Chapter 54 Xuelin

"Sir, are you really planning to invest 10 million US dollars? Oh, that's great." George Lucas is already preparing to film "Star Wars 2". Now the special effects have hit a bottleneck, and An Yifei's investment is like a timely help.

"Yes, George, but I don't have much time to manage it. You have to know that my current main careers are all in Hong Kong."

"Okay, An, but I still have to give you 60% of the shares. You should know that friends, we need to invest continuously before we can make a profit. As a future boss, it is your responsibility to find more money." Lucas, who is square, unceremoniously removed his courage and threw it to An Yifei. For a director like him, business and financing are shortcomings.

An Yifei looked around with a wry smile at the mess of Industrial Light and Magic, unable to imagine how it would become a world-renowned special effects company in the future. But he still called Wendy in front of Lucas, and told her to buy Industrial Light and Magic and ask her to send someone to take charge of financial and other management matters.

After inviting a group of technical scholars in the company to have dinner, An Yifei was loved by everyone. What's more, he could also express a bunch of fresh ideas that make people shine?

After the banquet, An Yifei came to the living room of Lucas's detached house. The two continued to discuss things as if they were old.

"George, you're right. We're going to continue to stay in Silicon Valley. There are computer talents everywhere here, and related technology has also made rapid progress, which can provide continuous support for future special effects."

"This is of course, so I plan to buy the current company building. An, are you planning to buy Hollywood theaters or pure film companies? Actually, this is not a difficult thing, the difficulty lies in operation."

"Don't worry, George. The one who bought a pure film company was a Cayman offshore company, and the one who bought a theater company would be an offshore company in the Virgin Islands. Haha, antitrust law? Can it be so wide?"

The entire 1970s to the mid-1980s were Hollywood nightmare periods. In this era, a large number of celebrities died or retired from film, such as Ingrid Bergman, Audrey Hepburn, etc. However, new alternative characters did not appear, resulting in a vacuum period of more than ten years.

In the early 1980s, when buying assets in any industry could be considered as buying at the bottom, An Yifei, who did not intend to eat a fat man, bought a small film company in George Lucas and renamed it DreamWorks. His current focus is not on the United States, but is just used to shoot some classics and packaging Hong Kong films, and the company does not need to be very big.

Then his main purpose was to acquire theaters. In this era of economic downturn and the film market continued to sluggish, the US dollar that An Yifei had scattered seemed extremely cute in the eyes of the theater owners. Therefore, the Hong Kong dollars continuously produced by the Tamsui Factory became fixed assets in the United States in circles, and did not give it a chance to depreciate.

The purchase of the film company was very smooth, but in order to buy those theaters, the negotiation team sent by Wendy had negotiated for more than two months before they won the two originally independent theaters together and merged into a theater film company named "Blackstone" by An Yifei. Blackstone Financial Investment Company was upgraded to Blackstone Industrial Investment Company, becoming a comprehensive investment company.

Although he has made a lot of efforts to acquire theaters, once he has taken it down, it will be another money printing machine. Even though he knows that "Black Stone" and "Dreamworks" are actually An Yifei's companies, he has not violated the US monopoly law on the surface. This is one of the functions of offshore companies, which makes many American departments have to stare at them.

Zhang Manyu had already returned to Hong Kong. She knew what An Yifei was busy with. Not only her, but the others Ah Hong, A Lian and Azhi all knew that he was doing serious business, so they all cooperated to make the Hong Kong area well so that he could not be distracted.

While the theater acquisition was still negotiating, An Yifei did not wait stupidly, but instead found Chris, the original director of "Baby Zhiduoxing", who is still very unsuccessful now. Then he threw the written English script to him.

"Oh my God, An, I think this movie will definitely cause a sensation. Oh, I have to choose some good actors for it."

"That's your business, Chris, it's summer now. You're starting to prepare for the local language. I think I'll take a photo of the outdoor snow scene and it will be released before Christmas."

DreamWorks CEO An Yifei did not go to find those awesome figures in history. An Yifei, who has always valued girls over men, was a professional white-collar worker who graduated from the University of California, named Helen. In fact, after all, he needed to be an obedient secretary. Because as long as he wanted, he had countless movies to shoot, the main focus was on theaters.

So as the company's first movie, and An Yifei is not short of money and has nothing to do, DreamWorks began to turn around "Baby Zhiduoxing".

"The choice is good, Chris. This young man is great." While the theater negotiations were still arguing, An Yifei came to the filming scene. Although she could not shoot outdoor snow scenes for the time being, it did not affect a large number of indoor scenes. The starring young actor made An Yifei feel familiar, and she looked even more cute than the original one, so she couldn't help but praise her.

The handsome guy who took a set of shots came to An Yifei with his parents and directors, "Hello, sir. Are you the producer of this film?"

An Yifei shook hands with the little boy in surprise as if he was an adult, "Hello, young man. He performed well, oh, what's your name?" The boy's parents smiled and looked at their own baby. They were very confident in their son.

"Leonardo, Sir. Leonardo DiCaprio"

Quickly suppressing the surprise, An Yifei nodded with a smile, "You can call me An, Mr. Leonardo, I think you will succeed, believe me."

Seeing the future actor was just the first surprise. Then, An Yifei felt very familiar with the little actor who played the little girl's sister, so she took the initiative to come forward and asked, "Can you ask your name?"

The little beauty seemed to know An Yifei's identity and replied with a little excitement: "Xuelin Fen, you can call me Xuelin."

An Yifei was shocked and noticed that she was indeed the actress who was known as the last classical beauty in Hollywood. Since Hollywood in the 1980s and early 1990s was still not very prosperous, she later became a porn star. But her reputation was actually because she defeated other actors and became the starring actor of "The Legend of Elizabeth Taylor". Being able to play "Yu Po" shows how beautiful she is, and thus she has won the glory of one of the top ten most beautiful women in the world.

"Oh, listen to your accent with some of the endings from Detroit, why did you come to Hollywood?"

The girl looked at An Yifei with her beautiful dark blue eyes, "Sir, I started shooting commercials since I was a very young man. This time the director chose me."

An Yifei glanced around her and did not find that her family was accompanied. As a stranger, her despicable mentality broke out. After the obscure hint, the girl readily agreed to his invitation to eat.

Nearly 175 cm tall and beautiful retro face, if you take nostalgic black and white photos, you will definitely not be any worse than any previous actress, and it is still so pure. An Yifei can only think of this 15-year-old girl, and she can only think of a sentence from later generations: "Loli's appearance and devil's figure."

"I gave me very little role during the summer vacation. You know, Mr. An, my father is a jazz singer, and my mother was a keyboardist before. In Detroit, most children have the desire to leave their families and become independent, and I am no exception. So, I only asked my mother's advice in this movie, but it was actually my own decision."

Girls have dignified and elegant Western food, and it seems that their family education is very good. An Yifei certainly knows the city that declared bankruptcy in his era. Although it is still prosperous with the automobile industry today, public security is one of the worst places in the United States.

"Xuelin, you have a unique beauty. This is your capital. If you want, I can provide you with good conditions. It only depends on whether you... are interested."

"Are you planning to raise me?" The girl looked at An Yifei with a smile. Of course, she understood that her capital was born with beauty. In addition, the boy opposite was not annoying. On the contrary, she, who has a little Hungarian descent, liked his face very much. "I just went to high school this year, maybe..., maybe I really need help. Because my family is very poor."

"You can go to high school in a noble school. I want to buy a beach villa in Los Angeles, but my career is all in Hong Kong, so once I buy it, it will be empty. Would you like to live in?"

"Well, can you go and see my mother? You know, she is my guardian after all, I'm sorry. My mother took me and my brother to wander around many cities and suffered a lot. Although we are more like friends now, we can't leave her alone, I... can't do it."

The 1960s in the United States were a chaotic period, and many people born in this era were called "born in the car". However, Xuelin's mother now looks very intellectual. With the turning of social morality, these hippies at the time were already reflecting on their past actions, and most of them were struggling at the bottom of society.

Xuelin's mother is named Erin. Although she was once a hippie-style keyboardist, she was born in a traditional family. After giving up the hippie-style style, she returned to the original state of being a master. Because she had not become famous for playing music for many years, and she grew older, she wandered around with her children after divorce to find vitality. After settling in Los Angeles three years ago, she played supporting roles in many movies to support her family.

Xuelin's brother was already eighteen years old and had already gone independent and rarely came back. Therefore, An Yifei's arrival made Ailin, who was struggling in life, feel a little flattered.

Xuelin looks very similar to her mother. This woman under 40 reminded An Yifei of her former self and sighed secretly: "No matter which country, the poor are poor. In the United States, it is more difficult to find food in the hands of major consortiums."

"An, I agree with your arrangement for Xuelin. You know, now I have only more than one hundred dollars left on me, and there is no place for the rent of the house. If you agree, can you allow me to move to live with Xuelin?"

"Of course, ma'am. I don't know what major you studied in college in the early years. My company is acquiring two theaters. Now I am missing the candidate to help me keep an eye on it."
