Chapter 1459 Strong Woman

Because Yin Jun is in Xiangjiang, many Hollywood giants know this place.

Also because of Yin Jun's status, unless it is a very important matter or he is filming in the United States and discussing business, he can summon others to come to Xiangjiang to discuss any matter.

The chestnut-haired Western woman who arrived in Xiangjiang today was invited by Yin Jun.

Her name is Shirley Lansing. She is 35 years old and is an executive vice president at 20th Century Fox. Her position is second only to Alan Ryder Jr. and Spring, and she ranks third at 20th Century Fox.

Shirley Lansing, who seems to be so beautiful, actually knows her troubles.

Job discrimination exists everywhere, especially in Hollywood.

Female stars will never be as popular as male stars, nor will they last as long as male stars. The same is true for female behind-the-scenes staff.

The career ceiling is becoming more and more obvious for Shirley Lansing.

There was nothing she could do.

Little Alan Ryder is only 54 years old this year. He is in the prime of life, and he has a good father. He is destined to never leave his job unless he makes a huge mistake.

Spring, the first vice president, is only 7 years older than Shirley Lansing, is only 42 years old, and is Alan Ryder's confidant.

Once Alan Ryder retires, it will definitely be Spring who will take over. It will not be Shirley Lansing's turn for at least twenty years.

How long is a woman's career golden period?

At best it's 20 years, at most 30 years. Now that Shirley Lansing is 35 years old, does she still have 20 years to wait for the top position?

A woman's family and children are equally important.

Therefore, after receiving several consecutive phone calls from Yin Jun, and after half a year of consideration, Shirley Lansing decided to come to Xiangjiang to talk to Yin Jun.

What prompted Shirley Lansing to come to Hong Kong was the recent rumors that Australian media tycoon Rupert Murdoch wanted to shut down 20th Century Fox.

It's not just rumors anymore.

Shirley Lansing knew that Murdoch had met with shareholders, Alan Ryder, Spring and others many times, but she was not the only one who attended the meeting.

This made Shirley Lansing very embarrassed and unhappy.

After all, I am also the third-ranked vice president. How could you ignore me like this?

He was thinking that if Murdoch took over 20th Century Fox, he might not have such a good future. This was also the reason why Shirley Lansing came to Hong Kong.

Yin Jun came to Shirley Lansing, who was also the vice president.

But the position and authority of this vice president are completely different from those at 20th Century Fox.

Because Kirin Group has two film companies, United Artists Film Company is one of the seven giants in Hollywood. In the past two years, Disney has become more and more courageous and has become the eighth largest force.

Together, these two film companies are undoubtedly the largest film companies in the world.

Shirley Lansing is responsible for all the business of these two film companies, including planning, production, distribution, peripherals, etc. She is really powerful, even more powerful than her former boss Alan Ryder.

Shirley Lansing is also a very enterprising woman. Since there is a possibility of going further, why doesn't she give it a try?

What she is actually more worried about now is that after having a detailed discussion with Yin Jun, she failed to gain Yin Jun's trust, which ruined this opportunity.

So for this meeting and discussion, Shirley Lansing spent half a month preparing, made a detailed plan, and handed it over to Yin Jun in advance.

She came here this time to elaborate on her strategy for the next few years.

Yin Jun asked Shirley Lansing to take charge of the film business of the North American branch of Kirin Group, and of course it was not to reduce Tang Shuxuan's power.

As a woman with no background in economic management, Tang Shuxuan has found it very difficult to manage the North American branch of Kirin Group in recent years.

If it weren't for the help of several vice presidents and the growth of Robert Iger at Disney TV Channel, Tang Shuxuan would have been exhausted mentally and physically.

Don't forget, she has three children to look after.

Then in the past two years, Yin Jun gave her two films in a row, both in categories that Tang Shuxuan liked very much. "Mother and Daughter" rewarded her with an Oscar nomination for Best Director, which made Tang Shuxuan very happy and encouraged. .

What she loves most is filming and making her favorite movies.

So Tang Shuxuan told Yin Jun more than once, asking him to quickly find a good professional manager to take over the burden on him.

Yin Jun's favorite successor must be Robert Iger, but Robert Iger is too young and has little qualifications. He does not even control the ABC TV News Network, so it is naturally impossible for him to become the leader of the North American branch of the Kirin Group. President.

Yin Jun also looks down on the rest of the people from Disney and United Artists Film Company, because history has proven that these people are mediocre.

Originally, Yin Jun wanted Michael Eisner to be the president of Disney for more than ten years, but he did not expect that he would have a deep grudge with him in this life. From last year to this year, he called him several times, but Michael Eisner did not respond. Instead, he said that he still wanted to compete with Yin Jun.

He didn't dare to say that he was overpowering Yin Jun anymore. The release of seven or eight super-grossing and Oscar-level movies in a row has completely eliminated the sense of superiority of the six giants in Hollywood.

In this world, no one dares to say that he can surpass Yin Jun in film and television entertainment.

In this aspect, Yin Jun is definitely a genius that will not appear in a century.

But Michael Eisner did not admit defeat. He wanted to make a good movie of his own and strive to overwhelm the Kirin Group several times so that he would have face.

If Michael Eisner doesn't come, Barry Diller won't come either. Avery Katzenberg is somewhat interested, but now is not the best time. We have to wait until Barry Diller is poached by Fox and the trio breaks up. Only then will Katzenberg have the possibility of starting anew.

Since these three giants would not join the Kirin Group in a short time, the headhunting company recommended Shirley Lansing to Yin Jun.

As soon as she heard the name, Yin Jun immediately thought of her information.

For people outside of Hollywood, Shirley Lansing is definitely not that familiar, but in fact, this strong woman is the head of a top film and television media group.

After all the three giants of Paramount left, it was Shirley Lansing who came from 20th Century Fox, who quickly stabilized the morale of the army and produced many excellent movies in one go, including "Braveheart" , "Forrest Gump", "Mission: Impossible", "Titanic", etc., have kept Paramount at the forefront of the six major Hollywood studios.

It can also be seen from these movies that in addition to management skills, Shirley Lansing has a very good vision and captured many masterpieces of the 1990s.

After thinking about it for so many years, Tang Shuxuan was a little tired of supporting him. Faced with the active development of the two major companies, it was obvious that he could not keep up with the pace. Yin Jun also intended to separate more responsibilities and powers.

At the beginning, all the power of the North American branch was concentrated on Tang Shuxuan. On the one hand, there was no other suitable candidate, and on the other hand, because Tang Shuxuan was Chinese and had a good character, it would not be easy for him to betray Yin, who is also Chinese in Hollywood. hansome.

Now that the company has reached a stage of stable development, if Yin Jun wants to decide on management candidates, it will definitely not be like this.

Tang Shuxuan will still hold the position of president of the North American branch in the next two years, but for specific film companies, TV networks, animation companies, amusement parks and peripheral projects, special personnel must be assigned to each category.

Shirley Lansing's more than ten years as president of the film department was definitely more than enough.

Headhunting companies are very resourceful. They saw Shirley Lansing's wavering and did not take action immediately. Instead, they found Yin Jun, the boss, and started to match up.

Now the two have entered the substantive negotiation stage. If this poaching can be successful, the headhunting company will receive at least a huge intermediary fee of more than 5 million US dollars!

Compared to how much Yin Jun knew about her, Shirley Lansing actually knew a lot about Yin Jun.

Women are born delicate. Regardless of what is commonly called a tomboy, they all actually have the nature of a woman.

Shirley Lansing is such a woman who does things neatly and neatly, yet yet delicately.

Shirley Lansing had studied Yin Jun as early as when he made a blockbuster acquisition of United Artists Film Company and Disney Company and combined them to form a new company.

The six giants at that time all discussed giving Yin Jun a good look and driving him out of Hollywood.

However, Shirley Lansing suggested to young Alan Ryder that she could cooperate with Yin Jun conditionally to help him gain a foothold, so that he could get a few good scripts from Yin Jun and try his hand in Hollywood.

Because Shirley Lansing discovered through research that Yin Jun is definitely not just showing off his power in Asia, and is not just the number one screenwriter in Asia.

It can be seen from the few super classic novels published by Yin Jun that he has a very stable grasp of the tastes of European and American people.

Whether it is "Jurassic Park" or "The Da Vinci Code" or "Forrest Gump" and other novels, it is definitely valuable to adapt them into movies.

At that time, Shirley Lansing was eyeing the film and television adaptation rights of these books.

It is a pity that Alan Ryder Jr. and Spring did not listen to Shirley Lansing's advice and did not express goodwill to Yin Jun.

However, they still contacted Tang Shuxuan on the other hand and wanted to get the rights to adapt Yin Jun's books.

Regarding their actions, Shirley Lansing felt dumbfounded.

Do you think Yin Jun is a Westerner?

Are you the kind of person who treats business as business and hatred as hatred?

He is definitely a typical Oriental. Orientals do things based on people and the relationship between them, so these are all lumped together!

Everyone is in the stage of overt and covert struggle. How can he still give you these adaptation rights?

Facts also proved that Shirley Lansing's idea was right. Tang Shuxuan refused these requests without even thinking.

Then, United Artists Film Company established a foothold with classics such as "Beverly Hills Cop", "Terminator", and "First Blood", and Disney even made more than 800 million US dollars with "The Lion King" The film's global box office hit many people's faces.

Disney Channel's "American Idol" and "Happy Hotel" both dominate the small screen, with more than 60 million viewers.

From that time on, the Kirin Group was no longer afraid of the Big Six in Hollywood, and Paramount also lost the best opportunity to cooperate with the Kirin Group.

Seeing the distressed and regretful expressions of little Alan Ryder and the others, Shirley Lansing was filled with emotion.

If I had known this, what were you doing earlier?

People like Yin Jun may not be polite on weekdays, but he is a genius and there is absolutely no way he would give in.

You should treat this kind of person in a gentle way, rather than confronting him forcefully.

Now there is no way to reconcile the relationship. The Kirin Group is also making rapid progress, leaving the Big Six in Hollywood far behind and becoming the well-deserved number one in Hollywood. It really makes people don’t know what to say.
