some of Cotter's information to be found out by Guo Yunpeng.
"Kurt's daughter, is BeyoncΓ©?" asked Xu Taiping.
"Yes!" Guo Yunpeng nodded.
"No wonder Kurt is targeting me, I dared to offend his daughter yesterday. Xu Taiping said helplessly.
"You offended his daughter?" Guo Yunpeng asked in surprise, "What's the situation?"
"A little thing!" Xu Taiping shook his head, and then said, "Although our situation is not very good now, we can't sit still, Yun Peng, what about you, go to those friends of yours, preferably from the Chinese circle, to see if you can provide some help, Lawrence, what about you, also go to your friends, see if you can help lobby Kurt, we can give a little benefit appropriately, as long as Kurt is no longer targeting us." β
"I don't have many friends, but I can help you talk about it. Lawrence said.
"I'll try my best!" Guo Yunpeng said.
"That's okay, let's withdraw first!" Xu Taiping said.
"What about here?" Guo Yunpeng pointed to the villa, tonight's party, they spent millions of dollars, but they didn't expect it to start at all.
"Do you want to try the women? If you want to try, then I don't have a problem. Xu Taiping said with a smile.
"Forget it, my brother-in-law is still in the United States! Let's go, I should feed the dogs." Guo Yunpeng said, walking out.
Xu Taiping and Lawrence also left the villa together.
The million-dollar party went down the drain.
"Master, take my car, and I'll take you back to the hotel. Lawrence said to Xu Taiping.
Seeing Lawrence's appearance, Xu Taiping nodded, then said goodbye to Guo Yunpeng and got on Lawrence's old Mercedes-Benz.
It was Lawrence's assistant who drove the car.
"Hello Mr. Xu!" Lawrence's assistant saw Xu Taiping enter the car and hurriedly greeted Xu Taiping.
"Hello. Xu Taiping smiled and said hello to the other party.
"My assistant is a new recruit, so she didn't know about our relationship when you called last time. Lawrence said.
"It's fine. Xu Taiping shook his head and said with a smile, "Your assistant is better looking than the one last time." β
"It's easier to do things! Lawrence said.
"Yes!" the assistant nodded, then started the car and headed in the direction of the Kelmos Hotel.
"Master... I actually have a suggestion for these things that you are experiencing right now. Lawrence said.
"What suggestions?" asked Xu Taiping.
"Just withdraw from the Hollywood Market, there's no need to struggle anymore, Kurt is a person, I've known him for a long time, and no one can change what he decides, since Kurt has decided to ban your movies here in Hollywood, then your movies are destined to not be released in Hollywood, and if you withdraw now, you can save some costs." Lawrence said.
"What do you think a movie is for me?" asked Xu Taiping.
"This... For you, it's definitely nothing, you're the richest man in China, worth tens of billions of dollars, just a movie, even if it doesn't air, it doesn't make a difference, right?" Lawrence said.
"Indeed!" Xu Taiping nodded with a smile and said, " This movie is nothing to me, just invest hundreds of millions, and it doesn't matter if I lose it, but this movie, for the director, for those actors, is far more important than for me, they worked hard for a year to make such a movie, in order to be able to get a good response in the world, in order to be recognized by everyone, I can actually not come to the house market, but, good house is the temple of movies, if not released here, then how much box office I get in the world, it doesn't mean much, for those film staff, if they don't get the recognition of good house, then they have achieved more other achievements, and it doesn't make much sense, so... No matter what, I must let this movie be released in Hollywood, even if it costs more than the box office, I am willing. β
"If only I could have a boss like you before. Lawrence sighed.
"It's not too late, no, you have a master like me. Xu Taiping patted Lawrence with a smile and said, "Even if we really can't get along in Haolai House in the end, then return to China, if you want to develop in Huaxia, I will smash all the resources I can for you, I can't guarantee that you will be the hottest foreign artist in Huaxia, but I can guarantee that you are definitely the foreign artist who gets the most resources in Huaxia, I won't let you call your master in vain." β
"Thank you, Master. Lawrence said with emotion that the reason why he has been firmly on Xu Taiping's side tonight is that the ultimate goal is actually to get Xu Taiping's support.
He has already mixed up in Haolai House, and being marginalized is irreversible, if Xu Taiping is willing to support him in Huaxia, then he will definitely usher in a second spring.
Lawrence is different from Zhao Xiaohua, he has been recognized by Haolaiwu, but the renewal of Haolaiwu is too fast, and he is eliminated, so even if he is not mixed in Haolaiwu, he doesn't care, the market in Huaxia is also huge, if he can thrive in Huaxia, it is much stronger than being a marginal figure in Haolaiwu.
Lawrence was different from other artists tonight, he put all his bets on Xu Taiping, and in the end, in exchange for Xu Taiping's promise, Lawrence felt that it was still worth it.
The car sent Xu Taiping back to the hotel.
Xu Taiping got out of the car, then waved his hand to Lawrence, and then, Xu Taiping watched Lawrence leave.
For Lawrence, Xu Taiping is actually like a mirror in his heart, there will never be love for no reason in this world, and there will be no hate for no reason.
Although Lawrence is his apprentice, but he is a forced teacher, Xu Taiping doesn't think that Lawrence will be desperate for his good because of such an identity, to put it bluntly, it's all for the sake of profit, so Xu Taiping made that promise in the car, the purpose is to let Lawrence continue to stand firmly on his side.
Although Lawrence is marginalized, as a character who has been in the Hollywood House for decades, he is not sure where he can be used!
Even if there is no place to use it in the end, Xu Taiping will fulfill his promise and invest a lot of resources in Lawrence in Huaxia.
All of this is just a transaction, and it has nothing to do with feelings.
Xu Taiping turned around and walked back to the hotel.
I thought it would be a very easy trip to the house, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this.
Xu Taiping didn't want to make more waves, but since everyone had already started to play banning, Xu Taiping felt that it was necessary for him to do something.
The next day, Xu Taiping left the hotel with Guo Yunpeng and went to the local Chinatown.
Los Angeles has the largest Chinatown on the west coast of the entire country, and in this Chinatown, there is a huge organization.
The name of this organization is called the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
The Chinese Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce established by Chinese people overseas.
The main significance of the earliest Chinese chambers of commerce was to help each other, after all, they were all overseas.
The nature of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is similar to that of the Huayi Association, but the Huayi Association mainly uses Jianghu means to protect the Chinese, while the Chinese Chamber of Commerce mainly helps each other in business.
Because of the relationship between saving Lu Damin before, Xu Taiping already has a lot of fame in the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, so Xu Taiping soon met Jiang Yipan, the president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
After briefly indicating his intentions, Jiang Yipan was silent for a long time, and then said eight words.
"Racial discrimination, presidential elections. β
Noon on the same day.
The Chinese Chamber of Commerce, as well as Xu Taiping's film publicity team, held a press conference at the Kelmos Hotel.
At the press conference, Guo Yunpeng, as the producer of the film, tearfully accused the rice film censorship agency of racial discrimination against the Chinese, and the Chinese film suffered discrimination from the Chinese government department, which did not allow Chinese films to enter the Hollywood market.
Jiang Yipan, president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, said at the press conference that in a free and democratic country like the United States, there should be no such thing as racial discrimination, and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce will do its best to help Guo Yunpeng and them, and strive to let the movie be released in the United States!
This press conference was quickly transmitted to all parts of the country through major media, and because it was labeled as racist, the matter quickly fermented.
In the afternoon of the same day, many anti-racist organizations in the United States came forward to issue statements expressing their support for Xu Taiping and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and these organizations called on all colored people to stand up and help those of other races who were discriminated against by the United States government.
With the issuance of these statements, a large number of Chinese, blacks, and Latinas all gathered outside the presidential palace of the United States to protest and demonstrate, and the American government was under tremendous pressure in an instant.
Minister of the United States personally found the relevant review unit of the film to understand the situation, and then, in the afternoon of the same day, the Minister of the United States personally led the team to review the film, and after the review, the Minister announced that the "Tianxing" movie from Huaxia does not have any prohibitions, so this movie will be released in the whole country on Christmas Day according to the original plan!
From last night's movie being blocked by Cotter to this afternoon, the mayor of the United States personally announced that the movie would be released as scheduled, and in less than 24 hours, Xu Taiping successfully broke the game, and the speed of this breakthrough is really a little too fast.
Evening, Chinatown, inside the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
"President Jiang, thank you, thank you!" Xu Taiping held Jiang Yipan's hand tightly and thanked him solemnly.
"You're welcome, everyone is Chinese, and it is natural to help each other overseas!" Jiang Yipan, who was in his fifties, said to Xu Taiping with a smile.
