Whether you are poor or rich, whether you are healthy or sick, I love you and respect you until death separates us - this marriage vow can probably be changed to 'until divorce separates us' in Hollywood, in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, divorce and marriage are simply commonplace, and stars are used to using prenuptial agreements to protect themselves, but even in Beverly Hills, it should not be common for a couple like Jenny and Cesare to consider the timing and method of divorce when they get married. After all, the absolute number of celebrities who really need to hype up with fake marriages is not so much.

This marriage is definitely going to be divorced, how to divorce? Of course, the most convenient thing is to divorce after a few months after the Disney shares bought in Jenny's name enter the release period and can be transferred again, so that all legal formalities can be completed smoothly, without making news and attracting some unwanted attention. What's more, according to the time of Jenny's shareholding and the two-year lifting period, this point in time should be after March 2012 - in terms of the big movement when they were engaged, divorce after one year of marriage, no matter what the reason, will make Jenny a laughing stock, before the two sides reached a tacit understanding in May 2012, the whole marriage lasted for three years, not long or short, it is very convenient for everyone: it is also because the marriage period is relatively long, and the two parties have also agreed on the details of how to cover, although so far, Because both of them were busy with their schedules, this agreement was not practiced.

Although the excuse for divorce has not been discussed yet, in any case, it is a bit too early to talk about the details of the divorce almost two years in advance, right?

"Are you saying it's not in place to start hyping up from now on?" Jenny asked curiously, which was also the inference from the conversation between the two just now, "Of course, the long separation between the two places - emotional discord - is logically smooth, but is it a little too early?" After all, after that, it is basically a separation and divorce, which will give people a feeling of turning against each other, which is not good for you to continue to be the CEO in the future. ”

They have discussed before that the general direction of divorce is still 'love becomes family affection, and amicable breakup' is the main thing, unless the two people's respective 'private affairs' are discovered, and the evidence is conclusive, they will use love into an excuse to divorce, which is of course convenient for continuing to work closely after the divorce.

"There's no need to hype it up," Cesare frowned - it didn't seem like he was thinking deeply about it, and it was rare to think about it while talking, "From the time we got married to the present, our thinking has been the same as the hype of the '09 Oscars, we are actively trying to convince the public to believe the story, which is essentially a counter-argument, you always need to explain the fact that we have been away for a long time, and you have to confront the public's common-sense understanding of marriage, which will also encourage the media to continue to release negative news, They knew that if they published a few more stories, they would be able to get some posed street photos. But what if we give up on persuasion? The public can imagine for themselves, we will not give any response, of course, that does not mean that we will not be in the same camera in the future-"

"I see what you mean." Jenny said quickly, "Just don't respond to the negative media coverage -- like Brad and Angelina, it doesn't matter how people interpret our relationship, so maybe it won't stir up too much talk on the day of the divorce." ”

"Yes, after all, three years is still not too long for such a grand proposal, and it is always going to be ridiculed," Cesaret paused, "or it can't be ridiculed—this kind of scandal is commonplace for legendary actresses, and if it weren't for such a few untimely marriages, your image might be too perfect and become false." Acknowledging that you've failed sometimes isn't a big deal, but it can help your public image. - Yes, we have had problems since we got married for a year, and the passion has faded too quickly after a long separation, and we are still more suitable to be relatives......

"Understood." Jenny grinned: it was good news for her to be able to spare a job she didn't enjoy so much. "I'm fine, of course, I'll have to say hi to Judy tomorrow."

Seeing the subtle change in Cesare's expression, she couldn't help but feel amused - Cesare had always disliked performing in front of the public, even though he had no psychological pressure when he arranged for others to put on a show, "However, this incident has made me think a little lower about you, to be honest, Chesa, I didn't expect you to be such a person." ”

Cesare's words were obviously unexpected, and he raised his eyebrows in a startled, even defensive, gesture - he raised his hand in front of him, as if to defend himself against Jeanne's next joke, which made him lose all the commercial, formulaic focus between his eyebrows, and look extraordinarily young, "What? ”

"Remember what you said to me every time I had to force myself to do something nasty?" Jenny crossed her feet under her, straightened her back solemnly with her waist crossed, and lowered her voice. "Strive for excellence, Jefferson, forever - but now, ah, it's time to pose again, I hate it, hmm...... Is there any way I can escape it? Thought of it! Let's think differently! ”

"But in fact," Cesare defended himself at once. "The reason why I was able to take a detour is because I came up with another idea, which doesn't mean that I have lower my expectations-"

Glancing at Jenny, he smiled faintly, as if he had anticipated Jenny's reaction, but finished speaking, "It's more like an IQ advantage, isn't it?" If you're smart enough, you'll always find a second, less effortless way. ”

"So you mean I'm not smart enough?" Jenny raised her voice.

Cesare, however, was still quick to say, "If you still don't understand what I mean, if you still need to ask, I think the answer is self-evident." ”

Jenny pulled a pillow from behind her waist and threw it at him, and Cesare raised his head and laughed, "So, you've given up on beating me IQ now?" ”

After throwing away the two or three pillows, Jeanne couldn't help but laugh - Cesare sometimes owes a lot, and even more so because he was smart. "Exactly, did you pique my interest in communicating with you with my fists - did you watch the movie? Remember what Kelly said to Tom? It's not a good thing that the boss is too smart. ”

"As far as the current equity relationship of Dameng is concerned, you are my boss." Cesare gave her the pillow back, turned the computer back on, and said in a serious tone, "Are you going to receive some mail?" It's been a few weeks since the company's earnings report for the last quarter came out, but you've been in Yosemite before, and I didn't forward it to you. ”

Jenny hugged her head and groaned. groaned, but finally nodded, "Send it over, I'll find time to read it - do you have any thoughts on the caricature I said today?" ”

"It's actually not difficult to set up a comic studio, as long as you are willing to pay a high salary, it's always easy to find an artist." "It's at the bottom of the chain, so we won't have a hard time getting there, but if you're asking me for my opinion, it's okay to wait until the first week of Codename Shero comes out." ”

"You mean—" said Jenny.

"Hmm." Cesare nodded. "DC or Marvel definitely want to eat her, and if there is a competitive relationship, it will be more beneficial for us."

Marvel is now the same as Big Dream, both Disney Department, Warner as an investor, both sides are qualified, this competitive situation is relatively natural, both sides can also realize this, and they will bid frantically without the big dream inducing - of course, provided that the popularity of "Codename Shero" is really so high.

"In that case, there will be another expense," said Jeanne, not objecting to Cesare's meaning, but with a slight frown, "we have a lot of cash on our books—do we want to pay dividends?" ”

"At least for now, the company really has nowhere to spend money without developing the TV business." "Executing dividends should be a better way to do it, at least until the next payment cycle, we really can't find any projects to invest in," Cesare said. ”

This is the scale limit of the film industry, companies in the expansion period are generally short of money, but for Big Dream, the plate is limited, the current annual output has basically reached the limit of the existing staff, even if you want to expand the staff to increase production, you can't find a suitable project, this line of winners take all, losers lose everything The rule also limits the company's endless expansion, so Big Dream is now holding the abundant cash settled back in the first phase of "Avatar", and he really doesn't know what to do with it. I thought I could use a little money to open a comic studio.,But now I don't even have to prepare this money.,If you want to open a new project.,Now there are two series of YA movie dreams.,Funny films are also ready to make a film with the SNL gang to test the water.,There is also "Dragon and Tiger Boys", action blockbusters have the "SHERO" series, it is not appropriate to distract from the effort, if you want to develop new projects, that is, art films and love movies, two high-risk money-losers, in this regard, Jenny's prophetic gold finger can't play a role at all, And Cesare has not been interested in these two fields for the time being, and has found good scripts, so, in general, the film field, the big dream seems to have nothing to worry about in the next few years, which is a lot of cash and I don't know how to invest.

"You know, it's actually a really good time to do a TV series." Jenny did find it difficult to settle into life in Los Angeles when she first returned from Yosemite, but once she got used to it, she knew that she would have to take a few more days to get away from the glitz and glamour of Yosemite — but it was just as fascinating, and as much of a reality sensation as the success of Codename Shero, she was fascinated by the reality sensation. Jenny moved, looking at Cesare with some caution. "Now that we are a subsidiary of Disney, we should still have a very good advantage in ABC, even if we don't sell to ABC, we don't have to worry about not having a TV station to negotiate with us in the name of Big Dream -- of course, the situation is much better now than it was four or five years ago."

Not long after the big dream was founded, before and after Cesare decided to join, the two of them did intend to invest in several self-made dramas of big TV stations to share the cost of the first season, but because the TV series that major TV stations were willing to look for investment in were all on the street - they were interested in investing in CBS's "The Big Bang Theory", but this kind of comedy with the biggest cost is the actor's salary, almost no TV stations will come out to seek investment, and the ones that will seek investment are science fiction TV series with a large investment like "The Edge of Crisis", And the ratings of this kind of TV series are often not high, and they can't make much money in advertising fees, and Big Dream didn't come out to do charity, and in the end they still didn't take the blame.

However, both were new to production at the time, and even Cesare never really brought a film, and Jeanne had only a few pieces of experience. And now, Big Dream can even make "Codename Shero" by himself, making a TV series is no longer a problem, and he is also a lot more generous in terms of funds - the investment in a season of TV series is about 100 million US dollars, such an upfront investment is no longer a problem for Big Dream, and they can afford it. And if you can make your own TV series, the first round, the second round of broadcast rights, overseas copyrights, DVD, on-demand and other income belong to the production company, big TV just buy the first round of broadcast rights, if the ratings are good, the price of the broadcast rights in the following year will also increase - in short, Da Meng now has the right to enjoy the first-class contract, even if ABC refuses to give, other TV stations can give a superior contract to negotiate the price every year, instead of some small production platforms, a low price is signed for a few years, even if the ratings are good, and they don't have much to do with either. For Big Dream, now is an ideal time to enter the game, except for ......

"It's a good idea to add a TV production company, but it's really hard to find the right people to manage at the moment," Cesare shook his head, "and the staff in both the distribution and production departments are too immature, and it seems too rash for the head of a subsidiary to recruit through headhunters." ”

A CEO who can grasp the daily administrative affairs of the company, and has excellent professional ability is indeed not so easy to find, Jenny's lips moved, and she did not speak: In fact, the most reasonable way is, of course, for her to temporarily manage Big Dream Movies for a period of time, let Cesare catch Big Dream TV, and wait until Big Dream TV is on the right track, or select, or hire a suitable person externally, and then return to Big Dream Movies to take the helm. However, that also means that she can't make films for a long time, and this is really unacceptable to her.

"Then let's do the dividends first," she exhaled, and said with some humility: with the current relationship between the two, Jeanne no longer needs to worry about Cesare taking away the dominance, on the contrary, this dominance has long been a burden, and they should be fighting over the question of who bears less - and although Cesare has never expressed his desire to return to the helm, and has not complained about her move to leave the company business and run to Yosemite, but because of her own private career, it has affected the development of the company, She still has a somewhat troubled conscience. "At least for half a year, we won't have to worry about that."

By the beginning of next year, the DVD revenue of "Avatar" and the dividends such as TV broadcast rights and peripherals should be in full amount, and that would mean a lot of cash.

Cesare nodded, and did not grasp the words that Jenny deliberately gave, and chased after the TV series, "Remove the expenditure of "Dragon Tiger Boys", leave a sum for the SNL comedy, and of course, the publicity and distribution expenses of "The Hunger Games", we should be able to get more than 60 million dividends." ”

As for the rest of the receivables, there is naturally a place to come from - this is also the reason why Jenny needs to see the financial report, a company of this size, there is money flow almost every day, without the financial report, it is impossible for her to understand the financial overview of Big Dream now.

"That's more than 30 million people per person." Jenny snorted, "How are you going to spend it?" ”

"Diversification." Cesare replied without surprise, "Although the stock market is in a downturn now, it is also a good time to enter the game, and in the long run, stocks, bonds, and funds are still good tools to fight inflation." ”

"It's the same as Kim told me - are you sure you won't lose money?" Jenny asks - after years of hard work, after "Avatar", she has finally completed her transformation, from always having limited savings to having sufficient cash, and needs to consider the proposition of 'fighting inflation' for the rich. "I think there's a lot of stock in my assets, you know, Disney shares, big dream shares — I want to try something different."

"You mean?" Cesare raised his eyebrows in some surprise, as if he hadn't expected Jenny to have this side.

"Why do you think of me like that?" Jenny said defensively, "Can't I just have my own view of investing?" I didn't have any money before—"

She couldn't go on anymore, and chuckled and broke the score, "It's an idea that popped up tonight, I think—my intuition—"

She laughed a few times before saying, "Tell me, the mobile app is still quite profitable, and it just so happened that I met a man named Charles at the party tonight. Colin's guy, he said he was the founder of TikTok, the ticket app that had been going viral on mobile lately, and of course, he was a fan of mine, and we had a lot of speculation. He said that the company is preparing to raise a series A round of financing recently, and it feels like a good opportunity, what do you think? ”

"I've heard of tikt," Cesare said noncommittal, opening his calendar and glancing at it, "I'm free for lunch this Thursday, give me his phone number, and I'll have lunch with him." ”

"-Uh, okay." Jeanne said she was a little surprised: although nominally, the two are now husband and wife, but in reality they are financially independent of each other, and this kind of investment behavior is not Cesare's responsibility, and now the intersection of his and Jenny's personal acting careers, except for the occasional cameo as a planner for her, is actually becoming less and less. Even out of friendship, Cesare didn't seem to be so deeply involved, and his style would be to recommend a pretty good financial planner, just like he did to her Maggie......

Looking down and rummaging through Kun's bag, Jenny wanted to make a few jokes about him, but after looking at Cesare's side face and hesitating, she swallowed the unspoken words, as well as the slightest embarrassment and weirdness, and silently presented Charles's business card with both hands.
