Chapter Twenty-Three: Wrong is Wrong
It is a luxury penthouse in New York, with three floors, or two and a half floors, with a total of seven luxurious guest rooms, the top floor, a large open-air swimming pool, and a helipad where ordinary helicopters can be parked.
It can be said that although it is not comparable to those villas with huge land areas in the city, in New York, this is basically a top-level luxury housing configuration.
After Li Qian became rich, Qi Jie was responsible for him in the early days, from investing in various stocks and other financial products to buying real estate, she was doing it, and then Wang Jinglu took over and was responsible for taking care of Li Qian's personal property.
The property that Li Qian is currently living in was purchased by Qi Jie for Li Qian in New York as early as 1999.
At that time, this house cost a lot of money, and now it is even more expensive!
After chartering a plane and leading a team to New York, a large number of staff were of course arranged to live in the hotel, the Cao family is a wealthy family in China for many years, and there is also real estate in New York, Cao Zhan, the eldest young master, came over, of course, there is no shortage of houses to live in, but he seems to be unwilling to live in the family industry, and would rather live in a hotel.
And Wang Huaiyu and Millie Feier also prefer to live in hotels, so in the end, Li Qian only invited Cheng Suhua to live with him and Zhou Yan.
The house is huge.
It's just that, although it is the second time to stay in this house, the result of being woken up by the phone in the middle of the night is that he has a headache, although after the call, the other person has completely awakened, but there are still some unbearable headaches.
At this time, after dealing with things, he dropped his mobile phone and turned back, with his little memory, he found the door of the bedroom where he was staying, unscrewed the doorknob and walked in.
The light at the door was on, and Li Qian felt in a trance that it was slightly different from the layout of the room just now, but he was really in a hurry to lie down and fall asleep quickly, so as to end this difficult headache, so he didn't think deeply, walked to the bed, and through the dim light at the door, he saw that the person on the bed was turning sideways to sleep soundly, and the quilt had been crumpled into a big ball and was held in her arms and pressed under him, so he couldn't help but sigh.
He walked over, gently pulled the corners of the quilt, and pulled out a large piece of the big quilt covered by the two of them, and without looking closely, the person lay down and plunged into the quilt.
He was so sleepy that he had no time to think about it, and he almost fell asleep the moment he lay down.
But a faint fragrance from the tip of his nose made him open his eyes suddenly.
This smell, no!
Turning his head, he saw a pair of sparkling eyes.
In the darkness of the night, only the faint light on the porch illuminates each other.
In fact, he couldn't see his face clearly, and he couldn't see anything else, but Li Qian knew at the first time that this was not Zhou Yan's eyes.
For a full three or five seconds, both of them subconsciously held their breath.
His gaze seemed to have begun to adapt to the current environment, and even a faint light from the porch was enough for Li Qian to see who the person opposite wasβin fact, he guessed it!
At this time, there seemed to be a smile in her eyes and a little embarrassment on her face.
Li Qian was also embarrassed.
If he turned on the light at this time, he believed that his face must be red.
At this time, he felt that his throat was a little itchy, and he subconsciously coughed lightly.
A chuckle suddenly came from the other side.
Li Qian felt even more embarrassed, and almost couldn't help but quickly lift the quilt and leave.
At this time, she suddenly spoke, with a little drunk, slightly hoarse after not opening her voice for a long time, but it sounded exceptionally good, "Did you do it on purpose, or did you find the wrong door?"
Li Qian was so embarrassed.
Saying that it is deliberate, it is definitely not, saying that it is the wrong door, and it seems that it is making up nonsense.
At this time, he simply didn't answer, but said, "Why haven't you fallen asleep yet!"
After a pause, he said, "Why didn't you remind me when I came in." β
But she actually said, "I thought you did it on purpose!"
Li Qian choked.
Then she said: "I'm asleep, maybe this bed is too unfamiliar, I slept a little shallow, I heard the door knocking, scared me, and I didn't feel at ease until I felt that it was you." β
Li Qian grinned, and for a while he didn't know what he should do.
At this time, she suddenly said, "Are you going to make a mistake, or do you want to leave quickly?"
Li Qian smiled awkwardly, "Sister, I'm really ......"
The other side didn't speak, the person shrunk up on the other side of the quilt, and a pair of bright eyes looked at him, as if with some kind of indescribable magic.
Li Qian's heart is at war with heaven and man.
Subconsciously turned her head away, but it landed on her upturned leg pressed against the quilt.
So white.
It's so long.
It's beautiful.
Li Qian swallowed, suddenly lifted the quilt, and threw himself on the other side of the bed.
Cheng Suhua chuckled lightly at first, and then disappeared.
All movement was pressed under the quilt.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
When Zhou Yan woke up the next morning, Li Qian had already gone out for a run and came back, she came out sleepily, rubbed her eyes, and asked, "Whose phone was last night?"
Li Qian was eating breakfast and said casually: "Old Zhao of the Film Bureau, Brother Zhao, said that he had to wake me up." After answering the phone, I felt that although I was very upset when I was woken up by him, this call was worth it!"
Zhou Yan sat down, looking lazy and woke up, and saw that the maid was going to bring him breakfast, so she quickly waved her hand, "I haven't brushed my teeth yet, I'll eat later!" and then asked Li Qian, "What?
Li Qian said with a smile: "Just now, I came back from running and happened to see that I was on "News Network". β
Zhou Yan nodded, although she has never understood these business things very well, and she doesn't pay much attention to them, but for Chinese people, what is the concept of "on the "News Network", but she doesn't need anyone to teach her.
So she asked: "So, so many of us have tossed such a big trip, and tens of millions of dollars have been thrown into it, and it will still have an effect in China? By the way, what about the United States?"
Li Qian said with a smile: "Here in North America, including Europe, the number of online searches for "Hulu Baby" and the number of online viewers of the trailer are growing explosively, and on the way to run just now, John called me and said that a vice president in charge of the distribution of this film in Colombia called him very excitedly early this morning, saying that it is very likely to help "Hulu Baby" win another 300 to 500 more opening scales. β
Zhou Yan nodded blankly, and subconsciously responded, "It's effective!" But she didn't have the slightest intention of inquiring into the depths - she was not interested in these commercial things.
But at this time, Li Qian suddenly smiled and said, "By the way, congratulations to your baby, you seem to be going to be popular!"
Zhou Yan looked at her in surprise.
Li Qian got up with a smile, went to take his notebook, opened it, found the corresponding network data, showed it to her, and saw that she was at a loss, so he found the relevant report for her to see.
But she was still at a loss, yawned, actually stood up, and said, "English is not good, it looks hard! If it is red, it will be red!" As she spoke, she got up and walked away, saying, "I'm going to brush my teeth!"
Li Qian reluctantly put away his notebook and sat back to continue eating breakfast, but soon, Zhou Yan came out of the bedroom again and asked, "Su Bottle hasn't gotten up yet?"
Li Qian was a little weak-hearted, but he quickly raised his head, shook his head, and said, "I didn't see her get up, she should still be asleep, right?"
Zhou Yan nodded and retracted again.
Cheng Subei is Li Qian's senior sister, Li Qian calls her sister, but in fact, Zhou Yan is older than Cheng Subi, and the relationship between the two is not close, it is considered an ordinary friend's level of friendship, plus Zhou Yan has always been willful, so not only did she not follow Li Qian to call her sister, but called her Suhua, in fact, she only subconsciously asked her, and did not pay attention to a certain level.
So, she didn't seem to notice anything.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The 15-minute Oriental Show in Times Square in New York quickly aroused heated discussions in the Western world with an unexpected and amazing heat, and it quickly and concisely conveyed the beauty of Oriental culture to the eyes of Westerners like a virus.
So, although the show did not mention "Hulu Baby" from beginning to end, the promotion of "Hulu Baby" and the upcoming global simultaneous release have been greatly affected and promoted.
As of the afternoon of the 21st US time, Columbia Pictures, which is responsible for hosting the distribution, has informed Li Qian, John Days and Minghu Culture that after two rounds of emergency consultations, they have worked hard to expand the scale of the release of "Hulu Baby" in North America to the final 2037 theaters!
This is already a fairly large opening scale, and often only big productions can get more than 2,000 theaters in North America - for an animation work from China, 2,037 openings have almost reached the top.
No matter how high the salary is, there will be more theaters, it must be a highly anticipated blockbuster director, or a blockbuster work vigorously promoted by a large production company!
And you have to catch up with the right schedule!
For example, the Christmas file is recognized by the North American film market as the most suitable movie schedule for family carnivals, and those who come out to watch movies at this time are often family-oriented, so some warm works that tell about family affection are often more valued, and film companies also like to release this type of work in this schedule.
Of course, in this schedule, animated movies that are suitable for the whole family to watch with the old and the young are easier to get a high theatrical treatment - if it is produced by Disney, there is nothing to say!
As a result, "Wig the Pooh", which is scheduled to be released on December 22, has won the opening scale of 3,922 theaters in one fell swoop - this is a scale that James Cameron can't get!
Because James Cameron may miss out, but at this time of Christmas, Disney, family-friendly animated movies, there is almost no reason why it is not good to sell!
And if you add the animation work "Hulu Baby" from China, in this year's Christmas schedule, just two large-scale animated works have won nearly half of the screening resources in the entire North American region!
At present, there is no scheduling rate out, I believe that when the scheduling rate comes out, as long as the scheduling rate of "Hulu Baby" is not too miserable, these two animated films together are definitely more than half of the scheduling rate!
In fact, to a certain extent, this is also one of the important reasons why Li Qian would rather go to North America in person to be coldly received and run for release, rather knowing that there is a "Wigg the Pope" waiting in front of him, and he has to catch up with the global release of the Christmas schedule in North America.
For an animated movie, this schedule couldn't be better!
Of course, looking back afterwards, it is a trivial matter that the opening treatment and public screening scale of "Hulu Baby" in the North American film market have been improved.
At the beginning, he had an idea and decided to engage in a wave of soft publicity at the cultural and artistic level before the release of "Hulu Baby" and the official acquisition of Colombia by Minghu Culture, of course, hoping to maximize the influence of "Hulu Baby", improve the film schedule and box office, increase the attention of the North American market to this animated film, and by the way, strive for the recognition of some Americans with oriental culture, and resolve some opposition and doubts from the American people in advance for his acquisition of Colombia.
In fact, these effects should all come out. Because in the United States in this era, although the business is very developed and the Internet is already very developed, there is not the slightest precaution against "viral marketing", a wonderful street performance, a few words of Christmas wishes, plus spending money to pull a few TV stations to publicize, things are quickly started, although the investment is not small, but the effect is also considerable.
But the benefits of all this are not so important anymore.
Because this incident was transmitted back to China, it unexpectedly brought another huge benefit to himself and Minghu culture that he almost dared to imagine before!
Won a medium-sized and large-scale cinema chain with nearly 300 theaters and more than 600 screens!
Up to now, although the value of this cinema chain has been greatly reduced due to aging equipment and poor management, it is still a large piece of fat that will be remembered by several large domestic cinemas and companies that are trying to enter the cinema industry as long as they hear the movement.
And now, Minghu Culture took over at its lowest level, and with the relevant support from above, it is very likely to win a very low price!
This is definitely a solid bottom-up!
As for being on the "News Network" because of this show, as for Zhou Yan and Cheng Suping unexpectedly becoming popular quickly in North America, this is naturally a trivial matter!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
On this day, it was not until noon that Cheng Suhua did not get up, claiming that he was troubled by jet lag and did not sleep in the middle of the night last night.
But in the afternoon of the same day, she insisted on moving out and staying in a luxury hotel in New York City -- Li Qian quietly asked her why, and told her that she and Zhou Yan were going back to China on the plane at night, and it was worth running to the hotel to stay at this time? She replied: "I am so in pain that I dare not walk, and if I don't pay attention to it, I will be seen! Not to mention that my sister-in-law has such sharp eyes and such a smart heart!"
So, she moved out, saying that she planned to spend two days in New York and experience Christmas in the United States β and no one would question anything.
She is a comfortable person, with an atmospheric personality, and has a good relationship with almost everyone she knows.
And almost everyone who knows her will believe her words at the first time.
It's just that in this way, she can't take a chartered flight back to China with a large group of people like Li Qian, Zhou Yan and Cao Zhan - she even sent away the personal assistant she brought with her, and let her return to China with the charter flight, leaving her alone in New York.
