When Lige was woken up by me, he was very likely sleeping. When I heard his confused voice, I was really embarrassed to lift him out of the bed.

"Boss, is there anything you can do to me so late?" Shan Lige whispered.

"Hurry up and come to my office! As soon as possible!" I said anxiously.

"Okay, I'll be here soon!" Shan Lige woke up immediately when he heard that I was anxious.

A few dozen minutes later, I was talking to Gans about the acquisition of Disney with him in the office, and Shanlige appeared at the door panting.

"Boss, is something big happened?!" Shan Lige sat down, picked up the cup on the table and drank water. After drinking, he burped his mouth and burped.

"Do you want to make money?" I looked at him straight.

Shan Lige was confused by me: "Boss, who doesn't want to make money when you say this?!"

Hahahaha, Gans and Yassel and his group were watching Shan Lige's appearance, and they burst into laughter.

"Why are you laughing at?! Don't you want to make money?! Boss, what's going on?!" Shan Lige was almost crazy.

"What is the current production capacity of clothing props in Factory 3?" I asked.

Shan Lige slapped his chest: "No, I've made $3 in the past two weeks. Boss, have you found us a job?"

I shook my head: "I didn't find a job for you. I did this job myself. Starting tomorrow, can you see if you can produce some subsequent products of vampires, such as cloaks, masks, children's toys, etc. After production, don't you have your own sales channels? Let's see how the profits are?"

Shan Lige's mouth trembled: "Boss, you came here in the middle of the night for this?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" I was quite puzzled as he looked at Shan Lige's eyes as he approached dementia.

"Boss, can this thing make money?" Shan Lige shook his head.

"Whether you make money or not, you can produce a batch and try it first, don't you know?!" I sighed when I saw him and I was a little angry.

"Boss, I don't mean that, hehe, okay, I'll let them give birth when I go back." Shan Lige stood up and was about to walk out the door, but I stopped him before he even reached the door.

"Also, it's best to find some professional designers to design those cloaks and toys, so as not to make them look ugly." I reminded.

Shan Lige straightened his chest: "Boss, don't worry!"

Gans almost burst into laughter when he sent Shanlige away.

"Boss, would you be angry when Shan Lige returns? His wife just came here from New York and is busy. You called people here, and it was just for some toys. Hehe, Boss, you are really unethical."

"Get out! I'm giving him a difficult task! If you don't believe it, you'll know in a while!" I grabbed an apple on the table and pointed it at Gans and threw it over, but the kid caught it all at once and wiped it out for me in a small mouthful.

At around 8:00 the next morning, Walter was in my office.

DreamWorks' minds, including Northrop and others from the Los Angeles consortium, and Grant were all present.

Disney and I signed a acquisition contract with Disney Studios on behalf of DreamWorks. After signing, everyone held a small cocktail party in the company's yard to congratulate.

"Andre, I'm increasingly unable to understand what you do. I can still understand what you bought Lightning and Shanlige before. Why did you think of buying a small animation studio this time? Go to Hollywood to ask, who would invest in this thing?!" Grant hugged my shoulder with a smirk.

"I'm different from those of them. They only have money in their eyes, but I still think of something else. That Disney is a good talent. If his company goes bankrupt, it will also be a loss to Hollywood. Also, Grant, as the honorary mayor of Hollywood, you can't be biased. What's wrong with animation? Animation is worse than movies!" I smiled at Grant.

"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Corleon, I will remember your opinions in my heart." Grant said sarcastically.

After signing the contract, I held a small meeting in the conference room.

At the meeting, everyone agreed to rename Disney Studios as DreamWorks Animation Company, which was called Factory 4, and Walt 10,000 US dollars to help Disney complete the film "Lucky Bunny Oswa". All the assets of the animation company are regulated by DreamWorks General Factory, and the animation produced by the company is launched by the General Factory.

A few days after the contract was signed, the Directors Association held a regular meeting in a conference hall of the city government. Grant and I jointly sent an invitation to the Hollywood director. Because of my relationship with Grant, there were many directors attending the regular meeting. In addition, not only the directors, but also many well-known screenwriters, actors and producers also attended the meeting.

"Andre, is there anything wrong with your big move this time?" Standing at the door of the city government,

In his eyes, I have always been a low-key person. I don’t like social occasions very much. I usually don’t see any signs of me in various meetings. This time, I suddenly organized such a large-scale meeting with him. Although I didn’t say it, Grant had some questions in his heart.

In fact, it was Ford who inspired me to hold this meeting.

Last time we were having coffee together, Ford and I discussed how to influence the Directors Association

To be older, the Directors Association is not very famous in Hollywood now. As Sea and Vice Chairman, we both have the responsibility to the future development of the association.

After discussing, I told him that the most time-saving way was to create a Hollywood award or a film festival by the Directors Association.

Ford is very interested in my proposal. For Hollywood, there are no awards at all, let alone film festivals.

However, I have a personal experience of the influence of the film festival. Whether it is Cannes, Berlin, Venice, or Oscars, it has become an annual event for filmmakers around the world. If such an event can be organized, the influence of the Directors Association will definitely rise sharply.

When I told Ford about some specific things, this guy agreed very much.

So, after I came back, I called Grant and asked him to come forward and organize a regular meeting of the Directors Association with me. After all, for Hollywood filmmakers, especially directors, such special meetings are very few.

Grant likes to be busy with things like this, and he is naturally happy to help after hearing what I said, so when we both work hard, the above scene appeared.

"Grant, discuss something with you." I whispered while raising smiles to the directors entering the hall.

"You boy, you must have some conspiracy, tell me." Grant looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.

"Ask you, how much money can be used for movies that the city government has idle every year?"

"Andre, you won't be calculating me, right?! The city government doesn't have much oil and water, and it also pays employees, buys various equipment, and adds hospitality fees. There is nothing left every year!" Grant's tone was firm, and there seemed to be no room for negotiation.

"Don't cry with me, I know the income of the city government. Grant, you can't spend a lot of money every year, otherwise you wouldn't have set up a fund to support young directors at the beginning, right?" I smiled thornyly.

Grant was trembling with my smile: "There is this, but not much, only one hundred thousand a year."

"impossible!"

"Andre, let me tell you the truth. Two hundred thousand, I can only take out two hundred thousand in my hand. I can't take out any more." Grant told the truth.

Two hundred thousand, two hundred thousand is already a lot.

"Andre, I can't get this 200,000 unless it's you, if it's someone else," Grant came to me and whispered, "Tell me, what tricks are you going to do after you have made this regular meeting?"

"I want the Directors Association and the Municipal Government to jointly establish an award, which will be awarded once a year to select all Hollywood movies that year. How about it?" I told him the specific situation of the award in detail.

After hearing what I said, Grant's face suddenly calmed down, and he frowned and thought for a while, very excited.

He has been in Hollywood for so many years and naturally knows the benefits of my proposal.

Once such an award is established, the Directors Association and the Municipal Government will win both fame and fortune. As the mayor, he will be even more popular. Grant is a person who values ​​reputation very much, and I like it.

"Okay, I think it's OK. But will this 200,000 be a little less? Think about it, the annual arrangements, the expenses of the cocktail party, the award ceremony, etc., cost a lot." Grant is very experienced in this.

"Is that so?!" I pretended to be surprised: "What should I do? How much does it cost?"

Grant calculated: "If you want to get a high-end one, it will cost at least 300,000 yuan at a time."

"Isn't that a hundred thousand difference?" I shouted.

"Yes, yes." Grant rubbed his hands and said, "If you go around me and apply to the city council, a hundred thousand dollars should be approved. For Hollywood movies, it is worth spending even more money!"

Seeing Grant being hit smoothly with a sharp and decisive way, I suppressed my smile and followed him into the conference room.

The conference room is a large auditorium that can accommodate two or three hundred people. There is a small stage in front and a hall opposite there is a hall with dozens of large round tables. When I walked in, I saw heads everywhere, and I grinned secretly. It seems that the city government, especially Grant, has a strong appeal. These directors, if they don’t give me face or the film association, have to give Grant the city government.

We went in one after another, and the hall, which was originally crowded, suddenly became quiet.

"Hello, ladies and gentlemen, directors, screenwriters, producers and actors!" Grant showed his classic smile and walked onto the podium, with applause from the audience.

I looked around and said, haha, there are quite a lot of people watching, and there are also a lot of celebrities.

Among the directors, there are Sisie, Bieqin, Kim Laruman, and William, too. The two of them gathered together and whispered and didn't know what they were saying. Van Punk and Bickfort were listening attentively and smiled from time to time.

As for the actors, there are Lillian + Rudolph

As for screenwriters and producers, there are also many. However, during this regular meeting, the bosses of major film companies did not attend the exception of Chaplin, who are both bosses and directors. After all, they are director associations.

of.

Grant smiled at the bottom and said some high-sounding words before he got to the point: "This regular meeting was jointly initiated by the Directors Association and the Municipal Government. This organization has made a lot of contributions to the development of Hollywood films in recent years. Recently, Mr. Andre Ford served as the chairman of the association. After communicating with the Municipal Government, we decided to call everyone here after careful consideration, and it is impossible to decide on a major event that is very beneficial to Hollywood."

Grant's words immediately caused a lot of discussion.

After everyone gradually calmed down, Grant said in a deep voice: "The city government decided to pay $300,000 a year to set up a movie award, which will be awarded once a year. The specific details will be explained by Mr. Corleon."

Under the applause of everyone, I walked onto the podium.

"Thanks to Mr. Grant, you can discuss and decide on this movie award, name and trophy. I have proposed various settings below. If you have different opinions, you can put forward them." I looked down and saw that everyone was looking forward to it.

"The film awards are all American movies produced in that year, and are elected by a special jury committee. The film awards include the following: Best Picture, Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Performance Actor, Supporting Character, Best Photography, Best Artist, Best Editing, Best Costume Design, Best Makeup, and the Jury Special Award and Lifetime Achievement Award. You can also discuss what conditions should the participating films meet, as well as the selection procedures, etc.."

My words caused a lot of applause below.

Directors naturally hope to get recognition from others, and for those who are subordinate to screenwriters, photography and other industries, having such awards is undoubtedly a great encouragement for themselves.

"I raise my hands to agree with Mr. Corleon's proposal!" Strauheng stood up first and shouted at me.

Under his leadership, Jin Ren also stood up to support him. The people in the hall stood up one after another, and finally almost all of them stood up.

There were only a few people sitting in their seats without moving.

"Mr. Corleon, can I ask a question?" A voice came over.

I can't be familiar with this voice. In such a public occasion, he will appear almost every time I go on stage.

"Mr. Chaplin, if you have any questions, just say." Although I wanted to rush over and beat him up, I still had a smile on my face.

Chaplin looked at the people around him and looked at me again, with a hint of contempt and sarcasm in his eyes: "Mr. Corleon, your proposal is good, but how can you ensure that the notarization of this award, and how can you ensure that the members of the jury in which you said have no selfishness or are not bribed?!"

"yes."

“It makes sense.”
