Top of the Great Era

Chapter 3036 Take the initiative

Gu Zanli pulled Wang Langli along, and they were very happy this time.

As Zhou Buqi's assistant, he took photos with all the big Hollywood stars. During this period, he even met an uncle named Brooke, a photographer from Universal Pictures, and asked him to take photos for him.

This is great.

They both have the same name, Lili, and their English names are both "Lily". Many people with face blindness think they are twins. Moreover, they are so white, young and thin that compared with European and American girls, they look like underage girls.

So much so that many people thought they were playing a prank and that they were not Zhou Buqi's assistants, but Zhou Buqi's sisters.

Seeing that they like to chase stars and take photos, some people will help them introduce others and take them to find people to take photos with. Anyway, they have the face of Boss Zhou.

During the entire cocktail party, all directors, stars, and screenwriters, no matter how famous or not, were mentioned one after another.

  This was such a great shoot!

With such a friendship, the two became familiar with each other.

Gu Zanli held her little hand and whispered, "You and our boss are not together yet?"

Wang Langli blushed a little, "Not yet."

Gu Zanli looked at her strangely, "Don't want to?"

Wang Langli hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I didn't say I didn't want to."

"That's all." Gu Zanli whispered in her ear, "Be more proactive. It's been such a long time, why haven't you won yet?"

Wang Langli asked angrily, "What do you mean?"

Gu Zanli rolled her eyes at him, then covered her mouth with her hands and laughed secretly, whispering: "Who is the big boss? As long as we take him down, it will be like defying the will of heaven and changing our fate. Do I need to explain this to you?"

Wang Langli said in a low voice embarrassedly: "How can there be someone like you."

Gu Zanli snorted, "Just be reserved. You will regret it later. Do you know what the situation is like now? Everyone is trying to win favor with others, and they are all using all kinds of tricks. You know Zhang Zetian, right? She is several years younger than us. Strictly speaking, she won't graduate until next summer!"

"what?"

Wang Langli was very surprised because she knew that Zhang Zetian had been here for a long time and was in a high position of power and seemed to be more capable than the sister Gu Zanli in front of her.

Gu Zanli said: "He was born in 93!"

"Ah?" Wang Langli blushed immediately, "She is two years younger than me, and I used to call her sister."

Gu Zanli curled her lips and said, "She is just like that. She likes to compete and be in the limelight. You must have heard that she doesn't call our boss boss, but master."

Wang Langli's face turned even redder, and she nodded slightly, "Yes, I have heard of it. I... I think it's quite strange, and... and many people have called me that, Zhao Limuge, Yan Qiqi, Mai Feixue and others..."

In fact, she was embarrassed.

Because she had heard Gu Zanli calling out like this in a coquettish manner several times.

Gu Zanli sighed, "What can we do? She said that, if we don't follow her, we will just have to watch her compete for favor alone."

"Yeah." Wang Langli could understand it to some extent, but she was also a little worried. "But the boss said...said that we shouldn't compete for favors, and he will treat everyone equally."

Gu Zanli smiled and said, "Yes, just grasp the right degree. You can be favored, but you can't hurt others. Don't be misled by "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and think that there will be palace fighting. In the ancient palace, the queen had the final say, especially in the Qing Dynasty, the rules were very strict. Any concubine who dared to look at the queen disrespectfully would be beaten to death, or basically be a widow for life. If the emperor wanted to see any concubine, it had to be approved by the queen. The queen was the master of the six palaces, not the emperor."

Wang Langli was a little confused. "What is this?"

Gu Zanli said: "You don't understand. Once you get in, you will understand after a while. Now you need to put aside your reserve and dignity, take the initiative, and beg him."

"Ah? How can I beg?"

Wang Langli was flustered.

Gu Zanli advised: "Just say it directly, say that you are ready and want to hand it over... or just wash yourself clean and go to the boss's bed. Go tonight, I guarantee that after today, you will be a brand new woman."

"what……"

Wang Langli's heart was pounding, she couldn't do it.

Gu Zanli felt a little disappointed. That night, she had helped to create an opportunity. As long as Wang Langli washed herself and lay in the boss's bed, when he finished his work and came back from the study, he would see it, and then everything would be done.

But Wang Langli said she would not go no matter what.

In the end, I even cried in frustration.

Gu Zanli didn't bother her. It didn't matter if she didn't participate, so she called Yan Qiqi and went to the boss's bedroom. After washing up, she got into bed and while waiting for the boss, she chatted with the reserved and shy Wang Langli.

Yan Qiqi said that the girl's modesty was great, but we are all young women now, and it is impossible to go back to the girlish feeling we had in the past.

Gu Zanli snorted softly, "I don't want to go back! I am the best version of myself now, and my life now is what I want most! Living in a big house, having servants to serve me, having a man to love me, having sisters to look after me... Only a fool would want to live like that before."

Yan Qiqi blinked a few times and said in agreement, "Yeah, that's right. If you ask me... I won't reply. My mom talked to me a few days ago, asking me if I had a partner and whether I should hurry up and get married."

"Ah?" Gu Zanli was concerned. "How did you deal with it?"

"I told my mother that the family was short of money and I would transfer one million to her. Then she shut up."

"Ha ha!"

……

The news that Ziweixing Global is going to launch its own video streaming platform has been released for several months.

The company's stock price surged on this good news.

Coupled with the crazy performance of several of its films in the box office market during the summer season, the capital market has become even more supportive.

  Now, Ziweixing Global’s market value has reached 2387 billion US dollars!

It turned out to be the listed company with the highest market value controlled by Zhou Buqi!

Ranked second is Ziweixing International, with a real-time market value of US$2375.

The third is Ziweixing, with a market value of US$1997 billion.

The fourth is Changyou, with a market value of US$975 billion.

Fifth is PayPal, with a market value of US$684 billion.

Sixth is Ziweixing Media, with a market value of 192 billion pounds.

Zhou Buqi directly controls these six listed companies as the chairman of the board, and there are even more listed companies that are indirectly related to him. Such business achievements are all the result of hard work in the market.

  You are respected wherever you go!

Taking advantage of Boss Zhou's presence in Hollywood, the next day, Thomas Tull of Legendary Pictures shamelessly said he must meet with him no matter what, in order to secure a last chance of survival for the "The Great Wall" project.

In fact, as the CEO of Legendary Pictures, Thomas does not need to seek permission from Boss Zhou. According to the cooperation terms between Legendary Pictures and Universal Pictures, if Universal Pictures does not like a movie controlled by Legendary Pictures, it does not have to participate in the investment, but it must help with the distribution.

But for a Hollywood blockbuster of this level, with a total investment budget of up to 1.5 million US dollars, it would always be a bit unsafe without the participation of Hollywood giants like Universal Pictures.

It would be even more troublesome if Boss Zhou didn't agree.

This is a Sino-US co-production after all.

Zhou Buqi had no choice but to meet him.

He is a senior movie fan and he knows what a failure "The Great Wall" directed by Zhang Yimou in his previous life was.

Especially the military formations that were neatly-formed, brightly-colored and clearly defined, like a large-scale radio gymnastics exercise. It was so awkward as it could be, and it was exactly the same style as any Indian masterpiece.

Returning to the palace in a balloon would have been even more inappropriate.

However, the project is quite popular.

Ziweixing Global also supports this.

It's not that they are optimistic about this project, but they are optimistic about the bargain they got for free. According to the terms of the cooperation, Ziweixing Global can get all the streaming rights of this Sino-US co-production blockbuster with a total investment of 1.5 million US dollars for free!

  Normally, if you want to permanently buy out the streaming rights for a Hollywood blockbuster of this level, it would cost at least $1 million!

If the performance is good and it becomes a hit blockbuster, it might not be possible to buy it even with $2 million or $3 million!

Now that Ziweixing Global is focusing on video streaming business and developing content as its core business, why not take up the streaming rights of such a good commercial blockbuster for free? Wouldn't it go against the company's purpose if they didn't take it?

Once the big hat was put on him, even Zhou Buqi couldn't refuse.
