Keanu Reeves.

Don't mention anything else, not even personal relationships or anything like that.

Just saying this name is worth at least 20 million at the box office in Hollywood, right?

You don’t recommend me to use it?

"???"

His eyes were full of confusion, as if he had heard some joke.

Seeing this, Georgia was about to speak when the waiter had already brought over a bottle of wine.

The label looks quite old, but Xu Xin’s knowledge of red wine is limited to Lafite, and he really doesn’t know other labels.

So, Lao Qian did not answer, but checked the wine bottle and label with the waiter. After the waiter nodded and left, he started again:

"Xu, let's make the most benign estimate for your movie. It will be shot this year and released in the middle of next year. What do you think of this date arrangement?"

"No problem at all."

There are no particularly big scenes in "John Wick".

After seeing the industrial power of Hollywood, in his opinion, some scenes in the script were really at the level of drizzle.

However, he still didn't understand what Lao Qian wanted to say.

"Xu, you know, sometimes Hollywood is actually very small. It's like a circle~"

Old money has put a ring on Hollywood in the void.

Then he said:

"In the past two years, except for the movie "Man of Tai Chi" that Keanu got your guidance on, it was pretty good... Well, let's put it this way. If it hadn't been for your guidance, then the movie "Man of Tai Chi" would also have been pretty good...

It will definitely be ranked among the few films I mentioned below. NO.1..."

His left hand touched the index finger of his right hand.

Only then did Xu Xin notice that the ring on his left hand was not a wedding ring.

It is a ring that resembles a lion's head but also resembles the pattern of other beasts.

The moment he saw the ring, he thought of... I forgot who said it, men should wear different rings on different occasions.

Some rings are used to tell others that you have a wife.

And some rings tell others about the rights you have.

Now the ring on Lao Qian's hand obviously does not represent love. As for what it specifically represents, or what kind of status symbol it is... he doesn't know.

I'm too lazy to research.

He still wears the couple's ring on his hand that was made by a curved silversmith.

The beast's head shook slightly, and an unfamiliar movie title came out of Lao Qian's mouth:

""Forty-seven Samurai""

"NO.2, "Knock Knock Knock"."

"NO.3, "Exposure"."

"NO.4, "Behind the Truth"...and finally "The Man of Tai Chi", if he used the previous version of the script."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xin asked directly:

“What’s wrong with these movies?”

"Except for "Forty-Seven Samurai" and "Tai Chi", the other three films have been confirmed not to be released in theaters. Keanu has not been keen on big productions in recent years, but prefers independent films. I am

I have no objection to independent films. On the contrary, there are many independent films that are full of sincerity in my eyes. But... from the news I have received from various sources, next year, most of his films can be defined as bad films.

Among them, "Knock Knock" has been sold to many distribution companies, and it is a very low-level film. Some critics who have seen it even said that it deserves a Golden Raspberry."

"..."

Xu Xin didn't have any other expression on his face, he just nodded slightly and asked curiously:

"What about '47 Samurai'? Sounds like an RB movie?"

"Yes, that's right. RB's Warring States-themed fantasy film. With an investment of US$175 million, it will be released in October this year. But it has already had three rounds of preview screenings... Preview screenings are a tradition in Hollywood.

Especially Universal Pictures, they like to do test screenings and spread the word through the so-called audience..."

When he said the last sentence, he made a V with both hands to express the meaning of double quotation marks.

"To achieve a certain publicity effect. But unfortunately, I know some film critics and senior people who have a very keen sense of commercial films. After everyone saw the film, they gave me only one answer: George, if you

If there is a movie released at the same time as it, then congratulations to Paramount, you have won."

"..."

Xu Xin discovered that old money has a certain peculiarity in his speech.

That is... he likes to use his words to show his strength from more or less aspects.

Because he made himself understand what kind of resources he had in this circle.

Not to mention anything else, just being "quick in information" can show from the side how deep the connections he has accumulated are.

No wonder Yang Mi said that the old money in Hollywood look down on the "young money" who only use money to clear the way.

This kind of communication is really interesting.

But he also understood what Lao Qian wanted to say.

It means that next year gay brother will be "famous" because of a few movies.

But Xu Xin did not refute or say anything like "F@CK OFF".

Just nodded:

"I see."

No need.

He didn't intend to argue with the other party.

Just expressing my opinion:

"George, thank you for your advice."

At this moment, the waiter had already brought two plates of appetizers and bread, and the sommelier also came over.

Therefore, it is definitely impossible to talk about the new movie in front of outsiders.

The two of them changed the topic to "Perfect".

"Xu, "Perfect" will be released in theaters at the end of this month. Someone will give you the promotion plan in the next two days."

"Um."

Xu Xin nodded and took the cork handed over by the sommelier.

He actually doesn't understand...

Or serving wine, he understood. After all, something worth one dollar with a sense of ceremony can be sold for a hundred dollars.

It is a very important part of the economic theory of dog-licking.

But what’s so good about this wooden bottle stopper?

Isn't it just a pile of sawdust squeezed together to seal bottles?

No matter how you smell it, doesn't it smell like wood residue soaked in wine?

It's just that he is older... But doesn't Lao Qian know that he is from Shaanxi? If he really wants to smell the so-called smell of time and takes a few bites of the terracotta warriors and horses, it will be a killer!

He doesn't quite understand what this somewhat illusory sense of ritual is... Of course, it might just be because he's a bit rustic.

Moreover, even if you can't appreciate it, you still have to wear a mask and show some recognition.

"Hmm, it smells very good."

So, I donated my bottle of treasured old money and smiled a little.

Obviously the guests' compliments made him, as the "host", very happy.

After the sommelier opened the wine quickly and neatly, he exited gracefully.

The two of them also officially started eating.

Xu Xin tore a piece of warm bread and asked:

"George, piracy has actually appeared on the Internet."

"Yes, Xu, we have also noticed it. The earliest source of the film is with Korean subtitles, so it should be sourced from South Korea."

Old money is not surprised at all.

The same is true for Xu Xin.

He still remembered...probably when he was in junior high school or high school. At that time, there were people on the Internet who boasted about the copyright awareness and national quality of other countries except China.
