Chapter 256 The housekeeper fights to the end

After only one day's rest, Jiang Liu sent an invitation to Mr. Yu Chu and Mr. Han to visit Jiang's house.

The two agreed without much hesitation. They also wanted to meet Jiang Liu and had many things to communicate.

Putting his cell phone in his pocket, Jiang Liu invited the butler Lu Le to sit down at the stone table by the pond.

Lu Le was 35 years old. When ordinary people met Lu Le in Jiang's house, they would probably suspect that Jiang Liu had a lover and praise Jiang Liu for his superb skills and how his wife and lover could live in harmony in the same room.

However, the fact is that Lu Le, who wears a short ponytail, is indeed the housekeeper.

Of course, this housekeeper does not refer to the housekeeper who manages the flowers and plants in the house, instructs the chef to cook, and orders the aunt to serve the dishes.

Lu Le's real job in the Jiang family is to help Jiang Liu manage his private property.

Not only was she a top financial student who graduated from a prestigious university, she also worked as a middle-level manager in a bank until she was spotted by Jiang Liu and hired Jiang Zhai from China Construction Bank.

As Jiang Liu's private property increases, Lu Le will also form a management team in the future to better serve Jiang Liu.

Of course, her salary is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

"You should pay more attention to the investment in the tea factory run by Party Secretary Yan of Jingmai Village."

"From the perspective of return on investment, it is not a good project. Even if the 10,000 acres of Pu'er tea in Jingmai Village is recognized by the market as the best Pu'er tea, the profit margin is not large."

"After we invest in marketing and use our personal connections, the return on investment is slower."

Jiang Liu frowned slightly: "We met by chance, and the investment amount is not large. I can help out. If it can help more than 600 local households get rid of poverty, it will be nice to spread the word."

Lu Ledao, who has worked in a bank, said: "Compared with profits, the reputation of poverty alleviation is more valuable."

"You are more realistic than me." Jiang Liu shook his head and laughed.

Lu Le was indifferent to Jiang Liu's evaluation: "Believe me, many people will become more and more realistic. Those who are sincere will be rare, and more people will talk about righteousness, but secretly men will steal women from prostitution."

"You are too pessimistic."

"It's not pessimistic, it's sober."

While the two were talking, a car slowly stopped at the door of Jiang's house.

Seeing the vehicle stop, Jiang Liu put down the fish food in his hand, stood up and said to Lu Le, "It's time to dig the underground parking lot."

"I went to ask in the past two days how many procedures are required."

"Why did "Orangutan" cost over 500 million yuan?" Mr. Han asked while shaking hands.

Jiang Liu vomited his bitterness and said: "It's difficult to shoot. I can only shoot a few seconds of footage a day in Shandong Province. All my time is spent on makeup."

"You love to be involved in danger. The script of "Orangutan" seems difficult to film. Don't make it into "Journey to the West"."

"That's not the case. If we really want to stay at the makeup technology level of Journey to the West, I will cut off the company's makeup department and special effects department. What's the point of not making progress in so many years?"

After Jiang Liu finished speaking confidently, he introduced Lu Le with a smile: "Lü Le, housekeeper."

"Butler?" Yu Chu frowned and glanced at Lu Le. He didn't put any makeup on, his face was fair, his hair was in a ponytail, and he was dressed in professional attire. He looked more like a white-collar worker than a butler, more like a lover than a butler.

"A steward who manages private finances." Jiang Liu reminded.

Mr. Han took over the conversation: "Yu Chu, have you forgotten? I said last time that I had to change my name and not call him Liu'er. He had to call me Mr. Jiang. He was on Forbes."

Yu Chu's expression relaxed: "I have a bad memory as I get older, so I really forgot."

There were some things he still couldn't understand.

For example, a person may have so much property that he needs to hire a professional to take care of it.

Another example is that Jiang Liu actually showed his private property to a stranger.

However, these are Jiang Liu's private matters and it is not appropriate for him to say more.

He knew that Jiang Liu was not obsessed with anything, he was just running a beautiful song and dance troupe. "Haha, let's go up, drink some tea first, and later try the cooking skills of Chef Jiang Zhai."

After making tea for the three of them, Lu Le exited the tea room knowingly.

As soon as the door is closed, no one will give in, and criticism will flow without delay.

Years ago, at a symposium for directors from across the Taiwan Strait and three places organized by the Directors Association, Qian Yanqiu's speech did not represent the dissatisfaction of Yixin and Jiangliu, but could it also represent an individual?

Taking the overall economic situation and cooperation between countries as the starting point, after criticizing Jiang Liu's low political consciousness, Mr. Han said:

"Liu'er, you're really not dissatisfied with Yu Chu's criticism. I'm also very puzzled. I always feel that you have some deep grudge against Hollywood."

"No, that's not the case. Hollywood is unwilling to cooperate with Yixin. China Films implements a box office sharing model. The same goes for us when we sell copyrights. There is no need to tit for tat."

Doesn't Jiang Liu know that selling copyright is the same?

If all he makes are domestic films from later generations, the copyright for a film will be sold for millions, and an ant's legs will still be meat no matter how small they are.

But he doesn't want to touch the three melons and two dates of domestic movies.

Yi Xin and Hua Yi didn't get along. After he finished filming "Cell Phone" and Yi Xin was doing well, he never thought about filming Feng Da Pao's "Private Order" and other movies.

He just wants to kill Hollywood and wipe it out.

Given this plan, how could he be willing to sell the film's overseas and North American distribution rights to major Hollywood studios for several million dollars or even less?

This time, Hollywood has almost no losses. There is no difference between him and Bai Gan, working part-time in Hollywood.

He and Hollywood are absolutely inseparable, and they must fight to the end to determine the outcome.

He doesn't blame Mr. Han, Yu Chu and others are not discerning. Too many people in China, or the whole world, have expectations for Yingjiang.

"I have never thought about going tit-for-tat with Hollywood, but business must be fair. Hollywood movies can take a share of the box office from China, so why do Chinese movies have to sell copyrights?"

Mr. Han said: "You are dissatisfied, and I am dissatisfied, but the fact is that our film market is not as big as others, so there is not much room for negotiation and no right to speak. It is cruel, but there is nothing we can do."

"If you ask me, I still lack courage. The major Hollywood studios are the most snobbish and discerning."

"No matter how small the Chinese market is, as long as there is room for appreciation, they will be interested in it. Otherwise, Disney and Warner will not set up offices in China one after another."

"If we push hard and ask them to let go of the box office share, they will let it go after considering it. At most, they will go back to the country to cause trouble."

"It's just that you have bigger considerations, and I don't blame Chu, Mr. Han."

"But I have to think for the company, so Yixin and Hollywood have to fight slowly."

Mr. Han and Yu Chu looked at each other, nodded and said, "This is a commercial competition between private film and television companies. It's up to you."

Jiang Liu nodded and said another thing: "Mr. Han, I read the first draft of "Red Cliff", it's just so-so."

"Wu Yusen made the story too life-like. He obviously wanted to use small things to support the big battle, but I'm afraid he might be self-defeating."

Mr. Han glared at Jiang Liu: "Does Yixin want to quit now?"

"I remember when we were in Yun Province, you said that filming a fantasy blockbuster would be better than filming Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms, so I brought John Woo to see you."

Jiang Liu smiled and said: "Once a word is made, it is hard to follow, and I will not quit."

"But China Film Group needs to support Yixinduo to add some characters to the cast. Yixinduo has dozens of stars waiting for support. Does Mr. Han need to add people to the cast?"

"China Film only wants to make a good movie and not lose money. Regarding the character, I fully support Yi Xin."

Jiang Liu smiled happily and said: "Then it's settled. The main characters Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao will be decided by the director, and the other characters will be handled by Yixin's character director."

"Director, the management is not satisfied, let's talk about it again."

The matter was roughly discussed, and Lu Le came in at the right time to invite the three of them to the restaurant.
