At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 760 What Can I Change?

In September 2011, Tianmei Building was located on Pingli East Street, DC District, between the third and second ring roads.

Shen Xudong came to work very rarely...

In the past three years, many things have happened. For example, last year, Tianmei Media complied with the requirements of the above, and A-shares were listed, with a market value of 800 billion yuan, and the dominance of mainland entertainment stocks.

The films produced by Timmy Media have occupied the first place in the mainland market for three consecutive years. "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", "Di Renjie", and the "Three Kingdoms" series, including "Liao Zhai" stories, are all box office hits...

Just to mention a little bit, in the just-concluded summer season, the cumulative box office of the four films "Lucky Key", "Yunnan Worm Valley", "Han Lie Zhaodi", and "Crime City 2" exceeded 24 billion!
Among them, "Yunnan Insect Valley" broke the box office record of domestic movies, with a cumulative box office of 8.6 million!
Temporarily listed No.3 in film history - the top two are "Avatar" and "Transformers 3"...

In addition, "Crime City 2" surpassed [-] million, becoming the first Hong Kong film to surpass [-] million at the box office...

Of course, the leading role is Zhang Jing, the second lead is Xie Miao, the action director is also Qin Pengfei, the director is Lu Yang, the producer is Chen Musheng, and a bunch of familiar faces from Hong Kong movies play supporting roles...

It is said to be a Hong Kong film, mainly because it was filmed in Hong Kong, and the producer is Golden Harvest.

To sum it up, Shen Xudong rarely appeared in front of the public media in the past three years, and he didn't even show up when the movie was promoted.

When I return to China this time, I don’t plan to go to Hollywood again.

Things are almost done!
Fantastic Studios was sold to Time Warner at a price of 8.12 million US dollars. At the same time, Shen Xudong received 9000 million shares of Warner Brothers, holding nearly 5% of the shares...

Warner Bros. needs a wonderful studio-"Harry Potter" is over, and Warner only has DC in hand, and new projects need to be added!
Fantastic Studios has the last two installments of the Twilight Saga and The Hunger Games…

In fact, Shen Xudong originally wanted to merge with Netflix, but Netflix couldn't afford the money, and Shen Xudong couldn't explain to Joseph and the others that "Netflix will be very valuable in the future"...

Now Netflix is ​​just a small company with a market value of 30 billion US dollars.

Shen Xudong simply bought 5% of Netflix's shares, and by the way, in the name of PPTV, made a strategic investment of 1.5 million US dollars...

The so-called strategic investment is to borrow chickens to lay eggs. Anyway, many PPTV dramas are aired on Netflix...

Oh, in three years, PPTV has become the first video platform. Although it has not been listed, Baidu invested 6 million US dollars, Shen Xudong brought Gong Yu as CEO, and Sequoia Capital invested 3.5 million US dollars...

Therefore, although PPTV burns money, it is not Shen Xudong's money anyway!

……

Shen Xudong's office is on the top floor. The decoration is not to say magnificent, but at least it is grand and stable!
Shen Xudong asked his assistant to make a cup of coffee, then sat down at his desk with the coffee in his hand, and began to... watch the video...

The assistant is a man, Xu Hui? It's not that he doesn't want to find a woman. I interviewed Jiangsu Ying before, and it sucks!

After inquiring about it, I found out that she is the kind of...fake foreign student, and her high school is a technical secondary school...

Sure enough, as Wang Chuanjun commented—except for fair skin and beautiful appearance, everything else is mediocre!
Shen Xudong had seen a lot of fair-skinned and beautiful people, so he simply didn't use her.

In the past few years, he has been busy saving Meiyu, shouldering the burden of spreading oriental art, and has not preached to the new generation in the mainland...

You must be single-minded in your career!
While watching the video - "Let's Run" Season [-], someone knocked on the door: "Come in!"

It was Chen Xi. As soon as she entered the door, she looked Shen Xudong up and down: "...Are you really back?"

"Well, my journey in the United States has come to an end!"

"Are you not involved in the next few films of "The Hunger Games", "Insidious", and "The Conjuring?"

Shen Xudong shrugged: "Participate... I'm still one of the producers, enjoy 15% profit sharing, and have casting rights... But I don't have to stay in the United States anymore!"

"...We thought you would return to China next year..."

"Why next year?"

"Isn't "The Grandmaster" going to compete for awards..."

Shen Xudong said casually: "Oh, that's going to be in November, I'll go there then!"

"Where's the Golden Lion Award? Show it to me!"

"... I... seem to have put it in the trunk, I'll let Xiao Xu go down and get it!"

Last week, "The Grandmaster" participated in the Venice Film Festival and won the Golden Lion Award...

This is really thanks to Todd Haynes. Although he is only one of the judges, he quarreled and fought with the chairman of the jury, Darren Aronofsky, and finally helped Shen Xudong win the Golden Lion Award. , otherwise, it is very likely to be the Jury Award or the Silver Lion Award for Best Director.

As a thank you, Shen Xudong gave Todd Haynes "Manchester by the Sea" and invited Leonardo to star in it!

Because the color of PY is too strong, Shen Xudong didn't even care about the Golden Lion Award...

But Chen Xi certainly didn't think so. The Golden Lion Award is the Golden Lion Award after all, and the weight is here. When he heard that it was actually in the trunk of the car, he immediately gave him a look, turned his head and went straight out. It seemed that he was going to get it by himself!
Not long after she left, Gao Fenfen knocked on the door: "Can I come in?"

"…certainly!"

When Gao Fenfen walked into the office, Shen Xudong was a little puzzled: "Why are you all so polite?"

"You can't be rude, who knows what you are doing in the office!"

"...What else can I do in the office besides work?"

Gao Fenfen suddenly bent down to look at the bottom of the huge desk, and then straightened up: "Who knows if you have any quirks!"

Shen Xudong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What kind of eccentricity can I have, we only met half a year ago!"

"At that time, you were with a French girl with an intimate manner..."

Shen Xudong frowned: "French girl?"

"...tall...blonde, big breasts, beautiful!"

"That's Kat Dennings... she's obviously a Yankee..."

"It's almost the same anyway!"

Shen Xudong raised his eyebrows: "...does it look good?"

"...you restrain yourself!"

"Sister, Hollywood is a standpoint, and it is the most concerned Vanity Fair in the world. To put it bluntly, a play can achieve a class transition. Do you know how many girls there are in "The Hunger Games" announcing the casting? Send me a fruit photo?"

Speaking of this, Shen Xudong spread his hands: "I have been very restrained, I never force, and I will not take the initiative to strike up a conversation... I even rejected the strike-up of many female stars!"

"I know, Zhao Xin told me all about it!"

"Old Zhao is a beast, do you know who he will date after he goes to America?"

"With whom?"

"Let me count," Shen Xudong counted, and then said: "Sandra Bullock, Kate Beckinsale, and... Maggie Q! More than me!"

"Bah... Both of you are not good people..." Gao Fenfen concluded in one sentence, and then asked: "Where's Zhao Xin?"

"He's going to be the producer and chief screenwriter of the new drama "Squid Game" we're cooperating with HBO, and he won't be back for the time being..."

""Squid Game"?"

"I have already bought the copyright in the mainland, and I will launch PPTV after a while..."

　The original new volume Chapter 1 should be this...
