Chapter 2399: Perfection Is only Possible with Planning

Cambridge, England.

This is typical London weather, with no sun but thick fog.

Owen and his team walked nervously on the road beside the River Cam.

This place is close to Cambridge University, and the new semester has just started. Those proud freshmen who are still curious about this place are running rampant on the road here. It is estimated that even the new Prime Minister Brown, who has just taken over, will be ignored by them.

But the boss insisted on taking a walk here, and he was with Marika.

Although there would be no consequences even if he was bumped by those students, it was naturally unacceptable to Owen and his team.

And because Feng Yiping was walking with Marika, they couldn't get too close... This should be the time when he felt the most pressure during this trip to Europe. Even in Italy, which is famous for the Mafia, he was not so nervous.

For them, the Mafia is really easier to deal with than these students, because the Mafia is relatively easy to predict.

Feng Yiping didn't understand Owen's worries at all. He saw those students who were originally proud of British style. When they approached, they often showed surprise or whistled when they saw the female companions beside them. This reminded him of his not-so-pure college life and made him a little proud.

For men, the level of the women who accompany him is often the best proof of his strength.

Marika, who was wearing a beige windbreaker, was a little helpless. For some reasons, when she went out with Feng Yiping, she dressed very conservatively. Under the windbreaker, she wore a very tight skirt.

However, just like a cone in a pocket, it will always stick out. No matter how well you wrap it, a good figure can never be covered.

"Do you like it here?" Feng Yiping asked, watching another guy walk in front of them and keep looking back.

"Yes, of course, except for the weather like now," Marika replied.

From the perspective of weather, Mumbai is indeed better than London.

"Many of our rich people choose to settle in London," she said.

Indeed, many wealthy people Feng Yiping met during his last trip to India chose to settle in London and hold weddings for their children. London is also the first choice.

Feng Yiping is puzzled by the attitude of the Indians towards the British, who have colonized them for nearly 200 years and bloodily suppressed many Indian resistances during this period.

Whether it is the upper class, elite class, or ordinary people in India, they all have a good impression of Britain after independence.

It seems that Marika is no exception.

"What about you, do you also want to settle in London?" Feng Yiping asked.

"Me?" Marika was a little surprised.

"Yes," Feng Yiping nodded. Just then, he saw a bar not far away, "Let's go sit down?"

"Okay,"

…………

At this time, the bar was dimly lit and sparsely populated. There were a few people sitting at the table in a daze. There were also two tables with two pairs of people who looked like students. They seemed to be still in the blending period, so they were particularly devoted and had no eyes for other people.

It was very suitable for Feng Yiping and Marika to sit down and chat.

"Thank you for your hard work in the previous promotion," Feng Yiping smiled and raised his glass to Marika.

"No, I should thank you and the company for giving me this opportunity," Marika smiled and gently clinked glasses with Feng Yiping.

The promotion of "The Long Way Home" in Europe has ended and will be released in Europe soon. Marika, who does not have many roles, participated in the promotion activities attended by the main creative staff including Nicole Kidman. For an actor like her who is not well-known internationally, this is undoubtedly a very good opportunity.

"There should be more opportunities in the future," Feng Yiping said, "According to my idea, in the future, in order to get more users to subscribe, Netflix will have to cooperate with some countries to produce TV series and movies that suit specific countries."

"Do you mean that Netflix will cooperate with Indian film companies to make films in the future?" Marika asked immediately.

"Yes, I think it should be like this,"

TV series and movies produced in the United States alone will definitely not meet the needs of users in other countries. For example, due to cultural and traditional reasons, TV series and movies that may be well received in the United States are just worth watching in India, but they are definitely not masterpieces.

Therefore, for Netflix, in order to improve user satisfaction, cooperating with various countries to produce film and television dramas in the future is undoubtedly a very pragmatic choice.

"That's great!" Marika said immediately.

She understood what Feng Yiping meant when he said this to her.

Feng Yiping's words naturally meant that in the future, at least in cooperating with India in film and television dramas, she has an advantage that other Indian actresses cannot match.

She certainly hopes to shine in Hollywood, but as an insider, she knows very well how slim the chances of success are for an actress like her who is neither white nor black in Hollywood.

The opportunities Feng Yiping mentioned are more realistic, and with the help of a global platform like Netflix, as long as she has outstanding works, she will have the opportunity to make her name known around the world.

"Thank you, Feng," she shook Feng Yiping's hand.

Feng Yiping pulled his hand out and patted the back of her hand, "This time, you have visited so many European countries. Which one do you like best?"

"For us, it should be France. You know, the French film industry is in a leading position in Europe, and France has so many fashion industries. Look at the ladies on the streets of Paris. Many of them are dressed like models... Marika gushed.

This does not surprise Feng Yiping, especially for many women, France is really very attractive.

"But, isn't there a saying that God also felt that France and Paris were too perfect for him to prefer too much, so he created the French,"

"Haha," Feng Yiping laughed. This can be said to be an old joke often used by Europeans to mock France. It comes from the folk proverb, "God created France that is too perfect, so he created imperfect French people." "

The proud Gallic rooster is indeed quite speechless sometimes.

“So, as far as Europe is concerned, I still like the UK the most,” Malika said.

Feng Yiping thought that this may be because India is deeply influenced by the British, so to a certain extent, they have the same culture.

"So, is it possible that you will choose to settle in Europe?" Feng Yiping asked again.

"Fon, I don't understand something," Marika said.

“From a purely return perspective, I also think that London properties, especially those scarce high-end properties, are well worth investing in,” Feng Yiping said.

"You want to buy property in London?" Marika asked.

"For some reasons, yes," Feng Yiping replied.

He wanted to buy property in the UK, and he seemed to want me to settle in the UK. Marika's eyes soon started to tremble.

Feng Yiping coughed and avoided Marika's scorching eyes, "That's it Marika. Although I am sure that Netflix will cooperate with local Indian film companies to produce film and television series in the future, but that will be three years later. , I can’t guarantee now that the plan will be launched five years from now, or even ten years from now,”

"In Hollywood, I will naturally try my best, but you know, Hollywood does not prepare many opportunities for minority actors,"

"And I also know how crucial three years is for an actor."

"It's okay, I can wait," Marika still looked at Feng Yiping with a smile.

"Marika..." Feng Yiping looked at her and sighed, "Actually, there are some things that you don't need to think too much about,"

"No," Marika smiled and shook her head, "That has nothing to do with you, it's just that I want to transform myself."

"You don't have to hide it in front of me, I know it all," Feng Yiping patted Marika's hand again.

"I really feel that I should transform," Marika said, lowering her head.

Through the company in India, Feng Yiping learned a lot about Malika's current situation.

Her current situation is that in the past two years, she has turned down most of her film contracts. For this reason, not only has her income dropped sharply, but she has also had irreconcilable conflicts with her agency.

Of course, in that matter, Feng Yiping finally asked Ratan Tata of the Tata Group to intervene and allowed Mallika to successfully terminate her contract with the brokerage company.

The reason why Marika did that was because she felt that the roles in those film contracts were not suitable.

No matter which country you are in, it is easy for an actor to have a fixed image because of a role that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. For example, those who play the role of the emperor will often receive film contracts to play the role of the emperor, and those who play the role of the villain will often receive the role of the villain. .

And Mallika was labeled a porn star by many Indian audiences because of her previous movie "The Grudge" - in fact, the scale of that movie was really not that big, but generally Indian movies only involve kissing. There can't be any shots.

Therefore, in the past two years, many of the roles she received were in coquettish roles, but she turned down all of them despite the objections of her agency.

Feng Yiping could naturally guess the reason.

Although under Feng Yiping's guidance, Marika personally made a lot of profits by investing in Apple and Google stocks, but even if she wanted to make a career purely on investment, she had to find a way to expand her principal. For Marika, It's best to increase your income by taking on roles.

But it is currently difficult for Marika to get rid of the label on her, and she obviously refuses such a role because of Feng Yiping, who cannot create many opportunities for her in the short term.

Frankly speaking, Feng Yiping knew that he must have failed some girls because he could not accept their affection, but no matter what, he had always been able to say with confidence that at least financially, he had not failed any girl. .

Whether it was Fang Yingzhi, Zheng Jiayi, Xiang Xiaofang... or Hu Junting, who was the first to write a love letter to him in school, as well as Wang Jinju, Wen Hong and other female classmates.

These girls have all achieved economic independence and even financial freedom because of the opportunities provided and created by Feng Yiping, coupled with their own efforts.

Therefore, he also does not want Marika to suffer financial losses due to his own reasons.

"Life is your own, and sometimes there is really no need to consider other people's opinions, including mine," Feng Yiping said.

Marika raised her head, her eyes a little red.

She believed that Feng Yiping should understand why he did what he did, so what did he mean by that?

"Would you like to see me continue in roles like that?" Mallika asked.

Feng Yiping was stunned for a moment. Is he willing? He shook his head, "Of course I don't want to,"

Malika's eyes lit up again. He didn't want to, but he understood me and cared about me!

"You are fully capable of challenging other characters," Feng Yiping said, "but if it seems difficult to do so now, then I think you can make other plans,"

"If you can, you can consider settling in the UK, and here, I can guarantee that you will have a good opportunity to become an independent and successful professional woman outside the entertainment industry,"

"Of course, this still depends on your personal wishes,"

Although India is really inferior to the UK at present, who can abandon their motherland so easily?

"In India, there will also be good opportunities," Feng Yiping said, "I am very interested in investing in India's education, which is actually to solve some of the worries of our employees in India. We will build high-end private schools for the children of those employees in Bangalore and Mumbai. Of course, these schools will also be open to Indian residents,"

"Are you interested in doing such work?"

No matter which country, those engaged in education will always be respected by people.

If Marika settles down for a few years, she will naturally wash away the inherent image of porn stars in the eyes of the people.

There will naturally be a professional team to do the specific work, and Marika can completely act as a supervisor, or if she is competent, she can also become an executor who is directly responsible to Feng Yiping.

"Feng, can I lean on you and think about it?" Marika said, and sat on the booth next to Feng Yiping.

At this time, she looked very happy.
