Chapter 581: Hollywood's Status (5)
The early winter sun shines on the mist stirred up by the fountain, reflecting a beautiful rainbow, and the sculpture of the Universal logo in the mist is a bit dreamy.
"It's worthy of being a giant, it's really magnificent", looking at the beautiful and creative logo sculpture on the Global Plaza, even Sun Ziming, who has been here a few times, once again sighed heartily.
Shinzhi, who had been waiting at the gate for a long time, laughed, walked over two steps and hugged Sun Ziming, and took his shoulders into the hall, "Sun Sang, are you sarcastic about us?" ”
How can this old guy live younger and younger? used to be scheming like an old fox, but now it is a standard American style, full of enthusiasm and straightforwardness.
Sun Ziming smiled bitterly and shook hands with the people in the hall, although he had been mentally prepared, he was still a little unhappy. This is to let yourself come over to reminisce, and it is clearly using yourself as a flag.
"Ah, no, no, I'm sarcastic about your ex. Mr. Shinyuki, how did you come to pick up this mess? ”
Why did Nobuyuki come? You must have done your homework, otherwise why would you be here?
"Sun Sang, in front of me, save us some face, OK? This is our Executive Vice President......"
After Shinyuki introduced his subordinates, he switched to Northeast dialect and said with Rongyan: "The contemptible brother will be the vice president of Sony, and it is not appropriate for me to stay there anymore." After two years of leisure at home, Panasonic had a lot of headaches about the current situation in the world, and when he saw that I had done a good job at Toho Corporation, he invited me to work here. ”
"Mr. Idei?"
Shin'ichi changed his old fox appearance, and had a bit of American straightforwardness, and scolded with a smile: "You don't know about my family's affairs, and you still ask interesting?" ”
"Hehe", Sun Ziming really found the well and inquired, these two brothers, Shinyuki Izumi passed on to his grandfather, so the names of the two are just the opposite, and the Japanese also pay attention to the inheritance of incense.
After shaking hands with a high-level executive, Shenzhi led Sun Ziming into his special elevator, and when the elevator door closed, he sighed: "Sun Sang, isn't it luxurious here?" This is how money is spent, this kind of waste, it is impossible not to lose money! ”
Thinking of the old two-story building of his company, Sun Ziming also sighed at the grandeur of a large company, "A little, your water and electricity expenses for this day should be enough for us for a month." ”
"But the money we make in a year is not as good as your movie!"
This grandson is gone, although this old fox is a friend enough, but he is also cunning enough, and it is not a good thing for him to catch the handle. If it weren't for the lack of affection today, I wouldn't have come over at all and jumped into this obvious pit.
Shinyuki also knew that this was a cunning little fox, and if he couldn't show him enough benefits, even if the two were old friends, he wouldn't give himself face.
After leading Sun Ziming into his luxurious office, Nobuyuki motioned for the beautiful white assistant lady to go out and began to make tea by himself. When the tea was fragrant, Shin Zhicai smiled and said, "Sun Sang, before I came to the United States, I went to see Shangjing. I really didn't expect that in a few years, you made him the head of Toho's president's office, and he also became a wealthy man who was envied by everyone. ”
Sun Tzu Ming is like an old monk who is sitting in meditation, and he should be talking to himself. Uei's kid jumped so fast because his performance was so good that Toho had to rely on him: the project with Hong Kong Light and Shadow brought Toho a lot of money, as well as the infinitely bright prospects of the mainland market, as for taking him to make a fortune in the stock market, it was a personal relationship between the two.
When Shinyuki said that, he didn't mean anything else, just lamenting the impermanence of the world. After refilling a cup of tea for Sun Ziming, Shin Yucai explained: "Thanks to you, a few years ago, I promoted the cooperation between Toho and Light and Shadow, which brought opportunities for Toho Co., Ltd. to develop rapidly. As a result, he entered the sight of Panasonic, was hired as the deputy director of Panasonic's chairman's office, and was sent to the United States to clean up the mess. ”
Sun Ziming then hehehe, "You don't have to thank me, Light and Shadow has also received hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in the box office share in the Japanese market every year." A few days ago, I just finished the post-production of "Tai Chi Grandmaster", which is estimated to set a new box office record in Japan, and Toho should award you the title of 'Honorary President'! ”
"That's great, the company that has served us can bring huge benefits and good development prospects, which is the biggest dream of professional managers like us!"
Sun Ziming looked at Shinzhi a little strangely, his sincerity was not pretended. When the new president of Toho took office, he immediately forced away this hero, didn't he complain at all?
Shen Zhi quietly fiddled with the tea set, and said leisurely: "The thunder, rain and dew are all heavenly graces, and the willow and the tree are not concubines." Sun Sang, in the workplace, many things can't be too careful. When I worked for Toho, my annual salary was 100 million yen, which is equivalent to 1 million US dollars, which is already the top annual salary in Japan. If I were still in Toho, my current annual salary would be at most 120 million yen, but Panasonic gave me 3 million US dollars plus a 4% dividend, so even in the United States, I would be considered a top manager, right? ”
Yes? Sun Ziming was taken aback, Panasonic is atmospheric enough! However, this guy is really worth the price, if he is willing, he will pay such a high price and ask him to be a consultant for himself!
Unconsciously, Nobuyuki took the rhythm of the conversation into his own hands as before, and began to talk about the cooperation between the two sides.
"Sun Sang, you are worthy of being a genius, in four years, you have established a film and television group in the United States that has begun to take shape, have you ever thought of replicating the miracle of light and shadow in Hong Kong in Hollywood?"
Sun Ziming took a sip of tea and said with a wry smile: "Shinzhijun, this is not a small pond like Hong Kong, this is the place with the highest concentration of talents in the world, many things have been done to the extreme, and it is not at all one or two ideas that can be successful." To tell you the truth, if it weren't for the help of my friends, even ESPN would have let ABC buy it, let alone later TV Cal. ”
When it comes to Sun Ziming's friends, the bitterness on his face is indescribable. The California consortium is ruthless, and it has made the Japanese stock market in turmoil all over the world, and has also made itself personally lose a lot, and the tool is just a small VCD player.
After being silent for a while, Shinzhi put down the small teacup and said in a low voice, "Sun Sang, you are wrong. ABC, NBC, although they are strong, are not without weaknesses. ”
Sun Ziming's eyes flashed with a few traces of excitement, and he prepared to be a flag for others today, and he came here for this. This old guy can be described as having eyes like a torch and can see things that others can't see.
"Sun San, you are a British citizen, you have a TV station in your hands, and you can constantly buy new TV stations. We have a huge library, a lot of production capacity, a lot of money, and you don't have that yet. As long as we work together, we can be on an equal footing with behemoths like ABC and NBC, and you don't have to be wary of us, because we Japanese can't get American television. ”
In Hollywood, production ability is not valuable, and if you can't produce a good movie, the stronger the production ability, the more cumbersome it will be. The Japanese are useful, that is, their film library, and the rest are useless, Sun Ziming shook his head again and again: "No, I only focus on entertainment and sports in the TV industry, and I won't do a comprehensive TV station." ”
"I know, but if they don't have the advantage of entertainment and sports, they will lose their current supremacy."
When it comes to cooperation and interests, Sun Ziming also came out of the rhythm of his control, and said straightforwardly: "Shinzhijun, go around and around, you just want me to help you gain a foothold in Hollywood, right?" ”
Shinyuki has nothing to hide, everyone has reached this position, many things are on the table, and intrigues are useless.
"It's very true that we at Panasonic and Sony are rivals in the electronics industry, but we can work together in Hollywood. If the three of us work together, we will have enough say in Hollywood, which is more advantageous than if you were working with other companies! ”
Sun Ziming was also aroused by Shinzhi's ambitions, although Guangying had the qualifications to go to the table, but after all, he had not yet sat down at the table. Besides, a table is so big, if you squeeze it yourself, it will be very crowded, how can you kill a giant, and sit comfortably in a loose seat?
"Who's going to kill first?"
Sun Ziming's blurt out, which startled Shinyuki, and then he remembered that this guy is not a soft-hearted person. The Hong Kong film industry has grown from a large number of companies to today's four-legged standing, and I don't know how many small film companies have created the hegemony of today's Light and Shadow Group.
