Chapter 64: Attitude
Minghu Mansion has long been a property privately held by Li Qian, and is currently leased to Minghu Culture Company in the form of a long-term lease. The half of the open-air balcony on the top floor, covering an area of two or three hundred square meters, is quite open, at first it was a place where many people from the music department and the film and television department hid out to smoke.
People from various departments want to drink a cup of tea and a cup of coffee to refresh themselves, or make an appointment with someone to have a long conversation, they often choose here - here has an excellent view, environment, considering that the company's bigwigs are old smoking guns, and particularly high-end ventilation equipment is installed, so smoking is not restricted.
When Zhou Baoshan and He Yingyu took the elevator alone, they just walked out of the elevator room and walked into this high-end tea house.
Then, the waiter led the way and saw Li Qian and Zou Wenhuai sitting in the booth with the widest vision.
The two seemed to be discussing something, Zou Wenhuai was talking, and Li Qian was listening.
Zou Wenhuai is still so fat, or he is getting fatter and fatter, although Li Qian has been fat and thin over the years, but even when he is the fattest, his body shape is definitely quite standard.
At this time, he had a pipe in his mouth, and he was smoking one after another.
Zhou Baoshan walked over quickly, and He Yingyu followed.
"Brother Qian, Mr. Zou!"
The two turned their heads at the same time, Li Qian smiled and said, "Come back!
Zou Wenhuai also deliberately stood up, patted Zhou Baoshan's shoulder, and pulled him, "Sit!
Zhou Baoshan sat down next to him.
I didn't dare to sit comfortably, and my waist was straight.
Li Qian looked at him with a relieved smile on his face, and praised him, "The spirit is good!" turned his head to look at He Yingyu again, and before he could speak, He Yingyu yawned first, sat down on a separate sofa next to Li Qian, quickly curled up, and waved his hand, "You guys talk first, I didn't sleep well on the plane, make up for it for a while, I can't stand it!" and then he hugged the small pillow and curled up his legs and closed his eyes.
Li Qian took a puff of his pipe, slowly exhaled the cigarette, and shook his head with a smile.
Everyone knew each other very well, but he didn't think it was wrong, he still turned his head to look at Zhou Baoshan, and said with a smile: "Look at your good state and full of energy." ”
Over there, He Yingyu raised her arm with her eyes closed, "Don't say bad things about me while I'm asleep, I'll hear it!"
Everyone ignored her.
Compared with the tiredness and haggard that could be seen on He Yingyu's face, Zhou Baoshan was indeed in an abnormal spirit - his eyes were bright and red, and he looked like a smug and high-spirited attitude.
Li Qian knew that he had been very proud recently.
Chinese, Oriental faces in Europe and the United States is difficult to become popular, face blindness or anything aside, in fact, European and American culture is really xenophobic, even if it is Liao Liao, it is also the song first red, and then the talent followed the red, just like that, she has made excellent works in recent years, and she is also one of the top divas in Europe and the United States, but in the divas, the ranking is also the kind that is behind, and the local singers in the United States, naturally the gap is opened, no matter how good the work is, it is difficult to catch up for a while - it is even more difficult for movie actors to be popular.
However, with the help of "The Matrix" and Chinese kung fu, Zhou Baoshan is indeed popular in the United States and in the entire Western world, far more popular than himself, Liao Liao's boyfriend and the lead singer of the four major beauty bands!
To put it mildly, maybe he is still a certain gap compared to Bruce Lee in the peak year of time and space, but this gap is not irreparable, and compared with Jett Lee and a certain big guy Long during the most popular time, he even has a considerable degree of victory.
The popularity of a "Matrix" is as good as I don't know how many "Rush Hour"!
This made Li Qian very pleased.
Of course, being a star also has the benefits of being a star, but in fact, over the years, Li Qian's willingness has always been to hide behind the scenes and do some behind-the-scenes work.
He didn't need it, and he doesn't need the fame and fortune that being a star can bring.
Therefore, he will be especially happy to watch the singers or actors under his banner and with his own hands become more and more popular, and surpass himself one after another.
In the past, he himself was too popular, and the topic was too sufficient, Minghu cultural film and television songs made many efforts, and he became popular with so many singers and actors every year, but no one dared to say that he was more popular than Li Qian.
But now, he thought it was almost a little bit interesting.
Zhou Baoshan is definitely an international kung fu superstar.
He Yingyu is already the most popular actress in China, and she is also the first Chinese actress who is quite popular and popular in Europe and the United States - Qin Jingjing is useless to win the Berlin film, and the number of viewers of "Red Sorghum" in Europe and the United States is not at the same level as "The Matrix" at all.
That's it.
They are popular, and they are responsible for standing at the front desk for the company, so they have to rely on themselves for everything more than before, and they always feel that a movie is going to be made, you actually don't play the leading role, a movie is about to be released, and you don't go to publicity, which is the same as something particularly guilty.
Now, do you want to publicize it?
Let Zhou Baoshan go! Let He Yingyu go!
Whether He Yingyu can start to support the box office alone now remains to be verified, but Zhou Baoshan can already be sure that there is no problem - two "Once Upon a Time" are the foundation, one "The Matrix" is popular in Europe and the United States, and it will be more stable when there are two more "The Matrix" in the future.
He can be regarded as the first international film superstar of Minghu Culture and Li Qian.
Sit down, have tea, chat, and talk about his trip to the United States.
But in the middle of the words, Zou Wenhuai couldn't help but complain, and said: "A few days ago, your senior brother went to my office to drink tea, and even drank and took it, let me tell you, you two are not short of money now, don't keep robbing me, can you?
Zhou Baoshan smiled, "Go back, go back!"
Minghu culture has become a trend of drinking tea.
Because starting from Li Qian, the big bosses like to drink tea, and the two aunts, He Runqing and Xie Bing, both run tea gardens at home, and then I don't know from which year they started, some people are lively, and they want to subscribe for a few tea plots in the tea garden of their aunt's house, saying that the tea sold outside is not delicious, and the tea in Mr. Li's office is delicious.
As a result, He Runqing's younger brother and Xie Bing's tea garden run by her parents actually let a group of high-level executives and performing arts stars of Minghu Culture subscribe for hundreds of acres - I don't know if they really love to drink the tea of these two families, anyway, it is rumored that the tea of the Xie family and the He family is hard to find, and later on, the tea from their two tea houses has actually become a high-end product on the market.
Now, even if it's not a famous tea, it's a famous tea.
Don't say it, this is Zhou Baoshan, now that the level has arrived, it is impossible for ordinary people to spend money to subscribe for two acres of tea land!
However, now that Zou Wenhuai said this, in front of Li Qian, Li Qian didn't say no, Zhou Baoshan is even if he is carrying the banner, presumably his aunt's wife will definitely not refute face.
Oh, by the way, this spring He Runqing deliberately went to Wuyi Mountain to inspect the tea plantation, saying that she wanted to make black tea and rock tea in Wuyi Mountain, and even she considered going to Yunnan to collect a Pu'er tea mountain. Looking at what she meant, she really wanted to take the opportunity to make this a cultural brand.
Since last year, because Zhou Yan and Xie Bing have been to the vineyard that Qi Jie bought for Li Qian in France, they both liked it at once, and asked related companies to inquire about it, and now they are talking about the acquisition with the two wineries over there.
Both of them want to take over a similar winery by themselves, make their own red wine, and make a brand.
Hearing the news of the two of them, Bai Yujing recently said that he also flew to France with nothing to do - anyway, there is no shortage of money, and he doesn't know what to do with the money in his hand, and Minghu Culture has no need to expand shares and raise funds in the short term, so the money in their hands, in addition to buying a house and hoarding a house, tinkering with tea and wine, Li Qian is too lazy to take care of his personal money.
The three of them sat down and chatted for more than ten minutes, and they heard He Yingyu, who was sitting on the sofa next to her, even snoring - purring, sounding weird and cute.
Li Qian put down his pipe, leaned over to take a look, and was really asleep.
Sleepy and sound.
But He Yingyu will not be more tired than Zhou Baoshan.
In the propaganda of North America, they have cooperation and division of labor, but it must be based on Zhou Baoshan.
It's just that Zhou Baoshan people are in good spirits at happy events, and they don't feel tired no matter how tired they are, anyway, they are full of energy.
After chatting for a while, Li Qian thought for a while and said: "Next, in China and Southeast Asia, you run more and leave some time for Xiaoyu, "Dragon Gate Inn" is about to be released, and she has to be responsible for the promotion of that play." ”
"No problem!" Zhou Baoshan responded with a refreshing sip.
He's really unusually excited right now.
Zou Wenhuai asked: "The brokerage department has received more than a dozen invitations to film contracts transferred from the United States, and your brokerage affairs in Europe and the United States will be handed over to the side to take care of for the time being, but if you have an idea, it must be our side that has an idea." What do you think of these European and American film contracts?"
Zhou Baoshan hesitated for a moment, and the heart on his face flashed, but he still said with great certainty: "The company has the final say!" Then he turned his head to look at Li Qian, who was relighting his pipe, and said, "I listen to Brother Qian." ”
"Huh?" Li Qian threw away the match and spit out a puff of cigarette, "Listen to me?" ......he waved his hand, "Next "Shaolin Temple" is going to start filming, you should prepare for the second part of "The Matrix" again, after filming the second part of "The Matrix", "Huang Feihong" is going to shoot the third part, what do you want to hear from me?"
Zhou Baoshan smiled embarrassedly.
"Then it's all pushed, I'll concentrate on filming these three dramas!" he said.
Li Qian nodded noncommittally, and Zou Wenhuai also seemed to be very satisfied with Zhou Baoshan's attitude - that's it, you are popular, you are popular, but you can't feel that Lao Tzu is the first in the world as soon as you are popular!
Everyone chatted for a while, and Zhou Baoshan felt that it would be about half an hour, so he took the initiative to get up and say goodbye - he came back this time, and he could get a short two-day rest, and then he would set off again and continue to run publicity.
The price of being red is not to want to rest.
When he left, Zou Wenhuai put away his smiling face, rubbed his chin, and said, "Does this kid want to float a little?"
Li Qian smiled, "It's hard to say, but it shouldn't be." ”
After thinking about it, Zou Wenhuai couldn't help but puff his teeth and said: "Actually, if you want to say that he is a little unsettled, it is normal, among the dozen or so film contracts, there are many unreliable, but there are also many reliable, and there are two films with a production budget of 70 or 80 million US dollars, and the salary given to him is directly 5 million US dollars, and it is estimated that it is still very promising to talk about it and get 600 to 7 million US dollars! This is even in Hollywood, it is already the top of the second line, and it is about to touch the first line. Not everyone in the first line gets 10 million dollars. Moreover, Hollywood blockbusters, directly getting paid in US dollars, are too tempting for our domestic actors. ”
Li Qian smiled, thought about it, and said: "But when the second part of "The Matrix" is released, his salary may jump directly to 8 million or 10 million." ”
"Tsk!" Zou Wenhuai smacked his lips, "Li'er is such a Li'er......"
Speaking of this, he stopped, with a smile on his face, and said: "Wait and see, the film contract for "Shaolin Temple" has been signed, and I can't count it, and when I see the second part of "The Matrix", see what price he will ask his agent to give him, and you will know what this kid is thinking." ”
Li Qian nodded at first when he heard this, but then quickly smiled: "You, don't worry about this, you can't run!"
Zou Wenhuai snorted and shook his head, "It's hard to say!"
After a pause, he said: "You are used to being an uncle, turning the clouds and rain, who is popular, but I deal with them all day long, frankly speaking, this means that your brand is really hard enough, and you can hold it, our Minghu culture has indeed been the top in China in every aspect over the years, so no one wants to change jobs for the time being." If he is not popular, he wants to be popular, he doesn't change jobs, he is already popular, he wants to be more popular, and even wants to be popular abroad, he doesn't change jobs, because in addition to our Minghu culture, except for you Qian'er, no one in China has the ability to say who is popular! So they are honest! But what about him at this point? Europe and the United States are very popular, and being able to directly receive an invitation to a big Hollywood production is equivalent to jumping to a higher platform, and you can climb the high branches at any time! But it's hard to say!
Li Qian smiled, "Seven or eighty million dollars of production, six or seven million salaries, it's a big production of fart!"
"Cut!" Zou Wenhuai glanced at him.
Li Qian knocked on the pipe, pressed the ash down with a pressure stick, took a puff of cigarette, and said: "It's okay, he can't fly yet, and he doesn't have the courage to fly!" Even if he really wants to fly, with a smart person like his senior brother, he can suppress him for a few years, and in a few years, he will find that even if you look at the world, Minghu Culture is the most powerful and best company, and his heart will naturally be down-to-earth again!"
And at that time, after watching and going through more, he will also understand that if you want to become more and more popular internationally, it doesn't mean that you just have to jump to Hollywood. Because when you go to Hollywood, as long as you pounce on a film, you're finished. On the contrary, it is the safest to follow me. ”
Zou Wenhuai thought thoughtfully, and nodded, "Come on! Then I'll watch! Go back and find an opportunity, I'll knock his agent first." ”
Li Qian shook his head with a wry smile when he heard this.
But he knows that Zou Wenhuai is so temperamental, to see who is not pleasing to the eye, and who thinks that he wants to jump, first hit it with a shot, and when you are honest, then reason with you, intercede, dare to be dishonest, and then fight!
Of course, as long as you don't be honest and foolish, that Lao Zou is definitely an amiable cute big fat man who can laugh and scold any artist and gag.
Many singers, actors, etc. in the company, including their agents, actually have a good personal relationship with Lao Zou - uh, Liao Liao and Wang Jingxue and Xie Bing, exceptions, the key is that they are Li Qian's people, don't scare him.
As the top manager of the huge Minghu Culture's internal agents and artists, this is his unique way of management, after so many years, it has been proved that there may be manslaughter, but his set of methods is still very effective. Of course, Li Qian didn't bother to adjust him.
After chatting about Zhou Baoshan, Zou Wenhuai turned his head to glance at He Yingyu, who was snoring constantly, and said, "Tut", and said, "This aunt seems to be really tired!"
As he spoke, he knocked on the table and stood up, pointing to the pot of tea, "I'll put it on your account today!"
Then he turned his head to look at He Yingyu and said, "This aunt and grandmother are also your business, I don't care, let's go!" and then turned around and left.
Li Qian has long been accustomed to being rubbed by him, and a pot of tea of several hundred yuan will also be rubbed, and he has long been numb. When he left, he smoked his pipe quietly, waiting for He Yingyu to wake up.
This recent period can be regarded as a rare leisure time for him in recent years.
I recorded a few songs, but more often than not, I accompanied my wife and children.
The movie still has to be made, and the plans at hand are also very full, but it is no longer him who decides when to make the next movie, but it depends on the progress of the research institute - when their research is determined to be mature, Li Qian is ready for the next movie.
Even if it's a steal of half a day's leisure!
He Yingyu slept quite deeply.
Qi Jie came over in the middle, and when she saw He Yingyu curled up in the sofa, like a kitten, and snoring from sleep, she was a little funny, and couldn't help glaring at Li Qian.
Simply said the thing and walked away.
It wasn't until it was past two o'clock at lunch, and He Yingyu finally snorted, as if she was about to wake up.
