"I thought you wouldn't come, but you came anyway." Lu Fei stood in front of the operating room door. From the corner of his eye, he saw a man with blond hair and a red tie approaching in a hurry.
"Humph, she is my daughter and she is giving birth to my grandson. Why can't I come?" Dong Jianguo smiled coldly, "After the birth, I will take them mother and son to Los Angeles and attend the premiere of "Avengers" together.
What’s the problem?”
"So, you admit it?"
Lu Fei's eyes were full of amusement. He didn't know who said it before. Even if Ivanka committed suicide and disowned her daughter, there was no way he could admit that he was the child's grandfather. It had only been a few days!
"I reluctantly agreed because of Ivanka's pleading, but I told you clearly that I would never give him a share of the family fund! Not even a penny!"
Dong Jianguo was so excited that he could not speak coherently.
This golden retriever is very proud.
Lu Fei shook his head and laughed, "It's up to you, but is it really okay for you to do this? You want to run for commander-in-chief, and now only I can help you. Are you sure you want to cooperate with me with this attitude?"
"I am now a non-staff member of your revival meeting!"
"My grandson calls you daddy!"
"Shouldn't you help me?"
Dong Jianguo lacks confidence. He has neither foundation nor connections in the Xiang Party. When comparing money, he is no match for his father, the financier of the military-industrial-energy complex, nor the cheap "son-in-law" in front of him.
If it weren't for his blessing for the charity party organized by the Koch family in his honor, he wouldn't even have been able to get an invitation, let alone get to know so many Elephant Party bosses and funders.
"Pfft."
Lu Fei laughed out loud at Dong Jianguo's shamelessness, "Okay, of course I will continue to support you, but God only saves those who save themselves. Be prepared and think about your 'MAGA'."
"My team's think tank has analyzed it for me. It is impossible for me to grab the iron votes of the Elephant Party's base, but I can win over the forgotten silent majority in the Midwest, those in the rust belt and rednecks who are not unemployed.
Just illiterate."
Dong Jianguo narrowed his eyes into a straight line.
Lu Fei, just wait for me!
When I become the commander-in-chief, the first thing I will do is imprison you!
You must immigrate! You must divorce and marry Ivanka! You must have more children and inherit the family property! Otherwise, Jie Jie Jie!
"..."
Lu Fei felt that his eyes were strange and shuddered.
At this moment, the flashing red light at the top of the operating room disappeared. Immediately afterwards, the door opened and the nurse came out and informed Lu Fei, Dong Jianguo and the others that Ivanka's birth was very smooth.
"Deng Deng Deng."
Suddenly, there was a sound of leather shoes hitting the ground.
Ivanka was seen lying beside the bed with her face pale and covered in sweat, and she and her wrinkled mixed-race child were pushed back to the ward.
"Boy, or girl?"
Dong Jianguo was even more anxious than Lu Fei and opened his mouth to ask.
The corners of Lu Fei's mouth twitched.
Don't interrupt, can you leave this moment to me?
"boy."
Ivanka was excited and satisfied. What she was satisfied with was that she finally got what she wanted and gave birth to a child for Lu Fei. What she was excited about was that it was a boy.
Just the family property can be divided more! Even if it is an illegitimate child!
"boy!!"
Dong Jianguo was once again more excited than Lu Fei. He unhesitatingly opened the corner of the fig leaf that wrapped the baby. It was indeed a handle.
"..."
Lu Fei was speechless again.
I’ve done all the action and expressions for you, what should I do?
Just when Dong Jianguo was about to speak, he hurriedly interrupted: "Have you decided what to name your child?"
"Isn't this waiting for you?"
Ivanka handed over the initiative.
"That's it, Jon."
Lu Fei thought for a moment and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Jon?"
Ivanka felt it was weird, but couldn't figure out what was weird about it, so she agreed and accepted Lu Feiqi's name.
"As for the Chinese name..."
Lu Fei looked at Jon with love in his eyes.
"And a Chinese name?" Ivanka was surprised and happy.
"you are not willing?"
"How come? What do you want to call him?"
"Yang, let's call him 'Lu Yang'."
Lu Fei rolled his eyes.
"Have you thought about it in advance?" Ivanka read it several times in her mouth, blinked and said, "Then have you thought about what the second child will be called?"
Lu Fei shook his head and laughed: "Look, you are in a hurry. Let's wait until you take good care of your body."
"I have contacted a confinement center in Los Angeles, which is very close to the movie theater where the premiere was held." Ivanka said with a smile, "Since you insist on letting me have confinement, then I will follow your Chinese tradition. In a few days
Just move over there and recuperate until the night of the premiere, come out for a while, and then recuperate according to the doctor's instructions, what do you think?"
Lu Fei nodded with satisfaction.
The United States does not provide paid maternity leave. Without maternity leave, many mothers have to go to work a few days after giving birth. Ivanka used the limited time to work hard to lose weight.
Finally, in May, I returned to being slightly fatter.
"Kakaka!"
Both sides of the red carpet leading to the cinema were filled with fans and fans, relying on the IP appeal of Marvel Comics and the creation of movies such as "Iron Man", "Black Widow", "Thor" and "Captain America"
With the linkage, the circle of fans continues to expand.
At this moment, there were crowds of people, screaming and shouting.
"Scarlett!"
"Iron Man! Iron Man!"
"Captain America! Captain America!"
When all the actors who participated in "Avengers" appeared together, the whole scene reached its climax. Fortunately, security was strengthened in advance, and they could barely block the crazy waves of people.
"This time, in order to build momentum for "Avengers", Ivanka and Lu really spent a lot of money."
"what do you think?"
"I haven't seen the finished film, so it's hard to draw a conclusion, but no matter how high the box office of a superhero movie is, how high can it be? The highest-grossing one right now is "The Dark Knight," and this is the only one to break $1 billion. Is it possible?
Do you think China Land can exceed 1.5 billion?"
"..."
Representatives from Warner and Universal were whispering, but their eyes were turned to Robert Iger. They never expected that he would personally go out on behalf of Disney to explore the reality of the Marvel Universe.
As we all know, Disney and Hantang were competing for the acquisition rights of Marvel, but in the end, Iger came up short.
The eyes of the busybodies lit up and their eyes were ambiguous——
What movie to watch!
I want to see rivers of blood! Fight! Fight!
Just under the huge expectations, Lu Fei and Zeng Li, Ivanka and Dong Jianguo appeared in pairs in the finale, causing an uproar.
The media were like dogs that smelled a bone. They separated into two groups at once, and one group caught the pushy Dong Jianguo.
"Not long ago, you announced on Twitter that you would run for the role of Commander-in-Chief in 2012. Is it because you played the role of Commander-in-Chief in "Avengers" that inspired you?"
"No, it's not a movie, it's reality."
Dong Jianguo faced the camera and gushed, "It was the shattering of the American dream that made me sober and gave me the determination to make America great again. I will definitely make the American dream return with unprecedented grandness and strength.
Will make America great again! Will make America strong again!"
"puff!"
The corners of Lu Fei's mouth couldn't help but raise crazily.
But under the constant pressure, he suppressed his laughter.
"Lu, why did you attend the premiere?"
A reporter from The Hollywood Reporter asked questions.
"Because it's very simple, "The Avengers" will be an epoch-making movie in Hollywood, and it is likely to be destined to be recorded in the annals of film history." Lu Fei said seriously, "It is different from the previous Hollywood point-and-shoot movie model, and it is different from the previous superhero movies.
The movie is also different, but a brand new movie universe model."
"Movie universe model?"
The reporters looked at each other, what new word is this?
"Yes, in the past superhero movies, although there were movies like The Dark Knight, Iron Man 1, Spider-Man, X-Men, and even earlier Batman, Superman and other box-office hits, they were basically isolated adventures.
When it comes out, there is no connection between heroes and heroes, especially in the form of combinations."
Lu Fei stretched out a finger, "It can be said that "Avengers" will usher in a new era of superheroes and a new chapter in Hollywood, because in the future, the concept of superhero movies and movie universes will definitely explode."
The reporters took a breath, you are really awesome!
But I’m not afraid of you bragging, I’m afraid you won’t brag. If you don’t brag, there’s no gimmick. News media rely on this to earn traffic!
"I'm from the Los Angeles Times. Since you have high hopes for "The Avengers," what is the estimated box office? Are you confident that it will break the record of $0.6 billion held by "The Dark Knight" as the highest box office for a superhero movie?"
"Yes, and I'm very confident! I estimate it to be around US$1.5 billion, but Ivanka and the others think I'm too optimistic. Conservative projections put it around US$1.1 billion to US$1.2 billion."
In an instant, the whole place was in an uproar.
1.5 billion? 1.1 billion? Is that so conservative?
Why is Mr. Lu's tone getting louder and louder!
Nowadays, the global box office of movies can exceed 1 billion US dollars, and only "Avatar", "Titanic", "Lord of the Rings", "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", as well as "The Dark Knight" and "Avengers" can do so.
$1 billion?
Lu Fei's "Haikou" spreads from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred.
Eventually, it also reached the ears of Warner, Universal and other executives. When Robert Iger heard this, he scoffed.
I thought Dong Jianguo was already shameless, but I didn't expect Lu Fei to be even more shameless! He simply didn't want Bilian!
Superhero movies, so prosperous? he tui!
Even if it weren't for Hollywood's unspoken rule of reducing internal friction, just because Lu Fei is so arrogant, he would have to snipe "Avengers" in terms of schedule and film arrangement no matter what.
But obviously, this is what the high-profile Lu Fei wants.
"If the reputation and box office of "The Avengers" meet our expectations, we will not rule out considering the exploration and development of other movie universe models in the future. Hollywood needs new blood and vitality. Perhaps, a new era is about to arrive."
The corner of Lu Fei's mouth curled up, and he kept saying nothing.
Seeing him leave after finishing his words, Zeng Li chased after him, but saw Ivanka's steps were shaky, so she grabbed her hand and gave her a hand.
"Thank you, Zeng."
Ivanka breathed out.
"The company is launching a new movie universe plan?"
Zeng Li and Ivanka walked into the cinema hand in hand.
"This is Lu's plan. It is a collaboration with China, Han and Tang Dynasties, and a Chinese and foreign co-production. There are currently three plans in total."
Ivanka said concisely and concisely.
The first one is the horror movie universe, with James Wan, who is good at thriller movies, as the chief producer, taking the "Conjuring" series as the main body and integrating movies such as "Dead Silence" and "Insidious".
The second one is the killer universe. Currently, the most popular action movies are "The Bourne Supremacy" and "The Rescue". Hantang is planning to look for a series of action movie scripts with a killer worldview.
"The third one is related to "Pacific Rim" starring you. We are planning to cooperate with Toho to obtain the copyright of "Godzilla" and create a monster movie universe."
Ivanka frowned and said: "But Lu very much hopes to introduce your Chinese mythological elements, called mountains, seas, seas..."
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas?" Zeng Li asked.
"That's right, it's the Classic of Mountains and Seas!"
Ivanka stretched her eyebrows and said: "In addition to Hollywood, we will also invite actors and actresses from China to co-star. Zeng, you are very lucky."
"Me?" Zeng Li said in surprise.
"Lu always puts you first. No matter which universe, there will be your independent movie." Ivanka said.
"But it's the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it's a new movie universe, and it has to take care of other commercial and artistic films. Does the company have enough funds?" Zeng Li couldn't help but worry.
"Money? Money is never a problem! As long as "Avengers" is successful, there will be no need to worry about raising money from Wall Street."
Ivanka is full of confidence.
Today's Han and Tang North America, after integrating Marvel Pictures and Summit Entertainment, have successively launched "Twilight", "Saw", Marvel superhero movies and other hit movies, and their valuation has approached the market value of the top five Hollywood companies.
Secured the sixth spot.
"But now I prefer to take on art films."
Zeng Li helped her to the designated seat in the theater.
""Silver Linings Playbook", are you interested?"
Ivanka blinked playfully.
"Are there any passionate scenes?" Zeng Li smacked her lips. She always used to borrow scenes and find substitutes for kissing scenes and passionate scenes.
Ivanka cleared her throat, "The male and female protagonists of the movie dance together, so physical contact is unavoidable. Ahem, in fact, any subject involving the sexes and love..."
"Then forget it." Zeng Li shook her head.
Ivanka said: "Zeng, this is a rare opportunity. "Silver Linings Playbook", we are not only preparing to participate in the Cannes Film Festival, but also to compete for the Oscars. Maybe you are very likely to win the Cannes Best Actress and the Oscar.
Best Actress nomination."
"I'm not very interested in actresses right now." Zeng Li smiled sweetly, "I'm now starting to transition into becoming a producer and director."
"Lu's opinion?"
"Um!"
"Ah."
Ivanka curled her lips.
"Why do you think you look so bad? Are you sick?"
Zeng Li saw her ugly face and changed the subject.
"It's not really sick, I just gave birth to a baby."
When Ivanka thought of Jon, her mood immediately turned cloudy.
"Child! Boy or girl?"
Zeng Li's eyes widened, then narrowed into a straight line.
"Boy." Ivanka showed a happy smile, "I am ready to take good care of my body and give birth to one, no, two children."
"..."
Zeng Li's face was expressionless, neither sad nor happy, but when Lu Fei's figure appeared in her sight, she saw him holding a bucket of sweet and salty popcorn in his hand and sitting in the empty seat between the two of them.
With her hand, she pinched his waist unconsciously.
"hiss!"
Lu Fei looked surprised, "What's wrong, senior?"
"Look at the good things you did!"
"???"
"I want to have a second child."
"ah?"
"Just tell me whether to give birth or not!"
Zeng Li blushed with embarrassment.
Lu Fei threw the popcorn into his mouth, surprised and confused. The only thought in his mind was, let her give birth! Let her give birth!
