Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

A representative of Paramount said: “The battle among the Big Eight has been going on for a long time, and it is not surprising that Lion will take over MGM’s position now.”

“There’s no need to end up with a lose-lose situation.

In the long run, there is still possibility for cooperation.

To fight back, perhaps a prize strategy would be more effective.”

"Good advice."

A representative of Warner said, "They are currently all commercial films, and the one competing for awards is The Lord of the Rings. This year's Oscar is worth trying to intercept."

"OK……"

A consensus was quickly reached: starting with the other party's award is the lowest-cost response strategy.

But He Yuzhu didn't know that Hollywood had already begun planning his assassination.

He never took awards seriously in the first place, he only cared about making money, so what was the point of winning or not?

This didn't bother him at all, and he was unwilling to spend money lobbying the judges - it was just a ritual and didn't matter.

As for spending money on the operation, he even disdained it.

The company told him that this year's work will be nominated for the Oscars from February to April of the following year, but because He Yuzhu is not involved in operating the award competition, the company will only submit it without active promotion behind the scenes.

This was bad news for the entire production team, but the contract constrained their actions and even the union did not question it.

As long as Lion Films abides by the contract, there will be no violation.

They did not deduct salaries but just gave up the award strategy, which is the company's prerogative and the copyright belongs to the enterprise.

"The Lord of the Rings" is a collective performance work. The actors have little chance of winning the award, but the director is most likely to win.

But the director gave up a lot of benefits for this movie, and now that the premiere has not yet ended, he will naturally not compromise easily.

Besides, the contract had already stipulated that the entire series would consist of six films.

There are still three more Hobbit movies waiting for them! Fast and Furious 2 has also started filming, still in the Christmas season, with many car sponsors, so the box office is guaranteed in the early stages of filming.

The first two parts are equivalent to previews. The script revisions were reviewed by He Yuzhu himself. The two protagonists performed separately, each with their own experiences and acquaintances.

By the fourth part, everyone is gathered together, which will be the foundation of the future team.

This design not only fits the plot context, but also makes the plot content increasingly rich.

The themes at the core of the film – family, friendship, love and racing – come together perfectly.

This series is able to be filmed for a long time and maintain the audience's appeal.

It’s fine for the first six parts to be shown back-to-back, and the first three parts, which have some continuity in between, can be enjoyed separately.

After all six films are released, there will need to be a proper pause to relieve viewing fatigue and give subsequent creators more time to polish the plot.

If the salaries of the leading actors in the early stage are too high, they will be directly pushed to the level of "myth"

Status can also be implemented; problems such as excessive salaries or excessive special effects spending can be solved by adjusting the lineup and replacing new faces.

The entire film series may be paused for a moment, but it can be restarted Hollywood-style at any time.

The child actors in the Harry Potter series have all signed contracts covering eight films, with their salaries increasing proportionally. As for He Yuzhu, he has no intention of increasing the budget easily, nor will he give them room to raise their salaries, and even the dividends will not be involved.

But the salaries they receive are still quite good.

By the time the final two parts came around, budgets naturally soared, which also coincided with a surge in global box office sales.

NBC is growing stronger and stronger, and has captured one-third of the U.S. audience market. Its news broadcasts, dramas and variety shows are all performing well.

Based on the objective stance proposed by He Yuzhu, the news team has set up a strategic advisory group that suits the tastes of most viewers.

In the world, people pay great attention to news. Even though gossip may not be paid attention to by everyone, it is an important part of popular topics.

Compared with their own country, ordinary people tend not to care much about news reports. Especially after the entertainment trend becomes popular, the news audience has gradually become a niche.

Therefore, the strategy of remaining impartial and neutral, and not favoring any party, was implemented by conducting in-depth analysis of all parties and setting up another advisory group that provides strategic advice based on multi-faceted insights.

He Yuzhu remains as low-key as ever. Although he says that being low-key is not the best way nowadays, he himself has no desire to show off.

His fame and involvement in events mean he doesn't need to be too high-profile.

On the other hand, He Daqing's health is getting worse and worse, and He Daqing still needs care. He Yulu and Zhou Yi finally get the opportunity to retire. The couple moved into the courtyard house given by He Yuzhu to enjoy their old age.

Having money in hand does bring advantages. As long as you give the order, a large number of talented people will come in droves.

As soon as He Yuzhu came up with the idea, many screenwriters were busy writing scripts about Yue Fei.

First of all, we need to verify historical materials. Although Hong Kong has the convenience of historical materials, in order to have a deep understanding and detailed description, we still need to go north to find historians, and this process naturally involves financial investment.

Only by sorting out the key clues of Yue Fei's life based on this historical material can we start to write the script and lay a solid foundation for the plot.

Time passed quietly, and everyone went all out to promote the two works worldwide. "Saw" and "Fast and Furious" returned to the big screen amid people's anticipation. In the blink of an eye, it was February 2005, and the long-awaited Oscar Awards also began to prepare for the competition event.

The film companies vying for the awards have already begun planning their strategies, and the public relations offensives of major film companies are in full swing, but Lion Films seems to be absent from this competition.

Lion Films did participate in the competition for "The Lord of the Rings" and did not make any efforts, but it failed to get the expected attention in this competition.

Wang was disappointed that his company shares were not worthy of others' attention. At this moment, the housekeeper of the He family quietly stood behind him and urged: "Sir, please!"

He nodded helplessly, but still hoped that Mr. He would think carefully: "Then please think it over carefully, Mr. He, we'll take our leave."

Although it was just a preliminary test, the opponent decisively rejected it, making his plan fail.

This failure made him feel depressed, but he was helpless.

Some people cannot be provoked, they can only accept their fate.

The film's promotion work began to roll out around the world. Due to the lack of superstars capable of carrying high box office, the cast is entirely Asian faces, but this is an opportunity for James Wan to make good use of geographical characteristics.

He is a Chinese who grew up overseas and is familiar with foreign customs and practices. Since viewers generally lack the ability to recognize facial shapes, he uses differences in clothing as an identifier.

Through clever costume design, the identities of their roles are successfully distinguished.

After Marvel Studios' continued investment, the script production progressed steadily. According to He Yuzhu's guidelines, they started with Iron Man.

Although they wondered why a second-tier hero was chosen to start, they still obeyed his orders.

When He Yuzhu arrived, Stan Lee personally greeted him: "Boss, the script is going quite smoothly. I wonder if it can be executed in advance?"

"No, we have to stick to our promise until 2008," He Yuzhu replied.

After his three-day stay, he went to Master Ho’s North American branch.

Tommy was very excited to see him coming: "Boss, it's really exciting to have you here again!"

"Tommy, I have always been very satisfied with your performance. This time I am just here to take a look around." He Yuzhu smiled, knowing that this subordinate was talented and knowledgeable about the ways of the world.

A few days after He Yuzhu's inspection, a Goldman Sachs representative visited him. He was a long-term partner of He's business and said, "It's so hard to find you, Mr. He!"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu said, "If you have anything to say, just call me directly. I think we should discuss it in person."

“Indeed, the purpose of our visit today is to discuss your company’s relisting.” The Goldman Sachs man laughed. The events mentioned were too forward-looking and would probably be difficult to understand and accept even after another ten or twenty years. This was the case with “The Promise.”

He Yuzhu was not sure about other comments, and felt a little uneasy at the moment. "Mr. He has a good eye for people, and our domestic film and television industry may still need some guidance."

“The only advice I can offer is to lay a solid foundation for yourself before making other plans.” He said with a faint smile, but he was faced with a problem - if major domestic directors failed one after another, what would be the attitude of the people towards Chinese films?

Whether it is movies or TV series, there is a common peculiar phenomenon that domestic audiences tend to be more picky about their own works and are particularly sensitive to local culture and plot flaws.

On the contrary, when watching foreign works, they are usually more tolerant due to cultural differences.

While the screenwriter was busy creating the film, Xu Gecai visited James Wan and exchanged ideas with him.

At this time, He Yuzhu felt a little free. After the New Year, his children returned to work or study. He planned to go on a trip again with Wen Li and the couple.

He Yuzhu was not surprised to learn that Director Zhang would be the chief director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games.

The various branches of the Baiwei Group, such as the national chain of Bashu-style hotpot and the widespread warehousing and logistics systems, are even planning for the expansion of cinemas. The nationwide unified operation is very convenient for such matters, and tasks such as site selection are relatively easy to handle by branches.

The only problem lies in the workforce, which is not unsolvable. Poaching in advance can solve some of the challenges.

Sales positions are the easiest to recruit, with a large number of fresh graduates pouring in every year, especially those who specialize in sales, whose number is too numerous to count.

After reading the script, He Yuzhu thought it was quite good, with clear structure and complete plot.

The next step is to see how to present it visually.

"Not bad, I'm very satisfied with it." He nodded in praise, "It seems that you have gained a lot from James Wan!"

"That's true. He has a deep understanding of the overseas market and gave me a lot of valuable insights." Xu Guaicai said, and then he shared how he participated in the filming process and was full of confidence in the script.

Conas Sterling was confused as to the identity of his opponent, but he knew he had to ensure the stability of the company.

First, he talked to shareholders, hoping to convince them to hold on to their shares.

Then, he launched a competition in the market, bidding for tradable shares in an attempt to compete with He Yuzhu.
