America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 98 It’s just me taking it off!
Yanjing, in an apartment in a wealthy area.
Liu Yifei, who will turn 16 in two months, was nestled on the sofa, holding a large cup in her hand. Inside the cup was a pyramid salad made of bananas, apples, papayas and other fruits.
What was playing on the TV screen was the first work she starred in, "The Golden Family". To be more precise, it should be her first film and television work.
After all, she has shot commercials before, for her godfather Chen Jinfei's Jinfei Apartment, as a spokesperson.
Looking at Bai Xiuzhu in the picture, Liu Yifei couldn't help but smile, as if she remembered what happened during the filming, but after a while she suddenly became expressionless, just like Bai Xiuzhu in the picture.
"Mom, come here."
Hearing her daughter's voice, Liu Xiaoli walked out of the kitchen: "What's wrong?"
"Mom, you have been an actor. I would like to ask you whether acting skills are important to an actor?"
Liu Xiaoli was stunned on the spot: "Ah? Why do you ask this?"
"I just want to know. If you look at Bai Xiuzhu, many people on the Internet say she is very beautiful, but there are also many people who say she cannot move, has no expression, and has no acting skills at all."
"Also when filming Tian Long Ba Part, director Zhang first asked me to learn from the actor Li Ruotong from Xiangjiang, but then he asked me not to make expressions when filming started. Did he mean that my acting skills were too poor?"
Liu Xiaoli didn't know how to answer her daughter's question.
Seeing that her mother was silent, Liu Yifei was not stupid, so she naturally understood what she meant.
She said with some distress: "Mom, do you think I should study at Nortel for two years to replenish my acting knowledge?"
"You and my godfather always tell me not to interact too much with my classmates. Now I don't have many friends in school. After class, when others gather in groups to discuss and communicate, I can only go back to the dormitory or go home."
"I think I should integrate into this big group. I don't want to be that wanderer. This feeling is similar to going to school in the United States. The white and black kids don't like to play with me."
Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter strangely: "Feifei, what's wrong with you today? Why are you so weird? Don't think about these problems. Now that you have a certain reputation, you will definitely become popular when Tian Long Ba is released."
"Now you are different from those classmates in school. Who are they? They have only made a few movies. Even if they have made a few movies, have they become popular?"
"When the special period is over, let your godfather find more high-quality resources. After filming one or two TV series, we will move to the big screen."
"As for the music industry, your godfather can contact RB's Sony company and ask Sony to release records for you. Then we will go to Hollywood to develop. Columbia Pictures is controlled by Sony."
"Feifei, you will become a big star in Hollywood and a world star in the future. Those of your classmates will only hang out in the Chinese circle at most. If you have anything to communicate with them, be obedient and don't worry about it. Just listen to my arrangements. "
Liu Yifei said oh, and when she mentioned Hollywood, she thought of the foreigner she met in the Forbidden City that day. Although he was very handsome, what he said was very hateful. 【6】【9】【s】【h】【u】【x】【.】【c】【o】【m】
"Okay, okay, don't watch "Golden Pink Family". You'll just have to think about it after watching it. Mom will change the channel for you."
Liu Xiaoli said and pressed the remote control, and the TV screen jumped to Yanjing Satellite TV. It was noon and the noon news was being broadcast.
This station reports for you: "At 9 a.m., the American MGM Film and Television Company has officially settled in Yanjing, and will jointly establish Eastern MGM Company with China Film Group, starting a cultural journey."
"MGM Pictures, as a film and television production company with a long history in the United States, has produced a series of classic films such as "Gone with the Wind," "Tom and Jerry," "Silence of the Lambs" and "007," and is a very powerful film company in Hollywood."
"The project is 51% owned by the Chinese side and 49% held by the American side. The first round of investment will reach US$50 million. The cooperation areas include film technology research and development, film and television production, copyright distribution, derivative products, etc."
"MGM Film and Television will also build a brand factory in Yanjing. The first phase investment of the factory is US$40 million, which is expected to create employment for 2,000 people."
"At the same time, MGM Pictures will also donate US$2 million to China's anti-African cause. This behavior reflects the social responsibility of a large company."
"Yanjing SJ Li XX, Yanjing SZ Qin XX, Eric Cooper, vice president of MGM Pictures, and Susan Levin, head of MGM China, jointly pressed the project start button!"
If it were in the past, Liu Xiaoli would naturally not care about this kind of news. She would not even watch the news at all. It was too far away from her.
But things are different now. When they heard about MGM Pictures, as people who have lived in the United States for nearly ten years, the two mothers and daughters knew that it represented the seven major Hollywood movies, so they all stared at the TV screen.
Then the screen jumped to Eric's interview. Liu Yifei pointed at the TV and shouted: "Mom, mom, look, it's that person. It's the person we met in the Forbidden City."
Liu Xiaoli also stared carefully with her eyes wide open. The mother and daughter were almost lying on the TV before they knew it. Only then did they confirm that they had seen it correctly.
"How could this happen? This hateful guy is actually the vice president of MGM! How could it be such a coincidence?"
After being surprised, Liu Yifei suddenly covered her mouth and widened her eyes: "Wait a minute, Mom, do you still remember what happened that day? This Eric Cooper said that I can't go to Hollywood. Is what he said true?"
Liu Xiaoli also looked embarrassed. After Eric left that day, she scolded him so many times behind his back, but she didn't expect it to be a slap in the face.
"Well, don't worry about it. Maybe people just said it casually. You also know that some Americans have a sense of superiority, as if they are superior to others. Chinese, blacks, Indians, and Mexicans are all second-class citizens in their eyes."
Liu Yifei showed a forced expression: "Really? But he also took photos for us that day and seemed quite friendly. Moreover, he suggested that you should practice kung fu and acting skills when you go to Hollywood. Maybe what he said makes sense."
At this time, Liu Xiaoli was no longer listening to what her daughter was saying. Her eyes fell on the TV, looking at Eric's young and handsome face, and some thoughts emerged in her heart.
Picking up her phone, Liu Xiaoli pressed in a number. In the past two years, she had attended many dinner parties with Chen Jinfei. Naturally, she had accumulated some contacts of her own as she participated more.
At the same time, two years later, Liu Xiaoli also understood one thing, that is, the entertainment industry and ZT are the most shameless places.
Why do some people only have one meal with those in high positions? They may not be the main protagonist of the meal, and the boss may not even remember your name, but they can get things done.
The reason is that people dare to come to you. Even if they have only met once, these people dare to visit like old friends, and then throw out a lot of money, and the matter is often done.
The key lies in whether you dare to take this first step and whether you can be brave enough to do so.
Obviously, Liu Xiaoli is a very generous woman, and she is also a beautiful woman.
(PS: The author has indeed encountered such a person.)
Fengze Garden, private room on the second floor.
Han Sanping and Zhou Xiaopeng smoked cigarettes with contented faces. They both drank more than a pound and a half, and the smell of alcohol was already red to the roots of their ears.
As soon as the project launch ceremony was held in the morning, MGM's preliminary funds were also received. The general situation was set and the future was promising. Another huge sum was recorded in the credit book.
Eric had already had a practice meal with Li Sj and the others at noon, and was preparing to fly back to the United States in the afternoon.
However, Han Sanping and Zhou Xiaopeng forced him to stay, saying that they would have another show in the evening. It was hard to refuse their hospitality, so Eric decided to stay one more day.
The result was what it was like now. Even if he didn't drink white wine, Eric felt dizzy now, not to mention the two of them.
Especially Lao Han, who has a generous personality. He is afraid that he will not be able to hold back after drinking two kilograms. You can tell by looking at the empty bottle next to him.
Now their mouths were trembling, and their words were difficult to speak, and their hometown dialect kept coming out.
Eric stood up and looked at the two companions: "Okay, that's it for today. I'll leave it to you, Director Han and Director Zhou. I've also drank a lot, so go to bed early."
After saying that, regardless of whether Han Sanping still wanted to reach out to pull him, he walked out of the box and took the elevator back to his room.
After taking a hot bath and lying on the bed, the United States reported to me every day that few media outlets were following up on the scandal between me and Nicole Kidman.
After all, Nicole Kidman stayed behind closed doors, and she was even more desperate. She simply went abroad and ran away. Now new gossip has taken over the high ground.
For example, Halle Berry publicly admitted to the media that her husband had cheated on her and that the two were about to divorce. This piece of gossip is now on the entertainment headlines, pushing Eric and Nicole out.
The alcohol started to hit him, and before he knew it, Eric fell asleep.
Dimly, I seemed to hear a knock on the door.
Eric opened his eyes and realized that it was not a dream, but someone was actually knocking on the door.
I looked at the time and saw that it was already past midnight, almost one in the morning.
"What's going on? Who's knocking on the door in the middle of the night? Has Zhang Ziyi's Bichi not given up yet?"
I put on my slippers and walked to the door. I looked through the peephole and saw a tightly wrapped woman standing at the door, but I knew it wasn't Zhang Ziyi from her figure.
"Ma'am, you knocked on the wrong door. This is not your room."
"No, I made a mistake. You are Eric Cooper, the vice president of MGM. That's you I'm looking for."
The woman at the door took off her mask and glasses as she spoke. Needless to say, the familiar face was definitely Liu Xiaoli.
Eric was a little surprised, how could this woman know that he lived here and come to his door.
"It turns out it's you. I said to this lady, didn't I just say that your daughter is not suitable for Hollywood? You don't need to seek revenge from me in the middle of the night."
"What do you want to do? Scold me? Or beat me? I'm warning you that this is a high-end place and it is monitored."
Outside the door, Liu Xiaoli was speechless for a while, thinking to herself, can I, a weak woman, beat you? Or a strong man who came to take revenge on you single-handedly in the middle of the night.
"Mr. Cooper, how could I want to take revenge on you? I saw your news on TV today, and Feifei and I recognized who you are."
"Remembering what you said that day, I specifically asked about your hotel and wanted to ask some questions."
"Some questions about Hollywood, I think you can give perfect answers."
Only then did Eric realize that it was because of the news. But just because of a casual relationship, this bitch dared to come to the door alone in the middle of the night. She was indeed ruthless and willing. This kind of person was born to be in the entertainment industry.
And he knew the other party's purpose very well. What kind of bullshit was it to ask questions and lie to children.
"Madam, you came at the wrong time. Please leave. Being seen may cause misunderstanding."
"Besides, I have a flight to catch tomorrow morning and need to rest now. If you don't leave, I will call the front desk."
"Wait a minute, I have a business I want to discuss with you, a big deal." Liu Xiaoli said hurriedly outside the door.
Hearing about the big deal, Eric became more energetic and asked: "What deal and how much is it worth?"
"Sir, shouldn't you let me go in first? Is there anyone discussing business through the door?"
Click.
Eric unlocked the door and let Liu Xiaoli in.
The other party also took off his coat and hat. The inside was similar to what Zhang Ziyi was wearing that night. It was a tight-fitting sweater that highlighted her figure.
Shaking her hair, Liu Xiaoli said: "First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Liu Xiaoli. The young one is my daughter Liu Yifei. Her English name is Crystal Liu."
"I want to say thank you for what happened that day at the Forbidden City. You took photos of our mother and daughter, and you didn't even have time to say thank you."
"You're welcome, it's nothing. I like helping people the most, especially beautiful women."
Liu Xiaoli immediately covered her mouth and laughed: "Are you American men so funny? It seems that everyone can say these things to make women happy."
Looking at her as a mature woman but with a peach blossom smile on her face, she was completely different from her attitude in the Forbidden City that day.
"Ms. Liu, if you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. It's really getting late. What projects do you have?"
Seeing Eric trying to drive people away again without saying a word, Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but curse in her heart: "Damn it, how could this happen? Why should I go back to the United States tomorrow!"
The reason why she came here tonight was just to seduce Eric and make this man covet her.
Late at night is when people's desires are strongest. Her long years of dancing experience and beautiful face make her very confident in her own charm.
However, it is limited to seduction, and it is impossible to let the other party eat.
As long as you hook the other person and stretch him out for a while, the man will be eager and eager, and he will naturally bring benefits.
This method has been tried and tested against men. She is very experienced. As for business, what kind of business can she have? Chen Jinfei's is not her Liu Xiaoli's.
But once Eric leaves tomorrow, he will still be stretching his butt across the Pacific Ocean. Maybe today will be the last chance, and the daylilies will be cold tomorrow morning.
Gritting her teeth, Liu Xiaoli said: "Mr. Cooper, if Feifei wants to develop in Hollywood, can you help her?"
"I said, if you practice your kung fu and acting skills well, she can go." Eric said calmly.
"No, I mean can we give her some special care?"
"What do you mean? You don't want her to be the heroine directly, do you? Or create a work tailor-made for her?"
"Is that okay?" Liu Xiaoli's eyes lit up.
"Of course not! Hollywood is not about charity. Based on her performance in "The Family", her acting skills can't even match those of many extras. She doesn't have the qualifications!"
"You!" Liu Xiaoli was furious.
"Ms. Liu, don't you think it's abrupt to ask this kind of question after we meet for the second time? And let me tell you, American men are not humorous at all. They are more realistic than Chinese!"
"Also, if you don't want your daughter to become a porn star, there is another way to be accepted by Hollywood, and that is to be a porn star. Are you willing to let her take off her clothes?"
In an instant, Liu Xiaoli felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
"Don't look at me with such an ugly look, Ms. Liu. This is such a realistic place. If this is the business you want to discuss, then I don't see any benefit from it. I really want to take a rest."
Eric issued an eviction order, but Liu Xiaoli didn't seem to want to leave just like that.
She stared at Eric closely and suddenly said: "You can take it off, too."
"What!" Eric was surprised this time.
"It's just me taking it off!"
