Chapter 1022 Success
"Unconformist shit, pee, fart comedy!"
"The Chinese are schizophrenia again, and I don't admit that he is the screenwriter of "Rain Man"! What's worse is that he brought another lively male star to the team this time. Tom Hanks shouldn't have taken on this drama!"
"The young shit and piss and piss and piss and piss and piss and piss and piss and piss and piss and piss and pissing couples is quite novel. Megrian is the biggest highlight, and everything else is useless!"
“Meg Ryan is very suitable for playing such a brain-wrenching role. She looks silly and cute!”
"The male and female protagonists are good, especially Meg Ryan. The Chinese are best at discovering the special features of female stars and showing them!"
"Neighbor War" was released and received more criticism than the previous youth films because youth films do not have shit, pee, and farts. But criticism cannot stop the rising box office, and American audiences love to watch these things.
Chen Qi came back to take charge just to collect money.
He has the mentality of losing both sides with Colombia. If he doesn't give money, then don't play. The stocks plummet and he can't sell them even if he wants to. He will also suffer setbacks in Hollywood - this is the worst result, but fortunately, Colombia is still quite clear-headed.
What Chen Qi wants first is the 100 million labor fee.
"Rain Man" and "I Know What You Do Last Summer" can be used to slowly. This is a normal share of the accounts, and that 100 million is abnormal.
Before Colombia and Sony hand over, these accounts must be settled clearly.
…………
After "Neighbor War", it was Christmas time in the blink of an eye.
"Forty-year-old Virgin" is included.
The film has a much smaller momentum, and directors Zhang Wanting and Luo Qirui are not as popular as Wang Jing. But with these couples in charge, the film presents a very warm tone.
The male protagonist is a forty-year-old man who enjoys collecting cartoon models. He has a decent job in an audio company and rides a bicycle to work every day. He is kind and caring, and he looks good.
However, one day, when colleagues were talking about women with great enthusiasm, the male protagonist suddenly showed fear, and he described the female breasts as "sandbags".
What does it mean?
It is equivalent to some virgin authors who wrote the sentence "her breasts have grown bigger, from C cup to B cup".
He's a novice at first glance!
The male protagonist was exposed, and his colleagues were very enthusiastic and began to arrange things for him. So women appeared one by one, including Julia Roberts, Halle Berry, etc., all of them were Chen's class.
He never succeeded, but the male protagonist himself fell in love with a partner, the female protagonist.
After some messy misunderstandings and jokes, the two successfully rolled off the sheets, and the male protagonist had a line: "I am a virgin. I think that's because I haven't met you."
This is the core of this film.
"The Forty-year-old Virgin" has less shit, urine and farts, and the core is also warm to find true love, so the reputation is pretty good, better than "Neighbor War".
"The story is simple, but so many contradictions make the film look interesting. The so-called contradiction comes from the contradiction between the male protagonist and the 40-year-old man.
What should the Volkswagen version of a 40-year-old man look like?
A small success in career and a normal marriage; or a diamond princess may not have a wife, but it is absolutely impossible to have no sexual experience. The male protagonist rides a bicycle and collects cartoon models, which means inner purity.
In this era when many people don’t believe in love, let sex return to its simplest state.”
"It's rare to make a story that would have been so cheesy."
"Shrunk! The set inside makes me feel more like a sitcom!"
"The Chinese are crazy and have appeared in four films this year! And they have changed their previous model. Except for "I Know What You Do Last Summer" which is independently produced, the rest are jointly invested with Colombia."
"Colombia's performance this year is explosive! In the summer, under the environment of screenwriters' strike, the "Rain Man" was successfully released, and three popular films were released in one fell swoop in the second half of the year. This is the best result in the past decade."
"Senior executives said: This year is just the beginning, and the company has a huge strategic plan!"
“Columbia’s television department has also made great achievements!”
"Colombia gives investors confidence! Within nine months, the stock price has soared from $12 at the beginning of the year to $23!"
…………
At the end of the year, Tokyo became colder.
There is a place called Oden Mountain in Tokyo, which can be traced back to the era of Tokugawa Ieyasu. It was once a royal garden and also the location of Tokugawa Ieyasu's other residence, and it is quite famous. Sony's headquarters is located in Oden Mountain.
In the conference room, the six top company executives held a meeting to discuss the stalemate acquisition of Columbia Pictures.
“Like our acquisition of record companies last year, we initially offered $500 million, and then in nine months their share price rose 60%, and we had to trade for $2 billion.”
"The same is true in Colombia now, they operate on purpose!"
"There's no way, Hollywood doesn't want us to go in."
"What should we do now? Colombia does not give in. Do we want to give up?"
For a moment, the sound of giving up prevailed.
The Japanese are not fools, so they naturally understand the tricks. But their mentality is also very complicated, including Sony's ambition to expand globally, as well as the self-esteem and inflation of the defeated nation. Even at the personal level, Akio Morita also has obsessions.
“…”
Just in the midst of discussion, Akio Morita, who had not spoken, slowly put down the green tea in his hand and sighed softly: "It's a pity to give up. I have always dreamed of owning a Hollywood film company."
"Hollywood doesn't welcome us, but this is the only way we can enter a new market."
"If we want to achieve a global integrated layout of hardware + content, we must have a film company, and only Colombia is willing to sell it."
There was silent and no one answered.
Then, let’s continue this acquisition!

December 31.
Chen Qi woke up from a hotel in Los Angeles, opened the curtains, and looked outside. The streets were still immersed in the happy atmosphere of Christmas and New Year. Americans were celebrating the festival, but they worked far away in a foreign land.
"Neighbor Wars" and "Forty-year-old Virgin" are still being released, but it doesn't matter anymore.
What he wants in this film is not the box office sharing.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
Jiang Zhiqiang pushed the dining cart in and said, "Boss, let's have breakfast first!"
"Is there any news about Price?"
"not yet!"
“…”
Chen Qi was silent, trying hard to hold back his anxiety, washed his hands, and gnawed the bread and milk tastelessly. This ticket was definitely unprecedented, with the national foreign exchange reserves of US$7.2 billion this year.
He traveled to one province by himself, and he still made a big foreign exchange province, not an ordinary province.
But he was not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of if he was the last moment. He felt trembling in his heart. Jiang Zhiqiang didn't say anything, and just ate breakfast in silence. Suddenly, a hurry to interrupt the two of them. Jiang Zhiqiang got up to answer.
He immediately said: "Boss, Price!"
"Give me!"
Chen Qi quickly grabbed the microphone and said, "Hey? What's the situation?"
"The Japanese agreed to continue the talk!"
"That's it?"
"They agreed to talk, which means that they are determined to acquire and must buy. We have made great progress. They proposed to acquire at $27 per share, and Colombia and Coca-Cola are loosening..."
"That means, are you going to succeed?"
"Yes! Yes!"
Price's tone was not much joy, because the Japanese became, so he had to leave, but he did not forget to report the good news to his old friend: "It's a pity that I can't continue to work with you. The last payment will be paid immediately! I did my best!"
"Pries!"
Chen Qi was quite touched and sighed: "Then what are your plans in the future? If..."
"Haha! Don't worry, I want to take a break first. If I still want to work in the film industry, I will find you."
"Okay, friendship lasts forever!"
Chen Qi hung up the phone and quickly got rid of Price's slight sadness. He turned to Jiang Zhiqiang. Jiang Zhiqiang also looked at him with a gaze and asked carefully: "Have we succeeded?"
“Success!!”
(Not...
