I really don't want to be in the entertainment industry.

Chapter 364 Li Changyi's Confession (Seeking Subscription Support!)
...

Although he is the producer of "Iron Man", Xu Kai did not use this status to fight for power with Jon Favreau, but gave Jon Favreau many pertinent suggestions according to the "Iron Man" in his previous life, such as Carry out a "cosmetic" character modification for Iron Man, retain and strengthen Iron Man's original good elemental attributes, and remove all bad element settings, such as setting Iron Man as tall, rich and handsome, etc...

Jon Favreau graduated from Queens College and has directed several in-depth films. He is a well-known director in Hollywood. Xu Kai has seen the works directed by Jon Favreau, so he still has a lot of love for Jon Favreau. Confidence.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Kai has always only suggested to Jon Favreau, and did not interfere with his directing "Iron Man".

In addition to being too busy, Xu Kai sometimes does not come to the "Iron Man" crew for a week, so naturally he will not point fingers at Jon Favreau, avoiding the conflict between the director and the producer that often occurs in many crew dramas. sharp contradictions.

This undoubtedly won the favor of Jon Favreau.

The key point is that Xu Kai's suggestions to Jon Fruti are all very pertinent and constructive.

In addition, Xu Kai has the title of the number one commercial director, and his fame and strength are all there. If he doesn't compete with Jon Favreau, it's because Xu Kai doesn't want to fight, it's not impossible, or he can't compete.

Jon Favreau knew this very well, and he got closer and closer to Xu Kai, and finally became friends.

Since Xu Kai got along very well with Jon Favreau, Xu Kai supported the actor Robert Stark chosen by Jon Favreau in the selection of Iron Man's actor.

Robert Stark also publicly stated that he has always been a die-hard fan of the original comics. If the film makes 15 sequels, he will insist on playing Iron Man 15 times.

In private, Robert Stark was very grateful to Xu Kai for supporting him. After all, in terms of his own conditions alone, he was actually no better than other candidates. If Jon Favreau and Xu Kai hadn't supported him, he would not have won the to the role of Iron Man.

The key point is that Xu Kai is half of the employer and holds the copyright of Iron Man. Only by having a good relationship with Xu Kai can Robert Stark continue to play the role of Iron Man.

It has to be said that Jon Favreau and Xu Kai have a good relationship, and there are actually reasons for this.

Well, regardless of the reason, in a word, Xu Kai gets along well with everyone in the "Iron Man" crew, even though he doesn't come to the "Iron Man" crew very often.

……

At the end of November, "Detective Chinatown 11" landed on domestic Lunar New Year files as scheduled.

Xu Kai finally returned to China in spite of his busy schedule.

It's impossible if Xu Kai doesn't come back, because some unscrupulous media say everything.

For example, Xu Kai did not have confidence in "Detective Chinatown 2", so he dared not come back to promote "Detective Chinatown 2";
For example, Xu Kai and his old partner Chen Ruoxi broke up because of love and hate, so they didn't come back to stand for "Detective Chinatown 2";
Like Xu Kai, who made enough money in Huaguo, but ran to become a citizen of the beautiful country, he is a traitor that everyone should boycott!

and many more……

In this case, if Xu Kai doesn't come to the premiere of "Detective Chinatown 2" in person, it will probably affect the box office of "Detective Chinatown 2".

Therefore, Xu Kai not only returned to China to attend the premiere of "Detective Chinatown 2" this time, but also walked the red carpet with Chen Ruoxi in a very high-profile manner.

In addition, after the premiere ceremony, Xu Kai asked Yang Xinchun to post a long post on his personal public account.

It probably means:
I, Xu Kai, did not make money from Huaguo to go to the beautiful country. I went to the beautiful country this time to film "Detective Chinatown 2", "Rush Hour", "The Grandmaster 4", "Lover's First Kiss" and "Iron Man" At the same time, I have been taking my other new film "Farewell My Concubine" to participate in the selection of major film festivals during this time.

So, recently, the reason why I, Xu Kai, haven't shown up in China is not at all what those villains with ulterior motives slandered me, it's just because I have too many things to do abroad recently, and I am so busy that I don't have time to go back to China.

At the same time, "Xu Kai" attached his Chinese passport, some photos of himself at the filming locations of various movies, and he brought some actors and staff from the "Farewell My Concubine" crew at major film festivals. Some photos of appearances.

Finally, "Xu Kai" also attached the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival won by "Farewell My Concubine", the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film in the Beautiful Country, the Best Foreign Language Film at the Royal Academy of Film Awards in England, and the Best Foreign Language Film at the Romantic Country Film César Award. Best Foreign Language Film, Blue Dragon Award for Best Foreign Language Film, Japan Film Critics Association Best Foreign Language Film and more than a dozen award certificates, large and small.

"Xu Kai" wrote another paragraph under the densely packed award-winning photos: I am not posting these to show off, nor to promote "Farewell My Concubine", I just want to explain to everyone how I have been abroad recently How busy you are, I hope everyone will not be led by those villains with ulterior motives.

Finally, I would like to ask everyone to support my new movie "Detective Chinatown 2", thank you!

As soon as Xu Kai's statement was issued, it was immediately pushed to the top of the hot search list, triggering a huge discussion.

In fact, in the recent period, that is, during the period when Xu Kai was not in China, there have been constant news about Xu Kai and "Farewell My Concubine".

Without it, it's just because "Farewell My Concubine" is so competitive. It not only won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes International Film Festival, the most influential and top international film festival in the world today, but also won the Golden Globe Award including the Beautiful Country. Many awards with international influence including the best foreign language film.

These awards are too exciting and proud for the Hua people who have never achieved such a high achievement.

Moreover, the road to winning awards for "Farewell My Concubine" is still going on-not to mention other awards, now as long as "Farewell My Concubine" can win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film to be held in January next year, it will create "Farewell My Concubine" Xu Kai in "Farewell My Concubine", on the road of film art, has almost nothing to fight for, and what's more, it may be that the Oscars will give Xu Kai a Lifetime Achievement Award.

Under such circumstances, of course, the major media in Huaguo hyped Xu Kai and Xu Kai's "Farewell My Concubine". Dare to take a breath.

By the way, because "Farewell My Concubine" has achieved such dazzling results, those fifth-generation directors, sixth-generation directors, and old artists finally recognized Xu Kai's status as a famous director, and felt that Xu Kai was finally qualified to work with them. The director of the film.

Of course, Xu Kai didn't care about these.

But then again, people in sedan chairs carry people, plant more peaches and plums and less thorns. Since people are flattering themselves, they should also show respect for their predecessors. There is no need to be unconventional and make enemies for yourself. It is better to be humble to make more friends. , Make fewer enemies, so that your own path can go smoothly.

Therefore, whenever a senior praises him, Xu Kai will respond positively and modestly.

Xu Kai was right to do so. With the solidarity and support of the vast number of netizens and these five-generation directors, six-generation directors, and veteran artists, the relevant departments have already begun to consider allowing "Farewell My Concubine" to be released in China...

but--

Although relevant departments have begun to discuss the lifting of the ban on "Farewell My Concubine", "Farewell My Concubine" cannot be screened in a short time.

This has also led to "Detective Chinatown 2" that really borrows the style of "Farewell My Concubine" at this stage.

——Because Xu Kai's "Farewell My Concubine" has dominated the hot search list for a long time, Xu Kai's upcoming "Detective Chinatown 2" will inevitably attract widespread attention, especially under the deliberate guidance of Chen Ruoxi and others, coupled with the With Xu Kai's unparalleled reputation in the past and the high popularity of "Detective Chinatown", "Detective Chinatown 2" is definitely a hit before it is released.

How hot is it?

It was so popular that the premiere at zero o'clock sold more than 800 million at the box office.

And the movie tickets for the first day of "Detective Chinatown 2" are already hard to come by. The scalpers even quarreled the ticket price to 500 yuan a piece.

The reason why "Detective Chinatown 2" is so popular is not only the reasons mentioned above, but also because after the zero o'clock premiere, the first wave of word-of-mouth of "Detective Chinatown 2" has also come out.

"Detective Chinatown 2, which focuses on suspense and comedy, seems to be on fire again. The unique style, excellent quality, delicate expression techniques and brand-new detective combination all make the author's eyes shine. I bet that "Chinatown "Detective 2" will definitely continue Yu Qingyun's box office myth, and become the seed player who has the last laugh in this year's Lunar New Year file!"

"Compared to "Detective Chinatown 2", the story of "Detective Chinatown 2" is more complicated and the pattern is more grand. The opening is the World Famous Detective Contest in New York, where famous detectives with different shapes and extraordinary abilities gather together , the winner of the contest will win a high prize. And behind the contest and the prize, an unimaginable serial murder case is subtly introduced. A cruel murderer who specializes in hunting the organs of living people, seemingly unrelated murder scenes, A few victims who didn't know each other at all... The film started in a suspenseful atmosphere. "Detective Chinatown [-]" can be said to bring suspense, reasoning, funny, nostalgia and other elements to the extreme, and what it brings is A full upgrade from story to structure."

"..."

In the past, those who hated Xu Kai did not dare to jump out and make irresponsible remarks when Xu Kai relied on the power of "Farewell My Concubine" and "Detective Chinatown 2" was above the standard.

This also led to "Detective Chinatown 2" with almost zero negative reviews, and the scores of major platforms are also very high.

Seeing this, those film dealers have greatly tilted their film schedule to "Detective Chinatown 2", making the film schedule rate of "Detective Chinatown 2" as high as 70%.

Don't forget, everyone, this is the Lunar New Year file with the largest number of viewers and countless movies vying for the number of slots!

Under such circumstances, "Detective Chinatown 2" can still be given such a high number of films. It is conceivable that those filmmakers have high expectations for "Detective Chinatown 2".

"Detective Chinatown 2" lived up to expectations. The box office on the first day reached more than 5 million, and the box office in the first week exceeded 7 billion, accounting for 25% of the total box office. Hello, Li Huanying" will be stronger.

Everyone predicts that as long as there are no major accidents, "Detective Chinatown 2" will definitely break the box office record set by "Hello, Li Huanying", and its total box office may even exceed 50 billion, or even more. The box office champion of the new domestic film.

Undoubtedly, Xu Kai once again proved to the world that his reputation as the number one commercial film director is well-deserved.

……

This time when Xu Kai returned to China, besides attending the premiere of "Detective Chinatown 2" and eliminating hidden dangers for the release of "Detective Chinatown 2", he also had to meet someone.

——A person who helped Xu Kai a lot.

This person is Xu Kai's classmate in the CEO class of Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, and the person who introduced Xu Kai to join Huaguo Relay - Li Changyi.

Xu Kai encountered a headache some time ago.

This matter is that Xu Kai is seriously short of money.

Originally, Xu Kai was not short of money.

After all, each of Xu Kai's movies is very profitable, and it is a steady stream of blood transfusions for Xu Kai.

In this case, no matter how you look at it, Xu Kai shouldn't be short of money.

however--

Not long ago, Long Zijin suddenly heard that Lufthansa, Europe's largest commercial aviation empire, had retired 70 civil aviation airliners at the same time.

At present, Xingyun Express has 41 self-owned all-cargo aircraft, 16 leased all-cargo aircraft, 57 routes and 396 pilots, and has become the largest cargo airline in China.

If Xingyun Express can eat the 70 decommissioned civil aviation airliners of Lufthansa, although it is still far away from the international express giants (FedEx 671, UPS 649, DHL 420), even the three major airlines are far behind It is far away, but at least Xu Kai will no longer have to spend money on Xingyun Express in the future. Xingyun Express can also complete the initial layout and become an unshakable leader in the express delivery industry in Huaguo, with a broad space for development.

When Xu Kaichu heard the news, he let out a sigh of relief.

In the past few years, Xu Kai has really made a lot of money, but most of the money Xu Kai earned has been thrown into the big pit of Xingyun Express.

What others don't know is that Xu Kai is actually under a lot of pressure.

Fortunately, Xu Kai can be completely relieved only by this last blow.

but--

What Xu Kai didn't know was, how much was this embarrassment.

Therefore, when Xu Kai heard that it might cost almost 70 billion to buy the 100 decommissioned civil aviation airliners of Lufthansa, Xu Kai was in a bad mood.

Xu Kai is very rich.

But if you ask Xu Kai to come up with 100 billion all at once, isn't that bullshit?

Long Zijin said that Xingyun Express can squeeze out up to 20 billion to Xu Kai, and Xu Kai has to figure out a way to solve the 80 billion gap.

In addition, during Xu Kai's time in the beautiful country, he bought Artisan Films, bought the copyright of Marvel's superhero characters, invested in "Iron Man", invested in "Rush Hour", and invested in "The Grandmaster 4". money.

Crucially, Xu Kai has also invested in a lot of projects he is optimistic about, such as group buying.com, rice mobile phone, short video platform, ByteDance, 360, Vipshop, YY, and competitive world.

So, don't say that Long Zijin wants 80 billion with Xu Kai at this time, even if he wants 8 million with Xu Kai, Xu Kai will have a hard time getting it out.

Just when Xu Kaitou was worried about how to get the money, Li Changyi suddenly contacted Xu Kai and asked Xu Kai's recent situation.

Later, when the two were chatting, Li Changyi took the initiative to confess to Xu Kai that her name was not Li Meimei, but Li Changyi. His father was Li Yonghong, the largest shareholder and chairman of Hua Guoxin Bank.

When Xu Kai heard that Li Changyi's family owned a bank, he immediately thought of taking out a loan.

So Xu Kai asked Li Changyi about it.

What Xu Kai didn't expect was that Li Changyi was really doing things for Xu Kai, so she asked her father Li Yonghong to contact Xu Kai that night.

Xu Kai had a long talk with Li Yonghong, and Li Yonghong even flew to the beautiful country to meet Xu Kai.

Because Xu Kaihua, a well-known rich man on the Forbes list, has huge assets, and her precious daughter Li Changyi is the matchmaker, the key point is that Xu Kai is willing to mortgage the entire Xingyun Express (including the 70 Lufthansa decommissioned civil aviation airliners to be purchased) to Minxin Bank, Li Yonghong, on behalf of Minxin Bank, was willing to lend 100 billion to Xu Kai, and it only took a dozen working days to lend the loan.

Although this is a mutually beneficial business transaction, there is no personal emotion involved in it, it is completely business, but without Li Changyi helping Xu Kai and Li Yonghong to bridge the gap, this large project involving 100 billion loans would not be so easy Let’s just talk about it, and it’s impossible to lend money so quickly, even if Xingyun Express, which bought 70 retired civil aviation airliners from Lufthansa, has a market value of more than 200 billion.

Therefore, Xu Kai felt that he owed Li Changyi a lot of favors, and because of reason, Xu Kai should go to see Li Changyi when he returned to China...
