Chapter 734 Hollywood Tendency

?When Yang Cheng returned to New York, it was already June, with white clouds and a gentle breeze. After the spring of recovery of all things, New York, which is about to usher in summer, was already somewhat lively.

As soon as Yang Cheng got off the plane, before he could go home and change his clothes to feel the beauty of this season, he was blocked by Eddie who came all the way to the airport.

Sitting in the Zeppelin Maybach, as if coming home, he stretched comfortably, and asked Eddie, who was sweating for some reason, "Even if you make it up, you have to make it up for me, otherwise I will make it up." I have to think about how to punish you, after all, you are over half a hundred years old, and you are so unsteady."

Eddie only had a wry smile on his face, took off his round glasses, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, and said, "Boss, it's really not a big deal, I just heard that you're back in New York, my office The threshold is about to be broken, there are too many people coming to seek financing, I can't see it, the phone line has been ripped off by me, and the mobile phone has been turned off, so I can only use the reason of coming to pick up the machine to hide Leisure."

Yang Cheng froze for a moment, then laughed, "Eddie, Eddie, you're not complaining to me, you're telling me good news."

Eddie laughed and shook his head, "It's true that I'm very happy, but these days people come and go and quarrel give me a headache, not to mention me, even our employees have become impatient, and I don't know which one is in the company Spreading rumors about the upcoming listing, these employees are looking forward to earning some original shares."

Yang Cheng also shook his head, not to blame, the employees' minds are very simple and understandable, "Then you have to comfort yourself when you go back, although this may be our last financing, but there is still a long way to go before going public to go."

"Boss, I understand. I have repeatedly emphasized the purpose of this financing with the management. I have also sent people to investigate and screen companies that are interested in participating in the financing. The best quality partners must be selected to come in." With the constant temperature system turning the car The temperature inside was adjusted to a suitable temperature, and the sweat on Eddie's face also disappeared a lot, but his expensive shirt was all wet.

Yang Cheng nodded to express his understanding, and said, "We won't hold any financing reception this time, just gather the directors together, and after discussing the decision, hold a celebration dinner or misunderstanding, everyone can celebrate as you like."

"Good boss~"

"By the way, have you got in touch with the London Police Federation?" Yang Cheng was concerned about another investment.

Hansen nodded immediately, "I have already contacted and confirmed the payment method and process of 340 million pounds. When the time comes, I will directly go to the offshore account to avoid certain taxes. The other party has also agreed to this. It seems that they do not want to give The tax department pays tribute."

Yang Cheng sneered, "That's for sure, you don't know, the British police are almost out of control now, so naturally they can save a little bit, otherwise, why would we let us take advantage of it?"

Eddie echoed, "It's really cheap. I didn't expect to buy a building in the center of London for only 340 million. I investigated later and found that the London police's lair is still very new. We don't need to do much structural transformation at all. , as long as you find a design company to redecorate, you can move in."

"You can figure it out. If the other party doesn't demand too much, try to satisfy it. There is also Prince William's affection." Yang Cheng handed over the matter to Eddie with confidence.

"I see, boss. I don't know if you have heard about one more thing. Our Secretary of State has resigned." Eddie said in a low voice.

Yang Cheng straightened up, with a solemn expression, "When did it happen? Why didn't you see the news report?"

Eddie still suppressed his voice and explained, "We have been warned that large-scale reports on this matter are not allowed for the time being, and we don't know what Baigong's plan is.

"

Yang Cheng rubbed her chin and muttered, "What else can I plan? I'm preparing for the election."

"We don't need to confront Bai Gong about this matter. Now is not the time to pursue freedom of the press." Yang Cheng reminded.

"Of course, boss, don't worry, I won't be impulsive."

"That's good~"

After that, there was nothing to say all the way, and Yang Cheng didn't go home at all, but went to the company, returned to the office with Eddie, and sent him away. After a while, Hansen came to report.

"Boss, while we were away from New York, the reporter made some noise."

Yang Cheng looked at the briefing in his hand without raising his head, "Angus? What happened to him? Didn't he take away our confidential documents last time?"

Hansen nodded, "Yes, but he took it away, and he didn't know what it was for. This time, he even took the initiative to ask his superiors for a transfer, and asked to be a reporter at C TV station again. The superior we called After saying hello, I agreed without much effort, and now Angus has successfully entered the work of C TV station."

Only then did Yang Cheng put down his pen, and said thoughtfully, "It seems that Wendy Murdoch wants to make a fuss on the TV station, I know, keep staring, and can't relax for a moment with this person."

"It's the boss~"

After Hansen went out, the landline on the table rang non-stop, and Susu's voice came from pressing the hands-free button, "Boss, Ms. Donna Round is on line 3."

Yang Cheng hummed, and pressed the No. 3 button with her finger. After a few busy tones, Donna Lande's greeting came, "Boss, how are you doing in London?"

She pursed her lips and smiled, but still did not raise her head, "Very good, but the continuous rain is unbearable."

Donna Round smiled and turned to the topic, "There is something here that needs to be discussed with the boss before making a decision. There is an intention to co-produce a film from Fox Films. The project is "Independence Day 2", which is a classic sci-fi war The sequel of the movie, with a total investment of about 150 million US dollars, the film was officially launched a few days ago, but then came the news that the budget needs to be increased by 50 million US dollars, Fox is not going to eat this part of the increased budget, and is going to use it to find financing .”

Yang Cheng frowned, "You don't need to make a special call for this matter, do you? You can make up your own mind, let's just talk about the key points."

"Indeed, the crux of the problem lies in the temporarily changed script, which changed the role of the president from a male to a female." Donna Lande spoke at a gentle pace, without emphasizing a certain word at all, but Yang Cheng quickly grasped the point .

Set the president as a woman? With such an obvious directivity, Fox really dares to play? I also want to pull other companies into the water together.

He snorted coldly and said decisively, "No, we don't participate in the ZZ issue. Even from an investment point of view, I'm not optimistic about the box office prospects of this sequel. It's obviously a project that eats money, so I don't care if I don't vote."

However, there was no response from Donna Langde on the phone, Yang Cheng frowned, "Do you have other ideas?"

Donna Round pondered for a while. After all, she didn't say it clearly, but said tactfully, "I heard that several companies have clearly expressed their intention to participate in the investment."

Yang Cheng sighed, he knew that when it comes to major events involving the selection of j~u, this group of people in Hollywood are the most troublesome.

In particular, Hollywood's love for Mrs. Zipperton is nothing new. Before the people over there officially announced their candidacy, there are people here who are raising funds for Mrs. Zipperton.

Of course, the fact that Hollywood loves Mrs. Zipperton has nothing to do with the Donkey Party. Those guys in Hollywood who have liberated their natures do things according to their preferences. Zipperton was full of goodwill towards Hollywood when he was in office. Showed a real appreciation and respect, which also made Hollywood a hardcore supporter of his wife and laid a solid foundation.

There is another most typical example. Sanders, another candidate for the Donkey Party in his previous life, also gave a speech in Hollywood, but he received strong criticism, because Sanders had previously made strong accusations about Disney's low salary. I was severely beaten back by Disney.

The ZZ proposition put forward by Sanders, who calls himself a socialist, is to put pressure on the rich and big companies to take more responsibility for maintaining the social welfare system. This is a policy that the Big Six Hollywood is unwilling to accept, so Although Hollywood will be more inclined to liberalism, extremes like Sanders cannot be recognized by Hollywood.

Of course, donations are not the only way to help, nor is it the only way Hollywood expresses its support for Mrs. Zipperton. George Clooney once held a fundraising dinner for Mrs. Zipperton. The price of admission tickets for each couple exceeded $350,000.

And movies, what Hollywood is best at, also imply Hollywood's ZZ tendency, just like Fox is now temporarily modifying the president's character in its own movies. The final choice of the voters of the film has a positive impact.

Fortunately, this routine was discovered by Yang Cheng. He didn't intend to go in to stir up trouble, let alone allow his subordinates to make tendentious comments, so he solemnly warned, "Donna, I personally respect your ZZ tendency, and I would rather Show respect for your support of your favorite presidential candidate.

However, you cannot represent yourself now. You represent New Era Films, the entire New Era Media, and me, Yang Cheng. If you make obvious remarks, hostile forces will not trouble you, but will I'm pointing the finger at the point, so before I give you clear instructions, I hope you can control yourself and don't act impulsively, understand? "

Yang Cheng's strong words made Donna Langde speechless for a moment, and after a while, she explained dumbfoundedly, "Boss, don't worry, I'm standing with you and the whole group, so naturally I won't do anything that contradicts you." group strategy."

"Don't blame me for making a fuss. The email incident a while ago has already made us stand on the edge of a cliff. If we are not careful, we will fall to pieces. I am not afraid of death, but I just don't want to die in the hands of my own people. Regarding the big xuan in the future , I have my own thoughts, and now is not the time to make a decision."
