Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 279 explodes again!

The man and woman are in their youth and are attracted to each other.

These days, both of them have been indulging in pleasure.

Li Qiutang drank some water, and the water dripped onto his pants. Liu Yifei took advantage of the situation and stripped him, saying, "You can't even drink water at your age."

Liu Yifei was reading a script in the room. Li Qiutang came back from the hotel swimming pool, glanced at his girlfriend, and then carried her away.

When Li Qiutang was replying to emails and communicating about work in China, Liu Yifei crawled under the table and made trouble, and asked Li Qiutang to continue replying to emails.

Liu Yifei got up and stretched, but Li Qiutang pushed her back down, causing her to be late for work that day.

This Wednesday morning, Liu Yifei wanted to ride the roller coaster again, but was rejected by Li Qiutang.

"Didn't you say you wanted to make me stable?" Liu Yifei sat astride her boyfriend's waist.

"I really have something to do today. I have an appointment with a producer for dinner to discuss investment." Li Qiutang patted his girlfriend's butt, motioning her to get off him.

Li Qiutang went to wash up, and when she came out she saw Liu Yifei counting the elves she brought from China.

"There are only two left. Buy some more when you come back." Liu Yifei is not shy at all to say this now.

"Are American sizes the same as domestic sizes?" Li Qiutang lacks experience in this area.

"I don't know. You can't ask me to buy it. It's yours."

Li Qiutang said stubbornly: "To be precise, it is used to protect you, so you should buy it."

Liu Yifei understood instantly: "Screw you!"

Li Qiutang and Bobby Cohen met at Gwen's restaurant at 6600 Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. Their meat dishes are excellent.

When Michael Lynn introduced Li Qiutang to Bobby Cohen, Bobby Cohen was surprised. The only thing he knew about Li Qiutang was that he was the biggest dark horse in the history of the Golden Globe Awards.

He had seen In Time, but that was about it.

He didn't expect that this young director was the big boss behind Lantern Entertainment.

While waiting for the food, Bobby Cohen began to introduce his project. Magic movies are relatively rare, and Nolan's "The Prestige" is more of a science fiction thriller than a magic movie.

Bobby Cohen's project is called "Now You See Me", which literally means you see me, which is really ugly.

But if it is translated as "Now You See Me" it will be very attractive to the audience.

Magic movies are actually very expensive, and special effects are still required. Bobby Cohen set the budget at $7500 million.

A large part of the $7500 million was used for the actors' salaries. The leading actor, Jesse Eisenberg, was very popular at the time and his salary was the highest in the entire crew.

Li Qiutang liked the creativity of this movie very much, magic + robbery, it was really interesting. The three of them ate and talked, and each drank two glasses of beer. Bobby Cohen finally got Li Qiutang's investment commitment.

We will discuss the specific investment amount later.

Li Qiutang only decided on a $200 million advance payment at the dinner table.

After returning to the company, Li Qiutang asked Michael Lynn to buy as much of the film's share as possible, but the price had to be reasonable.

Michael Lynn also liked this movie, otherwise he would not have given it to Li Qiutang.

Li Qiutang was really impressed by this 70-year-old man. She gave him a chance, and he seized it. Then he brought himself so many good resources, and he had a second spring in his career at the age of seventy.

Li Qiutang is now a little worried about the old man's health. He is indeed old, 70 years old. Among the CEOs in Hollywood, there are few who are older than him.

No matter how healthy a 70-year-old is, he or she will always have some problems of one kind or another.

Regarding his boss's concern, Michael Lynn said that he is in good health and does not have Alzheimer's disease: "I can still work for another 20 years. Buffett is older than me, and he still works in the company."

Michael Lynn might think that the boss said this in order to find a younger manager to replace him. Li Qiutang did not really think about replacing Michael Lynn, but he did consider finding someone to share Michael Lynn's pressure.

"Pacific Rim" is scheduled to start filming in Toronto. The crew has already set off in an orderly manner and director Toro has already arrived.

"Pacific Rim" is about to start filming, which also means that Li Qiutang is leaving.

Of course his girlfriend couldn't bear to leave him, so she pestered him even more at night.

She said: "It's a waste if you buy it but don't finish it."

Li Qiutang said in a frivolous tone: "I can take it back and use it."

Liu Yifei was so angry that she picked up a pillow and started to hit him while cursing, "You're going to take it back? Who are you going to use it with? I'll beat you to death!"

Of course Li Qiutang had to fight back, and the final battle was so fierce that it was beyond words.

Finally, Liu Yifei pestered Li Qiutang to promise that she would keep her word and visit her once a month.

Li Qiutang naturally agreed.

The next day, Liu Yifei went to Toronto with the group, while Li Qiutang stayed for one more day and then returned home.

Before Li Qiutang had time to adjust to the jet lag, she was hit by another piece of news.

Autumn Pictures has another hit movie!

Li Qiutang doesn’t remember that the company has any new dramas, and the company will also be absent from this year’s Lunar New Year movie season.

It turned out that the "Love Is Not Blind" that he had always ignored became a hit.

"Love Is Not Blind" achieved a superb result of 33 million on the first day, despite being besieged by a number of Hollywood blockbusters such as "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", "Real Steel" and "Now You See Me". On Singles' Day, it even earned 2100 million at the box office, with more than 5074 screenings and 1.8 million viewers on the day.

After four days of release, the box office exceeded 1.4 million.

You have to know that this is a movie with an investment of only tens of millions.

The market was stunned.

Not to mention the outside world, even the people inside Autumn Pictures didn't expect the film to perform so well.

The analysis agency attributed the success to the good online marketing of "Love Is Not Blind". A movie about a broken heart and a male best friend on "Singles' Day" was able to resonate with young people.

Everyone is still in the exploratory stage when it comes to Weibo and new media marketing, and autumn is no exception.

The publicity and promotion team in autumn did not expect such a huge market response.

When Li Qiutang returned to China, the total box office of "Love Is Not Blind" had exceeded 33 million yuan.

Even Spielberg's "The Adventures of Tintin" is no match for it.

There was no time to adjust to the jet lag, so I went back to the company for a meeting. I especially praised the production and publicity. Li Qiutang did not take credit for it: "General Manager Zhang Zhao and I were not very concerned about this play, but it was made by everyone working together. I am very happy. General Manager Zhang Zhao and I have more appearances outside, usually representing the company, but the performance of this play shows that our team does not rely on individual celebrities. We can make a good film by coordinating between departments. I think this is very good.

If every film produced by the company can be like this, I will just sit at home and wait for good news."

There is no such easy boss in the world. Li Qiutang’s ultimate ideal is to sit at home and wait for good news.

It's almost the end of the year again, and the boss Li Qiutang has to run business for the company again.

The company's performance this year is so good, it should be much easier to talk to the moneybags about loans and investments at the end of the year.

Does my girlfriend's uncle work in a bank? I think I heard my future mother-in-law mention it.
