Chapter 137: A Tough Time
Lee learned proper posture and power skills from the beautiful female lifeguard, who costs $2,000 for private education.
The waves were flying and lapping against the rocks along the coast.
bang-bang
The sky was dimming, bonfires were burning on the beach, and the lifeguard booths were lit with yellow lights to remind the people in the sea that it was time to return.
Li Zhenyu holding a surfboard, and Ellie together around the reef appeared on the beach.
"Ellie, where have you been? I've been looking for you all afternoon."
Ellie smiled, put her arm around his shoulder and said, "Li, my new employer, I've gone to teach him how to surf. What's up?"
The other side shook his head, looking at Li Zhenyu's eyes full of vigilance: "No, nothing, just worried about your safety."
Ellie frowned. "I'm an adult. I can take care of myself."
See two people like to quarrel, Li Zhenyu busy interjected: "I should go, Ellie coach, thank you for your personal demonstration."
Li Zhenyu said and turned away, leaving only two people with different faces arguing constantly behind.
"Ellie, what did you do?"
"What I do is none of your business. What are you to me?"
"Ellie, you know how I feel about you."
"Stop it, we're just colleagues..."
Ah, the world is so big, so many dogs.
At the beach house, Claire and the others had just returned and were discussing the terms offered by Colombia.
Films imported from Hollywood are allocated according to 35/17/48.
In a Hollywood blockbuster, the producer gets 35 percent, the distributor gets 17 percent, and the exhibitor gets 48 percent.
Among them, screening accounts for the majority, which is the international standard.
But for Hollywood, the status swap is not so simple.
Colombia is offering 70 percent of the distribution and response, and they're talking about how to split it.
The only thing confirmed is that Zy+ will give up 5 percentage points more.
Claire and Park Hoon-jung naturally disagree, but the other side bites the standard of 70 percent, and threatens that no one in Hollywood except them will want this film.
Li Zhenyu suspected that he heard wrong, what people will say so.
What about the brain?
We're talking about cooperation, not begging for a meal.
Claire sighed and said, "There are arrogant people everywhere. I'll think about it again."
Colombia is not the only option, but it is still the best option.
The reason why the other party will be like this, perhaps and Li Zhenyu himself in Los Angeles but did not show up.
It hurts his little heart and makes him feel unappreciated.
"Who is in charge of the negotiations?"
"Matthews, vice president of review and distribution."
"Who has the same level of access as him, or higher."
The president and the first vice president are responsible for the specific operation of the entire company, and can also make decisions to sign contracts when necessary.
"Go past Matthews, find someone else to talk to, and reach out to a few others."
"Hoon Jeong."
"Senior."
"Go to Paramount and Universal tomorrow, don't just focus on one."
Piaoxunzheng helpless answer, choose Colombia is clearly his attention, how to back their pot now.
But he's just a little assistant director with no rights.
"It's just that Paramount is so focused on making Transformers right now that they're not interested in anything else."
"Why not if you can make money? Rest assured, they won't refuse."
Besides, it's not like we're actually joining.
Paramount and Universal are titans of the industry, each with its own illustrious history.
But to really give up the best choice of Colombia, Li Zhenyu would rather target MGM.
Now Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, which created "Tom and Jerry," the unsurpassed pinnacle of animation history, is about to lose its underwear.
By early next year, MGM will be reeling from the financial crisis again, with a debt and operating capital shortfall of $170 million.
MGM hopes to overcome this difficulty by delaying the payment of interest to the debtor, and restart the "007" classic IP to reverse the situation.
But not all of its many debtors want it back.
Everyone is most eager, or contains 007, Gone with the Wind, Rocky, Robocop and many other IP huge film library.
Among them, "007" this IP accounts for 50 percent of the market value, and it is the only hope for MGM to be reborn from nirvana.
Li Zhenyu, who wants to break into the North American market, could not pass up this opportunity.
But he didn't plan on getting himself killed before the thunder struck.
No one's money comes from the wind...
Why does that sound weird? !
"BOSS, dinner is in 40 minutes. We should get going."
A Facebook charity dinner at a private club in Beverly Hills.
Covering an area of 7 acres, surrounded by trees, it has a private swimming pool, golf course, open-air green square, which can meet all activities.
The venue is provided for free by investors, presumably in order to sell a good one.
Claire did not rent a long Lincoln, but temporarily rented two super cars, more in line with the BOSS's young personality.
The front is a McLaren GT, the back is a Mustang modification.
The car is to show personality, not just look at the price, after all, for the big guys here today, the most expensive price is just a string of numbers.
The old mould's love of mustang is not divided into classes, and in the garage of any car lover here, there is bound to be a Ford Mustang transformed according to their own preferences.
After presenting the invitation card, the two cars entered the clubhouse gate and diagonally inserted into the empty space on the right side of the white building as instructed.
"Come with me, Sir And madam, please." A waiter in a suit and waistcoat, ushering them in.
Li Zhenyu pointed back and said, "Wait, my companion is still behind."
When Zhao Yingjun and his female companion followed, they walked to the main body of the white building under the guidance of the waiter.
Zhao Yingjun's girlfriend is Claire's junior lawyer.
Blonde hair, baby face, looks like a real Barbie.
She also has the perfect name, Barbara...
Li Zhenyu really can not think, with her image how to choose to be a lawyer.
"BOSS, someone's coming."
As soon as he got the champagne, Claire warned him that someone was coming.
"Mr. Lee, I'm glad to see you here."
Meet Sheryl Sandberg, former vice president of global online sales and operations at Google and now chief operating officer at Facebook.
They have been through the mail, for this in South Korea has a huge influence of the invisible family, Shirley to give due attention.
Moreover, in previous exchanges, some of Li Zhenyu's ideas happened to coincide with her.
For the Internet, the forward-looking field of intelligence, very enterprising, left a deep impression in her heart.
"So am I, Shirley... Why haven't you seen Mark?"
Li Zhenyu scanned the room, you can be sure that Xiao Zha is not here.
He has long been an admirer of lizard people, and it is rumored that he paid professionals to design 'lizard' masks for himself in order to avoid having his facial expressions analyzed.
Li Zhenyu is a little curious, whether he is like normal people now, with emotions of joy and sorrow.
"You know, geniuses have unique quirks and ideas, and he's upstairs with a tech guy, and they're talking about the future of Facebook."
Shirley is also very helpless, this occasion small Zaobao does not appear, but with a group of young people hiding in the upstairs __party.
I just hope he doesn't get too big and cause a scandal.
In fact, Sherry can generally understand why he is like this, in his twenties to take on all this, a lot of pressure for anyone.
He needs something to let the pressure off his chest, or he's gonna get crushed.
In any competitive industry, being a top executive is more or less a quirk.
Smoking, drinking, marijuana, womanizing, these things are perfectly normal.
The longer you live in the industry, the more you play.
The ones that can't be exposed are the ones that can really relieve the pressure.
Li Zhenyu nodded in recognition and said, "I think he will be able to survive."
If Facebook succeeds, Zuckerberg will be the greatest entrepreneur of the century.
Fail to
In two days, he'll be the butt of jokes at everyone's dinner table.
No one knows the future like Lee Zhenyu, as a prophet, and understands how valuable Facebook will be in the future.
Every day when I open my eyes, fear and excitement accompany Xiao Zha.
He's having a hard time!
