Chapter 528: Morita Fangming
As the rain of early summer fell softly on the airport in Los Angeles, Kotaro Kobayashi sat in the VIP room without saying a word, almost gritting his teeth and looking at the waterway.
No one dared to say a word, and his face had been ugly since he received a call from the headquarters three days ago.
"Mr. Kobayashi." Beside him, a gray-haired man, about fifty years old, looked at the colorful Los Angeles sky with light rain and said softly, "What next?" ”
"What should I do?" This sentence seemed to provoke Kobayashi Kotaro's anger, grinding his teeth and saying: "Tokyo sent Morita Fangming over, isn't it just to divide my power?" The acquisition of Colombia was an order of Mr. Morita Schov, and now his brother has come over in person......"
The more he talked, the more angry he became, and he shook the armrest fiercely, his stomach full of ghost fire.
"It's not like seeing the fruit ripe, so I can come and pick it myself!"
Everyone understands this sentence, and the white man pondered for a moment and said, "Terminator 2 is very important for Sony Columbia...... After you saddle up, contact the investor, the director, discuss the script...... If you take it away so directly, it will be a little too ugly. ”
He said it very lightly, but it provoked the anger in Kobayashi Kotaro's heart.
The brand he built himself, in order to turn over Sony Columbia, in order to completely open up a market, and even more so that he can't say it explicitly, he vaguely further broke away from the control of the Mitsui consortium, he can be said to be heartbroken, this film is far more than a blockbuster!
He used the largest investment amount in history to create the world's first blockbuster with an investment of over 100 million yuan, and hired a top lineup like Cameron and Schwarzenegger, from lighting, handhelds, props, logistics, all of them are either top or first-line teams in the circle, not only him, but all Sony has high hopes for this film!
Once successful, the Hollywood market officially opened up, and there were so many things that could be correlated, from the transformation of video tape to DVD, to Sony's video player, to Sony's second way of making money. Electronic entertainment can't do it at the moment, and if he opens up Hollywood's fortune now, it's an amazing political achievement!
Who would have thought that when things came to an end, Sheng Tian Fangming would come over!
"I have the confidence to win this movie...... The other big directors of the department, who didn't say a word before, watched Columbia's performance getting worse and worse in my hands and you...... I finally have hope, and I want to take my power immediately! Hehehe...... They couldn't do it themselves, so they found a grand reason to ask Sheng Tian Fangming to come out of the mountain...... Who doesn't know that he was the one who took the lead in the acquisition of Colombia in the first place! That's a good reason...... Good intentions! ”
"Just by virtue of him, Sheng Tian Fangming can save Colombia in the decline? Arrogant! Eccentric! Arrogant! Hehe...... If it weren't for Mr. Morita Schoft, would he be worthy of sitting in the position of this big director? Dream! ”
He let out a long sigh, like this situation, he himself has done it I don't know how many times, I thought he wouldn't be too angry, but he didn't expect that when it came to the end, he would also be angry.
"And ...... we?"
"What are we? Mickey. Schulhoff...... Morita Fangming is a big director like me, but he also has an identity, he is the chairman of Morita Saofo, the younger brother of the founder of Sony! It was the initiator and executor of Sony's acquisition of Colombia. He came over in the name of justice, we can only watch! He held the handrail tightly, his face pale: "What I should be thinking about now is how to get enough benefits under the other party after changing the principal!" My status has risen beyond the ranks, this time ...... Cheap old bastards! ”
The plane arrived quickly. Seeing that the charter plane stopped on the runway, Kotaro Kobayashi walked out with a gloomy face.
The sky was a little gloomy, but a glimmer of sunlight shone through the pale gray clouds, five or six umbrellas were propped up at the same time, Kobayashi Kotaro with a sneer on his face, standing next to the plane against the bleak wind and cold rain in the sky, and a staircase had been erected.
A few minutes later, a small Asian man walked down first.
He was about sixty years old, thin, gray-haired, with a dazzling opal ring on ten sleeve-length fingers, and a well-fitting suit, and walked down as if he were walking on clouds.
Cloud, that's how it feels, because he didn't look at Kobayashi Kotaro and his party who picked him up below. It's like God doesn't look at the world at all.
Kobayashi Kotaro's anger almost exploded, his breathing instantly became thicker, and after a few seconds, he changed to a lukewarm smile, and he didn't bother to go up and fight.
However, just because he doesn't fight doesn't mean that others won't fight.
"Isn't this Kobayashi-kun?" Inside the plane, the passengers gradually walked out, even with the addition of Morita Fangming, there were only a dozen people. He walked up to Kotaro Kobayashi and smiled, "I thought you would be very unwelcome to me." ”
"Can I say so?" Kobayashi Kotaro replied with a smile: "Morita-kun has picked a good fruit, do you think I should welcome it?" ”
The atmosphere around them instantly cooled down, and the assistants, secretaries, and Mickey who followed them didn't dare to say a word at all.
Sheng Tian Fangming bowed slightly and sneered: "I think that Kobayashi-kun should face his mistakes. ”
Kobayashi Kotaro's face was full of iron, and he looked at him like a dead man for a long time before he said lightly: "For example? ”
"For example, in the first quarter of '91, I lost a million dollars." Morita Fangming said with emotion: "It has been more than two years since the acquisition of Colombia, and the annual loss is five or six million, and this kind of branch has long been opened in other companies. Thanks to Kobayashi-kun sitting here......"
He didn't finish, but a hint of mockery flashed "appropriately" in his eyes, making Kotaro Kobayashi almost slap him in the face.
"Speaking of which, thanks to Sheng Tianjun, if it wasn't for the fact that it cost so much money to acquire at the beginning, why would Colombia be burdened with such a heavy burden? I'll wipe your ass after you're done, and you're embarrassed to say that kind of thing now. ”
Sheng Tian Fang Ming sneered: "It's just that my ability is insufficient." Don't talk about this, I heard that the Qin Dynasty, which made Sony lose billions of book assets, is also here, and they also want to enter Hollywood, I don't know how this matter is resolved? ”
Mickey. As soon as Shulhoff wanted to speak, he received a stab from Kotaro Kobayashi.
"What do you think about Morita Jun?"
"Takami doesn't. There are some humble opinions. Sheng Tian Fangming smiled, suddenly put away his smile, and said coldly: "A mere Chinese company has stolen Sony's intelligence by despicable means, like a barking wild dog. took a bite from Sony, and Sony shot billions of rabies vaccines. The whole company is waiting to see its tragic end! He is now in Los Angeles, Columbia is one of the Big Six in Hollywood, and as the president of the American district, the connections, funds, and material resources you can use are far from comparable to Mickey, and you can't even pack this wild dog! ”
"Kobayashi-kun...... You've disappointed the board too much this time. Don't you dare? Or can't? Or simply can't do it? Are you sitting in the position of the chief director just on top of it? He sneered, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "In that case, it's better to abdicate and make way for Xian, and let me kill this nasty fly for you." ”
Kotaro Kobayashi squinted at him for a long time before he said, "Do you really think ...... Do you have what it takes? ”
"It's just a fly, but you still need ability?" Sheng Tian Fangming laughed: "What you don't dare to do, I dare to do." What you don't want to do, I want to do. What you don't want to do, I'm willing to do. ”
He looked coldly into Kobayashi's eyes and sneered: "A company that has made Sony lose billions of dollars on its books is running around on its own turf, and the board of directors is about to quarrel, and you are indifferent?" Your incompetence, your apathy, let the board down, so ......"
"That's what Mr. Morita meant?" Kobayashi Kotaro interrupted him coldly and asked.
"That's what the club means." Sheng Tian Fangming raised his eyebrows and continued: "For this kind of company, if it were someone else, it would have been slapped to death a long time ago. You have ignored this? To put it bluntly, it's just an old saying that the villain will be rampant when he gets his will...... If it doesn't come out in the video entertainment industry, we really can't do anything about it now, and now that everyone else is sticking their necks in front of them, you don't dare to cut this knife......"
Kotaro Kobayashi nodded: "Very good...... I will fully cooperate with you in your actions during your time. Leave. ”
He didn't say a word, he walked away, and Sheng Tian Fangming's cloudy old eyes saw his figure disappear into the building, and then said to the assistant next to him: "Check for me, check the start date of Fast and Furious, predict their completion date and release date, and prepare to intercept it comprehensively." ”
"Kobayashi-kun...... He has completely turned into a coward. If any of the big directors are here, if they encounter such a despicable opponent as the Qin Dynasty, they will definitely do their best to squeeze the other party out of the field, we have a sharp weapon like Terminator 2 in our hands, but we don't know how to use it, it's just extremely ignorant! ”
Almost at the same time, in the building, Mickey asked softly, "Your Excellency Kobayashi...... Are we really in charge? ”
Kobayashi Kotaro didn't speak, his hand gently touched the glass, and with a cold gaze, he looked at the high-spirited Morita Fangming who ran out of the building, and sneered for a long time: "Handed over...... Why don't you pay it? ”
"It's not that simple...... This kind of big event happened immediately after my gathering with the Big Six...... I don't dare to act rashly, he Sheng Tian Fang Ming really thinks that no one will dare to touch him with a sign of the Big Six? If Qin Jun was really so easy to clean up, why did Zhongbo Jun and Jiu Yuanjun suffer such a big loss under the other party? He ran his finger across the glass window and sneered: "Underestimating this Chinese will only make yourself overturn in the gutter." Morita Fangming...... He doesn't have this ability yet, even Zhongbojun and them only dare to say that they will decide the winner in a few years, how can he think he can clean up the other party now? ”
He turned around, and his figure against the sun was like a demon: "Shut up all for me, no one is allowed to tell him what has happened in the past few days!" This matter is dealt with, I admit it, if I don't handle it well, I want to see what face he has to stay in Los Angeles! ”
Mickey was stunned for a moment, then said hesitantly, "Your Excellency Kobayashi...... If this causes the results of Terminator 2 to ......"
"Mickey ......" Before he could finish speaking, Kotaro Kobayashi interrupted him, and he couldn't see his expression clearly against the light, but there was already a complex determination in his tone: "The culture of the Three Kingdoms has a long history in Japan...... Do you remember a word......
"I'd rather be burdened by others, than by others......" After he finished quietly, Mickey seemed to hear a sneer on the black shadow in front of him: "A Terminator 2, if I am here, there can also be a Terminator 3, Terminator 4." If I'm gone...... There's nothing left...... Got it? ”
"Got it."
