Chapter 1894 Mr. Chu is very disappointed
Chrissy stopped moving when he heard this, with a smile on his face, and said proudly: "The new film is very successful. The global box office is currently almost 20 million US dollars. Although it is still It has not been taken off the shelves, but the upper limit is probably right here. It is expected that We can earn about four million.”
“Not bad!”
Chu Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, even though the new film was comparable to the one he copied. It makes a lot less money, but after all, it is a classic of a generation, which is 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 is a finalist 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 a person from a capitalist society like me!
Audrey looked at Chu Heng with appreciation.
As expected of the man I like, he is so different, and he actually regards the Oscar as nothing!
I really like his arrogant self-confidence!
This is a love brain attack...
"Yes, if we win 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. Yes, Oscar or not, does it have anything to do with him?
“Giggle!”
Audrey covered her mouth and chuckled, picked up the wine glass, touched it with him, and took a shallow sip. The scarlet wine made her lips even more red. Charming and sexy.
Chu Heng couldn't help but lick his lips, he really wanted to execute this beauty on the spot right now.
"The company has two new films to be launched recently." Audrey met his fiery gaze with a smile and said: "They are all medium-cost, and the company invested one-third of one of them. The rest were investments from Wall Street. Another company was more optimistic and invested half of it, and the other half was in cooperation with Paramount. "
"In other words, I still can't get the share. Okay." Chu Heng rolled his eyes.
"Yes, after all, when a company starts, 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 Let me lend you some. I happened to make some money from an investment recently. Can I Take out almost five million."
"No, I just asked, but I still want to thank you, dear." Chu Heng was quite moved by this, and he told Audrey. It was just a flirtation, but he didn't expect the other party to trust him so much.
Not only did she want to lend him money, but she also took the initiative.
As expected, Hollywood stars are easy to deceive.
It’s a good thing that he is not a liar, otherwise Audrey would be so deceived that she wouldn’t even be able to put on her pants...
Chu Heng looked into Audrey’s beautiful eyes passionately and leaned forward. Kissed.
Tsk!
You have to mix it with dog food to eat!
Chrissy silently knocked on the table, interrupting the two of them: "Speaking of Paramount, we have something to ask your opinion on."
Not enough kisses yet Chu Heng angrily retracted the paw that touched Audrey's snow-white thigh 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 said proudly Chin, after all, it is a great honor to be recognized and favored by such a behemoth.
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 interrupted at the right time.
Chu Heng didn’t know much about Paramount. Hearing this, he asked curiously: “Is it a good deal?”
“It’s a good deal.” Chrissy explained: “Paramount was founded in In 1912, it 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, it has grown in popularity in Avon. Under the auspices of Mr. Si, things have begun to improve again, and there is a faint tendency to return to the peak period, so we have made a profit from this replacement."
After saying this, he paused and said in a more serious tone: "And. It's a lot of money."
"What do you mean?" Chu Heng stopped chewing and looked up 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 will be of great help to the company's development."
"Yes," Chrissy agreed.
"That's right." 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?" Chrissy 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."
< br>"And the public There are no bottlenecks or difficulties in the company now, so why rush to replace it with others?”
“So I suggest that we run it ourselves first. When will the company’s development stagnate and Paramount is needed? I was thinking about replacement."
"I didn't expect you to think so highly of me." Chrissy almost wanted to cry. It's not easy. It's not easy to be recognized by such an arrogant guy like Chu Heng. Got it!
"Of course, for investors, isn't most investment just about people?" Chu Heng blew out the 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 not The certainty is too great, and Blue Oak’s strength is weak after all. If we screw up one or two movies at any time, it will be all over. If Paramount joins now, our ability to resist risks will be even worse. Much bigger.”
Chu Heng frowned upon hearing 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, when the company was just starting out, there was nothing.
But things are different now. Blue Oak has established a firm foothold and is well-known in the industry, and some stars are willing to get under his covers for roles.
So he is a little reluctant to give up everything he has now, and he is afraid of wolves before and tigers later.
Ever since.
Chu Heng stood up, stepped in front of him, and rounded his arms to form a big butt.
“Pa!”
"Chrissy, you disappoint me so much! If you are holding on to the idea of being a rich man now, I think I have to withdraw my shares."
Master Chu is very disappointed!
The consequences are serious!
