Chapter 1205 Routine Xiao Hua (1)
"It is foreseeable that the main box office market for "Mulan" is in Asia, and it is difficult for the United States to achieve impressive box office results. Can it break through 200 million? I think it will be difficult."
Donna Lange echoed, "Yeah, if there is a big hit in North America, it can drive the overseas market. Coupled with the local advantages of country Z, maybe you can make a small profit, but the possibility of a big hit in North America is really not good." big.
Similar to what we have analyzed before, perhaps Disney’s plan is to add a new theme to Disneyland in Country Z through the IP of "Mulan". "
Yang Cheng said rationally, "So my suggestion is to give up this investment. Disney didn't intend to share profits with others. If we pick out a piece of cake bluntly and fail to eat it in the end, then It’s not worth the candle.”
"Well, maybe when I called you, I made up my mind."
. . .
Hearing the busy tone from the mobile phone, Yang Cheng just turned around and found Luo Yue walking over with a knitted coat. Seeing Yang Cheng turned around and found it, Yang Cheng said helplessly, "It's getting cold at night, put it on~"
Yang Cheng's face was filled with happiness, but he didn't put it on himself when he took it, but put it on Luo Yue's shoulders, "I'm antifreeze~"
At this time, I don't know if White heard their words, and lit the fire for outdoor decoration. The fire light was reflected on the water, reflecting each other with the lights of the City of Angels, which was beautiful and romantic.
"It's the company's business again?" Luo Yue snuggled into Yang Cheng's arms and asked with concern.
"Yeah, Donna is not sure about the film company's affairs, and wants to hear my opinion."
Luo Yue tilted her head and said in admiration, "Donna is my idol~"
Yang Cheng laughed, "Do you also want to be a strong woman like her? Dedicated to the company every day except sleeping time."
Luo Yue pushed Yang Cheng hard, "It's just an idol, it doesn't mean I want to be like her~"
"I'll introduce you to another day. By the way, are you full?"
Yang Cheng turned around and saw the servant clearing the table, so he asked again.
"Almost, but I want to go out for a stroll. I can have some snacks on the way, what do you think?" Luo Yue's face was full of anticipation. Compared with the quiet night of Laucala Island, the night in Los Angeles has a different taste.
Yang Cheng pampered Luo Yue's little head,
"Listen to you~"
But friends who have been in Los Angeles for a long time know that after 10 o'clock in the evening, there is basically no food street to hang out. Most young people are either at a party or on the way to the party. If they are not real foodies, It's not necessarily possible to find a delicious 24-hour restaurant.
It just so happens that Yang Cheng is also a native of Los Angeles. He has eaten all over the West Coast, and he really doesn't have to worry about supper under his leadership.
Because he had just had a few glasses of wine, Yang Cheng didn't drive by himself, but asked Andrew to drive him and Luo Yue to Korea Town in a Rolls Royce.
It is one of the most lively places in Los Angeles at night. I don’t know why Koreans like bars and nightclubs more than Americans. Just like they like coffee far more than foreigners, it’s an incomprehensible strangeness. Does this make them superior to others? ?
Anyway, Yang Cheng and the others were just going to eat, and they were not going to go to the nightclub.
The restaurant he recommended was a snowy soup restaurant in Korea Town, which is open 24 hours and is well-known among the Chinese gluttons. Especially on weekends, the line would take half a day.
The name sounds very elegant, but to put it bluntly, it is beef bone broth, but the ingenious way of handling it has made it very popular in other places.
Undoubtedly, this shop was a place where Yang Cheng and his beloved woman often came to date.
Although flowers are not flowers and fog is not fog at this time, when Yang Cheng stood in front of the store, that beautiful memory still couldn't help but emerge in his mind.
The waiter pushed the door to welcome Yang Cheng and the two of them in. Yang Cheng withdrew his mind and smiled at Luo Yue, "Didn't you watch Korean dramas occasionally? You must have heard of snow soup, right?"
Luo Yue looked at the store curiously and nodded, "I know, but I haven't tried it, and it looks pretty good~"
There was a strong aroma of broth in the air in the store, which whetted the appetite. Luo Yue, who was 80% full just now, felt hungry again.
"The main traditional health-preserving snow thick soup here has been specially processed to remove the fishy smell, and it has been carefully stewed for more than 10 hours without adding any spices. The snow-white thick soup boiled with time is a bowl in this cool night. , happy like a fairy."
Luo Yue covered her mouth and smiled, quite disbelieving, "Is that an exaggeration?"
However, she soon admitted that Yang Cheng's words were not at all watery.
When the waiter brought the thick soup like milk, Luo Yue's eyes almost fell into the bowl, the cartilage was boiled into liquid, the meat was thick and smooth but not greasy, the taste and nutrition in the soup completely ooze out, rich Contains calcium, protein, gelatin and various nutritional essences, nourishing and beautifying.
Yang Cheng also ordered the super popular braised beef ribs in stone pot. The melt-in-your-mouth beef thigh is served with fragrant rice.
Luo Yue's taste buds were completely overwhelmed, and she completely forgot that she was a godlike horse when she tasted it, her face and bowl were almost glued together.
Yang Cheng was not too hungry, took a few bites and found that the taste was exactly the same as he remembered, so he put down his chopsticks. He believed that Luo Yue's black hole-like appetite was enough to clear the food on the table.
Maybe it was because the familiar smell brought back memories of the past, Yang Cheng felt quite sad, but it was not easy to show it in front of Luo Yue, so she took out her thin cigar and asked Luo Yue, "I'm going out to smoke a cigar, you Eat slowly, don't rush~"
Luo Yue didn't care about talking, she nodded and waved her hands, she had beef in her mouth, her eyes were fixed on the TV opposite, a Korean variety show about drinking snow soup was playing, she was fascinated by it.
Walking out of the restaurant with a wry smile, he lit a cigar by the side of the road and smoked it unhurriedly. Andrew leaned over, "Boss, why did you come out so soon?"
Yang Cheng shook his head, "It's nothing, by the way, you can go in and pack some later, and bring them back for the brothers to taste."
Upon hearing this, Andrew immediately went in to order food.
After coming back again, he hesitated, "Boss, that friend Thomas I went to investigate before."
Yang Cheng was startled, and immediately thought of it, "How is it? Is there a problem?"
Andrew smiled bitterly, "It shouldn't be a problem, but he was indeed bewitched by others. A comrade in arms when I joined the army lived in the same community as me when I was a child. It had nothing to do with me. I happened to meet in the army and learned about our relationship during the chat. From the same place, he quickly became a good friend, but once there was a conflict because of the hostage issue, he was kicked out of the army by his superiors, and there was a stain on the file, so he hated me.
I don't know where I learned that I am following you, the boss, so I encouraged Thomas to borrow money from me. "
Yang Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as someone didn't use Andrew's friends to plot against him, it would be fine, but it seemed that Andrew's friends were holding grudges, otherwise they wouldn't have deliberately revenged on Andrew through other people.
"How are you going to deal with it?"
Andrew was very embarrassed, "I don't know~"
Yang Cheng threw away the half-smoked cigar, "Let me give you a suggestion, just treat them as dead people."
Andrew stared with big eyes, "Boss, I don't understand~"
Yang Cheng was speechless, "You are no longer in the same world as them, there is absolutely no need to have entanglements, especially entanglements in terms of interests, just treat them as dead and do not exist, anyway you run around with me all day, it is impossible to get together Come to harass you right now."
Andrew's gray eyes brightened up.
Yang Cheng said again, "Of course, if you smile cruelly, you can find any excuse to send someone to prison, once and for all~"
This is a bad idea, not to mention Andrew wouldn't do it, even Yang Cheng couldn't agree, even though he came up with the idea, it doesn't mean it will be used, it's just nonsense.
"No, no, no, I can't do this, it will destroy them, unless they come to provoke me again." Andrew's righteous refusal was as expected by Yang Cheng.
"Okay, don't think about it, go pick up the car, let's go home."
. . .
The most lively event in North America these days is the NBA All-Star Game held in Toronto.
As the greatest star after Jordan, Kobe Bryant's last All-Star game is worthy of carnival across the United States.
Not to mention how crazy Kobe's fans are, those stars who want to take the opportunity to gain exposure are crazy. The location of the arena has already reached an average price of 20,000 US dollars. If you can get close to the players on both sides of the commentary booth, you can’t buy it without 50,000 US dollars. It can only be said that there are too many rich people in the United States.
So much so that Yang Cheng decided to go to the football game on the spur of the moment, but he couldn't get a ticket.
How to do? Looking for Xiao Hua, this bald donkey is trying to increase the exposure of the NBA in order to increase the income of the league. Don't you understand the flattery of the boss of the league?
Well, in fact, Xiao Hua really doesn't need to flatter anyone. As the president of the league, he can kill a team with a single sentence. Does he need to flatter the bosses?
Of course, he wouldn't be really stupid enough to go against these capitalists worth billions or tens of billions. He didn't think that his position as the president of the alliance was too strong, so he wanted to take the initiative to challenge it. . .
"Hey, Adam, it's me~"
Yang Cheng thought he had a good attitude, but it turned out that Xiao Hua was like a roundworm in his stomach. Before he could mention it, he had already guessed it, and blocked him with the words first, "Good morning Jason, everything is easy to say except for tickets ~"
Being blocked for a long time, Yang Cheng felt uncomfortable, and Luo Yue, who was still not fully awake, burst out laughing. Watching Yang Cheng suffer is much more interesting than watching variety shows.
With a black face, "Damn, is this how you treat your friends?"
Xiao Hua's recent routines are good, "As a friend, you shouldn't make it difficult for me. Do you know how many people have asked me for tickets so far?"
