Hello, 1983

In the office of Chambers, the new CEO of Columbia Pictures, Liu Qingshan was sitting and chatting with Chambers.

Boss, thank you for your trust. Chambers poured a cup of coffee for Liu Qingshan himself.

Looking at the young and heroic face of the boss, Chambers was truly grateful.

From a small company owner that was about to go bankrupt, he turned into the president of one of the six major Hollywood studios, all of which seemed like a dream.

Chambers, this is the result of your hard work. Liu Qingshan gently stirred the coffee with a small spoon.

He also had the same trust in Chambers. The two met at Weimo and made Hurricane Film and Television bigger and stronger along the way.

As for Hurricane Film and Television, of course, it was also merged into Columbia Pictures and became the most important subsidiary.

Boss, Forrest Gump's movie, we're going to release it in three days, just, just... Chambers hesitated.

Is there any problem? Liu Qingshan stopped the movement of his hands.

Chambers crossed his hands and kept stirring: We invited some film critics and held a small film viewing party internally, and everyone's response was relatively average.

More than average, more than half of the film critics gave negative reviews, but Chambers was too embarrassed to say it in front of Liu Qingshan.

After all, this is a big production of the company, and the investment is quite large. Chambers is a little worried that this film will become the Waterloo of Hurricane Video.

If you use ancient Chinese allusions, it is equivalent to walking Maicheng.

Why? Liu Qingshan was a little puzzled. In his memory, Forrest Gump is a classic, and it has also earned 600 million box office in the world.

In the selection of the Oscars, he has also become the biggest winner, applauding and acclaiming.

Chambers pondered for a while, pointed to his own brain, and said euphemistically: The main reason is that everyone thinks that Forrest Gump's IQ is somewhat problematic. Using such a character as the representative of the American Dream will affect the image a bit.

In the movie, Forrest Gump's IQ is lower than that of ordinary people.

Liu Qingshan also fell into contemplation: it seems that foreigners are also more critical when choosing image spokespersons.

However, this will certainly not affect the film becoming a classic, and even more willing to accept it for the general public:

Even Forrest Gump can become a successful person, why can't I?

Before this broad consensus was reached, it was completely understandable that the film received some flak.

And maybe, you can also use this to make a fuss, for example, make a bet or something?

In Liu Qingshan's mind, the face of Looney Rockefeller appeared: Perhaps, they are desperate to find their way back, why not give them a chance?

The two were chatting, and there was a knock on the door, and then they saw Xiao Li rushing in with a rush of enthusiasm, and his mouth was whistling:

Oh, Liu, you are finally willing to see me!

Liu Qingshan gave him a hug with a bit of disgust: Don't be so nauseous, okay?

Xiao Li didn't care at all: Liu, we are in trouble. The outside world's comments on Forrest Gump's movie are not very good. Will it lose money this time?

The shooting cost of this film has reached more than 50 million yuan. As long as the box office exceeds 100 million yuan, it is possible to make a return, so Xiao Li's worry is not unreasonable.

A big company like Columbia Pictures, for example, makes about a dozen movies a year.

But if it can really sell well, it’s not bad if it can make a movie, and usually it’s not bad if it produces a movie that sells a lot in a few years.

Li, calm down. You look like your husband waiting outside the delivery room. You're too anxious.

Liu Qingshan teased,

Gradually, there was a plan in mind: Lee, Chambers, I think we need to hold a press conference to promote the movie Forrest Gump.

Chambers is a little confused: the publicity that should be done has already been done.

Or Xiao Li and Liu Qingshan have been together for a long time and have a better understanding of Chinese culture: Liu, do you think that you don't usually burn incense and are cramming?

There is progress. Liu Qingshan nodded, praising Xiao Li with only a wry smile on his face: You are the boss and you have the final say.

Chambers thought so too. He knew that Liu Qingshan was quite influential here, and maybe he could really play a certain role in publicity, so he deployed this matter.

At this time, Liu Yinfeng also came to hear the news. She took Liu Qingshan's hand and looked up and down first: It's a little tan.

Boys are not so delicate. Liu Qingshan smiled and comforted the second sister.

Liu Yinfeng also learned from the phone that the mother and the dumb grandfather formed a new family, but now that there are outsiders present, it is inconvenient to ask, so she reported to the official business.

Today's biggest investment is the plan on Maozi's side, involving billions of dollars.

Under the auspices of Liu Yinfeng, nearly 100 assistants were dispatched to Katyusha, which made the Katyusha business quickly spread in the Far East.

As for the acquisition of marketable bonds from ordinary people, it has just started.

Because the devaluation of bonds requires a process, in theory, it is the best time to wait until it becomes waste paper before purchasing it.

However, because Katyusha Firm stepped in and became a strong competitor, some changes have also occurred in this matter. The depreciation of bonds is not too serious now, and it still remains within a discount of one or two.

Don't stretch our hands too far, it's limited to Siberia and the Far East. The main target is the resources, oil and gas resources, and mineral resources here, which are the focus of our attention.

Liu Qingshan knows that Maozi's land area is too large, and no one wants to take it alone. It is the best choice for everyone to share the cake with harmony.

Xiao Li's family also participated in this incident and provided a lot of help, which allowed the Katyusha business to develop smoothly there and did not suffer from those out-of-the-box tricks.

Otherwise, the capital on the US side will definitely unite with the oligarchs on the Maozi side to jointly suppress it.

After chatting for a while on official business, Liu Qingshan took Li Tie and Vera and followed the second sister back to the apartment. As for Gao Lingfeng and others, Chambers was in charge of the arrangement.

Sitting in Liu Yinfeng's car, Liu Yinfeng couldn't wait to ask while driving, Sanfeng, is your family okay?

It's all good. Grandpa, grandma, grandpa, and their bodies are very strong. My mother and my master are also very harmonious. And the fourth and fifth, they all live happily.

Liu Qingshan gave a general introduction first, and Liu Yinfeng nodded with a relieved smile on his face.

Liu Qingshan sat in the passenger seat, looked at the second sister's delicate profile, and muttered: Sister, it's been many years in the United States, and you haven't found the right person yet?

Liu Yinfeng's face was slightly red: Don't interrupt, I'm driving.

Well, Liu Qingshan started chatting about family affairs again, and Liu Yinfeng listened carefully, not blaming her brother for affecting her driving.

Back at the second sister's apartment, Grace saw Liu Qingshan, and a sweet smile appeared on her face: The boss is here, my assistant finally has a job again.

Liu Qingshan waved his hand: I'm sorry, I have hired a new assistant now, this is Vera, Tie Zi's girlfriend.

Let me introduce Vera to everyone. As for Li Tie, they are all old acquaintances.

You stole my job. Grace took Vera's hand and looked very affectionate.

Liu Qingshan snorted: Wera, don't be deceived by her, she is the princess of the royal family, the one with the highest inheritance rights.

Grace showed a look of disappointment on her face: Since the boss has found a new assistant, then I should return to China.

In fact, Grace's studies ended last year, but she prefers the free life here, and she is reluctant to part with her friend Liu Yinfeng, so she discussed with her family and postponed it for another year.

But now, she has to go back to China because she has reached the age to talk about marriage.

Liu Qingshan also has a general understanding of Grace's situation: Grace, bless you, if you are really unhappy, you can come back at any time and continue to be my assistant, and I will definitely not deduct your salary.

Grace nodded: There are some things in her position that she can't decide by herself.

While enjoying the glory brought by the royal family, they also have their own responsibilities.

It's lucky and it's unfortunate.

This kind of thing is not easy to take on the bright side, so it passed by quickly, but Grace brought a surprise to Liu Qingshan:

She is also going to join Liu Qingshan's project and inject a billion dollars into it.

Obviously, Grace can't come up with so much money, she represents the family behind her.

Liu Qingshan was worried about not having enough money, of course, the more the better, so he obviously promised.

He stretched out his hand and shook hands with Grace: Congratulations, you are now promoted from assistant to partner.

Grace also joked with a smile: Liu, should we celebrate, I miss your cooking skills very much.

Liu Qingshan also followed suit, cooking in person and preparing a large table of dishes.

When Grace was eating a piece of crystal sweet and sour meat, she finally couldn't control the tears in her eyes.

If she was asked to choose, she believed in herself and would definitely choose Liu Qingshan as her partner, but there was no if in this world.

Of course Liu Yinfeng understood her friend's thoughts, but she also had no choice.

As for Liu Qingshan, he now has a beloved wife, and his wife is giving birth to their new life, so he will not cause trouble, let all this become the best memory in my heart.

After dinner, Liu Qingshan led Li Tie and Vera to his aunt's house, and Liu Yinfeng was still driving all the way to the villa.

cousin!

Du Jiaxing was coming back with a football and met at the door of the villa. The boy immediately threw the football excitedly, and then threw himself into Liu Qingshan's arms.

Children grow up fast, and Du Jiaxing is now on Liu Qingshan's shoulder.

If you play rugby, your body is not strong enough. Liu Qingshan rubbed his head.

I'm very good, because I know kung fu! Du Jiaxing flexed his arms and showed his muscles, basically the same as before.

After talking and laughing into the villa, Grandpa Du and Aunt Du were already standing at the door smiling.

That night, Liu Qingshan and the others lived here.

The next morning, Liu Qingshan went to attend Columbia Pictures' new film conference.

Dozens of reporters came, on the one hand to give the Columbia company a face, and on the other hand, they came to Liu Qingshan.

Mr. Mountain, who once made big news for them, of course the reporters were looking forward to it very much, because Mr. Mountain has never disappointed them.

At the press conference, Chambers first introduced the movie Forrest Gump, and then the main event came, and the reporters began to interview Liu Qingshan.

Mr. Mountain, you are very optimistic about this movie, but there is news that this movie is a bit unsatisfactory, so can you predict the box office?

Liu Qingshan smiled and nodded: This is one of the two major films released by Columbia Pictures this year. In terms of box office, of course there is no problem. In North America, it must exceed 200 million, and the global box office must exceed 500 million.

As he spoke, Liu Qingshan clenched his fists: Everyone only needs to remember one sentence in the future, Columbia products must be excellent.

It's really worth it!

The reporters all had smiles on their faces, as long as Mr. Mountain was interviewed, there was bound to be big news.

A movie with a box office of over 500 million is good for one or two a year, and most of them are action movies or big sci-fi productions.

A drama like Forrest Gump seems to be a bit difficult. I don't know where Mr. Mountain's confidence comes from?

So the reporters asked questions more enthusiastically, and finally made Liu Qingshan angry: If you don't believe me, gentlemen, I can bet with you!

The scene immediately fell silent, and then a reporter suddenly said, Mr. Mountain, it's a pity that I don't have 100 million dollars. Otherwise, I will definitely bet with you.

The reporters chuckled for a while, and this has become an allusion.

Liu Qingshan also smiled and spread his hands: Then you can invite me, I think someone wants to bet with me.

The reporters became more enthusiastic when they heard it, so they almost called them by name.

When they go back, they will definitely add more fuel to it, come up with a headline such as I don't agree to bet, and give the two sides a good fight, maybe there will be another big news.

The press conference ended successfully, and the reporters happily went back to spread the news. Looking at their enthusiasm, it was obvious that they didn't hold back any good farts.

Liu, you shouldn't give Looney and the others a chance to take revenge. Xiao Li was a little worried, he really didn't know what to do.

Liu Qingshan disagreed: If you don't understand the principle of scooping wool, you have to catch a sheep and scoop it vigorously.

Xiao Li cupped his long, slightly curly hair with his hands, and the roots of his hair seemed to feel a chill.

The next day, when Liu Qingshan went to the Earth Network to inspect, he finally saw some kind of response in the newspaper.

When the reporters deliberately made fire, Looney Rockefeller finally couldn't help speaking:

Since some people are arrogant, we don't mind giving him a lesson.

When Liu Qingshan saw the news, he couldn't help shaking his head slightly: Young man, I can't help myself.

The president of EarthNet, Adrian, looked at the young boss, his lips twitched for a long time, and finally he couldn't help it:

Boss, the situation is a little bad. The stock of our Earth Network has been falling recently, and it is far worse than Cisco's. The bet between you and Professor Merton is already in an extremely unfavorable situation.

Of course, Adrian has reason to worry: Boss, is there too many lice and it doesn't itch?
