Stallone took a look at the phone that was ringing and thought to himself:

"Who could call me at this time? Is it the old landlord again, urging me to pay for the rent?

But now, I almost have no money for food. How can I still have money to pay his rent?

Alas! It seems that I have to find some excuses for the landlord again and give him some good words. This is really a penny to stump a heroic man!"

Stallone put down the beer bottle in his hand and walked over to pick up the phone. Before the person on the other side could speak, he hurriedly said:

"Hello, Mr. Landlord, I will pay your rent..."

But before Stallone finished speaking, a familiar voice came from the other side of the phone:

"Hello, my name is Michael Ovitz. I'm looking for Mr. Stallone. This is the contact number he left for us, the CAA agency."

When Stallone heard this, he quickly smiled and said: "Hello, Mr. Ovitz! I am Stallone.

Mr. Ovitz, you called me, could it be that your company found an investor for my movie?"

Michael Ovitz smiled and said: "Mr. Stallone, after my introduction, a big boss from the East is very optimistic about your movie Rocky.

You should tidy up your appearance now, bring your script for the movie Rocky, and come to my company as soon as possible.

I can tell you, Mr. Stallone, you have to go faster and don't keep the big boss waiting.

Otherwise, your investment plan this time will be ruined again. I will wait for you downstairs in the company now.

Okay, hurry up, I'm hanging up the phone, we'll see you later!"

Stallone was still in a daze and before he could react, he heard Michael Ovitz click and hang up the phone.

Suddenly, Stallone roared and shouted "Yeah!".

Then he hurriedly ran to the bathroom, took a shower in three minutes, changed clothes in a hurry, picked up his satchel on the table, ran downstairs to catch a taxi, and ran to the CAA agency.

By the time Stallone, with a hint of apprehension in his eyes, followed Michael Ovitz to the door of Xu Hao's office, it was already twenty minutes later.

Stallone saw two oriental faces at the door of the office, and their bodies were even more muscular than his own. They were obviously strong men dressed as bodyguards, staring at him sternly.

These two Orientals seemed to pounce on them immediately if they made any move and subdued them.

Michael Ovitz quickly faced Wang Mingwei standing at the door and said with a smile:

"Mr. Wang, this is Mr. Stallone. He was brought to me by Mr. Xu."

Wang Mingwei said with a cold face: "Mr. Ovitz, no matter who wants to go in to see Mr. Xu, he must pass our inspection before he can go in, and this gentleman is no exception."

When Stallone heard what Wang Mingwei said, he quickly smiled and said: "Mr. Wang, I know the rules, so please check it for me!"

Wang Mingwei and Meng Hong checked Stallone's body and bag, and then opened the office door.

Wang Mingwei smiled and said: "Mr. Ovitz, Mr. Stallone, please come in!"

Stallone followed Michael Ovitz into Xu Hao's office. He saw two people with oriental faces sitting on the sofa in the office, observing him.

Stallone saw these two Orientals, one of whom was a smiling young man who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old.

The other one was an adult who looked thirty years old with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face.

Stallone secretly thought: "Looking at it like this, this man with gold-rimmed glasses must be Mr. Ovitz's talk about the big boss Xu Shao who is planning to invest in movies.

This young man should be the follower of Boss Xu, or he may be his relative."

When Ovitz and Stallone came to the sofa, Xu Hao and Gong Chengcheng stood up with a smile.

Ovitz quickly said: "Master Xu, Minister Gong, this is the one I'm telling you about, Mr. Stallone."

Xu Hao stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Stallone, my name is Xu Hao, I am from Oriental Xiangjiang, and this is Mr. Gong Cheng."

Stallone quickly shook Xu Hao's hand and said with a smile: "So you are the boss Xu Shaoxu? Just now I thought that Mr. Gong was you, Mr. Xu."

Gong Cheng nodded to Stallone and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Stallone, Mr. Xu is my boss. You must make no mistake."

Xu Hao put down his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Ovitz, Mr. Stallone, let's sit down and talk."

After Michael Ovitz and Stallone sat on the sofa, Ovitz poured Stallone a cup of tea.

Xu Hao smiled and said: "Mr. Stallone, I just heard Mr. Ovitz tell me that you have a movie script and you want to find someone to invest in filming it.

Mr. Ovitz said that your movie script was adapted from a novel called Rocky.

Although I haven't seen your movie script yet, I have read the Rocky novel.

This novel tells an inspiring story. Mr. Stallone, I think your idea is very good, and I also somewhat appreciate your movie script.

So, I asked Mr. Ovitz to call you over, and I ask Mr. Stallone to forgive me for being offensive."

Stallone quickly smiled bitterly and said: "Master Xu, like Mr. Ovitz, I will call you Master Xu.

Mr. Xu, it is really an honor for me that you can read my movie script. How could I possibly say something like this to you, Mr. Xu?"

When Xu Hao heard what Stallone said, he thought to himself: "It seems that Stallone is really not good at talking as said on the Internet in his previous life!

If you listen to what he said, it really tastes like the United States."

Xu Hao smiled and said: "Mr. Stallone, since you have adapted this Rocky novel into a script.

So, you should have bought the rights to adapt the movie from the original author of the novel, right?

I didn’t want to think that after I spent money to invest in this movie, the author would come to bother me if there were some copyright issues in the end.”

Stallone quickly smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Xu, I have already negotiated with the author about the film and television adaptation rights of the novel before I prepare to adapt it into a movie script.

And I also signed an adaptation contract with him, I will bring it out to you, Mr. Xu, and you can take a look at the adaptation contract first."

Xu Hao smiled and said: "Mr. Stallone, please show me the Rocky movie script and the contract for the adaptation rights of the novel. Let me take a look.

Now you can tell me all your conditions, and let me hear what your requirements are."

Stallone quickly took out the Rocky movie script from his handbag, handed it to Xu Hao and said with a smile:

"Master Xu, the contract for the rights to adapt the novel is on the first page of the script. Master Xu, please take a look at it first.

Mr. Xu, I don’t have many requirements for the filming of this movie, as long as you can let me star as the male protagonist Rocky and pay me a salary."

Xu Hao looked at the contract for the adaptation rights and the script of the Rocky movie, and said with a smile:

"Mr. Stallone, your request is really beyond my expectation. Since you don't have any request, let me tell you what I want from you.

Mr. Stallone, as long as you can agree to my request of you, then you can rest assured that I will fully invest in your movie.

And after the movie is completed and released, I will pay you the salary of a second-tier actor in Hollywood.

Moreover, I will also give you a 3% share of the net box office profits of this movie.
Chapter completed!
