Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 513 Where is the hotel room? What about the red sofa?

Hanyu Hideki's Rolls-Royce was driving on the streets of Hollywood, and his destination was De Laurentiis Entertainment.

Next to him sat Emmanuel Beah, who was in a sluggish state.

The scumbag who had sex last night was naturally satisfied and had enough fun.

But Emmanuel Beah was very tired.

But even though Emmanuelle Beale was so tired, she still hugged the scumbag and kept talking, expressing her love and admiration for the scumbag.

Hanyu Hideki could tell that this woman wanted to maintain a relationship with him.

But in his heart, he had no such intention at all.

European actresses, especially French actresses, are basically artists per capita and understand everything.

Anyone who knows something about the European film industry, starting from Isabelle Adjani and Isabelle Huppert, to Emmanuelle Béard, and later Sophie Marceau, Eva Green...

Choosing Emmanuelle Béard to endorse Onirique Jewelry's new "Star Language" series of jewelry is definitely a win-win situation for Hideki Hanyu.

Otherwise, not only would his own company be ruined, but Hideki Hanyu, who had lost money, would not have a good look towards him.

For example, Emmanuel Beah next to him.

As for the identity of the spokesperson, he didn't think there was anything inappropriate.

Emmanuelle Beah just plans to give it a try. Maybe Hanyu Hideki is different from the old money in Europe and the United States. After all, judging from last night's performance, Hanyu Hideki still likes her very much.

Hideki Hanyu followed the Romans and hugged him.

He wouldn't break the promise he made before, but there was no need to go any further.

Establish a good relationship with Hideki Hanyu, a top rich man, so that if there are new projects, he can continue to attract investment.

Obviously, the rich man did not like her.

Everyone pursues the so-called "art".

Tsk tsk! You'd better go and see it yourself.

But now it seems that the rich are the same no matter where they are.

……

That's how beautiful she looks, and how big she looks on the screen.

In the original history, after Bernard Arnault teamed up with America's Lazard Bank to acquire the LVMH Group, he invited Emmanuel Beah to be Dior's European spokesperson for several years.

So for a woman like Emmanuelle Béart, it's good to just have fun while she's young, flexible and in good shape, and it's a fair trade, so there's no need to be serious.

Although she was silently rejected, Emmanuelle Beah felt that this was fine. She no longer had to hope for impossible things in the future. She only had to work hard to please the other party and help her by changing zones.

Hanyu Hideki, who was walking in front, naturally didn't know what Emmanuel Beah behind him was thinking.

Just from this gain, she did not please Hanyu Hideki in vain.

Although Hideki Hanyu is a scumbag, he still has bottom-line requirements for women.

At least better than most assholes who just write bad checks.

Of course, his company is not the only one facing a bad situation in Hollywood these days.

Hideki Hanyu has already agreed to take her with him to Europe next time and arrange for her to serve as the European spokesperson for Onirique Jewelry's new "Star Language" series.

After the box office failure of "Angels in the World" in another time and space, Emmanuelle Béard's entry into Hollywood was temporarily interrupted, but she is still the muse of many men in Europe.

Changes in fashion trends and rising production costs have made it difficult for many small production companies to operate.

Dino De Laurentiis is also taking precautions.

Then Dino De Laurentiis introduced his wife and children to Hanyu Hideki.

This young super-rich man is not the kind of man who would be captured by beauty or be carried away by sweet words.

As soon as Hideki Hanyu walked into the entrance of the company, Dino De Laurentiis, who had been waiting for him for a long time, enthusiastically greeted him with open arms.

But this is normal. They knew from the moment they paid in front of the camera that they would draw a clear line between themselves and a certain class in their future lives.

So when the car arrived at the door of De Laurentiis Entertainment, Hanyu Hideki was the first to get out of the car.

It is said that because Emmanuelle Béard and actor Michael Cohen are in a relationship, the filming was done with real guns, showing the audience what real art is without reservation.

The movie "Ocean Manon" won the Cesar Award at the beginning of the year. It was really...

This family has taken root in the film and television industry, and both wives and children are now engaged in related industries.

Even though Emmanuelle Béa is nearly fifty, he still produced "The Beginning of the End" which has an explosive scale.

Emmanuelle Beah looked at the scumbag's back and realized Hanyu Hideki's attitude.

"Mr. Hanyu, welcome to De Laurentiis Entertainment!"

The main reason why Dino De Laurentiis is so enthusiastic is that he has realized that the current situation of De Laurentiis Entertainment is very bad.

Therefore, no matter what Emmanuel Beah says, the scumbag always does it in a perfunctory way.

Of course, there is another premise, that is, the results of "Angels in the World" this time cannot be too bad.

At least in Emmanuelle Béart's opinion, Hideki Hanyu is a very good man, handsome, strong, gentle and considerate, and willing to keep his promises.

Thinking of this, Dino De Laurentiis said to Hideki Hanyu, "This is Mr. Hanyu's first time coming to my company. Let me show you around first."

"That's fine." Hanyu Hideki readily agreed.

Next, Hideki Hanyu moved around at De Laurentiis Entertainment.

Now it seems that Dino De Laurentiis's company is still quite well-established and has also left many familiar works in film history.

Dino De Laurentiis himself is a leading filmmaker, both in Europe and America.

But it is a pity that when the times want to abandon a person, they will not care about this person's resume, and will not give this person any time to prepare.

At the end of the visit, Dino De Laurentiis saw that the time was almost up and invited Hanyu Hideki into the screening room to watch the completed "Angels in the World".

At this time, in the screening room, except for the staff related to promotion and distribution.

The main creative staff of the movie are basically all here.

Among the entire creative cast, in addition to the angelic Emmanuel Béa, Phoebe Cates in a red strapless skirt, and director Tom McLoughlin who looks like a rock singer, are all very eye-catching.

Then, it’s more than an hour of movie watching.

How to evaluate Hideki Hanyu?
It should be said that apart from the very beginning of the film, which features Yunshang Pictures's final title sequence of feathers flying into the sky, this "Angel in the World" is the same as the original version.

Just like another time and space, the deepest impression left on him by this movie was the beauty of Emmanuelle Beah, and then there was nothing.

I can’t say it’s not good enough, I can only say it’s too mediocre and too old-fashioned.

"Mr. Hanyu, what do you think?"

When the movie ended, Dino De Laurentiis immediately came up to ask.

Hanyu Hideki spread his hands and said, "Mr. Dino, I am not a professional film critic, but as an audience, it is still good."

He said and looked at Emmanuelle Beah, "And Emmanuelle is really beautiful. I believe no man would reject such an angel."

"Thank you for the compliment, sir." Emmanuel Beah responded with a sweet smile.

The reason why Hideki Hanyu said this was to divert attention. After all, Dino De Laurentiis wanted to ask him again, and he didn't know how to answer.

After all, a good movie can boast in a variety of ways, just as you open your mouth.

But it’s too embarrassing to watch a bad movie. The actors are pretty, the soundtrack is good, and the props are real...

If you attend a premiere, you can just deal with it and get over it.

But in this situation, once those words are spoken, the secret will be exposed.

Although Yunshang Pictures invested US$4 million in this movie, Hanyu Hideki was not here to make money.

To be on the safe side, Hanyu Hideki didn't wait for Dino De Laurentiis to speak again, then he took the initiative to put his arm around the Italian old man's shoulders and deliberately lowered his voice and asked.

"Mr. Dino, do you still have the costume for filming Angel? I like it very much. How about selling it to me for my collection?"

When Dino De Laurentiis heard this, he suddenly showed a smile that every man would understand.

"If Mr. Hanyu likes it, I can have it delivered to your residence."

"Then please leave it to Mr. Dino."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he immediately wrote down the address of Qiuhua's mansion south of Sunset Boulevard.

He decided to let Emmanuel Beah cosplay and play with the original French Angel first.

When Monica Bellucci comes back from Europe, he will experience the taste of an Italian angel again.

Hideki Hanyu came to see the movie this time mainly to see if the movie was as "stable" as in his previous life.

Now that seeing the movie makes him feel "reassured", he naturally has no need to stay here.

Next, the creators of "Angels in the World" will also discuss the promotion plan with the staff of De Laurentiis Entertainment, which has nothing to do with Hanyu Hideki.

Therefore, after saying goodbye to Dino De Laurentiis, he left De Laurentiis Entertainment Group.

Emmanuel Beah, who came with him, had something to discuss and did not go with him.

But before leaving, he did not forget to make an appointment with the French beauty to meet again after the angel costume was delivered.

and angels…

It’s exciting to think about.

With such a mood, Hanyu Hideki went out to find a restaurant for lunch, and then asked Marco to drive to Yunshang Film Studio in Century City.

Although he does not intend to participate in the negotiations for "One Flew Over the Child", as it involves hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue and even more so the development of Yunshang Pictures in Hollywood, he should still care about the outcome.

Soon, Hideki Hanyu arrived at Yunshang Film Building.

However, Hanyu Hideki, who took the elevator to the company, did not notice that when he entered the elevator, a young girl walked in at the door of the building.

This girl is no one else, she is the assistant assigned to Jenny Wright by the New Century Agency.

After the female assistant discovered Hanyu Hideki and his party, she immediately ran back to the company excitedly and sent a paging message to Jenny Wright.

……

In the manager's office of Yunshang Pictures, Hideki Hanyu frowned after listening to Fred Weber's report.

"In other words, our negotiations with Amy Heckerling and his wife are going very well, but the filming will not start until at least August next year."

Fred Weber nodded, "There is nothing we can do about it. After all, Director Amy is pregnant. It is really inconvenient to work in this situation."

"No wonder..."

Hideki Hanyu was still wondering why Another Time and Space was only released in 1989, even though the script for "One Flew Over the Innocence" is now available.

Originally, he thought it was Amy Heckerling and his wife's investment failure.

As a result, I found out now that she was pregnant and wanted to give birth to a baby.

"Boss, what did you say?"

Fred Weber did not hear Hanyu Hideki's muttering clearly.

Hideki Hanyu waved his hands quickly and said, "I just remembered other things."

He did not forget to remind him, "I actually contacted two projects at the promotion meeting yesterday and made an appointment to come to the company for an interview tomorrow. You will negotiate the specific work."

After speaking, he pulled out a piece of paper and wrote the information about "A Fish Named Wanda" and "Midnight Fright" on it.

Fred Weber looked at the information on the paper and asked, "Do I have to take it?"

“I’m very optimistic about those two projects.”

As soon as Hideki Hanyu said this, Fred Weber knew what he should do.

The boss said, that is, it is better to kill the wrong person than let it go.

However, Fred Weber did not forget to ask Hanyu Hideki.

"Boss, do you have a production budget for these two projects?"

“A Fish Called Wanda, I committed a production budget of seven million dollars and the ability to shoot on location in England.

Midnight Terror has not yet been confirmed. The producer of the project said that he would like to invite Al Pacino to star. Please consider the salary when negotiating. "

But Fred Weber wasn't too worried after hearing Al Pacino's name.

Al Pacino is of course a big-name actor in Hollywood, but in today's Hollywood, he is a typical example of high fame and low pay.

In particular, "Revolution", which he starred in in 1985, suffered a disaster at the box office and reputation. It didn't even make one million US dollars at the box office in North America.

For Hollywood film companies, what matters most to actors is their recent box office performance.

It is said that Paramount has always wanted to launch "The Godfather Part III", but even for this sequel movie, the salary for Al Pacino is only US$3 million.

Not to mention compared to those action stars who earn tens of millions at the box office, even Bruce Willis, who is making his first movie, can get this salary.

Of course, the reason why Yunshang Pictures agreed to pay Bruce Willis a salary of 5 million was not only to use the salary to promote hype, but also because Bruce Willis agreed to sign a salary restriction contract.

That is, if Yunshang Pictures shoots a sequel to "Die Hard", Bruce Willis's salary increase will be limited.

Of course we can negotiate within the scope, but we won’t let Bruce Willis ask for a sky-high price.

And this was strongly requested by Hideki Hanyu.

The topic returned to Al Pacino. Yunshang Pictures invited him to cooperate, and the salary cap was only 5 million.

It's still expensive, but at least it's affordable.

After calculating the box office budgets of several movies, Fred Weber finally spoke to Hideki Hanyu.

"Boss, although these movies will not be produced at the same time, including the two previous major productions, our production budget in two years will exceed 100 million US dollars. The parent company had better be prepared."

"Don't worry, I will explain to the person in charge of the group that I will never let Yunshang Entertainment use North America's budget."

Hideki Hanyu assured. And he really had to say this in person. The production cost in two years would exceed US$100 million, which is not a small figure even for major studios.

But the good news is that the yen has appreciated strongly in recent times and has reached the 130 mark.

Converted to 100 million U.S. dollars, that’s 13 billion yen.

Neon's companies are now desperately investing overseas by taking advantage of the exchange rate advantage.

However, Hanyu Hideki is not too anxious yet, because he knows that the yen still has a lot of room for growth.

Of course, he will not wait until the highest point is below one hundred yen.

That space was too short-lived and had to wait until the mid-nineties.

Think about it from another angle. With the exchange rate rising like this, it is not unreasonable to say that Yunshang Pictures is backed by the parent company's deep wealth.

So despite the fact that he helped Yunshang Pictures find nearly 50 million US dollars in investment projects in one night, Yunshang Entertainment Group, whose turnover is still rising rapidly due to the bubble economy, can handle it easily.

Having too much money to spend, but the bank still desperately recommends loans, is definitely a happy worry.

He forcefully forced Asako Hirohashi to use the money for various investments.

In addition to real estate and investing in the stock market, what I do most is actually various expansions and acquisitions.

The practice in the neon entertainment industry is to acquire animation studios, small firms, or hold shares in peers in the industry, etc.

In terms of channel construction, the acquisition of Tsutaya Bookstore is only one of them. The expansion and construction of domestic and overseas distribution and publicity channels are the top priority.

For example, acquiring shares of TVB, investing in media markets in Southeast Asia such as Malaysia and Star City, including newspapers, magazines, publications, radio, television, etc.

The one that has contributed the most to this is Cloud Media, which has always been silent.

Hirohashi Asako's original intention of setting up Cloud Media was just to publish some publications aimed at fans of the Cloud series.

As a result, Neon has successively invested in the past few years and has mastered huge media resources, both locally and overseas.

Of course, cloud media is not the only one that is conquering cities and territories overseas.

Yunshang Entertainment relies on talent shows and variety shows to cooperate with local forces throughout East Asia. On the surface, there is no trace of it, but many emerging brokerage companies are actually controlled by Yunshang Group.

Of course, the one that is most popular overseas is Yunshang Music (Asia), which is not only committed to promoting the popularity of Yunshang singers overseas.

In the past two years, under the instruction of Hanyu Hideki, he waved his money to start a poaching war. The war stretched from Hong Kong to the Gulf, and Southeast Asia was not immune.

In the past, when other record companies poached people, they basically poached front-of-house singers.

But Yunshang Music (Asia) is different. It really takes care of everything from the front to the back.

If you can dig them out, dig them out; if you can't dig them out, encourage the other party to set up their own business.

With this move, the Wanwan music market has been turned upside down.

The focus of the next stage is to use entertainment media resources to feed back the development of the fashion industry.

Aiyi International continues to expand, and TGC is a key support target.

The next step is to occupy the fashion highlands across Asia.

Then bring all areas together.

Looking back on this, Hanyu Hideki said with conscience that he himself did not know how far the Yunshang system would develop.

It can only be said that he designed the general direction for this "monster".

Then it took advantage of the capital advantage during the neon bubble economy period, instinctively extended its tentacles to the outside world, and began to expand its territory bit by bit.

Snapped!
Hideki Hanyu patted his forehead.

Originally, I just wanted to say hello to Asako Hirohashi and let Yunshang Entertainment spare the budget of Yunshang Pictures, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought about it.

And the more I think about it, the more I feel like he is like a big BOSS standing behind the scenes.

He originally just wanted to make a little money and be a scumbag beauty, but why did this stall get bigger and bigger.

The key point is that everything now is just the beginning for him who is prophetic.

hiss--

He really wanted to keep a low profile, but his heart was still a little bloated.

"Boss, are you okay?"

Fred Weber, who was next to him, saw Hanyu Hideki's changing expressions and asked with concern.

Hanyu Hideki was reminded of the reality by the questioning voice, shook his head and said, "It's okay."

After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave.

But affected by a slightly inflated mentality, he patted Fred Weber on the shoulder and said before leaving.

"Fred, let's work together. In the future, I might be able to buy one of the eight major studios and send you to be the CEO."

But when Fred Weber heard this, he just thought Hanyu Hideki was joking.

"Boss, stop joking. Instead of thinking so far ahead, we should think about how to solve our manpower shortage problem."

joke?

Hideki Hanyu thought that Sony could buy Columbia and Panasonic could buy Universal.

Even if he doesn't resist the first wave of damage, he will let these two families act as shields.

But when Panasonic can no longer operate, it might not be a bad idea to discuss taking over Global.

When the time comes for Elfland and Universal Studios to merge and build, he won't even look down on Disneyland.

But there was no need to talk to Fred Weber about this kind of thing.

As for the lack of manpower?
Hanyu Hideki asked curiously, "What manpower do we lack now?"

Fred Weber replied, "It's easy to recruit technical staff, but it's hard to find experienced producers. I have to handle the company's affairs now, and many times I can't do the same job at the same time."

Hearing this, Hideki Hanyu touched his chin and asked.

“What’s going on at Cannon Pictures?”

Fred Webber said, "Captain America and Spider-Man's contracts have been signed, and there is absolutely no problem in delaying the copyright expiration."

"That's not what I'm talking about, it's the business situation of Cannon Pictures."

"Superman 4's performance is terrible, and their financial situation must not be good."

"Ask Minahan Golan. If there are layoffs at his side, we can help take in some people. Moreover, many independent production companies in Hollywood have been operating very poorly recently. You can sort out the list and choose the right ones directly. Acquisition."

When Fred Weber heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Boss, do you want to establish a distribution channel in America?"

"We will not consider it in the short term. The group is now waiting for the President's bill to lift the vertical operation of theater chains, and then it will enter the American theater market for development. This is more important than saving money on distribution."

Hideki Hanyu to Fred Weber.

Although Yunshang Pictures has its own channels in America, it will definitely save a lot of distribution costs, but compared with the benefits brought by the expansion of Crescent Cinema, these costs are not worth mentioning.

Moreover, Hanyu Hideki must also consider that before Sony, Panasonic and other companies come to Hollywood to attract attention, Yunshang Pictures cannot attract too much attention from Hollywood.

Otherwise, with his ability to go all out and search for big-selling movies, Yunshang Pictures would not need to spend money in the independent film industry.

It’s not like it has been established for more than a year and has not produced a single hit movie, and the investment in "Angels in the World" is about to lose money.

Even in the next two years, only a few blockbuster movies are prepared.

Although his mentality is a bit inflated, he is still quite steady in his work.

After all, Sony's acquisition of Columbia caused quite a stir.

But when Panasonic bought Universal, everyone became accustomed to it.

Then by the time he takes over Universal, no one will probably care anymore.

At this time, Hanyu Hideki thought of another person, Neil Israel, the husband of Amy Heckerling, the director of "One Flew Over the Child" who had just won the film.

He said to Fred Weber, "Contact Amy Heckerling. Her husband Neil Israel also has experience as a producer and invite him to join Yunshang Entertainment."

Fred Weber replied, "Okay, I'll be in touch next."

"You keep busy, I'll leave first."

Next, Hanyu Hideki said goodbye and left.

But just when Hideki Hanyu walked to the elevator hall and was thinking about where to spend the night today, two figures appeared in front of him.

It was Jenny Wright and Sherlyn Fenn who were accompanied by Bill Hart, the manager of New Century Agency, at last night's event.

(Xuelin Fen·picture)
"Sir, what a coincidence."

Jenny Wright greeted with a smile.

Hanyu Hideki said in his heart, "It's weird if I believe you. If this woman hadn't been here to guard him in advance, he would have taken these two people back together at night."

Of course, you can also just bring Xuelin Fen and Jenny Wright.

Although this woman is also beautiful, after having fun a few times, the novelty has long since disappeared.

And he also gave all the benefits that should be given. It was a fair deal and no one owed anything to anyone.

Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu responded casually, "Yes, what a coincidence."

Then he turned to look at Xuelin Fen, "Miss Xuelin Fen, we meet again."

Compared to Jenny Wright, the scumbag's attitude towards Xuelin Fen is obviously much more serious.

After all, this is a well-known movie star in Hollywood.

Of course, fame is just a plus for a scumbag.

The most important thing is, of course, that this woman is beautiful enough.

He didn't have the opportunity to witness the female stars of Hollywood's golden age, but he could appreciate them to some extent through Xuelin Fenn.

"Hello, Mr. Hanyu." Xuelin Fen looked a little embarrassed.

It's not that this woman can't let go, it's mainly because Hanyu Hideki's identity puts too much pressure on her.

Following Jenny Wright these days, Xuelin Fen gradually learned about Hanyu Hideki's identity information, and knew that this was a person who could easily decide her fate.

Hanyu Hideki was in a good mood today, and there was a beautiful woman in front of him, so it was difficult for him to ask, "Are you here to talk about work at Yunshang Pictures?"

"We want to inquire about something."

As Jenny Wright spoke, she deliberately approached Hanyu Hideki and asked in a pretense of intimacy, "Sir, can you reveal some news to me?"

Facing Jenny Wright who was approaching, the scumbag immediately frowned.

Seeing that something was wrong, Jenny Wright knew that if she continued talking, her secret would be exposed in front of Xuelin Fen, so she took the opportunity of leaning her head close to Hanyu Hideki and lowered her voice and whispered.

"Sir, Sherlyn Fenn admires you very much, just like those ladies last time in Malibu."

Hearing this, Hideki Hanyu immediately looked at Jenny Wright with some surprise.

What happened to this woman?

Are you not planning to be an actor, but are you planning to work part-time as a Hollywood "pimp" or "mom-sang"?

In later generations, many people made a fortune in Hollywood by doing this business.

The most important thing is that Sherlyn Fenn should be in a relationship with Johnny Depp now, right?

Hanyu Hideki's eyes fell on Xuelin Fen's face, thinking that this woman had already kicked Depp out in order to get the upper hand?
But regardless of whether Xuelin Fen kicked Depp or not, the other person's charming figure, graceful figure, and beautiful face are indeed the type that scumbags like.

Of course, Hanyu Hideki is also considering another thing, and that is the image of Xuelin Fen, which is actually very suitable for some of the future films planned by Yunshang Pictures.

Instead of wasting the beauty of the other party in those meat-selling movies, it would be better to sign a few more film contracts with Yunshang Pictures to make money for him.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki looked away from Xuelin Fen, turned to ask Jenny Wright, "What news do you want to know."

“Night of the Blood Corpse Sequel.”

As soon as Jenny Wright said these words, the first thought that came to her mind was that if she could join the crew of the sequel to Night of the Bloody Corpses, she would definitely leave New Century Agency.

She had to rely on herself every time she got a role. Bill Hart would just talk and take a free cut of her salary.

"So that's what happened. Let's talk about it in another place?"

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he walked towards the elevator.

Jenny Wright greeted Xuelin Fen while striding to keep up with Hanyu Hideki.

A look of hesitation appeared on Xuelin Fen's face.

In Xuelin Fen's view, according to Hollywood rules, such a big shot would take them away, and then either go to a hotel or a room with a red sofa.

But since she is willing to come with Jenny Wright, she is mentally prepared and ready to pay the price of fame.

So with only a moment's hesitation, Xuelin Fen followed.

But what happened next was completely beyond Xuelin Fen's expectations.

She and Jenny Wright rode in Hideki Hanyu's luxurious Rolls-Royce and finally came to a...

Texas Barbecue.

On a table filled with barbecued meats, Hideki Hanyu ate happily.

Seeing that the two women in front of him were motionless, he raised his head to ask.

"Why don't you eat it? Please don't be polite. The slow-roasted beef brisket here tastes very good."

"Oh...oh, thank you."

Xuelin Fen was a little dumbfounded and blankly picked up a piece of beef and put it into her mouth.

At the same time, she was very confused.

What about the hotel room? What about the red sofa?
