As time enters December, the entire northern hemisphere begins to enter the rhythm of ice and snow.

But John Dess felt more and more passionate in his heart.

Christmas is approaching, and in North America, merchants have begun to make various moves. Unconsciously, the atmosphere before the festival began to appear, and even the entire North America has begun to enter the Christmas rhythm.

At the same time, after the issuance agreement was signed, Colombia quickly entered the pace of work. Just as December was approaching, relevant publicity related to "Cauliwa" had already begun to appear.

Because of the hard requirements of Minghu culture, this film is defined as "a family-friendly animation work from China". In related promotions in Colombia, it is promoted as "a magical story from the ancient and mysterious Eastern country, a story of brothers fighting against evil together."

Li Qian did not interfere with these publicity plans at all, but John Des was always pursuing this matter, and this publicity plan was said to be finally finalized by him and Colombia.

He acted extremely attentively in the promotion and distribution of "Cauliwa".

During the negotiations on the release agreement, it was his repeated requests that Oriental Dream Film Company finally obtained the right to enter, and the additional 5 million US dollars in publicity and distribution funds will be provided by Oriental Dream Film Company, and the total amount of "Cauliwa" promotion and distribution funds will be increased from the original only 10 million US dollars to the level of 15 million US dollars. However, among the distribution share, Oriental Dream Film Company will only receive a 20% share!

And this is not the most critical.

More importantly, "Culhu Wa", which invested 15 million US dollars in publicity and distribution, may not be able to sell much box office after it is launched. For Oriental Dream Film Company, if it invests 5 million US dollars in participating in this promotion and promotion, it will be difficult to make the five million back!

Therefore, Colombia's view of John Des is probably like a fool, and there is also a little discussion within Oriental Dream Film Company.

However, Oriental Dream is personally controlled by Li Qian. John Dess invests in management and owns 8% of the shares. Li Qian also authorized him to manage the company with full authority, so no one can object to his decision to do so.

It was such a stupid business, such a business that was likely to be lost for five million dollars. An old Hollywood businessman like John Dess did it without hesitation.

Li Qian only smiled after learning about it, but Qi Jie said at the time: "If you win Colombia in the future, this person will definitely not be the president!"

Li Qian nodded and said yes.

However, it is quite good to have someone who is willing to flatter himself, even if he is actually using his own money to flatter himself.

And the problem is that he knows very well where to slap flattery!

The promotion of "Cauliwa" is to upgrade the promotion of "Cauliwa" even if you lose money, your boss will be happy. In the future, no one in European and American countries will not flatter you, and Li Qian will never believe it.

December 9, Manhattan District, New York.

In one morning, accompanied by Qi Jie, John Dess, and several American lawyers, Li Qian signed several contracts.

The total amount involved in these contracts is as high as more than 3 billion US dollars. Once the contract is finally completed, the commission paid to the entrusted party alone will reach tens of millions of dollars.

One of the big parts is Minghu Culture and Li Qian personally entrusted a company named PwC to complete two things. First, PwC is responsible for registering and establishing an offshore company on its behalf, as the initiator of the acquisition case. The second thing is that PwC will calculate the total assets and net assets of extremely large subsidiaries of Columbia Film Company in the United States, the total assets and net assets of tangible and intangible assets, and give a quotation valuation.

The second largest part is an authorized acquisition agreement, that is, Minghu Culture and Li Qian personally entrust Morgan Stanley Group to initiate the formal acquisition of Columbia Film Company and all its affiliated assets, and are responsible for the short-term financial takeover and audit after the acquisition.

Of course, this commission will also include the valuation of various assets under Columbia by Morgan Stanley Group.

The third major part is to entrust PwC and another law firm to conduct financial, accounting and legal supervision throughout the entire acquisition.

After the agreement was signed, the matter was officially handed over to several companies that accepted the entrustment.

Until this time, there were only a few people, including China and the United States, who knew that Minghu Culture had already launched an acquisition of a film giant like Columbia Film Company.

This matter is still at the top secret level until now.

After the agreement was signed, Qi Jie stayed in the United States and had full rights to handle the subsequent acquisitions. She plans to file an acquisition request with Colombia's holder Coca-Cola Company at the latest on December 20.

At this time, Li Qian flew directly from New York and flew back to China.

There was a shocking transaction going on there, but he repeatedly reminded himself to calm down and rest for two days after returning to China. Then, he appeared normally in the office of the art director of Minghu Culture Company, and started his morning office, replacing Qi Jie with the company's daily affairs, went to the ninth floor to do editing in the afternoon, and urged the special effects department to start the follow-up production schedule of "The Matrix" as soon as possible.

Because at this time, he knew very well that no matter how big the matter was, he would not have to interfere as an outsider.

The agreement was signed and the money was ready. He only had one thing left, that was: wait!

Waiting for the global release of "Culhu" and waiting for the acquisition to stir up a thousand waves.

…………

Shuntian Prefecture, Daxing, Minghu No. 1 Film and Television City.

The crew of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

After a day of filming, the crew finished work.

The actors returned to the dressing room to remove their makeup. The staff were busy sorting out the equipment. Several photographers and drama officials sorted out all the filmed materials, unused film, cameras, etc. Some had to be sent to the company for the day to be stored for the finalization of the entire scene. Some were stored nearby and sent to the exclusive warehouse of the crew of the "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in the film and television city.

Just like this, it has become much more convenient.

Because the film and television city belongs to Minghu Culture and everything is its own, after the security personnel are equipped, many not-so-precious equipment and props, etc. are shot every day, and you just need to simply sort it out and throw it on the scene. Tomorrow, you only need to come to the studio half an hour in advance for a certain reset, or arrange it according to the director's advance arrangement requirements, and everything is complete.

If you are out on the scene or filming in other film and television cities, at night, no matter how fragmented these things are, they must be packed up and loaded with the car. They will get up early the next morning and re-arrange them. They will take at least two hours or even more than three hours every day, which is wasted on these things.

Han Shunzhang sat in the director's chair for a while before he stood up.

Assistant director Liu Xueyi took the people to take the film and materials that had been filmed with important things and left first. He walked left and right, and watched the crew organize the machines, equipment, props, etc. with his own eyes. Then, when the actors started to take off their makeup and say goodbye to him, he smiled and nodded one by one, saying goodbye to others.

Then, the staff had almost gone, and the actors had basically been exposed. In the huge indoor classical studio, there were only five or six staff members still doing their final work, but he still did not leave. Instead, he walked over and carefully checked the things that the staff had sorted out just now.

Like him, there is also an assistant director Feng Bicheng.

There are three assistant directors in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

One is Liu Xueyi, who is responsible for all the hardware of the crew, and is responsible for props, sets, lighting, film, cameras, and even shooting vehicles. Everything that cannot be breathed by itself is his own management. It is called small logistics in the industry.

The second is to be responsible for all external activities of the crew, what to eat, where to live, a certain location to rent the venue in advance and negotiate the price, etc., and to break down some of the producer functions of Han Shunzhang, the director and producer. Such a role is called Daquan Logistics in the industry.

The person who plays this role in the crew is Li Qian’s classmate, Lu Bin.

The third deputy director is Feng Bicheng, who is responsible for casting during the preparation period, and after the crew is established, he is responsible for communicating with all the actors and behind-the-scenes staff, and is responsible for personnel reception, etc.

To be honest, Feng Bicheng, the deputy director, has the least responsibility and power.

During the casting period, Li Qian must choose the big role. The important roles at the second level were decided by the director and producer Han Shunzhang. As the casting assistant director, at best, he was just a running errand and organized materials. Later, he decided the level of supporting roles and extras. To put it bluntly, he recruited a few extras and added a few lunch boxes, so he had to go to explain and communicate with Lu Bin.

But since the preparation period began, he has been very happy on the crew of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Here, there is almost no glory and glory that the 500 million director should have, and only a large handyman who is busy all day long and pays attention to everything.

Lu Bin, the big logistics partner of Li Qian, is Li Qian's best friend, and he looks down on Feng Bicheng very much, but Feng Bicheng treats him smilingly. He does every single trivial matter such as the number of extras and lunch boxes every day, so that Lu Bin doesn't have to worry too much. Liu Xueyi, Li Qian's best friend, has a more peaceful personality, but he has a heavy burden on him. Every day he is responsible for sending the film taken today back to the company's film library to seal it, so he is behind to check various equipment and other things. Feng Bicheng consciously helps him stare at it. Over time, Liu Xueyi still has a good impression of him and can usually squat together to smoke a cigarette and chat.

As for Han Shunzhang, the big housekeeper of the Minghu Cultural Film and Television Department, since he proposed to join the crew to help him, he has completely never treated him as an outsider, regardless of shooting, actor training, or even camera burial, etc., all kinds of issues, once he is unsure of his mind, he will discuss it with him.

After all, Feng Bicheng is also a filmmaker, and has made three movies, including experience, ability and insight. For the younger generation of domestic directors, he is definitely top-notch.

Moreover, the two have worked together on the "Big Star" crew, and Han Shunzhang knows his abilities very well.

It can even be said that in Minghu Culture, the person who knows Feng Bicheng the best and the person who has experienced the best rebirth and is Han Shunzhang.

The two cooperated very well.

This time, just like almost every time before, the two of them fell to the end.

When the two of them said goodbye to the studio managers, they finally walked out of the studio. It was already 7:30 and the sky outside was already dark.

After leaving the studio, both of them lit cigarettes, smoked cigarettes, chatted, and walked slowly towards the parking lot.

The Film and Television City has currently built two employee dormitories. One has arranged for the staff and set workers inside the Film and Television City to live in, which is a pure employee dormitory. The other is not low-profile. It is said that it is comparable to ordinary star hotels outside, and the interior decoration is also more practical. This employee dormitory is aimed at the staff filming here, including actors.

As long as the crew enters to film, the crew members can apply for a house for free during the filming period. The room fee will eventually be settled by the financial department of Minghu Culture and the management party of the film and television city, and in turn, the financial settlement with the crew will even be opened to the outside crew one after another.

Of course, the free ones available for the house are also double rooms. If you want to live in a more comfortable single room, you need to pay a portion of the money, and Minghu Culture and crew will not pay for this money.

Currently, the crew of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is the second crew to enter this film and television city after the crew of "The Matrix". "The Palace of Ming Dynasty" that came in not long ago is the third one. Many staff members of the two crews have chosen to move into the staff dormitory because it is indeed comfortable and convenient, so they don't need to run back.

But for Han Shunzhang, he felt that it was not too far away to go home, so Han Shunzhang would rather go home every day to live. His and Zhu Yu's children are over two years old this year. The little guy is very cute. He really wants to see him every day, even when he returns home, all he can see is him in his sleep.

But Feng Bicheng is different. He lives in the employee dormitory.

Walk along the road, there is a parking lot there, and not far away, there is a large restaurant inside.

Halfway through a cigarette, Feng Bicheng was about to say goodbye to Han Shunzhang and went to have dinner by himself. He turned the intersection, but suddenly found a person standing under the street light.

His eyes were good, and he could tell at a glance that it was Zheng Xiaoyue, who played Mu Nianci in the play.

A young girl who just graduated from the Performance Department of Songjiang Theater Academy last year, Zhou Zhiyu's junior sister, Han Shunzhang took a fancy to her at first sight and felt that she had a temperament that was both heroic and righteous, which was very suitable for Mu Nianci, and strongly recommended it to Li Qian. In the end, Li Qian agreed to his suggestion.

And this matter has been spread for some reason!

At this time, Feng Bicheng turned his head to look at Han Shunzhang, and he frowned.

This is not a new thing. Although the little girl hides it, the people who have been in the crew all year round have their eyes and golden eyes. If there is a little movement, they can immediately find out the taste. What's more, Zheng Xiaoyue has just filmed several movies and worked in several crews, and she is still very tender.

However, Han Shunzhang never took over her.

From Zheng Xiaoyue's perspective, this is actually quite normal.

She didn't even need to know anything else, just knowing that Han Shunzhang is the manager of Minghu Culture Film and Television Department is enough! As for Han Shunzhang, who is also one of the shareholders of Minghu Culture, is considered a hidden little rich man, and there is no need to mention those things.

Because if she understands it a little deeper, she will know that Han Shunzhang is currently the third person in the character sequence of Minghu Culture Film and Television Department, and Cao Zhan, who joins the animation department, is also the fourth person. Moreover, Cao Zhan is actually in charge of the animation department, while Jin Han is basically in charge of the affairs. Li Qian, the artistic director, has always been responsible for the general and the details, so Han Shunzhang, the big housekeeper, can actually be regarded as the first person in the film and television department.

Zhao He, himself, is a big director, but he is not enough to watch in front of him.

Like Xie Mingyuan is in charge of the music department, this is the person who really helps Li Qian take the helm in film and television.

And the problem is that Han Shunzhang is only in his early thirties. Not only is he already in a high position now, but his future is even more unlimited. He is not handsome, but he can be considered slightly handsome than ordinary men. He is not short, thin, and looks very energetic. In addition, he is calm and experienced in doing things, and he has some men's charm.

Such a character has the previous "Jian Ba's kindness" and "supporting kindness". Even if he has never deliberately teased her, it is really normal for a girl like Zheng Xiaoyue who has just come out of the world. This is better, and he should talk about a kind-hearted relationship.

If you say something wrong, maliciously guess: Who is not dating? Who is sleeping with? You are not sleeping with? There are many young actresses in China. It is too difficult to come forward. The best way is to find a "noble person" to help! Instead of finding an old man who looks awkward, in terms of strength, status, and power, they are not as good as Han Shunzhang, which is the young man. Why not seize the opportunity and take Han Shunzhang down!

If Zheng Xiaoyue thought so, Feng Bicheng would not be surprised at all!

In this era, money is king.

No one is worse than anyone else. Why does she get up in one drama? She has a film contract and an advertising endorsement. If you make money, I have to be willing to stick to poverty and stick to art? How bad am I worse than her? Isn’t it because she is “in love” with an important person?

And... what is the so-called art?

So, although she knew that Han Shunzhang already had a wife and children, and his wife Zhu Yu was a typical Li Qiandang herself was from the Shuntian Film Academy. She came with Han Shunzhang very early to assist Li Qian in establishing the film and television department of Minghu Culture. From the beginning to now, in addition to the more than a year of pregnancy and having children, she has always been the art director and costume designer of every play of Li Qian. She also created a clothing brand with Zhou Lao. She was not afraid of her relationship so good.

In fact, Feng Bicheng felt that, let alone the rise, she was not even likely to be a concubine, but the experience of struggling in the circle over the past years made him realize that girls nowadays are very brave!

He lowered his head and coughed, Feng Bicheng said, "What, Lao Han, I'll go to have dinner first!"

He paused and whispered before leaving: "Be careful."

Han Shunzhang nodded.

When Feng Bicheng went over first, he nodded and greeted Zheng Xiaoyue, who was standing alone under the street light. Then he walked slowly over. Not far in front of her, he deliberately kept walking, looking like hello was just a casual greeting, saying, "Wait for someone!"
