America is in control

Chapter 251: Don’t be too happy about being slapped in the face and the tentacles are beginning to appear

On the contrary, if the two directors fail to continue this momentum, the result will be self-evident.

After the four chatted for a few more words, Dayton and Farrell said goodbye and left very wisely.

"John, thank you so much for letting me play this role."

"Boss, thank you for giving me this opportunity."

"Bro, when will your next movie be approved?"

One after another, the cast and crew of the show, employees of New Caesars Entertainment, and members of the Kings fraternity of the University of Southern California came over.

"It was your performance that won the recognition of the crew! Come on, as long as it is gold, it will shine, and Hollywood will not stop anyone from shining."

"Work hard! I can see your hard work. After the movie is released, a generous bonus will be waiting for you."

"Isn't it because there are no good scripts? I remember that you seem to know a few good screenwriters. If you have any good scripts, please recommend them to me."

With a gentle smile on his face, General Liu responded one by one, striving to make everyone come and return with pleasure.

Connery felt particularly happy when he saw that the little boyfriend next to him had a hint of a boss's demeanor.

During this period, the box office of "Looking for the Midnight Kiss" soared, which really shocked her!
Connery never expected that the first movie planned by his young boyfriend would achieve such amazing results.

She inevitably regretted why she didn't win the leading role in this movie.

If I were to play the role of the rich girl, wouldn't I be the one who steals the show? There is nothing wrong with Cate Blanchett!

Unfortunately, things have already happened and no one can turn back time.

Fortunately, it’s not too late to remedy the situation!
In the past few days, I have tried my best to please my boyfriend in every possible way, and I have booked the heroine of his next movie in advance.

When he thought of this, Connery's mood became even more beautiful, and his eyes were almost twitching when he looked at General Liu.

The champagne in her hand kept pouring into her mouth, and she was already a little tipsy now.

"John, let's go there first."

Daniel Dubic and Jason Reitman bid farewell to General Liu.

"You can do whatever you want and have fun!"

Liu Jiang raised his head towards the two of them and watched the other party leave.

"Wow! Look who I met! Isn't this John, a newly famous Hollywood producer?"

Nicolas Cage's slightly exaggerated voice sounded from the side.

"It's a great honor to be praised by the Oscar for Best Actor!"

Liu Jiang turned to look at Nicolas Cage and his wife, and said with an exaggerated expression.

Faced with Nicolas Cage's ridicule, he did not fall behind at all.

After the two looked at each other, they laughed out loud and hugged again.

"John, congratulations! I didn't expect your talent in filmmaking to be so outstanding! This is really surprising!"

Nicolas Cage let go of General Liu, and then looked at him up and down with an inquiring look.

"Nick, I can't do all this alone. I can only say that the team I formed is more powerful! Lady Luck is also on my side!"

General Liu met the other party's gaze openly and said modestly.

"You're so lucky! By the way, "Looking for the Midnight Kiss" was a hit at the box office. Shouldn't you make up for my guest appearance?"

Nicolas Cage patted Liu Jiang on the shoulder and teased him.

"Uh! Isn't that a friendly guest appearance? What's the relationship between us? Asking for money would hurt our feelings! In short, don't even think about it!"

Liu Jiang deliberately pretended to be a miser, causing the three people around him to laugh.

"Hi Jennifer, you look great!"

"Long time no see! Mrs. Cage, your beauty."

"Nick, congratulations on winning the leading role in "Prison in the Sky". This is a big production."

"John, your movie is wonderful."

The four of them chatted animatedly, and at this moment, David Lynch came over with his daughter Jennifer Lynch.

"Hey, John, your movie is very good, and the box office results are also very impressive!"

"Hi Nick, long time no see"

David Lynch first greeted General Liu, and then he greeted the remaining three people.

"Thank you, Director David, I have benefited a lot from your advice."

Liu Jiang said to the other party politely.

David Lynch vaguely touched Jennifer Lynch next to him with his elbow, indicating that the other party had something to say quickly.

"Mr. John, I'm very sorry! Please forgive me for my previous arrogance."

Jennifer Lynch apologized to General Liu coyly, but the expression on her face was still a bit reluctant.

At the last premiere of "The Island", this idiot woman with a big brain had a rather disdainful attitude towards "Searching for the Midnight Kiss".

This made Liu Jiang very unhappy, and even Nicolas Cage almost couldn't stand it anymore.

If it weren't for the sake of director David Lynch, the two would never look good on Jennifer Lynch.

But now, the facts have proven everything, and it’s not very satisfying to be slapped in the face!
This idiot woman with a big brain is indeed a blind fool!

Still reluctant to do so, it turns out that low EQ is more terrifying than low IQ.

"Ms. Jennifer, you are worrying too much. I never paid attention to what happened before."

Liu Jiang smiled and waved his hand, and brushed off the matter lightly.

"John, when will your next movie be approved?"

"Are you planning to make a sequel to "Looking for the Midnight Kiss" or..."

"My daughter Jennifer is very good at directing this type of film. Can you give her a chance?"

David Lynch was relieved when he saw that Liu Jiang didn't take what happened before to heart.

He hurriedly revealed the purpose of his trip, intending to win an opportunity for his daughter to direct the sequel to the hit movie.

"Director David, "Looking for the Midnight Kiss" hasn't been released yet, so I won't consider the sequel for the time being."

"As for my next movie, it won't be approved anytime soon!"

"You also know that I am still a student, and my boxing career also involves most of my energy."

Liu Jiang found some reasons at random and declined the other party tactfully.

Let Jennifer Lynch direct her next movie, it's crazy! Absolutely impossible!

Although he didn't care about the other party's previous words, it didn't mean that he would want to deal with this idiot woman with a big brain in the future.

David Lynch heard the meaning of General Liu's words, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He wanted to continue saying something, but was stopped by Jennifer Lynch beside him.

Nicolas Cage is also a good person. After seeing the scene in front of him, he immediately changed the topic and everyone started chatting.

Not long after, David Lynch took Jennifer Lynch and left.

"Director David is so unlucky! He has such an unattractive daughter!"

Nicolas Cage looked at the two people leaving and whispered to General Liu.

"Who says it isn't?"

Liu Jiang suppressed his laughter and echoed the other party.

Mud can't hold up the wall, and a slave girl can't do it!
Nicolas Cage and his wife soon said goodbye and left, and it was only then that General Liu noticed something unusual about Connery next to him.

I saw that the other party's pretty face was red, his eyes were slightly squinted, and his eyes were a little blurry, looking slightly drunk.

"Honey, are you okay? How much champagne did you drink!"

General Liu held onto Connelly's waist, which was too full to hold, and asked softly.

"Little Lion, I'm not drunk! I'm in good shape now. Today is a day worth celebrating. Give me another glass of champagne! Brandy will do too!"

Connelly half leaned and half leaned on General Liu's broad chest, raised his head slightly, and said coquettishly.

Her eyes were gleaming, she was gazing at Yan Xing, and her every smile exuded infinite charm.

Not to mention, Connery’s drunk appearance is really charming! It is not an exaggeration to say that she is stunning in the audience!
Liu Jiang had a headache. When would the big cream cake be served in the cup?

What's more important is that the other party's drinking capacity seems to be very light. In Connery's current state, he might be drunk later.

But I couldn't get away for a while, so what should I do?

never mind! We can only ask Lina (female bodyguard) to send Connery back to the Irvine Villa first and take care of him temporarily.

Thinking of this, General Liu made a decision. He immediately took out his mobile phone and called Lina, asking her to come over quickly.

General Liu helped Connery to the door of the banquet hall, and Lina was already in place.

It took a lot of effort for the two of them to get the drunk Connery into the car.

After giving Lina a few more words, General Liu turned around and returned to the banquet hall.

As soon as he walked to the center of the banquet hall and stood still, the boss of New Line Cinema, Shea, came over.

"John, "Looking for the Midnight Kiss" is so popular, how do you think about the sequel?"

Liu Jiang thought Shay was here to discuss the next promotion of "Looking for the Midnight Kiss", but he didn't expect that the other party would mention the sequel as soon as he opened his mouth. Could it be that the other party was interested in the sequel production rights of the movie?

He thought for a moment and asked tentatively.

"Uh! Mr. Shea, "Searching for the Midnight Kiss" hasn't even been released yet. Is it too early to think about a sequel?"

Shay smiled, reached out and patted the other party's shoulder, and said with certainty.

"Of course you have to make money early! You may not know much about it, but now is the best time!"

"While the popularity of "Looking for the Midnight Kiss" is still high, announcing the sequel project will not only save a lot of trouble, but also stimulate the movie's box office."

"Actually, this movie is more suitable for the summer season, rather than the off-season like October! You also know that the audience for "Looking for the Midnight Kiss" are young people!"

"If the sequel is approved now, when the movie is produced, it will be released in the summer season next year!"

"Next year's summer season is a very good opportunity. New Line Cinema can jointly produce a sequel to this movie with New Caesars Entertainment. What do you think?"

A flash of light flashed in Xie Yi's eyes, and he was bewitching General Liu.

"Mr. Shea, I would like to think about the sequel to "Looking for the Midnight Kiss" again!"

General Liu thought for a moment and did not make an immediate decision. Instead, he adopted delaying tactics.

Although what the other party said seems to make sense, everything generally has two sides. There is nothing in this world that only has advantages and no disadvantages.

So he planned to consult professionals for advice and make a decision after careful consideration.

"John, if you don't plan to make a sequel to "Looking for the Midnight Kiss," you can also sell the sequel production rights to New Line Cinema. I guarantee that I will give you a satisfactory price."

Seeing that Liu Jiang was hesitant and hesitant, Xie Yi came up with a new idea and spent money to buy out the sequel production rights of the movie.

Whether it was cooperation or buyout, he could accept it. He had no choice but to do so. Shea was really jealous of the huge benefits created by "Looking for the Midnight Kiss".

"Mr. Shay, don't be so anxious! I just want to think everything through."

"Please rest assured, no matter what the final result is, I will give you an answer."

Liu Jiang insisted that Qingshan would not let go and would not give him an accurate word.

Sheina was willing to give up so easily, and he repeatedly persuaded the other party.

After the two struggled for a while, no one could convince the other.

Why can’t this kid get enough oil and salt? Don’t you even make any money?

Xie Yi cursed secretly, with an uneasy expression on his face.

Although he was a little annoyed in his heart, he had huge interests in front of him and he didn't want to fall out with the other party, so he could only leave in anger.

Liu Jiang looked at Xie Yi's leaving figure and fell into deep thought.

It seems that this old boy is very optimistic about the sequel of "Looking for the Midnight Kiss"! Otherwise, he wouldn’t appear so eager!

To be honest, the other party's methods are a bit unsightly, and the purpose of creating a time difference is too obvious!
Why doesn’t this old boy have a better memory? You are fooling yourself into thinking you are a fool!

You still have to think carefully about the movie sequel and make a decision after weighing the pros and cons.

Whether it is co-production or selling the sequel production rights, there is only one principle, the highest bidder wins! It would be best if the overseas distribution rights could also be secured!
When Shay walked out of the center of the banquet hall, he caught a glimpse of Cate Blanchett and Jude Law standing not far away.

He forced a smile and nodded to the two of them.

Cate Blanchett and Jude Law smiled back at Shay.

"Did you just hear that? The sequel to "Looking for the Midnight Kiss" is being prepared. Do you still plan to participate in this sequel?"

After Shay walked away, Cate Blanchett asked softly to Jude Law beside her.

"I don't care. My agent has already received invitations to audition for many movies. You should be the same, right?"

Jude Law looked calm, raised the champagne in his hand, and took a sip.

"It's not bad! My agent didn't tell me the exact number of audition invitations I received."

Cate Blanchett didn't know whether the other party was telling the truth, so she could only give a vague response.

If given the choice, she would certainly prefer to participate in the sequel to "Looking for the Midnight Kiss", after all, this movie has been a huge success.

As long as they don't mess around, there's a good chance the movie's sequels will continue to be successful.

Just as the two were muttering, a tall figure suddenly walked towards General Liu.

"Hi, boxing champion, I'm Angelina Jolie, can I get to know you?"
