    When Shen Chong came to Boston, he didn't just bring Li Kaiyuan to meet his elders. He also had other things to do. There is a movie line that goes well - where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.  After the "Beautiful Island" incident broke out, Taiwanese immigrants and overseas students in the United States were divided into several groups. Some supported the Kuomintang, some supported "Beautiful Island", some supported reunification, and some supported self-reliance Demons and monsters appeared one after another,  In Los Angeles on the West Coast, the person who attracted the most attention was Xu Xinliang, the president of "Beautiful Island" magazine. When the incident broke out, he happened to be on vacation in the United States and escaped jail. He was a relatively staunch unificationist, so Shen Chong  He was not stingy with sponsorship, and supported him in re-launching "Beautiful Island" in Los Angeles. Of course, the sponsorship was in the name of a leather foundation, and the method was very secretive.  In Boston on the east coast, the person who attracted the most attention from Shen Chong was Ma Jiuying. At this time, he was studying for a PhD at Harvard University and working part-time as the editor-in-chief of the "Boston Bulletin", a publication with an official background of the Kuomintang. The butt determines the head.  Ma Jiuying, as a second-generation official, naturally supported the Kuomintang government in publications and criticized "Beautiful Island". Because of his good writing, he successfully attracted the attention of the highest level in Taiwan and laid the foundation for his future entry into the political arena.  Ma Jiuying's background, education, abilities, charm, and interpersonal relationships are all in abundance. Regardless of whether he can still sit in the so-called "presidential" position in the future, he is a very worthy talent. Moreover, for a cross-party party, it is difficult to train Ma Jiuying.  Empress, is a very interesting thing, more interesting than training a hundred beauties. Finding Ma Jiuying is not difficult at all for Shen Chong - his wife is Zhang Aijia's elementary school classmate, she can get it done with just one phone call, and then host a banquet.  After several conversations, they quickly became closer to each other.  Boston is home to prestigious schools and has a strong cultural atmosphere. In addition to Ma Jiuying, there are also many outstanding Chinese media practitioners. The Chinese news magazine that Shen Chong is preparing is in need of such talents.  After staying in Boston for a week, Shen Chong boarded the flight with satisfaction - not to Hong Kong, but to Japan.  "Mr. Shen, Mr. Li." Zeng Lizhen put down the welcome sign in her hand, stepped forward and greeted with a smile: "Sister Tianbao, can I help you carry your luggage?" "Sister Zhen, you don't have to worry about her." Zeng Lizhen is Shen Chong.  Li Kaiyuan naturally knew the earliest secretary. She smiled and said: "There are only a few toys in her bag, which are very light." "Yes, sister, they are very light." With her sister present, Tianbao has always been very well-behaved.  He held up the cartoon bag he bought from Disneyland and said, "I can handle it." After getting into the car, on the way to the hotel, Shen Chong asked, "Sister Zhen, how was the conversation with Momoe Yamaguchi?" "Mr. Shen  , I was just about to report to you.  Zeng Lizhen drove the car and said: "Momoe Yamaguchi herself has no objections, but her agency is too difficult to deal with."  " "Sister Zhen.  "Tianbao is a star-chaser. She leaned on the back of the chair in the front row and asked excitedly: "Do you know Yamaguchi Momoe?  Can you take me to see her?  "Tianbao, don't interrupt, Sister Zhen is talking about business."  "Li Kaiyuan pulled her back to the seat and warned: "How many times have I told you not to lie down like this? It was like this last time. My head was broken and I still don't have a long memory." "Sister, Momoe Yamaguchi.  "Ignoring the lesson, Tianbao took her hand and said coquettishly: "When we watched "Blood Doubt" together, you liked her very much. How about we go take a photo with her?  " "Don't worry, she will go to Hong Kong to film in a while. Then you can take any group photos you want.  Shen Chong rubbed her head dotingly and asked, "What did her economic company say?"  " "They are asking for a salary of 3 million U.S. dollars, and we are responsible for the food and accommodation expenses of Yamaguchi Momoe's assistant, makeup artist, and nanny.  "Zeng Lizhen was full of resentment. She complained: "Not only Yamaguchi Momoe, but also the entourage must stay in a five-star hotel, have a separate rest room on the set, work no more than 2 hours a day, and a lot of other conditions.  , so annoying.  Mr. Shen, how about you transfer me back and let someone else negotiate?  " Shen Chong laughed twice and said: "It was your suggestion to let Yamaguchi Momoe play the heroine of "Die Hard". If you are not responsible, who is?  "Mr. Shen, other conditions can be considered."  Seeing that there was no hope of replacing him, Zeng Lizhen asked, "But with the salary of US$3 million, can you agree to it?"  " "You can weigh this yourself, I don't care.  Shen Chong crossed his arms and said: "I have delegated the budget of "Die Hard" to your production department. How to spend it, I won't interfere. Besides, this is not your first time as a producer."  , there should be a bill in mind.  " "Compared with "Die Hard", the movies I made before were all about kids playing house.  Zeng Lizhen said helplessly: "The total cost of those dramas was less than US$3 million."  If I gave her $3 million and lost money after the movie was released, I would have to jump into the sea.  " "It's not that serious.  Shen Chong smiled and said, "Even if you lose, it's me who loses, not you."  ¡±   "Mr. Shen, I have been with you the longest in the company. If things go wrong, how can I survive?" At this time, there was a heavy traffic jam. Zeng Lizhen parked the car at the tail of the long queue, then turned around and said  "Mr. Shen, please save me. Or, Mr. Li, can you give me some advice? I'm going to die." "I don't understand movies, you have to ask him." Li Kaiyuan smiled and said, "  Ah Chong is always like this. He starts everything with words and then goes off to do other things, regardless of whether his subordinates live or die. "I have so many things to do, how can I take care of them?" Shen Chong said helplessly.  Said: "Gary Kurtz is the executive producer, what did he say?" "He said that he had just come to the East and didn't know the market of Japanese actors, so he let me make my own decision." "He didn't tell you that in Hollywood, it is determined  "Is there a procedure for actors' remuneration?" "Say, it is determined based on the actor's market influence and the movie's predicted box office." Zeng Lizhen also smiled bitterly, and explained in detail: "Yamaguchi Momoe is very popular and is the number one in Japan."  National Idol, according to the information provided by Fei Xiaodie, we predict that if she plays the heroine of "Die Hard", the box office in Japan should be between UU00,000 and 10,000,000 U.S. dollars. Her previous salary was less than  It's profitable to ask her to act in a movie if it reaches 1 million US dollars. Now it's 3 million US dollars. After the box office is divided, we will lose a fortune." After saying that, she clasped her hands and begged: "Mr. Shen, please do it.  , help me." Shen Chong glanced at the endless traffic, and then said with a smile: "Okay, for the sake of your loyalty, I will reluctantly teach you a trick." "  Brother-in-law, you are so shameless." Before Tianbao finished speaking, he was slapped by Li Kaiyuan. She immediately changed her words and said, "Brother-in-law, you are so handsome." There was laughter in the car.  "Momoe Yamaguchi is very popular." After laughing, Shen Chong said: "Then her advertising fees must not be cheap, and there must be many companies looking for her to advertise, right?" Zeng Lizhen nodded.  "It's not that simple." Shen Chong said: "You take the movie proposal of "Die Hard", find a few advertising companies, ask them to sponsor and pay the remuneration, and then we will be in the movie  , give some shots of Yamaguchi Momoe using their products." Zeng Lizhen was thoughtful, and Li Kaiyuan asked in surprise: "Is this okay?" "Of course it is," Shen Chong said as an example: "For example, your toy company.  , paid 100,000 yuan for the film, then I will put a Rubik's Cube on Yamaguchi Momoe's desk in the movie. If you paid 500,000 yuan, then I will give her a scene of playing the Rubik's Cube in the movie. If you  If you paid 1 million, I not only let her play the Rubik's Cube, but I also asked her to say one or two lines related to the Rubik's Cube. If you paid 3 million, I not only let her say the lines, but I also set the Rubik's Cube to be the key to electricity.  "We have the producers of "Star Wars", a professional special effects team from Hollywood, the explosion scene of the tallest building in Asia, a Japanese national idol, an investment of up to 10UU, and it will be launched on a large scale in Japan and the United States.  Released." Shen Chong twitched his fingers and said: "With so many gimmicks, the market influence will definitely not be low. The advertising effect is better than that of TV stations and covers more groups. Do you think those companies are interested at this time?  , the marketing technique of built-in advertising in movies cannot be said to be nonexistent, but even in Hollywood, it is only done occasionally and is not systematic. Therefore, Shen Chong's words made Zeng Lizhen suddenly enlightened. She fell to the ground in admiration and said with joy: "Mr. Shen, you  It¡¯s so awesome, he is truly the reincarnation of the God of Wealth.¡± Shen Chong just smiled at this and said, ¡°I suggest you find two or three companies. Any more will ruin the plot of the movie. It¡¯s best to choose multinational clothing, beverages, and electrical appliances.  Such trendy brands are easy to include in movies, and their annual advertising budgets are very high, so they are easy to talk to, such as Coca-Cola, Sony, and Panasonic.  She took out a pen and paper and said, "I'll write it down first and start talking to them tomorrow." Shen Chong waited until she finished writing her experience before continuing: "Sister Zhen, you don't blame me for demoting you, do you?" "How can I?"  "Zeng Lizhen said quickly: "After following Mr. Kurtz, I realized how bad I was at the beginning. I can still stay in the company now because of the opportunity given to me by Mr. Shen. " "Sister Zhen, you are too humble.  "Zeng Lizhen is a direct descendant, so Shen Chong didn't hide it from her and said, "Kurz is a foreigner and he won't be here for a long time. Follow him and learn more about management, etc.  "Die Hard" is finished, I will give you the independent production, and after he leaves, you will be the manager of the production department. " "Of course, if Sister Zhen has herself.  Shen Chong said with a smile: "Tell me in advance, I will support it." "Mr. Shen is joking." Zeng Lizhen immediately expressed her loyalty and said, "Unless Mr. Shen drives me away, I will."  Won¡¯t leave.¡±Baowu's big eyes rolled around, and he suddenly said: "A person who is born is his brother-in-law, and a person who dies is his brother-in-law's ghost." Note: I was afraid of sensitive words, so I changed the order of Ma Niangniang's names.
