235 Who Set the Rule That Hollywood Must Be in Merika?
"Boring…" Hearing Lin Hao tell him about James' background, Hong Dali disdainfully twitched his mouth. "What has that got to do with me? Although I plan to make a few movies, I'm only doing it for fun. It's not like I really plan to develop my business in Hollywood."
"This…" Lin Hao felt a bit depressed. After thinking for half a day, he then said, "Then, Young Master, we can put it this way. The more friends you have, the more options you have in life. Think about it, what if next time you think that filming is very fun and really planned to expand your market? With just one word from James, your movies will be able to enter Hollywood. Those are all box office!"
He wasn't overstating here. This James was indeed an authentic well-known director and had filmed a few big hits. His power in Hollywood was enormous.
If the movies from Heavenly State wished to be screened in Merika, all it needed was just one word from this James.
Of course, on the other hand, if he said that the movie was not good enough, then it was basically impossible for the movie to enter Hollywood.
"That doesn't matter." Hong Dali shrugged indifferently. He had never planned to develop into Hollywood, anyway. He had both the money and people he needed, and he was also unlike Liang Yifeng who flew all around the world to flirt with women. He entered the movie industry purely for the sake of having fun. Also, whether or not he was really going to make more films was still uncertain. Naturally, he didn't regard this James as someone important.
What did it matter how powerful he was in his country. It's not like he would give the money he earned to Hong Dali, and Hong Dali also didn't need any help from him, so why the need to act so humbly towards him?Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
But the problem was, he was brought here by Lin Hao. As the saying goes, you can disregard someone, but you should slightly respect them if he were a friend of your friend. Hong Dali could totally disregard James, but he couldn't totally disregard Lin Hao. He nodded and asked, "OK, then let me talk to him. Hm, I almost forgot to ask, what did you bring him here for? Investment?" That would be good because Hong Dali was still afraid that he was spending money too slowly…
"As for this, I wanted to ask you to put a share in. But as for how, I'm not too sure. I didn't ask for the specific details." Lin Hao saw that Hong Dali's tone wasn't as firm as before and finally felt relieved.
"… %¥… &&*&…" James said.
What the heck! He actually came for this? Does this fellow even know what my Big Turtle represents?
And he still intends to borrow it? A yellow-haired monkey asking to borrow it just like that? 10% of the shares? Do you think I am a moron?
Hong Dali didn't even think about it, he directly shook his head. "No!"
"WHY!?" This time, Hong Dali understood this word. Of course, just this one word, the rest was still gibberish to him. "%¥%¥##*(&&)*)*)(*——)(("
Indeed, from James' perspective, he could obtain two million plus worth of shares by just shooting a few scenes, this was indeed akin to money dropping from the sky.
If it were some other animal, Hong Dali would have agreed since there weren't any cons. It was just shooting for fun, it wasn't something that really mattered to him.
However, if he wanted Big Turtle, it was definitely a no.
What image did Big Turtle have in the Nation now? The divine beast, the Black Tortoise! A totem-like sacred creature! It was fine for him to play with Big Turtle and bring it out for a walk because he was, after all, the one who helped turn it over. But allowing the Merikans to use it for their film? Two million? Even 20 million couldn't get him to agree!
Once he really did such a thing, that would represent that Big Turtle had fallen from its God-like altar. By that time, the loss would definitely be much more than what he gained!
Suspect my IQ? There would be something wrong with my IQ if I really lent it to you!
"Ask if he understands the culture of our Nation. Does he know what Big Turtle represents?" By this time, Hong Dali couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to this James anymore. However, because Lin Hao's relationship with Hong Dali was not bad, he would just speak a few more words with him. If not, Hong Dali would have already thrown him out—he didn't need to beg this fellow for anything, what was he so cocky for?
Hearing him said so, Hong Dali was instead amused. He nodded and said, "Yup, don't worry, I promise I will not make things difficult to you. Tell him, Hollywood is just a small place. To say it nicely, it's the center of the filming industry. But to say it not so nicely, it's just a small county town. I really don't give any regards to it."
When Hong Dali finished saying this, Tang Muxin instantly cheered and said, "Well said, Dali! That is really domineering, I support you! I give you 32 likes!"
Li Nianwei, Lin Zixuan, and the nine lackeys all raised their thumbs too.
The lackeys were thinking:
"Being Young Master's subordinate, the treatment is indeed different! We won't lose out no matter where we go!"
"Young Master is really a man of iron! Look at how he said it! The other party said that Big Turtle was just a normal alligator snapping turtle, and Young Master replied that Hollywood is just a small county town. This whack at the face is really awesome!"
"Yup, help me translate one sentence." Hong Dali sniffled. "What has this got to do with this! Just this sentence!"
Before he was done, Hong Dali directly pulled him aside. "You're not imposing at all!" Saying so, Hong Dali turned around and asked Tang Muxin, "Xinxin, I want a direct translation, word by word!"
"OK!" Tang Muxin grinned and said, "Close My Bird Thing."
"Yup." Then, he turned towards James and, word by word, said, "Close my bird thing!" In the end, he didn't forget to add, "UNDERSTAND?"
"You! Do you know that you are making the whole Hollywood your enemy!?" James angrily said, "Over there, everyone has to respect me. Even those film magnates don't dare to speak to me like this! Even the honorary mayor of Hollywood has to show respect to me! We have a deep foundation and heritage in fashion and strong technologies to support us. We're the role model that everyone around the world sought to copy from. A lot of celebrities in your country wish to be able to advance to Hollywood even if they have to bribe us!"
Actually, speaking of which, everyone present didn't have any good impression of this James. All of them disliked him.
"You're making the entire Hollywood your enemy!" James gritted his teeth and said, "I promise! From now on, any movie related to you will never be able to enter Merika! Not possible!"
"Oh, actually, I have some words for you too." Hong Dali grinned and said, "Don't put up a front, or lightning will strike you." After saying this, Hong Dali sniffled and added, "Also… Who set the rule that Hollywood must be in Merika?"A literal translation of 'How is this my problem'
