Hollywood Domination Chapter 328: Slap in the face

"Jennifer is only 28 years old after all," **** on the bottle cap, Robert handed a glass of whiskey to Dick Cook, patted him on the shoulder as an old friend, and said in a heart-to-heart tone, "This is What big movie stars have in common, success comes too young, they often don't learn humility, so - Dick, I guess I don't need to say more? At the party later, if Jennifer is not so good to you Your kind words—"

"Then I will only be secretly happy in my heart." Dick Cook, with a ruddy complexion and white hair, said with a smile. It is a good thing to vent our anger, it proves that we are still our own family members who can speak from the bottom of our hearts.”

Although he appeared to be very understanding, Robert had some concerns about his attitude: he used the "intimate curse" trick on Dick, and dispelled Dick's attitude by bluntly berating. Arrogance, and then used heart-to-heart words to appease Dick's emotions, making him feel his emotional intimacy with him and the department, and the helplessness of having to appease Jennifer in the current situation. This department will always be the focus of Disney's film business, which is beyond doubt, but now that Jennifer's momentum is very high, in this matter, he has to choose Jennifer first, forcing Dick to make concessions.

Whether in terms of reason or the situation, Robert's choice can be said to be well-founded, without too much personal emotion involved. After all, unless Dick pretends to be stupid, it is difficult for him to explain why he would Suddenly make an offer on The Hunger Games. According to his understanding of Dick, what he needs is nothing more than his own guarantee of the status of the headquarters. After all, Dick has worked in this company for 38 years, and his feelings for the headquarters are hard to compare even Robert himself—— Hard as it was, he still had to choose the best of both worlds, and, while Dick eventually called Jennifer to apologize and explain - before Cannes, thank goodness if Millionaire was well received at Cannes After making this call again, his face was a little too ugly—but his reaction was also somewhat unpredictable to Robert.

After so many years of cooperation, it is not without disputes. Before Robert became the president, he had frictions and even quarrels with Dick. According to Robert's past experience and his understanding of Dick, this is a kind-tempered and good man. But he also has his own persistence. When he gets angry, he doesn't care whether the person on the other end of the phone is his immediate boss or not, and whether he should swear or not. But this time, Dick's reaction was too... peaceful, This somewhat made him doubt Dick's sincerity. He didn't even pour out his dissatisfaction with the fact that the headquarters was not taken seriously. Instead, after affirming his attitude, he quickly expressed his cooperative attitude—you didn't ask me if I wanted to continue working. go down? Okay, then I apologize. I didn't think about this matter well. If you want me to call Jennifer, I will.

It is reasonable to say that Robert has got all the promises he wanted, so he should feel comfortable, but it is Dick's abnormal cooperation that makes him worry whether his old friend has gotten into the horns and is on the contrary. What extreme move is brewing. And this also made him more secretly vigilant, throwing away his previous evasive attitude, he took the initiative to organize tonight's party, inviting celebrities, in order to show Disney's harmonious internal relationship in front of Hollywood, to quell some rumors, and to further observe Dick Regarding Jennifer's attitude, if Dick still can't convince him...

Specially invited Dick to come over early, and the two of them had a heart-to-heart talk. This was Robert's last effort. I apologized, but Dameng still didn't mean to stop the cooperation. It seemed that he had tasted the sweetness of being merciful everywhere, and felt a little lawless. ——If before this year, he still worried that Jennifer was not so smart and could not understand what he meant, then he would never underestimate this little girl like this now, and he came forward to welcome guests with Dick just to emphasize Robert again The attitude also hints to Jennifer that in the future cooperation, Dameng needs to show respect for the Disney headquarters. No matter what, the relationship between the headquarters and him is the closest and unshakable.

Of course, at the same time—

"Roy." When Disney's important shareholder and director, the gray-haired, potbellied Roy Disney, walked into the hall, Dick and Robert, who had been chatting in the corner, stood up and greeted them warmly. "I knew you would arrive early."

"Of course I arrived early for your party," Roy said with a smile, and hugged and greeted the two presidents, "Dick, good guy, you look more energetic than a few months ago--"

After a short greeting, the guests arrived one after another, and Robert had to leave again and again to say hello. Called away by new old friends. Roy and Robert, who were temporarily alone, clinked glasses. Although they still kept smiling, their tone was unexpectedly serious, "How is Dick feeling?"

"It still needs to be observed." Robert took a sip of whiskey, "I hope everything will go well."

"I'll keep an eye out for you." Roy glanced at Dick in the distance, and said calmly, "Indeed, this meeting reminded me that Dick looks a little too old—to be honest, Old people get confused, which is why we have to recruit from the young, and unfortunately, Dick is going to age a little faster than we thought."

——At the same time, Robert also has the support of Roy, enough to make any decision he wants to make. If Dick proves that he has not given up and wants to continue to crowd out the big dream, Robert will therefore take Last resort: Before making a decision, maybe he will weigh a lot and listen to the opinions of all parties, but since he has made a choice, he will not waver. If Dick can't cooperate, then he can only let him go. ——Whether Dick goes or not can't even depend on his own performance. This is only a possibility on the one hand. On the other hand, it depends on Jennifer's performance. Calming her anger, even though doing so would make him very unhappy, Robert still chooses to fire Dick and let Jennifer's satisfaction rise back to the high point. As for the future, when Big Dream is no longer so important to Disney, how to train and teach her will be a matter of the future...

"If it weren't for the fact that the revenue of the park and peripherals has not dropped too much this year, we really need a big dream..." Originally, I wanted to express my reluctance for the possible firing of Dick, and let Roy know that he was not ruthless , not nostalgic, but after seeing a beautiful figure appearing at the door, Robert quickly swallowed his words, and he smiled and said, "Ah, our heroine is here."

"Bob—"

"Jen, Chessa." Robert hugged Jennifer and shook hands with Cesare, "You are so beautiful tonight, my dear, it seems that the nourishment of love makes you radiant."

Indeed, Jennifer's dress tonight can be described as elegant and luxurious. Although she only wore a simple red dress, the set of shiny diamond accessories she wore still seemed to be overdressed. The makeup was very fair, and she chose bright red She wore lip gloss and tied her blond hair into a bun, looking particularly aggressive. Although she hugged and greeted Robert with a smile, she still gave him a great sense of oppression. ——In his feeling, Jennifer is not in such a good mood tonight. To put it simply, she didn't come here to make peace, and I'm afraid she is still suppressing her anger...

Of course, Jennifer is an actress after all, and she can still maintain her basic manners. She also responded with a playful smile to the joke made by Robert, who basically guessed the inside story of this marriage, and held Cesare Arm, braggingly said, "Yes, we are completely immersed in the ocean of love——"

She turned her head again, and jokingly said to Cesare, "Be patient, don't throw me away right away, my dear, there are still strangers here."

Cesare rolled his eyes, shook his head slightly, and Robert smiled sincerely and happily—this inke made him feel that the relationship between the two parties was quite close, even—he could admit it to himself, and let him Feel more secure.

"Come on, come and order a drink for yourself—Roy is there, I'll take you to say hello——" Robert patted Cesare on the shoulder, and walked the couple into the middle of the venue , "By the way, it's a pity that Virginia can't come tonight. I heard that Aiden is sick. I hope he's okay..."

"Roy——"

"Oh, Jennifer, you are amazingly beautiful tonight—"

This kind of business party is actually quite boring. This kind of meaningless greetings and mutual compliments occupy a large proportion. However, it can indeed link the feelings between shareholders and management, such as Roy Disney. , he and Jennifer were introduced to each other and got acquainted with each other on such occasions. These seemingly boring and homely words may at some point affect an important decision, let someone have a chance, let someone get It is a life-changing opportunity, so although everyone knows that such a social occasion is quite boring, they are all working hard to complete this established work, especially the couple of Jennifer. In other occasions, they still need to take the initiative to find topics and get close to the guests. Now the situation is completely opposite. Invisibly, Jennifer has become the center of the crowd, and there are many gray-haired big shots among the guests who come to greet—— Investors from Wall Street, politicians who come and go on Capitol Hill, and even executives working in other companies are consciously looking for topics with Jennifer as the core, and "Slumdog Millionaire" has become today's Key words: Regarding another miraculous gold digging operation by Dameng, everyone wants to hear what the person concerned has to say.

"From the moment I saw the title, I was really interested in this movie," Jennifer also said happily, "My instinct tells me that this will be a very good movie. After watching the disc, I have strengthened my mind - I know it is valuable, and I also know how to play its value, all this is completely a kind of intuition. Fortunately, I finally got the copyright of it-if Warner decides to keep it in the end, then I think I will be in an unprecedented embarrassment: from the perspective of a commercial opponent, of course I should not remind Warner, 'Hey , you still have a very good movie', but if you look at the social significance of this movie—"

"You're right, I wouldn't be surprised if it changed the fate of Mumbai's slums." Among the crowd who unconsciously formed a small circle, someone nodded in appreciation, "Promote this The benefits of movies are not just profits, but real influence, and what we are doing can change the world for the better, which is what those of us who work in Hollywood dream of.”

Among the murmurs of approval, Robert couldn't help but smile, feeling a burst of pride—the success of "Millionaire" also proved that he still has a keen sense of film, and there is no other fact that can compare with this It made the CEO of an entertainment group even happier. However, his smile quickly froze on his lips, because—as always, at such parties, there are always people who are eager to try and add more seasoning to the gossip in the industry.

"And you've always been very lucky, haven't you?" It was Christian Stuart, a colleague of Willow's who Robert had never liked very much, but now he hated him. Rising to new heights—he thinks he's humorous, winking at Jennifer as if involuntarily, "It always seems like you get what you want in the end, especially movies—especially movies."

Although the language is quite cryptic, without even pointing out the key words, for Robert's guests, such a hint is completely enough. A meaningful smile flows from the corners of the lips immediately, and the eyes that imply dialogue are frequently exchanged , standing not far away, Dick, who was about to go up to say hello, suddenly became very conspicuous: there is no doubt that there may be old grudges between Christie and Dick, or he is a particularly unkind and lively lover, In short, under the situation he deliberately created, the first meeting between Dick and Jennifer, which could have been over without a trace, immediately became more embarrassing - this also made Robert, who very much hoped that the matter would end here, extremely annoyed.

Fortunately, Jennifer has always been considerate and considerate enough to be trustworthy...

His absent-minded thoughts were interrupted when Jennifer raised her lips and smiled. Robert stared at Jennifer in surprise, and could hardly imagine her smiling at this moment--this kind of triumphant, triumphant smile. A proud smile——

"Oh, what should I say?" Jennifer raised her chin high, glanced at Dick very clearly, and said with a light voice and a smile, "I don't know either. Why, but I seem to be so lucky, to be honest, I don’t know why—whatever I want will definitely be mine, no matter how many people are fighting for it..."

She dragged her voice out, creating a dramatic pause, and then her smile widened, "It will all belong to me in the end, just like all of this is completely destiny, and no one can change it."

"No matter how much they think?" Christie asked with a snicker.

"Oh, of course, no matter what they think." Jennifer stared directly at Dick, showing a sweet smile, and said cheerfully, "God, sometimes it's really hard for you to imagine how much they really want ——What can they do to get it.”

Someone in the crowd couldn't help a low laugh. Willow stepped forward, smiled and talked to Dick, as if he needed his help, and wisely took him away from the scene, saving the atmosphere. Cesare said something, obviously intending to save the scene, but Robert didn't pay attention to it, he stared at Jennifer in shock, almost disappointed, and became angry with this miracle girl for the first time: No matter what , Jennifer is a bit too much tonight.

Slight remorse also passed through Robert's heart for the first time: choosing to suppress Dick and support Jennifer, will it make Dameng even more arrogance, and one day he will get out of control, which in turn will hurt him, the whip-wielding dog? hand?

Such a rebellious dream, do you really need to curb it?
