Chapter 686
Duan Xiaochen stopped what he was doing, pushed the suitcase to the door of the room, then sat opposite Yan Yingzhen, and looked at her seriously: "What do you want to express? Is the company's future development centered on the Stars and Stripes? Or You have other ideas."
Yan Yingzhen looked at her with a smile, and nodded until Duan Xiaochen felt uncomfortable, "In the future, the company will increase its efforts to develop this market. Lao Du will spend at least one third of his time here every year. I even hope that he can concentrate on developing here for a period of time, make a few movies in Hollywood, release a few albums to people, and establish our company's brand."
Duan Xiaochen pursed his lips and thought for a while, "I agree with developing the Stars and Stripes country market, but if the investment is too large, will the company be unable to bear it?"
Yan Yingzhen rubbed her stomach subconsciously, "I have something to tell you. Anyway, in a few days, you should get the news. Juzhi Investment is close to completing the acquisition of 'Warner Bros. Pictures', only a little Small details have not been discussed yet. The acquisition of 'Albert \u0026 Sons Music' is also progressing well and will be completed in the near future."
Duan Xiaochen opened his mouth in surprise. "I thought you guys were going to acquire 'Universal Films', and you were caught in a tug-of-war!"
"That's just a cover."
Duan Xiaochen lowered his head and thought for a while, "In the future, do you plan to let Chasing Dream Huyu annex 'Warner', or do the two coexist?"
"Coexistence. The brand 'Warner Bros. Pictures' is hard-won and has been built for a hundred years. I am reluctant to give up," Yan Yingzhen talked eloquently. "At this stage, I will arrange for 'Warner Bros. Pictures' and Chasing Dream Interactive Entertainment to conduct more Some business connections have helped Zhumeng Huyu to establish the Stars and Stripes Country branch as soon as possible and gain a foothold in the Stars and Stripes Country. In the future, the two companies can also complement each other's resources. In my opinion, the coexistence of the two companies is more important than the merger. There are advantages. The two companies can develop in different directions."
"Then what do you want... Lao Du to do?"
"Let him check for Warner Bros. Pictures, spend more money in the past few years, create a few classic blockbusters, and reshape the brand image of Warner Bros. Pictures."
Duan Xiaochen was a little hesitant: "He... can he do it? Classic blockbusters don't mean that they can be produced with money. If they are willing to spend money to create classic blockbusters, Warner Bros. Pictures will not lose money every year. Until now It was sold to you by Time Warner."
Yan Yingzhen was full of confidence: "If he can't do it, I can't think of anyone else in the world who can do it."
"I really don't know where your confidence in him comes from." Duan Xiaochen's tone was not accusation, but envy.
"that is because,
"Yan Yingzhen took a deep look at her, "To some extent, I know him better than you. "
"It's coming again, it's coming again. Can you show off less?" Duan Xiaochen said helplessly.
Yan Yingzhen giggled, "I know he's showing off? I don't think so. What kind of showing off is this?"
Duan Xiaochen gave her a white look: "For me, it counts."
She secretly looked at Yan Yingzhen's stomach with envious eyes, got up and said, "You stay and wait for him, I'll go first. Don't get up, you sit down, don't see me off."
Yan Yingzhen stood up slowly, with a big belly, "Go back and rest for a while, I guess you will come to the Stars and Stripes soon, and it will be more difficult. Of course, Lao Du will come here frequently, When 'Wulin' comes out, I'm going to bring him in. I want him to be the vice president of Warner Bros. Pictures, directly in charge of the film and television production department, and bring Warner Bros. Pictures back to life in the next few years."
"You always arrange this and that. Don't you know that he hates being arranged by others the most?" Duan Xiaochen couldn't help persuading.
Yan Yingzhen obviously saw Du Caige more thoroughly, "Don't worry, as long as I promise to let him go and make the movie he wants to make, he will satisfy these arrangements."
"Are movies so important to him?" Duan Xiaochen didn't complain, but felt a little emotional.
Yan Yingzhen smiled and said: "If one day you want to break up with him, but you don't want to take the initiative to break up, you can go to him and say: 'Choose, between the movie and me, you can only choose one.' Then you It will come true.”
"Cut. I'll never let him choose."
...
When Du Caige returned to the hotel, he opened the door and saw Yan Yingzhen, and couldn't help shrinking his neck a little guilty.
"Congratulations, you have become the first Chinese person to win the Nebula Award. Creating history is already a common occurrence for you." Yan Yingzhen smiled.
"Thank you." Du Caige looked around.
"Are you looking for your diva lover?"
"Forehead?"
"She's gone." Yan Yingzhen said coldly.
"ah?"
"She dumped you, didn't want you anymore, and returned home by herself."
"oh."
Yan Yingzhen couldn't help but said, "Give me some reaction, isn't this performance too indifferent?"
Du Caige immediately said in shock: "What? She left?"
Yan Yingzhen shook her head again and again: "It's too exaggerated, this is not your strength. Your performance in "Wulin" and "Old Boy" is much better than this. Are you perfunctory me?"
Du Caige said embarrassingly: "There is no atmosphere, it is not easy to get into the drama."
Yan Yingzhen rolled her eyes at him, and instead of continuing to chat with him, she started talking about business.
"My belly is getting bigger and bigger, and soon it will be impossible to fly around frequently. Next, I will not be able to travel on business until the baby is half a year old. But things here cannot be ignored. "
"The two years just completed the acquisition are too critical. If we don't make adjustments immediately, and those chronic diseases are not corrected immediately, it will be even more difficult to change in the future."
"So after the acquisition is completed, drastic changes will be made immediately, personnel and systems, all of which need to be checked by someone."
"Of course I'll put people in to do it, but someone has to watch over the people I put in."
"I know you don't like cumbersome administrative affairs, but in the next year, as the second largest shareholder of Juzhi Investment, you must take responsibility and pay more attention to Warner Bros. Pictures, and don't let us This acquisition has become a joke."
"I know. Don't worry too much, pay attention to rest, and make sure the baby is healthy." Du Caige said succinctly.
"If you can take responsibility, I can worry less."
"I will." Du Caige's voice was full of determination.
Yan Yingzhen laughed.
"I know that when you make up your mind to do something, you will be able to do it well." She is more confident than Du Caige herself.
"In addition to checking the general direction of Warner Pictures after being acquired, I also hope that you will provide Warner Pictures with some support in terms of technology. Use your amazingly accurate vision to pick a few good scripts for Warner Pictures and find them. The right director and actors to shoot. Well, it would be even better if you were willing to write the script yourself."
"I proposed a 'two, five, ten' plan. It means 2 years, 5 films, 1 billion US dollars. Warner Pictures will have 5 major productions in the next 2 years, with a total investment of 1 billion US dollars. I hope that these five major productions can achieve good results, at least not lose money. If this goal is achieved, I think the century-old Warner Bros. Pictures can be rejuvenated in our hands."
"Actually, I'm not sure about big productions. Instead, it's better to use small ones to make big gains."
"No, it has to be a big production. A big company like Warner Pictures can't just do small things. You have to know that in the past two decades, Warner Pictures has produced 5-6 big productions almost every year. If It’s not that there are financial difficulties, I will propose 1, 8, 20. 2 billion investment a year, 8 major productions. Instead of a compromise of 2, 5, 10.”
"I will try my best to do it, but I have one condition." Du Caige boldly made the request.
Yan Yingzhen said kindly, "Say it."
"I'll take the child's name."
Yan Yingzhen narrowed her eyes with a smile, "Okay."
After a pause, she emphasized, "However, my surname must be Yan."
"Ah..." Du Caige raised his face.
Yan Yingzhen explained, "If there are two siblings, one surnamed Yan and the other surnamed Du, they will feel very strange. People ask them, why do you have different surnames? Are you not born to your parents, but adopted? How do they answer? I am worried that they will feel inferior."
Du Caige tentatively asked: "Then, can they all be named Du? Du Caiwei, um, it sounds pretty good."
"It depends." For the first time, Yan Yingzhen did not immediately refuse.
Du Caige cheered up: "What's the situation?"
Yan Yingzhen glanced at him, her eyes were charming and charming. "Look at your performance, I'll think about it."
"What performance?"
Yan Yingzhen laughed: "When you get the Oscar for Best Director, I will seriously consider it."
"This is difficult." Du Caige was not being hypocritical, but really difficult.
On earth, how many Chinese people have won the best director Oscar?
Note that it is Chinese, not foreign Chinese.
This thing, the proud Oscar Academy is unwilling to bring Chinese people to play.
In Azure Star, the situation is a little better, but Director Hua Guo has never won an Oscar.
"In short, this is my condition," Yan Yingzhen refused to budge, but her voice was unprecedentedly gentle, "Come on, I am optimistic about you."
