A few hours later, the plane landed smoothly at Los Angeles Airport.
With Kree's help, Xiao Yunhai and the rest did not have to queue up for security checks. Instead, they went through a special passage.
Walking out of the airport, Xiao Yunhai suddenly felt that it was a little hot.
The temperature in Beijing was usually negative 7 degrees Celsius to 5 degrees Celsius. The lowest temperature here was three to four degrees higher than Beijing.
Xiao Yunhai and the rest stayed in a five-star hotel. They were preparing to get over the jet lag and travel to Hollywood the next day.
Kree was very enthusiastic. He told the two that he would personally drive over to pick them up tomorrow.
After chatting for a while, Xiao Yunhai found that although Kree was a bit of a playboy, he was not a bad person. In fact, he was very talented.
After knowing Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing's identity, Kree was very well-behaved. He looked at Zhao Wanqing with a gaze that was not evil. It was completely different from when they first met.
This was also the reason why Xiao Yunhai was willing to befriend him.
Under the guidance of the hotel staff, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing walked into their room.
As expected of a five-star hotel, the decoration of the room was very luxurious. The accessories were also very complete. Overall, it looked very comfortable.
Because she often heard about the epidemic of AIDS in America, Zhao Wanqing prepared her own bedsheets, quilts, and pillows before coming.
Although the bedding here seemed to be very clean, just in case, it was safer to use his own things.
Meng Fang and the two of them shared a room. They stayed opposite and next door to Xiao Yunhai.
After tidying up the room, Xiao Yunhai lay on the bed and asked, "Wan Qing, what do you think of Kree?"
Zhao Wanqing thought for a while and smiled. "I think he's quite similar to you. When you don't know him, he gives off a serious feeling. Once you get familiar with him, his nature is immediately exposed. He's a bit glib. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Then tell me, why is he so enthusiastic towards us? As the saying goes, one who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions. "
Zhao Wanqing said, "We don't have anything on us that he wants. After all, he was the prince of MGM Grand. He could get whatever he wanted in Hollywood. Although the two of us are very famous in Hua Xia, compared to MGM Grand, it's like heaven and earth. What can we possibly have that he values? "
Xiao Yunhai laughed and hugged Zhao Wanqing's waist, saying, "For you."
Zhao Wanqing rolled her eyes and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
Xiao Yunhai said, "How am I talking nonsense? Didn't you hear him say that he was charmed by you? Hehe, I have good foresight. I got you early on. Otherwise, who knows how many competitors I would have? "
Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "What? You know that I'm popular. Remember to treat me better in the future. Otherwise, even if I leave you, there will still be a lot of people chasing after me. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Yes, Leader. From now on, I will completely listen to your arrangements. If you ask me to go east, I will not go west. If you ask me to beat a dog, I will not chase a chicken. I promise that I will serve you well every day, especially in bed. I will make you feel like you're in heaven. "
When Zhao Wanqing heard that, her face turned red like a big apple. She pretended to be angry and said, "You hooligan, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Xiao Yunhai's hand very dishonestly touched the towering peaks in front of Zhao Wanqing's chest, but was firmly pressed down by Zhao Wanqing, saying: "Wife, we've been husband and wife for so long. Still blushing so easily, is there a need to be like this?"
Zhao Wanqing rolled her eyes and said, "Hurry up and take your hand away. It's broad daylight and you're not ashamed. In a while, Senior Meng, Sima Qian, and the others will be here. I have to touch up my makeup and go out for a walk. "
Xiao Yunhai let go of Zhao Wanqing and said, "You're already so beautiful and you still need to touch up your makeup. Are you trying to charm those foreigners? "
Towards Xiao Yunhai's praise, Zhao Wanqing accepted it all and was very happy in her heart.
Ten minutes later, the group of people strolled aimlessly in the major shopping malls of Los Angeles.
It had to be said that shopping was a woman's nature. Although Zhao Wanqing was wearing high heels, she was much faster than the five men.
Xiao Yunhai said helplessly to the four of them, "The most difficult task in the world is to accompany my wife shopping. It's so depressing."
Sima Qian smiled and said, "Boss Xiao, to be able to accompany a peerless beauty like Miss Zhao shopping, I don't know how many people are jealous."
Xiao Yunhai pointed at Sima Qian and said, "Brother Qian, you're flattering the wrong person. If you say that in front of Wan Qing, she will be very happy."
Sima Qian shrugged and said with a smile, "I'm just telling the truth."
Sima Qian was very satisfied with his current life. As the assistant of a big star, he should be busy all the time. However, Xiao Yunhai was a lazy guy. He usually didn't rush to work or participate in activities. Except for filming, there weren't many places where Sima Qian was needed.
However, his salary and bonus were much higher than that of other star assistants. In less than a year, Sima Qian had earned more money than he had earned in the previous three years.
His wife, who had a bad temper at home, was becoming more and more gentle to him, as if she was afraid that he would have an affair.
However, Sima Qian had been very worried recently.
Xiao Yunhai had only signed a two-year contract with Tianhua Film and Television, which would expire in half a year. He didn't know if the contract would be renewed.
It was unlikely that the contract would be renewed, because Xiao Yunhai's wife was the eldest daughter of Hanhai Film and Television. Their agency department had just been set up and needed artists to join.
Zhao Mingsheng only needed to say one word, and as his future son-in-law, Xiao Yunhai, would immediately go to him.
Sigh, thinking that he might go to other stars in the future, Sima Qian's mood suddenly became low.
Xiao Yunhai said, "Brother Qian, what's wrong? Why do you suddenly look so bad? Well, we're all happy now that we're out. How about this, I'll give each of you 50,000 dollars as a reward. Old Gao, Brother Song, Brother Qian, buy whatever your family needs. Don't treat your wife and children badly. Brother Meng, you've been with your sister-in-law for so long. You should buy her some jewelry. I'll ask Wan Qing to help you choose a few. Remember, you have to spend all 50,000 dollars before leaving the United States. If you haven't spent it by the time you go back, I'm sorry, but I won't give you any cash. "
Sima Qian smiled and said, "Thank you, Boss Xiao. I was just worried that I didn't have enough money to buy things for my family. "
Gao Xiangfeng and Song Yunfeng also expressed their gratitude.
In this world, the exchange rate between US dollars and Hua Xia dollars was generally maintained at about 1: 3. 50,000 dollars was equivalent to 150,000 Hua Xia dollars, which was enough for them to buy things.
At this time, Zhao Wanqing called Xiao Yunhai to help her look at a platinum necklace. Xiao Yunhai sighed deeply at them. When he turned his head, his face was full of smiles.
The six of them strolled until 11 o 'clock in the evening before returning to the hotel.
At 9 o 'clock in the morning the next day, Kree arrived at the hotel where Xiao Yunhai and the others were staying. At this time, everyone had just finished breakfast and was sitting in the hall waiting for him.
"Hey, Yunhai, Wan Qing, I'm very sorry to have kept you waiting. Come, let's go quickly. I'll take you to visit the World Cinema Center — Hollywood. "
After a long talk on the plane, the three of them had become friends. Therefore, Kree spoke a little casually.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you today."
Kree waved his hand and said, "We're friends. You don't have to be so polite."
This time, Kree came with two luxury cars, one was his own sports car, the other was the company's Lincoln limousine.
Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing sat in the sports car driven by Kree himself, while the others sat in the Lincoln limousine and headed to Hollywood one after another.
Hollywood was located in the northeast of Los Angeles. At first, it was just a small village. After hundreds of years of development, it gradually became the center of the American film industry, and also became the dream place of the world's filmmakers.
Under Kree's guidance, Xiao Yunhai, Zhao Wanqing and the others visited the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the huge Hollywood sign, the Hua Xia Theater, the Dolby Theater, Madame Tussauds and other famous attractions.
At 4 o 'clock in the afternoon, Kree took them to MGM Grand for a tour.
Among them, Xiao Yunhai was most interested in MGM Grand's special effects studio. There were dozens of technicians working there seriously, and they seemed to be molding a large animal.
Kree didn't hide anything and said, "MGM Grand is going to invest 500 million USD to shoot a movie called 'Dinosaur Battle.' They are trying to make a dinosaur model. Once they are sure that the dinosaur is perfectly represented, we will immediately start shooting. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Hollywood is indeed the world's entertainment center. Whether it is scale, technology or experience, it is not something that Hua Xia can compare with."
Zhao Wanqing also said, "According to the exchange rate between USD and Hua Xia yuan, 500 million USD is equivalent to 1.5 billion Hua Xia yuan. Our highest investment in Hua Xia's movie is 1.2 billion, and it can't compare with your dinosaur battle. I have to admit that this is a huge gap. "
Kree shook his head and said with a smile, "Hollywood has developed for more than 100 years to reach its current status. Hua Xia's film industry has developed for 20 years, but it has already become the world's second biggest movie market, second only to Hollywood. This is already a miracle. If you can catch up or even surpass Hollywood, then it is not a miracle, but a miracle. "
"Yunhai, Wan Qing, come to Hollywood to develop your career. When I went to Hua Xia, I heard the most about the two of you. With your talents, you can definitely make a name for yourself here like the world's martial arts superstar, Mike Lee. "
The Mike Lee that Kree mentioned was a Hua Xia native named Li Xuanwu. In the 1980s, he was famous for his martial arts movies in Hua Xia. He filmed more than 10 good movies and became the most popular movie star in Hua Xia.
In 1986, Li Xuanwu was not satisfied with just being an Asian superstar, so he came to Hollywood alone. He took the name Jack Lee and joined one of the eight major movie companies, Time Warner.
Because of his skin color, Li Xuanwu's career did not go well. He only played minor roles in some blockbusters.
Until 1990, Li Xuanwu finally got the chance to act in Time Warner's "Dragon Whirlwind." It was an instant hit. With 200 million USD investment, the movie's box office reached 730 million USD. Li Xuanwu became a top star in Hollywood.
Time Warner seemed to see Li Xuanwu's value and tailored "Wulin Empire" for him. It was a huge success again.
Until today, Li Xuanwu had starred in a total of 12 films in Hollywood and had always maintained his box office record.
Therefore, he became the world's most famous martial arts superstar, similar to Bruce Lee in Feng Yu's previous life.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "We will definitely come here to develop in the future, but not now."
Kree shrugged and said, "That's too bad. It's getting late. I'll treat you to dinner at the best Frank's restaurant in Hollywood. It's right across the Walk of Fame. The steak and martinis there are some of the best in America. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Why don't we treat you instead? Consider it as a thank you for accompanying us all day."
Kree waved his hand and said, "No, no, no. You people in Hua Xia always say that guests should follow the host's wishes. Since we're here, all the expenses are mine. You can treat me the next time I go to Hua Xia. "
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "Okay, no problem. You're really a Hua Xia person. You're actually very good at using idioms. "
Kree said proudly, "Of course. I like your Hua Xia culture and food. Every time I eat your hotpot and roast duck, I can't wait to swallow my tongue. "
Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "That's nothing. The next time you go to Hua Xia, we'll take you to enjoy real food. "
Kree smiled and said, "That's great."
They chatted and laughed as they arrived at Frank's restaurant.
The decorations here were very simple and elegant. Kerry asked for a red compartment and the few of them sat around it.
After a while, steak, sand flounder, sole mackerel, and other signature dishes were served.
Xiao Yunhai took a bite and nodded, saying, "It's really worthy of its reputation. However, the amount is a bit small. "
Xiao Yunhai and the other three were martial artists and had a huge appetite. The steak here only weighed three ounces, which was not enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.
Kree said indifferently, "If it's not enough, just ask for more."
Zhao Wanqing looked at Kree with some pity when she heard that.
