Yang Lin's curiosity about Kidd can no longer be described, after this guy returned from Burbank, he contacted the distribution company of Cinemark Cinemas to ask for a 50-odd page of news about Hollywood's second- and third-rate film companies. You must know that these things are absolutely top secret for a distribution company, and it describes all kinds of specific information about its customers in detail, and it is impossible for an assistant general manager like him to have access to, let alone take him out and give it to others.

Yang Lin didn't even look at the stack of materials, just stared at Kidd. This guy is so energetic, why does he turn around for himself all day long, is there some intention? This is the United States, not Hong Kong, Yang Lin must be careful and careful, and he can't be a little negligent, otherwise he won't know what's going on when he is eaten in his stomach.

Kidd touched his nose, shrugged his shoulders in the face of Yang Lin's questioning gaze, and said helplessly: "I knew that you would definitely be suspicious, this is not strange, I can understand that if a strange guy appears next to me, he will not be able to sleep." His pale blue eyes and Yang Lin looked directly: "Actually, what I want to ask you is, if I resign now, will you hire me?" ”

Yang Lin almost couldn't believe his ears as if he had heard a book from heaven. An assistant to the general manager of Cinemark Cinemas with strong connections is actually going to resign and come to a company that he has not yet established? Did I hear it wrong, or is this guy sick? Could it be that the buddies crossed over and produced a domineering aura, which can make people bow their heads?

Kidd smiled wryly, as if Yang Lin's reaction was all in his expectation. The guy took a sip of coffee and said slowly, "Actually, I'm an illegitimate child. I was not welcome in that home because my presence could cause the inheritance of my siblings to be diluted, so I was ostracized. I can use my father's connections. But they can't use the family's possessions, and everyone is looking at me, and I'm like a thief, who can steal what should belong to them at any time. His eyes were very bitter and resentful: "But that's not what I think, I don't want to rob anyone of anything, I have my own hands, I will create what I want." So, I'm going to get out of there. ”

When a guy in a large family suddenly appears who is qualified to fight for property, the balance will be upset in an instant. Perhaps there was no balance at all. He didn't think Kidd was going to cheat him, it wasn't necessary. But what Yang Lin didn't understand was: "Why did you choose me?" With your abilities and connections, you can have a lot of options instead of me, a Hollywood rookie. ”

The aura of the traverser glittering? A general explosion of prophetic character? Yang Lin didn't believe in these boring things.

Kidd shrugged: "Rookie? No, no, no. Poplar. You can't say that, that would make a lot of people embarrassed. I studied you carefully when I was in Hong Kong. Yang, do you know what I found? I find that you seem to have been born for cinema, and you have an unparalleled talent for cinema. You know what kind of movie is going to be popular, and you can always make it perfect. Mr. Spielberg is the most talented film director I've ever met, but if you listen to what he says about you, do you still have to be humble? With a big push in one breath, Kidd paused. Looking at Yang Lin directly: "I don't want my mother to be sad, she is very happy and satisfied that I can finally be accepted by the family." But I also have dreams. I also want to show my worth, I don't want to be seen as a worm waiting to be divided. You are a capable person, and it may be difficult to follow you, but I believe that the future will be very bright. In my opinion, it would be more rewarding to be able to create a new world with you. ”

Yang Lin smiled and stretched out his hand: "Welcome to join, Kidd, you will find that this may be the luckiest decision of your life." "Boy, follow the buddy, the traverser who carries a "super cheat" with him, your ancestral grave is smoking, and you have a vision.

Kidd smiled too, smiling brightly: "Thank you, you will also find that I am a good partner." ”

In Yang Lin's original expectation, he wanted to take advantage of this yen appreciation to obtain a large amount of profits, and then take advantage of the opportunity of the Cinemark Cinema Line to enter the Hong Kong market to obtain the opportunity to cooperate, take the opportunity to get the shares of Cinemark, and enter the North American cinema market. However, man is not as good as heaven, and history has changed. Although the yen is appreciating, it is far from the magnitude of the previous life, and the income is not large, which makes Yang Lin not have enough financial resources to obtain the shares of Marvel Cinema Line. The plan to enter the North American theater chain has been shattered, but the plan to conquer Hollywood will never be shattered, and the establishment of a Hollywood film company is now the thing to do, and the distribution of your own films through this company is also a good option, although the effect is much slower than buying theaters and directly releasing your own movies.

Kidd was a good person, and Yang Lin didn't think he would make up such a wonderful lie for himself. Even if he becomes the general manager of his Hollywood studio, he only has administrative rights, and unless he has a grudge against himself and wants to frame him, he will not get anything good by betraying himself.

The employment relationship was simply decided, and a work contract could be signed at any time, and the two of them focused their eyes on the large stack of materials on the table. Kidd picked through the piles of materials, and it took a long time to dig out a dozen pieces of paper bound together: "Dear boss, please allow me to give you a gift. ”

Yang Lin took the information and glanced at Kidd suspiciously. Kidd shrugged his shoulders and explained while Yang Lin looked at the information: "This 'Paradise' film company has been established for more than ten years, because of the lack of funds, the business philosophy is to produce and distribute small-cost films at a small cost, everything revolves around the concept of small cost, the benefits are not bad, and it has always been able to maintain a balance between income and expenditure." But last year, for some reason, the company abandoned its long-standing philosophy and invested $80 million in an action movie, which turned out to be less than 20 million at the box office. The capital chain was broken all at once. barely lasted for a year, and it is estimated that it is now exhausted. If this is the time you come to the door to buy. The price is sure to be very ideal. ”

Yang Linqi said: "Why are you so clear? Yang Lin simply thinks that this film company is not Kidd's own industry.

Kidd touched his nose: "I didn't plan to hide it from you, the owner of this film company is my ex-girlfriend's father." However, you can rest assured that all asset valuations will be handled by a professional law firm. There's no way I'm going to get anything out of it. ”

"Ex-girlfriend's father's film company? That girlfriend of yours is very visionless, a man like you will give up, don't say that you dumped him. Yang Lin didn't care if Kidd would be involved in this deal, because in the United States, a company like this must be evaluated by a law firm, otherwise there will be no legal credibility and the state will not recognize it at all. He was interested in Kidd's ex-girlfriend, because Kidd's helpless expression made his gossip burn.

Kidd drained most of the cup of coffee in front of him with a "grunt". With a wry smile: "I love her so much that I love her like crazy, just like this script you wrote, even if I die, I don't want to leave her." But she hated me at home. She saw it as a sign of incompetence. But she doesn't understand, sometimes life is not what you want, I am not alone, I still have a mother who is lingering on the sickbed. Her greatest hope in life is that I can be accepted by that family. I can't be that selfish. Worries my mother. ”

"But aren't you going to get out of there now?" Yang Lin knew that Kidd was a member of the Vinson family, the founder of the Cinemark Cinema Line.

"Because now that my mother is dead, what else do I have to care about?" Kidd smiled wryly, sadly.

"Sorry for mentioning your sadness." Yang Lin sighed, this guy's life is quite bitter.

Kidd smiled, "It's okay, it's gone, and now she's watching me from heaven." So I should live happily, instead of being submissive and accommodating anything. ”

Yang Lin gave a thumbs up: "Good job." Strong enough. Next, we're going to find a law firm, and then we're going to meet your former father-in-law for a while. ”

I don't know how Tom Cruise, this bastard, did it, every time Yang Lin called, he said that he wanted to think about it, and he neither refused nor agreed, which made Yang Lin very irritable. What the hell is this guy doing? Are you the only actor in Hollywood? Yang Lin decided that as long as he acquired the "Paradise" film company, he would have an official showdown with Tom Cruise, and he would do it if he liked it. Without you, a soup butcher, buddy still has to eat hairy pigs?

Brad Pitt is much more likeable, this kid has now quit the hotel waiter job, and follows Yang Lin's ass all day long to deliver tea and water. Although he knew that this kid didn't have to hold on to his thigh because no one was looking for him to film now, Yang Lin's vanity was still unprecedentedly satisfied to be able to have a Hollywood heartthrob and Oscar winner as his little brother. So he decided that as long as his acquisition of the film company was successful, Brad Pitt would be the first actor to sign with the new company.

Everything is going well in Hong Kong, and Mak Yonghao has withdrawn to prepare asset statistics to prepare for the listing of "Red Star Entertainment", which can only be done by professionals, and Yang Lin can't get involved at all. His absolute trust in Mak Yonghao, and the defense let him do it, which also made Mak Yonghao very excited. After all, this is only eight years, and it is not common for a group to go public, and such an opportunity is too precious for Mak Yonghao.

Xu Ke's "A Chinese Ghost Story" didn't know why the progress was very slow, and he grabbed Cheng Xiaodong as the action director. Du Qifeng didn't see anyone all day, and it was said that he was thinking about what script to do. Wu Yusen is preparing for the filming of the sequel to "The True Color of Heroes", and Liu Guanwei is also preparing the sequel script of "Mr. Zombie", when the two asked Yang Lin, Yang Lin said that he would review the script after it was decided, as long as there was no problem with the filming work, he would not participate. He wants to hone the directorial skills of these people and prepare for going out of Hong Kong in the future. Chinese movies are not his business alone, even if he gets a hundred Oscars, it is useless, a hundred flowers bloom is spring. With him in control, Wu Yusen, Xu Ke and others can fully ensure that Red Star Pictures will steadily occupy a hegemonic position in Hong Kong.

What I have to do now is to gain a firm foothold in Hollywood, lay a good foundation for the large-scale entry of Chinese films into Hollywood in the future, and provide all necessary help.

The film company "Paradise" is just off the Hollywood Walk of Fame on a street. The streets are not wide and the location is relatively remote. There are not many tourists here, and there are few pedestrians due to the fact that it is far away from residential areas. Both sides of the street. The tall mulberry canopy is like a cloud, the leaves are as big as a bucket, and the shade of the tree is like a cloud, covering the sky and the sun. Yang Lin liked this quiet and quiet street at a glance, walking on the side of the street, cars in twos and threes parked at random on the side of the road, there was no parking space marked by white lines, and there were no police plagiars. Standing under the building of the "Heaven" film company, Yang Lin said with emotion: "If you buy this film company." Won't be considering moving for ten years. ”

Kidd said with a smile: "Paradise Film Company is not large, if it develops well, it will soon be insufficient office space." Yang Lin just replied lightly: "Then buy this building." ”

Kidd froze. I couldn't help but look up at this building with more than 20 floors. Tsk, it's so domineering.

Seeing the English letters "Paradise Film Company" under the LOGO in front of the film company's door, Yang Lin couldn't help but think of a classic movie - "Paradise Cinema". What year was "Cinema Paradiso" made? Yang Lin touched his chin and couldn't remember, but he hadn't shot it yet. This movie is also Yang Lin's favorite thing. They don't mind taking it for themselves.

Kidd didn't know what Yang Lin was thinking. He had already walked over to a fat old guy who looked like a beer barrel at the gate, and the two of them came to a big hug. Said it was a hug, but in fact, the old guy's big belly pushed Kidd out, and if Kidd wanted to have a veneer with the old guy, he had to hunch his waist and tilt his ass back.

The fat old guy looked happy to see Kidd, and patted Kidd on the back hard, and smiled sincerely on his fat face: "Kidd." My child, I thought you had forgotten about me, old fellow. ”

"How could it be. You know how much I like you. Kidd laughed heartily.

Yang Lin was a little stunned, he didn't understand who would maintain such a friendly relationship with his ex-girlfriend's father, if he didn't know the relationship between the two, Yang Lin would definitely think that these were two fathers and sons who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

The fat old man let go of Kidd and stretched out his hand to Yang Lin with a smile: "You are the Lin Yang that Kidd said, hello, you can call me Carl." ”

Kidd smiled: "Dear Carl, you have very little contact with the Chinese, you don't know that their names are the opposite of us, you should be called Yang Lin." ”

Yang Lin smiled and shook hands with Old Carl: "It doesn't matter, the name is just a code name, you just need to know that this person is me." ”

Old Carl laughed and led the two into the company.

The "Paradise Film Company" is not a big place, but there are a lot of personnel, and they all smile and greet when they see guests, but Yang Lin can see at a glance that these people probably know what they are here for, and they don't see those elderly employees looking disappointed when they look at him? Perhaps, in their view, such a young Chinese does not have the ability to lead them out of the predicament, and they are about to face layoffs and careers.

The atmosphere in the company was a little depressed in an instant, Yang Lin vaguely heard a sigh of disappointment, but he didn't care, greeted these employees with a smile, and entered the old Carl's office.

The young and beautiful female assistant brought coffee to a few people, and a pair of big watery eyes swirled on Yang Lin's face before walking out.

Old Karl sighed: "Yang, please allow me to call you that. Since you are now Kidd's boss, then I will not hide anything from you, the situation of this company is clear to Kidd compared to what Kidd has already told you. I don't have any requirements, the price is as assessed by the law firm, but I have one request. ”

Since the old guy was very happy, Yang Lin nodded: "Please say, as long as it is within my ability." ”

Old Carl smiled, but there were endless vicissitudes and attachments in that smile: "This company is my hard work for more than ten years, since I don't have the ability to run it well, it may be a good choice to sell it, I believe you can do better than me." But many of the employees here are old people who have been working with me since the establishment of the company, and I hope that after you take over, you will not lay them off so that they can have a stable job, please promise me. ”

Kidd looked at Yang Lin, and it seemed that he also hoped that Yang Lin would be able to win the last request of this disheartened old man.

Yang Lin took a sip of coffee and took a sip of it, and instead of returning to Carl's words directly, he asked, "What do you think is the reason why your company can't survive?" ”

Old Karl's face sank. Some were unhappy: "Young man, are you humiliating me?" ”

Kidd was embarrassed and looked at Yang Lin strangely. Yang Lin, whom he knew, would not make such an impolite and childish move.

Yang Lin hurriedly waved his hand: "No, you misunderstood." I just want to say that the vitality of a company lies in the vision of the boss, but also in the ability of the grassroots employees. In more than ten years, the company has not only not made progress, but has come to this point, IMHO. The competence of both you and these employees is questionable. So, I can only promise that you will not lay off any of your employees easily, and I will give them a chance. But I can't guarantee anything. If you want to keep this job, you have to put in the corresponding ability and effort, and there is no free lunch in the world. ”

Old Carl's face was ugly, no matter who was questioned so face-to-face about his ability to operate. The face is not much better. But he knew that Yang Lin was telling the truth. People don't have a set in front of them and a set behind their backs, which is already a kind of respect. After the company is in hand, people can do whatever they want, is it necessary to explain it to you?

Thinking of this, old Carl felt more comfortable, and said in a soothing manner, "Okay, fifteen million dollars, this is the law firm's assessment." If you think you can, you can sign an EOI now. Wait until all the formalities are completed and the contract is officially signed. ”

Yang Lin nodded, no objection. This price is a bit high, and the assets of "Paradise Films" are definitely not worth so much money. But they have more than 1,000 movie copyrights in their resource library, which is the family foundation that Carl Sr. has accumulated for more than ten years, and the most valuable things are these.

The office door was slammed open, and a beautiful blonde with blue eyes and a hot body rushed in panting, she stared at Kidd deadly, her beautiful green eyes seemed to be burning, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Damn bastard, is this how you used this method to get revenge on me?" Don't hesitate to ruin half of my father's life's hard work, you are simply a scumbag! ”

Kidd's face was a little pale, and he looked at the blonde beauty, his lips twitched a few times, but he didn't say anything. But Yang Lin could see that Kidd was disappointed and in pain, his hands under the table were clenched tightly, and the green tendons on the back of his hands had burst out.

This is Kidd's ex-girlfriend, right? Well, the skin is very white, blonde, convex and backward, this guy has a good eye, very good.

Old Carl didn't expect his daughter to come in, so he was stunned before he roared angrily: "Daisy, who taught you to be so rude?" Selling the company was my own decision, and it had nothing to do with Kidd! ”

Daisy glared at Kidd fiercely, turned her head to look at Yang Lin, slightly stunned, as if she didn't expect that the person who Kidd introduced to his father to accept the company was so young and still a yellow person. probably thought that Kidd was cheating on his father, and he got a random person and said that he accepted his father's film company, and suddenly burst out, his thin white fingers almost pointed to Kidd's nose, and screamed: "Damn Kidd!" What kind of conspiracy did you have to find a yellow-skinned child to cheat on my father? My dad is too old to see the truth, and with me, I won't let you succeed! ”

Kidd looked at Daisy, but for some reason his face calmed down, and he didn't speak, just looked at her quietly.

Old Karl was so angry that his lips trembled and he couldn't speak, but pointed a trembling finger at his daughter.

Yang Lin didn't want to answer, this is a family matter, but Daisy's sentence "yellow race" is obviously an ambiguous word, although it can't be said to be racist, but Yang Lin can't bear it, this is related to the dignity of the race, and it can't be compromised. "This lady, you should apologize for your rudeness."

Daisy looked at Yang Lin's cold face, calmed down a little, and probably regretted that her words just now were too intense, she took a breath, bullied her chest sharply a few times, and said stiffly: "Okay, I apologize for what I said just now, I didn't mean to insult you, I just fainted." ”

It's okay, just change it if you know it, this kid hasn't broken yet. But Yang Lin didn't plan to just forget it, this girl made him very annoying: "You should not only apologize to me, but also to Kidd." What you are doing is just too much for such an honest and enthusiastic child. Do you know how he begged me to help your father? He would rather quit his promising job and follow me, a rookie who has just arrived and achieved nothing, working so hard that he can't even see the future, because that's what I'm asking for. Hollywood studios have, why do I have to buy this one? Because I was touched by Kidd, this fool who would rather sacrifice everything for the sake of his lover, he touched me. But what about you, beautiful lady, you only have a beautiful appearance, but no beautiful soul, how did you hurt such a peerless good man who is willing to give everything to you? You know ma'am, you're sinning, and God will punish you. ”

Kidd was dumbfounded, almost shoving his fist into his mouth. Have I begged you? As for joining your film company, it seems to be voluntary? When did I become so great? Why don't I know what I'm doing?

Old Carl was already moved to tears, hugged Kidd's broad shoulders tightly, and patted hard: "Good boy, my good boy, Daisy broke up with you, she was blind and was eaten by the devil. Thank you Kidd, thank you for everything you have done for me, I am so touched"

Daisy blinked her beautiful green eyes and looked at Kidd with a calm face, did she blame him? Or did you miss out on this good man? He loves himself so much that he actually wants to beg others for his own family's affairs, she knows how proud this handsome man is, but she is

At this moment, tears flashed in Daisy's beautiful eyes, biting her red lips tightly

Kidd struggled to keep his facial expression and control himself from laughing, but he was shouting in his heart: "Boss, you are my idol, I love you!" (To be continued......)
