What is a small shrimp eating a big whale?

"Twilight" is it!

The cost is 37 million US dollars, which is considered a B-level movie in Hollywood.

It’s not that major studios don’t like B-movies, but that major studios don’t like teen movies like “Twilight.”

Nowadays, Hollywood is in the era of big IP, and youth books like "Twilight" are not on the table.

But this year's "Twilight" has taught all major studios a lesson.

It took in US$35.87 million at the box office on its first day of release on Friday, and expanded to 3,419 theaters in its first week, earning US$70.55 million.

James Bond was not happy for a few days when his record was broken by a group of 20-year-old vampires.

The success of "Twilight" was expected by Cheng Yu'an. Bob was yelling on the phone, but Cheng Yu'an didn't listen.

"G, you are such a magical oriental!" Bob kept praising Cheng Yu'an on the phone for her sharp eyesight.

Everyone was not optimistic about "Twilight", but he was the only one to win it.

"How's the second part of "The Twilight Saga" going?" Cheng Yu'an asked.

"We are already working on the script and will start shooting in March next year." Bob added, "g, Universal wants to get involved in the second part of The Twilight Saga."

After "Twilight" exploded, Hollywood has focused on this piece of meat.

Cheng Yu'an knew that he could not monopolize the cake and had to share the cake. This was also a very important point in doing business: "There is no problem in cooperation, but we must ensure our own profits."

"I understand this." Bob is, after all, a very competent professional manager.

When the news of "Twilight" spread back to China, there was little reaction from the audience.

After all, no one is interested in a foreign vampire movie.

But in the industry, from the General Administration to China Film to Huayi, Guangxian, Pony and other private enterprises, everyone marveled at Cheng Yuan's sharp vision and decisive actions.

"What a guy! "Iron Man" was crushed by him, as was "Kung Fu Panda", and now he can even make a bloody vampire romance movie."

"His investment accounted for more than 30% of both "Iron Man" and "Kung Fu Panda". "Twilight" is an exclusive project of his company. He will receive at least 100 million US dollars for each movie. How much money does he have!"

The same question also came from my girlfriend.

Liu Yifei was now sitting astride Cheng Yuan's lap, threatening: "Say! How much money do you have!"

"I have no idea."

"You still say you don't know!" Liu Yifei slapped Cheng Yu'an on the thigh, "If you confess, you will be lenient, if you resist, you will be stern! Say it!"

"I really don't know! Don't you know the money in my bankbook and credit card?"

"Who asked you about those millions? I mean you still get dividends from the shares of several companies!"

"I really don't know this!" Cheng Yu'an really doesn't know! In the first two years, he would still calculate how much money he had, and then look at the profits and feel silly. Later, as he fluctuated in the stock markets of the two countries, especially when the financial crisis broke out this year, he

After using his spare money to buy some stocks, he didn't even know how much money he had.

As for the company's dividends and movie accounts, some went into the company's public account, and some went into Cheng Yu'an's personal account. A sum was paid every three to five months. Cheng Yu'an looked at it once a year, and then forget about it.

"You really don't know?" Liu Yifei stared at him.

"I don't know." Cheng Yu'an shook his head honestly.

Seeing that Cheng Yu'an didn't look like he was lying to her, Liu Yifei let him go.

She got off her body, leaned on his chest, took his hand, and asked: "Do you blame me for asking you this? After all, we have only been together for half a year. I understand if you don't tell me how much money you have."

"Why do you blame me? When two people are together, there is no way to clearly calculate the property." In terms of property, Cheng Yu'an had no intention of hiding it from Liu Yifei. He said he didn't know because he really didn't know. He hugged his girlfriend and said to her

There was a mark on his forehead, "Anyway, what's mine is yours."

"Well! What's mine is also yours." Liu Yifei also smiled.

The atmosphere was originally quite warm, but Cheng Yuan insisted on being mean: "What do you have?"

Liu Yifei thought for a while, brought a change of clothes and daily toiletries and moved into Cheng Yu'an's house. There seemed to be nothing of hers in this house.

But Liu Yifei is so smart. She said: "I didn't buy the clothes in your wardrobe for you? I bought all the underwear and socks. Which of the watches in the cabinet below is less than 100,000? There is a Mercedes-Benz in the garage and a

Lincoln. In order to buy these things for you, I lost all my personal money."

"I don't say those two cars are good, but I get angry when you mention them." Cheng Yu'an laughed angrily, "Please avoid the reporters when you buy such big items in the future. After you visit the 4S store in the morning, you can go to the 4S store in the afternoon.

The license plates of those two cars were exposed as soon as they left the 4S store, and I didn’t even dare to drive out.”

"I see you drive that old Xiali all day long, so I want to buy you a new car. Who would have thought that this could be photographed by reporters." Liu Yifei felt very embarrassed when talking about this.

So I secretly decided to dress more appropriately next time when I go shopping.

In fact, Cheng Yu'an is not short of cars. The company has equipped him with a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle, and the brand will also give him cars.

But perhaps out of habit or out of shame, the car Cheng Yuan drove the most was the old Xiali.

The two of them got tired of each other for a while, and then Cheng Yu'an went out alone.

As the end of the year approaches, he gets busier and busier. He has to keep an eye on the preparations for "The Wind", he also needs to take care of some internal management affairs of the company, and he is also indispensable for some external social events.

No, he is going to attend the Producers Guild's year-end meeting in the afternoon.

In fact, this meeting should be attended by Cheng Lingfeng or Guo Fei. They are usually the names of company film producers.

However, Han Sanping, chairman of the association, asked Cheng Yuan to attend the meeting.

"Director Cheng, long time no see."

"Director Cheng, how is the new movie? If you need help, just let me know."

"Director Cheng, how about we have a cup of tea together after the meeting?"

As soon as he arrived at the venue, Cheng Yu'an was surrounded, as if he was rushing around, one person left and another one came.

Cheng Yu'an couldn't even cope with it.

Finally, Director Han came forward and said that the meeting was about to begin and asked everyone to be quiet.

This meeting was quite long and boring.

First, I reviewed the achievements of the past year, and of course, pointed out some problems. Then I made preparations for the upcoming Lunar New Year. Finally, I looked forward to next year. Finally, I also asked you what good opinions or suggestions you have in the future.

If you encounter any difficulties, you must actively respond to the association, and the association will solve it for everyone.

Finally it ended and everyone went to the dinner.

"Director Cheng." Wang Zhonglei stepped forward to talk, "I never thought that Director Cheng could have such good results in Hollywood. It's really enviable."

"It's just good luck to pick up things that others don't want." That's how it goes.

Isn't it true that "Twilight" was just about the eight unnecessary things that I took advantage of?

"Luck is also a kind of strength." Wang Zhonglei smiled and got to the point, "Is Director Cheng still working on any projects in the United States?"

When I asked about the project, I found out that the ongoing projects of a major film company are all public. Cheng Yu'an said: ""District 9" and "Fake Marriage" have been completed and are scheduled to be released next year. Now the company is mainly working on two TV series.

.”

"What about movies?" Wang Zhonglei was not interested in Cheng Yu'an's TV drama business in the United States.

"There is a movie in preparation, but it is currently under confidentiality. Don't be offended, Mr. Wang." The preparations for "Inception" were not going very smoothly.

Wang Zhonglei is very proud: "No matter what movie Director Cheng is preparing, I, Huayi, are willing to provide 20 million US dollars to help Director Cheng."

Send money?

Cheng Yu'an could just send Wang Zhonglei away with a bad movie and make 20 million in vain.

But things are not that simple. Huayi is seeking to go public. If Huayi is allowed to ride on Cheng Yuan's car, he can use this matter to make a fuss in the capital market!

By then 20 million will be worth a hair, will he still care?
Chapter completed!
