Great Power Reclamation

Chapter 2340 Reforming Hollywood

After Henglu Jinger finished kowtowing, Ye Yuze glanced around, and finally his eyes fell on Lao Honda:

"This is my apprentice, Ye Yuze. If anyone dares to hurt him, I will make him bankrupt and live on the streets!"

Lao Honda was stunned for a moment, and then became angry. This kid is so courageous that he goes to someone's house and threatens them.

Just when he met Ye Yuze's eyes, he suddenly trembled for no reason. Those eyes were like deep pools, which made him feel afraid. Feeling powerless to fight.

"Don't worry, in-laws, as long as I'm here, no one will dare to take a chance on your apprentice!"

Lao Yanqi's voice sounded. Although Lao Honda dared to compete with him, it was entirely because of his Honda power. That thing was like a warrior engine and could choke many people's necks.

But now it is completely different. The old Honda without Honda power is like a toothless tiger, and it is not at the same level as Lao Yanqi.

Originally, Iwa Mitsubishi was larger than Honda, but the Honda family developed too fast and relied on its leadership in engine technology, so it dared to challenge Mitsubishi.

It's just that Lao Yanqi is already very high-spirited at this moment, so what if Honda is powerful? It was already the property of his in-laws, and with the Warrior car engine, who else was he afraid of?

Lao Honda looked at Lao Yanqi fiercely, as if he wanted to kill someone.

"As fellow islanders, Honda Power has been robbed by others. Are you really so happy?"

Lao Honda's words are a bit heart-wrenching and full of provocation. Once the answer is not good and it rises to the emotional level, it will naturally have some very negative effects on Lao Yanqi and Mitsubishi.

But how could Lao Yanqi have achieved his current status in vain? I saw him smile slightly:

"A person with evil intentions always wants to steal something from others, but he often shoots himself in the foot. It's better to be down-to-earth!"

The spotlight clicked, and his words clearly resonated with the reporters.

Human beings are like this. No matter how dirty their inner and private behavior is, they always like to use some gorgeous words to dress themselves up in front of others.

I am reminded of a sentence in Wang Guozhen's poem: "The human heart, no matter what kind of clothes you wear, will never be too beautiful."

Lao Honda didn't say anything anymore. The reporters' reactions said it all. He had lost the most important part of the industry. If he continued to work with Lao Yanqi and Ye Yuze as a strong support, he might really be doomed.

Shaking his head, he left, looking very lonely. His behavior had caused huge losses to the company. Even a family business needs to give an explanation to others.

At the very least, most of his shares will be deprived of him, and the part left for him to maintain his life will be considered good.

This generation of heroes has come to an end and will be lost to this world.

Junichiro Honda, who was following behind him, felt like he was mourning his concubine. He was still young and did not have the prestige and capital of Honda. It is estimated that becoming a wage earner was his only way out.

Seeing all this, Henglu Jing'er burst into tears and kowtowed to Ye Yuze a few more times.

If I was forced to kowtow just now, then now I feel grateful from the bottom of my heart. He may not die, although his identity has changed from a boss to a wage earner, but what does it matter?

For the first time in his life, he felt that it was great to be alive.

After the matter is over, Ye Yuze and the others are about to return home. This is the request of the middle-aged man in black, and this is naturally not his request.

Ye Yuze was very obedient. Firstly, this matter was indeed a bit big. Secondly, he felt the warmth from home.

A passport is a document, and the place where this document is issued is your home...

As for receiving power from Honda, people from the Warrior Engine Factory naturally took care of it. Although it was Ye Yuze's sole proprietorship, there was no way to separate it from the Warrior Engine Group.

Tian Qing stared blankly at the phone in his hand. Until now, he still didn't believe that Honda Power had become a branch of Warrior Engine Group.

They have been competitors for many years. Although the warrior engine is the latecomer, it is only in the research and development of automobile engines. As for other things, it is really inferior to others.

This time, compared to the Warrior engine, there is another big leap forward, right?

Ye Kailin was even more excited than him. After learning the news, she was the first to rush into Tian Qing's office and asked to go to the island country to take over the company in person.

Tian Qing disagreed at first, but he couldn't defeat her. No one could do anything about this German woman's stubbornness, and besides, she was still the daughter-in-law of the Ye family.

On the plane, the middle-aged man in black looked at Ye Yuze with admiration. At first, he was extremely dissatisfied with the task assigned to them to protect a businessman.

But after understanding the whole story, he was completely shocked, not because of Ye Yuze's strength, but because of the follow-up of the matter.

A Chinese kung fu gym and a power company were born in this island country. The significance and subsequent impact of this kind of thing can be easily imagined.

If businessmen are like this, even if they use their lives to protect, so what?

Originally, Ye Yuze and the others were planning to return to Boston this time, but because of this incident, they had to return to the capital for a while.

Ye Feng was also on the plane, watching his father with mixed emotions. Compared with his father, he was much more diligent, but this lazy father could always turn the situation around unexpectedly at critical moments.

He has always been thinking, what is the gap between him and his father? But I never figured it out.

But after this incident, he seemed to realize that his father had his own beliefs, and he only pursued interests in doing things. But so far, what is the use of beliefs?

When they arrived at the airport, a special car took Ye Yuze and his party home. No one came out to meet them. In fact, Ye Yuze didn't want that either.

At this level, every move has already been noticed. There is no need to teach or promise anything anymore. It is tacit.

The filming of Ye Mao's crew went smoothly. Although Lao Mouzi became the full director, having Laura was even more powerful.

Lao Mouzi actually had to admire that although the film and television industry relied on actors, shooting technology and equipment were also critical.

And Laura knows these things very well. They even made a movie using the original characters, imitating the plot of "Havoc in Heaven". If the 3D technology used is effective, they are going to make a few more movies.

Anyway, the crew needs to shoot for a long time, and movies are like side jobs. They can increase income without increasing costs much.

At this time, Yuanfang was struggling alone in Hollywood. There were actually many great film and television directors and famous actors among her brothers, but no shocking works had been released in the past few years.

The film and television industry relies entirely on box office and ratings. In fact, these people are used to making big productions and look down on those too ordinary works, so they turned the company into this.

Yuanfang comes from a grassroots background and worked her way up step by step from a low-level actor. She naturally knows how to run a company. She has never cared much about star power, although she has also made some people famous. But she never tied the company's development to these people.

After all, human nature is greedy. Once these people are praised too highly, it is inevitable that their achievements will shock the master.

Things like being a big name and asking for treatment will happen endlessly. If you are weak, you, a company boss, will have to hang around others.

Yuanfang is determined not to tolerate these people. She values ​​the company's interests above all else.

Because after taking charge of the company, I just got a little familiar with the situation and decisively terminated the contracts with several famous directors and actors.

It's not that she went to be expelled, but because the few notebooks they saved were never approved. They left in a hurry, just because they were afraid that they would have to pay liquidated damages if they broke the contract, so they just felt weird all day long.

After Yuanfang took over, he personally reviewed these scripts and rejected them resolutely. It's all fucking fake and empty, with no content at all. It relies solely on famous actors and big productions to create gimmicks, which means it may bluff people at first.

But today's audiences are different from those in the past. Once they enter the theater and understand what's going on, they will immediately complain.

Today's Internet is so developed that once public opinion is stirred up, no one will read it immediately. She Yuanfang was not taken advantage of.

So she discussed it directly with these people and terminated the contract amicably without any penalty. The company would still have some expenses left.

Her behavior caused an uproar in Hollywood. After all, famous directors and stars are the lifeblood of every company. Isn't she destroying the Great Wall? This has always been a Hollywood tradition.

For this reason, many media called and even blocked the door to interview her. They were all rejected by Yuanfang, which only stirred up a hornet's nest.

In the same industry, the media all spoke out to denigrate Brother Film and Television, and unanimously condemned this Chinese woman for completely ruining the Fox Entertainment created by Murdoch.

After Yuanfang was silent for a while, she finally held a press conference. Her attitude was very clear.

The film and television industry is for the common people to watch, and most of the stories it depicts are ordinary people's stories. This will attract attention.

And those big productions are just for the filmmakers themselves, and they are not easy to resonate with ordinary people.

Therefore, in the future, Brother Film and Television will reduce the number of high-cost commercial film shootings and shift its focus to aspects that are close to life and reality.

Her words were undoubtedly another bombshell, which confused everyone in the circle. This woman is really fucking crazy. Isn't this self-destruction of the Great Wall?

You must know that today's movies are no longer art, but a commodity that relies on special effects and gimmicks to attract audiences. Coupled with the massive amount of advertising funds thrown out.

No matter whether the movie is good or not, it will be bombarded before it is released so that everyone does not know about it. This is called brainwashing.

Therefore, once the movie is released, the box office revenue will not be bad at the beginning, but if it is really good or fake, the effect will be seen after three days.

The box office was cut in half, dropped off a cliff, and was finally forcibly removed from the theaters. This fate has become the norm.

The key is how much you lose has little to do with the director and the actors. It doesn't matter if you get a penny less than you should. At most, you won't get any share.

Therefore, they are still obsessed with big productions. After all, the pay is also high. As long as it is a hit, the money they get will be enough for them to earn for several years.

As for how much the film and television company will pay? Have anything to do with them?

Yuanfang's actions undoubtedly touched their interests. After Yuanfang terminated the contract with the first group of actors and directors, the second group of people began to talk to her about terminating the contract.

I thought Yuanfang would be threatened. After all, if another batch left, Brother Film and Television would be almost empty. What value could such a company have?

The values ​​of Hollywood are people like them. Whichever company has more of them will be stronger. At the beginning, Mercado spent a lot of money to recruit them and has been supporting them.

Unexpectedly, Yuanfang was not Mercado. When she heard that someone wanted to terminate the contract, she immediately received them with a smile.

The first sentence is: "Thank you for your understanding of the company's difficulties and taking the initiative to reduce my burden. We have waived breach of contract fees and the like. We will cooperate again if we have the opportunity in the future."

Yuanfang holds a dozen termination agreements in her hand, which will take effect immediately as long as she signs them.

At this time, most people hesitated. There is nothing wrong with them being famous, but there is no shortage of these people in Hollywood.

Once the contract is terminated, they will sign with a new company. But there are really not many people who left in the previous batch who have joined the new company.

To be honest, their treatment here is very good. You may not get this treatment at another company, unless the ones who are particularly popular are really top-tier.

It's just that the film and television market has begun to slump in recent years, and these big names have become a burden to the company. The film and television market is sluggish, so we can only rely on business activities to make money.

Such as endorsements, participating in variety shows, filming commercials, etc. It's just that those are too piecemeal. Not much money either.

Seeing them starting to hesitate, Yuanfang suddenly became unhappy and said coldly:

"The next step is for me to reduce my remuneration and increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Your income will definitely be greatly reduced. Now that we are leaving, we can get together and part ways."

How could there be a few hot tempered people who could stand Yuanfang's attitude? I signed the agreement and left.

But most people still adopt a wait-and-see attitude and are still prepared to wait and see. After all, the new boss is easy to talk to and saves money without losing money.

After these people left, Yuanfang immediately started her plan. Hollywood has never lacked good scripts, it's just that its living space has been squeezed by those blockbusters.

She selected ten films at once and started filming, most of which were life films and literary films. And decisively reduced the salaries of stars and directors.

Doing this is not actually a breach of contract. After all, the company signed them and gave them an annual salary. Even if they were allowed to film for free, it would not be a big deal.

As a result, those who didn't leave were completely disappointed. They approached Yuanfang to talk about terminating the contract, but Yuanfang refused.

In one sentence: "You can terminate the contract, but you must pay liquidated damages. If you don't pay, just make a good film and wait until the contract expires."

No matter how awesome these people are, they are bound by the contract and must be obedient. If they act like a big name, Yuanfang will punish them immediately without mercy.

For a while, these people complained endlessly, but there was nothing they could do.
