As with any large company, there will inevitably be a corporate culture and office politics.

Even a small company with less than 10 people will have disputes, let alone a large company with thousands of employees, more than one square kilometer of land in downtown Hollywood, and assets of more than one billion yuan in dozens of studios.

For almost more than $600 million, he can buy 50 percent of Fox's shares, and it can be said that Murdoch is making a lot of money.

He sold Fox for 70 billion in the future, and also forgave more than 10 billion debts, with a total price of 85 billion, how many times did he earn!

Now we can only sell Fox for more than a billion, and the key reason is that the copyright calculations in all aspects are biased from later generations.

Therefore, more than a billion is just a cheap price.

Such a large company is destined to be full of mountains and is still in turmoil, and the complex struggle in it is simply not something that a layman like Jonas can get involved in.

Yannick didn't mention this to Jonas, preferring to teach Jonas in a frustration education way, so he showed that he didn't care about Jonas.

But Macridge was afraid that Jonas would not know the sky and be used by others after arriving in the United States, so he reminded him.

Needless to say, Jonas knew this too. After all, he is not a simple Jonas, but also an old soul who has worked in hundreds of thousands of state-owned enterprises for eleven years.

Therefore, he is unwilling to be used by Alain Ryder, so he has to show that he doesn't care about the fate of the script at the beginning.

Which of these scripts to shoot first, which to shoot later, or not to shoot, which person to use as the producer, and which person to use as the director, will involve complex struggles.

Gallant had just talked about the review of the script and discussing it with Jonas was just a trick on him, so he immediately made his attitude clear and didn't want to get involved.

He is not a staff member of Fox, and he has not taken a penny now, and he doesn't want to interfere in the preparation of the film, whether it starts filming or not.

But since he has done this job, it is impossible not to express his opinion at all, before he makes a statement, he must first make it clear that he only discusses the script itself, and cannot use his attitude as a bargaining chip against others.

Among the others, even Yannick was included.

If they want to invest more, they can take Jonas' advice. Your son is in favor of making this movie, can you, a father, not support it?

At that time, Yannick naturally needed to take into account Jonas's attitude.

So, Jonas had to make it clear first.

Maybe it's because Fox is in turmoil now, and Alain Ryder doesn't have much to worry about, so he also directly expressed his attitude.

This is not a statement made by two people in private, but in front of four subordinates, so this statement can be said to be quite formal.

Of course, if there is an opportunity to borrow Jonas, he will definitely not let it go. No one will be so honest and say that if you don't pit, you won't pit, that's a saint.

As long as Jonas gets involved, it will definitely be used.

In other words, who can not be used? Being able to be used also shows that there is value in being used.

The two of them straightened their attitudes again, and Jonas said a little conservatively: "Today's conversation, I hope to be limited to the discussion of the script, even if I participate in the discussion, there is only one purpose, to turn the script into a movie more smoothly." ”

Alain Ryder nodded and did not speak. It was Gallant who took over and said, "That's what all of us are aiming for. ”

Jonas said: "As you know about the Terminator, I've pretty much changed the script and the storyline a lot better. However, it will take a long time for some of the scripts that have not yet been made into scripts to become movies.

The film was very difficult, especially in terms of special effects, because of the low investment, it was impossible to make a costly model like Star Wars. So how to make the least effort to make the desired picture requires an insightful director. ”

Hearing this, Alain Ryder asked, "Jonas, can I understand that you think this is a movie full of personality, like Lucas vs. Star Wars?"

Jonas hesitated for a moment before replying, "I haven't met the original screenwriter and I don't know the process of writing the script, although we have many common understandings of the same work. ”

If Jonas can revise the script, it will naturally give others this feeling, but he still has to be conservative. If he insists now that only Cameron can make this movie, it will be a joke, and he will not be able to climb out of the pit.

"I can arrange a coordination meeting, and in fact, the original creator really wants to meet you, because your changes to the script make him think that he has met a confidant. ”

Nonsense, the script was changed from the movie made by Cameron secretly, and it completely shows what Cameron wants to express, which will naturally resonate with him.

Jonas nodded. "Yes, but it's better to schedule it tomorrow, because only tomorrow will I have the most time. ”

Alain Ryder groaned for a moment and said to Michelle, "You go and contact Cameron, and if he has time, let him come over now." ”

Jonas will only be in Los Angeles for three days, with tomorrow off, and the day after tomorrow he will be flying to Boston, from where he will return to Europe, so it is better to arrange a meeting as soon as possible in order to prevent accidents.

Jonas also had no problem with this, saying: "We will put the discussion on "Terminator" on hold for the time being, and we will talk about it when Cameron comes, what is the opinion of the other two film financing departments?"

Gallant smiled bitterly. "Jonas, I have to say, you've got a problem for us. Have you noticed that these three scripts are all very personalized scripts? The script of "The Terminator" was written by James Cameron and his girlfriend in order to become a director himself. Almost all film companies don't dare to touch this messy script, and it's only because you have revised and improved it that we can see the shining point of this movie.

And the movie "Back to the Future" is even more problematic, this is a script written by USC graduate Robert Zemmy Jones, who also wrote this script to become a director himself. Unlike Cameron, he has experience as a director, and it's hard to believe that he is a newcomer.

Moreover, in the script, there is a plot where the protagonist crosses over and then falls in love with his own mother, which is contrary to today's ethics, so this script is very dangerous. ”

At this time, Michelle returned to his seat and nodded to everyone, apparently having contacted Cameron.

Gallant was not disturbed by him, and continued: "Regarding "Dragon Fist Kid", it is in line with today's world conditions and has enough shining points, but the plot about Dongying is easy to touch the glass hearts of Americans. ”

The current Dongying is like the motherland of later generations, which is regarded as the biggest threat by the Americans, and the people of Dongying are still clamoring to buy the entire United States, which is even more unacceptable to the Americans.

Of course, they don't have enough background, the country is too small, and the resources are too few. Two years later, a Plaza agreement directly put their economy into recession for 30 years, and it can be regarded as allowing them to reap the consequences.

Jonas said: "Actually, I am also disgusted by this plot, and this script has a flavor of promoting karate, which naturally makes it difficult for Americans to accept." What if it was changed to Chinese kung fu? The role of the gardener could be set up as Chinese, such as Bruce Lee's master?"

Bruce Lee's status in the hearts of Americans is still relatively high, and as a promoter of Chinese kung fu, he is considered a real sportsman by Americans.

Alain Ryder nodded and said, "That's a good idea, it's worth considering." ”

Jonas smiled: "The main reason why I chose this script is that the single mother and son in it depend on each other, showing the deep affection between mother and child, as well as the transfer students, the self-confidence and self-reliance of children from single families, which is very in line with the national conditions of the United States today."

And the protagonist relies on practicing kung fu to regain his self-confidence, and because of this, he gets love, which can make ordinary American young people feel the joy of ordinary people's counterattack. As for what kind of kung fu you practice, it doesn't matter. ”

Michelle, a young woman, suddenly laughed and said, "Jonas, in fact, I found that if you play this Daniel, the movie will definitely be a big hit!"

Jonas was stunned for a moment, he had never thought of making movies, although he now had his own acting skills.

How much money can an actor make? In business, you can make endless money with any investment.

Hearing Michelle's words, Alain Ryder's eyes lit up. "Jonas, listening to Michelle say this, I also think you are really the foundation of a big star. You're handsome enough and have a mature ...... that doesn't belong to young people."

Jonas didn't know if it was Michelle's whim, or if they were premeditated, and they wouldn't have accepted the suggestion anyway.

He directly interrupted Alain Ryder's words and said: "There is no need to continue this topic, I have never considered acting in a movie. ”

Alain Ryder shrugged his shoulders and laughed, "Then I can only say that I regret it." ”

Indeed, with Jonas's family background, if he is not interested, he does not need to act in movies at all. The income of film actors today is not as high as that of later generations, and the real income is singers.

Gallant continued what he had just said: "If karate is changed to Chinese kung fu, it can indeed avoid some of the risks. However, I noticed that you suggested that the director of "Rocky" should be the director of this film, what is the reason?"

Because the mother-son relationship on the surface of this movie is actually a mother's counterattack and a son's counterattack. My mother came to Los Angeles from the East Coast because of a job change, and from an ordinary clerk to a department head, it was the realization of an American dream.

And the son has become a strong man from a bullied object by learning kung fu, which is also in line with the expectations of young people. The director of "Rocky" is very good at controlling the rhythm in this regard, Rocky's movie is actually very empty in content, and it can be successful, except because the starring role is Stallone, mainly because the director controls the rhythm of the counterattack very well, so that the audience is moved and intoxicated by the protagonist's life. ”

Alain Ryder couldn't help but ask, "Jonas, you haven't been exposed to movies, why are you able to control the highlights of movies so accurately?"
