Everyone present exclaimed in surprise. This was definitely not just a concept of five billion USD. One had to know that a movie might not only be invested by one company. There might be several investors. In other words, the Connor Group might choose to shoot a movie and invest one billion USD. Then, they pulled in two other companies and asked them to invest a few hundred million USD as well.
Investing five billion US dollars a year was indeed a lot. It could be seen that Connor Pictures was indeed going to continue to work hard. Even Xiao Bing was slightly surprised when he heard this.
There was a thunderous applause.
After the applause ended, Connor continued to say with a smile, "Everyone, we have already discussed with Marvel. This year, we will cooperate to shoot two new movies together. One of them is the sequel to Thor, and the other one needs to be kept a secret for now. In addition, our company has a series of movie plans, which will be announced one by one in the future. "
"This year, we hope to further expand the film market. The Chinese film market has become more and more mature, so we will carefully select a Chinese film star to play the leading role. We will strive to create a film with a box office of more than 800 million US dollars with a Chinese film star playing an important role."
At this time, everyone could not help but look at Bi Tingting. They were all full of envy. Although Connor had not announced who he would choose, it seemed that the person in his mind was already self-evident since he invited Bi Tingting this time.
Connor smiled and said, "Well, let's start our dance."
The lights in the hall began to change and became dim. Then, the lights in the dance floor were lit up. At the same time, there was a faint sound.
Connor walked down from the stage and walked to Bi Tingting. He reached out his hand and said with a smile, "Miss Bi Tingting, may I have the honor to dance with you?"
Bi Tingting smiled and said, "It would be my honor."
Dai Mo also extended an invitation to Chris, and everyone entered the dance floor one after another.
The people around Xiao Bing also seized the opportunity to invite others. But some of them succeeded, while others failed. After all, they were all assistants and their status was much lower than these artists.
Xiao Bing sat there quietly, looking at his phone. At this time, an American man in his thirties came over and said with a smile, "Hello, I'm Copps, Henry's assistant."
Although Xiao Bing said that he was too lazy to talk to them, it did not mean that he would ignore them. Seeing that this person took the initiative to greet him, Xiao Bing still did not put on airs. He shook hands with him and said, "I am Xiao Jun, Bi Tingting's assistant."
"Oh, Mr. Xiao Jun, congratulations. It seems that Miss Bi Tingting is going to enter Hollywood this time. Didn't you hear what Mr. Connor said? He said that he would invite a Huaxia superstar to participate in his big investment movie. I think it must be Bi Tingting."
Although Xiao Bing thought so in his heart, he still needed to be polite. So he said with a smile, "It's not certain."
"Haha, you are too modest. How can this not be certain? In my opinion, there is at least a 70% to 80% chance of success. In the future, we may have some opportunities to cooperate. Miss Bi Tingting doesn't have a boyfriend in China, right? "
"Yes." Xiao Bing did not know what he wanted to say, but now Bi Tingting had not announced their relationship, so it was better for Xiao Bing to keep a low profile for the time being.
"Oh, that's even better. Miss Bi Tingting is so beautiful. No wonder Mr. Connor is attracted to her."
Xiao Bing said, "You mean …"
Copps said with a smile, "Can't you see that Mr. Connor is very interested in Miss Bi Tingting? You can see it from the seat arrangement. You can give this lady some advice. If she can coax this big boss, it is very likely that she will gain a foothold in Hollywood in the next few years. When she has a foothold in Hollywood, won't her status in your country be higher?"
Xiao Bing said lightly, "But Bi Tingting may not like him."
Copps said with a smile, "Isn't it simple? Coax her with sweet words. When necessary … you know."
Xiao Bing frowned slightly. Seeing that Xiao Bing's face seemed to be a little unhappy, Copps thought to himself, "This is a truth that everyone knows. Why are you pretending?" But he observed Xiao Bing's expression and said, "I won't disturb you. I'll see if there are any beauties who don't have a partner."
Xiao Bing nodded and then looked at Bi Tingting and Connor who were dancing. Xiao Bing didn't have any particular dislike for Connor. Although he didn't like him very much, he didn't hate him just because he was interested in Bi Tingting. After all, beautiful women were appreciated. Even if he was Bi Tingting's boyfriend, it was impossible for those men to turn a blind eye to a woman. As long as he didn't take the initiative to provoke them, it didn't matter.
However, Xiao Bing did not expect that the other party would provoke him even though he did not provoke them.
After a while, after the song was over, Bi Tingting walked over to him with a sullen face. Xiao Bing stood up to greet her and asked, "What's wrong? The ball has just begun. Are you going back? "
"Yes." Bi Tingting said, "I'm not feeling well … Let's go back and rest first."
Xiao Bing glanced at Connor, who was also unhappy in the distance, and then asked, "Did he just do something to you?"
"No … No." Bi Tingting was a little hesitant.
Xiao Bing's face darkened. Bi Tingting grabbed Xiao Bing's arm and said anxiously in a low voice, "Brother Xiao, it's really nothing. This person is very powerful in Hollywood. Don't provoke him."
Xiao Bing said, "Then tell me what happened."
Bi Tingting hesitated for a moment, but still replied, "Just … just now when he took the opportunity to touch me while we were dancing, I slapped his hand away, and then he said …"
Hearing that the other party took the opportunity to touch Bi Tingting, Xiao Bing was already very unhappy in his heart. But he still restrained his temper and asked, "What did he say?"
"He said … he said that if I want to enter Hollywood, he can support me. There is a big production this year where I can be the heroine and cooperate with the popular male stars in Hollywood … But the premise is …"
Xiao Bing asked, "What is the premise?"
"I have to accompany him in the room tonight."
There was a murderous look in Xiao Bing's eyes. Bi Tingting grabbed Xiao Bing's arm tightly and said, "Don't be impulsive. It's fine if I don't agree. He can't do anything to me. If we fall out, it's not good for anyone."
Xiao Bing patted Bi Tingting's hand and said with a smile, "It's okay. This matter will only be bad for him. It won't affect you. Believe me."
"But … but …" Bi Tingting hesitated for a moment and said, "But this is Hollywood. This is not a place where one's fist is harder."
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "But there are few things in this world that my fist can't settle. Others may not be able to do it, but I have no problem. Let's go and have a good talk. "
Bi Tingting said nervously, "Talk about what?"
"Oh, teach him a lesson!" Xiao Bing sneered and said, "My woman … How dare he provoke me??"
With a bang, Xiao Bing kicked a chair next to him. It flew far away and directly flew to the stage, knocking over the drums on the stage. Then the scene became quiet and everyone looked at Xiao Bing.
Alice, who was dancing with a new Hollywood star on the dance floor, walked over angrily from the other side of the dance floor and said, "Mr. Xiao Jun, what do you mean? Please give me a reasonable explanation. If you act like a drunkard here, it will affect Miss Bi Tingting's image! "
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "I didn't drink just now. I'm afraid that the person who really acts like a drunkard is your boss. What is it called Connor? Oh, right, Connor who wants to die? "
Xiao Bing's English was very good. When these words came out of his mouth, everyone was dumbfounded. Although they did not know what had happened, they were all smart people. They immediately guessed that it had something to do with Bi Tingting and Connor.
Connor's face was gloomy. He walked to the stage and ordered the service staff to turn on the lights. The hall was immediately lit up. Connor said with a sullen face, "Sir, I invited you here out of kindness. What do you mean? If you leave here now, I will not lower myself to your level for the sake of Miss Bi Tingting. "
"That's right!" Dai Mo stood up at this time and said, "Bi Tingting, what's wrong with your assistant? Are all your Huaxia people so uncultured? "
Another Hollywood second-tier star named Al stood up and said, "Sir, you must apologize to Mr. Connor."
Then three or four stars stood up to accuse Xiao Bing. Xiao Bing immediately fell into the level of being condemned by thousands of people.
At this time, Connor smiled and said very gently, "It's understandable for young people to drink a little. Bi Tingting, why don't you let him apologize to everyone and then leave first, so as not to ruin the atmosphere here."
Alice said, "Just let him apologize and leave immediately. Our boss is lenient enough."
Bi Tingting took a deep breath. Every one of these people in front of her was a big shot in the world of film. If she offended any one of them, it would not be good for her future development. If she offended all of them, then she could only stay in the domestic film and television circle in the future. Even if she had the opportunity to enter Hollywood, it would be difficult for her to move forward.
But she still glanced at all of them firmly, and then said word by word, "Brother Xiao was not drunk at all. He did nothing wrong. He doesn't need to apologize to anyone!"
