Chapter 1585 Subjectivity Creates Influence
Sun Guanran said casually, "It's not bad."

"is acceptable?"

"Well, Mr. Chen sent me a few photos, which are quite beautiful. I don't know much about the others. I haven't read the resume or investigated it. It's Chinese New Year, and everyone is busy."

"Hmm..." Zhou Buqi hesitated, "Teacher Chen said they are relatives of her family."

"Really?" Sun Guanran's eyes flickered, and he suddenly realized, "No wonder! I said why the girl looks so familiar. Now that I think about it, I feel...it feels like when we were in junior high school, Mr. Chen It was about the same time when he just graduated and transferred to our school."

Zhou Buqi was determined and very happy.

From the looks of it, in all likelihood, this is Teacher Chen's little sister.

Is this trying to copy the model of Ning Yaxian and Ning Yameng?
It is really possible that this is the case!

This Spring Festival, the two most favored women in the Zhou family are the Ning sisters. A proper mother is more expensive than a child, and a pair of children is the heart and soul of the whole family.

Especially the elders of the Zhou family, they are full of praise for sisters Ning Yaxian and Ning Yameng. They wish they could give them all the best things in the family and take good care of them.

During the Spring Festival last year, Ning Yaxian was not so popular in the Zhou family.She is a "second-hand product", divorced, and has an oily daughter.

This year's Spring Festival is different, Ning Yaxian's treatment has been greatly improved.

The reason is that Ning Yaxian brought her own sister to the Zhou family with great skill, and gave birth to a son. Since then, she has turned around and her family status has been greatly improved.

As far as the Zhou family is concerned, Teacher Han and Teacher Chen are quite favored by Zhou Buqi, but they both understand that this is more about physical stimulation and enjoyment.

To put it bluntly, just play.

If you get tired of playing, or after a few years, the time will pass, and this relationship may be broken.

Teacher Han Yan is not afraid.

She was married and had a son, and that was the backing, and she had nothing to fear.The trouble is Teacher Chen Yan. She is not married and has no children. What will happen to her if she falls out of favor when she is [-] or [-] or [-] years old?So what if you have money?Money is not everything.

For women, the most important thing is to have a baby, which is the most important support.

Especially with the success stories of the Ning sisters.

Zhou Buqi remembered that he seemed to have joked with Mr. Han and Mr. Chen before, asking if there were any young and beautiful girls in their families, he could introduce them together, and he would take care of this teacher-student relationship.

Of course it was rejected.

Last year, the sisters of the Ning family gave birth successively, which probably stimulated Teacher Chen Yan and made her hesitate to make up her mind.Then she made an appointment with teacher Han Yan and traveled to Europe together. They played for several months and visited more than 42 countries. The reported travel expenses reached [-] euros.

It is estimated that what he saw, heard, thought and thought during this trip, as well as the big spending, made Teacher Chen Yan finally make up his mind.

Zhou Buqi manages so many companies now, and the executives under him are all the best of the best. The power struggle in the workplace is complicated and cruel, and he can handle these things well.Looking at Teacher Chen Yan's behavior, it is easy to analyze her inner dynamics.

Well, that's probably it!

If the girl recommended by Mr. Chen meets the employment standards in all aspects, then you might as well be accommodating and do her a favor!

……

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month has not yet passed, but Zhou Buqi has no time to go back.

After securing Tesla's financing, he headed straight to Los Angeles.

Lucasfilm's acquisition plan can be regarded as a formal agreement.There was also an accident. Disney really contacted George Lucas on the first day of the Lunar New Year!

However, after hearing that Lucasfilm’s price was as high as 35.5 billion U.S. dollars, and George Lucas’s preference for Ziweixing Universal, Disney withdrew.

Hearing this news, Zhou Buqi almost broke out in a cold sweat.

so close!

If Disney got involved and got involved, it would be in big trouble.

Fortunately, it is only the beginning of 2010, and Zhou Buqi's actions are fast, decisive and efficient.In this period of time, the impact of the economic crisis is still great, and Disney's board of directors is still relatively cautious about such big moves.

The plan has been reached, Ziwei Star Global will invest 29.5 billion U.S. dollars and assume 6 million U.S. dollars in debt to complete the acquisition of Lucasfilm!
Behind this plan, there are two additional conditions.

First, Pluto Capital, which has been closed, will provide a special treatment, allowing George Lucas to chase in $20 billion.When Pluto Capital was raising funds before, George Lucas invested, but at that time he only invested 1000 million US dollars, this time it was a big follow-up investment.

Second, George Lucas will come out to produce the film project of "The Biography of He Fengshan".

Originally, Zhou Buqi wanted to ask him to be the director, but George Lucas firmly disagreed, saying that he was not good enough to make such a deep drama. Involved in the production of this film.As the director of the movie, Ang Lee is more suitable, he is the master of drama with profound themes.

At the same time, due to market considerations, it is difficult to promote a movie with a yellow race as the protagonist around the world.If anyone could do it, there was only one choice - Harvey Weinstein.

George Lucas said: "There are two main ways to reflect the influence of a movie, one is the global box office, and the other is the Oscars. It is better not to lose the box office than to lose the Oscars. If you want to make "He Fengshan Like "Schindler's List", it must be driven by the market. The export of cultural value requires the subjectivity of movie fans, and buying tickets with money is the greatest expression of subjectivity."

"Correct."

Zhou Buqi was very touched by this, and he felt it when he went to Israel a year ago.

Cultural export is a trend all over the world, and China, Japan and South Korea are all doing this.

The domestic practice is to open Confucius Institutes all over the world. A single Confucius Institute in Israel spends more than [-] million yuan a year to teach those Jews to speak Chinese and know Chinese characters, so as to promote Chinese culture to the world.

A lot of money was spent, and it didn't work at all.

Most of the students go to study as if they go to work, and they all go to receive money.

Japan's approach is different. It produces cartoons and then exports them to Israel.Five or six years later, European and American cartoons have become a marginal product of Israel, and Japanese manga has ruled the whole of Israel, so that they spend tens of millions of dollars every year to buy the copyright of Japanese animation.

The former, I give you money, you learn from me; the latter, you give me money, you learn from me.

The effect is obvious.

Just like a training class.

In some training courses, milk and eggs will be delivered if you participate, but no one goes. It's just some old men and women who go to the lectures to bite the bullet in order to receive free milk and eggs.

To participate in New Oriental's training courses, the cheapest tuition is several thousand, and the other is tens of thousands. It is extremely expensive, but everyone actively signs up, for fear that they will not get a place.

The same goes for the film's impactful performance.

Users vote with their feet, and the box office is the best impact.

Zhou Buqi wanted to make a biography of Mr. He Fengshan, not for making money, but he couldn't ignore the box office market just because he didn't care about making money.

The better the box office, the greater the influence can be proved.The box office is poor, and movie fans are unwilling to take the initiative to spend money to buy tickets. Even if it is given to them for free, the influence of the movie will not be established.

The influence under the market economy, in the final analysis, is the influence of money.

But the problem is...

Zhou Buqi was a little uncertain, "Harvey Weinstein? Can he do it?"

"He is the most suitable person." George Lucas explained, "In the past two decades, he has managed a number of excellent Asian films to be distributed in the United States, and they have all achieved remarkable success. Hayao Saki’s animation, Hong Kong film Huang Feihong, and “Hero”... Hero is a great movie, which has gained a huge box office in the United States. But the success of this movie in the United States is due to Havana’s After this movie, it was re-cut, re-edited and made again according to American tastes, and then created a series of box office records for Asian movies.”

Zhou Buqi had really heard about it.

Harvey Weinstein is a super god-level film producer. Not to mention how many Oscar-level great works he has created, his understanding of the market alone is far ahead of a large number of feature film producers.

In the past ten years or so, many Asian films have entered the US market, including some old Hong Kong films with very low production costs. After Harvey Weinstein's big scissors and re-editing according to the tastes of American audiences, they have achieved very good results. box office results.

One of the most exaggerated scenes is that after Harvey Weinstein got Hayao Miyazaki's cartoons, he found that besides the movie copy, there was a razor blade sent by Hayao Miyazaki.

In fact, it is the threat of blood, warn this fat Jewish man, if you dare to move the scissors on my cartoon, I will kill you!
Later, I had no other choice, so I didn't do anything.

The result is obvious. Hayao Miyazaki, who has killed the whole world, has been cold in the North American market.

From the perspective of winning awards and the market, Harvey Weinstein is the candidate for the best producer of this film.It just so happens that he is Jewish, which also fits the theme of the movie.

But this guy's reputation is too bad.

Now he is in full swing and has not been caught, but Hollywood gossip is flying all over the sky, and many of them are related to this fat man. He has been playing the red sofa audition for twenty years, and the number of female stars from various countries under his hands is estimated to be hundreds of people. .

Zhou Buqi raised this hidden worry.

George Lucas didn't care. "The last thing Hollywood lacks is gossip. This kind of thing...is not uncommon. The most important thing is to make the best movies and make money."

Zhou Buqi nodded.

George Lucas gave him a meaningful look, and said in a low voice: "Harvey is a very smart guy, he knows who he can't touch. At that time, you just need to tell him which actress is your friend." gone."
