The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 131 Hedging
The scene was silent for a few seconds. Xu Jiuyang took a deep breath and asked, "Can I understand this way? Columbia Pictures isn't really in favor of investing in 'Hero'?"

"After all, I was parachuted in, and I just fired a Taiwanese director of the Asia production department." Angela said calmly, "In fact, I paid the majority of the money for the Hero project myself."

Xu Jiuyang took a deep breath. Although he knew that this rich woman had a lot of money when Angela said that she made $5 million from the IT bubble - the private equity fund made $5 million, it did not mean that her net worth could be $5 million. It also depends on the specific contract, but it would definitely not be too little. At least she would get a 10% share.

But hearing her say this at this moment, I couldn't help but be surprised, because at this point in time, the "Hero" project is basically a sure win.

As mentioned before, this project is a pig in the wind, and it just happens to coincide with the government's need to show political achievements and boost national morale. As long as the movie is not as bad as a certain Taro's "749 Bureau", the box office must be boosted no matter what.

This is domestic.

Internationally, because Li An's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" did set off a wave of Eastern martial arts, and the West was still immersed in the pride of victory in the Cold War, they viewed China's joining the WTO as a form of surrender, so naturally they didn't mind giving it some sweet benefits.

As a result, "Hero" grossed $5000 million in North America and nearly $2 million worldwide.

Angela dared to invest a large sum of money, either because she was too gambler or because she had a long-term vision.

"So don't worry. Even if Columbia is still not interested, I am also a director of Summit Entertainment, and they also have the distribution rights in North America." Angela said with a smile.

"Can you finish it in one breath next time?" Xu Jiuyang said, suppressing the urge to roll his eyes.

Tang Wei, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but burst out laughing, then lowered his head in fear after the man and woman cast their gazes at him.

"Okay, any other questions?" Angela spread out her hands.

"No more," Xu Jiuyang sighed, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

"I'll have Tang Wei organize the information and give it to you as soon as possible." Angela nodded.

After Xu Jiuyang left the meeting room, Angela stood up a few minutes later without saying a word. Tang Wei, who was about to see Xu Jiuyang off, lowered her head after being called, and now followed him closely.

After entering the office, Angela turned around again and looked at Tang Wei without saying a word.

Tang Wei lowered his head even lower, and as time went on, his body began to tremble slightly.

After a while, Angela spoke indifferently: "I don't want there to be a next time, Understand?"

"Yes, Madam!" Tang Wei shuddered and answered loudly.

"I want you to respect Xu Jiuyang as much as you respect me. Understand?" Angela said slowly.

"Yes, Madam!" Tang Wei answered loudly again, standing straighter.

"I want you to win him over at all costs, Understand?" Angela asked again.

"Yes, Madam!" Tang Wei still stood straight, her expression was extremely firm.

After a while, Angela nodded and said, "Very good. I will transfer Zhang Yunning over to assist you. You two should work together."

"Thank you, Madam!" Tang Wei smiled immediately, obviously very obedient to the discipline.

Angela nodded in satisfaction, waved her hand, and let her go to work.

Among the people currently available, although Tang Wei is a little stupid, he is the most obedient and the most proactive.

She discovered this idiot when she was simulating whether she could recruit Li An for her own use. Although he is a bit stupid, he is surprisingly useful as long as he completes the discipline. He will do whatever he is told and is very loyal.

It would be most appropriate to put such a person in a supervisory position. There is no need to make judgments or distinguish between loyalty and treachery. All he needs to do is report everything in detail and convey the boss's requirements clearly and without any compromise.

Don't think this is easy. Even Anne, the girl she brought up, would occasionally bring personal emotions into the message - well, it was mainly because she was more indulgent of her. After all, she was different.

In short, so far, the one who has done the best is Tang Wei.

"So, what kind of movie is it? Or that kind of movie? Wouldn't it be nice to be an assistant?" Angela shook her head.

Putting someone so obedient next to that guy, plus someone else trying to make amends, should be enough to offset the situation, right? Angela sighed. This was the disadvantage of being a latecomer. Even if the other two couldn't use some methods, Li Yunxin could use them without hesitation.

However, he also has unique advantages. At least in film and television production, he can give him a sense of accomplishment that no one else can give him.

Come up with those big projects in the future in advance, and then let him take charge of them without having to take any responsibility. Which man can resist such temptation?

The key is that he really has something in his head. He can hit the nail on the head on many things and provide corresponding solutions. This can also promote her plan to invest in China, thereby constantly changing and correcting her destiny, which can be said to kill several birds with one stone.

She even experimented with her enhanced skills.

Ten Thousand Ways to Be Charming (Alluring) · Enhancement: When negotiating with others, they tend to focus on your beauty and forget more important things. When Xu Jiuyang is around, they will pay more attention to him and further ignore important things.

She didn't notice whether their attention was on him during the meeting today, but it was indeed much easier to talk.

"Maybe it's just an illusion..." Angela muttered, but before she finished speaking she laughed at herself. What's the point?

However, before Xu Jiuyang left today, he did not ask about the situation of "Red Cliff", and it seemed that he did not believe that she would really invest in another big production.

"No rush, let's finish the 'Hero' project first, let him feel the power, and then... let's talk about bringing the Hollywood studio system here." Angela finally said to herself.

Yes, putting certain things aside, she was still very interested in his previous proposal.

So we also have to think about how to deal with the two other than Li Yunxin, especially the one who may come to the door recently. If we really want to do this, it is impossible to avoid the other party.

Angela didn't know that the reason someone didn't ask was simply because they forgot.

"It's me. I have some good news. Do you want to hear it?" Xu Jiuyang returned to his rental house and couldn't wait to take out his cell phone and make a call.

When he came out before, he couldn't help but want to make a phone call, but considering that there was a lot to say and he had to drive, he held back.

"What's up? Have you received the medical fee for classmate Xu?" Fan Qiaoqiao asked jokingly.

"Even if it's not accurate, it's not far off. Mr. Fan can ask Huo Siyan and others to notify him." Xu Jiuyang was somewhat proud.

"Really?" Although Fan Qiaoqiao used a question, his tone did not show that he was very surprised.

"I think I still have a little credibility, Mr. Fan," Xu Jiuyang reminded.

"How about this, you take some time to come over and ask Siyan to make preparations in person." Fan Qiaoqiao said.

"Is it necessary?" Xu Jiuyang was a little surprised.

"Yes, it's to establish your authority, and then let you do favors for her, so that people won't always talk behind your back. You know, the contract I customized for you before caused a lot of discussion internally. As the boss of the company, I still have to consider other people's feelings." Fan Qiaoqiao said confidently.

Xu Jiuyang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then when do you think is the right time?"

In order to help her get the role, I even wrote a script for her. I really should owe her a favor.

"Then let's do it next Thursday. You've already got the role of Yang Kang, and the crew of The Legend of the Condor Heroes is planning to hold a meeting that day." Fan Qiaoqiao said.

"Huh? You've got it? Why didn't anyone notify me?" Xu Jiuyang was very surprised.

"Aren't I informing you now? In short, after the meeting that day, you come to the company and tell us about this matter." Fan Qiaoqiao finalized it in a few words.

"Okay, okay..." Xu Jiuyang shrugged and settled the matter.

Who knew that just after I hung up the call, my phone rang again. When I looked at the caller ID, it was my girlfriend.

"Wife? You're coming back next week? Did you get Mu Nianci?!"
