Chapter 86
Los Angeles.
Inside the 1426 villa.
Su Yan hung up the call from Sean.
Then he looked at the city with lights on the horizon in the distance.
Evening in Los Angeles.
Still quite quiet.
Especially skyscrapers with lights on.
Not just a symbol of wealth.
It also represents class
"Maybe? I can buy an office building in Los Angeles." Such an idea suddenly came to
Su Yan's mind.
Now he has nearly 120 million US dollars in cash.
In another week, the movies"Despicable Me 2" and"Fast and Furious 7" will be split with him By then , Su Yan will have at least 200 million U.
S.
dollars in liquidity.
This amount of money will be enough to buy a Class A office building in Los Angeles.
After all, the current No.
1 office building in downtown Los Angeles The three-high-rise Yon Office Building was acquired by JPMorgan Chase some time ago for less than US$150 million.
However, if Su Yan buys a building, he will definitely not buy a high-rise building like the Aon Office Building.
After all, Su Yan now Yan's studio is not that big.
If there are thousands of people in the studio in the future , Su Yan may buy a high-rise building like that.
The current studio only has a few hundred people.
However, buying a An eight or nine-story building can still be used as a temporary headquarters.
"Sweetheart, why don't you come in?"
Katie stood in front of the glass door and asked Su Yan.
It also made Su Yan's thoughts temporarily come back.
Regarding buying a house, you can find a local real estate agent.
However, there is no rush for this.
After all,
Su Yan is not the kind of person who blindly expands.
"I'm coming in."
Su Yan replied
…… the next day.
The housekeeper at home has prepared breakfast according to the menu for every"May 40" day.
Su Yan ate two fried eggs and slices of bread.
Then after drinking a glass of freshly squeezed juice.
He came to the living room to greet his guests.
Su Yan does not have an office or recording studio in Los Angeles.
So, he could only greet manager Sean and what he called MLB's publicity manager at home.
The time came to 10 o'clock.
The servant at home came to tell Su Yan.
A man named Sean came to visit.
So Su Yan asked someone to invite them in
"Oh, Sue, you have such a beautiful house."
"I heard that this house was acquired by you just a few days after it was completed."
As soon as he came in,
Manager Sean said very politely.
As for Manager Sean, as the NBA publicity manager, although he has part of the NBA shares in his hands, he has not cashed out yet.
Therefore, he cannot afford to live in Suzhou. Talk about a house like this now
"Manager Sean, please take a seat."
"I just moved in a few days ago."
Beside Sean.
There was also a woman who looked very intellectual and was probably in her thirties.
"Hello Sue, let me introduce myself."
"I'm MLB's publicity manager, you can call me Katona."
The woman stretched out her white right hand and shook Su Yan's hand.
"Nice to meet you."
The maid at home brought coffee.
Then the two parties started chatting.
"Katona, if you come to me with anything, just say it."
The more we talk about cooperation.
The more Su Yan likes to talk straight to the point.
This can save a lot of time.
It can also save a lot of unnecessary trouble.
After hearing this,
Katona said:"Wait a minute, I have a document here, I want to Let you take a look."
After saying that,
Katona took out a document with about twenty or thirty A4 sheets.
There were some pictures and introductions printed on it.
Su Yan took the document and looked at it page by page.
Above it was a pair of Introduction to MLB games.
And some introductions to MLB halftime show
"Su, I think you should know the purpose of my coming to you this time."
"It's the opening ceremony of the MLB playoffs"
"We'd like to invite you to perform at the MLB Opening Ceremony"
"Sue, no one is more suitable for this stage than you"
"I think the audience will go crazy when they see you."
The tone of Katona talking to Su Yan was a bit familiar.
It was like a little fan girl talking to her idol.
However,
Su Yan didn't catch a cold.
"Maybe...if there was a suitable remuneration, I might consider it."
Su Yan said.
Katona quickly said
"Our MLB salaries are much higher than those in the NBA."
This point.
Sean, as the publicity manager of the NBA, fully agrees.
You know,
MLB is the second largest ball game in the United States after football.
Its traffic and money-absorbing ability in the United States are much greater than basketball.
"Yes, Sue, the MLB is indeed more expensive than the NBA."
"Last year, MLB revenue was $9.5 billion"
"The NBA has $4.8 billion"
"Of course, the highest-grossing sport is the NFL. Its revenue is $13 billion."
As a middleman, Sean still wanted to promote this cooperation.
Therefore, he also helped Katona explain.
"Well, it seems that my friend Sean really wants me to accept your invitation."
"Let’s talk about it in detail."
Su Yan said.
The two parties had a detailed exchange.
The remuneration offered by MLB is indeed very generous.
Su Yan will perform three songs on stage!
That is ten minutes.
The average performance fee for one song is 3.3333 million U.S. dollars!
That is, MLB paid Su Yan 10 million U.S. dollars for three songs!
This price!
Looking at the entire North American music scene!
It is also a ceiling price!
Of course.
This is just the performance fee.
And Su Yan.
Plans to use MLB To bring traffic and attention to his new album.
Therefore, he wants to sing a new song on MLB.
Maximizing revenue and traffic is what Su Yan has been pursuing.
"I didn't expect you to agree to my invitation so readily."
Katona shook hands with Su Yan.
With the remote assistance of Goodman's lawyer, the two parties signed a contract.
"Thank you Sue, you did me a huge favor."
Manager Sean also said
"You're welcome, Sean"
"I also have to thank you, after all, this is a well-paying job."
Su Yan said
"SU, the opening ceremony of the MLB playoffs, at Yankee Stadium, begins rehearsals ten days later."
Katona continued
"Don't worry, I have always had a good sense of time."
Su Yan said.
The cooperation has been negotiated.
Su Yan sent Katona and others out of his villa.
……
"Oh, Katona just now must be interesting to us men."
After the guests left,
Katie and Taylor appeared in the living room.
Then Katie and Taylor made a bet.
She was in the corridor on the second floor just now. She had a clear view of Katona's every word and deed.
A proper green tea
"Forget it, Su is not interested in her"
"Why don't you pay attention to what we're going to eat later?"
The two women were sitting on the sofa in the living room discussing.
Su Yan smiled and shook his head.
Then he called Goodman's lawyer.
"Hey Goodman, I need you to come to Los Angeles and do me a favor"
"Of course, I will pay you another fee."
Su Yan asked lawyer Goodman.
It was because he wanted him to help contact the real estate agency in Los Angeles.
After receiving Sean and Katona this morning,
Su Yan felt that his plan to buy an office building in Los Angeles required The process has begun.
After buying the office building, he can move the studio's headquarters here.
In this way,
Los Angeles and Los Angeles will have their own studios in the west and east.
This will make it easier for Su Yan to talk. Business
……
There's still some time until the MLB playoffs. (To read cool novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
In the past few days.
Although Su Yan didn't make any big moves.
But on social platforms.
Su Yan has been on the hot searches for a long time.
No other reason
《The two movies"Despicable Me 2" and"Fast and Furious 7" are now in theaters!
They were quite a success at the box office!
《Despicable Me 2 has grossed over $700 million at the North American box office.
The global box office has exceeded 1.1 billion US dollars!
《"Fast and Furious 7" has grossed nearly $600 million at the North American box office! but!

But it has exceeded 1.7 billion US dollars! at the same time!
《"Zootopia" was also released.
The box office revenue exceeded 100 million US dollars within two days of release.
Hollywood.
Inside the offices of Universal Pictures!
President Pierce is very excited at the moment! he didn't expect[]
Universal Pictures' two consecutive movies have grossed more than one billion US dollars at the box office!
This far exceeded his initial expectations!
"Director Chris, and director Wen Ziren"
"oh! We need to have a drink at the office! You are now a popular figure in our Universal Pictures!"
"You chose to use Su to promote the movie, which is the most correct thing!"
���The success of our film has a lot to do with Su!"
President Pierce said happily.
He has a habit.
That is to analyze why movies make money.
There is nothing to analyze about the quality of movies.
Because that is the most basic thing. What he likes to analyze is things other than movies.
To put it bluntly.
That's marketing.
From a marketing perspective
《The marketing of"Fast and Furious 7" and"Despicable Me 2" are similar. but
《The marketing angle of"Fast and Furious 7" is just easier to attract audiences.
Pierce dug out half a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet.
Then he poured a glass for James Wan and Chris each.
See this.
Wen Ziren was still very excited. certainly.
More importantly, it was out of gratitude to Su Yan.
There was no publicity from Su Yan.
Without his box office achievement of 1.7 billion US dollars!
"The box office settlement will be in these two days.0"
"Oh my god, if these two movies are divided according to the box office, Su will probably earn more than 300 million US dollars in pre-tax income."
"To be honest, he is such a businessman!"
"However, it is undeniable that he is indeed a genius."
Pierce and Wenzi let them drink and then continued to speak.
"For this amount of money, James, please take a trip on behalf of Universal Pictures."
"It’s a way of repaying your kindness, that’s what Chinese people say."
James is Wen Ziren's name in the United States.
After hearing Pierce's words,
Wen Ziren was still very excited.
He contacted Su Yan.
It was indeed a good choice!
……
Negotiate.
Inside Su Yan's studio.
He's working on the MLB soundtrack.
Taking a few days off in Los Angeles.
Make him feel very comfortable.
Immerse yourself in Taylor and Katie's soft land every day.
Really unhappy. but. happy time.
Always limited.
Maybe after Su Yan became a real capital.
Then you can play and sing every night
"Boss, director Wen Ziren is here. Currently in your office."
Su Yan just walked out of the recording studio.
His employee came up and said
"When did it arrive?"
"half an hour ago"
"I'll go there now."
After the brief exchange,
Su Yan walked towards his office.
"Hey Su! We meet again!"
"You may not imagine how much I miss you during this time. Director Wen
Ziren opened his arms and gave Su Yan a hug.
"I miss you so much as well."
After the two briefly exchanged greetings,
Wen Ziren said
"In fact, not only did I come, I also brought the financial resources of Universal Pictures"
"After they complete the financial arrangements, Universal Pictures will transfer the money to your public account." Su Yan had already guessed the purpose of Wen Ziren's visit just now. However, he still showed an expression of surprise.
"Thank you for making the trip yourself."
Su Yan said.
Wen Ziren waved his hand.
The two chatted for a while.
The transfer was completed!
Su Yan's���The balance on the account directly doubled the after-tax assets by nearly three times.
Nearly four hundred million dollars! but!
This money does not mean that Su Yan has completed his identity change.
Even if he has these 400 million US dollars.
He can’t be said to have become capital! after all.
Su Yan except the money.
There are only two villas and a rented studio.
The gap is still very large.
Just need to keep working hard
"Su, my mission is completed, and it’s time for me to go back. After all, my account is coming."
Wen Ziren said with a smile.
He has nothing to hide from Su Yan.
Su Yan's share of the accounts is all in hand.
His share of the accounts is coming soon.
Such a large sum of money will make him happy for a long time.
"Okay, see you later"
"If I have a new film project, I will definitely come to you to score the soundtrack"
"It’s a deal"
……
After sending away 3.4 children as director.
Su Yan returned to the recording studio.
I picked up a hard drive with a copy of the latest songs.
Head to Yankee Stadium.
This stadium is located in downtown Manhattan.
It is the home stadium of the Yankees.
Katona, MLB's publicity manager, has her temporary office here.
Su Yan came to rehearse before the game with the new song. certainly.
Singer present.
Naturally, Su Yan was not the only one.
There’s also thunder sister Lana Del Rey, and Beyoncé.
And Camila Cabello, who previously competed with Su Yan for the Best Newcomer Award on MTV.
Fans like to call her Kamei.
When Su Yan arrived.
These three stars were the only ones in the lounge.
Other celebrities also accepted the invitation.
Just like Bruno and Wiccan.
I won't come to rehearse until the evening.
Su Yan's appearance.
Let him become the focus
"Su! We met again. Katona told me before that she invited you, but I didn’t expect it to be true!"
Lana took the initiative to come up and shake hands with Su Yan.
Then Beyoncé also came up and shook hands with Su Yan.
Finally, there was Camila.
Among these three people,
Camila was the youngest..Whatever you do, you have to be ranked last.
"Sue, that song you wrote for Shakira is so beautiful!"
"《try/everything", I have been listening to this song a lot in the past two days."
Lana said with her buttocks leaning on the table.
"Lana may have only listened to this song, but"something/just/1ike/this" she sang a few days ago was also very nice."
Beyoncé said sincerely.
Lana raised her eyebrows.
She was a little unhappy with Beyoncé's trouble.
Camila said from the side.
"I listened to every song by Su"
"I also have a collection of your albums! I carry it in my backpack every day……"
