"Stanley, long time no see, I really want to congratulate you, the first movie won so many nominations," Lei Shidong was very surprised after seeing Xu Guanwu, "Young man, you look really good, is this your wife, she looks so beautiful." ”

"Xiexie, you're in a lot of bad spirits, what's wrong?" Xu Guanwu asked with concern.

Lei Shidong is his important partner in the United States in the future, and Xu Guanwu doesn't want any accidents for him.

"To tell you the truth, someone in the family has been investigating me recently, and they want to force me to resign as chairman." Lei Shidong said distressedly, "My current situation is very bad, and this position will be taken away by others at any time." ”

Xu Guanwu remembered that in the biography he saw in his previous life, it did record that Lei Shidong was investigated in the seventies, but it was safe and sound.

"Stanley, this time you have to help me, use your superpowers, and help me predict." Lei Shidong looked at Xu Guan Wudao as if pleading.

Xu Guanwu's investigation was initiated by Lei Shidong's sister, who was originally the second largest shareholder of the national entertainment company, second only to her father in terms of holdings.

But after Lei Shidong took over as chairman of National Entertainment, he expanded his shares to sixty percent in more than ten years. And Lei Shidong's sister's holding has dropped to only about 10%.

Seeing that the national entertainment company is now thriving and becoming one of the five major theater chains in the United States, but her shares have declined significantly, Lei Shidong's sister is naturally unwilling, so she hired professionals to investigate, and on the board of directors, together with other shareholders, challenged Lei Shidong's chairmanship.

Lei Shidong was in a mess, but he was a little helpless.

Although his act of expanding shares was secretive and tried to exploit loopholes in the law as much as possible, if it is really tried, the ratio of guilty and innocent is also between five and fifty.

Lei Shidong has struggled for more than 20 years to achieve what he is today, and naturally he doesn't want to spend the rest of his life in prison.

Xu Guanwu saw that Lei Shidong's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at himself pitifully, and suddenly realized that this might be a good opportunity.

"Don't worry, I'll help you." Xu Guanwu said.

Receiving Xu Guanwu's affirmative answer, Lei Shidong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

……

Although he promised to help Lei Shidong, Xu Guanwu did not act immediately, he still wanted to catch Lei Shidong's appetite and take the opportunity to fight for more rights and interests.

On April 7, the Golden Globe Awards were held at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles, which is sponsored by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and is one of the most important awards in the American film and television industry.

The big favorites of this year's Golden Globe Awards are "Chinatown" and "The Godfather 2" released last year, and their two films have the highest demand for awards.

The "Godfather" series of movies, Xu Guanwu has not seen it in his previous life, but he is very familiar with its name, and knows that this is a masterpiece that has been regarded as a classic by countless fans.

Directed by Francis. Coppola is also a well-known director in Hollywood, making countless classic works, among which "The Godfather", released in 72, won many awards for him and became a classic masterpiece that has to be mentioned in film history.

"Chinatown" was developed by director Roman Brown. Polanski directed and filmed, Jack. A work in which Nicholson starred. Jack. Nicholson is also one of the leading actors in "One Flew Over the Asylum", which was invested and filmed by Xu Guanwu.

And when it comes to Roman. Polanski, in addition to his amazing directing skills, there is another embarrassing thing that has to be mentioned, which is the case of the strong X underage girl.

Although Polanski escaped prison away from the United States, he never dared to set foot in the United States again.

Although "Rocky" won a staggering box office last year, compared to the two movies "The Godfather 2" and "Chinatown", no matter how high the box office is, it is just a sigh.

Although he knew that it was unlikely to win the award, Xu Guanwu was still very excited to participate in this kind of Shijie top movie event.

For Xu Guanwu, a famous producer, the Golden Globe Awards Organizing Committee also attaches great importance to it, and specially arranges for him to appear in the finale in the back.

originally planned to prepare a Hollywood A-list actress to accompany him on the red carpet, but because he already had Zhao Yazhi, this item was directly waived.

Xu Guanwu saw the beautiful woman originally prepared by the organizing committee, with a tall figure of 1.8 meters, with exquisite curves and convex, twin peaks inserted into the clouds, and blonde hair and blue eyes, very beautiful, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Why, do you regret bringing me here now?" Zhao Yazhi asked quietly.

"Nope! Absolutely nothing! Xu Guanwu's head shook like a wave drum, "You have a wife here, any other woman, I only think she is a piece of." ”

"Liar!" Zhao Yazhi chirped.

Xu Guanwu smiled, and it took another coaxing to make his wife change her mind.

While waiting to walk the red carpet, Xu Guanwu also met an old acquaintance, Richard. Zaniuk and David. Brown.

"Stanley, long time no see!" Richard stepped forward and smiled, "This beauty is ...... Can you tell us about it? ”

"Don't use your brain, this is my wife," Xu Guanwu said angrily, "This is Richard. Zaniuk, the head of 20th Century Fox, Darryl. Zaniuk is his father. This is David. Brown is a well-known Hollywood producer. ”

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding," laughed Richard, "how have you been, where have you been?" I think maybe there is no such free producer as you in the world, and after the investment, the whole person disappeared, and he didn't even ask. ”

"It's thanks to the system set by Hollywood, that's why I'm so laid-back. I don't think you want to see me on set every day. Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

Richard nodded his head, as a producer, the last thing he wanted was to be stared at by investors all day.

"How is the filming of "Jaws", can it be released in time for the summer?" Xu Guanwu asked with concern.

"It's finished, and I'm looking for an editor to edit it." David Brown said.

"Wouldn't it be nice to ask Steve to cut it himself?" Xu Guanwu asked suspiciously.

"Stanley, are you serious or joking, with Steve's current status, how can he enjoy the final editing rights?" Richard said in surprise.

Xu Guanwu was stunned for a moment, "Looking at the appearance of the two of you, it seems that the final editing right is a great thing." ”

"Of course, the battle for the final editing rights has existed in Hollywood for I don't know how many years. With the right to final editing, the producer can check and balance the director, and the director can be stable and obedient. Otherwise, the director's full strength is too great, enough to override the producer. So what power can a producer have other than to invest money? Richard explained.

"Many big directors in Hollywood can't enjoy this power, and although Steve is talented, his qualifications are too shallow, and he can't enjoy this treatment for the time being. We allowed him to participate in the clip and were very generous. "David. Brown added.

"This ......" Xu Guanwu is the first time he has heard of the importance of the right to final editing, which does not exist in Hong Kong.

In Hong Kong, directors have considerable power, and generally directors of Niu Cha often serve as screenwriters, starring, producers, editors, and many other titles, such as Xu Guanwen, Wang Jing, Huang Baiming, Mai Jia, etc., all of them are all-rounders, and with one kick, the boundary between duties and responsibilities is blurred at all.

But in Hollywood, because the system is relatively perfect, the distinction between producers and directors is quite obvious.

The producer is responsible for raising funds, building a crew, and owning the rights to the film and the maximum box office revenue.

And the director only has the right to make films, and he has to shoot completely according to the script, and once there is dissatisfaction, the producer can change people at any time.

In Hollywood, the director's power has been cut considerably.
