Entertainment: The opening and the official announcement of the national goddess

Chapter 405 Welcome Dinner, Box Office Prediction (Please recommend and collect)

Zhang Xiao replied with a smile: "Because Marvel's heroes are very popular in the Lighthouse Country, and DC has also succeeded, Marvel can definitely."

"As long as so many heroes under their umbrella are moved to the big screen, with amazing special effects from Hollywood, success is easy."

"Actually, at that time, many entertainment companies had plans for Marvel, but unfortunately they wanted to control Marvel, and I just wanted to simply invest and make money without management, so they sold it to me."

Reba took a sip of water, sat there blankly for a while, then digested what Zhang Xiao said, and then said to Zhang Xiao: "Brother-in-law, did sister Mimi say that you Just a gambler?"

Zhang Xiao nodded first, and said, "She did."

Then he shook his head and said, "But, I don't call it gambling, but investment."

Reba looked helpless, and fell into silence again. After a while, he asked again: "Then sister Mimi knows that you are the second largest shareholder of Disney?"

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "I told her a long time ago, but, like you, she doesn't believe it."

Reba nodded heavily and said: "Of course, it's strange that such a big matter can be believed all of a sudden."

Zhang Xiao laughed loudly, and said: "But the fact is so, there is nothing you can do if you don't believe it."

At 07:30 in the afternoon, the stretched Lincoln car slowly stopped at the entrance of the hotel where the dinner was held.

The car door opened, and Zhang Xiao, who was dressed in a neat suit, got out of the car, followed by a well-dressed Reba, who followed with a smile.

Although she was just a sister-in-law, Yang Mi couldn't come this time, and Reba couldn't embarrass Zhang Xiao, so she dressed up carefully.

A light red floor-length dress showed off her hot and enchanting figure. The diamond necklace around her neck looked extraordinarily dazzling under the light, and her exotic face made her even more charming.

"Mr. Zhang, Ms. Reba, hello, I'm Herman." At this time, a handsome middle-aged man who appeared to be in his 40s greeted him immediately, and introduced himself respectfully.

Behind him stood Kevin and Chen Li.

This is the first time for Zhang Xiao to see Herman in person. After sizing him up calmly, he stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Helped me with the promotion and release of the three films "Inception."

Herman stretched out his hand quickly and said, "This is all as it should be."

Zhang Xiao smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Kevin, and said with a smile: "Mr. Kevin, your body seems to be plump a lot. It seems that you have a good life in Disney!"

Kevin said with a smile: "There is a famous saying in Huaguo that the heart is wide and the body is fat. Marvel movies have achieved great success. It is normal for me to be a little fat!"

Zhang Xiao couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

Seeing that Herman and Kevin, two big Hollywood figures, were so respectful in front of Zhang Xiao, Reba standing behind Zhang Xiao was shocked, and at the same time envious of Yang Mi.

Accompanied by the two bosses in person, Zhang Xiao walked into the hotel with Reba and arrived at the dinner party.

At this time, the crew of "Inception" and the executives of Disney Entertainment have already talked, and everyone is holding red wine glasses, chatting very enthusiastically.

After seeing Zhang Xiao coming in, everyone all set their eyes on him.

Herman stepped forward and said loudly: "Everyone, the protagonists of our banquet tonight have arrived. They are Mr. Zhang Xiao and Ms. Reba next to me. First of all, let us welcome Mr. Zhang to speak for us with the warmest applause."

"Clap clap clap!"

When the boss arrived, all the top executives of the Disney Film Company naturally did not dare to neglect, and gave warm applause one after another.

Zhang Xiao raised his hand, pressed it down, and the applause stopped immediately.

"Everyone may have seen it on the screen, my Chinese name is Zhang Xiao, and my English name is Bruce Zhang, which I randomly picked up by myself, just like Kung Fu superstar Bruce Lee."

"Thank you very much Mr. Herman for hosting this welcome dinner for us. As a member of Disney, I am very honored to be able to join this big family."

"As you know, I've been busy shooting movies for the past two years, and I've never been to Disney headquarters or even sat on a board of directors, but that doesn't mean I don't care about Disney."

"There is an old saying in China, that people are valuable if they have self-knowledge. I only position myself as an actor. Things like managing companies are really not my specialty, so I won't cause you any trouble."

"I came here this time mainly to promote Director Chris and my new movie "Inception". I believe some of us have already seen the full version."

"However, I haven't watched it yet, but I believe that this movie must be very exciting. I hope that everyone can help in the global promotion and distribution of "Inception" in the future."

"After the movie is sold out, director Chris and I will definitely hold a grand dinner to thank everyone for your help. Of course, there will definitely be red envelopes."

"How big is the red envelope?" At this time, Alice, the heroine who played Deni in the movie, asked.

"Hahaha!" Everyone at the scene burst into laughter.

Zhang Xiao shook his head and said, "Ms. Alice, as a beautiful woman, can we be a little more reserved?"

Alice smiled and said, "Zhang, I'm a well-known money fan in Hollywood."

"Okay!" Zhang Xiao really didn't expect that someone would be so generous to admit that he is a money fan, and continued: "I can tell you clearly that the size of the red envelope will be in charge of the director Chris next to you. You can go to him directly."

Chris patted his forehead, smiled wryly and said, "Zhang, you have given me a problem of the century!"

"Hahaha!" Zhang Xiao laughed loudly and said, "No way, who made you an investor?"

"Everyone, let us raise our glasses together, and wish "Inception" a worldwide hit, cheers!"

"cheers!"

Everyone held up the wine glasses in their hands, very much to Zhang Xiao's face, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Heilman took Zhang Xiao to meet Disney's top management, and Zhang Xiao naturally did not forget to bring Reba to see the world.

These high-level executives are better than each other in Hollywood. Unless it is a big director like Chris or a superstar of the king level, otherwise, they will not put any artist in their eyes.

But when facing Zhang Xiao, these people had smiles on their faces.

Especially those high-ranking women, they praised Reba, Zhang Xiao's relative, so fiercely that Reba's face turned red and he felt a little embarrassed.

"Director Chris, do you dare to make a bet?" Zhang Xiao came to Chris with a red wine glass, clinked glasses with him, and asked with a smile.

"What bet?" Chris froze for a moment.

Zhang Xiao explained: "Let's predict a wave of box office. Whoever loses will get the red envelopes for the celebration banquet?"

Chris smiled and said, "Zhang, you seem to be very confident in our movie?"

"That is necessary!" Zhang Xiao nodded.

"Okay, I'll bet with you." Chris asked directly, "How much do you predict?"

Zhang Xiao thought for a while and said, "22 billion dollars."

"You are too confident!" Although Chris said so, he was still very happy in his heart, but in order not to get a red envelope, he said very smartly: "I predict 18 billion US dollars."
