"For so many years, we have been paving the way for you to enter Hollywood!"

"In order to promote you as the number one brother, the company will not hesitate to suppress the development of Sanmao and Abiao, which will lead to the two of them being disunited from the company."

"What Lin can give you, Jiahe can give you."

"If you want, we'll invest $80 million in you now, and everything is according to Hollywood standards, how about it?"

In the late night of the Repulse Bay mansion, there was only a floor lamp on in the empty living room, and the light was dim. Cheng Long sat alone on the sofa and his godfather He Guanchang's words echoed in his mind.

Yes, Jiawei and his godfather have treated him well for so many years.

All the treatments are the best, and you will always respond to your requests. The "Flying Eagle Plan" exceeded tens of millions, and his godfather and Zou Sheng still supported him strongly.

Thinking of the past years of experience, Cheng Long's heart was full of contradictions.

"Ding bee bee bee bee bee!"

The big brother ringing on the coffee table rang, which was particularly harsh in the empty living room. Cheng Long had a premonition in his heart.

He answered the phone.

"Hello!"

"Aaron, it's me!"

Cai Lan's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I know." Cheng Long's voice.

"How are you thinking about it?"

After a moment of silence, Cheng Long suppressed the irritability in his heart, "Godfather and Zou Sheng have treated me well over the years."

"Along, it's not that I'm sowing the disagreement. Isn't what you said "not thin" based on the fact that you made a lot of money for Jiahe?

Which boss is not opening a company to make money? When it comes to talking about money, you are already forty years old.

You won't even believe such nonsense, do you?"

Cai Lan's voice revealed contempt, and Cheng Long felt a little dissatisfied for some reason.

He defended: "Making money is making money, but there are also favors. The Flying Eagle Plan has exceeded tens of millions.

My godfather and Zou Sheng didn’t blame me, and the company was responsible for the losses."

"I remember you told me that if it weren't for the 'three' producer arranged by Jiahe, the "Flying Eagle Plan" would not have exceeded so much. There were also a lot of confusing accounts during the filming.

If it weren't for that producer, the film from "Flying Eagle Project" would not have been lost!

I remember you told He Sheng later that this company is "with you or not"?

What was the result? Didn’t she do a good job in Jiahe?

Also, can you direct the movie yourself now?"

In 1990, Cheng Long filmed "The Flying Eagle Plan", and the filming spanned three continents of Asia, Europe and Africa. During this period, the crew problems occurred frequently, and twists and turns, eventually resulting in overspending of HK$40 million.

Although Jiawei failed to hold Cheng Long accountable afterwards, he was deprived of his qualifications for independent directorship.

"The Flying Eagle Project" eventually spent HK$115 million, becoming the most expensive movie in Hong Kong that era.

Cheng Long changed the phone, "Where is Sanmao and Abiao, the company abandoned them for my development."

"Along, why are you still so naive? Sanmao is because his stuff is outdated. "The Rich Train" and "Oriental Vulture" have failed continuously, and the company has lost money.

You are different. Even if "Miracle" performs poorly in the local area and "Flying Eagle Plan" is suppressed by Stephen Chow, your box office in other places still makes money for the company.

As for A Biao, don’t you understand the principle that one mountain cannot withstand two tigers?"

Cheng Long asked back: "Then I went to Lin's family, aren't it a mountain or two tigers?"

Cai Lan chuckled, "Along, what is the size of Jiahe? What is the size of Lin's family?"

His questions made Cheng Long silent.

Last year was the most glorious year for Hong Kong movies in the past 20 years, with box office revenue of HK$1.24 billion.

Overseas box office revenue was HK$2.97 billion, setting a total box office miracle of HK$4.21 billion.

This result looks brilliant, but in fact, of the box office of HK$4.2 billion, HK$2.58 billion was created by a film company in Lin's Pictures.

In comparison, Jiahe's box office of HK$610 million is only 1/4 of Lin's.

This year, Lin's first year, will have a series of overseas big-selling movies such as "The Battle of Red Cliff", "Saw" and "Black Man". The distance between the two sides will probably further widen the gap. Cheng Long couldn't help but think of this gap.

Jiahe felt desperate. Now the Lin family is like a giant, and can only look up to it.

Seeing that Cheng Long stopped talking, Cai Lan did not give him time to think and continued to pursue the victory.

"I asked you to deliberately make ambiguous words. Zou Sheng and He Sheng should be very anxious now. They promised you a lot of conditions. You can compare the conditions they gave with those of our Lin family.

I don't need to say anything, everything is clear at a glance."

Listening to Cai Lan's words, Cheng Long's heart sank again.

A few hours ago in Jiahe, my godfather promised to invest $80 million in him to live in Hollywood, but this is not a movie, but the budget for three movies.

With Jiahe’s current financial level, this has almost exhausted its assets.

Lin's condition was to invest $50 million to tailor a large-scale action film at Holy A-picture level for him, with a pay of $5 million.

If the global box office exceeds US$150 million, he will also enjoy a 2% dividend in the first round of the world. This dividend ratio increases with the increase of box office, up to 4%.

In the following two years, a movie was invested no less than US$30 million a year, and Xu Chenglong also added a self-organized company to participate in the investment.

Without mentioning the differences between total investment, all the conditions proposed by Lin are much better than those of good and poor.

Cheng Long’s current salary in Jiahe is only 2 million US dollars, so the dividends are even more incomparable.

Conservatively estimated that his income from filming a movie at least doubled. If the movie was sold globally and could get dividends, it would be impossible for a movie to get tens of millions of dollars.

"Aaron, you should see the report from Ming Pao. The box office of "Black Man" exceeded 30 million US dollars in the first week of its release in the United States, and is expected to exceed 100 million US dollars.

If estimated based on previous experience, the global box office will be at least 150 million US dollars.

Although "The Black Man" has only been released for more than a week, it has made him the most eye-catching action star in Hollywood this year.

You know better than anyone else what Ajie's film performed in the past. If you replace this person with you,

I think the box office can increase by another $50 million—"

Cai Lan's words were like a demonic sound, stirring Cheng Long's already fragile nerves.

People are afraid of comparison, especially when compared with people who were not as good as themselves and now surpass themselves.

Since Jet Li rose to the Xiangjiang film industry with a movie called "The Legend of the Concern", media have always compared the two together. Cheng Long has always laughed at these public opinions.

Because he knew that no matter how you compare it, Jet Li was not his opponent. His movies could be sold in Europe and the United States. Can Jet Li do it?

This is the biggest gap between the two and it is also the confidence that Cheng Long has been proud of for many years.

But now, a movie called "Black Man" has broken all Cheng Long's pride.

He couldn't help but follow Cai Lan's words and think about it. If he had obtained Jet Li's current resources, what would the box office of the movie be?

"Aaron, Lin's current expansion in the United States is now in a massive position and it is a rare opportunity.

Now that the business in the United States is getting better and better, it will not be so easy to get this ship if you miss it."

At the end, Cai Lan said meaningfully, making Cheng Long clench his hands holding the phone.

Early the next morning, in Villa No. 75, Deepwater Bay.

Tao Yumo walked out of the bedroom yawning. She went to the United States last week and arrived home last night. She still felt in poor spirits after taking a break.

"Come and have a meal." Tao Yushu greeted her.

Tao Yumo sat on the restaurant seat and stopped Adi from serving her rice, "I'll take it slow first."

She opened the newspaper that Tao Yushu had just put down, saw the news in the Ta Kung Pao, and sighed and said, "What a pity! I lost to Sydney."

The Ta Kung Pao reported on the selection of the host city of the 27th Modern Olympic Games early this morning.

At 5:45 pm on September 23, the voting for the hosting of the 27th Olympic Games began, Berlin, Sydney,

Manchester, Yanjing, Istanbul and other cities compete on the same stage.

Voting adopts a multi-round elimination system. If a city in the first round of voting receives more than half of the votes, it will be determined as the host city. Otherwise, the last running city will be eliminated one round after another until the host city is finally decided.

Among the first three rounds of voting, Yanjing won 32 votes in the first round, 37 votes in the second round, and 40 in the third round

All tickets are ranked first, and anyone who sees the qualification to host has been firmly won.

But in the fourth round of voting, a dramatic scene appeared.

In the last round of voting, Yanjing won 43 votes and Sydney won 45 votes.

Yanjing missed the qualification to host this Olympic Games by a difference of two votes.

Tao Yumo's tone was full of regret, "I have delayed this term and have to wait for the next term."

"It's not the next session, it's the next session, the 29th session." Tao Yushu corrected her.

According to the rules and procedures of the International Olympic Organizing Committee, the bidding cycle for the Olympic Games is eight years. I missed the 2000 Olympic Games and could only wait for the 29th session in 2008.
