Chapter 1,700 Banned

1700

At night.

Beverly Hills, Villa No. 8.

Villa No. 8 was very lively tonight, and the sound of music echoed throughout the villa.

Beverly Hills is one of the two wealthy areas in Los Angeles. The distance between each villa is very large. Therefore, one advantage of holding a party here is that you will not disturb the residents and can be as high as possible.

Xu Taiping rented this villa tonight, and he will hold a party here to say hello to the entertainment industry of Haolaiwu.

According to what Guo Yunpeng said, there will be more than thirty first-line artists, producers, directors, film critics and so on from Haolaiwu coming here tonight. The purpose of tonight is very simple, which is to build a good relationship with these people and prepare for the future. The entire movie prepares for entering Haolaiwu.

It was after seven o'clock in the evening.

In addition to the performing band members, there were also several graceful waiters in the villa.

These waiters were carrying plates with expensive champagne and wine.

Xu Taiping was wearing a decent suit and stood at the door of the villa with Guo Yunpeng.

The people invited to the party tonight are all men, not any women.

"Have all these women already negotiated?" Xu Taiping asked after looking at the waiters who were very good-looking and had very good figures.

"Everything has been negotiated and the contract has been signed. In addition, the condoms are ready in the room and can be used at any time." Guo Yunpeng said.

"These foreigners still know how to play." Xu Taiping grinned. The party format in the evening was created by Guo Yunpeng based on a party format that many people played in Haolaiwu. This format is very simple, and all the partygoers are men. , and the waiters are all women, and they are all beautiful women. At this party, whichever girl you like can be taken directly to the room. Hey, hey, hey, after drinking, the whole party is full of fun. extravagant.

In a country where money is paramount, as long as you have money, you can play anything you can think of.

Xu Taiping looked at his watch and said, "Will Kurt definitely come?"

"Yes, Kurt's secretary told me that he will definitely come!" Guo Yunpeng nodded.

"That's good!" Xu Taiping nodded.

Not long after, an old Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of Xu Taiping, and then, a man got out of the passenger seat of the Mercedes-Benz.

The man who got off the car was none other than Xu Taiping's apprentice Lawrence.

"Master!" Lawrence walked up to Xu Taiping excitedly, opened his arms, and hugged Xu Taiping enthusiastically.

"You came very quickly!" Xu Taiping said as he pushed Lawrence away.

To be honest, Xu Taiping really didn't like being hugged by these foreigners. Although Lawrence was his apprentice, but... when he accepted this apprentice, wasn't it also to disgust him?

"Master, long time no see, you are even more powerful than before!" Lawrence said with emotion.

"Shenwu?" This was the first time Xu Taiping heard someone use such a word to describe himself.

"Yes, Shenwu. He is very energetic and powerful in martial arts, so he is called Shenwu!" Lawrence explained.

"Okay, you came here alone?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Yeah, is anyone here?" Lawrence asked.

"Not yet!" Xu Taiping shook his head.

"Don't worry, Master, I'll wait here with you. I know a lot of people, and I can help you introduce them when the time comes!" Lawrence said.

"Okay!" Xu Taiping nodded, and then Lawrence stood next to Xu Taiping.

For Lawrence, being able to stand next to Xu Taiping to greet visiting guests is definitely of great benefit to him. He has been marginalized in Haolaiwu. Now Xu Taiping, as the richest man in China, has landed in Haolaiwu. He is a noble horse, and he follows Xu Taiping to receive guests, which is announcing his relationship with Xu Taiping to everyone! Let those A-list artists, directors, and film critics know that there is someone behind Lawrence!

Thinking of this, Lawrence felt that his whole body was excited, just like when he was a student, he was bullied by gangsters in school, and then one day he was suddenly taken to class by the big brother of the school. The so-called fox pretended to be powerful. , that’s what I should say!

Lawrence doesn't feel embarrassed at all. In the entertainment industry, being able to pretend to be powerful is also a kind of ability.

There was music in the villa, and Xu Taiping and the other three were waiting patiently at the door.

It was eight o'clock and still no one came.

Xu Taiping frowned slightly and asked, "Didn't you tell them the time?"

"I told you, I said before eight o'clock!" Guo Yunpeng looked at his watch and said, "It's eight o'clock now, how can it be possible that no one is here?"

"Call and ask." Xu Taiping said.

"Yeah!" Guo Yunpeng said, picked up the phone and walked aside.

After a while, Guo Yunpeng came back.

"The phone can't be connected." Guo Yunpeng said with a frown.

"Give a few more to others," Xu Taiping said.

"I can't even get through." Guo Yunpeng said.

"Can't even get through?" Xu Taiping looked at Guo Yunpeng in surprise and said, "How is it possible that nothing can get through?"

"If I can't get through, it means that I may have been blocked by these people." Guo Yunpeng said with a dark face.

"Everyone has been blocked?" Xu Taiping looked stern, then looked at Lawrence and said, "Apprentice, help me find out what is going on!"

"Okay, okay!" Lawrence nodded, quickly picked up the phone and walked aside.

Not long after, Lawrence came back.

Lawrence's face looked very ugly.

"What's wrong?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Master, I just asked my friends, and they said that the Haolaiwu Film Association has issued a notice that the entire Haolaiwu will ban your movies!" Lawrence said.

"Block our movies?" Xu Taiping frowned.

"Moreover, the Film Association also said that it is not recommended that artists have too much contact with us, so all the people invited will not come tonight." Lawrence said.

"The Film Association has such great power, can it just block it if it wants to block it?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Of course there is. The Film Association is the largest association in Haolaiwu. Basically, you can do whatever you want in Haolaiwu. Master, how come you are banned by Haolaiwu?" Lawrence asked doubtfully.

"How could it be? This is not simple. Our Mr. Martin must have worked hard!" Xu Taiping said with a sneer.

Just as Xu Taiping finished speaking, a stretched Lincoln drove over from not far away, and then slowly stopped in front of Xu Taiping and others.

Lincoln's window was rolled down.

Martin sat in the car, looked at Xu Taiping with a smile and said, "I heard you are holding a party here tonight?"

"I heard you were arrested?" Xu Taiping asked with a smile.

Hearing Xu Taiping's words, a trace of anger flashed across Martin's face, but soon, this trace of anger was replaced by a joking smile.

"I just walked into the police station for a walk. What a coincidence. I also held a party tonight. There are already many people at the party. Mr. Kurt, the president of the Haolaiwu Film Association, is also here. I am now I'm going to my villa soon, I hope you can have fun tonight!" Martin said with a smile and raised the car window.

As soon as the car window was closed, another section was immediately let out.

"By the way, let me tell you another thing: your movie will never be released in the American market." Martin said this, and then closed the car window again.

The Lincoln drove slowly into the distance.

"It's really a villain's success." Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"Asshole!" Guo Yunpeng cursed through gritted teeth.

"Master... you are doomed now." Lawrence said.

"How do you say it?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Looking at the current situation, Mr. Cote already supports Martin. As long as Mr. Cote supports Martin, then your movie will never be released in Haolaiwu," Lawrence said.

"Why? Can he still influence the market? Can he still influence those who censor films in the United States?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Of course!" Lawrence nodded, "Kurt is the president of the Film Association and has huge influence. Moreover, he also has a strong political background. He is a senior member of the Democratic Party. In the United States, he can be called the godfather of the entertainment industry. , as long as he says hello, your movie will never be released in the United States!"

Just as Lawrence finished speaking, Guo Yunpeng's cell phone suddenly rang, and Guo Yunpeng quickly took out his cell phone and picked it up.

After a few seconds, Guo Yunpeng put down his phone with a stiff expression.

"Taiping, I just received news that the film censorship department in the United States said that the content of our film is sensitive, so it will not pass the review." Guo Yunpeng said.

"You are really right, Lawrence!" Xu Taiping looked at Lawrence and said, "Since you said Kurt is so powerful, why didn't you leave quickly when Martin came over just now? You stood with us , Martin must have noticed it."

"Me?" Lawrence pointed at himself and said with a wry smile, "When Kurt banned people from the entertainment industry from attending your party, most of the people in the entertainment industry were notified, but I didn't get any information. , I have been completely marginalized now, and there is no need to hide."

"My master is incompetent!" Xu Taiping patted Lawrence on the shoulder.

"Don't comfort me. First think about how you offended Mr. Cote. If you can get Mr. Cote to forgive you, then your movie can still be released in Hao Laiwu." Lawrence said.

"Isn't it obvious? I offended Martin, and Martin and Kurt are friends." Xu Taiping said.

"Martin and Kurt are just friends. Kurt wouldn't make things difficult for you because of Martin. There must be other reasons!" Lawrence said.

"Other reasons?" Xu Taiping frowned, and then said to Guo Yunpeng, "Give me some information about Kurt."

"good!"
