Chapter 1460 High Hopes

Shirley Lansing is smart.

In Europe and the United States, smart people all know what to do after entering the workplace in order to obtain the greatest benefits without breaking the law.

When professional managers work for a company, they cannot guarantee lifelong loyalty. They can only guarantee that when they work for this company, they will be serious and responsible and work hard for this company.

If there were better options, most people would leave without hesitation.

As long as their departure does not violate the company's confidentiality principles and does not violate the law, it is normal, and others will not blame them, because in Europe and the United States, as long as the law does not say anything wrong, then it is not wrong.

Shirley Lansing is such a professional manager. When she sees a good job and a job with greater development prospects, she will definitely change jobs, but she realizes her higher ideals and creates better value.

But she had never had this opportunity to change jobs before. After all, the major giants in Hollywood were all like carrots and pitfalls. At her point, there were not many positions for her to choose from, unless she jumped out of Hollywood and worked on Wall Street.

When Yin Jun invited Shirley Lansing several times before, she was not unmoved, but wanted to see how much Yin Jun valued her, and then how much power she could gain in negotiations with Yin Jun.

An ambitious professional manager will never only care about his salary. They will be more concerned about how his own value will be reflected. If he waits for death, it really does not conform to the ideas of young and middle-aged people.

Shirley Lansing knew that Yin Jun wanted to let her manage the film department of the North American branch, but how to manage it specifically, what kind of decision-making power she had when facing those old ministers, and how many things she could decide. Let’s talk after we figure it out.

If the authority given by Yin Jun is not enough and she cannot do what she wants to do in a big way, then Shirley Lansing will definitely not come.

He's just a puppet, he might as well stay at 20th Century Fox.

Of course, Yin Jun didn't have such thoughts. When the two were communicating, Yin Jun told her that she had all the power to dispose and make decisions.

But if everyone is having a serious argument, Yin Jun hopes that Shirley Lansing can talk to him and help her come up with ideas.

Yin Jun also promised Shirley Lansing that in the next five years, no less than ten excellent films will be produced, and new blood will be injected into the film department to make it develop better.

Even Yin Jun himself will shoot at least one movie every year to make money for the company and win awards.

When Shirley Lansing thought of Yin Jun's books and the hundreds of millions of book fans around the world, she suddenly became excited.

She is excited here, but it does not mean that she can successfully join the Qilin Group.

Because the assessment is for both parties.

At the same time, Yin Jun also needs to hear about Shirley Lansing's plans for the future and the plans for Disney and United Artists Movies.

This test was also very important, so Shirley Lansing prepared for more than a month, made a detailed planning document, and sent it to Yin Jun.

Then Yin Jun invited her to Xiangjiang for a detailed discussion.

In fact, when she received this invitation, Shirley Lansing felt a little more at ease.

If the plan does not satisfy Yin Jun, Yin Jun will not let Shirley Lansing come over.

But Shirley Lansing still thought about her understanding of Yin Jun and the future development of Hollywood before coming to Xiangjiang and sitting in front of Yin Jun.

Looking at the young man in front of her, Shirley Lansing could not help but admire him even though she had seen Yin Jun's photos in newspapers and magazines, or even met Yin Jun at the Oscar reception.

Who could have imagined that the greatest miracle created by God in the world would be the young man in front of him?

Another great human genius before him, in the same category, could only be Leonardo da Vinci more than five hundred years ago.

Shirley Lansing could not witness Da Vinci's grace, but Shirley Lansing had personally witnessed Yin Jun's genius.

When she saw "Forrest Gump", she couldn't help crying.

When she saw "The Shawshank Redemption", she couldn't help crying.

When she saw "The Bridge of Lost Dreams", Shirley Lansing couldn't help but couldn't help but call Yin Jun and ask him why he wrote such a story that penetrates women's hearts.

It was hard for her to imagine that such a writer and director with such a delicate mind, who seemed to have insight into all human nature, was actually just a young man under the age of 22.

If he only does one thing like this and writes a book like this, Yin Jun will definitely be suspected by others, either as an impostor or as a ghostwriter.

But these are all words written and directed by Yin Jun, so no one can say anything - coincidence cannot happen again and again, and if it happens again and again, it can only represent true strength.

He is a genius!

But genius does not mean success.

Is Nikola Tesla a genius or not?

In terms of invention and creation, a hundred Edisons are not as good as him, and even Einstein is not as good as him, but this super genius has been poor and miserable all his life.

The most terrifying thing about Yin Jun is that he can use his intelligence to build a huge business empire.

Shirley Lansing naturally treats geniuses, and successful geniuses, with full respect.

"Master Jun." Shirley Lansing's title is standard Chinese, and then English. "I think everything in the North American branch of Kirin Group is on the right path. If I were to take care of it, I would do it." The most important thing is to stabilize your previous policies, actively focus on the company's interests, and create a series of movies and stars as our signatures.

As long as their brands are loud and clear, Disney and United Artists will be able to stand firm and have the power they deserve in the distribution of various interests and influence in Hollywood. Before this, I felt that the Kirin Group had somewhat ignored this factor and was a little too immersed in development, without actively participating in the integration into the traditional forces of Hollywood. "

Yin Jun smiled and nodded, "But we are outsiders, and it is normal for the traditional forces of Hollywood to reject us."

"That was before, and now you have told them with your strength that you are also one of the makers of Hollywood rules." Shirley Lansing said seriously, "But sometimes, strength is not the most important. We need to work together to better More people can actively participate in various matters, only in this way can we be worthy of our strength."

Yin Jun also nodded slightly.

Shirley Lansing said it very directly. In fact, this is the way the United States does things.

If you want to say that the United States is very powerful, then it must be true. It is number one in the world.

But are they really unable to resist?

That's not necessarily the case.

At least if China and Russia unite, the United States will have nothing to do.

But the Americans are very smart. They have always used force as their backing, making full use of their influence to make frequent efforts in the economy and diplomacy. Using these, they have created greater results than crushing them with force. .

For example, the disintegration of the Soviet Union is the best proof of the dual role of the United States in diplomacy and economy.

Such a large country that spans the Eurasian continent and has spread across the Eurasian continent for decades has made Europeans fearful and uneasy. The United States' unremitting penetration and efforts for more than ten years have disintegrated this country from the inside and disintegrated its own role on the earth. The biggest enemy.

From beginning to end, the United States did not use force and did not even spend much money.

But what they achieved is a huge gain that even 10 million American soldiers would not be able to obtain.

Before that, the same was true in the United States.

For example, knocking off Japan's rising momentum, knocking off the EU's rising momentum, and actively targeting rising China...

Can't say much.

But here in Hollywood, in the entire film industry, this way of doing things can also be replicated.

There are hundreds or even thousands of film production companies in Hollywood, but the power of Hollywood has always been firmly controlled by these seven.

They set rules, let other companies act according to their own rules, and then obtain various benefits from them.

Once someone is disobedient and wants to do it on their own, they will be jointly suppressed by the seven major Hollywood powers - just like the United States has always suppressed the second largest economy behind itself.

The most famous one is DreamWorks of the future.

What a strong lineup DreamWorks has! !

Its main focus on animation is Katzenberg, the current vice president of Paramount, who will also be the president of Disney's animation department in the future. The historical "Lion King" was made under his auspices.

The person who specializes in movies is even more powerful. His name is Steven Spielberg. He is one of the top super directors in Hollywood. He is capable of both literary and military skills. He can win awards and make money!

Among the remaining people who work with external theaters and coordinate relationships, David Geffen, whom Yin Jun once paid attention to, is also a well-known figure in the industry who is good at dancing.

But it was such an iron triangle that, after its initial glory, was suppressed by Hollywood and fell apart. In the end, it had to be dismantled and became a mark of history.

All of this is not solved by head-to-head confrontation, but by soft power. It will not cost you anything, but it will be a fatal blow to the enemy.

"I have already seen your plan." Thoughts flashed, Yin Jun said: "Ms. Lansing, I don't doubt your vision regarding the normal operation of the company and dealing with other Hollywood giants. Now I want to What I’m asking you is, what do you think about the people in the company?”

Shirley Lansing certainly knew that Yin Jun was talking about front-line people like producers, directors and actors.

She calmly said: "Bruckheimer is an excellent producer. Although he is destined to leave, because he is from our Qilin Group and has a strong understanding of Mr. Jun, so In the future, he will try his best to choose to cooperate with us, and if there are no major problems, I will put him in the priority cooperation level.

The next Hong Kong directors, Mr. Yu Yunchang and Mr. Chen Xunqi, have a unique vision in horror and thriller movies, and this has always been a model category of small and broad. In the future, I will organize screenwriters to provide more choices for their talents in this area. As long as three series similar to "Chain Saw" are developed in a row, we will not have to worry about this aspect within twenty years. competitiveness.

Then there is James Cameron. This director has a lot of character and a strong sense of imagery. He is a person who has a good grasp of commercial movies. We should also actively train him and strive to let him take charge of his own business as soon as possible.

But I think the two most important people are Spielberg and Jun Shao. Spielberg can cooperate with us once in a while, but we will pay a high price for it, which makes long-term cooperation impossible. Therefore, the most important thing for Qilin Group is you, Mr. Jun!

A literary film like "The Shawshank Redemption" can earn 500 million US dollars at the box office and be nominated for more than a dozen Oscars. If your recent film "Rain Man" can win the favor of the Oscar again, then your new generation His reputation as a great director will never escape his mind!

Celebrities, whether male or female, like to work with directors who can win awards and make money. As long as you can maintain your standards and have a movie come out every year or two, we can use this to network a lot of stars and let them star in other movies of the Kirin Group! "

After a pause, Shirley Lansing added, "As for the actors, I took a look at the information you gave me. I have also heard about your vision in the United States. In the future, Disney and United Artists Film Company's movies , will mainly focus on these people, and if there is an opportunity, I will actively invite actors from Hong Kong to play movie roles."

"There are also black actors." Yin Jun reminded, "In the future, these issues will be very sensitive in the United States. Try not to let others gossip."

"I know." Shirley Lansing smiled, "But with Eddie Murphy and Morgan Freeman in our hands, we are already invincible."

Seeing how clear she was, Yin Jun also smiled.

Then he extended his hand, "Welcome to the Qilin Group, Ms. Lansing."

"My pleasure!"

Shirley Lansing breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out her hand, shaking it with Yin Jun.

She didn't know that Yin Jun actually had high hopes for her and valued her more than she imagined.

With professionals like Shirley Lansing in charge, Yin Jun can begin to introduce a large number of scripts, bringing the entire Hollywood into the Kirin Group era.

For example, Tony Leung's first movie in Hollywood next month will be Yin Jun's gift to Shirley Lansing when he takes office.

The name of this movie is

"Mission: Impossible"

Yin Jun already had the film rights in his hands two years ago, but he just kept silent, waiting for the opportunity to come.

Tom Cruise, who is 170cm tall, can still play "Mission: Impossible" well, let alone Tony Leung who is 174cm tall.

What's more, Tom Cruise is not as handsome as Tony Leung.

Even if people in Europe and America don't think much about it, Yin Jun doesn't care.

If everything is based on what happened in the previous life, how can we promote Chinese celebrities and promote Chinese culture?

But then again.

"Mission: Impossible" itself has enough charm.

If it weren't for the fact that the plots of the next few movies in the previous life were really bad, leading to a very bad reputation, it would actually be far more thrilling than "The Bourne Supremacy", at least in terms of commercial performance.

Yin Jun may not be good at it, but now he is really outstanding in writing movie plots.

The three-episode "Mission: Impossible" scripts he wrote are much better than those in his previous life. He has changed all the bad habits of European and American screenwriters, and the rest are the best.

Such a movie that was only supposed to be released in the 1990s was made in 1983, with the support of special effects in the digital field and the action guidance of Xiangjiang. It is conceivable that it caused a sensation.

Once Shirley Lansing completes "Mission: Impossible", her position in the Kirin Group will be secure.

At least it has stabilized initially.

Next, it was time for her to use her own methods.

Yin Jun really wants to see how far this strong woman known as the "Queen of Hollywood" can take the Kirin Group's film company with her strong support!
