Is there any other good movie besides Washington?” I gently tapped the tabletop.

Gans looked through his workbook and his attitude was much easier than when he mentioned "Washington".

"Boss, there are several movies that may have conflicts with our schedule: Neporo's "Ben Hur", Keaton's "Go to the West", and Rex's "The Deceitful Deal". However, compared with "Washington", these movies are much worse, and they will definitely not be our opponents."

The movies that Gans mentioned are indeed several more important movies in history this year. In fact, Neporo's "Ben Hu" was remake continuously, Rex's "The Deceitful Dan Recipe" was popular with many people as soon as it was released, and Keaton's "Go to the West" was highly praised by the audience for his performance. After all, Chaplin, one of the two major comedy performance aces in Hollywood, has now become a cross-border rat. In this way, the audience's eyes will naturally focus on Keaton, whose performance abilities are comparable to Chaplin.

However, these movies cannot be compared with our "Brave Heart" and cannot be compared with MGM's "Washington". However, they actually chose to release them in the same schedule as these two movies. I have to admire their courage and confidence in their own movies.

After the meeting, Griffith and other people from the director team went to take charge of the aftermath of the crew, and the others were also busy with their own affairs, so I started to manage the company. I stayed outside for two months, and the company was basically managed by Gans and Yassel. Jimmy brought a bunch of documents over, so I had to look at them one by one.

In the past two months, Shanlige's third factory has earned more than 600,000 US dollars for the company. They are doing well in film production, prop leasing, film washing and other businesses. Because the theater system is in the renovation stage in the past two months, it only earns 140,000 US dollars. These two things add up to the company's total profit for two months, which is almost equal if it is less expensive.

In the past two months, there have been many exciting events in Hollywood. The most attractive one is naturally the scandal of Chaplin. Secondly, some things have also attracted my attention. First, under the leadership of Grant, the Harvey Award selection agencies are constantly being formed. Branch associations such as the Actors Association, Screenwriters Association, and Photography Association have also been established and embarked on a normal working track. Secondly, Callum and Aisina formed an alliance. Although the two film companies each maintain their independence, the two parties agreed to help each other in theater screenings and staffing.

The former has nothing to do with me, but the latter makes me feel a little bit cumbersome.

"What's wrong with the alliance between Gans, Callum and Aisena?" I didn't want to look at the thick paper materials, so I asked Jimmy to find Gans.

Seeing me frowning, Gans was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said, "Isn't this normal thing in Hollywood? It's no big deal for companies to support each other and develop together."

"Bad! I don't pay much attention to other companies supporting each other and developing together, but Callum and Aisina are different!" I pointed to the stack of documents and roared.

"What's the difference? Why didn't I see it?" Gans looked at me, feeling a little worried.

I walked up to him and looked at his head: "Gans, are you confused all day long? Callum and Aisina are in the same level of companies as us! You know the relationship between companies of the same level without me telling me!"

"I know, basically, it's life and death now." Gans didn't seem to be so confused.

"So, when these two companies join forces, it posed a significant threat to us. Now the fourth-level company is Lianmei, and we and them. As opponents, I naturally hope that the more they are dispersed, the better. This time, the two companies have formed an alliance, and you have to keep a close eye on it in the future." I told Gans.

Gans looked at me and blew his mouth: "Boss, the fourth level is more than these four companies now."

"How is it possible? Apart from these four companies, new ones have been added?!" I was very surprised.

Gans flipped out a newspaper from the bottom of the stack of documents and handed it to me.

I took it over, a Hollywood Times report, and the protagonists of the report were three companies I was very familiar with: Star Film Company, Kepi Film Company and Frontier Film Company.

The series of small-cost movies produced by Roberts are very profitable, so they squeezed from the fifth level to the fourth level. Richard doesn't admire Bag's smart mind. He contacted many capitalists who didn't have many assets but had a lot of spare money to encourage them to invest. The company's total assets quadrupled and entered the fourth level. Paul S., the weakest among these three companies, took a completely different path from the two film companies above: the company made a lot of money from industrial investment, and barely reached the same level.

In this way, the four film companies in the fourth grade became the seven-point world. The current ranking is that Chaplin's United States ranked first, followed by DreamWorks, then Callum and then Stars, and below are Kepi and Frontiers.

"It's getting more and more lively." I sneered, put down the newspaper, turned to Gans and said, "I won't care about this for now. I just want to hear you talk about the formation of Callum and Aisina in detail."

Gans sat opposite me and nodded, "Boss, this is the thing. Last month, a new movie was released in Callum and held a premiere. If you are not here, I will take over our company. There are not many owners of the Film Company, all of whom are star directors. In addition to Tom of Issane Company, Fox, the owner of the film company, is Van Punk of United States. Of course, if he is also considered the boss."

"Is there someone from Lianmei Company also gone?!" I said in surprise.

"Yes, I'm going. Where is Van Punk and Sidney," Gans replied.

"Didn't Callum always have an objection to the United States?"

"I don't know this, but Alcott's attitude towards Van Punk is indeed more intimate than he is to me. I didn't think much about it that day. I'm not the boss of our company. If you want to go, it's probably different." Gans smiled.

"Fuck! No matter how Alcott's attitude towards us, he made a 180-degree turn to the United States, and it was a bit of a problem." I gritted my teeth.

I remember clearly more clearly than anyone else, why did Sidney's resentful expression completely change in the blink of an eye?

"Boss, aren't you asking about Callum and Aisini's union? Why did it involve Van Punk and Lianmei again?" Gans was almost angry at my behavior of interrupting him from time to time.

"You said, you said." I picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, and sat down.

"At the premiere that day, Alcott kept whispering to Baldwin. I sat behind them, vaguely hearing words like union. After the premiere, I saw two people sitting in a car and leaving the cinema, and then it seemed like Van Punk followed him." Gans frowned and recalled carefully.

"There is Van Punk again?! Gans, you see clearly. Is Van Punk following them?" I shouted.

"I can recognize that guy even if he turns into ashes, and his car. Who else in Hollywood can put a disgusting sign of a Roman crown behind his car?" Gans is very sure that he saw Van Punk.

"Did Callum and Aisina announce that they formed an alliance soon?" I seemed to have grasped a little.

"Yes, they announced that they formed an alliance and supported each other a few days after the premiere. Grant also attended their ceremony. But there were too many such things in Hollywood, so I didn't care much."

Hearing this, I nodded with a smile.

Seeing my smile on his face, Gans climbed up from the sofa, came to me and asked in a low voice, "Boss, is there any problem?"

I raised my eyebrows and said, "If I guess correctly, there is!"

"What's the problem?! Why didn't I see it??" Gans said in surprise.

"If you can see it, you will be my boss!" I laughed.

"Tell me quickly, I'm so anxious!" Gans pushed me.

"Look, although Callum and Aisina have a good relationship, if no one matches each other, they wouldn't have thought of forming an alliance, because I know Alcott and Baudwin too well. Both guys like to fight alone. If they join forces, wouldn't they let two tigers get into the same cage?"

"What do you mean is that someone pulls them together?! It's impossible, who can have such great ability?!" Gans didn't believe me very much.

Instead of answering immediately, I stared at him meaningfully.

Gans was so uncomfortable that he was staring at me. He thought for a while, and then suddenly realized: "Van Punk! Boss, what do you mean is Van Punk's trick?!"

I smiled: "Van Punk is awesome, but he can't imagine that his head is so deep. Only the unique boss of United States can do this."

"That dead British man?" Gans was a little surprised, and then asked, "Boss, what are the benefits of doing this for the United States?"

"The benefits are great! Look, among the fourth-level film companies, although Lianmei is ranked first now, everyone knows that our DreamWorks has great potential and will definitely pull Lianmei down in the near future. Chaplin and I are in a state of turmoil. DreamWorks and Lianmei will definitely only survive in the future. Chaplin must form a united front in order to survive, right?"

"Yes, but isn't it enough for him to form an alliance with Callum and Aisana? Why do you have to do this more than you?" Gans still didn't understand.

"He wants to form an alliance with others, and they have to be willing! Baldwin and Alcott are disdainful of standing with Chaplin in their bones."

"Then why do they listen to Chaplin? Isn't your statement contradictory?!"

"You are stupid! Baldwin, Alcott and I have a good relationship on the surface, but it is an indisputable fact that the rise of DreamWorks posed a threat to Callum and Aisina. Although they have no good impression of Chaplin, they still agree with his proposal.

United not only can ensure their survival, but also promote their respective important things. The important thing is that they form an alliance between the two companies, whether it is me or Chaplin, they must treat each other with each other. We are rich and powerful, and people understand this principle. In addition, even if Alcott and Baudwin propose to join forces with the United States, Chaplin will not agree."

"Why?!"

"Chaplin has always liked to hide behind the scenes and play with the secrets. If the three companies join forces, he will be pushed to the front desk. A big tree attracts wind! Besides, he has lost face now, and it is even more impossible for the three companies to join forces. But the situation must be quite in line with his heart. On the surface, Callum-Aisana League has nothing to do with him, but secretly he can manipulate to a certain extent, and maybe he can catch us off guard."

Gans was sweating coldly on his forehead when I said it: "Boss, why didn't I think so much? If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been sold by that guy Chaplin!"

I patted the stack of documents: "Gans, we are living on the edge of the knife now. You have to think deeply about many things. When you encounter something, you think about it. Think more and exchange positions with others, and many things will suddenly become clear. I often think about what I would do if I were Chaplin."

Gans nodded repeatedly, then squeezed his eyes and asked me, "Boss, what should we do now? We can't sit still and wait for death! We have to fight back!"

"Retaliation?! How do you fight back?? It's even more legitimate to merge into an alliance. How do we fight back?! Besides, Alcott and Baldwin are quite good now. The reason why they formed this alliance is mainly for self-defense and did not want to destroy us. So, let's just wait and see what happens in the future and be cautious."

I was so tired that I walked to the balcony, looked at the scenery outside, took a breath of fresh air, and felt happy physically and mentally.

You can see Gith's cemetery not far away. The old man's cemetery is now under a bright ray of sunshine. Some beautiful wild flowers around him sway in the wind, as if he was smiling at me.

"Gans, you are the factory manager of our company. When I was not in the company, you were the one who took the lead. You must not be careless when encountering things in the future. Dreamworks has condensed the hopes of many people. If we mess it up, it will definitely be unforgivable." I breathed a sigh of relief and said to Gans in a deep voice.

Gans walked to me and nodded embarrassedly: "Boss, I remember."

"Also, in the future, you will also focus on the three new fourth-level companies - Stars, Kaipi and Borderlands. The bosses of these three companies are not fuel-efficient."

Gans whispered: "Boss, I have an idea to deal with the joint efforts of Callum and Aisina."

"What's the idea?"

"Chaplin can build an alliance, so can we do it. We can combine the three new companies into one alliance." Gans said proudly.

I shook my head: "I'm afraid it won't work. First of all, I am not very familiar with the bosses of these three companies. Now that the company is developing well, I may not agree with the opinions of the alliance. Secondly, there is no need. If we work hard, we will not talk about this matter. In the end, even if it is done, it will be bad for us."

"Why not?"

I smiled and said, "We are not defending for survival. Our goal is to become stronger and bigger, and to eat others. The more the enemy is, the better. If you pinch the enemies together, aren't you causing trouble for yourself?!"

"Yes, too!" Gans smirked twice.

We talked for a while and saw a car slowly driving into the gate and stopped downstairs.

"Marskolov?! Why is this old man here?!" I was stunned when I saw the license plate.

"It's not that I'm here to trouble you, my son-in-law, right?" Gans said with a wicked smile.

"Get out! I have any trouble asking him to find him!" I gave Gans a blank look.

Gans pointed to Jiabao in the yard: "You and Jiabao are in harmony now. I heard from the fat man that he encountered a robber on the train. Jiabao would rather die than give his wallet to others because there was a photo of you inside. It has all developed to this extent. If Marskolov heard the wind, he would have your good fortune!?"

"How come this fat man is like a woman!" I cursed.

"Since you have done it, don't be afraid of others' words! Boss, have you known this principle long ago? Hehe." Gans held the railing and smirked coldly.

"Get out!" I kicked him without kicking him, but instead kicked him on the railing of the balcony, making a sound of shock.

The sound made Marskolov, who had just come out of the car, look up at the balcony.

Seeing me, he waved at me with a smile.

"Looking at the old man's smile, it seems that he is not here to trouble you, his son-in-law." Gans said in a slander.
