116 Behind the scenes
Shortly after Chen Xueqian left Warner, Joseph, an old man who had received Chen Xueqian, walked into the company's president's office. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In this spacious office, a middle-aged man is sitting behind an immensely large desk. At this time, he heard the voice of Joseph coming in, and pointed to the sofa on the side without raising his head. Motioned for him to find a place to sit down.
Soon, the middle-aged man finished processing a document in his hand before getting up and walking to the sofa area and sitting opposite Joseph.
"Is he gone?" The middle-aged man sat down and looked at Joseph and asked.
Joseph reversed his previous old-fashioned at this time, nodded with a glittering look in his eyes and said, "Just left." ”
"What do you think of this man?" The middle-aged man continued to ask.
"Very assertive, cautious and methodical, and most importantly, he exudes a kind of self-confidence, and I think if we continue to drag on like this, he may really break the contract with us at the cost of breaking the contract." Joseph spoke.
The middle-aged man didn't look happy when he heard this, but said with a worried face: "In fact, the liquidated damages are just a trivial matter, the key is that this person's age is too scary, and no one knows how far he will grow in the future." And judging by his achievements around the world, he is not the kind of kid who is lucky for a while. The future of this teenager is limitless. ”
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Joseph was silent for a while.
You must know that the person sitting in front of him is not an ordinary person, he is Jeff Robinoff, who was the president of Warner Pictures at the time, as the head of Warner Bros., one of the six major film giants in the United States, he naturally has a good eye for people.
But such a big man attaches so much importance to a teenager who is not yet 16 years old at the time, and even fears it, which shows that the teenager is extraordinary.
"The reason why I am reluctant to tear up the contract is because this man is so promising, and we had better not make a feud with him."
Listening to Robinov's words, Joseph opened his mouth to speak, but Robinov stopped him with a wave of his hand.
"I know what you mean, we may have a more stiff relationship with him if we drag it out like this, but you also know that it is impossible to cooperate with him now!"
"But I don't understand, why his cooperation with Universal is not affected?" Joseph said with some reluctance.
"That's because Hollywood can accept a second Pixar, but it can't tolerate a second Lionsgate!" Robinov said with a slightly deep gaze.
"But there are so many practitioners in Hollywood, why are they so careful and guarded against such a teenager?" Joseph asked again.
This is precisely because his age and achievements are too scary, and compared to his achievements in movies, everyone is more afraid of his ability to make money, I heard that at a young age, his personal worth has exceeded 100 million. What were we doing when we were his age? And the most terrifying thing is that his various layouts let us see the prototype of a predator who is aimed at Hollywood. Robinov sneered slightly.
This sneer is directed at several Hollywood giants. Speaking of which, he is one of those predators, but the biggest difference between him and those people is that he does not own shares in Warner. While he wasn't thinking about leaving Warner at this point, it's safe to assume that he won't be with Warner for the rest of his life. If he leaves Warner one day, what will these predators do to him?
"But it's not a way to drag it out like this!" Joseph again brings the question back to square one.
"That's why I asked you to come forward and contact him, which is actually sending a signal to him."
"Does he understand?" Joseph is a little unconvinced, after all, no matter how you look at Chen Xueqian, he is just a teenager, maybe he is very talented, but this kind of thing is more based on emotional intelligence than IQ.
This time Robinov didn't explain again, although according to Chen Xueqian's previous performances, he should have guessed his true intentions. And at the moment, it seems that this teenager is indeed very sharp.
"If you want me to say, it's better to talk to the other party directly, so it's so trouble-free!" Joseph is a typical American, and he always feels awkward about this kind of roundabout thing.
Robinov smiled at this. A lot of times, a lot of things aren't that simple. He chose to use this obscure method to tell Chen Xueqian the truth, naturally not all to tell Chen Xueqian, but also to see many of his peers! This will keep the mouths of those gloating guys in their mouths.
Having said that, Chen Xueqian, who was out of Warner, suddenly had a sudden feeling in his heart, the other party should have nothing to do with money, Warner at this time is not short of good movies at all, and there are too many high-quality scripts in their hands.
But the other party put on a villain posture. Thinking about it like this, the other party doesn't seem to be afraid that he will find out that something is wrong, and even hopes that he will find something wrong. Then the other party's intentions are quite intriguing.
The other party suddenly changed the person who contacted him, which is not like turning his face with him, but more like reminding himself in disguise that things have changed. If you really want to calculate yourself, then you don't need to do it at all.
It's just that Chen Xueqian didn't expect that he would be regarded as a thorn in the side of several major Hollywood film and television companies at this time.
As some of the biggest film giants in the United States, they shouldn't have been so narrow-minded. However, life in Hollywood has become more and more difficult in recent years. Although at this stage, Hollywood still looks like it is still full of scenery.
However, in fact, Hollywood has ushered in its first funding shortage at this time. It wasn't until the Middle East's oil tycoons entered the market that their financial pressure was eased. And as mentioned earlier, at this time, Hollywood film boutique springs out, and there is a blowout growth in production, which also makes the giants of the film industry faintly see a kind of worry.
The so-called prosperity must decline, this truth is not only understood by Chinese, but also understood by Americans.
Even so, in a sense, Chen Xueqian is not qualified enough to make Hollywood predators jealous.
However, Chen Xueqian used two scripts to trigger a fierce competition among several major Hollywood film companies. And as Chen Xueqian's many layouts surfaced, the ambitions of this teenager were almost obvious. They clearly felt that this teenager was different from those who worked in the film industry before. This teenager's posture is clearly to come up and snatch the whole pot with them.
What worries them even more is that this teenager does show this ability faintly, how can he not make Hollywood vigilant? How could they let Chen Xueqian smoothly cling to him, greedily sucking his own blood to nourish him, the future enemy?
And what they also want to do is not to ban Chen Xueqian, they just want to tell him that if he wants to mix in Hollywood, just be an editor obediently. No amount of vain attempts to challenge the studio is better not to have those ideas.
When Chen Xueqian came to the angel investment company in Manhattan, New York, the speculation in his mind had basically a direction, and the next thing to do was to start multi-party verification.
If his guess is indeed true, then he will have to figure out a way to break the game!
