Fame is something that cannot be seen or touched, but the benefits it brings are real, so there is a saying that 'you should become famous as soon as possible'.

For Sun Ziming, his reputation is big enough and good enough, so "The Last Samurai" also benefited a lot from the selection of the Golden Globe Awards, and unexpectedly won five awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Editing, and Best Soundtrack, completely suppressing "American Beauty", which should have been a solo show.

The mainstream media in the United States has long predicted this result, but can only express regret for such a result, "The Last Samurai" tells the story of Japan, in fact, it is a metaphor for all the underdeveloped countries; And "American Beauty" is about American problems and stories. For foreign journalists, perhaps "The Last Samurai" is better than "American Beauty" in terms of thought, art, and universal sense. If it weren't for Hillary? Swank, Denzel? Washington's performance is so exciting, maybe even the best actor and actress will make that Japanese chick and Tom? Cruise snatched it.

Nominated for the Golden Globe Award, it was enough for Tom Cruise and Kato Koyuki to laugh, not to mention that Cruise also won Best Supporting Actor for "Magnolia". Regardless of the protagonist or supporting role, as long as the word "best" is preceded, it means that the acting skills have been recognized! Cruise holds the trophy and throws a big party at his new mansion in Marbury Beach, while Kato Koyuki is admired by the violent aesthetic master Li Yusen and receives an offer for the heroine of his new film studio, "Black and Gold Empire".

Although the mainstream media did not mention it, David Letterman's big mouth still made fun of Sun Ziming and "American Beauty" in his talk show, 'Sam Mendes (Sam Mendes) is only a reputation worse than China, if he donated ten billion dollars to my alma mater, maybe he should win the best director and the best picture!'" ’

If it weren't for the box office and praise of "The Last Samurai", perhaps the mainstream media would have come to join in the fun, instead of ridiculing David Letterman on the second and third editions - 'It must have been pitted by China again, so I retaliated'! Because at Tom Cruise's party, everyone saw David drunk by China and Ming and throwing up in the bathroom.

……

The benefits of a good reputation are not limited to this, but Gil's negotiations with Kirk Kercorion have also been unusually smooth. Just one day before the Oscars were presented, Jill returned to Los Angeles from Las Vegas, bringing back not only a sponsorship deal with MGM, but also a large donation intention.

It's just that after hearing this, Sun Ziming couldn't help but pinch his teeth, that old guy wanted to use his reputation to promote his casino, plus pave the way for entering Macau! After Macau's return, the Golden Dragon Entertainment Company also got one of the three gambling cards, and the old guy from Kirk must have the idea of playing that deck, and first took a few million to explore the way.

Jill didn't know that Sun Ziming had a gambling card in his hand, but she knew that his cousin had married the daughter of the Macau gambling king, so she also knew Kirk's purpose. However, she was a little hesitant about Kirk's desire to donate to the University of Classics.

Gil participated in the establishment of Jingshi University and knew a little bit of the traditional concept of that country across the ocean. Pornography, gambling and drugs, in their eyes are tantamount to a flood of beasts, using casino money to run a school, how to explain to public opinion?

Besides, Kirk's old guy must be more than just donations. I'm afraid that Kirk's old guy, in addition to wanting to use the film to attract some Asian high-rollers, must also take a fancy to the boss's influence in Hong Kong and Macau, and want to use the boss's connections to enter there. Hey, in recent years, the rapid economic development of Red China, and the ban on pornography and gambling in China, Macau has naturally become a place of gold, how can a gambling tycoon like Kirk give up the opportunity to enter there?

"Boss, anyway, we have to be busy with the award first, why don't we delay it for a few days?"

Sun Ziming came back to his senses at this time, but Jill still didn't know about the Chinese and was misled by those official media. If you don't take the old guy's five million donations, you're sick in the head.

"Promise him that the money sent to the door will not be in vain. When the time comes, let the school hold a simple donation ceremony. ”

Jill was still very aggressive, and hesitated: "Boss? Will it affect the reputation of our school? Your country is no better than the United States. ”

Sun Ziming thought for a moment, didn't use his mouth, said Jiel's method, and asked rhetorically: "What can you do?" ”

"He is a businessman, and he wants real profit, not fame. We can talk to him about donations that can only be made in the name of a foundation or a private person, not in the name of their casino. Also, if he has other conditions, he is welcome to come and interview you directly, but the three million advertising fees and five million donations have to be paid to us first. ”

'Hehehe', Sun Ziming and the newly arrived George Hemerburn and Chris Columbus listened to Zhile and gave up those unrealistic ideas, Jill is worthy of being able to mess with James? Cameron's people.

"Ok, you can do this yourself and minimize the impact."

"Understood"

Jill agreed knowingly, and when he was about to leave, he was stopped by George again, "Jill, Hong Kong Satellite TV has filmed a large-scale historical drama "Shangshi Palace", which has extremely high ratings in Asia, ESPN is ready to introduce this TV series, what do you think?" ”

The introduction of "Shang Shi Palace", the boss and George have always had disagreements, and now come to ask for their own opinions? After a moment's stunned, Jill was ecstatic that he had finally entered the core layer of the Light and Shadow Group, and was no longer just the president of the film company.

However, Jill has been in the entertainment industry for more than 20 years, and caution has become her instinct, and this matter is very strange, and it is definitely not as simple as asking her own opinion. Standing in the boss's position, it will definitely attract George's dissatisfaction, and on the contrary, it may offend the boss, and the only way is to only talk about his own opinions, and not give advice.

Sun Ziming looked at Jill with a smile, George was talking about propaganda just now, but he was worried that Jill would be dissatisfied, and now Jill might fall into George's pit. As expected, Jill hesitated for a moment and hesitated: "Sorry, I'm not familiar with the TV industry, so I can't give advice." However, I've also been watching this TV series with Mingjuan, and as soon as they finished watching it, I immediately came to get the CD, and for that I had to bring a gift to ...... every time. ”

George interrupted unhappily, "What do you think of this TV series?" ”

"The production is excellent! The food, clothing, music, etiquette, and scenery in it can be enjoyed as an art film, and the plot is also full of twists and turns, although some places are not easy to understand, but it is indeed a rare classic! ”

As soon as the words fell, George immediately answered: "Boss, since you are going to introduce this TV series, you will replace a few children from "Harry Potter" on the red carpet tomorrow, and we need this publicity opportunity." As for Emma and Daniel, let Rowling and Chris take them. ”

George, this old fellow is so cunning that he has been fooled! Jill regretted and wanted to scold his mother, and hurriedly said, "How can this work?" The filming of "Harry Potter" is progressing very fast, and it is expected to be released in the summer, and our company also needs this opportunity to promote! "Harry Potter" can bring in nearly a billion dollars in revenue, but how much is "Shang Shi Palace"? ”

"No, no, Harry Potter is a novel with record sales, and with the director of Boss to direct it, it doesn't need too much publicity to attract fans to watch. "Shang Shi Palace" is different, if there is no good publicity opportunity, it is difficult for the audience to sit down and enjoy it.

Now is the schedule of TV series, and it is the TV series that should be promoted, not the movie! Jill, you are the top of the group, you must have a big picture, and you can't always keep your eyes on the film company. ”

"No, no, no, I'm talking about tangible benefits! I admit that "Shang Shi Palace" is an excellent TV series, but the benefits it brings us are not enough to compare with "Harry Potter"! ”

The two argued together, and Sun Ziming and Chris Columbus walked away a little and began to discuss the script for "The Hangover".

Chris is good at comedy, and if it weren't for Sun Ziming's troubles, the "Home Alone" series of movies would be his masterpieces, and he could see the potential commercial value of "The Hangover" at a glance. Europe and the United States have the custom of saying goodbye to single parties, and there are few people who are not drunk at the party, as long as those drunken things are collected and compiled into a script, it is easy to resonate with all adults.

"Yes, that's what I mean, making it into a series. However, you have to do it, I haven't been to a bachelor party, and I heard this story from Rowling's boyfriend. ”

"Boss, you're so generous!"

Chris was overjoyed, but a little surprised, this was simply giving him money, "Home/alone" made him a billionaire!

But he was too early to rejoice, and Jill was arguing with George, but his ears were standing up. Both Boss and Chris feel valuable, so it must be a cash cow, how can Chris be allowed to get cheap alone?

“No！ This series is the brainchild of boss and should be produced by boss's studio in conjunction with the company. If Chris wants to direct, he can only get paid and a share of the box office, and he is allowed to invest a part of it at most, but the share cannot exceed the company. ”

When it comes to benefits, George also said, "Yes, I think Jill is right. Another point, since it is a comedy, and it is also about saying goodbye to the single party, it must not be a big investment, so Chris can't convert the salary into an investment. ”

"Yes, at most, according to the example of Chris's original filming of "Home/Alone", give him a 5% share of the box office."

This is a discussion, it's a bully, but Jill said vigorously: "Chris, the boss donated the shares, and the studio is his personal property, we can't watch the boss only take salaries and dividends from the world, right?" ”

Sun Ziming was speechless, why are you competing for interests and pulling it on Lao Tzu? People here, who doesn't know that Lao Tzu is the richest, so much that he can't spend it all?

"That's different, the idea is yours, Chris just follows your idea and then creates. Just like Harry Potter, you lay the groundwork, and Chris is there to enjoy success. If "The Hangover" is like "My Fair Daddy", it is completely his own creation, of course, most of the benefits belong to him! ”

Jill had sharp teeth, and Chris was speechless, so he had to complain in his heart, if he was still like before, how much more money would he make?

"Ok, I think the boss should walk the red carpet with Ae. Career is career, life is life, what do you think, Boss? ”

Chris's sudden backlash made Sun Ziming very satisfied, "Ok, I think it's the same, we work hard, isn't it just for a better life?" That's it, I don't want Ae to make a fuss! ”
