Chapter 703: Light and Shadow V Light and Demon Controversy (3)

'History is written by the victors, but the truth is known only to those who have seen it,' said an SS officer named Joachim Piper. Joachim Piper was the youngest colonel in Nazi Germany; He experienced the bloodshed of all German fronts except North Africa; He is a genius commander; He was a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Oak Leaf Double Sword; He was an icon star of the Third Reich. But when the war ended, and the world no longer needed an SS colonel, he took on the blame for the 'Malmedy massacre', and he became a butcher whose hands were covered in the blood of prisoners of war.

In the depths of the dark tulip grove, Sun Ziming seems to be telling a story, telling the legend of Joachim Piper, while Benjamin Reno, who walks with him, understands what the boss wants to express. Joachim Piper was only on the wrong side because he was on the wrong side, and the U.S. military was able to nail him to the pillar of historical shame only because they were victors. Who cares about the truth of the facts?

It seems that John Knoll's little tricks have angered the boss and wants to teach that kid a lesson! Hey, the annual salary is two million, the bonus is also in the millions, as well as future stocks, and the power in Hollywood, these bosses are not given to him for nothing, they all have to pay the price!

After a while, Benjamin replied, still as he thought in his heart: "Boss, I have heard that the great leader of your home country once had a conversation with Stalin, and the butcher said: 'The victor is not condemned, and it is a general axiom that the victor cannot be condemned. ’”

'Hahahaha', Sun Ziming laughed a few times, deeply pleased with Benjamin Reno's knowledge, but he changed his words again.

However, history is history, and the cover of the victors is only a cover-up, and in the end it will be revealed. As you said, Joachim Piper's grievances are known even to Chinese people like you. With all due respect, the great man who led the people of your country to independence later turned into a tyrant. ”

Benjamin paused, and seeing that Sun Ziming had no intention of getting angry, he continued: "Boss, our advantage is already very obvious, there is no need to go to the sidelines. It's Lucas, not us, who is in a hurry, and I don't think it's worth it to fight for a John Noll. ”

Benjamin's words made Sun Ziming a little annoyed, but he didn't show it, he still has this amount of tolerance.

Benjamin Reno, who dismissed MGM, became the general manager of Digital and Light Effects without warning, and became a general under his command, which really shattered Hollywood's glasses. But Benjamin Reno's work achievements after officially taking office once again prove that the person who can climb to the president of MGM is definitely not incompetent.

Under his leadership, the light and shadow special effects attacked in an all-round way, not only poaching their veteran leaders John Dikstra, Dennis Mullen and their teams from Industrial Light and Magic, but also unexpectedly snatching the special effects business of several commercial blockbusters from Industrial Light and Magic, which made Lucas, who was preparing to shoot "Star Wars Prequels: The Phantom of the Phantom", so angry that he vomited blood.

Jereno has proven himself to be good enough to be the general manager of the special effects company. This is an open era, talent is the key to the success of the enterprise, Sun Ziming is impossible to anger a rare talent because of his own personal feelings.

……

Back at the office, Benjamin had just sat down in his office when Senna came to report to work.

"BOSS, we have already won the special effects business of "Life and Death Speed 2" and "Chrono Contact", and Industrial Light & Magic has only won "Regeneration Man". We're in contact with Glenn S. Gainer's team members to get their Starship special effects, which are estimated to be $2 million in work ....... ”

Benjamin didn't answer Senua's words, just stared at John Knoll's photos and documents on the table. This kid has already offended the boss by playing with the boss, otherwise the boss would not have hinted that he would have taught him a lesson. The boss's mood, he understands, let him put down the work at hand and come back, but it turns out to be a trick, how not to annoy him. Benjamin, who has been in the upper echelons of society for several years, understands that the big guys are sometimes more moody than the little guys, especially when they break their taboos.

Who is China Ming? Because I feel that I have been treated unfairly, I can make the film school want to cry; Because the conditions can't be negotiated, he can tear CAA apart alive! How can such a strongman tolerate being tricked?

Senua, who was sitting in the high chair at the desk, finished her report, glanced at the photo on the table, and snorted disdainfully. The bastard took the promise of treatment from Light and Shadow and went to bargain with Lucas, only to be scolded for being a bloody sprinkler, but he still wanted to stay in Industrial Light Magic, like a boneless mollusk.

Benjamin took the text and signed the application for funding, and sighed: "You're wrong, this bastard is a super sci-fi fan, and Lucas is his spiritual godfather." Just like Chris Columbus, they thought of the boss as a god, except that Chris and they met a more talented, more progressive, and more generous boss!"

Senna had no interest in any of this, all she knew was that the special effects business she had snatched from ILM had added $1.3 million to her bank account, equivalent to her salary at MGM for ten years, and had formed a community of interest with several Hollywood heavyweights. Now the big boss wants to dig up this bastard, and it's with the whole team, so it must be done!

The current Senna is also the same as Kayo Sato, driving a Lamborghini, wearing the latest Chanel, and living in the most upscale apartment, which are all given by the special effects company, that is, by the China Ming. If she can't complete the task and let the company be dismissed, she will have to start all over again, she doesn't want to go back to the previous life of glamorous in front of people and embarrassed in the future!

Senua's words also touched Benjamin Reno, who sighed and threw John Knoll's picture into the shredder. In fact, a big reason for his failure at MGM is that he is too anxious and always wants to turn things around in one fell swoop. With the success of the boss, it seems that he is a little eager for quick success, isn't it just John Knoll? If the company can suppress the light and magic to death, what benefit can he get as a VFX supervisor?

No, I have to find a chance to communicate with the boss again, why is there any need for the lion king and a hyena to fight?

However, Benjamin Reno's demeanor made Senua, who had learned how to understand her boss's intentions, feel scared.

John Knorr's bastard must have angered the boss and wanted his boss to deal with him, and the task had fallen to him. Big people don't take risks, and a pawn like himself is their tool to do things, otherwise how can they get millions of bonuses?

However, when Senna paid a lot of money to find John Knoll investigative, she was also troubled. This kid's private life is outrageously clean, almost a standard puritan, except for a fanatical love of science fiction literature and comics.

Flies don't stare at the seamless egg, and if the egg really doesn't have a slit, no matter how many flies there are, they can only look at the egg and sigh. Senna hadn't thought of unconventional means, but as soon as the thought came together, she let her reason be extinguished. In Hollywood, everyone exchanges interests, this is the rule under the table, and no one dares to break it at the risk of the world's condemnation. But there are some red lines that must not be touched, otherwise they will become the public enemy of the whole people, and even the big boss will be pointed out by thousands of people!

In the end, Senna really couldn't think of a way, so she had to ask Benjamin for advice.

Benjamin took his coffee, looked at his assistant carefully, and when he stared at her until his heart began to grow, he said quietly: "Senua, when did I order you to deal with John Knoll?" ”

Senna, who was already mature, hurriedly said, "Sorry, I misunderstood what you meant." ”

"You are indeed mistaken, we have the upper hand in the competition against ILM. The most important thing for us now is to take advantage of the victory to pursue and let the light and fiend have no respite, instead of being sideways! Lucas is just one person, and even if his "Star Wars Prequel" can create another box office myth, the profit he makes will not be enough for Light and Magic to compete with us! ”

Benjamin Reno's teachings have made Senna mistaken, and his boss has proven his importance to the company by using his connections and familiarity with the rules to give the company the upper hand in the competition with ILM. Following the orders of the big boss and digging into the corners of the opponent's walls is also a great achievement, why should you covet the last bit of credit?

It's done, it's just a compliment from the big boss; If you fail, you risk causing damage to your reputation. It's just a job, not a career, and it's not worth damaging your reputation for it.

Benjamin didn't expect Senna to think like this, but fortunately, his work pressure was not great, and he was also admonished by Sun Ziming, so he no longer reprimanded his subordinates as before, and said patiently: "Senua, you are already very dangerous, if you continue like this, something will happen sooner or later!" ”

Senna didn't expect her boss to say that, was she wrong? When you are a subordinate, don't you have to figure out your intentions and always take the boss's business as your own?

The relationship between the two is different from that at MGM, and now Senna is not the timid little assistant she used to be, but has become Benjamin's most powerful assistant, and when she doesn't understand something, she asks directly: "Boss, I don't understand." This is how Kayo and Douglas won the trust of the big boss, aren't they right? ”

"Hey," Benjamin sighed and smiled wryly. As an assistant and right-hand man, under her own advice, she is skillful in trading with those teams of makers, but she didn't expect that she had brainwashed the Japanese girl Kayo Sato! Benjamin knew that his boss's two assistants had a very strong servility, and he only obeyed the boss's orders, but he didn't expect that Senua, whom he valued, also began to have a trend in this regard.
