Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 918: What do you think she will do?

After analyzing the fundamental issues between the choices, it immediately became easy and smooth for Hideki Hanyu to resolve the remaining schedule conflicts.

"Halloween, save time for Child's Play 2, and move up the release date of Blood on Fire 3 to the Thanksgiving schedule."

In fact, after Peter Jackson's adjustment, the development direction of the "Bloody Night" series is no longer a simple horror film, but more like a fantasy movie.

Putting it in the Halloween schedule is just out of inertia, and moving it forward to Thanksgiving won't have any impact.

On the contrary, "Child's Play 2" is a pure horror film, so it is not suitable for adjustment.

And according to the plan, "Crazy Baby: Chapter 3" has been scheduled for next year's Halloween, and any adjustment will directly disrupt the plan.

As for the movies originally scheduled by Universal Pictures for the Thanksgiving period, they were all flops that Hideki Hanyu couldn't even remember, so there would be no psychological burden for him to just give up.

Immediately afterwards, Hideki Hanyu continued to make arrangements.

“As for the Christmas schedule, Home Alone cannot be changed.

The sequel to my picture book will be pre-launched, and the promotional cooperation from the academic publisher and the peripheral marketing from Elf Communication have all been arranged.

At this time, if the schedule is changed, compensating the partners for their losses is secondary. The main thing is to make new plans and coordinate with each other, which is too difficult. "

Alan Horn said, "The only option left is to withdraw Kindergarten Cop. I suggest moving it to the spring season next year, which will also make it easier for us to communicate with Schwarzenegger."

Hanyu Hideki nodded and said, "The schedule will be arranged as you said. As for the communication problem with Schwarzenegger, leave it to me as well."

As a future governor and someone who married a Kennedy family member, Schwarzenegger is someone worth making friends with for Hanyu Hideki.

Anyway, it's the same whether you let one sheep go or drive two sheep away, so it's just right for Mel Gibson and Schwarzenegger to solve the problem together.

This summer he plans to personally attend the yacht club event he founded in California, and he can just invite the two of them then.

As for whether the two will participate?
Hideki Hanyu doesn't need to worry about this at all. Schwarzenegger, who can marry a wife from the Kennedy family, will definitely come. Mel Gibson is just impulsive, not having any problems with his IQ.

Hanyu Hideki knocked on the table. "That's all about the schedule. If you have any other questions, let's solve them now while I have time. I have also arranged a yacht party for everyone tonight."

As soon as this was said, everyone saw that the most troublesome problem had been solved, and they all started to speak enthusiastically.

Duncan Clark took the lead and said, "Germany is recently formulating a new film subsidy policy. I think we should prepare for this in advance. It would be best to find a partner in Germany."

Although Hanyu Hideki had heard in his previous life that Germany used subsidies from relevant funds and institutions to attract film investment, he was not clear about the specific time and policies.

So when he heard what Duncan Clark said, he immediately asked with great interest, "Duncan, tell me what the specific situation is."

"Is such that……"

As Duncan Clark began to explain the details of Germany's subsidy policy to Hideki Hanyu, the high-level meeting held by Universal Pictures in Cannes officially entered the second stage after resolving the release date issue.

When the meeting ended, it was already noon.

Originally, Hideki Hanyu wanted to invite Alan Horn and others to lunch, but these senior executives were not as prioritized as he was. They had other work to do and invitations to keep.

In the end, Hideki Hanyu had to leave alone.

However, as a playboy and a scumbag, it is very difficult for Hideki Hanyu to be single even if he wants to, especially during the Cannes Film Festival.

After all, he has quite a few lovers in France.

Just as he left the hotel conference room, he immediately waited in the hotel lobby for the people who were going to have lunch with him.

Christiana Yeri.

After Cloud Entertainment acquired MCA Worldwide, Alan Horn, when restructuring Universal Pictures, took advantage of the merger and acquisition to absorb a large number of departments and management of the original Cloud Pictures into Universal Pictures.

The reason why Hideki Hanyu did this was naturally to obtain more shares and better control of Universal Pictures during the restructuring process.

After this operation, Cloud Pictures, like its predecessor Castle Rock Pictures, became an independent production company affiliated with Universal Pictures.

In this case, in order to avoid business overlap and waste of resources, all overseas branches of Cloud Pictures were merged with Universal Pictures.

As someone who has the support of Hideki Hanyu, Christiana Yerry, after the merger, jumped from the former senior producer of Cloud Pictures (France) to the vice president of Universal Pictures (Europe) and general manager of the French branch, responsible for all business operations in the French region.

With such a rapid rise, it would be a bit slow even to describe it as riding a rocket.

Moreover, sitting in such a high position at such a young age is bound to attract some discussions in the circle.

But discussions cannot change the facts, nor can they change the appointment from the top management of Universal Pictures, because they have the support of a scumbag behind them.

Anyway, today, Christiana Yeri has completely embarked on a different path from another time and space, and has completely given up on being an actress.

After all, as a senior executive of Universal Pictures Europe and a top figure in the entire European entertainment industry, how could he lower his status and go back to acting?

In a restaurant not far from the Film Palace, Hideki Hanyu and Christiana Yeri were leisurely eating lunch.

The beauty sitting opposite me is still as pretty and young as ever. After two years of front-line work training and experience in a high position, she has already developed the temperament of a strong woman.

The mixture of various temperaments, coupled with the beautiful face, can't help but be fascinated by her.

Hideki Hanyu's reaction naturally made Christiana Yeri happy. After all, a woman dresses up to please herself, and being liked by the person she likes makes her truly happy.

"I was waiting for you at the hotel specifically. I know you guys are having a meeting upstairs."

Christiana Yeri said this to Hideki Hanyu.

Hanyu Hideki asked, "Why don't you come to the conference room to find me?"

Christiana Yeri responded, "You guys are discussing a job in Hollywood, it's useless for me to go there."

Although both belong to Universal Pictures, the European divisions now operate relatively independently.

Even before Cloud Pictures merged with it, Universal Pictures rarely participated in film production in Europe, and was mainly responsible for distribution, film purchasing and other tasks.

Hanyu Hideki shook his head. “In fact, we also discussed a lot of business in Europe today. Moreover, as the times change, increasing international cooperation and expanding the global market will be the key development direction in the future.”

As Big Brother was about to leave, economic globalization was unstoppable. It was during this period that Hollywood rapidly expanded its global market by utilizing overseas distribution and international co-production models.

Don't just look at the current period, Europe still has its own film industry and unique film culture.

But soon, all of this will be destroyed and assimilated by the surging wave of Hollywood commercial films, and film culture and film aesthetics will begin to tend towards Hollywood standards.

However, it was not his turn as a time traveler to worry about European affairs. The reason why he told Christiana Yeri all this was simply to let her know that her current position would become more and more important in the future.

Hideki Hanyu thought so and naturally said so.

After all, Hideki Hanyu is not the kind of person who does good deeds without leaving a name. He contributes silently and moves himself, which is something that a scumbag would never do.

He does good things just to get beautiful women to fall into his arms.

Sure enough, after Hideki Hanyu finished patiently explaining to Christiana Yeri, the beauty sat directly next to the scumbag, and they were so moved that they were in love with each other.

Without waiting for the long French meal to end, the two went straight back to the yacht.

The yacht then returned to Cape Antibes to prepare for the party, but the two went straight into the bedroom of the holiday villa and did not come out until the yacht went to Cannes to pick up everyone invited to the party, and then Hideki Hanyu showed up with Christiane Yeri.

The reason why Hideki Hanyu held this yacht party in Cap d'Antibes is because the holiday villa he booked here is very special.

There is a pier in the front yard that extends directly into the sea, which can be used to dock rented yachts.

In this way, although the party is held on the yacht, it is integrated with the holiday villa. Guests can play on the boat or enter the villa to enjoy fine wine and food.

The reappeared Hanyu Hideki was wearing a white shirt and loose-fitting casual pants. He looked less solemn and more relaxed.

Christiana Yeri, who was standing next to Hideki Hanyu, was wearing a blue haute couture evening gown and a full set of jewelry that Hideki Hanyu had just given her. She looked radiantly beautiful.

When she followed Hanyu Hideki to entertain the invited guests, she naturally held Hanyu Hideki's arm, and in the eyes of everyone, she looked like a hostess.

"Mr. Pierre Viaud, Mr. Gilles Jacob, I am very glad that you can come to my party."

Hanyu Hideki, who appeared with his beauty, immediately began his entertaining duties as the party host.

Pierre Viaud is the current president of the Cannes International Film Festival and head of the French Film Centre.

He served as President of the Cannes International Film Festival from 1984 until 2000.

Gilles Jacob, General Delegate elected by the French Film Administration, is responsible for the organization of the Cannes International Film Festival together with Pierre Viaud.

Since the two began working together in the 1980s, the Cannes International Film Festival has demonstrated a strong desire to discover new talents and defend creative freedom.

A large number of works from non-European countries, as they were able to enter the Cannes Film Festival selection for the first time.

All the fifth-generation domestic directors who became famous in Cannes can be regarded as the "direct descendants" of these two people.

The two of them worked together to create the "Modern Era" of the Cannes International Film Festival.

The general meaning is new era, new stage, new Cannes International Film Festival.

The partnership between these two people will continue until the year 2000, so if a film project related to Hideki Hanyu wants to make a difference in Cannes, it will take a long time for them to deal with each other.

Even though several Hollywood giants will join forces to boycott the Cannes Film Festival due to the impact of next year's tariffs and trade agreement, Hideki Hanyu's investments are not limited to Universal Pictures.

Yunshang Entertainment's movies, Asian and domestic film investments, and North American independent films are all related to Hideki Hanyu
Especially the latter, although Cloud Pictures was acquired by Universal Pictures, all its businesses are still operated independently. Not only are the original film IPs retained, investment in North American independent films continues, and even the construction of the headquarters in Burbank has not stopped.

Historically, if Hollywood giants had not boycotted the Cannes Film Festival, independent films would not have been able to become big at the Cannes Film Festival.

The Coen brothers' "Barton Fink" next year and Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" the year after will win the Palme d'Or, all thanks to this.

Therefore, even if Universal Pictures joins other Hollywood counterparts in boycotting Cannes, it will not affect the independent films of Cloud Pictures from participating in the exhibition.

After all, Hideki Hanyu pushed for the merger and acquisition in order to increase his rights in Universal Pictures, not to completely end Cloud Pictures.

Especially for Yunshang Pictures, which has spent a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to finally make a name for itself in the North American independent film circle, many grassroots heroes have come to invest in it. Now that the harvest season has arrived, they must not give up.

Universal Pictures also needs Cloud Pictures, a bridgehead that can help it discover talent in the independent film industry.

This is also the reason why Hollywood giants will acquire independent film companies in the future.

After entertaining the two heads of the Cannes Film Festival, Hideki Hanyu continued to entertain several bosses and heads of European film companies.

Those who are eligible to be invited to tonight's party by Hideki Hanyu are basically well-known figures in the European film industry, or friends who have cooperative relationships with Yunshang Group and Universal Pictures.

He helps his companies with socializing and entertaining, and also helps Christiana Yeri, who is by his side, to develop relationships and build connections.

Now that Yeri has taken the position of vice president, he should do what is required of him, enter the circle that is required of him, and make friends with the people that are required of him.

Just after Hanyu Hideki and Yeri welcomed Gulas Seydoux, the head of French Gaumont, they saw Zhang Guoshi and Gong Li walking towards them.

Hanyu Hideki welcomed, "Director Zhang, Ms. Gong, please have fun tonight."

Zhang Guoshi said, "Thank you Mr. Hanyu for the invitation. I found out after I got on the boat that President Pierre and Representative Gilles Jacob were also your guests."

"Does Director Zhang know them too?" asked Hanyu Hideki.

Zhang Guoshi replied, "This is my first time in Cannes, how could I know them? I just said hello at the opening ceremony."

Upon hearing this, Hanyu Hideki thought that he was being affected by his memories of his past life again.

The current Zhang Guoshi is not the international director who would become in the future, who announced his withdrawal from the film festival in anger because Cannes required "My Father and Mother" to replace "Not One Less" and completely broke with the Cannes International Film Festival.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki said to Zhang Guoshi, "Since you all came to my party, it's a good opportunity for you to get to know each other. I still need to entertain guests, so how about asking Yeri to introduce Director Zhang?"

Naturally, Master Zhang would not refuse Hanyu Hideki's suggestion.

As for Gong Li, who was following Master Zhang, she immediately showed an expectant look.

This is not difficult to understand. After all, looking at all of Zhang Guoshi's favorite heroines, regardless of other things, each one is more ambitious than the other.

Compared to those young actresses in later generations who market themselves as "dedicated", it's really... forget it, there is absolutely no comparison.

Following Hideki Hanyu's instructions, Christiana Yeri left with Master Zhang and Gong Li.

Just as the three of them left, a teasing and lazy female voice sounded next to Hanyu Hideki.

"Mr. Seraphim, if Miss Sophie knew that you had such a beautiful female companion tonight, what do you think she would do?"
