There are many tourists in Hollywood, and there are many attractions to visit.

Avenue of Stars, TCL China Cinema, Dolby Theater, Kodak Theater;

In addition, there are Universal Studios in the north, Hollywood and Highland Center...

Shi Shi and Shen Changlin left Legend and went straight to the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

By the way, Shi Shi won the lead role in "Godzilla" even though she didn't speak English...

It doesn't matter, she is one of the top actresses in the Chinese-speaking area, that's enough!

What's more, Shen Changlin's Changlin Film and Television invested one-third of the capital and was considered one of the investors. Of course, the profit was also one-third...

Thomas Tull also mentioned "The Great Wall", and Shen Changlin expressed little interest...

No matter how this movie is modified, it cannot get rid of the theme of white people savior. Broadly speaking, the Great Wall symbolizes the spirit of the Chinese nation. You want a white person to savior the world?

How outrageous!

As long as this core remains unchanged, it will be useless for anyone to direct it.

Thomas Tull did not continue the conversation. Anyway, the Chinese capitalists who were interested in "The Great Wall" were gone!

Shishi mentioned Legendary Pictures…

Seemingly very interested, Shen Changlin explained: "Legendary Pictures is actually a private equity fund that switched careers..."

"Private equity funds?"

"...Film production, especially A-level production, requires a lot of cash. Even Hollywood studios cannot afford it. It happened to be the rise of Wall Street investment funds at that time, and they hit it off..."

"Didn't you say that making movies is very risky?"

"They invest in more than 20 movies at a time, and generally lose more than half of them, but they always hit the big hits... The predecessor of Legendary Pictures was also such an investment fund, and it signed an investment agreement with Warner for 25 movies. …It’s a pity that during the 2008 financial crisis, a bunch of Wall Street funds went bankrupt…”

"Then how does the legend continue?"

"Thomas Tull invested in big productions from the beginning, and he invested in several of Nolan's movies... However, Warner changed its manager this year, Alan Hong resigned, and Legendary and Warner no longer cooperate. Therefore, "Ring of the Pacific" 》The publicity work is very poor..."

“But ‘Godzilla’ is still produced by Warner Bros.?”

"..."Godzilla" should be the last one. I heard that Legendary is cooperating with Universal..."

Indeed, Legend later independently produced "The Seventh Son: The Battle of the Demons" and "The Clash", both of which were handed over to Universal Distribution...

Of course, both films failed miserably at the box office.

But the jointly invested "Jurassic World" shines!

After a pause, Shen Changlin said: "He is a very shrewd businessman!"

He is indeed shrewd. He was obviously seeking to change hands for a Hollywood studio that had been in trouble for years, but he directed it as a lucky Chinese company to acquire a famous Hollywood studio...

…

Shen Changlin specially reserved a seat at the Musso Frank Steakhouse next to the Avenue of Stars. The two of them walked around the Avenue of Stars and then came to have dinner...

"I feel like American things are just like that..."

Shen Changlin smiled: "Do you know what the seat where we are sitting is called?"

Shi Shi was very curious: "What is it called?"

“Chaplin’s Chamber!”

Shen Changlin cut the steak and said: "This restaurant has a history of more than a hundred years. Chaplin often raced horses on Hollywood Boulevard with others, and the end point was this restaurant. The loser had to pay for it." Paying for each meal, he favored a window seat in the restaurant so that he could watch the horses. To this day, this seat is called the Chaplin Seat... Try it again!"

Shi Shi took another bite and nodded this time: "...it's okay."

"What we eat is not food, it's quality!"

"Shall we go back tomorrow?"

"...Go back, there's no point in staying here."

"Should we buy a house here?"

“…and then rent it out?”

"...I mean I come here to live here for a few months every year..."

"Los Angeles is not a place with beautiful scenery. If you want to buy a vacation cabin, we can go to Lijiang or Kunming to buy a villa..."

Shi Shi nodded: "Okay..."

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​buying a house here?"

"I heard them say that many domestic actors and directors have bought houses here..."

"Then do you know how they transferred the money?"

"How to transfer it? I'm also confused. I asked Xiaoxia to go to the bank to exchange it. I said it could only be 50,000 U.S. dollars at most, but I still had someone help me exchange it for 200,000 U.S. dollars from Xiangjiang..."

Shen Changlin smiled: "Through charity or some kind of sponsorship..."

Shi Shi curiously asked: "Sponsorship?"

Shen Changlin explained: "A certain film and television company remitted a huge sum of money to the account of an American society or chamber of commerce in the name of sponsorship, donation or investment, and then the money was used by a so-called event, such as a certain China-U.S. Festival, a certain The name of a certain project cooperation was "spent". The film and television company used the activity expense voucher to offset the money in China's accounts, and then the American company or chamber of commerce deposited the money into the account of the designated person and earned a certain percentage from it. The handling fee. As for whether these so-called activities exist? How big is the scale? No one can say!

This is the most commonly used method. In this way, film and television companies not only help launder money and evade taxes, but also establish a positive image of public figures through charity and public welfare."

"…Why are you telling me this?"

"Isn't this what you started?"

Shi Shi looked at Shen Changlin who had finished his steak, and suddenly said: "...let's go watch a movie!"

"...Sister, this is in the United States and there are no Chinese subtitles!"

"Then why are we going? It's a rare occasion..."

"Then let's go shopping?"

"good!"

…

Domestically, "Monsters University" and "Modern Times" were released on the same day, occupying a lot of the film schedule of "Beauty Within"...

But "Beauty Within" has great stamina. In the third week of its release, even though the enemies were looking around, it still took in a box office of 117 million. After 16 days of release, the cumulative box office was 404 million...

"Modern Times" is quite surprising. It stars Xu Zheng and the subject matter is a comedy. Whenever I think of the box office being so sluggish - it only took in 36 million in the first weekend!

It seems that Xu Guangtou's divine personality has not yet been condensed.

This is not the point, the point is Yang Xiaomi!

Sweeping away the weak film market caused by last year's "Wu-Tang", "Three Unwed Moms" and "The Missing Bullet".

Even being interviewed made me feel a lot happier.

The media interviews initially focused on the many stars participating...

Later, the focus was on Liu Shishi. After all, these two are now the most popular post-85s generation, and they co-starred in "Sword of Sword III" and "Left Ear"...

""Beauty Within" is about to surpass "I Am a Witness" at the box office. Is there anything you want to say?"

"...these two are not the same type."

"Do you have much personal contact with Shi Shi?"

"...It's okay, she is very busy, and I am also very busy, but we will get together when we have time...We are best friends!"

She knows what her fans want to hear…

"After Changlin Interactive Entertainment went public, Shi Shi's net worth skyrocketed. Did you congratulate her?"

"She doesn't care about this..."

"Then did you know that she received an offer from the Hollywood blockbuster "Godzilla"?"

Yang Xiaomi's expression remained unchanged: "...I really know this. She said it in the group yesterday and she successfully won the female lead role..."

"Then what do you think of female stars entering Hollywood?"

"...I think I'll just let it go. If a good role comes to me, I will take it, but the foundation of our career will always be in China..."

Enough, the last sentence is enough to make the title "Yang Xiaomi is dissatisfied with Liu Shishi's entry into Hollywood" or "sour grape psychology"...

Who wants to see the deep love between you two sisters?
