Hollywood Domination Chapter 469: “Jenny’s Choice”
Leave the dream, keep the shares, and become the prince of Disney... These messages were transmitted to Jenny's brain one after another, but they didn't arouse her anger. She didn't even feel betrayed, but was aroused accordingly. Many ideas -
ge, Disney, Robert's R, the ownership structure of Dameng, the 'Save Jennifer Jefferson Movement' during this period... Countless causes and consequences are flying around in her mind, like a spider Forming a thick web, Jenny took a deep breath, and understood what Cesare hadn't said—as always, it was another intellectual threshold, especially in the current situation, if she couldn't understand, Cesare Lei is also inconvenient to explain more.
But she also has a question to ask - in Jenny's opinion, if there is no golden finger failure, the situation is far from irreversible, and Cesare has no reason to know this, she wants to know Why did he make this decision—Jenny had a vague guess. Of course, she wasn't very surprised, it was just...
"I have to ask you," she said, applauding her calm tone to herself, "Do you want to say yes, or do you think you have no second choice?"
Cesare's performance was still impeccable, he did not dodge in the slightest, but looked directly into Jenny's eyes. tendency.
"I do think we've run out of options," he said, "but that's not the only solution after all—I'm making this decision because I want to say yes."
"Okay." Jenny said, she was prepared for this, but she was still a little shocked to hear Cesare put it back on the table so naturally, "If I let you stay, you will Do you want to do this?"
Cesare nodded wordlessly. He never cut off their eye contact, but Jenny couldn't help asking, "Is this what you think? You also tend to leave the company for the first time?"
"No, I want to stay for the first time." Cesare said, he didn't pretend to be puzzled, but he also expressed a little anxiety, which made Jenny relax a little, and felt a trace of his true emotions , otherwise she really wasn't sure about his current mood - Cesare licked his lips, "I think this is your wish too, for us, this is actually the most natural choice, considering our past... ..."
He didn't go any further, just pointing to the end, hiding all the unspoken analysis: They are all so bad at feelings, so lack of confidence, this is indeed the most prudent choice, but it can also be said It's tacit cowardice. "But now, everything is different."
"Yeah," Jenny said softly, "now it's not an either-or question—maybe that's what Zade wants me to pay, you see, we all thought he was a complete failure Under Robert's response, but no one thought that in fact, he still achieved a certain degree of success through Robert... In fact, this is an excellent satire, isn't it?"
Yes, now that Robert made this offer, the situation has become completely clear - Zade's kidnapping incident has not had no impact on her personally, in fact, the biggest impact is that Dameng lost the investment opportunity of ge , and Robert may have played a role that cannot be ignored. Jenny didn't know when he began to intervene in this matter, but she deduced that all this must have something to do with him. And this, and what Robert did afterwards, completely changed everything, including the future of Dream, and even the direction of the entire business line-Robert already knew that Dream had a chance to get a large investment from GE, but He had never heard this from Jenny and Cesare, and he had fully affirmed Dameng's ambitions for the future, which was the key to the whole matter.
Of course, if Dameng gets the investment smoothly, it will be nothing. Without the whole hijacking incident, Jenny is completely healthy, and the GE investment contract is in place. With everything already in place, Robert is unlikely to break the boat. Crazy suppression of big dreams, or to prevent them from cooperating with ge. Leaving the backing of Disney, Dameng will have a new father, ge—and this time he is a real father. Jenny and Cesare don't need to think too much about suppression. But now, Dameng has not received investment and has exposed his ambitions. It is impossible for Robert not to respond. His offer can be said to be both a temptation and an ultimatum. Nice solution: Don't you want to be a big company? Then simply give Disney to Cesare. Now that ge will not provide funds and protection, it is also a tempting choice to run Disney-in terms of Robert's tenure until 2023, Cesare is about 45 years old He can become the helm of the top six ladders in Hollywood. This is something that Dameng can't provide him anyway. In fact, even with the help of Ge, Dameng's hope of securing the seventh place in 10 years is not enough. Very slim.
Of course, until the day of taking office, everything is still variable, but with the guarantee that Robert is even willing to write it into the renewal contract, this variable is always smaller than his own struggle. ——Robert's response does have a strong personal style, everything is just right, leaving room for people, even if it is persecution, it is not offensive, but makes people feel his sincerity. However, his determination is also very clearly conveyed: Disney wants to buy the shares of Dameng held by Cesare, which will not only make Disney’s share in Dameng as high as 80%, but also make Jenny lose the dominance of Dameng , so there is no doubt that he has seen through the intention of Dameng to be independent. If Cesare wants to join Disney, even if he does not resell the shares, he must make a statement in this regard, making it clear that Dameng will not leave Disney.
However, then again, Jenny does not think that Robert must resell the shares. Letting Cesare continue to hold shares is also a kind of comfort to Jenny. Lei will not make a decision that is not conducive to Dameng, after all, he still has so many shares in his hand. This is just a choice he offers. If Cesare cashes out and joins Disney wholeheartedly, then he will know that the relationship between the two is not so inseparable. Maybe the follow-up control methods against Jenny and Dameng will be stricter, but Since Cesare will not transfer the shares, he will use a more gentle way of saying it - she even suspects that Robert will start to match her and Cesare vigorously, if he has seen something and guessed the concerns of both parties , there is no doubt that this will be the most convenient and perfect choice, the two parties can work closely together, and then—God knows, maybe one day Disney will buy out her shares at a high price and let the two companies merge, or the big dream is like this Continue to rely on Disney to develop forward, and the two sides complement each other's strategies to make Disney's territory more complete, or without Cesare, Jenny can't play the company at all, and the dream will decline like this—considering this possibility, Cesare Lei will continue to hold shares, which can be regarded as a vote of confidence in her, at least he has no intention of quitting at a high point.
Of course, doing so is in the best interest of Cesare. He entered Disney, and his future is even brighter than the big dream of staying in GE and getting investment. There is only one choice between career and love with Jenny. The problem of the dream will be solved naturally. For Jenny, her loss seems to be greater. The loss of the main manager of the big dream will definitely hurt its vitality. In the case of the main shareholder entering the parent company, it is basically bid farewell to independent expansion The idea is not as "fame and fortune" as Cesare, but in fact, this is also the best choice she can make, because Dameng probably can't afford the price of rejection-she can let Cesare If she refused Robert, she was sure that Cesare would agree, and then what?
Then, the big dream is not only facing a blow from the Disney family. Robert has just used the stalker incident to contact the Sixth National Congress and formed the 'Save Jennifer. Jefferson Committee'. He suppressed it by force, which once made Jenny feel his heart in doing things. The more accomplices there are, the less likely this matter will be exposed, at least it is impossible to make trouble in the media, because everyone is an accomplice...
Just imagine, what will these multimedia groups do when they know that Big Dream may be injected into the market by a giant like ge? The key figure in the big dream is Jennifer Jefferson, the perfect Jennifer St. Legend Jefferson, and when they saved her, Robert held her life forever, he With a network and a history of success, how could it be too difficult to convince the committee to do it again? After all, it is always easier to destroy someone than to protect her. As long as Jenny and Cesare reject this proposal, even before they get in touch with Ge again, Robert may preemptively make her the worst investment object: not to mention her health is in question, and she is entangled in lawsuits. I know that one day I will be called to drink tea by IRS, CIA, or FBI. And of course, there will be Dameng and Cesare who will be drained along with her reputation.
It can be said that Robert's rescue operation was not only a successful charity, but also a quiet demonstration. He silently showed off his muscles, leaving only a very limited space for Jeanne and Cesare. The choice, at the same time reserved and euphemistic as always, set a not-low intellectual threshold, making a small mistake: if Cesare understands this and knows that acceptance is almost the only choice, and Jenny can't figure it out by herself, in Cesare In a situation where Ray clearly benefits more, the team may even fall apart because of it, which is in his hands, and Jenny can't even blame him at all... Although it may be a bit strange to say this, Robert's series The simple and graceful movements actually made Jenny feel sincere admiration. Of course, Robert was overpowering others, but his technical movements were already perfected, and even had some artistic beauty, which simply made her People don't appreciate it...
If you refuse Robert, she and Cesare will basically lose all their belongings. If you agree to Robert, Cesare will get the benefits. Cesare took more than herself, so she would rather lose both, but she didn't think there would be no turning point for all this: Robert must give Cesare some time to think about such a big matter, as long as he moves fast enough, With a little bit of luck, they can still try to deal with ge privately, and with the help of ge, some things are not unmanageable, it will be a bit embarrassing, the relationship with Robert may break down, and maybe establish A very dangerous enemy, but in the end, maybe they can still go back to the planned route and take countless times more risks than before to move towards the Seventh World—if her golden finger doesn't fail.
——If Cesare didn't express his wishes...
He had already ruled out the option of finding ge again, and Jenny knew, not only because of the risk of going back to the old way now, but also because when he entered Disney, it would no longer be a question of either, and they would not have to be in the same room. They have to choose between career and love. Of course, it doesn’t mean that they will definitely start something. It’s just that the reason for avoiding it will no longer exist—maybe there are still some sensitive workplace ethics issues, but in the foreseeable future , everyone will be happy to see the success of this relationship, and there is no resistance in it——
"You know, this is a very difficult question." Jenny said, she looked at Cesare frankly, trying to convey to him the uncertainty in her heart, "It's just that this happened in one day. Messy -"
"You don't need to give me the answer now." Cesare said, he stood up, "I'll come back when I have dinner."
"Okay." Jenny said, watching Cesare walk towards the door, a sudden impulse suddenly prompted her to stop him. "Cesare?"
Cesare stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her. The setting sun shone on his face, making his hair shimmer with golden light—how many times had she seen a similar scene over the years, but still , this scene still made her involuntarily show a short smile.
"Why did you change your mind?" she asked. "You know, as you said, considering our past..."
Cesare's lips also rose, and he finished Jenny's words, "Never starting seems destined to be the best choice, doesn't it? In the long run, it will give everyone the greatest and longest interests——as long as we never start, we can always stay by each other’s side, and this is great for both our careers and our emotional world—"
He didn't go on, but changed his posture, "Yes, I can't deny that this used to be my mentality, maybe our mentality. Safe strategy, because you absolutely can't afford to lose—but that's based on a premise, isn't it? It's based on the premise that we're all in complete control of our lives."
"Live in the moment," Jenny murmured, and a joke popped into her head, "It's like you'd say it—a common survivor mentality."
"It's a bit vulgar." Cesare turned his head and admitted, "But the existence is reasonable, and as we said, this incident did make me realize my arrogance—maybe we Sometimes you really need to have some awe."
The smile on Jenny's lips grew stronger and she wanted to say 'I can't believe you would say such a thing', but Cesare preempted and said, "I know what you are going to say .”
A smile flashed across his eyes, "Yes, from ten years ago to now, I have undergone tremendous changes, just like you—if I felt that I would never need to grow up , then I must have been very naive at the time—"
"And you can't deny that you did think so for a while before," Jenny said, "Isn't it? At least when we first met—"
"You've laughed at me about this already," said Cesare, taking a step back, "so, if you just want to repeat briefly - I have more and better things to do Do."
"I've got more and better things to do—" said Jenny, laughing at last, "that's what you're trying to tell me? Sweet talk? Is that how you coax girls, Chesa?"
"Of course I can say sweet words." Cesare said, he looked serious, but a few humorous lights flashed in his eyes, "You will see it after you make the corresponding choice, but now—— "
He made a gesture of resignation, and Jenny laughed so hard that she pulled the drip tube and couldn't help crying out in pain, and Cesare had to rush over to check the back of her hand.
Jennie leaned back on the pillow and watched Cesare reattach the tape for her. His pale and slender fingers danced nimbly on the back of her hand to fix the needle and check the liquid level. When he finished everything and looked up at her, she held his hand.
"You know," she said softly, "like we said, we'll always be together—no matter what choices I make, whatever our relationship is, it won't matter at all. change."
Cesare's eyes curled up. At this moment, everything has never been so certain and clear. Yes, they are always changing. They are still far from perfect. They are clumsy at any time. Groping forward in the dark, maybe making mistakes with full confidence, maybe messing things up, and letting today's self suffer the consequences, but this will never change. They have sculpted and achieved each other in ten years. It took ten years to get here, agent or not, ceo or not, it's just a minutiae, the point is that they will always go forward side by side, and that will never change.
"I know." He whispered, took Jenny's hand, and kissed the back of her hand, "Always."
Jenny watched him walk out of the ward with a smile. Her smile lasted for a while before it slowly dissipated. Trouble and hesitation crept into the corners of her eyes little by little.
Letting Cesare go to Disney seems to be the best choice, but without Goldfinger and her entrepreneurial partners, how can she balance her dream and acting career? To manage a company in detail can not allow her to leave for a few months at any time. She has to live within her means, film, production and company, she always has to choose.
Keeping Cesare, of course, means trying to win investment from Ge—even if she can settle Robert and Ge, she still needs to face a choice, not to mention the issue of personal feelings, which goes back to her whole afternoon. They are all at the root of their troubles. Without the gold finger, even if she gives up everything else and concentrates on running the company, can she... really succeed?
The future is so blurred——Jenny has never seen the forks of the road under her feet so clearly. There is no doubt that each fork will lead to a new landscape. There is no right and wrong here. Only her choice, maybe she will regret it in the future, but everything in the past has taught Jenny that the future cannot be predicted, and she can only be responsible for herself now.
How should she choose? She asked herself, but the answer was blank. At this moment, the only thing Jenny can be sure of is that no matter what she chooses, it will be-
"Oh, this will be a big change." She looked up at the ceiling and whispered to herself, "No matter what, this will be a big change..."
