The current president of the United States is Ronald Reagan.
When he took office, the United States was experiencing a serious stagflation crisis. Reagan took a series of reform measures and successfully pulled the United States out of the quagmire, but he laid many roots for the disaster.
For example, the gap between the rich and the poor is widening, the economy is turning away from reality, national decision-making is increasingly influenced by the power of Wall Street, national interests give way to capital interests, etc... A considerable part of the bizarre stuff in the United States in later generations comes from this.
Chen Qi had quite a fortune in his previous life. He had been to the United States several times before the epidemic, where he shot guns, ate meat, played with bunny girls, and even went to a casino to play a few games.
Now, the timeline is too early. Transvestite Clinton is still the governor, old witch Hillary is still a lawyer, Obama is still fighting for student loans, and Chuan Bao is the most successful, taking over his father's company and doing a great job.
A career.
Well, these people have all been to Loli Island.
The delegation arrived at the hotel.
Gong Xue still obediently shared a room with Chen Qi, but when Chen Qi entered the room, he used the professional skills of checking cameras in hotels in his previous life, and began to fiddle around - he was always very careful about this kind of thing, so as not to become a domestic leading actor.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm looking for a bug!"
"Are you really fake?"
Gong Xue didn't believe that he got it, nor did he believe it. Chen Qi searched around and said: "I didn't find anything, at least not on the surface. If it's built into the item, then I don't know."
"You can do it yourself, I'll take a bath.
She took off her clothes and entered the bathroom. Chen Qi thought about it and followed her in to wash her hands.
Don't blame him for being suspicious, if he really secretly filmed the passionate scene between the two of them, and used it to make a point, otherwise it would be published, it would be a real threat. Of course, with the candid photography technology of the 1980s, it would be difficult to achieve concealment and clarity.
After taking a bath, Gong Xue felt a little uncomfortable after a long flight, so he lay down on the bed to rest.
Chen Qi looked at the itinerary. He will attend the reception dinner at the consulate tonight. Tomorrow will be just for fun and there will be no units to visit. The day after tomorrow he will go to Los Angeles. Los Angeles is a key city and he will stay there for a few days.
The inspection team from the Ministry of Electronics Industry has its own tasks tomorrow. In other words, tonight's dinner is the only opportunity for communication.
He has to impress the other person and make him agree with him.
Then, he saw a newspaper in the room, so he took it out and read it. In English, some of the news with a lot of advanced vocabulary was hard to understand, but he could understand the popular ones, which were about Hollywood nonsense.
The third part of "Star Wars" was released in May and grossed more than 200 million U.S. dollars at the North American box office. The trilogy's box office in North America alone reached more than 700 million, completely kicking off the Hollywood industrial era.
Americans' feelings for "Star Wars" are equivalent to the Chinese people's feelings for Sun Wukong.
Chen Qi wanted to develop in the United States and started as an author as usual, but Hollywood is different from Hong Kong. The scripts in Hong Kong are all shot and written right now. Many of the scripts in Hollywood were created a few years ago, or were adapted from novels.
If you are not careful, you will crash.
He wanted to write about it, but he could only find it from a later date.
For example, "Jurassic Park", the original novel was only published in 1990, which was quite late.
But he doesn't want to make "Jurassic Park" now. He wants to start with relatively less competitive cartoons and build himself up as a "dinosaur fan" to show himself in front of Hollywood.
"ha!"
Chen Qi looked at it, yawned, and turned to look at Gong Xue, who had already fallen asleep.
He got on the bed and hugged her slim waist from behind. She was a little groggy due to the long flight and jet lag.
I don't know how long it took.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Liu Zhigu shouted: "Xiao Chen Xiao Gong, we are leaving!"
Perhaps he didn't hear the response. Liu Zhigu suddenly became confused and banged on the door: "Xiao Chen, are you in there? Are you in there?"
"Sleep, sleep!"
Chen Qi obviously heard a sigh of relief from outside, and went over to open the door: "Director Liu, are you okay?"
"Why not? I have been frightened from the moment I landed. Don't talk about trust or distrust. This kind of thing cannot be guaranteed. You have to understand." Liu Zhigu was not polite to him and spoke frankly.
"I understand, you can ask others to go."
Chen Qi came back and woke up Gong Xue. They washed their faces, changed their clothes, and went downstairs to wait.
Liu Zhigu counted the heads twice and set off after confirming that everything was correct.
The San Francisco Consulate was established in 1979. Like some of our missions in the United States, after entering the new century, it was often subject to various types of arson, throwing dangerous objects, and news attacks. Most of these criminals were Chinese.
There are many anti-China forces overseas, talking about Gong and independence... We arrived at the consulate.
This kind of dinner is nothing special, just a buffet, drinking and chatting, sometimes dancing, and then taking photos for promotion.
A familiar song "Jasmine" was playing in the banquet hall, and people were doing their own activities in twos and threes. Chen Qigang had a drink with the Consul General and stood at the dining table to look at the surroundings. People from the inspection team were also there.
When he saw that the leader was interested in going to the steak after chatting with others, he rushed over first.
The familiar laughter sounded again, "Comrade Chen Qi, we meet again!"
"Well, please come first!"
"You arrived first... No need to be polite, give it to this little comrade first!"
The leader signaled, and the meal-sharing staff put a piece on Chen Qi's plate first.
"Please use more sauce, thank you!"
The steak was covered with a thick layer of sauce. Chen Qi smiled and said: "I like the stronger flavor. I like to eat steak, braised pork, elbow meat and so on."
"Then your taste is the same as mine. I also like the taste stronger."
"It's a pity that it's not easy to buy in normal times. I ate pork elbow at a wedding not long ago, but I eat it often in Hong Kong."
"Haha, I've heard that you have made great achievements in Hong Kong and earned a lot of foreign exchange for the country."
“Don’t take it seriously, it’s just a fluke.
Chen Qi sighed and said: "Making movies to earn foreign exchange is easy, but who knows how hard it is. We have to consider costs, directors, actors, themes, creativity, the market, and audience preferences. We have to rack our brains for every new film.
.Because the risk is too great, if a film fails, it may not be able to turn around, just like Li Lianjie's film...
The leader just wanted to chat casually, but the other party talked about Li Lianlian's new film, which was quite interesting, and he asked questions from time to time. He is indeed a profound lover of literature and art.
Chen Qi added: "On this visit to the United States, we are going to visit Hollywood companies. American films have been industrialized and have formed a very mature cultural industry. If we want to earn more foreign exchange, we have to expand new businesses. I
I also want to watch cartoons and see if I can learn from Disney’s model.”
"Disney?"
"I think cultural products are interconnected. Disney was the first to produce cartoons and market them around the world. When the images of Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse (already broadcast in China) became well-known, they began to sell toys.
The toys have been sold well and a theme park has been built. This time we want to go and see it.
They have expanded simple cultural products into real industries, effectively extending their vitality, and honestly, making more money." "But it took them decades to mature this set of things, and you can't do it if you want to.
It’s not easy!”
"Someone has to try! I do what I should do, and the next generation will do a little more, and the next generation will do a little more. Maybe it will succeed a few decades later?"
Chen Qi said with a half-serious smile and a half-serious smile: "I have approached American Film to make a few episodes of cartoons, which were broadcast in Hong Kong and received a good response.
I want to start animation first. Whether it is a wishful thinking or a long-term goal, I will try my best to gradually integrate film and television, animation, novels, toys, and amusement parks to form a system. Oh, and there are also video games.
I think it has great potential.”
*..”
A banquet is about multi-party chatting and dealing with different people. The leader thought that this conversation was taking a long time and was about to end it. Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly threw out a "video game"
