Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, it was the 15th of June. It was only one day away from the premiere of If You Are the One.
At nine in the morning, Xiao Yunhai sat in Li Bing's Great Wall business car and arrived at Beijing International Airport.
At 9: 30, Xiao Yunhai saw Kree walking out of the airport under the protection of two bodyguards. Along with him was Crown Publishing Firm's Jesse.
Xiao Yunhai had just come out of the car when he suddenly saw Li Xuyang, whom he had met once before, leading a few people to welcome him.
Li Xuyang shook hands with Kree and said a few words. Then, he made an inviting gesture, but Kree shook his head and refused.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and hurriedly walked over. "Kree, Jesse, long time no see."
Seeing Xiao Yunhai, Kree laughed and hugged him tightly. "Xiao, I thought you weren't coming."
Xiao Yunhai greeted Jesse and then smiled at Kree. "Since the two of you are in Beijing, I have to do my part as a host. However, Mr. Li Xuyang seems to be here to welcome you. "
Li Xuyang saw that Xiao Yunhai and Kree's relationship seemed to be very good. He frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Kree, you might not know, but the biggest competitor of 'Traveling the Universe' in Hua Xia is Mr. Xiao's' If You Are the One '. As the representative of MGM Grand, isn't it inappropriate for you to go with him? "
Kree shook his head and said, "Mr. Li, thank you for coming to pick me up. But please don't forget that tomorrow is the premiere of 'Traveling the Universe'. The reason why I came here early is to play with my friends in Beijing for a day. This is my freedom. I hope you won't hinder me. Thank you. "
With that, Kree put his arm around Xiao Yunhai's shoulder and walked with Jesse to Xiao Yunhai's car.
Li Xuyang looked at the backs of the three people and his face was extremely ugly.
"This Kree is too rude. I personally came to pick him up and even arranged a welcome banquet according to the western style. In the end, he actually left with his competitor. This is outrageous. "
An assistant beside him said, "Mr. Li, what should we do now?"
Li Xuyang said angrily, "What else can we do? Call the company and inform them that the MGM Grand Prince has gone out with Xiao Yunhai. The banquet is canceled. "
The assistant hurriedly nodded. "Yes."
In the car, Xiao Yunhai asked, "Have you two eaten yet?"
Chris smiled and said, "Of course not. You said that you would treat us of the delicacies of the Beijing. "
Jesse pursed his lips and said, "I came to Beijing with my father once. We had a roast duck in a hotel. The taste was amazing."
Xiao Yunhai smiled. "Jesse, let me tell you. The roast duck in the hotel is not delicious. If you don't go to Quanjude to eat the authentic roast duck in Beijing, it is equivalent to not coming here. "
"Quanjude?" Kree said, "I have heard this name many times. I always thought that it was a restaurant. So it is a roast duck restaurant. Xiao, let's go to Quanjude. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled. "Okay. Brother Bing, let's go to Quanjude. "
Li Bing nodded and started the car.
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of Quanjude.
After Kree got out of the car, he raised his arms and cheered. "Hua Xia delicacies, here I come."
Xiao Yunhai rolled his eyes and said to Jesse, "Let's go in and pretend that we don't know him. It is too embarrassing. "
Jesse nodded and said with a look of disdain, "I think so too."
Kree shouted, "You two bastards can't treat me like this."
The three of them walked into the restaurant. Xiao Yunhai ordered two roast ducks, one for each of them, and gave them to Kree and Jesse.
The two of them ate until their mouths were full of oil.
Kree muttered as he ate, "I have been to Beijing so many times, and those people only said that they would treat me to authentic Hua Xia delicacies. Although the ones in those restaurants are also good, compared to this roast duck, they are not even a little bit better. "
Jesse nodded and said, "The roast duck I ate last time was definitely not as good as this one. This is great. I love Hua Xia. "
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "The things in a big restaurant are very good. Ordinary people would only go there once when they are treating. Because the food there is too expensive. Usually, everyone will go to the roadside stalls to eat. The snacks there are very special and varied. There are at least a hundred kinds in Wangfujing alone. The taste is even better than that of a big restaurant. "
Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, Kree and Jesse looked at each other and said in unison, "Let's go to Wangfujing in the afternoon."
After eating the roast duck, the two of them were already full.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "You guys are too useless. Let's go. I will take you to walk around and experience our Hua Xia culture. "
For the whole day, Xiao Yunhai took them to see all the major tourist attractions.
In the evening, the three of them went to Wangfujing's snack street. There, Kree and Jesse were dazzled by the variety of snacks in front of them. They wanted to try every one of them, but their stomachs were only so big. How could they hold it all?
The two of them made full use of their intelligence and wisdom. They only bought one serving of each. If they thought it was delicious, they would eat two more mouthfuls. If they didn't, they would just throw it away.
After three hours, the two of them tried more than twenty kinds of delicacies. Looking at the many snack stalls in front of them, Kree burped and said, "Jesse, let's go back. My stomach can't take it anymore. I can only look and not eat. It's better not to look. "
Jesse nodded and said, "I agree. God, I have never eaten so much delicious food in my life. "
Kree said with deep sympathy, "That's right. I will never believe the words of those so-called partners again. They actually didn't bring me to such a good place. It's too abominable. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "It's polite of them not to bring you here. Hua Xia is different from America. In your eyes, this place may be much better than those big hotels. However, in the eyes of Hua Xia people, this is a low-class place. It's not suitable to invite VIPs. Usually, only very close friends will come here. Kree, although you are a Hua Xia expert, you don't seem to know much about the food culture of Hua Xia. "
Kree complained, "You Hua Xia people have too many rules. How can I remember them? Xiao, I need to attend the premiere of 'Traveling the Universe' tomorrow afternoon, but I have nothing to do in the morning and afternoon. Can you invite me here again? "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Of course, no problem. By the way, I haven't asked how many people you invited for the premiere? "
Kree said proudly, "Xiao, let me tell you, you are finished. We have invited more than 30 Hollywood stars alone. Including your domestic artists, there will be 60 people. The scene will be very big. Xiao, no matter what, you can't compare. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "I know, that's why I'm not even going to hold a premiere."
Kree was stunned and said, "Why don't you hold a premiere? You have to know that the premiere will play a huge role in the movie. "
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "If I do, the media will make a comparison between you and me. Just like you said, no matter who I invite, the scale can't be bigger than yours. Then why should I spend money to be angry? Kree, don't think that you will definitely win at the box office just because you invited so many celebrities. Do you know how many fans Wan Qing and I have? "
Kree said, "How many?"
Xiao Yunhai stretched out two fingers and said, "200 million."
Kree opened his mouth wide and said in disbelief, "How is that possible?"
Jessie was also surprised.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "How is it impossible? The other actors are all best actors and actresses. They all have their own fan groups behind them. Kree, with them, it will only take two to three days for my 'If You Are the One' to make a profit. The only difference is how much I can earn. "
Jesse sighed and said, "Xiao, you are really amazing. Kree, I thought you would definitely win, but now it seems that the outcome is still difficult to predict. "
Kree smiled and said, "I don't think I have to defeat Xiao. I think a win-win situation is the best outcome."
Xiao Yunhai asked, "Kree, I heard that your movie ticket is priced at 50 yuan, right?"
Kree nodded and said, "That's right."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Then you have to pray that there won't be any problems with your film. You have to know that 50 yuan is not a small sum for ordinary people. The food you ate today only adds up to 50 yuan. If the fans' evaluation of 'Traveling the Stars' is too low, you will be in trouble. "
Kree frowned and asked, "Xiao, how much is your ticket price?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "I originally wanted to sell it for 30 yuan. But after seeing how aggressive you were, I dropped another five yuan, which is 25 yuan per ticket. It's exactly half of yours. "
Kree's expression changed as he shouted, "Xiao, you are too cunning. I feel very bad now. Why did Huafeng International Cinema set such a high ticket price? "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Because 'Traveling the Stars' is a Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster. Its appeal to Hua Xia's fans is incomparable. Chris, you don't have to worry too much. The problem I'm talking about is based on the fact that the quality of your film isn't good. On the contrary, if your film can be recognized by most fans, 50 yuan per ticket is enough to make you a lot of money. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yunhai slapped his head and said, "Aiya, I forgot. You are my enemy now. Why am I telling you this?"
Jesse smiled and said, "Xiao, it's not bad to be your enemy. Not only do we have the best food to eat, but we can also get your valuable opinions. "
Kree also smiled and said, "Xiao, Jesse is right. There is no better enemy in the world than you. I've seen 'Traveling the Stars'. It's definitely a rare masterpiece. I believe that it will definitely broaden the horizons of Hua Xia's fans. "
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "I hope so."
