This top guy is crazy!

Chapter 347: "Chinese Picture", removed from shelves! Cheng Cheng in Sai Country
Meng Hai took a deep breath, put the phone to his ear, and said:

"Minister Li, I'm Meng Hai, you're looking for me?"

"Yes." An old and sincere male voice came from the phone. "Meng, I'm calling you this time because of something. The higher-ups have decided to remove Chinese Pictures from the shelves."

"What?" Meng Hai lost his composure instantly, and even lost his energy. He screamed out in shock, "Li Bu, how can this be? We have been working on Chinese Pictures for more than half a year, and have invested 1 billion yuan. How can you just take it off the shelves?! This shouldn't be allowed!"

On the phone, the voice became much heavier:

"It's not up to you to decide whether it should be published or not! This is a joint decision between us. Do you know how many people have complained about Chinese Pictures in the past few days?"

Meng Hai: "How much?"

"Seven million! There are millions more if the full count is not included!"

During this period, netizens have been complaining like crazy, and they will complain to any department that is related to it.

The people above are overwhelmed by the complaints from the public.

Deal with it, they can't handle it.

If they don't deal with it, the complaints will keep increasing and people will blame them for not taking action.

Tell me, where can they seek justice?
Meng Hai was also stunned when he heard the number of 700 million and the words Guo Wuyuan.

Why are there so many people against him?

700? !

Do they hate him so much?
The voice on the phone said, "I have already notified everyone and have requested that Chinese Pictures be removed from the shelves. This matter is over. Please write a self-criticism and I will help you turn things around. In short, you must learn your lesson this time."

Meng Hai couldn't hear what was said on the phone after that.

He just felt that everything in front of his eyes was dark and he couldn't even stand steadily.

It was not until he heard the secretary's scream that he realized that he had sat on the ground without knowing when.
-

Sai State, Xinxiang.

In the past few days, Cheng Cheng and Jiang Nan attended many high-end cocktail parties in Hollywood together. The parties were attended by important figures in the film and television industry, such as top directors, actors, singers, spokespersons for Jewish capital, and so on.

At the cocktail party, a well-known black star in Hollywood walked up to Jiang Nan.

Jiang Nan was wearing a luxurious black long skirt.

The upper part of the skirt is tight-fitting, with two straps gently wrapped around her slender and delicate neck, perfectly revealing her smooth collarbone and soft shoulders.

The lower body is like a blooming black rose, with a fluffy and layered skirt that spreads out elegantly.

She had jet-black hair, as smooth as satin, draped naturally over her shoulders, making her delicate face look even more three-dimensional, especially her plump red lips, which looked like a freshly picked red rose still covered with dew.

A pair of almond-shaped eyes, clearly black and white, sparkling with a moving luster.

The diamond earrings worn on her earlobes further highlight her nobility.

Even at a cocktail party where many beauties are competing for beauty, she is still the most beautiful pearl.

The black actor said to Jiang Nan with his signature charming smile:

"Oh, I have to admit that you are definitely the most beautiful Tianxia girl I have ever seen in my life. It's nice to meet you. Your performance in the movie is simply wonderful and amazing!"

As he said this, he naturally took a step forward and gave Jiang Nan a warm kiss on the cheek.

Jiang Nan deftly took a step back, stretched out his hand, and said;
"Thank you. I appreciate the compliment."

The black male star smiled, not embarrassed at all, and said:
"Oh, sorry, it seems you are not used to it, but I have to say that sooner or later you have to learn these things in Hollywood. This is a normal social etiquette."

He extended his hand generously.

Jiang Nan only touched his fingers for a few seconds before withdrawing his hand.

The black male star felt a little disappointed. It seemed that Jiang Nan was not as easy to win over as he had imagined.

If Jiang Nan accepts the cheek kiss, he will inadvertently make some physical contact. If the other party does not show disgust, he will gradually escalate his actions, from simple physical contact to inviting her to drink a glass of champagne, and then invite her to dance with him under the help of alcohol.

While dancing, you can do more actions, such as hugging her waist and talking in her ear.

This is the fastest way for a man and a woman to heat up a relationship.

When he leaves, he will invite the other person to spend a romantic night together.

She might not agree, but it doesn't matter, he will tell her:

This kind of thing is very normal in Hollywood. In Hollywood, you just need to let go of yourself and don't suppress your thoughts. I will make you feel comfortable, and I promise that no one will mention this matter again after tonight. In the morning, I will fry an egg, make a sandwich my mother taught me, and heat a cup of milk. You drink the hot milk, eat the delicious sandwich and leave, and I will only stay in the room and watch you leave. You will be safe, everything will be kept secret, and no one will find out about it. Just treat it as a wonderful experience.

Of course, he wouldn't do that at all, just tonight.

But the other party won’t know, right?
At least we have tonight first.

But unfortunately, the other party did not accept his kiss and was very wary of him.

But he was not discouraged. Perhaps he should first introduce what works he had acted in, brag about his status and connections in Hollywood, and attract the other party's interest.

But at this moment, he saw a Tianxia man who was taller than him walking towards him.

He recognized him; this was the rising Hollywood trendsetter, the director of "Resident Evil", Cheng Cheng.

The black star looked at the relationship between the two people in front of him with scrutiny.

Jiang Nan naturally hugged Cheng Cheng's arm and asked, "Chengzi, are you done with your conversation?"

Cheng Cheng shook his head: "No, I saw you chatting with someone, so I came over to see what was going on."

The black star immediately knew that he had chosen the wrong target.

Cheng Cheng looked the black man up and down and raised his chin:

"Why don't you introduce yourself? I'm a director, and I might ask you to play a role in the future if there's a chance."

"No, no." The black star immediately laughed, "I don't have much time recently."

After saying that, he slipped away.

Jiang Nan looked at Cheng Cheng with amusement: "Is it that serious? Why don't you just send him away? Why are you so overbearing?"

Cheng Cheng held Jiang Nan's hand and said, "How could I not know what he was thinking? Even if he wanted to, he couldn't think."

"Man." Jiang Nan glanced at Cheng Cheng but hummed a song in his heart.

Then, Cheng Cheng brought Jiang Nan to a group of top Hollywood figures and introduced him:
"Jiang Jiang, these are the major shareholders of Shilin Pictures and Ramon Pictures, Al Wood, Edwin Spencer, Jim Miles Wood, Spencer, Miles. This is my heroine, my good friend, and my partner."

Jiang Nan greeted them calmly, with a gentle and appropriate smile.

When it comes to social etiquette, she is indeed impeccable. After all, she is a real lady from a noble family and has received training in this area since childhood.

The major shareholders of Shilin Pictures and Ramon Pictures also looked at Jiang Nan in amazement.

No wonder this Tianxia actress has become popular all over the world, she is indeed charming, especially when viewed up close, she is more beautiful than many European and American actresses, with fair and delicate skin, just like the shock that Cheng Cheng gave them.

Then they moved to a private reception room.

Al Wood of Lion Pictures said:
"Okay, let's get straight to the point. We want to invest 30 million US dollars in your second film of Resident Evil. The prerequisite is that Miss Jiang will still be the heroine of the second film, and we want two important roles."

Jim Myers of Ramon Pictures also said:

"We can also offer 30 million US dollars, with the same conditions as Lion Forest Pictures, but with one additional requirement: we want to review the script in advance."

Obviously, they had discussed it in advance and had reached a consensus.

In fact, the box office of "Resident Evil" in Serbia is not high, with the highest single-day box office being only 1671 million US dollars.

You may have no idea about the box office, so let me give you some intuitive data.

"Deadpool vs. Wolverine" grossed $9618 million on its first day of release, and "Dune 2" grossed $3221 million on its first day of release.

Not to mention Avengers 4, which grossed $1.57 million on its first day of release!
So, in front of them, "Resident Evil" is just a movie with medium profitability.

However, they were attracted by Cheng Cheng and Jiang Nan's appeal in East Asian countries such as Neon, Peninsula, and Tianxia, ​​as well as the follow-up potential of the "Resident Evil" series.

Cheng Cheng shook his head: "You want to interfere with my casting and script for 30 million US dollars? This is impossible."

Al Wood of Lion Pictures and Jim Myers of Ramon Pictures looked at each other. This was obviously what they expected.

Al Wood said, "You should have agreed to this. Your "Resident Evil" has invisibly offended Dream Pictures and Universal Pictures. They conservatively estimate that they lost 100 million US dollars this time. They will definitely cause trouble for you. You need our protection."

Jim Myers said:

"That's right. No one knows what your future work will be like. Of course, we are willing to trust you, but we must invest prudently. This is responsible for both parties. You can just state your conditions..."

The two men sang in unison, one playing the good guy and the other playing the bad guy, and both persuaded Cheng Cheng to agree.

But Cheng Cheng didn't move at all.

In fact, he didn't really need the money.

He is not short of money and the company's financial situation is very healthy.

But in Hollywood, it is impossible to fight alone. He must deal with these big companies, but as for who to let sit at the table, this requires careful consideration.

Coming out of the reception room, Al Wood said:

"Director Cheng Cheng, I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible. Time waits for no one."

Jim Myers also said:
"Yes, our time is precious..."

Coming down from upstairs, Jiang Nan and Cheng Cheng ran into Li Pei again.

Li Pei asked anxiously:
"I just saw you going upstairs with the people from Lion Forest Pictures and Ramon Pictures. They made some demands, but you didn't agree to them, right?"

Cheng Cheng said: "I haven't agreed yet."

"Oh~", Li Pei breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Cheng glanced at him and asked, "Do you have a purpose?"

How to speak?
Li Pei couldn't stand Cheng Cheng's straightforward way of speaking, and said uncomfortably:
"In fact, Liansai Company is also interested in you."

Liansi is the Hollywood company where Li Pei works, and it is also one of the eight major film companies in Hollywood.

However, in the past decade, Liansai has gradually fallen behind, and the gap between it and other major film studios such as Dream Pictures, Universal Star Pictures, Lion Pictures, and Ramon Pictures has become increasingly larger.

This time, Li Pei was entrusted by the CEO of Liansai to brief Cheng Cheng.

Before, Li Pei didn't take Cheng Cheng seriously. He just regarded Cheng Cheng as a junior who came to the United States and didn't take him seriously.

But he didn't expect that "Resident Evil" would become a hit overnight, earning 27 billion yuan in global box office in four days, surpassing "Electric Man 3" to become the number one in the same period. It immediately caught the attention of major Hollywood film studios and became the target of their competition.

Li Pei also had to change his attitude towards Cheng Cheng and no longer regarded him as a junior, but as an equal.

Cheng Cheng: "What conditions did Liansai Company propose?"

Cheng Cheng thinks that Liansai Company is good. Although it is in decline now, it is suitable for acquisition.

Perhaps we can try to infiltrate the United States Corporation through "Resident Evil 2" and pave the way for its acquisition.

Li Pei had no idea what Cheng Cheng was thinking, and he kept introducing to Cheng Cheng the conditions offered by Liansai Company, as well as the benefits and prospects of cooperating with Liansai Company.

The cocktail party ended at 11 o'clock in the evening.

Cheng Cheng and Jiang Nan came to the garage, only to see a white bodyguard guarding Cheng Cheng's car. Jiang Nan was a little nervous, but Cheng Cheng held her hand and signaled that it was okay.

The white bodyguard came forward and handed a cell phone to Cheng Cheng.

"Sir, I think you'll be happy to take this call."

As he said that, he opened his clothes, revealing the pistol on his waist, and threatened: If you don't answer the phone, I'll beat you up~
Jiang Nan became even more nervous and his face turned pale.

Cheng Cheng sighed:
This is truly free America, with gunfights every day.

He took the phone and put it to his ear.

A male voice came from the other end, saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Cheng, for making you answer the phone in this way. Please forgive my impoliteness."

Cheng Cheng: "Who are you and what's the matter?"

The other side chuckled and said:
"Mr. Cheng, don't be anxious. I'm calling you just to introduce you to a party. This party is open to a few people. All the people who come to this party are top Hollywood figures, politicians working in the White House who can only be seen on TV, and wealthy people and old money on Wall Street, as well as people you would never imagine. At this party, you can enjoy the ultimate happiness on earth and realize everything you dare not imagine in your dreams. We can help you with anything you want. Or one day, you see a nice boy or girl on a poster, you just need to say a name, and then the next time you attend a party, you will see him/her in the queue. There is nothing you can't do here, only things you can't think of."
