Because the crew is about to go to Toronto to shoot the follow-up plot, except for some actors, no one else participated in the filming today.

Ji Cheng told Aniston last night that they would spend it together today, so naturally it was impossible to be busy with anything else.

In addition, he is now stirring up scandals with Madonna, and it is not suitable to take Aniston out, otherwise it will be a failure to be photographed by reporters.

With the experience of last night, Ji Cheng did not dare to put his date with Aniston in the hotel, but in the apartment rented by the company.

"Honey, after so long separation, do you want me?"

Aniston sat sexily on Ji Cheng's knees.

Ji Cheng ran so many steps with Madonna last night, where did he still have the strength, he secretly complained in his heart, but he said with a reluctant smile: "Of course, I must miss my baby girl."

"That...... Do you want me to serve you well?"

Aniston struck a seductive pose.

Ji Cheng's face turned green when he saw it, if he and Aniston were to do anything at this time, there was a chance that he would be killed, at least for a day.

But on the contrary, in order not to show flaws, he had to pretend to be in a hurry.

He suddenly thought of a song: I want to run away but can't......

Ji Cheng really wants to cry without tears, how good it would be if the mobile phone had a text message function, he could still secretly send a message to anyone for help, but the problem is that the world's first mobile phone text message was not successfully sent until 1992, and now it is still 19***, and the mobile phone has no SMS function at all!

Huh!

Don't have SMS on your phone?

Ji Cheng's heart suddenly moved.

There aren't many mobile phone patents today, after all, mobile phones have only been developed for a few years.

If you can develop enough mobile phone patents, you can make money even if you lie down in the future.

This is no joke.

Take Nokia as an example, in modern society, people even sell their mobile phone business, but they rely on mobile phone patents to earn 1.5 billion euros a year, which is equivalent to about 10.6 billion yuan in soft sister banknotes.

Not to mention that patents are sustainable to make money.

In addition, the future of mobile phones is something that people from all over the world can not live without, and if you enter the mobile phone industry, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money.

As for how to make a name for himself in the mobile phone industry, Ji Cheng feels that it couldn't be simpler, the most direct point is that now the mobile phone does not have a text message function, if he quits a mobile phone with a mobile phone SMS function, it will definitely be popular with the outside world.

For people who have not seen the "light" in the current era, they can still tolerate the "darkness", but for Ji Cheng, a person who has experienced the convenience of the text message function, he dislikes the mobile phone of the current era very much.

Especially in front of him, if there was a text message function, he could find someone for help at any time, but now he can only hold on.

"Oh, baby, you're so beautiful."

"Cheng, you're sexy too."

"I can't help but want to press you to the ground right away."

Ji Cheng forced a smile on his face.

But Aniston, who was wearing sexy pajamas, saw that Ji Cheng was so "anxious" and thought that the temptation had worked, so she stood up, "I'll wait for you in the bedroom."

With that, she twisted her waist and walked towards the bedroom.

Going to the bedroom?

It's going to kill my buddy!

Ji Cheng's eyes rolled, and while Aniston went to the bedroom with his back to him, he quickly opened the mobile phone address book, he was afraid that Aniston would find out, and he didn't see which number he pressed, so he dialed it directly.

While the mobile phone was dialing, Ji Cheng pretended to stand up and followed in, well, slowly.

Suddenly, Ji Cheng saw that the call seemed to be connected, he pretended to stretch his waist and put the phone to his ear, lowered his voice and said quickly, "I'm Ji Cheng, call me in two minutes and say that I have something important and let me go out."

At this time, Aniston was already half-lying on the bed, and she struck a seductive pose.

Ji Cheng was too late

Waiting for the other end of the phone to react, he hung up directly, and walked in with a smile, still saying words of praise in his mouth, "Baby, this pajamas are so beautiful on you."

"What about you...... Do you want to rip it off?" Aniston bit her lip.

Ji Cheng untied his tie, but pretended to be clumsy and couldn't untie it, "Of course I want to."

Call now!

Hurry up and call!

Ji Cheng roared angrily in his heart, but said in his mouth, "Eh, this tie knot is a bit dead, you wait for me for a while."

"I'll help you."

Aniston hadn't been with Ji Cheng for almost a month, and she was also in a hurry, so she got up from the bed and stepped forward to untie his tie.

Three times five divided by two is unraveled.

Then Ji Cheng's shirt was also taken off.

It's all about the pants at this point.

Ji Cheng showed a look of despair, it's over, his life is in danger today.

Suddenly, the bell rings, and the phone rings!

Aniston swiped the floor and looked over, "There's a phone."

Ji Cheng was overjoyed in his heart, but he was still pretending to say, "No matter, I haven't been with you for so long, and any phone call is not as important as you."

Aniston was still very reasonable, and said, "Maybe there's something going on in the company, you answer the phone first, and I won't run away, right?"

"No, I want you right now." Ji Cheng is still pretending.

Aniston saw that he was so anxious, and the little doubts in his heart disappeared, this is the normal reaction of a man who has not been with a woman for a long time, and he will not be so anxious if he has eaten secretly.

She was completely diskeptical, "Be good, answer the phone first."

Ji Cheng looked "reluctant", but his heart blossomed, "Okay, alas, if you don't call sooner or later, it's really annoying to call at this time."

As soon as he finished speaking, his mobile phone suddenly stopped ringing.

Ji Cheng: "......"

I'm Nima!

Don't bring such a trick!

Aniston looked at his phone, then at his "reluctant" expression on his face, and asked tentatively, "Shall we continue?" Or ......"

Jingle bells!

The phone is ringing again!

This time, Ji Cheng didn't dare to pretend to be forced, so he quickly answered the phone and said quickly, "Hello, hello, I'm Ji Cheng, who are you?"

Li Kai's voice came from the other end, "Mr. Cheng, there is something here that needs to be handled by you."

Aniston was next to her, of course she could hear whose voice it was, her eyes showed disappointment, it seemed that Ji Cheng was going to be busy again.

Ji Cheng was a chicken thief, glanced at Aniston, looked very impatient and said on the phone, "I finally have a day off, what has to be dealt with now, can't I talk about it tomorrow?"

"In terms of cinemas, the bosses of several cinemas on my side took the initiative to come to me to discuss cooperation, and you know, I haven't been in the film and television industry for a long time, and I don't know much about these aspects, so I still want you to come and make a decision." Li Kai is very clever.

Ji Cheng still looked a little embarrassed, "This ...... I can't get away with this."

"It's okay, I made an appointment with everyone to the company's Chicago office, you don't need to run, you can go directly to the office." Li Kaidao.

Now the mobile phone is still very loud, even if Aniston didn't deliberately listen, but she was next to her, and she still heard the conversation clearly.

Seeing that Ji Cheng was very "embarrassed", she whispered very considerately, "You go talk about things first, and come back early after talking."

Only then did Ji Cheng "reluctantly" reply to the phone and said, "Okay, I'll go to the office."

Hang up.

Ji Cheng said a few sorry words to Aniston, and then left the apartment "reluctantly".

And then...... Well, as soon as he ran out of the door of the apartment, he pedaled on both legs like Hot Wheels, and ran away as soon as he smoked.

Aniston, who witnessed everything, thought it was season

Cheng wanted to finish things quickly and come back early, and couldn't help but smile sweetly.

……

Sears Building.

This skyscraper is the tallest office building in the world, and it is also the tallest building in the world, and many people may not be familiar with this name, but if it is said that it changed its name in 2009, I believe many people will suddenly understand.

That's right, it's the Willis Building, which currently belongs to Sears. Roebuck Company, where many well-known companies gather, about 16,500 people come here every day to work, there is also a viewing platform for tourists to overlook the whole city on the 1003rd floor, the viewing platform is more than 400 meters above the ground, and when the weather is fine, you can see the beautiful scenery of the four states of the beautiful country here.

Huaying Pictures' Chicago office is rented in this office building.

Ji Wei came to think that Li Kai said that many theater leaders came to the door to talk about cooperation to shirk for themselves, but he didn't think much about it at the time, and came slowly.

But when he approached the office area, he suddenly found that Lu , the president of Huaying Pictures. Coman was approaching the conference room with a large group of strangers, men, women, old and young, but without exception, they were all dressed in formal clothes and looked very solemn.

"Mr. Cheng."

The front desk was a twenty-three or four-year-old white girl, and she saw Ji Cheng take the initiative to say hello.

Ji Cheng glanced inside, "Lu. Why did Corman get here?"

The front desk was stunned for a moment, "Mr. Coman just told me that Mr. Li called you, don't you know?"

Yes?

Li Kai called me?

Ji Cheng was stunned for a moment, wasn't Li Kai saving himself just now? But is something really calling?

In that case, who did I call just now?

Nima!

Don't call Anne. Rocky's phone, right?

Ji Cheng hurriedly took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, whew, fortunately not, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It was actually a call to Jordan.

Khan, no wonder he didn't return the call, and he estimated that the other party was also confused.

Ji Cheng knew who to call, and he didn't continue to think about it, considering that there was something serious, he walked straight towards the conference room.

Push the door in.

There's a conversation going on inside.

"...... the Chicago movie." A middle-aged white man in his forties is talking.

There were three or four other people sitting, a white man in his forties, a white woman in his 378 or 8, a man in his 289s, and a brown man.

Behind each of these four people stood a few people, seven or eight more, four or five less.

Perhaps because they heard the door open, everyone looked sideways.

"Mr. Ji."

"Mr. Ji, are you here in person?"

"Mr. Ji, hello, hello."

Everyone stood up and greeted each other.

Ji Cheng also smiled and responded one by one, and at the end, he came to the front and middle of the conference table and sat down. Koeman, "Introduce me to a few?"

Lou. Coman immediately said, "Okay, Mr. Cheng."

And then he started to introduce it.

The white man in his forties was Luo Yin, the owner of Cinemark Cinema. Mitchell, speaking of which, is also his own person in Ji Cheng's camp, after all, Blackstone Financial Management Company has become a shareholder, and Blackstone Financial Management Company is now controlled by Huajin Financial Management Company.

Ji Cheng has always had a good attitude towards his own people, and nodded with a smile when he heard the introduction.

LUO Yin. Mitchell was flattered and stunned, and did not respond to him for a while.

Ji Cheng didn't care, and continued to listen to Lu. Koeman introduced the others.

Unexpectedly, these people have a lot of backgrounds, and the white woman is the senior vice president of Emperor Entertainment Group, Rosa. Campbell, a brown man, is the head of the commercial partnership department of AMC Entertainment Holdings. Rifkin, as for the identity of the twenty-eight or nine-year-old white man, Ji Cheng was a little surprised, because this person lives

But it's a person from Paramount, called Freeman.

Today's Paramount is because of "Captain" Barry. Diller went to the Fourth Television Network, Michael. Eisner and Jeffrey. Katzenberg was also poached by Disney and temporarily fell into a low ebb.

Originally, after the release of "Paramount Eucalyptus" in 1948, the main studios of Hollywood were forced to sell their cinema chains, but with the deregulation of the Pretty Nation policy in the late 80s, large companies began to set foot in the cinema chain again, and Columbia Pictures, Universal, Paremon and Warner all bought some of the cinema chains.

For example, Ji Cheng acquired Columbia Pictures and Samsung Pictures, which included more than 800 movie theaters in 180 places across the United States.

Although Paramount is now at a low point, the number of movie theaters is no worse than that of Huaying Pictures.

Ji Cheng exchanged a few words of greeting with everyone, and quickly entered the topic.

LUO Yin. Mitchell was the most eager, and he came up and said directly: "Mr. Ji, as long as you are willing to put the premiere in our Lucky Cinema Cinema, I can give you the most favorable terms."

Ji Cheng smiled and asked, "What kind of preferential method?"

The others didn't say anything, obviously wanting to see Luo Yin as well. Mitchell gave the conditions, and then decided to make an offer with Huaying Pictures.

"First of all, I can promise that the film "Chicago" will be shown in all 58 cinemas of Shellrk, and that at least one screen in the cinema will play the film during each broadcast time period in the first week, and the number of screenings will be no less than 15 per day." LUO Yin. Mitchell directly gave the shocking favorable conditions!

The faces of the people from several companies next to him changed greatly when they heard this, Nima, you guy is crazy, your film is a big production condition, "Chicago" is a song and dance comedy, it is worth giving such good conditions?

Ji Cheng also didn't expect Luo Yin. Mitchell's conditions were so generous that his eyes lit up and said, "What about the box office share?"

"The box office share in the first week follows the old rules, and as you know, the theater chain can only get 8% of the box office in the first week, and there is no profit in itself." LUO Yin. Mitchell said helplessly.

That's right, at present, the beautiful national cinema line is not as tough as the modern society, the first week of the beautiful national cinema line in the modern society is generally about 70 percent, and more can get 80 percent, but because the box office share of Hollywood follows a ladder decreasing model, the proportion of film companies will drop to between 60 and 70 percent in the second week, only 45 to 60 percent in the third week, and only between 25 and 45 percent in the fourth week, but it will not be less than 25 percent.

In the current era, North American film companies are quite strong, with a 90% share of the box office in the first week, and even if they also follow a decreasing ladder model, they can still have a 50% share in the fourth week.

"As for the next three weeks......" Luo Yin. Mitchell pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "I can give you an extra five percent of the box office account, every week, but there is a premise, that is, the attendance rate must not be less than 50%, if it is less than 50%, this box office account will be invalidated, or use the original box office share model, Mr. Ji, what do you think?"

What do you think?

It's so generous!

Ji Cheng bowed his head and said, "Not bad."

He didn't immediately agree, but looked at the people next to him, "What about you? What conditions are given?"

Freeman, who was sent to Meng, said with a wry smile: "I can't give Huaying Pictures too many discounts in terms of box office sharing, but in terms of film scheduling, we can negotiate, as long as the attendance rate is enough, I can also give the film scheduling rate of Happy Manchurk."

"Me too."

"It's about the same time, the box office sharing really can't be discounted anymore, Mr. Ji, you should also know how difficult it is for our theaters."

Rosa Rosa Brown, Senior Vice President of Emperor Entertainment Group. Campbell, Director of Business Partnerships at AMC Entertainment Holdings, Zach Brown. Rifkin said so.

In fact, according to the current era of the box office share ratio is already very high, Ji Cheng naturally has no opinion, the only thing he asks for is to schedule enough films, hearing everyone say this, he tried to let Lu . Koeman fought for more favorable terms, but unfortunately these people bit to death

Finish.

In the end, Ji Cheng agreed to come down. Koman initialed the agreement with these people on behalf of the company, and the specific cooperation content will be followed by other people in the company, and when all the details are confirmed, and then the company will hold a press conference when the contract is officially signed, which can also bring a wave of publicity to the film.

After initialling the agreement, the men got up and left.

Ji Cheng didn't get up to send him off, he now has a very high status in the beautiful country, and these people are not worth letting him get up and send him off in person.

He looked at several initialed agreements and was surprised to find that the number of premiere weekly films had reached 4,000, and you must know that the number of premiere weekly films in the current era is generally only 1,000.

Hey, if the 1,000 screenings on Thursday of the premiere can't be successful, then the buddy will die head-on.

Ji Cheng was secretly excited in his heart, and even looked forward to it, there are more films scheduled for "Chicago" in the current time and space than in 2002, will the box office be higher?

This question has not yet been answered, and we will need to wait until the movie is released to find out.

However, Ji Cheng is already very satisfied, according to his understanding of the film "Chicago", and with so many scheduled films, the box office will not be bad at seven or eight times out of ten.

Just as I was thinking about it, my phone suddenly rang.

Ji Cheng thought that Aniston was looking for him, so he didn't think much about it, so he picked it up and connected it, "Baby......

"Ugh...... Mr. Ji, can you stop being so disgusting?" Jordan's speechless voice came from the other end.

Ji Cheng almost fell headlong, Nima, he is so affectionately called, don't treat Jordan as a base again, he quickly explained, "Michael, I thought it was my girlfriend calling, but I didn't expect it to be you."

"I envy you for finding Madonna as your girlfriend." Jordan said that he thought that Ji Cheng's girlfriend was Madonna.

Ji Cheng didn't explain anything in this regard, and instead asked, "You called me to tell Jerry?"

"Oh, yes." Jordan responded, "When you called me just now, I happened to be talking to Jerry on the phone, so I didn't get back to you right away, Jerry didn't want to sell the team at first, and it took me a lot of effort to convince him to be willing to sit down and talk to you."

Yo!

Would you like to sit down and talk?

Ji Cheng's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you Michael."

"Don't rush thanks." Jordan said heavily, "If you become my boss in the future, I have the conditions."

"What?" Ji Cheng asked.

Jordan showed a serious tone, "Get me two powerful helpers, I'm going to blow up a few bastard guys in Detroit!"

Of course, Ji Cheng knew the grievances between Jordan and the Detroit Pistons Bad Boy Army, and similarly, if he could buy the Chicago Bulls, he would definitely hope to win the championship, so he agreed: "No problem, as long as you want, I just have to spend money to find a helper for you when the time comes, of course, you also have to win a few more championships for me."

Call.

There's finally a chance to buy the Chicago Bulls, a dynasty team.

Ji Cheng is very excited, whether he can succeed in winning the Bulls depends on tonight's negotiations, although it is not clear whether the negotiations will go smoothly, but one thing Ji Cheng can be sure of, that is, the Chicago Bulls are determined to win, no matter how much money is spent, he will get it!
