Chapter 100: A shabby press conference

Back at the hotel, Lin Feng 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. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After taking a sip of red wine, he couldn't help but think about the meeting with Bob again.

While he wasn't sure if Bob would eventually agree to join Oriental DreamWorks, he was sure that the other party would be tempted, especially when he came up with three carefully prepared scripts and showed his talent in scripts.

I believe Bob knows very well the importance of a person who can mass-produce classic scripts to the film company.

Sales always believe that channel is king, and the film industry believes that creativity is king!

Creativity is a script!

Maybe this statement is not absolute, but the importance of the script is undoubted, this is the foundation of a movie, and Lin Feng 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.

Bob, who is well versed in the rules of the Hollywood film industry, naturally knows very well that with Lin Feng's guarantee of being able to provide top-notch creative content scripts, the future of a film company is self-evident.

Lin Feng thought for a while about the answer that Bob might give tomorrow, rubbed his eyebrows, felt that his head was a little heavy, and didn't think about it anymore.

Anyway, he's done everything he can.

The plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky, and everything will be known tomorrow.

Even if Bob doesn't agree to Lin Feng's request at that time, it will not be a big deal, at most it will delay the development of Oriental DreamWorks in Hollywood.

It can't affect the overall plan in Lin Feng's heart.

When Bob returned home, he locked himself in the study alone, and sat quietly at the desk alone, thinking about everything that happened after meeting Lin Feng 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, Bob gained everything, 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 Bob 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 Bob's current status, whether it is money or honor, he has no shortage of it, 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, and his dream has been abruptly stopped by Corkley's narrow personality.

During this time away from Pan Am Entertainment, Bob pondered countless times 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, Bob said that he was not tempted, 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.

Bob, who was previously at the helm of Pan Am Entertainment, naturally has several 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 Bob is also a victim of this kind of internal corporate strife.

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 Bob that the huge movie giant, although he has a bright appearance, everyone envies the people inside, and I have to say that 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 Bob has now received 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 Lin Feng's appearance, Bob believes that he would definitely choose a company with the cleanest background among these second-tier film companies to join, and then show his skills and create another giant.

Now he was thinking about these two sides, considering the pros and cons of the two decisions, and he didn't sleep well all night, and Lin Feng's name and other film company information kept appearing in his mind.

The next day, Bob 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.

Bob sat down at the table, picked up a newspaper in his hand, and was about to read it for breakfast, when he saw a news story in the newspaper, his hand froze.

"In an interview with this reporter, Cokeley, the boss of Pan Am Entertainment, claimed that the former general manager Bob is a cancer of Pan Am Entertainment, and Pan Am Entertainment without Bob will usher in a more brilliant tomorrow!"

When he carefully looked at the news report in the newspaper, his face suddenly became very ugly.

Bob 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 Bob!

What he did at Pan Am Entertainment is not something that a mixture of politician and businessman can easily erase.

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, Bob wouldn't say much, after all, he had left Pan American Entertainment, and everything in the company 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!

Bob 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. Bob 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 he still had some self-control.

Then, he read the news in this newspaper again carefully.

After a while, I saw a sneer on Bob's face, and muttered, "Since you are so face-saving, then I'll add some oil to you!"

As Bob, 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.

Bob 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. Bob 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, Bob also made a decision in his heart, gritted his teeth fiercely, he picked up the phone and dialed out: "Mrlin, I agree to join Oriental DreamWorks!"

Lin Feng was naturally extremely happy when he received Bob's call, and the two made an appointment on the phone to officially sign the contract.

In the afternoon of the same day, Bob took his lawyer to the location of the online film company acquired by Lin Feng.

And Lin Feng and Howard personally greeted Bob'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 Bob this time.

Anyway, he is very familiar with this kind of headhunting contract.

Bob's arrival made all the people in the online film company stupid.

No one thought that the new boss of the company's long-vacant general manager position would invite Mr. Bob, who is known as the gold medalist in Hollywood, to join the company!

Even Smith, the company's deputy general manager, was stunned by Lin Feng's handwriting.

In the previous life, as the Chinese film market became bigger and bigger, Hollywood also paid more attention to the Chinese film market.

Therefore, in order to please the mainland audience, Chinese elements have been added to the plot and actors.

The scene in "Transformers 4" that travels from Hong Kong to Wulong, China at once is really powerless to complain, and this movie is also a blockbuster with the most Chinese elements, even to the point of being unbearable.

Although this sequel is popular at the box office, "Transformers 4" has a poor reputation, and Chinese and American audiences have received a flood of bad reviews. The American media even analyzed in an article: "A large number of Chinese scenes, Chinese actors, and Chinese elements (or the placement of Chinese advertisements) are the reasons for the success of this film in China." ”

At least a third of the scenes in this movie are about "China"!

The film not only has Chinese actors Li Bingbing, Han Geng, and Zou Shiming, but also a large number of scenes filmed in Beijing, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Hong Kong and other places. Watching familiar Chinese actors in Hollywood blockbusters, communicating in Chinese on familiar turf, is another enjoyment in addition to the cool transformation of Transformers.

In addition, there are a number of brand placements in "Change 4" that are familiar to Chinese audiences, such as Pangu Daguan, Zhou Heiya, Shuhua Milk and other brands, which also make Chinese audiences feel novel. Although many viewers will complain about the implantation method after watching the movie, no matter whether it is good or bad, it always attracts more audiences to watch the movie.

"Transformers 4" has a large number of Chinese elements, which makes the domestic audience accept it unprecedentedly.

In Lin Feng's reflection, in the previous life, this Hollywood blockbuster, it can be said that in order to please the mainland audience, adding Chinese elements has reached the point of doing everything.

The end result is that the box office is red and the reputation is not good!

Lin Feng doesn't want to be in "2012" in this life, just like "Transformers 4" in his previous life, just to please the audience in the United States, he adds various local elements regardless of logic.

In doing so, it may be a satisfying box office, but it is likely to have a poor reputation.

But you can't make any changes at all, that's a bit overkill, but it can't be as exaggerated as "Change 4" in the previous life.

There are still some important roles in "2012" that can be played by Hollywood actors.

It's just that Lin Feng can only be determined after carefully revising the script again.

However, the general direction has been determined, the male and female number one is still Lin Chaowei and Zhou Meiling, and the background of the script is in Huaxia!

This is non-negotiable.

Hearing Lin Feng's decision, Bob didn't say anything after thinking about it for a while, after all, this young man who had just become his boss wanted to open the Hollywood film market in this mode, and he still had to be verified by the market to know what the effect would be.

Regarding Lin Feng's "One Ball Fame", which was previously popular in the United States, Bob does not think this is a normal phenomenon.

After the global box office of "Deep Sea Tracking" was severely humiliated by Lin Feng's film, he also studied this movie seriously.

Although this is a classic sports inspirational movie, if it happens to meet the World Cup, the box office figures of this movie will definitely not reach such high heights.

It's all just coincidence and luck, and you can't generalize about it.

Lin Feng chatted with Bob for a while, because there was a press conference in the afternoon, and he invited Bob and the company's senior management to the hotel to get closer to everyone.

At the same time, Smith also sent invitations to many large entertainment media in Hollywood, announcing that the company would hold a press conference.

It's just that there are very few applicants.

Because there really isn't anything memorable about Connected Pictures in Hollywood.

"The chairman, Mr. Bob, now only 8 media have confirmed to come to the company's press conference. ”

At half past two in the afternoon, Smith walked in with a look of self-reproach and shame and said to Lin Feng and Bob.

No wonder he was so ashamed, the press conference attended by only 8 media outlets was so shabby that it couldn't even be considered a press conference.

However, the status of the online film company in the circle is like this!

"Mr. Bob, it looks like you're going to have the most chilled press conference of your life. After Lin Feng heard Smith's report, he couldn't help but laugh and joke with Bob.

It was as if he had not been affected by such a shabby number of media outlets, and he was still there to talk and laugh with Bob.

Seeing Lin Feng's relaxed appearance, Smith, who was originally very self-blaming and ashamed, couldn't help but feel relieved, and his nervous mood when he just came in was much lighter.

When Bob saw that Lin Feng heard the news, he still looked calm and calm, and secretly praised his new boss's city government in his heart, which was definitely a material for doing great things.

"I believe that the second press conference will not be so crowded!" Bob said with a relaxed and confident face.

In this regard, both Bob and Lin Feng are full of confidence.

After all, no media in the press conference knew about the famous Hollywood gold pointer, and Bob, the former general manager of Pan American Entertainment, would choose to join a third-tier film company.

I believe that if the outside media learns of this news in advance, they will definitely flock to it and break the threshold of the company.

It's just that after Lin Feng and Bob discussed, they both decided that this press conference would not be exposed in advance, after all, the company had just been acquired, and Bob had just come to the company, and both parties were extremely unfamiliar, so it was better to wait until Bob was familiar with the company.

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Several reporters came to the online film company and sat at the press conference site with a small temporary arrangement, which was not so empty.

At this time, Smith walked to the microphone in front of him with a press release, looked at several reporters in the audience, and felt extremely complicated in his heart, this is the gap.

All those Hollywood giants, the news of the big fart will be enthusiastically chased by countless media, which press conference is not held in a famous luxury hotel?

It's as shabby as the online film company, just arranging a simple scene in the company can be regarded as a press conference.

However, Smith believes that all of this will change after today.

Because the company was acquired.

Before starting, Smith couldn't help but count the reporters on the scene, 6!

There are 2 reporters who haven't come yet, but he doesn't think that these reporters are late in traffic jams or anything, and he can even conclude that there are 2 reporters from entertainment media who must have released their pigeons, and they will definitely not come again.

This is the sorrow of the small company, but Smith is secretly ruthless in his heart, and has already blacklisted the two media reporters who released his pigeons.

Don't try to get a piece of news from him in the future.

"Guys, let's get started, no wait!" Smith said decisively as he tapped the microphone.

Several reporters in the audience didn't care when they heard Smith's words, they all looked at Smith listlessly, if it weren't for the fact that the task of interviewing a large company had been done by someone else, they really had nothing to do, and it was impossible to agree to Smith to come over to participate in such a shabby press conference.

So, none of the reporters took Smith's words to heart.

There were even two reporters who exchanged words after Smith spoke, ignoring the quiet order of the scene.

Smith didn't seem to see the two reporters who were still talking to each other, and said to himself: "The board of directors of Wired has reached an agreement to sell all its shares, and the company was officially acquired yesterday, and the company will continue to develop in Hollywood under the new name of Oriental DreamWorks." ”

Wired was actually acquired?

Several reporters in the audience were a little surprised when they heard the news, but they didn't take it to heart, this is not big news.

Because in Hollywood, every day companies go out of business or are acquired, and as for online studios being acquired, this is really a normal thing for them.

It's just that, I don't know why, the two reporters in the audience always feel that the name of 'Oriental DreamWorks' sounds, how can it be so familiar?

Suddenly, a reporter suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but stand up in surprise and asked: "Could it be that the online company was acquired by a film company in Huaxia? Is it the film company that made "One Ball to Fame"?"

"I think so. Smith didn't hide anything, and nodded directly in acknowledgement.

- Hmmm

There were a total of six reporters in the audience, and when they heard the confirmation, they couldn't help but look at Smith in unison.

"One Goal to Fame" is the most popular movie during the World Cup, there is no one, even in the football desert of the United States, many people have seen this movie, and Lin Feng, as a self-directed and self-acting, is the focus of many entertainment media.

"Could it be that Huaxia's Lin acquired the online company?" the reporter asked anxiously.

To be honest, for their reporters, there is no need for any need to report on what Oriental DreamWorks is not DreamWorks, but it is different to replace it with Lin Feng, who has just swept the box office in the United States.

"Let's invite Lin from Huaxia to answer some of your questions!" Smith said.

When several reporters saw Lin Feng walk in, everyone immediately became highly focused, and their attitudes were completely different from the previous carelessness.

Although Lin Feng is not from the United States, his popularity in Hollywood is only no different from those newcomers who became popular overnight.

But at least it's better than no news coverage!

Especially the previous incident about Bob, who had resigned from Pan American Entertainment, was photographed at dinner, and it was even more uproarious, and these reporters still remember it vividly!

"May I ask Mr. Lin, why did you choose to buy a Hollywood film company? Does it mean that the focus of your career will shift to the United States in the future?"

"Mr. Lin, what made you buy the United States Film Company?"

"I'd like to ask about the news about you and Bob having dinner not long ago, can you tell us a little bit about what you and Mr. Bob were talking about?"

Although there were relatively few reporters, they had a lot of questions, and in a short period of time, they asked a lot of questions one after another, especially about the topic of Bob, who had a relationship with Lin Feng not long ago, which was a question of great concern to several reporters present.
