This little star was right. Richard Kiel was indeed a Communist, and he was an extremely serious and devout Communist.
This guy went to India in the 1980s and saw the Suona. Then, he felt that he understood the truth of Buddhism and began to fully support his teacher's dream. Not only did he donate money and submit bills, he even made two movies to discredit Hua Xia. He was a complete beast.
But then again, Jobs had also been to India to practice Buddhism.
Because of this, when Richard Kiel saw a despicable, sinister, shameless, and dark Hua Xia come to Hollywood and become the star of the show, Richard Kiel couldn't stand it.
After hearing the conversation between Boss Jia and the five small stars, he decided to disgust Boss Jia once and then provoke a conflict. At the same time, he also did the promotion of his movie.
As for the consequences of provoking Boss Jia, Richard Kiel didn't care. After all, he was a devout student. Compared to faith, everything else had to take a backseat.
Second, Richard Kiel felt that Boss Jia couldn't do anything to him. Although Jia Yapeng was indeed very rich, he was just an investor who had just entered Hollywood and didn't have much influence in Hollywood.
Besides, he was a Hua Xia. It was impossible for him to really be recognized by everyone in Hollywood. Even if he offended Jia Yapeng, as long as he didn't offend other bosses, he would still have a movie to shoot. He was in the United States, so how could he be afraid of a Hua Xia?
Third, Richard Kiel had a lot of connections in the industry, so he clearly felt that there was already a faint dissatisfaction with the Daqian in Hollywood. They were jealous that the Daqian's animated movie could get the fifth highest box office in the world and earn hundreds of millions of dollars.
Therefore, the attitude of other company bosses in the industry towards the Daqian was not good. If he disgust Jia Yapeng, he might be able to gain the favor of other company bosses.
After considering all these, Richard Kiel decided to fight with Boss Jia without hesitation.
It was just that Richard Kiel didn't expect Boss Jia to be completely unconventional. He actually directly said all his thoughts in front of the reporters. Richard Kiel was completely dumbfounded.
Once these shameful thoughts were written in the report, his reputation and audience's popularity would be completely ruined.
Boss Jia, on the other hand, was glaring at Richard Kiel viciously.
At first, Boss Jia thought that he had met an idiot. Now, it seemed that he had met an idiot. He had to kill him.
But how to kill this old man was a very interesting thing. He wanted to find the most interesting way to kill this old man.
"Everyone, I have an interesting suggestion!" Suddenly, Boss Jia shook off Richard Kiel and walked to the center of the stage of the premiere ceremony. Then, he held the microphone and said loudly.
Boss Jia's words quickly attracted the attention of all the guests. Of course, before this, almost all of them were watching the conflict between Boss Jia and Richard Kiel.
It was just that they didn't know why this Jia Yapeng suddenly ran to the stage and made an interesting suggestion.
"Tonight is the premiere of 'Titanic'. I'm here to have some fun for everyone. Let's guess what the final global box office of 'Titanic' will be!" Boss Jia smiled and said, "Later, the waiter will give everyone a piece of paper and a pen. Everyone can write down their estimated global box office on the paper!"
"Of course, this is anonymous. Everyone only needs to write down their guesses of the box office number. You don't need to write down your names. Of course, there are two exceptions, that is, Mr. Richard Kiel and me! "
After Boss Jia finished speaking, he looked at Richard Kiel, whose face was livid under the stage, and said, "You old man, why don't we sign a contract? Both of us will guess the total box office of 'Titanic'. Whoever writes a number closer to the final global box office will win! "
"If you win, then I will apologize to you and withdraw from the United States movie market. But if I win, you will publish a public article in the newspaper, withdraw from the cult, and then write the words' DL Suona is a liar, XZ has been the territory of Hua Xia since ancient times! '. How about that? "Boss Jia narrowed his eyes and asked Richard Kiel with a smile.
"Who knows if what you said is true or not …" Richard Kiel heard Boss Jia's words and said in a panic.
"Hahaha, hundreds of Hollywood celebrities here can be our witnesses. I am the boss of the world's top 500. Would I lie to an old man like you?" Boss Jia laughed.
"You …" Richard Kiel was so angry that he was smoking. Moreover, he couldn't refuse the current situation. Forget it, isn't it just guessing the box office? As a veteran who has been in Hollywood for decades, can't he guess a Hua Xia person who is less than 20 years old?
"Okay! I promise you! "Richard Kiel gritted his teeth and said.
"Okay, waiter, please give the VIPs pens and notes. And my dear lawyer, I'll have to trouble you to draw up a contract for me in twenty minutes. I'll sign it with Mr. Richard Kiel in front of everyone here! "
Boss Jia said with a smile. The waiter and Boss Jia's private lawyer at the venue could only helplessly start to get busy. Soon, these things were done one by one. The pens and papers were sent to the guests.
Because it was an anonymous guess, the guests present could write down their guesses quite casually. They didn't have to worry about losing their reputation if they guessed wrong. They wrote down their guesses on the paper one after another.
After 20 minutes, all the notes were collected. The staff began to quickly count the notes. The final result was handed to Boss Jia. Boss Jia glanced at it and said with a smile, "Let me read the final result. 8.82% of the guests think that Titanic's global box office is less than 100 million USD."
"42.12% of the guests think that Titanic's global box office is between 100 million USD and 400 million USD."
"35.62% of the guests think that Titanic's global box office will be between 400 million USD and 600 million USD."
"In the end, 12.22% of the guests think that our movie can exceed 600 million USD, but it can't exceed 700 million USD."
"Oh, two gentlemen think that Titanic's total box office can exceed 700 million USD, reaching 760 million USD or 820 million USD respectively."
"Wait, there is actually a gentleman who thinks that Titanic's box office can exceed 1 billion USD, breaking the global box office record of Jurassic Park and reaching 1.2 billion USD. Oh, I know this word. It must be written by our director Cameron! You are really confident! "
"But actually, you can be a little bolder," Boss Jia said with a smile. James Cameron glared at Boss Jia, but this was a disguised admission that he wrote the note himself.
"Well, it's our turn!" Boss Jia glanced at Richard Kiel lightly and said, "Old man, you go first!"
"No, why don't you guess first?" Richard Kiel said cautiously.
"Because I'm afraid that my guess will scare everyone when it comes out!" Boss Jia shrugged and said, "Since you don't want to, let's both write down our guesses on the note at the same time!"
"Okay!" Richard Kiel nodded. Then, after thinking hard for five to six minutes, he finally bit his lip and wrote down some data on the paper. Boss Jia, on the other hand, didn't even take three seconds. He finished writing the data in one go.
In the end, the two of them put the note on the rostrum at the same time. The surrounding people all gathered around curiously and watched the two of them slowly unveil the number on the note.
Richard Kiel was a little faster this time. He unveiled his note first, and the number on it was 782 million USD!
"So high!" Seeing this data, all the guests exclaimed in surprise. They saw that the conflict between Richard Kiel and Jia Yapeng was so huge. They thought that Richard Kiel would write a relatively low number.
In the end, Richard Kiel's final result was 782 million USD. He became the person with the third highest number of guesses. This Richard Kiel was actually so optimistic about Titanic. How interesting!
But then again, since Richard Kiel wrote this number, he really thought carefully and really wanted to win.
So, how much would Jia Yapeng be behind? He wouldn't write an extremely low number instead, right?
Everyone's eyes were curiously looking at the note in Boss Jia's hand.
[PS: Yes, the author shamelessly ended the chapter, but I believe everyone can guess how much this number is. After all, it is written on the movie box office rankings.]
