Chapter 370: Praise Your Daughter
"Layton, I think Huang has a point. Nalally is now an adult, and it's time for you to let her fly on her own. You can rest assured that Huang's Mythical Entertainment Company is a very powerful company, and the company has strict protection for its artists, and they are all equipped with drivers and bodyguards. So, it's not a problem in terms of safety." Pavon also helped to persuade.
"Your entertainment company also equips its artists and stars with drivers and bodyguards?" Kate Layton was a little surprised.
"In addition to the entertainment company, Huang also owns a shipyard, which you should have heard of, and he also has an international security company. This international security company has almost a thousand people, and almost all of these thousands of security personnel are retired from the dragon. Everybody's tough." Pavon already knew about these situations, so seeing that Huang Bai didn't stop him from revealing what he meant to Layton, he explained it in detail.
This really surprised Layton a little. He also knows that having such a security company is actually equivalent to having a private armed force, which is also a manifestation of strength.
There are many rich people in the world, but not every rich man has such power. It's not that they can't do it, but to see if there is such a need, to be honest, his Kate family also has such a force, but the scale is not so large, and now it is estimated that they can only get together an armed force of two or three hundred people. However, the amount of money to be spent on such a team every year is quite staggering, and ordinary people are really not willing to spend such a large amount of money in vain.
In addition, this kind of power can sometimes be a double-edged sword. Many wealthy families have also had the experience of being injured by such a double-edged sword.
The so-called human heart is unpredictable, especially in their Western world, everyone only looks at money, and there is no loyalty to speak of. If the people who have a grudge against their rich people directly spend more money to sell those people, then they will be miserable. In the end, it is possible to be killed by the power that he spends money to raise.
These situations in the West are completely different from those in the Dragon Kingdom.
The people of the Dragon Kingdom have a loyal heart, and ordinary people, in the face of righteousness, they can resist the temptation of money, and they will not be moved by money, but will only be loyal to their employers. Of course, the main thing is that the people of the Dragon Kingdom are kind in their hearts, they have the idea of right and wrong in their hearts, there is the distinction between good and evil, and between evil and justice, the people of the Dragon Kingdom will not hesitate to stand on the side of justice.
Therefore, there are many things that they Westerners can't do, but here in the Dragon Country, it's not a big problem.
Huang Bai then explained, "What Pavon said is true. This is mainly because we dragon people are developing in your western world, and we will indeed receive some unfriendly treatment. Don't be in a hurry to deny it, this is indeed a common phenomenon, from ancient times to the present, you Westerners will have a certain degree of ideological vigilance against us Longguo people. These, in fact, are also a period of backwardness and weakness that we Dragon Country people have had before, and during that period, we Dragon Country people have been suppressed and looked down upon by you Westerners. But these have also become a thing of the past, and now, we Dragon Country people will no longer be as weak as before, and we will no longer be bullied casually. It's a pity that you Westerners, there are still a large number of people who don't know about the Dragon Kingdom, and they are still so arrogant and arrogant, thinking that anyone can come and step on our Dragon Country."
Layton opened his mouth, but was stopped by Cork.
Huang Bai continued, "I don't care how other Dragon Nation people will be treated when they come to your Western World, what kind of treatment and encounters they will have. But personally, I obviously have that ability and strength, and I have the conditions to make my life happier, so why should I be wronged like that? Now the world is open, you Westerners can go to our Dragon Country to play, you can go to our Dragon Country to invest and do business, and you can make money from our Dragon Country. So why can't I come to your Western world to invest and do business and make money? You Westerners come to our Dragon Country, as long as you go with a friendly attitude, you will be protected by our Dragon Country, so to speak, as long as you Westerners don't do some illegal things in our Dragon Country, we are very welcome, even ordinary people, they are very friendly to you, very welcome."
"But what about us coming to you? Have you fulfilled your responsibility to protect our dragon people? Give us fairness and justice
Is it treated? No. Therefore, the purpose of my establishment of the international security company is actually to ensure that I can have the ability to protect myself when you invest and do business in the West. Of course, the main thing is to protect the celebrities of my entertainment company. My company, bringing the company's stars to the Western world to develop, then we must be responsible for their safety. Of course, we also treat everyone equally, as long as it is the star artist of my entertainment company, whether it is my dragon country people or you Westerners, my company will protect it. So, if Miss Nalali joins my entertainment company, then we will also take care of her safety."
Cork's explanation is clear enough.
Leiden did understand these practices of Cork at this time.
Because what Huang Bai said is indeed a reality.
Don't talk about anyone else, even if it's him, when Pavon told him that there was such a dragon countryman, he was a little disdainful. He thinks that he is just a person from the Dragon Kingdom, and he has the ability to help him make his daughter popular, so this is why he decided to meet Huang Bai after waiting for so many days.
These days, he also has a certain understanding of the situation of cork. Of course, a lot of it is also a little public information, such as Huang Bai's killing of a child of the Ravi family, the grudge with the Ravi family, and the fact that Huang Bai was assassinated by the Black Yao Knight Six-member team earlier, these are things that he can't know.
But what he learned did make him feel very surprised, a dragon country man who was about the same age as his daughter could actually achieve so much, especially the recent movie of the goddess of the night, and the money he earned made made him feel red. A movie has made billions of dollars. How long does it take for his home mine to make so much money? And Huang Bai, who can easily make a movie, can earn so much. z.br>
He was indeed a little moved at this time.
He couldn't help but ask, "What's that...... If my daughter joins your entertainment company, how much can I give my daughter when the movie is made?"
"Share? Haha, Mr. Layton, you probably don't really know much about the film and television industry. Let's talk to you, in terms of music, we do need to give singers a share, this depends on the singer's position, if he is a star at the time, the singer's share will indeed be more. But in terms of movies, there are generally very few shares for actors. Unless the actor himself is also one of the investors, or the actor himself is already at the superstar level. Otherwise, you can generally only get a fixed salary, of course, if the movie is successful and the box office is a big hit, there will be additional bonuses, but the bonus depends on how much the film producer gives. Your daughter can't get a share of the box office, she can only get a fixed salary."
Huang Bai couldn't help laughing, knowing that Leiden really didn't know much about the market in the film and television industry.
"Is that so? And how about my investment in your films?" Layton thought that if Cork's movie was a big hit like the Goddess of the Night, he would make money no matter how he invested.
"My Myth Entertainment generally does not accept outside investment." Huang Bai shook his head and said, "Besides, don't look at my movie at the box office, but the amount of investment is also huge. The production cost of the Goddess of the Night requires an investment of almost 200 million, and now the Titanic, which is almost ready, is even more. Also, investing in movies is also risky, not every investment in a movie will make money, generally speaking, the current film industry basically loses a lot of money. Even I don't have the confidence to say that the movie is a big hit. I know that Mr. Layton, you are not short of money, and you can invest one or two hundred million at will, but if you think about it, wouldn't it be better to invest so much money directly to your daughter?"
"Uh......" Layton slapped his forehead when he heard this, and felt that what Huang Bai said was also the same truth.
The Leiden family is indeed rich, and in terms of assets, it must be more abundant than the Ravi family. However, a family like him, which has a history of more than 100 or 200 years, has more clansmen, and the money belongs to the whole family. Of course, individuals will definitely have a certain amount of personal property, but unless they are very capable people who can earn more wealth on their own, otherwise, they all live on the family property.
The life of a rich family is not the life of an ordinary family, and their expenses are also very large.
place
Therefore, after falling to the individual, this money is also limited, even if it is the head of the family, when he wants to use a certain amount of cash, he has to go through a family meeting to decide.
Hundreds of millions of cash, this is certainly not a small amount, in fact, hundreds of millions of cash are not so easy to call.
In this case, in fact, you can also refer to He Weixiang's family, basically, it is also the same situation.
Leiden's life is naturally colorful, with women around him and many outer rooms. When the children in the family grow up, they naturally have their own ideas, everyone wants to get more, and if they can't get it, they let their mother ask Leiden, or they will make trouble, anyway, they will cry, make trouble, and hang themselves, which are not divided between Chinese and Western.
As the head of the family, if there is trouble in the family, there will be opinions in the family. If you lose the position of head of the family, you will lose even more.
Besides, according to their Western laws, it doesn't matter how they deal with it in private, but if it is put on the table, then if he wants to divorce Yuan, then half of his family property will have to be divided.
Therefore, these are also the difficulties of Leiden, he wants to give more to his little daughter who has suffered a lot of grievances at home, but he can't.
Layton took a deep breath and said, "Huang, if my daughter joins your Mythical Entertainment Company, are you really sure to make her popular? How long will it take? Can you really protect her?"
"Make her popular, it won't be long before I create music for her, and it won't be long before she becomes popular. Of course, if you want to become a real diva superstar, it takes a certain amount of time, and if you don't have three or five years, it may not be reached, after all, although she has released music works now, she can be regarded as debuting in the entertainment industry, but she is actually equivalent to a newcomer and has no fame. Therefore, it is unlikely that a newcomer will win too many awards at once. Whether it is the music industry or film and television, it is also a place that pays attention to qualifications, and without the recognition of some awards, then she will not be recognized, and she cannot be called an entertainment diva."
Huang Bai said honestly: "As for the protection of her, I can only say that I will do my best, after all, no one dares to say that there are no accidents, right? Anyway, my company will equip her with the necessary manpower to protect her just like any other star. Of course, if there is an early warning of accidents, then our company will definitely strengthen the protection for her, and there will be no accidents for her."
As for any accidents, these things don't need to be made clear, after all, no one looks good when they are put out.
Leiden's worries are nothing more than the disadvantage and even assassination of this little daughter in the family. In fact, these do not dare to come openly, and they are all using some shady means. The protection provided by Cork can resolve many overt and covert murder methods. In this way, it is actually enough.
In fact, the Western world is also a world with rules and regulations, and many things will not be done openly, but only secretly.
"Nalally, what do you think of yourself?"
At this point, Layton looked at his daughter.
Kate Nalali is about the same age as Cork, she seemed very quiet all night, she didn't talk to Cork, nor did she talk to Hu Xianyu who accompanied Cork, but Hu Xianyu sat with her and exchanged a few words with her from time to time, but her interest was not too high.
However, Huang Bai can see that this girl is a girl who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and has her own personality and ideas.
"IāI'm listening to your father......" Nalari glanced up quickly, but lowered her head again.
"This ...... Alright then, Yellow, let's think about it first."
"It's okay, there's no need to rush to make a decision." Huang Bai is not too anxious, after all, there are many potential Western stars, and Nalally is not necessary.
However, Cork said to Nalally, "Miss Kate, there is a situation that you need to think through. If you join Myth Entertainment, you will be free from your father's protection, and you will have to learn to live independently. Also, whether you are a singer star or a film and television star, it is very hard, you can get a lot of wealth from it, but these fortunes do not fall from the sky all at once, you need to work hard to practice singing and improve your singing skills. Be an actor too
It's the same, you need to work hard to practice your acting skills, even so, in the process of filming, it will be very hard, sometimes the wind and rain come and go, these are indispensable. I can make you popular, but I won't provide for a delicate daughter. So, whether it's you or Mr. Layton, you need to think carefully about whether Nalari is going to go down the path of entertainment, and whether she can afford to suffer like this."
"IāI'm not afraid of hard work!" Kate Nalali looked up at this time and glanced at Cork a little annoyed, as if she was dissatisfied with Cork underestimating her.
"Haha, it's best if you're not afraid of hard work. So...... I think it's pretty much the same, so let's just say it." Huang Bai said.
"Okay, then I may have to ask you Mr. Cork."
"Well, who told me to be good friends with Pavon?" Huang Bai stood up, intending to leave.
"I'll send you."
"No need, they're all friends, you're welcome." Huang Bai told Layton not to get up, and then said to Pavon, "Old friend, you and Puyol Terry know each other. In the future, he will be the manager of my Nanamp Mythical Entertainment Branch, and if I am not there with Manager Hu Xianyu, he will manage the company's affairs. If you have anything to do in the future, please take care of him more, of course, if you need anything, you can just order him."
"No problem, Terry, you have my business card, let's have dinner together another day."
"Okay, I'll be with you."
"Well, that's fine." Pavon just made a gesture in front of Cork, indicating that he recognized Terry.
Then he couldn't help but ask, "Yellow, the Titanic...... movie."
"It's going to be soon, but it has to be planned, and it won't be released until early July, when it's the summer vacation, and it's easier to get results. Just wait in peace, don't be anxious."
"Hehe...... Pavin smiled knowingly.
Can he not be in a hurry? A movie can bring him so many benefits, and all this money falls into his private pocket. The sooner the movie is released, the sooner he will receive box office dividends.
"By the way, are there any new movies? There's still so much time left for this year, so I can make a few more films." Pavon tasted the sweetness and really hoped that Huang Bai would make more movies.
Huang Bai said angrily: "The success of a movie requires a good script, a director, actors, money, and slow refinement to make a good movie. In addition, it is also necessary to consider the receptivity of this film market, and to consider the timing of the release of a movie. It's not something that can be done casually. The most important thing is that the box office of the movie needs the general public, you have one vote and I have one vote to accumulate, taking into account the economic situation of the general public, if the whole economic environment is not very good, and the people have no money, then no matter how good the movie is, they have no money to go to the cinema to watch it. In this way, it is very difficult for the film to get a good score."
The current economic environment in the West cannot be said to be good, but it cannot be said how bad it is.
Anyway, because of local wars in some places, it does have a certain impact on the entire Western economic environment.
In addition, because of the relationship between this epidemic that has lasted for two or three years, it has also had a great impact on the overall economic environment.
At present, the entire world economic environment is also in a relatively sluggish situation, and it needs to be revitalized and recovered.
Now, Huang Bai is actually stuck at a point to invest in the Western world, which is also a kind of economic excitement that they urgently need in the Western world.
It is precisely because of this that Huang Bai's investment in this British island country is relatively smooth. Otherwise, if they don't lack investment, it is estimated that the shipyard will not come to Huangbai to buy it.
And if you want to get involved in the entertainment industry, you will definitely suffer from the obstacles of their Western entertainment industry, and it will not be so smooth.
