Chapter 157: Preparing to Pit People
Andy hung up the phone, grinned at Auston beside him, showed a mouthful of big white teeth, shrugged and said, "Look, I'll just say it, my method is the most direct! Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½γγ β
Auston looked at his son with a black line, got up from the sofa angrily, picked up his briefcase, and walked towards the door, while saying: "It's all like this, then it's a mess! β
"Click... Smack!"
Andy looked at his father's disappearing figure, turned his head to Li Wanqing and pouted, spread his hands and said innocently: "How do I feel that the responsibility for this matter has become like I am responsible!"
Li Wanqing looked at her son funny, saw Andy turn around and walked to her bedroom, suddenly remembered the smell of perfume on her son's body when he came back two days ago, and asked tentatively: "Ivana is still in San Francisco? When will you come back, let's meet and have a meal together." β
Andy looked back at his mother strangely, and said a little entangled: "Ivana and I have only been dating for a few months, is it early to meet now, and besides, I haven't asked her if she is willing, let's talk about it!"
Li Wanqing helplessly looked at her son who ran back to the bedroom after speaking, a little headache, this son is really not worry-free, for Andy's chaotic private life before, she has said it several times as a mother, but Andy still doesn't pay much attention to me, I thought that I would be relieved after confirming the relationship with Ivana, but it still seems that it is not very reliable at present, fortunately, it is a son, if it is a daughter, she will really be angry to death.
Andy, who returned to the bedroom, did not dwell on his mother's proposal, he was only 21 years old now, and he had a great youth to squander, so he would not enter into marriage so early and be circled by a woman, even if that woman was Ivana.
He took out his personal mobile phone and started making calls, he can't go out now, he can only use his mobile phone to manage the affairs of several companies, even if each company has an excellent manager, but as a big boss, he must maintain an understanding of the company's affairs.
First of all, the game company, now he cares most about the sales of "Minecraft", this game is a cash cow, it is a real cash nai cow, to be honest, just doing a good job in this game, it is enough to make him chic in his life, the potential is huge, and it is strange not to care.
Blair of the game company also feels that the big boss pays special attention to the game, and the daily routine report will also tell the young boss the number and amount of sales collected and feedback.
"Publicity or to expand the scale, send more game videos to YouTube, you can do a few game tutorial videos and upload them, after all, our game still has a certain degree of difficulty, to make young people think that this game is a trend, if you don't play, you will fall behind, let the planning department come up with a plan, how to hype is their business, I only need the result, advertising funds can also be appropriately increased, now although the average sales of millions of dollars per day, but this situation does not last long, we must increase publicity, so that more people pay attention to this gameγγγ β
Blair has a deep impression of his boss, that is, he cares about publicity and sales very much, otherwise he would not let himself, a person with rich sales experience, be the CEO, as long as he can expand his influence and increase the number of sales, his boss does not care how there is no lower limit to the means of publicity.
Andy learned about the progress of the other two games, the development progress of "Zombie" is constantly accelerating, there is no need for Andy and Blair to urge, Holden is now like a madman, leading the team members to work overtime, and the other members seem to have no complaints.
Because "Minecraft" has been successful, and every set of games sold will have a part of the profits that belong to the development team, although this part accounts for a small proportion, but the game is now popular, selling millions of dollars every day, not jealous, not envious, not anxious are all fake, their boss is not a stingy person, the original creativity or something is the boss's own, and can share a part of the profits to them, which is definitely a generous good boss.
Do it early, go public early, and make money early. This is what Holden says in the development team every day, and it has become a demon in the hearts of the entire "Zombie" development team.
As for "Under the Legend", due to some technical reasons, the progress is slow, but Andy has long said that the difficulty of making this game is high, and you can't be in a hurry, after all, there is a certain amount of AI artificial intelligence technology in it, and there is no difficulty before there is a ghost.
After learning about the game company, he was going to call the investment company Bard, but when he saw his work phone that had been turned off for two days, Andy touched his chin and called Carl in Los Angeles.
Sure enough, as soon as the phone was connected, the dead fat man complained, sometimes Andy really wanted to fire him, but there was really no more suitable help than Carl around him, after all, some things do need such a person to help him deal with, Carl is absolutely dedicated to the things he explained, and now many film companies that have dealt with Carl hate him so much, but there is nothing he can do, after all, he has a lot of excellent IP in his hands, especially when some film companies go to the screenwriters' union to check the script, they find a few script outlines that Andy has archived early in the morning, Mockingbird Rights now really has a place in Hollywood.
"Well, after tomorrow no one will bother you anymore. Have you been approached by anyone at the summit?" Andy interrupted Carl's grumbling and asked about his biggest concern.
"Hehe, Rob Freman came here in person, and as soon as we met, he accused me of breaking the rules of the industry, but he was very curious about us buying the film and television adaptation rights of "Twilight", and he also wanted to see if he could make a movie with us, and he almost laughed to death. By the way, he wants to meet you, saying that he can't get through to you on the phone, and wants to talk to you about cooperation. β
Andy smiled slightly, leaned comfortably on the computer chair and said, "Yes, you can tell him that I am waiting for him to come in New York, and the two series of "Twilight" and "Hunger" can be discussed, as long as his conditions are enough to impress me, hehe." β
"If he had known that you were taking a stake in Summit Entertainment, I don't think he would have run to New York to get angry. β
"no.no, on the contrary, he will be very happy, look at the three shareholders, hehe, one is engaged in real estate, one is engaged in finance, and the other is making a fortune by reselling movies, but for running a film company, making movies or something, he is not very expert, otherwise he would not invite Rob Freman to be the CEO, laymen lead insiders, naturally there are a lot of constraints, my joining can just balance the balance between the directors, and he will also help me say good things about this, not to mention these excellent IPs in my hand, which side do you say he will stand onAfter all, he's just a professional manager. β
Andy's words are definitely reasonable, Summit Entertainment finally owed a large amount of foreign debt because of various blind large-scale production investments, and was finally swallowed up by Lionsgate, and the high-quality film library and excellent IP in the hands of Summit made a wedding dress for Lionsgate.
The price of being swallowed up is not even as profitable as the box office of "Twilight", which has to be said to be an irony, of course, this is not unrelated to the indiscriminate meddling of the directors, making movies is not making stocks, and the bigger the investment, the more profitable.
Andy now wants to smoothly become a shareholder of Summit Entertainment, support Rob Freman in the company's operation, let Summit develop slowly, and after the subprime mortgage crisis comes, squeeze out two of the two shareholders, and complete the annexation of Summit Entertainment, as for the original founder, Andy can only hehe, who cares, there are more business cases of this kind of dove occupying the magpie's nest, is the founder great?
When Andy thought so, he also warned himself that in his future business development, he would definitely introduce some foreign capital, and he would definitely put shackles on these foreign capitals, so as to prevent being played by others.
