The Unbridled Life of a Tycoon

Chapter 852 Gift: A Character

Nina walked to the dining table, and the next moment she saw Li Yue took out a fresh red rose, handed it to her eyes, and said affectionately: "Nina, I like you very much, please be my woman..."

"Wait...what's going on?"

Because it happened so suddenly, Nina was stunned on the spot.

"Sit down first and say, be by my side..."

Li Yue looked very familiar and directly took Nina's little hand and sat down side by side with him.

"Well... Li, I think you may have misunderstood... I am Emma's good friend. Although I have good feelings for you, but..."

Sitting next to Li Yue, Nina stuttered. She was naturally extremely nervous sitting next to the man she liked, let alone what he said.

Seeing her at a loss, Li Yue couldn't help but put his big hands on Nina's slender legs and comforted her: "It doesn't matter, I know your difficulties, but Annabelle has already told me what happened last night... "

"Ah?" Nina was momentarily stuck.

"I deliberately chose to avoid meeting you Emma, ​​because I don't think what happened that night was an accident. I feel very good about you and hope to be with you..."

"but……"

"Emma, ​​I'm going to do the work. The key is, are you willing? Besides, Emma should be prepared for the three of you to be together, right? This girl doesn't have enough confidence in herself, so she pulled her along. You... if it were anyone else, I would naturally not agree, but you are different..."

Every word of the scumbag spoke to Nina's heart. A woman in love always thinks that her situation is different from others, and that her man is different from other men. Nina thinks so too. .

So following Li Yue's words, he stretched out his arm and put it on Nina's shoulders, and the blonde beauty fell into her arms...

This is the reason why Li Yue had a showdown with Annabelle first, and then met Nina: the former was more thoughtful and opinionated, and his love for Li Yue was more a woman's natural liking for handsome and strong men, but Nina was different. It can be seen from the interactions between several people that she really likes Li Yue and simply likes him as a person.

The more you like someone, the more you give, and the easier it is to convince someone. This is generally the case for things between men and women, without exception.

However, with Li Yue, he naturally had a feeling in his heart that the feedback Annabelle received was actually not as good as Nina's, because that night, Nina really had a date with Li Yue, and then the two returned to Li Yue spent a wonderful night at his third mansion in Los Angeles.

Annabelle had almost no process and had a showdown right from the car, while Nina received Li Yue's care and favor. This was Li Yue's differential treatment, and it wasn't over yet...

The next morning, Nina woke up and walked out of the bedroom. She saw that Li Yue had filled the entire dining table with a sumptuous breakfast. He greeted her: "Hi, beauty, what do you like to eat? Come and sit."

At this moment, Nina's mood suddenly became wonderful. She and Li Yue enjoyed a sumptuous breakfast alone, and then saw a pretty girl knocking on the door and walking in.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Miss Mihir Heina, the first secretary of the North American Secretariat. If you need anything in the future, you can contact her at any time."

It was Manny's beauty secretary in North America who came in. Mihir had a pretty face that was not inferior to Manny's, as well as a more proud figure and youthful aura. However, because Li Yue's vision was too high, so He has never used her much. Now, the number of women in Los Angeles has expanded rapidly. Naturally, he has to transfer people from the secretary office to take charge of this place. In addition, Manny has also returned to New York, where Horst and Lee are in charge. Ma and other women will also be taken over by her newly recruited North American secretary office members, from the original secretary office member Peng Shiliu and other three women.

"Hello, Mihir, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful and look very young..."

"Hello, Miss Nina, this is a gift from BOSS..."

Mihir came over. In addition to taking over and establishing the secretary office in Los Angeles, he also brought a gift specially given to Nina by Li Yue.

"Thank you dear……"

Nina took the box, walked to Li Yue, kissed intimately, separated, and then opened the box at Li Yue's urging.

"This is?"

"A sequel to a movie produced by Disney has completed all kinds of work. The casting of relevant important supporting roles is now in progress. By chance, I got the casting rights."

Li Yue said vaguely.

What appeared in front of Nina was a script bound on 4A paper, titled "Alice in Wonderland 2 Through the Looking Glass" - The Red Queen!
"It's actually the sequel to a hit movie. My dear, this... is really great. I don't know how to thank you. It's unbelievable. It's Disney's number one movie and a masterpiece that inherits the high expectations of "Pirates of the Caribbean"... "

As an insider, Nina naturally knows a lot about this drama. The first part of "Alice in Wonderland" once dominated the North American box office for a long time. It mainly starred the famous Johnny Depp. , Anne Hathaway and other super stars.

It can be said that these are all box office guarantees. As long as the second part is filmed, it will immediately reach the top. It is just a question of a few hundred million or more than a billion in box office!

The role of the Red Queen is the first supporting role opposite to the White Queen played by Anne Hathaway. How could Nina be able to get such an important role?

"Relax, this is a gift for you, I believe in your talent in acting..."

Li Yue hugged Nina from behind and comforted her with a soft smile. Mihir took a few steps back appropriately and went to other rooms, leaving space for the passionate couple.

Needless to say, Nina tried her best to thank Li Yue for the generous gift, but after Li Yue finished enjoying it, he left Mihir behind to deal with the joint property that was given to Nina and Annabelle. He left in a hurry.

After driving for about half an hour, I entered a high-end restaurant on Wilshire Avenue in Beverly Hills.

"Li, this way..."

As soon as he arrived at the door of the restaurant, Li Yue saw a fair and beautiful figure standing at the door of the restaurant, waving to him.

Even Li Yue felt a little flattered at this time. He walked up and said with a smile: "Annie, why do you come out to greet me in person? This is really flattering..." Standing at the door of the restaurant to greet him was actually a top-notch woman from Hollywood. Anne Hathaway, it can be said that she is one of the most popular beauties in North America. If she is recognized, it will probably cause a wave of people. Coupled with her identity and beauty, this kind of favor will naturally elicit a reaction from any man.

"Founder of PLAY Group, this is a well-deserved courtesy..."

Anne Hathaway was wearing a retro woolen coat and a lace-trimmed black round hat, which partially obscured the upper part of her beautiful face. When Li Yue came over, she immediately grabbed Li Yue's arm. While walking forward in an intimate manner, he smiled and said: "Li, are you satisfied with my gift?"

"Very satisfied, thank you for your support."

The "Red Queen" contract previously given to Nina was the result of Anne Hathaway's mediation. However, Li Yue did not pay the price. He then said: "PLAY Entertainment will pursue you. Today we Will our meeting be photographed?"

"If you think about it, I also have a more professional team behind me."

Anne Hathaway showed a bright smile. She actually didn’t have much decision-making power about the role of the Red Queen. After all, this is a super project of Disney, but PLAY Entertainment is very powerful:

"Superhero" has already exceeded 5 million at the box office in North America, and there are rumors in the industry that Li Yue is about to film a second film. Several major Hollywood film companies are eyeing this piece of fat, and Disney is no exception. In addition, Nina's character and fan base are highly overlapped with the "Alice in Wonderland" series, so it's not surprising that she was chosen.

"We'll talk about this later. In fact, I still want to really bring Miss Anne into the company..." Li You hinted vaguely.

Annie's affiliation with PLAY Entertainment was Li Yue's response to her earlier proposal at the villa in Manhattan, New York. At first, Li Yue felt that this big star had really beautiful ideas and wanted PLAY Entertainment to cooperate with her in promoting her without doing anything. Now that she has Interests are naturally different.

However, Li Yue's own sexual interest in Anne Hathaway is only average. Although she is a beautiful woman who fits Li Yue's aesthetics, she understands the reputation of Hollywood's top actresses.

The two chatted while walking, and soon entered a private room on the second floor of a high-end restaurant. There were already some men and women gathered here, including Hollywood's top actor, "Captain" Johnny Depp.

"Welcome, Mr. Li Yue."

Someone took the initiative to stand up and stretched out his hand to Li Yue. Anne next to him introduced him in time: "This is Tim Burton, the producer of "Through the Looking Glass". This is..."

Tim Burton is not a big figure among this group of people, and there is a white man sitting next to Depp, but he seems to have deliberately distanced himself from him.

"Robert Iger, former Disney CEO, Disney Chairman..."

Following Annie's voice, this person stood up and shook hands with Li Yue.

Li Yue was a little surprised and said: "I didn't expect to meet Mr. Egger. It's my honor..."

About 10 years ago, Disney Emperor Michael Eisner failed in a power struggle, ending his 21-year rule over Disney. The winner was none other than Robert Iger. Of course, there were rumors that Jobs and others were also interested in him. With their great help, the "cruel" rule of that "emperor" was overthrown.

"No, no, no, it was too late when I saw you. I didn't expect Mr. Li to be so young..."

Robert Iger once resigned from the position of CEO of Disney, but he has always been the chairman of Disney's board of directors and firmly controls the course of this largest entertainment ship. If there is a single wheel of power in the entertainment industry, he is absolutely No. 1.

But when chatting with Li Yue, he seemed very humble, even a little introverted, giving Li Yue the illusion that he was Chinese.However, after the initial pleasantries, Robert Egger fell silent and allowed others to discuss cooperation with Li. They were talking about the investment share and subscription amount of "Alice in Wonderland 2-Through the Looking Glass". This is the ultimate reason why Nina was able to get the role of "Red Queen".

The negotiations were completed quickly, and Li Yue's generosity impressed almost everyone. In the end, Li Yue almost subscribed for nearly one-third of the investment in the second part of this series of movies.

Investing in Hollywood movies sounds glamorous, but in fact, because Hollywood movies are completely monopolized by six major production companies, the box office level of the movie and the profits generated have almost nothing to do with investors, and more to do with the production and distribution companies. "Conscience", so if you invest in a big production from the Big Six, you are likely to face a loss or only be able to recover your principal.

But both parties present knew very well that Li Yue did not want to make much profit with this super production. For him, super production was just a stepping stone. Otherwise, the founder of PLAY Group and the chairman of Disney would be too powerful. titles, it is impossible to gather in a small restaurant box.

"Miss Anne, I want to talk to Mr. Li alone."

After the matter was discussed, as soon as Robert Iger spoke, the others quickly stood up and left the room. When only he and Li Yue were left in the box, the Disney helmsman asked: "I heard that you intend to acquire th Century Fox." Fox?"

Li Yue raised his eyebrows and praised: "Disney's intelligence work is very good. My actions are actually very covert, and I was confident that I would not be discovered."

He has been staying in Los Angeles. In fact, he has serious business. Although he has not contributed, he has been monitoring PLAY Entertainment and the acquisition of th Century Fox shares. This is Li Yue's biggest goal when he came to Hollywood.

"Indeed, but Disney has been coveting th Century Fox for many years and has never given up on penetrating it. Therefore, among the individual shareholders your company is looking for, there are people who have been with me for many years..."

Robert Iger said frankly, and then added: "I hope to have a frank communication with Mr. Li, and it is best to confirm a friendly competition agreement to avoid competition."

The so-called friendly competition refers to the tacit understanding reached in advance by both parties when they intend to acquire a company to prevent the acquisition target from "raising the price". This tacit understanding can be confirmed in the form of a legal contract and cannot be violated.

It sounds like this is extremely beneficial to PLAY Entertainment, who has just arrived, but Li Yue raised his eyebrows and refused: "I'm sorry, the PLAY Group is at a disadvantage in other aspects except money, and we can't give up our only advantage."

The friendly competition agreement means that the price cannot be increased to acquire shares, which is naturally intolerable to Li Yue, who "money is just a number".

On the other hand, for a super group like Disney, no matter how open its business is, the liquidity will be tight. If it wants to swallow up th Century Fox, which is also one of the six major companies, the cost will be astronomical!

"What if we exchange shares? Use Disney's shares in exchange for PLAY Group's shares?"

"Feel sorry!"

"It can be agreed that either party needs to take out 10% of the shares after the acquisition is completed, and the other party will pay for the purchase according to the purchase price..."

"Well……"
