Chapter 661: Order From the Head of State

Frank.

The suits and leather shoes, the exquisite ties, were meticulously taken care of from top to bottom, not even a trace of folds could be seen.

He was carrying a briefcase in his hand. What caught people's attention was that there was an obvious and eye-catching sign on the lock of the leather bag, the swastika.

"Mr. Charlie Lee, I didn't expect that I would have the honor to meet you in person, but this will be more conducive to our next conversation." A smile emerged from the corner of Frank's mouth.

That smile is like a wax figure in a wax man's museum, ugly, fake, stiff, and exudes a disgusting smell.

"Mr. Frank, please tell me why you are here. You came to Hollywood from far away Germany... Do you want to buy any movies?" Li Zitao asked, leaning on the chair while moving his buttocks.

At this moment, the cleaning black woman came over. Seeing the situation in the office, she said nervously, "Sir, maybe I should come back later."

"No, no, continue...do what you should do." Li Zitao waved his hand casually.

"Okay, there's nothing to hide. I've brought the order from the head of state." Frank picked up the briefcase at his feet and put it on the table, reaching out and pressing the lock on it.

"Wait, let me think... You mean, your head of state brought orders to Hollywood, am I wrong?" Li Zitao didn't know whether he should be angry or laugh, or he was about to be angry Laughed.

Frank stopped the movement of his hand, looked at him with indifferent eyes, and did not move again until dozens of seconds later: "Yes, please maintain due respect for the head of state."

"I have always respected him...he is a great person, although he doesn't look like that on the outside." Li Zitao said sarcastically.

"Mr. Charlie, I need to remind you... If you refuse to carry out the order of the head of state, all the films you shoot will be rejected by Germany."

Frank's words were very firm, without any wiggle room.

As he said, this is an order from the head of state, not a discussion, and this time he is not only going to inform DreamWorks.

The eight major film companies are all within his target range, and those studios with operations in Germany must either get out of the German market or follow orders.

"Okay, let me see... Your Excellency the Great Head of State, what do you want from Hollywood?" Li Zitao took the "order" from him with a smile. '

It is not allowed to map the 'swastika', it is not allowed to point fingers at the political situation in Germany, and it is not allowed to have any complex or lines that insult the "Führer" in the film.

And one last one, firing all Jewish employees in their Berlin office.

"Fire employees?" Li Zitao put the 'order' on the table with an exaggerated expression, and said with a smile: "Mr. Frank, I think it's just a fun joke."

"No, it's not a joke, it's an order." Frank said with a cold expression.

"If we do that, our Berlin office will become a haunted house." Li Zitao knew that the little man was 'hunting' Jews, but never thought he would be involved.

"Then recruit people again. There are plenty of people in Berlin." This was Frank's answer.

"Well, I'm going to discuss with my presidents, since you've heard of me, you should know that I never pay attention to such trivial matters."

Li Zitao didn't directly refuse, because he didn't know how much influence the German market had on Hollywood.

But letting the dwarf personally send someone to threaten the door is enough to prove its importance.

"I'm staying at the Roosevelt Hotel." Frank turned and left, as swiftly as he had come.

And when he left, he happened to meet Adolf who had arrived.

"Boss, who is that?" Adolf walked into the office, not curious about the maid who was cleaning, but what made him curious was the man who had just left.

He had the air of a soldier, and a stern face he had never seen before.

There are no secrets in Hollywood. The news that Li Zitao lost his temper in the office early in the morning,

It took less than 2 hours to spread throughout the major film industries.

At the same time, let people know how disgusted and intolerable he is for the 'spray', referred to as: zero tolerance!

"The man from Germany, that great head of state brought orders to Hollywood." Li Zitao sneered, pointing at the paper on the table.

"Let me see." Adolf picked up the so-called command, and couldn't help frowning after reading only two lines, and his face completely turned into an iceberg after watching it.

"When did Hollywood need to take orders from the Germans?"

"Now... maybe!" Li Zitao straightened his waist and said seriously: "Adolf, I need you to tell me, is the German market important to us?"

"It is the largest market outside North America, and the second market. Berlin has been the cultural center of Europe for hundreds of years." Adolf has already understood the weight of this order.

Thousands of films are exported from Hollywood every year. If the German market is lost, it will be a disaster for Hollywood as a whole.

"What are you going to do, Adolf, you are the president now!" Li Zitao handed him the question.

To be honest, he doesn't care about DreamWorks' insignificant 'profit,' although it looks brilliant to outsiders, it doesn't matter to Li Zitao.

A few million dollars is not enough for her to buy a yacht or a mansion.

But there are thousands of people who live on it, they need to feed their families, they need to work, they need to work, work, work, because that's how they live.

"I intend to accept his order, though I would like to crumple it up and stuff it into the mouth of the man who brought it." Adolf crumpled up the paper.

His expression was very angry, but it was helpless and compromised. Being angry can't make money.

"Okay, let's do as you said, I hope we don't need to re-edit too many clips." Li Zitao agreed with his opinion.

Like everyone said, no one is against money because it means he is against the whole world.

"Charlie, I saw your big ship plan, and I have to say that it is too risky, and we are likely to lose everything."

For every successful person, when a matter is settled, they will no longer hesitate about it and waste time in unnecessary places.

So Adolf directly turned the topic to the "big ship" project. From his professional and vision point of view, the risk of this film is too high.

Just the initial investment is as high as 15 million US dollars, which is enough to shoot 15 to 20 major Hollywood productions.

Top equipment, best director, actors, producers and logistics.

That's enough money to pay for whatever they want, but now it's only a third or a fifth of a film, or more.
