Exploiting Hollywood 1980

After deciding to make the animated advertisement of the polar bear drinking Coke, Ronald flew back to Los Angeles. Coca-Cola used its own private jet to send him back, and Ronald wanted to buy his own private jet even more.

Darcy Maguire heard the news and immediately flew to Los Angeles to discuss with Ronald. She got special authorization from the general manager of the company and must negotiate the cooperation with Ronald.

The people in these advertising companies on Madison Street were really scared by Ovitz. If multinational companies all imitated Coca-Cola and abandoned their own advertising creativity, the prospects of this industry would become bleak.

"I don't have the idea of ​​opening my own advertising company. How can I have the energy?" Ronald couldn't help laughing when he heard Maguire's idea. How could these people think they would be like Ovitz?

"All our resources can be used by you. Anyway, we are irritated by Ovitz's idea. This person has taken all the food in his own industry, but he wants to steal it from Madison Street..."

"Oh, that's great. I just happen to lack some talents in prototype design. Coca-Cola's polar bear needs to make some improvements to the aesthetics of the 1990s. Can you help?"

"No problem, but we have a request..." Darcy Maguire hopes to establish a solid alliance with Ronald. Big customers like Coca-Cola have astronomical budgets every year, and often have to re-bid after one or two years. Her advertising company wants to sign a long-term contract at one time...

"Okay, but I also have a request. You must be in charge of the polar bear advertising project. I lack leading talents like you..." Ronald also took the opportunity to invite Van Fleet and his friends. They are all technology geeks and need a senior talent in project management and creativity to cooperate.

It is very tiring to build an advertising company from scratch and overturn the existing rules of the game. And it may not be sustainable. Ronald himself would not be as greedy as Ovitz, and he would make every penny he could by relying on his sales ability. His investment situation was good, so he didn't have to work hard to make this little money.

Winning this project and taking revenge on Ovitz was one aspect, but training the computer special effects team was the more important purpose.

"Boss, boss..." Yang Yanzi rushed in in a hurry, "Ah, sorry, I didn't know you had guests."

"It's okay, I've already talked to your boss." Maguire put away the set cooperation rules, nodded and left the office.

"Tell me, what's the matter." Ronald threw a can of Coke to Yang Yanzi, who was good at everything, efficient, and able to handle several things in parallel, and did everything in an orderly manner. Sometimes she didn't respect Ronald like a boss, but just talked about the matter.

But Ronald was used to her way of doing things. After all, those were just false names, and he was not someone who needed the courtesy of his subordinates to gain self-esteem.

"I have contacted Director Huang. She will come to Los Angeles with Ms. Zhao, the heroine of Hi, Frank. I think this is an opportunity. Daydream can become the monopoly investment and distribution center of Chinese-language films in America."

"Oh, well, arrange a time for me to have dinner with them." Ronald was happy.

"I also heard a piece of news this time. Director Yiou's new film can't find a distributor in America. I think Daydream can get it. Hollywood is very interested in international cooperation now, especially Asian directors..."

"Huh? Why doesn't he come to me directly?" Ronald was a little angry. He wanted to distribute in America, but he didn't talk to himself, but went to other distributors?

"The directors in the mainland have different ideas from us... Maybe they have other ideas?" Yang Yanzi said with a smile. This boss is very proud of his success in the three places in China. Yiou's new film didn't come to him, and he felt like he lost face.

"Go find Director Wu and call him to ask him. Just ask him if I have done anything to offend mainland movies?"

"Don't be angry, Director. I heard that this may not be Yiou's own wish..." Seeing that Ronald was really angry, Yang Yanzi came to persuade him.

It turned out that this "Raise the Red Lantern" was invested by Hong Kong and XX capital, and it was not a pure mainland movie like the previous movie shot by Yiou. Therefore, the distribution of overseas copyrights belongs to the investors in Hong Kong. The director may not have any say in it.

...

"You kid, have you grown wings? You made such a good movie and wanted to distribute it in America, but you didn't come to me? Do the people in Hong Kong understand the situation here?"

Director Wu, who was working on the Chinese film preservation and collection project in Baimeng, still knew about this matter. He called Hong Kong and scolded Director Yiou who was there.

"Director, I have no choice. You know what happened at the beginning of the year. I was stopped from going to Hollywood to participate in the Oscars, so I found an investor in Hong Kong this time. I want to use the quota from Hong Kong to participate in the competition.

I take money from people, they have their own arrangements, I can't say anything..." Yiou still called Director Wu the director.

"I said you are stupid, but you still don't admit it. How big a reputation Ronald is in Hollywood, don't you know? Take the initiative and talk to the producer about this. How many actors under him have won Oscars, and you also won the best picture this year.

The best foreign language film also needs to be promoted. Your producer, who doesn't understand the situation in Hollywood at all, found a company like Orion to distribute it. Isn't this just ridiculous? "

Director Wu loves Yiou deeply and blames him. He is eager to make Yiou famous. Hearing that his old friend still only cares about the director and doesn't care about other personalities, he feels a little disappointed.

"Isn't Orion very good at promoting movies? I heard that they give directors the greatest creative freedom and respect them very much..."

"In my opinion, your Hong Kong producer doesn't even know which way the door of the Oscar Awards Ceremony opens. He is also an amateur." Director Wu was furious and told him that Orion was facing bankruptcy and restructuring, and two movies were taken over by Ronald's Daydream and were a great success.

"Hurry up, go and discuss with the producer and change the distribution contract in America. Director Luo told me that if you don't go to him, he will be very sad."

"Ah, this matter is really messed up, messed up, I will go to Hollywood to apologize. "Yiou slapped his forehead. He was in Hong Kong, so he didn't know much about the situation in Hollywood.

"Let A Gong come along... to see the star system in Hollywood."

"Okay, okay..."

...

"Welcome back, Director Huang." A few days later, Ronald received Director Huang and his party at the airport. The script of "Hi, Frank" has been polished, and this time we will let the professional screenwriters in Hollywood make some changes according to Hollywood principles.

"Hello, Director Luo." Director Huang and Ronald hugged according to Hollywood etiquette, and then pointed to an old lady who came down from behind and said to Ronald, "
