Goldfinger is a bit strange

Chapter 980: The trip was worthwhile! (1/2)

At Columbia Pictures, in the office of the new CEO Chambers, Liu Qingshan and Chambers were sitting and chatting.

"Boss, thank you for your trust." Chambers poured a cup of coffee for Liu Qingshan with his own hands.

Looking at his boss's young and heroic face, Chambers was truly grateful.

He transformed from a small company owner who was about to go bankrupt to the president of one of the six major Hollywood film companies. All of this was like a dream.

"Chambers, this is the result of your hard work." Liu Qingshan gently stirred the coffee with a small spoon.

He also had the same trust in Chambers. The two met at the end of their lives and together they made Hurricane Pictures bigger and stronger.

As for Hurricane Pictures, of course it was merged into Columbia Pictures and became the most important subsidiary.

"Boss, we are scheduled to release the movie Forrest Gump in three days, but, just..." Chambers hesitated.

"Is there any problem?" Liu Qingshan stopped what he was doing.

Chambers crossed his hands and kept stirring: "We invited some film critics and held a small internal viewing party, and everyone's response was relatively average."

Not only was it average, more than half of the film critics gave it negative reviews, but Chambers was too embarrassed to say it in front of Liu Qingshan.

After all, this is a big production for the company, with filming taking place in various places and a huge investment. Chambers is a little worried that this movie will become the Waterloo of Hurricane Video.

If we use ancient Chinese allusions to describe it, it is equivalent to walking around Maicheng.

"Why?" Liu Qingshan was a little confused. In his memory, Forrest Gump was a classic, and it also earned 600 million in box office worldwide.

In the Oscar selection, it also became the biggest winner, receiving both praise and box office success.

Chambers thought about it, pointed to his brain, and said tactfully: "The main reason is that everyone thinks that Forrest Gump has some problems with his IQ. Using such a character as a representative of the American dream will affect the image."

In the movie, Forrest Gump's IQ is lower than ordinary people.

Liu Qingshan also fell into deep thought: It seems that foreigners are also picky when choosing image spokespersons.

However, this will certainly not affect the film’s becoming a classic, and may even make it more acceptable to the general public:

Even Forrest Gump can become a successful person, why can't I?

In the absence of such broad consensus, it's entirely understandable that the film has received some flak.

And maybe, you can also use this matter to make a fuss, for example, make a bet or something?

Looney Rockefeller's face popped up in Liu Qingshan's mind: Maybe they are eager to regain their position now, why not give them a chance?

The two of them were chatting when there was a knock on the door, and then they saw Xiao Li rushing in, saying something like:

"Oh, Liu, you are finally willing to come see me!"

Liu Qingshan hugged him a little disgustedly: "Don't say it in such a disgusting way, okay?"

Xiao Li didn't care at all: "Liu, we are in trouble. The outside world has not received good reviews for Forrest Gump's movie. Will we lose money this time?"

The filming cost of this movie reached more than 50 million yuan. Only if the box office exceeds 100 million yuan can the cost be recovered, so Xiao Li's worries are not unreasonable.

For example, a large company like Columbia Pictures produces about a dozen movies every year.

But for a movie that can really sell well, it’s considered good if it can produce one film. Usually, if it produces a film that is a big hit every few years, it’s considered good.

"Li, calm down. You look like your husband waiting outside the delivery room. You are too anxious."

Liu Qingshan was teasing, and he gradually had a plan in mind: "Li, Chambers, I think we need to hold a press conference to promote the movie Forrest Gump."

Chambers was a little confused: all the publicity that needed to be done had already been done.

Or Xiao Li has been hanging out with Liu Qingshan for a long time and understands Chinese culture better: "Liu, do you think you don't burn incense on a regular basis and are just temporary?"

"There is progress." Liu Qingshan nodded and praised Xiao Li with a wry smile: You are the boss and you have the final say.

Chambers thought so too. He knew that Liu Qingshan was quite influential here and might really be able to play a certain propaganda role, so he decided to proceed with the matter.

At this time, Liu Yinfeng also came over after hearing the news. She took Liu Qingshan's hand and looked up and down: "He's a bit tanned."

"Boys are not that delicate." Liu Qingshan comforted his second sister with a smile.

Liu Yinfeng also learned from the phone that her mother and her mute grandfather had formed a new family, but now that there were outsiders present, it was inconvenient to ask, so she reported on official business.

The biggest investment now is Maozi's plan, involving billions of dollars.

Under the leadership of Liu Yinfeng, nearly a hundred assistants were sent to Katyusha, allowing Katyusha Trading Company to quickly spread in the Far East.

As for the purchase of marketable bonds from ordinary people, it has just started.

Because the depreciation of bonds requires a process, theoretically speaking, the best time is to wait until it becomes waste paper before purchasing it.

However, Katyusha Commercial Bank stepped in and became a strong competitor, which also caused some changes in this matter. The depreciation of bonds is not too serious now and remains within a discount of one or two.

"We should not stretch our hands too far and limit ourselves to Siberia and the Far East. The main target is the resources here. Oil and gas resources and mineral resources are our focus."

Liu Qingshan knew that Maozi's land area was too large and no one could try to monopolize it. The best choice was for everyone to share the cake in harmony.

Xiao Li's family also participated in this matter and provided a lot of help. This allowed Katyusha Trading Company to develop smoothly there without suffering from those unforeseen moves.

Otherwise, the capital on the American side will definitely unite with the oligarchs on Mao Zi’s side to jointly suppress it.

After chatting about official matters for a while, Liu Qingshan took Li Tie and Vera and followed his second sister back to the apartment. As for Gao Lingfeng and others, Chambers was naturally responsible for the arrangements.

Sitting in Liu Yinfeng's car, Liu Yinfeng couldn't wait to ask while driving: "Sanfeng, are everything okay at home?"

"They are all very good. My grandparents and grandpa are all in good health. My mother and my master are also very harmonious and beautiful. The fourth and fifth children are all living a happy life."

Liu Qingshan gave a general introduction first, and Liu Yinfeng nodded with a relieved smile on his face.

Liu Qingshan was sitting in the passenger seat, looking at the second sister's delicate profile, and muttered: "Sister, you have been here in the United States for several years, and you still haven't found the one you love?"

Liu Yinfeng's face turned slightly red: "Don't interrupt, I'm driving."

Well, Liu Qingshan started talking about family affairs again. Liu Yinfeng listened carefully and did not blame her brother for affecting her driving.

Returning to her second sister's apartment, Grace saw Liu Qingshan with a sweet smile on her face: "The boss is here, and my assistant finally has a job again."

Liu Qingshan waved his hand: "Sorry, I have hired a new assistant now. This is Vera, Tiezi's girlfriend."

Let me introduce Vera to everyone. As for Li Tie, they are all old acquaintances.

"You took away my job." Grace held Vera's hand in a very affectionate manner.

Liu Qingshan sneered: "Vera, don't be deceived by her. She is a princess of the royal family, with a very high inheritance ranking."

A look of sadness appeared on Grace's face: "Now that the boss has found a new assistant, it's time for me to return home."

In fact, Grace's studies ended last year, but she preferred the free life here and was reluctant to be separated from her good friend Liu Yinfeng, so she discussed with her family and postponed it for another year.

But now, she must return to China because she has reached the age of marriage.

Liu Qingshan also had a general understanding of Grace's situation: "Grace, I wish you the best. If you are really unhappy, you can come back at any time and continue to work as my assistant. I will definitely not deduct your salary."

Grace nodded: In her position, there are some things that she cannot decide by herself.

While enjoying the glory brought by the royal family, they also have their own responsibilities.

This is luck and misfortune.

It is difficult to talk about this kind of thing openly, so it quickly passed by. Grace brought a surprise to Liu Qingshan:

She is also preparing to join Liu Qingshan's project and inject one billion US dollars into it.

Obviously, Grace can't afford so much money. What she represents is the family behind her.

Liu Qingshan was originally worried that there was not enough money, but of course the more the better, so he obviously agreed.

He stretched out his hand and shook Grace: "Congratulations, you have been promoted from assistant to partner."

Grace also smiled and joked: "Liu, should we celebrate? I miss your cooking skills very much."

Liu Qingshan followed suit and cooked himself, preparing a large table of dishes.

When Grace was eating a piece of crystal gourd meat, she finally couldn't control the tears in her eyes.

If she were asked to choose, she believed in herself that she would definitely choose Liu Qingshan as her partner, but there were no ifs in this world.

Of course Liu Yinfeng understood her friend's thoughts, but she also had no choice.

As for Liu Qingshan, he now has a beloved wife and a wife who is giving birth to their new life, so he will not cause trouble. Let all this become the best memory in his heart.

After dinner, Liu Qingshan took Li Tie and Vera to his aunt's house. Liu Yinfeng still drove all the way to the villa.

"cousin!"

Du Jiaxing was returning with a football in his arms, and they met at the door of the villa. The boy immediately threw the football away excitedly, and then threw himself into Liu Qingshan's arms.

Children grow up quickly, and Du Jiaxing has now reached Liu Qingshan's shoulders.

"You're not strong enough to play rugby." Liu Qingshan rubbed his head.

"I'm very powerful because I know kung fu!" Du Jiaxing flexed his arms and showed off his muscles, basically the same as before.

Talking and laughing, they entered the villa. Grandpa Du and his aunt were already standing at the door with smiles on their faces.

Liu Qingshan and the others stayed here that night.

The next morning, Liu Qingshan went to attend the press conference of Columbia Pictures' new film.

Dozens of reporters came. On the one hand, they wanted to give Colombian company face, and on the other hand, they came for Liu Qingshan.

Mr. Mountain has made big news for them. Of course, reporters are looking forward to it because Mr. Mountain has never disappointed them.

At the press conference, Chambers first introduced the movie Forrest Gump, and then the highlight came when reporters began to interview Liu Qingshan.

"Mr. Mountain, you are very optimistic about this movie, but there is news that this movie is a little disappointing. Can you predict the box office?"

Liu Qingshan smiled and nodded: "This is one of the two movies that Columbia Pictures has launched this year. As for the box office, of course there is no problem. In North America, it will definitely exceed 200 million, and the global box office will definitely exceed 500 million."

As he spoke, Liu Qingshan clenched his fists: "Everyone only needs to remember one sentence in the future, Columbia products must be high-quality."

It was really worth the trip!

The reporters all smiled. As long as they interviewed Mr. Mountain, there must be big news.

It's good to have one or two movies with a box office of over 500 million a year, and most of them are action movies or science fiction blockbusters.

It seems a bit difficult to make a drama like Forrest Gump. I wonder where Mr. Mountain's confidence comes from?

So the reporters asked more questions, and finally irritated Liu Qingshan: "If you don't believe me, I can make a bet with you!"

The scene was immediately quiet, and then a reporter suddenly said: "Mr. Mountain, it's a pity that I don't have 100 million US dollars, otherwise, I would definitely make a bet with you."

The reporters laughed softly, this has become an allusion.

Liu Qingshan also smiled and spread his hands: "Then you can invite people, I think there should be someone who wants to bet with me."

The reporters became more excited when they heard it, and they almost named him directly.

When they go back, they will definitely add fuel to the fire and come up with a title such as "If you don't agree, come and bet" to stir up the anger between the two sides, and maybe there will be another big news.

The press conference ended successfully, and the reporters went back happily to spread the news. Looking at their enthusiasm, it is obvious that they have nothing to hide.

"Liu, you shouldn't give Looney and others a chance to retaliate." Xiao Li was a little worried, he really didn't know.

Liu Qingshan disagreed: "You don't understand the principle of plucking wool. You have to catch a sheep and then plucking it as much as you can."

Xiao Li gathered his slightly curly long hair with his hands, and the roots of his hair seemed to feel a chill.

The next day, when Liu Qingshan went to Earth Network for inspection, he finally saw some kind of response in the newspaper.

As the reporters deliberately fanned the flames, Looney Rockefeller finally couldn't help but speak out:

"Since some people are arrogant, we don't mind teaching them a lesson."

Liu Qingshan read the news and couldn't help shaking his head slightly: "Young man, you are too impatient."

Adrian, the president of Earth Network, looked at the young boss, his lips moved for a long time, and finally couldn't help:

"Boss, the situation is a bit bad. Our Earth Network's stock has been falling recently, far worse than Cisco. Your bet with Professor Merton is already in an extremely unfavorable situation."

Adrian certainly had reason to worry: Boss, don't you feel itchy because of too many lice?

The streets that used to be bustling are now bleak.

The sandy road that was once crowded with people is now no longer noisy.

Only blood mud mixed with minced meat, dust, and paper remains, which is indistinguishable and shocking.

Not far away, a broken carriage is stuck in the mud, full of sadness, with only an abandoned rabbit doll hanging on the shaft, swaying in the wind.

The white fluff has long been soaked into wet red, full of eerie weirdness.

The turbid eyes seem to have some resentment, looking at the mottled stones in front of them alone.

There, a figure is lying.

This is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, with tattered clothes, full of dirt, and a broken leather bag tied around his waist.

The boy squinted his eyes and did not move. The biting cold penetrated his shabby coat from all directions, swept his whole body, and gradually took away his body temperature.
