Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 381 Yunshang Pictures is considering some help from the next movie
[ps: Before the following content begins, I need to emphasize that in addition to the protagonist's status as a super rich man, the protagonist's cloud is tied to Neon, the world's second box office market, with the largest theater chain and peripheral sales channels. His Elf Entertainment is the largest distribution platform for movie and game adaptations in the world.

The power he represents is one of the most important monetization channels in Hollywood. Therefore, from the perspective of the top management of major Hollywood studios, he is not a poor and unknown person, but a person who needs to be respected.

I have said these words later in the article, but unfortunately many old readers seem not to have seen them, so I emphasize them here.

Please read the following story from this perspective. 】

April 24.

The first day after the America Electronics Entertainment Expo.

Sunset Boulevard.

Hillman Films.

This small-scale film company was born in the 60s. Although it has never had any glory, its survival to this day can be regarded as a good business.

But today, it has changed hands.

In the general manager's office, Mr. Hillman Jr. signed the acquisition contract, took away $43 and his beautiful female secretary, and left in style.

Before leaving the house, the second-generation founder did not forget to take off his hat to the former employees who were worried because the company was acquired.

"Everyone, I can help you find a rich boss, and you will no longer have to worry about your salary. So, don't be sad, you should be happy."

Hillman was no longer the boss at this time, and he was still working in such a high-profile manner, which immediately provoked a dissatisfied rebuttal from an employee.

"Little Hillman, you bastard, you have the nerve to say this after selling the company. You can take the money to Wall Street to invest. What if we are laid off? We still have families to support!"

Faced with the rebuttal, Hillman Jr. showed a nonchalant expression and laughed.

"Haha... you should ask the new boss what you want to do."

As soon as these two sentences were uttered, more curses were immediately ushered in.

It can be seen that the employees of Hillman Pictures have been dissatisfied with this second generation ancestor for too long.

But in the face of everyone's curses, Hillman was completely unmoved.

This is America.

It's a world of rich people.

Except for a few words.

What can these people do to him, a rich man?

Fortunately, he had just sold the company and was in a good mood.

Otherwise, you must ask the lawyer to send a lawyer's letter to these guys who speak freely.

However, although little Hillman didn't care, he was not interested in being cursed. After bending down and doing the courtesy ceremony, he walked out with his beautiful female secretary.

At this moment, the door of the general manager's office where the contract was signed was pushed open.

A short, thin white man walked out.

It was Fred Weber who accepted the commission to acquire Hillman Pictures.

He looked at the employee who was still cursing Hillman Jr.

Fred Weber looked unhappy and immediately snorted.

Although he was kicked out of the Los Angeles TV station, he has been a producer for many years, so he naturally has a leadership aura.

And after working in the industry for so many years, he naturally knows what attitude to use when dealing with ordinary employees in a place like Hollywood.

You can't be too harsh, but you definitely can't be too kind.

A group of employees heard Fred's cold snort and saw that it was the person who acquired the company.

Knowing that I might have to make a living under someone else's hands in the future, I immediately didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore and shut up all of them.

Fred Weber waited until no one spoke, then said, "Okay, the new boss is coming, everyone is ready to welcome him."

The office building rented by Hillman Films is on the first floor of a shop.

After Fred Weber finished speaking, he led everyone towards the entrance of the company, preparing to welcome the new boss who was coming.

At this time, the former Hillman Pictures employees also understood.

It turns out that the boss is someone else.

At the same time.

Little Hillman, who had just left the company's store with his beautiful female secretary, walked to the street and prepared to drive away.

But right now.

A motorcade approaching slowly and suddenly stopping next to him attracted his attention.

The leading car was a Rolls-Royce extended-length 'Silver Dawn' with a vertical logo.

Behind are three Audis of the same style.

All the cars were black, suddenly appeared, and then stopped in front of them.

Little Hillman felt a serious and steady sense of oppression.

For a moment, he felt that the Lincoln next to him was an eyesore.

At this moment, the doors of three Audi cars opened.

Five tall, strong men wearing black suits and cold aura stepped out first. After getting off the car, they all walked towards the extended Rolls-Royce 'Silver Dawn'.

Immediately afterwards, three more Asian men of ordinary temperament and different ages got out of the Audi.

They trotted behind the previous five people and stood next to the extended Rolls-Royce 'Silver Dawn' with respectful expressions.

Everyone seems to be waiting for a big shot to get off the Rolls-Royce 'Silver Dawn'.

In the shock and curiosity of young Hillman.

A strong man in black opened the back seat door of the Rolls-Royce 'Silver Dawn'.

A pair of beautiful legs in black stockings first appeared in Little Hillman's eyes.

Immediately after him, he saw a woman wearing a slim-fitting professional skirt similar to his female secretary, with burgundy curly hair, plump figure, curvy appearance, strong aura but full of charm, walking away. Come down.

Seeing this beauty, look at the female secretary next to you.

Little Hillman suddenly felt that besides his Lincoln car, there was another unsightly thing around him.

And this beauty did not stay away after getting out of the car.

Instead, he stood quietly at the door of the car.

Obviously, this beauty is not what everyone is waiting for.

Then Hillman saw a young Asian man wearing a navy blue suit get out of the car.

Even Hillman Jr., who has a hard time judging Asian looks, must admit.

This young Asian man with a straight body, three-dimensional facial features and starry eyes is a handsome young man.

The most important thing is that the other person's temperament is very special.

He has the aura of someone who is always at the top.

There is also elegance that is rich in learning.

However, he has a gentle and easy-to-get-together feeling.

The most important thing is that Hillman Jr. knows each other.

He was so impressed by this appearance and Forbes magazine.

This is a billionaire.

Seeing that the other party was preparing to leave with his female secretary, little Hillman instinctively wanted to go up to chat and get acquainted.

But before he could get there, little Hillman was stopped by a strong man in black.

He even saw that other big men in black had moved their hands towards their arms.

He definitely didn't think it was just to pass him cigarettes.

So Dang even stopped and looked at the handsome young man, hoping to say a few words to him.

But at this time, the young man turned back to look at him.

In the eyes like stars, indifference flashed away.

This look made little Hillman roll to his lips and swallow it again.

Then he saw the handsome young man leading a group of people into the shop he just left.

"let's go!"

Until the group of people disappeared, little Hillman called the female secretary to leave.

But he found that his female secretary was staring in the direction of the disappeared pedestrian, in a daze.

Obviously, compared to him, a frail middle-aged man.

The young man with a stylish figure and handsome appearance just now is undoubtedly more attractive to women.

The most important thing is the wealth that is visible to the naked eye.

In America it is the most tempting poison.

Little Hillman was not angry when he saw this, he just mocked, "Don't think about it, he is a billionaire."

The female secretary's thoughts were revealed. She first pretended to be coquettish to keep her meal ticket, and then deliberately asked, "My dear, do you know him?"

"I know him, he doesn't know me," Hillman replied.

"Who is he?"

"Hideki Hanyu."

Hillman awkwardly pronounced a name and then explained.

"When we came in the morning, didn't you see a store with a white sign and a queue several hundred meters long?"

"Yes, it seems to be called Elf Show."

"That's his business, he's the owner of the largest video game company in the world."
-
With the bodyguards and "ball flower" secretary, as well as three subordinates sent by Hirohashi Asako from Neon.

Hideki Hanyu was welcomed into the relatively small company by former Hillman Pictures employees.

There is no courtesy to these ordinary employees.

That's not what his big boss should do.

Leave the bodyguard and three subordinates outside.

He took Fred Weber into the general manager's office and naturally sat in the boss's seat.

Fred Weber immediately sent Hanyu Hideki the details of what is now Hillman Pictures.

Hideki Hanyu flipped through it briefly, and it was not much different from what he had seen before.

It also corresponds to what he said before. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

Although there are not many people in Hillman Films, and they may not be very good, they are definitely experienced industry insiders.

With these people as our team, we can start shooting projects at any time with a little expansion.

However, a snake cannot fly without a head, and a bird cannot fly without a head.

Before starting a project, you must first find a leader for them.

Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu looked at Fred Weber.

"I am very satisfied with Mr. Fred's recent work. I hope Mr. Fred can stay as general manager and manage the new company. I don't know if Mr. Fred is willing."

As for ability, Hirohashi Asako sent him the three people from Neon.

Except for one person who is familiar with America's financial system, the other two are not necessarily worse than Fred Weber.

But the thing is, this is America, this is Hollywood.

If you want to gain a foothold here, it is not enough to have the ability. You must also have enough work experience and be familiar with the rules of the upstream and downstream industries.

"I do." Fred Weber's answer was simple.

After observing these days, he found that Hideki Hanyu was the kind of boss he liked very much.

Specifically, there are three points to summarize.

Don't talk nonsense, give money happily, and don't let amateurs dictate to experts.

"Very good. Regarding Mr. Fred's work contract, someone will discuss it with you later. Next, I need to tell you a few important things."

"Boss, please speak."

Fred Weber had changed his title and quickly got to work.

“First of all, you need to know that it was not me personally who acquired Hillman Pictures, but Neon Cloud Entertainment.

So next, I need your help to change the registered name of this company. "

After Hillman Pictures changed ownership, the name was indeed no longer necessary.

Anyway, this was not the name Hanyu Hideki was interested in.

He said, taking out a pen and writing a line of names on the document in front of him.

【Abovecloud Pictures】

The word Pictures means photos, pictures, and paintings.

But if used as a company suffix, it can be translated as "film industry".

Columbia, Universal and other companies all have this suffix.

As for the previous "Abovecloud", it is a coined word converted from "Above the cloud".

Just remove the the in the middle, and then glue the two words "top" and "cloud" together.

Therefore, the name can be directly translated as Yunshang Pictures.

"Okay." Fred answered.

In addition to the name, as for the logo, title, etc., it only needs to be slightly modified by Yuanying Animation.

These have been handed over to Pixar Studios for help.

Anyway, I won’t need it for the time being, so I’m not in a hurry to take it out.

After talking about the name change, Hanyu Hideki continued to explain.

"Next, Yunshang Pictures must increase its manpower, otherwise it will not be able to carry out the next projects. But before that, we must first find a new office location for the company. This place is too small."

Fred asked, "Where does the boss want to move to?"

Hideki Hanyu said, "I'm not familiar with Los Angeles. Can you recommend a place?"

"How about Century City?"

After Fred finished speaking, he saw a puzzled expression on Hanyu Hideki's face.

He immediately explained, “Century City was originally an outdoor attraction for Twentieth Century Fox, located in southwest Los Angeles. In the 50s, Twentieth Century Fox began to build real estate projects there.

In the early 60s, Fox encountered operational problems, so the land was sold. It has been developed by the purchaser to this day. It has convenient transportation, a good environment, and many new office buildings. "

After Fred said this, Hideki Hanyu was somewhat impressed.

In my memory, the headquarters of CAA (Innovative Artist Agency) was here later.

"Okay, you can take people to inspect and help us choose a new office location. Don't be too stingy and consider future business growth."

Fred nodded, "Okay."

"One more thing is that after the company is established, we must also start preparations for the 'Working Girl' movie. I need you to be the producer of this movie."

After hearing Hideki Hanyu's words, Fred immediately stepped into the role of producer and asked directly, "What is the production budget the boss is going to set?"

"$2000 million."

As soon as Hanyu Hideki said this, Fred was choked on the spot.

He persuaded me very sincerely, "Boss, the cost of this kind of urban fashion inspirational movie can be controlled within 1000 million US dollars."

In fact, Fred's statement of less than 1000 million US dollars was an exaggeration.

In his opinion, a movie like this that can be shot in an office building can definitely be done with US$500 million.

However, Hanyu Hideki snatched this script specifically not to test the waters of making a low-cost fashion movie.

He understands that the producers want to help him save money.

But what Hanyu Hideki values ​​​​is not the profit and loss of a movie.

Today, he is not the kind of person who suddenly traveled through time, inherited a movie company that was about to close down, and tried hard to help the company rise.

He came to Hollywood to do things with the support of Yunshang Entertainment and helped Yunshang Pictures become famous in Hollywood.

Even if this "Working Girl" cannot reach the heights of its previous life in terms of honor.

But the box office will definitely help Yunshang Entertainment get off to a good start.

Thinking this, Hideki Hanyu said to Fred.

"In terms of actors, I plan to use a new actor for the female lead, Harrison Ford for the male lead, and Sigourney Weaver for the second female lead."

Hanyu Hideki said that he would use a newcomer to be the heroine, but Fred didn't plan to say anything for the time being.

As a mature Hollywood producer, he must first see people before making suggestions.

But when Hideki Hanyu invited Harrison Ford and Sigourney Weaver, he had to give them a heads up.

"Boss, do we need to invite Harrison Ford and Sigourney Weaver for this kind of urban fashion film? After all, their salaries are not cheap.

And apart from the paycheck, in my opinion, Harrison Ford's masterpieces are 'Star Wars' and 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'.

Sigourney Weaver's masterpieces 'Alien' and 'Ghostbusters'.

The style doesn't match the workplace fashion inspirational drama "Working Girl". "

Faced with Fred's reminder, Hanyu Hideki explained.

"We are a new company, and the heroine is a newcomer. If we don't find an actor with box-office appeal, let alone the box-office, it may be difficult to find a distributor."

Regarding Hanyu Hideki's explanation, Fred nodded, "That makes sense."

At this time, Hideki Hanyu remembered that Fred said that the salaries of the two leading actors were not cheap, and asked, "What are the salaries of Harrison Ford and Sigourney Weaver now?"

Fred was speechless upon hearing this.

I thought to myself that although what this big boss said makes sense, if he decides to invite people without knowing the remuneration, has he not considered the production cost?

For a moment, Fred regretted that it was too early to agree to be the general manager.

But I have agreed, let’s give it a try for now.

After all, in today's Hollywood, there is no one other than this boss who is willing to give him a chance to make a mobile phone.

Returning to Texas to farm was easy to say.

But he was still somewhat unwilling in his heart.

"Harrison Ford needs a salary of US$500 million. As for Sigourney Weaver, US$300 million should be enough."

After Fred finished speaking, Hanyu Hideki showed a surprised expression.

I couldn't help but ask, "Harrison Ford's salary is only 500 million US dollars? Isn't Stallone already tens of millions of dollars?"

In Hanyu Hideki's impression, Harrison Ford has made quite a few hit movies in the past few years.

Only $500 million?
Hideki Hanyu's words made Fred's lips twitch.

I thought that my boss was indeed a billionaire, and even 500 million US dollars could be described as only.

However, it is his duty to answer the boss's questions.

So Fred patiently began to explain.

"Boss, although the salary of male action actors in Hollywood is very high nowadays, such as Stallone and Schwarzenegger you mentioned, it is only limited to the two of them.

But Harrison Ford does not belong to this type of action actor in the traditional sense, so his salary cannot be on par with them. "That's it." "Hideki Hanyu showed a clear expression.

Affected by the memory of later generations, in his mind, the top actors in Hollywood can easily earn a starting salary of tens of millions, and they often have to add a share of the box office.

Unexpectedly, in the 80s, except for the two cheaters, Stallone and the governor, the salaries of others were not as exaggerated as imagined.

"In this case, you are responsible for contacting Harrison Ford as an actor. I may meet with him in person in the near future, and I can definitely help talk to him then."

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki asked again, "Do you have any suggestions for the director of this movie?"

Fred said, "For this kind of fashion film, you can find an average director."

However, Hideki Hanyu remembered the original director of the film and asked directly, "What do you think we ask Mike Nichols to direct?"

Hearing this, Fred was speechless again.

In Fred's mind, Yunshang Pictures is just a small film company. Urban fashion films like "Working Girl" can be produced at a low cost.

As a result, Hanyu Hideki first wanted to star Harrison Ford and Sigourney Weaver, which basically had nothing to do with low-cost movies.

Now with Mike Nichols again.

The director won the Oscar for Best Director in the 60s with "The Graduate" starring Dustin Hoffman.

Two years ago, he won an Oscar nomination for Best Director for the thriller "The Silkwood Incident."

Although his commercial performance is limited, he can definitely be regarded as a famous director.

Harrison Ford and Sigourney Weaver, plus Mike Nichols.

Where is this low-budget fashion film?

This is all for the Oscars.

"Of course there is no problem with Mike Nichols, but the problem is that his director's salary needs to be at least $300 million."

When he heard that the director's salary was 300 million, Hideki Hanyu immediately asked, "Is the production budget of 2000 million US dollars enough?"

After hearing this, Fred thought for a moment and said, "If you control it carefully, it should be fine."

With a production budget of US$2000 million, the two actors and director would have spent US$100 million.

Fortunately, a newcomer is planned to be used as the heroine, and the film type is still an urban fashion film.

Otherwise Fred would definitely ask Hideki Hanyu to increase the production budget.

"Very good. Apart from these requirements, you will be responsible for all other preparations."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, Fred had to vaccinate his boss who didn't understand Hollywood again.

"Boss, I have to say something up front. The three people you are looking for are all big names. Even if they accept the invitation, it will not be easy to adjust their schedules together. It is absolutely impossible to start work in a short time."

Hearing this, Hanyu Hideki smiled and waved his hands.

"Fred, although I don't know much about Hollywood, I am the boss of Neon's largest film and television company. I still understand this common sense. You don't have to worry about me giving random orders."

"Thank you for your understanding, boss. If there is nothing else, I will go and get busy."

Fred said and stood up, pretending to go to work.

After all, Hanyu Hideki had a lot of things to tell him.

Changing the company's name is just a small thing.

Expanding with the original team of Hillman Pictures and finding a new office location were tedious tasks.

But at this time, Hanyu Hideki raised his hand to stop him, "Mr. Fred, please wait a moment."

He said and looked at Monica Bellucci, "Help me call them in."

The people Hanyu Hideki asked his female secretary to call were naturally the three people assigned to him by Hirohashi Asako.

After the three were called in, Hideki Hanyu introduced the three to Fred.

He said that this was a manpower sent by Neon Headquarters to assist him in managing Yunshang Pictures.

Fred naturally understood that these were the personnel placed by the head office in the new company.

This is normal in any company.

As long as the three of them don't affect his work, he won't have any objections.

After introducing the three of them, Hanyu Hideki said to Fred again.

"Nowadays, the video tape market is booming, so many excellent independent film companies have emerged. I believe that many independent film projects are looking for investment. If there is a suitable one, Yunshang Pictures does not mind investing. Please pay more attention to it."

"Okay, I'll keep an eye out."

Fred agreed, and with the rise of the videotape market, there were indeed more and more independent film companies these days.

There are also many projects that lack funds.

But most of these projects have little future.

But since Hideki Hanyu wanted to invest, he had time to help select some for the other party to see.

Anyway, for his billionaire boss, investing in independent films is probably not even pocket money.

With that, Fred was ready to leave and go to work again.

Who would have thought that Hanyu Hideki called him down again.

Hideki Hanyu said, "Fred, now that Working Girl has started preparations, we have to think about the next movie project in advance."

amount……

Fred felt like he was speechless more times today than in the previous year.

The investment for "Working Girl" is US$2000 million. The preparations haven't even started yet, and we have to start thinking about the next movie.

This kind of operation can only be seen in those big studios.

For a small company, who doesn’t shoot one film first and then think about the next one?

After all, once the project fails continuously, huge amounts of money cannot be withdrawn in a short period of time...

and many more!

Fred glanced at his boss.

Suddenly I realized that whether tens of millions of funds could be withdrawn did not seem to be a problem at all for my boss.

The boss of Elf Entertainment is famous even in Hollywood.

Many Hollywood studios rely on game channels to monetize their profits, and they all rely on his boss’s game platform.

Millions of game consoles are sold a year.

Tens of millions of game cartridges.

You can calculate it with just a click of an electronic calculator. The cash flow is probably even more terrifying than that of the Big Six in Hollywood.

With such a boss, Fred felt that his worries were unnecessary.

Thinking of this, Fred immediately asked, "What do you think, boss?"

"I really like Rodrigo Thorpe's novel 'As Things Happen', and I hope it can be remade into an action movie. However, the film adaptation rights of this novel were bought by 60th Century Fox in the [-]s. I hope it can be remade into an action movie." You contact [-]th Century Fox and buy the film adaptation rights of this work."

After hearing Hideki Hanyu's words, Fred looked embarrassed and said to Hideki Hanyu.

"Boss, although I am not familiar with this work, under normal circumstances, big Hollywood companies will not easily sell the film adaptation rights of the works they have purchased. Our purchase will most likely not be successful."

"You just said you won't sell it easily, not absolutely. I believe they will definitely give a price."

When Hanyu Hideki said this, he showed a confident smile, "I am a rich man, and I will not hesitate to pay a high price for the things I like."

"All right……"

Fred fully felt what it means to be rich and willful.

In this day and age, buying the rights to adapt a novel generally costs just a few hundred thousand dollars, not counting the share of the money.

According to Hanyu Hideki's attitude, I am not afraid of spending money.

Fred estimated that if [-]th Century Fox offered a price of several million dollars, Hanyu Hideki would probably buy it without blinking an eye.

In fact, Fred's guess was right. If [-]th Century Fox was willing to sell it for millions of dollars, Hanyu Hideki would definitely take it without hesitation.

After all, this is Rodrigo Thorpe's novel "Nothing Happens."

The movie remake was titled "Die Hard".

Starring Bruce Willis, the first action movie grossed $300 million at the box office in North America and $3000 million at the global box office.

The film later spawned four sequels, with a total box office of more than $11 billion.

So let alone millions, as long as 1000th Century Fox is willing to sell it, he is willing to give it $[-] million.

And in Hanyu Hideki's view, there is still a high chance that Fox is willing to sell.

Rodrigo Thorpe's "What Happens" is actually the sequel to his other novel "The Detective".

In the 60s, [-]th Century Fox was preparing to adapt "Detective" into a movie.

Considering that if the film adaptation of "Detective" is successful, it can be followed by the filming of the sequel to "What Happens".

So I also bought "The Impermanence of Things".

As a result, the "Detective" movie failed.

Naturally, no one mentioned the tie-in "The World Is Impermanent" anymore, and it was left to gather dust in the copyright library for more than 20 years.

As for why [-]th Century Fox will publish this novel again next year.

This is related to a series of coincidences.

In 1987, Jeb Stewart, the screenwriter of "Die Hard", was originally writing a TV series script for Columbia Pictures.

You must know that when creating a TV series in America, you only write the beginning at the beginning. Only when filming is confirmed will the subsequent story be written, and the screenwriter will have subsequent income.

But after Columbia requested Jeb Stewart's script, it temporarily shelved it.

Jeb Stewart had no further income, so he went to work for Disney to write scripts.

But in this day and age, Disney's pressure on screenwriters is very harsh.

Jeb Stewart works more than ten hours a day at Disney, but his income cannot support his young children and pregnant wife.

Under the pressure of life, Jeb Stewart could only entrust his agent to help introduce jobs to earn extra money.

Jeb Stewart's agent knew Lloyd Levin, who had just resigned as president of [-]th Century Fox.

At this time, Lloyd Levin was working as a producer in a production company established jointly with a friend.

With the convenience of being the president of [-]th Century Fox, he provided screenwriter Jeb Stewart with a series of original novels to choose from.

After some selection, the two chose the novel "What Happens" to collaborate on a new project with [-]th Century Fox.

Finally, "Die Hard" was born.

It can be said that without this series of coincidences, "Nothing Happens" would still be lying around gathering ashes at [-]th Century Fox.

As for the subsequent selection of starring roles, Murdoch personally wrote a $500 million salary check to Bruce Willis.

Most of them are propaganda, and Hanyu Hideki doesn't need to care at all.

After all, now I only need to get this novel, which is lying around gathering dust at [-]th Century Fox.

Hideki Hanyu has the complete version of the movie in his mind, just follow the correct answers.

After Fred Weber started working.

Hideki Hanyu also left.

He is the boss, so he can just leave the specific work to his subordinates. There is no need to do everything himself.

After leaving the company, Hideki Hanyu and his female secretary got into the car.

The female secretary next to her leaned over.

This Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn Extended Edition was specially bought by him to show off at an event in Los Angeles.

A derivative of the Rolls-Royce Silver Spur, it is not only isolated from the driver's seat, but also has a huge interior space.

The Italian beauty is very pleased with the car.

Because besides privacy it's good.

It's convenient for her to do whatever she wants.

No, the car had just started and it had already begun to flatter Hideki Hanyu.

"BOSS, would you please come back to the hotel with me?"

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he instinctively wanted to refuse.

After finally finishing the exhibition, he didn't need to deal with the work in Hollywood for the time being.

Then I planned to go back to Hibiscus Garden, engage in creation, and spend time with my fairy mother.

After all, it seems that it is not long before the due date, and the mother needs companionship the most during this period.

But before the words were spoken, Monica Bellucci, who knew how to seduce Hanyu Hideki, had already begun to make moves.

Not only act on your own.

He also took the initiative to hold Hanyu Hideki's hand.

How could a scumbag like Hideki Hanyu withstand such temptation?

Fell immediately.

"Uh--then go to your hotel first."

"Ok."

The seduction was successful, and Monica Bellucci became more active.

"Slower……"

As Hideki Hanyu spoke, he seemed to remember something and asked Monica Bellucci.

"I'm planning to develop my career in Hollywood. Monica, you are so beautiful. You were planning to be a model before. Have you ever thought about entering the entertainment industry and making movies?"

After hearing this, Monica Bellucci raised her head temporarily and decisively refused, "No."

Hideki Hanyu asked, "Why?"

He was going to be a "ball star" in the world of film and television, but now he kidnapped her and became his secretary. She also had no interest in the entertainment industry at all. He was somewhat curious.

Monica Bellucci replied, "Being an actor is so hard and you can't make much money, so you might as well just follow BOSS."

When Hideki Hanyu heard this, he thought it made sense.

In this day and age, there are only two male celebrities who earn tens of millions.

There are very few female stars who can get high salaries.

Those popular female stars worked hard to make movies for a year, and many of them earned less than the "salary" he gave Monica Bellucci.

Later generations of Monica Bellucci.

Because of its popularity on the domestic Internet, many people have misunderstood it.

Her famous and famous film "Legend of Sicily" only grossed US$1400 million at the global box office.

The few Hollywood movies she participated in were box-office hits, and she basically had nothing to do with them. Almost all of the major ones were cast aside.

In this case, in Hollywood, which only values ​​commercial value, her status and salary can be imagined.

It’s almost impossible to see the name of the other female star on the income list.

As for worth.

Just compare the net worth of other female stars and you will know that in the 2023 Forbes female star net worth list, Rihanna topped the list with [-] million.

Compared with "Ball Flower", this superstar singer who has a prosperous side job and doesn't even want to release records.

To say it's far worse than that would be putting it mildly.

But now that the other party is following him, his reputation may not be as good as in later generations.

But his worth and status are definitely much better than those in another time and space.

If the development goes well.

Spokesperson for European logistics giants.

Isn't it better than the actors who take off their clothes and show off on the big screen?
"Since you don't want to, forget it, but in the future I will have more work in Los Angeles, and you will need to come here more often. After all, staying in a hotel is not suitable. I have time to choose a house."

As soon as Hanyu Hideki said this, Monica Bellucci, who was working, immediately buried her head deeper.
-
Hanging out with Qiuhua in the hotel all afternoon.

Monica Bellucci was too tired to get up, but Hideki Hanyu still had the energy to go to the gym to exercise.

As a result, as soon as he returned home, he received a call from Kitahara Eri.

"Hanyu-san, I have some good news for you."

Hanyu Hideki asked curiously, "What good news?"

Eri Kitahara said, "Nintendo has released its first quarter financial report."

"I guess the stock price must have fallen badly."

Hideki Hanyu looked at the time. The Tokyo Stock Exchange should have just opened.

Although he has not seen the financial report, he knows that it will definitely not look good.

After all, the FC console has been swallowed up by Genie Entertainment's PS console, which has a market share of 30.00% in Asia. A decline in performance is a certainty.

"It fell 40.00% year-on-year in the first quarter of last year. The stock price fell 17.00% at the opening, and it hasn't stopped yet."

When Hideki Hanyu heard this, he was not surprised, "It's just expected."

"Haha... But there is another thing that Hanyu-san definitely didn't expect." Kitahara Eri smiled happily.

"What's going on?" Hanyu Hideki was suddenly curious.

I wonder if Nintendo's disappointing earnings report, in addition to causing the stock price to plummet, could it have caused some other chain reaction.

"Nintendo disclosed in its financial report that part of its losses were due to its cooperation with Bandai on the WS handheld console, which indirectly exposed Bandai's losses due to the WS handheld console."

Hearing Kitahara Eri's answer, Hanyu Hideki thought to himself, no wonder Kitahara Eri is so happy.

It was during the period when Eri Kitahara was the president of Elf Entertainment that Bandai took advantage of his electronic pets.

Kitahara Eri resigned as president because of that incident.

Although she resigned for acting, it is certain that Eri Kitahara was unhappy.

Now Eri Kitahara is in charge of Elf Communication, and Neon’s biggest rival happens to be Bandai.

Now seeing Bandai's misfortune, it's natural for her to be unhappy.

"In that case, Bandai's IPO might also be affected."

Hideki Hanyu thought to himself that the Mitsubishi Consortium hoped that Genie Entertainment would not affect Bandai's listing, but it could not withstand the backstabbing from his teammates.

Kitahara Eri said, "This is for sure. Mitsubishi's securities company has announced immediately that the loss of WS handheld will not affect Bandai's overall business."

"Ha ha……"

Hanyu Hideki sneered and said, "It's just trying to conceal it. Bandai planned to launch it in May, but it seems impossible now.

I was worried before that after Bandai went public, it would use investors' money to help WS handhelds fight a price war with us. Now it seems that this is also impossible in the short term. "

Kitahara Eri echoed, "Even if it goes on the market, I'm afraid it won't be able to take off. With Bandai being messed up like this by Nintendo, there's no telling whether the cooperation between the two parties can continue."

Kitahara Eri felt inexplicably emotional when she said this.

“I don’t want to believe in luck, but sometimes I have to believe it, because I find that many times when we encounter crises, our opponents will encounter unexpected troubles for no reason.

Now it seems that there is a force in the dark to help us. "
