Chapter 150 148 For Your Future
Chapter 150 For your future
"The Hudson Theater needs a new owner? What does that mean?"
Eric looked at Zhou Wenqiong aggressively.
Zhou Wenqiong also stared at him closely: "That's what I mean. The Hudson Theater has been poorly managed for a long time. After changing hands several times, it is still in a state of loss."
"Without the injection of funds, the theater will definitely collapse within one or two years. My boss has actually been interested in finding someone willing to take over."
After listening to Zhou Wenqiong's explanation, Eric asked curiously: "Why is the operating condition of the theater so bad? What is the reason?"
"If it is an irresistible factor, then it will be useless for anyone to take over. It will just be wasted money."
Zhou Wenqiong organized her words: "There are three main reasons. I think it is not a force majeure factor."
"First of all, the current owner is Mrs. Valens. Originally, the theater was run by her husband, but the year before last, Mr. Valens died in an accident, so the theater was under her name."
"It may be a bad thing to say, but Mrs. Valens is really not a very business-minded person. She really doesn't know much about business."
"Secondly, the equipment of the Hudson Theater is relatively old. The length of its history has given it weight and accumulation, and at the same time, it has become more aged and decayed."
"The tables, chairs, benches, interior decoration, electronic equipment, etc. in theaters are all relatively old now. Guests will not compromise their personal experience just because of your history."
"Then there is the variety of plays. The lack of funds means that the Hudson Theater cannot afford those popular plays, and the plays currently performed are relatively old."
"Although we are also trying new stage plays, we are even willing to support the creations of many newcomers for free, hoping to find a few pearls from them."
"But it turns out that not everyone is a master. Many newcomers are just hot-headed, and the plays they create cannot be staged at all."
"Over time, a vicious cycle has developed, and now the Hudson Theater is on the verge of bankruptcy."
"Mr. Eric, my sister and Feifei both say that you are a very capable person. Your vision and courage are second to none in the entire Hollywood."
"Wait, pause for a moment, don't put a high hat on me, Joan. Although compliments from beautiful women will be very helpful to men, but the prerequisite is that they are complimented without any purpose." Eric interrupted Zhou Wenqiong directly. of flattery.
"No, this is not a high hat. I just told the facts. I can decisively invest in China Mainland and establish Eastern MGM. This is something that the other six companies dare not do."
"Eric, you, a 22-year-old young man, took the lead and was the first to enter China. This is a reflection of your courage and vision."
"China has joined the WTO, and the economy there will soon take off, and the economic takeoff will inevitably lead to the prosperity of the film market.
"Perhaps in a few years, MGM, which dares to take the lead, will be able to enjoy this cake in advance."
"The same goes for the Hudson. What it lacked was money and resources, and MGM had them all."
"Now that Disney has New Amsterdam, why not MGM take the Hudson?"
"As one of the seven major film and television companies in Hollywood, I think there is no reason for MGM to be inferior to Disney."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Eric opened his mouth and laughed. This woman not only flattered him, but even used provocation.
But she is too anxious, her methods are not clever, and her purpose is too obvious. It is difficult not to make people suspect that she has ulterior motives.
"Eric, why are you laughing?" Liu Yifei asked with her eyes wide open.
"It's nothing, I just didn't expect that a chance encounter and a meal could lead to a business."
"Qiong, I don't understand one thing. Whether the theater goes bankrupt or not is a matter that the boss is concerned about. Why are you so concerned about it? Do you have any shares?"
Zhou Wenqiong shook her head: "No, it's just that I managed to get to this position with great difficulty. It is difficult for Chinese people to be promoted in the United States. I think you also know this, Eric."
"If there is only one purpose, it is to hope that after you take over the Hudson Theater, you will continue to hire me as the program director. There is nothing else."
Zhou Wenqiong's answer was not satisfactory, and there was still a fog surrounding Eric's heart.
Because there are hundreds of theaters on Broadway, if Zhou Wenqiong is really capable, she can definitely find another home even if she leaves the Hudson Theater.
After all, according to what she said, she managed to climb to this position, which means that she is very capable.
A truly capable person will never worry about the company going bankrupt.
Therefore, Zhou Wenqiong's explanation was somewhat contradictory and could not convince Eric anyway. His intuition told him that there must be something fishy in it.
There's no way this bitch has developed feelings for the theater, that would be too magical.
"Joan, your proposal is very good. Broadway is indeed an area that MGM is willing to enter, but buying a theater requires a large expense. This is not something I can decide on my own."
"Eric, there is actually no need to buy the theater completely. You can also choose to inject capital and become a shareholder of the Hudson Theater."
"Haha, it doesn't make sense if it's not a full controlling stake. MGM needs to seriously consider this matter before making a decision."
Perhaps realizing that she was too impatient, Zhou Wenqiong stopped insisting and changed her words: "How about this? You can send someone to the Hassend Theater to investigate and then judge whether it is worth it.
"no problem."
"Then I'll be waiting for you in Broadway!"
Seeing that the two had almost finished talking, Liu Xiaoli hurriedly said, "Okay, let's eat something first, otherwise it will get cold."
"You're right, Leonard's food is delicious, even Orientals can get used to it."
"It's expensive." Liu Yifei said with her tongue sticking out.
"It's expensive because of its privacy. Besides, you're a big star, do you still need this little money?"
"Of course I need money. Who said I'm a big star? My pay is very low."
"Bai Xiuzhu in "The Golden Age" made you famous all over the country. I remember you also had a "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils". This is not a big star, so what are other actors?" Eric continued to tease Liu Yifei.
"But Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils hasn't aired yet. I heard from the director that it will be aired in December this year, so it's still a long way to go before you become a big star."
"Then you're still traveling in the United States. The special period in China has ended, right? Why don't you hurry back to film?"
"You can't take any drama. My mom said that if you want to film, you should film influential ones, preferably with big directors and big productions."
"Yes, the dramas that come to Feifei now are not very good. We don't care about the pay, but the key is that the scripts are not good and the roles are not outstanding enough. Instead of wasting time filming these dramas, it's better to study hard. . "
"Eric, now Feifei and I have followed your advice and hired a martial arts teacher and a private performance instructor. We have practiced kung fu and will enter Hollywood in the future."
Liu Xiaoli raised her glass and said, "Come on, I'll toast you."
They each took a sip, and Liu Xiaoli continued, "I told you last time in New York that Feifei has been practicing for more than two months and now has a certain foundation. I wonder if you can give her a role?"
Hearing this, Eric was shocked. He was shocked that the other party really dared to make such a request.
Jackie Chan and Jet Li took 20 years to enter Hollywood, and you want to come in in two months. Is this a public toilet?
Liu Xiaoli added, "I don't mean to let Feifei be the leading actress. She is too young now and can't be the leading actress."
"Small roles and guest appearances are fine. We are willing to start from the bottom. Everything must have a beginning."
Eric nodded gently, thinking that you have self-knowledge.
His fingers tapped the table lightly, and each tap seemed to hit the hearts of Liu's mother and daughter.
After a while, Eric spoke up and said, "MGM's projects have all started filming during this period, and the roles are almost set."
"Let's do this. I'll look through the scripts after I go back. If there's a suitable one, it's okay to let Crystal play it."
Hearing this, Liu Xiaoli immediately laughed happily. I've caught you three times, and I've finally got something useful.
"Fei Fei, you toast Eric too."
"Forget it, Crystal is still young, so don't get involved in the drinking culture. This circle has already let too many people fall. I hope you won't be polluted by those bad habits."
"Well, I will!" Liu Yifei said heavily.
"Don't worry, I will definitely protect Fei Fei at all costs!"
The meal was eaten quickly and ended at around eight o'clock. Eric, who was a gentleman, called a car to take them back to the hotel, and then went home.
I was also tired all day, especially the big battle with the Olsen sisters in the morning, which consumed a lot of energy.
After taking a shower, Eric went to bed early.
When he woke up in the middle of the night because he had to pee, he took a look when he went to the bathroom and found a short message from Liu Xiaoli. The content was only a short line of words.
"We are staying at the Rupert Hotel. I will wait for you tonight."
However, the message was sent more than an hour ago. It is now past 1 o'clock in the morning. I don't know if this bitch is asleep or not.
Thinking of the bitch seducing him in the shopping mall, two rabbits and a big white sheep jumped around in Eric's mind again, making him a little imaginative.
I have been eating European and American food recently, and it is not bad to change the taste.
And after a good sleep, I have recovered a lot of energy, and it is no problem to play a night battle.
After thinking about it, Eric still sent a text message to Liu Xiaoli: "I just woke up, are you asleep?"
I didn't have much hope, but I didn't expect the message to come back soon, and it was still very brief.
"Tell me when you arrive."
"Damn, fight until dawn!"
After getting dressed and going downstairs, the health wine sent by Han Sanping has arrived, so I drink it first.
He took out the disgusting green liquid Sergei had given him from the refrigerator and drank another glass.
He turned around and walked out of the house and headed straight for the hotel. He arrived at his destination 20 minutes later, and his body was already hot.
Drinking the two liquids together, the energy was particularly fierce, which could be regarded as a combination of things.
The family doctor couldn't figure out the reason, and Eric went to the hospital for a special check-up. It was found that it did not affect his body, but made his sperm more vigorous.
The doctor at the hospital also didn't know the principle, but still advised him not to go too far, it was best not to do it more than twice a week, and to come to the hospital for regular check-ups.
He checked in and went straight to the fifth floor.
"514, come quickly!"
He sent a text message, and a moment later there was a knock on the door outside.
Dong Dong Dong...
Kacha!
The moment the knock on the door sounded, Eric, who was waiting at the door, pulled the handle open and pulled Liu Xiaoli in.
"Eric... Uh!"
Liu Xiaoli was pressed to the ground by a huge force before she could finish her sentence, and her legs fell directly to her knees.
A few minutes later, she pushed Eric away with all her strength, staring at him and cursing: "You bastard, can't you give me some preparation?"
"Is it so exaggerated?" Eric laughed.
"Rogue!"
Liu Xiaoli was so angry that she raised her hand to hit him, but she had little strength, and was immediately caught by Eric, who turned around and carried her into the bedroom.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, the woman was violently thrown on the bed.
At the same time, in another room, Zhou Wenqiong opened her eyes and looked at the door.
Although the noise of Liu Xiaoli's leaving just now was very small, it still woke her up. She just watched her cousin walk out of the room quietly.
A woman went out in the middle of the night, and she went out secretly, and it was likely that she would guess what she wanted to do.
Zhou Wenqiong was smart and immediately thought of Eric.
She got up from the bed and walked to the suite of Liu's mother and daughter next to her. She found Liu Yifei still sleeping soundly and shook her head helplessly.
"Alas! Feifei, you don't know that your mother is being taken advantage of for your future."
"But Eric Cooper is so handsome. From another perspective, it is your mother who has taken advantage. Maybe she is enjoying it."
At this time, seeing the mobile phone on the bedside, Zhou Wenqiong hesitated for a moment, but still walked over and picked it up gently.
After opening it, she quickly found those text messages, which also confirmed her guess.
Her cousin was indeed hooked up by that young guy.
"514, should I go and see?"
She muttered in her heart, turned her head and put this strange idea behind her, but another idea automatically generated.
"If my cousin can help Feifei get a good role by devoting herself to him, can we ask her to help?"
"Maybe if she just pleases him a few more times and MGM gives her some resources, she can really become the director of drama."
Zhou Wenqiong's mind was full of thoughts, and all kinds of ideas kept coming up and intertwining.
Today is coming to an end. The old lady is 92 years old, which is a happy funeral. I have been exhausted these days.
