Paramount Pictures.
As one of the six biggest Hollywood companies, it has so many people working for it every day.
Today, however, Jordan, as paramount's vice president and head of distribution, is really absent-minded.
Why?
Because he was just scolded by the big boss, Samuel leishidong!
"You fool
"I'm really blind. I knew this would be the case today. At the beginning, I said nothing should have allowed you to go to New Zealand."
"Look at what you've done!"
"Vita digital's delicious cake was pried away by Zucker Wald and Rupert Murdoch."
"Did you see the special effects of the movie Lord of the rings? You say, its special effects level is similar to that of paramount's special effects studio. "
"Is it really about the same?"
"Ha ha, we're far behind!"
Summers leishidong is never a good tempered person, on the contrary, his style is also very domineering.
Now, after the trial meeting of Lord of the rings, the film has been a great success. Many cinema representatives and film critics are full of praise for the film, especially for the special effects of the film. They even say: "equal to the industrial light and magic of the overlord of the special effects industry."
Man, industrial light and magic!
Star Wars, Raiders, Titanic, Jurassic Park and other films, the special effects work is completed by industrial light and magic.
It is definitely a peak and benchmark of Hollywood's computer special effects industry, and a good friend of Hollywood's major film companies.
"Vita digital is the only visible and powerful industrial light demon so far, but it doesn't belong to us now, and it won't belong to us in the future!"
"Seven days!"
"In just seven days, Vita digital received more than 20 Hollywood studios at one stroke."
"There are as many as six film companies that have directly finalized their contracts. The total amount of the contract is directly as high as US $80 million. "
"Let the company Miss Vita digital, you Jordan have to bear the main responsibility!"
Lei Shidong fired without taboo.
â......â
Jordan didn't say a word, some of them were autistic, and even felt aggrieved.
You know, in the original acquisition of Vita digital things, he Jordan is a strong support for the high price acquisition. However, Lei Shidong is not willing to pay a high price!
News Corporation, Wall Street investment banks, one of the four day king of venture capital, which one is not competing to offer.
Moreover, a quotation is higher than a quotation.
On the other hand, paramount, one of Hollywood's top six, is very stingy.
"Vita digital is acquired by News Corporation and Zhuke. What's my business?"
Jordan felt very aggrieved and thought, "I'm just responsible for the early contact. I didn't participate in the bidding and negotiation stage at the later stage. But now that something goes wrong, it's all my responsibility?"
Can we not be autistic?!
He is so crooked!
"Now it's just a trial of Lord of the rings," he continued. "You can imagine how popular Vita digital will be after the movie is released in the United States."
Jordan put up with it.
After all, for now, Jordan is still holding the rice bowl given by Lei Shidong.
what?
Do you think that Lei Shidong does not worry about his subordinates' coldness when he abuses them like this?
Lei Shidong is not worried!
Throughout the Viacom group's top management, including paramount and other subsidiary executives, which one has not been scolded by Lei Shidong.
Scold you, prove you still have value;
If you don't scold you, ha ha, you are a piece of stinky shit in other people's eyes, because you don't even have the value of being scolded.
Finally, Lei Shidong scolded and gave a sweet date: "OK, that's all for today. As far as this year is concerned, the Distribution Department under your control has done a good job. When the board of directors is held at the end of the year, I will nominate you to concurrently hold the management position of the head office. "
"Thank you boss, I will continue to work hard!" Jordan's book was a happy moment.
This is Lei Shidong!
Hit a stick, give a sweet date~
He is extremely stingy to his wife and children, and his overall business style is also stingy. However, when he gives corresponding benefits to his senior executives, it can definitely be called "generous".
Moreover, he also dares to recruit new people. As long as you have the ability, even if you are not qualified enough, he dares to promote you to a high position.
That's Jordan!
Within a short period of ten years, he has become a senior vice president and director of distribution of Paramount Pictures, which is the result of Lei Shidong's promotion.
Jordan left.
In such a large office, there was only one person left, Samuel leishidong.
"Ah ~"
At the moment, he could not help sighing: "Vita digital, I missed it!"
Just printed the old saying: if you had known today, why should you have known at the beginning.
......
New line pictures.
Jonathan, vice president, submitted a piece of data: "boss, the news just came from Vita digital."
[more than 20 Hollywood studios visited Vita digital in just seven days
Among them, six film companies signed special effects contracts on the spot
[the total amount involved is up to US $80 million
...
A group of data, exactly show in front of new line film boss Shay.
"Boss, Vita digital is really going to rise this time. I've been watching Peter Jackson these two days, and this old boy is walking with wind."
Vice President Jonathan said sourly.
At the beginning, he strongly suggested that the new line film industry should also join the board!
"Come on, say less jealousy."
Shea's face was calm, not happy or sad: "I said at the time that even if we acquired Vita digital, we couldn't afford it. Although Vita digital has accepted more than US $80 million of orders in a short period of time, they are about to purchase new equipment, recruit more talents and so on, including investment in new technology research and development. "
"In the end, how much money do they have left?"
"In the eyes of people outside the industry, the computer special effects company is very profitable. It's always orders of millions or tens of millions of dollars, but... As people inside our industry, the special effects company is really a money burning machine!"
"Four words are not worth the loss!"
After a pause, he said: "unless Vita digital can grow to the level of light and magic compared with American industry, it will always be a money burning thing."
The voice fell.
Jonathan, the vice president, suddenly realized that all the envy and hatred on his face were gone.
He also doesn't think that Vita digital can grow up to the level of industrial light and magic.
Jonathan left the office.
Suddenly, before the calm, expressionless Xie Yi, his face completely cold down.
"Hum!"
"What a Vita digital!"
"At the beginning, I should have been ruthless and bought it directly!"
"After the release of the Lord of the rings, I'm sure I can make money, but Peter Jackson can also make a lot of money, especially when he has Vita digital in his hands!"
There's some imbalance in Shea's mind.
As a result, he had some immoral ideas.
For example: withholding or defaulting on director Peter Jackson's film remuneration and box office bonus
Even doing some operations on the books.
Don't be surprised. It's definitely not the first time that new line pictures has withheld or defaulted on the salaries of its crew. There is no lack of such operation in other film companies, including Hollywood.
"The second watch" is here. There are votes to vote~
