Douglas is a very realistic person, although he has done a lot of bullshit, but as long as he does not threaten his interests, he usually does not offend people if he can, and he is exquisite in all aspects. Therefore, although many people jokingly call him 'China Ming's dog', few people really regard him as a mercenary villain, and many people even regard him as a friend, and will come to him for help when they are in trouble.

Today, Douglast intends to ask Peter to come and talk about it alone, and to tell him in a very honest manner what he cannot talk about on the stage, that is, he does not want to offend this genius completely, and implies that the other party himself is also forced to do so. The film industry is an industry that worships geniuses and also needs geniuses, today he can seize the opportunity to force people to the end, if he lets others ease his breath in the future, he can't seize the opportunity to fix himself?

Of course, there is Sun Tzuming's existence behind him, and Douglas is not afraid of Peter's revenge, but it is always good to have one less trouble. Besides, Sun Ziming has always wanted to recruit this genius, and Douglas, whether out of public interest or self-interest, must come to help him clean up the unhappiness in everyone's hearts.

It took half an hour to tell the cause and effect of the incident in a storytelling tone, and Douglas pointed out the nature of the conflict between the two sides before continuing to talk about his intentions.

"Peter, whether you believe it or not, I will sue you: the whole thing, my boss did not know about it at the beginning, if he had known about it from the beginning, I believe he would have stopped it."

Although he knew that the bastard in front of him was very sincere in talking to himself, otherwise there was no need to admit those dirty things, but Peter still had little interest in arguing with Douglas about something uninteresting. Now listening to this bastard's repeated quibbles for his grandson, he couldn't help but point to his nose in amusement and mock: "Look, this is a hillbilly from New Zealand." ”

Douglas hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, you misunderstood, the whole thing was made by a group of our subordinates, and it has nothing to do with my boss." I'll admit that after the incident got a big deal, we got the boss's favor and acquiescence, but he also decided to make additional compensation to you, otherwise the new line company would not have agreed to give you the balance so happily.

Peter, although we are not friends, please believe in one thing: my boss is a man who regards movies as ideals, and he will not frame a movie genius! ”

This kind of false words made Peter Jackson amused and angry, but he was very puzzled. Could it be that the monster who has always pursued a good reputation really doesn't know about these things? Now that you know, you're going to take the knife on your subordinates, so that this dog is scared to run around?

Douglas breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect anyone to be completely convinced. As long as the other party is suspicious, with the boss's personality, this genius will become his loyal follower sooner or later. Hey, the boss is not good at this point, he wants to be perfect in everything, otherwise why would he be so troublesome?

"It's true, I came over from my boss just now, and he wants to invite you to direct "The Hobbit", and the conditions are the same as those of New Line."

When something goes wrong, there is a demon, Peter calmed down and thought about it for a while, how could he not see the strangeness in it, and joked: "And your condition is to buy our Weta Company at a reasonable price, am I right?" ”

Douglas had nothing to quibble about, and admitted bluntly: "Yes, our company wants to buy your company, otherwise it is impossible to hand over The Hobbit to Weta and you."

If you don't agree, even if my boss wants to compensate you, he will only let you direct, and the special effects can't be placed in your company. Although the light and shadow company is controlled by him again, the voting rights of the company have always been in the hands of everyone and are not controlled by him. ”

This kind of illogical and shameless remark is what Douglas can say with confidence: "Peter, everyone is a smart person, there is no need to argue about something unnecessary." I don't know if you've thought about it, joining us is actually harmless for you and Weta.

Let's put it this way, as long as you agree to merge Weta into Light and Shadow, you are a shareholder of Light and Shadow, and a shareholder like Lucas and James. The director shareholders of our company are not shareholders like Warner and Paramount, you all vote by head, not by shares! ”

"What if I don't agree?"

Douglas shrugged his shoulders, put his status extremely low, and said with a wry smile: "Then I don't know, I'm just a small person, I can't guess what Jill will do." If it weren't for your bad luck this time, I wouldn't have been able to set this trap. ”

After speaking, Douglas explained the matters given by Sun Ziming one by one, and said half-truthfully: "Peter, do you understand now?" My boss admires your talent and won't set a trap for you at all, these things are all done by our men.

Our boss is very protective, not to mention that we are doing things for the company, even if it is out of selfish distractions, as long as it does not damage the interests of the company, he will turn a blind eye. Because in his mind, we are our own people with him, and you are just a genius that he admires. ”

Douglas's last killer feature is indeed very lethal, small circles and small groups are prevalent there, and Peter himself doesn't have a group of friends? If it weren't for Charried and his friends, how could he have made a splash with "Angels of Sin"?

…………

Late at night, Peter Jackson, who was in a mixed mood, returned to his house, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw his old friend Charried talking on the phone.

“Think/you，Think/you。 When Peter returned, I consulted with him and gave you an answer. ”

"What's wrong?"

Charried punched Peter excitedly and said in a low voice: "Our balance has arrived, and I have found new investors, and they have agreed to inject $20 million into our company."

$20 million! Peter, our troubles solved! ”

"Who?"

"Robert Iger is the head of the foundation that the Light and Shadow Company brought down. Peter, we're lucky, with their support, we'll be able to ......"

It's really good, the enemy of the enemy is the friend, although the reputation of the Silver Screen Foundation stinks the street, but the strength of the representatives behind them is still there. Sun Tzu Ming hurt them so much that they have no money back, and now they are spending some money to support their own company, they must want to take revenge on each other.

However, this good news came too late, and Peter hesitated for a while and said in a low voice: "Charlide, I just went to see China Ming's assistant. ”

Charried immediately closed his mouth and asked, "Peter, you don't want to regret it, do you?" ”

Peter hurriedly denied: "No, no, I just think something is wrong, they actually agreed to the position of director?" ”

Well? Charried's spirits lifted, and he immediately put Robert's wooing behind, the shareholder of Light and Shadow Company, which represents his status in Hollywood. While Robert is optimistic about the company's 'expression capture' technology, a technology that is temporarily ahead of the curve is nothing compared to social status.

"What did he say?"

What else can be said? Weta sells a controlling stake but retains its independence, and the company gives them two more directorships in addition to the production of The Hobbit.

"Where's the money?"

Peter smiled and laughed at himself: "We are poor, we are super-rich, and the shares are deducted from the dividends, and the interest is exempted. ”

"Ok, then we'll incorporate light and shadow effects, as long as we can maintain our independence!"

Charried was a businessman, and he didn't have the artist's loftiness of Peter, let alone the unrealistic ambitions. For Vita, light and shadow special effects are a towering mountain, even if one or two technologies are ahead, sooner or later people will be crushed with their overall strength. Besides, Robert is not a big man, what he promised, what China promised is more reassuring?
