Chapter 761: Top Great Director!

……

Christie's auctions will take place in the Hilton's ballroom on the 18th floor, with three dedicated elevators leading up.

After showing his invitation, Liu Dong passed the second blockade line, stepped into the elevator, and after arriving on the 18th floor, after the last inspection, Liu Dong walked into the auction hall and got the No. 88 bidding plate in his hand.

Because the two of them may have arrived a little early, most of the seats in the hall were empty. And Del Roosevelt, who had originally made an appointment with Liu Dong to come with him, was nowhere to be seen.

Just as Liu Dong was about to find a seat in front of him and sit down first, a blonde beauty in a purple dress suddenly stood up and beckoned to the two.

"Ivanka, here!"

"Kate?"

Ivanka, who had a look of surprise on her face, hurriedly pulled Liu Dong over.

However, after getting closer, Liu Dong felt that the blonde beauty in front of him looked a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen each other for a while.

"Ivanka, I didn't expect to see you here, aren't you supposed to be studying at Wharton now?"

"I took a leave of absence from school, and this time I came with my boyfriend!"

The two women hugged and said.

"Boyfriend, do you have a boyfriend?" said the blonde beauty who couldn't help but look at the young man standing behind Ivanka in surprise, and it was also an Asian American.

While the United States flaunts democracy and freedom, there are still very few marriages between whites and yellows, or blacks, except for racial discrimination. There is also the fact that there is too much difference in living habits and concepts! Especially a rich daughter like Ivanka Trump. Even more so.

That's why blonde beauties who know about these are particularly surprised!

"Hmm. This is Dong Liu, my boyfriend!" After nodding, Ivanka leaned over and hugged Liu Dong's arm proudly and happily.

"It's unbelievable, since I met you, I always thought that you, a good girl who never looked like an American woman, would not find a man until after the age of 30?

After making fun of Ivanka, the blonde woman looked Liu Dong up and down, and then stretched out her white and slender right hand to the other party, "Hello." My name is Kate Winslet!"

As soon as he heard this name, Liu Dong's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

'Titanic'!

Liu Dong rarely watches any TV, and he doesn't know many stars, and even fewer foreign ones, but the two leading actors of "Titanic" are the only names of the two foreign stars he remembers.

Of course, this is mainly due to Wang Qiang, since living with Liu Dong, this movie has been played by her eight times, and she cries every time she watches it, which really makes Liu Dong not want to remember.

"Hello, my name is Liu Dong. It's Ivanka's boyfriend!"

After shaking hands with the other party, Liu Dong's eyes shifted to standing next to Kate. A middle-aged man who looked to be at least twenty years older than her, wearing a suit and round-framed eyes on his face, "Who is this?"

"Hello, Stephen Spielberg, nice to meet you!"

"Hello, my name is Liu Dong!" said that, Liu Dong held the other party's outstretched hand.

Although this person's temperament is not ordinary at first glance, Liu Dong really doesn't know each other.

After the two sides said hello, they sat down on the sofa next to them, watching Ivanka and Kate chatting lively, Spielberg also noticed Liu Dong beside him, "Mr. Liu is Chinese?"

"Well, this is my first time in the United States!" Liu Dong nodded.

"For the first time?" Spielberg looked surprised.

"yes!"

"The first time I came to the United States, I got Miss Ivanka's heart, and this is really sad news for the boys all over the country!" Spielberg quipped.

"Hehe, we fell in love at first sight!" Liu Dong didn't explain much.

"What did Mr. Liu work from?"

Hearing this, Liu Dong said in his heart: "This foreigner is really direct enough!"

If this is a change of country, two strangers are afraid that it is rare for two strangers to ask each other's occupations so directly.

"I've opened a few companies in China, and it's just a simple businessman!" Liu Dong said with a smile.

Spielberg smiled in agreement, but he also knew that no one who could fly across the Pacific Ocean to participate in Christie's New York auctions was simple, and the worst was a billionaire.

Moreover, he has also dealt with many Chinese, and knows that in this Eastern country, he believes in the idea of "moderation", pays attention to wealth and does not show it, which is completely different from the Americans who emphasize individuality.

So despite the fact that he was just a simple businessman, Spielberg believed that the Oriental was a real billionaire.

"I wonder if Mr. Spielberg is ......?" asked Liu Dong instead.

"Oh, I'm a film director!"

"Hollywood film director?" Liu Dong was surprised.

Although he doesn't watch movies often, Hollywood's big names are also thunderous!

"East, Mr. Spielberg is the most famous top director in Hollywood, and he produced "Jaws", "ET the Extra-Terrestrial", "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series, "Jurassic Park" series, and "Saving Private Ryan", each of which is a super movie that has sold more than $400 million worldwide!" Ivanka interjected into the words of the two, and introduced Liu Dong with some admiration in her tone.

"400 million US dollars!" Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who was not outstanding in appearance and was short in height among Westerners, Liu Dong was really surprised!

Although he has not seen any of these movies introduced by Ivanka, Liu Dong is very sensitive to numbers, he knows what the concept of 400 million US dollars is, and when converted into Huaxia coins, it is 3.3 billion!

What does 3.3 billion Huaxia coins mean, it means absolute success!

Even with the help of Relic Yuanguang, there are only a handful of chances that he can obtain a fortune of $400 million at once. The only time was when I was gambling with them in Myanmar!

As for Aztlan and Japanese treasures, they don't count, strictly speaking. Both of these treasures were brought by luck. Liu Dong didn't pay any labor!

And the other party can earn this amount of money six or seven times just by making movies. It's really admirable!And at this time, Liu Dong was even more curious about the other party!

“…… Yes, Mr. Spielberg's films have now grossed more than $4 billion worldwide, an average of $151 million per film!" Ivanka continued.

"Mr. Spielberg, what a disrespectful look!" Liu Dong said after glancing at the other party in surprise again.

"I have won the award, I don't know if Mr. Liu is interested in investing in movies!" was complimented by Liu Dong's words, and after thinking for a while, Spielberg suddenly said.

"Investing in movies?"

In the face of this sudden invitation, Liu Dong was really a little surprised!

And Ivanka and Kate, who heard their conversation, also focused their attention on this side. One of them cares about their lover, and the other is like getting closer to Spielberg, a great director, so that they can participate in each other's next movie!

So the attention is extraordinarily focused at the moment.

"That's right!"

Seeing the other party nodding again, Liu Dong also secretly thought in his heart.

If the other party is really as powerful as Ivanka said, there is no reason to push this opportunity to make money for nothing. But Liu Dong quickly thought about how his films would lack investment if Spielberg was really the kind of top director who could guarantee the box office.

I believe that there is absolutely no shortage of rich people in the United States who have spare money in their hands and want to make money more.

"Is it your own movie?" said Liu.

"No, it's a movie of a friend of mine!"

"Sure enough!" Liu Dong said in his heart.

He knew that if the other party was really a top director as Ivanka said. There is no shortage of investment at all, and it will not pull him a person who has just known him for less than half an hour. Go invest in your own films.

Seeing Liu Dong's expression, Spielberg knew that there was little hope!

Of course, he just mentioned it in passing, if it weren't for his friend who couldn't find investment, he wouldn't have brought it up in front of Liu Dong.

"Can I know the name of this movie?" Liu said.

"Yes, the movie is based on a world-famous British fantasy novel called The Lord of the Rings!"

"The Lord of the Rings?" Liu Dong repeated, and then after searching his stomach for a long time, there was no information related to this name in his mind.

"Mr. Spielberg, wasn't 'The Lord of the Rings' financed by New Line Films?" Ivanka interjected as she interjected.

Although she is not a person in the film industry, in the information-developed United States, any news from Hollywood can be conveyed to the top and bottom of the United States within an hour, and the relationship between the modeling industry and Hollywood is too close!

So it's not surprising that Spielberg knows this about Ivanka.

"Yes, but Peter is in conflict with the management of New Line and Walt Disney Company over investments......" Spielberg stopped, because further down there were company secrets!

Even if Liu Dong was not outside the film industry, he wouldn't even say what he said just now!

"What about DreamWorks......?"

What Ivanka meant, Spielberg also understood, "Although I am a shareholder of DreamWorks, I am not alone in the company!"

In addition, he didn't say a word, that is, including him, the entire Hollywood lacks confidence in a magical movie like "The Lord of the Rings"!

In 2000, Peter Jackson, a fat man from New Zealand, took the script of "The Lord of the Rings" and begged all Hollywood studios to meet Xia Ye!

However, although the new line film company has been established for 30 years, it has invested in small and medium-cost films, and there is no capital to invest in "The Lord of the Rings", a large-scale production of more than 100 million yuan, so the funds still rely more on Disney, but Disney's senior management is not optimistic about this non-magic movie at all, so there are disputes over investment!

Therefore, there is Spielberg's current inquiry about Liu Dong.

If you can help your friend get a sum of money, you can be regarded as helping yourself!(To be continued......)
