About 20 hours later, Chen Guang and the others arrived in Los Angeles, and it was 10 o'clock in the morning. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As soon as the three of them got off the plane, they went straight to the local hotel, accompanied by the relevant reception staff of Tang Jie Fund, and took a good nap to adjust their biological clock.

Chen Guang is a superman, but the other two main combat forces in this matter, Fang Tianyu and Lu Xiaoliang, are mortals.

The Flemington Hotel, located next to the National Film Institute's headquarters, is one of the top hotels in the United States, and many celebrities choose it when they come to California for a temporary stay.

From here, you can walk to the Hollywood Chinese Theater in the heart of the Walk of Fame in about 15 minutes.

This historic movie theater is located next to the Durle Grand Theatre and is a landmark in Los Angeles, Hollywood, and even the United States

The theater has hosted many Oscar ceremonies, other major conferences, etc., and is of great historical significance, as well as a tourist attraction and cultural temple in Los Angeles.

In the square outside the main entrance of the cinema, there is a wall of handprints made of cement.

Since decades ago, whenever there is a major event, the Joshtan family, the founders of the cinema, has invited celebrities of the era to leave their handprints and gilded names on this handprint wall.

So far, the people who have been able to leave their personal logos on the handprint wall are not only presidents, but also business and scientific tycoons, and more often celebrities in the field of entertainment and culture.

Because of the changes in the market economy, in recent years, in order to cooperate with the publicity, perhaps out of interest considerations, the selection criteria for the famous handprint wall have become less strict, and even caused a lot of controversy.

But no one can deny that this is an honor that no celebrity in the world can ignore.

The best news for Chen Guang is also related to the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, after the dual operation of Tang Xiaokai and Deng Dabeard, the national premiere of the weak film "Women" is being placed in this cultural mecca with extremely rich significance.

Holding the premiere at the Huaxia Theater will of course have a mysterious bonus effect on "Women", which is already from China.

Regardless of the quality of my films, I, like many Oscar-winning films, have their premieres at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

I raised my status and grade first, but I was so shameless, so why should I?

The world premiere is scheduled for December 25, the day of Christmas.

This festival is currently not low in China, and it is more important in Europe and the United States as it is on the first day of the Spring Festival in China.

On the day when they were able to forcibly cut the queue, God knows how much favor Tang Xiaokai and Deng Dabeard sold.

As the founding family of Hollywood's Huaxia Theater, the Joshtan family currently holds the largest stake in the theater chain, and the rest of the shares are controlled by many parties, but Huaxia's local funds have almost no control.

The name of the theater had nothing to do with the Chinese people, but simply because the founder and his partners planned to create a landmark building and cultural industry rich in oriental cultural charm in Los Angeles.

At the capital level, only Tang Jie Fund of Hollywood Huaxia Theater has about 0.15% of the shares of this cinema company through progressive multi-layer holdings, and has no influence on decision-making.

What others are selling is purely the face of Tang Jie Fund on Wall Street.

Tang Xiaokai can be regarded as giving Chen Guang enough face, he didn't need to come over, but in order to implement this matter, he even arrived in Los Angeles in person a day in advance.

But then he was angry and embarrassed.

Tang Xiaokai suppressed his anger and sat in the office of Donard Joshtan, the general manager of the Huaxia Theater, the contemporary speaker of the Joshtan family, and looked at this white old man with silver hair in his fifties with a straight face.

Donard Joshtan wears a crisp suit, with a big back combed like a waterfall, and the silver light shines.

Perhaps because of his rigid face for many years, the cheeks on both sides of his slightly obese face drooped and protruded.

In appearance, this is a stubborn, stubborn, and very dislike of thinking about others.

Tang Xiaokai took a deep breath and said slowly: "Mr. Yoshtan, this is different from what we originally said, even if you can't get the No. 1 screening room, you can't arrange me in the No. 14 screening room, right? ”

Donard Joshtan was equally expressionless, shrugged slightly, and the magnitude was almost unrecognizable to the naked eye, "Mr. Don, I understand the mood of you want to help your friend. So I originally arranged for this little film from China to be screened in Room No. 7, but there was no way, just the night before the big day, my friend for many years, Mr. Diaz, called me personally, and his friend, an old professor from Wesleyan University who was quite famous for his writings, also needed my No. 7 Screening Hall. You know, whether it's Mr. Diaz or Wesleyan University, I have to respect their requests, so I can only apologize to you and your friends, Mr. Tang. ”

When Tang Xiaokai heard this, he also knew that the reason given by Donard Joshtan was irrefutable, this is not Huaxia, after all, it is the territory of the Chinese people, not to mention that the other party's status in the film industry is indeed not comparable to himself and Deng Dabeard, "But it can't be placed in a remote position like the No. 14 screening hall......, right?"

Donard waved his hand again and again, "Mr. Tang, all the screening halls from the first to the twelfth have been booked, you know, this is Christmas, just like your Chinese New Year movies, many people want to release them on this day, and my Huaxia Theater, there are more people who want to put the premiere here." Screening Room 13 is vacant, but do you need me to change your friends to Screening Room 13? I know you Chinese don't care about that number. ”

Tang Xiaokai's face was gloomy, Chen Guang wanted an Oscar, and there was no need to worry about it in China, a few months in advance, coupled with the influence of the entire film's main creative team, there was no suspense about the box office on the premiere day.

But here in Europe and the United States, a film that is going to compete for the Oscar is premiered in Hall 13, what is this?

Is it funny?

Poke it out as a joke for the media, and when people mention you, they have to avoid your title and replace it with "the ominous film that premiered in Cinema 13".

"Don't play such a joke on me, Mr. Joshtan. ”

Tang Xiaokai is a figure on Wall Street after all, although Donard Joshtan has a lot of influence in the film industry, but in terms of status, he is not as much as Tang Xiaokai.

Tang Xiaokai's words are equivalent to indicating the bottom line.

That is, Donard is accustomed to relying on the old and selling the old, and he thinks he understands the Chinese people, he didn't have much contact with Tang Xiaokai before, and treated him as an ordinary gentle and reserved Chinese person, and now he knows that the joke has been made.

Donard's color changed slightly, "Mr. Tang, you misunderstood, I was just joking, don't care." ”

Tang Xiaokai saw that his tone softened and softened his expression slightly, "The matter in the fourteenth screening hall has been decided like this, thank you for your help to me and my friends." But another thing......"

Donard immediately continued to shake his head and said, "Mr. Tang, don't embarrass me, over the years, I have had a great negative impact on the theater because I rashly agreed to other people's requests to leave a mark on the handprint wall. I know that Mr. Chen's purpose is to hit the Oscars, and if he can really do it, he will be the first Chinese Oscar winner, which is indeed very historic. But Mr. Tang, do you think this is really realistic? Although I donard is only the owner of a theater, I also have a lot of friends at the Film Society, and I am very familiar with the rules of the Oscars, so I can tell you unequivocally that this is not possible!"

"I recognize that Mr. Chen is currently well-known around the world, but his past achievements have nothing to do with the art of film! I recognize his great contribution to the aviation industry, and the Medal of Hero is worthy of respect, but it is not enough. His essence is no different from that of an online anchor who has become famous on YouTube and has to die, and his social status and artistic achievements are far from worthy of leaving a name on the handprint wall!"

Tang Xiaokai slapped the table violently, "Isn't the world's No. 1 language master unworthy? Don't you know how high his status is in the linguistics world now?"

"It doesn't make sense, it has nothing to do with cinema and art. His achievements in arm strength, his achievements in darts, have nothing to do with art. ”

Tang Xiaokai glared, "So, his achievements in the piano, the greatest piano artist in the history of mankind, also have nothing to do with art?"

Donard still didn't get in, "Mr. Tang, you may be mistaken, he is just a pianist, but not necessarily an artist. I don't deny that his music is so perfect that even my granddaughter's school now uses his videos and recordings as standard textbooks, but so far he has never really created anything other than playing someone else's music. What he plays is, in a sense, like a CD, nothing more. ”

"You are just vexatious, forceful words! He restores the real Mozart, Tchaikovsky and Beethoven! His performance is the closest to the original, and people can hear the real performance of those masters across hundreds of years, can't this be called an artistic achievement?"

Donard couldn't help but show a sneering expression, "What about the evidence, Mr. Tang, there are still a lot of debates in the piano world about what you said, and most of the people who support his faction are the people who lost to him in the competition he held and the friends of these people, and God knows how much these people have received from him." Mr. Tang, you may not know much about things in the art world, they are all about to fight. ”

Without waiting for Tang Xiaokai to continue to be furious, Donard spoke again, "Mr. Tang, I'll admit it to you." The most fundamental reason is that I personally hate him out of my personal feelings. I don't care what other aspects of his achievements he has in the past, I don't even have any interest in watching the movie digital source you sent me at all, because I can't accept his behavior at all! A person who has appeared on the screen for the first time, and has never even acted in a TV series, actually wants to become an Oscar! He even forced me through your personal connections, just to meet the rigid requirement of being released before December 31st!"
