Chapter 23: Strength Assist
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, several people sitting with him also expressed their attitudes one after another.
A balding white man pursed his lips and said with some disdain: "Jason is right, I myself want to support you, but if you are allowed to enter my mall for free, I can't do this." ”
Immediately afterwards, the man in the suit sitting next to him also spoke: "Hunter, I'm very interested in your proposal. But to be honest, if it's a real blockbuster, I'm willing to pay even if it's backwards, but ......"
Their conversation was listened to by other bosses, and naturally they also put forward their own ideas: "Hunter, we also want to know, do you want to get our authorization for free, or for a fee?"
"If it's free, I'm afraid I won't be able to help, everyone knows that business in my store is not good. ”
Maybe it's because he has more contact with Chinese, and the restaurant owner Steven has also learned to be righteous, so he accused the two people: "I swore to help just now, why did you change your mind when you mentioned money, do you still have any morality?"
Then he said to Tang Feng: "Sean, no matter what others do, I absolutely and unconditionally support you!"
The development of things has exceeded the original expectations, and it seems to be a little unfavorable to himself, but Tang Feng still smiled and thanked him: "Thank you, Steven, thank you for your support." ”
At this sensitive time, a skinny Japanese boss, with their unique accent, said: "Let's not talk about how far your movie can be made, I just want to say why all his small shops can participate in the filming of the movie, and we have nothing to do with the movie?"
In that case, with all due respect, I'm not interested in participating. ”
With that, he picked up his designer handbag and left the conference room straight.
But when he came to the door, he turned back to Hunter and said, "A word of advice, my friend. If you want to increase your approval rating this way, it's better to find some real big-name directors. ”
The most annoying thing is that when he said this, he shook his finger at Tang Feng, "Just this kid, I'm afraid it won't achieve the effect you want." ”
"Hunter, I've known you for many years, and we've had some friendship. ”
"If you really want to do something, I can introduce you to a really big company, I guess you know which one I'm talking about, right?"
Anne leaned over and whispered, "He's the owner of Daejeon Department Store, but I didn't expect Hunter to invite him too." ”
"I'm sorry, Sean, it was my negligence, and I didn't expect Hunter to invite them. ”
Tang Feng patted her arm lightly and comforted her in a low voice: "It's not a big deal, don't worry." ”
Seeing him leave, Hunter's body moved, as if trying to chase him back, but in the end he didn't chase him out.
But he also frowned, looked at Tang Feng meaningfully, and then said to the other two mall managers: "You must know that such an event can enhance the popularity of the mall, not to mention that we plan to hold many auditions." So, I ask you to think about it carefully. ”
His words were reluctant, and Tang Feng could already see his hesitation and lack of confidence.
Tang Feng knew the reason for Hunter's hesitation, if he was willing, he was indeed qualified to go to those big directors who had become famous, and there was no need to hang himself on this little sapling.
The person who left suddenly was very bad, not only removed the ladder at the critical moment, but also pit him hard!
Los Angeles is relatively the most open city in the country, with people from all over the world coming together, and this is inevitable.
It is not uncommon for people from different countries and nationalities to exclude each other, dismantle Taiwan, be hostile, and even hostile to each other.
If it weren't for that guy to speak, Tang Feng thought that he was also Chinese, and even nodded to him, but he didn't expect to be cheated at this time.
It is precisely because of his few salty words that Hunter's psychology has changed badly, and it has also made him doubt and distrust himself.
Tang Feng knew that such a situation was inevitable, not to mention that he was in such an immigrant country, even if he was in China, he would still encounter opponents, and he would also encounter all kinds of bad things.
So he was not discouraged, but actively responded to the crisis in front of him, and said to everyone again: "Well, that guy is right. ”
"I'm a newcomer, I really can't compare with those big directors, let alone the eight major production companies. ”
"They do have a lot of resources, and they are fully capable of paying you what you want, and even more so that you can get the prestige you want. ”
At this time, Hunt's face was already a little embarrassed, and he also felt that he was a little inauthentic, and Anne's gaze also made him very uncomfortable.
When Tang Feng said this, he turned his head to look directly at Hunter: "But have you ever thought about it, if you really do that, will it deviate from our original intention?"
Thinking of what he had experienced in the past few days, Hunter also felt a little ashamed, and he wanted to explain with red ears, but Tang Feng turned his gaze to everyone.
"What's more, is that kind of movie still our own movie?"
Tang Feng paused, and saw that no one refuted, so he continued: "Maybe you will think that I just want to use your help to make my movie, so that I can enter the film and television industry to make money." ”
"I don't want to explain anything about that. ”
Then he pointed at Wilton and said loudly, "Let me introduce you to you, this Mr. Wilton is from Hollywood, and we have signed an agreement that he will join my film in the form of a collaboration." ”
Moreover, not only was he willing to provide all the best professional equipment and props, but he also served as the producer of the film. ”
Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Wilton knew it was time for him to appear, "Guys, although I haven't spoken all the time, I've seen it all. ”
"I don't want to say anything superfluous, I just want to say that I'm from Hollywood, but I didn't go to any of the so-called big directors, not even such thoughts. ”
As he spoke, he patted Tang Feng on the shoulder, "He is the most talented director I have ever met, so I am not only willing to work with him, but I will also invest five million to support his films!"
"You can choose to give up, or you can leave now. But you will forever lose the opportunity to witness the rise of a great director from this neighborhood!"
"Look at him, and think about what you just saw!"
"Don't you East Los Angeles have anyone who understands? He will be the pride of all East Los Angeles!"
Wilton's words made Tang Feng feel very surprised, he didn't expect this old man to give himself such a high evaluation, but now was not the time to be modest, so he accepted his praise with peace of mind.
But what he never expected was that as soon as Wilton's voice fell, "Talker" who had always behaved well actually stood up.
Tang Feng was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat, "What's the situation, what are you doing standing up at this time?"
"Brother, isn't it bad enough for me to be pitted?
But no matter how he gave Ken a look, Ken still cleared his throat as if he didn't see it, and then said with a proud face: "Ahem, you may not know me, please let me introduce myself." ”
"I'm from Wall Street and I'm now a fund manager at Glerwood Capital, so I don't know if you know about my company. ”
"But what I want to say is that I'm also willing to give five million to support Sean's film!"
As soon as his words came out, they attracted a lot of amazement.
Although Wilton's appearance surprised everyone, there was not much reaction because everyone was a fellow countryman.
Keken's appearance is different, you must know that any director who can have a relationship with Wall Street has an unlimited future!
As Angelenos, they've always scoffed at people from another metropolis, but they also have to admit that Wall Street's money and energy are definitely the envy of them.
But it didn't take long for someone to ask, "Aren't there a lot of film production companies in New York, why don't you invest in them instead of investing here?"
Some people also expressed doubts about his identity: "You look very young, how can you be a fund manager?
Seeing that they didn't believe it, Ken suddenly became arrogant, took out a big black brick from his satchel, and then dialed a number when everyone was stunned.
"Hey, is that Mr. Donald?"
"Hello, I'm the project manager of Glerwood Capital Investments, Ken Griffin. ”
"Yes, I'm in Los Angeles right now. What, you're still on vacation in Hawaii? It doesn't matter, I came a few days early for my brother Sean. ”
"He's a director and he's making a film right now, and we're going to invest in his films. ”
......
After babbling on the phone and putting Big Brother in his backpack, he explained to everyone, "It's Donald, well, the owner of the Clippers." ”
"I'm here to talk to him about a deal this time, after I talk to Sean, of course. ”
This time, everyone is not calm!
Who is Donald?
That's the owner of the famous Los Angeles Clippers, in their eyes, he is an unattainable absolute power boss!
How can someone who can have his personal phone number and talk to him at any time be a liar?
Immediately, a group of people gathered around Ken, who wanted to ask him for advice on how to make more money in the stock market.
Not to mention those petty bosses, even the managers of the two department stores rely on Ken's side, as if Ken will really give them gossip.
Hunter was also shocked by such a scene, and looked at the young man he had not cared about with an incredulous expression, and then looked at Tang Feng, who didn't know what he was thinking.
After hesitating for a long time, Hunter thought that he seemed to have to make some necessary explanations to Tang Feng, "Sean, I ......"
Tang Feng interrupted him with a smile and said, "Hunter, in fact, no matter what you do, I will never forget your support and help to me. ”
"Besides, I guess you're going to support me in making this movie anyway, right?"
Hunter knew that Tang Feng didn't want to embarrass him too much, so he changed his tone and said, "No matter what, I will stand on your side and support you with all my might." ”
He said it very resolutely, Tang Feng could see that this should be his sincere words, and he no longer had any doubts about his hesitation just now, but held his outstretched hand heavily.
On the other side, Anne looked at her man with great satisfaction and made the choice she deserved.
Wilton showed an intriguing smile, "This kid is really popular, so many people are willing to help him." ”
"I'm absolutely not mistaken, as long as he is given a chance, he will become a great weapon!"
