Hollywood Hunter

In this era, the procedures for private jets to China were very troublesome. Chen Qing still insisted on taking the Gulfstream V ultra-long-range business jet under the name Westero.

I really like the feeling of returning home.

Moreover, don’t sit in vain, this is a welfare provided by a man for the Westeros system executives and his own woman, both Chen Qing.

The BBK company invested in the Westeros system released the first VCD product on July 15th. Chen Qing and Emperor Brandt, the female head of the Scooper company, arrived in China a week in advance and participated in person. The process of production, distribution and marketing before and after the release of this VCD will deepen the understanding of the Chinese market.

Arrived in China on July 6th, and followed up with other work such as the construction progress of the Scots VCD Core Parts Factory in Dongguan City, Guangdong Province. When the group returned from China, it was already August 1st.

In the Gulfstream V cabin.

When the stewardess woke up to Emmanuel Brent in the bedroom compartment, reminding the plane to land an hour later, the tall French girl unconsciously stretched out, and her slender body came against the bulkhead of the compartment.

With a sigh, a Boeing 767 figure of a man lining the line in his mind.

Gulfstream V is already one of the top private business jets of this era, but it is still much worse than someone's Boeing 767 private jet. Just like this so-called bedroom, it can only be called a cubicle. , One bed occupies most of the space and stretches out like a card owner.

This is certainly not the case with the big boss’s Boeing 767. Chatting in private, Emmanuel also knew that Chen Qing’s first time was on that guy’s Boeing 767.

It is said that, well, I feel pretty good.

Somehow yearned for some reason.

He got up and walked to the bathroom next door and simply washed his face. Emmanuel came to the front cabin. Chen Qing was sitting on the side sofa, reading a copy of The New York Times, and there was a thick table on the small table in front of him. A little newspaper, it seems that most of them have been turned over, and some are marked.

This trip to China was mainly Chen Qing and Emmanuel. Lin Su stayed in New York.

In Gulfstream V, in addition to the two girls, Chen Qing has one guard and one guard, and four crew members directly under the Westeros family, a total of eight, all of whom are women.

Asking the stewardess for a cup of coffee, Emmanuel sat down on the sofa opposite Chen Qing, picked up a newspaper and opened it at random, this is a "Wall Street Journal", the headline news is "future water world" box office failure impact era Warner's stock price fell 3.7% on the first trading day of the week yesterday.

Go through it quickly.

Yesterday was July 31st, Monday, July 28th, "Future Water World" ended the first weekend screening, and the painting began three days. This end-of-life science fiction action blockbuster that burned a huge amount of US$175 million due to the loss of control of the project was only credited. $17.35 million, with an estimated box office of about $25 million in the first week.

According to the first-week box office results and media and audience word of mouth, the film's local box office is about 60 million to 70 million US dollars.

The whole thing is actually no suspense from the beginning.

$175 million investment, unless it reaches the box office level of the DC movie universe or the "Jurassic Park 2" still being released, Time Warner is expected to recover a huge investment of $175 million. Based on Hollywood’s past experience, a completely out of control project The quality of the film is often unsatisfactory, and the probability of success is very small.

The article also specifically mentioned that "Jurassic Park 2" produced by Daenerys Entertainment, after the last weekend's screening, the cumulative box office has reached 377.829 million U.S. dollars, which is only a shortfall of 20 million yuan from the 400 million threshold.

The contrast is strong.

The powerful Daenerys Entertainment is expected to receive about 65% of high-end box office accounts from local cinema dealers. Based on the $400 million local box office calculation, Daenerys can recover $260 million. "Jurassic Park 2" The total cost of production and distribution is 180 million US dollars,

Grab money.

Thinking about it this way, Emmanuel remembered one thing and looked up to Chen Qing: "Chen, did Jurassic Park 2's box office in China also exceed 100 million yuan. Also with this VCD, I found China's demand for entertainment products is too huge. Do you think this is a suitable investment area?"

"Of course," Chen Qing still kept his eyes on the newspaper in front of him, nodded without hesitation, but just poured cold water at random: "However, the boss has already arranged this in person and we can't intervene."

Whenever Chen Qing mentioned Simon, Emmanuel could not help giving up some restlessness, and heard Yan Yan leaning forward: "Why can't we intervene, is Simon not letting it?"

Chen Qing looked up at her and said, "Because we can't play, it's not necessary. Aiman, China's government control in these areas is very strict. We invest in it, not only to spend a lot of energy to coordinate all aspects, but also to make money. The sex is still very small, the boss is actually only in the market cultivation, maybe only 10 years later to see results. Just like VCD, you have also seen that China’s VCD industry can only grow and rely on pirated resources, there is no Genuine living space."

Emmanuel knew for a moment that Chen Qing was telling the truth, but she was not reconciled: "We don’t have to invest in movies in China, this time in Shanghai, the disco where we went, you I also saw that the venue is large enough to accommodate thousands of people, but the ticket is close to $10, and it can still be so hot every night."

Speaking of this, Chen Qing also moved a little.

Thousands of people in a disco, I have asked someone to ask, the annual turnover can be more than 200 million yuan, the gross profit exceeds 50%, an absolute super cash cow.

However, Chen Qing can only shake his head, regretting: "Aiman, you should do your job well, don't think about it. We feel the same, now China is full of opportunities everywhere, but unfortunately our energy is Limited, it is enough to do the work in hand."

Emmanuel also sighed, and then said again: "Hey, you say, why can we BOSS do so many things at the same time?"

Chen Qing raised his finger to himself and pointed to Emmanuel: "You are wrong, the boss is not doing many things at the same time, he just found many people to help him do many things at the same time, just like you and me."

"We can also find many people."

"Can you rest assured to give the chairman of Scopper to others now?"

Emmanuel shook his head immediately: "No."

Chen Qing shrugged: "That's it. In fact, people are very easy to find. The most indispensable thing in this world is people. The problem is that it is difficult to find the right people. I think the most amazing thing about our boss is that we can find many right people. In less than ten years, the entire Westero system has been created. This talent is not available to everyone."

Humanity's greatest strength is its ability to imitate.

Chen Qing formed his own team and promoted Emmanuel as chairman of Scooper, in fact imitating Simon's employment strategy.However, even if the team recruited after arriving in the United States has gradually proved his strength, Chen Qing still instinctively feels that he is too far away from his own boss.

The specific difference is there, and it is difficult to make it clear.

About an hour later, Gulfstream V landed and left Los Angeles International Airport. The east coast of the United States was just over ten o'clock in the morning on August 1.

There are already people waiting for the two women.

After meeting with Simon for lunch, we will arrive at Malibu Daenerys Studios and enter through the southern entrance of the studio. The driver had to drive directly to the uppermost administrative area. Emmanuel was here for the first time. Looking at the hustle and bustle of the movie theater, and seeing that the time is less than the 12 o'clock agreed, I actively proposed whether I can go shopping in the movie theater.

A girl from Simon's Assistant Office, who was responsible for the pick-up, did not refuse, and everyone got off at the parking lot on the first floor of the studio area.

After Emmanuel got out of the car, instead of going to the giant studio, which is often curious by ordinary people, he ran to the cliff fence not far away. Chen Qing and the female assistant named Amanda Foer Keep up.

Coming to the guardrail and looking at the endless open sea, Emmanuel couldn't help but say: "The boss would really pick a place. This should have been the most superior seaview mansion area. It turned out to be a movie base, which is too wasteful. ."

Amanda saw Emmanuel raise her arms as if embracing the sea, and quietly pouted with a sense of superiority in her heart.

Of course, I wouldn't admit that I was jealous of the red-haired French girl's tall body and delicate face.

As a member of Simon’s assistant office under the leadership of A girl, Amanda’s ability in all aspects is outstanding, but her appearance is only barely about 70 points, which is actually not bad, just a big vase that is amazing with the big boss. By comparison, it pales in comparison.

After seeing the seascape, Xiao Xiao felt a little emotion, and the three turned around to the studio area.

Amanda introduced it clearly and pickily, and did not bring the looking two women into a studio for a visit. The superiority in the tone was undoubtedly revealed.

They are all fairies, how could Chen Qing's two daughters not see it.

When leaving the studio area and walking to the second floor, Emmanuel finally couldn't help but asked, "Don't you say that Daenerys Entertainment has three major film and television bases, Burbank, Malibu, and Melbourne, Australia? , How come everyone seems to be crowded here?"

Amanda was slightly ahead of the two women by a half step, and Wen Yan asked back: "Do you know how many movies will be launched by the three brands under Daenerys Entertainment in a year?"

Emmanuel also realized that the sting he had just made might be stupid and could only shake his head.

Amanda said: "In recent years, there have been more than 40 films. Even though the current stage of the film is more and more focused on real shooting, such a huge base, there are enough lenses to be completed in the studio. And, whether it is Danielle Silk Studios or Melbourne Studios are mainly based on virtual studios for CG special effects shooting. At this stage, CG special effects technology is not more powerful than Daenerys. Other studios also need to rent our studio Take some shots with the technical team. You see these people are busy, in fact, they are all rushing to work, and many studios have already made appointments after three months. Therefore, for many traditional scenes, we have to go to Fox or Warner Studios. Rent a studio."

Chen Qing was also unhappy with Amanda's tone, and found the question and asked, "What about Burbank Studios?"

Amanda seemed to be waiting for the two women to ask questions and slightly raised the corner of her mouth: "Burbank Studios, "Friends", "Desperate Housewives" and "Song Fei Zheng Zhuan" were all shot there."

The three TV series that Amanda said are now well-known in the United States. Chen Qing and Emmanuel immediately understood that Universal Studios in Burbank was mainly used for TV series shooting.

Feeling the urge of the reception girl, neither woman had much excitement about visiting.

Hurrying through the second-floor office area, three people came to the top-level administrative area.

About ten minutes before twelve o'clock, Amanda took the two girls directly to the high-end small restaurant inside the studio. Girl A has arranged lunch here in advance, and is facing to put the tableware at a compartment table in person. Alison, Amanda lost her breath, and greeted respectfully before leaving.

Chen Qing sees that A girl is busy and diligently wants to come forward to help. Alison has shook her head: "No, it's okay. Please sit down first. The boss will arrive soon."

Chen Qing made an expression of anticipation on her face and said, "I just heard Amanda talking about the boss's affairs all the way. A, what is he busy with?"

Girl A pulled the chair a little bit apart and heard the words, then quickly whispered: "A movie thing."

Chen Qing yelled, and soon turned to other places.

Emmanuel next to him couldn't help blinking. When did Amanda talk about Simon?She began to ask about Simon, and the female assistant said straightforwardly that there was no confidentiality agreement.

It took a moment for Emmanuel to respond.

Can't help but glance at Chen Qing.

so bad.

It’s just a word, it may make the girl lose her job.

Although he has a high academic background and high IQ, he is actually not bad in dealing with people, but in front of Chen Qing, Emmanuel still feels ashamed.Probably because the Chinese have all learned "Sun Tzu Art of War", maybe you should read this book if you have time.

Everyone chatted a few words, and Simon soon appeared.

When Chen Qing saw Simon coming in, he stood up and embraced the man without hesitation. He also kissed the man with a missed look.

Emmanuel was not as bold and active as Chen Qing, and originally wanted to hug him politely. After seeing him let go of Chen Qing, he reached out and was a little disappointed, but still kept a decent smile on his face and shook hands with the man. Still can't help thinking, shouldn't the Oriental woman be very reserved, why do you behave like an Oriental woman instead?

After greeting, everyone sat down together, girl A did not leave, quietly beside the man.

When lunch came up, the topic quickly earned a lot of money in China's VCD industry, which has grown rapidly in the past six months. Backgammon's sale of VCD has made a good start some time ago.
