In the current Yandu, it is difficult to buy suitable clothes that meet Cang Yaozu's vision. After all, Cang Yaozu's needs are a bit non-mainstream, and Cang Yaozu can think of it, and the only place that can meet his requirements is Xiushui Street.

In the end, Cang Yaozu chose Melissa with hole-filled jeans with a big T-shirt, and a little smoky makeup on her face.

Her secretary team also opened their mouths wide when they saw this image, and they couldn't close it for a long time, it was too subversive, and now Melissa was dressed very outstandingly, like an eighteen-year-old girl, still in a rebellious period. The surprised eyes of her subordinates made Melissa a little shy, but fortunately, she would get used to it for a while, well, she didn't care.

Next, Cang Yaozu began to teach Melissa to sing the chorus part of "Youth", although Melissa's Chinese is already good, but used to sing Chinese songs, the pronunciation is a little weird, but it is not difficult to hear, there is a special taste, very fresh.

In the end, Cang Yaozu also taught her the English version of "Youth", this Melissa learned very quickly, although the English version of the translation is a little perfunctory, but Melissa sings with a feeling. The RAP part is sung by Cang Yaozu, in fact, the characteristics of this song RAP are a little unobvious, but it sounds good when combined.

For the time being, Cang Yaozu and their band will practice these two songs.

ICQ's stock is trending well, rising every day, and the company's market capitalization is also striding towards $3 billion, which makes Cang Yaozu feel a sense of accomplishment. In fact, Cang Yaozu has several listed companies in his hands, such as Shengdi and Marvel, and the market value of these two companies has increased a lot recently.

On the contrary, Universal Pictures and Seagram Liquor Company are not listed, and for the time being, Cang Yaozu has no intention of listing these two companies, and at this stage, Cang Yaozu is indeed not short of money, and he wants to operate and list mainly some Internet companies, which have high market capitalization, fast growth, and are easy to cash out, and when the Internet bubble comes, they can also buy back large amounts of shares.

ARM is preparing to go public, which is actually not supported by Cang Yaozu, after all, it is still far from the peak of ARM, and the market value of the listing cannot soar, the funds raised are very limited, and various business information must be disclosed, which is a bit more than worth the loss. But some other small shareholders have the desire to go public and cash out, so let them toss.

Tottenham Hotspur is a listed company, in English football, Tottenham is the first football club to go public, it can be said to be the first to open the trend, in fact, in the world, Tottenham is also the first club to go public. With Tottenham winning the Premier League, Tottenham's share price has risen sharply, but it is not worth anything, and the market value is only tens of millions of pounds.

Cang Yaozu and Rabeelkan said that Tottenham Hotspur will not sell for $1 billion, which is true, but Tottenham's market value is really not much. Even the club sells all the players for several times the market value. Most clubs do not have considerable profits, so it will be embarrassing as a listed company, and the valuation of the club is also very troublesome, there is no profit, and there are few fixed assets, so the price-earnings ratio is not easy to calculate.

In the future, Manchester United's market value will be as high as $4.2 billion at its peak, which is inseparable from their brilliant record, huge popularity around the world and mature business operations. So, what is the market value of Tottenham, Cang Yaozu really doesn't care, and the club won't sell it anyway.

But ICQ is different, this is the first company that Cang Yaozu operated to go public. In that life, ICQ sold itself to AOL early, and there was no chance of independent listing, Cang Yaozu wanted to prove himself very much, he wanted to use ICQ as the core to build an Internet empire.

To this end, he hired Sherrill as the CEO of ICQ, and he also insisted on his stake to a very low level, of course, it was some offshore fund companies and family trusts that he registered to take over these shares.

This is mainly to hide himself to the greatest extent, firstly, for the sake of not revealing his wealth, and secondly, because instant messaging companies are more sensitive after all, and he still has to dilute the background of foreign capital, so he used Sheryl, who is very well-connected in both political and economic circles, and also reduced his shares to the lowest on the bright side, all because of Cang Yaozu's big scheme.

The summer in Yandu is really hot, and there is little rain, which is actually not suitable for living, otherwise those royal nobles in the past would have to run to the summer resort. Fortunately, there are no sandstorms and haze in this year, and it doesn't matter if the hot spots are hot, isn't there air conditioning, the conditions of Cang Yaozu's Houhai No. 1 Courtyard are really good, air conditioning, swimming pools can play a role, and the sand and big watermelons here in Yandu are also really relieving the heat.

Jennifer and Charlize are about to fall in love with the place, the courtyard is very comfortable and the privacy is very good. The two of them didn't want to leave, but unfortunately, there were still film and television dramas waiting for the two of them to shoot, and Cang Yaozu let them fly back on the Lingxi. However, Melissa is still here, because soon Universal Pictures will have a movie premiere here in Yandu, and Melissa is still holding the position of chairman of Universal Pictures, and when the time comes, Robert Iger and his wife will also fly over.

At the end of July, the Chinese film industry ushered in a major event, that is, Cang Yaozu's legendary cinema is about to open, and the opening film is "Jurassic Park 2 The Lost World", which has been released in North America in May and has achieved a box office of 280 million US dollars. The current global box office has exceeded 600 million US dollars, and Cang Yaozu used ICQ to make a pop-up recommendation for this film, and it seems that the total box office will definitely exceed that lifetime.

The release date of this film in China is set for this Friday night, and at the same time, as the opening film of the legendary cinema chain, of course, there will be a large-scale premiere, film and television stars are invited to come, and the red carpet is up.

Director Spielberg and a group of actors will come to the premiere with Robert Iger on the Lingxi, along with Keanu Reeves, Johnny Depp, Wu Xiupo and Zhang Ziyi.

Originally, there was nothing to do with Johnny Depp, but after he heard Keanu say that he was going to come over on Cang Yaozu's Boeing 777 private jet, he had to come over to meet this big guy. Depp is very fond of private jets, and he has a Gulfstream, but it's not as big as the Lingxi.

The film "Jurassic Park 2" actually started filming before Cang Yaozu acquired Universal Business, with a production cost of more than 73 million US dollars, and Cang Yaozu's goal in China is to guarantee a box office of more than 100 million Chinese coins, sprinting to 150 million, if this number can be realized, it will more than double the 72 million box office in that life.

To this end, media, advertising, websites, QQ pop-ups, Cang Yaozu launched an all-round publicity offensive, this premiere will be a climax of this publicity, Cang Yaozu also specially asked Han Sanye to help let the Yangliu Movie Channel broadcast this premiere live.

It's been more than a year since the start of the broadcast, and it's usually a movie, and the live broadcast of this movie premiere is also a new attempt, well, it's a live broadcast, but of course it's a delayed broadcast, but the delay is not long, only 10 minutes later.

The premiere was held at Legend Cinemas' flagship cinema in Yandu, which is located in Houhai, next to Cang Yaozu's newly built Houhai Theater, which can be used for dramas or cross talk. In Cang Yaozu's planning, it will be built into a cultural and entertainment core area.

The invitation of the guests Cang Yaozu was entrusted to Principal Gu of Yanying, Cang Yaozu knew many stars, but few knew him.

The bar street on this side of Houhai has basically taken shape, all kinds of decorations have almost been completed, and it has started to open one after another in June, and Cang Yaozu's mountainside real estate owns more than 90% of the bar properties here, and only a few did not buy it at that time. Now Houhai can be described as a flow of people at night, not less than the passenger flow of Sanlitun, relatively speaking, the Hutong tour here in Houhai is still very attractive, for this, Cang Yaozu also took a few sets of courtyard houses out, specially used as a scenic spot for Hutong tour.

Cang Yaozu's friends in Yandu's circle also came to cheer, and the group of people who played music also came.

For all the celebrity guests who attended the premiere, Cang Yaozu gave a purchase fee of 50,000 yuan, so as not to have the right clothes for the red carpet, of course, this is a small rhetoric, as for how much they spend on clothes, Cang Yaozu doesn't care, anyway, it's so much if you spend more and spend less. The clothes of male stars are not so particular, they must be able to save money, and actresses will have more trouble.

Zhao Wei, Tang Wei and Kong Wei also came to watch the movie, these three girls have similar names and similar ages, and now they are getting closer and closer. Tang Wei has been admitted to Yanying's acting department and will be enrolled in September, and her classmates include Brother Xun and Huang Bo. A few of them don't need to buy any high-end clothes, after all, they are all students or prospective college students, and they can come with clear soup and little water, this time they really earned it, and it is estimated that Tang Wei can get the tuition in advance.

Zhao Wei rushed over from the crew of "Huanzhu Gege", this TV series has been filming for more than a month, Cang Yaozu's film and television company has invested 60 million in this drama, Aunt Qiong Yao's Wanwan Yiren Communication Co., Ltd. is responsible for the script and some shooting equipment, and Mango Economic Station is dissatisfied with Cang Yaozu's strong insertion, squeezing too much of their share, and quit angrily.

This exit is good, the exit is wonderful, Cang Yaozu is very happy, "Returning the Pearl" is bound to be a big hit, and there are many broadcast platforms. Cang Yaozu is full of confidence in this drama, and the reason why he still invests so much is naturally to improve the quality of the series, and second, Cang Yaozu asked for three consecutive filming in Yiren.

In order to enhance the confidence of Yiren, Cang Yaozu pulled Yandu TV and let them become one of the investors with some personnel and equipment. Cang Yaozu didn't want to change roles in the third part like in his previous life, and ruined a good drama.

Several leading actors of the Huanzhu crew also came over to cheer, the big financier, you must give face, and it is not far away. Cang Yaozu's legendary pictures not only invested in this "Return the Pearl", but also invested in Yiren Communication, Cang Yaozu hoped that Qiong Yao could make the scale of this company a little bigger, so he invested 30 million Huaxia yuan in Yiren Company, occupying 45% of the shares of Yiren Company.

In this way, the atmosphere of the crew of "Returning the Pearl" is more harmonious. Yandu TV also helped coordinate a lot of locations, and the current crew of "Returning the Pearl" is not the shabby appearance of that life, and it can even be said that it is the TV crew with the largest investment and the largest number of episodes in Huaxia.

Cang Yaozu joined these friends on Friday morning, and this side of Houhai can now be said to be Cang Yaozu's territory, his home turf.

Spielberg and Keanu have also arrived, and Chinese and foreign celebrities have a good meal together first, and many people don't know that Houhai has become what it is now.

The opening ceremony of this movie can also take the opportunity to promote a wave of Houhai Bar Street, and it seems that there will be more premieres in the future, so that Houhai's fame will be even louder.

After eating, everyone started to change their clothes, well, the ladies have to put on makeup, and in three hours, the premiere will start to enter, and the time is quite tight.

In the afternoon, Cang Yaozu accompanied Han Sanye to visit the legendary cinema, a luxurious flagship theater.

"How much money have you invested, I feel that there is no higher-grade theater in Huaxia than yours here, and everyone will come to you for movie premieres in the future." ”

"Haha, that must have been a warm welcome. There's not much investment, a thousand thousands, this flagship store is carefully built for events like movie premieres, the largest hall can seat 2000 people, of course, there are also 500 people in the theater, and smaller fan meetings can also be held, but this kind of activity we usually introduce to the theater next to it, and the audio equipment over there is more professional. ”

"You kid not only has money, but also spends money, and the tricks are one after another, and that Mr. Iger is the president of Universal just now?

"Of course, but the shareholding is more complicated, and there is some cover-up, as long as you know it in your heart. In short, we will be our own people after the world, and you will have to take care of your old man. ”

"Amazing, in less than a year, you have even acquired six major Hollywood film and television companies, which is much stronger than our Huaying. I've seen the dinosaur movie you're releasing today, and the special effects are very good, is this the direction of future movies?"

"Yes, special effects for commercial blockbusters are the key, of course, there is a market for feature films without special effects, and special effects are like a beautiful dress, which can always attract more people's attention. With the popularity of TV and DVD players, the number of people watching movies will decrease a lot.

How to attract the audience back, one is to appropriately reduce the ticket price, engage in discount activities, and get out of the strange circle that the fewer the audience, the higher the ticket price, and the higher the ticket price, the fewer the audience. One is to use the better sound and light effects of the theater with these special effects blockbusters to pull the audience back from the small screen. ”

"But all of this requires a lot of money, and the state has no plans to do so for the time being. ”

"Then promote the development of the cinema system, accelerate the introduction of private capital, and at the same time require all cinemas to implement online ticketing, our company can provide relevant software and hardware, when only a telephone line can achieve real-time statistics of the box office, some small means under the table will be much less, which is conducive to the healthy development of the entire industry." ”

"Your legendary cinema chain has implemented online ticketing?"

"Well, it's been implemented, and I'm also trying to set the rules from the beginning to standardize the development of major theaters, and the investment is actually not large. This year, I estimate that there will be a box office champion with 80 million, and it will only cost more than 10 million US dollars in Citigroup, which is a bit low. ”

"Well, it didn't happen in a day or two, and there were many reasons for the box office slump. I will push this matter, Shengda Group also wants to enter the cinema market, and I said hello a few days ago, and it is estimated that they were touched by your legendary cinema chain. You've been making too much noise lately. Is this film going to be the box office champion of the year?"

"Well, the box office champion is not a big problem, as long as the film "Titanic" is put into next year, the champion is proper. ”

"That film is fierce?"

"Fierce, definitely fierce! The global estimate is 2 billion US dollars, and if you are in China, you are ready to rush to the height of 500 million Huaxia coins, and the distribution rights of this film in China are owned by Universal Pictures, so your old man will help more when the time comes?"

"500 million? Isn't it too high? I don't think we can break this box office record in ten years, which is a bit ugly. ”

"Ten years? It will definitely not be used, the Chinese film market must watch our Chinese movies. Why don't we join forces and make a special effects blockbuster for fun?"

"What specific ideas do you have? Tell me about it. ”

"Looking for Lao Mouzi to be the director, I will write the script, and I also have the special effects team, which must be reliable, I will invest another 30 million US dollars and invite Jet Li, Tony Leung, Donnie Yen, Maggie Cheung, Zhang Ziyi and Chen Daoming to star, but I want to say it first, the maximum salary of an actor is 20 million yuan plus 1% of the box office share, and he must die. ”

"You're mainly referring to Jet Li. ”

"Yes, he's too expensive, let's spend the money as much as possible on shooting and special effects, just tell them that we want to create a Chinese special effects blockbuster, and the goal is the box office record, so we can give the box office a share, and they won't lose. We don't give too much remuneration in the early stage, just to spend the money on special effects. The actresses are not tall, mainly the three Xiangjiang actors, who will be replaced if they can't do it. ”

"There are still not enough good actors, and it's hard to find suitable candidates. ”

"Didn't Yan Ying expand her enrollment? I heard that there are three classes in the acting class this year. ”

"Well, yes, aren't you asking them to export talent for you, that's their limit. ”

"Yes, the actor thing, the big waves are sweeping the sand, there must not be many who can really act, if the film and television industry in China wants to develop greatly, it must increase the basic level. ”

"Then let's do it, I'll contact Zhang Yimou, he should be in Yandu, I'll let him come over tonight, by the way, he just set up a film and television company with Zhang Weiping, it seems to be called New Picture. ”

"The new picture is set up, I haven't heard of it yet. Or, can you help me ask them if they need money, if they need resources? ”

"You want to invest in them?"

"Of course, there are only a few directors in Huaxia who can shoot big scenes, and even fewer can make money. ”

"Okay, I'll mention it to Yimou, I'll say that your evaluation of their new picture is that the pattern is too small, and he wants to take you to create a big scene, and he will invest 30 million US dollars in the opening film to him, so that he can make a commercial blockbuster in China. Speaking of commercial blockbusters, I heard that you used Wu Xiupo to play Citigroup's superhero film, will the audience accept it?"

"It should be fine, Iron Man is a second-tier hero, I asked Marvel to republish a new version of the comics of Iron Man and the Avengers, and changed the character setting of Iron Man to half Chinese, and the sales are okay. After all, he is not the only superhero in the Avengers, even if someone doesn't like it, they will be attracted by the stories of other heroes, and then look at it and slowly accept it. For the sake of our people as the leading actors, Huaxia will have to support it vigorously at that time. ”

"That's for sure, I have to give it my full support, I think it's almost time, let's get over, I'm going to speak on stage in a while?"

"Haha, if you want to talk about it, just say a few words, but let's have more dry goods, it's easy for Yangliu to do a live broadcast, we have to make some contributions to the film industry in China and pull the box office. ”

"You're a foreign film, okay. ”

"It's outside, it's outside, this is the first film my company has ever released. ”

"What will you be then?"

"As a guest performer, I went up to perform a show for everyone, sang a song, and thanked everyone for coming to the ceremony. ”

"You just do it, if you don't have a good company leader, go and be a guest performer. ”
