Entertainment Rebirth Rhapsody

Chapter 162 Chapter 160 Two: Arriving in Hollywood Again

After meeting with Ma Huateng, Shanhe let go of his consideration of Tencent's equity and said everything that should be said. As for the result, Shanhe was not worried.

Ma Huateng is a smart person. His understanding of the Internet is much deeper than that of Shanhe. Let Chuhe Investment Company worry about the subsequent piecemeal game!

The day before leaving for Country M, Shanhe first watched his mother board the flight back to the Magic City at the airport, and then saw Qu Ling and Yang Liu rushing to the capital.

Shanhe waved to the two at the airport pick-up gate, and after a while, the three met at the airport.

Qu Ling pushed the luggage cart, smiled and said to Shan He: "Didn't I tell you not to pick you up at the airport? I haven't seen you for a few days!"

Shanhe took the stroller from Qu Ling's hand, "I just put my mother on the plane. Wasn't it a coincidence?"

"Your mother has gone back, and you still want to discuss the film and television company with her!" Qu Ling said while walking, "Jerry called again before I got on the plane, this time it's not a rush, Shanhe, your novel was shortlisted Winning the National Book Critics Circle Award from Country M is a great thing!”

Shanhe is a little confused about this award from Country M. He has never heard of it. Isn’t it some kind of pheasant award?

"Aunt Qu, what kind of award is this National Book Critics Association Award? I don't have the slightest impression."

"This is one of the three major book awards in country M, and it is also the only authoritative award among the three major book awards that has non-M book winners. All literary books listed in North America can be included in the selection. This time the jury selected Among the three candidates, there is your name." Qu Ling explained to Shanhe.

Shanhe straightened the suitcase on the trolley, turned to Qu Ling and responded, "So this award is a bit of a gold medal, I thought it was another trick created by Disney! When will the result be out?"

"I don't know the specifics. I just heard about Jerry's introduction. From what he said, you have a high chance of winning the award. Disney Pictures probably will work hard behind it!" Qu Ling replied.

Shanhe smiled when he heard the words, "Okay, I'll just sit back and enjoy it. I'll ask Jerry again when I arrive in Los Angeles. It's the first time I've been nominated for this kind of international book award. I still have a sense of anticipation."

"Of course it's great to win an award, but don't worry too much about it. These are all icing on the cake, so calm down!" Qu Ling responded to Shan He.

"Understood, are you going to the hotel or my house for a night?" Shanhe asked casually.

Qu Ling gave Shanhe a blank look, "We are on a business trip for the company, and some rooms have been booked. Chuhe is no longer the original grass-roots team. We have hired professional managers. You should have this concept in your mind, you are the biggest in the company. Boss!"

Shanhe rubbed his forehead, "I don't want to worry about it, as long as you and my mother take care of it."

"Just hide and be lazy. I'll see how long you can hide. You don't need you for daily management, but you still have to make decisions for big decisions and investments. Your mother said that no one can compare to you in terms of luck!" Qu Ling replied angrily.

"Let's talk later!"

The next day, the three boarded a flight to Los Angeles as scheduled.

From the moment I saw Bruckheimer when I got off the plane, Shanhe's Hollywood itinerary began.

There were actually a few reporters who picked him up with him at the airport. Facing the microphone stuck in his mouth, Shanhe was a little speechless.

"Qiu, how do you feel about being shortlisted for the National Book Critics Circle Award in Country M this time? What do you think your chances of winning are?"

After Shanhe glared at Bruckheimer, he concentrated on dealing with the reporter.

"I only got the news before I got on the plane. Of course I am very happy to be shortlisted for such an important award. As for whether to win or not, it is not for me to decide. A nomination is a victory!"

"Qiu, you came to M this time mainly to witness the release of the movie "Parasite". What prediction do you have for the movie "Parasite" and what expectations do you have?"

"Well, I haven't seen the movie yet, but I really believe in Disney's adaptation work. Martin Scorsese's director level is even the best in Hollywood. I am very optimistic about the box office and award prospects of "Parasite." Shanhe replied .

"Can you give a specific box office figure?"

"Well, 3000 million in the first week, and the total box office in North America must be over million!"

"Qiu, what do you think about the unequal treatment of people of color in country M? Will you support black people's protests?"

"As a non-M Chinese, I can't comment on the internal status quo of M country. "Parasite" is my point of view. Blacks also have the right to demand equality."

...

After dealing with a few reporters, Bruckheimer brought the two of them up to Disney's pick-up limousine.

In the luxurious carriage, Bruckheimer opened champagne, poured it for the two of them, raised his glass, and said with a smile on his face: "Welcome our great writer to Hollywood again, and in order to wish the great success of "Parasite" Sell ​​a toast!"

After Shanhe and Qu Ling exchanged glances, they touched Bruckheimer with a smile, and drank the champagne in the glass in one gulp.

Shan He put down his wine glass, looked at Bruckheimer and said: "Jerry, you are too anxious, the airport has already started to arrange interviews, in case I am not prepared enough, and I miss it, you are not afraid of backlash!"

"Qiu, you still don't know anything about Hollywood. The more outrageous you say, the happier we are. We only pay attention if there are gimmicks! Haha..." Bruckheimer laughed after finishing speaking.

"Fuck you, I said that the publicity about me must be approved by me, otherwise I have the right to refuse to cooperate, Jerry, don't force me to cooperate with others!" Shanhe reminded Bruckheimer with righteous words.

Bruckheimer poured champagne for the two, and responded with a smile: "My dear Qiu, you are still so simple and have no sense of humor at all. Don't worry, there is no scandal about Anne this time. By the way, you need me Do you have a date scheduled for you?"

Shanhe gave Bruckheimer an angry look, "No need!"

Qu Ling laughed and interjected, "Jerry, don't tease Qiu. You have to give me the itinerary for this time. We have prepared in advance. If there is an accident, it will affect us all."

"No problem, Qu, "Oprah's Talk Show" will invite Qiu to participate in the next two days. This is the most important interview. You and Qiu need to focus on preparations. I will give you the relevant information together with the schedule." Bullock Hai Mo responded to Qu Ling.

"Okay!" Qu Ling nodded, "Also, how valuable is the National Book Critics Association Award of Country M? Is it the work of your Disney Pictures?"

"This award is very powerful. It is not an award that can be nominated by operation alone. It is one of the three authoritative literary awards in the United States. The nomination of Yau does not have much credit for Disney, but Disney will help with matters after the nomination Yes, as a non-M Chinese, if Qiu wins the award, and the release of "Parasite", it will attract a lot of attention." Bruckheimer introduced to the two.

Shanhe was a little moved when he heard this, and then asked: "When will the results of the awards be announced?"

"The results should already be in. As usual, before Christmas, the Book Critics Association will announce the winners of various awards. I will go find out. Qiu, you have a great chance of winning. The book "Parasite" is in M The turmoil caused by the country is quite big!"

"Well, that's up to God. In Chinese, it's up to God!" Shan He took a sip of champagne, looked at the interior decoration of the extended VIP car, "Jerry, this car is not bad!"

"As long as you like it, this car is your special car in Hollywood. Disney has to show some sincerity and respect." Bruckheimer said with a wink at Shan He.

While speaking, the car drove into the Hilton Hotel. After the assistant and the doorman put their luggage into the trolley, Bruckheimer said goodbye, "Qiu, you and Qu have a good rest, we will be busy tomorrow. See you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow!"

The next day, when Shan He woke up in the luxurious suite arranged by Disney Pictures, Qu Ling had already started to study the promotional itinerary sent by Disney.

From the second day Shanhe came to M to the premiere of "Parasite", more than a week was full of schedules, including book fan meetings, interviews with newspapers and magazines, and two TV interviews, including yesterday's Bruckheimer keynote The Oprah Show was proposed, there were radio interviews, and there was even a promotional photo shoot to be done!
Qu Ling rubbed his forehead, and focused on reading the materials of "Oprah's Talk Show".

"Oprah's Talk Show" is the most successful talk show program in country M. Since the program started in , it has occupied the top ratings of talk show programs for more than ten years now.

The producer of this show is the host Oprah. Her experience is quite inspirational. A low-status black illegitimate daughter became pregnant at the age of 14. Now she is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and her influence is not worse than that of the president of country M. Amazing!

Shanhe is very suitable for her program. First of all, "Parasite" is suitable for a small column "Oprah's Book Club" in "Oprah's Talk Show". The representative character, the realizer of the M country dream, and the identity of the third country of China is very topical. This is the type of character that Oprah likes to invite most.

After reading the introduction materials of "Oprah's Talk Show", Qu Ling called Shanhe's room number.

Ten minutes later, Shanhe and Qu Ling talked about the "Oprah Talk Show".

Shanhe was actually somewhat impressed by this black woman, but not deeply. He only knew that her experience was very inspiring, she was worth billions of dollars, and she had great influence in country M.

"Shanhe, this "Oprah Talk Show" is much more powerful than I imagined. It has an average of 3000 million viewers per episode. We have to be careful. This is Oprah's information. Take a serious look!" Qu Ling handed the information to Shan He.

After Shanhe took it and read it carefully, he looked up at Qu Ling and said, "This woman is really amazing. Her hosting style is not annoying. She shouldn't embarrass me by talking about sensitive issues!"

Qu Ling nodded, "You still have to anticipate some answers to the questions, after all, "Parasite" is the source of the topic."

"Understood, Aunt Qu, how many schedules do we have to finish today?" Shan He asked.

"I was interviewed by several newspapers in the morning, and in the afternoon you have to finish taking promotional photos and an interview with a literary magazine." Qu Ling replied looking at the schedule.

"All right!"

After a day of publicity, the street lights in Los Angeles have been turned on.

Shanhe's expression looked a little tired. When he returned to the VIP car, he closed his eyes and rested. Qu Ling poured him a glass of water.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from the window in front of the car, "Qiu, are you okay?"

Shan He opened his eyes and saw York, the black man on the passenger seat in front of the car, was smiling at him, "Hey, York, why are you here? It wasn't you who sat there in the morning. Blake is okay, everyone in your family All right?"

"It's all good. Blake knew you came to Los Angeles and even wanted to come with me to see you. You made him famous for a while!" York replied.

"Haha..." Shanhe's mood improved a lot when he saw his old friend, "York, I brought you some small Chinese gifts, Chinese knots, folding fans, and a panda doll for Maggie. I'll bring you some later. Come!"

"Qiu, thank you. During the time you are in Hollywood, I will be your assistant. You can tell me what you want."

"That's great. I'll be very busy recently, so I may not be able to visit your house!"

"I'm your assistant. I know your schedule. With your gift, my family will be very happy!"

The arrival of an old friend has made Shanhe's publicity schedule a lot easier. In his free time, he can chat with York and talk about Black's various off-line behaviors.

On the fourth day of the trip, the three of Shanhe boarded a flight to Chicago, and Shanhe was about to start the recording of "Oprah's Talk Show".
