The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 265 A Great Victory

It is well known that Hollywood has discrimination, even in the new century there are so many complaints, not to mention that it is only the 70s now.

The role of Chinese in Hollywood has always been dispensable, whether they are triad members or restaurant owners, and their images are mostly wretched, cowardly, and evil.

For example, in the "007" series of movies, in the first "Dr. Nuo", Dr. Nuo claimed to be from China. Of course, that appearance is extremely weird, and it is completely the image of Fu Manchu without the beard.

In the third "Goldfinger", China became the main culprit who assisted Goldfinger in blowing up the Fort Knox treasury in the United States with a nuclear bomb and destroying the currency exchange system in Europe and America.

The film "Chinatown", which won several Golden Globe Awards last year, is a crime-themed film.The protagonist originally worked as a policeman in Chinatown, but found that there is no concept of the rule of law and is not bound by social morality, so he resigned angrily and became a private detective.

Your sister, you made a crime film, why did you choose the name "Chinatown"? !Does Chinatown represent evil? !Are the Chinese in Chinatown the representatives of evil? !

SHIT!A pile of shit!
In addition to the Chinese characters being unflattering in the movie, the black characters were also unflattering at the time. In the "007" series "Life and Death", black people are mostly criminals.The heroine is a white beauty, who is not stained in the mud, and although the black leader of the criminal organization has always intended to get involved, she still maintains her own chastity, and then dedicated it to the romantic James Bond.

Latin Americans are also mostly bad characters. The villain in "The Man with the Golden Gun" is Cuban, Dr. No's crime base is in Jamaica, the drug dealer's lair in "License to Kill" is in Panama, and "Quantum of Solace" Among them, politicians in exile would rather sell their country and regain their lost power.

Of course, the discrimination in these movies is still obvious and external, and the implicit discrimination also exists on a large scale.For example, implicit sex discrimination, racial discrimination, national discrimination, etc., are too numerous to mention.

"Look at me turning around and promoting a bunch of Chinese stars to steal your business." Xu Guanwu scolded.

……

Walking into the lobby of the Hilton Hotel, Darryl Zanjuk, Richard Zanjuk and his son, Michael Ovitz and others greeted him.

"Dear Xu, long time no see." Richard Zarnuk hugged Xu Guanwu affectionately, "Mrs. Xu, welcome." He said, and gestured to kiss his hand again, but Xu Guanwu slapped him down ,"Stop it!"

"Boss!" Michael Ovitz also came over to say hello.As a well-known Hollywood agency, he would naturally be eligible to participate in the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony.

Xu Guanwu nodded, and was very pleased that CAA's performance was thriving under the management of their five young people, "It's a good job, keep working hard."

"Yes, thank you boss for the compliment." Michael Ovitz said with a smile.

Although Xu Guanwu did not directly participate in the operation of CAA, well-known directors and producers in Hollywood such as Richard Zanjuk, Stephen Spielberg and George Lucas, if they hadn't cooperated with Xu Guanwu before relationship, he would never sign with a small agency like CAA.

Many of the artists newly signed by CAA chose to sign with this agency because of Xu Guanwu, a legendary Hollywood investor.Because Xu Guanwu invested three times and obtained huge profits, he has become a mythical existence in Hollywood.

Many artists, producers, and directors want to be promoted by him like Stallone and Steven Spielberg, and then suddenly become a world-class superstar, and live a luxurious life without worrying about food and clothing.

Because of Xu Guanwu's previous investment and his role model in the future, CAA was able to sign so many talents and expand so quickly.Therefore, despite Michael Ovitz's outstanding achievements, he still has no part to be arrogant in front of Xu Guanwu.

"Boss, I want to talk to you about Stallone sometime." Michael Ovitz asked in a low voice.

He knew in his heart that Stallone rose up together with Xu Guanwu, and later became a senior star of CAA company, so the company has always looked at him differently and helped him deal with many public relations crises.But Stallone was really not motivated and always caused trouble for the company, so he was forced to give up on him.

But Michael Ovitz didn't want to anger his boss because of this matter, so he really wanted to find an opportunity to explain in detail.

Xu Guanwu nodded, "After the award ceremony is over, I will go to the company to find you tomorrow, and we will discuss it in detail then."

"Okay, then I'll get to work first." Michael Ovitz nodded sensiblely immediately, turned and walked away to chat with filmmakers who might sign CAA.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help smiling and nodded as he watched him wandering among the movie stars and promoting his agency.

"Xu, I haven't seen you in half a year, and I'm still so energetic." Richard praised with a smile.

"Yeah, there's no news in the past six months. How are my two films going?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.

"Well, there might be something wrong with it. In my opinion, it's impossible to release it this year." Richard froze for a moment, then shook his head in embarrassment.

"Don't worry, take your time. There is a saying in China that you don't have to worry about being late for a good meal, and work slowly and carefully. Let the two directors do it at ease, and I have enough patience to wait." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"There is really no choice for an investor like you." Richard Zanjuk couldn't help but praise, "If every investor is like you, then the Hollywood film industry will be revitalized."

Xu Guanwu couldn't help smiling when he heard that, if other people also have past life memories, they would also make my choice.

"By the way, why didn't you see Stephen Spielberg?" Xu Guanwu glanced in the hall and saw Michael Douglas standing in the crowd, chatting with some filmmakers.But no sign of Stephen Spielberg was found.

"He knew he couldn't win the Best Director Award, so he didn't come here at all." Richard waved his hand, "He's still filming his "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" in Massachusetts."

"That's really a pity." Xu Guanwu sighed, "I wanted to meet him at first, but now I don't have the chance."

"If you have anything to say, you can tell me first, and I will pass it on to him later." Richard said with a smile.

"Actually, it's nothing, but meeting up, chatting, and increasing the relationship." Xu Guanwu grinned and said, "By the way, are there any projects worth investing in recently?"

"Now I'm just busy playing "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", and I haven't taken on any new projects for the time being." Richard waved his hand, "You know that being a producer is also very tiring, and we also want to concentrate on shooting Better work. If I get distracted and make other films, I am afraid that the quality of the two films will not be good."

Xu Guanwu nodded in agreement, and appreciated Richard's dedicated work attitude, "Where is David Brown now?"

"It's not about accompanying George Lucas in the "Star Wars". A large group of people are working on special effects all day long, and the money is like running water." Richard shook his head, quite impressed with the "Star Wars" crew. Some criticisms.

Xu Guanwu knows that the success of "Star Wars" is not only a wonderful story, but the use of special effects is also an indispensable factor.

It is because of the movie "Star Wars" that American film talents really realized the importance of special effects and began to invest a lot of money in research.The following sci-fi movies such as "Terminator", "Iron Armor", "Predator", and "Alien" can appear on the screen vividly.

"Don't worry about them, let them make trouble." Xu Guanwu smiled, "As long as the movie looks good in the end, that's fine."

……

Chatted with Richard Zanyuke for a while, and then Michael Douglas came over again. The old boy smiled when he saw Xu Guanwu, as if he saw the God of Wealth.

When "Flying Over the Cuckoo's Nest" first invested, Xu Guanwu gave away 15% of the box office dividends to their father and son. In addition, the box office of that movie was a big hit. business success.And the duo also made a lot of money because of this, and became Hollywood's richest family in no time.

Michael Douglas also knew that if Xu Guanwu hadn't invested, or hadn't given up so much dividends, the two of them wouldn't have earned so much money at all, so seeing Xu Guanwu now, Michael Douglas's face beamed with joy.

When Xu Guanwu saw Michael Douglas again, he was not angry or awkward. He invested in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" for the sake of becoming famous, and he didn't think about making money.Anyway, it's just an investment of 300 million U.S. dollars. If you make a profit, you can count it as a waste, and if you lose, you will also leave a good reputation.

Moreover, he has never participated in this movie from the beginning to the end, and only provided the start-up funds. Now he can get tens of millions of box office dividends, which is far beyond his expectations.And what Douglas and his son earned was also earned by other people's hard work. It makes no sense to want to keep everything in their own hands. It's not good to be too greedy.

"Is this Mrs. Xu? She's really beautiful." Michael Douglas turned his head again and said to Zhao Yazhi with a smile.

Xu Guanwu grinned, your future wife is even more beautiful, she is called the most beautiful person in the world, and she is 25 years younger than you, you old cow who eats tender grass.

……

It didn't take too long to chat with Michael Douglas, and the red carpet walk was over.The guests present moved to the auditorium, and the awards ceremony officially began.

Because Xu Guanwu is an investor in the award-winning hit films "Jaws" and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", he was arranged to sit in the front row by the organizing committee.On his left is the crew of "Jaws", on the right is the crew of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", and beside him are Richard and Darryl Zanjuk and his son.

Because the awards ceremony is an annual event in the American film and television industry, it received a lot of attention, and it was also broadcast live on NBC.So in order to entertain the public, in addition to awards, there are also talk shows, celebrity singing, etc., making it very lively.

Xu Guanwu didn't have too much pressure to win the award, so watching the performance was very fun, and he applauded with everyone from time to time.Compared to his free and easy, Zhao Yazhi was a little nervous. Although she was also sitting there, her expression was a little stiff.

Like her, there are two crews of "Jaws" and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". All the nominees have stiff expressions, and they are all looking at the stage, probably not paying attention to the performance, but hoping that the performance will be fast. At the end of the point, the awards will be announced immediately.

"Ah Wu, why aren't you nervous at all?" Seeing Xu Guanwu applauding and laughing happily, Zhao Yazhi couldn't help asking in doubt.

"Why are you nervous? What's there to be nervous about? I lost my life." Xu Guanwu said with a smile. For investors, it doesn't matter."

"Xu, you really can see it, but I still hope to win the best picture award, so that we can sell more money." Michael Douglas said with a smile.

After hearing this, Xu Guanwu couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
