Chapter 15 The Film Company
Universal K. Wah Pictures is one of the Hollywood giants, integrating film production and distribution, and is well-known in the industry, producing and distributing countless blockbusters that have taken the world by storm.
Antonio, the president of Universal Carnival, was browsing the news on the Internet on his mobile phone at the dinner table, waiting for the waiter to bring lunch. Several senior executives of the company sat next to him and chatted.
"The Alien Liaison Bureau has published the detailed requirements of Xu Hao's entourage, and millions of resumes have been received in just one hour." Antonio shook his head as he read the headline, "It's unbelievable that so many women want to be maids." ”
His assistant smiled: "Boss, you don't understand the situation, the maid can also inject high-grade genetic potions when she arrives in the alien empire, and she has a lifespan of eight hundred years." And the alien beauty technology is developed, and it can stay young and beautiful forever. If I was a woman and I was eligible, I would have signed up too. ”
Another person sighed: "That young man in Huaxia is really one step to the sky, and yesterday I also saw the news that the chef of the state banquet in Huaxia Capital also came to Qiquan Lake to cook for him and aliens." ”
"I really hope he and the alien leave soon, our company still has an alien film that is almost finished, waiting for the release."
Half a month ago, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution specifically targeting aliens, requiring all member states not to insult or discriminate against aliens. The aliens live in Seven Springs Lake, and the U.S. Congress quickly responded to pass a temporary bill. There is a clause in the bill: Aliens are not allowed to broadcast extraterrestrial-related movies and television during this time on Earth.
Diplomacy is no trivial matter, if the aliens are very angry when they see it, the consequences may be too serious, so serious that the earthlings can't afford it. If you have no experience working with extraterrestrial species, you should still be cautious.
Huanyu Jiahua has a science fiction film to postpone its release.
One of the people in the seat said: "When the aliens leave, I think there will be an alien craze on the earth, and if a related movie is launched at the right time, maybe the box office will be good." ”
President Antonio's mobile phone rang suddenly, and he heard a deep voice when he connected it: "This is the Federal Secret Service, is it Mr. Antonio?" ”
Antonio was stunned, how did the Secret Service find himself? "Yes," he said, "I'm Antonio. ”
"Mr. Xu Hao wants to meet you, I don't know if you are free the day after tomorrow."
"Huh? Xu Hao? Is it Xu Hao, the Chinese man who lives in Qiquan Lake? He wants to see me? Antonio was surprised, he and Xu Hao didn't know each other, how could the other party suddenly ask to see him.
"Yes, Mr. Xu Hao wants to have a business cooperation with Huanyu Jiahua Company, if you are free in the past two days, I will arrange for you to meet him."
"Business cooperation? I'm free, I'm free, of course. As the president of a Hollywood film giant, his schedule is naturally full, but if he meets Xu Hao, let alone himself, even the president is estimated to be free. Now Xu Hao seems to be the spokesperson of aliens, and cooperating with Xu Hao is almost the same as cooperating with aliens.
And Xu Hao's popularity is extremely high, it can be said that he is well-known all over the world, this kind of reputation can bring huge commercial benefits, he is one of the most worthy of cooperation, Antonio naturally can't miss this opportunity.
"Well, please bring your best photography team, bring all your photographic equipment, and come to Nok Town, the closest to Seven Springs Lake, at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon. We have a security checkpoint in Nock Town, where staff will meet you. ”
Antonio hurriedly said: "Can I ask what kind of business cooperation it is?" ”
"We don't know about this, you can talk to Mr. Xu Hao then. We'll have official documents to pass to you later, goodbye! ”
"Okay, goodbye!"
After the call, Antonio fell into deep thought.
His assistant asked, "Sir, what's wrong?" ”
"Xu Hao wanted to see me and was interested in business cooperation with our Huanyu Jiahua Company, but the specific situation was not disclosed, but he just asked us to bring the photography team over."
Everyone present was stunned and said, "Xu Hao? Xu Hao, who is going to alien to learn the Force? ”
"We are a film company, and we must have come to us to make a movie. Boss, I think there's a chance he's going to want to make a documentary. If we make a documentary about aliens, then we will send it. ”
"Yes, yes, we are making movies, and Mr. Huaxia Xu must be inseparable from the film aspect when he asks us to cooperate. If you really make an alien documentary, wow, this movie must be a global hit. As long as the alien stands in front of the camera, it can attract countless viewers to buy tickets to enter the venue. ”
"And it's not just the box office that we're reaping, it's also our reputation. Gentlemen, this is history. The first movie in human history with the participation of aliens, our Huanyu Carnival Company will go down in history. ”
Antonio tapped his fingers on the table: "Which of the best photographers currently have no assignments, give me a list immediately, oh no, if there are assignments, also list the names and see if they can be drawn." ”
"Boss, the director should also bring one, even if it is a documentary, there must be a director."
"Boss, the scene notes, lighting, and makeup can't be missing, otherwise the effect of the shoot will be greatly reduced."
At this time, the waiter brought the steak, and Antonio waved his hand: "Hurry up and return to work in the company after eating, we must not only determine the list of personnel, but also set off early tomorrow morning and rush to Qiquan Lake in the afternoon." ”
On that day, Huanyu Jiahua Company was busy, contacting team members and arranging trips, many staff were very busy, and many people worked overtime until late at night.
On the second day, Huanyu Jiahua Company has dispatched elites to form a team, and photographers, directors, lighting engineers, makeup artists, scene reporters and other personnel have been drawn from different crews and rushed to the nearest airport in Qiquan Lake by plane.
The team came from all over the world, and even the internationally famous directors heard about the situation and threw away the movie they were preparing to make. After gathering at the airport, the men rushed to the town of Nock in a luxury bus and a number of cars. In addition to the absence of actors, this is already a film crew with a luxurious lineup.
The convoy came out of the city and walked onto the road to Nok Town, and had just walked less than two kilometers when it saw a long queue of dozens of cars on the road ahead. A roadblock was set up on the road, where more than a dozen soldiers in camouflage uniforms were armed with live ammunition.
Tourists who came to see the aliens, as well as reporters who wanted to come to interview them, were stopped.
"You can't go to Nok Town unless you have a special pass, please go back the way you came."
"Sir, I'm a resident of Knocktown, and I'm going home."
"Residents of Noke Town, please go to the city to get a pass, you can't go without a permit."
Huanyu Jiahua and his party showed the documents of the Secret Service before they were allowed to pass, but everyone's names and social security numbers were registered.
The journalists felt unfair: "Hey, soldiers, why did they get in?" ”
"That's a guest invited by Mr. Xu Hao, of course it's allowed to enter Noke Town." The soldiers replied coldly.
One of the reporters recognized Antonio and immediately asked his colleague to take a photo, isn't this the president of Huanyu Jiahua Pictures? Xu Hao made an appointment to meet with a Hollywood giant? This is big news and can spark a lot of speculation. The reporter immediately opened his laptop and wrote an article and sent it out, attaching the photo he had just taken.
Half an hour later, an article titled "Aliens Want to Make a Movie?" The press release spread.
