Chapter 6 Japan

Chen Chong came to Boston, not just to bring Li Kaiyuan to meet his elders, he had something else to do

There is a good line from the movie - where there are people, there are worlds.

After the "Beautiful Island" incident broke out, Taiwanese immigrants and international students in the United States were divided into several factions, including those who supported the Kuomintang, those who supported the "Beautiful Island", those who supported the unification, and those who supported the reliance of the wind and the wind...

Monsters and monsters appeared one after another. In Los Angeles on the west coast, the most popular one is Xu Xinliang, the president of "Beautiful Island" magazine. When the incident broke out, he happened to be on vacation in the United States and escaped from prison. He is a relatively firm unification faction, so Chen Chong was not stingy with sponsorship and supported him to rerun "Beautiful Island" in Los Angeles. Of course, sponsorship is in the name of a wallet foundation, and the way it is secret.

In Boston on the East Coast, the person who attracted the most attention was Ma Jiuying. At this time, he was studying for a doctorate at Harvard University and worked as part-time editor of "Boston Communications". This is a publication with an official background in the Kuomintang. His butt determines his head. As an authentic second-generation official, Ma Jiuying naturally supported the Kuomintang government in the publication and criticized "Beautiful Island". Because of his good writing, he successfully attracted the attention of the highest level of Taiwan and laid the foundation for entering the political arena in the future.

Ma Jiuying is born, has no shortage of education, ability, charm, and interpersonal relationships. No matter whether he can still take the so-called "president" position in the future, he is a talent worthy of winning. Moreover, for a time travel party, training Ma Niang Ma is a very interesting thing, more interesting than training a hundred beauties.

It was not difficult for Chen Chong to find Ma Jiuying at all. His wife was Zhang Aijia's elementary school classmate. She could handle it with just one phone call, and then held a banquet to invite her. After several conversations, she quickly brought each other closer together.

Boston has a large number of famous schools and a strong cultural atmosphere. In addition to Ma Jiuying, there are many outstanding Chinese media practitioners. Shen Chong is in need of such talents.

After staying in Boston for a week, Chen Chong boarded the flight with satisfaction - not flying to Hong Kong, but Japan.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Li." Zeng Lizhen put down the welcome sign in her hand, stepped forward and smiled and said, "Sister Tianbao, can I help you carry your luggage?"

"Sister Zhen, don't worry about her." Zeng Lizhen was Chen Chong's earliest secretary. Li Kaiyuan naturally knew him. She smiled and said, "There are only a few toys in her bag, which are very light."

"Yes, sister, it's very light." With her sister present, Tianbao has always been very well-behaved. She raised the cartoon bag she bought from Disneyland and said, "I can take it."

Getting into the car and on the way to the hotel, Shen Chong asked, "Sister Zhen, how are you talking to Yamaguchi Momoe?"

"Mr. Chen, I'm about to report to you." Zeng Lizhen drove the car and said, "Yamaguchi Momoe herself has no objection, but her agency company is too difficult."

"Sister Zhen." Tianbao is a star-chasing person. She lay on the back of the front chair and asked excitedly: "Do you know Yamaguchi Momoe? Can you take me to see her?"

"Tianbao, don't interrupt, Sister Zhen is talking about the serious business." Li Kaiyuan pulled her back to the seat and reminded him: "How many times have you said it, don't lie down like this. It was like this last time. My head was broken and I still don't have a memory."

"Sister, Yamaguchi Momoeya." Tianbao ignored the lesson and held her hand and said coquettishly: "When we watched "Blood Suspicion" together, you liked her very much. Can we go and take a photo with her?"

"Don't worry, she will go to Hong Kong to film in a while, and you can take a photo at that time." Chen Chong rubbed her head indulgently and asked, "What do you say about her economic company?"

"They have a big talk and they need a $3 million salary. And we have to be responsible for the food and accommodation costs of Yamaguchi Momoe's assistant, makeup artist, and nanny." Zeng Lizhen was full of resentment. She complained: "Not only Yamaguchi Momoe, these entourages also have to live in five-star hotels. There are also independent rest rooms on the set. There are many conditions such as working no more than Uj every day, which is very annoying. Mr. Chen, why don't you transfer me back and change someone to negotiate?"

Chen Chong laughed twice and said, "It is your suggestion to let Yamaguchi Momoe play the heroine of "Die Hard". You are not responsible, who is responsible?"

"Mr. Chen, you can consider other conditions." Zeng Lizhen saw that there was no hope of substitution, so she asked, "But can you agree to the 3 million US dollars in salary?"

"You can measure this yourself, I don't care." Chen Chong hugged his arms and said, "I have already handed over the budget for "Die Hard" to your production department. I won't interfere. Besides, this is not the first time you have been a producer, so you should have a bill in your heart."

"Compared with "Die Hard", the movies I used to make are all children playing houses." Zeng Lizhen said helplessly: "The cost of those movies is not $3 million. If she is given $3 million, if she loses after the movie is released, I have to jump into the sea."

"It's not that serious." Chen Chong smiled and said, "Even if you lose, it's me, not you."

"Mr. Chen, in the company, I have been with you the longest. If the matter is done, I will not have the face to survive." At this time, I encountered a traffic jam. Zeng Lizhen parked the car on the tail of the long dragon, and then turned around and said, "Mr. Chen, please save me, why don't you give me some advice? I'm going to be anxious."

"I don't understand the movie, you have to ask him." Li Kaiyuan smiled and shied, saying, "A Chong always does this. He just starts everything, moves his mouth and then goes to play other things, regardless of his life or death."

"I have so many things, so how can I care about it?" Chen Chong said helplessly, "Gary Kurz is the executive producer, what did he say?"

"He said he had just come to Oriental and didn't understand the market for Japanese actors, so he asked me to make my own decisions."

"Didn't he tell you, in Hollywood, the program to set the actors' pay?"

"I said that, based on the actor's market influence and the predicted box office of the movie." Zeng Lizhen also smiled bitterly, and she explained in detail: "Yamaguchi Momoe is very popular and is the number one national idol in Japan. According to the information provided by Fei Xiaodie, we predict that if she plays the heroine of "Die Hard", the box office in Japan should be between UU and 10 UU, and her previous pay was less than 1 million US dollars. It would be profitable to ask her to act. Now it costs 3 million. After the box office share, we will lose a lot."

After saying that, she folded her hands together and begged: "Mr. Chen, you can do it, save me."

Chen Chong glanced at Che Long who could not see the end, then smiled and said, "Okay, for your loyalty, I will teach you a trick."

"Brother-in-law, you are so embarrassed." Before Tianbao finished speaking, he was slapped by Li Kaiyuan. She immediately changed her words and said, "Brother-in-law, you are so handsome."

There was laughter in the car.

"Momoe Yamaguchi is very popular." After laughing, Chen Chong said, "Then her advertising fee must be not cheap, and there must be many companies looking for her to advertise, right?"

Zeng Lizhen nodded.

"That's not simple." Chen Chong said: "You take the movie plan for Die Hard, find a few companies to beg for alms, ask them to pay for sponsorship and pay for films, and then we give Yamaguchi Momoe a few shots of their products in the movie."

Zeng Lizhen thought something, and Li Kaiyuan asked in surprise: "Is this OK?"

"Of course." Chen Chong gave an example: "For example, if your toy company pays 100,000 yuan, then I will put a Rubik's cube on Yamaguchi Momoe's desk in the movie. If you pay 500,000 yuan, then I will give her a scene of playing Rubik's cube in the movie. If you pay 1 million yuan, I will not only let her play Rubik's cube, but I will also let her say a few lines related to Rubik's cube. If you pay 3 million yuan, I will not only let her say lines, but I will also set Rubik's cube as a key prop in the electricity."

"We have the producer of Star Wars, the professional special effects team in Hollywood, the explosion scene of the tallest building in Asia, the Japanese national idol, an investment of up to 10UU, and it will be released on a large scale in Japan and the United States." Chen Chong said with his finger: "With so many gimmicks, the market influence will definitely not be low, the advertising effect is better than that of TV stations, and it covers more groups. Do you think those companies are interested?"

At this time, the marketing techniques of built-in advertising in the movie cannot be said to be lacking, but even in Hollywood, it is only occasionally done and is not systematic. Therefore, Chen Chong's words made Zeng Lizhen suddenly realize. She admired her and said with a gaze: "Mr. Chen, you are so amazing, you are really worthy of being the reincarnation of the God of Wealth."

Chen Chong just smiled at this and said, "I suggest you just need to find two or three companies. If there are too many, it will destroy the plot of the movie. It is best to have trendy brands such as multinational clothing, beverages, and electrical appliances, which are easy to stuff into the movies. Moreover, their annual advertising budget is very high and easy to talk about, such as rich people such as Coca-Cola, Sony, and Panasonic Electric."

"Mr. Chen said," Zeng Lizhen took out the paper and pen from his pocket and said, "I will write it down first and start talking to them tomorrow."

Chen Chong waited until she finished writing her experience before continuing, "Sister Zhen, don't you blame me for demoting you, right?"

"How can it be?" Zeng Lizhen said quickly: "I only realized how bad I did at the beginning with Mr. Kurtz. I can still stay in the company now. I have to thank Mr. Chen for giving me the opportunity."

"Sister Zhen, you are too modest. All the previous movies were done well." Zeng Lizhen was a direct descendant, so Chen Chong didn't hide it from her and said, "Kurz is a foreigner. He has been there for a short time. Follow him and learn more about management. When "Die Hard" is filmed, I will give you an independent production drama. After he leaves, you will become the manager of the production department."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen."

"Of course, if Sister Zhen has the intention to go out and make a move," Chen Chong said with a smile: "Tell me in advance, and I will support you too."

"Mr. Chen was joking." Zeng Lizhen immediately expressed her loyalty and said, "Unless Mr. Chen drove me away, I would not leave."

Tianbao's black eyes turned around and suddenly said, "The person who is born is his brother-in-law, and the person who dies is his brother-in-law's ghost."
