Chapter 116: The Friendship of Landlords

Although the Oscars ceremony ended a few days ago, people are still happy to talk about the experiences and gossip news is common. Occasionally, some of the indecisiveness of the private lives of several celebrities has flourished the American media industry.

Every Oscar presenter and final winner will show off the show with a large bag of gift bags worth tens of thousands of dollars after this super ceremony. The American Academy of Film Arts and Sciences is unwilling to reveal the secrets of the gift bag because it is the little secret of the dirty side of the Oscars, revealing the unquestionable public bribery side of celebrities. Large companies are competing to give Oscar nominees the latest products for free, and take advantage of the Oscar reputation and get a share of the pie if you have the chance.

On the third day after the Oscars, Li Siming rushed back to Hawaii and continued to shoot his unfinished films. Fortunately, he kept the time tight and the departments cooperated well, but he did not drag on the mud. At the filming site, he acted quickly and focused, and rarely gave orders to the staff or even his actors.

"Directors 80% of a movie is socializing, 20% of a skill, because if you can interact with people who know editing, people who know lighting, people who know performance, and if you can interact with all the people you want and you think are worth it, in my opinion you are a good director." This is what Spielberg once said, and Li Siming deeply agreed, and he can be regarded as a physical practitioner. Li Siming has "developed" such a habit since his first movie,

At that time, he was a layman and had to hide his weaknesses. However, he would not pretend to be aware of his knowledge and blindly commanding without knowing his skills. He was willing to maximize the strength of the team and the role of everyone, and was willing to follow other people's advice. More often than not, he showed a collaborator attitude. Now that he has succeeded, he can be regarded as knowledgeable. In this case, the facts in the past proved that he was a successful person, and naturally he was very heavy when speaking, and his subordinates worked harder.

The special effects staff sent by Lucas worked very hard and had good creativity, which solved many of Li Siming's troubles. Especially the guy named Cameron who had long been "sexy" was very good. One of the important reasons why this guy worked hard was that Frankel or Li Siming promised him that as long as the movie was completed, he would immediately invest in the film "Terminator" and would not treat him badly because of his low qualifications.

Because of his confidence in his own vision, all Li Siming is very relaxed towards the people he likes, which makes it easy and comfortable for many people to cooperate with McKenner. This is a chain reaction. It is something that Li Siming is very happy to do by attracting more people to "add bricks and tiles" to himself through people like Kame.

Since attending Li Siming's celebration, the three heroines suddenly became more serious. Perhaps they were influenced by the success of Hanks and others and their acting skills improved. Li Siming was very satisfied. Director Chen arranged some difficult martial arts moves for the film, and considered objective risk factors, and prepared a stand-in. But the three girls hoped that they could do a completely set martial arts scene, so they could only constantly enrich themselves - do well, do better, do better... Under their leadership, every staff member showed unprecedented courage and confidence.

Everything looked smooth, Li Siming was just waiting to finish filming the scene here and return to the United States to reshoot some other scenes. However, in this picturesque place, he still met an old friend. If this person had too extensive social interaction, it seemed that he would know people he knew wherever he went. As the saying goes, meet an old friend in a foreign land, it is precisely this truth. There is another saying that wealth is deep and has distant relatives, and has "connotation".

That day, he was filming a literary drama, which was conducted in a villa by the beach. Inadvertently, he found that there were a few Asians near the scene, not very well-dressed suits and Zhongshan suits. It was just that because they were dressed too neatly, it seemed more conspicuous. There were not many people wearing this kind of clothing in Hawaii resort. People were used to wearing local ethnic costumes. One of them, Li Siming, knew Director Qin, who was in charge of investment promotion in the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone. He was originally a deputy, but now he was promoted to the rightful position. At this time, Director Qin was looking at him happily, as if he had been here for a while.

"Everyone have a break, prepare the prop set, I have fiddled with my laptop. This appearance is my invention!" Li Siming ordered.

"Oh, Uncle Qin, it's really an accident. I didn't expect to see you here. Are you doing business?" Li Siming walked up to him and greeted him enthusiastically, shouting sweetly.

"Yes, our Guangdong Provincial Government has formed a friendly visit to Hawaii. It is estimated that it is very likely to establish friendly provincial and state relations, which is also an expansion of opening up. As for our representative of the Special Administrative Region, I hope to expand the popularity of our Special Administrative Region and attract more investment." Director Qin said.

"I heard you have been promoted?" Li Siming said with a smile.

"Where, where, but the responsibility is greater." Director Qin said humbly, "It's incomparable to you. As soon as we came, the mayor of Honolulu said that he knew that there was a Chinese named Li Siming who had just been awarded a medal by the US president. He also knew that you were making movies here. So today I'll bring a few comrades to see."

He spoke very modestly, and Li Siming could see that he was very happy. The one who turned the right thing was different. After all, Li Siming actually put in some effort, and it might not be of much significance, but Li Siming's beautiful words in front of the leader was indeed true.

"Actually, it's natural to ask me to see it. I've said a long time ago that there is still hard work without credit. Our country needs a backbone of cadres like Uncle Qin!" Li Siming complimented, making Director Qin feel comfortable.

"Xiao Li, you guy, you say something happy, but it has a bad impact." Director Qin said this, but he pulled him to introduce him to the other people. Some of these people are in charge of foreign trade, some are in charge of finance, some are in the Light Industry Department, and some are in the commercial system. In short, they are all cadres who are not big or small like Director Qin.

"All my compatriots from the motherland are my leaders. It's not easy for you to come here once, and they are still in business. I'm considered half a landlord. I'll take you to appreciate the charm of Hawaii." Li Siming suddenly changed his mind. He was going to invite a few compatriots to have a big meal, but then he thought, eating alone would seem too low.

"Xiao Li, isn't this good? We still have some business!" Someone's expression was a little embarrassed.

"Yes, time is still relatively tight!" Another person also said. However, Li Siming didn't realize that the time was too tight. Logically speaking, his time was much more important. If he included his box office appeal, he would waste hundreds of thousands of a day.

"What's the difficulty? If you can respect me, just listen to me!" Li Siming pretended to be unhappy, "Do you look down on an overseas Chinese wanderer with full enthusiasm for his compatriots from the motherland? Director Qin is my uncle. Can't I, a junior, work hard? Uncle Qin, do you think?"

"Yes, yes!" Director Qin nodded and said yes. If Li Siming gave him such a great face, he would have lived in vain for so many years.

OK, Xiao Li is so hospitable, and he has said this, who would refuse? It’s hard to give up the kindness!

Li Siming turned around and explained to the crew, and once again gave everyone a holiday.

"Li, it's going to be on vacation again. Working with you is easy." The little drama agent named Norman was very happy. Only Cameron was a little depressed.

"Norman, are you familiar with Hawaii?" Li Siming asked.

"Familiar, of course, I've been on vacation twice, and I've visited all eight big islands!" Norman said complacently, "I feel like I'm an indigenous."

"Okay, you can be my guide and drive the station wagon rented by the crew!" Li Siming said with a smile.

"Why me?"

"No, because you are more handsome!" Li Siming said, "In front of my Chinese compatriots, you, Mr. Norman Serik, represent the image of the United States. Don't you want to show the good style of the American people's hospitality?"

"Is it a sin to be handsome? Is this related to the hospitality of us Americans?" Norman was very depressed, but he still had to do so.

"Milos, come here and ask you to do something!" Li Siming called another assistant.

"What's the matter, Lee?" Milos said. He was in charge of the crew's financial work.

"You buy some souvenirs for me. They are more practical, smaller, and not too expensive." Li Siming ordered.

"Why?" Milos felt very strange. This was not a planned expenditure. It seemed that Frankel's usual style was perfect in this person. Milos was very competent in his financial work.

"Don't worry about this. You can also make a list and hand it over to David, which means I want to buy it." Li Siming said, "Is it okay?"

"Then I'm relieved. Why do you have to buy souvenirs of this specification?" Milos was surprised.

"This is a profound science, and I can't tell you clearly. You can just buy it. It's best to package it!" Li Siming said.

"Okay, but how much do you want to buy?"

"You have to buy thirty or forty pieces!" Li Siming said, regardless of whether the gifts were accepted or handed over by him in the end.

Why buy a more practical, smaller, and not too expensive? It is too knowledgeable here. If it is too expensive, Li Siming may not dare to collect it if he dares to give it to others. He may also have to collect taxes when he goes out of customs. The small size is because it can be carried with him and it is convenient to go out of customs. As for it, is it practical? Li Siming wanted this gift to be often seen in the recipient's sight because of use, and it will not be pressed on the bottom of the box to wait for mold.

Norman drove over, and Li Siming invited all his compatriots to get on the car and drove to the nearest golf course. On the first day, Director Qin and seven others were among the others, and the next day it turned into a small tour group. It was seen, eaten in the stomach, and put in his pocket, but it was not exposed.

"You boy, it's really not easy!" Director Qin said with a smile to Li Siming in private.

"Uncle Qin, your words are so profound, I don't quite understand." Li Siming pretended to be stupid.

"If you praise you, you will fly into the sky. Who doesn't understand here? What are you doing for the past few days?" Director Qin rolled his eyes, "Don't think you are not a person. But some people here know that your relationship is strong enough, your father-in-law, Xiao Xu's father, and Mr. Zeng's uncle, and..."

"Okay, can I still make mistakes if I do my best to be a landlord?" Li Siming called injustice, "You're thinking too much, right?"
