"The stock market is in a slump!"

On a plane from Hong Kong to the United States, Chen Qi sighed as he looked at the news in the newspaper.

Tsui Hark, who was next to him, came over and responded repeatedly: "Yes, yes! The market has not been good recently. Nansheng and I have both invested in some investments and have lost a lot of money. You won't buy stocks too, right?"

"What are the Chinese enterprise cadres doing for buying capitalist stocks?"

Chen Qi shrugged. He had already lost enough in his previous life. How to hand over his wealth? Then go to a special institution and call it the Shanghai Stock Exchange, yes.

Tsui Hark snatched the newspaper and looked at the stock market information with relish. There was no way for Hong Kong people to be trapped in the stock market and the real estate market all their lives, and the entertainment industry is not immune to the vulgarity - the mainland has not yet, and it will be opened in 1990.

After meeting his leader in Shanghai, Chen Qi went to Beijing to deal with Duan Yongping's students, and had a few fights with Gong Xue. He had just returned to Hong Kong.

As a result, he suddenly received news from Price, and was eager to invite him to the United States. Tsui Hark was about to select a scene for "Black Man 2", so the two went together. "Black Man 2" will shoot some shots in the United States.

“…”

Chen Qi looked at the clouds outside the window, thinking about this, Price said that Sony is looking for a target in Hollywood, and the Colombia board of directors is quite interested, and wants to mention "Rain Man" to the summer season...

Why upgrade?

Bet a box office! If it works, Colombia's stock will rise and it will gain an advantage in the negotiations.

"hehe!"

Chen Qi couldn't help but laugh, OK! He was all thinking about cheating the Japanese.

The same is true for me.

The long-distance flight was probably boring. Tsui Hark was bored after reading the newspaper for a long time. He closed his eyes and glanced for a while, then opened his eyes and poked Chen Qi, saying, "Where is the Oscar this year?"

“No. 24!”

"I want to go and see if I can get an invitation for me?"

"Yes! But what are you doing? Do you want to go to O'O, too?" Chen Qi was puzzled.

"Of course I think about it! Don't look at me making commercial films, I also have the heart of art films. If there is a good story, I really want to try it." Tsui Hark was serious.

Chen Qi scratched his head, what artistic film has Xu made?

It seems that there is no such thing as a cult film in the early days of "Hell No Way" and "The First Type of Danger", but it is not literary. He smiled and said, "Old Xu, you are envious, jealous and hateful when you see Wang Jing in the United States, right?"

"I envy him?"

Tsui Hark instantly became warm and said angrily: "I was the first to film "Orphan Resentment", the first to join Yindu, the first to open a personal studio, the first to enter the United States, the first to go to the capital... I envy him?!"

"Okay, okay. You two have different styles. You can't shoot the kind of youth campus film. If there is a suitable subject, I'll let you try it."

Chen Qi smiled and tasted a bit of jealousy.

Tsui Hark was the undisputed leftist director before, but Wang Jing came from behind and wanted to catch up. He made three American youth films in a row, and everyone envied this resource, which made Lin Lingdong, Xian Qiran and others ready to go to Hollywood to show their skills.

The success led by Chen Qi gave them an illusion that Hollywood is easy to explore.

…………

After a long flight, the plane arrived straight to Los Angeles.

This city is still so noisy. Just for the movie, the off-season in February has passed, and the Oscars are usually held in late March. After the event, it will be lively and will enter the summer season in the United States in May.

Price was greeted by her in person and couldn't wait to pull the two into the car. As we saw her along the way, she had already posted many Oscar promotional posters.

Arrive at the hotel.

Tsui Hark had his own itinerary, and Price immediately told Chen Qi, saying: "The Japanese acquired the record company and didn't even let go of the movie. They really planned to invade the United States. Colombia's finances are very bad. I think the board of directors is very moved. They have already watched "Rain Man" and want to put it in the summer."

"What's wrong with the summer vacation?"

"The summer season is a reservation for commercial blockbusters, to win the box office. Although "Rain Man" is not a pure art film, it is not commercial enough. How can it compete with it? Wouldn't that be wasted?

Let’s propose to the board of directors together, it’s better to put it in December.”

It is traditional to release the Olympic films in December, and a few works exploded during the summer season and eventually swept the Oscars, such as "Forrest Gump" and "Dancing with Wolves".

However, these two films have not yet been released, and there is no strong evidence, so it is no wonder Price is not confident.

But Chen Qi was not concerned about this, and he smiled and said, "You have a good mentality! Colombia is planning to sell it. You are still thinking about the company. Are you not afraid of kicking you out as soon as possible?"

"Kick me off, I don't have to worry about going there. I have to fulfill my responsibilities when I am in my position."

Prestone paused and said something in his heart: "I have been in charge of Colombia for several years, and my performance has not improved significantly. Even if I have not acquired it, I may not be able to stay for long."

“My thoughts are different from you!”

Chen Qi spoke slowly and said, "The Rain Man is also available in the summer season. The key is how to promote it. If you do it well, you can still make an end. What I am worried about is whether the changes in your company will affect my profits?"

"What do you mean?"

"I want to meet your chairman Kaufman!"

Price hesitated for a moment and sighed, "Okay, I'll make arrangements for you. This year is the last year of our cooperation. It seems that you will not continue to cooperate with Colombia. It seems that it is destined by heaven. It's a pity."

"It's hard to tell what's going on in the future. We will always be friends anyway."

Chen Qi photographed Price. This person is really mediocre. He has good personality, has a good reputation, and has a wide network of contacts. If he can, he would like to recruit him and take root with Jiang Zhiqiang.

…………

night.

Chen Qi had no time to make the jet lag and prepared to meet Kaufman overnight.

Sony's acquisition of Colombia was very strange from beginning to end. Not to mention the sky-high prices that alarmed the whole United States, after just talking about the acquisition, Sony promised not to intervene and hired Americans to manage Americans.

So he found two seniors to be co-CEOs with great cleverness.

These two people did not use Japanese money as money at all, and bought scripts at all unreasonable high prices, asked directors and actors, and tried hard. Jiang Wen kowtowed when he saw it, and Wang Jiawei burst into tears when he saw it...

Not only that, such as traveling around the world and holding luxury parties, private expenses are all counted on the company's accounts.

At that time, all Hollywood killed Colombia as a sucker. By 1994, it had a total loss of 3.2 billion US dollars! But Sony was still awesome. After paying the huge tuition fee, it did not close and slowly gained a foothold.

So it’s useless to get rid of it!

On this point, he was consistent with the Colombian board of directors, and some talked about it.

"Dingling!"

Just as Chen Qi was thinking about it, the phone suddenly rang in the room, and it was Bob Shay who called: "Chen! You happen to be in Los Angeles, this is great, I'll go find you right away!"

Um?
Chapter completed!
