Chapter 713 Found It

On the plane back to New York, Jiang Hao has been thinking about how to find the thief named Elmo.

Policemen?

Forget it, maybe the gangsters are much better than the police.

Jiang Hao suddenly thought of a person, Mike Corleone, perhaps, it was time to meet the godfather.

As soon as he got off the plane, Jiang Hao called Noodles, "Noodles, contact Mike Corleone for me, just say that I have something to visit him."

Noodles was a little surprised, his boss has always been mysterious and would not easily contact other gangs, but why did he take the initiative to contact the chairman of the mafia committee, Corleone this time?

"Okay boss, I'll call right away." Noodles responded immediately.

Ten minutes later, Noodles called, "Boss, I have contacted Mike Corleone. Mr. Corleone invited you to visit Corleone Manor."

"Send a car to pick me up, I'm at the New York airport." Jiang Hao said.

Jiang Hao walked into the Corleone Manor. It is not luxurious, maybe it is more like an ordinary farm, but when you look at the flowers and plants and the tables and chairs in the courtyard, you will feel a warm feeling. Maybe this is the home Feel.

When Jiang Hao and the godfather held hands together, both of them were slightly taken aback, because to be honest, the two of them did have many similarities in appearance, and people would definitely believe that they were brothers.

The two sat down, lit cigars respectively, and when the cigars were lit, the two looked at each other again. For about 2 minutes before and after, the two of them didn't say a word.

"I asked people from the Bernano family, and they said they didn't know you existed." Mike Corleone said the first sentence, frowning and looking at Jiang Hao, and speaking in Sicilian.

"That's why I didn't use the surname Bernano. No one in this world knows my identity. Those who know have passed away. My name is now Tony Stark, an Italian-American immigrant, that's all." Jiang Hao also spoke in Sicilian.

Mike Corleone looked Jiang Hao up and down, and suddenly smiled, "Then why did you say it again?"

"Because my last name was Bernano, I just hope not to conflict with my own people." Jiang Hao said.

Mike nodded, "Why are you looking for me this time?"

"Please help me, I need to find a thief," Jiang Hao said, taking out the painting he drew from his leather bag, and said: "His name is Elmo, he is a habitual thief, a burglar, he killed people, But wronged a friend of mine and went to jail, I need to find him and prove my friend's innocence."

Mike Corleone didn't expect that Jiang Hao came here to make such a request. He looked at the portrait carefully and said, "Which city and block is he in?"

Jiang Hao shrugged and said helplessly, "That case happened in New York 10 years ago. I don't know where he is now."

"Oh, it's hard to find."

"I know, so I came to ask you for help. I hope to use the power of the mafia across the country to help me find this person. Well, let's limit it to three months. If you can't find it, then forget it. I will Find another way to save my friend." Jiang Hao said.

"Is that friend of yours important to you?"

"No, I just want to do it. He shouldn't bear the grievances, grow old in prison, die with hatred in prison, then his soul will not be redeemed." Jiang Hao said.

"Okay, leave the portrait here, and I will have someone take a photo and send it to various places to find this person." Corleone agreed to Jiang Hao's request.

"Thank you very much, I owe you a favor." Jiang Hao stretched out his hand and said.

The godfather shook hands with Jiang Hao, and said, "I suddenly have a feeling that I may have made a very profitable deal."

Jiang Hao smiled, "Trust me, it's definitely worth the money."

The distribution of "Some Like It Hot" movie was once again handed over to Warner, and the publicity fee of 2 million US dollars was spent, and advertisements about "Some Like It Hot" were everywhere on TV and newspapers.

"Coon Wars 1 and 2" has accumulated a lot of popularity for the director Jiang Hao. When people knew that this film is still a drama, the director will perform in person in the movie, and there are women's big men, they immediately became very interested.

On the TV, there was a picture of Monroe wearing a sparkling evening dress, with a long white mink fur shawl hanging down to the ground, looking at her with charming eyes, the beauty made all the men who saw this scene fall in love.

March 12th is a good day,

"Some Like It Hot" was officially released in major theaters, with more than 1,000 movie theaters. There were very hot scenes at the beginning, and countless people flocked to the theaters to watch the movie. This time, most of them were young couples and adults.

The next day, countless movie reviews appeared in major newspapers.

"Director Jon Hall is definitely a comedy genius, he created the "Coon and Coon" series, and now he has shot an excellent movie like "Some Like It Hot", which has undoubtedly made him one of the great Hollywood directors. "

"Wonderful story, smooth and funny, unexpected plot and crisp, outstanding directing, Jon's acting skills are top-notch, and Jack Lemmon, the Oscar's best supporting actor, is not far behind. Monroe is really a stunner. She is a raccoon. She is just a young and beautiful woman, but in this movie, she showed her sexiest side, I believe she will become the goddess and the object of fantasy in the hearts of countless men."

"Some Like It Hot is definitely Hollywood's most classic comedy to date, and it's worth walking into the theater for a good two hours."

"Perfect, I only have one evaluation is perfect, the director, script, actors and everything are almost two words: "Perfect! "."

"This film review is specially written for 'Marilyn Monroe'. She is sexy, beautiful, lively, and cheerful. Maybe someone is sexier than her, but not as lively as her. Maybe someone is cuter than her, but the cheerfulness revealed in Monroe's bones Her innocence and innocence can defeat all men, she is a well-deserved stunner, and I believe that there will be a place for her in Hollywood in the future."

The praise from all aspects is very high, which has played a very good role in publicity, which makes more people walk into the movie theater out of curiosity, but after watching the movie, some of them are attracted by the plot of the movie, and more men are attracted by the dream. Attracted by Lu, Monroe's name spread quickly, and she seemed to be one of the hottest women in the film industry.

During this period of time, her posters were the best-selling, none of them. As long as there was a picture of Monroe on the cover of the magazine, people would buy it immediately. Even if it was just some reports about Monroe that they had read before, people would read it again Once again, just to get her latest color photo.

Monroe really became popular, and the popularity was so out of control that she even surpassed the scope of "Some Like It Hot" and became a new popular lover.

At this time, different voices came out. Some people said that director Jon Hall should not occupy Monroe. Monroe belongs to all American men and the whole world.

Jiang Hao scoffed at this statement.

A group of guys who secrete excessive ketones and rush into their brains to become hydrocephalus, just obediently spend money to contribute to me, and the rest, fuck your mother.

The box office statistics in the first week broke through 10 million US dollars and reached 13.5 million. This is an amazing figure. The second week continued the hot trend and reached 12 million. 6.8 million.

That month's box office reached an astonishing 40 million. This figure is not unmatched by Hollywood movies, but this figure is still so dazzling. You know, the investment of this movie is only 4 million, and the first month is still 10 times the box office. up.

Even if it is distributed according to the current box office, Hall Films can still receive a share of about 14 million. Excluding the investment of 4 million, it has already made a profit of 10 million.

Connor and Robert had some regrets. Jiang Hao asked them to choose, and they chose the more promising "Coon and Coon 2". Although that movie finally earned 40 million yuan and made the company a lot of money, "Some Like It Hot" also Produced by their company, there is no investment. They only earn a shooting fee, and let the money slip through their fingers. This is the biggest sin.

But thinking that the investor is his own boss, the two of them can only grin, as if they lost only a dozen percent of their share, and the boss has actually earned more than before.

The two made up their minds that as long as the next movie was shot by the boss himself, Hall Company must invest.

"Boss, there is good news. Warner and us settled the box office share of "Raccoon Wars 1", a total of 8.6 million US dollars." Connor said with a smile.

"It's been half a year. If Warner doesn't pay us, then there may be no need for cooperation in the future. Also, tell Warner that I hope the settlement will be faster in the future, and we can settle in batches. You don't have to wait for the overseas box office to come back. Wait for the overseas box office to make a second settlement." Jiang Hao said.

Late settlement is naturally beneficial to Warner, but Jiang Hao doesn't like it. If you still use tricks to deal with small companies, then don't blame me for changing to another publisher. Now he has the confidence.

"I understand the boss, I will talk to Warner." Connor said.

After dealing with the company's affairs, on the way back, Jiang Hao found a roadside public phone to call Noodles. As soon as the phone was connected, Noodles said: "Boss, there is a message from the Italians. The thief named 'Elmo' was found, and they've taken him to New York, where he's being held."
