Chapter 763 Do you want a baby? Easy to say, easy to say
Come to CC Films.
Except for the person in charge, Xiangyang and Axel basically don’t know the staff working here.
However, there is a figure that is somewhat familiar to him.
“Director David, long time no see.”
"Mr. Xiang, congratulations." Seeing Xiang Yang coming over to greet him, David Fincher quickly raised his hand and took it.
Yesterday, he heard about the cooperation agreement reached between HYS and the two giants Universal Pictures and McDonald's.
I have to admit that even from the perspective of his own director, the huge benefits generated by this cross-border cooperation surprised him.
What made him even more happy was that while waiting for the arrival of Xiangyang and the others, the senior management of CC Films revealed a piece of news to him.
As for the income generated by Hermès Film Investment Company through the Minions IP, most of it will be used in subsequent movies and TV series.
This is equivalent to saying that the US$100 million needed to produce "House of Cards" to create a top-notch American drama has been secured.
"Perhaps when the script is finalized, we will increase investment." Xiang Yang did not hide it. He was very optimistic about this TV series and quietly revealed some inside information.
In fact, according to common sense, Hermès Film Investment Company will absorb most of the $100 million in props, production and publicity covered by "House of Cards" internally.
So the real bulk of the 100 million is still spent on the production team.
The actor is undoubtedly the leader.
But towards his own people, Xiang Yang was very generous.
He has already obtained the shares of H51. Is it possible that T.J and the staff of CC Films, who are responsible for the TV drama service, can only earn hard money?
Of course not.
For example, she is now the girlfriend of his former boss, Christopher Le Maire.
We used to look down and see each other.
How embarrassing.
Hey, if you think of it this way, shouldn't Flamel call him "Boss" when he sees him?
Xiang Yang thought about it for a while, and the smile on his face couldn't help but grow a little thicker.
"I will cooperate with the consultants as soon as possible to get the script out to you and pass it on." David Fincher gave a direct guarantee.
For a director, it is such a blessing to not have to worry about money.
Feel free to invite any actors you want to collaborate with.
If you want to take a few more shots for later editing, feel free to take them.
"I remembered it when you mentioned this." Xiangyang frowned. He hadn't contacted Macron for a long time and didn't know how he was doing as a consultant.
Uh.
There are too many things going on recently, so I can’t take care of him.
No way, I'm so busy with things lately that I can't take time to go to the community golf course.
"Schaffer, see if there is any spare car from Musk last time. Help me arrange for someone to pick it up at my house."
Call Bea Schaffer to my side. Xiang Yang made arrangements in a low voice.
But as he spoke, he stopped talking.
Even Bea Shaffer knew how to give him and Liu Qianqian a pair of signature pens. How could he only give a bicycle.
"Find someone to help me customize a few bicycles and give them to the Macron family." Xiang Yang said generously that he no longer had to worry about living.
Although he has not received the 2010 dividend yet, he is not short of money.
Can I still afford a bicycle?
"Boss, if you are sending Macron, I have a suggestion." Bea Shaffer thought about the matter seriously and said to Xiangyang:
"Custom-made at TIME's house It would be more appropriate to give him a few.”
"TIME." After Xiang Yang finished speaking, he swallowed, "Then I'll listen to you."
"Okay, Boss." Regarding her suggestion being humbly accepted by Xiang Yang, Bea Shaffer His eyes are filled with joy.
Bicycles, there are many brands.
Whether it is FRW who has reached a cooperation with HYS, or the lightning that Musk gave to Xiangyang, or the Trek that she had used her brains on before.
In front of TIME, a French brand, it is not comparable.
It can even be said that among high-end bicycles, the three top high-end brands, Bianchi, Meihua, and Look, are slightly behind TIME in their respective fields.
The reason for this brand gap is also very simple. Even high-end bicycles are not necessarily produced locally.
Even the brand itself is only responsible for painting and assembly.
TIME still insists on fully manual production in factories in France.
This is also the main reason why Bea Shaffer believes that if Xiangyang wants to give Macron a bicycle, it is best to choose this brand.
"Just buy it." Xiang Yang nodded, but he thought this argument was a bit strange and very Kawako-like.
After taking a random look at Bea Shaffer's face and discovering that she looked nothing like Kawako, Xiang Yang asked: "Can we get it done before Christmas?"
< br>"I'll fight for it." Bea Shaffer was also puzzled by Xiang Yang's strange gaze.
But as far as this matter is concerned, even if TIME claims that it takes 8 weeks to complete a frame, it is not impossible to make an exception and add a plug to Xiangyang.
“Then let’s do this for now.”
After confirming, Xiang Yang returned to Axel. He was greeting the senior executives of CC Films one by one under Little John's enthusiastic introduction.
Axel is also very concerned about the big project "House of Cards" that CC will launch next year.
In particular, Xiangyang proposed to use this drama as a starting point and leverage the advantages of CC Films to create an online streaming platform for global audiences.
Most of all, the name Bilibili feels a bit strange.
But just like CC Films’ main competitor Netflix in this area, do Internet companies need to be careful about their names?
Net refers to the network, and its suffix is the abbreviation of the founder's surname.
After seeing Xiangyang join the listening ranks, the senior management of CC Films introduced the video recommendation engine that CC Films had recently spent a huge investment of 3 million US dollars to improve, and the results were even higher. A few points. This area is also aimed at their future competitor, Netfilx, the world's largest online video rental service provider.
Netflix spent 1 million, and CC Pictures spent 3 million.
Roll it up, who is afraid of whom?
Standing behind CC Films is a giant like Hermès Film Investment Company.
Forget spending $3 million on this engine.
That’s 30 million!
For Hermès Film Investment Company, which is about to get a share of the box office of "The Social Network", it is not short of money.
At least from the financial report, this is the case.
But when the words came to Little John's mouth, things changed.
Always crying about poverty, he said that this is extremely important for customer experience, one of the main tracks in the future. If he wants to achieve more results and launch new algorithms, he must cooperate with some well-known universities in North America. Deeper cooperation.
Can I get this money?
"Xiang, what do you think?" Faced with Little John's temporary blackmail, Axel seemed to have been on guard for a long time.
You can pay, but you must first listen to the more trustworthy Xiang Yang’s judgment.
It is no secret that the youngest son of the JCE family likes to cry when he is poor.
But there is nothing to say about ability.
It is still worth cultivating.
After Xiang Yang thought for a while, he said with firm eyes:
“I think as professionals, the judgment of CC executives is correct. We should close the gap between us and Netflix as soon as possible. , is a choice we must make to maintain our advantage. After all, their advantages are more obvious based on the data feedback brought by the number of customers.”
"Okay, then you and Jean will discuss the specific amount and then submit a special application." Axel smiled at the CC executives present.
This inevitably made director David Fincher, who came to join in the fun today, sigh, this is the gap.
As soon as Xiang Yang said it, the money was approved.
The CEO of Hermès Film Investment Company said it for a long time.
But soon, he stopped the idea.
In his eyes, while other senior executives continued to introduce Axel, Little John quietly came to Xiang Yang, patted his friend on the shoulder with a smile, and whispered:
"I I knew you would support me.”
Xiang Yang smiled, isn’t this nonsense.
The idea I gave you, can I still dismantle you?
On the other side, Liu Qianqian, Deng Chao and Adam Lambert were also received by the staff of Universal Pictures and arrived at tonight's premiere.
Because it was a temporary arrangement, and Liu Qianqian and Deng Chao flew in from Paris and Beijing respectively.
Only Adam Lambert will perform "The Banana Song" in front of the premiere audience and the media tonight.
"This is such a shame, Liu, I would love to sing with you on stage." Adam Lambert is almost obsessed with stage performances.
The main thing is that three people come together to restore MTV more perfectly.
“Next time, there will definitely be a chance.” Liu Qianqian also felt a little regretful about missing an opportunity to communicate better with movie fans.
But thinking about it, she felt that even if she was in good condition, the possibility of performing on stage was very low.
After all, in addition to being a voice actress in the Chinese version tonight, she is also "Mrs. Xiang".
So in the audience, just cheer for Adam Lambert.
“When I have time, I will write a song for you myself, so that I will have no reason to refuse.” Adam Lambert said jokingly.
"Okay, I like your "Whataya Want From Me" very much, and Xiang also likes to listen to it." Liu Qianqian's eyes lit up.
"Does your husband like it too?" Adam Lambert was a little surprised.
"He is very musical." Liu Qianqian praised Xiang Yang with a smile.
Not understanding what the two were talking about, Deng Chao looked around, and after asking Liu Qianqian, he couldn't help but smile: "This is the first time I've heard you praise Mr. Xiang from your mouth."
"Really?" Liu Qianqian was stunned. She felt that she had praised her a lot.
"Well, I heard that "CityOfStars" was improvised by you at a party in Paris."
In doubt, Adam Lambert's words interrupted Liu Qianqian's thoughts again.
"That important part is due to Chazelle, but he did provide a few lyrics." How could Liu Qianqian forget this song that was the love song between the two of them.
But there is another song that she also likes very much.
I just don’t know if I can still hear this song at this year’s Spring Festival Gala.
Thinking that Christmas was approaching, New Year's Day would follow, and then Spring Festival would follow immediately. She couldn't help feeling a little emotional about how time flies.
In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.
He sighed in a low voice. After hearing this sentence, Deng Chao immediately took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Sissi, this year's Lantern Festival seems to be quite close to Valentine's Day. Is your movie Valentine's Day?" Is the festival coming?"
"Yes," Liu Qianqian nodded hesitantly.
It’s all calculated, there are still 3 months left.
Although the filming will be completed in more than half a month, the time seems to be very tight.
I don’t know what gift Xiangyang will give me on Valentine’s Day.
Thinking about it, looking at Adam Lambert who was about to go on stage for the next rehearsal, Liu Qianqian fell into deep thought. She also wanted to give Xiangyang a special gift. gift.
But definitely not, having a baby!
It’s okay if you want a baby.
We will discuss it later when he pays off all his debts.
Anyway, I am still very young~
