"Master Tian, ??Merry Christmas." On the phone, Lao Zhang excitedly congratulated Wu Tian. "Haha, it's already Christmas Eve for you, and it's still broad daylight here." Wu Tian said with a smile. "Well, look at my brain," Lao Zhang laughed at himself, "The premiere is about to start, so I couldn't help but call Mr. Tian to report it, haha." "Well, preparations Is everything done?" Wu Tian asked with a smile. "Everything is ready, and all the invited celebrities are here and waiting. Everyone is very considerate, haha." Lao Zhang said with a smile. ¡°That¡¯s good, you guys are busy, I wish everything goes well, haha.¡± Wu Tian smiled and hung up the phone. Because of the time difference, it was still morning here for Wu Tian. Although it was Christmas, it didn¡¯t snow in Los Angeles. Instead, it was sunny, but the temperature was not high, which was perfect for basking in the sun in winter. Wu Tian was lying on the deck chair and basking in the sun. "Wu, your idea is really bad. I've made a lot of money this time." Kate sat on the chair next to her and shouted with a smile, "The craze of Chinese antiques suddenly made the antique shops I opened, and The business of the craft shop has increased by more than ten times, and the items are all Chinese antiques, and the prices have also reached the highest level. There is still some shortage of supply" It seems that Wu Tian invested a lot of irrelevant things in the early stage of this promotion. Money, but in comparison, Wu Tian and related beauties earned much more than Wu Tian invested. For example, Kate, after switching careers from her original antique black market business, opened many antique shops and art shops in the United States, specializing in antique art from all over the world. It is divided into two signboards, one is a completely genuine antique shop, and the other is a modern craft shop. However, those modern crafts are also like high-end craftsmanship carefully crafted by masters from all over the world. If they are passed down, they can also become fine antique shops. . After several years of development, Kate¡¯s antique stores and craft stores have now spread across major cities in the United States. They can be said to be famous signs in the art industry. During the promotion of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", Kate's business suddenly exploded with the news that Wu Tian was hyping up Chinese antiques. The Chinese antiques and Chinese crafts in the store, especially porcelain, were sold out within a few days. No wonder Kate was excited. No more. "Haha, this is just the beginning. The wave of sinicization will continue for a while. You'd better restock quickly, haha." Wu Tian said with a smile. "The craftsmanship is so good that we have already flown it over from China, but where are real antiques so easy to find?" Kate said rather depressed, "I have visited antique trading houses around the world to urgently purchase a batch of genuine antiques. When I came back, there were so many fake things that our company¡¯s several high-level appraisers didn¡¯t even send their avatars to go around the world to appraise and purchase them¡± ¡°Haha, in this case, why don¡¯t you give Jiao Pengju a call? , let him see if he can help you find some experts from China to respond to the emergency," Wu Tian said with a smile. Back then, Kate began to transport a batch of high-quality fakes to the capital from abroad, and opened a fake museum in front of Tianrenju, which was full of fakes of various Chinese antiques. This can be said to be a great favor to the Chinese antique industry. Therefore, as long as Kate opens her mouth, Wu Tian believes that he will definitely be able to recruit a few experts from China to help. *************************************************** *************************************************** ********** After lunch, Wu Tian and Qi Bing set off from Los Angeles to San Francisco to attend the North American premiere of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 2". The main reason why this North American premiere was chosen to be in San Francisco instead of Los Angeles is that there are more Chinese in San Francisco. In fact, if Wu Tian wants to vigorously promote Sinicization abroad, it is like expanding his territory. Naturally, he must choose the place where success is easiest to start, so that it will be easier to establish a foothold and then slowly spread outwards. However, although San Francisco has a large Chinese population, that does not mean that Chineseness is very popular in San Francisco. In fact, many Chinese in San Francisco arrived here more than a hundred years ago and were engaged in hard work such as digging gold mines and building railroads. Although they are called laborers, they are actually similar in nature to slaves. Eventually it spread, and several generations later, today's Chinese have almost completely lost their Chineseness. Many people even don't admit that they are Chinese at all, and they can't even speak Chinese anymore. ?That¡¯s the so-called banana man. However, due to the large Chinese population in San Francisco, many Chinese people arrived on the West Coast by boat in the following years, and most of them still chose San Francisco as their destination. These immigrants and stowaways from southern China still remember China. customs. And these are the first targets Wu Tian must strive for. ¡¡¡¡¡¡"Blow the Lamp" may be able to rekindle the fire in their hearts, let them remember that they are Chinese, re-remember the culture of China, and spread it through them to their friends and colleagues. Perhaps, those banana people will also be attracted by characters in movies with the same faces, and yearn for what their ancestors looked like again. Wu Tian believes that the most important thing about communication is to rely on the creators of this culture and proactively promote it to be more efficient. If Sinicization is to become popular in the United States, the efforts of Chinese Americans in the United States must be indispensable. Of course, Wu Tian didn¡¯t expect that just one movie would make those Chinese people proud of Chineseness and take the initiative to spread Chineseness. Therefore, there is another reason why Wu Tian chose San Francisco, that is, the Hongmen headquarters is also in San Francisco *************************** *************************************************** ********************************* San Francisco, backstage at the MGM Grand Theater. "Young Master Tian, ??you miss me so much" As soon as Qin Weile saw Wu Tian, ??he immediately ran over excitedly. As Wu Tian's earliest film and television team member in Hollywood, Qin Weile can be regarded as a veteran figure. Now as the boss of MGM, a subsidiary of Zhongtian Film and Television, this kind of imported film premiere does not require Mr. Qin to personally participate. But seeing that Mr. Qi is here in person, how can Qin Weile be trusted? If Tian Shao attaches great importance to the film, then all resources must be used to make it good. "How are you preparing?" Wu Tian smiled and patted Qin Weile on the shoulder and asked. ¡°Everything is ready and can start at any time.¡± Qin Weile smiled. "Well, that's good." Wu Tian looked at the time on his phone and said, "There's still one hour left. I'll take a break first while you guys are busy." "Okay, Master Tian, ??please come over here." Qin Weile said brightly. Leading the way for Wu Tian and Qi Bing, they arrived at a lounge backstage and said, "Master Jiu has arrived and is waiting for Master Tian." "Master Jiu? Haha, Feifei's bandit trumpet is so loud now?" Wu Tian smiled, pushed open the door of the lounge, and immediately saw Ouyang Fei with wide eyes. "You dare to speak ill of me? Believe it or not, I will prevent you from leaving San Francisco?" Ouyang Fei glared. "Trust." Wu Tian said seriously, "But you can keep me for three days at most, and then you will beg me to leave quickly." "Why?" Ouyang Fei said, stunned. Wu Tian didn¡¯t answer, only gave her a meaningful smile. Ouyang Fei suddenly became angry, glared at Wu Tian, ??and said: "You damn ghost, you old and dishonest thing" Wu Tian laughed loudly and sat down on the sofa, ignoring that he had already seen the opportunity. Qin Weile and Ma Yuan had already slipped away. There were only three people left in the room: Wu Tian, ??Qi Bing, and Ouyang Fei. Wu Tian didn't pay attention to his appearance, so he pulled Ouyang Fei next to him and kissed her domineeringly. "Okay, you two are almost done, I'm still here watching." Qi Bing said with a smile. "Huh" Wu Tian took a breath and said, "Well, we'll talk about the rest at night. You can't run away, haha" "Tch, no one cares about it." Qi Bing pouted and said. . "Haha," Wu Tian said with a smile, "Let's get down to business first. The premiere is about to start, so we won't have time to talk about it in detail later. Jiu Mei, how are the preparations for your Chinese Federation going?" "Still. Okay, several cities in the United States with relatively large Chinese-American populations have been established, and several state legislators are from us. Two more have entered the Congress," Ouyang Fei said, "Next we are going to fight with Sister Bing. Let¡¯s put pressure on Los Angeles to require that all movies shot in California must have a certain number of Chinese characters" Wu Tian nodded. In the United States, the fight for racial rights has always been very fierce. Especially for the rights of black people, there are relevant regulations. In all films and television works, there must be black images, even if they are supporting roles, but you have to have them. If we can make Chinese images have to appear on camera, it means that the rights and interests of Chinese people in the United States will be greatly improved, and more exposure of Chinese images will naturally be very helpful in spreading Chineseization. At least this mandatory appearance requirement, It is many times higher than the exposure rate of Chinese actors spontaneously arranged by Zhongtian ****************************** ************************* "If nothing else happens, Mr. Wang will definitely be promoted to the deputy position of CPPCC this year" Wu Tian said again Another important thing comes. As early as when Ouyang Fei just took over Zhi Gongtang, she "invited" Mr. Wang back to the country through Wu Tian and trained him to lead the "Hongmen" in the country. Over the years, Mr. Wang has now become a member of the temple?. This is actually a secret move by Wu Tian. It seems to be quite powerful, but in fact it is not very useful. First of all, the ministry that Mr. Wang serves is not a power department and has no impact on politics itself. Dingtian is regarded as a "technical" department. If it is done well, it will mainly improve the country's scientific and technological strength. Thanks to his turtle identity, he can recruit some technologies from abroad. If we don't do it well, it won't have much impact. The big deal will only be domestic development. However, there is no doubt that Mr. Wang has done a good job. On the one hand, he has the energy of Hongmen, and on the other hand, he has Wu Tian¡¯s secret support, and he has introduced a lot of technology. In addition, Wu Tian poached many people from Lao Maozi back then, and they were all put to good use by Mr. Wang. Therefore, China's technological strength in this life is much higher than in the previous life. Achievements are obvious to all, and rewards based on merit are also for the purpose of making a gesture. Therefore, Mr. Wang has been appointed as deputy of the CPPCC this time. It can be said to be a very high position, but it is still a position without any real power. "Lao Wang gave me a message some time ago, saying that I have to thank your dad for the nomination this time, otherwise he may not get his turn." Ouyang Fei said. "Haha, the key is that you can still control him." Wu Tian said. "Lao Wang's character is relatively stable, and control is not a problem." Ouyang Fei said, "At least he is a rational and ideal person, and he will not be assimilated by you so easily, haha." Wu Tian left speechlessly. He curled his lips and said: "Next, you have to give Lao Wang Wuse a successor. You have to be more cautious this time, and the successor must be trustworthy" "Huh? Is there something" Ouyang Fei frowned . "Not now, what I'm afraid of is five years from now, ten years from now" Wu Tian sighed and said, "I just made a plan early" Ouyang Fei did not answer, but frowned in thought. As the leader of Hongmen, Ouyang Fei has a unique understanding of the international situation and the situation in China. She quickly analyzed the meaning of Wu Tian's words and began to think about how to deal with it There is no doubt that if something special happens. Although there may not be many opportunities for Hongmen to intervene in this situation, Hongmen can definitely take the opportunity to erect a flagpole. At that time, it may not still be qualified to discuss politics. The weight is different, and the significance is naturally different. Same So, how can we ensure that when that day comes, we will still have enough control over Hongmen in China? Didn¡¯t you see, in history, how many people who were promoted by the Hongmen lineage ended up abandoning the Hongmen lineage like worn-out shoes after they came to power? As the current leader of Hongmen, Ouyang Fei naturally has to consider and worry about this issue (To be continued.)
