598 To each his own needs and publicity
The 120 sika deer and 12 tigers that the backbone restaurant needed for two months were sold for 726,000 Hong Kong dollars just by selling them to the backbone restaurant.
If you add the backbone half of the shares owned by Chu Xiangqian, this batch of sika deer and tigers alone can earn 363,000 Hong Kong dollars.
This business is not only stable, but it is basically equivalent to picking up for nothing.
As for the money earned from other dishes in the restaurant, after deducting the salaries of the kitchen team and waiters and other employees, there is basically a dividend of tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars every month.
It can be said that most of the profits of the backbone restaurant rely on sika deer and tigers.
That's why Duan Hongchun's family will take Chu Xiangqian as the father of the gold owner.
Not only can't you have the slightest dissent.
On the contrary, I am worried that two years later, after the end of the three-year supply contract for sika deer and tiger signed before, Chu Xiangqian will not have the backbone to continue to renew the contract.
For Chu Xiangqian, it is naturally more reliable for acquaintances to cooperate.
Chu pulled the car door forward, let Xue Jinglan and Gangsheng get in the car first, and he comforted Feifei, Linda, and Alyssa with a resentful expression, and the three chicks reluctantly got into their cars and went home.
And Ehime simply handed over the car to the bodyguards, got into Fei Fei's car and went back to the Fortune Building together.
Seeing a few cars leave, Chu Xiangqian shook his head with a smile, when he listened to Lao Guo's cross talk in his previous life, when he heard him say 'If you want to have a restless life for the rest of your life, you will marry two daughters-in-law', I still feel that he is just exaggerating because of the need for jokes.
But now that there are so many women in my own right, sometimes I do feel that I am lacking in skills.
Even if there is a woman who can satisfy all her in material and sports, but when there is no shortage of material, everyone will begin to seek spiritual satisfaction.
And companionship is something that Chu Xiangqian can't do fairly.
For this reason, Chu Xiangqian simply didn't even delay entering the island market, and stayed on Hong Kong Island to accompany a few women for two weeks.
I flew to Los Angeles first, and while talking to Margaret who had come over to meet me, I found the wrinkled Huailai ranch who was doing the late stage of a Roman holiday.
Wrinkle Huai thought that the boss was dissatisfied with the film, and it took 8 months from preparation, to shooting, to post-production.
On the Hong Kong Island side, two months of filming for a movie is already considered a serious overtime.
Under normal circumstances, one film can be filmed in a month at most.
It's a pity that Hollywood has developed for more than 40 years after all, and it is very systematic about things, although it is conducive to filming, it also means that various restrictions are indispensable.
To be honest, Wrinkle Huai didn't expect that just a love movie would take so long.
But this matter is wrinkled and aggrieved in my heart, it is really Taylor, this woman is really as difficult as the rumors.
Before joining the crew, there were all kinds of requirements, and after joining the crew, there were all kinds of demons.
In addition, his boss actually asked Taylor to take leave several times, leaving the crew for at least a week each time, and sometimes returning for half a month.
Although Wrinkle Huai didn't know what the boss was looking for Taylor to do, he had heard a lot of times, and he faintly heard that Taylor was going on a trip with a certain ghost.
Needless to say, it must be to help the boss accompany a certain magnate.
So Wrinkles didn't dare to say anything more.
This also made his patience and tolerance for Taylor extremely high, and the box office success of the previously produced "Millie" also greatly increased Wrinkle's status in Universal Studios and Hollywood.
Even if Taylor likes to be a demon, when facing wrinkles, he can't be much more restrained.
As for why Chu Xiangqian asked Taylor for leave, it was really a few ghost guys from Ge Bai on Hong Kong Island, and he was really willing to spend a lot of money, just for a kiss to Fang Ze.
This little favor, Chu Xiangqian naturally intended to help.
However, although this woman is troublesome, there is no need to doubt her acting skills, and she is beautiful enough, and the final effect of the film is indeed excellent.
And Chu Xiangqian doesn't care about the troubles during the filming, he, the boss, only looks at the results.
And because Roman Holiday is a three-way cooperation, although it claims to be an investment of 3 million US dollars, it is actually Decca Records and Magnesium Country Music Company that really pays for it.
If you want to spend this $2 million, you need to do a lot of accounts.
So even though Taylor left the crew from time to time, in fact, after the filming, the $2 million was still not spent.
It can be seen that the dollar in this era is really valuable.
Of course, it is also related to the fact that the crew hired at least one-third of Hong Kong Island behind the scenes.
Although the salaries of the behind-the-scenes workers on Hong Kong Island are close to those in Hollywood, the film workers on Hong Kong Island are not half a star better than Hollywood people in terms of efficiency.
This can save hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Chu Xiangqian first said to Wrinkle Huai that he planned to take advantage of the fact that the Roman holiday had not yet been released, Taylor's fame had not risen again, and the advertising fee was the same as the year before, and he planned to ask her to be the spokesperson of the Bald Eagle watch.
Wrinkle Huai was stunned for a moment, and then he wanted to persuade Chu to think and consider again.
But thinking about the half-finished movies I watched during the post-production period, Wrinkle Huai felt that after the release of this movie, Taylor's fame would most likely skyrocket.
At this time, asking her to shoot an advertisement can be regarded as picking up a leak, so he shook his head and said with a smile, "Boss, Taylor is very difficult, you have to be prepared for the fact that after the movie is released, this woman and her agent will do something." ”
Chu Xiangqian laughed and said that Taylor had a strange temper, it is better to say that in order to ensure their status, these big stars continue to put forward various treatment requirements that surpass other actors.
This kind of thing will be the same whether it is the future of Hollywood or Asia.
It is rumored that Fa Ge, the god of acting, also had various requirements during the filming of movies in the mainland before the filming of the new year, and it was once outrageous to more than 100 benefits, and even the magnesium insurance company felt outrageous.
It can be said that this kind of thing is actually too normal in the entertainment industry.
When you reach a certain level of status, not asking for it will make producers, investors and directors feel that you are easy to handle.
Of course, this is the practice of being afraid of commercial films, if it is a work of art that wins awards, those big names will shoot it out of their own pockets as long as they see the script.
But this is actually related to interests, and if you win the award, your value and status will naturally be higher.
Chu Xiangqian has heard a lot about this kind of thing, and Taylor is counted as a demon, and the real headache is Wrinkle Huai, not him, who is the boss, so he is naturally not angry in his heart.
The two discussed for more than an hour, and after deciding, they called Taylor to ask her to meet and talk.
Taylor was reluctant to do so, but she was catching a Kaiko she met while filming in Rome.
But when I heard that Chu Xiangqian gave her an endorsement fee of 300,000 US dollars a year, and her salary for filming Roman holidays was only 250,000 yuan.
The woman immediately changed her mind again.
plus the three Britons that Chu Xiangqian helped introduce, and helped her get more than 300,000 US dollars.
In the final analysis, although Taylor's fame in Hollywood is great, and she even won Best Actress twice, the movies she made are basically literary films.
Since she is not the queen of the box office, the commercial value has to be greatly reduced.
And don't look at these Hollywood female stars are glamorous, but if they live purely on salary, they can't satisfy their extravagant life.
That's why most Hollywood female stars are so keen to walk between the upper class and the rich.
Accompany a rich person to travel for a week, and you can get $100,000, which may be just a job for Hollywood actresses.
Once you marry into a wealthy family, even if you sign a prenuptial agreement, you can still satisfy your luxurious life.
In case you meet a fool and don't sign an agreement before getting married, then when you get divorced, you can take away 3% of the other party's property.
If the man has a handle in his hand, he will divide 5 into 5 percent.
Chu Xiangqian only waited for 3 days at the ranch before he learned that Taylor had flown back from Europe.
The signing process went smoothly, and when Taylor and her agent saw the specially prepared handmade watches, they not only felt that the watches of this brand were really beautiful, but they also did not have to worry about being like an endorsement food, and they might be thundering at any time.
In recent years, the food safety problem in the magnesium country is actually very serious, all kinds of additives are added to the food, even Chu Xiangqian's pasture, when the cattle and sheep are fat, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are added to the forage.
If you eat too much, it will remain in the bodies of cattle and sheep, and then transfer to humans.
It is no wonder that many people in Europe and the United States have basically never taken medicine, but when they go to the hospital, they will find that the normal dose of anti-inflammatory drugs prescribed by the doctor is actually useless for themselves.
This is when the body develops resistance to anti-inflammatory drugs.
The source is beef and mutton, and there are trace amounts of residual anti-inflammatory drugs.
After eating it for many years, there will naturally be sequelae.
——
After the contract was confirmed by the lawyers of both parties, Taylor happily signed his name on the contract, and Chu Xiangqian also happily paid Taylor 300,000 yuan directly for the endorsement fee.
The reason why the money was given so happily was only because after Chu Qianqian saw the half-finished products of the Roman holiday, he felt that this woman's Princess Anne was no worse than Hepburn's.
When Hepburn filmed Roman Holiday, he was actually in his early 20s, and he was only a little better than a newcomer in the film industry.
So in terms of temperament, it is indeed not as good as Taylor, who has been in Hollywood for more than ten years and has won two Oscars for Best Actress.
As long as Taylor takes the money and waits until the watch is really sold in the island country, even if she and her agent want to make trouble, then Chu Xiangqian can ask the lawyer to inform them that the liquidated damages are 10 times the endorsement fee.
$3 million may not be a big deal for some Hollywood stars, after all, some male stars do have money these days.
But for actresses, 3 million is the salary of at least ten movies, and this is still the salary of a first-line actress.
Taylor would never dare to risk losing his fortune and would have to find himself uncomfortable.
And took Chu Xiangqian's money, and according to the contract, Taylor had to fly to the island country to participate in the event held by Bald Eagle Watch.
——
A few days later, after shooting an advertisement specifically designed for island people, Chu Xiangqian ordered people to place advertisements in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Hawaii.
The reason why these three cities are preferred is that Los Angeles and San Francisco themselves are among the top 10 largest cities in the magnesium country.
Second, these two places are also the preferred cities for island people to settle down after immigrating to the magnesium country.
As for Hawaii, although it is small and four or five thousand kilometers away from the mainland of the country, it was 40% of the population a few decades ago.
It can be said that as long as the Bald Eagle watch is widely known in these three cities, soon the island country will also know that Taylor endorses this watch brand.
However, it will take time for the news to reach the island country, so Chu Xiangqian's energy in the recent period is basically all on the Roman holiday starring Taylor.
Not only did he personally stare at the post-production and editing, but he even personally developed a promotional plan for the film.
Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian is not only a shareholder of Universal, but also the producer of Roman Holiday, and Hollywood is a producer-centric system, so it is easy to get the editing rights of Roman Holiday.
When the later stage is finished, the heads of Universal and Magnesium Music Company and Decca Records are invited to watch the finished film.
The big guy's confidence in this movie exploded all at once.
Chu Xiangqian took the opportunity to suggest that he take Taylor to London to participate in the opening event of the Triple Crown of horse racing.
Naturally, the people at Universal and the other two record labels were okay.
Chu Xiangqian just mentioned it to Margaret, and the chick personally invited Taylor to participate in the opening event.
For Taylor, although she said that she didn't care about the English royal family, like most of the top Hollywood actresses, she was more active and excited than anyone else when the royal family really invited her.
When he arrived at the racecourse in London, he saw that Chu Xiangqian was not only with Margaret, but also with Philips and Elizabeth, talking and laughing, Taylor was surprised and instantly regretted it.
There is no need to guess, an Asian who can enter the most cutting-edge circle of the aristocracy, in addition to being super rich, must be a very powerful boss.
And those Hollywood producers, film company shareholders, or rich people who linger in Hollywood Vanity Fair, no matter how rich they are, are not qualified to enter this kind of circle.
And this kind of rich man says that he is rich and has a lot of net worth, but he is actually quite far from the top rich.
To put it bluntly, really super rich people don't look down on Hollywood, Vanity Fair, at all.
For them, the financial circles of Wall Street, the power circles of the military-industrial complex, are the circles that fit their identity, or are expected to join.
It's a pity that Chu Xiangqian wasn't interested in Taylor from the beginning, this woman's love history is too rich, maybe she will make a movie, fall in love with someone, or even get married once.
Ghost knows when, after this woman follows her, she will put a hat on herself.
As for playing, Chu Xiangqian and even Hollywood actresses, many people have a deep philatelic habit.
The devil knows if it's the one who plays with her, or if Taylor collects stamps in turn.
However, Chu Xiangqian still did not forget the purpose of inviting Taylor over, due to the limitations of media technology in this era, in addition to the effect of advertising on TV stations, the effect of advertisements is actually not as good as that of newspapers.
Once there is big news, not only the newspapers in the magnesium country will report it as quickly as possible in order to sell, but also the newspapers of other countries will most likely follow suit.
So early in the morning, a reporter stared at Taylor, who was dressed up today, and took a photo of her and Margaret.
In this group of photos, the watches worn by the two are naturally indispensable.
At that time, the island country only needs to publicize that Hollywood's top actresses and baby princesses all favor bald eagle watches, not to mention young people in island countries, even South Korea, Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia, maybe there is no need to advertise, and a group of young people will take the initiative to buy this watch.
