Witness of the film and television world

Chapter 177 Nothing

In the autumn of 1953, Hugh Hefner borrowed $8000 from his relatives and friends, bought the copyright of Monroe's naked photo for $500, and founded Playboy. This first issue sold more than 5 copies.

The whole of the United States is excited about this unprecedented men's magazine that focuses on female nudity, talks about sex, love, life quality, and how to relax.

"Playboy" not only became the best-selling adult magazine in the United States, but also sold globally. The magazine made Hefner a millionaire and a romantic figure.

Such a character is quite legendary, if it is not for the improper industry, it is not impossible to become a popular idol.

In fact, after later Playboys implemented diversified operations and expanded their business overseas.

This Mr. Hugh Hefner has indeed become a world-renowned figure, a symbol of federal culture.

"filming?"

Peyton frowned, and his intuition told him that this playboy's purpose didn't stop there.

It’s just making movies, and I haven’t racked my brains to get in touch with myself.

Hollywood has more than one production company, and the Big Six is ​​still there.

Not long after, a phone rang.

Peyton answered the phone: "This is Peyton Chriss, are you Hugh Hefner?"

His tone was very straightforward, and there was a sense of distance in the straightforwardness.

It has to be said that this guy chose the wrong speaker, if he asked Roald to deliver the message.

Then his treatment in Payton will be completely different.

But it is different now.

Because of Joe, because of the Mafia, he doesn't want to have anything to do with them for the time being.

This is his current attitude.

Hugh Hefner's voice was somewhat cautious: "Yes, I'm Hugh Hefner, I'm glad to contact you, Mr. Chris Jr., I'm your admirer."

"Worshipper?" Peyton muttered.

"Yes, your genius has attracted the attention of the whole world, your novels are world-renowned, and your business talent is also admired by everyone." Hugh Hefner looked like a fanatical admirer
The witty words in the mouth, all kinds of exaggerated words of praise, can't stop gushing out.

Payton just smiled, he didn't care whether this guy was his admirer or not.

Besides, I have many admirers, a lot of girls, what are you?

"is it?"

Peyton shook his head.

"Okay, Hefner, stop wasting your time and mine, just state your purpose, I heard you want to make a movie/"

Hearing Payton's indifference, Hugh Hefner stopped showing off his cleverness.

"Yes, sir, I want to make a series of films on Playboy. I plan to make ten films at a low cost to promote Playboy magazine."

"Playboy themed?"

Peyton soon learned what this so-called movie was, and it was nothing more than the existence of All the Way West.

Federal tertiary film.

But it is very in line with the positioning of Playboy.

Speaking of which, even a few well-known female stars would cost more than $[-] to produce a tertiary film, and the production cost of a series is not too expensive.

With so many actresses selling butchers, and the Playboy's reputation in the federation, it's totally worth it.

Perhaps, this can also be regarded as a kind of realization, using the fame of the playboy to realize it.

It's a pity that if that's all, it still can't catch Peyton's eyes.

He is a decent person, and he will not do such things that ruin his reputation.

Peyton just nodded: "If this is the case, you can contact my production company directly, and they will connect with you. As long as you submit the corresponding plan, there will be professionals to connect with you."

"If nothing else, I'll hang up."

"...No, wait, Mr. Chris, there is one more thing I want to share with you."

Hugh Hefner spoke hastily, with a somewhat urgent voice.

Everything was a little different from what he had expected. In his mind, the Playboy series of movies was definitely a project that would pay off.

Not to mention, through this project, how many theme parties can they hold, how many friends can they make, and how many contacts can they expand?

But Chris's attitude has been very cold from the very beginning, even if he proposed this project, he did not change at all.

He didn't know where he offended him.

"Mr. Chris, I have another project."

"Is it still a movie?"

"No! No! I intend to use Playboy to become a specialized clothing company, and I hope to get your support."

"Oh? You want me to invest?" Peyton said.

Hugh Hefner smiled: "It's best to have your investment. If not, as long as you are willing to share your promotion and channels, you will automatically hold 30% of the shares of Playboy Clothing Company."

Peyton laughed immediately, this is a backdoor listing.

But the other party is the white wolf with gloves.

Except for a brand, there is nothing, and the newly established company is nothing, let alone 30% of the shares, even if it is 100%, one hundred percent of zero is still zero.

So, do you want to share the publicity and marketing channels he has worked so hard to build over the years?

I really don't know where he got the courage from?
Is it Joe?Is it the Mafia?
Ha ha.

But Peyton did not refuse!
There was a moment of silence, while Hugh Hefner was panting.

Peyton said suddenly: "90%."

"I invested 200 million yuan to acquire 90% of Playboy's shares. My resources are fully devoted to help Playboy complete and diversified development at the fastest speed, including clothing, cosmetics, bags, magazines, media and other fields."

"This……?"

Hugh Hefner was about to speak, but was interrupted by Peyton.

"I want you to make a choice as soon as possible, time is of the essence."

"In that case, I can also promise to guarantee you a certain management right in the original company."

"By the way, a friendly reminder, playboy is not my only choice, once I choose something else, then..."

Peyton didn't say anything, just hung up the phone.

beep...

"A small magazine, a whimsical little person should pay attention to me? I don't know what to say!"

Peyton snorted coldly, not to mention the playboys of today, even the playboys of later generations, he still has a way to make him unable to eat.

After all, media, clothing, luxury goods... are all Payton's standard dishes.

Also, his last words were not threats.

Playboy is certainly well-known in the industry, but he is not the only one. There are several magazines with similar positioning that are not as famous as "Sex Interest" and "Fantasy".

With Peyton's eyes on the past, the future of this industry will definitely not belong to playboys.

On the other side, Chicago, Playboy headquarters!

Hugh Hefner directly threw the phone over.

"Damn it! Damn capitalist!"

A mere 200 million yuan just wants to take away the hard-earned foundation.

He really wanted to categorically reject the other party and send a word of whore.

But reason told him that the opponent had enough strength to make him have nothing.
