Chapter 832 Why do you think I called you here?
“Xiang and Musk are gone?”
As for Xiangyang, he left immediately and flew to Liverpool non-stop to watch today’s first ‘Christmas dinner’ Liverpool game.
Little John was extremely envious while waiting for his flight to New York at the Los Angeles Airport.
Movies are as popular as movies, and football is also as popular as football.
Is it the same as being in the stands at Anfield as Liverpool chairman?
No matter how lively the premiere is, it is not as loud as the tens of thousands of fans who support the home team, not to mention
how many viewers are waiting in front of the TV.
Anyway, it will definitely have more moviegoers than "Black Swan", that's for sure.
As a senior team supporter, Little John is quite aware of this.
Although he will accompany all the creators of the "Black Swan" crew to Liverpool in the next two days to do promotions and enjoy the game.
But what man doesn’t like the first time?
"Will Laura and little JoJo go then?" Liu Qianqian asked.
“Go, of course I’m going, I want to train my son from an early age.” Little John said proudly.
“You are not afraid of scaring him”
Liu Qianqian clicked her tongue.
She has experienced the hustle and bustle in the stadium firsthand.
Stamford Bridge, Workers' Stadium, and Anfield each have their own characteristics. Even watching the national football games has a different feeling.
Uh.
That’s really what a thousand people would point out.
No matter what she said, she would not appear in the stands with Mu Xin and Zhiyin at such a young age.
If you are frightened, you will be in trouble.
"Liu, should we go shopping while we still have some time?" Emma Stone on the side looked at the time.
There is still a little time before takeoff.
"Okay~" Liu Qianqian agreed without thinking. She asked Little John by the way: "Do you want to come together?"
"I" Little John subconsciously wanted to touch his pocket.
Last time, I was ripped off too hard.
There is a shadow in my heart.
“Don’t worry, I’m treating you~” Liu Qianqian seemed to know this.
As soon as she finished speaking, Little John had already stood up from the soft leather sofa.
The time for revenge has come.
However, what he didn't expect was that Liu Qianqian and Emma Stone did not even look at the luxury goods section in the airport, but went straight to the stores selling magazines and books.
"You are too stingy." Little John, who walked in side by side, couldn't help but muttered.
"I want to save some money."
Liu Qianqian smiled and didn't mind at all. She and Xiang Yang recently donated money and bought a castle, which cost a bit.
Even if you can make money, you can’t forget how you got there.
In order to buy the house in Shanghai, she spent all her wealth.
What's more, luxury goods
Don't say she doesn't lack them, even Emma Stone doesn't lack them.
"Well, that's true. Decorating the castle does cost a lot." In front of Xiangyang, Little John would never say that.
He picked up a book randomly from the best-selling recommendation and said that every little bit he can make is worth it.
"The flowers and green plants will need your help then." Liu Qianqian also picked up a book and said, "I took a look and there is a very big swimming pool."
"Don't worry, I've already thought about it." Little John promised.
Isn’t it just fishing a few pots of flowers from his father’s house? It’s not a big deal.
Can the old man stay at home every day without going out?
"Then you are more attentive than Xiang Yang." Seeing how concerned he was, Liu Qianqian said angrily.
Xiang Yang, I don’t know what I’m thinking about all day long.
When did she say she wanted to buy Mona.
Also Leonardo da Vinci.
Why don't you let her buy a few authentic paintings by Zhang Daqian or "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" to hang at home!
"Well, I really need to buy some oil paintings to decorate the interior." Little John gave Liu Qianqian a strange look.
This complaint feels like digging a hole for him.
Oil paintings, he can afford them.
But he can’t afford to give away the original!
Well, isn’t it Leonardo da Vinci?
"Liu, this is for you." Seeing "The Da Vinci Code" among the classic books, Little John pulled out a hardcover copy without saying anything.
Liu Qianqian was stunned for a moment, and then she realized what she was doing, and couldn't help but admire: "You are really good at fooling people."
While the two were chatting, Emma Stone also made her choice. Books to buy.
Looking at the Leonardo da Vinci that Little John gave to Liu Qianxi, she was shocked. Why didn't she think of this good idea?
"The Da Vinci Code" is also Leonardo da Vinci.
"Hehe, just give me the poster of your movie when the time comes." Liu Qianqian smiled reservedly.
"Have you started investing in posters too?"
"Well, not really." Liu Qianqian shook her head, she only collected what she liked.
Some of her favorites are.
""Metropolis"?" Little John frowned when he heard about this movie.
Not that it's ridiculously expensive.
Rather, Little John has seen it.
"Huh? Have you seen it?" At this time, Liu Qianqian was also shocked, and she couldn't help but slow down when she took out her wallet.
“Do you remember the movie that Chanel is going to participate in?” Little John coughed dryly.
The fact that Chanel is negotiating with Warner Bros. for "The Great Gatsby" is not a secret in Hollywood.
However, "The Sun" also made some arrangements about Xiangyang's recommendation of Carey Mulligan to Lafayette.
Having said that, Xiang Yang does have a handle.
It’s okay to hang out with Juan Fu and Dou Sen. Carey Mulligan is also British.
The arrangement is well-founded.
Not to mention.
Liu Qianqian also secretly glanced at Emma Stone.
"If you want it, I can help you buy it, and the price will definitely exceed your expectations." Little John quickly changed the topic. He did know that there was another poster for "Metropolis". Whose hands.
Little plum.
Although Chanel and Hermès are in a competitive relationship, fashion is a circle.
Since everyone was in the same circle, when the person in charge of Chanel's film department came to Hollywood to negotiate, he provided a little help.
At Leonardo's house, he had seen this poster.
“Can you really buy it?” Liu Qianqian didn’t believe it.
"When did I lie to you?"
The words that Little John blurted out made her feel even more confused. When these words came out of Xiangyang's mouth, they had the same tone.
No wonder they are good friends.
"Even if I don't have this face, Xiangyang still has it." Little John promised again, which made Liu Qianqian sweat.
Because every time Xiang Yang said this, he would bring Little John with him.
It’s just that he often says, “I’m not Little John.”
But in fact, both of them are quite unreasonable in some things, and some of their vows can be forgotten in the blink of an eye. .
Faced with her suspicion, Little John said with a wry smile: "Your Xiangyang is attractive even to Hollywood actors."
"I believe this." Emma Stone, who was silent, couldn't help but interjected. Xiangyang, what kind of existence are Hollywood actors like?
If you want to say that no matter what level of actor you are, you want to wear the costumes he prepared for the crew, that’s too much.
However, it is true that all actors who are looking forward to awards want to try movies in which Hermès Film Investment Company participates.
Hollywood actors, whether male or female, have a trajectory of development on this road.
Commercial films make money, and artistic films win awards.
What does it mean after winning the award?
Then he must continue to make commercial films and make money. At the same time, his income from endorsements is much higher.
So, in order to win awards, Hollywood actors are willing to try any film.
It is normal to pay a price.
In the past, Weinstein was the only option that many people had no choice about, but now there seems to be another way out.
To put it harshly, isn't it better to accompany a top luxury goods group and a rising executive in the fashion industry than to accompany a fat man with an unshaven beard and extremely greasy hair?
What’s more, Hermès Film Investment Company has nothing to say about its reputation.
Except for the occasional scandal compiled by newspapers, there really isn’t anything messy about it.
Even if it is true.
That's what actors need to make up their mind about.
"You have either been in Paris or in China recently." Seeing Liu Qianqian's confused look, Emma Stone, who was the first to reap the benefits, hugged her friend's shoulders with a smile and said with a smile:
“Do you know what is being spread among Hollywood actors now?”
“What is being spread?”
“The Hermès effect.” Emma Stone said this At this time, his eyes were shining.
These words were not made up by her out of thin air.
But after Andrew Garfield, who participated in the filming of "The Social Network", got the film contract of "The Amazing Spider-Man".
In the Hollywood actor circle, there is an even greater rush for movies invested and participated by Hermès Film Investment Company.
Anyone who can have something to do with this film investment company.
The development is not bad.
If you don’t believe it, take a look at Dou Sen and Juan Fu, who are closest to Xiang Yang, and decide whether it’s worth it!
Uh.
In the Hollywood circle, the reputation of the ‘gay group’ is also very loud.
As a young actor, Andrew Garfield is also included.
There are even rumors that Xiang Yang fell in love with him because Lafayette liked this young man.
Lafayette likes little fresh meat, Xiangyang likes handsome men.
This.
Hearing this name, Liu Qianqian's eyes lit up and she joked: "Why didn't you see him in "Black Swan" this time?"
"???" Emma Stone was stunned.
No, I am telling you something serious, how can you eat my melon?
"Tell me quickly, how far has it progressed." As she spoke, Liu Qianqian's little hand scratched Emma Stone's chin a few times.
“Not yet.”
Emma Stone said that this thing is not yet ripe.
"What, a third party is involved? Are you dazzled?" Liu Qianqian will not put down her spoon easily when she sees that she has something to eat.
However, she also felt sorry for Damien Chazelle.
The cooperation of three consecutive movies was lost to a young star. This is really... Ma Stone walked out of the bookstore, and Little John felt something was wrong.
The book money hasn’t been paid yet! ! !
"Sir, do you want any more of your books?" The shopping guide in charge of the cashier really couldn't hold it back.
She recognized Liu Qianxi and Emma Stone.
But little John
How can you, an assistant, be so busy getting things done?
Hurry up.
Tickets, passports.
“Hey, I’m exhausted.” With a sigh, Xiang Yang put down his pen and shook his neck from side to side to relax.
Although private jets are nice, they don’t have a spa.
At this time, even a blind massage to relax the shoulders and neck is more comfortable than the stewardess's attentive handing over a cup of coffee.
“Xiang, didn’t you sleep all the way?” Walking out of the cabin where he was resting, Musk was in high spirits.
He slept very comfortably.
Unlike Xiangyang, he went to sleep right after getting on the plane, so that he could maintain sufficient energy.
He also told Xiang Yang this.
Xiang Yang also understands this, but for Fashion Week
"Well, this outfit looks quite energetic." Xiang Yang took a sip of coffee, took a look and commented. .
"Haha, with you and Rang, I also want to improve my taste." Musk's private server has a good taste.
He is not like Zuckerberg, who wears thousands of T-shirts and still has to create a personality.
"I'm going to change clothes too. If you're going to have something to eat, tell Shaffer and ask her to help you arrange it." Xiangyang put down the cup, asked his assistant to help put away the manuscripts, and stood up.
As he stretched, his neck made a few crackling sounds.
It’s not that there’s something wrong with the cervical spine, it’s just that I keep my head down.
"Okay, you go ahead." Musk pursed his lips and smiled. He was not pretending to be polite to Xiangyang.
This trip to Liverpool is mainly for the sun.
Although he knew Jack Ma and Xiao Ma Ge, they had no business dealings with each other.
In this regard, Xiang Yang, who simply washed himself, said, "Who said there is no business dealings?"
Learn to create!
“You mean, let Uber cooperate with these two companies?” Musk was attracted by Xiang Yang’s proposal.
"Of course." Xiang Yang said with a smile after confirming his meal with the stewardess.
If this thing is done.
From now on, Uber will be affiliated with Alibaba on the left and Tencent on the right. No one can beat them!
Xiang Yang said it!
"How do you do it, tell me?" Musk thought that everyone was just meeting to get to know each other this time.
The main purpose of this trip is to serve as a wingman for Xiangyang’s next Internet investment in China.
Unexpectedly, there were also specific project collaborations that needed to be negotiated.
“Have you noticed that we tourists in China face a big dilemma when using Uber?”
Sitting down, Xiangyang started talking.
To say what the specific dilemma is, it’s much older.
Foreign countries are no better than China.
Moreover, not everyone knows English.
However, with the increase in income, more and more Chinese tourists choose to travel internationally during holidays.
Even if people who sign up for group tours are surprised, the attraction of independent travel for young people will gradually increase.
Then there is an important question.
Uber has completely ignored the existence of the Chinese market, not only in English, French, Spanish, German and other languages.
Chinese translation is actually simple.
The key is how to pay.
VISA, MasterCard, or cash?
Not to mention the United States, in Europe, Chinese tourists lose a lot of cash.
“You mean, transplant PayPal offline?”
This topic seems to have made Musk, the founder of PayPal, extremely interested. Although PayPal focuses on online payment services, he has left the company long ago.
But there is still concern.
The continuous development of the payment market and consumer demands will not change just because PayPal remains online.
“It’s not just PayPal.” The corners of Xiangyang’s mouth raised slightly.
I am a Chinese, why do I use PayPal?
Alipay and WeChat, aren’t they great?
