Chapter 124 The Big Shots of the Youth
After ending the conversation with the two future giants of Caa, Wu Cheng made a long-distance call back to the company secretariat in Xiangjiang. It was afternoon there, and it was Wang Xinwei who answered the phone.`
At this time, call home, and no one at home answered.
When Wang Xinwei heard Wu Cheng's voice, he said happily: "Boss, do you have any instructions?"
Wu Cheng nodded and said, "Tonight, tell Sister Zhi and ask her to mortgage the villa in the middle of the mountain to the bank. I can borrow as much as I can. I have an urgent need."
Seven million Hong Kong dollars is not a small amount. With Wu Cheng's current situation, if the company's funds are misappropriated, it can be made up. If it is too harsh, once the company's capital chain is problematic, it will be a lot of trouble. Therefore, he can only use his own private property.
The mansion in Mid-Level Mountain can only be borrowed for 2 million yuan, which is still five million yuan. At the publishing house of "Jurassic Park", Wu Cheng received a manuscript fee of about 100,000 Meiyuan. With the manuscript fee of 100,000 yuan in Hong Kong, the manuscript fee in Hong Kong can be about 1 million Hong Kong dollars.
Then, Wu Cheng called Chen Shufen, general manager of the brokerage company, and asked her to mortgage Tiancheng brokerage company to the bank to see how much it could be loaned.
Although Chen Shufen was not understanding what Wu Cheng did, the boss personally told her that she had no good idea and could only do it.
Fortunately, although Tiancheng Jijing Company only invested two million yuan, the pay of Hong Jinbao, Shenglong and others increased, and the same was true for Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qingxia.
In this way, this invisible wealth was mortgaged to 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
Suddenly, Wu Cheng became a rich man again.
Seeing that Wu Cheng had prepared funds within less than a week, the two persons in charge of caa business company became more and more confident in Wu Cheng.
What made Wu Cheng feel incredible was that when the senior executives at MGM were moved when they heard that someone was willing to take over "Rocky" by one million. "But they spoke out loud and offered a high price of three million. Finally, they negotiated to reach one million.5 million.
Regarding this, Wu Cheng did not continue to mess with them anymore, and directly asked Shirley Lansing to sign the contract, and transferred "Rocky" to Donglong International Hollywood Branch.
At the same time, Stallone also filed the agency contract to BSP; afterwards, Wu Cheng, accompanied by Shirley Lansing, inspected the situation of the branch.
Shirley Lansing of this period was still a mature and intellectual beauty. Compared with the wrinkled old lady in later generations, she was completely different.
It has to be touched that time is really ruthless!
Shirley Lansing also did not expect that their boss Wu Cheng would be such a young man. Although in her eyes, this young man's temperament is quite outstanding, his appearance is not the kind she admires.
Of course, those who are considered handsome in the East may not be easily accepted by others when they go to the West. This is the result of regional aesthetic differences.
Wu Cheng is considered a handsome guy in Xiangjiang. Otherwise, Leslie Cheung would not have said that Wu Cheng's face is paler than his. But in this American, Wu Cheng's appearance as a young man is not very popular, at least there is not many beauties who discharged him.
The confidence given to him by the flight attendant was gradually dispelled a lot.
Fortunately, Wu Cheng was not very concerned about foreign beauties. Moreover, during this period, the Hollywood goddesses he admired had not appeared yet, either children or were not born.
Therefore, he was not very disappointed.
Accompanied by Shirley Lansing, Wu Cheng met George Lucas. Although the uncle did not give Wu Cheng a good look, Wu Cheng made some suggestions in private when he was making special effects, which made the uncle immediately look at him with admiration.
Although Wu Cheng didn't know how to do special effects, he knew what effect he wanted. And the effects he proposed were something Lucas wanted, but he was always confused and didn't know how to express it.
Just like a layer of window paper, although I wanted such an effect in my mind, there was no specific rendering, and what Wu Cheng provided him was the final rendering.
This naturally made Lucas very happy. Moreover, during the conversation with Wu Cheng, Lucas showed that some of Wu Cheng's ideas actually coincided with him.
This made Lucas even more like treating Wu Cheng as his confidant. Excited, he no longer minded Wu Cheng snatching his Industrial Magic Light Special Effects Company.
This gain was something Wu Cheng had never expected before. The friendship of this great director made Wu Cheng feel that this trip to Hollywood was not considered in vain.
What Wu Cheng didn't expect was that it was only a week after he came to Hollywood, and the great director Spearberg actually came to him, just when he was visiting the "Star Wars" Industrial Magic Light Company.
During this period, Lucas and Spearberg were not friends. Although they knew each other, they had never had any contact. Otherwise, they would have started talking about filming the film "Raiders of the Lost Ark". It was precisely because Wu Cheng knew that Lucas had already conceived this film, so when he was writing the script, he did not choose this one.
However, he didn't know that the "Alien et" he wrote had long been in Spearberg's mind. Although it was different from what Spearberg imagined, it had many similarities. This was also the reason why Spearberg came to him.
When facing this great director, Wu Cheng was somewhat excited, but he did not reveal it. Over the past time, he has seen many big stars and directors, and even some tycoons in the industry have seen many, so how could he lose his composure in person?
But when Spearberg excitedly mentioned the script "Alien et", Wu Cheng was slightly raised, especially when he said excitedly, "This is exactly the same as I imagined." Wu Cheng was a little worried about whether he had collided with him.
Fortunately, he did not say in the end that Wu Cheng was plagiarizing his creativity, and only said that their ideas were just coincidental, which made Wu Cheng feel a little relieved.
"I like your script very much. If possible, I want to buy it!" Spearberg said without hiding his love for this script at all. He looked at Wu Cheng with a look of hope.
Wu Cheng smiled and picked up the coffee in front of him, looked at Shirley Lansing and Lucas who were accompanying him, and smiled and said, "This movie must be filmed. I am optimistic about you, Mr. Spearberg, I have also watched "Jaws" you filmed, which is very wonderful! I have no doubt about your directorial ability. However, this movie still needs to wait, not only the technical issue of producing the "Aliens", but also our financial issue."
"Can't you cooperate with other film companies to shoot?" he said again.
Wu Cheng smiled again when he heard this and said, "Since I know this script is a good script and I firmly believe that it can make money for me, why do I have to cooperate with other film companies?"
Wu Cheng's words left Spearberg speechless, but a little helpless.
Seeing that he really liked the script, Wu Cheng said again: "You can rest assured that if we shoot this film in the future, then I promise that you will be the only director candidate."
After receiving Wu Cheng's promise, Spearberg's mood improved a lot, but he still felt a little sorry. After seeing the script, he wanted to shoot it immediately. This is a common problem for all directors.
After leaving contact information with Lucas and Spearberg, Wu Cheng said goodbye and left the Industrial Magic Light Studio with Lansing.
Then, Wu Cheng paid attention to the preparations for "Home Imperial". They chose the director of "Home Imperial" that was recently released, Alan Parker, the director of "Home Imperial and the Thieves", which was still being selected. The others are simple.
Wu Cheng's request was to sign the director with the young actor so that he could save any troubles from happening after "Home Imperial" became popular.
Afterwards, Wu Cheng, who had been in California for two weeks, planned to return to Xiangjiang.
Here, after knowing that Wu Cheng is the boss of a film company, although there are many female celebrities who are willing to post, in Wu Cheng's opinion, they are not very famous.
In fact, these are not big problems. The real problem is that he is not used to the bold and openness of Western women and his more casual attitude towards "sex".
And without preparing to include him in the palace, he didn't want to do anything randomly.
But what Wu Cheng didn't expect was that before he left, someone actually regarded himself as a rich Kaizi and wanted to fool him.
The man who regards Wu Cheng as Kaizi is named Steve Jobs.
How about it, does it sound very familiar?
When Wu Cheng first heard this name, he was also shocked because he knew that the president of Apple was called this name, and this name was famous in later generations.
With his appearance, Wu Chengxian is really the legendary character.
Wu Cheng found it a little funny, but also a little angry when he was fooled by this guy as an unknown Kaizi.
No one is treated as a Kaizi, I will feel uncomfortable!
After asking, I realized that this guy only learned about him as an oriental person after hearing that someone took over the unpopular "Star Wars".
Later, Jobs heard news and rumors that the rich man from the East took over a new film called Rocky by MGM and was very generous.
Therefore, after some inquiries, I came to the door.
Jobs's purpose was very simple. He was selling his computer because Wu Cheng had a film company here, so he definitely needed to use computers or something.
In addition, he also felt that Wu Cheng was stupid and had a lot of money. It would be even better if he could fool some funds to invest in his company.
