Chapter 2544: Reforming Hollywood

Chapter 2340 Reform Hollywood

After Yokomichi Keiji finished his kowtow, Ye Yuze looked around and finally his eyes fell on Old Honda:

"This is my apprentice, Ye Yuze. If anyone dares to hurt him, I will make him lose everything and live on the streets!"

Old Honda was stunned, and then he became angry. This kid is too bold to come to someone's house to threaten people.

But when he met Ye Yuze's eyes, he suddenly trembled for no reason. Those eyes were like deep pools, which made him feel afraid. He felt powerless to compete.

"Don't worry, my dear, I'm here, no one dares to take advantage of your apprentice!"

Old Yanqi's voice sounded. Although Old Honda dared to compete with him, it was entirely because of his Honda power. That thing was like a warrior engine, which could choke many people's necks.

But now it is completely different. Old Honda without Honda power is like a tiger without teeth, and is no longer in the same league as Old Yanqi.

Originally, Iwa Mitsubishi was larger than Honda, but the Honda family developed too fast, relying on the leading engine technology, so it dared to challenge Mitsubishi.

But at this moment, old Iwa Qi was already full of vigor and vitality. What if Honda's power was powerful? That was already the property of his in-laws, plus the Warrior car engine, who was he afraid of?

Old Honda looked at old Iwa Qi fiercely, and his eyes seemed to want to kill.

"As an islander, Honda's power was plundered by others, are you really so happy?"

Old Honda's words were a bit heartbreaking and full of provocation. If the answer was not good, it would rise to the emotional aspect, which would naturally bring some very negative effects to old Iwa Qi and Mitsubishi.

However, how could old Iwa Qi get to his current position in vain? He just smiled slightly:

"A person with bad intentions always wants to grab something in front of others through other means, but often shoots himself in the foot. It is better to be down-to-earth!"

The spotlights were "clicking", and his words obviously resonated with the reporters.

Human beings are like this. No matter how dirty their inner and private behavior is, they always like to dress themselves up in front of others with some gorgeous words.

I remembered a sentence in Wang Guozhen's poem: "The human heart, no matter what kind of clothes it wears, will not be too beautiful."

Old Honda didn't say anything else. The reaction of the reporters had already explained everything. He had lost the most important part of the industry. If he continued to fight with Old Yanqi, with Ye Yuze as a strong supporter, he might really be doomed.

Shaking his head, he left, his back was very lonely. His behavior had caused huge losses to the company. Even if it was a family business, he needed to give an explanation to others.

At least most of his shares would be taken away, and the part that could be left for him to maintain his life would be good.

A generation of heroes has since bid farewell and will be annihilated from this world.

And Honda Junichiro, who followed behind him, was like a bereaved father. He was still young and did not have the prestige and capital of Old Honda. It was estimated that becoming a wage earner was his only way out.

Looking at all this, Yokomichi Keiji burst into tears and kowtowed to Ye Yuze several times.

If he was forced to kowtow just now, then now he was grateful from the bottom of his heart. He could live, although his identity changed from boss to worker, but what did it matter?

For the first time in his life, he felt that it was good to be alive.

After the matter was over, Ye Yuze and his men were going to return home. This was the request of the middle-aged man in black, and it was naturally not his request.

Ye Yuze was very obedient. First, this matter was indeed a bit big, and second, he felt the warmth from home.

A passport is a certificate, and the place where this certificate is issued is your home...

As for the matter of receiving Honda Power, naturally there are people from the Warrior Engine Factory to do it. Although this is Ye Yuze's sole proprietorship, it cannot be separated from the Warrior Engine Group.

Tian Qing stared blankly at the phone in his hand. Until now, he still didn't believe that Honda Power had become a branch of the Warrior Engine Group.

They have been competitors for many years. Although Warrior Engine is a latecomer, it is only in the research and development of automobile engines. As for other things, it is really a little worse than others.

This time, the fighter engine has another big leap forward, right?

Ye Kailin was even more excited than him. After knowing the news, he was the first to rush into Tian Qing's office and asked to go to the island country to take over the company in person.

Tian Qing disagreed at first, but she couldn't beat her. No one could do anything about the stubbornness of this German woman, and she was the daughter-in-law of the Ye family.

On the plane, the middle-aged man in black looked at Ye Yuze with admiration. At first, he was extremely dissatisfied with the task of protecting a businessman arranged by the superiors.

But after understanding all the reasons for the matter, he was completely shocked, not because of Ye Yuze's martial arts value, but because of the follow-up of the matter.

A Chinese Kung Fu Hall and a power company were born in the island country. The significance and subsequent impact of this matter can be imagined without thinking.

If all businessmen are like this, even if they protect with their lives, what's the harm?

Originally, Ye Yuze and his team were going to return to Boston this time, but because of this matter, they could only return to Beijing for a while.

Ye Feng was also on the plane, watching his father with mixed emotions. Compared with his father, he was much more diligent, but it was this lazy father who could always turn the situation around unexpectedly at every critical moment.

He has always been thinking about the gap between him and his father, but he has never figured it out.

But after this incident, he seemed to have some enlightenment. His father has his own beliefs, while he only pursues interests. But so far, what is the use of beliefs?

Arriving at the airport, a special car sent Ye Yuze and his party home. No one came out to meet them. In fact, Ye Yuze did not want that.

At this level, every move has long been watched by others. There is no need to teach or promise anything. It is tacitly understood.

Ye Mao's crew filmed smoothly. Although Lao Mouzi became the director, Laura was even more powerful.

Lao Mouzi actually had to admire that although the film and television industry relies on actors, shooting technology and equipment are also very critical things.

And Laura knows these things very well. They even used the original crew to put together a movie, imitating the plot of Havoc in Heaven, using 3D technology. If the effect is good, they are going to make more movies.

Anyway, the crew needs to shoot for a long time, and movies are equivalent to a sideline, which can increase income without increasing costs much.

At this time, Yuanfang was struggling alone in Hollywood. There were actually many big directors and famous actors in Brother Film and Television, but there were no shocking works in recent years.

The film and television industry depends entirely on box office and ratings. In fact, these people are used to making big productions and look down on those too ordinary works, so they made the company like this.

Yuanfang came from a grassroots background and worked her way up from a small actor at the bottom. Naturally, she knew how to run a company.

She has never paid much attention to the star effect, although she has also made some people famous. But she never tied the development of the company to these people.

After all, human nature is greedy. Once these people are praised too much, it is inevitable that their achievements will shock the boss.

Things like playing big and asking for treatment will emerge in an endless stream. If you are weak, you, as a company boss, will have to follow their buttocks.

Yuanfang is determined not to indulge these people. She regards the interests of the company as more important than anything else.

Because, after taking charge of the company, she just got familiar with the situation a little bit, and decisively terminated the contracts with several famous directors and actors.

It was not that she fired them, but because several scripts they had collected had not been approved, they wanted to leave, just because they were afraid of paying liquidated damages for breach of contract, and they were sarcastic all day long.

After Yuanfang took over, she personally reviewed these scripts and resolutely killed them. They were all fake and empty things, with no content at all, relying on famous actors and big productions to make gimmicks, which meant that they might fool people at the beginning.

But today's audiences are not the same as before. As soon as they enter the theater and understand what's going on, they will immediately complain.

The Internet is so developed nowadays that once public opinion is hyped up, no one will watch it immediately. She, Yuanfang, is not a fool.

So she directly discussed with these people and terminated the contract in a friendly manner, without paying liquidated damages, and the company still had some expenses left.

Her behavior caused an uproar in Hollywood. After all, famous directors and stars are the lifeblood of every company. Isn't she destroying the Great Wall? This has always been a tradition in Hollywood.

For this reason, many media called and even blocked her door to interview her. They were all rejected by Yuanfang, which stirred up a hornet's nest.

In the same industry, the media have voiced their dissatisfaction with Brothers Film and Television, and unanimously condemned this Chinese woman for completely destroying Fox Entertainment created by Murdoch.

After a period of silence, Yuanfang finally held a press conference, and her attitude was very clear.

The film and television industry is performed for the common people, and most of the stories depicted are ordinary people. This can attract attention.

And those big productions are just things that filmmakers play with themselves, and it is not easy to resonate with ordinary people.

Therefore, Brothers Film and Television will reduce the high-cost commercial film shooting in the future and shift the focus to aspects that are close to life and reality.

Her words are undoubtedly another heavy bomb, which confuses everyone in the circle. This woman is really crazy. Isn't this self-destruction?

You must know that today's movies are no longer art, but a commodity that attracts audiences with special effects and gimmicks. In addition, a huge amount of advertising funds are thrown out.

No matter whether the movie is good or not, it will be bombarded before it is released so that everyone can't know it. This is called brainwashing.

So once the movie is released, the box office revenue will not be bad at the beginning, but it's just that it's really good or not. The effect can be seen after three days.

The box office has been cut in half, plummeted, and finally forced to be removed from the shelves by the theater. This fate has become the norm.

The key is that how much you lose has little to do with the directors and actors. You can't get less money. At most, you can't get any share.

So, they are still obsessed with big productions. After all, the pay is high. As long as it is a big hit, the money they get is enough for them to earn for several years.

As for how much the film and television companies lose? What does it have to do with them?

And Yuanfang's approach has undoubtedly touched their interests. After Yuanfang terminated the contract with the first batch of actors and directors, the second batch of people began to talk to her about the termination of the contract.

I thought Yuanfang would be threatened. After all, if another batch left, Brothers Film and Television would soon become an empty shell. What value can such a company have?

Hollywood's values ​​are these people. The company that owns more is the company that is stronger. Merck spent a lot of money to recruit them and has been supporting them ever since.

I didn’t expect that Yuanfang was not Murdoch. When he heard that someone wanted to terminate the contract again, he immediately received them with a smile.

The first sentence was: "Thank you for understanding the company's difficulties and taking the initiative to reduce my burden. We will waive the breach of contract fee and the like. We will have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future."

Yuanfang held a dozen termination agreements in his hand, which would take effect immediately as long as they were signed.

At this time, most people hesitated. It’s true that they are famous, but Hollywood is not short of such people.

Once the contract is terminated, they will sign a new company. But few of the people who left in the last batch have joined the new company.

To be honest, they are treated very well here. If they change to another company, they may not get this treatment, unless they are really popular and truly first-line.

It’s just that the film and television market has begun to sluggish in recent years, and these big names have become a burden to the company. The film and television market is sluggish, and they can only make money through business activities.

For example, endorsements, participating in variety shows, shooting commercials, etc. But those are too fragmented. The money is not much.

Seeing them start to hesitate, Yuanfang suddenly became unhappy and said in a cold voice:

"Next, I will reduce the pay of the film, increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and your income will definitely be greatly reduced. Let's part ways amicably now."

There were a few people with bad tempers who couldn't stand Yuanfang's attitude. They signed the agreement and turned away at that time.

But most people still took a wait-and-see attitude and were ready to wait and see. After all, this new boss was easy to talk to and saved money without losing money.

After these people left, Yuanfang immediately started her plan. Hollywood has never lacked good scripts, but the living space was squeezed by those blockbusters.

She selected ten films to start filming at once, most of which were life films and art films. And decisively reduced the pay of stars and directors.

This is actually not a breach of contract. After all, the company signed them and gave them an annual salary. Even if they were asked to shoot for free, it would not be a big deal.

As a result, those who did not leave were completely disappointed and talked to Yuanfang about the termination of the contract, but Yuanfang refused.

In one sentence: "You can terminate the contract, but you must pay the penalty. If you don't pay, just shoot the film well and wait until the contract expires."

No matter how powerful these people are, they have to obey the contract. If they act like big shots, Yuanfang will punish them immediately without any leniency.

For a while, these people complained bitterly, but there was nothing they could do.

Come on
