When he finished speaking, it was Chen Xueqian's turn to take the stage to speak.
For this kind of big scene, Chen Xueqian said that his legs were still a little shaky.
It's just that he was born crazy by nature, and the more nervous he is, the more he can't love the boundless nonsense.
After walking onto the stage with trembling legs, Chen Xueqian took out a speech in a matter-of-fact manner.
Then, while everyone was watching, he put the note away again.
"Originally, I was going to have a lot of self-bragging words yesterday, but I just listened to President Vaitar's speech in the audience, and I think these words that make people blush can be said once!"
After Chen Xueqian finished speaking, there was a burst of good-natured laughter from the audience.
Chen Xueqian also laughed a few times before continuing: "First of all, I would like to thank all the guests present, and then thank President Vaitar again for his hospitality. ”
"To be honest, I was a little bit intimidated by what it was like today. Although everyone here has some business dealings with me to some extent! ”
Speaking of this, Chen Xueqian paused deliberately, and the guests below couldn't help but pay attention, all a little curious about how they could have business dealings with him?
Chen Xueqian saw that everyone's attention was attracted, so he continued with a smile: "Don't look at me with a suspicious face, I have really watched your company's movies." ”
Suddenly, there was another burst of laughter below.
Waiting for the laughter below to subside again, Chen Xueqian continued: "I was relieved to see everyone laughing at me, but I was actually worried that it would be cold." After all, my joke is not very clever. ”
The crowd laughed again.
"To be honest, I didn't expect to be so popular here, considering that in my hometown, when I told people that I had published a book, they would look at me like a fool."
Laughter rang out from the audience again.
"Okay, thank you again for coming, I'm afraid you'll be hungry!" After speaking, Chen Xueqian stepped off the podium.
Back in the crowd, Vaitar stepped forward and hugged him. began to introduce him to the many celebrities who were present.
Among them, Chen Xueqian noticed the most Christopher Nolan, who had just become famous at this time, and the Chinese director Li An.
And the senior management of several major film companies, Chen Xueqian also paid special attention. When introduced to Universal Pictures, Chen Xueqian knew for the first time that the elusive Julie was actually a deputy general manager.
Perhaps sensing Chen Xueqian's curiosity about her, Vaitar explained to him with a smile: "It's no surprise that her father is a director of Universal, and she plays more of a spokesperson role. ”
Chen Xueqian nodded when he heard this. This can explain that Julie actually works so hard to live in a five-star hotel for work.
And Julie still didn't change her true colors, and came over when she saw the stitches: "Mr. Vaitar, good evening Mr. Chen!" ”
The two of them laughed equally at this.
Julie couldn't help but grit her teeth at Chen Xueqian's indifference, "What a stingy ghost, he really ignores himself for criticizing his works." It's just abominable. ”
However, she had to compromise and ask for perfection, who let herself have to ask for others!
Therefore, Julie ignored Chen Xueqian's indifference and continued to say: "Mr. Chen, yesterday your script was reported to the company, and the company's professionals are very optimistic about this script, do you think we can talk about it again?" ”
Chen Xueqian said lukewarmly: "I'm sorry, I don't like to work with companies that deny my work. ”
Julie almost suffocated to death when she heard this, and roared in her heart: "Are you so good? Isn't it because of your negotiation skills that your work is degraded? As for being so unrelenting? ”
However, Chen Xueqian was so serious, without a trace of pity, he went straight past her, and continued to follow behind Vaitar and greet celebrities from all walks of life.
Julie could only bite her teeth when she looked at this scene.
When introducing the person in charge of Warner Pictures this time, Chen Xueqian warmly hugged the other party.
"Mr. Henry, I really appreciate your company's Harry Potter series." Chen Xueqian said completely enthusiastically.
David Henry, the manager of Warner Bros., also smiled: "Sam, your novel is so wonderful, if we could, we would love to have the opportunity to bring it to the big screen." ”
"There will be a chance!" Chen Xueqian responded with a smile. Suddenly, the representatives of the other companies on the side were nervous at the same time. This time, everyone's purpose for this time was obvious, they all wanted to win the rights to the film adaptation of what was expected to be the second Harry Potter novel.
Chen Xueqian's signal to Warner made other company representatives nervous at the same time.
Vaitar didn't say a word about this, stood quietly to the side and watched, and waited for Chen Xueqian and Henry to finish greeting before continuing to introduce the guests to Chen Xueqian.
Not far away, Julie watched Chen Xueqian talking and laughing with representatives of film companies one after another, and her heart was almost bleeding.
Yesterday, if she hadn't been clever yesterday and wanted to suppress Chen Xueqian's price with small means, then what would be the matter with these companies now!
However, what she didn't know was that Chen Xueqian was ready to sell more than one script, even if she and Chen Xueqian happily negotiated the contract for the script of "Despicable Me" yesterday, Chen Xueqian still would not give up the opportunity to make friends with these movie tycoons.
By the time Chen Xueqian followed Vaitar around, he already had a stack of business cards in his hand. And his business card has also been put into the pockets of the heads of countless film companies.
After greeting everyone, Chen Xueqian came to the book fan area, thanked them sincerely, and thanked Mu Jiahe again.
The dinner didn't last long, and everyone got up and left after finishing their dinner in a hurry.
After seeing off all the guests, Chen Xueqian also returned to his room.
Bai Feifei followed and walked in.
"Are you going to sell the script to those companies?" Bai Feifei poured him a glass of boiled water and asked.
"The script is definitely going to sell, but how to sell it is very particular!" Chen Xueqian said with some intriguing.
Bai Feifei listened to his words, and immediately knew that this person must have some ghost ideas. However, in view of this person's consistent performance, he knew that he would not answer if he asked at this time, so Bai Feifei simply did not ask him.
"As you can see, today's signing was much more troublesome than we expected. I think it's better to reduce the number of signings. Skipping the topic of script sales, Bai Feifei talked about the safety of the signing meeting with some concern.
Chen Xueqian nodded clearly.
"I understand! I'm not a celebrity, and the reason bantams are looking forward to my book signing is only because American society is too curious about me. By the time I've appeared in front of the media a few times, the mystery is gone, and the signing becomes dispensable. Chen Xueqian said.
"Vaitar did not invite media reporters to today's dinner, probably because he was afraid that there would be some embarrassing scenes that would be difficult to deal with. Tomorrow is your official public appearance in front of the American media, and reporters will certainly be indispensable at that time. Be sure to pay attention to the scale when you answer the questions. If someone makes a fuss about your identity as a Chinese, you must refrain from being humble or arrogant. ”
Bai Feifei continued to discuss some of the things she was worried about with Chen Xueqian.
Chen Xueqian nodded, they had already discussed these earlier, and he also knew it in his heart.
The hostility of the United States towards China is completely ideological and can never be dissolved. And this situation is embodied in personal relationships, which is manifested in the hostility of individuals towards Chinese.
As a Chinese, Chen Xueqian has such a great influence in the United States, and there must be such Americans who jump out to make a big fuss about him, which belongs to the radiation impact of politics on normal business activities, which is inevitable.
But unlike Japan, the United States is at a point where it is wary of China but not particularly concerned. At this time, Americans have the impression that China is still the image of backwardness and poverty that it once had.
It will not be until later generations, when China officially rises, that the United States will truly list China as an adversary.
Therefore, Chen Xueqian is prepared for the difficulties he may encounter tomorrow, but he is not too nervous. (To be continued.) )
