"Did you just come back from Ronald's place?" Cindy Crawford was in the apartment and saw Christy Turlington, her roommate, sneaking in in the morning with a look of joy on her face. She couldn't help but ask her girlfriend.
The other party wore large round diamond earrings on her ears, and the reflected light made her feel dazzling, "Is this given to you by Ronald?"
"You're not going with me, Ronald makes me feel good." Turlington smiled and touched Crawford's waist.
"You also know that I want Richard to establish an exclusive relationship with me now. I don't want him to find a reason to dump me at this time." Cindy Crawford said that it was the handsome Hollywood boy Richard.
If Gere can successfully become his real girlfriend, it will be a huge improvement for Crawford's personal career.
Ronald is a good playmate and generous, but it is impossible to establish this kind of relationship with him. With the opportunity to finalize Richard Gere, Crawford is also very satisfied, as well as the roommate in front of him. If there is a way,
Just want them all.
"Let me see your new earrings." Crawford put his arms around Turlington and exhaled, his warm breath hitting the earlobes of his roommate and good friend.
"Ah..." Turlington was provoked by Ronald, and the feeling that had not completely subsided turned into a blush on his face again.
…
"A sneeze, a sneeze..."
Ronald, who was being talked about by two models who were rapidly rising in the fashion industry, sneezed twice.
He got on a business jet and returned to Los Angeles.
Tsui Hark and Corey Yuen from Hong Kong shot "Twin Swords of the Dragon and Phoenix". The filming has been completed. The two came to Los Angeles with the film to prepare the heroine Rover Luo and the hero Qiu Yunbo.
The final scenes were shot in the United States.
Subsequent editing and distribution will all be carried out in Hollywood. Ronald also needs to see the effect of the rough cut to decide how much investment to make in the future for the video release film produced by Xiangjiang.
Of course, before that, Ronald still had to do a good job in opening a securities account. It involved an investment of more than 20 million and legal tax avoidance of millions, which was his top priority as soon as he got off the plane.
"I found a stock broker from Charles Schwab. Their VIP department manager was waiting at the airport. This is the largest securities company in the West. They are particularly good at providing special services to VIP customers and can provide 24-hour quotation services. It is suitable for you.
Requirements for large amounts and multiple rounds of small batch purchases.”
Following him was his personal accountant Lawrence. Ronald did not want many people to know about his huge wealth. Lawrence had served him for so many years and had never leaked it to a third person.
"Very good, let's sign the agreement first." Ronald liked this efficient style very much.
"Mr. Li, I am your movie fan." The VIP manager of Charles Schwab was very careful in serving the big customers who fell from the sky. He explained to him thoughtfully that his company had dedicated personnel and a 24-hour hotline. As soon as he received the call
Ronald's phone call can give you a quote for the global market.
Their branches in Tokyo and Hong Kong have also been established and run, and all stocks can be bought and sold. "After opening an account, how do you want to invest? If you need it, I can provide you with daily stock analysis from our analysis department.
.”
"It's not that troublesome. This time, if you spend more than 20 million yuan, you can buy me a Coca-Cola. I'll talk about the rest later."
"You all buy Coca-Cola?" The manager was surprised, but then he came to his senses. Anyway, these Hollywood stars had heard a lot of unreliable expert advice to buy stocks from their so-called friends.
"This is a good investment philosophy," the manager complimented. "The current stock price of Coca-Cola has dropped by 25% compared to the highest point before the stock market crash. It is exactly the bottom of the mid-band. It is a good practice for building a position."
"My client, I hope you will slowly buy Coca-Cola's stock each time on the principle of not causing price fluctuations." Lawrence stepped forward and explained Ronald's request.
"I can see that you are a wise investor. We will buy Coca-Cola shares strictly in accordance with your requirements." The manager knew that this was a testing moment for new customers and quickly agreed.
…
"Fox has talked to Cameron Crowe. They are very satisfied with the story and casting, and decided to invest $6 million, plus a reserve of two million, and signed a distribution agreement." Come to pick up Ronald.
It's Daydream's Michel Cannold, who is now producing.
"Very well, write a letter to producer Polly and say she's sorry her plans have to be redone..." Ronald's sense of humor struck and he made a joke to Polly Platt.
"Tsui Hark, and Corey Yeun will come back from San Francisco tomorrow, and I've arranged for you to watch the rough cut with them in the afternoon."
…
Each task was reported to Ronald efficiently, and the number of documents requiring his decision or signature was quickly reduced.
"What else do you want?" Finally, Ronald saw Cannold who was hesitant to speak.
"Do you remember Harvey, the boss of the Miramax production company we met in Cannes?"
"Of course, is there something wrong with him?" Ronald asked.
"Our 'Sid Sisters' will participate in the Sundance Film Festival early next year. But I heard that Harvey's lawsuit will also have strong new films participating in the festival. Should we invest some public relations budget and have a try with him..."
"You can approve a small budget, but there is no need to invest too much. Spend money according to Oscar standards." Ronald thought for a moment. Sundance is just an exhibition venue for some independent films. There is no need to fight with that thick-necked guy here.
The Jews wasted money.
After finishing the daydream, agent Niceta came to the door again, "Someone is saying hello through many connections and wants you to do a favor."
"Who? What's the deal?"
"Linda and Harry Thomason, they are producers in the television industry. They have been jumping up and down in Hollywood these two days, looking for people, and finally entrusted it to me, asking me to ask for your help."
The couple that Niceta is talking about are the so-called producers of the TV series. They are the owners of a TV series. They decide the characters and plot settings. If the pilot is unsuccessful, these people will bear the cost.
.
This couple was friends of the governor of Arkansas who made a fool of himself on TV and was laughed at by everyone. Faced with the prospect of their friend's political future being ruined, they were extremely anxious and eager to rape NBC's most famous night talk show host.
Nick Carson's show to reverse the impact.
They went to see Ronald because he was in a hurry and sought medical attention. Because Johnny Carson is super influential as a host who tens of millions of people watch him tell jokes every night. And he himself is on the public television station NBC,
Considering maximizing one's own interests, it is inconvenient for people to openly support any political party.
This is also something that Johnny Carson is quite proud of in his decades of experience. No politician has ever appeared on his show. This way he can remain neutral and make the donkey and elephant viewers who like him happy.
Selling his sweaters and suits.
"How can I help? I'm not familiar with people in the TV industry."
"You are familiar with Johnny Carson's most outstanding disciple, David Letterman. In addition, some Jews in the circle know that you have a good relationship with Helen's father Gerald." Niceta told them about what they were looking for.
Ronald's reasons, hoping he could exert some influence and convince Johnny Carson.
However, this matter consumes the favor that others owe to Ronald. Niceta also proposed it, and it is up to Ronald to decide what to do.
"I don't have the ability to do this. If he wants to be on Letterman's show, I can still help..."
Although he did not agree to help, Ronald still had a high regard for the handsome governor of Arkansas. In Hollywood and the television industry, you follow the celebrities. If you lose power, everyone will leave you.
In the political world, snobbishness is even more serious. Even the very charismatic current commander-in-chief has no one to go to him now, except for a few people who want to ask the commander-in-chief for amnesty.
Under such circumstances, someone was actually willing to help the stumbled governor, which shows that this person's conduct and charisma are indeed very high.
…
"Tsui Hark, Corey, you have worked hard." The next afternoon, Ronald met two directors from Hong Kong in the screening room. Today Ronald spent 1.5 million US dollars to commission their film "Dragon and Phoenix Swords"
"A rough cut version is ready.
"Luo Sheng... Luo Sheng..." Two people from Xiangjiang were already waiting there. They actually used the budget given by Ronald to shoot another movie. This time they met the real owner, and they were a little uneasy.
.
"Shall we start?" Ronald ordered, and the title of "Dragon and Phoenix Swords" began to appear on the screen. This movie is played by two Americans. The male protagonist is Chinese-American Qiu Yunbo, and the female protagonist is very beautiful.
Rover Lowe, a rare white action actor.
Luofu Luo played a Hollywood star who went to Xiangjiang to learn Wing Chun with the grandmother of the male protagonist played by Qiu Yunbo. As a result, he was inexplicably involved in a gang dispute during the filming of a Xiangjiang movie. In the end, the two returned to Hollywood and someone invested in their business.
The movie was a success.
This movie is a typical B-level movie. Many of the plots have no logic, but the fighting is very interesting. Although Rover is white, the karate-style fighting, with the cooperation of the dragon and tiger martial arts masters, is actually very exciting.
"This is not bad. It will be shown in Chinatown theaters in New York and Los Angeles. It will be screened for a long time in the Rubik's Cube Cinema that I acquired. Then I will take advantage of the situation and release the video... This fighting style is better than our boxing style fighting, one punch after another.
This kind is much better-looking, and Hollywood audiences rarely see this kind of thing..."
Ronald was very satisfied with the finished product and praised the two Hong Kong filmmakers.
"Hahaha", Tsui Hark, and Corey Yuen also laughed together, doesn't this open up the market?
"How many first-run theaters are we going to have?" asked Corey Yuen, who is directing the first movie officially released in Hollywood.
"About fifty or sixty..." Ronald calculated.
"Ah?" Corey Yuen's disappointment was palpable. How could such a huge market be so similar to the one released in Xiangjiang?
"Well, if it starts well, we can add more in the later stages," Ronald said with a smile. "America is very picky about foreign movies. Your kung fu movies should also slowly cultivate the audience. At this stage, there are fewer.
Well, but you don’t have to worry about dividends. The sales of the video tape will definitely satisfy you. If the box office of the movie is decent, we will also try to promote it in Europe and Japan. Then everyone will have red envelopes, hahaha..."
"Hey..." Now Corey Yuen heard the money and became excited again.
"Ha, oh... the witch will leave." At this moment, a scene appeared on the originally dark screen. Qiu Yunbo put on ancient costume, pointed the sword in his hand at the opponent, and then flew over in the air.
"I came just in time, I'm about to kill you..." Rovero also put on a gorgeous ancient costume, clumsily held a sword in his arms, and flew into the air towards the opponent.
boom!
The two swords crossed each other in the air, and then separated. Then the two men turned around and flew into the air to fight swords together again.
"Hey...?", Ronald was surprised. This movie is an urban action movie, so why does it have ancient costume fighting? Moreover, the filming is quite good-looking, and it has some artistic conception from the Hu Jinquan movie that Ang Lee lent him a few days ago.
.
Tsui Hark hurriedly said, "This is some extra film from the shooting. We asked the two protagonists to experiment with new uses of the steel wire produced by your company. This steel wire is very reliable and can produce high-and-high effects."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Corey Yuen was so embarrassed that he didn’t expect Tsui Hark to do this trick. Originally, it was planned that this "Dragon and Phoenix" directed by himself would focus on Hollywood.
The costumed modern time travel fantasy film "The Two Heroes" was directed by Tsui Hark and focused on the Hong Kong market.
It seems that Tsui Hark also wants his movie to be bought by Ronald and supplied in America so that he can leave his name in the Hollywood Directors Guild. If this is the case, what will Ronald think and will he think that the two of them
One is a liar.
"The shooting was very good. Have you brought the rough cut? I'll take a look at the rough cut of the whole film. If it's good, I'll buy it together. I didn't expect that I gave you the budget of one movie, and you could make two movies in one, and the quality was good.
They are all great, I am very satisfied.”
Tsui Hark was overjoyed. It seemed that Ronald didn't care about this set of photos or what a big deal it was. He didn't think it was an offense to him.
What they didn’t know was that Roger Corman often did this at New World Pictures, where Ronald made his debut. He had a famous film called House of Horrors, which was filmed in one weekend, relying on the set-up AIP
Money and scenery provided by the distribution company.
Roger Corman asked Jack Nicholson to write the screenplay and star in a role. This is one of Corman's most successful movies. AIP also bought it and distributed it. Not to mention the box office was good, and in recent years, some people still want to
Adapt him into a Broadway play.
The success of this kind of set-up shooting is a sign of entrepreneurial spirit. Ronald thought it was great and would like to purchase more from them in the future.
Ronald waved his hand, shook hands with the two, and congratulated them. Especially Tsui Hark, the movie had an air of ecstasy that no one in Hollywood would shoot. Lovelo is a Los Angeles policewoman who went to
Catch criminals in Xiangjiang (Qiu Yunbo).
Unexpectedly, after being caught, the bad guy played by Qiu Yunbo smiled ghostly, and the two disappeared in a burst of smoke. When they appeared, it was already the Ming Dynasty. It turned out that the two were detectives and criminals in the Ming Dynasty.
On the way to the capital, Luofu Luo understood that Qiu Yunbo was not a bad person, but a loyal minister who was entrusted by the minister Xu Guangqi to purchase the Hongyi cannon from the Fo Langji people to deal with the Jurchens. He was framed by the eunuch, saying that he wanted to use
Hongyi Cannon rebelled, only to be wronged by the Hunjun and beaten as an imperial prisoner. The two admired each other and eventually became lovers.
However, the eunuch Wei Gonggong was highly skilled in martial arts and personally led Dongchang to capture the rebellious Luofuluo. Unfortunately, Luofuluo died in order to save Qiu Yunbo. However, Qiu Yunbo was framed by the eunuch and beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market. Unexpectedly, Qiu Yunbo was beheaded by outsiders when he was beheading.
The mysterious power of the stars was brought to modern times. After discovering Rovero, it was like awakening her memory, and the two of them renewed their relationship.
In fact, of the two movies, Ronald prefers Tsui Hark's "Two Heroes". If there are audiences in America who like it, maybe it will create a new genre.
"What Luo Sheng promised was that urban action film, and the contract was signed in this way." Corey was very dissatisfied. This was to compete with him for the opportunity to be released in America.
The two directors had differences over two films, and both wanted Ronald to buy and distribute them. There was a conflict over which film to buy and which one to not buy.
"I just want Luo Sheng to watch it. It would be good to release the video tape." Tsui Hark seized the opportunity. Ronald just watched his own movie clip and seemed to like it.
"Don't grab it. It's not like you can only buy one movie if you die. I want them all. I will also buy this movie and let Mr. Cannold, who is daydreaming, negotiate a price for you and arrange a release time.
.”
Anyway, we don’t have much money, so if Ronald buys them all, it’s like investing in one more movie, which is a big deal.
