Sid casually pointed to a person in the audience: "Carter, I can't believe it, you were the first to take a fancy to "Pulp Fiction", but who made the Weinstein brothers rich!"

A tall man in the audience immediately let out a hearty laugh, and everyone laughed too. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Anthony, I love your set design for Forrest Gump. Sid's words again erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

As Sid pointed out each person, the crowd in the screening room burst into cheers, and the atmosphere in the arena gradually became enthusiastic and high.

Goffman turned to look at Spencer, and both saw the shock in each other's eyes. Just a few words, so that just now the audience was full of depression and scattered sand, and the employees from the two companies seemed to become a whole, enthusiastically following Sid's rhythm.

This young customer is indeed a future star with a promising future.

Spencer suddenly made up his mind that he wanted Wells Fargo to raise the level of importance attached to Sid internally.

"Okay, everybody, if I keep going, they're going to let me host [John Stewart's] Daily-Show. Sid's words immediately drew a good-natured laugh.

"But I still prefer to make good films that are both artistically and commercially successful rather than being a presenter. As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted louder applause and approval from everyone. After all, people who will devote themselves to the Hollywood production circle are more or less with a love for movies.

Although the original intention has been wiped out in the long social career, it will leave a little bit of fire in the bottom of my heart.

"But to do that, I can't do it alone. So, would you like to come with me?" Sid looked at everyone with a bright gaze, and his confident smile couldn't help but infect the employees sitting in the audience.

"Of course!" "Yes!" "I do!"

One by one, the crowd infected by Sid's enthusiasm stood up, some applauding, some cheering, and some whistling.

In the end, everyone stood up, cheering and jumping around the 16-year-old "kid" on the stage. Seeing that the scene was a little chaotic, Sean walked up to Sid a little nervously, wanting to remind him to leave.

After Sid smiled and made a "NO" gesture to him, he picked up the microphone and finally said: "Next, the new company has just been formed, and I believe that everyone still has a lot of work to hand over and run-in, so I won't delay everyone's time." However, I promise to bring our first film as soon as possible, and it won't be as easy as it is now. ”

As soon as his words fell, everyone cheered again. Sid then waved to everyone, smiled enthusiastically and nodded, then turned and left the screening room.

――――――――――――――――――――

"Sit down. Sid nodded.

"Oh, okay. "Thank you. Sean and Henry sat slightly nervously across from Sid, who were now sitting in the office of the former owner of Bertha Films, a bright and spacious office facing the expansive downtown area of North Los Angeles.

In addition to them, there was also the accompanying negotiating team in the room, with Goffman and Spencer standing aside.

"Take it easy, I'm not going to eat people. Seeing the nervous expressions of the two, Sid said jokingly, and the two immediately laughed.

"Henry, you are the director of the production department, most of the members of your crew are veterans who have worked hard in Hollywood for many years, and they have also participated in the production of some excellent movies, I believe that you have no problem in terms of ability. ”

"At this stage, the company is still in the run-in stage, and there are no major projects for the time being, so the production department is mainly maintaining the status quo at this stage. Sid spoke first to the middle-aged Mexican-American man in a scruffy shirt sitting on his left hand.

"Oh, okay, no problem. Hearing that his department had escaped for the time being, Henry breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly.

After saying this, Sid turned his head to another middle-aged man in a suit: "Sean, you are the distribution manager, I have read your resume, in the past five years, the distribution department and the film purchase department you are responsible for have maintained a certain degree of profitability, and have also participated in the bidding of several excellent independent films, although due to financial problems, you lost to other film companies, but this at least shows that your distribution department is still doing a good job." ”

Sid's words made Sean straighten up a little proudly, looking at his rather smug look, Sid slightly curled the corners of his mouth: "Then for the situation of the distribution department, I want to hear your introduction." ”

Sean straightened up and said in a quick voice, "Okay, Boss." Our distribution department has a complete distribution channel, we have a good cooperative relationship with independent cinema chains across the country, and we also have our own video tape manufacturing and distribution channels, which can quickly enter the video tape sales market through video distributors. ”

"Well, that's good. Sid nodded, "What about mainstream theaters?"

Sean suddenly said with some embarrassment: "This, we haven't had large-scale cooperation with mainstream theaters on distribution, but if necessary, we can still negotiate with some theaters in California to the number of releases, but in terms of time period, it may not be too good." ”

Sid looked at Sean's embarrassed appearance, but didn't speak, just nodded. In fact, a small Hollywood film company can imagine how many mainstream theater connections and resources it can have.

"As I said, I'm not going to fire anyone, but when a new company is formed, there needs to be something new. Sid's words immediately made Sean and Henry straighten their backs.

Therefore, the necessary reorganization and reconstruction are definitely needed, and as the saying goes, if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. If the company structure and personnel are not able to make the best use of their talents, then even if there is a good film project, it will be difficult to make it effective. So......" Sid looked to the side, and Goffman immediately handed over a few papers.

Sean and Henry took it and saw that it was a department plan and appointment letter for the new company.

The newly formed company was renamed "FireLion Pictures", and each company had three regular departments, finance, human resources, and legal, which were merged into the Shared Resources Department, and the department managers were all selected by the original company and recommended by Wells Fargo.

"Our legal counsel will be Goffman. Sid pointed to Goffman beside him and said, Sean and Henry quickly nodded to him.

And the production department and distribution department that are really related to the life and death of the film company are still managed by Henry and Sean, which makes them secretly relieved.

"So, let's take a look at this new film first. Sid pulled a tape out of his pocket, revealing a row of Paranormal Activity written crookedly on it with an oil-based pen.

"Boss, is this?" Henry wondered.

"Well, let's talk as we go, just Shaun and Henry. Sid didn't explain much, but took Sean and Henry to the small screening room for the company's executives to preview the meeting, while Goffman and the others left the office to attend to other matters.

"This is a video of evidence taken from the Los Angeles Police Department. Sid raised the tape in his hand and said suddenly.

"Evidence?" asked Henry, surprised.

"Well, yes, a relative of my family works in the police department. "Sid is serious nonsense.

"So, why give it to us?" asked Sean curiously.

"Hehe, because they found something incredible in the video, so ......" Sid suddenly paused, and looked at Sean and Henry with strange eyes, causing their hearts to burst into flames.

"They wanted to find an expert to verify the authenticity of the video, but they didn't want any media attention, so they asked me to find two reliable experts to verify it. Sid said to Sean and Henry "seriously", "Wait a minute, no matter what you see, I want you to keep it strictly confidential and not tell anyone." ”

"Oh, okay. "Definitely, Boss. Although Sean and Henry were full of suspicion, they immediately patted their chests to show their loyal assurance.

"Well, okay then. Let's read it first. Sid, along with Henry and Sean, walked into the screening room, a small screening room in the company dedicated to reviewing films. Sid turned on the VCR and turned off the lights in the conference room, revealing a black image on the small screen.

Then a row of white words emerged: "Pasadena Police Department internal evidence, strictly forbidden to disseminate." ”

Sean and Henry's hearts suddenly tightened, and their nerves suddenly gathered, and they looked at the screen together, wondering in their hearts what would appear on the screen, was it a bloody crime scene, or a video of the interrogation of criminals?

Before they could think about it, the picture immediately lit up, and a large TV set was playing, and then the camera began to shake, and it was obvious that the camera was being held in someone's hand. Next shot: A young man holding a small DV camera in front of a mirror is adjusting the stand.

Then the few quick shots are also the pictures of the young man shooting and doing things around the house with a DV camera, which is only Sean and Henry realized, it seems that this is the picture taken by the young man when he is fiddling with his new DV machine. That is, some birthday parties, children's football games and other life videos taken by ordinary people.

The two of them looked at each other strangely, but didn't say much. At this time, the man received a call humming a song, "Hey, Baby, what's wrong?"

Then in the next shot, the man walks to the door with a DV machine, and a white convertible car is driving in. "Hi Baby, look at this, da-da. The man shook the DV machine in his hand as if showing off, and the camera immediately shook quickly, Sean and Henry were suddenly a little dizzy, they smiled bitterly and gritted their teeth and continued to watch.
