After the box office of "Saw" exceeded 10 million in a single day, its popularity began to decline slightly.
Of course, even if it drops further, it will still be one of the top three Hollywood movies in June with a box office of 7 million in a single day.
This is an exciting thing for all Chinese people.
Of course, it is exciting but also a bit regretful.
That is, although this movie is very famous in major movie forums and headlines in major entertainment circles in China, it is still not available in Chinese theaters.
no way……
Who gave this movie its bloody and violent plot?
It is impossible for the relevant authorities to allow this movie to be released in China.
Of course Lu Yuan himself does not feel regretful.
After all, Lu Yuan had already made such preparations before making this movie.
He had not considered the fact that China could release it.
evening.
When Lu Yuan returned to the company after a busy day, he received an email from Irene.
When Lu Yuan opened the email and saw that Michaelis Cinemas' operating income of nearly 20 million US dollars in the past seven days, he immediately felt a sense of surprise.
Twenty million dollars!
1.4 billion RMB!
Although it is not this number after tax is deducted, at least...
Theater chains have already started to make money.
Although he had been prepared to take risks before spending more than one billion to buy the theater chain, he still had some worries in his heart.
after all……
This is an investment of more than one billion!
Even if Lu Yuan hypnotizes himself, he can't hypnotize more than one billion into a piece of paper, right?
After being excited for a few minutes, Lu Yuan tried his best to calm down, and then read a book he just bought next to him.
The name of the book is "The Life of Forrest".
He looked down again.
There is a sentence underneath the calm smile of the photo of the world's richest man, Forrest, on the cover...
"No matter what happens, you must maintain a calm attitude! Even if the whole world falls, you must still watch the last moments of this world calmly!"
Lu Yuan was inexplicably convinced, and at the same time he admired the richest man's calm expression.
During this period of time, Lu Yuan had always hoped that he could maintain that calm state.
Just when he closed the email, Lu Yuan's cell phone rang.
He looked at the caller number and found that it was Da Liu calling.
Da Liu?
What happened to the "remote" platform?
Lu Yuan was confused for a moment, and then pressed the answer button.
In his mind, Da Liu usually doesn't take the initiative to call him.
Could it be...
The funds for "World of Warcraft" are not enough again?
No, the recent revenue bill of "Remote" game is pretty good, right? Although the money currently earned is not much, it shouldn't be a financial difficulty, right?
"Mr. Lu, are you busy?"
"Okay, what's wrong?"
"Mr. Lu, I'm calling you this time for two reasons..."
"What two things?"
"One thing is that the number of daily online members of our "remote" platform has exceeded 500,000!"
"Five million?"
"Yes! Five hundred thousand, the number of online members, not the number of members, has exceeded four million! Our "remote" game platform, according to the traffic ranking of the game platform, our "remote" platform has been able to rank
It’s in the top five!”
"Top five? Not bad! By the way, what's the second thing?"
"The second thing..." Da Liu on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment and seemed a little embarrassed. "Um... boss, you know what kind of person I am, Da Liu. I am not the kind of person who can
It’s definitely not someone who deceives people in the company..."
"..." Lu Yuan immediately fell silent after hearing Da Liu's inexplicable words.
He felt it didn't taste right!
Why is it that the more I listen to Da Liu’s words, the more I feel like Da Liu has made a mistake?
"Boss...Boss, are you still listening?" Da Liu was a little anxious.
"You're listening, Da Liu, tell me..."
"Oh oh oh, um, boss, it's like this. A long time ago, when I opened a company, I met a friend named Liu Chen. I have been in contact with him since we met. Well, there are about five people.
Now, boss, I can assure you that this Liu Chen is an honest person, and at the same time, he has a pretty good mind.
Not bad, but he has encountered some difficulties recently. Because he trusted other people's relationships too easily, he was deceived by his partners and took away nearly 30 million US dollars in assets... Now his company is on the verge of bankruptcy... I can
Use anything I have to ensure that that company is definitely a profitable company... I want to..."
"What are you thinking about?"
"That...Boss, can you...invest in his company? His company is also in Hollywood...Boss, I guarantee this person is really fine..."
"Da Liu..." Lu Yuan shook his head when he heard this: "You also know the current situation of the company...the funds are not that abundant, and the current overall financial situation does not seem to be ideal, so you cannot invest casually.
…What company does your friend work for?”
"My friend... works in a special effects company."
"Special effects?"
"Well... his team has done special effects for several Hollywood movies. Although it is not a blockbuster, the quality is really not bad... I also planned to give him the special effects animation for the opening of our World of Warcraft... But,
I never thought that something like this would happen to him..."
"..." After hearing the word special effects, Lu Yuan fell into silence.
When he thought of the word special effects, he thought of burning money.
Then, he looked up at the sunset on the horizon.
The sun sets gradually.
"Boss... I can assure you that he is really not that kind of liar. I hope you can meet him and give him a chance. He is now in deep trouble..."
"Da Liu..."
"The boss is here..."
"Da Liu, our company is currently laying a huge foundation. It is involved in many industries and is investing in many industries. Although everything looks good now, we cannot invest blindly..." Lu Yuan turned around after watching the sunset.
I seriously said this to Liu on the other end of the phone, "The more we get to this time, the more cautious we must be when investing..."
"Boss, I understand." Liu on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and then he seemed to realize that he was wrong and added: "I'm sorry, boss, I shouldn't act on impulse... I was too impatient..."
"Da Liu, you seem to be very anxious now. Is this person kind to you?"
"Well... I, he lent me the original capital for starting the company. Without his funds, there would be no company for me..." After hesitating for a long time, Liu's voice on the other end of the phone was extremely complex.
"Is that friend of yours in Hollywood?"
"Boss...he's here."
"If he is free now, let him come to me and let's talk."
"ah?"
"I'm free tonight... I may not be free tomorrow night."
"Boss... cough, thank you... I'll thank you on his behalf..."
"Da Liu? Are you crying?" Lu Yuan suddenly laughed.
"Cough, cough...No...Boss, I'm going to work first." The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly stopped.
"..."
Two minutes later, Lu Yuan hung up the phone.
The sun sets in the west.
He looked out the window again.
Then I fell into deep thought.
Special effects company?
etc!
Why do I feel like the money I saw is suddenly going to go out again?
…………………………
American League.
night.
Perez watched as if he had seen a ghost as Thomson came to him and handed in his letter of resignation.
His expression changed instantly!
"Thomson, do you want to resign too?"
"Sorry, Mr. Perez, I want to change my life."
"Going to "remote" too?"
"Ah...Mr. Perez, this..."
"This damn Chinese liar is going to hell. What exactly did he offer you? Tell me, Thomson!" Perez's expression suddenly became distorted.
"There are no conditions, I just want to change my lifestyle." Thomson was startled by Perez's expression, and then subconsciously looked away.
"Thomson! Did we in the American League mistreat you in any way?"
"..." Thomson was silent.
"You know what kind of situation our company will face after you and Andor leave! Do you understand?"
"Mr. Perez, I'm sorry about this." At this time, Thomson looked at Perez calmly.
"What on earth can he give you! Don't tell me, give you freedom!"
"It is indeed freedom. At least, there is no harsh contract or exploitative clauses on his side. At least we are not a money-making machine." Thomson looked at Perez.
If Andorra does not leave, Thomson will not choose to leave.
However, when Andorra decided to leave, Thomson felt that there was no point in staying.
"Thomson, this is Hollywood! You need to know where Hollywood is!"
"I know!"
"..."
Perez wanted to be hysterical and want to yell at Thomson.
But in the end, I couldn't say a word.
Then Perez silently looked at the moon outside the window.
He seemed angry, speechless, and helpless.
He didn't know what was going on in the company, or even what benefits the Chinese man named Lu Yuan had given them...
final……
"Thomson, the company plans to hand over the King Kong project to you. This project will make Andorra a very successful director.
Nature can also make you successful..."
"The success I want is not the success of a puppet. I said, I am a human being, I am not a money-making machine... It has been three years. In these three years, I hope to modify the contract every year, but every time I come to you,
Or find other shareholders, your eyes make me feel chilled." Thomson looked at Perez, "I have been to the Huaxia company over there in "Remote", and no one is ever in a hurry there, and everyone is always exposed.
With a smile..."
"Thomson, I will convene a shareholders' meeting immediately. What are your requirements? As long as they are reasonable, I will definitely satisfy you!"
"Sorry, Mr. Perez, it's too late..."
"..."
Half an hour later, Perez stared blankly in the direction Thomson left for a long time.
The office fell into silence for a while.
Is he wrong?
For the benefit of the company, was he wrong?
No!
wrong!
He is right!
"Go away, go away, all go away!"
"I have a good script, I have the "King Kong" series! I also have a gold medal screenwriting team, and at the same time, the company also has more than ten directors! Even if I find an ordinary director at random, I am confident that I can create another Thomson
And Andorra!”
"right!"
"These two self-righteous people should leave!"
"Lu Yuan! Lu Yuan! Damn Chinese, you will go to hell eventually!"
