"Zulaski said that although the negatives were recovered, all the props and sets were burned out. So he had to re-built the props and sets, and to retrieve the previous actors." Long Meyer explained, "this would require more money."

"So that's it." Xia Tian nodded.

It is indeed very expensive to buy a set, so there is a saying in the film industry that "three masters are worse than one master". The three professions of lighting, artists, photographers, and are not as good as prop masters.

"Mr. Xia, will you send him the money now?" Long Mayer asked again.

"Don't be busy for now, let me think about it again." Xia Tian waved his hand.

He has not gotten along well with Sophie Marceau these days, so he naturally doesn't want to pay so much now.

"Okay." Long Mayer nodded and did not urge him again.

Because he had long disapproved of Xia Tian's investment in Andre Zulasky, and believed that it must be a loss-making transaction. Now Xia Tian's decision to suspend the investment is really a very wise decision in his opinion.

...

Long Meyer then conveyed the meaning of summer to Andre Zulasky.

In summer, I took a bus back to the Beverly Hills mansion and spent a romantic night with Wang Xiaoxian.

The next day, he and Wang Qixian went to the airport to pick up Wang Jing, Zhang Wan-che and Luo Qirui.

"Director Wang, Director Zhang, Luo Sheng, welcome you to the United States!" Xia Tian welcomed with open arms.

"Thank you, Mr. Xia!" Wang Jing and the other two were flattered to see Xia Tian greeting him in person, and thanked him repeatedly.

"It's good that you're here, I finally have a companion." Wang Qixian also smiled, "Brother Tian is always busy with work, and I'm left alone at home, and there's not even a person to talk to. I'm almost annoyed."

"Yes, this time I come to the United States, don't stay in a hotel. Let's stay in my house." Xia Tian invited with a smile, "My house is very spacious, with rooms and servants, which is much more comfortable than staying in a hotel."

Of course, Wang Jing and the other two would not refuse Xia Tian's kindness. After shirking, they all agreed. Then everyone got into the car and drove towards the mansion in Beverly Hills.

"How is it? Is there any news in Hong Kong recently? Let me talk about it." Xia Tian smiled, "Although I can receive faxes every day, the articles written on paper are not as vivid as you said."

"The biggest news in Hong Kong is that you are doing it by Mr. Xia." Wang Jing smiled. "You are promoting the privatization of listed companies and turning the assets of more than a dozen listed companies into your own. You have really made a fortune. None of the Hong Kong people are jealous."

Xia Tian smiled, "As the saying goes, you only see thieves eating meat, but not being beaten. When I was almost going bankrupt a few days ago, why were they not jealous?"

"Mr. Xia is saying." Wang Jing nodded, "The other big news is the three of us. When we learned that we were coming to Hollywood to film, the Hong Kong media reported it heavily, and it really made us feel very glorious."

"Oh?! Really, I really want to congratulate you." Xia Tian smiled when he heard this.

"Then I would like to thank you for your support, Mr. Xia, otherwise we would not have the chance to come to the United States." Wang Jing said with a smile.

"Everyone is a family, don't be polite." Xia Tian waved his hand and smiled.

...

The car then arrived at the Beverly Hills mansion.

When Wang Jing and the other two saw Xia Tian’s mansion, their eyes widened.

Such a large house is comparable to Victoria Park. The open-air swimming pool, helipad, private stadium, mini park... all facilities are available, making people feel like they are in heaven.

On the way they came, they also fantasized about the summer mansion, and they thought it was just a few more bedrooms. Just like the thousand-foot mansion in Hong Kong, it was a few more rooms than an ordinary house.

But now it seems that the mansion in Xiatian is not a mansion at all, it is a palace.

"Oh my God, Mr. Xia, is this your mansion?" Wang Jing said in surprise.

He bought a thousand-foot mansion in Causeway Bay, overlooking Victoria Harbour and a balcony where you can barbecue. He thought he was so beautiful. But now when he saw the mansion in Summer, he suddenly felt that his mansion was simply a doghouse.

"This must cost a lot of money." Luo Qirui also said with a slut.

He has lived in the United States for nearly six years, but he knows that Beverly Hills is one of the highest housing prices in the United States. People who live here are not rich but noble.

"It's only more than 30 million US dollars, it's cheap enough." Xia Tian smiled.

"More than 30 million US dollars is cheap enough?" The three kings and the other ones felt like they were about to faint.

They don’t want to say 30 million US dollars, they can’t even get 30 million Hong Kong dollars.

"It's indeed cheap enough. This is Beverly Hills, equivalent to the half-mountain area of ​​Hong Kong. Don't mention the cost of building a house. How much does it cost to buy such a large piece of land? At least one billion Hong Kong dollars." Xia Tian smiled, "Now the whole house has only more than 30 million US dollars in land. Isn't it cheap?"

"Ah haha, it's really cheap." Wang Jing and the other two agreed embarrassedly.

The brain circuits of rich people are different. In their opinion, whether it is one hundred million Hong Kong dollars or three hundred million US dollars, it is expensive.

...

After getting off the bus, a servant came forward to greet him.

"Help the three guests move their luggage back to the guest room." Xia Tian ordered.

The servant nodded and then moved their suitcase into the house.

Wang Jing and others couldn't help feeling very happy when they watched Xia Tian lift the foreigners' instructions.

Because Hong Kong was colonized by Britain for a long time, foreigners have always had a high status in Hong Kong.

For example, among the functional departments of the Hong Kong government, foreigners have always held main positions, and no matter how capable Hong Kong people are, they can only be subordinates or deputys.

Among the people, foreigners are also more respected. For example, in Lan Kwai Fong, it is much easier for foreigners to pick up girls than Hong Kong men. Many Hong Kong women take the initiative to jump up when they see foreigners. In comparison, Hong Kong men do not have such treatment.

Therefore, now when Xia Tian treats foreigners with obedience, all three of them feel proud.

"Mr. Xia, you are so amazing!" The three of them couldn't help but praise.

Xia Tian laughed, "Come on, take a break first, and barbecue meat on the grass tonight, and you can try my skills."

"Mr. Xia, can we just read the script first?" Zhang Wan-seong asked.

"Don't worry, you took the plane all night and were tired enough, so you should have a rest. Don't worry about work, it's not too late to be busy tomorrow." Xia Tian smiled.

"No need, Mr. Xia, we are not tired." Wang Jing waved his hand and said, "We have been discussing the script all the way. I don't know what good story you have. We are all curious and you can show it to us."

"Okay." Xia Tian smiled, "Since you all say that, I have to satisfy you first."

He then gave the scripts of "The Little Owner" and "The Pretty Beauty" to Wang Jing and Zhang Wanting.

The three of them took the script excitedly and started to read it carefully.

Although the script is written in English, it is not difficult for the three of them to read.

Soon, the three of them finished reading the script.

"How about it, what do you think I wrote?" Xia Tian smiled.

"It's nothing to say, Mr. Xia, it's simply awesome!" Wang Jing stretched out his thumb and said.
Chapter completed!
