American Life

Chapter 130

The next day, when Ivanie returned to the company to resume work and heard that a celebration party was going to be held in the evening, she went to the top floor to find Charlie.

"It seems that the sales are pretty good. Are there going to be a celebration party?" Ivanie said with a smile.

"It's okay, it meets expectations." Charlie said very modestly.

"30W sales volume?"

"A little higher."

"300W?"

"Close."

When the final sales volume was announced, Ivanie's expression looked really surprised. From her point of view, if Charlie hadn't personally verified it, she would never have believed that there would be such a result.

It turned out to be a terrifying 400W sales volume, with a cumulative sales volume of hundreds of millions of dollars. How long has it been?If this momentum continues, it is not impossible for annual sales to exceed US$50 billion. This has exceeded the financial report released by Victoria's Secret. PB has become one of the top ten clothing sales brands in the United States.

"Thanks to you and the tireless efforts of hundreds of employees behind you," Charlie said matter-of-factly.

The idea of ​​nylon stockings was originally proposed by Ivanni, and she just modified it on this basis.

Besides, without the design finalization and promotion of the employees behind the scenes and a series of activities, naturally this achievement would not have been achieved.

"You look pretty today." Charlie added immediately.

"Thank you." Ivanie raised her eyebrows. She wore a light green dress today. This color is usually very difficult to control, but it suits her very well.

At this time, Ivanie also discovered a camera on Charlie's table, and she was a little confused.

"What do you mean?"

"A reality show, to be precise, is more of a video record." Charlie began to explain the ins and outs.

"Has it started yet?" Ivanie looked a little surprised, "I wonder what role you have arranged for me?"

"Of course it's just a supporting role. You definitely don't want to be the protagonist."

"why?"

"I'll find out tonight."

At night, when Ivanie saw Faith Hill and others surrounded by several cameras not far away, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue.

She now finally understood why Charlie explained like this.

Faith Hill and others also saw Ivanni at this time and couldn't help but get closer.Most of the people here are employees of PB Company. In fact, Faith and others don't know many of them. However, Ivanie and Chris, who is standing behind her at the moment, have met before when they were eating.

"Are you all living together?" Ivanie couldn't help but ask. When she got the definite answer, she kept smiling on the surface.

"I'm afraid there's a hail of bullets in the villa right now." Ivanie said this when communicating with Charlie at the celebration banquet.

"Fortunately, there hasn't been much conflict so far, at least not like last time." Charlie explained.

"I hope you can still remain in such a relaxed state in a few days." Ivanie responded with a dumbfounded response.

"Why, you seem to be waiting for a joke to happen." Charlie asked.

"There must be some fun in an ordinary life."

"Then I think it is necessary to arrange some new tasks for you to prevent you from getting bored."

"do not want!"

Things did not develop as Ivani expected. At least on the surface, several people were in a peaceful state.

Charlie Rossi's private time also increased significantly at this time. He spent less and less time in the company and spent more and more time with a few people.

In fact, the company's various businesses have also entered a relatively stable state.

All business operations are proceeding in an orderly manner. During this period, two issues of the magazine were launched, one of which was about contemporary American science fiction literature. The cover featured Nicole Kidman, and the inside pages contained interviews with many famous figures, including Stephen King and George Martin. As well as the original author of Twilight, I was even lucky enough to invite JK Rowling. This is also due to Militan.Susan Collins, the original author of "The Hunger Games," also appears in this issue.

Another issue of the magazine is about the "new generation", including Kristen Stewart, Taylor Swift and Margot Robbie, as well as Jennifer Lawrence.She was promoting her new film "Winter's Bone", and it was because of the release of this film that PB contacted her.

In the blink of an eye, the filming of the reality show has come to an end. After a family trip to American Samoa, Charlie received a call from Kevin Feige.

"The post-production is nearing completion. When will you return to China? There will be a high-level viewing meeting, which will determine the subsequent promotion plan."

"I'll go back right away." Charlie ended the call with the other party happily.

"You look very happy?" Gisele Bundchen said.

She was already three months pregnant, and Faith Hill was nearly five months pregnant, and her belly was already slightly swollen.

"Yes, there is a company that is making a desperate move and risking everything. I'm going to add some firewood. Oh, this sentence will have to be cut by then." Charlie said to the camera in front of the two of them.

On the plane back home, Charlie separated from everyone and headed to Los Angeles by himself.

The first high-level screening was held at Marvel headquarters.

People from Marvel executives representing the producer, co-producers including Charlie, and major distributor Paramount were present.

This is the first time Charlie Rossi has come to Marvel's headquarters. There are various furnishings about superheroes inside the headquarters, and the walls are filled with many periodicals that have special value to Marvel. They are like It is framed and hung on the wall like a work of art, highlighting the history of this long-established company.

"To be honest, I'm a little nervous." Kevin Feige was still wearing a black jacket and a peaked cap as before.

"To be honest, we have rushed out the film and done our best. The remaining things are not up to us to decide." Charlie squeezed his shoulders and said in relief.

Regarding Marvel's death plan, the most critical link is missing, that is, Marvel must invest almost all its resources in this film to achieve the effect of a wave of death.

Taking advantage of this movie viewing party, Charlie must convince some people and let these old men have confidence in this film.

At the meeting, Charlie saw Stan Lee, who seemed to be in good health and didn't need a cane to walk yet.

Another crucial figure was Isaac Perlmutter.

Charlie Rossi, who was personally promoted by Isaac and used as a counterweight to Kevin Feige, only nodded slightly when he saw him.

The other party also nodded and smiled.

There is also an old friend, Paramount’s current CEO Brad Gray.

"I didn't expect to see you here again. Mr. Rossi." He hugged Charlie cordially.

"This may be a special fate, just like Marvel and Transformers." Charlie patted him on the back.

You must know that the "Cybertron" world view of Transformers back then was written by Marvel's screenwriters. Of course, the copyright owner ultimately belonged to Hasbro, and Marvel was just an outsourced worker.

"I hope Marvel can give us a surprise this time." Brad Gray sat down.

Compared to the bosses, Kevin Feige can only be regarded as a younger brother. He briefly introduced the selling points of the film to the senior executives present, and then the director came on stage, and then introduced the actors. After that, the lights began to turn off, and the basement The screen plays a rough cut of "Iron Man"...
