Chapter 518 The Governor's Wife's Performance

Lucas explained subconsciously:

"Adam, I'm not a greedy person..."

Wang Yuanchao smiled and patted Lucas on the shoulder, saying:

"I know.

So I came to see you, my old friend.

We have had a friendship for so many years!"

Lucas responded:

"You'll see the amazing Star Wars movies, oh, and Raiders of the Lost Ark!"

Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"How about I recommend you a heroine from Raiders of the Lost Ark?"

Lucas laughed slightly exaggeratedly:

"You are kidding me, when has the person you chose ever been bad? I'll tell Steven (Spielberg) and he will arrange it!"

Lucas himself doesn't have the time to make movies, whether it's Star Wars 2 or Indiana Jones. Apart from using his amazing imagination (as a screenwriter), the rest of the time, he is more like an entrepreneur and investor.

"Jane Seymour is a beautiful British actress. She is from a ballet and theatre background and has pretty good acting skills." Wang Yuanchao briefly introduced her and said, "I'll notify her to go for the casting interview when the time comes!"

Lucas nodded repeatedly. He knew more or less about Adam's romantic ways. He generally didn't recommend people randomly, and if he did, it wouldn't be outrageous.

Jane Seymour, in 73, played the young and beautiful Bond girl Princess Salita in the 007 movie "Live and Let Die", which made her stand out in the international film industry. In 76, she went to Hollywood alone with only $600 to seek a new world. Hollywood did not treat her as a "princess", and she could not find a job for a long time.

The previous Bond girl, Lois Chiles in "Moonraker", accompanied Wang Yuanchao for a period of time.

As a member of the 007 series, Jane paid special attention to this. Before coming to Hollywood, she had even been married twice. Her marriage to her first husband lasted only two years, and her marriage to her second husband only lasted a few months, so this kind of thing is really not worth mentioning.

She knew very well that such an opportunity was hard to come by.

Because many times, you just get slept with for nothing.

Especially from last year to this year, Wang Yuanchao was away from the United States for most of the year. Every time the Lions played at home, many actresses who were looking forward to it returned home disappointed.

Jane couldn't even watch the ball game anymore.

She only has so little money, and she has to do odd jobs to earn a living.

Later, I simply applied for a part-time job as a cheerleader for the Lions.

All I can say is that gold will always shine. After Wang Yuanchao returned to the United States, the team held a cheerleading review.

I understand everything I understand.

Although Jane Seymour was not tall, only 162.5cm, she stood out immediately with her outstanding appearance and perfect body proportions.

After accompanying the big boss to complete the integration of the team, the big boss learned that she was still struggling to find an opportunity to appear in Hollywood, so he said he would introduce her to a good project.

Jane didn't dare to believe it completely, because it was only then that she learned that Lois Chiles didn't film "Moonraker" because of her relationship with the big boss, but was invited to accompany the big boss because of the outstanding performance of Moonraker...

However, after following a boss like Adam Wang, her financial situation became very good, she was no longer in trouble, and was able to sign a contract with CAA.

In 1975, after Michael Ovitz founded CAA, he soon received angel investment from Wang Yuanchao.

Because Wang Yuanchao owned a film company and could not directly hold shares in the agency, he invested in the name of his son Ronald Reagan Wang. Before the child was a minor, Michael Ovitz was Ronald Reagan Wang's joint actor.

In other words, until the 90s, Ovitz didn't have to worry about anyone interfering with the company's business.

This is a very cost-effective angel investment.

Wang Yuanchao only invested money and did not interfere in the business. He eventually acquired 40% of the shares. It was a small company and easy to operate.

Thanks to these funds, CAA has grown faster than ever before.

Because CAA can really help some projects attract investment! Behind CAA is the big money man Adam Wang!
After signing with CAA, Jane Seymour quickly got the leading role in a project she had previously taken a fancy to, "Somewhere in Time", also known as "Seventy Years Later", the leading actor was Christopher Reeve, the leading actor of "Superman", and his salary alone accounted for one-fifth of the investment amount of the crew.

Everything is changing for the better.

She had no idea what the opportunity that big boss Adam was talking about was, but she felt that it was worth it to successfully get the leading role of "Back 70 Years".

After reaching an agreement with Lucas, the crew of "Star Wars 2" quickly took action. They were already several months behind schedule, so they had to hurry up.

Wang Yuanchao usually didn't go to watch the Woodstock Music Festival in August. There were only the same few people and the same few songs every day, so it wasn't very interesting.

But this time, he accompanied Xixi to watch the opening ceremony.

Today, the music festival lasts for four nights and three days, with the opening ceremony on the first night and the closing ceremony on the fourth night being particularly eye-catching. All heavyweight guests are selected to perform in these two time periods.

Karen Zipperton performed at the opening ceremony. Her and her brother's band is still called the Carpenters, although she has changed her last name to Zipperton. Last year, Zipperton successfully ran for governor of Arkansas!
Now, she’s the wife of the Governor of Arkansas!
This topic directly makes this year's music festival very attractive. Among the fifty states in the United States, which governor's wife can perform for you? ! !

The key is to have real skills!

The reason why Wang Yuanchao and Xixi participated was not only because of Karen's performance at the opening ceremony, but also because her husband, Wang Yuanchao's roommate and good friend, La Zipperton, also came in person to cheer for his wife.

Of course, he came here not only to cheer for his wife, but also to solicit investment from Wang Yuanchao.

He should know better than many people the jobs and tax revenues generated by music festivals.

As a small southern state, Arkansas has a well-developed agriculture, a rapidly growing manufacturing industry, and a nascent tourism industry. It desperately needs a music festival like this to expand its status in the minds of the people across the country.

Everything else is empty talk, only economic development is the way to go!

Moreover, Little Rock, the capital of Arkansas, “little rock, rock” means both rock and rock. It is very suitable for hosting a music festival, isn’t it?

Today, there are many different music festivals across the United States, but none of them can match the status of the Woodstock Music Festival.

The Adventure Project, the company behind the Woodstock Music Festival, also holds some irregular music festivals across the country, similar to state tours. Many people cannot travel long distances to the music festival mecca, Woodstock, New York. So, listening to a music festival at home is a good choice.

Zipperton wants to move up the Little Rock tour and then see what conditions are needed to make Little Rock a fixed music festival.

Although he came with a mission, it did not prevent La Zipperton from watching the crazy men and women in the audience.

Some girls simply opened their shirts, with nothing underneath them. They just shook their bodies to the beat of the music, looking so free and unrestrained, which made him drool.

He simply couldn't imagine, if there was such a music festival in Little Rock, wouldn't he be able to enjoy it with the people...

The guy next to him probably didn't know La Zipperton, so he whispered:
"It's just the opening ceremony, and the atmosphere hasn't gotten going yet. Many people think that the opening and closing ceremonies are great, but the fun is in between!"

It’s not like Zipperton hasn’t come to play before!

It's just my first time back since returning to Arkansas to take up my post.

But he still cooperated very well:
"Oh? What do you say?"

The other party raised his eyebrows and said:
“The theme of the festival is ‘Peace, Anti-War, Fraternity, Equality’.

It's about equality, so if men can go shirtless, so can women.

When the atmosphere is right, many women will take off their clothes and jump around. Just imagine the scene! If you were to join in, well…

They also like to play trapeze, with the girls with perfect figures flying on their hands, and the men can touch them openly!"

La Zipperton nodded pretending to be honest and expressed his envy, but in fact, it was no different from what he had before.

Why does the Woodstock Music Festival have an unparalleled charm compared to other music festivals?

It is these popular parts in the middle where people can indulge themselves without worrying about their safety.

Many music festivals wanted to emulate Woodstock, but their imitations were neither fish nor fowl. They were either too erotic or too violent, sometimes involving violence or even loss of life.

But Woodstock was different. Its slogan was that anyone who was not peaceful would be taken away by others around him. You could only rely on your ability to attract others, not brute force.

There is a Blackwater security team next to it, and helicopters are on standby there, ready to descend from the sky to maintain order at the first opportunity.

At every music festival, saboteurs appear every now and then, but they are quickly caught by the double attack of enthusiastic audiences and Blackwater security.

Everyone knows that outside competitors are trying to destroy the "peace, fraternity and equality" of the festival.

Therefore, every audience member who comes here will consciously maintain order, and some enthusiastic audience members even volunteer to lead everyone to read the festival declaration in various places!

It is just to ensure that they can reasonably and legally show their charm and flirt with men or women. At least that is what Zipperton thinks.

Girls don’t have to worry about being ugly. Here, as long as you value fraternity and equality, you will have infinite charm and there will be countless strong and handsome men for you to choose from.

It doesn't matter if a boy is not strong enough. Many girls are not superficial people who only look at your muscular face. You can talk about music, life, and have a deep communication.

There are many people who have gotten rid of being single and entered into marriage here. Isn’t it incredible?

When there are many people, you will always meet someone you like.

One of the biggest sponsors of Woodstock every year is the various Dudu companies. Of course, their sponsorship method is rather subtle, which is to provide enough Dudu for the ubiquitous vending machines.

Therefore, Zipperton firmly believes that if Little Rock can have such a music festival, it will greatly boost the local economy!
