Hello, 1983

The North American film market can be roughly divided into three aspects: the production side, such as small film companies such as the current Hurricane Film and Television.

The second is the issuer, and the third is those theater chains. The operation of the entire industry has been marketized and standardized.

It's like a commodity, produced in a factory, given to distributors, and then retailed.

Of course, some big film companies also have their own distribution companies.

After listening to the gambling contract proposed by Liu Qingshan, the representatives were all stunned: How is it possible for a box office of 100 million?

With the current size of Hurricane Film and Television, it is possible to produce a movie with a box office of tens of millions.

100 million, go dream.

These few are almost vying for this opportunity.

But thinking that there is still a bet of 10 million, they all calmed down.

In case, if Hurricane Company really did a big production with a box office of over 100 million, then their small size could not afford this kind of loss.

The few people who came here today are not even senior executives in the company, they are at most scumbags, and they do not have the right to make decisions.

Mr. Mountain, can we make a phone call? the bald man named Chris asked first.

Liu Qingshan made a gesture of invitation. He believed that there must be a company that would take the bait.

Even if they were asked to pay 10 million, but if the box office is over 100 million, the distribution company will get a share far beyond this figure, so it is not a loss.

And there is also a free film, how can they share the box office of hundreds of thousands.

Chris was the first to return to the office with a happy face: Mr. Mountain, our innovative acting agency is willing to accept your proposal.

Liu Qingshan was also a little surprised. He didn't expect this bald head to be the representative of CAA.

Creative Performing Arts Agency, or CAA for short, is the largest entertainment agency in the United States in this era.

Well-known Hollywood movie stars, famous singers in North America, and even sports stars, etc., are all contracted artists of this company.

CAA is not only a brokerage company, but provides a full range of services. Take movies as an example, from script to shooting, to review and release, they can provide one-stop service.

For example, a wealthy and wealthy businessman is very busy,

Take out a few million dollars and want to make a movie.

Well, as long as you pay, you don't need to worry about the rest, and you will definitely be able to see the movie you want in the theater.

But the final effect and box office can only be haha, no one can guarantee this.

But Mr. Mountain, the president of the company, Mr. Ovitz, would like to have an interview with you. Chris added.

This kind of agreement, the money and interests involved, is indeed not something he can lead.

Liu Qingshan nodded: Then make an appointment.

On the day before New Year's Day, a piece of news appeared in Los Angeles newspapers: The talented musician, the youngest investor on Wall Street, has officially entered Hollywood.

In the news, he talked about the bet between Mr. Mountain and CAA, and the very eye-catching 10 million and 100 million.

Afterwards, many newspapers began to follow up. Perhaps it was Mr. Mountain's sudden wealth, which inspired people's hatred of the rich, so the media turned out to be ridiculed.

It's nice to say anything about being carried away by victory.

Some people say that Mountain is self-defeating, some say that he is self-inflated, and one media even advises Mr. Mountain: hurry up and return to the music circle.

There was a lot of uproar for a while.

This also led to the film Dolphin Girl, which earned more than five million US dollars at the box office after its release.

This is also called CAA making a fortune. I have to say that Mr. Ovitz really has a hand in marketing.

In terms of hurricane film and television, it is not all fruitless. The youth musical Dolphin Girl is still loved by some young people, and Maria has also won the title of her own: Dolphin Queen.

Taking advantage of this hot opportunity, Hurricane Film and Television Chambers also launched an audition: it began to look for child stars across the country to star in the film with a box office of over 100 million.

As soon as the news came out, Mr. Mountain was criticized by the media again and again. Fortunately, Liu Qingshan followed his master to a clinic in Chinatown during this time.

Liu Qingshan didn't take the disturbance from the outside world to heart. These were discussed with Ovitz and were part of the hype.

For these hype schemes proposed by Liu Qingshan, Ovitz also admired them, and gallantly invited Liu Qingshan to join the big family of CAA.

Liu Qingshan is not a professional, of course he will not agree, but recommends Maria, Lao Cui and Sister Zhang to Ovitz.

After all, CAA's resources are giants in the industry, which will help these people in their future development.

In Los Angeles Chinatown, the Christmas atmosphere has basically dissipated, and I am more used to the Chinese Spring Festival here.

These days, many Chinese in Chinatown are very happy.

Because a medical team that gathers famous doctors in China and Hong Kong Island, etc., goes deep into the community and provides free consultations for free.

Regardless of whether those foreigners believe in Chinese medicine or not, most Chinese believe in it anyway.

Moreover, the medical skills of this medical team are really superb, and many Chinese people's old problems have been alleviated and cured, which has also won the medical team a great reputation.

It is a pity that starting tomorrow, this medical team will be transferred to other communities.

As a result, many beneficiaries sent small gifts to the medical team to express their gratitude, because if they gave money, they would not accept it.

Not bad, it's a little bit of the tradition that the common people supported the soldiers of the children.

Liu Qingshan took the mung bean cake from an old lady, tasted a piece, it was sweet, soft and glutinous, and tasted very good, and then handed it to the little fourth and the others who ran over.

These little guys, in Chinatown, had a great time every day, and made several friends.

In the words of the fourth youngest: it's almost the same as in China.

Liu Qingshan just nodded with a smile. He didn't want to tell his sister that if it wasn't for Du Yunfeng's cover, they would have been robbed many times, or they might have disappeared.

But these things are too dark, Liu Qingshan doesn't want to give too much input to a few younger sisters, just let them spend a happy childhood happily.

The medical team packed up and went back to the villa to finish dinner. Du Yunfeng also respected the team of Grandpa Dumb and the others.

Except for the first few days, the medical team has been staying here all the time.

The next morning, Liu Qingshan got up as usual for morning exercise, but the number of people in the morning exercise team was already considerable.

In addition to the original people, there were Song Yizhen and Master Fan, who were also taught the stance skills by the dumb grandfather.

Today, the number of people is extraordinarily large. In the team, four handsome young people have joined.

It's the group of 4 from Beyond. They ended their tour of the African continent and came here to join Liu Qingshan. They just arrived yesterday.

You can obviously feel that some kind of change has taken place in the four of them, but you can't tell what it is.

But Liu Qingshan knew that it was a kind of elevation of belief and sublimation of belief.

After the morning exercise, the medical team took several vehicles and headed to the slum.

Yes, even in a big city like Los Angeles, one of the best in the United States, there are still poor people.

A few little girls thought they were the same as Chinatown, so they had to follow, but Liu Qingshan drove them back.

On the contrary, the four-member band, carrying guitars, followed them together. Of course they were not afraid. On the African continent, the poverty they had seen was worse than this.

In Jiaju's words: they can play the guitar and sing, and maybe they can attract a few patients.

After all, this place is different from Chinatown, and they don't recognize Chinese medicine very much.

Before he came, Liu Qingshan thought it was a slum, but when he got there, he found out that it wasn't at all.

On the roadside are tents, colorful, one by one, and there are some tatters scattered around the tents.

There are also things like containers that were towed from nowhere, and there are people living in them.

Most of them were black, and they were all homeless homeless people.

Houses in Los Angeles are still relatively expensive, and not everyone can afford them.

After the car was parked, the medical team got out of the car and carried down the tables, chairs and simple examination beds that had been pulled over, but found that the roadside was full of tents, and there was no free space at all.

Hey buddy, you guys are not welcome here, look elsewhere!

In the tent next to him, a shirtless little black came out. He waved his arms at Liu Qingshan and the others, and immediately started to drive them away.

Looking at the posture, he seemed to regard Liu Qingshan and the others as the same kind.

Boy, talk well! Li Tie Niu didn't know what it meant to be polite, so he directly pinched Xiao Hei's neck and lifted him into the air.

The guy was wearing shorts, his feet were off the ground, and his legs were kicking: Dude, put it down, you're going to strangle me, ahem.

After Li Tie Niu put him down, the little black covered his throat again, coughed for a while, and then scolded and packed his things:

Oh, damn it, let this place go to you bandits.

It seemed that he really regarded this group of people as a turf.

Friend, we are here for a free clinic, that is to see a doctor for free. Liu Qingshan stopped the chattering little black.

As for the promotion of traditional Chinese medicine, there is no need here.

I'm not sick! The little black raised his hands high, still indignant.

At this time, in another tent next to him, another bearded old black man emerged: This guy is sick, he is infected with AIDS.

Xiao Hei was even more anxious when he heard it: Jackson, don't talk nonsense, if my girlfriend hears it, you must kill me!

The filthy bearded man looked at Liu Qingshan and the others: Guys, you really came to this community to provide medical services, you better go, people who make a name for themselves are not welcome here.

Because the bearded man found out that there were already several people carrying cameras around, apparently all of them were reporters.

So he took this as a show.

This made Song Yizhen and his disciples feel a little depressed: In Chinatown, we are all very popular, how come we are left out here?

Seeing that no one was paying attention, the four members of Jiaju's band finally felt that they could come in handy.

Several people played guitar and sang:

Heaven, birds can be seen in the sky, they spread their wings and flutter in panic, and they travel through the sky just to find freedom.

Heart, hundreds of billions of hearts are broken, all the troubles today, as if the truth has disappeared on the earth...

It's the indictment of war to the end, the pain is the child,

I call out to the world,

AMANI-NAKUPENDA-NAKUPENDA-WE-WE

Tuna-taka-we-we

Although there is no audio equipment, the strong and desolate singing of several people, full of sincere care and accusation, instantly touched the hearts of every listener.

Liu Qingshan also nodded approvingly. It seems that these people have made great progress in the practice of standing in the past six months, and their control of voice has surpassed their original self.

And this AMANI was also created during their travels in Africa. It was only after seeing the refugee children who were displaced by the war that they felt it.

AMANI is a Kenyan word for peace, which is an ode to the desire for peace.

Of the reporters accompanying him, two had already followed up and interviewed in Chinatown, and a few had followed Liu Qingshan.

After all, Mr. Mountain is the talk of the town now.

Unexpectedly, there was also a windfall, they were fortunate enough to hear a very heart-shattering song.

Although they could not understand the lyrics, they could feel the power contained in the song.

Of course Liu Qingshan knew the origin and meaning of this song, and he immediately told it when a reporter asked him about it.

This time, the reporters are even more excited. You must know that this topic, in their country, is absolutely politically correct.

I don't know how many citizens have donated money or materials to Africa.

Different from the excited reporters, there were many black people who gradually gathered around. They could not understand Cantonese, but some of them could understand Kenyan.

When the band sang the last AMANI, many black uncles immediately followed and shouted.

Tears were rolling down their dark cheeks.

They are calling not only for peace, but for survival.

Even the poor have the right to live!

An interview car whizzed by with the big letters of CBS printed on it.

Then, a beautiful blond woman jumped out of the car:

Guys, I'm your old friend, Linda from CBS, and I'm on the famous slum street in Los Angeles, doing a live broadcast for you.

This reporter was Liu Qingshan when he first came to Los Angeles when there was a traffic jam.

She received a report from the informant that Mr. Mountain appeared on the street again, and hurried there.

Linda was not disappointed, and saw someone singing affectionately again.

Mr. Mountain, can you help translate it? Linna didn't understand either, so she asked Liu Qingshan for help.

Liu Qingshan talked eloquently to the camera, this is a good opportunity, Jiaju and their band may also become famous in one fell swoop.

good song!

The more Linda listened, the more delighted she became, and she instantly became affectionate: Audience friends, this is usually the most chaotic neighborhood in Los Angeles, full of vicious incidents such as robbery and violence.

But today, what have we seen, those we usually think of as villains, they are all crying...

Liu Qingshan couldn't help blinking his eyes: It seems that we have gone astray, we are here for free clinics, not for a concert?
