Chapter 379: Cloud Pictures, Thinking About the Next Movie, Help in the Dark
April 24th.
The first day after the end of the Amerika Electronic Entertainment Expo.
Sunset Boulevard.
Hillman Pictures.
This small film company was born in the 60s, and although it has never had a glorious life, it can survive to this day.
But today, it has changed hands.
In the general manager's office, Mr. Hillman Jr. signed the acquisition contract, took $430,000 with his beautiful female secretary, and left in style.
Before going out, the second ancestor did not forget to take off his hat to the former employees who were worried about the company's acquisition.
"Guys, I've helped you find a rich boss, so you don't have to worry about your salary anymore. So, don't be sad, you should be happy. β
At this time, Hillman was no longer the boss, and he was still doing things in such a high-profile manner, which immediately provoked a dissatisfied retort from an employee.
"Little Hillman, you bastard, you sold the company and said this, you can take the money to invest on Wall Street, what if we are laid off? We still have families to feed! β
In the face of the rebuttal, little Hillman showed a disapproving expression and laughed.
"Haha...... What are you going to do, you should ask your new boss. β
As soon as these two sentences came out, they immediately ushered in more cursing.
It can be seen that the employees of Hillman Pictures have been dissatisfied with this second ancestor for too long.
But in the face of everyone's swearing, Hillman was completely unmoved.
This is America.
It's the world of the rich.
Except for a few words.
What can these people do with him, a rich man?
Fortunately, he just sold the company and was in a good mood.
Otherwise, you must ask the lawyer to send a lawyer's letter to these out-of-the-box guys.
However, although little Hillman didn't care, he was not interested in being cursed, and after bending down and making a thank-you ceremony, he walked out with the beautiful female secretary.
At this moment, the door of the general manager's office, where the contract had been signed before, was pushed open.
Out of a tall, thin white man.
It was Fred Webb, who accepted the commission to acquire Hillman Films.
Look at the employees who are still cursing little Hillman.
Fred Webb's face was displeased, and he immediately snorted coldly.
Although he was swept away by Los Angeles TV, he has been a producer for many years, and he naturally has a leadership momentum.
And after working in the industry for so many years, he naturally knows what attitude to use to deal with these ordinary employees in a place like Hollywood.
It can't be too harsh, but it's definitely not too kind either.
The employees heard Fred's cold snort and saw that it was the person who had acquired the company.
Knowing that he might have to beg for a living under other people's hands in the future, he suddenly didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and they all shut up.
Fred Webb waited for no one to speak, and then spoke, "Alright, the new boss is coming, everyone is ready to welcome." β
Hillman Pictures' rented office building, inside the first floor of a shop.
After Fred Webb finished speaking, he led everyone towards the door of the company, ready to welcome the new boss who was about to come.
At this time, the former employees of Hillman Pictures also understood.
It turned out that the boss had someone else.
At the same time.
Little Hillman, who had just left, took the beautiful female secretary who had just left the shop where the company was located, and walked to the side of the street to prepare to drive away.
But at this moment.
A convoy that came slowly and suddenly stopped beside him attracted his attention.
The first car was a Rolls-Royce Extended 'Silver Dawn' with a vertical mark.
Behind are three Audis of the same style.
All the cars were black, suddenly appeared, and stopped in front of them.
Let little Hillman feel a serious and calm sense of oppression.
For a moment, he felt that his Lincoln beside him was an eyesore.
And just then, the doors of the three Audis opened.
First walked down five tall, strong men in black suits, with a cold imposing attitude, and they got out of the car and walked towards the extended Rolls-Royce 'Silver Dawn'.
Immediately after, three more Asian men of ordinary temperament and different ages stepped out of the Audi.
They trotted behind the five before them, standing respectfully next to the elongated Rolls-Royce 'Silver Dawn'.
Everyone, it seems, is waiting for a big man to come down from the Rolls-Royce 'Silver Dawn'.
In little Hillman's shock and curiosity.
A strong man in black opened the backseat door of the Rolls-Royce 'Silver Dawn'.
A pair of black silk beautiful legs appeared in the eyes of little Hillman first.
Immediately after him, he saw a woman wearing the same slim professional skirt as his female secretary, with burgundy curly hair, a plump figure, delicate curves, beautiful appearance, and a strong but charming aura.
When you see this beauty, you can look at the female secretary next to you.
Little Hillman suddenly felt that in addition to his Lincoln car, there were more things around him that were an eyesore.
And this beauty did not stay away after getting out of the car.
Instead, he stood quietly at the door of the car.
Obviously, it was not this beauty that everyone was waiting for.
Then Hillman saw a young Asian man in a navy blue suit get out of the car.
Even little Hillman, who is difficult to judge the appearance of Asians, must admit it.
This young Asian man with a straight body, three-dimensional facial features, and star-like eyes is a handsome young man.
The most important thing is that the temperament of the other party is very special.
There is the momentum of a perennial person in a high position.
There is also a rich sense of elegance.
But there is a kind of gentleness, easy to get close to.
The most important thing is that Hillman Jr. knows each other.
This look, and Forbes magazine, he is too impressed.
This is a billionaire.
Seeing that the other party was about to leave with the female secretary, little Hillman instinctively wanted to go up and get acquainted.
But before the man could get to him, little Hillman was stopped by a strong man in black.
He even saw that the other big men in black had already put their hands into their arms.
He definitely didn't think that it was to hand him a cigarette.
So when he stopped, he looked at the handsome young man, hoping to say a few words to the other party.
But at this moment, the young man also happened to look back at him.
In the eyes of the stars, indifference flashed.
This look, when even if little Hillman rolled to his mouth, was swallowed again.
Then he saw the handsome young man walk into the shop he had just left with a group of people.
"Let's go!"
Until the group disappeared, little Hillman beckoned the female secretary to prepare to leave.
found that his female secretary was staring in the direction of the disappeared pedestrian, stunned.
Obviously, compared to him, a frail middle-aged man.
The young man with a shapely figure and a handsome appearance just now was undoubtedly more attractive to women.
The most important thing is that the wealth that is visible to the naked eye.
In America is the most tempting poison.
Little Hillman was not annoyed when he saw this, but just mocked loudly, "Don't think about it, people are billionaires." β
The female secretary was seen through her mind, first pretending to be coquettish to maintain the meal ticket, and then deliberately asked, "Honey, do you know him?" β
"I know him, he doesn't know me." Hillman replied.
"Who is he?"
"Hideki Hanyu."
Hillman awkwardly pronounced a name, then explained.
"Didn't you see a white sign shop lined up for hundreds of meters when we came in the morning?"
"That's right, it's called the Elf Show."
"That's his industry, he's the owner of the biggest video game company in the world."
ββ
With bodyguards and a "ball flower" secretary, as well as three subordinates sent from Neon by Asako Hirohashi.
Welcomed by a former Hillman Film employee, Hideki Hanyu stepped into a small company.
There is nothing polite to these ordinary employees.
That's not what he's a big boss should do.
Leave the bodyguard and three subordinates outside.
He took Fred Webb into the general manager's office and naturally sat in the boss's position.
Fred Webber immediately sent Hideki Hanyu details of what Hearman Pictures is doing now.
Hanyu Hideki simply flipped through it, and it was not much different from what he had seen before.
is also in response to his previous words, although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs.
Although there are not many people in Hillman Films, and they are not necessarily very good, they are definitely experienced industry insiders.
With these people as the team, you can start shooting projects at any time with a little expansion.
However, a snake cannot fly without a head, and a bird cannot fly without a head.
Before starting a project, it is necessary to find a leader for them.
Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu looked at Fred Webb.
"I am very satisfied with Mr. Fred's recent work and hope that Mr. Fred will stay in the position of General Manager and manage the new company, I don't know if Mr. Fred would like to."
If it comes to ability, the three people that Asako Hirohashi sent to him from neon.
With the exception of one who is familiar with America's financial system, the other two are not necessarily worse than Fred Webb.
But the problem is, this is America, it's Hollywood.
If you want to gain a foothold here, it is not enough to have empty ability, you must also have enough work experience and be familiar with the rules of the upstream and downstream industries.
"I do." Fred Webb's answer was crisp.
After observing in the past few days, he found that Hideki Hanyu was the kind of boss he liked very much.
Specifically, there are three points.
Less nonsense, happy to give money, no layman directs insider.
"Very well, Mr. Fred's work contract will be discussed with you later, and I need to tell you a few important things."
"Boss, please speak."
Fred Webb has changed his name and is quickly getting into the groove.
"First of all, you need to know that it wasn't me who bought Hillman Pictures, but Neon Cloud Entertainment.
So next, I need your help to change the registered name of this company. β
After Hillman Pictures changed hands, the name really didn't need to be used.
Anyway, Hideki Hanyu didn't have a fancy for this name.
As he spoke, he took out his pen and wrote his name on the document in front of him.
γAbovecloud Picturesγ
The word Pictures means photo, drawing, painting.
However, if it is used as a corporate suffix, it can be translated as "Pictures".
The suffix of companies such as Columbia, Universal, etc., is this.
As for the previous Abovecloud, it is a self-coined word converted from Above the cloud.
It is to remove the middle of the theirs, and then glue the two words "cloud" together at the top.
So, the name can be directly translated as Cloud Pictures.
"Okay." Fred replied.
In addition to the name, as for the logo and the title, you only need to change the picture on the cloud a little.
This has been handed over to Pixar Studios to help.
Anyway, I can't use it for the time being, so I don't rush to take it out.
After talking about the name change, Hideki Hanyu continued to explain.
"Next, Cloud Pictures had to increase its staff, otherwise it would not be able to carry out the next project. But before we do that, we need to find a new office for the company, which is too small. β
Fred asked, "Where does the boss want to switch?" β
Hanyu said, "I'm not familiar with Los Angeles, so you can recommend a place." β
"How's Century City?"
After Fred finished speaking, he saw a puzzled expression on Hideki Hanyu's face.
"Century City was originally an outfit for Twentieth Century Fox, located southwest of Los Angeles, where Twentieth Century Fox began building real estate projects in the fifties.
In the early sixties, Fox had business problems, so it sold the land, and it was developed by the buyer, and the transportation is convenient, the environment is also good, and there are many new office buildings. β
When Fred said this, Hideki Hanyu was somewhat impressed.
In my memory, the headquarters of CAA (Innovative Talent Agency) was here.
"Yes, you can take someone to inspect and help us choose a new office location, don't be too stingy, and think about future business growth."
Fred nodded, "Okay." β
"There is one more thing, that is, after the establishment of the company, our preparations for the 'Working Girl' movie must also begin, and I need you as a producer for this movie."
Hearing Hideki Hanyu's words, Fred immediately entered the role of producer and asked directly, "How much is the production budget boss going to set?" β
"Two million dollars."
As soon as Hideki Hanyu said this, Fred choked on the spot.
is very sincere persuasion, "Boss, the cost of this kind of urban fashion inspirational movie can be controlled within 10 million US dollars." β
In fact, Fred said that it was an exaggeration to say less than 10 million dollars.
In his opinion, this kind of movie that can be made in an office building can definitely be done for five million dollars.
However, Hideki Hanyu specially snatched this script, not to test the waters for a low-budget fashion movie.
The producer wanted to help him save money, which he understands.
But what Hanyu Hideki values is not the profit gain or loss of a movie.
Today, he is not the kind of person who suddenly crossed over, inherited the film company that was about to go bankrupt, and tried to help the company rise.
He came to Hollywood with the support of Cloud Entertainment to do things and help Cloud Pictures make a name for himself in Hollywood.
This "Working Girl" does not reach the height of the previous life even in terms of honor.
But the box office must definitely help cloud entertainment get off to a good start.
Thinking so, Hideki Hanyu said to Fred.
"In terms of actors, I am going to use a newcomer for the female lead, and I am going to invite Harrison Ford for the male lead, and I want to invite Sigourney Weaver for the second female lead."
Hideki Hanyu said that he wanted to use a newcomer as the heroine, and Fred didn't plan to say anything for the time being.
As a full-fledged Hollywood producer, he definitely has to see people before he makes suggestions.
But if Hanyu wants to invite Harrison Ford and Sigourney Weaver, he'll have to remind them.
"Boss, is it necessary for us to invite Harrison Ford and Sigourney Weaver for this kind of urban fashion film? After all, their salaries are not cheap.
And in addition to the salary, in my opinion, Harrison Ford's masterpieces 'Star Wars' and 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'.
Sigourney Weaver's masterpiece 'Alien', 'Ghostbusters'.
The style does not match the workplace fashion inspirational drama "Working Girl". β
Faced with Fred's reminder, Hideki Hanyu explained.
"We are a new company, and the heroine is a newcomer, if you don't find an actor with box office appeal to play, let alone the box office, I'm afraid it's not even easy to find a publisher."
Fred nodded at Hanyu's explanation, "That makes sense, too. β
At this time, Hanyu remembered that Fred said that the two leading actors were not paid cheaply, so he asked, "How much are Harrison Ford and Sigourney Weaver paid now?" β
Fred was a little speechless.
I thought that although what the big boss said made some sense, he decided to invite people without knowing the salary, so he didn't consider the production cost?
In an instant, Fred regretted that he had agreed to be the general manager a little early.
But I've already agreed, so let's try it for now.
After all, in today's Hollywood, there will be no one else who is willing to give him a chance to be the number one.
Going back to Texas to farm is easy.
But he was still a little unwilling in his heart.
"Harrison Ford needs five million dollars for a salary, and as for Sigourney Weaver, three million dollars should be enough."
After Fred finished speaking, Hideki Hanyu showed a surprised expression.
I couldn't help but ask, "Harrison Ford's salary is only five million dollars?" Isn't Stallone already tens of millions of dollars? β
In Hideki Hanyu's impression, Harrison Ford has a lot of movies that hit the scene a few years ago.
It's only five million dollars?
Hanyu Hideki's words made the corners of Fred's mouth twitch.
I thought that the boss deserved to be a billionaire, and five million dollars could be described as long.
But answering the boss's questions is exactly what he does.
So Fred patiently began to explain.
"Boss, although the salaries of male action actors in Hollywood nowadays are very high, such as Stallone you said, such as Schwarzenegger, it is limited to the two of them.
Harrison Ford, on the other hand, does not belong to this kind of traditional action actor, so his salary cannot be on par with them. β
"I see." Hideki Hanyu showed a clear look.
Influenced by the memories of later generations, in his heart, the top Hollywood actors, the salary starts from tens of millions, and the box office share is often added.
Unexpectedly, in the 80s, except for Stallone and the governor, other people's salaries were not as exaggerated as imagined.
"In that case, you are in charge of contacting the actors, and on Harrison Ford's side, I may meet with him in person in person recently, and I can help talk about it when the time comes."
Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu asked again, "Do you have any suggestions for the director of this movie?" β
Fred said, "For this kind of fashion film, it's no problem to find an average director. β
However, Hideki Hanyu remembered the director of the original movie and asked directly, "How about we ask Mike Nichols to direct?" β
Fred was speechless again.
In Fred's mind, Cloud Pictures is a small film company, and urban fashion films like "Working Girl" can be produced at a low cost.
As a result, Hideki Hanyu first wanted to find Harrison Ford and Sigourney Weaver as the starring roles, which basically has nothing to do with low-budget movies.
Now again to invite Mike Nichols.
The director won the Oscar for Best Director in the sixties for "The Graduate" starring Dustin Hoffman.
Two years ago, he won the Oscar nomination for Best Director with the thriller movie "The Silk Wood Incident".
Although his commercial performance is limited, he is definitely a famous director.
Harrison Ford with Sigourney Weaver, in addition to a Mike Nichols.
Where is this low-cost fashion film?
This is simply going for the Oscars.
"Of course Mike Nichols is fine, but the problem is that he needs to be paid at least three million dollars for directing."
Hearing that the director's salary was 3 million, Hanyu Hideki immediately asked, "Is the production budget of 20 million dollars enough?" β
When Fred heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "If you control it carefully, it should be fine." β
With a production budget of 20 million US dollars, the two actors and directors will spend 11 million.
Fortunately, the heroine is ready to use a newcomer, and the movie genre is still an urban fashion film.
Otherwise, Fred would definitely have to ask Hideki Hanyu to increase the production budget.
"Very well, except for these requirements, you are responsible for all the other preparations."
After Hanyu said that, Fred had to give the boss who didn't know anything about Hollywood again.
"Boss, there is one thing I must say in front, the three people you are looking for are all big names, even if they accept the invitation, it will not be easy to adjust their schedules together, and it is impossible to start work in a short time."
Hearing this, Hideki Hanyu smiled and waved his hand.
"Fred, although I don't know Hollywood, I am the owner of Neon's largest film and television company, I still understand this common sense, you don't have to worry about me commanding indiscriminately."
"Thank you boss for your understanding, if there is nothing else, then I will be busy."
Fred said as he got up and gestured to work.
After all, Hideki Hanyu told him a lot of things.
Helping a company change its name is just a trifle.
Expanding with the original team of Hillman Films, and finding a new office location, are tedious tasks.
However, at this time, Hanyu Hideki raised his hand to stop, "Mr. Fred, please wait a moment. β
He said as he looked at Monica Bellucci, "Help me call them in." β
The people Hanyu Hideki asked the female secretary to call were naturally the three people sent to him by Asako Hirohashi.
After the three were called in, Hideki Hanyu introduced the three to Fred.
said that this is a person sent by Neon headquarters to assist him in managing Cloud Pictures.
Fred naturally understood that this was the manpower of the head office in the new company.
This is normal in any business.
As long as the three of them do not affect his work, he will not have any opinions.
After introducing the three of them, Hideki Hanyu said to Fred again.
"Nowadays, the video tape market is emerging, so there are many excellent independent film companies, I believe that many independent film projects are looking for investment, if there is a suitable one, Cloud Pictures does not mind investment, please pay more attention."
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it."
Fred agreed, and with the rise of the videotape market, there were indeed more and more independent film companies these days.
There are also many projects that lack funding.
But most of these projects have little future.
But since Hanyu Hideki wants to invest, he has time to help pick some for the other party to see.
Anyway, for him, a billionaire boss, investing in independent films is not even pocket money.
With that, Fred was ready to quit his job again.
Who would have thought that Hideki Hanyu called him down again.
Hideki Hanyu said, "Fred, since the working girl has started to prepare, we also have to think about the next film project in advance. β
Forehead......
Fred felt like he was speechless today more than he had in the previous year.
The investment in "Working Girl" is 20 million US dollars, and this preparation has not yet begun, and we have to start thinking about the next movie.
This kind of operation is only seen in those big studios.
Small company, which is not to make one first, and then think about the next one.
After all, once the project fails continuously, the huge amount of money cannot be recovered in a short period of time......
Wait a minute!
Fred glanced at his boss.
suddenly realized that whether tens of millions of funds can be withdrawn does not seem to be a problem at all for their own bosses.
The boss's elf entertainment, even if he is thunderous in Hollywood.
Many Hollywood studios rely on game channels to monetize, and they all rely on his boss's game platform.
Millions of consoles are sold a year.
Tens of millions of game cartridges.
It can be calculated by pressing the electronic calculator, and the cash flow is probably even more terrifying than that of the Big Six Hollywood.
With such a boss, Fred felt that his worries were unwarranted.
Thinking of this, Fred immediately asked, "What does the boss think?" β
"I love Rodrigo Thorpe's 'The World Doesn't Change' and I want to make it into an action movie, but the rights to this film adaptation were bought by Twentieth Century Fox in the sixties, and I want you to contact Twentieth Century Fox to buy the rights to the film adaptation of this work."
Hearing Hideki Hanyu's words, Fred looked sad and said to Hideki Hanyu.
"Boss, although I am not familiar with this work, big Hollywood companies generally do not easily sell the film adaptation rights of the work they have bought, and our purchase is likely to be unsuccessful."
"You just said that it is easy not to sell, not absolutely not to sell, I believe they will definitely give a price."
Hanyu Hideki said this, showing a confident smile, "I am a rich man, and I do not hesitate to pay a little expensive price for what I like. β
"Okay......"
Fred fully felt what it means to be rich and capricious.
In this day and age, buying an adaptation right is only hundreds of thousands of dollars.
According to Hideki Hanyu's attitude, I'm not afraid to spend money.
Fred estimated that if Twentieth Century Fox had offered a price of several million dollars, Hanyu might have bought it without blinking.
In fact, Fred guessed correctly, if Twentieth Century Fox was willing to sell it for millions of dollars, Hideki Hanyu would definitely not hesitate to take it.
After all, this is Rodrigo Thorpe's "The World is Impermanent".
After the remake into a movie, the name is "Die Hard".
It was Bruce Willis who starred in the first action movie that won 83 million at the box office in North America and $130 million at the global box office.
The film later went on to make four sequels, totaling over $1.1 billion at the box office.
So don't say millions, as long as Twentieth Century Fox is willing to sell, he is willing to give ten million dollars.
And in Hanyu's view, the odds of Fox being willing to sell are still very high.
Rodrigo Thorpe's "The World is Impermanent" is actually a sequel to another of his "Detectives".
In the sixties, Twentieth Century Fox was ready to adapt "The Detective" into a film.
Considering that if the film adaptation of "The Detective" is successful, the sequel "The World is Impermanent" can be filmed.
So I bought "The Impermanence of the World" as well.
As a result, the "Detective" movie failed.
Naturally, no one mentioned the title of "The Impermanence of the World" anymore, and then it was thrown into the copyright library for more than 20 years.
As for why Twentieth Century Fox will turn this one out again next year.
This has to do with a series of coincidences.
In 1987, Jeb Stewart, the screenwriter of "Die Hard", was originally writing a TV script for Columbia Pictures.
You must know that when creating TV series in America, at the beginning, it was only a beginning, and the follow-up story would be written only when filming started, and the screenwriter would have a follow-up income.
But after Columbia asked for Jeb Stewart's script, he put it on hold for the time being.
Jeb Stewart had no follow-up income, so he went to work for Disney to write scripts.
But in this era, Disney's oppression of screenwriters is very harsh.
Jeb Stewart works more than a dozen hours a day at Disney, but his income can't afford to support his young children and pregnant wife.
Forced by life, Jeb Stewart can only entrust his agent to help introduce jobs and make extra money.
And Jeb Stewart's agent knows Lloyd Levine, who has just left the position of president of Twentieth Century Fox.
At this time, Lloyd Levine was working as a producer in a joint venture with a friend.
Taking advantage of his former position as president of Twentieth Century Fox, he provided screenwriter Jeb Stewart with a series of original books to choose from.
After some selection, the two chose "The Impermanence of the World" and collaborated on a new project with Twentieth Century Fox.
Finally, "Die Hard" was born.
It can be said that without this series of coincidences, "The Impermanence of the World" is probably still lying down and eating ashes at Twentieth Century Fox.
As for the follow-up choice of the starring role, Murdoch personally wrote a check for Bruce Willis for a five-million dollar salary.
Most of them are propaganda, and Hideki Hanyu doesn't need to care about it at all.
After all, now this twentieth century Fox lies down and eats ashes, as long as you get it.
Hideki Hanyu has the full version of the movie in his head, just follow the correct answer.
After Fred Webb started working.
Hideki Hanyu also left.
He is the boss, and the specific work is handed over to his subordinates, and there is no need to do everything himself.
Leaving the company, Hideki Hanyu and the female secretary just got into the car.
The female secretary next to her snuggled up.
This Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn Extended Edition was specially bought by him for the pomp and circumstance of the event in Los Angeles.
A derivative of the Rolls-Royce Silver Thorn, it is not only isolated from the driver's seat, but also has a huge interior space.
The Italian beauty was very happy with the car.
Because in addition to privacy good.
It's easy for her to do whatever she wants.
No, the car has just started, and it has already begun to flatter Hideki Hanyu.
"BOSS, will you go back to the hotel with me next?"
When Hideki Hanyu heard this, he instinctively wanted to refuse.
It's hard to finish the exhibition, and the work in Hollywood doesn't need him to deal with it for the time being.
I plan to go back to the hibiscus garden, engage in creation, and accompany Tianxian Mom.
After all, it is not long before the due date, and the mother needs to be accompanied the most during this period.
But before the words were spoken, Monica Bellucci, who knew how to seduce Hideki Hanyu very well, had already begun to move in her hands.
Not only do it yourself.
He also took the initiative to take Hideki Hanyu's hand.
How can a scumbag like Hideki Hanyu withstand such temptation.
Immediately fell.
"Uh-then go to your hotel first."
"Okay."
The seduction was successful, and Monica Bellucci became more and more proactive.
"Slow down ......"
Hanyu said, as if remembering something, and asked Monica Bellucci.
"I'm going to develop a career in Hollywood, Monica, you are so beautiful, you planned to be a model before, have you ever thought about entering the entertainment industry to make movies?"
When Monica Bellucci heard this, she raised her head temporarily and decisively refused, "Don't." β
Hideki Hanyu asked, "Why?" β
In the future, he will be a "ball flower" in the world film industry, but now he has become a secretary who has been abducted, not to mention, and he has no interest in the entertainment industry at all, he is somewhat curious.
Monica Bellucci replied, "It's so hard to be an actor, and you can't make a lot of money, so it's better to follow the boss." β
When Hideki Hanyu heard this, he thought it made sense.
In this era, there are only two male stars who earn tens of millions.
There are very few female stars who can get high salaries.
Those popular female stars worked hard to make movies for a year, and many of them did not earn as much as the "salary" he gave Monica Bellucci.
Monica Bellucci of later generations.
Because of its popularity on the domestic Internet, many people have misunderstood it.
Her famous work, "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily," grossed only $14 million worldwide.
In the several Hollywood movies she participated in, the box office hits basically had nothing to do with her, and almost all of the heroes hit the streets.
In this case, in Hollywood, which only values commercial value, her coffee position and salary can be imagined.
On the income list of female celebrities, they basically can't see each other's names.
As for the worth.
Just compare the worth of other female stars, in the 2023 Forbes actress value list, Rihanna won the championship with 600 million.
"Ball Flower" is a super singer who doesn't even want to release records compared to this side job.
It's polite to say that it's far less than that.
But now that the other party is following him, maybe his reputation will not be as good as that of future generations.
But the value and status must be much stronger than another time and space.
If the development goes well.
The face of the European logistics giant.
Isn't it as good as an actor who undresses and flirts on the big screen?
"Since you don't want to, forget it, but in the future, I will have more jobs in Los Angeles, and you will need to come back often, and it is not suitable to stay in a hotel after all, and you will have time to choose a house."
As soon as Hideki Hanyu said this, Monica Bellucci, who was working, immediately buried her head deeper.
ββ
Messing around with Ball Flower at the hotel for a long time.
Monica Bellucci was too tired to get up, but Hideki Hanyu still had the energy to go to the Iron Gym to exercise.
As soon as I returned home, I received a call from Eri Kitahara.
"Hanyu-san, I have good news for you."
Hideki Hanyu asked curiously, "What's the good news?" β
Eri Kitahara said, "Nintendo has released its first-quarter earnings report. β
"I guess the stock price must have fallen badly."
Hideki Hanyu looked at the time, the Tokyo Stock Exchange should have just opened.
Although he didn't see the financial report, he didn't know it either, and it would definitely not look good.
After all, the FC host was swallowed by the PS host of Genie Entertainment, and 35% of the market share in Asia was swallowed, and the decline in performance was a sure thing.
"It's down 43 percent from the first quarter of last year, and the stock price is down 17 percent at the opening, and it's not stopping yet."
Hideki Hanyu wasn't surprised when he heard this, "It's just expected." β
"Haha...... But there was another thing that Hanyu-san certainly didn't expect. Eri Kitahara smiled heartily.
"What's the matter?" Hideki Hanyu was suddenly a little curious.
I thought that Nintendo's financial report pulled, in addition to causing the stock price to plummet, did it also cause any other chain reaction.
"In the financial report, Nintendo announced that part of the loss was due to the cooperation with Bandai WS handheld, which indirectly exposed the loss caused by Bandai because of WS handheld."
Hearing Eri Kitahara's answer, Hideki Hanyu thought to himself, no wonder Eiri Kitahara was so happy.
Back then, Bandai made a black hand against Elf Entertainment for the sake of his electronic pet, and it was the period when Eri Kitahara served as the president of Elf Entertainment.
Eiri Kitahara's resignation as president was also because of that incident.
Although he resigned for the sake of acting, Eri Kitahara's heart was unhappy for sure.
Now Eri Kitahara is in charge of the Elf Communication, and the biggest opponent in Neon happens to be Bandai.
Now seeing that Bandai is unlucky, it is natural for her to be unhappy.
"In that case, Bandai's IPO will also be affected."
Hanyu Hideki thought to himself, the Mitsubishi Foundation hoped that Genie Entertainment would not affect Bandai's listing, but it couldn't stand the backstab from his teammates.
Eiri Kitahara said, "This is for sure, Mitsubishi's securities company has announced for the first time that the loss of WS handheld will not affect Bandai's overall business." β
"Hehe......"
Hanyu Hideki sneered and said, "It's just a matter of covering up, Bandai plans to want to go public in May, but now it seems impossible."
Before, I was worried that Bandai would use the money of shareholders to help WS handheld fight with us in a price war after it went public, but now it seems that it is also impossible in a short period of time. β
Eri Kitahara echoed, "Even if it goes public, I'm afraid it won't be able to fight, and Bandai is so engaged by Nintendo, and it's uncertain whether the cooperation between the two sides can continue." β
Eri Kitahara said this, and he sighed inexplicably.
"I don't want to believe in luck, but sometimes I have to, because I find that many times when we are in a crisis, the opponent will have unexpected trouble.
Now it seems that there is a force in the shadows that is helping us. β
