Actor: My Entertainment Era

Liu Yifei is not the kind of girl who will obediently stay in the hotel and wait for her boyfriend to come back.

Zhang Yuanjun went out with his front foot, and Liu Yifei went out with his back foot.

Don't worry about the paparazzi following her. The assistant is left behind by her mother in China and no one cares about her. There are countless top department stores and luxury specialty stores in Beverly Hills.

When is the little rich lady Liu Yifei not high now?

She took Zhang Yuanjun's assistant out of the street together: "You can't help him in a meeting, go shopping with me."

The two ate while shopping in Hollywood. Liu Yifei not only bought things for herself, but also bought things for Zhang Yuanjun and Xiao Zhao.

On the company side, Zhang Yuanjun received the visiting Chief Strategy Officer Wayne Levin of Lions Gate.

One has investment intentions, and the other is willing to accept investment. Lionsgate is an established manufacturer, and Zhang Yuanjun and Eddie are not newcomers who don't know anything.

Such negotiations are very easy to talk about.

Lionsgate is not necessarily optimistic about Zhang Yuanjun's studio, but is just a little interested in a new studio, and will invest a symbolic amount of money to see if the company can be hatched, and it is not Lionsgate's own money—this round The investment was led by a Lionsgate foundation.

And the angel round is not so much an investment in companies, it is better to say that it is an investment in people.

The Lionsgate voted for Zhang Yuanjun.

They believe that an Easterner who can conceive of a story like "Buried Alive" is worthy of attention.

"Not to mention that you are so young." Wayne Levine laughed, "When other guys are still sending resumes to various film companies for interviews, you have already established your own company in Hollywood and successfully produced a movie. a profitable film."

In one afternoon, the two parties reached an agreement. Lionsgate invested USD 700 million in Z Studio to expand the company's scale and improve its business. largest shareholder.

It is meaningless for angels to talk about equity allocation in rounds, and Zhang Yuanjun doesn't mind such a division.

At the end of the negotiation, Wayne Levin and Zhang Yuanjun shook hands: "I hope we can have a happy cooperation."

"Of course you'll be grateful for the investment you made in Lionsgate today."

Wayne Levine declined Zhang Yuanjun's invitation: "Eddie told me you brought your girlfriend along, you should share the good news with her, and I won't bother you."

But Zhang Yuanjun wanted to share the news with his girlfriend, but both his girlfriend and his assistant went crazy: "Wait for me for a while, we will be back soon."

It took them half an hour to get back to the hotel.

"How much did you buy!" The two mentioned at least ten shopping bags.

"This is only a part, and the rest of the merchants will be delivered to the hotel later." The two put the bags on the bed.

"Bought this for my mother."

"This is for Xiaoshu."

"Now, this is the tie I bought for you."

"These shoes are very comfortable."

Liu Yifei counted everything and was very satisfied with today's shopping trip.

"Didn't you say invite me to dinner?" Zhang Yuanjun gave them two bottles of water.

"Eat later, I'll rest for a while." Then he and Xiao Zhao described to Zhang Yuanjun what they got from shopping today.

I went to the Kodak Theater where the Oscars were held, went to the Avenue of Fame to count the stars, and went to the Chinese Theater.

"No, haven't you seen all of these before?"

"Let's watch it again, isn't that what you come to Hollywood to watch?" Liu Yifei took a good rest, "Let's go and eat."

The assistant, Xiao Zhao, avoided it consciously, and just said: "Baobuqi also has domestic paparazzi abroad, so be careful."

The two went out and took a walk to the reserved restaurant.

Along the way, Liu Yifei was still chirping about her achievements in the afternoon, it seemed that she was really happy.

Zhang Yuanjun asked her: "Are you happy because you can go shopping and have fun regardless of the reporters secretly taking pictures, or because you are happy when you come out with me?"

Liu Yifei smiled and said: "Don't be so cute, I must be happy because I can come out to play, you are not important." "I am not important, then I will go back, and I will still eat in the hotel restaurant."

"How dare you! I've reserved all the seats!" Liu Yifei said.

"Didn't you say I'm not important?"

"Important, important, you are the most important, go fast, go fast, there are only two steps left, you are in front." Liu Yifei took Zhang Yuanjun's arm.

It seems that Liu Yifei really put her heart into it, and the restaurant she ordered was the famous Musso&Frank in Hollywood - Chaplin's favorite.

Opened in 1919, it is almost a hundred years old.

Liu Yifei did not book a private room, and the two dined in the lobby.

Zhang Yuanjun originally thought that the two of them would just have a steak tonight and drink some red wine to make the atmosphere better.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yifei arranged a whole set of western dinner.

Very ceremonial.

Open a bottle of good red wine and wake up, starting with the caviar for starters, then soup, then side dishes, then main courses and salads, and finally desserts and coffee.

"I can't accept what you did." Zhang Yuanjun always felt that Liu Yifei had other plans.

"I invite you to eat, why are you panicking?"

"If I knew you were doing this, I would have come out in a tuxedo." Zhang Yuanjun said.

The two chatted during the meal, and Zhang Yuanjun told Liu Yifei what happened in the company today.

"I saw the Alien movie very well, it depends on how much Peter Jackson is willing to pay."

"I want to urge Summit Entertainment to settle the bill for me. If "Buried Alive" doesn't settle the bill, I will use my own money to advance to the company."

"How much money can you make from "Buried Alive"?" Liu Yifei asked him.

"It should be 2000 to [-] million. The box office profit is just trivial. The disc market and media on-demand will make money later, and I don't have to share this income with Summit Entertainment."

"Can you take the big head?"

"It doesn't work either. The distributors who have mastered the channel get more. I calculated an account in advance. The discs and media on demand of "Buried Alive" can give me several million a year."

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "I accidentally found someone so rich."

"What do you think?" Zhang Yuanjun took Liu Yifei's glass and poured her another glass of wine, "I have to work hard to save money for my wife."

Liu Yifei spat at him: "I'm only 20 years old, and this is what you want."

"Isn't it the legal age? My female classmate who didn't get into college in high school is now a mother."

"Don't speak so nicely, you just want to bully me."

"Look, I haven't said anything yet, you just think about that. It seems that your mind is not pure. Also, the young man is so energetic, how many girls want to get me, it's cheap for you."

"You are so shameless." Liu Yifei scolded with a smile.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, the two finished their dinner and returned to the hotel arm in arm.

Liu Yifei is a drunkard, and drinking a little wine won't help her. Zhang Yuanjun sent her back to the room. Before he could speak, Liu Yifei said: "You sit down first, I'll take a shower."

Zhang Yuanjun's chest jumped twice.

I don't know if Liu Yifei's face was flushed because of alcohol or shyness.

Xiao Zhao seemed to know that something happened tonight, so he didn't call Zhang Yuanjun all night.

But she still went to the door of Zhang Yuanjun's room to look, but there was no light coming from the crack in the door.

Looks like I won't be coming back tonight. (end of this chapter)
