"Here they are." Li Zitao was digesting the information. Elan got up with a smile and met Lewis who was coming to him. "Hi, Lewis, how are you doing recently?"
"Of course, my friend, you look younger than ever." Louis laughs and hugs Elaine, and looks at Li Zitao beside him.
"This is Li, and he put forward the idea of Star Avenue." "He's my nephew, a wonderful young man," Elan said quietly
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Meyer." Li Zitao held out his hand with a smile.
"I'm just as happy, brilliant young man." Louis said with a playful look.
"Douglas, President of the college, I think you all know him." Louis introduced his companions. His handsome appearance easily won people's favor.
"Robin Hood, nice to meet you." Of course, Li Zitao knows Douglas van punk. He has seen Robin Hood starring the other side since he was a child in his previous life. He is very impressed.
"Hello, Li." Mr. Robin Hood responded.
"This way, please. I've got the reception room ready. It's not a good place to talk." As the host, Li Zitao took the lead to the reception room.
"Mr. Mayer, I think uncle Elaine has already talked about the idea of stars, so what's the idea of the college?" Both sides took the seats, Li said first.
"Li, I want to hear what you think." Louis leaned back in the chair with a restrained look.
"I will invest 5 million dollars to set up the Hollywood chamber of Commerce to be responsible for the construction of the avenue of stars. Every month, one star will be selected. They may come from various industries.
as long as the nature of his work is related to entertainment, we can list him as a candidate. Of course, who is the winner still needs to be decided by the college."
He did not intend to compete with the Academy for power and power. He only wanted to have some influence in Hollywood. As long as the Academy recognized the star award, he would no longer have no foundation in Hollywood.
"Why didn't the college set up the chamber of Commerce, which you funded and we managed and operated together?"
When hearing that Li Zitao plans to invest 5 million yuan, Lewis's eyes are obviously bright.
"So, Mr. Mayer, how much money can the college put in?" Li Zitao flashed a trace of haze under his eyes and leaned back quietly.
"The influence of the academy is the greatest value, Li, isn't it?" Louis had a brilliant smile.
"Lewis, we can all see the potential of the Academy, but it's not worth that much right now." Alan interjected, frowning.
"Elan, the Academy's influence and potential are rising rapidly. It will redefine Hollywood. Isn't that enough?" Lewis retorted.
Looking at Louis, whose face is full of aggression like a poisonous wolf, Li Zitao knows that there is no need to talk about it any more.
"I need to think about it, Mr. Meyer." He ordered the two men to leave.
When Louis Mayer and Robin Hood left, Li Zitao did not get up in his chair to see him off, which meant that the conversation between them had ended in bad faith.
"Mahdi, if you want to register a patent on the avenue of fame, any ground facilities with commemorative and medal situation should be included.
those with similar meanings such as Hollywood are also rushing to register. Don't care about money. You should know that for your boss, the most important thing is money. I need time."
Mahdi was always with him. When Li Zitao explained the avenue of stars for Elan, he also kept it in mind and naturally knew what to pay attention to.
"I'll call now." Mahdi said, went to the phone and dialed the number of the Chicago think tank.
"Lewis has become so arrogant." Elaine looked at him apologetically and said, "Charlie, if Lewis wants to steal your ideas, I'll use all my strength to stop him."
"Uncle Elaine, don't blame yourself. After all, not everyone in the world is called Rockefeller." Li Zitao quietly gave a kiss of flattery.
It can be seen that Elan is very helpful. He deeply worships old John and is always proud of Rockefeller's glory.
Keeping promises and supporting philanthropy are two of the Rockefeller family's proudest, at least they think.
"Boss, Ben has sent someone to deal with it." Mahdi is back.
"Well, I need you to stay here to do a few things, set up the Star Awards, set up the Hollywood chamber of Commerce, and meet with our honorary mayor to let him support the establishment of the Star Awards.
contact the actors, directors and editors guild. Hollywood needs more voices and choices, and tell them that I am willing to support the public facilities in Hollywood."
I don't believe that without butcher Zhang, I can only eat pigs with fur. The college has just been established for two years, and the first Academy Award has just been held. Who says that we can't start a new business?
Li Zitao hated Lewis's eyes, and the greedy desire to take the world for himself made him feel disgusted from the bottom of his heart.
"By the way, the news spread out that the star award is a lifetime honor. The chamber of Commerce will invest $10 million to set up a foundation to be responsible for the independent operation and special maintenance of the existence of the star award."After listening to Li Zitao's command, Mahdi did not leave immediately, instead, he suggested: "boss, in this case, why don't we set up a new college?"
Mahdi's suggestion stunned him, but then there was ecstasy, "yes! Why can't I set up a new college? How about Oscar? "
Li Zitao was stunned by his own ideas. It was Oscar!
"As long as people are convinced that it is fair, just and free from interests, who can say that it is impossible?" Mahdi put out his hand and laughed.
"Oscar, how about a pure gold trophy?" The material of the past Jin is always make complaints about the gold plating, and then it is directly painted with a layer of paint.
After a long time, some of the winners' little golden statues always change color due to oxidation, and finally have to find someone to repair them. You say it's not embarrassing.
"Well, it may take to hand over the power, but we can influence it from the dark through chambers of Commerce and foundations, which is not difficult."
As the chief lawyer of the think tank, Mahdi doesn't think it is difficult to do this. The influence of capital is everywhere. Who can say that the college is really fair and just?
"That's it. At the Academy Awards, the image is a little golden man with a fuzzy face, holding the torch high, representing honor and freedom,
best film, best script, best director, best performance, best photography, best artist, best music, best editing, best costume design, best make-up, best short film, best documentary, best foreign language film 。”
"Wait, and then set up the free Honor Award, special achievement award, and so on. We want to make the Oscar trophy more meaningful and give it a lofty concept and status."
"Bowl theater, the acquisition of bowl theater, to build Hollywood's most luxurious and influential Oscar Star Theater, which will become a star studded hall that everyone yearns for."
Li Zitao seems to open the brainstorming, watching two people, you and I talk about how to overturn the college, Elan beside listening is stunned.
"Charlie, it's just a small award. Do you need such a big investment?" Alan asked, frowning. He didn't think such a huge investment was worth it.
"Uncle Elaine, I am a modest man. When someone is arrogant in front of me, I will tell him with facts (money) what is due humility."
Li Zitao's words were so loud that he couldn't laugh or cry. He could only sigh in his heart, "am I old enough to keep up with the rhythm of young people's thinking."
"Boss, I'll do it now." After finalizing the plan, Mahdi rushed away with the team.
Li Zitao has explained many things, such as the establishment of theaters, chambers of Commerce, foundations and awards, as well as persuading numerous associations and the government for their support.
He intends to use all his strength to teach Lewis a profound lesson, so that he can clearly understand what is the anger of salted fish.
That night, Mahdi sent people to register the Hollywood chamber of Commerce, the starlight foundation, and the Academy Awards, and asked his men to choose the right office location.
Then he drove all night to Los Angeles to contact the governor, the senators and the mayor. He donated 5 million public facilities and 10 million maintenance foundation. This is not a small achievement, but also the Star Road, which can be remembered in history.
Hollywood will develop better in the future. The more attention is paid to the avenue of fame, their names will be mentioned by more and more people. This opportunity to be remembered is not much.
Besides, although there are not many residents in Hollywood, the influence of stars is huge. They can call on more fans to vote for a politician they "like".
So when the Hollywood chamber of Commerce was set up on Sunset Avenue the next day, in addition to Li Zitao attending the opening ceremony, there were also California governor Frances Edwards, Los Angeles Mayor Carl Madson, and California senior senator Clara disland.
Of course, we are the honorary mayor of Hollywood, garrio Trafford.
"The Academy Awards will be made of pure gold trophies to give the winners the honor they deserve Of course, these trophies are not allowed to be sold.
the reason why we want to build them with pure gold is not to consider the value of the trophies, but to enable the winners to retain the honor and commemoration for a long time... "
On the same day, all major media reported on it. Li Zitao and gario stood side by side, holding hands tightly and smiling brightly, occupying one third of the page.
In MGM's office, Louis Mayer slapped his newspaper hand on the table and growled: "damn asshole, it's a challenge to the Academy. He's starting a war. They're insulting movies and art with dirty money."
"But I have to say, he's really rich." Robin Hood on the other side shrugged.
"Tell our people not to contact them, otherwise the college will remove them." Said Louis viciously.
"Lewis, it's no use. They've already talked to several major guilds and are negotiating with the members of the jury. The first Academy Awards will open on February 1 next year,The best film, best script, best director, best performance, best photography, best art, best music, best editing, best costume design, best make-up, best short film, best documentary, best foreign language film, with its own honorary award and special achievement award. "
After finishing all the awards in one breath, van punk gasped: "my God! I'm suffocating. They've got a lot of awards
Compared with Academy Awards with best picture, best actor, best actress, best director, best screenwriter, best photography and best art design, the Academy Awards are too rich.
Even if two special awards are added: the art quality award and the technical effect award, the Academy Award is still superior to the Academy Award in terms of quantity alone.
"FK, Douglas, don't forget who you are. I made you, and I can destroy you." Angry roar came from the office, the staff outside quickly lowered their heads and trotted away from the battlefield.
