Mel Kalmazin felt a little ashamed under the gaze of Sumner Rayshidong, who snorted coldly and continued: "I don't like to abuse power, but I don't mind being a dictator once. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 I know that acquiring Peskind is a dangerous idea in the eyes of many people, and I don't mind voting on this resolution by way of a vote. But I want to tell you that even if there were eight votes against and one vote in favor, I voted yes, so I have the final say! ”

As soon as these words came out, all the directors present knew that Sumner Lei Shidong had made up his mind this time, otherwise he would not have said such cruel words on such an occasion. Several directors who had previously opposed the resolution had their sights set on Mel Karmazin, but Mel Kalmazin did not have the courage to confront Sumner Raystone at this time.

Sumner Lei Shidong's tough attitude surprised Lin Muye, he didn't expect this usually approachable old man to suddenly burst out with such momentum. The final vote of the board of directors was very interesting, with eight votes in favor and one against, and all the directors defected at the last minute, leaving Mel Karmazin as a lone warrior.

"Very well, I declare this resolution hereby passed!" "We now proceed to the provisional agenda of the Board of Directors, which is a discussion on whether Mr. Mel Karmazin is still qualified to serve as CEO of Viacom, and I propose to the Board of Directors that Mel Kalmazin be removed from his position, and I invite you to express your opinions!" ”

Mel Kalmazin openly went against Sumner Rayshidong this time, and everyone knew that he would definitely not have a good life in Viacom in the future, but no one expected Sumner Rayshidong to be so resolute that he immediately submitted a request to the board of directors to remove Mel Karmazin. No one wants to intercede for Mel Kalmazin at this time, because everyone knows Sumner Rayshidon's personality, and once he decides something, no one can persuade him.

"Mr. Lei Shidong, I think you should give Mel Karmazin a chance, even if he asks him to explain his thoughts, so that everyone in the company can give an explanation!" In the end, it was Lin Mu who stood up for Mel Karmazin, he did not do this to gain the favor of Mel Karmazin, Lin Mu purely talked about things, he felt that Sumner Lei Shidong's approach was indeed a bit inappropriate, he understood Sumner Lei Shidong's arrogant and strong side this time, but Lin Mu didn't mind confronting him face to face.

"I don't need your mercy!" Mel Karmazin didn't pay any attention to Lin Mu's kindness, but Lin Mu's words also gave him the courage to stand up and face Sumner Lei Shidong, "I don't need to give any explanation, I can't stand working under a tyrant anymore." I feel sorry for all of you here for being willing to listen to the rhetoric of a guy who doesn't know anything but panders to his boss! When I came to Viacom, this kid hadn't been born yet, and since everyone prefers to believe him, I have already decided to leave Viacom without the board of directors firing me! Mel Karmazin felt like he had never been so happy, and all the thoughts that had been suppressed in his heart were vividly expressed at this moment.

It's strange that Sumner Lei Shidong didn't get angry, "Karl, I finally heard the true thoughts in your heart, you only had that moment just now, like the Mel Karmazin I knew at the beginning!" ”

"I confess that I am no longer the Mel Kalmazin who blindly worshipped you." Mel Kalmazin has let go of all psychological burdens at this time, "It's a pity that you haven't changed for so many years, you only like to hear flattery, but you don't want to accept different opinions!" ”

"You think you're pandering to me?" Sumner-Lei Shidong didn't expect him to think that.

"Isn't what he did exactly what you hoped for?" Mel Kalmazin said with a sneer.

"Do you know why I gave up on you?" Sumner Lei Shidong looked at Mel Karmazin, but there was endless pity in his eyes, "Not being able to get along with such a person is your biggest failure!" ”

"Him?" Mel Kalmazin thought Sumner Leishidong's words were funny. "You compare him to me?"

"Even though you have handed it back before, he is still able to stand up for you today with a fair heart! That's the biggest difference between you and him! Sumner Lei Shidong solemnly told Mel Karmazin: "You can not believe my words now, but in the future you will definitely regret your actions today!" ”

Mel Karmazin's own resignation left the position of CEO of Viacom, but just when all the directors thought that Sumner Rayshidong would hand over the position to Lin Mu, Sumner Thunderstone's move was once again unexpected, he announced that he would take over as CEO of Viacom, and Lin Mu's position in Paramount remained unchanged, but he replaced Mel Kalmazin on the board of directors as Viacom's vice president, responsible for the company's foreign investments.

Sumner-Rayshidong's move undoubtedly put Viacom back in his own hands, and Lin Mu officially entered Viacom's decision-making hierarchy, setting a record as the youngest board member in Viacom's history. The first thing Lin Mu did after taking office was to start the acquisition of Best.

The reaction from across the company was mixed, but everyone knew that with the departure of Mel Karmazin, Viacom had said goodbye to his time. The combination of Sumner-Lei Shidong and Lin Mu will lead Viacom to a new era. The period of cooperation between Sumner-Lei Shidong and Lin Mu was the fastest and best period in the history of Viacom, so people used to call this period the "glorious road" of Viacom!

Chen Yangzhong, a representative of a Hong Kong film and television production company, has a Hong Kong film that he wants to release in the United States. Although he knew English, it was his first time in the United States, and he finally found a middleman, which led to several Hollywood studios. But he was disappointed that no film company had appreciated the film. As he prepares to leave, his middleman, Jack, calls him. Jack happened to have a friend who worked at Paramount, and he told Jack that Mr. Lin, the vice chairman of Paramount Pictures, might be interested in Chen Yangzhong's film because he was a Chinese-American.

After learning about Lin Mu, Chen Yangzhong felt that this was an opportunity, and he didn't even have time to get to know Lin Mu in detail, so he hurried to Paramount, and his intuition told him that Lin Mu must be interested in this film. Unfortunately, he didn't see Lin Mu at Paramount for the first time, because Lin Mu was still presiding over Viacom's acquisition of Best. As an influential audio-visual distribution company in the industry, Pepsi's asking price is very high, and the negotiations between Lin Mu and them have become extremely difficult. Finally, after more than a month of tug-of-war, Viacom finally got its wish and acquired this audio-visual rental and retail chain group with outlets all over the world. This is another big step towards Viacom's goal of building a global ********.

When Lin Mu returned to Paramount, although his position had not changed, Viacom's status as a director and a title of group vice president had made him a real power figure in Paramount. Even though he doesn't see it that way, everyone in the company, including Shirley Lansing, thinks so.

Therefore, the first thing Lin Mu did when he returned to Paramount was to have a deep conversation with Shirley Lansing. He said that even if he became a director of Viacom, he would not interfere with Shirley Lansing's decision-making, and that Lin Mu was only the vice chairman of the company at Paramount, and Shirley Lansing was still needed to preside over the overall work. Lin Mu's words reassured Shirley Lansing, she didn't want to be an ornament at Paramount's top management, and if so, she would rather resign. When Lin Mu returned to his office, he learned from his assistant that a producer from Hong Kong had come to him twice.

"Producers in Hong Kong?" Lin Mu looked at the business card left by Chen Yangzhong, this is an unfamiliar name, this should be a character who is not very famous, because Lin Mu's memory does not have any memory about this name. Even so, when the assistant told Lin Mu that Chen Yangzhong was here again, he still decided to meet this Hong Kong man he had never met.

"Hello, sir!" Chen Yangzhong's pronunciation has a strong flavor of British English.

"Mr. Chen Yangzhong, right?" Lin Mu used standard Cantonese, which surprised Chen Yangzhong.

"You're also from Hong Kong?" He could hear Lin Mu's Cantonese with a strong Hong Kong-style emphasis.

"To be precise, my father is from Hong Kong." Lin Mu clearly told Chen Yangzhong that he was born in Taiwan, but he grew up in the United States, and he didn't spend his mind on being close to himself.

"I wonder if Mr. has seen kung fu movies in Hong Kong? It's the kind of film that Mr. Bruce Lee performed. Chen Yangzhong was afraid that Lin Mu would not understand, so he deliberately compared a few kung fu moves with him.

"Is it a movie by Mr. Jackie Chan or Jet Li?" Lin Mu asked very bluntly.

"Great, so you've seen kung fu movies in Hong Kong!" Knowing that Lin Mu knows something about Hong Kong kung fu movies, Chen Yangzhong feels that what he has to do next is much simpler, "Our company has a new film by Mr. Jet Li, I wonder if you are interested in watching it?" ”

"You're not talking about "Jingwu Heroes", right?" Jet Li has studied many movies in the early stage, and when Jet Li is mentioned, he immediately thinks of Chen Zhen in the movie "Jingwu Hero". "Heroes of the Martial Arts" is not only loved by the audience, but also by film critics, and it can be said that the film represents a new height of Hong Kong kung fu films. Jet Li's painstaking film combines Chinese/Chinese kung fu and Western boxing techniques that he has studied over the years, which fascinates kung fu fans. The idea of the film is no longer confined to the national hatred of foreign powers, but shows a kind of great power demeanor that China/country should have. Although this film is a tribute to Bruce Lee's "Jingwumen", it is also a transcendence.

"You've seen this movie before?" Chen Yangzhong's eyes widened like copper bells, this film has only been released in Hong Kong for more than a month, and Lin Mu already knows about this movie.

Lin Mu realized that he accidentally slipped his mouth, but fortunately, since Chen Yangzhong came to the United States to open up the market, the film should have been released in Hong Kong, and he can still justify himself. However, in Lin Mu's impression, the film "Jingwu Hero" was only released at the end of 94 and landed in the US market in 97, is it because of him that history has changed? Now that this film has been put in front of him, Lin Mu has no reason to refuse it, how can future Hollywood movies be without the presence of Chinese/Chinese kung fu? It's time for Americans to see the power of Chinese/Chinese kung fu! "A friend of mine who just came back from Hong Kong mentioned this film to me, Mr. Chen came to me to prepare for the release of this film in the United States, Paramount is willing to cooperate with Mr. Chen to release this film in its theaters!" Knowing that Chen Yangzhong brought "Jingwu Hero" starring Jet Li this time, Lin Mu signed a cooperation agreement with him without hesitation.

Lin Mu plans to promote this Chinese/Chinese kung fu movie through Paramount's marketing channels in North America, for which he also personally produced a promotional short album for the film. After the film was screened in some theaters, it received a good response. In Jet Li's body, Americans seem to see the shadow of Bruce Lee in the 70s again. In fact, Lin Mu is not completely selfless in doing this, he wants to push Chinese/Chinese films to the world stage earlier, and Hollywood is undoubtedly a good platform. According to Lin Mu's assumption, as long as Chinese/Chinese films can be accepted by Hollywood, with Hollywood's position in the world film market, he is fully sure that Chinese/Chinese films will be fully promoted to the international development track within 10 years. His initial idea is to introduce a number of Chinese/Chinese films in the U.S. market, so that American audiences can have a full understanding of Chinese/Chinese films, and then add Chinese/Chinese elements to Hollywood films, making them an important commercial element to support Hollywood films. At a time when Hollywood films have gradually become inseparable from Chinese/Chinese film elements, Lin Mu can borrow Hollywood's operational framework to shoot Chinese/Chinese blockbusters in the real sense. But the truth is not as expected, although the American audience is very enthusiastic about the film, Hollywood does not seem to be interested in this Chinese/Chinese film. (To be continued.) )
