Chapter 203: Departure to Hollywood

Los Angeles International Airport.

"Xiao Qin, that's the person who came to pick you up, right?" Liu Xiaoli pointed in one direction and reminded.

Qin Muchu followed the direction of Liu Xiaoli's finger and saw a huge sign with the words "Qin Muchu" written on it not far away, and said into the phone:

"OK, I see you."

hung up the phone and said to Liu Xiaoli and Liu Xiqian:

"It's him, let's go."

"Oh, good."

Liu Xiaoli said with a smile.

After taking two steps, I found that my daughter did not follow, and looked back at Liu Xiqian, who was still standing in place:

"Sissi, let's go!"

Liu Xiqian stood still, as if she hadn't heard.

"Liu Xiqian!" Liu Xiaoli frowned, and her tone was aggravated.

Qin Muchu also stopped, looking at the mother and daughter, and wanted to laugh a little.

The two of them had an awkward quarrel all the way, from the time they boarded the plane in Yanjing, Liu Xiqian was like a gambling child, and she ignored Liu Xiaoli.

And now, Liu Xiaoli's patience has obviously reached the limit, and she walked directly in front of Liu Xiqian and twisted her ears:

"Are you leaving?"

Liu Xiqian, who was still unconvinced just now, instantly broke the suppression from the bloodline:

"Go, go, Mom, let go, it's painful."

What should I do if my child is disobedient? It's good to have a beating.

Qin Muchu shook his head and continued to walk towards the person who picked him up.

After receiving the letter from Mr. Stan Lee, he spent half a month arranging the relevant matters of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", and then went to Los Angeles, USA.

And why are Liu Xiqian and Liu Xiaoli together......

Qin Muchu guessed that Liu Xiqian might have told Liu Xiaoli about this, and then Liu Xiaoli, who wanted to send her daughter to Hollywood, had the idea of coming here to investigate in advance.

Investors in blockbuster films at a cost of $150 million...... The identity of a friend.

……

The one who came to pick up the plane was a fat man, and the fat man hadn't reacted when Qin Muchu walked over.

"Okay, I'm Qin Muchu."

The fat man was stunned, his eyes widened, he looked Qin Muchu up and down, and pointed to the name on the sign he held up in disbelief:

"You?"

"It's me." Qin Muchu nodded, "We were on the phone just now. ”

Only then did the fat man determine that Qin Muchu was the person he wanted to pick up, half with emotion, half with surprise:

"Are you really young, or, in fact, you are young?"

Then he quickly came back to his senses, took the initiative to stretch out his hand and smiled:

"Jon Favreau, you can just call me Jon."

"Hello."

Qin Muchu shook hands with him.

This isn't the first time he's been surprised by age.

It is estimated that in Jon's heart, the owner of such a large investment should be a middle-aged man, at least in his thirties, and he will never be the young man who seems to be still in school now.

"Please get in the car, it's about an hour away from Hollywood." Jon enthusiastically opened the car door for Qin Muchu.

"There are two more people with me." Qin Muchu said.

Liu Xiaoli and Liu Xiqian were walking this way, talking something as they walked, Liu Xiqian lowered her head and didn't dare to speak like a quail.

Liu Xiaoli, who endured all the way, let Liu Xiqian know again that her daughter is a daughter after all, and she can't make any waves in her mother's hands.

"It's okay, there's plenty of space in the car." Jon laughed.

When he came to pick him up, he had already considered that Qin Muchu might not come alone, so he chose a car with a large space.

After all, which big boss goes out without a secretary or bodyguard or something.

"I see that your wings are hard, and no matter how hard your wings are, I will be your mother's ......"

Liu Xiaoli's reprimanding voice came.

walked up to Qin Muchu's side, and smiled in an instant:

"Xiao Qin, I'm sorry, Sissi is not sensible, she made you laugh."

"It's okay, get in the car, Aunt Liu."

Qin Muchu waved his hand.

Sometimes it's hard to tell who is sensible and who is not sensible.

And although Jon on the side can't understand Chinese, he is not blind.

Rich people in the dark road really know how to play, and they don't bring bodyguards when they come out, only women.

Sooner or later, you will taste the sinister nature of free America.

Qin Muchu opened the car door and asked Liu Xiaoli to get in the car first, followed by Liu Xiqian.

But Liu Xiqian, who was out of her mother's sight, was immediately revealed, and instantly went from an angry little quail to a menacing eagle.

Two thin eyebrows twisted up, glaring at Liu Xiaoli in the car.

"Get in the car." Qin Muchu urged.

"I don't sit with her, you get in the car!"

I don't even call my mother anymore.

Qin Muchu didn't want to sit between the mother and daughter, and just wanted to refuse, he was pushed into the car by Liu Xiqian.

Liu Xiaoli looked at Qin Muchu, who sat in with an embarrassed face, and then looked at Liu Xiqian, who sat next to Qin Muchu without saying a word.

Knowing the daughter Mo Ruomu, she instantly understood what was happening.

His eyes widened and he tried to say something, but he didn't speak.

The car started slowly and headed for Hollywood.

Qin Muchu sat in the middle, and he didn't dare to look casually, so he could only look ahead.

Made, to sit like this for an hour, isn't that fatal?

Fortunately, the embarrassing atmosphere did not last long, and Liu Xiaoli spoke:

"Xiao Qin, how much money did you invest in this movie? How did you think of this movie at the time? You haven't been to the U.S., have you? ”

learned from Liu Xiqian that Qin Muchu had invested in Hollywood blockbusters, and Liu Xiaoli was still very surprised.

Especially when you know that this blockbuster costs a whopping $150 million.

You must know that the cost of "The King of Kung Fu" is only 70 million US dollars, and the 150 million US dollar movie is also the top production in Hollywood.

This level of resources is generally in the hands of the "Big Eight" of Hollywood, and it is difficult for outsiders to participate in it.

Not to mention a Celestial Empire.

"Mom, what are you asking others for, and what does it have to do with how much money you invested?" Liu Xiqian frowned.

This kind of thing is not only personal privacy, but may also involve trade secrets.

Liu Xiaoli also reacted, she was just too curious, and immediately said:

"Xiao Qin, it's okay if it's inconvenient to say."

"Nothing inconvenient."

Qin Muchu confessed very frankly, his assets are all clean and verifiable, and there is nothing to see.

And sooner or later, the investment in "Iron Man" will be known, and someone will definitely ask about it at that time, so he said the prepared rhetoric:

"When I was a child, I liked to watch "Spider-Man", so I paid more attention to Marvel, I heard that they wanted to make their own movies, and they were short of money, so I happened to have some spare money in my hand, so I invested a sum, about 90 million."

90 million ......

It's almost 100 million.

If this is placed in the Celestial Empire movie, it can already be regarded as a top blockbuster.

But in a $150 million movie, it's nothing.

However, an investment of less than 90 million yuan can be exchanged for the courtesy and invitation of Hollywood blockbusters, and Liu Xiaoli feels that it is still worth it.

It's not that she can't get 90 million.

If she could get the news at that time and invest, maybe she could get a role for her daughter.

This is a movie on the same level as "Spider-Man".

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but feel a little complicated in her heart.

At this time, Liu Xiqian suddenly said curiously:

"You only invested 90 million?"

She read Stan Li's letter to Qin Muchu, and she can be called grateful to Dade, and said that she was a life-saving benefactor.

Ninety million shouldn't be worth Stan Lee to do.

After all, 90 million is converted into US dollars and is only more than 10 million US dollars, compared to 150 million, which is too far behind.

"Oh, 90 million is not RMB, it's USD."

Qin Muchu explained that he didn't make it clear, which may have made Liu Xiqian misunderstood.

He thought that when he arrived in the United States, he would say that he had American money.

“……”

“……”

Mother and daughter were silent.

"When did you become so rich?" Liu Xiqian blinked.

Originally, she thought she was the richest little rich woman among her friends, with more than 100 million dollars.

I didn't expect this to be a real big guy.

"Hmm...... After I made my first film. Qin Muchu replied very seriously.

The money he invested was indeed earned from filming "The Gift of Room No. 7".

"Ahem......"

Liu Xiaoli coughed.

I didn't have any knowledge of the identity of Qin Muchu's highest-grossing film director in the Heavenly Dynasty before, because in this era, directors such as Lao Mouzi, Chen Kaige, Jia Section Chief, and Jiang Wen are more recognized.

They have awards and have been famous for many years.

But Qin Muchu's small exposure of assets really scared her.

Who is the first director of the Celestial Empire may be disputed.

But who is the most profitable director of the Celestial Empire, it is undoubtedly Qin Muchu.

A movie may make another director a lifetime of money.

Qin Muchu didn't know Liu Xiaoli's thoughts, but felt that Aunt Liu's eyes had changed when she looked at her.

One more ...... Awe.

Reverence for money.

However, Qin Muchu's making money is almost an irreproducible case.

Small cost, high box office, independent investment.

Even now, Qin Muchu can't replicate the brilliance of "The Gift of Room No. 7".

In a word, money can't be earned alone.

He realized it when he was filming "Star You", so he brought Huayi to invest together, otherwise the cost of "Star You" of more than 20 million yuan, even if it doubled, he could easily eat it all.

Later, he also ceded the broadcasting rights of Hong Kong and Taiwan to the Emperor.

If he plays all by himself, the money earned from "Star You" will at least double.

But he didn't.

Including "Journey to the West", it is also a reason to bring China Film and invest in home.

A person who eats alone, no matter what background he has, will definitely be targeted by the circle, so the road will not be long, it is better to scatter some favors, but you can get some hidden benefits that money can't buy.

At least now, with the support of Xiang Jia and the Emperor, he can be said to be the same on Hong Kong Island.

If you need to use actors or entertainment resources on Hong Kong Island in the future, it's just a matter of one sentence.

……

The speed of the car slowed down, and the number of vehicles on the road gradually increased.

It also means that it is about to enter the city.

QIN MUCHU HAD ALREADY SEEN SEVERAL HUGE WHITE LETTERS INSERTED IN THE ROLLING GREEN MOUNTAINS OUTSIDE THE CAR WINDOW - "HO LLY WOOD".

"We're almost there, and this is Hollywood."

Jon, the fat man driving in front, said as he looked in the rearview mirror.

With a smile on his face, there was some pride in his tone.

This is the center of the world's entertainment industry, and it is also the most developed place in the world film industry - Hollywood.
