Chapter 1190 Money Doesn't Matter
Love is like poison, the smarter the person, the deeper the poison, the more difficult it is to extricate himself, and finally sink into the abyss of love.
Elizabeth is such a person, this woman, business-inherited Murdoch's mind, but once she is carried away by love, she is not as happy as before.
The custom version of the extended Cadillac, just parked outside. Emmerich sent Ye Ming out, and when he saw this kind of domineering car, he couldn't help but admire: "The extended version of the Cadillac, with a total weight of 4.5 tons, uses a 6.5-liter engine, and the explosion-proof device is the world's top.
It's a very popular car. I found that I liked this car at first sight, and if I use it for a movie in the future, then I think it will be very interesting. β
As a director, you always have to find inspiration, and always pay attention to some details in life, which is one of the secrets of success. And Ye Ming knows very well that Emmerich is really not lying, in 2012, he also filmed a movie [Shocking Crisis], and the presidential car on it is this kind of Cadillac.
Ye Ming came to shoot the day after tomorrow, it was the actors of the crew, what kind of car to use to pick up and drop off, this is not a big deal, and even Ye Ming himself has nothing in the past.
But now that Ye Ming has finished filming with the crew the day after tomorrow, he is a guest of the Murdoch family, and he uses an extended version of Cadillac to pick him up, which is a matter of face for the Murdoch family.
On such a question, James would not let others gossip.
Ye Ming said with a smile, "Americans always like to finish their own president, if you really want to make a similar movie, then I think there should be no problem at the box office."
You can ask Mr. James to lend you this car for filming. β
Later at the time of filming, Emmerich was not borrowing Murdoch's car. It's hard to say, but the filming of [Shocking Crisis] is really remarkable.
Directors Emmerich and Anna gave Ye Ming a big hug, and then said goodbye, and the filming of Ye Ming's acquired crew officially ended.
Inside the villa in Beverly Hills, James was very angry. A person was drinking red wine, and at this time, after seeing Ye Ming, James took out a crystal cup and poured it and said: "Lafite in '82, try it, it's pretty good, and the hanging cup is definitely world-class." β
When tasting a red wine, the degree of hanging glass is one of the most important signs, but at this time, Ye Ming did not exist at all. He drank the red wine, and he didn't pay much attention to it, but he took the glass and shook it, and the bewitching red shimmered in the bright light, like a spirit dancing in the dark.
Ye Ming tasted it with a smile and said, "This thing, in our Huaxia, there are many of them." Every bar in the big city has 82 years of Lafite. James was very affirmative: "No way, until now." The real Lafite of '82 is numbered all over the world, a total of 1,382 bottles, of which 800 bottles are still sealed in the chΓ’teau, and the rest can be verified in every bottle on the market.
It is impossible for Huaxia to have so many Lafite, although I admit that Huaxia is now not inferior to the United States in terms of luxury consumption. But so much wine, it is impossible to be in China. β
Ye Ming said politely: "What do you know about this, whether it is or not, but people are called Lafite in eighty-two." A little better, it is indeed the red wine of '82. A bar that is not high-grade can give you French red wine as a conscience price. Anyway, there are a lot of people over there who are willing to spend money. β
Just like Xiangshi Blue Mountain Coffee, Huaxia consumes twice the output of the entire Blue Mountain region every year, this figure, you can know that there is a problem at a glance, but many people in China are still happy to do it.
It's like Lafite in '82, what's so good to drink, but more people want this face, so Lafite in '82 seems to be a symbol of the rich.
James shrugged his shoulders and said: "Bill Gates has no way to take it, his three or four hundred sets of programs, Huaxia is said to be able to get it for dozens of yuan."
If Bill Gates can open the Chinese market, I can't tell if the market can kill Coke. β
Ye Ming was not in a hurry and said, "What's this?"
Note that it is not a dozen, but a dozen, if it is converted into dollars, that is, the price of two or three dollars, who asked you to produce computers in the United States or something, they are now produced in China, and you deserve to say anything about polluting the environment and so on.
Don't talk about this nonsense, what's the matter, don't you say that you invited me to drink?"
Later, Qiao's mobile phone was actually the same as that produced in Huaxia, and it was not wanted by the copycat at all, and it deserved it. Although some of Huaxia's copycat mobile phones do not use the brand of Qiao Gang Leader, but in terms of performance, they can completely explode Qiao Gang Leader's products, with a price of one or two hundred yuan, and they are not distressed if they are stolen.
James is actually drinking alcohol, and it can be seen from his emotions that he is drinking alcohol at this time, so on such a problem, he actually feels the most aggrieved.
At this moment, James thought for a while and said: "I found out about something today, I don't know if I should tell the old man, therefore, please come over and give the staff a look, there are some problems, as the authorities, I may not be able to see clearly." β
Ye Ming was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "You are not the kind of indecisive person, your character is still very decisive in Hong Kong City." Don't say it's your sister's problem?"
If it is a business problem, then at such a time, it is true that I haven't seen how James is embarrassed, and if he can be embarrassed like this, then there seems to be only one possibility at this time, which is his sister Elizabeth's problem.
James expected Ye Ming to be able to guess, so he nodded and said, "That's right, it's my sister's business, you say, if it weren't for this, would I be so embarrassed?"
In fact, my father asked me and my sister to perform these two films, and there was also mutual supervision. In the relationship of competition with each other, I also really found some problems with the supervision. Elizabeth's [My Robot] crew recently had a large amount of money flowing, and 20 million US dollars was paid out, which is very abnormal.
You must know that the total budget of this movie is only 100 million. 20 million is not a salary for Will Smith, and there is no such thing as a salary for giving it all at once. But it just means that at this time, the [My Robot] crew has 20 million directly paid.
All this money was made with the German film and television company, but I didn't find out what the crew got from the German company. I am very distressed about this question, how to do it, whether to expose this problem. β
Ye Ming hesitated for a moment and shook the red wine. Unhurriedly, he said, "Do you mean, what do you mean by the years that your sister used to have accounts with that company in Germany? I heard that it was a hairstyling company with [my robot], and if it was said that there were account transactions, wouldn't it be strange?"
James said very helplessly: "If it is just a transaction with the distribution company, then I have nothing to say, but now is not the time for the distribution company to intervene." You also make your own films, and a film is even said to have a distribution company involved in post-production. But now [my robot] has not officially started filming, and as a result, 20 million has been crossed, which is a fair and honest payment from News Corporation.
The president of that company was Matthew Floyd. β
This person is Elizabeth's male junior, and of course, Elizabeth is also the female junior of others. Who made these two have their own marriages and families now?
At this moment, Ye Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Regarding taxation. Especially in terms of film and television taxes, which one is heavier, the United States or Germany?"
Why would he ask such a question, in fact, at this time, it was because Ye Ming wanted to know what Elizabeth wanted to do, and if it was to say that the relevant taxes in Germany were relatively low. In the past, it is equivalent to money laundering, which is normal in such a situation, some large international companies often play such a trick, Cayman, Virgin Islands, etc. are good tax havens.
James is very affirmative: "We News Corp also have a business in Germany, so I know a lot about taxes in Germany on this issue, which is much higher than in the United States." Therefore, even if it is to avoid taxes, it is not enough to go to Viking, and our News Corp does not say that there is no office.
This is obviously just for the money of the people in the family. That's what makes me depressed. My sister didn't have a problem with my father or News Corp. β
Ye Ming nodded, and said very affirmatively: "This is almost certain, after all, it means that on such a problem, your father has also disappointed him, this is not a reason, you are afraid that after you report, it will cause your father's dissatisfaction, thinking that you don't care about the affection of your sister and brother, and you are a ruthless person."
But if you don't report it, your father may think you're an irresponsible person in the future. That's why you're embarrassed that you're going to make a report?"
James immediately nodded and said, "Yes, yes, this is the case, in fact, I don't want to do this in my heart." But if I don't do it, I'm afraid that this is a test for my father, a test to see if Wu is tolerant enough for my sister or something. I'm confused right now, anyway. β
Ye Ming nodded and said, "If it is you who did this and it is your sister Elizabeth who reported it, then maybe your father is more likely to listen to it."
That's because you are a man, your father's requirements for you are naturally high, you are very likely to inherit the position said by the chairman of News Corp. in the future, and your father may test whether you are open-minded enough to tolerate your sister. β
If it is strictly a question like this, then at this time, it is really difficult to say about the affairs of the wealthy, and Murdoch is naturally a very cunning person who can become a billionaire.
James immediately said, "If I don't report it, then I'm also responsible as my sister's overseer in this regard." β
Ye Ming smiled and said: "What responsibility do you have, this is family affection, do you know it, this is family affection, why did your father let your sister and brother supervise each other instead of letting the company's financial department supervise it."
This is very important, in fact, your father doesn't care much about this money, of course, if it is better to make money, but if it is to say that even if you lose some money, it is not the most important thing in your father's eyes. The important thing for him is to see the affection between your siblings.
So, your sister transferred out, 20 million, doesn't your father really know? Actually, maybe your father is looking at how you handle this matter. Don't be rash, your father doesn't want you to report it. β
"Why?" said James, very incomprehensibly, "Isn't it my sister's fault that I am responsible, as an overseer, to report it to my father." β
Ye Ming nodded and said: "This is your father's ingenuity, if it is said that you tolerate your sister now, then in the future, suppose, suppose that after your father sees God, you will also have a tolerant mentality towards your sister." I think this is what your father needs the most. As for the question of whether money is or not, do you think your father is poor in money?"
Of course, this is not bad money. There are few people in the world who dare to say that they are richer than Murdoch.
James listened to these words, and said thoughtfully: "Yes, things can really be understood like this, no wonder my father has been watching the Romance of the Three Kingdoms recently, feelings are all learned from this, this trick is really very cunning, if I reported my sister, I guess my father will be very unhappy?"
This is the cold sweat that scared James out. Ye Ming thought for a while and said, "What is the distribution cost of [My Robot] movie." β
Matthew Floyd's company is a distribution company, although it is an empty shell, but after all, it is a film and television distribution company, and it has everything that should be on the surface. Twenty million is not so easy to get.
James pondered for a moment before saying: "This matter, Hollywood is almost the same rules, it used to be two-tenths, and now, two-tenths or three, this is relatively normal, but when you pay, it is not a one-time payment, this is also to see the progress of publicity, even if it is 20 million is a publicity fee, there is no one-time payment of clear examples." βγ (To be continued.) )
