Hollywood Domination: 331, the night is gentle (below)
"Hi, Jennifer."
"Hi Dick."
If a superhero really existed, and he happened to be in the sky above Beverly Hills, using his perspective to scan the good residents above the mountain, looking for someone who needs him to come forward to solve problems, he would be in Robert . Iger's mansion found a very interesting, even some black humorous drama - this mansion stands at a straight-line distance of no more than 20 kilometers from the slums in downtown Los Angeles. The state-of-the-art facilities and luxurious food, but it can be easily seen that none of the well-dressed guests really enjoy the enjoyment that can only be brought by huge amounts of money. The activities they are enjoying are actually similar to those in the slums There is not much difference between the short story of the parents - whispering in groups of three and four at the party, bursting into laughter from time to time, cruising the room with eyes, looking for the protagonists of gossip, and prying whether they have already entered the small dark room Come out, and I plan to bring you some drama: Can Bob really control his two favorite generals? From an emotional point of view, they should want Bob to succeed, but to be honest, if they can watch a few more good plays and enjoy some good plays at the kindergarten level, then it would be really great...
And in the study room made of dark walnut wood, the expressions of these two Beverly Hills bigwigs greeting each other are indeed not much different from the awkward kindergarten students, both of them are a little stiff = 1 = Ben~Read=Novel=. Hard, indifferent, and trying to pretend to be cool, as if the conflict has completely passed——Obviously, neither of these two people wanted to let go of their airs first, and even shared the same room because of The helpless request of the superior. If such a scene can be caught by the curious guests downstairs, it is estimated that many people are even willing to pay tens of thousands of tickets for it. After all, money is just a trivial matter for these people, and such a lively scene It's really rare.
And in the eyes of Robert, who knows the inside story, this scene seems so funny-he is fully aware of the plan of the two people: if they come up and ask for peace with a smile on their faces, it will appear false. The scene of pretending to be unconvinced, and after a few reprimands, reluctantly put down his body and apologize, can really make the other party feel comfortable from the heart. Whether it is Dick or Jennifer, they are actually intentionally posing With such a face, the resentment and anger in my heart may have long since disappeared, leaving only a faint excitement. This kind of bluntness is entirely an expression of acting skills. What is rare is that these two old enemies who share the same thoughts actually The same strategy was chosen by coincidence, making the two people like a mirror, perfectly symmetrical from the outside to the inside, which really can not but make people feel a strange sense of joy and humor, even if Robert has experienced such a thing. The wind and rain veteran also had to cough a few times to cover up his smile, then continued to put on a straight face, pretending to be unhappy, and said in a deep voice, "Time is limited, there are dozens of **** downstairs and **** are waiting to see our jokes, so I hope neither of us will put on such a face again, and since none of you are showing enough sincerity, so, none of you are allowed to talk now, I ask , you nod, or shake your head, everything is that simple, understand?"
If it is normal, even if the two parties have a clear superior-subordinate relationship, it is impossible for Robert to save face for his peers. Adults can bow their heads so obediently and be scolded by him, and therefore, although he knows that the two people's bowing their heads and docile attitude is something hidden, but Robert still instinctively draws a sense of entitlement from such a picture. ——It really feels good to play with these two industry elites that ordinary people can only look up to. He once again suppressed his urge to smile, and said sternly to Dick, "After Dameng intends to lead the series of movies adapted from fairy tales , you are dissatisfied with Dameng, frankly speaking, you want to grab Dameng's business and let them know what Disney is capable of, don't you, Dick?"
Jennifer cast a smug glance at Dick for his choice of Dick for the operation, and Dick showed a faint expression of disapproval, but still nodded docilely. Robert felt the bubbles of laughter rising, he coughed again, and turned to Jennifer again, "And you are dissatisfied with the way the department connects private affairs with business affairs-the way of bringing Virginia into it, Really, Jennifer?"
Jennifer's acting skills are better than Dick's. In other words, watching Jennifer perform is more natural than watching Dick perform. After all, her main job is an actress. This beautiful girl rolled her eyes towards the ceiling, He snorted softly, wanting to say something, but swallowed reluctantly under Robert's stern eyes, and finally nodded.
"So Dick, tell me, when you talked about this matter with Virginia, did you hint that she would use her personal relationship to get information?" Gillia told him about the session, which made Dick even angrier and Jennifer had a triumphant smile on her face.
——Under the eyes of the two, the dissatisfaction on Dick's face became even worse. For a while, he hardly responded, as if he wanted to fight against Robert's authority. Seeing his 'dying resistance', Jennifer snorted He let out a cry, rolled his eyes, and looked away with a half-smile, as if he disdained Dick to the point that he didn't even want to look at him--I have to say, Jennifer's acting skills are really good, she turned a **** big Miss has already acted to the core...
At the moment when Jennifer looked away, Dick seized the opportunity and gave Robert a look of asking for instructions. Robert nodded calmly and signaled him to accept it as soon as he was good—seeing that he was getting older, his hair had begun to turn gray Dick's face-changing, the sense of disobedience is much stronger than watching Jennifer's performance, he almost couldn't hold on.
Thousands of words appeared on his face, but in the end he shook his head—no need to explain specifically, Dick also knew that this was an exit provided by Robert for him, blaming everything on Virginia who was not present, let Make business public and private affairs private, no matter how forced and unreliable this view sounds.
"Jennifer, that's where your main anger with Dick is, isn't it? You feel like he's overstepping your boundaries, letting personal matters interfere with business, and doing that makes you feel like you can't get your peace of mind, doesn't it?"
Jennifer's expression vividly showed that she didn't believe Robert's nonsense at all, and Robert secretly praised his acting skills in his heart, then turned to Dick and said, "No matter what emotions you have, Disney does not encourage vicious competition within the group. And let me make it clear here that Jennifer will soon become a shareholder of the group, and Dameng is a part of the group, not an investment company with estranged relations, so Dick, I hope you apologize for your momentary behavior. Would you like to ?”
Compared with Jennifer's acting skills, Dick's acting skills are indeed a bit exaggerated, and he is suspected of seriously copying the other party. He took a deep breath, and his fat face showed the expression when he watched the last donut being snatched away. nodded.
"And Jennifer, I also want you to understand that this is Hollywood, people make movies, they don't live in movies, there is no fairness, justice, and ideal happy ending here," Robert turned to Jennifer, "an apology It's not the beginning, it's the end, and it's hard to get it, and it's not bad for you - you'll have to accept Dick's apology, and that's the end of it, I don't want it to be talked about up, ok?"
Jennifer said, "bu—"
"brbrbr, no but, nod or shake your head, ok or not ok?" Robert interrupted her aggrieved appeal, while Jennifer thought for a while, then glanced at Dick again, she grimaced reluctantly nodded.
"Okay," Robert stepped back and spread his hands, "now, the groom can kiss the bride, and Dick, you can apologize."
These two Hollywood moguls are like two children, awkwardly facing each other, trying to act out that each other needs to be depressed. After a while, Dick sighs.
"Fine, Jennifer, I know that what you care about is not the normal business competition of the headquarters, but the private part, I admit," he shrugged, "in the end things did get out of control, but you have to know , I don't mean anything personally to you, I didn't mean to hurt your private life, okay? It was just business - the result of thinking differently, and if I did cause that - then I'm really sorry for that. "
As Dick threw out some real things, Jennifer's expression of rolling her eyes gradually subsided, but the sneer was still there. When Dick finished speaking, she immediately wanted to speak, but was stopped by Robert's warning eyes. Then he paused, and changed his words obviously, "Well, since you didn't mean it, then this matter ends here—as you said, there is nothing to say about normal business competition, as long as you don't If it is private, then I will not be private."
Although the tone is hard, the performance of concession is obvious-and the irony is that although Dick himself is performing, he is still instinctively subdued by Jennifer, and what it means, from the higher-ups. Partial and pleasing, the corners of his mouth were obviously raised, but he quickly suppressed this emotion, and cast a worried and asking look at Robert, as if he was worried that Robert's suppression of Jennifer was too much and lost The original intention of this good show, and Robert is also very clear about Dick's intention to show his overall view, he nodded slightly at Dick, and said gently, "Jennifer, you showed an eye-catching magnanimity today. It is a very valuable quality, which can help you go further in Hollywood, to be honest, it makes me very moved and surprised..."
At least on the surface, Jennifer seemed reassured as she murmured, "Bob, I didn't know you thought of me that way before tonight--I've always been very Dadu, I never take normal business competition to heart, I'm not so unconfident—"
As if to prove herself, and as if unwilling to be reconciled, and wanted to provoke, she gave Dick a look, smiled with a crooked mouth, and said a little playfully, "I never thought that I could be a star What kind of privileges and treats do you get, and you can avoid internal competition-I won’t be so unreasonable, let me tell you, Dick, the IP copyright of Dameng’s next favorite is "John Carter on Mars", if Disney If you are interested in this department, you can join at any time, the battle between gentlemen, victory or defeat, I can even let you go first - I will wait for you until May next year."
If almost everything in this small meeting is a multiple performance, then at this moment, at least the surprise of Robert and Dick is genuine. The two men looked at each other and saw the astonishment in each other's eyes As for Jennifer, before anyone had time to react, she snorted coquettishly, walked out of the study on her high heels, and walked towards the stairs rattling.
Why did Jennifer suddenly expose Dameng's next target? In order to play the role to the extreme? Or are you using the topic to really choke Dick? Several question bubbles popped out of Robert's mind, but he didn't care about thinking, but spread his hands at Dick, made a helpless expression, and said with a wry smile, "And she also said that she didn't rely on her star status Enjoy the privilege."
Just being provoked, Dick, who was also a little angry, returned a helpless smile, "Woman."
There is no need to talk too much nonsense between men, beat their chests, pat their shoulders, and bump their fists, and a close comrade-in-arms friendship is established. Robert just exhorted, "It seems that her anger is not completely gone. So downstairs..."
"I know what to do, Bob." Dick shook his head, and walked to the door of the study with Robert, "Gosh, fortunately, we just have to endure until the end of the year."
"Yes." Robert showed him a knowing expression of 'I knew you were reliable', and said longingly, "Fortunately, we only need to endure until the end of the year——"
Although the current situation still seems to be fraught with danger, Robert has been able to put the two fighting fish in a pool with confidence. He motioned for Dick to go downstairs first, and he went into the bathroom to meet his physiological needs, and sat down by the way. Covering his face on the toilet, he regained his energy, reorganized and reviewed the events of tonight, and only after he was sure that everything was under control did he turn on the faucet with satisfaction and pour some cold water on his face. He already had some guesses about John Carter on Mars, and he just waited for time to verify: Jennifer won’t do meaningless things, that’s for sure, this novel should be a bait for fishing, It depends on whether Dick has the passion to take the bait. If Dick makes a move on the novel before he gets kicked out of Disney, it proves that he has a full grasp of Jennifer, or even Robert. From this perspective, this novel can also serve as a barometer role. If Dick is appeased after getting his assurance that 'the successor must be you', he doesn't want to continue to provoke troubles, and he has been cautious until the end of the year, if he didn't touch this book, then this trap will be dug in vain, it doesn't matter , and if Dick is only pretending to be with himself, or hiding his ambitions, as long as his wings are hardened, he dares to deny the tone he set to "stabilize the big dream before the end of the year", conflict with the big dream again, and start asking about copyright...
Hehe, at that time, of course Robert would know what to do, wouldn't he?
Shaking his head at the old face in the mirror, Robert took out a piece of tissue and wiped his face. He also had to admit that he was already on the downhill road of life, compared with the speed of progress of young people , he seemed to be regressing: maybe only half a year or a year ago, Jennifer was not so sophisticated at all... If you want to calculate it carefully, it can be said that after Cesare and her started planning to announce the news of their engagement, she made progress. The speed is getting faster and faster, almost every time is better than the last time, more freely, and he has seized the initiative for himself with a casual sentence, giving people a feeling more and more like Cesare...
Is this marriage contract really a stopgap measure? Or they have already done a complete fake show, but even so, they have only heard of the couple's face, not the couple's brain...
With some inexplicable thoughts, Robert walked down the stairs and reappeared in the hall unobtrusively. He was satisfied to see Dick and Jennifer having a good conversation in the corner of the room. It was Yanyan who was radiant and smiling, and looked as close and harmonious as his long-lost grandparents and grandchildren—as he expected, all of this was under control.
Savoring and enjoying the half-amazed, half-jealous eyes that fell on him intentionally or unintentionally, Robert lightly hugged and took two glasses of wine, walked towards his wife, and clinked glasses with Willow.
"Cheers," Willow said jokingly, echoing almost everyone's heart, "my hero, I don't know what magic you cast, but you really saved the party—once Dick was back in the lobby, Jennifer went up to talk to him, as cute and sweet as a princess."
"Well, you have to know that although the lions are ferocious," Robert said with a smile, feeling a sense of accomplishment flooding his heart like a tide. He proudly looked at the two beasts that coexisted peacefully, enjoying the heroic gaze of the audience ——Although their teeth are so sharp, in front of Robert's will, even beasts put on human clothes and smile civilizedly to each other—"But your man is still majestic, and there is always such a man Two-handed trick." (yourmanstillgotit)
He leaned forward and kissed his wife on the cheek, and looked around his territory and kingdom in relief, with pride in his heart: Yes, although the pace of people chasing after him is still so fast, he is still young. Still have a trick or two, no?

"To be honest, Dick," Glancing at Robert who reappeared in the living room, and noticing the approval in his expression, Jenny smiled silently, and continued to say to Dick kindly, "It's just like I said, These few projects can really be done. Of course, in our analysis, they may not be as good as "The Hunger Games" and "John Carter on Mars", but they are also very high-quality IPs. Not to mention the global popularity, but in the There must be great potential in the country.”
It can be seen that Dick is a little puzzled by her confession—ever since she stepped forward and started talking, they have been discussing the recent upsurge of ip adaptations, as well as several novels that Disney had inquired about in the last round, Dick Maybe he thought it was just looking for some topics at first, so as not to be relatively speechless, but now that the topic has progressed, he has begun to be a little uncertain, because what Jenny is talking about is indeed dry stuff, of course it can’t be said that he is giving all the insights, but And definitely not perfunctory social talk.
However, as the owner of a production company, even though he has doubts about her motives, Dick is still full of interest in her point of view, especially since Dameng did not join the copyright fight for the first five volumes. Therefore, these books have not been paid too much attention by the industry, and the possibility that the headquarters will win them at a cheaper price is relatively high. It can be seen that his interest has really been ignited, "Oh? Since they are still of high quality, why didn't Dameng take them down?"
"On the one hand, of course it's because there are so many powerful competitors like this department," Jenny laughed to dispel the possible offensiveness of this passage, "on the other hand, it's also because the potential of these IPs is not as good as "" The Hunger Games is as high as that of Hunger Games, and Dameng will of course choose high-quality products first under the condition of limited funds. Considering the projects we will promote in the next few years, unless we borrow money, we will have no money to develop such works with low profit expectations. , and it would not be cost-effective to borrow money, of course, for a small production with an investment of tens of millions—"
"It's completely unnecessary." Dick nodded, and glanced at Jenny thoughtfully, "Then can I count on you to give me some pointers, Jenny, which of these five candidate IPs is more worth developing?"
"I can say my own opinion, but of course I won't give it all," Jenny said frankly. In response to Dick's raised eyebrow, she smiled and changed her support foot. "Don't look at me like that, Dick, I actually don’t have much opinion on you personally, as I said, normal business competition, as long as it’s right and wrong, I don’t take it personally.”
Seeing a trace of confusion on Dick's face, Jenny sipped soda water to cover up her deep breathing, calmed down her nervous heartbeat, and met the late Spielberg in the distance. Cesare, who had a happy chat, exchanged a look - of course, there was not much valuable information exchanged from the eyes, she couldn't explain her progress and the current situation to Cesare at a glance , and gained valuable pointers and information from his glance, but knowing that Cesare was on the scene concerned about the situation still gave her a little heart, letting her know that she was not alone, and she had spent the night strategizing with her. The companion is on the scene, ready to provide support at any time, which also makes her more confident that she can take this crucial third step——
If it is said that the flirting between Dameng and the other five majors these days is the first step, the purpose is to enrich the cash flow of Dameng, make it have a good relationship with the six majors, and let the six majors confirm the true meaning of the big dream Almost all the cash flow is absorbed by the cooperative projects, so there is no need to worry about it suddenly developing several ace series in which Dameng owns the complete copyright, expanding wildly, and winning a stable external environment for Dameng, then, from what Bob said to her personally Starting with "can't get rid of Dick when he just married DreamWorks", the second step has already been completed. Big Dream kicked out Dick Cook, who was hostile to them, and won a relaxed internal environment for himself. : Actually, this step was completed with the close cooperation of Dick himself. If it weren’t for the perfunctory call of Dick’s apology, it didn’t fit Robert’s attitude of having a big dream at all, and let them see the differences between Dick and Robert. , found a place to make a fuss, and Robert could not be provoked into suspicion, mistakenly believed that Dick actually wanted to usurp the throne in advance, and therefore made up his mind to get Dick away.
Yes, in fact, in Dameng's view, it is unfair to say that Dick wanted to usurp the throne, rather than saying that he was so aggrieved in the position of crown prince that he frantically walked out of this desperate move If he wanted to usurp the throne, it might be better to say that Dick was so bored with the position of the CEO of the headquarters, and he didn't want to do it anymore. This move to fight for the copyright of the dream can be said to be that he knew that he couldn't do it. It's just a last-ditch effort to let yourself die.
As for the reason...
"I'm not trying to show my generosity, honestly, Dick," Jenny said as if talking cheerfully, without taking away the topic for Dick, so as not to cause conflict, "I can understand what you want The reason for the copyright of "The Hunger Games" is not aimed at the big dream, but a different way of thinking about the strategic development of the group. Perhaps for the group, mergers and acquisitions are a new way of thinking—"
She raised her glass to Robert, who also winked at her, but didn't mean to come and join, which made Jenny relieved: This is the disadvantage of bewitching in public, you can never control others You can only pray that luck is on your side.
"——and you have to admit that the merger has indeed revitalized the Disney Group," she continued, "The big dream has given Disney several blockbuster and award-winning films, which is very important to the group. It is a very important addition, Pixar has given the group a new life in the animation field-but for you, the addition of these new companies has also dimmed the light of the department, and it is almost difficult to see the future, whether it is Pixar in animation. The extrusion of this part-it may be uncomfortable to say, but now, Pixar's 3D seems to really represent the future, and the hand-drawn animation of this part has been completely outdated..."
The genuine pain on Dick's face made his performances in the study extremely pompous and clumsy - you don't realize when a man is exaggerating until he sees his true feelings Pretentious, and Jenny knew that they had indeed guessed Dick's mentality: For Dick whose first job was driving a train in Disneyland, Disney's hand-drawn animated characters, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Aladdin, Gray Girl... the position in his heart is almost unshakable. When he entered Disney, hand-painted animation was the signature of Disney. At that time, the family had not been separated, and it had not become the current Disney that dominated Disney movies and Disney animation. In the film industry, the simple Disney film company is the center of the entire group. He has worked in this group for 38 years, witnessing the group's strength day by day, and the hand-painted animation falling behind day by day. Live-action movies have gradually become The mainstream of Disney, witnessing that Disney films lose their exclusive stunts day by day, being overtaken by rising stars such as Pixar in the animation field, and mediocre in live-action films - witnessing the gradual marginalization of Disney Pictures within the group, Dick The loss in my heart cannot be solved by a simple sentence or two.
This is not a matter of money. Both Robert and Dick have wealth that cannot be spent in a lifetime. This is a question of dreams and beliefs. Now in 2009, Disney movies only have "Pirates of the Caribbean" as the main series, and this series actually comes from the feedback of the park. "High School Musical" comes from Disney TV, "The Little Mermaid 3" "The box office is poor, Pixar's "Cars" earns a lot of advertising fees, "Up" has not yet been released, but it has an excellent reputation in the industry, Dream has prizes and box office, the alliance's DreamWorks also has "Kung Fu Panda", Madagascar, the blue sky and the monster film "Ice Age", the soon-to-be-acquired Marvel has a huge IP library, what does Disney have in its headquarters? Today, when the hand-drawn animation trend is over, the Disney headquarters really has nothing left! It's not that there is no film library, it's not that there is no value, but that there is no ability to continue, no pride, and no future. In the foreseeable future, Disney Group will still be prosperous, but its center will not be Disney movies. It's the major labels that have been acquired, and this is where the contradiction between Dick and Robert lies-Robert thinks this kind of future is very good, but Dick can't accept it.
What kind of future does he want? Judging from Dick's attitude, it is clear at a glance, it is not impossible to acquire, but the acquired company must provide blood to the headquarters! The headquarters must be the center of the group, and the acquired company must at least share the most essential resources with the headquarters, or go through the selection of the headquarters first to form a real strategic complementarity. Like the fairy tale series proposed by Dameng, maybe the first part should be produced together with Dameng, but after mastering this idea, the series should return to the hands of the department, because this is the field that the department is best at and cannot allow others to share. Or more directly, transfer talents directly to the headquarters, the team of Dameng, in the name of the headquarters!
This way of thinking is not correct or not, it is completely determined by the buttocks and feelings. To be honest, Jenny can indeed understand. On the contrary, the acquired Lionsgate and Summit performed well. Will she **** blood from these branches to dream big? Maybe she will make the same choice... After all, one is bought and the other is biological. After decades of catalysis, the status of the two in her heart must be completely different.
"If you want to maintain the position of the headquarters as the core of the group, then the only way out is to squeeze out the superior resources of the acquired company, such as Dameng's Ya Kai, Pixar's 3D animation, and even high-quality IPs from some branches in the future. "Because this is a public occasion, Jenny didn't mention the word Marvel, "So you want "The Hunger Games", not because you have any opinion on me, or Cesare, not because you want to hurt We - this, I can understand."
Dick's eyes have really softened, and the doubts are still there, but it can be seen that his guard has gradually disappeared. Perhaps he has become a little lonely in this seemingly unreasonable persistence... Although this kind of movie The insistence of the headquarters first made him miss "High School Musical", and caused a knot between the film headquarters and Dameng, which objectively hindered the company's development, but in his heart, Dick would definitely not regard himself as a villain , should be regarded more as a lonely and tragic hero who is not understood, and such a person is precisely the one who needs to be understood the most.
"It sounds like you've already figured everything out." His attitude became really intimate, with a feeling of sympathy, and he also revealed a little doubt in his heart, "In this case, in front of Robert, you And why do you act so—"
Very good...good question, Dick, you are such a good student...
Did not answer Dick's question, but just showed a mysterious smile, Jenny continued, "Of course, it's understandable, but it doesn't mean we won't fight **** for tat, because you have to understand, Dick ——As far as I am concerned, of course I support Robert’s development ideas, and even the whole group will naturally support his ideas. In my opinion, this is the general trend, and Robert’s choice also illustrates this point... "
Dick showed the expression of being poked in the pain again, but he didn't fight back. Instead, he just smiled bitterly wordlessly, as if acquiescing to her words: Yes, the copyright purchase of "The Hunger Games" conflicts, It can be regarded as Dick's last effort, and what he wants to determine is a question that he already knows the answer to - he wants Robert to stand by the headquarters in the conflict between the headquarters and its subsidiaries, maintain the headquarters arbitrarily and unreasonably, let the headquarters Knowing that it is still the center of the group, he may even hope that Robert will take "The Hunger Games" away from the big dream and distribute it to the headquarters, but he also knows in his heart that it is impossible for Robert to make such a choice. I give up, so I can say goodbye to the company that has been inhabited for 38 years...
It may sound a bit sentimental, contrary to the profit-seeking spirit of business people, but this is what big bosses at Dick's level value - they are not short of money, and have enjoyed the taste of power, which often makes them leave , or what motivates them to stay has nothing to do with money. Just like Dick, he wanted to leave just because he didn't want to witness the fall of the movie headquarters with his own eyes—in his heart, this was already an inevitable fate, and he was actually the one who completely lost confidence in the future of the movie headquarters.
Knowing this, and looking at Dick's passive and perfunctory performance after Robert's statement, you can completely taste another taste: it is because Dick doesn't want to do it anymore, so Dick wants to cause some trouble between Robert and Dameng , but he can't do anything too destructive. After all, this good old man with a mild personality took 38 years to climb to this position, and he still can't go to extremes now. He can't do 'although I'm leaving you, but I will still consider your future', but he can't do 'I'm leaving, let you go with me', like most people, he will still be here Take an intermediate value between the two: act negatively, disgust you, leave some hidden dangers and messes, and then pat your **** and leave. It is impossible for you to argue with me about these things.
"However, although driven by interests, we stand on opposite sides, but this does not mean that I will lack respect for you," Jenny smiled, "So, indeed, Dick, don't think that I am really nothing. Lucky you who don’t understand, really, you can treat me as an adult, I’m far less childish than you think.”
She winked at Dick as if to prove it with an exaggerated expression--a look that would make anyone laugh, but for Dick it was obvious that it only made him more suspicious: Jenny was downstairs Acting so reasonable, but just now upstairs in the study, why was he as shallow as a spoiled little princess?
A gentle personality does not mean that Dick is a fool. If he really wants to be like this, he will not be able to be a CEO. If it is said that his reaction was somewhat abnormal before due to frustration, he will no longer feel it now. That's right, he can really retire and go back to his hometown immediately. Under Jenny's suggestion, his fat face was twisted into a ball, as if he was pulling cocoons out of a mess, sorting out the veins - after thinking for a while, he He suddenly turned his eyes and looked in Robert's direction——
Although it was not easy to detect, at that moment, there was indeed a burst of cold anger across Dick's face-it seemed that he had already understood what Jenny was implying.
Very good, very good, keep up the rhythm...
Jenny cleared her throat just right, and attracted Dick's attention. She gave him a somewhat warning expression, which made him shiver, and realized his gaffe just now—although so far , Jenny didn't say any inappropriate words, and didn't leave any evidence for Dick to betray her, but in this wordless communication, the two of them knew each other well and formed a deep tacit understanding.
Why did Dameng guess what Dick was thinking, and confirmed that he didn't want to usurp the throne, but wanted to leave? This comes from Cesare's precise psychological analysis—like Robert, Dick is also a family friend—and it also comes from the fact that before the Brad irs incident, the six firewalls were in vain. So Jim also used the opportunity of training network marketing talents for the headquarters to leave a back door for himself: To be honest, the computer habits of the older generation really need to be re-cultivated. Dick doesn’t seem to know it at all. Disney There is screen recording software in his office computer, and the network administrator can justifiably check his computer screen at any time as long as he wants.
After the Brad incident, Disney upgraded its system accordingly. This back door has been closed, so they didn't get the early warning of "The Hunger Games", but the accumulated three years of monitoring before that The information is enough to discover Dick’s urge to change jobs—the number of visits to the headhunting company’s website has risen sharply in three years, and reached its peak at the end of last year after the three Big Dream movies were sold in succession. Obviously, this was a blow to him. And although CEO-level jobs are more often passed on by word of mouth, or the shareholders find themselves, the role played by boutique headhunting companies cannot be underestimated. A person who often checks the headhunting website will only hesitate to leave. Let's go, because I don't have the heart to explode the chrysanthemum of my immediate boss, and I will go further...
Of course, this is just an analysis and speculation. What is Dick's true state of mind still needs Jenny to make the final confirmation during the conversation. Only now can she be sure that Dick's state of mind conforms to the second possibility they speculated—— Correspondingly, Cesare also prepared a second plan.
When Dick has decided to leave, Dick will only sabotage passively. In fact, when he has colluded with Jenny and even ordered Jenny to deceive him, Dick may not be in such a peaceful mood-what he will do after he is stabilized is of course self-knowledge, that is when he doesn't realize it. Silly waiting for Robert to kick Jenny to find a suitable successor, and then kicking himself, making himself a complete fool.
Jenny's sympathy and prompting attitude are so obvious, of course Dick can guess that she is probably aware of it from the beginning to the end. Thinking of his hard performance in the study just now, the feeling of humiliation is almost inevitable-although he did not repeat it Looking at Robert, she also forced a smile again, but the deep irritation in the smile was still clear to Jenny, which was what she welcomed the most: now she desperately needs Dick to open up a little more, so that she can see more clearly, It is convenient for her to make the final judgment.
After knowing that Robert was going to fire him, did Dick simply make a gamble and try to get rid of Robert in turn to get to a higher level, or did he want to break the pot and make trouble for Robert before leaving: change In other words, after the brief disillusionment of "Robert and I stand together" and returning to the cruel reality, does Dick want to leave more, or does he want to stay instead?
"You're right about one thing, j.j." After a brief silence, Dick took a few deep breaths, and finally recovered his original demeanor. Looking at Jenny's expression, he finally let go of all his defenses, and She was as frank and sincere as before, "It's not personal, it's just because we think differently-I want to give my life to Disney, but as you said, suddenly you will find that you do it for it." The company that has struggled for a lifetime is no longer the company you thought it was, and the changes are happening so fast..."
Very good, he wants to leave, he really wants to leave... Just like their guess, Dick is not the type to stand up and fight. He will be even more disheartened, and more eager to leave this sad place——
Under Jenny's sympathetic eyes, he shook his head, didn't go on talking, but changed the subject, "I haven't explained to you clearly about Virginia, because I didn't know you well at the time. Understood - of course, I don't think you'll listen, but, to be honest - really, I'm not the type to take business private, I don't have any personal hatred for you or Cesare, it's Everything is just—"
"Gentlemen's fight." Jenny finished for him.
"Yeah, gentlemen and ladies." Dick laughed and compared Bijani, "very smart and elegant lady—I didn't exchange anything with Virginia to get this information—believe it or not Up to you, but I really don't."
"So," to be honest, Jenny has been emphasizing Dick's innocence on this issue, just to downplay the conflict between the two and win Dick's trust. She doesn't really believe this. Dick's confession, she couldn't help but ask differently, "That's—"
"Then..." Dick said softly, "It's about Virginia and Cesare, Jennifer..."
Taking a deep breath, not knowing what to say, both Jenny and Dick fell into silence, but in this silent exchange of eyes, a new understanding was affirmed, and a relationship was confirmed. Established—this pair of old enemies who have always had a tense relationship may not be able to say that they like each other now, and they may still oppose each other in business affairs, but at this moment, the respect and understanding based on the most basic human nature, the kind of sympathy. The love, and the consensus that Dick will leave Disney in the near future, let them have a good impression of each other's personality and care for each other's life. This is an understanding like a smile before parting. Enemies again, but at this moment, their blessings to each other are sincere.
""John Carter on Mars", the next IP that Dameng is aiming at, we are determined to get it," Jenny said again, she raised her lips, winked at Dick mysteriously, and went up Hugged him gently before, "The dispute between gentlemen and ladies, I will wait for you until January next year."
This pleasant conversation ended with a hug, and nothing could show the reality that the two had reconciled. Jenny could feel the atmosphere of respect in the field gathering towards Robert, and he was also proud and satisfied with her. Looking at Dick with relief, she raised her glass to Dick as farewell, turned around and walked towards Cesare and Spielberg, one step, two steps, three steps——
If we say that the first step is for the external world, and the second step is for the internal world, then this third step, the most adventurous and flexible third step——
With the reflection of the glass curtain wall, Jenny observed Dick's expression when he watched her off. She anxiously wanted to know how Dick would react to her words, and was also very curious about Cesare's evaluation of her actions today. Because...
——Because compared to the first two steps, which have undergone many discussions and rehearsals, and there are almost no variables, the third step is completely decided by her and can only be decided by her, which determines the future of Dameng...
