Meiyu: I don’t care about the cost when making movies

Chapter 191 Getting Started with Layout
"Okay, sir."

A moment later, Wayne saw five 'gifts' from Anne Hurst on the terrace.

Kang Hye-jung and Son Ye-jin, who have just entered the entertainment industry, Han Ga and Lee Si-young, who are still college students and models, and Jun Ji-hyun, one of the national goddesses of Bangzi Kingdom, will soon catch up to or even surpass Qiao Mei in fame.

After seeing the appearance of the five people clearly, Wayne, who was still a little disappointed, suddenly showed a surprised expression.

Before, he was thinking about whether he could use the 'second female lead' in "Assassins League" to attract Sister Qiao or Jun Ji-hyun. Unexpectedly, Anne Hurst directly recruited Jun Ji-hyun.

I have to say, Anne Hurst did such a beautiful job!
And this also shows that Bangzi Kingdom is a small country, and it really can be as obedient as it is in front of Milician's father.

At the same time, this once again demonstrates the amazing global influence of the Hearst Group.

His current net worth, even if not counting the inflated part, including the appreciation in stocks and real estate, totals [-] billion U.S. dollars.

But in terms of influence, he probably can't even compare to a fraction of the Hearst Group.

“There is still a long way to go”

Time is precious.

Wayne just sighed casually, and then he couldn't wait to find a guest room with the five of them and drink coffee with them.

As expected, the combat effectiveness of several people was not very good.

As a result, the tea party only lasted less than three hours before it had to be stopped.

Otherwise, these people may be broken.

"Send them to the villa at No. 10 Loxbury Street," Wayne looked at the five Jun Ji-hyuns who would take at least two or three days to recover. He couldn't help but shook his head, put on his clothes and left the room, and ordered Maida. .

"In addition, the clothes and daily necessities they need are also prepared for them."

"Okay, sir."

Wayne all planned to stay with these five people, but it was obviously impossible to live in the manor. After all, they were all 19 years old. There was no problem living outside, let alone five people living together.

Then Wayne looked at the time and found that there was still some time before dinner, so he returned to the terrace on the second floor. While drinking fragrant coffee and admiring the scenery of Los Angeles under the sunset, he called Anne Hurst. Went to the phone.

"Hi, Auntie Anne. I've received the gift and I like it very much."

"As long as you like it, others are fine. I spent a lot of effort on Jun Ji-hyun."

"Haha, trust me, you'll find it's worth it soon."

"Are you talking about the movie "My Sassy Girl" that she is about to release?"

"Yes, I have read the original novel. Jun Ji-hyun's image fits the heroine very well. However, regardless of the box office of the movie itself, her popularity will be greatly improved."

"Okay, let's wait and see, but don't forget what you promised me before."

Wayne was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then realized what she was referring to, and said with a smile: "Toys are just toys after all, and Amanda is different from them. But I think she doesn't seem to be very interested in managing the company?"

Anne Hurst, who was opposite her, turned the seat under her and looked down through the large floor-to-ceiling windows at the busy New York below. She couldn't help but have a look of helplessness on her face with delicate makeup.

How could she not know the virtues of her daughter?
I don’t know if it was influenced by someone who knew the Wang family, but Amanda Hester, like Ivanka, was quite interested in being a model, which gave her a headache.

When she left Amanda to Wayne, she wanted her daughter to experience what it was like to live under someone else's roof without money, so that Amanda could "change her ways".But now it seems that the effect is not very ideal.

"Don't worry, I will make her obedient!" Anne Hurst said through gritted teeth.

Wayne couldn't help but smile and advised: "Amanda is still young, forcing her too hard will be counterproductive." Then he took the initiative to change the topic.

"By the way, I have something to ask Aunt Anne for your help with."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Anne Hurst regained her energy and asked curiously.

"I have my eye on a trendy brand in New York. I plan to acquire and expand the textile factory here in Los Angeles. I may need your help, Auntie Anne."

"No problem, it's all a trivial matter." Anne Hurst agreed happily without thinking. As she said, for her, this was really just a piece of cake.

"With your identity and influence, it is indeed a wise choice to get involved in the fashion industry, but just fashion brands are not enough. I think women's clothing can also be expanded."

Wayne couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

I don’t know if Anne Hurst knew that he had acquired two modeling companies. Anyway, this proposal did exactly what he wanted.

"I have this plan, but my target is not the United States, but Asia. To be precise, East Asia and Southeast Asia."

In terms of women's clothing, he plans to seize the Tokyo fashion show.

After hearing this, Anne Hurst suddenly showed a thoughtful expression on her face, and then she couldn't help laughing.

In her opinion, Wayne's befriending Sony and letting her acquire SM Entertainment was obviously to pave the way for this. He even accepted her investment from the beginning and befriended her. Maybe he valued her holding the four major fashion magazines. It has almost half of the influence in the global fashion industry.

However, she was not dissatisfied at all, but was particularly pleased with Wayne's foresight.

After all, she and Wayne are partners. As Wayne develops better and better, she will also benefit from it.

Even if Wayne can develop Hemera Pictures to the level of the Big Seven, he can in turn help her improve her status in the Hearst family and help her truly take over the entire Hearst family.

"No problem, I will fully cooperate with you when the time comes." Anne Hurst solemnly promised.

And this also made Wayne sigh again that he had indeed found a very good partner.

"Then thank you Auntie Anne. It just so happens that I also have a gift that I want to give to Auntie Anne."

"Oh? What gift?" Anne Hurst couldn't help but become interested.

"A huge cake that is currently developing rapidly, and within the next ten years, the annual revenue will reach at least 10 billion US dollars."

Anne immediately became more interested after hearing this, but just when she was about to ask what kind of cake it was, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind, allowing her to guess what the cake Wayne was talking about was.

"Are you talking about the Huaguo Market?"

"That's right!" Wayne explained: "Today, China already has more than 1700 screens, and based on the current growth rate, in the next ten years, this number is likely to increase five or six times, exceeding 10000 Ten thousand yuan!”

"And unlike the entertainment circles in Japan, South Korea, Hollywood, and even Europe, Chinese entertainment companies can operate not only production and distribution businesses, but also artist management businesses."

"And the share ratio is only a little higher than that of Japan and South Korea. Newcomers generally only get [-]% off, and one lottery can last for eight to ten years."

"So I want to jointly invest with Auntie Anne in the name of Wayne Group to create an entertainment company in China with artist management as the mainstay and film and television investment as the supplement."

"Bring something different to this huge market that has 13 billion potential customers but is still growing wildly."

Annie couldn't help but laugh, thinking that Wayne's last sentence was a joke.

But Wayne actually meant what he said.Recalling the experience in his previous life, after weighing it for a long time, he couldn't help but want to give it a try and bring a little change to China Entertainment.

And as time goes by, Hollywood blockbusters are paying more and more attention to them, and they can't even do without the Chinese market, right?

Since we have to face it sooner or later, it is better to take advantage of the fact that domestic entertainment is still in its early stages of brutal growth and start early.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. How much investment is needed?"

"Ten million is enough. Each of us will contribute 1000 million US dollars, accounting for 500% of the shares. However, you still need to establish the company."

"no problem."

The two sides then discussed the specific details.

After hanging up the phone, Anne Hurst immediately called her secretary to arrange the matter.

It has to be said that in terms of talent pool, Anne Hearst, who is backed by the Hearst family, is much better than the current Wayne.

It's just that China is different from other countries.

With the energy of the Hearst Group, it would be extremely easy for Anne Hester to open such a company in any country in the world. It would be done quickly and she could get various discounts.

Only China cannot.

However, the relationship between Huami and Huami is still in a good period, so there should be no problem in the end.

The biggest problem currently facing the new company is the choice of CEO.

Wayne had already planned this.

"Hello, Mr. Yuan Ba? I'm Wayne."

Wayne personally called Yuan Baye and Li Lianjie and made an appointment to sit and chat together tonight.

Regarding this, both Yuan Baye and Li Lianjie felt flattered.

Although they knew that Wayne must have something to ask them when he suddenly came to them, they both agreed without hesitation.

Not to mention the follow-up to the "Resident Evil" series.

Wayne has been working with Yuan Baye's action team on "The Bourne Supremacy", "Taken", and the following "Assassins".

It can be said that Wayne is the biggest employer of Yuan Baye's team.

And Li Lianjie has also taken on the role of the butcher in "Assassin's League". He was paid 400 million US dollars for a few minutes of the scene. This is the first time that Li Lianjie has encountered such a cheerful and generous role.

The two wanted to do well in Hollywood, but they all hoped that Wayne would not be able to do it.

But if Wayne had spoken, it would be very simple to ban the two of them.

After all, the Big Seven and a number of powerful distribution companies are now trying their best to make friends with Wayne.

Especially after the release of "The Notebook", news of his collaboration with DiCaprio also spread.

As long as Wayne doesn't get involved in the overseas distribution business and still keeps profit from disc sales.

Then his influence is greater than that of the Big Seven alone.

"I want to set up a company in China that is mainly engaged in brokerage business and film and television investment business, and I need the help of two people."

After the three met and sat down, Wayne just exchanged a few simple greetings and then stated his purpose straight to the point.

But Yuan Baye and Li Lianjie showed puzzled expressions after hearing this.

It doesn't matter that Wayne wants to set up an entertainment company in China. After all, after the box office success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the entertainment industry in China has attracted a little attention from the upper echelons of Hollywood.

It's just that their main influence is in Xiangjiang, and it has nothing to do with domestic entertainment.

If Wayne is looking for him, he should look for Zhang Yimou.

Wayne saw their doubts and explained with a smile: "The Hearst Group will also take action this time, so there shouldn't be any trouble in setting up the company."

At this time, even the two people couldn't help but show shocked expressions.

How could they not have heard of the Hearst Group, one of the top three media companies in the United States and even the world?

However, before they could calm down, Wayne continued: "But the CEO of the new company, they want me to arrange it. After all, this is the plan I proposed. It just so happens that I also like someone, so I hope that the two of them will Can anyone help me?"

Now Yuan Baye and Li Lianjie finally understood.

The person Wayne is interested in should be from Xiangjiang.

Although Yuan Baye is mainly an action director in Hollywood, in Hong Kong, he is a very important figure in the directing world.

Although Li Lianjie was born in the Mainland, he became famous in Hong Kong.

Even after he and Cheng Long went to Hollywood, the Hong Kong entertainment circle produced big stars such as Fa Ge, Xing Ye, Liang Chaowei, and Andy Lau.

But in terms of fame, status and influence, they still have to be him and Cheng Long.

With the two of them coming forward, it is almost impossible for anyone to refuse because it is a global media giant like Hearst Corporation that is poaching people.

The two looked at each other, and Yuan Baye asked: "I wonder who Mr. Wayne is interested in?"

"Nicholas Tse's agent Huo Wenxi."

The two looked at each other when they heard the words.

They knew about Nicholas Tse, but they didn't know about Nicholas Tse's manager.

Today's Huo Wenxi is not the director of the Emperor's Artists Department later. Although he has many artists under his command, except for Nicholas Tse, the others are such as Zhang Jiahui, Rong Zuer, Twins, etc. With the level of Yuan Baye and Jet Li, they are basically Have not heard.

"She is an agent under Emperor. In addition to her, I also want her artists Nicholas Tse, Twins, and Zhang Jiahui."

"In addition, I hope that Mr. Li Lianjie can switch to WMA, and it will be no problem to bring his agent with him. At the same time, I will sign a contract with my new company and hand over some of the business in China to the new company."

"Of course, in return, I can provide Mr. Jet Li with the leading role in an action film with a production budget of US$5000 million."

"When the time comes, Yuan Baye can be the director."

"If the box office and reputation are good, it can be developed into a series of movies."

"hiss--"

Yuan Baye and Li Lianjie both leaned back slightly and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
