China Entertainment Anchor

"Director Zhang, long time no see." Dong Bailian stood up and greeted Zhang Yang.

She and Zhang Yang met once under Chen Kun's introduction. Seeing Cai Yinong's embarrassing appearance of trying to figure out the three-bedroom apartment, she helped to rescue him.

Zhang Yang nodded and Dong Bailian spoke up. Others who knew Zhang Yang would look bad if they remained silent.

So Zhang Yang's younger sister Dong Xuan, Li Shangyan, who played the role of Prosecutor Ji in "In the Name of the People", and Xie Junhao, who knew Liu Yifei, also spoke out.

With their jokes, Cai Yinong's embarrassment was finally alleviated.

They acted as if what just happened had not happened, and left immediately after greeting the people in the afternoon sun.

Hou Hongliang and the others did not pursue him, they looked like they didn't care at all.

After the people from Sugar Man left, Hou Hongliang sighed: "There are too many people staring at our company now."

"Pressure is motivation! I believe you can do better." Zhang Yang encouraged him from the side.

"Then we'll go back. Director Zhang, don't send us away."

The banquet hall where they ate was on the second floor, and Zhang Yang and his party lived on the top floor.

Zhang Yang was not polite. He looked at his assistant and said, "Send off Producer Hou for me."

"Okay." The assistant responded readily.

After this interruption, it was already ten o'clock when Zhang Yang and the others returned to the room.

When Liu Yifei arrived in the room, she sighed to Zhang Yang: "It's only been a few years, but the candy man is no longer good."

"That's how it is in this era. It's not bad for each person to lead a coquettish position for three to five years."

"I seem to have been famous for many years, and so have you." Liu Yifei said with a bit of narcissism. Fortunately, she still remembered to praise Zhang Yang.

"I am a director. The older you get, the more popular you become. You will be different." Zhang Yang said in a very Versailles way, then turned around and went to wash up.

"I also become more popular as I get older." Liu Yifei retorted unconvincingly.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Zhang Yang and his party flew back to the capital. In a blink of an eye, on the 5th, he was about to leave for the United States again.

This morning, when Zhang Yang got up and opened the curtains to look outside, it was already completely white outside. It was snowing in the capital!
This little guy Zhang Hongyi is going out to play again! Zhang Yang thought to himself that he should wash up and exercise as usual.

When he changed his clothes and went downstairs, he heard Zhang Hongyi's coquettish voice on the first floor.

"Grandma, I want to go out and play."

"You're not allowed to go, it's too cold outside."

"I want to go out and play in the snow."

"It'll freeze your hands to pieces."

"Grandma, I'm going." Zhang Hongyi already knows that calling grandma and calling grandma have different effects on Liu's mother.

"Then wear two layers of gloves before going out." When Liu's mother heard grandma's name, she was really happy and made a compromise.

"Okay." Zhang Hongyi was so happy that he applauded.

"What's good?" Zhang Yang's voice came down from upstairs, and his face slowly appeared in front of Zhang Hongyi.

The light in Zhang Hongyi's eyes suddenly disappeared. He called out "Daddy" in a babyish voice and walked to his toy kingdom. As for playing outside in the snow, it was not fun at all!
Mother Liu glanced at her grandson, exchanged greetings with Zhang Yang, and followed him.

At noon, we started eating at 11:30 today. This made Zhang Hongyi feel a little strange. He looked at the clock on the wall. Don't we usually have lunch at 12 o'clock?

But it's such a good thing to be able to eat in advance. While eating, Liu Yifei asked Zhang Yang: "Have everything been packed?"

"There's nothing to pack, just a few clothes."

"Dad, are you going abroad again?" Zhang Hongyi's eyes lit up after hearing his mother's words.

"Yes, are you happy?" Zhang Yang looked at his son and said with a smile. He now knows that his son likes that he is not at home, so no one cares about him.

When he was not at home, Liu's mother and Liu Yifei drove him crazy many times.

Zhang Hongyi didn't speak, just eating with chopsticks. Even the speed of eating was much faster. He suddenly felt full of energy.

After lunch, Zhang Yang flew to the United States accompanied by his assistant and bodyguards.

Around 6 noon on the 12th, US time, Los Angeles International Airport, Terminal 1.

Kevin Tsujihara appeared at the airport with a group of Warner employees. As soon as he appeared, he was immediately discovered by the American entertainment media.

Warner and DC, since the Disney-Marvel Alliance began to show its full power in "Avengers" in 12, they have been losing ground and have been overwhelmed.

But this situation has fundamentally changed last year.

Last year, Disney and Marvel's "Deadpool" in February had a global box office of less than 2 million U.S. dollars, "Captain America 8" in May had a box office of 3 billion U.S. dollars, and "X-Men" in June only had a box office of 11.5 million U.S. dollars. , "Doctor Strange" in November only had a box office of $5.3 million.

But DC has also risen. In March, it released "Batman v Superman" with a global box office of nearly US$3 million. In August, "Suicide Squad" had a global box office of nearly US$9 million.
What's more important is that in November last year, Zhang Yang's DC derivative work "Joker" directly took over 11 billion US dollars in box office worldwide.
It can directly compete with "Avengers" at the box office, not to mention that it also won the Golden Lion Award and is also a favorite for this year's Golden Globe and Oscar.

Warner is winning this time. With a box office of more than 12 billion U.S. dollars, the global box office division alone is about 6 million U.S. dollars. Its production cost is only 1.5 million U.S. dollars. Warner made $4.5 million in this regard. And this is only 30% of the total revenue of this movie, which means that their company has more than 10 billion US dollars in revenue in addition to the box office of the "Joker" movie.

What is an honor? With a double bumper harvest at the box office, Zhang Yang is worthy of being one of the world's top three gold-medal directors in the 21st century, a figure who has made history at the Oscars.

In addition, they also have "Wonder Woman" and "Justice League" ready to go this year.
Currently, all media in the United States are very optimistic about DC's counterattack against Marvel.

In this small day, Kevin Tsujihara has also reached the peak of his power in Warner.

However, after all, Warner has not yet defeated Disney, so he still needs to be more humble and humble towards Zhang Yang, not to mention that they are still working together on "The Meg" and would like to cooperate again in the future.

So today's Kevin Tsujihara's trip to Los Angeles International Airport. After he learned about Zhang Yang's flight information, he came to the airport as soon as possible. He wanted to give Zhang Yang all the courtesy and let him enjoy the ultimate glory.

If he gives Zhang Yang money, unless he gives Zhang Yang a certain percentage of the income from "Joker" other than the box office, otherwise he will be completely despised based on Zhang Yang's worth.

Giving him glory is just a loss of face. How much is your face worth?
As mentioned above, Kevin Tsujihara is currently one of the most powerful people in Hollywood. Media reporters who see him must keep a close eye on him.
Currently, those who can make Warner’s chairman and CEO personally greet him at the airport all have an answer in their hearts.

Zhang Yang! This man whose wealth and honor are as terrifying!

I won’t go into details about his other shocks, but let’s talk about the most profound ones that Americans have experienced so far.

After Provence and Wanwan Sugar Factory,

Located on Shakespeare Avenue, 167th Street in the Bronx, New York City, on the long staircase between two buildings, this is where the dance of "Joker" was filmed.

Zhang Yang created it out of thin air and created it as an attraction. Countless people come here every day to take photos. There are also many senior DC fans who regard this place as a holy place. The other name of this staircase, the Clown Staircase, is being used more and more. Many people accept it.

Many people have even suggested that Google officially name this location on the map the Clown Stairs.

So before Zhang Yang's private plane arrived, he rushed to the T1 terminal of the airport and more and more people took photos of Kevin Tsujihara.

Kevin's glamorous assistant naturally discovered this, and she reminded her boss: "Boss, more and more people are coming to film us. Should we take a rest first and wait for Director Zhang Yang's plane to arrive?" Let’s come again.”

"Isn't it just right that they took the photo? The more reports in the newspapers tomorrow, the more face Zhang Yang will gain. Isn't this the purpose of our trip?" Kevin said nonchalantly.

The Warner executives who heard him speaking were a little speechless. Having such a CEO is really... great. Please keep working hard!
If he makes Zhang Yang more comfortable and cooperates with Warner in more movies, wouldn't their bonuses be bigger?
Twenty minutes after twelve o'clock, a Gulfstream G650 aircraft with a black cat on its tail landed slowly at Los Angeles International Airport!

All the media began to take photos of the plane. They knew that the man had arrived!
Zhang Yang on the plane heard the assistant's report at 12:.

Kevin Tsujihara and a group of senior executives were waiting for him at the airport.

"He can really do it, just like he did when he was a kid in college!" Zhang Yang said to his assistant with a snort.

"Boss, what about us?"

"Of course I accepted it happily." Zhang Yang said without any politeness.

As a person who helped Warner earn nearly 2 billion U.S. dollars from one movie, Zhang Yang didn't dare to accept anything.

If he had the ability, he would take Zhang Yang to the island to play.

At 12:25 noon, Zhang Yang's private plane officially landed at the airport. After he and his assistant passed the procedures, they officially entered the T1 terminal.

As soon as the three of them arrived, Kevin Tsujihara spotted them, and Zhang Yang also saw Kevin.

He walked over calmly, and when he was still five or six meters away from Kevin, Kevin suddenly started clapping.

When he applauded, more than a dozen Warner executives were not allowed to follow him.

Entertainment reporters also took pictures of all this, and soon Zhang Yang came to Kevin amidst their applause.

From this young age, he was a strong-willed man who gave Zhang Yang a big hug.

Zhang Yang also had a smile on his face and hugged him. After the hug, Kevin shook hands with Zhang Yang. He smiled and said, "Welcome to Los Angeles, our movie emperor."

Kevin's disgusting words made people on both sides a little unbearable.

Even Zhang Yang couldn't bear it, so Zhang Yang began to shake his hand harder, but with a smile on his face he said: "Thank you, Kevin."

Kevin quickly felt something was wrong. His hand was so painful from Zhang Yang's hold, but Zhang Yang wouldn't let go. He was a little helpless. The two of them felt like they had just met each other late. They held it for almost a minute, and Kevin's face It was almost turning red before Zhang Yang let him go.

"Kevin, don't be so polite. I've already booked a hotel." Zhang Yang said politely.

"This is all as it should be. We must use the highest etiquette to welcome Warner's biggest contributor last year." Kevin vowed to fight to the end today.

Zhang Yang was a little defeated. He admitted that he couldn't compete with Kevin in the field of numbness.

"Let's leave first!" Zhang Yang said, pointing to the VIP channel.

"Please." Kevin also extended his hand, and the two of them took the lead and left the hall together.

Outside the VIP channel, a special car from the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel was already waiting for him.

After Zhang Yang said he would not go to Warner, Warner's executives left, and only Kevin's assistant went to the hotel with him.

The reason why Zhang Yang still lives here this time is because the Golden Globe Awards are held here, which is really convenient.

After the group arrived at the hotel, Kevin continued to speak: "Director, although "Joker" has already held a celebration banquet, the celebration banquet is incomplete without you."
