Before the filming was over, Li Rui greeted Jennifer and left first.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, in a suite at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles, Li Rui met Claire again.

Unlike the last party, there were only two of them this time, and even Stamp or the translator didn't need it.

There are some things that fewer people know, the safer they are.

Li Rui even doubted whether Claire's husband Frank knew about this meeting today?

When he saw Li Rui, Claire asked directly: "Do you want a drink?"

"Of course." Li Rui nodded.

Claire poured two glasses of red wine and handed it to Li Rui and said, "I am used to drinking a glass of wine before going to bed to help you sleep. But you are still young and you should not need to use alcohol to get a good sleep."

Li Rui said: "Although I am young, I also feel a lot of pressure and I can't fall asleep at some nights."

"Everyone has pressure." Claire sighed a little, "I want to say sorry to you for the last incident. I hope you can understand the pressure I face, and that doesn't mean I reject your kindness."

"I can understand very well. Frank's position is very sensitive, and he has to consider it more comprehensively. I am too reckless and will never make the same mistake again next time." Li Rui said.

Claire was obviously satisfied with Li Rui's attitude.

The two chatted for a few words before they got to the point of this meeting.

"I hope to make a documentary for the water purification program, with the woman named Tiala in the photo you bought, and hope to use her fate to awaken people's attention to clean water sources." Claire said.

Li Rui nodded: "It's a good idea."

"But the problem now is that we lack sufficient funds."

"How much do you need?" Li Rui asked.

Claire said: "Forty-hundred thousand magnesium."

This number is much less than Li Rui imagined.

The Beverly Hills mansion he bought has a combined annual property tax, maintenance fees, property management fees and salary of hiring staff totaling nearly three million magnesium, which is even more than 200,000 yuan per month.

.

In other words, the money that Claire could not solve even if he racked his brains, was only barely enough to cover the two-month expenses of Li Rui's luxury house.

The politicians in the country of Magnesium are really pitiful.

Seeing that Li Rui didn't say anything, Claire said: "You don't have to bear all of this money. I can also find someone else to solve some of it."

Li Rui smiled and said, "I was wondering what kind of name and channel to bear the money so that you and Frank would not feel embarrassed."

Claire nodded with praise and said, "Thank you so much."

Li Rui said: "Well, I will ask Lionsgate Film to take the initiative to find the Water Purification Plan, pay 200,000 magnesium in the name of buying the story, and cooperate with the Water Purification Plan to create this documentary, with all production and distribution costs

It is undertaken by Lionsgate Pictures and shared by both parties. What do you think of this plan?"

Claire was a little surprised.

Li Rui's plan not only solved the cost of filming documentaries, but also "donated" 200,000 magnesium to the water purification plan.

The plan seems to be a very normal film and television project cooperation. From a legal and moral perspective, it cannot be found in any way, and it will not affect Claire's charity or Underwood's party whip identity.

Li Rui is so considerate.

"Very good." Claire had no reason to object, "I really don't know how to thank you."

"If the lady must thank me, I have an idea." Li Rui said.

Claire narrowed his eyes.

Of course, Li Rui's help would not be free. Li Rui knew about this and Claire also knew about it, but she didn't expect Li Rui to make a request so quickly, which was a bit unexpected.

"It's still a little too tender." Claire's eyes gradually became cold, and some of the good feelings that had just emerged disappeared, and he thought secretly in his heart.

But Li Rui is still her financial backer. In order to continue filming the documentary, she still squeezed out a reluctant smile and said, "Oh, I'm very willing to listen."

Li Rui said: "I am in contact with a writer from the Eagle Country and hope to buy the copyright of one of his political satirical novels and adapt it into a TV series to broadcast it all over the world. Regarding the role settings, plot arrangements and some insider knowledge of the drama.

, I hope to get guidance from you and Frank.”

"Is this what you want to thank?" Claire was a little surprised, and then realized that he had misunderstood Li Rui.

Li Rui said: "This means a lot to me. Mrs. probably don't know that I acquired Blockbuster's online business and just restarted a while ago. This drama is the key to whether Blockbuster can regain the attention of audiences in the country and even the world.

I plan to invest 100 million magnesium in production fees for this. If you and Frank can give me some advice, it is really important to me!”

Claire said: "What novel is it?"

"Michael Dobbs' House of Cards," Li Ruidao.

Claire said in surprise: "I have read the first book and it was written very well!"

Michael Dobbs, the author of "House of Cards", was once an aide to the Prime Minister of the Eagle Kingdom. After his political frustration, he wrote this classic political satire novel, revealing and satirizing many political scandals.

In 2013, Netflix launched the series "House of Cards", which instantly became popular all over the world. It helped Netflix successfully surpass the traditional hbo TV network, with more than three million new users in just one quarter.

The total videos viewed by users exceed 4 billion hours.

In addition to attracting millions of new members and massive subscription fees, Netflix also used this TV series to change the pattern of Hollywood's content production and distribution, and since then, no one can stop him.

The advancement.

Of course, Li Rui would not let this happen again. On the one hand, he sent someone to contact Michael Dobbs and bought the TV series adaptation rights at a higher price than Netflix. On the other hand, he contacted his previous life through the relationship between Lionsgate Pictures.

David Finch, the key director who was able to achieve great success in "House of Cards", must think of this project.

It is uncertain whether "House of Cards" can be carried forward in Li Rui's hands, but he will definitely not fall into Netflix's hands again.

Li Rui said: "The original content of that book is about Eagle Kingdom. When adapting it, you need to put the background and content on Magnesium Kingdom. I think no one knows the politics of Magnesium Kingdom better than you and Frank, so I hope you can give some precious things.

Opinions.”

"No problem." Claire agreed to such a small thing.

After finalizing some details, Li Rui and Claire slid their glasses and wished them a happy cooperation, and then said goodbye to each other.

After leaving the Four Seasons Hotel, Li Rui went to have dinner with Jennifer in a hurry.

Knowing that Li Rui will be back to Huaguo soon, Jennifer cherishes every minute of getting along with him, and has countless words to say to Li Rui.

As the two were talking sweetly, a man suddenly came over and said, "Is you Mr. Li Rui from Blockbuster?"

Li Rui looked at the other party in surprise: "What are you?"
