World-class director in the entertainment industry

Los Angeles time...

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

Dolby Theater.

"ladies and gentlemen..."

"weletothe85thandlastacademiaawards."

Seth MacFarlane, in a white shirt, black suit, and a bow tie, stepped onto the stage with a smile on his face.

Watching the rows of global cinema luminaries seated below the theater kick off the opening remarks of the 85th Academy Awards. …

"Crack...crack...crack..."

The people in the circle sitting below also applauded respectfully.

Everyone is smiling and very cooperative.

.......

Magic City.

China time... It's past nine o'clock in the morning.

Pudong New Area.

A large construction site.

Outsiders are not allowed to enter the construction site, and there are guards blocking it.

At this moment, there were a few cars with signs that were not blocked.

Ten minutes later, a person wearing a helmet hurriedly left the construction site and went to a nearby commercial building.

Walked into a certain floor of a commercial building, in a certain office.

"So... That is to say, according to your understanding, someone is deliberately looking for trouble? Then you are here to persuade me, let me call back to the headquarters, let some people in the headquarters get the news, to determine the end Did someone in the headquarters offend some, some very influential people in your China?"

In the office, a middle-aged Caucasian man quietly listened to the report of the man wearing a hard hat, and after pondering for a while, he asked again with doubt, confirmation, doubt, mixed tone and strange attitude.

"ye...Director Thomas, as an employee of Disney, I have great love for the company. As a Chinese, I also firmly believe that my judgment is correct. Those personnel are from some local departments. If they are serious, then our The construction site will have to be suspended and cannot be started normally. If the follow-up is not handled well, the cooperation between Disney and Magic City will inevitably come to an end. It is expected that the completion of the Disney Resort in three years will be a distant plan... "

A yellow-skinned middle-aged man, the hard hat on his head at this moment makes people feel unsafe, all because this man is nodding and bowing at the moment, with the look of a pug on his face.

He obviously looks taller than the white man sitting on the chair, but his waist is bent, and the smile on his face gives people a flattering feeling.

The two of them spoke to each other fluently in a foreign language.

"Doug, I and the people at the headquarters can see your love for the company. You are a good employee who has devoted himself wholeheartedly. Disney is proud to have you. Come on, when this project is completed, the headquarters will Let you be the person in charge of Disney's Greater China region. Only a pure Chinese native like you can better understand the local habits and customs of China, so that we can help Disney expand its business in China..."

Thomas sat on the chair, staring at the yellow-skinned man in the hard hat who nodded and bowed with contempt in his eyes.

Seeing the other party cautiously avoiding his gaze, and there was a look of flattery in his eyes, as well as expressions of fear and worry, Thomas suddenly smiled.

What the person in front of me said is believable. He can also be used. He is definitely a good knife. This kind of person can be used.

Thinking of this, Thomas stood up, walked to the man in the yellow-skinned hard hat, reached out and patted the man on the shoulder with an expression of appreciation on his face.

"Yes, yes, yes, thank you, thank you Director Thomas, I must always focus on the company, whatever the company asks me to do, I will do whatever the company asks me to do, and give everything for the company at any time..."

The middle-aged man in a hard hat called Doug trembled immediately when he heard this.

It was a shiver of happiness, an involuntary shiver of joy.

Because his boss, Director Thomas, his first direct boss, patted him on the shoulder and praised him at this moment. This is his extremely glorious moment and honor.

Doug felt that his life had been sublimated, that his life was for this moment, for the appreciation of his master.

"Go ahead, stay on the construction site and keep watch, report any news at any time, and don't let the workers be lazy, don't waste our Disney money, it can be lower than the original estimated amount, the lower the better, Doug, I believe you I won't be disappointed..."

Thomas, who had lost a bone, finally waved it casually, as if driving away a pug.

Looking at Doug who bowed and stepped back respectfully...

"laugh..."

Thomas let out an intriguing laugh.

He took out his phone and started making calls.

......

Disney headquarters.

CEO's office.

"Fack..."

"Call back again and ask carefully, what is it for, what is the reason, and, ask me clearly, is it all Hollywood companies, or just us Disney?"

Robert Iger was furious at this moment, and gave orders to several supervisors standing in front of the desk.

"Yes, President."

"President, we will immediately ask the staff of China Film Group in North America."

Several supervisors nodded with ugly faces, agreed, promised to come down, and left in a hurry.

"Is it you, Qin from China, do you have such great ability?"

Robert Iger's face was also not good-looking. Leaning on the chair, squinting his eyes and thinking about something, he started talking to himself after a long time.

From the Hilton Hotel next to the Dolby Theater where the Oscars were held, Robert, who had just returned to the company, received a report from the following people, saying that all the films that Disney planned to release in China were rejected by China Film, and all applications were rejected. came back.

You need to know this kind of cooperation. For example, some movies will be released this year. The post-production may be completed three years ago, the contract was signed two years ago, and the release will start two years later. So now in March 2013, actually The number of films that Disney has negotiated with China Film has exceeded double digits.

Negotiations take time, but Robert's dog nose is extremely sensitive. From this incident, his dog-like nose smelled...

......

"The call was transferred and I spoke to Thomas myself."

Thomas, who was far away in Shanghai, made a few phone calls before passing the information to Robert Iger, the president at the headquarters.

"Hello, Thomas, I'm Robert, Robert Iger, and I'm reporting what you know."

Facing the project director of the sixth resort in the world that the company is promoting, Robert, as the president of the headquarters, was not polite and gave orders directly.

This is the second time that Robert has had a bad premonition in the short time since he returned to the company.

Just now, I spent a lot of money and bought some people to make a certain Huaxia director who walked on the red carpet tonight get nothing tonight, and let the other party come with hope, but return full of disappointment.

But Robert's good mood was gone.

First, the company's film was rejected by Huaxia and could not be released, and it needed to be renegotiated.

Some movies will be released a year or two years later, and these can be delayed, but some movies will be released globally in two months, which makes Disney a little awkward.

At this moment, Robert heard the news from the other side of the ocean again. There was a problem with the super-big project promoted by the company, but the project was located in the same place as a director who was hostile to Disney. This is intriguing.

Robert Iger's years of experience in the workplace made him smell something ominous.

"Okay, I know what happened, wait for my order."
