American TV series: Start with the little Sheldon's wool

Chapter 515 Caroline Asks for Help

As the weather gets hotter and hotter, it is July. After a month of release, Titanic finally achieved a domestic box office of 1.33 billion.

Coupled with the market being developed by King's Agency and director Cameron, Titanic earned more than 100 million in box office revenue overseas in just two weeks.

All in all, the box office of the movie Titanic has reached the threshold of 1.5 billion.

This once again shocked many people in the industry.

You should know that in the previous film market, the highest box office result was only around 500 million, and Titanic directly tripled this record.

It also allowed people in the industry to see the huge potential of the film industry.

As for ordinary people outside, the topic of conversation after dinner from June to July was almost entirely dominated by the Titanic, and it had a good reputation.

At this point, the big movie invested by Mike can be said to have gained both fame and fortune.

Under such circumstances, Mike also invited people from all walks of life in a timely manner and held a grand celebration banquet in the lobby on the first floor of the King's Building.

When the big cake with the box office revenue of 1.5 billion was brought out, the atmosphere of the celebration banquet reached its climax with warm applause and various congratulations.

Then, as champagne and streamers were thrown to herald the victory, Mike smiled and took a commemorative photo with the crew in front of the big cake.

"Mr. Mike, the Titanic movie project is nearing completion. Are you interested in talking to me about our next collaboration?" As soon as the celebration ceremony ended, Director Cameron approached Mike with a beaming face.

This blockbuster movie also brought director Cameron's career to the peak. In addition, the cooperation was very pleasant, so Director Cameron is willing to continue to cooperate with Mike, an investor who is not short of money.

"Tell me what you think?" Mike asked with a smile.

The box office of Titanic, plus the pre-sale of movie peripherals that King Group was preparing to sell, conservatively estimated that this big movie could bring Mike at least 2 billion in economic income.

Of course, this is secondary. The main thing is the popularity.

The success of the movie Titanic brought the name of Mike, the legendary investor, into the public eye.

Now he is lying down, and he can collect a huge amount of faith points every day.

Mike naturally wouldn't mind doing this kind of business which was a sure win.

Moreover, Mike is very optimistic about the level of director Cameron, and he is willing to continue investing in him as long as the other party's future cooperation plans are not too outrageous.

"It's like this. As long as you are willing to continue to trust me, I can guarantee that I will make a good movie every two years on average..." For this big movie, Director Cameron took 1% of the profits, and his income reached tens of millions.

After having a pleasant cooperation experience, Director Cameron naturally wanted to lean on Mike, so he expressed his willingness to cooperate for a long time.

A big movie every two years?

For a great director of Cameron's level, this efficiency is not considered slow.

"As long as the quality of your future films is not too bad, I am willing to continue investing in you." Mike also expressed his willingness to cooperate.

This wave is a two-way rush.

"Of course, you can rest assured about the quality of the movie, and I don't want to damage my reputation." Director Cameron raised the champagne in his hand first.

As their glasses clinked, Mike and Cameron reached a preliminary verbal agreement.

"Okay, an old man like me won't take up any more of your precious time." Director Cameron took a sip of champagne and made a rare joke while looking at the many beauties around him who were eyeing Mike.

With Mike's current wealth and fame, coupled with his unique handsomeness, he can choose any beauty from Hollywood and Broadway as long as he wants.

Naturally, many beauties attended the celebration party for the movie, including some stunning female stars.

As Director Cameron made room for him, these beauties quickly surrounded Mike with eager eyes.

After some meaningless conversation about warmth and concern, Mike only remembered that it felt good, was very white in color, and was very large.

……

When Chris found Mike with the phone, the latter, surrounded by many beauties, seemed to have drunk too much and leaned against the waves. "Mike, Caroline seems to have something urgent to talk to you about, and she called me because your phone was not working..." Chris squeezed into the crowd, apologized to the beauties around him, and helped Mike, whose face, neck and clothes were covered with lipstick, to a quiet corner.

Since Chris was in charge of the Titanic movie peripherals, he also attended the celebration party.

"Did Caroline say what it was?" Mike came to the corner, no longer confused as before. After being dragged away by Chris's support, he was wiping the lipstick marks on his face with a towel.

I have to say, Mike's level 4 performance skills are really realistic.

His acting skills are better than most movie stars.

"So you weren't drunk?" Chris, who had experienced Mike's acting skills up close, had a look of surprise on his face.

"How can champagne make people drunk?" Mike asked as if it was a matter of course.

"So what you just did..." Chris was so surprised that his brain hadn't reacted yet.

"Of course I'm pretending. Haven't you heard that if a man doesn't get drunk, a woman won't stand a chance~" Mike explained jokingly, then became more serious: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. What's going on with Caroline?"

Caroline was originally qualified to live in the King's Building, but because of her proud personality, her relationship with the playboy Mike has been a little distant recently.

Mike also had many guesses about the situation in Channing's family.

If the situation allowed, Mike would certainly help Caroline.

"I heard that Channing Enterprises has declared bankruptcy, and the situation is very serious now. Caroline's call may be related to this situation..." There are no outsiders here, so Chris doesn't have to hide his words: "Forget it, you should talk to Caroline yourself."

As a family member, Chris certainly knew that his boss had an ambiguous relationship with the eldest daughter of the Channing family.

So he simply handed the phone to Mike.

"Hello, Caroline, are you there? This is Mike." Mike put the phone to his ear.

"Mike... wuwuwu... my father has been kidnapped by them... Qian, Channing Enterprises is also finished..." Caroline's sad crying voice was heard from the phone, and she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

"Stop crying first, tell me where you are now and I'll find you." Mike already had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

Just as he had guessed before, the head of the Qianning family, in order to fill the hole of the real estate bubble, took the risk of pyramid schemes to raise funds, and now things have finally run into trouble.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that Kings Entertainment’s new movies and new albums have been doing well recently, which seems to be a prosperous and peaceful situation.

However, due to the overly loose mortgage policies of banks, people have developed the habit of pre-consumption.

Now with the bursting of the real estate bubble, I wonder how many people will be dragged down by their mortgage loans.

It is foreseeable that with the bankruptcy of the Qianning family's trillion-dollar enterprise as the trigger, the era of economic depression is coming.

"I live in this villa in the suburbs. They said that because my father still owes a lot of money outside, this villa will be taken away and confiscated..." Talking about the sad part, Caroline couldn't help crying again.

"Okay, calm down first and don't get into conflict with public officials. I'll be there soon~" Mike calmed the girl down and hung up the phone.

Looking at the lively scene in my building.

Who could have imagined that the overall economic environment was about to collapse?

I have to say this is very American and magical.

After retracting his gaze, Mike looked at Chris in front of him and said, "From today on, King Group will reduce its investment in light luxury goods and increase investment in the people's livelihood and civilian fields..."

"Forget it, this is not the place to talk about this. Just give yourself a rough idea, and we'll talk about it in detail when I come back~"

After saying that, Mike turned and walked out of the building, calling the cold-faced female bodyguard Needy at the door.

The two drove together towards Caroline Villa in the suburbs.
