Reborn fashion designer

Chapter 763 Do you want a baby?
Come to CC Films.

Except for the person in charge, Xiangyang and Axel basically don't know the staff working here.

However, there was one person whose figure he felt somewhat familiar with.

"Director David, long time no see."

"Congratulations, Mr. Xiang." Seeing Xiang Yang coming over to greet him, David Fincher quickly raised his hand to take the outstretched hand.

Yesterday, he heard about the cooperation agreement reached between HYS and two giants, Universal Pictures and McDonald's.

He has to admit that even from his own perspective as a director, the huge profits generated by this cross-border collaboration surprised him.

What made him even happier was that while he was waiting for Xiang Yang and his companions to arrive, the top management of CC Pictures revealed a piece of gossip to him.

Most of the revenue generated by Hermès Film Investment Company from the Minions IP will be used in subsequent movies and TV series.

This means that the $100 million needed to produce the top American TV series "House of Cards" has been secured.

"Maybe once the script is finalized, we will increase the investment a little bit." Xiang Yang did not hide anything. He was very optimistic about this TV series and whispered some inside information.

In fact, according to common sense, Hermes Film Investment Company will absorb most of the $100 million cost of props, production, and promotion of "House of Cards" internally.

Therefore, the bulk of the 100 million yuan was spent on the production team.

The actors are undoubtedly the big ones.

But Xiangyang is very generous to his own people.

He has already obtained shares in H51. Does that mean that the staff of TJ and CC Pictures, who are responsible for the costumes and makeup of TV dramas, can only earn money through hard work?
That certainly can't be done.

For example, she has now become the girlfriend of his former boss, Christopher Lemaire.

We used to see each other every day.

How sorry.
Well, if that’s the case, shouldn’t Flamel also call me “Boss” when he sees me?
Xiangyang pondered for a while, and the smile on his face became even more intense.

"I will work with the consultants to get the script to you and your review as soon as possible." David Fincher made a direct promise.

For a director, it is such a blessing not to have to worry about money.

Any actor you want to work with is welcome.

I want to shoot a few more sets of footage for later editing, so just shoot casually.

"I remembered it when you mentioned it." Xiangyang frowned. He hadn't contacted Macron for a long time and wondered how he was doing as a consultant.

Well.
I've been too busy lately and haven't been able to take care of him.

There's nothing I can do. I've been too busy lately and have no time to stroll around the community playground.

"Shafer, see if there are any spare cars from the one Musk gave me last time, and arrange for someone to pick them up at my house."

Calling Bi Shafer to his side, Xiangyang began to make arrangements in a low voice.

But as he was talking, he stopped talking.

Even Bi Shaffer knew to give him and Liu Qianqian a pair of pens, so how could he just give them a bicycle?

"Please find someone to make a few bicycles for me and give them to Macron's family." Xiangyang generously said that he no longer has to worry about his life.

Although he hasn't received the dividends for 2010 yet, he is not short of money.

Can’t you afford a bicycle?

"Boss, if you want to give Macron away, I have a suggestion." Bi Shafer thought about it seriously and said to Xiang Yang:
"It would be more appropriate to order a few from TIME and give them to him."

"TIME." Xiang Yang said, swallowing his saliva, "Then I'll listen to you."

"Okay, Boss." Bi Shafer was delighted that Xiangyang humbly accepted her suggestion.

Bicycles come in many brands.

Whether it is FRW that has reached a cooperation with HYS, or the Lightning that Musk gave to Xiangyang, or the Trek that she had thought about before.

Nothing can compare to the French brand TIME.

It can even be said that among high-end bicycles, the three top high-end brands Bianchi, Meihua and Look have some gaps with TIME in their respective fields.

The reason for this brand gap is very simple. Even high-end bicycles are not necessarily produced in the brand’s home country.

Even the brand itself is only responsible for painting and assembly.

TIME still insists on fully handmade production in its factories in France.

This is also the most important reason why Bi Shafer thought that Xiangyang should choose Macron bicycle as a gift.

"Just buy it." Xiangyang nodded, but he felt that this argument was a bit strange and very much like Chuanzi's.

After taking a quick look at Bi Shaffer's face and realizing that she looked nothing like Chuanzi, Xiangyang asked, "Can it be done before Christmas?"

"I'll try my best." Bi Shafer was also puzzled by Xiangyang's strange look.

But in this case, even though TIME claims that it takes 8 weeks to complete a frame, it is not impossible to make an exception and give Xiangyang a plug.

"Then let's do this for now."

After the confirmation, Xiangyang returned to Axel's side. Under the enthusiastic introduction of Little John, he was greeting the senior executives of CC Pictures one by one.

Axel is also very concerned about CC's big project "House of Cards" that will be launched next year.

In particular, Xiang Yang proposed to use this drama as a starting point and leverage the strengths of CC Pictures to create an online streaming platform for a global audience.

Of course, the name Bilibili seems a bit strange.

But just like CC Pictures’ main competitor in this field, Netflix, do Internet companies need to be carefully considered in their names?
Net refers to network, and its suffix is ​​the abbreviation of the founder's surname.

When the senior executives of CC Pictures saw Xiang Yang joining the group, they introduced that the film recommendation engine that CC Pictures had recently improved at a huge cost of 300 million US dollars had achieved even better results. This was also aimed at their future competitor, Netflix, the world's largest online film rental service provider.

Netflix spent 100 million, while CC Films spent 300 million.

Just roll up, who’s afraid of who?

Behind CC Pictures stands a giant like Hermes Film Investment Company.

Never mind dropping $300 million on this engine.

That’s 3000 million!
For Hermes Film Investment Company, which will immediately receive a share of the box office of "The Social Network", it is not short of money.

At least that's what the financial report shows.

But when these words came into little John's mouth, they changed.

He, who always cries poor, 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 needs to have deeper cooperation with some well-known universities in North America.

Can this money be...
"Xiang, what do you think?" Faced with Little John's sudden blackmail, Axel seemed to have been prepared for it.

You can pay the money, but you should first listen to what Xiangyang, who is more trustworthy, has to say.

It is no longer a secret that the youngest son of the JCE family loves to cry poor.

But his ability is beyond reproach.

It is still worth cultivating.

Xiangyang thought about it and said with a firm look:

"I think as professionals, CC's top management made the right decision. We must make the decision to widen the gap between us and Netflix as quickly as possible to maintain our advantage. After all, their advantage is more obvious in terms of data feedback from the number of customers."

"Well, the specific amount will be discussed between you and Jean, and then we will 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 and say, this is the gap.

As soon as Xiangyang said that, the money was approved.

The CEO of Hermès Film Investment Company talked for a long time but...
But soon, he stopped thinking about it.

Under his gaze, while other senior executives continued to introduce Axel, Little John quietly came to Xiangyang, patted his friend's shoulder with a smile, and whispered:

"I knew you would support me."

Xiangyang smiled and said, isn't this nonsense?

I gave you an idea, can't I destroy your plan?

On the other side, Liu Xixi, Deng Chao and Adam Lambert were also received by the staff of Universal Pictures and arrived at the premiere tonight.

Because it was a temporary arrangement, and Liu Qianqian and Deng Chao flew in from Paris and Beijing respectively.

The only person to perform "Banana Song" in front of the premiere audience and media tonight was Adam Lambert.

"It's such a shame, Liu, I really want to sing with you on stage." Adam Lambert is almost obsessed with stage performances.

The main thing is that the three of them get together to recreate the MTV more perfectly.

"There will definitely be a chance next time." Liu Qianqian also felt a little regretful for missing an opportunity to communicate better with fans.

But thinking about it, she felt that even if she was in good shape, the possibility of performing on stage was very low.

After all, in addition to being the voice actor for the Chinese version, she is also "Mrs. Xiang" tonight.

So in the audience, just cheer for Adam Lambert.

"When I have time, I will write a song for you myself, so that you will have no reason to refuse." Adam Lambert said jokingly.

"Okay, I really like your song "Whataya want from me", 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 has a talent for music." Liu Qianqian praised Xiangyang with a smile.

Deng Chao looked around and asked Liu Qianqian what they were talking about. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "This is the first time I've heard you praise Mr. Xiang."

"Really?" Liu Qianqian was stunned. She felt that she had praised him a lot.

“Well, I heard that you improvised “City Of Stars” at a party in Paris.”

While Liu Xixi was in doubt, Adam Lambert's words interrupted her train of thought again.

"That was mainly due to Chazelle's contribution, but he did provide a few lyrics." How could Liu Qianqian forget the song that sealed their relationship?

But she also liked another song.

I just don’t know if I can still hear this song in this year’s Spring Festival Gala.

Thinking that Christmas is approaching and it will be New Year's Day, and then the Spring Festival, she couldn't help but sigh that time flies.

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

He sighed quietly, and Deng Chao, who heard this, immediately took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Xixi, this year's Lantern Festival seems to be quite close to Valentine's Day. Will your movie be released on Valentine's Day?"

"Well, yes." Liu Qianqian nodded hesitantly.

At most, 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 this and looking at Adam Lambert who was about to go on stage for the next rehearsal, Liu Xixi fell into deep thought. She also wanted to give Xiangyang a special gift.

But it definitely won’t be giving birth to a baby!
If you want a baby, you can.

When he pays off all the debts, we can discuss it again.
Anyway, I'm still young~
