Vol 2 Chapter 21: That's it

    "If you don't mind, Todd, can you tell me why you agreed to meet me?" After thinking for a while, Sean asked, and leaned forward, making a pair of Very sincere look.

    Although this puts the initiative in the hands of the other party, it can set out the other party's words, and it is also a test. If the other party really thinks about it, then they should answer this question.

    "How do I say..." Vladimir tapped his head with his fingers, "Because it's interesting."

    "Very...interesting?" Sean's mouth twitched slightly, what was the reason.

    "Yes, very interesting, I have seen many people like you, some of them famous and have spare funds, want to set up a production company to make a fortune in the film industry." Vladimir They are not shy at all. "However, most of them set up a shell company with only a name, and then affiliated with a well-known film company. After the project is completed, they will invest everywhere to form a team. But you are different, according to what I understand. In this situation, although you also put your production company under Miramax in the plan, you have all the departments set up, and several departments are ready to recruit people, this is really strange.”

    "Has no one done this before?" Sean asked subconsciously, and regretted it before he said it. According to the tone of the other party's words, it was obvious that no one should have done this before. In a word, you are saying that you are ignorant. Judging by the appearance of Vladimir, he may accept a young boss, but he will certainly not accept an ignorant boss.

    Vladimir smiled at this time: "Generally speaking, there are only two possibilities for such a person, one is a typical rookie, who does not know the risks of filmmaking, or even an empty shell The composition of the company, thinking that if you invest money, you can make a few bucks.”

    Hearing this sentence, Sean's face changed involuntarily, and the words he blurted out were like moving closer to this.

    "On the other hand, there are ambitious people, they will not be willing to set up a small company, maybe this can make money, their goals are bigger, and they may be linked to development at the beginning It's necessary, but they won't go on like this forever." Vladimir immediately said again, looking at him with curiosity.

    "So...what do you think I am, Todd." Sean moved slightly, and then asked.

    "I thought you were the first," the other party shrugged, "Especially seeing that you are also bringing two valet."

    Gallen and Sanders both frowned and loosened, while Frederick covered his forehead. He told Sean before that he would just come by himself.

    "But after the conversation, I think you have a second possibility." Vladimir said at this time, "So I am a little confused now."

    "Let me guess..." Sean was also interested at this time, and simply let go, "You think it's a bit frivolous for me to bring my friend to the interview, and our relationship seems to be a little frivolous. It was very close when I got up, and when I got out of the car, I even slapped a few words. If it wasn't because I couldn't take care of myself, and I had to take people with me wherever I went, then he was a guy who likes to play. In addition to the sentence 'No one has ever done this before', Makes me look like I don't know anything about filmmaking, so it should be the first."

    "But in the process of talking with you, I found that you are very intelligent, you know how to advance and retreat, choose and balance between words, and you don't want to set up a production company for a while, thinking about trying to produce A human being." Vladimir continued, "So, let's talk frankly, Sean, and let me hear what you really think."

    Frederick immediately kicked Sean lightly under the table. Sean knew what he meant. When the agent asked him to come over and face paralysis on the phone, he said a few words. Ladimir's character. Some are proud, some are tactful, and at the same time are a little blunt. If you want to gain his favor, then it is best to be humble and not to say some things too directly.

    However, according to Sean's own observation, modesty may be necessary, but it is not necessary to be around the corner.

    "I admit that I don't know much about making movies and shell companies. Although I have seen some materials, I will ask that kind of thing, but this does not prevent me from having ambitions." Xiao En said with a smile, "My friends and I, including Fred, have discussed this topic. In Hollywood now, to set up a film company and develop it to the level of the seven major film companies is It's almost impossible, and it's very difficult to even level with New Line and Miramax, but it's very possible to reach the touchstone level, or more."

    "Empty words can't impress me, Sean." Vladimir shook his head disapprovingly, as if disappointed.

    "I don't want to talk too much about future development. After all, my company is still an empty shell that has just completed registration," Sean continued indifferently, "But We will move forward step by step towards the goal, never stop, do or not, there will always be two results, maybe we may lose badly in the future, but this is not the reason why we are standing still.”

    Vladimir raised his eyebrows, but still disapproved: "I don't think you can do anything with them."

    He pointed to Galen and Sanders, this action suddenly made Galen and Sanders frown again, Sanders even wanted to say something, but Sean was in The table kicked him like Frederick did for himself.

    "I probably understand what you mean, and I neither agree nor agree with your point of view," Sean shrugged, "My father is also a businessman, he once said that when a family If a small company wants to develop and expand, it is very necessary to put down the air and unite with all the forces that can be united. But after becoming bigger and stronger, if you want to maintain vitality and enterprising spirit, then the class must be clear, and the interests must also be If the allocation is in place, it will inevitably lead to internal unrest. Once this happens, it will either go to the next level, or it will never recover.”

    Speaking of this, he was stunned for a moment. Vladimir, who had been a little careless before, suddenly became a little subtle after hearing this sentence, and he was also a little dazed. Thinking about it carefully, Sean immediately understood. When he introduced himself before, he said that he stepped down because of the internal power struggle. His words probably aroused his mind.

    Strange, based on what he showed, shouldn't he be driven away so easily? Sean couldn't help but think so. Speaking of which, the surname Vladimir...is it Russian?

     When a company develops to a certain extent, it is necessary to carry out internal rectification. If you hesitate or even give in because you are worried about this, it is too stupid.

    "Oh?" Vladimir also regained his senses at this time, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Frankly, I still don't like you very much, but...I am now Think you can try it."

    Sean finally breathed a sigh of relief. If there is such an experienced person to preside over the overall situation, it should be of great benefit to the development of the production company. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will understand that the reason why he agreed to come out for an interview should already have the idea of ​​trying it in his heart, but now it is only strengthened by what Sean said.

    "Then everything is up to you, Todd," Sean's voice became lighter, "I can't give you better conditions for the time being, but I believe that in the near future, You'll get paid to match your abilities."

    "Should you let me build this empty shell by myself?" Vladimir asked with narrowed eyes.

    "Isn't this your business?" Sean pretended to be stupid.

    "...I suddenly felt that this was a wrong choice." The other party raised his eyebrows.

    "Okay, Todd, you know, I don't know much about this." Sean spread his hands, "And this is also the early stage of the business, I can only find a capable person Wrap up all the work."

    Vladimir scratched his head and sighed: "Okay, I can take on this task, but I hope you don't feel heartache when I spend a lot of money. "

    "It doesn't matter, the money should not be less than a cent," Sean laughed, "As long as every expense is clearly recorded on the account."

    When we get here, it is basically settled. After signing the contract, we can start formal preparations for the production company.

    "Are you sure that guy can take care of the production company?" After finishing the meeting and answering at home, Sanders first asked.

    "If Todd Vladimir is absolutely fine in terms of ability, don't forget that your company is just an empty shell now." Frederick said half-jokingly.

    "It's not a question of whether it's a small company or not. Anyway, Sean took out 500,000 and gave it to a stranger. It's hard to say what he will do." Sanders Shake your head.

      , even a production company of Miramax's level." Sean waved his hand.

    "This is actually very simple, as long as you look at the ledger," Galen interjected, "and, I don't think it is necessary for Vladimir, who is very senior, to be in our small company. Sit on your hands and feet."

    "Look." Frederick immediately opened his hand to Sanders.

    "Well," Sean didn't give Sanders a chance to speak: "Fred, I need more detailed information on Vladimir, can you help me collect some?"

    "No problem." The agent agreed immediately, and after such an interruption, Sanders didn't speak again, and Sean was relieved.

      When we meet, we always stab each other. Fortunately, after all, they all have a big picture and haven't gone too far.
