Shenhao's comfortable life

Chapter 534 The premiere of Iron Man (seeking subscription)
"Who is Lynn Reith?"

The matter on Twitter continued to ferment, and the reporters were naturally very concerned about the person's opinion on this matter, but when the reporters found Xiao Zhu who was shopping with Scarlett Johansson, he asked inexplicably .

That demeanor, that attitude, as if he really didn't know that Lynn Reith was spraying him on Twitter.

In fact, Xiao Zhu really didn't know who Lynn Ruisi was, and he only knew a little bit about what happened on Twitter through Jessica, but soon, he put it out of his mind Later, because he has more important things to do.

On the second day after the release of "The Hunger Games", Xiao Zhu met the creator of Marvel, Stan Lee. I don't think we have anything to talk about, you don't know what a superhero is, you're just a speculator of capital."

Different from all kinds of superheroes created by Stan Lee, he is such a stubborn old man in reality. This guy has a very bad impression of Xiao Zhu, so he shows it honestly.

Xiao Zhu almost couldn't help spending a high price to talk to the gold-level persuasion card, but considering Stan Lee's influence in the hearts of Marvel fans around the world, he still gave up the idea.

Extraordinary props below the diamond level are inherently at a disadvantage when facing such influential figures, and the effect they can exert is relatively weak. However, if Xiao Zhu completes the special task of "Sweeping America", he can consider using it. The "karma card" rewarded by the task directly reversed cause and effect, tampered with Stan Lee's life growth trajectory, and made him his loyal servant.But if that's the case, there's no need to waste this precious prop on Stan Lee.

So this meeting turned into a feast for the media. The two had a "cordial and friendly" meeting. In front of the reporter, Xiao Zhu said that Stan Lee is a genius with great imagination, but Stan Lee didn't say much. What, neither praised Xiao Zhu nor expressed his hostility towards Xiao Zhu.

Since then, on the one hand, Xiao Zhu maintained his "enthusiasm" for Marvel in a high-profile manner; About 2% of the shares of Warner Bros. Entertainment.

Don't underestimate this 2%, it cost Xiao Zhu about 2 million US dollars!The market value of Warner Bros. Entertainment is as high as more than 150 billion US dollars!Xiao Zhu is the acquirer, which means he must pay a premium.

This is still through Hugh Hefner's relationship. If Xiao Zhu was alone, he would never have even imagined getting a 2% stake. This is the power and shackles of the super group company. Even Wall Street has nothing to do with Warner Corporation. Not to mention Xiao Zhu.

But this 2% stake means that Xiao Zhu really knocked on the door of Warner Bros. Entertainment, and the subsequent talks with Warner Bros. became much easier. For example, Warner Bros. promised Xiao Zhu that they would cooperate with him in "The Hunger Games" " and other copyright development, the premise is that these copyrights can pass the review of relevant departments.

Xiao Zhu will not tell the other party that his fundamental purpose is actually their equity, and now it is just the beginning.

Leading Scarlett away from the siege of the reporters and back to the mansion in Beverly Hills smoothly, Xiao Zhu lay lazily on the chair, and Scarlett lay in his arms. I pestered Xiao Zhu almost every day. Fortunately, Imanka had been recognized by Rip because of her excellent performance in the acquisition of the "Los Angeles Times". She was transferred back to Rip Fund and got busy again. Otherwise, Xiao Zhu He even doubted whether he would be drained according to his strong physical fitness!

In the evening, I took Scarlett to eat at Mr. Zhou’s restaurant outside. Because of living here, Xiao Zhu often eats here recently. He gradually discovered that he gradually got used to this kind of Chinese food prepared for Western tastes. After getting up, and after eating, I was surprised to find that this was an interesting experience.

"Mr. Gretel, you are here."

The waiter Brewer smiled almost obsequiously at Xiao Zhu. He is an immigrant from Dubai, but he is not very rich. Working in Mr. Zhou’s restaurant can bring him a salary of about 1000 US dollars a week, while Xiao Zhu Every time he came to eat, he basically gave a tip of $100. In the past few days, the tip alone had already caught up with his salary, so his attitude towards Xiao Zhu naturally became like this.

"Today eat sweet and sour fish, and a plate of fried vegetables..."

Xiao Zhu’s dishes are all improved here, and they are all home-cooked dishes. The life of a rich man sometimes becomes monotonous and boring, even for Xiao Zhu in his previous life, such days also accounted for most of his life. .

"Honey, I heard you're buying Marvel?"

Sitting next to Xiao Zhu, Scarlett held his arm, and said softly, "Iron Man will be released tonight, what kind of evaluation do you think it will receive?"

Seemingly two unrelated questions, but as an insider, Scarlett naturally knows something. "Iron Man" is the beginning of a large series of Marvel comics. The value assessment of the company plays a vital role!
"Is 'Iron Man' coming out?"

Xiao Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then said to Scarlett abruptly: "Honey, I suggest you buy some Marvel Comics stocks now."

"Do you mean that Marvel can reap success?" Scarlett's eyes lit up, and then said: "Director Jon said before that he would shoot it into a big series, saying that a superhero character would play a supporting role in it." , I think playing a supporting role in a commercial film is always a bit nondescript, so I have been thinking about it, and now it seems that I should think about it."

Xiao Zhu asked pointedly, "What role?"

"Black Widow, have you heard of it?" Scarlett looked at Xiao Zhu expectantly.

Xiao Zhu smiled, nodded immediately and said: "Of course, she is a typical superheroine under Marvel, born in the Great Red Empire, trained as an agent since she was a child, and was transformed in the 'Red Room' , has undergone tremendous changes since childhood, not only has the speed of aging been delayed, but even has superhuman fighting ability, just like the deadly poisonous spider black widow!"

Scarlett smiled happily. She was proud of finding a boyfriend who understood the elements of movies. No matter how you look at it, Xiao Zhu is really perfect. She looked at Xiao Zhu expectantly and asked: "What do you recommend?"

"Of course it is involved!"

Xiao Zhu said without hesitation: "The filming of "The Hunger Games" series will start soon, it will accumulate a lot of experience and popularity for you, and it can also be the beginning of your becoming a female rights fighter, but "The Hunger Games" will definitely not be affected. The love of the main group in North America, I am referring to those men, so if you want to become a real superstar, you must participate in a series of commercial films with super big productions. Not only that, I feel that in the "Black Widow" series In terms of copyright, there is still value for further development, I will work on this aspect, and try to let you take advantage of the trend to shoot a large-scale commercial film with the theme of "Black Widow" after you play this role!"

"That's great, honey!"

Scarlett jumped on Xiao Zhu's body happily, and kissed him hard.

Xiao Zhu accepted it calmly, he even whispered something in Scarlett's ear, and then Scarlett hit him shyly, but she responded softly with a nasal voice, agreed to Xiao Zhu's request, and made a fuss. Xiao Zhu's heart was itching so much that he would drag Scarlett to do some embarrassing things after dinner.

But Scarlett wanted to watch "Iron Man", and Xiao Zhu would not force his wife to do it according to his will. He also thought that he seemed to be invited by Stan Lee, so he called Jessica. Call, within 5 minutes, a brand new Lincoln appeared in front of Xiao Zhu. This Lincoln was a new car just bought by the New Century Entertainment headquarters. I bought 5 of them in one go, and only spent 60 US dollars, which is really cheap.But in terms of ride comfort, it is more comfortable than the same type imported by Huaguo with a single price of up to 200 million.

The premiere of "Iron Man" is located at the Hollywood Theater in Los Angeles. Xiao Zhu just accepted Stan Lee's invitation. Generally, this kind of invitation is for saving face, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't come. So the crew didn't expect Xiao Zhu to come.

At the entrance of the Grand Theater, superstars appeared on the red carpet one by one, Tom Hanks, Nicole Kidman, Julia Roberts, etc., almost everything was there. "Iron Man" was produced by Marvel and distributed by Walt Disney. A big production like this, Hollywood stars big and small would naturally give them enough face.

When Xiao Zhu took Scarlet out of the car, he heard the sound of mountains roaring and tsunami outside, and these voices almost shouted the name of "Gwyneth" in unison.

Xiao Zhu thought about it for a long time but couldn't remember who the name was, until Scarlett beside her said softly: "Gwyneth is the heroine of "Iron Man", playing the role of Iron Man's secretary. Her name is Little Pepper, in fact, she is almost a co-executive of Stark Industries in the play, and the role is quite important, not just a vase..."

Scarlett's eyes flickered when she mentioned the name. In fact, she participated in the audition for "Iron Man" a year ago, and she was fighting for the role of "Little Pepper", but she was rejected inexplicably afterwards. I found out afterwards that I was replaced by Gwyneth. As early as 98, I won the 71st Oscar for Best Actress with "Shakespeare in Love". Jiali, Scarlett, who has always been competitive, will inevitably be a little bit dissatisfied with this.

At this time, the vehicle in front of Lincoln stopped, and a woman with a strong figure got out of the car. She was wearing a pink backless evening dress, and she looked very luxurious, and the atmosphere of the scene reached its peak. .

"Gwyneth! I love you!"

"Great, it's Gwyneth!"

"Gwyneth, can you stop and say a few words?"

Both the paparazzi and the fans cheered enthusiastically. Gwyneth stopped obediently and responded to the interviews of the reporters one by one.

"Let's go, we're getting off too."

Xiao Zhu didn’t react at all. When he came to the United States in his previous life, Gwyneth was already over 40 years old. Facing such an old woman, Xiao Zhu couldn’t possibly have any reaction, although even then, Gwyneth was quite capable. Charm.

He pulled Scarlett out of the car, as a man who often made headlines in the newspapers recently, someone recognized him soon.

"My God, it's Gretel Diao!"

"Mr. Gretel, is it true that you are trying to acquire Marvel Comics?"

"Mr. Garrett, why did you attend the premiere of "Iron Man"?"

A large number of reporters gathered around, even Gwyneth, the heroine of "Iron Man", was slightly inferior in this situation.

Xiao Zhu didn't open his mouth, but pulled Scarlett straight forward. Sometimes he was arrogant, just because that was when he could be arrogant, and being arrogant could bring him benefits, but now it was different, "Iron Man " will be released soon, and Marvel's market value will further increase. In this case, fools will continue to fuel the arrogance of Marvel comics.

"Mr. Gretel, please say a few words."

"Mr. Gretel..."

The atmosphere at the scene became more enthusiastic. The so-called unobtainable is the best. Xiao Zhu's accelerated departure caused a little commotion on the scene. Even the reporters in front of Gwyneth moved closer to Xiao Zhu. Go, try to get a sentence or two from Xiao Zhu.

Gwyneth frowned. As the heroine of "Iron Man", the crew specially arranged the premiere for her final appearance. This is almost the finale. Other stars, even if they haven't had time to walk the red carpet , would not appear at this time, "interrupting" her "interest", but unexpectedly, an accident happened at this time.

The other party is not from Hollywood, but an investor, a rich man.Gwyneth took a deep breath, admonishing herself secretly in her heart, telling herself not to care, and quickly stepped forward, walking forward.

But when she came to the entrance of the Hollywood Grand Theater, she still couldn't help but look back. In the crowd, Xiao Zhu and his female companion Scarlett were particularly dazzling.

"See? The woman next to that person seems to be appearing in the second part, playing the role of the superhero Black Widow."

A man appeared next to Gwyneth. He had a face that many people knew. Although he looked to be in his 40s, following the "law" of Hollywood men who get older and more attractive, this man was covered with A taste that belongs to a superstar.

"Peter, you're here too? It seems that Disney has really paid for it." Gwyneth raised her eyebrows and said, Brad Pitt is her ex-boyfriend, and Brad Pitt's ex-wife Jennifer-Anne Unlike Stone or Angelina Jolie, the two broke up amicably and have remained in touch to this day.

Thanks to the brave Shuijian Bao for the reward
