That night, Yi Feiyang arrived at the White House on time under the escort of bodyguards. At the White House, President George W. Bush and his wife personally came out to greet them. What was rare was that this time the White House did not prevent the media reporters from interviewing them. It seemed that they intended to expose this matter.
Things escalated and everyone knew about it.
It's just a meal, is it necessary to make it so grand? Yi Feiyang deeply doubts the other party's purpose.
In the flash of lights, Yi Feiyang got out of the car and shook hands with President George W. Bush in person.
Crackling, the reporters around them all focused their spotlights on the two of them and took pictures, as if they wanted to publish this as tomorrow's front page headline.
"Nice to meet you, dear Yi!"
"Nice to meet you too, Mr. Bush!"
Both Yi Feiyang and George W. Bush have excellent acting skills. At least they fully demonstrated their friendship and love in front of reporters. To hell with the previous rumors of their discord!
The two kept greeting and chatting, and reporters around asked if they could conduct interviews. Bush waved and smiled and said: "This is just my private banquet for China Yi. It has no special meaning, so please forgive me and give us a little more."
Is the space good?”
After saying that, President George W. Bush invited Yi Feiyang in. Although reporters from surrounding media wanted to follow up, they were intercepted outside by White House security personnel. In the end, they could only wait there with regret, hoping to get a surprise after the meeting between the two.
Breaking news.
This was not the first time for Yi Feiyang to come to the White House. He was very familiar with the solemnity here, so he seemed very calm. There was no trace of nervousness or anxiety. He even looked at the heart of the United States and the little boy leading the way.
President Bush and a group of security personnel, Yi Feiyang actually had an evil idea in his mind. If a group of kidnappers suddenly appeared at this time, attacked the White House and kidnapped the president, what would be the result?!
Americans have always considered themselves to be imaginative, especially those filmmakers who like to joke about the White House. I remember there was a movie in the previous life called "White House Down." It was about a group of terrorists who captured the White House. Seeing a desperate situation, they were killed by a man.
The White House bodyguard came to the rescue.
I have to say that Americans are just so arrogant. Personal heroism is rampant. It seems that one person can save the world, but is this really the case? Everyone knows that if the White House falls, the entire United States will be embarrassed. By then, it is estimated that the people
He would sacrifice the president but also have to maintain face and eliminate these terrorists. Moreover, the Vice President of the United States, who has never been very ostentatious, has been waiting for such an opportunity. It seems that the deaths of many assassinated U.S. presidents are related to the vice president...
Oh, terrible politics!
Yi Feiyang couldn't help but sigh.
"Dear Yi, what's wrong with you? Why are you sighing so much?" President George W. Bush, who took the lead, asked with concern.
"Oh, it's nothing. I just remembered the last time I was here, and I didn't expect that time was wasted. I revisited my old place, so I sighed!"
"Last time? Haha, this shows that you are destined to the White House. You must know that not just anyone can dine here! This is an honor!" George W. Bush said very proudly.
"Go to hell, this kind of glory!" Yi Feiyang said in his heart, and said: "Yeah, it's so glorious, it's disturbing!"
Seeing Yi Feiyang like this, Bush couldn't help but feel even more proud.
…
A large snow-white dining table is filled with all kinds of delicacies. This is the standard set by the White House for banquet guests. Generally speaking, guests at White House banquets are divided into three levels: ABC. Level A means that the guests are distinguished and important, and the dishes are
The cuisine should meet the taste of the guests, which generally refers to the head of state, or a politician from another country. Level B means that the guest is very close and enthusiastic. Try to choose dishes that satisfy both parties, usually referring to relatives or friends of the president. Level C means that the guest belongs to
Ordinary type, banquets are held for ceremonial purposes, and the taste is relatively popular, so as not to be said to be luxurious. Generally refers to banquets that invite people from the public or show closeness to the people.
Yi Feiyang was invited to Class B, which meant that President George W. Bush regarded him as a good friend. A lot of thought was put into the fine wine and dishes on the table. In addition to traditional Western food, there were also some Chinese food.
point.
After sitting down, President George W. Bush took the lead in raising his glass and said, "Come on, dear Yi, to celebrate the successful completion of your new film! Cheers!"
Yi Feiyang smiled and clinked glasses with him, and the president's wife also drank some.
Judging from the current situation, the whole atmosphere is very friendly and harmonious.
At the beginning of dinner, George W. Bush and Yi Feiyang talked about some jokes and other topics from time to time. They did not involve politics or anything else, and of course, there were no movies.
Yi Feiyang knew that these were just "appetizers" and it was estimated that the real "meal" would not begin until the meal was over.
So Yi Feiyang stopped worrying, relaxed, and started eating and drinking.
About an hour later, the sumptuous dinner officially ended.
After wiping his mouth, President George W. Bush politely invited Yi Feiyang into the study for a gathering.
Go to the study room?
Yi Feiyang immediately knew that the drama was coming.
…
The president's study is very large, with three rows on the front and five rows on the side. It is densely packed with books. Most of these books are exquisite and gorgeous. I don't know if I have read them or not.
On the big desk next to the bookcase, there was a large globe. Yi Feiyang flicked it with his hand, and it spun around.
"Oh, dear Yi, it looks like you like this globe very much, doesn't it?" George W. Bush took out a cigar and handed it over.
Yi Feiyang was not polite, took the cigar, smelled it in front of his nose, and said: "Only those who know how to control the earth know how to control life!"
"Haha, what you said is so philosophical. It seems like you learned a lot when you returned to China this time." Bush said, opening another bottle of red wine, pouring a glass and passing it to Yi Feiyang, "Cigar, red wine, just
What a beauty!"
"It looks like this is the White House, doesn't it?" Yi Feiyang said with a smile.
"The president is also a human being, and a man!" George W. Bush said meaningfully, "Perhaps you have guessed it. My invitation to you this time is not just for a meal."
"Yes, I'm very curious." Yi Feiyang said. "I'm curious about what you want from me?"
"Yi, you are a smart man, so I won't beat around the bush with you. You know, I am very passive now, especially in politics. Many people who don't like me are attacking me. They want me to make a fool of myself. They want me to be embarrassed.
, I even hope that the damn war in Iraq can bury me alive!"
"But I won't give up so easily. Our family is all born of cowboys. Do cowboys know that I and the men in my family have that kind of fiery blood flowing in our bodies? We would rather die than give in!
"
"Haha, dear Mr. President, are you telling me about your family history? To be honest, I admire your actions in power. Yes, you have been a great and tough president in history, but I don't know that you
After saying so much, what do you want to express?" Yi Feiyang said, shaking the red wine glass.
"We're about to get down to business, don't be anxious, man...I just said, I won't give in easily, but my opponents like to make a big fuss in public opinion and the media...especially those who recently reflected on Iraq
Damn war movies. It makes me very passive!" George W. Bush said with a smile, "So I have an idea. A very good idea, that is to establish a movie alliance, to be precise, the Hollywood Movie Alliance! I know you and
The relationship between MGM and Columbia is very bad, but it doesn't matter. I can be the middleman to mediate the conflicts between you and turn your enemies into friends... My dear, in business, what you need is a harmonious person to make money, isn't this?
Is it something you Chinese people often say? Therefore, I hope you can consider carefully whether to accept my proposal." George W. Bush looked at Yi Feiyang with a smile, looking very kind and kind, but Yi Feiyang knew that in
Hidden behind this kindness is cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness.
"Well, that sounds like a very good idea..."
"You mean you accept it?"
"Haha, I just want to know, what are the conditions for me to accept this proposal?"
"Haha, I knew you were a smart man!" George W. Bush laughed, "You know, we only have one condition, and that is - let your Fantasy Entertainment go public!"
"Let Dream go on the market?" Yi Feiyang was stunned for a moment, "And then, it won't be that simple, right?"
"Of course not," George W. Bush shrugged. "As your dear friends, we will acquire some equity in your company. This will also make us closer, won't it?"
Yi Feiyang smiled, "I don't think so, you should be the one who can control the direction of our company!"
"Haha, if you know it, don't tell me. It's so boring. You should understand that I don't allow big entertainment companies to exist within our control. Yi, doing this will be good for you and me. Yes.
With the support of the government, you can become the king of Hollywood!"
"King of Hollywood? A very tempting name." Yi Feiyang smiled, "But in your eyes, maybe that is just a puppet, and you are the real king!"
Bush smiled arrogantly, "Whatever you say, you have no choice now! Yi, there is a saying in China that he who knows the current affairs is a hero. If you and I join forces, we can control the entire Hollywood, even MGM and Columbia.
I can help you get it done, otherwise..."
"What else?" Yi Feiyang did not avoid George W. Bush's forcing gaze at all.
"How about it? Yi, many people don't like you. You know, this is the United States, and you, a Chinese, attract so much attention. This is not a good thing... As an American president, I have the responsibility to help orthodox Hollywood entertainment
Corporation, to defeat their enemies!"
"You mean, I'm the enemy?"
"Oh no, no, no, in my opinion, there is no such thing as friends and enemies in this world, everything is just in your thoughts!"
Yi Feiyang smiled and then stood up, "Okay, thank you dear President, thank you for the dinner, and thank you for your teaching! I have benefited a lot today, but now I need to go back!"
"Haha, it's okay to go back. Go back and consider my proposal! Yi, you are still very young, I don't want you to go astray, understand?" Bush still looked like a kind old man, and seemed to care about Yi Feiyang.
.
…
As soon as Yi Feiyang came out of the White House, he was immediately surrounded by reporters outside.
"Mr. Yi, what did you gain from this trip to the White House?" This is the question asked by a reporter from Hollywood Magazine.
Seeing at least dozens of reporters rushing in front with their cameras and microphones stretched out to him, Yi Feiyang smiled happily: "Let's not talk about the harvest. I had a great conversation with the President, and by the way, I even drank a bottle of him.
Excellent wine!”
"But doesn't President Bush have a grudge against Fantasy Entertainment? It has been rumored that the relationship between you is very bad. Could it be said that this time it is being repaired?" The same Hollywood magazine asked, and it seemed that it did not give this director Yi a bit.
face.
"Our Fantasy Entertainment is just a company. The president is busy with official duties, so how can he compare with the previous ones. As for the repair you mentioned, it doesn't exist at all." Yi Feiyang is not angry at all. This is freedom of the press, and this is what he needs.
A reporter who is not afraid of power. "As for what we talked about together, I can't tell you for the time being."
"Dear Yi, I heard that the government intends to win over people from the film industry in order to build momentum for its war in Iraq. What do you think about this?" Another reporter asked loudly, and the whole audience almost fell silent at that moment and everyone stared at the reporter.
Yi Feiyang knew this question very well, and he asked it very cleverly. Asking himself, who had just been won over, how he felt about being won over? It would be better to ask what conditions the government had set for him. But Yi Feiyang's calmness was no longer the best.
He was generally stronger, but still maintained a cheerful smile: "What media is this from?"
"I'm a reporter from "News of the World"!" The guy replied loudly and arrogantly. There was a commotion at the scene. "News of the World" is notorious in the entertainment industry.
"News of the World" is the magazine owned by Murdoch that was forced to close due to the wiretapping incident in the future? It is notorious.
"It seems that you have reported that Mr. Dures is gay, right?" Yi Feiyang couldn't help but laugh loudly. This magazine once suspected that Dures was gay, implying that he and Yi Feiyang were gay. In the end,
Yi Feiyang brought out Anne Hathaway, and such lies were self-evident. And this newspaper also became the laughing stock of the world, and became a matter of ridicule for reporters across the United States. When Yi Feiyang mentioned it, the reporter was immediately ashamed.
"I'm willing to answer your question, but I hope you won't make any nonsense out of my answer!" Yi Feiyang chuckled and said a few sarcastic words.
"That's right. President Bush just discussed with me the general trend of the future development of Hollywood. He believes that the Iraq War is a victory for all the American people and is a correct plan that cannot be overturned. He is very disgusted with the media that opposes him.
I am especially disgusted with those movies that specifically reflect him!" Yi Feiyang sneered and started acting.
"Movies understand, man? Our President hates those kinds of movies, so he's thinking of a good way to solve this problem... Of course, I'm not him, I don't understand, and I don't know what's good about him.
There is no way, but I hope everyone can work together to help him. What do you think is a good way?" Yi Feiyang asked the reporter with a smile.
The reporter was obviously aroused by Yi Feiyang's question. He was dumbfounded for a moment and said casually: "Of course it's about controlling big companies and attacking small companies!"
Yi Feiyang laughed: "You said this, I didn't!"
The reporter: "..." He instantly understood that he had made a fatal mistake! How could he describe the President as so despicable? Although he is really despicable...
The other reporters all burst out laughing, making the reporter want to find a place to get in.
At this time, another reporter asked Yi Feiyang: "Dear Mr. Yi, have you decided to join the President's camp? You must know that not long ago, the President privately entertained the heads of the three major Hollywood film companies..."
This question made Yi Feiyang flick his fingers a few times, and his eyebrows were raised high. His emotions fluctuated greatly, but he still smiled and thanked her calmly: "Thank you for the reminder. I want to be with you."
It’s hard for me to give a definite answer until we talk to Mr. Dures!”
After leaving the White House and getting in the car, Fat Jack, who was waiting in the car, couldn't help but angrily cursed: "This damn president actually wants to control our company! Boss, don't give them face this time!"
Yi Feiyang nodded to him and fell into deep thought.
Since George W. Bush made it so grand, it seems that he has already decided that if we can't be friends, we will be enemies. There is no turning back!
The most important thing is that I can never agree to George W. Bush's seemingly perfect but actually extremely harsh conditions. To allow myself to open Fantasy Entertainment Company and officially list it on Wall Street means to let myself show off the fat meat of Fantasy, and then let
They are hungry wolves sharing the food. It is conceivable that as long as he agrees to this condition, Bush will use shell companies and the names of others to force himself to sell most of the shares of Fantasy Entertainment at the lowest price. You will see for yourself when the time comes.
Although he may appear to be famous, his life has actually been manipulated. Even if he does become the king of Hollywood as George W. Bush said, he is just a puppet wearing a crown.
Yi Feiyang has experienced the huge power of the Bush family. Now with the authority of the government, Yi Feiyang has no confidence to defeat the opponent. What's more, they will never fight against him head-on. If the guess is correct, Bush Jr. will have to fight with him next.
MGM, and Columbia have joined forces.
Yi Feiyang had a headache.
The opponent is too powerful. So powerful that I have no confidence to defeat the opponent. In fact, as Bush said, as a Chinese-American, he has made such great achievements in the United States, and in the most conspicuous entertainment media, he has become
A thorn in the side of many American racists, they are all waiting to see their own jokes, to see how they fall, how they go bankrupt, and how they roll back to China like a lost dog.
"No, I will never give in like this! Never!" Yi Feiyang punched the seat hard, with strong anger in his eyes, the anger of a tyrant!
