Chapter 96 96. I am the one who took it off!

In an apartment in the wealthy area of ​​Yanjing.

Liu Yifei, who will be 16 in two months, is curled up on the sofa, holding a large cup in her hand. Inside the cup is a pyramid salad made of various fruits such as bananas, apples, and papayas.

What was being played on TV was her first work, "The Story of a Noble Family", or to be more precise, her first film and television work.

After all, she had shot an advertisement before, as a spokesperson for her godfather Chen Jinfei's Jinfei Apartment.

Looking at Bai Xiuzhu in the picture, Liu Yifei couldn't help but smile, as if she remembered what happened during the filming, but after a while she suddenly became expressionless, just like Bai Xiuzhu in the picture.

"Mom, come here for a moment."

Hearing her daughter's voice, Liu Xiaoli came out of the kitchen: "What's wrong?"

"Mom, you have been an actor. I want to ask you if acting skills are important for an actor?"

Liu Xiaoli was stunned: "Ah? Why are you asking this?"

"I just really want to know, when you look at Bai Xiuzhu, many people on the Internet say that she is very beautiful, but many people also say that she can't move, has no expression, and has no acting skills at all."

"Also when we were filming Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, Director Zhang first asked me to learn from Hong Kong actress Li Ruotong, but then when filming started he asked me not to make facial expressions. He meant that maybe my acting was too bad."

Liu Xiaoli didn't know how to answer her daughter's question.

Seeing that her mother didn't say anything, Liu Yifei was not stupid, so she naturally understood what her mother meant.

She said with some distress: "Mom, do you think I should study hard at Beijing Film Academy for two years to improve my acting knowledge?"

"You and Godfather always told me not to interact too much with my classmates. Now I don't have many friends in school. After class, others gather in groups to discuss and exchange ideas, but I can only go back to the dormitory or go home."

"I think I should integrate into this big group. I don't want to be an outsider. This feeling is similar to going to school in the United States. Those white and black kids don't like to play with me."

Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter strangely: "Fei Fei, what's wrong with you today? Why are you so strange? Don't think about these problems. You are already well-known now. You will definitely be a big hit when Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils is released."

"You are no longer the same as your classmates in school. Who are they? They have only filmed a few movies. Even if they have, have they become famous?"

"After the special period is over, let your godfather find some high-quality resources. After filming one or two TV series, we will enter the big screen."

"As for the music industry, your godfather can get in touch with Sony in RB and let Sony release your record. Then we can develop in Hollywood. Columbia Pictures is controlled by Sony."

"Fei Fei, you will become a Hollywood star and a world superstar in the future. Your classmates are just hanging around in the Chinese circle at most. What's the point of communicating with them? Be obedient and don't worry about these. Just listen to my arrangements."

Liu Yifei said "oh", and when she talked about Hollywood, she thought of the foreigner she met in the Forbidden City that day. Although he was very handsome, what he said was very hateful.

"Alright, alright, stop watching 'The Story of a Noble Family'. It only makes you daydream. Mom will change the channel for you."

Liu Xiaoli pressed the remote control and the TV screen jumped to Yanjing TV. It was noon and the noon news was being broadcast.

Our station reports for you: "At 9 a.m., the American MGM Films Company officially settled in Yanjing and will jointly establish the Oriental MGM Company with the Huaying Group, starting a cultural journey."

"MGM is a long-established American film and television production company that has produced classic films such as Gone with the Wind, Tom and Jerry, The Silence of the Lambs, and 007. It is a very powerful film company in Hollywood."

"The project is controlled by the Chinese side with a 51% stake and the U.S. side with a 49% stake. The first round of investment will reach $50 million. The areas of cooperation include film technology research and development, film and television production, copyright distribution, and derivative products."

"MGM Studios will also build a brand factory in Yanjing. The first phase of the factory will invest $40 million and is expected to create 2,000 jobs."

"At the same time, MGM will donate $2 million to China's anti-Africa cause, which reflects the social responsibility of a large company."

"Yanjing SJ Li XX, Yanjing SZ Qin XX, MGM Pictures Vice President Eric Cooper, and MGM China Head Susan Levine jointly pressed the project start button!"

If it were in the past, Liu Xiaoli would naturally not care about this kind of news. She didn't even watch the news at all. It was too far away from her.

But now it’s different. When they heard about MGM Studios, as people who have lived in America for nearly ten years, both mother and daughter knew that it represented the Big Seven of Hollywood, so they all stared at the TV screen.

Then the screen jumped to an interview with Eric, and Liu Yifei immediately pointed at the TV and shouted, "Mom, mom, look, it's that person, the one we met in the Forbidden City."

Liu Xiaoli also stared carefully with her eyes wide open. Before she knew it, the mother and daughter were almost lying on the TV. Only then did she make sure that she was not seeing things.

"How could this happen? This damn guy is actually the vice president of MGM! How could it be such a coincidence?"

After being surprised, Liu Yifei suddenly covered her mouth and widened her eyes: "Wait, Mom, do you remember what happened that day? Eric Cooper said that I can't go to Hollywood. Is what he said true?"

Liu Xiaoli also looked embarrassed. After Eric left that day, she cursed him countless times behind his back, but she didn't expect to be slapped in the face like this.

"Well, don't worry about it. Maybe he just said it casually. You know, some Americans have a sense of superiority, as if they are superior to others. In their eyes, Chinese, blacks, Indians, and Mexicans are all second-class citizens."

Liu Yifei made a far-fetched expression: "Really? But he also took photos for us that day and seemed quite friendly. He also suggested that if you want to go to Hollywood, you need to practice Kung Fu and acting skills. Maybe he has a point."

At this time, Liu Xiaoli was no longer listening to what her daughter was saying. Her eyes fell on the TV. Looking at Eric's young and handsome face, some thoughts emerged in her mind.

Picking up the phone, Liu Xiaoli dialed a number. In the past two years, she had attended many dinner parties with Chen Jinfei. Naturally, she had accumulated some connections of her own.

At the same time, the past two years have made Liu Xiaoli realize one thing, that is, the entertainment industry and ZT are the places where you can't have the least shame.

Why do some people only have one meal with those superiors? They may not even be the protagonist of the dinner, and the leader may not even remember your name, but they can still get things done.

The reason is that people dare to come forward. Even if they have only met you once, these people dare to visit you like old friends, and then spend a lot of money, and things will often be done.

The key lies in whether you dare to take this first step and whether you are willing to take it.

It is obvious that Liu Xiaoli is a woman who is very generous and a beautiful woman.

(PS: The author has indeed met such people around him.) Fengze Garden, second floor box.

Han Sanping and Zhou Xiaopeng were smoking with satisfaction on their faces. They had both drunk more than one and a half kilograms of alcohol, and the smell of alcohol had already reached their ears.

As soon as the project launch ceremony was held in the morning, MGM’s initial funding also arrived. The general trend has been set and the future is promising. This is another great achievement in the book of merit.

Originally, Eric had already had a farewell dinner with Li SJ and the others at noon, and was preparing to fly back to America in the afternoon.

However, Han Sanping and Zhou Xiaopeng forced him to stay, saying that they wanted to add another show in the evening. Eric couldn't refuse their kindness, so he decided to stay for another day.

The result is what is happening now. Even if he didn't drink white wine, Eric feels dizzy and a little dizzy now, let alone the two of them.

Especially Old Han, who has a generous personality. He might not be able to stop drinking after drinking two kilograms. Just look at the empty bottle next to him.

Now their lips are trembling, they can't speak clearly, and their hometown dialect keeps coming out.

Eric stood up and looked at the two people who were accompanying him: "Okay, let's stop here today. I'll leave Mr. Han and Director Zhou to you. I've drunk a lot too, so go to bed early."

After saying that, he didn't care that Han Sanping was trying to reach out and pull him, he just walked out of the box and took the elevator back to his room.

After taking a hot bath and lying on the bed, he received news from the United States every day about his scandal with Nicole Kidman, but now few media are following up on it.

After all, Nicole Kidman stayed indoors and never went out, and I was even more ruthless, simply running away abroad. Now new gossip has taken over the high ground.

For example, Halle Berry publicly admitted to the media that her husband had cheated on her and that they were about to divorce. This piece of gossip is now on the entertainment headlines, squeezing out Eric and Nicole.

The alcohol started to take effect and Eric fell asleep before he knew it.

In a daze, I seemed to hear a knock on the door.

Eric opened his eyes and realized that he was not dreaming. There was actually someone knocking on the door.

I checked the time and it was past midnight, almost one in the morning.

"What's going on? Who's knocking on the door in the middle of the night? Could it be that bitch Zhang Ziyi hasn't given up yet?"

I put on my slippers and walked to the door. I looked through the peephole and saw a tightly wrapped woman standing at the door. But from her figure I knew it was not Zhang Ziyi.

"Ma'am, you knocked on the wrong door. This is not your room."

"No, I didn't knock it wrong. You are Eric Cooper, the vice president of MGM. It's you I'm looking for."

The woman at the door took off her mask and glasses and said this. Needless to say, it was a familiar face. It must be Liu Xiaoli.

Eric was a little surprised. How did this woman know that he lived here and come to his door?

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"So it's you. Madam, I just said that your daughter is not suitable for a career in Hollywood. There is no need for you to seek revenge on me in the middle of the night."

"What do you want to do? Curse me? Beat me up? I warn you, this is a high-end place with surveillance."

Outside the door, Liu Xiaoli was speechless for a while, thinking, what's the point, how can a weak woman like me beat you? Or should I come alone in the middle of the night to take revenge on you, a strong man?

"Mr. Cooper, how could I possibly want to take revenge on you? I saw your news on TV today, and Feifei and I just recognized who you are."

"Thinking about what you said that day, I specifically asked about your hotel so that I could ask you some questions."

"Some questions about Hollywood, I think you can give perfect answers."

Eric then realized that it was because of the news. However, this woman dared to come to his house alone in the middle of the night with just one encounter. She was indeed ruthless and bold enough. This kind of person is born to be in the entertainment industry.

He was very clear about the other party's purpose. What a bullshit question. He was just trying to trick a kid.

"Ma'am, you came at a wrong time. Please leave. If someone sees you, it will cause misunderstanding."

"Besides, I have a flight to catch tomorrow morning, so I need to rest now. If you don't leave, I'm going to call the front desk."

"Wait, I have a business deal I want to discuss with you, a big deal." Liu Xiaoli said hurriedly outside the door.

Hearing about the big deal, Eric became more alert and asked, "What deal, and how much is it worth?"

"Sir, shouldn't you let me go in first? Is there anyone who wants to talk business through the door?"

Click.

Eric unlocked the door and let Liu Xiaoli in.

The other person also took off his coat and hat, and what he wore underneath was similar to what Zhang Ziyi wore that night, a tight sweater that showed off her figure.

Shaking her hair, Liu Xiaoli said, "First, let me introduce myself. My name is Liu Xiaoli, and the younger one is my daughter Liu Yifei, and her English name is Crystal Liu."

"I want to thank you for what happened that day at the Forbidden City. You took photos for my mother and me, but I didn't even have the chance to say thank you."

"You're welcome. It's nothing. I love helping people, especially beautiful women."

Liu Xiaoli immediately covered her mouth and laughed: "Are all American men so humorous? It seems that everyone can say these words to make women happy."

Looking at her middle-aged appearance but with a rosy smile on her face, her attitude was completely different from that day in the Forbidden City.

"Ms. Liu, if you have anything to say, please tell me now. It's really late. What project do you have?"

Seeing Eric was about to kick her out without saying a word, Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but curse in her heart: "Damn it, how could this happen? I have to go back to the United States tomorrow!"

The reason she came here tonight was just to seduce Eric and make this man covet her.

Late at night is when people's desires are strongest. Her years of dancing experience and beautiful face make her very confident in her charm.

But it's just seduction, it's impossible to let the other person eat it.

As long as you hook the other person and stretch him for a period of time, the man will naturally offer you benefits because of his eagerness and enthusiasm.

This method has always worked against men, she is very experienced. As for business, what business can she have? Chen Jinfei's is not hers, Liu Xiaoli's.

But once Eric leaves tomorrow, there’s no point in trying to get him back across the Pacific Ocean. Who knows, today might be our last chance, and by tomorrow morning the opportunity will be gone.

After gritting her teeth, Liu Xiaoli said, "Mr. Cooper, if Feifei wants to develop in Hollywood, can you help her?"

"I told you, if she practices her kung fu and acting skills well, she will be able to go," Eric said calmly.

"No, I mean can I give her some special care?"

"What do you mean? You don't want her to be the heroine directly? Or to tailor a work for her?"

"Is it okay?" Liu Xiaoli's eyes lit up.

"Of course not! Hollywood is not a charity. Judging from her performance in The Golden Age, her acting skills are not even as good as those of many extras. She is not qualified!"

"You!" Liu Xiaoli was furious.

"Ms. Liu, don't you think it's a bit abrupt to ask such a question on your second meeting? And let me tell you, American men are not humorous at all. They are more realistic than Chinese men!"

"Also, if you don't want your daughter to be a martial arts star, there is another way for her to be accepted by Hollywood, and that is to be a porn star. Are you willing to let her take off her clothes?"

In an instant, Liu Xiaoli was struck by lightning.

“Don’t look at me with such an ugly look, Ms. Liu. This is the reality there. If this is the business you want to discuss, then I can’t see any benefit from it. I really want to take a break.”

Eric ordered her to leave, but Liu Xiaoli didn't seem to want to leave.

She stared at Eric and suddenly said, "You can take it off."

"What!" This time it was Eric who was surprised.

"But I'm taking it off!"
