Zhang Xiao smiled and replied: "Because Marvel's heroes are very popular in the Lighthouse Country, and DC has also been successful, Marvel can definitely do it."

"As long as so many of their heroes are put on the big screen and coupled with Hollywood's amazing special effects, success will be easy."

"Actually, many entertainment companies had intentions towards Marvel at that time. Unfortunately, they wanted to control Marvel, and I just wanted to invest and make money without management, so they sold it to me."

Reba took a sip of water and sat there blankly for a while before digesting what Zhang Xiao said. Then she said to Zhang Xiao: "Brother-in-law, did Sister Mimi say, you

Just a gambler?"

Zhang Xiao nodded first and said: "She said it."

Later he shook his head and said: "But, my book is called gambling, but it is called investment."

Reba looked helpless and fell into silence again. After a while, he asked again: "Does Sister Mimi know that you are the second largest shareholder of Disney?"

Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "I told her a long time ago, but she doesn't believe it just like you."

Reba nodded heavily and said: "Of course, it's strange to believe such a big thing all of a sudden."

Zhang Xiao burst out laughing and said, "But that's the truth. There's nothing you can do if you don't believe it."

At 7:30 in the afternoon, the extended Lincoln car parked slowly at the entrance of the hotel where the dinner was held.

The car door opened, and Zhang Xiao in a straight suit stepped out of the car, followed by Reba, who was beautifully dressed and got out of the car with a smile.

Although she was just a sister-in-law, Yang Mi couldn't come this time, and Reba couldn't embarrass Zhang Xiao, so she dressed up carefully.

Wearing a light red floor-length dress, she showed off her hot and voluptuous figure. The diamond necklace around her neck looked particularly dazzling under the light, and her exotic face made her even more charming.

"Mr. Zhang, Miss Reba, hello, I'm Herman." At this time, a handsome middle-aged man in his forties came up immediately and introduced himself respectfully.

Behind him stood Kevin and Chen Li.

This was the first time that Zhang Xiao saw Herman in person. After looking at him calmly, he stretched out his hand and said: "Mr. Herman, thank you for your participation in "The Truman Show", "The Wandering Planet" and

They helped me with the promotion and distribution of the three films "Inception"."

Herman quickly stretched out his hand and said: "This is what it should be."

Zhang Xiao smiled slightly, turned to look at Kevin, and said with a smile: "Mr. Kevin, your reminder seems to be a lot more fulfilling. It seems that your life at Disney is very nourishing!"

Kevin laughed and said: "There is a famous saying in China: a broad heart and a fat body. Marvel movies have achieved great success. It is normal for me to be a little fat!"

Zhang Xiao couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

Seeing that Herman and Kevin, two Hollywood big shots, were so respectful in front of Zhang Xiao, Reba, who was standing behind Zhang Xiao, was shocked and at the same time envied Yang Mi.

Accompanied by the two bosses, Zhang Xiao and Reba walked into the hotel and arrived at the dinner party.

At this time, the crew of "Inception" and the senior executives of Disney Entertainment Company had already spoken. Everyone was holding glasses of red wine and chatting lively.

After seeing Zhang Xiao come in, everyone turned their attention to him.

Herman stepped forward and said loudly: "Everyone, the protagonists of our banquet tonight are here, Mr. Zhang Xiao and Ms. Reba next to me. First of all, let us welcome Mr. Zhang with the warmest applause to speak to us."

"Bah bang bang!"

When the boss arrived, the senior executives of the Disney Film Company naturally did not dare to neglect and gave him warm applause.

Zhang Xiao raised his hand and pressed it down, and the applause immediately stopped.

"Everyone may have seen it on the screen. My Chinese name is Zhang Xi. My English name was randomly chosen by myself. Bruce Zhang is the same as Kung Fu superstar Bruce Lee."

"I am very grateful to Mr. Herman for hosting this welcome dinner for us. As a member of Disney, I am very honored to join this big family."

"As you all know, I have been busy filming movies in the past two years. I have never been to Disney headquarters or even attended a board meeting, but this does not mean that I do not care about Disney."

"There is an old saying in our country that people are self-aware. I position myself as just an actor. Things like managing a company are really not my specialty, so I won't cause you any trouble."

"I came here mainly to promote Director Chris and my new movie "Inception". I believe some of us have already watched the full version."

"However, I haven't watched it yet, but I believe that this film will be very exciting. I hope that you can help me with the global promotion and distribution of "Inception"."

"After the movie is a big hit, director Chris and I will definitely hold a grand dinner to thank everyone for their help. Of course, there will be no shortage of red envelopes."

"How big is the red envelope?" At this time, Alice, the heroine who plays Deni in the movie, asked.

"Hahaha!" Everyone at the scene laughed.

Zhang Xiao shook his head and said: "Ms. Alice, as a beautiful woman, can we be a little more reserved?"

Alice smiled and said: "Zhang, I am a well-known money man in Hollywood."

"Okay!" Zhang Xiao really didn't expect that someone could be so generous in admitting that he is a money addict, and continued: "I can tell you clearly that the size of the red envelope will be the responsibility of the director Chris next to you.

You can go to him directly."

Chris slapped his forehead and said with a wry smile: "Zhang, you have given me the problem of the century!"

"Hahaha!" Zhang Xiao laughed loudly and said: "There is no way, who made you an investor?"

"Everyone, let us raise a toast together and wish "Inception" a global hit. Cheers!"

"cheers!"

Everyone raised their wine glasses high and drank the wine in one gulp to show Zhang Xiao's favor.

Heilman took Zhang Xiao to meet the senior executives of Disney, and Zhang Xiao naturally did not forget to bring Reba to see the world.

These executives are more powerful than the others in Hollywood. Unless they are a great director like Chris or a superstar of the king level, they will not take any artist seriously at all.

But when facing Zhang Xiao, these people's faces were full of smiles.

Especially the female executives praised Reba, a relative of Zhang Xiao, so much that Reba's face turned red and he felt a little embarrassed.

"Director Chris, do you dare to make a bet?" Zhang Xiao came to Chris with a red wine glass, clinked the glass with him, and asked with a smile.

"What bet?" Chris was stunned for a moment.

Zhang Xiao explained: "How about we predict a wave of box office, and whoever loses will get the red envelope for the celebration banquet?"

Chris smiled and said: "Zhang, you seem to be very confident in our movie?"

"That's necessary!" Zhang Xiao nodded.

"Okay, I'll make a bet with you." Chris asked directly, "How much do you predict?"

Zhang Xiao thought for a while and said: "Twenty-two billion US dollars."
