Beverly Hills, Hollywood, where Shijie film and television celebrities meet.

Rose Manor, Lei Shidong's private mansion, is full of lights.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to introduce to you the producer of Rocky, Stanley. Allow! Lei Shidong walked to the microphone and gently tapped the wine glass in his hand with a fork.

Everyone present fell silent, and all eyes were focused on the stage.

The lights of the whole audience dimmed, and only a bright light slowly hit.

In the sound of magnificent music, Xu Guanwu held Zhao Yazhi and walked over with a smile.

"Wow! It's Asian! Someone in the audience exclaimed.

"Probably Asian-American." Someone speculated.

Because of Xu Guanwu's appearance, there was a commotion at the scene.

“xiexie！” Xu Guanwu came to the stage, smiled and waved his hand to the audience.

At this moment, he feels very good, because the person standing in the audience is the most status and influence in the entertainment industry in the United States.

Among them are well-known Hollywood movie stars, talented directors, discerning producers, managers of brokerage companies who control the lifeblood of stars, vice presidents of eight major film companies, and editors of major newspapers, magazines, radio and television media in the United States.

Together, they have supported the entertainment industry in the United States.

Now Xu Guanwu sees the eyes of these elites, all of them are focused on himself.

It reminded him of the humiliation he had suffered a few months ago when he was still penniless.

Suddenly there was a feeling of raising eyebrows.

"Thank you very much for joining us today, I am deeply honoured. I found that everyone was a little surprised when they saw that I was Asian, and some people speculated that I was Asian-American, but I was actually from Hong Kong. Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

The audience suddenly whispered, and many people showed surprised expressions, as if it was hard to believe that Hong Kong people also know how to make movies.

"I saw a lot of people with surprised expressions, as if to say do you Hong Kong people also understand movies? Yes, we get it! It has been nearly 70 years since the birth of Hong Kong films. Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"However, compared to Hollywood movies, our Hong Kong movies are still very immature, and we still need to learn from you." Xu Guanwu smiled, "That's why I'm here!" ”

"Xiexie, everyone has taught me so much!" Xu Guanwu Zuihou bowed deeply, which made everyone in the audience feel a little more good about this uninvited guest from the East.

……

After the speech, Xu Guanwu, under the guidance of Lei Shidong, met with the guests present, which can be regarded as the most preliminary contact.

Among them, the people from the eight major film companies saw Xu Guanwu, and their faces were a little uncomfortable.

It was because they were too hard that Xu Guanwu finally chose to avoid them and trade directly with Lei Shidong, a cinema company. They lost tens of millions of box office shares in vain.

Xu Guanwu faced them at this moment, although he was already happy in his heart, and he couldn't wait to say a few words to mock him, but in the end he couldn't help but say nothing.

He has only produced a blockbuster film now, and he has just established himself in Hollywood, and he has not yet established a solid foundation.

The eight major film companies have been in business for at least 50 years and have established a dense network of relationships throughout the United States. is the current Xu Guanwu who has no way to contend with it.

Say a few sarcastic words, there is no other use than to be happy. On the contrary, it will also anger the eight major film companies, in case someone makes some tricks behind their backs, Xu Guanwu doesn't know how he died.

Xu Guanwu generously took over the unpleasant chapter, chatted and laughed with the people of the eight major film companies, and also made them feel a little better face, and suddenly felt that this Oriental person did not seem to be so hateful.

Xu Guanwu was also introduced by Lei Shidong to meet with the editor of the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times.

The editor was very interested in the story of Hui Guanwu, a Hong Kong native who came to Hollywood alone to invest in films, and achieved great success, and wanted to do an exclusive interview with Hui.

Xu Guanwu also realized that this was a very haode propaganda method for himself.

The Los Angeles Times is the largest folio newspaper in the western United States, and its influence and status are second only to the New York Times and the Washington Post, and it is known as the third largest newspaper in the United States.

Xu Guanwu also wants to increase his popularity in Hollywood, so that he can participate in investing in Hollywood movies in the future and establish his position in the American entertainment industry.

……

Three days later, the Los Angeles Times published an interview with Xu Guanwu in the entertainment section.

"The Mysterious Oriental conquers Hollywood with the American dream!" It was the headline edited by the Los Angeles Times, but Mr. Xu felt that the word "conquest" was inappropriate, too aggressive, and would make sensitive Americans feel threatened, and insisted that he change the word to a neutral one.

So the editor thought for a moment and switched to the slightly humble word "please."

With the continuous rise of the box office of "Rocky", miracles have been created repeatedly, not only Stallone has become the most popular movie star, but also Xu Guanwu has become the most discerning investor in Hollywood.

In the 70s, news was not well developed, and the American audience did not know much about Asia, and they saw it as a mysterious and conservative shijie.

Therefore, when Xu Guanwu, a Hong Kong native, appeared on the pages of major newspapers and media out of thin air, it aroused people's great curiosity.

He is like Bruce Lee a year ago, becoming the representative of the Oriental people in people's imagination.

However, unlike Bruce Lee, Xu Guanwu can't do kung fu, which makes Americans somewhat disappointed.

……

One month and ten days after its release, "Rocky" was officially released, and the box office accumulated to 140 million US dollars, which is 20 million US dollars higher than the previous life.

Xu Guanwu speculated that the media may have reported him sharply, which also stimulated the box office to a certain extent.

And filmmakers from the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Finland, Brazil, Peru and other European and American countries have also approached Xu Guanwu to obtain the distribution rights of "Rocky".

Xu Guanwu knew that his negotiation ability was not yet mature, so he specially asked Lei Shidong to send someone to assist.

After a series of negotiations, the overseas distribution of "Rocky" also sold for more than 30 million dollars.

With a huge amount of cash in his hands, such a large sum of money that he has never seen in his life, Xu Guanwu feels very heroic.

The continuous reports of newspapers and media have made Xu Guanwu famous, and at the same time, they have naturally attracted many producers to seek investment from Xu Guanwu.

According to Lei Shidong's words, it is like a shark that smells blood.

In Hollywood, there are film talents from all over the world, and countless directors, actors, and screenwriters are looking for opportunities here.

Therefore, some people's dreams come true, and some people lose their souls.

Xu Guanwu met with the producers who came to look for investment one by one, and the synopsis of the script was also full of nearly hundreds of copies.

"Ah Wu, when are we going back to Hong Kong?" Zhao Yazhi looked at the moon in the sky and asked, "I want to go back." ”

"What? Are you not used to staying in the United States? Xu Guanwu heard Zhao Yazhi's words with a hint of sadness, and couldn't help but walk up to her lovingly and asked.

"Well, I'm not used to eating and lodging, it's okay to come and play once in a while." Zhao Yazhi frowned slightly.

"Okay, wait until I'm done reviewing this batch of scripts and see if there's anything worth investing in. If you have one, stay for another week at most; If not, then buy a ticket back tomorrow. Xu Guanwu nodded.
