In his previous and present lives, this was Wang Mo's first time in North America.

In fact, before Wang Mo collapsed, the senior management of Yunhai Media wanted him to release a few songs internationally, and then buy one or two Grammy awards to improve his B status. However, Wang Mo's singing at that time was too touching, which made the high-level give up the idea.

Thereupon......

Wang Mo has been nesting in China and has never stepped out of the country.

The plane paddled past the Statue of Liberty and landed at the New York airport.

"This is the so-called free country?"

Wang Mo looked at the unfamiliar scene outside, took a breath of air, and found that he couldn't feel the freshness and comfort of the so-called beauty at all, which was no different from China.

Next to him, Hao Mingxing not only came by himself, but also brought two men who looked about the same age as him.

The two men looked mediocre, but according to what Hao Mingxing said, both of them were real practitioners, and their fist and foot kung fu were almost not inferior to him.

The three of them, forming a zigzag shape, surrounded Wang Mo in the middle.

Wang Mo felt that he was making a big fuss, he was a nobody in North America, where could he use such protection specifications? This will attract some people's attention.

However, Hao Mingxing insisted on going his own way, so he could only give up.

Even Hao Mingxing thought of getting one or two guns through some special channels, which scared Wang Mo to stop him immediately.

Although ordinary people in North America have the right to legally own guns, that is only for locals, and the difficulty of their group of foreigners legally owning guns is almost five stars. And if they illegally possess firearms, once they are discovered by local authorities, the consequences are extremely serious.

Although Hao Mingxing superficially agreed to Wang Mo's words, he seemed to be unwilling.

After the group arrived at the hotel, Hao Mingxing made a phone call and left, and he didn't know what to do.

There are as many as 20 people who came to North America this time.

In addition to Wang Mo, Yuan Xiong, Hao Mingxing and two bodyguards, the entire core team of "Kung Fu" came, and there were some employees who had previously contacted North American theaters.

Because it is a chartered business jet, although everyone has taken the plane for more than ten hours, they have a good rest, but the time difference is a little uncomfortable.

So.

After taking a short rest in the hotel, Yuan Xiong found Wang Mo: "Amer, He Rui They were in North America before, and the top person in charge of the cinema chain contacted was a cinema manager in New York. The other party's name is Edgar, and he is in charge of controlling some of AMC's theaters in eastern North America. He Rui has already made contact with the other party, and the two sides have made an appointment to meet at three o'clock this afternoon. ”

"Okay."

Wang Mo nodded.

He had done his homework before he arrived, and knew that AMC was a movie theater chain in North America and the largest theater chain in the world. It has a pivotal position in the cinema chain in North America and even around the world.

It has more than 600 theaters in North America and more than 300 theaters in Europe.

And the Edgar he wants to meet is just a small regional manager. However, for Wang Mo, even a regional manager is enough for him to pay attention to.

Yuan Xiong said: "The other party only gave us half an hour, saying that he had important things to do at half past three." So we have to make the most of this time to negotiate with the other side. But Amer, if I didn't pour cold water, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to talk about anything at all in half an hour. And He Rui reported to me. They have already talked about everything they can talk about, and it is almost impossible to make progress if they continue to talk, and it is even easy to arouse the disgust of the other party. ”

"It doesn't matter."

Wang Mo smiled: "Half an hour is half an hour, but when the time comes, Brother Xiong, you will give me the leading power and let me communicate with the other party, how about it?" ”

"You?"

Yuan Xionghu looked at Wang Mo suspiciously for a while before nodding: "Okay." ”

Wang Mo continued to ask: "What about TV stations and other propaganda aspects? ”

Yuan Xiong said: "I'm going to contact you today." However, as long as you pay the money, the other party will definitely contact you for TV interviews and online promotions such as Instagram. But the effect is not necessarily good. ”

Wang Mo spoke: "It's okay, contact you for the time being." After I negotiate the theater line, I can ask Chai Qing and Zhong An to go to the TV station for interviews, and the effect will come up at that time. ”

Seeing that Wang Mo was so confident, Yuan Xiong was even more puzzled, he didn't know where Wang Mo's confidence came from.

The professional team sent by himself negotiated for half a month before he won a little bit of cinema resources. Can you, Wang Mo, create miracles in just half an hour?

Of course, Wang Mo is confident.

Because he's a hanger.

He had already made up his mind: during the half-hour conversation in the afternoon, if it didn't go well, he would turn on the aura of luck himself, or go to the system mall to buy one or two items.

With tens of millions of prestige in hand, you can't get a single theater manager?

……

Afternoon.

Hao Mingxing didn't know where to drive a Bentley, it should have been modified, and it looked extremely sturdy.

After getting in the car, Wang Mo was very curious: "You rented it?" ”

Hao Mingxing said: "No, I borrowed it from a local friend." ”

Wang Mo: "Do you still have friends in New York?" ”

Hao Mingxing: "I just handed it over today." ”

Wang Mo: "......"

There was a pause.

He still couldn't help asking, "Is it Chinese?" ”

Hao Mingxing: "No, the leader of a small local gang. ”

Wang Mo's eyes widened: "You...... How do you make friends with each other? ”

Hao Mingxing grinned: "It's very simple, on the premise of no guns, I picked them all by myself." And then he made friends with me. ”

Wang Mo: "......"

He could imagine how Hao Mingxing made friends with the other party.

It's really simple...... And rough.

No wonder it is said that it is a friend made today.

Next to him, Yuan Xiong was already in a cold sweat on his back: "Xiao Hao, you'd better not have anything to do with these local gangs, they have guns in their hands, in case they lose their hearts, you will be bad." ”

Hao Mingxing smiled: "Thank you, Brother Xiong, I am measured." Moreover, I also have a gun. Otherwise, they wouldn't have put down their guns and fought with me one-on-one. ”

Swish!

I saw Hao Mingxing shake his hand, and he didn't know where to take out a pistol.

Wang Mo and Yuan Xiongdeng's faces changed, and their lips turned white.

Hao Mingxing said with a smile: "Brother Mo, Brother Xiong, don't be nervous, I got this gun through legal channels, it's no problem at all." You see, I still have a gun license. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a gun license from his pocket.

Wang Mo and Yuan Xiong glanced at each other, and the two of them were in turmoil, and they couldn't imagine how Hao Mingxing had done so many things in just a few hours.

Especially for gun licenses, ordinary people simply can't get them.

Suddenly.

Wang Mo thought of another question: "Brother Xing, do you know English?" ”

Otherwise, how could Hao Mingxing communicate with the locals?

Hao Mingxing nodded: "Yes, Brother Mo told me before that I should learn English well, at that time I hired a teacher to teach me English, originally I passed the sixth level of English when I was in school, so it is not too difficult to learn, and now it is no problem to communicate with people." ”

Yuan Xiong looked at Hao Mingxing deeply a few times, and sighed: "Talent." ”

Hao Mingxing continued: "Brother Mo, don't blame me for doing these things. Foreign countries have always been deep, and I am prepared for this. And it's not a bad thing to deal with gangs, most of which are actually well-known families on the surface, and they are active in the major high society, not living in the dark as we imagined. Many times they actually have their own rules, as long as you are in a relationship with the other party, they may be more reliable than the local authorities at critical moments. And there are many conveniences when doing things. ”

Wang Mo was shocked when he heard this.

Even Yuan Xiong was stunned: "Xiao Hao, where did you know this?" ”

Hao Mingxing said with a smile: "We martial arts practitioners are naturally more sensitive to these things. Moreover, many of our Hao family do not live in China, but run all over the world, so we will hear many things about this. ”

Wang Mo somewhat understood.

No wonder Hao Mingxing was able to contact the local gang in a short period of time, and he was able to obtain a gun license, which is estimated to have his own special channels.

……

Today's negotiation with the manager of the theater is set in the other party's office.

The Bentley borrowed by Hao Mingxing was extremely dazzling, and the road was unimpeded.

When he came to the bottom of a certain building, the little guy who welcomed the guests downstairs was only slightly surprised when he saw Bentley, but he soon saw Bentley's number.

In the next second, the little guy was full of excitement, and hurriedly rushed to the side of Bentley, and respectfully opened the car door.

However, to his surprise, a young man from the East came out of it that he had never seen before.

The little girl's pupils trembled, but he was still very respectful.

Because he knows that the identity of the person who can sit in this car will not be simple.

Yuan Xiong walked down from the other side and said with a smile in English: "I'm sorry for you, we are looking for Mr. Edgar on the 26th floor, and please help contact him, we have made an appointment with him to meet him at three o'clock this afternoon, and we are going to go up to visit him." ”

"Good...... Good. ”

The little servant hurriedly called another person: "Larry, tell Mr. Edgar quickly, these three distinguished gentlemen are looking for him, let Mr. Edgar come down to meet him." ”

Yuan Xiong hurriedly said: "No, no, no...... Let's just go up and not bother Mr. Edgar. ”

Are you kidding?

Let the other person come down to greet them?

I don't have such confidence.

At the same time, his heart was rolling: he remembered that He Rui had said that they had been here many times before, and the other party's attitude was very arrogant, and it was not easy to enter the door every time, why did it go so smoothly today? The little guy in front of him is still so respectful?

Seeing the little guy next to him respectfully with a hint of trepidation, and looking at Bentley's eyes from time to time, Yuan Xiong somewhat understood that he was a fox and a fake tiger.

At the same time, a thought flashed in his heart: Didn't Hao Mingxing say that the other party was just a small gang? From the point of view, the owner of Bentley is probably a bit not simple.

In the end, they rejected the little guy's enthusiasm and asked Larry to take them upstairs.

……

Twenty-six floors.

Edgar had just finished a meeting and was feeling mentally exhausted.

He was about to lie down in his chair and rest for a while, when the proud secretary walked in: "Mr. Edgar, you still need to meet a few guests at three o'clock. ”

The secretary's demeanor made Edgar unable to lift his spirits, and he said lazily, "What guest?" ”

The secretary said: "It's the people from Huaxia's "Kung Fu" movie, I heard that they want to strive for more theaters, so this time they sent high-level executives from Huaxia to negotiate with you further." ”

"Oh, that's it."

Edgar remembered, but still lay on the chair, and waved his hand: "Let them wait first, I'll rest for half an hour." ”

Secretary: "But in half an hour, you still have a concert to attend." You've told me that you can't miss a concert. Because Mr. Kenneth will go too. ”

Edgar waved his hand again: "Then go directly to the concert in half an hour, let those Chinese people go back, and see them next time I have time." ”

For Edgar, this was a very common thing.

It's important to rest on your own.

The scheduling of a mere Chinese movie is not worth his attention at all.

Last time, I was able to give the other party some theater films, which was interesting enough, but this is still on the premise that the other party has given a lot of gifts, otherwise I would not be interested at all.

"Okay."

The secretary was also accustomed to it, and prepared to withdraw.

But the next second.

Bell bell bell.

Edgar's phone rang, he glanced at it, and pressed it off.

But then, the phone rang again.

Edgar was so angry that he roared when he answered the phone: "Michael! You damn creature, you don't want to disturb my sleep by guarding the door down there, and if you don't give a reasonable reason, you can get the fuck off for me right now! ”

Michael.

It was the little guy who had just received Wang Mo and them below.

Hearing Edgar's words, Michael was not panicked, but hurriedly said anxiously: "Mr. Edgar, Mr. Fernando's car has come downstairs to us. ”

"Who?"

Edgar's angry expression disappeared instantly, and his face suddenly turned pale: "Mr. Fernando? ”

Michael: "Yes. ”

Edgar's voice changed: "He'...... He...... He came to me? ”

Within seconds of saying this, Edgar went through everything he had done in the last few days.

The good, the bad, the unknown.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Michael: "No. ”

Edgarden breathed a sigh of relief, and then scolded: "You stepped on a horse, he didn't come to me, why did you call me?" Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? ”

Michael: "It's not Mr. Fernando sitting in the car, it's a couple of people with oriental faces, and they say they've made an appointment with you to meet at three o'clock, and now they're on their way." ”

……

A few minutes later.

With a bright smile on his face, Edgar welcomed Wang Mo, Yuan Xiong, and Hao Mingxing into the living room.

"Mr. Wang, you may be seated. Where can you make a small trip in person, the next time you call me, I'll be there right away. ”

Edgar personally brewed the coffee and brought it to Wang Mo.

At the same time, he looked at the Oriental boy in front of him, who was a little too young, and couldn't understand why Mr. Fernando would lend his car to the other party?

This is not scientific!

He knew that Fernando's favorite car was his car, and he was reluctant to sit in it even if he lent it to others. But now it's actually lent to this young man from the East in front of him?

Edgar secretly looked at it, although the young man looked like he was only in his early twenties, his eyes were introverted and his temperament was outstanding, and he was not a simple person at first glance.

Who is this man?

Damn, those bastards in the company are all shit-eaters!

I knew that the other party was so big, how could I wait for the other party's visit in the office? He almost drove the other party back!

Fortunately, I didn't make a big mistake.

Wang Mo secretly sighed pity.

I didn't drink the coffee made by the proud secretary.

Taking the coffee, he smiled in skilled English, "Mr. Edgar, you are too polite. We're here to ask you for something, and of course we'll have to come and visit you in person. ”

Yuan Xiong, who was standing behind him, slandered in his heart: Wang Mo, this bastard, is really good at English...... Slightly understood! With this fluent and authentic North American English, he himself is far from the same.

It's a dog.

Edgar patted his chest: "Mr. Wang, please speak, as long as I Edgar can do it, I will definitely help you." ”

Wang Mo didn't expect Edgar to agree so simply.

He had made several plans, but in the end none of them worked. It seems that what Hao Mingxing said just now is very reasonable: in many cases, it will be much smoother to get things done by making good friends with these local gangs.

Next to him, Yuan Xiong also stayed.

The team sent by himself worked hard for half a month before he groveled and begged for a little film. As a result, Hao Mingxing achieved a tenfold effect with just one car?

Wang Mo smiled: "Our intention, Mr. Edgar must have known it for a long time. We just want to hope that "Kung Fu" can have more films in North America, I don't know if you have seen this movie, it is still of high quality. If you are not worried about its performance in the North American market, you can test it in a short range, and if the effect is good, you can also improve the film schedule; If the results are mediocre, we won't bother you. ”

Edgar's expression was a little embarrassed, where had he seen "Kung Fu"?

Although in the past period, the representative sent by Yunhai Media had already put the "Kung Fu" video disc on his desk, but he didn't even look at it.

"I've seen it a long time ago, it's good, it's pretty good. This is the best Chinese kongfu I've ever seen! I remember that last year, some Chinese people came to recommend another movie to me, what is it called "Jingwu Heroes"? The kung fu in it is far behind, and there is no way to compare it with Mr. Wang's "Kung Fu". ”

Edgar is also a good person, and he immediately opened his mouth.

"Oh?"

Wang Mo smiled silently.

Behind him, Hao Mingxing blinked: "Mr. Edgar, "Jingwu Hero" is the movie I starred in. ”

“……”

Nima.

Didn't you worship God today?

Edgar's heart was racing rapidly, and he smiled: "Mr. Hao, I know that "Jingwu Heroes" is not bad, but the movie you starred in must not be compared with Mr. Wang's movie, right?" ”

Hao Mingxing nodded: "What you said is very reasonable, but "Jingwu Heroes" and "Kung Fu" are both Mo Ge's movies. ”

“……”

Edgar's smile froze, and he finally spread his hands: "Okay...... I'll admit that I haven't seen either movie. ”

Wang Mo didn't care, and said with a smile: "Mr. Edgar don't worry too much, in fact, if you have seen the movie, I will be surprised." ”

"Oh?"

Edgar had a little more affection for the young man in front of him, and he gave a thumbs up: "Mr. Wang is generous." I don't have to watch the movie anymore, no matter what the quality is, I'll give it enough schedule. What's more, a movie that can have a box office of six or seven billion US dollars in China, I think its quality will definitely not be bad. It's just ......"

Took a sip of coffee.

Edgar smiled wryly: "I'm just a regional manager of AMC, not to mention the box office schedule in the entire North America, even if it is AMC's theater chain in North America, the area I am responsible for is less than one-fifth." So even if I used the maximum permission, I could only increase the schedule of "Kung Fu" by about three times. ”

Thrice!

Yuan Xiong's eyes suddenly brightened.

He was almost pleasantly surprised, if "Kung Fu" can really triple the current stage of the film schedule in North America, then the overseas box office will properly exceed 5 million US dollars, which will be tens of millions of box office when converted into Huaxia coins.

However.

Wang Mo shook his head in disappointment: "Only three times? That's a little little. ”

Edgar: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wang. But that's the limit of what I can do. No matter how high the film schedule is, it is not up to me as a regional manager to decide. ”

Wang Mo knew that Edgar was not lying.

He didn't come to meet with Edgar today to negotiate with such a small character, so he took the opportunity to ask, "Then I don't know who can make the decision?" ”

Edgar: "The only one who can decide the entire North American box office schedule is Mr. Kenneth, who is the head of AMC, and as long as he can nod his head, it is just a matter of one sentence to improve the schedule of "Kung Fu". ”

Kenneth!

Wang Mo and Yuan Xiong glanced at each other.

This person is the actual controller of AMC and is known as the king of North American theaters. Whether it is identity or power, there is a world of difference compared to the Edgar in front of him.

Yuan Xiong shook his head secretly, he thought that he would not have a chance to meet each other at all.

Instead, Wang Mo continued to ask: "Then may I ask, Mr. Edgar, can you introduce us to a brief meeting with Mr. Kenneth?" Even if it's just for ten minutes. ”

As long as Wang Mo can see Kenneth.

Even if it was ten minutes, he was sure to get the other party.

Edgar frowned and thought for a moment: "I can think of a way, but I can't guarantee whether it will succeed." After all, you know, a figure like Mr. Kenneth has already been working for many days, let alone ten minutes, maybe not a minute. ”

Wang Mo nodded: "You just do your best." ”

With that, he was ready to activate the aura of luck.

I don't have so much time to wait for an illusory thing, or the aura of luck is reliable.

That's when it happened.

Edgar's secretary walked over and whispered in his ear.

Edgar frowned, looked at Wang Mo and the others in embarrassment, and then took a deep breath and shook his head to signal the secretary to leave.

Wang Mo blinked: "Mr. Edgar, do you have something to do later?" If you have any problems, we'll leave, it's okay. As long as you can help me get a word with Mr. Kenneth when the time comes. ”

Edgar gave an apologetic expression, "Something, yes, but it's okay. It's just a little music event, and it doesn't matter if I don't go. ”

"A musical event?"

Wang Mo asked curiously: "What kind of music activities?" ”

Edgar was about to say something, when he suddenly remembered something: "Mr. Wang, I almost forgot that Mr. Kenneth will also visit this music event, so if I want to help you talk, this may be a good opportunity." ”

Wang Mo heard this, but his eyes brightened: "Mr. Kenneth will also go?" Mr. Edgar, I don't know if it's convenient for you to take me there? So I can see Mr. Kenneth directly. ”

"This ......"

Edgar looked embarrassed.

Wang Mo added: "Actually, I also know a little bit about music. ”

Edgar smiled at this time: "If Mr. Wang also has some ability to appreciate music, then I can take you there." Because Mr. Kenneth is the most obsessed with music, if you can talk to him musically, you should be able to win his favor. ”

Wang Mo: "Then I'll trouble you." (End of chapter)
