This is a decision that both sides make profits. The United States is a society that prioritizes interests. In general social activities, economic interests play the most central role, even in the presidential election or the congressional election.

The 1996 Olympics were entirely hosted by private institutions, so they had to raise all the expenses themselves, no matter how much or how little they would not let them go. The public relations department strives for all possible opportunities to increase revenue for the organizing committee and invites Chen Kangjie and others to Atlanta, which is the credit of the Public Relations Department of the Atlanta Olympic Organizing Committee.

This is naturally beneficial to Chen Kangjie. First, it is to be able to get closer to the Olympic Organizing Committee. Second, you can adapt to the venue. Third, before the main venue of the Olympic Games has been officially put into use, you can put it on the screen first. This publicity effect is very good.

The filming of Haynesville has not been completely finished and will be back. Tom Hanks, Robin, and Wright Pan still has many scenes here, but since the Olympic Village can only enter the filming period for this period, they can only interrupt this side and go to the scene there first.

After the crew arrived in downtown Atlanta, all staff were arranged to live in Westin Peachtree Plaza, where Chen Kangjie lived last time, at 210 Peachtree Street.

There are many big stars in the crew. They are not short of money, but there are also many supporting actors and ordinary staff. These people are not all that rich. They did not expect that dozens or hundreds of people would stay in such a high-end hotel when they came to Atlanta. Because the decoration is luxurious and expensive, many of them will lose their salary for a month after staying for three nights. As for the rewards of supporting actors, it may not be enough to stay for one night.

This is a reward from Chen Kangjie. He loved it when he stayed here last time. The entire hotel is inlaid with glass and crystal clear, especially the 27-meter (90-foot) ceiling lighting lobby and a multi-story rotating restaurant on the top, which offers spectacular city views.

Whether you walk on Taoshu Street or Chuntian Street, you will be able to reach the Olympic Village and Olympic Park in a short time to go north.

On that day, McCree, the manager of the Public Relations Department of the Olympic Organizing Committee, came to the hotel to visit Jedica because they were connected.

Americans don’t have so much courtesy in their work. McCree only brought an assistant and a clerk, and would not be a large group of people like in China. After an hour of negotiation with Jedica, they signed a contract for $2.4 million to lend the venues and facilities in the Olympic Village to the crew for 7 days of filming.

This price is really high, almost $350,000 a day, which is enough to make an average movie in Hong Kong.

However, people are not without benefits. In the Olympic Park, all crew members can leave a brick with their own names and dates of birth. These bricks will be laid horizontally on the floor of the Olympic Park and kept forever. The national flag of the country where the donor is located will always fly in the Olympic Park even after the Olympics. In addition, Georgia Institute of Technology can also mobilize 2,000 civilian students to serve as extras and sit in the stands of the stadium. These students are part of the nearly 50,000 volunteers recruited by the Olympic Organizing Committee, which is a small test for them.

Chen Kangjie didn't care about money. He just thought it would be a good opportunity to come here in advance to experience it. After the agreement was signed, McCree said he wanted to visit Chen Kangjie, but he refused.

Unless it is Penn, chairman of the Olympic Organizing Committee, no one else is interested.

That night, Bob and Chen Kangjie had dinner together in the multi-functional restaurant on the top floor of the Peach Tree Plaza Hotel. Bob asked Chen Kangjie about the follow-up situation.

He hasn't received Zhao Zhibang's reply yet, so he can't help but choose to continue waiting for the news.

Early the next morning, the crew entered the Olympic Village. Many places in the Olympic Village have not been installed yet, and some places are still mud. Fortunately, the greening has been done almost the same. The main stadium of Oripik has been built. After Chen Kangjie and the others have finished using it, many facilities will be installed, and preparations must be made in advance for the opening ceremony.

On this day, the crew was divided into two groups, one group went to Georgia Tech for filming, and the other group went to the main Olympic Stadium for arrangements, preparing for the shooting of Forrest Gump becoming a football star in two days.

To complete this shooting, through Bob's relationship, all the players and substitutes of the Atlanta Falcons, established on June 30, 1965, will play the competition.

The Atlanta Falcons belong to the Southern Division of the National Football League (NFC), and the team has achieved very ideal results so far. In 1966, they advanced to the SuperBowl, but their results have been rising. In another three years, they will win the National Rugged League championship.

The National Football League is National Football League, referred to as NFL. There are 32 teams in the league and are divided into two major confederations: the American Football Conference (AFC, AFC) and the National Football Federation (NFC, NFC). It is not easy to win the championship here.

Bob is now an upper class person. American football is as popular as football in Europe. It is super popular. Most Americans love this sport. Bob is naturally a fan, but he is just a fan of the San Francisco 49ers, but this does not prevent him from knowing Atlanta boss Denise DeBartolo York.

All American teams are privately owned. The purpose of these businessmen owning a team is to make profits, and Bob is the one who can bring them benefits, so he will naturally help.

On the first day, Chen Kangjie filmed two scenes at the Georgia Institute of Technology. When Forrest Gump was driven into the second half of a football field by a bad classmate, he had to go back to Haynesville to shoot in the first half.

After returning to the hotel after working hard for a day, news finally came back from Zhao Zhibang.

"Xiaojie, this matter is not easy to deal with. The comrade of the Sports Committee told me that according to the regulations of the International Olympic Committee, all athletes participating in the competition must meet the A-level standards for choosing the event, and at least they must meet the B-level standards. If you didn't participate in any competition, you gave up on the qualifiers, you would have no results at all." Zhao Zhibang said first when the phone was answered.

"Uncle Zhao, I know this. If it weren't for this, why would I look for you? The guys from the Sports Committee are probably lazy or shirking responsibility. Otherwise, why would others have the means to do it? They would have no choice." Chen Kangjie is no stranger to domestic bureaucracy, and it will be very serious ten years later.

"They didn't say there was no way. After my questioning, they said there was another opportunity. It took both sides to do their jobs." Zhao Zhibang also knew about the bureaucracy in China, but he had no choice but to discuss the matter. That would not be changed in a short time.

"Haha, it's a good thing to have a solution. What's the solution? Uncle Zhao, tell me quickly, just do work, no problem." Chen Kangjie was happy when he heard that there was a solution and was no longer dissatisfied with the officials.

"The International Olympic Committee also has a way to deal with special circumstances, that is, if no athlete in a country meets the A and B standards required for participation, one person can be allowed to play on behalf of the country, but this still requires the invitation from the host country," said Zhao Zhibang.

"This,, why does this need the invitation from the host country?"

"Because the quota is limited, the comrades from the Sports Commission reported that the International Olympic Committee stipulates that a country that meets the A target can send three athletes to the competition. In one or two hundred countries and regions around the world, three athletes can meet the A target, which has squeezed out a part of the quota. Therefore, it can be regarded as giving the host country certain privileges, just like athletes in the host country can participate in all events." Zhao Zhibang also had the opportunity to understand these things for Chen Kangjie.

"Oh, I understand, that means I still have to do American work," Chen Kangjie nodded on the phone.

"That's what we mean. We can also help you with work, but we can't guarantee that we will succeed. After all, this Olympics is hosted by a private organization. By the way, where are you now?" It's easier to deal with the government. When the government and the government are dealing with the private, there will be no confidence in either side. Zhao Zhibang didn't say enough.

Even Zhao Zhibang felt that Chen Kangjie was so rich, it would be much easier to deal with privately and privately.

"I'm in Atlanta and I'm just going to the Olympic Village today," Chen Kangjie replied.

"Ah, you've all gone to the Olympic Village, you've talked to them."

"No, I'm going to film, and I haven't gotten any information from you yet. What should I talk to them? Let's go back and let me get in touch with them."

"Xiaojie, if you contact them, you have to pay attention to your identity." Zhao Zhibang mentioned.

Chen Kangjie's identity is very sensitive, especially his identity as a rich man. This cannot be revealed casually, otherwise there will be international turmoil, so Zhao Zhibang reminded me.

"Uncle Zhao, I understand. Thank you. I will pay attention. I will say what should be said, and I will not say what should not be said. Don't worry."

"Be careful when you are outside, protect yourself. If you have anything, remember to find the embassy, ​​they will help you," Zhao Zhibang said with concern.

"I understand, Uncle Zhao, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Kangjie was thinking that if he said that, he would inevitably be slaughtered by the United States unless he did not participate. As for how deep this knife could be slaughtered, Chen Kangjie didn't know for the time being. It seemed that he could only meet Penn and give him a "sky asking price and paying it back on the spot" first.
