Deborah got up very early today.After taking care of Tan Jiabao's daily diet, she ate a little indiscriminately, and then began to hide in her room and dress up.

After returning from the movie theater last night, Tan Jiabao gave her a task, which is to ask her to act as Tan Xiaozhong's secretary today, and go with Tan Xiaozhong to discuss with Warner Brothers boss Jack Warner about the acquisition of Warner Brothers.

She is very happy.Tan Jiabao finally assigned her a task. Although Tan Jiabao repeatedly emphasized that she was only going to act as a temporary secretary to save Tan Xiaozhong's face, he said that sometimes face is very important in shopping malls, and it can often play a very important role, especially It is the occasion of this kind of negotiation.She knew that she was just playing the role of a "vase" this time, but she was still happy.Because Tan Jiabao let her participate in such an important acquisition after all.

She had never been a secretary before, so Tan Jiabao trained her unexpectedly last night.

Now she puts on a royal blue women's suit and skirt, puts her hair up, puts on light makeup, and puts on high-heeled shoes, so a dignified and beautiful professional woman appears in the big mirror, she is satisfied Extremely.

She walked to Tan Jiabao's room, where Tan Jiabao and Tan Xiaozhong were having breakfast.She smiled and said, "Good morning, President! Look at me, am I dressed like a qualified secretary?"

She secretly saw the light in Tan Jiabao's eyes, and Tan Xiaozhong laughed and said, "Haha, look, once we get dressed up, we don't look like a wild girl at all?"

Deborah pretended to be angry and said, "Oh! President, I protest! Are you praising me or criticizing me?"

Tan Xiaozhong and Tan Jiabao looked at each other, and then burst out laughing!

Deborah blushed, stomped her feet and said, "Hmph! I'll ignore you." Then, she ran out shyly.

*********

It was exactly nine o'clock when the two of them arrived at the Warner Bros. headquarters.

They strode inside when a security guard blocked them.

"Excuse me, sir, miss, do you need help with anything?" The security guard asked them politely.

Deborah, who was acting as the secretary, smiled and said: "We are here to discuss important matters with Mr. Jack Warner, please go and report."

"Excuse me, miss, do you have an appointment with our chairman, Mr. Jack Warner?" The security guard looked businesslike.

"We don't have an appointment, but our business is indeed very important!" Deborah put away her smile, and said solemnly and proudly: "Go and tell Mr. Jack Warner now that Mr. Tan Xiaozhong, the president of our Tang Dynasty Company, is now paying a visit in person. , if you have important matters to discuss, let him see you or not!"

Due to the tight schedule, they don't have time to follow the normal procedure step by step, and they arrived today by appointment.

The security guard was overwhelmed by their appearance and momentum, and he quickly said: "Okay, Mr. Tan, wait a moment, please sit here for a while, and I will report right away."

After a while, the security guard smiled politely and said, "Mr. Tan and this lady, our boss invites you to go up and wait for you in the chairman's office on the eighth floor! The elevator is here, please..."

At the elevator entrance on the eighth floor, a capable old man in his 70s greeted him there.Seeing the elevator door open, he came forward to hold Tan Xiaozhong's hand in a friendly way and said, "Oh, you must be Mr. Tan Xiaozhong, the president of Tangchao Entertainment Company. My name is Jack Warner. Call me Jack. Oh, there is another person like this Beautiful oriental beauties, welcome! Welcome to Warner, both of you!"

"It's so difficult for you Warner Company to enter." Deborah muttered.

"Oh, this beautiful lady, I really misunderstood just now!" Jack Warner came to shake Deborah's hand again, Deborah touched him lightly, and immediately let go.

Jack Warner shrugged and said, "Please come in, both of you, let's talk slowly inside."

After the three sat down, Jack Warner said: "I heard that your "Run Lola Run" was only filmed for three days? But the effect is so good, it's rare! I have to admire Mr. Tang Xiao's talent! "

Tan Xiaozhong smiled slightly and said: "Yes, it was indeed three days of filming, plus post-production, a total of five days. Paramount's Robert Evans also made a lot of effort. With his wrist, he found It's rare to see so many top Hollywood stars here."

Jack Warner nodded and said, "Last night, "Run Lola Run" had its premiere in New York, and I was invited to watch it. Hehe, that scene was so exciting. It makes people envious."

Tan Xiaozhong also casually said: "Actually, Warner Bros. also has many classic works. For example, I have watched "The Spy of North Africa" ​​three times. Also, I have also watched your = movie "House of Wax Museum". That = the scene was stunned, and I still remember that scene vividly."

Mentioning the movie, Jack Warner became interested, he said: "Yes, according to the conditions at that time and now, it is not easy to make a movie. I remember that we encountered a lot of resistance at that time, that is, within our company There were also many voices of opposition, but I tried my best to make the film "House of Wax Museum of Horror". As a result, "House of Wax Museum of Horror" was a huge success. It was screened in the United States for more than 40 days and received rave reviews... "

As he talked, he felt as if he was intoxicated with himself, and then he stopped the topic and sighed: "Hey, since the 50s, Hollywood movies have begun to slump, and our situation can't be compared with Warner's glorious era. Compared. But you foreigners are impressive. But, I don’t understand one question, that is, I watched "Run Lola Run" and felt that the investment in this movie is not big. What about cooperative filming? As this kind of small production film, many small companies in the United States can shoot independently. Didn’t you acquire United Artists? United Artists can also shoot.”

Tan Xiaozhong also sighed and said: "As you know, we are outsiders. Yes, we did acquire United Artists. However, United Artists has no studio, lacks talents in various fields, and lacks theaters, etc. It has seriously restricted our development."

Jack Warner looked at Tan Xiaozhong sympathetically and said, "Can't you start a new film company yourself? You can also buy other small film companies."

Tan Xiaozhong shook his head and said, "It's easier said than done to start a new film company. When it is established, I think I should retire too. As for the acquisition of small and medium-sized film companies, we really have no interest."

Jack Warner finally understood the purpose of Tan Xiaozhong's visit. He said, "Then what Mr. Tan means is that you want to acquire a large film company?"

Tan Xiaozhong nodded firmly and said: "Of course! When you come to the United States, come to Hollywood, or you don't do it, if you want to do it, you have to be the biggest and the best!"
