"It's already over 1.8 billion ......"

Shut down the news page of Disney Films' new CEO Richie. Rose spun around on the leather chair, smiled bitterly at the computer, picked up a stack of scripts placed in front of the monitor, and gently flicked its cover with his fingers, "It's already 1.8 billion, can this script still be sent?" ”

Pinching his forehead - although he has only been in office for four months, Rich already feels several years old, he mechanically opened YouTube and browsed the highlights of this morning's news report: "Avatar" became the global box office dominant, the final box office is unpredictable, the Golden Globe Awards red carpet will start at 5 p.m., Marvel directors gather at the New York headquarters to witness the Disney logo hanging on the Marvel headquarters building......

Seeing a blurry figure in a suit on a news screenshot, Richie pouted - he knew Cesare. Vijerry and his wife will certainly bombard all kinds of news pages tomorrow, including financial news: whether "Avatar" wins the best movie or not, Disney will announce the news after it becomes the global box office champion - with the successful completion of Disney's agreement to buy Marvel, the Vijeris who originally held Marvel shares will become Disney shareholders, plus Disney intends to lift the ban on some of the company's shares from entering the market in order to pay off the shares paid to Marvel shareholders. According to the agreement between Disney and Big Dream, Jennifer. Jefferson will be able to buy $160 million worth of shares at the bargain price at the time of signing the agreement, and the couple will be able to fully fulfill their rights, which will make them hold nearly 10 million shares of Disney, which is still not as good as Jobs, but the 0.5% share is already the highest among individual shareholders.

This is not the end of the whole news, Disney also intends to hint that in the upcoming board election, Jennifer. There is a high probability that Jefferson will be on Disney's board of directors as an independent director, and Bob believes this will increase investor confidence in Disney, as well as Disney and Big Dream, and Jennifer. Jefferson's relationship became even closer. Of course, this also means that the position under Richie's ass has become even less attractive......

Although it has been four months since he joined the company, it stands to reason that he is enough to 'replace the old with a new generation', insert his own people within the Disney movies, and follow his own ideas to arrange the development strategy of the headquarters in the next few years, but Rich still has no real feeling of becoming a CEO himself: President Bob. Iger turned a blind eye to him, was very cold, and continued to skip him and directly order the departments, suspected of putting him in the air, and Roy, who supported him at that time. Disney, whose condition deteriorated a few days ago, unfortunately passed away. The fact that the Disney Family Foundation has yet to elect a second Disney who is expected to represent the family on the board of directors makes it difficult for Ridge to find a second firm ally among the conservatives, or at least that potential opposition is also on the sidelines of him, and they do not intend to favor him until he has shown enough determination or valuable value. It can be said that although Disney has been receiving good news in the past four months, none of the good news has given him any blessings, and at the same time, his opponent Dream is soaring, and has reached a new level in these four months - if Roy had not died of illness, there was a high probability that he would have been angry to death at this time: in just a few months, Dameng, who had been regarded as a cash cow in the group, suddenly swelled in terms of prestige and wealth, and now he can even be on an equal footing with the headquarters, even, If you only look at the projects in development, you will not even know who is the main company in the group, and Jennifer is very optimistic about it. Jefferson, who has now become one of the leaders who pose the greatest threat to the department, is now about to enter the board of directors, and even if Roy tries to stop it, he is afraid that he will fail hard at the box office of "Avatar".

In today's United States, quantitative easing is the favorite topic of the rich, the financial crisis has made all the rich people in a money shortage, and Disney, which is obviously more willing to pay than Paramount, also smoothly negotiated the acquisition agreement with Marvel, and in everyone's surprise, the news was announced half a month ago. Disney bought Marvel for $4.4 billion, and Marvel shareholders will get $30 in cash and 0.7452 shares of Disney stock, which gives the Vejeris 120 million yuan in cash and 2.98 million shares of Disney stock (equivalent to about 100 million in cash), in this transaction they made a net profit of 100 million - in July last year, they sold the rights to the "Iron Man" series back to Marvel for 100 million, at the time, many people saw this news as a symbol of the weakness of the big dream, But this short-term deal made everyone shut their mouths, a year, double the income, the whole transaction process is extremely low-risk, and even many people have discovered that the Verjellis hold Marvel shares - Disney buys Marvel, the connection between the two, there are already rumors within the company, Jennifer. The reason why Jefferson sold the copyright was only because she promised Bob to be his advance army and get the list for him, and the seat on the Disney board of directors was Bob's reward for her.

Since the acquisition agreement has been roughly formed in September, similar rumors Richie also received the news very early, and he saw the company's senior management and shareholders' agents change their attitudes towards this rumor step by step: in September, the ratio of support and opposition was about 55 kai, which is about the same as the proportion of enlightened and conservative people within the company, and when the reputation of "Nine" failed, but after the box office was profitable, the proportion of support began to rise, and the support rate of "Avatar" fell to nearly 0 in the week when the box office was 2 billion. Even those who are optimistic and believe in Jennifer shake their heads when they mention the idea of 'Jennifer on the board' that week, "no matter how good her acting skills and investment vision are, she is not suitable to be a director at the moment."

However, when "Avatar" began to be released, everything was of course changed by the box office, and Richie was certain that it only took a month to reach 1.8 billion, and no one would object to Jennifer's addition - who would? Even she wouldn't object. The box office of "Avatar" does not represent a huge amount of money, it represents a trend, a phenomenon, an industry trend that can wash away the laggards, and in such an era of change, who would not welcome a pioneer who accurately grasps the pulse of the times into the company's decision-making level? Compared to the tide on the cusp of the waves, Richie himself felt a little old—he no longer felt thrill and excitement in front of the raging waves, but instinctively held his breath, and even felt a trace of fear.

The explosion of the movie "Avatar" drove Fox's stock price up sharply, and made IMAX a star in the spotlight - and the paradox is that Disney's stock price also skyrocketed, although the stock stock was released, but the price did not fall. In Richie's view, this may be due to the restoration of investors' confidence in Jennifer, but the credit for the rise in the stock price at the right time belongs to Disney's acquisition of Marvel - which also became Bob. With the second acquisition that Iger successfully led, his position in the company was more secure, and he played a great role in the acquisition (which is rumored to be her advice), Jennifer's personal prestige and net worth rose sharply, and there was no doubt that they were the big winners in the company's internal struggles, and they had an advantage by virtue of their achievements, which made Richie even more torn. He himself wants to do a little bit of success in this position, instead of continuing to be embarrassed and reduced to a stamped mascot, however, if he falls to Bob's side now, will it be a little too late?

Once again, I flicked and printed "John on Mars. On the cover of the word "Kurt", Richie smiled self-deprecatingly, in fact, he was also clear about the situation, but he did not have the courage to make this decision before: it was very simple to gain power, and Dick's last effort before leaving had completely made the contradiction between the two factions completely concrete. If you want to join Bob, then give up this novel that was praised by Jennifer herself to Big Dream, and if you want to join the conservatives represented by Roy, then you will promote this project as soon as he takes office, whether he promotes or transfers, he can smoothly join the faction, find a position that is not low, and get powerful help, at least so that he can carry out his own film project, but it is hesitation that ruins all this. Now that the box office is already so high, if he chooses to promote this project, wouldn't he jump out and give Bob Tree a target who is proud of the spring breeze? It is not impossible for him to take advantage of the current wave to take himself away, and even considering the adverse effects of frequent changes, it is possible that Bob will completely empty himself and take advantage of this to clean up the opposition.

And if he chooses to take refuge in ...... This novel is a good project that Jennifer pointed out, you can give it up early, and you can still have a high-sounding excuse to maintain the peace of the company, balabala, even in the days when "Avatar" was just a few days after the box office came out, it can still be said to be flexible and responsive. A month has passed now, and "Avatar" has officially been canonized, and you will come to beg for mercy like a dog again? Although self-esteem in the workplace is not worth a few cents, this kind of public self-slapping behavior will also directly lead to a sharp decline in his prestige in the hearts of insiders - but almost all Hollywood knows about this matter, how will he mix in the industry in the future?

However, Richie's main concern right now is not that—what he really cares about is Bob. Iger and Jennifer. The talent reserve in Jefferson's hands: face, he can not care, but he can't tolerate himself to make a loss-making business, at this time to join Bob, he has to pay in addition to self-esteem, and all the favor of conservatives, but it is difficult to get back the trust of Bob and Jennifer, and he will not trust a subordinate who will wait until he no longer needs help to help, and even Richie can be sure that if he changes places, he may only be with this untrustworthy repeated villain for a period of time, and kick him away at the first opportunity, Replace it with someone more suitable.

However, the candidate for the CEO of the film company is not so easy to find, excluding external employment (the trustworthiness of external talents is lower than that of Ritchie, and everyone who can be approved by the board of directors is naturally ambitious and senior, and will not be a loyal dog of Bob and Jennifer), in the Bob faction within the company, is there a suitable candidate who is eager to try, just waiting for a suitable opportunity?

Virgilia. Vijeri was one, but she and Cesare. Vijri's kinship makes all this very awkward, so the likelihood is low, and as for others, they tend to favor Bob, and they don't mind the candidates for the headquarters to be suppressed by Big Dreams......

"Welcome back to the show, the next thing to talk about should be the topic that everyone cares about - James. Can Cameron get a Ballon d'Or? Dean, what do you think about this? Will the Golden Globes choose the traditional, insurance "Bomb Disposal Unit" and "Millionaire", or will they follow the will of the people and choose "Avatar"? ”

"Well, if "Avatar" only has a box office of $800 million, then I will answer you without hesitation, it is definitely not "Avatar."

Amid the laughter of the hostess, the guest commentator continued, "And now, the will of the people is clearly boiling like water, and their attitude has been expressed quite clearly, and we can see how much support for this film is if we look through social media." ”

"yes, wow, look at the big screen to these words: #阿凡达拿最佳电影#为什么最佳电影总是闷死人的电影得? It's not "Avatar" but "Millionaire" -- I guess the spokesperson must be Jennifer. Jefferson fans. ”

"Avatar is the greatest movie of all time, and it turned my life upside down just as much as an iPod." Dean also recited, "Well, obviously, this tweet is from the iPhone. ”

"One thing is for sure, the effective ratings for tonight's Golden Globes are going to be very high, and Avatar brings young viewers back to the TV, and that's the most important thing – young people really care about it, and they connect with the film."

"Yes, they're almost screaming for more movies of this genre, subversive special effects, very real alien planets, not a few perfunctory special effects shots, a different world that immerses you in the scene. Avatar has captured the hearts of the world's young people, and in that sense, it's great enough that I think studios are already going crazy making similar projects. ”

"Haha, yes, but the long production cycle also means that there is always someone to make the first film to fail after the market is saturated. Dean, who do you think will be the first to fail? ”

"That's a complete guess, is that what you want, Dinah? - Okay, okay, if I had to guess, just let me guess, Sony. ”

"Sony."

"Sony."

"Because of the six major film companies, that is, the only one of the six companies in Hollywood that can afford to make "Avatar", this one has not cooperated with Big Dream?"

"I could find many reasons to prove my conjecture, but I'm going to say, yes, you're right, Dinah, and I, like all short-sighted investors, have very sufficient, even blind, faith in Jennifer right now."

"Well, then I'm going to say, Dean, you're wrong about this argument because as far as I know, Sony has reopened negotiations with Big Dream about the Spider-Man franchise......"

Turning off the TV, Rich shook his head and pressed the intercom phone, "Is Bob at the office today?" ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Rich waited for a moment, and when the secretary called to inform him that Bob could now see him, Rich took one last look at the Mickey Mouse statue in the display case.

His steps grew heavy in the eyes, and it seemed as if it could change all his decisions—the animations, the things that inspired him to jump ship to Disney, and even the things that inspired him to get into the film industry."

The outstretched hand paused in mid-air, and Richie could hear his own breathing, ringing roughly......

In the end, he still grabbed the script, stood up and walked to the door: the last person who wanted to go against the times has been kicked out of the company, the Hollywood Big Six are amiable in front of Big Dreams, and it is not mean to even say that they look like dogs, the film companies for the purpose of producing art are dead, and the current film companies are just golf clubs in the hands of the rich, their purpose is to chase profits, and art is nothing but a by-product, dignity, persistence, tradition...... It's all a by-product of profits, and the more you rely on that, the sooner you'll be out. can only be the same as Dick, reduced to the leather bag company to live in the world, this is a dog-eat-dog world, no dignity, no persistence, no tradition, only the frenzy of the times, only great changes, only eternal profits!

Moments before opening the door, Richie stretched out his hands and tugged at his collar - a habit he had maintained since his childhood, Mickey Mouse always liked to tug at his bow tie, and without a bow tie he could only arrange the collar of his shirt - and soon, he put on a happy business smile, calmly put the cover of the script outward, and paced it under his armpit to Robert. Egger's office area.

"Richie, good afternoon."

"Richie."

"Richie."

It was lunch time, and in the promenade of the park, the employees spontaneously greeted him, and their eyes invariably fell on the shiny white A4 paper: "Hi, Richie......"

#

"Jennifer Cesare!"

"Jennifer!"

"Jane! Ah, and Chesa, sorry, it's a little hard to notice you around your radiant wife—"

The awards ceremony starts at 8 o'clock, and the red carpet session that starts live at 5 o'clock is to facilitate the interaction between guests and the media. Cameron arrived late, and the crew of "Avatar" did not engage in a family-kiss set, but walked the red carpet separately, led by James, Anthony. Ryan and Sigourney. Weaver and other actors arrived on time at around 7 o'clock, and of course received special attention from the media, but the highest in the audience. Tide and still in Jenny and her husband Cesare. When Vijri appeared, they were almost on the red carpet when they were greeted and teased by acquaintances or friends, and the media were even more focused on the two men, taking pictures and shouting.

"Look here."

"Here, here, Jennifer, can you smile at me?"

In the dense sound of the shutter, the red carpet interview team has long been waiting on the side, and even the mobile camera has been focused on the Jennifers to capture the camera, completely indifferent to the other actor who has just appeared on the red carpet.

"You're so beautiful tonight, Jennifer, is this Dior's dress?"

"Yes, after all these years of Valentino, I think sometimes we should try something new once in a while, don't you say?"

"Yes, yes, this red dress is very flattering to you, and your husband is very handsome - he came as a staff member last year, right? Of course, at the time you were already -- all just to keep a low profile. ”

"Yes, yes, thank you so much for the enthusiasm that has given me the opportunity to attend the Golden Globes for several years in a row – at one point this year I thought I could be at home with ice cream and watch TV."

"But Avatar ruined it all, didn't it?"

"Hahaha, yes, Avatar completely changed my life, I should have punched James for it."

"What about you, Cesare, how did it feel to be in front of the camera for the first time?"

"I've had some experience of being interviewed at premieres before, and of course as an agent, I've dealt with a lot of media, so it's okay, and I can barely get used to it."

"Yes, you're very experienced, and you've had a lot of Golden Balls, haven't you, Cesare?"

"Of course you know very well, because you were the one who hosted my first Golden Globe -- and I was taking Jennifer with me. Bell, really? ”

"Yes, she was interviewed by me just five minutes ago, with her husband -- she said she was very optimistic about Avatar winning Best Director, and what do you think of tonight's awards, Jennifer?"

"I'm so glad that 'Millionaire' and 'Avatar' aren't in the same group so I don't have to be torn between them, and of course I hope both films win - and to Catherine and Christopher, I can only say I'm sorry, and the next time we're not in a war zone, I'll pray for you."

"Haha, that's really humorous......"

The red carpet interview was not your average reporter's inquiry, there was a strict topic range, and questions that deviated too much from the Golden Globe and the movie would be criticized, so Jeanne and Cesare were able to escape a whole bunch of tricky topics, just discussing the painless box office and awards, but although the interview ended quickly, the camera followed them until they walked into the venue and reluctantly withdrew - but that didn't mean they would get some private time, even though there were no cameras in the venue for the time being. But there are many acquaintances, and most of them have a lot to say to them.

"Jennifer, dear, it's been a long time, how long will you stay in Los Angeles this time? You know what, you really don't look like a proper resident of Beverly Hills-" Of course, radiant Jennifer. Bell was the first person to come over to say hello, and now she is filming "OZ", relying on Disney's relationship to find an opportunity to show her face at the Golden Globe, which can be regarded as promoting the movie, and making a comeback debut - always so good at drilling, but Jenny can feel that after the box office of "Avatar", Bell's attitude towards her this time is much more natural, perhaps because the 2 billion box office has completely convinced her and extinguished the mind of comparing with herself, and her affectionate attitude is now much more natural than before. "Georgia has been clamoring for you to come to dinner at home, but you and Cesare are too busy."

"Jennifer-Chesa-you boy!" This year's most powerful contender for the best actor, Jeff. Bridges, who is also the villain of Iron Man 1, raised his finger at Cesare and nodded a few times in a childish manner, "It's finally here, you must honor your glass of wine today-"

“j.j！” With "Iron Man", he turned from black to red, and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Musical Comedy with "Sherlock Holmes". Donnie stepped forward with a smile and shook Jenny's hand, "-I don't know if I should hate you or not, J.J., I've already told Chesa that Sherlock Holmes can't even win a championship, and it's hard not to be jealous." ”

"It's not losing money, is it?" With his hands in his pockets, Chris stepped forward with some ruffianness, raised his fist and slapped Jenny, "Hey, are you two avoiding me and saying you want to eat together, but I haven't received your call yet." ”

"We both came back to Los Angeles this morning and at noon." Jenny told him, "I've read the script though, and the general idea is fine, but the director might be very important — hey! ”

Putting Chris aside for the time being, Jenny hugged James, Anthony and the other crew members several times, "J.J, listen, we're going to Fox for a celebration party after tonight, you know, I've got a job to get you there." ”

"I'm fine, but are you sure James won't be asleep? I think he's sleepy right now......"

If you want to select the happiness index within the venue, the crew of "Avatar" must be among the best, the happiness index remains high, and being able to participate in this movie that is the global box office champion, even if the remuneration is the same, it also makes the actors feel honored, not to mention that Fox has already released his words before, and dividends will be given after the box office breaks 2 billion, so whether they are nominated or not, whether the movie will win the award or not, the crew members are very excited, and the cohesion is unprecedentedly strong, James. Cameron wasn't angry at all when he was teased like this, but spread his hands with a smile, "I expected this, so I started to take caffeine precautions this morning." ”

"Do you think we'll be able to break 2.5 billion before the Oscars?"

"Yes, if you give us a little more oracle, will the box office exceed 2.5 billion before the Oscars?"

This year's Oscars ceremony is late, mainly because the Winter Olympics will be held in February, so it has been postponed for two weeks, and the ceremony is scheduled to be held on March 7, according to the momentum of 2 billion in January now, there is 1 month left, if "Avatar" continues to go against the sky, it should not be a problem to break through 2.5 billion in March - in the current film screening cycle, 3 months can probably produce more than 90% of the box office of a movie, many analytical articles have pointed out that if "Avatar" If you want to break through 3 billion, you must produce at least 500 million box office in February, so that the trend can continue all the way to 3 billion.

- Hell, though, what analyst can predict the box office curve of "Avatar" now? We are miracles," the first time he starred in a movie, it was such a big hit, and now Anthony, who has a very flat star journey, couldn't hide his excitement and pulled Jenny to chatter for a while, but Jenny soon left temporarily.

"Meryl!" She hurried forward and Meryl. Streep hugged each other, "Honey, you're collecting trophies again this year." ”

"And you're on the cusp of a higher wave, aren't you?" Meryl's tone was a little kind-hearted, she looked at Jenny and shook her head again, "Every time I see you, the aura around you is a little more pompous than before-just think about the life you're living now-"

She snapped her tongue, obviously a little unimpressed by Jenny's news during this time, and Jenny was completely able to understand this - in a way, Meryl and Salvi were the same people, they paid more attention to their own artistic life, and Meryl would definitely not agree too much with Jenny's initiative to stir up business.

"I'm the owner of a company after all," whether or not it was her own choice to do these things, but now, her helpless emotions were genuine, Jenny sighed, exchanged a look with Meryl, and tacitly parted again, welcoming more acquaintances. -- Nine years later, there are not many people she doesn't know in the round table area for the nominees at the Golden Globes.

"George—got the nomination again, didn't you? Hopefully this is your lucky year. ”

"Jennifer - made history again, didn't she? Every year you can be seen firmly in the headlines. ”

"Each other, George, by the way, I'm interested in your arrest - oh, hehehe, Brad, Angelina, hi."

"Hi, J.J-"

"Jennifer, dear, long time no see."

"Ah, Julia......"

Show, in many cases to take great risks, but the return is also proportionally high, Jenny's '2 billion' did make her questioned and cold-eyed, but it also made her largely regarded as an important dominant figure in "Avatar", stealing the limelight from Fox and Cameron, it is difficult to say that the stars will not be affected by this, and in fact, no matter how much you hate Jennifer. Jefferson, in the face of this talking about filmmaking, the production ability is so strong that he has already won two best films, said acting, has three Oscars in hand, said public relations, the team has played with the public opinion of the United States at their fingertips, talking about popularity, and the people who have worked with almost never have bad reviews, saying that the handle, the handle is about equal to zero - in the face of such an existence that is strong in all aspects, no matter how much you hate her, as long as she has a normal IQ, I am afraid you will not want to come out and be hostile to her. - The big star who didn't have a little thing to see was really right with Jennifer, the team behind her with no lower limit, can blow up your black history in minutes, and at the same time, by the way, you can sit on the name of the villain, and she herself has always maintained a pure white image, and continues to be her saint without any obstacles. Jennifer.

It's normal for big Hollywood names to look down on each other, and no matter how good the producers and directors are, someone dares to mess with them. Fox even single-handedly praised his own Spielberg, Michael. Bei can turn his face, this is the personality of an artist, however, at tonight's award ceremony, whether it is a political disagreement, "In the Clouds" was rejected by Beijing. Clooney, or Brad, who rushed to the Olympics and was crushed at the box office and word of mouth. Pete, didn't show even a little dissatisfaction with Jennifer, no one was a honey-bellied sword, and no one hid a knife in his smile - at least in Jenny's feelings, everyone's smile was so sincere, and the desire to have a good relationship with her was so obvious, whether it was George, Bell or Brad, who had a faint disagreement, they had now changed to a sincere smile, and it was estimated that even if they were sarcastic to her face, they would never get angry.

This is indeed the power of power, and there is nothing better than this feeling - being in the midst of an elite group of people, you know exactly how good they are, and at the same time you can clearly see how much they want your favor -

Had it not been for Salvi's question, Jenny would have guessed that she might well have been immersed in a sense of accomplishment and intoxicated by her success, but now, even if she could not completely suppress her pleasure, she would no longer be in charge of it. When the awards ceremony was about to start and all the guests were seated, she even felt a little relieved: she could finally get out of social interaction and do something serious when she didn't have to hold the moon in front of the stars.

"Are you going well in New York?" Ignoring the teasing glances from Christopher at the next table, she moved her chair closer to Cesare, "How's 'Boys' going?" ”

"It's going pretty well and the signing ceremony is going well." Cesare's tone was also faintly tired - both of them had a full schedule, Jenny went directly to Disney and Robert for a meeting after returning to Los Angeles today, Cesare also came directly from the airport to the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, and after tonight he will fly directly to China to discuss the release of "Codename Shero", and at the same time set up the Chinese studio of Big Dream, if it weren't for controlling public opinion and reducing unnecessary speculation about marriage changes, he wouldn't even be back for the Golden Globes. "How did you talk to Bob?"

"Bob did talk about getting on the board," Jenny lowered her voice, "and of course some things about Beijing, but we spent most of our time talking about Disney -- Richie's John on Mars. Carter was returned to Bob. ”

"Ah, finally." Cesare's eyebrows twitched, but his expression remained calm. "That's really good news, what does Bob say?"

That's exactly what she really wanted to talk about tonight - glancing at the big screen, she didn't care about the "Avatar" playing in the warm-up screen, and tonight's awards: when everyone was concerned about the miracles and gains and losses of 'now', Jenny found that she, like the top CEOs, had her eyes on the next few years, she lowered her voice a little more, leaned over to Cesare's ear, covered her mouth and whispered, "I think this should have come out after the box office of 'Avatar'" - but, for Richie, Bob does have other ideas......"

The author has something to say: Note: Actually, according to the time, 2010 was February 2 before the announcement of the Oscar nominations, I seem to have written an Oscar nomination before, because it was announced in January before, so the writing was poor, wait and change -

…… The sound is so small today, and the phone rang in the quilt for a long time before I found out, hahaha......
