Chapter 302. 【Poaching】
After saying that, after shooting this set of shots, he glanced at the editor and soundtrack artist who were stunned beside him, Yi Feiyang laughed, he thought it was really good. To be able to surprise everyone, this film is considered a success of 30%.
"How? I've arranged this plot okay, right? This drama is about to be completed, and it will be up to you to perform. After following for so long, you should know it in your heart! ”
Editors and musicians always try to follow the director whenever possible, so that they can discuss where to edit and where to score. It's the norm in the industry, and even though no one rules it, everybody does it.
Just when Yi Feiyang, the editor, and the soundtrack were busy together, an urgent call from Dures, vice president of Dream Entertainment, told Yi Feiyang a very heavy news: "Haino Cinema Line has been acquired, and Abbas is here!" ”
Haino Cinema Line is the largest partner of Dream Entertainment for a long time, this cinema chain has 138 movie theaters in Los Angeles, which can be said to be the most powerful one among many movie theater chains, but such a movie theater chain was actually acquired by Columbia or Sony represented by Abbas? If it weren't for honing his strong self-control, Yi Feiyang would definitely jump three feet high. But now he was just as shocked. He hadn't expected Abbass to make such a move.
Hainuo Cinema Line has been operating well, and the cooperation with Dream Entertainment is also very smooth, and the owner of the cinema chain has no reason to sell Hainuo, so why would such a situation occur?
Yi Feiyang didn't know what to do, but he wanted to understand it clearly. So he immediately left the filming location. Hurry back now!
instructed Fat Jack and Weinstein to take charge of continuing the filming of the rest of the scene. Yi Feiyang was escorted by bodyguards and immediately rushed back to Dream Entertainment.
Yi Feiyang has just arrived at the door of the company. I saw Dures himself come to greet him. Yi Feiyang knew that things were probably more than that simple.
Walking into the company's elevator together, Yi Feiyang did not speak, but looked at Dures with an unchanged face: "What is going on?" Let's talk about it in detail! ”
In fact, Dures didn't know what was going on, because it all came so suddenly. At a little after 9 o'clock this morning, Hainault announced that it had been acquired by Sony Columbia, and the new person in charge who appeared at the press conference was Abbas.
"How could Hainault suddenly sell it? Isn't their cinema line running very well? Yi Feiyang rubbed his nose, all this came really suddenly. He also thought that Hainault Cinemas, which he had been working with, would not be acquired by other film companies, but now it has become Columbia's bag.
Dures was also at a loss. He apparently didn't know much about Hainault's move. As soon as I entered the office, I saw Alex, the investment manager of Dream Company, hurrying over with a copy of the information: "Hi, boss, this is the information of Hainuo Company, we are in trouble this time!" ”
The acquisition of Hainault will cause a pattern of the situation in the entire Hollywood film industry, and in general, Colombia will take the risk of "monopoly" and spend a huge amount of money to get Hainault Cinemas, which will make many other film companies follow suit. Then there will be a storm of acquisitions in Hollywood. As a new and strong rise of fantasy entertainment, it must bear the brunt, and many of the theaters it cooperates with are facing the crisis of being acquired.
Of course, Fantasy Entertainment can also carry out acquisition activities, but the problem is that if you want to buy a theater chain, you must have money, but what Fantasy lacks most now is cash flow!
That's right, the dream strength is very good, a large company with more than 3 billion yuan, the original cash flow has reached about one billion, but Yi Feiyang continues to expand the company, invest in other projects, and now it is spending the crew to attract talents, and the cash flow has changed from a majestic river to a thin stream.
Yi Feiyang has never been the president of the company before, and of course he is not good at controlling the flow of funds, although others are in the business, but under the cover of Yi Feiyang's fame, their habitual trust in Yi Feiyang makes Yi Feiyang spend money lavishly and without moderation. Now, the problem has arisen, there is no money to maintain the theater chain, so there is only the share of being oppressed.
"The most important thing is that the theaters that we work with have sent distress letters, hoping that we can temporarily fund some of their funds to help them survive the difficulties of being acquired!" Alex's expression is also very serious, since he joined Dream Entertainment, Yi Feiyang's trust in him, and the heavy responsibility given to him by the company, made him have a sense of belonging to Dream Entertainment, so he has long regarded this place as his home, and now his "home" is facing disaster, for him, of course, he is very nervous.
"If we don't take action, then we will be seen as useless paper tigers, and the companies that relied on us will lose confidence in us, and we will face a worse situation!" Alex tried his best to express his analysis, and it seemed that this guy, who had always been hip-hop, had become uncalm.
Yi Feiyang and Dures certainly understood what he meant, the matter was urgent, and countermeasures had to be made.
"What's going on with them?" Yi Feiyang turned his head to look at Dures with a grim expression: "I never believe that Abbas's acquisition of Hainuo is just such a simple appearance, he must have a backmove!" ”
"Nope!" Dures was really not sure, now he couldn't receive any wind, and hesitated for a moment before saying: "By the way, I heard not long ago that someone from Colombia came to poach, but I didn't take it seriously, but now ......"
Before Dures could finish speaking, Yi Feiyang knew that Abbas was doing something, because there was a knock on the door - Dias, the new head of production, knocked on the door, pushed the door in and handed an envelope. He was followed by Effie, the head of the planning department, and Malis, the artist training department.
Just when Alex was still inexplicable, Yi Feiyang and Dures looked at each other with anger in their eyes. It would be foolish for them to not know what Abbas was trying to do.
Dias, apparently the one who had been elected to speak on his behalf, smiled awkwardly and handed the envelope to Durrez. Then he shrugged his shoulders and said to the two, "Hi." Sorry boss. I'm sorry Mr. Dures, Colombia dug us in the past twice as much, yes, we didn't have a choice, after all, for life, isn't it?! ”
Dures was furious, slammed the table and scolded: "Damn! What do you mean by that......"
Stretching out his hand to stop Dures's angry scolding, Yi Feiyang took a deep breath, thinking that Abbas's move was not poisonous. just poached the most important executives of the fantasy entertainment company as soon as he made a move. Don't think it's a big deal, there is naturally no problem with the administration, and even if you want to come to Abbas, you may not be able to look down on the administrators of Dream Entertainment.
However, the production department is related to the production of the film, and it needs a supervisor who can organize everything. The planning department is more artistic, and the scripts and the like are all under the management of this department, and the artist training department is also the new source of blood for the dream company. Now it's been poached all at once, which is definitely a very poisonous trick.
Yi Feiyang smiled slightly, his fingers lightly tapping on the tabletop, forming an extremely strange rhythm in the silent room.
Being stared at by Yi Feiyang for a long time, Dias and the others were ashamed at the same time.
Originally, this poaching was a common thing. However, don't forget that in addition to the administrative staff, the departments related to movies in the fantasy entertainment company are all newcomers. It was Dream Entertainment that promoted them. It is morally reprehensible to let Hollywood know what they are capable of, but to leave the company at this critical time.
Of course, as a mixed in Hollywood, everyone understands a truth, money comes first! As for bullshit morality, to hell with it!
Yi Feiyang's smile was a little mocking, and he finally stopped the terrible tapping, and said in a light tone: "It is undeniable, man, Colombia is stronger than our fantasy entertainment, and it may be a good place to live, you can be unjust, but I can't be ruthless, so here I agree with your resignation!" ”
Dures sighed, he couldn't imagine that such a thing would suddenly happen to a company that was developing well. Shopping malls are really like battlefields, and movies are actually all commodities and shopping malls. As long as there are interests, there will be commercial conflicts, which is inevitable.
Listening to Yi Feiyang's words, although Dias was a little ashamed in their hearts, but the arrogant attitude of the Americans still made them not bow their heads, but some did not dare to face Yi Feiyang directly, in a word, everyone came out to mix for money, what bullshit and righteousness, and only Chinese can account for it.
Of course, they don't know what to do, Yi Feiyang looks calm and indifferent on the surface, but in fact, he wants to eat their hearts in his heart, and everything on the surface is just pretended.
As the representative of the resignation, Dias shrugged his shoulders again, and the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, "Boss, before leaving, I want to remind you, in fact, in addition to our department, there are also people in some other departments who want to resign, yes, it's not just us, I hope you can deal with it!" Well, thank you for taking care of us for so long, and see you again! ”
Yi Feiyang was taken aback, wouldn't this have dug up half of the entire dream? Wouldn't it ruin the structure of the company that had taken him more than three years to organize? A ball of anger arose in his heart, and he suddenly stepped forward!
As Yi Feiyang's eyes suddenly widened and he took a step forward, Dias and the others were all taken by Yi Feiyang's momentum, and they couldn't help but retreat a few steps. It wasn't until Yi Feiyang stopped moving forward that they barely stopped retreating.
Yi Feiyang was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, so he had to punch the oil painting on the wall.
The frame of the oil painting was shattered by him and fell to the ground.
Everyone, shocked.
For a long time, Dias and they have rarely known this Chinese boss, and they have not even seen him often. Now that they have seen it, they have found that Yi Feiyang is far more difficult to deal with than Dures! This kind of fury alone is what Dures lacks.
"No wonder many people call him an entertainment tyrant, just looking at the angry appearance just now, it's scary enough." Dias and the others thought in their hearts.
"Now, get out of here! Otherwise, I'll crush your bones! Yi Feiyang's eyes erupted with fire, and he said viciously to Dias and the others.
Dias and the others, needless to say, under Yi Feiyang's powerful anger, they could only flee in a hurry, and almost fell a few times when they escaped, Yi Feiyang's appearance was really terrifying.
Seeing Dias and the others fleeing, Dures and Alex were also frightened by the sudden anger of Yi Feiyang, thinking that for so long, the two had never seen Yi Feiyang lose his temper too much, even if he really lost his temper, it was when he was filming on the set, but now...... Oh my God, it's terrible!
"Yi, you're fine, right? God, you looked horrible, like a cannibal tiger! Dures couldn't help but say.
Yi Feiyang knew that he had a little gaffe just now, exhaled deeply, suppressed the violent qi in his chest, and then said: "I'm fine, I'm just too angry, I scared you, I'm sorry to ......."
"Oh, it's nothing, in fact, seeing the triumphant appearance of those bastards just now, we are also very angry, and we can't wait to kick them a few times!"
"It's just a pity that this oil painting......" Alex deliberately eased the atmosphere, "it's so broken!" ”
Yi Feiyang shrugged, "Now we have a problem, yes, a big problem!" ”
"I understand, especially with insufficient funds, unless a miracle happens!" Dures said with a sigh.
Alex: "I'm afraid that before the miracle happens, Colombia has already killed and dug up all the human resources of our company!" ”
Looking at the two worried, Yi Feiyang couldn't help but ask himself:
Miracles, will they really happen? (To be continued......)
