After receiving the news of the award from Masahiro Soga.

Hideki Hanyu continues his leisurely life with the mother.

The numbers on the calendar have unconsciously flipped to the fifth of May.

First Monday in May.

In the morning, Michael Katz brought him good news.

The 'Pokémon Fight' card pack was out of stock three days after it was released, and it was restocked to complete the new week's sale.

Perhaps because players have accumulated too much enthusiasm for opening cards in the space of a few days, 'Pokémon Fight' has once again ushered in explosive sales.

During the seven-day sales cycle, a total of 1.64 million units were sold.

Compared with the first three days, the sales of the body have declined significantly.

However, within a week, the sales volume of the card pack successfully exceeded 10 million, reaching 10.01 million.

The former has sales of more than $47 million, which seems like a lot, but Michael Katz doesn't care at all.

Because of the 10.01 million card packs, a full 200 million sales have been created.

Add to that the sales generated in the first three days of the launch.

With Pokémon Fight alone, Genie Entertainment has generated more than $424 million in sales for Pokémon Entertainment in just 10 days.

Whether it's the just-announced upgrade to the PS console, or the two improvements to the Pokeball handheld, or the EGP arcade platform.

Together, neither the mech nor the game was a match for 'Pokémon Fight' during these ten days.

It can only be said that the players of 'Pokémon Fight', Krypton can't stop.

Hideki Hanyu could clearly feel that the nature of the game of 'Pokémon Fight' changed when the rules of Krypton gacha appeared.

Michael Katz, who had been thinking about making money from the 'Pokémon Fight' mech, saw that the sales profit of the card pack was ten times that of the mech.

At this time, I can't wait to give the machine directly to the player for free, so that all the young America people can have a 'Pokémon Fight' each.

In fact, not only Michael Katz, but even those retailers are desperately trying to discount and promote the body.

In this regard, Hideki Hanyu advised Michael Katz not to be in a hurry, and the promotion must be done of course, but it must also take into account the feelings of consumers who have purchased the body before.

It can be used for activities, but it must not be given away for nothing.

If you make the 'Pokémon Fight' unit feel too cheap, it will also affect the sales of the pack.

A good social system and a mature secondary market require a complete ecological cycle.

Fortunately, although Michael Katz was very excited, he had not lost his judgment and was naturally able to listen to Hideki Hanyu's advice.

But although Hanyu Hideki persuaded Michael Katz to calm down, when he hung up the phone, he himself was actually a little excited.

In ten days, the gross profit exceeded 200 million US dollars.

It's hard not to be excited.

Seeing that Hideki Hanyu ended the call, there was an irrepressible joy on his face.

Liu Xiaoli and her cousin couldn't help but come up and ask, "Is there any good news?" ”

Hideki Hanyu didn't go into details, but said, "The sales of one of the company's products are not bad." ”

When it comes to business, Hideki Hanyu has always disliked communicating with his lover.

After all, in his opinion, few of these women have a talent for business.

Liu Xiaoli saw a little taste and didn't continue to ask.

However, the sister-in-law was curious and wanted to break the casserole and ask to the end.

But before the words could be spoken, the phone in the living room rang again.

Recently, Hideki Hanyu has been working in the Hibiscus Garden, but he has been working on a lot of phone calls every day.

It looks quite busy, and I can't spare a moment.

The two women also understood how the good life that men gave them came about.

And just when the women were making up for the drama of Hanyu Hideki working hard and making money to support their families.

Hideki Hanyu had already picked up the phone, and it was Fred calling.

In the past few days, Fred has negotiated a deal with America Aluminum for the office building in Century City.

Now the name of the office building has been officially changed to Cloud Pictures Building.

Cloud Pictures has also officially moved from Sunset Avenue to Century City.

"Fred, call me today, what's the matter?"

"In the office area of Century City, two women came in the morning to talk about film investment, the two people mentioned by the boss earlier, and one of them, Catherine Bigelow, said that you promised to meet her."

"I agreed, you tell them to wait, I'll go to Century City now."

"Okay."

Hideki Hanyu hung up the phone, told Liu Xiaoli that he was going out, and then drove towards Century City.

It should be mentioned here that just yesterday, the four Mercedes-Benz G-Class he ordered from Neon have been officially delivered after the modification is completed.

Los Angeles was just one of them, and the three were shipped to Silicon Valley, Hong Kong, and the mainland.

When the new car arrived, he naturally wanted to experience it.

So I decided to drive out today.

The big G is galloping all the way, and the white body is very suitable for the weather in Los Angeles.

Soon came to the office building of Century City Cloud Pictures.

As soon as he got off the bus, Hideki Hanyu saw a large crane and workers cooperating to install the company's name and logo on the top of the office building.

than perfunctory on Sunset Boulevard.

When he arrived at the new building, it became clear that Fred was paying more attention.

Walking into the office building, the first floor is also under construction.

In order to separate the New Century Brokerage Company, which originally rented part of the space on the first floor, and let them enter and exit through another door.

Cloud Pictures is limited in scale, and when it moves in, it only occupies the remainder of the first floor, as well as the second or third floors.

Therefore, the New Century Brokerage Company, which originally rented part of the space on the first floor, Fred did not plan to drive away.

As for most of the remaining floors, according to Fred, in addition to reserving them for cloud films, they also plan to rent them out for the time being.

After all, being empty is also a waste.

Fred's office was on the third floor, and when Hideki Hanyu arrived, he saw that there were three other people sitting in the office besides Fred.

The most familiar is, of course, Jenny Wright, who has had a "pleasant" experience.

There is also a tall woman, who should be Catherine Bigelow.

But in addition to these two people, Bill Hart, the manager of the New Century Agency I met a few days ago, is also here.

Fred saw that Hanyu Hideki had arrived, and hurriedly explained, "Boss, the conference room hasn't been renovated yet, so I can only talk about it here for the time being." ”

"It's okay."

Hanyu said uncaringly that he wasn't the kind of person who paid attention to form.

"Ms. Kathryn Bigelow, this is the chairman of Cloud Entertainment, Mr. Hideki Hanyu......"

Fred gave a brief introduction to several people.

Today's Kathryn Bigelow, who can only be regarded as a nobody in Hollywood, is still very polite to powerful figures like Hideki Hanyu.

After getting to know each other, we know why she came to Catherine Bigelow.

Immediately took the initiative to send her shooting plan, investment budget, and movie script.

Before reading the script, Hideki Hanyu had no intention of expressing his opinion.

Even if the other party is a big director in Hollywood in the future.

Taking over a thick stack of documents, Hideki Hanyu flipped through them.

I didn't look at the previous plans, investment or something.

He started with the most important script.

Not surprisingly, looking at the name, it is indeed the other party's debut feature film, "Night of the Blood Corpse".

How to say it, although this movie was touted by many people in later generations as one of the top 100 thriller horror movies.

However, in the eyes of Hanyu Hideki at this time, the script is summed up in four points.

The plot is bloody, the main line is chaotic, the content is boring, and the plot drags on.

Although it is not a completely bad movie, it is definitely not excellent.

However, considering the screenplay of this film, Catherine Bigelow did not write it alone.

Hanyu Hideki guessed that some changes were made during the filming, and the finished film was better than the script?

But no matter how the shooting was, Hideki Hanyu still brought up some of the questions he saw.

Investing in future directors and blindly giving money to cooperate will not necessarily be recognized by these people.

Instead, as an investor, you have to show your own unique opinion.

Demonstrate talent that can bring growth to the director.

Let the director feel that accepting your investment will not only reap money, but also harvest growth, so that he can be recognized by the other party.

After all, directors are very conceited and egoistic.

Appropriate strength can suppress the "problems" of these people.

In the face of Hideki Hanyu's opinions, Catherine Bigelow had a full exchange, some listened humbly, and some debated different views with Hideki Hanyu.

But overall, it's all about creation, and the atmosphere is still very good.

Hideki Hanyu and Kathryn Bigelow began to exchange ideas about the script.

Others can only wait quietly.

However, the minds of the few people waiting are completely different.

Fred was busy with his own work and didn't have time to think about anything else.

Jenny Wright has "communicated" with Hideki Hanyu, and at this time, she can get the coveted heroine position just by waiting for the investment to be successful.

At this time, seeing that Hideki Hanyu was willing to discuss with Kathryn Bigelow, she felt that the possibility of success of the investment was still very high.

So I felt a lot more relaxed.

As for Bill Hart, this guy is entirely because of Jenny Wright, and after knowing the identity of Hideki Hanyu, he followed with a dead face.

After all, the headquarters of Cloud Pictures moved to the same building as them.

Although Americans don't know the saying "the moon comes first", the truth is clear.

If you don't know how to hug your thighs so close, then Bill Hart has been in Hollywood for nothing for decades.

It's just that at this time, when Bill Hart's eyes inadvertently swept over Jenny Wright beside him, his mood was inexplicably complicated.

He was sure that his client must have hitched a ride on Hideki Hanyu.

Otherwise, how can a small actor help Catherine Bigelow and Cloud Pictures match.

As for how the other party did it?

There's no need to guess at all, what else can there be besides men and women?

The famous "red sofa" rule is already a characteristic culture in Hollywood.

The female stars of the golden age, in order to get the roles they want, also had to pack themselves up and send them to the producers.

In the era of big studios, female stars were simply playthings in the hands of those investors.

Although with the introduction of anti-monopoly management and the end of the era of big studio dominance, the living environment of Hollywood female stars has been much better.

There will be no one who blatantly uses force on female stars.

The kind of thing that allows female celebrities to maintain their virgin design, and allows female celebrities to have abortions, will basically not appear.

But the problem is that Hollywood, the Vanity Fair resource, is limited.

But the beautiful girls who came to Hollywood with the dream of becoming famous and wanted to become famous are "unlimited".

Hollywood is a typical place where opportunities outweigh strength.

In order to compete for that limited opportunity.

Those in the upper echelons often don't have to do anything, and there are countless young people who are willing to give.

Thinking of this, Bill Hart glanced at Jenny Wright beside him and secretly sneered in his heart.

The girl was still inexperienced, and after getting the promise of the big guys, she was too anxious.

These days, he did not hesitate to turn down some work, and he had to contact Kathryn Bigelow, and then he was keenly aware of it.

After some questioning, the other party even admitted it.

Do you have nothing to fear?

What a naïve girl.

Do you really think that if you are next to Hideki Hanyu, you will be able to ignore the brokerage company?

Now that it is certain that Hideki Hanyu is willing to eat this set.

Then you Jenny Wright can hook up, but my Bill Hart can't.

What New Century Brokerage lacks is opportunities, but there is no shortage of young and beautiful girls.

Before he came up, he was already letting his subordinates make arrangements.

How can Jenny Wright's strength alone be comparable to that of an entire agency.

The other party worked hard to help Kathryn Bigelow get on the cloud studio.

It remains to be seen who will benefit more in the end.

And just when Bill Hart was secretly plotting.

Hanyu's discussion with Kathryn Bigelow is also coming to an end.

Hideki Hanyu is not a professional director though.

But he has a vision that transcends time.

Besides, as the boss of cloud entertainment, he still has the ability to combine memory and reality in his brain after all these years.

Therefore, under his suggestion, the original movie of vampire stories and dog-blood love stewed in one pot has been shaped more maturely.

Hunting, conspiracing, and by the way, bringing out the grievances and entanglements set behind it.

Faintly modified in the direction of the legend of the night.

Of course, the story is completely different.

And under the impact of new elements, the original bloody love has been invisibly diluted a lot.

Kathryn Bigelow said she would communicate with the writers about the changes.

In fact, before she came, she had already learned through Jenny Wright that Hideki Hanyu was a well-known writer herself.

Out of appreciation for the artist.

In addition, when we discussed it just now, I was impressed by the outstanding talent shown by Hideki Hanyu.

At this time, Catherine Bigelow looked at Hideki Hanyu's gaze, and there was a faint sense of approval.

Luckily, Hideki Hanyu and truck drivers have different aesthetics.

Not interested in this "stout" type of beauty.

Otherwise, if he wants to, he will invite the other person for a drink.

It was absolutely no problem to roll the sheets at the hotel at night.

However, there is no interest in this aspect, but cooperation is still possible.

Although the script still needs to be revised, the project cooperation can already be decided.

According to Kathryn Bigelow, the film will not have a production budget of more than a million dollars until it is adjusted.

But after discussing with Hideki Hanyu, the budget will definitely go up a bit, and as for how much, we will need to wait for the new script to come out.

As for judging the budget, Hanyu Hideki is not good at it, and leaves it to Fred directly.

Anyway, this movie Fred must be named as a producer.

Next, the two sides signed a preliminary cooperation agreement on the movie "Blood Corpse Night".

Then, Hideki Hanyu sent Catherine Bigelow, who was in a hurry to go back to revise the script, to the outside of the office.

Before leaving, Catherine Bigelow said to Hideki Hanyu.

"Mr. Hanyu, I will do a good job of revising the script as soon as possible, because with such a talented investor as you, I can't wait to start working with Cloud Pictures."

"Miss Catherine is too polite."

"This is not a polite matter, and some of the suggestions that Mr. Hanyu just made still inspire me to this day."

"That can only be said that Miss Catherine is talented in her own right, and I just opened the door to inspiration for you."

"Mr. Hanyu is such a gentle man, I don't know if I have time at night, I know there is a good bar, how about a drink together?"

When Hideki Hanyu heard this, he thought to himself that I am not interested in you, but you, a thirty-five-year-old mature woman, want to eat tender grass.

"I've already made an appointment for the evening, I'm sorry."

In the face of Hanyu Hideki's refusal, Kathryn Bigelow didn't mind.

Of course, it's good to have a dewy relationship with a talented handsome Oriental guy.

But people don't want to, and she can't force it.

However, hearing Hideki Hanyu say that there was an appointment in the evening, Kathryn Bigelow couldn't help but look at Jenny Wright next to her.

The other party can help her connect with Cloud Pictures through Hideki Hanyu.

The relationship between the two is certainly not simple.

Maybe this is the one Hanyu Hideki made an appointment with at night.

Kathryn Bigelow can also guess that the reason why the other party helped her was because she liked the heroine in the script.

She and Jenny Wright had known each other before, and had shown each other the script.

The heroine handed over to the other party without any problems.

But well......

After a discussion with Hideki Hanyu, the story of the heroine in the script will be largely revised.

The appearance scene has also been weakened a lot.

I guess when Jenny Wright gets the new script, she will definitely be disappointed.

After Kathryn Bigelow left.

Jenny Wright saw that the cooperation between Cloud Pictures and the female director had been finalized, and she wanted Hideki Hanyu to also set her as the heroine.

But because Fred and Bill Hart were there, there were some things that were hard to say.

So I can only look at Hideki Hanyu with eager eyes.

Hideki Hanyu is naturally not a person who puts on his pants and doesn't admit it.

But just as he was about to talk to Fred about it, Bill Hart next to him came up.

Hanyu Hideki originally thought that this guy came to help Jenny Wright sign the contract as Jenny Wright's agent.

But who would have thought that as soon as this guy opened his mouth, he started to sell it.

"Mr. Hanyu, since Cloud Pictures has decided to cooperate with director Catherine, it must need suitable actors, and the new era agency has many excellent actors who can fully meet the needs of Cloud Pictures."

Hideki Hanyu glanced a little strangely between Bill Hart and Jenny Wright.

Although he didn't know what was going on, he had no interest in mixing in this kind of fight of small people.

Therefore, he directly ignored Bill Hart.

Instead, he said to Fred, "The next step is to work with director Catherine." ”

"Okay, boss." Fred readily agreed.

As a workaholic, Fred was never afraid to work.

Previously, he worked for other companies as well as at Los Angeles Television.

is too dedicated to work and ignores some other issues, so he has been a producer for so many years, but he has never been able to get ahead.

On the contrary, once something happens to the company, he is the one who is the first to be swept away.

But now it's with Hideki Hanyu.

Although it has not been for a long time, it has been discovered that this is a very suitable boss for him.

I don't mind his "straight nature" at all.

In Cloud Pictures, he only needs to work wholeheartedly, and he doesn't need to think about other things.

Although the headquarters has placed people in Cloud Pictures.

But it gave him full trust and rarely interfered with his work.

In this kind of situation where he can exert his ability with all his strength, he is not afraid of having a job at all, but he is afraid that there will not be enough work.

After Hanyu and Fred finished speaking, they continued to ask, "Isn't it fruitless with Fox?" ”

That day, after learning that Fox was willing to sell the original adaptation rights of "Die Hard", Hanyu Hideki immediately arranged for someone to negotiate a deal.

Who would have thought that so many days have passed, and there is no result.

Seeing this, Fred glanced at Jenny Wright and Bill Hart next to him, and did not speak immediately.

Hideki Hanyu pointed to the office and said, "Go to the office and say." ”

After speaking, he looked at Jenny Wright next to him, this beauty had been looking at him with expectant eyes, how could he not know.

"Jenny come along, too."

As soon as Hideki Hanyu said this, Jenny Wright's face immediately showed joy.

As for Bill Hart, who was ignored next to him, he was not discouraged.

Instead, he looked at Jenny Wright, who left with Hideki Hanyu, with some surprise.

He suddenly realized.

Jenny Wright and the big boss of Cloud Pictures don't seem to be as fragile as they imagined.

Seemingly...... I also have to maintain a good relationship with Jenny Wright for a short time.

When Bill Hart's mind was racing.

The three of Hanyu have returned to the office.

Hanyu Hideki sat casually on the sofa, and Jenny Wright didn't care about Fred's presence, and sat down close to Hanyu Hideki.

That intimate look.

As if worried that Fred didn't know that she had a leg with Hideki Hanyu.

Fred turned a blind eye to this.

But if you mix in Hollywood, no one will take the relationship between men and women seriously.

Even in Fred's opinion, Hideki Hanyu, the young boss, is a little too restrained.

Don't say anything else.

Just the same Bill Hart who flattered Hideki Hanyu just now.

As long as Hideki Hanyu is willing, the other party can immediately organize a naked party surrounded by beautiful women for Hideki Hanyu.

It is guaranteed that they are all beauties no worse than this Jenny Wright.

As for Hanyu Hideki, the scumbag will not take a woman's careful thinking to heart.

At this time, he only cares about the original work of "Die Hard".

Directly asked Fred, "What's wrong with Fox?" ”

Fred shook his head, "It's not Fox that's wrong, it's writer Rodrigo Thorpe." ”

"What's wrong?" Hideki Hanyu was curious.

Rodrigo Thorpe: Of course he knows.

The original book of "Die Hard" was shelved by Fox for two decades, but that was because the previous "Detective" film failed.

Thorpe is still well-known in Hollywood as a family and screenwriter, otherwise Fox would not have bought the other party's copyright back then.

"When Rodrigo Thorpe sold it to Fox, he signed a special clause that if Fox resold the original book, he had to get his consent."

"So, doesn't Rodrigo Thorpe agree?"

"It was because of the agreement that there was a problem, we don't know the content of the copyright contract they signed back then, but it must have involved the transfer of shares, and the two sides did not negotiate because of the money, after all, Rodrigo Thorpe is definitely not willing to share only a little bit of the seven million dollars."

After listening to the reason, Hideki Hanyu was speechless.

It's really moving.

He asked, "When will Fox get Rodrigo Thorpe?" ”

"It should be soon, we have signed a contract with Fox, and now it's just Rodrigo Thorpe nodding."

Fred said another thing, "Rodrigo Thorpe also contacted us and said that if we want to adapt, we want him to be the screenwriter. ”

Hideki Hanyu understands Rodrigo Thorpe's request.

For a movie like "Die Hard", the shooting must be a big production.

As long as you can work as a screenwriter, the salary starts at least $100,000.

Thinking of his previous life, Rodrigo Thorpe did also serve as the screenwriter of "Die Hard".

He nodded in agreement, "Yes, but he won't be the only screenwriter, and I'm going to invite other screenwriters." ”

As for who he wants to invite, it is, of course, Jeb Stewart, the screenwriter of the original "Die Hard" and still writing the script for the TV series for Columbia at this time

"Okay."

Regarding the fact that Hideki Hanyu wanted to invite other screenwriters, Fred felt normal.

In Hollywood's big-budget movies, there is often more than one screenwriter, and there are even more screenwriters who can't be signed.

Hideki Hanyu said, "Presumably if we agreed to this condition, he will definitely loosen his mouth faster." ”

"Of course," Fred said. ”

After all, if Rodrigo Thorpe wants to make money as a follow-up screenwriter, he must first complete the transaction of the adaptation rights of the original book.

Otherwise, if he continues to let the original work eat dust in Fox's copyright library, he won't be able to earn a dime.

Hearing Hideki Hanyu communicating about the copyright transaction of the original book in front of her, Jenny Wright couldn't help but listen curiously.

New movies represent new opportunities.

And when you hear it, it's a big production, much better than Catherine Bigelow's million-dollar mini-production.

The heroine of this kind of movie is definitely worth her vigorous efforts to strive for.

Moments later, when Hideki Hanyu finished talking to Fred about "Die Hard".

This is the fulfillment of the promise made to Jenny Wright.

"In a film directed by Catherine, the heroine is given to Miss Jenny."

When Fred heard this, he said to Jenny Wright in a calm tone, "Miss Jenny, you can ask the agent to negotiate the contract with us." ”

"Okay."

Jenny Wright's tone was hard to hide her excitement.

Although Hideki Hanyu discussed with Fred about a big production, she wanted it more.

But that kind of illusory thing, how can it compare to the benefits of real hands.

This is her first actress in Hollywood.

——

Half an hour later.

A new age brokerage company.

Inside Bill Hart's office.

Jenny Wright sat across from Bill Hart.

"Mr. Bill, I wonder what you called me for all of a sudden?"

Jenny Wright has just returned to the agency and is going to take her agent to Cloud Pictures to negotiate a contract.

Who would have thought that Bill Hart called her in.

Jenny Wright's tone is not good.

After all, Bill Hart followed her today and ran to Cloud Pictures with a dead face.

This made her very unhappy.

If she hadn't changed her brokerage company now, it would have delayed her signing a contract with Cloud Pictures.

She will definitely not continue to stay at the New Age Agency.

After all, after hugging the towering tree of Hanyu Hideki, she no longer relies so much on the new era brokerage company.

Faced with Jenny Wright's unhappy tone, Bill Hart was not angry.

Instead, he asked with a smile, "I wonder if Miss Jenny and Mr. Hanyu have a date tonight?" ”

"That doesn't seem to be Mr. Bill's concern."

Jenny Wright said unceremoniously.

"Looks like so."

Bill Hart said with a smile.

Jenny Wright was so tender that she couldn't hide her thoughts in her eyes.

When he spoke, he could see the slightest hint of smugness clearly.

"You ......"

Jenny Wright was so angry that she wanted to get angry.

But before Jenny Wright could finish speaking, Bill Hart shoved a stack of papers in front of her.

And interrupted, "Miss Jenny, don't be in a hurry, let's take a look at this first." ”

"What is this?" Jenny Wright asked.

Bill Hart replied unhurriedly, "The script for the new film 'Sand Boy' directed by Richard Tugel," ”

Jenny Wright didn't move the script, but stared at Bill Hart with blue eyes and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

"The New Age Agency has an event in West Hollywood today, and if you can bring Mr. Hanyu to it, the heroine of this movie is yours."

Jenny Wright's heart fluttered when she heard the heroine in Bill Hart's mouth.

But I still couldn't help but say.

"You know, there's no way I'm going to fool a big guy like that."

"You don't have to lie to him, as for how to get him to agree, that's your business, Miss Jenny, you're a beauty, you'll always have a way, won't you?"

Look at the script in front of you.

Listen to Bill Hart's demonic whispers.

Jenny Wright bit her lip unconsciously.

Something happened, it's late, sorry

(End of chapter)
