When Tang Feng and Jerry came out of the bathroom, they had nothing to talk about, like old friends who had known each other for many years, and they didn't feel unfamiliar at all.

Now Jerry, with the success of "Breakdance", can be regarded as a quasi-first-line big-name producer.

Jerry is a very pragmatic person, and since he has decided to work with Tang Feng, he naturally sees him as a partner.

Although he was much older than Tang Feng, he didn't put on a big brother's stinky shelf like Cooper, but put Tang Feng in an equal position with himself.

Even, to a certain extent, he still has a kind of gratitude and admiration for Tang Feng, "Not everyone can make a movie from scratch, and it can be so popular!"

"There aren't many people who, at his age, can create a sport that looks particularly exciting!"

"I've seen a lot of bosses, and no one can give me 5% of the company's shares as soon as they meet, and let me be the vice president. ”

He also said that as long as the conditions allow in the future, I can make my own decisions as much as I want to make any movie without the approval of the board of directors. ”

"Oh my God, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that he had such courage and appreciated me so much!"

Jerry was a very talkative person and was familiar with most of the guests present, and it didn't take long for Tang Feng to get a general idea of the background of these people under his kind introduction.

Among these guests, many of them are people in the film and television industry, or they have various relationships with the film and television industry.

It was through Jerry's explanation that Tang Feng gradually saw Jonathan's network clearly, and also changed his previous simple and naïve thoughts.

Hollywood is a huge vanity fair, and in order to get along here, you have to have a large enough circle to meet all kinds of people and pull them into your camp.

Otherwise, just a few movies, at most, it is just a reputation, and if you want to really achieve the level of a big guy, it is simply wishful thinking.

If there is no network support, even if he can now be called a first-line director and has his own company, but what can he do?

Who recognizes you?

Who has your back?

And who wants to help you?

Don't say anything that is beneficial or not, money can solve many things, but it is by no means a panacea that can solve everything!

Take, for example, the recent fact that despite the fact that his film did well in its first week of release, no one wanted to believe that he was innocent when the storm came.

Even the owners of several theaters removed the ladder at the most critical time, reducing the schedule of movies.

Why would they do it, isn't it because he doesn't have any background?

And a phone call from Jonathan can put him on the hottest talk show in the United States, thus reversing the unfavorable situation.

This can't help but make Tang Feng think about how to gain a foothold in Hollywood, which is a very realistic problem!

The result is already obvious, without enough background and connections, even if he makes a fuss, it will be just a flash in the pan, and sooner or later he will be swallowed up by others.

This time he was still very lucky and could make a lot of money with "Killer Tragedy", but who can guarantee that he will always be lucky in the future?

The same script, the same movie, put in the hands of different people, the result will definitely not be the same.

Even if the movies he wants to make in the future are all classics that have been verified by the market, they are all movies with high box office and high return rates that have been obtained, but so what?

No matter how good the movie is, if the theater doesn't schedule the film for you, what box office and profit are you talking about?

If I don't lose you, I'll be lucky!

So, at the end of the day, if he wants to get a foothold in Hollywood, he must build his network as soon as possible.

After figuring it out, Tang Feng also knew what to do, "Jerry, you are familiar with them, so take me and Anne to talk to them." ”

"Jonathan is right, being friends with them is important for the company. ”

"I think this is the most important reason why Jonathan invited me to come, he has helped me like this, if I can't understand his kindness again, then don't mix up in the entertainment industry. ”

A few words couldn't help but make Jerry look at him with admiration, "Haha, I'm really not mistaken, you can think like this, it makes me more confident in the future." ”

"Let's go, let's go meet the bankers first, if you want to make a movie, you can't make a good relationship with them. ”

As a result, the banquet hall was lively again, but unlike before, now Tang Feng took the initiative to talk to others.

Especially those who expressed kindness to him just now, they are the targets of his focus, and his seemingly redundant actions have successfully aroused the favor of many people.

also turned the courtesy greetings into substantive suggestions and invitations, "Hey, Sean, I heard that you are going to make a new movie soon." ”

"Just take a loan from our bank, I promise to give you the highest amount, the most relaxed time, and the lowest interest rate!"

"Young man, let me give you a word of advice, the box office is not the main thing, if you want your company to be successful, you must win a few awards!"

"If you have time on the weekend, let's find a place to have a good chat, I personally think that "Killer Tragedy" is fully qualified to hit the Golden Ball. ”

"Sean, give you a heads-up, you should go and meet with the bosses of the three major theater chains. ”

"These days, they have a lot of headaches for your movie, I heard that many people protested at the door of the theater, you have caused them a lot of trouble, haha. ”

"Oh, I'm just casually saying, don't be nervous. ”

"In a few days they will hold a banquet, and I have received an invitation, so you can go with me, this kind of trivial matter, a glass of wine and a joke will be solved. ”

Jonathan originally wanted to introduce Tang Feng personally, but when he saw that Tang Feng had already walked through the crowd with ease, he couldn't help but smile approvingly.

"How did this kid get together with Jerry?"

"Looks like he already knows what I mean, what a clever boy. ”

"I want to see what you little guy can come up with!"

Sometimes, it's as simple as that.

If someone else expresses goodwill, if you just entertain, I am afraid that you will lose the opportunity for further cooperation.

But if you can take the initiative, even strangers who meet for the first time will look at you differently.

Opportunities are often in those seemingly meaningless entertainments, depending on whether you can grasp them.

......

Just as everyone was talking happily, a group of people walked in from the outside.

Except for the person who walked in front of him in a white dress, those who followed him were all wearing black suits, and each person was holding a gift box in his hand.

As soon as he entered, the man in the white dress shouted, "Uncle Jonathan, I'm coming to see you!"

"Sorry, I just arrived in Los Angeles, and I'm still late. ”

After speaking, he also thought he was very handsome and hugged his fists to everyone, "Haha, many acquaintances are here, hello everyone." ”

For a while, everyone looked sideways, but no one took the initiative to greet him, and some even glanced at him with disgust, and continued the topic just now.

Seeing that it was a little cold, fortunately, at this time, Jonathan relieved him, "I thought you wouldn't come, let's go inside." ”

To Tang Feng's surprise, that person turned out to be Asian!

Before he could speak, Jerry took the initiative to introduce: "This guy is of Chinese descent just like you." ”

"But his reputation is not very good, well, it can be said that he is a famous loser in the rich world, a gentleman. ”

Tang Feng asked suspiciously, "He is also a Chinese?"

"What is the origin of this guy?

Jerry laughed, "Haha, your analogy is quite intentional. ”

"That's right, he's a rich second generation, and he's a super rich second generation. ”

"An Wang, you know, right?"

"He is a well-known figure in your Chinese circle, not only single-handedly founded his own computer company, but also became IBM's biggest competitor for a time. ”

However, due to poor decision-making, his company gradually began to decline, and Wang died at the beginning of the year. ”

But in the final analysis, his biggest mistake was to let that headless guy become the president of the company, otherwise he would not have lost hundreds of millions of dollars a year and broken his own capital chain. ”

"It is estimated that Jonathan only sent him an invitation for the sake of the late An Wang's face, but I didn't expect him to really come. ”

After listening to Jerry's words, Tang Feng knew who this angry guy was.

He is Wang An's son, the most famous super loser in this era, Wang Lie!

To say that Wang An's life can be described as infinitely beautiful, and he is also a powerful figure in the science and technology circle.

At its peak, the market value of Wang An's computer company exceeded $3 billion, and he became the only super-rich person of Chinese descent.

But in his later years, he made mistakes in decision-making one after another, which also ruined the good future of Wang An's computer company.

And his biggest mistake was to let his son become the president of the company.

This guy who is so happy and has no real talent and learning, after taking over, did not implement the planned strategic transfer plan, and fully transferred the company's business to PC computers.

Not only did it fail to reverse the company's decline, but it also personally sent this company with unlimited potential to a dead end.

Even Bill Gates said with emotion, "If Wang An could have completed the second step of strategic transfer, then there would be no Microsoft existence, and I may just be an ordinary person." ”

Even if Wang An woke up when he was dying and removed his position, it was already too late.

If Tang's memory is correct, Wang An Computer Company will file for bankruptcy protection ten months later, and finally end up being acquired and dismantled by others.

Tang Feng was sighing for the tragic ending of a generation of Chinese legends, and Jonathan actually brought Wang Lie to him, "Sean, let me introduce you to you." ”

"This is the son of my old friend, L. WANG。 ”

"He's very optimistic about you, you're both Chinese, and there should be a lot of topics. ”

"Let's talk, I'll entertain the other guests. ”
