Chapter 440: Rejection and Movie Premiere

Hearing the name of the Hellfire Club, Li Nan looked at Calvin with some surprise.

The Hellfire Club was first founded by Sir Francis in England in the 18th century, and King James I is said to have been involved in the establishment of the club.

In the sixties of the eighteenth century, Hellfire gradually developed into a social club for the elite of British society. The club attracted a large number of members not only as a pastime that challenged the moral notions of the time, but also as a means to strengthen the economic and social position of its members in the UK.

In the eighties of the eighteenth century, a part of the senior members moved to the New York colony, where they formed the new American Hellfire Club. Today, the Hellfire Club is home to some of the richest, most powerful and powerful people in the world.

With the increase in the number of Hellfire Elite members, the threshold for membership has also increased, and now only those who are invited by full members can be eligible to join the club.

Why did Li Nan know so much about the Hellfire Club? That's because he's been invited several times.

As the chairman of one of the six major film companies in the United States, Li Nan is also an American celebrity, but he is still a little inqualified to get an invitation to join the Hellfire Club, but he has other investments.

All the film scripts of War Film Company were proposed by Li Nan and perfected by the screenwriting team, and several films have been produced and released in recent years, such as "Gone with the Wind", "Roman Holiday" and "Singin' in the Rain" and so on.

Each of these films that has been tested by later generations has made Li Nan earn a lot of money, and compared with other film companies, the biggest feature of the war company is that it has never been defeated.

Li Nan invested all his money in camel cigarettes, Coca-Cola, nylon manufacturing plants, and the Calvin Manufacturing Company, the predecessor of the Torola Company.

Only when these companies were just about to start and lacked funds, Li Nan quickly joined with a large amount of funds, and put forward the perfect proposal that as long as the shares are divided, the leadership of the company is not wanted.

Up to now, Li Nan can be said to be sitting at home and earning thousands of dollars every day, so he has won the favor of the Hellfire Club, which is above the top.

In addition to Li Nan, his old friend and No. 1 U.S. arms supplier, Howard Brown. Stark was also invited by the Hellfire Club, but they weren't very interested in the organization.

Although he didn't know how the other party joined the Hellfire Club, Li Nan still didn't want to enter this organization with an unknown purpose, so he politely refused: "Mr. Calvin, I'm sorry, I'm not interested. ”

Even if Li Nan refused, Calvin still persevered and persuaded him: "Mr. Li, you can think about it more." You must know that after joining Hellfire, you can get help from other members, whether it is your business or other needs, there will be a lot of resources to use. ”

Calvin's appearance was a little weird, so Li Nan asked curiously: "As far as I know, there are many people in the United States and even the world who want to join Hellfire. Mr. Calvin, why do you have to waste your invitation on me? ”

"Of course I have my own reasons."

Calvin Huan pointed to the famous ** Ying around him and explained: "It seems that Mr. Li also knows something about Hellfire, so you should also know the relationship between the new member and the introducer who joined the club. It's because I cherish my right to invite that I found someone as capable as you, and it's not worth my energy to waste energy like these wine bags and rice bags here. ”

"Well, Mr. Calvin, thank you for the recognition, but I'm pretty sure I have no interest in Hellfire." Patting Calvin on the shoulder, Li Nan refused again.

Li Nan's impatience was already clearly manifested, so Calvin had no choice but to leave.

In fact, Li Nan didn't tell the truth, he was still a little interested in Hellfire, after all, most of the most powerful and capable elites in the United States were gathered there, which was still very helpful for him to find the whereabouts of the Hydra organization.

But there are pros and cons to everything, Li Nan can now pursue the Hydra Organization privately, but if someone contacts him about this matter, then he and his subordinates and friends will be in danger, so he doesn't want to join for the time being until he knows the true identity and purpose of the members of the Hellfire Club.

The general flow of the premiere was similar, and after the vice president of MGM stood on the stage and said a bunch of nonsense, all the guests were a little drowsy, and the whole speaking stage, that is, the heroine of the movie, Whitney, was eye-catching.

Next, the film began to be screened, and Li Nan also enjoyed this movie from the 40s.

According to Li Nan's vision, the actors and directors of this movie are first-class, and the investment is not small, but the script provided by MGM is too deductive, and Whitney, no matter how beautiful it is, is just a good-looking vase.

Whitney's film would have been a masterpiece before the advent of War Studios, but now it's different.

As the saying goes, there is no harm if there is no comparison, and American audiences have become extremely high-minded after being influenced by several classic films of War Studios.

Therefore, the film has not been completely finished, and many people present have already foreseen MGM's failure this time.

Garbo is also an excellent actress, and she also saw something wrong in the movie, so she put half of her body against Li Nan and asked in a coquettish voice: "Li, the script you prepared for me won't be like this one, right?" ”

"Hehe, of course not." Li Nan smiled and said confidently.

"Tell me about it, okay?" Garbo hugged Li Nan's arm and sprinkled coquettishly.

Faced with the beauties' pleas, Li Nan generously talked about the next movie prepared for her.

"Nicky is a well-known playboy who knows little about art. Once, he met Tyri on a cruise ship. After a series of chance encounters, a friendship is formed. Later, the two went to visit Ferrante's grandmother in a small village in France, and gradually fell in love with beautiful and pure music on a beautiful and bright afternoon. Both parties feel guilty about each other's feelings because both are already engaged to someone else. Before parting, the two agreed to reunite on the top floor of the Empire State Building in New York in six months if both of them were able to successfully end their respective engagements and start a new business......

After talking about the movie plot for a long time, Li Nan, who felt a little thirsty, stopped, and wanted to reach out to take the champagne on the table to moisten his throat, but he didn't expect the people around him to pick up the wine glass first and hand it to him.

Li Nan looked along this fair, slippery, and seductive jade arm, and a pretty face with a charming smile appeared in front of his eyes.

Whitney didn't know when she came here, but she admired from the bottom of her heart: "Mr. Lee, this story of yours is so good, is this specially for Miss Garbo?" ”

"Thank you." Li Nan politely thanked him after taking the wine glass, then nodded and said, "That's right, this is a new script for Garbo." ”
