A week later, in the early morning, Yu Jing took Peng Yichen's hand and walked into the hall of News Corp.'s headquarters together.

Today is the day they made an appointment with Averly to visit News Corporation.

I don't know why, recently Yu Jing is no longer like before, and after going out, she is ashamed to make some intimate moves with Peng Yichen, but enjoys showing the sweet relationship between the two in front of outsiders.

This made Peng Yichen a little unaccustomed to it, but at the same time, he felt that the relationship between the two was more intimate.

It's just that I wonder why Yu Jing's change is so sudden.

Of course, if he knew that Yu Jing and Emma Julia had met once, and it would have become like this, he might have been able to figure out why.

When they walked into the News Corp. building hand in hand, a person immediately took the initiative to greet them and greeted them warmly.

"Hello, Director Peng. Hello, Miss Yu. We are glad that you are willing to visit our company. Averie told me last night that you were coming, and I thought she was joking. The white man, who looked to be in his early 30s, greeted the two very politely.

When Peng Yichen heard his voice, he immediately remembered. This person should be the Foucus executive named "James" he heard in the toilet at the celebration party last night.

He took a serious look at James in front of him, and saw that he was slender, with deep eyes and three-dimensional facial features, which made people feel very kind, but his bearing was extraordinary.

He looks young, but he's actually 39 years old.

Seeing the doubts in Peng Yichen and Yu Jing's eyes, the white man smiled slightly: "I forgot to introduce myself, I am Averly's father, James Murdoch." ”

Peng Yichen and Yu Jing looked at each other, they didn't expect that this figure who was calling for wind and rain in News Corporation, would personally stand at the door of the building to greet them.

You must know that of the three sons of the elder Murdoch, except for the second son, who does not serve in his News Corporation, the eldest son and this younger son are both high-level members of News Corporation.

Among them, the youngest son is the heir with the highest call to succeed the old Murdoch "throne".

Peng Yichen and Yu Jing politely greeted James.

Peng Yichen joked with a smile: "I have always heard that among Mr. Murdoch's three sons, the most capable is the tallest one, I didn't believe it before, but now when I look at it, I find out that it is true." ”

Peng Yichen is more than 180 tall, which is already relatively tall among Asians.

But James is clearly a cut above him, at least 190 tall.

Coupled with his two long legs, he is definitely the favorite rich and handsome representative of Chinese girls.

The tall and handsome James suddenly said something in Chinese with a smile: "Director Peng really won the award, the two want to visit our production department with me, and we will talk while walking." ”

James has been in charge of Star TV in Greater China for the past few years.

Therefore, he once worked hard to learn Chinese, and when he spoke Mandarin, in addition to the accent was a little awkward, he couldn't even hear that a foreigner was speaking Chinese.

Subsequently, Peng Yichen and Yu Jing, led by James, took a circle around the headquarters of News Corp.

During the whole process, there was no flaw in the attitude of the famous rich second generation of the Star Flag Country.

His attitude towards Peng Yichen and Yu Jing is extremely sincere, and he can't see the slightest super-rich shelf.

Peng Yichen also gradually changed his guess about James in his heart, and really regarded him as a figure who needed to be taken seriously.

After entering his office, James let the two of them sit down on the couch of the receptionist.

"What do you have to drink?" he walked to a small bar in his office, the wine cabinet stocked with various drinks.

"I want some rum. ”

"Give me a glass of champagne. ”

Seeing that most of the alcoholic drinks in the bar counter were there, Peng Yichen and Yu Jing had no choice but to choose a kind of wine that they liked better.

James smiled and poured them a glass of wine, then poured himself a glass of rum as well.

Then he handed the wine glasses to the two of them, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Director Peng to like rum too." I remember the first time I drank this wine, I was drunk all day because I drank too much. ”

Peng Yichen raised his glass, touched it lightly with James, and said with a smile: "James, thank you for taking us to visit the headquarters of News Corporation." ”

James nodded slightly, stared at the rum in the wine glass, and congratulated, "I'm sorry, I forgot to congratulate you." Last night, "Life is Beautiful" won three consecutive gold medals at the Oscars, shocking the entire Hollywood. Last night, I asked Averly to invite you, just to discuss with you, and the two sides can cooperate very much in the future. ”

Peng Yichen thought to himself, finally getting to the point.

After being introduced to Robinoff, he knew in his heart that the biggest reason News Corp asked him to cooperate was that they wanted to indirectly control Time Warner through him.

But this obviously did not meet Peng Yichen's thoughts, and he politely refused: "Our company has signed a cooperation agreement with Time Hua Na for the next movie. In the short term, I may not be able to work with Fokkis Pictures. ”

When James heard this, he didn't get angry, thought about it, and said: "There are many ways to cooperate, and it doesn't necessarily be to invest in your film. In this way, I will now take you to meet two people who are the leaders of the X-Men project that we are shooting this year. ”

Peng Yichen and Yu Jing were not easy to decide, so they could only follow James to the office space of 21st Century Fokesi.

……

In a huge conference room, two white men sat inside and were discussing something.

One of the middle-aged men wore a neat suit and looked very shrewd and capable, while the other old man had a stubborn face and liked to talk loudly.

When the two of them saw James walk into the conference room first, they both got up and said hello, and then looked at the pair of young Chinese men and women brought by James behind him.

Peng Yichen was a little surprised at this time, he has paid a lot of attention to Marvel and DC Comics in the past two years, and of course he can recognize the white-haired old man in the conference room, who is Stan Lee, who has the title of Marvel's "father of superheroes".

Could it be that James brought the two of them over, really wanting to choose two important roles in the "X-Men" reboot series and hand them over to Chen Jing Film Company?

If this is the case, Focus's willingness to cooperate with him is really beyond Peng Yichen's expectations.

If Fokesi really spends so much money, Peng Yichen is not unable to consider his next sci-fi movie and bring in the capital of Fokesi.

After all, even if he successfully acquires the shares of Time Warper, he can only say that he has a preliminary foothold in Hollywood.

If you want to develop your contacts and resources in Hollywood, there are always more advantages than disadvantages to have an ally to help.

James first introduced the middle-aged white man: "This is the British film master - Matthew Vaughn. He was the producer of Guy Ritchie during the filming of "Two Smoking Guns" and "Kidnapping and Robbery", and he was also the director of "X-Men: First Class", the first film in the X-Men film series after the reboot. This is Stan Lee, and I think you all know him, so I won't introduce him. ”

Matthew got up with a smile, shook hands with Peng Yichen and Yu Jing, and said modestly: "Director Peng is better than me, he is already an Oscar winner at such a young age, and I haven't won it yet." ”

Stan Lee next to him sat on the chair, with no intention of getting up and shaking hands, and laughed: "His Oscar is much easier than yours." You're making movies in English, but you can't win the Best Foreign Language Film award. ”

Yu Jing and Peng Yichen saw that Matthew's attitude towards them was quite polite, but that Stan Lee was not so face-saving.

is not sneering in his words, and his attitude is like a little actor who comes to his movie and wants to play a role.

As for James, who was polite to them just now, he obviously also thinks that Stan Lee and Matthew are more important than the two of them.

Most of the time I talk to these two people, and I rarely take into account Peng Yichen and Yu Jing's feelings.

Although Peng Yichen and Yu Jing were angry in their hearts, they did not reach the point of disagreeing and leaving the case.

At this time, I heard Stan Lee say: "With our "X-Men" this year, your Fox company should be able to win the position of the No. 1 box office company in Hollywood this year." ”

Matthew also shook his head next to him and said: "This year, Hua Na also made a special effects blockbuster "War of the Gods", but I am afraid that their company's box office this year will not be much lower." ”

James said with great confidence: "Don't worry, if it goes well, we may be able to get control of Warner by the end of this year, thanks to Director Peng." His films were box office hits, dealing a heavy blow to Bix's prestige. Time Warna's board of directors is already very dissatisfied with him. At the general meeting of shareholders at the end of the year, our representatives within Hua Na will unite all the neutrals, plus Director Peng and cooperate with us. Time Hua Na is ours. ”

Peng Yichen didn't agree with his words, and replied with a sneer: "Hehe, the cooperation between us? ”

Just as he was talking, a tall Star Flag Beauty suddenly walked in outside the conference room.

The girl has a plump figure, a charming temperament, and three-dimensional facial features, and is a standard beauty according to European and American aesthetic concepts.

Peng Yichen No one recognized who this woman was, but Yu Jing recognized her identity at a glance. •

Jennifer Lawrence won the Best Newcomer award at last year's Venice Film Festival.

At that time, she was only 17 years old, and her acting skills were very average, could she also be an actor in "X-Men: First Fight"?

"Look who's coming? Our new generation of Demonic Girls has finally arrived. Stan Lee stood up to greet Jennifer.

Matthew greeted her with a smile as well.

Both of them know that this girl is the main actress promoted by Foucus in the past two years, and her background in News Corp. is much deeper than many people.

Who followed Jennifer in was the Aweili that Peng Yichen and Yu Jing had seen last night.

But at this time, Yu Jing, who was smart, heard the conversation between them and Jennifer, and the expression on her face had changed.
