San Francisco International Airport in early July.
As soon as the plane landed, Lu Fei separated from Larry Page, Schmidt and the others and went straight to the Gold Coast mansion.
The butler opened the door and spoke with a strong Cockney accent.
That's an authentic thing!
Lu Fei walked up to the master bedroom on the second floor and saw Zeng Li holding her face in her hands, staring at Lu Xia in the crib with a happy smile.
"Coming."
She made a silent gesture: "I just fell asleep."
Lu Fei stepped forward gently and watched the fat eldest princess sleeping soundly. He looked and laughed for as long as he could.
"Are you the only one? Where are your elder brother and sister-in-law?"
Zeng Li turned to look at the empty door.
"They go straight to Las Vegas."
Lu Fei looked sideways: "Where are our parents, Xiao Yu?"
"Xiao Yu and my dad have already picked up my mom and are going directly to Las Vegas." Zeng Li joked, "Hai Lu told me that your confession ceremony for Yuanyuan was very grand and romantic..."
"Senior sister, yours is the same, or even better. If you don't believe it, you will know it when you get to Las Vegas."
Lu Fei smiled and squeezed her hand.
The Empress of the East Palace has it, and of course the Empress of the West Palace also has it.
Based on the relationship between the two of them, the easiest way is to go through a formality, spend some money, and buy a low-key, luxurious and secretive wedding in Las Vegas. Except for the family members of both parties who know about it,
There are no other irrelevant people.
But in fact, without any legal protection, it is nothing more than a witness, and the marriage certificate cannot even be certified by the coast.
Of course, there are also complex ways to play.
The prerequisite is that Zeng Li must first transfer to Xiangjiang household registration.
The blessing of being together is not so easy to enjoy.
"You are really being advantaged!"
Zeng Li poked his forehead and chose the simplest option, as long as she waited until the announcement of the movie was over.
Lu Fei knew that nothing he said was redundant, so he kissed her.
After a while, Zeng Li leaned in his arms and looked at Lu Xia with many emotions. "It is really rare for a woman to meet a man who lives up to her life."
"Senior, you know me."
Lu Fei touched the other person's silky hair and said, "I hope you can still be by my side when I am old and yellow."
"This seems to be the right thing for me to say!"
Zeng Li glared angrily, "I'm so much older than you, and if you want me to be old, I should come first. Don't you mind..."
"Hey, the female junior is holding a gold brick."
Lu Fei hugged her: "The seventh girl hugs Jinshan!"
Just when he was about to do something wrong, a slight movement seemed to startle Lu Xia. His eyelids fluttered, as if he was sleeping but not asleep, and he seemed to be awake but not awake.
"Shh!"
Zeng Li patiently coaxed her daughter to sleep for a while, then pulled Lu Fei to the second bedroom, where she stayed with her.
"Senior, has "Inception" been filmed?"
Lu Fei put his arm around her tight waist.
Zeng Li nodded, "I have learned a lot this time."
"What knowledge? Did you find that Leonardo is not as handsome as me?" Lu Fei joked and acted recklessly.
"Pfft, handsome, I really didn't notice it!"
Zeng Li smiled brightly and said that she was deeply impressed by the special effects of "Inception", especially the explosion scene in a coffee shop. The real air cannon and post-production special effects almost accidentally injured her and Leon. Nadeau, unimaginable.
"Nolan loves physical special effects. The Batman trilogy is all about this. Don't worry, we're not bad either. Let's follow up now."
Lu Fei said: ""Source Code" also requires physical effects. Once the preliminary preparations are completed, you can join the team immediately."
"I'm just afraid I won't be able to schedule."
Zeng Li made a rough calculation. When all the busy work here is over, she will return to China to cooperate with the release of "The Wind".
She looked at the wall separating her from Lu Xia, "A Fei, I want to slow down the pace of filming in the future. Either take a break or spend more time with Xia Xia. When I see her, I don't want to work hard anymore. I want to hear her call me 'Mom'."
"Okay, I'll take care of you, as long as you are happy."
Lu Fei's lips curled up.
Zeng Li felt his caress and suddenly thought of something before she was addicted, "I almost forgot, I also invited someone to the premiere."
"Who?"
"Sissi, this one doesn't work, please change it to another one."
Liu Xiaoli pointed at Liu Yifei who was changing clothes.
"Mom, this is the last one."
Liu Yifei looked down at the outdated dress and sighed, "We can't borrow the latest season's haute couture."
"Alas~"
Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but sigh, the tea will be cold after people leave.
In China, in the past, if there was any high-end brand that my daughter could not borrow, everyone would rush to offer it.
When I think about the situation I've been through in Hollywood these past two years, let alone starring roles, I can't even get a supporting role, and I've never been able to film.
It's equivalent to wasting two years in vain.
She gritted her teeth in anger: "What William Morris! What the world's second-largest talent agency! It's not as good as Han and Tang Dynasties! They let Zeng Li and Leonardo play Nolan's scenes, but we Sissi..."
"Mom, don't say that."
Liu Yifei frowned: "Thanks to Sister Zeng Li for helping me, otherwise I wouldn't be qualified to attend the premiere of Iron Man."
"Yes, yes, we want to thank you."
Liu Xiaoli reminded: "And Sissi, we must cherish this opportunity. It is best to meet Mr. Lu and ask him for help, even if it is a supporting role in "Twilight"..."
"Mom, what are you thinking? There are Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, and Jing Tian in his company. Why would Hao Duanduan give the role to me instead of them?" Liu Yifei said with a trace of helplessness in his tone.
"It's all my fault for being confused. It was mom who hurt you."
Liu Xiaoli was filled with regret.
I wanted to use "The King of Kung Fu" as a springboard to hit Hollywood, but I didn't hesitate to offend Hua Yi and provoke the big and small kings to issue a banning order.
As a result, there was no chance of success.
Neither advance nor retreat, a dilemma.
If I had known earlier, it would be better to switch to the Han and Tang Dynasties while he was at the height of his fame. He was also the number one person after Zeng Li. Even if his resources were not as good as those of Yang Mi and other direct descendants, they were not much different.
"Mom, don't say that."
Liu Yifei's eyes turned red, "I don't ask him to give me many scenes, I just want him to help me return to the mainland smoothly to film."
"Just one word from Mr. Lu."
Liu Xiaoli's eyes flickered, "With just one word, Hua Yi wouldn't dare to offend him, for fear that he wouldn't even be able to see him. If that's the case, Sissi might just have to say goodbye to Hong Kong."
"Mom! What did you say!"
Liu Yifei shook his head and laughed: "He has never dealt with the Hong Kong community, how can we go to the opposite side of him?"
"I'm not impatient."
Liu Xiaoli suddenly realized that she had made a mistake again.
Liu Yifei looked at himself in the mirror and felt sorry for himself.
……………
The premiere of "Iron Man 2" was in full swing at the Los Angeles Studios. Marvel fans who were blocked by guardrails and security shouted and unleashed their inner fanaticism.
"Stan Lee!"
"Donny! Donny!"
With Robert Downey Jr., Zeng Li, Scarlett and other leading creators attending the event in their finest costumes, the audience suddenly fell into a frenzy.
Liu Yifei was also among those attending.
But the media, either with a mission or for the sake of money, would not let the camera stay on her for any longer.
Just as she entered the scene alone, there was a commotion behind her.
A luxury car steals everyone's attention.
The sponsor’s dad makes a grand appearance.
The moment Lu Fei appeared, no matter who the movie fans were, whether they were fans or not, they all screamed out Lu Fei's name.
The popularity is actually higher than that of the leading actors!
Lu Fei waved his hand and walked onto the red carpet.
The host was very courageous and blocked him in the interview area. The New York Times was the first to take the lead among the media who were standing across from him. After the reporter introduced himself, he immediately asked questions:
"Lu, why did you come to the premiere?"
"Is it because of the pressure that Apple's iPhone 4 has put on you that you need to borrow 'Iron Man' again to cheer up Logic Phone?"
"Wrong, just the opposite!"
Lu Fei directly retorted: "It is precisely because there is no pressure that I have time to watch a movie. I want to thank Steve Jobs for giving me a holiday. iPhone 4 convinced me that the logic X3 we released this year will be the best smartphone in the world." machine."
"But many people and the media have commented that 'iPhone 4 is the best and most perfect mobile phone'. Can you tell us specifically what aspects of LogicX3 are more perfect, such as a three-axis gyroscope?"
The Wall Street Journal reporter asked.
"The answer is in "Iron Man 2". There will be ideas about future logic phones in the movie. You can find it as long as you have the patience to watch it." Lu Fei raised the corner of his mouth, "iPhone 4 is only Apple's best mobile phone, but at present , nor globally.”
The questions always revolved around "logic and Apple", none of which were related to movies. After asking for a long time, Lu Fei stopped and said:
"OK, I don't want to say too many harsh words in front of you. Steve has just recovered from a serious illness. I'm afraid I might hurt him accidentally."
"Let's change the subject and talk about movies."
"Lu, are you bidding with Disney for Marvel?" a reporter from "The Hollywood Reporter" popped up.
"To be precise, we are planning to cooperate with Marvel on more movies. As for whether to acquire it or not, although Marvel has lost money on "Captain America" and "Hulk", if there is an opportunity, which Hollywood company will refuse it? As for such an opportunity, the key depends on whether Marvel is willing to sell it?"
Lu Fei's answers were flawless. Seeing that no useful information could be extracted from him, the media ended the question angrily.
Walking to the entrance of the theater, I shook hands with Zeng Li, Robert Downey Jr., Ivanka and others who were all dressed up.
It was the sexy Scarlett's turn, showing an ambiguous smile and scratching the palm of his hand a few times calmly.
Bichi!
Ivanka saw this and cursed in her heart, then pretended to be unintentional and stood between them, "Let's go in."
As he said that, he and Zeng Li occupied Lu Fei's arms, one on the left and one on the right, without giving Scarlett any chance.
"You two know each other?"
Zeng Li smiled lightly and twisted his arm.
"Hiss~"
Lu Fei curled his lips and said, "I don't know her. She and I are like two parallel lines, with no intersection at all."
"You want to get to know each other so much?"
Ivanka smiled and said, "Do you want my help?"
I don’t care about her bath water!
Lu Fei leaned his head over and whispered softly: "You underestimate me too much! Do I still need your help for the woman I like?"
"Sauri, maybe I was wrong. No, I must have made a mistake. I shouldn't have let this woman become a black spider in the first place."
Ivanka made up her mind.
As long as she takes control of Hantang's North American business, Black Spider's independent superhero movie will not even be considered.
"What about Marvel?"
Lu Fei asked: "What is Perlmutter's opinion?"
"It's not going very well. Iger seems to be determined to win Marvel, and Disney's offer is not low."
Ivanka walked into the cinema with them.
Although Hantang acquired Summit Entertainment, which added distribution capabilities, and has 10 superhero IPs such as Iron Man and the "Twilight" series, its valuation has risen to more than three billion US dollars, but compared with Disney, it is like The difference between a hungry wolf and an elephant.
Fortunately, Disney is too strong.
Marvel's top priority is the autonomy of projects. One of the conditions offered by Han and Tang Dynasties is a certain right to intervene. Unless it seriously threatens Disney's finances, it will forcefully take control.
The rest of the time, Marvel makes its own decisions.
"What about the price?"
Lu Fei sat down and crossed his legs.
"Our quotation is 4.35 billion, and Disney is almost at the same price. Otherwise, Marvel would not have hesitated for so long. A movie of the magnitude of 'Marvel Universe' would require at least several billion to produce one or two movies per year." Only a beautiful knife will do.”
Ivanka lowered her voice.
"If Marvel still doesn't agree to a price that exceeds this price, then there is no need to continue the negotiation." Lu Fei touched his chin.
"you sure?"
"I am sure!"
"But our 'Avengers' plan..."
"Even without Marvel, 'Avengers' can still be filmed. We have more than a dozen IPs. The worst we can do is buy the rights to adapt superheroes from Marvel. If Marvel refuses to sell, we will find Sony, Fox and others." Cooperation with Super-English IP.”
Lu Fei disagreed.
If you can make money by filming the Marvel Universe, just do it. If you can't make it, just drop it. It's not a short amount of money. Anyway, it will be used as an alternative advertising film for your own Logic, Penguin, and Feigou.
"Without the Marvel Universe, how can we challenge the Big Six in Hollywood? This is different from what you said before you roped me in."
Ivanka rolled her eyes.
"Why did you commit the stupid disease inherited in your family again?"
Lu Fei was merciless and said, "There is no Marvel, but we have more than 4 billion. With this money, what movies can't be made? Don't Penguin International website have enough movies like " Can it be adapted like "Twilight"?"
"have."
Ivanka opened her mouth, "Fifty Shades of Grey," "The Hunger Games," "The Maze Runner"..."
"This is the end."
Lu Fei leaned back and leaned on the back of his chair.
Penguin's international online writing website has a high e-book manuscript fee ratio and generous copyright fees. More and more writers from all over the world, especially from Europe and the United States, are writing on it.
As long as Netflix transforms into streaming media, it can cooperate with Hantang and Penguin to cover copyright, production, and channels.
Whether domestic or foreign.
In its previous life, Netflix lacked strong production capabilities. Although it had blockbusters like "House of Cards", it did not have the stability to continue to produce blockbuster hits. The only shortfall was Penguin and Han and Tang.
Don’t worry about Netflix being disobedient.
The holding share of Trisolaris Fund has reached 9.04%, second only to Vanguard and slightly higher than BlackRock’s second largest shareholder.
"But Marvel has more than 5,000 superheroes."
Ivanka pouted.
"Even without Marvel, believe it or not, Han Tang is still the one with the greatest hope of becoming the seventh most powerful in Hollywood, and I can still make you the most powerful woman in Hollywood."
Lu Fei glared.
"It should be the second one. Isn't the first one the 'Gao' above me who I've only met a few times?"
Ivanka's tone was sour.
While he was talking, the theater was filled with people.
Most of the people who came to the premiere were industry insiders, especially the leaders of first- and second-tier film industries, and almost sat around them.
Even Disney, even if Iger didn't come, sent his deputy, not so much to help the movie, but to spy on the enemy.
"That's the CEO of Warner, Jeff Bewkes, who I've seen in the magazine, and there's Brad Gray."
"Universal, no, CEO of Paramount."
"Those two strangers, who are they?"
Liu Xiaoli was very curious.
"Marvel Studios' Perlmutter and Kevin Feige are rumored in Hollywood to acquire Marvel."
Liu Yifei looked at the big bosses who were unattainable in their eyes, and greeted Lu Fei politely one by one. His eyes were full of passion, and he held the dress tightly with both hands.
