New York 2006

Chapter 262 Super wealthy fans
Waiters walked back and forth through the party carrying trays of champagne.Many young men and women were still playing in the swimming pool, as if they wanted to turn this buffet party into a pool party.

Needless to say, this must have been done by Blake, who was playing in the swimming pool with several beauties.

Holding a glass of wine, Luo Ji stood with Thomas Tull, CEO of Legendary Pictures, watching the scene with interest.

Tur smiled and said: "Why don't you go down and have fun? I believe you are much more popular with girls than your best friend."

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Luo Ji pointed not far away: "I think you have bad intentions. You didn't see Christine right there."

"Hahaha." Tur laughed.

Luo Ji became serious: "Tour, your film company's funding must come from Wall Street."

"Yes." Tuer smiled proudly: "Logic, I have financing channels on Wall Street. My company is not short of money."

"Now is the financial crisis. Is your financing going smoothly?"

"Don't worry, I have someone on Wall Street." Tuer thought it was a matter of cooperation between the two, and he continued: "Don't worry, even if there is a financial crisis now, it will not affect the "Pretty Girls" project. I have tens of millions It can still be taken out easily.”

"That's not what I'm talking about." Luo Ji continued: "I wonder what you think of superhero movies adapted from comic books?"

"Superhero movies adapted from comic books are indeed a craze, and many companies in Hollywood are participating." Tur then laughed and said: "Hahaha, you really miss superhero movies! I heard Zaslav say, you Want to invest in their Batman series.”

Luo Ji said with a hint of embarrassment, "I really didn't expect that Warner's CEO would be such a big talker. He'll tell you this too."

"Hahaha." Tur laughed evilly.

Luo Ji ignored Tur's teasing look and said seriously, "If there is a new superhero movie, would you be willing to invest in it?"

"Do you have a new project?"

"You answer my question first."

Tur continued: "It depends on what kind of project it is. Although some superhero movies based on comic books in recent years have been big hits, there are also many that have lost money. Like "Fantastic Four" and "Daredevil" , "The Phantom Killer". Hahaha, by the way, there is also "The Incredible Hulk", which was sniped by us last year. This movie suffered a big loss."

Thomas Tull and I have been collaborating since "The Twilight Saga". They have collaborated on several of the company's movies. They are considered hardcore partners. He has always been a good character and can be trusted.

The most important thing is that he is a member of Hollywood and one of the core allies he wants to find. Luo Ji is still willing to be honest with him: "So, what do you think of Marvel's movie universe strategy?"

Tur thought for a while and said: "Their "Iron Man" was very successful, but "The Incredible Hulk" was a failure. I am not sure whether they will succeed in the end. The concept of the movie universe is very new, and no one can be sure of the final result. What it would be like.”

"What if I say I'm optimistic?"

Tu'er suddenly realized what he was thinking about based on the recent rumors. After observing Luo Ji for a while, he noticed that there was no expression on Luo Ji's face, so he asked in a low voice: "Are you planning to acquire Marvel?"

Luo Ji didn't answer, but stared at him.

Tur then said: "Come on, just tell me if you have anything to do. Don't you still trust me in our relationship?"

"Yes, I do plan to acquire Marvel. Maybe you will see the news in a while." Luo Ji continued: "I need allies now, and the first one I think of is you."

Tu'er stared into Luo Ji's eyes: "Are you serious?"

Luo Ji looked directly at him without showing any timidity: "Do you think I'm joking?"

Tuer was silent for a while: "Why don't you go to Warner? They are richer."

Luo Ji explained in detail: "They are giants. If we bring them on board, the leader of the acquisition may not be me, but them."

"So, you plan to lead this acquisition yourself?"

"Yes, I am very determined this time." Luo Ji continued: "If it weren't for my lack of funds, I might not be looking for allies this time. Instead, I would acquire it alone."

"How much do you plan to invest?"

"At least 60% of acquisition funding."

Thomas Tull looked at Luo Ji in surprise: "Then this is at least one billion meters."

"Yes."

"Where did you get so much money?"

"I still have a lot of cash on hand, and I also plan to mortgage my film company's loan."

Luo Ji then added meaningfully: "You are the first ally I think of, and I have only told you this news now. So, are you willing to participate in my investment?"

The 30-year-old white man in front of him did not answer immediately. He touched his chin and started thinking.Luo Ji waited silently and did not rush.

After a long time, Tu'er looked at Luo Ji seriously: "Logic, tell me the truth, how optimistic are you about Marvel's movie universe strategy?"

Luo Ji said with sincerity, "I'm just as optimistic about Twilight as I was about Twilight."

…………

Remy Haye, Lindsay Lohan, and Lindsay Lohan's new boyfriend Jho Low were standing together chatting while holding glasses of wine.

Luo Ji obviously didn't know Jho Low, nor had he met Lindsay Lohan.They were able to come to this party obviously because of Remy Hay.

Remy Hay is a Malaysian Chinese who plays a Chinese classmate in the school in the "Twilight" movie.

Ruimi was handsome and had a good personality, and Luo Ji liked him very much.There was a party today, and Luo Ji thought of him living in Los Angeles, so he sent out an invitation.

When he heard that there was a party, he asked Luo Ji for two more invitations, saying that he would bring fellow Chinese from Malaysia. Luo Ji agreed without thinking.

This is so normal. Nowadays, many people in Hollywood want to get into Luo Ji's circle. Whenever he holds a party, people will ask him for more invitations.

Luo Ji only directly invited more than 40 people today, but nearly 200 people came.

Jho Low, a Malaysian Chinese compatriot of Ruimi, wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. Although he is fair and fat, he is very powerful.

Lindsay Lohan stood next to him with a sweet look on her face, looking very adoring.Remy Hay also had great respect for him.

The leader of the three was obviously Jho Low, who said with an air of grandeur: "Remy, if you encounter any difficulties in Hollywood, just tell your brother. Although I haven't been here for a long time, I know more big people than you." ”

"Okay." Ruimi nodded. Although he was not familiar with Jho Low, the Malaysian compatriot who introduced him said that he was a big shot.

According to the fellow countryman, Low Taek Jho has a close relationship with the Prime Minister in Malaysia and is a big shot.Of course, Ruimi would not believe it easily. He also checked it on the news and found that it was indeed the case.

This man graduated from the Wharton School of Business in Pennsylvania and is also a billionaire. During this time, he often held luxurious parties in Los Angeles, and the people who came were all top socialites, supermodels, and Hollywood stars.

Such as Paris Hilton, Ivanka, Leonardo, Miranda Kerr.Low also met Lindsay Lohan at a party and became boyfriend and girlfriend.Otherwise, Ruimi wouldn't have brought someone he had just met to Luo Ji's party.

Low said with a smile: "I will hold a party in two days. If you are free, come over. You said you have been in Hollywood for so long, why don't you have a girlfriend? Then I will ask Lindsay to introduce you to some." I know a beautiful woman."

Lindsay Lohan smiled and echoed: "I know a lot of beautiful women, and I believe they will be interested in a handsome guy like you."

Remy said, "Actually, I have a girlfriend, but she's not in Los Angeles during this time."

The two asked curiously: "Who is it?"

"Ashley Greene."

Low looked confused, and Lindsay Lohan took the initiative to explain: "It's the vampire Alice with the power of prophecy in "The Twilight Saga."

Jho Low remembered her appearance, then smiled and patted Remy on the shoulder: "You can do it, kid! Did you get it when you were filming the movie?"

"Yes, it's just that it hasn't been announced to the public yet. It's kept secret. Even Logic doesn't know about it." "Okay." Jho Low then said, "How does Logic treat you?"

Remy smiled and said: "He is very good to me and will take me into consideration for any project. I will participate in all four works produced by his company this year."

"Then he's so good to you." Lindsay Lohan said with an envious look: "Recently, there are rumors in Hollywood that the filming of "World War of the Dead" with an investment of 1.3 million US dollars will begin. Who do you play in it? Role?"

"A soldier can be considered a supporting role."

Lindsay Lohan said: "Except for a few, all actors in Hollywood are like this, slowly climbing up step by step. As long as you are familiar with it, there will only be more and more opportunities like this in the future."

"Uh-huh."

Jho Low suddenly said: "It seems that the Logic conversation is almost over."

The three people's eyes now moved to Logic, who was not far away. He seemed to be saying his final goodbyes to each other.

This was Jho Low's purpose today. He specifically asked his fellow villagers to get to know Ruimi. It was obvious that he wanted to have the opportunity to get to know Luo Ji.

There are many people like Low who want to know Luo Ji.However, few people around Luo Ji dared to take the initiative to bring people over to disturb him. They all met by chance at the party.

Luo Ji was so busy every day that he had no time to receive strangers one after another.

Jho Low asked: "Who is that person standing with Logic?"

"Thomas Tull," Remy said.

Low didn't quite understand, so he looked at his girlfriend Lindsay Lohan, who took the initiative to explain: "The president of Legendary Pictures, one of the big shots in Hollywood, works very closely with Logic."

…………

Luo Ji had just finished his conversation with Thomas Tull and was in a good mood when he saw Remy Hay walking over with two people.

"Logic, hello." Remy reached out his hand.

"Hello." Luo Ji shook his hand and greeted him.

Remy knew that Luo Ji was very busy, so he went straight to the topic: "Logic, let me introduce two people to you. This is Lindsay Lohan, and this is her boyfriend Jho Low."

"Hello." Luo Ji greeted the two of them with a smile. His eyes lingered on the face of Lindsay Lohan for a while. This famous American socialite was one of the participants of the Slut Summit and the former I have been in quite a miserable state over the past two years, but now I seem to be recovering well.

"Logic, I have always admired you. You are the pride of all Chinese Americans." Low said with a smile: "Do you know what I give to others as gifts recently?"

Luo Ji was very cooperative, but he still had to give it to his little brother Remi: "What are you giving me?"

"Your second album signed!" Low said seriously: "I bought more than 100 copies online and give one as a gift to someone I like."

These words were pleasant to hear, and Luo Ji instantly felt very happy, and he also fell in love with this fair and fat Chinese: "Then do they like this kind of gift?"

"Of course I do." Lindsay Lohan interjected: "Logic, you don't know yet. Your signed second album has been so hyped on eBay that it costs thousands of dollars per copy."

Luo Ji said doubtfully: "It is true that relatively few of my signed albums have been released. I only signed a few two days before the album was released, and there are some fans all over the United States. But there are only two thousand copies, so it won't be so hyped. It’s expensive.”

Lindsay Lohan continued: "It's so expensive. If you don't believe it, go and see it."

Luo Ji was a little surprised and said, "Isn't that more than 100 tickets worth 10,000+ meters?"

Low said with an air of grandeur: "It's okay, Xiaoqian. I just want more people to hear the music created by our Chinese geniuses."

"Hahaha, thank you for your support." This flattery made me feel comfortable.

Low said a little embarrassedly: "Logic, actually I am also a fan of yours. I wonder if you can help me sign your record?"

"Don't you already have it?"

"Can the one I bought be the same as the one you signed?"

Are these wealthy fans?Luo Ji liked it so much that he smiled and said, "Of course."

"Can I sign it now?"

"Row!"

Low looked excited: "Lindsay, help me get the record and pen from the car."

"Okay." Lindsay Lohan nodded obediently and walked outside.

This rich fan has trained this socialite so well that the famous bad girl in the whole country is so well-behaved now.

Low Taek Jho said with a smile on his face: "Logic, do you know? You have many Chinese fans in Malaysia, and people from other ethnic groups also like you very much."

"When I went to Malaysia for a concert in 2007, I really felt their enthusiasm." Luo Ji continued: "Are you a Chinese from Malaysia?"

"Yes."

"No wonder you know Remy."

Low said with a smile: "Overseas Chinese will take care of each other. I met him through the Chinese Mutual Aid Association in Malaysia in the United States. I just want to meet you."

…………

It was very comfortable to chat with this fat Chinese man. His conversations always made people happy, and the two quickly became familiar with each other.

Moreover, he also paid attention to the details. Luo Ji signed his name on the three records with satisfaction, and also specially wrote "Dedicated to Jho Low".

However, Luo Ji still had something to do, so he said goodbye: "Ruimi, Lindsay, Mr. Liu, you can continue playing at the party. I have something to do here so I'll leave first."

"Okay." Remy and Lindsay said quickly.

But Jho Low stepped forward and said, "There are a few things I want to say to you privately."

"it is good."

The two came to a secluded place, and Jho Low said, "Logic, I'm holding various parties in Hollywood during this time, and I heard that you are raising funds. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"Haha, I appreciate your kindness, but there's no need for it." Luo Ji only felt the fans' concern for him at that time.

Low Taek Jho did not give up. He said seriously: "I have a lot of free funds here, a lot."

This Chinese-American didn't look too old, less than 30 years old. Luo Ji asked curiously, "How much money can you probably afford?"

"It's about [-] million meters now, and more if you need it."

Luo Ji was slightly surprised and said tentatively, "I didn't ask just now, what do you do?"

“I am one of the heads of Malaysia’s sovereign fund and have access to some of the cash.”

Luo Ji asked seriously: "Aren't you going to ask me what I plan to raise the money for? Just give me this much money. Aren't you afraid that I'll lie to you?"

"Come on." Jho Low spread his hands: "You are Logic, a well-known superstar and a super investment genius. Will you cheat me of this money? Your reputation is your greatest wealth!"

He is so nice to talk to, and has Luo Ji's ability to flatter others before.

Luo Ji thought for a moment.He took out a business card and handed it to him: "You should see a business news about me in a while. If you are still interested then, please call me on my personal phone."
