�an����Hv�7��+�d�}6psF����e4�Y{D�D|멛3ܳ�'`�Y٬ In addition to more than 600 employees, there were more than 30 newspapers and nearly 100 reporters from all over the United States.

Sitting in the middle of the first row is the reporter of the Los Angeles Times, for his family, Nie Wei of course gave the best position, and also gave enough seats, a full eight seats, which can be called the most of all newspapers tonight.

This is the first time Thomas has faced so many reporters, so it is inevitable that he is a little nervous, and he almost tripped himself when he came on the court, but fortunately, Nie Wei on the side reacted very quickly and helped him, so as not to make a big fool of him.

After the temporary host introduced Nie Wei and Thomas, who were present, Nie Wei first gave the nearly 600 employees present a promise not to adjust their positions temporarily, in exchange for the peace of mind of these employees.

And this alone is not enough, at the scene, Nie Wei also announced his next ambitions, proving that his acquisition of Max Company is not a simple investment, but really to make it bigger and stronger.

"In the next two years, I will invest at least 500 million yuan in the development of Max company, in my hands of Max company to change the previous model, so I also hope that colleagues here can adjust their mentality as soon as possible, the company is about to enter a period of rapid development, we need employees who can keep up with the pace of development of the company. ”

Speaking of this, Nie Wei deliberately paused, and after sweeping all the employees with his gaze, he said: "Employees who have fallen behind, I apologize to you in advance." ”

Nearly 600 employees were thrilled by Nie Wei's words, and at the same time trembling by Nie Wei's last warning.

Which of the young employees are naturally more excited than afraid, they have not been in Max for a short time, has not been completely infected by Max's style of only caring about small profits, not to the situation of being at ease with what they encounter, they still have ideals, I hope the company can become bigger and stronger.

Nie Wei's promise to invest in Max Films is a boost for these young employees, making their hope that has not yet been extinguished beat again.

And most of Max's old employees are a little scared.

Because they knew very well that Nie Wei's last words were meant for them to hear.

Fortunately, Nie Wei gave them time to change, so although everyone had a sad face, it was not to the point of despair.

Nie Wei then announced Thomas's appointment, and with the signing of the on-site employment contract, Thomas also became the president of Max Films.

After receiving the letter of appointment, his face was full of red, firstly because he finally sat in the president's seat, and secondly because of the big gift package that Nie Wei gave him just now.

He didn't expect that Nie Wei would have such a high initial investment in this company, that is 500 million, even if Nie Wei may exaggerate in the face of the media, but he still can't run away with two or three hundred million.

This amount has far exceeded Thomas's expectations, he originally thought that Nie Wei could give him 50 million is too much, after all, Nie Wei has just completed two acquisitions with a total price of more than 700 million in a row, and it is inevitable that he needs to calculate carefully.

Even Thomas thinks in his heart that 30 million is okay, of course, no matter how low it is, if it is lower, let alone starting new movies, even those suspended movies will not be able to continue filming normally.

So when Nie Wei gave an investment commitment of $500 million in front of reporters, Thomas only felt as if a big pie had fallen on his head.

This money can fully allow Max Films to quickly resume operation, and even if the business is good, it is not impossible for the company to go one step further and enter the ranks of Hollywood.

Thinking about bringing Max Films to the front line of Hollywood, when Nie Wei will reward himself more, and maybe reward himself with equity, Thomas can't help but be a little excited.

Later, Thomas, who has become the president, also made a speech, which was very formulaic, mainly to indicate the future development direction of the company after he became president, and some commitments to employees.

As Thomas's speech ended, it finally came the long-awaited question session for reporters.

The first to stand up and ask questions was naturally a reporter from the Los Angeles Times, and their reporters had already been instructed, so the main object of the question was Thomas, giving the president as many opportunities as possible to show his face in order to increase his influence.

"President Thomas, first of all, congratulations on becoming the president of Max Films, we all know that you used to work for Disney, what made you choose to change jobs and come to Max Films?"

When Thomas faced this question, he was very calm, and replied with a smile: "There are many reasons, the most important thing is that when Chairman Nie Wei chatted with me, he confided some of his own opinions on the film company, which were also very in line with my own expectations, so I was willing to come to such a strange environment, in order to create a film company that Chairman Nie Wei and I expected." ”

After Thomas finished speaking, he didn't forget to smile at the reporter who was holding the camera to take a picture of him, this smile is perfect both from the angle and the natural degree, after all, Thomas has been practicing at home for a whole day for this smile that will make headlines tomorrow.

"Now that you've mentioned a desired studio, what are the characteristics of a studio?" the reporter continued.

"First of all, that is strength, I expect my staff to have enough professional knowledge, because only a professional team can make professional and high-quality films!"

"The second is to maintain continuous creativity, the film industry, is to maintain creativity, there will be the possibility of upward development, I hope Max Films will become a young company full of youthful vitality. ”

"Last but not least, that's equality, and we at Max Films are committed to treating directors, actors, and even staff members from any country, of any race, of any color, and that we as a company are the most basic. ”

With Thomas's speech, there was a round of warm applause from the audience, especially those Asian Americans and blacks, who were particularly enthusiastic.

You must know that Hollywood film companies seem to give everyone an equal opportunity, but few can do it, black people are actually okay, after all, they are united enough in the United States, and there are many famous black actors in the Hollywood circle, these companies will somewhat estimate the impact.

But when it comes to Asians, Hollywood's discrimination has never stopped.

For a while, Asian-American actors even played villains, and most of them were petty thieves, or chefs.

Few screenwriters create a major role for an Asian-American actor, and Asian-American actors will always be at the bottom of Hollywood.

The promise made by Max Films, represented by Thomas, will undoubtedly have a very big impact, because the big boss of this company, Nie Wei, is a Chinese, and everyone may not believe the promises of others, but Nie Wei, as a Chinese, believes that many people will choose to believe his promises.

After all, very few people would discriminate against their race and skin color, except for CS.

The Los Angeles Times' questions gave a wave of good publicity to the new presidents, Thomas and Max Films, but the rest of the newspapers were not as friendly as the Los Angeles Times' questions, and their questions were all aimed at Thomas and Nie Wei's weaknesses without hesitation.

"Hello Mr. Nie, I'm a reporter from the New York Times, I would like to ask, do you have the confidence to run a Hollywood film company, although I know that you already have a very successful film company in China, but Hollywood and the Chinese film market are different. ”

"I know what you mean, and you have to make it clear that the actual operation is in charge of the president next to me, Thomas, who has worked in Hollywood for 20 years, and I believe he probably knows the rules of the game in Hollywood better than all the reporters here. Nie Wei faced the reporter's questioning and directly raised Thomas to reply.

After he said this, the reporter who asked the question suddenly felt speechless.

After all, what Nie Wei said is completely true, Thomas has indeed worked in Hollywood for 20 years, and his understanding of Hollywood is indeed better than all the reporters present.

However, this group of reporters will not give up their attack so easily, seeing that Nie Wei is not easy to deal with, they aimed their guns at Thomas again, in the current situation, of course, they have to pick soft persimmons.

"Mr. Thomas, this is your first time in the position of president, do you have a clear idea of how the president should exercise the power in his hands?"

Thomas was stunned when asked, which was indeed one of his few weaknesses, but when he came back to his senses, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and then he smiled confidently at the reporter who asked the question.

"It's really my first time as a president, but I'm very confident that I can do a good job, after all, I have a best role model around me, I'm sure many people will agree with me, Nie Wei is one of the best presidents in the world, with him to teach me, I think I will be able to adapt quickly and play my own energy in this position. ”

The reporter who asked the question was dumbfounded, when he attacked Nie Wei just now, Nie Wei brought out Thomas and scolded the reporter, and now they attacked Thomas, Thomas lifted Nie Wei out again, and scolded them again.

That's too good at playing, isn't it?

The reporters who were scolded twice in a row finally relented, and the next questions were not so sharp, hello to each other, hello everyone, Thomas and Nie Wei were also willing to break the news to the reporters present, and finally after a few episodes, the one-hour press conference ended smoothly.

The reporters all received small gifts from Max Films at the end of the show, and the reporters who had been in a happier mood because the interview went well, thinking that they might be able to write more reports to express the news in more detail.

And Nie Wei and Thomas did not leave the company, but came to the president's studio, which had long been emptied.

Thomas hesitated for a long time, and finally asked Nie Wei how much the start-up capital promised at the press conference would arrive.

"Now the company should have 50 million funds in its account, you can use this money to renovate the company, and at the same time, those crews that have stopped work can also use this money to let them continue to work, and those movies are good or bad, since they have done half of it, then try to complete them. ”

"As for the five hundred million I said, it's just a basic number, and there could be more, you know, I'm not a person who likes to talk about it. ”

Nie Wei's words made Thomas's eyes red, five hundred million, and there may be more, he is really going to be lucky.

But before he could get excited for two seconds, Nie Wei's next words immediately made him vigilant.

"I will invest money, but it also depends on the results you make, don't forget that our employment contract is only signed for one year, this year is your probationary period, if you do well, the company has made achievements, then the next contract I will give you a long-term contract, and will also give you better treatment and rewards, higher wages, higher bonuses, higher income dividends, and even shares. ”

Hearing the word 'shares', Thomas took a breath, this is what he longs for the most, with shares, his identity is no longer just a simple worker, he will also become one of the bosses of this company.

"Of course, if you don't do a good job, my investment will be wasted......"

"Promise not, I swear, I'll run this company well and won't waste a penny on you. Thomas didn't wait for Nie Wei to finish speaking, and immediately raised his hand and swore.

Nie Wei didn't have anything to emphasize, anyway, the prospect that should be promised to Thomas had already been told to him, and it would take time to determine what he was going to do next, and to do that step.

Early the next morning, the news about Nie Wei's acquisition of Max Films and Thomas becoming the president of Max Films appeared on the front pages of major newspapers, and the news on the Internet was already overwhelming.

Especially with the fact that "The Martian" is on the air, Nie Wei, the director and actor, is at the peak of his popularity, and this news has sparked heated discussions in the United States.

Nie Wei's fans naturally have a supportive attitude, but most of them are in the mood of watching the excitement, and of course, there are a small number of people who are 'worried about the country and the people', thinking that Nie Wei, a foreign capital, entered the United States to earn the hard-earned money of the American people.

Of course, there are also some people who are in a bad mood because of these reports.

For example, Disney executive Jace, he couldn't imagine that the guy who was always against him would turn into the president of another Hollywood film company, and his status was instantly more than one layer higher than him.

There is also Disney's president Iger, who knew the news earlier, but knowing it early does not mean that he will feel better, but because of this news, he has been so angry that he can't eat for several days and can't sleep well.

Because he felt that he had been tricked, and he was tricked by Nie Wei and Thomas together.

He was so angry that he even smashed his beloved teapot for it, but he used means to really take revenge, but Iger didn't do it.

Because Thomas's identity is completely different, he is not Thomas, an executive of Disney, he is no longer an employee under himself, but the president of a Hollywood company, and this Hollywood company is not weak, and there is a big backer behind it.

If he rashly retaliates against Thomas, it will not be just a personal vendetta between Iger and Thomas, but a struggle between Disney and Max Films, which will affect too many people, even if he is the president of Disney, I am afraid that the board of directors will not allow his behavior.

This made Egger feel very angry, but very powerless, and as a result, after three consecutive nights of poor sleep, Egger caused his mouth to speak because he was on fire all the time, and he really couldn't even eat.

At this time, Nie Wei had already left the United States by plane, and he was going to return to China to participate in the celebration banquet of "The Martian" box office exceeding one billion yuan.
