Chapter 082 Challenge on
"I think it's good, for me, age is not an issue. And I like you so charming. Since you are my woman now, of course I will never allow you to mess around with other men anymore. In fact, in my plan, I will enter the film industry on a large scale in the future. ”
Gu Weiqi put his head against the woman's forehead, and changed his words: "But I don't have any acquaintances here." If you want, I can invest in a film company, and you will be in charge of it in the future. If you want to make any film, invest in it yourself. It doesn't matter if you make money or lose money, the point is as long as you're happy. What do you think? ”
Keiko Matsuzaka muttered, "It sounds like a good idea, but I'm afraid I won't be able to manage it." ”
Gu Weiqi chuckled and said, "In this world, no one is born with everything, and everything is not learned slowly?" As long as you want, I think with your cleverness, it is not difficult to take care of a film company. ”
"Okay then, I'll try to do it." Keiko Matsuzaka thought about it and finally agreed.
"It's for the best." Gu Weiqi was overjoyed, and now Keiko Matsusaka has promised himself that as long as the company develops smoothly, it will undoubtedly lay a solid foundation for a large-scale entry into the Yuben film market in the future.
Then Gu Weiqi simply freshened up, and after breakfast, he asked Keiko Matsuzaka to invite Teruo Yamada, father and daughter.
As soon as they met, Teruo Yamada said quite politely: "Hello Gu Jun, the contemptible Teruo Yamada, is the father of Miho Yamada and Mihime Yamada, please take care of me!" ”
"Hello Mr. Yamada." Gu Weiqi shook hands with the little old man, and after inviting the other party to sit down, he said straight to the point: "I heard that Mr. Yamada has a comic company under his name, and I want to take a stake in your company, presumably Sister Yamada has already conveyed my meaning to you." I wonder what you think? ”
"I am very happy that Gu Jun can take a stake in my comic company."
Teruo Yamada said with a smile: "I came to visit Gu Jun today, just to discuss the details with you. In addition, I also hope that Gu Jun can hand over the manga adaptation rights of the movie "Guoshu Grandmaster: Starting from Scratch" to "Yamada Manga Co., Ltd." to operate. ”
Gu Weiqi nodded and said, "This is not much of a problem, now I want to know how much equity in the comic company Mr. Yamada can give me?" ”
Teruo Yamada thought about it, and now his manga company almost went bankrupt earlier due to a broken capital chain. If Gu Weiqi hadn't given the 2 million Hong Kong dollars to the Yamada sisters to help him pay off the loan sharks, I'm afraid that even he himself would have been sunk into the sea by the Yamaguchi Group to feed the sharks. It can be said that now he has been able to pay off the loan sharks and get the comic company back in operation, all thanks to Gu Weiqi.
Of course, even so, today's "Yamada Manga Co., Ltd." is still not very competitive in the manga industry due to the lack of good story themes and creativity. However, if we can get the manga adaptation rights of "The Grandmaster of Guoshu from Scratch", with the popularity of this movie in the book, it is conceivable that if it is really adapted into a manga, it will soon be able to reverse the current situation of Yamada Manga.
And if you want to get the comic book adaptation rights of this movie, you must show your sincerity, so the old man opened his mouth and said: "How about eighty percent? ”
"Yes. However, this morning, Kadokawa Pictures arranged a fan meeting for me at the Ginza Grand Theater. It's almost 10 o'clock now, and I'll have to go over right away, and we'll talk about the details in the afternoon. ”
"Okay." The old man got Gu Weiqi's reply, and left happily with his two daughters.
Not long after the three of them left, the light of the mountain came over. However, this time he not only came to pick up Gu Weiqi to the "Ginza Grand Theater" to meet the fans, but also sent a cash check of $30 million from the "Bank of Tokyo". This is naturally the pen "color head" that Iga Nao lost to him.
After Gu Weiqi got the check, he was in a very happy mood. Then he went to the Bank of Tokyo and transferred 20 million to his account. As for the remaining 10 million, it was directly transferred to Keiko Matsusaka's account. After all, if you want to open a film company, you must have a certain amount of funds. 10 million US dollars is equivalent to more than 2 billion yuan, which is not a small amount, and it is definitely possible to open a medium-sized film company in Yueben.
The group then went to the Ginza Grand Theater. At that time, this famous theater was already crowded with people, and when you looked up, it was crowded. As soon as Gu Weiqi got out of the car, he was surrounded by many media reporters, who raised "long guns and short cannons" and asked him all kinds of questions.
"Gu Jun, do you have anything to say about the fact that you defeated the challenger Nao Iga on TV Tokyo's 'Entertainment Focus' program last night and won a huge bet of $30 million?"
"Gu Jun, someone saw Miss Matsuzaka enter your hotel with you last night, are you taking pictures?"
"Gu Jun, I don't know what program you prepared to meet with fans today?"
“……”
Facing these reporters who asked endless questions, Gu Weiqi coughed lightly, pressed down with both hands, and said in a deep voice: "Friends in the media listen to me, because it is about to come to meet with fans and friends, so I don't have so much time to answer all your questions carefully." I'll just give you a few quick answers. ”
"First of all, about the duel with Iga last night, who is who is not, I think anyone who watched the live broadcast should be very clear, so I won't say more. Secondly, I am good friends with Miss Matsuzaka, and it is pure nonsense to say that it is a drag. ”
Gu Weiqi said unhurriedly: "Finally, I hope that everyone will promote the 'National Art Grandmaster's Starting from Scratch', okay, thank you!" With that, he walked into the theater.
Kadokawa Pictures held a fan meeting for Gu Weiqi, which can be said to be very large, and the big theater with more than 3,000 people was full, and it was crowded at a glance. Of course, he himself also attaches more importance to this fan meeting, you must know that his current popularity seems to be not small, but strictly speaking, it is a bit inflated.
After walking into the theater, Gu Weiqi first greeted everyone and said something like "I'm glad to be able to meet you", and then began to sing a "Sunset Song (Chinese Version)" in "The Grandmaster of Guoshu Starting from Scratch" as the opening of today's meeting. As his penetrating and slightly vicissitudes of life sounded, the atmosphere of the scene was instantly detonated.
At the same time, Gu Weiqi's defeat of Nao Iga on the "Entertainment Focus" program on TV Tokyo last night has been quickly reported back to Xiangjiang. When the citizens of Xiangjiang learned the news, they immediately celebrated with their crowns and applauded. And with the reprinting of newspapers and magazines, especially in the case of "pictures and truths", citizens have regarded Gu Weiqi as a big hero of Xiangjiang.
In the case of Aiwu and Wu, everyone is naturally very supportive of Gu Weiqi's company's movie "Mr. Zombie". Originally, this film was very interesting, although it has been released for more than ten days. But at present, the attendance rate is still six or seven percent, and with the special support of the citizens, the attendance rate of this movie immediately showed a blowout trend again.
At that time, Jiahe released the Republic of China film "Life and Death"; Shao's release is the martial arts film "Blue Blood Sword", if these two films were put 10 years ago...... No, five years ago, it was a big difference at the box office. But until now, it is not very competitive at the box office.
However, Jiahe's big boss frowned and didn't care, because this year Jiahe invested in two blockbusters. One of them is "Plan A" written by Gu Weiqi; The second is the "cannonball speed", in order to enter the Hollywood film market in one fell swoop, Jiahe invited Bi Reynolds, and the salary was 5 million US dollars. In fact, this film did not disappoint Jiahe, after Gu Weiqi's "The Grandmaster of Guoshu Starts from Scratch" began to be painted, 20th Century Fox arranged the release of this film.
Because several Hollywood blockbusters this year have been released, such as "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "007 series" and "Superman 2", etc., they have not bumped into any strong opponents so far. Therefore, the film "Cannonball Speed" showed a good box office momentum as soon as it was released, allowing Jiahe to make enough money and open up its popularity in North America.
As for the Shao family in the sunset of the West Mountain, according to the normal trend in history, he will gradually give up the film business, and the Shao tycoon will concentrate on the TV industry. However, with the strong rise of "Phoenix TV" and Qiu Degeng's control of "Asia Television" and the management of TV strongman Mai Baoxiong, the performance of "TVB" is not as good as before.
Fortunately, Shao Tycoon has experienced too many winds and waves, and for now, it is still stable. Originally, he wanted to find Fu Wenhuai to join forces to suppress the "Oriental Hollywood International Film Company", after all, Gu Weiqi got up too fast. In history, because the new art achievements rose too fast, they were blocked by him and Fu Wenhuai.
It's just that now Jiahe is filming with Gu Weiqi's "Plan A" script, but Fu Wenhuai is embarrassed to join forces with the Shao family, so he rejected the proposal of this old rival. Although the tycoon felt uncomfortable, there was nothing he could do. However, looking at the films shot by "Donglai Company" and Jiahe Investment, they have achieved good results at the box office of rice films. I can't help but feel alive in my heart, and I also want to invest in a large number of pieces to test the water in the United States.
It's just that now the four famous directors of the Shao family, Li Hanxiang, are sick, and Hu Jinquan left to shoot "Empty Mountain Spiritual Rain" and almost went bankrupt because of serious overspending of investment funds; Zhang Ce and Chu Yuan are both famous for martial arts films, and they are good at shooting martial arts films, and they are not very good at fashion films.
However, the Shao family has a deep heritage and is full of talents. Even if there are no four major directors, Shao has many other film talents. It's just that the specific film to be filmed, Shao Tycoon hasn't figured it out in his heart yet, but he is not in a hurry.
And Xin Yicheng released a modern urban fashion comedy film "The Secret Technique of Chasing Women". This film is starring Shi Tian and Zeng Zhiwei in the "Big Three" of Xinyicheng, and the heroine is co-starred by Chen Xiuzhu and Yu Jie, female artists who have just signed a contract with Xinyicheng, and the director is the bald Mecca. While absorbing the essence of the plot of "Chasing Girls", he also added a lot of funny scenes, which had a strong competitiveness at the box office, and attracted many audiences to enter the Golden Princess Theater.
Of course, Gu Weiqi, who was far away in Tokyo, couldn't imagine that although he took the first step to drum up "chasing girls", Xin Yicheng also made a similar film. What he didn't expect was that just as he was about to end the meeting with the fans, suddenly a young man who called himself "Masao Iga" jumped on the stage and challenged him.
