Chapter 651: Help
Back at the hotel, Yang Ming poured himself a glass of red wine, walked to the balcony, and looked at the flashing neon lights of Hollywood not far away, the bustling traffic, and he must plant the flag of Oriental DreamWorks on this land in this life.
After taking a sip of red wine, he couldn't help but think of the meeting he had just met with Bobble again.
Although he can't be sure whether Barber will eventually agree to join Oriental DreamWorks, he is sure that the other party must be tempted, especially when he comes up with three carefully prepared scripts and the talent he has shown in the script.
A person who can mass-produce classic scripts is very important to the film company, and I believe Barber knows it very well.
Sales always believe that channel is king, and the film industry believes that creativity is king!
The form of creativity is the script!
Maybe this statement is not absolute, but the importance of the script is undoubted, this is the foundation of a movie, and Yang Ming can create a large number of classic scripts, which is for a film company, as long as there is a guarantee of funds, and then find the right director and actors, a movie that sells all over the world can be produced.
Bobble, who is well versed in the rules of the Hollywood film industry, naturally knows very well that with Yang Ming's guarantee of being able to provide top-notch creative content scripts, the future of a film company is self-evident.
Yang Ming thought for a while about the answer that Barber might give tomorrow, rubbed his eyebrows, felt that his head was a little heavy, and stopped thinking about it.
Anyway, he's done everything he can.
Planning is in the people, and the success is in the sky, and the answer will be known by waiting until tomorrow.
Even if Barber doesn't agree to Yang Ming's request at that time, it won't be a big deal, at most, it will only delay the development of Oriental DreamWorks in Hollywood.
It can't affect the overall plan in Yang Ming's heart.
When Barber returned home, he locked himself in the study alone, and sat quietly at the desk alone, thinking about what happened after meeting Yang Ming today.
Even his wife told him to come downstairs for dinner, but he refused.
At this time, he was really in no mood to eat.
Tomorrow's decisions can be a matter for your future life.
After so many years at the helm of Pan American Entertainment, Barber gained a qiē, although in the end, due to disagreement with the concept, various conflicts with Corkley broke out, and he was purged from Pan American Entertainment.
But Barber didn't have much resentment, just a little regret and unwillingness in his heart.
Because his ideals in Pan Am Entertainment have not yet been realized.
With Barber's current status, whether it is money or honor, he has no lack, but his ambitions have not been realized, especially his dedication to Pan American Entertainment for decades, and he has not yet seen his ideal Pan American Entertainment, but his dream has come to an abrupt end by Corkley's narrow personality.
During this time away from Pan American Entertainment, Barber pondered countless times about which path he should choose in his future life.
But he still doesn't have a clear goal.
This is not because no company invited him, on the contrary, many Hollywood film companies want to invite him to join as the helm of the company, and there is even a giant among them.
Because the current situation of the Hollywood movie giant is very bad compared with before, and its profits have been declining year after year, it is basically spending money to buy and drink.
Faced with an invitation from the Hollywood giant, Barber said that it was impossible.
But he is past the age of impulsiveness.
He has been in Hollywood for so many years, and he knows every movie giant very well, as the saying goes, what he knows best about himself is his opponent.
Barber, who was previously at the helm of Pan American Entertainment, naturally has years of research and knowledge of several other rival film giants.
Although the advantages of the resources in the hands of the film giants are extremely obvious, the shortcomings are also obvious.
The bigger the company, the more powerful the internal tilt, and the same is true of the Hollywood giant who secretly invited him a few days ago, if it weren't for the excessive internal entanglement of interests and prominent contradictions, it would be impossible to want to purge the current general manager and send him an invitation.
Or on the other hand, he is also a victim of this kind of intra-company dumping.
If it weren't for Corkley's stubbornness, disagreement with his ideas, and the accumulation of various contradictions, and Corkley's selfish grudge against Pan American Entertainment despite the opposition of most of the company, then he would not have returned to the starting point of his dream now.
But this painful lesson also told Barber, the huge movie giant, although the appearance is glamorous, everyone envies the people inside, I have to say that in fact, the giant is not suitable for him to realize the ideal place of revenge in his heart.
Because no matter the entanglement of interests within each giant, it has long been deeply rooted, and there are many contradictions and conflicts.
No matter what you do, you must be cautious and can't let go of your hands and feet, for fear that a certain change will touch the interests of one party.
So, although Barber is now receiving an invitation from a certain film giant, he is not tempted, but instead focuses on the second-tier film companies that have sent him invitations.
Maybe the resources in the hands of these second-tier film companies can't be compared with those giants, but the victory is not as chaotic and entangled as the giants within the company.
Without the appearance of Yang Ming, Barber believes that he will definitely choose a company with the most innocent background among these second-tier film companies to join, and then show his skills and create another giant.
Now he is thinking about these two sides, considering the gains and losses of the two decisions, and he has not slept well all night, and Yang Ming's name and other film company materials keep appearing in his mind.
The next day, Bobble woke up early for insomnia, washed up, and exercised in his yard.
When he returned to the house, his wife had prepared breakfast, and all the newspapers he had to read every day were on the table.
As Barber sat down at the table, picked up a newspaper and was about to read it for breakfast, his movements froze when he saw a news report in the newspaper.
"In an interview with this reporter, Cokley, the boss of Pan Am Entertainment, claimed that the former general manager Barber is a cancer of Pan American Entertainment, and Pan American Entertainment without Barber will usher in a more brilliant tomorrow!"
When he carefully looked at the news report in the newspaper, his face suddenly became very ugly.
Barber really didn't expect Corkley to be so shameless.
At the press conference for the preparation of a blockbuster film of Pan American Entertainment, such deliberately slanderous words were uttered!
To be honest, he didn't pay attention to Cockley's incessant slander of his reputation before, which is not to say that he is just good-tempered, but the entire Hollywood entertainment industry knows what kind of person Corkeley is.
And what kind of person is he, Barber!
What he did at Pan American Entertainment is not something that a mixture of politician and businessman can be erased casually.
But now Corkley is tarnishing his hard work at Pan Am Entertainment and questioning his feelings for Pan Am Entertainment, which makes him feel unbearable.
Especially the so-called blockbuster at Pan Am Entertainment's press conference, or when he was at Pan Am Entertainment, he insisted on buying the film copyright, but he didn't expect Corkeley to be shameless enough to put this kind of credit on his head.
If it was just that, Barber wouldn't say anything, after all, he had already left Pan Am Entertainment, and the company's Qiē had nothing to do with him for a long time.
But Corkley is now attacking and tarnishing his efforts at Pan American Entertainment with the hand he once prided himself on, and this is not something he can bear.
- Whew!
Bobble slammed up from his seat, and walked around the living room with a somewhat hideous expression, full of anger and resentment, this dog. Mother. The parliamentarian is so hateful, how can he be so shameless!
"What's the matter?" asked Madame with concern.
"It's okay, leave me alone. Bobble waved his hand and said, but his mood had slowly calmed down, but he had also been at the helm of Hollywood giants for decades, and this self-control was still there.
Then, he read the news in this newspaper again carefully.
After a while, I saw a sneer on Bobble's face, and murmured, "Since you are so face-saving, then I will add some oil to you!"
As Barber, who has worked with Corkley for many years, he is very familiar with Corkley's personality and temperament, as for why Corckley took advantage of his life and used the opportunity of the press conference to deliberately slander his feelings for Pan American Entertainment.
The internal cause of this, his mind in Corkley, can be guessed.
Without him, it must have been Corkley's desire to completely wipe out his influence in the company.
Barber has been in Pan Am Entertainment for so many years, or Pan Am Entertainment can have the status in Hollywood today, he is indispensable, and his influence in the company is undoubted.
Corkley's desire to clear his influence in a short period of time is delusional.
"Maybe I'm too kind. Barber couldn't help but think that during this time, in order to prevent Pan American Entertainment from throwing the company into chaos because of his departure, he did not fight back against Corkley.
After all, that's where he's been working for decades.
But now it seems that his kindness has been regarded as weakness and can be bullied.
In this case, rather than Pan American Entertainment being defeated by others in the future, it is better to be buried by him with his own hands!
Thinking of this, Barber also made a decision in his heart, gritted his teeth fiercely, he picked up the phone and dialed out: "MR Yang, I agree to join Oriental DreamWorks!"
When Yang Ming received a call from Barber, he was naturally extremely happy in his heart, and the two agreed on the phone to officially sign the contract.
In the afternoon of the same day, Barber took his lawyer to the location of the online film company acquired by Yang Ming.
And Yang Ming and Howard personally greeted Barber's arrival for a while, because Oriental DreamWorks' lawyer team in China did not arrive, so Howard was responsible for the signing of Oriental DreamWorks and Barber this time.
Anyway, he is very familiar with this kind of headhunting contract.
Bobble's arrival made all the people at Online Film Company stupid.
No one thought that the new boss of the company's long-vacant general manager position would invite Mr. Barber, who is known as Hollywood's gold pointer, to join the company!
Even the company's deputy general manager Smith was stunned by Yang Ming's handwriting.
