The award ceremony ends, and it will be a celebration banquet for all walks of life. It will take at least two days to be quiet.

This year's Oscar has created many new things, but the media's comments are not good, and they all said: "It's surprisingly boring, it's really lifeless compared to last month's Grammy Awards."

"The opening song and dance are so bad that they will always be recorded in the embarrassing history of the Oscars. In particular, many people play around a huge golden statue, as if it was a golden calf."

"The Rain Man is well deserved!"

"Guess Chen's next script will sell for?"

In any case, this year's Oscar attracted an average of 42.68 million viewers, which is better than last year and the highest in five years, which is enough.

…………

April 1, the third day after the Oscar ended.

Jon Peters seemed to be immersed in the joy of victory. "Rain Man" was signed by his ex Price, but it doesn't matter, he won the award. Moreover, Colombia has half the copyright of "Rain Man", and the videotape can make a lot of money.

"Mr. President!"

"morning!"

"It's early!"

That day, Jon Peters came to the Columbia headquarters and greeted everyone. Cooper, the co-president, appeared, grabbed him, frowned and said, "You look shaky, and you went to the world of flowers and wine yesterday?"

"This is my normal life, what's the point of making a fuss?"

"You haven't been so often before. Since we took over the company, you have spent at nightclubs at least five days a week. This is not the way a president looks like. It's time for you to work."

"Man! We are running a Japanese company, why are we so serious? Haven't you also traveled around Denmark?"

"Well……"

Gu Bai is embarrassed. He is not as rich and squandering as the other party, but he likes to travel around the world. The first thing he does when he takes office is to travel with public funds. Anyway, no one can say anything about anyone.

"It's time for us to prepare our first project, come in with me!"

"Okay OK! Work!"

The division of labor between the two is: Jon Peters decides to shoot what to shoot, that is, the planning and the creative part; Guber is responsible for the specific implementation, that is, the execution part.

After entering the office, Gubai threw a script to him and said, "This is what you thought of before. Should we buy it?"

“…”

Jon Peters rubbed his temples and tried to regain his memory in a hangover. This is indeed a script I have read called "The Sea and the Sky", which is about the theme of child abuse.

"Of course I have to buy it. This is a good story, so we will give it to him...well, 500,000!"

"You haven't sobered up yet?"

Gu Bai widened his eyes and said, "A little screenwriter who is unknown, you give him 500,000?"

"After the screenwriter went on strike, the market rose! And I resonated with this story. I was abused when I was a child... It would be better to do this. Just let the screenwriter direct it and give him a director fee of 300,000 yuan, a total of 800,000 yuan!"

"Are you serious?"

Guber was judging whether he was joking and shouting: "Crazy, you are crazy! Why should we take the initiative to engage in this premium behavior?"

"I'll emphasize again, we are managing a Japanese company! Okay, that's it."

Gu Bai had no choice but to leave.

So, Colombia's first work after the change of ownership was settled in a sloppy manner, a floppy drama called "The Sea and the Sky" - the final box office was only 4.6 million.

Jon Peters didn't care, sat on the large and comfortable boss's chair, lit a cigar that was rubbed from the Cuban girl's thigh, and breathed in satisfaction.

"Those Brazilian girls yesterday are really good. Today I want to change my taste. I heard that Argentine girls are also very enthusiastic..."

"Do you want them to have a billiards game?"

To be honest, Jon Peters has good abilities, and he did it on purpose. The Japanese people can make good friends in Hollywood without spending money, so why not do it?

"Dingling!"

At this moment, the phone rang and the assistant reported: "Mr. Chen is here!"

"Please!"

"Hahaha, dear Chen!"

Jon Peters stood up to greet him, gave Chen Qi a big hug just in the door, and smiled and said, "You are finally here, we can finally talk privately. Oscars' occasions are too social."

"I've long wanted to talk to you about how it feels like to be the president of a big company?"

"Wow! It's hard to describe. I'm so glad I listened to your advice, otherwise wouldn't this location be cheap for others?"

"It seems you have a lot of experience?" Chen Qi said with a smile.

"certainly!"

Jon Peters talked about his private use of public instruments and how to act as a borer, including the just-finished "The Sea and the Sky", and he was very proud of himself.

Chen Qi frowned and said, "Jon, I have to remind you. There is a saying in China that fishes out of the water in the pond, which means draining the water in the pond and catching fish, only caring for immediate interests and not planning for the future.

This is wrong. Although the Japanese compromise, they will have a temper if you do too much. You don’t want to be fired soon, right?"

"How do you speak for the Japanese? I thought you hate them very much."

Jon Peters also did not hide his attitude towards the Japanese.

"Movies are a high-risk industry, but if you lose money from each department, your reputation in Hollywood will also be affected. People will think that you are not capable enough. I still hate Japanese people. I mean that this kind of opportunity is rare. We must consider it in the long run and fish in a sustainable way!"

“…”

Jon Peters was a little confused.

Chen Qi explained: "For example, if you lose money by doing a few movies, and if you make money by doing a few movies, it will be reasonable and can block the Japanese's mouth. If you lose less, you will lose more in the lower part. If you make a small profit in the lower part, you will continue to lose money. When the critical value comes, you will make a big profit... or if you lose money by the movie, but you have a good reputation and you will win the award, so you can also explain it.

The long-term solution is to pull them repeatedly and make them unable to stop!"

Hiss!

Jon Peters was sweating all over and thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Movies are not math problems. We cannot control whether it is a loss or a profit, let alone how much it is to lose or how much it is."

"Don't worry if I'm here!"

Chen Qi pointed at himself and smiled and said, "I can't be that accurate, but generally speaking, if I can decide whether a movie is a loss or a profit, it depends on whether you do it?"

"Of course I did it!"

Jon Peters said without hesitation: "I believe you have this ability, and I can quote you the first price now. On behalf of Colombia, I formally invite you a script. The subject matter is not limited, and the reward is no less than 2 million. Maybe 3 million, I still have to read your script."

grass!

If Chen Qi hadn't been able to become the president of Colombia, he would have become the president of Colombia by himself. It's really great!

The price is not outrageous. My script is well-known. I just won the second Oscar and caught the rise in the screenwriter's market. It's okay to get a maximum of 3 million. In 1992, the script "Instinct" was 3 million, which was the highest at that time.

"Yes, I'll pick it up!"

He nodded, and as such, he could get on the list of rich people by writing his own script, domestic ones.

"I still have a drama!"

Then, Chen Qi took out the outline of the story of "Myth" and said: "This is a touching love action story that travels through time and space. In ancient China more than 2,000 years ago, a general and a princess fell in love..."

Jon Peters sounds very abstract and asks: "You want me to invest? How to invest?"

"The budget is about 35 million US dollars, if you invest 25 million, I will give you the North American copyright."

As long as you are not a fool, you can swear with a look.

"Myth" focuses on the Asian market as soon as it sounds. The box office in North America is impossible to be good. Video tapes may be better, but the investment accounts for 70%. Only North American copyrights are obtained, and there is nothing else. Do you think the printing plane is available?

But Jon Peters asked seriously: "Is this a loss or a profit?"

"Strictly speaking, we may make a profit, you will definitely lose. But you will definitely make a profit from the script I gave you!"

"Then I'll vote!"

Jon Peters was unambiguous and immediately made the decision. He lost a few movies and earned a few movies. He thought what Chen Qi said was reasonable. He wanted to spend the money sustainably and he wanted to stay in the position of president for a long time.

“Happy cooperation!”

“Happy cooperation!”

The two shook hands in a collusion, and Chen Qi was extremely relieved. Oh! This is the best way to use Colombia.
Chapter completed!
