After the activity of Peanut Stew has temporarily fallen behind, Yi Huirong and Wu Zhibing will return to Canada.

Gao Xian asked Yi Huirong, "the 27th of this month is the Spring Festival. When will you go back to Xiangjiang?"

Yi Huirong hesitated and replied, "I don't want to go back. Canada is relatively quiet and just concentrate on my schoolwork."

Seeing the regretful look on the high string face, Wu Zhibing joked aside: "if you can't bear it, you'll often walk to Canada."

Gao Xian turns around and thinks that Yi Huirong is better in Canada. She has no competitors to worry about, and she can save some worry.

When they parted at the airport, Gao Xian was surprised to see that Chen Xiangmei also came and looked like Yi Huirong.

Gao Xian couldn't help wondering. "When did the friendship between the two become so good?"

However, Gao Xian could not help it. After listening to the content of the dialogue for a while, he understood the general reason.

Chen Xiangmei's grandfather, Liao fengshu, and revolutionary founder Liao Zhongkai were close brothers; Liao Chengzhi, the son of Liao Zhongkai, is an important leader in charge of overseas Chinese Affairs in China.

Yi Huirong's father, Yi Mingzhe, has a close relationship with the senior management of Yanjing; What's his relationship with Liao Chengzhi? You can tell by looking at the origin of the famous garden hotel in Yangcheng.

Gao Xian suddenly realized that apart from "the world is very big and the circle is very small", where can we distinguish "Temple" from "Jianghu"? In the final analysis, it should also be implemented to the thickness of contacts and value.

Chen Xiangmei is exquisite in all aspects. I don't forget to say kindly to Gao Xian, "if David needs my help in the future, don't hesitate to ask."

Although he knew it was impossible to help in vain, Gao Xian still said sincerely, "then I'll thank Ms. Chen in advance."

……

Yi Huirong and Wu Zhibing returned to Canada by plane. Gao Xian didn't stay too much in Peanut Stew. They flew directly from the east coast of the United States to the west coast of the United States.

Gao Xian has a lot to deal with in Los Angeles.

First of all, the US Ministry of Commerce will officially announce the implementation of a quota system for Asian textiles in the next few days. Gao Xian will wait for the boots to land at the office of Xiangjiang cotton textile industry association.

Secondly, Huanyu electronics and Ruixia, the general agent of the United States, have to discuss the next cooperation.

In addition, there is an independent film that has shot more than half but needs to be "cool". Wait for Gao Xian to decide whether to pick up the leak or not.

This is not enough, such as taking Linda and her children to Xiangjiang to reunite with Li Xiaolong and so on.

In Gaoyi American company adjacent to the office of Xiangjiang cotton textile industry association, Zhou Wenyao sent the picture frame, "boss, the picture frame has been made according to your size requirements."

Gao Xian took out several photos. First, he took a group photo of himself and Nixon and carefully framed it.

"Is this the president of the United States?" Zhou Wenyao was surprised. Although he knew that his boss had gone to the White House for a dinner, he didn't expect to bring back such a famous house.

Gao Xian pointed to the photo and asked with a smile, "is it evil?"

Zhou Wenyao nodded again and again, "not only to suppress evil, but also to attract money."

Gao Xian was so amused that he laughed that he didn't believe that the Americans were three friends of old age. It was just another form of worship of power and authority.

At this time, the front desk called to report that a filmmaker named Tom Laughlin came to the boss.

Zhou Wenyao said, "boss, this Tom Laughlin is the western star you told me to find."

"However, I have repeatedly verified that the film Billy Jack being produced by Tom Laughlin has been abandoned by American International Film Company and 20th century fox. The boss should be careful."

"If others don't think highly of it, we will have a chance." Gao Xian sighed and asked uncertainly, "Billy Jack is really so disgusting? Don't you even give us the least chance to finish the production?"

Zhou Wenyao replied in a positive tone: "the two film companies really quit halfway. It is said that the difference is that there are too many violent elements and the theme of Zhengzhi involved is not pleasant."

"This is a kung fu film with a lot of violence?" Gao Xian raised his eyebrows and said in his heart, are Hollywood executives squeezed so flat by the rise of the TV industry.

Gao Xian told Zhou Wenyao to pay special attention to Billy Jack because he knew that the film was a small foreshadowing before Li Xiaolong's Kung Fu film shook Hollywood.

Billy Jack is also a kung fu film, just "Aikido" Kung Fu. It tells the story of a man named Billy Jack who uses "Aikido" Kung Fu to fight against injustice.

If there is anything special about Billy Jack, it is that its protagonist Billy Jack is rarely set as the Navajo people of the Native American nation, that is, the tribe that transmits military information in its own mysterious language in the Hollywood film the Whisperwind directed by John Woo.

Another special thing is that Billy Jack's goal is to fight against injustice. He is a "counter mainstream" student in a relatively closed school. Because these children were bullied and bullied by evil forces, Billy Jack stood up and hurt the killer.

The reason why executives in power in Hollywood see Billy Jack badly is that the film is quite different. Even if they regard the American Aborigines who were almost killed in the colonial period as the protagonist, they are still "anti mainstream".

This is the difference between Gao Xian and Hollywood. He can see that the "anti mainstream" culture of overthrowing authority in the world is indeed popular at this stage. One of the manifestations of the United States is to change its attitude towards the Vietnam War from "actively participating in the war" to "resolutely opposing the war".

Billy Jack's box office of more than 30 million US dollars shows its market value.

You know, the annual box office champion record of this era is still a long way from US $100 million.

Perhaps the "anti mainstream" of Billy Jack will really make the environment in the United States disharmonious, but what does it have to do with Gao Xian, an outsider? As long as he returns on investment and accumulates funds quickly.

When he met Tom Laughlin, the western star, Gao Xian told him directly, "the reason why I am interested in Billy Jack, which you wrote, directed and acted by yourself, is because I have invested in a kung fu film and want to feel the situation from Billy Jack."

Tom Laughlin looked away from the group photo of Gao Xian and Nixon, nodded and said, "I see. The shooting budget of Billy Jack is 800000 US dollars. If Gao is willing to invest 100000 US dollars, he can get a 15% box office return."

The high string face showed an unhappy color and said, "Laughlin, you are bullying me. Don't you know the situation? You are the director, screenwriter and hero of Billy Jack, and the heroine is your wife Taylor. You told me that the shooting budget is really flexible."

"In addition, there must be a reason why American International Film Company and 20th Century Fox gave up Billy Jack one after another. I have to consider the risks."

"Maybe you can tell me that the other investors you found before you came to me were very kind."

Tom Laughlin's waist collapsed slightly, lowered his voice and asked, "so, what are the high conditions?"

Gao Xian said without doubt: "give me a 30% box office return. After signing the contract, you can take the check for 100000 dollars on the spot."

"In other words, the speed at which you get the money you need to restart Billy Jack depends on the speed at which you figure out what's at stake."

Tom Laughlin's face struggled for a moment, and finally nodded and gave in: "well, just follow the high requirements."

Looking at the back of Tom Laughlin leaving with the lawyer, Gao Xian said to himself with regret for Ma Yongda who stayed in Xiangjiang at this time: "brother Yongda, you are so interested in movies, but why do you always miss opportunities."
