The two days that Xiao Qi came to the United States were the days when "Iron Man 2" was released globally. As the producer of "Iron Man 2", Friendship Studio naturally wanted to make a big splash and hold a grand premiere in a large theater in New York, hosted by David and Sam. Little Taylor couldn¡¯t go there, but as her friends, Kasha and Anna accepted the invitation. There are not many Hollywood stars who don¡¯t like to walk on the red carpet. For a movie as blockbuster as "Iron Man 2", of course there will be many stars going, and naturally there will be more reporters waiting for it. Thinking about the scene of showing their beauty under the spotlight, not many beauties can resist. So the two of them simply agreed, and then invited Xiao Qi to watch a movie together. But with Xiao Qi¡¯s status, it is naturally impossible to walk on the red carpet with them. If the world¡¯s richest man appears in public, it will definitely not take long for people to find out. This is not in line with Xiao Qi¡¯s low-key attitude. ¡°But both Taylor and Tang Mingxiang felt that Xiao Qi stayed at home all day long after coming to the United States, which seemed too homely. He should go out for a walk. This premiere is actually just watching a movie. As long as he doesn't go to the red carpet and goes to the theater in advance to watch a movie with Kasha and Anna, it can be considered a pastime. So the two of them ordered Xiao Qi to be the driver to take Kasha and Anna to the theater. Xiao Qi himself doesn't care. He actually prefers to spend time with his wife and children, and doesn't like running around all day long. But since his wife is doing it for his own good, it's okay to go out and watch movies. Even though he had watched "Iron Man 2" in his previous life, the "Iron Man 2" in this life was already different from the previous version. He also wanted to see how much new ideas he could produce with an extra 30 million budget. . You must know that the box office of the original "Iron Man 2" was very unsatisfactory. The box office was barely able to break even, and it will have to rely on peripheral products in the future to make some money. Now that we have more refined polishing, I wonder if we can make more money. ¡°After all, this is the pioneering work of Friendship Studio. If you have to do this project well, you will be more confident to do it in the future "Avengers". Today¡¯s weather is quite good. Although it gets dark early in winter, you can see stars all over the sky when you drive out. It seems that the environment in New York is not as bad as the legend says. Both Taylor and Tang Mingxiang knew about the car accident last time, so this time they went out with Ford Raptors leading the way and escorting them. Only when they were approaching the theater did Taylor's Maserati drive to the VIP area. In front of the special red carpet bus road, Xiao Qi handed over the invitations to the two women and drove about a hundred meters along the road to the corner of the red carpet at the entrance of the theater. A few security guards in suits opened the car door at the back, and Kasha and Anna, all dressed up, walked out easily. The reporters over there were immediately attacked by a burst of spotlights, which shone on Xiao Qi through the car window. It feels very shiny. Although the two women are not A-list stars, they are beautiful and they came together, so they naturally attracted the attention of many people. On the other side, there was also someone directing the car to park, signaling Xiao Qi to park the car at the designated location. After Xiao Qi parked his car in a parking lot full of luxury cars, he calmly entered the theater from another direction. Naturally, the premiere cannot be in a small theater. This theater can accommodate more than 1,000 people, and it cannot be all celebrities. There are also some ordinary people who bought premiere tickets at high prices, who can also go in and watch, but they There is no celebrity treatment. You have to enter through another ordinary door. After entering, his position was quite good, right between Anna and Kasha, just like the star's seat. This position is actually for little Taylor. David and Sam also know that little Taylor is pregnant with Xiao Qi's child again, but whether she comes or not is her business. Whether she gives a ticket or not is another matter, not to mention friendship work. The majority shareholder of the room is still Taylor Jr. Anna and Kasha just chatted with the celebrities for a few words and then quickly walked to their seats. The two women had separated just now, but now they walked quickly to their seats from two different directions, but they bumped into each other again. It¡¯s just that they had small thoughts in their hearts, so they didn¡¯t say anything to each other at this time. They just looked at each other and smiled, then sat down next to Xiao Qi. At this time, the movie has not started yet, but many people have already taken their seats. Some ordinary people are looking at their favorite stars. Some people saw Anna and Kasha sitting next to a young oriental man, and they muttered With a sound, I don¡¯t know which rich second-generation Hua Guo got it at a high price.This seat. After a while, the time came to 8:20 in the evening. Everyone who should come in came in, and David and Sam, dressed like successful people, sat down in their seats. Their position was right behind Xiao Qi. They were a little surprised to see a man sitting between Kasha and Anna. When they sat down and took a closer look, they suddenly exclaimed. "Qi Shao?" The two of them used standard Chinese titles, so naturally the people next to them didn't hear them clearly. Xiao Qi also didn't expect them to sit behind him. He stood up and shook hands with them, then sat down with a smile and lowered his voice: "How are you today? Do you have confidence?" "It's a lie to say you don't have confidence, but you do. How much confidence, but I¡¯m not sure.¡± David shrugged. "But even if I don't make much money, participating in such a large production with an investment of more than 200 million US dollars is still a very important experience in my life. I feel very fulfilled." Sam was very excited, "Whether it's experience or Lesson learned, we will be busy with "Captain America" ??and "Avengers" soon, and it will definitely give everyone a greater shock. "Shocking is not important, the important thing is to make money." road. "I said Xiao Qi, you have become too vulgar now. You only care about money all the time. Don't you rely on money to get your women?" Another voice suddenly came next to him, slightly hoarse, But it was clearly a woman's voice. Xiao Qi turned around and took a look. It turned out that sitting quietly next to David was his sister Megan. Because Megan was wearing black clothes and sitting there quietly, Xiao Qi didn't see anything about her for a moment. The time has come. " Xiao Qi has always admired this artistic young woman who is not pretty but is very determined. However, her mouth is too poisonous. She seems unhappy every time she doesn't criticize Xiao Qi for a while. "Haha, Meghan, you're here too! You look good, you must be in a happy mood! I haven't congratulated you yet for winning so many big awards in "The King's Speech"!" Xiao Qi hurriedly said He patted her on the back and said. "That's because I was lucky enough to encounter such a good script." Megan first changed places with her brother, and then said very reservedly, "But I didn't live up to your investment? Not only did I earn back the money, but I also Put your little love on the shortlist for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.¡± Because of the three Oscars for Best Actor, Best Director and Best Picture, ¡°The King¡¯s Speech¡± has become the most popular film in North America. It has a very long running time and is even more popular in Europe. All kinds of copyrights are sold very well, so Xiao Qi's investment of 80 million US dollars has not only been fully repaid, but also earned almost 10 million, which is a good return. . Xiao Qi always felt that there was something more in what this girl said, but at this time he had to continue. He could only laugh and said: "You Megan will take action, what else should I worry about?" "That's the best." Megan nodded and took out a stack of paper from her bag, "This is a new script I found. Go back and have a look. If you have no objections, I will send you the start-up capital." "Ohoh? "Xiao Qi's hand stopped in mid-air, "Miss, why am I investing money again? No, isn't your brother sitting there? He is rich! We are all members of the same family!" David saw this! He quickly turned his head to the side, as if he didn't recognize Xiao Qi and Megan. Sam also had a headache just looking at it, so he just closed his eyes and rested, acting as an invisible person. "Because you are richer than him, so if I don't look for you, who should I look for?" Megan said matter-of-factly, "Don't worry, this time the script is no worse than "The King's Speech", and I have also found a director, who is from your country. "Who? What is the movie?" "Director Ang Lee, the movie is adapted from the novel "Life of Pi". The script is very good. It is definitely a good deal for you to invest in this movie." Megan said eagerly: "As long as you give me 200 million, I promise to earn you at least 100 million US dollars back!" Xiao Qi was speechless for a while, "Miss, I print money, right? "Iron Man 2" also But with an investment of more than 200 million U.S. dollars, you are not a blockbuster movie, how can you spend that much? Are you bullying me for not knowing about movies? " "You have to do the best, otherwise why are we going to make movies?" He said guiltily, "How about it? You invest in me, and I will help you praise a few Chinese actors. It's okay for you to throw in a little lover." "You brag!" Xiao Qi exposed it mercilessly. She said, "In the whole movie, only the little boy Pi and the Bengal tiger are the protagonists, and the rest of the supporting characters are simply dispensable!""Hey, have you read the book?" Megan patted Xiao Qi's arm, "That's just right. You should know how good this novel is? When you encounter such a good and changing movie, it can't be justified for you not to invest!" Qi suddenly felt that it was useless to reason with Megan. Unless she is willing to take the money herself, this girl must be stalking her. No matter what reason she gives, she cannot stop her enthusiasm for taking money to make movies! (To be continued.)
