Chapter 981: Corporate Infighting (Part I)

Light and Shadow Company is recognized as the least elaborate company in Hollywood, with a market value of more than $40 billion, and it is still nested in the two-story dilapidated building ten years ago, and Sun Ziming is considered the most shelf-free boss in Hollywood.

The general manager's office, public relations department, and distribution department of the light and shadow company are still decorated with the style of a giant company. Columbus's office as a deputy general manager is as simple as a professor's office at a university, and it is common to see screenwriters and directors dressed in ordinary clothes coming and going in their offices.

However, it is precisely this style that makes the working atmosphere of the light and shadow company extremely free, and has become a holy place in the minds of those screenwriters and directors who have not yet emerged in Hollywood, and the famous China Ming is their spiritual godfather.

'As long as you are talented, then go to China Ming, he will definitely give you a stage!" ’

This sentence has become a wise saying among Hollywood's low-level screenwriters and directors. Not to mention, the scary "Blair the Witch" in 99 not only made director Daniel Merrick famous overnight, but also turned from a poor boy who worked part-time in a restaurant to a multimillionaire. and "Fast and Furious", which was released last year, made poor screenwriter Chris Morgan and young director Rob Cohen become Hollywood A-level screenwriters and directors.

However, Mel Gibson, who came to hand in the script today, felt that the atmosphere was very wrong as soon as he entered the door of the light and shadow company.

'Mr. Mel, Mr. Mel Gibson'.

Mel, who was about to walk inside with the script, turned around and saw that Monica, the front desk lady surrounded by visitors, was waving at him, and also waved at her, and quipped, "Want to ask me for an autograph?" ”

"Guys, please wait a minute."

Monica, who was already a plump young woman, bowed slightly to the visitors apologetically, and hurriedly came out of the front desk and pulled Mel to the corner. This is also a lucky person, the former Miss can become a millionaire, and only a strange company like Light and Shadow Company will have such a miracle.

"Mel, did you make an appointment with the boss and Chris?"

"Huh?"

Everyone is an old friend, Monica didn't hide it, and whispered: "Don't go, I'll help you hand it over, the boss is angry." ”

Wow, it's not common for China Ming to get angry outside the set, and Mel wants to see the excitement even more. Monica hurriedly pulled him and whispered, "Mel, please." Saborina explained just now, except for the people in the company, the rest of the people are blocking first, and your script will be released to me first, and I will help you transfer it later. ”

Monica said this, Mel is not good at breaking through, there are no rules in the light and shadow company, but there is a mistake in the work, and the punishment is very severe. Although Monica is an inconspicuous front desk lady, they have known each other for more than ten years and have become good friends with each other.

"Ok, I'll give Saborina a call and don't embarrass you."

Mel took out his mobile phone and finished the call, and also helped Monica make a cameo as Mr. Front Desk, blocking the visiting writers and directors politely, leaving only the script and phone number. With the help of him, a superstar, the directors and screenwriters who wanted to meet Chris Columbus had no choice but to leave the company with the script and phone number, and a few polite words.

Chris's assistant and wife, Saborina, came out very slowly, and when Mel helped Monica send away the writers and directors, she was late and very unsightly.

"Mel, let's go inside and talk. Monica, I'll order food for the boss, don't order Robert's bastards. ”

"Ok, Mel, are you here for lunch?"

Monica agreed, and a bad look appeared on her face.

"Ok, you can order one for me and put it on Ming's account", Mel picked up his script and agreed, followed Saborina into her husband's office, and whispered, "Saborina, what's wrong?" ”

Saborina took the script, put it on Chris's desk, opened the Xiaoice cabinet and brought water to Mel, and said indignantly: "Hmph, those bastards want to seize the control of the company, and are ready to make Jill the deputy general manager, and they will send someone else to be the general manager!" ”

Mel also holds millions of shares in the Light and Shadow Company, and she was also anxious when she said this, "Are they crazy?" Without Jill, who can beat James and Roland? ”

So they made Jill the deputy general manager, and in the future, he was only responsible for the production of the film. Mel, now we only have 29% of the company, and they have 47%. The boss just quarreled with them about this, declaring that either his chairman would be dismissed, or they would all get out of the way and shut up about the company's affairs in the future. ”

It's over, Mel knows that this matter is in trouble, just China Ming's bastard temper, if that bastard gets angry, but he can do anything, his first reaction is to let the broker dump the stock. But as soon as his hand touched the mobile phone in his pocket, Mel took his hand out again, a million is nothing, the key is to stand with his friends at this time.

As he spoke, an indignant Chris came in and took a few sips of the mineral water from Saborina's hand before shaking hands with Mel. Picking up the script on the table and thinking for a while, Chris handed it to his wife and said, "Send it to Jiadai, the boss explained it a few days ago, and send it to him as soon as the script arrives." ”

When Mel heard this, he also wanted to follow, but Chris stopped, "Mel, don't go over, he's angry." ”

"Oh", Mel sat back down and whispered, "Chris, why?" ”

After so many years in Hollywood, Chris is already an actor with good acting skills, and said angrily: "Hmph, why? Those bastards want to transform the company into a company like Warner and Paramount. ”

This is not good, Mel's face is not easy to look at, the reason why the light and shadow company can attract talented people is because it tilts the interests to the director, actors, screenwriters, and behind-the-scenes staff, and tries to distribute the benefits fairly to everyone. If it becomes a company like Warner and Paramount, the interests will be tilted towards major shareholders, and even the strange thing that the box office is two or three hundred million, but the profit is only tens of millions!

Chris nodded and echoed Mel: "Those bastards on Wall Street are all sluts who only care about their immediate interests, if they let them control the company, we will become a second-rate company in Hollywood sooner or later!"

How could Jill be so careless and let Robert take control! ”

"yes, if Jill hadn't sold that many shares, even if he had left 10% more, those bastards wouldn't have been able to take control."

Mel also agreed, but he didn't think that what he saw and heard today was a play directed by Jill and Chris and just for him to watch.

Jill just wants to put the black cauldron of infighting firmly on other people's heads. Not to mention Kirk, they use her position as a counterattack, even if they are wronged, they will be pressed by these guys step by step, unless they give up their controlling stake in the light and shadow company. How is this possible? The two sides have turned their faces, how dare Kirk?
