Chapter 247. 【Entertainment Tyrant】
At eight o'clock that night, Yi Feiyang joined hands with the three beauties, Meryl, Hathaway, and Ivanka, to appear at the New York charity gala.
Compared with the usual charity auction party, tonight's charity dinner was a little different, and it was not only some celebrities and wealthy people in New York, but also important officials of the US government. For example, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and future Secretary of State Powell, etc., it can be said that almost all the participants in this charity gala have a lot of backgrounds, and they are not ordinary people who can participate casually.
The film industry was not invited much, because this is New York, MGM, Fox, and the heads of the three major Columbia film companies stationed in the local area are here, the president of the North American Film Association, Abbas, as well as the great director James Cameron, the famous actor Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington attended the dinner, and Will Smith, the black prince whom Yi Feiyang knew, also appeared at the auction.
Seeing such a strong lineup and such a strong aura, Yi Feiyang was really a little flattered to be invited to participate in such a charity gala.
In fact, Yi Feiyang's appearance here surprised others, including the great director Cameron, actor Tom Hanks, and Denzer Washington, as well as Will Smith and others. You have to know that Yi Feiyang has just come to New York, and it has to be said that it is very surprising that he was able to participate in such a large-scale and weighty dinner.
Yi Feiyang took three beauties, Meryl still has charm, Hathaway is pure and elegant, Ivanka is noble and charming, and three superb beauties of different varieties appear here at the same time. Accompany Yi Feiyang. It's like three flowers complementing a green leaf. It can be said that it is extremely eye-catching.
After Yi Feiyang entered the banquet hall, he greeted people he knew, as did Meryl and Ivanka. One of them is an old actor who has been in Hollywood, and the other is a rich lady, and they all know some people more or less, but Hathaway is close to Yi Feiyang, and she doesn't seem to be very interested in all this around her.
In fact, it is true that Hathaway has an indifferent personality to fame and fortune. If it weren't for meeting Yi Feiyang, I would have gone to be a nun, and I wouldn't have taken a second look at this kind of colorful social interaction. But her indifferent and indifferent expression, in the eyes of some men, has a unique attractive flavor.
"Also, Director Cameron, hello!" Yi Feiyang greeted the bearded Cameron. Yi Feiyang knows Cameron and thanks to Paramount's boss Raymond, Raymond cast Cameron's "Titanic" and almost sank himself. But fortunately, this drama has become a masterpiece and is a super hit. It makes Raymond's position in Paramount more and more solid.
For Cameron, Yi Feiyang admires it very much, after all, there are few people in Hollywood who dare to spend huge sums of money to make movies, like Cameron, in the future, he will shoot "Avatar", which is known as the largest investment in history, so good, you can't admire it.
Cameron's understanding of Yi Feiyang is basically based on Raymond's introduction to him, this bearded director is most interested in tinkering with his own movies, big productions, and almost deaf ears and blind eyes for things around him, so he doesn't know much about Yi Feiyang's recent red and purple color...... Even this party was pulled by Abbas next to him, who originally wanted to fertilize his roses in the garden.
What happens to Cameron for Lang? The reason is that he has enough for this amount. The film tyrant who directed the highest-grossing "Titanic" of all time, won numerous Oscars, and held a little golden man domineering and shouted "I am the king of the world", has complete power over who birds and who does not birds.
Therefore, when Yi Feiyang greeted him, Cameron only nodded politely, ignoring Yi Feiyang's outstretched hand.
Compared to Spielberg, although he stammered a little, he was very humane, and the Cameron in front of him was cold enough, and the coldness made people feel painful.
Yi Feiyang withdrew his palm with some embarrassment...... Some of the guys who like to watch the excitement next to him snickered, "Look, that Chinese is easy to eat." ”
"Yes, when a little tyrant meets a big tyrant, it's not bullshit!"
"Don't think that you have made a few blockbuster scenes how great it is, look, the great director Cameron doesn't like him at all!"
"One mountain can't accommodate two tigers, not to mention his little tiger whose hair hasn't grown yet."
……
Yi Feiyang turned a blind eye to these gossips, and still said to Cameron very kindly: "I like the movies you directed, and if I have the opportunity, I will definitely ask you for some shooting skills." ”
Yi Feiyang is not the type of person with a hot face and a cold ass, since Cameron ignores himself so much, Yi Feiyang will not come up to find Leng again, so after saying this, he turned around and left without humility or arrogance, just now, Will Smith, whom Yi Feiyang knew, walked towards him, and the two shook hands cordially and chatted.
Looking at Yi Feiyang's back, a trace of disdain flowed from the corners of Cameron's mouth, and beside him, Abbas, the chairman of the North American Film Association, suddenly said: "Don't underestimate him, man." The energy of this Chinese director is not small, not only can he write and direct, but also he is very skillful, maybe the box office record you create will be broken by him in the future, and your status as the king of the world will also be overthrown by him! ”
"Are you irritating me?"
"No, I'm talking about the facts...... The fact of Hollywood, many people say that if China Yi continues to grow, it will one day replace you Cameron! It's not what I said, it's what the Hollywood guys said! However, in my opinion, this statement is not impossible! Abbas glanced at Yi Feiyang meaningfully, at the last film association conference, if this guy hadn't suddenly stood up and made trouble, he wouldn't have been scolded by the political bigwigs behind him.
……
"Hi dear Yi, I didn't expect to see you here." I haven't seen him for a few months, but Will Smith's complexion is much better, and he is no longer the same as before.
"yes, I'm also surprised, aren't you in Los Angeles, how did you come here?" Yi Feiyang asked with a smile.
"What else, when you came to heal your wounds...... Hehe, just kidding you. My wife came over to reunite with her sister. Yes. In addition, she has to buy some fashion clothes, and I, in charge of the purse! Will said very wittily.
Yi Feiyang couldn't help but wonder, "Hearing you say this, I have to carefully consider whether to get married in the future!" ”
"Oh don't!" Will smiled and said, "Look at this beautiful woman next to you, if possible, I think any man would be willing to kneel down and propose to her!" Will very appropriately complimented Hathaway, who was beside Yi Feiyang.
Hathaway was sweet in her heart, and glanced at Yi Feiyang with her beautiful eyes. That means that there are many people who know how to appreciate beauty.
Yi Feiyang shrugged and smiled: "By the way, Will, my new play will premiere soon, are you interested in being a guest?" ”
"Premiere, is it here?"
"Yes, in New York."
"Of course, man, I don't have anything to do but go shopping with my wife anyway."
"Then we'll make up our minds."
"Of course. I'm not going to miss my appointment, but can you give me more free tickets? ”
"Oh. No problem. Give as much as you want. ”
"Oh no, no, no, I'm just going to give it to some friends and hope they'll like your movie!" Will Smith smiled, "Also, Yi, you promised me that you would write a script for me, and I am looking forward to working with you." ”
Will brought up the old matter again, and brought up the matter of asking Yi Feiyang to help write the script.
Yi Feiyang scratched his head a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, Will, I've been so busy lately, I don't have time to write at all." ”
"Alas, I know that you are a busy man." Will sighed with some disappointment.
"Don't say that, Will, trust me, since I promised you, I will definitely do it, well, your script is wrapped up in me, and it will be done by the end of this year at the latest."
"Oh God, that's what you said, don't forget it then."
"Don't worry, I won't!" Yi Feiyang and Will Smith fisted to finalize the matter.
……
Yi Feiyang and Will Smith had a good conversation, and not far away, Abbas muttered to the great director Cameron: "See, man!" That guy was hooking up with that black movie star again, yes, yes, he must be playing some bad idea...... Do you know that even characters like Spielberg are brothers and sisters with him, and some Hollywood stars such as Johnny Depp and Nicolas Cage are called by him and come and go! ”
Cameron's eyes narrowed, it can be said that he had no bad feelings or good feelings for Yi Feiyang, but with a series of rumors that Yi Feiyang is the biggest talent in Hollywood, his achievements in the future are limitless, and he may even surpass Cameron himself......
This made Cameron, who claimed to be the "King of the World" and arrogant, very uncomfortable, and now, Abbas in front of him fanned the flames, which made Cameron even more unhappy.
"As I said, this man is very skillful, yes, it's the kind of interpersonal communication that is very unbelievable, you can't imagine who he will associate with......" Just when Abbas wanted to reveal the details of Yi Feiyang, there was no need for him to talk more......
Because not far away, the first lady of the United States, Hillary, is waving to Yi Feiyang. When Yi Feiyang saw it, he politely said goodbye to Will Smith, and then walked over; And over there, almost all of them are bigwigs in American politics, including Greenspan and Powell.
"No, how could he know anyone from the government?" Cameron let out a surprise for the first time.
"This ...... I was just about to say that China Yi seems to be very close to the first lady. Abbas shrugged helplessly.
……
"Come, dear Yi, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Greenspan, this is Mr. Powell." Hillary was very kind to introduce Yi Feiyang to these two political bigwigs,
Greenspan and Powell looked at Yi Feiyang with some surprise, watching Hillary introduce Yi Feiyang to them.
To tell the truth, since First Lady Hillary Clinton took office, she has rarely set foot in political affairs, lest she be criticized for interfering in politics. But secretly, everyone knows that this Iron Lady is more eager for power than anyone else, and likes to use power. Therefore, Hillary Clinton occasionally introduces some people into the political arena or meets people in the political arena. Of course, the person who can enter Hillary's eyes is by no means ordinary, either a business celebrity or a rising star in politics, but the ...... in front of him It seems to be making a movie, but it is even more surprising that it is Chinese.
Out of politeness, though. These two political bigwigs still greeted Yi Feiyang with a word or two very graciously. Hillary Clinton spared no effort to praise Yi Feiyang's film for its rarity. Praise him for his talent.
Hillary's praise made Yi Feiyang himself feel embarrassed, looking at Greenspan and Powell looking at him with a smile, Yi Feiyang had a very unnatural feeling. Of course, this kind of unnaturalness is not shown on the surface, Yi Feiyang still seems neither humble nor arrogant, and has a great aura.
For Yi Feiyang, Greenspan and Powell did not regard them as big people worth making friends with or knowing, and Hillary's efforts to introduce them were just a walk-in process. Therefore, the two of them only occasionally asked a question or two with curiosity. It looks very cold.
Of course, Hillary understands this situation, you must know that Clinton has basically announced his resignation, and these two bigwigs will be strongmen in charge of the United States in the future, even Hillary herself has a sense of "distance", not to mention the young director she introduced.
However, Hillary's intention was not really to introduce Yi Feiyang and these two heavyweight cattle people, and basically guessed the result of the two's disdain for Yi Feiyang; In fact, Hillary's intention is very simple, that is, to make Yi Feiyang grateful to herself. Yes, it's gratitude. Preach the political power of your side, and voila. I can introduce such a strong cow to you, so that Yi Feiyang can feel that Hillary's strength has not been greatly reduced because of the loss of the presidential throne, so he is grateful to Dade. On the other hand, Hillary Clinton did this to show the people around her, indirectly showing that she loves talents, and is absolutely thirsty for knowledge for talented people, regardless of status and skin color.
It can be said that Hillary Clinton played this move steadily and ruthlessly, allowing everyone to see her shrewd political skills.
Although Yi Feiyang, as the person concerned, has not yet understood the mystery of Hillary, he knows one thing very well, and he knows how many pounds and taels he has, so he will never be fluttering, especially in front of so many American strongmen.
In addition, Yi Feiyang also felt the envious and jealous eyes around him, and shot the first bird, Americans are also human, and they also like to be jealous and jealous, not to mention that Yi Feiyang is still a yellow-skinned Chinese, which makes many directors and filmmakers in the United States feel very unhappy, so they put their prickly eyes on him one by one, and the meaning is obvious, "Shit!" What the hell can you get to know those big guys! ”
Here Yi Feiyang felt more and more thorny in his back, but he couldn't change the fact in front of him, a Chinese boy inadvertently became the target of public criticism, in this regard, Yi Feiyang really didn't know whether to say thank you or nonsense to Hillary.
After a while, Hillary was dragged away by an acquaintance, and before leaving, Hillary did not forget to tell Yi Feiyang to have a good chat with Greenspan Powell.
Talk about your size! Yi Feiyang is depressed, people will be so polite when they see your face, it is estimated that as soon as you leave like this, people will leave the tea and be cold.
Sure enough, after Hillary left, Greenspan and Powell didn't have to act anymore, and they turned a blind eye to small people like Yi Feiyang, so the two of them talked about themselves, basically about the economy and politics of the United States, and it had nothing to do with movies.
Yi Feiyang is embarrassed, he can't go, he can't go, he can only pestle there stupidly, look at his nose and nose, and make a living Buddha.
Greenspan and Powell chatted very happily, only treating Yi Feiyang as air, and after a while, the two seemed to remember that there was such a person around them, so they asked Yi Feiyang very "politely", "I don't know what you think about the future of the US economy?" ”
This is just a polite and polite question, and the two of them don't expect the Chinese kid in front of them to say something.
However, Yi Feiyang has been aggrieved for so long, and it is rare to have a chance to speak, mother's head, don't you ignore me, then Lao Tzu will ignore you!
As a result, Yi Feiyang couldn't hold back anymore and expressed his opinion, "In my opinion, the economic situation in the United States will get worse and worse in the future, especially in terms ......of national debt, which is even more stretched."
The more Yi Feiyang spoke, the more energetic he became, he had long forgotten what was hidden, what was quiet, and what people should be modest and cautious......
At first, Greenspan and Powell were still cold, and then laughed, and then, the ridicule stiffened, and then his eyes were surprised, and the muscles on his stiff face began to twitch, especially when Yi Feiyang talked about some of the strategies implemented by the United States to improve the economy in his previous life. Powell is nothing yet. Alan Greenspan, as chairman of the Federal Reserve, has held his breath. I was afraid that if I exhaled a little more, it would affect Yi Feiyang's speech.
Looking around, at the beginning, those politicians thought that this hairy boy was talking nonsense without knowing the sky, but as Yi Feiyang's words became faster and faster, closer and closer to reality, those politicians couldn't help but gather around one by one and listened to Yi Feiyang's speech with great interest. Occasionally, a question or two will be asked. Yi Feiyang used some information from his previous life to deal with it. Gradually, everyone began to look at him, as if Yi Feiyang at this moment was a star standing on the podium, shining with stars and attracting attention.
Not far away, Hillary, who was talking to a friend, suddenly felt that something was wrong with the situation around her, why did people walk towards Yi Feiyang...... Looking at Yi Feiyang again, he actually stood in the middle of the crowd and talked eloquently, looking extremely confident.
"No, how can this be?" Hillary was speechless.
At this time, even more speechless than Hillary were Abbas and Cameron. How did they not expect that Yi Feiyang would instantly become the star of the entire charity gala. Especially Cameron. If he hadn't paid much attention to Yi Feiyang before, then now. He has already learned Yi Feiyang's power, to be precise, Yi Feiyang's unbelievable communication skills. Abbas is right, this China Yi is not a simple character, but no matter how good the communication skills are, no one can break the record I created!
Yi Feiyang's excellence made Hathaway happy and apprehensive in her heart, happy because Yi Feiyang was amazing, proud and proud of him as a girlfriend, worried because she felt that the better Yi Feiyang was, the farther away she would be from him, didn't you see, those noble ladies in the banquet, as well as the daughter, the wealthy ladies have already looked at Yi Feiyang.
Speaking of Yi Feiyang, when he came back from the gushing and saw the people around him, as well as the stunned Greenspan and the surprised Powell, Yi Feiyang knew that he had said too much, to be precise, he had leaked too many secrets.
If Yi Feiyang's words just now were shocking, then look at Greenspan's reflection.
Without waiting for Yi Feiyang to find an excuse to escape, the old man Greenspan couldn't help but take the initiative to invite: "Hey, Yi, what you said just now is the most incisive remark I have ever heard, yes, the American economy is like this, you have completely touched its lifeblood, especially the few countermeasures you mentioned, God, although it is a little fanciful, but it seems to be very practical, so I hope you can accept my invitation and go to my house to talk in detail, okay?" ”
What the? The Fed boss invited Yi Feiyang to their house as a guest?
Almost everyone around them thought they had heard it wrong.
You must know that the home of the Fed boss is not something that ordinary people can enter, and there are even fewer people invited by him, especially those in the business world, who almost racked their brains and did not enter. But now, the big guy actually took the initiative to invite people, and he is still a young Chinese boy!
Yi Feiyang was also taken aback by Greenspan's invitation, go to the head, what he just said is some fur that he heard in his previous life, and he doesn't know how to operate or anything, if he really goes, then he won't be exposed immediately.
Yi Feiyang is still very self-aware, knowing that he has already shaken out the bottom of the pot and the pot, and there is nothing left in his stomach, so he immediately made a modest and cautious appearance, and politely refused: "Oh no, dear Mr. Greenspan, I just said it casually, in fact, I don't know anything about the economy, yes, that's it, so unfortunately, I can't accept your invitation!" ”
Outcry!
refused, this young Chinese man actually refused the invitation of the Fed boss, what a style, who is he? What is sacred?!
Yi Feiyang is telling the truth, but in the eyes of others, he is modest, cautious, and pretending to be high-profile. Chinese love to play this trick!
Yi Feiyang is hard, to be honest, no one believes it.
Just when the situation was awkward, the charity auction finally began, everyone was quiet, and those who had originally surrounded Yi Feiyang also dispersed.
Someone, finally able to take a breath. (To be continued......)
