Chapter 1028: Get the World Premiere
A cup of warm coffee.

Not long after landing, Xiang Yang accompanied Liu Qianqian to the hotel booked by "Prometheus".

Liu Qianqian did make a cup of coffee for Xiangyang.

But not ice.

Xiangyang, who seldom drank hot coffee, was stared at by a pair of bright eyes and didn't even dare to breathe.

"Xiang, Liu, Shaffer, I'm glad to see you at last." As the director of "Prometheus", Ridley Scott did not go to the airport to greet them in person.

Staged?

That is impossible.

The consideration of holding the event in the hotel lobby was because running to the airport might cause misunderstandings with other actors in the crew.

It also caused trouble for Liu Xixi's subsequent filming.

"Hello, director, and everyone. Nice to meet you all." Xiangyang smiled and greeted.

and Ridley Scott appeared in the lobby, in addition to screenwriters Damon Lindelof and Joe Spaihts.

Of course, the other leading actors cannot be absent.

This is the main investor.

Who doesn’t know the relationship between HYS and Hermès Film Investment Company?

It is said that the successful creation of the script of "Prometheus" was inseparable from the chance encounter between the director and the designer in Greece.

Ok.

Thanks to this chance encounter, Ridley Scott obtained a huge investment.

Liu Qianqian also followed suit.
But they were more or less surprised that Xiangyang accompanied them personally.

They thought he was accompanied by the CEO of the film company under the luxury group.

But soon, Noomi Rapace and Guy Pearce followed suit and greeted Xiang Yang, Liu Xixi and Bea Shaver.

Talulah Riley, on the other hand, was more friendly.

There's nothing I can do about it, after all she has connections.

"Honestly, your performance in Inception really stood out to me."

Facing Musk's fiancée, Xiang Yang also used words to flatter her.

"I've also seen Liu's new movie." Talulah Riley not only said it naturally, but also took Liu Xixi's arm.

They didn't mind blocking the presence of outsiders and behaved extremely intimately.

"really envy you."

She said softly.

Look at them, Xiangyang is escorting them personally.

Take another look at yourself.
"Hehe, no." Although she denied it, the corners of Liu Qianqian's mouth curled up slightly.

In fact, she and Talulah Riley were not very familiar with each other.

Allowing others to hug his arm was entirely out of consideration for the relationship between Xiangyang and Musk.

The other actors reacted calmly to this scene.

Who says there are no connections in Hollywood?
Nicolas Cage is the nephew of Francis Coppola, the director of "The Godfather". Duncan Jones, who directed "Source Code", was originally named Joey Bowie, and his father is rock musician David Bowie.

Anthony Russo and Marilyn Monroe
This kind of people with connections are everywhere in Hollywood.

This is still apparent.

Many parties involved do not speak out voluntarily, and there are even more people who don’t know.

Like Jennifer Lawrence, the young actress who has suddenly become popular in Hollywood recently, who would have thought that she is Jeremy Renner's cousin?

And even if you don't care.

Before coming here, the agents of other actors also specifically reminded me to act as calmly as possible.

Unless you don’t want to endorse luxury goods.

It doesn’t mean that Xiangyang has already gained the right to speak in the entire luxury goods circle.

But it would definitely be bad to offend him.

But what surprised them was that after Xiang Yang greeted everyone present and briefly exchanged a few words with Ridley Scott, he announced with a smile:

"Everyone, I asked my assistant to book a nice restaurant for you in advance. Please take some time to have dinner with us."

"Yes, that's right. This is a surprise specially arranged for tonight." Ridley Scott also laughed.

As to whether this surprise was really discussed in advance or was Xiangyang’s impromptu proposal.

Is this important?
He could swear.

If he stopped the actors and staff from having dinner tonight, the rest of the filming would certainly not be easy for him.

Especially when it comes to the final editing process.

As soon as he finished speaking, not only the actors and his partners, but even the crew members cheered for the generosity of the investors.

How could a restaurant booked by a luxury group be bad?

As a result, the entire crew was mobilized.

The restaurant that Bi Shafer booked was Fjrukráin, a local old restaurant with a history of more than a hundred years and a very Viking style.

When she arrived at the restaurant, Liu Qianqian, who hadn't even looked at the menu, seemed to remember something.

She quickly walked over to Xiang Yang, who was communicating with Ridley Scott and two screenwriters, and whispered, "I'm going to prepare a special delicacy for you. You must try it."

"Special food?" Xiangyang asked curiously.

Even though the two of them spoke in a very low voice, Ridley Scott and others heard it.

What are the special foods in Iceland?
Apart from rye bread with fish paste, the most famous local dark dish is stinky shark.

As the name suggests, it is rotten shark meat.

Noticing that the expressions of several people were not right, Liu Qianqian covered her mouth and laughed secretly again.

Xiangyang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

You are so grown up, but still so naughty.

Is there any special food that I haven’t tried?

In London, I can even chew on “Look Up at the Stars”.

"Okay, you go first, I'll find you later." After that, Xiang Yang signaled to Liu Qianqian that he had something to talk about with Ridley Scott and others.

This matter actually has something to do with Liu Xixi.

It would be more appropriate for Little John to talk about it.

"Xiang, if you want to arrange the global premiere at the same time, I believe Fox will have no reason to refuse."

After listening to the general outline, Ridley Scott said that he was fully capable of cooperating.

As long as "Prometheus", he still has the final editing rights.

Then that's not a problem.

But this also has a prerequisite, which is that it cannot affect his use of the development of the plot to pave the way for the second and third parts.

I don’t want to go through “Kingdom of Heaven” again.

"I will definitely arrange for someone to support you in this regard, don't worry about that."

Xiangyang said solemnly.

According to him, Fox is also an investor in "Prometheus".

But it depends more on their distribution power.

What's more, he has helpers here.

Musk's Tesla also paid money to sponsor the filming of the movie, and this relationship was found by Xiangyang.

"As for editing rights, it's up to you to follow what's written in black and white in the contract."

"it is good."

After hearing Xiang Yang's assurance, Ridley Scott readily agreed.

Isn't it just to edit a special version to comply with China's film censorship system and strive for a simultaneous premiere?

As long as you have enough time, it's not a big deal.

"Also, there's one more thing I hope you can help me with, Ridley." Seeing that he was straightforward, Xiangyang naturally became generous as well.

"I'd like to buy the copyright for a novel. I think it's worth adapting into a movie. If you're interested, can you help me find a screenwriter?"

"Novel? Copyright? Adapted into a movie?" For a moment, Ridley Scott couldn't help but think of "House of Cards".

"Uh, he's also a British writer." Xiang Yang was a little embarrassed when introducing "50 Shades of Grey" to a silver-haired director.

He was afraid that Ridley Scott and others would misunderstand him.

He was beaten.

"Xiang, I'm afraid that's wrong." Ridley Scott was embarrassed.

He was completely focused on "Prometheus" and wanted to make this movie into the "Alien Prequel" series, so he had no time to do other work.

"Xiang, why don't I give it a try?" Joe Spaihts, who had been listening to the conversation between the two and didn't talk much, took the initiative to fight for it.

"Yes, Joe is more suitable for this job."

Ridley Scott, who was trying to find a suitable excuse to refuse, immediately took over his partner's words.

Fearing that Xiang Yang was not familiar with his partner, he continued:

“Although Joe is young, his ideas on movies are closer to those of young people. Maybe he can give you some good suggestions.”

"The film that Joe wrote alone has entered post-production." Another screenwriter, Damon Lindelof, also helped out by adding a word.

Although I feel a little regretful for not speaking first.

But more importantly, shouldn't we help Joe Spaihts get the screenwriting rights for the novel mentioned by Xiang Yang?

In this way, he can also join the screenwriter team after finishing "Prometheus".

There is also money to be made.

Joe Spaihts looked at the two of them gratefully, then stared straight at Xiangyang in front of him.

To be honest, I feel a little unsure.

But he really wants to seize this rare opportunity.

There is no shortage of opportunities to become famous overnight in Hollywood, but not everyone can see the opportunity right in front of them.

In particular, the new project that the film company behind the person in front of him is about to launch.

Chanel's sponsorship of "The Great Gatsby" caused quite a stir in the entertainment industry after the Paris Fashion Week ended.

The two major projects of Lovemes Film Investment Company this year, "Prometheus" and "House of Cards", are also not small.

It’s hard to say whether this mysterious project mentioned by Xiangyang is intended to compete with “The Great Gatsby”.

"Since Ridley has recommended it, I'll have Shaffer prepare a confidentiality contract and contact you later."

Xiangyang's words gave Ridley Scott face.

"Okay, thank you, I will." Joe Spaihts, who didn't expect Xiangyang to be so easy to talk to, didn't know how to express his gratitude.

However, he actually has no shortage of opportunities in his career as a screenwriter.

He was the screenwriter for Marvel's "Doctor Strange" in 2016, as well as the subsequent "Dune 2", "Dune 3" and the "Dune" series.

Ok.

He and Curly also have an affair.

"You're welcome. I should be thanking you." Xiangyang waved his hand with a smile.

He doesn't even remember who the screenwriter and director of "50 Shades of Grey" are.

Taking the initiative to find a reliable screenwriter to help is also to control Little John.

Everyone knows that his good friend seems to be running the Hermès Film Investment Company's project perfectly.

But he was also notoriously unreliable when it came to his own affairs.

Ridley Scott was secretly happy to see that the matter was being thrown out.

He picked up the water glass on the table and raised it with a smile: "Congratulations, Qiao. And congratulations to Xiang, you found a reliable screenwriter."

"Director, don't worry, I won't delay the filming of Prometheus."

Joe Spaihts thanked.

After he finished speaking, Xiang Yang and Damon Lindelof also picked up their glasses of water.

As for the wine, I’ll add more later.

It seemed that the atmosphere among the director, screenwriter and Xiang Yang was unusual.

The actors also cast curious glances.

"Liu, do you know what they are talking about?"

Relying on their personal relationship, Talulah Riley, who was sitting next to Liu Xixi, withdrew her curious gaze.

"I probably know something." Liu Qianqian pursed her lips.

It should be an attempt to gain the support of Ridley Scott and others for including the mainland in the global premiere area of ​​"Prometheus".

In her opinion, there was nothing wrong with Xiangyang's behavior.

He is not a director or screenwriter, so of course he needs cooperation from the executors.

Do it yourself?

Haha.

If Xiangyang is asked to write something, then there would be no problem.

Let's forget about letting him shoot and edit.

She had admired Xiangyang's Vlog shooting, and she looked very ugly in the camera.

"No, I think there's a reason why so many people like your Vlog." Talulah Riley shook her head.

She didn't agree with what Liu Qianqian said.

Liu Qianqian was the first to shoot Vlogs, but she didn’t just post them on Bilibili.

Photos on INS.

The video was also uploaded on Youtbe.

Talulah Riley followed Liu Xixi's social media accounts and spent time studying the content.

The massive amount of views forces every star who wants to get a piece of the pie to do so.

She is no exception as she is involved in the Hollywood circle and has a wealthy fiancé.

From her perspective, the occasional simple interactions between the two are full of sweetness.

Among them, Liu Qianqian took the camera with great anticipation, deleted the photos in a panic and complained with resentment after looking at them, which was very real.

No matter how hard others try to imitate this, they cannot.

"It's not just about Prometheus, it's also about another movie."

Bi Shafer, who has a special status as Xiangyang's assistant, also sat with the two of them.

"Ok?"

"Ok?"

The moment the words fell, Liu Xixi and Talulah Riley looked at him at the same time.

But one of them is full of curiosity.

another.
"He's hiding something from me again. It seems the whip wasn't harsh enough." Liu Qianqian was furious when she found out Xiangyang was doing things behind her back again.

"Fifty Shades of Grey." Bea Schaeffer didn't pay attention to Talulah Riley's gaze, but explained to Liu Xixi.

This novel, you know it~
"." Liu Qianqian immediately turned her head away, pretending that she had not cared about it just now.

"What's gray?" Talulah Riley was curious about why Liu Xixi suddenly changed her attitude, and her face turned a little red.

And that's without drinking.

"It's just a novel. I asked someone to buy the copyright." Seeing that she was staring at her and Bi Shaffer didn't say anything, Liu Qianqian had to explain herself.

It's the tone, it's a bit awkward.

"I borrowed the money from you." Bi Shafer reminded with a smile, don't forget to get the money back.

"You don't need to remind me."

Liu Qianqian said in her heart and glared at the little bee with warning eyes.

Throughout the restaurant.

I guess she is the only one who dares to do this.

Bi Shafer pouted and said, "I mean well~"
"Ah, he actually wants to borrow money from you?"

The interaction between the two made Talulah Riley even more confused.

Especially, that statement by Bea Schaffer.

The CEO of Hermès Film Investment Company actually borrowed money from Liu Xixi?

this.
