Chapter 60: Salted fish anger



   "They're here." Li Zitao was digesting the information, and Elan smiled and greeted Louis, who was approaching him, "Hi, Louis, how are you doing recently?"

   "Of course, my friend, it looks like you are younger than before." Louise laughed and embraced Elan, and then looked at Li Zitao beside him.

   "This is Li, and he put forward the idea of ​​the Avenue of Stars." Elan said quietly: "He is my nephew, a very good young man."

   "I am honored to meet you, Mr. Meyer." Li Zitao extended his hand with a smile.

   "I am equally happy, excellent young people." Louis said with a playful look.

   "Douglas, the president of the college, I think you all know him." Louis introduced the companions beside him. His handsome and handsome appearance is easy to get people's favor.

   "Robin Hood, nice to meet you." Of course, Li Zitao knew that Douglas Van Punk, who had watched Robin Hood starring in his previous life as a child, was very impressed.

   "Hello, Lee." Mr. Robin Hood responded.

   "Here, please let me prepare a reception room. This is not a good place to talk." Li Zitao, who is the master, took the lead to the reception room.

   "Mr. Mayer, I think Uncle Elan has already talked about the idea of ​​the stars, so I don't know what the school has in mind?" Li Zitao said first when the two parties were seated.

   "Lee, I want to hear what you think." Lewis leaned in his chair restrainedly.

   "I will invest 5 million dollars to set up the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, responsible for the construction of the Avenue of Stars. One starlight person will be selected each month, they may come from various industries,

  As long as the nature of his work is related to entertainment, we can all list him as a candidate, of course, who is the winner, this needs to be decided by the college. "

  He did not plan to compete with the college for power, but only wanted to have a certain influence in Hollywood. As long as the college recognizes the Starlight Award, then he is no longer without foundation in Hollywood.

   "Why didn't the college come to set up a chamber of commerce, and then you fund it, and we jointly manage and operate it?"

  When he heard that Li Zitao was going to contribute 5 million yuan, Louis's eyes were obviously bright.

   "So, Mr. Mayer, how much capital can the college invest?" Li Zitao's eyes flashed a little haze, leaning back quietly.

   "The influence of the academy is the greatest value, Li, isn't it?" Louis smiled extremely brilliantly.

   "Louis, we can all see the potential of the academy, but it is not worth so much now." Elan interjected, frowning.

   "Elland, the college's influence and potential will increase rapidly. It will redefine Hollywood. Isn't that enough?" Louis retorted.

  Looking at the aggressive Luis, whose eyes were full of poisonous wolves, Li Zitao knew that there was no need to talk any more.

   "I need to think about it, Mr. Meyer." He placed a eviction order against the two.

  When Louis Meyer and Robin Hood left, Li Zitao was sitting in a chair without getting up and sending him off, which meant that the two parties were unhappy.

   "Mahadi, patent registration for the Avenue of Stars, any ground facilities with commemorative and medal situations must be covered,

  Hollywood and other names with similar meanings are also squatting. Don't care about money. Be aware that the most important thing for your boss is money. I need time. "

   Mahathir has always been with him. When Li Zitao explained the Avenue of Stars to Elan, he also remembered it in his heart, and naturally knew where to pay attention.

   "I will call now." Mahathir said as he came to the phone and dialed the number of the Chicago Think Tank.

   "Louis became too arrogant." Elland looked at him apologetically and said: "Charlie, if Louis wants to embezzle your ideas, I will use all strength to stop him."

   "Uncle Elland, don't blame yourself. After all, not everyone in this world is called Rockefeller." Li Zitao gave a flat fare silently.

   I can see that Alan is very useful. He deeply admires the old John in his heart and has always been proud of Rockefeller's glory.

  Keeping promises and vigorously supporting philanthropy are exactly the two things the Rockefeller family is most proud of, at least they think so.

   "BOSS, I already sent someone to deal with it." Mahathir returned.

   "Well, I need you to stay here to do a few things, set up the Starlight Award, set up the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, and also meet with our honorary mayor to let him support the establishment of the Starlight Award,

  Contact actors, directors, and editors' associations. Hollywood needs more voices and choices. Tell them that I am willing to fund Hollywood's public facilities. "

  I didn’t believe Zhang Tufu, so I could only eat pigs with hair. The academy had just been established for 2 years, and the first academy award had just been held. Who said it was impossible to start a new game?

  Li Zitao hates Lewis's gaze, and the greed that he wants to occupy the world as his own makes him feel disgusted from the heart.

   "By the way, the news is out, the Starlight Award is a lifetime glory. The Chamber of Commerce will invest 10 million US dollars to form a foundation, responsible for independent operation and special maintenance of the existence of the Starlight Award."

  After listening to Li Zitao's instructions, Mahathir did not leave immediately, but instead suggested: "BOSS, if so, why don't we set up a brand new college?"

   Mahathir's suggestion made him stunned, but then came ecstasy, "Yes! Why can't I set up a brand new college, how about Oscar?"

  Li Zitao was stunned by his thoughts, but that was Oscar!

   "As long as people are convinced that it is fair and just and does not contain interests, who can say that it is impossible?" Mahathir smiled.

   "Oscar, how about a pure gold trophy?" The material of the previous generation of little gold figures was always spit out. The initial gold plating was okay, and later it was just a layer of paint.

  Some of the winners’ gold medals have been discolored for a long time, and they have to be repaired because of oxidation. Finally, you are embarrassed.

   "Well, it may be necessary to hand over the rights, but we can influence it from the dark through the Chamber of Commerce and the Foundation, which is not difficult to do."

  As the chief lawyer of the think tank, Mahathir did not find it difficult to do this. The influence of capital is everywhere. Who can say that the college is really fair and just?

  "Just like that, the Oscar Award, the image is a little gold man with a blurred face, holding up the torch, representing honor and freedom,

Best film, best script, best director, best performance, best photography, best artist, best music, best editing, best costume design, best makeup, best short film, best documentary, best Best foreign language film. "

   "Wait, and then set up the Free Honor Award, Special Achievement Award, etc., we want to make the Oscar trophy more meaningful and give it a lofty concept and status."

   "Bowl Theater, to acquire Bowl Theater, to build Hollywood's most luxurious and influential Oscar Star Theater, where it will become a star-studded hall for everyone."

  Li Zitao seemed to open his brainstorm and watched the two of you talk about how to overturn the college. Elan was stunned.

   "Charlie, it's just a small award, does it need such a big investment?" Elan asked with a frown, as he thought that such a huge investment was not cost-effective.

   "Uncle Elan, I am a humble person. When someone is arrogant in front of me, I will use the facts (banknotes) to tell him what is called due humility."

  Li Zitao's arrogant words and words, Alan could not laugh, but could only sigh in his heart, "Am I already old, can't keep up with the young people's thinking rhythm."

   "BOSS, I will do it now." After finalizing the plan, Mahathir hurried away with the team.

  Li Zitao can explain a lot of things. The establishment of theaters, chambers of commerce, foundations, awards, and the persuasion of many guilds and the government.

  He intends to use all his strength to give Louis a profound lesson, let him clearly understand what is the anger of salted fish.

   That night, Mahathir sent someone to register with the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, Starlight Foundation, Academy Awards, and let his staff choose the right office location.

Then he traveled to Los Angeles overnight, contacted the governor, senator, and mayor, donated 5 million public facilities, and maintained a foundation of 10 million. This is not a small achievement, and there is also the Star Walk of Fame, which can be named in history. Merits.

   The future development of Hollywood will be better. The more attention the Avenue of Stars receives, their names will be mentioned by more and more people. There are not many opportunities to be remembered.

   Moreover, although there are not many residents of Hollywood, the influence of stars is huge. They can call on more fans to vote for a politician they ‘love’.

So when the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce was established on Sunset Boulevard the next day, in addition to Li Zitao’s personal attendance at the opening ceremony, California Governor François Edward, Los Angeles Mayor Carl Madison, and California Senior Senator Claude Dick Silan.

   Of course, our honorary mayor of Hollywood, Galio Trafford.

   "The Oscar Awards will be made of pure gold trophy to give the winners the honor they deserve... Of course, these trophies are not allowed to be sold,

   The reason why we want to build with pure gold is not just considering the value of the trophy, but to allow the winners to retain this honor and commemoration in the long run..."

   On the day, the major media reported on it, Li Zitao and Galio stood side by side, UU reading www.uukanshu.com clasped hands with a bright smile of photos, occupying a third of the page.

In MGM’s office, Louis Meyer slammed the table with the hands of the newspaper and snarled fiercely: "Damn bastard, this is a provocation to the academy. He is provoking war. They are fighting Insult movies and arts with dirty money."

   "But I have to say that he is really rich." The Robin Hood opposite shrugged helplessly.

   "The people who told us not to contact them, otherwise the college will delist them." Louis said fiercely.

   "Louis, it's useless. They have already mobilized several major guilds and are negotiating the members of the jury. The first Oscar Awards will be opened on February 1, next year.

Best film, best script, best director, best performance, best photography, best artist, best music, best editing, best costume design, best makeup, best short film, best documentary, best Best foreign language film, own honorary award, special achievement award. "

   finished all the awards in one breath, Fan Punk gasped with breath: "Gosh! I'm about to suffocate, their awards are really enough."

  Compared to the Academy Awards for Best Film, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Photography, and Best Art Design, the Oscar award category is really too rich.

   Even with the addition of two special awards: Art Quality Award and Technical Effect Award, in terms of quantity, Oscar still outshines the Academy Award in terms of professional evaluation.

"FK, Douglas, don't forget who is your loyal person, I made you, and I can destroy you too." A roar of anger came from the office, and the staff outside quickly bowed their heads. , Run fast away from the battlefield.
