My house collapsed from the top, and the system just came?

In this life, this was Wang Mo's first time in North America.

In fact, before Wang Mo collapsed, the executives of Yunhai Media originally wanted him to release a few songs internationally and then buy one or two Grammy awards to improve his B-level. However, Wang Mo's singing at that time was so touching that the senior management gave up the idea.

then……

Wang Mo has always stayed in China and has never stepped out of the country.

The plane flew past the Statue of Liberty and landed at New York Airport.

"Is this the so-called free country?"

Wang Mo looked at the unfamiliar scene outside, took a deep breath of air, and found that he couldn't feel the freshness and comfort of those so-called beauty blows, which were no different from those in China.

Next to him, Hao Mingxing not only came by himself, but also brought two men who looked about the same age as him.

The two men looked ordinary in appearance, but according to what Hao Mingxing said, they were both real martial arts practitioners, and their boxing and kicking skills were almost as good as his.

The three people formed a "pin" shape, surrounding Wang Mo in the middle.

Wang Mo felt that something was being made out of a fuss. He was just a nobody in North America. How could he need such protection specifications? This will actually attract some people's attention.

But Hao Mingxing insisted on having his own way, so he had no choice but to give up.

Hao Mingxing even thought about getting one or two guns through some special channels, but Wang Mo was so scared that he immediately stopped his idea.

Although ordinary people have the right to legally hold guns in North America, that is only for locals. The difficulty for foreigners like them to legally hold guns is almost five stars. And if they illegally possess guns, once they are discovered by local officials, the consequences will be extremely serious.

Although Hao Mingxing agreed to Wang Mo's words on the surface, he seemed to be unwilling to do so.

After the group arrived at the hotel, Hao Mingxing made a phone call and left, not knowing what he was going to do.

There are as many as twenty people coming to North America this time.

In addition to Wang Mo, Yuan Xiong, Hao Mingxing and two bodyguards, the entire "Kung Fu" core team came, as well as some employees who had previously contacted North American theaters.

Since it was a chartered business jet, although everyone had been on the plane for more than ten hours, they all had a good rest, but the jet lag was a bit uncomfortable.

so.

After resting for a while in the hotel, Yuan Xiong found Wang Mo: "Ah Mo, He Rui and the others were here in North America before, and the top person in charge of the theater chain they contacted was a theater manager in New York. The other person's name was Edgar , those responsible for the control are some of AMC's theaters in eastern North America. He Rui has already contacted the other party, and the two parties have made an appointment to meet at three o'clock this afternoon."

"OK."

Wang Mo nodded.

He had done enough homework before coming and knew that AMC was a chain of cinemas in North America and the largest cinema chain in the world. It plays a pivotal role in movie theaters in North America and around the world.

It has more than 600 theaters in North America and more than 300 theaters in Europe, which is terrifying.

And the Edgar he wanted to meet was just a small regional manager. But for Wang Mo, even being a regional manager is enough for him to take him seriously.

Yuan Xiong said: "The other party only gave us half an hour, saying that he had important matters at 3:30. So we must make full use of this time to negotiate with the other party. But Ah Mo, I'm not pouring cold water on you. I'm afraid we won't be able to negotiate in half an hour. Nothing. And He Rui reported it to me. They have already talked about everything they can talk about, and it is almost impossible to make progress if they continue talking, and it may even cause the other party to feel resentful."

"It doesn't matter."

Wang Mo smiled: "Half an hour is half an hour, but then Brother Xiong, how about you give me the initiative and let me communicate with the other party?"

"you?"

Yuan Xiong looked at Wang Mo suspiciously for a while before nodding: "Okay."

Wang Mo continued to ask: "What about TV stations and other publicity aspects?"

Yuan Xiong said: "I'm going to contact you today. But for the TV interviews and Instagram and other online promotions you mentioned, as long as you pay, the other party will definitely contact you. But the effect may not be good."

Wang Mo said: "It doesn't matter, let's get in touch for the time being. After I negotiate the theater chain, I can ask Chai Qing and Zhong An to go to the TV station for interviews, and the effect will be achieved by then."

Seeing that Wang Mo was so confident, Yuan Xiong was even more puzzled. He had no idea where Wang Mo's confidence came from.

The professional team he sent negotiated for less than half a month before they obtained a little bit of theater resources. Can you, Wang Mo, create miracles in just half an hour?

Of course Wang Mo is confident.

Because he's a jerk.

He has already made up his mind: during the half-hour conversation in the afternoon, if things don't go well, he will turn on the halo of luck, or go to the system mall to buy one or two props.

I have tens of millions of reputations in my hands, but I still can't get a mere theater manager?

…

afternoon.

Hao Mingxing drove a Bentley from nowhere. It must have been modified, and it looked extremely sturdy.

After getting in the car, Wang Mo was curious: "Did you rent it?"

Hao Mingxing said: "No, I borrowed it from a local friend."

Wang Mo: "Do you still have friends in New York?"

Hao Mingxing: "I just handed it in today."

Wang Mo: "..."

There was a pause.

He still couldn't help but ask: "Are you Chinese?"

Hao Mingxing: "No, the leader of a small local gang."

Wang Mo's eyes suddenly widened: "How...how did you become friends with the other party?"

Hao Mingxing grinned: "It's very simple. Without a gun, I picked them all by myself. Then the other guy made friends with me."

Wang Mo: "..."

He could imagine how Hao Mingxing made friends with him.

It's really simple...and crude.

No wonder I said I made friends today.

Next to him, Yuan Xiong broke out in a cold sweat: "Xiao Hao, you'd better not get involved with these local gangs. They have guns in their hands. If they get crazy, you will be in trouble."

Hao Mingxing smiled and said: "Thank you, Brother Xiong, I am measured. Moreover, I also have a gun. Otherwise, they would not put down their guns to challenge me one on one."

Uh-huh!

Hao Mingxing flicked his hand and pulled out a pistol from somewhere.

Wang Mo and Yuan Xiong suddenly changed their expressions, and their lips turned white.

Hao Mingxing smiled and said: "Brother Mo, Brother Xiong, don't be nervous. I got this gun through legal channels, so there is no problem at all. Look, I still have a gun license."

As he said that, he took out a gun license from his pocket.

Wang Mo and Yuan Xiong looked at each other, and their hearts were filled with turmoil. They couldn't imagine how Hao Mingxing had done so many things in just a few hours.

Especially gun licenses, which are simply impossible for ordinary people to obtain.

suddenly.

Wang Mo thought of another question: "Brother Xing, do you know English?"

Otherwise, how could Hao Mingxing communicate with the locals?

Hao Mingxing nodded: "Yes, Brother Mo, you told me before that you wanted me to learn English well. At that time, I hired a teacher to teach me English. Originally, I passed CET-6 when I was in school, so I learned It wasn’t too difficult to get up, and now I have no problem communicating with people.”

Yuan Xiong looked at Hao Mingxing deeply and sighed: "What a talent."

Hao Mingxing continued: "Brother Mo, don't blame me for doing these things. Foreign countries have always been in trouble, and I am prepared for all these things. And dealing with gangs is not a bad thing. Most gangs are actually famous families on the surface. They are active in all major upper-class societies and are not living in the dark as we imagine. Many times they actually have their own rules for how they act. As long as you have a relationship with the other party, they may be more reliable than the local officials at critical moments. And there are a lot of conveniences when doing things.”

Wang Mo was shocked when he heard this.

Even Yuan Xiong was stunned: "Xiao Hao, where did you know this?"

Hao Mingxing smiled and said: "We martial arts practitioners are naturally more sensitive to these things. Moreover, many of us in the Hao family do not live in China, but travel around the world, so we will all know something about many things in this regard. Hear it.”

Wang Mo understood somewhat.

No wonder Hao Mingxing was able to contact the local gangs in a short period of time and obtain a gun license. He probably had his own special channels.

…

Today's negotiation with the theater manager is scheduled to take place in the other party's office.

The Bentley borrowed by Hao Mingxing was extremely dazzling and made the journey smooth.

When we arrived at a certain building, the waiter who greeted guests downstairs was only slightly surprised when he saw Bentley, but he soon saw Bentley's number.

The next second, the boy was all excited, rushed to the side of the Bentley, and respectfully opened the car door.

However, what surprised him was that an oriental young man he had never seen came out of it.

The boy's pupils were trembling, but he was still very respectful.

Because he knew that the identity of the person who could get into this car would not be simple.

Yuan Xiong walked down from the other side and said with a smile in English: "Excuse me, we are looking for Mr. Edgar on the 26th floor. Please help us contact him. We have made an appointment with him to meet him at three o'clock this afternoon. , prepare to go up and visit him."

"Okay...ok."

The boy quickly called another person: "Larry, tell Mr. Edgar quickly that these three distinguished gentlemen are looking for him and ask Mr. Edgar to come down to greet them."

Yuan Xiong said quickly: "No, no, no... we can just go up, so we won't bother Mr. Edgar."

Are you kidding me?

Let the other party come down to greet you?

I don't have such confidence.

At the same time, his heart was churning: He remembered He Rui said that they had been here many times before, and the other party's attitude was very arrogant. It was very difficult to get in every time. Why did it go so smoothly today? Is the boy in front of me still so respectful?

Seeing the respectful look of the waiter next to him with a hint of fear, and the way he looked at Bentley from time to time, Yuan Xiong understood that he was pretending to be powerful.

At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind: Didn't Hao Mingxing say that the other party was just a small gang? Judging from the current situation, the owner of Bentley may be a bit unusual.

Several people finally rejected the boy's enthusiasm and asked Larry to take them upstairs.

…

Twenty-sixth floor.

Edgar had just finished a meeting and was feeling mentally exhausted.

Just as he was about to lie down on the chair and rest for a while, the secretary with a proud figure walked in: "Mr. Edgar, you still need to receive a few guests at three o'clock."

The secretary's flirtatious attitude made Edgar lose his energy. He said lazily: "What kind of guest?"

The secretary said: "It's the people from China's "Kung Fu" movie. I heard that they want to get more theaters to schedule movies, so this time they sent senior officials from China to further discuss with you."

"Oh, that's it."

Edgar remembered, but still lay on the chair and waved his hand: "Let them wait for now, I will rest for half an hour."

Secretary: "But you have a concert to attend in half an hour. You told me that you must remind you not to miss the concert because Mr. Kenneth will also go."

Edgar waved his hand again: "Then go directly to the concert in half an hour, let those Chinese people go back, and see them next time when you are free."

For Edgar, this was a common occurrence.

It's important to rest yourself.

The schedule of a mere Chinese movie is not worth his attention at all.

Last time, I was able to arrange some movies for the other party, which was interesting enough. This was only because the other party gave a lot of gifts, otherwise I would not be interested at all.

"OK."

The secretary was also used to it and was ready to exit.

But the next second.

Ring ring ring.

Edgar's cell phone rang. He glanced at it and pressed it down.

But then, the phone rang again.

Edgar was furious and roared when he answered the phone: "Michael! You damn guy, you're disturbing my sleep when you're not guarding the door down there. If you don't give me a reasonable reason, get out of here right now." Bar!"

Michael.

It was the boy below who had just received Wang Mo and the others.

Hearing Edgar's words, Michael did not panic, but said anxiously: "Mr. Edgar, Mr. Fernando's car has arrived downstairs."

"who?"

Edgar's angry expression just now disappeared instantly, and his face suddenly turned pale: "Mr. Fernando?"

Michael: "Yes."

Edgar's voice changed: "He...he...he came to find me?"

Within a few seconds of saying this, Edgar went through everything he had done in recent days in his mind.

The good, the bad, the unknown.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Michael: "No."

Edgar immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then yelled: "You are riding a horse, he is not here to find me, why are you calling me? Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?"

Michael: "The person sitting in the car is not Mr. Fernando, but a few people with oriental faces. They said they made an appointment with you to meet at three o'clock, and now they have gone up."

…

A few minutes later.

With a bright smile on his face, Edgar welcomed Wang Mo, Yuan Xiong and Hao Mingxing into the living room with sincerity.

"Mr. Wang, please take a seat. You can't go out in person for such a trivial matter. Give me a call next time and I'll be there right away."

Edgar made the coffee himself and brought it to Wang Mo.

At the same time, Yu Yan looked at the young Oriental boy in front of him, and he couldn't figure it out: Why would Mr. Fernando lend his car to him?

This is unscientific!

He knew that Fernando's favorite car was his car, and he would not even let him sit in it, let alone lend it to others. But now he actually lent it to the young man from the East in front of him?

Edgar secretly took a look. Although the young man looked to be in his early twenties, his eyes were reserved and his temperament was outstanding. At first glance, he was not an ordinary person.

Who is this person?

Damn it, those bastards in the company are all shit eaters!

If I had known that the other party was so powerful, how could I have waited for the other party's visit in the office? He even almost drove the other party back!

Fortunately, I didn't make a big mistake.

Wang Mo sighed secretly.

I didn’t drink the coffee brewed by the secretary with that proud figure.

After taking the coffee, he smiled in proficient English and said: "Mr. Edgar, you are too polite. We are here to ask you to do something. Of course, we have to come and visit in person."

Yuan Xiong, who was standing behind him, secretly cursed: Wang Mo, this bastard, really knows a little bit about English! Even with his fluent and authentic North American English, he himself was far behind.

What a mess.

Edgar patted his chest: "Mr. Wang, please tell me. As long as I, Edgar, can do it, I will definitely help you."

Wang Mo didn't expect Edgar to agree so simply.

He originally made several plans, but in the end none of them were used. It seems that what Hao Mingxing said just now is very reasonable: many times, if you have a good relationship with these local gangs, things will go much smoother.

Next to him, Yuan Xiong was also stunned.

The team he sent over worked hard for half a month before they knelt down and begged for some filming. As a result, Hao Mingxing achieved ten times the effect with just one car?

Wang Mo smiled: "Mr. Edgar must have known our purpose. We just hope that "Kung Fu" can be released more in North America. I don't know if you have seen this movie, but its quality is still good." . If you are worried about its performance in the North American market, you can test screen it within a short range. If the effect is good, you can increase the film schedule; if the effect is average, we will not make it difficult for you."

Edgar looked a little embarrassed. Where had he seen "Kung Fu"?

Although the representative sent by Yunhai Media had already put the "Kung Fu" DVD on his desk in the past period, he didn't even look at it.

"I've seen it before. It's good. It's quite good. This is the best Chinese kongfu I've ever seen! I remember that someone from China recommended another movie to me last year. What was it called "Fist of Heroes"? What's in it? His Kung Fu is far behind, and there is no way to compare it with Mr. Wang’s Kung Fu.”

Edgar is also a good person, and he immediately talks nonsense.

"oh?"

Wang Mo smiled and said nothing.

Hao Mingxing behind him blinked: "Mr. Edgar, "Fist of Heroes" is a movie starring me."

"..."

Damn it.

Didn’t you worship God today?

Edgar's heart was spinning rapidly, and he smiled and said: "Mr. Hao, I know "Fist of Heroes" is also good, but the movie you starred in can't be compared with Mr. Wang's movie, right?"

Hao Mingxing nodded: "What you said makes sense, but "Fist of Heroes" and "Kung Fu" are both Brother Mo's movies."

"..."

Edgar's smile froze, and he finally spread his hands: "Okay... I admit that I have never seen either movie."

Wang Mo didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Mr. Edgar, don't worry too much. In fact, if you have seen the movie, I would be surprised."

"oh?"

Edgar suddenly had a better impression of the young man in front of him. He gave a thumbs up: "Mr. Wang is generous. I don't have to watch the movie anymore. No matter what the quality is, I will give it enough film schedule. What's more, , a movie that can have a box office of 670 million US dollars in China, I think its quality will definitely not be bad. It’s just..."

Take a sip of coffee.

Edgar smiled bitterly: "I am just a regional manager of AMC. Not to mention the box office schedule of the entire North America, even for AMC's theater chain in North America, the area I am responsible for is less than one-fifth. So even if Using my maximum authority, I could only increase the schedule of "Kung Fu" by about three times."

three times!

Yuan Xiong's eyes suddenly brightened.

He almost cried out in surprise. If the North American film schedule of "Kung Fu" can really be tripled from the current stage, then the overseas box office will be well over five million US dollars, which is tens of millions converted into Chinese currency. The box office.

However.

Wang Mo shook his head in disappointment: "Only three times? That's a bit less."

Edgar: "Mr. Wang, I'm sorry. But this is the limit of what I can do. No matter how high the film schedule is, it is not something I, a regional manager, can decide."

Wang Mo knew that Edgar was not telling lies.

He came to meet with Edgar today, not to negotiate with such a small role, so he asked casually: "Who can make the decision?"

Edgar: "The only person who can decide the North American box office schedule is Mr. Kenneth. Mr. Kenneth is the head of AMC. As long as he can nod, it is just a matter of one sentence to improve the schedule of "Kung Fu"."

Kenneth!

Wang Mo and Yuan Xiong looked at each other.

This man is the actual controller of AMC and is known as the King of North American Cinemas. Whether it was status or rights, they were completely different from the Edgar in front of him.

Yuan Xiong shook his head secretly. He thought that he and the others had no chance to meet each other.

However, Wang Mo continued to ask: "Excuse me, Mr. Edgar, can you introduce us to Mr. Kenneth for a brief meeting? Even if it is only ten minutes."

As long as Wang Mo can see Kenneth.

Even if it takes ten minutes, he is sure to defeat the opponent.

Edgar frowned and thought for a moment: "I can think of a way, but I can't guarantee whether it will be successful. After all, you know, for a person like Mr. Kenneth, his work schedule has already been scheduled many days in the future. Don’t say ten minutes, maybe not even one minute can be spared.”

Wang Mo nodded: "Just do your best."

Having said this, he was ready to turn on the halo of luck.

I don't have that much time to wait for something illusory, so I still rely on luck.

Just then.

Edgar's secretary came over and whispered something in his ear.

Edgar frowned, glanced at Wang Mo and others in embarrassment, then took a deep breath and shook his head to signal the secretary to leave.

Wang Mo blinked: "Mr. Edgar, do you have anything else to do later? If you have something to do, we will leave now, it's okay. Just help bring a message to Mr. Kenneth when the time comes."

Edgar showed an apologetic expression: "There is indeed something going on, but it doesn't matter. It's just a small music event. It doesn't matter if I don't go."

"Music event?"

Wang Mo curiously asked: "What music activity?"

Edgar was about to say something when he suddenly remembered something: "Mr. Wang, I almost forgot that Mr. Kenneth will also visit this music event, so if I want to help you with the message, this may be a good opportunity."

Wang Mo's eyes brightened when he heard this: "Mr. Kenneth will also be there? Mr. Edgar, would it be convenient for you to take me there? That way I can see Mr. Kenneth directly."

"this……"

Edgar looked troubled.

Wang Mo added: "Actually, I also know a little bit about music."

Edgar then smiled: "If Mr. Wang also has some ability to appreciate music, then I can take you there. Because Mr. Kenneth is the most obsessed with music. As long as you can catch up with him in music, you should be able to Gain his favor."

Wang Mo: "Sorry to trouble you." (End of Chapter)
