Chapter 404: Greed

"Whoaβ€”"

The hot water hit the wall of the pool, and was picked up by a pair of hands and patted on the face - Jenny shook off the water droplets on her hands, raised her head and looked at herself in the mirror: It's okay, it's okay, it was a party yesterday, I was expecting a champagne spray, the full makeup is waterproof, thanks to professional makeup, she doesn't look too miserable. Novel www.

took out a makeup remover wipe and pressed it on her eyes, feeling the puffiness of her eyes, she smiled bitterly: Fortunately, she doesn't need to play tomorrow or today, otherwise this is definitely a serious disrespect.

Press, rub, wipe the wipes were thrown away, the small bottle of cleansing oil was turned out, and the whole face or even the whole body was applied: the skin on her body was also put on foundation, and she always felt uncomfortable without makeup remover.

Kneading, scrubbing, washing – then facial cleanser, essential oils, and the latest portable device. Finally, there was a large lump of face mask, from the face to the neck was all pasted green, at this time the water in the jacuzzi was also put away, poured a lot of bath salts into it, and when the bubbles came out, she stepped into the pool and let out a long breath: under the embrace of hot water, the discomfort after the hangover was finally relieved to the maximum.

"It's your choice, J.J., and the decision is yours."

"If you choose to continue, I will keep the equity but withdraw from the management of the company......"

Picking up a bunch of bubbles and blowing them out of the window, Jenny folded her feet and smiled a little under the mask, she rested her head outside the tub and looked at the fine tiles: yes, now I can't fool myself anymore, what an extremely uncomfortable feeling, the feeling of wanting to leave...... To put it bluntly, isn't it just a feeling of losing control...... Sensibility has changed in a rational disapproval, and when she doesn't know what to do with it, her instinct is, of course, to get away with it......

Falling in love with Cesare...... It is undoubtedly a very unwise choice, for her and him, this should be the most basic cognition, it has been the cornerstone of this relationship from the beginning, and they should be objects that cannot be touched by each other, whether before or after the establishment of Big Dream.

As an agent, Cesare is looking for a star who can become a legend on top of a Hollywood legend, and super-intense work, spur, and spur are all essential elements. Love? Is this a joke? Doing nude scenes for your clients, taking nude scenes for your girlfriend, having your clients go in a fake relationship with another male star, and having your girlfriend fake love with another male star are all two very different things. Not to mention that Jenny always has times when she is tired and annoyed, when she complains to her boyfriend, if her boyfriend is Cesare, doesn't it mean that she is complaining about the source of these pressures at the same time? -- Whether there is a third person or not, this is not a healthy model in terms of professional ethics alone, and it should not be in the workplace.

As a collaborator of the company, two people are in love, this is simply a joke, after the relationship is private, can you talk about business on a case-by-case basis, and how to deal with disagreements? Will it affect the relationship between the two? What about personal emotions brought to work? If Da Meng is a listed company, the news of the two falling in love is simply forcing shareholders to sell their company shares. After all, even mom-and-pop shops are very rare, let alone couples - in this regard, the family model is relatively more stable, after all, family affection is purer than love, and blood ties can never be changed. And a couple breaking up is a stranger, and it is even difficult to meet again, she and Chris are also friends after breaking up like this, and they can only do the step of being friends, and they never meet alone again, and this is a very well-handled relationship, and as far as the company is concerned, the chairman and CEO are like strangers? This is definitely the end of an up-and-coming company. In Hollywood, marriage and love are already extremely unstable, and she will definitely have to make movies outside for a large part of the year...... If Jenny were a shareholder, she would have made such a decision, investing to make money, of course, cashing out at a high level.

Of course, Big Dream has not yet been listed, but Cesare is right, in business, they have to be responsible for investors, employees of the company, and most importantly, their own business. Not to mention the problems after the real development, just thinking about 'whether it can develop' proves that you lack the most basic professional quality, only according to the convention, one party in love walks one, and then you can imagine the scene after the relationship, and whether you can go on after really developing a stable relationship, and so on...... Cesare also took a step forward in this regard - although the dream has grown to its present size, it would not have been possible without him, which has been the work of him for several years, and he has even revised his career plan as a result...... But, "no matter what, this is your company", he will leave the company to her and quit himself.

Jeanne pressed her left chest at the thought of him leaving the company, and her eyebrows instinctively furrowed - her heart really throbbed at the thought of this: whether or not he would have a better prospect of leaving Big Dream, whether it was the most appropriate decision or not, Big Dream was really like her and Cesare's child, from nothing, from a studio with only two or three employees, basically to help her share some taxes, to today, a company that is close to the seventh largest in Hollywood...... Even if she buys Big Dream with money several times the market value, Jenny won't sell it, and if it's her, she wants to leave Big Dream, even if she goes to Disney as CEO, that feeling of loss and reluctance will still not change, and Cesare is the same for her, the two of them have been calloused to this day, no matter what the reason is - seriously, it's really divisive to say so, but even if she leaves to fall in love with her, as a business partner, her reluctance and regret are really ...... Just thinking about it almost felt unacceptable, it was Cesare who asked her to choose, and if she was told 'I decided to leave the team we have fought so hard for my girlfriend', she would definitely feel completely betrayed as a start-up partner.

"Don't think about it yet." She muttered, closing the unsolvable problem, "now the focus is on ......"

And if he leaves, as the chairman and largest shareholder of Big Dream, she must think about this question: After Cesare leaves, will she be able to continue working in the same way? What kind of situation will the new professional managers bring to the big dream? Will it bring big dreams to a low ebb? Can they run in well?

According to her understanding of Cesare, he will definitely not be idle after leaving Big Dream, and the possibility of going back to be an agent is not very great, most of them are entering other production companies as senior executives, so that professional ethics should not allow him to continue to take care of Big Dream, and Jenny certainly can't continue to be a hands-off shopkeeper, even if she still has to leave Los Angeles from time to time, she has to continue to pay close attention to the progress of the company, and even has to stay in Los Angeles for a period of time at first, and this is a lot of damage to her acting career...... For the new CEO, it is difficult to say whether the two can establish a relationship of trust, after all, although Jenny's intuition is already very famous, but it usually sounds the same thing, and it really depends on intuition to do things, which is a bit difficult, how to cooperate? How can a weak CEO who obeys the chairman's words build his prestige? It's all a problem.

She slapped her face, pulled her discrete thoughts back, and raised her fingers to sort out the possible developments that followed. - If Cesare is to move forward, what will happen next when he leaves the company?

The first possibility: she returns to Los Angeles to manage the company, find a weak CEO to take care of daily affairs, and will not leave Los Angeles for a long time in the future, and the actress career runs around Los Angeles with her as the core.

――The cost is that I will not be able to make my own movies in the future, and "Codename SHERO" will be gone for a few months, and there will be no more projects that can be controlled in every detail. Completely immersed in the performance, Salvi's kind of project may not have the energy to take on again, a few months away, how can the company run? People who do business are always very busy, big dreams are getting bigger, there are too many things that need to be decided at the highest level, Cesare used to do it for her, now it all belongs to her, and her heart can't calm down, and even commercial films may gradually reduce production...... But this is also a requirement for developing a long-term relationship, when both people are busy, the only option is to be busy together in a city, separate the two places, both are busy like a spinning top, and they don't contact each other for a few weeks at every turn, is that called love? Chris's request for a production cut actually makes perfect sense in the long term. …… Of course, if all this is only a short-term relationship, paying such a big price for a short-term relationship is really a miserable gamble.

The second possibility: she quits Big Dream and lets Cesare continue to manage Big Dream, and she continues to be her actor and producer.

-- This possibility is so slim that this kind of withdrawal must mean a complete resignation of power, so what should China do? What about Big Dream and her many intertwined projects? Big Dream may still be able to run without Cesare, as long as she comes to take charge, management talents can still be found, but without her, Cesare will not be able to fill her vacancy at all, which is tantamount to ruining Big Dream.

The third possibility: both of them quit the big dream, sell it completely to Disney, and take a huge amount of money to retire, and they can start a company separately and no longer cooperate......

The price is ...... There was no need to think about the price, Jenny could never accept this, let her destroy the business she had built for many years, she would rather kill herself.

The fourth possibility......

Shaking her head, she made a series of splashes, put some hot water again, washed off the mask on her face with the stream, applied shampoo again, and massaged her scalp regularly, letting this comfortable stimulation help her think: whatever the possibility, in fact, it is nothing more than a trade-off among several factors. Commercial films, art films, production businesses, film dealer businesses, and...... ...... between her and Cesare

...... between her and Cesare ...... of long-lasting relationships A glimmer of possibility......

Before such a heavy price, calculation is the instinct of an industrialist, rational and emotional are destined to see-saw, "Is it worth it to pay so much for a chance to start?" ”

"How do you know if it's worth it if you don't try?"

"But how far can you go if you carry such a heavy sacrifice in the first place?"

"Will it really work this time?"

"You're not going to hurt him? That's your specialty. From ex-husband to Chris ......"

"It's Hollywood!"

β€œ**!” Jenny scolded in a low voice, forcing herself not to think about it anymore, "Think of the solution first, think of the solution first......"

Commercial Film ...... Yes, maybe "Avatar" is like water without a trace for her, and it is difficult to stir up her waves, but starring in "Codename Shero", seeing herself majestically waving her fists on the big screen and playing cool, aroused the audience's excited and moved screams, and won a billion box office, proving that she can really do this step and be recognized by so many people with money...... That sense of accomplishment made her feel happy.

And what about Salvi's Monroe? Completely abandon yourself and become someone else? Drifting half-asleep half-awake between one story after another, to explore the world beyond the world, the life beyond life? That's her anchor, in the glitzy Hollywood, she needs a movie like this, even if it takes a long time, maybe the box office is not so ideal, but it's a classic that transcends time, shooting it is a bliss in itself, she loves this kind of movie.

Needless to say, it's the only way to carry out her will, and she likes to see the concepts she proposes come to life, and she likes that kind of control rather than the right to advice as an actress. Shape the whole world with the director...... Yes, it's a necessary addition to a commercial film, but she really enjoys being a producer as well.

And the big dream of running a business, going back and forth in countless business parties, strategizing, those intellectual games, the performance time of 'only this moment in a lifetime' - that feeling of power! Decide the Oscars with one hand, change the rules of the game in Hollywood, and influence the whole world...... How can a person who doesn't like these things stand up? Yes, she likes this feeling, and it can even be said that she is infatuated, and this kind of life may be flashy, maybe it makes her seem pathetic, and it makes her lose her normal life, but ...... It is rewarded, and its reward is extremely rich.

What about the life of a normal person? Put on sunglasses and Cesare to go to museums, take a walk under the moon with his arm in arms, and go for a walk in so much (so much!) At the moment, I really put my head on his shoulder, really walked with someone I loved, really wasn't performing a lot of affection, and even really tried to move forward, really walked into another marriage......

Jenny sighed, covered her face and shouted softly: she couldn't help but admit it, this ...... This is ...... for her It is also attractive.

So many paths, so many possibilities, so many I like, so much that makes me happy - 'For Apple, it is never a problem to do well, our problem is how to choose a path, and then give up all other possibilities and make it the best', this is the motto she heard when she accompanied her ex-husband to listen to the speech, and now she finally understands how simple it is for the top elites to have, how difficult it is to give up, and how greedy she is - these things, She really can't give up any of them, she really wants to enjoy everything.

But the world is fair, her possession comes from her loss, every enviable achievement has a corresponding scar behind it, she was never a chosen girl, she was just an ordinary person - she had to make a choice, she had to learn to give up -

And this requires her to make a choice, at least to know to herself, what exactly she wants most.

Jenny took a breath and rhythmically pounded the porcelain behind her head.

"What do you want most?" She repeated the question as if singing, her voice full of confusion, "What do you want most?" What do you want most? What do you want most......"
