Once upstairs, Jack began to introduce Evan one by one. [with _ dreams] еng

"This layer is in use for AA, and the current development of AA is very good, and the scale has expanded a lot compared to the beginning. Now we have 16 full-time agents, serving more than 00 actors, screenwriters, directors and other Hollywood artists. Alas, speaking of which, the brokerage business is booming, and the reason for this was exactly what you said last year...... I didn't expect Paramount to really lose the lawsuit!"

"This floor is the DreamWorks office, where people from the communications, finance, legal, and logistics teams work here. By the way, that's my office. ”

"On the upper floor are the recording studio, the editing room, the projection room. Do you want to go up and have a look?"

Evan is a shareholder in DreamWorks and AA, but today is his first presence in both companies.

As soon as he talked about it, Jack couldn't help but start complaining. DreamWorks didn't forget it, after all, when he invited Evan to join him, he was already reluctant. But AA was true to Evan's request, and Jack fulfilled the agreement, but Evin himself almost forgot about it.

"Looks decent," Evan said...... "You don't need to go up, go to your office and sit down." ”

Jack's office is a lot of space, and because it is not very well planned and there are few decorations, it seems a little empty.

Evan looked at this place where there was no artistic atmosphere at all, sat down on the brown leather sofa casually, and couldn't help but comment: "Jack, as the general manager of the company's office, is this too casual? ”

"You're not the first person to say that. Jack looked normal and sat down across from Evan: "However, I can't help it, we are just a small company, we don't have enough money, we have to concentrate on filmmaking, we can't get these façades." ”

"It doesn't feel like it's said by a guy who works in Hollywood," Evan said. As far as I know, many of them wear the best suits, drink the most delicious red wine, and smoke the best cigars, even a second before they go bankrupt. ”

Jack shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "There are always exceptions, and I happen to be one of them." ”

Evan smiled and said, "I like people who can go above and beyond." ”

In the next second, Evan abruptly changed the topic and said, "Okay, don't talk about that." ”

"Jack, now you can tell me what you called me for?"

Jack nodded, "Since you're so impatient, then okay......"

"Please come here, there are two main things. ”

"The first thing is, it's almost the end of the year, and I, as the general manager, would like to introduce you to the company's operations......"

Evan frowned when he heard this, and interrupted: "These things, you just summarize the report and hand it to Carl, there is no need to say it in person." ”

Jack said, "Well, I think you'd better listen, or I'll think you're too incompetent as a shareholder......"

Evan thought for a moment, and since he had come here, he would listen to it, "It's okay, you try to be as brief as possible." ”

"Is it that you have lost too much money and need to inject capital? To be honest, if it is for this purpose, you don't have to make such a hassle. ”

"No, it's not!" Jack shook his head, indicating that Evan had thought about it, "The company didn't lose money, but it got some money back." ”

"Forget it, I'll start reporting. ”

"First of all, the studios, DreamWorks just started this year, and only made two films, one in July and seven in November, both of which were not big productions, with an average production cost of about $200,000, but we were lucky enough to attract a lot of people to the cinema. Among them, there may be a big Hollywood studio that has been involved in the Paramount case and the 'blacklist' turmoil, which has led to a decline in production, and let us pick up a cheap reason. In any case, these two projects not only did not fail because the company tested the waters, but also made a lot of money. ”

Speaking of this achievement, Jack couldn't help but turn up the corners of his mouth, quite smug.

Evan interjected at the right time and asked, "Seeing how proud you are, I'm curious, how much do they make for the company?"

Jack replied, "Well, after deducting all taxes and costs, the net profit is about $100,000." ”

Evan was silent for a moment and said, "Oh!"

$100,000 is indeed a lot of money for ordinary people, but in Evan's eyes, it is nothing

It's not as much as the profit of the Magic Seven Company in a month!

Jack was not surprised by Evan's reaction: "Evan, don't be too little, for a new studio, it is worth celebrating to be able to make a profit without losing money." ”

Evan nodded, "I understand. ”

Jack went on to say about another company: "I don't lead the AA business, but I know the situation, so I'm going to talk about it as well." ”

"As I said earlier, in the turbulent moment of Hollywood, AA has been smooth sailing, in addition to the brokerage business, according to the ideas you provided, AA has led a number of projects, including a TV show, two radio programs. This model is very successful, not only to sell its signed artists, but also to successfully drive all parties and inject new vitality into Hollywood. ”

"As far as I know, there are already peers who are imitating AA's approach......"

"It's normal. Evan asked, "Do you have a countermeasure?"

Jack was stunned: "No, our model can't be patented, otherwise we can sue them for infringement." ”

"That's a good point, right now, it's best for AA to be the same, as long as you keep putting out great projects, providing more opportunities for more clients, and attracting more artists to sign into the company," Evan said. When it reaches a certain scale, AA can be invincible. ”

Hearing Evan lightly say AA's development plan, Jack was stunned again, and then gave Evan a thumbs up, "This is good, I have to write it down and tell Jay." ”

Jay in Jack's mouth is the de facto general manager of AA, and Jack basically doesn't care.

"Whatever you want. Evan said: "After saying so much, you can talk about the right thing, right?"

"Huh?" Jack noticed that Evan was staring at him with burning eyes, as if he had already seen through the fact that the so-called report was just a façade.

Evan smiled and said, "Don't say it, I've heard the report, I'm going to leave if it's okay." ”

Seeing this, Jack stretched out his hand to stop Evan and said with a wry smile: "Okay, I said." ”

"Well, here's the thing, DreamWorks currently has a project in the works, but I want to start another one and work with AA, otherwise the manpower will be idle. ”

"Now, we don't lack money, we don't lack people, we don't lack ......"

Evan preemptively said, "Lack of script?"

Jack nodded.

Evan asked, "Are you beating up on the idea of that script in my hand?"

Jack nodded again.

Evan asked again, "Do you think I'll say yes?"

Jack smiled and didn't speak.

Evan said flatly: "Think beautifully." No way!"
