Chapter 346 George Lucas' Invitation (4000 words)

Hollywood Avenue was built in 1958 and is a sidewalk along Hollywood Avenue and Vine Street. It contains more than 2,000 star medals inscribed with Hollywood celebrities’ names to commemorate their contribution to the entertainment industry.

Wu Yun looked at the stars extending all the way on the ground and did not think there was anything different. It looked just a regular floor tiles with some people's names engraved on them.

However, most of the names Wu Yun didn't recognize, because most of the stars on Hollywood Avenue were put on within one or two years after they were built.

After having supper with Lin Wei, Wu Yun decided to walk along Hollywood Avenue to Beverly Hills and take a look at the cultural scenery along the way.

Just when Wu Yun was halfway through.

A shouting sound came from behind Wu Yun: "Mr. Wu! Please wait!"

A young Asian face in his twenties trotted over. When he was approaching Wu Yun, the big bear stopped him.

The young man looked at the white man who was nearly taller than him and looked fierce, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva in his throat. At the same time, he secretly scolded himself for being a little reckless. He didn't expect that he would be so excited to meet Wu Yun again on Hollywood Avenue.

This young man was He Yongzhi who asked about Wu Yun in the VIP waiting hall of the Demon City.

He Yongzhi just finished his work in the afternoon, and just came out after having dinner with his girlfriend, he saw the storied young people in China again.

In addition, his business in the startup company also has a certain relationship with Wu Yun, so he ran over without thinking.

"Mr. Wu! I am He Yongzhi from Ruian Film and Television Special Effects. I wonder if it will delay you for a few minutes?"

As a rich second generation, He Yongzhi felt at this moment that he seemed to face the feeling of those domestic business tycoons, and he couldn't help but fall in a momentum.

At this time, He Yongzhi's female companion also came over and stood beside He Yongzhi.

Wu Yun nodded to the big bear.

Big Bear glanced at He Yongzhi and then moved out of his position.

Passers-by looked at the Asians surrounded by these white men with curious eyes.

Wu Yun said in a plain tone: "What's wrong with you?"

He Yongzhi stopped moving, then took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Wu Yun and said, "Actually, I just want to know Mr. Wu and promote our company's business by the way!"

When He Yongzhi said this, Wu Yun immediately showed a hint of interest.

"Ruian Film and Television Special Effects Co., Ltd., General Manager He Yongzhi!?" Wu Yun raised his hand and looked at the business card with Chinese characters on his hands and English, and murmured.

Wu Yun didn't have any impression of this company. After all, the common sense and gossip in the entertainment industry he bought at the beginning were superficial. For example, these special effects companies hidden behind the scenes, even the old fox in the entertainment industry may not know completely.

Seeing Wu Yun showing a puzzled expression, He Yongzhi smiled and explained: "Mr. Wu has never heard that it is normal for us, because most of our company's business is only carried out in China. I came to America here to acquire a small Hollywood special effects company and see if I can expand my business in Europe and the United States."

Wu Yun asked: "Do you have any representative works in your company?"

He Yongzhi casually said: "Because our company was established in 2013, there are still few representative works in China. We have participated in some storyboards such as "Macau Storm", "Journey to the West: The Great Trouble in the Heavenly Palace", "Devil Police", and "Armored Warriors". Those that have not been released this year include "Equator" and "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain". Of course, our company has also independently produced some TV series and some special effects for web dramas."

"Technically, our company is already mature, and we are about to complete the acquisition of a special effects company in Hollywood. By then, our technology and manpower will fully meet the requirements of special effects for a large-scale commercial film."

Listening to He Yongzhi talking, Wu Yun handed the business card in his hand to Wang Hao and said, "Mr. He, let's add a contact information! Some of the scripts behind our company are about to start filming. Let's see how your skills are!"

This time when I came to America, Wu Yun had already made an appointment with the Industrial Magic Light people, and was preparing to go to the Industrial Magic Light headquarters for inspection after this Oscar ceremony to prepare for the following movies and TV series.

Now that there are those that come to your door, you can choose the one that is more suitable for comparison. In fact, as long as you are willing to spend money on special effects, the special effects company's technical standards will generally not have any "50 cents special effects", and there will be no Douqi turning into a horse Wannian Thorn.

In addition, China's special effects companies may understand Chinese culture better. For example, the "Great Wall" made by Industrial Magic Light, although the special effects are very good, the style is not like China's style at all.

After Wang Hao and He Yongzhi added contact information, Wu Yun nodded to He Yongzhi and said, "I hope you guys can meet my requirements!"

After saying that, he ignored He Yongzhi and walked forward with his people.

Looking at the backs of Wu Yun and others walking away, He Yongzhi then looked at the information on his phone. It was Wu Yun's name, so it was probably Wu Yun's work number.

But it doesn't matter. The news just now, coupled with his rumors about Wuyun Company and the industry, He Yongzhi knew that the opportunity has come again! It depends on whether they can win it.

At this time, the female companion next to him patted He Yongzhi on the shoulder: "Yongzhi, come on! I said the day before yesterday that I didn't have the chance to meet him, so I've met you!"

He Yongzhi showed a firm look and said, "So this acquisition is bound to be won!"

....

After walking a few hundred meters, Wu Yun was no longer interested in watching, so he asked Big Bear to inform Hawkeye and Poisonous Sprig to drive over.

Soon, a few people got into the car and returned to the hotel.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the villa, Siri, the butler in charge of Wu Yun, walked over with an exquisite envelope and said, "Mr. Wu, this is an invitation sent by Mr. George Lucas."

"Okay! Thank you!" Wu Yun nodded to Wang Hao, and Wang Hao took out a hundred dollars from his bag and handed it to Xili.

After returning to the villa, Wu Yun also remembered who George Lucas was.

I didn't expect such a Hollywood boss to invite him.

George Lucas, born on May 14, 1944 in Modesto, California, America, is an American director, screenwriter, producer, graduated from the Department of Film at the University of Southern California. Star Wars related movies are closely related to this big shot.

This is not the most important thing. Lucas Pictures was also founded by him. Many people may not be very familiar with this Lucas Pictures, but most of its subsidiaries are well-known, that is, Industrial Magic Light!

In 2012, Lucasfilm, which included its subsidiary, was acquired by Disney for US$4.05 billion.

That is, in 2014, Lucas tied for 295th place on the Forbes World Rich List with a net worth of US$4.9 billion.

"Dear Mr. Wu Yun, I'm very happy to meet you... First, I sincerely invite you to attend the banquet I held at home. At that time, industry leaders and many actors will attend. I hope to give you a rare environment for communication."

“Time: 6:30 pm on March 10, 2015.”

“Location: 35 XXX Road, Beverly Hills.”

Signature: George Lucas

This is the first time Wu Yun has received an invitation letter to such a Western banquet. I don’t know if it is the same as on TV. Men and women are wearing formal clothes or dresses, holding wine glasses and gathering together in groups of three or three to laugh.

Since it is a business-oriented party, Wu Yun is going to buy a casual suit, so that even if everyone wears casually, it will not be embarrassing.

So the next day, Wu Yun took advantage of the opportunity to go out to find a brand called Kiton, which is said to be the top-notch ready-to-wear suit.

Wu Yun chose a dark blue plaid suit with a casual style.

Originally, Wu Yun's figure was a little strong because of years of exercise, and wearing a suit on her body made her look very slim.

Wu Yun was about to buckle the third button on the top, but was blocked by the shopping guide and said, "Sir, the third button is a fake button for decoration. If you buckle this button, it will cause the collar to be deformed!"

This is not the first time Wu Yun wears a suit, but the fabric of this suit makes him feel what it means to get what you pay for.

According to the shopping guide, "This is the top of ready-to-wear, a representative of Naples suits in Italy, with a light structure and a close-fitting body. More than 90% of the fabrics are exclusively owned. It is the least produced among all ready-to-wear brands, with high hand-made content, and each suit top exceeds 200 hours!"

After these gorgeous words and fabric modifications, a casual suit cost Wu Yun 30,000 US dollars.

Time soon came to the evening of March 10.

At this time, a manor with a wide area was crowded with people, and luxury cars were gathered inside and outside the manor.

The big G driven by Wu Yun and others is inconspicuous here, and that Ford F150 is even more eye-catching.

After parking the car at a designated location, Wu Yun asked several bodyguards to rest in the car and wait for his signal.

It’s not that Wu Yun didn’t want to take them in, but when the car was parked, several people with bodyguards were stopped by the guards at the door.

What Wu Yun heard the most clearly was: "Sorry, sir! Please let your bodyguard wait outside!"

What made Wu Yun a little awkward was that most of the guests who entered were paired, men were wearing suits and ties, and women were beautiful and charming.

But this feeling comes and goes.

The two of them successfully passed the inspection of the yard gate and entered the inner courtyard.

As soon as I entered, a waiter came over to receive the guests and said, "Sir, please come with me. Mr. Lucas is receiving guests in the lobby."

To be honest, after seeing Lucas' manor villa, Wu Yun felt that the villa he had in Rongcheng was really the worst here.

However, in China, it is almost a handful of people who want to build a manor villa in the city, and the housing prices are even more touching.

At the same price, you can only buy one courtyard in China, or even half of the courtyard.

In 2012, a young Chinese-American Ning Siqiao couple spent $34.5 million to buy a French mansion in Beverly Hills. The mansion has a construction area of ​​36,000 square feet (about 3,344 square meters) and covers an area of ​​2 acres (about 8,093 square meters). It is located on the slopes of Beverly Hills and overlooks the famous Sunset Avenue.

This is only the case where the land is vast and sparsely populated.

Wu Yun also felt this thought when he heard the waiter's introduction. It was really cost-effective!

As soon as Wu Yun entered the hall, he immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Even though Wu Yun put on a casual suit, his face still looked very young. In addition, Wu Yun's skin color, some people even showed an incredible look.

"Welcome, a friend from afar!" A white man with gray hair and beard, looking over fifties smiled and whispered.

As the white man approached, Wu Yun also smiled and stretched out his hand to hold it with the white man.

In the eyes of jealousy, discriminatory and enviousness, Wu Yun smiled and said, "Mr. Lucas, thank you for your invitation! This is the Chinese gift I brought to you."

Wu Yun took an exquisite long box from Wang Hao and handed it to George Lucas. This was a calligraphy and painting that Wu Yun bought in Chinatown when he was buying clothes. It was not too expensive, but the meaning was still quite beautiful.

"Mr. Wu, thank you for your gift!" George Lucas handed the box to the waiter, then smiled and put it on Wu Yun's shoulder and said, "Dear Wu, come! I will introduce you to a few partners!"

Because George Lucas is only 168cm tall, he said he was holding Wu Yun's shoulders, but he actually put his hand on Wu Yun's shoulders.

Wu Yun is now a monk who is two years old and can't figure it out. I don't know why Mr. George Lucas is so enthusiastic.

George Lucas took Wu Yun toward the position of two men and one woman.

One of Wu Yun had conducted an investigation in advance, it was Robert Eiger, the current Disney CEO and chairman of the board of directors. His meticulous dress and hairstyle made Wu Yun recognize him at a glance.

The other one is a white man in his thirties and forties wearing black-framed glasses and a neat beard. He is about the same height as Wu Yun and is wearing a blue suit very decent.

The last middle-aged woman was wearing a plain dress, with a slim figure but her appearance was not unique to Wu Yun, just like Europeans and Americans can't tell the difference between Asians.

The three of them smiled and watched George Lucas bring Wu Yun over. The young white man wearing glasses smiled and nodded to Wu Yun.

Wu Yun also nodded in response with a smile.

"Come on! Three! Let me introduce to you Mr. Wu Yun, a rich man from China!" When George Lucas introduced Wu Yun, fortunately, he did not follow Western customs and read Wu Yun's name backwards.

George Lucas smiled and said, "Although Mr. Wu Yun is only 19 years old this year, his personal wealth can be said to be far more than US$1 billion. Looking at Mr. Wu Yun's achievements are unique in the world!"

George Lucas briefly introduced the information he investigated to several people, including several companies in Wu Yun.

With George Lucas' introduction, the three of them originally thought that Wu Yun was an Asian star and didn't care much about it. After listening to the introduction, they put Wu Yun in the same position or even higher.
