Chapter 548 I'll take a cut first!
During the past few days when Li Youzhi was preparing for his new film, Leziren netizens were not idle at all.
There are still four months to go until the Oscars. This time point is when movie fans around the world begin to discuss the ownership of various Oscars this year - to be precise, it has just begun.
At a time when the topic of the Oscars is getting hotter, Lindemann's announcement can be said to have pushed Li Youzhi to the opposite side of movie fans around the world, and became the first marketing hot spot for the Oscars this year - a reverse hot spot.
In order to protect Li Youzhi, Lezi people are fighting enemies from all sides on the Internet these days. They are fighting fiercely with international movie fans headed by Bangzi. They are very busy every day.
As for the suggestions given to Li Youzhi before, everyone has long forgotten them!
And now, looking at the group of "demons and monsters" in the photo in Li Youzhi's latest update, Leziren netizens... were completely dumbfounded;
"No...brother, what are these things in your photo?"
"Hiss~ Some of the faces in these magical species seem to have met each other several times. I especially remember the pervert standing in the middle position. He once played the role of the cute yellow-haired girl Yue at the party of Tongchen Society of Agricultural University. Hare... At this moment, just like that, this guy can't be the deputy general manager of Heguang Culture, right?"
"Hot! @ Listen to the advice brother Li Youzhi, what the hell is this? Why did the big guys of Waguang Culture suddenly become like this? My impression of this group of friends of Waguang Culture is still in their performance in Rongdian Who can tell me what happened when I was with the Japanese?"
Beep!
Received additional [Shock] stunning points, 2012920 points!
"..."
Li Youzhi blinked in the waiting room when he saw the question marks that instantly boiled up in the comment area below the latest news, and the system's amazing value-deposit prompt that popped up in front of his eyes.
It's not you scumbags... the suggestion was obviously made by you, right?
Didn't you say that you asked Brother Zhi to form a neat team that stands in the T0 version of American society, and stack up the BUFFs to put pressure on those arrogant white men on the Oscar selection committee?
Did Brother Zhi understand it wrong?
With this in mind, Li Youzhi silently forwarded a screenshot of the previous suggestion from a netizen to the comment area...and manually pushed it to the top!
“…I suggest you change your gender to a heterosexual lesbian relationship or a Walmart plastic bag hahahaha…”
"...I suggest that I ask the employees of Heguang Culture Group to change their gender to armed helicopters..."
In the dynamic comment area, after seeing several screenshots pinned by Li Youzhi, Leziren netizens were completely shocked!
"F*ck! Are you serious, Zhen? Even a fool can see that we are joking, right?!"
"No, little brother, I'm just saying that sometimes you really don't need to listen to advice like this... It's been three years, it's been three years and you still can't tell what is a joke and what is real advice? This is obviously an individual case. Some idiots are playing tricks, okay? Please, let those poor children like He Guang Tongchen go, do you think they are human anymore? [Yun Bei] [Hang your face.jpg]"
"The front... I don't think this matter has much to do with me. Look at these perverts in the photo. They don't look at all forced... You can see it from their perverted smiles. , They are really enjoying this perverted feeling, bastard!”
"No, Minato, this version is still too exciting for me. If it doesn't work, brother, you should just play the devil. It's true that you were wretched when you played the devil, but at least my heart didn't twitch after watching it. It’s so bad that my heartbeat stopped, Minato!”
"I can't stand it any more... Just one more look at me will destroy my spirit. Brother, I'm warning you. It's best to say that you are a Korean team when you go to the United States to film... Otherwise, I will have no shame in going abroad in the future! Ugh... …”
"I hereby officially declare that the perverted behavior of Waguang Culture is only the personal behavior of the company's internal personnel and has nothing to do with the vast audience and fans of Wako Culture! As for all the consequences and impacts caused by these perverts after going abroad, I will never Take the blame!”

"..."
Li Youzhi grinned as he looked at the flood of comments in the dynamic comment area of Leziren shareholders who were eager to split their image with Heguang Culture.
Tsk,
Look at you, you are doing this again.
It was you who made the suggestions, and it is you who are now anxious to separate the relationship... You really have no sense of responsibility at all!
Scumbag!
Silently despising the treacherous person in his heart, Li Youzhi put away his phone and cast his eyes on Tu Susu beside him.
Li Youzhi raised his eyebrows as he looked at the unusually well-behaved Tu Susu, who was wearing soundproof headphones and lying on the massage chair waiting quietly.
During this period of time, I had too many things to do and was too busy with business, so I didn't actually make much progress in Assistant Tu's training. But what makes Li Youzhi strange is...this time Tu Susu didn't have any resistance to following him to the United States for filming!
You want to know what kind of person Tu Susu is?
Too lazy to bubble!
When asked to do something, she would often come over with a lot of complaints and cynicism before she even started.
Now, seeing this little girl's abnormal attitude, Li Youzhi leaned over;
"Hey? Susu, why do you feel a little weird lately?"
(ˇˇ)
Facing Li Youzhi who suddenly came in front of him, Tu Susu was obviously startled.
"Wha, what's weird? What's wrong with me..."
"..."
You are very strange now...
Li Youzhi was speechless for a moment as he examined Tu Susu, who was clutching his chest like a frightened little rabbit but not cursing wildly.
If you had been suddenly startled in the past, you would have gone berserk.
"Tsk, I can't put it into words, I just feel... your recent emotions and expressions, there is just a certain kind of... um..."
After organizing the language a little in his mind, Li Youzhi's mind brightened;
"She is as obedient as a young lady who was sold to a brothel and accepted her fate... Su Su, did I do something right recently that made you have a good impression of me? Are you so obedient? It feels like... …Are you all gentle?”
? ? ? ? ?
Listening to Li Youzhi's shameless words and looking at his serious face, Tu Susu couldn't hold back any longer.
Go on a horse and listen to what you say is human language? !
I used to feel that I was too mean to you and that I was too willful, so I got a little better for a little while and behaved for a little while, but now you say this?
If you hadn't gone to TKTK every day to flirt with girls these days, as a mature frog mother, I would be worried that you would be seduced by those coquettish bitches due to lack of love. Who would like to be like this? Hundan!
(`^)
Taking a deep breath, Tu Susu, who was about to have an attack, slowly exhaled the breath in his chest.
(ˊˋ*)
"Yeah, hahahahaha... Maybe it's because you haven't arranged any specific work for me during this period. My life is relatively relaxed and comfortable. I don't have the work spirit in my heart. My endocrine system is more coordinated. Hahahaha... By the way, President, this time The plane journey is quite long, so I specially bought a lot of snacks. We don’t know what flavor you like on the way, so I bought some of each type, spicy, mild... If you want If you're bored, just mess with me."
( ̄┏∞┓ ̄)
Seeing Tu Susu opening the bag he carried with him like a treasure, and seeing a lot of snacks inside, Li Youzhi pursed his lips and became extremely vigilant on his face.
No, no,
This attitude is definitely not the Tu Susu I know.
There are unruly people who want to harm me!
Beside him, Tu Susu became numb as he saw the alertness and vigilance slowly emerging on Li Youzhi's face.
Damn it!
Didn't the three military advisors in the dormitory say that to capture a man's heart, you must first capture his stomach?
But what the hell is this expression of fear of being poisoned! ?
This is different from what the military advisers said, different! ! ! !
Beep!
Received Tu Susu’s additional [Crazy] stunning value, 66 points, 66 points, 66 points...
…
It takes exactly fifteen hours to arrive at Los Angeles International Airport from Shanghai-Hai Airport.
I took advantage of the time on the plane to catch up on the initial jet lag. After arriving in Los Angeles and meeting a group of rebels, I caught up on my sleep. It happened to be the morning of local Los Angeles time.
Li Youzhi, who has completely recovered from jet lag, is truly resurrected with full health.
Although Li Youzhi is in China these days, preparations for the filming of "Parasite" have already begun under the supervision of Wang Hui and Subona.
Including the decoration of the shooting location and the rental of some equipment that was inconvenient to bring from China, this has been almost done through Subona's relationship. For director Li Youzhi, there is not much work to do at this stage.
After all... a group of villains don't have such incredible adjustment ability as themselves. Team members including Liu Meng have been struggling with the time difference in the past two days.
Li Youzhi is not so anxious about starting the filming of "Parasite".
In fact, aside from some buff changes added to the script this time, the story of "Parasite" itself is relatively simple, and there are relatively few scenes shot.
For example, the most expensive location for filming is the "slum basement" where the protagonist Ki-woo's family lives, and the "rich man's mansion" where the story mainly takes place.
In Hollywood, this kind of typical shooting location is not difficult to find.
After inspecting the rented venue with Subona and Wang Hui and deciding on the shooting decoration plan, Li Youzhi handed over this detailed work to Wang Hui.
He himself went directly to the TKTK headquarters in Los Angeles - knowing that he was coming to the United States to film a movie this time, Xu Haonian had called him a week earlier and told Li Youzhi to make sure to go to TKTK when he arrived.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Youzhi arrived downstairs at the TKTK US headquarters building in a commercial nanny car temporarily rented by Subona in Los Angeles.
In the lobby on the first floor, Li Youzhi had just explained his appointment and intention to the security guard when he heard a burst of fast footsteps of leather shoes.
"Okay, okay, if you want to make an appointment or not, come here quickly. You kid, you said you were coming to the United States. I waited for you for more than a week before you left, but you didn't come over to say hello first when you arrived!"
Standing in the hall, Li Youzhi was happy when he saw Xu Haonian, who was wearing a custom-made suit. His energy was much better than at home, but the bags under his eyes were visibly green. It was obvious that he had been seriously deprived of sleep recently.
"Brother Xu, it's not my fault. You have a business job with TKTK here, and it's convenient to enter the country. I'm engaged in cultural work, and the agency blocked me for five or six days before I was able to get through. Besides, I'm here Didn’t I just finish arranging the crew’s affairs and come here to find you? How can you still pick on me?”
After being given a bear hug by Xu Haonian in front of a group of American employees, Li Youzhi carefully looked at the new TKTK president in front of him who had been "kidnapped" by him to the United States.
"Good guy, Brother Xu has been staying up late recently! The bags under his eyes are droopy. When you reach middle age, you can't compare with our younger ones. You have to pay attention to maintenance!"
Beep!
Received the stunning value of Xu Haonian’s [Resentment], 55 points...
"Brat!"
After being teased by Li Youzhi, Xu Haonian punched him directly.
Realizing that there were too many people on the first floor, he waved his hand and led Li Youzhi to the elevator while starting to complain in Chinese.
"I really want to take care of it, but after I took over this crappy place, how can I take care of it? You don't know about the many bad things that happen every day... Now the country requires me to make a report every week. Regarding TKTK’s platform business growth and stock market performance, she had to attend the hearings from time to time and compete with the white bureaucrats. Wen Ting, a little girl, is now acting like a chief legal officer. Just waiting to see my joke! I blame you. If it weren’t for you, I would have been so strong with five oysters and a cup of wolfberry in China! "
Under the guidance of Xu Haonian, Li Youzhi walked into the high-rise special elevator. Hearing Xu Haonian's complaints, Li Youzhi couldn't help but be happy.
But I can only be happy...
After all, Xu Hao's coming to the United States is really his own fault, and he should bear the blame.
"What the hell, let's just say it's just busy. I don't have a private life here anymore, and I don't even have anyone to talk to. If you don't come here, I'm thinking of asking your sister-in-law to give the child to the elderly at home first. Come and talk to me!"
After leading Li Youzhi all the way to the CEO office on the top floor, Xu Haonian's nagging came to an end.
After bringing a cup of coffee to Li Youzhi and sitting down on the large leather sofa, Xu Haonian pointed at Li Youzhi.
"Okay, just tell me. Xiaozhi, I know all about the turmoil between you and Oscar a few days ago. What do you think about this time? You really just want to film in peace and quiet. Or do you want to cause trouble in the United States to cause more trouble for Oscar? "
Or maybe they are gay!
Facing Xu Haonian's inquiry, Li Youzhi laughed.
As expected, the person coaxed from China was a close friend, and he could see through Brother Zhi’s intentions at a glance!
What is the purpose of doing "Parasite" this time?
Isn’t it just to bring excitement to the Oscars and bring some intensity to America’s film and television industry?
However, before Li Youzhi could speak, Xu Haonian put down the coffee cup and pointed at it.
"Forget it, I don't need to ask. With your temper, you definitely didn't hold anything back when you came to the United States this time. I saw the trembling news in your country. Look at what your classmates are doing. Posture? You look like you're going to fight Hollywood with an iron fist. Although I don't know what you want to make in your new movie, I know the content will be more exciting than "Buried Alive". In fact, I want to follow you. That’s what I’m talking about.”
When it came to serious matters, Xu Haonian sat upright slightly.
"I don't care what kind of evil you are holding back, please don't get angry for now. After all, TKTK has opened a user data channel with Heguang Audiovisual, and the cooperation between our two companies is no longer a secret in the United States. And "Buried Alive" is now also The movie and TV push that has been logged into TKTK is being promoted to TKTK users in the United States in the first free streaming movie operation method.”
Facing Xu Haonian's warning, Li Youzhi really didn't understand...
"Brother Xu, this isn't right. Our two families are now cooperating. If I do something, don't I just create traffic for TKTK... Why are you asking me to keep a low profile when I just come here?"
"You know nothing!"
Seeing Li Youzhi's unconvinced face, Xu Haonian laughed and cursed and explained;
"TKTK is now facing relatively high performance pressure. The current attitude of domestic groups is to try their best to delay the acquisition of the TKTK platform by the United States. But if it cannot be delayed, they will try to increase the platform's stock price as much as possible and strive to give up the stock price at the highest level. Even if we lose our job, we can at least have a full meal. Apart from politics during this time in the United States, the biggest topic in the field of culture and entertainment is the Oscars, so we are talking with Oscar officials here. This award ceremony is exclusively authorized to be broadcast online.”
Speaking of this, Xu Haonian nodded to Li Youzhi and continued to smile;
"If you kid makes trouble at this point in time, firstly, the identity of your partner may bring variables to TKTK's negotiation. Secondly... if we really conclude the negotiation, you kid will give Oscar trouble." If you come out with some negative information, won’t it be me who loses?”
Minato,
That’s what happened.
Li Youzhi wrinkled his nose knowing that Xu Haonian's real intention to find him this time was to let him give way first and provide a stable environment for TKTK and Oscar's cooperation negotiations.
I asked you why you summoned Brother Zhi so eagerly. You are afraid that Brother Zhi’s stick is too powerful and will ruin your next plan!
I really thought you missed Brother Zhi, your feelings were so aroused just now, yes!
Although he complained in his heart, Li Youzhi understood Xu Haonian's current situation.
"Tsk, Brother Xu, how are you talking about now? I'm afraid the licensing fee is not cheap for this exclusive Oscar ceremony?"
"Hi,"
Faced with Li Youzhi's prying, Xu Haonian had no intention of hiding anything. After all, TKTK and Heguang Audio and Video now have access to user data. The two are strategic partners. There is no need to hide some commercial things in front of Li Youzhi.
"The licensing quotation has been sent, but we have not yet received a reply from the Oscar organizing committee. According to the quotations in previous years, this year our TKTK has given us US$500 million. I don't know if we can get it..."
"Seize the young master?"
Li Youzhi was shocked when he heard the price Xu Haonian said.
Damn it, an exclusive online live broadcast of the Oscars ceremony, costing US$500 million...more than 300 billion yuan?
This price is crazy!
It is also the annual live broadcast of the domestic Spring Festival Gala with the highest traffic, which is a matter of 12.3 billion. The global audience of an Oscar is not as high as that of the Spring Festival Gala, but the price is twice as expensive and why is it so wrong?
Facing Li Youzhi's surprise, Xu Haonian also smiled wryly and spread his hands.
"It's outrageous, I think it's outrageous too. But there's nothing you can do about it, in order to attract traffic and stimulate new user growth points and stock value for the platform. That's how the market is here. In fact, Oscar is not particularly outrageous."
Damn, that's so heartless!
Hearing Xu Haonian's inside story, Li Youzhi's eyes were opened.
"Brother Xu, how can you make money back by offering such a high quotation? Five hundred million US dollars... this is it."
"The loss is definitely a loss. If advertising is embedded, the platform is estimated to have a revenue of more than 100 million US dollars. Taking into account the increase in new users and the increase in stock prices, it can only be said that it is not bad. If the operation is done well, it can cause trouble. It’s almost flat.”
Tsk…
After taking a deep breath of cold air, Li Youzhi felt that his back molars were no longer itchy.
Mom,
Sure enough, people are so infuriating... Brother Zhi made so much trouble that he only earned less than 400 million soft girl coins from "Buried Alive".
As a result, the Oscar network broadcast authorization cost only 500 million U.S. dollars.
This is really a world beyond my own knowledge.
If you include the advertising revenue from the Oscars itself, as well as other parts, such as traditional media licensing and derivative cultural and creative revenue, wouldn't the organizers of the Oscars have to make a net profit of more than one billion after one event?
This money is so profitable!
Jingle bell bell bell bell bell,
Just when Li Youzhi was thinking this, the phone on Xu Haonian's desk suddenly rang.
Making a gesture to Li Youzhi to stay away, Xu Haonian stood up and answered the phone.
Sitting on the sofa, Li Youzhi blinked as he watched Xu Haonian's expression change from a smile to a serious one.
It wasn't until Xu Haonian said "IKNOW" several times on the other end of the phone and hung up the phone that Li Youzhi, who saw that it was getting late, tentatively asked;
"Brother Xu, if you are busy, why don't I withdraw first. Let's talk after you get off work in the evening?"
"It's okay, no, it's no big deal. It's still the Oscar end. The colleague who was in charge of contacting the Oscar preparatory committee just now said that there was a reply saying that they were not satisfied with our quotation and asked us to raise our expectations."
Hiss~~~~~~~
Hearing this, Li Youzhi really had a toothache - he was jealous!
The licensing fee of 500 million is ridiculous, but they still don’t agree to raise the expectations... This appetite is really a bit big!
"No, Brother Xu. Let's just say, is it necessary to get the Oscar's online live broadcast authorization?"
"There is no way. Like the Oscars, the NBA Finals, the NFL Super Bowl, these traditional American cultural and sports festivals are all must-win as an online social platform. If you don't win it, if other platforms win it, it will be a traffic threat to you. In fact, it will be a traffic threat to you. The Oscar is not too outrageous. For last year’s NFL Super Bowl, TKTK quoted a price of 1 billion to the NFL. In the end, it actually cost 1.4 billion to win.”
"..."
Listening to the information revealed by Xu Haonian, Li Youzhi felt that he had made the right trip to the United States.
See the world!
I used to think that revenue of tens of millions or hundreds of millions was already a big deal.
As a result, the business here can easily reach more than one billion US dollars. With this deal completed, Brother Zhi will get his SSS-level fortune of tens of billions of dollars!
With this kind of trance like a frog in a well, Li Youzhi chatted absentmindedly with Xu Haonian for a while, then made an appointment to have dinner together tomorrow night and left the TKTK headquarters.
This trance even lasted the whole night.
Until Li Youzhi finished venting his energy in the hotel gym and returned to the room, his mind was still dominated by Xu Haonian's "five hundred million US dollars" lofty offer.
Lying in bed, Li Youzhi felt as uncomfortable as being bitten by bugs when he thought about the money that Oscar had earned.
Damn it, Brother Zhi wants to earn this money under his real name!
Unable to sleep, Li Youzhi directly opened the [American Labor Dispatch Special Group] of Heguang Culture, and did not care whether a group of rebellious sons could adjust to the time difference, and directly sent out 100 lucky red envelopes with a total amount of 1 yuan.
Beep!
Received the amazing value with the additional [contempt], 3219 points!
With the system amazing value crediting notification in his ear, Li Youzhi felt a little more comfortable after watching the complaints and scolding in the group.
"Brothers and sisters, excavators, helicopters, 052Ds... This afternoon I learned that the online live broadcast licensing fee for the Oscars this year is as high as 500 million US dollars. I am so envious and jealous that I can't sleep. What should I do if I have insomnia? Seek advice online!"
With the mentality that if I don't have a good life, everyone should not have a good life, Li Youzhi typed a paragraph of text and sent it to the group.
Liu Meng: "Fuck! Is this true? Oscar IP is so valuable?"
Wang Hui: "No... This is too outrageous, right? More than 3 billion RMB! A live broadcast right? Is Oscar made of gold or silver?"
Zhou Yuan: "Let's make a movie, Zhige, let's not make a movie. No, let's each buy a pair of stockings and an AK, and wait for the Oscars to go to the venue to make it bigger and stronger. We can only make ten "Buried" to make the same as the revenue of one Oscar! Don't say you can't sleep, I can't sleep either!"
Tu Susu: "God of gold, right? Sending a few cents of red envelopes in the middle of the night? For a ceremony of the Oscars, this price should be considered reasonable, right? If you feel envious, I suggest you create a movie award yourself. Keep hosting it for dozens of times and attract tens of millions of viewers around the world. Maybe you can also sell it for hundreds of millions of dollars in licensing fees."
Beep!
Received a suggested task (create a movie award yourself), the task difficulty is 5 stars, and you can get a C-level reward treasure chest after completing it!
Wuhu?
Looking at the suggested tasks refreshed by Assistant Tu in front of him with sarcasm, Li Youzhi raised his eyebrows.
Hiss~
That's a good idea.
!
Suddenly thinking of something, Li Youzhi rolled over from the bed and opened his laptop.
After a frantic search, a burst of arrogant laughter came from his room.
Next door.
Tu Susu, who was applying a mask on her face, put down her phone. Just when she wanted to add some essence water to the mask, she heard a crazy laugh from next door.
"Wow, hahahaha... Tu Susu, I fucking love you! There are no rotten tomatoes in this world, no rotten tomatoes! This nonsense, Brother Zhi, I've decided!"
Hearing Li Youzhi's crazy voice, Tu Susu felt that the skin under the mask was burning.
But at the same time, she frowned.
Rotten tomatoes...?
What is that?
