Jefferson would never think that he had been taken advantage of, and he was very angry at the sympathetic looks in his eyes from the two partners.
"You take it for granted. Do you think the other party is targeting our company just because Barbara showed her love to him on TV and it can be solved easily? Would the other party be so boring?"
Jefferson stared at the two people and said: "There is no way I can agree to the one million dollar bonus given to Barbara. You are completely wrong. There is no way she can really convince the other party. But because I will give 10%
The shares were transferred to that damn Datang man, and he gave us the solution through Barbara."
Brown was also a little angry and said: "Jason, you take it too much for granted. This is originally due to Barbara. She used the honey trap and made certain sacrifices. In the future, only she can win over this great man."
The virus maker. If she hadn’t been able to appease this person, she would definitely have been threatened by this person’s virus in the future. Therefore, we must give this million dollar bonus. What’s more, we have already promised in advance and we must fulfill our commitments.
"
"You are too hasty. This is one million dollars, not a small amount." Jefferson expressed dissatisfaction.
Murphy frowned and said: "We have previously issued a reward of two million US dollars on the Internet. In comparison, one million US dollars can solve the problem this time, which is already very economical. Not to mention, now our stock price has begun to rise.
You should know what this means."
Brown said with a cold face: "Jason, although you are the CEO of the company, you must respect the opinions of both of us. You cannot insist on doing everything. Including your own decision to sell your shares this time. Without prior notice
Notify us that this is very disrespectful behavior on our part. I hope this will be the last time. After all, we are partners, and Murphy and I are both co-founders of the company."
Murphy also nodded seriously, agreeing with Brown's words.
Jefferson was originally a very conceited and arbitrary person, but that was when the company was booming. He had absolute decision-making power at the shareholders' meeting, but this time it can be said that the company's affairs were messed up. He, the first
The chief executive obviously has a great responsibility. Other shareholders of the company may not trust him anymore.
The combined shares of Murphy and Brown in the company are no less than his.
Therefore, Jefferson could only endure it. He knew that he had made a great sacrifice for the benefit of the company this time. Forget it that the two of them did not appreciate it, they actually dared to question the personal sacrifice he had made. This was really disappointing.
Jefferson felt bad.
"Okay. I agree to the million-dollar bonus. But I personally still have reservations about Barbara's ability to solve this virus crisis. Because I am very convinced that the Tang Dynasty man Chen Feng is responsible for this virus.
The culprit behind the incident. He was able to resolve this virus crisis only because I transferred 10% of my shares to him."
Jefferson couldn't help but emphasize his contribution again.
Murphy and Brown looked at each other again. Brown looked at Jefferson sympathetically and said, "Jason, if you insist, I agree with you. That Tang man may really be the culprit behind the scenes. However,
Regarding the transfer of 10% of the shares, I think you should want to write a report and submit it to the shareholders’ meeting for review.”
Jefferson frowned and said: "The contract has been signed. And this is only my personal share transfer, and the other party does not require participation in any management or voting of our company. It only has the right to dividends. I have absolutely no influence on our company.
I will send out an announcement in the next two days. There is no need to write a report or anything like that."
Murphy said: "If you insist, of course we respect your opinion, but I still think your share transfer is too hasty this time."
Jefferson suddenly felt heartbroken, knowing that neither of them believed him.
"Okay, okay. If you don't believe it, forget it. I just know it myself. Do you have anything else? If not, just let me be quiet for a while."
"It's nothing. We came here originally to share the good news with you, but it turned out like this." Brown shrugged helplessly at Jefferson, then gave Murphy a wink, and the two quickly exited.
Gone to the room.
Jefferson suppressed his anger several times, but finally couldn't suppress it. He picked up the tea cup he was sitting on and threw it to the ground. It broke into a large piece.
He has always had a smooth life since he was a child. He never expected to encounter something like this that made him feel so useless and frustrated. Especially his two partners didn't believe him or what he had done.
Self-sacrifice made him feel deeply helpless and aggrieved.
He is now on the defensive against Chen Feng, and he does not dare to retaliate against him at all, so as not to suffer another virus crisis. He knows that Chen Feng has such powerful hacking methods, whether it is himself or the person he is looking for, let him go this time
The company does not mean that it will not be able to do it again next time.
Unless Jefferson gives up his company, he can only be held by Chen Feng like a gun, daring not to move or retaliate.
"This damn Tang Dynasty!"
In the end, Jefferson could only yell and insult Chen Feng in his heart, and could not carry out any actual revenge against him in reality.
Of course, Chen Feng soon learned the news that the Picboo virus crisis was over and the stock price had risen sharply. At this moment, he saw that stocks worth hundreds of millions of dollars were born in his hands.
Chen Feng is not greedy. He plans to sell his 10% stake when Picboo's market value reaches almost 10 billion U.S. dollars. By then, he will be able to get more than 1 billion U.S. dollars.
Chen Feng believes that this time will not be long, it will only take two or three years at most. Chen Feng believes in the development potential of Picboo and also believes in the leadership ability of Jefferson, a rich and handsome man.
In the next few days, Chen Feng concentrated on preparing for the "Prada" film crew and the production of Tina's first album.
The focus of the work is still the preparation of the film. In fact, he, the boss, does not need to do the specific matters himself. Chen Feng basically leaves it to Laurent and Lisa. Chen Feng mainly controls the two aspects of the director and cinematographer.
MGM initially recommended two senior directors to him, but neither received his approval. It was not until the third one that they passed Chen Feng's assessment.
Chen Feng now has the skills to be a director. During the interview, he chatted with the other party about professional matters, as well as some director’s experience and skills. The third director Holdman was able to communicate with him very well. More importantly,
Yes, the other party’s understanding of the movie is not much different from his. Moreover, they are not against shooting the movie according to the shots he gave.
As for the photographer, he was hired by Tre Laurent, who is a friend of his and is somewhat famous in the industry. He has won several international photography awards before. After a brief interview, Chen Feng took a general look at him.
Several movies I shot before were approved.
After the director and cinematographer were confirmed, other members of the crew gathered quickly. Basically, these two people could help complete the set-up quickly.
Chen Feng happily allocated 10 million US dollars to the crew as early start-up capital.
What I have to say here is that as a luxury brand, Prada provided a lot of free clothes, shoes, hats and other luxury goods to the crew this time. This was mainly for the sake of Meryl and MGM. Of course, the other party was so
There is not much loss in doing so. Because these luxuries are only provided for free and have to be returned after the movie is finished.
More importantly, this movie is like free advertising for them. Therefore, the crew only charges them a sponsorship fee of one million US dollars, which is really very small.
In addition, there are other luxury goods such as clothes, shoes, hats, bags, etc. that are provided free of charge for the crew to use. Some of them are also sponsored to some extent, ranging from the lowest of 100,000 US dollars to 500,000 US dollars.
Of course, the movie also gives them a certain amount of time for product placement.
Previously, the crew's preparatory work was mainly in this aspect. Chen Feng gave Lisa full responsibility for this aspect. Judging from the results, she did a relatively good job.
In this way, ten days after Chen Feng arrived in Los Angeles, the crew of "Prada" was officially established and a start-up ceremony was held. Holdman and Trauren also held a special press conference for the film's launch.
Relevant news was published in some local media. This was mainly due to the fact that MGM was an investor in the film and the reputation of Meryl, a Hollywood A-list actress. Otherwise, even some tabloids would not have published such news.
Because this is Hollywood, and there are countless movies being shot every day. How can these newspapers have so much space to report on it?
Immediately after the launch conference, the film was shot in a rented high-end office building. As a producer, Chen Feng was on site throughout the entire process. His main purpose was not to worry about Holdman's directing skills, but to worry about Miranda
's acting skills.
Although Miranda and Emily have been reciting lines to each other at home these days and rehearsed many times, when the filming of the movie officially started, it was obvious that she was still a little uncomfortable and could not devote herself well.
Therefore, at the beginning of the first act, she had sex several times. In the end, it was Chen Feng who personally sorted out her emotions, told her the story, let her act in her true colors, and let her completely assume the role.
Passed the filming of the first scene.
Fortunately, everyone in the crew basically knew that Miranda was the girlfriend of Chen Feng, the producer, largest investor, and screenwriter. Otherwise, not only would the director be furious, but other crew members would also complain behind his back, and possibly
Some people may even think of squeezing her away.
This is the benefit of having a rich and powerful boyfriend. Miranda had not felt it deeply before, but this time she was filming on the crew, she felt it deeply. In her previous film debut, even though the director was her distant cousin
, but in fact, other people in the crew are not very friendly to her, a pure newcomer. Even several of the supporting actresses are ostracizing her, squeezing her out, and thinking of replacing her.
But now in the "Prada" crew, there is no such thing at all. Everyone's attitude towards her is very kind and enthusiastic. Even though she was ng many times in the opening scene, Director Holdman still treated her very well.
He had a pleasant appearance and gave her enough patience.
But Holdman didn't have such a good face when facing other actors. Although he didn't curse, he still spoke sarcastically and mockingly, which made the supporting characters unable to lift their heads.
This is an obvious differential treatment, but no one will think there is anything wrong. Because Miranda is the girlfriend of Chen Feng, the financial backer and the real controller of the crew.
Fortunately, Miranda was up to par. After the initial discomfort and constant irritation, it only took two days for her to become more and more accustomed to the role of her true self, and even slowly began to feel like a fish in water. During filming, she seemed
It's very natural. Because this character is her prototype. All she has to do in the movie is be herself.
Therefore, most of the people in the crew who originally joked and ridiculed her slowly shut their mouths. After all, Miranda has shown enough "strength" to be convincing.
And Miranda did not fall behind when she acted opposite Meryl, the Hollywood actress, and even made people look up to her. Meryl, the actress, also sincerely praised her for her spirituality. This made people look up to her.
Miranda was happy for several days.
On this day, Chen Feng and Miranda returned home to the villa after a day of filming, and received a call from Jia Yong from China, informing him of the box office results of "Charlotte" released yesterday.
It's nine o'clock in the evening here in Los Angeles, and six o'clock in the morning in China. Yesterday, January 29, "Charlotte" and "The Eight-Story Demon Tower" were released on the same day.
After a day of fighting, the national box office on the morning of the 30th was also calculated.
"Charlotte" accounted for 32.4% of the film queues in theaters nationwide and earned a box office of 130 million. The Eight-Story Demon Tower accounted for 35.5% of the film queues in theaters nationwide and earned a box office of 160 million.
.
The box office of both movies exceeded RMB 100 million on the same day, which is quite impressive. There were not many movies that exceeded RMB 100 million in a single day in the past, but there were not many.
This also fully explains the popularity of Spring Festival movies. Because the whole country is on holiday, everyone has time and money to go to cinemas to watch movies. Especially young people.
As for the box office on the first day, "Eight-Story Demon Tower" obviously took the lead, but considering the amount of films the other film has scheduled, this advantage is not very obvious.
The ratings on Wandou.com are completely one-sided. "Charlotte" received more than 50,000 ratings, with a total score of 9.2. On the contrary, "Eight-Story Demon Tower" received more than 40,000 ratings.
The result was only a measly 7.5 points.
As the number of people who rate it increases in the future, the rating of "Eight-Story Demon Tower" will definitely exceed 7, and it can only be regarded as an average-level work.
"Liu Gan and I both went to see "Eight-Storey Demon Tower". The special effects were very good, but the story content was very empty and not very exciting. The acting skills and tacit understanding between the actors were also uneven.
Anyway, we didn’t think it looked good. On the contrary, our "Charlotte" audience laughed from beginning to end. So, we have a great chance of winning this time."
