Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion

Chapter 360 Golden Shell Investment (3/10)

　　After finishing some personal matters, Link continued with the concert.

Within half a month, there were twelve consecutive shows in Huaxia, from south to north, from east to west, almost one every day, and the schedule was very busy.

 And his concerts were almost sold out, with an average audience of 52,000 per concert. More than 500,000 tickets were sold in 12 concerts, which is better than the ticket sales of many first-line singers' concerts in the mainland.

Link is becoming more and more famous in China and has more and more fans.

In half a month, the three albums sold 470,000 copies in the mainland, including three English songs, which successively topped the Pepsi Music Chart, and 18 songs entered the top ten. In the same period, Jay Chou, JJ Lin, and Hu Yanbing also , SHE and other singers' songs.

"Southern Metropolis Daily" said that he is a new force in the Chinese music scene and has a huge influence on the Chinese music scene, comparable to the first-class singers in the country.

At the same time, there are more reports in the media that he is a playboy. He is almost a half-red and half-black star in China.

During the concert, he took part in three commercials and earned more than 12 million US dollars in endorsement fees, including cars, drinks and insurance company ads.

 Including performance fees, ticket revenue sharing, etc., it has earned more than 40 million US dollars, about 320 million Chinese dollars, including Hong Kong and Taiwan.

If it is well shot, it may be able to win some international awards like "Lust, Caution", but it is unlikely to sell hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office.

The production manager came over and reminded me.

 There was a burst of laughter and applause from the audience.

  —

Wendy Deng didn't believe it, saying that "Scandal Project", which he invested in, had a global box office of close to 150 million U.S. dollars after its release in January. He invested 8 million and earned 150 million in box office. It also had a good reputation. This also shows that Link has some vision in film investment. .

Link also smiled and continued: "Yes, she knew I was talking about her even in the audience. Let others take a guess. This song talks about the situation I was in when we were dating, which is to plead with her. A kiss, music!”

Originally, he wanted to invest in Ahli Gouchang Baidu, but unfortunately these three companies have already been listed. Now it is difficult to become a shareholder and the income will not be too much. It is not as good as investing in American companies to earn more.

 This is the positioning of Dolphin Bay at this stage. If Emily Yang wants to become bigger and stronger, she needs to show more abilities and help him make money, so that Link will continue to invest and support her.

 The former is a subsidiary of Wangda Group, which is mainly engaged in theater film investment, film investment and promotion, TV series and games.

 The registered capital is 3 million, with Golden Beike Investment holding 49%, Chris Liu 41% and Shu Chang 10%.

However, as for the movie "Snowflakes and the Secret Fan", it is a pornographic film that cannot be publicly screened in China. The Chinese background, Asian faces, and subject matter are too niche, and it will not perform well in the European and American markets.

 After dealing with these matters, he went to the "Snowflakes and Secret Fan" crew on the Bund of Dahai City to film.

 The second investment is Dolphin Bay Brokerage Company, with a registered capital of five million, with Golden Shell Investment holding 75% and Emily Yang holding 25%.

Link spent US$30 million to acquire approximately 7.2% of Wanda Pictures' shares, joined Wanda Pictures' board of directors, and became Wanda Pictures' third largest individual shareholder.

 The main scene is that he falls in love with the second female lead Sophia Snowflake, played by Jun Ji-hyun, but the person Snowflake likes is the first female lead Nina Lily.

 After paying a large amount of tax, the remaining money is transferred to Hong Kong Island.

Although Sophia Snowflake maintained a close relationship with him on the surface, she always thought of Nina Lily in her heart, and she aborted her child with Joseph for this reason.

Link is a singer and can sing both English and Chinese songs well.

Wearing a black suit, he stood on the stage with a microphone and said to the drinkers in the audience: "Ladies and gentlemen, I want to sing a song dedicated to the most maddening and stubborn person I have ever encountered. Woman, this song.”

 The business scope covers actor management, actor business development, actor publicity and promotion, film and television drama publicity and promotion, etc.

  This film is adapted from the novel "Snowflakes and the Secret Fan" by Chinese-American writer Lisa Kuang. It was published in 2005 and has sold more than 1 million copies. It has been translated into more than 30 languages ​​and is a relatively best-selling novel.

 The character played by Link is Joseph, a wealthy businessman from America, who is young, handsome and wealthy.

After Wendy Deng failed to seek a more important position at News Corporation, she turned her attention to the film and television industry. "Snowflake Fan" was her first film as a producer, and it was also regarded as a stepping stone for her to enter the film field.

Wendee Deng said that she doesn’t want to have a box office of over 100 million, just 40 to 50 million and a few awards will be enough.

We also acquired 12 high-end apartments in prosperous areas of Dahai City, and listed them under the name of Shell Baby Real Estate Management Company.

 “Mr. Baker, it’s your turn to prepare.”

 He ​​registered an investment company called "Golden Shell" on Hong Kong Island, and then used the name of Golden Shell Investment Company to invest in Wanda Pictures and Dolphin Bay Brokerage Company respectively.

Link said that the affairs of Palm Beach Pictures are mainly in the hands of Catherine, and "Scandal Project" was also a project she was involved in. She is only responsible for investment, and I really don't know about other things.

Link nodded, said hello to Wendy Deng, and walked into the set to perform.

 The group performers under the stage also danced gracefully.

 In addition, he also spent more than 22 million US dollars to buy several properties.

Ms. Liu also registered a film studio in Beijing and was responsible for the acting management of Chrissy and Shu Chang.

 But Joseph still loved her, and was also moved by her love for Lily.

He doesn't have many scenes, there are mainly five scenes. The first scene is singing "Can I Give Me a Kiss" in a high-end bar in Dahai City, using this song to express his love to Sophia Snowflake.

The lighting for this scene was handled by the "Star Trek" special effects artist. The effect was very good and looked very high-quality.

The live music sounded, and Link tapped his fingers and sang the English version of "Give Me a Kiss" along with the accompaniment.

Link said he could give it a try. He didn’t know how much the movie’s original box office would be, but with three major international movie stars including himself, Alice Lee, and Jun Ji-hyun joining the cast, 40 to 50 million should be no problem.

After Link joined the group, Wendy Deng often found him and asked him how the movie was and whether it would be a big hit.

Link said he didn’t know.

 And reached multiple cooperations with Wanda Pictures in the name of Palm Beach Pictures. Since he did not have time in China, Ms. Liu became his agent in Wanda Pictures.

 Including a large courtyard house and two luxury apartments located in Chaoyang District.

The current market value is about 3.2 billion. After being officially listed in 2015, it has gone through a series of mergers and acquisitions and became the first share of Huaxia Cinemas. The market value once exceeded 200 billion. It is a relatively promising project.

Link walked off the stage, shaking his shoulders as he sang, performing very relaxedly and with ease.

 Director Wang Ying saw his performance and nodded slightly.

He is worthy of being an actor who has collaborated with the great director Woody Allen. During his performance, his movements, language, expressions, and even micro-expressions were all just right, without feeling like a forced performance at all.

　　When Wendy Deng originally said that this role was given to Link, he was still a little worried. He felt that Link was not suitable as a boxer and singer, and it would take a lot of effort to shoot.

 Now it seems that the original worries were unnecessary.

Alice Li also sat at the scene and looked at Link who was performing, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

She has watched "The Fighter" starring Link. Although Link's performance in that movie was not bad, it was only good, and there was still some distance between him and a first-class actor.

But only half a year later, his acting skills have made great progress, his acting style is more mature and his performance is more stable.

He also has the aura of an international superstar that he carries with him, which makes him look very charming.

“How about it, I said this guy is very powerful and can accomplish anything. Do you believe it now?”

Deng Wendy said.

"I believe it, but it's a pity that he is too young. If he is older, I will definitely chase him."

Alice Lee joked.

"You are only in your thirties, not old at all. Do you know Marion Cotillard? You are fourteen years older than Link, and the two of them are still fighting fiercely. This shows that Link doesn't care about age when picking up girls. Binbin, you If you want to chase Link, you have a chance."

Deng Wendy smiled softly.

 Alice listened to Wendy Deng's words and looked at Link in the middle of the dance floor. Her heart couldn't help but jump. She had the urge to try it, but she knew it was wrong. She quickly reined in her thoughts and said angrily:

"Sister, please stop being so angry. If I run into his room in the middle of the night and scare him away, and no one comes to make a movie, don't blame me." "No, Link has a big appetite. You If you dare to go to his room in the middle of the night, you will definitely be eaten up by him. "

Deng Wendy chuckled.

Alice suddenly remembered the way Link had his hands in his pockets when they left at the seafood restaurant that day. She couldn't help but feel her face getting hot, thinking that if she went to Link's room at night, there was a real possibility that she wouldn't be able to get out.

She rolled her eyes at Wendy Deng and asked her to stop talking, as she would be distracted from filming later.

Wendy Deng patted her on the shoulder and told her that Link invested huge sums of money to invest in Wanda Pictures in order to support Chris Liu.

This news has spread among the entertainment industry’s capitalists, and everyone knows that Chris is Link’s person. Those who bullied Chris and blocked Chris in the past, in order to avoid being in trouble with Link, are now probably plotting Détente with Chrissy.

 Alice asked Link how much money he invested in Wanda Pictures? This information has not yet been made public, and ordinary people do not know the inside story.

Wendy Deng raised two fingers.

 Alice asked twenty million?

Deng Wendy said calmly and added another zero.

Alice's heart trembled when she heard this, and secretly sighed that Link, a playboy, was too rich. He spent more than 200 million on picking up girls. If the 200 million were divided, he would be two billionaires, but he spent it on one woman.

Alice didn't understand the meaning of Miss Qianjin before, but now she understands that Chris Liu is worth 200 million.

 “Is this guy not afraid of losing money?”

 Alice looked at Link in the field and thought to herself.

 “Give me a kiss, can you?

 Kiss me on the face, leave a love mark

 Give me a kiss, can you?

 kiss my heart and make me miss you

Even if I stare at you, you won’t agree.”

 After singing the English version of "Give Me Just One Kiss", Link continued to sing the Chinese version of "Give Me a Kiss".

 “Cut!”

After singing once, Director Wang Ying called a pause and walked up to Link. He hesitated and said that his Mandarin was too standard and lacked a bit of flavor. He hoped that his pronunciation would not be too standard when singing.

Link was speechless.

 After becoming Link, due to the different muscle structure of tongue and throat, the way of pronunciation is also different. Although he knows the most standard way to speak Mandarin, the Mandarin he speaks is still very difficult to pronounce, and what he speaks is also "foreign Chinese".

Before filming this movie, Director Wang Ying told him that he had to learn this Chinese song in advance and practice it fluently. For this reason, he had to take time to practice this song during his concert break, and he also had to be fluent. Si Heshu sang and pointed out his pronunciation.

It took him a long time to practice to achieve this level, but now director Wang Ying said that he sang too well, which made all his previous work in vain.

But Director Wang Ying is right. A foreigner who can speak fluent Mandarin is definitely not as popular as a foreigner who speaks broken Chinese.

Link changed from Jian Ruliu to poor Chinese to sing "Give Me a Kiss". Although the singing was poor, he felt much more comfortable when pronouncing it.

 “Let’s sing together!”

 Give me a bowl, deliberately or not

 Put a bowl of mulberry on my face, leaving a sign of love

 Give me a bowl, deliberately or not

Link sang and danced, walked up to Quan Zhixian, and met her eyes.

Link was wearing a black suit and a white shirt, and was extremely handsome. Jun Ji-hyun was wearing a close-fitting red dress, with long straight black hair, and a bulging figure.

 The live lighting also shines on the two of them, like the lighting at the Oscars. It looks great.

"Even if you stare at me and you don't agree, I still want to plead with you. Hey, everyone, look at how she played me."

Link slowly approached Quan Zhixian and wanted to kiss her, but Quan Zhixian turned her head and avoided his kiss.

 “Never lose your heart!”

Link continued singing.

"Wow!"

 Pap, pah, pah!

 The audience applauded and cheered.

At this time, Quan Zhixian held his chin and kissed him gently.

 The whole audience cheered again.

Link smiled lightly, took Quan Zhixian's hand, and walked to the middle of the dance floor to dance.

Jeon Ji-hyun also took the initiative to kiss him on the lips, because Seolhwa’s role is Xinzhong’s Gong, and she also acted like a man when it came to kissing.

Link hugged the other person, put his hand on her slender waist, and slowly slid it towards the curve. Quan Zhixian had a pretty good figure, with some curvature.

 “Cut!”

 “That’s right, here’s another one!”

 Director Wang Ying shouted.

The next one is not that the previous one was not good, but I hope that the two of them will perform better in the next game and make a breakthrough in their performance.

 Only if the actors perform better, the movie can reach a higher level.

Link doesn’t mind acting it over again. On the one hand, he can practice his acting skills, and on the other hand, he can take the time to learn Korean from Jun Ji-hyun.

Originally, he knew a little spoken Korean and a little Japanese, but not much. He needed to practice more if he wanted to fully master these two languages.

When Jun Ji-hyun taught him Korean, he was also more serious. He first taught him daily spoken English and vocabulary, and then taught some more complex sentence structures. By the way, he also told him some Korean history and allusions.

 After practicing for a while, Link still has some difficulty speaking Korean, but he can understand more and more Korean sentences.

In order to express his gratitude, he offered to treat Quan Ji-hyun to dinner, but the other party refused. He also told him directly that she had a boyfriend and her relationship was relatively stable. Accepting his banquet would easily spread scandals and make her boyfriend think too much, so she refused with regret. Got him.

Link found it interesting. After becoming a billionaire star, few women would refuse his invitation, but now they hit a wall with Jun Ji-hyun.

However, he didn’t care and continued to learn Korean from the other party. He also bought a gemstone bracelet for her as a thank you gift, which cost about one thousand US dollars. Jun Ji-hyun did not refuse this time.

  Afterward, she gave him a Sony music player in return, which contained more than 60 classic Korean songs and more than a dozen daily Korean conversations. The conversations were recorded by her herself, and the gift was very thoughtful.

 The two of them became friends over time.

Link has not shown any intention to pursue the other party, and the other party will not refuse to be friends with him.

As for Japanese, Tahara Yasue, President of the Marketing Department of Universal Music Japan, also sent his Japanese teacher to Dahai City.

To his surprise, Xinheng Yui was not the only one, but the other party also sent a girl named Sasaki Nozomi.

 The same age as Xinheng Yui, 22 years old, 168 cm tall, 80/58/82 cm measurements, pure and white appearance, long legs, and a curvy figure.

 Sasaki Nozomi is a model and is now an actor. She has three works, "God's Water Drop" and "Angel Love". She is a relatively outstanding newcomer.

Tahara Yasue said that she is Xinheng Yui’s assistant, and the two of them will be responsible for Link’s Japanese work from now on.

Link looked a little speechless.

The Japanese side was too enthusiastic, making him feel that this place might be a trap, such as a commercial espionage.

 So before he understood their purpose, he only studied Japanese with the two of them for the time being and did not do anything excessive.

 “cut!”

 “Perfect! Next article!”
