Chapter 373: The Face of the Predator
Taxi, Liu La followed the three of them towards the place that Zhang predator said. The place www.biquge.info the other party said is called Baishanlou, which is a well-known restaurant in Chinatown, opened by Guangdong immigrants, and the taste is really good, it has to be regarded as a restaurant in the Bay Area Chinese cuisine, so there are often many people who come here.
Liu La has also been here twice, once with Xie Zhen, the owner of this restaurant is also a peripheral member of Hongmen, when he first came abroad, he was taken care of by Hongmen, and Xie Zhen's cooking skills were learned from him. But now that the boss is older, he rarely shows up, and his son is running the restaurant.
Not to mention the son, who grew up with these Hongmen children when he was a child, although he didn't get started, but every year on the three festivals and two birthdays, he would also bring gifts to the old man's house to join in the fun, and he was no different from his own people. Another time Liu La came, it was after Aunt Gu's family of four people reunited, the old man set up a banquet here to celebrate.
This restaurant is on the edge of Chinatown, very close to the filming site of Liu La's crew, and it is only a few minutes' walk away. finally rushed back, but before the butt was hot, Liu La followed the three of them back the same way.
Sitting in the car and listening to the conversation between the three of them, Liu La did have some understanding of this legendary Zhang predator.
Zhang Da Predator's real name is Zhang Quan, there is no such number one person in the entertainment industry, and he is also recently, after Liu Ra came to the United States for the second time, he suddenly appeared in the domestic circle.
At the beginning, this person was a wealthy Chinese businessman, a Hollywood film investor, owned shares in DreamWorks, and had cooperative relations with several major film companies, and his connections were amazing.
At first, no one believed him, there are too many liars in the film industry these days, just a few people with spare money can register a leather bag film company, and then pull the tiger skin to pull the banner, and tell yourself how awesome it is, the purpose is not actually to make a movie, but mainly to deceive a few female college students with insufficient brains to play.
Obviously, when this Zhang Quan and Zhang predator first appeared, he was also regarded as a liar by the people, and the difference is nothing more than that he boasted that he was more bullish and sounded more unreliable.
But soon, this Zhang predator slapped people who didn't trust him in the face with practical actions. He helped several big domestic directors to connect their works that were originally only released in Asia to North American theaters, and several films were given a lot of screens, even more than the number of big screens when Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu" was released in North America a few years ago.
You must know that the movie can be released in North America and Hollywood, which is the dream of many movie stars. There is even a film director who is the biggest coffee in China, in order to let the film be released in North America, took the initiative to give money to the distributor in North America, begging the other party to use the money to buy the film's North American distribution channel, but in the end he was deceived and lost his personal wealth.
It can be said that this matter has become the biggest problem of domestic film directors, and they desperately hope that the movie can be launched in North America, but they are worried about encountering scammers. Now that Zhang Da has finally made such a way, and it looks more reliable, the directors and film companies have gone crazy.
In just a few months, this Zhang predator has become a well-known boss in the domestic entertainment industry, attending the top parties in the entertainment industry, and the people accompanying him are always the bosses of film companies, or well-known movie stars and well-known directors. In the end, there was a scandal that he was actually the fourth boss of DreamWorks. He neither admitted nor denied it, casting a veil of mystery over the matter.
CCTV six sets of new programs are launched, so I naturally want to interview some weighty characters. Coincidentally, when this photographer Xiaokang was recording in another group before, he had contact with this Zhang predator, so he tentatively contacted Zhang Da Predator, who had returned to the United States, but he didn't expect it to be true in the end.
So there is today's file.
Listening to the content of their words, Liu La couldn't help but wonder a little, after coming to the United States for so long, why have I never heard of a filmmaker named Zhang Quan? The fourth boss of DreamWorks, the person who spread this is really not afraid of flashing his tongue, what will he be like if he is ignorant?
But if you want to say that he is a liar, it should not be, there are so many filmmakers in China, it is still possible to say that one or two let him be deceived. It's impossible for everyone to be deceived and treat him as a guest, which is unrealistic. Liu La couldn't figure out what was going on, so she decided to see what was going on.
It didn't take much effort, and soon, the car was in the area where Chinatown is located. At night, this place is very lively, the car is not passable at all, a few people got out of the car and walked to the door of Baishanlou. Before getting out of the car, Xiaokang had already called Zhang Dajiao, and the other party said that he had also arrived and was walking to Chinatown.
After a few people arrived, they waited for a while at the door, about three or four minutes, a black Toyota business car broke through the flow of people, and all the way to the horn "Didi Didi" appeared in the field of vision, and finally after "a lot of hard work", finally stopped at the door of Baishan Building.
As soon as the car was parked, the driver quickly ran down and opened the door of the back seat. Almost at the same moment, a man of about forty years old, wearing a big red leather jacket and a mohican head, stepped out of the car.
"Yo, Mr. Zhang, you're here." As soon as he saw the man walking down, the photographer hurriedly greeted him.
The man shook his hand with a big grin; "Well-off, hello."
Immediately afterwards, he shook hands with others and greeted them, including Liu La, saying that he was very welcome to Liu La's arrival.
After a formulaic greeting ceremony, he invited everyone to walk towards the restaurant. However, as soon as they walked to the door, they didn't even wait to enter the door, but the doorman at the door suddenly stopped them: "I'm sorry gentlemen, our restaurant has been booked for today, and there is no place to receive guests for the time being, I'm very sorry." ”
Suddenly stopped by the doorman, Zhang Da predator looked a little embarrassed and a little annoyed: "Don't talk nonsense to me, I know that your restaurant has a reserved private room, I am your boss's friend, just give me a place in the box." ”
"Boss's friend?" The doorman was a little puzzled, thinking that Zhang Da Huang was very eye-catching, and he had never seen this person with the boss. Take a closer look, hey, the doorman found the willow spicy behind, he could see the spicy, it was with the old man Xie An. Well, they didn't lie, they must be friends with the boss.
"I'm sorry gentlemen, please come in." The doorman stooped down and took a step back, saying sorry words in his mouth as he got out of the way.
Zhang Da predator still felt that his face was useful, so he walked in with a few people with his head held high.
The cameraman on the side Xiaokang also praised it: "Look, if they are Hollywood predators, they have to sit in the box reserved by the boss for dinner, and they have a face-to-face ......" (to be continued.) )
