Hollywood Domination Chapter 404: Greedy

"Wow——"

The hot water hit the wall of the pool, and a pair of hands picked it up and patted her face——Jenny shook off the water drops on her hands, and looked up at herself in the mirror: "It's okay, it's okay, it was yesterday." At the party, it was expected that there would be a champagne spray, and the whole set of makeup was waterproof. Thanks to the professional makeup, she didn't look too miserable.

Take out a makeup remover wipe and press it on her eyes, feeling the puffiness around her eyes, she smiled wryly: Fortunately, she doesn't need to be in the show tomorrow or today, otherwise it would definitely be serious disrespect.

Press and press, knead, rub, wipe, wet wipes are thrown away, the small bottle of cleansing oil is turned out, and the whole face or even the whole body is painted on: the skin on the body is also covered with foundation, no cleansing oil is needed She always feels uncomfortable.

Rubbing, rubbing, washing and washing—then facial cleanser, essential oil, and the latest portable importer. In the end, there was a big lump of facial mask, which was covered with a green paste from the face to the neck. At this time, the water in the jacuzzi was also put away, and a lot of bath salts were poured into it. When the bubbles came out, she stepped into the pool and had a long He let out a long breath: under the embrace of hot water, the discomfort after the hangover was finally relieved to the maximum extent.

"It's your choice, j.j, the decision is yours."

"If you choose to continue, I will retain the equity, but quit the company management..."

Picking up a bunch of bubbles and blowing them through the window, Jenny crossed her feet and smiled a little under the cover of the mask. She put her head outside the bathtub and looked at the delicate tiles: Yes, Now I can no longer deceive myself anymore, what kind of extremely uncomfortable feeling, the feeling of wanting to leave... To put it bluntly, it is the feeling of being out of control... Sensibility has undergone a change that rationality disagrees with, and I don't know how to deal with it all. At this time, her instinct is of course to want to escape...

Falling in love with Cesare...is undoubtedly a very unwise choice. For her and him, this should be the most basic cognition. It has been the cornerstone of this relationship from the very beginning. To each other, They should all be objects that cannot be touched, whether it is before or after the founding of the Great Dream.

As an agent, Cesare is looking for a star who can become a legend above the Hollywood legend. Super-intensive work, spurs, and spurs are all essential elements. fall in love? Is this a joke? Taking **** scenes for your client, taking **** scenes for your girlfriend, getting your client to fake a relationship with another actor, and getting your girlfriend to fake a relationship with another actor are two very different things . Not to mention that Jenny is always tired and annoyed. When she complains to her boyfriend, if her boyfriend is Cesare, doesn't it mean that she is complaining to the source of these pressures at the same time? ——Whether there is a third party or not, in terms of professional ethics alone, this is not a healthy model, and it should not appear in the workplace.

As for the company's collaborators, two people are in love, this is simply a joke, after the relationship is private, can we talk about business matters on a case-by-case basis, and how to deal with disagreements? Will it affect the relationship between the two? What should I do if I bring my personal emotions to work? If Dameng is a listed company, the news that the two are in love is simply forcing shareholders to sell their shares in the company. After all, even husband-and-wife stores are rarely successful, let alone lovers' stores-in this regard, the family model is relatively more stable. After all, family affection is purer than love, and blood relationship can never be changed. When a couple breaks up, they are strangers, and it is even difficult to meet again. She and Chris are still friends after breaking up like this, and they can only achieve this step of being friends, and never meet alone again. This is all handled very well relationship, but as far as the company is concerned, the chairman and the CEO are strangers? This is definitely the end of a rising company. And in Hollywood, marriage and love are extremely unstable, and she still has a large part of the year to make movies outside... If Jenny is a shareholder, she will make such a decision. The investment is to make money, of course. Cashed out at a high level.

Of course, Big Dream is not listed yet, but Cesare is right. In business, they are responsible for investors, employees of the company and most importantly - their own business. The premise is, how do two people develop? Not to mention all kinds of problems after the real development. Just thinking about "whether you can develop" proves that you lack the most basic professionalism. Scenarios, whether it can go on after really developing a stable relationship, and so on... And Cesare has also made a step forward in this regard-although the dream has developed to the scale it is today, it is impossible to do it without him, this It was also his painstaking effort for several years, and he even revised his career plan because of this... But, "No matter what, this is your company", he will leave the company to her and quit by himself.

Thinking of him leaving the company, Jenny pressed her left chest, and instinctively frowned——thinking of this, her heart really throbbed: No matter if he left Dameng, the prospect would be better No matter whether this is the most appropriate decision or not, Dameng is really like her and Cesare's child. From scratch, there are only two or three employees. The studio is basically to help her share some taxes. Today, this company that is close to the seventh largest in Hollywood... Even if it is to buy Dameng with money that is several times the market value, Jenny will not sell it, and if it is her, she will leave Dameng, even if it is to go to Disney. CEO, the feeling of being lost will not change, Cesare is the same for her, the two of them have worked hard to develop to this day, no matter what the reason is - to be honest, it is really divided , but even if she leaves for the sake of falling in love with her, as a business partner, her reluctance and regret are really... Just thinking about it like this, it is almost unacceptable, it is Cesare who let her choose, if she Being told that 'I've decided to leave the team we've worked so hard for to this day for my girlfriend', she must have felt totally betrayed as a founding partner.

"Don't think about these things yet." She murmured, closing the unsolvable question, "The focus now is..."

And if he leaves, as the chairman and largest shareholder of Dameng, she must think about this question: After Cesare leaves, can she continue to work in the current mode? What kind of situation will the new professional manager bring the big dream? Will it bring Big Dream to a low ebb? Can they run in well?

According to her understanding of Cesare, he will definitely not be unemployed after leaving Dameng, and the possibility of returning to be an agent is not very high. Most of them will enter other production companies as high-level executives. Come on, professional ethics should not allow him to continue to take care of Dameng, and of course Jenny can’t continue to be a hands-off shopkeeper. Even if she still has to leave Los Angeles from time to time, she must continue to pay close attention to the company’s progress, and even at the beginning. Los Angeles has been sitting in Los Angeles for a while, and this is a great damage to her acting career... For the new CEO, it is hard to say whether the two can establish a relationship of trust. After all, although Jenny's intuition is already well-known, it usually sounds The same thing, really have to rely on intuition to do things, which is a bit difficult, how to cooperate? How can a weak CEO who obeys the chairman's words build up his prestige? These are all problems.

She patted her face, pulled back her scattered thoughts, and raised her fingers to sort out the possible developments that followed. ——If you want to move forward with Cesare, what should you do next if he leaves the company?

The first possibility: She returns to Los Angeles to manage the company and finds a weak CEO to take care of daily affairs. She will not leave Los Angeles for a long time in the future, and her acting career revolves around Los Angeles with her as the core.

——The price is that in the future, it is estimated that I will not be able to make movies myself. Like "Code Shero", it will take a few months to go away, and there will be no more projects that control every detail. For a fully immersive performance, Salvi’s project may not be able to continue, and it will take a few months. How does the company work? Business people are always very busy, big dreams are getting bigger and bigger, and there are too many matters that require the highest decision-making. In the past, Cesare can do it for you, but now it’s all hers, and you can’t calm down. Even commercial movies are possible. Gradually reduce production... But this is also a requirement for developing a long-term relationship. When both of them are busy, the only choice is to be busy together in one city, and separate from two places. Is it called love? Chris' cut request actually makes a lot of sense in the long-term relationship. ...Of course, if all this is just a short-term relationship, paying such a high price for a short-term relationship is really a gamble that has lost miserably.

The second possibility: she quits the big dream, let Cesare continue to manage the big dream, and she continues to be her actor and producer.

——The possibility of this is extremely slim. This kind of withdrawal must refer to the complete relinquishment of authority. What about China? What about the many projects intertwined between Dameng and her? Dameng might still be able to work without Cesare. As long as she comes to sit in the town, management talents can still be found, but without her, Cesare can't fill her vacancy at all, which is tantamount to destroying Dameng.

The third possibility: Both of them quit the big dream, sell it to Disney completely, take a huge sum of money to retire comfortably, they can start the company separately, and no longer cooperate...

The price is... There is no need to consider the price. Jenny absolutely cannot accept this. She would rather commit suicide if she were to personally destroy the business she had built over the years.

The fourth possibility...

Shaking her head, she made a series of water splashes, put some hot water again, washed off the mask on her face with the water flow, applied shampoo, and massaged her scalp regularly to make it comfortable. The stimulation helped her to think: No matter what kind of possibility it is, it is nothing more than a trade-off among several factors. Commercial films, art films, production careers, film business careers, and... the relationship between her and Cesare...

Her and Cesare's...long relationship...a ​​glimmer of possibility...

Before such a heavy price, calculation is an industrialist's instinct, rationality and sensibility are destined to see each other, "Is it worth paying so much for a starting opportunity?"

"How do you know if it's worth it if you don't try it?"

"But, if you have to bear such a heavy sacrifice from the beginning, how far can you go?"

"Can it really work this time?"

"You won't hurt him? That's your specialty. From ex-husband to Chris..."

"This is Hollywood!"

"*!" Jenny cursed in a low voice, forcing herself to stop thinking about it, "Think about the solution first, think about the solution first..."

Commercial movies... yes, maybe "Avatar" is like a waterless thing for her, and it is difficult to stir up waves in her, but when she starred in "Codename Shero", she saw herself punching on the big screen majestically Playing cool, arousing the excited and moving screams of the audience, winning a box office of over one billion, proving that I can really do this step, and being able to get the approval of so many people who use money to express it... that sense of accomplishment make her happy.

What about Salvi's "Monroe"? Abandon yourself completely and become someone else? Drifting half-asleeply from story to story, to explore the world beyond the world, life beyond life? That is her anchor. In the flashy Hollywood, she needs such a movie. Even if it takes a long time, maybe the box office is not so ideal, but it is a classic that transcends time. Filming it is a kind of happiness in itself, and she likes it kinds of movies.

Producing, needless to say, is the only way to carry out her own will, and she loves seeing her ideas come to fruition, and she loves that control, not the power of suggestion as an actor. Working with the director to make the whole world come into being... yes, it's a necessary complement to a commercial, but she really enjoys being a producer too.

And managing a big dream, going back and forth among countless business receptions, strategizing, those intellectual games, the performance time of "this moment in life" - that feeling of power! Determining the ownership of the Oscars with one hand, changing the rules of the game in Hollywood, and affecting the whole world... How can a person who doesn't like these survive? Yes, she likes this feeling, it can even be said to be obsessed, this kind of life may be flashy, it may make her look sad, and make her lose the life of a normal person, but... it is rewarding, its The rewards are extremely generous.

What about normal life? Put on sunglasses and go to museums with Cesare, walk on his arm under the moonlight, actually put your head on his shoulder during so many (so many!) moments, really walk with someone you love Together, it’s really not about acting out affectionate feelings, or even trying to move forward, really entering into another marriage...

Jenny sighed, covering her face and shouting softly: She has to admit that this... this is... attractive to her.

So many roads, so many possibilities, so many things I like, so many things make me happy--'For Apple, doing well has never been a problem, our problem is how to choose a road, and then Give up all other possibilities and make it the best', this is the motto she heard when she accompanied her ex-husband to a speech, and now she finally understands how easy it is for the top elites to have, give up But how difficult it is, and how greedy she is - she is really reluctant to give up any of these things, and she really wants to enjoy all of them.

But the world is fair, her possessions come from her losses, and behind every enviable achievement there are corresponding scars, she has never been the chosen girl, she is just an ordinary person—she must To make a choice, she has to learn to give up——

And this requires her to make a choice, at least to understand to herself, what is what she wants most.

Jenny took a breath and rhythmically hit the porcelain body on the back of her head.

"What do you want most?" She asked herself repeatedly as if singing, her voice full of confusion, "What do you want most? What do you want most? What do you want most..."
