Chapter 1284: 1284 Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta
Seeing that Li Changheng was planning to end HL Media, Frank first got rid of Andre and Randall, who own a lot of shares in the media group, and immediately knew that Li Changheng was coming.
A company that ranks No. 1 in the world in terms of assets controls 40% of American magazines, 20% of newspaper customers, half of the cable TV networks on the east coast, and a media group that ranks among the top three public television stations in the United States.
It can directly affect the election, but Li Changheng is not that stupid, he just needs to make Francis a star and push him in front of all Americans.
And Francis Wood was originally inside the elephant, and he was not even eligible for nomination.
But because it will appear in the eyes of hundreds of millions of viewers on the east coast of the United States during the news period in the morning, noon and evening for a week, it has suddenly become the first choice of elephants.
Moreover, the candidate who was born as an actor in the elephant was also horrified to find that more than half of the well-known actors and directors who supported him before and stood up to help him support him, more than half of them changed their attitudes without hesitation and ran to support Francis. up.
Then several stars of the Knicks and Giants, who have become the favorites of the New York people, also stood up and called on the people to support Francis.
This momentum was so strong that it blinded the donkey, and even the elephant had many people calling Li Changheng continuously.
As for Francis Wood, at this time there was a feeling of ecstasy that Li Changheng was God and that he was chosen by God.
Then he unleashed his full firepower without hesitation, attacking several MPs who had previously helped Beihai Oilfield and Shell.
That crazy energy even made people feel that he didn't care about the election of the big boss at all, and his only purpose was to help Li Changheng beat his opponent.
Many politicians feel that Francis has no confidence in the election, because during Benjamin Arthur's tenure, he was experiencing the largest inflation in the United States in recent decades caused by the second oil crisis.
Moreover, what happened in Persia also blocked dozens of American embassy staff in the embassy.
This is also the main reason why the elephants themselves don't have much confidence.
So everyone felt that Francis could only show his loyalty in this way, hoping to make a comeback four years later when he was fully prepared.
But Li Changheng didn't have the heart to wait, and he knew how to help Francis win in one fell swoop.
Three days later, Li Changheng took Angela and boarded his private plane to Hong Kong Island under the escort of Zhang Tianzhi, Fei Lanqi and others.
In Hollywood, Tom Davis took two brothers, William Miller and Ben Miller, and found a former producer named Brian Colan.
His hair was already gray, and Brian, who was over 70 years old, read the information and said, "I must be crazy, or your DEA is crazy."
Tom Davis shrugged, "Mr. Kelan, you have supervised and produced 6 films related to desert culture. When you were the director, you even took the crew to the desert area to film scenes 4 times.
And now you are not only facing the crisis of bankruptcy, but also need money to maintain the high medical expenses for your wife.
Also," Tom took out an envelope from his pocket, poured out a dozen photos, and pushed it in front of Brian, "Your only grandson is taking advantage of the connections you've spent 40 years building.
Among the various crews and Hollywood stars, selling some contraband enough to make him face more than 30 years in prison.
So we can't think of anyone more suitable than you. "
As soon as Brian heard it, he knew that the other party had checked himself to the bottom.
However, he still reluctantly picked up the photos, and saw that his own grandson was actually selling flour. Several photos also showed that the bastard's business should be quite big, otherwise he wouldn't need to carry money in a suitcase.
And being photographed holding money is often more serious than being photographed holding flour.
Because the former also faces the investigation and accountability of American taxation.
"Damn little bastard, I'm almost broke, and he actually scammed me out of a $20,000 piece of art last month."
The two brothers Tom and Miller laughed, although Brian was indeed about to go bankrupt, but he had quite a lot of private wealth under his name.
Of course, if he really goes bankrupt, there is a high probability that his personal wealth will not be preserved.
That's why he didn't care about his grandson and his two children coming to the door to fight the autumn wind. The only thing he couldn't let go of was his wife who had been bedridden for more than ten years.
And this is one of the reasons why Tom chose him and dared to tell him the plan.
Brian put down the photo, took a few sips from his wine glass, and then said, "I heard that the DEA is Henry Lee's personal weapon to some extent.
Now that you've come to me, that means Henry Lee picked me?
And the place where you plan to go is Tehran. Can I guess that you are here to save people?
And let's get to know the whole of the United States who has been in trouble recently, that Francis Wood? "
The Miller brothers frowned after hearing this, but Tom said indifferently, "It seems that the boss is right, the older you live, the smarter you are."
After speaking, Tom stood up, stretched out his hand to Brian and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Colan, you are now the first producer of "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta"."
"First producer?"
As soon as Brian heard it, he knew that besides himself, there must be other producers who were the real bosses of the crew.
However, the name of "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" made him quickly understand that it was indeed necessary to go to the desert, even Persia's Iran, to film the movie.
After all, Xerxes I led an army of 500,000 to attack Greece on a large scale, and approached the Thermopylae Pass all the way south, but it really happened.
"Aren't you afraid that the Persians will think that you are talking badly about your king?"
Tom shrugged, "It's not up to me to decide, and I believe you should have as much confidence in my boss as I do."
"Henry Lee, the tyrant and king of Hollywood!"
Brian sighed, thinking of Home Alone, Roman Holiday, and a cartoon about a havoc in Heaven, the old guy had to admire Li Changheng from the bottom of his heart.
"But do you know that I became a former producer just because of your boss and United Artists?"
The two brothers Tom and Miller immediately laughed, "Of course we know, so I believe that when the outside world knows about the preparation of the new film, no one will think that you have something to do with us.
And that's one of the reasons why my boss picked you on purpose. "
"Fuck squid", Brian, who was still angry after scolding, simply scolded Li Changheng, "Fuck Henry-Lee, Fuck,,,."
Fortunately, Brian didn't dare to scold Anne in the end, Tom stretched out his hand again, but his expression had cooled down.
"Mr. Corran, believe me, even if you offend the President of the United States, the Mafia, or even God, don't offend my boss, understand?"
