"Huh, Alan Rosenberg?" After Scarlett reacted, she did raise her eyebrows and looked at Lei Ting in disbelief, which meant to say, "Okay, you also lied to me with Li Xiaole?" ”

Seeing her like this, Lei Ting didn't bother to explain, and directly stuffed the phone into her ear.

"Hi~~ Alan Rosenberg? I'm Marilyn Monroe~~" Scarlett didn't panic, her face was calm, and she deliberately looked at the person on the other end of the phone very provocatively.

"Marilyn Monroe?" Alan Rosenberg clearly didn't understand the situation.

Listening to Alan Rosenborg's unique hoarse voice coming from the microphone, Scarlett was stunned for a moment, and immediately recognized the voice of the chairman of the actors' union, who was known for his strictness, and was so frightened that she quickly pushed the phone to Li Xiaole. "I'm sorry, Mr. Rosenberg, but my niece was joking with you again." Li Xiaole took the phone with a smile and said.

Seeing Li Xiaole and Alan Rosenberg talking about something on their mobile phones, and taking advantage of themselves by the way, Scarlett couldn't help but turn her head angrily and glared at Lei Ting and said, "Ray! You're deliberately teasing me, aren't you? You know it's true, Alan Rosenberg, and you're still letting me listen to the phone!? ”

"Of course, don't you believe it?" Lei Ting took out a cigarette and looked at Scarlett with a smile in those evil eyes, but as soon as she lit it, the landline on the desk rang again, so she could only frown and walk over to pick it up.

"This is Black Pearl Lianmei...... Well, Mr. Michael Ated of the Directors Guild? Lei Ting made a gesture to Li Xiaole with a calm face, indicating that this call was very important, and Li Xiaole, who was dealing with the chairman of the actors' union, could only make the gesture of "you will deal with it". Lei Ting could only helplessly take a pen and paper and write down the number of Mr. Michael Atted, vice chairman of the directors' union......

Really, the presidents of these unions are really quick to react, and the press conference that was held in the morning reacted so quickly......

Seeing that the two of them were busy negotiating with the two major trade unions and had no time to pay attention to her, Scarlett was already stunned in place, completely speechless, she suddenly felt that Li Xiaole's bragging just now may not be an exaggeration, Li Xiaole is making such a fuss today, "Iron Man" will not be a box office hit, but it is indeed greatly increasing his own influence, maybe this kid can really mix well in the three major trade unions......

At the same time, in the MGM building, Canon in the office was frowning, smoking the cigarette in his hand with a depressed expression, and looking down to study the financial statements of the United American Black Pearl on the table.

"Did they really get a loan of more than 300 million?" Kanon turned his head and asked Holkin, the head of the finance department, with a complicated expression.

"Yes...... It has been fully verified, and Luen Mei Black Pearl has indeed reached an agreement with Citibank, Bank Negara, and Express Bank, and has obtained a total of 31.3 billion loans. The head of the finance department nodded.

"Luen Mei is worth so much money now...... For the first time, a confused look appeared on Canon's angular face, and outsiders only saw Li Xiaole's desperate adventure, but Canon, the real power figure of MGM, felt a deep fear of this, and was able to mortgage 300 million yuan in the bank, that is, the valuation of Lianmei, a subsidiary of MGM, has reached at least 300 million...... When Li Xiaole came, Lianmei was almost an empty shell, how much time did it take......

And if Iron Man succeeds? What are the consequences? Perhaps Luen Mei's market value will rise, and if one day the valuation of Luen Mei exceeds the value of its parent company, MGM, which exceeds the value of its parent company, MGM, then it means that if MGM goes bankrupt, this subsidiary is likely to become the core of MGM's equity.

According to this possibility, that is, after MGM went bankrupt a few years later, he could no longer play the trick of "reselling MGM" to make money, but was likely to be swallowed up by Li Xiaole, a Chinese kid...... His deployment for so many years has been in vain?

Just thinking about this possibility made Canon feel a chill rise all over his body.

"Holkin~! Are you sure with the Big Six? Are you sure they won't let Iron Man be released in their theaters!? Canon suddenly lost control, and his tone trembled a little as he looked at the head of the finance department and asked.

"Yes, none of the 30,000 screens under the six major groups will release "Iron Man", and Lianmei can only fight for the remaining 10,000 screens, according to the proportion, they only have a maximum of 5,000 screens that can be released at the same time, and it is almost impossible for "Iron Man" to exceed 200 million box office." The head of the finance department spoke in a firm and authentic tone.

Hearing this result, Canon breathed a sigh of relief...... It seems that he is too worried, Li Xiaole has obviously walked into the abyss of no return, how can he turn over...... If God wants to destroy a man, he must first make him crazy, but when a madman goes mad, he does make people feel frightened......

On the second day of the "Iron Man" press conference, almost all authoritative American media reported the news, with the "Los Angeles Times" headline "Impulsive Idealists" and the Wall Street Journal using "Chinese movie fanatics trying to subvert Hollywood": to highlight Li Xiaole's performance yesterday.

And the most fierce rhetoric against Li Xiaole is CBS TV's "Cronkite Incident Live" program. "Can Li Xiaole's bankrupt "Iron Man" get a box office of 3.5 billion?" This question is the theme of this episode of the talk show.

"Well, he's very popular with young people right now, and many fans see him as the savior of Neo in The Matrix, but does he really have the ability?"

"The King of the Scene" Cronkite was at the scene and disclosed some details of Li Xiaole's return home after the press conference, and the program broadcast the footage of Scarlett entering Li Xiaole's apartment late at night.

"Obviously, the Chinese director's bombastic behavior at the press conference has become his capital for dating beautiful stars, now let's listen to his arrogant remarks......" Cronkite said with a smile to the camera, and the director then broadcast a vague recording of Scarlett and Li Xiaole.

"You don't have a fever, do you? Did you just say that you were going to build your own shili in the three unions of screenwriters, directors, and actors? ”

"I weishenme can't? First; I have had a strong desire for film and television since I was a child, and I love all the links, which is the origin.

Secondly; As an adult, I have worked as an actor, director, producer, screenwriter, and each of them is quite accomplished, which is a ...... strength."

This conversation is a mutual ridicule between friends, but after CBS eavesdropped, he cut off his head and tail, and after he released it, it completely gave people the image that Li Xiaole was an ambitious conspirator.

After releasing this recording, Cronkite made a summary evaluation on the show with a little ridicule:

"Li Xiaole is obviously a master of going bankrupt to pick up girls, but I guarantee with my decades of experience as a journalist, no matter how much money Li Xiaole invests in "Iron Man", this movie will not reach 300 million box office, if there is really a miracle, I Cronkite can go and kiss the ass of the donkey to give him daoqian, of course, I don't think he will become the second Yao Ming~~"

Of course, the reporter's eavesdropping is illegal, so the program only said that the recording was "provided by relevant personnel", and did not evaluate the authenticity of the recording, and the sound quality sampling rate was too low to be used as conclusive evidence.

But this recording was immediately reprinted by a number of online media, regardless of whether these details are true or false? Did Li Xiaole really say that? Or is it their fabrication out of thin air? Fans naturally don't know, but gossip news has always been "believe it, and if you don't believe it, you don't have it".

There are not a few people who choose to believe, a newcomer director actually wants to become a representative of the three major unions in Hollywood? Just with that superhero movie "Iron Man"? If it is a normal situation, how arrogant and crazy must this Chinese be to speak like this?

People who hate and hate Li Xiaole have made sarcastic remarks: "There is no sin in being ambitious, but he shouldn't be so self-conscious, Scarlett was teased by him." ", "It's disgusting, Li Xiaole is trying to pick up girls, and he does everything, what is the relationship between Scarlett and him? ”

"Apparently this kid has gone completely crazy, and he just wanted to brag before he went bankrupt, I sympathize with him!"

Of course, there are a large number of people who disdain this, CBS can't prove that Li Xiaole said these words at all, now is the era of gossip flying all over the sky, there are too many things like chasing after the wind and shadows, who can say clearly?

But Li Xiaole knew that this was true, looking at the video views of "Cronkite Incident Scene" on the YouTube network on the computer had exceeded 1.1 million, he felt angry, in the room at that time, there were only three people, him, Lei Ting and Scarlett, no one could be the one exposed to the media, could it be that there was a paparazzi hiding under his bed?

According to Lei Ting's analysis, it is unlikely that his own people will break the news, and the paparazzi will do everything; Or the paparazzi bugged on the partition wall, or they installed a boil sensitivity bugging device outside the wall of the apartment and then took it down afterwards......

After some investigation, Lei Ting also quickly found traces of the bugging device, but the CBS paparazzi were very shrewd and had already taken the bugging away, and they had been monitored for a long time.

For this reason, Lei Ting had to make a big upgrade to the protective facilities of their apartment, and installed more than 20 monitors outside the apartment to monitor the paparazzi who came to make trouble at any time......

In short, this incident made Li Xiaole very unhappy, this news actually didn't hurt him substantially, but it made him feel that his private life had been violated, although he was angry, but he actually knew that there was only one way to fight back against CBS now, make a good movie!
