What?
Huaxin brothers?
What company is this?
this……
Are you sure this is a Hollywood company?
How come I haven’t heard of it?
This is the first time that most netizens have heard of this company.
After seeing this title, they expressed confusion.
They found that they could no longer understand Lu Yuan's operations.
Why did he reject a big company like Paimon and sign with a small, unknown company called Huaxin in Hollywood?
So netizens started searching for this company, and after seeing the two movies produced by this company, their expressions became even weirder.
The two films are called "Pink Birdman" and "The Last of Us".
These two movies have never been released in China and are not very famous, but the box office data of these two movies can be found.
With an investment of more than 10 million US dollars, the total box office revenue was 5 million...
This is simply a box office success that has gone to waste. According to some online news reports, Huaxin Brothers has encountered a huge change and the entire company is on the verge of bankruptcy...
It can be seen that Huaxin Brothers' boss Forrest came to China this time with a do-or-die attitude, and his intention is very clear, which is to hope to make a comeback with this "This Man From Earth".
But the question is, can you turn over?
Although you have some channels, you have no liquid funds and no fame in Hollywood. What can you do?
You can't do anything. Even if you are given a good movie, you can't achieve any results!
Many people in the industry who are keen on analysis are quite pessimistic about the company's prospects.
They thought the company was doomed to fail.
At the same time, netizens were also speechless about Lu Yuan.
Netizens can even imagine a scene, that is, Huaxin Brothers' boss, Forrest, must have sold everything he had to raise more than 3 million yuan to come to Lu Kouzi, and Lu Kouzi made a brief comparison, hey...
He thinks the price is high, okay!
Then I rejected Paimon and found such a thing...
The scene was so beautiful that no one could imagine it.
Why don't you look for him?
If your film "This Man From Earth" fails miserably in overseas markets, it will be difficult for you to expand overseas markets for your next film...
You care too much about immediate interests.
Directors Zhang Tong, Zhou Yi and Li You all sought out Lu Yuan for a talk almost immediately after seeing the news.
They asked Lu Yuan why he didn't discuss this matter with them. They said that in addition to Paimon, they had other resources in Hollywood, and they could completely license "The Man From Earth" to other companies. In any case, it was better than this Huaxin brothers, right?
Zhang and others mean well.
In fact, after hearing the news of Lu Yuan's refusal, they called Lu Yuan and hinted that they could help if Lu Yuan needed it.
Lu Yuan was naturally grateful to them from the bottom of his heart, but Lu Yuan did not intend to cooperate with other Hollywood companies. He felt that even if he met with other Hollywood companies, no one would offer a higher price than Paimon, and this was also a favor...
Lu Yuan doesn't like to owe favors to others.
The matter has come to this point and the die is cast. These directors could only sigh and say something like Lu Yuan was too impulsive.
After expressing their feelings, they didn’t know what to say. After all, they were not Lu Yuan and did not have the right to make choices for Lu Yuan.
It’s late at night.
The acquisition issue took almost the entire day. There were many contracts that needed to be signed, many details that needed to be changed, and of course there were some company assets, the company's internal situation, and the general path forward that Furuis discussed with Lu Yuan for a long time...
When night fell, Forrest took the contract and left the company with mixed feelings.
Lu Yuan was very straightforward.
The $1.3 million was deposited into his account after he signed the contract and completed a series of procedures.
He is still the legal representative of the company and the person in charge, but Lu Yuan has become the largest shareholder of the company, and he only holds 15% of the shares and US$1.3 million.
Oh, and there’s also a sample clip of This Man From Earth.
Forrest has mixed emotions...
The global agency contract he had brought with him was completely torn into pieces and thrown into the trash can.
What is the use of this contract?
The company is owned by someone else now, what's the point of having this contract?
What happened today was completely beyond his expectations.
Everything he had thought about and everything he had planned to talk about with Lu Yuan were also scrapped.
He never dreamed that what was originally a discussion of cooperation had instantly turned into a discussion of acquisition, and that he seemed to have gained an advantage in the acquisition, but in fact...
He seemed to have sold himself out.
Giving himself the shares seemed like a good thing, but in fact, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it seemed!
Damn Lu Yuan, it seems like he has tied myself to the company with his shares. I'm afraid I'll have to work for this guy for the next few decades.
Total defeat!
It was a complete failure.
When I left the company, I looked up at the sky silently.
He doesn't know what his future will be like, nor does he know how much the box office of "This Man From Earth" will be...
but……
At least Lu Yuan promised that he would give him a good script after the release of "This Man From Earth", at least not worse than "This Man From Earth", and if the "remote" branch in the United States needs any help in the future, Lu Yuan will also help.
etc!
"Remote" branch in the United States...
The contract states that the name will not be changed within three years. Can you please not call me that?
Can't you respect me a little?
…
"Life is like a ruthless knife
Changed our appearance
Will it wither before it blooms?
I had a dream…”
Lu Yuan was sitting in the office and opened the Internet, then he heard the song "Old Boy" sung by himself.
He felt that the song he sang was very emotional, with both vicissitudes of life and a hint of sorrow.
When he heard this line of lyrics, Lu Yuan stood up and walked to the mirror to look at himself...
I have some beard on my chin, dark circles around my eyes, and my hair is messy. I look a little unkempt, like an artist...
This seems to have a decadent and melancholy temperament combined.
In fact, he felt that he looked quite good, much better than those messy young hunks.
What a man.
Why be so handsome?
You don’t rely on your looks to make a living, right?
After looking for a long time, I became a little narcissistic, praised myself, and then looked at the bright moon outside the window.
He recalled his experiences from last year to now.
He originally wanted to take some money and then return to his hometown to open a restaurant, but unexpectedly he started a company and made several movies. Although there were some ups and downs in the middle, he was considered successful compared to others.
Of course, along with the joy of making money, he also felt some pressure.
If you buy a house in Hangzhou, you need money for decoration and various furniture, and this money is tens of millions...
The box office performance of "This Man From Earth" is indeed explosive. If it can reach 300 million, I can get at least 70 million after excluding miscellaneous items.
70 million...
The decoration cost 10 or 20 million yuan, and after adding some necessary expenses, I probably have 40 million yuan in working capital.
Forty million may seem like a huge sum, but in reality, if Hollywood is operating, it is still a drop in the bucket, unless every one of his movies is blessed by God and can become a hit...
The gaming company is quite stable, with a net profit of several hundred thousand RMB a month, which is self-sufficient. However, if we really want to spend money to make those really big online games, the investment will be at least hundreds of millions of RMB...
These are all invisible pressures.
He sighed slightly when he thought of this.
"Mr. Lu, what's wrong with you?" Wu Tingting came in to pour coffee and shook her head after hearing Lu Yuan's sigh.
"Everyone has an initial dream." Lu Yuan showed a slight smile on his face.
"The original dream?"
"Well, I once had a dream..." Lu Yuan took the time to chew a piece of gum, his voice full of sadness and vicissitudes.
"What dream?" Wu Tingting had never seen Lu Yuan with such an expression before.
dream?
Lu Yuan had never talked about his dreams with her or them.
What is Mr. Lu’s dream?
It’s more like an ambition than a dream, right?
After Wu Tingting thought about Lu Yuan’s acquisition today, she felt that Lu Yuan already had a very clear plan for the future.
I have begun to prepare step by step to realize my ambitions.
"I want to be a chef, purely, a chef who can bring joy to people!" Lu Yuan closed his eyes and sighed.
"..." Wu Tingting almost spilled the kettle due to a slight error in her balance.
He never thought that Lu Yuan would say this.
A chef's dream?
this……
This gap is quite big...
When Wu Tingting thought of the dishes Lu Yuan cooked, she felt that Lu Yuan’s dream was just a dream.
"I didn't actually want to make a movie, or start a company, or acquire a gaming company, or write songs, or play the piano, or even be a screenwriter... In fact, my original dream was just to open a restaurant, have everyone come to eat my cooking, enjoy my cooking skills, and then praise my skills, and then in their free time, have a bunch of old customers sit down and chat with me about life, and the future... Can you feel the feeling of this dream gradually drifting away?" Lu Yuan looked at Wu Tingting with a bright smile on his face.
He felt that he must be very sad and charming now.
“…”
"I don't actually want to make a lot of money, and I'm not a money-hungry person... I sometimes feel unhappy... I lost my original dream..." Lu Yuan spat the chewing gum into the trash can and continued to say this.
"Boss Lu, I have to get busy..."
Wu Tingting felt that Lu Yuan exuded a sense of high-end pretentiousness and shamelessness.
Yes.
Mr. Lu’s skill in showing off has reached perfection!
She was so pure that she suddenly wanted to beat up her own Mr. Lu.
It seems like starting a company, writing scripts, making movies and playing the piano was totally an accident?
Damn...
And making so much money was also an accident?
Unhappy?
I also want to be as unhappy as you. In fact, everyone in China wants to be as unhappy as you.
Who doesn’t want that?
…
"Huh? Has "This Man From Earth" been licensed overseas? Is he preparing to compete with our "Your Future Self"? "
"yes!"
"Is this...is this news true or false?"
“It’s true!”
"Which company did you license it to? Was it Paimon?"
"It's Huaxin. It looks like the movie will be released in the U.S. in four days... but there won't be many screenings."
“…”
Huaxin brothers?
What kind of brother is this?
Wait, that company that's going out of business?
this……
Are you challenging me to this?
What a joke!
Is this threatening?
