Chapter 443 Cooperation
"Leonardo DiCaprio."
"who?"
"Leonardo DiCaprio." Liu Qian repeated it. She believed that her boss must have heard it clearly, but she added: "Chinese movie fans call him Little Leo."
Leonardo DiCaprio, known as "Little Leo" by Chinese netizens, is an American actor and film producer.
He wants to come to my live studio to broadcast live together?
Bifang's smile slowly disappeared. He felt something very novel, so novel that it surprised him.
"Emm...the 10 million on that ashtray was actually a reward from Leonardo?"
"At the moment, it's like this. He said he's preparing a new movie recently." Liu Qian flipped through the notebook in her hand. "The content is about survival in the wilderness and revenge. There's also a confrontation scene with a brown bear. He also expressed his admiration for you over the phone. He admires what you've done."
Leonardo wants to come to my live broadcast room as a "guest star"?
On the sofa, Bifang was still confused after being told everything.
Before this, he had thought of many possibilities, perhaps a second-generation rich man who spent his money prodigal, or a wealthy man with certain demands, and he had also thought about celebrities.
With Bifang's current influence, ordinary little stars are not enough, but I never expected that it would be Leonardo!
This is not some little star that suddenly appeared from nowhere.
In the previous life, Bifang couldn't even get the other party to come to him, let alone meet him even if he went to find him himself. Now Leonardo has something to ask of him?
Liu Qian paused and speculated in a low voice: "I think Leonardo might really want to be the leading actor in your Disney movie. Of course, I'm just guessing. Maybe he does have a new movie like this, and I checked and found that Leo is an environmentalist."
Yes, Leonardo is a member of the Democratic Party of the United States and a very active environmentalist.
If you pay a little attention to Leonardo's social media accounts, you will find that most of the content he posts is related to the environment.
And more than 20 years ago, the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation was established to support environmental protection projects. In the eight years from 2008 to 2016 alone, the foundation donated more than 59 million U.S. dollars.
He also said publicly: If I didn't become an actor, I would like to be a biologist or an environmental scientist.
After Leonardo paid for the filming of two environmental short films about ecological issues in 2006, he personally produced an environmental documentary "The 11th Hour" the following year.
Highly rated.
In recognition of Leonardo's many contributions to marine protection, the world marine conservation organization "Oceana" also awarded him the "14 Years of Marine Protection" Award.
Don’t ask Bifang why he knows so much, it’s because he has watched that documentary.
In addition to exploring nature, Bifang's hobby is watching documentaries, otherwise he would not regard Attenborough as an idol. Moreover, he is not isolated from the world in his daily life and watches a lot of movies and TV series. In addition, due to his professional habits, he knows more about him.
Even in 2016 in his previous life, when Leonardo DiCaprio finally won the coveted Oscar for Best Actor for the movie "The Revenant", he still talked about environmental protection in his acceptance speech on stage.
Besides, out of ten passers-by, I'm afraid seven have seen Leonardo's movies...
etc!
Bifang was suddenly stunned. What did Liu Qian say just now?
The content is about survival in the wilderness and revenge, and there is also a confrontation scene with a brown bear?
Isn't it The Revenant?
The two worlds are very different, especially in terms of entertainment. Bifang had never thought about this before. He took out his mobile phone and searched for The Wild Hunter, but only found his own hunting videos.
Bifang: “…”
Well, it seems that this movie has not been released yet. When mentioning The Revenant, everyone is referring to myself. Bifang doesn’t know whether to cry or laugh in this situation.
"Does he have that movie called what?"
Liu Qian thought about it for a while, flipped through her record book again, and shook her head subconsciously: "No, he didn't say the name of the movie, but the content is indeed those."
"Okay, did he say when he will come to China? I want to meet him in person."
"Yes, he arrived in the Magic City two days ago, but he hasn't been able to contact you."
"Then let's just stay here at the club and don't go anywhere else."
Bifang made a decision immediately, agreed on a time and place, and waited for the other party to arrive.
After hanging up the phone, Bifang still found it a little funny.
The butterfly effect is truly amazing. It actually made an international superstar like Leonardo DiCaprio approach him on his own initiative, and it was because of the filming of The Revenant.
Survival in the wilderness, hunter, confronting large bears and surviving, I am probably the only one in the world who can be labeled like this and is very famous.
In addition, as is Leonardo's usual style, Bifang didn't find it strange at all that he wanted to meet her.
If the other party really only follows for one day, Bifang thinks this is not a big problem, and the probability of encountering uncontrollable danger is very small.
On the other side, Liu Qian quickly contacted the other party's assistant after receiving the instructions.
Leonardo, who got the news, came quickly. He was informed in the morning and rushed over in the afternoon.
In less than two hours, Bifang saw a very familiar figure. He was wearing a hat and wrapped up tightly in the almost June weather. He was riding a shared bicycle and coming towards them in a crooked manner.
The club has not opened yet, so it is obvious who is dressed like this.
When Leonardo saw Bifang at the door, his eyes lit up. He found a place to park his car, ran over, took off his sunglasses, smiled and shook hands with him, and said something in Chinese with a slightly vague tone but clear pronunciation: "Hello!"
Bifang smiled and shook hands in response: "Hello."
The busy staff around looked around curiously when they saw the big boss Bifang come out in person. But when they saw the face under the sunglasses, they all stopped in their tracks.
"Who is this? His face looks familiar."
"Isn't this the famous star? His name is... Johnny Depp?"
"What does this have to do with anything? It's Leonardo..."
"What the hell, Leonardo!"
"Leonardo, what is this?"
"Didn't they say that the boss's movie project has been approved? Leonardo won't be the male lead, right?"
The staff are all decorators, and they are generally older. Not all of them may know Leonardo, but they are relatively familiar with the news about their boss.
In recent news, apart from the summit of Mount Everest and the opening of the club, the most eye-catching one is undoubtedly the movie that Disney has already started preparing.
The director and crew have already prepared all the scripts, and are just waiting for casting and filming to begin.
At this critical moment, Leonardo came to Shanghai to meet Bifang. It was hard not to think in this direction. For a while, many people took out their mobile phones to secretly take pictures of the meeting between the two and posted them on the Internet.
Bifang looked around and invited, "Shall we talk inside?"
Leonardo nodded, it was indeed not convenient to discuss things in public.
The two chatted as they crossed the path between the lawns and soon arrived at the first venue. But as soon as they entered, Leonardo stopped in his tracks and his pupils contracted rapidly.
A series of thick oil paintings fill the field of vision in an instant, especially when paired with the highly tense light and shadow pictures, it is extremely impactful!
This scene even gave Leonardo the illusion that he had entered the Louvre, but the two were completely incomparable.
On the one hand, there is classical art, which is elegant, beautiful and intoxicating; on the other hand, there is the extreme wilderness style , which is rough, primitive, powerful and shocking.
"OMG, OMG, is this your club? Great, this is really great." Leonardo spun at the center of gravity of the hall, his eyes scanning every painting.
Bifang spread his arms and smiled: "Yes, welcome to my club."
Leonardo stood in the middle for a while, then quickly walked to each painting, carefully browsing until he came to the last black screen and asked curiously, "What is this?"
“It’s a monitor that will sync when I’m live, and when I’m not live, it will stay off like it is now.”
"Is the screen lit for you alone?"
Leonardo exclaimed "Wow" and thought about the scene at that time, feeling a little excited.
"So we'll be up here together on June first?"
Bifang was stunned for a moment.
Leonardo shrugged: "Your assistant's first reaction was to refuse. I guess this should be your usual attitude, but then this attitude changed. I think if things couldn't be negotiated or turned around, you wouldn't have asked me to come here on purpose, and I wouldn't be standing here, right?"
"Hahaha, yes."
Bifang laughed loudly.
