The whole of Hollywood is amazed at the imminent huge success of this Asian American, if "The Grim Reaper" can really get 400 million box office in North America, then there is no doubt that this Chinese director who was originally just a joke will have a place in the whole of Hollywood, no matter how big the company is, it can't ignore the director who has two consecutive movies and a box office of more than 300 million.....

But it's only been more than a week, and it's far from the time when the dust has settled, and no one knows how far the box office of "Death is Coming" can reach, and the words of box office analysts are not necessarily 100% accurate, everyone is looking forward to it, and a director star is rising.

In fact, even Cheng Xiaoyu is not very clear, how much box office "The Grim Reaper is Coming" won in the last time and space, there is no accurate data in his memory, but he can be sure that it does not exceed 100 million.

And if it weren't for the huge controversy caused by the contradiction between himself and Peter Kopera, and the unimaginable popularity of Justin Bieber, who strongly promoted this movie, otherwise "Death is Coming" would definitely not reach the box office of 300 million......

Although he chose to make this movie to coincide with Justin Bieber's debut, Cheng Xiaoyu never thought that Justin Bieber would be able to drive the box office so strongly, and thanks to his experience in Columbia Business School, if it weren't for this incident, he would not have become a household name and become an "American idol".

Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the dazzling eyes outside the car window, and could only sigh that luck was on his side, maybe this was the legendary "pig's foot halo"? Cheng Xiaoyu smiled bitterly and shook his head, it seems that Justin Bieber, who is proud of love and has a soaring career, has more "pig's foot halo" than him, and he is just a "traverser" who is still running wildly on a road with no end in sight......

Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the scenery of Los Angeles with a somewhat gloomy expression, and turned around this jazz bar called "Blue.dream" on the corner of the street, which is the location of "Xichu", and the headquarters of "Sony" Pictures is not very far opposite Xichu, compared to Xichu, which is just a short four-story building, and the shadow of the Sony building can cover the entire "Xichu" at five or six o'clock in the afternoon.

The car drove slowly to the door of "Xichu", the bodyguard Liang Mu pulled over the Mercedes-Benz G65AMG, Meng Guozhen came down from the co-pilot to open the door for Cheng Xiaoyu, this rule was set by his bodyguard, for safety reasons, the bodyguard must come down first, he can come down.

The original president of Maserati gave Duanmu Linsha, and at the suggestion of Meng Guozhen, Cheng Xiaoyu changed to an off-road vehicle with better passability, and now his bodyguard team has expanded to five people, all of whom Meng Guozhen brought from Huaxia.

For such a large team of bodyguards, Cheng Xiaoyu felt that it was a bit of a fuss, but when he thought that Konstantin was in the formation of a convoy as soon as he traveled, he felt that it didn't matter.

When I got off the bus, there were many people waiting at the door of "Xichu" to go in for an interview, and the two companies of "Xichu" and "Voice of Rain" were quite understaffed, and they were recruiting people every day, but although there was a long queue of people at the door of "Xichu", who used to be at the door of Xichu, there was still a long queue of people who came to apply, but the top management talents that Cheng Xiaoyu needed, and the American elites still did not submit resumes, and most of them came to be some rookies who claimed to be talented.

As soon as Cheng Xiaoyu got out of the car, a young Asian man wandering at the door rushed up, Meng Guozhen quickly stopped in front of Cheng Xiaoyu, separated the young man from Cheng Xiaoyu, and stretched out his hand to stop him and asked, "This gentleman, is there something wrong?"

The Chinese young man said with some eagerness: "Can you let me meet Director Cheng?"

At this time, Liang Mu also got out of the car and escorted Cheng Xiaoyu towards the company, Meng Guozhen said to the Asian young man with an expressionless face: "If you need to see Director Cheng, please go to the front desk of the company to apply...... I'll give you a schedule. ”

Seeing that Cheng Xiaoyu was about to walk into the company, the Asian young man immediately shouted at Cheng Xiaoyu's back: "Director Cheng, can you give me some time to read my script and graduation short film, I think you will be interested!"

Cheng Xiaoyu now has a thin reputation in Hollywood, after the box office success of "The Grim Reaper", this situation has occurred a lot, and there are often down-and-out directors and producers who can't get investment to find "Xi Chu", hoping that this extravagant boss can leak a little money from his fingers and give them some investment for these dream chasers, everyone thinks that the money of this always generous Asian director should be easier to cheat.

At the beginning, Cheng Xiaoyu was also very interested in taking over a few scripts, but found that it was purely a waste of time, most of them were scripts that had no value at all, and some were slightly better, but as soon as he asked how much investment was needed, the other party immediately opened his mouth and jumped with tens of millions, Cheng Xiaoyu could only send off the guests with a smile, and then he didn't pay much attention to these down-and-out directors who wielded the script.....

"Xichu"'s own script review and film investment system have not yet been established, and these things need to be decided by Cheng Xiaoyu, after all, the development time of "Xichu" is too short.

Hearing the other party's shout, Cheng Xiaoyu didn't look back, and was still walking towards the company, when the Chinese young man shouted with a somewhat stumbling Chinese: "Director Cheng, I was waiting for you at the door two days ago, and I also saw you and Miss Catherine at the USC Film School, your singing is really good.....

Cheng Xiaoyu stopped and looked back at the Asian director who was stopped by Meng Guozhen and said, "Chinese?

The young man immediately said quickly: "Chinese, but I still speak Chinese at home since I was a child, although the level is not high..... But there is still no problem communicating with Chinese....."

Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the small-eyed young man with a flat head and asked, "Graduated from USC Film School?"

The Chinese young man smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's still Miss Catherine's senior...."His face is already sweaty, as an Asian and engaged in the film industry, the road is always more difficult, whether as an actor or a director, there are much fewer opportunities than Caucasians, he graduated last year and is still working as a drama manager in other crews, and he can't see the opportunity to be in charge of the director's tube at all.

And the compatriot in front of him is younger than himself, he can already be said to be famous, the reason why he came to "Xichu", a film company that is not too big, is also to hope that he is also Chinese, and the other party can give him a little more chance.

He wasn't wrong, Cheng Xiaoyu still looked at the Chinese people differently, he said: "Leave your script, short film and contact information, after I read it, whether it is good or bad, I will give you an answer.....

Seeing that Cheng Xiaoyu's statement was so consistent with the official statements of other large companies, the Chinese young man couldn't help but be a little disappointed, he reluctantly smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, Director Cheng......"

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't care about the other party's disappointment, but said with a smile: "Since you graduated from USC Film School, you can come to us to find a job first, we have been short of people recently...... We have a saying in China that the building near the water gets the first ....."

The young Chinese looked at the huge job posting on the door, and wondered if he should quit his job as a Paramount theater and come to this not-so-big film company. But the huge status gap between the two companies made him a little hesitant, and it took a lot of effort to be able to enter Paramount, although it is only a drama at present, but slowly mixing qualifications, one day he can touch the director's tube.

But resigning to "Xichu" is a great risk, and no one knows what the future of this company will be, and whether it can provide him with the opportunity to be a director......

Cheng Xiaoyu saw that the other party was in a daze, and did not continue to persuade, but said, "Think about it..... Just give something to my bodyguard, I'll take a good look at it...."

The Chinese young man's eyes focused again, and he hurriedly said: "Thank you, Director Cheng, my surname is Huang, and my name is Huang Jingdong....."

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't pay attention to this Chinese-American USC film school graduate, he is willing to provide more opportunities for Chinese Americans in Hollywood, but it can't be for nothing, at least he has to have the courage to take risks.

Walking into the busy scene in "Xi Chu", the popularity of "Death is Coming" has promoted the sales of VCD and DVD of "Horror Movie", and now "Universal" is discussing with "Xi Chu" to shoot sequels for the two movies.

A film company that no one thought would last a few months is now about to earn more than one billion dollars at the global box office in half a year, although the salaries of employees have not increased, but the bonuses are quite expensive, and more importantly, everyone has seen a long-term and stable job, so the enthusiasm for work is very high, which is completely different from the passive work when you first joined the company......

Many Chinese employees who do not want to stay in the United States have returned to the Shanghai head office, and now most of the employees of the "Xichu" American company are Americans, and when they saw Cheng Xiaoyu come in, everyone raised their smiling faces, and there were people in every place along the way who enthusiastically said to Cheng Xiaoyu: "Good.morning, sir...."

Although Cheng Xiaoyu doesn't come to "Xichu" often, everyone knows that this is a company with him as the core, and the film company is worthless without him, Cheng Xiaoyu can't recognize everyone, so he can only keep laughing and replying: "Good.morning....."

Cheng Xiaoyu went directly into the office, Duanmu Linsha and James Walker were waiting for him in the office, Duanmu Linsha went to Wells Fargo Bank in the morning first, and transferred a check issued by "Universal" to "Xichu" in the "Wells Fargo" account.

After receiving a huge deposit certificate from Cheng Xiaoyu, James Walker decided to come to "Xichu" to talk to the young tycoon in person, although his wealth is far from reaching the exaggerated level of just the number bouncing on the bank card, but the speed of its rise is also jaw-dropping, at least James Walker feels that it doesn't matter whether Cheng Xiaoyu is the chairman of "Xiyu" at the moment.......

The money lying on the two accounts of "Xichu" and "Sound of Rain" has reached more than one billion US dollars, and it is still increasing, James Walker thought that "Xichu" was the bulk of Cheng Xiaoyu's money, but he did not expect that Justin Bieber is Cheng Xiaoyu's cash cow, the sales of physical records and digital records of "my.world2.0" have exceeded 15 million worldwide, of which North America contributed more than 9 million copies, and the rest of the world contributed 6 million copies.

After all, the re-emergence of China is only a matter of more than ten years, and the cultural output is far less strong than that of the United States, and the popularity of English is also a favorable condition for the export of American music.

When he arrived at the office, James Walker first congratulated Cheng Xiaoyu on his box office hit, and then told Cheng Xiaoyu that "Xichu" and "Voice of Rain" are now imminent to set up their own financial departments as soon as possible and hire a professional financial planning team to avoid taxes for themselves.

In fact, even Cheng Xiaoyu himself did not expect that Justin Bieber could achieve such great success and bring him such a big profit in a short period of time, not only record sales, but also three advertising endorsement contracts worth 100 million US dollars, for which Cheng Xiaoyu also gave him a 3 million US dollar Lamborghini.....

Cheng Xiaoyu is not sensitive to money, and entrusted the tax avoidance to Duanmu Linsha to deal with, so he hurriedly said goodbye to James Walker, he came to "Xichu" today to arrange a new film shooting plan, a comedy filmed by Ma Shan, used to make money, an A-level film that completes his grand cause, this time he wants to stand on the stage of the Oscars with this A-level movie.

This A-grade film is very important to Cheng Xiaoyu, and he went to great lengths to acquire the "digital realm" for this purpose, and even came to the United States to be able to make the film available to audiences around the world......

The reason why he didn't shoot this movie at the beginning was because of financial problems, secondly, because he felt that he might not be able to control such a special effects production from the beginning, and thirdly, he was shooting such a big production in Hollywood, and he couldn't hire top staff without a network base.

But after these two movies, no one in Hollywood will underestimate him, and his most important shooting plan can also be put on the agenda.

Cheng Xiaoyu asked the secretary to summon the people from the film division and the 'digital field' to the conference room, and went to the conference room, the plan for the meeting was drawn up a long time ago, Cheng Xiaoyu only sat in the conference room for a few minutes, and the people from the film division arrived....

More than 40 people gathered together, including Yi Yunfei, William Jeff, the head of the 'digital field' in Los Angeles, Zhu Wei, the head of the film division, and Luke Tang, the head of the production department.

Xi Chu is still recruiting, everyone knows that this is preparing for a big production this year, after they all sat down, Cheng Xiaoyu stood up directly, and everyone looked at the young director intently, expecting him to tell him his plan.....

Cheng Xiaoyu first said with a smile: "Last summer, many people didn't expect that we could have a third movie to shoot, right?" The boss told jokes, and everyone had to laugh, and it was not okay not to laugh.

Cheng Xiao continued: "It seems that the results of "Death is Coming" will not be very bad, first of all, I have to thank everyone for their hard work, it is rare for everyone to be so together today, I said two days ago, today is to arrange this year's shooting plan, and I spent a lot of money to acquire the 'digital field' to prepare for today......"

Cheng Xiaoyu paused for a moment, then looked around, looked at everyone's expectant eyes and said: "In the first half of this year, there is a small-budget movie shooting with an investment of 100 to 20 million, but this is not the point..... The point is that we, 'Xichu', will launch a large-scale production ...... with an investment of 400 million US dollars."

400 million US dollars was dropped into the conference room like a bombshell, originally everyone thought that it was an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars at most, but they did not expect that it was an astronomical amount of "400 million", and suddenly the entire conference room exploded.......
