Chapter 242: Sidney Szynberg

"Are you director John Chris Deng, please?"

John took KA to the sixth floor, where Sidney Szydney Szynberg's secretary was already waiting for him outside the door.

After nodding his head to indicate that he was John Chris Deng, the secretary brought him into the office, and he finally met the big guy at Universal Pictures...... Sidney Szynberg.

"President, Director Chris Deng has arrived. The secretary brought John to his desk.

"Well...... You go out first, I won't see anyone during this time. Sidney Szynberg crossed his hands on his desk and looked at the secretary as he commanded.

"Okay. ”

The secretary nodded and turned to leave, closing the door by the way.

When he saw the door closed, Sidney Szynberg, who had been sitting behind his desk, suddenly got up from his chair, walked up to John in three steps and two steps, and bent his waist deeply. "Boss! It's an honor to meet you. ”

"Yes. ”

John nodded flatly, walked over to Sidney Szydney Szynberg's seat behind his desk, and pointed to the chair in front of his desk. "You can sit down too!"

"I'm used to standing, boss!" Sidney Szynberg stood respectfully at his desk. It's always good to be careful and respectful when dealing with people like John, and those who are arrogant are often short-lived.

"Whatever you want!" John didn't insist. Sitting comfortably in Sidney Szynberg's seat, he watched the Universal Pictures bigwig.

If this scene is seen by outsiders, it will definitely shock many people's jaws, and one of the most powerful people in Hollywood, the bigwig of Universal Pictures, is actually well-behaved like a baby in front of John.

But if someone who knows the inside story will think that this is normal, because John is Sidney Szydney Szynberg's boss, to be precise, the boss of his boss's boss.

Universal Pictures is affiliated with American Music Corporation, which in turn is affiliated with Panasonic, which in turn is affiliated with the Sumitomo Foundation, which in turn is affiliated with the Morgan Consortium.

Therefore, Sidney Sheinberg is a big man in the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of insiders, he is just a small person in the Morgan consortium, so small that he is not even qualified to enter Morgan Manor.

And John was indeed very satisfied to see Sidney Szydney Szynberg's respectful appearance, who doesn't like to be respected, but John will not forget the purpose of coming today because of Sidney Szydney Szynberg's respect.

"Do you know why I'm here?" said John, leaning back in his soft chair and staring at Sidney Szydney Szynberg, waiting for him to answer.

"Yes. ”

Sidney Szynberg hurriedly lowered his head and replied respectfully, he knew about Nancy's visit to Universal Pictures in the morning, so he was very clear about the purpose of John's trip.

"If you know, then you did it on purpose?" John's voice suddenly cooled. "I know that "Forrest Gump" is my movie, but I still have to buy the copyright, do you think I am very idle and have to get me to sit in your office?"

John was very angry, and it was okay to be robbed by outsiders, but his own subordinates were also like this, which made him a little angry, so he made a special trip to see if this daring subordinate had three heads and six arms, or if he forgot to take medicine when he was old.

"Boss, how dare I think so?" Sidney Szynberg bowed his head, looking extremely respectful. "Boss! You also know that the group has already said hello and asked us not to give you convenience, so we have not dared to help you, but this time I see that you have encountered difficulties in distribution, four of the seven major distribution companies have directly rejected you, and the most hateful thing is that there is Sony Pictures among them, and only Warner and Fox have not rejected you, but both of them want your copyright.

But I know that you don't want to sell the copyright of Forrest Gump, and I can't help you distribute it because of the group's orders, so I can only watch.

But in the end, I thought about it and finally came up with a loophole, that is, the group just didn't allow us to give you convenience, but we didn't allow you to have normal business transactions, so I decided to buy your copyright like Warner and Fox, so that everyone's bid is the same, and there is no inconvenience for the party, but then it will be different for you, Universal Pictures belongs to you, and your sale of "Forrest Gump" to Universal Pictures is actually equivalent to selling it to yourself, and in the final analysis, "Forrest Gump" is still yours. ”

Sidney Szynberg's words are reasonable, and by the way, he also pitted the bigwigs of Sony Pictures.

Sony Pictures belongs to the Sony Group, and the Sony Group belongs to the Mitsui Foundation, which in turn belongs to the Morgan Group, so among the seven major pictures, Sony Pictures and Universal Pictures are actually the properties of the Morgan Group.

But it is not that everyone will be close to each other if they belong to the same group, as long as there are people in this world, there are interests, and where there are interests, there are fights.

The Mitsui Foundation and the Sumitomo Foundation both belong to one of the RB consortiums, and the two have been fighting since the beginning of their establishment, and the struggle to merge into the Morgan Consortium after World War II has not stopped, and the reason why these two companies have been fighting like this is actually for the position of a boss.

John is not in the mood to care about the internal struggle between the two, it doesn't matter to him who is the boss, what he is most concerned about now is the distribution of "Forrest Gump", according to Sidney Szynberg's words, in fact, it is not bad to sell the copyright of "Forrest Gump" to Universal Pictures, because as Sidney Hinberg said, Universal Pictures is the property of the Morgan Group, and John's sale of "Forrest Gump" to Universal Pictures is actually a matter of taking the left hand to the right hand and changing one hand, and it is a big deal to change it back after it is uncomfortable to hold.

"Loopholes or not vulnerabilities are not up to you. John's tone softened a little, and the shift signaled his decision to do what Sidney Sheinberg had said. It's just that now there is still a question, Sidney Szydney Sinberg's loophole, whether the group recognizes it or not, if it does not recognize everything, everything is confused.

"Of course. Sidney Szynberg nodded, and immediately added. "I have already sent a letter to the group when Miss Nancy left, and I believe that the group's reply should arrive in the next few days. ”

Sidney Schinberg did not have the authority to send a letter directly to Morgan Sr., and his documents could only be sent to the American record company first, and then sent from the record company to Panasonic, one level at a time, so there might be some delay in time. However, this can't be helped, in the Morgan Group, it is not allowed to skip the level of reporting.

"When the reply arrives, remember to notify me as soon as possible. John stood up as he spoke, muttering to himself in a weak voice. "I hope those old men will be more enlightened this time. With that, he stepped out of his desk and prepared to return to Purple Star Manor, this time he came to Universal Pictures to clean up Sidney Szydney Szynberg, but now he didn't plan to do so.

"Forget it this time, I don't want this kind of thing to happen again, understand?" Although he didn't intend to clean up Sidney Sheinberg, John stopped and warned Sidney Sheinberg when he walked up to him.

No leader would like a subordinate who makes a claim without asking for advice, but John, for the sake of Sidney Szydney Szynberg's reasonableness, decided not to pursue it for the time being, but only once, and the next time he will not be so cheap.

"Understood. ”

Sidney Szynberg heard John's warning and hurriedly bowed his head in agreement, and John nodded with satisfaction when he saw that he had a good attitude and left with KA.

When John left, Sidney Szynberg sat in his place as if he had changed, with a disdainful smile on his face. "It doesn't look like JK is any better! If it weren't for the identity of the heir of the Morgan family, he would be no different from an ordinary person. ”

Sidney Szynberg sneered after speaking.

The respect he had just now, the sincerity and fear were all pretended, and even the words he said were false, and this kind of nonsense for John's sake was only used to perfunctory John, and his real purpose was for his own fame and fortune.

On the surface, it seems that he bought the copyright of "Forrest Gump" in order to save it for John, but in fact, he wanted to take advantage of John, the great god, through this matter, and at the same time let his name appear in front of the eyes of many bigwigs, so as to paint a loyal image for himself.

Secondly, "Forrest Gump" is escorted by a group of gods, and it is inevitable that it will sell well, so if you can get "Forrest Gump", it will be a golden performance, and when the time comes, there will be an image and performance, is it still a problem to be promoted?

Therefore, this kind of thing that is both famous and profitable, he will naturally take advantage of it.
