The capital is so big.

There are so many people in the capital.

The development of the capital is really fast.

I'm in a good mood today.

Mitchell looks at the thousand-year-old city from the perspective of an observer.

"Everything here is jaw-dropping, except for the air. Huaxiatong, who browsed the scenery of the capital together, said Arthur of the Twentieth Century Fox brand department.

Mitchell nodded, and then mentioned the purpose of this trip to Huaxia: "How do you think Forrest Gump will respond to our request?"

Arthur is tall, thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he is a delicate person inside, he has been in charge of Fox in China for several years, and now he has entered the promotion stage of the group's fast lane.

"In Hollywood, it is nothing more than contacting other companies, and in Huaxia it should also be preparing for strength, he will not hand over the initiative so easily, according to his past behavior, Forrest Gump is a relatively tough person, and he tends to build his own power in the eastern country. ”

"And do you think he'll make it?" asked Mitchell with interest.

Arthur groaned for a moment and said his judgment: "It's difficult, in the United States, he has already offended Warner, if there is friction with us and Paramount again this time, is it really so easy for Hollywood to deal with." ”

The capital is full of traffic, high-rise buildings, and the atmosphere of an international metropolis can be seen at a glance, and Mitchell and his party slowly walked on the Jianguo Road in Chaoyang District, amazed by the speed of development here.

After a while, Mitchell seemed to remember the topic just now, and said: "So, we just need to express our position, no threats, no need to say what will happen if we don't get the initiative this time." Forrest Gump is actually a smart man, and he won't fail to think of what you're talking about. ”

"For people like Forrest Gump, we have to give him sweetness and space, but the grasp of the size of the space must be mastered by us. Mitchell said lightly, "If he blends in with us, he will have more space." ”

Arthur hesitated for a moment, knowing that Mitchell was nodding himself, and asked, "Do you want Forrest Gump to join us in Fox?"

"Whether it's Fox, Paramount, or Warner, it's all under our rules. Mitchell quipped, "Maybe tomorrow I'll jump to Warner as president." Everyone always has to have a tacit understanding in their hearts. ”

Arthur nodded, don't look at Forrest Gump to make such a lineup, but ask who is in Hollywood?

The group walked leisurely to the CBD Wanda Plaza on Jianguo Road, Mitchell looked up at the sign above, nodded and said: "Wanda Cinema Line should not be underestimated." ”

"I heard that Wanda intends to list AMC, but AMC should still be in a loss-making state this year. Arthur knew the purpose of today's trip, and it was a little puzzled to talk about Wanda's acquisition of the second largest cinema chain in the United States last year.

There is no gap between Chinese and American cinemas in terms of technology applications, and at the same time, because of the unique laws and regulations in the United States, the profits of the cinema industry are not much, and AMC's original valuation is obviously premium.

"Let's see. Mitchell had already seen the group of people Wanda come out to greet him, and he had a kind smile on his face.

Wanda's trip is not only an engagement for Fox's China strategy, but also a constraint on Forrest Gump's plans in the near future, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, and Mitchell believes that the goodwill of the Hollywood giant will bring wonderful results.

The next day, Luc arrived first, and Scarlett and Christopher arrived in the capital together.

The meeting was still held in Bairihong, but this time Forrest Gump was absent, and he was replaced by Chen Huihong, CEO of Bairihong.

This time, Forrest Gump was absent, and intentionally or unintentionally, Mitchell sat in the main seat.

Lao Chen was stunned for a moment when he went back to his office to get the documents and then came back to see this scene, but he didn't say anything, just distributed the documents to everyone present.

"What about Forrest Gump?" asked Director Luc without Mitchell speaking.

Today's trip is a more comprehensive meeting of the main creators and investors, Fox, Paramount, Bairihong, Huayi, director, heroine, male number two, it is reasonable and reasonable, Forrest Gump should be present.

Chen Huihong said apologetically: "Forrest Gump can't withdraw from this meeting because of some things that need to be involved in government departments, so I'll take his place." ”

Scarlett's gaze swept over on the right, and Wang Zhonglei on the left also looked over, but the former was dissatisfied, and the latter was subtle - literary symposium, people in China naturally knew some of the situation faster.

"At the moment, we are looking forward to using a more mature team to assemble the crew of "Love What I Love", and our Fox master of photography Alger will join the ......"

Compared to the last time he was calm, Mitchell's attitude this time tends to be tougher.

In his opinion, Forrest Gump's facelessness is only a form of passive resistance and a manifestation of irresponsibility.

Since you don't want to be responsible, then it's up to us.

The mobile phone in his pocket buzzed and vibrate, Mitchell frowned, and apologized to everyone present: "An emergency call." ”

He left the conference room with his mobile phone, and Wang Zhonglei nodded slightly at Lao Chen, Lao Chen only looked at it, and then lowered his head to read the documents in his hand.

This extremely brief detail was noticed by Scarlett, and she glanced thoughtfully at the two Chinese people, and suddenly had a woman's premonition in her heart about the familiar scene in front of her, which might not be as Fawkes wished.

However, the corners of Scarlett's lips curled, this matter has nothing to do with herself, as long as she is filming.

After about three minutes, Mitchell came in with his usual face.

"A little business on the American side. He still sat down, "Everyone here hopes that our crew will go smoothly, but Forrest Gump's absence is still a little inappropriate." ”

Mitchell nodded at Lao Chen and said with a gentle smile: "I don't look down on Mr. Chen, but without Forrest Gump, the actor investor, I'm still a little relieved." Let Mr. Chen introduce the general situation today, after all, the director and the leading actors have just arrived here and don't know much about it. ”

Lao Chen complained in his heart, the topic just now was not like this, but he had already roughly guessed what the situation was, so he began to introduce the preparations of the current crew, which also belonged to his work.

A meeting that was supposed to be advanced ended in a hurry, Mitchell's face didn't change much, and Scott of Paramount on the side was a little puzzled, this rhythm was a little unexpected.

When the people were almost gone, Mitchell found a reason to stay.

"Mr. Chen, please tell Forrest Gump, we at Fox are interested in making additional investments, and this matter needs to be communicated privately. "Mitchell is still graceful.

Lao Chen naturally nodded and agreed.

Mitchell happily walked out of the Hundred Days Red Company, but when he got into his car, his face finally changed, and he gave a reason to the puzzled Arthur.

"The Film Bureau wants to re-examine our films in China this year, and I heard that Forrest Gump participated, but I didn't expect it. ”

"I didn't expect ......," Mitchell frowned.
