The superstar starts from the termination of the contract

Chapter 1107 Warm hospitality
Soon the receptionist left Lu Fan and his luggage at the hotel, and drove to Bill's manor without too much delay.

The first time Lu Fan and the others went to Bill’s villa, it was a rich area. Many rich, powerful and famous people in Los Angeles bought houses there, and they seldom live there. The biggest effect is actually The golden house hides the charm.

There are a few things that any man in the world will definitely do after he becomes famous, that is, return to his hometown after being rich, and find more confidante.

A certain gentleman once said: "So I resigned and went into business."

Doing business is to make money, and then a few women for a few days.

This time, Lu Fan and the others did not go to the villa area, but to the manor further away.

This place is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and the living environment is excellent, which is very suitable for big shots to cultivate themselves on a daily basis.

Before arriving at the manor, Lu Fan saw many houses in front of him from a distance, surrounded by a huge wall, covering an area of ​​at least several thousand acres.

There is no doubt that this must be Bill's estate.

And apart from the manor, there are no houses nearby. It seems that this area is exclusive to Bill and belongs to his private area.

When he got closer, Lu Fan discovered that the roads of the manor extend in all directions. Although there are no other people except the manor, the traffic is quite convenient.

"Is Mr. Bill's manor in front?" Lu Fan asked the reception next to him.

The receptionist replied politely: "Yes, we will be there in a few minutes. I am really sorry, all guests, you have worked hard."

Everyone was already familiar with the enthusiasm of the reception, and did not express anything, but when Lin Fanghua heard that the large house in front was Bill's manor, he couldn't help showing a shocked look, and sighed: "It's so big!"

Although the receptionist couldn't understand what she said, he could tell from her expression and tone, she didn't say much, just smiled silently.

Because I don't know how many receptionists have seen people like Lin Fanghua. After all, it's rare to see a manor like the boss with an area of ​​several thousand acres.

Moreover, the manor is just a more general name. In fact, the various facilities inside seem like a small world.

There are swimming pools, golf courses, race tracks and other places of activity inside, not to mention ordinary sports, karaoke, movies, gambling, etc., almost everything.

In short, when you enter the manor, there are only things you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't achieve without it.

And few people know that although it is rumored that the manor covers an area of ​​several thousand mu, the real situation is far more than this figure.

As a local politician and businessman in Los Angeles, Bill still has such ability, strength, and financial resources.

Only Lu Fan and Wang Wen were relatively calm. Anyway, they are also big figures in everyone's eyes. Even if they don't have such a place, they have seen it from other places.

With Lu Fan's current financial resources, he can't afford to build such a large manor, but he is not particularly envious of it.

Lu Fan has always felt that money is something outside of the body, as long as it is enough, it will be a series of numbers in the future.

When we arrived at the manor, there was another layer of strict security checks, and even some high-tech that only appeared in movies appeared here.

During the security check, Lu Fan also found that many cameras were installed on the entire periphery, covering almost all areas. In addition, there are many power grids around the outermost edge.

Generally, few people would come to this place. It is estimated that the reason for this is to prevent the invasion of wild animals.

As for your own people, if you have nothing to do, you will definitely not touch those power grids, right?
Entering the manor, Lu Fan found that many people were walking wolf dogs, as if there were special trainers training them.

These wolf dogs were huge in size, and one or two of them were estimated to be about the size of an adult lion. Lin Fanghua and Wang Wen couldn't help turning pale when they saw this scene.

Lu Fan was also a little uncomfortable, although he knew very well that these huge wolfhounds would not attack anyone before they were ordered.

But human beings have a natural fear of these beasts, not to mention ferocious wolf dogs, many of which are eating raw meat on the spot.

Perhaps seeing Lu Fan and the others looked strange, they explained to the people sitting in the electric convertible, which is the kind of car that is common on golf courses: "Because there are often wild animals around, it has caused a lot of damage to the boss's life. Although there is a power grid installed around to prevent them from invading, it is quite annoying. There is no way the boss can only raise a pack of wolf dogs to prevent wild beasts from approaching."

Lu Fan nodded with a smile, but didn't say anything about it.

If we saw the manor from a distance on the road just now, everyone’s idea of ​​its size is only in imagination, but now that we are riding in the electric convertible and driving all the way to the main building, Lu Fan has a deep understanding of how big it is. What means.

From the security check at the entrance, it has been 10 minutes since I got on the electric convertible, but I still haven't reached the destination. One can imagine how vast the manor is.

Along the way, Lu Fan and the others also saw a lot of scenery. The outermost part belongs to that kind of wild pasture, but the closer to the main building, the various facilities are modernized.

Some people were riding horses in the manor, some were racing cars not far away, and some people found an open space for a picnic. If Lu Fan didn't follow the road and someone led the way, Lu Fan might not be able to Find a house.

The people in the manor were not particularly surprised by Lu Fan's arrival. At most, they just took a few glances and then went about their business.

Because Bill often confesses to the distinguished guests here, and many times of experience told them that if this matter has nothing to do with him, they should not mix it indiscriminately.

After about two to three minutes, Lu Fan and others got out of the car and finally came to the buildings.

This is the center of the manor. The receptionist introduced that Bill is waiting inside at the moment, and all distinguished guests are invited to enter.

Under the guidance of the receptionist, Lu Fan and others walked in. When he was outside just now, Lu Fan took a look at these buildings, but felt that they were very luxurious and rich, and he knew that a lot of money had been spent.

But he is not so clear about the style and age of the building. After all, for him, he was just an ordinary rural boy before he became famous, and he didn't spend time studying these things after becoming famous.

When they came inside, even though Lu Fan and the others were mentally prepared, they couldn't help being surprised. Although he didn't know what the palace was like, the scene in front of him was no different from the legendary palace, right?

The first floor has at least hundreds of planes, and there are many expensive paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls. Lu Han suddenly found that there are also Chinese calligraphy and ink paintings, such as Picasso and Van Gogh's works. As for whether it is a fake, Lu Fan has a look Can't see it either.

There are curved stairs on both sides, which can lead to the second floor. They are dark red, and Lu Fan doesn't know what kind of wood they are made of.

There are two huge pillars standing on the outside of the stairs, which are golden in color, and it seems that they should be pasted with gold.

The chandelier above the head was also very huge, and under the light, it shone like a golden color. Lu Fan suspected that it was made of real gold.

In addition, the floor under the feet and other decorations in the room all reveal the words of luxury and luxury.

Wang Wen and Lin Fanghua remained silent, presumably also stunned by the sight in front of them.

When Lu Fan wanted to watch it again, Bill came down from the second floor. He heard his voice before hearing him, and said with a big smile, "Mr. Lu Fan, welcome! I'm glad we meet again."

The voice came from the second floor, and Lu Fan and the others looked up at the stairs, only to see Bill wearing formal attire, walking down the stairs on the right.

There are many servants behind him, holding various items in their hands, some are champagne, and some are other things, not just limited to food.

As soon as Bill appeared, there were still many people busy on the first floor, but at this moment they all retreated out. In the huge lobby, only Lu Fan, Bill and a group of servants were left.

The servants put the items in their hands on a table in the middle, and soon covered the table made of crystal.

There are food and tableware on the table, and they are all relatively advanced ingredients in the eyes of Westerners, such as caviar, foie gras, shark fin and so on.

After the servants put down the food and tableware, they all exited the lobby, leaving only two younger girls to entertain the guests for their boss.

"Hello, Mr. Bill." Lu Fan was a person who had seen the world anyway. Although Bill's etiquette in entertaining him was indeed of the highest standard, he still behaved relatively calmly.

Wang Wen and Lin Duanhua also greeted Bill.

Bill smiled and said, "You're welcome, everyone, please sit down. Since we are here, we are good friends."

Wang Wen and Lin Fanghua remained silent throughout. They knew that today's protagonist is Lu Fan, and they are only supporting roles, and supporting roles should do their job well.

The meal was pleasant, and Bill didn't talk about the movie, which he obviously thought was extremely rude.

To be honest, although the food and drink today are very expensive and rich, and there are many things that cannot be bought with money, Lu Fan can't taste anything.

For example, foie gras is very popular among some Westerners, but Lu Fan's mouth is indeed not as good as he imagined.

There were also caviar, salmon, etc. Lu Fan almost spat it out when he took the first bite.

He didn't know why many celebrities were so keen on these things. In terms of the taste and delicacy of the food alone, these western dishes were far inferior to Chinese ones.

Do many people want to improve their social status and taste through some external things?
It's like taking some photos in the circle of friends, often going to high-end places, accompanied by luxury cars every day, and eating food that looks very high-end, even ordinary people have never heard of it, and then she can become a person people?
You must know that young girls who wear Hermes are not necessarily very rich. It is possible that their brand-name bags, brand-name clothes, and even the stockings on their legs may be rented.

And it's still rented together!

The bottle of champagne and red wine opened at the scene also looked very high-end, and there is no doubt that there must be some years.

But when Lu Fan drank it, he didn't feel any difference from ordinary red wine. Of course, this does not mean that the taste of Lafite in 82 is really the same as ordinary red wine. There must be a big gap between them.

It's just like a person who doesn't know how to drink can't taste tens of thousands of Moutai and ten yuan of Niulanshan!
Although Lu Fan doesn't like these foods very much, he still has to show a feeling that they are not unpalatable. Now that he has cooperated with Bill, he treats him so graciously, and the basic face is also for others.

There were no twists and turns during the meal, and Bill also showed his rare humor, chatting with Lu Fan and the three of them very happily.

After eating, Bill asked Lu Fan how the food was today, and Lu Fan replied with a smile: "It's really good!"

Later, Bill invited Lu Fan and the others to play golf. Originally, Lu Fan didn't know how to play golf, but he bought this skill in the system on the spot and directly upgraded it to the top level, which shocked everyone when he shot it.

Because there are two professional golf coaches in the manor, they are not said to be the best in Los Angeles, but at least they can be ranked in the top five, and they have no backhand power when they fight against Lu Fan.

Seeing this situation, Bill asked in surprise, "Have you ever practiced golf systematically, sir?"

"I used to like it better, and I practiced it for a while, so I know it a little bit." Lu Fan said modestly.

"Genius, it's a genius!" Bill praised lavishly. These two golf coaches were specially invited by him to accompany the distinguished guests, such as business partners or political leaders.

Bill knew their level very well, but he didn't expect to be beaten so hard by Lu Fan!
Lin Fanghua showed an envious expression on the side, how can this Brother Lu know everything!

After playing golf, it was getting late, and Bill invited Lu Fan to ride a horse, just in time to talk about the movie.

Lu Fan probably guessed what he was thinking, nodded, got on the horse with him, and started trotting in the vast manor.

Lu Fan didn't know how to ride a horse, but the system also has this skill, so even if he has never ridden a horse before, he is very proficient at the moment.

When Bill saw this scene, he was surprised again. Who the hell is this Chinese man!
It seems that there is nothing he can't do at all!
"Mr. Lu Fan, have you learned how to ride a horse again?" Bill gasped in admiration, becoming more and more interested in this Chinese man.

All the great people have the same heart and mind. After achieving success and fame, when they see that kind of young and promising young people, they especially want to cultivate them, so as not to waste their talents.

Bill didn't want to cultivate Lu Fan, he could also see that the current Lu Fan was not comparable to ordinary people at all, and his only thought at the moment was to hope to make friends.

"It will be a little bit." Lu Fan nodded slightly.

Bill's own equestrian level is not low, so the two galloped around the manor.

As women, Wang Wen and Lin Fanghua didn't like this kind of dangerous activity very much, so they were arranged to have fun elsewhere.

Huge manor, in fact, is no different from a bustling small city.

Lu Fan and Bill rode for a long time in one breath, and then stopped when they felt a little tired.

Bill said to Lu Fan: "Mr. Lu, your new movie will be released in a few days. Do you have any ideas, or opinions?"

Lu Fan shook his head: "It can't be said that I have a very special idea. I just hope that our box office will be higher by then, so that everyone can make money. Only if the first cooperation is happy, we can cooperate better next time."

Bill laughed. He didn't expect Lu Fan to answer so realistically, but it was good. After getting tired of the intrigues and intrigues in the officialdom and shopping malls, it made people feel more comfortable to be direct.

"But I don't know if Mr. Lu is satisfied with my publicity arrangement? There will be a press conference tomorrow night, which is specially held for "Red Fan District". I wonder if Mr. Lu is interested in participating?"

"Very happy!" Lu Fan replied with a nod. In fact, the answer is yes. He took such a long flight to come to the United States in order to better promote "Red Fan District".

But before that, Bill didn't say that he would hold a press conference specifically for "Red Fan District", so Lu Fan was a little surprised by such an arrangement.

Bill always speaks with such "enthusiasm", and Lu Fan is used to it.

"Many people on the Internet are looking forward to your action movie, even surpassing Thomas' "Iron Fist" at one point. The fans are very enthusiastic!" Thomas, the successor to an action superstar, did not expect that one day he would lose to his opponent in an action movie.

"Mr. Bill publicized all of this well. After all, I am an unknown newcomer. If it weren't for your vigorous publicity, who would know the existence of this movie?" Lu Fan was also very polite, and put all the credit on Bill. .

"As a partner, all of this is what I should do." Bill turned over and got off the horse, lit a cigar, and motioned for Lu Fan to smoke one too, but the latter shook his head and refused.

"Actually, before this, I hoped that you could cooperate with Thomas once. Now those famous actors are old, and future movies will have to be watched by you young people. You all have real skills. If you have the opportunity to cooperate, then absolutely It will push kung fu movies to the top again."

Lu Fan also got off his horse and stood aside, he laughed and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Bill, there will definitely be a chance in the future." But he thought in his heart that if you hadn't deliberately insulted me last time, maybe the two parties would have cooperated already.

However, this can be regarded as a mistake. If it were not for this reason, "Red Fan District" might not be able to be filmed until now.

The focus of the movie's promotion is naturally "Iron Fist". Thomas is still the successor of the Kung Fu superstar, and he is just an unknown Chinese actor!
