Chapter 716 - Being Underestimated

"Let's go, let's go to Fox headquarters. Gu Xiaofan thought of this, and no longer refute it, if things are really like what Liu Shishi said, it is not unacceptable, let's take a look at the conditions proposed by News Corp first.

The two had a simple breakfast, sorted out the relevant documents, and came to the Fox company building, compared to Warner's open office environment, the Fox company is much more luxurious, typical of the British company's style, up and down are distinct, everyone is dressed in suits and leather shoes, and their heads are held high.

Under the leadership of two staff members, Gu Xiaofan and Liu Shishi came to the indoor swimming pool on the 27th floor of the Fox Building.

Edward was chatting and laughing with a group of people, who were sitting next to the pool with an old man with white hair and sunglasses in his pajamas, and a middle-aged man with a hat and a directorial style.

Edward saw them coming, stood up and welcomed: "Brother Xiaofan, Miss Liu, you are finally here, come and sit." ”

The two people also got up to say hello, Gu Xiaofan was slightly surprised, because he had already recognized that the white-haired and sunglasses old man was the "father of superheroes" Stan Lee, could it be that Edward really wanted to give the two of them important roles in the reboot series of "X-Men"?

If so, this collaboration is really honest.

Edward first introduced the middle-aged white director: "This is the British film master Matthew Vaughn, you should know Matthew, he is the producer of "Two Big Smoking Guns", "Kidnapping and Robbery", and the director of "X-Men: The First War", this is Stan Lee, I don't need to introduce more." ”

Matthew just glanced at the two of them lightly, and said modestly: "In front of Director Gu, I am not a master of film, and I have never won an Oscar." ”

Stan Lee next to him laughed, "You're welcome, you two did a good job." ”

Liu Shishi and Gu Xiaofan saw that the British director Matthew, who is the director of the "X-Men" series and the producer of the legendary British director Guy Ritchie, admired him very much, and hurriedly greeted him politely.

But Matthew was always a little arrogant about them, not at all like Edward was so affectionate with them.

Stan Lee even treats them as little actors who come to play roles, Gu Xiaofan has just emerged in Hollywood as a director, but this time he came as an actor, so he has no status at all.

Gu Xiaofan and Liu Shishi thought in their hearts that Edward forced them to give up two important roles, and it was normal for the director and the original author of the comic to be unhappy, just sitting on the side.

However, they also saw that Stan Lee and Matthew were obviously much more important than the two of them in Edward's heart, but he did not forget to pour wine for the two of them, and said with a smile:

"This is a Mexican Omega silver dragon made from the tequila of Harrisgow Highlands, steeped for 24 hours before the juice is squeezed and fermented with juice and sugar."

The two of them were not interested in these famous wines, and could only pretend to enjoy them, but in the eyes of great connoisseurs like Matthew and Stan Lee, it was obvious that they did not know how to taste wine at all, and they both smiled meaningfully.

Gu Xiaofan and Liu Shishi are both actors, and they are the best at observing the characters, where can they not see the contempt in each other's eyes...... I can only hold back my anger in my heart.

At this time, I listened to Stan Lee: "At the end of this year, Cameron's crazy man's "Avatar" will finally be released, and this time Fox should be able to win the first box office result among the six major this year." ”

Matthew also said on the side: "Next year, when the "X-Men" series is restarted and released in the summer, I think we will always have an advantage in the big six, but I'm afraid that Warner's new Batman series from Nolan will not be too bad at the box office." ”

Edward said confidently: "Don't worry, if it goes well, at the beginning of next year, we will take control of Warner, and there is no need to worry about this......"

Saying that, he turned his head to Gu Xiaofan and said: "This time, thanks to Director Gu, it has dealt a big blow to Abel Warner's momentum, and the board of directors has begun to be dissatisfied with him. ”

Gu Xiaofan listened and said secretly in his heart, News Corp really wants to annex Warner, and it is using his knife to kill people......

At this time, I saw the heated swimming pool, the handsome guys and beauties playing all got up, and I saw Lily and a brown-haired beauty with a healthy figure and a sunny smile, chatting and laughing intimately.

The brown-haired girl has a very good temperament, a plump and fitted body, and she is completely a beauty in the eyes of Europeans and Americans.

What's more important is that her peculiar confidence and intimacy are far more than the charm of her appearance.

Liu Shishi quickly recognized her.

Jennifer Lawrence...... Winner of the Best Newcomer Award at the Venice Film Festival in '08...... is only 17 years old, and her acting skills are not very good, is she also an actor in "X-Men" this time?

At this time, the first to stand up was the director Matthew, who kindly stood up to give way to Jennifer and smiled:

"Come on, little demon girl~ don't catch a cold, you can now maintain your health for ten years for this role."

Lily also hurriedly put on a towel for Jennifer, looking very concerned, the two are obviously best friends, whispering a few words of laughter, not to mention more affection, Lily greeted Stan Lee, but didn't notice Gu Xiaofan and Liu Shishi at all.

After hearing the sentence "Little Demon Girl" Liu Shishi's face was pale, she knew that things were completely different from what she imagined, and the "important role in "X-Men" that Lily said was not a "Demon Girl" at all, but in addition to "Demon Girl", this movie also has a female government agent and a little more important role in the White Queen......

But these two characters can't compare with the "Demon Girl......

In the hearts of these people, even if she has such a big bargaining chip that can annex Warner, is she not as good as such a 17-year-old newcomer?

Gu Xiaofan looked at Liu Shishi's lost expression, very sorry for her, but didn't know how to comfort her, her "friend" Lily obviously just treated her as a small person.

Seeing that Liu Shishi's expression was wrong, Edward hurriedly came over and said softly, "Miss Liu, are you not feeling well?" ”

Lily smiled beside her, "It must have been too tiring to walk yesterday while shopping." Like her new best friend Jennifer explained:

"When I went shopping with her yesterday and tried on clothes, I was really scared, she was really thin, like she came out of a refugee camp, Chinese girls are so thin."

Seeing Lily and Jennifer smiling affectionately, as if no one was around, Gu Xiaofan of course knew that Lily was just recruiting the two of them as subordinates, not partners at all, and for this Jennifer, she regarded it as a newcomer who focused on training.

Matthew and Stan Lee share the same view.

The lost expression in Liu Shishi's eyes flashed away, and he laughed out and said: "Alas, who called us China a developing country, we can't eat enough, and it's far worse than the black area in the United States." ”

Lily was originally a social expert, but when she heard her unhappy tone, she said apologetically: "Shi Shi, I'm just joking, if you make you unhappy, I'll apologize to you, I'm really sorry......"

Saying this, it makes people feel that Liu Shishi is narrow-minded, and Matthew and Stan Lee both have a disdainful look on the way out.

In their minds, they feel that Liu Shishi is just a young Chinese actor, and Lily Murdoch is not a high-level figure at all, and it is simply too physical to lose his temper here.

Only Edward really values the strength of Black Feather Studio, and hurriedly said: "This time Black Feather Studio won three Oscars, but it is the most powerful cutting-edge force in Hollywood, and our cooperation can be described as a strong alliance." ”

Matthew was originally a little unconvinced Gu Xiaofan in his heart, and said with a smile next to him: "This year is a small year for movies, there are really no good films, Director Gu is indeed lucky." ”

As soon as they said this, Gu Xiaofan and Liu Shishi's faces immediately sank, which clearly meant that their Black Feather Studio, it was nothing great to win the Oscar this time.

Lily also noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "I don't think so, there are only three works as strong as "Rejuvenation", and the competition is still quite fierce this year." ”

Stan Lee said with a smile next to him: "I heard that many Chinese voted and directly voted for "The Undertaker" as the best picture, which is indeed a very interesting way of publicity, fortunately, the Oscars are not an All-Star Game, just rely on fans to vote, or Chinese fans vote for one person, but I am afraid that there will be nothing else in the future." ”

Edward was observing the words and expressions beside him, and knew that there was something wrong with everyone's atmosphere, so he hurriedly said:

"In any case, Black Feather Studio already has a certain amount of influence within Warner, as long as they control those under Old Jett, we can both take over Warner together......"

At this time, Gu Xiaofan and Liu Shishi's mobile phones vibrated at the same time, it was a text message from Chen Keer, and the content of the text message was very short: "The negotiation is successful, and "Game of Thrones" can be established." ”

At this time, Liu Shishi glanced at Gu Xiaofan as if asking, of course Gu Xiaofan knew this
