Chapter 62 (1/2)
”OK, wait for me downstairs, soon.” Lawrence closed the door awkwardly.
The banquet downstairs has just finished. Mahdi is waiting on the sofa. Seeing Li Zitao appear, he quickly gets up, ”boss.”
”Sit down and say.” Sitting on the sofa, Li Zi Tao lowered his head and thought and said, ”Oscar's headquarters is set up on the hillside of Beverly Hills. Aren't there many stars staying there? Buy more land and stir it up while promoting the Oscars.
build a villa on it for Bergman. The headquarters of the foundation is set up at the foot of the mountain. In addition, the investment in public facilities should be slowed down as much as possible, waiting for the first Oscar to be held... ”
To be fair to all, the establishment of the Oscar for Li Zitao did not have any substantial help. It was entirely his impulse.
Hollywood's power is still in the hands of big companies. To make Oscar truly worthy of its name, it is necessary to attract the giants.
If the other party does not submit the work to the Academy Awards Committee, the Oscar can only choose those bad films and small productions to award.
Or, on the day of the award ceremony, when the nominees were absent, what value would the Academy Awards have to say in addition to becoming a laughing stock?
So Li told Mahdi to stay and have a good fight with the Hollywood giants to see what kind of demands they would put forward.
But he was not totally unproductive. He had valuable contacts with Elaine, California governor Frances, Los Angeles Mayor Carl, and senior Republican Senator Laura Clara.
There is also the Pearl of Bergman. He is very satisfied with the performance and modification of the Ingrid.
Of course, he has to pay a huge investment of $20 million, and 10 million into the starlight foundation, which will be used as the production gold of the future Oscar Awards trophy and the permanent maintenance fund for the avenue of stars, as well as the daily expenses of the awards.
Five million dollars will be used to pave the avenue of stars, and the remaining five million dollars will be responsible for the repair of public facilities. Under the supervision of Mahadi, the money will be given priority to road repair.
If you want to be rich, you should build roads first. This is the strategic principle of the development of the red doctrine.
The priority of repair is naturally the road traffic leading to the avenue of stars. Who makes these two investments come from him!
However, the sum of $5 million is enough to repair all the roads in Hollywood and set up another two tram lines, but the sequence is different.
”Boss, our people have a preliminary contact with paramount, and the other party means they want to occupy a certain seat in the jury.” Mahdi leaned over and whispered.
”We can promise that, as long as the foundation is not involved, other parties can make appropriate compromises, and we must improve the containment of Oscar.”
Li Zitao wants to use the foundation to firmly tie down the source of funds for Oscar. If he wants funds, he can go to the foundation to solve the problem.
Self raised funds and foreign funds?
Sorry, no!
”I'll be careful. For the bowl theater, we've got a price of $600000, led by the actors' Union, and the other party needs $50000.”
”Give it to him.” Li Zitao is very atmospheric, said: ”another person to find a design, I will let Ben speed up the acquisition of baikede.”
The construction of the Oscar star theater can't afford to delay. Li Zitao wants to hold the first Academy Award Ceremony in the Oscar Star Theater named after it.
With less than 70 days to go before the award day, Li Zitao is not sure whether he can catch up with him. He can only speed up every link and has no time to bargain for 50000 US dollars.
He needs public opinion about the Academy Awards to keep up the heat, when expectations and curiosity are driven to the limit.
To the most shock, luxury, beyond the imagination of the effect of the explosion, so as to create enough sensation.
If the price difference of tens of thousands of dollars makes Oscar a chicken rib and a laughing stock, then Li Zitao will really cry and faint in the toilet.
When the influence of Oscar is all over the United States, as long as one third of the people pay attention to this feast, Li Zitao will let the distinguished Mr. Mayer know who is the king of Hollywood.
”Charlie, are you ready to go?” Over indulgent Lawrence came down with a hot girl in his arms. It didn't look like he wanted to part.
”Come here.” Li Zitao's face was gloomy and he hooked his hand.
”Hey, man, how are my girls? They are so hot!” Lawrence came running to Li Zitao with a grin and showed off.
”Let them go, or you'll stay here and play slowly.” Li Zitao doesn't mind his playing with women, but he should have a certain degree in everything.
Lawrence is obviously over indulgent now, and even wants to leave with these two girls. Is he really going to die on X?
”Oh no, Charlie, you can't deprive me of my right to enjoy life.” Lawrence had a headache and couldn't live.
Li Zitao stood up and walked directly. He didn't care about him at all. As soon as the car drove to front of him, Lawrence rushed after him.”Man, you are so cruel.” Sitting in the car, looking at the two hot girls eyes weeping, reluctant to give up, Lawrence complained bitterly.
”If you dare to talk nonsense again, you can run back to Chicago yourself.” Hearing this, Lawrence closed his mouth on the spot, leaned his head on the back of his chair and fell asleep.
When they opened their eyes again, they had arrived at the airport. ”Look at you now. I believe your father would love to see it. Do you want me to call uncle Elaine?”
When he got on the plane, Li Zitao said with a smile to Lawrence who yawned. However, the smile was full of threats.
