Chapter 215 Above the Meeting
What is a small shrimp eating a big whale.

The Twilight Saga is!
With a cost of 3700 million U.S. dollars, this amount of money is a proper B-level movie in Hollywood.

It's not that Dachang doesn't like B-grade movies, but Dachang doesn't like teen-oriented movies like "Twilight".

Hollywood is now in the era of big IP, and youth books like "Twilight" cannot be on the table.

But this year's "Twilight Saga" has taught all major manufacturers a lesson.

On the first day of its release on Friday, it won a box office of 3587 million U.S. dollars, and expanded to 3419 theaters in the first week, earning 7055 million U.S. dollars.

James Bond was unhappy for a few days before the record was broken by a group of 20-year-old vampires.

The big sale of "Twilight Saga" was expected by Cheng Yu'an, and Bob yelled on the phone, but Cheng Yu'an didn't listen.

"Cheng, you are such a magical oriental!" Bob kept praising Cheng Yu'an's sharp eyesight on the phone.

Everyone was not optimistic about "Twilight", but he was the only one who took it down.

"How about the second part of Twilight?" Cheng Yu'an asked.

"Already working on the script, and the filming will start in March next year." Bob added, "Cheng, Universal wants to join the second part of Twilight."

After "Twilight Saga" exploded, Hollywood has been eyeing this piece of meat.

Cheng Yuan knew that he could not take it all by himself, and had to share the cake. This is also a very important point in business: "Cooperation is no problem, but we must ensure our own profits."

"I understand that." After all, Bob is a very competent professional manager.

The news of "The Twilight Saga" spread back to China, but there was no response from the audience.

After all, there is little interest in a foreign vampire movie.

But in the circle, from the General Administration to China Film to private enterprises such as Huayi, Guangxian, and Xiaoma, everyone marveled at Cheng Yu'an's vicious vision and decisive action.

"Good guy! "Iron Man" was hit by him, and so was "Kung Fu Panda". Now he can even make a bloody vampire romance movie."

"His investment in "Iron Man" and "Kung Fu Panda" accounted for more than 30%, and "Twilight" is an exclusive project of his company. He paid at least 1 million US dollars for each movie. How much money does he have!"

The same question also came from my girlfriend.

Liu Yifei is now straddling Cheng Yuan's lap, threatening: "Say! How much money do you have!"

"I do not know."

"You still say you don't know!" Liu Yifei slapped Cheng Yu'an's thigh hard, "Be lenient when you confess, and strict when you resist! Say it!"

"I really don't know! Don't you know all the money in my passbook, bank card and credit card?"

"Who asked you how many millions. I mean, you have dividends for the shares of several companies!"

"I really don't know this!" Cheng Yu'an really didn't know!In the first two years, he would still calculate how much money he had, and then look at the income silly, and later, as he was in the stock markets of the two countries, especially when the financial crisis broke out this year, he bought some stocks with his spare money, and he was even more worthless. Know how much money you have.

As for the company's dividends and movie accounts, some went into the company's public account, and some went into Cheng Yu'an's personal account. A sum came every three to five months. Cheng Yu'an watched it once a year, and it was fine after watching it.

"I really don't know?" Liu Yifei stared at him.

"I don't know." Cheng Yu'an shook his head honestly.

Seeing that Cheng Yu'an didn't seem to be lying to herself, Liu Yifei let him go.

Get off your body, lean on his chest, take his hand, and ask: "Would you blame me for asking you this, after all, we've only been together for half a year, and I understand if you don't tell me how much money you have."

"What's your fault? When you two are together, there is no way to calculate the property clearly." In terms of property, Cheng Yu'an didn't intend to hide it from Liu Yifei. He said he didn't know if he really didn't know. A smudge was printed on his forehead, "Anyway, what's mine is yours."

"Hmm! What's mine is yours too." Liu Yifei also laughed.

In the originally warm atmosphere, Cheng Yu'an insisted on being cheap: "What do you have?"

Liu Yifei thought about it, brought a change of clothes and daily toiletries, and moved into Cheng Yuan's house. It seemed that there was really nothing of hers in the house.

But Liu Yifei is so smart, and said: "I didn't buy the clothes in your closet for you? I bought all the underwear and socks. Which of the watches in the cabinet below is less than 10? There is a Mercedes-Benz in the garage, a Lincoln. I lost all my money to buy you these things."

"Don't say those two cars are okay, I'll get angry when I talk about them." Cheng Yu'an laughed angrily, "Please buy such a big one in the future and hide from the reporters. After you visit the 4S store in the morning, you will go to the 4S shop in the afternoon." After the news, the license plates of the two cars were exposed as soon as they left the [-]S shop, and I didn’t dare to drive outside.”

"I see that you drive that old Xiali all day long, and you want to buy a new one for you. Who would have thought that this could be photographed by reporters." Liu Yifei was embarrassed to mention this.

So I secretly decided to wear tighter clothes next time to go shopping.

In fact, Cheng Yuan has no shortage of cars. The company has equipped him with a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle, and the brand will also give him a car.

But maybe it's a habit, or maybe it's a shame, Cheng Yu'an drove the most broken Xiali.

The two got bored for a while, and Cheng Yu'an went out alone.

As the end of the year gets to the end of the year, he gets busier. He has to keep an eye on the preparation of "The Wind", and he also needs to take care of some internal management affairs of the company, and he is also indispensable for some external communication and entertainment.

No, he was going to attend the year-end meeting of the Producers Association in the afternoon.

In fact, this meeting should be attended by Cheng Lingfeng or Guo Fei. The company's film producers usually use their names.

However, Han Sanping, chairman of the association, asked Cheng Yuan to attend the meeting by name.

"Director Cheng, long time no see."

"Director Cheng, how about the new film? If you need help, just say something."

"Director Cheng, how about having a cup of tea after the meeting?"

As soon as he arrived at the venue, Cheng Yu'an was surrounded, as if rushing, one person left and the other came.

Cheng Yu'an couldn't handle it.

In the end, Director Han came forward and said that the meeting was about to start and asked everyone to be quiet.

This session was quite long and boring.

First, I reviewed the achievements of the past year, of course, I also pointed out some problems, then I prepared for the upcoming Lunar New Year, and finally I looked forward to the next year, and finally, I also said that you have any good opinions or suggestions in the future Or if you encounter any difficulties, you must actively report to the association, and the association will solve it for you.

Finally, it was over and everyone went to dinner.

"Director Cheng." Wang Zhonglei stepped forward to talk, "I never imagined that Director Cheng could achieve such good results in Hollywood. It's really enviable."

"It's just good luck to pick up something that others don't want." It's like this.

Isn't "The Twilight Saga" the eight most unwanted things that I picked up cheaply by myself?

"Luck is also a kind of strength." Wang Zhonglei smiled and cut to the point, "Is Director Cheng still working on any projects in the United States?"

I came to inquire about the project. A big film company’s ongoing projects are all public. Cheng Yu’an said: ""The Ninth District" and "Fake Marriage" have been completed, and they are scheduled to be released next year. Now the company is mainly working on two TV series. .”

"What about movies?" Wang Zhonglei is not interested in Cheng Yu'an's TV drama business in the United States.

"There is a movie in preparation, but it is currently in the confidential stage, Mr. Wang, please don't take offense." The preparation of "Inception" was not very smooth.

Wang Zhonglei is very proud: "No matter what movie Director Cheng is preparing, I, Huayi, are willing to contribute 2000 million US dollars to help Director Cheng."

Send money?

Cheng Yu'an just sent Wang Zhonglei away with a bad movie, earning 2000 million for nothing.

But things are not that simple. Huayi is seeking to go public. If Huayi gets into Cheng Yu'an's car, he can use this matter to make a splash in the capital market!

At that time, 2000 million is worth a hair, does he still care?

"Hehe," Cheng Yu'an knew Wang Zhonglei's calculations. Although he was also a shareholder of Huayi, he still rejected Wang Zhonglei. "I don't know if the project will be successful, so I won't take Wang Zhonglei's 2000 million."
