America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 124 A good man wants to build a career!

"Eric, didn't we agree to meet and chat in Felindale? Why did you leave?" Liu Xiaoli complained on the phone.

Eric walked out of the airport lobby while talking on the phone. When he saw him coming out, Chen Xing immediately opened the car door.

Crossing his legs and leaning on the leather seat, Eric chuckled and said, "I'm too busy. I also have to go to New York to handle an urgent official business this time."

"If time permits, I definitely don't want to leave, but there is still a lot of work waiting in Los Angeles. Don't forget that tomorrow is Monday."

At home in New York, Liu Xiaoli stood on the balcony and made a phone call. When she heard Eric's words, she rolled her eyes.

What a fucking emergency! Urgent business is the kind of game that lets you play with women in a fancy restaurant?

When she thought of the image of that gorgeous white woman getting out from under the table and licking her fingers, Liu Xiaoli felt nauseous. After the nausea was over, her ears felt a little hot.

That night in Huaxia, Liu Xiaoli already felt very bold to be able to visit alone in the middle of the night, but now she realized that it was nothing at all.

This little man plays so wildly, he has never seen anything like sex.

Looking at her daughter who was chatting with her sister in the living room, she couldn't help but strengthen her determination. She finally met Eric Cooper and couldn't let him easily get rid of her mother and daughter.

All the postures were unlocked for you that night, but you only got a few verbal promises, which made Liu Xiaoli, who thought she was shrewd, feel like she was being fooled.

She said softly: "It doesn't matter, I know you are very busy, so that's fine. Feifei and I will go to Los Angeles to find you. Anyway, we have nothing to do. Let's treat it as a trip."

"You guys are still coming over!" Eric sounded a little unhappy.

"What? Is it inconvenient?"

"I'm very busy at work, so I may not be able to take care of you."

"Haha, I know you are a busy person, so I won't bother you. If we have time, we will meet. If we don't have time, we will just go on a trip to relax. Anyway, I won't embarrass you."

"That's up to you. Don't blame me if we can't meet!"

After hanging up the phone, Liu Xiaoli sighed and looked to the southwest, where Los Angeles is located.

She touched her face. Although her youth was gone, it was well maintained and still full of charm.

However, everything was given to the other party last time. If you want to attract Eric Cooper's interest this time, you must come up with a trump card.

When I returned to the living room and saw my daughter having fun with her cousin, I felt inexplicable.

"Alas! My dear daughter, for your future, mother gave up this face, and even this body."

On the sofa, Zhou Wenqiong and Liu Yifei were looking through old photo albums, which were all photos of their youth.

Liu Yifei looked at one of the pictures in surprise: "Cousin, in your era, you still wore bikinis?"

Zhou Wenqiong looked at it carefully: "This photo seems to have been taken while traveling abroad. I can't remember the details. At that time, I didn't dare to wear it in China, and I only dared to take it out when I went outside."

Liu Yifei pointed at Zhou Wenqiong's legs with a smile and said: "Cousin, you have a really good figure. Strangely enough, I am the ugliest in our family. I'm really annoying."

Liu Xiaoli also came over: "Your cousin used to be the beauty of the Zhuhai Film Factory, one of the Twelve Beauties of Pearl Shadow. Of course she is beautiful. If she hadn't gone abroad later, she would definitely be a top-notch actress in China now."

"It must be true. Cousin, you are so beautiful. I remember you were a calendar girl before." Liu Yifei also said coaxingly.

Zhou Wenqiong nodded: "I did shoot a calendar when I was young. It happened in the 1980s. At that time, many of the more beautiful and popular female stars would choose this path to improve their national status, such as Gong Li."

"But it's no longer possible now. As I get older, my skin becomes wrinkled. Just like the calendar, it will be eliminated over time."

Liu Yifei hugged Zhou Wenqiong's slender waist: "What are you talking about, cousin? Look at your figure. You are slimmer than me. You are just like my mother. You dress up and put on makeup. You are more beautiful than many celebrities."

Zhou Wenqiong poked Liu Yifei's forehead with her finger: "You are the only one who can speak. Eh? Feifei, what's wrong with your wrist? It's all blue and blue."

"I'm practicing martial arts. It's fine. I'll go down in a few days."

Zhou Wenqiong glared at Liu Xiaoli: "Sister, can't you be more careful? You'll hurt your body even if you practice dancing. I think it's better to let Feifei practice yoga with me."

"Cousin, it's not dancing, it's martial arts." Liu Yifei chuckled.

"Practice martial arts? Why do you practice that stuff? Do you want to be a star?"

Liu Yifei nodded: "Someone told me that if you want to develop in Hollywood in the future, kung fu is the only stepping stone. There is only a shortage of Chinese actresses who can compete. Others cannot stand."

"Who said that? Chen Jinfei? Isn't he capable? Can't he contact Sony Colombia? Why do you need to learn martial arts from scratch? You are not a kid. Learning kung fu is so tiring."

"It's not the godfather, it's another person. You should know him, cousin, Eric Cooper, the vice president of MGM Films."

Zhou Wenqiong was obviously stunned when she heard Eric's name. Although she no longer appears in movies and TV series, she still engaged in related work after coming to the United States. She is now a middle-level manager at Broadway's Hassend Theater.

But even though I have been working in the theater for nearly seven years, my identity as a Chinese-American has always been an obstacle and I cannot get to the top.

The salary is okay, but I don't have much power.

Looking at Liu Xiaoli with some surprise, Zhou Wenqiong secretly sighed that her sister was really powerful. How did she get on this ship? It was an international giant ship.

"How do you know Eric Cooper? He is an upstart in Hollywood. It is rumored that although his father, Charlie Cooper, is the helmsman of MGM, he is actually the one who really controls the production power of MGM."

As soon as Liu Yifei told what happened in China, Zhou Wenqiong suddenly understood.

Although Broadway is not Hollywood, it is not as chaotic as Hollywood, but it is certainly not much cleaner.

My sister has no background in the United States, so why do people treat Feifei so differently?

Just with a face? Are there few beauties around him? There's definitely a price to pay.

You can imagine what the cost is.

"Feifei, let's go to Los Angeles in two days to see what Hollywood really looks like."

Liu Yifei hummed obediently.

After hesitating for a while, Zhou Wenqiong said: "Sister, if it is convenient, can you help me introduce you?"

Before Liu Xiaoli spoke, Liu Yifei, who didn't understand the situation, agreed: "Cousin, then you can come with us."

Zhou Wenqiong looked at Liu Xiaoli, she knew that children could not make the decision.

"Wenqiong, what do you want to do? Is there something wrong?" Liu Xiaoli asked doubtfully.

"Nothing specific, but Hollywood and Broadway have always been indistinguishable from each other. Good Broadway plays will be put on the big screen, and excellent Hollywood movies will also be adapted into stage plays. If you can get to know a big man like Eric Cooper, It might be useful."

"Will it help your career?"

"I don't know, but whether there is or not, it's not a bad thing."

Liu Xiaoli nodded: "Then let's go together then, but Eric may not have time to see us. Anyway, he is a busy man."

In Los Angeles, the car went all the way to Gadot's apartment. It was time to accompany this little girl today.

Eric lamented more and more that he was such a busy man, if only there would be more women in the future.

Let alone whether the body can tolerate it, even the time cannot be missed.

If you surpass Lord Wei one day, you can only cut him into pieces.

There is a solution. Why don't you all sleep together? It saves me running around, but it's a bit difficult to implement, ridiculously high.

That is to say, the Olsen sisters are in a special situation. If he dares to make this request to others, he is guaranteed to get a punch in the face.

He didn't want to see Liu Xiaoli because he was too lazy to cause trouble, but there were some similar reasons. If he did meet her, there was a high probability that he would not be able to escape a catastrophe.

"Boss, I already have a target for the house you want me to find. I have selected 3 more suitable ones. Do you want to take a look?"

"It's not necessary. It's up to you to choose. This is my personal card."

Eric said nonchalantly, the house was not for him to live in anyway, so what’s so good about it!

But after thinking about it, I felt it was troublesome, so I simply said: "Stop choosing, just buy all three buildings."

Chen Xing took the card, and he and Peter were secretly surprised. It seemed that his boss was doing a lot of things behind his back.

One is not enough to hide the beauty in the golden house, but I want three. I'm afraid it won't be ten or eight in the future.

After arriving at their destination and sending the two of them away, Eric knocked on the door.

His natural response was Gadot's passionate kiss. As a result of filming, they didn't see each other for a week. Gadot, who had just completed her evolution from a girl to a woman, had long missed Eric.

The two of them completely ignored Judy and Refaeli who were watching TV in the living room and started kissing passionately as if no one else was around.

Refaeli frowned: "Can you please pay attention to the impact? This kind of behavior is immoral."

Gadot put her arms around Eric's neck and whispered, "Hold me and go to my room."

If a girl invites you, you can't refuse.

He didn't know if it was because of the disgusting drink given by Sergey, but he felt that his energy had regained a lot.

He picked up Gadot and walked towards the bedroom.

"Wait a minute Eric, "The Walking Dead" has reached its sixth episode, why doesn't Refaeli appear?" Judy asked.

"It's not like I cut the film, it should be the next episode, Darabont seemed to have said."

boom!

The door was closed, and after a fierce fight, the two lay down together and fell asleep.

When Eric opened his eyes, a brand new set of clothes was placed next to him. As expected, Gadot bought several sets for him as a spare.

A warm feeling flowed through my heart. After putting it on, the size fit perfectly. She is really a thoughtful woman.

Peter was already driving downstairs and waiting: "Boss, do you want to go to the set?"

"No, go back to the company."

Recently, my body has been hollowed out by these women, and I am getting thinner and thinner day by day.

This decadent trend must be stopped, and good men should pursue careers!

On the way, he called Andrea and told her to take over the crew first and that he would not be able to go there for the time being.

At present, the Olsen sisters have entered the state. Their acting skills in other types of movies may still be awkward, but at least this one is absolutely amazing.

Moreover, half of the emotional scenes, which require more acting skills, have been completed. It will be no problem for Andrea to lead the daily scenes. Her attentiveness and emotional capturing ability are enough to handle it.

For the rest of the explosive scenes, you can wait until you have time to do it yourself.

Today I have two more important tasks, meeting with the Silicon Valley gang, and "The Purge" will be released today.

In the conference room of the MGM building, a group of unique people were sitting. Some of them were wearing suits and ties, but most of them were in casual clothes, which was not suitable for the film industry.

Many employees were wondering what this group of people were doing, and it was later revealed that they were technicians from Silicon Valley.

I heard that I was engaged in technical research, so it wouldn’t be surprising no matter what I wore.

Opening the door, Eric walked in and shook hands with the three leaders with a smile on his face.

"Heisenberg, Howard, Robert, my friends, welcome!"

These three people are the team under Eric, among which Fitzheisenberg is responsible for Facebook development.

Howard Hughes, yes, the same name as the famous aviator, he is responsible for the development of YouTube.

Robert Mirren is responsible for the development of MGM's streaming platform, which Eric has tentatively named Lionheart.

As leaders, the three of them each lead a team of more than 30 people, the vast majority of whom are technical developers.

This number of people is definitely extremely wealthy for a start-up team.

For example, it is equivalent to equipping Li Yunlong with super-manufactured art equipment. Not to mention Ping An County, Tokyo can hit the mark.

In addition to ensuring sufficient manpower, the salary and office conditions are also very good.

The salary Eric gave them was on average 30% higher than the market price, plus bonuses.

We also rented a three-story spacious office building in Silicon Valley, with each of the three teams occupying one floor, all equipped with the most advanced hardware equipment on the market.

In order to get this thing done, ten million US dollars were spent directly at the beginning. In the past few months, almost three million US dollars have been burned.

Eric only has one requirement, and that is to be fast, to get what he wants as quickly as possible and put it into the market quickly.

He is not sure when Netflix and YouTube entered the market, but Facebook knows very well that it was early 2004.

Because David Fincher once directed a movie called "The Social Network", which received eight Oscar nominations. The movie was based on Zuckerberg and Facebook.

Eric has watched the movie many times, and the plot must be fictional, including those bloody emotional scenes, but the commercial part can be used as a reference.

In the early days, Zuckerberg was just messing around in his Harvard dormitory, a small project between a few young people, and the first round of angel investment was only US$500,000.

As you can imagine, Facebook was very weak in its early days.

So what Eric has to do is to use time and capital to crush Zuckerberg directly to death and make his grand plan still in progress.

In addition to Facebook, there is also MySpace, known as the originator of social networks, which is also not online yet.

Eric is not worried about it. You couldn't even defeat the rising star back then, let alone today, if you dare to come out, you will be crushed to death!
