Chapter 113: A series of films, with immeasurable merits
The creation of the fantasy universe allowed Lin Yi to regain the happiness of his early years. But the unexpected arrival of a friend interrupted his enjoyment.
"Hi, George, how was your trip to Italy?
The DreamWorks CEO didn't speak, and directly threw out two documents.
Lin Yi took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but tease the other party: "Two big men, your taste is so heavy, do you want me to choose one for you?"
George sipped coffee and raised his middle finger at the boss: "Aren't you going to make a zombie movie?
"Oh!" Lin Yi picked up the document and began to review it carefully.
The other party introduced: "The first candidate is the American director Romero. In 1968, he filmed "Night of the Living Dead", the originator of modern zombie films. ”
Lin Yi nodded: "I checked the information, low-cost black and white films, but the income is not bad." Slow movement, love to eat human flesh, and death by headshot, the basic characteristics are all present. It's just that the makeup and props are too simple, and the sense of horror is really not enough. ”
George complimented: "That's because you appreciate the high level." The second director candidate is the Italian Lucio. When I was chatting with him, I heard that the legend of the living dead in Africa is very popular in Sicily. ”
Lin Yi patted his head: "When I was traveling in Egypt, I also heard about voodoo in West Africa. and China's Maoshan corpse, which can be regarded as the source of zombies in the East and the West. ”
"Two directors, which one do you choose?"
"I'm going to do both! Didn't I tell you, I'm going to make a series. When I was running a publishing house, I had already discovered that a genre novel or a classic movie could not satisfy the market at all. ”
"I know, let's make a small budget first, and release it before the end of the year. Another mid-cost, next year to a relay race. Let's cut at least half of this market cake. ”
Seeing off the CEO of DreamWorks, Lin Yi began to wonder if the zombie series of movies would come to Hong Kong? But after thinking about it, he finally forgot it. Compared to the English-speaking market, the purchasing power is only 1 percent. Compared with the fantasy universe, it is not a key project.
At this moment, Sunflower pushed the door in, hugged her husband and kissed and gnawed.
Although Lin Yi enjoyed it, he also felt inexplicable: "What's wrong?"
The girl was very excited: "Deng Gong has finally come out of the mountain! After the Cultural Revolution ended for so long, I thought there were twists and turns!"
"Don't worry, reform and opening up is the trend of the times. China's take-off is a historical necessity and will never be affected by accidents!"
When the two quieted down, the female bodyguard Huo Junyue entered the house and made an unexpected request: "My brother and Sister Yue'e are planning to get married recently." The boss is a benefactor of both of them, and wants to invite you to the ceremony, but he is afraid to disturb him. ”
Without waiting for her husband to answer, Sunflower had already snatched the conversation: "This is a good thing, we must participate! The two of them are not young, and they should indeed find a companion." I'll just say, when I begged us to save people last year, Sister Yue'e's face was not quite right. ”
The venue of the wedding was in the original snack street. Uncle Guan, Zheng Yue'e, and Huo Zhenyue all lived here, and there were many villagers on the street. It was also here that Lin Yi met them.
The two relatives have no elders, so they asked Uncle Guan to preside over the marriage. Although law and order have not yet been restored, all the staff of the umbrella company have been dispatched, and no one has not been short-sighted.
At the wedding banquet, Xiang Yanghua said to her husband: "When you go to the United States, the bodyguards will definitely take you away." It's not easy for them to separate people as newlyweds!"
Lin Yi agreed: "Then let's go together, just be a cook for us." I've had enough of Western food, a salad on the left, a salad on the right, and I don't even have a serious dish! ”
The girl nodded her head and stretched out her chopsticks, bringing back a full plate. On the second day of the wedding banquet, Xiang Yanghua mentioned the matter, and of course Zheng Yue'e agreed.
Facing Huo Zhenyue, Lin Yi stretched out his thumb: "First the hero saves the beauty, and then pays off the debts for others, that woman's heart was really taken down by you." ”
Touching the back of his head, the bodyguard smirked: "Thanks to the boss, the salary is so high." Otherwise, I will also have a famine, how can I have the money to pay off my wife's debts?"
Lin Yi laughed: "Don't compare it with Hong Kong, it hasn't developed yet." Since I went to the United States, of course, I have to take a salary from a developed country. ”
Although it was decided here, there was a complaint from my brother-in-law: "Zheng Yue'e is doing a good job, and she is already the manager of the restaurant department." Isn't it a waste of talent for you to make her a cook?"
However, his words were blocked back by the eldest sister: "This woman, having a support is the most important." Besides, isn't the health of my sister and brother-in-law as important as the restaurant?"
Taking advantage of being in the city, Lin Yi ran to two companies.
Asia-Pacific Trust Investment, the boss finally showed up, Senior Brother Jin was not in a hurry to report, but first came to compliment: "Senior brother is becoming more and more magical, fortunately I believe in your evil, resigned from the high-paid position of Dahua Securities, and came here to be the CEO." ”
Lin Yi said in a smug tone: "How about it, my recommendation is right, right?"
The other party danced excitedly: "It can't be right! The stock prices of technology companies in the United States and state-owned companies in Singapore are like rockets, and they are growing much faster than the real economy." I have only been here for half a year, and the profit from stock investment has exceeded 10 million US dollars. ”
Lin Yi looked at the report and couldn't help nodding his head: "The development dividends of these four little dragons are even faster than those of American technology stocks." It seems that on the Asian side, the weight of investment will increase. On the side of the Asia-Pacific Trust, I will allocate another $30 million. ”
Senior Brother Jin looked excited: "Don't worry, I will definitely use it well." It's a pity that there is no way to get close to the water here in Hong Kong. Last year's GDP surge of 16% failed to reverse the decline of the bear market. Except for real estate concept stocks, other companies are weak chickens!"
Lin Yi's next trip was Moyang Comic Studio. The three pillars of the cultural industry, animation talents, are being cultivated by Hasbro, Gao Fei Novel Studio, which has opened the fantasy universe, and comic flagship products, of course, must also be personally guided.
The big boss appeared in person, and Cheng Moyang cried excitedly: "Lin Sheng, you can be regarded as coming." Looking forward to the stars and the moon, I finally hope for you!"
"As for exaggeration?"
According to the will of the boss, our comic studio has built a big shelf. "Rogue Goofy" and "City Hunter" could have been painted in seven or eight years, but they were completed in two years. Now I'm about to vomit in this biography!"
"Here's the new outline. Pure comics, no adaptation of novels. ”
"Gather seven dragon balls, you can summon a divine dragon and realize any dream! Sun Wukong?Turtle Immortal?The name is interesting!What, Sun Wukong has become an alien? The boss's brain hole is really powerful!"
It took two days to guide them to complete the original painting, and Lin Yi left with peace of mind. Sitting in the car, he muttered to himself: "Master Akira Toriyama, I will never close my pen after drawing "Dragon Ball" because of fatigue. For comic fans, I'm really meritorious!"
