[I pity myself and lament the autumn colors. Who will pity me in the future? Tomorrow I will go with the wind, fearing that no one will know me. - Excerpt from Qiu Meng Yin]
Alexander's voice suddenly sounded: "Mr. Ye, you are not kind. We are in a cooperative relationship now. You are directly driving a wedge between the staff of our company. Is this a plan to poach people?"
Alexander is a person of high status in Universal, and he is not an ordinary cunning person. In fact, at Alexander's level, no one is a real person, otherwise he would have been eaten up by the entertainment industry and not even a bit of scum would be left.
At this time, no matter what happened, Alexander would not easily watch Ye Ming alienate people in his company under his nose. Ye Ming did not change at all, he was still as lazy as ever.
With an expression on his face, he said with a smile: "Alexander, don't you have any confidence in your company?
There is an old saying in China that good birds choose trees to roost in. If this means that what you Global is doing is authentic, then you don’t need to care about my estrangement at all."
Alexander was actually quite surprised by this guy. He was exposed to his face, but Ye Ming actually didn't blush and his heart didn't beat. This is not the psychological quality of ordinary people.
On the contrary, Morgan took over and said: "You two, what you are saying is as if I am leaving Universal soon. Should I do what I say?"
It is natural to show loyalty at this time. Even if Morgan is indeed not satisfied with Universal's treatment, at this time, if he does not show loyalty, Alexander will definitely be wearing his own shoes when he comes to the company.
Yes, I guess I really won’t be able to survive in Universal by then.
Although Universal is indeed not very kind to itself, as for the problem, it is not a problem that you can easily change. In the entire Hollywood entertainment industry, unless you are at the top, it can be said that screenwriters make the most money.
A difficult industry.
Of course, if you are marked as a screenwriter and get to that point, you can make a lot of money, but before that, you should be more honest. You know, in Hollywood, there are many directors who themselves are
Screenwriter, therefore, in this place, a screenwriter's chance of survival is much more difficult than that of an actor.
Actors can play small roles, just like Michelle. Although it is difficult to find supporting actresses, but no matter what, if you play small roles, you can still make a living by finding a few supporting roles.
Although as far as one's dream of becoming a star is concerned, in such a thing, it is indeed not very possible to realize one's dream by playing a small role, but no matter what it is, at this time, as long as the actor shows off his face and plays a small role, basically
There is no problem in having enough food and clothing.
Of course, the premise is that there are no big names in the entertainment industry who block you. For example, Vin Diesel was banned. Therefore, before joining the Fast and Furious crew, it was quite difficult.
But generally speaking, screenwriters are not as easy to get along with as actors. Being able to get in touch with some higher-level people in the entertainment industry at Universal will still be of certain benefit to your future. Although the salary is not good enough, it is not the best.
Poor. Therefore, Morgan didn't want to lose his job just because of one or two jokes.
Now that Alexander realized what Ye Ming's purpose was, he immediately patted Morgan on the shoulder and said: "Don't be discouraged, young man, difficulties are temporary, gold will always shine, and the company will give you a chance when the time comes.
, if you are able to make this movie well, I promise to ask the manager to give you more opportunities to show your talents."
Regardless of whether Ye Ming is deliberately wooing Morgan, this incident made Alexander see a little bit of danger. Therefore, he directly promised Morgan benefits, as long as he said that you work hard, in the future, the company will
It will give you a chance to show your talents.
Morgan naturally vowed that he would do such a thing well and live up to the expectations of his leader at this time.
Although Alexander is not Morgan's direct leader, he is a leader after all. He can talk to his leader. Therefore, whether it is hypocritical or not, but whether it is stated, at this time, there is actually more to come.
Speaking of which, Morgan always has to express his position.
Rob Cohen said with a smile: "What are you doing? Our crew is a very united crew. Therefore, on such a thing, uniting to make this movie a success is what everyone needs."
It’s all about you. Morgan, don’t worry, the crew will give you a chance to show off your talent when the time comes.”
At this time, Rob Cohen naturally understood whose position he had to stand. It would be crazy not to be consistent with Alexander at such a time. Morgan was also honored to say: "Don't worry, director, I will do my best to do my best."
Go ahead and do something like this well.
At this time, I also hope that this movie will have good enough results. I have a hunch that our box office will surprise many people." Alexander invited Ye Ming to go out for a walk, saying that he was inviting Ye Ming to drink coffee.
, but Rob Cohen and Morgan have no intention of following.
Drinking coffee, it’s not a good idea for Alexander to go somewhere to drink coffee. He must go to Ye Ming to drink coffee.
Therefore, at this time, Rob Cohen and Morgan knew very well that Alexander had something to do with Ye Ming. Otherwise, according to Alexander's current character, in such a matter, at this time, he was
I don’t want to stay on the set for a second longer.
Therefore, Rob Cohen and Morgan were very wise and did not follow the past. If they did, it would definitely be annoying in such a matter.
After Ye Ming came out, he said calmly: "Alexander, let's stop playing this charlatan between us. Give me something practical. If you have anything to do with me, is Universal responsible for advertising fees?"
Do you have any opinions on the matter?"
At this time, it was Alexander who became curious: "Mr. Ye, sometimes I wonder if you have spies in our company. You know some things about our company very well.
But what you said is correct. The crew of The Fast and the Furious is indeed not favored by Universal, so our company doesn’t attach much importance to this movie. But you and Madoff are willing to invest money, and whether they make money or not,
We also put it first. But in a situation like this, in fact, on this point, with so much advertising money, if I say that we are not jealous, would you believe it?"
Ye Ming shrugged his shoulders and said: "Why are spies not spies? Do we use spies for these things? How much investment does our crew have? How much advertising fees are there now? If it is said that your company is not jealous, that is a strange thing.
Woolen cloth.
Therefore, regarding a question like this, there are actually some things that are very simple, more than 20 million. If it were me, I would be jealous of the woman. I have long known that Universal would be interested in this money.
Idea.
In fact, if it were me, I would definitely blush when asked a question like this. This is absolutely a matter of course. What I am thinking about is not whether you will come, but whether you will come or not.
One question is, when will you come back."
Ye Ming actually knew about these advertising fees, and he was very clear in his heart. It would be strange if Universal was not jealous. Sometimes, there are people who file lawsuits for hundreds of thousands, but these tens of millions are not jealous?
Do you think Universal Company is a charity? Alexander said with a smile: "Actually, it's almost like this. There are indeed directors in our company who are quite concerned about such a sum of money.
Of course, if there is a contract, it should be calculated as it should be. What our company means is whether this money can be used. Of course, it is borrowed by our company. Recently, the company has opened several
Movies, therefore, in some places, the cost of nine is quite tight. At this time, some directors mean that since there is so much money in the crew's account, you should lend it out a little first. Wait until the company is rich in the future, and then change it.
Just give it back to you."
If you want to leave directly, then on such a matter, in fact, even Alexander is not very optimistic about such an issue. Ye Ming is not an easy person to provoke, like this
A person who controls Huihui.com, controls Huihui Film and Television, and has litigated with this person and that person, and has never bowed his head again.
Therefore, for people like Ye Ming, it is most straightforward to act in accordance with the contract. If it is said that they do not act in accordance with the contract, then there is no need to think about such a matter at all.
Therefore, at this time, it would be most appropriate for the money to be withdrawn in the name of borrowing. But in this matter, Alexander and the directors of Universal underestimated Ye Ming's persistence.
When Alexander said these things, Ye Ming refused directly and said: "This matter is impossible, absolutely impossible. We already have a contract as an agreement on such an issue. How can we do it?"
I am not a three-year-old kid, so please understand. Mr. Alexander, Universal is a big company, not a small company, but one of the eight largest companies in Hollywood.
Almost as long as Hollywood has existed, Universal has been a big film company. You actually have the nerve to say this, can you borrow it? We at Huihuang.com can also borrow it. Madoff said he was short of money and could borrow it.
Two flowers? If it is really like this situation at that time, then what are we still playing? We can just disband."
Rules, what are rules? It is an agreement that everyone must abide by. If there are books on this matter and someone wants to break the rules, then Ye Ming will definitely not agree to this anyway. Even for this company
The same goes for Universal, which must be resolutely rejected.
Who knows, at this time, Alexander was not surprised at all. He shrugged and said: "I have actually discussed this issue with the people on the board of directors. This is almost impossible. Mr. Ye, you will not agree to this.
thing, but their guys didn't listen, thinking that there was an opportunity to take advantage of this matter. As expected, I said that you would not agree. Moreover, Madoff also agreed to this matter, and I
If you object unilaterally, that may not be possible."
A look of astonishment flashed in Ye Ming's eyes and he said: "Madoff actually agreed. That's not right. This man is very smart. If you want to take advantage of him, it is almost impossible. He
Will you agree to use the crew’s advertising fees?”
A person like Madoff is definitely a very shrewd financial expert. He created such a powerful Ponzi scheme. This is not something ordinary people can do. Moreover, Madoff was able to persist for so many years.
Being discovered is not something ordinary people can do.
Therefore, it is almost difficult to take advantage of such a person. Alexander immediately said: "You don't know this. Although Madoff is a very stubborn person, many people are
I think so, but Universal has a director who has a very good relationship with Madoff. Therefore, if he comes forward to talk to Madoff, everything will be no problem. Now it depends on your attitude.
, I think it’s better if you don’t object.”
Of the three investors, two are already willing. This matter seems to be relatively difficult to handle. But Ye Ming snorted very firmly and said: "You don't have to say it like this, I don't agree.
, but I think Madoff probably got some benefit from that director. Otherwise, according to this guy's character, he would never agree.
But all this is of no use. The decision-making power on this matter belongs to me, doesn’t it? That’s how it is. According to the contract, you have the right to supervise the crew, but you cannot interfere in other matters of the crew. I
If you don't sign, none of you will be able to take out a penny from the crew. I can't stop the crew's own expenses, but if you want to take out the crew's money, I definitely have the right to stop it, otherwise
, then you go to the bank and try to see if the bank will give you the money."
Ye Ming knew that Hollywood was not easy to mess with, so when he agreed to invest in the crew, he had already noticed this result. He asked for a lot of rights from the crew, such as how much money the crew spent on themselves. As long as it was reasonable, these
Ye Ming had no way to refuse, but if it was said that someone took money or borrowed money from the crew and Ye Ming did not agree, then these would be impossible.
