"Uh~~~~Tell me, what happened?" After calling Li Jiaxin to sit on the sofa, Zhang Wen asked patiently.
"My father left and took away 5.5% of the money I earned. Now my creditors are coming to collect debts. My mother has suffered a lot." Li Jiaxin said with tears in her eyes.
"How much is it? I'll lend it to you first." Zhang Wen took out the checkbook.
"No, I want to be your concubine." Li Jiaxin still insisted.
"Think it over carefully when you go back. Don't sell yourself out for money. This is 100 million. Is it enough?" While speaking, Zhang Wen still signed a check for 100 million.
"I have thought it through a long time ago. I don't want to live in poverty anymore. This is the fastest way. I don't regret it." Li Jiaxin was stubborn and refused to listen to any advice.
"Haha, you use the money to pay off the debt first, and then think about it carefully. If you still want to make this decision, then you can come home with me. It will only work if the ladies can accept you." Zhang Wen said with a smile.
Chapter 327: The Hulk is released
[Sorry, I have a bad cold and feel dizzy. I insisted on finishing it, so I am late! ...]
Li Jiaxin did not pass the assessment of the wives because no matter which one of them was forced by Zhang Wen, even if they were, they were only half-hearted and truly liked him.
But what Li Jiaxin said was not like that, and her act of forcing her way into the queue really made them unhappy, and they all felt that she was too utilitarian.
Even if everyone knows it, there is no need to talk about it.
Although Li Jiaxin is indeed very beautiful, she is definitely one of the most beautiful ladies among all the ladies.
But Zhang Wen also felt that the little girl was too goal-oriented and was not a good partner, so he fully respected the wives' decisions.
Although Li Jiaxin was disappointed, with 100 million yuan, he basically solved the crisis at home, and he also bought a house for his family.
However, what was very weird was that her mother thought that Zhang Wen had already taken a fancy to her and she would move out soon, so she didn't even prepare a room for her.
This is also her own fault. She did not say that the money was borrowed, but said that it was given by Zhang Wen.
She had no way of explaining herself and could only apply to live in the company's dormitory.
Zhang Wen had no knowledge of these things. After giving her 100 million yuan, he no longer cared about it.
He has a pair of children at home and he is busy playing with them all day long, so how can he have time to take care of her affairs?
Zhang Wen also took Zhang Wu to the Disney in the space, but there were no operators, so he couldn't operate many machines, so he could only play on the slides and the like.
As a result, he had no choice but to arrange personnel to contact Disney, hoping to settle this big project in Hong Kong as soon as possible.
Disney was delighted when it learned that the richest Chinese man came to negotiate, but immediately became unhappy after learning about Zhang Wen's conditions.
Because Zhang Wen’s condition was that he would make the investment, but would use Disney’s name and equipment, and the same went for the personnel. However, after receiving the annual licensing fee, Disney would provide training for the personnel.
This is a bit like a franchisee, and Disney's senior management is a little hesitant. On the one hand, they want to expand Disney's influence, and on the other hand, they don't want to lose control.
But Zhang Wen knew in his heart that if it was a directly-operated store model, Hong Kong Disneyland would definitely lose money, because as long as Disney's own people were used, the high management costs would make it strange if it didn't lose money.
The two sides were deadlocked on this point, but Zhang Wen was not in a hurry. If they couldn't come to an agreement, he could just build one himself.
They stayed in Hong Kong until almost the middle of the year, when Brooke Stoudemire gave birth and Zhang Wen had another beautiful mixed-race daughter.
To be on the safe side, Zhang Wen set up a trust fund for each of his three children.
He put 10 billion Hong Kong dollars in each fund. Every year, the mother of three children can receive 3% annualized Hong Kong dollars, which is almost 3000 million or even more a year.
This annual amount of money will not be handed over to the three people until they reach adulthood, and it can be passed down from generation to generation.
As for withdrawing the money, no one else is qualified to withdraw it unless Zhang Wen gives the order.
The foundation is run by professionals from Huake Bank, who will buy some very safe government bonds. The returns will definitely be higher than the annualized rate, which can fully guarantee that the money in the fund will increase.
Moreover, this trust fund will continue to operate even if Huake Bank does not exist.
When the three mothers learned about it, they were so moved that they burst into tears.
Because this move can fully guarantee that the mother and child will have a rich life in this life, and even in the next life.
This made the other wives extremely envious, and they began to exploit Zhang Wen ruthlessly.
It was not until the premiere of the two films "The Incredible Hulk" and "Empire of the Sun" that Zhang Wen was able to get away and fly to California.
Originally he thought Brooke Stoudemire would come along, but what he didn't expect was that Stoudemire's mother was reluctant to leave her child and had also become accustomed to life in Hong Kong, so she was determined not to leave.
This left him with no choice but to bring along the little girl, Julie. After all, she also had a part in the performance and had been away from home for quite some time, so at least he could let her meet Marcheline.
However, it is worth mentioning that Julie has changed a lot during this period. She is no longer the tomboy she used to be and has become much more ladylike.
Especially his Cantonese has improved a lot, and he can have simple communication with Zhang Wen now.
But her kung fu skills have not declined at all, and she has made great progress. She is almost becoming a young martial artist.
Her biggest improvement is in her acting skills. It has to be said that with a father who is a movie emperor, her genes are still very strong.
When studying with the training class members, even the teacher couldn't help but praise me.
She became much more cheerful and became even more intimate with Zhang Wen, snuggling into his arms from time to time.
Sometimes it makes Li Meizhen a little jealous.
Li Meizhen flew away a few days after returning from Lanai Island.
There was no way out. Her father, Li Jianxi, the vice president of Samsung, had already begun training her to be the successor. He would not let her go even during holidays and wanted her to receive an American elite education.
Sitting in the main screening room of AMC Theaters in Los Angeles, Zhang Wen held Sharma's hand and sat in the back row with director Lucas and leading actor Bruce, so as to observe the audience's reactions.
"A 65% attendance rate is pretty good. As long as the reputation remains good, we shouldn't lose money." Lucas and Zhang Wen said softly.
"This is a pioneering work. It will definitely scare the audience. I predict the box office will reach hundreds of millions." Zhang Wen said confidently.
“Are you so confident?” Lucas was stunned, looking a little unbelievable.
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have set up a special effects company to do this." Zhang Wen nodded.
"Well, I hope so. I don't want to lose money, haha." As one of the investors, Lucaqi certainly wants to make money.
"It should be fine. If it weren't for the overspending of 2000 million, there would be no problem at all." Zhang Wen said bitterly.
"Well, all the money was spent on special effects. You don't want to mess up your first work, do you?" Lucas said awkwardly.
"Of course, that's why I allowed the overspending. Okay, let's stop talking and start." Zhang Wen interrupted the topic when he saw the DreamWorks logo appearing on the big screen.
Zhang Wen patted Sharma, who was so nervous that she exerted force, and comforted her with a smile. As for Bruly, who was also nervous, he could do nothing to help her.
Zhang Wen has already seen the sample film. Compared with the original film released in 2003, the special effects are inferior, but this was 87, so it was already very shocking.
Moreover, that film cost 1.3 million US dollars, and Zhang Wen only spent 5000 million, which is more than half less.
However, when the original film was released, it sold 2.45 million US dollars, which can definitely be called a successful science fiction film.
I wonder if this movie, which is released in advance, can bring a surprise to Zhang Wen.
Chapter 328 Visiting the Eagle Project (Delayed by Fever)
As expected, the special effects of the Hulk really achieved a shocking effect.
The four people were in the screening room and could hear the audience's exclamations from time to time. It was worth it that Zhang Wen invested an extra 2000 million US dollars in this film.
Especially those tanks, helicopters and fighter jets, they are all real. Except for the destroyed tanks which were built 1:1, the others were rented from the US military. This item alone cost 500 million US dollars.
After the film ended, there was applause from the audience. It was a success. The premiere was a success.
Sharma couldn't help but give Zhang Wen a deep kiss, not caring that there were other people around.
Lucas and Bruce were equally excited. Who doesn't want the movie they make to be a high box office success?
After that, good news came every day. One month later, the global box office accumulated 2 million US dollars, which was beyond Zhang Wen's expectations.
With another film ranking among the top five box office of the year, DreamWorks has finally established its foothold.
The most outstanding one is Vinx Animation, the special effects are too amazing.
I guess it’s another little golden man.
If Toy Story does well at the box office in the second half of the year, Vinx will definitely be very busy in the future, as there is a lot of special effects work to do in movies.
As The Incredible Hulk was taken off the screen, Empire of the Sun began to be released.
The North American box office was not ideal, only 2500 million US dollars, but the critics who watched the movie gave it good reviews.
Apart from the North American box office, the box office in other regions has achieved good results.
Even in Japan, I guess they would buy tickets to see any movie made by America. The box office of 20 billion yen, equivalent to more than 1300 million US dollars, is a very good result.
After that it was released in China. However, the original time and space did not get the chance to be released due to script issues.
But the revised script this time was another big production, and it also publicized the Chinese people's original anti-Japanese achievements.
It directly took 7000 million box office, which is a terrifying result. You have to know that the average ticket price in China is only 3 cents. A box office of 7000 million means at least million moviegoers.
From this point of view, the domestic entertainment industry is indeed extremely scarce and is just beginning to develop.
However, this result made Spielberg smile from ear to ear. Combined with other regions, the overall box office performance reached 1 million US dollars. Excluding the share with the theaters, it can finally be guaranteed to break even.
This was originally a film that wanted to win awards, and it’s pretty good to be able to guarantee a profit.
And it's a film with a child as the protagonist.
Little Bell became famous overnight.
With such fame, the box office of "Home Alone" is expected to increase significantly.
The director of "Home Alone" finally found Chris Columbus, but Wu Yusen was afraid that he could not grasp the humor of Westerners, so he refused to direct.
It just so happened that he was asked to direct "Die Hard" and Bruce Willis happened to have a free time.
For this kind of heroic gun battle film, Wu Yusen was no problem at it and he gladly took over the role.
Spielberg has already started preparing for "Jurassic Park", and the filming location has been confirmed, which is Zhang Wen's Lanai Island.
The land is vast and the population is sparse, which is just right.
Moreover, after the filming is completed, the props used can be used to build a dinosaur park.
However, this film was destined not to be completed so quickly. The budget cost reached 5000 million US dollars. This is because it is a local production. Otherwise, the venue fee alone would be a considerable investment.
"Once Upon a Time in China" was also filmed on the island. The indigenous people on the island were all ready-made extras, which also helped them generate income.
"Project Condor" was filmed in Spain and China, and the foreign actors were selected locally in Hong Kong.
There is no need to go to Morocco this time. Even if all the sets are built in the Moroccan style, it will still be cheaper than going to that damn place.
It can also boost the local economy, so why not do it?
After returning from the United States, Zhang Wen went directly to the filming location, Yinchuan’s Zhenbeibao.
In order to shoot this film, Zhang Wen specially built a film and television city in Zhenbeibao.
Among them are buildings with strong African style, as well as renovations based on the original ancient buildings. Similar films can be shot here in the future.
For example, the classic work "A Chinese Odyssey", but we still have to wait a few years.
If you shoot now, you will definitely lose money.
At night, after a long journey of more than 500 kilometers, Zhang Wen's convoy finally drove into Zhenbeibao in Yinchuan City.
There was no other way. The nearest airport was in Baotou, which meant we were across a province. When we first came here to shoot the scene, all the cars had to drive all the way here, which took four days.
Zhang Wenke doesn't have the patience to travel on the road for four days.
"Unload all the meat and start grilling directly." After getting off the car, Zhang Wen twisted his waist and started asking people to grill the beach sheep he bought on the road.
"Boss, it's not easy, right?" Seeing Zhang Wen rubbing his waist, Cheng Long came over with a smile.
"...No matter how difficult it is, it's better than going to Africa." Zhang Wen said with a roll of his eyes.
"Haha, that's true. It's just that the people here are a little too enthusiastic. There are thousands of people watching every day." Cheng Long nodded and smiled.
"As long as it doesn't delay the progress, how about we have a night scene tonight?" Zhang Wen asked, looking at the busy crew members.
"Yes, in the big hotel." Cheng Long nodded.
"Okay, the beach lamb we bought on the road can be used as a midnight snack." Zhang Wen said, pointing to the pieces of lamb taken out from the trunk.
"That's great, boss. You never forget to eat wherever you go." Cheng Long said happily.
"That's right. My dream since childhood is to be a chef. What about Amei and Caicai?" Zhang Wen asked.
"Rest in the room, that one. We don't know what time we'll finish filming at night." Cheng Long pointed to a room on the first floor.
"Okay, I'll go over and take a look." Zhang Wen said and walked over directly.
Without knocking, Zhang Wen opened the door directly.
"Ah~~" What caught Zhang Wen's eyes was a naked woman.
