Chrissie stopped moving when he heard this, with a smile on his face, and said proudly: "The new film is very successful. The current global box office is almost 20 million US dollars. Although it has not been taken off the shelves, the upper limit is estimated to be here.
We estimate we can earn around four million."
"Not bad!"
Chu Heng raised his eyebrows slightly. Although the new film made much less money than the The Truman Show he copied, it was a classic after all, and it was incomparable.
And considering the current film and television environment, a profit of four million is quite a lot. It can at least prove that this is a high-quality film.
"By the way, Chu, I have something to tell you. You will definitely be very happy to hear it." Audrey put a piece of baked snails on his plate with a smile: "The Truman World has been shortlisted this year.
It won an Oscar, and several awards.”
"Oh?" Chu Heng suddenly became interested, but he didn't care about the award at all: "I remember that after the film wins the Oscar, it should be re-screened, right? Then if our film wins the award, will it also be re-screened?"
Chrissy was immediately speechless.
Please!
This is the highest honor of the movie!
You don’t care about awards, but you care about re-releases?
He rolled his eyes fiercely, this guy who is obsessed with profit, I really can’t believe that he comes from China and is actually more capitalist than me, a person from a capitalist society!
Audrey looked at Chu Heng with appreciation.
As expected of the man I like, he is so different that he actually regards the Oscar as nothing!
I really like his arrogant confidence!
It’s a love brain attack…
"Yes, if it wins the award, it will definitely be re-screened, and then we can get some more box office share." Chrissy glanced at Chu Heng with a look of disgust.
"That's really good news. We should celebrate." Chu Heng raised his glass happily. He is not a filmmaker. He only invests in Blue Oak Pictures to make money. If possible, he can also provide some cultural output or something. Oscars are not Oscars.
, has anything to do with him?
"Giggle!"
Audrey covered her mouth and chuckled, picked up the wine glass, touched it with him, and took a sip. The scarlet wine made her lips even more charming and sexy.
Chu Heng couldn't help but lick his lips, he really wanted to execute this beauty on the spot right now.
"Recently, the company has two new films to be launched." Audrey met his fiery gaze with a smile and said: "They are all medium-cost. In one of them, the company invested one-third, and the rest are in
Of the investment that Wall Street attracted, another company was more optimistic and invested half of it, and the other half was in partnership with Paramount."
"In other words, I still can't get the share." Chu Heng rolled his eyes.
"Yes, after all, when a company is starting up, it needs funds everywhere. It is estimated that it will be difficult to share in the next two years." Audrey spread her hands and then asked with concern: "Do you need money very much? If so, I can lend you some. I have been working hard recently.
I happened to make some money from an investment, and I was able to take out almost five million."
"No, I just asked, but I still want to thank you, my dear." Chu Heng was quite touched by this. Speaking of which, he and Audrey were just in love, but he didn't expect that the other party would trust him so much.
.
Not only did she want to lend him money, but she also took the initiative.
Sure enough, Hollywood stars are very easy to deceive.
Fortunately he is not a liar, otherwise Audrey would be so deceived that she would not even be able to wear her pants...
Chu Heng looked into Audrey's beautiful eyes passionately, leaned forward and kissed her.
Tsk!
You have to mix it with dog food to eat!
Chrissie knocked on the table silently, interrupting the two of them: "Speaking of Paramount, we have something to ask your opinion on."
Chu Heng, who had not yet had enough kissing, retracted his paw that touched Audrey's snow-white thigh angrily and glared at him: "If you fart, let it go."
"Paramount is very optimistic about our company and agrees with my philosophy, so it has been contacting me recently and wants to conduct an equity swap with Blue Oak." Chrissy raised his chin proudly. After all, being able to be
It is also a great honor for such a giant to be recognized and favored.
??????55.??????
Chu Heng lowered his head to cut the steak and asked while eating: "How much?"
"They are willing to exchange 3% of our equity for 40% of our equity." Audrey interjected at the right time.
Chu Heng didn't know much about Paramount. Hearing this, he asked out of curiosity: "Is it a good deal?"
"It's a good deal." Chrissy explained: "Paramount was founded in 1912 and has a long history and strong strength. Although it has declined somewhat since the 1960s, since the oil company acquired Paramount a few years ago,
After that, it started to improve again under the auspices of Mr. Evans, and there is a faint tendency to return to its peak, so we have made a profit from this replacement."
After saying this, he paused and his tone became more serious: "And you make a lot of money."
"Then what do you mean?" Chu Heng stopped chewing and raised his head to look at Chrissie and Audrey.
"We are still leaning towards this replacement." Audrey wiped the sauce from the corner of his mouth with a napkin: "Paramount is already very powerful, and the oil group behind it is even more capital-rich. With its participation,
It is very helpful to the development of the company.”
"Yes." Chrissy agreed.
"That's it." Chu Heng nodded clearly, pondered for a while, and then said: "Replacement is not impossible, but I don't think it should be now."
"Okay, I will listen to you." Audrey said with a smile, without even asking the reason.
"What do you mean?" Chrissie frowned.
"What a loss." Chu Heng took out the cigar that came in the car from his arms and trimmed it slowly: "Although Blue Oak is new, facts have proven that your idea is correct, Chrissy, and the new wave is inevitable.
It will stand out on its own, so I believe that under your leadership, the next period of time is likely to be a period of rapid development for the company. If we rush to exchange equity now, we will obviously lose money."
"Besides, the company has no bottlenecks or difficulties now, so why should we rush to replace them with others?"
"So I suggest that we run it ourselves first. When the company's development stagnates and Paramount is needed, we will consider replacing it."
"I didn't expect you to think so highly of me." Chrissy almost wanted to cry. It's not easy. It's really not easy to be recognized by such an arrogant guy like Chu Heng!
"Of course, for investors, isn't most investment just about people?" Chu Heng puffed out thick smoke and smiled at him, and the faint scent of tobacco filled the room.
"But..." Unexpectedly, Chrissy became less confident. He said with some worry: "First of all, I have to admit that your idea is right, Chu."
"But movies are too uncertain, and Blue Oak's strength is weak after all. If we mess up one or two movies, it will be all over. If Paramount joins us now, we will
The ability to resist risks will be much greater.”
Chu Heng frowned when he heard this.
At this time, Chrissy's body no longer showed the desperate look he had when he founded Blue Oak Pictures last year.
After all, at that time, when the company was just starting out, there was nothing.
But things are different now. Blue Oak has established a firm foothold and is somewhat famous in the industry, and some celebrities are willing to get under his covers for roles.
So he is a bit reluctant to let go of everything he has now, and he is afraid of wolves before he starts and tigers later.
Ever since.
Chu Heng stood up, stepped in front of him, and rounded his arms to form a big butt.
"Crack!"
"Chrissy, you disappoint me so much! If you are holding on to the idea of being rich now, I think I have to withdraw my shares."
