America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 150 For your future

"The Hudson Theater needs a new owner? What does that mean?"

Eric looked at Zhou Wenqiong aggressively.

Zhou Wenqiong also stared at him closely: "That's what I mean. The Hudson Theater has been poorly managed for a long time. After changing hands several times, it is still in a state of loss."

"Without the injection of funds, the theater will definitely collapse within a year or two. My boss has actually been interested in finding someone willing to take over."

After listening to Zhou Wenqiong's explanation, Eric asked curiously: "Why is the operating condition of the theater so bad? What is the reason?"

"If it is an irresistible factor, then it will be useless for anyone to take over. It will just be wasted money."

Zhou Wenqiong organized her words: "There are three main reasons. I think it is not a force majeure factor."

"First of all, the current owner is Mrs. Valens. Originally, the theater was run by her husband, but the year before last, Mr. Valens died in an accident, so the theater was under her name."

"It may be a bad thing to say, but Mrs. Valens is really not a very business-minded person. She really doesn't know how to do business."

"Secondly, the equipment of the Hudson Theater is relatively old. The length of its history has given it weight and accumulation, and at the same time, it has become more aged and decayed."

"The tables, chairs, benches, interior decoration, electronic equipment, etc. in theaters are all relatively old now. Guests will not compromise their personal experience just because of your history."

"Then there is the variety of plays. The lack of funds means that the Hudson Theater cannot afford those popular plays, and the plays currently performed are relatively old."

"Although we are also trying new stage plays, we are even willing to support the creations of many newcomers for free, hoping to find a few pearls from them."

"But it turns out that not everyone is a master. Many newcomers are just hot-headed, and the plays they create cannot be staged at all."

"Over time, a vicious cycle has developed, and now the Hudson Theater is on the verge of bankruptcy."

"Mr. Eric, my sister and Feifei both say that you are a very capable person. Your vision and courage are second to none in the entire Hollywood."

"Wait, pause for a moment, don't put a high hat on me, Joan. Although compliments from beautiful women will be very helpful to men, but the prerequisite is that they are complimented without any purpose." Eric interrupted Zhou Wenqiong directly. of flattery.

"No, this is not a high hat. I just told the facts. I can decisively invest in China Mainland and establish Eastern MGM. This is something that the other six companies dare not do."

"Eric, you, a young man who is only 22 years old, took the lead and was the first to enter China. This is a reflection of courage and vision."

"China has joined the WTO, and the economy there will soon take off, and the economic takeoff will inevitably lead to the prosperity of the film market.

"Perhaps in a few years, MGM, which dares to take the lead, will be able to enjoy this cake in advance."

"The same goes for the Hudson. What it lacked was money and resources, and MGM had them all."

“Now that Disney has New Amsterdam, why not MGM take the Hudson?”

"As one of the seven major film and television companies in Hollywood, I think there is no reason for MGM to be inferior to Disney."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Eric opened his mouth and laughed. This woman not only flattered him, but even used provocation.

But she is too anxious, her methods are not clever, and her purpose is too obvious. It is difficult not to make people suspect that she has ulterior motives.

"Eric, why are you laughing?" Liu Yifei asked with her eyes wide open.

"It's nothing, I just didn't expect that a chance encounter and a meal could lead to a business."

"Qiong, I don't understand one thing. Whether the theater goes bankrupt or not is a matter that the boss is concerned about. Why are you so concerned about it? Do you have any shares?"

Zhou Wenqiong shook her head: "No, it's just that I managed to get to this position with great difficulty. It is difficult for Chinese people to be promoted in the United States. I think you also know this, Eric."

"If there is only one purpose, it is to hope that after you take over the Hudson Theater, you will continue to hire me as the program director. There is nothing else."

Zhou Wenqiong's answer was not satisfactory, and there was still a fog surrounding Eric's heart.

Because there are hundreds of theaters on Broadway, if Zhou Wenqiong is really super capable, she can definitely find another home even if she leaves the Hudson Theater.

After all, according to what she said, she managed to climb to this position, which means that she is very capable.

A truly capable person will never worry about the company going bankrupt.

Therefore, Zhou Wenqiong's explanation was somewhat contradictory and could not convince Eric anyway. His intuition told him that there must be something fishy in it.

There's no way this bitch has developed feelings for the theater, that would be too magical.

"Joan, your proposal is very good. Broadway is indeed an area that MGM is willing to enter, but buying a theater requires a large amount of money. This is not something I can decide on my own."

"Eric, there is actually no need to buy the theater completely. You can also choose to inject capital and become a shareholder of the Hudson Theater."

"Haha, it doesn't make sense if it's not a full controlling stake. MGM needs to seriously consider this matter before making a decision."

Perhaps realizing that she was too impatient, Zhou Wenqiong stopped insisting and changed her words: "How about this? You can send someone to the Hassend Theater to investigate and then judge whether it is worth it.

"no problem."

"Then I'll be waiting for you on Broadway!"

Seeing that the two of them were almost done talking about things, Liu Xiaoli hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, let's eat something first. If you don't eat, you will be cold."

"That's right. Leonard's food is more delicious. Even Asians can eat it."

"The price is still expensive." Liu Yifei said, sticking out her tongue.

"It's expensive because it's private. Besides, you're also a big star, so you still don't have enough money?"

"Of course I'm short of money. Who said I'm a big star and my salary is very low?"

"Bai Xiuzhu in "The Family" made you famous all over the country. I remember you also had "Dragon". If you are not a big star, what are other actors?" Eric continued to tease Liu Yifei.

"But "Dragon" hasn't started airing yet. I heard from the director that it won't be aired until December this year. It's still early for it to become a big star."

"Then you are still playing in the United States. The special period in China is over. Why don't you go back to filming quickly?"

"You can't just take on all the roles. My mother said that if you want to film, film something influential. It's best if it's a big director and a big production."

"Yes, the movies that come to Feifei now are not very good. We don't care about the salary. The key is that the script is not good and the characters are not exciting enough. Instead of wasting time on these movies, it is better to study hard."

"Eric, according to the advice you gave, Feifei and I hired a martial arts teacher and a personal acting trainer. We have perfected our kung fu and will enter Hollywood in the future."

As she spoke, Liu Xiaoli picked up her wine glass: "Here, let me toast you."

The two took a sip each, and Liu Xiaoli continued: "I told you last time in New York that Feifei has been practicing for more than two months and now has a certain foundation. I wonder if you can give her a role? "

Hearing this, Eric was shocked. He was shocked that the other party actually dared to make such a request.

It took Jackie Chan and Jet Li twenty years to break into Hollywood, and you want to come in in two months, a public restroom?

Unexpectedly, Liu Xiaoli added: "I didn't mean for Feifei to be the starring role. She is still too immature and can't be the starring role."

"Small roles, guest appearances, etc. are fine. We are willing to start from the bottom. Everything must have a beginning."

Eric nodded slightly. You are self-aware.

The fingers tapped lightly on the table, each time seeming to hit the hearts of the Liu family and their daughter.

After a while, Eric said: "During this period, all MGM projects have started shooting, and the roles have almost been decided."

"Well, I'll look over the script when I get back. If there's something suitable, it doesn't hurt to let Crystal play the role."

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoli suddenly laughed happily. I have caught you three times, but I have gotten something useful.

"Feifei, you also want to toast Eric."

"Forget it, Crystal is still young, so don't get involved in the drinking and drinking culture. Too many people have fallen into this circle. I hope you won't be polluted by those bad habits."

"Yes, I will!" Liu Yifei said seriously.

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect Feifei at all costs!"

The meal was eaten very quickly and ended around eight o'clock. In a gentlemanly manner, he called a car for them to take them back to the hotel, and Eric went home.

It had been a tiring day for me, especially the morning battle with the Olsen sisters, which consumed a lot of energy.

After taking a shower, Eric went to bed early.

In the middle of the night, I woke up from peeing. When I went to the bathroom, I took a look and found Liu Xiaoli's text message, which contained only a short line of text.

"We're staying at the Rupert Hotel and I'll be waiting for you tonight."

But the text message was sent more than an hour ago. It's already past 1 o'clock in the evening, and I don't know if this slut slept.

Thinking of the slut seducing him in the shopping mall, two rabbits and a big white sheep were jumping around in Eric's mind again, making him a little confused.

I've been eating European and American food lately, so it's good to change my taste.

Moreover, after a good sleep, I have regained a lot of energy, and it is easy to practice the Eight Ways of Night Fighting.

After thinking about it, Eric finally sent a text message back to Liu Xiaoli: "I just woke up, are you asleep?"

I didn't have high hopes at first, but I didn't expect the message to come back soon, and it was still very brief.

"Tell me when you get there."

"Damn it, let's fight until dawn!"

Get dressed and go downstairs. The health wine sent by Han Sanping has arrived. Let's have a drink first.

He took out the disgusting green liquid Sergey gave him from the refrigerator and drank another drink.

He turned around and walked out of the house and headed straight to the hotel. He arrived at his destination twenty minutes later, his body already feeling hot.

Drinking the two liquids together, the energy is particularly fierce, which can be regarded as a fusion of things.

The family doctor couldn't figure out the cause. Eric went to the hospital for a check-up and found that it did not affect his body, but made his sperm more energetic.

The doctor at the hospital also didn't know what the reason was, but he still advised him not to go too far. It's best not to go overboard more than twice a week, and to come to the hospital for regular check-ups.

Open the room and go straight to the fifth floor.

"514, come here quickly!"

After sending the text message, a moment later there was a knock on the door outside.

Dong dong dong...

Click!

The moment there was a knock on the door, Eric, who was waiting at the door, pulled the handle and pulled Liu Xiaoli in.

"Eric...ugh!"

Before Liu Xiaoli could finish her sentence, she was pushed to the ground with huge force and her legs fell to her knees.

A few minutes later, she used all her strength to push Eric away, glared and cursed: "You bastard, can't you prepare something for me?"

"Is it that exaggerated?" Eric chuckled.

"rogue!"

Liu Xiaoli was so angry that she raised her hand to hit her, but she didn't have much strength, so she was immediately caught by Eric, turned around and carried him into the bedroom.

boom!

There was a muffled sound, and the woman was violently thrown onto the bed.

At the same time, in another room, Zhou Wenqiong opened her eyes and looked at the door.

Although the movement of Liu Xiaoli's departure just now was very small, it still woke her up, and she quietly watched her cousin walk out of the room.

If a woman goes out in the middle of the night, and goes out secretly, she can probably guess what she wants to do.

Zhou Wenqiong is a shrewd person and immediately thought of Eric.

She got up and got out of bed, walked to the apartment of Liu's mother and daughter next to her, and found that Liu Yifei was still sleeping soundly. She couldn't help but shook her head.

"Alas! Feifei, you still don't know that your mother is being ridden for the sake of your future."

"But Eric Cooper is so handsome. To put it another way, your mother is taking advantage. Maybe she is enjoying it."

At this time, seeing the mobile phone placed by the bedside, Zhou Wenqiong hesitated for a moment, then walked over and picked it up.

After opening it, she quickly discovered those text messages, which also confirmed her suspicion.

As expected, my cousin was fucked by that young boy.

"514, do you want me to go take a look?"

I muttered in my heart and turned around to put this strange thought behind me, but then another thought came to me automatically.

"If my cousin can help Feifei get a good role by dedicating herself, can you ask her to help?"

"Perhaps as long as she pleases the other party a few more times and MGM devotes some resources, she can really be the drama director."

Zhou Wenqiong's mind went back and forth, and various thoughts kept coming together and intertwined.

Today is coming to an end. The old lady is 92 years old, so she is happy and mourning. I have been exhausted these past few days.
