Selna smiled wryly: "I've had someone check it out. It was a senior executive of DC Comics who had drunk too much at a reception and said it unintentionally. For this reason, he was severely punished by the company's CEO Chelsea." He was severely reprimanded."

"Hmph!" Gu Chenfeng said with a sneer: "This kind of bitter trick, Huaguo has played with it thousands of years ago, and they are only playing with it now."

Serna asked, "Boss, what should we do now?"

Gu Chenfeng thought for a while, and said: "Things have come to this point, what else can we do now? Let me just say a few words, these reporters are not easy!"

Selna immediately acted as Gu Chenfeng's agent, and said loudly: "My friends from the press, Mr. Gu has been on the plane for more than twelve hours, and he is very tired now, so let's answer two or three questions. The problem is to go to rest."

"This reporter, you should ask first!"

The reporter who was named asked happily: "Mr. Gu, your "Traveling in the Stars" won the top box office in the world, why do you still accept an audition invitation from a director who is far less influential than you? "

"In case of failure, have you ever thought that this will have a certain adverse effect on your reputation?"

Gu Chenfeng said with a smile: "The order of positioning I give myself is like this, first the actor, then the director, and then the singer. I have seen the movie "Life Fragments" directed by Nolan, and it was very well shot. I really hope that To be able to work with him once."

"As for the failure of the audition, I have never considered this issue. Even if I really failed in the end, it doesn't matter to me."

"In the film "Batman: The Dark Knight", I have only one identity, and that is the actor. Other things are out of my consideration."

After hearing Gu Chenfeng's answer, another reporter asked: "Mr. Gu, why did you take on the role of the clown? According to what we know, he is just a villain in the play."

Gu Chenfeng replied: "Because the clown is a lawless and unfettered character, full of all kinds of charm, as an actor, to have the opportunity to create such a classic image, this is something no actor is willing to give up. of."

The reporter asked: "Mr. Gu, I heard that there are seven actor-level actors who will audition for the role of the clown this time, and there are more than ten first-line actor-level actors. How likely do you think you are to get this role? "

Gu Chenfeng said confidently: "In the profession of acting, I don't think I will lose to any actor in the world."

At this time, Selna stood up and said: "Okay, friends from the press, now that the three questions have been answered, we should go."

Then, under the escort of the bodyguards, Gu Chenfeng got into the car and left.

While on the way, Serna said: "Boss, the first movie of "Lord of the Rings" will be released worldwide in two weeks. Director Jack would like to invite you to attend the premiere of the movie."

After more than a year of hard work, Jack completed the shooting and production of the first film and television work of the "Lord of the Rings" series of novels two months ago.

Now, after the release time has been determined, it is time to start promoting the movie.

Gu Chenfeng nodded, and said: "Pete called me a few days ago, whether I can get the role of the clown or not, I will go to the premiere of the first film and television work of "Lord of the Rings"."

"By the way, have you seen the finished film?"

Selna replied: "A month ago, Mr. Jack and I went to Disney Films to discuss the announcement of the film. In the Disney screening hall, I have watched the entire film."

"If I had to describe the quality of the film, it would be that Mr. Jack created a living Middle-earth world, and all the film reviewers at Disney Studios agreed that this film will be a hit."

"Of course, I personally feel the same way."

Hearing her words, Gu Chenfeng lost angrily: "Three "Lord of the Rings", with a production cost of 20 billion US dollars, if he can't make a good film, I want to kill this guy."

Serna smiled and said, "Boss, Mr. Jack has already said that if the first part of "Lord of the Rings" doesn't succeed, then he will succeed."

"Pfft!"

"Hahahaha!" Gu Chenfeng couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and said: "Don't listen to his nonsense, don't look at this old guy talking slowly and softly, he seems to be quite honest, in fact, the bad water in his stomach There are many."

After the two joked a little, Serna said, "Boss, I seem to have heard a bad rumor."

"Which aspect?" Gu Chenfeng was taken aback.

Serna said: "There are rumors that DC Comics wants Daniel to play the role of the Joker."

Gu Chenfeng frowned, and asked, "Who is this Daniel you are talking about?"

Serna said: "Daniel is the cousin of the CEO of DC Comics, Cheers. He was shortlisted for the best actor Oscar three times, but unfortunately he failed in the end. In terms of acting skills, he is at the bottom of the list of best actor in Hollywood."

"But he is backed by Chelsea, the big boss, so there is news that the clown has been booked in advance."

Gu Chenfeng pondered: "Is this true, or are other companies putting pressure on DC Comics?"

Selna said: "I got someone to bribe a high-level executive from DC Comics, and that person said that it was very likely to be true, because Daniel went to Chelsea's house almost every day during this period."

Gu Chenfeng asked again: "Does Director Nolan know about this?"

Serna replied: "I have already called Director Nolan to inquire. Nolan replied that unless Daniel's acting skills surpassed others, he would never be allowed to play the clown." .”

After speaking, he thought of something, and added: "He even swore on the phone!"

Gu Chenfeng nodded, and said: "Okay, let's take a step and see. If Cheers dares to play tricks with me, I don't mind teaching him a lesson."

Serna said with a smile: "Boss, we bought an [-]% stake in KW Cinemas some time ago, which is the largest cinema in Europe, plus the other two cinemas, as long as you say a word , I am afraid that none of the films produced by DC Comics will be able to be released."

Gu Chenfeng said: "Movies are movies, and business is business. I won't engage in blocking unless it is absolutely necessary."

"However, I still don't think Cheers dares to risk the disgrace of the whole world to offend me and more than a dozen other Hollywood movie stars for the sake of his cousin. You must know that there are companies behind these movie stars."

"I hope so!" Serna said.

Soon the vehicle stopped at a five-star hotel. When Gu Chenfeng arrived at the hotel, he first sent a message to Luo Qingcheng to report his safety, and then fell asleep directly.

When he woke up again, it was already nine o'clock the next morning.

After breakfast, he and his team went straight to the filming set of "The Matrix".

The movie was launched half a month ago, and Wu Jin became the anti-number one in it. This time, Gu Chenfeng went to visit the set mainly for Wu Jin to stand on the stage, so that this guy would not be bullied in the crew.

Soon, the vehicle arrived at its destination.

The director of the movie "The Matrix" is Lana Wachowski, a very powerful female director in Hollywood, and also the screenwriter and investor of this movie.

After learning that the well-known Gu Chen was coming to visit Wu Jin, Lana Wachowski was very happy, and immediately led the crew to welcome him out.

Wu Jin was naturally very happy to see Gu Chenfengna, stepped forward and gave him a bear hug, and said, "Chenfeng, why are you here when you have time?"

Gu Chenfeng patted him on the shoulder and said: "This is your first time to come to Hollywood to film. I just came here, so I have to come to see you no matter what, to support you. What's the matter? Bullying, right?"

"No!" Wu Jin shook his head with a smile, and said, "Everyone is quite friendly."

In fact, at the beginning, Wu Jin was indeed questioned by some crew members. Later, he won the recognition of everyone with his sharp movements and professionalism.

At this time, Lana Wachowski stepped forward and greeted with a smile: "Mr. Gu, nice to meet you."

Gu Chenfeng stretched out his hand, shook her hand, and said, "Director Wachowski, I'm sorry to interrupt your filming."

After a friendly exchange between the two parties, the reporters were asked to take some photos, and then Gu Chenfeng followed the crew into the set.

Lana Wachowski said to Gu Chenfeng: "Mr. Gu, can I have a private talk with you?"

Gu Chenfeng was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, and said, "Of course."

Afterwards, the two came to a corner where no one was around, and each sat on a chair, and everyone around them automatically moved away from them ten meters away.

Lana Wachowski said: "Mr. Gu, I heard from Wu that the reason why he took on the film "The Matrix" mainly depends on your approval of the script, is that true?"

"No, he actually likes this drama himself, so he asked me for my opinion." Gu Chenfeng shook his head and explained: "After I finished reading the script, I felt pretty good, so I suggested him to follow up with this drama. "

"If he doesn't want to take the show himself, then he can't agree with me at all."

Lana Wachowski said: "Mr. Gu, since you think our drama is not bad, do you have any intention to invest?"

"Investment?" Gu Chenfeng seldom lost in surprise: "Director Wachowski, you are the most famous female director in Hollywood, and there should be many companies looking for you to cooperate with!"

Lana Wachowski explained: "Although my last film got a good box office, it lost word of mouth. The main problem is that the producer didn't know how to pretend to understand and stretched out his hands to the crew, so I almost took out all of them. savings, invested in the filming of "The Matrix"!"

"But I didn't expect this movie to cost so much money. Not to mention the cost of promotion and distribution, my money is probably only enough for two-thirds of the filming."

Hearing Lana Wachowski's words, Gu Chenfeng really didn't expect that, when he came to talk about a class by himself, the director actually asked him to invest.

But now Gu Chenfeng also seems to understand the reason why she asked Wu Jin to play the role, it's nothing more than wanting to take advantage of this line.

You know, there are quite a few action stars in Hollywood, whose popularity and popularity far surpass Wu Jin. Lana Wachowski doesn't use these people, but uses Wu Jin instead. In addition to popularity, I am afraid the most important thing is the salary.

Although Wu Jin also has a certain popularity and influence overseas because of Gu Chenfeng's several films, his salary is at most between 500 million US dollars and 800 million US dollars.

If this price is compared with those Hollywood super action events, it is simply too cheap.

Gu Chenfeng said: "Director Wachowski, why did you choose me to be the investor of this movie, because I am an expert?"

Lana Wachowski said with a smile: "My good friend and Jack, he has been filming the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy for the past two years, and all his investment comes from you."

"The last time I attended a banquet with him, he told me that he has been making movies all his life, and this cooperation with you is the most comfortable."

"Hahahaha!" Gu Chenfeng laughed and said: "So that's it, well, Director Wachowski, I have read the script of "The Matrix" and it is indeed very good. I can invest in this movie. If you If you are willing to hand over the promotion and distribution to me, I can also agree."

When Lana Wachowski heard this, she said happily: "That's really great. I heard from Wu that you are a shareholder of many cinema chains around the world. If you are in charge of the distribution of "The Matrix", I will really appreciate it." There is nothing to worry about.”

Gu Chenfeng laughed: "Then wish us a happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation!" Lana Wachowski said with a smile.

Gu Chenfeng waved to Serna, who immediately came over knowingly.

Gu Chenfeng briefly explained the matter, and said: "Director Wachowski is in charge of all the filming, and your people are only responsible for financial accounts, understand?"

"Understood!" Selna nodded and said, "Director Wachowski, tomorrow I will send someone over to check the crew's financial situation. I wonder how much money the crew still needs?"

After thinking about it for a while, Lana Wachowski said, "I invested 1.2 million US dollars, and I need another [-] million US dollars at most, and the future publicity fee will be calculated separately."

"No problem!" Serna said.

At this time, Gu Chenfeng said: "Director Wachowski, Wu Jin is my very good brother. Although he is good at martial arts, his English is too poor. Please help me to take care of him so that no one can bully him."

Lana Wachowski smiled and said, "Don't worry, I understand."

After the two finished chatting about the movie, Gu Chenfeng chatted with Wu Jin for a while before leaving the "Matrix" crew.

···
Qingchen Investment Company.

Gu Chenfeng sat on the boss's chair in the conference room, listening to Serna's report on the financial status of the first quarter.

Invested in 26 companies, as of yesterday, only 20.00 companies' stock prices have risen by an average of [-]%, while the other family companies have plummeted by an average of more than [-]%.

In other words, in the first quarter, the company not only failed to make money, but also lost a full US$8.5 million.

After Selna finished her work report, everyone in the investment department lowered their heads, a total of 92 billion US dollars, a loss of [-]%, such a result is simply embarrassing.

Gu Chenfeng took a look at the top three loss-making companies, two Internet companies and a biotechnology company. According to the previous investment report, Gu Chenfeng was very optimistic about these three companies, so he invested a lot of money in them.

The person in charge of the investment department, Mike, stood up and said bravely: "Boss, some Internet and biological companies need to look at long-term benefits, not short-term benefits."

"I think these companies with serious losses have huge potential, and they will definitely explode in the future."

Gu Chenfeng nodded and said, "If that's the case, why don't you take advantage of the sharp drop in the stock price and buy more?"

Mike didn't seem to have thought that Gu Chenfeng would have such an attitude, and he asked such an unexpected question, so he was stunned for an instant.

After hearing Gu Chenfeng's words, the others also raised their heads with surprised expressions.

After losing so much money, everyone thought that today must be the end of the day, and maybe someone will be fired, but they didn't expect that the boss not only didn't get angry, but instead asked them to continue buying.

Is this irony or truth?
Seeing everyone's bewildered expressions, Gu Chenfeng said with a smile, "As an excellent investor, you must be patient. I also feel very good about those companies that have exploded in losses, but they haven't harvested yet. season."

"After all, it's only a quarter. There's no need to doubt your professional ability because of a temporary failure. Of course, according to our company's previous regulations, your bonuses for these few months will be gone. I won't make up for you. For the money."

"But I can assure you that as long as the stock prices of these companies can rise in the future, I will definitely not lose any bonus for you. Again, the level of your salary and the interests of the company are both prosperous and at a loss. All lost."

"Whether you can become a billionaire or not depends on your own ability."

"Papa papa!" After Gu Chenfeng finished speaking, the entire meeting room burst into warm applause.

After the meeting, Serna followed Gu Chenfeng to his president's office.

Selna said with admiration: "Boss, you are really inspiring."

Gu Chenfeng said with a smile: "Although I don't know much about investment, I also know that it is unrealistic for these Internet companies and biotechnology companies to bring us profits in the short term."

"Before I was always worried that they would make short-term investments for every monthly bonus, but now it seems that I was too worried. To be honest, Mike and the others can value long-term benefits instead of short-term benefits, which makes me very happy .”

Serna said: "Boss, you are really wise."

Gu Chenfeng smiled and said: "Stop auctioning off skins for me, I don't want to do this, Selna, you are already a veritable billionaire woman now, right?"

Selna said dissatisfiedly: "Boss, I'm not a rich woman, I'm a typical... What's that called? Yes, yes, yes, Bai Fumei."

Hearing this, Gu Chenfeng was stunned.

He never thought that Selna would suddenly say a Chinese Internet term, so he laughed and said, "Okay, it's my fault."

"May I ask our Ms. Bai Fumei, have you ever thought about going out and working hard on your own?"
