Chapter 45: Notes
45
Oh, and a brief introduction to the international events that took place during this period:
First, the Soviet Union's large-scale invasion of Afghanistan during last Christmas, which triggered a strong reaction from the West, in addition to overwhelming criticism, US President Jimmy Carter took the lead in saying that if the Soviet Union does not withdraw its troops from Afghanistan by February 20 this year, the United States will boycott the Olympic Games to be held in Moscow this year. Many countries have responded positively, and dozens of countries have joined the boycott so far.
The second is the Iranian hostage crisis. Last year's revolution in Iran turned Iran from a friend to an enemy overnight, and on November 4 last year, the Iranian masses stormed the U.S. Embassy in Iran and took more than 50 American hostages. After the hostage incident, the US government and the opposition were in an uproar, the government adopted a series of sanctions against Iraq, and various media have been tracking and reporting the latest developments of the hostage crisis.
"The next thing should be the Iran-Iraq war. Fang Jianhui thought. He has always been concerned about these international events, in order to compare them with the memories of his past lives in order to determine whether history has changed significantly.

Twentieth Century Fox, as one of the eight major Hollywood companies, has many films to be approved, started, produced, and distributed every year.
As soon as Fang Jianhui became the owner of Fox, he read the script, cut down those with low box office value and obvious loss of money; The company's existing film projects were cleaned up in a unified manner.
After combing, his daily routine is to read and comment on the scripts sent by filmmakers from all over the world. You must know that Hollywood, the land of money and the city of dreams, has attracted filmmakers from all over the world. These people have all kinds of dreams, and they are here to fight and pursue their dreams, and Fox receives many scripts every day, either seeking investment or looking forward to release.
Every day, the secretary's office sent the script to him, and after he read it, he marked the ratings A, B, C, and D on it, A grade is a box office hit, B grade has a certain impact, C grade can protect the capital, and D grade is not optimistic and may lose money. When the box office is not high, but the artistic value is very high, he will also make special notes. After the evaluation, Anne Bai personally sent the evaluation results to Andy Murphy, and he didn't care about the rest of the matter.
Andy Murphy is a management wizard, and with his comments, it is natural to be like a tiger. According to his comments, Andy knows whether to invest in a certain movie, how much, whether it will be released, and how to distribute it, and it is more comfortable to deal with it.
According to this operation, Fox will not lose money at all unless he intends to lose money to make some works of art, and he can not only avoid movies that are big box office pits, but also seize the box office blockbusters and be completely invincible.
Fang Jianhui and Andy both agreed, according to this method, Fox's annual profit will definitely not be more than the original estimate of 50 or 60 million US dollars, more than 100 million US dollars, or even 200 million yuan. In other words, Fang Jianhui's annual debt of hundreds of millions due to the acquisition of Fox is enough to repay with Fox's own profits, and he does not need to fill the hole at all. This is also the confidence that he dared to borrow new debts to buy TV stations with old debts.
And, more importantly, in this way, Fang Jianhui is also very leisurely. With his speed of flipping through the books, he spends no more than two hours a day reading scripts, and the rest of the time, he reads some news briefings prepared for him by the secretary's office, briefings on important matters of the company, or reads books by himself. Unless he needs to be consulted on a particularly important matter, he will not interfere in the daily operation and management of the company at all.

On April 14, the long-awaited 52nd Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards (Academy Awards) were held at the Chandler Theatre in Hollywood.
Fang Jianhui was held by Teresa Teng and walked on the red carpet, the screams of fans on the red carpet were deafening, and the microphone that interviewed him was almost in his mouth. Unlike when he participated in the Golden Globe Awards two months ago, Fang Jianhui at this time is no longer what it used to be:
The second film, "The Sixth Sense", has been a box office hit in North America for three weeks, with a cumulative box office of more than 50 million, and it has also caused a huge sensation after its release in RB France in April, proving that his talent and success are not a flash in the pan.
is not only the director's level, but his acting skills have also been fully displayed, and his vicissitudes and melancholy performances in the film have touched countless people. However, compared with his acting skills, I noticed that he had more anti-natural appearance, which is also a helpless thing, most viewers are so superficial...
The most important one, Fang Jianhui actually became the boss of Twentieth Century Fox in a short period of time, and became a top figure in Hollywood.
It's a pity that these things can't have any impact on the judges of the Oscars, and Fang Jianhui returned empty-handed again. 'Best Score' went to "Love Sunset Bridge ALittleRomance" and 'Best Original Song' went to "ItGoesLikeItGoes" and "Norma Leigh".
The biggest winner of the night was still "Mr. and Mrs. Kramer", which won five major awards from eight nominations: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor (Dustin Hoffman), Best Supporting Actress (Streep), and Best Adapted Screenplay.
Although the two mentions were zero, they did not affect Fang Jianhui's popularity at all, and at the dinner afterwards, Fang Jianhui once again became the focus of the audience. His Fox boss, big director, big handsome, any one of his identities is very attractive, not to mention the combination of these three identities? Filmmakers looking for investment, actors who want to be on camera, and women all take the initiative to come to him.
After being harassed by a woman in a low-cut dress again, Deng Lijun on the side really couldn't see it, secretly tugged at the corner of his clothes, and motioned him to go home with his eyes. Fang Jianhui didn't like this kind of occasion very much, seeing her like this, he naturally went back halfway.
After returning home, Teresa Teng was angry and told the women at home about the scene at that time: "Those women are so hateful, one by one they put their chests on Jianhui's arm. ”
"The clothes they were wearing were also very revealing, and most of the meat balls were exposed. ”
As she spoke, Teresa Teng suddenly remembered, "Oh, by the way, I also saw a woman put something in Brother Hui's pocket?"
So, she immediately got up, retrieved the clothes Fang Jianhui had just taken off, and rummaged through her pockets with Hei Mutong.
"It's a note!Oh, this pocket is too!" Teresa Teng dug through the pockets of her suit. "There are two notes. It's really hard to prevent, I don't even remember when the other note was put in my pocket. ”
Lin Qingxia took it, looked at them one by one, and read them out of her mouth: "Alice, 213-XXXXXXX, oh, it's a phone number." ”
"I'll take a look at the other one, ah! This one called Madonna is even more excessive! I left the hotel room number directly!" Lin Qingxia was furious.
Fang Jianhui saw that the situation was not good, pulled Lin Qingxia over, and let her face him and sit on his lap: "These women are really, how can they engage in these crooked ways!"
"Your ability to attract bees and butterflies is really not small!" Lin Qingxia glanced at him.
"What's more, there are more people who come to the company to find Brother Hui, all dressed like goblins, and they are clearly here to tempt Brother Hui. Bai Annie interjected, and then began to praise again: "However, I gave an order to the people who received it, and those who did not have an appointment in the future will not be allowed to enter, so it will be much better." ”
"Qingxia rest assured, I will never be tempted by these vulgar fans. Fang Jianhui said, arching his head on Lin Qingxia's chest, and said, "Because I already have Qingxia, I have the best of you." ”
Lin Qingxia was sweet in her heart and said, "I don't eat these people's vinegar either. It's just that their purpose is not pure, I'm afraid that you will fall for them. ”
Fang Jianhui interrupted: "Qingxia, the poet Saint Du Fu has a poem called "Beauty Walking", and there are two sentences in it that I think are particularly suitable for you: the state is thick and true, and the texture is delicate and even. After reading it, he reached into Lin Qingxia's clothes with both hands, touched his skin carefully, and said with a fascinated face: "No one knows better than me how delicate my Qingxia's skin is and how even the flesh and bones are." What a beautiful woman!"
Lin Qingxia was beautiful, but her body swayed and twisted her hands to stop him, but unfortunately she couldn't succeed, Fang Jianhui's hands became more and more fatal, and she had no choice but to lie on him with a red face in the end.
"Stop, what are you doing?" Sensing that Fang Jianhui was untying his belt, Lin Qingxia exclaimed.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Deng Lijun wittily began to drive people away: "Annie, it's inconvenient for you to watch the next thing, please go out for a while." ”
Bai Annie pouted, slowly moved out, and muttered, "Why don't you tell Kuroki to go out." ”
"Kuroki is different. Teresa Teng said.
