The summer was on November 15, and I took a plane with Lin Qingxia to the United States. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
In addition to accompanying him on this trip, Lin Qingxia also wanted to go to the United States to meet her sister.
Lin Qingxia's younger sister Lin Lixia is as beautiful as her, and she originally had the intention to develop in the entertainment industry. However, when she came to the United States to study in the 70s, she met her husband here. After graduating from college, the two got married. By now, she is a mother of two.
"My sister lives in San Francisco and is now a full-time housewife. My brother-in-law works as a designer at an architectural firm. Lin Qingxia said with a smile, "They also have two daughters, the eldest is named Sandy, who is seven years old this year. The youngest is called Mandy and is three years old this year. When it comes to her sister's family, her face is filled with happy smiles.
"Ah, what a coincidence, my little sister is also in San Francisco. Xia Yi smiled when he heard this, "If you have the opportunity, ask them to meet together." β
"yes, yes. Lin Qingxia smiled and nodded. She had met Ah Xue before, and she had a good impression of that smart, beautiful and cute little girl.
While talking and chatting, the plane had slowly landed at Los Angeles International Airport.
Out of the passage, I met Michelle who came to pick me up in the summer.
"Boss~" Michelle also found out about Summer, and hurriedly waved her hand and shouted.
Everyone got into the car together and drove to the hotel where they were staying.
"Boss, Mr. Morita Shofu arrived yesterday. Michelle reported.
"He arrived early. When Xia heard this, he nodded, "Make an appointment for me to meet with him." β
"Okay. Michelle immediately responded.
β¦β¦
After arriving at the hotel and checking in, the group entered the room.
Lin Qingxia knew that Summer must have something important to discuss with Michelle, so she didn't pester him, but went back to the room to talk to her little sister on the phone.
"Boss, the signing ceremony is scheduled for tomorrow morning at ten o'clock in the conference room of Columbia Pictures. The signing ceremony was attended by Roberto-Goizueta, chairman of Coca-Cola, Milhouse Mason, chairman of Columbia Pictures, and Shofo Morita, chairman of Sony Group...... Michelle reported to Summer, and every name she pronounced was a person with a great background.
They will also witness this historical moment, and from that moment on, Hollywood, which represents the highest achievement of film in the world, finally has the shadow of a Chinese ruler!
"Well, that's good. Summer nodded, "Have you contacted the media too?"
"We have all been contacted to ensure that the news will be spread all over the world as soon as possible. Michelle hurriedly said, "At the same time, I also try not to let the opposition come out." β
"Good, good job. Summer smiled, "Very thoughtful. β
Although this acquisition is a matter of mutual love between him and Coca-Cola, there are always some people who like to contradict each other. Especially in the summer, I am still a Hong Kong person, and my identity is more discriminated against, so there will be more people who are cynical.
The more this is the case, the more necessary it is to do a good job of media public relations. Otherwise, the three of them will become tigers, and even if they have the ability to turn over the river and the sea in the summer, they will be difficult to be comfortable in the face of strong public opinion pressure from the outside world.
"Thank you to the owner. Michelle laughed, "But boss, I still think the price of $2.1 billion is a bit expensive." If I were given a little more time, I would be confident that I would be able to talk about $1.6 billion. β
"Forget it, you have the confidence to talk, I don't have the patience to wait. $1.6 billion, $2.1 billion, but $500 million. You can make two blockbuster movies and you can earn it back, so why waste time. Summer waved his hand.
"......" When Michelle heard it, she couldn't help but be stunned, and felt that the boss's tone was really big.
But after thinking about it again, the two movies in the summer, "Chainsaw" and "Ghost Love", did achieve very good box office results in the United States, and I was immediately relieved. "That's right, with the boss's ability, he is indeed qualified to say this. β
"Then boss, you can rest first, and I'll help you make an appointment with Morita Schofu first. Michelle added.
"Wait, you can help me find someone. Summer said suddenly.
"Boss, please speak. Michelle said hurriedly.
His name is Ron Meyer, and he is now supposed to be one of the owners of CAA. Summer said.
CAA's full name is Creative -Artists -Agency, which translates to Creative Elite Cultural Agency. Don't look at it as just a brokerage company, but it's a well-deserved power monster in Hollywood.
Because in its heyday, it owned nearly two-thirds of Hollywood's stars, and even Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, George Clooney, Will Smith, etc. were signed under its banner and managed their own businesses.
In addition, there are well-known directors such as Steven Spielberg and James Cameron, and producers and writers have also signed agency contracts with it.
In addition to its dominance in the film and television industry, CAA has also conquered the city in the music industry and laid a solid foundation. Well-known singers such as Madonna, BeyoncΓ©, Justin Bieber, etc., are also its artists.
In addition, CAA has also entered the sports circle in an innovative way, signing many sports stars, such as David Beckham, LeBron James, Chris Bosh and so on.
It is precisely because CAA has so many stars, directors, and producers under its umbrella that it enjoys supreme power in Hollywood.
If a film company wants to make a movie and find a star, it must cooperate with it and let it suck blood on itself. The salaries of many celebrities, under the operation of CAA, have soared from the previous million dollars to five million dollars, ten million dollars, or even more, which was absolutely unimaginable in the past.
CAA's approach has also skyrocketed the production costs of Hollywood films, causing headaches for Hollywood studios. But in order to be able to invite celebrities to film, I had to endure the exploitation of CAA.
Ron Meyer was one of the founders of CAA, and his ability to turn a small company with a start-up capital of $200 into a Hollywood monster is evident.
In his previous life, he also served as the president of Universal Pictures, and during his administration, Universal Pictures successively produced the "Jurassic Park" series, the "Mummy" series, the "American Pie" series, the "Spy" series, the "Fast and Furious" series and other hit movies.
In addition, he also pushed Universal Pictures to buy DreamWorks, which will only lay golden eggs. It can be said that Ron Meyer's talent is truly outstanding.
"Boss, are you looking for him to invite actors to film?" Michelle was stunned for a moment and asked curiously.
Ron Meyer is the manager of the CAA agency, and if he is looking for an actor to film in the summer, he is the right person.
"No, I wanted him to be the general manager of Columbia Pictures. Summer smiled slightly.
"......" Michelle was stunned for a moment.
