Elon Musk himself is an old man who is very interested in Hollywood. One of his major hobbies in his life is to be involved in the film and television industry. He occasionally serves as a producer or provides some sponsorship for a certain movie. He never tires of it, but at the moment, no matter who he is, His sister is still not influential enough in Hollywood. His sister's independent film company has not yet become a success and is in the stage of looking for a breakthrough.
Under normal circumstances, Spielberg's charity dinner would only be invited to big names. A new face like Musk's sister, who has only been in Hollywood for less than two years, will not be able to get into Hollywood for a while. Such a high-end top-level circle, but this time it was really pie-in-the-sky. Spielberg actually took the initiative to contact her, which made her overjoyed.
Since all Hollywood celebrities are extremely busy and have to make reservations far in advance, Spielberg’s charity dinner had been finalized several months ago. Seeing that the date was approaching, Li Mu suddenly jumped out and said: In front of the entire Western world, he demonstrated his high level of philanthropy, and Li Mu was immediately firmly linked to the concept of charity.
Spielberg also hopes to make his charity organization more famous and recognized by society. This is not enough for him alone. After all, more than half of the charitable organizations and funds in the United States are established by celebrities. In this way, As a well-known director, he is one of the less influential ones, and the credibility of charity organizations is now somewhat lacking. He very much hopes that his charity organization can be as open and transparent as Li Mu's 3321 and be known and recognized by the society, so he wanted to I wonder if I can invite Li Mu through someone. This will greatly enhance the credibility of my charitable organization.
After asking around, no one in Hollywood knew Li Mu, and Spielberg was not the only one in Hollywood who wanted to know Li Mu, so Spielberg had never been able to find a suitable channel to get in touch with Li Mu.
Originally, Spielberg wanted to help connect some venture capital investors who had contact with Makino Technology. However, when he heard those venture capital investors complain that they could not even meet Li Mu in person, Spielberg realized that this line was not possible. Basically it doesn't work anymore.
At this time, it happened that one of Spielberg's assistants had a good relationship with Elon Musk's sister. He told the relationship between Elon Musk's siblings and the relationship between Elon Musk and Li Mu. Spielberg, Elon Musk personally went to China to find Li Mubai's dock. Now Makino Technology is one of the shareholders of PayPal. Elon Musk must be close to Li Mu. If he helps, , maybe able to establish contact with Li Mu.
So, with the attitude of giving it a try, Spielberg personally found Elon Musk’s sister.
Spielberg personally found him, which made Elon Musk's sister extremely excited. She had just entered Hollywood, and what she lacked most now was upper-level resources, and Spielberg was definitely the leader among upper-level resources. This kind of world-class A great director has a strong network of actors, film and television companies, distribution companies, theaters, and capital venture capital. If you can make friends with him, you will definitely be able to form a breakthrough point and quickly gather a large number of upper-level resources.
Therefore, after Elon Musk’s sister figured out Spielberg’s needs, she immediately contacted Elon Musk and gave him a task that must be completed: inviting Li Mu to Spielberg’s charity dinner.
Because of this, Elon Musk came to visit again.
In fact, Elon Musk is also quite uneasy. He knows very well who Li Mu is. A billionaire with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars at the age of twenty is the focus of all walks of life in any corner of the world. , and since he has such a high level of style now, he really may not look down on the entertainment celebrities in Hollywood.
Whether it's Hollywood or its famous directors and famous actors, it forms a huge and dirty vanity fair. In this kind of vanity fair, the really powerful people are never the stars, but the financial backers.
No matter how popular and stylish a celebrity is, it is only for ordinary people; for financial sponsors, celebrities can be tools to make money or playthings in their hands. Even Hollywood stars cannot get along with their financial sponsors. Legs, this is true all over the world.
Therefore, super rich people like Li Mu have strong influence and exposure, and are the targets of Hollywood, so Spielberg wants to invite Li Mu to attend his charity dinner. It seems that it has a certain meaning of climbing high.
What's more, Li Mu seems to have never shown much interest in the entertainment industry to the outside world. It seems that Li Mu may not agree.
But what Elon Musk didn't expect was that after hesitating for a moment, Li Mu actually said to him: "In that case, then I will accept this invitation."
Elon Musk was overjoyed and said excitedly: "You accepted it? You're not kidding me, are you?"
"Of course not." Li Mu said, "When is the specific time?"
"The night after tomorrow! The venue is Spielberg's house. The specific location is the Pacific-Palisades area of Los Angeles. Basically, all the Hollywood bigwigs and film and television company bosses live there."
Li Mu nodded: "OK."
Elon Musk hurriedly said: "I will also attend the day after tomorrow. I will contact you to charter a plane. How about we go together then?"
"Okay." Li Mu smiled and said, "We will set off after noon the day after tomorrow."
After saying that, Li Mu added another instruction: "But try to rent a better plane. I don't want to leave my more than 100 kilograms on an old small plane."
Elon Musk patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, I'll take care of the Gulfstream G300!"
The aviation industry in the United States is very developed, and business jet charter is common in the United States. It only takes more than an hour to fly from San Francisco to Los Angeles, and chartering a business jet doesn't cost much.
The reason why Li Mu agreed to Elon Musk was not only because he hoped to meet several top directors and actors, but more importantly, he hoped to build momentum for himself and Makino Technology through the hot spots of charity in the entertainment industry.
It would be best to establish a closer relationship with Spielberg, Tom Cruise, and Leonardo DiCaprio. These stars are resources for me, and there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future. What's more, there is a Makino Imaging company under its territory. Although it is not profitable now, it is also preparing for the future pan-entertainment era. Accumulating some Hollywood resources in advance is of great significance to the future development of Makino Imaging.
I gave Spielberg a face this time. When I use him in the future, I believe he will not let me down.
…
After Li Mu promised Elon Musk that he would attend Spielberg's charity dinner, Elon Musk said goodbye excitedly. This time he came to see Li Mu, and not only helped his sister solve a major event, but also This gave him more opportunities to enhance his relationship with Li Mu, so Elon Musk was in a particularly happy mood. As soon as he left Makino Technology, he immediately called his sister.
Elon Musk's sister Tosca Musk is anxiously waiting for Elon Musk's call back. For her, whether she can invite Li Mu to Spielberg's charity dinner will be a good idea for her future in Hollywood. development is crucial.
In Hollywood, Spielberg is very popular. Everyone knows how he behaves. Not only does he like to support newcomers, but he also never owes anyone a favor. Those who belong to the standard will respect me and I will respect others. From the fact that Spielberg took the initiative to come to him this time, it can be seen how much he attaches importance to this charity dinner and inviting Li Mu to attend. If his brother can help him handle all this, his future relationship with Spielberg will be better. There is an extra layer of human connection.
After receiving the call, Tosca Musk asked his brother: "Elon, has Li Mu agreed?"
Elon Musk deliberately said in a very regretful tone: "Sorry Tosca, Li Mu is too busy..."
Tosca Musk's nervous mood suddenly fell to the bottom. After a long while, he sighed and said feebly: "There is no way. It is understandable for a busy person like him to have no time..."
Elon Musk immediately laughed out loud and said: "Silly girl, I'm kidding you! Listen up, Li Mu has agreed to attend Spielberg's charity dinner, and I will go with him then. You Now it’s time to tell Spielberg the good news!”
"Really?!" Tosca Musk roared excitedly on the other end of the phone, his voice even an octave higher than usual.
Elon Musk said: "Of course it is true. I just came out of Li Mu's company. I will contact the charter company now and we will fly to Los Angeles the day after tomorrow."
"Great! Great! Great!"
Tosca Musk said a few words in a row that were great, and he was so excited that he could not add anything else. You must know that although Hollywood stars have great influence, there are too many stars, and every one of them is affected. This kind of influence is relatively weak, but Li Mu is different. People like him are like Michael Jackson at his peak. He is the only one in the world, so his influence now is much stronger than that of Hollywood stars. , if he is willing to attend Spielberg's charity dinner, this will definitely become big news in Hollywood!
Moreover, Tosca Musk knew very well that he had done Spielberg such a big favor, and he would slowly return this favor to himself in the future!
Tosca Musk said excitedly to Elon Musk: "Thank you Elon! Thank you so much! Spielberg will be very happy if he knows this news!"
Elon Musk smiled and said: "Then tell him to invite as many media as possible to the scene. Li Mu is a super hot topic right now. He can take this opportunity to promote his charity organization!"
