Chapter 124: Dragon Soul
As soon as Lyra's words came out, they immediately caused a small discussion.
It seemed to them an incredible plan, or they didn't even want to grow the company in the past.
You must know that earlier last year, the company was still facing the threat of bankruptcy, and those who were capable and powerful were either poached or resigned themselves, and those who remained were only mediocre and ordinary people who could mix day by day. They can do their job well, but only well, and it's too hard for them to hope that they can do their job more creatively.
Therefore, when Leila came up with such a big-sounding plan, many people felt a sense of confusion. If they had a choice, they would prefer to rely on Layla and her blockbuster films, so that they can only serve her and not have to think about anything else.
But that's exactly what Leila doesn't want to see, she has the benefits of being reborn and big plans for the future. She can tolerate people with little ambition working for her, but she will never tolerate subordinates who pull their feet and don't listen to her orders. She has already put forward the plan, and the people below only need to help her improve the plan, as for opposing and supporting anything, she doesn't need it at all.
When she met Alan and Rob and knew that they were the creators of the Fatal Bend, she came up with the idea. As she said, the company only relies on her alone, and it is impossible to develop into a real big company by only revolving around her, and it must absorb more cooperation to have a better future.
Some well-known directors have their own agencies or film companies, and it is not easy to work with them, and even if there is an opportunity, it will dilute their company's profits. How could Leila want to see such a thing when it takes a lot of work to make a movie and someone else has to share more than half of the money she makes, especially when she knows that the movies she makes will make a lot of money.
Therefore, well-known directors and well-known screenwriters or actors who spend more money have basically been removed from the possibility of cooperation by her.
Therefore, she focuses more on the new generation, relying on the foresight brought by rebirth to target promising directors and actors in the future. With this forward-looking, he produced a batch of excellent movies and quickly won a place in Hollywood before being targeted by other big studios!
Leila glanced around the office, her ice-blue eyes narrowing dangerously, "What's wrong?"
I don't know if it's because the color of her eyes makes people feel very indifferent, when they are swept by her gaze, everyone feels a chill on their bodies, even the most daring one subconsciously shook their heads: "No problem!"
"Good. Since there is no problem now, I am afraid that there will be problems between us if there is a problem in the future. I really don't want that to happen, and I'm sure neither do you. Leila smiled, but unfortunately there was only one person who was in the mood to laugh except her, and there was only Roy, who had no heart and no lungs to join in the fun, and everyone else lost the mood to laugh.
"The second plan. She then threw another thunderbolt that knocked everyone dizzy again. "In the future, Immortal Bird will establish a new film production company, LoongSpirit. In the future, the newly established Dragon Soul Film Production Company will be responsible for the production and distribution of high-quality films and high-budget films. The Immortal Bird continues to be responsible for R-rated horror films, small-budget films, and emerging collaborations. ”
Louise didn't have any objections to her plan, only a little confused about her name: "LoongSpirit?"
"That's right, it's the dragon soul. "Elila's personality is not actually a person who can explain her intentions to others, but this time, I don't know why, she just has an urge to say what she thinks.
"The immortal bird is also called the phoenix, and in the far east, the dragon and the phoenix are symbols of good luck. I hope these two companies can complement each other in the future and become the best film company in Hollywood!"
Louise realized: "I see, I see, it's a good name." ”
Lyra smiled, hiding the strange look that rose from her eyes.
That's just one of the explanations, the other purpose that can't be debunked, she doesn't say.
She was reborn into this body, a complete Western face, a Western bloodline, and a Western world...... Many times her heart is lonely, and occasionally seeing an Asian face on the street will make her feel a subconscious sense of intimacy.
The dragon is the symbol of her original country, and everyone claims to be a descendant of the dragon. Even if she "had to" become a Westerner, she still felt that she had not lost the spirit of the dragon in her bones. Therefore, the new company was named Dragon Soul by her, firstly because she represented the dragon and phoenix as she said to Louise, and secondly, she wanted to express her unspeakable wishes and desires in another way.
And there is another reason that is not a reason, and that is the word loong.
When it comes to dragons, many people react with Dragon. However, Dragon is a derogatory term in the West, an evil demon, fierce and brutal, and does all kinds of evil. The most obvious is that in Western fairy tales, there will always be a beautiful princess imprisoned by the evil dragon, and there will always be a handsome and brave prince who will kill the evil dragon in order to save the princess.
However, the dragon in the east is a god who travels clouds and rain, and is a good god who benefits one party, and the people have sacrificed him in various ways since ancient times, and the dragon in the west is not a creature at all.
Therefore, calling him Dragon is a denigration and insult to him.
The correct translation of the oriental dragon should be loong, if it is actually long according to the direct transliteration, it can be read in English long wolf sound instead of dragon, so an o was added between the words to become loong, which not only represents the slender body of the oriental dragon, but also the two o in the middle can also be understood as the two eyes of the dragon, which is actually a very suitable translation.
Orientals have always said that they are the descendants of the dragon, and in the understanding of Westerners, they have become the descendants of evil, what a terrible misunderstanding, but this misunderstanding is even acquiesced by many Orientals themselves. But I didn't know that even Bruce Lee's real name was translated as: Lisiu Loong, not some Raush Dragon.
Leila came into this world and couldn't help but want to reverse this thought, if the company becomes the most famous company in the world with her efforts in the future, then the word loong will also spread around the world with the company's name, so that more people can accept this translation.
If she can't do it, forget it, but obviously she has the energy to do it so that she is likely to do it, so why not give it a try? As the saying goes, dreams still have to be had, what if they come true?
So Leila gave an order, and the whole company moved. It takes a lot of work to complete the planning, prepare for the new company, and all kinds of trivial matters.
Everyone was given a task to get busy, except for Roy sitting in the corner of the office looking lost and puzzled. Isn't it to get back from a plane to a meeting to deal with Cooper? It's a cooperation plan and a new company, why are they holding this meeting? Why did he have the cheekiness to stay in the office and not leave?
