After the symposium, most of the businessmen from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan were on the forum. The sea continued to investigate, and some people chose to leave and continue to stay on it. A week later, this social circle rapidly expanded three times, and the small businessmen from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan scattered all over the country were moved by the wind, and went to Shanghai to join the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan business clubs, after a little understanding of the rules of the club, they immediately registered and became a new member of the club.

On September 15, Wang Zichuan sent off two Hong Kong businessmen who came to visit, and after some kind words and encouragement, he sent them to the door of the Peace Hotel before turning around.

"Dear King! I have to admit that you are really busy, every time I come here these days, I see you meeting guests! Spielberg was half complaining and half joking, since Wang Zichuan participated in that symposium, it seems to be a different person.

Wang Zichuan was also helpless about this kind of life, he was even busier than in Hong Kong, and said depressedly: "Do you think I want to do this, I talk to a group of businessmen every day, but I can't help it, who makes me their leader!" ”

Spielberg quipped: "Wang, you just quit this president, it's a thankless job, now that China's economy is so backward, God only knows when it will develop." ”

Wang Zichuan walked back and said, "You don't understand, maybe you get up tomorrow and this place will change." ”

"I'm talking to you seriously, but you're fooling around with this reason!" Seeing that Wang Zichuan was unwilling to resign as chairman of the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Business Alliance, Spielberg stopped persuading each other and said: "Dear Wang, I came today to ask you for a favor. ”

Wang Zichuan was puzzled: "Help? The government is not already approving you on it. Is the sea filmed? ”

Spielberg argued: "There is no promise yet, and negotiations are underway now." ”

Wang Zichuan muttered, "It's another trouble. ”

"What did you say, king?" Spielberg hurried closer.

Wang Zichuan said helplessly: "It's nothing, I mean." Let's find a quiet place to talk. ”

Spielberg smiled: "I can't ask for it, the restaurant above your room is good, and we chatted while drinking coffee." ”

Wang Zichuan knew that Spielberg was talking about the eighth-floor restaurant, so he turned around and smiled, saying that he had no opinion.

Spielberg paused, smiled playfully, and reminded: "Do you want to invite Miss Sophie over, she will be back to the United States the day after tomorrow, and she is very close to you these days." ”

"She's asleep right now!" Wang Zichuan's face was hot, except for meeting guests these days. The main energy is to deal with Sophie Marceau, a little slut, during which Yu Hui and Gai Lili came to him separately, but after being teased by Sophie, the two of them did not dare to come out in the art academy.

Spielberg wondered, "How do you know she's sleeping?" ”

"Guess!" Wang Zichuan was embarrassed to explain that he couldn't tell Spielberg that Sophie Marceau was sleeping in his room.

"Since you don't want to, forget it." Spielberg shrugged, he thought that Wang Zichuan didn't want to see Sophie Marceau, now at three o'clock in the afternoon, who would sleep at this time.

Maybe it's not dinner yet. There were few customers in the restaurant, so Wang Zichuan and Spielberg found a table by the window and sat down and ordered a cup of coffee each.

"Nice view!" Spielberg looked out the window and said, "Do you know why I like this as the setting for Empire of the Sun?" ”

Wang Zichuan looked at the low-rise buildings on both sides of the Huangpu River. With a flash of inspiration, he said with a smile: "It must be because the buildings here are no different from fifty years ago, restoring the war in history." ”

Spielberg excitedly said: "You're right, what I want to do is to restore the war fifty years ago!" ”

Wang Zichuan smiled: "Let's talk about the trouble you encountered first." ”

Spielberg took a sip of his coffee. "Wang, do you remember what you said last week, you said that you would ask the army to cooperate with the filming of the movie." ”

"This should be discussed between you and the government!" Wang Zichuan's eyes widened. Spielberg called him over just to discuss the matter?

Spielberg was at a loss and explained: "You know, I'm an American, and to the Chinese government, I'm a Westerner, and the Chinese government is very wary of the West, although the Sino-US relationship is in a honeymoon period, in short, ......."

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Wang Zichuan didn't understand what Spielberg meant.

Spielberg said honestly: "My application for military assistance from the mainland has been rejected, so I want to ask you for help." ”

Wang Zichuan was puzzled: "How could you refuse?" Mayor Wu is very talkative, even if he refuses to send the army, he will send a few armed police. ”

"What is the Armed Police?" Spielberg doesn't know much about China.

Wang Zichuan explained: "The military is equivalent to the U.S. Army, and the armed police is equivalent to the military of a state in the United States, and the two have different command systems, the army is directly under the jurisdiction of the state, and the armed police are under the command of the local government. ”

"The armed police can too!" Spielberg preliminarily agreed, and said: "The venue has been found, and the crew is ready as soon as they are ready, waiting for the role of the Japanese army to be in place." ”

Wang Zichuan asked, "How many people are you going to apply?" ”

"Five thousand!" Spielberg opened his mouth widely, for him, the more Japanese troops there were, the more they could restore that war.

Wang Zichuan shook his head and said: "Absolutely not, five thousand people are too many, equivalent to half a division of troops, no wonder people refused, by the way, who did you apply to?" ”

Spielberg said, "The section chief who was invited to the last banquet was Dr. Ji Deyou. ”

"Kideyu? How could it be him? Wang Zichuan understood why Spielberg was deflated.

Spielberg complained: "He was a contact sent by the government, and the bureaucracy was so heavy that after every negotiation, he had to go back and have a meeting to discuss, and now nothing has been approved except for the approval of the venue." ”

"Alas!" Wang Zichuan sighed, no matter how capable the Yankees are in China, it is difficult to move an inch if they don't understand the national conditions, this Spielberg is also a famous director in Hollywood, and now he is pinched by a small section chief, if it is him, he can design the official of Ji Deyou in minutes.

"It's on me!"

"Thank you, dear Wang, I am so touched, I will not forget your help to me." Spielberg was grateful, and his hands suddenly grasped Wang Zichuan's right hand......

"Hey! What are you doing! Wang Zichuan hurriedly pulled out his right hand, damn this Spielberg won't have that tendency, what is there to kiss a man's hand.

Spielberg was confused: "Dear Wang, I am really grateful! ”

Wang Zichuan said: "Don't call me dear in the future, it's the best thanks!" ”

Spielberg wondered, "Then what should I call you?" King? ”

Wang Zichuan thought for a while and said, "My friends all call me Ah Chuan, so you can call me that." ”

"Achuan?" Spielberg nodded, although it was a little awkward, but Wang Zichuan was willing to do this, and he had to do it.

"My close friends call me Steven, and you'll call me Steven in the future!" Spielberg said with a smile and officially accepted Wang Zichuan as a close friend.

Wang Zichuan smiled: "Steven, it's called that in the future." ”

Spielberg said, "The king...... Ah Chuan, I have to remind you that the producers have already begun to urge to speed up the process, and we can't delay it any longer. ”

"Don't worry, I'll solve this matter for you tomorrow, how many people do you think are suitable." Wang Zichuan was afraid that Spielberg would open his mouth again, and added: "How much?" ”

Spielberg said: "At least 2,000 people, and I will look for the rest of the tricks locally." ”

"That's right!"

Two thousand soldiers, Wang Zichuan thinks it is feasible, a regiment of men, Mayor Wu should be able to be the master, really can't go to Minister Li, he is the actual person in charge of the Central Ministry of Commerce and Trade, Spielberg makes movies in China, invests tens of millions of US dollars, and it is also a part of commerce and trade, doesn't China want foreign exchange, this is the best reason.

Wang Zichuan is so enthusiastic about helping Spielberg, and he has some careful thoughts, if Tengfei Entertainment films in the mainland in the future, he will definitely encounter a similar situation, and with the experience of the past, it will be much easier to apply in the future.

Spielberg asked, "How long will it take to get someone?" ”

Wang Zichuan pondered for a moment and replied: "I'll talk to the leaders tomorrow, if they agree, they can apply on the same day, and the instructions can be given in three days at most, and the personnel will be in place within five days, if I don't agree, I have to think of other ways, at least a week." ”

Spielberg breathed a sigh of relief, he could handle a week, and this time could shoot other scenes.

Wang Zichuan waited for a long time, but Spielberg just didn't say anything, and couldn't help reminding: "Steven, if you want me to ask the government for someone, you have to say something, right?" ”

Spielberg wondered, "What does that mean?" ”

Wang Zichuan said depressedly: "Don't you ask someone to do something and not give some benefits?" ”

Spielberg was surprised: "The benefits? It's not that the Chinese Communist Party. Give birth. Is the party very clean? ”

"I'm talking about doing what you like!" Wang Zichuan patted his forehead and explained to the Americans why it was so difficult.

Spielberg said solemnly: "Ah Chuan, what do I have to give?" ”

Wang Zichuan took out a pen and paper and asked, "How much do you plan to invest in this movie?" ”

"Forty million dollars." Spielberg's eyes widened, and he felt a little more confident in Wang Zichuan's trip.

Wang Zichuan put down his pen and reminded: "I build yì you say to exaggerate, such as ...... $100 million. ”

"Oh my God, 100 million dollars, it's not that much, am I crazy, invest 100 million dollars to make a film that I knew wouldn't be a blockbuster, the producer would kill me!" Spielberg hurriedly shook his head in argument. (To be continued......)
