Chapter 392 In Hollywood
As an artist from a minority ethnic group, Guli Nizha's appearance is quite exotic, and she is not as easily excluded in Hollywood as pure Chinese. Even if her acting skills are not good, it is not a big problem for her to get into the modeling and fashion circles.

But people like her are rare in the country.

Beauty may not be a scarce resource, but beauty that can break through the barriers of aesthetic differences and be appreciated by most people is a scarce resource.

There are not many Asian artists that Galaxy Group can promote to overseas markets, so in addition to discovering artists in China, it can also consider discovering young mixed-race artists overseas.

At the briefing of the Radio, Film and Television Bureau yesterday, the leaders said that the Chinese entertainment industry must face up to global competition. Relaxing and lowering the entry system for overseas films is only the beginning. In the future, it will be much easier for foreign stars to develop in the mainland.

It is still feasible to discover mixed-race artists and develop them simultaneously at home and abroad.

As Wang Hao thought about this, he waved over his secretary assistant, told him about this idea, and asked him to organize it into a document and then send it to the heads of several overseas branches.

Guli Nizha was sitting opposite them, listening to their conversation. Only then did she realize that she had misunderstood Wang Hao, and her face turned red.

Seeing that Wang Hao was still going to continue to instruct the secretary about work, she tactfully said goodbye and left, giving her seat to the secretary and sitting in the back herself.

During the rest of the flight to New York, Wang Hao did not speak to Guli Nazha again. He either sat there looking through documents or lay down on the bed in the small bedroom at the back of the cabin for a while.

Guli Nizha felt even more nervous when she saw his performance. At the same time, as she looked at the interior of this luxurious private jet and enjoyed the attentive service of the flight attendants, a feeling of envy and desire sprouted in her heart.

The private plane arrived at the New York airport. Wang Hao changed into thick clothes and appeared in front of everyone. Guli Mizha also put on an even thicker white down jacket.

When everyone got off the plane, there was a special car waiting for them outside, which took them directly to the five-star hotel that had been booked in advance near Hollywood.

Originally, Guli Nizha's residence was not here, but for this kind of trip abroad, she had no need to take Wang Hao's private plane. However, her agent arranged for her to come here. The meaning behind this is naturally self-evident.

So Wang Hao, as a good person, naturally helped her improve her accommodation conditions.

Yes, in Wang Hao's opinion, it was just a matter of convenience. After all, this five-star hotel has always cooperated with their Galaxy Group's branch in the United States, and it was just a matter of opening another room.

No, you don’t even necessarily need to get another room.

At night, when Wang Hao finished taking a shower and changed into his pajamas, he had just taken out his cell phone when there was a knock on the door.

When he opened the door, Guli Nizha, still dressed the same as she did during the day, was standing at his door with a blushing face.

Wang Hao said nothing, but just smiled kindly, then slightly moved aside and the girl lowered her head and went into the house.

"Mr. Wang..."

"Go take a shower first."

"Um……"

Wang Hao, who had already slept for a while on the plane, did not feel very sleepy that night and seemed full of energy.

In contrast, Guli Nizha, who had all kinds of thoughts in her mind along the way, seemed a little tired. Not only did she often yawn uncontrollably with her mouth wide open, but her head also often shook like a chicken pecking at rice.

In order to get rid of her sleepiness, she had to get up and walk around more, sometimes going to the floor-to-ceiling window to admire the night view of Hollywood outside, and sometimes stopping in front of the big TV in the living room.

Finally, when she could no longer hold on, her whole body tensed up, then relaxed, her eyes slightly closed, and she lay on the sofa trembling with lifeless eyes, Wang Hao finally let her go and patted the girl with a smile.

"You need to exercise more. Being an actor is a physically demanding job. Go to sleep."

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Guli Mizha was still sleeping soundly in the quilt, but Wang Hao had already gotten up, worked out in the fitness area until he was sweating all over, and then took a shower and changed into clean clothes.

When he went downstairs to the restaurant in the hotel to have breakfast, Wu Kai, the head of Galaxy Group's North American branch, was already waiting there with another white man in his forties.

"Boss, this is Bryce from the PR company."

Wu Kai stood up and came over, introducing Wang Hao.

"Bryce, this is our boss."

"I know, Wang, one of the highlights of this Oscar, he is the youngest director nominated by China."

Wang Hao shook his hand and said, "Have you eaten yet? How about eating together?"

A few people sat at the dining table, called the waiter over and ordered a few of their most famous breakfast sets, and then ate and chatted.

The topic was not complicated, it was just the public relations matters of this year's Oscars.

This matter was entrusted to Bryce's public relations company. Now that the Oscars are about to begin, the other party has to report the results.

“We spent nearly $200 million on this event, and we basically took care of all the judges.

But Wang, I have to tell you the truth, it is indeed very difficult for your film to win an Oscar this time."

"Very difficult? Then there is still a way." Wang Hao said with a smile while cutting the sausage with the knife and fork in his hand.

Bryce laughed too.

"There will be a cocktail party tomorrow afternoon. Many important people will attend. Maybe you can go and make some friends.

Wang, you have to know that Hollywood is also about circles. Sometimes you have to blend in with them and show your sincerity before they will help you. "

Wang Hao nodded and smiled when he heard this, "That's perfect, I also happen to want to get to know more friends in Hollywood."

The three of them sat there eating breakfast and chatting for a while before Bryce left.

After the foreigner left, Wu Kai, who was in charge of the North American branch, looked at Wang Hao and said:

"Boss, these PR companies are not that reliable..."

He wanted to complain to his boss, but Wang Hao waved his hand to interrupt Wu Kai.

"You don't have to worry about this matter. Let's talk about the work of the North American branch." Wang Hao certainly knew that the public relations company he found was not reliable, but so what? He himself didn't have much expectations for the Oscars.

The reason for hiring a PR company is just to show that the Oscars are very important so that some people can let down their guard.

After all, it is still 2013, not the time when the two sides will fall out in 5 or 6 years. The Galaxy Group also has to develop in Europe and the United States, so it is still necessary to adopt a wavering and neutral attitude.

Of course, Wang Hao also knows that this kind of disguise can only deceive people for a while. Apart from anything else, his movie "Gravity" is now being screened in China. Although it has not been released in North America, the Internet is so developed that it will always be transmitted here.

Once people in Hollywood see the movie "Gravity", it will be self-evident what kind of person he is, Wang Hao.

And even if he can fool around with "Gravity", what about "Wolf Warrior 2" which is already in the project approval stage?
There is also the next film, "Ball Lightning", and the later "The Three-Body Problem 1". The threads in these films are very clear, and Wang Hao has no way to refute them.

So let's keep it secret for a while. Wang Hao put these questions aside and talked with Wu Kai about the development and operation of the group company's North American branch.

After finishing breakfast, he sent a text message to Guli Nizha, and then followed Wu Kai to inspect the North American branch and met with new and old employees there.

By the time I finished the work at the new company, it was already evening. Guli Mizha had already gotten up to take magazine photos, so it was a perfect time to pick her up.

The two of them found a high-end restaurant in the commercial district near Beverly Hills and had a seafood meal. This process made the little girl Guli Mizha feel excited again. After all, she had never enjoyed such treatment since she was a child.

Gorgeous decoration, exquisite tableware, high-end ingredients from all over the world, beautiful and polite waiters, and expensive prices.

It is said that a woman who has been taken care of by a lion will no longer be attracted to a coyote. Now Wang Hao directly gives her the care of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, which greatly improves her vision and requirements.

Of course, Wang Hao also gave Gulimi the infusion of the Shenlong that night. After that, the little girl stayed in his arms and acted coquettishly.

"Good brother, I finally came to Hollywood, how about you accompany me to go shopping tomorrow? I saw a lot of clothing stores here today..."

She is indeed a silly beauty.

Wang Hao looked at Guli Mizha who was acting coquettishly, and knew that compared to playing tricks, she said this probably because she didn't understand the situation.

"I have things to do tomorrow. The Oscars are coming up and I have to attend some social events.

How about this, you go shopping by yourself and use my card."

Wang Hao is already an internationally renowned director after all. It is Oscar season again and his "Inception" has also been nominated. He accompanies Guli Mizha shopping at this time. Do you really think that the paparazzi in Hollywood are vegetarians?

However, Guli Nizha seemed unable to understand the deep meaning of his words, and immediately asked with some expectation:

"Oscar! By the way, my dear brother, your movie has been nominated for an Oscar, right? Will you have to walk the red carpet then? That's an Oscar, my dear brother, I..."

"As long as you work hard, you may have the opportunity to walk on the Oscar red carpet in the future."

Wang Hao interrupted Guli Mizha before she could continue speaking.

"Okay, it's getting late, go to bed."

The next day, February 2, the day before the Academy Awards ceremony, Wang Hao was busy from morning to night, met several groups of people, and attended three cocktail parties.

During this process, the Oscar judges, when chatting with Wang Hao, all expressed, intentionally or unintentionally, that some of the ideas in Wang Hao's films were problematic and not "free" or "open" enough.

In response to this, Wang Hao pretended to be frank and said that after all, he was in China, and the government's management of film and television cultural works there was indeed quite strict, and he was very restricted in terms of artistic creation, which was not as free as in Hollywood. In the future, his focus might shift from China to Hollywood.

As Chinese people, we worship different gods according to the mountain we live on. Wang Hao is not a child anymore, so how could he criticize like a childish troll?

The judges were very satisfied with what Wang Hao said.

As for some Hollywood film and television company executives and well-known artists, producers and directors who also came to him, Wang Hao adopted another strategy. He revealed to these people in advance the news that China was about to further open up mainland film and television.

"Open up the mainland film market? Wang, are you serious?"

A senior executive in charge of film distribution at Fox Film asked in surprise.

"Yes," Wang Hao nodded while holding a glass of champagne, and said affirmatively, "Next year, China's import film quota should increase by 20%, and this is just the beginning. In the future, the box office share ratio and other figures will also be adjusted upwards to a certain extent."

Everyone present was delighted when they heard this. They were all high-ranking Hollywood executives and naturally knew that with the development of China's economy, its film market would account for an increasingly higher share of Hollywood film overseas box office.

They had been planning to further open up the Chinese film market, but before they had even put in much effort, others had taken the initiative to open the door and invite them in.

These Hollywood bosses are certainly confident in their own movies. In the past few years, Hollywood imported blockbusters have occupied a considerable share of the box office in the Chinese film market. Now that the market is further liberalized, it is no different from giving away money.

Wang Hao knew exactly what they were thinking, and at the same time he was laughing in his heart.

You can be proud and laugh as you like, but you won’t be able to laugh for long. In the future, I won’t have to do anything. Just the political correctness will ruin the Hollywood movies that you are so proud of.

When the Black Mermaid, the Black and White Snow White, the Avengers and other characters come on stage, see if you can still laugh.

Of course, not everyone showed kindness to Wang Hao.

During the reception, several people criticized Wang Hao directly and spoke ill of him.

According to them, Wang Hao's [Eastern Galaxy Cinema] set a bad example and his company is also a cancer of Hollywood.

The reason why these people are so excited is that they are the vested interests under the current system in Hollywood. Most of them are associations of behind-the-scenes practitioners in the film and television industry, such as the Writers Guild, the Cinematography Guild, the Extras Guild, as well as senior managers of protection organizations such as animal protection and human rights.

According to the data Wang Hao obtained from the company, the size of Galaxy Group's screenwriting department has expanded by 40% in the past year, and 13% of Hollywood's screenwriting business has been taken over by Galaxy Group's North American branch and then subcontracted to domestic companies.

And this amount shows no signs of stabilizing and is still on the rise.

After all, compared to the local screenwriters in Hollywood who go on strike once a year and repeatedly demand salary increases, the screenwriters in China are truly models of hard work and perseverance.
