Chapter 924 So I'm the Super Rich
In addition to the two-day itinerary, Simon planned to visit China for a total of two weeks. After Yangshuo, he originally planned to visit other places, but the landscape is so beautiful. After experiencing such a scenery, there is no need to pay attention to the next level of scenery.
So I stayed for five days in total.
Rafting, dancing, climbing, tea tasting every day... I lingered.
The last stop before leaving is Shunan Bamboo Sea.
It's mainly because Janet wants to see it.
During the filming of "Food and Female" in 1993, Ang Lee began to conceive the script of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" but it was shelved because the conditions of all parties were not very mature. After the last meeting, Ang Lee stopped preparing for "Ice Storm" and began to turn to this movie. Because many details were brewing for a long time, the first draft of the script was completed in just over a week, and it came to Simon's side.
When Janet accompanied Simon to read the script on the terrace of the villa, she saw a man outlining the scene of the bamboo forest battle in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" on the manuscript. She also heard Simon talk about the vast and magnificent scenery of the bamboo sea, so she became interested in transferring positions.
Speaking of which, because of the release of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", China's bamboo sea landscape became famous both at home and abroad for a time, becoming a check-in place for many domestic and foreign tourists, and gradually evolved into one of the national tourism business cards. However, there are many statements about where the bamboo sea battle scenes of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" were filmed.
Because there are many bamboo sea landscapes in China, the bamboo sea in southern Shu is just one of them.
Simon doesn't have time to worry about this.
Since I have been to the bamboo sea in southern Shu, I will make a decision directly.
This vast bamboo sea, covering an area of more than 120 square kilometers, not only has natural bamboo scenery, but also has strange peaks, hanging walls, mountains, streams, and quiet lakes under the creation of heaven and earth. It also has various ancient temples, mountain residences, pavilions and towers under the accumulation of thousands of years of history, which fully meets all the filming needs of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in memory.
Therefore, after arriving, Simon directly asked someone to take a batch of photos and pass them over to Ang Lee.
Saturday, May 4th.
After seeing the scenery of the bamboo sea, this trip to China has come to an end. We come and return with excitement.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the Westeros family's private Boeing 767 took off from Chengdu without any stopping and flew directly to Los Angeles across the ocean. Before that, the core of the Westeros system that visited China last week had returned, including a US government delegation headed by the Secretary of Commerce.
Inside the cabin of Boeing 767.
With an estimated 15 hours of flight time, Simon also began to re-enter his working state.
"The cooperation agreement between Levison Group and Hilton Hotel Group has been reached and will be signed next Monday. Walmart has contacted Levison Group in recent days and hopes to negotiate on the establishment of a Beijing branch at Levison International Center. Levison Group has disputes over this project. Walmart's entry will bring a large amount of passenger flow, but it will also lower the style of Levison International Center. In addition, there is a list of all companies that have reached their intention to enter."
"China has basically agreed to Mr. Mickey Kanter's three conditions on the film industry, and it is expected to be implemented with China's latest "Movie Management Regulations" at the end of this month. Boss, we have obtained an internal manuscript of the "Movie Management Regulations". The formal provisions should not change much. I have marked some of them."
"Verisson Telecom's first edition prospectus is scheduled to submit sec next week, which is a content document sent there, and has been marked."
"Brant completed the residents' negotiations around the headquarters of the fusiontimes company, and also has the latest resumes of the clerks who were shortlisted for the last interview. I helped the boss arrange the in-person interview schedule for next Wednesday."
"Kevin Watson, an engineer at Spacex, proposed a plan to build a simulated rocket launch system, which can concentrate all the hardware and software required for rocket launch into a simulation system for thousands of virtual launches to test component performance at the lowest cost. The engineer proposed this plan during Nasa and was rejected many times. However, the Spacex team agreed that the program is very usable and can help test most of the accessories produced by Spacex, and jointly compressed the initial $7 million budget to, well... $1.2 million. Among them, Watson has personally compiled a set of aerospace electronic system software with a budget of only $10,000. I have checked that the budget for similar projects in Nasa is $10 million."
"This information comes from a coffee plantation in Angola, Africa. According to the report of Mr. Victor Merisis, as of the end of April, the first batch of 50,000 acres of coffee seedlings had been completed, with a total cost of US$7.35 million. It is expected that the remaining 100,000 acres of land will be developed and planted in the same period next year, because the foundations of agricultural machinery purchase and human cultivation have been laid this year. Mr. Merisisis expects that only US$10 million will be required to complete the entire planting work next year. In addition, before the first batch of coffee harvest in 1999, about US$5 million will be invested every year."
"Mr. Anthony Johnston sent a privatization bidding document for the Vale in Brazil. Japan is very determined to be the main competitor of Johnston Holdings. I suggest that the boss try to use Washington's connections. Now that the US-Japan trade relations are incurred, Washington certainly does not want Japan to control a large mining giant."
"Igrit Company and the International Olympic Committee have reached a youtube broadcast agreement for previous Olympic events videos. The youtube platform did not pay the fee, but promised to promote resources and provide long-term advertising for Fengcheng. In addition, the youtube platform has quickly negotiated that more than 150 top athletes in various fields have entered the youtube platform."
"And, well, an email from the White House asked the boss about his views on the recent Nasdaq trend. This should be a continuation of the call a few days ago."
“…”
“…”
"Finally, here in Hollywood, "One Day" led by Emmerich will start filming next week. There will be a pre-start cocktail party in Los Angeles tonight, hosted by MGM. It will mainly host investors from all parties including "One Day". Ms. Lansing hopes that the boss can attend tonight."
"The crew of "Tornado" has entered Iowa and will officially start filming next week."
"The set of Titanic on the Gold Coast has been completed, but Mr. Cameron has developed some ideas about special effects and is experimenting with Daenerys' special effects team, with the start date delayed until next month."
“And, this is a list of movie schedules for this summer.”
Simon sat behind the desk in the study in the front cabin, listening to a girl quickly introducing the list of documents that he needed to review. Two large stacks of documents were piled up on the desk in front of him that might not be able to finish reading in 15 hours.
After the girl finally stopped reporting, Simon had read the first business document about Levison International Center. He held a pen and marked a few words on the document, and handed it to Alison: "Tell Levison Group that Walmart must be won, and we don't need to position such boring things with the International Trade Center."
A girl nodded and said, "Boss, I think I can neutralize it and put Walmart on the underground floor. There are such underground supermarkets in New York and London. They can make the most of the space and the rent is also quite affordable. I think Walmart, which attaches great importance to cost control, will definitely be willing. The above-ground part can still maintain the entry specifications of the Levison International Center."
Simon just opened the second "Movie Management Regulations" document, and when he heard this, he looked up at Alison, and smiled, "I think you should be responsible for this project, there are a bunch of idiots over there."
A girl bent her mouth in cooperation, but she didn't say anything.
Levison International Center is currently only a preliminary plan. The specific design needs to start after roughly finalizing potential users. There are still two years left to start construction. It is easy to join a plan to add a supermarket on the underground level. After a little consideration, Simon nodded and said, "Just do it like that, tell the other side, just say that this idea was proposed by me, so that the group of idiots can reflect on themselves, so I am the super rich."
"Okay, boss."
"In addition, I will show off the cocktail party you just mentioned in the evening."
The west coast of the United States happens to be 15 hours later than China. Simon arrived in Los Angeles, which was still Saturday afternoon and the evening cocktail party would not be delayed.
A girl wrote down quickly on the memo again.
Simon thought about it again and said, "About the three reforms of China's film industry, nothing unexpected happens. I think it is China Film and Television that will lead the establishment of the first cinema chain. You ask Amy to contact China Film and Television and invite them to visit the United States. The Auden Cinema, a subsidiary of Daenerys Entertainment, can also provide them with theater management system software."
Alison did not nod immediately, but said, "Boss, I think we can go to the next level and invite senior executives of the Radio and Television Department in charge of the film and television industry in China to conduct an investigation, and directly promote the entire network of Chinese theater ticketing systems. I have recently checked China's theater industry. Because it is basically state-owned, this matter can be achieved without relying on the theater system. Moreover, China's basic communication network has been connected across the country. The Shanghai Data Center to be opened can provide data storage and information processing for this project, and there are no obstacles in software and hardware. China is now eager to promote the development of the information industry. Complete this project will also be a very important political achievement for the responsible officials."
"At the same time, it will offend many people," Simon thought about the local theater where the ticket sales system was connected to the Internet because he could not hide the box office. However, he couldn't hate him anyway, so he said, "That's it. Remember to tell there that I proposed this idea, so I am a super rich man."
A girl gave someone a light glance, lowered her head and wrote down the matter on the memo.
Simon has quickly browsed the terms marked by the red pen in the "Movie Management Regulations" that the "Showing Units' annual screening of domestic films shall not be less than 2/3 of the total annual screening time" and felt that Alison looked at himself again and said with a smile: "So, do you have any suggestions about the president's email?"
A girl shook her head this time: "Nasdaq has now entered an out-of-control state, and it is the best choice for us to not interfere. Otherwise, if the operation is inappropriate, no one can bear this responsibility."
"Then please help me respond to Mr. President. I just say that I am optimistic about the future trend of Nasdaq. Anyway, he only hopes that Nasdaq will last through November. As long as the Republican Party does not come out to make trouble, this should be fine."
"Boss, it's enough to just say half of it, there's no need to say it later."
"Of course, do you still need me to remind you? It's so stupid. No wonder you can't be a super rich man like me."
A girl pretended to be angry and curled her lips to someone, continued to write down the memo, and looked at Simon again.
Simon thought for a while and said, "That's all for the time being, let's talk about the others after I finish reading these documents."
Alison nodded, turned around and quietly exited the study.
Perhaps because of his inertia, he became out of control when he got to work. During this period, he had a plane meal that he didn't know what it was. Janet ran to sleep and then came to see him. Simon was still sitting at his desk. The voyage had passed 10 hours, so he rushed him to bed.
When Janet woke up, the plane was already over the west coast of the United States.
After a simple washing and cleaning, I found a fixed seat and fastened my seat belt. The Boeing 767 began to lower the height and landed smoothly on the Los Angeles National Airport runway in a few minutes.
After leaving for two weeks, I didn’t feel like I had a long time to return to my hometown, but I was a little bit of a little pleasing to the country and leave my hometown.
The security team and the maid guard who had been with him for two weeks were on holiday on the spot. The new team sent by Dumei Point Manor took over the follow-up. Jennifer also came to pick him up. Janet, um, haha, talking about the various trivial matters of his trip to China. But Simon remembered to ask what the five little guys are doing recently?
Of course it's okay.
Veronica was watching at home before she came to pick someone up.
Um.
Simon and his wife were not here, Veronica came from Australia and has been helping take care of the children at Dumei Point Manor in the past half month.
Sofia also came to stay for a few days.
Because it's Saturday, I'm all at home.
Melbourne is still dependent on Veronica.
Seattle still looked very cold, holding a large encyclopedia that was completely unsuitable to her age.
Nick still tends to use her little white teeth for everything.
The last twins still remembered their father. When Simon picked him up, they would even call him someone. As expected, the IQ seemed to be a little higher than both brothers, but they were not as good as their second sister. This was great.
I spent the afternoon happily with my family, accompanied the children to put out gifts, talked about recent trivial matters with Jennifer, and also looked at my eldest son’s recent homework as if he were a decent one, and had dinner together in the evening.
It was not until 8 o'clock in the evening that a girl came over to ask if she wanted to go to a certain cocktail party that she remembered.
Barrier to Century City.
After all, this cocktail party deals with the behind-the-scenes investor who designed a package plan for overseas film capital after Simon's crushing defeat in "Cut Throat Island". As the helmist, he always has to show off his hope.
Among the five projects, "Span-Sperm 2" has started filming and is expected to be released during Easter next year. Roland Emmeric's "One Day" is the highlight of next summer, and then Robert Zemegis will be scheduled for "Space-Time Contact" at the end of next year.
These are three of the first five packages.
According to the production plan, the remaining two films will not be launched next year and will be released in 1998.
The entire plan is also the focus of MGM's business in addition to the Agent Film Universe. As long as it is successfully promoted, MGM will basically be able to completely recover its vitality.
Chapter completed!
