Entertainment Empire System

[I pity myself and sigh at the beauty of autumn. Who will pity me in the future? I will go with the wind tomorrow, fearing that no one will know me. --Excerpts from Autumn Meng Yin]

Alexander's voice suddenly sounded: "Mr. Ye, you are not kind. We are in a cooperative relationship now. You are directly driving a wedge between the staff of our company. Is this a plan to poach people?"

Alexander is a person of high status in Universal, and he is not an ordinary cunning person. In fact, at Alexander's level, no one is a real person, otherwise he would have been eaten up by the entertainment industry and not even a bit of scum would be left.

At this time, no matter what happened, Alexander would not easily watch Ye Ming alienate people in his company under his nose. Ye Ming didn't change at all, he still had the same lazy expression, and said with a smile: "Alexander, don't you have any confidence in your company?

There is an old saying in China that good birds choose trees to roost in. If you mean that Global is doing something authentic, then you don’t need to care about my estrangement at all. "

Alexander was actually quite surprised by this guy. He was exposed to his face, but Ye Ming actually didn't blush and his heart didn't beat. This is not the psychological quality of ordinary people.

Instead, Morgan took over and said, "You two, what you are saying is as if I am about to leave Universal. Am I going to do this?"

Naturally, it is time to show loyalty at this time. Even if Morgan is indeed not satisfied with Universal's treatment, at this time, if he does not show loyalty, Alexander will definitely be wearing his own shoes when he comes to the company. Yes, I guess I really won’t be able to survive at Universal by then.

Although Universal is not very good to itself, as for the problem, it is not a problem that you can easily change. In the entire Hollywood entertainment industry, unless you are at the top, it can be said that screenwriting is the most difficult industry to make money.

Of course, if you are marked as a screenwriter and get to that point, you can make a lot of money, but before that, you should be honest. You know, in Hollywood, there are many directors who are screenwriters themselves. Therefore, here, a screenwriter's chance of survival is much harder than that of an actor.

Actors can play small roles, just like Michelle. Although it is difficult to find supporting actresses, but no matter what, if you play small roles, you can still make ends meet by finding a few supporting roles.

Although as far as one's dream of becoming a star is concerned, in such a thing, it is indeed not very possible to realize one's dream by playing a small role, but no matter how it is, at this time, as long as the actor lowers his face and plays a small role, basically There is no problem in having enough food and clothing.

Of course, the premise is that there are no big names in the entertainment industry blocking you. For example, this guy Vin Diesel was banned. Therefore, before joining the Fast and Furious crew, it was quite difficult.

But generally speaking, screenwriters are not as easy to get along with as actors. How can I get in touch with some higher-level people in the entertainment industry at Universal? It will still have certain benefits for my future. Although the treatment is not good enough, it is not the worst. Therefore, Morgan doesn’t want to do it just because of a few jokes. , and as a result, he immediately lost his job at this time.

Now that Alexander realized what Ye Ming's purpose was, he immediately patted Morgan on the shoulder and said: "Don't be discouraged, young man, difficulties are temporary, gold will always shine, and the company will give you a chance when the time comes. , if it is said that you can make this movie well, I guarantee that I will ask the manager to give you more opportunities to show your talents."

Regardless of whether Ye Ming is deliberately wooing Morgan, this incident made Alexander see a little bit of danger. Therefore, he directly promised Morgan benefits, as long as he said that you work hard, in the future, the company will It will give you a chance to show your talents.

Morgan naturally vowed that he would do such a thing well and live up to the expectations of his leader at this time.

Although Alexander is not Morgan's direct leader, he is a leader after all. He can talk to his leader. Therefore, whether it is hypocritical or not, but whether it is stated, at this time, in fact, more is coming. Speaking, Morgan always has to express his position.

Rob Cohen said with a smile: "What are you doing? Our crew is a very united crew. Therefore, on such a matter, uniting to make this movie a success is what everyone needs." It’s none of your business. Morgan, don’t worry, the crew will give you a chance to show off your talent.”

At this time, Rob Cohen naturally understood whose position he wanted to stand. It would be a shame not to be consistent with Alexander at such a time. Morgan was also very honored to say: "Don't worry, director, I will definitely go all out to do something like this well.

At this time, I also hope that this movie will have good enough results. I have a hunch that our box office will surprise many people. "Alexander invited Ye Ming out for a walk, saying that he was inviting Ye Ming to drink coffee, but Rob Cohen and Morgan had no intention of following him.

Drinking coffee, there is no good place for Alexander to drink coffee. He must go to Ye Ming to drink coffee.

Therefore, at this time, Rob Cohen and Morgan knew very well that Alexander had something to do with Ye Ming. Otherwise, according to Alexander's current character, in such a matter, at this time, he would I don’t want to stay on the set for a second longer.

Therefore, Rob Cohen and Morgan were very wise and did not follow the past. If they followed the past, it would definitely be annoying in such a matter.

After Ye Ming came out, he said calmly: "Alexander, let's not play this empty game between us. Give me something practical. If you have anything to do with me, is Universal responsible for advertising fees?" Do you have any opinions on the matter?"

At this time, it was Alexander who became curious: "Mr. Ye, sometimes, I wonder if you have spies in our company. You know some things about our company very well.

But what you said is correct. The crew of The Fast and the Furious is indeed not favored by Universal, so our company doesn’t attach much importance to this movie. But you and Madoff are willing to invest money, and whether they make money or not, We also put it first. But in a situation like this, in fact, at this point, with so much advertising money, if I say that we are not jealous, would you believe this? "

Ye Ming shrugged his shoulders and said: "Why are spies not spies? Do we use spies for these things? How much investment does our crew have? How much advertising fees are there now? If it is said that your company is not jealous, that is a strange thing. Woolen cloth.

Therefore, regarding a question like this, there are actually some things that are very simple, more than 20 million. If it were me, I would be jealous of the woman. I already knew that Universal would have some thoughts on this money.

In fact, if it were me, I would definitely blush when asked a question like this. This is absolutely a matter of course. What I'm thinking about is not whether you will come, but when you will come back. "

Ye Ming actually knew about these advertising fees, and he knew very well that it would be strange if Universal wasn't jealous. Sometimes, there are people who file lawsuits for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Are you jealous of these tens of millions?

Do you think Universal is a charity? Alexander said with a smile: "Actually, it's almost like this. There are directors in our company who are really concerned about such a sum of money.

Of course, if there is a contract, it should be calculated as it should be. Our company is asking if this money can be used. Of course it is borrowed by our company. The company has recently released several movies. Therefore, in some places, the cost of nine is quite tight. At this time, some directors meant that since there is so much money in the crew's account, you should lend it out first. When the company becomes rich in the future, it will be returned to you in exchange. "

If you want to leave directly, then on such a matter, in fact, even Alexander is not very optimistic about such an issue. Ye Ming is not an easy person to offend. A person like this, who controls Huihuang.com and Huihuang Film and Television, has been involved in lawsuits with this person and that person, and has never bowed his head again.

Therefore, for people like Ye Ming, it is most straightforward to act in accordance with the contract. If it means not following the contract, then there is no need to think about such a matter at all.

Therefore, at this time, it is actually most appropriate to withdraw the money in the name of borrowing. But regarding this matter, Alexander and Universal's directors underestimated Ye Ming's persistence.

When Alexander said these things, Ye Ming refused directly and said: "This matter is impossible, absolutely impossible. We already have a contract as an agreement on such an issue. How can we do it?" Just make casual changes. I'm not a three-year-old child. Let me borrow it and make it clear. Mr. Alexander, your Universal company is a big company, not a small company. It is one of the eight major companies in Hollywood.

Almost as long as Hollywood has existed, Universal has been a big film company. You actually have the nerve to say this, can you borrow it? We at Huihuang.com can also borrow it. Madoff said he was short of money and could borrow it. Two flowers? If this is really the situation at that time, then what are we still doing? We can just disband. "

Rules, what are rules? It is an agreement that everyone must abide by. If the book is on this matter and someone wants to break the rules, then Ye Ming will definitely not agree to this anyway. Even if this company is Universal, they still have to resolutely reject it.

Who knows, at this time, Alexander was not surprised at all. He shrugged and said: "I have actually discussed this issue with the people on the board of directors. This is almost impossible. Mr. Ye, you will not agree to this. thing, but their guys didn’t listen, thinking that there was an opportunity to take advantage of this matter. As expected, I said you would not agree to it. Moreover, Madoff also agreed to this matter, and I If you object unilaterally, that may not be possible."

A look of astonishment flashed in Ye Ming's eyes and he said: "Madoff actually agreed. That's not right. This man is very smart. If you want to take advantage of him, it is almost impossible. He Will you agree to use the crew’s advertising fees?”

A person like Madoff is definitely a very shrewd financial expert. He created such a powerful Ponzi scheme. This is not something ordinary people can do. Moreover, Madoff was able to persist for so many years without being discovered, which is not something ordinary people can do.

Therefore, it is almost difficult to take advantage of such a person. Alexander immediately said: "You don't know this. Although Madoff is said to be a very stubborn person and many people think so, Universal has a director who has a very close relationship with Madoff. Okay, so if he comes forward and talks to Madoff, everything will be no longer a problem. Now it depends on your attitude, I think it would be better if you don't object."

Of the three investors, two are already willing. This matter seems to be relatively difficult to handle. Ye Ming snorted very resolutely and said: "You don't have to say it like this. I don't agree, but I think Madoff probably got some benefits from that director. Otherwise, then, then According to this guy's character, he would definitely not agree to it.

But all this is of no use. The decision on this matter is mine, right? That's it. According to the contract, you have the right to supervise the crew, but you can't interfere in other matters of the crew. If I don't sign, none of you can get a penny out of the crew. I can't stop the crew from spending their own money, but if they want to take out the crew's money, I definitely have the right to stop it. Otherwise, go to the bank and see if the bank will give you the money. you. "

Ye Ming knew that Hollywood was not easy to mess with, so when he agreed to invest in the crew, he had already noticed this result. He wanted a lot of rights from the crew, such as how much money the crew spent. As long as it was reasonable, these Ye Ming had no way to refuse, but if it was said that someone took money or borrowed money from the crew and Ye Ming did not agree, then these would be impossible.
