Chapter 1085 Speak Kind Words when They Are Useful, but Be Cruel when They Are Useless
How could Taylor Garnell dare to order Li Changheng to do something, he quickly shook his head and said with a smile, "Boss, you and Your Highness are the protagonists today, you just need to be interviewed by the media.
For other things, I will make arrangements with United Artists. As for security issues. "
After speaking, Taylor took a few glances at Barney next to Li Changheng, and Barney nodded to himself when he saw the paralyzed Barney. Taylor then nodded in response with a smile, and stopped talking about security issues.
Of course, it is impossible for Li Changheng to hand over security matters to Taylor, and it is even impossible for Taylor and Citigroup to get in touch with security matters.
Looking at his watch, it was almost 7:30, and he couldn't help but asked Taylor curiously, "Is anyone here early?"
Taylor's face suddenly showed a complacent expression, and he looked at Li Changheng with admiration and even surrender.
My young boss, at this time in the political and business circles of the United States, not to mention his hands and eyes, can do whatever he wants.
But it can be regarded as taking everything from top to bottom, and everyone wants to know and make friends with him.
"Citigroup has Chairman Alan Gay and 7 members of the board of directors here, plus Payne from Boyin and Brett, president of Grumman, only Morgan's people have not yet come.
However, Esther Duvall from GM is here just before 7 o'clock, and it looks like he wants to talk to you. "
Li Changheng chuckled, but didn't say much.
This made Taylor, who was curious just now, feel a little helpless and could only continue, "Randall Hearst of the media group, Andre Rockefeller and his son, brought several family successors from Boston and Texas. Also arrived early in the morning.
There are also Admiral Kenny Robin of the National Guard, Admiral Laverne Burner of the Navy, James Mercado, Chief of the Joint Staff of the Armed Forces, and more than a dozen Navy generals and colonels are all wearing civilian clothes.
As for the nobles in England, Lord Mountbatten should be here soon, and the others,,. "
"Stop, stop", Li Changheng quickly interrupted Taylor's words. If he kept talking, he might not be able to finish talking in ten minutes.
He simply went into the theater and greeted the guests who had already arrived.
Moreover, the reporters in the media area not far away had already waited impatiently and kept calling their names and Annie's.
He waved to Taylor and the Citigroup staff, "You and the others can go about your business, Annie and I don't need you to follow."
Then he led Annie to the interview area, turned his head to Barney and confirmed again, "Is the anti-sniper team in place?"
Because Li Changheng has an inexplicable ability to perceive danger, he is actually not afraid of gunmen at close range.
Even if he didn't completely dodge the pistol shooting, but with his physical fitness, the lethality of the pistol bullets to him should be much lower.
But dedicated sniper bombs are hard to say.
This thing hit the hand and broke the hand.
Hit the leg, broke the leg.
Even if you are lucky, there will definitely be a blood hole, so Li Changheng is more worried about snipers within 100 meters.
"Don't worry, BOSS," Barney said solemnly, "This time we not only mobilized 200 knight shields and more than 200 casual clothes from DEA.
The Corleone family, Lao Tu, and Bonaparte's subordinates were also on guard around the theater.
Moreover, Sir Harry Hart from England will use his status as a nobleman to protect you and Her Royal Highness Anne at close range in the venue. "
Hearing this, Li Changheng smiled in satisfaction.
Nodding to Barney, he appeared in the media area with Annie on his arm.
For so many years, because he doesn't like dealing with reporters, even the reporters under Hearst have not been able to interview Li Changheng.
But this time, he can't accept an interview. After all, Li Changheng really hopes that the movie he and Annie made will break through 300 million at the box office.
150 to 200 million in the United States, and 150 million overseas.
In order to achieve this goal, Li Changheng was the first to ask a reporter from an island country to ask questions.
The population of the island country exceeded 100 million in 1970, and the box office champion in 1974 was 2.7 billion yen, which was almost 13.6 million in US dollars.
It can be said that as long as the reports sent back by the media of the island countries are strong, the curiosity of the island people about this movie will be aroused.
Then it is not difficult for the box office to break 15 million, or even 20 million US dollars.
Therefore, when Li Changheng faced the reporters from the island country, he not only had a very gentle attitude, but also communicated in the island language throughout the process.
After answering the reporter's questions, he shamelessly said a lot that he likes the island country and is optimistic about the island country's film and television industry and economy.
Then he also said that he had been to the island country for vacation and work several times and was quite happy.
After hearing this, ordinary people would only think that he really has a good impression of the island country.
But those island powers who have suffered a lot can definitely hear that this is a hidden threat.
The Miyagi Group was destroyed, and Hiroshi Miyagi and his son were killed.
More than a year ago, they even drove fighter jets and dropped more than a dozen aerial bombs on the mainland of the island country.
It can be said that Li Changheng is definitely the only person who has really attacked the mainland of the island country in the past 20 years.
In addition, in the Atlantic City project, after Li Changheng cheated the island power, he made a one-time profit of 600 million U.S. dollars, and backhandedly drove the island power out of Atlantic City.
It was the only time in these years that he turned his back on his word and did not speak morally or credit.
But the more this is the case, the more many island people worship him.
Later, Li Changheng said in an affirmative tone that he and Citigroup will increase investment in the island country in the future.
Those island country reporters whose faces were flushed with excitement almost touched their knees with their heads when they bowed in thanks.
And the other reporters, because they couldn't understand the island language, not only didn't feel that they were underestimated, but they were extremely curious about what they said in the conversation just now.
Then the interview got on the right track. I heard someone asking about the box office. Li Changheng did not hide it this time. Instead, he said it directly, expecting the global box office to exceed 300 million US dollars.
All of a sudden, the reporters took a breath and began to discuss.
The box office in the United States has exceeded 100 million. Many media and reporters actually don't find it difficult.
After all, Li Changheng and Annie are more famous than any Hollywood star.
Now Roman Holiday is a love story based on the personal experience of the two of them. Not to mention young people, even middle-aged people are very curious.
I want to see how they got to know each other, and what they experienced in Rome that year before they came together.
In addition, major media reported on film-related topics every three days or so, which not only saved United Artists a lot of publicity costs, but also made most Americans unable to know.
But in this era when Hollywood is suppressed by European films, it is very, very difficult for the overseas box office to break 150 million or 200 million.
And Li Changheng is so confident. In addition to the theater operators in various countries, they are also optimistic about Roman Holiday. Li Changheng not only did not try to squeeze the profits in the box office this time, but instead gave up 3% to 5% of the profits to the theaters.
