In the Lincoln car, Marilyn joked: "When I woke up in the morning and heard that Boss was coming, the female receptionist who punched something in her chest spent half an hour fixing her makeup. I guess many people now know that Boss is coming, and
I want to go to a big production."
Fang Zhe squinted his eyes and said nothing, as if he was dozing off. Marilyn continued to stir up the atmosphere: "The competition in Hollywood is so cruel. If you want the same opportunity, you have to compete with many people. Sometimes necessary transactions are normal.
"
"What's the attitude of Twentieth Century Fox recently?" Fang Zhe suddenly asked this question, because this is Pinnacle Pictures' long-standing partner.
After hearing this, Marilyn sat up straight, leaned closer and asked in a low voice: "What do you mean by Boss, do you want to cooperate with another company?"
Fang Zhe shook his head: "It's not about changing to another company. If they insist on the lowest share, then they can only cooperate with another company. There are six major companies in Hollywood, not just Fox."
"I understand, and I will fight for a better condition from them. The distribution capability of Summit Pictures is indeed too weak. Every time we release a new film, we have to cooperate with Fox, and we have suffered a lot. After I took office
They have been striving for better conditions, but they have never relented, largely because Boss is a Chinese."
"Well, Wall Street really doesn't have much control over Hollywood. For this big production, talk to Fox later and ask them if they have any intention of investing. With big investments, big returns, and big risks."
When we parked in front of the company, many people were waiting downstairs. The heads of several departments were there. Not to mention that Americans don’t like to have a welcome and drop-off ceremony. They did it more openly. You can feel that,
These people really support Fang Zhe. After all, such a generous boss is rare in Hollywood.
Duan Mei had already arrived at Part 1 first, but didn't come out to greet her.
"There were too many people at the gate, so I didn't join in the fun." This is what Duan Mei said when she saw Fang Zhe.
Fang Zhe didn't care about this and waved his hand casually: "It doesn't matter. Have you finished the script? Have you registered the copyright?"
"Of course, it's registered under the name of a private studio." As he spoke, Fang Zhe took out the script. He glanced at the name and handed it to Marilyn: "Let someone take it and make a copy. Be prepared to be the producer yourself. Then think about it.
I am thinking about who would be more suitable to direct this project. This is a big production and the company’s original directors will find it difficult to handle it.”
"Does Boss have an expected candidate in mind?" Marilyn asked specifically. Fang Zhe stopped and turned around: "I want the truck driver to be the director. Do you think it is realistic? Let's spread the news first and see if any director takes the initiative to contact you.
us."
"Where are the actors? Start selecting now, or wait until the director is confirmed." Marilyn did not mean to make the decision, but asked for instructions in advance. The reason is naturally because this is a big production, and Fang Zhe attaches great importance to it.
"Well, if you're an actress, you must have a good figure. This is an action movie, so your skills can't be too bad." Fang Zhe tried hard to recall that there are female stars with bulging figures in Hollywood, and they started their careers in action movies.
As a result, after thinking about it for a long time, one came to mind: Angelina Jolie, the original star of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Fang Zhe had forgotten who the male lead was. She is a man. After watching Tomb Raider, who could not be deeply moved?
Remember those long legs under those leather pants.
"Well, there is one person who can send out audition invitations first, Angelina Jolie. Yes, that's her."
Marilyn was actually very surprised. This actress was not very famous now, so how could Fang Zhe know about her? You want to talk about Julia Roberts or Nicole Kidman, such big stars, Fang Zhe
Zhe knows that they are normal. After all, people in China can still see the movies starring them.
"Should we consider the more famous actresses? After all, this is a big production." Marilyn was still very responsible.
Duanmei interjected: "My brother is very accurate in judging people." This was a kind reminder. Marilyn understood it immediately and put on her clothes to listen to the instructions.
"You are the producer. After reading the script, you can send out invitations according to the candidates in your mind. There is no need to ask for instructions on everything."
I stayed at Summit Pictures for half a day and ordered takeout for lunch. After a meeting, Marilyn was confirmed as the producer of the crew. As for the director, we still have to wait and see. Anyway, there are no major events in China now, so Fang Zhe can’t
Don't worry about Nasdaq, so I will stay for a long time and keep an eye on Yun Jue to prevent her from getting involved.
This worry is not unnecessary. Fang Zhe understands Yun Jue's character very well. He is also a master who is eager to prove himself. Yun Jue may not care about money or not, but she cares about the success or failure of her career.
After lunch, Fang Zhe left after explaining everything and got in the car directly to the Peak Fund.
Duanmei didn't follow her as she was about to go to class, but she still complained before leaving: "Brother, you never went to school to see me."
Ang? Fang Zhe was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "I'll take the time this time."
On the way to the fund, Fang Zhe was thinking about Duan Mei's performance just now. Is there something wrong?
Yun Jue didn't expect Fang Zhe to come. When he arrived, they were preparing for the afternoon opening.
"Apple's stock has risen a little, and it seems that the market has a lot of confidence in Jobs' return."
Seeing Fang Zhe enter the office, Yun Jue immediately stood up and said something about today's situation.
"I thought you would tell me that the Nasdaq index rose again today?" Fang Zhe also joked.
"Of course rising is a good thing, but you and I have both learned the theory of contradiction. Things should be viewed in two. According to what you said, I found a few people today and are doing a survey. Starting from 1995, Nasdaq
Changes in the Stark Index until now. The survey results have not been released yet. When the results are available, I will show them to you." Yun Jue said this not because he did not trust Fang Zhe, but in a professional attitude. The United States is a place where
, the financial circle has never been accessible to ordinary players, it is all played by institutions.
Just as he was talking, William knocked on the door and came in. When he saw Fang Zhe, he smiled and said, "I saw Boss coming, so I came to say hello."
In the past two years, William has been a bit proud of himself, and the decline of the past can no longer be seen.
"Hmm, I guess you have something to say." Fang Zhe made a gesture of invitation. As an old acquaintance, William was still qualified to talk to Fang Zhe. Sitting on the sofa opposite the coffee table, Yun Jue asked his secretary
Made him coffee.
After the secretary went out, William said: "Boss, I made a discovery."
Fang Zhe nodded and said, "You said it." William took out a picture and opened it on the table: "Please see, this is the trading volume chart of the Nasdaq market in the first quarter of this year. Boss, please pay attention.
, the trading volume in the first quarter is shrinking, what does this mean? In fact, the trading volume of Nasdaq has been decreasing since last year, just because the numbers changed very little, no one paid attention to it. I asked some questions from the side
According to the news, some institutions are quietly releasing Yahoo stocks recently."
"You mean, the index has risen, but the trading volume is shrinking, which means there is a risk? Why didn't you tell Yun Jue before?"
Faced with Fang Zhe's question, William still said frankly: "Before this, I did not get the first quarter survey results, so I dare not make random suggestions. After all, under the leadership of Yun, the general direction of Pinnacle Fund is
It has always been correct, and it has indeed continued to make profits. Peak Fund has become famous in Los Angeles, and many Hollywood actors have invested money in it."
Fang Zhe turned to look at Yun Jue and got her affirmative answer: "That's true. As a fund, it must absorb funds. William has done a very good job in this regard. From last year to now, he has absorbed about 50 million
U.S. dollars. Annual interest rate is eight points."
"Eight points is already very high. Any higher and some people will suspect that we are running a Ponzi scheme." Fang Zhe also affirmed.
William, who was affirmed, smiled and said: "The main reason is that some celebrities do not have the ability to manage money. There are Hollywood stars and some sports stars. Especially sports stars. You know, after those black people make a lot of money, some of them are often criticized by the economy.
People were deceived into investing and lost all their money. Peak Fund made huge profits during the Asian financial crisis and became famous. This is all the credit of Boss, I just borrowed all of it."
Americans have actually learned to be humble. Of course, it depends on who is responsible. In front of Fang Zhe, William really didn't dare to brag.
"Tell me your suggestions!" Fang Zhe leaned back, his eyes bright. This William still has some abilities and has always done well. Now he has put forward his views on the Nasdaq stock market, which makes Fang Zhe
It adds a bit of appreciation.
"Go short before the end of the year, and then keep a close eye on it and prepare to go short. I advocate shorting Yahoo. The company's financial reports since its listing show that it is not a financially healthy company. It has almost no decent profit points. Why is the stock price so high?"
"
Fang Zhe looked at Yun Jue, and after exchanging glances, he confirmed that this was not the result of Yun Jue's adjustment in the company. Yun Jue hasn't had time to adjust yet, but is just absorbing Intel and Apple stocks. This is Yun Jue's arrangement today.
task.
"Your point of view is very insightful. I think we still need time to continue to observe. Let's leave it like this for now, William, your work ability is excellent, keep it up." Fang Zhe did not express his position, but affirmed William.
"Thank you Boss for your affirmation. I'll go back to work first." William stood up and went out. When he walked out of the office, a smug smile appeared on William's face. As a result of his observation, Boss was moved by his suggestion. Now the fund's
The main force is still doing long. Although the capital invested is not a lot, Yun Jue has the intention to continue to increase its efforts.
William was a little worried about his position because Yun Jue had been sitting there for a long time. With Fang Zhe away, he couldn't talk much to Yun Jue, and it was difficult to test the results. Now that Fang Zhe was here, he decisively seized the opportunity to test.
As far as William is concerned, he cherishes the position of general manager of Peak Fund America Company very much. William, who has spent time on Wall Street, knows very well that compared to the bosses on Wall Street, the boss in front of him is simply a good person. He is ruthless in his betrayal.
This kind of thing is rarely done by Chinese people. But among white people, especially on Wall Street, this kind of thing is common.
