At 7 o'clock in the evening, Joseph's black Rolls-Royce stopped at the gate of the Holiday Inn Burbank Media Center on time.

When the doorman saw Li Yiyou walking towards the Rolls-Royce, he opened the rear door for him with great eyesight.

After Li Yiyou handed the doorman a US dollar bill, he boarded Joseph's car.

Although I don't like American life so much.

But he is getting more and more adaptable now.

For example, Li Yiyou is still acceptable to tip the service staff.

It is understandable to serve yourself with enthusiasm and hard work to win better income.

After Rolls-Royce disappeared from sight, another doorman came over.

"How much tip did Lee give you?"

"One hundred dollars!"

"I am worthy of being a big star, I'm generous enough to take action!"

"I would rather ask him for an autograph, but it's a pity. I am his most loyal fan!"

"The hotel rules, there is no way! Someone is coming, I'll go this time!"

...

Half an hour later, Rolls-Royce stopped at the entrance of a private club department.

Joseph's assistant had been waiting at the gate for a long time.

When he saw the familiar Rolls-Royce, he hurriedly came up to meet him.

"Mr. Li, please follow me!"

"Have Joseph and Michael arrived?"

"The two gentlemen have not arrived yet, but they are already on the way!"

Li Yiyou followed his assistant through the quiet corridor and came to a Baroque-style room.

"Mr. Li, what drinks do you need?"

"Just coffee, thank you!"

"Okay, please wait!"

Li Yiyou was the only one left in the room. He looked at the decorations in the room without doing anything.

However, he didn't know much about Baroque and Rococo styles.

I don't bother to find out about that god.

He wandered around the room and finally stopped in front of a group of photos.

This is a set of stills, with several dwarfs with a slightly fat belly, wearing kaki-colored velvet pants, plaid vests, and orange coats.

"Dwarf Kingdom", I have never heard of it.

but

Hahaha

Isn't this a member of Hobbit? Avril's tribe?

Li Yiyou burst out laughing.

Fortunately, Avril was not here, otherwise Li Yiyou would have to talk to her.

While staring at the photos attentively, a generous voice behind him woke him up.

"Haha, my dear Li, long time no see!"

Li Yiyou turned around and saw Michael strode towards him with his arms wide open.

"Ha, Michael, long time no see!" Li Yiyou also smiled and greeted him.

"You're okay... Cough cough... You big bear, be gentle! You're almost strangled me to death!"

Li Yiyou never understood why every time he saw Michael, he was always so energetic.

It's really like a big black bear who has become a sperm.

Monkey Brother is not here, Monkey Grandson can’t stand it!

"Li, you are too thin! Exercise more in the future! Look at my muscles!"

Li Yiyou couldn't help rolling her eyes when she looked at Michael's biceps.

fitness?

My buddy doesn't have that interest!

With that skill and strength, it’s better to go back and do more aerobic exercise with the dwarf.

That is beneficial to physical and mental health.

...

After chatting with Michael for a few words, Joseph also came.

The three of them sat on the circular sofa and started chatting very harmoniously.

"Michael, have you considered my proposal?"

Half an hour later, Joseph finally couldn't hold back and looked at Michael with a serious expression.

Michael looked helpless: "Joseph, you are here again! Are you that anxious?"

"Of course I'm anxious. In less than half a year, my issuance contract with Disney will end. If I hadn't confirmed it earlier, I wouldn't be able to do anything in the past six months!"

Joseph's mirror animation and Disney's release contract will end in March next year.

He doesn't want to cooperate with other film companies anymore and is ready to do it alone.

But this has a problem, the distribution ability of mirror animations is insufficient.

Joseph also didn't want foreign capital to enter the market.

Because he couldn't stand some laymen's fingers at his movies.

And his good friend Michael owns a medium-sized film distribution company.

If Michael can be pulled into the mirror animation, then this puzzle will be completely complete.

This is also why Joseph always wanted to join Michael.

"But man, don't forget! What would the 7 major Hollywood film companies do if we united?" Michael said with a wry smile.

In fact, his proposal to Joseph was absolutely necessary.

They are good friends and have a good personal relationship.

If you get together, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

But if two famous international directors, two of the three big bosses of the "5 billion club" will join forces.

Then all Hollywood film companies will be alert.

Wearing small shoes and tripping are all trivial matters.

The key is that Michael will definitely not get good scripts and big IPs from other companies.

This is the big problem!

If a top director can’t get a good script, is there any difference between it and other ordinary directors?

Joseph lowered his head and said nothing, and the atmosphere was a little heavy for a moment.

Seeing this, Li Yiyou remembered his mission.

Today I am here to be a peacemaker.

"Michael, what will other companies do? Will they join forces to exclude you?" Li Yiyou asked curiously.

Michael shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Lee, if we join forces, other companies will feel a serious threat. After all, we are both top directors."

"Then what?"

"Those good scripts and valuable IPs are all in the hands of those top film companies. In other words, I will not get the good scripts after I join forces! Would I ask me to shoot cartoons after filming Transformers?"

"Can't you collect the script yourself?"

"That's too difficult, just like finding a needle in a haystack!"

Li Yiyou immediately understood.

This is indeed a difficult problem.

A good script is like a good song, and it is not easy to collect.

I also turned on a cheating machine to have so many classic works.

Forget it, buddy has no choice!
