Wangfujing Pedestrian Street, Meiyuan Beauty Shop.
The door was open, and the greeting lady wearing a plain cheongsam saw the visitor, and the formulaic smile on her face stopped:
"Boss, ah, Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu..."
"Shh, don't make any noise."
Gao Yuanyuan took off her sunglasses and said, "Let someone go to the third floor to prepare a fragrant health bath. Then make a pot of Biluochun that I kept here last time and put it in it."
"boss?"
Lu Fei was startled when he saw the little sister leaving.
"Yes, my sister-in-law, sister Hailu and I drove it together.
Gao Yuanyuan knocked on the bar: "How is the decoration?"
"Do you still serve men here?"
Lu Fei looked around and saw that it was as brilliant as a palace.
There is a leisure area at the bar on the left, specially designed for men who accompany women to have a beauty treatment, have a drink, sip coffee, and even play on the computer for a while while waiting.
On the right side, there is a hair salon separated by transparent glass. There are all beauties, tall, thin, pure, charming, colorful, colorful, and it can be dazzling to see.
"What are you thinking about!"
Gao Yuanyuan pulled him through the staff passage and went straight to the third floor.
As he walked, he said: "We are only open to women, especially this floor. Only my sister-in-law and Sister Hailu visit occasionally. It is not open to the public. Most people cannot enter at all. You are the first male to step here."
Lu Fei glanced at the "Men Only" sign and stepped over, "What's the response from the guests here?"
"Pretty good."
Gao Yuanyuan walked into the private room with a smile, "Actually, at the beginning, I just wanted to provide some extra benefits for the female comrades in the company and earn some money on the way. Unexpectedly, the more I did it, the more prosperous the business became."
The house named "Die Lian Hua" is not big, but it has a strong atmosphere.
Surrounded by towels, shelves and other items, in the center is a bathtub surrounded by stones. Full of rose petals floating on the water, emitting a refreshing fragrance.
"The water temperature is just right, let's try it."
Gao Yuanyuan put her hand into the bathtub.
Lu Fei took off his clothes without saying a word, got into the steaming hot fragrant yellow health bath, and immediately exhaled comfortably.
"Huh, I'm really exhausted these days!"
Gao Yuanyuan put her hair up before getting into the water.
"But it's not in vain. The box office of "Racing" has exceeded 200 million, and the number in China is no more than five figures. We in the Han and Tang Dynasties have become a family. However, I made a mistake, that is, I thought "The Secret That Cannot Be Telled" I was able to continue my momentum and hit another small target. I really didn’t expect that the box office would be so much worse than expected..."
"How much difference?"
Lu Fei slowly held her in his arms.
"It's quite a lot, about 64 million."
Gao Yuanyuan fiddled with the rose petals, "I originally thought that because of Jielenga Tiantian's appeal, there would be no problem with the box office exceeding 30 million in the first week, but I never expected that it would only be more than 36 million in almost two weeks. Well, the cost is 10 million. Such It's really weird that I managed to keep my book, "Initial D" and "The Golden Jacket" were both good, so why did it suddenly fail when it was Jay's turn to direct and star in it?"
Lu Fei scratched her nose: "It's very simple. The current market has not yet reached the time for fan movies to explode."
"Fan movie?" Gao Yuanyuan blinked.
Lu Fei explained that before "Thousands of Miles Away" and "Blue and White Porcelain" opened up the middle-aged and elderly market, Jay Chou's fans were mainly those born in the 80s and 90s, and were not the main force in movies.
Gao Yuanyuan suddenly realized, "That's right. You can't expect uncles, aunts, uncles and aunts to watch their campus romance."
Lu Fei shrugged, "I can only say that I was born at the wrong time. The movie was good. Unfortunately, it is impossible to monetize his and Tiantian's fan traffic now, not to mention there are too few theaters and theater chains."
"When it comes to theaters, I feel the same way!"
Gao Yuanyuan poured two cups of tea, "As far as the quality of "Racing" is concerned, 200 million is definitely not the limit. If the number of screens can be more than doubled, there may be 5 or 6 billion." She took a sip and said, "Think about it this way , I was wrong not to vote for "Red Cliff"."
"It will be very different in a year or two."
Lu Fei took a sip and said that he should make preparations early and create a series of chick movies tailored for Yang Mi, Liu Shishi and Jing Tian.
Gao Yuanyuan listened to his plan, especially when she heard "Search", her eyes suddenly lit up: "You are so talented."
"The editor-in-chief felt sorry for Sister Hailu to act."
Lu Fei smiled.
Gao Yuanyuan grinned and said, "You have been a big help. Sister Lifang and I are about to die from the movie starring Mimi and Shishi! This story about cyber violence is good, so we will make this one, and I will let Dan Nian write the script. , who is the director looking for..."
"Director, don't be in a hurry, let's save the script first."
Lu Fei kissed her forehead.
"That's fine."
Gao Yuanyuan snuggled into his arms, "Well, you have such an idea. Please help me think about how to run the cinema successfully. Sister Lifang is not very good at this aspect, but she is annoying us to death."
When Lu Fei heard this, he took a move.
Learn from Hollywood, cooperate with Warner and New Line Cinema, let them assist Han and Tang in building a world-class multiplex theater in the commercial plaza, provide technical support in design and construction, and help with training and operation after completion. All of this the cost of--
The Han and Tang Dynasties shouldered the responsibility!
"Is it too expensive?"
Gao Yuanyuan frowned and hesitated.
"Just think of it as paying tuition. Why don't the people we poached from Wanda be useful?" Lu Fei said with a smile, "Don't worry, foreign capital is completely restricted from entering the theater chain and cannot occupy a single share of Hantang Cinema. Wait. When you’ve learned enough, kick him away.”
"You're so mean."
"Is it bad? I can be a little worse."
"Hmph, you are so bad."
With the sound of splashing, the rose petals and water splashes in the pool splashed up, and even fell to the stone bricks outside the pool.
After being gentle for a while, Lu Fei took off the rose petals stuck to Gao Yuanyuan's body piece by piece, "This time when I go to the United States, I will take care of the theater cooperation."
She pressed tightly against his chest and narrowed her eyes:
"I also want to take advantage of the premiere of "Iron Man" to go to the United States with Sister Li Fang and the others."
"Aren't I afraid of tiring our CEO Gao?"
Lu Fei shrugged, "Forget it, I won't do it."
Gao Yuanyuan hugged his neck, "Gee, I know you feel sorry for me, so I won't go. I'll leave this kind of cross-border negotiation to you and Sister Lifang."
"She is indeed professional in this regard."
"Then I'll wait for the good news. By the way, we're in the United States anyway. You guys stop by to see Sister Zeng Li. I don't know how she is doing. She hasn't posted any personal photos on Weibo for a while."
"Well, I must go and have a look."
Lu Fei nodded calmly.
………………
I enjoyed myself to the fullest for a few days in Gao Yuanyuan's gentle countryside.
He even roped her in and asked professional players from the Wings LOL team to escort her. She ranked five black and had a winning rate of 100% without a doubt, and her ranking went directly to diamond.
The only flaw is——
Because he was too strong, he was reported for cheating.
Cheating?
It was obvious that he had only slightly used his ability to count billions of dollars!
"Anti-software will be free for the time being for another year. Penguin won't fight for the false reputation of 'the first person to be permanently free'. Yes, there is one more thing. Hua Teng, please let someone unblock my LOL account..."
Lu Fei stepped on the boarding ladder and got off the Gulfstream aircraft.
Ivanka is wearing a bright red cheongsam with her long hair tied up. The strands of her hair are shining golden in the sun. She is elegant. Under Mr. Lu’s tireless indoctrination, she has become more and more elegant with Eastern manners.
The two of them made a kiss and got into the car.
Ivanka sat on the seat with her legs crossed in reverse.
"The film's premiere is scheduled for September 7, which is both Friday and Labor Day, a statutory holiday. This will be a rare holiday advantage for us."
Lu Fei touched his chin, "Where's the premiere?"
Ivanka highlighted the key points in the plan and then handed it over: "Because Downey and Zeng have already done enough exposure at the Golden Globes, Oscars, and Met Gala in the early stage, they might as well keep a low profile and keep it simple, and save the money and invest it in During the promotion, this is also out of consideration for Zeng's health. She can attend or not attend as appropriate. Of course, there is no need to worry about affecting the release. This time, "Iron Man" is jointly undertaken by Warner and New Line. The number of libraries is expected to reach 3,178, ranking first in the same period..."
"She won't be attending."
Lu Fei rubbed his fingers: "Let Donnie take the lead."
Ivanka subconsciously touched her flat belly.
"I think so too. Next, I will arrange for Downey to accept many TV and radio interviews. He will focus on a 'prodigal son who never returns money' character, which is in line with the image of Iron Man. You will also be specifically mentioned in the manuscript. It was you who gave In his second artistic life, it was you who saved his acting career. It was you who made him, a bastard, return to the right path. You are his savior. Many details in his performance are inspired by you and pay tribute to you. .”
"Pop."
Lu Fei clapped his hands with satisfaction, "I haven't seen his interview yet. Have you seen it? What do you think of his performance?"
"He's a good actor and he acts like he's real."
Ivanka recalled it and praised it.
"Of course, we paid." Lu Fei smiled.
"You'd better be there on the day of the premiere."
Ivanka presented the attendance list again.
"is this necessary?"
Lu Fei flipped through it, and the names of Marvel executives such as "Stan Lee" and "Kevin Feige" suddenly appeared in his sight.
"They want to talk to you after the premiere."
Ivanka said in a serious tone: "I showed a lot of sincerity, and also sent the actor Chris Evans of Captain America, and the actor Edward Norton of the follow-up Hulk."
“The greater the sincerity, the greater the consequences.”
"They would wear beat headphones on the red carpet that day."
"Phew, it looks like I have no reason to refuse."
Lu Fei whistled.
"With or without them, you should show up. You can form a powerful stunt with Downey and "Iron Man", and at least save tens of millions of advertising fees." Ivanka knew that he wanted to accompany Zeng Li until On the day of production, but a comprehensive analysis of the pros and cons——
If you don’t go, you will suffer huge losses!
Go, the benefits are huge!
If "Iron Man" alone is a big success, the "Silicon Valley Iron Man" must be Lu Fei, which is equivalent to another layer of gold plating. His character and image alone can make the valuation of the company under his name skyrocket.
Just like Apple in its previous life, Steve Jobs has always been mythical.
"I am Iron Man, and you are my Pepper."
The corner of Lu Fei's mouth raised into a smile.
"Am I? Not Zeng?"
There was a touch of sourness in Ivanka's words.
"She is acting, you are the real one."
Lu Fei pinched her chin and let her taste it——
What is "a man's mouth, a liar"?
After a while, the car drove steadily to the hospital in Los Angeles.
Ivanka straightened her messy clothes and wiped her mouth with a tissue. "I won't go up. Say hello to Zeng for me."
"..."
Lu Fei pulled up his trousers, and he and Wang Ben came to the single ward where Zeng Li was. He saw Zeng Yu, Zeng's father and daughter accompanying her. She was lying on the bed, her face rounded and her arms fat. The whole person is rich, but just right.
"snort!"
Zeng Yu had a cold face and refused to even say hello.
Seeing this, my great-father shook his head and laughed: "There is no custom of 'confinement' here in the United States, and there are no formal confinement centers. I hired a foreign confinement nanny. She has a good reputation and has signed a confidentiality agreement. Of course, I will also take care of Da Mei.”
"Thank you, dad." Lu Fei smiled.
Zeng's father laughed from ear to ear because of this "Dad". From the corner of his eye, he noticed that Zeng Yu still had a bad face and pulled her out of the house, "Let's not disturb your sister and your brother-in-law."
"You, you must treat my sister well from now on!"
Zeng Yu gritted his teeth and stamped his feet.
Looking at her leaving figure, Lu Fei was curious.
"Dad helped me do a lot of ideological work."
Zeng Li snuggled into his arms, "Don't be angry with Xiao Yu. She is a talkative person and said she wanted to come to the United States to study for a master's degree after graduation so that she could take care of me and the baby. Pfft, this kid~"
"If she really wants to, I will arrange it."
Lu Fei stroked her swollen pregnant belly.
The two looked at each other, speechless.
After a long time, Lu Fei squeezed Zeng Li's hand:
"Thank you for your hard work, senior sister."
"Why am I working so hard? You see how comfortable I feel during this time. Even if I eat and eat, I have become so fat."
"Where is the fat? She is obviously as plump as Concubine Yang."
Zeng Li was kissed on the forehead by Lu Fei, and she raised a sweet smile, "Have you thought about the name of the child?"
"Girls are called... boys are called..."
…………
"Paul! Eve!"
Laurenna asked the children to turn down the volume on the TV, then turned her attention to Jobs, who was pacing back and forth on the balcony.
"Tim, are you seriously not kidding?"
"Lu, that bastard implanted Logic's products into the "Iron Man" movie. Is it reliable? Is this news reliable?"
Jobs looked pale and his voice was hoarse.
"Steve, I swear in the name of God. Of course, Iger and the others can testify. Many Disney executives have seen the sample and they all said that the film is good, quite good. I think we need to prepare a strategy to deal with it." "Iron Man" may bring Logic to a higher level in terms of cultural soft power and influence..."
"Farke! Farke!"
When Jobs heard what Cook said, he couldn't help but get angry.
"Dad, what does 'Fake' mean?"
Eve ran over with bare feet, "The teacher often says this word too."
"Hehe, 'Fake' is..."
Just as Paul was about to open his mouth, Laurenna gave him a sharp look, and then she looked at her husband: "Hey, Steve, be careful, don't say it in front of the children..."
"Sauri, honey, I didn't mean to do it."
Jobs shrugged.
Laurenna said in a serious tone: "Then we will punish you to accompany us to see a movie on Labor Day. You are not allowed to refuse. The children need our company."
"Okay, okay, what are you looking at?"
Jobs used all his strength to lift Eve up.
"Iron Man! I want to see Iron Man!"
Paul jumped up and down and blurted out.
Jobs's eyes widened. His son wanted to watch a movie invested by his enemy. His blood pressure suddenly rose, but he couldn't refuse forcefully. He sighed helplessly: "You like Iron Man very much?"
"No, I like Huaxia Lu."
Paul showed admiration in his eyes, "He is my idol. He just recommended "Iron Man" on Facebook. I want to watch it."
"What?!"
Jobs was breathing heavily and his blood was boiling.
Damn it, you traitor!
