"First of the year, first non-American in nearly twenty years!"

When The Hollywood Reporter's list was freshly released, Michael? Pete happened to be attending a very high-end charity dinner in Los Angeles, and Steve happened to be sitting next to another Hollywood bigwig? Lucas, so he couldn't help it in the middle, so Pete whispered: "It seems like it's only been three years since we last discussed this issue, right?" ”

"Really? How do I remember what seems like two years? ”

Blink, Steve? Lucas sighed secretly.

Whether it is two years or three years, in short, it is a very short period of time, and then that Huaxia person has already rushed from dozens of places on the power list all the way to the first place!

This time, no one seems to have any objections!

Not only because of Laobai's script and the movie adaptation by him were box office hits, but also because his series and picture books continued to sell well, and various adaptation rights were sold vigorously, and Luo Chengtianwang's new album won the annual sales championship and became a big winner on the Grammys!

And......

No one is surprised by this, and even most of the media anticipated the results in advance, which is the most terrifying.

It seems that Lao Bai + Luo Cheng or Lao Bai + Chen Feifei are equal to the annual champion and Grammy, which has become a truth in most people's minds. This can be seen from the fact that after Luo Cheng announced the release date of the album, several European and American celebrities have postponed the release date of the new album for various reasons.

So when Steve, who is ranked eighth? Lucas and Michael, who came in fifth? Pete, when he was still relying on movies to hit this list, there were too many people relying on Lao Bai!

Of course, even if it's only a movie, who can compare to that guy this year?

Think about how many movies with Lao Bai's name won by screenwriters or original books that started with the Chinese New Year at the beginning of last year and ended the last two "Zootopia" and "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"? Three billion dollars? Or four billion?

Concrete numbers Steve? Lucas didn't calculate, but he knew that he could definitely crush the vast majority of the world's film companies, even the Hollywood Big Five!

The strength of one person is as strong as this.

So even if the Hollywood filmmakers are unhappy, they have to hand over the first place in the power list to a Chinese person for the first time, and he is still a Chinese person behind the scenes! Because after seeing last year's results, they know that if they put anyone in front of Laobai, they will inevitably be greeted with endless doubts and damage to the authority of the list......

"It's a pity ......"

After a moment of silence, Steve? Lucas opened his mouth to say two words, and quickly closed his mouth again.

But Michael? Pete already understood what he meant, after all, the news that the big director went to Huaxia last year and met with Laobai in the hotel not only caused an uproar in China, but also attracted the attention of countless people in Hollywood - one of the three directors of Hollywood, and until now he can still make high-grossing movies from time to time, and the other is a miracle screenwriter in Huaxia, who has never missed a time since his debut!

Michael, who was in New York at the time? After Pete saw the news, he almost couldn't wait to give it to Steve? Lucas called and asked for details of their meeting.

Like him, there are executives of several giants and many superstars.

It's just a pity that it's like Steve? Lucas reacts the same now, Michael? Pete was very sorry at the time, because Laobai refused the invitation of the big director. It's just that in addition to regrets, he doesn't feel strange, after all, the requirements of the big director are a bit excessive in his opinion, and it is natural for Lao Bai to refuse.

And then Michael? Pete never expected that after today's list was announced, he would once again have the same emotions.

Regret, plus loss.

As one of Hollywood's current superstars, Michael? Pete's biggest regret is that he couldn't work with Lao Bai once. As he said at the beginning, if you can get together Lao Bai + Michael? Pete + Steve? What will a movie like Lucas's lineup look like? How far can the global box office go?

It's a pity, it's a pity!

"Jingle Bell ......"

Just in Michael? Pete opened his mouth to say something when a soft phone rang in his ear.

"Flutter!"

Hear this familiar voice, Michael? Pete couldn't hold back for a moment, and laughed out loud: "Steve, why do you still use this ringtone?" And I don't feel like I'm shaking when I go to dinner......"

Steve? Lucas moved the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, and quickly turned off the sound of his phone.

Originally, he planned to hang up directly and put away the phone, but after seeing the caller number, he was stunned for a moment, and stood up with a frown: "I'm sorry, I have to answer this call." ”

Michael? Pete didn't care, nodding his head and focusing on the stage in front of him.

Next up for auction is a new work by a famous artist.

Michael? Pete had always been interested in art, so after two rounds of bidding, he bought the painting for $400,000 and received a lot of applause. And at this time, Steve? Lucas walked back from outside, looking odd.

"Steve, what's going on?"

See Steve? After Lucas's expression, Michael? Pete asked casually.

After a moment of silence, Steve? Lucas took a deep breath and said, "Just now, I was called by World People magazine. ”

"What? "People of the World"? ”

Listened to Steve? After Lucas's answer, Michael? Pete was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened suddenly!

World People magazine, the name Michael? Pete is so familiar!

Because from the day he was named a new Hollywood superstar by The Hollywood Reporter, Michael? Pete has a dream, that is, looking forward to one day being the cover character of "World People"!

The semi-monthly issue of "World People" is one of the most well-known magazines in the world.

What's more, the cover characters of its 24 annual magazines are all the most talked about internationally, and if you have to find a similar one on the planet, maybe Time magazine can compare it. And as a movie star, being able to appear on the cover of "People of the World" is definitely one of the top achievements in life.

Steve? Lucas, for example, won this award.

Could it be ......

This old guy is going to be on the cover of "People of the World" for the second time?

"Yes, it's the World Figure!"

Take a deep breath, Steve? Lucas whispered, "They contacted me to get me in touch with someone and introduce them to ...... Hehe, that's the guy we just talked about......"
