When Margaret answered reporters' questions, she didn't want to answer, so she rammed around.

If you want to answer, you will also glance at Chu Qianqian, who is standing opposite.

Seeing him shake his head, Margaret pouted, and answered very obediently.

By the time reporters declined the invitation to stay overnight and hurried back to Santa Barbara and Los Angeles to publish the contents of today's interview as soon as possible.

Margaret's impression in the hearts of reporters is that she is noble, funny, and very close to ordinary people.

It makes people feel that chatting with her, although they clearly feel the aristocratic style in her, they don't feel that she is arrogant and rigid at all.

The most important thing is that the smile is kind. Compared with her sister's unsmiling expression in TV speeches, people prefer to be close to her.

It can be said that this interview was a particularly successful one, and the benefits for Margaret were.

Not only did she win the love of the Chinese people, but the English people also felt that she was decent and earned enough face for the royal family.

What's more, I heard that the FBI and the police in Los Angeles conducted a joint operation that night, not only arresting all the local mafia leaders.

Even the little minions caught 7 or 80.

And the action is not only efficient and fast, but also does not let out any wind.

Later, I heard that this was a direct order from the White House, and California and Los Angeles were not even notified.

This matter soon reached Margaret's ears, and she put her arm around Chu Xiangqian and kept praising him for being powerful.

You don't have to do anything, you get the trouble done.

And it's not to blame the ranch for this, in the final analysis, it was the mafia who had bad intentions first, and it didn't make sense for people to fight back.

After staying in the ranch for another three days and determining the location of the shooting range, Chu Xiangqian gave the owner of the construction company in the town a list for the construction of the shooting range.

The project of 100,000 US dollars can earn 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, not to mention the follow-up golf courses, resorts, red wine wineries, small airports and new cattle sheds and sheepfolds and other engineering projects are waiting.

In total, there will be at least millions of dollars in follow-up investment, and the other party who is happy can't wait to kneel on the ground and kiss Chu Xiangqian's boots.

That morning, Chu Xiangqian sat in the car and personally sent Margaret to the Santa Barbara airport.

Since England has decided to let Margaret visit the United States as a representative of the royal family, and meet the pro-England politicians and tycoons on the United States side, it is natural that Margaret and her party will not take a civil plane to Washington.

Yesterday there was a private jet that flew all the way from London to Santa Barbara Airport.

When Washington's visit is over, Margaret will fly straight back to London on a plane.

Chu Xiangqian flew to Hawaii-Tokyo, and then transferred to Beijing.

When sending Margaret to the plane, Chu looked forward at the interior decoration of the plane and shook his head with some disgust.

Although the Douglas DC-6 has been the star of medium-sized long-range airliners since the 40s, it is too small in Chu Xiangqian's eyes.

And the propeller engine, not only slow, but also outdated and old.

looked at Margaret and said, "Honey, you better order a 707 from Boeing as our family's private jet earlier." ”

After speaking, under the gaze of Margaret, Arthur, and the accompanying officers and butlers who had arrived from England.

Chu Xiangqian sat on the cabin seat, took out a checkbook, signed a check for 12 million Hong Kong dollars, and handed it to Margaret.

"The price of the Boeing 707 announced to the public is 3 million US dollars, and you can bring this 12 million Hong Kong dollars check, if Boeing does not accept Hong Kong dollars, wait for me for a month, and give you another 3 million US dollars.

If $3 million is not enough because of private customization, please call me. ”

Margaret nodded in surprise, she was worried that Chu Xiangqian's money was not enough, and rejected Chu Xiangqian's proposal to buy 707 two months ago.

Now, first $7.4 million is invested in the world, $3 million is spent on Roman holidays, and $6 million is spent on ranching.

It also spent $500,000 to renovate the ranch's canals, water sources, and open up 1,500 acres of farmland.

spent nearly $17 million before and after, and I didn't see him feel much distressed, let alone a shortage of funds.

Spending $3 million to buy a private jet, Margaret didn't feel that Chu Xiangqian was slapping his swollen face and becoming fat.

hugged Chu Qianqian and kissed him.

The people around him are probably used to it, plus 3 million to buy a plane, and no one thinks that he is not worthy of Margaret.

Even the English officials, who flew in from London to accompany Margaret on the trip, did not find anything wrong with the two hugging and kissing.

After all, to be sent by the royal family, it is naturally the prince's family, and before coming, someone must have told him about the relationship between Margaret and Chu Xiangqian.

After the delivery of this plane, it will not only be larger and more luxurious than the royal family's private jet, but even the plane for the Prime Minister of England to visit will not be as good as the luxury and custom-made 707.

Maybe in the future, when the royal family visits, they will ask Chu Xiangqian and Margaret to borrow a big plane.

The 707 will be a wide and narrow, mid-size aircraft in the future, but in this era, it will be a properly large aircraft.

Or the first, civil four-engine, long-range jet.

Boeing is still worried about how to promote this new aircraft to the private sector, and perhaps after Margaret places an order, the heads of state of the major developed countries in Europe and the United States will switch to the 707 as a car in the future.

And Boeing has a lot of opponents in recent years, and Boeing has been suppressed by Douglas.

Even Lockheed's Constellation aircraft can hold down Boeing in this year.

It can be said that just ordering a private jet is advertising Boeing.

If it weren't for Chu Xiangqian's non-Mi nationality, he would have taken the opportunity to say that he wanted to take a stake in Boeing.

Sending off Margaret, who was all about buying a plane, Chu turned his head forward and went to Universal Pictures.

More than ten days have passed, and the preliminary preparations for the Roman holiday have long been completed.

This time, I not only had to confirm the director, but also had to talk to Elizabeth Taylor, who promised to talk after reading the script.

When I saw this woman, it can be said that it was when Taylor's style was at its best.

However, in addition to being famous for her beauty and good acting skills, this woman is also a marriage maniac.

I was married 8 times in my life, and the longest lasted only 6 years.

At every turn, because of shooting a certain movie, he gets along with the actor or producer.

And like many Hollywood actresses who are unhappy in marriage, they have a super unreliable mother.

In 50, when Taylor was 18 years old, he married his daughter to the youngest son of the Hilton family.

At that time, Little Hilton was worth $130 million, and it can be said that he joined the wealthy family properly, but it is a pity that the wealthy family is so easy to marry.

The two divorced in less than a year, and by last year, 59 years, Taylor had been married four times.

After understanding this, although Chu Xiangqian felt that Taylor was unbelievably beautiful now, he was a little afraid to provoke this woman.

And this woman is a notoriously jewel collector.

It is rumored that as long as you give her super jewelry, you can easily win her favor.

Taylor was also very curious about the young, handsome Asian in front of him.

As one of the top 8 shareholders in Hollywood, it is already a big and small giant in Hollywood.

It's a pity that I just got married last year, otherwise, it seems good to talk about a long-distance relationship with him.

Thinking about it this way, the ghost actually agreed to star in the movie Roman Holiday.

When the contract was signed, Mike Heilman, the general manager of Universal, had to remind Chu Xiangqian, "Stark, it's okay to play, but if you have real feelings for her, I guarantee that the two of you will break up in a few years." ”

Chu shrugged forward, secretly saying that he hadn't thought of being with her either.

Otherwise, everyone will know that the custody will make trouble, and then all the women in the family will jump out one by one to make trouble.

Maybe Margaret will kill her.

This chick is crazy, but she doesn't care about Hollywood stars.

After determining the director and the actor, Chu Xiangqian called Hong Kong Island and called a total of 15 people behind the scenes, such as Wrinkle Huai, He Guanchang, Hong Sanbao, Guo Zhenhua and the company's photography, lighting, etc.

As an investor and producer of the film, Chu Xiangqian uses some Asians behind the scenes, and no one will say anything.

Wrinkle Huai, He Guanchang and others directly became shareholders of the eight major Hollywood companies to the boss, and also supervised the production of a Western, which is called admiration.

It can be said that as long as they follow the Hollywood crew to make a few more movies, these people will return to Hong Kong Island, and in the future, they will be much better than their peers in terms of experience and vision.

In the future, it will be much less difficult to shoot kung fu films to enter Hollywood.

Then Chu Qianqian pulled the executives of Universal and the executives of Decca Records to watch the snake trick and the drunken fist together.

Hollywood action movies these days are full of western cowboy shootouts.

In terms of fighting, not to mention the beauty of fighting, in Chu Xiangqian's eyes, even the street gangster's Wang Baquan can't compare.

Even in the Hollywood action movies of the 80s, the fighting plots seemed very childish and uninteresting.

Otherwise, Stallone would not have become famous in Hollywood with the boxing movie "Rocky" and embarked on his own star path as an action superstar.

Of course, Rocky's success is not only the excitement of the boxing shoot, but also the plot of fighting at the bottom and not giving up.

Then the box office of Rocky 2 and Rocky 3 is not as good as one.

When it came to the first drop of blood, Stallone still relied on gunfights and resistance from the bottom. In terms of action, it's simply a game.

And the serpentine trickster and drunken fist in the late 70s and early 80s, won such a high box office, it can be said that it is the culmination of Hong Kong Island kung fu films.

Coupled with the unique humor of Uncle Long's movies, it can be said that in terms of action movies, these two movies not only throw off the two streets of Hong Kong Island movies in the same period.

It is several levels stronger than Hollywood action movies.

After watching Brother Xiaolong's dragon fight, you know that from the perspective of decades later, the fight in this movie is actually not very exciting.

But in the early '70s, it was a new thing, a new genre of cinema that had never been seen in Hollywood.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people and action stars who worship Uncle Xiaolong.

And the fight design of Hollywood action movies can continue to improve, to put it bluntly, it still depends on those action directors on Hong Kong Island.

Even though Hollywood continues to steal learning, decades later, a group of Chinese Americans still occupy half of Hollywood's action direction.

After watching the serpentine trick, Universal's executives were impatient to introduce the film to Hollywood.

Even Mike Heilman directly said that skipping the test screening and going straight to the 500 theaters.

If the box office in the first week is good, with the virtue of the theater chain, it will definitely increase to thousands of movie theaters.

And in these years, movies all over the world are broadcast, as long as the box office is good, it is common for them to be released for three or five months.

When talking about the box office sharing model, Chu Xiangqian didn't even think about it, so he chose a stepped account sharing.

The buyout will definitely not be drawn, and the fixed account sharing model is a unique right of Hollywood's eight majors.

wants to take this account-sharing model, Chu Xiangqian knows that unless he makes at least three or five movies that are box office hits in the future, he is qualified to negotiate with the theater.

And this is a benefit that only a global shareholder and a producer can enjoy.

Otherwise, the cinema side will not bird you.

In the first week, it took 80% of the total box office, the second and third weeks 60%, and the fourth and fifth weeks only 20%.

How long it will be shown after that has nothing to do with the producer.

However, the biggest advantage of this is that it can recoup the cost as soon as possible, and at the same time, the profit of the theater chain is long-term, often showing for several months, and the total box office can be higher.

And the higher the box office, the greater the fame of the producer.

Of course, this model is only the most beneficial for big movies, but Chu Xiangqian thought about it, and there were 500 theaters in the first week.

By word of mouth, if the box office hits in the second and third weeks, the revenue may exceed one million dollars.

Overall, at least it makes more money than selling it directly to theaters.

And the most important thing now is to be famous, and to make Hong Kong films famous, as long as the box office of the serpentine trickster can have millions of dollars.

In the second part of the drunken fist negotiation, maybe the share of the fourth and fifth weeks can be increased from 20% to 30%.

And cinemas and Universal don't have anything to earn, how can people broadcast Hong Kong films on a large scale?

As for the issuance fee of Universal, from 15% at the beginning, it took two days to talk about 10%.

This is still Chu Qianqian signed a gambling agreement, and the total box office of the serpentine trickster in the United States cannot be less than 3 million US dollars, otherwise the distribution fee is still 15%.

Out of Universal Pictures, Chu Xiangqian sat in the car, silently thinking about how to expand the fame of the serpentine trickster.

After thinking about it, I finally felt that I could only rely on my fists.

said to Wrinkle Huai, who was sitting in the back row, "Ah Huai, call Zhang Tianzhi after returning to the hotel and ask him to take the fastest flight over." ”

Wrinkled Huai and He Guanchang, Hong Sanbao, who were also sitting in the back row, and Guo Zhenhua, who was driving, were stunned at the same time.

They all looked at Chu Qianqian, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

I heard Chu Xiangqian say with a smile, "I plan to take reporters, Ah Long, San Bao and Brother Zhi to challenge the martial arts gyms in Los Angeles." If the three of you can't win, I, the big boss, will make the last move.

After challenging ten and eight of them, the Guardian Los Angeles and the West will be in a hurry for a while. ”

Wrinkled Huai and He Guanchang were still a little hesitant, but Hong Sanbao and Guo Zhenhua nodded without a trace of hesitation.

The two are masters who firmly believe that Chu Xiangqian can handle all factions, and in the serpentine trickster and drunken boxing, Guo Zhenhua is the protagonist, and Hong Sanbao is also an important supporting role and action director in drunken boxing.

It can be said that after the movie was a big hit, the most direct income was Guo Zhenhua and Hong Sanbao, the behind-the-scenes dragon and tiger martial artists.

The next day, in the afternoon, Wrinkle took Guo Zhenhua and Hong Sanbao to the Los Angeles airport in person and received Zhang Tianzhi who flew over.
