"I thought I could save the world when I was a kid, but in the end, I realized that the world couldn't save myself either. Later, I was busy supporting my family, earning money, and working hard to earn money, and in Hollywood, I did almost any film and television-related work, costumes, props, art, screenwriting, actors, drama and other jobs. But when I retired, I realized that it didn't really matter.

The whole thing was like the shackles of life, and I was firmly chained. Later, my children let me enjoy Qingfu in New York, go to ******, Lao Tzu wants to live for himself for a few years, I came to open this fast food restaurant, every day I like to sell as much as I want, even if KFC is opposite me, I am not afraid, in the whole street, I have survived three McDonald's, two KFC, this is the third KFC rice.

Therefore, now I understand that people are to be content. Columbus, Warner Bros. is not very content. ”

Old John said this unhurriedly as he packed up his things. It was the summary of Old John's life, if business is not to make money but to pass the time, then in such a situation, it is fearless.

There's nothing to fear you, and that's what makes old John happy. Columbus reluctantly lost: "Dear John, I am in a different situation from you now, I have a large family to support, if I don't make a movie, then what do you say my family eats and drinks, waiting for the US government to help?"

I used to want to quit, but I couldn't bear the result, I had no reason not to do it, and I couldn't find a reason to convince myself. ”

When he said this, Columbus also seemed quite helpless, some things, in fact, are not something he can control. Some people sometimes just have to do something different from their ideals and hopes.

And at this moment, Ye Ming said with a smile: "If you want a reason, then I can give you one, you may be able to convince yourself, the reason for looking for a job can be said to be to support your family, to show your talent and other reasons." In fact, if you say resignation, there is only one reason, the world is so big, I want to see it. ”

Old John was stunned, he glanced at Ye Ming and said, "Young man, it's quite open." ”

Columbus was also in a state of shock, he had also found a reason for himself to resign before, but it was useless, and there were countless reasons why he could not resign. Now Ye Ming gave him a reason for this. It's also very weird, the world is so big, my idol went to see it. Columbus pondered for a moment and said, "This can convince me that maybe, one day, if I really have had enough of Warner Bros., I will really use such a reason to go and see." That's it, nothing else. Gone, Ye Ming. Thank you for giving me a reason for your request. The people on the board will give you an answer very quickly. ”

Before Columbus left with some interest, Ye Ming immediately said: "Columbus, let me ask you something, how old is your child?" Columbus was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously said: "The son is sixteen, and the daughter is only twelve years old." What's wrong?"

Ye Ming immediately said: "Actually, the reason for the resignation I said is just that it is suitable for two kinds of people, one is childless, willful, and if you want to go and see it, you can go and see it." Anyway, the world is so big, you can go wherever you like to see it.

The other is the kind of old John who has really grown up, retired, and loves to play how he wants. Like you, you have to struggle for at least ten or eight years, and when your daughter can grow up, no one cares about you wherever you like.

Now, do your directing work with peace of mind, right?"

Ye Ming didn't want to say this, but seeing that Columbus was really attentive, he had to say such a reason for such a problem.

After all, if Columbus really resigned because of his own words, the world is so big, I want to see it. This is the most irresponsible and capricious reason for resignation, and when the time comes, Ye Ming will feel that it is a little misleading to Columbus.

After Columbus left, Old John said, "Emmerich, look at who you brought, Ye Ming, you are a little slippery head, you almost got Columbus in." The world is so big, I want to see it?

Yes, in fact, when I was retired, that's what I thought, whatever, I just wanted to see it. But you're not kind, you said it like this, and you said it in a situation like this.

You seem to be busier than Emmerich. Why don't you take a look yourself? ”

Old John is worthy of being an old fox, and he immediately saw Ye Ming's trap.

Ye Ming shrugged his shoulders and said innocently: "Didn't I come to see it?" Hollywood, I'm already starting to like this place now, but I don't know if this place likes me." ”

At this time, Old John nodded and said: "This is up to your own ability, if you can make achievements, Hollywood will not be stingy to recognize you, come on, young man, even MGM is from a small company, well, to be honest, I like MGM, now his stock is already very high, and my stock has earned almost a third." It's a lot more circular than me selling fast food. ”

Ye Ming was stunned, he glanced at Old John and said, "You actually have MGM stocks in your hand, I think you should get rid of this thing as soon as possible, right?"

These words made old John stunned: "Get rid of it, why, young man, don't you know that MGM, one of the eight major Hollywood film companies, a company known as the king of Hollywood, such a company is held for a long time, why, I will get rid of it." ”

This is what Old John doesn't understand, in such a situation, he himself fully proves a problem, that is, the status of MGM in the hearts of Hollywood people in such a matter is beyond Ye Ming's measurement.

So, when it comes to MGM, it's almost the history of Hollywood. At this time, Ye Ming thought about it and said, "I know that MGM has increased its price now, but such a price increase is just a hypocritical phenomenon."

In one such case, they pull up the stock in order to make a better sale.

Alex, the president of MGM, is used to this method to increase the leverage of his company?

He's going to get MGM a high stock price, and then get MGM off. Now MGM's debt is quite strong, just in a situation like this. Things were suppressed. ”

Old John suddenly had a spirit in his eyes, glanced at Ye Ming, and said curiously: "I won't say whether this news is true or not, such insider news is not available to everyone in Hollywood, why did you get such news." How can you be so sure that MGM will be sold? ”

Ye Ming said very seriously: "This kind of thing is very simple, that is, in such a situation, the real boss of MGM is the casino tycoon Corkrian. This guy is a natural adventurer, and there is such a boss as the boss, you say, is it possible that this thing is true? Casino tycoon Corkerian, I think you know a lot about this person, right?"

Emmerich said on the side: "There are really some problems with this matter, where did you know this news?" I don't think any of this would be known to the top management at MGM. ”

The key is the source of the news, if it is said that on such a question, there is no problem for Ye Ming to be from Hollywood, but he is a Chinese, and Chinese people actually know Hollywood well, this question has to be said to make Emmerich feel strange.

Ye Ming shrugged his shoulders and said: "Don't forget that I am the president of Brilliant Network, this matter is naturally someone who has said it, but I am in various advertising movies." Videos and so on and so forth, between these news clues to see some of the things like this.

If you think about it, it's like this. There's nothing unexpected about it. I don't deny the greatness of MGM, but at this time, MGM actually had early signs, such as how Alex ascended to the throne of MGM's president?

He was Corkrian's deputy at the beginning, and now he is Michael's boss, so he naturally wants to make money for Corkrian. How to make money and how to come, even if it is said to be in the appearance. Alex wants to sell MGM the same. ”

Hearing Ye Ming's explanation, it is reasonable, Alex is indeed a deputy of Corkrian, and Corkrian asked Alex to come. At this time, it also fully proves a problem, that is, in such a situation, he does have some intentions for MGM, and even whether MGM is making a movie, he may not care about it.

Emmerich glanced at Old John, nodded and said: "Old John, it seems to be very normal for this kid Ye Ming to say this, after all, it means that the recent changes in the top management of MGM are relatively frequent, if you are entering it steadily at this time, then you should also pay attention to this matter." While you're making money, sell your MGM shares directly. ”

Since they are friends, Emmerich also reminded Old John very cautiously on such a question.

Old John nodded solemnly and said, "Speaking of which, Corkrian, this guy is not a philanthropist, he really did this kind of thing. ”

Old John is still very cautious, he doesn't think Ye Ming knows these news, but Ye Ming is so swearing, plus this guy Corkrian, he is not a good man and a woman in the rich circle, so what Ye Ming said is actually a certain possibility.

After coming out, Emmerich was a little heavy, he glanced back at Ye Ming and said, "You kid give me a word of truth, are these things true, MGM, where will the former king of Hollywood go?"

In fact, Emmerich already believed Ye Ming's words, after all, some incredible things have happened at MGM recently, these things, if it is said that there is no problem in other small companies, but if it is said that it happened in a large company like MGM, it is indeed a bit incredible.

Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "There will be no problem in the short term, at least if MGM says the problem, it must first give the outside a stable illusion and raise its stock price, and the people on the board of directors will sell their own stocks one after another to recover some losses."

But these are all performances for others to see. If there is no accident, in two or three years, the MGM board of directors, or Corkrian, will deal with MGM's problems, and perhaps, the next Columbia Pictures will be MGM's end, who can say clearly. Of course, if it is said that there is other capital involved in this process everywhere, then maybe what I said is wrong. ”

In 2005, Sony acquired MGM, which has a long history and became part of the Sony Group, along with Columbia Pictures.

In the end, MGM went bankrupt in 210 and became a mess that no one wanted to take over, which has to be said to be a very big irony for Hollywood.

But now, at least for now, in the United States, in Hollywood, no one will believe that MGM has come this far.

Therefore, even if it is said that what Ye Ming said is very true, it seems to be true, but Old John and Emmerich don't believe it very well, which is too unbelievable.

While getting into the car, Emmerich said to Ye Ming: "This is really unbelievable, I can't believe that such a thing will happen." Is the MGM empire really going to end up with Columbia Pictures? If that's the case, then Corklian is the sinner of history. ”

Ye Ming said with great certainty: "Corklian is not a sinner in history, he is just a businessman, and this guy is a casino tycoon, gambling is his favorite, he likes to gamble in the mall, MGM, in fact, is just one of his chips, since his deputy Alex became the president of MGM some time ago, this matter has actually been in Corkrian's plan, this is just a business game."

If MGM was more valuable to Corkerian, he wouldn't do that, but now it seems that Corkerian didn't really believe that MGM would bring him more. Selling MGM is also a very normal thing. (To be continued.) )
