Chapter 2307 People are stupid and have more money
"This place is really nice. I didn't expect that Seth MacFarlane is quite rich." Liu Xiaoxiao looked around and saw that both the decoration and the waiters were of high quality.
You know, the Hilton is the place where the Oscars are held. I don’t say it’s great here, but it’s not bad at all.
"That's not true. Seth would rather hold a cocktail party on the lawn outside and save the venue money for filming a movie." Li Han said with a smile.
"So this is Universal Pictures, which has a lot of money?" Liu Xiaoxiao muttered. "I don't know how much money I invested, but I was quite willing to do it when promoting it."
"It's just superficial," Natalie said. "I just checked and there isn't much publicity on the Internet and some media. As for holding a cocktail party, maybe it's not just about promoting the movie."
"Ah." Liu Xiaoxiao muttered. "Why, I haven't seen Hollywood's overwhelming publicity in China."
"That's a big movie, a big name." Natalie said.
Natalie saw Liu Xiaoxiao and said with a confused smile, "Do you know what is the easiest way to succeed in Hollywood?"
"Of course he is a genius." Liu Xiaoxiao said.
"Genius, you said genius in acting, haha, do you know how many people there are in the Screen Actors Guild and the Screen Actors Guild of America? Do you know, 120,000?" Natalie said, pointing with a smile and pointing behind Li Han with a few mumbles.
Villain. "Oh, these little guys are also members of the trade union."
"How many?" Liu Xiaoxiao asked in surprise. "Pandora and the others too?"
"Haha, so is Xiao Hei Hei." Natalie said with a smile.
"A bear?"
"Of course, if you want to act in the United States, you have to join a union." Natalie said. "These people control the entire film and TV series market, so you understand."
Liu Xiaoxiao curled her lips, thinking that the United States was different from China, as long as you had the ability, you could get into it.
Li Han looked at Liu Xiaoxiao, seemed a little disappointed and smiled. "Don't listen to Natalie, talented people will eventually succeed. As for failure, talent is nothing."
"That's true." Liu Xiaoxiao thought it right.
"Han, you are really good at comforting people." Natalie curled her lips.
"Okay, it's almost time, it's time to go out." Li Han said with a smile, and the housekeeper prepared the car.
Li Han had driven a black Bentley several times, but this time he let the driver drive it for the cocktail party.
The reception was at the Hilton Hotel. Li Han had been here several times and was no stranger to it.
"There are many reporters outside."
From a distance, you can see reporters at the door, fighting with each other.
"There are several big stars coming tonight," Li Han said with a smile. "Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and other stars that Universal Pictures has good relationships with will come over."
"No wonder."
The car stopped and several people got out of the car. Many reporters thought it was the celebrity. It was obvious that no one recognized the people who got off the car. "Who are these people?"
"Hey, look, that little black bear seems to be the black bear in the Teddy Bear promotional video, right?"
"That's right."
"No wonder."
Xiao Heihei suddenly became the protagonist, and Li Han, Natalie, Liu Xiaoxiao, Dudu and other villains completely became the background wall.
"Haha, these guys are really unprofessional in their work." Liu Xiaoxiao curled her lips and said. "Han, you are a movie investor, and these people don't even know."
"Haha, Universal Pictures won't publicize the investment too much," Li Han said.
"Why?" Liu Xiaoxiao looked confused.
"It is a surprising thing for Chinese people to invest in making movies. The United States is not as open as you think, especially the film industry. Universal Pictures cooperates with a Chinese to make a movie. Haha, do you think If you think about it, you’ll understand why.”
"Isn't the United States famous for its open democracy?" Liu Xiaoxiao said.
"Every country says that."
"Let's go."
The venue for the reception is not small, and Universal Pictures really spent a lot of money on it.
"Mr. Li, Miss Pandora, come here." Seth MacFarlane's assistant saw Li Han and others coming and hurriedly greeted them.
"I'll go and notify Mr. MacFarlane right away."
"You're welcome. Let's sit down for a while. There's no need to greet us specifically."
Li Han came to the reception, firstly to give Seth MacFarlane his name, and secondly, to bring Dudu and Xiao Heihei. As for some celebrities and guests, Li Han was not very interested in making friends with them.
"Mr. Li."
The person in charge of publicity at Universal Pictures walked over to say hello.
“The reception was quite good.”
Li Han said with a smile.
The person in charge smiled and introduced to Li Han that several actors who have worked well with Universal Pictures are all big names and passionate actors. Of course, it is impossible for all of these big names to come, so let's take a look at a few.
Of course, when I introduced investor Li Han, the conversation was quite good, at least the attitude was not arrogant.
It was just a bit polite. As for the superficial enthusiasm, after not much chatting, Li Han found a quiet place to sit down.
Who would have thought that there are many beauties looking for Li Han, who is more or less a little star.
"Han, they are quite popular." Liu Xiaoxiao curled her lips. "After all, why aren't Chinese investors welcome? You can see that there are almost a dozen beauties here."
"Everyone here is a small character. Did you see a big name coming?"
"Weren't you chatting with those big names just now?" Liu Xiaoxiao muttered.
"It's just a courtesy. We are not friends. We look at Universal Pictures's reputation, and Franklin's." Li Han said with a smile.
"I know more or less what these big names think in their hearts," Li Han said.
"How did you think of it?"
"When you meet a bully, it doesn't hurt to get acquainted with him. Maybe one day you will be able to use this bully," Li Han said.
"Why are you chatting so warmly with them?" Liu Xiaoxiao, this is really possible.
“Appearance is always necessary.”
Li Han said, "No, I didn't even talk for a long time before I came over. Who knows, it would be even more annoying."
"Haha, these little stars, when they come to see you, do they have any small notes or anything like that?" Liu Xiaoxiao asked in a low voice, leaning closer.
Li Han smiled bitterly. "After all, this is where Universal Pictures is hosting a reception."
As for the small note, Li Han is not interested. Of course, these small stars hope to have a good relationship with Li Han, but they are more eager than the big names. Big names have more resources. There is no harm in getting to know Li Han. As for the small stars, they are more eager to get along with Li Han. Celebrities are more attentive and a bit fawning.
Fortunately, these people are respectable. Otherwise, Universal Pictures wouldn't hire them. Otherwise, they would be really messed up if they were hired as minor players.
"The Chinese guy didn't look angry at all."
Universal Pictures did not deliberately promote Li Han, and certainly did not deliberately conceal it.
"The profit evaluation of this movie has been released." The member of the investment department said calmly to the person in charge of publicity.
"how?"
"Less than twenty percent."
"That's not to say it's almost no money."
"Even losing money."
"No wonder you are dragging this Chinese guy with you."
"He came to the door himself."
"Haha, it turns out that people are stupid and have too much money."
The two said with a smile, raised their glasses, and glanced at Li Han in the distance.
"Han, do you know those two people?" Liu Xiaoxiao signaled to Li Han that someone on the other side was raising a glass.
Li Han smiled and picked up the wine glass. "He is the investor representative of Universal Pictures and the person in charge of Teddy Bear Promotion."
"So young." Liu Xiaoxiao muttered. "It seems that Universal Pictures doesn't pay much attention to this movie. Han, your investment will not be in vain."
"I'm not sure about this, but I'm just giving it a try. After all, the return on film investment is pretty good," Li Han said. "This can be considered an opportunity."
"Okay, Han, next time you have too much money and you can't use it, tell me not to throw it away. You might even see some bubbles." Liu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes speechlessly.
This guy is really brave. He doesn't understand the film market and yet he dares to invest just for a chance.
Of course, you must know that Li Han can become an investor this time not only because Universal Pictures has a very low profit assessment of the film and is unwilling to invest, but also because of Seth MacFarlane's relationship, otherwise Li Han, a Chinese, would like to invest
As you can imagine, Hollywood movies are very difficult.
Even so, if this movie fails too much, it will be almost impossible for Li Han to invest in it.
It's just that Liu Xiaoxiao doesn't understand this. Entering the film market is not only about making money.
"Foolish people have too much money."
At present, Universal Pictures and several film companies, some investors still have a somewhat negative impression of Li Han, especially some unpopular film directors, the temptation is still quite high.
Everyone likes to meet people who have a lot of money. But Li Han had a lot of business cards stuffed in his pocket. They were all second- and third-rate directors. Although these people were not very good, their status was higher than that of actors. Universal Pictures
I don’t want to offend these people. Maybe one day another Spielberg will appear here.
