"Lu Shao, I really want to buy this Dimen Pictures." He Zheng asked with the information in his hand.

"Of course." Lucifer nodded, casually asking rhetorically, "How's it going?" How do you feel after reading the materials? ”

For him, making movies is not only a quick money, but also safer. Although the stock market makes money faster, no government likes to have such a person, so use the stock market as an ATM! He understands the principle of accepting when he sees a good thing, and it is still practical to do some industry or invest in industry.

"I checked the Hollywood studios in the past ten years, and the competition is really fierce, and it is important for General Manager Jesse Powers to survive in such an environment." He Zheng analyzed rationally, "But a profitable company, will they sell it to us at such a low price?" ”

"Victory, how's it going?" Lucifer glanced at Li Shengli from the rear mirror.

"I found out that the owner of Dimen Pictures has lost a lot of money in other businesses, and they urgently need cash to plug the hole, if we want to buy it, the price can be lower." Li Shengli said calmly, "He is not interested in movies himself, it can be said that the company has not collapsed all these years is due to Jesse Powers, Lu Shao, you won't fire him!" ”

"Such a capable talent, why do you think I want to fire him?" Lucifer said indifferently.

"However, once a son of heaven and a courtier, after I saw the acquisition of the company, I basically swept the floor and went out." Zhou Baoguo said.

"It's different!" Lucifer glanced at them and said, "As for the difference, you can think about it for yourselves!" ”

Hollywood today is a diverse, vibrant, and vibrant downtown area. It has taken on a significant symbolic role in the culture of the United States of America. It can be said that the history of Hollywood is the history of the development of cinema in the United States of America. However, the distribution of movie studios has long been limited to a corner of Hollywood, and Hollywood and its surrounding cities such as Burbank form the center of the American film and television industry.

The company where Lucifer lives is located in Burbank. It also belongs to the category of Hollywood.

D, what a resounding name! How many people's dreams!

Hollywood is no longer just a geographical term, it is often used directly to refer to the film industry in southern California. Countless people were fascinated by it, and countless men and women came to it with dreams: the letters "holly.d" in large white letters, which today become one of the symbols of Hollywood, were billboards set up by a builder to promote a new residential community, and in 1932 a new actress could not afford to fail. He committed suicide by falling off a cliff on the "D" of this symbol. So now people are forbidden to approach this sign. You can only take photos through a telescope on the observatory.

Jessie? Bowers loves movies, and like many Americans who dream of stardom, he chose acting when he was in college. After graduating from college, he broke into Hollywood in a hurry, and once naively thought that he could make a big difference, but reality taught him a solid lesson. After trying it many times, he realized that maybe he didn't have that talent.

One cannot live because of dreams. So he bent his waist for five buckets of rice, but he was unwilling to leave the movie. Therefore, joining Dimen Pictures can be regarded as getting closer to his ideals, and he has been doing this for nearly 20 years.

But his boss was not very interested in movies, and the investment seemed to be just hot-headed back then. After investing, I don't care much, just so that sometimes I can invite my business friends into the box to watch a movie.

Jesse Powers still can't figure out why they invested in the first place. After he became the general manager. Barely guaranteed to survive these ten years, there are too many companies like this in Hollywood. I don't know how many people close every day.

Today is in a bad mood. When I woke up in the morning, I had a lot of accidents, like stepping on dog shit, and it was terrible.

There is no worst, only worse, just biting into the blackened slice of bread when the phone rings.

On the phone, the boss said that he wanted to talk to him, and he knew that the Dimen Film Company, which he had served for nearly 20 years, had been sold.

This damn war, damn economy, the boss's business has been worse every year in the past two years, and he has heard about it.

But what he didn't expect was that the boss actually reached the point of selling the film company. Powers' dream is that the boss will one day pay a sum of money to make a movie that will make a Hollywood sensation, but that dream has not yet come true. He didn't want to compete with giant companies like Fox, Paramount, and Columbia, he just wanted to see the company he managed produce a good movie.

What he didn't expect was that the boss actually sold the company to the people of Xiangjiang. He had the impression that Asians were old-fashioned and cautious, did they understand art? And Hollywood is a place controlled by Wall Street, where money speaks, he doesn't believe that Asians will have the courage to invest in making a big-budget movie, how many wealthy people want to occupy a place in Hollywood, but what a tragic word! And he doesn't want to serve Asians who respect the superior and inferior, he is an American who advocates freedom!

"Working under a new yellow-skinned boss, I think I should consider finding another way to make a living!" Bowers said to himself in his heart.

The negotiations between the two sides proceeded quickly, taking only three days. Just like going to the supermarket to buy a can of Coke, and there was not even the bargain he expected, it seems that the boss really needs a lot of cash to make up for the shortfall in the business.

The next day, Bowers met the new boss, which was also the time limit set by Bowers for his decision to go or stay, and he had to see what kind of person the new boss was and whether it was worth staying.

Jesse Powers came to the apartment in the city center, called up, and within three minutes saw Lucifer and He Zheng out of the building.

The first impression is so young! I feel about the same age as my son. Seeing his new boss, he doesn't look like a businessman, and he feels that it's better to roll up and roll up.

In his eyes, this may be the kid from the rich family, who has money and no place to spend, buys a film company to play, and bubbles a female star by the way. It's purely money burning......

"Hello, Mr. Jesse Powers! I'm Lucifer. Lucifer introduced himself, and in his eyes Jesse Powers was a typical American, dressed casually, but very serious in his work, and never sloppy, as can be seen from the fact that he runs the company.

"Hello, I'm He Zheng! Mr.'s assistant. He Zheng introduced himself.

"Mr. Lucifer, I'm Jesse Powers, you can just call me Jesse." Bowers said cautiously.

Despite all the speculation in his heart, in the face of the new boss, this professionalism is absolutely professional.

"Jesse, you came to pick me up in person, thank you so much!" Lucifer smiled, but was amused by his deference.

But it can also be understood, whether ancient or modern, or East and West, the rich one is the uncle, and the words are not rough.

"It's okay, this is what I should do, you are not very familiar with this place, I came to pick you up so that you can familiarize yourself with the environment in the Los Angeles area as soon as possible, which will be beneficial to your future work." Bowers then added, "Mr. Lucifer, do you live permanently in the United States?" He was a little surprised by the other party's pure American English.

"No, in fact I've only been in the U.S. for a month." Lucifer replied with a smile.

Of course, the previous life is not counted, as for not being familiar with Los Angeles? He couldn't have lost his eyes closed, not even in Los Angeles in the seventies.

"Oh! Lucifer, I am amazed by your English, I can't see that English is your second language. Bowers complimented with a smile.

I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and it was good to be able to communicate, but I was really afraid that I would become a nanny, and I was even more afraid that the new boss would do something that he couldn't understand.

"Language is just a tool." Lucifer said indifferently.

It's not enough to only have communication skills, but it's not so easy to manage a company, "What you said makes sense, but if you are worried about not managing Dimen Pictures in the future, don't worry, I will deliver all the details to you one by one!" Bowers assured, then opened the back door of his car, but Lucifer refused, and instead sat in the passenger seat.

"Sitting in the back, we have a distinction between up and down, between host and guest, and between intimacy and intimacy. Sit in the front, and we'll be equal. Lucifer's eyes twinkled, and he looked at him calmly.

"Listen to it!" Lucifer's move made Powers feel good.

Seeing this, He Zheng had no choice but to sit behind Lucifer.

After the three got into the car, Powers drove down the main road.

"You can think of me as the boss, and my purpose is the movie itself, not to run a company." Lucifer's deep eyes glanced at Bowers, who was concentrating on the posture, and said, "You have served this company for nearly twenty years, and you have made a small company live a good life in Hollywood, which is full of peers, and who else would be more suitable to be the general manager of this company than you?" ”

Bowers was a little puzzled and glanced at the new boss suspiciously.

"There is a saying in China that 'the tree falls and the tree is scattered,' which means that if the backbone of this organization leaves, other people who are attached to the backbone will leave, because the new backbone will usually start anew." Lucifer's deep and narrow eyes looked ahead, "However, I don't see it that way, I won't interfere in the management of the company, you!" Mr. Jesse Powers remains the General Manager of Dimen Pictures. Not only that, I need you to recruit people, because we need to do a big job! ”

Bowers said happily, "Really? Mr. Lucifer, do you really want to invest in making movies? Lucifer's favorability has grown to 90 percent in his mind, "but now the world is not good, the market is sluggish, and making movies is very risky." ”

As a professional manager, he has the obligation to remind the new boss that movies do not rely on enthusiasm, it requires not only professional knowledge, but also always grasp the pulse of the market, and of course, some luck. It's the same as gambling! Because no one knows if this movie will be popular or not, and whether it will have a good box office. (To be continued)
