Chapter 1,701 Lifting the Ban

1701

Not long after, some of Kurt's information was found by Guo Yunpeng.

"Kurt's daughter, is Beyoncé?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Yes!" Guo Yunpeng nodded.

"No wonder Kurt is targeting me. It's because I offended his daughter yesterday." Xu Taiping said helplessly.

"Did you offend his daughter?" Guo Yunpeng asked in surprise, "What happened?"

"A little thing!" Xu Taiping shook his head, and then said, "Although our situation is not very good now, we can't sit still and wait for death. Yunpeng, as for you, go find your friends, preferably from the Chinese circle. Look Can you provide some help? Lawrence, as for you, go find your friends and see if you can help lobby Kurt. We can give some benefits appropriately, as long as Kurt no longer targets us."

"I don't have many friends, but I can help you talk about it." Lawrence said.

"I'll try my best too!" Guo Yunpeng said.

"Okay, let's all retreat first!" Xu Taiping said.

"What about here?" Guo Yunpeng pointed to the villa. They spent millions of dollars on this party tonight, but they didn't expect it to start at all.

"Do you want to try those girls? If you want to try, then I won't have any objection." Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"Forget it, my brother-in-law is still in the United States! Let's go, just feed the dogs." Guo Yunpeng said and walked out.

Xu Taiping and Lawrence also left the villa together.

A party that cost millions of dollars was in vain.

"Master, you can take my car and I will take you back to the hotel." Lawrence said to Xu Taiping.

Seeing Lawrence's appearance, Xu Taiping nodded, then said goodbye to Guo Yunpeng and got into Lawrence's old Mercedes-Benz.

The driver was Lawrence's assistant.

"Hello, Mr. Xu!" Lawrence's assistant saw Xu Taiping entering the car and quickly said hello to Xu Taiping.

"Hello." Xu Taiping greeted the other party with a smile.

"My assistant is a new recruit, so she didn't know about our relationship when you called last time." Lawrence said.

"It's okay." Xu Taiping shook his head and said with a smile, "Your assistant is better looking than the one last time."

"It's easier to do things! Go to Kelmos Hotel." Lawrence said.

"Yes!" The assistant nodded, then started the car and headed towards the Kelmos Hotel.

"Master... Regarding the things you are encountering now, I actually have a suggestion." Lawrence said.

"What suggestions?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Just withdraw from the Haolaiwu market. There is no need to struggle anymore. I have known Kurt a long time ago. No one can change what he decided. Since Kurt has decided to stay in Haolaiwu, If your movie is banned here, then your movie is destined to not be released in Haolaiwu. If you withdraw now, you can save some costs." Lawrence said.

"Do you think a movie means nothing to me?" Xu Taiping asked.

"This... must be nothing to you. You are the richest man in China, worth tens of billions of dollars, and it's just a movie. Even if it doesn't air, it won't have any impact, right?" Lawrence said.

"Indeed!" Xu Taiping nodded with a smile and said, "This movie is nothing to me. It's just a few hundred million investments. I don't care if it goes to waste. But, for the director, this movie is nothing. To those actors, the meaning is far more important than to me. They worked hard for a year to make such a movie, in order to get a good response around the world and to be recognized by everyone. In fact, I can completely abandon the Haolaiwu market, but Haolaiwu is the temple of movies. If it is not released here, it will not mean much how much box office I get around the world. For those who work on the film, it has to be Without the recognition of Haolaiwu, no matter how many other achievements they achieve, it will not mean much, so... no matter what, I must let this movie be released in Haolaiwu, even if it costs more than the box office. I am willing to pay more."

"It would be great if I could have a boss like you before." Lawrence sighed.

"It's not too late, you have a master like me." Xu Taiping smiled, patted Lawrence, and said, "Even if we really can't survive in Haolaiwu, then go back to China. If you want to develop in China , I will spend all the resources I can for you. I cannot guarantee that you will be the most popular foreign artist in China, but I can guarantee that you will definitely be the foreign artist with the most resources in China. I will not Your calling me master is in vain."

"Thank you, Master." Lawrence said movedly. The reason why he stood firmly on Xu Taiping's side tonight was because his ultimate goal was to get Xu Taiping's support.

He has been mixed up in Haolaiwu to the end, and his marginalization is inevitable. If Xu Taiping is willing to support him in China, then he will definitely usher in a second spring.

Lawrence is different from Zhao Xiaohua and others. He has already been recognized by Haolaiwu. It’s just that Haolaiwu’s update was too fast and he was eliminated. Therefore, even if he doesn’t hang out in Haolaiwu, it doesn’t matter to him. China’s market That is also huge. If you can become successful in China, it will be much better than being a marginal figure in Haolaiwu.

Lawrence was different from other artists tonight. He put all his bets on Xu Taiping. In the end, in exchange for Xu Taiping's promise, Lawrence felt it was worth it.

The car took Xu Taiping back to the hotel.

Xu Taiping got out of the car, then waved to Lawrence, and then Xu Taiping watched Lawrence leave.

Regarding Lawrence, Xu Taiping actually felt like a mirror in his heart. There would never be love without reason in this world, nor would there be hatred without reason.

Although Lawrence was his apprentice, he was forced to do so. Xu Taiping didn't think that Lawrence would be devoted to him just because of his status. To put it bluntly, it was all for profit, so Xu Taiping made a promise in the car. The purpose of that promise was to keep Lawrence firmly on his side.

Although Lawrence is marginalized, as a figure who has been working in Haolaiwu for decades, there is no guarantee that he can be used somewhere!

Even if there is no use for it in the end, Xu Taiping will fulfill his promise and invest a lot of resources for Lawrence in China because of Lawrence's bet on himself.

All of this is just a transaction and has nothing to do with feelings.

Xu Taiping turned around and walked back to the hotel.

I thought it would be a relaxing trip to Haolaiwu, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this in the end.

Xu Taiping didn't want to stir up more trouble, but since people had already started to block him, Xu Taiping felt that he had to do something.

The next day, Xu Taiping and Guo Yunpeng left the hotel together and went to the local Chinatown.

Los Angeles has the largest Chinatown on the entire west coast of the United States, and in this Chinatown stands a huge organization.

The name of this organization is called Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

The Chinese Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce established by Chinese overseas.

The main purpose of the earliest Chinese Chamber of Commerce was to help each other. After all, they were all overseas.

The Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the Huayi Association are similar in nature. However, the Huayi Association mainly uses Jianghu means to protect the Chinese, while the Chinese Chamber of Commerce mainly provides mutual business assistance.

Because of his previous rescue of Lu Damin, Xu Taiping already had a good reputation in the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, so Xu Taiping soon met Jiang Yipan, the president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

After briefly stating his intention, Jiang Yipan was silent for a long time, and then said eight words.

"Racial discrimination, presidential election."

At noon that day.

The Chinese Chamber of Commerce, as well as Xu Taiping's film promotion team, held a press conference at the Kelmos Hotel.

At the press conference, Guo Yunpeng, as the film's producer, tearfully accused the American film censorship agency of racial discrimination against Chinese people. Chinese films have suffered discrimination from the U.S. government, which does not allow Chinese films to enter the Haolaiwu market.

Jiang Yipan, president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, said at the press conference that in a free and democratic country like the United States, racial discrimination should not occur. The Chinese Chamber of Commerce will do its best to help Guo Yunpeng and others to strive for the film to be released in the United States!

This press conference was quickly transmitted to all parts of the United States through major media. Because it was labeled as racial discrimination, the matter quickly fermented.

That afternoon, many anti-racial discrimination organizations in the United States came out and issued statements expressing support for Xu Taiping and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. These organizations called on all people of color to stand up and help those of other races who are discriminated against by the U.S. government.

Following the issuance of these statements, a large number of Chinese, blacks, and Latinos gathered outside the U.S. Presidential Palace to protest and demonstrate. The U.S. government immediately came under tremendous pressure.

The Secretary of State of the United States personally went to the relevant review unit of the film to understand the situation. Then, in the afternoon of the same day, the Secretary of State of the United States personally led a team to review the film. After the review, the Secretary of State announced that the film "Tian Xing" from China, There is nothing prohibited, so this movie will be released across the United States on Christmas Day as originally planned!

From last night when the movie was blocked by Kurt, to this afternoon when the President of the United States personally announced that the movie would be released as scheduled, Xu Taiping successfully broke through in less than 24 hours. The speed of this break was really too fast.

In the evening, in Chinatown, inside the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

"President Jiang, thank you, thank you so much!" Xu Taiping held Jiang Yipan's hand tightly and thanked him solemnly.

"You're welcome, we are all Chinese, and we naturally help each other overseas!" Jiang Yipan, who is in his fifties, said to Xu Taiping with a smile.
