    The three father and son chatted very late, and communicated in detail what had happened recently and what they would do in the future. No one can know everything and have omnipotence, and neither did Li Zhengxi. He needed the opinions of his father and eldest brother to wake him up and make him  Grasp the future direction more clearly.  =????????? He didn¡¯t go to bed until after two in the morning, but the next morning, Lee Chung-hee had to get up early because he had to talk to CBS about cooperating in a TV series.  CBS, Columbia Pictures, and Columbia Records are not the same thing. The former was acquired by Viacom¡¯s Redondo, while the latter two belong to Sony.  CBS currently ranks second among all television stations in the United States. The first is NBC, and the third is ABC. As for Fox and others, they are still very weak.  CBS is divided into a broadcast department, a television network, a direct-operated television station and a news department. Today, the person negotiating with Lee Chung-hee cannot be the famous Bob Wright, the president of CBS, but the deputy director in charge of the television network.  Melissa, President.  Melissa, the newly appointed vice president, for Li Zhengxi, who knew the future, understood that this strong and cold woman would be Bob Wright's first successor.  She is just over forty years old, full of energy, and her face is rosy, but she is not that good-looking. The freckles on her nose especially ruin her face. But this is not a person who gets around in Hollywood based on her looks, but purely on her abilities.  .  Wearing a neutral suit, not wearing a skirt, but wearing trousers, but when he saw Li Zhengxi, his stern face relaxed a little.  Smiling and shaking hands proactively.  No matter the identity.  Still talent.  Li Zhengxi is not a weaker person than her. A woman with such a strong character respects the strong the most.  "Sorry, I'm a little late," Melissa smiled lightly. Li Zhengxi politely pulled out the chair with her and replied with a smile: "I just arrived too!" It was only one minute before the agreed time, and the other party  She is a lady after all.  He didn't mean to blame.  "I've heard about your style, which is said to be very straightforward," Melissa said after thanking Li Zhengxi for his gentlemanly gesture of helping him pull out his chair, "I'm also a very cheerful person, so I think we can directly  "Yes!" "Of course," since she wanted to be direct, Li Zhengxi told her to be direct, and smiled when she motioned for him to speak first.  "I wonder if Ms. Melissa has heard of what I did in Korea at the beginning, which was a betting agreement!" "Of course." Melissa nodded politely, "I wonder if you have any good suggestions this time.  " "It's very simple. "Two and a Half Men" has a minimum guarantee of 13 million, for the 18-49 age range, and a minimum guarantee of 8%. On the basis of this guarantee, I want 8 million US dollars per episode, and then, for every additional 1 million viewers, and  The range of 18-49 exceeds one percentage point, I want to add 1 million episodes" According to the latest statistics, there are 112,800,000 TV users in the United States this year, and 1% means 1,128,000.  But it should be noted that under normal circumstances there must be more than one person in each household.  At the same time, statistical results show that there are 131,050,000 adult TV users (18-49 years old) in the United States this year, and 1% represents 1,310,500 people.  ??If the number of viewers exceeds 10 million, it is an excellent drama. If the number of viewers reaches 1,200-1,300, and if the audience reaches 8% in the 18-49 age range, it is a very good drama.  Generally speaking, 10 million US dollars per episode for such a TV series is not expensive, but Lee Chung-hee only costs 8 million. Of course, this 8 million does not include overseas copyrights, and now, the overseas copyrights of American TV series are beyond the plane.  The second largest exporter.  So, Melissa frowned and said, "What if the full copyright is bought out?" "Twenty million," Li Zhengxi replied without hesitation, full copyright is equivalent to buying out everything, that  The income is huge, especially for a good drama, which can be sold to countless homes for n years.  "It's too expensive," Melissa said without hesitation, but Li Zhengxi smiled slightly, "If I said 25 million per episode, Ms. Melissa would think 20 million is very cheap!" This thing,  It's just a bargaining process. Now the two of them are just talking about their intentions, and Melissa already has the intention to cooperate as soon as they meet, so that's pretty much it.  Of course, the reason why Melissa is optimistic about "Two and a Half Men" is because CBS was previously a major player in related dramas, such as "Everybody Loves Raymond" and the now hugely popular "Friends".  In short, they have seen the glorious future related to "Two and a Half Men". Of course, it is not just them, including NBC and ABC. They have already been moved. After intensive contact with Li Wenxi, this is what Melissa will take the initiative.  The reason for meeting with Lee Chung-hee.  Since they have an intention, the two of them are not in a hurry to settle down., there was a stalemate in front of them, Melissa chatted with Li Zhengxi about the positioning of the show, the shooting style and the future direction. Li Zhengxi did not hesitate to tell him his future thoughts, including the second season, third season and so on.  After chatting for a long time, Melissa suddenly said to Li Zhengxi: "What if we all cooperate, we all cooperate in shooting." Li Zhengxi smiled, "Of course, but I believe you are only talking about shooting, not sharing.  Your advertising revenue!" Melissa raised her eyebrows. It's naturally impossible for Lee Chung Hee to want to cooperate with NBC. This is not South Korea. South Korea can, but American TV operators will not let production companies join the broadcast.  of interests.  CBS has been on a downward trend in recent years, especially in the 18-49 age range. According to statistics, in the past two years, the average age of CBS viewers has been 55 years old.  The American television industry refers to those aged 18-49 as adult viewers, those under 18 as young viewers, and those aged 50 and above as senior viewers. Among them, the ratings of adult viewers represent consumption power. The ratings of this age group  The higher the rate, the more expensive the advertising sponsorship fee will be.  If it reaches eight percent.  That's about $1 million every 30 seconds.  Even more.  This is also the reason why Li Zhengxi had the confidence to make conditions with Melissa.  Moreover, this is only the first step. In the future, when the ratings of "Two and a Half Men" rise, he will continue to increase the price for the second and third seasons. Therefore, it is useless to give a low price of 8 million now.  No.  In short.  Everything will come back.  The topic was almost done, and both of them were straightforward people. Next came the specific negotiations and detailed communication. It was almost noon when the two of them had another meal, and this time the meeting ended.  There is still no result, of course it is not a waste of time, both sides will know better, and then.  There is no need for them to talk about it in detail for the rest of the discussion.  Of course, Empire Pictures is not just talking to CBS.  If it doesn't work here, NBC and ABC are still negotiating on a first-come, first-served basis. However, CBS took the initiative to ask to see Lee Chung-hee.  Things in New York were almost done. In the afternoon, Li Zhengxi met with Tony and Duncan, as well as Facebook executives. After discussing related topics, he left New York at around 9 p.m. and took a plane to Los Angeles.  After almost seven hours, I slept for a while on the plane. It was still early morning when I arrived in Los Angeles. Here, Li Wenxi came to pick up the plane. However, when Li Zhengxi and Li Wenxi walked out of the airport and walked to the parking lot, they heard someone shouting.  he.  "Vincent," the crisp voice sounded very comfortable. Then, when Li Zhengxi turned his head, he saw a man wearing a big black coat, an equally black furry scarf around his neck, and a  A fluffy beige beanie hat with oversized black eyes.  In short, she almost covered her face, as if she was afraid that others would not know that she needed to remain mysterious.  However, Li Zhengxi easily recognized that it was Katy Perry. Li Wenxi was stunned for a moment, not sure whether he recognized it or not. Then he chuckled and patted Li Zhengxi's arm, "Okay, I won't bother you this time."  You, if you can't get up before noon, let's have dinner!" Then, he got into the car and waved to Katy Perry before getting in the car.  Lee Jung-hee didn't show any pretense at this time. He first got into Katy Perry's new silver Porsche, and then the two of them hugged each other and kissed passionately. If the space in the car wasn't too small, they would have directly shifted into gear.  .  But even so, her temples were messy, her clothes were wrinkled, Katy Perry's jade-like pink face was red, her mouth was slightly open, and she was breathing quickly, looking particularly charming and unprovoked.  "Why are you here?" Li Zhengxi's hand asked for warmth in her arms, as if it was too big again, and he was afraid that both hands could not grasp it. It was smooth, soft and elastic, and it was particularly comfortable.  Katy Perry kneaded him until her whole body was soft, and her round buttocks couldn't help but twist on him. Her eyes were almost dripping with water when she stared at him, and she bit his lips affectionately and kissed him again.  , then said: "Didn't I call you yesterday? You told me about the flight in the evening, and then, I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so I came here to wait for you, but I didn't dare to go to the pick-up hall for fear of being recognized!" "  It's not easy to recognize you dressed up like this, but everyone can definitely guess that you are basically a star or something." Li Zhengxi smiled and patted her face. He still had no experience, or no experience in sneaking out to play.  I thought it would be enough to cover my face, but that would make it easier to expose Xingzang.  "I miss you!" Katy Perry said suddenly, her eyes were soft, and her voice was so boring that it made people's hearts skip a beat, which made Li Zhengxi feel a little guilty. He had never thought of the beauty in front of him.People.  Not only because he is busy, but also because there are too many people who need him to think about. Of course, coaxing words are always needed, even if it is a lie, you have to say, "I miss you too, baby!" This is a bit watery,  Katy Perry probably also understood, pouting slightly dissatisfied, but he took the opportunity to bite her, and then settled the matter with a deep kiss.  Then, he quickly went home and returned to the villa on the beach. To be honest, Lee Jung Hee was quite nervous. He was afraid that Scarlett Johansson would be hiding in the villa like Katy Perry. Fortunately, she was filming, so there was no  I was lazy and asked for leave to come back.  So, although the two of them didn¡¯t go to the garage, a place where things often happen, when they got upstairs and made sure no one was around, Lee Jung Hee and Katy Perry started to get entangled like crazy.  When it was daybreak, the two of them lay exhausted on the bed, with Katy Perry still tightly wrapped around Lee Jung Hee.  The snow-white body was lightly pink.  Spasming.  Panting lightly, Qianbai's fingers rubbed his lips, and murmured: "I almost killed you" Seeing him smiling smugly, she pecked his lips again,  She shyly whispered: "But it's so comfortable, better than before!" This is undoubtedly the biggest compliment to a man. Li Zhengxi caressed her body gently.  Said: "When will the album be ready?" "I don't know, it's still in post-production," Katy Perry pouted, but immediately became excited again, "But Madonna and the others said it's great, and they can even let me pursue it.  "Britney," she giggled again, "Madonna said she was jealous and said she would definitely let you write a song for her next time!" Her new album.  It itself includes some of the super hits that Britney later released in "Pop Forbidden" in 2003, plus some of her own later ones.  It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a golden song.  Such an album will naturally make her a top-notch teenage star. It is not impossible to catch up with Britney. After all, Britney became famous in the past two or three years.  "You don't know," Lee Jung Hee frowned slightly, "Madonna didn't tell you about the album's release status!" "Ah, yes," Katy Perry said confusedly, "It will be at the end of March or April.  The second title track will be released at the beginning of the month, and then the album will be officially released in May, when the summer vacation comes!¡± ¡°Then you still say you don¡¯t know,¡± Lee Jung Hee laughed dumbly.  But Katy Perry pouted and hit him with dissatisfaction, "You just asked me when the album will be ready. I really don't know that, and it's not my business!" Li Zhengxi smiled, but that's right,  What's more, the singer only records the song according to the company's arrangements, but the mixing and other matters after the recording have nothing to do with the singer. The mix is ??whatever it is, and the singer has to follow the instructions.  Of course, this only refers to ordinary singers, those super big names, such as Madonna, Michael Jackson, etc., they will participate in all album production processes, even including distribution.  However, although the Katy Perry in front of me is already popular, she is not qualified yet.  "Do you think I can win the Best Newcomer Award next year?" Katy Perry asked him again. Although Lee Jung Hee is not old, Katy Perry is even younger. Besides, Lee Jung Hee's achievements are too outstanding. These days, Kai  Tipery naturally became dependent on him, even more obedient than Madonna.  Best New Artist. When Katy Perry released the single "ikissagirl" last year, many media said that she would be the favorite for the Grammy Award for Best New Artist this year. However, the irony is that even the popularity failed.  None, because Katy Perry didn't even get the nomination she received more than a month ago.  Madonna unceremoniously satirized some people, "I don't know who else in Hollywood had better results than Katy Perry last year. Well, even if we don't talk about results, when it comes to rap skills and dance music performances, she is very good."  No, I just think this is a conspiracy. Some shameless guys don¡¯t want Katie to be the most dazzling person. They are suppressing her" Li Zhengxi was much calmer, "Suppression, is that what Madonna said?  I don¡¯t believe what you said, but regardless of whether I win an award or not, there should be a nomination. I think this is not just my opinion. You media reporters and fans should all agree. As for why such a result occurred, then  You have to ask the Grammy judges, they should have a more professional and detailed answer" "If Katy Perry's performance was not good, or the media did not boast so much, she would not have such high hopes.  , according to her own words, it is already a great thing to be able to release a single album. She is only seventeen years old.  "However, after being praised so much, there was nothing. It was like dust falling from the sky. The feeling was really uncomfortable. Therefore, during that period of time,?Pretty low.  "Best Newcomer is nothing," Li Zhengxi smiled and patted her round butt, "Best Song of the Year, Best Female Pop Singer of the Year, Best Album of the Year, etc., I think you have hope," Look at her  Hiding a smile but with disbelieving eyes, he said seriously: "Really, your album will definitely amaze everyone, and then those bastards will never dare to ignore you again, and you will completely conquer them!  " "I feel so happy to hear you brag," Katy Perry giggled, wrapping her arms around his neck and lying in his arms.  Use your white fingers to draw small circles on his chest.  Then he said faintly: "I'm actually not that rare about awards. At least I like this more than you writing songs for me." "Then I promise that I will keep writing songs for you in the future," Li Zhengxi was very happy at this time.  It was a big promise that was made clearly.  Sure enough, this power was not ordinary. Katy Perry stood up slightly from him in an instant, with the most thrilling joy and love in her eyes.  Then he lay down again, hugged his neck, gently pecked his face, nose, and lips, and murmured: "It's over, I really fall in love with you!" Then, love  While the fire was burning, she indulged in indulgence with him again.  At noon, Katy Perry was still sleeping in the villa.  Li Zhengxi went out early to see Li Wenxi.  There is also Andy Robin, who is responsible for developing the Android system. Although he and Andy Robin have chatted on the phone several times, this was the first time they actually met face to face.  Li Zhengxi doesn¡¯t know much about technical matters, but his optimism about the Android system and the popularity of Facebook made Andy Robin think that Li Zhengxi is a very good boss.  He is a person who focuses on technology and does not care much about power and wealth. What a person like him hopes most is to find a Bole who has a keen eye and knows people, and Li Zhengxi is the one in front of him.  We talked a lot, especially about the future development of smartphones, which were not technology-related topics. Lee Chung-hee also has a PhD in economics. The two of them found common ground and chatted very well.  It was also during this meeting that Andy Robin truly felt at ease.  It was not until dinner that Lee Jung Hee and Andy Robin separated. Next, he went to the crew preparation center of "Pirates of the Caribbean".  Originally, Lee Chung-hee planned to shoot in 20th Century Fox Film Company¡¯s huge water tank in Baja California, Mexico, but 20th Century Fox Film Company made it conditional on cooperation, which finally annoyed him.  He also thought that the effect of shooting in the water tank would not be as good as the real scene, so he simply chose another shooting location.  ¡°In this way, the preparation of the stills is not in Mexico, but right here in Los Angeles.  Everyone has been found, including gold medal producer Bruckheimer, assistant directors Susan, Ronacles, and chief cinematographer Wosky and others. These are all crew members in the original "Pirates of the Caribbean" and the final ones.  Important personnel.  "The director is only one part of the success of a movie. He is like a helmsman, controlling the direction of the ship, but it is all the crew members who drive the ship.  Lee Chung-hee knows very well where the ship of "Pirates of the Caribbean" should go and how it should be shot. So, as a guy who knows some director skills, it is enough to be a director. He will arrange for the assistant directors and others to do specific and minor things.  This gives "Pirates of the Caribbean" a good start and a premise for success.  For the crew, this is not the first time Lee Jung Hee has met. He found everyone last year. However, as a super drama, the preparation time is very long, and he will not always care about small things.  Now that I¡¯m here, I just want to take a look at the preparations. It¡¯s basically complete. It can be said that I just have to wait for him to come. The effect is very good, even a little beyond his imagination.  That may also be because he gave the greatest degree of freedom, allowing everyone to perform at a better level and achieve better results now.  While watching and praising, at almost nine o'clock, when he was chatting with the assistant director Susan about a scene, his cell phone suddenly rang.  "Vincent, you bastard!" After the call was connected, it was a woman's sharp scream. The sound was so loud that Susan even heard a little bit, but she was very smart. She just glanced at Li Zhengxi and pretended not to hear it.  , turned his head.  Although Susan is a woman, her abilities are no worse than those of men. She is not yet forty years old this year. Although she is not beautiful, she is still good-looking.  When she heard it, Li Zhengxi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. It was Scarlett Johansson's voice, and the voice came from inside the room. Thinking about it, it was obvious that she had skipped work again and came back.  Then, seeing how angry she was, she should be at the beach.At the villa, Katy Perry apparently hasn't left yet.  It's really the first and the second. Fortunately, his brother Li Wenxi is no longer there, otherwise he would have to be insulted. But at this time, Scarlett Johansson over there shouted again: "Come back, immediately, immediately, otherwise  I'm not done with you!" "What are you doing? You should separate when you see your love rivals. Why are you still trying to strangle them?" Li Zhengxi muttered in his heart and replied: "Okay, I understand."  He didn't say any other comforting words, and it was useless to say it at this time. However, after he hung up the phone, he did not go back immediately, but continued to chat with Susan about what had just been split.  After finishing the chat, he continued another conversation for almost half an hour. It was almost eleven o'clock before he said goodbye and went home.  Just as he left the house, the phone rang again, and it was still Scarlett Johansson's. He was alert, and without waiting for someone to speak, he quickly said: "There's a traffic jam, it will take a while, but it's going to be soon!" "Humph," Scarlett said.  Johnson snorted coldly, but didn't say anything more to him, and hung up the phone again. However, judging by her tone, it was obvious that she was not as angry anymore. It wasn't that she wasn't angry anymore, but she wasn't as irritable as before.  No matter what you say, things are troublesome anyway, because Katy Perry has been silent and has no reaction, but it is obvious that she is still there.  They probably won't admit defeat, neither of them will, but it must be the first time they met, oh, the second time, the first time was at the Alderwood Country Club, and that time they fooled around with him.  Late, but probably not very mature.  Although they are not very familiar, they should be considered acquaintances. What is the current situation, what do they want, or what do they want him to do, this is what Li Zhengxi has to consider.  It¡¯s true that people cannot enjoy the blessings of being together. Well, not counting Ha Ji-won and Son Ye-jin, the two of them are like sisters. That¡¯s because of the relationship they have cultivated by living together, and because they have a common enemy, Kim Tae-hee.  .  "You can't ask for it too much. In other words, sympathy for each other brings them closer."  But Scarlett Johansson and Katy Perry are different. They probably think that although this guy has a girlfriend in South Korea, in the United States, it's just them. Not only do they want to monopolize it, they also plan to steal Lee Jung Hee from Kim Tae Hee.  .  Such a mentality naturally creates an imbalance. Although at the beginning, Scarlett Johansson just said that she was playing games, and Katy Perry even said that he did not need to be responsible. If she fell in love with the other person, her psychology would naturally be different.  "Love," Li Zhengxi smiled helplessly. If he didn't care at all, he could ruthlessly expose everything and treat it as a dream, or really a game. It ends tonight.  But, can he? He doesn¡¯t have such a hard heart at all. After thinking about it, he originally planned to call Katy Perry and ask her to leave first, but that would break her heart.  She did that just because she didn¡¯t want to leave, so Li Zhengxi could only smile bitterly again, looking at the villa that had appeared in front of him, and was about to turn in, but out of the corner of his eye, he noticed someone following the car.  Then, an idea flashed in his head, and he remembered that he had seen this car before, and it seemed that he had been following it for a while. So, he didn't understand why, so he just walked forward and continued driving.  At this time, Scarlett Johansson stopped calling and sent a text message, saying, "I'll give you three minutes. If you don't show up, you're dead!" Li Zhengxi reluctantly answered the phone and said with a wry smile: "Auntie,  I was already at the door. I didn¡¯t dare to come up because there were paparazzi following me. I lied to you that I was a puppy" With a puff, Scarlett Johansson seemed to smile. Obviously, she still chose to believe him. That was considered  It was a good sign. Of course, Li Zhengxi didn't panic in front of her, which was the biggest reason why she believed in him  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
