708. "Inception" premiere [5000]

Mark's life has been very busy recently but also fulfilling. After Facebook's listing, the market has been bullish. In addition to the small fluctuations at the beginning, it has been soaring all the way. Until now, the price per share has reached $55.

The most direct and good mood to Mark is naturally the rise in his stock price, and his value has also risen. Now he is also a billionaire with billions of dollars. The huge increase in value brought by his listing makes Mark very satisfied from the inside out.

And there is also good news that he is finally going to marry his Chinese girlfriend Priscilla Chen. After almost 8 years of love, he can finally marry a beautiful woman. Mark's mood is also particularly clear.

When Ye Sumang called, Mark was processing a document, but when he saw that it was Ye Sumang's phone call, he immediately stopped the signing pen in his hand and picked up the phone.

"Hi, brother, the stock price today is $56.312. Seeing such a high price, have you finally figured out that you want to sell the shares to me?" Mark asked immediately as soon as he answered the phone.

"I think, but can you afford it?" Ye Sumang smiled and replied directly.

After hearing this, Mark couldn't help but grab his curl in annoyance: "Okay, I can't afford it, but can you tell me why you called? You know, there is still one month left for the wedding, and I'm almost busy now."

"A good news, you will definitely like it." Ye Sumang looked at David Finch sitting opposite him and said directly: "Someone wants to make a movie with your entrepreneurial experience. How about it? Are you interested?"

"What? Are you saying true!?" Mark asked with his eyes widened in surprise.

Speaking of which, Mark is very smart and has a down-to-earth job. He is also loyal to love, but his only small flaw is that he likes to show off. Especially after he has achieved success, Facebook, the two founders of Facebook, has always been two extremes in the Facebook world. Ye Sumang's Facebook posts only talk a few pages, which is extremely low-key. On the contrary, Mark's Facebook is even more urgent than the posts of celebrities who urgently need popularity. It requires at least a dozen items a day, including what delicious meals he ate, and even decorating his own toilet, he has to "share" with netizens.

In Ye Sumang's view, these are summed up in one word, that is, a person who is "unwilling to be lonely". It seems that he always likes to attract people's attention in various ways. This is also the thing that Mark is most jealous of Ye Sumang, because Ye Sumang doesn't seem to need to do anything every time, and those eyes are automatically focused on him.

At this moment, Ye Sumang proposed to take his autobiography. He was just to meet his preferences. Mark nodded immediately after almost a few seconds of consideration.

"Ye, this time you really did something beautiful. I love you, muma~!" Mark said excitedly on the phone.

"I will give the director your contact information later, and you can communicate with yourself. In addition, I hope you can tell your story more seriously and the screenwriter will help you complete the matter of adding fuel to the fire." After Ye Sumang said that, he hung up the phone directly. He completely ignored the Mark who was already screaming and screaming, and was crazy excitedly.

"Mr. David, fulfill your mission. Mark seems to be willing to accept your ideas." Ye Sumang put away his phone and said to David Finch with a smile.

David Finch showed a smile on his face, but he still had a hint of regret.

"Mr. Ye, do you really not think about it anymore?"

"No, you know that there is too much news about me. Besides, I'm still very young. Maybe I will find you in ten years and ask you to help me shoot an autobiography. Now I don't have enough qualifications." Ye Sumang stood up with a smile and stretched out his hand: "In addition, you need funds, right? We, Miramax, are willing to invest in you."

"Wow. This is really great. Thank you for your generosity." David Finch finally showed an excited smile on his face. Although he did not get Ye Sumang's consent, he at least brought another celebrity Mark. What's more important is that investment has a direction. Since Ye Sumang opened this mouth, David Finch believed that the investment he didn't want was enough to satisfy his lack of investment, and he didn't need to run around to deal with all kinds of rich people.

After sending David Finch away, Ye Sumang didn't need to come forward again for the next thing, so naturally he had someone to discuss investment with him.

Ye Sumang's attention was naturally poured into "Inception".

First of all, the schedule of the movie has been officially confirmed in early November. Speaking of which, the box office of Hollywood movies this year is still quite different from last year. Last year, two movies with a total of more than 600 million yuan were released, and the highest-grossing movies so far this year have just exceeded 400 million. Although some people still invest in the 3D industry, it is obvious that the novelty has passed and the audience is not particularly buying it.

Another good news is the competition for schedules.

For some reason, in 2010, all the excellent movies in North America were released in the summer vacation. In May and June, it was a tragic killing, and blood flowed into a river. Compared with Ye Sumang, there were fewer opponents released in November.

The most important thing to pay attention to is the enduring magical masterpiece "Harry Potter". In November this year, this film will release its seventh work "Deathly Hallows". In addition to "Harry Potter", Disney will also release a classic animation "Raptor Princess". Apart from these, basically no movie can compete with Ye Sumang in terms of fame.

This is not good news for Ye Sumang. Without strong competitors, it means that there can be a higher gear rate, which will undoubtedly have a very positive impact on the box office.

During this period, Ye Sumang also took a slight return to Kyoto and personally held a meeting for Tianxia News Corporation, clarifying the direction of development.

Since its establishment, the World News Group has immediately become the most popular company in the circle. Its twelve newspapers and media have attracted the influence of covering the media. There is probably no media that dares to say that they can compete with it. In fact, when Ye Sumang connected them together, the prototype of the largest newspaper group in China has already appeared.

They are a whole, but they have a healthy competitive relationship with each other. Ye Sumang returned to China to formulate reward and punishment measures for them so that they can do things under the rules. They will not overestimate their identities because of competition and eventually cause internal disagreement, which will make outsiders laugh at.

Fortunately, Ye Sumang considered this when he acquired the newspaper. Although they were both in the entertainment industry, there was competition due to regional reasons. However, their relationships with each other were not bad. This is one of the reasons why Ye Sumang could sit together so calmly so quickly.

Of course, while restraining them, Ye Sumang did not forget the generous rewards.

One of the reasons for the reward is to stabilize the morale of the army. A newspaper has two different wealth. One is its reputation, that is, the title of the newspaper. This is a kind of inheritance and the most precious thing of the newspaper. If you lose your reputation, it will be the same as losing your life.

And the second thing is naturally a reporter.

Don’t underestimate reporters. Journalists treat newspapers like celebrities and brokerage companies. Especially some famous reporters, the connections they hold in their hands are even more important to newspapers.

Improved treatment is to make them feel at ease. Ye Sumang sent out a signal of kindness so that they would not have the idea of ​​changing jobs for the sake of the newspaper change.

Of course, there is a more important reward in addition to this, that is investment.

The development of a newspaper is inseparable from sufficient funds, especially at the moment when newspapers are seriously impacted by the Internet, the financial background of a newspaper is particularly critical, which is simply the core issue for survival.

"I make a promise here. I will set a scoring standard for all newspapers, which will be evaluated every three years. I will give additional financial rewards to upgrade the scale of your newspaper..."

As soon as this reward measure was introduced, all the editors present were red.

"President Ye, take this seriously." A middle-aged woman wearing glasses and wearing capable short hair asked seriously.

"Do you think I need to joke with you on such a formal occasion?" Ye Sumang stood on the stage, staring at the woman and said seriously.

Under Ye Sumang's gaze, the middle-aged woman felt a little trembling in her heart. She quickly replied in an apology tone, "Sorry, it's mainly because your reward has made me so excited. President Ye, don't worry, our newspaper will definitely strive to achieve the best within three years!"

"Ms. Liu, don't be too slow. President Ye, our South China News Agency is also here to make a promise to ensure that what you do will satisfy you."

"The same is true for our Hexi newspaper..."

"And our xx newspaper..."

The group of people made a passionate statement at the moment. There was no way, Ye Sumang's reward was so tempting.

What does a person live for the rest of his life? Some are for fame, some are for power, and some are for money. Ye Sumang's reward undoubtedly satisfys all this.

You should know that although the shares are in Ye Sumang's hands, every editor-in-chief and main reporter is also doing shares and paying dividends. The most direct benefit of the newspaper expansion is them, and the dividends in their hands will undoubtedly increase a lot invisibly.

And more importantly, the expansion of newspapers means the improvement of the status of newspapers, and the more reporters they can command under their command. Who doesn’t want to be the president of a famous newspaper in the country?

Such a thing of gaining fame and fortune is naturally something that everyone has to earn.

However, Ye Sumang did not forget to pour cold water on them, and there would be punishments if there were rewards.

"Don't be too happy too early. In addition to rewards and punishments, this set of scoring standards, if the score does not exceed the passing line within three years, I don't mind finding a new owner for you. Remember that I only have the spirit of struggle and ability to strive for the best of my colleagues, those who want to herd sheep or go with the flow, sorry, the world's film and television company does not raise idle people!"

This sentence made the people below immediately restrain their smiles. Ye Sumang's words gave them alert, but more motivation. After all, all media outlets before the News Group were formed were also well-known. If they really couldn't meet the passing line required by Ye Sumang in the end, then they would have no shame to meet their colleagues.

October passed without realizing it, and Ye Sumang and everyone in the company celebrated a grand birthday party for Zhou Xun.

This time, after "Inception" chose Zhou Xun as the heroine, the little woman's value in China once again increased. It seems that every cooperation with Ye Sumang will cause an extremely good reaction in China. Before the film was released, many international brands have already offered higher prices than originally sought endorsement cooperation. The public is obviously looking forward to Zhou Xun's performance in the movie.

This is definitely a good thing for Tianxia Film and Television Group.

At present, Liu Yifei is basically out of business at home, so she can't count it. The real pillar of the World Film and Television Group is still Zhou Xun, and it can only be Zhou Xun. Only her fame and popularity can match Shangtianxia Film and Television Group. Although Liu Shishi, Yuan Hong and others are very popular, their qualifications are still a bit insufficient under the premise of such a large background company in the World Film and Television Group.

Perhaps when they can still be with good works after they are thirty years old, they may be able to take over Zhou Xun's class.

Time passed day by day, and November 3 was about to arrive, and this day was officially released in November. Its name is "Inception".

As one of the most anticipated movies this year, its premiere naturally cannot continue its previous low-key.

Ye Sumang's business this year has also made him meet many celebrities and media. At the entrance of the Grand Theater, a red carpet that is dozens of meters long runs from the door to the intersection, and the red carpet is surrounded by reporters. It looks like there are at least dozens of people. As luxury cars stop at the intersection, big stars also stepped on the red carpet and walked into the theater.

"Wow, George Clooney!"

"Oh my God, who did I see? It turned out to be Angelina Jolie, oh, my big mouth baby. How did she know director Ye?"

"And this, isn't this Costa Fanning? She also came to support her. The little girl is getting more and more beautiful as she grows."

The reporters kept taking photos, and couldn't help but sigh, including actors who had worked with Ye Sumang before, such as Madeline, Karan McOlifi, etc., all of them were absent.

Obviously, Ye Sumang made all the reporters present realize from the side how good he is in handling interpersonal relationships in the crew, and every actor who has worked with him will maintain a good relationship.

As the protagonist, Cusack was naturally in the back, and Zhou Xun was also sitting in the same car as him.

When the two got off the car, they naturally caused a sensation, but the sensation was mixed with some unfriendly information.

"She is Zhou Xun. She looks so thin, and the aesthetic views of Orientals are so strange."

"Can she really act in this drama well? I am very confident in Ye Sumang, but this girl, nonono."

"What if he doesn't matter, take a photo, and you'll know the answer soon."

Media reporters obviously still lack confidence in Zhou Xun. Even though she was shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Actress, it was an Oriental movie after all, Kung Fu, and this is a science fiction film, and the two cannot be compared.

But they didn't dare to shout loudly, they just dared to mutter a few words in private. If they hadn't had their faces been exposed, Zhou Xun wouldn't have even noticed their doubts.

"Don't worry, you are great. You can slap them hard in a while." Cusack also noticed the reporter's small movements on the side. While maintaining a smile on the corner of his mouth, he quietly encouraged Zhou Xun beside him.

You should know that Ye Sumang has given priority to taking good care of this woman. Cusack naturally has to do it seriously and always pay attention to Zhou Xun’s updates.

Zhou Xun still maintained her demeanor and kept waving her hands and smiling.

"Don't worry, I'm mentally prepared."

That's true. Not to mention that Zhou Xun didn't hear any bad words, she wouldn't care even if she heard them. She has been in this circle for more than ten years, and her heart has been tempered.

If Zhou Xun and Cusack's appearance was a small ***k, then the appearance of Ye Sumang and Liu Yifei completely detonated the scene.

As the most popular celebrity couple in the world, the two will become the most focused existence every time they appear in front of the camera.

"Mr. Ye, do you have great confidence in this movie?"

"Of course, you will soon know why I have such strong confidence."

"Mr. Ye, the previous few promotional videos can see that your movie is very complicated. Will this cause obstacles to the audience?"

"Of course not. As long as you work hard, you will understand that this movie seems complicated, but it is actually simple."

"Ms. Liu, Mr. Ye generously presented you with an island a while ago. What do you think about this?"

"What else can I have, happiness, touching, happiness, and many wonderful words can be described, but don't think too complicatedly about it. We are husband and wife..."

"Mr. Ye, Miss Liu..."

Media reporters seized almost every minute and every second to ask. Ye Sumang and Liu Yifei walked for 7.8 minutes before stepping through the red carpet that was only a few dozen meters short.

When he entered the theater, the audience had not yet entered the venue. Ye Sumang first greeted every guest who came to support the venue before taking Liu Yifei to the theater's private room.

Time passed slowly, and the premiere began to get closer and closer. When there was only half an hour left, the theater finally began to enter the audience and media reporters.

Nearly a hundred reporters who were lucky enough to get tickets soon flocked to the theater, and the empty screening hall was instantly filled with people.

"Wow, I can watch Ye Sumang's movie again. I have been looking forward to this day for a year."

"Ye Sumang's science fiction film must be very cool."

"I can't wait to know the content of the movie for a while. My mind was messed up when I watched the trailer. I don't believe that with my IQ, I wouldn't be able to understand a movie unless he made it very bad..."

The audience holding all kinds of expectations quickly waited for the moment they wanted. As the lighting in the screening room dimmed, "Inception" officially kicked off to the audience... (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
