A few days later, on February 28, in the first phase of Huayuan, Depp and Luo Jialiang were playing instruments and singing in the renovated and extremely soundproof karaoke room, when they heard...

This is the door of a professional karaoke room being banged.

The two stopped singing in disappointment. Depp put down his guitar and went to open the door. He saw Chen Jinhong complaining speechlessly, "Someone is looking for you, and it's from Sony."

Depp looked stunned, "Sony?? Yes, Sony bought Columbia? Are they asking me to make a movie again?"

In his slightly disgusted words, Luo Jialiang came up and said, "You guys, please stop being nice. Ah Hong and I want to make a movie, but we haven't had the chance to star in a blockbuster yet."

Depp laughed and said, "Don't worry, I will give you a hand next time I have a chance."

Even before the filming of the second season started, he was trying to form a band with Luo Jialiang. He really likes music. In 1993, with the help of this movie, he won his second Golden Globe Award for Best Actor nomination.

Then he went to form the rock band P with other friends, and then the band Oasis and the Hollywood Vampires. It was not until he married that weird wife from the sea that caused some news to cause an international sensation that his music hobby gradually stopped.

At this stage, his relationship with Luo Jialiang is really good.

The second season has already been aired. Three or four episodes have passed. Whether it is relying on the accumulation of fans in the first season or the strong bombing power, we can only say that the second season has a good start...

There is no way to be more lucky. The ratings calculated by ATV have already swept East and Southeast Asia like that kind of magic drama. It has basically sold out the show in South Korea, Thailand, Xingjiapo, island countries and other places as soon as it is broadcast.

Moreover, the audience groups covered include not only a large number of white people, but also Asians. After all, Luo Jialiang, Chen Jinhong and Xiao Yingying are not transparent.

This is stronger than the original second season when it was aired on A Mei. I can only say that it is too powerful!

After a while, Sony President Sakamoto, who was originally waiting outside the door, was invited in. As soon as Sakamoto came in, he bowed to Depp at a 90-degree angle and said hello, with a very low posture.

Depp was a bit confused, so he could only ask the other party to take a seat in a slightly awkward manner. Sakamoto also quickly got to the point, "Mr. Depp, I am here on behalf of Sony to invite you to join the crew. If, I mean if

, after Mr. Depp joins the group, it will be easier for our island directors and behind-the-scenes producers to learn from the group, and we can pay you an additional US$5 million in additional remuneration in addition to the US$10 million salary."

Depp was confused, "What do you mean?"

Sakamoto's etiquette and attitude are naturally impeccable, "A world-class superstar like you will not be short of bodyguards, agents, assistants, etc. when he joins the crew, right? If we can arrange directors and producers from our island country to serve as these

Role."

"That's an extra $5 million in compensation."

"We just want to help you make a good movie and learn some film and television production processes during the rest."

Depp was a little confused.

Luo Jialiang laughed and complained, "Damn it, aren't you trying to jack up the remuneration? It's said to be extra remuneration, but do you dare to write down these extra items in the contract?"

"Even if Depp agrees in the end, doesn't that mean he signed a contract with a salary of US$15 million?"

Sakamoto stood up again and bowed 90 degrees, "I think as long as Spider-Man continues to be filmed and the trilogy is over, Mr. Depp will definitely be able to earn more than 15 million US dollars."

"And didn't we have a happy cooperation before? Sony also invested US$80 million in the production cost of Spider-Man 1?"

Depp glanced at Sakamoto in a daze, "I need to think about this."

Not only do you think about it, but you also need to communicate and communicate with Zhao Films. At the current stage of the Hong Kong film industry, Zhao Films, 100 Years Pictures, Debao Films, etc., cooperate with many big stars. In fact, the process of making movies is

These film and television companies basically replace and take over the work of the agents and economic teams of the big stars.

The alternative broker team can help you smooth out a lot of things, and their commissions are much cheaper than CAA and the like.

Sakamoto was overjoyed, "Of course, you must consider this carefully. Once you have thought about it, I will come to visit again. This time I hope you will consider this project more."

"Speaking of it, it is also the originating project of Western vampire novels, right? There is a related script called Columbia. It was originally intended to be made into a TV series, but we thought we could try making a movie."

"At this stage, we are still talking with management."

Depp was still a little speechless, "Are you asking me to play Dracula? Am I too young?"

Of course he knows the famous name, one of the originators of the vampire image, and other names like Elizabeth and Van Helsing.

After chatting for a while and seeing Sakamoto off, Depp said in a daze, "Many companies have offered me blade contracts worth US$10 million. I'm used to it. Now I'm about to enter the US$15 million club? This is too fast."

…”

"It feels a little unreal."

Luo Jialiang rolled his eyes and complained, "Didn't you hear that they have additional requirements? But these additional requirements don't seem to be too much. They will give you a team of assistants to serve you for free. They are just stealing their lessons while serving you."

Chen Jinhong asked curiously, "Isn't the stock market crashing in the island country? The real estate crash is terrible? Is there still money to give you a salary of 15 million U.S. dollars and invite you to make a movie? That's a lot of money."

Luo Jialiang was happy, "Just because the stock market and real estate have collapsed, Sony and the others are more eager to open up new sources of revenue, right? There are more than 800 million U.S. dollars in box office worldwide. If you can grasp this kind of money source and know how to play it from beginning to end, you can still

It would be great to be able to handle the global theater chain."

"Anyway, Sony's Walkmans, VCR tapes, cameras, including its cooperation with Nintendo to develop game consoles, etc., are all cash cows. It is normal to spend a lot of money. They spent five to six billion US dollars to buy them.

Dilumbia."

The three of them were discussing when the big brother rang. Depp walked over to answer the call and exchanged a few words before hanging up the phone and saying with a weird look on his face, "Damn it, that guy from the Li family said he found a lover.

I want to see the book of the movie, can you accept it?"

"What should I tell him? I've reached the $15 million threshold?"

He quit with half of the new film contract, and he also knew that the contract stipulated that if he really took on Ju Shao's new film, the salary would rise with the market.

At first, he only received 5 million U.S. dollars and 39 million Hong Kong dollars.

Now contact Ah Ju again??

It has only been ten days, but he told Ah Ju that his salary may have increased to 15 million U.S. dollars? Isn’t it a bit inappropriate?

Luo Jialiang almost burst out laughing, "It's okay, you can just say it. It's the guys from the island country who are driving up the pay."

Ever since Ju Shao was tricked into quitting the Taiping Wheel crew like that, as senior insiders, everyone had a tacit understanding... It was a kind of Wang Yu, Ke Junxiong and others who successfully deceived Ju Shao.

There were no obstacles or setbacks, and Zhao Sheng didn't say anything to stop it. Wouldn't it be possible to understand what should be understood?

Depp clenched his fist and said quickly, "I'd better call ATV for consultation first."

………………

On March 2, and is still being shown all over the world, including in Henan Province in the Mainland.

Today is only the 16th of the first lunar month, and the Lantern Festival has just passed, which means that these two movies have only been released for the 16th day. However, the posters for the new costume action movie starring Jet Li have been gradually released to all parts of East and Southeast Asia.

Isabel Adjani walked in her Adjani Lamps Factory in Zheng City with a high-spirited face. She explained various lamps to Zhao Donghuai with a smile, "Since it was repeatedly deduced and observed by supercomputers, it is possible that this year in East China

There was a flood, and the scale was not small."

"Don't worry, my lamp factory is providing flashlights, miner's lamps, and camping lamps. It is guaranteed to be able to supply to a population of 1 to 20 million people. The range of relevant families, not to mention one lamp for each person, is definitely not difficult for each family."

As for lamps, there are many lamps factories in the Mainland at this stage. The Adjani brand is not a big name in the Mainland. After all, since the factory was established in August last year, it was aimed at the European and American markets and rarely sold in the Mainland.

In the mainland lighting market, when it comes to outdoor and camping aspects, Adjani's lighting factory is truly the most productive and of good quality. Other brands in the mainland are currently focusing on indoors. Mining lamps, flashlights, etc. are also very common, and there are many brands.

However, in terms of battery life, emergency and fast charging, waterproofing and other related performances, Adjani lamps have considerable advantages in terms of technical strength. After all, the factory is built with advanced production lines imported from Europe and the United States.

For more than a year, Adjani lamps have not been very popular except in Hong Kong and France, and they are still impacting the status of a mid-stream brand.

But the markets in Hong Kong, Haowan and France are not small.

For the current Henan Province and Zheng City, Adjani Lighting Factory is also a large taxpayer. It is not the first, but it is definitely first-class.

Zhao Donghuai nodded with emotion, "That's okay, hurry up with production and have it ready at any time. After the tour, let's go to Luola's factory to have a look."

Laura Fanna opened the factory at the same time as Adjani, and the location was also in Zheng City. She mainly thought it was close to Adjani. Her main focus was tents, sleeping bags, portable tables and chairs, moisture-proof mats, and mountaineering bags needed for outdoor camping.

Wait, the situation is similar to that of Adjani. In addition to being a best-seller in Haowan, Hong Kong and Spain, her Rolla brand is also a brand that hits the mid-stream level in the same industry in other parts of Europe and the United States.

Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places have mobilized in all directions to prepare for flood control, and the need for these related items is also extremely huge.

Just say that during the outbreak of the rain disaster, there were 2 million homeless victims stretched out on the Qinhuai River embankment. In terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, what did they not need assistance for?

Medicines, food, etc. have been prepared everywhere. Zhao Donghuai here is doing his best to prepare for war.

Adjani smiled and said, "When the time comes, I will also learn from you and donate all the supplies, right? I plan to live in Hong Kong Island for the rest of my life. Even if I may go to Europe and the United States to make a movie, I will always come back and do some charity.

Is it considered to promote Sino-French friendship?”

Before today, the goods had already been produced and stockpiled, but Zhao Donghuai had not really discussed whether to sell or give them away. When Adjani mentioned it, he nodded, "It's easy to say, it's all a trivial matter."

Supplying lamps for a population of one to two hundred million or even more... It's not a small amount of money, but the money Adjani earns from selling merchandise for one movie can be easily earned over time.

Another thing is that her donation at production price and retail price are not the same thing. He returned to the mainland the day before yesterday to inspect some related factories, such as Afa's umbrellas, raincoats, and Chen Derong's water

Basin bucket...

When a rainstorm really breaks out, millions or tens of millions of people will be homeless and sleep on the embankments. Starting with a bucket or cup, they are all necessary items.

In terms of food, instant noodles can be eaten dry, but it cannot be said that they should be eaten dry all the time. It is still necessary to try to transport some electric pots, or steel cups, pots, etc. needed in the field.

Electric pots are a bit extravagant, but you can still look forward to the briquette-fired iron pots, as briquettes and briquettes are supported by official arrangements.

With the Chinese people's momentum since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Allied Forces of Hard Steel were defeated, and it was not until 1991 that they first asked for international help. This is enough to witness the horror of floods, and no matter how well prepared they are, it is impossible to be too prepared.

While the two were walking and talking, Wang Zuxian and two female secretaries and assistants came from the corner of the corridor in front. He casually greeted Adjani while walking and said, "Boss, Huang Baiming reported a piece of news."

"He said he wanted to co-produce a movie with Aju, starring Depp and Aniston, and he also wanted to hire a new supporting actress, Julia Roberts."

Zhao Donghuai said in astonishment, "Is it such a big deal?"

Xiaoxian smiled and nodded, "Isn't it that Ah Ju can pay the bill? Originally, Ah Juti's book was a love script called "Love Script". He wanted to finish it by himself and have it all invested by the Li family. Or should Director Huang go and talk to Ju Shao?"

After talking about it, I turned to wanting to shoot.”
