Chapter 882 Sir, please listen
“Man, long time no see.”
A few days later, Xiangyang returned to Paris and had just put the family photos on his desk before he had time to appreciate them. , the door was pushed open.
Little John said hello with a smile.
Bee Shaffer remains the same.
A look of disgust.
“Why are you back from Hollywood?” Xiangyang waved his hand towards Bea Shaffer and took a long breath, “Prepare me a cup of coffee.”
“No, it’s two cup," Littlejohn added.
After saying that, he shook the folder in his hand, handed it to Xiangyang, and then copied the photos that his friend had just laid out.
At a glance, he recognized that this was Xiangyang's yard.
"The photo was pretty good." He praised and asked, "Didn't you take a photo with Liu alone?"
"Yes."
Xiang Yang said, I haven't taken a photo yet. Take it out.
You just come in.
After saying that, he took out the photo of himself and Liu Qianqian taken alone from his bag. The clothes in this photo were completely different from the family photo.
There are no vulgar red scarves, nor are Mu Xin and Zhiyin adding to the chaos.
Only him and Liu Qianqian.
“It would be perfect if there was little JoJo in this.” After admiring it, little John suddenly said with regret: “Laura and I should also appear in this photo.”
< br>Xiang Yang is JoJo’s godfather.
I am a good friend of Xiangyang.
There should be three of them in the family photo.
“What you think is quite beautiful.”
“No, I think we should also find a chance to take a photo.” Little John was reluctant to put the photo down. Similar photos actually He has too.
But since his quarrel with JCE, he threw them into the drawer.
“I heard that you are going to kill that old stubborn guy in our family?”
After chatting with Xiang Yang for a while, and after Bea Shaffer brought in coffee, Little John started to inquire about the news he had heard in the United States.
He couldn't hide the fact that Hermès was going to launch a new product line.
And, he also knows.
This is probably related to beauty.
Then this will be fun.
Because in the luxury goods industry, perfume is an indispensable part of the beauty industry. Even on product labels, perfume is often labeled as a beauty category.
So.
"I am not you." Xiang Yang took a sip of coffee and had no intention of seizing power with JCE.
In his opinion, what he has to do now is just to improve the construction of the beauty department, and then make adjustments to the entire department through innovation.
How long does this process take.
First, look at your mood, and second, look at the R&D capabilities of the beauty department you are looking for next.
Maybe when the first product is actually launched, JCE will not be sitting in the position of creative director of the perfume department.
“Let’s talk about something serious, why are you back?”
Xiang Yang asked.
“Didn’t I give it to you?” Little John pointed to the folder that he had just given to Xiangyang and placed casually on the table behind him.
"I have obtained the copyright of "50 Degrees of Gray", and I have also contacted the producer of the movie you mentioned, and there are other things."
Communicate with Xiangyang about my contact with CJ Li Meijing After clicking, Little John said proudly: "I didn't expect that our movie would be quite popular in the Asian market. Neon will send a representative to Paris at the end of the month to sign a contract with us."
"Really? "
Hearing that "Space Traveler" will successfully premiere in Korea and Neon at the same time, Xiang Yang's tone revealed an indescribable smile.
No choice, this time I went to Wuhan before returning to Paris.
When he met Principal An and Liu Qianqian's family there, his wife gave him enough face as a son-in-law visiting relatives.
I didn’t realize that my wife looked like a good wife and mother in front of her grandparents.
Changing from his usual lazy behavior, he just got up early to prepare breakfast for himself, and took care of the two babies by himself without him having to worry about anything.
This kind of life is lived.
Although it is short-lived, it has endless aftertaste.
It would be fine if it was like this every day.
“But there is one thing I want to tell you, publicity cannot be left behind. Both South Korea and Neon regard Liu Qianqian’s attendance at local publicity events as a condition for negotiation.”
< br>Seeing that his friend was in a good mood, Little John took the opportunity to speak quickly.
Just as he finished speaking, Xiang Yang frowned, "Are you still going to promote?"
"." Little John lowered his voice and said the lines he had prepared long ago. , "That's natural, Xiang, you have to know whether the main creative team is present for the publicity event, the audience will have a different feeling."
"Of course I know this." Xiang Yang rolled his eyes at his friend.
So much nonsense.
"Let's talk about it with Liu. It's best to streamline some of the schedule. She has a lot of promotions in China. Although the box office in South Korea and Japan is a good supplement for the film company, the big head is still there. China.”
“How can Big Head be in China?”
Little John curled his lips.
Compared with South Korea's 35% and Neon's 50%, China's box office share is only a pitiful 13%.
As an investor, Hermès Film Investment Company’s profits in China also need to be shared equally with several companies.
This extra income will also be used for other film investments in China.
This is still based on the fact that the movie is a hit.
If the movie box office fails to meet expectations
Since the release of "The Piano" in China, which only earned 20 to 30 million at the box office, Little John has realized that copying the international practices of Hermès Film Investment Company to China simply won't work.
So much so that he didn't even mention the "Warring States" that he initially invested in.
In his spare time, he sometimes wonders whether Xiang Yang’s idea of embracing China’s TV drama field has been revealed early.
“How can I have such ability?” Xiang Yang laughed.
He only knew that "Warring States" would pull him apart.
The reason is obvious.
But he himself has no idea what kind of box office results his wife's new film will achieve.
Otherwise, I won’t be able to help even a single point.
In case it fails at the box office, my wife will be crowned the box office poison.
Then his life is not easy either.
"You sign what needs to be signed first, and then we can talk about other things after you finish the business." Little John urged.
"Don't worry, I haven't looked at it yet."
He glanced at his friend suspiciously, then looked at the folder in his hand that had never been opened.
Xiang Yang thought, maybe this guy is thinking about something again.
Just when he was on guard and ready to take a closer look at the specific contents in the folder, Little John pretended to be relaxed and shrugged, "Okay, don't worry. You have to sign it sooner or later anyway. ”
"Yeah." Xiang Yang was even more confused.
Little John, have you changed your gender?
Uh.
Probably not.
This operation is quite turbulent, and just a few days are not enough for him to recover.
"I almost forgot to tell you some good news." Little John was also surprised that his friend was looking at him, but in order to distract Xiang Yang's attention, he then found a topic.
It is mentioned in "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu.
It was said in "Thirty-Six Stratagems", but he couldn't remember clearly.
But he knew that he had to muddy the water first.
You can’t leave Xiang Yang too much time to think. "What good news? Little JoJo can already ride a bicycle?" Xiang Yang asked jokingly.
"Don't mention the car to me. We will settle the matter when we have time." When he mentioned the four-wheeled vehicle, Little John became angry, "What I want to tell you is, I have already reached an agreement with 20th Century Fox about the adaptation of "Space Traveler", and it will start after the Oscars."
"Oh, this is about it"
Xiang Yang sighed, this is it. The guy moves really fast.
The timing is also stuck very well.
The Oscars are held on February 27. By that time, "Space Traveler" had been released in Asia for basically two weeks.
The general box office results can basically be revealed.
Advance can be used to attack, retreat can be defended.
No matter what, you won’t suffer any loss.
What he didn’t expect was that what Little John was playing this time was real.
He smiled and said: "I am going to break the news with 20th Century Fox during the Golden Globe Awards and contribute to the publicity at the same time. Bill Nye also very much approves of this plan."
" Has he agreed to be a producer?" Xiang Yang was surprised.
"Of course. He is also planning to play the role of the father in it." Little John smiled proudly, "You don't even know how fascinated he is by the script written by Liu."
< br>"It's not just her." Xiangyang corrected Little John's words.
The entire framework of "Space Traveler" was indeed built by Liu Qianqian.
But Xing Nana’s contribution cannot be ignored.
Although, mainland stars like to shape their career in film, television, music, movies, and music, just like mediocre actors who have no roles to shoot, but want to shape their personality to go to Europe and the United States for a retreat.
But Xiangyang felt that Liu Qianqian really didn’t need to set up the persona of a talented woman.
Having a good wife is enough.
"Whatever you say." Little John shrugged and said nonchalantly.
The two chatted for a few more words about the movie. Bea Shaffer gently opened the door and walked in. "Boss, Ms. Li has already set off. In addition, the roof garden has been arranged properly. You can go there at any time." "
Hearing this, Xiangyang drank all the coffee in the cup, then patted his friend on the shoulder and said: "I have an important guest to receive, so I have to go and do my work first. I'm free tonight. Let’s eat together.”
“Don’t leave.”
As soon as he put down the cup.
Little John quickly grabbed his friend's arm.
It hasn't been signed yet.
"Hurry up and sign. I have to apply for a budget here. I'm going to fly back to Los Angeles tonight." The reason given by Little John was reasonable.
The Golden Globe Awards are coming soon, and Liu Qianqian has already met with the crew of "Black Swan" and started to participate in public relations.
Of course he is going to escort him.
“You are quite thoughtful.” Xiang Yang, who knew the moral character of some people in Hollywood, pursed his lips.
Just as he was about to take out a pen from his suit and write his name on the document in front of the attentive little John Tunnel, Bea Shaffer said quickly:
"Boss, Axel is there While waiting for you, why don’t you sign it after you finish your work?”
These words shocked Little John.
"Alright." Xiangyang nodded.
For the documents involving the film investment company, asking Little John to submit them is no different from asking Bea Shaffer to submit them to the financial department.
As for "Fifty Degrees of Grey".
I took the time to look through it twice and found that it had been signed by the female author, Little John and the lawyer.
Xiang Yang made a big stroke.
"Let's talk about the rest when we come back. It's not good to keep Axel waiting for too long." After saying this with a smile at his friend, Xiang Yang walked out of the office one step ahead.
While passing by the front desk, he was in a good mood and asked Annabella: "What do you think of my outfit today?"
"Don't you always wear this suit?" Annabelle blinked.
“You”
Xiang Yang was speechless.
This assistant is really boring.
“Why don’t you sit here, go help me pick up the dog and cat, and take a look at how the housekeeping company has cleaned the yard and room for me.”
After saying this angrily, Xiang Yang gave up.
Behind him, the dazed Little John finally realized what he was doing. After seeing Bea Schafer who had ruined his good deeds, he put away the folder and followed in Xiangyang's footsteps.
He snorted, "Your uncle"
This is a curse word.
He learned from Lao Xiang.
It is said to be the most authentic Shangjing dialect besides SB.
And the sound, neither loud nor quiet, was just enough for Bea Shaffer to hear it clearly as she walked out of the room.
Turn around, Bea Shaffer glared at Little John.
"I mean thank you for the coffee you made for me." Little John subconsciously took a step back and explained awkwardly.
If it were in the past.
He definitely doesn't allow little bees.
But today is different.
What if this woman acted mischievously and put away the interrogation documents, causing Xiang Yang to be unable to sign for a long time? Then wouldn’t his fantasy of withdrawing more funds from the Japanese and Korean markets be shattered?
Xiang Yang is very lazy
So lazy that sometimes small things that he doesn’t care about can drag on for ten days and a half.
Xiang Yang is also very diligent.
Hardworking enough to leave at a moment’s notice.
"Haha." Seeing that he was so cowardly, Bea Shaffer smiled sarcastically. She was too lazy to talk to Little John and turned around and quickly caught up with Xiang Yang.
"Hey, if I weren't afraid that he would be too worried, I would definitely let Liu take action." Little John, who only wanted to know whose affairs his friends cared about the most, was helpless. pace.
He did this not for himself.
Of course, bragging to Nicholas Post doesn't count.
However, it’s a bit strange.
The look in Bea Schaeffer's eyes as she looked back, as if she understood that she was scolding her. She shouldn't be scolding her, right? By the way, who is her uncle?
Does Bill Nye count?
Uh.
other side.
After catching up with Xiangyang, Bea Shaffer's face became more and more ugly as she thought about it. While walking to the adjacent office building, she directly complained.
"Boss, Little John just scolded you."
"Ah, what did you say?" Xiang Yang, who was walking in front with high spirits, stopped for a moment.
Why is Little John scolding himself for nothing?
Out of curiosity, he asked what was going on.
Hearing the words "your uncle", Xiangyang was first surprised that Bea Shaffer could understand Hua Xia's curse words, and then said with a smile:
"You can't do this." You shouldn't tell me."
"Then who should I tell?" asked Bea Shaffer.
“Of course I’m talking to Lafayette, and by the way, JCE also counts.” Xiang Yang said with a smile: “Strictly speaking, he has scolded all the male elders of your father’s generation.”< br>
"As for me."
Xiang Yang pursed his lips.
Although your mother and I are of the same generation.
But I’m not that old!
Besides, I agree, are you willing to call me to listen?
"Then he's dead." Bea Shaffer's eyes lit up~
"Ahem, just take it easy and don't let me collect his body." Seeing her like this, Xiang Yang suddenly realized something in his mind The seriousness of the matter.
Although he wanted to see the excitement.
But he doesn’t want to greet JoJo!
"What, otherwise, just think that he is scolding me." At the critical moment, Xiang Yang still stood up and interceded on behalf of his friend.
Bea Shaffer looked at Xiang Yang.
Didn’t you give me the idea
