Chapter 717 Found it
On the plane back to New York, Jiang Hao had been thinking about how to find the thief named Elmo.
police?
Forget it, maybe gangsters are much better than the police.
Jiang Hao suddenly thought of a person, Mike Corleone. Perhaps it was time to meet that godfather.
As soon as he got off the plane, Jiang Hao called Noodles and said, "Noodles, help me contact Mike Corleone and tell him that I have something to visit him."
Noodles was a little surprised. His boss had always been mysterious and would not easily come into contact with other gangs, but why did he take the initiative to contact Corleone, the chairman of the Mafia Committee this time?
"Okay boss, I'll call you right away." Noodles responded immediately.
Ten minutes later, Noodles called, "Boss, I contacted Mike Corleone, and Mr. Corleone invited you to be a guest at Corleone Manor."
"Send a car to pick me up. I'm at the New York Airport." Jiang Hao said.
Jiang Hao walked into the Corleone Manor. This place is not luxurious, perhaps more like an ordinary farm, but when you look at the flowers and plants and the tables and chairs in the courtyard, you will feel a warm feeling. Perhaps, this is home.
Feel.
When Jiang Hao and his godfather held hands together, both of them were a little surprised, because to be honest, the two of them did have a lot of similarities in appearance, and some people would definitely believe that they were brothers.
The two sat down and lit cigars respectively. When the cigars were lit, the two looked at each other again. For about 2 minutes, the two of them did not say a word.
"I asked the people in the Bernano family, and they said they didn't know you existed." Mike Corleone said the first sentence, frowning and looking at Jiang Hao, and speaking in Sicilian.
"This is why I don't use the surname Bernano. No one in the world knows my identity. The people who know have passed away. My name is Tony Stark now, an Italian-American immigrant, that's all."
Jiang Hao also said in Sicilian.
Mike Corleone looked Jiang Hao up and down and suddenly smiled, "Then why do you want to say it again?"
"Because my surname was indeed Bernardo, and I just hope not to conflict with my own people." Jiang Hao said.
Mike nodded, "Why are you looking for me this time?"
"Please do me a favor, I need to find a thief," Jiang Hao said, taking out the painting he drew from his wallet, and said, "His name is Elmo, he is a habitual thief and burglar, he killed people,
But a friend of mine was unjustly imprisoned, and I need to find him and prove my friend's innocence."
Mike Corleone did not expect Jiang Hao to come over and make such a request. He looked at the portrait carefully and said, "Which city and which neighborhood is he in?"
Jiang Hao shrugged and said helplessly: "That case happened in New York 10 years ago. I don't know where he is now."
"Oh, it's not easy to find."
"I know, so I came to you for help. I hope to use the power of the mafia across the country to help me find this person. Well, it will be limited to three months. If I can't find him, forget it. I will
Find another way to save my friend." Jiang Hao said.
"That friend of yours is very important to you?"
"No, he just wants to do it. He shouldn't bear the injustice, grow old in prison, and die with hatred in prison. In that case, his soul will not be redeemed," Jiang Hao said.
"Okay, leave the portrait here. I will have someone take a photo and send it to various places to find this person." Corleone agreed to Jiang Hao's request.
"Thank you very much, I owe you a favor." Jiang Hao stretched out his hand.
The godfather shook hands with Jiang Hao and said, "I suddenly have a feeling that I may have made a very profitable deal."
Jiang Hao smiled, "Believe me, it's definitely worth the money."
...
The distribution of the movie "Some Like It Hot" was once again handed over to Warner, and US$2 million was spent on promotion. Advertisements about "Some Like It Hot" were everywhere on TV and in newspapers.
"Raccoon Wars 1 and 2" has accumulated a lot of popularity for the director Jiang Hao. When people knew that this was still a drama and that the director would perform in the movie himself and that he was a cross-dresser, they immediately became very interested.
On the TV, there was a picture of Monroe wearing a glittering evening dress, with a long white mink shawl hanging to the ground, and her charming eyes looking over her. Her beauty moved all the men who saw this scene.
March 12th is a good day,
"Some Like It Hot" was officially released in major theaters, with more than 1,000 theaters. There was a very popular scene from the beginning, with countless people flocking to the theater to watch the movie, and this time, it was mostly young couples and adults.
The next day, numerous film reviews appeared in major newspapers.
"Director Jon Hall is definitely a comedy genius. He created the "Raccoon Wars" series, and now he has produced an excellent movie like "Some Like It Hot", which has undoubtedly made him one of the great directors in Hollywood.
"
"Wonderful story, smooth comedy, unexpected plot and neat, outstanding direction. Jon's acting is first-rate. He can compete with Jack Lemmon, the Oscar-winning supporting actor. Monroe is really a stunner. She is the raccoon.
She is just a young and beautiful woman, but in this movie, she shows her most sexy side. I believe she will become the goddess and the object of fantasy in the hearts of countless men."
""Some Like It Hot" is definitely the most classic comedy in Hollywood to date. It is worth entering the theater and spending two enjoyable hours."
"Perfect, I only have one comment which is perfect. The director, script, actors and everything are almost all in two words: "Perfect!"."
"This film review is specially written for 'Marilyn Monroe', who is sexy, beautiful, lively, and cheerful. There may be people who are sexier than her, but not as lively as her. There may be people who are cuter than her, but Marilyn Monroe is cheerful in her bones.
He Tianzhen can defeat all men, she is a well-deserved beauty, I believe that there will be a place for her in Hollywood in the future."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The praise from all aspects is very high, and it has played a very good publicity role. This has made more people walk into the cinema out of curiosity, but after watching the movie, some of them
Attracted by the plot of the movie, more men were attracted by Monroe. Monroe's name spread rapidly and she became one of the most popular women in the film industry.
During this period, her posters were the best-selling. As long as there was a picture of Monroe on the magazine cover, it would be bought immediately. Even if it was just some reports about Monroe that they had seen before, people would be willing to read it again.
Once again, just to get her latest color photo.
Monroe was really popular, so popular that she even surpassed the scope of "Some Like It Hot" and became a new public lover.
At this time, different voices came out. Some people said that director Jon Hall should not occupy Monroe. Monroe belongs to all American men and the whole world.
Jiang Hao sneered at this statement.
A group of guys who over-secret ketones and rush into their brains to become hydrocephalus, just pay and contribute to me, and the rest, go fuck yourself.
The first week's box office statistics exceeded 10 million US dollars and reached 13.5 million. This is an amazing number. The second week continued the hot trend and reached 12 million. The third and fourth weeks were 8.2 million and 8.2 million respectively.
6.8 million.
The box office that month reached an astonishing 40 million. This number is not reached by any Hollywood movie, but this number is still so dazzling. You know, the investment in this movie was only 4 million, and the box office revenue was still 10 times in the first month.
.
Even if the distribution is based on the current box office, Hall Film Company can still receive a share of about 14 million. Excluding the 4 million investment, it has already made a profit of 10 million.
Connor and Robert had some regrets. When Jiang Hao asked them to choose, they chose "Raccoon Wars 2", which was more promising. Although that movie also earned 40 million in the end and made the company a huge profit, "Some Like It Hot" also
The film produced by their company had no investment. They only made a profit from the shooting fee and let the money slip through their fingers. This is the biggest sin.
But thinking that the investor was their boss, the two of them could only grin. It seemed that the only loss was their own ten percent share, while the boss made more than before.
The two people made up their minds that as long as the next movie is shot by the boss himself, Hall Company must invest in it.
"Boss, there is good news. Warner settled the box office share of "Raccoon Wars 1" with us, and the total is 8.6 million U.S. dollars." Connor said with a smile.
"It's been half a year. If Warner doesn't settle the settlement for us, then I'm afraid there will be no need to cooperate in the future. Also, tell Warner that I hope the settlement will be faster in the future and can be settled in batches. We don't have to wait for the overseas box office to come back.
Wait for the overseas box office to conduct secondary settlement." Jiang Haodao.
Late settlement is naturally beneficial to Warner, but Jiang Hao doesn't like it. If you still use the same tactics to deal with small companies, then don't blame me for changing publishers. Now he has the confidence.
"I understand boss, I will talk to Warner." Connor said.
...
After finishing the company's affairs, on the way back, Jiang Hao found a roadside public phone and called Noodles. As soon as the call was connected, Noodles said: "Boss, there is a message from the Italians. You are looking for
