Chapter 714 Masami Nagasawa
Currently "Transformers" has not been released yet.
When it is released, Universal Pictures' revenue in 2004 will definitely exceed US$6 billion.
"How is the theater situation going now?" Xu Liang then asked.
Before Hongmeng acquired Universal Pictures, Universal and Viacom jointly operated a theater company called ‘UCI United International Pictures’.
This company has 104 theaters and 868 screens in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Australia, Spain, Japan, Italy, Portugal, Argentina, Brazil, Panama and other countries and regions, making it the 13th largest theater chain company in the world.
After Hongmeng acquired Universal, it spent US$330 million to acquire 50% of the equity held by Viacom and changed its name to 'Global International Cinema'.
“BOSS, in accordance with your request, we have sold some theaters in non-city centers and opened 23 new multiplex theaters in shopping malls, urban complexes and other densely populated commercial areas.< br>
Currently, Universal Cinema has a total of 132 theaters and 1,245 screens.
In terms of equipment renovation, we have invested US$38 million to add a 3D giant screen auditorium to all theaters. br>
We plan to increase the number of giant screens in each Universal theater to three in three to five years. ”
But total revenue fell by 4.3% year-on-year.
“Let’s poach people. RCA will not pay too much attention to a young singer who has just signed a contract. ”
Xu Liang, who almost said it smoothly, quickly changed his mind.
So, Universal’s development is still within his expectations.
This old-school film is the only super movie in the world with a box office of close to 3 billion U.S. dollars, and he covets it very much.
"BOSS, these are Universal Music Group's reports for three consecutive quarters."
Lucian was a little nervous because Universal Music's revenue dropped again.
Income from traditional record sales and brokerage business accounted for 83.4%, and copyright income accounted for 670 million euros.
“She was signed by RCA last year.”
Those long legs are so exciting to look at.
"American Guangbo Records is a company under the world music giant 'Bestaman'. It was founded in 1901 and is headquartered in New York.
Xu Liang nodded and said: "Next There will be more and more 3D giant-screen movies. The sooner we transform them, the sooner we can make profits. ”
Xu Liang flipped through it briefly and put the report aside.
Trying to ask if he would accept the investment?
Thinking of this, he felt quite regretful.
But with the success of "Titanic", even though Twentieth Century Fox was sore from burning money and burning money, it still gritted its teeth and refused to let go.
I chatted with Ron Meyer until noon, and ended the conversation after explaining that he was coordinating the promotion work of "Iron Man" with Marvel.
“Have all the people I asked you to sign a contract signed?”
With the rapid development of digital music with the support of MP3 hardware, the record sales business of traditional music companies continues to decline.
There was a pause.
“Don’t be afraid of being small, just cultivate it yourself. Where is Taylor Swift?”
It is normal for the traditional music market to fall, and it will continue to fall in the future.
As one of the three major audiophile brands in the budding era of stereo, the ‘LivingStereo’ series has a huge audience around the world. "
"Adele Atkins and Rihanna have already signed, but Justin Bieber is only 10 years old. Is he too young? ”
"Once the contract is signed, there will be only four of the world's five largest music giants left." Xu Liangdao.
After having lunch together, Ron Meyer left.
“Okay.”
It was Universal Music’s CEO Lucian Grainge’s turn to report to him.
Unfortunately, even though it has not started filming, it has already been acquired by 20th Century Fox.
"Yes. I heard that the contract will be signed soon."
Online copyright revenue was 130 million euros, a year-on-year increase of 36.5%.
But online music is also developing rapidly.
He didn’t know many European and American singers, and Swifty was the one who impressed him the most.
"RCA?"
Xu Liang nodded slightly, "Is Bestaman now discussing a merger with Sony?"
This is the third consecutive year of decline for Universal Music since 2002.
Currently, Universal Music’s total revenue for the third consecutive quarter was 4.038 billion euros, and revenue in the third quarter was 1.34 billion euros.
Xu Liang also had to give up.
After acquiring Universal, he specifically inquired about "Avatar".
After talking for a while, they sent the person away.
In this business, Universal Music’s revenue is less than 100 million euros. This year it has increased by nearly 40 million euros, and it will definitely be more next year.
Then Universal Studios CEO Jacquin Kerr walked in.
Universal Studios has nothing to say.
Magic City Universal Studios is still under construction, and there are plans for it in the capital.
The asking prices for the two Universal Studios in Japan and Singapore are too high, and acquisitions are unlikely.
Xu Liang asked about the progress of the family fun project and then asked Lucien to leave.
After a busy day, Xu Liang returned to his mansion in Atherton, spent one night with his parents, Christina and Helen, and went to Hongmeng North America headquarters the next day to continue working.
However, compared to yesterday, today is mainly about having heart-to-heart talks with leaders of various departments to implement his dignity and attitude as the chairman and CEO of the company.
Relatively easy.
After having lunch together at noon, Xu Liang left in the afternoon.
"Mr. Xu, the house you rented has been packed up, and Miss Xinmei and Miss Nagasaki Masami have moved in."
Xu Liang became interested.
“Go and have a look.”
Huo Gang, who acted as the driver, quickly turned around.
The villa he rented this time is also in Atherton, which is not far from his first mansion, as well as Hanhua North America Company, Hongmeng North America Company, and the Warriors.
Commuting to and from get off work is very convenient.
Compared to the first mansion on 5.5 acres.
This rental house is obviously much smaller.
It covers an area of 1600 square meters.
The mansion has 7 bedrooms, 9 separate bathrooms, and is equipped with a cinema, bar and wine cellar.
Outdoors, there is a swimming pool and independent cabin on the park site. The house is surrounded by trees and there is a neatly trimmed lawn in front of the house, which looks lush and green.
The black and white design, modern and simple style, looks very neat. For a rental villa, cleanliness is the most important thing.
After parking the car, Xu Liang stepped into the room.
In the spacious living room, there are only a few sets of unique sofas.
"Mr. Xu, do you need to buy some more furniture?"
"No, that's fine."
"Where are the people?"
Bodyguard Come over quickly.
"Both ladies were swimming in the garden behind."
Xu Liang waved his hand, and the female bodyguard stepped aside.
After taking off his coat and handing it to Lu Hui, he walked toward the backyard.
Push open the bounce door.
The crisp sound of silver bells came from afar.
"Mr. Xu."
The female bodyguard in charge of backyard security saw him coming and greeted him quickly.
After nodding, Xu Liang walked over.
In the swimming pool.
Two mermaids are swimming happily, Fukuda Xinmei is wearing a one-piece pink swimsuit.
After being developed by Xu Liang for more than three years, not only does it have a more mature look, but the lights are also larger.
The beauty next to her is relatively plump, but with a height of nearly 170cm, she not only does not look bloated, but becomes more plump.
Wearing a split beige swimsuit, her slender waist becomes even more attractive.
"Yami, let's compete to see who can swim faster." Fukuda Xinmei shouted happily.
“Sister Xinmei, I am definitely not as good as you.”
"Yami-chan, don't be discouraged? I will let you."
Fukuda Xinmei smiled.
"Really?"
"Of course."
Fukuda Xinmei likes this lively and well-behaved sister who is five years younger than herself.
Although she also knew the reason why the other party appeared here, she had long known and accepted the fact that she would not be the only woman around Xu Liang.
After all, she has grown up in such an environment since she was a child.
This is true whether it is a father or an elder brother.
She is influenced by what she hears and sees, and her acceptance level is higher.
“If you want to swim, how about you join me?”
Qing Lang's words came in, causing the two of them to turn their heads and look subconsciously.
“Xu Jun!”
Futian Xinmei greeted him with a happy face.
He threw himself into Xu Liang's arms.
Holding the man's thick neck, her pretty face was filled with happiness.
After a while.
Ah, a scream.
Futian Xinmei suddenly backed away.
"Xu Jun, I'm sorry. I made your clothes wet."
"Haha, it doesn't matter. Just dry it later."
With that said, Xu Liang took off his wet clothes down to his underwear, then picked up Fukuda Xinmei and jumped into the swimming pool.
After wiping the water on his face, he looked at Nagasawa Masami who was a little at a loss next to him.
Walked.
“Come here.”
Although the latter had been prepared in his heart, he was still nervous when things came to pass.
However, thinking of the agent's instructions, I swam over slowly.
Xu Liang held her waist with his left hand. His tentacles were soft, tight and elastic, and the girl's smooth and smooth skin felt first-class.
He knew Masami Nagasawa when she was still in "Detective Chinatown 3".
Different from the bright and elegant face of Internet celebrities, the whole body exudes the flavor of a mature woman, and the exquisite short hair adds a bit of elite female temperament.
It made him very envious at the time.
But now Nagasawa, who is just 18 years old, has a face full of collagen, and her eyes reveal a naive and cute look. She is a soft girl who can arouse men's protective desire.
Of course soft girls are better than soft girls.
Xu Liang said he liked it very much.
Of course you have to express your love.
The rough left hand opened the swimming trunks and stretched it inside.
Nagasawa Masami's expression changed instantly. There was a hint of resistance, a look of grievance in her eyes, but she couldn't refuse. It reminded Xu Liang of the very hot style of painting in Tokyo.
A small flame burned in my lower abdomen.
"Let's go back to the room."
Futian Xinmei will naturally not object. As long as she is with Xu Liang, it doesn't matter where she goes.
Masami Nagasawa seemed to have thought of something, and her pretty face suddenly turned rosy.
The truth was just as he thought.
Without the flying wings of the colorful phoenix, big and small beads fell into the jade plate.
After nearly a week in the United States, he finally relaxed.
After the two fell asleep.
Xu Liang took a bath and came to the living room.
"Mr. Xu."
Nakajima Yoshiko quickly greeted him respectfully.
