Goldfinger is a bit strange
Chapter 636: A Song of Longing for Peace (1/2)
The North American film market can be roughly divided into three aspects: producers, such as small film companies such as Hurricane Pictures.
The second is the issuer, and the third is the theater chains. The operation of the entire industry has been marketized and standardized.
Just like a product, it is produced in a factory, given to distributors first, and then retailed.
Of course, some big film companies also have their own exclusive distribution companies.
After hearing the bet proposed by Liu Qingshan, the representatives were all stunned: How could a box office of 100 million be possible?
With the current size of Hurricane Film and Television, it would be very expensive to be able to produce a movie with a box office of tens of millions.
One hundred million, just dream.
These few people are almost rushing to compete for this opportunity.
But thinking about the fact that there was still a 10 million bet, they all calmed down.
What if, what if Hurricane Company really produces a big production with a box office of over 100 million, then their small body cannot afford such a loss.
The few people here today are not even senior executives in the company. They are at best minions and do not have the right to make decisions.
"Mr. Mountain, can we make a call?" The bald man named Chris asked first.
Liu Qingshan made a please gesture. He believed that some company would definitely take the bait.
Even if they have to shell out 10 million, if the box office is over 100 million, the distribution company's share will far exceed this number, so it won't be a loss no matter what.
And there’s a movie that was given away for free. How could they get a profit of hundreds of thousands at the box office?
Chris was the first to return to the office, with a happy face: "Mr. Mountain, our innovative acting agency is willing to accept your proposal."
Liu Qingshan was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that this bald man was actually the representative of CAA.
Creative Entertainment Agency, referred to as CAA, is the largest entertainment agency in the United States in this era.
Well-known Hollywood movie stars, famous North American singers, and even sports stars, etc., are all contracted artists of this company.
CAA is not only a brokerage company, but also provides a full range of services. Take movies as an example, from script to shooting to review and release, they can provide one-stop service. wAp.
For example, a wealthy businessman is so idle that he spends millions of dollars to make a movie.
Well, you just need to pay and forget about the rest. You will definitely be able to see the movie you want in the theater.
But the final effect and box office, we can only guess, no one can guarantee this.
"But Mr. Mountain, Mr. Ovitz, the company president, would like to have an interview with you." Chris added.
The money and interests involved in this kind of agreement are indeed beyond his control.
Liu Qingshan nodded: "Then let's make an appointment."
On the day before New Year's Day, a piece of news appeared in the Los Angeles newspapers: The talented musician and the youngest investment tycoon on Wall Street officially entered Hollywood.
In the message, he talked about the bet between Mr. Mountain and CAA, as well as the eye-catching 10 million and 100 million.
Subsequently, many newspapers began to follow up. Perhaps Mr. Mountain's sudden wealth inspired people's hatred of rich people, so there was a lot of ridicule in the media.
It sounds good to say that you are carried away by victory.
Some said that Mountain was overestimating his abilities, while others said that he was self-aggrandizing. One media outlet even advised Mr. Mountain to get back to the music industry.
There was an uproar for a while.
This also led to the movie "Dolphin Girl" earning more than 5 million US dollars at the box office after its release.
This is also called CAA making a small profit. I have to say that Mr. Ovitz is really good at marketing.
In terms of Hurricane Film and Television, it is not all without gains. The youth musical "Dolphin Girl" is still loved by some young people, and Maria has also received her own title: Dolphin Queen.
Taking advantage of this hot opportunity, Chambers of Hurricane Pictures also launched an audition: starting to search for child stars across the country to star in the film with a box office of over 100 million.
As soon as this news came out, Mr. Mountain was criticized by the media again. Fortunately, Liu Qingshan followed his master during this period of time to attend a clinic in Chinatown. Otherwise, he would have been thrown a rotten egg if he had not been able to protect his health.
Liu Qingshan did not pay attention to the disturbances from the outside world. These were all discussed between him and Ovitz and were part of the hype.
Ovitz also admired the hype plans proposed by Liu Qingshan, and even cordially invited Liu Qingshan to join the CAA family.
Liu Qingshan was not a professional, so of course he would not agree. Instead, he recommended Maria, Lao Cui, Sister Zhang and others to Ovitz.
After all, CAA's resources are a giant in the industry and will help these people's future development.
In Los Angeles Chinatown, the Christmas atmosphere has basically dissipated, and we are more used to celebrating the Chinese Spring Festival here.
These days, many Chinese people in Chinatown are having a very happy time.
Because a medical team composed of famous doctors from China and Hong Kong Island goes deep into the community and provides free medical consultations.
Regardless of whether those foreigners believe in traditional Chinese medicine, most Chinese people do.
Moreover, the medical skills of this medical team are indeed superb. Many old problems of the Chinese people have been alleviated and cured, which has also won the medical team a great reputation.
Unfortunately, starting tomorrow, this medical team will be transferred to other communities.
As a result, many beneficiaries sent small gifts to the medical team to express their gratitude, because they would not accept money.
"Not bad, it's a bit of a tradition that the common people supported the soldiers."
Liu Qingshan took the mung bean cake from an old lady and tasted a piece. It was sweet, soft and glutinous, and tasted very good. Then he handed it to the little fourth and the others who ran over.
These little guys had fun playing in Chinatown every day and made many friends.
In Xiaolaosi’s words: It’s just like at home.
Liu Qingshan just smiled and nodded. He didn't want to tell his sister that if it weren't for Du Yunfeng's protection, they would have been robbed many times, or they might have disappeared.
But these are too dark things, Liu Qingshan doesn't want to input too much into his younger sisters, so he just wants them to spend a happy childhood happily.
The medical team packed up their things and returned to the villa to finish their meal. Du Yunfeng also respected Grandpa Mute and his team very much.
Except for the first few days, the medical team was fed and housed here.
Early the next morning, Liu Qingshan got up for morning exercises as usual, but now the number of people in the morning exercise team was quite large.
In addition to the original people, there were also people such as Song Yizhen and Master Fan who were also taught Zhanzhuang Kung Fu by the mute grandpa.
The number of people today was even greater. Four handsome young men were added to the team.
It's the four-member band Beyond. They finished their tour on the African continent and came here to join Liu Qingshan. They just arrived yesterday.
It was obvious that something had changed on the four of them, but what it was, they couldn't tell.
But Liu Qingshan knew that it was an improvement of faith and a sublimation of belief.
After the morning exercise, the medical team took several vehicles and headed to the slums.
Yes, even in Los Angeles, one of the largest cities in the United States, there are still poor people.
A few little girls thought it was the same as Chinatown, so they wanted to follow, but they were kicked back by Liu Qingshan.
But the four-member band, carrying guitars on their backs, followed together. Of course they were not afraid. On the African continent, they had seen poverty worse than this.
In Ka Kui's words: They can play the guitar and sing, and maybe they can recruit a few patients.
After all, unlike Chinatown, there are not many people who recognize Chinese medicine here.
Before coming, Liu Qingshan thought it was a slum. When he got there, he realized that it was not at all.
There are colorful tents on the roadside, set up one next to the other. There are some rags scattered around the tents.
There are also containers and the like that were dragged from nowhere, and there are people living in them.
Most of them are black and homeless.
Houses in Los Angeles are still relatively expensive, and not everyone can afford them.
After parking the car, the medical team members got out of the car and took down the tables, chairs and simple examination beds. They found that the roadside was full of tents and there was no free space at all.
"Hey, man, you trash are not welcome here, find somewhere else!"
A shirtless Xiao Hei emerged from the nearby tent. He waved his arms towards Liu Qingshan and the others and started to drive them away.
Looking at that posture, he seemed to regard Liu Qingshan and the others as the same kind.
"Boy, talk nice!" Li Tieniu didn't know what politeness meant, so he grabbed Xiao Hei's neck and lifted him into the air.
The guy was wearing underpants, his feet were off the ground, and his legs were kicking around: "Brother, put it down, you are going to strangle me to death, cough cough."
After Li Tieniu put him down, the little black man held his throat again and coughed for a while, then cursed and packed his things:
"Oh, damn it, I'll leave this place to you bandits."
It seemed that he really regarded this group of people as a land grab.
"Friends, we are here for a free clinic, which is to treat people for free." Liu Qingshan stopped the chattering Xiaohei.
As for promoting traditional Chinese medicine, there is no need here.
"I'm not sick!" The little black man raised his hands in the air, still aggrieved.
At this time, another bearded old man came out of another tent nearby: "This guy is sick, he is infected with AIDS."
Xiao Hei became even more anxious when he heard this: "Jackson, don't talk nonsense. If my girlfriend hears it, you will have to kill me!"
The dirty bearded man looked at Liu Qingshan and the others: "Man, you are really here to provide medical services in this community. You'd better leave. People who seek fame and reputation are not welcome here."
Because the bearded man noticed that several people carrying cameras had gathered around him, and they were obviously reporters.
So he regarded this as a show.
This made Song Yizhen and his disciples a little depressed: We are all very popular in Chinatown, how come we are left out in the cold when we get here?
Seeing that no one was paying attention, the four members of Jiaju's band finally felt that they could be of use.
Several people played the guitar and started singing:
"Heaven, birds can be seen in the sky, flying in panic, flying across the sky just looking for freedom."
"Hearts, hundreds of billions of hearts are broken by love. All the adversity today seems like the truth has disappeared from the earth..."
"It is an indictment of war to the end, and the pain is children,"
"I call out to the world,"
“AMANI-NAKUPENDA-NAKUPENDA-WE-WE”
“Tuna-taka-we-we”
Although there was no sound equipment, the deep and desolate singing voices of several people, full of sincere love and accusation, instantly touched the hearts of every listener.
Liu Qingshan also nodded approvingly. It seems that in the past six months, these people have made great progress in practicing standing meditation, and their control of sound has surpassed their original selves.
And this song "AMANI" was also created during their travels in Africa. It was after seeing the refugee children displaced by the war that they felt touched.
"AMANI" is Kenyan, meaning peace. This is an ode to the desire for peace.
Among the several reporters accompanying them, two had already followed the interview in Chinatown, and several followed Liu Qingshan.
After all, Mr. Mountain is now a hot topic.
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain. They were fortunate to hear a song that was extremely shocking.
Although they didn't understand the lyrics, they could feel the power contained in the song.
Liu Qingshan certainly knew the origin and meaning of the song. When he heard a reporter asking him about it, he immediately started to tell the story.
This made the reporters even more excited. You know, this topic is absolutely politically correct in their country.
I don't know how many citizens have donated money or materials to Africa.
Unlike the excited reporters, many black people who gradually gathered around them didn't understand Cantonese, but some of them could understand Kenyan.
When the band sang the last "AMANI", many black uncles immediately followed and roared.
Tears were rolling down their dark cheeks.
What they called for was not only peace, but also survival.
Even the poor have the right to survive!
A reporting car roared in, with big letters of CBS printed on it.
Then, a beautiful blonde jumped out of the car:
"Dear viewers, I am your old friend, Linda from CBS. I am now broadcasting live to you from the famous Skid Row in Los Angeles."
This reporter was the one who saw Liu Qingshan when he first came to Los Angeles and got stuck in traffic.
She received a report from an informant that Mr. Mountain appeared on the street again, so she hurried over.
Linda was not disappointed, and saw someone singing passionately again.
"Mr. Mountain, can you help translate it?" Lina didn't understand, so she asked Liu Qingshan for help.
Liu Qingshan talked to the camera. This was a good opportunity. Ka Kui and his band might also become famous.
What a good song!
Linda became more and more delighted as she listened, and she instantly became affectionate: "Dear audience, this is usually the most chaotic neighborhood in Los Angeles, full of robbery, violence and other vicious incidents."
"But today, what did we see? Those villains we usually think of were all crying..."
Liu Qingshan couldn't help but blink: It seems that we have gone astray. We are here for free clinics, not concerts?
March, early spring.

The earth is hazy, and there is a ruined city, silent and lifeless in the dim bloody rain.
The city is full of broken walls and ruins, everything is withered, collapsed houses can be seen everywhere, as well as blue-black corpses and pieces of meat, like broken autumn leaves, withering silently.
The bustling streets in the past are now bleak.
The sandy road that was once crowded with people is no longer noisy.
Only blood mud mixed with pieces of meat, dust, and paper remains, which is indistinguishable and shocking.
Not far away, a broken carriage is deeply stuck in the mud, full of sadness, with only an abandoned rabbit doll hanging on the shaft, swaying in the wind.
The white fluff has long been soaked into wet red, full of gloomy weirdness.
The turbid eyes seem to have some resentment, looking at the mottled stones in front alone.
There, a figure is lying.
This is a 13 or 14-year-old boy, with tattered clothes and full of dirt, and a broken leather bag tied around his waist.
The boy squinted his eyes and did not move. The biting cold penetrated his worn-out coat from all directions, attacked his whole body, and gradually took away his body temperature.
