Chapter 287: Invitation to Visit
"How much money do we lack?"
Director Yang Jie was a little confused.
Although the crew is very short of money, she really doesn't know how much she should ask for if she asks for a number directly.
The budget given by the upper echelons at the beginning was 3 million, which seemed like a lot a few years ago, but recently prices have risen so much that it is no longer enough.
The report was typed, but there was no reply from the station.
Later, I learned from Director Ruan, who has been supporting the filming of "Journey to the West", that because of rising prices, they are not the only crew that overspends.
"Dream of Red Mansions" is also nervous.
Taili was finally able to scrape together some money, and he was reluctant to give "Dream of Red Mansions" to the side.
"Journey to the West" can only be self-reliant.
As a last resort, she decided to mobilize the crew to raise money everywhere.
But what I didn't expect was that this thing had just begun, and someone would sponsor it.
And it's also foreign-owned.
Production director Li Hongchang heard Yang Jie's question and didn't know how much it should cost.
Sponsorship, isn't it all people who give a number, how can you make yourself bid?
If he really wants three or five million, can the other party give it?
Both of them were a little embarrassed for a while.
"People just want to sponsor, but they don't ask for anything?" Director Yang Jie asked.
"I didn't say anything, I just mentioned sponsorship."
After Li Hongchang replied, he emphasized, "The above attaches great importance to this matter, so let's hurry up and write a report." ”
"I know, I know." Director Yang Jie thought quickly.
This is foreign capital, and of course the above attaches great importance to it.
The sponsorship that I can't give is foreign exchange, and it's in short supply.
After thinking for a while, Director Yang Jie gave a suggestion, "Why don't we invite people to visit the crew to understand our practical difficulties, maybe they can give more sponsorship." ”
"I think it's okay, if we can give two million, let's save some use, and it should be enough to finish filming the twenty-five episodes in the plan."
Li Hongchang thinks it is feasible.
"That's it, you go and report, this matter can't be delayed."
"I'll go."
Li Hongchang agreed, and then wrote a report.
At this time, the crew of "Journey to the West" was filming in Kunming, Yunnan, and learned that there were foreign investors willing to sponsor the crew.
The dark clouds in the crew that were originally caused by lack of funds immediately dispersed a lot, and everyone's morale during filming was much higher.
……
And just when the crew of "Journey to the West" was happy because of the sponsorship.
Arriving in San Jose City, Hideki Hanyu learned briefly about the work of the Genie Entertainment Branch.
I didn't stop in Silicon Valley for long, so I took a non-stop flight to New York.
For Hideki Hanyu, the so-called New York high circle, he is not very interested.
The reason is simple, with the color of his skin, even if he can attend one or two parties, it is impossible to fully blend in.
Anyone who has watched Americana's film "Green Book" that reflects racial issues will understand.
Even if he is named an artist, in the eyes of these so-called high society, he is just a "mascot".
He was invited only to show off their noble life, the form of artistic taste.
That's why he won't be like Sony's 'business saint', moving his family and spending decades just to fit into a circle that doesn't belong to him.
Of course, the saint who runs the business may have business considerations, but that is not something he can guess.
However, when it comes to Akio Morita, he also has an itinerary to visit the other party when he comes to New York on this trip.
The main reason is that on the EGP ONE arcade, Akio Morita gave great support to Genie Entertainment.
From the beginning, with Trilon CRT technology, Sony helped Genie Entertainment develop dedicated displays.
To the recent arcade production, Sony was the first to support guaranteed purchase contracts.
As the owner of Genie Entertainment, Hideki Hanyu is definitely going to visit Akio Morita and express his gratitude in person.
In business, sometimes you can't just talk about business.
And Hideki Hanyu, who is familiar with the future, feels that there is still a lot of cooperation with Sony.
His two clubs seem to be developing well, but compared to a giant like Sony, it is still a bit worse.
Sony Entertainment alone, the turnover announced last year was trillions, and cloud entertainment couldn't catch up.
The highest-selling product of Genie Entertainment is the first to be released.
Neon sales exceeded 20 million, and the total global sales exceeded 30 million.
It seems like a lot, but it is also the end of the strong crossbow.
Now it relies on various derivative versions to mix sales.
Compared with Sony's single products, the global sales of hundreds of millions of dollars can only be regarded as a fraction.
Therefore, in the face of Sony and Akio Morita, Hideki Hanyu still has respect.
Of course, it was rare for him to come to New York once, and naturally he couldn't do just two things.
Examine the market situation of Genie Entertainment in New York.
As a picture book writer, he participated in events organized by the American Library Association.
Communicate with SOM Architects about issues and changes to the house under construction in San Jose.
So, Hideki Hanyu is here to attend a party on the surface, but there are actually a lot of things to do.
On the day I arrived in New York, it was March 2nd.
Hideki Hanyu stayed at the St. Regis, a prestigious luxury hotel halfway between Madison Avenue and Fifth Avenue.
In the living room of the hotel suite, Hideki Hanyu rests on a soft sofa.
Hold a Pokeball 2 handheld in your hand to play Tetris.
As much as he wanted to sleep, he had to hold on.
Whether it's from Neon to America or from America back to Neon.
Jet lag is a trouble that can't be avoided.
However, he resisted drowsiness here, but the assistant Ishihara Tomoe has been busy since he entered the hotel.
The schedule is tight and the official business is busy.
Ishihara had to practice arranging everything in advance to make sure that nothing could go wrong with Hideki Hanyu's upcoming activities.
After making several phone calls in a row, Tomoe Ishihara suddenly said to Hideki Hanyu.
"Hanyu-sensei, Ms. Nadia's contact in New York has already had initial communication with SOM's designers, and she said that she would like to meet with you to explain some questions."
"Ah...... Now? ”
Hideki Hanyu, who was sitting on the sofa, yawned tiredly.
"Yes." Tomoe Ishihara replied.
Hideki Hanyu felt a little sleepy and didn't want to agree.
But I thought that the trip would not stop from tomorrow, and it would not be suitable to change to another time, so I finally agreed, "Then let me come." ”
"Okay, I'll let you know." Tomoe Ishihara said.
It didn't take long for the little assistant to be busy, and Hideki Hanyu, who was sitting on the sofa and was sleepy to the point of being in a trance, heard a few knocks on the door.
He raised his hand and motioned for Marco to open the door.
Then I heard Marco at the door asking for confirmation.
Immediately after, Hideki Hanyu saw a woman with a document in her hand and followed Marco in.
The woman has a plump figure, beautiful facial features, a black shiny slightly curly hair hanging down on her shoulders, a black skirt and black stockings, and clattering high heels.
Hanyu Hideki then realized that the other party was not someone else, it was Nadia's niece.
Monica Bellucci, known as the "ball flower".
"Hello Mr. Hanyu."
In the face of Hideki Hanyu, a billionaire, Monica Bellucci is still very polite.
Originally, it was the first time I saw Hideki Hanyu, and Hideki Hanyu reacted when he saw an "acquaintance".
also made Monica Bellucci mistakenly think that Hideki Hanyu was interesting to her, and gave birth to some different thoughts.
Who would have thought that since then, the two have never met again.
Now that I think about it, it was she who was self-inflicted.
Now seeing Hideki Hanyu, Monica Bellucci is a little embarrassed because of her original self-inflicted affection.
"Hello, Miss Monica." Hideki Hanyu said.
The current "ball flower" is not the glamorous star in the future.
With a light makeup painted on his face, he looks a lot more modest than he remembers.
But even if the future "ball flower" is in person, and Hanyu Hideki, who is used to seeing beautiful women, is estimated to have no reaction.
After greeting him, he asked casually.
"Remember the last time I saw Ms. Nadia, she said that Miss Monica won't be coming to North America until April?"
"Cousin Federica was an intern in New York, so she was in charge of the connection with New York.
But something happened to her recently, and Aunt Nadia was in dire need of manpower, so I came early. ”
Hearing Monica Bellucci's words, Hideki Hanyu immediately remembered the last time he saw Nadia.
The daughter of the other party fell out with the family for the sake of her boyfriend on Wall Street.
Nadia had no choice but to ask her niece to come over in advance to help.
"In that case, let's tell us about Miss Monica's communication with SOM."
Hideki Hanyu doesn't care who is in charge of the work, as long as it doesn't delay his business.
When Monica Bellucci heard this, she picked up the file to report.
Hideki Hanyu pointed to a sofa next to him and said to Monica Bellucci, "Miss Monica can sit down and talk." ”
Then he couldn't help but yawn again.
"I'm sorry, I just arrived in America the day before yesterday, and the jet lag hasn't been reversed."
"Thank you, Mr. Hanyu."
After Monica Bellucci finished speaking, she sat down on the sofa next to her and began to report to Hideki Hanyu.
Hideki Hanyu asks a few questions from time to time that he doesn't understand, so that it will be easier to communicate with the designer when he meets later.
Just as the two were talking, Tomoe Ishihara, who was working next to him, suddenly put down the phone, came to Hideki Hanyu, and whispered.
"Mr. Akio Morita is online."
When Hideki Hanyu heard this, he said to Monica Bellucci, "Lose company." ”
Then, without waiting for the other party to answer, he walked straight to the side and picked up the phone.
"Hello Mr. Akio Morita......"
Hideki Hanyu exchanged a few polite words with the founder of Sony, and then received an invitation from each other.
Akio Morita invited him to a private dinner hosted by him tomorrow night.
"It is a great honor to receive Mr. Morita's invitation." Hideki Hanyu said.
"Looking forward to President Hanyu's arrival."
After Akio Morita finished speaking, he didn't forget to emphasize one more sentence, "For tomorrow night's dinner, President Hanyu had better bring a female companion." ”
……
Hanging up the phone, for Akio Morita's last words, Hanyu Hideki was a little worried.
When he came to New York this time, except for his assistant Ishihara Tomoe, he only brought bodyguards with him.
With a female companion?
It's time like this, where can he go to find a female companion.
He didn't mind having his assistant take his place temporarily.
But after looking at the image of Ishihara Chie, he finally gave up.
Turning his gaze, Hideki Hanyu saw Monica Bellucci, who was still waiting there, ready to continue reporting to him.
When he stepped forward and asked, "Is Miss Monica familiar with ballroom dancing?" ”
Monica Bellucci wondered why Hideki Hanyu suddenly asked her this.
But he nodded and replied, "I've learned a little." ”
"Great, I'm going to a private dinner in Manhattan tomorrow, I wonder if I can invite Miss Monica to be my female companion?"
Hideki Hanyu sent out the invitation directly.
For him, as long as there is someone to make up the number temporarily, it doesn't matter if she is a "ball flower" or not.
If you don't know the place well in New York, you can't rent a female publicist.
If it was known, it would be a joke.
"This ......"
Monica Bellucci was a little overwhelmed.
She really didn't expect that Hideki Hanyu would suddenly invite her to be her female companion.
But I was thinking about Hideki Hanyu's words.
Private dinner in Manhattan.
A dinner party that can invite a billionaire like Hideki Hanyu to attend is certainly not ordinary.
That almost represents high society?
For an ambitious woman.
Monica Bellucci didn't want to miss such an opportunity.
So after just a moment of hesitation, she agreed without hesitation.
"Thank you so much, Miss Monica." Hideki Hanyu said.
"You're welcome, Mr. Hanyu, I'll continue to report back to you."
"Yes."
Next, Monica Bellucci continued to report to Hideki Hanyu.
Half an hour later, the debriefing ended.
Monica Bellucci stood up and said goodbye to Hideki Hanyu, "Mr. Hanyu, I'll take my leave first. ”
But Hideki Hanyu raised his hand and said, "Wait." ”
Monica Bellucci asked a little strangely, "Is there anything else Hanyu-sama is going on?" ”
"Miss Monica, have you forgotten about tomorrow's dinner, time is tight, and it's actually a little late to prepare."
"Ready?" Monica Bellucci didn't figure out what to prepare.
Hideki Hanyu looked the other party up and down, "Of course I'm ready to look, Monica can't wear this dress now." ”
Monica Bellucci looked at her dress and seemed to realize that she had come to New York this time without any formal outfits.
And even if she brought it, the clothes she had bought before might not be suitable for a high-class dinner party in Manhattan.
"So how do I prepare?" Monica Bellucci didn't understand it at all.
"Miss Monica is here to help me this time, so I'll leave everything to me."
Hideki Hanyu smiled.
It's New York, next to Fifth Avenue.
There are so many places to solve Monica Bellucci's styling problems.
"Let's do it now."
After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he left the hotel with everyone.
As a rich person, there is naturally a rich man's way of doing things.
The dollar opens the way and heads straight to a high-end private styling studio in New York.
These studios usually serve America stars and upper-class celebrities.
There, there will be a dedicated stylist to help customers provide a full range of styling services.
The studio works with the big brands all year round.
Hairstyles, makeup, and costumes can all be done in the studio, and there is no need to run around the family.
Speaking of which, it's also because Hideki Hanyu doesn't mix in New York.
I haven't worked with any of these studios.
Otherwise, a phone call will be made to the door by a dedicated styling consultant.
A few hours later, Hideki Hanyu left the studio with Monica Bellucci.
At this time, Monica Bellucci is already the same as before.
The black slightly curly hair has become the most popular burgundy big wave at the moment.
From head to toe, it is a big-name costume carefully selected by the stylist.
A long red dress with a fur shawl and high heels encrusted with sparkling crystals.
Coupled with flaming red lips, beautiful and moving makeup.
The simple Italian girl disappeared.
At this moment, in the eyes of everyone, it is the "ball flower" in the future.
"Thank you, Mr. Hanyu." Monica Bellucci said to Hideki Hanyu.
In the styling studio, she tried on many luxury outfits, as well as expensive jewelry, under the arrangement of her stylist.
After deciding on tomorrow's look, Hideki Hanyu also gave her valuable clothes and shoes.
said that it was a thank you for her willingness to be a female companion.
And the experience of just a few hours also gave Monica Bellucci a glimpse of the life of the rich and felt the power of money.
"You're welcome, Miss Monica, let's get in the car, it's freezing to death."
After walking out of the studio, the cold feeling really made Hanyu Hideki uncomfortable.
In New York in March, the coldest temperature can even reach below freezing.
Although he didn't pay attention to the temperature today, in terms of physical sensation, even if it reaches below zero, I'm afraid it's not much worse.
At this temperature, he didn't want to stay outside at all.
But I glanced at Monica Bellucci, who was wearing a skirt and only a shawl, standing in the cold wind and enjoying the attention of passers-by.
Hanyu Hideki can only say that for the sake of beauty, women can really endure anything.
At his urging, everyone got into the car parked on the side of the road.
This is a new Bentley Mulsanne courtesy of the St. Regis Hotel.
Hideki Hanyu doesn't like to stay in New York, so he's not interested in buying property here.
After getting into the car, Hideki Hanyu asked Monica Bellucci.
"Where Miss Monica lives, I'll send you back first."
Monica Bellucci thought that it was all at this point, and Hideki Hanyu would definitely invite her to dinner or something.
Who would have thought that Hanyu Hideki would be so ignorant of customs that he would send her back.
She was a little disappointed in her heart, and she couldn't make a direct request, so she could only report the address of the hotel where she lived.
When Hideki Hanyu heard the name, he frowned.
The hotel where Monica Bellucci stays, although not a bad area.
But it's so far away that it's a bit of a hassle whether it's the stylist coming in tomorrow to do the styling or going to the dinner party.
Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu said to Monica Bellucci.
"If Miss Monica doesn't mind, stay at my hotel, so it's easier to style and attend dinner tomorrow."
When Monica Bellucci heard this, she thought that Hideki Hanyu had become interested in her again.
Without hesitation, he agreed, "Then thank you, Mr. Hanyu." ”
But what Monica Bellucci didn't expect was that Hideki Hanyu said that she would stay in the same hotel.
It's really simple to stay in the same hotel.
After the group returned to the St. Regis Hotel, Hanyu Hideki did not entertain him personally, but arranged for an assistant to help Monica Bellucci check in.
Immediately afterwards, he asked the bodyguard to go to the original hotel and help him get his luggage.
He went straight back to his room, collapsed on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Jet lag is already hard, and Hideki Hanyu, who has been carrying it for a day, is really unbearable.
As for the formalities, Monica Bellucci, who stayed in this kind of luxury hotel for the first time.
Lying on the soft luxury bed covered with velvet quilts, the mood is really not very good.
The reason why this is so is all because of Hideki Hanyu's unpretentious color to her.
The time came to noon the next day.
Monica Bellucci, led by Tomoe Ishihara, went to the hotel restaurant for dinner.
But I found that Hideki Hanyu, who was still for breakfast, was missing at this time.
She tried to ask Ishihara Tomoe, "Isn't Mr. Hanyu coming to dinner?" ”
"The boss finished breakfast and left, going to meet the representative of the New York dealer who works with Genie Entertainment."
Tomoe Ishihara replied.
When Monica Bellucci heard this, she immediately realized.
In Hanyu's mind, she was just an outsider who was used as a dinner lady.
This kind of realization made the depression in her heart even stronger.
……
What Monica Bellucci thinks, Hideki Hanyu doesn't care.
On his second day in New York, he pulled himself together and met with several dealer owners.
PS consoles are about to go public, even if there are fixed partners such as Walmart and Best Buy, but retailers in New York cannot be ignored.
As the largest single market in America, due to the specificity of the city, the kind of chain retailers in New York does not have the energy of these dealers.
This is also the reason why Nintendo, another time and space, will put the important battlefield of opening the market in New York.
In the previous life, in order to suppress Sega, Nintendo asked dealers not to sell Sega's consoles.
Although Sega eventually opened up the market with a series of marketing tools.
But in the early days, it was still tossed badly.
Now in America, the preemptive Genie Entertainment will not hesitate to use this method against Nintendo at critical moments.
When Nintendo banned Sega, the only best-selling products were FC consoles.
But today's elf entertainment, electronic Pokeball, and Pokeball 2 handheld are still selling well.
If the PS console is successful after its launch, Nintendo's life will definitely not be easy.
When the time comes, Hideki Hanyu will also let Nintendo enjoy the treatment of Sega in another time and space.
And the premise of all this is to build a good relationship with dealers.
Therefore, this time, in order to show his attention, he came to New York to pay a personal visit.
New York, the headquarters of a dealership that works well with Genie Entertainment.
Hideki Hanyu is talking to the general manager named Mark.
Mark said to Hideki Hanyu with a smile on his face, "I'm interested in the new products of Genie Entertainment. ”
"Then the internal trial meeting next week, Mr. Mark, please be sure to come."
"No problem, our cooperation with Elf Entertainment is very pleasant, and Elf Entertainment's products have never disappointed us, I will definitely go on time."
"When the time comes, I will personally welcome Mr. Mark here."
"That's a real honor."
In a pleasant atmosphere, Hideki Hanyu ended his meeting with Mark.
After leaving the other party's headquarters, Hanyu Hideki couldn't help but stretch.
"It's finally over."
This Mark is the last seller he wants to meet on today's trip.
Thinking of going to Akio Morita's private dinner in the evening, Hideki Hanyu instructed Marko.
"Marko, let's go back to the hotel."
By the time Hideki Hanyu drove back to the hotel, there wasn't much time left until the dinner began.
The door-to-door stylist has even helped Monica Bellucci complete the look.
Fortunately, he didn't have much to prepare, and the clothes were his own haute couture suits.
The stylist only needs to do a simple job of his makeup and hair.
In order to be ready to leave at any time, Monica Bellucci also came to Hideki Hanyu's room to wait.
She saw Ishihara Tomoe take out items from her luggage and help Hanyu Hideki take them out.
High-top suits.
A good tie to match.
A Patek Philippe watch that looks expensive.
……
Finally, when she saw Ishihara Tomoe carefully take out a pair of gold-rimmed glasses from a wooden glasses case with "Lotos" written on it, carefully wipe them and give them to Hideki Hanyu.
I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is Mr. Hanyu short-sighted?" ”
She noticed that Hideki Hanyu didn't seem to wear glasses all the time.
Tomoe Ishihara shook her head slightly, "That's a flat mirror, it's just for matching clothes." ”
"Uh......"
Match your outfit with glasses worth nearly 100,000 pounds.
Monica Bellucci, who thought she had seen the life of a rich man, instantly felt that she didn't seem to have seen enough.
"It's almost time, let's go."
After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he took the beautiful and moving Monica Bellucci to Akio Morita's private dinner.
Sixties.
In order to help Sony open up the international market, Akio Morita moved his family to New York and spent a huge amount of money to buy a property at 1010 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.
Since then, Akio Morita has often held private dinners in his apartment. Invite business celebrities to attend and expand their connections in America.
Hideki Hanyu arrived here today.
Akio Morita took his wife and personally greeted Hideki Hanyu.
After exchanging pleasantries, Hideki Hanyu discovers that he is not the only guest of the day.
Although he didn't know who the other guests were, he wouldn't be ordinary people in New York who wanted to come to this dinner.
With his female companion, he quietly observed the apartment on the top floor of 1010.
The location of the apartment is good, with huge glass windows overlooking the Metropolitan Museum and New York's Central Park.
Next to the huge living room is a neon-style kitchen.
Because there is no shelter in the middle, guests can directly see the chef in action.
It seems that neon specialty foods are being processed.
All kinds of sushi.
All kinds of sashimi.
There is also a special miso soup.
Seeing this, Hideki Hanyu remembered an interesting story.
A few years later, Warren Buffett was also invited to a dinner party by Akio Morita.
According to Alice Schroeder, who was a colleague at the time, described in her autobiography.
It was a terrible dinner for Warren Buffett.
Warren Buffett said that he never knew in his life that there were so many things that could be eaten raw.
It is said that since then, Buffett has never eaten neon food again.
This kind of dinner party looks like a novelty.
But when you get involved, that's what it feels like.
When the music starts, everyone will take their female companions down for a short dance.
When they weren't dancing, the men would get together in twos and threes to talk about business.
Female companions will be alone together and talk about fashion and art.
Monica Bellucci, who came with Hideki Hanyu, was excited to participate in these female companions at first.
But she soon found that these people were polite to her on the surface, but the feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away in the words was also undisguised.
From the eyes of these women, it is easy to tell who is in this circle and who is not.
They are actually more interested in Hideki Hanyu than Monica Bellucci.
It's not because of Hideki Hanyu's worth.
Rather, it is a writer's identity recognized by the European cultural and artistic circles.
But Monica Bellucci was cold.
Hanyu Hideki felt that Akio Morita had a good attitude towards him.
At the end of the banquet, after everyone finished eating neon dishes together and started to leave, Akio Morita left him alone.
Akio Morita asked his wife to take Monica Bellucci to visit other places, and then asked Hideki Hanyu.
"It's beautiful, but it doesn't seem to be familiar with President Hanyu."
Hanyu knew that Akio Morita was talking about Monica Bellucci.
He is not surprised that the other party can see it, after all, he is a top person who has been up and down in the business sea for many years.
He will not deliberately conceal such a trivial matter and explain it directly.
"The niece of an agent who helped me build a house came to New York without a female companion, so I invited her to be a temporary female companion."
"Build a house?"
"In San Jose, after all, my club branch is there." Hideki Hanyu said.
"President Hanyu should be in New York, it's the center of the world." Akio Morita said.
Regarding Akio Morita's statement, Hideki Hanyu was noncommittal.
Although the other party is regarded as the 'saint of management', his vision will still be limited by history.
New York, of course, is amazing.
But the next era belongs to Silicon Valley.
But in front of the other party, Hanyu Hideki naturally wouldn't say this.
"Recently, I've been thinking about buying real estate in New York, otherwise it's not convenient to stay in a hotel every time I come here."
"Yes, as a new generation of entrepreneurs, you must have the courage to go global, and President Hanyu's Genie Entertainment has done a good job in America."
"Actually, this time I came to thank Sony for its help to Elf Entertainment."
"President Hanyu doesn't have to thank Sony, Sony is looking at your strategic vision in the arcade, and I hope President Hanyu understands that there is only cooperation in the mall, not help."
Akio Morita suddenly threw out two sentences of "shopping mall truth".
Let Hanyu Hideki want to complain, do these big entrepreneurs have to be like this when they speak?
If you don't make a few famous quotes about entrepreneurs, it seems that you can't speak.
Fortunately, his own book sold well enough, and he didn't plan to write an autobiography or anything.
Otherwise, today's words of Akio Morita will have to be written down in it.
However, I am here today mainly to talk about cooperation.
Hideki Hanyu said straight to the point.
"Genie Entertainment will soon have a new product on the market at America, so there is a lot of cooperation between Genie Entertainment and Sony......
Next, Hideki Hanyu talked in detail about the possibility of cooperation between the PS console and Sony.
For example, like Nintendo and HP, they launched all-in-one TV sets.
Because of these collaborations, even after the dinner was over, Hideki Hanyu stayed in Akio Morita's apartment for a long time.
So when he returned to the St. Regis with Monica Bellucci.
It was already two hours after the dinner ended.
Along the way, Hideki Hanyu pondered the possibility of working with Sony.
Although he is only talking about the PS console today, as well as the EGP arcade machine.
But in his heart, there is more to work with.
For example, joint research and development, a new generation of host with optical disc as the carrier.
Or after Sony's acquisition of Columbia Pictures, cooperation in the entertainment industry.
He wasn't interested in live-action films.
But Pixar was already in his hands.
With the memory in his head, plus Pixar's ability to make it.
3D animated movies are the mountains of gold waiting for him to excavate.
He is familiar with history, and of course it is impossible for him to learn from Steve Jobs and sign the kind of harsh distribution contract with Disney.
When Sony first bought Columbia Pictures, it wasn't easy.
When the time comes, you might as well cooperate with Sony.
Wouldn't it be beautiful to have Sony's big head in front and make a fortune in the back.
Along the way, Hideki Hanyu was thinking about his plans for the future, completely ignoring Monica Bellucci beside him.
Until he returned to the hotel, Hideki Hanyu didn't say a word to the other party.
Seeing that Hideki Hanyu didn't say a word, he had to go straight back to his room to rest.
Monica Bellucci couldn't help it and asked Hideki Hanyu directly.
"Does Hanyu-san still need me tomorrow?"
Hearing this, Hideki Hanyu thought about tomorrow's itinerary and replied.
"Tomorrow I'm going to an art party at the Pace Gallery, and the day after tomorrow I'm going to be at the Amerika Library Society, and if you don't mind, you can continue to be my female companion."
As soon as Monica Bellucci heard this, the feeling of being cold at the dinner party and being ignored by Hideki Hanyu disappeared in an instant.
With a happy expression, he replied, "I would like to be Mr. Hanyu's female companion." ”
It can only be said that women are so strange.
If you treat her well and she gets used to it, then she won't cherish it.
If you ignore her all the time, if you leave, she will pay more attention to you.
At this time, she will be very satisfied and happy, and feel valued.
Hideki Hanyu, of course, didn't know what Monica Bellucci was thinking.
He just felt that it was a little inappropriate to let the family kick people away immediately after making a cameo appearance as a temporary female companion, so he asked what he said just now.
The other party wanted to follow, and he didn't mind bringing more people.
"Then I'll arrange someone to prepare it for you tomorrow."
After saying that, he was going to leave directly, as if he remembered something.
He also said to Monica Bellucci, "Thank you very much Miss Monica for your help, good night." ”
"Good night, Mr. Hanyu."
Monica Bellucci also said goodnight.
But as soon as she finished speaking, she found that Hideki Hanyu had already turned around and left.
I don't feel interested in talking to her more.
"Humph......"
Twenty-year-old Monica Bellucci, for the first time in front of a man, felt full of frustration.
Over the next few days.
Hideki Hanyu took Monica Bellucci to a private party at the Pace Gallery.
He also brought a painting for the party, which was bought by a lady for $20,000 in public display.
He then participated in the activities of the Amerika Library Association and communicated with SOM designers about some of the house's construction issues and changes.
In this way, he spent six days in New York before returning to Silicon Valley.
I just came back, and together with Michael Katz, I received the dealer representatives who came to participate in the internal trial meeting of the PS console.
Compared with the cold of the last Pokeball 2 handheld, this internal trial meeting of the PS console can only be described as a great success.
The epoch-making performance of the PS console, the powerful picture and audio output, and the light gun peripherals all made the dealers who participated in the trial extremely satisfied.
The main thing is that after experiencing the games of Genie Entertainment through the Pokeball 2 handheld.
I have already established initial confidence in the games of Genie Entertainment.
At this time, the PS console is listed.
Players will be able to experience the richer color graphics and sound effects of these games, as well as the full levels that are more playable.
Just thinking about it, you can guess how popular the PlayStation console will be with American players.
From 1983 to 1985, Genie Entertainment used electronic Poké Balls and Pokeball 2 handhelds to open up the market in America and create a good consumer reputation.
It's harvest time.
Elf Entertainment is going to usher in a harvest, and these dealers can also take advantage of the situation to make a lot of money.
So no one wants to give up.
The Pokeball 2 handheld also uses an exclusive period and a cashback on the shipping price to win over dealers.
But here in the PS console, Genie Entertainment does not need to give any promises, and a number of dealers compete first in order to ask for goods.
Some dealers said that as long as they give him as much as they give him, they will be exempted from advertising costs.
Some dealers said that as long as they gave him enough goods, he could get the money back once every half a month.
As the so-called sandpiper and clam compete with each other for the fisherman's profit.
Genie Entertainment is now firmly seated in Diaoyutai and unceremoniously accepts all the benefits.
At the same time, the Amerika Video Game Software Association has finally negotiated.
The first Electronic Entertainment Expo will be held in San Francisco starting April 20.
The media forces behind the Amerika Video Game Software Association made a collective effort, and the news of the E3 exhibition immediately spread all over the world.
The major game manufacturers also understand.
After Genie Entertainment spurred the recovery of the America gaming market with Pokeball 2.
E3 will be the clarion call to set sail for the world's largest game market!
For a time, applications for participation came from all over the world.
All the manufacturers are gearing up to take advantage of the E3 exhibition to take a bite of the largest game market in America.
Nintendo, which has dominated the neon console market, is ready to supply the NES console for Amerika.
They are going to compete with Genie Entertainment at the E3 show.
And Sega, which was defeated by Nintendo in Neon before.
After learning the lessons, the SG1000 console was revamped and ready to rely on the E3 show to find opportunities in the American gaming market.
Although there is still a month before the start of E3.
But many manufacturers seem to be able to smell the smell of gunpowder at the E3 exhibition.
……
City of San Jose.
Nadia found that her niece's mental state had been strange since she returned from New York.
Sometimes I get distracted for no reason.
When you're alone, you'll talk to yourself.
But when Nadia asked her niece if something had happened in New York, she said she was fine.
Nadia couldn't ask.
In addition, judging from the performance, it doesn't look like he's hurt at all.
I just don't care about it.
It's March 12th.
Nadia has some procurement problems and needs to go to Elf Entertainment to find Hideki Hanyu to confirm.
Who wants to just say it, but the niece took the initiative to say that it would be good for her to do this little thing.
Nadia didn't care, and handed the documents to Monica Bellucci.
With the papers, Monica Bellucci went to Elf Entertainment.
After leaving her aunt's company, she realized why she took the initiative to come to Hanyu Hideki.
If she has a crush on Hideki Hanyu, she doesn't believe it herself.
If you have to give yourself a reason.
Even though she didn't want to admit it, she knew what she was for.
It can be summed up in one sentence.
If I hadn't seen the light, I could have endured the darkness.
As Hideki Hanyu's female companion, a few days in New York saw and heard that her concept completely changed.
Back in Italy to model?
Or trying to become a lawyer?
And then slowly succeed?
Seeing the "beautiful" life of the upper class, she is no longer willing to be ordinary, and she is not willing to work hard a little.
Hideki Hanyu, a billionaire, is undoubtedly the best goal for her to achieve her dream.
Although Hanyu Hideki didn't seem to be very interested in her all along, it made her extremely depressed.
But apart from Hanyu Hideki, she has no other shortcuts.
Faced with the only option, she felt she had to hold on.
I got out of the car with the papers, and pulled the neckline of my skirt down against the window, making my ambition more obvious.
Then he tightened the belt around the waist to make the body line even hotter.
After everything was done, Monica Bellucci walked into the office building of Elf Entertainment.
Said to the receptionist.
"I'm looking for Mr. Hanyu, and I'm an employee of Bellucci Real Estate."
But then, the receptionist's words made her completely unexpected.
"I'm sorry, but Mr. Hanyu isn't here."
"Is he at the hotel?"
"No, Mr. Hanyu has something to do temporarily, so he will leave America by plane in the morning."
"Do you know where he went? When will I come back, I have documents on my side that he needs to confirm. ”
"I'm sorry, I don't know any of this, but if this lady is in a hurry, she can contact Mr. Hanyu's assistant."
"Thanks, I see."
Monica Bellucci left Elf Entertainment gloomily with a disappointed mood.
Hideki Hanyu was on a plane across the Pacific Ocean.
After receiving the dealer, Hideki Hanyu thought he could take a break.
Who would have thought that he received a call from Asako Hirohashi, telling him that the crew of "Journey to the West" invited sponsors to visit the crew,
"We're just going to sponsor it, so why did we invite us to visit the crew?"
"I don't know, maybe if you don't visit, you won't be allowed to sponsor, you said that you want to be sponsored by Elf Entertainment, do you need me to notify Kitahara-san and arrange for someone to go to Huaxia?"
"Since you are going to visit the crew, it is not appropriate to have only Elf Entertainment, so this time Cloud Entertainment and Elf Entertainment will sponsor together, you and Kitahara Sando will arrange some people, and I will personally lead the team."
"Hanyu-san wants to lead the team himself?" Asako Hirohashi was a little surprised.
"I've been to Huaxia twice, and I'm always a little more familiar."
Hideki Hanyu casually gave a reason.
It can't be said that he attaches great importance to this sponsorship and is worried that others will lead the team and mess up him.
"Okay, so is Hanyu-san going back to neon?"
"No, I'll fly directly from America to Xiangjiang, and everyone will gather there."
