Chapter 235: Dinner
Liu Yifei is not the kind of girl who will obediently stay in the hotel and wait for her boyfriend to come back.
Zhang Yuanjun went out with the front foot, and Liu Yifei went out with the back foot.
Don't worry about the paparazzi following the photo, the assistant was left in the country by her mother, no one cares, and there are countless top department stores and luxury specialty stores in Beverly Hills.
The little rich woman Liu Yifei is not hi at this time, when is she hi!
She took Zhang Yuanjun's assistant out of the street together: "You can't help him in a meeting, go shopping with me." ”
The two were shopping and eating in Hollywood, and Liu Yifei not only bought things for herself, but also bought them for Zhang Yuanjun and Xiao Zhao.
On the company's side, Zhang Yuanjun received the visiting Wayne Levine, chief strategy officer of Lionsgate.
One has investment intentions, the other is willing to accept investment, Lionsgate is an old factory, and Zhang Yuanjun and Eddie are not newcomers who don't understand anything.
Such negotiations are very negotiable.
Lionsgate is not necessarily optimistic about Zhang Yuanjun's studio, but is a little interested in an emerging studio, and symbolically invests some money to see if it can incubate the company, and it is not Lionsgate's own money - this round of investment is led by Lionsgate's foundation.
And the angel round is not so much an investment company as an investment in people.
Lionsgate voted for Zhang Yuanjun.
They think that an Oriental who can conceive a story like "Buried Alive" is worth paying attention to.
"Not to mention that you're so young." Wayne Levine laughed, "While the other lads were still stuffing their resumes with studios to meet, you had already started your own company in Hollywood and made a profitable film." ”
In the space of an afternoon, the two sides agreed, with Lionsgate investing $7 million in Z Studio to expand the company's scale and business, and in turn, Lionsgate received a 22.4% stake in Z Studio, becoming the largest shareholder other than Zhang Yuanjun.
It is meaningless for angels to talk about equity distribution, and Zhang Yuanjun doesn't mind dividing it like this.
At the end of the negotiations, Wayne Levine and Zhang Yuanjun shook hands: "I hope we have a happy cooperation." ”
"Of course, you'll be glad you're making the investment for Lionsgate today."
Wayne Levine declined Zhang Yuanjun's invitation: "Eddie told me that you brought your girlfriend with you, you should share this good news with her, and I won't bother you." ”
But Zhang Yuanjun wanted to share the news with his girlfriend, but his girlfriend and assistant both went crazy: "You wait for me for a while, and we'll be back soon." ”
It took half an hour for the two to return to the hotel.
"How much did you buy?" The two of them mentioned that there were ten shopping bags.
"That's just part of it, and the rest of the merchants will deliver to the hotel later." The two of them left the bag still on the bed.
"This was bought for my mom."
"This is for Xiao Shu."
"Now, here's the tie I bought for you."
"The shoes are very comfortable."
Liu Yifei counted the same and was very satisfied with today's shopping trip.
"Didn't you say invite me to dinner?" Zhang Yuanjun took two bottles of water for the two of them.
"I'll rest for a while." Then together with Xiao Zhao, he described to Zhang Yuanjun what he got from today's shopping.
I went to the Kodak Theater, where the Oscars were held, went to the Avenue of Stars to count the stars, and went to the Chinese Theater to see it.
"No, haven't you seen all of this before?"
"Look at it again, don't you come to Hollywood to see this." Liu Yifei rested well, "Let's go, let's eat." ”
Assistant Xiao Zhao consciously avoided it, but said: "There are also domestic paparazzi abroad, you should be careful." ”
The two of them went out and took a walk to the restaurant they had booked.
Along the way, Liu Yifei was still chattering about her harvest in the afternoon, and it seemed that she was really happy.
Zhang Yuanjun asked her: "Are you happy to go shopping and play regardless of the reporter's candid photography, or are you happy to come out with me?" ”
Liu Yifei smiled: "Don't be stinky and beautiful, I must be happy because I can come out to play, you don't matter." ”
"I don't care, then I'll go back, and I'll eat the same at the hotel restaurant."
"You dare! I've got my seat booked! Liu Yifei said.
"Didn't you say I wasn't important?"
"Important, important, you are the most important, go quickly, there are no two steps, just ahead." Liu Yifei took Zhang Yuanjun's arm.
It seems that Liu Yifei really put her heart into it, and the restaurant she booked is the famous Hollywood Musso &Frank - Chaplin's favorite.
Opened in 1919, it is almost a century-old store.
Liu Yifei did not book a private room, and the two dined in the hall.
Zhang Yuanjun thought that the two of them would eat a steak tonight and drink some red wine to make the atmosphere.
Unexpectedly, Liu Yifei arranged a complete set of Western meals.
It's very ceremonial.
Wake up with a bottle of fine red wine, starting with the caviar on the starter, then the soup, then the side dishes, then the main course and salad, and finally the dessert and coffee.
"I can't accept what you're doing." Zhang Yuanjun always felt that Liu Yifei had other plans.
"Please eat, what are you panicking about."
"If I knew you were doing this, I would have changed into a tuxedo and came out." Zhang Yuanjun said.
The two chatted during the meal, and Zhang Yuanjun told Liu Yifei about today's affairs in the company.
"I watched that alien movie very well, it depends on how much Peter Jackson is willing to pay."
"I'm going to urge Summit Entertainment to settle the bill for me, and if I don't settle the bill for "Buried Alive", I will use my own money to advance to the company."
"How much can you earn from Buried Alive?" Liu Yifei asked him.
"One or twenty million should have. The box office earnings are all trivial, and the disc market and media on-demand in the back make money, and I don't have to share this income with Summit Entertainment. ”
"Can you take the lion's head?"
"No, it's still the distributor who controls the channel to get more, I calculated an account in advance, and the discs and media on-demand of "Buried Alive" can also share me millions a year."
Liu Yifei smiled: "I accidentally found such a rich one." ”
"What do you think?" Zhang Yuanjun took Liu Yifei's cup and poured her another glass of wine, "I have to work hard to make money and save my wife's capital." ”
Liu Yifei took a bite of him: "I'm only 20 years old, you just want this." ”
"Isn't it legal age too? My female classmate who didn't get into college in high school is now a mother. ”
"Don't say it so nicely, you just want to bully me."
"You see, I haven't said anything yet, but you think in that direction, and it seems that your mind is not pure. Also, the young man is so energetic, how many girls want to get me, cheap you. ”
"You're shameless." Liu Yifei scolded with a smile.
At 9 o'clock in the evening, the two finished dinner and returned to the hotel arm in arm.
Liu Yifei is a drunkard, just drink some wine, Zhang Yuanjun sent her back to the room, and before he could speak, Liu Yifei said, "You sit first, I'll take a bath." ”
Zhang Yuanjun's chest thumped twice.
The flush on Liu Yifei's face didn't know if it was because of alcohol or shyness.
Xiao Zhao seemed to know that something was happening tonight, so he didn't call Zhang Yuanjun all night.
However, she still went to the door of Zhang Yuanjun's room to look, and there was no light in the crack of the door.
Looks like we're not coming back tonight. (End of chapter)
