With Bill McNick, Donn's job is a lot easier. Unless he pays special attention, all the big things in Donn Pictures are handed over to Bill McNick.

At this time, Don was sitting in his office, looking at a fax report from New York.

Scott Swift has a shot!

In the six days from February 4th to February 9th, he "borrowed" 10.86 million Yahoo shares from 13 securities institutions with an average stock price of $367.4, 20 times leverage, and $200 million in margin, and successfully shorted.

On February 14th, the market restarted on Monday, and Yahoo stock opened directly at $173.5, and the general trend has been achieved!

Today's Internet companies are still in a frenzied stage of development.

In the latest issue, it was reported that in a month and a half of 2000, a total of 489 venture capital firms injected $9.8 billion into 783 emerging Internet companies.

And just a few days ago, a website awarded a contestant $10 million to a participant in a CBS reality show!

Although Yahoo stock plummeted by 50%, the entire technology stock is still favored by Wall Street, and the Nasdaq index continues to climb steadily.

Don has told Scott Swift that at the beginning of next month, he can make a decisive move and make a decisive move against Microsoft, Cisco, AOL, Dell, Oracle, Amazon and other high-tech stocks.

"Dangdang!"

Reese Witherspoon knocked on the door and walked in, she was dressed in a delicate beauty dress, which set off her figure well, "MA agency, didn't give us a response. Don, we offended MA because of Bruce Willis, will they refuse to cooperate?"

Tang En thought for a moment, "Probably not, they're not that stupid! What's more, the big name, any brokerage company has to be tempted!"

A large part of Donn Pictures' money has been invested in Soderbergh's films, and the project will not be approved until at least April.

However, the selection of the director made the production department very entangled.

Just like that, the fantasy of the grand special effects scene gave everyone a headache. And it hasn't been released yet, so no one knows what kind of picture it can present.

In the final analysis, computer special effects technology has just emerged, and there are very few directors who really dare to create and challenge new technologies.

Only three names were given in the production department – Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, Robert Zemeckis.

Steven Spielberg is preparing a new movie, and he also has to supervise the upcoming World War II-themed TV series, which has no schedule;

James Cameron is actively preparing for his "Sea Rescue" project, which is expected to be officially established in the summer, and there is no time;

Robert Zemeckis is a special effects maniac who is actively researching digital motion capture technology, and has invested in the "Robert Zemeckis Center for Digital Art" in USC to develop new digital technologies.

However, Robert Zemeckis made and two films in 1999, he was too tired and wanted to take a break for two years, and he has no intention of taking on a film at present.

In the end, the puzzle was handed over to Don.

Soon, a familiar name flashed through Don's mind - Ang Lee.

This is a director who amazes Hollywood, he doesn't understand computer technology, but he has the spirit of perseverance and innovation. Although it has been questioned, the film's creative shooting at 120 frames per second, 4K resolution, and 3D stereoscopic effects is enough to prove that he has the concept of persistent pursuit of advanced technology.

Looking at the whole of Hollywood, except for those big guys, Ang Lee is the only director that Don can think of that can be competent.

Don had some friendship with Peter Jackson, and when the time came, he arranged for Ang Lee to visit and study post-production, which was enough for him to conceive the colors of the fantasy world in his mind.

At that moment, there was another knock on the office door, and Ella Fisher, Don's other female secretary, opened a crack in the door and sneaked in to take a look.

Tang En said angrily: "What are you doing?

Ella Fisher grinned, "I thought you were ...... I'm afraid to disturb your good deeds. ”

Reese Witherspoon glared at her, "Something!"

Ella Fisher snorted, ignoring her cold expression at all, and walked directly around Donne's large desk, walked over and sat on Donn's lap, her hands hooked around his neck, "The adaptation copyright is here." ”

"Oh. ”

Don glanced at Reese and saw that she had slammed the door and left in a huff. There are some headaches, there can be more assistants to deal with work, and secretaries to deal with administration, one is really enough.

"Aren't you happy?" said Ella Fisher, giving Don a strange look.

Don shook his head, "It's okay." ”

At the beginning of the year, Donn told the production department to buy the rights to the musical "Chicago". He even told Mel Gibson that he wanted to collaborate on a movie, that is.

But after talking to Bill McNick, he changed his mind.

If nothing else, Universal Pictures will not be able to acquire it this year, and the next opportunity will be until two years later, Vivendi Group will lose a huge amount.

In order to make up for the shortcomings of his lack of qualifications, Don has already thought about it, according to Bill McNick, in the past two years, he will focus on the Oscars!

Although he also won the Oscar for Best Picture, Don calculated that if he filmed this year, he would definitely not win the Oscar for Best Picture!

Filmed in 2000, released in 2001, and awarded in March 2002...... However, in 2001, a major change occurred - the 911 incident.

This incident has brought indelible damage to the hearts of the American people, and the next Oscars will never let a crime-themed song and dance film win the award, and the judges need a warm film to heal the psychological wounds of the United States.

So, Don has changed his mind, and he decided to shoot the film that Don Pictures had been interested in last year——。

Plans never change as fast as they do.

Don has understood this several times, but don't miss it!

He has given Manola Dagis the task of organizing a team of screenwriters to rewrite the biography according to his ideas. At the same time, Russell Crowe has accepted the invitation of Done Pictures to join forces with Nicole Kidman to star in this film.

Of course, it is impossible for Don to start this project immediately, on the one hand, because Tang En Pictures does not have enough funds, and on the other hand, the total box office of the films he produced and directed is only 3.72 billion US dollars, and there is still 280 million US dollars left before he can activate the "mirror possession" again.

This will have to wait until after the release.

"Boss, Reese has made several movies now, when will I have a chance?" Ella Fisher looked at Don pitifully.

"The small supporting role is easy to do, and the starring role is ...... It will take a few more years after you are mature enough. ”

"Huh, I'm so bored. Ella Fisher pursed her lips.

Don blinked and remembered something, "By the way, I remember you were a writer and published two books?"

"Yes, it was published in '96, but ...... The sales were not very good, so I didn't write about it. Ella Fisher sighed, a little unwilling.

"What type?"

"Romance. Ella Fischer pursed her lips, "My mom is a very successful romance writer, and I have been trained a lot since I was a child. ”

Tang En nodded, and suddenly smiled, "Do you want to go back to your old business?"

Ella Fisher's eyes widened, "You mean...... Write?"

Tang En smiled: "Yes, you are so idle at work, your mind is on competing with Reese for favor, it is better to be busy, and you can realize your dream of being a writer." ”

"Who's competing for favor?" Ella Fisher gave him a delicate look, but leaned a little closer to Donn's arms, looking up at him, "But my mother said my story structure was too old-fashioned. ”

"None of that matters, by the way, how is your writing?" Don patted her on the waist.

"Surely!" said Ella Fisher confidently.

"That's it!" Don hugged her head and kissed her on the red lips, "I tell the story, you can enrich the details, figure out the logic, and assemble it into a book." ”

"You tell a story?" Ira Fisher looked at him in amazement.

Don smiled: "yes, why, you don't believe in my screenwriting ability?"

"No, no, no, of course not. ”

Ira Fisher certainly believed that Donn's ability to make up stories could be seen from his adaptation, creation and other scripts, and she hesitated, "Do you want me to be your gunman?"

Don laughed, "What nonsense? In the author column, sign our names, you are in the front, and I am in the back!"

"Huh? really?"

Ella Fisher looked at him in surprise.

"Of course it's true, I'm a big boss, is it necessary to coax you into a little secretary?" Don winked at her quickly a few times, and lowered his voice, "You little vixen, you have successfully teased me again!"

Ella Fisher felt the strangeness under him, the corners of her mouth hooked, she threw a charming wink, her body slid down like a mermaid, knelt in front of him, and suddenly asked, "How to divide the remuneration?"

"Half of one person. ”

"Slam the door, it's still the big boss!" Ella Fisher snorted and turned her head away.

Tang En was a little helpless, "That's it, the remuneration below one million belongs to you, and we will share the remuneration of more than one million equally!"

"So much?" Ella Fisher was stunned for a moment, "what the hell is the story?"

“。 ”

The corners of Donn's mouth curled slightly, and then he half-narrowed his eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief.
