Martin got one thing wrong, the party was not held by the crew, but a private party held at home by Shi Hao, CEO of Hualong Pictures. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Just like Chinese people like to call friends to eat, drink and sing K, in the United States, all kinds of parties are prevalent.

Americans are mostly "party animals" who like to throw parties and communicate with people through parties. And parties have become a culture in the United States.

As the CEO of Hualong Pictures, Shi Hao, who is familiar with American party culture, follows the local customs. Taking the opportunity of the company to prepare for the filming of "Twilight", a banquet-style party will be held at home every once in a while, inviting people from the American entertainment industry, fashion industry, media industry and other entertainment circles to participate.

Through this social method, it helps him expand his network and establish a network, which is helpful for him and Hualong in the future development of the United States.

Like tonight's party, Shi Hao invited guests related to "Twilight".

After Martin and Christine came to the two-story single-family villa where Shi Hao lived, they met the filmmakers, directors, photographers, lighting engineers, art directors and other crew bosses, advertisers who intend to sponsor the film, a number of media executives who positively promote the film, theater executives who have a cooperative relationship with Hualong Group, and the editor-in-chief of the publishing house that publishes "Twilight".

In this kind of banquet-style party with a commercial nature, the identity level of the visiting guests often symbolizes the level of the party itself.

In addition to these people, there are also some young handsome men and beautiful women. Many of them are Christine's peers, more famous young actors, who performed well during the audition process and have the heart to fight for the hero and heroine of "Twilight".

Christine and Martin first said hello to the host Shi Hao, chatted briefly, no longer disturbed Shi Hao, who was chatting with the advertiser, picked up a cocktail, and found an opportunity to communicate with the producer and director.

Mai Xiaoyu was also at the party, but he was blowing the wind on the terrace on the second floor to watch the night view, followed by Ke Haoyi, who was dressed in formal clothes, EVA and Ye Chu and others were all expanding their contacts on the first floor.

Comrade Lao Luo is a capital broker, and EVA is his secretary and bodyguard, and he accompanied Mai Xiaoyu to the United States this time, and also had the task of expanding his contacts.

Not to mention Ye Chu, many of the people present were his potential customers. The level of wheat leaf special effects company can only rank in the second-rate middle among its American counterparts, but the price is much cheaper and has a price advantage.

The evening breeze was light, and the sound of warblers and swallows came from the left, Ke Haoyi subconsciously turned around and looked at the two white beauties passing by.

Mai Xiaoyu took a sip of champagne and said with a smile: "What, you want to ride a Yanma again?" ”

Ke Haoyi shook his head with a sneer; "No, I'm a little uncomfortable."

"Same. Wait, I guess we'll be back home in a few days. "Flight Attendant" premieres next month, and I don't want to miss it. ”

"Hi Mai!"

Two middle-aged white men came to the terrace to chat with wine glasses, and the fatter one recognized Mai Xiaoyu and greeted him warmly.

Mai Xiaoyu turned around and raised his glass to signal: "Neil, long time no see." ”

"Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, in fact, I haven't seen wheat for a long time, and I've never even seen each other."

Neil is the general manager and editor-in-chief of the publishing house, and "Twilight" is published by his publishing house.

"Then don't see you."

"Haha, you're such a scorching agent. Come, let me introduce you to this Brett Lee, a friend of mine and a famous Hollywood producer. "XX" and "XXX" are his works, and three of the literary works published by our company have been brought to the big screen by him. He has a lot of interest in "Twilight", but it's a pity that you didn't give him a chance. ”

Bright Lee is the fattest big fat man of the two, Neil pulled him and continued to introduce: "Bright, this Mr. Mai Xiaoyu, is the owner of a film company from Huaxia, and the controversial "This Man is from Earth" during the summer vacation is produced by their company. In addition, he is also the agent of the author of "Twilight", and he takes care of all matters of Wheat. ”

"I now understand why Hualong Pictures was able to get the film adaptation rights of "Twilight"." Bright stretched out his fat palm, "I'm Bright Lee, it's nice to meet you, Mr. Mai Xiaoyu, you can call me Bright." ”

"I'm glad to meet you, Bright, just call me Mai."

The three of them drank and chatted on the terrace, discussing the differences between the Chinese and American film markets, the possibility of future cooperation, and the importance of the Chinese market to the global film industry.

At present, the United States is still the largest box office in the global film industry, and the third in China, behind the United States and Japan.

Judging from the development momentum of these years, the annual box office of China has approached Japan, and it is just around the corner to surpass Japan. Bright also believes that China's rapid economic growth, large population, and huge market potential may one day surpass that of the United States.

"With the expansion of the Chinese market, I think the cooperation between the film circles of the two countries will increase, and more and more Chinese actors will appear in Hollywood films......"

Bright is a supporter of meritocracy, and he does not have the anti-Chinese sentiment of some Americans, and he has a good conversation with McXiaoyu.

Halfway through the chat, Ye Chu came up.

At tonight's party, he didn't see Mai Xiaoyu, thinking of Mai Xiaoyu's habits, he guessed that he was hiding in a place with few people. It didn't take long to find Mai Xiaoyu on the terrace.

Ye Chu and Neil have known each other for a long time, and he recommended the publication of "Twilight" to Neil.

When he was on the first floor just now, he had greeted Neil and met Bright, so the four of them got together and started chatting.

After Ye Chu joined, there was another topic of conversation - movie special effects production.

This is Ye Dashao's G-spot, and it is inevitable that he will be quick for a while, vaguely mentioning the meeting with Disney.

If Disney is willing to consider the cooperation plan proposed by Mai Xiaoyu, the wheat leaf special effects can receive some outsourcing shots, which will be of great help to improve the fame and level of the wheat leaf special effects.

Hollywood has a lot of special effects production for movies, all of which are outsourced.

It is not uncommon for special effects production companies in many countries, including Huaxia, to take over Hollywood projects.

Huaxia's special effects production company, contracting foreign shots, and receiving special effects production of domestic film and television dramas, will always give people two feelings.

In the former, in Hollywood blockbusters, Chinese audiences can't tell which shots are contracted by domestic companies, thinking that they are all completed by Hollywood special effects companies; But the latter, when the domestic audience sees it, they will say: "Another Nima five-cent special effect".

The same company, the same technology, different effects, the reason is that when a domestic company takes over a foreign shot, the foreign special effects production company will send a special person to "watch the scene", such as a visual director and other professionals.

Compared with foreign counterparts, the lack of R&D investment in domestic special effects production and technology is not to mention, and the art is even more backward.

Disney's special effects production level is very high, and Ye Chu is looking forward to reaching a cooperation with Disney this time. At that time, the special effects of wheat leaves can receive some of the outsourced shots from Disney, and Disney will send special personnel to guide and benefit from it.

Ye Chu knew the severity, and he couldn't talk about it casually, so he was very vague when he mentioned it.

However, Bright is an old driver, although he didn't understand it, but he heard the importance of Mai Xiaoyu, and it seems that Mai Xiaoyu's status in Hualong Pictures is not low.

When he learned that of the $40 million investment in "Twilight", Hualong Pictures invested 30 million and Mengren Film and Television invested 10 million, he had a faint guess in his heart.

After the four separated, Bright went down to the first floor and found Jenny, a young actress with whom she had worked many times and had a very good relationship.

"Jenny, aren't you interested in 'Isabella', I think I've found someone who can help you......"

So, five minutes later, Jenny, a child star who debuted and is twenty years old this year, came to the terrace with a wine glass and appeared in front of Mai Xiaoyu.

Hollywood is the mecca of the global entertainment industry and the originator of the unspoken rules of the global entertainment industry.

The child star debuted Jenny, who was brilliant when she was young, but as an adult, she developed in the direction of "being out of the crowd".

It's been a few hours, and it's not necessarily good.

This made Jenny, who was accustomed to living under the spotlight, feel a crisis.

"Twilight" has a large IP and a wide readership, and it has attracted the attention of readers from Europe and the United States just in the preparatory stage.

As for the candidate for the heroine "Isabella", the crew made it clear that they needed young actresses, and newcomers didn't matter, in short, they would not choose older actresses to play tender for the sake of the actor's fame.

In Jenny's opinion, this is a very good opportunity.

However, good things will always be sought after by everyone, and the role of "Yasabella" is highly competitive.

However, the producers and directors of this film are all women, the screenwriter and the original author never appear, the producer Shi Hao is difficult to contact, and the producer and director are not lace, which makes many actresses who have the intention to seek potential and exchange their bodies for roles feel desperate.

Bright pointed out a new direction, Jenny trusted Bright very much, and the purpose of coming to Mai Xiaoyu was self-evident.

She was very active, and Mai Xiaoyu's response was very cold.

But the more this is the case, the more she believes that Mai Xiaoyu has the ability to decide the choice of the heroine, at least in the choice of the heroine, she has a lot of influence.

After some active conversation, Jenny left her phone number and a seductive look in her eyes and turned away.

Regarding Jenny's various hints of throwing her arms, Ye Chu said that it was difficult to understand.

"How did she know about you?"

Mai Xiaoyu gave him a pair of white eyes angrily: "It's not because of you." ”

"I didn't say anything."

"For an old driver of Bright's level, what you said is enough for him to guess something."

"Uh...... That girl wouldn't have come to you too, would she? ”

"It seems that Bright is either a big mouth, or he is not cautious enough to be listened to."

"Hehe, I'll go first, you can do it yourself. Actually, it doesn't matter if you laugh, I have a girlfriend, and I won't tell Miss Liutao. ”

"Haozi, beat him."

Ke Haoyi raised his face and frightened, Ye Chu left with a smile, and in a blink of an eye, another young and beautiful girl came to Mai Xiaoyu and introduced herself: "Hello, I'm Emily......"

Starting from Jenny, young and beautiful actresses came to the terrace one after another and took the initiative to ask Mai Xiaoyu for acquaintance.

Some heard what Bright said to Jenny, some heard second-hand or third-hand, and some didn't know anything, but saw their competitors do it and guessed the truth.

These young and beautiful girls fully show the openness of Americans, all kinds of hints in speech and demeanor, all kinds of seduction and seduction between scratching their heads and gestures, and showing their best side.

When leaving, he either left his phone number, or left his hotel room number, or left his residence number, so that Mai Xiaoyu fully understood the "enthusiasm" and "unrestrainedness" of American women.

When the fifth girl left, she leaned forward, squeezed out the proud career line, whispered softly and left the hotel room number, and gently licked Mai Xiaoyu's earlobe, Mai Xiaoyu couldn't hold it.

It's not that you can't hold the temptation of beauty, but you can't hold this endless interruption.

These white girls are very beautiful, very good-looking, pure white skin, beautiful and long legs, and their bodies are convex and extremely hot.

But there is no such thing as a free lunch, and those charming young actresses will not let you eat for nothing, and Mai Xiaoyu does not want to waste time on such a doomed matter.

So he decided to take Ke Haoyi out of the terrace, leave this place of right and wrong, and go to the first floor to have a bite to eat. When there are many people, girls can't be so explicit.

When Mai Xiaoyu walked into the room, a young and handsome white boy walked up to him, stared at him several times, and then looked for something everywhere on the terrace.

Mai Xiaoyu almost didn't throw up.

Back in the room, Mai Xiaoyu asked Ke Haoyi to eat something, and he went to the bathroom to put water.

The bathroom on the second floor is located at the end of the corridor, and at the end of the corridor is a curtain, behind which is a small semicircular viewing balcony.

After washing his hands with water and drying his hands with an automatic hand dryer, Mai Xiaoyu came out to go to the buffet on the first floor to get something to eat, when he overheard a woman's whispering outside the curtain.

Because the location is a certain distance from the small viewing balcony, and the woman's voice is also very small, Mai Xiaoyu can't really hear it, and can only hear the faint sound of talking.

The U.S. side takes personal privacy very seriously, and he does not plan to eavesdrop and is ready to leave.

At this time, a burst of laughter like silver bells floated in from outside the curtains, and the sound was very clear, it was the voice of EVA!

EVA thinks about spring?

Mai Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment and took two steps in the direction of the curtain.

He was worried that EVA would be deceived, and there were many old drivers who flirted with girls among the Yankees, and they were born lethal to Chinese girls. EVA is Lao Luo's man, sent to accompany him to the United States, and he has to give Lao Luo an intact EVA.

A few steps forward, the sound outside the curtain gradually became clear.

From EVA's fluent English, Mai Xiaoyu heard that it was not her being teased, but that she was flirting with someone else, flirting with a girl...... Dead Bunny!
