Age of Dreams

The two days when Xiao Qi came to the United States were the days when "Iron Man 2" was released globally.

As the producer of "Iron Man 2", Friendship Studio naturally wanted to make a big splash, and held a grand premiere ceremony in a big theater in New York, hosted by David and Sam.

There was no way for little Taylor to go there, but as her good friends, Kasha and Anna accepted the invitation letter.

There are not many Hollywood stars who don't like to walk the red carpet. For a movie as sensational as "Iron Man 2", of course there are many stars who go there, and naturally there are more reporters waiting for it.

Thinking of showing their beauty under the spotlight, few beauties can resist.

So the two of them readily agreed, and then invited Xiao Qi to watch a movie together.

But with Xiao Qi's identity, it is naturally impossible to walk the red carpet with them. If the richest man in the world shows up in public, it will not take long for people to find out. This is not in line with Xiao Qi's low-key attitude.

But whether it was Taylor or Tang Mingxiang, they felt that Xiao Qi came to the United States and stayed at home all day long, which seemed too nerdy, and he should go out for a stroll.

This premiere is actually watching a movie. As long as he doesn't go to the red carpet and goes to the theater in advance to watch a movie with Kaisha and Anna, it can be regarded as a pastime.

So the two of them ordered Xiao Qi to be the driver to take Kaisha and Anna to the theater.

Xiao Qi himself doesn't care, he actually prefers to spend time with his wife and children, and doesn't like running around all day long, but since his wife is doing it for his own benefit, it's okay to go out to watch movies.

Even if he had seen "Iron Man 2" in his previous life, the "Iron Man 2" in this life is already different from the previous version. He also wanted to see how much new ideas he could produce with an extra budget of 30 million. .

You know, the box office of the original version of "Iron Man 2" was very unsatisfactory.

Now that there is finer polishing, I don't know if I can make more money.

After all, this is the pioneering work of Friendship Studio. If this project is done well, the future "Avengers" will be more confident to do it.

The weather today is pretty good. Although it gets dark early in winter, you can see the stars all over the sky when you drive out. It seems that the environment in New York is not as bad as the legend says.

Both Little Taylor and Tang Mingxiang knew about the car accident last time, so when they went out this time, there were still Ford Raptors leading the way and guards at the front and back, and it was only when Little Taylor's Maserati drove to the VIP area when they were approaching the theater.

In front of the special red carpet car road, Xiao Qi handed out the invitation cards for the two women, and then drove along the road for about a hundred meters to the corner of the red carpet at the entrance of the theater.

A few security guards in well-suited suits opened the car door at the back, and Kasha and Anna walked out lightly, and the reporters over there were immediately attacked by a burst of spotlights, lighting up Xiao Qi through the car window. It feels so shiny.

Although the two women are not first-line stars, but they are beautiful in themselves, and they came together, so they naturally attracted the attention of many people.

On the other side, there was also someone directing parking, signaling Xiao Qi to park the car at the designated spot.

After Xiao Qi stopped the car in a parking lot full of luxury cars, he calmly entered the theater from another direction.

Naturally, it is impossible for the premiere to be held in a small theater. This theater can accommodate more than 1,000 people, and it is impossible for all of them to be celebrities. There are also some ordinary people who bought tickets for the premiere at a high price. Without the treatment of celebrities, you have to enter through another ordinary door.

After entering, his position was quite good, right between Anna and Kai'Sa, as if he was the seat of a star.

This position is actually for little Taylor. David and Sam also know that little Taylor is pregnant with Xiao Qi's child again, but whether he comes or not is her business, and whether to give tickets is another matter, not to mention friendship work The major shareholder of the office is still Little Taylor.

Anna and Kai'Sa just chatted with those stars, and then walked quickly to their seats.

The two women had separated just now, but now they were walking quickly towards their seats from two different directions, but they bumped into each other again.

It's just that they had small thoughts in their hearts, so they didn't talk to each other at this time, they just looked at each other and smiled, and sat beside Xiao Qi respectively.

At this time, the movie has not yet started, and many people have already taken their seats one after another. Some ordinary people are looking at their favorite stars. Some people saw Anna and Kaisha sitting next to a young oriental young man, and murmured Hey, I don't know which rich Hua Guofu second generation got this seat at a high price.

After a while, it was 8:20 in the evening, and everyone who was supposed to come in came in, and David and Sam, who were dressed as successful people, sat in their seats.

Their position was right behind Xiao Qi, and they were a little surprised to see a man sitting between Kai'Sa and Anna, but when they sat down and took a closer look, they suddenly exclaimed.

"Qi Shao?"

The two of them used the standard Hua Guo dialect, so the people next to them naturally couldn't hear them clearly.

Xiao Qi didn't expect them to be sitting behind him, stood up and shook hands with them, then sat down with a smile, lowered his voice and said: "How is today, do you have confidence?"

"It's a lie to say that you have no confidence, but you can't be sure about how much confidence you have." David shrugged.

"But even if you don't make much money, participating in such a big production with an investment of more than 200 million US dollars is a very important experience in life. I feel very fulfilling." Sam was very excited, "Whether it is experience or Lesson learned, we will be busy with "Captain America" ​​and "The Avengers" soon, and it will definitely shock everyone even more."

"Shock is not important, the important thing is to make money." Xiao Qi emphasized.

"I said, Xiao Qi, you've become too vulgar now. You spend money and money all day long. Don't you women rely on money to chase you?" Another voice suddenly came from the side, slightly hoarse , but it was clearly a woman's voice.

Xiao Qi turned his head again, and it turned out that his sister Megan was sitting quietly next to David. Since Megan was wearing a black dress and was sitting there quietly, Xiao Qi didn't see her for a while. The time has come.

Xiao Qi has always admired this not-beautiful but very persistent literary young woman, but her mouth is too poisonous, every time she doesn't scold Xiao Qi for a while, she seems unhappy.

"Hehe, Megan, you are here too! Seeing that you look very good, you must be in a happy mood! I haven't congratulated you yet, you have won so many big awards in "The King's Speech"!" Xiao Qi hurried patting her ass flatteringly.

"That's because I was lucky enough to come across such a good script." Megan switched positions with her brother first, and then said very reservedly, "But I didn't disappoint your investment, did I? Not only did I get my money back, And put your little lover on the nomination list for Best Supporting Actress at the Oscars."

Because of the three super awards of Oscar for Best Actor, Best Director and Best Picture, "The King's Speech" has been shown for a very long time in North America, and it is even more popular in Europe, and various copyrights are selling well , So the 80 million US dollars invested by Xiao Qi has not only returned all of the capital, but also made a profit of more than 10 million, which is considered a good return.

Xiao Qi always felt that there was something in this girl's words, but at this moment he had to continue, so he could only chuckle and say, "Is there any concern for you, Megan, to take action?"

"That would be the best." Megan nodded, and pulled out a stack of papers from her bag, "This is a new script I found, you can go back and have a look, if you don't have any comments, just call in the start-up funds .”

"Oh... oh?"

Xiao Qi's hand stopped in mid-air, "Miss, why am I putting money in again? No, isn't your brother sitting there? He has money! It's still a family, regardless of each other!"

Seeing this, David quickly turned his head to the side, as if he didn't know Xiao Qi and Megan.

Sam also had a headache looking at it, so he simply closed his eyes and rested his mind, acting as an invisible person.

"Because you are richer than him, so if I don't look for you, who will I look for?" Megan said as a matter of course, "Don't worry, this time the script is not worse than "The King's Speech", and I have also found the director. It is your country. Oh people."

"Who? What is the film?"

"Director Ang Lee, the film is adapted from the novel "Life of Pi". The script is very well written. It is definitely a good deal for you to invest in this film." Megan said eagerly: "As long as you give I am 200 million, and I promise to earn you at least 100 million dollars back!"

Xiao Qi was speechless for a while, "Miss, am I printing money? "Iron Man 2" is only an investment of more than 200 million U.S. dollars. You are not a big movie, and you can spend so much? Are you bullying me for not knowing movies? "

"If we want to do it, we must do our best, otherwise, what are we going to do to make a movie?" Megan said without guilt, "How about it? You invest in me, and I will help you promote a few Huaguo actors, and you put another small It's okay for Qing'er to come over."

"Blow it!"

Xiao Qi mercilessly exposed her, "In the whole movie, only the little boy 'Pai' and the Bengal tiger are the protagonists, and the rest of the supporting roles are simply dispensable!"

"Hey, have you read the book?" Megan patted Xiao Qi's arm, "That's just right, you should know how good this novel is, right? You can't justify it if you don't invest in such a good change movie!"

Xiao Qi suddenly felt that reasoning with Meghan was useless at all.

Unless she is willing to take the money, this girl must be a stalker, no matter what the reasons are, she can't stop her enthusiasm for taking money to make movies! (~^~)
